Authors: Liang Xiaomeng , Christensen Jan H. , Bucheli Thomas D. , Nielsen Nikoline Juul
Published: September 2023

Phytotoxins, secondary metabolites synthesized by plants, are now recognized as a new category of environmental micropollutants. Only a limited number of phytotoxins have been detected and reported in terrestrial and aquatic environments, partially due to analytical challenges. In this article, a robust, reliable, and efficient approach, namely Source Supported Suspect Screening (4S), is introduced for high-throughput analysis of phytotoxins from their plant origin to the downstream environmental compartments. The approach was established on an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–quadrupole‑time‑of‑flight-mass spectrometry (UHPLC–ESI–QTOF-MS) analytical platform where optimal sample preparation and chromatographic conditions were investigated and a new suspect screening protocol was suggested.

Authors: Pesek Joseph J. , Matyska Maria T. , Hiltz Tanya , Takeoka Gary
Published: September 2023

An analytical HPLC method for the identification and quantification of ergothioneine (EGT) has been developed using a silica hydride-based column. A simplified sample preparation method was developed. Several types of commercially available mushrooms were analyzed for quantification of ergothioneine using a Cogent Diamond Hydride column (100 x 4.6 mm) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min, with a deionized water:acetonitrile:0.1% formic acid mobile phase using an aqueous normal phase (ANP) gradient. EGT was detected at 254 nm and was identified by matching retention times of the verified standard. The standard ergothioneine content ranged from 0.01 mg to 0.1 mg/mL with excellent linearity correlation (R2 = 0.99999). EGT recoveries were within 96.5–100.3%. The developed HPLC method was simple, accurate, reproducible, sensitive and rugged.
GC-ICP-MS for Process and Quality Control in Semiconductor Manufacturing
Authors: Geiger William M. , McCurdy Ed , Kelinske Mark
Published: September 2023

Gas chromatography (GC) coupled to inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a powerful and flexible analytical solution that is well-established for measuring organometallic compounds such as organotin, organomercury, and organolead in environmental samples, foodstuffs, and consumer products. GC–ICP-MS is also used for industrial applications, such as monitoring catalyst poisons and environmental contaminant elements in petrochemical processing and plastics manufacturing. The semiconductor industry uses a range of high-purity specialty gases and volatile liquids as precursors in wafer substrate production, and for processes such as plasma etching and deposition of thin films by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Semiconductor manufacturers are constantly developing new integrated circuit (IC) chips with smaller sizes, higher speeds, lower power consumptions, and greater transistor densities. This trend means that contaminants must be controlled at even lower levels in process chemicals and precursors. In this article, we show how GC–ICP-MS, particularly using triple quadrupole or tandem ICP-MS (ICP-MS/MS), enables determination of the lowest levels of contaminants in the specialty gases and volatile liquids used to make the most advanced electronic devices.
Using ICP-OES to Improve Lithium-Ion Battery Performance and Reduce Waste
Authors: Neubauer Ken
Published: September 2023

As the demand grows for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, their performance requirements and environmental impact increase. Battery performance strongly depends on the composition of the cathode materials, requiring precise elemental ratios. Meanwhile, disposing spent batteries can have a negative environmental impact, which can be greatly reduced through recycling. Inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) provides solutions in both of these areas. By using high-precision ICP-OES, precise measurements can be made to accurately determine compositions of a variety of different cathode materials. In battery recycling, ICP-OES meets the requirements of being a multielement technique with a wide dynamic range and the ability to handle complex matrices. Therefore, it can measure both high-concentration and impurity elements resulting from the incineration of spent batteries, providing recycling facilities information about the elements present and their levels so that recoveries can be optimized.

Authors: Asensio Javier Peinador
Published: September 2023

In this study, 48 different wild and cultivated mushrooms were purchased in local markets in Madrid and provided by trusted specialists from the Mycological Society of Madrid. Cadmium, mercury, and lead were determined by inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in samples previously digested in a microwave oven. Methylmercury (MeHg) was determined by liquid chromatography separation (HPLC) combined with ICP-MS after microwave-assisted extraction. Regarding the cadmium and lead contents, all the samples complied with the maximum permitted limits. For mercury, a single sample exceeded the maximum value established in Regulation (EU) 2018/73 for wild mushrooms. In the case of methylmercury, the highest amount represents 13% of the total mercury in one sample. In the rest of the cases, the concentration found was negligible.

