Corpo celeste
Authors: Vancheri Luc
Published: November 2024

Premier long-métrage d’Alice Rohrwacher, Corpo celeste (2011) a fait de son principal protagoniste, Marta, le témoin d’un monde chrétien théologiquement centré sur la Passion et la Résurrection du Sauveur. D’abord curieuse et de bonne volonté, Marta ira de déception en révolte pour finalement refuser la confirmation à laquelle elle s’était préparée. En mobilisant un vaste répertoire théologique, Corpo celeste suscite des questions nouvelles pour l’analyse cinématographique. Comment passe-t-on du « miracle » auquel assiste Marta aux conversations sur l’âme de saint Augustin avec Evodius ? De la gifle de confirmation que lui donne Santa à la doctrine du Saint-Esprit ? Ou bien encore d’une recette de calmars farcis au poisson-Christ et à l’Eucharistie ? Un entretien avec Alice Rohrwacher, en postface à cette étude, permet d’aller au cœur de cette démarche poétique et intellectuelle originale.
Questions de cinéma et pratique de l’analyse de film
Authors: Esquenazi Jean-Pierre
Published: November 2024

Chaque film à sa manière nous apprend le cinéma : les questions que le réalisateur et son équipe se sont posées affleurent dans le récit, elles émergent de l’enchaînement des images et des sons. Pour qui veut bien s’y montrer attentif, un film peut devenir, non pas un manuel, mais un guide. Cet ouvrage suit à la trace cinq questions posées par cinq films ou ensembles de films, des questions que ces œuvres se posent d’abord à elles-mêmes. La mise en scène en est profondément marquée : la pratique de l’analyse de film devient dans cette perspective – au-delà du plaisir que l’on peut prendre à redécouvrir, explorer, ausculter parfois un film qu’on a aimé – un instrument de réflexion sur le cinéma, sur des problèmes propres à l’art cinématographique.
Fatima de Philippe Faucon
Authors: Vancheri Luc
Published: November 2024

Deux semaines après avoir obtenu le César du meilleur film pour Fatima, Philippe Faucon et Soria Zeroual étaient les invités de l’émission de télévision, On n’est pas couché. Alors que tous se demandaient si le choix de l’Académie des arts et techniques du cinéma n’avait pas été dicté par de mauvaises raisons, Léa Salamé commença par suggérer que la force réaliste du film pouvait être un obstacle à sa candidature artistique avant de conclure que Fatima était un film sans art. Luc Vancheri ne s’est pas donné pour tâche de réparer un tort, la critique a fait bon accueil au film, il a en revanche cherché à retrouver les problèmes esthétiques et philosophiques qui rééclairent les situations narratives et les choix de mise en scène d’un film qui ne saurait se réduire à sa question sociale.
Le regard panoptique et l’art surveillance : esthétique et politique du contournement
Authors: GHASSEMI Mehdi , LAGOS Camila PÉREZ
Published: November 2024

Cet article examine le « regard » comme un élément essentiel des pratiques de surveillance, ainsi que les manières dont il est conceptualisé et représenté par la littérature scientifique et l’« art surveillance ». Pour ce faire, nous retraçons d’abord le lien entre le regard et le pouvoir depuis la théorisation foucaldienne sur la surveillance, d’après laquelle le pouvoir est intimement corrélé à une capacité de dominer le champ du visible. Ensuite, nous étudions un terrain artistique de 40 expériences d’« art surveillance » produites après les années 2000. L’analyse montre que les artistes, qui prétendent tout voir, trouvent davantage des points de fissure au cœur d’un regard panoptique. Ils cherchent à dénoncer un regard surveillant tout en rendant visible leur matérialité technique, notamment, par l’utilisation de caméras, des logiciels de reconnaissance faciale, et par la collecte de données de géolocalisation. Ces expérimentations remettent au cœur des discussions le rapport de pouvoir induit automatiquement lors d’un contexte de surveillance constante.
La netnographie d’une communauté en ligne en lutte contre la « censure » sur un forum français populaire
Authors: PERIA Olivier
Published: November 2024

