Published: October 2023

The article presents the results of studying the functional and technological properties of the dried product “KalmaKS” made from the skin of Commander squid. Technological properties such as water-retaining capacity (WRC), fat-binding capacity (FBC), fat-emulsifying capacity (FEC), critical gel concentration (CGC), foaming capacity (FC), foam stability (FS), and protein solubility in water have been analyzed as well. The determination of WRC, FBC and FEC has been carried out at different temperatures of the system “KalmaKS – water”: 25 ± 2 and 75 ± 2 °C. It has been ascertained that the product from squid’s skin has a high WRC, reaching 162% at a temperature of 25 °C, it has also been proven that “KalmaKS” binds water significantly better when the temperature rises to 75 °C. The research has shown high values of “KalmaKS’s” FBC (110%); it has been found out that an increase in temperature leads to an increase of this index to a level of 210%. The product made from squid’s skin has a fairly high (44.5%) FEC, slightly increasing with increasing temperature (up to 53%). High indices of CGC (30%) and FS (80%), low values of FC (3%), as well as high indicators of protein solubility (44.5%) have been ascertained. There has been made the conclusion about the possibility of using the product from squid’s skin, “KalmaKS”, in the production of food produce as a structure regulator with water-retaining, fat-binding and gel-forming properties.
Morphometric characteristics of return hybrids of kaluga Huso dauricus and sterlet Acipenser ruthenius (Acipenseridae)
Authors: Sviderskiy Viktor Aleksandrovich
Published: October 2023

The sturgeon fish species cultivation is a necessary activity for the preservation of natural populations in critical condition as well as in a market economy, makes it possible to obtain food products with high added value. Hybridization of sturgeon allows you to create promising cultivation facilities, and introduce them into farms in order to increase the yield of marketable products. Due to the heterosis effect the hybrid inherits useful economic characters of the intial species and also repeats them in the external structure. The degree of heritability of traits of parental species can be estimated by the relative values of body parts and counting characteristics. In addition to the degree of similarity and difference of the hybrid between the parent species it is also possible to assess the degree of heritability of economic traits, thereby conducting selection. A comparative analysis of six-year-old hybrids (K × St) × K, (K × St) × St and (St × K) × K was carried out. 21 morphometric indicators were used in the work. The patroclinic nature of inheritance of some traits has been revealed. (K × St) × K significantly differed according to the Student's criterion compared to other hybrids in terms of relative head indicators. The diagnostic characters of the studied hybrids turned out to be relative indicators of the head length and the number of lateral scutes.

Published: October 2023

The article highlights physiological and biochemical parameters of atherina (Atherina boyeri caspia Risso, 1810) in the Middle Caspian Sea at various stages of the annual cycle. The state of the fish organism was studied in the period from February to October 2022, which characterized the pre-spawning, spawning and feeding periods. The size-weight and age parameters of atherina were determined. The concentration of the main reserve substances of the fish body - total lipids and water-soluble protein – was analyzed in the muscles of the atherina. In the pre-spawning period and at the beginning of spawning of females, the level of morphological changes in the gonads was studied. There were no found significant differences in the content of total lipids and water-soluble protein in the muscles of males and females. Patterns of changes in the amount of muscle water-soluble proteins and total lipids were recorded in the entire sample of the Caspian atherina during the pre-spawning period and at the beginning of spawning. This is typical for portioned spawning fish, in which the energy expenditure of the body is directed to the formation, maturation of gonads, the removal of sexual products and the maturation of the next portions during the spawning period. In September-October, that is, already at the stage of feeding, a multidirectional character in lipid and protein metabolism was noted in the body of atherina. According to the results of histological examination, the beginning of spawning in atherina was noted in April. Mature oocytes with resorption at an average level of 30-31% were recorded in the ovaries of portioned spawning atherina in February-April, which characterized the adaptive mechanisms of the organism in the conditions of this habitat. In September, there was a significantly positive (p < 0.05) statistical correlation between the concentration of total muscle lipids and the mass of fish (r = +0.47), which characterized a positive energy balance in the body, so necessary for the next stages of life.

