Authors: TAPALOVA O.
Published: January 2024

The authors tried to determine the psychological and pedagogical characteristics of the phenomenon of “virtual personality” in this article. The main purpose of this work is to show the results of the content analysis of socio- psychological reasons (anonymity and confidentiality, expression, and self-expression, research of roles and identities, social interaction and acceptance) for designing a portrait of a virtual personality in an “online community”. The quintessence of modeling the portrait of a virtual personality in the “online community” provides for the identification of a methodological concept for the analysis of socio-pedagogical stratification, applicable to establish a correlation between indicators of network communicative culture and behavioral patterns of Kazakhstani students.

MICROCIRCULATION (PART 1 – MAIN PLAYERS AND THEIR ROLE IN THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM)
Authors:   Belarusian State Medical University, Minsk, Belarus, N. L. Tsapaeva , V. G. Tsapaev ,   Belarusian State Medical University, Minsk, Belarus
Published: January 2024

The article presents modern views on microcirculation, which is the terminal compartment of the cardiovascular system, built into the tissue structure and determining the target function of blood circulation – the exchange between blood and tissues of substrates, energy and information, which ensures the maintenance of life support processes at the cellular level. The paper highlights the hemodynamic features that determine the main functions of microcirculatory vessels as the most important part of the blood circulation. The structure and morphofunctional features of all levels of microcirculation including the smallest vessels of the terminal bed, which preserve the morphological structure of arteries and veins, are described in detail. The main mechanisms of regulation of arteriolar blood flow are identified: neurohumoral, myogenic, and metabolic. A detailed description of the endothelium is given. The role of the barrier function of the endothelium in maintaining the balance between osmotic and hydrostatic pressure and in the formation of the lymphatic system for drainage of excess interstitial fluid has been noted. The results of studies on microvascular endothelial cells, in which genes encoding basement membrane proteins are especially active, are presented. Attention is focused on the morphological and functional properties of the endothelial cell glycocalyx as a new clinical paradigm. The glycocalyx is present in all capillaries, arteries and veins and is a structure of distant interaction of endothelial cells with their environment, changing under pathological conditions (adhesion, thrombus formation, apoptosis).
Chamber studies of OH + dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethyl disulfide: insights into the dimethyl sulfide oxidation mechanism
Authors: Goss Matthew B. , Kroll Jesse H.
Published: January 2024

Abstract. The oxidation of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the marine atmosphere represents an important natural source of non-sea-salt sulfate aerosol, but the chemical mechanisms underlying this process remain uncertain. While recent studies have focused on the role of the peroxy radical isomerization channel in DMS oxidation, this work revisits the impact of the other channels (OH addition and OH abstraction followed by bimolecular RO2 reaction) on aerosol formation from DMS. Due to the presence of common intermediate species, the oxidation of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) can shed light on these two DMS reaction channels; they are also both atmospherically relevant species in their own right. This work examines the OH oxidation of DMSO and DMDS, using chamber experiments monitored by chemical ionization mass spectrometry and aerosol mass spectrometry to study the full range of sulfur-containing products across a range of NO concentrations. The oxidation of both compounds is found to lead to rapid aerosol formation (which does not involve the intermediate formation of SO2), with a substantial fraction (14 %–47 % S yield for DMSO and 5 %–21 % for DMDS) of reacted sulfur ending up in the particle phase and the highest yields observed under elevated NO conditions. Aerosol is observed to consist mainly of sulfate, methanesulfonic acid, and methanesulfinic acid. In the gas phase, the NOx dependence of several products, including SO2 and S2-containing organosulfur species, suggest reaction pathways not included in current mechanisms. Based on the commonalities with the DMS oxidation mechanism, DMSO and DMDS results are used to reconstruct DMS aerosol yields; these reconstructions roughly match DMS aerosol yield measurements from the literature but differ in composition, underscoring remaining uncertainties in sulfur chemistry. This work indicates that both the abstraction and addition channels contribute to rapid aerosol formation from DMS and highlights the need for more study into the fate of small sulfur radical intermediates (e.g., CH3S, CH3SO2, and CH3SO3) that are thought to play central roles in the DMS oxidation mechanism.

