Debrunner Koenig ist ein Schweizer Grosshandelsunternehmen in den Bereichen Bewehrungen, Stahl & Metalle, Metall Service und Technische Produkte für Kunden in den Bereichen Bau, Industrie und Gewerbe. Die Unternehmensgruppe, deren Muttergesellschaft die Debrunner Koenig AG mit Sitz in St. Gallen ist, beschäftigt 1'429 Mitarbeitende und erwirtschaftete 2020 einen Umsatz von 981 Millionen Schweizer Franken.

Das Unternehmen entstand 1988 durch den Zusammenschluss der traditionsreichen St. Galler Debrunner-Gruppe, deren Wurzeln bis 1755 reichen, mit der Koenig-Gruppe. Seit 1997 gehört sie zur deutschen Klöckner & Co.

Tätigkeitsgebiet
Die Unternehmensgruppe umfasst die vier Geschäftsbereiche Bewehrungen, Stahl & Metalle, Metall Service und Technische Produkte, zu denen die Unternehmen Debrunner Acifer, Debrunner Acifer Bewehrungen, Metall Service Menziken und Bewetec gehören.

Der Geschäftsbereich Bewehrungen beinhaltet sämtliche Bewehrungsstähle, ausgewählte Produkte aus der Bewehrungstechnik und Bewehrungszubehör. Der Geschäftsbereich Stahl & Metalle bedient die Unternehmensgruppe mit Stahl wie Stahlträgern, Profilen, Blechen sowie Metallen und bietet dafür verschiedene Anarbeitungsdienstleistungen. Der Bereich Metall Service bietet mit seinen hochwertigen Stahl und Aluminium- und Metall-Servicecentren einen wichtigen Versorgungsbeitrag in der Schweizer Maschinenindustrie. Der dritte Geschäftsbereich Technische Produkte deckt weitere Bereiche des Baubedarfs und unserer Industrie- und Handwerkerkunden ab: Tiefbau, Wasser- und Gebäudetechnik, Befestigungstechnik, Werkzeuge, Maschinen und Arbeitsschutz.

Geschichte
Die Wurzeln der Gruppe reichen bis 1755, als in St. Gallen die Hochreutiner'sche Eisenhandlung gegründet wurde. Das Geschäft wurde vier Generationen lang von der Familie Hochreutiner geleitet.

1862, nach Abbruch der direkten Erbfolge, übernahm Theodor Scherrer die Führung. Auf ihn folgte 1885 Jean Debrunner. Unter seiner Leitung expandierte das Unternehmen und wurde 1911 in Debrunner & Cie umbenannt. Die Kriegs- und Nachkriegsjahre setzten der durch die Industrialisierung blühenden Konjunktur ein jähes Ende.

1930 wurde aus der bisherigen Kommanditgesellschaft eine Aktiengesellschaft. Diese ging mit Henri Debrunner und Max Scherrer, den Söhnen der beiden vorgängigen Unternehmensleitern, an die nächste Generation weiter. Der sich nach Krisenjahren zaghaft erholende Stahl- und Eisenwarenhandel erlitt mit dem Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkrieges wieder einen Rückschlag.

Mit den Nachkriegsjahren und dem darauf folgenden starken Wirtschaftsaufschwung wuchs Debrunner über vier Jahrzehnte lang zu einer landesweit tätigen Unternehmensgruppe an. 1988 schlossen sich die Debrunner-Gruppe und die Koenig-Gruppe zusammen. Die bisherige Debrunner AG wurde hierbei als operative Konzerntochter weitergeführt. Diese erwarb 1996 die Acifer-Gruppe, woraus die Debrunner Acifer AG entstand, und in der Folge weitere regional tätige Unternehmen.

Ende 2005 übernahm das Unternehmen von der Alu Menziken Holding deren Geschäftseinheit Metall Service. Diese wurde als eigenständige Division Metalle in den Debrunner Koenig Konzern eingegliedert und firmiert heute als Metall Service Menziken AG.

2008 wurde die auf Verbindungs-, Befestigungs- und Verschlusstechnik spezialisierte Tochtergesellschaft Koenig Verbindungstechnik AG im Rahmen eines Management-Buy-outs aus der Debrunner Koenig Holding herausgelöst und an die Schweizer Private-Equity-Gesellschaft Capvis verkauft.

Die Firma Koenig Feinstahl AG hat Ende 2015 ihre Tätigkeit für die metallverarbeitende Industrie wie wertsteigernde Zuschneide-, Lagerhaltungs- und Distributionsleistungen eingestellt.

