description: Aims: DsbA catalyzes disulfide bond formation in secreted and outer membrane proteins in bacteria. In pathogens, DsbA is a major facilitator of virulence constituting a target for antivirulence antimicrobial development. However, many pathogens encode multiple and diverse DsbA enzymes for virulence factor folding during infection. The aim of this study was to determine whether our recently identified inhibitors of Escherichia coli K-12 DsbA can inhibit the diverse DsbA enzymes found in two important human pathogens and attenuate their virulence. Results: DsbA inhibitors from two chemical classes (phenylthiophene and phenoxyphenyl derivatives) inhibited the virulence of uropathogenic E. coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, encoding two and three diverse DsbA homologues, respectively. Inhibitors blocked the virulence of dsbA null mutants complemented with structurally diverse DsbL and SrgA, suggesting that they were not selective for prototypical DsbA. Structural characterization of DsbA-inhibitor complexes showed that compounds from each class bind in a similar region of the hydrophobic groove adjacent to the Cys30-Pro31-His32-Cys33 (CPHC) active site. Modeling of DsbL- and SrgA-inhibitor interactions showed that these accessory enzymes could accommodate the inhibitors in their different hydrophobic grooves, supporting our in vivo findings. Further, we identified highly conserved residues surrounding the active site for 20 diverse bacterial DsbA enzymes, which could be exploited in developing inhibitors with a broad spectrum of activity. Innovation and Conclusion: We have developed tools to analyze the specificity of DsbA inhibitors in bacterial pathogens encoding multiple DsbA enzymes. This work demonstrates that DsbA inhibitors can be developed to target diverse homologues found in bacteria. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 29, 653-666.

Forschungsdatenmanagement (FDM) gewinnt an den Hochschulen in Brandenburg eine immer größere Bedeutung. Für den Aufbau und die Institutionalisierung eines nachhaltigen FDM an den brandenburgischen Hochschulen ist eine möglichst genaue Ermittlung des aktuellen Kenntnisstandes der Forschenden und deren Bedarfe bezüglich des Umgangs mit Forschungsdaten erforderlich. Hierzu diente die Bedarfserhebung, die im Rahmen des vom BMBF und dem MWFK geförderten Projekts IN-FDM-BB durchgeführt wurde. Beteiligt an der brandenburgweiten Umfrage waren alle acht staatlichen forschenden Hochschulen: vier Universitäten (die Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus – Senftenberg (BTU), die Filmuniversität Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF (FB), die Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) (EUV) und die Universität Potsdam (UP)) und vier Hochschulen für Angewandte Wissenschaften (die Fachhochschule Potsdam (FHP), die Hochschule für nachhaltige Entwicklung Eberswalde (HNEE), die Technische Hochschule Brandenburg (THB) und die Technische Hochschule Wildau (THW)). Die Hochschulen unterscheiden sich erheblich in ihrer Größe und fachlichen Ausrichtung. So hat die UP deutlich über 20.000 Studierende und über 1.900 Professor*innen und akademische Mitarbeiter*innen, die FB hingegen, weniger als 1.000 Studierende und ca. 140 Professor*innen und akademische Mitarbeiter*innen. Landesweit sind fast alle Fachdisziplinen vertreten, jedoch mit unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkten je Hochschule.

Das Ziel der Bedarfserhebung war, den Kenntnisstand bezüglich des professionellen Umgangs mit Forschungsdaten der Forschenden an den einzelnen Hochschulen zu ermitteln, FDM-Bedarfe zu erkennen und daraus mögliche FDM-Aktivitäten für die jeweilige Hochschule abzuleiten. Die Bedarfserhebung richtete sich daher in erster Linie an die Forschenden der jeweiligen Hochschule.

description: Abstract: In the evolving landscape of international trade, the legal frameworks guiding commercial transactions are paramount. This study delves into a comparative analysis of three pivotal instruments: the Sale of Goods Act of Ghana, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC). By juxtaposing these systems, the research unveils both harmonies and dissonances, each bearing implications for businesses and policymakers. While they converge on universal commercial imperatives like good faith and predictability, their divergences highlight jurisdictional idiosyncrasies and socio-economic variances.

