Abstract
Improper disposal and accumulation of waste tire rubbers have posed a serious threat to the development of a circular economy, a sustainable environment, and human health. In light of the drawback of the current waste management of waste tires, the recycling and transformation of reclaimed rubber (RR) into valuable end products has received significant attention from industries and the academic field. Herein, we propose a facile method to reuse RR in developing closed-cell elastomeric foams based on ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM). Rheometry results revealed that the introduction of RR up to 20 phr, increased the cure rate from 11.7 to 13.48%/min, reduced curing time from 12.21 to 9.3 min and also increased ultimate torque from 6.51 to 7.24 N.m. Morphological studies indicated that the RR increased the cell density from 12 to 78 cell/mm3 and reduced the number average cell size from 940 to 110 µm. The mechanical results indicated that the introduction of RR could be a feasible alternative for the fabrication of high-performance EPDM foams with improved hardness and resilience. By increasing RR content of EPDM/RR foams, the relative density and cell density of EPDM/RR foams increased, while cell size decreased. The introduction of 10 phr of RR, increased the hardness and resilience of the EPDM foam by 37 shore A and 68%, respectively. The research verified that the attempt to use RR to produce a good foam structure was found to be successful. The results open a way for EPDM/RR foam composites to be applied for sealing and gasket industries as an eco-friendly replacement for virgin products.

Highlights
• Use of reclaimed rubber from waste tires as secondary raw material for EPDM rubber foams
• Tire-derived reclaimed rubber/EPDM closed-cell foams support the circular economy of waste tires
• Tire-derived reclaimed rubber/EPDM closed-cell foams exhibit superior mechanical properties at the low cost

AbstractInsecticides are dedicated to impair the insect organisms, but also have an impact on other, non-target organisms, including humans. In this way, they became important risk factor for disturbance of physiological homeostasis and can be involved in the development of diseases or in deterioration of existing conditions. The influence of sublethal doses of various insecticides on vertebrates’ and invertebrates’ organisms has been previously observed. In this paper, we have evaluated the impact of exposure to extremely low dose of neurotoxin, bendiocarb (0.1 nM), a commonly used carbamate insecticide on a model organism in neurobiology—Periplaneta americana. The assessment was performed on all levels of animal organism from molecular (oxidative stress parameters: phosphorylation level of proteins, cAMP level, protein kinase A and C levels, and octopamine) to physiological (heart beat and gas exchange tests) and behavioral (motor skills assay, grooming test). Exposure to such a low level of bendiocarb did not cause direct paralysis of insects, but changed their grooming behavior, decreased heart rate, and increased gas exchange. We also observed the increased parameters of oxidative stress as well as stressogenic response to 0.1 nM bendiocarb exposure. Exposure to a trace amount of bendiocarb also increased sensitivity to effective doses of the same insecticide, thus acts as preconditioning. These results force us to reconsider the possible risk from frequent/continuous exposure to traces of pesticide residues in the environment to human health.
Effect of Microstructure of Additively Manufactured Inconel 625 on Long-Term Corrosion Behaviour in Sulfuric Acid Media
Authors: Gola K. , Ledwig P. , Dubiel B. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe aim of this work was to investigate the effect of the microstructure of Inconel 625 additively manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and laser-assisted directed energy deposition (LDED) on the resistance to corrosion in sulfuric acid solution. Corrosion tests lasted 30 days, 90 days and 180 days. Microstructure characterization was performed using light microscopy, scanning and scanning-transmission electron microscopy. Corrosion resistance measurements were conducted using polarization curves and impedance spectroscopy. After immersion in sulfuric acid, the corrosion pits were observed on the surface. The area fraction of corrosion pits increased with prolongation of the test and after 180 days was equal to 9.63% and 4.49% in LPBF and LDED specimens, respectively. The higher density of the pits occurred along the boundaries of the melt pools, grain boundaries and cell walls and next to precipitates. It was determined that higher drop in impedance and increase in corrosion current occurred in LPBF than LDED Inconel 625, which was mainly related to a more intensive propagation of corrosion pits in areas with higher free energy. Furthermore, the weaker corrosion resistance is related to a more refined microstructure with a higher density of the preferential sites of localized corrosion after long-term corrosion in sulfuric acid.
Evolution of ‘India’s Neighbourhood First Policy’ Since Independence

Published: February 2023

AbstractThe ‘Neighbourhood First Policy’ is the anchor point of India’s general foreign policy since independence in 1947. Subsequently, the Neighbourhood First Policy has evolved, was debilitated, and has been reformed under the various prime ministers of India. Based on preferences and perceptions about the South Asian neighbourhood, the Neighbourhood First Policy has been implemented differently. This article aims to analyse the Neighbourhood First Policy of India under four different prime ministers (Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Inder Kumar Gujral, and Narendra Modi). The article investigates the pretexts behind each premier’s way of handling the Neighbourhood First Policy followed by an empirical analysis.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
The demand for sexual life makes vaginoplasty a crucial need for patients who had complete vagina agenesis. We present our experience on vaginoplasty by using a maximum amount of meshing oral mucosal grafts in a case series study on 43 patients. The patients were followed up for an average of 19 months, ranging from 6 months to 4 years. No serious complications were reported. The patients gained good results also at neovagina and donor sites. These results were proved on clinical, endoscopy images, and biopsies. We recommend seven tips in the techniques to be used to achieve these significant results.