The history of Renault trucks dates back to 1894, when Marius Berliet designed and constructed single cylinder engine and his first petrol car. In 1906, he constructed his first truck. Renault has been collecting the experience for over 100 years, while constantly innovating its technologies. Finally, in 2013, Renault introduced and launched four new truck ranges covering wide scale of applications. Renault Trucks T are suitable for national and international long-haul transport, Renault Trucks K for heavy-construction usage, Renault Trucks C for construction sites and Renault Trucks D for distribution. The model names correspond with their engine ratings (e.g. the T 380 truck is rated at 380 hp).
The T-range of Renault trucks, launched in 2013, includes two long haul vehicle subranges; Renault T High range (3 models) and T range (6 models). All Renault Trucks T implement an aerodynamic design, robust components, and reinforced cab and chassis. Renault Trucks T also provide onboard comfort, cab with ergonomic features and lot of storage space. The standard wheel drive configurations are 4x2 and 6x2 (rigid and tractor). The T High range is suitable for batch transport (long-haul). It is equipped with DTI 13 engine rated at 440/480/520 hp (Euro 6). The gross combined weight (GCW) of Renault T High models ranges from 40 to 70 tons and the gross vehicle weight (GVW) from 19 to 26 tons.
Renault offers the high sleeper cab for the T High range of truck, which is a comfortable cab with bunk, high roof and flat floor, suitable for long-haul transport. Renault Trucks T can be equipped with DTI 11 (380/430/460 hp) or DTI 13 (440/480/520 hp) in-line 6-cylinder engines, meeting the Euro 6 emission standards. The gross combined weight of Renault T models ranges between 40 and 60 tons and the gross vehicle weight from 18 to 26 tons. Renault offers those cabs for the T-range; the day cab (standard roof), night and day cab (cab with bunk, standard roof) and sleep cab (with bunk and high roof for maximum comfort). Renault T-range is suitable for batch transport, car transport, tanker transport and also temperature-controlled transport. All Renault T-range trucks are equipped with Optivision, which is a cruise control system with GPS for optimized gear changing.
This is the range of heavy-construction Renault trucks, including 6 models and their configurations. The K-range trucks are equipped with heavy-load designed chassis, which leads to reduced number of return trips; therefore, additional cost saving. Renault K 380-520 range is suitable for concrete transport (mixer), earthmoving, logging transport, mining and also transport of goods. Depending on the configuration and usage (8x4 rigid/6x4 tractor), the K-range is powered by DTI 11 (380/430/460 hp) or DTI 13 (440/480/520 hp) engines, being Euro 6 compliant. The gross combined weight (GCW) of Renault Trucks K ranges from 40 to 120 tons and their gross vehicle weight (GVW) ranges between 18 and 50 tons. The K-range offers ergonomic cab with automatic equipment for maximum drivers' comfort. Renault Trucks K are compatible with the day and night and day cabs. Renault Trucks K feature off-road mode, that is dedicated to driving on construction sites. Moreover, Renault offers the K Xtrem version with payload of 34 tons, which is built for usage in the most challenging environments.
The C-range is the construction range of Renault trucks, suitable for concrete transport (8x4 rigid configuration, capacity of 9 m3), earthmoving (6x4/8x2/8x4), transport of goods (4x2/6x4) and transport of materials (8x4 Tridem/6x4). The 8x4 Tridem configuration is more maneuverable than the standard 8x4 and provides greater loading capacity than the 6x4 configuration.The C-range combines the drive comfort of a long-haul (T-range) vehicle with robustness of a construction truck, offering reliability and reduced fuel consumption. Renault Trucks C can be equipped with three Euro 6 engines; DTI 11 (380/430/460 hp), DTI 13 (440/480/520 hp) and DTI 8 (250/280/320 hp). The C-range is divided into two truck subranges by the width of cab — 2,5 m and 2,3 m wide models. The gross combined weight (GCW) of the wider cab models (2,5 m) ranges between 40 and 100 tons and the gross vehicle weight (GVW) from 18 to 33 tons, whereas the GCW of the narrower cab (2,3 m) models ranges from 18 to 44 tons and their GVW from 18 to 26 tons. Renault Trucks C are compatible with the day, night and day, global and sleeper cab types.
The D-range is the distribution range of trucks suitable for car transport, tanker transport and temperature-controlled transport. Renault Trucks D are further divided into D and D Wide models with 4x2 tractor, 4x2 rigid and 6x2 rigid drive configurations. Renault D Wide trucks are equipped with 6-cylinder DTI 8 engines (Euro 6) rated at 250/280/320 hp, their gross vehicle weight (GVW) ranges from 18 to 26 tons and the gross combined weight (GCW) from 21,5 to 44 tons. The D Wide trucks offer 2,3 m wide cabs of those types; day, global, night and day and sleeper. The second group of models, D trucks (2,1 wide cab), are equipped with DTI 5 (210/240 hp) or DTI 8 (250/280 hp) Euro 6 engines. The GVW of D models ranges from 10 to 18 tons and the GCW from 13,5 to 36 tons. Renault offers the day, global and crew cabs for the 2,1 cab wide D-range of distribution trucks.


...when you don't have a florist's van!
If I'm taking a small bouquet to the hospital, I try to use a vase which will fit in my car's cup holder. These large garden bouquets were too big, though. I tossed and turned all night worrying how to transport them with the kids. Finally I came up with this cheap solution: a box within a box. Choose a small box that fits tightly around the container. A milk carton works well for many vases. Then, find a box that is wider and lower than the first. Cut the appropriate size opening in its center. Place the wide box in the car, then insert the second box, followed by the flowers.
It worked! Not a drop spilled or a stem out of place. Whew! Next time I'll leave the flowers to the experts!
Thanks for all the impromptu advice yesterday! Flowers were sold out all over Nashville due to graduation ceremonies over the weekend. My husband was worried bugs might crawl out of my lemon trees, so I made a basic bouquet with what I could find. Harris-Teeter sells 3 flower bundles for $12.
The bouquets look fantastic! And very clever solution to transporting them! I glean so much useful advice from your blog.
Wow! Meredith, that's a creative solution! And the flowers sure don't like like $12-worth of grocery store flowers!
Do you have any advice for SENDING flowers inexpensively? For us, relatives live a long way away.
Great job with both the flowers and there tranportation!
Beautiful bouquets! I had to to do this one Mother's Day, when I decided to buy a huge thing of roses from Sam's Club for the two moms. I rested the two vases each inside of a plastic ice bucket. I then surrounded them with towels, to keep them upright and absorb any spilled water. Then I set them inside of a box. Who would have thought that transporting flowers takes so much coordination!

