Published: November 2022

AbstractThe powerful and rapid development of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) in secondary batteries field makes lithium resources in short supply, leading to rising battery costs. Under the circumstances, sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) with low cost, inexhaustible sodium reserves, and analogous work principle to LIBs, have evolved as one of the most anticipated candidates for large‐scale energy storage devices. Thereinto, the applicable electrode is a core element for the smooth development of SIBs. Among various anode materials, metal selenides (MSex) with relatively high theoretical capacity and unique structures have aroused extensive interest. Regrettably, MSex suffers from large volume expansion and unwished side reactions, which result in poor electrochemistry performance. Thus, strategies such as carbon modification, structural design, voltage control as well as electrolyte and binder optimization are adopted to alleviate these issues. In this review, the synthesis methods and main reaction mechanisms of MSex are systematically summarized. Meanwhile, the major challenges of MSex and the corresponding available strategies are proposed. Furthermore, the recent research progress on layered and nonlayered MSex for application in SIBs is presented and discussed in detail. Finally, the future development focuses of MSex in the field of rechargeable ion batteries are highlighted.

Published: November 2022

AbstractTransient batteries are expected to lessen the inherent environmental impact of traditional batteries that rely on toxic and critical raw materials. This work presents the bottom‐up design of a fully transient Zn‐ion battery (ZIB) made of nontoxic and earth‐abundant elements, including a novel hydrogel electrolyte prepared by cross‐linking agarose and carboxymethyl cellulose. Facilitated by a high ionic conductivity and a high positive zinc‐ion species transference number, the optimized hydrogel electrolyte enables stable cycling of the Zn anode with a lifespan extending over 8500 h for 0.25 mA cm−2 – 0.25 mAh cm−2. On pairing with a biocompatible organic polydopamine‐based cathode, the full cell ZIB delivers a capacity of 196 mAh g−1 after 1000 cycles at a current density of 0.5 A g−1 and a capacity of 110 mAh g−1 after 10 000 cycles at a current density of 1 A g−1. A transient ZIB with a biodegradable agarose casing displays an open circuit voltage of 1.123 V and provides a specific capacity of 157 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles at a current density of 50 mA g−1. After completing its service life, the battery can disintegrate under composting conditions.

Published: November 2022

AbstractAnisotropically hybridized porous crystalline Li‐S battery separators based on porous crystalline materials that can meet the multiple functionalities of both anodic and cathodic sides are much desired for Li‐S battery yet still challenging in directional design. Here, an anisotropically hybridized separator (CPM) based on an ionic liquid‐modified porphyrin‐based covalent‐organic framework (COF‐366‐OH‐IL) and catalytically active metal‐organic framework (Ni3(HITP)2) that can integrate the lithium‐polysulfides (LiPSs) adsorption/catalytic conversion and ion‐conduction sites together to directionally meet the requirements of electrodes is reported. Remarkably, the‐obtained separator exhibits an exceptional high Li+ transference‐number (tLi+ = 0.8), ultralow polarization‐voltage (<30 mV), high initial specific‐capacity (921.38 mAh g−1 at 1 C), and stable cycling‐performance, much superior to polypropylene and monolayer‐modified separators. Moreover, theoretical calculations confirm the anisotropic effect of CPM on the anodic side (e.g., Li+ transfer, LiPSs adsorption, and anode‐protection) and cathodic side (e.g., LiPSs adsorption/catalysis). This work might provide a new perspective for separator exploration.
Experimental study and mechanism analysis on basic mechanical properties of basalt fiber reinforced concrete
Authors: Wei Chengpeng , Sun Xinjian , Yu Zhenpeng , Zhang Pengtao 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIn order to comprehensively examine the influence of basalt fiber on the basic mechanical properties of concrete, the axial compression, axial tension and direct shear tests were carried out on basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) with different fiber contents and fiber lengths. The failure modes and stress–strain curves under different loading modes were obtained from the test data, and the basic mechanical parameters of BFRC were extracted from the curves. Based on the results, the following conclusions were drawn. With the increase of fiber content, both the compressive strength and tensile strength showed an upward trend first followed by a downward trend. In general, the shear strength of BFRC was lower than that of ordinary reinforced concrete with no fiber (RC). All BFRC specimens had an increased peak strain and significantly improved deformability compared to RC. Based on a comprehensive analysis, the specimen with a fiber content of 0.2% and a fiber length of 6 mm (BFRC‐0.2%‐6) exhibited the best mechanical properties. In addition, mathematical regression analysis was performed on the normalized stress–strain curves of BFRC, and the influencing parameters model of basalt fiber was proposed based on the fiber content and fiber length. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and computed tomography were utilized to analyze the influencing mechanism of basalt fiber content and fiber length on the mechanical properties of concrete from the microcosmic and mesoscopic perspectives.

