Study on characterization of flame propagation of spontaneous ignition caused by high-pressure hydrogen leakage

As an ideal energy source, hydrogen is highly susceptible to spontaneous ignition once leaked, which is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed. Based on the shock tube model, this paper investigates flame propagation under various pressures, tube lengths, and diameters by employing the LES approach and a detailed hydrogen/air combustion mechanism. The results indicate that within the tube, the ignition kernels gradually evolve into tulip flames when specific conditions are satisfied. As pressure and tube length increase, the likelihood of forming a complete flame rises significantly; with the increase of tube diameter, the flame front is flatter and the flame intensity is more uniformly distributed. Furthermore, this paper develops a model to predict the formation of a complete flame: Pb/Pa=570.64(L/D)−0.6. Outside the tube, once the intact flame passes out of the tube and evolves into a jet flame, structures such as flame envelopes and jet vortices will appear. Higher release pressures make it more difficult for the flame to propagate steadily, whereas increasing tube length and diameter promotes combustion and sustains the flame outside the tube.

Effects of fish meal replacement with composite proteins source on growth performance, antioxidant capacity and swim bladder quality of chu’s croaker (Nibea coibor)

Collagen, as a commercial functional protein, is widely applied in food, cosmetics, biomedicine and other industries, and swim bladder is regarded as an ideal source of raw materials due to its rich collagen content. Chu’s croaker (Nibea coibor), as an economical fish that can produce high-grade swim bladder, is popularly farmed, however, its high fishmeal demand limits the development of the feed industry. Therefore, it is worth thinking about how to reduce the use of fish meal without affecting the swim bladder quality. Given that, an 8-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of fish meal partially replaced (0.0%, 5.0%, 10.0%, 15.0%, 20.0%) with composite proteins (CPs, consisted of corn protein meal and hydrolyzed feather meal) on growth, antioxidant capacity and swim bladder quality (texture and collagen deposition) of chu’s croaker. Results showed that although growth performance decrease with the increase of CPs’ replacement level, it did not compromise the swim bladder quality. Specifically, 5% - 10% CPs did not affect the growth significantly, but can improve antioxidant capacity, protein content, collagen synthesis and texture quality of swim bladder. The enhancement of swim bladder texture, including hardness, chewiness, springiness, and adhesiveness may be caused by changes in the expression of related genes, such as colga1t1, col12a1, cyp27a1, etc. These results indicated that appropriate fish meal replaced by CPs could be applied during aquaculture practice after comprehensive consideration of feed cost, growth rate and quality of swim bladder. This study provides support for the development of cost-effective feed formulations that improve the sustainability and economic viability of chu’s croaker culture.

Light-emitting diode-based absorbance detectors for flow-through analysis in analytical chemistry: A tutorial

The development of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has played a significant role supporting many recent advances made in chemical analysis. Their small size, low power consumption, and semi-monochromaticity make them ideal light sources for portable photometric devices used in field and on-site analysis, environmental monitoring, and industrial applications, such as process analytical technology (PAT) and continuous real-time analysis. This tutorial provides an overview and critical comparison of the key components in LED-based absorbance detectors, including light sources, optical fibres, flow cells, and photodetectors. Fundamental aspects of LEDs relating to their use in such simple detectors are discussed in detail, along with the development of multi-wavelength detectors that incorporate multiple LEDs. The tutorial also details the different methodologies for assessing and characterising the LED-based absorbance detectors. Finally, this tutorial presents some selected applications of LED based photometric detectors in gas sensing, flow injection analysis (FIA), and coupled with separation techniques such as ion chromatography, liquid chromatography, and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE).

