Surface acoustic wave resonators based on (002)AlN/Pt/diamond/silicon layered structure
Performance of surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators based on (002)AlN/Pt/diamond/silicon layered structure is demonstrated. Three resonators with different wavelengths and center frequencies in the GHz range are designed and constructed without using submicron device fabrication processes, due to the high acoustic velocity of the layered structure. The enhanced performance of the SAW resonator by introducing a thin metal layer between the diamond and AlN layers is demonstrated theoretically and experimentally. Dependence of the SAW propagation characteristics on the normalized AlN film thickness is determined and the experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. In particular, for the 1st wave mode, a very high SAW velocity of 13,656m/s and an electromechanical coupling coefficient of 0.37% are obtained. These results demonstrate that the (002)AlN/Pt/diamond/silicon layered structure is very promising for high-frequency SAW device applications.
•AlN/Pt/diamond/Si structure is presented for surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices.•Higher coupling efficient than traditional structure is obtained experimentally.•SAW resonators with working frequencies larger than 1GHz are realized

Students' attitudes towards Facebook and online professionalism: subject discipline, age and gender differences
The aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes towards the use of Facebook and online professionalism among students studying three health and social care courses at a UK university. The increasing popularity of social networking sites (SNS) has changed the way people manage information about their personal and professional lives. Previous studies have considered how medical students use Facebook, but there is a paucity of research looking at other professional disciplines; either individually or exploring whether there are inter-professional differences. An anonymous online survey was completed by 595 students at one UK university; pharmacy (n = 91, 15%), social work (n = 166, 28%) and nursing students (n = 338, 57%) across all years of the courses. Significant differences were found with regard to attitudes towards Facebook and online professionalism between the subject disciplines, year of study, age and gender of the students. Findings suggest more education and guidance is needed to provide students with the appropriate knowledge of how to maintain professionalism in an online context
Context is everything: supporting young people taking medication for arthritis
Focal points: the aim of this abstract is to describe the psychosocial context of medicine-taking for young people living with arthritis; family partnerships, relationships with peers, and the demands of school life all impact significantly on the medicine-taking practices of young people;to be able to provide meaningful advice and services for young people, pharmacists must consider the psychosocial contextual factors in young people's lives that influence medicine-taking; better communication with the local rheumatology team, and an understanding of their prescribing practice, would equip pharmacists to support young people with JIA
