description: Recognizing that coal-fired power remain significant in many countries, it is crucial to enhance coal quality to mitigate the impacts of emissions. This study investigated a custom-built optimized wind sifter separator in upgrading high-ash coal. The effectiveness of this separator in upgrading high-ash coal was compared with that of sink-float analysis on the same raw coal from Witbank Coalfield. Second-stage tests were conducted to enhance the products’ quality further. The second-stage tests yielded high-quality coal, particularly when processing high-ash coal. Moreover, the separator demonstrated operational versatility, functioning with and without collecting bins. Dry beneficiation results revealed a significant reduction in ash content, with coal initially containing 37.38% ash and upgraded to as low as 16.73%. Variations in mean probable error values (Ep) ranged from 0.035 to 0.16 and correlated with changes in airstream velocity. Overall, the results demonstrate that the wind sifter separator exhibited high performance by achieving significant ash removal while maintaining high coal recovery rates, offering a water-free, cost-effective solution. These results suggest that the separator can be applicable in upgrading and pre-concentrating minerals within the mineral processing industry.

description: In this study, a high internal phase water-in-oil (HIP W/O) emulsion containing three different internal water contents was used for the decarbonization of coal gasification slag (CGS). The results showed that at an internal water content of 85% and a dosage of 20 kg·t−1, the residual carbon recovery achieved 91.23%, and the ignition loss of concentrate decreased to 15.54%, demonstrating the most effective decarbonization outcome. Laser particle size analysis and Zeta potential test showed that the average dispersed particle size of the emulsion was 0.243 μm, and Zeta potential reached −36.25 mV when the internal water content was 85%. Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to provide additional insights into the adsorption characteristics of the HIP W/O on the CGS surface. The findings indicated that decreasing the internal water content of the emulsion improved its dispersibility, facilitated the aggregation of oil on CGS particles, and significantly boosted the efficiency of decarbonization.

description: Viral proteases play critical roles in the host cell and immune remodeling that allows virus production. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) papain-like protease (PLpro) encoded in the large nonstructural protein 3 (Nsp3) also possesses isopeptidase activity with specificity for ubiquitin and ISG15 conjugates. Here, we interrogated the cellular interactome of the SARS-CoV-2 PLpro catalytic domain to gain insight into the putative substrates and cellular functions affected by the viral deubiquitinase. PLpro was detected in protein complexes that control multiple ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like (UbL) regulated signaling and effector pathways. By restricting the analysis to cytosolic and membrane-associated ubiquitin ligases, we found that PLpro interacts with N-recognin ubiquitin ligases and preferentially rescues type I N-degron substrates from proteasomal degradation. PLpro stabilized N-degron carrying HSPA5/BiP/GRP78, which is arginylated in the cytosol upon release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) upon ER stress and enhanced the Arg-HSPA5-driven oligomerization of the N-recognin SQSTM1/p62 that serves as a platform for phagophore assembly. However, while in addition to Arg-HSPA5 and SQSTM1/p62, ATG9A, WIPI2, and BECN1/Beclin 1 were detected in PLpro immunoprecipitates, other components of the autophagosome biogenesis machinery, such as the ATG12–ATG5-ATG16L1 complex and MAP1LC3/LC3 were absent, which correlated with proteolytic inactivation of ULK1, impaired production of lipidated LC3-II, and inhibition of reticulophagy. The findings highlight a novel mechanism by which, through the reprogramming of autophagy, the PLpro deubiquitinase may contribute to the remodeling of intracellular membranes in coronavirus-infected cells.

