Authors: Julianti Lis
Published: November 2024

One of the sales of objects that can be carried out through the auction mechanism is property assets that become collateral for mortgages which later in the auction will be referred to as mortgage execution auctions. During the Covid-19 pandemic, there was a decline in the sale of auction property assets. The purpose of this study is to find an effort to optimize the sale of property assets in the auction of mortgage executions as an effort to improve the investment climate in Indonesia and provide income for the country. This research is a normative juridical research using an approach based on secondary legal materials. This study uses the approaches: statute approach, and conceptual approach. The technique of tracing legal materials uses a document study technique (library research), and the analysis of the study uses qualitative analysis. The results of this study indicate that the efforts and strategies taken to optimize the sale of auction property assets are by educating the public and socializing through brochures in both mass media and social media as well as joint marketing with banks.
PENGATURAN PEWARISAN AWIG-AWIG DESA ADAT DI BALI DALAM PERSPEKTIF KESETARAAN DAN KEADILAN GENDER
Authors: Widiadnyani I Gusti Ayu
Published: November 2024

Masyarakat hukum adat sangat erat kaitannya dengan adat istiadat dan kepribadian bangsa sehingga dapat disebut bahwa hukum adat mencerminkan pola kepribadian dan karakter bangsa Indonesia, atau dalam lingkup terkecil hukum adat mencerminkan tiap pola perilaku masyarakat adatnya. Dalam perkawinan salah satu aspek hukum keluarga telah diatur dalam undang-undang, ternyata banyak norma dalam undang-undang perkawinan yang tidak mengimplementasikan prinsip-prinsip kesetaraan antara laki-laki dan perempuan sebagaimana diamanatkan oleh Pasal 27 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Dasar Tahun 1945. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian yuridis normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan Peraturan Perundang-Undangan serta konseptual. Sumber data yang digunakan merupakan sumber data sekunder yang terdiri dari bahan hukum primer dan bahan hukum sekunder. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa, (1) Aspek-aspek hukum keluarga diatur dalam awig-awig desa pakraman dalam satu bab (sarga) khusus yang mengatur kehidupan bersama dalam keluarga, yang diberi judul Sukertha Tata Pawonga. (2) Pergeseran norma hukum waris adat patrilineal terjadi dengan diakuinya hak dan kedudukan anak perempuan serta janda dalam beberapa wilayah atau kelompok tertentu, yang mana seharusnya sistem pewarisan patrilineal hanya mengakui anak laki-laki sebagai ahli waris. Pergeseran tersebut timbul karena adanya perubahan nilai dan pandangan sosial budaya, yang diakibatkan karena pengaruh agama, modernisasi, urbanisasi, migrasi, maupun meningkatnya peran perempuan dalam membangun kesejahteraan keluarga.

Praktik pemaksaan perkawinan hingga kini masih terjadi di berbagai belahan dunia, termasuk Indonesia. Kondisi ini tidak dapat dilepaskan dari budaya patriarkhi yang dilegitimasi dengan pendekatan agama, faktor ekonomi dan adat istiadat. Sejak diundangkannya Undang-undang Nomor 12 Tahun 2022 tentang Tindak Pidana Kekerasan Seksual, maka pemaksaan perkawinan merupakan suatu kejahatan. Dalam penelitian ini akan dibahas mengenai pemaksaan perkawinan sebagai tindak pidana kekerasan seksual dan kekhususan dalam hukum acara tindak pidana kekerasan seksual. Pemaksaan perkawinan merupakan tindak pidana sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 4 ayat (1) e Undang-undang Nomor 12 Tahun 2022 tentang Tindak Pidana Kekerasan Seksual. Perbuatan ini diancam dengan pidana penjara paling lama 9 (sembilan) tahun dan/ atau pidana denda paling banyak Rp 200.000.000,00. Hukum acara pada tindak pidana kekerasan seksual mengacu pada KUHAP, namun demikian Undang-undang Nomor 12 Tahun 2022 tentang Tindak Pidana Kekerasan Seksual mengatur hal-hal khusus terkait dengan proses penyidikan, penuntutan dan pemeriksaan di pengadilan. Kekhususan ini bertujuan untuk mempermudah pembuktian tindak pidana kekerasan seksual dan melindungi korban dari stigmatisasi dan labelisasi negatif.