Drawing from this intricate analysis, the study posits the need for strategic harmonization, emphasizing an adaptive framework that respects the unique value of each system. It underscores the pivotal role of businesses in adeptly navigating these regimes and the ensuing legal ramifications.

Findings:

The authors juxtaposed that as the global business commerce surges, the should be an open ended cross cutting international legislations that can let specific regions adopt and develop tailored legal and business practice frame works to suit their regions and countries. It was discovered that such measure are highly likely to be embraced by policy makers and political heads, business group, regulatory agencies and companies.  There was an emphasis made that a nuanced understanding of these frameworks becomes vital for a cohesive, cogent and fair business commerce for industry players.

description: Question: What are the attitudes, barriers and enablers to physical activity perceived by pregnant women? Design: In a systematic literature review, eight electronic databases were searched: AMED, CINAHL, Embase, Joanna Briggs Institute, Medline, PsycInfo, SPORTDiscus (from database inception until June 2016) and PubMed (from 2011 until June 2016). Quantitative data expressed as proportions were meta-analysed. Data collected using Likert scales were synthesised descriptively. Qualitative data were analysed thematically using an inductive approach and content analysis. Findings were categorised as intrapersonal, interpersonal or environmental, based on a social-ecological framework. Participants: Pregnant women. Intervention: Not applicable. Outcome measures: Attitudes and perceived barriers and enablers to physical activity during pregnancy. Results: Forty-nine articles reporting data from 47 studies (7655 participants) were included. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews and focus groups. Meta-analyses of proportions showed that pregnant women had positive attitudes towards physical activity, identifying it as important (0.80, 95% CI 0.52 to 0.98), beneficial (0.71, 95% CI 0.58 to 0.83) and safe (0.86, 95% CI 0.79 to 0.92). This was supported by themes emerging in 15 qualitative studies that reported on attitudes (important, 12 studies; beneficial, 10 studies). Barriers to physical activity were predominantly intrapersonal such as fatigue, lack of time and pregnancy discomforts. Frequent enablers included maternal and foetal health benefits (intrapersonal), social support (interpersonal) and pregnancy-specific programs. Few environmental factors were identified. Little information was available about attitudes, barriers and enablers of physical activity for pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus who are at risk from inactivity. Conclusion: Intrapersonal themes were the most frequently reported barriers and enablers to physical activity during pregnancy. Social support also played an enabling role. Person-centred strategies using behaviour change techniques should be used to address intrapersonal and social factors to translate pregnant women's positive attitudes into increased physical activity participation.

A Report on New VGOS Frequency Sequences Test Observations
Creators: name: Bernhart, Simone
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The IVS VGOS Technical Committee (IVS VTC) discussed several times on how to maximize the benefits of VGOS for geodesy and astrometry. Unused potential for improvement was identified in (a) increasing the synthesized bandwidth per VGOS observing band from 480 MHz to 1024 MHz, and (b) distributing the four VGOS frequency bands between 3 and 14 GHz instead of only up to 10.6 GHz as is currently the case. In order to demonstrate the feasibility and possible benefits by using that potential, a series of fringe tests and test sessions were carried out in late 2024, and further tests are planned for early 2025. The results of these tests are expected to provide important input to the efforts of the IVS to anchor the observed frequency channels in the ITU Radio Regulations, so that in the future more consideration could be given to VGOS radio telescopes with regard to unwanted radio radiation. To this end, the optimum VGOS frequency configurations are being sought, as they are to be used in the long term. On behalf of the group members, who carried out these tests, we will report on the performance of these sessions and present preliminary results and recommendations for suitable frequency setups, if possible.

