Published: November 2021

Abstract. The disposal of spent nuclear fuels and high-level radioactive wastes in deep
geological repositories represents one of the greatest scientific-technical
and societal challenges of our times. Most disposal concepts rely on a
multibarrier system, consisting of a combination of engineered materials,
geotechnical and geological barriers to provide a safe containment of the
radioactive waste to protect humans and the environment against dangers
arising from ionizing radiation. A reliable safety assessment of a deep
geological repository over assessment time scales of several 100 000 years
requires a profound and comprehensive understanding of the complex coupled
physical (thermal, hydraulic, mechanical), chemical and biogeochemical
(THM/CB) processes that govern the long-term evolution of the repository
system. As a result of thermal and chemical gradients at the interfaces of different
components and materials of the multi-barrier system (e.g. interfaces between
metallic waste containers and bentonite backfill or between structural
concrete and clay host rock), mineral dissolution and precipitation reactions
are promoted; thus the (local) porosity, the volume filled with gas and/or
water, can increase or decrease leading to changes in the macroscopic
transport properties of the respective media. Although a reduction of the
porosity (porosity clogging) appears to be desirable to inhibit radionuclide
migration, it can also be detrimental, particularly in the case of gas
pressure build-up due to canister corrosion or bacterial activity. So far, porosity clogging at barrier interfaces and associated consequences on
solute or gas transport remain poorly understood; currently used mathematical
descriptions of porosity clogging in reactive transport codes usually fail to
capture respective experimental observations (Chagneau et al., 2015; Deng et
al., 2021). In this context, we are developing a “lab-on-a-chip” set-up,
which combines time lapse optical microscopy imaging and in operando Raman
spectroscopy (Poonoosamy et al., 2019, 2020) to determine
(i) whether complete clogging is possible and permanent, (ii) which parameters
control the porosity clogging and (iii) which changes in transport properties
of porous media are induced due to porosity clogging. Our approach comprises
micronized counterdiffusion experiments with in situ visualization and
monitoring of the evolution of mineralogy and microstructure/pore architecture
with time. Complementary pore scale modelling will be used to derive key
relationships that describe changes in transport properties due to mineral
precipitation-induced porosity clogging. This approach will help to improve
reactive transport codes and their predictive capabilities thus enhancing
confidence and reduce uncertainties in long-term predictions, leading to more
realistic descriptions of the evolution of complex repository systems.
Explanations for the development of a novel universally inside pipe separator for dismantling (contaminated) pipelines
Authors: Bachmann Madeleine , Gentes Sascha 
Published: November 2021

Abstract. During the operation and dismantling of nuclear facilities, individual
pipelines must always be removed due to leaks because of the end of their maximum service life or the dismantling of the plant. In practice, this activity, which at first glance appears simple, is associated with many challenges due to limited space or the fact that the pipelines run through walls, despite various solutions that are available on the market. Therefore, the aim of the joint research project “RoTre” (Development of a novel universally inside pipe separator for dismantling contaminated pipelines) between KIT, Siempelkamp NIS Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH and RWE Nuclear GmbH is the
development of an innovative and competitive inside pipe
separator for use in decommissioning
and dismantling of nuclear facilities with a wide range of applications for
various pipe diameters, wall strengths and materials (Fig. 1). An amendment
will be the forward cleaning, whereby metal chips or other components can be captured continuously. Besides the dismantling in areas which are difficult to access, such as pipelines set in concrete or pipelines that cannot be drilled over their full length, dismantling should be possible in air and under water. After application, the system can be decontaminated. In order to separate pipes made out of different materials with various wall thicknesses, the development of a universally applicable test stand is planned in order to achieve the scientific work objectives. Among other things, it should be determined whether a sawing or an abrasive cutting process is more suitable for cutting inside pipes. Building on this, the parameters of the separation process are
tested in a parameter study to achieve the smallest possible process forces
with a universal applicability. Relevant parameters are the geometry
parameters of the cutting unit like the saw tooth shape, the composition of
the cutting wheel, as well as the process parameters in the form of infeed,
cutting speed and tool speed. The cutting quality achieved by the different
tools with the setting of the machine parameters is also an evaluation
criterion for the selection of the cutting process.
Development of a novel tool for automation of the contamination measurement
Authors: Wernke Alena , Gentes Sascha 
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Considering that about 100 000 m2 of wall area per nuclear
facility must be decontaminated (Hübner et al., 2017), the automation of mechanical decontamination work offers high potential to support people in performing their work and reduce errors in the decommissioning process. Furthermore, the exposure potential for people in contaminated environments is reduced and they are protected from health hazards (Petereit et al., 2019). In the ROBDEKON project, a competence center is being established in Germany to develop practical robotic systems for decontamination work in hazardous environments. To this end, four research institutions are working with industrial partners on the development of (partially) autonomous robotic systems for the decommissioning and decontamination of nuclear facilities, the handling of waste, and the remediation of landfills and contaminated sites (Petereit et al., 2019). At the Institute for Technology and Management in Construction (KIT-TMB), the focus is on development of an automated solution for the (clearance) measurement of near-surface contaminations. A mobile elevating working platform is used as the robotic platform with a contamination array as the tool. The array measures the surface activity on the wall areas and verifies compliance with the thresholds. The contamination array is based on two sensor concepts: measurement and localization. Up to four hand-held contamination-measuring devices are attached to the array to parallelize the measurement. In order to avoid damaging the sensitive detector window foil of the contamination probes, the wall surface to be measured is first examined for imperfections with the help of a laser scanner. For localization of the array, up to four laser sensors are used for distance measurements. Measurement results are automatically saved after each measurement in a table specific to the measurement method and are available to users for documentation purposes at any time. In the further course of the project, the measurement results depending on the radiation level will be overlaid with a geometric 3D environment mapping.

