High-Efficiency Photoresponse of Flexible Copper Oxide-Loaded Carbon Nanotube Buckypaper Under Direct and Gradient Visible Light Illumination
Authors: Saravanan Lakshmanan , Tu Wei-Cheng , Miao Hsin-Yuan , Liu Jih-Hsin
Published: January 2025

This study used a direct dispersion and filtration technique to produce hybrid buckypaper (BP) composites of copper oxide nanoparticles (NPs) and entangled multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The photocurrent generation of the BP sheets under two different (direct and gradient) illumination conditions was investigated by varying copper oxide loadings (10–50 wt%). The structure and morphology of the composites examined through X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the presence of monoclinic cupric oxide nanoparticles in the CNT network. The difference in electrical resistivity between bulk-filled and surface-filled CuO-BP composites was assessed using the four-probe Hall measurement. The studies disclosed that the surface-loaded CuO on the CNT network demonstrated a superior ON and OFF response under the gradient illumination conditions with peak values of 17.69 μA and 350.04 μV for photocurrent and photovoltage, respectively. The significant photocurrent observed at zero applied voltage revealed the existence of a photovoltaic effect in the BP composites. An intense photoresponse was detected in the surface-filled sample CuO-BP composite in both illumination conditions. Additionally, at an illumination level of 150 W/m2, wavelength-dependent photovoltaic effects on pure BP were observed using red, green, and blue filters.
I Can Only Imagine: The Aborted Korean Ministry (1566–1571) of Father Gaspar Vilela, as Recounted by His Letter of 3 November 1571—An Illustration of Jesuit Attitudes on Notions of an Imagined Korea
Authors: Wong Hayoung
Published: January 2025

This article features an interdisciplinary analysis of the aborted Korean apostolate plan (1566–1571) described by the Jesuit missionary Gaspar Vilela (c. 1525–1572) in a letter dated 3 November 1571. This analysis’s foundation rests on Jesuit assumptions regarding the conception of an imagined Korea, a construct that Vilela discerned upon with a confidence that emanated from his awareness of the Jesuit order’s political power. The notion of an imagined Korea arguably drew from a creativity implied by the missionary imagination, an idea evidenced in thinking processes of perspective, positive/negative consubstantiality, radical self-assessment, and reduction advocated by anthropologists increasingly willing to engage with theology. Although Vilela’s plan seems far removed from the relativism of today’s more empathetic missionaries, the letter nonetheless emphasized a somewhat flexible mindset that contravened the ideas of more dogmatic Jesuit Europhiles. The 1571 Vilela letter captured the aspirational rhetoric of the Jesuits who dreamed about Korea, but these missionaries had not yet faced the adversities that would ultimately extinguish the missionary order’s already fragile hopes for a Korean ministry. This article focuses on the second half of the 1571 Vilela letter, while a future article will focus on the first half of the same letter.
Bandlimited Frequency-Constrained Iterative Methods
Authors: Garrett Harrison , Long David G.
Published: January 2025

Variable aperture sampling reconstruction matrices have a history of being computationally intensive due to the need to compute a full matrix inverse. In the field of remote sensing, several spaceborne radiometers and scatterometers, which have irregular sampling and variable apertures, use iterative techniques to reconstruct measurements of the Earth’s surface. However, many of these iterative techniques tend to over-amplify noise features outside the reconstructable bandwidth. Because the reconstruction of discrete samples is inherently bandlimited, solving a bandlimited inverse can focus on recovering signal features and prevent the over-amplification of noise outside the signal bandwidth. To approximate a bandlimited inverse, we apply bandlimited constraints to several well-known iterative reconstruction techniques: Landweber iteration, additive reconstruction technique (ART), Richardson–Lucy iteration, and conjugate gradient descent. In the context of these iterative techniques, we derive an iterative method for inverting variable aperture samples, taking advantage of the regular and irregular content of variable apertures. We find that this iterative method for variable aperture reconstruction is equivalent to solving a bandlimited conjugate gradient descent algorithm.
ZnO/MOx Nanofiber Heterostructures: MOx Receptor’s Role in Gas Detection
Authors: Platonov Vadim , Sinyashin Oleg , Rumyantseva Marina
Published: January 2025

ZnO/MOx (M = FeIII, CoII,III, NiII, SnIV, InIII, GaIII; [M]/([Zn] + [M]) = 15 mol%) nanofiber heterostructures were obtained by co-electrospinning and characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The sensor properties of ZnO and ZnO/MOx nanofibers were studied toward reducing gases CO (20 ppm), methanol (20 ppm), acetone (20 ppm), and oxidizing gas NO2 (1 ppm) in dry air. It was demonstrated that the temperature of the maximum sensor response of ZnO/MOx nanofibers toward reducing gases is primarily influenced by the binding energy of chemisorbed oxygen with the surface of the modifier’s oxides. When detecting oxidizing gas NO2, high sensitivity at a low measurement temperature can be achieved with a high concentration of free electrons in the near-surface layer of zinc oxide grains, which is determined by the band bending at the ZnO/MOx interface characterized by the difference in the electron work function of ZnO and MOx.

