Abstract. The viscosity of aerosol particles determines the critical mixing time of gas–particle partitioning of volatile compounds in the atmosphere. The partitioning of the semi-volatile ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) might alter the viscosity of highly viscous secondary organic aerosol particles during their lifetimes. In contrast to the viscosity of organic particles, data on the viscosity of internally mixed inorganic–organic aerosol particles are scarce. We determined the viscosity of an aqueous ternary inorganic–organic system consisting of NH4NO3 and a proxy compound for a highly viscous organic, sucrose. Three techniques were applied to cover the atmospherically relevant humidity range: viscometry, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, and the poke-flow technique. We show that the viscosity of NH4NO3–sucrose–H2O with an organic to inorganic dry mass ratio of 4:1 is 4 orders of magnitude lower than the viscosity of the aqueous sucrose under low-humidity conditions (30 % relative humidity (RH), 293 K). By comparing viscosity predictions of mixing rules with those of the Aerosol Inorganic–Organic Mixtures Functional groups Activity Coefficients Viscosity (AIOMFAC-VISC) model, we found that a mixing rule based on mole fractions performs similarly when data from corresponding binary aqueous subsystems are available. Applying this mixing rule, we estimated the characteristic internal mixing time of aerosol particles, indicating significantly faster mixing for inorganic–organic mixtures compared to electrolyte-free particles, especially at lower RH. Hence, the assumption in global atmospheric chemistry models of quasi-instantaneous equilibrium gas–particle partitioning is reasonable for internally mixed single-phase particles containing dissolved electrolytes (but not necessarily for phase-separated particles), for most conditions in the planetary boundary layer. Further data are needed to see whether this assumption holds for the entire troposphere at midlatitudes and at RH > 35 %.
Understanding Orthopaedic Infections: A Conceptual Approach
Authors: Laborde Gregory , Bloise Christopher , Karam George 
Published: December 2024

Background Memorizing mounds of facts without having an effective conceptual framework to store them is often an unsuccessful learning style because memory frequently fails without understanding. To accomplish this goal, we offer a framework of ideas called “concept maps”. Of the many strategies for metacognition (that is, thinking about thinking), concept mapping is proven to improve meaningful and independent learning. We used this approach to guide understanding of common orthopaedic infections. This paper is not meant to serve as an approach on how to treat, but rather as a storage system with the ability to assist in understanding orthopaedic infections. Methods Concept maps are constructed using information from over 30 sources of orthopaedic or infectious disease literature. The sequential levels of each concept map are referred to as levels of hierarchy. Boxes of each level of hierarchy are designed to be a point of differentiation between a similar concept. Branches form lower levels of hierarchy to further divide specific concepts. Results 5 concept maps were constructed. One map is an overview of all concepts, and the key concept for each of the following map are as follows: osteomyelitis, synovial infection, myositis, and foreign material infection. Conclusion A conceptual approach is a way of learning material in a manner that allows effective storage and retrieval. This approach will ultimately lead to a better understanding of orthopaedic infections.

Abstract: The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant infections globally emphasizes the urgent need for effective antimicrobial strategies. Photocatalysts, known for their efficiency, broad-spectrum activity, and environmental benefits, present a promising alternative. With the development of natural solar light driven photocatalysts, the antimicrobial and bactericidal range has been further extended. Photocatalytic materials can be activated by various light wavelengths to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can effectively eliminate a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. However, the limited optical response range, suboptimal bandgap, and slow electron cycling limit the efficient generation of ROS, resulting in lower sterilization efficiency of photocatalytic antimicrobials. Additionally, the short half-life and limited migration distance of ROS restrict their antimicrobial activity. This review focuses on the process and mechanism of ROS generation in photocatalytic reactions, and highlighting the recent advances in the typical photocatalysts. We also explore strategies to enhance ROS diffusion and utilization, including morphology control, noble metal deposition, doping, co-catalyst loading, vacancy introduction, surface functionalization, and heterojunction construction. These strategies aim to increase the efficiency of ROS generation and prolong their activity, thereby enhancing the overall antimicrobial effectiveness. Thereafter, the review presents state-of-the-art applications of photocatalysts in water purification, medical coatings, and air disinfection. Furthermore, it explores key challenges and opportunities that may drive future innovations and advancements in photocatalytic antimicrobial applications, aiming to develop more effective and sustainable solutions.

The Reasoning of Judicial Decisions as Principle for a Due Process of Law
Authors: Sava Eleni 
Published: December 2024

One of the main principles of the civil procedural law is to reason the court decisions. This principle comes as an obligation of the court and as a right to be familiar with a reasoned decision. The good reasoning of decisions secures transparency and accountability. It addresses to the parties and aims to show them why someone won and why the other part lost, supporting the standard of a due process of law. The reasoning of the court decisions limits the arbitrariness and ensures correctness in making it. A reasoned court decision clearly presents the legal issue relevant to the resolution of the dispute. The judge summarizes the most important facts of the case and explains the legal principles that are aplayed to the specific case. He makes a detailed analysis of the application of legal principles in relation to the facts of the case, where the type of decision-making clearly emerges. But what does a reasoned decision means? Is the provision of the first paragraph of the Article 142 of the Constitution in the Republic of Albania absolute?