Memahami Mazmur 23:5a dari Sudut Pandang Eskatologi Pentakosta Klasik
Authors: Gabriel Silwanus 
Published: November 2021

Psalm 23 is one of the psalms of the figurative imaginary of God's existence as a good shepherd. The portrayal of God's existence as a good shepherd brings happiness or blessing to the psalmist. When searching the six verses carefully then verse 5a implies the 'concept of eschatological blessing' for the psalmist who acknowledges and believes in the nurturing of God in his life. The eschatological point of view of Psalm 23: 5a is evident from his statement that "You have prepared my table before me, you have anointed me with oil."

===
Mazmur 23 merupakan salah satu mazmur dengan imageri yang figuratif tentang keberadaan Tuhan sebagai gembala yang baik. Gambaran keberadaan Tuhan sebagai gembala yang baik tersebut mendatangkan kebahagiaan atau keberkatan bagi pemazmur. Apabila menelusuri keenam ayat tersebut dengan saksama maka pada ayat 5a menyiratkan adanya ‘konsep berkat eskatologis’ bagi pemazmur yang mengakui dan menyakini penggembalaan Tuhan dalam hidupnya. Adanya sudut pandang eskatologis pada Mazmur 23:5a terlihat dari pernyataannya yang berbunyi “Engkau menyediakan hidangan bagiku di hadapan lawanku, Engkau mengurapi aku dengan minyak,..” Pernyataan menyediakan hidangan dan mengurapi dengan dengan minyak menunjukkan konsep eskatologis yang dapat dibaca dari sudut pandang eskatologi Pentakosta klasik.
"AYAT-AYAT DAJJAL": DARI SYRO-ARAMAIK KE BAHASA ARAB, DARI TERMINOLOGI KE ESKATOLOGI
Authors: Noorsena Bambang 
Published: November 2021

Istilah “Dajjal” sangat dikenal dalam kaitannya dengan eskatologi atau pembahasan tentang akhir zaman. Ironisnya, istilah ini asing di telinga orang Kristen di Indonesia, sebaliknya lebih diakrabi umat Islam, karena tercantum dalam hadits-hadits yang meriwayatkan akan turunnya ‘Isa Putra Maryam pada akhir zaman. Juga dalam kepustakaan Jawa pasca-Islam, sosok Dajjal ini sangat populer di telinga orang Jawa karena tercantum dalam sejumlah naskah Jangka Jayabaya.
====

The term "Dajjal" is very well known in connection with eschatology or the discussion of the end times. Ironically, this term is foreign to the ears of Christians in Indonesia, on the contrary it is more familiar to Muslims, because it is listed in the hadiths which narrate the descent of 'Isa Putra Maryam at the end of time. Also in post-Islamic Javanese literature, the figure of the Antichrist is very popular in the ears of the Javanese because it is listed in a number of Jangka Jayabaya texts.

