A Supraparticle-Based Approach to Robust Biomimetic Superhydrophobic Coatings.

Repellent surfaces provide resistance to biofouling, ice formation, bacteria adhesion, or corrosion. Inspired by the hierarchical structure of the lotus leaf, such surfaces minimize water adhesion through micro- and nanostructuring. Conventional fabrication methods to mimic the lotus leaf often involve problematic fluorinated compounds, sophisticated preparation conditions, or lack mechanical robustness.

Challenges to reliable ICD-10 coding of child maltreatment: A qualitative interview study of healthcare professionals in German and Swedish hospitals.

Background: Child maltreatment (CM) is a major public health issue. Data collection, analysis, and reporting are widely recognized as key components in developing policies and programs aimed at preventing child maltreatment. Unfortunately, CM is significantly under-coded by healthcare professionals (HCPs) in hospitals.

[Coding of child abuse and neglect in hospitals in Germany: overview and classification of administrative data].

Background: Child maltreatment is a significant problem in Germany. Hospital data on child maltreatment serve as a crucial foundation for planning effective prevention measures. These data enable an assessment of the extent to which at-risk children and adolescents are identified, supported, and protected.

Protecting children against sexual abuse in youth-serving organizations: A qualitative vignette study on (potential) offenders' and therapists' views of Safeguarding Programs.

Background: Holistic approaches to preventing child sexual abuse (CSA) such as German Safeguarding Programs integrate comprehensive analysis, intervention, prevention, and evaluation efforts and can be used to address CSA in youth-serving organizations (YSOs). To date, little is known about how adults who have committed CSA in YSOs in the past (i.e.

Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse: Prevention Programs and Safeguarding Concepts in the Context of Sports, Musical Education, and Religious Organizations Prevalence rates of child sexual abuse by caregivers in private and non-public institutions underscore the need for implementing safeguarding concepts. However, factors driving the implementation of prevention and safeguarding in the field are not well understood. What supportive and inhibiting factors can be identified in the implementation of safeguarding concepts and prevention programs? Content analysis of semi-structured interviews with professional and volunteer staff in clubs and institutions (n = 10, 69 % female) as well as with individuals who experienced child sexual abuse during their childhood (n = 3, 66 % female).

[Sexualized Violence Toward Children and Adolescents: The Visibility and Implementation of Safeguarding Concepts in Sports, Music, and Church].

Sexualized Violence Toward Children and Adolescents: The Visibility and Implementation of Safeguarding Concepts in Sports, Music, and Church In 2010, the disclosure of sexualized violence in educational organizations led to a public debate and calls for safeguarding concepts against sexualized violence toward children and adolescents. However, there have been few efforts to systematically record the visibility, availability, and implementation of such concepts. We used a broad Google search and a telephone survey as an initial approach to close this research gap.

From Meso to Macro: Controlling Hierarchical Porosity in Supraparticle Powders.

A drying droplet containing colloidal particles can consolidate into a spherical assembly called a supraparticle. Such supraparticles are inherently porous due to the spaces between the constituent primary particles. Here, the emergent, hierarchical porosity in spray-dried supraparticles is tailored via three distinct strategies acting at different length scales.

From Sticky to Slippery: Self-Functionalizing Lubricants for Fabrication of Liquid-Infused Surfaces.

Liquid-infused surfaces offer a versatile approach to create self-cleaning coatings. In such coatings, a thin film of a fluid lubricant homogeneously coats the substrate and thus prevents direct contact with a second, contaminating liquid. For stable repellency, the interfacial energies need to be controlled to ensure that the lubricant is not replaced by the contaminating liquid.

Cell Interactions with Size-Controlled Colloidal Monolayers: Toward Improved Coatings in Bone Tissue Engineering.

The surface structure of biomaterials is of key importance to control its interactions with biological environments. Industrial fabrication and coating processes often introduce particulate nanostructures at implant surfaces. Understanding the cellular interaction with particle-based surface topologies and feature sizes in the colloidal length scale therefore offers the possibility to improve the biological response of synthetic biomaterials.
