Published: April 2023

Background We compared the effectiveness of optional split-dose bowel preparation (SDBP) with mandatory SDBP for morning colonoscopies in usual clinical practice.
Methods Adult patients undergoing outpatient early morning (8:00 AM–10:30 PM) and late morning (10:30 AM–12:00 PM) colonoscopies were included. Written bowel preparation instructions were provided based on randomization: one group were instructed to take their bowel preparation (4 L polyethylene glycol solution) as a split dose (mandatory), while the comparator group was allowed the choice of SDBP or single-dose bowel preparation administered entirely on the day before (optional). The primary end point, using noninferiority hypothesis testing with a 5 % margin, was adequate bowel cleanliness measured by the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) and defined by a BBPS score ≥ 6.
Results Among 770 randomized patients with complete data, there were 267 mandatory SDBP and 265 optional SDBP patients for early morning colonoscopies, and 120 mandatory SDBP and 118 optional SDBP patients for late morning colonoscopies. Optional SDBP was inferior to mandatory SDBP, with a lower proportion of adequate BBPS cleanliness for early morning colonoscopies (78.9 % vs. 89.9 %; absolute risk difference [aRD] 11.0 %, 95 %CI 5.9 % to 16.1 %), but was not statistically different for late morning colonoscopies (76.3 % vs. 83.3 %; aRD 7.1 %, 95 %CI −1.5 % to 15.5 %).
Conclusions Optional SDBP is inferior to mandatory SDBP in providing adequate bowel preparation quality for early morning colonoscopies (8:00 AM–10:30 AM), and probably inferior for late morning colonoscopies (10:30 AM–12:00 PM).

Published: April 2023

AbstractThis study aims to reduce ambiguity in theoretical and empirical underpinning by synthesizing various knowledge concepts through a systematic review of barriers and interventions to promote the financial inclusion of women. The surrounding literature is vast, complex, and difficult to comprehend, necessitating frequent reviews. However, due to the sheer size of the literature, such reviews are generally fragmented focusing only on the factors causing the financial exclusion of women while ignoring the interventions that have been discussed all along. Filling up this gap, this study attempts to provide a bird’s-view to systematically connect all the factors as well as mediations found in past studies with the present and future. PRISMA approach has been used to explain various inclusions and exclusions extracted from Scopus & WOS databases with the backward and forward searches of important studies. Collaborative peer review selection with a qualitative synthesis of results is used to explain various barriers and interventions in financial inclusion that affected women’s empowerment in the period 2000–2020. Out of 1740 records identified, 67 studies are found eligible based on systematic screening for detailed investigation. This study has identified patriarchy structures, psychological factors, low income/wages, low financial literacy, low financial accessibility and ethnicity as six prominent barriers and government & corporate programs/policies, microfinance, formal saving accounts & services, cash & asset transfer, self-help groups, and digital inclusion as six leading interventions to summarize the literature and highlight its gaps.

We have grown high-crystallinity InGaN layers on ScAlMgO4 (SAM) substrates using metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. We have prepared atomically flat SAM substrates by cleaving them along the c-plane and have utilized direct InGaN growth without any low-temperature buffer layer. The resulting InGaN layer has a distinct hexagonal hillock morphology and remarkable crystalline quality. The x-ray rocking curve measurements showed that (0002̄) and (10–1–2) peaks full widths at half-maximum are as good as 384 and 481 arcsec, respectively. The calculated threading dislocations densities are as low as 2.9 × 108 and 1.6 × 109 cm−2 in the case of screw-type and edge-type dislocations, respectively.
Temperature correction method for dielectric response of high moisture content and aging degree oil impregnated paper based on segmented activation energy

Published: April 2023

Frequency Domain Spectroscopy (FDS) is widely used to estimate oil–paper insulation. The high moisture and long aging change the FDS characteristics of the insulating oil–paper, so normalization processing is required. Still, the choice of single activation energy needs further research. This paper studies the FDS characteristic of oil–paper insulation samples with different moisture and aging degrees and improves the traditional temperature correction method. The enhanced Arrhenius model uses the segmented activation energy to make the normalized FDS curve coincide better with the target curve, and the error is reduced. In addition, to verify the method’s effectiveness, this paper proposes an iterative correction process. It corrects the tan δ-f curve of the bushing with an aging time of 800 h based on segmented activation energy, and the overall normalization effect is improved.
Magnetic dipole and quadrupole transitions in the ν2 + ν3 vibrational band of carbon dioxide
Authors: Chistikov Daniil N. 
Published: April 2023