Authors: Shishmonin V. S.
Published: September 2023

The article discusses the current formats of international cooperation after the start of a special military operation of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine. It is concluded that the beginning of the CSR became a catalyst for global changes, the transition of the world from a system of globalization and a rules-based order to a new system of macro[1]regions and a system of states-civilizations. The methods of discourse analysis and event analysis are used to examine global trends, among which are the curtailment of globalization processes, the gradual departure from the Jamaican monetary system, and geopolitical instability. With the help of system and intent analysis, prospective future macro-regional associations are studied: European, American, Asian, Middle Eastern, African, Eurasian. Conclusions are drawn about the future fate of the geopolitical leaders – the United States, China, Russia, and the European Union. It is summarized that the United States is in a deep political and civilizational crisis; it seems possible to «reset» this country, including in the version of a new civil war. It is said that the European Union is losing its economic and political sovereignty in favor of the United States. Russia is regarded as a civilization country with more than a thousand years of history, which takes the course of prioritizing national interests over an unfair rules-based order, which gives it the opportunity to take advantageous positions in the future system of international relations.

Studying the Dependence of Embedding Representations on the Target of NLP Tasks
Authors: Oliveira Bárbara Stéphanie Neves , da Silva Ticiana L. Coelho , de Macêdo José A. F.
Published: September 2023

In many human languages, linguistic units represent text structure. Vector semantics is used in NLP to represent these units, known as embeddings. Evaluating the learned representations is crucial for identifying critical differences between the diverse existing embedding models in task-specific selection. However, the evaluation process is complex, with two approaches: intrinsic and extrinsic. While useful, aggregated evaluations often lack consistency due to result misalignment. This work investigates the dependencies and correlations between embeddings and NLP tasks. The goal is how to initially verify if the embeddings' dimensions (i.e., features) depend on the final task. The study then explores two research questions and presents findings from experiments.

New Kid in Town: Platform Workers of the EU and Human Oversight of Automated Systems in Platform Work
Authors: Dalkilic Elvin Evrim
Published: September 2023

The era of digitalization created new forms of employment along with complicated employment statuses, where existing labour laws lag in solving legal problems. The most recent development in the European Union is the proposed Platform Work Directive (PWD) against the raising concerns about the operation of digital labour platforms and people working through these platforms. By defining people as platform workers, the PWD offers significant changes. The PWD, with a broad presumption of employment, introduces new restrictions and obligations for digital labour platforms. Among those changes, introduced as a first at the EU level, is the human oversight of automated systems’ decisions. This paper analyses the term ‘platform worker’ in line with the PWD, mainly focusing on human oversight of automated systems in platform work.

PATH FINDING OF STATIC INDOOR MOBILE ROBOT VIA AOR ITERATIVE METHOD USING HARMONIC POTENTIALS
Authors: Ahmad Dahalan A`qilah , Saudi Azali , Sulaiman Jumat
Published: September 2023

Mobile robots often have to discover a path of collision-free towards a specific goal point in their environment. We are trying to resolve the mobile robot problem iteratively by means of numerical technique. It is built on a method of potential field that count on the use of Laplace’s equation in the mobile robot’s configuration space to constrain/which reduces the generation of a potential function over regions. This paper proposed an iterative approach in solving robot path finding problem known as Accelerated Over-Relaxation (AOR). The experiment shows that these suggested approach can establish a smooth pat between the starting and goal points by engaging with a finite-difference technique. The simulation results also show that a more rapidly solution with smoother path than the previous work is achieved via this numerical approach.

