Abstract
This study investigates the potential use of eco-friendly, all-inorganic cesium tin iodide (CsSnI3) perovskite (PVK) as an absorber layer. Despite having higher temperature stability of CsSnI3, the challenge is to get a uniform and defect-free film that hinders the performance. To accomplish this goal, we investigated several performance-related variables for perovskite solar cells (PSCs), including material defect density (Nt
), transport materials, layer thickness, temperature impacts, and back contact work functions. Negative valence band or conduction band offset values indicate no barrier preventing photogenerated carriers from flowing into the charge transport layers. The simulation result shows that hole transport layer thickness shows a higher impact than electron transport layer thickness. For the PVK thickness of 500 nm and a carrier density of 1018 cm−3, the device offers an optimum power conversion efficiency of 20.1%. The performance is more significantly affected by the defects in the PVK material compared to the defects present at the interface. Higher recombination (Re−h+) occurs at the TiO2–CsSnI3 interface. Defects located within the deep-level trap positioned at the mid-point of the band gap energy (E
g) have a negative impact on the performance. The temperature coefficient (C
T) is approximately ‒0.367% K‒1, indicating excellent thermal stability in an open environment. The selection of ‘A’ cation, the addition of additives, or carefully controlled fabrication techniques can mitigate the defect. This research shows the strategy for creating defects-free PSC devices, ultimately enhancing performance and the stability.

Abstract
Employing a 4-form ansatz of 11-dimensional supergravity over a non-dynamical

background and setting the internal space as an

Hopf fibration on

, we obtain a consistent truncation. The (pseudo)scalars, in the resulting scalar equations in Euclidean AdS

space, may be considered to arise from (anti)M-branes wrapping around the internal directions in the (Wick-rotated) skew-whiffed M2-brane background (as the resulting theory is for anti-M2-branes), thus realizing the modes after swapping the three fundamental representations

, and

of

, respectively. Subsequently, we obtain a closed solution for the bulk equation and compute its correction with respect to the background action. Next, considering the Higgs-like (breathing) mode

, having all supersymmetries as well as parity and scale-invariance broken, solving the associated bulk equation with mathematical methods, specifically the Adomian decomposition method, and analyzing the behavior near the boundary of the solutions, we realize the boundary duals in the

-singlet sectors of the ABJM model. Then, introducing the new dual deformation

operators made of bi-fundamental scalars, fermions, and

gauge fields, we obtain the

-invariant solutions as small instantons on a three-sphere with the radius at infinity, which correspond to collapsing bulk bubbles leading to big-crunch singularities.
240 nm AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet micro-LEDs: size effect versus edge effect