Authors:   NIILM University Kaithal India, Kumar Sandeep
Published: November 2024

Chemistry is highly spatio-visual based which means that chemistry conception is abstract so students are more prone to construction of misconceptions. This study is the literature review of chemical education and practices that show the common misconceptions constructed by students. The study aims to explore the literature evidences to chemistry teacher and prospective teacher on chemical misconceptions. Students improve their concrete concepts related misconceptions but find abstract misconception hard to change. For teachers’ also it is difficult to resolve such misconception by traditional pedagogical approaches. So, teachers need to update the pedagogical and should use pedagogical tools to identify and eliminate the common misconception. Further the study suggested to use multiple intervention for the elimination of chemical misconceptions and to innovate their pedagogy with active & interactive ways that doesn’t allow the construction of chemical misconception.

Published: November 2024

Objective:

The objective was to investigate the correlation and accuracy between sodium and potassium levels measured by point-of-care blood gas analysis and those obtained through laboratory serum analysis.

Methods:

A prospective observational study was carried out on 70 patients presenting to the Emergency Department of Mayo Hospital Lahore. Paired samples were drawn, one of them was used for point of care (POC) blood gas analysis and the other was sent for serum laboratory analysis under standard techniques.

Results:

The mean difference between POC blood gas analysis and serum laboratory analysis was 4.9±11.24 (taking 95% CI, p< 0.001) for sodium and 0.94±0.07 (taking 95% CI, p< 0.0001) for potassium. The Pearson correlation coefficient (r) for POC blood gas analysis and serum laboratory analysis was 0.021 for sodium, showing a weak correlation. This suggests that there is minimal linear relationship between the sodium levels measured by the two analyzers. For potassium, Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was found to be 0.939, showing strong correlation. This indicates that while the methods generally agree within this range, some degree of variability is present.

Conclusion:

The difference between the results obtained from both analyzers was found to be statistically significant and therefore, cannot be used interchangeably.

In order to maintain an adequate oral and dental health, oral hygiene is an important factor, and its implementation by appropriate methods and techniques it is imperative for the removal of the bacterial plaque. The removing of the bacterial plaque it is done by mechanical methods, the use of toothpaste and toothbrush must be supplemented by the use of dental floss. In this study, we measure the effectiveness of the use of the toothbrush and the auxiliary means for the toothbrush, in particular we analyzed the dental floss. Thus, the study participants were divided into several groups. Initially the bacterial plaque was revealed, and then they were asked to use several methods of removing the bacterial plaque, either by brushing, using dental floss or using a combination of these. Through the Quigley and Hein plaque index, the final results were evaluated by comparing them with the initial ones and by showing which method is the most efficient. Each of the two bacterial plaque removal techniques provided optimal plaque removal results, but the dental brushing succeeded in removing the dental plaque from the vestibular, oral and occlusal surfaces of the teeth, and the dental flap removed the plaque from the proximal surfaces of the plaque. Although many of our patients use only one of the two methods, especially only brushing without using dental floss, the combination of the two gives the best results, and the practicing dentist should insist on recommending the use of the two methods together.
Documenter et diffuser les chansons de l’ancien Pays des Illinois : parcours des folkloristes et représentations des Franco-Américains du Centre-Ouest (années 1840-1940)
Authors: Moreddu Camille

À partir des années 1840, des folkloristes s’attachent à documenter et diffuser les chansons françaises de l’ancien Pays des Illinois, ex-province de la Nouvelle-France située dans la vallée centrale du Mississippi. Cet article retrace le parcours de ces savants et vise à mettre en évidence leur impact sur les pratiques locales et les représentations qu’ils projettent sur les « Francos » des Illinois. Plusieurs profils et approches en émergent : des érudits de la bourgeoise franco-américaine locale cherchant, dans une veine mémorialiste, à mettre en valeur la légitimité historique de leurs ancêtres, aux folkloristes anglo-américains régionalistes s’attachant à construire une identité culturelle propre au Centre-Ouest, jusqu’à l’émergence, chez un folkloriste franco-ontarien, du souci de situer les « Francos » des Illinois dans le cadre plus global de l’Amérique française.

