Plastic Pollution in Albania: Survey on Citizen’s Perceptions and Attitudes
Authors: Bajrami Ani , Osmani Fundime , Sokoli Elvisa
Published: May 2023

Plastics are polymers synthesized from petrochemicals or from biomass raw materials. In recent decades, worldwide plastics production has increased exponentially. An estimated 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been produced worldwide resulting in an estimated 6.3 billion tons of plastic waste disposed in landfill or discarded into the natural environment. Plastic is widely used: is inexpensive, durable, resource efficient and easily attainable. The article makes some preliminary observations based on questionnaire data distributed through probability stratified random sampling method between November 2021 and July 2022. The data provides some useful insights into citizens perceptions and attitudes about plastic pollution. Majority of respondents agree on the fact that plastic pollution is harmful to the environment (94%). Additionally, 77.1% of respondents agree both on the fact that nature conservation activities are necessary and successful if community or citizens are involved. Strategies which can be used to reduce plastic pollution need to provide further incentives for public participation. An example is using citizen science, to address and mitigate plastic pollution both at local and national level.

Published: May 2023

Due to its unique properties, collagen is used in various emerging fields such as the pharmaceutical and biomedical device industries, as well as in related fields: nutraceuticals, cosmetics, food, beverages and nutritional supplements. Marine gelatin, one of the biomaterials involved in food and medicinal research, is denatured collagen produced from acid, alkaline, or enzyme hydrolysis. Gelatin is a crucial ingredient for the food, pharmaceutical, medical, biomedical focusing on versatile applications. Jellyfish collagen is a valuable resource for bioplastics and biomaterials used in various health sectors. Recently, marine organisms have been considered viable sources of collagen because they do not harbor transmissible diseases. In particular, fish biomass, as well as the catches of other types of organisms, such as small fish, jellyfish, starfish, sea urchins, sponges, possess a significant content of collagen. The collagen extracted from the species Rhizostoma pulmo from the Black Sea basin is also part of the bioresources that can be used to obtain natural marine collagen from this type of invertebrates. The use of discarded or hither to unused biomass could contribute to the development of a sustainable collagen extraction process with a positive impact on the ecosystem. In the future it is desired to approach a world strategy that minimizes the amount of waste and that supports all three general objectives of sustainability: sustainable economic well-being, social well-being and environmental protection.
The Relationship Between Personality Traits and Stress at Work
Authors: Rizanaj Nderim , Thaqi Butrint
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Stress is one of the normal phenomena, which in most cases are accompanied by problems and defects in the work we perform. There is a big burden in our education system, due to various reforms and socio-economic transition, but on the other hand we also have problems with the quality of teaching which are affecting the development of teaching in inadequate forms. Methodology: The research included a total of 60 teachers from schools in the municipality of Prizren, based on a random sample. Descriptive methods and correlation were used as methods of analysis to measure the correlation between the two variables, ie how much personality affects the level of stress at work. The main purpose of the research was the correlation coefficient of personality type to the level of stress in the work of teachers. Results: The general level of personality factors affects the increase of stress at work. The results show that the correlation between personality and stress (things that teachers find difficult to do) is .113 a low positive correlation, while the significance level is .389 which means that it is above the 5% confidence level, while even the correlation between personality and stress (the things teachers do most) has a low negative correlation of -.159, whereas the significance is .224 which is above the 5% confidence level. Teachers who feel attractive and extravagant do not have high stress. Teachers who feel the need for power have high levels of stress. Conclusion: Personality is an important factor for each individual, especially his impact on stress at work. For teachers the formation of personality should be done during the stages of development and formal education. Teachers have different personalities and also have different work habits. From the confirmation of the hypothesis it has resulted that personality has no influence on the increase of stress in the work of teachers.
“Sailing Against the Wind”: Roundtable on the Sea Rescue Cause in the Central Mediterranean
Authors: de Campos Lucien Vilhalva
Published: May 2023

