Owing to the long-term acceptability principle of geography, emotion has always been in a relatively marginal position in the study of geography. With the emotional turn of western geography, the research of human-centered "emotional relationship" has gradually attracted great attention from domestic and foreign scholars. To grasp the research ideas, research methods, research hotspots, research progress, and key scientific issues of research in emotional geography of domestic and foreign scholars, this study used the bibliometric method to sort out, summarize, and condense 265 foreign language documents and 248 Chinese documents with the theme of "emotional geography" from 1992 to 2020. The study discussed the quantitative relationship, temporal and spatial distribution rules, distribution characteristics, and characteristics of emotional geographic literature at home and abroad. Gephi software was used to visually present research cases at home and abroad, and Citespace software was used to analyze the co-occurrence knowledge graph of keywords in the literature and to clear the research hotspots of emotional geography at home and abroad. The connotation and significance of the research have been explained, and the research prospects are put forward. The study concluded that the key scientific issues of emotional geography include five aspects: constructing a theoretical model of emotional geography with Chinese characteristics, establishing a sound system of emotional geography research methods, promoting the integration and interdisciplinary research of emotional geography and other disciplines, exploring the operating mechanism and practice path of emotional geography for stabling emotions, peace of mind, and understanding society, and studying the impact mechanism of human emotional needs on the construction of local space. There were many research topics at home and abroad, and foreign research hotspots mainly focused on politics, education, gender and climate, whereas domestic research focused on sense of place, tourism, and residents. After nearly 30 years of research on emotional geography at home and abroad, it can be divided into three stages: initiation, expansion, and volatility growth. Research methods have also gone through three stages: from qualitative descriptive analysis to the combination of qualitative and quantitative, innovative and diversified quantitative methods, and collaborative qualitative research. Academia has reached a consensus on the three-dimensionality of "person, emotion, place (space)," but only a few scholars have defined the concept of emotional geography. Thus far, cognition has not been unified, hindering the research process of emotional geography. Based on the complex patterns of emotional geography, time-complex processes, and time-space complex features, follow-up research is needed to collaboratively couple with multidisciplinary theories and methods to find a scientific, typical, representative, and practical theoretical system. There is also a need for qualitative and quantitative research methods combining with the analysis of cultural self-confidence, rural revitalization, homesickness, and uniquely Chinese characteristics of "emotional relationship" and other social hot topics, to provide valuable and scientifically based references for follow-up emotional geography research, expand scholars' research horizons, promote the theoretical and systematic research of emotional geography with Chinese characteristics, improve the academic influence and discourse power of emotional geography, and serve mankind better.

Objective: This review explores recent advancements in anesthesia care, focusing on the integration of innovative practices to enhance patient outcomes across the perioperative period. Methods: Following the framework of Whitmore and Knafl, we systematically searched six databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, CINAHL, OVID, and Cochrane Library) for studies published from January 2020 to January 2024, relating to advancements in anesthesia care, best practice implementation, and patient outcomes. After independent screening and data extraction by two reviewers, the review focuses on innovations in anesthetic drugs, monitoring technologies, anesthesia techniques, and evidence-based practices in anesthesia and clinical guidelines. Results: Of the 25,984 studies retrieved, 26 met inclusion criteria. Recent developments in anesthetic drugs have improved safety and efficacy, reducing complications. Advanced monitoring devices, such as multiparameter and brain function monitors, have enhanced patient safety through real-time assessments. Innovations in regional anesthesia and ultrasound-guided nerve blocks have led to better pain management, reduced recovery time, and minimized morbidity. Additionally, evidence-based practices like comprehensive preoperative assessment, patient education, and multidisciplinary teamwork significantly improved patient outcomes. Conclusion: Integrating the latest innovations and best practices in anesthesia care is essential for optimizing patient outcomes. Ongoing research and adoption of advanced technologies are crucial to addressing current challenges and enhancing anesthesia quality. This review emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach from preoperative preparation to postoperative recovery to achieve optimal patient outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Suppressing the interfacial energy losses of the buried hole-selective layer (HSL) is essential to upgrade the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this regard, innovations in hole-extraction materials featuring self-assembled molecule (SAM) characteristics show great potential. Herein, two SAMs of C-2PACz and S-2PACz based on phenyl- and thienyl-substituted carbazole units, respectively, were developed to serve as multifunctional HSLs. The pendant phenyl and thienyl units increase the dipole moment of the SAMs as compared to that of the standard control 2PACz, which was used to efficiently modulate the work function of ITO and form desirable energy level alignments with a perovskite absorber. C-2PACz and S-2PACz SAMs possess greater capability to passivate the interface defects of a perovskite absorber, especially S-2PACz, due to the electrostatic interaction between the under-coordinated Pb2+ and S of thiophene. C-2PACz and S-2PACz with increased conjugation also show higher conductivity to promote charge transport. Moreover, HSLs based on C-2PACz and S-2PACz form a template for the crystallization of the perovskite layer to achieve more dense and uniform crystalline grains and higher crystallinity. Owing to the above-mentioned synergistic effects, C-2PACz- and S-2PACz-derived solar cells exhibit low non-radiative recombination loss, higher PCEs and enhanced stability compared to the control device with 2PACz.

All-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) show great promise for use as portable and wearable electronic power sources. It is well recognized that a gradient distribution of the two components of the active layer of all-PSCs is preferred to facilitate charge transport and suppress non-radiative recombination loss. Herein, two polymers of PBS-DIT and PTPH-DIT were designed and synthesized by changing the linking mode of a benzothiophene side chain located on a benzodithiophene (BDT) skeleton, and the influences of isomerization on the blend morphology and device performance were investigated. PBS-DIT with the BDT moiety linked to the benzene ring of benzothiophene exhibited stronger solution aggregation, better tolerance to heat processing, and finer compatibility with the acceptor of N2200. Besides, PBS-DIT induced its desirable vertical phase distribution while PTPHT-DIT was uniformly distributed over the vertical direction. Benefiting from more efficient charge transfer, higher and balanced charge transport, and less recombination loss, the all-PSCs with PBS-DIT afforded a PCE of 7.76% which is much higher than 5.31% for the blend of PTPH-DIT:N2200. The results indicate that the building block of BDT linked to the benzene ring of the benzothiophene substituent is more promising than its counterpart of BDT linked to the thiophene ring of the benzothiophene substituent. Furthermore, isomerization can be a simple yet effective method to modulate the intermolecular miscibility and vertical phase distribution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
