Thermal Fluctuations and Framework Flexibility of IRMOF-1 upon CH4 and CO2 Adsorption
Authors: Parashar Shivam , Corrente Nicholas J. , Neimark Alexander V.
Published: July 2024

Flexibility of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) plays an important role in their applications for adsorption separations, energy and gas storage, and drug delivery. Here, we demonstrate that thermal fluctuations and flexibility of the host framework affect adsorption of guest molecules, which in turn exert a significant adsorption stress, up to 0.1 GPa, on the framework causing its deformation. We find that in contrast with expected gradual swelling during adsorption, framework deformation is non-monotonic with sharp contraction during the pore filling followed by partial expansion. As an important example, we study adsorption of CH4, and CO2 on iso-reticular IRMOF-1 crystal at different temperatures using an original computational scheme of iterative grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and isothermal-isobaric ensemble molecular dynamics (NPT-MD) simulations. The effects or non-monotonic framework flexibility are confirmed by quantitative agreement with adsorption experiments and are expected to be characteristic to different degrees to other MOFs.

Authors: Maestro Aitor , Ötvös Sándor , Auer Gerald , Kappe Oliver
Published: July 2024

The development of recyclable catalysts has gained more attention in recent years in order to minimize the environmental effect and the overall cost of catalytic processes. Some of the most broadly used chiral organocatalysts are BINOL-derived chiral phosphoric acids, making it necessary to develop efficient recycling strategies. While literature reports require up to 13 synthetic steps to access recyclable chiral phosphoric acids, here we report a general and concise 9-step approach to anthracene decorated heterogeneous chiral phosphoric acids (PS-Anth), which have shown high performance either in batch or continuous flow without observing catalyst degradation.

Published: July 2024

Generative models have revolutionized de novo drug design, allowing to produce molecules on-demand with desired physicochemical and pharmacological properties. String based molecular representations, such as SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System) strings and SELFIES (Self-Referencing Embedded Strings), have played a pivotal role in the success of generative approaches, thanks to their capacity to encode atom- and bond- information and ease-of-generation. However, such ‘atom-level’ string representations have certain limitations, in terms of capturing information on chirality, and synthetic accessibility of the corresponding designs. In this paper, we present fragSMILES, a novel fragment-based molecular representation in the form of string. fragSMILES encode fragments in a ‘chemically-meaningful’ way via a novel graph-reduction approach, allowing to obtain an efficient, interpretable, and expressive molecular representation, which also avoids fragment redundancy. fragSMILES advances the state-of-the-art of fragment-based representations, by reporting fragments and their ‘breaking’ bonds independently, without fragment redundancy. Moreover, fragSMILES also embeds information of molecular chirality, thereby overcoming known limitations of existing string notations. When compared with SMILES and SELFIES for de novo design, the fragSMILES notation showed its promise in generating molecules with desirable biochemical and scaffolds properties.
Morphology determination of luminescent carbon nanotubes by analytical super-resolution microscopy approaches
Authors: Lambert Benjamin , Kerkhof Hadrien , Flavel Ben , Cognet Laurent
Published: July 2024

The ability to determine the precise structure of nano-objects is essential for a multitude of applications. This is particularly true of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), which are produced as heterogeneous samples. Current techniques used for their characterization require sophisticated instrumentation, such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), or a compromise on accuracy. In this paper, we propose to use super-resolution microscopy (SRM) to accurately determine the morphology (orientation, length and shape) of individual luminescent SWCNTs. We generate super-resolved images using three recently published SRM analytical software packages (DPR, eSRRF and MSSR) and metrologically compare their performance to determine the morphological properties of SWCNTs. For this, ground-truth information on nanotube morphologies were obtained using polarization measurements and AFM to directly correlate the results from SRM at the single particle level. We show a more than 4-fold improvement in resolution over standard photoluminescence imaging, revealing hidden morphologies as efficiently as AFM. We finally demonstrate that DPR, and eventually eSRRF can effectively assess SWCNT length distribution in a much faster and more accessible way than AFM. We believe that this approach can be generalized to other types of luminescent nanostructures and thus become a new standard for rapid and accurate characterization of samples.
Applying Marcus Theory to Describe Photoluminescent Intermittency and Temperature Dependent Emission in CdTe Nanoplatelets
Authors: Tan Xuanheng , Ahmed Tasnim , Murphy Linus , Coffey Belle , Caram Justin
Published: July 2024

Photoluminescence (PL) intermittency (also known as blinking) is a critical aspect of the optical properties of molecules and nanomaterials. Considerable work has expounded on the mechanism of blinking in nanocrystals, with the canonical model arguing that intermittently trapped charges serve to quench emission via charge-exciton Auger recombination. The dynamics of the emission trace are analyzed by fitting a histogram of on- and off- times to power-law distributions. These histograms in turn, reveal non-exponential kinetics, arguing for a distribution of electron or hole traps. What is not revealed is the origin of these distributed states, whether they arise from various trap energetic depths, long-range electron or hole tunneling, or any other process which gives rise to distributions of rates. We explore a model which invokes both a distribution of trap energies, combined with the chemical intuition of charge transfer via Marcus theory. We find that a self-consistent Marcus theory model can explain different power-law slopes for on- and off- times, and the observed changes in intensity as a function of temperature in films of CdTe nanoplatelets (NPLs). We believe this provides a self-consistent model to describe blinking behavior that leads to unusually low PL quantum yield (QY) in CdTe, and argues that improved passivation will be critical to achieving higher QY.

