Employees in child and adolescent psychiatry navigate a complex field of ethical requirements. At the Clinic for Children and Adolescents of the University Psychiatric Clinics Basel (UPKKJ), these areas of tension were examined in a project that spanned across numerous departments and professional groups. Based on a survey study and a narrative literature review, ethical guidelines were developed: the UPKKJ Ethics Compass.

Silicon Nitride Ceramics: Structure, Synthesis, Properties, and Biomedical Applications.

Silicon nitride ceramics excel by superior mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties that render the material suitable for applications in several technologically challenging fields. In addition to high temperature, high stress applications have been implemented in aerospace gas turbines and internal combustion engines as well as in tools for metal manufacturing, forming, and machining. During the past few decades, extensive research has been performed to make silicon nitride suitable for use in a variety of biomedical applications.

Daily localization of partial breast irradiation patients with three-dimensional ultrasound imaging.

Purpose: Accurate localization of the lumpectomy cavity during accelerated partial breast radiation (APBR) is essential for daily setup to ensure the prescribed dose encompasses the target and avoids unnecessary irradiation to surrounding normal tissues. Three-dimensional ultrasound (3D-US) allows direct visualization of the lumpectomy cavity without additional radiation exposure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of 3D-US in daily target localization for APBR.

Plasma-Sprayed Bioactive Ceramic Coatings with High Resorption Resistance Based on Transition Metal-Substituted Calcium Hexaorthophosphates.

Calcium (titanium, zirconium) hexaorthophosphates with a [NZP] (sodium zirconium phosphate) structure belonging to the NaSiCon ( uperonic ductor) family were deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying onto the surfaces of Ti6Al4V substrates. (NaSiCon refers to solids with the chemical formula NaZrSiPO, 0 < x < 3. In a broader sense, it is also used for similar compounds where Na, Zr and/or Si are replaced by isovalent elements).

The case of Frictional Torrefaction and the effect of reflux condensation on the operation of the Rotary Compression Unit.

This work introduces the process of Frictional Torrefaction and comes as a continuation to the previous work done on Frictional Pyrolysis, which is a novel method of pyrolysis that does not utilize heat but only friction and pressure. Both processes (i.e.