The morphological structure of the digestive system organs (stomach, intestines and digestive gland) of the Australian red-clawed crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) was studied when using alfalfa flour in feed as an alternative additive. Crayfish were kept in laboratory conditions, at a temperature of 24-26.5 °C and divided into 3 groups: control (11 individuals); crayfish that received experimental feed version No. 1 (10 individuals) and feed version No. 2 (10 individuals). The control group was fed with granular feed intended for sturgeon fish. In experimental feeds, fish meal was replaced by alfalfa flour by 10%. An enzyme preparation – natusim in the amount of 350 mg/kg of feed was added to the feed option No. 1. The experiment lasted 45 days. Feeding was carried out 2 times a day at the rate of 2-4% of body weight. No damage to the gastric mucosa was detected on histological preparations of control and experimental individuals. The thickness of the stomach wall from the muscle layer to the edge of the epithelium varied in a wide range – from 40 to 200 microns, regardless of the experimental group. There were no large accumulations of hemocytes in the mucous membrane, which indicates the absence of an inflammatory process. The thickness of the intestinal epithelial layer was 40-55 microns. A large number of goblet cells were observed, which may indicate an active digestion process. No pathological changes in the structure of the intestine were detected. The transverse size of the tubes of the digestive gland was in the range from 180 to 300 microns. On the cross-section, the proportion of the glandular part of the tubules reached 80-90%. Micro-preparations of the digestive gland of cancers receiving experimental feeds did not differ morphologically from the control group.

Authors:   Consultor y analista, director de Balcanismos, Roán Miguel
Published: October 2023

Después de años de «fatiga europea» respecto a la ampliación, la futura entrada de nuevos miembros ha vuelto a la agenda de la Unión Europea (UE). El objetivo es acomodar la Unión a los efectos derivados de la guerra en Ucrania y, en este contexto, los Balcanes occidentales adquieren una nueva importancia geopolítica. Sin embargo, para que el proceso sea creíble, es necesario proporcionar recursos adecuados, fortalecer la diplomacia en el frente suroriental y afrontar la reestructuración institucional de la UE a fin de articular una organización y funcionamiento ágiles y eficientes, desde la unidad de acción. La cumbre de Granada del 5 y 6 de octubre de 2023 ha sido un reflejo de esta voluntad potenciadora de la soberanía europea y de la seguridad colectiva, pero también una llamada a los estados candidatos para que obren en consecuencia e implementen las reformas necesarias.

Authors: Banse Heidi E. , Piero Fabio Del , Andrews Frank M. , Garcia-Abarca Nicolas , Watanabe Tatiane Terumi Negrão
Published: October 2023

OBJECTIVE

To compare small intestinal inflammation with gastric inflammation in horses with and without equine gastric glandular disease (EGGD), we evaluated endoscopic, macroscopic, and microscopic findings of the glandular stomach and microscopic findings of the small intestine.

ANIMALS

36 horses.

METHODS

Horses underwent endoscopy and were scored for EGGD. After euthanasia, stomachs were collected and macroscopically evaluated. Normal pyloric mucosa, glandular lesions, and small intestinal (duodenum, mid-jejunum, and ileum) samples were collected and processed for microscopic examination. Cellular infiltrate was scored. Immunohistochemistry (CD3, CD20, and Iba-1) was performed on the ventral pylorus and small intestine of horses with mild to moderate lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate. A Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the relationship of EGGD grade with gastric glandular inflammation, and the relationships of cellular infiltrate type and severity among glandular stomach, duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.

RESULTS

Gastrointestinal inflammation was common, with gastric inflammatory infiltrate identified in 92%, duodenal inflammatory infiltrate in 83%, jejunal inflammatory infiltrate in 92%, and ileal inflammatory infiltrate in 92% of horses. Endoscopic evidence of gastric disease (hyperemia or EGGD grade ≥ 2/4) was not associated with the presence or severity of duodenal, jejunal, or ileal inflammation. Gastric lymphoplasmacytic inflammation grade ≥ 2 was associated with duodenal lymphoplasmacytic inflammation grade ≥ 2. This was a convenience sample of horses presenting for euthanasia. Medical history (including deworming history) was unknown.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Gastric lymphoplasmacytic inflammation is associated with duodenal lymphoplasmacytic inflammation but not more distal small intestinal inflammation. Intestinal inflammation is not associated with endoscopic findings (hyperemia or EGGD grade ≥ 2/4).