Published: January 2025

Malaria remains a global health concern, with 249 million cases and 608,000 deaths being reported by the WHO in 2022. Traditional diagnostic methods often struggle with inconsistent stain quality, lighting variations, and limited resources in endemic regions, making manual detection time-intensive and error-prone. This study introduces an automated system for analyzing Romanowsky-stained thick blood smears, focusing on image quality evaluation, leukocyte detection, and malaria parasite classification. Using a dataset of 1000 clinically diagnosed images, we applied feature extraction techniques, including histogram bins and texture analysis with the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), alongside support vector machines (SVMs), for image quality assessment. Leukocyte detection employed optimal thresholding segmentation utility (OTSU) thresholding, binary masking, and erosion, followed by the connected components algorithm. Parasite detection used high-intensity region selection and adaptive bounding boxes, followed by a custom convolutional neural network (CNN) for candidate identification. A second CNN classified parasites into trophozoites, schizonts, and gametocytes. The system achieved an F1-score of 95% for image quality evaluation, 88.92% for leukocyte detection, and 82.10% for parasite detection. The F1-score—a metric balancing precision (correctly identified positives) and recall (correctly detected instances out of actual positives)—is especially valuable for assessing models on imbalanced datasets. In parasite stage classification, CNN achieved F1-scores of 85% for trophozoites, 88% for schizonts, and 83% for gametocytes. This study introduces a robust and scalable automated system that addresses critical challenges in malaria diagnosis by integrating advanced image quality assessment and deep learning techniques for parasite detection and classification. This system’s adaptability to low-resource settings underscores its potential to improve malaria diagnostics globally.
The Age of Sexual Initiation Among Polish Youth: The Role of Individual and Social Factors
Authors: Izdebski Zbigniew , Kozakiewicz Alicja , Mazur Joanna
Published: January 2025

Understanding the factors influencing the age of sexual initiation among adolescents is crucial for addressing risky behaviours and supporting healthy development. This study aimed to identify determinants of sexual initiation age among Polish adolescents, focusing on gender differences and 15 factors related to lifestyle, family, school, and social environment. The analysis involved 3296 Polish adolescents aged 15–17 who participated in the international Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey in 2018. The Cox proportional hazard model (aligned with censored data) revealed that frequent use of psychoactive substances is the main predictor of the age of sexual initiation (HR = 5.20; 95% CI: 3.66–7.38), with even moderate use having an impact (HR = 2.81; 95% CI: 2.04–3.86). Gender was not found to significantly influence the age of initiation, but the determinants did vary by gender. For boys, high physical activity and intensive socialising with peers are important factors influencing the age of sexual initiation. For girls, a positive self-assessment of appearance is more strongly associated with earlier initiation, while good academic performance and family support have a delaying effect. Effective intervention programs should consider these diverse determinants since they significantly shape adolescents’ decisions about sexual activity and their ensuing psychological experiences.

Published: January 2025

Identifying urban functional zones is an important task in urban planning and smart city construction. Accurately identifying urban functional zones and analyzing their spatial distribution is crucial for optimizing urban spatial layout, improving urban management and balancing human–environment interaction. However, most of the existing studies focus on the analysis of individual data sources, which have difficulty fully reflecting the complex spatial structures and functional differences in cities. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new method of urban functional area identification which integrates multi-source data and advanced algorithms. By clustering the results of multi-factor weighted kernel density, the paper can more accurately quantify the spatial distribution characteristics of urban functional areas and better reflect the functional differences among urban areas. At the same time, this paper uses the Random Forest model to optimize the POI data and the building data to improve the classification accuracy and the generalization ability of the model. The results show that the distribution of functional areas in the Fifth Ring Road region of Beijing presents the characteristics of diversification and agglomeration: the core urban area is dominated by high-density commercial service and public service functional areas, with a high degree of functional integration; The peripheral areas are mainly residential areas and green areas, with dispersed distributions, but clear functions. The overall accuracy reaches 87%, and the model can effectively reflect the distribution and spatial characteristics of urban functional areas.

