AbstractTransparent glass with metal mesh is considered a promising strategy for high performance transparent glass heaters (TGHs). However, the realization of simple, low‐cost manufacture of high performance TGHs still faces great challenges. Here, a technique for the fabrication of high performance TGHs is proposed using liquid sacrificial substrate electric‐field‐driven (LS‐EFD) microscale 3D printing of thick film silver paste. The liquid sacrificial substrate not only significantly improves the aspect ratio (AR) of silver mesh, but also plays a positive role in printing stability. The fabricated TGHs with a line width of 35 µm, thickness of 12.3 µm, and pitch of 1000 µm exhibit a desirable optoelectronic performance with sheet resistance (Rs) of 0.195 Ω sq−1 and transmittance (T) of 88.97%. A successful deicing test showcases the feasibility and practicality of the manufactured TGHs. Moreover, an interface evaporator is developed for the coordination of photothermal and electrothermal systems based on the high performance TGHs. The vapor generation rate of the device reaches 10.69 kg m−2 h−1 with a voltage of 2 V. The proposed technique is a promising strategy for the cost‐effective and simple fabrication of high performance TGHs.
High‐Performance Potassium‐Tellurium Batteries Stabilized by Interface Engineering
Authors: Zhang Yue , Zhu Hongzheng , Freschi Donald J. , Liu Jian 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThe emerging potassium‐tellurium (K‐Te) battery system is expected to realize fast reaction kinetics and excellent rate performance due to the exceptional electrical conductivity of Te. However, there has been a lack of fundamental knowledge about this new K‐Te system, including the reaction mechanism and cathode structure design. Herein, a two‐step reaction pathway from Te to K2Te3 and ultimately to K5Te3 is investigated in carbonate electrolyte‐based K‐Te batteries by X‐ray diffraction, high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, and selected area electron diffraction characterizations. Additionally, the atomic layer deposition technique is adopted to deposit an ultrathin aluminum oxide (Al2O3) film on the electrode surface, which induces the generation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase layer and reduces the loss of active materials effectively. Consequently, the rationally fabricated Te/porous carbon cathode with functional Al2O3 coating delivers remarkable long‐term cycling stability over 500 cycles at 1 C with an ultralow capacity decay of only 0.01% per cycle. This interface engineering strategy is validated to stabilize the electrode surface, enhance the structural integrity and ensure reliable electron transfer and K‐ion conduction over repeated potassiation/depotassiation cycles. These findings are expected to promote the development of high‐energy‐density K‐S/Se/Te batteries.

AbstractThis paper deals with a novel approach to the model for the management of drinking water and sanitation services at the municipal level for the Municipality of San Joaquin, Carabobo State, Venezuela (SJM‐CS). The Autonomous Institute of Water (IAGUASAJO) of the SJM‐CS showed a significant increase in the performance of its functions with respect to the Municipal Directorate of Water and Public Works in the period 2019–2021. In the period 2020–2021, IAGUASANJO has performed functions with the main service provider at the regional/national level as well as with the communal councils of four communes located within the Municipality of San Joaquin. These functions encompassed the supervision, inspection, construction and rehabilitation of drinking water and sanitation services, making progress in the process of transition from the provision of services from the regional/national provider to the local provider at the municipal level.

AbstractThe application of petroleum‐based plastic worldwide causes the accumulation of plastic waste in landfills, which negatively impacts the environment such as reducing the quality of soil and may cause soil and water pollution. Most of the conventional plastics used have a long lifespan to completely degrade. According to the rapid development of the food industry, plastic packaging plays a key role in food quality and safety, thus making it a major role in controlling the food security system. The alternative use of plastic sources from biopolymers is one of the methods to support environmental sustainability actions. This review provides an overview of studies on principles and challenges of sustainable packaging including different types of biopolymer compounds properties and biodegradability of bioplastics in soil by microorganisms. The biopolymers composition in biodegradable plastic is important in designing better mechanical, physical, and barrier properties during degradation by microorganisms and application in food industries.
Intercultural Education in Brazil