Published: July 2024

Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of risk management on the semi-transhumant livestock system, in order to suggest a better model for managing the sheep production cycle.
 
Theoretical Framework: The semi-transhumant livestock system is facing an unprecedented set of risks occurring simultaneously. Therefore, studying the organization and management techniques of the semi-transhumant livestock system through a techno-economic approach, compares two situations (SWOR and SWR) based on using indisputable measures.
 
Method: A field survey is conducted with 300 breeders during the period from 2019 to 2021. The collected data are processed using the statistical model SPSS.
 
Results and Discussion: It is concluded that despite different situations, the same simplified production organization and marketing channels (social networks, informal contracts, etc.) are maintained. The SWR shows a decrease in herd size, adoption of 3 reproductive cycles, herd mobility and average profit, etc. However, there is an increase in production costs and acquisition of food products, etc. Ultimately, the results show that while unique risk situations impact semi-transhumant farming systems differently, their technical organizational and management measures render this impact insignificant based on non-parametric chi-square testing.
 
Research Implications: This study provides insight into risk management offering implications for technically feasible practices that are reliable and bio-economically viable for sustaining semi-transhumant livestock system.
 
Originality/Value: The value of this research is demonstrated by appropriate technical organizational and management measures impacting techno-economic farming results which will be useful to consider when other risks arise in future.

O objetivo neste estudo é auferir os conhecimentos dos empresários juniores da Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz (UESC) sobre a Educação Financeira. Os conceitos da Educação Financeira podem ser aplicados no dia a dia como, por exemplo, na compra de um bem ou serviço, nos juros da compra no cartão de crédito, na análise para a realização de um investimento e no planejamento para a aposentadoria, etc. É ainda educar a ação no trato das finanças pessoais e deve ser desenvolvida de forma gradual e constante. Entretanto, ainda não é um tema abordado em todas as escolas do Brasil, apesar de ser uma exigência legal. Os indicadores não mostram uma sociedade educada financeiramente, inclusive entre os jovens. Dessa forma, o problema da pesquisa é se há reflexo da atividade dos empresários juniores no gerenciamento de suas finanças pessoais. A metodologia é de natureza aplicada, de caráter exploratório com levantamento bibliográfico combinada à aplicação de questionário. Na análise percebeu-se que a atividade dos empresários juniores tem mais reflexo para os integrantes de empresas voltadas à gestão empresarial do que às demais áreas do conhecimento. Conclui-se que a ação da empresa júnior tem impacto na gestão financeira pessoal dos empresários juniores por expor os mesmos em um ambiente que trabalha com linguagem financeira tanto na execução dos projetos, quanto na gestão da própria empresa.

Authors: Moraes Bergson Cavalcanti , Rafael Sodré Giordani , Barreiro de Souza Everaldo , Alves Pinheiro Hugo
Published: July 2024

O Brasil é atualmente um dos maiores produtores de soja no cenário mundial, com uma produção de 123.829,5 milhões de toneladas em uma área plantada de 40.921,9 milhões de ha, gerando assim uma produtividade de 3.026 kg por ha. Uma importante região que se estabeleceu nos anos de 1980 no cenário nacional de produção de soja é a de a região de Matopiba, acrônimo das iniciais dos estados do Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí e Bahia, localizada na interseção territorial desses estados. Com uma área plantada inicial de soja apenas de 57.494 ha em 1985, saltou para 5.019.536 ha no final de 2021, integralizando assim uma variação percentual de 1.024% em sua área plantada de soja nas últimas décadas. Por outro lado, a demanda por água nessas regiões tende a acompanhar esse abrupto incremento de área plantada e respectivas expectativas pelo incremento da produtividade também. E nesse cenário de maior demanda hídrica, a seca tem se intensificado nos últimos em diversas partes do mundo. O presente trabalho tem como objetivos a caracterização agroclimática e do avanço temporal seca na região produtora de soja de Matopiba nas últimas cinco décadas. Foi observado que a seca tem se intensificado de forma gradual na região de Matopiba nas últimas décadas, cenário que pode estar diretamente relacionado com a mudança dos padrões climatológicos de temperatura do ar na região, com eventos de seca atingindo a categoria extrema na última década de estudo, conforme o Índice de Severidade de Palmer.

