Authors: Gramz Mohamed , Ouiaboub Lahcen , Mettouchi Mehdi , Azagane Moulay Hicham , Meziane Hanane , El Bezzari Lamiae
Published: October 2024

Morocco's water situation is unique, with arid climatic zones dominating most of the country. This means that water resources need to be managed equitably, and decisions need to be taken to ensure the sustainability of this natural potential, which is essential for life in general. This is the case for the management of water scarcity, especially rainwater, by hydraulic works in the central plateau in north-west Morocco, with a view to combating water stress, particularly since climate change is having an impact on rainfall, with a succession of drought years in our study area. The aim of this research is to highlight the role of the Ain Kwachia dam located on the Khellata river in terms of the storage of surface water from rainfall, by quantifying the surface area occupied by its water using satellite images obtained from remote sensing, and mapping the evolution of the dam using a GIS geographic information system over the period from 2013 to 2023. The results show that this structure has made it possible to store rainwater, with an increase of 65.22% in 2022 and 43.80% in 2023.

Influenza virus is a highly contagious respiratory pathogen causing between 9.4 and 41 million infections per year in the United States in the last decade. Annual vaccination is recommended by the World Health Organization, with the goal to reduce influenza severity and transmission. Ag-specific single B cell sequencing methodologies have opened up new avenues into the dissection of the Ab response to influenza virus. The improvement of these methodologies is pivotal to reduce the associated costs and optimize the operational workflow and throughput, especially in the context of multiple samples. In this study, PBMCs and serum samples were collected longitudinally from eight influenza vaccinees either vaccinated yearly for four consecutive influenza seasons or once for one season. Following the serological and B cell profiling of their polyclonal Ab response to a panel of historical, recent, and next-generation influenza vaccine hemagglutinin (HA) and virus strains, a single multiplexed Ag-specific single B cell sequencing run allowed to capture HA-specific memory B cells that were analyzed for preferential Ig H chain/L chain pairing, isotype/subclass usage, and the presence of public BCR clonotypes across participants. Binding and functional profiles of representative private and public clonotypes confirmed their HA specificity, and their overall binding and functional activity were consistent with those observed at the polyclonal level. Collectively, this high-resolution and multiplexed Ab repertoire analysis demonstrated the validity of this optimized methodology in capturing Ag-specific BCR clonotypes, even in the context of a rare B cell population, such as in the case of the peripheral Ag-specific memory B cells.

The doctor in front of ‘Redemptor Hominis'
Authors: De Benedetto Francesco
Published: October 2024

Not possessing or claiming any other references to penetrate the meaning of ‘Redemptor hominis’ other than those strictly inherent to his professional cultum, the doctor, who, without being a theologian or philosopher or moralist, nevertheless wishes to understand the encyclical and set it down in the reality of his life, cannot renounce designing his own key to interpretation, less pretentious or ambitious but perhaps no less valid than the others to provide an original interpretation of the profound message addressed by the Pontiff to the men of our time.
The ethics of research
Authors: Callieri Bruno
Published: October 2024

The ethical problem of research proposes itself beyond any theoretical radicalisation that wants to conclude in a self-sufficient positive science or in a denial of any scientific reality. While man's need to place himself ethically (with a transcendence of himself and the reality that surrounds him) remains alive, the impossibility of conferring theoretical value on a naive ethics based on analogical discourses aimed at supporting, directing and interpreting scientific experience is critically declared.
Ethical issues in clinical trials
Authors: Marmont Alberto
Published: October 2024

Clinical experimentation in all its aspects is an obligatory part of the ideal scope of the subject matter dealt with at the conference in Genoa. Of the two fundamental directives, one on clinical pharmacology and the other on the ethics that governs its execution, it is clear that the latter will be given maximum development here; while noting that there is no dualism between the applied discipline and the theoretical-moral approach, but rather that tout se tient, from the chemical-pharmacological discovery of the new remedy to the decision to use it in man and the clinical practice of application.

