Das „Prinzip Antworten“: Eine postapokalyptische Theorie der Verantwortung für das Anthropozän
Authors: Hoppe Katharina 
Published: May 2024

ZusammenfassungDer Beitrag lotet die Anforderungen an eine Theorie der Verantwortung im Anthropozän aus. Dafür kartiert er zunächst drei soziologische Thematisierungsstränge von Verantwortung in den Debatten um ökologische Krisen. Diese Zugänge lassen Verantwortung in Zurechenbarkeit aufgehen und verfahren tendenziell individualisierend und ethisierend, moralisierend und generalisierend oder abstrahierend und entpolitisierend. Um diese Fallstricke zu umgehen, befragt der Beitrag die Verantwortungsethik von Hans Jonas und leitet aus dessen Position drei Herausforderungen für eine Theorie der Verantwortung im Anthropozän ab: Die angemessene Anthropozentrismuskritik, den Vorrang der „Sache“ in Verantwortungsbeziehungen und die Frage der apokalyptischen Untermauerung. Diese Herausforderungen diskutiert der Artikel im Anschluss an alteritätstheoretische Perspektiven. Er schlägt ein „Prinzip Antworten“ vor, das Verantwortung nicht in Responsibilisierung aufgehen lässt, sondern als Prozesse des Antwortens auf die Welt und mit der Welt begreift. In verantwortungsethischen Einlassungen dieser Art sind Infragestellungen des Eigenen von zentraler Bedeutung. Entgegen einer Verantwortungsübernahme aus Furcht vor der Apokalypse geht diese Perspektive von ethischen Begegnungen in der postapokalyptischen Situation des Anthropozäns aus, die „unsere“ spezifischen Verortungen in der Welt ins Zentrum ethischer Erwägungen stellen.

AbstractMetabolic associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common liver condition. It is associated with increased liver-related morbidity and mortality, and also with high risk of cardiovascular events (CVD), representing itself an independent risk factor for it. This makes MASLD a presentation of high interest for internal medicine, also because of its association with metabolic syndrome (MetS). It is crucial to assess its risks in a noninvasive way. With the aim of finding specific risk profiles for CVD development in MASLD by performing a noninvasive assessment of: (1) preclinical signs of endothelial dysfunction (ED); (2) clinical assessment of CVD risk by Framingham Heart Risk Score (FHRs); (3) genomic characterization of MASLD associated polymorphisms; (4) specific untargeted metabolomic profiles, we enrolled 466 MASLD patients non-invasively classified in 4 group of liver fibrosis severity (group-A: low-fibrosis risk, group-B: high-fibrosis risk, group-C: MASLD-cirrhosis, group-D: MASLD-HCC) and 73 healthy controls. FHRs was similar in controls and low-fibrosis group and significantly higher in high-fibrosis patients, cirrhosis, and HCC, increasing among classes. At a multivariable regression, FHRs was associated with liver disease severity and diabetes. 38.2% of patients had altered EndoPAT, resembling ED. Patients with high FHRs (> 40%) and ED had different metabolomics compared to those without ED. Our study reveals that a deep, non-invasive characterization of MASLD patients through precision medicine approaches (untargeted metabolomics, SNPs, ED assessment) was able to show a peculiar pattern in MASLD patients with increased CVD risk, mostly correlated with liver disease severity.

AbstractIn the rapidly evolving digital era, the growing trend of conducting real estate e-business transactions through online platforms has led to escalated challenges in ensuring transactional security and trust. These challenges underscore the importance of balancing transparency with data privacy and enhancing accountability in this field. As an extension of our previously published work (Abualhamayl AJ, Almalki MA, Al-Doghman F, Alyoubi AA, Hussain FK (2023) Towards fractional NFTs for joint ownership and provenance in real estate. In: 2023 IEEE international conference on e-business engineering (ICEBE), p. 143–8. 10.1109/ICEBE59045.2023.00022.), this paper introduces the Global Real Estate Platform (GREP), a novel hybrid blockchain system that utilizes real estate provenance to establish a secure and trustworthy environment for real estate e-business, specifically focusing on two key challenges: ensuring data authenticity and effectively managing access rights. Integral to GREP's design is the involvement of government entities, which is essential for maintaining the required balance between transparency, privacy, and high levels of accountability. This proposed framework is explained conceptually and demonstrated practically, offering an innovative perspective on the integration of hybrid blockchain technology in the real estate system. Furthermore, our research encompasses a detailed implementation, using various tools, and an in-depth examination of three use cases. This combined analysis effectively demonstrates GREP's efficacy in addressing the targeted challenges in the field. While acknowledging the system's limitations, including challenges in user adoption and performance variability under different network conditions, our findings open new avenues for further exploration, such as landlords' payment histories and utility bills, and using blockchain as a secondary user identifier. These features collectively highlight the transformative potential of blockchain technology in real estate e-business.

