Published: May 2024

Redox enzymes capable of carrying out multi-electron reactions serve as blueprints for the rational design of bio-inspired catalysts for future green technologies. During catalysis, enzymes transition through multiple ‘active’ intermediate states. Movement of both electrons and substrate to/from the active site is precisely controlled to achieve the equivalent of high Faradaic efficiencies, with minimal electrons wasted in detrimental side reactions. High turnover frequencies in metalloenzymes such as the nickel-iron (NiFe) hydrogenases require mechanisms for highly-choreographed movement of two quantum particles, protons and electrons. According to Marcus theory, structural rigidity is key to a low reorganisation energy barrier for rapid, outer-sphere electron transfer. However, this is at odds with the requirement for a degree of conformational flexibility to enable rapid proton tunnelling between residues separated by distances greater than ~2.7 Å. Here we exploit the specific redox poising possible with electrochemical control of protein crystals and characterise, structurally and spectroscopically, [NiFe]-hydrogenase in each of the key states of the catalytic cycle as well as its CO-bound and oxidised states. These structures confirm extraordinarily fixed metal coordination at the active site, conducive to fast multi-electron catalysis, and reveal a subtle carboxylate ‘flick’ that provides molecular detail of how glutamate acts as a proton shuttle.
Synergistic Photoenzymatic Catalysis Enables Synthesis of a-Tertiary Amino Acids Using Threonine Aldolases
Authors: Ouyang Yao , Page Claire , Bilodeau Catherine , Hyster Todd
Published: May 2024

a-Tertiary amino acids are essential components of drugs and agrochemicals, yet traditional syntheses are step-intensive and provide access to a limited range of structures with vary-ing levels of enantioselectivity. Here, we report the α-alkylation of unprotected alanine and glycine by pyridinium salts using pyridoxal (PLP)-dependent threonine aldolases with a Rose Bengal photoredox catalyst. The strategy efficient-ly prepares various a-tertiary amino acids in a single chemical step as a single enantiomer. UV-vis spectroscopy studies re-veal a ternary interaction between the pyridinium salt, pro-tein, and photocatalyst, which we hypothesize is responsible for localizing radical formation to the protein active site. This method highlights the opportunity for combining photoredox catalysts with enzymes to reveal new catalytic functions for known enzymes.

The rapid advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) and medical technology has paved the way for innovative healthcare solutions. The system incorporates IoT connectivity to enable remote monitoring, data collection, and analysis, enhancing patient care and medical decision making. Cardiac monitoring system used in hospitals to measure and record the cardiac parameters. Vital parameters are transferred within the hospitals either using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Range of transmission for such wireless communication is only effective within the hospitals and further transfer to a long distance is limited. The proposed cardiac monitoring system is developed using LabVIEW environment - a versatile Graphical User Interface (GUI). Data acquired through the electrodes are connected to my DAQ Unit (Data Acquisition Unit) which helps to integrate electrodes with computer or PC. Data acquired from the Software is connected to the firebase console and it will help the practitioners to share the data in live and updated. It offers benefits such as early detection of cardiac irregularities such as arrythmia, reduced hospitalization periods, and improved patient outcomes. Additionally, healthcare practitioners and caretakers can remotely access patient data, enabling timely interventions and personalized treatment plans. Since the cardiac monitors are often used by bedside patients, it may introduce bed sores in them. Hence, in addition to these parameters, body moisture level and temperature of the patient are measured using DHT11(temperature and humidity sensor) to ensure the prevention of bedsores. These additional parameters measured are also enabled to view through IoT.

Deepfake or fabricated images have become extremely realistic that it is impossible to simply distinguish a real image from a deepfake one with the naked eye. Technology has evolved greatly in this area that allows people to have easy access to tools that help them easily create very realistic deepfakes. These modified images are then used for the purposes of identity theft, fraud, dissemination of false information, etc. Not everyone uses these tools in a negative way, many use this technology for good. Some of the good applications can be found in the filmmaking, animation, and video game industry. Due to malicious uses of manipulated media, there is a need for effective tools to detect them. In this study, we make use of the Error Level Analysis Algorithm to pre-process the image and then pass it on to CNN where we train the model and classify the image as genuine or fake.

The Essence of High-Tech Warfare in the Organizational and Institutional Security Theory of State Administration
Authors: Zhyvylo Yevhen
Published: May 2024

At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, fundamental changes occurred in the field of international security. The world community faced fundamentally new challenges and threats. In many regions of the world, interstate rivalry was observed, which led to the outbreak of local wars and military conflicts, which mostly took the form of armed confrontation.

