В работе исследуется процесс роста оксидных слоев на кремниевых подложках в контролируемых температурных условиях. Кремниевые пластины окисляли в печи в течение двух часов при температуре от 300°С до 1100°С. Минимальные изменения поверхности наблюдали при температуре ниже 800°C, тогда как при температуре выше 800°C заметные изменения цвета указывали на значительные эффекты окисления. Перед оксидированием кремниевые подложки подвергали тщательной очистке ацетоном, аммиачной перекисью водорода и плавиковой кислотой (HF) с последующей промывкой деионизированной водой. Толщину оксидных слоев измеряли с помощью эллипсометрии. Кроме того, для анализа оксидных слоев использовали инфракрасную спектроскопию с преобразованием Фурье (FTIR). Для каждой температуры получены FTIR-спектры, показывающие данные по поглощению и волновому числу. В частности, мы сосредоточили внимание на оптической плотности в диапазоне от 1000 до 1300 см−1 и изучили ее зависимость от температуры. Наши результаты проливают свет на взаимосвязь между поглощением и температурой, предоставляя ценную информацию о динамике роста оксидного слоя на кремниевых подложках.

Published: January 2025

Алюминиевые двухионные аккумуляторы представляют собой передовую технологию хранения энергии, характеризующуюся высокой плотностью энергии и использованием доступных, экономически выгодных материалов. В этом исследовании рассматриваются алюминиевые двухионные аккумуляторы с использованием графитового катода в сочетании с различными соотношениями хлорида 1-этил-3-метил-имидазолия и алюминиевого хлорида в электролите. Цель заключается в оптимизации электрохимической производительности путем оценки удержания емкости и циклической стабильности. Электрохимический анализ определяет соотношение 1.5:1 электролита как оптимальное, что снижает импеданс и повышает ионную проводимость, обеспечивая тем самым идеальный баланс емкости и срока службы. Структурные оценки подтверждают слоистую целостность графитового катода, способствующую стабильной интеркаляции ионов. Эти результаты подчеркивают критическую роль оптимизации электролита в повышении производительности алюминиевых двухионных аккумуляторов для применения в области устойчивого хранения энергии.

Published: January 2025

Thermal and electrical hazards in the pharmaceutical industry pose a significant risk to operational safety, product integrity, and regulatory compliance. These risks arise from the high-temperature processes of exothermic reactions, electrostatic discharge, and electrical system malfunctions. As advanced technologies in continuous manufacturing and high-speed automation are increasingly integrated, the complexity and magnitude of these hazards are accelerating. According to research findings, thermal and electrical breakdowns represent over 60% of accidents in this sector, an aspect that emphasizes the greater need for advanced safety techniques. This paper compiles all current information that would define the causes and implications of hazards in this review. This focuses on many often neglected critical factors, including high energy content in processes, the volatile nature of solvents, and inadequately developed safety systems. The latest innovations in hazard mitigation, such as predictive maintenance using IoT-enabled sensors, dynamic thermal management systems, and AI-based fault detection algorithms, have demonstrated good potential for reducing incident rates. Additionally, adherence to evolving standards like ISO 45001 and advanced Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). compliance frameworks is essential for addressing these risks effectively. This review underscores the need to integrate advanced safety technologies and robust risk management frameworks by identifying gaps in current safety practices and proposing evidence-based strategies for ensuring sustainable and compliant pharmaceutical operations.

One Big Family? A Quantitative Look at Recurring Names on Judahite Private Jar-handle Impressions
Authors: Levy Eythan
Published: January 2025

