Reseña. Las ciudades del poder. Lo urbano, lo nacional, lo popular y lo global
Authors: Fernández-Serrano Andreu Blai 
Published: January 2023

Resumen: Göran Therborn propone un estudio sobra la política y los significados de los espacios urbanos. En un esfuerzo enciclopédico, el libro resume todo un viaje por las principales ciudades capitales del mundo con tal de explicar cómo el urbanismo de las grandes ciudades ha estado —y sigue estando de facto— interrelacionado con el poder político del estado-nación, así como de movimientos globales propios de la modernidad. En conjunto, el libro supone una radiografía generalista de la historia urbana que abarca desde finales de siglo XIX hasta principios del siglo XXI.

Palabras clave: modernidad, ciudad capital, estado-nación, globalización, urbanismo.

Published: January 2023

Aims: This study was done to identify personal characteristics of men that may be associated with partner abuse in order to provide a basis for offering counseling services, to prevent, as well as appropriately manage cases of existing abuse.
Study Design: Cross sectional survey.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was done at the General Outpatients Clinic of University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria; between August and November 2007.
Methodology: The examiner administered pre-tested questionnaire on adult females attending the clinic within the duration of the study. Every second patient seen by the investigator on the waiting line of a regular medical consultation visit that consented to the study was recruited until the desired sample size was got. Socio-demographic as well as drug use information of adult subjects’ partners aged between 18 to 59 years was obtained.
Results: Of the 384 females investigated, age 21 – 67 years with a mean age of 31.31±8.61 years: physical abuse 41.9%, verbal/emotional abuse 49.0%, and a combined (physical/verbal) abuse 29.9%. Partners’ education had statistically significant relationship with physical abuse, P=0.018; partners’ tobacco uses with verbal abuse (P=0.000), and between combined abuse and use of tobacco or cannabis, P=0.003 and 0.048 respectively.
Linear multiple regression model of physical abuse parameters: throw something at, being pushed, slapped, kicked, hit at, beaten-up, threatened or weapon used, and forced sex; P-value was 0.000, with sum of squares 60.263 and degree of freedom 9. Whereas for verbal abuse: cajoled, derogatory statements made at, name calling, and shout at, as abuse parameters; P-value was 0.000, sum of squares 72.763 and degree of freedom, 4. Both of these were statistically significant.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates a higher perpetration of verbal/emotional violence than that of physical violence (or both) by males on their partners with lack of formal education, with tobacco and/or cannabis use, as aggravating factors.

ImportancePatients with unmet health-related social needs are at high risk for preventable health care utilization. Prior interventions to identify health-related social needs and provide navigation services with community resources have not taken place in pharmacy settings.ObjectiveTo evaluate an enhancement of pharmacy care to reduce hospital admissions and emergency department (ED) visits among primary care patients in a Medicaid accountable care organization (ACO).Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis nonrandomized controlled trial was conducted from May 1, 2019, through March 4, 2021, with 1 year of follow-up. Study allocation was determined by odd or even medical record number. The study was performed at a general internal medicine practice at a large safety-net hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. Patients who qualified for the hospital’s pharmacy care program (aged 18-64 years and within the third to tenth percentile for health care utilization and cost among Medicaid ACO membership) who attended a visit with a primary care clinician were eligible. Of 770 eligible patients, 577 were approached, 127 declined, and 86 could not be contacted.InterventionsPatients in the control group received usual pharmacy care focused on medication adherence. Patients in the intervention group received enhanced pharmacy care with an additional focus on identification of and intervention for health-related social needs. The intervention took place for 1 year.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was inpatient hospital admissions and ED visits (composite outcome) in the 12 months after enrollment during the intervention period.ResultsAmong 364 allocated patients (mean [SD] age, 50.1 [10.1] years; 216 women [59.3%]), 35 were Hispanic of any race (9.6%) and 214 were non-Hispanic Black (58.8%). All participants were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. In analyses controlling for baseline hospital admissions and ED visits the year prior to enrollment, the enhanced pharmacy care group was not associated with the odds of having any hospital admission or ED visit (adjusted odds ratio, 0.62 [95% CI, 0.23-1.62];P = .32) among all patients and was not associated with the visit rates among those with any visit (adjusted rate ratio, 0.93 [95% CI, 0.71-1.22];P = .62) relative to the usual pharmacy care group in the year following enrollment.Conclusions and RelevanceThe findings of this nonrandomized controlled trial suggest that inpatient and ED utilization among Medicaid ACO members at a safety-net hospital was not significantly different between groups at 1-year follow-up.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT03919084