Assessment of instructors by students is needed for assessing the teaching quality of a lecturer towards achieving the objectives of a course. This paper aims to examine the techniques used in sentiment analysis for assessing the effectiveness of a lecturer’s or a teacher’s teaching style in the learning process at a university or school. In addition, the effectiveness of sentiment analysis techniques in assisting the teaching evaluation process is also discussed. The challenges for assessing the quality of teaching of National Defence University of Malaysia (UPNM)lecturers are also discussed in this paper. The sentiment analysis technology is capable of analysing views or opinions on a matter, regardless of whether they are positive or negative. Data from the sentiment analysis can be used by specific parties or anyone else to rectify any weakness or to improve any aspect that the user commented on. The purpose of this study is not to find the weakness of the lecturer, but rather the results of this assessment process can be useful to the management for rectifying weaknesses and for improving the teaching process.

This paper reports on the newly found ferroelectric material, Ag2Nb4O11 ceramics synthesised using solid state reaction and characterised its properties using X-ray powder diffraction, ferroelectric test and impedance spectroscopy. However, the synthesis of phase-pure Ag2Nb4O11 ceramics was unsuccessful due the presence of other phases such as AgNbO3, Ag metal and un-reacted Nb2O5 raw material. The inhomogeneity of the sample was clearly seen in impedance measurement which showed electrical inhomogeneity of bulk and grain boundary capacitances. Difficulties in obtaining phase-pure Ag2Nb4O11 ceramics has motivated an investigation on the purity and thermal stability of Ag2O raw material. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that Ag2Nb4O11 consist of Ag2Nb4O11, AgNbO3, Ag metal and un-reacted raw material. Studies on Ag2O raw material was carried out by heating and weighing it after each different temperature. Weight loss observed at temperatures 120oC, 270oC and 400oC correspond to the loss of water and the decomposition of Ag2O to Ag metal. In this study, the Ag2O used was mostly contained Ag metal than the Ag2O. The instability nature of Ag2O at high temperature may contribute to the difficulties in obtaining phase pure Ag2Nb4O11 product.

16. yüzyıl başlarında Portekizlilerin deniz ticareti yolu ile sınırlı olarak sürdürdüğü Afrika sömürgesi 19. yüzyılda Avrupa’da hızla yükselen sanayileşme ile küresel ölçekte yeni bir sömürge ve kölelik sisteminin kurulmasına yol açtı. Batılı devletlerin sahaya girmesi ile büyük güçleri bir araya getirmek için Alman Şansölyesi Otto von Bismarck’ın çağrısı ile 15 Kasım 1884 – 26 Şubat 1885 tarihleri arasında “Berlin Kongo Konferansı” düzenlendi. Yüz üç gün süren konferansta yapılan pazarlıklarla Afrika kıtasının sömürge sınırları çizildi. Avrupalı misyonerler, gezginler, arkeologlar, gönüllü hekimler, tüccarlar daha önce kıtanın derinliklerine yaptıkları keşiflerle sömürgeciliğin alt yapısını hazırladılar. Topraklarını genişletmek ve küresel güç olmak isteyen Batılı devletler konferanstan üç ay sonra yurtlarından göç ettirilen Afrika yerlilerini, ABD ve Avrupa’ya taşıdılar. Köleleştirilen Afrikalılar soykırıma uğradı ve toprakları Avrupalı kolonilere paylaştırıldı. Bu çalışmada, Batılı sömürgeci devletlerin Afrika kıtasında uyguladığı köle ticareti, sömürge ve soykırım geçmişi incelenmiştir.

Türk edebiyatının en çok şair ve yazar yetiştirdiği dönemlerinden biri de 19. yüzyıldır. Bu dönemde hem daha önceki yüzyıllardan gelen birikim hem de Batı’dan alınan yeni tür ve şekillerde çok sayıda şiir kaleme alınmıştır. İbrahim Edhem de 19. yüzyılda yetişmiş şairlerden biridir. Tezkirelerde ve dönemin biyografik kaynaklarında hakkında herhangi bir bilgiye tesadüf edilemeyen şairin son dönem mecmualarında da ismine veya şiirlerine rastlanmamıştır. Şahsî kütüphanemizde yer alan ve şairin oğlu Mehmed Bahâeddîn tarafından telif edilen mecmuadaki az sayıda şiirinden divan şiirinin son dönem temsilcilerinden olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Şairin mecmuada yer alan şiirleri de oğlu tarafından yazılmıştır. Mezkûr mecmuada oğlu Mehmmed Bahâeddîn tarafından kaleme alınmış manzum bir mektupta yer alan ifadelerden anlaşıldığı kadarıyla şairin memleketi, o devir Sivas sınırları içerisinde bulunan bugün ise Giresun şehrine bağlı Karahisâr-ı Şarkî/Şebinkarahisar’dır.

