    Abstract Modern environmental philosophy is a new type of philosophy for humans re-examining the relationship between man and nature and provides the value guidance for modern environmental law. China's environmental crime legislation has gone through the exploration period, establishment period, and optimization period. The environmental philosophy behind this is worth discussing and determines the direction China will take environmental crime in the future and whether China's environmental strategy can really be implemented. At present, the disputes about the environmental philosophy of environmental crime in China are mainly reflected in the contention between anthropocentrism, ecocentrism, and eco-anthropocentrism. There are radical risks of pure human centrism or pure ecological centrism, and these two theories struggle to serve as a value basis for environmental crime legislation. Although eco-anthropocentrism seems to be comprehensive, it is actually ambiguous, and it is still difficult to deal with the conflict between people and nature. In recent years, China has continuously emphasized the construction of ecological civilization construction and written this into the constitution. Therefore, in the environmental philosophy issues of environmental crimes in China, we should consider absorbing the advantages of anthropocentrism, ecocentrism, and eco-anthropocentrism, while taking the original Chinese ecological civilization philosophy as the value foundation.

    Abstract There is growing evidence that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) contaminates the marine environment and is bioaccumulated in filter-feeding shellfish. Previous study shows the Pacific oyster tissues can bioaccumulate the SARS-CoV-2, and the oyster heat shock protein 70 (oHSP70) may play as the primary attachment receptor to bind SARS-CoV-2's recombinant spike protein S1 subunit (rS1). However, detailed information about the interaction between rS1 and oHSP70 is still unknown. In this study, we confirmed that the affinity of recombinant oHSP70 (roHSP70) for rS1 (K

    Abstract The Frenet-Serret (FS) framework stands as a pivotal tool in shape sensing for various infrastructures. However, this tool suffers from accumulative errors, particularly at inflection points where the normal vector undergoes sign changes. To minimize the error, the traditional FS framework is modified by incorporating the homogeneous matrix transformation (HMT) method for segments containing inflection points. Additionally, inclination information is also used to calculate the unit tangent vector and the unit norm vector at the start point of each segment. This novel approach, termed the FS-HMT method, aims to enhance accuracy. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a simulation of a cantilever column was conducted using finite element software ANSYS 19.2. The numerical results demonstrate the capability of the proposed method to accurately predict curves with inflection points, yielding a maximum error of 1.1%. Subsequently, experimental verification was performed using a 1 m long spring steel sheet, showcasing an error of 4.9%, which is notably lower than that of the traditional FS framework. Our proposed modified FS framework exhibits improved accuracy, especially in scenarios involving inflection points. These findings underscore its potential as a valuable tool for enhanced shape sensing in practical applications.

    Abstract Purpose of review: This review briefly summarizes the significant impact of thromboinflammation in sickle cell disease in relation to recent advances in biomarkers that are used in functional microfluidic assays.
    Recent findings: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited hemoglobinopathy that affects 100 000 Americans and millions worldwide. Patients with SCD exhibit chronic haemolysis, chronic inflammation and thrombosis, and vaso-occlusion, triggering various clinical complications, including organ damage and increased mortality and morbidity. Recent advances in functional microfluidic assays provide direct biomarkers of disease, including abnormal white blood cell and red blood cell adhesion, cell aggregation, endothelial degradation and contraction, and thrombus formation.
    Summary: Novel and emerging functional microfluidic assays are a promising and feasible strategy to comprehensively characterize thromboinflammatory reactions in SCD, which can be used for personalized risk assessment and tailored therapeutic decisions.

    Abstract Effective global environmental governance is the only viable way to solve the human environmental crisis. For a long time, China has been an active promoter and contributor to the global environmental governance system. In recent years, China has enhanced the penalty intensity of environmental crimes, the environmental pollution crimes in particular, and received good results in order to better realize the construction of ecological civilization and better fulfill the emission reduction targets of international environmental treaties. The deterioration of China's environmental crisis in the past and the lack of deterrent effect of China's environmental laws are closely related to the ineffective punishment of environmental crimes. In order to better promote environmental protection careers, China's environmental crimes still need to be continuously optimized in terms of adding charges, legislative models and restorative justice.

    Abstract The ability to generate stable, spatiotemporally controllable concentration gradients is critical for both electrokinetic and biological applications such as directional wetting and chemotaxis. Electrochemical techniques for generating solution and surface gradients display benefits such as simplicity, controllability, and compatibility with automation. Here, we present an exploratory study for generating microscale spatiotemporally controllable gradients using a reaction-free electrokinetic technique in a microfluidic environment. Methanol solutions with ionic fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) molecules were used as an illustrative electrolyte. Spatially nonuniform alternating current (AC) electric fields were applied using hafnium dioxide (HfO

    Abstract The human intestinal tract plays an important role in human health, especially in food digestion and fermentation, as well as in nutrient absorption and immune modulation. Along its entire length the intestinal tract is inhabited by a large number of microbes, collectively called intestinal microbiota. The intestinal microbiota, composed of bacteria, archaea, viruses and eukaryotes (e.g. fungi and protozoa), interacts with the host through many ways, including (but not limit to) immune modulation and metabolite production (e.g. short chain fatty acids and vitamins), and hence, plays an important role in human health.The work described in the thesis aimed to decipher the composition and function of the GI tract microbiota in adults, especially elderly, as well as the response of the microbiota to different dietary fibre supplementations and how this is related to health. This thesis comprises seven chapters, including one review (Chapter 2) and four research chapters. Three of the research chapters focus on different dietary interventions (Chapter 3-5), whereas one research chapter focusses on the metabolic capacity of intestinal microbiota (Chapter 6).Chapter 2 dived into the literature and provided a detailed description of changes in the intestinal microbiota in the ageing population, highlighting the importance of health status. Based on the available literature, we hypothesized that observed changes in intestinal microbiota are not based on chronological ageing, but alterations in health status during ageing. Chapter 3 showed high similarity in the microbiota of healthy adults and that of healthy elderly, aside from a few genera that differed in relative abundance. Chapter 4 compared the microbiota of healthy adults and pre-frail elderly and revealed significant differences between age groups with the relative abundance of Bifidobacterium being lower in elderly. Moreover, in Chapter 6, comparing to the microbiota of healthy adults, the microbiota of pre-frail elderly demonstrated decreased metabolic capacity ...