Authors: Rodríguez-Vidal Iñigo , Otaegi Jorge , Armengod Unai
Published: October 2023

This paper delves into the examination of indoor comfort in classroom environments and its interplay with ventilation on human wellbeing in scenarios of varying indoor carbon dioxide concentrations. The assessment of these parameters was done according to the provisions outlined in the Spanish national Regulation of Thermal Installations in Buildings (RITE). This study also compares various ventilation strategies, namely natural, mechanical and hybrid ventilation, commenting the pros and cons of each method in the climate of the Basque Country, Spain. To do so, a classroom in the School of Architecture in the Basque Country was modelled in thermal simulation software. Simulations were carried out for full days in 10-minute intervals using Design Builder and considered three different exterior scenarios (a cold day, temperate day, and a warm one) and three different ventilation systems (natural, mechanical with simple flux, and hybrid). Two additional scenarios where added for control, one with no ventilation at all and another with a partial, constant, natural ventilation, like was done during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the natural ventilation option was evaluated under four conditions (windows always closed, windows constantly open 15 %, COVID-19 mode, and windows operated by thermal sensation of the user). The mechanical system evaluated consisted of a constant flux ventilation for IDA 2 IAQ with an air flux of 12.5 L/s per person. The modelled hybrid system consisted in a combination of simple flux mechanical ventilation and open windows and doors under some particular conditions. An occupancy rate of 50 % of the theoretical maximum occupancy of the classroom and a scheduled heating operation were considered. This article presents the CO2 concentration, energetic balance and thermal comfort results obtained in the simulation and compares between the different scenarios. The results showed that the hybrid ventilation system was able to effectively control indoor air quality, providing a healthy and comfortable environment for occupants. The hybrid system demonstrated improved energy efficiency compared to the natural ventilation system, while maintaining an acceptable indoor air quality. Overall, the results of this study highlight the importance of considering hybrid ventilation in educational spaces in the northern Basque Country climate. The study provides valuable insights for building design and operation, especially for renovation of existing schools and educational facilities that lack any means of mechanical ventilation, showing some of the potential for hybrid ventilation to improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency.

Analysis of Maxim Violations on Japanese Comic Strip “Kariage Kun” Vol 49 and its Indonesian Translation
Authors: Sutrisno Andi
Published: October 2023

Humor could be created by violation of maxim of the cooperative principle as proposed by Grice. In Kariage Kun, a well-known Japanese humor comic, it is challenging to analyze what maxim violation is explored to create humor, as it represents a co-interplay between a series of images and text. This study aimed to analyze the pattern of maxim violation in source text from Kariage Kun vol 49 (from word level to sentence level) and to compare whether the pattern of maxim violation is similar or shifting in the Indonesian version. The result of this study shows that the author of the comic explored the violation of maxims to create humor. The violation took place on a single or combination of the maxim of quantity, the maxim of quality, the maxim of relevance, and the maxim of manner. Compared to the target text, there are not many (less than ten percent) shifting of the pattern of maxim violation in the target text. The shifting mostly occurred when the violation dealt with the ambiguity of typical cultural load in the source text, preservation of acceptability and readability for target readers in terms of translation technique, and limited space of speech balloon.

Институционализация аналитических центров Вьетнама и их роль в публичной политике. Часть 2
Authors: Войтов Семен Алексеевич , Журбей Евгений Викторович
Published: October 2023

В данном исследовании авторы рассматривают процесс институционализации аналитических центров в публичной политике Вьетнама. Начиная с 1986 года аналитические центры играли важную роль во время рыночного перехода СРВ. Именно в тот период были сформированы организационные особенности вьетнамских фабрик мысли, которые наблюдаются до сих пор: низкая политическая самостоятельность, присутствие идеологического нарратива в исследованиях, ориентированность на государство как на основного потребителя экспертного знания, и, как следствие, ресурсная зависимость от него. Отметим, что данные особенности были также обнаружены во время нашего анализа десяти современных вьетнамских аналитических центров. Ключевые слова: Вьетнам, аналитические центры, публичная политика, экспертное знание

"Материальный поворот" в неформальной экономике: китайское присутствие в сельском хозяйстве Сибири
Authors: Корешкова Юлия Олеговна
Published: October 2023