This paper examines the phenomenon of recurring names on Judahite private jar-handle impressions. The large number of recurring names in this corpus has been noted as early as 1941 by David Diringer, who proposed that many stamp-bearers belonged to the same family. This phenomenon has rarely been discussed in subsequent literature, however. I offer a new statistical analysis, showing that the high recurrence of names among the private stamps cannot be due to mere chance and should rather be explained in terms of genealogical relations. These relations span at least two generations and involve between 30% and 60% of the stamp bearers. These results have two main implications. First, they vindicate Diringer’s intuitions about the importance and genealogical nature of recurring names among the jar-handle impressions. Second, they suggest that the private jar-handles phenomenon probably had a longer time span than often assumed, lasting several decades rather than a handful of years before the Assyrian invasion of 701 BCE.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to determine the influence of MindMeister on 4C skills in the Indonesian language subject in grade 6 elementary school in Surabaya. A combined research method was used, involving data collection carried out through in-depth interviews with students, observation, taking pre-test and post-test scores 3 times each in the control class and experimental class. Quantitative results showed no significant effect of using MindMeister on 4C skills (significance values of 0,100 > 0,05). However, the qualitative result based on the student's perspective gained through interviews and observations is that most students can apply 4C skills while using MindMeister. In conclusion, it is proposed that MindMeister may influence 4C skill levels in the Indonesian subject in this particular context. It is hoped that these findings contribute to the use of MindMeister in other subjects in any grade of elementary school in Indonesia.
Climate Stress and Migration in India: An Exploratory Study of Environmental Changes on Population Movement
Authors: Trishna Sarkar, Aarushi Joshi, Yamini
Published: January 2025

This article delves into the intricate relationship between climate change and human migration in India, highlighting the severe impacts on marginalized communities. Climate change is causing rapid environmental shifts, particularly in regions like Kerala, Odisha, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Bihar, and Maharashtra. These regions are experiencing a range of climate-induced phenomena, such as rising sea levels, desertification, increased frequency of cyclones, floods, and prolonged droughts. The consequent economic and social disruption has forced millions to migrate, often to urban centers where they face further challenges. The article also explores the plight of migrant laborers, especially women, who suffer from precarious working conditions, social discrimination, and exploitation, including trafficking and forced labor. In Kerala, coastal erosion and flooding have displaced entire communities, while Odisha's frequent cyclones and West Bengal's Sundarbans face rising salinity and loss of livelihood, pushing people into distress migration. The study highlights the urgent need for comprehensive policies to address the vulnerabilities of climate migrants, ensuring their rights, livelihoods, and social integration. This paper serves as a crucial resource for understanding the complex dynamics of climate migration in India and the profound socio-economic challenges it entails.

Published: January 2025

This study examines the impact of electricity price changes on the economic structure of Lao PDR, utilizing a disaggregated sectoral approach based on the GTAP-E model framework. The research aims to contribute insights into how variations in electricity pricing affect the country’s economic development, trade, and welfare. We assess two scenarios: a baseline and a policy simulation, to achieve this. The baseline scenario subjects macroeconomic variables to exogenous shocks projected through 2030 using the Gdyn-E model. We set the policy simulation scenario for 2025 to 2028, which assumes an increase in electricity prices in line with the Lao government's announced policies. These scenarios provide a comprehensive understanding of the anticipated outcomes of electricity price adjustments.

Human Emotions: Conceptualization, Categorization, and Linguistic Manifestation
Authors: Olha Vakhovska
Published: January 2025

This paper focuses on human emotions, in view of how human emotions are conceptualized, categorized, and manifested in natural language, from the perspective of the componential appraisal theory of emotion in the first place. The nature of emotion is discussed; the components and functions of emotion are examined. Scientific literature is reviewed on the issue of differentiating emotion from the other types of affect. Feeling as one of the components of emotion proper is individuated in terms of qualia, bearing on phenomenology of human emotions. Certain ways of distributing emotion concepts into emotion categories are shown, based on the linguistic manifestations of these concepts; the key role that language plays in the formation of emotion concepts is emphasized. Basic emotions are characterized in terms of their universal biological nature that is independent of the variety of human languages and cultures. Verbal report on emotions is shown to rely on the cognitive mechanism of awareness and on linguistic naming; virtues and vices of this report are discussed. Emotion qualia are shown to emerge or transform with the emergence or transformation of the words that denote respective emotions, as a unique testimony of the dynamics of emotions in synchrony and in diachrony.