Influence of GUP corrected Casimir energy on zero tidal force wormholes in modified teleparallel gravity with matter coupling

In recent times, the study of the Casimir effect in quantum field theory has garnered increasing attention because of its potential to be an ideal source of exotic matter needed for stabilizing traversable wormholes. It has been confirmed through experimental evidence that this phenomenon involves fluctuations in the vacuum field, leading to a negative energy density. Motivated by the above, we have investigated Casimir wormholes with corrections from the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) within the framework of matter-coupled teleparallel gravity. Our analysis includes three well-known GUP models: the Kempf, Mangano, and Mann (KMM) model, the Detournay, Gabriel, and Spindel (DGS) model, and a third model called Model II. For a broader analysis, we have considered two well-known model functions for the teleparallel theory: a linear f(T,T)=αT+βT\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$f(T,\\mathcal {T})=\\alpha T+\\beta \\mathcal {T}$$\\end{document} and a quadratic model f(T,T)=ηT2+χT\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$f(T,\\mathcal {T})=\\eta T^2+\\chi \\mathcal {T}$$\\end{document}. The shape function solutions corresponding to both models are examined in the absence of tidal forces in spacetime. We also demonstrate the crucial role played by the parameters of the f(T,T)\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$f(T,\\mathcal {T})$$\\end{document} models in the violation of the energy conditions. With the increasing interest in detecting gravitational waves from astrophysical objects, we have thoroughly discussed the perturbation of the wormhole solutions in the scalar, electromagnetic, axial gravitational, and Dirac field backgrounds. We employ the 3rd order WKB expansion to find the complex frequencies associated with the quasinormal modes of energy dissipation. Additionally, we also calculate the active mass and total gravitational energy for the wormhole geometry. The amount of exotic matter involved in sustaining these wormholes is also found in this paper. Furthermore, the physical stability of such Casimir wormholes is examined using the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff equation.

1,3-Difunctionalization of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes Enabled by Copper Nitrate: A Direct Approach to γ-Halonitrates.

1,3-Difunctionalization of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes with copper nitrate and N-halosuccinimide was developed to efficiently afford γ-halonitrates. The pivotal factor of this protocol lies in the dual role of copper nitrate as a Lewis acid and an ideal nitrooxy source. The given approach features easy handling, good functional group compatibility, and wide substrate scope. Furthermore, various transformations of the obtained γ-chloronitrates underscore the remarkable synthetic potential inherent in this method.

“I’m Not Gonna Let My Daughter Be Ashamed of Who Her Father Is”: Assessing the Complex Relationship Between Fatherhood, Recovery, and Desistance

A growing body of literature assesses the relationship between fatherhood and criminal justice outcomes, including recidivism. Minimal research views this relationship within the context of substance use disorders (SUDs), a common and critical complication to desistance pathways. Using a longitudinal sample, we assess the relationship between fatherhood and desistance both quantitatively ( n = 177) and qualitatively ( n = 60). Finding null results in survival analyses, our analysis focuses primarily on our in-depth interviews, which shed light on the complicated juxtaposition between positive fatherhood identities and barriers to child reunification. We find that fatherhood provides a motivating source of positive identity, but fractured relationships with children and co-parents impact the actualization of parenting goals.

Microbial Pigment Isolation, Culturing, and Extraction to Use as Textile Dyes

The textile industry is one of the largest worldwide polluters of clean water due to the heavy use of synthetic dyes. These chemicals negatively affect the environment, especially aquatic life due to their toxic and mutagenic properties. Synthetic dyes cause harm to human health such as skin allergies and respiratory sensitization. Several advantages such as ease of extraction, availability, high yields and no seasonal variation make microbial pigments the most ideal source of natural pigments. This study was done to isolate colour pigment producing bacteria and fungi from soil collected from organic farms from various locations in Sri Lanka. Out of 7 soil samples, 3 yielded pigment producing bacteria and fungi. In total, 9 pigment producing bacteria and 3 pigment producing fungi were isolated. Gause’s synthetic agar yielded the most pigmented isolates. Isolates were inoculated in broths and pigment production was observed. Extracellular pigments produced by 5 of the bacterial isolates were extracted by a water-based method. The antibacterial activity of the pigments in their crude and concentrated forms was tested using the well diffusion method against Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538P. Inhibition zone against S. aureus was observed for both crude (12.33±0.58mm) and concentrated pigments (9.67±0.58mm) extracted from purple pigment producing bacterial isolate (BPU). This pigment has the potential to be used in antibacterial textile preparation. Extracted pigments were used to dye scoured cotton fabric with the use of 3% alum as mordant. Pigment from BPU isolate resulted in better coloured fabric.

