About global forecast of European Parliament TO 2035
Authors: Лукашин Юрий Павлович , Рахлина Людмила Ильинична
Published: July 2024

Актуальность статьи обусловлена важностью долгосрочных прогнозов мировых процессов для правительств, крупных корпораций, специалистов, принимающих решения на длительные периоды времени. Долгосрочное прогнозирование является необходимым отправным моментом для оценки ожидающих мир вызовов и возможностей и разработки соответствующих им мероприятий и планов будущего развития. В этих прогнозах обязательно учитываются: тенденции и прорывы в развитии науки и техники, определяются возможные изменения экономического, социального и политического состояния мира в целом и в отдельных его регионах, выявляются кризисные моменты.Основным методом анализа статьи является оценка прогноза ЕС, методологии его получения и выводов в сравнении с другими долгосрочными прогнозами. В статье сделан вывод, что наряду с бесспорными выводами, прогноз не всегда содержит четкие оценки перспектив и их обоснование. В частности, не ясна вероятность реализации каждого из предложенных сценариев будущего, факторы, благоприятствующие и препятствующие реализации каждого из них. В отличие от своих конкурентов ЕС состоит из 28 стран и это означает внутреннюю конкуренцию между странами и производителями. Даже в отношении к миграции и«Северному потоку-2» страны ЕС придерживаются разных точек зрения. В ЕС отсутствует четкая координация венчурных инвестиций в разработку инновационных технологий со стороны правительств.Статья предназначена для органов государственного управления, научных сотрудников, студентов.

Actuality of the article is due to the great importance of the long-term forecasts of world processes for governments, big corporations, specialists on decision making for long-term periods. It is impossible to elaborate economic policy, plans and great fnance programs without forecasts to meet the calls of the time. These forecasts show trends and breakthroughs in development of science and technology, determine possible changes in eco- nomics, social and political life of the world and in its diferent regions, help to determine crisis points. The main ana- lytical method of the article is to assess the forecast of the European Parliament, the methodology for its receipt and conclusions, comparing them with the long-term forecasts of others. The authors make the conclusion that together with forecasts that are undoubtedly undisputed there are forecasts without clear estimation of its perspectives and background. In particular, the probability of realization each of suggested scenarios of future is unknown. Factors that favor or interfere with forecasts are not called. Unlike its competitors, the EU consists of 28 countries and this means internal competition between countries and producers. The countries members of EU have diferent opin- ions regarding migration problem or about project “North Flow-2”. EU has not clear coordination of governments on venture investment distribution in development of innovation technologies. The article is addressed to state managers, scientifc researchers, students.

Authors: Иванов А.А.
Published: July 2024

Цель данной статьи — раскрыть сущность и содержание понятия «частные активы», а также изложить ключевые направления по совершенствованию институциональной базы в сфере их формирования и обращения в российской экономике. Материалы и методы: при написании статьи была использования совокупность общенаучных и специальных методов исследования, включая контентный, статистический, эконометрический анализ, а также методы научного синтеза. Результаты. Проанализированные в статье статистические данные показывают, что несмотря на высокие темпы роста объёмов вложений в основной капитал в фактически действовавших ценах, реальный прирост инвестиций невысокий в силу влияния инфляционного фактора. Кроме этого, основные инвестиции в 2022 году были осуществлены государством и имели целевое назначение (развитие ВПК). Частные инвестиции, а, значит и частные активы, в российской экономике пока что не играют значимой роли в том числе по причине недостаточно развитой институциональной базы. Выводы: в статье предложено определение частных активов, указаны источники их формирования и направления их вложений для стимулирования устойчивого экономического роста и технологического прогресса в российской экономике.

The purpose of this article is to reveal the essence and content of the concept of "private assets", as well as to outline key directions for improving the institutional framework in the field of their formation and circulation in the Russian economy. Materials and methods: when writing the article, a set of general scientific and special research methods was used, including content, statistical, econometric analysis, as well as methods of scientific synthesis. Results. The statistical data analyzed in the article show that despite the high growth rates of investments in fixed assets in actual prices, the real increase in investments is low due to the influence of the inflationary factor. In addition, the main investments in 2022 were made by the state and had a special purpose (development of the military-industrial complex). Private investments, and hence private assets, do not yet play a significant role in the Russian economy, including due to an insufficiently developed institutional framework. Conclusions: the article proposes a definition of private assets, indicates the sources of their formation and the direction of their investments to stimulate sustainable economic growth and technological progress in the Russian economy.