How to Effectively Reduce Failure Analysis Time?
Authors: Golagha Mojdeh 
Published: February 2022

AbstractDebugging is one of the most expensive and challenging phases in the software development life-cycle. One important cost factor in the debugging process is the time required to analyze failures and find underlying faults. Two types of techniques that can help developers to reduce this analysis time are Failure Clustering and Automated Fault Localization. Although there is a plethora of these techniques in the literature, there are still some gaps that prevent their operationalization in real-world contexts. Besides, the abundance of these techniques confuses the developers in selecting a suitable method for their specific domain. In order to help developers in reducing analysis time, we propose methodologies and techniques that can be used standalone or in a form of a tool-chain. Utilizing this tool-chain, developers (1) know which data they need for further analysis, (2) are able to group failures based on their root causes, and (3) are able to find more information about the root causes of each failing group. Our tool-chain was initially developed based on state-of-the-art failure diagnosis techniques. We implemented and evaluated existing techniques. We built on and improved them where the results were promising and proposed new solutions where needed. The overarching goal of this study has been the applicability of techniques in practice.
Dynamically Scalable Fog Architectures
Authors: Henze Dominic 
Published: February 2022

AbstractRecent advances in mobile connectivity as well as increased computational power and storage in sensor devices have given rise to a new family of software architectures with challenges for data and communication paths as well as architectural reconfigurability at runtime. Established in 2012, Fog Computing describes one of these software architectures. It lacks a commonly accepted definition, which manifests itself in the missing support for mobile applications as well as dynamically changing runtime configurations. The dissertation “Dynamically Scalable Fog Architectures” provides a framework that formalizes Fog Computing and adds support for dynamic and scalable Fog Architectures.The framework called xFog (Extension for Fog Computing) models Fog Architectures based on set theory and graphs. It consists of three parts: xFogCore, xFogPlus, and xFogStar. xFogCore establishes the set theoretical foundations. xFogPlus enables dynamic and scalable Fog Architectures to dynamically add new components or layers. Additionally, xFogPlus provides a View concept which allows stakeholders to focus on different levels of abstraction.These formalizations establish the foundation for new concepts in the area of Fog Computing. One such concept, xFogStar, provides a workflow to find the best service configuration based on quality of service parameters.The xFog framework has been applied in eight case studies to investigate the applicability of dynamic Fog Components, scalable Fog Architectures, and the service provider selection at runtime. The case studies, covering different application domains—ranging from smart environments, health, and metrology to gaming—successfully demonstrated the feasibility of the formalizations provided by xFog, the dynamic change of Fog Architectures by adding new components and layers at runtime, as well as the applicability of a workflow to establish the best service configuration.
Introduction: Violence and Welfare
Authors: Obinger Herbert , Schmitt Carina 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThis chapter sheds light on the impact of violent interdependencies on social policy dynamics in different settings. Concretely, it elucidates the effects and underlying causal mechanisms between war and colonialism on the one hand and social policies on the other hand. This chapter provides a brief overview of current research and serves as a background for the following chapters of Part I, which examine concrete effects of war and colonialism on specific social policies around the world.
Opposition to the Washington Consensus: The IMF and Social Policy Reforms in Post-Soviet Russia
Authors: Pleines Heiko 
Published: February 2022

AbstractFinancial collapse forced Russia into an agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1998. As part of its conditionality the IMF demanded severe cuts to the country’s social security system, which led to a public backlash against the agreement. However, six years later, after Russia had repaid all its debts to the IMF and started pursuing its economic policy independently, it re-introduced the monetisation of in-kind social benefits—one of the key reforms it had failed to implement as part of the earlier IMF agreement. The analysis of a similar reform attempt with and without IMF involvement shows that domestic policy-makers can genuinely subscribe to neoliberal reforms. It also helps to assess the IMF’s “mixed” approach to domestic opposition against its conditionality.
Globalisation, Economic Interdependencies and Economic Crises
Authors: Mossig Ivo , Lischka Michael 
Published: February 2022

