Nanogenerators and piezotronics: From scientific discoveries to technology breakthroughs
Authors: Wang Zhong Lin 
Published: September 2023

AbstractNanogenerators is a field that uses the piezoelectric and/or triboelectric effect for converting low-grade mechanical energy (termed as high-entropy energy) into electric power, with a great potential for applications in the Internet of Things, self-powered sensors, robotics, medical science, and even artificial intelligence. Piezotronics is a field that utilizes the piezoelectric polarization in third-generation semiconductors for controlling the charge-carrier transport in semiconductor devices. These two fields were first coined by Wang’s group in 2006 and 2007, respectively. This article reviews the background and initial ideas based on which we introduced the following original discoveries and effects: piezoelectric nanogenerators; triboelectric nanogenerators; self-powered sensor; hybrid cell; nano energy; high-entropy energy; piezotronics; and piezo-phototronics. As inspired by these original discoveries, the current technologies developed based on the scientific discoveries of nanogenerators and piezotronics are also reviewed.

Gas-phase electron microscopy for materials research
Authors: Unocic Raymond R. , Stach Eric A. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractDetailed studies of interfacial gas-phase chemical reactions are important for understanding factors that control materials synthesis and environmental conditions that govern materials performance and degradation. Out of the many materials characterization methods that are available for interpreting gas–solid reaction processes, in situ and operando transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is perhaps the most versatile, multimodal materials characterization technique. It has successfully been utilized to study interfacial gas–solid interactions under a wide range of environmental conditions, such as gas composition, humidity, pressure, and temperature. This stems from decades of R&D that permit controlled gas delivery and the ability to maintain a gaseous environment directly within the TEM column itself or through specialized side-entry gas-cell holders. Combined with capabilities for real-time, high spatial resolution imaging, electron diffraction and spectroscopy, dynamic structural and chemical changes can be investigated to determine fundamental reaction mechanisms and kinetics that occur at site-specific interfaces. This issue of MRS Bulletin covers research in this field ranging from technique development to the utilization of gas-phase microscopy methods that have been used to develop an improved understanding of multilength-scaled processes incurred during materials synthesis, catalytic reactions, and environmental exposure effects on materials properties.

Pergulatan Politik Pesantren Era Reformasi
Authors: Nugroho Anjar 
Published: September 2023

The focus of this study examines the role of pesantren politics during the reform period; the form of political maneuvering of political parties as well as the current pesantren response, as well as the background of thought and reasons raised by pesantren. Particularly to be analyzed is the relation of pesantren with economic and political interests in the multi-party reform era political configuration.For the pesantren leader (kiai) in Banyumas, politics really is a necessity that can be done by all components of the nation, which can be done in various ways. Although most of the pesantren leaders (kiai) in Banyumas show an open attitude towards political parties, especially political parties based on Islam, but in their concrete choices are influenced by various factors, especially cultural (ideological) and structural (organizational) factors. Second, for political parties, the kiai's position is crucial to provide political and cultural legitimacy to his constituents.
Pergeseran Identitas Arab Saudi dan Proliferasi Terorisme
Authors: Yulianti Dina 
Published: September 2023

Various reports say that Saudi Arabia is the main funder to various institutions spreading Wahhabism teachings that were considered by some as the ideological roots of radicalism and terrorism. King Salman's administration has been marked by a series of effort to establish a new identity for the moderate Saudi Kingdom. In March 2018, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman even admitted that his country had played a role in spreading Wahhabism, but was now determined to make changes. This article seeks to answer the question how is the real role of Saudi Arabia in the proliferation of terrorism in the world and what is the cause of the changing behaviour of Saudi Arabia's foreign policy in the era of King Salman? By using the theory of constructivism (agent-structure relations) in foreign policy, the authors argue that Saudi Arabia as an agent perceives its identity in accordance with the pressure of the global economy and the massive criticism of the international community against her support for the extreme groups. Facing these two pressures, Saudi Arabia tries to shift its identity into a moderate state. But at the same time, the identity of being a Muslim world leader vis-a-vis Iran aggravates the Saudis to continue spreading of Wahhabism. Thus it can be concluded that Saudi Arabia has dualism of identity in order to achieve polarity of its national interests.
On ‘Systematic theology’ and the contested shape of a discipline
Authors: Westerholm Martin 
Published: September 2023