Автор данного исследования предпринимает попытку в рамках концепции неформальной экономики применить подход "материального поворота" – теорию ассамбляжей М. Деланда – к исследованию китайского присутствия в сельскохозяйственной сфере в Сибири. В статье будет показано, как вследствие неолиберальных реформ 90-х гг. разваленные сельскохозяйственные связи и заброшенные объекты инфраструктуры, будучи исключенными из формальных процессов, производственных цепочек и сетей, находят свое второе рождение в поле неформальной экономики. По законам рыночной самоорганизации бывшие колхозные участки, а в настоящее время "китайские" хозяйства, становятся уникальными местами смешения людей, объектов, технологий – действующими акторами, встроенными в транснациональные, транслокальные и локальные сети. Ключевые слова: неформальная экономика, теория ассамбляжей, социоматериальные сети, сельское хозяйство, китайское присутствие, Сибирь

Published: October 2023

Objective: This study aimed to estimate the level of awareness about urolithiasis among the Bisha population.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted through an online questionnaire between June 2023 and July 2023 in Bisha, Saudi Arabia. The electronic questionnaire consisted of 28 questions and was distributed via multiple social media platforms.
Results: A total of 1,002 participants were included with a mean age of 26.1 ± 13.9 years old. About 55% were males and 927 (92.5%) were Saudi nationals. Regarding awareness, 405 (40.4%) were in the low awareness level, 575 (57.4%) were in the medium level, and only 22 (2.2%) participants were in the high level of awareness. Also, 83 (8.3%) were hypertensive, 75 (7.5%) had hyperparathyroidism, and 69 (6.9%) were diabetic, while 634 (63.3%) had no chronic health problems. A participant with a history of renal stones was associated with a low level of awareness, and there was a negative association between age and awareness level. Moreover, most participants were aware that there was a relationship between dietary habits and renal stone formation.
Conclusion: The study shows a low to medium level of awareness among study participants, especially among urolithiasis patients. In terms of risk factors, there is a low level of awareness about the family history, weight gain, and hot climate. Finally, we recommend adequate public education about urolithiasis and its risk factors.

Background: Fractures result in a range of consequences, including work absence, reduced productivity, disability, diminished quality of life, health deterioration, and substantial healthcare costs. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and common causes of fractures in the Hail region, to identify preventive measures. In addition, it sought to serve as a reference point for future interventional studies on fracture incidence and causative factors.
Methods: This cross-sectional study collected data through a self-administered questionnaire distributed among individuals who had experienced fractures in the Hail region of Saudi Arabia. A total of 1,936 participants who had suffered fractures were included in the study.
Results: The majority of study participants (72.2%) experienced only one fracture, primarily located in the upper extremities (52.9%), pelvis (37.5%), lower extremities (9.7%), backbone (7.4%), and fingers and toes (2.8%). Falls were the leading cause of fractures (51.7%), followed by road traffic accidents (29%), car accidents (16.5%), and injuries during football (1.7%). A substantial portion (51.1%) had experienced their fracture for more than 2 years, while 22.7% had fractures within the past year. Complications with healing were observed in 73% of participants aged 30-40 years, 60% of females, 76.9% of diabetics, and 55.1% of those with more than one fracture. In addition, all individuals with backbone fractures experienced complications in healing.
Conclusion: This study sheds light on the incidence and causes of fractures in the Hail region, emphasizing the significant burden they impose on individuals, families, society, and healthcare systems. Falls were the most common cause of fractures, highlighting the importance of fall prevention strategies.

Objective: This study aimed to provide insight into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on dental health and behavior among adults in Tabuk city, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed at Tabuk city, Saudi Arabia, and 390 adults participated. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, which was administered face-to-face to the participants to collect information on socio-demographics, dental health knowledge, and practices.
Results: Regarding dental health and behavior, it was noticed that the visits to dental clinics were limited only to those necessary, because of fear of infecting oneself with SARS-CoV-2. On the other side, males were less concerned about their teeth aesthetics, and they reduced their brushing frequency than females. The education level among the studied population showed that there was a positive effect toward dental health behavior. A highly positive impression from the participants toward dental health care was noticed (91% of participants showed satisfaction responses).
Conclusion: Findings indicated that the pandemic affected the provision of urgent dental care, the provision of routine oral health services, and the upkeep of at-home oral hygiene. Recognizing this effect is crucial, as is to make sure that the systems are supported to deal with situations in the future where access to dental care might be restricted. This involves making certain that clients have access to high-quality oral healthcare products and services, as well as preventative care.

