Article Synopsis
- Core loss spectroscopies offer detailed insights into redox processes in Li-ion battery cathodes, necessitating precise interpretation of their spectral features, particularly the oxygen K-edge spectra of lithium transition-metal oxides (LiMO).
- Using density-functional theory (DFT), three exchange-correlation functionals were applied to simulate the spectra, with rSCAN showing a better alignment with experimental data compared to PBE and PBE +, especially for energies near the main edge.
- The study demonstrates that DFT can effectively link experimental spectroscopic signatures to theoretical models, revealing the impact of structural distortions, chemical composition, and magnetism on the differentiation of materials with similar structures and magnetic states.
Perspectives and insights of critical care clinicians, patients and families from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds around end-of-life care in an ICU: a scoping review protocol.
BMJ Open
November 2024
Objective: Protocol to explore what is known about communication between critical care providers and patients and families from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (defined as people who are either from minority ethnic groups, non-English-speaking backgrounds who may have diverse cultural, linguistic, spiritual and religious affiliations and opinions) about death, dying, end-of-life care and organ donation in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Introduction: Patients from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds experience barriers to optimised care when admitted to the ICU. These barriers appear to derive from differences in language, cultural, societal and ethical expectations between patients, their families and healthcare professionals.
Article Synopsis
- * Research indicates that bulk redox occurs in LiNiO through Ni-O rehybridization without involving trapped molecular oxygen, which is linked to surface degradation.
- * Degradation is characterized by oxygen removal upon discharge and persistent nickel reduction, suggesting the need for effective surface stabilization to improve LiNiO performance.
Background: Addressing Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) is essential for patient-centred care, shared decision making and improved health outcomes. Value-based health care systems in New South Wales (NSW) have a growing focus on collecting and using PROs that matter most to patients to improve their healthcare outcomes. Developing oral health patient reported outcomes measures (OH-PROM) is a first step towards value-based oral health care.

Purpose: There is limited information on preferences for place of care and death among patients with cancer in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The aim was to report the prevalence and determinants of preferences for end-of-life place of care and death among patients with cancer in LMICs and identify concordance between the preferred and actual place of death.
Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis guided by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses was conducted.
