The Effect of Phosphoric Acid on the Flame Retardancy and Interfacial Adhesion of Carbon Fiber with Thermoplastic Resin PA6
Authors: Kim Gyungha , Kim Daeup
Published: January 2025

This study investigated the effect of phosphoric acid treatment on carbon fibers to enhance their flame retardancy, the impact of carbon fiber surface treatment conditions on the interfacial adhesion between carbon fibers and PA6, and the chemical reaction mechanisms on the carbon fiber surface. Phosphoric acid treatment resulted in a flame-retardant effect, with a limited oxygen index of over 52.8%, and V0 level flame retardancy characteristics in the UL-94 test when the concentration exceeded 0.5 vol.%. When the treatment time was fixed at 30 min, the tensile strength increased by approximately 2%, and the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) increased by approximately 11% at 0.5 vol.% phosphoric acid, accompanied by an increase in hydroxyl (C–O), carbonyl (C=O), phosphate (P–O), and phosphoryl (P=O) groups. However, at concentrations higher than 0.5 vol.%, the tensile strength decreased by approximately 90%, and the IFSS decreased by approximately 12%, compared to the untreated nonwoven fabric. When the treatment time was varied at 0.5 vol.% phosphoric acid, both the tensile strength and IFSS increased continuously up to 10 min, with a 31% increase in tensile strength and a 17% increase in IFSS, along with an increase in O=C–O, P–O, and P=O groups, as well as surface energy. After 10 min, the tensile strength decreased by approximately 20%, while the IFSS and surface energy remained relatively unchanged.

The printing and dyeing industries generate wastewater containing toxic, hard-to-degrade organic dyes like methylene blue (MB). Recent research focuses on biodegradable, renewable materials such as cellulose-based absorbents to address this issue. This study investigates bacterial cellulose (BC) functionalized with citric acid as a sustainable adsorbent for MB removal. BC, a by-product of kombucha fermentation, is functionalized with citric acid, and its adsorption capacity is analyzed. BC production reaches 3.65 ± 0.16 g L−1 by day 12. Using 0.05 g of functionalized BC (FBC) at pH 7, a maximum adsorption capacity of 13.22 ± 1.27 mg g−1 is achieved for MB at 600 mg L−1 over 60 min. The adsorption mechanism is complex, with both pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order models fitting well at 20 °C, 40 °C, and 70 °C. The carboxyl groups of citric acid bind to the hydroxyl groups of cellulose fibers via esterification, altering the material’s charge, reactivity, thermal, and crystallinity properties. This functionalization enhances BC’s adsorption capacity, making it a promising material for bioremediation in circular systems.
(Re)viewing Postsecularity Through the Pragmatic Pursuits of New Religious Movements in India
Authors: Kapoor Vikram
Published: January 2025

In the contemporary postsecular context, where the influence of religion has become increasingly significant, this study explores the substantial influence of New Religious Movements (NRMs) in India. Focusing on Brahma Kumaris (BKs), a prominent NRM, this study examines their role as proponents of social change across various public spheres in modern society. The BKs’ deviation from traditional religious doctrines, their emphasis on self-transformation, and their capacity to adapt to contemporary challenges render them particularly relevant in the postsecular context. This study analyzes the pragmatic approach that BKs employ to engage with and assert their influence in contemporary public life. Specifically, it delineates five critical processes that underpin the organization’s pragmatic pursuits: detraditionalization, synergism, gender sensitization, agro-spiritualism, and digitalization. By subverting varied normativities and contesting the religious/secular dyad through their pragmatic pursuits, the BKs illuminate the shapeshifting edges and fluid integration of religion and secularity within the contemporary postsecular milieu.
Participating in the New Creation in Ephesians
Authors: Keown Mark J.
Published: January 2025

This article explores Ephesians, asking how the theme of the new creation is developed in Ephesians. Rather than specifying matters like authorship, date, and recipients, it takes a broad view of the situation of the letter so that the focus can be on exploring the theme. It argues that the new creation idea is developed in three main ways. First, while Ephesians has a decidedly realized eschatology, there are hints throughout the letter of the consummation when the whole Earth is freed from corruption and reconciled under one head, Jesus Christ. Second, particularly in chapters 1–3, the writer of Ephesians focuses on realized aspects of eschatology to strengthen the readers’ understanding of their identity in Christ and their status as people of the new creation. The writer does this to strengthen the readers to assume the posture of the new creation while living in a fallen world beset with sin and under spiritual powers. In Ephesians 4–6, the writer describes this new creation virtues the readers are to embody as they contend for God in the world. Finally, the article explores the missional appeal of the letter. The writer challenges the readers to embody the new creation ethic and join God’s mission that calls all humankind to believe in the gospel and become people of the new creation.

