Here, we approach the issue of ACC ultrastructure by applying a method for determining atomically resolved structures of amorphous materials using Monte Carlo simulations constrained by both X-ray and neutron scattering data. This structural analysis approach allows us to develop a detailed model for ACC at the atomic level. Our findings reveal that synthetic ACC, rapidly precipitated at high pH, consists of two-nanometer sized units containing a high degree of near range order similar to partially disordered nano-crystals. Small-angle scattering analyses show a multi-scale hierarchical organisation of the structure, supportive of a multi-step colloid self-assembly process. Computer simulations and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy show that the mesostructure of ACC resembles that of a glassy gel with crystalline material in domains. Our findings support the formation of ACC by a nanoparticle aggregation process that likely starts from prenucleation clusters in solution.

Green Preparation of High Surface Area Cu-Au Bimetallic Nanostructured Materials by Co-Electrodeposition in a Deep Eutectic Solvent
Authors: Mayoral Elena Plaza , Sebastián Pascual Paula , Dalby Kim Nicole , Degn Jensen Kim , Chorkendorff Ib , Falsig Hanne , Escudero-Escribano María
Published: March 2021

In this work we present an electrodeposition method in a deep eutectic solvent (DES) to prepare bimetallic high surface area nanostructures of Cu and Au with tunable structure and composition. The metal electrodeposition performed in green choline chloride within a urea deep eutectic solvent allows us to tailor the size, morphology and elemental composition of the deposits. We combine electrochemical methods with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) to characterize the electrodeposited nanostructured materials. We assess the increase of the electroactive surface area through the analysis of the lead underpotential deposition (UPD) on the prepared films. We observe a 5 to 15-fold increase of the active surface area compared to flat surfaces of polycrystalline Cu or Au. Our work reports, for the first time, a green route for the electrodeposition of Cu-Au bimetallic nanostructures in a deep eutectic solvent.
Are All Single Atoms Created Equal? Surface Density Dependent Catalytic Activity of Single Pd Atoms Supported on Ceria

Published: March 2021

The analogy between single atom catalysts (SACs) and molecular catalysts predicts that the specific catalytic activity of these systems is constant. We provide evidence that this prediction is not necessarily true. As a case in point, we show that the specific activity over ceria5 supported single Pd atoms linearly increases with metal atom density, originating from the cumulative enhancement of lattice oxygen mobility. The long-range electrostatic fingerprints (~1.5 nm) around each Pd site overlap with each other as surface Pd density increases, resulting in the observed deviation from constant specific activity. These cooperative effects exhaust previously active O atoms above a certain Pd density, leading to their permanent 10 removal and consequent drop in reaction rate. The findings of our combined experimental and computational study show that the specific catalytic activity of reducible oxide-supported single atom catalysts can be tuned by varying the surface density of single metal atoms.
Bacterial Meningitis Following Spinal Anaesthesia for Caesarean Section: Rare but nearly catastrophic
Authors: Arzoo Chadha  , Neema S Acharya  , Sourya Acharya  , Pankaj Banode  , Kirti Singh
Published: March 2021

Bacterial meningitis is a disease with a potentially catastrophic outcome requiring immediate diagnosis and intervention. Bacteria can use several routes for migration into the intrathecal space. Lumbar puncture circumvents the normal central nervous system defence barrier and thus carries the potential for infection to be spread to the meninges. In sporadic cases, meningitis can occur, albeit very serious despite the meticulous aseptic techniques. Hence, meningitis finds an important place in the differential diagnosis of post-spinal headache in patients with complaints of intense headaches, fever, sensitivity to light, incoherent behaviour or muscular rigidity in the absence of any psychological disease in the postoperative or postpartum period. It is also mandated to rule out other vital conditions in the postpartum like pre-eclampsia, which can also have similar manifestations requiring urgent intervention. Adequate care given at the right time can halt disease progression, thereby limiting the damage caused, which often at times could be irreversible. The gravity of the disease should not be undermined in any scenario. Sharp and timely diagnosis is the key to prevent any adversity. Here we have documented a case of meningitis caused by the unpremeditated introduction of bacteria following spinal anaesthesia for Caesarean section and its subsequent management.