Faisant écho à l’article « Interdisciplinarité et sérendipité » du professeur Philippe Walter, l’auteur se penche sur sa thèse de doctorat, rite de passage obligé des chercheurs universitaires. Il en évoque la genèse, la longue gestation, les appuis reçus, la soutenance puis l’édition finale avec la critique bienveillante qui l’avait fort satisfait. Trois décennies plus tard, un message inopiné l’informe que son livre a permis de « casser le code secret » du Conte du graal, « le plus grand des récits médiévaux français ». Et, geste éthique exceptionnel, le médiéviste qui l’a trouvé prépare deux ouvrages qui tirent ouvertement parti de l’essai de l’ethnologue. Ce dernier, étonné, échange alors autour de ce « miracle bibliographique ». En présentant les écrits récents du médiéviste, il refait ici le parcours d’une rencontre interdisciplinaire aussi heureuse qu’inattendue.
Mortality and Suicide Among Persons Experiencing Homelessness: A Seven-Year Follow-up Study
Authors: Calvo Fran , Carbonell Xavier , Johnsen Sarah , Panadero Sonia , Vázquez José Juan , Calvet Anna , McInnes Keith , Font-Mayolas Sílvia
Published: November 2024

Background::
There is a significant gap in scientific understanding about suicide among people experiencing homelessness (PEHs).

Method::
This seven-year longitudinal study examined a cohort of 154 PEHs. In 2015, clinical assessments were conducted, including an evaluation of suicide risk, with data on causes of death collected from public health service records in 2022.

Results::
Over the course of seven years, 14.3% of the sample passed away at an average age of 52.6 years. The leading causes of death were cancer, suicide, and accidental overdose. Participants who experienced violence had a higher number of suicide attempts and scored higher on the suicidal ideation scale. The most significant factors associated with mortality were prior suicide attempts and suicidal ideation.

Conclusions::
This study underscores the importance of suicide risk scale scores as the primary predictor of mortality. It emphasizes the need for further longitudinal research on suicide among PEHs and the development of specific programs to prevent suicide within this population. An approach combining structural and individual perspectives is suggested, considering appropriate housing policies and mental health care.
Combined Effects of Early Life Stress and Prolonged Exposure to Western Diet on Emotional Responses and Gut Microbiota
Authors: López-Taboada Isabel , Arboleya Silvia , Sal-Sarria Saúl , Gueimonde Miguel , González-Pardo Héctor , Conejo Nélida M.
Published: November 2024

Background::
Exposure to early life stress (ELS) and maternal consumption of a high-fat and high-sugar diet can have detrimental effects on adult emotional responses. The microbiota and gut-brain axis have been proposed as playing a mediating role in the regulation of stress and emotion.

Method::
Young male rats were exposed to maternal separation (MS) together with maternal and postnatal consumption of a HFS diet (45%kcal saturated fat, 17%kcal sucrose). Anxiety-like behaviour was evaluated using an elevated zero-maze, and depression-like behaviour using the forced-swim and sucrose preference tests. Microbiota composition and derived metabolites were also analysed in faecal samples using a gas chromatograph and mass spectrometry.

Results::
Combined exposure to MS and lifelong consumption of a HFS diet partially reversed the abnormal anxiety-like and depression-like behaviours in early adulthood caused by each adverse factor alone. Diet composition had a greater negative impact than ELS exposure on the gut microbiota, and both environmental factors interacted with microbiota composition partially counteracting their negative effects.

Conclusions::
The effects of exposure to early life stress and a HFS diet independently are partially reversed after the combination of both factors. These results suggest that ELS and diet interact to modulate adult stress response and gut microbiota.