Authors: Scalbi Agnese , Zani Giulio , di Prisco Marco , Mannella Paolo 
Published: November 2022

AbstractA selection of bridges has been investigated to suggest the key features to be assessed during their aging. The main idea is to highlight the relevance of the maintenance plans in the through‐life management of the structure. Accurate rules might provide a basis for enhancing the structure performance and evaluating whether the risk associated with its use is limited to acceptable thresholds. The paper analyses also the classification procedures in use, highlighting the main issues that could facilitate a more aware evaluation of the synthetic indicators for these structures. Furthermore, it aims at describing the main deficiencies recurrently encountered during the surveys on the selected bridges. The main goal is to provide bridge owners and managers with more streamlined methods and tools that can be used in the existing bridge ranking procedures to meet the latest national requirements for maintenance management.

Authors: Boateng Ebenezer N. K. , Manyungwa Zola , Anderson Jennings 
Published: November 2022

AbstractAs leaders of tomorrow, we, the African YouthMappers, are taking the initiative of contributing toward the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals that are a blueprint for a better and more sustainable future for all. Our contributions center on the generation of open geospatial data, which is critical when making decisions on achieving desired development across all seventeen goals. In response to the African continent’s alleged data inadequacies, YouthMappers, as vital members of the OpenStreetMap community, have made significant contributions to open geospatial data in Africa. This chapter highlights the contribution of YouthMappers to not just build maps – which especially supports reduced inequalities around data access in Africa (SDG 10) – but also to build mappers – by advancing the geospatial capacity of young people across the continent, addressing (SDG 8) decent work and economic growth.
Mapping for Women’s Evacuation Plans During Climate-Induced Disasters
Authors: Akter Airin , Tasnim Mobashsira 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIncreasingly disasters like floods, droughts, cyclones, and heat waves are recurring in the wake of climate change impacts. Women and children are among the most vulnerable, particularly in developing countries. At the same time, young people are among the most eager to respond with solutions to protect populations affected by disasters. In the low-lying riverine country of Bangladesh, YouthMappers are working to create fundamental maps to support the information needs of women who seek safety from climate-inducted disasters, but currently must rely on their husbands for evacuation. Initiatives like our open data mapping that entails participation of young women to alleviate such vulnerabilities toward disasters contribute to global goals for climate (SDG 13) and gender (SDG 5).
Cities of the Future Need to Be Both Smart and Just: How We Think Open Mapping Can Help
Authors: Nakacwa Stellamaris , Manieson Bert 
Published: November 2022

AbstractAlong with increasing urban growth rates, especially in the global south, cities are becoming more fragile because of rapid climate change, insecurity, and increasing urban landscape challenges. With the limited budget sums, coupled with outdated and limited spatial and aspatial data, city planners, governors, and governments are left short of the optimal and efficient approaches to deploy and reckon just, smart, and sustainable cities across all populaces. This demands agile tools and applications for effective decision-making to maintain and sustainably improve quality of life with an assurance that no one is left behind. We demonstrate the potential utilization of OpenStreetMap datasets by urban planners and governing councils to enhance evidence-based planning and policy initiatives. Several projects have been pioneered and executed by youth to demonstrate their crucial role in the organization and collection of crowdsourced geospatial data as a manifestation of the broader theoretical underpinnings of urban governance encapsulated in SDG 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions and SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities. We argue youth are communicating through the collection of the data. We demonstrate practical approaches to the inclusion of OSM and the participation of local YouthMappers chapters towards objectively positive, just urban governance.

Authors: Maron Mikel , Leson Heather 
Published: November 2022

AbstractOpenStreetMap (OSM) is a very unusual kind of partnership, not only in the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) but also frankly everywhere. YouthMappers has expanded OSM through localized engagement on a global scale. Examining this unique approach is instructive to learn not only about partnerships (SDG 17) but also about innovation in the open technology industry (SDG 9). We consider this joint journey so far and ponder on how to amplify our collective impact in the future.
Rural Household Food Insecurity and Child Malnutrition in Northern Ghana
Authors: Antwi Kwaku , Lyford Conrad , Solís Patricia 
Published: November 2022

AbstractClose to 750 million or nearly one in ten people in the world are exposed to severe levels of food insecurity, and 2 billion people do not have regular access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food. A critical but overlooked question is how to properly locate the most food insecure and malnourished households within geographical areas that have been generally identified as food insecure and malnourished – especially where such areas are poorly mapped. The YouthMappers approach served as a baseline to inform our spatial analysis of food insecurity and underpinned household surveys on malnutrition. The resulting maps paint a powerful picture of the spatial variation of factors affecting different places, knowledge which can better inform interventions that are tailored to households in need and ultimately help to meet the goals of SDG 2, Zero Hunger.

