Electrocoagulation (EC), an newly arising electrochemical technology, gained more advances than other electrochemical technologies on wastewater treatment in recent years, including the absence of secondary chemical pollution, simplicity of equipment, and formation of large flocs than traditional chemical coagulation. Combined with existing treatment methods, such as membrane processes, adsorption and activated sludge, EC helps encounter existing issues and enhance the efficiency of current technologies. This paper reviews recent studies on the integration of EC and other technologies to illustrate the performance of the combined systems, especially the role played by EC. Then the advantages and the limitations of the integrated systems are assessed, as well as the challenges and future directions are discussed. Considering the growing global concern over water scarcity and environmental degradation, the application of EC-integrated systems represents a viable and indispensable solution for sustainable water management. This literature review intends to be helpful to researchers, investors, and government officials working and making long-range planning process on wastewater treatments.
Application of novel AIE materials in fluorescence probes
Authors: Zhao Xinghao
Published: November 2024

Fluorescence bioimaging is considered an indispensable technique in biological research due to its high sensitivity, excellent spatial and temporal resolution, non-invasiveness, rapid and real-time responsiveness, as well as its ease of accessibility. Among these, fluorescence probes play a pivotal role in fluorescence imaging technology thanks to their strong specificity, high sensitivity, rapid response, and straightforward implementation. Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) molecules exhibit a unique phenomenon: they emit weak or no fluorescence when dissolved in a solution but become highly luminescent under aggregated/clustering conditions. Leveraging this, fluorescent probes with AIE characteristics often demonstrate fluorescence activation under conditions of spontaneous aggregation or binding with analytes, showcasing high sensitivity and exceptional signal-to-noise ratios. Consequently, fluorescence probes based on the distinctive optical properties of AIE hold immense potential for applications in fluorescence bioimaging. This paper primarily investigates the synthesis properties and applications in biosensing of a series of novel organic fluorescence probes with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics. By synthesizing a range of compounds with AIE properties and experimentally determining their photophysical properties and molecular structures, the study explores the potential applications of these compounds in DNA recognition, protein detection, small molecule recognition, cellular pH detection, and bioimaging.

Published: November 2024

Objective: To study the impact of the change of sex ratio of lamprey on the whole ecosystem, and to provide guidance for the stability of the ecosystem, the conservation of species diversity, and the green and sustainable development of the ecological environment in the future. Methods: In the first step, the logistic regression model was used to study the population dynamics of lamprey from the aspects of birth rate, mortality rate, food source rate and dependent population, and the impact of sex ratio change on the ecosystem was observed. In the second step, the impact of sex ratio change on the stability of the whole ecosystem was studied through the adjoint model. In the third step, the logistic regression model was used to construct a differential equation describing female and male lamp eels in different environments to distinguish the different sexes of lampreys. In the fourth step, an ecological dynamics model was established that comprehensively considered factors such as intermediate hosts, biological subpopulations, environmental conditions, and self-competition to fully understand the impact of changes in the sex ratio of lampreys on ecosystem stability. Finally, the sensitivity analysis of the model was carried out, and the model was evaluated and expanded. Results: A model was established to affect the population dynamics of lamprey, the gender differentiation of lamprey and the influence of lamprey on ecosystem stability. Conclusion: It was found that changes in the sex ratio of lamprey populations would affect their own reproduction rate and population size, the survival and reproduction patterns of other species, and the stability of the whole ecosystem.

