Published: February 2025

Penajam Paser Utara (PPU) Regency in East Kalimantan has been designated as one of the buffer areas of the new Capital City of the Republic of Indonesia, known as Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN). The Paser tribe, native to PPU Regency, carries rich customs and traditions, one of which is rattan crafting utilizing local materials and traditional knowledge. This article explores opportunities to enhance the attractiveness of PPU Regency through the lens of Cultural Intellectual Property (CIP) in Indonesia. The aim is to raise awareness about developing strategies that strengthen the legal protections for traditional knowledge holders, using CIP to promote Sepan Village's appeal in the context of IKN. The research employs a qualitative approach and utilizes case studies from Sepan Village, PPU Regency. This article suggests that to enhance the allure of this cultural heritage, the PPU Regency government should implement a strategy that involves cataloging the local culture in accordance with the mandates of Law No. 5 of 2017 concerning Cultural Advancement and Government Regulation No. 55 of 2022 concerning Communal Intellectual Property. This strategy should be formalized in regional regulations to provide guidelines for promoting culture and CIP, as well as to clarify the responsibilities of regional government agencies involved in these initiatives.

Published: February 2025

This study highlights the complex interplay of social, cultural, and religious factors in shaping gender roles within co-preneurial businesses in Indonesia. Using an empirical qualitative approach, the research incorporates in-depth interviews with seven co-preneurial couples from diverse cultural backgrounds i.e. Javanese, Minangkabau, and Mandarese ethnicities in Indonesia. The findings reveal that co-preneurial couples often challenge traditional gender stereotypes by establishing equitable roles based on individual capacities rather than societal norms. This flexibility is underpinned by mutual trust, effective communication, and respect, crucial for entrepreneurial endeavour. Cultural analysis shows that Javanese and Mandarese cultures, while patriarchal, allow for adaptable role distributions. Meanwhile, Minangkabau culture which is matrilineal is being more gender balanced.  From a religious perspective, all participants view Islam as advocating for collaborative efforts between male and female in business and promoting balanced gender roles. Despite traditional biases favouring male dominance in work and industry, current trends indicate increasing female involvement in business activities, challenging long-standing stereotypes. The study identifies potential disadvantages, including conflicts arising from the overlap between personal and professional roles and underlying cultural and social biases influencing role dynamics. The study implies that advocating more intensive gender equality, establishing clearer professional boundaries, developing supportive policies and legal frameworks to foster an equitable co-preneurial environment are still needed, which should emphasize the importance of mutual respect, trust, and flexibility in creating balanced and productive business partnerships, contributing valuable insights into the intersection of law, culture, and entrepreneurship.

Published: February 2025

Material and methods. The patients were divided into 3 groups: Group I (30 patients) — standard treatment, Group IA (15 patients) — standard treatment with mechanical eyelid delineation, Group II (30 patients) — with additional treatment with povidone iodine after blepharostat placement. Microbiologic material was collected before the intervention and at different stages of the operation from the conjunctival cavity (after standard treatment, after blepharostat installation, after additional treatment). Before completion of PEC, the level of contamination of the ACF was investigated. The isolated bacteria were identified by MALDI-TOF method, sensitivity was determined by disk-diffusion method.

Results. The highest occurrence at the preoperative stage was S.epidermidis. The percentage of S.epidermidis contamination of the operative field after eyelid extender placement was 33.33, 26 and 40 % in groups I, IA, II, respectively, in group II after additional treatment with povidone iodine — 6.6 %, in ACF it was found in 23.33, 13 and 0 % in groups I, IA, II, respectively Conclusion. Antiseptic measures in the volume of additional treatment with povidone iodine is the most effective technique that reduces S.epidermidis contamination of the intervention area and the only one in the study that ensures its absence in the ACF. Standard treatment with and without mechanical delineation is less effective and does not prevent S.epidermidis contamination of the ACF.

Purpose. To assess the quality of life in patients with presbyopia before and after peripheral Presby FemtoLasik surgery.

Material and methods. The subjects of the study were patients with presbyopia aged 52.0±5.6 years. The total number of study participants was 26 patients, including 12 women (46 %) and 14 men (54 %). All patients underwent correction of presbyopia using the peripheral Presby FemtoLasik method and the Microscan VIZUM excimer laser unit. The quality of vision was assessed based on a patient survey using the standard Visual Function 14 (VF-14) subjective satisfaction questionnaire. The patients were surveyed before surgery, 6 months after it, and also in the late postoperative period (from 1 to 3 years).