This paper aims at the theoretical study of the CO2 magnetic-dipole ν2 + ν3 rovibrational absorption band that was recently detected in the Martian atmosphere. Specific characteristics of the magnetic dipole operator are carefully examined. Our evaluation of the magnetic-dipole line intensities is based on the variational calculations and the use of molecular properties is determined through specially performed ab initio quantum chemical calculations. The comparison of our simulated magnetic-dipole spectrum with available laboratory taken data also requires the knowledge of line intensities in the quadrupole band, which partially overlaps with that magnetic-dipole. Quadrupole intensities, once reconsidered, are permitted to correct previously reported values of the integrated intensity as well as the intensity of selected branches. The sum of our calculated magnetic-dipole and quadrupole rovibrational lines is shown to be in good agreement with both sets of presently available data from FTIR and OFCEAS laboratory observations.
Flowering responses of serradella (Ornithopus spp.) and subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) to vernalisation and photoperiod and their role in maturity type determination and flowering date stability

Published: April 2023

Context Serradellas (Ornithopus spp.) are promising alternative annual legumes to subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.), for permanent, temperate pastures. However, many cultivars exhibit unstable flowering dates across years. This is a risk for seed production and persistence. Aim This study assessed how vernalisation and photoperiod cues determine maturity type and flowering date stability among serradella cultivars. Methods First flower appearance was recorded for early and late maturing cultivars of yellow serradella (Ornithopus compressus L.), French serradella (Ornithopus sativus Brot.) and subterranean clover after exposure to six vernalisation treatments (0, 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 weeks at 5°C) with subsequent growth under four photoperiods (8, 12, 16 or 20 h). Key results ‘Intrinsic earliness’ differed by only zero to three nodes for cultivars within species, indicating that maturity type was determined primarily by a cultivar’s responses to vernalisation and photoperiod. An interaction between these responses was observed, with a precipitous decline in the requirement for vernalisation when photoperiods exceeded 12 h. Many cultivars also displayed a persistent component to their vernalisation response, whereby long photoperiods (20 h) did not completely negate the response to vernalisation. Conclusions Later maturity was associated particularly with need for long exposure to the vernalisation treatment to minimise the duration from sowing to first flower appearance. Stable flowering is more likely when a cultivar has components of its vernalisation requirement that are not satisfied before autumn ends to prevent premature flowering, and a photoperiod response in spring that overrides any unmet vernalisation requirement. Implications Persistence by serradella cultivars requires selection for suitable responsiveness to vernalisation and photoperiod.
Positivity in the English language learning classroom
Authors: Diert-Boté Irati 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Positive Psychology was introduced in Second Language Acquisition research in order to explore how positivity can
be experienced in the classroom so that learners can flourish in their language learning processes even in averse circumstances
(see MacIntyre & Gregersen, 2012). Drawing on theories from Positive Psychology
(Fredrickson, 2001, 2013), this study
explores moments of positive contact between teacher and students (see Korthagen et al.,
2014) via (1) students’ self-reported accounts of their experiences in English learning contexts through four
interviews and three focus groups; and (2) observable classroom practices through audio/video recordings of six class sessions.
Findings reveal that positive emotion, which is co-constructed by both teacher and student(s) in in-situ interaction, seems to
benefit the learner at multiple levels (emotionally, behaviorally, motivationally and cognitively), to contribute to creating
rapport between them, and to help fulfill various foreign language learning-related goals.
Host immune response factors associated withStaphylococcus aureuschronic intramammary infections
Authors: Calvinho Luis F. , Dallard Bibiana E. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractStaphylococcus aureusis one of the main causes of mastitis in dairy cows worldwide. The most common form of the disease is characterized by chronic subclinical infection with sporadic clinical episodes that can persist throughout the life of the animal. Once infection evolves to chronicity, the bacteriological cure rate following classic antibiotic therapy is low and persistently infected cows become the main reservoir of the organism in a dairy herd. The establishment and persistence ofS. aureusintramammary infection (IMI) has been associated with certain characteristics of the pathogen that induce an impaired immune response unable to eliminate the pathogen. In a related review, the most relevant pathogen factors associated with the establishment and chronicity ofS. aureusIMI were covered. This review summarizes current knowledge about the most relevant components of the host’s innate and adaptive immune response that are associated with the establishment and chronicity ofS. aureusIMI. A better understanding of these factors will allow the development of intervention strategies aimed at improving different aspects of the control of this disease, including diagnostic methods, therapeutics and modulation of the host immune response.
Localized ensemble Kalman inversion
Authors: Tong X T , Morzfeld M 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Ensemble Kalman inversion (EKI) is an adaption of the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) for the numerical solution of inverse problems. Both EKI and EnKF suffer from the ‘subspace property’, i.e. the EKI and EnKF solutions are linear combinations of the initial ensembles. The subspace property implies that the ensemble size should be larger than the problem dimension to ensure EKI’s convergence to the correct solution. This scaling of ensemble size is impractical and prevents the use of EKI in high-dimensional problems. ‘Localization’ has been used for many years in EnKF to break the subspace property in a way that a localized EnKF can solve high-dimensional problems with a modest ensemble size, independently of the number of unknowns. Here, we study localization of the EKI and demonstrate how a localized EKI (LEKI) can solve high-dimensional inverse problems with a modest ensemble size. Our analysis is mathematically rigorous and applies to the continuous time limit of the EKI. Specifically, we can prove an intended ensemble collapse and convergence guarantees with an ensemble size that is less than the number of unknowns, which sets this work apart from the current state-of-the-art. We illustrate our theory with numerical experiments where some of our mathematical assumptions may only be approximately valid.
Challenges for fluoride superionic conductors: fundamentals, design, and applications
Authors: Takami Tsuyoshi , Pattanathummasid Chanachai , Kutana Alex , Asahi Ryoji 
Published: April 2023