Au travers de l’étude du cas d’un forum français populaire, cet article vise à comprendre comment la modération des discours est reçue, critiquée et contrée par la cybercommunauté et, en particulier, sa fraction la plus visible et la plus virulente, largement influencée par et liée à la « fachosphère ». Ainsi, l’article contribue à la réflexion critique autour des moyens et des techniques de régulation des discours sur les plateformes de réseaux sociaux, ainsi qu’autour des stratégies d’évitement et de contournement de ces techniques mises en œuvre par une diversité d’acteurs visant à subvertir de l’intérieur les espaces publics des « sociétés ouvertes ». Après avoir démontré l’idéologie victimaire développée sur le forum, nous discutons des stratégies de contournement efficaces mises en œuvre par la communauté face à la censure et la façon dont celles-là contribuent à développer une identité collective et un sentiment d’appartenance au groupe face à des altérités ennemies. Enfin, il est démontré que la censure peut pousser des membres de la communauté à migrer vers des espaces moins surveillés.
Entrepreneurial ecosystems as narratives
Authors: Silva João Paulo Moreira , Guimarães Liliane de Oliveira , Gimenez Fernando Antonio Prado , De Castro José Márcio
Published: November 2024

This study aimed to analyze how entrepreneurial narratives emerged in the EE of Belo Horizonte/MG and to understand how these narratives influenced the development of the local EE between the years 2012 and 2022. The development of the study was based on the literature on entrepreneurial ecosystems with a focus on their evolution, understanding the conceptualization, elements, and approach of narratives, as well as on the literature that discusses public policies on entrepreneurship and socioeconomic development. The methodological approach was qualitative, inductive, and longitudinal in nature. The research method used consisted of documentary research, with data collection in digital databases, such as institutional websites and profiles on social networks, totaling approximately 1,000 pages. Using the Nvivo 10 software, groups of narratives were elaborated in periods of 3 to 5 years - 2012-2016; 2017-2019; 2020-2022 -, in parallel with the evolutionary perspective of the EE. It was observed how the dominant economic narrative in the region studied - led by the mining and automotive sectors, or "traditional companies" - began to rival the competing economic narrative, led by technology-based companies, considered more innovative. The competing narrative was initially complemented by interactions with government agents, idealizing the use of technology-based companies as an option for regional economic diversification. It is also noteworthy the complete absence of agents linked to traditional companies in the construction of the competing narrative, either as collaborators or as adversaries.
The adoption of talent retention strategies in Industry 4.0 automotive organisations: Employees’ perspective
Authors: Macpherson Wayne E.
Published: November 2024

Orientation: As the second largest employer in South Africa (SA), the automotive industry has a vital role to play in addressing global talent retention challenges in the era of Industry 4.0.Research purpose: The aim of this study was to identify talent retention strategies within automotive organisations in SA within the context of Industry 4.0.Motivation for the study: The United Nations identified 17 goals it needs to address which require the automotive industry to adopt effective talent retention strategies.Research approach/design and method: This article reports on the quantitative component of a mixed-method study conducted in the South African automotive industry where data were collected from human resource (HR) and operational employees in automotive organisations through convenience sampling.Main findings: The talent retention strategies need to be more effective to retain Industry 4.0 talent as a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach is not ideal.Practical/managerial implications: Addressing the sustainable development goals in Industry 4.0 will require the upskilling and reskilling of current employees by means of target interventions. Ensuring the development and maintenance of a talent pool is formidable for ensuring talent sustainability in the automotive industry.Contribution/value-add: This study is a prima facie case that focusses on talent retention strategies in the context of automotive organisations in South Africa and, specifically, HR and operational employees. Also, based on the databases searched, little research was found that focussed on Industry 4.0 talent retention strategies from the perspective of the automotive industry.
The combinatorics of Farey words and their traces
Authors: Elzenaar Alex , Martin Gaven J. , Schillewaert Jeroen
Published: November 2024

We introduce a family of

3

-variable ‘Farey polynomials’ that are closely connected with the geometry and topology of

3

-manifolds and orbifolds as they can be used to produce concrete realisations of the boundaries and local coordinates for one-dimensional (over

\mathbb{C}

) deformation spaces of Kleinian groups. As such, this family of polynomials has a number of quite remarkable properties. We study these polynomials from an abstract combinatorial viewpoint, including a recursive definition extending that which is known in the literature for the special case of manifolds, even beyond what the geometry predicts. We also present some intriguing examples and conjectures which we would like to bring to the attention of researchers interested in algebraic combinatorics and hypergeometric functions. The results in this paper additionally provide a practical approach to various classification problems for rank 2 subgroups of

\operatorname{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C})

since they, together with other recent work of the authors, make it possible to provide certificates that certain groups are discrete and free, and effective ways to identify relators.