Results. The value of the integral indicator of quality of life according to the VF-14 questionnaire in patients before surgery varied from 17 to 91 points. The average value of this indicator was 61 (52–67) points. 6 months after the operation, the average value of the quality of life indicator significantly increased to 98 (96–100) points (p < 0.05). The increase in the indicator was 60 %. The value of the indicator varied from 89 to 100 points. Evaluation of the value of the integral indicator of quality of life for the period from 1 to 3 years did not reveal significant differences in relation to the value of the indicator immediately after surgery.

Conclusion. The average value of the integral indicator of the quality of life of patients after the peripheral Presby FemtoLasik operation increased by 60 % and amounted to 98 (96–100) points. The quality of life in patients in the late postoperative period (from 1 to 3 years) did not significantly decrease.

Light Enhanced Water Dissociation in Bipolar Membranes
Authors: Giesbrecht Patrick , Margeson Matt , Dasog Mita , Freund Michael
Published: February 2025

Bipolar membrane (BPM) integration can allow robust and abundant materials to be implemented into energy conversion frameworks and purification pathways vital for the development of clean technologies. However, large membrane voltages associated with water dissociation (WD) have hampered widespread adoption. This work investigates an alternative method to reduce the overvoltage associated with WD operation by illuminating the BPM interface in the presence of nanoparticulate catalyst layers that exhibit plasmonic character. The plasmonic character of the catalyst enhanced the field locally near the active catalyst site, lowering the resistance associated with WD as well as the onset potential for WD. Optimal catalyst loadings allowed a balance of light absorption, catalyst activity, and field utilization. Composites of known WD catalysts that exhibited minimal light activity with a plasmonic and WD active material exhibited improvements in the WD resistance of up to 20% upon irradiation. This proof-of-concept work introduces a new paradigm for altering WD activity in BPMs, where the optical activity of WD catalysts can provide further tunability towards efficient WD and alternative energy conversion frameworks.

Published: February 2025

The interaction of cysteine and related aminoacids with metal substrates has applications in several fields of science, technology and health. Despite widespread interest in these systems, the relationship between thiol adsorption and surface coarsening, including the effects of sur- face adatoms and other defect sites, has not been systematically addressed. Here, the effect of binding site unsaturation on the adsorption strength of cysteine on gold substrates is examined using density functional theory. Adsorption sites with a full range of in-surface coordination numbers are generated using surface adatoms or pitting structure. The configurational space of the adsorbate on the nanostructured surface is sampled extensively using Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulation. Our results indicate that binding strength is primarily deter- mined by a combination of surface site reactivity to the mercapto group and the availablity of additional sites for amino group coordination. The study aims to further our understanding of mercapto-aminoacid binding to defect substrates and low-coordinated nanoparticle sites, and to provide a basis for the development of coordination-dependent force fields that may be used in classical simulations of these systems.

Published: February 2025

The invasions of Argemone mexicana in sub–Saharan Africa’s natural habitats negatively affect biological diversity. We investigated A. mexicana’s suppressive effects on Phaseolus vulgaris seed germination (petri dish experiments) and seedling growth (pot experiments). Phaseolus vulgaris seeds and seedlings were treated with different A. mexicana leaf (AmL) and root (AmR) crude extract concentrations to study their suppressive effects on the test plant. The results revealed that AmL and AmR crude extract suppressed P. vulgaris seed germination and seedling growth, particularly at higher concentrations (70% and 100%). At these concentrations, the seed germination inhibition percentage was twice that at lower concentrations (25% and 50%). The number of seeds that germinated at higher concentrations was lower compared to those that germinated at lower concentrations. Correspondingly, seed germination was delayed at higher concentrations compared to lower ones and controls. Moreover, P. vulgaris seedling growth vigour was negatively affected as the growth parameters (fresh biomass, root lengths, stem diameters, and heights) under 75% and 100% concentrations of AmL and AmR were lower. Though this study’s findings revealed that A. mexicana crude extract reduced P. vulgaris germination and growth, further research is required to investigate the allelopathic effects of A. mexicana on other plant species.