This essay takes up questions about how systematic theology can understand itself in light of critical questions about the functioning of the label. In face of concerns about the exclusionary functioning of the term, the essay develops a set of philosophical distinctions that may help theologians to understand the shape of their discipline. The picture that emerges is of a discipline that is constituted by shifting constellations of historical precedents rather than rigid boundaries; that moves through epistemic justice for the sake of discovering truth, which furthers the pursuit of wider forms of justice; and that functions hermeneutically rather than analytically or critically in its understanding of language.
A Site-Response Model for the Vertical Component of Ground-Motion Prediction Equation Using a New Site-Response Parameter TVH
Authors: Bai Shihong , Zhao John X. 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT
This study presents an alternate site-response model to the existing ground-motion prediction equation (GMPE) from our previous study with some calibration to the magnitude term. We used a new site-response proxy TVH=4×max(30,HB)/VS30 that combines VS30 (the travel-time-averaged shear-wave velocity to 30 m depth) with the engineering bedrock depth HB. VS30 is available for many strong-motion recording stations. However, GMPEs using VS30 do not directly account for the response of the soil layers between 30 m and bedrock depth. Site period TS (four times the shear-wave travel time to the engineering bedrock depth) has also been used in recent GMPEs, with TS being considered a theoretically better parameter than a pseudosite period TVS30 (four times the shear-wave travel time to a depth of 30 m). Obtaining the shear-wave velocity profiles between 30 m and HB for a deep soil site can be expensive, whereas obtaining bedrock depth based on the geotechnical description of borehole data may be relatively easy. We used velocity profiles from the Kyoshin net and Kiban–Kyoshin net strong-motion networks and found that a pseudosite period TVH and TS have an excellent correlation with a small standard deviation at all spectral periods, suggesting that TVH is a suitable site-effect parameter. The poor correlations between TVS30 and TS and between TVS30 and TVH for sites with TS&gt;0.4  s led to poor model performance at long spectral periods. We modified a GMPE by replacing TVS30 with TVH, and we made a minor modification to the moment magnitude term of the GMPE that was necessary for the new site term. The response spectra predicted by models using TVH, TS, and TVS30 at short spectral periods up to 0.6 s are generally similar. At long spectral periods, the spectra predicted by the TVS30 are much smaller than those from the other two GMPEs. For all spectral periods, TVH is an excellent substitute for TVS30.

Published: September 2023

Aim This study aimed to evaluate the potential relationships between atrial fibrillation (AF) and hematological indices, such as neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet / lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume / platelet (MPV / PLT), neutrophil / monocyte ratio (NMR), lymphocyte / monocyte ratio (LMR), systemic immune inflammation index (SII, platelet x neutrophil / lymphocytes), and monocyte / high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR), that can be obtained from the complete blood count (CBC test).Material and method This retrospective study included 150 patients aged 40–80 yrs who were diagnosed with AF, and 91 age- and gender-matched controls. Hematological indices and inflammation markers were evaluated.Results In the AF group, NLR, PLR, SII, MHR, and MPV / PLT were elevated, and LMR was low. Multivariate regression analysis showed that hematological indices NLR, SII, and MHR were significant, independent, predictive factors for AF. ROC curves revealed the following significant sensitivity and specificity values: NLR 75 %, 52.3 %; LMR 61.3 %, 67.3 %; SII 67.4 %, 64.6 %; MHR 100 %, 56 %.Conclusion NLR, PLR, LMR, SII, MPV / PLT, and MHR may be useful in the early prediction of AF development. It is strongly emphasized that among these variables, MHR, may be the best independent variable that can be used to predict AF.

