Authors: Qin Chao , Sun Yanfen , Cao Desheng , Song Yanbin 
Published: December 2023

Insulation mortar was prepared with cement, mud from washing manufactured sand, wheat straw, vitrified microbead, polypropylene fibre and chemical admixture. Influence law of wheat straw on performance of cement insulation mortar was discussed. Influence factors included pretreatment method, dosage and length of straw. Features of straw surface pretreated by NaOH solution and bonding interface were observed by scanning electron microscopy. Dry density, compressive strength, thermal conductivity coefficient reduce with the increase of straw length and the decrease of soak time. When straw dosage increases, they decrease firstly, increase later. Straw reduces the mass loss of cement insulation mortar treated at temperature below 500℃. Straw surface pretreated by NaOH solution becomes rough. There are trenches with widths about a few microns. It makes a better interface combination between straw and cement matrix.

Published: December 2023

Composite coating was prepared on magnesium alloy AZ31B through different hyamine intercalated montmorillonite (MMT) doping in glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) hydrolyzed hybrid sol-gel system. Corrosion behaviors of different coated samples were investigated using potentiodynamic polarization. The results indicated an improvement of protective performance when modified MMT doped in, and the CC-MMT doped sol-gel coating showed better corrosion resistance than the CTA-MMT doped one. Combining the MMT characterization and structure of the coating, it could be concluded that this difference came from the tough bonding between CC-MMT and sol-gel system, while that did not exist in CTA-MMT/sol-gel coating. Due to this tough bonding, CC-MMT could guide the assembly of hydrolyzed silane molecules and silica sol particles, thus a denser structure and better protection performance.

Hungary’s latest judicial reform in May 2023 came in response to EU decisions to suspend the country’s access to funds due to serious rule of law concerns. The reform aimed, among other things, to strengthen the independence of the Kúria, the Supreme Court of Hungary. Experience to date shows that while on the level of formal legal rules, some improvements towards the rule of law have been made, in actual daily practice, the opposite is happening: While steps have been taken to restore the independence of the Kúria, the Chief Justice is working on further eroding the independence of individual judges.

Background
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widely used as probiotics in poultry production due to their resilience to low pH and high bile salt concentrations, as well as their beneficial effects on growth performance and antagonistic activity against enteric pathogens. However, the efficacy of probiotics depends on strain selection and their ability to colonize the host’s intestine. This study aimed to select, identify, and evaluate LAB strains isolated from chicken feces in Thailand for potential use as probiotics in the chicken industry.

Methods
LAB strains were isolated from 58 pooled fresh fecal samples collected from chicken farms in various regions of Thailand, including commercial and backyard farms. Gram-positive rods or cocci with catalase-negative characteristics from colonies showing a clear zone on MRS agar supplemented with 0.5% CaCO3 were identified using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The LAB isolates were evaluated for acid (pH 2.5 and pH 4.5) and bile salt (0.3% and 0.7%) tolerance. Additionally, their cell surface properties, resistance to phenol, antimicrobial activity, hemolytic activity, and presence of antimicrobial resistance genes were determined.

Results
A total of 91 LAB isolates belonging to the Pediococcus, Ligilactobacillus, Limosilactobacillus, and Lactobacillus genera were obtained from chicken feces samples. Backyard farm feces exhibited a greater LAB diversity compared to commercial chickens. Five strains, including Ligilactobacillus salivarius BF12 and Pediococcus acidilactici BF9, BF14, BYF20, and BYF26, were selected based on their high tolerance to acid, bile salts, and phenol. L. salivarius BF12 and P. acidilactici BF14 demonstrated strong adhesion ability. The five LAB isolates exhibited significant cell-cell interactions (auto-aggregation) and co-aggregation with Salmonella. All five LAB isolates showed varying degrees of antimicrobial activity against Salmonella strains, with P. acidilactici BYF20 displaying the highest activity. None of the LAB isolates exhibited beta-hemolytic activity. Whole genome analysis showed that L. salivarius BF12 contained ermC, tetL, and tetM, whereas P. acidilactici strains BF9 and BF14 carried ermB, lnuA, and tetM.

Conclusion
The selected LAB isolates exhibited basic probiotic characteristics, although some limitations were observed in terms of adhesion ability and the presence of antibiotic resistance genes, requiring further investigation into their genetic location. Future studies will focus on developing a probiotic prototype encapsulation for application in the chicken industry, followed by in vivo evaluations of probiotic efficacy.

ImportanceFirst-generation (FG) medical students remain underrepresented in medicine despite ongoing national efforts to increase diversity; understanding the challenges faced by this student population is essential to building holistic policies, practices, and learning environments that promote professional actualization. Although FG students have been extensively studied in the undergraduate literature, there is little research investigating how FG students experience medical education or opportunities for educators to intervene.ObjectiveTo explore challenges that FG students experience in undergraduate medical education and identify opportunities to improve foundational FG support.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis qualitative study was conducted using an online platform with 37 FG students enrolled in 27 US medical schools. An interprofessional team of medical educators and trainees conducted semistructured interviews from November 2021 through April 2022. Participants were recruited using a medical student listserv. Data were analyzed from April to November 2022.Main Outcomes and MeasuresAfter conducting a preliminary analysis using open coding, a codebook was created and used in a thematic analysis; the codebook used a combination of deductive and inductive coding.ResultsAmong the 37 students recruited for this study, 21 (56.8%) were female; 23 (62.2%) were in the clinical phase of training; 1 (2.7%) was American Indian or Alaska Native, 7 (18.9%) were Hispanic, Latino, or of Spanish origin, 8 (21.6%) were non-Hispanic Asian or Asian American, 9 (24.3%) were non-Hispanic Black or African American, and 23 (32.4%) were non-Hispanic White; mean (SD) age was 27.3 (2.8) years. Participants described 4 major themes: (1) isolation and exclusion related to being a newcomer to medicine; (2) difficulty with access to basic resources (eg, food, rent, transportation) as well as educational (eg, books); (3) overall lack of faculty or institutional support to address these challenges; and (4) a sense of needing to rely on grit and resilience to survive.Conclusions and RelevanceAlthough grit and resilience are desirable traits, results of this study suggest that FG medical students face increased adversity with inadequate institutional support, which forces them to excessively rely on grit and resilience as survival (rather than educational) strategies. By applying the holistic model often used in admissions to the postmatriculation educational process, targeted and flexible initiatives can be created for FG students so that all students, regardless of background, can achieve robust professional actualization.
Robust adaptive vibration control of a gantry crane system with flexible cable

Published: December 2023

SummaryIn this paper, a robust adaptive vibration control method for gantry crane system is proposed considering unknown parameters brought by unknown payload, cable length and tension. The control objective is to transport the cargo to the desired position while suppressing the vibration of the cable in the presence of unknown parameters. For this purpose, a boundary controller is designed with an adaptive law to compensate the parameter uncertainty of the system. The well‐posedness of the closed‐loop system is proved by means of operator semigroup theory and the asymptotic stability of the closed‐loop system is analyzed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control approach is demonstrated through both numerical simulation comparisons and physical experiments.