On 27 November, the LHC teams celebrated the end of production of the machine's main magnets. Some 1232 main dipole and 392 main quadrupole magnets have been manufactured in an unprecedented collaboration effort between CERN and European industry.
The LHC Project Leader Lyn Evans (left) and Lucio Rossi, head of the Magnets, Cryostats and Superconductors Group (right), in front of the final superconducting main magnet delivered to CERN. Part of the magnet can be seen on the back of the long delivery lorry, extending outside the frame of the photograph.
It was a moment they had been dreaming of for four years, when the electronic display panel above the entrance to the fourth floor of Building 30 clicked over to reveal a beautiful zero! This display panel, inaugurated at the end of 2002 (see Bulletin 44/2002), has been counting down the number of superconducting magnets remaining to be delivered to CERN. On Monday 27 November, Lucio Rossi and his MCS Group (Magnets, Cryostats and Superconductors) in AT Department finally saw the zero appear on the panel, marking the completion of production of the 1232 main dipole magnets. And what a splendid symbol it was, twenty years after the first design studies began, thirteen years after the first prototypes and six years after the start of series production. The event was celebrated the very same day at a ceremony in SMA18, the hall where the magnets are being assembled. The teams were not only celebrating the end of dipole production but also the completion of all the main superconducting magnets. Production of the 392 quadrupole magnets inserted into the short straight sections came to an end almost simultaneously. 'It's a great day for our team, the crowning moment of more than 10 years' intensive work and the end of the largest production run ever commissioned by a particle physics laboratory,' underlines Lucio Rossi. 'I would like to thank all the members of my team as well as our trusted partners from industry, who have been indispensable.'
The dipole magnets (15 metres long and weighing 35 tonnes) constitute the largest part of the LHC machine, accounting for some 20 of the ring's 27 kilometres. The purpose of these magnets, which are cooled to -271ºC, is to generate a magnetic field in excess of 8 tesla which bends the trajectory of the LHC protons. The difficulties encountered in industrialising these sophisticated components were legion. To overcome them it took the dogged perseverance of all members of the MCS Group, spurred on by a Group Leader with iron determination and boundless reserves of energy. 'We should also remember the work done by the other groups in AT and in other Departments, especially TS-MME and AB-ABP,' Rossi adds.
The most complex part of the magnet is the superconducting coil, consisting of a cable that carries 13000-amp electrical currents. Each cable is made up of some thirty strands containing 6000 to 9000 filaments ten times finer than a human hair, made of the superconducting alloy niobium-titanium. Production of the 250000 kilometres of strands for the 7000 kilometres of cable needed for the magnets, with consistent quality and rigorous checks, was a monumental challenge for industry and CERN. The coil is inserted into an austenitic steel collar structure. Twelve million of these were produced for the LHC dipoles! Last but not least, the assembly of these components and the dozens of others which make up the magnets required the three firms which shared this contract - Alstom-Jeumont (France), Ansaldo Superconduttori (Italy), Babcock Noell (Germany) - to embark upon a lengthy learning process. First they each had to manufacture a pre-series of 30 magnets before they were awarded contracts for the production of all the dipoles. CERN teams were involved throughout the entire project, from the definition of the industrial processes to the quality control. The Laboratory itself tested certain assembly processes on site before transferring them to the companies. One of the innovative techniques developed by CERN was the welding technique STT (Surface Tension Transfer), by which the cold mass enclosure can be welded at an otherwise impossible rate and quality level.
The quadrupole magnets, although three times less numerous and bulky, were no less complex to build. They were designed to focus the beams and are positioned in the short straight sections along with other corrector magnets. They were designed and produced in close collaboration with the CEA-Dapnia Institute in Saclay (France) as part of France's special contribution to the LHC. After the first design parameters were outlined in 1989, numerous prototypes and technical modifications were required before the specifications could be finalised and the manufacturing contract awarded to the German company ACCEL, in 2000. Production was made even more complex by the great variety of these magnets - there are no less than 32 different types of arc quadrupole. Here too, the manufacturing process called for strong collaboration between the company and the laboratories.
The production of the LHC superconducting magnets is a fine example of collaboration between research laboratories and industry,' Lucio Rossi concludes. 'We have learned a great deal from this cooperation process and our industrial partners are now reaping the benefits of these specially developed techniques.'
Some of the MCS group members in front of the electronic display panel that showed a score of zero; amongst those in the first row are: Philippe Lebrun (head of AT Department), Lucio Rossi (head of the MCS group), CERN's Director-General Robert Aymar, and Lyn Evans (LHC Project Leader).