This study relies on the video method and the roundtable technique to discuss audience’s ways of thinking about the sea rescue cause in the Central Mediterranean. After presenting a self-made video containing interviews with two members of a non-profit organization that conducts search and rescue operations of migrant boats on the Central Mediterranean Sea to a small sample size of participants, a roundtable discussion was held to debate their ways of thinking in relation to the sea rescue cause. In sharing video-based messages delivered by activists/humanitarian workers with a target audience, a discussion was initiated to explore some arguments, insights and assessments. Results showed a sense of frustration among participants and concerns about notions of legality vs illegality, individual vs collective responsibility, prosocial behavior, “limited” engagement, and perceiving the migration situation as an emergency. These results are further discussed in this study, and they not only contribute to a more comprehensive evaluation of audience responses to rescue operations of migrant boats in distress at high sea, but also suggest lines for future research about the role played by the video method and the roundtable technique in engaging people to debate human rights issues and humanitarian causes.

Transformation of Yuri Kazakov's Prose translated by Fei Qin into Chinese
Authors: Liu Yun
Published: May 2023

The subject of the study is the features of the reception of Yu. P. Kazakov's prose in China. Translations of Kazakov's prose into Chinese have not yet been discussed in science, which determines the novelty of the proposed study. In general, the transformation of the Russian literary text, which takes place when translated into Chinese, has been the subject of active study in recent years, and the relevance of the subject of the article is connected with this.The object of the study is translations of Kazakov's works made by Fei Qin, who most consistently turned to his texts in China. The article draws on the data of Fei Qin's biography, uses historical and literary approaches, as well as elements of linguopoetic analysis to solve comparative problems. Russian writer Fei Qin (1927-1994)'s analysis of the creative path makes it possible to understand the internal reasons for the appeal to this Russian writer of the Chinese writer, who since the 1950s was fond of Russian lyrical prose, the same age as Kazakov. A comparison of Kazakov's story "The Night" and the translation of this story by Fei Qin demonstrates the inevitable differences between them, despite the translator's declared desire to accurately convey the meaning of the original text. Some of the most expressive differences are due to the fact that the Chinese translator, interpreting modern Russian prose written by his peer, includes elements peculiar to classical Chinese poetry (onomatopoeia with doubling of hieroglyphs, some traditional images), introduces personifications that are absent in the original work. It is also shown why the literal translation, which in some cases is resorted to by Fei Qin, does not allow to convey the semantic complexity of the original.

On the numerical solution of one extended hyperbolic system
Authors: Розанова О.С. , Чижонков Е.В.
Published: May 2023

Проведено численное моделирование влияния внешнего постоянного магнитного поля на плоские релятивистские плазменные колебания. С этой целью построен алгоритм в лагранжевых переменных на основе продолженной системы гиперболических уравнений. Важным свойством численного метода является зависимость его точности только от свойств гладкости решения. Кроме того, для фиксации момента опрокидывания колебаний используется контроль за пересечением электронных траекторий. Аналитически получены достаточные условия для существования и несуществования на первом периоде гладкого решения задачи. Выяснено, что внешнее магнитное поле не может предотвратить опрокидывание колебаний принципиально, даже для случая сколь угодно малого начального отклонения от положения равновесия. Численные эксперименты наглядно иллюстрируют релятивистское опрокидывание верхнегибридных колебаний. Показано, что внешнее магнитное поле может как ускорять, так и замедлять процесс опрокидывания в зависимости от выбора начального условия для поперечной компоненты импульса электронов.