description: Background Researchers have described a ‘culture of intoxication’ among young people. Yet drunkenness remains a socially risky practice with potential to evoke emotions of irritation and even disgust. We consider intoxicated practices that young adults in Melbourne, Australia, described as distasteful, to identify contemporary cultural forces that constrain intoxication and limit how it is enacted. Method Interviews were conducted with 60 participants in Melbourne, Australia, each with recent drinking experience. Participants were asked to provide accounts of moments when they regarded their own or others’ drunken comportment as unsociable or unpleasant. Transcripts were analysed to identify recurrent themes. Results Despite amusement when recounting drunken antics, almost everyone in the study identified some discomfort at their own or other's drunkenness. We describe four interacting domains where lines delineating acceptable comportment appear be drawn. The first concerns intoxicated practices. Unpleasant drunken comportment often entailed a sense that the drunk person had disturbed others through an overflow of the self − extruding intimacy, sexuality, violence or bodily fluids. The second domain was gendering, with women vulnerable to being regarded as sexually inappropriate, and men as threatening. Third, the settings where intoxicated behaviour occurred influenced whether intoxicated people risked censure. Finally, the relationships between the drunk person and others, including their respective social positions and drinking patterns, shaped how they were perceived. Conclusion The capacity of alcohol to render people more open to the world is both sought and reviled. It is important to recognise that there remain limits on acceptable drunken comportment, although these are complex and contingent. These limits are enforced via people's affective responses to drunkenness. This is form of alcohol harm reduction that occurs outside of public health intervention. Thus, cultures that constrain drinking should be supported wherever it is possible to do so without reinforcing stigmatising identities.

description: Malaria is an acute parasite-induced disorder caused because of infection induced by a species of plasmodium parasites. Thelife cycle of Plasmodium parasites occurs through 3 stages: Gametocytes, Sporozoites, and Merozoites. The onset of clinicalsymptoms happens within 7 days to 10 days of the initial mosquito bite have dormant forms called the hypnozoite stage.Malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum can be of 4 types: - asymptomatic, symptomatic, severe, or placental. Some factorslike hemoglobinopathy (sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, etc.), low oxygen saturation, Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenasedeficiency and dantu mutation in glycophorin molecules provide natural resistance against malaria. Generally, most ofantimalarial drugs (chloroquine, primaquine, etc.) work based on these molecular factors, responsible for providingresistance against malaria.

description: La santé et le bienêtre des individus sont tributaires à l’accès à une eau potable propre et à des services d’assainissement adéquats. Ces derniers mettent les populations à l’abri des pathologies d’origine hydrique, notamment la diarrhée.

En effet, les maladies d’origine hydrique représentent danger de taille pour la santé humaine, qui va au-delà de la prévention de la diarrhée. En réalité, Ils peuvent induire une variété de carences, particulièrement, les maladies parasitaires, les maladies transmises par l’eau et les maladies liées à la qualité de l’eau (Mara et al (2010). D’ailleurs Les Nations Unies sont conscientes de l’enjeu majeur que représentent l'accès à une eau potable sûre et au service d’assainissement pour tous. Porté par cette évidence, elles œuvrent, en concertation avec les gouvernements, pour gagner le challenge et garantir l’accès à une eau de qualité pour tous à l’horizon 2030.

Partant de l'hypothèse que l'accès à l'eau potable et à l'assainissement influence positivement le développement humain, cet article explore la littérature relative à la relation entre cet accès et l'Indice de Développement Humain (IDH). Ensuite, nous nous pencherons sur l’impact de l'accès à l'eau potable sur la santé humaine, dimension essentielle du calcul de l'IDH.

description: Introduction: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer or asexual (LGBTQA+) young people are at heightened risk of suicidality and psychological distress. Interventions in various forms are required to address this issue, which should be informed by the strengths, capacity and insight of LGBTQA+ young people. Methods: An online survey was promoted to LGBTQA+ young people (aged 14–21) via targeted social media advertising and community organisation dissemination, in late 2019. In addition to a range of health and wellbeing questions, all participants were asked, ‘What makes you feel good about yourself?’ The open-text responses were subject to a detailed, inductive thematic analysis. Results: In total, 4751 young people provided a short answer response to the question of what makes them feel good about themselves. The length of responses ranged from a few words to several paragraphs. Six key themes were identified. These included LGBTQA+ young people finding value in connection with significant others and finding affirmation for their gender and sexuality through their presentation and engagement with the world. In addition, participants talked about how they liked to engage with people they identified with or saw as role models, and how their creative outlets or making a positive difference in the world (e.g., through volunteering) helped them feel good about themselves. Conclusions: While ensuring that young LGBTQA+ people have access to mental health services and social/support programs is important, it is also essential that we acknowledge young people’s agency and the significance of everyday, informal acts which support young LGBTQA+ people to achieve desires for connection, acceptance, contribution, belonging and self-expression. Policy Implications: Findings reported in this paper offer some valuable insights for policy and programming, particularly in acknowledging and centring young people’s agency and capacity to make decisions and take action to express themselves, to find community and affirm their identity.