(Citation: HC Deb, 27 October 1966, c1326)
Dr Horace King , Southampton, Itchen
I have no objection.
Mr Bill Baker , Banffshire
I am obliged. During the debate on Clause 50 in Standing Committee, several hon. Members, including my hon. Friend the Member for Hornsey (Mr. Rossi), commented on the difficulty of understanding the Clause. Having listened to my hon. Friend's extremely clear exposition on an equally, if not more, abstruse point last night, I feel that the Clause must be extremely complicated if he says that it is. I do not suppose that it is any good at this stage protesting against the complexity of the Bill.
In Committee, the Opposition tried to get clarification of various points. On 28th July the Minister said this: They"— that is, the developers— would like some assurance that in normal circumstances, when the parties are at arm's length, certain consequences would follow, not merely to have to assume that the Commission will act reasonably and sensibly. We will consider whether it is possible to remove any uncertainty in order to help the purchaser and developer."— I should like to repeat the final sentence: We will consider whether it is possible to remove any uncertainty in order to help the purchaser and developer. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the Minister has been unable to do so, otherwise I imagine that the Government would have tabled Amendments to the Clause. However, to be fair to the right hon. Gentleman, he said earlier in the same column of the OFFICIAL REPORT: We will consider how far we might use the power of issuing general directions to remove the uncertainty…"—[OFFICIAL REPORT, Standing Committee E, 28th July, 1966; c. 647.] We should like to know whether the Government have found it possible to do this. If not, I think that the Minister is subjecting his own Commission to complexities, and that leaves out of account the interpretation of the Bill by the public and their advisers. I suggest that the Government accept the Amendment in order considerably to help the developer.
As the Bill stands, when a sale is completed and a notice of levy is given, the date of assessment of levy is the date when the notice of levy was given. That is my interpretation of the Bill. To my mind—to a small mind, let me admit—this illustrates the complexities of what we are trying to enact.
The Amendments, in effect, rewrite subsection (2) and make provision for payments of levy to be made when they should sensibly be made. If a man lets his house, he will be charged a levy based on the rent which he obtains for the house over seven years. The levy becomes payable on the date on which the contract is signed. It is, therefore, conceivable that the man letting the house will have to pay the levy and thus completely negative the receipt of a whole year's rent. In other words, he will have to go a whole year without receiving a penny piece in rent from his tenant. If the payments were made to the Commission on an annual basis or some other method, it would be much fairer to the man letting the house. This applies to any rented premises, whether houses, factories or anything else. In Scotland, it equally applies to incomes from feu duties.
We propose that the levy should be payable when the development takes place. If it is not possible to lay down conditions by regulation, then I suggest that the Government should accept the Amendment. A number of my hon. Friends and I think it essential to make the position clear to the public by Statute and not by regulation. In essence, that is what we are requesting—that the payment be made only out of the money received.
Mr Frederick Willey , Sunderland North
As the hon. Member for Banff (Mr. Baker) has reminded us, this is a matter which we have discussed. He has raised an important point. Once the system of the levy is established, ways and means will be found to secure the levy. In effect, the hon. Gentleman is saying that the levy should be paid only when the monies have been received.
The difficulty about this is twofold. Administratively it would be almost impossible to provide for it. Second, it would be enormously expensive to create machinery to trace the payments. What we can do is to expect the Commission to use its powers about postponement and payment by instalments.
The hon. Gentleman asked what I envisaged would be the procedure. I expect that the Land Commission will devise rules of practice. These will be known. They will be rules of guidance as to circumstances in which the Commission is likely to resort to these powers. As I said in Standing Committee, there will be an opportunity, if it were thought necessary——
Notice taken that 40 Members were not present;
Link to this item In context Individually
House counted, and, 40 Members being present—
As I was saying in reply to the hon. Member for Banff, I can only repeat what I said in Standing Committee. Certainly this would be a matter which we would consider as being appropriate for the use of the power to make directions. One would first, however, as I am sure that the hon. Member would agree, see whether the Commission thought it fit and proper itself to make rules of practice regarding this.
Mr Graham Page , Crosby
This is a very important Amendment, certainly from our point of view. We raised the point many times in Committee and on occasions the Minister said that he would consider it. We now have it in the form of an Amendment. It means, briefly, that the levy payer should not be called upon to pay the levy until he receives the money on which the levy is assessed.
My right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Hexham (Mr. Rippon) said yesterday that the Bill was just a matter of throwing the print on the paper. I have acquired a copy of the Bill from the printers' office and I find that they missed with the throw on this very page 50. On that page, the Bill is completely blank. It is a lot better that way. At least, I can understand the blank sheet. We have been quite unable to understand the jibberish in the Bill and it seems that the printers have also failed to understand it and have produced Bills with blank sheets. This copy of mine was one of them, on page 50. For greater accuracy, therefore, I had to obtain another copy to see what our Amendment does.
The date is described in subsection (1) as a date on which the principal amount of the levy accrues due. It accrues due on the date set out in either subsection (2) or subsection (3). As subsection (2) stands, the date would be the date specified in the assessment. By turning back to Clause 45, at the foot of page 46, we find that the notice of assessment has to include a date (not being earlier than two months from the date of service of the notice) as the date on which the levy is charged. 4.45 p.m.
The levy thus becomes payable after the chargeable act or event, after the chargeable event has been notified to the Commission and after the Commission has, perhaps, asked a few questions about it and has then issued the notice of assessment and specified in it a date not earlier than two months from the date of service of the notice.
Taking into account that period, which, I imagine, might be something like six months, even with expedition, it is hardly likely that a Case A would suffer from the Clause as it stands. Case A is where the vendor has sold the property and normally will have received the sale price or the consideration for the conveyance at the time he makes the conveyance.
Case B is a very different situation. As my hon. Friend the Member for Banff (Mr. Baker) pointed out in moving the Amendment, if property is let under a lease of seven years or more, which comes under Case B, the property is assessed to discover what net development value results from that letting. The assessment is made on that net development value. The net development value may be equal, as my hon. Friend has said, to a year's rent, it might be equal to more or less, but there is no doubt that unless a premium is paid, out of which the levy might be payable, the landlord will be called upon to pay the levy before he has realised the money on which the levy is assessed—that is, the rent of the property.
We would hope by the Amendment to require the Commission to spread the payment of the levy over the rent. It might be that if the amount of money was small, the landlord would wish to discharge it at once. If it was a large amount, it should be spread over the payments.
A transaction under Case C of a development is perhaps the hardest case. Immediately the developer starts a development, such as digging a trench for the foundation of his buildings, he is assessed for levy. It may be years before he realises the proceeds of that development in actual cash. Therefore, he will have to pay out the levy and wait until he finishes his development, and, perhaps, disposes of the property, before he gets the money on which the levy has been assessed
In Case D—compensation for revocation of planning permission—the amount of levy to become payable is to be assessed when the compensation accrues due to the owner whose planning permission has been revoked. This certainly does not mean, the date on which he is able to put money in his pocket. Those of us who have had experience of compensation cases know only too well that one can agree the figure but that it takes months and months to get the cash out of the statutory undertakers or the local authority. So the levy payer will have to make payment of his levy before he receives the cash on which the levy is assessed.
The same will apply in Case E where easements may have been granted on an annual licence fee, which is a very frequent form of transaction. The assessment will be made on the value of the property in relation to that transaction and levy will have to be paid probably before the receipt of the money on which the levy is assessed.
Case F will relate amongst other things to pipe lines. One does not receive a premium for a pipe line being laid through one's property; it is always done as a matter of licence fee annually or based on other periods, and the same applies as in the case of letting.
The problem arises from the fact that the Government obstinately have refused to treat the levy as any form of tax and apply normal tax laws to it. They have
treated it as a capital demand on the levy payer to be paid by him regardless of the financial circumstances out of which he finds the money. He is assessed for a levy and, no matter what his means may be, no matter whether he has received the money from which the assessment arises, he must pay the levy. All that he can do is, later in the Clause, go on bended knee to the Commission and ask if it will let him pay by instalments. The Commission can then say that it wants security for that postponed payment.
As the Bill stands at the moment, no one can rely on the Commission ever granting that concession for payment by instalments or for postponed payment. From time to time the right hon. Gentleman has said, "Oh, yes. In proper cases, the Commission will allow such payment." At one time, I think that he added, "We might even make regulations about it."
The receipt of the money on which the levy is assessed is a matter which should be in the Bill. There should also be the Clause concerning the Commission granting a concession for payment by instalments. I do not want to wipe out that one, but I do want it to be quite definite in the Bill that the levy is payable out of the money received and that the poor unfortunate victim of the levy will not be mulcted of the money before he has received it out of the transaction which gives rise to the levy.
Question put, That those words be there inserted in the Bill:—

Self-Assembled Plasmonic Nanojunctions Mediated by Host-Guest Interaction for Ultrasensitive Dual-Mode Detection of Cholesterol.
Chen, Hua-Ying; Xin, Pei-Lin; Xu, Han-Bin; Lv, Jian; Qian, Ruo-Can; Li, Da-Wei.
ACS Sens ; 8(1): 388-396, 2023 Jan 27.
Herein, a fluorescence and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy dual-mode system was designed for cholesterol detection based on self-assembled plasmonic nanojunctions mediated by the competition of rhodamine 6G (R6G) and cholesterol with ß-cyclodextrin modified on gold nanoparticles (HS-ß-CD@Au). The fluorescence of R6G was quenched by HS-ß-CD@Au due to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer effect. When cholesterol was introduced as the competitive guest, R6G in the cavities of HS-ß-CD@Au was displaced to recover its fluorescence. Moreover, two of HS-ß-CD@Au can be linked by one cholesterol to form a more stable 2:1 complex, and then, plasmonic nanojunctions were generated, which resulted in the increasing SERS signal of R6G. In addition, fluorescence and SERS intensity of R6G increased linearly with the increase in the cholesterol concentrations with the limits of detection of 95 and 74 nM, respectively. Furthermore, the dual-mode strategy can realize the reliable and sensitive detection of cholesterol in the serum with good accuracy, and two sets of data can mutually validate each other, which demonstrated great application prospects in the surveillance of diseases related with cholesterol.