Abstract. In May–June 2019, smoke plumes from wildfires in Alberta, Canada, were advected all the way to Europe. To analyze the evolution of the plumes and to estimate the amount of smoke aerosols transported to Europe, retrievals from the spaceborne lidar CALIOP (Cloud-Aerosol LIdar with Orthogonal Polarization) were used. The plumes were located with the help of a trajectory analysis, and the masses of smoke aerosols were retrieved from the CALIOP observations. The accuracy of the CALIOP mass retrievals was compared with the accuracy of ground-based lidars/ceilometer near the source in North America and after the long-range transport in Europe. Overall, CALIOP and the ground-based lidars/ceilometer produced comparable results. Over North America the CALIOP layer mean mass was 30 % smaller than the ground-based estimates, whereas over southern Europe that difference varied between 12 % and 43 %. Finally, the CALIOP mass retrievals were compared with simulated aerosol concentrations from two reanalysis models: MERRA-2 (Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2) and CAMS (Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring System). The simulated total column aerosol optical depths (AODs) and the total column mass concentration of smoke agreed quite well with CALIOP observations, but the comparison of the layer mass concentration of smoke showed significant discrepancies. The amount of smoke aerosols in the model simulations was consistently smaller than in the CALIOP retrievals. These results highlight the limitations of such models and more specifically their limitation to reproduce properly the smoke vertical distribution. They indicate that CALIOP is a useful tool monitoring smoke plumes over secluded areas, whereas reanalysis models have difficulties in representing the aerosol mass in these plumes. This study shows the advantages of spaceborne aerosol lidars, e.g., being of paramount importance to monitor smoke plumes, and reveals the urgent need of future lidar missions in space.

Published: January 2024

Abstract. A massive eruption of Okmok volcano in Alaska has been recently discovered and precisely dated to have occurred in 43 BCE. Some Chinese climate records of 43–33 BCE in historical documents have been found that provide descriptions of observed environmental abnormities that appear to be consistent with the anticipated changes due to volcanic climate forcing. We provide full translation with discussions of the Chinese climate records that may be related to the Okmok eruption in this paper. We have converted ancient Chinese calendar dates to modern Gregorian dates and provided the latitudes and longitudes of the geographical locations mentioned in the records. We believe the detailed information contained in these records will be useful for further research on the climate impact of volcanic eruptions.

Published: January 2024

Abstract. The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a key asset for tropospheric monitoring. Currently, GNSS meteorology relies primarily on geodetic-grade stations. However, such stations are too costly to be densely deployed, which limits the contribution of GNSS to tropospheric monitoring. In 2016, Google released the raw GNSS measurement application programming interface for smartphones running on Android version 7.0 and higher. Since nowadays there are billions of Android smartphones worldwide, utilizing those devices for atmospheric monitoring represents a remarkable scientific opportunity. In this study, smartphone GNSS data collected in Germany as part of the Application of Machine Learning Technology for GNSS IoT Data Fusion (CAMALIOT) crowdsourcing campaign in 2022 were utilized to investigate this idea. Approximately twenty thousand raw GNSS observation files were collected there during the campaign. First, a dedicated data processing pipeline was established that consists of two major parts: machine learning (ML)-based data selection and ionosphere-free Precise Point Positioning (PPP)-based Zenith Total Delay (ZTD) estimation. The proposed method was validated with a dedicated smartphone data collection experiment conducted on the rooftop of the ETH campus. The results confirmed that ZTD estimates of mm-level precision could be achieved with smartphone data collected in an open-sky environment. The impacts of observation time span and utilization of multi-GNSS observations on ZTD estimation were also investigated. Subsequently, the crowdsourced data from Germany were processed by PPP with the ionospheric delays interpolated using observations from surrounding SAPOS (Satellite Positioning Service of the German State Survey) GNSS stations. The ZTDs derived from ERA5 and an ML-based ZTD product served as benchmarks. The results revealed that an accuracy of better than 10 mm can be achieved by utilizing selected high-quality crowdsourced smartphone data. This study marks the first successful demonstration of high-precision ZTD determination with crowdsourced smartphone GNSS data and reveals success factors and current limitations.
Influence of cohesive clay on wave–current ripple dynamics captured in a 3D phase diagram
Authors: Wu Xuxu , Malarkey Jonathan , Fernández Roberto , Baas Jaco H. , Pollard Ellen , Parsons Daniel R.
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Wave–current ripples that develop on seabeds of mixed non-cohesive sand and cohesive clay are commonplace in coastal and estuarine environments. While laboratory research on ripples forming in these types of mixed-bed environments is relatively limited, it has identified deep cleaning, the removal of clay below the ripple troughs, as an important factor controlling ripple development. New large-scale flume experiments seek to address this sparsity in data by considering two wave–current conditions with initial clay content, C0, ranging from 0 % to 18.3 %. The experiments record ripple development and pre- and post-experiment bed clay contents to quantify clay winnowing. The present experiments are combined with previous wave-only, wave–current, and current-only experiments to produce a consistent picture of larger and smaller flatter ripples over a range of wave–current conditions and C0. Specifically, the results reveal a sudden decrease in the ripple steepness for C0 > 10.6 %, likely associated with a decrease in hydraulic conductivity of 3 orders of magnitude. Accompanying the sudden change in steepness is a gradual linear decrease in wavelength with C0 for C0 > 7.4 %. Ultimately, for the highest values of C0, the bed remains flat, but clay winnowing still takes place, albeit at a rate 2 orders of magnitude lower than for rippled beds. For a given flow, the initiation time, when ripples first appear on a flat bed, increases with increasing C0. This, together with the fact that the bed remains flat for the highest values of C0, demonstrates that the threshold of motion increases with C0. The inferred threshold enhancement, and the occurrence of large and small ripples, is used to construct a new three-dimensional phase diagram of bed characteristics involving the wave and current Shields parameters and C0, which has important implications for morphodynamic modelling.
A new approach to understanding fluid mixing in process-study models of stratified fluids
Authors: Hartharn-Evans Samuel George , Stastna Marek , Carr Magda
Published: January 2024

