“…Nonetheless, using the ReaxFF interatomic potential Dong et al [57] reported distinctly higher thermal conductivities of 111.9 and 50.9 W/mK, respectively, for the single-layer s-C 3 N 4 and t-C 3 N 4 . Discrepancy between estimations by different classical interatomic potentials is a common issue/challenge when employing the classical MD simulations [44,[58][59][60][61]. However, despite quantitative differences these results comparatively show that when the linkage is made of a single N atom, the type of cores strongly affect the thermal conductivity.…”

“…Mechanical properties are among the most critical properties of any material for the design of nanodevices [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54]. We finally study the mechanical properties of boron monochalcogenides predicted in this work.…”

In this short communication, we conducted first-principles calculations to explore the stability of boron monochalcogenides (BX, X = S, Se or Te), as a new class of two-dimensional (2D) materials. We predicted BX monolayers with two different atomic stacking sequences of ABBA and ABBC, referred in this work to 2H and 1T, respectively. Analysis of phonon dispersions confirm the dynamical stability of BX nanosheets with both 2H and 1T atomic lattices. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations reveal the outstanding thermal stability of all predicted monolayers at high temperatures over 1500 K. BX structures were found to exhibit high elastic modulus and tensile strengths. It was found that BS and BTe nanosheets can show high stretchability, comparable to that of graphene. It was found that all predicted monolayers exhibit semiconducting electronic character, in which 2H structures present lower band gaps as compared with 1T lattices. The band-gap values were found to decrease from BS to BTe. According to the HSE06 results, 1T-BS and 2H-BTe show, respectively, the maximum (4.0 eV) and minimum (2.06 eV) electronic band gaps. This investigation introduces boron monochalcogenides as a class of 2D semiconductors with remarkable thermal, dynamical, and mechanical stability.

“…Chronic pain has a negative effect on individuals’ physical health. It has been observed that individuals with chronic pain are more likely to have activity restrictions over time [ 7 ]. It was shown that the untreated pain in elderly people could have a general effect on their quality of life and lead to depression, anxiety, social isolation, cognitive impairment, immobility, and sleep disorders [ 8 ] [ 9 ].…”

BACKGROUND:Osteoarthritis is one of the chronic diseases that greatly affect the health and life quality of individuals.AIM:This study aimed to determine the effect of self-management educational program on the pain intensity of the elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis.METHODS:In a randomised clinical trial, a total of 82 elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received six sessions of self-management group education, while the control group received only the routine care during this period. In both groups, patients’ pain intensity, with a visual analogue scale (VAS), were assessed before, immediately after and eight weeks after the start of the study.RESULTS:The mean pain intensity scores of the intervention and control groups were not significantly different before the intervention (P = 0.9), but after the intervention, the mean pain intensity score in the intervention group (3.61 ± 2.36) was significantly lower than that of the control group (4.93 ± 2.00), (P < 0.0001).CONCLUSION:Implementation of a self-management program for the patients with knee osteoarthritis is useful in reducing their pain intensity and can be used as one of the effective methods for their empowerment.