Stochastic Processes with Expected Stopping Time
Authors: Chatterjee Krishnendu , Doyen Laurent
Published: November 2024

Markov chains are the de facto finite-state model for stochastic dynamical
systems, and Markov decision processes (MDPs) extend Markov chains by
incorporating non-deterministic behaviors. Given an MDP and rewards on states,
a classical optimization criterion is the maximal expected total reward where
the MDP stops after T steps, which can be computed by a simple dynamic
programming algorithm. We consider a natural generalization of the problem
where the stopping times can be chosen according to a probability distribution,
such that the expected stopping time is T, to optimize the expected total
reward. Quite surprisingly we establish inter-reducibility of the expected
stopping-time problem for Markov chains with the Positivity problem (which is
related to the well-known Skolem problem), for which establishing either
decidability or undecidability would be a major breakthrough. Given the
hardness of the exact problem, we consider the approximate version of the
problem: we show that it can be solved in exponential time for Markov chains
and in exponential space for MDPs.
Termination of Graph Transformation Systems Using Weighted Subgraph Counting
Authors: Overbeek Roy , Endrullis Jörg
Published: November 2024

We introduce a termination method for the algebraic graph transformation
framework PBPO+, in which we weigh objects by summing a class of weighted
morphisms targeting them. The method is well-defined in rm-adhesive
quasitoposes (which include toposes and therefore many graph categories of
interest), and is applicable to non-linear rules. The method is also defined
for other frameworks, including SqPO and left-linear DPO, because we have
previously shown that they are naturally encodable into PBPO+ in the quasitopos
setting. We have implemented our method, and the implementation includes a REPL
that can be used for guiding relative termination proofs.

La lesión en las neuronas motoras son un grupo de trastornos neurológicos progresivos, que destruyen las células encargadas de controlar la actividad muscular esencial, como hablar, caminar, respirar y deglutir, en otras palabras, las encargadas del aparato ejecutor o efector. En las astas de la sustancia gris medular se ubican las interneuronas que controlan la actividad motora, actúan en respuesta a las aferencias de los centros superiores del sistema nervioso central (SNC) y los receptores propioceptivos musculares, estos últimos reaccionan a la estimulación activa de patrones de movimientos. La placa motora es el sitio donde las neuronas motoras establecen contacto con el músculo, mediante fibras mielínicas, con axones que se ramifican en varias terminaciones. La estimulación desencadena una respuesta refleja monosináptica o polisináptica, llamada arco reflejo. Las lesiones de motoneuronas se clasifican en dos tipos: síndrome de motoneurona superior o piramidal, y el síndrome de motoneurona inferior. El primero se caracteriza por una falla del haz corticoespinal, ocasionando una sobreestimulación eferente no regulable; mientras que el segundo, se presenta con infra estimulación eferente.

Published: November 2024

This study investigates the effectiveness of communication strategies in enhancing community fund collection in RW 006, Kelurahan Cipinang Cempedak, East Jakarta, through the lens of Social Capital Theory and Communication Theory. By addressing socio-economic disparities and digital literacy issues, the research aims to provide actionable insights for local authorities. A mixed-method approach, combining qualitative interviews with Neighborhood Association leaders and residents, as well as observations of community meetings, was employed. The analysis reveals that a hybrid communication strategy, integrating traditional meetings and digital platforms like WhatsApp, significantly enhances community engagement and fund collection. However, digital literacy and socio-economic disparities present significant barriers. Transparent reporting and regular updates are essential for building trust and encouraging participation. The findings underscore the importance of inclusive communication strategies that address both digital literacy and socio-economic challenges, thereby fostering community participation and optimizing fund collection efforts in urban neighborhoods.
Blue mind life: how the color blue influences our quality of life
Authors: Zampieri Florencia
Published: November 2024

The theory of Blue Mind, which I have researched, studied and practiced since 2020, allows me to address this new chapter “Blue Mind Life”, and continue my multidisciplinary project which requires materialization in different supports and work in several thematic areas, such as health and education in the first instance. As an architect and plastic artist, I have specialized in NeuroArchitecture and Cognitive Sciences to understand even more and in depth how human beings react to the color blue, how it modifies their mood, their body, their gaze and their nervous system. It is a state slightly similar to the sedative effect, where a feeling of happiness and satisfaction emerges, a state of well-being connected to the frequency of no time. The objective is to rethink health and education spaces, enter the Blue Zones, learn their way of life and achieve the goal "Die young while being as old as possible." It is not just about reaching many years of age but about maintaining the best quality of life until the last days.

