Published: July 2023

AbstractChina currently is the world's largest energy consumer and carbon dioxide emitter. How to effectively control carbon dioxide emissions and promote sustainable development is indispensable for achieving the “double carbon” goal, promoting comprehensive economic transformation and upgrading, and contributing to high‐quality economic development. There is no doubt that a large amount of financial resources need to be invested in the process of encouraging sustainable development. Therefore, what is the relationship among financial development, carbon dioxide emissions and sustainable development? Can financial development facilitate sustainable development? In order to answer these two key questions, this article uses entropy weight method, fixed effect model, and panel vector autoregressive (PVAR) model to deeply explore the static and dynamic relationship among financial development, carbon dioxide emissions and sustainable development with the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2005 to 2021. The research results show that financial development is conducive to forwarding sustainable development, and the negative impact of carbon dioxide emissions on sustainable development is also significant at present. That means financial development and carbon dioxide emissions have important impact on sustainable development. The further empirical results of PVAR model show that there are significant differences in the impact of financial development and carbon dioxide emissions on sustainable development in different periods of time. Therefore, the government should take timely measures according to the different roles played by financial development and carbon dioxide emissions at different stages to promote sustainable development.

AbstractHigh color purity blue quantum dot light‐emitting diodes (QLEDs) have great potential applications in the field of ultra‐high‐definition display. However, the realization of eco‐friendly pure‐blue QLEDs with a narrow emission linewidth for high color purity remains a significant challenge. Herein, a strategy for fabricating high color purity and efficient pure‐blue QLEDs based on ZnSeTe/ZnSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) is presented. It is found that by finely controlling the internal ZnSe shell thickness of the QDs, the emission linewidth can be narrowed by reducing the exciton‐longitudinal optical phonon coupling and trap states in the QDs. Additionally, the regulation of the QD shell thickness can suppress the Förster energy transfer between QDs in the QLED emission layer, which will help to reduce the emission linewidth of the device. As a result, the fabricated pure‐blue (452 nm) ZnSeTe QLED with ultra‐narrow electroluminescence linewidth (22 nm) exhibit high color purity with the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage chromatic coordinates of (0.148, 0.042) and considerable external quantum efficiency (18%). This work provides a demonstration of the preparation of pure‐blue eco‐friendly QLEDs with both high color purity and efficiency, and it is believed that it will accelerate the application process of eco‐friendly QLEDs in ultra‐high‐definition displays.

Published: July 2023

AbstractAluminum nanocrystals are emerging as a promising alternative to silver and gold for various applications ranging from plasmonic functionalities to photocatalysis and as energetic materials. Such nanocrystals often exhibit an inherent surface oxidation layer, as aluminum is highly reactive. Its controlled removal is challenging but required, as it can hinder the properties of the encaged metal. Herein, two wet‐chemical colloidal approaches toward the surface coating of Al nanocrystals, which afford control over the surface chemistry of the nanocrystals and the oxide thickness, are presented. The first approach utilizes oleic acid as a surface ligand by its addition toward the end of the Al nanocrystals synthesis, and the second approach is the post‐synthesis treatment of Al nanocrystals with NOBF4, in a “wet” colloidal‐based approach, which is found to etch and fluorinate the surface oxides. As surface chemistry is an important handle for controlling materials’ properties, this research paves a path for manipulating Al nanocrystals while promoting their utilization in diverse applications.

AbstractSolar‐driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) energy conversion holds great potential in converting solar energy into storable and transportable chemicals or fuels, providing a viable route toward a carbon‐neutral society. Conjugated polymers are rapidly emerging as a new class of materials for PEC water splitting. They exhibit many intriguing properties including tunable electronic structures through molecular engineering, excellent light harvesting capability with high absorption coefficients, and facile fabrication of large‐area thin films via solution processing. Recent advances have indicated that integrating rationally designed conjugated polymers with inorganic semiconductors is a promising strategy for fabricating efficient and stable hybrid photoelectrodes for high‐efficiency PEC water splitting. This review introduces the history of developing conjugated polymers for PEC water splitting. Notable examples of utilizing conjugated polymers to broaden the light absorption range, improve stability, and enhance the charge separation efficiency of hybrid photoelectrodes are highlighted. Furthermore, key challenges and future research opportunities for further improvements are also presented. This review provides an up‐to‐date overview of fabricating stable and high‐efficiency PEC devices by integrating conjugated polymers with state‐of‐the‐art semiconductors and would have significant implications for the broad solar‐to‐chemical energy conversion research.