Authors: Kwong Koon Shing , Goh Jing Rong , Lee Jordan Jie Xin , Chua Ting Lin Collin
Published: January 2025

This paper introduces an innovative sell-type home reversion product aimed at monetizing Singapore’s public flats, serving as a new alternative to the existing Singapore Lease Buyback Scheme (LBS). This new product not only retains the LBS’s guaranteed period of residence in the property along with life annuity incomes but also enhances the product features to meet specific homeowner needs, including the ability to age in place, flexibility in retaining part of the property, options for bequests, and guaranteed principal return. By incorporating these additional features, the new product seeks to stimulate greater demand for monetizing public flats among asset-rich but cash-poor homeowners. An actuarial pricing model is developed to establish a transparent and fair framework for justifying the cost of each product feature. Additionally, we present a cost–benefit analysis from both the provider and consumer perspectives to highlight the major contributions of the new product when compared to the LBS.
Fast Generalized Radon–Fourier Transform Based on Blind Speed Sidelobe Traction

Published: January 2025

The generalized Radon–Fourier transform (GRFT) is a well-established coherent accumulation technique for high-speed and high-mobility target detection. However, this method tends to suffer from the difficulty of identifying the main lobe from multiple blind speed sidelobes (BSSLs) and the computational complexity is generally high. To address these challenges, we propose a new method, namely the BSSL Traction Particle Swarm Optimization (BTPSO), to robustly and accurately extract the main lobe. In the method, the relationship between the main lobe and the BSSLs is used to attract particles to potential positions of the main lobe in the group when trapped in local optimal, and a new termination criterion in which multiple particles should converge to the same optimal value is proposed to avoid local convergence. Simulation examples show that the proposed method can improve the probability of converging to the main lobe peak while reducing cost time, and its good adaptability to low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) cases is well verified.
A Self-Supervised Method of Suppressing Interference Affected by the Varied Ambient Magnetic Field in Magnetic Anomaly Detection
Authors: Wang Yizhen , Han Qi , Zhan Dechen , Li Qiong
Published: January 2025

Airborne magnetic anomaly detection is an important passive remote sensing technique. However, since the magnetic field caused by the aircraft interferes with the detection accuracy, this part of interference should be eliminated by an aeromagnetic compensation method. Most existing compensation methods assume that the ambient magnetic field is uniform when calculating the compensation model parameters. However, as the ambient magnetic field is actually not uniform and varies with the aircraft location, the solved parameters ignore the part of aircraft interference related to the varied ambient magnetic field. Although some of the latest deep learning-based aeromagnetic compensation methods avoid the assumption of uniformity of the ambient magnetic field, the insufficient supervision leads to a poor model generalization. To address these limitations, we propose a self-supervised compensation method. The proposed method utilizes a network to separate the total measured magnetic field into the ambient magnetic field part and the aircraft magnetic field part. By doing so, the method avoids the influence of the uniform ambient magnetic field assumption and enhances the model generalization. In addition, we introduce an improvement ratio loss function to distinguish the aircraft magnetic field from the ambient magnetic field when updating the model parameters. The proposed method is verified using measurement data from real flights. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in real flights compensation.
Leveraging Semantic Segmentation for Photovoltaic Plants Mapping in Optimized Energy Planning
Authors: Ronchetti Giulia , Aiello Martina , Maldarella Alberto
Published: January 2025