Published: November 2024

Background: :
Following experts' recommendations for a phenomenological approach to suicidal behavior, this study opted to focus on the life-protecting beliefs and values expressed by people in acute suicidal crisis.

Method: :
61 adults hospitalized in psychiatric emergency for suicidal crises were assessed in terms of reasons for living (RFL) and suicidality. Multiple correspondence analysis was used to discern groups of patients based on their RFL profiles. Group differences on suicidality were further examined.

Results: :
4 groups of patients were observed, emerging from RFL differences in “Survival and Coping Beliefs”, “Fear of Social Disapproval”, “Responsibility to Family” and “Child-Related Concerns”. Profiles varied by gender but not age. We further observed that "Survival and Coping Beliefs" and "Moral Objections" are weakened during an acute suicidal crisis.

Conclusions: :
These findings underline the clinical utility of evaluating RFL during a suicidal crisis, and that RFL may be useful to personalize case formulation during an emergency intervention. They could further increase therapeutic communication by connecting the individual to key psychological resources. Longitudinal studies are necessary to evaluate how the different groups identified in this study may yield specific post-emergency trajectories connected to specific clinical needs.
Still waters run deep: Large scale genome rearrangements in the evolution of morphologically conservative Polyplacophora
Authors: Sigwart Julia D , Li Yunlong , Chen Zeyuan , Vončina Katarzyna , Sun Jin
Published: November 2024

The phylum Mollusca is bifurcated into the hyperdiverse Conchifera (Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Cephalopoda, et al.) and the spiny Aculifera (Polyplacophora and Aplacophora). High quality genomic data for the deeply divergent, morphologically constrained chitons, would be expected to offer an opportunity to explore ancient genetic traits and evolutionary mechanisms preserved across the long span of animal evolution. We present a comparative analysis of five reference quality genomes, including four
de novo
assemblies, covering all major chiton clades: Lepidopleurida (
Deshayesiella sirenkoi
), Callochitonida (
Callochiton septemvalvis
) and Chitonida (
Acanthochitona discrepans
and
A. rubrolineata
), and an updated phylogeny for the phylum. Comparison with conchiferan genomes recovers 20 ancient molluscan linkage groups (MLGs) that are relatively conserved in bivalve karyotypes, but subject to re-ordering, rearrangement, fusion, and early occurring duplication (or fission) in chitons and conchiferan genomes. Two congeners each have 8 haploid chromosomes, results of two independent fusion events from the karyotype of their most recent common ancestor. The largest number of novel fusions is in the supposedly most plesiomorphic clade Lepidopleurida, and the chitonid
Liolophura japonica
has a partial genome duplication, extending the known occurrence of large-scale gene duplication within Mollusca. The extreme and dynamic genome rearrangements in this class stands in contrast to most other animals and is not explained by accumulated change since the deep divergence time of this clade. The apparently conservative phenome of chitons is not reflected in a conservative genome.

Published: November 2024

Understanding the genetic diversity and transmission dynamics of
Plasmodium falciparum
, the causative agent of malaria, is crucial for effective control and elimination efforts. In some endemic regions, malaria is highly seasonal with no or little transmission during up to 8 months, yet little is known about how seasonality affects the parasite population genetics. Here we conducted a longitudinal study over 2.5 year on 1516 participants in the Upper River Region of The Gambia. With 425
P. falciparum
genetic barcodes genotyped from asymptomatic infections, we developed an identity by descent (IBD) based pipeline and validated its accuracy using 199 parasite genomes. Genetic relatedness between isolates revealed a highly recombinatorial genetic diversity, suggesting continuous recombination among parasites rather than the dominance of specific strains. However, isolates from the same household were six-fold more likely to be genetically related compared to those from other villages. Seasonal patterns influenced genetic relatedness, with a notable increase of parasite differentiation during high transmission. Yet chronic infections presented exceptions, including one individual who had a continuous infection by the same parasite genotype for at least 18 months. Our findings highlight the burden of asymptomatic chronic malaria carriers and the importance of characterising the parasite genetic population at the community-level. Most importantly, ‘reactive’ approaches for malaria elimination should not be limited to acute malaria cases but be broadened to households of asymptomatic carriers.

