description: Current electronic devices are fabricated mostly on glass or plastic films which are often hard to
recycle. In this study, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO) oxidized nano-cellulose (TOCN) film
was explored as a green substrate candidate for next-generation electronic applications and its optical, surface and
mechanical properties are presented in this report. Its prospective integration in the future dye-sensitized solar cells
(DSSCs) was investigated by testing as one of the electrodes in a counter electrode-counter electrode configuration
(CE-CE). The TOCN film was able to undergo the device sealing process at 220°C and 140 °C without any change in
its color or dimension. The results highlight the potential of environmentally friendly and room temperature
processed nano-fiber based films as an alternative substrate for bifacial devices.

description: Nowadays, wireless communication networks focus on indoor applications, Internet of Things (IoT),
sensor networks, etc., use batteries as their source of energy. However, batteries have a limited lifetime and to be
replaced regularly. The lifetime often is one key limiting factor for the device. Replacing the battery always outweighs
the most cost of the device itself. However, if the device itself could be able to harvest energy from renewable resources
in the environment, the lifetime of the device will be many times over. The feasibility of PV for indoor low power
applications has already been demonstrated, for phone chargers, computer mice and indoor positioning systems. The
PV cells for different applications on earth to be rated by their power output under standard test conditions (STC).
However, the STC are not relevant for indoor applications. Typically, the light intensity under artificial lighting
conditions found in offices and factories is less than 5 W/m2 as compared to 100–1000 W/m2 under outdoor conditions,
depending on the type of light source and its distance. Characterization of emerging PV requires variable indoor light
source and very slow temporal response. In this study, we also made a comparison for different emerging PV in light
levels indoor environments. The characterization after test showed it is not necessary to measure performance under all
typical artificial light sources. Therefore, we propose the reasonable comment about each solar cell measured by indoor
light sources for its characterization and application.

description: We present our investigation into the long-term variability of the X-ray obscuration and optical-UV-X-ray continuum in the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548. In 2013 and 2014, the Swift observatory monitored NGC 5548 on average every day or two, with archival observations reaching back to 2005, totalling about 670 ks of observing time. Both broadband spectral modelling and temporal rms variability analysis are applied to the Swift data. We disentangle the variability caused by absorption, due to an obscuring weakly-ionised outflow near the disk, from variability of the intrinsic continuum components (the soft X-ray excess and the power-law) originating from the disk and its associated coronae. The spectral model that we apply to this extensive Swift data is the global model that we derived for NGC 5548 from analysis of the stacked spectra from our multi-satellite campaign of summer 2013 (including XMM-Newton, NuSTAR and HST). The results of our Swift study show that changes in the covering fraction of the obscurer is the primary and dominant cause of variability in the soft X-ray band on timescales of 10 days to ~ 5 months. The obscuring covering fraction of the X-ray source is found to range between 0.7 and nearly 1.0. The contribution of the soft excess component to the X-ray variability is often much less than that of the obscurer, but it becomes comparable when the optical-UV continuum flares up. We find that the soft excess is consistent with being the high-energy tail of the optical-UV continuum and can be explained by warm Comptonisation: up-scattering of the disk seed photons in a warm, optically thick corona as part of the inner disk. To this date, the Swift monitoring of NGC 5548 shows that the obscurer has been continuously present in our line of sight for at least 4 years (since at least February 2012).

description: Single particle detection is described in a limited way by simple models of measurements in quantum field theory. We show that a general approach, using Kraus operators in spacetime constructed from natural combinations of fields, leads to an efficient model of a single particle detector. The model is free from any auxiliary objects as it is defined solely within the existing quantum field framework. It can be applied to a large family of setups where the time resolution of the measurement is relevant, such as Bell correlations or sequential measurement. We also discuss the limitations and working regimes of the model.

description: The relationship between reaction-diffusion (RD) systems, characterized by continuous spatiotemporal states, and cellular automata (CA), marked by discrete spatiotemporal states, remains poorly understood. This paper delves into this relationship through an examination of a recently developed CA known as Lenia. We demonstrate that asymptotic Lenia, a variant of Lenia, can be comprehensively described by differential equations, and, unlike the original Lenia, it is independent of time-step ticks. Further, we establish that this formulation is mathematically equivalent to a generalization of the kernel-based Turing model (KT model). Stemming from these insights, we establish that asymptotic Lenia can be replicated by an RD system composed solely of diffusion and spatially local reaction terms, resulting in the simulated asymptotic Lenia based on an RD system, or "RD Lenia". However, our RD Lenia cannot be construed as a chemical system since the reaction term fails to satisfy mass-action kinetics.