The growth of photovoltaic (PV) installations is essential for the global energy transition; however, comprehensive data regarding their spatial distribution are limited, which complicates effective energy planning. This research introduces a methodology for automatic recognition of ground-mounted PV systems in Italy, using semantic segmentation and Sentinel-2 RGB images with a resolution of 10 m. The objective of this methodology is to accurately identify both the locations and the sizes of these installations, estimate their capacity, and facilitate regular updates to maps, thereby supporting energy planning strategies. The segmentation model, which is founded on a U-Net architecture, is trained using a dataset from 2019 and evaluated on two separate cases that involve different dates and geographical areas. We propose a multi-temporal approach, applying the model to a sequence of images taken throughout the year and aggregating the results to create a PV detection probability map. Users have the flexibility to modify probability thresholds to enhance accuracy: lower thresholds increase producer accuracy, ensuring continuous area detection for capacity estimation, while higher thresholds boost user accuracy by reducing false positives. Additionally, post-processing techniques, such as filtering for plastic-covered greenhouses, assist minimizing detection errors. However, there is a need for improved model generalizability across various landscapes, necessitating retraining with images from a range of environmental contexts.
Deep Learning for Typhoon Wave Height and Spectra Simulation
Authors: Wang Chunxiao , Qi Xin , Tao Yijun , Yu Huaming
Published: January 2025

Typhoon-induced waves significantly threaten marine transportation and safety, often leading to catastrophic marine disasters. Accurate wave simulations are vital for effective disaster prevention. However, traditional studies have primarily focused on significant wave height (SWH) and heavily relied on resource-intensive numerical simulations while often neglecting wave spectra, which are essential for understanding the distribution of wave energy across various frequencies and directions. Addressing this gap, our study introduces an LSTM–Self Attention–Dense model that comprehensively simulates both SWH and wave frequency spectra. The model was rigorously trained and validated on three years of global typhoon data and exhibited accuracy in forecasting both SWH and wave spectra. Furthermore, our analysis identifies optimal input data windows and underscores wind speed and central pressure as critical predictive features. This novel approach not only enhances marine risk assessment but also offers a swift and efficient forecasting tool for managing extreme weather events, thereby contributing to the advancement of disaster management strategies.
Frequency Shaping-Based Control Framework for Reducing Motion Sickness in Autonomous Vehicles
Authors: Lee Soomin , Lee Chunhwan , Moon Chulwoo
Published: January 2025

This study introduces a motion-sickness-reducing control strategy aimed at enhancing ride comfort in Electric Autonomous Vehicles (EAVs). For lateral control, the forward look-ahead distance was adaptively adjusted based on the Motion Sickness Dose Value (MSDV) analysis from ISO 2631-1, effectively mitigating lateral acceleration and its motion-sickness-related frequency components, leading to a reduced MSDV. For longitudinal control, Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) optimal control was applied to minimize acceleration, complemented by a band-stop filter specifically designed to attenuate motion-sickness-inducing frequencies in the acceleration input. The bandwidth of the band-stop filter used in this study was designed based on the motion-sickness frequency weighting specified in ISO 2631-1. The simulation results of the proposed control indicate a significant reduction in MSDV, decreasing from 16.3 to 10.46, achieving up to a 35.8% improvement compared to comparative control methods. While the average lateral position error was slightly higher than that of the comparative controller, the vehicle consistently maintained lane adherence throughout path-following tasks. These findings underscore the potential of the proposed method to simultaneously mitigate motion sickness and achieve a robust path-following performance in autonomous vehicles.

Published: January 2025

Terahertz (THz) is an emerging technology particularly well suited for the non-destructive investigation of inner structures in polymers. To realize its full potential, THz imaging systems adapted to industrial constraints as well as more application studies in areas of interest are needed. In this work, we present a fast and flexible THz imaging system comprising hardware and software and demonstrate its capabilities for the investigation of defects in glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRPs), particularly for the detection of drilling-induced delaminations. Measurement data obtained by raster scanning of GFRP samples are gathered in 3D volumetric images. THz images of the drilled holes are then compared to reference images of the same holes obtained from X-ray computed tomography measurements. We show that THz imaging is capable of identifying not only artificial defects in the form of aluminum and Teflon inlays, but also real defects such as delaminations generated by drilling operations, and is suitable for non-destructive testing in industrial conditions.
A Review of Embodied Grasping
Authors: Sun Jianghao , Mao Pengjun , Kong Lingju , Wang Jun
Published: January 2025