description: Rare species can play important functional roles, but human-induced changes to disturbance regimes, such as fire, can inadvertently affect these species. We examined the influence of prescribed burns on the recruitment and diversity of plant species within a temperate forest in southeastern Australia, with a focus on species that were rare prior to burning. Floristic composition was compared among plots in landscapes before and after treatment with prescribed burns differing in the extent of area burnt and season of burn (before–after, control-impact design). Floristic surveys were conducted before burns, at the end of a decade of drought, and 3 years postburn. We quantified the effect of prescribed burns on species grouped by their frequency within the landscape before burning (common, less common, and rare) and their life-form attributes (woody perennials, perennial herbs or geophytes, and annual herbs). Burn treatment influenced the response of rare species. In spring-burn plots, the recruitment of rare annual herbs was promoted, differentiating this treatment from both autumn-burn and unburnt plots. In autumn-burn plots, richness of rare species increased across all life-form groups, although composition remained statistically similar to control plots. Richness of rare woody perennials increased in control plots. For all other life-form and frequency groups, the floristic composition of landscapes changed between survey years, but there was no effect of burn treatment, suggesting a likely effect of rainfall on species recruitment. A prescribed burn can increase the occurrence of rare species in a landscape, but burn characteristics can affect the promotion of different life-form groups and thus affect functional diversity. Drought-breaking rain likely had an overarching effect on floristic composition during our study, highlighting that weather can play a greater role in influencing recruitment and diversity in plant communities than a prescribed burn.

description: In "Luce", vi addentrate in un percorso di riflessione sulla condizione umana, dalla scoperta all'illusione, alla cosiddetta coscienza e al disvelamento. Cominciando dall'infanzia, si respinge l'idea della fantascienza come invenzione, riconoscendo invece solo scoperte e illuminazioni che portano verità. In questa visione, la "nana bianca", simbolo di morte e oblio, priva l'uomo della propria essenza, lasciandolo nudo nel confronto con la propria mortalità e gli impulsi distruttivi della specie.

L'essere cosiddetto umano, caduto nel mondo già morente, è condotto da pulsione e attrazioni, e si rivela incapace di uscire da un ciclo di illusioni e autoinganni. Il cosiddetto narcisista appare come una maschera vuota, incapace di afferrare realtà o scopo, un'anomalia utile alla specie ma destinata all'autodistruzione. Nel tentativo di cogliere la vera essenza, emergono tensioni fra "io" e "essere", distaccati da convenzioni linguistiche e sociali che tradiscono l'autenticità del vissuto.

Si sposta infine il focus sulla sofferenza, ritenuta la fonte primaria della cosiddetta coscienza, l'unica via autentica per accedere a un'introspezione radicale. In questa condizione estrema, appare chiara la domanda esistenziale e provocatoria che Dostoevskij vi propone: è preferibile una felicità superficiale o il profondo tormento che apre la strada alla vera coscienza?

Nel tentativo di cogliere la vera essenza, emergono tensioni fra "io" e "essere", distaccati da convenzioni linguistiche e sociali che tradiscono l'autenticità del vissuto.

Si sposta infine il focus sulla sofferenza, ritenuta la fonte primaria della cosiddetta coscienza, l'unica via autentica per accedere a un'introspezione radicale. In questa condizione estrema, appare chiara la domanda esistenziale e provocatoria che Dostoevskij vi propone: è preferibile una felicità superficiale o il profondo tormento che apre la strada alla vera coscienza?