Published: July 2023

AbstractRechargeable aqueous zinc–metal batteries (AZBs) are a promising complimentary technology to the existing lithium‐ion batteries and the re‐emerging lithium–metal batteries to satisfy the increasing demands on energy storage. Despite considerable progress achieved in the past years, the fundamental understanding of the solid‐electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation and how its composition influences the SEI properties are limited. This review highlights the functionalities of anion‐tuned SEI on the reversibility of zinc–metal anode, with a specific emphasis on new structural insights obtained through advanced characterizations and computational techniques. Recent efforts in terms of key variables that govern the interfacial behaviors to improve the long‐term stability of zinc anode, i.e., Coulombic efficiency, plating morphology, dendrite formation, and side‐reactions, are comprehensively reviewed. Lastly, the remaining challenges and future perspectives are presented, providing insights into the rational design of practical high‐performance AZBs.

Published: July 2023

AbstractRecently, aqueous Zn‐based batteries (AZBs) are receiving increased attention in wearable and implantable electronics due to the low cost, high safety, high eco‐efficiency, and relatively high energy density. However, it is still a big challenge to develop stretchable AZBs (SAZBs) which can be conformally folded, crumpled, and stretched with human body motions. Although a lot of efforts have been dedicated to constructions of SAZBs, a comprehensive review which focuses on summarizing stretchable materials, device configurations and challenges of SAZBs is needed. Herein, this review attempts to critically review the latest developments and progress in stretchable electrodes, electrolytes, packaging materials and device configurations in detail. Furthermore, these challenges and potential future research directions in the field of SAZBs are also discussed.

AbstractObjectivePirarubicin (THP) is a widely used antitumor drug in clinical practice, but its cardiotoxicity limits its use. There is an urgent need to find drugs to alleviate the cardiotoxicity of THP. This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of miR‐494‐3p on THP‐induced cardiomyocytes.MethodsTHP induced immortalized mouse cardiomyocytes HL‐1, silenced or overexpressed miR‐494‐3p. The effects of miR‐494‐3p on HL‐1 contained in THP were investigated by CCK8, flow cytometry, ROS detection, JC‐1 mitochondrial membrane potential detection, TUNEL cell apoptosis detection, RT‐qPCR, and Western blot.ResultsmiR‐494‐3p could reduce cell viability, increase oxidative damage, and promote cell apoptosis; at the same time, it inhibited the expression of MDM4, promoted the activation of p53, and promoted the expression of apoptosis‐related proteins. MiR‐494‐3p inhibitors have the opposite effect.ConclusionmiR‐494‐3p can aggravate THP damage to HL‐1, which may be achieved by downregulating MDM4 and promoting p53. miR‐494‐3p is one of the important miRNAs in THP‐induced cardiotoxicity, which provides theoretical support for its possible use as a therapeutic target for THP‐induced cardiovascular disease.

AbstractObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to identify existing literature on recurrent atypical mycobacterial cervicofacial lymphadenitis to augment our understanding of a unique patient who presented to our tertiary‐care center 5‐years posttreatment with recurrence following curettage.Data SourcesOVID Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science.MethodsA literature search was conducted yielding 49 original articles which were screened twice by two independent reviewers resulting in 14 studies meeting inclusion criteria for data extraction using Covidence software. Two independent reviewers extracted data on recurrence of atypical mycobacterial cervicofacial lymphadenitis and consensus was reached on data points from all included studies.ResultsThis study illuminated the paucity of recurrence reporting in the literature regarding atypical mycobacterial lymphadenitis. Sixteen studies identified in our review included discussions on recurrence with few elaborating beyond the rate of recurrence to describe their management. Fourteen out of sixteen studies provided recurrence rates for their cohort, 11 out of 14 specified the initial treatment modality, and only five out of eight studies that described initial treatment with surgery differentiated recurrence rates between complete and incomplete excision. The mean length of follow‐up in the included studies was 20 months. There was one previously reported case of late recurrence at 5‐years.ConclusionsWe identified few reports that discussed the management of recurrence of atypical mycobacterial cervicofacial lymphadenitis. There was minimal data on recurrence rates between surgical treatment modalities. The case discussed in our study showcases that treatment with curettage has the potential to present with late recurrence.

AbstractYoung water professionals (YWPs) have a critical role in ensuring how water resources will be managed to contribute towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. To address the challenges of climate change, population growth, and urbanization, YWPs require leadership skills, transdisciplinary competencies, technical knowledge, and practical experience. This article presents the India YWP training program, led by Western Sydney University and the Australia India Water Centre (AIWC), aimed at developing a cohort of skilled YWPs and nurturing the next generation of water leaders in support of India's water reform agenda and the National Water Mission. The program engaged 20 YWPs, consisting of an equal gender representation, selected by the Ministry of Jal Shakti from various water management agencies and departments across India. The 11‐month training program was designed to be transformative and interactive, and it used an online platform comprising online lectures, mentoring, and project‐based learning facilitated by the AIWC team. The training methodology focused on engaged learning, incorporating online workshops, Situation Understanding and Improvement Projects (SUIPs), online group discussions, and mentoring. The SUIPs provided a platform for YWPs to work in pairs, receiving guidance from AIWC members, enabling them to develop practical skills and knowledge in real‐world contexts. The program effectively enhanced participants' capacities in project planning, design, implementation, and management, while fostering critical thinking and problem‐solving skills by adopting transdisciplinary approaches. Furthermore, participants demonstrated improved leadership, project management, time management, and communication skills. The training helped YWPs to equip them with a holistic perspective and stakeholder‐focused mindset to address diverse water challenges from a holistic and long‐term standpoint.
A study of magnetohydrodynamic flow on a channel with induced magnetic field, Soret effect and heat radiation
Authors: Das Utpal Jyoti , Majumdar Nayan Mani 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe current study focuses on the magnetohydrodynamic flow of fluids through two vertical, insulated walls. The influences of Newtonian heating/cooling, induced magnetic field (IMF), the Soret effect, radiative heat flux, and first‐order chemical reaction are considered. By solving the set of non‐dimensional linked governing equations, we were able to determine the expressions for the velocity, temperature, concentration, and IMF. The equations for Nusselt number, induced current density, and skin friction were also obtained. The graph displays the effects of several parameters on velocity, temperature, concentration, IMF, and induced current density (ICD). Additionally, a tabular analysis is done to see how these non‐dimensional parameters affect Nusselt number and skin frictions. It is seen that the Grashof number and Soret number improve the fluid velocity and skin friction whereas the chemical reaction parameter and Schmidt number reduces skin friction.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe increasing prevalence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in safety-critical contexts such as air-traffic control leads to systems that are practical and efficient, and to some extent explainable to humans to be trusted and accepted. The present structured literature analysis examines $$n = 236$$ articles on the requirements for the explainability and acceptance of AI. Results include a comprehensive review of $$n = 48$$ articles on information people need to perceive an AI as explainable, the information needed to accept an AI, and representation and interaction methods promoting trust in an AI. Results indicate that the two main groups of users are developers who require information about the internal operations of the model and end users who require information about AI results or behavior. Users’ information needs vary in specificity, complexity, and urgency and must consider context, domain knowledge, and the user’s cognitive resources. The acceptance of AI systems depends on information about the system’s functions and performance, privacy and ethical considerations, as well as goal-supporting information tailored to individual preferences and information to establish trust in the system. Information about the system’s limitations and potential failures can increase acceptance and trust. Trusted interaction methods are human-like, including natural language, speech, text, and visual representations such as graphs, charts, and animations. Our results have significant implications for future human-centric AI systems being developed. Thus, they are suitable as input for further application-specific investigations of user needs.
Interactions Afforded by Mobile Telepresence Robots in Health Care Settings
Authors: Rojas Alejandra , Nørskov Sladjana 
Published: July 2023

