Published: April 2024

Abstract
The success of ceramic membranes as solute separation and filtration makes membrane technology widely used because it has high effectiveness and efficiency as a solute separator and filtration. The solute separation and filtration performances of typical ceramic membranes depend on the porosity properties of the ceramic membrane itself. Membrane porosity indicates the number of porous areas in the membrane. Precipitated silica as filler was added into the ceramic membrane at 0.30 %, 1.01 %, 1.68 %, 2.34 %, and 2.99 % per hundred masses of the membrane. It was revealed that silica acting as a membrane filler increased the porosity of the ceramic membrane. This was confirmed with the SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) test and Origin Software. From the test results the highest porosity value is at 2.99 % per hundred masses of membrane.

Abstract
The Karawang Regency is located on the coast and is the largest industrial area in West Java. However, this has led to groundwater seepage issues that cause the water to taste salty and cause yellow stains. To solve these issues, a study was conducted to filter the groundwater using tubular ceramic membranes. This study created tubular ceramic membranes using three different composition; Clay:Seashell = 60%:30% (CM-1); 45%:45% (CM-2); 30%:60% (CM-3); and 10% zeolite. The ceramic membranes were sintered at 1000°C for 10 hours. The research aimed to analyze how different compositions of ceramic membrane materials affected the efficiency of reducing pH, manganese, Total Dissolved Solids, salinity, and hardness. This ceramic membrane has a good effectiveness level completed with the best tubular ceramic membrane variant in reducing water pH levels being CM-1 (7.2-7.5), CM-1 is the best reduction of TDS by 284.66 mg/L, CM-2 is the best reduction of Mn metal by 0.235 mg/L, CM-3 is the best reduction in hardness by 84.333 ppm, and CM-1 is the best reduction in salinity by 108 ppm.

Abstract
The ability of protons to deliver the maximum dose at the tumor region can work synergistically with boron atoms to emit alpha particles, enhancing therapy effects with less damage to healthy tissue. Protons and boron nuclear fusion reaction is the principle for the so-called Proton Boron Capture Therapy, that can contribute to high therapy efficiency by using smaller flux than conventional proton therapy, especially for radioresistant brain tumors such as glioblastoma. Glioblastoma is the most infiltrating and aggressive tumor of the brain with a very low life expectancy, ranging from 6 to 24 months. In this study we evaluated the protons combined effectwithanovelboron-conjugated compound, which is a pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivative, acting as SRC tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Indeed, this drug includes a boron cluster, that can be directed in tumor cells using the ATP-competitive mechanism of the pyrazolo[3,4 d]pyrimidine ring in activated SRC form of glioblastoma cells, achieving tumor uptake of boron for Proton Boron Capture Therapy reaction. This preliminary study showed interesting results that could offer important contributions for further experiments.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
This paper presents procedures and techniques for correcting
the linear optics of the VEPP-4M collider. The accelerator structure
investigation is based on the measurement and analysis of orbit
response matrices (ORM) and optical functions reconstructed from
turn-by-turn (TbT) data. Having no technical description of
quadrupole lenses and corrector magnets, we have calibrated their
current dependencies of magnetic strengths and fields,
respectively. Corresponding to the reference orbit, quadrupole
shifts in each plane have been obtained by using the beam-based
alignment (BBA) technique. The accelerator optics has been corrected
and calibrated at the injection energy of 1.9 GeV. The software
combining automated optical functions measurement and correction has
been developed and successfully implemented at VEPP-4M.
Enhanced osteogenesis and physicochemical properties of PMMA bone cement with SrBG/HA porous core-shell microspheres

