The KP nanowires with one-dimensional properties has a defect-free surface, high anisotropy, and carrier mobility which is desirable for the development of novel nanodevices. However, the preparation of nanoscale KP is still inefficient. In this work, the Hansen solubility parameters of KP were first obtained. Based on the Hansen's empirical theory, the concentration of liquid-exfoliated KP nanowires was improved to 0.0458 mg·mL by a solution containing 50% water and 50% acetone. Approximately 79% of the KP nanowires had a thickness value below 50 nm and 60.9% of them had a width value below 100 nm. The thinnest KP nanowires reached 5.1 nm and had smooth boundaries. Meanwhile, strong temperature-dependent Raman response in exfoliated KP nanowires has been observed, which indicates a strong phonon-phonon coupling in those nanowires. This is helpful for non-invasive temperature measurements of KP nanodevices.

Background: Governments and policy makers struggle to achieve a balance between hierarchical steering and horizontal governance in systems characterized by fragmented decision authority and multiple interests. To realize its One Citizen-One Journal eHealth policy vision, the Norwegian government established a special eHealth board of stakeholders to create an inclusive governance model that aligned stakeholders' interests with the government's ambitions through coordination and consensus. Little empirical knowledge exists on how countries realize inclusive governance models.

Parkinson's disease is characterized by motor and cognitive deficits. While previous work suggests a relationship between both, direct empirical evidence is scarce or inconclusive. Therefore, we examined the relationship between walking features and executive functioning in patients with Parkinson's disease using state-of-the-art machine learning approaches.

The collective dynamics of self-organised systems emerge from the decision rules agents use to respond to each other and to external forces. This is evident in groups of animals under attack from predators, where understanding collective escape patterns requires evaluating the risks and rewards associated with particular social rules, prey escape behaviour, and predator attack strategies. Here, we find that the emergence of the 'fountain effect', a common collective pattern observed when animal groups evade predators, is the outcome of rules designed to maximise individual survival chances given predator hunting decisions.

Objective: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) renders many bacterial infections untreatable and results in substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. Understanding antibiotic use in clinical settings including hospitals is critical to optimize antibiotic use and prevent resistance.
Design: Hospital antibiotic point prevalence survey (PPS).
