AbstractBackgroundPepper blight, caused by Phytophthora capsici, is a destructive soilborne disease, which poses a serious threat to pepper, Capsicum annuum L., production. Chemical fungicides, which mainly are used to control pepper blight, have a negative effect on the environment, rendering biological control as a promising alternative to maintain the balance between ecology and pest management. The purpose of this study was to screen the biocontrol bacteria, reduce the dosage of fungicides and increase the stability of biocontrol bacteria, and to find the mixing ratio of biocontrol bacteria and fungicides giving the best control effect.ResultsWe isolated actinomycetes strains from the soil surrounding the roots of healthy pepper plants amongst field‐grown plants infected with P. capsici. Of these, Streptomyces albus XJC2‐1 showed a strong inhibition effect on the growth of P. capsici, with an inhibition rate of ≤85%. XJC2‐1 effectively inhibited the formation of sporangium and release of zoospores of P. capsici as well as directly destroyed its hyphae, to achieve the inhibitory effect. Transcriptomic profiling of pepper leaves, postirrigation of plants with the XJC2‐1 fermentation broth, revealed upregulation of genes related to the photosynthesis pathway in pepper. Furthermore, XJC2‐1 treatment improved the net photosynthetic rate and intercellular CO2 concentration, thereby improving the pepper plant's resistance to pathogens. The combination of XJC2‐1 with the fungicide dimethomorph (8 μg mL−1) displayed strong synergism in inhibition of P. capsici infection, with a control efficiency as high as 75.16%, thus providing a basis for its application in the field.ConclusionOur study demonstrated that S. albus XJC2‐1 inhibited Phytophthora pathogens from infecting pepper plants and enhanced plant host resistance. The combination of XJC2‐1 and dimethomorph displayed a more stable and stronger control effect on pepper blight, showing potential for the future application of XJC2‐1 in the field of biological control. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Published: May 2023

AbstractIn recent years, three‐dimensional (3D) lead‐free double halide perovskites have been considered promising candidates for photovoltaic applications due to their high stability and the use of non‐toxic materials, and the absence of organic materials in their structure. The structural, electronic, and optical properties of 3D double Halide perovskites and were investigated in this paper using first‐principles density functional theory (DFT) simulation with BLYP approximation. The results showed that structures and have an indirect band gap, high absorption coefficient, low reflection, and high conductivity. A redshift of absorption edge and band gap shrinkage has been observed in the structure with an increase in the ionic radius of the halogen, which indicates the unique features of structure for photovoltaic applications, LED, laser, and other optoelectronic devices.

AbstractThe Yellow River Basin faces water scarcity and ecological fragility. Changes on the land surface, characterized by large‐scale soil and water conservation measures, have a significant impact on river runoff and ecological environment. However, there are still great uncertainties in the scientific understanding of the mechanisms by which multiple driver impact eco‐hydrological processes due to the diversity of land surfaces and the complexity of the coupling processes. As an international scientific frontier on interdisciplinary studies in climatology, hydrology, ecology, and other related fields, it is significant to study the mechanisms and assess the impacts of land surface change on eco‐hydrological risk to support ecological restoration plan and sustainable water resources utilization in the Yellow River Basin. Taking the Yellow River Basin as the study area, this study proposes several important research initiatives, focusing on addressing the ecological and water resources problems in the Loess Plateau. These initiatives include (1) to quantify the individual effect of land surface elements (e.g., vegetation, terraces, and check dam) and reveal the nonlinear driving mechanisms of multiple drivers on eco‐hydrological processes; (2) to construct a distributed eco‐hydrological model that couples dynamic land surface features, and simulate eco‐hydrological processes in a changing environment; (3) to improve the ecological risk assessment indicator system and methods for assessing the impacts of land surface changes on eco‐hydrological synergistic functions and ecological risk; (4) to establish an ecological regulation model based on multiobjective game theory and adopt an adaptive regulation mode for ecological risk management. The research could enrich the scientific understanding and theory of eco‐hydrology, and prompt disciplinary studies of ecology, hydrology, climatology, and other fields. The expected academic achievements will innovate eco‐hydrological simulation and assessment techniques in a changing environment, and strongly support the implementation of the national strategy for ecological protection and high‐quality development in the Yellow River Basin.
On informal housing supply restrictions and livelihood in informal settlements: Implications for sustainable development
Authors: Mottelson Johan 
Published: May 2023