Published: November 2022

AbstractIn hopes of building inclusive and sustainable societies, SDG 4, quality education, is central to helping to build a knowledge base to tackle some of the most pressing challenges faced by society. YouthMappers around the world are applying their knowledge coupled with critical reflection tools to act on and bring others along in making changes that improve the world. As such, they can be considered among a generation of “Solutionaries,” students who extend their understanding beyond typical boundaries to include a systematic application of their learning. Youth, in general, and young women, in particular, can get aligned to the opportunity to learn through practical knowledge, by way of inclusive mapping communities, which sparks their passion for learning and supports SDG 5 gender equality in education, as well.
Volcanic Geomorphology in El Hierro Global Geopark
Authors: Guillén-Martín Cayetano , Romero Carmen 
Published: November 2022

AbstractFew oceanic islands express their geomorphological history in such a marked way as the island of El Hierro. Indeed, on El Hierro, its geomorphology goes hand in hand with the evolution of its insular geology. In fact, seventy percent of places of geological interest in El Hierro’s Geopark have geomorphological features as their main or secondary interest, which is indicative of the importance of geomorphology in the configuration of the island’s relief. However, there are few studies that have addressed the processes or features of the island’s geomorphology. In this study, the first geomorphological characterization is carried out in which the island is considered as a whole unit.
Rural Landscapes in an Oceanic Volcanic Island
Authors: Martín Martín Víctor Onésimo 
Published: November 2022

AbstractFor a quarter of a century, the territorial dynamics of El Hierro have been influenced by the tertiarization of its economy, fundamentally focused on non-intensive tourist activity (green or nature tourism, hiking, rural tourism, sports in nature), causing a gradual abandonment of agricultural activities and, therefore, of their agricultural landscapes. However, it is still possible to recognize today the traces of traditional agricultural landscapes of great interest, both for heritage and for food production. It is then necessary to carry out a typology of these agro-cultural spaces with the aim of delimiting them, knowing their production systems, conserving and organizing them and, what is more remarkable, proposing for the future those ways of managing them. That can contribute to the sustainable development of the island, further justifying the declaration of the Island as a Biosphere Reserve.
The Neuroscience of Beauty
Authors: Comfort William Edgar , Freitas Ana Luísa 
Published: November 2022

AbstractAppreciating beauty is part of everyday life, when we contemplate fine arts, architecture, music, and natural scenes. Aesthetic appreciation, like any ordinary phenomenon of human life, triggers affective and cognitive processes that can provide the subject with sensations of hedonic pleasure and cognitive self-reward (Leder H, Belke B, Oeberst A, Augustin D. Br J Psychol 95(4):489–508, 2004). Although humans share several neuropsychological processes, the experience of aesthetic appreciation is undeniably idiosyncratic, and sometimes it is not that simple to find beauty where we were supposed to find it, and more often the same object can elicit different reactions amongst observers.
Success of and Barriers to Workshop Methodology: Experiences from Exploration and Pedagogical Innovation Laboratories (EX-PED-LAB)
Authors: Ødegaard Elin Eriksen , Oen Marion , Birkeland Johanna 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis chapter reports on the emerging findings during the first year of a design- and inquiry-based research project called Kindergarten Teacher as a Researcher. The project attempts to implement a design for collaboration and knowledge co-creation through a workshop methodology called Exploration and Pedagogical Innovation Laboratories (EX-PED-LAB). The project was funded by the Research Council of Norway as a starting grant for the common initiative of the Agency for Kindergartens (Bergen City, Norway) and the KINDknow Research Centre [BARNkunne – Senter for barnehageforskning], located at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL). The goal of the workshop laboratory was twofold: (1) to support early childhood educational leaders and staff in enhancing the quality of kindergartens in close collaboration with researchers and (2) to research three areas of common interest: the play, exploration, and learning environment; collaboration with families; and leadership and governance. This chapter highlights a set of features for success, as well as takeaway points for the further development of the workshop methodology, tailored to future early childhood partnership research programmes. Drawing on the case of the EX-PED-LAB project, the chapter seeks to describe the features of the success of and barriers to collaborative explorative processes and knowledge-creating practices in practices-developing research. These insights will be beneficial for further investigations, consolidations, and refinements of the workshop methodology.
