Regulatory framework for the promotion of heat pumps in the European Union

Heat pumps (HPs) are viewed by the European Union (EU) as a decisive instrument for accomplishing the goals of net zero emissions by 2050. This technology has the potential to help reach this goal by allowing greater integration of renewable energy sources and the use of waste heat. With a particular focus on industry applications, this paper reviews the evolution of the regulatory frameworks and policy efforts for the promotion of HPs at the EU level and assesses the achievement of the set goals. The imperative decarbonization of the industrial sector stands as a critical milestone in realizing the ambitious 2050 targets, constituting nearly 26 % of the EU's total final energy demand. This manuscript delineates the industrial sectors and process applications where HPs could potentially increase energy efficiency, shedding light on the primary obstacles hindering their widespread deployment. Moreover, the study delves into the landscape of ongoing research and development (R&D) projects within the EU, showcasing tangible evidence of the feasibility of HP application. Comprehensive in scope, the paper provides a thorough examination of existing policies related to HPs at both the EU and Member States levels, emphasizing a glaring absence of a robust regulatory framework necessary to propel the widespread adoption of this technology in EU industries. Furthermore, the manuscript also provides indications on possible ways of promoting HTHPs in the industrial sector, with attention not to repeating the mistakes that occurred in the past with the promotion of renewable energy. It is expected that the conclusions extracted can be of interest to developers and policymakers as well as to practitioners of other emerging technologies committed to emissions reduction in heat production.

Occupational therapy practice in psychiatric day hospitals: A scoping review

Introduction: The aim of this scoping review was to explore whether clear guidelines for the practice of occupational therapists in psychiatric day hospitals exist, both locally and globally. Methodology: Searches were conducted in January 2024; 38 articles were screened and 22 were identified for data extraction. Articles were imported onto Covidence software. Data charting was done, and data were exported into a Microsoft Excel sheet, where content analysis was performed based on the review’s objectives. Synthesis of the results was done through discussion and reported according to the PRISMA for Scoping Reviews guidelines. Results: Thirty-eight articles were included but only 22 were relevant. Group therapy, individualised therapy, vocational and community workshops were identified as common modes of intervention in psychiatric day hospitals. Occupation-based activities are integral to intervention. However, there was no explicit definition regarding the role of occupational therapy and practice guidelines for psychiatric day hospitals. Conclusion: The general scope of occupational therapy remains the same for overnight hospitals, day hospitals and community-based centres. It is mainly occupation-centred, function-orientated, and patient-centred. However, there remains ambiguity on specific practice principles and guidelines that clearly define the role of occupational therapists in day hospitals. There is a need for occupational therapy practice guidelines specific for psychiatric day hospitals. Implications for Practice The study provides valuable insights into the current knowledge and availability regarding the role and scope of practice for occupational therapy in the rapidly expanding psychiatric day hospital setting, emphasising areas for further development. Tangible evidence was identified on therapeutic principles, practice approaches, program content, and guidance for resource allocation in psychiatric day hospitals, which can be translated into practical guidelines. Ultimately, the results inform occupational therapy service delivery, solidify the profession’s role in psychiatric care, and contribute towards National Health Insurance (NHI) policy development.

Molecular transport of vitamin B6 from whey protein and agarose composite gels using diffusion blending law modelling

In this investigation, whey protein and agarose were employed as the phase-separated biopolymer system, with vitamin B6 acting as the diffusant. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy affirmed the absence of chemical interactions among all constituents within the experimental parameters. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis corroborated the uniform dissolution of vitamin B6 within the composite low-solid mixtures. Confocal scanning laser microscopy elucidated the topology of the matrix, providing tangible evidence of the phase-separated whey protein-agarose networks. Small-deformation dynamic oscillation in-shear was employed to establish a rheological blending law model, predicting the phase volume and effective concentration of the individual components (whey protein and agarose) within their respective domains. Subsequently, a diffusion study was conducted, advocating a novel blending law for molecular transport to estimate the theoretical diffusion coefficient of vitamin B6 in the composite gel by leveraging the effective concentration of each polymer within its phase. The outcomes were positively compared to the observed diffusion coefficient of the vitamin from the composite gel using UV–vis spectroscopy. These results underscore the viability of the blending-law diffusion theory in elucidating the molecular transport of hydrophilic vitamins released from aqueous biopolymer composite gels.

A Dynamic Hybrid Luminescent Display for Multilevel Anticounterfeiting

AbstractIncorporating specific motifs to provide tangible evidence of authenticity is a direct and effective measure against counterfeiting. However, achieving multi‐level anticounterfeiting through multiple motifs requires utilizing numerous stimulus sources to configure region‐specific emissions with customizable colors, which is complex, costly, and inaccessible. To address this challenge, a hybrid luminescent display is developed by integrating an internal down‐conversion layer with an organic light‐emitting diode (OLED). The internal down‐conversion layer can effectively extract the substrate and waveguide modes, resulting in a very rare outcome where the efficiency of a hybrid down‐conversion white OLED exceeds that of the pump light source. More importantly, by combining voltage‐modulated color‐tunable electroluminescence (EL) with EL‐induced down‐conversion luminescence, this unique design can precisely create dynamic and configurable multi‐color display patterns using only electrical stimulation. For anticounterfeiting purposes, the further amalgamation of the dynamic hybrid luminescent display device with the Internet of Things for digital authentication, and with fingerprint features for physical unclonable functions showcases unprecedented security. These results herald a new generation of multilevel luminescent anticounterfeiting technology.