Technological progress, the presence of significant military power, the demonstration of determination and its use transformed social relations into more conflictual ones. Gradually, more and more countries of the world are involved in local wars and military conflicts. In this context, it should be noted that the intensity and scale of hostilities during the last thirty years, which took place in different corners of the globe, testify to the growth of dynamic changes in the situation in the combat zone during the use of international coalition forces. At the same time, the strict implementation of the requirements for stable, continuous, operational and covert management of troops during their performance of combat missions prompts the world's leading countries to develop and implement new concepts of information networks and systems.

It should be noted that future wars will depend on high-tech intelligence. The priority is to identify the enemy first, before he notices you; blind the enemy's sensors, be it drones or satellites; and disrupt their means and data channels, whether through cyberattacks, electronic warfare, or old-fashioned firepower. Armies will have to develop new forms and methods of application, relying on mobility, dispersion, camouflage and deception measures. Large armies that fail to invest in new technology or develop new doctrine will be overwhelmed by smaller ones that do. "We have to recognize that the old concepts of fighting large tank battles on European land are over," said Boris Johnson, the UK's prime minister, in November 2021. "There are other, more important things in which we should invest. Cyber technologies, this will be the war of the future." Three months later, Russia invaded Ukraine.

So, the work defines the problem of incomplete compliance of the current state and readiness of the security and defense sector with regard to the requirements of effective countermeasures against threats to national security and their neutralization, the task of improving this activity, regarding the creation of unified management and communication systems, and horizontal connections are defined connections of these systems and electronic communication networks, which in the future will undoubtedly affect the safe functioning of the national segment of cyberspace.

Optical and Electrical Characterization of Crystallized M:WO3 (Cu, Fe, Ni) Films in Acidic Medium
Authors: Yakar Emin , Karaduman Er Irmak , Sarf Fatma
Published: May 2024

Pure and metal (M) doped [copper (Cu), nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe)] WO3 films have been produced on In:SnO2 (ITO) slides by using facile chemical bath deposition and then annealed at 500 oC for 2 h. Structural, morphological, electrical and optical properties of the produced WO3-based films were examined. Monoclinic WO3 phase were observed in all the samples, and the peak intensities were decreased by metal inclusion with heterogeneous film growth on ITO substrate. Slight shifts from defect related emission peaks (blue and green) were observed in metal-substituted WO3 samples from PL study. An optical band gap was observed to decrease in M:WO3 samples. The surface resistance values were significantly reduced by metal additives compared to its pure counterpart, especially by the inclusion of nickel ions in WO3. The results indicated that nucleus growth and thereby impurity/defect-related surfaces had a serious effect on the optical and electrical properties of M:WO3 films.

Published: May 2024

The paper presents data from the 63rd cruise of the R/V “Akademik Mstislav Keldysh” in August–October 2015. The main areas of work included the western part of the Kara Sea, the bays of Novaya Zemlya (Sedova, Oga and Tsivolki), a transect through the Voronin Trench, a transect from the Lena River delta to the continental slope of the Laptev Sea. During the cruise, a chemical analysis of pore and bottom waters was carried out for the content of nitrite, nitrate nitrogen, silicon, phosphates, total alkalinity and pH. The patterns of distribution of silicon and phosphorus concentrations at the water-bottom interface are considered. In the Kara Sea analysis of the data showed that the maximum concentrations of nutrients are located in the upper 10 cm sediment layer, below that concentrations gradually decrease. In all studied bays of Novaya Zemlya, the concentrations of nutrients in the silt waters were lower than on the adjacent shelf. In the Laptev Sea, the content of nitrates in silt waters is higher, and phosphates are lower than in the Kara Sea. Differences in the content of nutrients in the bottom and silt water are associated both with external factors (river runoff) and physical and geological features of the upper sediment layer of the studied areas.

Exploring the potential of ChatGPT in facilitating consciousness-raising tasks: A promising solution for alleviating the burden on educators
Authors: Tran Tan
Published: May 2024

When studying grammar, students must not only focus on its structure but also on its form. Form-focused activities are integral to this process, requiring students to identify and manipulate language forms. A well-established technique for facilitating language acquisition is the consciousness-raising task (CR), which aims to heighten learners' awareness of language form. By prioritizing the language input, students can cultivate a more precise comprehension of grammar structures, thereby enhancing their own language proficiency. This approach entails various strategies, such as inferring grammatical rules from examples, comparing different forms of expression, and examining differences between a learner's usage of a grammar item and that of native speakers. However, designing effective CR tasks is cognitively demanding, time-intensive, and laborious for teachers, as it entails accommodating numerous requirements, including the definition of clear objectives, task relevance, and task engagement. To address these challenges, it is worth utilizing ChatGPT which is an advanced conversational AI system with the capability to process and generate various modalities of language. It has access to extensive databases and can produce written content that is frequently indistinguishable from human-written text. Accordingly, ChatGPT can be utilized to generate CR tasks or materials that may be applied in class. The present study endeavors to offer a range of CR tasks for grammar teaching that have been generated by ChatGPT. The tasks include identification tasks, text correction tasks, word choice tasks, and others.