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), characterized by two or more failed clinical pregnancies, poses a significant challenge to reproductive health. In addition to embryo quality and endometrial function, proper oviduct function is also essential for successful pregnancy establishment. Therefore, structural abnormalities or inflammation resulting from infection in the oviduct may impede the transport of embryos to the endometrium, thereby increasing the risk of miscarriage. However, our understanding of the biological processes that preserve the oviductal cellular structure and functional integrity is limited. Here, we report that Atg14-dependent autophagy plays a crucial role in maintaining the cellular integrity of the oviduct by controlling inflammatory responses, thereby supporting efficient embryo transport. Specifically, the conditional depletion of the autophagy-related gene,
Atg14
in the oviduct causes severe structural abnormalities compromising its cellular integrity leading to the abnormal retention of embryos. Interestingly, the selective loss of
Atg14
in oviduct ciliary epithelial cells did not impact female fertility, highlighting the specificity of ATG14 function in distinct cell types within the oviduct. Mechanistically, loss of
Atg14
triggered unscheduled pyroptosis via altering the mitochondrial integrity leading to inappropriate embryo retention and impeded embryo transport in the oviduct. Finally, pharmacological activation of pyroptosis in pregnant mice phenocopied the genetically induced defect and caused impairment in embryo transport. Together, we found that ATG14 safeguards against unscheduled pyroptosis activation to enable embryo transport from the oviduct to uterus for the successful implantation. Of clinical significance, these findings provide possible insights into the underlying mechanism(s) of early pregnancy loss and might aid in developing novel prevention strategies using autophagy modulators.

Published: November 2024

Traditional methods for detecting seed germination rates often involve lengthy experiments that result in damaged seeds. This study selected the Zheng Dan-958 maize variety to predict germination rates using multi-source information fusion and a random forest (RF) algorithm. Images of the seeds and internal cracks were captured with a digital camera. In contrast, the dielectric constant of the seeds was measured using a flat capacitor and converted into voltage readings. Features such as color, shape, texture, crack count, and normalized voltage were used to form feature vectors. Various prediction algorithms, including random forest (RF), radial basis function (RBF), neural networks (NNs), support vector machine (SVM), and extreme learning machine (ELM), were developed and tested against standard germination experiments. The RF model stood out, with a training time of 5.18 s and the highest accuracy of 92.88%, along with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.913 and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.163. The study concluded that the RF model, combined with multi-source information fusion, offers a feasible and nondestructive method for quickly and accurately predicting maize seed germination rates.

The main objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the Tagum City Agrivolving Fund (TAF) program for rice farmers. A mixed-method research design was employed for this study. The sample of 150 rice farmers from six farmers' associations in Davao del Norte was determined using stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a survey questionnaire that was validated by experts. The collected data were analyzed and interpreted using frequency, mean, and thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the majority of the farming population in the study consisted of older individuals, aged 41 years old and above. The gender distribution among the respondents in the Tagum City Agrivolving Fund Program showed a slightly higher representation of male farmers. Most farmers had relatively small to moderate-sized households and low monthly incomes. Furthermore, the majority of farmers were elementary graduates. They owned the land they cultivated, with small to medium-sized farm lots ranging from 1 to 5 hectares. Additionally, the program had a significant positive impact on the mean volume of rice production, which potentially improved the farmers' income. The results also indicated that the repayment terms of the Tagum City Agrivolving Fund (TAF) Program were consistently observed and perceived as very high in terms of program practices. Moreover, the effectiveness of the program in terms of access to credit, loan size, interest rate, repayment terms, and availability of technical support was reported as very high, demonstrating the program's effectiveness in empowering and facilitating agricultural endeavors. However, the rice farmers in the Tagum City Agrivolving Fund (TAF) Program faced challenges such as insufficient financing for rice production, low return on investment, delayed action on the needs of rice farmers, and scarcity of water supply.

