ABSTRACT Linerixibat, an ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT) inhibitor, is being evaluated for the treatment of pruritus in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Diarrhea is commonly reported with this drug class as IBAT inhibition redirects bile acids (BA) to the colon.

ABSTRACT Habitat management of small lotic waterbodies is essential to maintain flow and the quality of the habitats. For this purpose, aquatic plants are typically removed by authorities. This is done in a more or less disruptive manner, depending on the risk of interference with the bed.

Bijel Membranes with Tunable Porosity for pH‐responsive Microfiltration
This article reports the scalable production of symmetric bijel sheets with tunable, pH‐responsive pores for microfiltration. Unlike brittle, rigid bijel membranes, these soft, adaptable sheets enable dynamic control of permeability via pH changes. This robust roll‐to‐roll fabrication approach expands potential applications in separation membranes ...

Abstract This paper presents a reliability‐based assessment of the multilinear regression (MR) model to predict the ultimate load of slender circular concrete‐filled double‐skin tubular (CFDST) columns under eccentric loading. To assess the MR model's performance, reliability analyses of 10 experimental CFDST columns are conducted and then compared to ...

Further Exploration of the Fluency Corpus of Academic English Lectures: The Profile of Repetitions
Abstract In assessment contexts, the domain definition inference requires accurate documentation of linguistic demands in a specific target domain for precise measurement. The present study examines several aspects of repetitions in academic lecture settings to offer the domain definition inference for academic listening tests.

Abstract Frankfurt gave an account of “bullshit” as a statement made without regard to truth or falsity. Austin argued that a large amount of language consists of speech acts aimed at goals other than truth or falsity. We don't want our account of bullshit to include all performatives.

Abstract This article reports on the findings of a research study which has approached language learning motivation (LLM) following Ushioda's (2009) person‐in‐context relational view of L2 motivation, Consoli's life capital (2021, 2022), Dweck's mindset (2017) and Dörnyei's vision system (2009).

Bat algorithm based on kinetic adaptation and elite communication for engineering problems
Abstract The Bat algorithm, a metaheuristic optimization technique inspired by the foraging behaviour of bats, has been employed to tackle optimization problems. Known for its ease of implementation, parameter tunability, and strong global search capabilities, this algorithm finds application across diverse optimization problem domains. However, in the

Aloneness and the terms of detachment in West African migration
In this article, I examine practices of social detachment among West African migrants in urban Ghana. Faced with pressures arising from expectations of reciprocity, especially from kin back home, some migrants exert considerable efforts to break, if temporarily, with relations of mutual recognition and support, entering what I term migratory aloneness.
