Published: February 2023

HIV-related stigmas contribute to disparities, and contact with HIV-positive individuals has been suggested to reduce stigma. Faith-based organizations have been recognized as important to stigma reduction efforts among African American populations; however, relatively few church-based studies have measured HIV-related stigma. This study uses baseline data (N = 1,448) from a study with 14 African American churches in Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas, to examine correlates of HIV-related stigmas among church members and community members accessing church social services using two previously validated scales that measure discomfort interacting with individuals with HIV and anticipated stigma or rejection. Knowing someone with HIV was associated with lower discomfort, even after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and sexual risk, HIV knowledge, previous communication about HIV at church, and mean drug and homosexuality stigmas. Knowing someone with HIV was not associated with anticipated stigma or rejection after adjustment. Contact-based interventions hold promise for reducing discomfort around people with HIV among church-affiliated populations.
Character Perceptions of Storytellers: Investigating the Mediated Contact Hypothesis and Stories About Living With HIV
Authors: Smith Rachel A. , Osoro Ruth A.
Published: February 2023

Research into mediated contact hypothesis shows that exposure to people sharing their stories of living with a stigmatized condition can decrease negative stereotypes and improve willingness to engage in future interpersonal contact, but results are inconsistent. In this study, we offer novel reasons for why mediated intergroup contact can facilitate positive inter-group outcomes, by focusing on audience members’ perceptions of the storyteller's character (i.e., perceptions of attributes or features that make up an individual). Our model was tested (N = 369, U.S. adults) with video-recorded stories from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Let's Stop HIV Together campaign. The results showed that, as predicted, viewers’ perceptions of the storyteller's character as more fluid and more multidimensional predicted stronger transportation into the story, which predicted greater perceptions of group variability and more intergroup ease. Implications for character perceptions as mechanisms of contact effects, communication's role in shaping character perceptions, and reducing HIV stigma are discussed.
Identification of Novel Mutations Associated with Bedaquiline Resistance in Mycobacterium Marinum
Authors: Wang Longlong , Xu Yufan , Wang Zhe
Published: February 2023

Objective:

Because infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are rapidly increasing globally, a need exists for developing novel antibiotics and discovering the mechanism of resistance. This research was aimed at understanding the mechanism of bedaquiline resistance in the model NTM species Mycobacterium marinum (M. marinum).

Methods:

The Mycobacterium marinum M strain was subjected to mutant selection with different concentrations of BDQ. After three rounds of evolution, 58 BDQ-resistant mutants were isolated and subjected to WGS. The results were confirmed through PCR and Sanger sequencing.

Results:

We identified seven genetic mutations among these mutants. The highest drug resistance (6–10× MIC) was associated with a mutation in AtpB, the primary biochemical target of BDQ in Mtb. Numerous mutations and insertions mapped to the gene MMAR_1007(46/58), which encodes the homolog of Rv0678 (MmpR) in Mtb. More than 93% of mutants (54/58) contained a single mutation (G563A) in MMAR_4049, which encodes the integral membrane protein YrbE3A-1.

Conclusion:

Both target-based and efflux-based actions contribute to BDQ resistance in M. marinum. Our findings may aid in developing novel potent anti-NTM (BDQ-based) drug regimens and diagnostic assays for the detection of BDQ-resistant M. marinum.
Synaptotagmin 9 Modulates Spontaneous Neurotransmitter Release in Striatal Neurons by Regulating Substance P Secretion
Authors: Seibert Michael J. , Evans Chantell S. , Stanley Kevin S. , Wu Zhenyong , Chapman Edwin R.
Published: February 2023

Synaptotagmin 9 (SYT9) is a tandem C2 domain Ca2+sensor for exocytosis in neuroendocrine cells; its function in neurons remains unclear. Here, we show that, in mixed-sex cultures, SYT9 does not trigger rapid synaptic vesicle exocytosis in mouse cortical, hippocampal, or striatal neurons, unless it is massively overexpressed. In striatal neurons, loss of SYT9 reduced the frequency of spontaneous neurotransmitter release events (minis). We delved into the underlying mechanism and discovered that SYT9 was localized to dense-core vesicles that contain substance P (SP). Loss of SYT9 impaired SP release, causing the observed decrease in mini frequency. This model is further supported by loss of function mutants. Namely, Ca2+binding to the C2A domain of SYT9 triggered membrane fusionin vitro, and mutations that disrupted this activity abolished the ability of SYT9 to regulate both SP release and mini frequency. We conclude that SYT9 indirectly regulates synaptic transmission in striatal neurons by controlling SP release.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTSynaptotagmin 9 (SYT9) has been described as a Ca2+sensor for dense-core vesicle (DCV) exocytosis in neuroendocrine cells, but its role in neurons remains unclear, despite widespread expression in the brain. This article examines the role of SYT9 in synaptic transmission across cultured cortical, hippocampal, and striatal neuronal preparations. We found that SYT9 regulates spontaneous neurotransmitter release in striatal neurons by serving as a Ca2+sensor for the release of the neuromodulator substance P from DCVs. This demonstrates a novel role for SYT9 in neurons and uncovers a new field of study into neuromodulation by SYT9, a protein that is widely expressed in the brain.