description: The effects of a UV cut-off filter and a UV additive on the stability of dye-sensitized solar cells were
studied. Both approaches to prevent UV, which is a major degradation factor, have been presented in literature, but
the effectiveness of these measures have not been compared nor their possible combined effect to reach even higher
UV protection tested. Here, the studied cells had conventional iodine based electrolyte or electrolyte with cobalt
complex redox couple to which the UV absorber (benzophenone based) was mixed. The cells were subjected to an
accelerated aging test using a UV light and the cells with no protection were compared to cells with those having the
UV absorber and/or a UV cut-off filter. The initial and final performance of cells were characterized by photovoltaic
measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and other measurement techniques. The cobalt based cells
showed faster degradation compared to iodine based cells, even with the UV filter and their degradation could be
related to the degradation of the organic dye. The performance of the iodine based cells remained stable over 111h
when a UV cut-off filter was applied. Our study also shows that the UV filter has a superior effect in blocking UV
light, whilst the UV additive had only a marginal effect at most in stabilizing the cells.

description: The main objective of the present paper is to summarize the work done in the Laboratory of Solar Cells
(SiCelLab) form the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER) in order to enable the possibility of
using screen printing techniques as an alternative to the actual methods, applied by the scientific community for
producing the metal contacts in perovskite based devices. Thus, the deposition of contacts made by screen printing
with inks such as the ones based on graphite powders, epoxy resins and anhydrous solvents, due to their inherent low
cost and processing temperatures, could lead to reducing the manufacturing costs and, therefore, help with the future
commercialization of this kind of solar cell technologies.
Bearing this in mind, optimal proportions of these three components have been combined, in order to obtain a basic
ink recipe, suitable for printing purposes, which also provided the possibility to study the effect of using different
solvents. The improvement of the derived ink recipes was achieved by producing samples, on the one hand, via
screen printing so as to study their electric resistance and, on the other, via doctor blade so as to study their resistivity,
in both cases by using a semiconductor characterization system, configured to operate as an ohmmeter. Also, a digital
microscope was used to study in detail the homogeneity and adhesion characteristics of the deposited samples.
Finally, it was concluded that the N, N- dimethyl formamide (DMF) and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) are the
solvents that allow to add greater amounts of graphite to the final mixture and, thus, to improve its conductivity,
without impairing its printing capabilities.

description: Mathematical models of pedestrian evacuation and the associated simulation software have become essential tools for the assessment of the safety of public facilities and buildings. While a variety of models are now available, their calibration and test against empirical data are generally restricted to global, averaged quantities, the statistics compiled from the time series of individual escapes (" microscopic " statistics) measured in recent experiments are thus overlooked. In the same spirit, much research has primarily focused on the average global evacuation time, whereas the whole distribution of evacuation times over some set of realizations should matter. In the present paper we propose and discuss the validity of a simple relation between this distribution and the " microscopic " statistics, which is theoretically valid in the absence of correlations. To this purpose, we develop a minimal cellular automaton, with novel features that afford a semi-quantitative reproduction of the experimental " microscopic " statistics. We then introduce a process of social contagion of impatient behavior in the model and show that the simple relation under test may dramatically fail at high contagion strengths, the latter being responsible for the emergence of strong correlations in the system. We conclude with comments on the potential practical relevance for safety science of calculations based on " microscopic " statistics.

I will present the discovery of around a hundred free-floating planets, members of the Upper Scorpius OB association and the Ophiuchus star-forming region. These objects were identified using proper motions and photometry. We have carried out a spectroscopic campaign to confirm their youth and ultra-cool nature. This constitutes the largest homogeneous sample of free-floating planets to date, which enables many follow-up studies, such as their origin and composition.

description: Medium and high-spin states in $^{133}$Ce were investigated using the $^{116}$Cd($^{22}$Ne, $5n$) reaction and the Gammasphere array. The level scheme was extended up to an excitation energy of $\sim22.8$ MeV and spin 93/2 . Eleven bands of quadrupole transitions and two new dipole bands are identified. The connections to low-lying states of the previously known, high-spin triaxial bands were firmly established, thus fixing the excitation energy and, in many cases, the spin parity of the levels. Based on comparisons with cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations and tilted axis cranking covariant density functional theory, it is shown that all observed bands are characterized by pronounced triaxiality. Competing multiquasiparticle configurations are found to contribute to a rich variety of collective phenomena in this nucleus.