Agricultural production in semi-arid environments represents a significant challenge, as these are areas that have soils with limited nutrient availability and scarcity of precipitation, which require adaptive and innovative strategies. The application of biochar to improve soil quality and increase productivity has been well studied. However, there is still a gap regarding the use of biochar with the technique of incorporating different topsoils on plant development and soil health. This technique has emerged as an alternative for producers to increase soil fertility. This technique is emerging as an alternative for producers to enhance soil fertility.  The hypothesis of the present study is that the use of biochar associated with the topsoil technique increases the productivity and yield of cactus, mainly by changing the properties of the soil and its microbiological interactions. To test this hypothesis, we used different sources of biochar (bean husk, coffee grounds and soursop residue) in association with two types of topsoil (Acrisol and Luvisol). Our analyzes revealed changes on plants development, chemical and microbiological soil attributes. The topsoil technique significantly interfered with mean cladode length (COM), stem diameter (DI), plant height (AL), pH, Na+, K+ and urease enzymatic activity, while biochar had a significant effect on microbial respiration rate. In general, our results expand the knowledge about the use of biochar associated with topsoil, suggesting it as a promising, low-cost way that guarantees the conservation and health of the agroecosystem, contributing with important information for the development of alternative technologies to conventional ones.

Abstract
PERSAM is a software tool for predicting environmental concentrations of plant protection products (PPPs) in soil commissioned by EFSA. The PERSAM tool was first launched in 2013. In support of the EFSA guidance document for predicting environmental concentrations of PPPs in soil (2017), the PERSAM software tool was updated for calculating the predicted environmental concentration of PPPs in soil. The computerised tools will be released for use by applicants and risk assessors for the evaluation of PPPs and transformation products according to Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) 1107/2009. The software application assists the user in performing calculations using the analytical model, as described in the guidance document for predicting environmental concentrations of PPPs in soil (2017). More specifically, the software will be able to calculate: Tier‐1 predicted environmental concentrations (PEC); Tier‐2 95th‐percentile PECs; and the selection of the grid cell including the scenario properties corresponding to the 95th‐percentile PEC as needed for the scenario development at Tier 3A, and generation of a so‐called transfer file that can be read by the numerical models described in the guidance document. PERSAM generates reports intended for regulatory submissions. Based on these reports authorities need to be able to check or reproduce the model results. This report describes the issues addressed and the solutions implemented in PERSAM 3.0.2 to 3.0.9.

The liver is a silent organ with no pain-sensing nerves. When the body's functions begin to appear abnormal, it may have entered the trilogy of liver diseases: "hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer." An abdominal ultrasound is a powerful tool for checking liver health. With the rapid development of ultrasound technology, ultrasound machines are gradually developing in the direction of miniaturization and cheapness, transforming from hospital-specific equipment to home medical equipment. However, ultrasound diagnosis requires professional knowledge, which has also become the threshold for the popularization of ultrasound diagnosis. This article uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to take the liver ultrasound images marked by professional doctors as a data set. After training of image object detection model YOLO, it can be used to detect tumors, hepatic hemangioma, radiofrequency cautery, abscess and metastatic, the accuracy can reach 98%.
TYPES AND APPROPRIATENESS: STUDENTS USAGE OF CONJUNCTIONS IN ACADEMIC WRITING
Authors: RIADI AGUS , NATHANIA NATHANIA , VALENTINO YOSAFAT BARONA
Published: July 2024

Generally, to finish a bachelor’s degree in Indonesia, undergraduate students are required to compose a research article as a form of academic writing. One of the distinctive features of academic writing is explicitness, which shows the connection between the texts by using conjunctions to help the reader understand how the various parts of the text are related and how well they understand the ideas being presented. This paper aimed to explore the conjunction usage in the research articles written by nine students from three higher educational institutions in West Borneo. Using a content analysis sheet, this qualitative research was done by interpreting the context of the conjunctions used in students’ research articles and evaluating their compatibility with each purpose of the conjunctions by adopting the misuse pattern of conjunctions theory. The research procedure consisted of coding each sentence that contained a conjunction, categorizing the conjunctions based on the types, analyzing the conjunction, and classifying the conjunctions found into two categories, which are appropriate and inappropriate. The findings showed that the most frequent conjunctions used by the students are “because they tend to add information in order to elaborate on the ideas of the sentences." The result shows that the students employed a range of conjunction types, encompassing coordinating, subordinating, correlative, and compound conjunctions. Nevertheless, in their thesis articles, students predominantly favored the use of coordinating conjunctions, with "and" emerging as the most frequently utilized conjunction. Regarding the appropriateness of conjunction usage in the articles, there are 34 conjunctions misused out of 737 conjunctions. However, it is considered appropriate since the conjunctions appropriately used are much more dominant than the misuse committed.

