Disruption vs. evolution in laboratory medicine. Current challenges and possible strategies, making laboratories and the laboratory specialist profession fit for the future
Authors: Cadamuro Janne 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Since beginning of medical diagnostics, laboratory specialists have done an amazing job, continuously improving quality, spectrum and speed of laboratory tests, currently contributing to the majority of medical decision making. These improvements are mostly of an incremental evolutionary fashion, meaning improvements of current processes. Sometimes these evolutionary innovations are of a radical fashion, such as the invention of automated analyzers replacing manual testing or the implementation of mass spectrometry, leading to one big performance leap instead of several small ones. In few cases innovations may be of disruptive nature. In laboratory medicine this would be applicable to digitalization of medicine or the decoding of the human genetic material. Currently, laboratory medicine is again facing disruptive innovations or technologies, which need to be adapted to as soon as possible. One of the major disruptive technologies is the increasing availability and medical use of artificial intelligence. It is necessary to rethink the position of the laboratory specialist within healthcare settings and the added value he or she can provide to patient care. The future of the laboratory specialist profession is bright, as it the only medical profession comprising such vast experience in patient diagnostics. However, laboratory specialists need to develop strategies to provide this expertise, by adopting to the quickly evolving technologies and demands. This opinion paper summarizes some of the disruptive technologies as well as strategies to secure and/or improve the quality of diagnostic patient care and the laboratory specialist profession.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Although microbial remediation has been widely used in the bioremediation of various contaminants, in practical applications of biological remediation, pure cultures of microorganisms are seriously limited by their adaptability, efficiency, and capacity to handle multiple contaminants. Mixed cultures of microorganisms involve the symbiosis of two or more microorganisms. Such cultures exhibit a collection of the characteristics of each microorganism species or strain, showing enormous potential in the bioremediation of organic or heavy metal pollutants. The present review focuses on the mixed cultures of microorganisms, demonstrating its importance and summarizing the advantages of mixed cultures of microorganisms in bioremediation. Furthermore, the internal and external relations of mixed culture microorganisms were analyzed with respect to their involvement in the removal process to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
The surge of interest in ferrimagnetic materials over the years has been driven by their fascinating multifunctional properties. The elastic properties of these materials are a subject of much interest and vital importance due to their wide range of technological and industrial applications. In the present work, the structural and elastic properties of tetragonal copper ferrite (CuFe2O4) nanoparticles synthesized by a citrate assisted sol-gel auto combustion technique have been investigated. The nanocrystalline powder of copper ferrite was characterized by using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and UV–Visible spectroscopic techniques. The X-ray diffraction pattern revealed pure spinel structure of copper ferrite nanoparticles with Jahn–Teller tetragonal distortion. The band gap of copper ferrite nanoparticles was found to be 3.14 ± 0.03 eV using the diffuse reflectance spectra. The values of elastic moduli (Young’s modulus (E) = 186.3 ± 0.5 GPa, bulk modulus (B) = 124.1 ± 0.3 GPa, and rigidity modulus (G) = 74.4 ± 0.2 GPa) and Debye temperature (θ
D = 500.5 ± 0.5 K) suggest that the synthesized nano-structured copper ferrite is a promising candidate for high temperature and high pressure applications.
Can Non-Causal Explanations Answer the Leibniz Question?
Authors: Lemanski Jens 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Leibniz is often cited as an authority when it comes to the formulation and answer strategy of the question “Why is there something rather than nothing?” Yet much current research assumes that Leibniz advocates an unambiguous question and strategy for the answer. In this respect, one repeatedly finds the argument in the literature that alternative explanatory approaches to this question violate Leibniz’s intention, since he derives the question from the principle of sufficient reason and also demands a causal explanation to the question. In particular, the new research on non-causal explanatory strategies to the Leibniz question seems to concern this counter-argument. In this paper, however, I will argue that while Leibniz raises the question by means of the principle of sufficient reason, he even favours a non-causal explanatory strategy to the question. Thus, a more accurate Leibniz interpretation seems not only to legitimise but also to support non-causal explanations to the Leibniz question.

The Mythical Absolute: The Fiction of Being
Authors: Moss Gregory Scott 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The concept of “conceptual personae” is a contradiction in terms. On one sense of the term, personae are the characters in a work of art, such as a play or a novel. As characters, they are not common terms – King Lear is a particular; he is not a universal, for he cannot be shared in common. However, concepts are quite unlike King Lear. As universals, they are common terms that can be shared in common. “Conceptual personae” renders the particular universal and thereby declares the universal not to be universal. However, I argue that as long as philosophers maintain a traditional attitude toward conceptual truth, philosophers will not be able to successfully think the structure of being without appealing to the mythical imagination, of which conceptual personae form an essential constituent.