Published: May 2024

Wasagamack and Garden Hill First Nations in Island Lake, Manitoba, are experiencing a housing crisis, with severe overcrowding. This article describes a research analysis of local materials, building skill levels, environment, demographics, and cultural aspects completed by graduate students in interior design as part of collaborative design/build activities, training programs, and community workshops. This study is part of a First Nation community/university partnership. Healthy, culturally appropriate, resilient single- and extended-family homes were designed using local materials and labour. This pilot project offers a pathway to build capacity to fill the gap of 150,000 homes in a way that advances cultural, health, social, and economic development. Further, a decolonizing policy and the provision of adequate infrastructure, such as access roads, in Indigenous reserves are needed to create a sustainable home-building ecosystem.
Caring for People and Territories: Brief Historical Review of the Intersectoral Social Innovation Experience of Trieste and Its Habitat Micro-Area Program
Authors: Bono Margherita , Lapierre Judith , Morin Paul
Published: May 2024

This brief historical review presents the pioneering work of Franco Basaglia and Franco Rotelli that revolutionized community care in the 1970s in Trieste, Italy. Based on archival records of Micro-areas in Trieste at the social cooperative La Collina, this article addresses the chronology of key moments and components of that innovative community perspective. Trieste’s mental health service, considered one of the best in the world, is a reference for deinstitutionalized care in social housing within territories that contributes to healing. Trieste has demonstrated that by adopting a “social enterprise perspective,” it reaches targets of sustainable, intersectoral, local networks with responsiveness, agility, and efficiency. The program has demonstrated that it can create substantial gains in terms of inclusion, empowerment, and social economy by working from a rights-based, person-centred approach, thus contributing to social justice
Les pratiques de soutien communautaire en logement social et communautaire (SCLSC) : l’accompagnement de personnes et de milieux de vie favorables à la stabilité résidentielle, au bien-être et à la qualité de vie
Authors: Caillouette Jacques , Lapierre Judith
Published: May 2024

Cet article définit le soutien communautaire en logement social et communautaire au Québec comme relevant de pratiques d’accompagnement à la fois individuelles et collectives. Il analyse les propos de personnes intervenantes et gestionnaires provenant de six entretiens de groupe réalisés en 2020 et 2021 dans le cours d’une recherche plus ample sur les besoins et les pratiques de soutien communautaire au Québec. L’hypothèse défendue est que la finalité du soutien communautaire et ses modes opératoires tiennent d’un accompagnement tout autant collectif des milieux de vie qu’individuel des personnes locataires, mais cela toujours dans une optique d’inclusion sociale, de développement du pouvoir d’agir et de stabilité résidentielle, et non de prise en charge. D’un point de vue théorique et axiologique, les auteur.e.s font appel à la théorie critique de la justice sociale de Nancy Fraser et à la théorie du care, mettant l’accent par la même sur la vie ordinaire et la prévention.

Osmanlı toprağı olduktan sonra hızlı bir şekilde inşa etkinliklerinin arttığı İstanbul’da, hanedan mensupları, devlet adamları, saray vazifelileri ve ilmiye zümresi adlarını ölümsüz kılmak ve ardında bıraktıkları hayratlar ile sevap
kazanabilmek maksadıyla pek çok külliye inşa ettirmişlerdir. İstanbul’un şehir dokusunu meydana getiren bu külliyeler şehirdeki nüfusun artmasını sağlamışlardır. Fakat bu durum yeni inşa edilecek külliyeler için yer sıkıntısı doğurmuş,
bu sebepten yakın çevresinde camii birimine sahip olan külliyelerde merkezdeki yapı birimi medrese olmuştur. Medreselerde dershane-mescid kısmının yer alması da bu durumda tesirli olmuş bir diğer faktördür. “18.Yüzyılın İlk Yarısında
Suriçi İstanbul’da İnşa Edilen Camisiz Külliyeler” adlı makalede adı geçen külliyelerin mimarları, banileri, konumları, mimari ve süsleme özellikleri arşiv vesikaları ve araştırma eserlerle desteklenerek ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.