AbstractAortic stenosis is a condition which is fatal if left untreated. Novel quantitative imaging techniques which better characterise transvalvular pressure drops are being developed but require refinement and validation. A customisable and cost-effective workbench valve phantom circuit capable of replicating valve mechanics and pathology was created. The reproducibility and relationship of differing haemodynamic metrics were assessed from ground truth pressure data alongside imaging compatibility. The phantom met the requirements to capture ground truth pressure data alongside ultrasound and magnetic resonance image compatibility. The reproducibility was successfully tested. The robustness of three different pressure drop metrics was assessed: whilst the peak and net pressure drops provide a robust assessment of the stenotic burden in our phantom, the peak-to-peak pressure drop is a metric that is confounded by non-valvular factors such as wave reflection. The peak-to-peak pressure drop is a metric that should be reconsidered in clinical practice.

Bounded weak solutions to superlinear Dirichlet double phase problems
Authors: Sciammetta Angela , Tornatore Elisabetta , Winkert Patrick 
Published: February 2023

AbstractIn this paper we study a Dirichlet double phase problem with a parametric superlinear right-hand side that has subcritical growth. Under very general assumptions on the data, we prove the existence of at least two nontrivial bounded weak solutions to such problem by using variational methods and critical point theory. In contrast to other works we do not need to suppose the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition.
Prospects of Merger Review in the Digital Age: A Critical Look at the EU, the United States, and Germany
Authors: Richter Heiko 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis article takes a critical look at merger law and practice in the EU, the United States, and Germany regarding data-related transactions. It focuses on the current legal standard and evaluates the recent decision practice in these jurisdictions. This includes the increasing implementation of data-related remedies, such as data access and data separation commitments, which have so far not been the focus of scholarly attention. On this basis, the article discusses the prospects of merger review within the framework of current policy reform debates. It concludes with recommendations for future legislative action in Germany and the EU. In particular, the legislature should implement a tightened and better suited merger review regime for dominant undertakings in digital markets.

ZusammenfassungHintergrundRoutinedaten aus der Abrechnung von Gesundheitsleistungen und der Dokumentation der Gesundheitsversorgung gewinnen zunehmend an Bedeutung für wissenschaftliche Analysen – auch in der Allgemeinmedizin. Dies spiegelt sich auch in einer steigenden Zahl an Publikationen, denen eine Routinedatenanalyse zugrunde liegt, wider. Eine kritische Reflektion der Stärken und Schwächen von Routinedatenanalysen in der Gesundheitsforschung ist essenziell.Ziel der ArbeitDieser Artikel soll die Leser*innen befähigen, eine kritische Einordnung von auf Routinedaten beruhenden Studien systematisch und kriteriengestützt vorzunehmenMaterial und MethodenNutzung vorhandener Leitlinien, selektiver Literaturrecherche und Expertise der Autor*innen.ErgebnisseRoutinedaten („Sekundärdaten“) sind im Vergleich zu Daten aus klassischen prospektiven Interventions- und Beobachtungsstudien mit Primärdatenerhebung kostengünstiger und vergleichsweise schneller verfügbar sowie in der Regel mit einem geringeren Selektionsbias behaftet und damit eher geeignet, die tatsächliche Versorgungsrealität abzubilden. Ein weiterer Vorteil zeigt sich in hohen Fallzahlen und damit der Möglichkeit der Analyse von Subgruppen, auch mit seltenen Merkmalen, die in Studien mit Primärdatenerhebung häufig nicht in ausreichender Fallzahl verfügbar sind. Dem gegenüber stehen Limitation auf Grund der Qualität und Validität der Daten, die die Aussagekraft von Routinedatenanalysen gegebenenfalls einschränken und durch geeignete Methoden, wie interne und externe Validierung, adressiert werden können.DiskussionDie Routinedatenanalyse ist eine wichtige Methode der Gesundheitsforschung, insbesondere um die Versorgungsrealität, auch für Subgruppen mit seltenen Merkmalen, abbilden zu können.

