The authors explore the difficulties present in the capacity evaluation of patients with strong religious beliefs. The article reviews the legal protection for treatment refusal on religious grounds as well as psychiatry's approach to religion. Clinical cases encountered in an urban hospital are presented to highlight how the conflicts among psychiatric, religious, and legal issues can be resolved. Suggestions are made for incorporating an exploration of religious values into the capacity assessment.

RNA G-quadruplexes (rG4s) are non-canonical secondary nucleic acid structures found in the transcriptome. They play crucial roles in gene regulation by interacting with G4-binding proteins (G4BPs) in cells. rG4-G4BP complexes have been associated with human diseases, making them important targets for drug development.

Road runoff underwent treatment using a filter filled with sludge from drinking water treatment plants to assess its capacity for removing dissolved organic matter (DOM). This evaluation utilized resin fractionation, gel permeation chromatography, three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy, and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The filter demonstrated enhanced efficiency in removing dissolved organic carbon, achieving removal rates between 70 and 80%.