Taming CO2•- via Synergistic Triple Catalysis in Anti-Markovnikov Hydrocarboxylation of Alkenes.

The direct utilization of carbon dioxide as an ideal one-carbon source in value-added chemical synthesis has garnered significant attention from the standpoint of global sustainability. In this regard, the photo/electrochemical reduction of CO2 into useful fuels and chemical feedstocks could offer a great promise for the transition to a carbon-neutral economy. However, challenges in product selectivity continue to limit the practical application of these systems. A robust and general method for the conversion of CO2 to the polarity-reversed carbon dioxide radical anion, a C1 synthon, is critical for the successful valorization of CO2 to selective carboxylation reactions. We demonstrate herein a hydride and hydrogen atom transfer synergy driven general catalytic platform involving CO2•- for highly selective anti-Markovnikov hydrocarboxylation of alkenes via triple photoredox, hydride, and hydrogen atom transfer catalysis. Mechanistic studies suggest that the synergistic operation of the triple catalytic cycle ensures a low-steady-state concentration of CO2•- in the reaction medium. This method using a renewable light energy source is mild, robust, selective, and capable of accommodating a wide range of activated and unactivated alkenes. The highly selective nature of the transformation has been revealed through the synthesis of hydrocarboxylic acids from the substrates bearing a hydrogen atom available for intramolecular 1,n-HAT process as well as diastereoselective synthesis. This technology represents a general strategy for the merger of in situ formate generation with a synergistic photoredox and HAA catalytic cycle to provide CO2•- for selective chemical transformations.

Identification of umami peptides and mechanism of the interaction with umami receptors T1R1/T1R3 in pigeon meat.

Pigeon meat offer an ideal source for extracting fresh flavor peptides. These peptides not only enhance the taste of food but also have potential health benefits, including providing low-sugar, low-sodium, and low-calorie options for individuals with conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Therefore, further research into the pigeon industry holds promise for addressing both economic and nutritional needs. To explore umami peptides and their molecular binding mechanisms with umami receptor type 1 member 1 in pigeon meat, an enzymatic hydrolysate product is isolated, analyzed, and subjected to sensory evaluation. Fifteen peptides with high freshness characteristics are separated and identified by ultrafiltration, gel separation, reverse performance liquid chromatography, and nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nano-LC-MS/MS). The molecular docking results show that the amino acid residue Glu128 is a common ligand binding site for all of the fresh-flavored peptides to taste T1R1/T1R3 receptors and it exerts freshness-presenting effects with 15 fresh-flavored peptides through hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, salt bridges, and hydrophobic interactions. This study provides a theoretical basis and technical support for the subsequent development of flavor peptide products in pigeon meat.

Tri-objective and multi-parameter geometric optimization of two-stage radioisotope thermoelectric generator based on NSGA-II

Radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) is one of ideal power sources for deep space exploration due to the long service life and high stability. To further extend service life and improve electrical output, this study is first to simultaneously optimize electrical output and mechanical stability induced by thermal stress of the two-stage RTG using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II. Skutterudite and bismuth telluride are used as the thermoelectric materials in hot-stage and cold-stage thermoelectric generators, respectively. The maximum von Mises stress of the skutterudite-stage (VonSKD) and bismuth telluride-stage (VonBT) thermoelectric generator and the conversion efficiency of the two-stage RTG (ηtwo) are set to the three objectives, and twelve geometrical parameters of two-stage RTG are used as variables. Electrical output and mechanical stability are simulated with COMSOL 6.0 Multiphysics software based on the finite element method. Results show that the ranges of ηtwo, VonSKD, and VonBT in the Pareto front are 4.81–7.57 %, 112.2–228.46 and 19.24–87.33 MPa, respectively, when the temperature difference is 300 K. TOPSIS decision-making method is used to select the specific optimal solution on the Pareto front according to the weight of the different objectives. Comparisons between tri- and bi-objective as well as single-stage optimization are also carried. Results show that there are strong influences among these three objectives. The performance of one objective would improve at the expense of the performance of the remaining objectives decrease if a larger weight was given. The VonSKD has the greatest importance among the three objectives, followed by ηtwo, and the smallest is VonBT. Skutterudite-stage thermoelectric generator should be particularly considered in the design of two-stage RTGs. The two-stage RTGs with different weight factors exhibit different electrical performances due to different geometrical parameters. This research can provide references for two-stage thermoelectric generators in more scenarios to improve electrical performances and extend service life.