Indonesia is a country that ranks 5th with around 19.5 million people with diabetes mellitus in 2021 based on the International Diabetes Federation 2021 report. According to the BPS publication in 2022, since 2021 Indonesia has entered an old population structure, about 1 in 10 residents are elderly (elderly). The Indonesian population aged between 45-59 years is categorized as pre-elderly and above 60 years is categorized as elderly. In general, diseases experienced by the elderly are non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, heart disease, and hypertension. The purpose of this study is to determine the risk factors that affect diabetes mellitus status (yes / no) in pre elderly and elderly using a binary logistic regression model. The data was analysed using binary logistic regression model because the response variable is binary. The results showed that the risk factors that had a significant effect on the logit of the chances of suffering from diabetes mellitus were the IMT variable (normal, obese, obese), the last level of education (high), subjective socioeconomic status (medium), elderly age, physical activity, hypertension, consuming sweet foods, general health checks and the area of residence. Respondents who are in the elderly category have a higher chance of 1.383 times to suffer from diabetes mellitus compared to those who are pre-elderly.

Este trabalho explora a interseção entre tecnologia e design instrucional, uma área emergente e vital na educação contemporânea. O design instrucional, originado na década de 1940, é um processo sistemático para criar experiências educacionais eficazes, fundamentadas em teorias de aprendizagem e práticas pedagógicas. Com o avanço das tecnologias digitais, o potencial para personalizar e enriquecer o ensino tornou-se mais significativo. O objetivo da pesquisa é investigar como a integração de tecnologias pode potencializar a eficácia educacional, analisando as melhores práticas, ferramentas tecnológicas e os desafios éticos envolvidos. A metodologia adotada é de natureza qualitativa e bibliográfica, envolvendo a análise de artigos científicos, livros e outras publicações relevantes. As considerações finais apontam que a integração eficaz de tecnologia e design instrucional pode transformar a educação, criando ambientes de aprendizagem mais significativos e acessíveis. No entanto, é crucial abordar desafios como privacidade de dados e equidade no acesso às tecnologias para garantir uma implementação ética e inclusiva. A pesquisa sugere a necessidade de estudos empíricos futuros e a exploração contínua de novas tecnologias educacionais para aprimorar ainda mais essa interseção

Life sciences teachers’ integration of indigenous knowledge: A vision for making science classrooms culturally responsive
Authors: Mkhwebane Lwazi Nsindiso
Published: July 2024

This article presents findings from a qualitative study exploring factors influencing life sciences teachers’ integration of indigenous knowledge (IK) across various topics in grades 10-12, as mandated by the curriculum and assessment policy statement in South Africa. Despite this mandate aiming to enhance accessibility and comprehension, many teachers struggle to integrate IK meaningfully. Through in-depth interviews and lesson observations with five teachers in Gauteng Province, the study reveals challenges such as inadequate training, limited support structures, and negative attitudes towards IK. Observations highlight deficiencies in pedagogical content knowledge related to IK integration. The study suggests intensified teacher training and future research focusing on textbook content and leveraging information and communication technologies to digitize IK and make its integration more meaningful and interesting. This will enhance educational experiences for both the teachers and learners in life sciences classrooms.

This paper presents the results of a study aimed at diagnosing how newly enrolled mathematics majors reason from a mathematical standpoint when they are required to perform inductive and deductive processes and validate or refute claims of a general nature. The theoretical framework underpinning this research comprises studies and investigations related to mathematical reasoning. The results of this diagnostic reveal that students lack mathematical reasoning skills that would allow them to justify statements of a general nature. In addition, they face difficulties in the development of deductive reasoning, are prone to generalize based on specific cases and lack skills in mathematical argumentation. On the other hand, they lack basic algebra skills such as developing square binomials and factoring. These findings highlight the need to design and implement a didactic proposal that fosters the development of reasoning and argumentation in students.

The digitalization of technology in the current era of globalization has brought many changes to the industry. The emergence of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) functions to integrate all departments and industrial business functions, especially in the oil production sector. ERP systems simplify business processes by integrating key functions from various departments. The business processes in the oil production industry are currently not yet running, which has given rise to problems with errors in purchasing goods from suppliers, inaccurate calculations of raw material usage, raw material stocks not being updated quickly, and purchasing reports not being generated automatically. Based on the background of these problems, the industry requires a component modeling that helps the ERP implementation process. Component modeling allows users in industry to understand ERP systems better without being overwhelmed by product or technical details. This research aims to define the ERP system components that are taken into consideration in its implementation. The research stages are divided into five, namely pre-implementation, analysis, design, construction and implementation. The results of the research are component model designs in terms of software, process flow, user mindset, and change management that will be used in implementing the ERP system
