Wafer‐Scale Fabrication of 2D Nanostructures via Thermomechanical Nanomolding
Authors: Kiani Mehrdad T , Sam Quynh P , Jung Yeon Sik , Han Hyeuk Jin , Cha Judy J 
Published: December 2023

AbstractWith shrinking dimensions in integrated circuits, sensors, and functional devices, there is a pressing need to develop nanofabrication techniques with simultaneous control of morphology, microstructure, and material composition over wafer length scales. Current techniques are largely unable to meet all these conditions, suffering from poor control of morphology and defect structure or requiring extensive optimization or post‐processing to achieve desired nanostructures. Recently, thermomechanical nanomolding (TMNM) has been shown to yield single‐crystalline, high aspect ratio nanowires of metals, alloys, and intermetallics over wafer‐scale distances. Here, TMNM is extended for wafer‐scale fabrication of 2D nanostructures. Using In, Al, and Cu, nanomold nanoribbons with widths < 50 nm, depths ≈0.5–1 µm and lengths ≈7 mm into Si trenches at conditions compatible is successfully with back end of line processing . Through SEM cross‐section imaging and 4D‐STEM grain orientation maps, it is shown that the grain size of the bulk feedstock is transferred to the nanomolded structures up to and including single crystal Cu. Based on the retained microstructures of molded 2D Cu, the deformation mechanism during molding for 2D TMNM is discussed.
An MML Embedded Approach for Estimating the Number of Clusters
Authors: Silvestre Cláudia , Cardoso Margarida G. M. S. , Figueiredo Mário 
Published: December 2023

AbstractAssuming that the data originate from a finite mixture of multinomial distributions, we study the performance of an integrated Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm considering Minimum Message Length (MML) criterion to select the number of mixture components. The referred EM-MML approach, rather than selecting one among a set of pre-estimated candidate models (which requires running EM several times), seamlessly integrates estimation and model selection in a single algorithm. Comparisons are provided with EM combined with well-known information criteria – e.g. the Bayesian information Criterion. We resort to synthetic data examples and a real application. The EM-MML computation time is a clear advantage of this method; also, the real data solution it provides is more parsimonious, which reduces the risk of model order overestimation and improves interpretability.
Cenotes and Placemaking in the Maya World: Biocultural Landscapes as Archival Spaces
Authors: Montes Khristin N. , Clark Dylan J. , McAnany Patricia A. , Alpuche Adolfo Iván Batún 
Published: December 2023

AbstractIn the Yucatán Peninsula, freshwater sinkholes known ascenotesare the only natural water systems beyond seasonal rainfall. In addition to their role as sustainable sources of water, certain cenotes were sacred to ancestral Maya peoples. Unfortunately, today, cenotes are threatened by pollution and contamination due to trash-dumping, intensive farming, and the effects of tourism. In response to these threats,InHerit: Indigenous Heritage Passed to Present(University of North Carolina), partnered with the Universidad de Oriente (UNO) in Valladolid, Mexico, and nine middle schools in Maya towns throughout Yucatán. Together, we developed curriculum resources focused on the environmental and cultural preservation of cenotes. Our initiative not only generated conservation activities but archival materials related to cenotes. These include photographs and landscape drawings by students, community oral histories about cenotes, and illustrations related to cenotes in the Maya codices—ancestral books of prophecy and fate authored by Yucatec Maya scribes before the sixteenth century. Through our multi-disciplinary exploration of the relationship between biocultural heritage and place, we investigate whether or not cenotes as landscape markers and archaeological caches, themselves, can also be archives—spaces with the capacity to collect, preserve, protect, and convey intergenerational memory and knowledge in the Yucatec Maya world.
Ihuan Yehhuan Tlacuauh Tlamauhtiah in Ichcapixqueh. “And the Shepherds Are Inspiring Great Fear”. Environment, Control of Resources and Collective Agency in Colonial and Modern Tlaxcala
Authors: Olko Justyna 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis chapter explores selected aspects of Tlaxcalan history, showcasing the complexity of human–environment relations that have been affected both by climate change and by colonization and postcolonial domination. I explore historical texts in Nahuatl and Spanish that reveal complex battlegrounds upon which the Tlaxcaltecah strove to maintain control over land and environment, protecting essential components of their well-being and rights within the context of colonial domination. The analyzed sources illustrate the resistance to Spanish settlement and different forms of dispossession, coping with climatic and economic challenges, resisting the expansions of haciendas, securing land and water rights or defending traditional ritual practices. Tying together the common threads of microhistories across longer periods of time, different places and available documentary genres, not only attests to Indigenous agency but also makes us aware of a longer historical process in which some of these battles were won and some were eventually lost. Many of the historical phenomena traced in early modern Tlaxcala can also be linked to contemporary developments, including massive heritage language loss and environmental challenges.
Beyond the Horizon: Matching Legal Proceedings to Problems in Custody Disputes
Authors: Hellner Agnes , Kaldal Anna 
Published: December 2023