Published: January 2025

Ghrelin (GhRL) is an orexigenic hormone influenced by nutritional state. It plays a role in skin repair and diseases, though little information exists regarding its function in this organ. GhRL and its receptor were investigated in the skin of sheep under different feeding conditions to explore GhRL system presence and possible modifications due to diet. Three-year-old female sheep were free to graze from June to the pasture maximum flowering (MxF group) and from this period to maximum dryness addicted (Exp group) or not (MxD group) with 600 gr/die/head of barley and corn. Skin samples were processed for immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR. The immunostaining showed the presence of the GhRL system in skin appendages. Indeed, the ligand was localized in the hair follicles whereas the receptor was also observed in sweat glands and smooth muscle cells. The expression of both genes was significantly higher in the Exp group (3.6 and 2.9 folds respectively, p < 0.05) compared with the MxF group. These results suggest that the GhRL system is involved in the regulation of hair follicles and sweat glands. In addition, diet supplementation may positively modulate the expression of GhRL and its receptor in the skin.

Removal of TP, COD, and NH4+-N in Simulated Slaughtering Wastewater by Two Kinds of Immobilized Microalgal Spheres
Authors: Xu Wei , Zhang Xiaoping , Zhang Guichang , Zhang Xin
Published: January 2025

The treatment of wastewater using microalgae is regarded as a green and potential technology. However, its engineering application has been largely hindered because of the limitation of microalgae separation and harvesting. Therefore, immobilization technology has been widely used to embed microalgae for wastewater treatment. In this paper, sodium alginate (SA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the common immobilized carriers were used to immobilize ankistrodesmus falcatus for simulated slaughtering wastewater (SSW) treatment. The experimental results of the mass transfer and adsorption of immobilized carriers were found to show that the mass transfer of SA-SiO2 gel balls (SS-GB) was better than PVA-SA gel balls (PS-GB) and that the adsorption of PS-GB was better than SS-GB. When immobilizing microalgae with the two kinds of carriers, it was found that SA-SiO2 microalgal spheres (SS-MS) were better than PVA-SA microalgal spheres (PS-MS) for the maintenance of microalgal cell activity and that PS-MS were better than SS-MS for the resistance to biodegradation. This is because the carrier of PS-MS had a thick shell and dense structure, while the carrier of SS-MS had a thin shell and loose structure. The results of SSW treatment by PS-MS and SS-MS were found to show that the total phosphorus (TP) removal rates of PS-MS and SS-MS were 90.31% and 86.60%, respectively. This indicates that the TP removal effect of PS-MS was superior to that of SS-MS. The adsorption kinetics simulation showed that the adsorption of TP onto PS-GB was controlled by chemisorption and that the adsorption of TP onto SS-GB was controlled by physical adsorption. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) removal of PS-MS were 9.30% and 10.70%, respectively, and the COD and NH4+-N removal of SS-MS were 54.60% and 62.08%, respectively. This indicates that the COD and NH4+-N removal effect of SS-MS were superior to PS-MS. This is the result of the combined action of the degradation by microalgal cells and adsorption by the carrier.
A Multilevel Risk Assessment Framework for Nanoplastics in Aquatic Ecosystems
Authors: Venâncio Cátia , Oliveira Miguel
Published: January 2025

To date, the assessment of risks related to nanoplastics (NPLs) has been incipient. Attempts to establish safety levels to support decisions regarding restrictions on the use or reuse of materials derived from petrochemicals are critical, but the complexity of datasets makes it difficult to communicate potential NPLs-related environmental risks. Therefore, it seems essential to reduce the relevant data to a factor/number that makes it easier to clarify whether there is a risk and, above all, easily report relevant information to legislators so that prohibition, reductions, and/or readjustments to monitoring programs can be implemented accordingly. Accordingly, this study aimed to propose an improved and tiered risk assessment for NPLs following the NORMAN network, which may be outlined as follows: (i) conducting screenings to assess the risk level through deterministic methodologies (involving the collection of effective concentrations or, in their absence, the no-effect or lowest-effect concentrations, also known as NOEC and LOEC, respectively); (ii) comparing exceedance levels of risk values obtained previously in relation to predicted non-environmental effective concentrations (PNECs); and (iii) ranking the different NPL types based on prioritization indeces to facilitate future decision-making. Of a total of six polymers for which data are available, it was only possible to deliver prioritization indices for three (two freshwater and one saltwater) due to the lack of PNEC or predicted environmental concentrations (PECs). The majority of the research on this topic is focused on PS. PS is classified as a high-priority polymer, since its estimated prioritization index was ≥65 (the base value is 1). Furthermore, in freshwater, PE was also indicated to be a priority polymer (with a prioritization index exceeding 1000). It should be noted that for other widely used polymers (such as PMMA or PVC), there is insufficient data. It is therefore clear that current management and control measures for products containing PS and PE must be reconsidered to reduce NPLs’ environmental impacts.

