Key outcome summaries of the scientific programme of the IRPA15 congress.

This special issue of JRP includes a selection of research papers and review articles presented at the 15th Congress of the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA15) as chosen by the scientific committee. All invited journal contributions are suitably expanded beyond the initial conference presentations to meet the criteria for a full journal article and include (a) presentation within a comprehensive radiological protection context and (b) additional data/interpretation. Published contributions address a wide spectrum of scientific topics and concepts to further develop the radiation protection (RP) system. They are based on scientific evidence and available experience in a wide spectrum of applications of the protection system. The IRPA is the international voice of the RP profession. It promotes excellence in RP by providing benchmarks of good practice, enhancing professional competence, and encourages the application of the highest standards of professional conduct, skills and knowledge for the benefit of individuals and society. Within the overarching theme of the conference 'Bridging RP Culture and Science-Widening Public Empathy' IRPA15 provided an invaluable opportunity to discuss and strengthen the relations between RP culture and science, and share developing scientific knowledge and related experience in RP among members of the scientific community, between representatives of key international organizations, including ICRP, IAEA, WHO, and NEA but also with the public. Some discussions focused on the rationale of available RP programmes and priorities, with an opportunity to identify and further develop key scientific issues of the current RP system as well as key processes for the interaction between members of the scientific community and society. The scientific programme of IRPA15 included eight topics and four thematic areas. The topical areas were: Underpinning Science; Dosimetry and Measurement; the System of Protection; Standards and Regulation; Practical Implementation-Medical Sector, as well as Industry and Research; Emergency Preparedness and Response; Existing Exposures and Non-ionizing Radiation. The thematic areas addressed were: Ethics; Communication and Public Understanding; RP Culture; Human Capital and Competency.

[The history and development of the Zeitschrift für Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie - Review and outlook on the occasion of its 45th anniversary]. / Die Gründungsgeschichte und Entwicklung der Zeitschrift für Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie und Psychiatrie ­ Rückblick und Ausblick aus Anlass ihres 45-jährigen Bestehens.

The history and development of the Zeitschrift für Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie - Review and outlook on the occasion of its 45th anniversary Abstract. This article is based on archived documents and provides an overview of the founding of the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy and its precursor, the Yearbook of Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions. The first volume of this journal appeared in 1973, 5 years after child and adolescent psychiatry had become an independent specialty in the Federal Republic of Germany. The founders of the journal and its first Editors-in-Chief were Hermann Stutte (1909-1982) and Hubert Harbauer (1019-1980). The Co-Editors and later Editors-in-Chief were Helmut Remschmidt and Martin Schmidt, who continued to edit the journal for the next 30 years. The Director of the publishing company at that time (Hans Huber, Bern), Walter Jäger (1916-2001), was a major factor in nurturing the journal. In 1975, he received an honorary doctorate from the Medical Faculty of the Philipps University of Marburg. Since the beginning, the journal has incorporated progressive developments and can be considered the leading organ in German-language child and adolescent psychiatry. With a current impact factor of 1.206, it holds rank 100 on the list of 142 international psychiatric journals.

Research on the Consumption Trend, Nutritional Value, Biological Activity Evaluation, and Sensory Properties of Mini Fruits and Vegetables.

Mini fruits and vegetables (MFV) are pocket fruits and vegetables whose shape and volume are significantly smaller than those widely sold and well-known normal fruits and vegetables (NFV) on the market. Through the research on the market status and consumption trends of MFV, it was found that MFV have recently become a new market favorite. However, compared with NFV, there was found to be no relevant data on sensory quality, nutritional value, safety, etc. of MFV; this could indicate low consumer awareness of MFV, which in turn affects their planting and sales choices, as well as the market scale remaining small. In this context, six MFV with high degree of marketization were selected and compared with their corresponding NFV to evaluate the nutritional value, biological activity, and sensory properties. The results showed the nutritional value of MFV to be mainly related to their species. The nutritional value of MFV derived from immature, tender vegetables was generally lower than that of mature NFV. For example, the content of zeaxanthin in normal maize was 0.43 mg/kg, which was about 2.87 times that of mini maize (0.15 mg/kg). For newly cultivated mini varieties, their nutritional value often had different trends and rules compared with NFV. The nutritional value obtained by consuming MFV is not equal to that obtained by consuming the corresponding NFV of the same weight.

Current status of food waste generation and management in China.

The current status of FW generation, including its characteristics, management, and current challenges in China, were analyzed, and further suggestions were made with regards to improvement. About 19.50% of the FW generated could be treated under the current designs for treatment capacity in China. FW characteristics show great variability in different economic regions in China, where both treatment efficiency and FW management are poor. Combined pretreatment and three-phase separation is the most used pretreatment method, and of the current FW pilot projects, anaerobic digestion is the most prevalent, accounting for 76.1% of all projects. Significant regional characteristics have been identified regarding FW generation and the treatment capacity for FW processing. Possible factors influencing FW management in China were also discussed. Finally, detailed suggestions are given for further development of FW treatment capacity, particularly regarding potential technical routes and management measures.