This study aims to analyze the causes of thin capitalization disputes after the implementation of related rules (PMK Number 169/PMK.010/2015 (PMK-169)) based on the Tax Court's decision from 2019 to 2022. The research method is qualitative using a triangulation approach by conducting content analysis and documents, interviews and data triangulation using more than one data source over several time periods. The results of the research show that there has been an increase in the number and causes of disputes related to thin capitalization after the implementation of regulations. This is due to the use of a fixed ratio of debt and equity of 4:1 which is seen as not in accordance with the characteristics of the business and does not reflect fairness in business. The cause of the dispute also comes from the weakness of the examiner's correction basis in proving fairness and the existence of tax evasion efforts. This research has implications for efforts to minimize the occurrence of tax disputes in the future, accelerate tax dispute resolution and increase literacy, especially related to thin capitalization in Indonesia.

Currently, a student who simultaneously receives a higher education and works somewhere is becoming quite commonplace. Moreover, the tendency to combine study and work is characteristic of the whole world. Secondary employment allows students not only to improve their financial situation, become financially independent from their parents, but also to acquire a number of communicative and professional competencies that can be successfully applied in the future. Moreover, the practice of secondary employment allows you to form a certain work experience, which can be an advantage in employment after graduation. The phenomenon of secondary employment of a student is difficult to assess unambiguously, on the one hand, there is an accelerated professional socialization of an individual, his rapid inclusion in a new social reality, into which a young person will have to move fully after graduation. The student becomes more responsible, manages his time more competently. On the other hand, secondary employment is realized precisely in their free time from study, negatively affecting the amount of time allocated to prepare for classes, sessions, etc. The key problem of secondary employment of a student is that often the specialty of study is in no way connected with the place of work. This fact increases the likelihood that an individual after graduating from university will go to work not in his specialty, which makes it more difficult for the demands of the labor market and the education system to produce necessary quantity of specialists a certain domain. Also, not all students are able to correctly prioritize work and academic activities, as a result of which there are distortions that negatively affect educational activities.

This article is devoted to the analysis of the conceptual pair “Life” and “Death” in the Chinese linguistic picture of the world. The relevance of this study is due to the growing need for successful intercultural cooperation between Chinese and Russian cultures. Due to objective extralinguistic factors, there is an intensive exchange of knowledge between China and Russia. The flow of Chinese students to Russia is increasing; In the learning process, they are interested not so much in mastering the functioning of the Russian language system, but in understanding the “Russian world.” This process can be difficult due to the discrepancy between the original and the target cultures. The purpose of this work is to study the conceptual complex “Life – Death”, implemented in the Chinese linguistic picture of the world, on the basis of precedent texts widely known to recipients. The subject of the study is the differential characteristics of the conceptual dyad, identified in the process of analysis. The material for the work is precedent texts, in particular, poetic and paremiological units containing the lexical component “Life” and “Death” in the Chinese language. Research methods: descriptive method, conceptual analysis, linguocultural commentary method, contextual analysis, questionnaire. The analysis showed that in the system of social relations the role of each person is determined from birth. Death in the Chinese linguistic picture of the world is the other side of life; It becomes grief and loss only if the individual fails to realize his best qualities. In a certain sense, life for speakers of Chinese language consciousness is a moral achievement. The parameters of the Chinese linguistic picture of the world that we have considered constitute the fund of knowledge that will allow us to begin to comprehend the Russian linguistic picture of the world either by “comparing” mental spaces or by eliminating gaps.