AbstractElectronics, which harnesses the properties of electrons, has made remarkable progress since its inception and is a cornerstone of modern society. Ionics, which exploits the properties of ions, has also had a profound impact, as demonstrated by the award of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2019 for achievements related to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Ionic conduction in solids is the flow of carrier ions through a solid owing to an electrical or chemical bias. Some ionic materials have been studied intensively because their ionic conductivities are higher than those of liquids, even though they are solids. Among various conductive species, fluoride ions are the most promising charge carriers for fluoride-ion batteries (FIBs) as post LIBs. Increasing fluoride-ion conductivity toward the superionic conductive region at room temperature would be a breakthrough for the room-temperature operation of all-solid-state FIBs. This review focuses on fluoride-ion conductors, from the general concept of ions to the characteristics of fluoride ions. Fluoride-ion conductors are classified according to material type and form, and our current understanding, identification of problems, and future directions are discussed from experimental and theoretical physics perspectives.

Authors: Kole Arup Kanti , Karmakar Srikanta , Pramanik Ashim , Kumbhakar Pathik 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Piezoelectric materials have drawn significant attention from researchers in the recent past as the piezo-potential, induced by applied external stress, generates an electric field, which paves the way for the creation and transfer of electrons and holes. After the theoretical prediction of the existence of the piezoelectric effect in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) semiconductors, intense research efforts have been made by various researchers to demonstrate the effect experimentally. In addition 2D TMDCs exhibit layer-dependent tunable electronic structure, strongly bound excitons, enhanced catalytic activity at their edges, and novel spin/pseudospin degrees of freedom. The edge sites and activated basal planes of 2D TMDCs are shown to be highly active toward catalysis of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, as compared to electrocatalytic or even photocatalytic performances, TMDC materials exhibit poorer piezocatalytic activity, in general. Therefore, a numbers of research strategies have been made to intensify the piezoelectric effect by synthesizing different types of TMDC nanostructures, by coupling the piezoelectric effect with the photocatalytic effect, by doping with other materials, etc. This review discusses various techniques of synthesis of TMDCs nanostructures and the recent progresses in applications of TMDC nanomaterials in piezocatalysis. In the present article, the piezocatalytic dye degradation performances and HER activity using different TMDCs have been reviewed in detail. Different methods of increasing the piezocatalytic activity of various TMDCs nanostructures have been illustrated. Here, it has also been attempted to systematically summarize and provide an outlook of the charge transfer behaviour and catalytic mechanisms in large varieties of TMDC piezocatalysts and piezo-photocatalysts. In addition, advanced applications of TMDC piezocatalytic materials as piezoelectric nanogenerator, piezocatalytic dye degradation, piezo−phototronic dye degradation and HER studies have been highlighted.