Pre-trained models trained with internet-scale data have achieved significant improvements in perception, interaction, and reasoning. Using them as the basis of embodied grasping methods has greatly promoted the development of robotics applications. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the latest developments in this field. First, we summarize the embodied foundations, including cutting-edge embodied robots, simulation platforms, publicly available datasets, and data acquisition methods, to fully understand the research focus. Then, the embodied algorithms are introduced, starting from pre-trained models, with three main research goals: (1) embodied perception, using data captured by visual sensors to perform point cloud extraction or 3D reconstruction, combined with pre-trained models, to understand the target object and external environment and directly predict the execution of actions; (2) embodied strategy: In imitation learning, the pre-trained model is used to enhance data or as a feature extractor to enhance the generalization ability of the model. In reinforcement learning, the pre-trained model is used to obtain the optimal reward function, which improves the learning efficiency and ability of reinforcement learning; (3) embodied agent: The pre-trained model adopts hierarchical or holistic execution to achieve end-to-end robot control. Finally, the challenges of the current research are summarized, and a perspective on feasible technical routes is provided.

Published: January 2025

Violence against women in Peru is a serious social problem, and prevention and intervention strategies to address it are a priority in social policies. The results of a research project that aims to develop a location map of violence against women in Peru are presented, analyzing its territorial distribution at the level of municipal districts and its link with socio-environmental variables. The spatial analysis of data carried out shows a direct relationship between the violence against women with low population density, the rural environment, poverty, illiteracy and the ratio of women of reproductive age and adolescent mothers. Our spatial analysis of the data can facilitate decision-making and territorial planning of social and healthcare services for women who suffer violence. The classification of the Rate of Violence against Women into quartiles by municipal districts allows us to locate areas of intervention, differentiating those municipal districts with the highest and lowest prevalence.
Attitude Mining Toward Generative Artificial Intelligence in Education: The Challenges and Responses for Sustainable Development in Education
Authors: Wen Yating , Zhao Xiaodong , Li Xingguo , Zang Yuqi
Published: January 2025

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technologies based on big language models are becoming a transformative power that reshapes the future shape of education. Although the impact of GenAI on education is a key issue, there is little exploration of the challenges and response strategies of GenAI on the sustainability of education from a public perspective. This data mining study selected ChatGPT as a representative tool for GenAI. Five topics and 14 modular semantic communities of public attitudes towards using ChatGPT in education were identified through Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling and the semantic network community discovery process on 40,179 user comments collected from social media platforms. The results indicate public ambivalence about whether GenAI technology is empowering or disruptive to education. On the one hand, the public recognizes the potential of GenAI in education, including intelligent tutoring, role-playing, personalized services, content creation, and language learning, where effective communication and interaction can stimulate users’ creativity. On the other hand, the public is worried about the impact of users’ technological dependence on the development of innovative capabilities, the erosion of traditional knowledge production by AI-generated content (AIGC), the undermining of educational equity by potential cheating, and the substitution of students by the passing or good performance of GenAI on skills tests. In addition, some irresponsible and unethical usage behaviors were identified, including the direct use of AIGC and using GenAI tool to pass similarity checks. This study provides a practical basis for educational institutions to re-examine the teaching and learning approaches, assessment strategies, and talent development goals and to formulate policies on the use of AI to promote the vision of AI for sustainable development in education.

Published: January 2025

This study develops a Green Vehicle Routing Problem (GVRP) model to address key logistics challenges, including time windows, simultaneous pickup and delivery, heterogeneous vehicle fleets, and multiple trip allocations. The model incorporates emissions-related costs, such as carbon taxes, to encourage sustainable supply chain operations. Emissions are calculated based on the total shipment weight and the travel distance of each vehicle. The objective is to minimize operational costs while balancing economic efficiency and environmental sustainability. A Genetic Algorithm (GA) is applied to optimize vehicle routing and allocation, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. A Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) distribution case study in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, validates the model’s effectiveness. The results show significant cost savings compared to current route planning methods, alongside a slight increase in carbon. A sensitivity analysis was conducted by testing the model with varying numbers of stations, revealing its robustness and the impact of the station density on the solution quality. By integrating carbon taxes and detailed emission calculations into its objective function, the GVRP model offers a practical solution for real-world logistics challenges. This study provides valuable insights for achieving cost-effective operations while advancing green supply chain practices.
Dengue Vaccination: A Practical Guide for Clinicians
Authors: See Kay Choong
Published: January 2025