Authors: Liang Ruicheng
Published: November 2024

In the traditional automobile industry, which was dominant from the mid-20th century to the early 21st century, the nitrogen oxides produced by auto mobile exhaust would pollute the air. After entering the 21st century, with lithium batteries as the representative, the energy density of energy storage units has rapidly increased, solving the endurance problem that has plagued the electric vehicle industry for nearly a century. The development path of electric vehicles has become wider and gradually become mainstream products in the market. This paper explores the environmental impact of transitioning from partial to complete tram usage in an urban area with a population of at least 500,000. Initially, this paper calculates the Ecological Evaluation Index to compare the environmental effects of the two types of vehicles. Subsequently, introducing four variables to set the entire model in motion, aiming to predict the environmental conditions of the urban area when entirely reliant on tram services. Furthermore, this paper considers the realistic financial issues that need to be faced and build a model for the financial impact that the transition to pure electric buses will soon bring. The excessive costs and potential external funds caused by the transition, which will affect the final ten-year transformation plan for the city. Finally, this transit company has successfully achieved an operational income of up to 13.3 billion over the past decade even in the absence of government subsidies. This underscores the robust foundation of its financial operations and economic sustainability, providing reliable financial support for future electric bus procurement and maintenance.
A comparative study on antimicrobial effects of Rubiaceae plants
Authors: Zhu Yingjia
Published: November 2024

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has accumulated valuable experience from ancient China while mixed with impurities. Plants from the Rubiaceae family are widely distributed in China, with a long history of use and a significant amount of related literature on Traditional Chinese Medicine. This study used ethanol extracts from three Rubiaceae plants, namely Galium spurium L., Rubia cordifolia L., and Hedyotis corymbosa L., to conduct antimicrobial experiments against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. Among them, G. spurium and R. cordifolia were confirmed to have antimicrobial capabilities, while H. corymbosa did not show antimicrobial ability. In the E. coli experiment, the diameter of the inhibition zone of G. spurium extract was approximately 1.48 cm, and that of R. cordifolia extract was about 1.03 cm. For B. subtilis, the inhibition zone diameter of G. spurium extract was approximately 1.49 cm, and that of R. cordifolia extract was about 1.48 cm. This experiment, conducted under modern research methods, confirmed the antimicrobial abilities of these three plants.
Effects of different dietary modifications on carbon emissions of dairy cows based on mathematical modeling
Authors: Wang Shenghao
Published: November 2024

With the expansion of the dairy farming industry, the phenomenon of methane emissions has also increased year by year. To reduce the greenhouse effect problems caused by methane emissions, this article lists several measures to improve the diet of dairy cows to reduce methane emissions: increasing the forage quality, replacing the grass silage with the maize silage and fat supplementation. Based on the basic principles of methane production in dairy cows, we further explained the basic reasons why the three methods can reduce methane emissions in dairy cows. Later, we integrated the information of some statistical data and confirmed the validity of the three methods through the statistical code analysis through Jupyter Notebook. At the end of the paper, we pointed out the weakness: our paper neglected the difference between different kinds of dairy cows, the potential harm caused by fat supplementation, the interaction between three kinds of dietary modification and potential economic cost. We hope future researchers will limit pastures to regional analysis and consider the disadvantages of the model.
Prediction of building carbon emission based on grey Markov theory
Authors: Zhao Chenhao
Published: November 2024

The increase in carbon emissions in the construction industry is one of the factors that lead to environmental problems and hinder the sustainable development of society and the construction industry. Therefore, there is an urgent need to rationally control carbon emissions by formulating scientific and effective energy-saving and emission reduction policies so as to safeguard the development of the industry. However, because of the uncertainty and complexity of CO2 emissions, more reliable prediction and assessment tools are needed to comprehensively analyze and predict CO2 emissions. This study combines the gray system theory and Markov principle to give full play to the advantages of the two methods, using Markov theory to determine the state transition probability, find out the characteristics of carbon emissions in the construction industry, and form a suitable gray Markov prediction model. The feasibility of the prediction model is demonstrated by calculating and examining the prediction model using data related to carbon emissions from the U.S. buildings from 2002 to 2022, which greatly improves the accuracy of CO2 emissions prediction.

