- Background The health risks associated with moderate alcohol consumption continue to be debated. Small amounts of alcohol might lower the risk of some health outcomes but increase the risk of others, suggesting that the overall risk depends, in part, on background disease rates, which vary by region, age, sex, and year. Methods For this analysis, we constructed burden-weighted dose-response relative risk curves across 22 health outcomes to estimate the theoretical minimum risk exposure level (TMREL) and non-drinker equivalence (NDE), the consumption level at which the health risk is equivalent to that of a non-drinker, using disease rates from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2020 for 21 regions, including 204 countries and territories, by 5-year age group, sex, and year for individuals aged 15-95 years and older from 1990 to 2020. Based on the NDE, we quantified the population consuming harmful amounts of alcohol. Findings The burden-weighted relative risk curves for alcohol use varied by region and age. Among individuals aged 15-39 years in 2020, the TMREL varied between 0 (95% uncertainty interval 0-0) and 0.603 (0.400-1.00) standard drinks per day, and the NDE varied between 0.002 (0-0) and 1.75 (0.698-4.30) standard drinks per day. Among individuals aged 40 years and older, the burden-weighted relative risk curve was J-shaped for all regions, with a 2020 TMREL that ranged from 0.114 (0-0.403) to 1.87 (0.500-3.30) standard drinks per day and an NDE that ranged between 0.193 (0-0.900) and 6.94 (3.40-8.30) standard drinks per day. Among individuals consuming harmful amounts of alcohol in 2020, 59.1% (54.3-65.4) were aged 15-39 years and 76.9% (7.0-81.3) were male. Interpretation There is strong evidence to support recommendations on alcohol consumption varying by age and location. Stronger interventions, particularly those tailored towards younger individuals, are needed to reduce the substantial global health loss attributable to alcohol. Copyright (C) 2022 The Author(s).

- W.E. Roth (1952) proved that the matrix equation AX - XB = C has a solution if and only if the matrices [Graphics] and [Graphics] are similar. A. Dmytryshyn and B. Kagstrom (2015) extended Roth's criterion to systems of matrix equations A(i)X(i')M(i) - (NiXi"Bi)-B-sigma i = Ci (i = 1,..., s) with unknown matrices X1,, X-t, in which every X-sigma is X, X-T, or X*. We extend their criterion to systems of complex matrix equations that include the complex conjugation of unknown matrices. We also prove an analogous criterion for systems of quaternion matrix equations. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

- Activated carbons were prepared from sodium lignosulfonate by phosphoric acid activation at carbonization temperatures of 400-1000 degrees C. The resulting materials were characterized with regard to their surface area, pore volume, pore size distribution, distribution of surface groups and ability to adsorb copper ions. Activated carbons were characterized by nitrogen adsorption, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermal gravimetric analyses. The results indicate that with increasing carbonization temperature, the surface area decreased from 770 m(2)/g at 400 degrees C to 180 m(2)/g at 700 degrees C and increased at higher temperatures to 1370 m(2)/g at 1000 degrees C. The phosphorus content peaked at 11% for carbon obtained by carbonization at 800 degrees C. Potentiometric titration revealed the acidic character of all the phosphoric acid-activated carbons, which were found to have total concentrations of surface groups of up to 3.3 mmol/g. The carbons showed a high adsorption capacity for copper ions even at pH values as low as 2.