AbstractLand use restrictions can curtail housing supply and lead to increased costs of accommodation, which can have adverse effects on livelihood among low‐income groups and thereby compromise sustainable development. However, limited studies have investigated housing supply restrictions in informal housing markets. To address this knowledge‐gap, this article analyzes a range of indicators of livelihood among residents of informal settlements and informal housing supply restrictions in Maputo, Mozambique and Nairobi, Kenya. The findings underscore that informal urban development is restricted to a far higher extent and livelihood in informal settlements is considerably more compromised in Nairobi compared to Maputo, despite that wages are higher in Nairobi and geographic factors likely curtail urban development to a higher extent in Maputo. The empirical evidence and economic theory reviewed in this article consistently indicate that antagonistic approaches to informal urban development in cities with large segments of the population financially excluded from the formal housing markets have comparable consequences to land use restrictions guiding formal urban development. Namely, that informal land users pay a price premium for basic shelter in such contexts due to the increased pressure on the housing markets and risk of loss of investments through forced evictions. On this basis, the article argues that unless viable legal housing alternatives are available, repressive approaches to informal urban development should be abolished while less restrictive standards for building and planning regulation should be adopted to expand provision of affordable legal accommodation and thereby enhance sustainable development.

Published: May 2023

AbstractSustainable development has become an essential criterion for structural policies of the European Union, and these policies have extended its environmental dimensions. The EU has decided that circular economy will be framed within the principles of sustainable development. Thus, the changes brought forth will affect activities like agriculture, where environmental policy can undermine the stability of agricultural systems by reducing their profitability. The objective of this study was to evaluate how the implementation of these techniques impacted the southeastern peninsula of Spain, a farming region that supports the sovereignty and food security of the European Union in terms of fruit and vegetable products. The production techniques evaluated can increase production costs by up to 5.5%, although there are no significant differences in crop profitability. It is necessary to guarantee that all producers can access the incentive system to reduce their economic pressure, due in many cases to financial losses. In this regard, it is necessary to establish a specific green architecture for this subsector that factors in the effects of inflation to balance the triple aspect of sustainability.

AbstractTo improve voltage is considered to effectively address the energy‐density question of Li||LiCoO2 batteries. However, it is restricted by the instability of electrode electrolyte interphases in carbonate electrolytes, which mainly originates from Li dendrite growth and structural instability of LiCoO2 at high voltage. Herein, an electrolyte additive strategy is proposed for constructing efficient LiNxOy‐contained cathode electrolyte interphase for 4.6 V LiCoO2 and LiF‐rich solid electrolyte interphase for Li anode to enhance the stability of Li||LiCoO2 battery using 4‐nitrophthalic anhydride as the additive. As expected, the Li||LiCoO2 battery can stably operate up to 4.6 V, with a high specific capacity of 216.9 mAh g−1 during the 1st cycle and a capacity retention of 167.1 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles at 0.3 C. This work provides an available strategy to realize the application of high‐voltage Li||LiCoO2 battery.

Published: May 2023

AbstractDirectional liquid spreading has an irreplaceable role in applications such as microfluidic devices, disposable biosensors, and point‐of‐care diagnostics. However, how to achieve directional, rapid, and complete spreading (i.e., superspreading) of liquids without external energy input is a great challenge. Herein, inspired by the peristome surface of Nepenthes pitcher, the directional superspreading of water droplets on hydrogel surfaces with predesigned microchannels by using the synergistic effect of the liquid‐like property of hydrogels and the guidance of anisotropic microstructures is reported. Compared with the smooth ones, hydrogel surfaces with isotropic microstructures can facilitate the superspreading of water droplets, which can be realized within 500 ms in the absence of external forces. Furthermore, directional superspreading and the flow of water droplets are realized under the guidance of anisotropic microgrooves. Such a unique spreading behavior can also be observed on the hydrogel surfaces with various shaped microchannels, such as periodic, bent, shunted, divergent, and confluent morphologies, which have potential for the development of open microfluidic platforms for various healthcare‐related applications.