Introduction: The literature has shown that several patients with a history of bisphosphonate treatment appear to be at risk for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) osteonecrosis of the jaw. Objective: It was analyzing the use of BP associated with dentistry. Because it is a possible alternative for the reduction of loss and increase in bone density, as well as for the possibility of osteonecrosis, which requires therapeutic and preventive measures in the involvement of invasive practices such as dental implants. Methods: The PRISMA Platform systematic review rules were followed. The search was carried out from April to June 2024 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: 85 articles were founded, and 54 articles were evaluated and 30 were included in this systematic review. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the global assessment resulted in 24 studies with a high risk of bias and 18 studies that did not meet GRADE and AMSTAR-2. Most studies showed homogeneity in their results, with X2 =81.9% >50%. It was concluded that osteoporosis is a metabolic condition that affects alveolar bone density, but does not present problems for the installation of osseointegrated implants, as long as there is sufficient bone mass in the region where the tooth will be implanted. It suggests to the dental surgeons the knowledge of the diagnosis so that it makes a careful evaluation, directing the professional to observe the quality of the bone through routine image examinations. Further, alendronate sodium is used to decrease bone resorption, the drug should be considered as an adjunctive therapeutic agent for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Authors: Pieniążek-Niemczuk Elżbieta
Published: November 2024

Content analysis is one of the most frequently applied methods for the research of various forms of discourse, including political discourse. As a research technique, it was developed in studies on communication and is now frequently used in linguistics, for example, in text analysis, systematic studies of written text or transcribed speech, as well as in research on nontextual message content.
The following article deals with the application of content analysis in research into political discourse and discusses the crucial concepts of the research method. Specifically, it describes the manifest and latent content of political texts and presents two notions particularly useful in the evaluation of content analysis, i.e., ‘reliability’ and ‘validity.’ Additionally, two broad approaches to content analysis are discussed. The first is qualitative content analysis, and the second is quantitative content analysis.

Published: November 2024

The overall aim of this thesis was to address severe fatigue in individuals with visual impairment (VI) with a blended, vision-specific E-health intervention based on cognitive behavioral therapy ((i)CBT) and self-management (iSM). The development of the E-nergEYEze intervention was conducted with stakeholders in the field of low vision, chronic fatigue and E-health (chapter 3). A usability and feasibility study were carried out to optimize accessibility of the E-nergEYEze intervention based on user needs and to test fidelity and potential effectiveness (chapter 3). After the pilot study showed a positive trend in fatigue reduction and adequate fidelity to the study protocol, more extensive research was required to demonstrate ffectiveness and costeffectiveness. Therefore, we conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate the effectiveness of the E-nergEYEze intervention compared to care as usual in combination with an economic evaluation to support policymakers in making an implementation decision (chapter 5). User-experiences of patients, who followed the E-nergEYEze intervention, and of professionals, who provided guidance supporting these patients, were reported. A process
evaluation with quantitative and qualitative data was outlined, with a focus on areas for improvement from a user perspective and an identification of patients who would be suitable to follow the E-nergEYEze intervention in future practice (chapter 4). Subsequently, the working mechanisms of the E-nergEYEze intervention on the fatigue-reducing effect were examined, with
a focus on cognitive and behavioral factors as potential mediators (chapter 6). Since a ‘high cognitive load’ was reported to be a major cause of fatigue in individuals with VI, we performed an additional study on the association between concentration problems and severity of fatigue in individuals with VI (chapter 7), as a contribution to knowledge on the topic of cognitive overload.1This chapter provides a summary and general discussion of the E-nergEYEze intervention and the main findings of the E-nergEYEze trial. The relevance of our outcomes are outlined for (inter)national researchers, individuals with VI, healthcare professionals, low vision service (LVS) organizations and policy makers.

Authors: Berwal Parveen , Gupta Nakul , Kumar Ravi , Sherif El-Sayed M. , Kumar Ashish
Published: November 2024

Every day, construction and demolition waste is generated worldwide. As the road business and traffic grow, construction materials have evolved to include more unorthodox features. Road construction and maintenance rely significantly on quarried aggregates, resulting in high resource extraction demands. There is a trend toward employing secondary (recycled) materials rather than primary (virgin) ones to address this. This transformation requires the use of a variety of secondary and tertiary components, including waste byproducts. Numerous studies have been conducted to study and analyze the suitability and practical application of recycled materials in the field. Some recycled materials have better qualities than others, proving satisfactory performance in real-world circumstances. However, concerns about their incorporation persist, based on laboratory research and field observations. These concerns emphasize the necessity for more in-depth research to address potential difficulties. It is claimed that using recycled and tertiary materials in road construction can greatly help to save natural resources. This study predicts the attributes of selected materials, such as gradation, water absorption, maximum dry density, impact value, flakiness, and elongation, to establish their appropriateness for the production of Granular Sub-base (GSB) and Wet Mix Macadam (WMM).