AbstractFinding a good match between legal proceedings and the problems they will be used to address, is by no means a new challenge. The complexity of custody disputes—the variations in underlying factors, the child’s individual needs, experience, and views, and the health and life circumstances of the parents—can make the challenge seem overwhelming. Therefore, rather than diving into the details of the law applicable to custody disputes, the present anthology seeks to address broader perspectives, and look for new ways forward, perhaps beyond those set out in current laws.
Nordic Family Mediation: Towards a System of Differentiated Services?
Authors: Nylund Anna 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis contribution maps and analyses the definition, purpose, and content of alternative legal proceedings in custody conflicts in the various Scandinavian legal systems. It finds that such proceedings occur both as part of legal and social services, but there is a lack of coordination between them. Expert mediators are involved in some of the proceedings, but their qualifications and methods are not yet defined. Ultimately, the conclusion is drawn that the lack of clear content, role definition, and coordination, results in alternative legal proceedings that insufficiently account for the rights and perspectives of the child.
Custody Disputes From a Socio-Legal Perspective
Authors: Rejmer Annika 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis chapter examines high-conflict custody disputes in court and discusses whether Swedish legislation is suited to providing for children’s rights and the best interests of the child in these disputes. With a qualitative and quantitative study of 33 Swedish court cases, this socio-legal contribution identifies and analyses the most common conflicts arising in family disputes, and to what extent the legal system can effectively solve them. For the author, conflicts in custody disputes can be divided into, first, conflicts of interest; and second, conflicts of value. The legal system is designed to deal with the former—concerning issues of residence, finance, time, and information. However, it is not well-equipped to deal with the latter, which dominate custody disputes: lack of childcare capacity, cooperation difficulties, violence, threats and abuse, access sabotage, among other conflicts of value. For this reason, the author concludes that the legal system is dysfunctional and that the best interests of the child remain insufficiently accounted for in custody conflicts.
Children’s Health Matters in Custody Conflicts: Best Interests of the Child and Decisions on Health Matters
Authors: Haugli Trude , Sigurdsen Randi 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis chapter addresses conflicts of interest that might arise when there are ongoing custody disputes and, in particular, how legal instruments can be used where parents disagree regarding a decision concerning a child’s health. When a child is younger than 16 years, their parents must, as a rule, give consent regarding health matters. The child has a right, however, to be heard, and the parents must act in the best interests of the child. Through the analysis of several potential scenarios, the authors discuss, from a Norwegian legal context, whether parents in conflict are in factableto act in the best interests of the child, and whether the child’s right to participation is respected. The authors conclude that the limited legal or other tools provided to parents and/or health institutions can lead to sole custody being the only way to resolve the disagreement. However, the authors also point out the dilemma in cases where the custody dispute or the parental conflict is thereasonbehind the child’s need for treatment.
Unravelling the trophic ecology of poorly studied and threatened elasmobranchs inhabiting the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman
Authors: Navarro Joan , Rastgoo Ali Reza , Giménez Joan 
Published: December 2023

AbstractElasmobranch population declines due to human impacts have been documented at a global scale, having impacts on the functioning and structure of marine ecosystems. This situation leads to an international focus on the conservation of their populations and a key step in the management and conservation of elasmobranch populations is to understand their trophic ecology. Here, by using stable isotopes analysis, we investigated the trophic relationships, trophic niche breadth, and trophic redundancy among 21 batoids and 12 sharks inhabiting the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, two productive areas of the Arabian Sea considered global elasmobranch hotspots. Isotopic results revealed differences in the trophic niche and trophic position among the elasmobranch sampled at species and at family level. For example, the batoids of the family Torpedinidae and the sharks of the family Triakidae occupied higher trophic positions and the family Glaucostegidae showed a lower trophic niche width, whereas the batoids of the family Myliobatidae or Gymnuridae, in overall, showed lower higher trophic niche width, reflecting the trophic habits described for most of the sampled species. We also provided some insights into the ecology of poorly known species, especially relevant for those that are endangered at a global or regional scale. In conclusion, we provide new information about the trophic ecology among batoids and sharks inhabiting the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. This information is highly useful to study the consequences of future changes on their feeding preferences due to natural or human-related factors.