Mecmuanın zahriyesinde bulunan temellük kaydına göre İbrahim Edhem’in mesleği kâtipliktir. Eğitim için oğlu Mehmed Bahâeddîn’i İstanbul’a gönderdiği anlaşılan babanın bu ayrılıktan dolayı derin hasret ve üzüntü çektiği de manzum mektuptan öğrenilmektedir. Bu çalışmada İbrahim Edhem ile ilgili mecmua vesilesiyle ulaşılan sınırlı bilgilere yer verilecektir. Ardından şairin mecmuada yer alan dört şiiri transkripsiyonlu bir şekilde Latin harflerine aktarılacaktır. Bu vesileyle biyografik kaynaklarda zikredilmemiş bir şairin şiirleri edebiyat tarihine kazandırılacak ve araştırmacıların istifadesine sunulacaktır.

The development of nanotechnology for the treatment of parasitic diseases is still in its infancy. However, it is expected that this new field can provide a solution to parasitic diseases and compensate for the lack of vaccines to prevent them. It can also provide new treatment options for parasitic diseases resistant to current treatments. Nanomaterials have been developed for antibacterial and anticancer therapies. However, it is important to determine their antiparasitic potential due to the wide variety of their physicochemical properties. When designing metallic nanoparticles (MeNPs) and specialized nanosystems like MeNPs encapsulated within a drug shell, it is essential to consider several key physicochemical properties. Shape, size, surface charge, and type of surfactant control are some of these physicochemical properties. In addition to interacting with parasite cells’ target molecules, shell molecules are also important. By developing antiparasitic drugs using nanotechnology and nanomaterials for diagnostics, new and effective methods of treatment and diagnostic tools for poultry diseases are expected to be available in the future to enhance poultry disease prevention and reduce morbidity and mortality rates.
The Diagnostic Value Of Serum Glypican-3 In The Diagnosis Of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis
Authors: MD, MSc Arinze I. Aninworie,
Published: September 2023

Background and aim: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It is curable in the early stages but has a poor prognosis when advanced. Current diagnostic protocols for the early stages of HCC are inefficient. Serum Glypican-3 (GPC-3) is a promising serum tumour marker in diagnosing HCC, and its diagnostic value has been explored in various studies. The outcomes, however, continue to be inconsistent and controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of serum GPC-3 in hepatocellular carcinoma. This study included recent papers not captured in previous meta-analyses. Method: PUBMED, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL databases were systematically searched according to preferred reporting items for a systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies guidelines. Studies on the diagnostic accuracy of serum GPC-3 in HCC were selected. The Quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies 2 (QUADAS-2) tools were used to assess the quality of selected studies. Sensitivity, specificity, and other diagnostic parameters were pooled using the random effect model. The Summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) was used to summarise the diagnostic accuracy of Serum GPC-3. Results: Eleven studies were included in this systematic review. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were 0.60 (0.57-0.62) and 0.67(0.64-0.70), respectively. The pooled positive and negative likelihood ratios and 95% CIs were 2.11 (1.51-2.93) and 0.59 (0.51-0.68), respectively; the pooled diagnostic odds ratio and the 95% CI were 4.07 (2.37-6.98), the area under the sROC curve was 0.7194. Conclusion: This meta-analysis has shown that Serum GPC-3 has an acceptable diagnostic value in diagnosing HCC compared to benign chronic liver diseases. A higher-quality study with a larger sample size is necessary to thoroughly assess the diagnostic utility of serum GPC-3.
