People simultaneously entangled in multiple state systems are often subject to contradictory legal mandates that can foster distrust and incentivize system avoidance. This study focuses on those indebted to both the child support system and the criminal legal system, a situation we describe as . We ask whether and how the imposition of legal debts with punitive surveillance and collections mechanisms fosters alienation in the form of legal cynicism and estrangement, which we refer to jointly as legal anomie. Drawing from interview data in Minnesota, we find that legal anomie and system avoidance are mutually reinforcing processes, as debts in these systems triggered consequences that pushed people out of the formal labor market and heightened their distrust of legal institutions. The case of dual debt demonstrates how alienating and contradictory policy systems can foster both legal anomie and system avoidance, particularly in the context of economic and social precarity.

Intrabronchial delivery of therapeutic agents is critical to the treatment of respiratory diseases. Targeted delivery is demanded because of the off-target accumulation of drugs in normal lung tissues caused by inhalation and the limited motion dexterity of clinical bronchoscopes in tortuous bronchial trees. Herein, we developed microrobotic swarms consisting of magnetic hydrogel microparticles to achieve intrabronchial targeted delivery.

Global South countries account for two-thirds of WHO Member States and are a crucial voice in negotiating the 'pandemic treaty', which Member States agreed was necessary if the world was to avoid a repeat of the significant inequity that resulted during COVID-19. The negotiation of a pandemic treaty presents an opportunity to recalibrate global health systems and processes for pandemic prevention, preparedness and response. However, for this to eventuate through global solidarity, as many Global South countries have said they expect, then concessions by developed states on issues that they have long protected must occur.

Apnea is a major complication of acute respiratory tract infection in young infants and may lead to the need for ventilatory support. Caffeine is methylxanthine, which is considered the mainstay of pharmacologic treatment for apnea of prematurity. On the basis of neonatal guidelines, caffeine has been used as a respiratory stimulant for the treatment of acute respiratory tract infection-related apnea, despite low evidence of its ability to improve clinical outcomes.

Catalyst deactivation poses a significant challenge in environmental remediation, especially for the photocatalytic oxidation of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (Cl-VOCs). In this study, a functional flower-like TiO@Mn/rGO (FTMG) catalyst coupled with a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) lamp was used as a novel photocatalytic oxidation (VUV-PCO) system for chlorobenzene (CB) oxidation. In this system, more than 80% of CB was efficiently oxidized at a high w8 hly space velocity of 600,000 g h, which was a 6.

A novel, efficient and sustainable methodology involving visible-light-mediated construction of pyrazolo[4,3-]pyrimidin-7(6)-ones from easily available 4-amino-1-methyl-3-propyl-1-pyrazole-5-carboxamide and aldehydes in the presence of 4CzIPN under an oxygen atmosphere has been developed. This photocatalytic system worked under mild conditions and avoided the use of any excess amount of toxic oxidants and transition metals. A variety of functionalized products were obtained in good to excellent yields.