description: One possibility to increase the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the organic photovoltaic cells
(OPVCs) is to introduce a thin anode buffer layer (ABL) between the anode and the organic electron donor (ED).
Among the possible ABLs, it was shown that CuI is very efficient. However, it was shown that the morphology of the
CuI layers depends strongly on the film deposition conditions, mainly on the deposition rate. The surface roughness
of the CuI layer is often very high if we do not control precisely the conditions of deposition of the layer. This high
surface roughness introduces leakage current paths in the devices and therefore poor performances reproducibility.
Therefore, in the present work, we proceed to co-evaporation of an hybrid ABL MoO3/CuI. The co-evaporation
process avoids CuI crystallization which prevents rough ABL formation, even for a deposition rate of 0.01 nm/s for
each compound. These MoO3/CuI ABL were probed in planar heterojunction OPVCs based on the couple copper
phthalocyanine/fullerene(CuPc/C60). By comparison with OPVCs using reference ABL (MoO3, CuI or MoO3/CuI)
there is a systematic improvement of their PCE and this for a deposition rate 2 times higher than in the case where
CuI is deposited alone.

The datasets include field survey data on woody species presence and absence from 384 plots at 32 permanent monitoring sites of native forests across the Oriental Republic of Uruguay (South America). We compiled different methods from meta-community studies, remote sensing and landscape ecology to explore how woody species communities are influenced by land use change from local to regional scale. We describe the diverse woody species composition in native forests across Uruguay and structure of metacommunities of woody species. Data on woody species diversity inform landscape planning, land-use management, policy and governance and can be used for further meta-analysis with other local, regional or global data sets.

description: P3HT blended with different fullerene derivatives (PC60BM, PC61BM, PC70BM and PC71BM) have
been prepared and studied as active layers in organic solar cells (OSCs). These PCBM have different LUMO and
HOMO positions which subsequently influence the PV parameters of the OSCs such as open circuit voltage (Voc) and
the built-in potential (Vbi). Charge carrier mobility is found to vary with the type of fullerene used with maximum
value of 9.3 x10-6 cm2V-1s-1 for the P3HT:PC61BM based device. The latter has exhibited the highest device
performance with power conversion efficiency (PCE) reaching 4.2% corresponding to a fill factor (FF) of 62%, with
open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.65V and short circuit current density (Jsc) of 10.4 mA.cm-2. The improved fill factor
has been attributed to the lower series resistance (Rs) in the studied devices.

description: We present a statistical analysis of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Italian micro enterprises. Within the period we are examining (2012-2021), our primary focus will be on the last two years. We will show that, overall, cooperatives have been more severely affected than capitalist enterprises. The challenges faced by micro cooperatives began well before the pandemic period, but the gap with capitalist enterprises widened significantly during this time. Some concern about employment seems featuring micro cooperatives more than conventional firms. Additionally, we will concentrate on micro firms operating nationwide in two sectors that the pandemic has hit very asymmetrically and on all micro enterprises operating in the Emilia-Romagna region.

evaporation and annealed at different temperatures were studied using different characterization techniques, in order
to evaluate its use as alternative to ITO as back contact in organic/inorganic solar cells. According to XRD analyses
the obtained TiO2 films showed mainly the presence of anatase crystal structure once annealed at T> 400 °C.
Electrical and optical characterization of the annealed samples shows the best results for the films annealed at T> 400
°C with a resistivity of ca.10-2 ohm cm, a mobility of 3 cm2/Vs and carrier concentration of 1019/cm3. Therefore, the
observed results indicate formation of good quality titanium oxide films by using e-beam evaporation deposition
technique followed by thermal annealing, with physical and electrical properties desirable for our applications.

abundant materials like carbon or its allotropes like graphene, carbon nano tubes, carbon nanofibers etc. can be
employed as an alternative material to currently using high cost Pt. For the purpose of CE preparation we have
chosen graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) since it can provide good conductivity along with the capability of bulk
production. For the bulk production of GNPs we have followed the liquid phase exfoliation of bulk graphite into
GNPs and as obtained GNPs in the liquid medium is coated on to the fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate which
serves as CE for DSSCs. The power conversion efficiency achieved with this kind of GNP based CE is about 5 %.
The exfoliated GNPs based CEs could be the potential approach towards the low cost module level production of
DSSCs.