Formate Salts: The Rediscovery of Their Radical Reaction under Light Irradiation Opens New Avenues in Organic Synthesis

AbstractFormates are abundantly available and inexpensive commodity chemical, widely used in laboratory and industrial organic synthesis. Formates are promising hydrogen carrier and green C1 source, and have also been a subject of research as SET reductants in recent years. Compared to the toxic and flammable gas carbon monoxide, which also serves as a C1 source, formates are easier to handle, store, and transport, and are more environmentally friendly. Therefore, in recent studies of radical reactions, formate is not only as an ideal source of green carbonyl, which is of great significance to synthesize carboxyl compounds with various structures, but also as a SET reductant for editing organic molecules either in scientific research or industrial production. The activation and conversion of formate, as a source of C1 or a SET reductant, is a very challenging and hot research field in organic synthesis.

Kindheit in den Volkserzählungen der Zipser aus der Maramuresch und der Südbukowina: Erinnerungen einer vom Schicksal geprägten Generation

Abstract Childhood as a theme has often been addressed in various works, but in this case, it is outlined through the stories handed down from generation to generation by the Zipser Saxons from Maramuresh and Southbukovina, who have had a similar path and development over the years. Folk tales are a source of cultural identity and collective memory, especially for ethnic minorities such as the Zipser Saxons, often offering deep insights into the history, traditions and values of their community. This raises the question of how the childhood memories of a generation shaped by destiny are conveyed through the stories.

Key Issues and Application Prospects in High-Temperature Plasma Physics

High-temperature plasma physics is the core area of research into nuclear fusion energy, and it also has broad application potential in industry and astrophysics. The paper systematically reviews the fundamental definition, the formation mechanism, and research history of high-temperature plasma; analyzes focal problems including energy confinement, plasma instability, radiation cooling, material tolerance, turbulent dynamics; and discusses the technical progress and challenges of magnetic confinement and inertial confinement experimental devices. The comparison of tokamak against laser inertial confinement gives further illustration of the pros and disadvantages of the two fusion routes. Nuclear fusion energy, from an application viewpoint, represents a very ideal energy source for future sustainable development, and high-temperature plasma technology is also very promising in industrial processing, astrophysical experiments, and other fields. In conjunction with relevant recent research, suggestions are also given in this paper regarding high-temperature plasma in the future development direction. All this is done as an effort to offer reference and guidance for future developments in that field.

Achieving Ideal Magnetic Light Emission with Electric-Type Emitters.

Optical magnetic dipole (MD) emission predominantly relies on emitters with significant MD transitions, which, however, rarely exist in nature. Here, we propose a strategy to transform electric dipole (ED) emission to a magnetic one by elegantly coupling an ED emitter to a silicon nanoparticle exhibiting a strong MD resonance. This emission mode transformation enables an artificially ideal magnetic dipole source with an MD purity factor of up to 99%. The far-field emission patterns of such artificial MD sources were experimentally measured, which unambiguously resolved their magnetic-type emission origin. This study opens the path to achieving ideal magnetic dipole emission with nonmagnetic emitters, largely extending the availability of magnetic light emitters conventionally limited by nature. Beyond the fundamental significance in science, we anticipate that this study will also facilitate the development of magnetic optical nanosource and enable potential photonic applications relying on magnetic light emission.