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Artificial bone graft with osteoconductivity, angiogenesis, and immunomodulation is promising clinical therapeutics for the reluctant healing process of bone defects. Among various osteogenic substitutes, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement is a quit competitive platform due to its easy deployment to the bone defects with irregular shape and biomimetic mechanical properties. However, the biologically inert essence of PMMA is reliant on the passive osseointegration and cannot provide sufficient biologic cues to induce fast bone repair. Bioactive glass could serve as an efficient platform for the active osteogenesis of PMMA via ionic therapy and construction of alkaline microenvironment. However, the direct of deployment of bioactive glass into PMMA may trigger additional cytotoxicity and hinder cell growth on its surface. Hence we incorporated ionic therapy as osteogenic cue into the PMMA to enhance the biomedical properties. Specifically, we synthesized core-shell microspheres with a strontium-doped bioactive glass (SrBG) core and hydroxyapatite (HA) shell, and then composited them with PMMA to introduce multifunctional effects of HA incorporation, alkaline microenvironment construction, and functional ion release by adding microsphere. We prepared xSrBG@HA/PMMA cements (x = 30, 40, 50) with varied microsphere content and evaluated impacts on mechanical/handling properties, ion release, and investigated the impacts of different composite cements on proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, angiogenic potential, and macrophage polarization. These findings provide new perspectives and methodologies for developing advanced bone biomaterials to promote tissue regeneration.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
The decellularized matrix has a great potential for tissue remodeling and regeneration; however, decellularization could induce host immune rejection due to incomplete cell removal or detergent residues, thereby posing significant challenges for its clinical application. Therefore, the selection of an appropriate detergent concentration, further optimization of tissue decellularization technique, increased of biosafety in decellularized tissues, and reduction of tissue damage during the decellularization procedures are pivotal issues that need to be investigated. In this study, we tested several conditions and determined that 0.1% Sodium dodecyl sulfate and three decellularization cycles were the optimal conditions for decellularization of pulp tissue. Decellularization efficiency was calculated and the preparation protocol for dental pulp decellularization matrix (DPDM) was further optimized. To characterize the optimized DPDM, the microstructure, odontogenesis-related protein and fiber content were evaluated. Our results showed that the properties of optimized DPDM were superior to those of the non-optimized matrix. We also performed the 4D-Label-free quantitative proteomic analysis of DPDM and demonstrated the preservation of proteins from the natural pulp. This study provides a optimized protocol for the potential application of DPDM in pulp regeneration.
Improvement of disastrous extreme precipitation forecasting in North China by Pangu-weather AI-driven regional WRF model
Authors: Xu Hongxiong , Zhao Yang , Zhao Dajun , Duan Yihong , Xu Xiangde 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
In the realm of weather forecasting, the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a transformative approach. However, AI weather forecasting method still faces challenges in accurately predicting meso- and smaller-scale processes and failing to directly capture extreme precipitation due to regression algorithm’s nature, coarse resolution, and limitations in key variables like precipitation. Therefore, we propose a state-of-the-art technology which integrates the strengths of the Pangu-weather AI weather forecasting with the traditional regional weather model, focusing specifically on enhancing the prediction of extreme precipitation events, as mainly exemplified by an unprecedented precipitation in North China from 29 July to 1 August 2023, and an additional extraordinary precipitation event as a supplementary validation to further ensure the accuracy of this technology. The results show that the AI-driven approach exhibits superior performance in capturing the spatial and temporal dynamics of extreme precipitation events. Remarkably, with a threshold of 400 mm, the AI-driven model secures a Threat Score (TS) of 0.1 for forecast lead time reaching up to 8.5 d. This performance notably surpasses the performance of traditional GFS-Driven models, which achieve a similar TS only within a limited 3-day forecast lead time. This considerable enhancement in forecast accuracy, especially over extended lead times illustrates the AI-driven model’s potential to advance in long-term forecasts of extreme precipitation, previously considered challenging, emphasizing the potential of AI in augmenting and refining traditional weather prediction.