Published: May 2023

AbstractComposite solid‐state electrolyte (CSE) incorporated with fluorine‐containing functional additives usually endows the assembled cell with improved electrochemical performance by forming stable electrode/electrolyte interfaces. However, most of fluorine‐containing additives are prone to hydrolysis, which is not suitable for the large‐scale preparation of CSEs. In this work, an antihydrolysis and fluorine‐containing additive of magnesium 2,3,4,5,6‐pentafluorophenylacetate (MgPFPAA) is successfully synthesized and then used to regulate the properties of the electrode/electrolyte interfaces of the all‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). The antihydrolysis property of MgPFPAA facilitates the large‐scale preparation of the ultrathin CSEs in atmospheric environment. Both theoretical calculations and experimental results indicate that MgPFPAA can effectively improve the composition and structure of the generated solid electrolyte interface film by providing rich F sources and Mg2+, thus leading to a stable CSE/Li interface. Furthermore, an ultrathin PEO/PVDF‐based CSE (≈30 µm) functionalized by this novel MgPFPAA additive enables the assembled LiFePO4‐based ASSLB with greatly enhanced electrochemical performances, with high discharge specific capacity of 93.7 mAh g−1 at 10 C and a high capacity retention of 74.9% after 1500 cycles at 5.0 C. Also, this MgPFPAA functionalized CSE can be compatible with the high‐areal‐capacity LiFePO4 and the high‐voltage LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathodes.

Published: May 2023

AbstractCO2 conversion is an anticipated route to resolve the energy crisis and environmental pollution, in which electrocatalysis is one of the technologies closest to industrialization. Alloy catalysts are promising candidates for electrocatalysis, and the high tenability in electronic structures and surface physical and chemical properties allows alloy catalysts high catalytic activity and selectivity for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. Herein, the recent advances in alloy catalysts for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction have been systematically summarized, with insight into the structure of the active center, catalytic performance, and mechanism, to uncover the key to their high catalytic performance. The alloy catalysts are mainly classified as binary and multi‐metallic alloys (medium entropy and high entropy alloy) based on components and mixed configuration entropy, on which the relationship among the active center, catalytic performance, and mechanism has been fully discussed to inspire the rational design of alloy catalysts. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives are presented to propose the dilemma and development direction for alloy catalysts. This review provides an overview of about the recent progress and future development of alloy catalysts to present a guideline for future research work on relevant catalysts.

AbstractThis research focused on finding the effect of nanosilica (NS) on the properties of self‐compacting concrete (SCC). NS in various proportions of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 8%, and 10% was added to SCC with 10% silica fume (SF) or 10% fly ash (FA) by weight of cement to improve the properties of SCC. While the limestone powder (LSP) was used at a fixed supplementation of 15% by cement weight for all mixes. Fifteen SCC mixtures were designed based on the European guidelines for self‐compacting concrete. The properties of fresh SCC were evaluated by several tests of the slump flow, slump T50, V‐funnel, V‐funnel T5min, L‐box J‐ring, and fill box. Meanwhile, several tests evaluated SCC's mechanical properties, including compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, bond strength, and modulus of elasticity. Moreover, the permeability properties of SCC were evaluated by water permeability and air‐content tests. The effect of applying high temperatures (100–800°C) on the compressive strength of SCC containing NS with cementitious materials (SF, FA, and LSP) was also evaluated. Results showed that adding 3% NS with 10% SF and 15% LSP by weight of cement can be used to achieve the best mechanical properties of SCC. The SFNS3 mixture achieved the highest mechanical properties of 75.1, 11.9, and 41,300 MPa for compressive strength, bond strength, and modulus of elasticity tests. While the results for the slump flow, slump T50cm, and fill box were 680 mm, 6 s, and 93%.
“Like a piece of wood”: The potential of multimodal translingual storytelling for restoration and peace
Authors: Zhang‐Wu Qianqian 
Published: May 2023