Ivorian soils are facing a loss of fertility that affects the production of market gardeners such as the cultivation of guinea sorrel. In order to propose a method of producing guinea sorrel that takes into account the environment and is accessible at a lower cost to producers, fertilization based on compost from crop residues was undertaken. For this purpose, six (6) doses of compost based on soybean crop residues were tested (without application of fertiliser, 02 tonnes per hectare (t. ha-1), 04 t. ha-1, 06 t. ha-1, 08 t. ha-1 and 10 t. ha-1). The parameters measured concerned the vegetative parameters and the yield components. The vegetative development (DV) of the plants was influenced by the different treatments at 45 days after sowing (45 DAS), with the most important DV being those obtained with the doses of 06 t. ha-1 and 10 t. ha-1.  ha-1 treatments generated the best values. As for the yield, it was significantly higher with the doses of 02 t. ha-1; 04 t. ha-1 and 10 t. ha-1 with respectively 18.67; 18.73; 18.33 t. ha-1. According to the results obtained, the dose of 02 t. ha-1 would be the most effective since it is the lowest dose that produced as much as the doses 04 t. ha-1 and 10 t. ha-1.

Objectives

This study examined the association between workplace rules and training programs regarding combining employees’ work and treatment for chronic diseases, and actions actually taken by employees to manage this issue. These workplace measures (rules and training programs) are consistent with the Japanese Guideline for Workplace Patient Coordination and Disease Treatment.

Methods

In February 2018, we conducted an online, cross-sectional survey of 1134 employed individuals with chronic diseases who needed workplace support to combine work and disease treatment. All participants were aged 18-65 years and lived in Japan. We investigated associations between workplace rules and training programs (two items) and employee actions (eight items), using a questionnaire based on the guideline and logistic regression analysis.

Results

In total, 76.5% of the participants said they had reported their chronic disease to their employer (manager, personnel department, or occupational physician). However, less than half (47.5%) had submitted a written report about their job to their doctor. Employees were more likely to take action in workplaces that had rules or training programs than in workplaces without such measures. More actions were taken among employees in workplaces with both rules and training programs than in those with either measure alone.

Conclusion

It is important to establish rules to support employees with chronic diseases and provide training to improve awareness of these rules to encourage employees with chronic diseases to take action to access the support they need.
New insights into YAP/TAZ nucleo‐cytoplasmic shuttling: new cancer therapeutic opportunities?
Authors: Shreberk‐Shaked Michal , Oren Moshe
Published: May 2019

Yes‐associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional co‐activator with PDZ‐binding motif (TAZ), the main effectors of the Hippo pathway, are emerging as important players in cancer biology and therapy response. The intracellular localization of YAP/TAZ is a key determinant in the regulation of their activity and their roles in signal transduction. This is particularly relevant for cancer: Aberrant nuclear localization of YAP and TAZ has been observed in numerous human cancers and may therefore represent an attractive target for cancer therapy. In this review, we describe the mechanisms that regulate the nucleo‐cytoplasmic shuttling of YAP/TAZ and their implications for cancer, and discuss how the new insights about this process may pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies.
Overexpression of lncRNA TCTN2 protects neurons from apoptosis by enhancing cell autophagy in spinal cord injury

Published: May 2019

Neuronal apoptosis is the main pathological feature of spinal cord injury (SCI), while autophagy contributes to ameliorating neuronal damage via inhibition of apoptosis. Here, we investigated the role of tectonic family member 2 (TCTN2) long non‐coding RNA on apoptosis and autophagy in SCI. TCTN2 was down‐regulated in the spinal cord tissues of a rat model of SCI and in oxygen–glucose deprivation‐induced hypoxic SY‐SH‐5Y cells, while microRNA‐216b (miR‐216b) was up‐regulated. Overexpression of TCTN2 reduced neuron apoptosis by inducing autophagy, and TCTN2 was observed to negatively regulate miR‐216b. Furthermore, TCTN2 promoted autophagy to repress apoptosis through the miR‐216b–Beclin‐1 pathway, and overexpression of TCTN2 improved neurological function in the SCI rat model. In summary, our data suggest that TCTN2 enhances autophagy by targeting the miR‐216b–Beclin‐1 pathway, thereby ameliorating neuronal apoptosis and relieving spinal cord injury.