Current Status and Challenges of Interventional Therapy for Diagnosis and Treatment of Arrhythmia in China
Authors: Jiang Jiang , Zhang Shu
Published: October 2024

There are a large number of arrhythmia patients in China, and the field of interventional therapy for the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmia has developed rapidly and made remarkable achievements. It is currently in a steady growth trend. In 2021, a total of 99,306 cases of pacemaker, 6547 cases of implantable cardioverter defibrillator, 5333 cases of cardiac resynchronization therapy, and 210,609 cases of catheter ablation were registered in the direct reporting system of arrhythmia interventional therapy information network, all of which increased significantly relative to those in 2020. However, there remains a considerable gap when in comparison with advanced countries. Therefore, there is an urgent need to widely implement and standardize advanced arrhythmia diagnosis and treatment techniques. In the future, it is vital to improve the training and development of arrhythmia physicians and teams, advance graded diagnosis and treatment, and foster international cooperation. In addition, there is a growing demand for increased clinical research to guide practical applications and the promotion of new technologies and devices for arrhythmia diagnosis and treatment.

Authors: Bigosiński Adam Konrad
Published: October 2024

Organ building and pipe organs in Poznań and Greater Poland is a subject that is still waiting for thorough investigation. This article investigates the musical history of Poznań and presents one of the city’s greatest organ builders: Józef Gryszkiewicz. Gryszkiewicz made nearly a hundred instruments—around half of which have survived until the present day. Additionally, he renovated several dozen organs, prepared expert opinions, assessed the work of other organ builders, translocated instruments, and educated generations of apprentices. So far, little has been known about his life and work, including even the most important facts of his life. The article focuses on three fundamental aspects: it presents his biography, describes the nature and the unique character of his trade, and provides a list of his works.

Tadeusza Esmana wspomnienia poznańskie. „Śródka. Moje dzieciństwo i młodość”, cz. 1: Dom, podwórko i rodzice
Authors: Bauman Szymon , Esman Janusz
Published: October 2024

Tadeusz Esman wrote his memoir in the years 1976–1985, in order to tell his children more about his early years. The first part of his work discusses his childhood and youth in the Poznań neighborhood of Śródka, where he was born in 1903 and lived until his move to Bydgoszcz in 1927. His stories revolve around three topics: his home, his backyard, and his parents. All these three aspects reflect the daily lives of people living in Śródka at the time—where and how they lived and worked, their surroundings, animals, and neighbors. Tadeusz was raised in a family of tradespeople. His father was a master butcher, and his mother ran a butchery near their house. The author’s language is very vivid, he shares impressions from his childhood, recounts numerous anecdotes from his family and social life in the Śródka market area, and describes his relationship with his parents.
Współzamieszkiwanie. O wykorzystaniu wielostronnego studium przypadku w metodologii badań migracyjnych
Authors: Łuczaj Kamil
Published: October 2024

The primary objective of this paper is to address the methodology employed in qualitative migration research. It involves a theoretical analysis of the methodological challenges associated with a case study design, necessitating the collection of accounts from multiple individuals participating in the studied process or event. The second aim is to empirically illustrate these considerations through a study focusing on the relationship between Polish hosts and Ukrainian guests (2022–23). The gathered empirical material indicates the effectiveness of applying the technique of cross stories (récits croisés) derived from biographical research, along with the ontological-epistemological difficulties encountered. The paper does not aim to offer a comprehensive analysis of the cohabitation phenomenon. Instead, it contributes to the field by explicitly citing significant portions of raw material and elucidating their context. Its impact on migration studies lies in demonstrating, from a methodological perspective, that the simultaneous examination of various viewpoints and definitions of situations allows researchers to leverage the full potential of qualitative research. Through cross stories, a more profound understanding of interviewees’ perspectives on the world emerges, enabling researchers, when necessary, to question common-sense meanings of certain categories and highlight gaps in biographical accounts.

The author examines the dynamically changing elements of the socio-linguistic landscape in a Warsaw small suburban town after the outbreak of a full-scale war in Ukraine. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, observations, interviews and volunteering activities, the author analyses the linguistic and extra-linguistic signs of the presence of refugees from Ukraine and various forms of support.
The Project of Circassian Return to the Caucasus in the Agenda of Circassian Organisations in Russia and the Diaspora
Authors: Ivanov Ye. A.
Published: October 2024