AbstractSince the early 1990s, globalisation has become a core subject of social science research. By analysing long-term data on trade, economic growth and foreign direct investments (FDI), we identify three different waves of economic globalisation separated by episodes of deep economic crises like the Great Depression. We discuss the causes and specific manifestations of economic globalisation and economic crises in each phase and briefly outline their impact on the dynamics of social policy. This introduction to Part III “Globalization, Economic Interdependencies and Economic Crises” thus represents the background for the following eight chapters examining key aspects of the effects of global economic developments on the introduction and design of social policies.
Mass Warfare and the Development of the Modern Welfare State: An Analysis of the Western World, 1914–1950
Authors: Obinger Herbert , Schmitt Carina , Seelkopf Laura 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThe impact of war on the development of welfare states in the Western world has recently attracted growing attention (Castles, Journal of European Social Policy, 20, 91–101, 2010; Rehm, Risk Inequality and Welfare States. Social Policy Preferences, Development, and Dynamics. Cambridge University Press, 2016; Obinger et al., Warfare and Welfare. Military Conflict and Welfare State Development in Western Countries. Oxford University Press, 2018). The horrors caused by both world wars, military demobilisation, post-war economic and political crises and war-induced institutional transformations created a huge demand for social protection that states were well-placed to fill. This chapter examines the impact of both world wars on the development and reshaping of social policies in the Western world. The immense costs of mass warfare also led to the introduction of new taxes such as the income tax and massive tax hikes of existing taxes. These new revenue sources were not only needed to pay for the war debt, but also brought the fiscal resources to pay for newly introduced programmes such as unemployment insurance and for the extensions of existing welfare schemes. In addition to policy innovations and reforms, both world wars also led to institutional innovations such as the establishment of welfare ministries. By using a sample of twenty-one Western countries, we present social policy trends and developments during and in the short aftermath of World Wars I and II.
Did Migrants Build the Welfare State? Migration as a Social Policy Driver in Early Twentieth-Century Uruguay
Authors: Huhle Teresa 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThis chapter analyses the links between transatlantic migration and the social policies that gave Uruguay the fame of being Latin America’s first welfare state in the early twentieth century. Three lines of impact will be examined: (a) how Uruguayan politicians framed health and labour legislation as a means to attract migrant workers and used the reforms in their recruitment of European migrants; (b) how migrants shaped the labour movement, which successfully demanded and negotiated social policies, and organised welfare in mutual societies; and (c) how second- and third-generation migrants formed part of social policy reform circles.
By Way of Conclusion: Future Research
Authors: Nullmeier Frank , de Reufels Delia González , Obinger Herbert 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThis chapter evaluates existing approaches and highlights the directions research on social policy development will be most likely to take in the near future once inter- and transnational interdependencies of national social policies receive more attention in general. These have been traced here through a series of individual stories that aspire to add to a more complex and comprehensive picture of how the national and the global come together in the field of social policy in an attempt to better understand how the different levels interact to shape social policy. The aim is more interrelated and more systematic research for which a plurality of approaches is recommendable.
Introduction
Authors: Stern Maria , Towns Ann E. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThis editorial introduction sets the stage for the subsequent chapters in the volume. The chapter begins with a discussion of the contradictory situation that feminist international relations scholarship is facing, a situation characterized both by great gains and by growing resistance. It then notes the transnational and global character of feminist knowledges and unpacks why a focus on Europe—as one location among many—is nonetheless warranted in this volume. The chapter subsequently turns to a discussion of the shared premises and questions that inform each contribution.
Feminist Security Studies in Europe: Beyond Western Academics’ Club
Authors: Krulišová Kateřina , O’Sullivan Míla 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThis chapter maps contemporary debates in feminist security studies (FSS) in Europe, showing the variety of issues studied via different theoretical and methodological lenses. While celebrating the richness of contemporary FSS debates, the chapter also highlights the asymmetry in knowledge production across the continent. FSS is clearly dominated by academics based in globally recognized ‘Centers of Excellence’ in Western and Northern Europe; yet our mapping also highlights scholarship in Central, Eastern, Southern, and South-eastern Europe. This underscores some obstacles scholars outside of the ‘West’ face when engaging with the discipline and calls for more inclusive transnational FSS debate in Europe.
Medienpraktiken für eine nachhaltige Gesellschaft und das „gute Leben“ erforschen
Authors: Kannengießer Sigrid 
Published: February 2022