Good weather for a ride (or not?): how weather conditions impact road accidents — a case study from Wielkopolska (Poland)
Authors: Pińskwar Iwona , Choryński Adam , Graczyk Dariusz 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis study offers a likely assessment of extreme meteorological events’ impact on human perceptivity, frame of mind or even health during driving which might have had a consequence as a car accident. Research covered an analysis of car accidents during period 2010–2019 in the Wielkopolska (Poland) and four indices like maximum daily temperature, maximum value of humidex, difference between maximum temperatures observed from day to day and also difference between mean atmospheric pressure at the sea level observed from day to day. A distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) approach was used to obtain the relationship between these indices and car accidents. Our finding evidence that the “good weather for a ride” conditions are actually generating an increased risk of accidents. For indices related to high temperature, i.e., maximum temperature and humidex, it was possible to identify the critical values by which the risks of car accidents were the highest.

AbstractFunctional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA) is one of the most common causes of both primary and secondary amenorrhea in women of reproductive age. It is characterized by chronic anovulation and the absence of menses that appear as a result of stressors such as eating disorders, excessive exercise, or psychological distress. FHA is presumed to be a functional disruption in the pulsatile secretion of hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone, which in turn impairs the release of gonadotropin. Hypoestrogenism is observed due to the absence of ovarian follicle recruitment. Numerous neurotransmitters have been identified which play an important role in the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis and of which the impairment would contribute to developing FHA. In this review we summarize the most recent advances in the identification of contributing neuroendocrine disturbances and relevant contributors to the development of FHA.

Published: December 2023

AbstractDynamically engineering the optical and electrical properties in two-dimensional (2D) materials is of great significance for designing the related functions and applications. The introduction of foreign-atoms has previously been proven to be a feasible way to tune the band structure and related properties of 3D materials; however, this approach still remains to be explored in 2D materials. Here, we systematically demonstrate the growth of vanadium-doped molybdenum disulfide (V-doped MoS2) monolayers via an alkali metal-assisted chemical vapor deposition method. Scanning transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that V atoms substituted the Mo atoms and became uniformly distributed in the MoS2 monolayers. This was also confirmed by Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Power-dependent photoluminescence spectra clearly revealed the enhanced B-exciton emission characteristics in the V-doped MoS2 monolayers (with low doping concentration). Most importantly, through temperature-dependent study, we observed efficient valley scattering of the B-exciton, greatly enhancing its emission intensity. Carrier transport experiments indicated that typical p-type conduction gradually arisen and was enhanced with increasing V composition in the V-doped MoS2, where a clear n-type behavior transited first to ambipolar and then to lightly p-type charge carrier transport. In addition, visible to infrared wide-band photodetectors based on V-doped MoS2 monolayers (with low doping concentration) were demonstrated. The V-doped MoS2 monolayers with distinct B-exciton emission, enhanced p-type conduction and broad spectral response can provide new platforms for probing new physics and offer novel materials for optoelectronic applications.

Mapping Seismic Hazard for Canadian Sites Using Spatially Smoothed Seismicity Model
Authors: Feng Chao , Hong Han-Ping 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe estimated seismic hazard based on the delineated seismic source model is used as the basis to assign the seismic design loads in Canadian structural design codes. An alternative for the estimation is based on a spatially smoothed source model. However, a quantification of differences in the Canadian seismic hazard maps (CanSHMs) obtained based on the delineated seismic source model and spatially smoothed model is unavailable. The quantification is valuable to identify epistemic uncertainty in the estimated seismic hazard and the degree of uncertainty in the CanSHMs. In the present study, we developed seismic source models using spatial smoothing and historical earthquake catalogue. We quantified the differences in the estimated Canadian seismic hazard by considering the delineated source model and spatially smoothed source models. For the development of the spatially smoothed seismic source models, we considered spatial kernel smoothing techniques with or without adaptive bandwidth. The results indicate that the use of the delineated seismic source model could lead to under or over-estimation of the seismic hazard as compared to those estimated based on spatially smoothed seismic source models. This suggests that an epistemic uncertainty caused by the seismic source models should be considered to map the seismic hazard.
Study of optimization for material processing parameters by means of probabilistic methodology for multi-objective optimization
Authors: Zheng Maosheng , Yu Jie 
Published: December 2023