This study examines the evolution of the Circassian ethno-national movement, one of the most prominent in Russia, and its connection to the Adyghe diaspora communities in Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Israel, Western Europe, and the United States. In the 1990s, Circassian nationalists proposed the creation of a unified Circassia, either as part of Russia or as an independent state. However, these radical proposals were largely rejected by moderate Adyghe. In response, Circassian activists sought a unifying project for the Adyghe both within Russia and across the diaspora, leading to the promotion of repatriation to the North Caucasus. This agenda, which had long been central to the Circassian movement, gained new importance following the failure to establish a united Circassia and the onset of the Syrian crisis, which forced many Circassians to flee. The study analyzes how Circassian organizations in Russia and abroad have utilized the repatriation initiative to address their challenges, highlighting a shift in the movement. Among Russian Adyghe, radicalism is declining, with growing interest in constructive dialogue with the state in exchange for support in managed resettlement. In contrast, Turkish Circassian organizations do not advocate for repatriation, as it could undermine the Circassian movement in Turkey.
Digital Actors and Digital Platforms in the System of International Relations: Between Complex Interdependence and Online Sovereignty
Authors: Kanevskiy P. S. , Petrov K. Y.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes deep changes in international relations that are taking place in the context of the increasing role of digital actors and platforms in shaping the global agenda. The emergence of the Internet was a turning point in the development of the entire system of global communications. The Internet changed the way information is spread and public opinion is shaped, while digital platforms became a new factor of globalization. At the same time, as the authors demonstrate, the original nature of the Internet, which was viewed by the United States and the West as an integral part and technology of the liberal order, in the end started to reflect the increasing confrontation between states, and became a space for the spread of political conflicts, stereotypes and information wars. In addition, new digital oligopolies began to shape the digital space based on their corporate interests, prioritizing their market share rather than the quality of online discussions and the strengthening of the civic democratic culture. The weaponization and securitization of the Internet is a logical continuation of the crisis of the global liberal order. The complex interdependence, which was strengthened by digital actors and digital platforms, is increasingly being replaced by the idea of digital sovereignty. States aim to decouple from a single communicative space and to create norms protecting them and their citizens from the excessive influence of the Big Tech. The authors conclude that we are experiencing the sunset of the era of information openness. Depoliticization of the Internet is impossible without reducing international tension and reviving the spirit of rationalism in world politics. Only through getting back to reason can we return to the Internet the role of a creative, rather than destructive technology.

The Niah Caves are an important archaeological site that supports a resident population and is host to a large and growing number of visitors. Close monitoring, strict regulations, and careful management will be required in the long term to avoid pressures and threats from urban expansion, plantations, resource use, village growth, excessive tourist infrastructure and use, and service development. However, the absence of a formally written conservation and management plan prior to 2022 has left the heritage conservation and management of the Niah Cave site insufficient in addressing its management challenges. Hence, this paper analyses the conservation and management plan for the site through systematic observation, site analysis, and stakeholder interviews. The research focuses on documentation and recording, assessing the site’s importance, identifying all factors and issues, defining management policy, selecting management strategies, and monitoring and reviewing the plans for the site. The study aims to contribute to the conservation and preservation of the Niah Caves as a national park in Sarawak. Emphasis is placed on prioritising the preservation and management of archaeological sites and advocating for comprehensive planning and sustainable management practices for the conservation of cultural heritage.
THE ROLE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP ORIENTATION IN THE EFFECT OF DIGITAL MARKETING THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA ON THE PERFORMANCE OF MICRO, SMALL, AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (MSMEs) IN INDONESIA

This research contributes to formulating policies and programs related to MSMEs, especially digital marketing in Indonesia. This research examines the role of entrepreneurial orientation on the influence of digital marketing via social media on MSMEs in Indonesia. Although several studies have examined the relationship between the use of social media (Technology Acceptance Model, TAM) and company business performance, the existence of inconsistencies in previous research results opens up obstacles for this research to develop theory and strengthen weaknesses. Previous research, as well as complementing the growing digital marketing literature. This research involved 500 MSME owners in Indonesia, where an online survey of MSME owners was the data collection instrument. The data has been analysed using SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) via AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structure) software. Results showed that perceived ease of use positively affected attitudes towards using social media. The benefits of using social media and attitudes towards using social media have a positive effect on attitudes towards using social media. The use of social media has a positive impact on the performance of MSMEs. Then, entrepreneurial orientation has a positive effect on the performance of MSMEs. Furthermore, entrepreneurial orientation moderates the influence of social media use on MSME's performance, meaning that entrepreneurial orientation strengthens the influence of social media use on MSME's performance. The research implication is that it contributes to the TAM literature, where all tests support the TAM theory. Future research is encouraged to replicate the moderation model developed in this study as applicable to other countries and regions for better generalisation. Future research can add control variables such as age, education, and experience to the relationship between social media use and MSME performance. From a practical point of view, the government needs to intervene to improve the business performance of MSMEs. One of them is providing reliable and affordable internet connectivity, equal distribution of internet infrastructure, especially in rural and remote areas, providing digital literacy and training among business owners and employees. Then, MSME players must be oriented towards entrepreneurship by producing innovative new products and more modern marketing innovations digitally through social media.
ECONOMIC IMPACT ON PALM OIL STOCK RETURNS IN MALAYSIA, SINGAPORE, AND INDONESIA: A NARDL MODEL ANALYSIS
Authors:   Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, BEH WOAN-LIN , TOK HUI-MEI ,   Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman
Published: October 2024