J Hepatocell Carcinoma ; 10: 27-42, 2023.
Purpose: To identify disease-specific profiles comprising patient characteristics and imaging biomarkers on contrast-enhanced (CE)-computed tomography (CT) that enable the non-invasive prediction of the hepatopulmonary shunt fraction (HPSF) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) before resin-based transarterial radioembolization (TARE). Patients and Methods: This institutional review board-approved (EA2/071/19) retrospective study included 56 patients with HCC recommended for TARE. All patients received tri-phasic CE-CT within 6 weeks prior to an angiographic TARE evaluation study using technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin. Imaging biomarkers representative of tumor extent, morphology, and perfusion, as well as disease-specific clinical parameters, were used to perform data-driven variable selection with backward elimination to generate multivariable linear regression models predictive of HPSF. Results were used to create clinically applicable risk scores for patients scheduled for TARE. Additionally, Cox regression was used to identify independent risk factors for poor overall survival (OS). Results: Mean HPSF was 13.11% ± 7.6% (range: 2.8- 35.97%). Index tumor diameter (p = 0.014) or volume (p = 0.034) in combination with index tumor non-rim arterial phase enhancement (APHE) (p < 0.001) and washout (p < 0.001) were identified as significant non-invasive predictors of HPSF on CE-CT. Specifically, the prediction models revealed that the HPSF increased with index lesion diameter or volume and showed higher HPSF if non-rim APHE was present. In contrast, index tumor washout was associated with decreased HPSF levels. Independent risk factors of poorer OS were radiogenomic venous invasion and ascites at baseline. Conclusion: The featured prediction models can be used for the initial non-invasive estimation of HPSF in patients with HCC before TARE to assist in clinical treatment evaluation while potentially sparing ineligible patients from the angiographic shunt evaluation study.

To measure the expression of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) mRNA in SARS-CoV-2 infection with different infection status and at different stages during infection, we used RT-qP CR to measure the expression of ACE2 mRNA. Measurements were analyzed by two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (RMANOVA). Expression of ACE2 mRNA was downregulated in initial stages of SARS-CoV-2 infection both in the asymptomatic infection (ASY) group and the confirmed cases (CON) group (t=-8.0845, P < 0.0001; t=-8.1904, P < 0.0001, respectively). The expression of ACE2 mRNA in the incubation period of CON group was lower compared with the intinal period of ASY group (F = 6.084, p = 0.016, partialη2 = 0.070). Relative expression of ACE2 mRNA was upregulated at the late stage of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the ASY and CON groups (F = 23.489, p = 0.000, partialη2 = 0.225; F = 46.555, p = 0.000, partialη2 = 0.365, respectively). The relative expression of ACE2 mRNA was down-regulated (mean ± SEM:0.69 ± 0.03) after inoculation with SARSCoV- 2 Spike pseudovirus, and there was a statistical difference (one-way t test, mean diffience =-0.31, 95%CI: -0.37˜-0.24, t=-8.1904, P < 0.0001). The expression of ACE2 mRNA is downregulated in the initial stage of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and then upregulated in the late stage of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The lower expression of ACE2 mRNA during the incubation period can lead to clinical symptoms. Downregulation of ACE2 mRNA was related to the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 S protein and ACE2.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

The comorbidity of autism spectrum disorder and anxiety is common, but the underlying circuitry is poorly understood. Here, Tmem74-/- mice showed autism- and anxiety-like behaviors along with increased excitability of pyramidal neurons (PNs) in the prelimbic cortex (PL), which were reversed by Tmem74 re-expression and chemogenetic inhibition in PNs of the PL. To determine the underlying circuitry, we performed conditional deletion of Tmem74 in the PNs of PL of mice, and we found that alterations in the PL projections to fast-spiking interneurons (FSIs) in the dorsal striatum (dSTR) (PLPNs-dSTRFSIs) mediated the hyperexcitability of FSIs and autism-like behaviors and that alterations in the PL projections to the PNs of the basolateral amygdaloid nucleus (BLA) (PLPNs-BLAPNs) mediated the hyperexcitability of PNs and anxiety-like behaviors. However, the two populations of PNs in the PL had different spatial locations, optogenetic manipulations revealed that alterations in the activity in the PL-dSTR or PL-BLA circuits led to autism- or anxiety-like behaviors, respectively. Collectively, these findings highlight that the hyperactivity of the two populations of PNs in the PL mediates autism and anxiety comorbidity through the PL-dSTR and PL-BLA circuits, which may lead to the development of new therapeutics for the autism and anxiety comorbidity.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the associations between calcium, magnesium, zinc, and copper intakes and the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in US diabetes adults. METHODS: Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2018. Multivariable logistic regression models and restricted cubic spline models were applied to examine the associations between total calcium, magnesium, zinc, and copper intakes and diabetic retinopathy. RESULTS: A total of 3794 adults aged 40 years or older were included. Higher quartile intake of calcium, magnesium, zinc, and copper was associated with a lower occurrence of DR, the multivariate adjusted ORs (95% CI) were 0.57 (0.38-0.86), 0.48 (0.32-0.73), 0.58 (0.39-0.88), and 0.48 (0.30-0.77), respectively. U-shaped dose-response relationships were found between calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper intake, and the risk of DR. CONCLUSION: Higher total calcium, magnesium, zinc, and copper intake were inversely associated with the risk of DR in US diabetes adults.
Functional Connectivity Between Basal Forebrain and Superficial Amygdala Negatively Correlates with Social Fearfulness.

Neuroscience ; 510: 72-81, 2023 Feb 01.
Social anxiety is characterized by an intense fear of evaluation from others and/or withdrawal from social situations. Extreme social anxiety can lead to social anxiety disorder. There remains an urgent need to investigate the neural substrates of subclinical social anxiety for early diagnosis and intervention to reduce the risk to develop social anxiety disorder. Twenty-nine young adults were recruited (10 males/19 females; mean age (SD) = 20.34 (2.29)). Trait-like social anxiety was assessed by Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale. Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used with an emotional face-matching paradigm to probe brain activation in response to emotional stimuli including angry, fearful, and happy faces, with shape-matching as a control condition. Behavioral results showed positive correlations between Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale scores and the reaction time in both angry and fearful conditions. The activation of superficial amygdala and the deactivation of basal forebrain in response to angry condition showed positive correlations with the level of social anxiety. In addition, the resting-state functional connectivity between these two regions was negatively correlated with the level of social anxiety. These results may help to understand the individual difference and corresponding neural underpinnings of social anxiety in the subclinical population, and might provide some insight to develop strategies for early diagnosis and interventions of social anxiety to reduce the risk of deterioration from subclinical to clinical level of social anxiety.

The designed synthesis of chiral luminescent molecules with excellent circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) performance and high quantum yield (QY) levels has attracted great interest but remains very challenging. Herein, we report three pairs of chiral europium-titanium-oxo clusters featuring both modest CPL characteristics and high QY levels (up to 79%), which can be regulated by switching between different ligand substituents.

