Sodium/potassium-ion batteries are gaining interest due to their abundant resources and cost advantages. Alloy-based anode materials, such as phosphorus, tin, antimony, and bismuth, offer high theoretical capacities but face challenges like volumetric stress and capacity fading. Recent advances in nanostructure engineering, including 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D materials, have shown promise in improving the electrochemical performance of these anodes. Future research should focus on increasing the content of active substances, optimizing high-loading performance, and understanding the morphology evolution mechanisms to meet industrial application requirements.

The study investigates the use of hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) as a pretreatment method for landfill leachate to improve its biodegradability and reduce organic load. Conducted under basic pH conditions, the research evaluates the impact of various operating parameters on the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonium nitrogen (NH3-N), and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5/COD) in landfill leachate. The results indicate that an orifice plate with an annular orifice arrangement and an orifice opening rate of 0.0417 achieved the best COD removal rate of 22.63% and significantly improved biodegradability by 57.27%. The study concludes that HC is a cost-effective, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly pretreatment method that can enhance the effectiveness of subsequent biological treatments for landfill leachate.

The study sequenced 297 new genomes of indicine and taurine cattle, revealing higher genetic diversity in indicine cattle. It identified significant genetic adaptations in indicine cattle to various environmental conditions, including heat tolerance and disease resistance. The research highlighted the introgression of genes from wild bovine species into indicine cattle, aiding their adaptation to tropical and humid environments. The study also traced the historical migration patterns of indicine cattle, suggesting a coastal route for their entry into East Asia. The findings expand the understanding of genetic variants and evolutionary history of indicine cattle, emphasizing their adaptability and resistance to harsh conditions.

The study investigates the pile foundation underpinning structure system in urban overpasses, focusing on the use of epoxy resin reinforcing adhesive to improve the mechanical properties of the reinforced beam. The research includes experimental tests and finite element analysis to evaluate the load-carrying capacity, displacement changes, and overall performance of the underpinning structure. The findings highlight the effectiveness of the new construction method involving chiseling, prestressed reinforcement, and epoxy resin bonding, providing a solid foundation for future projects.

The study investigates the role of gibberellins (GAs) in the fruit development of Rosa roxburghii, revealing that GA3 application promotes fruit size, weight, prickle development, seed abortion, and ascorbic acid accumulation while reducing total soluble sugar. RNA-Seq analysis identified 4275 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in key metabolic pathways, hormone signaling, and transcription factors. The findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of GA action in R. roxburghii fruits, highlighting potential candidate genes for enhancing fruit quality and yield.

The study investigates the role of core fucosylation in regulating alveolar epithelial cells senescence and its impact on pulmonary fibrosis. It demonstrates that core fucosylation mediates the modification of TGF-βR I, a critical module in the TGF-β pathway, and regulates cell senescence induced by bleomycin both in vivo and in vitro. The research suggests that inhibition of cellular senescence by eliminating the FUT8 gene could attenuate pulmonary fibrosis, indicating that activated core fucosylation modification leads to cellular senescence in lung disorders with fibrosis.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal disorder with a poor prognosis, often associated with aging. This study investigates whether modifying core fucosylation (CF) can alleviate pulmonary fibrosis by targeting alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) senescence. Cellular senescence and CF modifications were confirmed in bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis mouse models. Both gain- and loss-of-function studies on CF demonstrated its role in promoting AECs senescence and triggering pulmonary fibrosis in vitro. Using FUT8 conditional knockout mouse models, it was shown that inhibiting cellular senescence by deleting the FUT8 gene could reduce pulmonary fibrosis in vivo. Blocking CF modification of the TGF-β type I receptor reduced the activation of downstream TGF-β pathways in AECs senescence both in vivo and in vitro, highlighting CF as a crucial target for pulmonary fibrosis treatment.

A retrospective study focused on the application of computer simulation in reconstructing severe bone defects in adult players with fibrous dysplasia. Conducted between August 2017 and December 2020, the study analyzed clinical histories of nine patients. The method involved importing imaging data to reconstruct models of affected limbs, allowing precise identification of lesion locations for curettage, bone graft calculations, and internal fixation comparisons. Results indicated that this method could shorten surgery time, minimize intraoperative trauma, and improve bone reconstruction efficacy. Despite complications in two patients, the technique shows promise in treating severe bone defects in adults, especially in sports contexts.

The article critiques Samuel Huntington's 'clash of civilizations' theory, arguing that it is based on fallacious assumptions and promotes Western-centrism. It emphasizes the importance of global cooperation, inclusivity, and mutual respect among different civilizations. Highlighting China's Global Civilization Initiative, the article advocates for promoting civilizational concepts that emphasize equality, dialogue, and mutual learning to ensure harmonious coexistence and global development.

Emmanuel Macron has been reelected as the President of France, marking the first successful reelection in nearly two decades. His victory has maintained political stability in France and Europe. Macron's second term ensures continuity in France's foreign policy towards China, although human rights remain a significant issue in Franco-Chinese and EU-China relations. Macron's previous visits to China and his stance on the Beijing Winter Olympics are noted. The EU-China investment deal, praised by KPMG but frozen by the European Parliament due to human rights concerns, is unlikely to progress. Experts from Institut Montaigne and the Swedish Institute of International Affairs believe human rights will continue to be a persistent issue in EU-China relations. Macron's internal challenges include winning a majority in the upcoming June national assembly elections, acknowledging that many voted for him to prevent the far-right from winning.

The French presidential election's second round could potentially shift the political balance in Europe and reshape France's relations with Russia and China, even affecting ties with Taiwan. The current France-China relationship is multifaceted, with China seen as a partner, competitor, and adversary in different contexts. Macron's potential re-election is viewed as maintaining a pragmatic stance towards China, balancing bilateral relations while supporting a tougher EU stance on issues like 5G, trade, and human rights. Le Pen's victory could introduce uncertainty, given her vows to confront China in the Indo-Pacific and preference for Russia over China. Her Eurosceptic stance could also weaken EU cohesion, which might indirectly benefit China's interests in Europe. The election outcome is pivotal for France and Europe, with traditional left-right political structures collapsing and the rise of extreme parties reflecting public dissatisfaction with mainstream politics.