Optimal organic fertilization enhances the phytoavailability of phosphorus in the root zone of rice

AbstractOrganic fertilization is considered an effective approach in promoting agricultural green development, dramatically affecting soil phosphorus (P) availability. Nonetheless, limited information is available on the comprehensive impact of full substitution of organic fertilizer for chemical fertilizer on P speciation, phytoavailability, and apparent balance throughout different rice‐growth stages. To address this gap, a 5‐year field experiment was conducted, implementing five organic P gradients ranging from 0 (P0), 70 (P70), 140 (P140), 210 (P210) to 280 (P280) kg P2O5 ha−1 of organic fertilizer. To assess P phytoavailability in the root zone with submillimetre spatial resolutions, this study employed techniques such as the one‐ and two‐dimensional diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) technique and the high‐resolution soil solution sampling technology (HR‐Peeper). The findings revealed that increasing P rates enhanced soil Olsen‐P and biological‐based P fractions across rice‐growth stages, primarily driven by variation in mineral‐associated P. Notably, the P140 treatment demonstrated the highest P uptake efficiency among the different rice‐growth stages, with a significant increase in soil DGT‐P, particularly in the 0–60 mm soil layer (p &lt;0.05), providing tangible evidence for enhanced P uptake. Moreover, compared with higher P treatments (P210 and P280), the P140 treatment markedly increased P use efficiency by 31.7% and 99.0%, respectively (p &lt;0.05). Further, with a high ratio of DGT‐P to Peeper‐P and a low apparent balance of P, organic fertilization at the rate of 140 kg P2O5 ha−1 effectively struck a balance between ensuring adequate P supply for yield stability and mitigating potential P loss risks. These results underscore the significance of optimal organic fertilization in enhancing agronomic benefits while reducing environmental risks. They offer valuable insights to support field P management strategies and government decision‐making processes.

Numerical investigation of knee prosthesis stresses in daily activities: Insight into knee rehabilitation and Creation of a new optimal model

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a cornerstone in addressing knee joint disorders, significantly enhancing patients' quality of life. However, despite technological advancements, a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic stresses experienced by knee prostheses during daily activities, particularly under rehabilitation interventions, remains elusive. This study aims to bridge this gap by employing numerical simulations and finite element analysis to elucidate these dynamic stresses and their interaction with rehabilitation protocols.A real-life knee replacement prosthesis model was meticulously constructed through coordinate measuring and 3D scanning, facilitating detailed finite element analysis in ANSYS Workbench version 17.1. Two distinct boundary conditions and loading scenarios were applied, with comparisons made between linear and nonlinear material assumptions. The simulation results using these different boundary condition methods revealed minimal differences. Specifically, at a knee angle of 0°, the relative stress error rate between the two boundary condition types was approximately 1 % (1.11 MPa and 1.099 MPa, respectively). At 15° and 90°, the error rates were 1.9 % and 0.56 %, respectively (10.275 MPa and 10.078 MPa at 15°; 10.275 MPa and 10.078 MPa at 90°). Given these minimal differences, the first type of boundary condition was adopted for the subsequent scenarios to enhance convergence efficiency in the analysis.Moreover, comparative analyses between linear and nonlinear material behaviors demonstrated acceptable agreement, offering insights into potential efficiency gains in simulation methodologies. Building on this foundation, an optimized tibial model was proposed, incorporating geometric alterations to the tray. Quantitative assessments revealed significant reductions, with von Mises stress decreasing by 23.35 % and equivalent strain by 17 % at a knee angle of 140°. Further evaluations at varying angles, including 60°, consistently showed positive influences on stress and strain. These quantitative findings not only contribute valuable insights into the mechanical behavior of knee prostheses but also provide tangible evidence for the efficacy of linear material behavior assumptions. The proposed optimized model exhibits promising potential for enhancing the design and performance of knee prostheses, particularly under critical loading conditions.In conclusion, these results underscore the importance of a nuanced understanding of knee prosthesis behavior during rehabilitation, offering a quantitative foundation for refining existing designs and informing the development of next-generation prostheses.

‘Shove that. There’s always hope’: young people’s lived experience of child criminal exploitation

ABSTRACT Criminally exploited young people are often found with tangible evidence of criminality, challenging traditional notions of the victim offender dichotomy. This paper presents criminally exploited young people’s narratives regarding their lived experiences in Wales. It offers a nuanced perspective of victimhood by drawing on their personal accounts of how they were offered a false sense of hope by individuals who manipulated their unmet needs and limited resources to garner their trust. Young people appeared resigned to exploitative relationships and violence because of their powerlessness and lack of opportunities but rationalised their involvement rather than acknowledging themselves as victims.

Turkish Adaptation of the Psychological Strain Scale in a Non-Clinical Sample of Emerging Adults

Suicidal behavior is a severe global health problem. For the period of emerging adulthood in particular, it represents the second-leading cause of death, followed by unintentional injuries. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop/diversify the methods and tools that can detect the factors that make individuals vulnerable to experiencing suicidal thoughts. Strain Theory of Suicide (STS), which aims to explain socio-psychological agencies preceding suicidal behavior, hypothesizes that opposing and rivaling pressures coming from four sources (i.e., value, aspiration, deprivation, and coping) lead to suicidal behavior. In light of the premises offered by the STS, the present study aimed to adapt the Psychological Strain Scale (PSS) in Turkish and test its validity and reliability in a non-clinical sample of emerging adults. Participants were emerging adults whose ages ranged between 18 and 29. Three-hundred-ninety-eight individuals (60.05% of women) filled out the survey package consisting of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, Psychological Strain Scale, Suicide Probability Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale. Construct and concurrent validity evidence was ensured by exploring the factor structure of the instrument through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and by investigating the relationship between the scores obtained from PSS and other criterion measures. Reliability evidence was ensured through the internal consistency method. Multigroup analysis indicated that the factor structure of the PSS was invariant across gender. The results of the psychometric testing offered tangible evidence for the usefulness of the PSS as a measure of vulnerability to suicidal thoughts among emerging adults.