Policy and law: the case of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer
Authors: Parr Adam 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Agriculture occupies more than a third of the world’s land with many, large-scale impacts on the environment and human health. This article investigates the failure of policy to manage these impacts, asks whether private law can fill the gap, and what this means for policymakers. The investigation takes the form of a case study of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer (SNF) in English policy and law. The SNF industry has been chosen because, by its own account, it underpins the modern food system, which is recognized as needing urgent transformation. The article first assesses the damage caused by SNF to health and the environment and the potential legal remedies. It then assesses industry claims that SNF (a) provides food security, (b) is beneficial to soil and water, and (c) reduces greenhouse gas emissions. If misleading, these representations could amount to unlawful ‘greenwashing’. While private law can never replace good policy and regulation, the article concludes that there is evidence to enable private law to supplement policy, and that this role is made possible as well as necessary by the absence of effective regulation and enforcement. Private litigation could catalyze policymakers to implement the robust regulatory regime that agriculture demands. As the law must focus on scientific evidence and causation, it can also help elucidate and publicize the science on which policy is based. Finally, because of the strict constraints within which private litigation must operate, it can direct policymakers towards strategic interventions (or tipping points) that could catalyze systemic change.
Introduction
Authors: Cheeke Stephen 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This sets up the central concept of the person and its cognates in Pater’s work, emphasizing the intense and various ways it has shaped his vision, and the particular forms this book will focus upon: person and personhood, persona, personality, style, impersonality, many persons (metempsychosis), and reception. The introduction then looks at the philosophical background of thinking about persons, outlines some key nineteenth-century contexts, and considers Pater’s influence upon notions of the ‘self’ of modernity. It then places Pater in relation to contemporary critical, aesthetic, and philosophical perspectives. Finally, it offers a brief summary of the critical arguments for and against Pater, which have shaped his reception, and which have differed in emphasis around the valuation of personhood.
The One and the Many
Authors: Cheeke Stephen 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The philosophical question of the One and the Many is the subject of Chapter 5, which explores Pater’s interest in metempsychosis (the many persons through whom the individual transmigrating soul passes), one of the organizing perspectives for his thought. I trace the philosophical background to metempsychosis and show how it is linked in Pater’s writings with the Platonic idea of anamnēsis (knowledge as recollection). The second half of the essay connects metempsychosis and anamnēsis to Pater’s use of the Gods in Exile theme, to offer a new reading of Pater’s Imaginary Portrait ‘Apollo in Picardy’ (1893) in relation to the sections on Pythagoras in Plato and Platonism (published in the same year).
Following Pater
Authors: Cheeke Stephen 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This chapter shows how Pater’s work is centrally concerned with different types of persons drawing different conclusions from the same philosophical formulae, and with how and why philosophical axioms may lead to bad ways of living as well as to good. Divergence is a deeply ambivalent pathway inscribed within interpretation itself and the principle defining feature of Pater’s true aesthetic culture, I suggest, is the ease with which it may be misconstrued. In this he offers a particularly complex instance for thinking about the theory of literary reception and its pathways of interpretation through different personalities and temperaments, with relevance to the phenomena of Decadence and antinomianism at the fin de siècle. The chapter offers a new reading of his relationship with Oscar Wilde through Pater’s last, unfinished novel, Gaston de Latour (1896), and considers the perpetual self-returns, and indeed repentances, of Pater’s own writing.
The efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants in the treatment of the acute phase of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia: A systematic review
Authors: Sadowski Cooper , Reinert Justin P 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Purpose
To investigate the safety and efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in the treatment of the acute phase of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT).

