ABSTRACTMicroplastics (MPs) are a pollutant that increasingly threatens freshwater ecosystems and requires effective solutions for their removal. The aim of this study is to review current filtration methods used to remove MPs from freshwater environments. This study uses a systematic review method of existing literature regarding filtration techniques for removing MPs. Data were collected from various scientific sources published between 2015 and 2023. The filtration techniques analyzed include traditional filtration and advanced filtration technology. The study results show that advanced filtration technologies such as nanofiltration and biofiltration have a high potential in removing MPs from freshwater. However, each technique has its own challenges, including removal efficiency and implementation cost. The conclusion is that filtration is an effective method for dealing with MP pollution in freshwater ecosystems; however, further study is needed to address the existing challenges. This study provides in‐depth insights that can help develop more efficient policies and technologies for managing MP pollution in the future.
Understanding Social Recognition of Cooperatives from a Bourdieusian Perspective: The Cases of Kalkbreite in Zurich (CH) and Exeter Street Hall in Brighton (UK)
Authors: Cotterlaz-Rannard Gaelle , Méndez Manuel 
Published: July 2024

AbstractCooperatives, characterized as autonomous associations of individuals who voluntarily come together to address shared economic, social, and cultural needs, hold a pivotal position in both local and global economies. Despite their significant presence, research on cooperatives has often been fragmented, focusing either on economic or social aspects. This study employs Bourdieu’s theory of forms of capital as a relational framework to bridge the gap between economic capital and non-economic capitals (social, cultural, and symbolic) in order to comprehensively examine the intricate and distinctive attributes of cooperatives. Through longitudinal case studies of a housing cooperative in Switzerland and a cultural cooperative in the UK, this research focuses on the strategic accumulation of diverse forms of capital (economic, social, cultural, and symbolic) by cooperatives and examines the mechanisms through which they convert these forms of capital. By tracing this transformative journey, we seek to understand the dynamics of capital accumulation and conversion that empower cooperatives to operate effectively and gain recognition from local communities to broader regional contexts.
Experimental Study on the Effect of Redispersible Latex Powder on Pavement Performance of Road Base
Authors: Wang Bo , Hu Huimin , Yao Jianglong 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThrough unconfined compressive strength test, flexural tensile strength test, freeze-thaw test, dry shrinkage test and SEM, the improvement effect and mechanism of redispersible latex powder on the mechanical properties of recycled cement stabilized macadam were studied. The results show that the flexural and tensile strength of recycled cement stabilized macadam mixture increased and the compressive strength decreased slightly after adding latex powder. With the addition of latex powder, the BDR value of cement stabilized macadam increased, and the frost resistance of the mixture improved. Adding latex powder can reduce the shrinkage strain and shrinkage coefficient of cement stabilized macadam, and significantly improve its crack resistance. SEM images show that the latex powder polymer forms a network-like connection structure in the mixture, which can absorb the shrinkage deformation of mineral particles and hydration products in the material, and significantly reduce the shrinkage strain of the specimen.
The Dynamic Response Characteristics of the Slopes with Different Slope Morphology Under the Seismic Wave Action
Authors: Hu Caifeng , Xiong Feng , Zhang Xiangkai 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe seismic landslides are common natural hazards in the mountainous areas, and they can cause a large number of casualties and property losses directly. The dynamic response characteristics of slope under the action of the seismic wave are the primary problem in evaluating the slope seismic stability. In this paper, the research is carried out on the effects of slope angle, morphology, and seismic wave frequency on the slope dynamic responses. Firstly, the slopes with different shapes (straight, concave, and convex slopes) are modeled. Secondly, the slope acceleration amplification factors and shear strain increment are investigated and analyzed. Finally, the dynamic response mechanisms are revealed using the ray analysis method. The results show that the acceleration response of each part of the slope is different for different frequencies, and the value of the amplification factor at the slope surface center is greater than that at the slope top. Slope morphology has significant effects on the dynamic response of the slope, and the slope surface centroid amplification factors change with different slope morphology. Slope angle has prominent impacts on the slope dynamic responses; the amplification factor is greatest at the slope angle of 30°. This study deepens the understanding of the slope seismic dynamic responses, which is vital for predicting slope instability and disaster reduction.
Suicidal ideation in the context of alcohol use among college students: differences across sexual orientation and gender identity
Authors: Kellerman John K. , Rizvi Shireen L. , Duberstein Paul R. , Kleiman Evan M. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Purpose
There is a dearth of research on suicidal ideation (SI) that occurs specifically in the context of drinking alcohol. Alcohol use and binge drinking are both elevated among college students, among whom sexual and gender minority (SGM) students are at particular risk for SI. This manuscript examines alcohol use, SI, and SI specifically in the context of alcohol use among a large sample of undergraduate students and examines differences across sexual and gender minority groups.

Methods
Data were drawn from ~ 300,000 students who completed the American College Health Association National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA) between Spring 2019 and Fall 2022. Participants reported identity variables and information about drinking behaviors and suicidal ideation over the past year. Multilevel models were used for all analyses.