Computational Models of Dynamic Load Sources for Modeling of Construction Structures Operation Used in Monitoring of Technical Condition of Buildings and Structures

This research aims to develop principles for assessing the impact of mega-cyclic vibrodynamic loads on the reliability of construction structures. The relevance of the reasons for the development and improvement of algorithms for numerical modeling of multicycle dynamic loads on building structures is due to the steadily increasing intensity of such loads on buildings and structures in megacities, as well as the acute practical problem of significant differences in the dynamic characteristics of buildings and structures obtained as a result of mathematical modeling and determined by experimental methods. The article presents research materials on computational equivalent models of dynamic load sources for numerical modeling of the behavior of construction structures under their influence, using the method of vibroacoustic analogies. The article examines models of sources of dynamic impact on construction sites. Algorithms and final formulas for computational modeling of the simplest sources of dynamic load are developed using the method of vibroacoustic analogies. The dynamic properties of the simplest dynamic load sources were analyzed. A significant difference between the computational models of real and ideal dynamic load sources. The article presents research and development results intended for calculating the distribution of dynamic loads on elements of construction structures in industrial and civil engineering projects located in areas with high levels of transport vibrodynamic impacts. An important property of the proposed computational equivalent models of sources of dynamic impact on building structures is the possibility of computational verification of critical elements, points, or nodes of load-bearing structures of buildings and structures under dynamic overloads. The position of these critical elements, points, and nodes of load-bearing structures under dynamic loads can differ significantly from their position determined using static and quasistatic computational modeling methods.

Quantum tomography with τ leptons at the FCC-ee: Entanglement, Bell inequality violation, sinθW , and anomalous couplings

The Future Circular Collider (FCC)—in its first incarnation as a lepton collider—will produce, according to the proposed design, more than 100 billion pairs of τ leptons after working for four years at the energy of the Z-boson resonance. The τ lepton is special because its relatively long lifetime makes it possible to reconstruct the momenta of neutrinos emitted in the single pion decay mode. The resulting large number of events is an ideal source for a full quantum tomography of the process that will test quantum entanglement and the violation of Bell inequality with unprecedented precision. In addition, the study of polarizations and spin correlations can provide a competitive determination of the Weinberg angle θW and constrain possible anomalous couplings in the neutral electroweak current. We utilize analytic results and Monte Carlo simulations to explore to what extent these goals might be accomplished. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Calcium nanoparticles produced by Acacia arabica leaf extract and their influence on fresh-cut fruit quality features

Calcium oxide nanoparticles have possessed unique structural and numerous applications, including the food preservative, antimicrobial, and chemotherapeutic properties. The study’s goal was to identify and create calcium oxide-derived leaf extract nanoparticles from Acacia arabica (AA) and assess their effectiveness on fresh-cut fruit quality attributes. The calcium oxide nanoparticles (AACaN) produced using AA leaf extract by the simple precipitation method and the AACaN obtained were characterised and confirmed using various analytical techniques. Freshly sliced apple fruit as well as unsliced blueberry and blackberry were immersed in AACaN (10 and 20 µg/mL) at two different concentrations for five minutes before being put in packed polypropylene plastic bags and maintained at 5 °C. According to the quality evaluations of pH, DPPH, 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hardness, total soluble solid content (TSS), and sensory analysis. AACaN at 20 µg/mL has the ability to preserve freshly cut fruits of apples as well as unsliced blueberries and blackberries, thereby effectively extending fruits 20-day shelf life in comparison to control (untreated) fruits. This study has concluded that the AA is an ideal source to synthesis calcium oxide nanoparticles, and it was proved by materially characterizing. Moreover, the AACaN at 20 µg/mL proved the apples, blueberry, and blackberry fruits shelf life, which also added a large nutritional value while maintaining a storage quality.

Experimental investigation and numerical modeling of an innovative horizontal coaxial ground heat exchanger (HCGHE) for geothermal heat pump applications