AbstractAntigens incorporated in subunit vaccines are typically poorly immunogenic, so a strong immunostimulant (adjuvant) and/or delivery system is required to boost immunogenicity. In this work, the various functional polymer nanostructures, that is, rods, worms, spheres, and tadpoles are used to develop potent peptide antigen delivery systems. The antigen PADRE‐J8 (PJ8), derived from Group A Streptococcus (GAS) M‐protein, is either physically mixed or chemically conjugated to polymeric nanoparticles of different shapes. The physical mixture of polymeric nanoparticles and antigen is more effective in inducing antibody production than their chemical conjugates. Moreover, rod‐shaped polymeric nanoparticles in physical mixture with PJ8 elicited higher and more opsonic antibody titers than powerful complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)‐adjuvanted antigen. Herein, for the first time it is demonstrated that a) the block copolymer, in nanoparticle form, can act as an immune adjuvant, b) nanoparticle shape plays a crucial role in their immunogenicity, and c) antigen conjugation is not required, nor is antigen encapsulation or absorption.

AbstractIt is a challenge to synthesize materials that possess biological tissue‐like properties: strain‐stiffening, robust yet compliant, sensitive, and water‐rich. Herein, a ferric ion‐induced salting out and coordination cross‐linking strategy is presented to create a hierarchical hydrogel network, including dipole–dipole interactions connected curved chains, acrylonitrile (AN)‐rich clusters, and homogeneous iron‐ligand interactions. The design allows the network to deform stress‐free under small strain by unfolding the curved segments with the elastic deformation of the AN‐rich clusters, and sequentially breaking the dipole–dipole interactions and iron‐ligand interactions from weak to strong ones under large strain. As a result, the hydrogel exhibits tissue‐like mechanical properties: low elastic modulus (0.06 MPa), high strength (1.4 MPa), high toughness (5.1 MJ m−3), intense strain‐stiffening capability (27.5 folds of stiffness enhancement), excellent self‐recovery ability and fatigue resistance. Moreover, the hydrogel exhibits high water content (≈84%), good biocompatibility and multi‐sensory capabilities to strain, pressure and hazardous chemicals stimuli. Therefore, this work offers a novel strategy to prepare hydrogel that can mimic the diverse functions of tissues, thereby expanding advanced applications of hydrogel in soft robotics, wearable devices, and biomedical engineering.

AbstractThe geometric multiplication development of MXene has promoted it to become a star material in numerous applications including, but not limited to, energy storage. It is found that pore structure modulation engineering can improve the inherent properties of MXene, in turn significantly enhancing its electrochemical performance. However, most of the current works have focused on exploring the structure‐effective relationships of the single‐scale pore structure regulation of MXene. Inspired by Murray's law from nature where a highly graded structure of the organisms is discovered and used to achieve effective diffusion and maximize mass transfer, a hierarchically interconnected porous MXene electrode across micro‐meso‐macroporous is constructed. This MXene‐based electrode provides large amounts of active sites while greatly shortening the ion diffusion channel. Finally, the zinc ion microcapacitor based on this MXene electrode exhibits an ultrahigh area‐specific capacitance up to 410 mF cm−2and an energy density up to 103 µWh cm−2at a power density of 2100 µW cm−2. The areal energy density outperforms the currently reported zinc ion microcapacitors. This study supports an effective strategy for electrode materials (including but not limited to MXene) to achieve ultra‐short ion diffusion channels and maximum transport efficiency for next‐generation high‐performance energy storage.

AbstractUnderstanding the stability limitations and defect formation mechanisms in 2D magnets is essential for their utilization in spintronic and memory technologies. Here, defects in mono‐ to multilayer CrSBr are correlated with structural, vibrational, and magnetic properties. Resonant Raman scattering is used to reveal distinct vibrational defect signatures. In pristine CrSBr, it is shown that bromine atoms mediate vibrational interlayer coupling, allowing for distinguishing between surface and bulk defect modes. Environmental exposure is shown to cause drastic degradation in monolayers, with the formation of intralayer defects. This is in contrast to multilayers that predominantly show bromine surface defects. Through deliberate ion irradiation, the formation of defect modes is tuned: these are strongly polarized and resonantly enhanced, reflecting the quasi‐‐1D electronic character of CrSBr. Strikingly, pronounced signatures of spin‐phonon coupling of the intrinsic phonon modes and the ion beam‐induced defect modes are observed throughout the magnetic transition temperature. Overall, defect engineering of magnetic properties is possible, with resonant Raman spectroscopy serving as a direct fingerprint of magnetic phases and defects in CrSBr.