Etymological Analysis of Toponyms from Ptolemy's Description of Central Europe
Authors: Blažek Václav 
Published: November 2021

Ptolemy was not the first classical author to describe Central Europe, and the territory of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia in particular. The importance of his work is rather concerned with a list of toponyms he recorded, around thirty items altogether, attested from the middle of the second century AD or earlier, which can all more or less be related to this territory. This contribution presents an analysis of the toponyms mentioned in Ptolemy’s list on the diachronic basis. For our purposes, the so-called Old European linguistic stratum is presented as the most archaic, from which we then move on to the Celtic one and then on to Germanic.
The present etymological analysis is yet very tentative and reflects the attempts of the so-called first approximation. But even regarding the preliminary character of the etymologies discussed in the sections 3 and 4, it is obvious that for most of them (21 out of 28, i.e. ¾) the Celtic etymological derivation seems most probable. In four cases the Germanic etymological derivation seems more preferable, in three other cases the Germanic adaptation of the originally Celtic toponyms is indicated by Lautverschiebung (Grimm’s Law). Summing up, the sources of Ptolemy’s information reflect a relatively strong Celtic tradition in the area, which was still able to compete with the arising Germanic tradition.
Dotazník Strategií zvládání stresu (SVF-78) – Recenze metody
Authors: Binderová Gabriela 
Published: November 2021

Domnívám se, že v současné podobě není metoda vhodná pro autory zamýšlené účely – pro srovnávání skupin v oblasti psychologie zdraví, psychologie nemoci a pracovní psychologie, individuální diagnostiku sami autoři nedoporučují kvůli nedostatku validizačních studií. Obzvláště užití v pracovní psychologii mi přijde problematické, vzhledem k nejasnému teoretickému základu a absenci validizačních studií by byla práce s metodou v tomto kontextu neoprávněná a neetická. Sami autoři navíc upozorňují na nebezpečí záměrného zkreslování výsledků a metoda neobsahuje žádný lži-skór, její využití by tak nemuselo mít ani přílišnou výpovědní hodnotu. V českém prostředí jsou navíc problémem zahraniční normy. Metodu tak doporučuji raději pouze pro výzkum, minimálně do doby, než bude stát na pevnějších teoretických základech a bude prokázána její validita. Zajímavou cestou v tomto směru může být přístup Balcara, Trnky a Kušky (2011), kteří se nalezenou faktorovou strukturu české verze dotazníku pokusili poměrně úspěšně interpretovat pomocí Lazarusova transakčního modelu stresu.

Abstract

Objective
The primary objective was to construct a time series model for the abundance of the adult female (AF) sea lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis in Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar farms in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada, for the period 2016–2021 and to illustrate its short-term predictive capabilities.

Methods
Sea lice are routinely counted for monitoring purposes, and these data are recorded in the Fish-iTrends database. A multivariable autoregressive linear mixed-effects model (second-order autoregressive structure) was generated with the outcome of the abundance of AF sea lice and included treatments, infestation pressures (a measure that represents the dose of exposure of sea louse parasitic stages to potential fish hosts) within sites (internal) and among sites (external), and other predictors. The treatments were categorized by duration and type.

Result
The effect of mechanical treatments decreased with increasing sea surface temperature. In-sample predictions had good accuracy. A one-standard-deviation increase in the external infestation pressures (EIPAF) produced a significant relative increase in the abundance of AF sea lice by 5% when other model predictors were kept constant. Sites separated by short seaway distances had stronger EIPAF than sites with more considerable distances.

Conclusion
This model may be helpful for managers and farmers in implementing sea lice mitigation strategies on salmon farms in the Bay of Fundy.

AbstractObjectivesPatients with refractory myasthenia gravis (MG) have few treatment options. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been used to treat immune diseases; however, its use in the treatment of MG is not broadly considered. Our objective is to report on the efficacy and safety of HSCT in refractory MG.MethodsTwenty‐one patients who underwent HSCT for MG were retrospectively reviewed. All patients had severe MG refractory to multiple therapies. Stem cells were mobilized with cyclophosphamide and granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor. The grafts were depleted of immune cells by selecting CD34+ cells. HSCT conditioning consisted of high‐dose cytoreductive therapy and anti‐thymocyte globulin. The primary efficacy outcome was achieving clinically stable remission or minimal manifestations without treatment and remaining as such until most recent follow‐up.ResultsThe median time from MG diagnosis to HSCT was 4.0 years. The primary outcome was reached in 16 of 18 evaluable patients (89%) at a median of 1.7 years and maintained with a median follow‐up of 6.7 years (range 1.0–21.9 years). Three patients were not evaluable for the primary outcome: one due to confounding illness and two died within 12 months of transplant. The transplant‐related mortality at 100 days was 9.5%. Two late deaths occurred, with uncertain relation to the HSCT.InterpretationAfter HSCT for refractory MG, most patients achieved sustained disease remission. However, HSCT‐related mortality in medically complex MG patients may be high. Prospective studies investigating the efficacy and safety of HSCT in the treatment of refractory MG are warranted.