Crisis Phenomena in the European Union Economy at the Present Stage of its Development
Authors: Sekacheva A. B.
Published: March 2021

The article reveals the main problems related to the EU economy’s state and the prospects for its further development. This topic is extremely important for Russia since the European Union is its leading foreign trade partner. The article states that the EU is the largest integration grouping globally in terms of its economic potential. Simultaneously, the lack of significant reserves of natural resources and dependence on their external supplies does not allow the EU to realize its economic opportunities fully. At the same time, the export-oriented model of the economies of its leading member countries makes them sensitive to flctuations in the conjuncture of foreign markets, and the growing public debt contributes to the development of disintegration processes. Besides, the growth of migration flws, the increase in socio-economic tensions, especially during the coronavirus period, also do not allow the EU to solve the accumulated problems. Simultaneously, excessive dependence on the United States in geopolitical and geo-economic relations hinders the development of mutually benefiial economic ties with Russia and other countries. The article presents various opinions about the future of the EU and notes that many authoritative political fiures and experts consider that due to these reasons, it cannot be preserved as a whole.
A review on biochar as a potential soil fertility enhancer to agriculture
Authors: Kandel A. , Dahal S. , Mahatara S.
Published: March 2021

Biochar is a carbon rich material produced from the pyrolysis of biomass at high temperature under oxygen deficit condition. It is recently introduced as one of the effective soil amendments with wide range of environmental benefits. This paper summarizes and discusses the effects of biochar on different soil parameters and crop productivity by reviewing scientific studies conducted around the globe. The benefit is derived especially from the improved soil physical and chemical properties through improvement in soil moisture content, soil bulk density, nitrogen uptake and availability and retention of other soil nutrients, but its effect is highly dependent on feedstocks used, pyrolysis temperature and soil types. It has been found to be more effective on infertile and degraded land. Further research is required to completely reveal the capacity of biochar in enhancing the soil characteristics.

Published: March 2021

Walking is an activity that can be easily done by many people in urban spaces even in short periods. The most common areas of walking in urban spaces are the sidewalks. In order for pedestrians to travel comfortably in these areas, acoustic comfort should be fulfilled. This study aims to seek an answer to the question of “Can accurate results be obtained by using an alternative method which is more efficient in terms of time, energy, and cost, in noise measurement studies?”. In this study, minimum and maximum noise measurements were made in three different time periods during the day on a part of D300 ring road in Selçuklu district, Konya province, Turkey. The obtained data were subjected to reliability analysis, unreliable data according to Cronbach's Alpha coefficient were not included in the calculations. The reliable data were evaluated in terms of compliance status according to the “Assessment and Management Regulations of Environmental Noise”. As a result of this study, it was determined that even the recorded minimum noise values have a very high potential in terms of exceeding the limit values stated in the related regulations. The results of this study showed that more efficient results can be obtained in terms of time, energy, and cost by the way of short-term (momentary) measurements, compared to the long-term (time-weighted) noise measurements.

Tek Millet, Religious Nationalism under Erdoganism
Authors: Sujibto B J
Published: March 2021

This article aims at examining forms and characteristics of Turkish nationalism under Erdoganism, a relatively new term which has been devoted to leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The notion of nationalism has not been the main focus on the full range of the political rhetoric and the social interactions demonstrated by Erdogan. However, generally considered as a fundamental element in Turkey's social and political development, nationalism always remains a hot topic which cannot be separated from social dynamics and society itself. For this reason, nationalism will endlessly continue to look for a dynamic form and, at the same time, becomes an instrument of the ruling to control the distribution of power. Erdoganism itself has various distinct approaches towards the narrative and development of Turkish nationalism. This research used a qualitative approach with discourse analysis method by elaborating symbols, languages, writings, and speeches demonstrated by Erdogan in the political activities. The findings of this research are expected to be able to comprehend nationalism of Erdoganism.