Dengue is a growing global public health challenge, with rising incidence and case fatality rates fueled by urbanization and climate change. The substantial mortality, morbidity, and economic burden associated with the disease underscore the need for effective prevention strategies, including vector control, personal protective measures, and vaccination. This narrative review provides a practical guide for clinicians to ensure the appropriate administration of dengue vaccines to at-risk groups, such as individuals in endemic regions and travelers to these areas. Live-attenuated tetravalent dengue vaccines, including Dengvaxia®, Qdenga®, and Butantan-DV, have demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials but require careful use due to the risk of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). To mitigate this risk, guidelines recommend vaccination primarily for individuals with prior confirmed dengue infection, emphasizing the importance of accessible and affordable point-of-care rapid testing. Co-administration of dengue vaccines with other live-attenuated or inactivated vaccines has been shown to be safe and immunogenic, broadening their potential application. However, live-attenuated vaccines are contraindicated for immunocompromised individuals and pregnant women. Enhancing clinician awareness, expanding diagnostic capabilities, and prioritizing high-risk populations are critical steps to optimize vaccination strategies. Combined with robust prevention programs, these efforts are essential to reducing the global burden of dengue and mitigating its impact.

Published: January 2025

The optimization of pumping station inlet channels is a key research area for improving the operation efficiency, reducing the energy consumption, and enhancing the operation reliability of pumping stations. For the elbow inlet channel of the Majinggang Pumping Station project, based on the Stress-Blended Eddy Simulation (SBES) turbulence model and entropy generation theory, an optimization design plan is proposed by altering the inclination angle of the flow channel base plate, the length of the transitional arc segment, and the length of the curved segment. Various schemes were analyzed and comprehensively compared in terms of the hydraulic loss, the velocity-weighted average angle, and the axial-velocity distribution uniformity of the channel. The results indicate that optimal hydraulic performance is achieved when the inclination angle of the base plate is between 8° and 10°. In a reasonable range of values, appropriately increasing the length of the transitional arc and reducing the section width (throat width) can improve the hydraulic performance of the inlet channel. The optimal model obtained achieved an impressive velocity-weighted average angle of 89.25°, along with an axial-velocity distribution uniformity of 97.5%. Its excellent hydraulic performance not only meets the design requirements of the pumping station in terms of functionality but also takes into account economic efficiency, and it serves as a valuable reference for similar projects, contributing to the more refined and intelligent development of the optimization of pumping station inlet flow channels.

L’Éducation Sentimentale, une nouvelle Comédie Humaine : proposition d’étude onomastique des noms de Frédéric Moreau et du couple Arnoux
Authors: Canin Maxime
Published: January 2025

Peu nombreux sont les travaux qui portent sur la signification des noms que Flaubert a donnés aux personnages de ses romans et moins nombreux encore sont ceux qui sont consacrés en particulier aux personnages de l’Éducation Sentimentale . Quant aux travaux qui s’intéressent aux noms des personnages qui constituent le trio principal de ce roman – Jacques Arnoux, Marie Arnoux et Frédéric Moreau –, ils ont été délaissés au profit soit de travaux onomastiques au sujet des personnages secondaires de l’œuvre, soit d’études portant davantage sur l’aspect autobiographique de ce roman. Cet article s’attache, en explicitant la méthode de baptême employée par Flaubert, à expliquer la signification des noms des personnages principaux de l’ Éducation Sentimentale en démontrant que non seulement ils sont signifiants, mais encore qu’ils permettent l’ancrage de ces trois personnages dans des caractères pour ainsi dire de comédie, ce qui permet d’envisager une relecture du roman en considérant le couple Arnoux et Frédéric Moreau comme des personnages types : le mari trompé, la femme adultère, le jeune ami et amant.

