The study of ideal/defected graphene nanosheet roughness after atomic deposition process: Molecular dynamics simulation
Authors: Hoseini Sedigheh Bigom , Sabetvand Roozbeh
Published: April 2024

In this work, a molecular dynamics (MD) approach was performed to study the surface roughness of ideal/defected graphene nanosheets after carbon atom deposition at various temperatures and pressures. In our calculations, the atomic interactions of nanostructures are based on TERSOFF and Lennard-Jones potential functions. The results show that the temperature of the simulated structure is an important parameter in the atomic deposition process, and initial temperature enlarges and intensifies the atomic deposition ratio. Numerically, by temperature increasing to 15 K, the surface roughness amplitude increases to 0.98 Å/0.83 Å after atomic deposition in ideal/defected structure. The roughness power in MD simulations converges to 0.64/0.55 in ideal/defected samples at maximum temperature. Furthermore, the pressure effects on the dynamical behavior of simulated samples were reported in our study. We conclude that, by increasing initial pressure from 0 to 2 bar, the surface roughness amplitude in ideal/defected atomic arrangements increases to 1.01 Å/0.84 Å after the deposition process, and the roughness power of simulated structures reaches a larger value. Numerically, by initial pressure setting at 2 bar, the roughness power value converged to 0.72/0.56 in ideal/defected graphene. Reported numeric results in various temperatures and pressures predicted the initial condition can be manipulated in the atomic deposition process in ideal/defected graphene nanostructures.

Authors: Mwasile Sibongile , Haabazoka Lubinda
Published: April 2024

The aim of this paper is to conduct a comparative analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the liquidity of Agora Microfinance Zambia and Microfinance Zambia within Zambia. The study was significant because it showed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the liquidity of microfinance institutions in Zambia. The study used three key proxy variables – cash ratio, quick ratio and net working capital ratio – to identify the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and MFI liquidity. COVID-19 was a surrogate for the pandemic during the COVID-19 pandemic period (2019-2021) and the pre-pandemic period (2017-2018). Using the Wilcoxon statistical testing tool, a hypothesis was developed to guide the investigation and perform a statistical test of the parameter estimates. The study employed a longitudinal research design and utilized data from the audited financial statements of microfinance institutions. Data were analyzed using STATA and Excel. It was found that the lockdowns imposed to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus had less impact on the liquidity of the two microfinance institutions from an economic and financial perspective. The results of this research will have implications for the policies of companies and financial institutions.
TEACHER’S ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE MOST EFFECTIVE EDUCATIONAL STRATEGIES FOR SUPPORTING INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
Authors: Ramić Armin
Published: April 2024

Inclusive education is an approach to education aimed at providing adequate support to all students regardless of their abilities in regular schools. Teachers, as the primary carriers of the educational process, often have dilemmas about what is the best way to support students with developmental disabilities in regular classrooms. In this regard, the goal of this paper is to examine teachers' attitudes on what are the best strategies for supporting students with developmental disabilities in regular schools. Additionally, I examined what teachers believe is the best way to support them in order to implement inclusive education. The sample for this research consisted of 375 teachers (294 or 78.4% females and 81or 21.6% males) from Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH). Teachers believe that the best strategy is to create positive, and motivating classroom environment followed by adapting the environment in such a way that it suits all students, and collaborative learning, or helping students to learn from each other. Teachers believe they could best be supported through the help in making Individualized Educational Programs. I conclude the paper with certain recommendations on how to improve inclusive education in BIH.
Bio–based polymers from lignin
Authors: Zhang Bowen , Qiang Guorui , Barta Katalin , Sun Zhuohua
Published: April 2024

Lignin, the most abundant natural aromatic compound on earth, offers valuable resources for the development of bio–based polymers. In recent years, a plethora of diverse polymer materials has been reported using either separated lignin or lignin–derived monomers. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary of recent achievements and compare these two well–known strategies. While utilizing lignin directly as starting materials has advantages in terms of cost–effectiveness and wider options, employing lignin–derived monomers suffer from higher costs and limited structural variety. However, the well–defined structure of lignin-derived aromatic monomers, and retention of functional group characteristics make this a promising strategy for future applications. Through this review paper, we aim to inspire more researchers in material science to focus on lignin—an intriguing and emerging carbon-neutral biomaterial.