AbstractOptimization for material processing parameters is a typical problem of multi-objective optimization, therefore selection and use of proper multi-objective optimization approach is indispensible. The inherent characteristic of newly proposed probabilistic methodology for multi-objective optimization is that it is with the feature of optimization of multiple objectives at the same time in viewpoint of system theory and in spirit of probability theory. In the present paper, the probabilistic methodology is employed to perform the designs of materials processing for improving quality and cost saving at the same time. The laser welding process of ANSI 304 austenitic stainless steel by using a pulsed Nd: YAG laser welding system and thin-wall machining of milling aluminum alloy 2024-T351 are taken as two examples. The quantitative optimum design of materials processing is performed equitably by conducting the assessment of preferable probability of each alternative. The studies indicate that: (1). the optimized parametric combination for the laser welding process of 2 mm thickness ANSI 304 austenitic stainless steel by using a pulsed Nd: YAG laser welding system is at laser parameters of 2.7 kW peak power, welding speed of 2 cm/min and pulse duration of 4 ms; (2). the optimized combination parameter for the thin-wall machining of milling aluminum alloy 2024-T351 is at tool diameter of 8 mm, feed per tooth of 0.06 mm/z, axial cut depth of 24 mm and radial cut depth of 0.625 mm. The optimal configurations guarantee the comprehensive quality of product and reducing energy consumption.
Are individual differences in loss aversion related to ADHD symptomatology?
Authors: McKee Tara E. , Reilly Kerry 
Published: December 2023

AbstractLoss aversion, or the greater sensitivity to losses than equivalent gains, has been shown to vary across individuals, but has yet to be thoroughly examined in relation to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptomatology. Examining factors related to decision-making in ADHD has important implications for interventions as well as understanding engagement in risky behavior. Undergraduates (N = 98; 73% women) completed questionnaires measuring ADHD symptomatology, loss aversion, and gambling preference as well as the Balloon Analog Risk Task. Individuals with high ADHD symptomatology (n = 50) were less loss averse than those low in symptomatology, even after controlling for individual differences in risk taking and gambling preference. Inattention symptoms were not related to loss aversion after controlling for hyperactivity/impulsivity, risk taking, and gambling preference. Greater hyperactivity/impulsivity was related to less loss aversion, even after covariates were controlled. It is unclear if group differences were the result of reduced sensitivity to losses, increased attraction to gains, or both. Future research should examine if reduced loss aversion in those with high ADHD symptomatology replicates using other decision-making paradigms and whether or not loss aversion mediates the relationship between ADHD and risk-taking behavior.
Solitary or starry? Path options of the total factor productivity improvement in the aquatic seed industry from the configuration perspective
Authors: Zheng Hui , Zhang Li , Zhao Xin 
Published: December 2023

AbstractAs the top supplier of global aquaculture, China possesses the largest aquaculture seed industry, which is an essential contributor to promoting the sustainable development of fisheries and safeguarding global food security. This paper aims to explore the effective path to total factor productivity (TFP) enhancement. First, the paper designs a theoretical framework for multifactor (including resource, technology, talent, capital, and system) synergy driving aquatic seed industry development based on system dynamics. Then, the driven path of multifactor synergy for TFP improvement is investigated through the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method by taking six listed enterprises in the aquatic seed industry from 2017 to 2021 as the case study. Results show that single-factor inputs, such as resource, technology, talent, capital, and system, are unnecessary conditions for improving the TFP of the enterprise. Interestingly, the sufficiency analysis shows four equivalent paths of multifactor synergy-driven enterprise TFP improvement, which are further classified into three categories denominated as resource-oriented, integrated, and technology-oriented factor configurations. Of these, resource–capital and technology–talent factor synergies are two core-driven conditions, and an equivalent substitution relationship exists between capital and system. This paper provides some recommendations for policymakers and aquatic seed entrepreneurs based on the above findings.
Leveraging Human Rights Due Diligence in Corporate-State Procurement: The Exemplar of the Pfizer-Israeli COVID-19 Vaccination Program
Authors: Slawotsky Joel 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This article opines that corporations should utilize leverage in procurement contracts with states to prevent human rights abuses. Capitalizing on leverage over state business partners should be understood as an under-explored but intriguing dimension to the advancement of human rights. This article uses the example of the Pfizer-Israel procurement contract to provide mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations as a case study. While the Pfizer-Israel contract required Israeli governmental compliance with various laws, and referenced other legal obligations, no reference to human rights, such as the right to informed consent, was made in any contractual provision. The failure of Pfizer to insert contractual provisions regarding the Israeli government’s duty to obtain informed consent provides a glaring exemplar of a missed corporate opportunity to fulfil the corporate responsibility to respect human rights.