Cerebral creatine deficiency syndrome (CCDS) is an inborn error of metabolism characterized by intellectual delays, seizures, and autistic-like behavior. However, the role of endogenously synthesized creatine on CNS development and function remains poorly understood. Here, magnetic resonance spectroscopy of adult mouse brains from both sexes revealed creatine synthesis is dependent on the expression of the enzyme, guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT). To identifyGamt-expressed cells, and howGamtaffects postnatal CNS development, we generated a mouse line by knocking-in a GFP, which is expressed on excision ofGamt. We found thatGamtis expressed in mature oligodendrocytes during active myelination in the developing postnatal CNS. Homozygous deletion ofGamtresulted in significantly reduced mature oligodendrocytes and delayed myelination in the corpus callosum. Moreover, the absence of endogenous creatine resulted in altered AMPK signaling in the brain, reduced brain creatine kinase expression in cortical neurons, and signs of axonal damage. Experimental demyelination in mice after tamoxifen-induced conditional deletion ofGamtin oligodendrocyte lineage cells resulted in delayed maturation of oligodendrocytes and myelin coverage in lesions. Moreover, creatine and cyclocreatine supplementation can enhance remyelination after demyelination. Our results suggest endogenously synthesized creatine controls the bioenergetic demand required for the timely maturation of oligodendrocytes during postnatal CNS development, and that delayed myelination and altered CNS energetics through the disruption of creatine synthesis might contribute to conditions, such as CCDS.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTCerebral creatine deficiency syndrome is a rare disease of inborn errors in metabolism, which is characterized by intellectual delays, seizures, and autism-like behavior. We found that oligodendrocytes are the main source of endogenously synthesized creatine in the adult CNS, and the loss of endogenous creatine synthesis led to delayed myelination. Our study suggests impaired cerebral creatine synthesis affects the timing of myelination and may impact brain bioenergetics.
Digital Editing Workshops for Building Campus Public History Communities and Developing Student Leaders
Authors: McCarl Clayton , Hemmingway Lyn
Published: February 2023

This paper presents an approach to designing editing workshops related to digital public history projects based on archival materials at institutions of higher learning. These events engage campus communities in the practice of public history and create opportunities for students interested in archives and digital humanities to develop professional skills. The model draws on the experiences of faculty, staff, and students who have contributed to Editing the Eartha M. M. White Collection, a pedagogically focused project that explores methods for the collaborative online publication of selected personal papers and correspondence of local African American leader Eartha M. M. White (1876–1974), held in the Special Collections of the Thomas G. Carpenter Library at the University of North Florida. Although this article focuses on designing workshops in the context of higher education, the model discussed can potentially be extended to other contexts beyond the campus.
The Practical Multidisciplinary Management of the Indeterminate Biliary Stricture and/or Dilatation -Radiological Differential Diagnosis: Challenging but Essential-
Authors: Oh Hyun Seok
Published: February 2023

The most important aspect of the imaging role for indeterminate bile duct stricture is to make a differential diagnosis on whether the stricture is highly likely to be malignant or benign. Compared to benign stricture, malignant stricture is longer, thicker, and has indistinct outer border and irregularity of the lumen in contrastenhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance (MR). Also, in the contrast-enhanced portal phase, malignant stricture has a stronger enhancement than the liver parenchyma. There are studies to differentiate between malignant and benign stricture in diffusion weighted image, a functional MR image, but there remains controversial. Sometimes, malignant biliary stricture may be caused by bile duct invasion of gallbladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, biliary metastasis, and lymphoma. Among the potential causes of indeterminate biliary stricture, the characteristics of multifocal biliary stricture mainly suggest benign sclerosing cholangitis, and various external compression factors that cause biliary stricture can be differentiated by radiologic imaging. There are causes of biliary dilatation without obstructive lesion, radiologic diagnosis can be made by considering various characteristics.