The study examines the relationship between Malaysia’s economic conditions and the returns on palm oil stocks in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore. The non-linear autoregressive distributed lag framework was used to analyse the asymmetric impact of Malaysian macroeconomic factors on palm oil stock returns in each country. The findings reveal that the exchange, inflation, and unemployment rates, as well as gold and crude oil prices, strongly influence the long-term returns of palm oil stock. Specifically, unfavourable changes in crude oil prices significantly impact palm oil stock returns. Other key variables also show significant associations with palm oil stock returns, both positively and negatively. In conclusion, investors and stakeholders should take Malaysia’s general economic situation into account when developing investment plans, in addition to fluctuations in the returns on palm oil stocks.
EXPLORING FRUGIVOROUS BIRDS’ ABILITY TO ADAPT TO ARTIFICIAL FRUIT COLOURS
Authors:   Universiti Sains Malaysia, TSIN KAY LIM , N ROSELY FADZLY ,   Universiti Sains Malaysia
Published: October 2024

Alteration of fruit traits for domestication purposes is expanding globally, yet its impact on the adaptability of frugivores, especially birds, remains unclear. Fruit traits have been known to evolve in response to interaction with frugivores. However, technology-driven alterations to fruit traits deviate from these natural processes. We investigated the influence of changing natural fruit colour on the behaviour of birds via frugivory rate on natural and alternative fruit colours. Modelling clay was used to create three different colours of fake fruits (natural, red, and blue) by mimicking the fleshy fruit of Ficus microcarpa L.f., 1782 and the field experiment was conducted in EcoHub, Universiti Sains Malaysia. We measured the spectral reflectance of each fruit colour and accessed their conspicuousness level through the avian eye model. We also analysed the peck marks on the fruits. A statistically significant result showed that birds’ preference was the highest for natural fruit colour. Our findings reflect the inadaptability of frugivorous birds to changes in natural fruit colour and we believe that exercising caution when pursuing agricultural advancements is essential to prevent unintended disruptions to ecosystems.

La adicción a las redes sociales se ha convertido en un problema cada vez más frecuente que afecta a personas de diversas edades. Este fenómeno puede interferir significativamente en las actividades cotidianas, en el bienestar emocional de los usuarios y en sus relaciones interpersonales. Además, la necesidad de estar conectados de manera permanente puede derivar en problemas de salud mental. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar si existe relación entre la adicción a las redes sociales y los trastornos alimentarios en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios peruanos. Se desarrolló un estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, correlacional y transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por 297 estudiantes seleccionados mediante un muestreo probabilístico a quienes se les administró el Cuestionario de Adicción a Redes Sociales (ARS) y el Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), instrumentos con adecuadas propiedades métricas. Los resultados preliminares muestran que el nivel predominante de adicción a las redes sociales fue bajo, mientras que la mayoría de los estudiantes no mostraban riesgo de desarrollar trastornos alimentarios. Además, se determinó que el coeficiente de correlación rho de Spearman entre ambas variables fue de 0.295 y el p-valor fue inferior al nivel de significancia (p < 0.05). Se concluyó que existe una relación significativa entre la adicción a las redes sociales y los trastornos alimentarios en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios peruanos. Esto quiere decir que, a medida que aumenta el nivel de adicción a las redes sociales, también se observa un incremento en la prevalencia o gravedad de los trastornos alimentarios.
A solidão da Lésbica juvenil em As traças, de Cassandra Rios
Authors: Azevedo Maria da Glória de Castro
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo é um recorte da minha tese de doutoramento Intitulada Leitura, literatura e ensino: a Literatura de temática lésbica como um território assombrado. Ele faz uma análise acerca da sexualidade, solidão e conflitos mentais pelos quais passam a jovem personagem lésbica no romance As traças, de Cassandra Rios. Partindo-se do princípio de que a literatura reproduz valores da heteronormatividade, o estudo de personagens lésbicas representa uma ranhura no pensamento heterocompulsório, ao evidenciar a existência de outros corpos e desejos, bem como ao discutir sobre as angústias que marcam a jovem lésbica diante de uma sexualidade considerada contraventora.