Published: July 2024

В последние пять лет темпы роста внедрения инновационных технологий в Российской Федерации остались практически на том же уровне. Другими словами, ускорение темпов роста внедрения инновационных технологий в разные сферы промышленности происходит очень медленно. В работе были проанализированы различные статистические источники: как региональные, так и федеральные, и был сделан вывод, что на сегодняшний день производимые мероприятия по внедрению инновационных технологий существенно отличаются от запланированной инновационной политики. Однако инновационное развитие может являться очень сильным рычагом для экономического роста целых государств за счет большого сосредоточения социальных и экономических ресурсов. Ключевые слова: глобализация, инфраструктурные отрасли экономики, инновации, международные рейтинги, научно-техническое развитие, государственное управление, модернизация национальной экономики.

In the past five years, the growth rate of innovative technologies in the Russian Federation has remained almost at the same level. In other words, the acceleration of the growth rate of the introduction of innovative technologies in different spheres of industry is very slow. Various statistical sources were analyzed in the work: both regional and federal, and it was concluded that today the measures taken to introduce innovative technologies are significantly different from the planned innovation policy. However, innovative development can be a very strong lever for the economic growth of entire states due to a large concentration of social and economic resources.
THE BURIAL WITH BRONZE PLATES DATING TO THE FINAL STAGE OF THE PRE-SCYTHIAN PERIOD FROM ZAYUKOVO-3 CEMETERY
Authors: Кадиева А.А. , Вальчак С.Б. , Демиденко С.В.
Published: July 2024

Статья посвящена публикации коллективного погребения 79 первой половины VII в. до н. э. на могильнике Заюково-3. Погребение содержало останки трех погребенных. Погребальный инвентарь включает: крестовидную подвеску, подвески в виде капли и головы барана и керамический кубок. Такой инвентарь в западной кобанской археологической культуре характерен для киммерийской эпохи (конец VIII - первая половина VII в. до н. э.). Однако часть инвентаря характерна для более поздней эпохи походов скифов в Закавказье. Это прозрачные зеленые и мелкие глухие белые бусы. Особое внимание привлекают четыре панцирные пластины, не имеющие аналогий среди предметов защитного снаряжения Восточной Европы ни в киммерийский, ни в скифский периоды. Таким образом, погребение 79 представляет собой комплекс, маркирующий переходный этап между классическим и поздним этапом западной кобанской археологической культуры.

This paper publishes multiple grave 79 from the first half of the 7th century BC at the Zayukovo-3 cemetery. The grave contained remains of three individuals. The grave goods comprised a cross-shaped pendant, pendants shaped as a drop and a ram head as well as a ceramic cup. Such grave goods in the western Koban archaeological culture are characteristic of the Cimmerian period (end of the 8th - first half of the 7th centuries BC). However, some funerary goods are typical for a later period of Scythian military campaigns in the Trans-Caucasus. These are transparent green and small opaque white beads. Of particular interest are four armor plates that have no analogies among protective gear in eastern Europe either in the Cimmerian or Scythian periods. Therefore, grave 79 is a complex that serves as a marker of the transition from the classical period to the later period of the western Koban archaeological culture.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POPULATION INHABITING THE SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEASTERN COASTLINE OF THE ABRAU PENINSULA IN THE 7th-2nd CENTURIES BC
Authors: Малышев А.А. , Новичихин А.М.
Published: July 2024

Археологические древности населения п-ва Абрау (предгорья Черноморского побережья Северного Кавказа) - синдов, керкетов и торетов - имеют много общего и поэтому обычно рассматривались обобщенно. Вместе с тем имеющиеся в нашем распоряжении данные о природно-географических особенностях региона, распространении археологических памятников VIII-II вв. до н. э. и особенностях материальной культуры позволяют выделить три локальных варианта и проследить развитие этнополитической ситуации в регионе в этот период.

