We benchmark the rSCAN and rSCAN exchange-correlation functionals by comparing the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) magnetic shieldings predicted by Density Functional Theory (DFT) to experimentally observed chemical shifts of halide and oxide inorganic compounds. Significant improvement in accuracy is achieved compared to the Generalised Gradient Approximation (GGA) at a marginally higher computational cost. When using rSCAN or rSCAN, the correlation coefficient between computationally predicted and experimental values approaches the theoretically expected value of -1 while reducing the deviation, allowing more accurate and reliable spectrum assignments of complex compounds in experimental investigations.

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.

Potassium germanium chloride (KGeCl) has emerged as a promising contender for use as an absorber material for lead-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs), offering significant potential in this domain. In this study, we conducted a density functional theory (DFT) investigation to analyze and assess the structural, electronic, thermomechanical, and optical characteristics of the cubic KGeCl absorber. The positive phonon dispersion curve confirmed the dynamical stability of KGeCl.

Comprehending the structure and dynamics of water is crucial in various fields, such as water desalination, ion separation, electrocatalysis, and biochemical processes. While reported works show that the molecular dynamics (AIMD) can accurately portray water's structure, the artificial high temperature (AHT) from 120 to 30 K is needed to mimic the quantum nature of hydrogen-bond network from GGA, metaGGA to hybrid functionals. The AHT proves to be an inadequate approach for systems involving aqueous multiphase mixtures, such as water-solid interfaces and aqueous solutions.

Aim: To determine the association between nurse and institutional characteristics and perceived professional nurse knowledge and self-efficacy of reporting child abuse and neglect.
Design: A sample of N = 166 nurses were recruited to respond to the Reporting of Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect (RSCAN) survey.
Methods: A multiple linear regression examined whether nurse characteristics and institutional characteristics were associated with the two RSCAN survey domain scores.