Da língua misógina do estupro ao corpo-resistência na literatura brasileira
Authors: Gomes Carlos Magno
Published: October 2024

Neste estudo, defendemos o imaginário do assédio/estupro como próprio de uma língua misógina, composta por códigos que relativizam a violência sexual contra a mulher. Na literatura brasileira, observamos uma resistência a esse monolinguismo machista em obras que propõem o “corpo regenerado” em oposição ao “corpo estuprado”. Como corpus, analisaremos as estratégias estéticas de resistência do conto “Mulher cobra” (2018), de Sheila Smanioto, e dos romances Eu me possuo (2016), de Stela Florence, e Vista chinesa (2021), de Tatiana Salem Levy. Metodologicamente, exploramos o conceito de “corpo-território”, conforme Verónica Gago (2020), e a proposta de “carta-testemunho”, de Eurídice Figueiredo (2021), para obras que explicitam as diferentes etapas do estupro por meio do corpo abandonado, enlutado e/ou regenerado. Como resultado, identificamos uma literatura contra o silenciamento do estupro através de uma proposta estético-ideológica: o corpo-resistência.
Beyond the screen: a comparative study of the student's perception of online education effectiveness in pre- and post-pandemic times
Authors: Qureshi Bushra , Janjua Najmul Sehr , Noor Mehnaz , Habib Nazia
Published: October 2024

This research was carried out to compare the effectiveness of online education in pre- and post-pandemic periods as perceived by the students of higher education institutions in developing countries facing financial and technological limitations. For this purpose, time-lagged data from 288 students of higher education institutions were collected and analysed in SPSS version 26 using the paired sample t-test for differences. Using adapted questionnaires, the effectiveness of online education was assessed in terms of blended learning, goal setting, interaction, time management, self-evaluation, learning environment, skills to use online learning tools, quality of learning technologies, and learning motivation. Results indicate that students' perception significantly differs during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period, compared to all dimensions of online education. It was found that the students, teachers, and institutions have acquired the requisite knowledge, skills, and technology during the pandemic. Therefore, the usefulness of online education has improved in the post-pandemic period. These results significantly affect all stakeholders, including students, teachers, researchers, institutions, and policymakers. The study suggests continuing blended learning systems in higher education institutions to ensure extended access to equitable education and the sustainability of online learning practices.

Esta revisão narrativa tem como objetivo abordar as malformações vasculares intestinais quanto suas origens embriológicas, desafios para diagnóstico, tratamento e prognóstico. Foram consultadas bases de dados eletrônicas como PubMED, SciELO, Science Direct e jornais médicos. Os artigos incluídos foram pesquisados em português e inglês, com limitação de 40 anos em relação ao ano de publicação. A clínica que acompanha uma malformação à nível intestinal é ampla, mas o sangramento retal está presente em boa parte dos casos. A comorbidade é confundida com outras doenças que também causam sangramento, portanto a investigação deve ser sempre minuciosa. O tratamento deve ser definido com cautela, levando em consideração a opinião do paciente e sua história clínica.

The use of digital tools (DT) and autonomous learning (AL) of secondary school students was determined, and differences by sex were explored. The sample consisted of 150 subjects (N 244). The strategy was quantitative, descriptive, correlational and comparative. The survey was used, and the questionnaire (Lozano, 2017) was used to measure the use of DTs. It is made up of 3 components (Technological-DTT, Informational-DTI and Communicative-CDT). The correlation inference was made with the Test-Spearman. The U-Mann-Whitney test was used for contrast by sex. High uses of the DT and its three components prevailed, which converged with an AL that reflected the achievement of the goals. No differences were identified by sex. The bivariate correlations between the dimensions of the DT variable and the AL yielded a value of 0.60. This confirms what was found in the contingency table, therefore higher levels of DT use are accompanied by higher levels of autonomous learning. The dimensions of the DTs also exhibit direct and significant relationships. It is statistically demonstrated that the levels of technological, informational and communicational DT are related to the highest levels of autonomous learning achievement of the students. In this sense, it would be prudent to promote through training the increase of DT levels so that this translates into better levels of LA.