Archaeological antiquities associated with the population of the Abrau peninsula (northern Caucasus piedmont area on the Black Sea coastline) such as the Sindi, the Cercetae and the Toreatae share many common features and for this reason have been analyzed collectively. At the same time, available data on the natural and geographical characteristics of the region, distribution of archaeological sites dating to the 8th-2nd centuries BC and specific traits of the material culture can be used to single out three local variants and trace development of the ethnopolitical situation during this period.
A NEW FIND OF ‘LEAD’ PIECES AT THE CHAYKA FORTIFIED SETTLEMENT IN NORTHWESTERN CRIMEA: THE ATTRIBUTION OF CHERSONESE COIN-LIKE PIECES REVISITED
Authors: Попова Е.А.
Published: July 2024

В 2019 г. на городище «Чайка» в Северо-Западном Крыму был найден свинцовый кружок с изображениями букрания с гирляндой на л. с. и Гермеса в пе-тасе вправо на о. с. Дата - не позднее третьей четверти II в. до н. э. Назначение свинцовых монетовидных знаков является предметом дискуссии исследователей: тессеры или монеты. Значительное количество экземпляров свинцов типа букра-ний-Гермес позволяет предположить, что они служили мелкими разменными монетами экстраординарного выпуска во время экономического кризиса в Херсонесе. На свинцах использованы сюжеты, встречающиеся в нумизматике Херсонеса. Отсутствие названия города на свинцах как аргумент против монетного характера свинцов опровергается отсутствием его на медных монетах мелких номиналов II в. до н. э. Находка на городище «Чайка» подрывает аргумент в пользу назначения свинцов как тессер и их распространения лишь на ближней хоре Херсонеса. Можно предположить, что свинцы типа букраний-Гермес выпускались как разменные монеты из-за недостатка меди во время кризиса херсонесской экономики.

In 2019 a round lead piece featuring a bucranium with a garland on the obverse and Hermes wearing a petasos and facing right on the reverse was found at the Chayka fortified settlement in northwestern Crimea. It dates to the period not later than the third quarter of the 2nd century BC. The purpose of the lead coin-like pieces has been debated among the researchers and these coin-like pieces are seen as tesserae or coins. A great number of the lead pieces of the ‘bucranium-Hermes’ type suggest that they were used as small coins from the extraordinary issue of coins during the economic crisis in Chersonese. The lead pieces display narrative scenes common in Chersonese numismatics. The fact that there is no name of the issuing city on the lead pieces does not apply as an argument against their use as coins because small copper coins of the 2nd century BC do not exhibit the name of the city either. This find at Chayka undermines the argument that the lead pieces were used as tesserae and, moreover, only in the nearby chora of Chersonese. Presumably, the lead pieces of the ‘bucranium-Hermes’ type were issued as small coins because of copper shortage during the crisis of the Chersonese economy.
ONE POSSIBLE LITERARY SOURCE OF ENAMEL PAINTING ON A GLASS VESSEL FROM THE NEAR EAST
Authors: Столярова Е.К.
Published: July 2024

Статья посвящена поиску литературного источника эмалевой росписи, нанесенной на средневековые ближневосточные стеклянные стаканы конической формы. Изображение включает двух мужчин среди высоких кустов на берегу водоема и пролетающих над ними птиц, опоясывающих орнаментальным фризом венчик стакана (рис. 1). До недавнего времени сосуды с подобной росписью датировались втор. пол. или третьей четв. XIII в. Недавно сосуды этой группы пополнил фрагмент из Ярославля (рис. 2), датированный домонгольским временем. Предполагается, что эти изображения являются иллюстрацией некоего неизвестного литературного произведения. По нашему мнению, таким произведением была восточная притча о воздушном путешествии, в которое отправилась черепаха с помощью двух птиц. Отсутствие на стаканах изображения черепахи и увеличение количества птиц предположительно может объясняться тем, что художники, не зная, иллюстрацией какого литературного произведения является создаваемая ими роспись, позволяли себе вносить в изображение изменения по своему усмотрению и на свой вкус.