The phenomenon of informatization of society is quite well covered in the scientific and philosophical literature. At the same time, less attention is paid to the analysis of the development of the tool for informatization of society — information technology. One of the urgent problems of studying information technologies is to determine the stages of their development. Applying a historical approach to the study of information technologies (IT) and their branches — geoinformation technologies (GIT) — it is possible to establish the patterns of their development and determine the directions for further growth. In the process of studying the formation and improvement of IT and GIT, approaches to dividing the history of the development of these technologies into stages are determined. For the first approach, the determining factor in the transition to the next stage of development is the improvement of information processing tools. Within the framework of this approach, four main stages are distinguished - “elementary”, “mechanical”, “software” and “network”. The second approach is related to the evolution of the tasks solved by IT and GIT — the transition from formalized to partially formalized and non-formalized issues is considered. The third approach is based on the analysis of IT development and GIT as innovative technologies that successively go through the stages of invention, diffusion and adaptation. In the process of analyzing the history of IT, it was found that after the middle of the 20th century, GIT was singled out as one of the means of solving partially formalized and non-formalized tasks, which led to the beginning of the “explicit” development of GIT as an independent direction of IT.

С момента эпохального открытия микроглии Пио дель Рио Ортегой минуло столетие многоплановых исследований, которые подтвердили гениально предсказанные испанским гистологом свойства и функции микроглиальных клеток. Однако причины возрастзависимого снижения гомеостатического/репаративного потенциала микроглии, также как подходы к модуляции цитотоксического состояния микроглии стареющего мозга остаются нерешенными вопросами на текущем этапе развития нейробиологии, в то время как возраст-ассоциированные нейровоспаление, нейродегенерация и нейродисфункция представляют собой угрожающий вызов современному «стареющему» социуму. Цель обзора – анализ представлений о причинах развития дистрофического/старческого фенотипа микроглии и подходов к увеличению ее нейрорепаративного потенциала в стареющем мозге. В работе обсуждаются прогрессирующая с возрастом глюкокортикоидная гиперпродукция и недостаточность проразрешающих/про-анаболических факторов как ведущие механизмы в развитии возрастных дистрофических изменений микроглии.

Since the epoch-making discovery of microglia by Pio del Rio Ortega, a century of multifaceted studies has passed, which confirmed the properties and functions of microglial cells ingeniously predicted by the Spanish histologist. However, the reasons for the steady age-dependent decrease in the homeostatic/reparative potential of microglia, as well as approaches to modulating the cytotoxic state of microglia in the aging brain, remain unresolved issues at the current state of neurobiology, while age-associated neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration and neurodysfunction represent a threatening challenge to the modern “aging” society. The aim of this review was to analyze the ideas about the causes for the development of the microglia dystrophic/senescent phenotype of microglia and approaches to enhancing its neuroreparative potential in the aging brain. The authors discussed the age-related progression of glucocorticoid hyperproduction and the shortage of pro-resolving/pro-anabolic factors as the leading mechanisms in the development of age-related dystrophic changes in microglia.
Particularidades da morfossintaxe das construções ditransitivas com o verbo 'DAR' na Língua Gestual Portuguesa

In this study we analyze some morphosyntactic aspects of the verb DAR (to give) in LGP (Portuguese Sign Language) in simple declarative sentences, in particular, two properties: (i) the position of the arguments regarding the verb and (ii) the agreement of the verb with the internal arguments. We defend that the basic word order in ditransitive constructions is S V DO IO, although other syntactic processes, such as simple and double topicalization may, apparently, call into question the existence of that basic pattern.

Published: October 2023

The Kalibodo sub-watershed is among the Brantas sub-watersheds. The sub-watershed under consideration is situated within the administrative boundaries of Malang Regency. A recurring issue of flooding afflicts the area in question. Floods are influenced by alterations in land utilization, insufficiency of water catchment regions, and elevated precipitation levels. Efforts can be made to address the flooding issue by implementing a hydrological analysis in rain-discharge modeling. The modeling process is conducted using the Hec-HMS software tool. This modeling endeavor aims to acquire hydrological values that closely resemble the observed data. This parameter is a metric for assessing the volume of water flowing through a river. The methodology employed in Soil Conservation Service (SCS) is based on the Curve Number (CN) approach. The method encompasses several parameters: CN, Tlag, Ia, and impervious values. The model calibration process utilizes an input CN value of 77.66 and an impenetrable value of 16.77.Moreover, the analysis of rainfall is conducted using the Thiessen Polygon approach, which considers the influence of rain stations located in Singosari, Sumbergondo, and Karangploso. The present analysis yielded weighting values of 0.457, 0.096, and 0.447 for the Singosari, Sumbergondo, and Karangploso rain stations. The calibration process lost a Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) value of 0.994. Simultaneously, the root mean square error (RMSE) exhibits a value of 0.4. The matter in question is classified as outstanding due to its proximity to an NSE value of 1 and an RMSE value close to 0, indicating a minimal error rate
Ideal conductor/dielectric model (ICDM): A generalized technique to correct for finite-size effects in molecular simulations of hindered ion transport
Authors: Haji-Akbari Amir , Shoemaker Brian
Published: October 2023