Published: January 2024

Abstract
240 nm AlGaN-based micro-LEDs with different sizes are designed and fabricated. Then, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and light extraction efficiency (LEE) are systematically investigated by comparing size and edge effects. Here, it is revealed that the peak optical output power increases by 81.83% with the size shrinking from 50.0 to 25.0 μm. Thereinto, the LEE increases by 26.21% and the LEE enhancement mainly comes from the sidewall light extraction. Most notably, transverse-magnetic (TM) mode light intensifies faster as the size shrinks due to the tilted mesa side-wall and Al reflector design. However, when it turns to 12.5 μm sized micro-LEDs, the output power is lower than 25.0 μm sized ones. The underlying mechanism is that even though protected by SiO2 passivation, the edge effect which leads to current leakage and Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) recombination deteriorates rapidly with the size further shrinking. Moreover, the ratio of the p-contact area to mesa area is much lower, which deteriorates the p-type current spreading at the mesa edge. These findings show a role of thumb for the design of high efficiency micro-LEDs with wavelength below 250 nm, which will pave the way for wide applications of deep ultraviolet (DUV) micro-LEDs.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
In order to investigate the fatigue behavior of the hydrogen storage material, 30CrMo steel, in a hydrogen environment, an electrochemical hydrogen charging method was employed. Low-cycle fatigue experiments were conducted on the material to obtain half-life stress–strain hysteresis curves, cyclic response characteristics, and strain-life relationships under different hydrogen charging durations. The results indicate that the material exhibited an overall cyclic softening behavior, transitioning from ductile fracture to brittle fracture after hydrogen charging, resulting in a significant reduction in fatigue life. The Manson-Coffin formula was fitted based on material cyclic response characteristics and strain-life relationship curves. Additionally, fatigue toughness and Chaboche kinematic hardening models were fitted based on low-cycle fatigue test data. Finite element analysis was used to validate the accuracy and reliability of the Chaboche kinematic hardening model. The Chaboche kinematic hardening model showed minimal error compared to experimental data and accurately described the influence of hydrogen on the low-cycle fatigue mechanical behavior of 30CrMo steel.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) show abundant potential in biosensors, artificial neuromorphic systems, brain-machine interfaces, etc With the fast development of novel functional materials and new device structures, OECTs with high transconductance (gm > mS) and good cycling stabilities (> 10,000 cycles) have been developed. While stability characterization is always time-consuming, to accelerate the development and commercialization of OECTs, tools for stability prediction are urgently needed. In this paper, OECTs with good cycling stabilities are realized by minimizing the gate voltage amplitude during cycling, while a remaining useful life (RUL) prediction framework for OECTs is proposed. Specifically, OECTs based on p(g2T-T) show tremendously enhanced stability which exhibits only 46.1% on-current (ION) and 33.2% peak gm decreases after 80,000 cycles (53 min). Then, RUL prediction is proposed based on the run-to-failure (RtF) aging tests (cycling stability test of OECTs). By selecting two aging parameters (ION and peak gm) as health indicators (HI), a novel multi-scale feature fusion (MFF) method for RUL prediction is proposed, which consists of a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network based multi-scale feature generator (MFG) module for feature extraction and an attention-based feature fusion (AFF) module for feature fusion. Consequently, richer effective information is utilized to improve the prediction performance, where the experimental results show the superiority of the proposed framework on multiple OECTs in RUL prediction tasks. Therefore, by introducing such a powerful framework for the evaluation of the lifetime of OECTs, further optimization of materials, devices, and integrated systems relevant to OECTs will be stimulated. Moreover, this tool can also be extended to other relevant bioelectronics.
Nuclear Narratives: Rural Modernity, Identity, and Heritage in the Highlands and Islands
Authors: Ross Linda M 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The modernism associated with the nuclear age sits outside traditional 20th century discourses of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, which emphasise the trends of depopulation and unemployment. The arrival of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority’s Dounreay Experimental Research Establishment in 1954, however, brought nuclear science to a rural landscape with an agricultural skills base, situated in a region distant from major population centres. This chapter demonstrates that the Caithness population quickly adapted to the ‘new normal’ of the nuclear, something which brought modernity together with identity, tradition, change and difference in the planning and construction of a new architecture for a new community. The site is currently being decommissioned, a process which goes beyond the technical, reflecting its significant social impact. As part of this, Dounreay was the first nuclear site in Britain to implement a heritage strategy, an act which stands as testament to the atomic industry’s place in shaping present-day Caithness. Once at the cutting edge of scientific development, this chapter shows that the rural modernity of the nuclear has become the preserve of heritage within a generation.
The Birth of Psychological War
Authors: Whyte Jeffrey 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
In the current climate of concern over disinformation and the so-called ‘post-truth era,’ psychological warfare has returned to discussions of national and international politics. Yet questions concerning psychological warfare — when, where, and how it came about — are poorly understood. This monograph reveals the complexity of these questions by investigating the historical-geographical contexts in which psychological warfare emerged. Identifying the home front and the foreign theatre as its key contexts, this monograph traces psychological warfare’s trajectory from the Second World War, to the ‘Cold War of ideas’ in Europe, to the counterinsurgency campaigns of the Vietnam war. While psychological warfare often claims to make war more humane, this book shows that in practice it has expanded the scale and scope of military violence. Despite psychological warfare’s perennial failures to ‘win hearts and minds’ abroad, this monograph shows that its influence nevertheless continues to transform the practice and meaning of contemporary warfighting and international relations.
Between the Aegean and the Adriatic: The Balkan Palaeolithic and the Sea
Authors: Galanidou Nena , Papoulia Christina 
Published: January 2024

AbstractFocusing on the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula, this chapter discusses the paradigm shift towards an archaeology that incorporates the Quaternary Sea and investigates the profound effect of the fluctuating sea-levels on (a) Palaeolithic hunter gatherers and (b) archaeological visibility. It examines the sea as a resource, a water-crossing challenge and a terrestrial route to novel territories at periods of low sea-level stand. In tune with Continental Shelf Archaeology it describes two research projects in islands of the central Ionian Sea (Lefkas and the Inner Ionian Archipelago) and the north-east Aegean Sea (Lesbos) that address the ways Palaeolithic groups responded to climate and sea-level change, and their initial attempts to cross the sea or the land bridges that emerged as windows of opportunity for dispersal during times of low sea-level stands.
Current gross examination and reporting patterns of post–neoadjuvant chemotherapy cystectomy specimens: Is it time for a standardized approach?
Authors: Saunders Katherine E , Gerken Nicola , Khani Francesca , Williamson Sean R , Wobker Sara E 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is recommended for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and robust treatment response may result in lack of grossly identifiable tumor in the cystectomy specimen. Current gross examination and reporting protocols, however, do not include specific guidance on the approach to these specimens.