The paper attempts to seek a source of enamel painting made on medieval conical glass tumblers of Near Eastern origin. The decorative band beneath the tumbler rim depicts two men standing in tall bushes on a shore of a waterpool and birds flying over them (Fig. 1). Until recently vessels with such painting have been dated to the second half or the third quarter of the 13th century. Not long ago a fragment from Yaroslavl (Fig. 2) dating to the pre-Mongol period was included into the group of such vessels. Presumably, the depicted narrative scenes are illustrations of some literary work. We believe that it was an oriental fable about a tortoise which travelled by air carried by two birds. Absence of the tortoise on the glasses and a greater number of the birds may, probably, mean that the painters did not know what literary work was to be illustrated and, for this reason, felt free to make changes in the painting at their own discretion based on their preferences.
Comparative analysis of continuous similarity measures for compound identification in mass spectrometry-based metabolomics
Authors: Dlugas Hunter , Zhang Xiang , Kim Seongho
Published: July 2024

In mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomics, compound identification relies on Liquid Chromatography-MS (LC-MS) and Gas Chromatography-MS (GC-MS). The most popular and efficient approach for this purpose is the comparison of similarity scores between experimental spectra and reference spectra. Among the various single and composite similarity measures, the Cosine Correlation is widely favored due to its simplicity, efficiency, and effectiveness. Recently, the Shannon Entropy Correlation has shown superior performance over several other measures, including the Cosine Correlation, in LC-MS-based metabolomics, particularly concerning receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and false discovery rates. However, previous comparisons did not consider the weight factor transformation, which is critical for achieving higher accuracy with the cosine correlation. This study conducted a comparative analysis of the Cosine Correlation and Shannon Entropy Correlation, incorporating the weight factor transformation during preprocessing. Additionally, we developed a novel entropy correlation measure, the Tsallis Entropy Correlation, which offers greater versatility than the Shannon Entropy Correlation. Our results indicate that the weight factor transformation is essential for achieving higher accuracy in both LC-MS and GC-MS-based compound identification. While the Tsallis Entropy Correlation outperforms the Shannon Entropy Correlation, it is also more computationally expensive. The Cosine Correlation, when combined with the weight factor transformation, achieves the highest accuracy and the lowest computational expense, demonstrating its robustness and efficiency in MS-based compound identification.
ROSHAMBO: Open-Source Molecular Alignment and 3D Similarity Scoring
Authors: Atwi Rasha , Wang Ye , Sciabola Simone , Antoszewski Adam
Published: July 2024

Efficient virtual screening techniques are critical in drug discovery for identifying potential drug candidates. We present an open-source package for molecular alignment and 3D similarity calculations optimized for large-scale virtual screening of small molecules. This work parallels widely used proprietary tools and offers an approach complementary to structure-based virtual screening. Our package employs the PAPER software for optimizing molecular alignments based on Gaussian volume overlaps. GPU acceleration is utilized to significantly reduce computational time and resource requirements. After obtaining the optimal alignments between the target and the query molecules, both shape and color (based on pharmacophore features) scores are computed to assess molecular similarity, with aligned molecules optionally being output in sdf format. The package was benchmarked using the DUDE-Z public datasets. Results demonstrated the package's near-state-of-the-art performance and robustness across multiple target classes, with speed that enables many routine ligand-based drug discovery workflows. As an open-source and freely available resource (github.com/molecularinformatics/roshambo) with both a convenient Python API and command line interface, our package also addresses the need for accessible and efficient virtual screening tools in drug discovery.
Probing Cold Sintering-Regulated Interfaces and Integration of Polymer-in-Ceramic Solid-State Electrolytes
Authors: Nie Bo , Sun Hongtao
Published: July 2024