Results
Risky drinking behaviors and higher blood alcohol content during the last episode of social drinking were associated with higher odds of SI while drinking. Rates of risky drinking behaviors, SI, and SI while drinking were elevated among SGM students with SGM men and nonbinary students reporting the highest rates across groups.

Conclusion
SI while drinking, which is seldom assessed in measures of either measures of suicidal thoughts or alcohol use behavior, is an important construct for further research to improve our understanding of high risk states for suicide. Given elevated rates of alcohol use and SI among college students, providing education and resources to reduce SI while drinking is a critical target for universities, particularly to reduce risk among vulnerable SGM students.
Abelian envelopes of exact categories and highest weight categories
Authors: Bodzenta Agnieszka , Bondal Alexey 
Published: July 2024

AbstractWe define admissible and weakly admissible subcategories in exact categories and prove that the former induce semi-orthogonal decompositions on the derived categories. We develop the theory of thin exact categories, an exact-category analogue of triangulated categories generated by exceptional sequences. The right and left abelian envelopes of exact categories are introduced, an example being the category of coherent sheaves on a scheme as the right envelope of the category of vector bundles. The existence of right (left) abelian envelopes is proven for exact categories with projectively (injectively) generating subcategories with weak (co)kernels. We show that highest weight categories are precisely the right/left envelopes of thin categories. Ringel duality on highest weight categories is interpreted as a duality between the right and left abelian envelopes of a thin exact category. A duality for thin exact categories compatible with Ringel duality is introduced by means of derived categories and Serre functor on them.

The Relationship between Sclerostin and Kidney Transplantation Mineral Bone Disorders: A Molecule of Controversies
Authors: Afsar Baris , Afsar Rengin Elsurer , Caliskan Yasar , Lentine Krista L. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractKidney transplantation is the most effective treatment option for most patients with end-stage kidney disease due to reduced mortality, decreased cardiovascular events and increased quality of life compared to patients treated with dialysis. However, kidney transplantation is not devoid of both acute and chronic complications including mineral bone disorders (MBD) which are already present in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) before kidney transplantation. The natural history of MBD after kidney transplantation is variable and new markers are needed to define MBD after kidney transplantation. One of these promising molecules is sclerostin. The main action of sclerostin is to inhibit bone formation and mineralization by blocking osteoblast differentiation and function. In kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), various studies have shown that sclerostin is associated with graft function, bone parameters, vascular calcification, and arterial stiffness although non-uniformly. Furthermore, data for inhibition of sclerostin with monoclonal antibody romosozumab for treatment of osteoporosis is available for general population but not in KTRs which osteoporosis is highly prevalent. In this narrative review, we have summarized the studies investigating the change of sclerostin before and after kidney transplantation, the relationship between sclerostin and laboratory parameters, bone metabolism and vascular calcification in the context of kidney transplantation. We also pointed out the uncertainties, explained the causes of divergent findings and suggest further potential study topics regarding sclerostin in kidney transplantation.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Background
The integration of neck liposuction with FaceTite Manipulus Radiofrequency (RF) technology and buccal fat pad excision for enhanced neck rejuvenation promise heightened precision and efficacy in sculpting the neck and jawline. Neck liposuction, coupled with RF technology, provides controlled thermal energy for adipose tissue treatment and collagen remodeling, while buccal fat pad excision offers refined contouring of the lower face and neck. This integrated approach aims to optimize patient outcomes and advance the field of esthetic plastic surgery.

Methods
A prospective study was conducted from 2016 to 2023 on 80 consecutive patients who presented to the author's private clinic and required neck remodeling surgery for esthetic purposes. Patients were monitored and clinic appointments were scheduled at intervals of 0, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months post-treatment for evaluation. A tape measure recorded submental length at 1 and 6 months, and a satisfaction survey was administered one week before surgery and after six months. Physicians assessed improvement using a five-point scale for patient satisfaction and a four-point scale for overall improvement.

Results
All patients underwent successful RFAL treatment, consistently achieving satisfaction with the outcomes. The average reduction in submental length measured 23 mm during the 6-month follow-up period. Additionally, the removal of buccal fat pads played a pivotal role in facial slimming and enhancing the esthetics of the upper cheek region.

Conclusions
The integration of neck liposuction with FaceTite RF technology and buccal fat pad excision offers a promising approach for enhanced neck rejuvenation and facial contouring. This combined method demonstrates heightened precision and efficacy in sculpting the neck and jawline, aiming to optimize patient outcomes and advance the field of esthetic plastic surgery.