On the necessity of symbolic interventions in dissonant monuments
Authors: Oswalt Philipp
Published: January 2025

The Charter of Venice stipulates that changes to a monument are only permitted on the basis of functional requirements. Changes to the symbolic function are explicitly excluded. However, this principle leads to conceptual problems with dissonant heritage, as illustrated by a number of recent monument conflicts in Germany concerning buildings of National Socialism as well as anti-Semitic, racist, colonial and militaristic monuments.
The planned restoration of the Haus der Kunst München (1933-37) to its original state by Chipperfield Architects in accordance with the monument requirements has led to a controversial debate (since 2017), as has the symbolically unbroken continued use of the repeatedly modernized and renovated building of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.
The insertion of Günther Domenig's Documentation Center (1998-2001) into the Congress Hall of the Nazi Party Rally Grounds in Nuremberg (1935-43) and the conversion of the Arsenal Main Building (1873-1877) into the Dresden Military History Museum by Daniel Libeskind (2001-2011) de facto overruled the premise of monument preservation, but the results were viewed positively by the public. The discussion about the appropriate way to deal with the depiction of Jewish sows in medieval churches is still ongoing. The requirements of monument preservation are at odds with the desire to distance oneself from anti-Semitic artworks. The competition (2023) for the desired redesign of the Bismarck monument in Hamburg (1906) has recently failed due to the conceptual conflict with the rules of monument preservation.
In the Anglo-Saxon world, debates similar to those in Germany have broken out in the context of the Black Life Matters movement. The essay argues in favor of granting dissonant heritage opportunities for symbolic interventions and thus deviating from the principles of the Venice Charter.

Published: January 2025

Policy uncertainties can directly affect the outcomes of policies to be implemented and other related policies. Therefore, it is important to reduce policy uncertainties. Identifying policy uncertainties and related factors is important in this regard. This study examines the impact of economic and monetary policy uncertainty on climate policy uncertainty in the United States. The relationship between the variables is examined asymmetrically using monthly data for 1988-2022. First, the “Augmented Dickey-Fuller Unit Root Test” and the “Fractional Frequency Fourier Augmented Dickey-Fuller Unit Root Test” are applied. The Asymmetric Wavelet Transform Coherence Test is also used to determine the direction and frequency of the relationship between the variables. Asymmetric time-varying causality analysis was used for the causality dimension. The significant relationship between “economic policy uncertainty”, “monetary policy uncertainty” and “climate policy uncertainty” varies at different time periods.
Size control of Au@Pt core-shell nanoparticles for enhanced catalytic activity using ultrafine bubbles and ultrasound
Authors: Mizuno Yuki , Yamamoto Yuta , YAMAGUCHI Tsuyoshi , Yasuda Keiji
Published: January 2025

Core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) composed of an Au core and a Pt shell (Au@Pt NPs) were synthesized. We started with the synthesis of the Au core by sonochemical reduction, followed by the Pt shell deposition by chemical reduction in the presence of non-ionic surfactant and ultrafine bubbles (UFBs). The Pt shell thickness increased with the UFB concentration. During the shell formation, Pt NPs were thought to adsorb on the surface of UFBs by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, which was subsequently followed by UFBs approaching the Au NP surface and providing additional Pt NPs onto the surface. The catalytic activity of Au@Pt NPs for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol was evaluated. At Pt/Au molar ratios of 0.10, 0.20, and 0.33, the catalytic activity was enhanced as the Pt shell thickness decreased. For Pt/Au molar ratios of 0.02 and 0.05, Au@Pt NPs synthesized with UFBs exhibited better catalytic performance than those without UFBs.