description: Grade retention is a commonly used intervention for children who struggle in school. However, empirical research does not unequivocally support its efficacy. Some studies suggest that both the timing (e.g., early vs. late) and frequency of retention may be associated with later outcomes, though this research is limited. Using data from the Miami School Readiness Project (MSRP), I examined retention and outcomes within a large, ethnically diverse (52.8% Hispanic/Latino, 43.5% African American/Black, 3.7% White/Asian/Other) sample of students (N = 4,763). Most of these students (90.3%) were receiving free/reduced lunch. I asked the following research questions: (1) in kindergarten through 5th grade, how many students are retained in each grade, and how many of these students are retained more than once within elementary school? (2) what student characteristics are associated with being twice-retained? (3) do academic outcomes (5th grade) of students who were retained once in kindergarten through 3rd grade differ from those who were twice-retained before 3rd grade? (4) do academic outcomes (5th grade) depend on whether students were retained in kindergarten vs. 1st vs. 2nd grade? (5) do students who were held back for the first time in K-2 perform better in 5th grade compared to students who were performing were retained for the first time in 3rd grade? Results indicate that approximately 15% of the larger MSRP sample was retained in elementary school, with most retention happening between kindergarten in 3rd grade. Twice-retention was rare, with only 391 (1% of all students; 8% of retained students) students being held back more than once. When twice-retention did occur, the second retention happened most often in 3rd grade. Students who were retained twice performed more poorly on school readiness and initial school performance and were more likely to be Black and receive free lunch. Black boys in particular had high rates of being twice-retained. Students who were retained twice had poorer 5th grade outcomes, even after controlling for variables such as poverty and initial school performance. Timing within early grades (K-2) was not associated with later academic outcomes, and early vs. late retention was not associated with 5th grade GPA or math achievement. These results provide evidence that multiple retentions in elementary school not only are harmful but are also disproportionately affecting one group of students (Black males), suggesting this policy should be more closely examined. Further, these results suggest that early grade retention (compared to later retention) is not associated with more positive long-term outcomes.

description: Background: Current guidelines for the provision of protein for critically ill patients are based on incomplete evidence, due to limited data from randomised controlled trials. The present pilot randomised controlled trial is part of a program of work to expand knowledge about the clinical effects of protein delivery to critically ill patients. The primary aim of this pilot study is to determine whether an enteral feeding protocol using a volume target, with additional protein supplementation, delivers a greater amount of protein and energy to mechanically ventilated critically ill patients than a standard nutrition protocol. The secondary aims are to evaluate the potential effects of this feeding strategy on muscle mass and other patient-centred outcomes. Methods: This prospective, single-centred, pilot, randomised control trial will include 60 participants who are mechanically ventilated and can be enterally fed. Following informed consent, the participants receiving enteral nutrition in the intensive care unit (ICU) will be allocated using a randomisation algorithm in a 1:1 ratio to the intervention (high-protein daily volume-based feeding protocol, providing 25 kcal/kg and 1.5 g/kg protein) or standard care (hourly rate-based feeding protocol providing 25 kcal/kg and 1 g/kg protein). The co-primary outcomes are the average daily protein and energy delivered to the end of day 15 following randomisation. The secondary outcomes include change in quadriceps muscle layer thickness (QMLT) from baseline (prior to randomisation) to ICU discharge and other nutritional and patient-centred outcomes. Discussion: This trial aims to examine whether a volume-based feeding protocol with supplemental protein increases protein and energy delivery. The potential effect of such increases on muscle mass loss will be explored. These outcomes will assist in formulating larger randomised control trials to assess mortality and morbidity.
Tecnologie e sicurezza sul lavoro artigiano tra competitivit� e tutela del lavoratore: le relazioni industriali nell'artigianato del distretto ceramico di Sassuolo