AbstractEnvironmental health research aims to identify environmental conditions suitable for the healthy living and reproduction of human beings. Through the interdisciplinary research bridging environmental sciences and health/medical sciences, the impacts of physical, chemical, and biological environmental factors on human health are investigated. This includes identifying environmental factors detrimental to human health, evaluating human exposure characteristics to environmental factors, clarifying causal relationships between environmental exposure and health effects, analyzing the underlying biochemical mechanisms, linking environmental factors to the onset and progression of diseases, establishing exposure-response relationships, and determining effect thresholds. Ultimately, the results of environmental health research can serve as a scientific basis for formulating environmental management strategies and guiding prevention and intervention measures at both the public and individual levels. This paper summarizes the recent advances and future perspectives of environmental health research in China, as reported by a group of Chinese scientists who recently attended a workshop in Hainan, China. While it is not intended to provide a comprehensive review of this expansive field, it offers a glimpse into the significant progress made in understanding the health impacts of environmental factors over the past decade. Looking ahead, it is imperative not only to sustain efforts in studying the health effects of traditional environmental pollution, but also to prioritize research on the health impacts of emerging pollutants and climate change.

AbstractThe “sense of coherence” incorporates the notion that when life seems comprehensive, manageable, and meaningful for an individual, even under tremendous adversity, this accounts for stamina and confidence. Its absence is associated with mental health problems, including depression. The current analysis aimed to explore the relationship between the sense of coherence and depression through a network analysis approach in a sample of 181 people with depression. The mean age of the individuals in the sample was 35.59 (11.50) years, and 76.8% were females (n = 139). All participants had at least one previous depressive episode; the duration of the current episode was 30.30 (77.30) days. Sense of coherence was assessed using the 13-item Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-13). The severity of depression was quantified with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-I). The correlations between the two scales, three networks (i.e., SOC-13; BDI-I and joint SOC-13/BDI-I), and their centrality indices were calculated. The mean SOC-13 was 40.56 ± 9.99, and the mean BDI-I was 49.90 ± 9.26. There was a strong correlation-concordance (− 0.65; 95% CI: − 0.72 to − 0.55) index between the two scales. We identified detailed relationship dynamics between symptoms, clusters, and domains through the novel network analysis approach. The analysis of SOC-13 nodes revealed the pivotal role of social relationships in the network. However, in the depression network, we found a role for affection (in contrast to neglect) and joy (as opposed to boredom). In conclusion, solid and sustainable personal relationships in distress and adversity stand against the burden of depression.