Published: February 2025

Salinity remains a major abiotic threat to crop production. The growth and yield performance of five soybean accessions exposed to different salinity levels was evaluated in a pot experiment between July to December 2023 and August to December 2023 at the Screen House of Teaching and Research Station, Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design with two factors (accessions and salinity levels) with three replications. The factors were five soybean accessions and five salinity levels (0.64, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 dS/m). Results obtained indicated that seed emergence percentage, plant height, the number of leaves per plant, number of pods per plant, pod weight (g), and grain yield at 12 percent moisture content were significantly (P>0.05) affected by soil salinity at all levels of treatment and the accessions were significantly different to each other. As the soil salinity concentration increases, the performance of the soybean agronomic traits studied reduces. However, the accessions collected Kujama and Zaria performed better compared to other studied accessions across the salinity levels. The results confirmed the detrimental effects of soil salinity on soybean, and improvement towards salt tolerance can begin with accession from Kujama and Zaria

Published: February 2025

More than 20% of agricultural land around the world is suffering from salt stress which hampers plant growth and development. Jute is one of the most important fiber crops that stands second after cotton in the world. Since cultivable land in Bangladesh is decreasing day by day, jute cultivation needs to be moved to the coastal area. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the response of five jute genotypes at different levels of salinity. Germination and seedling growth were focused on as the most critical stages of plant development. In this research, germination percentage (GP), germination index (GI), mean germination time (MGT), seedling vigor index (SVI), shoot & root lengths and fresh & dry seedling weight, and salinity tolerance indices were studied for two-way ANOVA and hierarchical agglomerative classification. Results showed that increasing salinity reduced GP, GI and SVI of the jute genotypes while MGT increased. Having no salt tolerant tossa jute genotype, salt tolerant white jute genotype BJRI Deshi pat 10 was grown simultaneously with four tossa jute genotypes to compare the growth parameters where results indicated that although not as tolerant as BJRI Deshi pat 10, tossa jute genotypes O-043-7-9 G and O-0512-6-2 G showed less salt sensitivity than the other two genotypes O-043-7-9 R and Acc. 4582 G.

Authors: Andey Asyifa , Uyama Hiroshi , Lim SyazanaAbdullah
Published: February 2025

Extensive research has been conducted on creating compost from food waste by integrating various materials such as biochar and animal manure. Compost optimization often requires incorporating materials to enhance its effectiveness in promoting plant growth, rather than solely relying on food waste. However, there is a scarcity of studies assessing its effectiveness in practical applications until the compost is integrated with other materials. Hence, this study investigated the interaction between physicochemical characterization of organic food waste compost through its maturity and stability and aims to optimize the formulation of compost using food waste exclusively with its application effectiveness for sustainable approach of agriculture farming. In this work, a comprehensive investigation was conducted to explore the progression and characterization of this process. Compost produced from organic food waste was also evaluated for its maturity and stability using (i) structural characterization (scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Emmett and Teller (BET) surface area); (ii) spectroscopic analysis (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR); (iii) thermogravimetric (TG) analysis; and (iv) DPPH scavenging activity. To assess the practical applicability of the compost, a model involving the utilization of the compost on mung bean plants was employed for assessment. Our results on SEM, BET, FT-IR, and TGA indicated that the finished compost was stable and proved maturity only when incorporated with eggshells. The compost exhibited favorable physicochemical and structural characteristics, leading to successful practical application.
Resenha de Poemas Selecionados (2021), de Emily Brontë
Authors: Bastos Almeida Mateus Roseli
Published: February 2025

Esta resenha versa sobre a coletânea Poemas Selecionados (2021), publicada pela editora Caravana, com tradução de Rogério Sáber. O recorte dos textos presentes no livro focaliza e compreende os poemas de Emily Brontë em sua carga filosófica, aspecto recorrente em seus textos. Além disso, a escolha da edição da qual os poemas foram extraídos demonstra preocupação em trazer uma tradução a partir de um conteúdo atualizado. O trabalho empreendido nessa tradução parece ter optado por não se afastar muito dos poemas de partida. As traduções, apesar de não reproduzirem as rimas alternadas e a métrica por vezes regular — elementos comuns nos textos da poeta, destacam a sonoridade através do uso metafórico de aliterações e assonâncias para representar elementos citados nos poemas. No campo lexical, prioriza-se a semântica abundante no uso de metáforas e anáforas, além da preferência pelo léxico melancólico e sombrio, algo recorrente na poesia brontëana.