Cet article explore l’étymologie de l’oronyme Aran , que l’on trouve dans l’«île d’Arran» écossaise ainsi que dans les «îles d’Aran» irlandaises et les «montagnes d’Aran » galloises. Il examine les dérivations possibles en celtique, en indo-européen préceltique et enfin en termes du pré-indo-européen Ar-, dérivé de kar(r)-, «rocher» (parallèle au basque (h)arri ), conformément à une suggestion faite dans un précédent article. La relation entre les oronymes et les hydronmes en Ar-est ensuite examinée, en comparant des exemples dans les îles britanniques et sur le continent, et aussi la relation entre tous ceux-ci et les théonymes en Ar-, (comme l’ Arus associé à la rivière Arar) ou leurs dérivés dans la légende et le folklore. La proposition est avancée qu’un ancien «théo-toponyme» pré-indo-européen en Ar-a été fréquemment réinterprété par les Indo-Européens en termes d’éléments de leur propre vocabulaire ayant une consonance similaire, tels que ára «rein», arian (< argan), «argent» et aer (< agro ) «massacre», expliquant des toponymes tels que Argentoratum en Alsace ou Aeron (en tant que nom régional et fluvial) en Écosse et au Pays de Galles, et les noms de personnages légendaires tels que «Saint» Arianwen , Arianrhod des contes de Mabinogi et même peut-être, via une forme corrompue avec le suffixe oronymique -it, Ritta Gawr, le géant de Montem Arauium, «Snowdon».
Tendencias onomásticas en la imposición de nombres y sobrenombres a los niños expósitos. El caso de Asturias en comparación con otros lugares de la Romania
Authors: Menéndez Fernández Claudia Elena
Published: January 2025

Ce travail de recherche présente une analyse des principales stratégies anthroponymiques suivies par l’Hospice d’Oviedo (Asturies, Espagne) lors du registre de la dénomination des enfants trouvés, en prenant comme référence un corpus documentaire intégré par les Libros de los Expósitos (Livres des Enfants Trouvés) compris entre les années 1752 et 1850. C’est dans ces Livres que l’orphelinat asturien notait les chaînes anthroponymiques servant à identifier les orphelins ainsi qu’à donner des informations par rapport à leur abandon. L’étude de ces témoignages montre l’existence de motivations concrètes qui expliqueraient le choix de certains prénoms et surnoms attribués aux enfants, qui seraient en rapport avec des prénoms de Saints ou des parrains, des circonstances de l’abandon, etc. Cela établit un modèle anthroponymique, celui de l’Hospice d’Oviedo, ayant des points communs avec d’autres institutions bénévoles de la Romania à la fois qu’il conserve des traits particuliers qui le rendent singulier.

Durante o pré operatorio, é comum que os menores apresentem comportamentos que traduzem stress por não compreenderem adequadamente qual sera o passo a passo entre a entrada no hospital e o retorno à sua casa. Dessa forma, objetivamos investigar a eficácia de um instrumento lúdico, uma revista em quadrinhos, na preparação de crianças para adenoamigdalectomia, a partir da percepção de profissionais de saúde e de outras áreas pedagógicas sobre a importância desse tipo de ferramenta. Utilizando como metodologia uma revisão integrativa do tema, seguido da produção de um tecnologia educacional. Por fim, avaliação e validação da tecnologia educacional por profissionais especializados, a partir da Escala Likert. Os resultados apontam  que para 90%  dos profissionais que atuam nas áreas de saude e educação entrevistados, o uso  de um material lúdico de qualidade, contribui para a melhoria do cuidado das crianças no processo pré-operatório, sendo totalmente adequadas para esse processo.

Дослідження депонування Карбону лісовими екосистемами на регіональному рівні є важливою ланкою вико-нання міжнародних угод та конвенцій, ратифікованих Україною, щодо викидів парникових газів до атмосфері щодо інвентаризації джерел емісії та секвестрації атмосферного СО2. Досліджено регіональні запаси органічного Карбону у чотирьох блоках лісових екосистем Буківської полонини Верховинсько-Вододільного хребта (лісова підстилка, грубі деревні залишки, фітомаса). Виявлено, що у лісовій підстилці букових лісів запаси органічного Карбону становлять 2.85-7.56 т·га⁻¹ у весняний період та 5.64-8.85 т·га⁻¹ у осінній. У грубих деревних залишках накопичується від 6.96 т·га⁻¹ до 51.82 т·га⁻¹ органічного Карбону. У ґрунті в шарі потужністю 0-0.25 м запас Сорг. становить 20.22-65.17 т·га-¹. Запаси органічного Карбону у фітомасі коливаються від 33.01 т·га⁻¹ до 164.21 т·га⁻¹ та закономірно є найбільшими у 90-100 річних букових лісах. Показники секвестрованого Карбону на вирубці мають істотні відмінності у зв’язку з відсутністю більшої частини деревного ярусу. Це зумовило низькі показ-ники запасів органічного Карбону у підстилці 2.85±0.53 т·га⁻¹ та ґрунті 25.49±3.57 т·га⁻¹ за рахунок втрат органі-чного Карбону у вигляді СО2 атмосферу через інтенсивні процеси мінералізації та водної ерозії за рахунок змиву. Запаси органічного Карбону у грубих деревних залишках на ділянці зрубу виявилися найбільшими та становили 51.82 т·га⁻¹ за рахунок накопичення порубних решток. Найбільші значення органічного Карбону виявлені у фі-томасі та ґрунті як найбільш стабільних блоках лісових екосистем у часовому аспекті, а найменші - у блоці підс-тилки, так як цей пул лісових екосистем має найінтенсивніші показники мінералізації та ротації за вегетаційний період. Вуглецева ємність старовікових букових лісів щодо акумуляції атмосферного СО2 та утримування його в усіх блоках лісових екосистем Буківської полонини Вододільно-Верховинського хребта становить 158-257 тон секвестрованого Карбону на 1 га. Проведення суцільних рубок у старовікових лісах зумовлює втрати понад 30% секвестрованого Карбону на період формування середньовікового деревостану, тобто на 50-70 років.

