Cholangitis is a GI emergency requiring prompt recognition and treatment. The purpose of this document from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy’s (ASGE) Standards Practice Committee to provide an evidence-based approach management cholangitis. This addresses modality drainage (endoscopic vs percutaneous), timing intervention (<48 hours >48 hours), extent initial (comprehensive t...

Emotional self-efficacy (ESE) is an important aspect of emotional functioning, with current measures for children and adolescents focused on the measurement of selfbeliefs in relation to the management of emotions. In the current study, we report the psychometric properties of the first adaptation of the Emotional Self-Efficacy Scale (Kirk, Schutte, & Hine, 2008) for youth (Youth-ESES) that mea...

•The biomethane and biogas supply chain may emit up to 18.5 Tg CH4 per year•Biomethane much less than oil natural gas•CH4 loss rates in exceed those gas•The top 5% of emitters account for 62% emissions An immediate shift away from coal energy is necessary limit rising temperatures but challenging due needs, particularly areas like heating cooling that require substantial all year round. Natural...

Liver transplantation (LT) is a life-saving therapeutic modality for patients with various advanced liver diseases. It crucial to identify that the patient's illness sufficiently and unlikely improve medical management justify need transplantation. At same time, it comorbidities far disease would result in an unacceptable outcome after LT. Specific care also required before deciding on LT elder...

•Fluid and highly conductive carbon-based suspensions are reported•The potentially useful for flow-assisted electrochemical applications•Charge discharge of flowable electrodes is quantitatively demonstrated Carbon suspension promising energy storage systems. They serve as in electrolyte solutions flow batteries, or capacitors. can also be used other applications such capacitive deionization wa...

The global development project faces newly evident challenges in the combination of energy, climate and food crises. Their interrelationships create a powerful moment in world history in which analysts and practitioners grope for solutions, limited by the narrow market episteme. This contribution argues that official development, in advocating green market solutions, recycles the problem as sol...

In this article the establishment of publicly funded Muslim schools in Sweden is described and analysed. This is done by reference to relevant debates about these schools as well as to the content of the extracurricular subject Islamic Religious Education (IRE), which is what distinguishes a Muslim school from other schools in Sweden.

The emergence of new non-state actors in the post Cold War reality have dramatically changed security environment around the globe. Modern terrorism practiced by Al Qaeda and its associated movement (AQAM) has posed serious threat to critical information infrastructure given the trend of connecting control systems that run these infrastructures to the internet. Although AQAM have not been succe...

Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modeling of a continuous countercurrent hydrolysis process was performed using ANSYS-CFX. The liquid properties and flow behavior such as density, specific heats, dynamic viscosity, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansivity as well as water solubility of the hydrolysis components triglyceride, diglyceride, monoglyceride, free fatty acid, and glycerol were c...

Patient-generated data is increasingly common in chronic disease care management. Smartphone applications and wearable sensors help patients more easily collect health information. However, current commercial tools often do not effectively support patients and providers in collaboration surrounding these data. This paper examines patient expectations and current collaboration practices around p...