Published: July 2024

AbstractBenign central venous occlusions are frequently associated with long-term central venous access. Most of these occlusions can be recanalized with conventional endovascular technique. When conventional technique fails, sharp recanalization techniques (SRTs) can increase technical success. The SRTs include single low-profile needles, needle coaxial systems, re-entry catheter, the back end of stiff guidewires, and systems that can deliver radiofrequency energy or laser. This review on SRTs presents technical details and outcomes of the most common techniques used in central venous recanalization.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Little is known about the chemosensory system of gustation in sea lampreys, basal jawless vertebrates that feed voraciously on live prey. The objective of this study was to investigate taste bud distribution and chemosensory responses along the length of the pharynx in the sea lamprey. Scanning electron microscopy and immunocytochemistry revealed taste buds and associated axons at all six lateral pharyngeal locations between the seven pairs of internal gill pores. The most rostral pharyngeal region contained more and larger taste buds than the most caudal region. Taste receptor cell responses were recorded to sweet, bitter, amino acids and the bile acid taurocholic acid, as well as to adenosine triphosphate. Similar chemosensory responses were observed at all six pharyngeal locations with taste buds. Overall, this study shows prominent taste buds and taste receptor cell activity in the seven pharyngeal regions of the sea lamprey.
Asymmetry of winter precipitation event predictions in South China

Published: July 2024

AbstractWinter precipitation anomalies in South China (SC) frequently result in severe disasters. However, the evaluation of prediction performance and distinctions between positive precipitation anomaly events (PPA, wet condition) and negative precipitation anomaly events (NPA, dry condition) in current operational models remains incomplete. This study employed the Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2) to assess winter precipitation prediction accuracy in SC from 1983 to 2021. Differences in predicting PPA and NPA events and the underlying physical mechanisms were explored. The results indicate that CFSv2 can effectively predict interannual variations in winter precipitation in SC, as there is a significant time correlation coefficient of 0.68 (0.62) between observations and predictions, with a lead time of 0 (3) months. The model revealed an intriguing asymmetry in prediction skills: PPA outperformed NPA in both deterministic and probabilistic prediction. The higher predictability of PPA, as indicated by the perfect model correlation and signal-to-noise ratio, contributed to its superior prediction performance when compared to NPA. Physically, tropical signals from the ENSO and extratropical signals from the Arctic sea ice anomaly, were found to play pivotal roles in this asymmetric feature. ENSO significantly impacts PPA events, whereas NPA events are influenced by a complex interplay of factors involving ENSO and Arctic sea ice, leading to low NPA predictability. The capability of the model to replicate Arctic sea ice signals is limited, but it successfully predicts ENSO signals and reproduces their related circulation responses. This study highlights the asymmetrical features of precipitation prediction, aiding in prediction models improvement.
The Pararectus approach: a preferred surgical approach for fixation of acetabular fractures predominantly involving the anterior column – a narrative review
Authors: Freude Thomas , Krappinger Dietmar , Lindtner Richard A. , Stuby Fabian 
Published: July 2024

AbstractBeginning in France in the 1960s, the management of acetabular fractures has increasingly evolved toward surgical treatment strategies. The basic principles established by the pioneers of acetabular surgery, Letournel and Judet - anatomical reconstruction of the joint and stable osteosynthesis - remain unchanged. Modern advancements in surgical techniques aim to reduce access-related trauma and minimize complications. The notable rise in acetabular fractures among the elderly, which predominantly affect the anterior aspects of the acetabulum, has driven the development of less invasive, soft tissue-sparing anterior approaches. This evolution began with the ilio-inguinal approach in the 1960s, progressed to the modified Stoppa approach in the 2000s and, most recently, the Pararectus approach in the 2010s. Each of these approaches upholds the fundamental principles of effective acetabular fracture care, while offering distinct advantages and disadvantages. In this review, we examine the merits and limitations of the Pararectus approach, specifically focusing on its utility in the surgical treatment of anterior column posterior hemitransverse acetabular fractures. Ultimately, the success of the individual patient’s outcome is less dependent on the chosen approach and more on the surgeon’s experience and expertise. Ideally, surgeons should be proficient in all these approaches to tailor the surgical strategy to the individual patient’s requirements, thereby ensuring optimal outcomes.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Introduction
Sexual life of pregnant women alters during pregnancy due to the physiologic,’ anatomic and hormonal changes in her body. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate female sexual functioning after becoming pregnant.

Patients and methods
A prospective survey study including 148 pregnant women. An anonymous questionnaire including 60 inquiries concerning intimate relationship before and during pregnancy was performed. The following statistical test were used: Chi-square test of independence, Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and Wilcoxon test. The significance level of p = 0.05 was assumed.

Results
Most of the respondents were between 31 and 40 years old (55%). Majority of them were married (86%). During pregnancy, slightly more than half of women had a moderate need for sexual intercourse (51%), a large percentage of them had a low need (32%), a high need for intercourse was declared by 17% of women. The correlation analysis showed a statistically significant relationship between women’s education and the need for sex before pregnancy (p = 0.049). Respondents with higher degrees of education more often felt the need for intercourse before pregnancy. No correlation was found between education and the need for intercourse after pregnancy (p = 0.107). After becoming pregnant, 51% of women had less need for intercourse, 7% more, and 42% the same as before pregnancy, and these differences were statistically significant (p < 0.001). Also, a decreased satisfaction with sexual intercourse was reported during pregnancy (p < 0.001). After getting pregnant, the average number of intercourses decreased in majority (71%) of respondents, and differences in the number of intercourses before and during pregnancy were statistically significant (p < 0.001).

Conclusion
Pregnancy has significant impact on woman’s sexuality. After becoming pregnant majority of women declare less need for sexual intercourses, decreased number of intercourses with less satisfaction.