This Study combines extracts of
Clitoria ternatea (butterfly pea flower) and
Cyanthillium cinereum (small ironweed) to
formulate and test a hair serum intended to treat
dandruff. The necessity for a safe, natural substitute
for artificial dandruff treatments was the issue that
was addressed. Both plants were picked because of
their abundance of phytochemicals, which include
phenolic acids, flavonoids, alkaloids, and
anthocyanins. These compounds have antifungal,
antioxidant, and scalp-nourishing qualities.
Aqueous maceration was used to prepare the
extracts, which were then combined with excipients
such glycerine, xanthan gum, lavender oil, tween
80, phenoxy ethanol, and rose water to create a
serum formulation. Physical appearance,
homogeneity, pH, viscosity, Spreadability,
antifungal activity, and stability were all assessed
for the serum. The agar well diffusion method was
used to investigate the antifungal efficacy against
Candida albicans, with a 13 mm zone of inhibition.
According to the results, the serum works well to
prevent dandruff, support healthy scalps, and lower
the possibility of adverse consequences linked to
chemical formulations. The recipe offers a nongreasy, lightweight solution that is appropriate for
daily usage. To ensure its safety and effectiveness
for wider use, preclinical and clinical research are
advised

Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic
autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the
joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and functional
impairment. Traditional treatment options,
including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs) and disease-modifying antirheumatic
drugs (DMARDs), often come with limitations
related to efficacy, safety, and tolerability.
Igrutimod, a novel immunomodulatory agent, has
emerged as a potential therapeutic activity.
Methods:. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies
assessing Igrutimod's effects on disease activity,
adverse events, and patient-reported outcomes. The
primary outcome measure was the Disease Activity
Score (DAS28), which quantifies disease activity in
RA. Secondary outcomes included the assessment
of adverse events and improvements in quality of
life metrics.
Results:Results from multiple studies indicate that
Igrutimod significantly reduces DAS28 scores,
demonstrating a mean reduction of 2.5 to 3.1 points
over various study durations. The drug was welltolerated, with a reported adverse event rate
ranging from 8% to 12%, predominantly consisting
of mild to moderate side effects. Additionally,
improvements in quality of life were reported in
25% to 35% of patients, indicating a meaningful
impact on daily functioning and well-being.
Conclusion: Igrutimod represents a promising
advancement in Rheumatoid arthritis management,
with its ability to effectively decrease disease
activity and enhance quality of life

A reliable and precise HPLC method was
developed for the simultaneous determination of
perindopril and amlodipine. The separation of the
compounds was achieved on a reverse-phase C18
column, utilizing a mobile phase composed of
acetonitrile and phosphate buffer in a 66:40 v/v
ratio. The detection was performed at a wavelength
of 237 nm, with a flow rate set at 0.6 mL/min. The
method demonstrated linearity for amlodipine
within the range of 10 to 50 µg/mL, and for
perindopril, within the range of 200 to 1000 µg/mL.
The proposed method was validated for linearity,
accuracy, precision, and robustness. It can be
effectively employed to quantify the drug contents
in commercial formulations.