Nowadays the studies of the urban fungal diversity with highlighting mostly macrofungal species of conservation concern is a rapidly growing field of interest. The present paper reports the first finding of the wood-inhabiting fungus Hericium coralloides (Scop.) Pers., which has been considered rare and threatened in Europe and is included in the Red List of Bulgarian fungi with Near Threatened category, in the Sofia city park Borisova gradina. The previous findings of the same species in Plovdiv and in the Sofia park Vrana together with the records of another close and threatened species of the same genus, considered as Endangered in Bulgaria, namely H. erinaceus (Bull.) Pers., in another city park of Sofia – Zapaden park, strongly suggests that both tooth fungi tend to be members of the urban mycota in Bulgaria despite their apparent rarity. This serves to prove the need to investigate currently under-utilized opportunity that cities with their distinct species assemblages present for biodiversity conservation, when they are recognized as hotspots for threatened species.

Authors: Cherneva Djeni , Yaneva Galina , Ivanov Dobri
Published: April 2024

The present study aims to examine the impact of demographic indicators gender, age, education and place of residence on the use of medicinal plants by the native population of the Northern Black Sea coast. The survey was conducted in eleven cities and nine villages between April and June 2015. The face-to-face interview technique was used and the respondents were randomly selected. The impact of demographic indicators on the respondents’ answers was assessed by calculating the correlation coefficient of Pearson (r). The results show that the majority of respondents (83.78%) used medicinal plants mainly for treatment and prevention of diseases, approximately half of them (45.95%) used them for nutrition. Respondents using medicinal plants for decoration and for business have an insignificant share (9.73% and 1.08%, respectively). From the demographic analysis of the results, a moderate influence of all four demographic indicators on the respondents’ answers was registered. The analysis of cross-links revealed that the attitude to the use of medicinal plants by women, unlike men, was not significantly influenced by age. The share of respondents from rural areas using medicinal plants for treatment and prevention of diseases was equal to those using them for nutrition, while the respondents from the cities using medicinal plants for treatment and prevention were twice more than those using them for nutrition. Regional differences were discovered comparing our data for use of medicinal plants of the local population with published data from the inland of the country.

Phenols (sometimes called phenolics) are synthesized by plants for their general defense and particularly in response to antioxidative stress. These biologically active compounds are well known to have beneficial effects on human health. The aim of the present study was to apply a fast in vitro approach to compare the antioxidant potential of yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) and thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) that were freshly collected from their natural habitat in the Rodopi Mts with some randomly selected herbs for infusion from traders in Sofia region. Ethanol extracts from yarrow and thyme plants were compared with an extract from the Chinese white tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze) used for infusion and known for its high phenolic content with antioxidant effect. The total quantity of phenols in both studied herbs varied in a close range but was 5-8 times lower than this in the white tea. The average antioxidant activity in thyme was slightly higher than in yarrow but was nearly four times lower in comparison to their activity in the white tea. Slight variations between the herbs from the Rodopi Mts and Sofia were found in the phenolic content of yarrow and thyme, and in the antioxidant activity of thyme. Significant positive correlation between the content of phenolic and antioxidant activity was observed in white tea and thyme, but not in yarrow but our in vitro approach would need to be confirmed by further in vivo analyses. Our results show that the genotype, habitat and storage conditions could influence the plant antioxidant potential and that it is likely that the Bulgarian herbs contain additional classes of metabolites which determine distinct biological activities.

Published: April 2024

The paper presents results from the first application of a drone in the studies of the biodiversity of extremophilic thermal algae in Bulgaria. The drone was used to choose the sampling sites in the Marikostinovo thermal complex (South-Western Bulgaria). From the eight samples chosen in this way, totally 54 algal taxa (except diatoms) were identified. As it was expected, a comparison between species composition of the collected samples (52) and that of the cultured at room temperature material (14) showed significant difference in the registered biodiversity with only seven algae found in both types of samples. Among all algae found, 3 genera and 17 species are new for Bulgaria, 48 taxa from 22 genera are new for the Marikostinovo thermal complex, and 35 species from 9 genera are new for the thermal flora of Bulgaria. In this way, the total number of algae recorded in Bulgarian thermal waters increased from 206 to 241, from which the current biodiversity of Marikostinovo (54 taxa) comprises 29%, and the total number of algae determined in the complex during the last hundred years became 70. Four of the species found during this study were declared as threatened in the Red List of Bulgarian microalgae (two Endangered and two Near Threatened). In the same time, 40 species are potential cyanotoxin-producers, which requires further studies of Bulgarian thermal waters in this aspect. All obtained results showed the great potential of application of drones in the studies related with biodiversity of extreme and vulnerable habitats, and threatened species as well.