“She was like a family member”: a translation of the short story Baleia (1937), by Graciliano Ramos, from Brazilian Portuguese into English
Authors: Marcelino João Gabriel Carvalho
Published: February 2025

Graciliano Ramos was a writer, journalist, politician and translator from Alagoas who lived between 1892 and 1953 - author of novels such as S. Bernardo (1934) and Angústia (1936) and his most recognized work Vidas Secas (1938). The novel Vidas Secas comes from the short story written by the author in 1937, entitled Baleia, which he wrote as a way of trying to imagine what goes on in the head of a dog as it dies. Graciliano Ramos' work is marked by an objective, almost silent style, in which the author expresses the dissatisfaction of the characters who are marginalized and hardened by reality. In contrast, Baleia, the dog who is aware of and participates in the narrative, observes the world from her perspective as an animal, finding human behaviour strange and revealing complex feelings in her composition presented by the omniscient narrator. The moment of the dog's death is presented in this translation from Brazilian Portuguese into English considering the story as a whole, and not as a part of the book.

Electronic structure of mesoionic compounds. The classification problem
Authors: Kyrpa Mariia , Kovalenko Sergiy , Ivanov Volodymyr
Published: February 2025

Mesoionic compounds are conventionally categorized into two types based on the primary origin of electrons within the conjugated system, specifically determined by the arrangement of heteroatoms in the five-membered ring. An examination of diverse mesoionic compounds has been undertaken to address the pivotal query surrounding their classification: does the primary origin of electrons hold significance, and does this criterion demarcate a definitive boundary between the two types of compounds? To comprehensively address this issue, the DFT calculations were performed for a set of mesoionic molecules. The electronic properties of the molecules were studied within the frameworks of quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and the Nuclear Independent Chemical Shift (NICS).

To comprehend the topological distinctions among representatives of the two types, we describe a set of indices designed to characterize the spatial distribution of electronic parameters within the molecular frameworks. The results obtained show that the existing classification is to a certain extent justified, with the main distinguishing factor between the two types being the nature of the distribution of the resulting ellipticities of bonds in five-membered ring and the structure of the molecular orbitals. At the same time, based on NICS calculations we concluded that both classes are not characterized by pronounced aromaticity of the mesoionic ring for the selected set of molecules.
Absorption spectra of Nitrazine Yellow indicator. Experimental data and quantum chemical evaluations
Authors: Khristenko Inna , Ivanov Volodymyr
Published: February 2025

This article presents an experimental investigation and theoretical analysis of the electronic absorption spectra of the indicator nitrazine yellow (NY) in aqueous solutions. Quantum chemical modeling of electronically excited states is performed within the framework of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). A variety of approaches and basis sets are explored, particularly focusing on the B3LYP and CAM-B3LYP functionals. The standard 6-31+G(d,p) basis set is employed, along with combinations using pseudopotential basis sets for Na and S atoms.

In the first variant of calculations, the LanL2DZ basis set (and corresponding pseudopotential) is used for all atoms within the molecules. In the second variant, the LanL2DZ basis set is applied exclusively to Na and S atoms, while the standard valence double-zeta split basis set 6-31+G(d,p) is utilized for the remaining elements (H, C, N, O). Solvent effects on the absorption spectra are incorporated using the polarizable continuum model, employing the linear response method.

Calculations are performed on three forms of NY. Two of these forms (A and B) correspond to azo-hydrazone tautomerism, while the third form (C) represents the deprotonated state. Ground state geometry calculations indicate that the π-conjugated part of form A is largely planar and stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond O-H...N. The tautomeric form B is also characterized by a high degree of planarity in its conjugation system. In contrast, the deprotonated form C shows significant rotation of the 2,4-dinitrophenyl group and the nitro group in the ortho position of the benzene ring.

