Towards a conceptual framework for the prevention of gambling-related harms: Findings from a scoping review.

The global gambling sector has grown significantly over recent years due to liberal deregulation and digital transformation. Likewise, concerns around gambling-related harms-experienced by individuals, their families, their local communities or societies-have also developed, with growing calls that they should be addressed by a public health approach. A public health approach towards gambling-related harms requires a multifaceted strategy, comprising initiatives promoting health protection, harm minimization and health surveillance across different strata of society.

New Amorphous Oxy-Sulfide Solid Electrolyte Material: Anion Exchange, Electrochemical Properties, and Lithium Dendrite Suppression via Interfacial Modification.

Glassy sulfide materials have been considered as promising candidates for solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) in lithium and sodium metal (LM and SM) batteries. While much of the current research on lithium glassy SSEs (GSSEs) has focused on the pure sulfide binary LiS + PS system, we have expanded these efforts by examining mixed-glass-former (MGF) compositions which have mixtures of glass formers, such as P and Si, which allow melt-quenching synthesis under ambient pressure and therefore the use of grain-boundary-free SSEs. We have doped these MGF compositions with oxygen to improve the chemical, electrochemical, and thermal properties of these glasses.

Functional heterogeneity of alveolar macrophage population based on expression of CXCL2.

Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are the major lung-resident macrophages and have contradictory functions. AMs maintain tolerance and tissue homeostasis, but they also initiate strong inflammatory responses. However, such opposing roles within the AM population were not known to be simultaneously generated and coexist.
