Two Fast GC-MS Methods for the Measurement of Nicotine, Propylene Glycol, Vegetable Glycol, Ethylmaltol, Diacetyl, and Acetylpropionyl in Refill Liquids for E-Cigarettes

Molecules, 2023
The use of e-cigarettes (ECs) has become increasingly popular worldwide, even though scientific results have not established their safety. Diacetyl (DA) and acetylpropionyl (AP), which can be present in ECs, are linked with lung diseases.

Oral glucocorticoids added to ILD‐modifying therapy in systemic sclerosis‐associated interstitial lung disease: a target trial emulation study from the EUSTAR database.

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives We aimed to estimate whether adding oral glucocorticoids to ILD‐modifying therapy improves 12‐month lung outcomes in systemic sclerosis‐associated interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD). Methods We emulated a target trial using the EUSTAR database.

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Bilayered PEDOT:PSS–Collagen Scaffolds as Functional Architectures for Tissue Engineering

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A bilayered scaffold integrates collagen and PEDOT:PSS as distinct yet interconnected 3D matrices, preserving their fibrillar and conductive characteristics. Spatial compartmentalization enables independent tailoring of each domain while maintaining mechanical stability and compatibility with electrochemical monitoring, providing a multifunctional ...

Integrating Ethics of Technology into a Serious Game: The Case of Tethics

Open Philosophy
In the face of what is called “Existential risks/threats” or “polycrisis” – where digitalization, biomedicalization, and environmental degradation intertwine as existential threats – this article argues for a critical philosophy of technology as a ...

Will AI impoverish creativity? A virtue ethics response to the rush towards automation

Journal of Responsible Innovation
We argue against the assertion that automation of repetitive work by AI makes space for creative expression and creates opportunities that reduce inequality.

Unlocking Terahertz Steganography: Authentication of Hidden Images in Flexible Media

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hidden information in multilayered devices, such as steganographic portraits, is detected and authenticated using reflection‐mode terahertz time‐domain imaging. Image reconstruction relies on a dedicated figure‐of‐merit obtained by integrating the signal intensity over the time‐window associated with the reflection from the metallic mirror backing the ...

Heart in the work of the eminent Greek philosopher and physician Aristotle (384-322 BC)

Archives of the Balkan Medical Union, 2020
Aristotle (384-322 BC), the founder of the peripatetic sect of philosophers was a polymath and his work covers almost every major area of human inquiry such as physics, biology, metaphysics, ethics, rhetoric and politics. However, it seems that he had an