AbstractCoupling urea oxidation reaction (UOR) with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is an effective energy‐saving technique for hydrogen generation. However, exploring efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts under high current density is still challenging. Herein, hierarchical Fe doped cobalt selenide coupled with FeCo layered double hydroxide (Fe‐Co0.85Se/FeCo LDH) array as a self‐supported superior bifunctional heterojunction electrode is rationally designed for both UOR and HER. The unique heterostructure facilitates electron transfer and interface interactions through local interfacial Co‐Se/O‐Fe bonding environment modulation, improving reaction kinetics and intrinsic activity. As a result, the heterostructured electrocatalyst exhibits ultralow potentials of −0.274 and 1.48 V to reach 500 mA cm−2 for catalyzing the HER and UOR, respectively. Particularly, the full urea electrolysis system driven by Fe‐Co0.85Se/FeCo LDH delivers 300 mA cm−2 at a relatively low potential of 1.57 V, which is 150 mV lower than the conventional water electrolysis. The combination of in situ characterization and theoretical analysis reveal that the active sites with the adjustable electronic environment are induced by the interfacial bonding of the heterojunction, facilitating the water decomposition of HER and the stabilization of intermediates in UOR. This work inspires the interfacial environment modulation to optimize advanced electrocatalysts for energy‐saving H2 production.

AbstractLayered transition metal oxide (NaxTMO2), being one of the most promising cathode candidates for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs), have attracted intensive interest because of their nontoxicity, high theoretical capacities, and easy manufacturability. However, their physical and electrochemical properties of water sensitivity, sluggish Na+ transport kinetics, and irreversible multiple‐phase translations hinder the practical application. Here, a concept of surface lattice‐matched engineering is proposed based on in situ spinel interfacial reconstruction to design a spinel coating P2/P3 heterostructure cathode material with enhanced air stability, rate, and cycle performance. The novel structure and its formation process are verified by transmission electron microscopy and in situ high‐temperature X‐ray diffraction. The electrode exhibits an excellent rate performance with the highly reversible phase transformation demonstrated by in situ charging/discharging X‐ray diffraction. Additionally, even after a rigorous water sensitivity test, the electrode materials still retain almost the same superior electrochemical performance as the fresh sample. The results show that the surface spinel phase can play a vital role in preventing the ingress of water molecules, improving transport kinetics, and enhancing structural integrity for NaxTMO2 cathodes. The concept of surface lattice‐matched engineering based on in situ spinel interfacial reconstruction will be helpful for designing new ultra‐stable cathode materials for high‐performance SIBs.

AbstractLiraglutide, a human glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) analog, is promising for safely treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), compared to insulin, by significantly reducing the risk of glucose‐dependent hypoglycemia. Concerns related to injection prevent T2DM patients from taking liraglutide regularly, even though once‐a‐day subcutaneous (SC) injections. Dissolving microneedles (DMNs) are promising substitutes for SC injection and for improving patient convenience. However, there are two fundamental limitations: the low drug delivery due to incomplete insertion and loss of drug activity during DMN fabrication. Here, it is shown that an egg microneedle (EMN) designed with three functional layered structures can maintain the maximum activity of the loaded compound during DMN fabrication and deliver it completely into the skin, with the base layer allowing the complete delivery of liraglutide, and the shell layer maintaining the drug activity by mimicking the role of albumin in eggs. In a diabetic mouse model, liraglutide administration via EMN exhibited similar effect when compared to that of injection. Therefore, EMN‐mediated liraglutide administration is a good potential option for replacing liraglutide injections in T2DM treatment.