Analysis of excited-state calculations for the three forms of NY reveals that both variants (B3LYP/LanL2DZ and B3LYP/LanL2DZ/6-31+G(d,p)) require minimal computational resources while producing results that correspond well with the experimentally observed absorption bands.
Ukrainian Social Elite in Pylyp Orlyk’s Lliterary Works
Authors: Lytvyn Larysa
Published: February 2025

The principal focus of the article is the determination of the circle of Ukrainian elite representatives and the examination of the means of their image features, that are used by the prominent Ukrainian hetman in exile as well as baroque literator Pylyp Orlyk. His poetry collections "Ruthenian Alcide" and "Sarmatian Hippomenes", in addition to several insignificant eulogies, which were published in the course of the "Mazepian era", united the military, religious and cultural elites around the hetman. Poltava tragedy, which was fatal for Ukraine and personally for Pylyp Orlyk, divided Ukrainian elites into exiled ones and Russian supporters. His life-driving perspective about the current circumstances is described in his letters aimed at Ukrainian elites in Russia and Western Europe. Orlyk`s "Blank diariush" was journaled within the period from 1720 to 1733 and reflects the fluctuations of the author`s mood, the circle of people, that is entrusted with the mission of state foundation by Pylyp Orlyk, along with genre and artistic preferences of his creations.

The main objective of this work is to research the means of creating the image of Ukrainian elites, who lived within the period of Pylyp Orlyk`s activity in the context of his social, political, and aesthetic preferences, and is provided by the combination of intertextual, phenomenological, culturally-historical, and descriptively-analytical methods. On the foundation of the executed analysis, the summary stands thus: the research of the phenomenon of Ukrainian elites within the period from the 17th century to the 18th century took place, the circle of people, representing the Ukrainian elite of that period, who became the object of literary interest from Pylyp Orlyk (they are Ivan Mazepa, Ivan Obydovskyi, Stephan Yavorskyi and Danylo Apostol) took place, and the pattern of usage of various artistic means of various baroque registers, which are beneficial for creating the necessary images, was researched.

The one thing that can be safely assumed is that in his literary works, Orlyk depicts the image of Ivan Mazepa, Ivan Obydovskyi, Stephan Yavornytskyi, and Danylo Apostol, who were the brightest representatives of the Ukrainian elite of that period. There was an examination of distinct features of the application of literary means of various stylistic registers, that were the basis of the majority of literary images in Orlyk`s work.

El Tribunal de Vagos en Tamaulipas como control social y erradicación de la vagancia con base en las leyes e ideología española vigentes en México (1745-1835)
Authors: Pesina Rodríguez Jorge Alejandro
Published: February 2025

Los problemas de seguridad, salubridad y todo lo que conllevó el delito de vagancia sería condenado tanto por políticos, pensadores e incluso la sociedad. Esto provocó que se crearan medidas legislativas de carácter jurídico para perseguir y corregir al vago. El uso de estos en las armas, obras públicas y talleres serían las principales penas. En Tamaulipas, se siguió con las prácticas jurídicas y judiciales aplicadas en el país, que a su vez habían retomado del antiguo sistema de gobierno. El problema del tribunal en el estado radicaría en la justicia laxa que emanaría del mismo problema a nivel nacional: una institución con integrantes gubernativos no conocería en materia judicial. Aun así, las leyes contra vagos siguieron empleándose durante casi todo el siglo XIX. En esta investigación se muestra un estudio cualitativo al dilucidar los casos judiciales decimonónicos de vagancia mediante las cuestiones jurídicas que estaban aplicándose en la materia, de esta manera una cosa explica la otra. Por consecuencia, se trata hasta cierto punto la intervención sociológica de los actores sociales como son los vagos, quienes serían un punto crucial en la participación institucional que buscaba corregir y erradicar dicha condición
Las estrategias del Estado para “construir” la idea campesina en los valles de Durango (1913-1940)

En el siguiente texto se estudia la forma en que a través del reparto de la tierra y el agua, la introducción de nueva tecnología y el establecimiento de escuelas rurales, el Estado posrevolucionario influyó en los valles de Durango, para que los sectores que se habían empoderado durante la lucha armada, construyeran una identidad campesina, entendida como una idea y sentimiento en permanente alteración, a partir de la cual los individuos se comprenden como parte de una colectividad, con características y un pasado en común, la cual sería funcional para que México profundizara su papel como exportador de alimentos y materias primas en el sistema capitalista, a la par que ayudaba a los sectores desfavorecidos del campo a asumir el nuevo lugar que ocupaban en la sociedad. Para este análisis se recurrió a los planteamientos teóricos de Marshall Berman, William Rosberry y Christopher R. Boyer; y se consultaron, fuentes primarias en archivos históricos y hemerografia, además de fuentes secundarias de autores especializados en el tema.
El socialismo a la mexicana y sus intelectuales en Tamaulipas Otra cultura política posrevolucionaria (1920-1940)
Authors: Alonso Pérez Pedro
Published: February 2025