Inorg Chem ; 2022 Dec 02.
Hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskites (HOIPs) have received continued interest for their structure diversity and potential application in optoelectronic, solar cells, nonlinear optics (NLO), and ferroelectrics. Structural symmetry breaking induced by water molecules in single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformations is beneficial to develop ferroelectrics or second-harmonic generation (SHG) materials. Along this line, a water-containing two-dimensional (2D) double perovskite, (C6H16N2)2AgBiBr8·H2O (1), was prepared. Acentric 1 suffered a twice SCSC transformation when subjected to dehydration and rehydration, where the new centric (C6H16N2)2AgBiBr8 (2) and acentric (C6H16N2)2AgBiBr8·0.5H2O (3) were generated. In contrast to the irreversible transformation from 1 to 2 (symmetry: P21 → Pmna), it is prominent that the reversible conversion of centric 2 to acentric 3 (symmetry: Pmna ↔ P21212). The result validated the effect of guest water on inducing structural transformation and symmetry breaking of 2D perovskites, inspiring further explorations on water-involved 2D materials.

J Comput Soc Sci ; : 1-39, 2022 Nov 27.
For a healthy society to exist, it is crucial for the media to focus on disease-related issues so that more people are widely aware of them and reduce health risks. Recently, deep neural networks have become a popular tool for textual sentiment analysis, which can provide valuable insights and real-time monitoring and analysis regarding health issues. In this paper, as part of an effort to develop an effective model that can elicit public sentiment on COVID-19 news, we propose a novel approach Cov-Att-BiLSTM for sentiment analysis of COVID-19 news headlines using deep neural networks. We integrate attention mechanisms, embedding techniques, and semantic level data labeling into the prediction process to enhance the accuracy. To evaluate the proposed approach, we compared it to several deep and machine learning classifiers using various metrics of categorization efficiency and prediction quality, and the experimental results demonstrate its superiority with 0.931 testing accuracy. Furthermore, 73,138 pandemic-related tweets posted on six global channels were analyzed by the proposed approach, which accurately reflects global coverage of COVID-19 news and vaccination.

To provide low-cost wax and a new methodology for utilizing waste cooking oil (WCO), fatty acid wax based on WCO was synthesized by using epoxidation and hydrolysis treatments, whose properties included melting point, color, hardness, combustion properties, aldehyde content, and microscopic morphology were tested and analyzed. The obtained WCO-based wax contained mixed fatty acids, including palmitic acid and 9,10-dihydroxystearic acid as main constituents, which could form a 3D stable crossing network constructed by large long-rod crystals. The WCO-based wax with high fatty acid content (96.41 wt%) has a high melting point (44-53 °C), light color (Lovibond color code Y = 11.9, R = 2.3), good hardness (needle penetration index = 2.66 mm), long candle burning time (293 min), and low aldehyde content (7.98 × 10-2 µg g-1), which could be a lower-cost alternative of commercial soybean wax (SW) for producing various wax products including candles, crayons, waxworks, etc.

Mass customization is the development of items tailored to specific customers, but produced at low unit cost in high-volume. In this context, hybrid manufacturing (HM) combines fused deposition modeling (FDM) and injection molding (IM) to fabricate a single personalized part with minimum manufacturing cost. In this technique, inserts with different physical features are first FDM-fabricated and then IM-overmolded. This study investigated the effect of hybrid FDM-IM production technology, FDM insert geometry on mechanical properties, and micro-structural evolution of Polylactic Acid (PLA) samples. The findings indicated a comparable tensile properties of FDM-IM samples (68.38 MPa) to IM batch (68.95 MPa), emphasizing the potential of HM in the manufacturing industry. Maximum tensile stress of FDM-IM specimens shows an upward trend due to the increased infill density of preforms. In addition, overmolding interface direction results in a big gap for the maximum tensile strengths between half-length series specimens (12.99 MPa to 19.09 MPa) and half-thickness series specimens (53.83 MPa to 59.92 MPa). Furthermore, four joint configurations resulted in different mechanical performances of finished specimens, in which the female cube sample exhibits the highest tensile stress (68.38 MPa), while the batch with male T joint shows a lower value in maximum tensile strength (59.51 MPa), exhibiting a similar tensile performance with the half-thickness 75% batch without joint configuration. This study lays the groundwork for using HM to produce bespoke and mechanically improved parts over FDM alone.

Purpose: To explore the efficacy, safety, and potential factors influencing efficacy and outcome of pyrotinib-based therapy in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in complex clinical practice. Methods: Real-world data for HER2-positive MBC patients treated with pyrotinib-based regimens from 6 hospitals in Northern Anhui, China, from September 2018 to February 2022, were retrospectively collected, and clinicopathological features, efficacy, prognosis, and safety were analyzed. Potential influencing factors including baseline serum vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) for evaluating pyrotinib's treatment response and outcome were also explored. Results: A total of 169 patients with HER2-positive MBC were enrolled. The objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and median progression-free survival (mPFS) of the overall cohort were 65.1%, 87.6%, and 12.4 months, respectively. Pyrotinib is highly beneficial as different treatment lines and appears to be a feasible strategy both in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs and alone. The mPFS values were 16.5 months, 12.4 months, and 9.3 months in the first, second, and third-or-higher lines of anti-HER2 therapy, respectively (P=0.027). The most common adverse event (AE) was diarrhea (88.2%), and patients with < grade 3 diarrhea achieved a longer mPFS than patients with ≥ grade 3 diarrhea (13.3 months vs 6.9 months, P=0.007). Among the patients with available baseline VEGF-A data, the ORR was 43.5% in patients with a high level of VEGF-A, compared to 81.5% in patients with a low level of VEGF-A (P=0.005). Moreover, patients in the VEGF-A-high group exhibited a shorter mPFS time than those in the VEGF-A-low group (7.8 months vs 19.1 months, P=0.004). Further analysis demonstrated AE of diarrhea and VEGF-A at baseline to be independent prognostic factors for PFS. Conclusion: Pyrotinib-based regimens showed promising efficacy, with manageable tolerance, and AE occurrence of severe diarrhea and baseline level of serum VEGF-A are helpful in predicting the treatment outcome of pyrotinib in HER2-positive MBC.
Bacterial MazF/MazE toxin-antitoxin suppresses lytic propagation of arbitrium-containing phages.

