Prevention of Fraud with the Values of Suport Approach
14 Jun 2022
TL;DR: The Sufism value approach as discussed by the authors emphasizes the importance of honesty, integrity, responsibility and cooperation in business and can help prevent fraud by encouraging people to behave honestly and responsibly in all situations.
Nanoplastics Penetrate Human Bronchial Smooth Muscle and Small Airway Epithelial Cells and Affect Mitochondrial Metabolism
Ewa Winiarska,Monika Chaszczewska-Markowska,Daniel Ghete,Marek Jutel,Magdalena Zemelka-Wiącek +4 more
TL;DR: 25 and 50 nm NPs were shown to penetrate SAEC, along with healthy and diseased BSMC, and they impaired bioenergetics and induce mitochondrial dysfunction compared to cells not treated with NPs, including changes in oxygen consumption rate and extracellular acidification rate.

Microplastics in bivalves cultured for human consumption.
TL;DR: The presence of marine microplastics in seafood could pose a threat to food safety, however, due to the complexity of estimating microplastic toxicity, estimations of the potential risks for human health posed by microplastically in food stuffs is not (yet) possible.