description: Despite advancements in medical care, acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a major contributor to adverse patient outcomes and presents a significant challenge due to its associated morbidity, mortality, and financial cost. Machine learning (ML) is increasingly being recognized for its potential to transform AKI care by enabling early prediction, detection, and facilitating an individualized approach to patient management. This scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of externally validated ML models for the prediction, detection, and management of AKI. We systematically searched for relevant literature from inception to 15 February 2024, using four databases—MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus. We focused solely on models that had undergone external validation, employed Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definitions for AKI, and utilized ML models (excluding logistic regression models). A total of 44 studies encompassing 161 ML models for AKI prediction, severity assessment, and outcomes in both adult and pediatric populations were included in the review. These studies encompassed 4,153,424 patient admissions, with 1,209,659 in the development and internal validation cohorts and 2,943,765 in the external validation cohorts. The ML models demonstrated significant variability in performance owing to differing clinical settings, populations, and predictors used. Most of the included models were developed in specialized patient populations, such as those in intensive care units, post-surgical settings, and specific disease states (e.g. congestive heart failure, traumatic brain injury, etc.). Moreover, only a few models incorporated dynamic predictors of AKI which are crucial for improving clinical utility in rapidly evolving clinical conditions like AKI. The variable performance of these models when applied to external validation cohorts highlights the challenges of reproducibility and generalizability in implementing ML models in AKI care. Despite acceptable performance metrics, none of the models assessed in this review underwent validation or implementation in real-world clinical workflows. These findings underscore the need for standardized performance metrics and validation protocols to enhance the generalizability and clinical applicability of these models. Future efforts should focus on enhancing model adaptability by incorporating dynamic predictors and unstructured data and by ensuring that models are developed in diverse patient populations. Moreover, collaboration between clinicians and data scientists is critical to ensure the development of models that are clinically relevant, fair, and tailored to real-world healthcare environments.

description: This study examined the corrosion inhibition mechanisms of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from Lactobacillus reuteri, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Escherichia coli on carbon steel. Using UV spectrophotometry, LC-MS, infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM), it was apparent that all three EPS effectively inhibited corrosion, with optimal concentrations of 300 mg/L for Lactobacillus reuteri and 400 mg/L for the other species, yielding inhibition efficiencies of 28.25%, 23.87%, and 21.72%, respectively. The carboxyl group content was critical, with Lactobacillus reuteri EPS having the highest proportion. Functional group analysis showed it contained 12.39% and 12.93% more carboxyl groups than those from Pseudomonas fluorescens and Escherichia coli. Iron ion adsorption was primarily physical and occurred in a monolayer, with a greater capacity for Fe³+ than Fe2+, peaking at 600 mg/L.

description: As biofilms are a crucial factor in the proliferation of Legionella pneumophila in evaporative cooling systems (ECS), the impact of biocides on L. pneumophila containing biofilms in ECS needs to be evaluated by cultivation-independent methods. Therefore, a trickling biofilm chamber that simulates the spraying of process water was developed. Through this setup, the cultivation of Legionella-containing biofilms was possible. To demonstrate a potential application of the biofilm chamber, experiments using oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides were conducted. Differences in cell survival were observed, alongside variations in the efficacy of culture and flow cytometry as analytical methodologies for assessing both intact and total cell populations. These findings also highlight the benefits of flow cytometry as a culture-independent analytical approach. This proof-of-principle study illustrates the need of the biofilm chamber for conducting experiments related to biofilm growth and biocide impact.

description: Among the opportunistic species related to Invasive Fungal Infections (IFIs), Trichosporon spp. are particularly noteworthy, being responsible for infections with high mortality rates in patients with hematological cancers. Trichosporon spp. are intrinsically resistant to echinocandins and their biofilms are tolerant to polyenes and triazoles. This study investigated the effect of calcineurin inhibition on the development and antifungal tolerance of Trichosporon biofilms. Mature biofilms of T. inkin and T. asahii were treated with Ciclosporin A (CsA) and analyzed for biomass reduction and viability, ultrastructure, and tolerance tolerance to antifungals. Molecular docking studies were performed to understand the attachment of CsA to the calcineurin of T. asahii. CsA was able to significantly reduce both the biomass and metabolic activity of biofilms. Mature biofilms formed in the presence of CsA showed greater susceptibility to antifungals, compared to biofilm growth control. CsA caused structural changes in biofilms. Molecular modeling suggested that CsA can block the active site of the calcineurin A subunit of T. asahii. Calcineurin inhibition seems to be a promising strategy for controlling antifungal-resistant fungal biofilms.