Solid-state batteries (SSBs) have recently been revived to increase energy density and eliminate safety concerns of current Li-ion batteries that use flammable liquid electrolytes. However, fabricating solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) faces many challenges, particularly the lack of effective methods to integrate reactive and sensitive solid ceramic conductors and address interfacial issues. To overcome these challenges, we introduce a cold sintering process (CSP) to integrate dissimilar conducting materials into polymer-in-ceramic (PIC) composite SSEs under external stress and mild heating conditions. Specifically, a NASICON phase Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP)-based composite SSEs were co-sintered, resulting in well-distributed polymer-in-ionic liquid gel (PILG) along the ceramic boundaries. Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), we monitored real-time impedance during the CSP, revealing the effect of the transient liquid on boundary formation in the PIC composite. The cold sintering-regulated composite structure demonstrated excellent charge transport capabilities. For example, it achieved a room temperature ionic conductivity of 4.2×10-4 S cm-1 and was able to reversibly transport Li+ for hundreds of hours. Additionally, the co-sintering of multi-layered Li metal SSBs (e.g., LiFePO4-PILG||LATP-PILG|PILG||Li) reduced interface resistance, thereby exhibiting stable cycling.
Mastering the Use of Nanoprobes Beamlines for Electrochemistry: The Importance of Tracking Radiation Damage and Exploring Material Heterogeneity
Authors: Fernandez Pablo , Vicente Rafael , Neckel Itamar
Published: July 2024

Electrochemistry plays a crucial role in addressing energy transition challenges, with synchrotron radiation (SR) significantly enhancing the understanding of electrochemical systems. SR's importance has grown with the advent of fourth-generation synchrotron facilities, which offer specialized beamlines for spatially-resolved studies of nanomaterials. These facilities enable novel techniques, but also introduce challenges, especially with the need for high brilliance and potential radiation damage to samples. In addition, nanoscale spatial resolution allows detailed examination of material heterogeneity linking properties like morphology and electronic state to overall activity and, in some cases, an increase in sensitivity. However, this also raises issues of representativeness in data analysis and presentation. In this work, we discuss these two topics. First, we illustrate the importance of tracking radiation damage via control experiments in electrochemistry using fourth-generation beamlines. Then, we show the advantages/disadvantages of nanoscale analysis in enhancing XAS sensitivity, emphasizing the importance of careful data interpretation and communication to avoid misleading information.
Twist along Central C–C Bonds in a Series of Fully π-Fused Propellanes
Authors: Kato Kenichi , Tanaka Kensaku , Okada Seina , Kaneda Tomoya , Ohtani Shunsuke , Ogoshi Tomoki
Published: July 2024

Without stereogenic carbon centers, organic molecules can be chiral when they have large energy barriers for conformational inversion. In this work, conformational behaviors are investigated for a series of tricyclic propellane skeletons with increasing 6-membered-ring peripheral moieties fused with aromatic rings. According to theoretical calculations, trinaphtho[3.3.3]propellane has three vertical naphthalene rings like triptycene shape without torsion along the central C–C single bond. On the other hand, hexabenzo[4.4.4]propellane shows hexaphenylethane-like ca. 60° twist along the bond with large activation energy of 64 kcal mol−1 for twist inversion because of the high congestion caused by three 6-membered-ring loops. Indeed, the [4.4.4]propellane gives a stable pair of chiroptical enantiomers toward heating at 146 °C. By contrast, a hybrid [4.3.3]propellane exhibits fast interconversion between two twisted conformations even at −80 °C.

Published: July 2024

This article is dedicated to studying the influence of ash element distribution in the tissues of woody plants` foliar organs on the fluctuating asymmetry of leaf blades in industrial areas. The research objects are leaves of Populus balsamifera, Betula pendula, Acer negundo. The leaves were collected at the end of the 2023 growing season, with subsequent measurements of the length and width of the leaf blade and calculation of the standard deviation. The significance of differences between samples was assessed based on the results of variance analysis. Ash content determination was carried out by the dry ashing method of leaves in a muffle furnace. The obtained results confirm a direct proportional relationship between significant fluctuations in morphometric parameters as ash content increases, which can be used as an indicative method of anthropogenic pollution in industrial regions.