Published: January 2025

The productivity and socioeconomic sustainability of Bubalus bubalis was compared to that of Bos indicus (as a reference), using an econometric livestock simulator in the low-lands of Barinas, Venezuela. Located at 7° 59’ 57.57’’ north latitude and 68° 59’ 00.13’’ west longitude, and from there to a radius of 50 kilometers. The simulator, built with Microsoft Excel, used the methodology of formulation and evaluation of agricultural investment projects. Given the importance of making prospective evaluations as a way of demonstrating sustainability, it was corroborated the future behavior of the family’s assets every time through the projected balance sheet: it was inquire, using a “Focus Group” with 80 breeders, the following variables: Number of hectares; carrying capacity; milk production per day; milk/cheese conversion; animal unit; projected income; projected health costs, pasture maintenance costs, feed costs and projected financial costs; depreciation; interest rate; inflation; investments; mortality rate; calving percentage, among others. The central motivation of the study was to show breeder families a different alternative to traditional cattle farming, in which the study area displaces a lot of forestry due to the expansion of agricultural lands. In contrast, buffalo farming requires forests. However, to convince farmers to apply this type of livestock; it was necessary to demonstrate its greater profitability. Upon inputting random values, internal rates of return (IRR) were obtained for a ten-year projection horizon and, comparing both type of livestock herds: the bubaline herd was more productive, as shown by a higher IRR in the year 2022 (IRR=35%), than the cattle herd (IRR=10%) during the same period. After statistically processing those resulted with a positive sign, by comparing means through Student’s t-tests for independent samples, using the SPSS statistical package: it was verified that the annual positive IRR results obtained are statistically and probabilistically valid with bilateral significance levels p <0.05 and p < 0.01 of admissible errors respectively, indicating that there are significant differences between the means. It was concluded that, in the western lowlands of Venezuela, Bubalus bubalis is both productive and socioeconomically sustainable. The latter could be corroborated by using Linear Regression in the projected financial statements (Income Statement and Balance Sheet) measuring the evolution of the family patrimony, with the livestock family being the fundamental socioeconomic unit and its central object of study. In 2023, the projections of the present work have been verified through the statistics provided by the Agrifood Network of Venezuela.
The intellectualization of multiculturism: Implications for Positive Psychotherapy
Authors: Marseille Andre
Published: January 2025

Western multiculturalism has emphasized reason, categorization, and a methodical analysis of race, identity, culture, and belonging. This academic emphasis has strengthened our understanding of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA), resulting in significant policies and programs. These efforts promote diverse appreciation and common humanity. However, this approach has unintentionally imbalanced our understanding of multiculturalism. This has resulted in the intellectualization of multiculturalism. By focusing on the cognitive features that concern multiculturalism, we risk forgetting its rich emotional depth that shapes our interactions with other identities and cultures. Positive psychotherapy encourages practitioners to analyze multiculturalism intellectually and emotionally to build meaningful connections. By focusing on capacities like trust, love, contact, and time, we can shift how mental health and DEIA professionals view multiculturalism into a more holistic one. This emotionally attuned perspective provides a deeper, more real understanding of diversity that speaks to the heart and mind, enhancing human interconnectedness.

Authors: Ding Qiyang , Shi Lei , Xia Ji , Wang Nisha , Gao Wei
Published: January 2025

A clear association between diabetes and cognitive impairment has been demonstrated in past studies, increasing the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases and accelerating the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other types of dementia. Many hypothesized mechanisms of diabetes leading to cognitive impairment exist, and the mechanism of insulin resistance has been demonstrated. Transnasal administration of insulin improves recall of spatial memory in healthy subjects in addition to verbal working memory, visuospatial working memory, delayed memory, and cognitive performance in cognitively impaired patients. No safety concerns have been identified in retrospective studies of intranasal insulin. This review aims to assess the potential of intranasal insulin as a treatment for cognitive impairment related to diabetes.

Authors: Qin Kai , Sun Xiaobo , Bai Guoyang , Dou Qunli
Published: January 2025

Total knee arthroplasty is one of the important surgical methods for end-stage knee osteoarthritis in elderly patients. However, due to the large surgical trauma, postoperative pain may occur to varying degrees, which not only affects patients' functional exercise, delays limb rehabilitation and increases hospitalization time but also increases postoperative medical expenses and complications risks. In recent years, the widely used joint periarticular local infiltration "cocktail" has become an ideal combination therapy for multimodal analgesia. This method aims to prevent and control postoperative pain by co-injecting several drugs (formulated drugs) into the surrounding area of the joint. Currently, the "cocktail" formulation is constantly being improved, and there is still a lack of unified standards regarding its formulation, injection method, and site. This article will review recent research progress on the use of "cocktail" treatment in total knee arthroplasty both domestically and internationally.