Authors:   Department of Aquaculture and Water Ecosystems, Institute of Fisheries and Aquaculture, 248 Vasil Levski St, 4003 Plovdiv, Bulgaria, Dochin Kostadin
Published: April 2024

The present article is an attempt to analyze the seasonal changes in the structure and the biomass of phytoplankton in fish ponds with a polyculture with two-year-old grass carp as a mean of biological control of unwanted aquatic vegetation. During a two-year study (2018-2019), 259 planktonic algae were identified with considerably higher number of species during the first year (216) in comparison with the second year (150), when the grass carp stocking densities were twice less. This decrease in the biodiversity was accompanied by a significant change in the dominant structure: in 2018, the most intense blooms were caused by potentially toxic cyanoprokaryotes Dolichospermum planctonicum (Brunnthaler) Wacklin, L. Hoffmann & Komárek and D. spiroides Klebhan) Wacklin, L. Hoffmann & Komárek L. Hoffmann & K. Sivonen, while in 2019 the most abundant species were from Pyrrhophyta (Ceratium furcoides (Levander) Langhans), Euglenophyta (Euglena gracilis G.A. Klebs) and Ochrophyta, Raphidophyceae (Gonyostomum cf. ovatum Fott and Gonyostomum depressum (Lauterborn) Lemmermann).

Four species of green algae were found on the upper surface of Fomes fomentarius (L. ex Fr.) Kickx. basidiome. Desmococcus vulgaris (represented by both vegetative cells and aplanosporangia) dominated among them. Trebouxia arboricola (represented by free-living vegetative cells and autosporangia), and two species of Stichococcus (S. bacillaris, S.minutus) were the other identified algae. It is proposed to use the term “epimycotic” (from the greek “epi”- over and “mykes” – fungus) for algae and/or other organisms capable of growing and developing on the upper surface of fungal fruiting bodies.

Las huellas de la Cantonal
Authors: Granell Xavier , Montés Jaume
Published: April 2024

This article aims to examine the reorganisation of federal republicanism during the early years of the Restoration on the basis of the discussion between Francisco Pi y Margall and Fernando Garrido regarding the concept of federalism. The analysis reveals that the fragmentation from above of the federal universe was motivated by a certain metabolisation of the cantonal revolution within the framework of the party’s redefinition process, characterised by the tension between organisational unity and ideological evolution. To this end, the article deals separately with the biographical trajectories of both leaders, outstanding figures in the democratic-republican political culture. Firstly, it conceptually analyses the two principles, that of autonomy and that of pact, on which Pi built his federal project and the way in which they contributed to isolate him from the rest of the republican currents. Secondly, it details the criticism that Garrido made of him and how, through it, the Cartagena-born leader proposed a federal republican union that was nourished by the contacts he maintained with other republicans in exile.

Este artículo pretende examinar la reorganización del republicanismo federal durante los primeros años de la Restauración a partir de la discusión que mantuvieron Francisco Pi y Margall y Fernando Garrido en torno al concepto de federalismo. El análisis demuestra que la fragmentación por arriba del universo federal estuvo motivada por una determinada metabolización de la revolución cantonal en el marco del proceso de redefinición del partido, el cual estuvo atravesado por la tensión entre unidad organizativa y evolución ideológica. Para ello, en el artículo se abordan por separado las trayectorias biográficas de ambos dirigentes, destacadas figuras de la cultura política demo-republicana. En primer lugar, se analizan conceptualmente los dos principios, el de autonomía y el de pacto, sobre los que Pi construyó su proyecto federal y el modo en el que estos contribuyeron a aislarlo del resto de las corrientes republicanas. En segundo lugar, se detalla la crítica que Garrido le realizó y cómo, a través de esta, el cartagenero propuso una unión republicana federal que se nutría de los contactos que mantuvo con otros republicanos exiliados.

Research Progress on Removal of Oxygenates in Fischer-Tropsch Oil by Adsorption
Authors: Huanhuan Wang , Nan Wang
Published: April 2024

The oxygen-containing compounds in Fischer Tropsch synthetic oil greatly affect the downstream deep processing of hydrocarbons, and effective removal is required. Compared to traditional removal technologies such as hydrogenation deoxygenation, solvent extraction, and extraction distillation, adsorption deoxygenation technology has the advantages of low cost, mild operating conditions, easy removal and recovery, and minimal impact on oil quality. Therefore, adsorption deoxygenation technology has devel‐ oped rapidly in various removal processes and has become a research hotspot in the current Fischer Tropsch oil deoxygenation. Adsorbents are the core of adsorption deoxygenation technology. Therefore, this article briefly introduces the adsorption mechanism and summarizes the research progress of adsorbents widely used in recent years, such as silica gel, alumina, molecular sieves, and metal organic frameworks, in adsorbing oxygen-containing compounds in Fischer Tropsch synthetic oils. And provide reference suggestions for further adsorption and deoxygenation directions in the future.

