Engineering Small-Sized Cations With Strong Solvation For High-Voltage Supercapacitors, Tong Huo, Pan Liu, Hao Chen, Peng Zhang, Zhen-Lei Chen, Guo-Fu Sun, Zhi-Qiang Shi, Jing Wang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Supercapacitors (SCs) have attracted much attention in the field of energy storage due to their high power density and long cycle life. However, their relatively low energy density limits their application in a wider range of fields. Methods to increase energy density include enhancing specific capacitance and extending operating voltage window. Herein, we report a novel electrolyte salt, tetramethylammonium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (TMA-FSI), the resulting electrolyte formed with propylene carbonate (PC), designated as TMF, exhibited a wide electrochemical stability window (ESW) of 5.09 V. On the one hand, we found that the small size of TMA⁺ enables it to enter the …

Oral Health Equivalent To Body Health, Ahmed Jameel Obayes, Abeer Mohammed Ali Al-Garawyi

Muthanna Medical Journal

Oral health comprises the palate, mouth and throat lining, tongue, lips, salivary glands, chewing muscles, nerves, and upper and lower jaw bones. Chronic mouth infections were related to ``diabetes, heart and lung disease, and stroke'' in a recent research. Our oral health influences our overall health. Understanding that tooth loss is usually caused by illness or injury rather than age is a crucial first step in preventing ``dental caries and periodontal disease''. This overview of evidence connects poor oral health to systemic disorders. A number of studies have shown a relationship between dental and general health, indicating ``poor oral health'' …

China Maritime Report #58: Tightening The Institutional Cage: The Pla Navy's Discipline Inspection Commission, Eric Hundman, Connor Akiyama

CMSI China Maritime Reports

Main Findings:

• The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) operates a pervasive system of discipline inspection commissions (DICs) spanning the Party and military hierarchy to enforce political discipline and loyalty.
• The PLAN headquarters DIC supervises a system of subordinate PLAN DIC organizations located in major units across the navy. Broadly speaking, that system is designed to enforce party discipline among PLAN personnel.
• The CCP’s specific priorities for discipline in the PLAN have shifted over the years, and they currently center on failure to adhere to (or succeed in implementing) political priorities, lax training, financial impropriety, and abuse of military benefits.
• Corruption in …

Makara Journal of Science

Hypothyroidism, characterized by insufficient thyroid hormone production, affects approximately 5% of the population, especially women, thus increasing pregnancy-related risks. Conventional screening mainly measures thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4). Detecting the presence of anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies indi-cates autoimmune thyroid disease. This study developed an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit for detecting circulating TPO using polyclonal antibodies generated in rabbits. TPO was isolated from positive sera of pa-tients with hypothyroidism, purified by electroelution, and confirmed as a 52-kDa protein by Western blot. Rabbits immunized with this protein produced polyclonal antibodies with the highest titer (OD = 0.334) at …

Integration Of The Kidney Failure Risk Equation To Guide Nephrology Referral In Adults With Chronic Hypertension, Shawn A. Siddiqi

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Chronic hypertension is an established risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Baseline chart review at a Texas family practice clinic showed inconsistent renal risk documentation, and providers did not use a standardized renal risk-stratification tool to guide nephrology referral. The aim of this quality improvement project was to implement a standardized Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) workflow to improve renal risk documentation, nephrology referral decision-making, and provider self-efficacy for adults with chronic hypertension over eight weeks. Lewin's Change Theory guided practice change, the Donabedian model guided quality evaluation, and the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle structured implementation. Three providers (one physician, …

Radical Right Ideologues In The Age Of Trump: Heralds Of Nihilism, By Ronald Beiner. Routledge, 2026. 160 Pages. $57.99. Isbn 978-1041126812, Joan Braune

Journal of Hate Studies

Philosopher Joan Braune reviews Ronald Beiner’s Radical Right Ideologues in the Age of Trump: Heralds of Nihilism, which examines how fascist ideologues such as Steve Bannon, Aleksandr Dugin, Jason Jorjani, and Costin Alamariu (known online as “Bronze Age Pervert”), invoke philosophers, including Plato, Nietzsche, and Heidegger, in their arguments. It also considers why traditional philosophy departments have hesitated to acknowledge the use of philosophers in right-wing movements and how Beiner manages the risk of validating fascism as intellectual by studying the topic.

On Christian Nationalism: Critical And Theological Perspectives, Edited By David M. Gides And Joan Braune. Routledge, 2026. Routledge Studies In Fascism And The Far Right. 406 Pages. $46.39 Isbn 978-1032805665, Kim Shively

Journal of Hate Studies

Anthropologist Kim Shively reviews On Christian Nationalism: Critical and Theological Perspectives, edited by David M. Gides, a theologian, and Joan Braune, a philosopher. Nineteen authors contribute essays on four topics: defining Christian nationalism, trends in the United States, international and comparative analyses, and theological responses to Christian nationalism. Christian nationalism is a platform for grievance, the contributors argue, and the theme of loss runs throughout the book: nostalgia for an imagined social history and loss or perceived loss of White privilege, with its attendant racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, sexism, and homophobia.