description: This study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence and teacher efficacy among 90 English language perspective teachers from a university in Patna. Data sources included Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk-Hoy’s Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale and Reuven Bar-On’s Emotional Quotient Inventory. The findings indicated that Indian EFL perspective teachers felt more efficacious in managing the class rather than in making the class enjoyable. The findings also showed that the perspective teachers scored highest in the stress tolerance and assertiveness competencies, but lowest in independence and self-regard in terms of emotional intelligence (EQ). Findings revealed a significant, positive relationship between EQ and perspective teachers’ efficacy. The greatest correlation is between the interpersonal EQ subscale and the engagement efficacy subscale. On the other hand, both adaptability EQ scale and stress management EQ scale scores were not significantly correlated with the three efficacy subscales.

description: This work explores the emerging dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) by inkjet printing (IJP) technology.
Through nanometer materials in a direct manufacturing way, the IJP-based DSSC featuring low-cost, light-weight
and flexible advantages is one of promising solar cell types in field of green-power technologies. Pursuing novel nonsilicon-
based materials and DSSCs still remains. In this study, a diluted titanium dioxide mixtures (TiO2, 10 wt%)
was first filled in an inkjet printhead (Dimatix DMP 2831), directly forming a thin film (area = 4 mm × 4 mm) on a
conductive glass (fluorine-doped tin oxide Glass). After thermally sintering at 450 °C for 30 min to form a nanoporous
film (thickness ~10 μm) and dyeing (N719, Sigma-Aldrich), a DSSC photo-electrode (PE) was generated.
Then, using doctor-blade coating (DBC), a platinum (Pt) film was formed on another FTO glass to generate a DSSC
counter electrode (CE), followed by thermally adhesive bonding (Surlyn 1702, DuPont) with the previous PE. Finally,
after filling an electrolyte (potassium iodide) into the small gap (60 μm) between PE and CE, a DSSC was eventually
achieved. Using a solar simulator (Newport 91160A), the experimental results show that this DSSC exhibited the
short-circuit current density (Jsc) of 9.17 mA/cm2, open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.72 V, fill Factor (FF) of 0.67, and
power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.41%.

description: ​This study investigates the effect of external debts and debt burden (proxied by the ratio of total debt service payment to export earnings) on economic growth within the framework of vector error correction model (VECM). The study employed annual time series data sourced from the World Bank database (1977-2019) due to the unavailability of the proxy for debt burden on higher frequencies. The study found evidence of debt overhang in Nigeria due to the negative-significant relationship between external debts and economic growth. The result further revealed that a 1 per cent increase in debt burden, all things being equal, decreased economic growth by 2.2 per cent in the long run. Based on these findings, it was recommended that the Nigerian government should expand her earnings through conscious diversification of the country's economy to boost exports and curbing unnecessary imports that consumes the country's foreign exchange reserves.This study investigates the effect of external debts and debt burden (proxied by the ratio of total debt service payment to export earnings) on economic growth within the framework of vector error correction model (VECM).

description: We analyse a 154 MHz image made from a 12 h observation with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) to determine the noise contribution and behaviour of the source counts down to 30 mJy. The MWA image has a bandwidth of 30.72 MHz, a field-of-view within the half-power contour of the primary beam of 570 deg^2, a resolution of 2.3 arcmin and contains 13,458 sources above 5 sigma. The rms noise in the centre of the image is 4-5 mJy/beam. The MWA counts are in excellent agreement with counts from other instruments and are the most precise ever derived in the flux density range 30-200 mJy due to the sky area covered. Using the deepest available source count data, we find that the MWA image is affected by sidelobe confusion noise at the ~3.5 mJy/beam level, due to incompletely-peeled and out-of-image sources, and classical confusion becomes apparent at ~1.7 mJy/beam. This work highlights that (i) further improvements in ionospheric calibration and deconvolution imaging techniques would be required to probe to the classical confusion limit and (ii) the shape of low-frequency source counts, including any flattening towards lower flux densities, must be determined from deeper ~150 MHz surveys as it cannot be directly inferred from higher frequency data.