Numerical simulation of the influence of an external constant magnetic field on plane relativistic plasma oscillations is carried out. For this purpose, an algorithm is constructed in Lagrangian variables based on an extended system of hyperbolic equations. An important property of the numerical method is the dependence of its accuracy only on the smoothness properties of the solution. In addition, control over the intersection of electronic trajectories is used to fix the moment of breaking of oscillations. Sufficient conditions for the existence and non-existence of a smooth solution of the problem in the first period are analytically obtained. It was found out that the external magnetic field cannot prevent the breaking of oscillations in principle, even for the case of an arbitrarily small initial deviation from the equilibrium position. Numerical experiments clearly illustrate the relativistic breaking of the upper hybrid oscillations. It is shown that an external magnetic field can both accelerate and slow down the breaking process depending on the choice of the initial condition for the transverse component of the electron pulse.
Managing the Intellectual Capital of an Organization

Published: May 2023

The article - based on the research - emphasizes the importance of employees in a modern organization that functions in an extremely volatile and at the same time demanding environment. Variability, combined with the processes of internationalization of a number of phenomena and requirements resulting from the Industrial Revolution 4.0, directly forces the need for continuous improvement of competences by the company's staff. On the other hand, managers should rationally use their intellectual potential in order to strengthen their position on the market and dominate the competition. It is essential to take actions aimed at encouraging employees to invest in themselves. Then there will be a mutual benefit: for a specific person and company for which he works. Creating a climate for acquiring knowledge will make an organization a learning and successful business organization. In such a company, intellectual capital management will become a process where any employee will be treated subjectively, and will be a co-creator of the success of his/her organization.
Design, Synthesis, and Antioxidant Activity Screening of Some New Thiazole and Pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole Derivatives
Authors: Fouad Marwa
Published: May 2023

Thiazoles and pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazoles have attracted particular attention due to their reported biological and therapeutic effects, so the ultimate objective of the current research is to develop some novel heterocyclic ingredients with thiazole and pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole constituents that have predicted biological effects. This can be achieved by combining 2-cyano-N-(5-methylthiazol-2-yl)acetamide (1) with cinnamaldehyde (2) to generate two different chemicals 3 or 4, depending on the catalyst employed. Compound 1 reacts also with furan-2-carbaldehyde (8), thiocarbohydrazide (10), acetylacetone 15 to afford the respective acrylamide deivative 9, pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole-3-thione derivative 13, and oxopyridine-3-carbonitrile derivative 19. Also bromination of compound 1 can take place using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and ammonium acetate to provide 2-bromo-2-cyano-N-(5-methylthiazol-2-yl)acetamide (14). On the other hand, when ethyl cyanoacetate was combined with thiocarbohydrazide (10), it resulted in the dihydropyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole-3-thione derivative (21), which subsequently reacted with chloroacetic acid 22 and bromo-acetamide derivative 14 to achieve the equivalent pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazole derivatives 24 and 26. Compound 24 can potentially be employed as the precursor for the production of mercaptobut-2-en derivatives 28 and 31. Applying IR, 1H NMR, and mass spectroscopy, the molecular structure of each constructed product was verified. The antioxidant activity of some of the prepared compounds was assessed using the DPPH free radical scavenging assay in triplicate. Average values were taken into consideration, with ascorbic acid used as the reference standard, and all the investigated substances demonstrated antioxidant activity.

Published: May 2023

Near-infrared (NIR) luminophores has many advantages in practical applications, however, the fabrication of NIR clusteroluminogens (CLgens) from nonconjugated luminescent polymers is still a big challenge owing to uncontrollable structures and photophysical properties. Herein, the first example of amine-capped aliphatic polyesters with full-spectrum CL from blue to NIR region based on amine-ester complexes is reported. Experimental and theoretical calculation results prove that, in addition to the blue CL (~470 nm) generated by n−π* transitions of isolated ester groups, the new red-to-NIR CL (600~780 nm) originate from short-range and long-range amine-ester complexes based on through-space charge transfer (TSCT), respectively. Compared with small molecules, the unique and abundant microstructures of polymer chains directly generate long-range complexes and induces NIR CL. Meanwhile, the intensity ratios of these CL peaks are easily manipulated by molar contents and types of amines, chain structures of polyesters. This work not only constructs a novel platform to design high-efficiency, controllable, full-spectrum CLgens and breaks though the wavelength limitation of CLgens for the first time, but also enriches the relationship of polymer structures and CL properties.

