During the mining of rare earth mineral, the use of lanthanum-containing fertilizers, and the disposal of lanthanum-containing electronic products, the content of lanthanum (La(III)) in typical ammonia wastewater with low carbon to nitrogen ratio is increasing day by day. Here, effects of La(III) on anammox process in performance, microbial community structure, metabolic function, and microbial co-occurrence network were investigated. The results shown that the nitrogen removal efficiency was declines briefly and then gradually recovers after low dosage (1-5 mg/L) La(III) treatment and the decrease to low level (24.25 ± 1.74%) under high La(III) dosage (10 mg/L). La(III) in the range of 1-5 mg/L significantly promoted the relative abundance of Anammoxoglobus (0.024% to 9.762%). The blocking of key metabolic pathways was confirmed to cause the breakdown of anammox by PICRUSt. Furthermore, network analysis revealed that lack of cooperation bacteria limits the activity of Anammoxoglobus.The aim of this work was to propose a comprehensive methodological approach integrating two of the most applied approaches to design biorefineries based on experimental data conceptual design and optimization. The proposed methodology involves three critical aspects i) experimental procedures, ii) simulation approach, and iii) optimization tools. The proposed approach was applied to a specific case as an example. The orange peel waste (OPW) was studied as raw material to feed the biorefinery with the purpose of valorizing the residues produced by the orange juice factories in the Colombian context. After implementing the methodology, the results show how essential oil and biogas were the most profitable and reliable products to be obtained through the processing of OPW.In this case, it is demonstrated also, that the understanding of the biorefinery possibilities is higher when this design methodology is applied.Quantitative recovery is necessary for scale-up application of acidic ionic liquids (AILs). Ultrafiltration and bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BMED) was employed for the recovery and regeneration of acidic ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate (Bmim[HSO4]) after biomass pretreatment. Ultrafiltration was designed for the purification of BMED feed solution. During BMED treatment, Bmim+ retention with OH- generation occurred in mixing section and SO42- immigration with H+ generation occurred in aciding section. Resulting aqueous Bmim[OH] in mixing section and H2SO4 in aciding section could be utilized for quantitative synthesis of Bmim[HSO4]. Influence of BMED operating mode and major parameters including BMED feed concentration and current density of BMED module were studied in detail. The highest recovery ratio for Bmim+ and SO42- reached 96.2% and 96.0%. And the lowest energy consumption of specific Bmim[HSO4] recovery approached 9.0 kw∙h/kg. Insight gained from this study suggested a sustainable biomass processing methodology using AILs.

To investigate patient-reported rehabilitation characteristics and barriers to and facilitators of ACL reconstruction rehabilitation.

Survey-based study.

Online survey platform.

Adults 1-20 years post ACL reconstruction (n=304).

1) rehabilitation characteristics, 2) barriers to and facilitators of rehabilitation.

Fear of re-injury (43.8%) was the highest rating barrier to rehabilitation adherence, while a good relationship with your rehabilitation provider was regarded as the most important factor (83.6%) in facilitating rehabilitation. Rehabilitation frequency reduced across the duration of rehabilitation from most commonly 1 x week (38.2%) in the first three months to once every month (26%) from 6 to 9 months. Almost all participants (95.7%) consulted a rehabilitation provider for the first six months. Only 43.4% of respondents returned to their previous level of sport. The exploratory analysis identified that low barriers to rehabilitation and a longer duration of supervised rehabilitation are associated with a faster return to sport, greater likelihood of return to previous level of sport and fewer reported ongoing problems with the knee.

This cross-sectional survey provides insight into the patient’s experience of rehabilitation practices and a patient’s perspective on the key barriers to and facilitators of ACL rehabilitation adherence and participation.

Research suggests that the frequency of training, combined with the repetitive motion involved in high volume swimming can predispose swimmers to symptoms of over-training. The prevention of pain, injury and illness is of paramount importance in competitive swimming in order to maximise a swimmer’s ability to train and perform consistently. A significant factor in the prevention of pain, injury or illness is the appropriate load monitoring and management practices within a training programme.

The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate the relationship between training load and pain, injury and illness in competitive swimmers.

The databases SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, Scopus, MEDLINE and Embase were searched in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Studies were included if they reported on competitive swimmers and analysed the link between training load and either pain, injury or illness. The methodological quality and study bias were assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checkon Rating of Perceived Exertion (sRPE) monitoring method and investigating the applicability of Acute/Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR) and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA). Improved methods and study design will provide further clarity on the relationship between load and pain, injury, and illness.

To investigate if applying Kinesiology Tape (KT) on the unstable ankle may improve static postural control in individuals with Functional ankle instability.

A repeated measured study. Participants performed a series of static quiet bipedal and unipedal stances on a force platform. this website Measurements were taken at three different times baseline or no tape, immediately and 24h after the taping application with the tape remaining on the ankle.

A university’s psychomotor laboratory.

Twenty young adults with Functional ankle instability aged from 18 to 30 years old.

Postural control was assessed by four measures derived from the centre of pressure data Area of 95% Confidence ellipse, standard deviation of displacements, mean velocity and mean power frequency. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine any significant improvement in postural control over time due to KT.

Only minor changes in mean velocity and MPF in unipedal stances were observed immediately after KT application. However, the overall results indicated statistically insignificant improvements in postural control neither immediately after KT application nor after 24h.