Temperate phages dynamically switch between lysis and lysogeny in their full life cycle. Some Bacillus-infecting phages utilize a quorum-sensing-like intercellular communication system, the "arbitrium," to mediate lysis-lysogeny decisions. However, whether additional factors participate in the arbitrium signaling pathway remains largely elusive. Here, we find that the arbitrium signal induces the expression of a functionally conserved operon downstream of the arbitrium module in SPbeta-like phages. SPbeta yopM and yopR (as well as phi3T phi3T_93 and phi3T_97) in the operon play roles in suppressing phage lytic propagation and promoting lysogeny, respectively. We further focus on phi3T_93 and demonstrate that it directly binds antitoxin MazE in the host MazF/MazE toxin-antitoxin (TA) module and facilitates the activation of MazF's toxicity, which is required for phage suppression. These findings show events regulated by the arbitrium system and shed light on how the interplay between phages and the host TA module affects phage-host co-survival.

Physical properties of materials are mainly determined by valence electron configurations, where different valence shells would induce divergent phenomena. In compounds containing Sc2+ , 3d electron occupancy is expected, the same as other transition metal atoms like Ti3+ . But this situation still awaits experimental verification in inorganic materials. Here, we selected ScS to measure the valence electron density and orbital population of Sc2+ through delicate quantitative convergent-beam electron diffraction. With the absence of 3d orbital features around Sc-atom sites and the nearly bare population of t2g orbital, the unintuitive occupation of 4s orbital in Sc2+ is concluded. It should be the first time to report such a special electron configuration in a transition metal compound, in which 4s rather than 3d orbital is preferred. Our findings reveal the distinct behavior of Sc and probable ways to modulate material properties by controlling electron orbitals.

Xu, Han; Du, Yang; Wang, Qiong; Chen, Lizhi; Huang, Juan; Liu, Yin; Zhou, Chunyang; Du, Biao.
Asian J Psychiatr ; 80: 103394, 2022 Dec 05.
OBJECTIVES: We performed a network meta-analysis (NMA) with up-to-date evidence to compare different anti-inflammatory agents to improve the treatment of bipolar disorder (BD) patients. METHODS: Four databases (i.e., the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, and Embase) were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 1995 and 2022 on the use of anti-inflammatory agents in the treatment of BD. A systematic review and NMA were conducted. RESULTS: Adjunctive N-acetylcysteine (NAC) was superior to placebo for the treatment of BD according to the endpoint scale score (SMD -0.65, 95% confidence interval (CI): - 0.99 to - 0.31), response rate (odds ratio (OR) 3.42, 95% CI: 1.23-9.52), remission rate (OR 4.94, 95% CI: 1.03-41.38) and surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) value of the endpoint scale score (0.84). Adjunctive nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were more favorable than placebo based on the remission rate (OR 3.93, 95% CI: 1.15-13.43) and were significantly more acceptable than other treatments (OR 0.60, 95% CI: 0.36-0.99). Adjunctive coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) was superior to other agents in terms of the response rate (OR 18.85, 95% CI: 2.63-135.00), with a SUCRA value for the response rate of 0.90 and that for the remission rate of 0.71. CONCLUSION: Adjunctive NAC is recommended for the treatment of BD. Adjunctive NSAIDs and CoQ10 are still seen as effective, but more high-quality clinical studies are needed to verify their efficacy. Other anti-inflammatory agents may not be recommended for clinical use at present. All anti-inflammatory agents demonstrated a good safety profile. We call for further research on the combined treatment of BD with different anti-inflammatory agents to be included in future trials.

Head and neck squamous cell cancers (HNSCCs) represent a diverse group of tumors emerging within different mucosal surfaces of the oral cavity, nasopharynx, oropharynx, larynx, and hypopharynx. HNSCCs share common clinical risk factors and genomic features, including smoking, alcohol, age, male sex, aneuploidy, and TP53 mutations. Viral initiating and contributing events are increasingly recognized in HNSCCs. While both Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and human papilloma virus (HPV) are observed, EBV is more frequently associated with nasopharyngeal cancers whereas HPV is associated with oropharyngeal cancers. HNSCCs are associated with high tumor mutational burden and loss of tumor suppressor gene function, especially in TP53 and X-linked genes. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that HNSCCs are subject to immunologic surveillance and immune-induced evolutionary pressure that correlate with negative clinical outcomes. This review will discuss genomic mechanisms related to immune-mediated pressures and propose prognostic and therapeutic implications of detectable immune escape mechanisms that drive tumorigenesis and disease progression.
Can internet use change sport participation behavior among residents? Evidence from the 2017 Chinese General Social Survey.
Zhong, Hua-Mei; Xu, Han-Bing; Guo, En-Kai; Li, Jing; Wang, Zhao-Hong.
Front Public Health ; 10: 837911, 2022.
Purpose: The popularization of the internet has promoted the implementation of China's national fitness strategy and created conditions for Chinese residents to participate in sports. The internet is an essential medium for disseminating sports knowledge, and the use of the internet can change sport participation behaviors. Therefore, the internet can be used to popularize sports knowledge and promote the participation of all people in sports and thus improve the health of the entire population. This study attempts to empirically analyse how the use of the internet changes sport participation behavior. Method: Utilizing data from the 2017 China General Social Survey, a probit model, ivprobit model, and bias-corrected non-parametric percentile bootstrap test were used to analyse the impact of internet use on sport participation behavior. Results: The empirical results show that internet use significantly increased the probability of participation in sports by Chinese residents. Heterogeneity test results showed that internet use was more effective in promoting sport participation in middle-aged groups, groups of older persons, unmarried groups, and groups with a high school education or above. The mediating effect test results showed that internet use influenced residents' participation in sports by promoting social interaction, leisure and entertainment, and learning and recharging. Conclusions: The internet has changed participation in sports; specifically, the use of the internet promotes sport participation. Additionally, internet use has a more obvious impact on improving the sport participation behavior of middle-aged, older, unmarried, and middle- and higher-educated individuals. Internet social interaction, internet entertainment and internet learning are effective channels to encourage Chinese residents to participate in sports and improve their health.