AbstractThe collective oscillation of free electrons at the nanoscale surface of gold nanostructures is closely modulated by tuning the size, shape/morphology, phase, composition, hybridization, assembly, and nanopatterning, along with the surroundings of the plasmonic surface located at a dielectric interface with air, liquid, and solid. This review first introduces the physical origin of the intrinsic optical properties of gold nanostructures and further summarizes stimuli‐responsive changes in optical properties, metal‐field‐enhanced optical signals, luminescence spectral shaping, chiroptical response, and photogenerated hot carriers. The current success in the landscape of nanoscience and nanotechnology mainly originates from the abundant optical properties of gold nanostructures in the thermodynamically stable face‐centered cubic (fcc) phase. It has been further extended by crystal phase engineering to prepare thermodynamically unfavorable phases (e.g., kinetically stable) and heterophases to modulate their intriguing phase‐dependent optical properties. A broad range of promising applications, including but not limited to full‐color displays, solar energy harvesting, photochemical reactions, optical sensing, and microscopic/biomedical imaging, have fostered parallel research on the multitude of physical effects occurring in gold nanostructures.

AbstractRoom‐temperature interaction between light–matter hybrid particles such as exciton–polaritons under extremely low‐pump plays a crucial role in future coherent quantum light sources. However, the practical and scalable realization of coherent quantum light sources operating under low‐pump remains a challenge because of the insufficient polariton interaction strength. Here, at room temperature, a very large polariton interaction strength is demonstrated, g ≈ 128 ± 21 µeV µm2 realized in a 2D nanolayered metal–organic framework (MOF). As a result, a polariton lasing at an extremely low pump fluence of P1 ≈ 0.01 ± 0.0015 µJ cm−2 (first threshold) is observed. Interestingly, as pump fluence increases to P2 ≈ 0.031 ± 0.003 µJ cm−2 (second threshold), a spontaneous transition to a polariton breakdown region occurs, which has not been reported before. Finally, an ordinary photon lasing occurs at P3 ≈ 0.11 ± 0.077 µJ cm−2 (third threshold), or above. These experiments and the theoretical model reveal new insights into the transition mechanisms characterized by three distinct optical regions. This work introduces MOF as a new type of quantum material, with naturally formed polariton cavities, that is a cost‐effective and scalable solution to build microscale coherent quantum light sources and polaritonic devices.

AbstractHydrogels are ideal building blocks to fabricate the next generation of electrodes for acquiring high‐quality physiological electrical signals, for example, electroencephalography (EEG). However, collection of EEG signals still suffers from electrode deformation, sweating, extensive body motion and vibration, and environmental interference. Herein, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone are selected to prepare a hydrogel network with tissue‐like modulus and excellent flexibility. Additionally, polydopamine nanoparticles, obtained by polydopamine peroxidation, are integrated into the hydrogel to endow them with higher transparency, higher self‐adhesion, and lower impedance. Consequently, a multichannel and wirelessly operated hydrogel electrode can establish a conformal and stable interface with tissue and illustrate high channel uniformity, low interfacial contact impedance, low power noise, long‐term stability, and a tolerance to sweat and motion. Furthermore, the hydrogel electrode shows the unprecedented ability to classify the recorded high‐quality prefrontal EEG signals into seven‐category sustained attention with high accuracy (91.5%), having great potential applications in the assessment of human consciousness and in multifunctional diagnoses.

AbstractCesium lead triiodide (CsPbI3) is a promising light‐absorbing material for constructing perovskite solar cells (PSCs) owing to its favorable bandgap and thermal tolerance. However, the high density of defects in the CsPbI3 film not only act as recombination centers, but also facilitate ion migration, leading to lower PCE and inferior stability compared with the state‐of‐the‐art organic–inorganic hybrid PSC counterpart. Theoretical analyses suggest that the effective suppression of defects in CsPbI3 film is helpful for improving the device performance. Herein, the stable and efficient γ ‐CsPbI3 PSCs are demonstrated by developing an acyloin ligand (1,2‐di(thiophen‐2‐yl)ethane‐1,2‐dione (DED)) as a phase stabilizer and defect passivator. The experiment and calculation results confirm that carbonyl and thienyl in DED can synergistically interact with CsPbI3 by forming a chelate to effectively passivate Pb‐related defects and further suppress ion migration. Consequently, DED‐treated CsPbI3 PSCs yield a champion PCE of 21.15%, which is one of the highest PCE among all the reported CsPbI3 PSCs to date. In addition, the unencapsulated DED‐CsPbI3 PSC can retain 94.9% of itsinitial PCE when stored under ambient conditions for 1000 h and 92.8% of its initial PCE under constant illumination for 250 h.
