Breaking the Silence: Willingness to Intervene in Cases of Intimate Partner Violence

Behavioral Sciences
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is frequently regarded as a private issue, with witnesses often responding accordingly. As a result, a lot of violence remains unreported, either by the victim or observers. Statistical analyses were conducted on data from

Predeterminated for war - a trace of intergenerational transmission of war legacies among ethnically divided post-war generation from Bosnian urban areas [PDF]

Bezbednosni Dijalozi, 2019
Existing studies show that generations born in peace can be affected by past war(s) through intergenerational transmission (IGT) of its legacies from the generations which experienced war and often are profoundly affected by this experience (e.g. Catani,

Conformational Switching of Proteins on Material Surfaces Enabled by Peptide‐Oriented Adsorption

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Responsive biointerfaces could be achieved using conformationally responsive proteins; however, their interconversion can be lost upon surface adsorption. Herein, we demonstrate that the incorporation a Au binding peptide into calmodulin allows for binding control on Au wherein the protein retains conformational switching. This capability was confirmed

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,

No Constitutional Treaty? Implications for the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. CEPS Working Documents No. 231, 1 October 2005 [PDF]

, 2005
The future of the Constitutional Treaty is now very much in doubt. The blows received from the French and Dutch referenda in such rapid succession have made it difficult to imagine that the Treaty, at least in its current form, will ever enter into force.