The Condensation of Islam and Nusantara’s Culture
Authors: Salapudin Moh , Rozi Masykur , Afham M. Fatihul
Published: February 2023

Islam in Nusantara has a unique character, which is the result of a long-term interaction process between religion and culture. Such condensation is crystallized in idea, conduct, and path. This article tries to elucidate the mixture process underwent in the light of cultural anthropology by relying on data contained in historical, social, and cultural sources. This study concludes that Islam-Nusantara condensation appeared in the form of politics, education, and culture, which is the result of the Islamization process. The manifestation of political condensation takes form in Islamic-Javanese kingship produced by Islamization efforts using power authority and Islamic theocracy. The appearance of educational condensation can be mirrored in santri community with its orthopraxy trend brought about by the enlightenment of ‘ulemas with their stronger religious orientation. The last is the cultural condensation identified in kejawen society which is caused by the syncretic approach of Islamization that combines Islamic Sufism and Javanese mysticism.
Intuition in Islamic and Contemporary Psychology
Authors: Aqil Rihab Said , Mujib Abdul
Published: February 2023

In the last two decades, the theme of intuition has increasingly attracted the attention of academics, including psychologists. The increasing interest of psychologists in intuition is because the process of judgment and decision-making within individuals often occurs outside of their conscious thinking. This happens when individuals face uncertain situations, time pressure, and complex, ambiguous, and even strange problems. Intuition is the capacity of the human soul to know or understand a matter automatically, effortless, and affectively without rational processes. Intuition in psychological studies is based on experiences and knowledge accumulated from the past and stored in memory. In contrast to the Islamic perspective, intuition (divine) is based on the experience of spiritual disclosure coming from divine gifts. This study uses a psychological approach with descriptive comparative analysis techniques to discuss intuition, its mechanisms and development, originating from two perspectives: Islam and contemporary psychology. This study constructs five types of intuition where spiritual intuition occupies the highest position, followed by moral, creative, expertise, and social intuition.

TAX SOVEREIGNTY: STATE RESISTANCE STRATEGY FOR MAINTAINING MARKET STABILITY AND NEOLIBERALISM IMPACT IN INDONESIA
Authors: Fadri Zainal
Published: February 2023

AbstractNeoliberalism developed rapidly in developing countries as a form of the implications of post-independence capital needs. Indonesia as a developing country is not immune from the influence of neoliberalism that leads into the world market and trade system, so that the country becomes quite weak in regulating existing economic patterns because of its dependence on capital-giving countries in the form of investment and control of strategic economic sectors. The method used is descriptive qualitative by searching manuscripts and literature about the influence of the market on the welfare of citizens and is equipped with materials regarding tax and sovereignty for the state. The results obtain that tax is a form of state resilience and firmness in suppressing hyper-exploitative market developments with the aim of welfare for all citizens. Taxes are used as a form of investor resistance in managing the economy with the hope of creating a regulation which can control the country's economy.Keywords: tax sovereignty; state; market; neoliberalismAbstrakNeoliberalisme bekembang secara pesat di negara-negara sedang berkembang sebagai bentuk implikasi dari kebutuhan modal pasca kemerdekaan. Indonesia sebagai negara sedang berkembang tidak luput dari pengaruh neoliberalisme yang menuntun masuk ke dalam sistem pasar dan perdagangan dunia, sehingga negara menjadi lemah dalam mengatur pola perekonomian yang ada karena ketergantungan atas negara-negara pemberi modal dengan bentuk investasi dan menguasai sektor-sektor perekonomian strategis. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan penelusuran naskah serta literatur mengenai pengaruh pasar terhadap kesejahteraan warga negara dan dilengkapi bahan-bahan mengenai pajak dan kedaulatan pajak bagi negara. Hasil yang didapatkan bahwa pajak merupakan suatu bentuk ketahanan dan ketegasan negara dalam menekan perkembangan pasar secara hipereksploitatif dengan tujuan kesejahteraan bagi seluruh warga negara.