AbstractMobile telepresence robots (MTRs) allow communication and mobility to interact from a distant location. In health care settings, these robots are used to enhance interactions between physicians, patients, and family members. MTRs can thus be effective in improving quality and efficiency in health care; however, the interactions that MTRs afford need to be studied to address issues related to their design, development, and implementation in line with the physical affordance space by looking not only at the features but also at the relationships they create. Therefore, this study aims to identify the types of interactions offered by two different types of MTRs in health care settings, the relevance of each interaction depending on the type of health care setting, and the perceived differences between the two MTRs. Empirical data were collected in Spain, in two hospitals, a nursing home and with professionals from private clinics. With a qualitative approach, the main data source were 25 semi-structured interviews with informants that used CLARC and GoBe tests in situ and video recorded as stimulus. Additionally, observations, two focus groups and archival data were collected. Findings show two types of interactions: displacement and simultaneity. Furthermore, perceived differences related to the appearance of the two MTRs result in different evoked feelings that are either appropriate or inappropriate depending on the type of patient. This study improves the understanding of how to design, develop, and implement MTRs in health care settings by expanding knowledge on the proper fit between type of interaction and setting.
Symmetry-resolved modular correlation functions in free fermionic theories
Authors: Di Giulio Giuseppe , Erdmenger Johanna 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
As a new ingredient for analyzing the fine structure of entanglement, we study the symmetry resolution of the modular flow of U(1)-invariant operators in theories endowed with a global U(1) symmetry. We provide a consistent definition of symmetry-resolved modular flow that is defined for a local algebra of operators associated to a sector with fixed charge. We also discuss the symmetry-resolved modular correlation functions and show that they satisfy the KMS condition in each symmetry sector. Our analysis relies on the factorization of the Hilbert space associated to spatial subsystems. We provide a toolkit for computing the symmetry-resolved modular correlation function of the charge density operator in free fermionic theories. As an application, we compute this correlation function for a 1 + 1-dimensional free massless Dirac field theory and find that it is independent of the charge sector at leading order in the ultraviolet cutoff expansion. This feature can be regarded as a charge equipartition of the modular correlation function. Although obtained for free fermions, these results may be of potential interest for bulk reconstruction in AdS/CFT.
Superradiance instabilities of charged black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory
Authors: Guo Guangzhou , Wang Peng , Wu Houwen , Yang Haitang 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
We study time evolutions of charged scalar perturbations on the background of a charged hairy black hole, in which the perturbations can be governed by a double-peak effective potential. By extracting quasinormal modes from the waveform of scalar perturbations, we discover that some quasinormal modes, which are trapped in a potential well between two potential peaks, can be superradiantly amplified. These superradiant modes make the hairy black hole unstable against charged scalar perturbations. Moreover, it is found that the superradiant modes arise from the competition between the superradiant amplification caused by tunneling through the outer potential barrier and the leakage of modes through the inner potential barrier into the black hole.
An Improvement of the Newton Method for Solving Symmetric Algebraic Riccati Equations
Authors: Hernández-Verón M. A. , Romero N. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn this work, we analyze a strategy for solving symmetric algebraic Riccati equation based on the use of efficient high-order iterative scheme. This iterative scheme is more efficient than Newton’s method. Then, we propose two iterative two-stage predictor–corrector schemes using an iterative scheme with good accessibility as the predictor iteration and a high-order iterative scheme as the corrector iteration. The iterative schemes constructed turn out to be competitive compared to the commonly used Newton’s method. The efficiency of these methods is illustrated by a numerical example.