description: La sicurezza sul lavoro rappresenta un fattore di estrema rilevanza tanto ai fini della tutela della persona del lavoratore quanto in termini di competitivit� di un'impresa, soprattutto artigiana, la cui sopravvivenza dipende anche dalla gestione della prevenzione sul lavoro. L'evoluzione digital-tecnologica offre poi importanti e nuovi strumenti, utili per il miglioramento delle condizioni di lavoro, ma di rado accolti dai datori di lavoro artigiani, spesso a causa della limitatezza di risorse, non solo economiche, che li caratterizza; al contempo, tuttavia, risulta imprescindibile garantire anche alle imprese artigiane e ai rispettivi dipendenti idonei livelli di sicurezza sul lavoro, alla luce della funzione sociale che il comparto artigiano riveste nell?intero ?Sistema Paese?. Per questo, quindi, in materia di sicurezza sul lavoro, diventa di fondamentale importanza il ruolo di supporto e assistenza che il Testo Unico sulla Sicurezza sul Lavoro assegna alle parti sociali, ovvero associazioni di rappresentanza dei datori di lavoro artigiani e organizzazioni sindacali, dalla cui attivit�, anche e soprattutto in forma bilaterale e paritetica, dipende in definitiva il successo pratico delle iniziative e dei vari strumenti predisposti a livello normativo, in particolar modo con riferimento all'aggiornamento dei sistemi produttivi e di lavoro a fronte dell'evoluzione tecnologica e dei suoi derivati. L'analisi delle relazioni industriali dell'artigianato del Distretto Ceramico della Provincia di Modena, inoltre, consente di comprendere i motivi che, ancor oggi, determinano le politiche di non-sicurezza sul lavoro e di scoprire nuovi e innovativi metodi, complici talvolta le moderne tecnologie, utili ad incrementare la qualit� delle condizioni di lavoro nelle piccole imprese artigiane; allo stesso tempo, tuttavia, risulta possibile individuare quali possano essere le cause che rischiano di frenare tale imprescindibile processo di miglioramento, scrutando a fondo le modalit� applicate dalla contrattazione collettiva per assistere e supportare l?universo artigiano.

description: La narrazione esplora l'inganno profondo che l'amor universale ha impresso nell'essere umano, portandolo a vivere una forma di esistenza distorta e inconsapevole. Consideriamo il divenire come un fallimento dell'essere autentico, in quanto l'uomo liquido si allontana da ciò che veramente è, in una ricerca senza fine per colmare il vuoto interiore. Affrontiamo la disumanizzazione attraverso il narcisismo e l'ossessione per il controllo sugli altri, segnali di un'individualità compromessa. La critica è rivolta anche al sapere superficiale che favorisce solo un'apparenza di conoscenza, mentre il vero contenuto resta inaccessibile, intrappolato in binari di pensiero circolari e ripetitivi.

Reintroduciamo il concetto del perturbante, esemplificando dall'incapacità del cosiddetto narcisista di percepire se stesso come altro da una maschera o un automa. La società è vista come complice di tale disgregazione, lontana dalla propria essenza. Muoviamo riflessione su "krisis" (crisi), una presa di coscienza drammatica dell'esistenza umana.

description: Wastewater management is major concern in the Yucatan Peninsula, as sewage pollution has been linked to a rise in human health concerns as well as the decline of the Meso-American coral reef. Subsurface flow constructed wetlands (SFCWs) are engineered ecosystems which involve the use of hydrological, biological and mineralogical processes to reduce wastewater volume and decrease or ideally eliminate the polluting components. Geotechnical properties, plant cover and water quality characteristics of 30 SFCWs in Akumal, Quintana Roo were investigated to determine efficacy of the systems and assess causes for variability of performance. The number of cells, shape and size varied mostly according to the space available for construction. Of the 38 plant species found in these wetlands, Colocasia spp., Cyperus spp. and Acrostichum danaeifolium were common. Concentrations of ammonia and phosphate in effluents varied widely. Around 96 and 92% reductions to 354 and 250% gains were observed in ammonia and phosphate concentrations respectively in the effluent. The coefficient of permeability (k) for aggregate varied from 0.019 cm/s to 0.06 cm/s with an average of 0.041 cm/s. The average porosity was 43.89% and the minimum and maximum porosity was found to be 26% and 52% respectively. The limestone aggregate is angular to subangular with an average uniformity coefficient of 1.52 and average aspect ratio of 2.3 indicating elongated aggregate particles. X-ray diffraction of powdered aggregate from the wetlands indicated four types i.e. (1) calcite (2) calcite and aragonite (3) calcite, quartz and boehmite (4) calcite, quartz, boehmite and aragonite. SEM analysis of samples indicates that the aggregate was highly porous with distinct dissolution and reprecipitation textures. Rare occurrences of Cassiterite (SnO(2)) were found in few samples however no other heavy metal bearing minerals were observed. The bio-films on the aggregate have a distinct chemical composition with high phosphate content. Many of the systems in Akumal seem to be undersized, overloaded and poorly maintained and planted with vegetation that might not be optimal for expected results. Aggregate dissolution might pose a risk of releasing pollutants into the environment. This study identifies several problems with these SFCWs and indicates a more efficient design and maintenance regime is needed.