Com o objetivo de expor e problematizar alguns perfis produzidos e publicados em livros por dois profícuos jornalistas, Eliane Brum e Fred Melo Paiva, esse trabalho apresenta, a partir do procedimento metodológico de análises de conteúdo e de narrativas, o modo como as narrativas jornalísticas são configuradas, tendo como base o aspecto relacional entre entrevistador e entrevistado, identificando ainda o caráter testemunhal do jornalismo e dos personagens retratados nesse contexto. Compreendendo esse processo como parte do jornalismo narrativo, que rompe com o tecnicismo ainda vigente em algumas produções, as análises mostram que há uma diversidade de personagens e abordagens, que evidenciam o jornalismo de testemunho por intermédio dos personagens/fontes, dos jornalistas e do próprio texto compartilhado.
Jornalismo de arredores: proposta teórico-prática para uma comunicação social dialética
Authors: Souza Maurini De
Published: February 2023

Este artigo parte do ponto de que grande parte da população mundial não é fonte do texto jornalístico tradicional nos meios de comunicação de massa, antes que estes conduzem-se por uma orientação mercadológica que os limita a porta-voz de anunciantes e dos que detém poder econômico, político e/ou intelectual. Propõe-se, portanto, como reportagem, e não crônica, o texto, decorrente de entrevista, que, mesmo fora dos formatos de pirâmide, traga à tona a vida e os fazeres da população calada pelo atual formato da seleção. É possível destacar três premissas para a proposta: o jornalismo deve se posicionar; a fonte, plural, deve ser vista como co-produtora da reportagem; e a forma como o jornalismo se apresenta deve ser repensada sob essa ótica social. Para apoiar a proposta, utiliza-se Genro Filho (1987), Tavares (2004), Oliveira (2011), Habermas (1984) e outros.
O espetáculo da telesolidariedade na TV do RN: uma análise do discurso assistencialista de Carlos Alberto de Sousa
Authors: Kneipp Valquíria Aparecida Passos , De Moraes Renato Ferreira
Published: February 2023

O artigo se propõe a uma análise de discurso do Programa Carlos Alberto, apresentado pelo mesmo enquanto político e empresário, fundador da TV Ponta Negra, em Natal-RN, que, no final dos anos 1980 e início dos anos 90, comandou um programa de auditório na emissora. O referencial teórico tem como base o conceito de esquecimento de Orlandi (1999) e de Pêcheux (2014), da escola Francesa de AD, com metodologia de análise proposta por Souza (2014). A partir das marcas discursivas do apresentador e do contexto socioeconômico, considera-se que as provas de solidariedade do herói carismático apontado por Weber (2004) ao cidadão-vítima descrito por Charaudeau (2010) e o mecenismo cultural do apresentador são parte de uma estratégia de exposição midiática, que inclui uma inserção pedagógica de mensagens políticas embutidas nas emissões televisivas de entretenimento. Com raros episódios de espontaneidade, os afetos são estrategicamente encenados numa narrativa de entretenimento e assistencialismo com fins políticos e empresariais, culminando num discurso capitalista, conservador, machista e discriminatório, com traços do grotesco.
A tradição oral por trás da perícope da mulher adúltera e a pena de morte
Authors: Gomes Silvio Cezar José Pereira , Carneiro Marcelo Da Silva
Published: February 2023

Em uma época em que o cristianismo ultraconservador defende armamentos e morte de “indesejados”, a perícope da mulher adúltera (Jo 7,53-8,1-11) pode apontar para uma tradição oral que pode revelar uma comunidade que segue o caminho oposto. Trata-se de um texto que não faz parte da obra joanina original. Tendo sido incluída após ou durante o IV século. Contudo, há registros do conhecimento de uma história similar antes mesmo dessa introdução no texto do evangelho de João. Essas duas histórias são herdeiras de uma anterior? Este trabalho procurará não apenas responder a esta questão, mas, também, propor um contexto social onde a tradição oral mãe pode ser inserida.

Jesus, Hélio e Mitra: como os rituais de magia contribuíram para a expansão do cristianismo primitivo
Authors: Veiga Daniel Soares
Published: February 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é demonstrar que os primeiros cristãos apelavam para práticas de magia, nas quais Jesus foi associado com a figura do deus-sol. Este, por sua vez, ganhou espaço na religiosidade popular através da expansão do mitraísmo. Esta aproximação do cristianismo com o culto à divindade solar por meio de rituais mágicos foi fundamental para o sucesso do proselitismo cristão. A metodologia empregada consiste na análise de textos papirológicos contendo fórmulas mágicas de proteção contra inimigos externos, onde o nome de Jesus é mencionado em correlação com outras divindades, em especial com a divindade solar conhecida como Hélio.
Jordbundna erfarenheter, kunskaper och kopplingar om väder och klimat
Authors: Halvars Bodil , Moberg Emilie
Published: February 2023

