Summary: AWaRe is a WHO system that classifies antibiotics based on their spectrum of activity and potential for antibiotic resistance development. The WHO aims for at least 60% of prescribed antibiotics globally to be from the Access category, with narrow spectrum and low potential for resistance, by 2023. The AWaRe Book provides simple guidance for empiric antibiotic prescribing to improve the appropriateness of antibiotic use.

Summary: This paper introduces polarization-adjusted convolutional (PAC) codes, which use a one-to-one convolutional transform and polar transform to improve the Hamming distance properties of polar codes, and improve error correction performance by adjusting constraint length, list size, and sorting strategy. Analysis shows that the path sorting complexity in local sorting of the paths in the parallel list Viterbi algorithm (LVA) is significantly lower than global sorting in list decoding.

Summary: The objective of deep metric learning is to learn embeddings that can capture semantic similarity and dissimilarity among data points. Existing methods suffer from slow convergence due to trivial pairs or triplets in the loss functions. To address this, ranking-motivated structured losses have been proposed, but they have some limitations. In this work, a novel ranked list loss is proposed to overcome these limitations and achieve state-of-the-art performance on fine-grained image retrieval task.

Summary: An injective coloring is a type of vertex coloring where any two vertices sharing a common neighbor have different colors. The study of list injective coloring mainly focuses on planar graphs, and we have discovered that for graphs with a degree of at least 18, the minimum list injective chromatic number is less than or equal to the degree plus 3. Similarly, for graphs with a degree of at least 12, the minimum list injective chromatic number is less than or equal to the degree plus 4.

Summary: The thermal instability of silver nanowires leads to increased electrical resistance in AgNW networks. Understanding the relationship between structural and electrical properties of AgNW networks is crucial for their integration as transparent electrodes in flexible optoelectronics. In situ X-ray diffraction measurements were used to study the crystallographic evolution of Ag-specific Bragg peaks during thermal ramping, revealing differences in thermal and structural transitions between bare and SnO2-coated AgNW networks.

Summary: This study examines the effects of hybrid nanoparticles made of NiO@rGO and NiO@CNT on the active layers of polymer solar cells and X-ray photodetectors. The findings show that these hybrid nanoparticles can enhance the charge carrier capacities and exciton dissociation properties of the active layers. Among the tested configurations, the NiO@CNT device demonstrates superior performance in converting sunlight into electricity, and achieves the best sensitivity for X-ray detection.

Summary: The rational construction of free-standing and flexible electrodes for electrochemical energy storage devices is an emerging research focus. In this study, a redox-active metal-organic framework (MOF) was prepared on carbon nanofibers using an in situ approach, resulting in a flexible electrode with high redox-active behavior and unique properties such as high flexibility and lightweight. The prepared electrode showed excellent cyclic retention and rate capability in supercapacitor applications. Additionally, it could be used as a freestanding electrode in flexible devices at different bending angles.

Summary: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising local treatment modality in cancer therapy, but its therapeutic efficacy is restricted by ineffective delivery of photosensitizers and tumor hypoxia. In this study, a phototactic Chlorella-based near-infrared (NIR) driven green affording-oxygen microrobot system was developed for enhanced PDT. The system exhibited desirable phototaxis and continuous oxygen generation, leading to the inhibition of tumor growth in mice. This study demonstrates the potential of using a light-driven green affording-oxygen microrobot to enhance photodynamic therapy.

Summary: This study demonstrates a simple and environmentally-friendly method for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanozymes (ZnO NZs) using wasted hop extract (WHE). The WHE-ZnO NZs exhibit exceptional peroxidase-like activity and serve as effective catalysts for the oxidation of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In addition, a straightforward colorimetric technique for detecting both H2O2 and glucose was developed using the WHE-ZnO NZs as peroxidase-like catalysts.

Summary: Mesoporous carbon particles have unique structural properties that make them suitable as support materials for catalytic applications. This study investigates the impact of channel nanostructures on the catalytic activity of porous carbon particles (PCPs) by fabricating PCPs with controlled channel exposure on the carbon surface. The results show that PCPs with highly open channel nanostructures exhibit significantly higher catalytic activity compared to those with closed channel nanostructures.