Chin Med ; 17(1): 131, 2022 Nov 24.
BACKGROUND: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe inflammatory disease, underscoring the urgent need for novel treatments. Nauclea officinalis Pierre ex Pitard (Danmu in Chinese, DM) is effective in treating inflammatory respiratory diseases. However, there is still no evidence of its protective effect against ALI. METHODS: Metabolomics was applied to identify the potential biomarkers and pathways in ALI treated with DM. Further, network pharmacology was introduced to predict the key targets of DM against ALI. Then, the potential pathways and key targets were further verified by immunohistochemistry and western blot assays. RESULTS: DM significantly improved lung histopathological characteristics and inflammatory response in LPS-induced ALI. Metabolomics analysis showed that 16 and 19 differential metabolites were identified in plasma and lung tissue, respectively, and most of these metabolites tended to recover after DM treatment. Network pharmacology analysis revealed that the PI3K/Akt pathway may be the main signaling pathway of DM against ALI. The integrated analysis of metabolomics and network pharmacology identified 10 key genes. These genes are closely related to inflammatory response and cell apoptosis of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI in mice. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry and western blot verified that DM could regulate inflammatory response and cell apoptosis by affecting the PI3K/Akt pathway, and expression changes in Bax and Bcl-2 were also triggered. CONCLUSION: This study first integrated metabolomics, network pharmacology and biological verification to investigate the potential mechanism of DM in treating ALI, which is related to the regulation of inflammatory response and cell apoptosis. And the integrated analysis can provide new strategies and ideas for the study of traditional Chinese medicines in the treatment of ALI.
Study on the Microclimate Effect of Water Body Layout Factors on Campus Squares.
Xu, Han; Lin, Xinya; Lin, Ying; Zheng, Guorui; Dong, Jianwen; Wang, Minhua.
Int J Environ Res Public Health ; 19(22)2022 Nov 11.
Quantifying the water layout factors in a campus square helps to lay out water bodies more scientifically and utilize the microclimate effect to alleviate the heat and humidity of campus squares in summer. The West Gate Square of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in China has been used as the primary theoretical model, and the landscape pattern index from landscape ecology has been used to quantify the scale, shape, and dispersion of water bodies. Consider the typical weather, the summer solstice, as the experiment time. The relationship between the water body layout factors and cooling effect, the humidification effect, and the wind speed is clarified from both temporal and spatial perspectives. The data were analyzed with ENVI-met and Arcgis software. Then, the optimum campus square water body layout mode was concluded. The results show that: (1) The scale, dispersion, and shape of the water body has a significant effect on the campus temperature and humidity, while the effect on wind speed is not significant. (2) From the cooling and humidifying effect, the ranking of the regulating ability of the water body layout factors is scale > shape > dispersion; the ranking of the influence range is shape > scale > dispersion. (3) When the boundary of the square is determined, the optimum water body layout mode is that the water body area accounts for 36% of the total square area. The shape of the water body is concentrated and not dispersed square. When the water body layout is determined, the optimum layout mode of the boundary is length:width = 1:2.

Healthy students make good learners. That's the logic behind The Children's Partnership's ALL IN For Health Campaign, an effort to equip educators with the tools they need to connect children and families to health coverage and care. We've heard the impact of health on kids' ability to learn from on-the-ground stories, including teachers who have seen students rack up absences and, as a result, fall behind in school. These are children who don't get the health care they need or whose toothache or poor vision prevent them from concentrating in class. Many of these children don't have health coverage and, thus, are not getting preventive or timely care when they have a health problem.
Health coverage and care are key elements to making sure that students are in class and ready to learn. Students with health coverage are more likely to graduate from high school, go on to college, and contribute more in tax revenue as adults. The understanding that health is a key component to school success is now fueling a new federal initiative. Late last week, the US Department of Education (ED) and the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced Healthy Students, Promising Futures. This campaign offers schools a number of high-impact opportunities to improve the health of their students, from connecting eligible students to health coverage opportunities to promoting healthy practices through physical and health education.
As a result of the Affordable Care Act, millions of children and adults now have health coverage. And now that students have that coverage, schools have the opportunity to move students up the wellness continuum, beyond the point of simply not being ill to being truly well. They can do this by connecting students to preventive care and educating them on healthy habits. ED and HHS recommend delivering health services to students directly in schools, providing support services and case management to at-risk students, and partnering with local hospitals and organizations. And, by promoting healthy habits such as eating well and engaging in physical activity, schools can encourage healthy habits that last a lifetime.
At The Children's Partnership, we share the Administration's commitment and have acted on it through our ALL IN For Health Campaign. To reach as many families as possible, we've enlisted the leadership of the California State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Tom Torlakson, and partners like California School Boards Association, California Parent Teacher Association, and California Head Start Association, among many others, to help connect schools and early learning sites across California to the information and materials they need to help families understand their coverage options and help them enroll. As a result, we've been able to deliver over 7.3 million messages informing families about their health coverage options and how to enroll and connect to care.
We applaud the Obama Administration for highlighting and supporting this high-yield connection between health and education and look forward to seeing what can happen when more schools and members of the health care community partner to help every student in the country thrive.
If you're a school or early learning center in California, use our toolkit to help eligible students and family members enroll in affordable health coverage. And learn more aboutThe Children's Partnership's experience in conducting a statewide campaign that partners health advocates and the education community in order to benefit the children and families they both serve.
With less than two weeks to go before the February 15 Covered California Open Enrollment deadline, ALL IN For Health has ramped up its efforts to reach as many families as possible through schools, early learning and care, and after-school sites.
On Saturday, January 24, we kicked off a 22-day statewide campaign to connect families to coverage. In partnership with Montebello and Natomas Unified School Districts, we hosted Day of Action health coverage information and enrollment events. Over seventy families enrolled in affordable coverage with the help of Certified Enrollment Counselors and even more learned about their health coverage options through Covered California and Medi-Cal. Every family that enrolled helped grow the number of California kids who have the opportunities that a healthy upbringing affords.
At Natomas High School, the Executive Director of Covered California, Peter Lee, stopped by to relay his enthusiasm that schools are spreading the word that health coverage is now within reach.
In Montebello, local Assemblymember Cristina Garcia stopped by to show her commitment to expanding health coverage in her community.
And our partners at LA Care presented lively educational skits on how to take advantage of health coverage.
With the February 15 deadline fast approaching, now is the time to spread the word about applying for health coverage. Schools across California know that healthy kids make better learners. That is why they are taking action for the health of their students by sending out eBlasts, making robocalls, and distributing enrollment information. And with several more events planned, you can even get out and learn more yourself with the help of Certified Enrollment Counselors.

Q: Customized channel wifi direct Can anyone tell me, is there any option to customize wifi direct channels? I need to customize it not only between ch1, ch6 and ch11, but also in another channels selected by me. How can I do that?

A: In order to change the channel of the Wifi Direct of your device you need to do the following:
1- Root your phone
2- Download any File manager App: Such as ES File Explorer
3- On ES File Explorer, go to Tools, then turn ON the Root Explorer and click on it then mount RW
4- Using ES File Explorer, go to Device -> Data -> Misc -> Wifi -> p2p_supplicant.conf and change the p2p_oper_channel to whatever channel you want.
5- Turn OFF the Wifi of your phone then turn it ON in order for the change to take place.
You should note that in order for the Wifi direct channel to be the one you did set, the phone needs not to be connected to any Access point when the wifi direct connection starts. Also, usually when phone A connects to phone B via wifi direct, the connection is operating on phone B's channel.
Hope this helps