Authors: Xiao Hang , Li Rong , Shi Xiaoyang , Chen Yan , Zhu Liangliang , Wang Lei , Chen Xi
Published: May 2023

The past decade has witnessed rapid progress in deep learning for molecular design, owing to the availability of invertible and invariant representations for molecules such as simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES), which has powered cheminformatics since the late 1980s. However, the design of elemental components and their structural arrangement in solid-state materials to achieve certain desired properties is still a long-standing challenge in physics, chemistry and biology. This is primarily due to, unlike molecular inverse design, the lack of an invertible crystallographic representation that satisfies symmetry invariances. To address this issue, we have developed a simplified line-input crystal-encoding system (SLICES), which is a string-based crystallographic representation that satisfies both invertibility and symmetry invariances. SLICES successfully reconstructed 94.95% of over 40,000 structurally and chemically diverse crystal structures, showcasing an unprecedented invertibility. Furthermore, by only encoding compositional and topological data, SLICES guarantees symmetry invariances. We demonstrate the application of SLICES in the inverse design of direct narrow-gap semiconductors for optoelectronic applications. As a string-based, invertible, invariant and efficient crystallographic representation, SLICES has the potential to become a standard tool for in-silico materials discovery.

In this study, we report a gold-catalyzed electrophilic aromatic substitution of protected (-)-epigallocatechin gallates (EGCG) with amidomethyl 2-alkynylbenzoates. Treatment of the amidomethyl 2-alkynylbenzoates with (Ph3P)AuOTf provided N-acyl imines under neutral conditions. The N-acyl imines underwent electrophilic aromatic substitution of EGCG at the electron-rich 8 and 6 positions of the A ring. This method facilitated direct modification of a protected EGCG to produce EGCG derivatives containing a (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)methyl sulfonyloxy group on the A ring, serving as synthetic precursors for 18F-labeled EGCGs. Importantly, the introduction of the radiohalogen labeling unit at the A ring of EGCG did not diminish their cytotoxicity against U266 cells compared to EGCG. Finally, we successfully synthesized a 18F-labeled EGCG via 18F-fluorination of the precursors followed by acidic deprotection.
Understanding Antiferromagnetic and Ligand Field Effects on Spin Crossover in a Triple-decker Dimeric Cr(II) Complex
Authors: Sarkar Arup , Hermes Matthew , Cramer Chris , Anderson John , Gagliardi Laura
Published: May 2023

Two possible explanations for the temperature-dependence of spin crossover (SCO) behavior in the dimeric triple-decker Cr(II) complex ([(C5Me5)Cr(P5)Cr(C5Me5)]+) have been offered. One invokes variations in antiferromagnetic interactions between the two Cr(II) ions, while the other posits the development of a strong ligand-field effect favoring the low-spin ground state. We perform multireference electronic structure calculations based on multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory to resolve these effects. We find quintet, triplet, and singlet electronic ground states, respectively, for the experimental geometries at high, intermediate, and low temperatures. The ground-state transition from quintet to triplet at intermediate temperature derives from increased antiferromagnetic interactions between the two Cr(II) ions. By contrast, the ground-state transition from triplet to singlet at low temperature is attributable to increased ligand-field effects, which dominate with continued variations in antiferromagnetic coupling. This study provides quantitative detail for the degree to which these two effects can act in concert for the observed SCO behavior in this complex and others subject to temperature dependent variations in geometry.