description: The aim of this study was to analyse how the properties of reference-resistant bacterial strains and textiles affect the transmission of bacteria, the antibacterial potential of detergents and disinfectants and how this can be implemented in low-temperature washing. Bacterial cells were characterised by a hydrophobicity test, and textiles were characterised by roughness and surface energy. Transmission and suspension tests were then carried out, followed by an evaluation of the wash. The results show that cotton has the highest roughness, polyester is the most hydrophobic and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is the most hydrophobic bacterium. It was observed that resistant bacteria can be transmitted to a considerable extent via household textiles. The suspension test showed that the 0.5% European Colourfastness Establishment (ECE) reference detergent did not achieve a sufficient reduction (>5 log colony forming units – CFU) for any of the strains tested, whereas the addition of 3% hydrogen peroxide or 4% quaternary ammonium silicone compound did so for all of them. Washing at 60 °C reduced the textile contamination sufficiently (>4 log CFU) for all strains tested, while the criteria for cross-contamination and wash water were not met (<1.1 CFU/mL). However, the addition of disinfectants to the detergent at 30 °C met all hygiene requirements with the complete elimination of all tested bacteria on all textiles. Washing home textiles contaminated with resistant bacteria at low temperatures was only possible if a disinfectant was added. Otherwise, textiles can be an important vehicle for the transmission of resistant bacteria in domestic facilities.

description: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is especially prevalent among intrauterine device (IUD) and intravaginal ring (IVR) users. Candida albicans is the leading causative agent of VVC followed by Candida glabrata. Ascribed to the increased drug resistance by Candida spp. to the currently available drugs, this study has focused on the novel quinazoline-derived copper(I) complexes as anti-candida agents. As a novel approach, a vaginal ring was coated with the best quinazoline-derived copper(I) complex, and biofilm disruption ability was evaluated. The coated vaginal ring eradicated 70% of preformed biofilms and also inhibited the hyphal transition of Candida albicans in a simulated vaginal fluid (SVF). The overall study validates the anti-biofilm and anti-virulent properties of the metal complex-coated vaginal ring using various microscopic studies.

[In natali sanctorum martyrum Scillitanorum

'On the birthday of the Scillitan martyrs']

1. Martyres sancti, testes Dei, ne uiuendo morerentur, moriendo uiuere maluerunt; ne timendo mortem negarent uitam, amando uitam contempserunt uitam. Ut negaretur Christus, uitam promittebat inimicus, sed non qualem Christus. Credentes ergo quod a Saluatore promittebatur, riserunt quod persecutor comminabatur. Fratres, quando sollemnia martyrum celebramus, exempla nobis proposita nouerimus, quae imitando assequamur.

'1. The holy martyrs, witnesses of God, preferred to live by dying, in order not to die by living; in order not to deny life by fearing death, they despised life by loving life. To get them to deny Christ, the enemy was promising them life, but not the kind Christ was. So as they believed the promises of the Saviour, they laughed at the threats of the persecutor. Brothers, when we celebrate the festivals of the martyrs, we should know that examples are being set before us, which we should try to match by imitating them.'

In what follows Augustine refers to a dialogue between the judge and the martyrs, which does not seem to be related with any specific text that we know.

description: Rural Americans are facing news deserts and limited broadband, healthcare, and education access, making it imperative to study their media use habits and feelings about elites. To address these issues, we examined whether rural resentment is associated with the use of network, liberal, and conservative media using secondary data from the American National Election Studies (ANES). Our results suggested that there is a positive relationship between rural resentment and the use of conservative media. Additionally, we examined the potentially mediating role of anti-elitist attitudes in this relationship. These results revealed that higher levels of rural resentment were associated with negative views of elites, and more negative views of elites were associated with consuming conservative media. Finally, we examined whether the indirect relationships of rural resentment through anti-elite views on media use varied by party identification. Limitations and areas for future research are discussed.