ZusammenfassungDass Nachhaltigkeit und das „gute Leben“ Themen, wenn auch (noch) Nischenthemen, in der Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft sind, zeigt der im vorherigen Kapitel aufgearbeitete Forschungsstand zur Nachhaltigkeitskommunikation und dem „guten Leben“. Was aber verschiedene Akteur*innen mit Medien(-technologien) machen, um zu einem „guten Leben“ und einer nachhaltigen Gesellschaft beizutragen, ist noch zu wenig untersucht. Dass diese Frage jedoch von großem kommunikations- und medienwissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisinteresse sowie gesellschaftlicher Relevanz ist, zeigt der im vorherigen Kapitel aufgearbeitete Forschungsstand zu den sozial-ökologischen Effekten der Produktion, Nutzung und Entsorgung digitaler Medientechnologien, denn sowohl die Produktion als auch die Nutzung und die Entsorgung von Medientechnologien haben negative sozial-ökologische Folgen, die in (Post-)Industriegesellschaften jedoch oftmals unsichtbar bleiben, da sie, wie gezeigt wurde, in ökonomisch weniger entwickelte Länder ausgelagert werden. Nicht zuletzt aufgrund massenmedialer Berichterstattung sind diese Folgen dennoch Menschen in (Post-)Industrienationen bewusst. Auf der Basis dieser Erkenntnisse werden in diesem Kapitel die drei Fallbeispiele präsentiert, die in der vergleichenden Studie analysiert wurden: das Reparieren von Medientechnologien in Repair Cafés, die Produktion und Aneignung fairer Medientechnologien am Beispiel des Fairphones sowie Onlineplattformen, die für Nachhaltigkeit werben, am Beispiel von utopia.de. Dabei wird auch der jeweils relevante Forschungsstand zu den einzelnen Fallbeispielen aufgearbeitet. Für die Analyse wurden qualitative leitfadengestützte Interviews, (nicht-teilnehmende) Beobachtungen und qualitative Inhaltsanalysen in den Verfahren der Grounded Theory und der virtuellen Ethnographie trianguliert. Sechs theoretische Dimensionen wurden in der vergleichenden Analyse offenbar, die und deren Forschungsfelder hier erläutert werden: 1) Medienpraktiken, 2) Materialität, 3) Medienethik, 4) Vergemeinschaftung, 5) politische Partizipation sowie und 6) soziale Bewegung.

Dissociation Between National Policy and Local Communities in Regard to Water Supply Management
Authors: Ikemi Mayu 
Published: February 2022

AbstractVarious governments and international organizations have made efforts to expand water supply and sanitation services in rural Africa. This study aimed to evaluate and elucidate the outcomes of national policies on improving water supply management in rural Africa through a case study of Senegal. This case study examined the actual conditions of water supply facilities and residents’ water use in villages. I also attempted to identify the remaining challenges for sustainable water management by local communities. In summary, despite improvement in access to safe drinking water resources for rural populations in Senegal, the national policies were not completely successful. My findings highlight that improving water quality is as crucial as expanding water supply facilities in rural Africa. Meanwhile, for the sustainable self-management of water resources in rural Africa, the case study suggested the importance of local people’s transparent management, information sharing, and mutual aid. Rural residents in Africa have great potential to improve their current water environment through their own initiatives. This potential should be considered as a key to achieving the goal of sustainable water supply management in local communities.

-structure. We make use of the operad $${{\,\mathrm{Quilt}\,}}$$

Quilt

which was used by Hawkins in order to solve the presheaf case. Due to the additional difficulty posed by the presence of twists, we have to use $${{\,\mathrm{Quilt}\,}}$$

Quilt

in a fundamentally different way (even for presheaves) in order to allow for an extension to prestacks.