Published: July 2024

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) stands as one of the most prevalent complications within the initial 24 hours following surgery, potentially extending the Length of Stay (LOS) and incurring elevated financial burdens for patients in hospital settings. Aromatherapy emerges as a non-pharmacological approach for alleviating PONV symptoms. This case study aims to evaluate PONV severity and manage symptoms in neurosurgical patients utilizing a nursing process approach. Employing a case study design integrated with a nursing process approach, this study was conducted. The inclusion criteria were respondents aged 18 or older, American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) I or II classification, undergoing neurosurgery under general anaesthesia, willing to participate, conscious (GCS: 14-15), with a healthy sense of smell, and PONV scores of 1 or 2. Exclusion criteria comprised discharged or deceased patients, absence of PONV, respiratory issues like asthma/COPD, odor allergies, and severe post-surgical complications. Dropout criteria included sudden emergencies or alternative interventions during PONV assessments. Results showed 4 patients with PONV 1 scores and 6 with PONV 2 scores before aromatherapy. After aromatherapy, 6 patients had PONV 0 scores, 2 had PONV 1 scores, and 2 had PONV 2 scores. Findings underscore alterations in PONV scores pre- and post-aromatherapy administration, highlighting the potential of this evidence-based nursing intervention to enhance patient comfort and mitigate postoperative complications in neurosurgical settings.

Published: July 2024

Introduction
Influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (IAPA) has been reported in multiple cohort studies, typically in the immunocompromised host. Limited data is available from the Middle Eastern region.
Methods
This is a retrospective study conducted at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC) between January 1 2014 and March 1 2019, to describe the clinical characteristics, risk factors and outcomes of patients with influenza and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). Six hundred fifty six patients were admitted with influenza pneumonia. Data about positive cultures for Aspergillus sp. isolated from sputum, deep tracheal aspirates (DTA) or bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) or a positive aspergillus galactomannan test (GM) in serum or BAL was collected. Cases were identified based on the definitions and criteria for influenza and invasive aspergillosis suggested by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Mycoses study Group (EORTC/MSG), EORTC/MSG intensive care unit (EORTC/MSGERC ICU) Working Group, and IAPA definition.
Results
Nine patients had a positive result for Aspergillus sp. in culture or GM. Based on the EORTC/MSG criteria, 7 patients were classified as probable cases of IPA, and one as a possible case. On the other hand, only 2 patients were classified as probable cases of invasive fungal infection (IFI) based on the IAPA criteria. Only 1 out of 9 patients died. There was a preponderance of aspergillosis among immunocompromised patients.
Conclusion
Our study showed that the incidence of IPA in influenza patients was low compared to the data reported from European countries. This calls for national and regional surveillance to better understand the epidemiological variation in the regions.

Cyberbullying is a form of harassment or intimidation carried out through digital technology, such as social media, text messages, email, and websites. It is a serious issue that can have long-term effects on the victims. The impact of cyberbullying tends to be broader and more prolonged compared to traditional bullying, as anyone with internet access can witness and be influenced by such events, without spatial or temporal constraints. A high level of trauma is one of the psychological impacts experienced by victims of cyberbullying, often leading to depression, anxiety, and, in extreme cases, suicidal behavior if not handled appropriately. Meanwhile, cyberbullying perpetrators may experience perpetual guilt. Prevention and intervention in cyberbullying at schools are crucial to creating a safe and supportive learning environment. The integration of character education into the school curriculum helps create a safe and supportive learning environment where students learn to respect and collaborate with each other, directly reducing incidents of cyberbullying. This approach also involves collaboration with parents and the school community to ensure that the messages and values taught in school are reinforced at home and in students' everyday lives.Top of Form

Ketika sumber daya alam semakin langka, pengembangan sumber energi alternatif menjadi penting. Salah satu pemanfaatan energi alternatif adalah penggunaan energi biomassa, dan penelitian ini limbah tongkol jagung digunakan menjadi bahan baku biomassa. Dalam penelitian ini ukuran partikel arang adalah 50 mesh, dengan perekat K 15, 20, 25, 30, dan 35% digunakan sebagai perekat, dan perbandingan bahan bakunya adalah 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50. Briket dibuat dengan metode karbonisasi, yaitu pembakaran bahan mentah untuk mengubah bahan organik menjadi karbon dan kemudian menghilangkan bahan organik tersebut. Arang mengandung air dan zat lain yang tidak diperlukan. Penelitian ini sudah pernah dilakukan sebelumnya. yang selama ini belum dilakukan adalah pemanfaatan lem K untuk membuat briket.Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, perbandingan bahan baku 60: 40 dan lem tulang 25% menghasilkan briket kualitas terbaik dengan sifat sebagai berikut: kadar air 4,02%, kadar abu 4,84%, massa jenis 0,45 g/cm3, nilai kalor 5,649 (kal/g). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, penggunaan lem tulang sebagai bahan perekat telah terbukti kegunaannya sebagai bahan perekat, dan limbah tongkol jagung serta serbuk gergaji kayu merupakan bahan baku alternatif dalam produksi briket.