description: The respiratory bronchioles function as the transition zone between the conducting and gas exchange regions in lung airways, with sparse coverage of alveoli. The structure model is vital for the numerical studies on respiratory biomechanics. We propose a polyhedron-based modeling of acinar structure, allowing for parametric control of alveolar locations. The fundamental model features an optimized airway structure that maximizes the number of alveoli and minimizes mean path length, thereby improving gas exchange efficiency. A logistic function is applied to weight each alveolus based on the path length from the acinar entrance. This function is crucial in altering the airway structure by reducing alveoli connected to airways near the entrance and lengthening those airways while maintaining the total number of alveoli in the acinus. The parameters of the logistic function significantly influence the airway structure, with the midpoint parameter playing a particularly crucial role in representing respiratory bronchioles. Upon application to the rat acinus, the model accurately reproduces the number of alveoli, the path length distribution, and the tortuosity. The inclusion of respiratory bronchioles can be determined based on the parameters of the logistic function. Our proposed model has the potential to represent the human acinus structure in the polyhedron-based approach, considering polyhedrons as alveolar ducts or sac regions. It replicates the number of alveolar sacs and airway distributions and includes respiratory bronchioles. These acinus structure models, including respiratory bronchioles, offer a fresh and intriguing perspective for respiratory research with potential applications in respiratory physiology, biomechanics, and comparative anatomy.

Das hängt zum einen mit der wachsenden Zahl von auf Pflege angewiesenen Menschen zusammen, zum anderen mit Konstruktionsfehlern der Pflegeversicherung und ihrer Verortung zwischen Sozial- und Gesundheitswesen. Auch veränderte Vorstellungen von guter Pflege in fachlicher Hinsicht, aber auch in familiären Kontexten verlangen nach Weiterentwicklung in der sozialen Pflegesicherung sowohl in finanzieller als auch in konzeptioneller Hinsicht. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen für die Langzeitpflege in ihrer Geschichte, in der aktuellen Situation und für die Zukunft beleuchtet.

Abstract
Despite the almost 20 years the German long-term care insurance has been in existence, it is still in need of improvement, a fact, which constantly calls for further steps to reform the care insurance system. This, on the one hand, is due to the increasing number of people in need of care, and on the other, to a number of defects in the design of the care insurance and its ill-defined place between social and health services. In addition, changing concepts of good care not only in professional contexts, but also within families demand a further development of the care insurance both with regard to financial and conceptual aspects. Against this backdrop, this paper will examine the legal framework of long-term care in its historical, present and future development.

description: Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag setzt sich aus sozialethischer Perspektive mit dem Problem der Arbeitsverhältnisse mittel- und osteuropäischer Live-Ins in der Pflege auseinander und entwickelt ausgehend von einer Beschreibung der gegenwärtigen Lage und deren sozialethischer Problematisierung politische Reformperspektiven. Seit gut zwanzig Jahren werden in Deutschland immer mehr Hausangestellte aus Mittel- und Osteuropa beschäftigt, die Pflegebedürftige in ihren Wohnungen pflegen, versorgen und mit ihnen zusammen leben („Live-In-Pflegekräfte“). Neben den rechtlichen Problemen der Schwarzarbeit und der Scheinselbständigkeit ist aus sozialethischer Perspektive v. a. das Phänomen der 24-Stunden-Pflege zu kritisieren. Hierfür werden die Kriterien der Menschenwürde und der Gerechtigkeit herangezogen. Aus dieser sozialethischen Analyse wird eine politische Strategie der Regulierung, Förderung und Kontrolle formuliert, um die Lebens- und Arbeitsverhältnisse der Live-Ins zu verbessern.

Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of working conditions in geriatric nursing care of Central and Eastern European live-ins. It describes the current situation and analyses it from a social ethical perspective. Subsequently, it develops political perspectives for a reform of care policy. For roughly 20 years, many care workers from Central and Eastern Europe have been coming to Germany to nurse care-dependent individuals in their homes and live with them (live-in care workers). Besides the legal issues of illegal work and ostensible self-employment, the practice of 24-hour-care needs to be criticised from a social ethical perspective, in particular with regard to human dignity and justice. This analysis serves as a starting point for the framing of a political strategy of regulation, support and control to improve the living and working conditions of the live-ins.

Befähigungssemantiken in der theologischen Ethik. Kritische Analyse der Rezeption des Capabilities Approach in der deutschsprachigen christlichen Sozialethik

description: Zusammenfassung
„Befähigung“ ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu einem zentralen Begriff sowohl in der politischen Philosophie als auch in der Sozialpolitik geworden. Was damit gemeint ist, ist freilich umstritten. Der Aufsatz versucht, die Bedeutungsgehalte des Befähigungsbegriffs und darüber seine Leistungsfähigkeit für die sozialphilosophische und die politische Diskussion zu klären. Dabei bleibt die Autorin nicht bei der Beschäftigung mit dem Capabilities Approach nach Martha Nussbaum und Amartya Sen stehen, sondern analysiert vor allem die Rezeptionen des Befähigungsansatzes und zwar speziell im Bereich der theologischen Sozialethik. Als zentrales Problem sowohl des Capabilities Approach als auch der theologischen Ethik wird deren Liberalismusfähigkeit herausgearbeitet. Im Beitrag wird untersucht, wie und ob mit dem Befähigungskonzept sozialethisch ein „liberales Minimum“, durch das die Freiheit jedes und jeder einzelnen garantiert werden kann, gewährleistet wird.

Abstract
“Capability“ has become a central term in political philosophy and welfare policy. But it is also an ambiguous term. This paper attempts both to clear up its different meanings and to discuss the heuristic potential of the capability approach for political philosophy. For this purpose, the author analyses not only the well-known capabilities approach of Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen, but more particularly its reception in Christian social ethics. Finally it investigates the relationship of both the capability approach and Christian social ethics with the idea of liberalism and whether and how these concepts ensure a “liberal minimum” that guarantees the freedom of each individual.

description: Background: The panel infrastructure Health in Germany, which is currently being set up, is geared towards the needs of public health research in Germany. The panel will consist of extensive probability and non-probability samples. This infrastructure will be used to collect survey data, measurement data and laboratory data to describe the health situation on an ongoing basis and make them available promptly. Methods: For the initial drawing of the probability sample, the sampling frame of the residents’ registration offices (EMA) established in Germany is used. The study design follows a mixed-mode approach in which the invited persons can choose whether to participate in the survey online or in paper form. Four surveys per year are planned for the regular operation of the panel (regular annual wave). Ad-hoc studies on specific topics or acute issues are also possible. Conclusions: The panel provides a new infrastructure for continuous epidemiological studies to monitor the health of the population in Germany. This data basis strengthens the health monitoring and health reporting of the federal government, enabling a prompt and adaptable response to emerging data needs.

description: Curved structures exhibit better energy absorption properties than flat ones against high-velocity impacts. The primary objective of the study is to assess the impact of varying degrees of bi-directional curvature and thickness on the energy absorption properties of metallic targets, against normal impact by an ogive-nosed projectile. The target curvature was varied systematically from flat plate-like targets to hemispherical targets. Convexity and concavity of target structures have been considered during study. Numerical simulations were conducted utilizing the ABAQUS Explicit/Dynamics finite element package. The impact response of targets was analyzed based on fracture mechanics, energy absorption, specific energy absorption, and residual velocity. Energy absorption characteristics followed a parabolic relationship with curvature, thereby suggesting an upper limit on curvature. The change in fracture mechanics from ductile hole formation with petal formation to adiabatic shear plugging was identified as a significant factor in enhancing the energy absorption characteristics of curved targets.