HEARTS en las Américas es el programa insignia de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud para acelerar la reducción de la carga de enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) mediante la mejora del control de la hipertensión y la prevención secundaria de las ECV en la atención primaria de salud. Es necesaria una plataforma de monitoreo y evaluación (M&E) para ejecutar el programa, establecer puntos de referencia y notificar a los responsables de las políticas. En este artículo se describen las bases conceptuales de la plataforma de M&E de HEARTS, como los principios de diseño del software, la contextualización de los módulos de recopilación de datos, la estructura de los datos, la presentación de información y la visualización. Se escogió la plataforma web District Health Information Software 2 (DHIS2) para ejecutar el ingreso de los datos agregados de los indicadores de resultados, procesos y factores de riesgo estructurales de las ECV. Además, se eligió PowerBI para la visualización de datos y la elaboración del panel de control para el análisis del desempeño y las tendencias más allá del nivel de los centros de atención médica. El desarrollo de esta nueva plataforma de información se centró en el ingreso de datos de los centros de atención primaria de salud, la presentación oportuna de datos, las visualizaciones y, en última instancia, el uso activo de los datos para impulsar la toma de decisiones en la ejecución del programa con equidad y la mejora de calidad de la atención. Además, se evaluaron las enseñanzas extraídas y las consideraciones programáticas con la experiencia del desarrollo de software de M&E. Lograr el apoyo y la voluntad política es esencial para desarrollar y poner en marcha una plataforma flexible en múltiples países que sea contextualmente específica según las necesidades de las diversas partes interesadas y los niveles del sistema de atención de la salud. La plataforma de M&E de HEARTS brinda apoyo para la ejecución del programa y muestra las limitaciones estructurales y gerenciales, así como las brechas en la atención. Esta plataforma será fundamental para monitorear e impulsar nuevas mejoras a nivel de la población en lo que respecta a las ECV y otras enfermedades no transmisibles relacionadas.

In this paper, we achieve the general solution and generalized Ulam - Hyers stability of a $n$-dimensional additive-quadratic-cubic-quartic (AQCQ) functional equation$$\begin{aligned}f\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} v_i+2 v_n\right)+f\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} v_i-2 v_n\right)= & 4 f\left(\sum_{i=1}^n v_i\right)+4 f\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} v_i-v_n\right)-6 f\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} v_i\right) \\& +f\left(2 v_n\right)+f\left(-2 v_n\right)-4 f\left(v_n\right)-4 f\left(-v_n\right)\end{aligned}$$where $n$ is a positive integer with $n \geq 3$ in Banach Space (BS) via direct and fixed point methods. The stability results are discussed in two different ways by assuming $n$ is an odd positive integer and $n$ is an even positive integer.

Students must not only focus on the technical side, but also enhance their soft skills. A student working part-time can improve his soft skills without being absent from the online course. The online classroom can record, what is beneficial for the student to playback if they understand less during the class. This situation indicates that, students working part-time can attend the class in their place of work and, if they know less, can play a record. However, soft skills should be taught on campus in practice, but cannot do it because of COVID-19. Soft skills can be acquired throughout part-time work because it is not distracting the online classroom. This shows that the benefit of part-time student work is can increase their soft skills and employability.

In moving towards world-class education, Malaysia needs to bring about a change that will impact the world of education. Therefore, the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE) has examined the things that need to be implemented and strive to succeed. In line with the goals and times, KPM has implemented 21st-century learning (PAK21) starting in 2014. PAK21 is said to be a student-centred learning process. Several elements are applied as the basic standards in PAK21, namely communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and the application of values and ethics. One pedagogical approach that stimulates 21st-century learning (PAK21) is the project-based learning approach (PBP). PBP is a long-term approach that celebrates students' abilities, thinking skills, and talents by producing artefacts or products such as posters, disinfectants, construction of hurricane tanks, drama staging, and more. The main objective of this study was to identify the improvement of students' communication skills through project-based learning (PBL) approach: 'My Roller-Coaster' in science learning. This study is analyzed descriptively and uses a quantitative approach. The study sample consisted of 40 Form 3 students who took the Secondary School Standard Curriculum (KSSM). This study showed a difference in the level of achievement of Science subjects between the treatment group and the control group in the post-test with 53.4%. In contrast, the improvement in the treatment group's achievement level was more significant than the control group, with a mean difference of the treatment group (8.3) compared to the control group (4.8). The findings also showed an improvement in the communication skills of the treatment group (PBL) by 82.9%. Studies show that the PBP approach can improve students' communication skills and increase the level of achievement in science learning. Thus, the PBP: 'My Roller-Coaster' approach can be used to complement science learning in the classroom.