Se identificaron los niveles de las Inteligencia Emocional y se relacionó la IE con el rendimiento académico en estudiantes de educación religiosa y pastoral en Ecuador. La población fueron 1200 estudiantes adultos varones. El muestreo probabilístico aleatorio que contempló a 292 sujetos. La IE se exploró el Cuestionario TMMS-24, compuesto por tres dimensiones. Se calcularon puntajes y el nivel de IE. El RE se basó en los registros. Fue empleado en software Jamovi. Se calcularon frecuencias y porcentajes por niveles. La correlación se basó en el Test-Spearman. Los niveles de IE resultaron ser mayoritariamente adecuados, siendo esto coincidente con lo reportado en la literatura; lo que valida el fundamento transcultural de este test, y en este sentido, se asume que su empleo puede ser un factor que amplíe los diagnósticos de la IE en la institución. La indagación por dimensiones reveló también niveles adecuados para los componentes de AE, CE y RpE. Se identificó una relación directa entre la IE y el RE, lo que destaca la importancia de diagnosticar y precisar los niveles de IE. Se recomienda realizar un monitoreo permanente de la IE puesto que esta ha sido señalada como un factor que ayuda a predecir el RE. Nuevas perspectivas de trabajo se abren en cuanto a la realización de investigaciones donde se integren exploraciones de la ansiedad, el estrés, la IE y el Burnout académico, y su influencia causal sobre el RE.

Published: October 2024

This work aims to paper silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the green synthesis method, considered a low-cost and environmentally friendly method, and to study the structural properties of these nanoparticles by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements. The results of XRD show that the AgNPs are polycrystalline in the dominant direction (122) (111), (200) (220) (311). By studying the surface morphology, the AFM results showed that the average particle size of the AgNPs is (6.73 nm). In contrast, the SEM results showed that the AgNPs have a spherical shape, and the average particle size is (52.532 nm). The chemical signature of AgNPs was known through FTIR measurement and was found to consist of a group of organic compounds. Through biological application, AgNPs were found to be effective in killing Escherichia coli, which is usually present in contaminated water and infects the intestines of humans and animals. That allows the AgNPs to effectively reduce many human diseases caused by these types of bacteria.
Preparation and characterization of Epoxy/TiO2 thin films for Anti-UVB coating
Authors: Mohammed Ali Hayder
Published: October 2024

Thin films of pure epoxy and Epoxy/TiO2 were successfully prepared using the spin coating method. The epoxy was doped with different weight ratios of TiO2 nanoparticles for the purpose of studying the effect of increasing its percentage on the properties of epoxy thin films. The surface topography of the prepared films was studied using an atomic force microscope (AFM), which showed that the surfaces of the samples became rougher with an increase in the doping of TiO2 nanoparticles. The functional groups were measured using a Fourier infrared spectrometer (FTIR), which showed the presence of TiO2 bonds in the epoxy matrix at wave numbers 400 and 862 cm-1. Optical measurements for absorbance, transmittance, and reflectivity showed a clear effect of TiO2 nanoparticles on the optical properties of the prepared samples through high absorbance for ultraviolet ray’s B (UVB) and low absorbance for visible light. Reflectivity decreases at the wavelengths of UVB and increases at the wavelengths of visible light with an increasing doping ratio. This makes these thin films candidates for use in anti-UVB coatings.

Through this research, the effect of doping with zinc ions on the structural and optical properties of copper oxide particles doped with zinc at certain weight percentages was study using Radiofrequency plasma deposition technology. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses and field emission scanning electron microscopy were used to ascertain the materials' characteristics. Ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy of pure and doped thin films was also perform to calculate the band gap and electrical conductivity It was discovered using the XRD readings that the pure copper particles saturated with zinc had a crystalline size.  It changes as Zn concentration rises and is influenced by the CuO lattice's strain and dislocation density. The thin film samples have structures resembling irregular and cubic grains, as demonstrated by the FE-SEM pictures. After doping with Zn, their homogeneity increases and adopts a regular granular nature. The band gap was also calculated for pure CuO particles as well as those doped with certain percentages of Zn. It was note that the addition of Zn worked to reduce Band gap for CuO