Summary
A systematic review of the literature was conducted on PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science Core Collection through July 2023. Search terms included “heparin-induced thrombocytopenia AND direct-oral-anticoagulants” in addition to a list of oral anticoagulants. Adult patients who used direct oral anticoagulants as the initial treatment for the acute phase of HIT were included. A total of 1,188 articles were initially identified, with 770 articles reviewed following removal of duplicates. Following the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 12 articles were ultimately included. Rivaroxaban was the most-utilized DOAC (28 patients), followed by apixaban (7 patients) and dabigatran (1 patient). All patients with thrombocytopenia demonstrated successful platelet recovery, with two patients presenting with normal platelet counts. One patient developed a deep venous thrombosis with no other new or recurrent thromboses. There were no reported clinically significant adverse events in any patient. Obstacles and deterrents to the use of the standards of care in the acute phase of HIT exist. Argatroban and bivalirudin require intravenous infusion and require close aPTT monitoring and dose adjustment. Fondaparinux requires injection and is contraindicated with body weight &lt;50kg. DOACs would offer the novel ability for an oral treatment in the treatment of the acute phase HIT and allow for minimal monitoring and consistent dosing strategies. Therefore, DOACs are an intriguing choice for the treatment of the acute phase of HIT.

Conclusion
Data from 12 publications and across 36 patients suggests that the use of DOACs in the acute phase of HIT may be a safe and efficacious treatment option with favorable ease of monitoring and management.
Evaluation of noise levels and noise sources in an Irish neonatal intensive care unit
Authors: McCallig Margaret , Pakrashi Vikram , Durkin Carmel 
Published: April 2024

AbstractObjectivesThis study: (i) quantified the typical noise levels in an Irish neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and compared the values to recommendations by the American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) and the European Standards for Care for Newborn Health (EFCNI) and to occupational exposure limit value and exposure action values; and (ii) qualified the perception of noise levels and the sources of noise across the various stakeholders within a typical NICU.MethodsA noise survey was conducted in an Irish NICU. Observations identified practices and behaviours in the NICU that potentially had an impact on noise levels. Noise levels were compared to occupational exposure limits and AAP and EFCNI standards. A noise perception survey was conducted to identify noise sources and awareness of noise levels in the NICU. Results were analysed using SPSS Statistics to determine statistical significance.ResultsNoise levels recorded were consistent with previous similar studies and in all cases, the average noise levels recorded exceeded the 45 dBA as recommended by the AAP and EFCNI. There was a statistically significant difference (P &lt; 0.01) between noise levels recorded on the day shift compared to the night shift. The perception of noise levels reported by nurses versus parents was found to be statistically significant (P = 0.001). 38.3% of all respondents reported having received no information or training with regard to noise in the NICU. There was a statistically significant difference in the perception of who is most likely to be affected by noise in the NICU, with nurses reporting those most likely to be affected by noise were patients, and parents reporting those most likely to be affected were staff (P = 0.003).ConclusionsThis study supports the hypothesis that noise levels within the NICU are of concern and require regular assessment and monitoring. Training and awareness programmes are an important component to ensuring all persons in the NICU recognise their potential impact on noise levels in the NICU and in reducing the risk for patients and staff.
Vectorial Analysis of Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift
Authors: Talei Benjamin , Gould Dan , Ziai Hedyeh 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Background
The vector of aging and consequently the vector of lift in rhytidectomy has aided surgeons in improving movement of tissues during facial rejuvenation procedures.

Objectives
The goal was to analyze the vector of lift in patients undergoing primary and revisional facelift to achieve proper vectorial lifting.

Methods
Patients undergoing deep-plane facelift surgery were included for analysis. Intraoperative photographs and measurements were taken of the skin, superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), and platysmal suture suspension with mastoid crevasse inset. Measurements were compared between patients who were undergoing primary vs secondary surgery, site of lift, age, and gender.

Results
Seventy-one patients (90% female, mean age 57.8) with a total of 142 hemifaces were analyzed, 57 (73%) of which were primary and 14 (27%) secondary facelifts. The average vector of SMAS lifting was 70.8°. Females had a more vertical vector than males (71.3° vs 65.4°; P &lt; .01). The average vectors of platysmal and skin lift were 87.0° and 58.2°, respectively. There was intrapatient difference between hemifaces. Despite there being more intersuture disparity in secondary cases than primary cases (16.9° vs 4.5°; P &lt; .05), the mean vector of lifting was similar between them.

Conclusions
Proper release of the deep plane helps determine the appropriate vectors of lift, without relying on guidelines based on population averages. Each patient presents with a unique vector required to correct their descent. This technique provides an optimal result by directly suspending against the vectors of greatest descent.
