Improved magnetostriction of Tb-Dy-Fe/Dy–Cu multilayer films by introducing interfacial stress due to the semi coherent interface by Yuze Zhao, Jiheng Li, Xiaoqian Bao, Xuexu Gao

“…The analysis of stress and strain distribution at the interface showed that Dy–Cu phase produced a maximum tensile strain of 3.8 %, and Tb-Dy-Fe phase correspondingly subjected to a significant compressive stress. By tailoring the anisotropy and magnetic domain structure through internal interface stress, it is expected to become an effective way to control the magnetic properties of magnetic thin films.…”

Long-term increase in soluble interleukin-6 receptor levels in convalescents after mild COVID-19 infection by Juliane Lokau, Juliane Lokau, Yvonne Garbers, Manuel M. Vicente, Anna Dittrich, Stefan Meltendorf, Holger Lingel, Anja K. Münster-Kühnel, Monika Brunner-Weinzierl, Christoph Garbers, Christoph Garbers

“…However, the IL-6R exists in membrane-bound and soluble forms (sIL-6R), and the sIL-6R in combination with soluble glycoprotein 130 (sgp130) forms an IL-6-neutralizing buffer system capable of neutralizing small amounts of IL-6.MethodsIn this study, we analyzed serum levels of IL-6, sIL-6R and sgp130 in the serum of COVID-19 convalescent individuals with a history of mild COVID-19 disease and in acute severely ill COVID-19 patients compared to uninfected control subjects. Furthermore, we used single cell RNA sequencing data in order to determine which immune cell types are sources and targets of the individual cytokines and whether their expression is altered in severe COVID-19 patients.ResultsWe find that sIL-6R levels are not only increased in acute severely ill patients, but also in convalescents after a mild COVID-19 infection. …”

DEFICIENCY OF DEMOCRACY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION: TO THE CONCEPT AND UNDERSTANDING OF PHENOMENOLOGY by Mykhaylo O. Baymuratov

“…Based on a systematic analysis of this phenomenology, it is concluded that the following features of this phenomenology can be distinguished: a) "democracy deficit" is a phenomenon that is not only inherent but also ordinary for modern democratic regimes (domestic level) or international organizations (international -subregional level) (subjective criterion); b) its characteristic feature is: insufficient level of democratic legitimacy (democratic recognition, recognition by the general population) of their institutions (functional- legitimate criterion); certain inconsistency of activities, mechanisms and procedures within such institutions with modern democratic standards (administrative-normative and procedural criteria). …”