Published: November 2024

Perovskite materials have attracted interest in solar cells due to ease of processing from salts. However, the complex crystal formation of perovskite from solvents is poorly understood. Solvent engineering approach to determine the crystallization dynamics and orientation of MAPbI3 films using grazing incidence wide angle x-ray scattering (GIWAXS) and micro diffraction measurements were studied. The study further probes the effect of moisture, PTAA and PEDOTS: PSS hole transport layers on the stability of MAPbI3 films. Precursor solutions were prepared by dissolving MAI and PbI2 in pure DMF and mixture of DMF: DMSO in 4:1 v/v. Chlorobenzene and Ethyl acetate were used as antisolvent. Films prepared from DMF: DMSO mixture showed no PbI2 signature while those prepared from DMF only, showed PbI2 signature at q= 0.9 A-1. This was attributed to solvent engineering of DMF/DMSO that leads to the formation of MAI/PbI2/DMSO intermediate that delays the crystallization and promotes vertical growth of ﬁlms. q= 0.9 A-1 signal was associated with high volatility of DMF which led to faster but discrepant nucleation and crystallization rate. Microdiffraction results showed insignificant influence of antisolvent on the perovskite structure. Humidity has a strong influence on the stability of MAPbI3 films. PbI2 intensity in the GIWAXS maps increased with increasing humidity while MAPbI3 intensity decreased. This implied increased degradation of MAPbI3 film with humidity due to recombination of charge carriers. A band gap of 1.57 eV, efficiency of 8.5% and Et of 26 meV were obtained. Films with good crystallization are desirable in solar cells.

Authors:   Sofia university- Bulgaria, Faculty of Pedagogy ORCID: 0009-0008-0863-1516, Vasilev Iliyan
Published: November 2024

The T-shaped curriculum in secondary technical VET represents a progressive educational framework designed to equip students with both specialized technical skills and a broad range of transferable competencies. This curriculum model emphasizes the development of deep expertise in specific technical fields, such as engineering or computer science, while simultaneously fostering essential skills in communication, critical thinking, and collaboration. By integrating real-world applications, experiential learning opportunities, and interdisciplinary projects, the T-shaped curriculum prepares students for immediate employment and long-term adaptability in a rapidly evolving job market. This approach not only enhances students’ technical proficiency but also cultivates their ability to navigate complex professional environments, thereby addressing the growing demand for versatile and resourceful graduates. The implementation of the T-shaped curriculum in secondary technical VET programs is shown to align educational outcomes with industry needs, decisively producing well-rounded professionals capable of contributing productively to diverse roles and industries. This article explores the significance of the T-shaped curriculum in shaping future-ready individuals and highlights its potential to transform TVET in response to the challenges of the modern workforce.

Cervical cancer develops in the cervix, primarily caused by persistent infection with high-risk types of human papilloma virus (HPV). It is one of the most common cancers in women, especially in low- and middle-income countries. While most HPV infections resolve naturally, some persist and can lead to cervical cancer over time. Aim: This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of young women in Chennai regarding cervical cancer, screening, and prevention, and to identify barriers and facilitators influencing participation in screening programs. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to May 2024 among 222 young females, aged 13 and above.. A semi-structured questionnaire assessed their KAP towards cervical cancer. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and Bloom’s taxonomy was applied to categorize knowledge and attitude. Chi-square tests were used to determine statistical significance, with a p-value < 0.05. Results: Although 78.2% of participants were aware of cervical cancer, knowledge of preventive measures was low—only 25.2% knew about the HPV vaccine, and 44% understood the correct Pap test frequency. Attitudes toward screening were mostly positive, with 73.2% agreeing that free screening reduces cervical cancer risk. However, actual preventive practices were limited—only 9% had undergone a Pap smear, and 10% had received the HPV vaccine. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences in KAP between groups (p > 0.05), except for medical students, who demonstrated significantly higher knowledge levels. Conclusion: Despite positive attitudes toward cervical cancer screening, there were notable gaps in knowledge and preventive practices among young women in Chennai. The findings underscore the need for targeted educational interventions, particularly on HPV vaccination and routine screening, to bridge these gaps.