Wie evaluieren wir die Förderung von Qualität und Effizienz der allgemeinmedizinischen Weiterbildung durch die Kompetenzzentren?
Authors: Huenges Bert , Roos Marco , Schwill Simon , Jendyk Ralf Michael , Vollmar Horst Christian , Bischoff Martina 
Published: February 2023

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
In den vergangenen Jahren wurden in Deutschland 16 Kompetenzzentren für allgemeinmedizinische Weiterbildung (KW) mit dem Ziel gegründet, die Qualität und Effizienz der hausärztlichen Weiterbildung zu fördern. Ziel der Studie war es, geeignete Indikatoren für die externe Evaluation der KW zu identifizieren.

Methoden
Expert*innen aus den KW erarbeiteten ein Set aus möglichen Qualitätsindikatoren in 2 konsekutiven Workshops. Dieses Set wurde in einem 2‑stufigen Delphi-Prozess unter allen KW überarbeitet und priorisiert. Insgesamt nahmen im Zeitraum Februar bis Oktober 2020 70 Expert*innen aus 16 KW teil, davon 38 Expert*innen an beiden Befragungsrunden.

Ergebnisse
Die Expert*innen schlagen 61 mögliche Qualitätsindikatoren in 9 Themenbereichen vor: 1) Inanspruchnahme/Teilnahmequoten, 2) Qualität der praktischen Weiterbildung, 3) Qualität der KW-Angebote, 4) Organisation/Service, 5) objektive Kompetenzmessungen, 6) Erfolgs- und Abschlussquoten, 7) Versorgungsqualität und -quantität, 8) allgemeine Effekte und 9) Effizienz/Weiterbildungsdauer. Davon wurden 26 hoch, 18 mittelgradig und 17 gering priorisiert.

Schlussfolgerungen
Insbesondere quantitativ leicht zu erhebende Qualitätsindikatoren der Bereiche 1, 3, 4, 6 und 9 sind größtenteils etabliert und sollten für die Evaluation der KW fortgeführt werden. Darüber hinaus sollten geeignete Methoden zu inhaltlich-qualitativen Indikatoren, wie der Kompetenzentwicklung von Teilnehmer*innen in der Selbstwahrnehmung (3), der praktischen Weiterbildung (2), objektive Kompetenzmessung nach der Weiterbildung (5), zu allgemeinen Effekten (8) und zu Auswirkungen der KW auf die Versorgungsqualität (7), entwickelt werden. Methodisch wäre der Vergleich von Teilnehmer*innen und Nichtteilnehmer*innen durch eine externe, systematische Befragung erstrebenswert, sowohl während als auch nach der Weiterbildung. Verfahren zur objektiven Kompetenzbeurteilung von Absolvent*innen sollten in der allgemeinmedizinischen Weiterbildung etabliert werden.

AbstractWhile breast-feeding is the recommended feeding mode in infancy, rates are low in some Western societies, and infants are widely fed formula. France, in particular, shows high rates of infant formula use, including formulas with protein hydrolysates. The degree of protein hydrolysis has previously been associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes. The present study examines the associations between the protein’s hydrolysis degree in infant formula and child neurodevelopment up to 3·5 years of age in the French nationwide Étude Longitudinale Française depuis l’Enfance (ELFE study). Parents reported on brand and name of the formula used at 2 months, and protein hydrolysis degree was derived from the ingredient list. Analyses were based on 6979 infants (92·2, 6·8 and 1 % consuming non-hydrolysed, partially and extensively hydrolysed formulas, respectively). Neurodevelopment was assessed at age 1 and 3·5 years with the Child Development Inventory (CDI), at age 2 years with the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories and at age 3·5 years with the Picture Similarities sub-scale (British Ability Scales). Associations between protein hydrolysis degree and child neurodevelopment were assessed using linear and logistic regression for overall scores and poor CDI sub-domain scores (<25th centile), respectively. Among formula-fed infants, protein hydrolysis degree in infant formula was not associated with overall neurodevelopmental scores up to 3·5 years. Some associations were found with the motor skills CDI sub-domain, but they were not consistent at 1 and 3·5 years as well as across sensitivity analyses. The use of hydrolysed formula appears safe in terms of overall neurodevelopment, and research should further investigate specific neurodevelopmental domains.
Pour une lecture déflationniste du doute cartésien