AbstractFaced with linguicism, racism, and xenophobia aggravated by COVID‐19 and political tensions in recent years, multilingual international students, especially those of Asian descent, are in urgent need of engaging in healing practices for meaningful identity expression, restoration, and peace. Translingualism is a justice‐oriented literacy practice that disrupts the boundaries of named languages and allows communicators to draw upon all resources in their linguistic repertoires. Storytelling, as a powerful research method and a pedagogical tool, offers a unique opportunity to encourage multilingual students' translingual meaning making for healing. This qualitative case study examined how multimodal translingual storytelling functioned as a form of restoration and peace for a first‐semester Chinese student pursuing her graduate degree in English at a private university in the United States. The findings indicate that when offered opportunities to reflect on her cultural and linguistic identities, the participant was likely to detach deficit self‐perceptions as an “English language learner” and embrace her differences as a strength, which benefited her first‐semester language and academic experiences. This study calls for pedagogical strategies and curriculum design that open up humanizing spaces for culturally and racially minoritized multilingual students by acknowledging, valuing, and inviting their whole linguistic repertories through multimodal, translingual storytelling.

6d (2,0) theory on a genus g Riemann surface with no punctures. After setting up the general framework, we describe how such symmetries can be classified up to genus 5. Of central interest to us is the question of whether a non-invertible symmetry is intrinsic, i.e. whether it can be related to an invertible symmetry by discrete gauging. We then describe the higher-dimensional origin of our results, and explain how the Anomaly and Symmetry TFTs, as well as N-ality defects, of class $$ \mathcal{S} $$

Carrollian Yang-Mills theory
Authors: Islam Minhajul 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
By doing a small c (speed of light) expansion of SU(N) Yang-Mills fields, we construct two different electric and two different magnetic sectors actions of Carrollian Yang-Mills theory. For both electric and magnetic cases, one sector contains non-trivial self-interaction, and another is N2− 1 copies of respective sector Carrollian abelian theory. In d = 4, all the four sectors are invariant under infinite Carrollian Conformal symmetry. There are no central extensions when analyzing charge algebra at the phase space level. Lastly, we compute propagators for all four sectors and vertices for two non-trivial sectors. Propagators in position space show ultra-local behavior.

Abstract
Purpose
Hemorrhagic stroke, particularly occurring from ruptured cerebrovascular malformations, is responsible for 5–12% of all maternal deaths during pregnancy and the puerperium. Whether endovascular treatment is feasible and safe for both the mother and the fetus, is still a matter of debate. The main objective of this case series and systematic review was to share our multi-institutional experience and to assess the feasibility and safety of endovascular treatment during pregnancy, as well as the corresponding maternal and fetal outcomes based on currently available evidence.

Methods
We report a case series of 12 pregnant women presenting with hemorrhagic stroke from ruptured cerebrovascular arteriovenous malformations or aneurysms who underwent endovascular treatment prior to delivery. A systematic literature review of pregnant patients with endovascular treated cerebrovascular malformations, published between 1995 and 2022, was performed. Clinical patient information, detailed treatment strategies, maternal and fetal outcomes as well as information on the delivery were collected and assessed.

Results
In most patients the course was uneventful and an excellent outcome without significant neurological deficits (mRS ≤ 1) was achieved. Furthermore, the maternal outcome was not worse compared to the general population who underwent endovascular treatment of ruptured vascular brain lesions. Also, in most cases a healthy fetus was born.

Conclusion
Endovascular treatment of ruptured cerebrovascular malformations during pregnancy is safe and feasible regarding both aspects, the maternal and fetal outcomes. Still, a stronger knowledge base is needed to correctly approach future cases of intracranial hemorrhage in the pregnant population.
Labor market changes and social inclusiveness across regions: evidence from the rise of the modern office
Authors: Bublitz Elisabeth , Wyrwich Michael 
Published: May 2023

AbstractCould complex changes in the labor market reduce social inequalities across regions? We study the rise of office employment in the early twentieth century that was induced by innovations in office technology and organizational changes affecting the type of required office tasks. The new office jobs required little physical strength. We find that the regional employment share of industries that were strongly connected to the modern office, is positively linked to labor force participation of people with physical impairments. The positive employment effect is more visible for disabled men. In sum, the rise of the modern office that differed across regions started to lower labor market entry barriers and fostered social inclusiveness.