From Persecution to Coexistence: The Bahāʾísm in Iran and Bangladesh
Authors: Hasan Md. Mahdi , Islam Md. Rafiqul , Rahman Md. Mahbubur
Published: November 2024

The Bahāʾísm, emerging from 19th-century Persia through the teachings of Bahāʾuʾllāh, has developed into a globally recognized faith known for its emphasis on unity, peace, and progressive revelation. This paper traces the historical trajectory of the Bahāʾísm from its origins in Persia (modern day Iran) to its establishment in Bangladesh, focusing on both the shared and divergent experiences of its adherents in different cultural contexts. The study addresses the significant challenges Bahāʾís face, particularly the severe persecution in Iran due to theological conflicts with mainstream Islam, contrasted with their relatively accepted status in Bangladesh, a secular Muslim majority country. Drawing on qualitative research conducted at the Rajshahi Bahāʾī Center, Bangladesh, this paper highlights the personal narratives of Bahāʾí converts, their devotional practices, and the obstacles they encounter in maintaining their religious identity. The analysis extends to a comparison with Aḥmadiyya, another religious movement with Islamic roots, to elucidate theological distinctions and the varying degrees of societal acceptance. While the Bahāʾí Faith and Aḥmadiyya both emerged in the 19th century and share a backdrop of Islamic influence, the Bahāʾí emphasis on universal equality and an independent identity sets them apart. This paper argues that such distinctions, coupled with Bangladesh’s secular policies, have allowed Bahāʾís to practice their faith with fewer constraints compared to their coreligionists in Iran. By examining these interfaith dynamics, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of religious pluralism, the complex interactions between minority religious communities and their broader social environments, and the implications for religious tolerance and coexistence in contemporary Muslim societies.
DANO EXISTENCIAL POR JORNADA DE TRABALHO EXCESSIVA: POSICIONAMENTOS DOS TRIBUNAIS
Authors: Alves Gonçalves Bruna
Published: November 2024

Ao longo dos anos e até a presente data, as relações trabalhador e empregador foram pautadas pelo direito trabalhista, o qual tem como objetivo principal a regulação do ambiente laboral, e a garantia da fruição dos diretos dos membros dessas relações, sempre considerando o elo mais fraco da relação, o empregado. Atualmente, o que tem se tornado um assunto de grande abordagem nesse ambiente é a respeito dos danos causados ao trabalhador frente a uma jornada de trabalho excessiva, para tanto, este artigo aborda o conceito de dano existencial, bem como o decorrente da jornada de trabalho excessiva, enfatizando sua configuração e os posicionamentos dos tribunais sobre o tema. A análise destaca que o dano existencial é caracterizado pela violação do direito do trabalhador à liberdade pessoal, manifestando-se quando a imposição de jornadas excessivas restringe a capacidade de escolha em aspectos fundamentais da vida, como lazer e convivência social. A jurisprudência, especialmente decisões do Tribunal Regional do Trabalho, reforça que, embora a comprovação de prejuízos específicos possa agravar a indenização, não é um requisito para a configuração do dano. A discussão se amplia ao considerar que tanto trabalhadores com responsabilidades familiares quanto aqueles sem filhos enfrentam danos existenciais pela mera limitação de sua liberdade. Assim, a proteção dos direitos fundamentais do trabalhador é essencial para a promoção de condições laborais que respeitem a dignidade humana, contribuindo para um ambiente de trabalho mais justo e equilibrado.
Influence of Weathering on Physical Properties and Sun Light Transmitted through PMMA/ Safranin Films for Greenhouse Applications
Authors: Noor A. Darweesh  , Asrar A. Saeed  , Mahasin F. Al- Kadhemy
Published: November 2024