Methods
A Qualtrics survey was disseminated by email and X (formerly Twitter). Responses from pathologists and pathologists’ assistants (PAs) were included. The survey interrogated demographics, practice settings, prevalence of NACT use, approach to gross examination, and reporting practices in the setting of both grossly visible tumor or ulcer bed and the complete absence of a gross lesion.

Results
Based on 55 respondents’ experience, identifying gross tumor occurred less frequently than tumor or ulcer bed (40% vs 71%). Lack of identification of any gross lesions was estimated to occur in 29% of cases. Gross examination practices were relatively consistent in cases with residual gross tumor or gross tumor bed, with agreement that gross tumor should be submitted as 1 block per centimeter (66%), and tumor or ulcer bed should be submitted in its entirety (97%). Gross examination practices appeared more varied when no gross lesions were identified. Overall, most responders stated they “definitely” or “maybe” support a standardized gross examination (89%) and reporting (96%) protocol.

Conclusions
With the increased use of NACT, lack of any gross lesion leads to inconsistent gross examination techniques. This study provides insight into the current approach to examination of post-NACT cystectomies and suggests that a desire exists among pathologists and pathologists’ assistants for more standardized practice.
Inter- and intraspecific female behavioral plasticity drive temporal niche segregation in two Tribolium species
Authors: Benita Miraim , Menahem Ariel , Scharf Inon , Gottlieb Daphna 
Published: January 2024

AbstractTemporal niche segregation is a way to reduce competition over shared resources. Species with overlapping spatial niches often show plasticity and can use different activity times to minimize competition with and disturbance by other species. In many granivores, especially those living in their food resources, there is low competition over food, but other selective forces can drive distinct temporal activity times. Reproductive interference, that is, the interaction between individuals of different species during mate acquisition, can be such a driving force. Reproductive interference is a strong driving force for niche segregation between the co-occurring flour beetles Tribolium castaneum and Tribolium confusum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). Nevertheless, most studies on Tribolium spp. evaluated other selective forces, such as resource competition, which are potentially weaker. Here, we aimed to characterize the species’ peak activity time and its plasticity when exposed to a possible reproductive interference cue. We used a synthetic aggregative pheromone, shared by both species, as a cue for potential reproductive interference. We compared temporal niche plasticity between the sexes because reproductive interference is known mainly to reduce the female’s fitness. We found that both species’ activity times were hard-wired to an endogenous clock and that the sexes differed in their peak activity time and activity level. However, once exposed to the aggregation pheromone, only females shifted their activity time to match that of conspecific males, hence expressing more plasticity than the males to reduce Reproductive interference. These findings suggest an important role of the aggregation pheromone in the process of niche segregation.
Expressive vocabulary word categories of children who are deaf and hard-of-hearing