Published: November 2024

This study explored the effects of visualization and phonetic processing on comprehension and memory retention in learning Mandarin as a second language. Through an experiment involving three conditions: pinyin, black-and-white pictures, and colored pictures, the study evaluated participants’ accuracy and reaction time in completing visual and phonetic-based tasks. The results showed that visual cues, especially colored pictures, increased response accuracy and decreased reaction time compared to pinyin and black-and-white pictures. These findings suggest that visualization not only aids vocabulary recall but also facilitates faster cognitive processing, potentially reducing students’ cognitive load. Implications for Mandarin teaching include the importance of using appropriate visual teaching materials to support learning and memory retention at the beginner level. These results contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting the effectiveness of multimodal learning and the importance of tailoring teaching methods to learners’ cognitive characteristics.

Revenus de retraite et âge de déclenchement de la rente du RRQ
Authors: Michaud Pierre-Carl
Published: November 2024

Dans cet article, nous analysons le lien entre l’âge de déclenchement de la rente de retraite du Régime de rentes du Québec (RRQ) et le revenu disponible (après impôts) une fois à la retraite. Malgré le fait que plusieurs déclenchent hâtivement la rente, nous montrons que ceux-ci atteignent un taux de remplacement à la retraite particulièrement élevé au Québec. Font-ils un bon choix de prendre la rente hâtivement? Nous exploitons un modèle prédictif de la mortalité estimé sur des données fiscales incorporant les effets du Supplément de revenu garanti (SRG) sur le report de la rente. Nous montrons que l’hétérogénéité d’espérance de vie n’est pas suffisante pour justifier financièrement un âge hâtif du début de la rente. Nous montrons que le gain financier du report est grandement affecté par la récupération du SRG, qui touche plus de 40% des cotisants. Malgré cet impact, le rendement alternatif mesuré par le rendement moyen effectif observé sur l’épargne demeure faible en comparaison, même sans ajustement pour le risque accru dans un placement alternatif.

Acute myeloblastic leukemia is a clinically heterogeneous neoplastic disease of hematopoiesis characterized by the accumulation of immature elements (blasts) of the myeloid lineage in the bone marrow, which ultimately leads to failure of hematopoiesis - cessation of differentiation and unregulated proliferation. The disease most often occurs in the adult population, the incidence increases with age. The course is serious - the mortality rate is the highest of all leukemias. The etiology of the disease is unknown, a significant share of mutations and a share of environmental exposure are assumed. it occurs secondary after previous cytostatic treatment or radiotherapy. Symptoms are caused by a reduced number of cells - cytopenia and include bleeding, infections and anemic symptomatology. The prognosis of the disease is unfavorable, especially in elderly patients over 60 years of age, and only early establishment of a complex diagnosis (morphology, histology, cytogenetics, molecular and immunophenotypic examination) and initiation of treatment are a condition for any success due to the potential for rapid development of complications. However, the treatment quickly fails due to resistance, which creates the necessity to search for new methods of medication.

Objective: To identify the sleep quality of sixteen-year-old adolescents in the Banská Bystrica region, with a focus on gender differences. Materials and Methods: The study focused on gender differences in adolescent sleep quality. The sample consisted of 447 students from secondary vocational schools and gymnasiums in the Banská Bystrica region. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality. Data were collected electronically using Google Forms from april to June 2023. Gender differences were analyzed using percentage and statistical methods, specifically the ?2 test, at significance levels of p < 0.01 and p < 0.05. Results: Significant gender differences (p < 0.01, p < 0.05) were observed in sleep onset, wake-up times, subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, and medication use. No significant differences were found in sleep duration, concentration impairment, alertness, or overall sleep activity scores. More than 50% of adolescents exhibited sleep disturbances. Conclusions: Interventions by schools, families, and the media should encourage adolescents to establish healthy sleep habits. The key objectives are to optimize sleep onset times and duration, create a sleep-supportive environment, and promote daytime physical activity.