Abstract
In this research, via embedding the plasmonic metallic nanostructure of dome shape Ag coated with MoO3 in the active layer of a hybrid Si solar cell, the device efficiency significantly improved. The effect of Ag nanostructures shape and metal oxide coated material implanted in Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene:Poly (styrenesulfonate)/c-Si (PEDOT:PSS) as an active layer of hybrid solar cells (HSC) on improvements of photocurrent was extensively investigated. HSC with an Ag nanodome shape and MoO3 shell showed an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.88 V, an electrical short circuit current density (Jsc) of 38.42 mA cm−2, and a fill factor (FF) of 0.82. The energy conversion efficiency was considerably increased from 15.60% for HSC solar cells having nanopyramid Ag with SiO2 shell to 28.02% for nanodome Ag with MoO3 shell. The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomenon, photogenerated charge recombination, and incident photon scattering and absorption behavior all contribute to this improvement.
High performance extra-ordinary optical transmission based self-referenced plasmonic metagrating sensor in the NIR communication band
Authors: Verma Sagar Kumar , Srivastava Sachin Kumar 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Simulation of an extra-ordinary optical transmission based self-referenced, flexible plasmonic metagrating has been reported. The metagrating was optimized to work as a refractive index (RI) sensor with high figure of merit (FOM) for near infra-red (NIR) communication band. The metagrating consists of two metal nanoslit arrays (MNSAs) in a manner that the open portion (groove) of the upper MNSA overlaps with the closed portion (pit) of the lower MNSA and vice versa. The metagrating structure was optimized to support dual plasmonic modes; one of them being sensing mode and the other, self-referenced. Transmission efficiency of 57%, the sensitivity of 1147 nm RIU−1, and FOM of 271/RIU were achieved for the analyte RI range 1.30–1.38. This design of metagrating possesses a stronger coupling of electromagnetic (EM) fields between the constituent MNSAs, which results in higher (almost double) transmission efficiency and FOM as compared to trivial MNSAs. Control simulations were performed to understand the role of various parameters on self-referencing operation, to evaluate the fabrication tolerances, and to estimate the performance at various ambient temperatures. The present study will be useful in development of flexible, low-cost, yet performance-enhanced metagrating sensors, which could easily be integrated on the tip of optical fibers working in the NIR communication window.

Abstract
In this work, the structural, optical, ligand field, and antibacterial properties of Cr2O3, ZnO and Na2O borosilicate glasses were studied. A glass system of the compositions 70B2O3−14.8 SiO2-(15-x)Na2O-0.2Cr2O3-xZnO, where x = 0, 3, 5 and 7 mol% was prepared via melt-quenching technique. In this study, X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra were used to check the amorphous state of the prepared glass specimens. Infrared (IR) spectra were used to study the internal structure of the formed units and groups within the glass matrix. Moreover, the optical absorbance spectra were used to study the optical parameters, such as optical band gap and ligand field parameters. Furthermore, the antibacterial activities of the glass samples were investigated against different antibiofilm activities, for example, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The optical studies showed that Eg values increased from 3.06 to 3.62 with further ZnO doping. Furthermore,

Dq

values increased and B values decreased with the increase in ZnO content. The 10Dq increased values reflect the increased interactions between the Cr3+ cations and their environments, such as oxygen anions. Further, the decreased values of B refer to the tendency of the bonds of Cr3+ cations and their environments toward the covalent nature. On the other hand, the results showed that the investigated glasses are promising materials owing to high antibacterial activity on a large scale (food covering, wound curing, and surface coatings), especially the glass sample that contains the highest concentrations of ZnO. Furthermore, it demonstrated antioxidant activity using DPPH and H2O2 free radical scavenging activities.

Abstract
Simulation-Based Inference of Galaxies (SimBIG) is a forward modeling framework
for analyzing galaxy clustering using simulation-based inference.
In this work, we present the SimBIG forward model, which is designed to match the
observed SDSS-III BOSS CMASS galaxy sample.
The forward model is based on high-resolution Quijote
N-body simulations
and a flexible halo occupation model.
It includes full survey realism and models observational systematics such as
angular masking and fiber collisions.
We present the “mock challenge” for validating the accuracy of
posteriors inferred from SimBIG using a suite of 1,500 test
simulations constructed using forward models with a different N-body simulation,
halo finder, and halo occupation prescription.
As a demonstration of SimBIG, we analyze the power spectrum multipoles out
to k
max = 0.5 h/Mpc and infer the posterior of ΛCDM
cosmological and halo occupation parameters. Based on the mock challenge, we find that our constraints on Ω
m

and σ
8 are unbiased, but conservative. Hence, the mock challenge demonstrates that SimBIG provides a robust framework
for inferring cosmological parameters from galaxy clustering on non-linear scales
and a complete framework for handling observational systematics.
In subsequent work, we will use SimBIG to analyze summary statistics beyond
the power spectrum including the bispectrum, marked power spectrum, skew spectrum,
wavelet statistics, and field-level statistics.