Published: February 2023

RésuméL'on considère, selon une interprétation largement soutenue, que nous assistons dans la Méditation première à une montée en puissance du doute reposant sur une efficacité croissante des raisons de douter. Nous suggérons ici que nous pouvons défendre une lecture déflationniste du doute des Méditations en ce que la succession des arguments sceptiques utilisés par Descartes accuse une courbe d'efficacité décroissante. Cette lecture n'est bien évidemment pas sans conséquences, évoquées en conclusion, sur l'interprétation de l'exercice même du doute et, plus fondamentalement, de la doctrine cartésienne de la connaissance.
Helminth parasites of the wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus in Southern England: levels of infection, species richness and interactions between species
Authors: Lewis J. W. , Morley N. J. , Behnke J. M. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Helminth parasites of the wood mouse, Apodemus sylvaticus (n = 440), were surveyed in five localities, comprising woodland and grassland sites, in Southern England. Seven species of helminths were identified, among which Heligmosomoides polygyrus and Syphacia stroma were dominant (prevalence = 79.1% and 54.1%, respectively). Less common species were the trematode Corrigia vitta (14.8%), cestodes Catenotaenia pusilla (8.4%), Hydatigera taeniaeformis (4.1%) and Microsomacanthus crenata (3.4%) and the nematode Aonchotheca murissylvatici (0.2%). Differences in prevalences between localities were found for H. polygyrus, H. taeniaeformis and M. crenata and in abundances of H. polygyrus, S. stroma and C. vitta. Age-dependent increases in both parameters were identified among species and for helminth species richness. The only species to show significant host sex bias was S. stroma with prevalence values being higher in male mice. A number of different methods for exploiting raw data, and data corrected for significant confounding factors, were used to determine whether there were significant associations (prevalence) between species or quantitative interactions (abundance). The strongest evidence for a positive association was shown in concurrent infections with the trematode C. vitta and the cestode C. pusilla (significant in the whole dataset and evident in each locality, both sexes and both age classes). The abundance of C. pusilla was also higher in mice with C. vitta and vice versa. Overall, however, there was little support for associations or quantitative interactions between species, especially after data had been corrected for significant extrinsic/intrinsic factors, and we conclude that the helminths of wood mice in these communities are largely non-interactive and hence, perhaps better referred to as assemblages.
Between an archipelago and an ice floe: The know-where of Arctic governance expertise
Authors: Kuus Merje 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis paper examines the production of Arctic governance expertise, understood here as the specialised knowledge through which international cooperation is regulated in the region. Instead of presuming that such expertise is created primarily in the capitals of Arctic states, I ask a more open-ended question:wherespecifically does that process take place? I argue that Arctic governance expertise increasingly operates in a transnational and networked fashion: an array of think tanks, foundations and events like conferences are as important as the obvious places like foreign ministries and universities. It is a quasi-diplomatic social field characterised by blurry boundaries between different states, professions and institutional settings: between government and academia, legal and political fields, public and private sectors. The paper foregrounds that field of expertise as an object of study.
‘Draw me after you’: Toward an erotic theosis
Authors: Davis Aaron Brian 
Published: February 2023

AbstractIn this article I propose an erotic theosis as a fruitful possibility for conceptualising our final participation in union with God in the beatific vision and for imaging said participation on earth. Particularly, I propose a synthesis of recent work from Oliver Crisp on theosis with that of Sarah Coakley on sexual desire as an especially helpful way in which to conceive of our ever-deepening participation in God's love. Further, this synthesis uses contributions from Erin Dufault-Hunter on the intersections of sexual desire and ethics as a catalyst for its recommendations.
What We Talk about When We Talk about Live Smooth Jazz: Sonic Suburbanization, Multipurpose Places of Assembly, and Collective Memory in Regional Cleveland
Authors: Blake George 
Published: February 2023

AbstractWriting about jazz often emphasizes urbanity and focuses on a geographically bounded scene. This can obscure what people do with jazz to affirm community across distances, in the context of Black suburbanization. Likewise, the construction of jazz as an art music oriented around a canonical past does not allow a full understanding of what musicians do with commercial culture to construct community in the present. In this article, I present the notion of sonic suburbanization to foreground the ways Black people exert agency through musicking, claiming suburban space and affirming community across urban and suburban lines. This is live performance that is “both/and”: Both suburban and urban; both community and commercial. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Cleveland, this research focuses on the ways live smooth jazz performers invoke multiple musical histories while congregating heterogeneous Black identities across boundaries. To demonstrate the crossovers of live smooth jazz, I begin by outlining the idea of sonic suburbanization. I then note the proximity of Black music genres in a context of racial segregation. Despite suburbanization's role in dislocating Black geographic cohesion, live musical performance continues to affirm a crossover Black community through interposing an array of sensibilities. Finally, I point to the conceptual schemas of musicians in the scene who foreground continuity with jazz, pop, and gospel. Live smooth jazz performers take pride in rhetorical effectiveness and genre versatility as part of connecting to the audience. Although some scholars attend to smooth jazz outside “real jazz,” musicians in the scene view smooth jazz as real jazz.