Objective: This investigation aims to elucidate the mechanism of action underlying the Fufei Jiedu formula in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma by employing network pharmacology techniques and molecular docking strategies. Methods: The TCMSP, HERB, BATMAN, ETCM databases and analysis platforms were utilized to identify active ingredients and potential targets. The genes associated with lung adenocarcinoma were searched in the OpenTargets, DrugBank, and GeneCards databases to identify the intersection targets of the FuFei JieDu detoxification and lung adenocarcinoma. Subsequently, a FuFei JieDu detoxification-component-target-lung adenocarcinoma network model map was created using Cytoscape3.9.1 software. Additionally, The STRING database was utilized to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network map in order to identify key targets. The GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were conducted to explore the potential mechanisms of drug action on the disease. Finally, molecular docking was conducted to confirm the binding affinity of key active components and core targets using AutoDock Tools software. Results: The research identifying 99 active compounds and their 582 associated targets connected to lung adenocarcinoma. 121 intersection targets were selected, including 5 chemical compound that serve as the material basis for the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma, luteolin, wogonin, baicalein and kaempferol. After analyzing the PPI network map, core targets such as TP53, AKT1, STAT3, EGFR, MYC, BCL2, and CTNNB1 were identified. The GO and KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that121 genes were primarily enriched in biological processes such as programmed cell death, immune regulation, and oxidative stress, as well as signaling pathways including PI3K/Akt, AGE/RAGE, TNF, and PDL-1pathway. The outcomes of the molecular docking studies uncovered these associations, compounds such as EGFR, CTNNB1, and AKT1 had good affinity with target molecules like quercetin, Calycosin, baicalin, β-sitosterol, and Delta-D. Conclusion: A variety of components such as quercetin, Calycosin, baicalin, β-sitosterol, and Delta-D in the Fufei Jiedu prescription may participate in the regulation of multiple pathways such asPI3K/Akt, AGE/RAGE, TNF, and PDL-1 pathway by acting on EGFR, CTNNB1, AKT1 and other targets to inhibit the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma, and play a synergistic anti-tumor effect.

Authors: Liu Guanglin , Yan Xiaolong , Jiang Jialing
Published: January 2025

This study used a network pharmacology approach to analyze the potential role of Pterostilbene (PTS) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Compared with traditional ESCC treatments, which often have single targets, limited efficacy, and significant side effects, PTS, as a natural flavonoid compound, offers multiple targets, pathways, strong bioavailability, and blood-brain barrier penetration. These properties may compensate for the shortcomings of conventional drugs. The study constructed the PTS target network and PPI network, systematically analyzing its core targets and related pathways, providing a theoretical foundation for the development of PTS as a new drug for the prevention and treatment of ESCC.

Authors: Wang Yuqi , Han Jian , Cao Qian , Li Zhi
Published: January 2025

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the most severe complications of diabetes, involving complex pathological mechanisms such as neuropathy, vascular abnormalities, and infections. In recent years, with advances in treatment technologies and the promotion of multidisciplinary team (MDT) care, DFU diagnosis and treatment have improved significantly. Traditional therapies, including dressings, debridement, and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), remain critical in basic treatment. Meanwhile, emerging therapies such as stem cell therapy, growth factor therapy, continuous oxygen diffusion therapy (CODT), and antimicrobial materials offer new hope for treating refractory ulcers. However, DFU's high recurrence rate and poor long-term prognosis remain major challenges, closely associated with blood glucose fluctuations, infections, and psychosocial factors. MDT approaches have significantly improved cure rates and quality of life but face limitations in implementation at primary healthcare levels. Future research should focus on large-scale, multicenter studies with long-term follow-up while strengthening psychological support and personalized management. This would promote comprehensive advancements in DFU diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