Published: November 2024

The lethal toxins released by pathogenic strains of V. parahaemolyticus pose a significant challenge in the aquaculture industry. One such toxin is thermostable direct haemolysin (TDH), which is encoded in the tdh gene. TDH primarily  exerts its toxicity by creating pores in hemocyte membranes and other tissues. The toxR gene, on the other hand, plays a role in regulating the expression of virulence factors, including tdh, and is found in Vibrio species. Plants are recognized for containing phytochemicals that exhibit antibacterial properties with few adverse effects. This study acquired essential phytochemicals from PubChem, and target proteins from the RCSB protein data bank. The study was focused on the effects of alkaloids and flavonoid classes of phytochemicals on the target toxins measured by in silico (Gscore and MM/GBSA bind) investigation. This research employed in silico screening using Schrodinger's Glide, 2021 software, followed by a thorough analysis of how different phytochemicals interacted with specific binding sites, utilizing the Discovery Studio 3.5 version. Through this analysis, the most effective phytochemicals were identified, and myricetin (Myr) and (+)-taxifolin (TF) with ToxR, as well as chlorogenic acid (CGA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with TDH, were analyzed. These phytochemicals displayed promising potential as inhibitors of the toxins, as evidenced by their docking scores and affinity. Among the compounds, Myr exhibited the best G-docking score at -6.004 Kcal/mol, followed by TF at -5.262 Kcal/mol against ToxR. Whereas, CGA and CMC also demonstrated notable scores at -5.245 Kcal/mol and -4.433 Kcal/mol against TDH, respectively. The in silico analysis suggested that these phytocompounds might have strong antibacterial properties against V. parahaemolyticus by effectively neutralizing these toxins. The screening results revealed several phytochemicals with promising docking scores and significant interactions with these toxins.

The aim in this study was to evaluate the most significant factor affecting the extraction of pineapple leaf fibers and to optimize the extraction conditions. The selected four factors of pineapple leaf powder mass, pineapple leaves to distilled water ratio, pulping time, and heating option were analyzed through two-level factorial analysis via Design-Expert software. The optimum conditions were determined using central composite design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM). The extracted fibers were analyzed through the Kurschner-Hanack method for cellulose content and were used to produce dielectric materials. The permittivity value of the developed dielectric material was measured through an Agilent vector network analyzer (VNA). The best condition was obtained with a heated sample at 3 g pineapple leaf powder mass, 1:10 PL: DW, and 49.24 min pulping time, which produced 59.25% cellulose content and 2.89 permittivity value. The optimum condition was achieved at 50 min of pulping time and 1000 mL water with 46.84% cellulose content and 2.97 permittivity value. Therefore, based the obtained permittivity value, pineapple leaves could be further explored as potential dielectric materials.

Nerve tissue is vital for motor, sensory, and autonomic activities, and peripheral neuropathy is a common disorder. Trauma causes 2-3% of peripheral nerve damage, with radial and plexus injuries being the most prevalent. Sciatic, peroneal, and tibial nerves are most impacted in 18-35-year-olds and 8% of 55-year-olds have peripheral neuropathy. Tissue engineering, including secretome studies, may be useful. This study aims to assess the stability of liquid neurogenic secretome at different temperatures by evaluating its physical, chemical, and microbiological properties. This in vitro experimental laboratory study employed a post-test only group design to compare the stability of liquid neurogenic secretome stored at temperatures of 0-40°C and 20-25°C, both on the first day and after 30 days. Stability was assessed through physical, chemical, and microbiological tests. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentration was similar in the room and refrigerator groups, indicating neurogenic secretome stability. Additionally, no bacterial growth was observed from day 1 to day 30, suggesting the secretome's resistance to contamination under both storage conditions. The secretome from purified mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) along with antibiotics was effective in clearing clearing methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms in a mouse wound model and showed promise in treating multidrug-resistant chronic wound infections in a clinical trial involving dogs. This study provides insights into the physical, chemical, and microbiological stability of liquid neurogenic secretome under different storage conditions, highlighting its potential for therapeutic use.