description: Since 2002, 14 U.S States have passed and implemented policies addressing practices that can impact farm animal welfare. The most common policies directly ban confinement practices within a State’s pork, egg, and veal industries or prohibit the sale of products from noncompliant operations. Proposals for future changes are also beginning to target beef and dairy industries. As these policies become increasingly common across States, their influence on animal product industries, markets, and international trade opportunities grows. This report describes the current state of these policies, the extent of their implementation and geographic coverage, and the legal environment and challenges these policies have faced. State policies directly cover a relatively small share of operations and production, but retail sales restrictions can reach beyond State borders to affect U.S. animal product industries more broadly and create market implications for U.S. imports and exports.

description: Accurately quantifying and removing submerged underwater waste plays a crucial role in safeguarding marine life and preserving the environment. While detecting floating and surface debris is relatively straightforward, quantifying submerged waste presents significant challenges due to factors like light refraction, absorption, suspended particles, and color distortion. This paper addresses these challenges by proposing the development of a custom dataset and an efficient detection approach for submerged marine debris. The dataset encompasses diverse underwater environments and incorporates annotations for precise labeling of debris instances. Ultimately, the primary objective of this custom dataset is to enhance the diversity of litter instances and improve their detection accuracy in deep submerged environments by leveraging state-of-the-art deep learning architectures.

Celebrity endorsement in advertisements and its impact on women’s self-esteem in the United Kingdom
Creators: name: Kazmi, Syeda Rubia
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University

Subjects: Other commerce, management, tourism and services not elsewhere classified

description: The foremost aim of this research study is to investigate and understand the underlying factors for the inclusion of celebrities in advertisement, followed by its impact on the women’s self-esteem in the United Kingdom. The research problem identified in this study was that celebrity endorsement’s inclusion and wrongful portrayal have somehow negatively affected the self-esteem and attitude of women in the globalised era and this study identifies those factors. Quantitative method of research design along with primary method of data collection has been adopted by researcher. The sample size was 300 and tests applied include: correlation and regression. The independent variable was celebrity endorsement whereas dependent variable was self-esteem. Both the variables were further broken down into sub-variables. The findings of the study revealed that significant correlation exists between both the variables as the Pearson correlation values obtained were more than 50%. On the other hand, regression results revealed that all the variables in the study that are expertise, physical attractiveness, similarity, respect and trustworthiness have a strong relationship with objectification. Also, it can be seen that all of the variables have a significant impact on the dependent variable of body image It is recommended that advertising agencies are required to consider the celebrities who have an aspirational and positive image. The current state of knowledge within the field of marketing and advertising consists of multitude dimensions, where the abundant mass of the research stems from different advertising journals. It has been made evident that the path towards the successful celebrity endorsement campaigns entails much more than just picking a highly rated celebrity, having them endorse the product, and then sending it to the mass market
Giant domain wall response of highly twinned ferroelastic materials

description: Many ferroelastic crystals display at sufficiently low measurement frequencies a huge elastic softening below Tc which is caused by domain wall motion. Materials range from perovskites to iron based superconductors and shape memory materials. We present a model - based on Landau-Ginzburg theory including long range elastic interaction between needle shaped ferroelastic domains - to describe the observed superelastic softening. The theory predicts that the domain wall contribution to the elastic susceptibility is different for improper and proper ferroelastic materials. A test of the theory against experimental data on SrTiO3, KMnF3, LaAlO3, La1-xNdxP5O14 and NH4HC2O4.1/2H2O yields excellent agreement.

description: While the efficiency of silicon heterojunction solar
cells has surpassed 25%, a novel route to highefficiency
wafer-based solar cells is being pursued
with perovskite/silicon tandems, with monolithic
devices having reached 21.2% [3] and 4- terminal
measurements approaching 25% [9] with potential
to come close to 30% efficiency. In this context we
introduce a simulation tool that combines a 3D raytracing
algorithm with thin film optics to study light
interaction with conformally coated layers on planar
and textured silicon wafers. After validating the
model with experimental data we employ it for
demonstrating further efficiency improvements that
can be achieved with a rear-side random pyramid
texture and an anti-reflection foil in the front. The
simulations show that the light scattering introduced
by the rear-side texture and the anti-reflection foil
mainly enhances the photocurrent of the silicon
heterojunction cell by 1.4 mA/cm2 and 2.2 mA/cm2,
respectively. With additional adjustment of some
layer thicknesses we thus conclude that the overall
current enhancement can be as high as 3.9 mA/cm2,
corresponding to a relative boost of about 30% in
current density and thus expected power conversion
efficiency. Eventually such approaches should
provide guidelines on how to further improve the
efficiency of perovskite/silicon tandem cells.