AbstractThis study evaluated disease activity in people with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) who received immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) compared to PwMS not treated with ICIs. There were 108 PwMS included (27 PwMS+ICIs and 81 PwMS controls), matched on age, sex, disease duration, DMTs, and MS disease course. Of 27 PwMS+ICIs, one (4%) had a relapse and four (15%) developed new MRI lesions without clinical symptoms. Time to relapse and MRI activity were compared using Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox regression models. There was no significant difference for either time to relapse (p = 0.34) or MRI activity (p = 0.15) in PwMS+ICIs compared to controls.

Published: December 2024

AbstractDeveloping high‐rate electrode materials is a critical enabler of fast‐charging Na‐ion battery (NIB). Prussian blue analog (PBA) with rapid charge transfer channels has shown significant potential as high‐rate NIB cathodes; however, the fast‐charging capability of reported PBA‐based anodes remains limited. This challenge primarily stems from the complete transformation of their original PBA‐based crystal structures during synthesis processes, resulting in loss of the inherent rapid charge transfer channels. Herein, a Ni‐Fe based PBA (Ni3[Fe(CN)6]2) with a representative PBA‐based crystal structure is presented as a prototype to investigate its potential as a NIB anode, and structural modification strategies are implemented to unlock its rapid Na‐ion storage. First, conversion reaction mechanism is demonstrated in the Ni3[Fe(CN)6]2 during sodiation, with a theoretical specific capacity of 357.2 mAh g−1. However, its reversible capacities after long‐term cycling and at high rates are low. To address these issues, structural optimization strategies including S incorporation, configurational entropy modulation, and coordination environment regulation are utilized. Consequently, its fast‐charging (≈40 s per charge with 245.0 mAh g−1 input) and excellent cycling capabilities are realized. This study demonstrates the feasibility of PBA as high‐rate NIB anodes, and promotes the further investigation into structural optimization strategies aimed at developing other fast‐charging electrodes.

Published: December 2024

AbstractAqueous zinc–sulfur (Zn─S) batteries represent a promising technology for grid‐scale energy storage because of the advantages of environmental friendliness, low cost, and high theoretical capacity. However, the practical applications of Zn─S batteries are hindered by the sluggish oxidation kinetics of zinc sulfide (ZnS) during the charge process. Herein, a strategy of nucleophilic regulation is proposed to modulate the oxidation kinetics of ZnS by adjusting the Zn─S bonding strength. By screening different nucleophilic groups, it is found that tetramethylene sulfone (TMS) can not only strongly interact with Zn atoms of ZnS through sulfone group to lower the oxidation energy barrier but also effectively suppress the side reactions by shielding ZnS from the active water molecules, thus facilitating the complete conversion from ZnS to sulfur. Benefiting from these advantages, the aqueous Zn─S batteries assembled with TMS as a multifunctional electrolyte additive demonstrate a superior specific capacity of 799 mAh g−1 at a current density of 2.0 A g−1 and 649 mAh g−1 at a current density of 4.0 A g−1 with an enhanced capacity retention after long cycles. This work demonstrates the promise of nucleophilic regulation for modulating the cathode conversion reaction in aqueous Zn─S batteries and beyond.

AbstractDespite the significant advantages of Shape Memory Polymers (SMPs), material processing and production challenges have limited their applications. Recent advances in fiber manufacturing offer a novel approach to processing polymers, broadening the functions of fibers beyond optical applications. In this study, a thermal drawing technique for SMPs to fabricate Shape Memory Polymer Fibers (SMPFs) tailored for medical applications, featuring programmable stiffness and shape control is developed. Rheological and differential scanning calorimetry analyses are conducted to assess SMP's compatibility with the proposed thermal drawing process and applications, leading to the production of multilumen, multimaterial SMPFs activated at body temperature. Different properties of SMPFs are investigated in three medical devices: stiffness‐adjustable catheters, softening neural interface, and shape‐programmable cochlear implants. Comprehensive characterization of these devices demonstrates the potential of thermally drawn SMPs to be employed in a wide range of applications demanding programmable mechanical properties.
