The low thickness of plastic films poses a challenge when using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy as it affects the spectral quality and classification. This research focuses on offering a solution to the challenge of classifying multilayer plastic film materials with a focus on polyolefin multilayer plastics. It presents the importance of spectral quality on accurate classification.

- - The EU aims to boost recycling targets for packaging materials, including metals and glass, as part of fostering a circular economy and exploring the potential of recovering metals from incineration bottom ashes (IBA).
- - An industrial-scale experiment evaluated the recoverable amounts of aluminum, magnetic ferrous metals, and glass over 4 mm from different types of IBA, highlighting that fluidized bed IBA significantly outperformed grate IBA in recoverable glass content and metal separation.
- - Enhanced treatment methods can recover over 95% of aluminum and magnetic ferrous metals from IBA, indicating that adopting advanced processing techniques, particularly for fluidized bed IBA, can effectively contribute to recycling efforts and the transition to a circular economy. *
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is prototypical autoimmune disease driven by pathological T cell-B cell interactions. Expansion of T follicular helper (T) and T peripheral helper (T) cells, two T cell populations that provide help to B cells, is a prominent feature of SLE. Human T and T cells characteristically produce high levels of the B cell chemoattractant CXCL13 (refs.

- The study aimed to evaluate how effective the SpaceOAR hydrogel is in reducing radiation proctitis when combined with prostate brachytherapy in a group of 731 patients.
- Among patients using the hydrogel, the incidence of radiation proctitis was significantly lower (4.1%) compared to those not using it (12.2%), with specific rates showing even greater reductions in different treatment scenarios.
- The findings suggest that SOAR not only reduces the occurrence of radiation proctitis but also highlights the need for more research to understand inflammation patterns observed during treatment.