Molecular simulations serve as indispensable tools for investigating the kinetics and elucidating the mechanism of hindered ion transport across nanoporous membranes. In particular, recent advancements in advanced sampling techniques have made it possible to access translocation timescales spanning several orders of magnitude. In our prior study (\href{https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jctc.2c00375}{Shoemaker,~\emph{et al.},~\emph{J. Chem. Theory Comput.}, 18: 7142, {\bf 2022}}), we identified significant finite size artifacts in simulations of pressure-driven hindered ion transport through nanoporous graphitic membranes. We introduced the ideal conductor model, which effectively corrects for such artifacts by assuming the feed to be an ideal conductor. In the present work, we introduce the ideal conductor dielectric model (ICDM), a generalization of our earlier model, which accounts for the dielectric properties of both the membrane and the filtrate. Using the ICDM model substantially enhances the agreement among corrected free energy profiles obtained from systems of varying sizes, with notable improvements observed in regions proximate to the pore exit. Moreover, the model has the capability to consider secondary ion passage events, including the transport of a co-ion subsequent to the traversal of a counter-ion, a feature absent in our original model. We also investigate the sensitivity of the new model to various implementation details. The ICDM model offers a universally applicable framework for addressing finite size artifacts in molecular simulations of ion transport. It stands as a significant advancement in our quest to use molecular simulations to comprehensively understand and manipulate ion transport processes through nanoporous membranes.

Macrozamia communis and its associated endophytic fungi are untapped sources of bioactive metabolites with great potential for medicinal exploitation. Chemical investigation of the mycelial extract derived from an endophytic fungus Penicillium sp. MNP-HS-2 associated with M. communis fruit offered four mycophenolic acid derivatives recognized as previously undescribed natural products (1-4) together with nine known metabolites (5-13). Chemical structures of isolated compounds were determined based on extensive spectroscopic analyses, including 1D/2D NMR and HRESIMS. The absolute stereochemistry of alternatain E (1) was unambiguously established by comparing its experimental and calculated time-dependent density functional theory electronic circular dichroism spectra (TDDFT-ECD). All isolated compounds were assessed for their antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities, where mycophenolic acid methyl ester (7) displayed significant cytotoxic activity against seven different cell lines with IC50 values in the low micromolar to nanomolar range, whereas mycophenolene A (3) exhibited a potent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 2.1 µg/mL).

The aqueous uranyl dication has long been known to facilitate the UV light-induced decomposition of aqueous VOCs (volatile organic compounds), via the long-lived highly efficient, uranyl excited state. However, the lower-energy visible light excited uranyl ion is also able to cleave unactivated hydrocarbon C-H bonds, yet the development of this reactivity into controlled and catalytic C-H bond functionalization is still in its infancy, with almost all studies still focused on uranyl nitrate as the precatalyst. Here, hydrocarbon-soluble, uranyl nitrate and chloride complexes supported by substituted phenanthroline (Ph2phen) ligands are compared to each other, and to the parent salts, as photocatalysts for the functionalization of cyclooctane by H atom abstraction. Analysis of the absorption and emission spectra, and emission lifetimes of Ph2phen-coordinated uranyl complexes demonstrate the utility of the ligand in light absorption in the photocatalysis, which is related to the energy and kinetic decay profile of the uranyl photoexcited state. Density Functional Theory computational analysis of the C-H activation steps in the reaction show how a set of dispersion forces between the hydrocarbon substrate and the Ph2phen ligand provide control over the H atom abstraction, and provide predictions of selectivity of H atom abstraction by the uranyl oxo of the ring CH over the ethyl C-H in an ethylcyclohexane substrate.