Marine sponges are used as biomonitors of heavy metals contamination in coastal environment as they process large amounts of water and have a high capacity for accumulating heavy metals. Here, inspired by the unique physical and physiological features of marine sponges, a surface engineered synthetic sponge for the highly efficient harvesting of uranium from natural seawater is developed. An ultrathin poly(imide dioxime) (PIDO)/alginate (Alg) interpenetrating polymer network hydrogel layer is uniformly wrapped around the skeleton of a melamine sponge (MS) substrate through a simple dipping–drying–crosslinking process, providing the hybrid MS@PIDO/Alg sponge with excellent uranium adsorption performance and sufficient mechanical strength to withstand the harsh conditions of practical applications. The maximum adsorption capacity reaches 910.98 mg‐U g‐gel‐1 for the PIDO/Alg hydrogel layer and 291.51 mg‐U g‐sponge‐1 for the whole hybrid MS@PIDO/Alg sponge in uranium‐spiked natural seawater. The adsorption capacity measured after 56 d of exposure in 5 tons of natural seawater is evaluated to be 5.84 mg‐U g‐gel‐1 (1.87 mg‐U g‐sponge‐1). This novel approach shows great promise for the mass production of high‐performance sponge adsorbent for uranium recovery from natural seawater and nuclear waste.
Recent Advances in Robust Superwettable Membranes for Oil–Water Separation
Authors: Lin Xiangde , Hong Jinkee
Published: May 2019

Over the past decade, much progress has been made in the application of multifunctional membranes with special wettability for the separation of oil–water mixtures. This progress has been driven by frequent oil spill accidents and oily wastewater, which are enormous threats to the vulnerable aquatic environment. The design of permeable superwettable membranes for oil–water separation has been inspired by the development of highly wetting/nonwetting interfaces, but these membranes are susceptible to factors such as mechanical forces, chemical corrosion, biological fouling, and other environmental influences. Considering the complex and harsh environments that superwettable membranes must endure during the separation process, membrane durability against the loss of superwettability is critical in prolonging the life of an oil–water filtration system. Although significant advances in superwettable membranes have been made, the robustness issue remains challenging and has become a focus of many investigations. Covering nearly all publications concerning “robust, durable, usable, resistant, tolerant, or antifouling oil–water separation” published in the last five years, this work is intended as an introduction for new researchers wishing to create durable superwettable membranes for oil–water separation, as well as providing perspectives and guidance for future research in several logical directions.

Efficient heat dissipation is becoming a key limiting factor for the next‐generation smart electronic devices with ever‐increasing power density. The thermal interface materials (TIMs), with high out‐of‐plane thermal conductivity (TC) and excellent mechanical properties, are thus highly desired. In the present work, an elastomer‐type TIM is fabricated with silicone rubber (SR) as the matrix, and 3D interconnected graphene aerogel (gGA) as the nano‐filler. The lattice defects of graphene are remarkably repaired by graphitization at over 2800 °C, probably with chemical covalent bonding between the graphene sheets, so as to decrease the interfacial phonon scattering. What is more, the results of X‐ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy confirm the thorough reduction and defects repair of 3D continuous graphene network, which can accelerate the heat dissipation. By vacuum/pressure alternate assisted impregnation, the as‐obtained gGA/SR composites show a consolidate structure with superior mechanical flexibility, which is desirable for TIMs. The TC reaches up to 1.26 W m−1 K−1 at a very low gGA loading of 0.50 wt%, which is 448% higher than that of pure SR (0.23 W m−1 K−1). This indicates that the 3D crossed‐linked graphene aerogel is an effective scaffold for enhancing the heat dissipation performance of advanced thermal management materials.