Este ensayo esboza el fenómeno histórico definido como socialismo a la mexicana, partiendo de la identificación de sus actores principales, así como la ubicación de la región, los estados costeros del Golfo de México, en que se desenvolvió este proceso político y social cuyas características particulares están correlacionadas al concepto de socialismo en el sentido más amplio posible. Continúa con definiciones de socialismo a la mexicana y cultura política mediante las cuales se plantea desarrollar una primera aproximación que permita identificar el problema de investigación, para finalmente exponer una descripción sobre la obra de Emilio Portes Gil y Marte R. Gómez, figuras consideradas dentro del referido fenómeno histórico en Tamaulipas, a pesar de ciertas incongruencias advertidas. Estos personajes son visualizados no solo en su calidad de actores políticos relevantes, como tradicionalmente lo ha hecho la historiografía sobre el tema, sino también como intelectuales o ideólogos que exponen en sus escritos caracteres del pensamiento que motiva su actuación política.

Indonesia, home to the largest mangrove ecosystem in the world, plays a vital ecological, socio-economic, and socio-cultural role. Mangrove forests, as tropical coastal vegetation communities, grow in tidal areas, providing coastal protection, fish resources, and various ecological benefits. However, mangrove forests are vulnerable to damage from human activities, such as overexploitation and waste disposal. Development demands, particularly the conversion of mangrove forests, lead to ecosystem degradation. Physical, chemical, biological, and socio-economic factors contribute to this damage, with oil pollution and waste disposal posing severe threats. The importance of conservation and sustainable management is emphasized to maintain the sustainability of mangrove ecosystems. This research employs qualitative methods with descriptive and experimental approaches. The descriptive approach is used to understand the research object in its natural conditions, while the experiment is conducted systematically and planned to prove theories. The research approach involves a combination of quantitative methods and qualitative interviews to understand the interaction of research variables deeply. Based on the research findings, factors that need to be considered in mangrove areas include physical, chemical, biological, and social aspects. Physical and chemical parameters, such as temperature, salinity, and water quality, meet the maximum allowable standards. However, there is an increase in heavy metals, mainly dissolved oil, which could threaten the health of the mangrove ecosystem. Changes in mangrove species were also detected, indicating a threat to the sustainability of mangrove plants. Social issues, such as indiscriminate disposal of plastic waste, wood, and glass shards, cause blockages and hinder mangrove growth. Therefore, efforts for protection and sustainable management are necessary to ensure the sustainability of the mangrove ecosystem in the area.

Relative permeability is one of the most important properties influencing the transport of CO2 in the subsurface and is a key input for dynamic simulation. This study reviews an experimental program designed to develop best practices for supercritical CO2 and brine (scCO2-brine) relative permeability tests and to gather insights on scCO2-brine flow behavior. Significant system and procedural upgrades (such as upgraded materials, larger gas pumps, fluid equilibrium, and differential pressure controls) are implemented to overcome operational challenges associated with scCO2-brine systems. We measure both drainage and imbibition relative permeabilities using the steady-state method on a single Berea sandstone core at two pore pressures (12.4 and 30 MPa [1,800 and 4,350 psi]). The use of a recirculating steady-state system with equilibrated fluids at pressure and temperature is key to enabling high-quality data collection in scCO2-brine relative permeability tests.
The results demonstrate no significant difference in relative permeability behavior between the two pressures during the drainage cycle. No pressure effects are observed on scCO2-brine relative permeability behavior, and no wettability effects are inferred. Additionally, the drainage and imbibition relative permeabilities follow the strongly water-wet displacement behavior with no observed hysteresis in water relative permeability (Krw) and gas relative permeability (Krg).
These results contribute to the best practices for scCO2-brine relative permeability measurements and flow behavior for CO2 storage projects.