AbstractBackgroundProstate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radiopharmaceuticals allow whole-body imaging to detect prostate cancer (PC). Positron emission tomography imaging using gallium-68 (68Ga)-PSMA-11 has been shown to have a favorable safety and tolerability profile and high diagnostic performance. The study evaluates the safety and pharmacokinetics of68Ga-PSMA-11 in Japanese patients with primary, recurrent, or suspected recurrent prostate cancer.MethodsThis single arm study enrolled Japanese patients with primary PC (n = 3), suspected recurrent PC following radical prostatectomy (n = 4), or suspected recurrent PC following radical radiotherapy (n = 3). All patients received a single intravenous dose of68Ga-PSMA-11 2.0 MBq/kg (±10%) followed by PSMA PET imaging and safety and pharmacokinetic evaluations. Based on the blood concentrations of68Ga-PSMA-11 and the radioactivity distribution rate in each organ/tissue, the absorbed doses in major organs/tissues and the whole-body effective dose were calculated by the Medical Internal Radiation Dose method.ResultsTen patients were enrolled. Mean age was 73.3 ± 4.8 years, and median prostate-specific antigen was 8.250 ng/mL. Five patients (50%) experienced a total of 6 adverse events, and no grade ≥ 2 adverse events or serious adverse events were reported. No clinically significant changes in vital signs, haematology parameters, or blood chemistry or ECG abnormalities were observed. The estimated whole body effective dose of68Ga-PSMA-11 (mean ± standard deviation) was 2.524 × 10–2 ± 2.546 × 10–3 mSv/MBq. Time to maximum concentration (1.16 × 10–4 ± 1.3 × 10–5% ID/mL) in whole blood was 2.15 ± 0.33 min.Conclusions68Ga-PSMA-11 has a favourable safety and tolerability profile in Japanese patients with primary, recurrent, or suspected recurrent prostate cancer, which is comparable to previous observations in other populations.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Objectives
Growing evidence supports the role of mindfulness in regulating emotions in the general population. However, the interactive network of mindfulness facets and difficulties in regulating emotions is not well understood, which is specifically important for individuals involved in high-risk professions, such as first responders. The aim of this study was to investigate the interactive relations between mindfulness facets (acting with awareness, non-judging, describing, observing, and non-reacting), ability to regulate emotions and alcohol use in a sample of firefighters, including military veterans.

Method
A sample of 685 career firefighters, of whom 154 (22.5%) are military veterans, completed measures of mindfulness and difficulties in regulating emotions. The dataset was subjected to network analysis.

Results
The mindfulness facet non-judging was negatively related to emotion-regulation challenges, such as nonaccepting attitudes and lack of clarity, and positively related to deficits in goal-directed behaviour. Acting with awareness was negatively related to goal-directed behaviour deficits and impulsivity. Alcohol use was positively linked to impulsivity and negatively linked to describing. Overall, emotion-regulation difficulties were positively linked together, and positive links were found between most mindfulness facets. Directed network analysis found non-judging and emotion-regulation strategy as primary predictors. Non-judging acted as a protective factor, supporting other mindfulness facets, while emotion-regulation strategy exacerbated emotion-regulation challenges acted as a risk factor.

Conclusions
This network analysis demonstrated that acting with awareness and a non-judgmental attitude, facets of mindfulness, are linked to better emotion-regulation and may play protective role against impulsivity and alcohol use.
“I’m Not Sure I Can See Myself in This World”: Experience of Mindfulness Teacher Training among Trainees from Diverse Backgrounds
Authors: Fontana Victoria E. , Griffith Gemma M. , Crane Rebecca S. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Objectives
There is a growing recognition of the importance of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in mindfulness-based Teacher Training Programs (TTPs), given current imbalances in representation of teachers and trainers, and a recognised need to build awareness of personal and organisational biases. Little is known about how EDI issues may impact the experience of trainees on a TTP. This study aimed to explore underrepresented trainees’ experiences on a TTP, including what hindered or helped them access training or feel included, and their views on how best to foster EDI in TTPs.

Method
Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with seven current and graduate mindfulness teacher trainees from underrepresented groups. Their experiences of EDI throughout training were explored. Data was analyzed using inductive thematic analysis.

Results
Key findings were that feelings of inclusion were influenced by how represented and acknowledged trainees felt by their trainers and peers; feelings of safety influenced their choices around disclosure; a main access barrier was cost; and more explicit teaching about EDI in TTP curricula is needed. There was a need for wider access to entry trainings such as 8-week mindfulness-based programmes.

Conclusions
This study provides valuable insight into how underrepresented teacher trainees experience TTPs and highlights opportunities to better support mindfulness teacher trainees. TTPs need to integrate EDI awareness and understanding into their ethos and curriculum. Further research is needed to inform and develop approaches to further embed EDI in mindfulness-based program teaching and training.
Can water mites’ parasitism influence the number of microplastics ingested by aquatic insects?