Eksperimen pada kali ini mencari bagaimana dampak konsentrasi dari suatu zat pengaktivasi dan waktu pengeringan terhadap luas permukaan juga terhadap daya serap biosorben terhadap Rhodamin B. Tahap proses penelitian ini dimulai dengan preparasi bahan baku, aktivasi, pemanasan dan analisa. Senyawa untuk aktivasi biosorben menggunakan NaOH konsentrasi yang divariasikan dan dengan variasi pengeringan 80, 110, 140, dan 170 menit. Untuk analisa luas permukaan menggunakan metilen biru. Sedangkan  analisa daya serap menggunakan Rhodamin B yang diukur dengan Spektrofotometer Uv-Vis. Penelitian ini sudah pernah dilakukan sebelumnya, yang menjadi pembeda dari penelitian sebelumnya adalah konsentrasi aktivator dan waktu pengeringan pada biosorben. Bilangan iodin terbaik didapat sebesar 448,46 mg/g. Luas permukaan tertinggi didapat sebanyak 28 x 10-7 m2/g. Daya serap biosorben terhadap metilen biru dan Rhodamin B tertinggi adalah 0,089% dan 0,65% pada konsentrasi NaOH 15% dengan waktu pemanasan 170 menit. Semakin tinggi konsentrasi maka permukaan dari biosorben semakin tipis dan mudah rapuh, yang menyebabkan sebagian pori dari biosorben rusak .

Sabun adalah senyawa natrium yang terbentuk dari asam lemak dan digunakan sebagai agen pembersih tubuh. Sabun biasanya berwujud padat, mampu menghasilkan busa, dan dapat mengandung bahan tambahan tertentu. Pentingnya, sabun dirancang sedemikian rupa sehingga tidak menyebabkan iritasi pada kulit. Proses pembuatan sabun melibatkan pengikatan asam lemak dengan alkali, seperti natrium hidroksida (NaOH), yang menghasilkan sabun padat, atau yang lebih dikenal sebagai hardsoap. Sabun padat diproduksi melalui metode cold process, tanpa pemanasan, dengan mencampurkan bahan utama berupa minyak kelapa, minyak kelapa sawit, dan minyak zaitun dengan alkali. Kemudian, ditambahkan essential oil lavender dan scrub oat ke dalam campuran tersebut. Proses selanjutnya melibatkan penggunaan hand mixer sebelum dicetak, dengan masa curing selama 2 minggu. Penelitian ini sudah pernah dilakukan sebelumnya yang belum pernah dilakukan adalah memvariasikan bahan dengan penambahan essential oil lavender dan scrub oat sebagai anti inflamasi. Analisa mutu sabun dilakukan berdasarkan SNI No.3532-2021 serta uji fisik sediaan sabun dengan parameter pengujian meliputi kadar air, alkali bebas/ asam lemak bebas, pH, stabilitas busa, dan organoleptik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kadar air sabun yaitu berkisar 3,4% -7%, asam lemak bebas berkisar 0,38%- 0,78% dan uji fisik yaitu pH berada dikisaran 9,49-10, uji stabilitas busa berada dikisaran 70,66%-79,62% dan uji organoleptik menghasilkan sediaan warna, aroma dan tekstur yang bervariasi. Dapat dilihat dari hasil penelitian ini bahwa sabun padat dengan penambahan essential oil lavender dan scrub oat dengan metode cold proces telah memenuhi standar SNI dan uji fisik yang aman dipakai Kata Kunci:Asam Lemak Bebas, Alkali, Kadar Air, Essential Oil, Ph, Sabun, Scrub Oat, Stabilitas Busa, Organoleptik