Published: January 2025

This research aims to analyze the influence of human resources and natural disasters on Indonesia's economic growth. Using annual time series data starting from 2008-2022 with multiple linear regression methods and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) models. This study reveals that there is no cointegration relationship between economic growth and human development indices and natural disasters. Both in the short and long term, human resources as measured using the human development index have a negative effect in the short and long term. Likewise, natural disasters which are measured using the number of natural disaster evacuees have a negative effect in both the short and long term on Indonesia's economic growth. These findings have implications that solutions to increase economic growth can be realized through economic development policies, ensuring investment in education and human development is right on target and developing disaster emergency response plans and building disaster-resistant infrastructure.

This research aims to analyze the influence of exports and government spending on economic growth in Indonesia. Using Time-Series data for the period 1999-2019 and analysis of multiple linear regression models and autoregressive distribution lag (ARDL). The results of this study show that there is a cointegration relationship between economic growth and exports and government spending. The results of multiple linear regression show that exports have an insignificant positive relationship with economic growth, while government spending has an insignificant negative relationship with Indonesia's economic growth. The results using Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) show that in the long term exports have an insignificant positive effect on economic growth, while in the short term exports have a positive and significant effect on economic growth. Government spending, both in the long and short term, has an insignificant negative effect on economic growth. This finding has the implication that increasing economic growth can be done by increasing the level of exports and allocating government spending to productive things.

Authors: Нікішина Оксана
Published: January 2025

У статті обґрунтовано доцільність синтезу трьох теорій для формування актуалізованих принципів розбудови систем агропромислових ринків (АПР) у воєнно-повоєнний період, а саме: концепцій стійкості ринкових систем, збалансованого розвитку та соціально відповідального бізнесу. Запропоновано концептуальний базис для формування розбудовчих принципів, який поєднав безпековий напрям і напрям сталого розвитку з акцентом на соціальну складову в контексті економічної безпеки держави. Відповідно до концептуального базису, обґрунтовано три групи принципів розбудови систем АПР у воєнно-повоєнний період: стійкості до загроз, збалансованого розвитку, соціальної відповідальності з акцентом на людиноцентричний підхід. У статті розглянуто сутність розбудовчих принципів та особливості їх впровадження у воєнний час. Акцентовано увагу на важливості реалізації принципів ресурсоефективності, конвергенції та інноваційності для забезпечення ефективного використання наявних внутрішніх ресурсів (природних, виробничих, фінансових, трудових, інноваційних та ін.) на засадах організації глибокої переробки сировини всередині країни, виробництва переробних товарів і виходу з ними на зовнішні ринки, що дозволить підготувати фундамент для повоєнного відновлення національної економіки. Обґрунтовано методологічні засади розбудови систем АПР у воєнно-повоєнний період у двоєдності теоретичного й методичного базису, в підґрунтя яких закладено авторський методологічний підхід до ринкової розбудови, три групи принципів, комплекс механізмів і заходів.

Authors: Borges Victor Rodrigues
Published: January 2025

Objetivo: investigar a abordagem de temas éticos e controversos, como clonagem, manipulação genética, no ensino de Biologia no ensino médio. Reconhecendo a relevância de tais discussões para o desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico dos estudantes, a pesquisa analisa como educadores integram essas temáticas em suas práticas pedagógicas. Baseado em uma revisão bibliográfica, o artigo destaca a necessidade de incluir questões socio científicas nos currículos para preparar os alunos para desafios contemporâneos e futuros. Utilizando uma metodologia qualitativa, a pesquisa abrangeu a questão dos professores de ciências em diversos contextos educacionais, analisando práticas e percepções relacionadas à inclusão de temas éticos. Os resultados indicam que, embora os educadores valorizem essas discussões, enfrentam desafios significativos, como currículos rígidos, falta de recursos e capacitação específica. Observou-se que professores com treinamento adicional tendem a integrar esses temas de forma mais eficaz. O estudo revela disparidades na atenção dada a diferentes tópicos éticos, com maior ênfase em clonagem e manipulação genética, em detrimento de outros, como impactos ambientais. Essa desigualdade reflete a urgência de currículos mais flexíveis e integrativos. Além disso, a pesquisa destaca a importância da formação continuada para os docentes, proporcionando ferramentas pedagógicas que os auxiliem na condução do debate de temas éticos em sala de aula. A conclusão aponta para a necessidade de reformas curriculares e suporte institucional robusto para que a ética seja um componente central do ensino de Ciências. Ao propor estratégias pedagógicas inovadoras, o artigo contribui para o campo da educação ao enfatizar o papel transformador da ética na formação de cidadãos críticos e responsáveis. Futuras pesquisas são recomendadas para explorar abordagens práticas e eficazes que promovam a inclusão sistemática desses temas nos currículos escolares.