Published: January 2024

Abstract
This study investigated the acquisition of early expressive vocabulary among young children who are deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH; n = 68) using auditory technology (hearing aids and cochlear implants). Parents completed a standardized vocabulary checklist, which allowed analyses of (i) the size of their child’s spoken vocabulary; (ii) composition of the expressive lexicon (e.g., parts of speech such as nouns and verbs; semantic categories such as routines and body parts); and (iii) demographic and audiologic factors (e.g., chronologic age, degree of hearing access) potentially associated with these metrics. Young children who are DHH and use auditory technology acquired fewer spoken words than peers with typical hearing (TH) matched for chronologic age but more spoken words than peers with TH matched for listening experience. Action verbs—not nouns—significantly increased the odds of a child who is DHH achieving a vocabulary quotient within the normative range. These findings support the exploration of early expressive vocabulary size and composition—especially the number of active verbs—to guide clinical management and decision-making for young children who are DHH.
Aspirin-free antiplatelet strategies after percutaneous coronary interventions
Authors: Capranzano Piera , Moliterno David , Capodanno Davide 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitor is the standard antithrombotic treatment after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Several trials have challenged guideline-recommended DAPT after PCI by testing the relative clinical effect of an aspirin-free antiplatelet approach—consisting of P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after a short course (mostly 1–3 months) of DAPT—among patients undergoing PCI without a concomitant indication for oral anticoagulation (OAC). Overall, these studies have shown P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after short DAPT to be associated with a significant reduction in the risk of bleeding without an increase in thrombotic or ischaemic events compared with continued DAPT. Moreover, the effects of the P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy without prior DAPT or following a very short course of DAPT after PCI are being investigated in emerging studies, of which one has recently reported unfavourable efficacy results associated with the aspirin-free approach compared with conventional DAPT. Finally, P2Y12 inhibitor alone has been compared with aspirin alone as chronic therapy after DAPT discontinuation, thus challenging the historical role of aspirin as a standard of care for secondary prevention following PCI. A thorough understanding of study designs, populations, treatments, results, and limitations of trials testing P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy vs. DAPT or vs. aspirin is required to consider adopting this treatment in clinical practice. This review addresses the use of aspirin-free antiplatelet strategies among patients undergoing PCI without a concomitant indication for OAC, providing an overview of clinical evidence, guideline indications, practical implications, ongoing issues, and future perspectives.

Abstract

Background
Childhood obesity is associated with physical and psychological complications thus the prevention of excess weight gain in childhood is an important health goal. Relevant to the prevention of childhood obesity, Australian general practice-specific, preventive care guidelines recommend General Practitioners (GPs) conduct growth monitoring and promote a number of healthy behaviours. However, challenges to providing preventive care in general practice may impact implementation. In October and November, 2022, a series of three workshops focusing on the prevention of childhood obesity were held with a group of Australian GPs and academics. The objective of the workshops was to determine practical ways that GPs can be supported to address barriers to the incorporation of obesity-related prevention activities into their clinical practice, for children with a healthy weight.

Methods
This paper describes workshop proceedings, specifically the outcomes of co-ideation activities that included idea generation, expansion of the ideas to possible interventions, and the preliminary assessment of these concepts. The ecological levels of the individual, interpersonal, and organisation were considered.

Results
Possible opportunities to support childhood obesity prevention were identified at multiple ecological levels within the clinic. The preliminary list of proposed interventions to facilitate action included GP education and training, clinical audit facilitation, readily accessible clinical guidelines with linked resources, a repository of resources, and provision of adequate growth monitoring tools in general practice.

Conclusions
Co-ideation with GPs resulted in a number of proposed interventions, informed by day-to-day practicalities, to support both guideline implementation and childhood obesity prevention in general practice.
ToxCodAn-Genome: an automated pipeline for toxin-gene annotation in genome assembly of venomous lineages

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Background
The rapid development of sequencing technologies resulted in a wide expansion of genomics studies using venomous lineages. This facilitated research focusing on understanding the evolution of adaptive traits and the search for novel compounds that can be applied in agriculture and medicine. However, the toxin annotation of genomes is a laborious and time-consuming task, and no consensus pipeline is currently available. No computational tool currently exists to address the challenges specific to toxin annotation and to ensure the reproducibility of the process.

Results
Here, we present ToxCodAn-Genome, the first software designed to perform automated toxin annotation in genomes of venomous lineages. This pipeline was designed to retrieve the full-length coding sequences of toxins and to allow the detection of novel truncated paralogs and pseudogenes. We tested ToxCodAn-Genome using 12 genomes of venomous lineages and achieved high performance on recovering their current toxin annotations. This tool can be easily customized to allow improvements in the final toxin annotation set and can be expanded to virtually any venomous lineage. ToxCodAn-Genome is fast, allowing it to run on any personal computer, but it can also be executed in multicore mode, taking advantage of large high-performance servers. In addition, we provide a guide to direct future research in the venomics field to ensure a confident toxin annotation in the genome being studied. As a case study, we sequenced and annotated the toxin repertoire of Bothrops alternatus, which may facilitate future evolutionary and biomedical studies using vipers as models.

Conclusions
ToxCodAn-Genome is suitable to perform toxin annotation in the genome of venomous species and may help to improve the reproducibility of further studies. ToxCodAn-Genome and the guide are freely available at https://github.com/pedronachtigall/ToxCodAn-Genome.