Objective: To explore and analyze the clinical efficacy of Chinese medicine combined with acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of insomnia. Method: 80 patients with primary insomnia were selected as the study sample, with 20 cases randomly selected as the control group and the rest as the observation group. The control group was treated with ordinary western medicine, while the observation group patients were treated with traditional Chinese medicine combined with acupuncture and moxibustion based on this syndrome differentiation. The comparison items were treatment effect, sleep quality, mental health, quality of life, specific sleep indicators, cerebral blood flow and neurotransmitters. Result: The treatment effectiveness showed that the observation group had a higher treatment effectiveness rate than the control group (P<0.05); The results of sleep quality showed that after treatment, the scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group in seven dimensions: sleep quality, sleep time, sleep onset time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorders, hypnotic drugs, and daytime dysfunction score (P<0.05); The quality of life results showed that after treatment, the observation group had higher scores than the control group in eight dimensions: physiological function, physiological function, physical pain, health status, energy, social function, emotional function, and mental health (P<0.05); The results of slow wave sleep time and fast eye movement sleep time showed that after treatment, the HAMA and HAMD scores of the physiological mechanism in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05); The results of cerebral blood flow and neurotransmitter indicators show that after treatment, glutamate γ- the peak systolic blood flow velocity of aminobutyric acid, vertebral artery, and basilar artery in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The clinical treatment of Chinese medicine combined with acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of insomnia patients can significantly improve the clinical treatment effect, and improve the cerebral hemorrhage and neurotransmitter status of patients, promote the improvement of their physical and mental status, can more significantly improve the quality of sleep, reduce sleep difficulties, reduce the dosage of sleeping pills, which has important clinical application value.

Published: April 2024

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes mellitus, malignant tumours and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as typical chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), have increasingly become the major factors threatening the health of Chinese residents. In view of this, this study aimed to deeply analyse the key indicators and their interrelationships affecting the health status of the population, using the eight dietary balance criteria proposed in the newly revised Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents of the Chinese Society of Nutrition to screen and process the relevant health indicators. By constructing a comprehensive evaluation model and visualising the data, this study reveals the irrational factors in residents' dietary habits, such as high-fat diet and excessive alcohol consumption, which pose potential risks to residents' health. In addition, this paper explores the relationship between residents' dietary habits, exercise frequency and healthy body weight, aiming to provide a scientific basis and practical guidance for improving public health.
Investissement, mot magique mais mot piège
Authors: Merlet Michel
Published: April 2024

Tous semblent reconnaître le besoin de plus d’investissements dans l’agriculture pour lutter contre la faim dans le monde et accélérer le développement rural. Mais l’investissement dont on parle, celui que l’on voudrait « responsable », est celui des fonds de pension, des firmes transnationales de l’agrobusiness, des riches entrepreneurs du Sud ou du Nord et non celui des petits producteurs qui ont pourtant depuis toujours aménagé et amélioré les sols, construit des systèmes d’irrigation, sélectionné les variétés végétales et animales. L’emploi du mot investissement ne cacherait-il pas une vaste entreprise de désinformation destinée à servir les intérêts de quelques-uns en leur permettant de s’approprier ou d’accaparer des ressources essentielles de la planète?

Then and Now: On Activating Sikh Visual and Material Culture at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA)
Authors: Vigo Laura
Published: April 2024

A museum’s relevance must lie in its ability to inspire reflections on the works it contains, fostering and cherishing a plurality of interpretations. The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts has been exploring new avenues of interpretation, rejecting the idea of an exhaustive overview of the arts of the world’s various regions in the manner of the so-called universal museums of the nineteenth century. From the multitude of realities its art collections embody and the histories they index, nodes of encounter and entanglement emerge, the so-called space “in between,” from which new visions arise. Within this new epistemic framework, the museum recently welcomed The Kapany Collection of Sikh Art, a new gallery dedicated to historical and contemporary Sikh Art, part of a commitment to render the museum into a space receptive to the shifting plurality of voices that comprise our ever-changing Canadian society. The Kapany Collection presented a timely opportunity to re-think conventional museological approaches and offer new perspectives to Sikh art and art in general, incorporating

Sikhi as a meaningful curatorial praxis and prompting contemporary diasporic artists to weave new histories from within.