The Use of Biometric Technology for Effective Personnel Management System in Organization
Authors: Unal C , Tecim V 
Published: September 2023

Although the concept of attendance systems has been carried over the years, in recent times the forms of its application has changed. Companies being aware of the importance of personnel attendance to overcome the problems raised from manual attendance systems have started to take advantage of biometric systems. Particularly, fingerprint and facial recognition are the two most used forms for biometric identification, since it is considered as the most reliable and secure method in terms of its uniqueness. Because manual attendance systems are timeconsuming and ineffective, companies review their control mechanisms for personnel attendance to integrate new technologies in their operations. This article proposes a new generation technological structure used to get effective results in personnel attendance systems. There are plenty of personnel attendance control systems in the market both for multinational companies or small companies. However, the number of web-based form of these systems is limited. Web-based personnel attendance control systems is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing technologies that enables instant data flow and reporting. According to the literature reviewed, more and more companies in Turkey have benefited over the time from web-based personnel attendance control systems. Nevertheless, there are not enough researches about it. The aim of this article is to design and implement a web-based attendance system for personnel in an organization by using biometric system (fingerprints and facial recognition combining with RFID card and password authentication) and support managers to make effective and efficient decision-making process. The proposed system has been implemented by following the steps of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). In the process of software development, a waterfall model was chosen that was used in many software projects and that composed of analysis, design, coding, test, version and maintenance phases. Since it is a linear sequential, progress is seen as flowing steadily downward (like a waterfall) through the phases of software implementation. Even though the waterfall approach is the earliest approach, it is still most widely known for software development. This research is expected to help managers in educational institutions in terms of effective personnel management, especially for institutions that have large number of employees. In addition, the developed system can also help educational institutions for adopting their personnel attendance system to new technologies. It was also known that private organizations use this kind of systems. However, educational institutions can also take advantage of biometric data in the web-based personnel management system.

Authors: Banica L , Polychronidou P , Radulescu M , Stefan C 
Published: September 2023

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the new digital revolution for the near-future society, the second after the creation of the Internet itself. The software industry is converging towards the large-scale deployment of IoT devices and services, and there’s broad support from the business environment for this engineering vision. The Development and Operations (DevOps) project management methodology, with continuous delivery and integration, is the preferred approach for achieving and deploying applications to all levels of the IoT architecture. In this paper we also discuss the promising trend of associating devices with microservices, which are further encapsulated into functional packages called containers. Docker is considered the market leader in container-based service delivery, though other important software companies are promoting this concept as part of the technology solution for their IoT customers. In the experimental section we propose a three-layer IoT model, business-oriented, and distributed over multiple cloud environments, comprising the Physical, Fog/Edge, and Application layers.

Morphological and Molecular Identification of Novel Green Peach Aphids (Myzus persicae) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and Their Microbiome Diversity in Taif Governorate
Authors: Sharawi Somia E. 
Published: September 2023

Background: The green aphid (Myzus persicae) found in Taif Governorate is a sap-sucking insect that occurs globally. These insects target all the plant parts in both their nymphal and adult stages, causing them to discolour and dry out. Methods: In this study, 250-300 aphids were widely collected from rose plants in different locations in the Taif Governorate. These insects were identified using morphological traits and mitochondrial gene sequencing. Result: According to morphological traits, these samples belonged to the species Myzus persicae. Considering that aphid species are very similar morphologically, the identification of samples that were similar to more than one species was performed using their genetic characteristics. Aphid strain characterization through Sanger sequencing with multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and phylogenetic analysis revealed significant diversity, and comparing mitochondrial gene sequences of aphids with extant sequences in GenBank showed high similarity and a new strains was recorded in the NCBI database for the first time in Taif Governorate. For microbiome isolation, five bacterial species were isolated from M. persicae (Bacillus spp., Serratia spp., Staphylococcus, Micrococcus spp. and Escherichia coli). Our results showed a significant correlation between M. persicae and microbial communities. Future research should focus on discovering new strains of M. persicae and understanding the eco-evolutionary patterns of aphid-symbiont interactions in the Taif Governorate, particularly in biological control.
