TL;DR: An outlook is presented on what will be required to drive this young photovoltaic technology towards the next major milestone, a 10% power conversion efficiency, considered by many to represent the efficiency at which OPV can be adopted in wide-spread applications.
Abstract: Solution-processed bulk-heterojunction solar cells have gained serious attention during the last few years and are becoming established as one of the future photovoltaic technologies for low-cost power production. This article reviews the highlights of the last few years, and summarizes today's state-of-the-art performance. An outlook is given on relevant future materials and technologies that have the potential to guide this young photovoltaic technology towards the magic 10% regime. A cost model supplements the technical discussions, with practical aspects any photovoltaic technology needs to fulfil, and answers to the question as to whether low module costs can compensate lower lifetimes and performances.

TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging of Ultimatum Game players was used to investigate neural substrates of cognitive and emotional processes involved in economic decision-making and significantly heightened activity in anterior insula for rejected unfair offers suggests an important role for emotions in decision- making.
Abstract: The nascent field of neuroeconomics seeks to ground economic decisionmaking in the biological substrate of the brain. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging of Ultimatum Game players to investigate neural substrates of cognitive and emotional processes involved in economic decision-making. In this game, two players split a sum of money;one player proposes a division and the other can accept or reject this. We scanned players as they responded to fair and unfair proposals. Unfair offers elicited activity in brain areas related to both emotion (anterior insula) and cognition (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex). Further, significantly heightened activity in anterior insula for rejected unfair offers suggests an important role for emotions in decision-making.

TL;DR: The largest declines in risk exposure from 2010 to 2019 were among a set of risks that are strongly linked to social and economic development, including household air pollution; unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing; and child growth failure.

TL;DR: Despite an increased frequency of early symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, treatment with IA r-proUK within 6 hours of the onset of acute ischemic stroke caused by MCA occlusion significantly improved clinical outcome at 90 days.
Abstract: ContextIntravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator can be beneficial to some
patients when given within 3 hours of stroke onset, but many patients present
later after stroke onset and alternative treatments are needed.ObjectiveTo determine the clinical efficacy and safety of intra-arterial (IA)
recombinant prourokinase (r-proUK) in patients with acute stroke of less than
6 hours' duration caused by middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion.DesignPROACT II (Prolyse in Acute Cerebral Thromboembolism II), a randomized,
controlled, multicenter, open-label clinical trial with blinded follow-up
conducted between February 1996 and August 1998.SettingFifty-four centers in the United States and Canada.PatientsA total of 180 patients with acute ischemic stroke of less than 6 hours'
duration caused by angiographically proven occlusion of the MCA and without
hemorrhage or major early infarction signs on computed tomographic scan.InterventionPatients were randomized to receive 9 mg of IA r-proUK plus heparin
(n = 121) or heparin only (n = 59).Main Outcome MeasuresThe primary outcome, analyzed by intention-to-treat, was based on the
proportion of patients with slight or no neurological disability at 90 days
as defined by a modified Rankin score of 2 or less. Secondary outcomes included
MCA recanalization, the frequency of intracranial hemorrhage with neurological
deterioration, and mortality.ResultsFor the primary analysis, 40% of r-proUK patients and 25% of control
patients had a modified Rankin score of 2 or less (P
= .04). Mortality was 25% for the r-proUK group and 27% for the control group.
The recanalization rate was 66% for the r-proUK group and 18% for the control
group (P<.001). Intracranial hemorrhage with neurological
deterioration within 24 hours occurred in 10% of r-proUK patients and 2% of
control patients (P = .06).ConclusionDespite an increased frequency of early symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage,
treatment with IA r-proUK within 6 hours of the onset of acute ischemic stroke
caused by MCA occlusion significantly improved clinical outcome at 90 days.