Geothermal is an ideal renewable energy source for building heating and cooling via a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system. However, the high initial cost of installing the ground heat exchanger limits its adoption, especially among owners of residential and smaller non-residential buildings. This study aims to develop a new methodology for installing an innovative horizontal coaxial ground heat exchanger (HCGHE) and to investigate its thermal performance in GSHP applications through field testing and numerical simulation. Horizontal directional drilling and a new manifold design were used to install the new HCGHE, significantly reducing costs by minimizing time, materials, labor, and landscape disruption. The transient numerical model, developed in Ansys Fluent using the finite volume method, was validated against experimental data and employed to predict temperature distributions in the supply pipe, return pipe, and surrounding soil. The study determined the heat transfer rate per unit borehole length and entire thermal resistance of the HCGHE to vary from 23.0 to 35.7 W/m and 0.28 to 0.74 K·m/W in winter, and from 24.3 to 37.4 W/m and 0.12 to 0.52 K·m/W in summer. The short-term soil temperature distributions in both the radial and longitudinal directions of the HCGHE are modeled using second-order polynomial equations, with R2 values ranging from 0.994 to near unity, while the long-term soil temperature distributions follow a power law. This research not only confirmed that the innovative HCGHE design and installation can achieve good thermal performance but also provided valuable insights into continual design improvement. The innovative HCGHE-based GSHP system provides an efficient and sustainable solution for heating and cooling buildings by harnessing the earth’s natural heat, offering the advantages of simplified installation and reduced initial investment.

Formation and development of the Acquis Communautaire in France, Germany and Switzerland: A comparative legal analysis

The article is devoted to the comparative legal analysis of the formation and development of the acquis communautaire in France, Germany and Switzerland with a view to identifying similarities and differences in the formation and development of the acquis communautaire in countries with different legal status in the European Union. The analysis was carried out using comparative legal, formal legal, dialectical, historical and legal, hermeneutical and other methods, as well as the principles of determinism, pluralism of opinions and complexity of knowledge. On the basis of and through the disclosure of the concept of “acquis communautaire”, the diversity of its understanding within different approaches and the nature of this phenomenon, as well as the study of the formation of the acquis communautaire specifics, it is established that this process took place in the course of formation of the European Communities in the 1950s with the participation of France and Germany on the basis of a combination of liberal market and general social values, and its development took place during the elaboration of the foundations of the mechanism for adoption of a common European policy. It is found that the patterns of formation and development of the acquis communautaire in France, Germany and Switzerland are overcoming contradictions and searching for compromises between France and Germany in all areas of common European policy and the need to coordinate their position with other members of the European Union. Furthermore, the similarity of these processes in France and Germany is rooted in their participation in the creation and development of the European Communities, in the formation of the acquis and its identical legal sources, and the difference lies in the motives and objectives of these States, their positions in certain areas of common European policy and procedural activities related to the implementation of the acquis into national legislation. At the same time, the article reveals that the specifics of formation and development of the European Union acquis in Switzerland are determined by its status as an associated country in the Union, which provides for the possibility of implementing the relevant acquis with certain exceptions on the basis of sectoral agreements between it and the European Union. The difference in the formation and development of the acquis between France and Germany, as well as Switzerland, is manifested in the mechanism and consequences of the implementation of the new acquis: Switzerland participates in the development process, but not in decision-making. Finally, it is noted that the common feature of the development of the EU acquis for all these countries is a combination of market-liberal and general social values and the introduction of a socially oriented market economy model.

Torture, Livelihoods and Rehabilitation.

The understanding of torture has evolved to encompass a complex interplay of factors including poverty, politics, health and psychosocial factors which increase vulnerability to torture. In response to this evolving understanding, rehabilitation efforts for torture survivors have expanded beyond medical and psychological care to encompass broader socio-economic dimensions, including live-lihoods support. Livelihoods are not only a means of making a living, but also a source of purpose and identity. This article explores the intersect between livelihoods loss and torture, exploring where livelihoods loss co-occurs with torture, is a consequence of torture, or may be an act of torture in itself. The importance of documenting livelihoods losses in torture assessment and the integration of livelihoods into rehabilitation programs is considered. Although research in this area is sparse, existing evidence suggests that combining livelihoods rehabilitation with psychological and physical interventions, alongside long-term support are important components. For livelihood restoration to be effectively integrated, it must be survivor-centred, holistic, evidence-based and focused on safety. While the field is to date underexplored, this article provides a foundational framework for torture treatment centres and stakeholders to consider the role of livelihoods in both conceptualising and treating survivors of torture.
