Exploring the Disciplinary State: The Pace and Pattern of ‘Getting Tough’ in Denmark, Germany and the United Kingdom Since 1990

Social Policy &Administration, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 369-379, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Welfare states in rich democracies have returned to a more ‘disciplinary’ agenda in recent decades. This has occurred roughly simultaneously with the so‐called ‘punitive turn’ in criminal justice. We argue that it makes sense to analyse the two movements together, as manifestations of the novel concept of the ‘disciplinary state’. Empirically,

Membrane Vesicles from Lacticaseibacillus Casei BL23 Exhibit Antimicrobial Activity Against Escherichia coli and Immunostimulatory Effects on Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 16, 24 April 2026.
Membrane vesicles derived from the probiotic Lacticaseibacillus casei BL23 demonstrate antimicrobial properties against Escherichia coli and a potential biological effect in improving the overall survival of C. elegans infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These vesicles stimulated immune responses in primary cells without causing toxicity. Our results

The Regulatory Role of Iron Transporter SLC39A13 in Liver Fibrosis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 20, 9 April 2026.
SLC39A13/ZIP13, a newly discovered intracellular iron transporter, delivers iron to the ER/Golgi to catalyze procollagen hydroxylation during collagen maturation. Here, we systematically characterize the cell type‐specific functions of ZIP13 across distinct hepatic cell populations, and identify hepatic stellate cell‐specific ZIP13 as a promising and ...

An experimental laboratory bench setup to study electric vehicle antilock braking / traction systems and their control [PDF]

, 2002
This paper describes the preliminary research and implementation of an experimental test bench set up for an electric vehicle antilock braking system (ABS)/traction control system (TCS) representing the dry, wet and icy road surfaces. A fuzzy logic based

Oncolytic Probiotics with Molecular Pili for Solid Tumor Therapy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
This study identifies Lactobacillus rhamnosus as an intrinsic oncolytic agent that triggers tumor metabolic collapse via calcium‐dependent ROS bursts. By chemically anchoring collagen‐targeting “molecular pili” to the bacterial surface, the engineered non‐transgenic probiotic (LR@MP) achieves targeted colonization and potent solid tumor suppression ...

Trajectory generation for road vehicle obstacle avoidance using convex optimization [PDF]

, 2010
This paper presents a method for trajectory generation using convex optimization to find a feasible, obstacle-free path for a road vehicle. Consideration of vehicle rotation is shown to be necessary if the trajectory is to avoid obstacles specified in a ...

A Review of Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Disease: Comprehensive Theory and Evidence for Mechanisms of Action

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) effects span central and peripheral organ systems through diverse mechanistic pathways. This comprehensive review provides a unified synthesis of these mechanisms across neurological, cardiovascular, immunological, metabolic, and gastrointestinal domains, filling a critical gap and serving as a foundational resource for ...

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Swampland: The Cosmologist's Handbook to the String‐Theoretical Swampland Programme

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.