Authors: Mustakim Zaenal
Published: March 2021

Despite studies in the realm of Islamic education teaching has been extensively conducted, the application of Islamic education curriculum in Indonesian secondary schools receives scant academic attention from the previous researchers. To fill this void, the present exploratory case study aims to explain practices of Islamic education enacted as a nationally-mandated school subject in secondary schools and to explore to what extent the Indonesian government supports Islamic education teachers to handle this compulsory school subject. Four Islamic education teachers of junior secondary schools volunteered to participate in this research. Data were garnered through classroom observation and in-depth interviews. Framed in thematic analysis, this study reports that the syllabus, lesson plan, learning resources, classroom-based practices, and authentic assessment required thorough concern. In response to this, the government support was needed to promote the best practices, i.e. teacher professional development and provision of sufficient school facilities. To policy authorities in Indonesia, the study recommends facilitating Islamic education teachers with sustainable professional development and redesigning the government-prescribed textbooks to foster teacher creativity in their teaching and learning processes.

Published: March 2021

This study aims to understand in-depth the representation of Coastal Javanese Islam in Pekalongan with cultural approach. This approach puts Pekalongan people onto its social world center, in order to understand how they identify and interpret the world, particularly the articulation of economic activity protected by culture and mediated by Islam tenet. The research method used was qualitative one. Data was obtained through observation and in-depth interview, and analyzed descriptively, by focusing on social practice of batik business performer as the basic vehicle, meaning competition place, and contributing to Islam. The result of research shows that the role of Islam in Pekalongan social life is very strong and dominant represented in dialectical Islam with the manifestation of symbolic spiritualism. Therefore, Islam functions not merely as an effective means of solving life problem, including batik business, confirming Geertz’s argument that religion serves not merely as ethical foundation, but moral vitality source. Culture is an important power in social life. This finding declines Weber’s thesis that Islam does not have theological affinity supporting economic growth, because empirical fact in Pekalongan Indonesia shows that Islam spirituality becomes an effective means of solving business problem.

Published: March 2021

The article discusses the problem of determining the reliability and residual life of chimneys of industrial buildings, taking into account an integrated approach, which includes calculating the reliability of the "Chimney" system using the theory of graphs.

Four chimneys were considered as objects for assessment: three brick and one metal. During the inspection, typical damage to each type of structure was revealed, the results of measurements of the strength of materials and verification calculations were analyzed.

It was found that the results of calculating the residual resource of brick pipe No. 1 (the residual resource is exhausted, the structure is inoperative) is confirmed by the result of calculating the roll of the building (the roll exceeds the maximum allowable). Also, as a result of the calculation using a comprehensive methodology, the reduced reliability of metal pipes was confirmed in comparison with brick chimneys.

Authors: Ignatova Elena , Predeina Valentina
Published: March 2021

The authors consider the use of generative design technology for solving construction issues. Generative design is seen as an information technology that works with cross-cutting digital technologies including additive technologies and artificial intelligence. There are several ways to apply generative design technology to optimize the shape, structure and topology of objects. It is noted that there are just individual examples of solving architectural and constructional applied tasks using generative design technology. The problems of widespread implementation of the technology, including information modeling of construction objects (BIM), are discussed. Approaches to solving some problems of design, construction and operation with the use of generative design technology are proposed. It is concluded that generative design technology can be used in the process of information modeling of a construction object throughout its whole life cycle.

Published: March 2021

Freshmen orientation programmes are important milestones of university life. In Dentistry, orientation helps build camaraderie and friendship among the small undergraduate student enrolment. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, freshmen orientation featured overnight camps, mass games and group activities which involved face-to-face interactions. With the pandemic, precautionary measures were put in place to curb the spread of the virus. A key measure was the radical move away from face-to-face activities. This had a profound impact on the conduct of the orientation programme in Dentistry. The authors share their experiences as student organisers of a first-ever online freshmen orientation programme (involving 72 freshmen and 60 seniors), and highlight key lessons gleaned from the experience.