Published: May 2024

AbstractMicroplastic pollution endangers both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Their spread across the food chain also endangers human health. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can be viewed as the final barrier between microplastics and the environment. In addition, it is well-known that water mites are abundant parasites in aquatic ecosystems, and nearly all insect orders with aquatic stages are considered potential hosts for at least one water mite species. However, no studies have been conducted to test the direct and indirect effects of parasites on population dynamics in freshwater ecosystems or the role of predators in shaping the behavior and life histories of aquatic organisms. Thus, this work aimed to study the seasonal abundance, distribution, composition, and risk assessment of MPs in surface water, aquatic insects (Coroxide and Notonectidae), and for the first time, water mites (Hydrachnidiae), as well as the effect of water mites’ parasitism on the number of MPs ingested by aquatic insects in two of the most polluted wastewater sites (S1 and S2) in Sohag Governorate, Egypt. The two wastewater sites receive different wastewater inputs (domestic and industrial). The results showed that the MPs abundance in surface water was higher in S2 than in S1 during the four seasons of the year, where the microplastic abundance in surface water was 2.05 ± 0.79 and 3.01 ± 0.9 particles/L in S1 and S2, respectively. Also, MPs were significantly higher in S2 in two insect taxa (Corixidae and Notonectidae) that are known to be infected by water mites. In contrast, the number of MPs was lower in S1, where water mites were absent. In addition, our results showed that adult water mites accumulated MPs. Overall, the 500–2000 µm size range was the most prevalent for both wastewater sites. Fibers were the most common MP morphotype discovered, followed by fragments. The dominant colors of MP were blue, red, and black. Furthermore, FTIR spectroscopy revealed the existence of three distinct polymers, namely polyester (PES), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the effect of water mites’ parasitism on the number of MPs ingested by aquatic organisms. However, Further research is needed to confirm our suggestion.

Published: May 2024

AbstractAs an essential link in ultra-precision machining technology, various new surface polishing technologies and processes have always attracted continuous in-depth research and exploration by researchers. As a new research direction of ultra-precision machining technology, magnetorheological polishing technology has become an important part. The polishing materials and magnetorheological fluids involved in the process of magnetorheological polishing are reviewed. The polishing principle, equipment development, theoretical research and process research of magnetorheological polishing technologies, such as the wheel-type, cluster-type, ball-type, disc-type and other types, derived from the magnetorheological polishing process, are reviewed. The above magnetorheological polishing technologies are analyzed and compared from the perspective of processing accuracy, processing efficiency and application range. The curvature adaptive magnetorheological polishing technology with a circulatory system is proposed to achieve high efficiency and high-quality polishing.

AbstractThis paper investigates the performance of continuous fibre-reinforced 3D printed components in salt water medium at room temperature. Markforged® Mark Two 3D printer was employed to fabricate standard specimens made of Onyx and reinforced Onyx specimens with continuous carbon, high-strength high-temperature glass, and Kevlar fibres. Aging process was conducted to characterize the long-term effect of salt water on the mechanical behaviour of fibre-reinforced 3D printed samples. Several mechanical tests including tensile, 3-point bending test and indentation testing have been carried out on the dry and aged standard samples to evaluate tensile strength, flexural strength, micro-hardness, and modulus of elasticity in micro-scale. The mechanical tests revealed the degradation and loss in mechanical properties of the printed samples after aging in salt water. The data highlighted that Onyx samples without continuous fibres experienced the most significant reduction in both tensile (33.54%) and flexural (63.47%) strengths after 1 year, while continuous carbon fibre-reinforced Onyx samples showed comparatively lower strength reductions (28.46% in tensile strength and 18.73% in flexural strength). Optical and scanning electron microscopy were performed to investigate the fracture behaviour of the tested specimens. In addition, the DSC assessment showed a slight change in the thermal properties of aged specimens.

AbstractUnderground mines pose significant challenges, including hazardous working conditions, limited access, and the need to ensure the safety of human workers. Digital transformation through the integration of modern technologies is essential to mitigate these challenges and enhance the overall safety and efficiency of mining operations. This paper addresses the pressing need for 5G connectivity for the digital transformation of underground mines and demonstrates its application through a live 3D point cloud mapping by a mobile robot. The results of the experiments conducted to validate the network’s performance for such a use-case are presented. The first experiment involved testing the latency of the network over a test drift at various loads. The second experiment involved mapping the drift and streaming the 3D point cloud map of the drift over the 5G network. These initial experiments emphasize the potential of the 5G-enabled automation in underground mines and holds promise in digitalizing underground mining operations.