The effect of weathering on physical properties of pure Poly methyl Methacrylate (PMMA) film and PMMA/ Safranin (S) films for Greenhouse applications has been studied. The solution casting method was used to prepare pure PMMA and PMMA/S films with dye solution (18ml), The concentration of Safranin solution was (1×10-4 mole/liter).
 Weathering process will be done for these samples at different exposure sun light times (76, 152 and 228) h. Weathering affected on maximum absorption wavelength of Safranin to shift to lower wavelength (520nm) and decrease the absorbance. Also, the optical energy gap will decrease for pure PMMA from (5eV) to (4.8eV) and PMMA/S (18ml) from (5.02eV) to (4.82eV). FTIR results showed that there is no chemical interaction occurs between Safranin and PMMA Polymer, only physical interaction will be occurred. After weathering, the peaks in FTIR spectra shifted slightly and transmitted decreases with increasing the weathering time. These will confidently photostability of these films under weathering conditions and possibility to use them in greenhouse application. It can be concluded that the PMMA /S (18ml) film is better in green house applications in terms of absorption, energy gap and Sun light transmittance, where it is the highest possible transmitted from (10 A.M.) to (3 P.M.).
Study the Neural Network Algorithms of Mathematical Numerical Optimization
Authors: W. A. Obaid  , A.S.  Ahmed
Published: November 2024

Neural network algorithms are similar in structure to the human mind, they work in the same way as the mind works in transmitting, processing and analyzing information, reaching conclusions, discovering patterns and predictions and we can apply some of what the natural mind applies, although scientists are still discovering more about it until now and have not met all its details. The nature of the algorithms of these networks contributed to them being the most widely used in the field of artificial intelligence, as they aim to simulate human intelligence and give the machine some of the capabilities of the human mind.

Objective: To compare the clinical outcome in terms of efficacy and safety of Ivabradine as adjunctive therapy in patients with acute heart failure.
Methods: A prospective clinical trial was conducted involving patients admitted with acute heart failure, who were randomized to receive either standard care alone or standard care with adjunctive Ivabradine therapy. Efficacy endpoints included improvement in symptoms, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and reduction in heart rate. Safety endpoints encompassed adverse events, including bradycardia and hypotension. Data were collected at baseline, during treatment, and at follow-up visits.
Results: The mean age (67.5 vs. 68.2 years), Gender distribution, mean ejection fraction (35.7 ± 5.2 vs 36.1 ± 4.8), NYHA class, and prevalent comorbidities were comparable between both groups. The mortality rate (10% vs. 15%), and hospital readmissions (20% vs. 30%, p=0.12) showed no significant difference between both groups. The improvement in NYHA class (65% vs. 50%, p=0.04) was significantly (P-value > 0.05) higher in the treatment group. Treatment group demonstrated a significantly greater increase in ejection fraction (mean change 4.8% vs. 2.3%, p<0.001). Clinical outcomes, heart rate reduction, 6-minute walk distance, reduction in NT-proBNP, all-cause mortality and rate of heart failure hospitalizations were found significantly (p-value < 0.05) better in treatment group.
Conclusion: This prospective clinical trial suggests that Ivabradine as adjunctive therapy in acute heart failure is efficacious in improving symptoms and reducing heart rate, with a favorable safety profile. These findings support the consideration of Ivabradine as an adjunctive treatment option in acute heart failure management.
Keywords: Ivabradine, acute heart failure, adjunctive therapy, clinical trial, efficacy, safety.

В данной работе представлены результаты по получению пористого углерода из огуречных кожурей. Полученный пористый углерод был исследован физико-химическими методами анализа, такими как, сканирующая электронная микроскопия, энергодисперсионная рентгеновская флуоресцентная спектроскопия, рамановская и инфракрасная спектроскопия. Элементный анализ показывает, что с повышением температуры карбонизаций, увеличивается массовая доля углерода в образце. Рамановские спектры образцов, полученных в результате карбонизации, показали характерные пики, соответствующие G (графитовый) и D (дисордерный) пикам в районах 1360 и 1580 см-1 соответственно. Эти пики являются типичными для углеродных материалов и могут использоваться для оценки структурных особенностей. Морфология и структурные особенности образцов были также исследованы с помощью сканирующей электронной микроскопии, что позволило получить дополнительную информацию о форме и пористой структуре материалов. Этот подход к получению и анализу углеродных материалов из биомассы имеет потенциал для различных применений, включая области энергетики, катализа и сенсорики. Ключевые слова: карбонизация, карбонизат, углерод, пористый, кожуры огурца.