Abstract
The study on the mechanical properties of cross laminated timber (CLT) panels made from tropical hardwood species is essential in order to promote the use of CLT as buildings material in Malaysia. The objective of this study were to evaluate the mechanical performance and failure characteristics of CLT fabricated from tropical timbers species, namely, batai (Paraserianthes falcataria), sesendok (Endospermum malacensis), rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis) and kedondong (family Burceraceae). The modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), and compressive strength were determined. The failure characteristics of each samples were visually examined and recorded. The results indicated that CLT made from kedondong (KKK) had the highest value of MOR (82.63 N/mm2) and MOE (11,371.33 N/mm2) compared to other species. For compressive strength, CLT made from kedondong (KKK) and rubberwood (RRR) were not significantly different. The failure characteristics observed from bending test were tension, rolling shear and glue line failure while the crushing, shearing and splitting failure were found during compression test. Based on the results obtained, it showed that, the tropical hardwood is suitable to be used as raw material to produce CLT. However, more study should be conducted to observe the performance of CLT on durability and outdoor weathering.

Published: August 2022

AbstractAiming at the present situation that the effect of excitation type on typical ship grillage structure vibration is not fully revealed, different excitations are applied on typical ship grillage structure to study the effect of different excitation. Finite element method (FEM) is introduced to solve grillage vibration and sound radiation, and a test model is used to verify the effectiveness of the simulation method by comparing test results and simulation results. Mean square vibration velocity and acoustic power are compared to explore the effect of excitation type on grillage vibration. The research shows that the simulation method (FEM) is effective in grillage vibration and sound radiation; the peak frequency of acoustic power and mean square velocity of grillage structure under different excitation are basically the same; uniform distribution excitation is a better way to reduce structure vibration and noise.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
In recent years, TiO2/ZnO hybrid nanostructures have been attracting the interest of the scientific community due to their excellent photoelectrochemical properties. The main advantage of TiO2/ZnO hybrid nanostructures over other photocatalysts based on semiconductor materials lies in their ability to form heterojunctions in which the valence and conduction bands of both semiconductors are intercalated. This factor produces a decrease in the band gap and the recombination rate and an increase in the light absorption range. The aim of this review is to perform a revision of the main methods to synthesise TiO2/ZnO hybrid nanostructures by ZnO deposition on TiO2 nanotubes using electrochemical processes. Electrochemical synthesis methods provide an easy, fast, and highly efficient route to carry out the synthesis of nanostructures such as nanowires, nanorods, nanotubes, etc. They allow us to control the stoichiometry, thickness and structure mainly by controlling the voltage, time, temperature, composition of the electrolyte, and concentration of monomers. In addition, a study of the most promising applications for TiO2/ZnO hybrid nanostructures has been carried out. In this review, the applications of dye-sensitised solar cell, photoelectrocatalytic degradation of organic compounds, photoelectrochemical water splitting, gas sensors, and lithium-ion batteries have been highlighted.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Exposure to mycotoxins in food is largely unavoidable, and concerns about their health effects are growing. Consumption of vegetable oils such as peanuts oil has increased, hence several studies have been conducted on concentration of aflatoxins (AFs) in peanuts oil. Search was performed in Scopus and PubMed databases on prevalence and concentration of AFs in peanuts oil from 1 January 2005 to 15 April 29, 2022. Prevalence and concentration of AFs in peanuts oil was meta-analyzed based on country and type of AFs subgroups. In addition, health risk was calculated using monte carlo simulation method. Pooled prevalence of AFB1 in peanuts oil was 47.9%; AFB2, 46.45%; AFG1, 46.92% and AFG2, 54.01%. The Overall prevalence of AFTs was 49.30%, 95%CI (35.80–62.84%). Pooled concentration of AFB1 in peanuts oil was 2.30 μg/kg; AFB2, 0.77 μg/kg; AFG1, 0.07 μg/kg; AFG1, 0.28 μg/kg. The sort of country based on mean of MOEs in the adults consumers was Japan (47,059) > China (17,670) > Ethiopia (7,398) > Sudan (6,974) > USA (1,012) and sort of country based on mean of MOEs in the children was Japan (120,994) > China (46,991) > Ethiopia (19,251) > Sudan (18,200) > USA (2,620). Therefore, adults consumers were in considerable health risk in Ethiopia, Sudan and USA and for children in USA (MOE < 10,000).

Published: August 2022

Cel: Poznanie i przedstawienie obszarów, form i rodzajów aktywności społecznej wśród współczesnych działaczy lokalnych z powiatu tureckiego.
Metody: Do uzyskania wyczerpujących informacji wykorzystano wywiad narracyjny.
Wyniki: Prezeska klubu Honorowych Dawców Krwi jest działaczką lokalną, z którą autorka artykułu przeprowadziła wywiad do swojej pracy doktorskiej. Narratorka przedstawiła proces wzrastania do roli aktywistki oraz proces swojego rozwoju i przechodzenia przez kolejne etapy pracy społecznej. Początkowo działa spontanicznie i okazjonalnie. Gdy była odpowiednio zmotywowana, włączała się do różnych akcji i przedsięwzięć społecznych. Stopniowo angażowała się w pracę klubu, została członkinią, później została liderką grupy, a następnie prezesem. Do pracy motywuje ją idea ratowania ludzkiego życia
Wnioski: Badana jest prezesem, który angażuje się we wiele spraw dotyczących klubu. Woli mieć nad wszystkim pieczę i kontrolę. Uczy się delegować zadania, ale przychodzi jej to z trudem. Poświęca swój czas wolny, a nawet urlop.. Przyjmuje rolę matki strażniczki, rycerza chroniącego brać krewniaków i feministki broniącej praw kobiet. Uważa, że część działaczy pracuje społecznie z egoistycznych pobudek- na pokaz, dla uznania, lokalnej sławy lub ze względów politycznych.