Dichos puntos de partida se efectúan dentro del contexto de un mundo globalizante con tendencias capitalistas, subordinando la educación superior al mercado eficientista a través de los organismos internacionales y las potencias económicas. Estos soportes del modelo hegemónico son: 1) La reforma universitaria para abandonar su tradición y asemejarse a las empresas; 2) La imposición estructural del trabajo “integral” de los profesores alargando su jornada; 3) El interés capitalista escondido en la noción tan aceptada de globalización; 4) La escasez de recursos para la educación por priorizar las empresas; y 5) La identificación entre eficiencia, verdad y justicia, tomada del éxito empresarial. Esto hace a la educación universitaria incompatible con el capitalismo.

The purpose of this study is to determine the role of anchoring bias in the economic and financial information. An experiment involving the business students is carried out by providing them information about recent economic and financial anchors about stock market, index returns, inflation and exchange rates in groups where one groups is exposed to some relevant anchors. In the first group, which is the “control group” the participants were given no relevant information and were asked to give their best estimate for all the respective indicators. In the second group the “anchoring group” participants were asked the same questions but are provided indicator anchors to deduce their anchoring estimates, for instance the current value of KSE-100 index is provided, and the respondents were asked to predict the current value of KSE-30 index. The results show that there is significant degree of anchoring bias for each of the questions and it is higher for males as compare to females. Similarly, the respondents when exposed to relevant anchors show significant anchoring bias than for irrelevant anchors. Keywords: Anchoring Bias, Relevant Anchoring, Irrelevant Anchoring, Perceived Relevance, Financial Indicators.

Koti katkaisuhoidon tilana
Authors: Holmberg Suvi , Ranta Johanna
Published: March 2021

Tässä artikkelissa kysymme, miten koti tilana tukee ja haastaa psykososiaalisesti orientoituneen katkaisuhoidon käytäntöjä. Tutkimuksen metodologinen kehys nojaa kodin maantieteen perinteeseen. Lähestymme kotia monimerkityksellisenä kulttuuristen, materiaalisten, emotionaalisten ja sosiaalisten merkitysten läpäisemänä tilana. Tutkimusaineisto on kerätty vuonna 2018 liikkuvalla etnografialla suomalaisesta kotikatkopalvelusta.  Se koostuu kahdeksalla kotikäynnillä nauhoitetusta asiakas-työntekijävuorovaikutuksesta. Tutkimus havainnollistaa, kuinka kotia merkityksellistetään paitsi asiakkaan yksityisenä tilana, myös päihdetyön toteuttamisympäristönä. Koti elementteineen ja rutiineineen luo turvallisen ja häpeältä suojaavan sekä autonomiaa ja tukea antavan tilan juomisen lopettamiselle, mutta edellyttää asiakkaalta tietoisuutta tilaan liittyvistä juomista laukaisevista tekijöistä sekä omasta vastuustaan osana kotona toteutettavaa katkaisuhoitoa.

The implementation of climate change adaptation for crop production is often ineffective among farmers due to a lack of access to climatic data and inadequate knowledge on how to use the available data. The project introduced the utilization of climate data via the Climate Smart Action "Saung Iklim" application to targeted stakeholders (i.e., agricultural extension workers and farmer representatives) designed to improve farm management. The term “Saung Iklim” originally means a place where people can learn about the use of climate information for farming activities. Therefore, strengthening stakeholders’ capacity is an essential element of "Saung Iklim", which has been conducted via a series of training activities using various modules and focus group discussions. The project selected one of the major production centres of rice in Indonesia, namely the District of Subang. The district government formed a task force named “Tim Iklim”, consisting of the targeted stakeholders, to assist the project team in delivering the targeted project outputs. The project team, in collaboration with Tim Iklim, produced the modules on utilizing simulations of crop models for managing climate risks. The involvement of the stakeholders was to accommodate their input and understanding so that the modules are ready for practical purposes. The project also equipped Tim Iklim with a dedicated website, containing crop simulation model (CSM) outputs, modules, online surveys, and forums, to facilitate information delivery on managing farm risks to climate exposures.