Föreliggande studie har som syfte att undersöka vilka kunskaper och erfarenheter som förskollärare lyfter fram i samtal kring förskolebarns utforskande av väder och klimat som naturvetenskapliga fenomen. Det empiriska materialet omfattas av deltagande observationer vid ett nätverksmöte med förskollärare som under läsåret 2020/2021 har temat väder och klimat. Med hjälp av begreppen ”terrestrial” och ”natur-kultur” hämtade från Donna Haraway och Bruno Latour görs analyser av förskollärarnas samtal. Studien visar att de kunskaper och erfarenheter som förskollärare lyfter fram som handlar om kroppsliga upplevelser av natur och väder, men även om en medvetenhet om och kunskap kring människans del i ekologin. Studien visar utöver detta vilka didaktiska frågor och överväganden som aktualiseras i förskollärares samtal om barns utforskande av väder och klimatsamt belyser frågan om att göra och synliggöra kopplingar kring naturvetenskapliga fenomen. I relation till tidigare forskning om didaktiska överväganden inom naturvetenskaplig undervisning i en antropocen tid problematiseras den polariserade frågan om att ”lära-om” kontra att ”lära-med” natur och väder i en förskolekontext.
The Family After the Prenatal Death of a Child. Theological and Moral Aspects
Authors: Dziedzic Jan
Published: February 2023

The article is aimed at introducing the reader to the issue of the death of a child in the prenatal period and explaining difficult theological and moral aspects. The following issues are discussed: (1) The death of a child in the prenatal period, (2) The moral delimmas of the mother after her baby’s death (3) The duty to respect the body of a deceased child, (4) The moral duty to support the bereaved family. Miscarriage is most often due to a chromosomal abnormality (approximately 60–80% of cases) or other embryo/ foetal problems and is rarely based on choices made by women. After the death of the child, one must remember to respect the corpse. The basic moral obligation towards the deceased body is its dignified burial. The funeral of a stillborn child is not only an expression of the respect for the deceased child, but also is important for the family. It is very often the key to going through the mourning, and the basis of Christian comfort. The presented article will help the reader better understand the problems of the family after the loss of a child, provide answers to the moral dilemmas arising in this context and to teach the right attitudes towards people experiencing mourning after the loss of a loved one.
Prey items of Southern Fiscal Lanius collaris in southern Namibia
Authors: Cunningham (Snr) Peter L , Cunningham (Jnr) Peter L
Published: February 2023

Although Southern Fiscals Lanius collaris are a common species in southern Namibia, we found only 18 impalements of prey items. We discuss these in relation to the species impaled, the site of impalement, the height above ground and the time of the year. We suggest that the small number of observations was due to the fact that the study period (July 2017 to June 2022) had below average rainfall, that food was therefore scarce and consumed, and that impalements events were rare.

Introduction: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the most common heart valve disorder, defined by a remodeling multistep process: namely, valve fibrosis with its area narrowing, impaired blood flow, and final calcification phase. Nowadays, the only treatment is the surgical valve replacement. As for other cardiovascular diseases, growing evidence suggest an active role of the immune system in the calcification process that could be modulated by the microbiota. To address this point, we aimed to investigate and characterize, for the first time, the presence of a valve microbiota and associated immune response in human CAVD. Method: Calcified aortic valve (CAV) samples from twenty patients (11 from Germany and 9 from Italy) with diagnosis of severe symptomatic CAVD were used to assess the presence of infiltrating T cells, by cloning approach, and to characterize the valve microbiota, by 16S rRNA gene sequencing (NGS). Results: We documented the presence of infiltrating T lymphocytes, especially the T helper subset, in CAV samples. Moreover, we found a tissue-associated microbiota in freshly collected CAV samples, which was significantly different in Italian and German patients, suggesting potential correlation with other cardiovascular risk factors. Conclusion: The presence of microbiota in inflamed CAV samples represents the right trigger point to explain the valve calcification process, encouraging further studies to explore the potential link between bacteria and adaptive immune response and to define the critical role of local microbiota-immunity axis on CAVD development.