The Life and Work of Muhammad Ibn Jarir al-Tabari
Authors: Bhat Samee-Ullah 
Published: August 2022

The third century of the Islamic era was a period of great intellectual attainments. It was in this period that some of the highest intellectual luminaries had risen on the horizon of Islamic learning, whose multiple contributions to multiple themes of Islam guided the later Muslim writers in diverse branches of knowledge. Abu Ja’far Muhammad Ibn Jarir al-Tabari was one of them who was a prolific writer, a Qur’anic exegete, a jurist, a traditionist and a historian and who produced prodigious works on all themes of Islamic learning including his work on Islamic history, Tarikh al-Tabari which has become an important source of information for many generations of historians of Islam. His second most influential and best known work is his work on Qur’anic commentary known as Tafsir al-Tabari which explains the text (sometimes word by word) based on its historical and lexicographical explanations. Miskawayah, Ibn Athir and Abul Fida were among the few Muslim historians who referred to the works of al-Tabari. He learnt fiqh and jurisprudence from various teachers and contributed a lot to the science of Islamic jurisprudence by writing a number of prominent works. Therefore, this research paper will focus on the on the life of Abu Ja’far Muhammad Ibn Jarir al-Tabari. This research paper will also explore his contributions to different fields of knowledge through his eminent works keeping in view the descriptive as well as analytical methodology.
Yield and risk associated with prolonged presurgical video‐EEG monitoring: a systematic review
Authors: van Griethuysen Renate , van Asch Charlotte J.J. , Otte Wim M. , Sander Josemir W. , Braun Kees P.J. 
Published: August 2022

AbstractObjective. Presurgical long‐term video‐EEG monitoring (LT‐VEEG) is an important part of the presurgical evaluation in patients with focal epilepsy. Multiple seizures need to be recorded, often in limited time and with the need to taper anti‐seizure medication (ASM). The aim of this study was to systematically study the yield – in terms of success – and risks associated with presurgical LT‐VEEG, and to identify all previously reported contributing variables.Methods. A systematic review of the databases of PubMed Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guideline. Publications about presurgical LT‐VEEG reporting on variables contributing to yield and risk were included. Study characteristics of all included studies were extracted following a standardized template. Within these articles, studies presenting multivariable analyses of factors contributing to the risk of adverse events or the success of LT‐VEEG were identified.Results. We found 36 articles reporting on LT‐VEEG, including 4,703 presurgical patients, both children and adults. Presurgical LT‐VEEG monitoring led to an average yield of 85%. Adverse events occurred with an averaged total event rate of 17%, but the type of included events was variable among studies. Factors reported to independently contribute to successful LT‐VEEG were: baseline seizure frequency, a shorter interval from the most recent seizure, extratemporal lobe epilepsy, and no requirement for ASM reduction. Factors independently contributing to the occurrence of adverse events were: ASM tapering, a history of status epilepticus, a history of focal to bilateral tonic‐clonic seizures, psychiatric comorbidity, and ASM taper rate.Significance. This study reveals that the data on factors contributing to yield and risk of adverse events is significant and variable, and often reported with inadequate statistics. Future research is warranted to develop guidelines for ASM withdrawal during presurgical video‐EEG monitoring, taking predefined factors for success and risks of adverse events into account.
Digital Intermediation and Consumer Relations: Legal Nature and Responsibility
Authors: Belov V. A. 
Published: August 2022

The paper is devoted to the study of the issue of information intermediation in the digital environment, determination of the place of the aggregators’ owners in the system of consumer relations and development of a general rule aimed at creating a uniform formula for determining the scope of rights, obligations and limits of responsibility of digital intermediaries in consumer legal relationships.Based on the conducted research, the author concludes that consumer relationships when transactions are made with the participation of the owners of aggregators indicate the existence of such a phenomenon as digital (online) intermediation, the manifestation of which has characteristic features depending on the degree of influence (involvement) of the activities of the owners of aggregators on the direct participants of such relations, i.e. on entrepreneurs and consumers. It is also noted that the role and function of a digital intermediary are made dependent on the involvement of the latter in the relationship between merchants and consumers. In order to determine the scope of rights, obligations and limits of responsibility of digital intermediaries, it is permissible to use the following formula: the greater the involvement of a digital intermediary in the relationship between entrepreneurs and consumers, the more rights, duties and responsibilities arise for the intermediary when interacting with direct participants in consumer relations.