The paper represents results of longterm analysis of the state of the Pacific salmon stocks in Kamchatka River. It is admitted, that high-level effects of fisheries resulted in degradation of the spawning stock (stock abundance) of major local salmon stock units in the basin of Kamchatka River. Commercial importance and previous reproduction potential of all Pacific salmon species has been lost in the mediate and upper parts of the river. This situation was especially noticable in 2018–2020.In view of the trend in the dynamics of salmon stocks in the Kamchatka scientists of KamchatNIRO suggested additional measures of fishery regulation in the Kamchatsky Gulf and Kamchatka River basin. A target strategy of management of fishing Pacific salmon in Kamchatka River was developed as a result, including a complex of limitations to start fishing (catches), a system of stop-fishing days and periods of full stop fishing to provide escapement for spawning.Moreover, regular annual biological monitoring of Pacific salmon of Kamchatka River, provided by KamchatNIRO, was noticeably strengthened with additional hydroacoustic counting and control fishing at the fishery plot № 832. Hydrological-hydroacoustic surveys in Kamchatka Gulf began in 2018 also were to improve the regional scientific monitoring.Results of the surveys 2019–2021 allowed to evaluate current effects of hydrological regime and fishing in Kamchatka Gulf on formation of salmon spawning stocks in Kamchatka River. It has been found, that the changes of the morphodynamics of the Kamchatka River mouth in 2021 resulted in wider area of freshwater effects in Kamchatka Gulf. That was a trigger of redistribution of prespawning salmon aggregations on their migration routs to the river mouth, what eased press of fishing in the area of plots of marine fixed gill nets. In this way the spawning escapement of Pacific salmon into the basin of Kamchatka River this year increased.

The paper presents results of the study of genetic variability in Bolshaya River sockeye salmon by 7 microsatellite loci. A complex hierarchical organization is shown for the stock in the Bolshaya River basin. Different temporal groupings (early and late races in Nachikinskoe Lake) and ecological forms (riverine and lakustrine) were identified in this locality based on the analysis of microsatellite variability data.
An Insight into the Salutary Prospect of the Probiotic Microorganisms for the Remediation of Mercury Toxicity
Authors: Bhattacharya Sanjib
Published: February 2023

Heavy metal toxicity imposes a potential worldwide threat to environment and humans. Mercury toxicity is regarded as a serious global community health risk, as there is no particular and proven treatment for chronic mercury toxicity. Probiotics include the live apathogenic microorganisms, which are administered orally to revamp the gut microbial equilibrium thus bestowing benefit to the host. Scientific literature demonstrates different probiotic microorganisms can obviate mercurey toxicity. The present article puts together the experiments on probiotics with mercury toxicity alleviation effects in pursuit of the mechanistic hypotheses. Literature scrutiny was performed by using online bibliographic databases. Literature survey revealed that, eight types of probiotic microorganisms demonstrated significant protection from mercury toxicity in experimental pre-clinical studies. Clinical investigation with noteworthy outcome was not reported yet. Results of these studies indicate that probiotic microorganisms may hold the promise in amelioration and therapeutics of mercury toxicity. Probiotic supplementation may serve as a dietary therapeutic approach against mercurials along with extant therapies.

Authors: Chesterton Douglas , Watford Michael
Published: February 2023

A 183 t conical concrete roof of a cylindrical anaerobic digester tank at a UK sewage treatment works had to be lifted 150 mm to repair the seal underneath it. Due to limited space for a crane, an incremental hydraulic jacking procedure was used, with 32 bottle jacks in pockets cored out from the top of the concrete tank wall. This paper describes the temporary works design methodology, the extensive planning for risk mitigation, the practical implementation strategy and the lessons learned from using this safe and cost-effective approach.

The present study was aimed at converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added products such as methanol, which can provide not only a potential solution for controlling the carbon dioxide concentration level in the atmosphere but also can offer an alternative approach for the production of renewable energy sources. From this perspective, various hybrid photoelectrocatalysts were synthesized, characterized and used as photocathodes for photoelectrochemical (PEC) reduction of carbon dioxide to methanol in an aqueous medium under visible light irradiation. Flat silicon (Si) and pyramidal textured silicon (SiPY) substrates, covered with polyaniline (PANI) with or without sensitization with copper (I) oxide (Cu2O) particles, were investigated. It was observed that the combination of PANI and copper (I) oxide greatly increased PEC carbon dioxide reduction to methanol owing to the enhancement in the carbon dioxide chemisorption capacity by the photocathode surface and at the same time facilitated the separation of photogenerated electron–hole (e−/h+) pairs. The PEC results demonstrated that the applied potential impacts the photocurrent stability. Sensitization with copper (I) oxide effectively separated the photogenerated e−/h+ pairs and, therefore, enhanced the PEC carbon dioxide reduction activity of the hybrid photocatalyst. The best faradaic efficiency for methanol formation reached 57.66%, which was recorded when the copper (I) oxide/PANI/SiPY heterostructure was used as a photocathode at an applied potential of −1.2 V against the saturated calomel electrode.