Abstract. While well-established energy-based methods of quantifying diapycnal mixing in process-study numerical models are often used to provide information about when mixing occurs, and how much mixing has occurred, describing how and where this mixing has taken place remains a challenge. Moreover, methods based on sorting the density field struggle when the model is under-resolved and when there is uncertainty as to the definition of the reference density when bathymetry is present. Here, an alternative method of understanding mixing is proposed. Paired histograms of user-selected variables (which we abbreviate USPs (user-controlled scatter plots)) are employed to identify mixing fluid and are then used to display regions of fluid in physical space that are undergoing mixing. This paper presents two case studies showcasing this method: shoaling internal solitary waves and a shear instability in cold water influenced by the nonlinearity of the equation of state. For the first case, the USP method identifies differences in the mixing processes associated with different internal solitary wave breaking types, including differences in the horizontal extent and advection of mixed fluid. For the second case, the method is used to identify how density and passive tracers are mixed within the core of the asymmetric cold-water Kelvin–Helmholtz instability.

Authors: Haroon Esanossi Mohamed
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate to what extent the widespread use of audio-visual aids with Libyan EFL university instructors. Also, it is to examine how such audio-visual aids are appropriate to Arabic-speaking Libyan undergraduate students specializing in the English language as to be teachers of English after graduation.  A combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches for collecting data was followed. The quantitative approach was based on a closed-ended questionnaire to check Libyan EFL university instructors’ opinions towards using audio-visual aids within the class whereas the qualitative approach was based on observations to notice the effectiveness of audio-visual aids in the class. Thirty four Libyan EFL university instructors participated in filling in the questionnaire sent via personal e-mails and Facebook messenger. This was followed by twenty four undergraduate students at Tripoli University (Faculty of Education – Department of English) who were observed while attending lectures on Listening and Speaking. The obtained results of the study showed how audio-visual aids had a strong effect on students' interaction. The implications of this study suggest that Libyan EFL university instructors have to consider audio-visual aids as a means to motivate students’ interactions. They are highly recommended to focus on the integration of audio-visual aids in teaching foreign languages.

Reforma Tributária – primeiras impressões: questionamentos, sugestões e análise
Authors: Fernandes de Oliveira Regis
Published: January 2024

Há muito se exigia uma reforma tributária que facilitasse a vida dos contribuintes e da ação administrativa tributária, especialmente a fiscalizatória. Ainda que o texto final desagrade a alguns, foi o possível. Avanço da sociedade brasileira, dos empresários, contribuintes ou não. O sistema adotado foi o IVA vigente em inúmeros países. A reforma não é a ideal. Inúmeras entidades organizadas buscaram preservar os benefícios fiscais que usufruíam. É criticável a atuação de tais setores da sociedade, mas é compreensível numa democracia em que as corporações têm voz e vez.
Ameaças ao geopatrimônio do Carste e a perda da memória da Terra
Authors: Ruchkys Úrsula de Azevedo , Travassos Luiz Eduardo Panisset , Timo Mariana Barbosa
Published: January 2024

Os estudos relacionados à visão patrimonial da geodiversidade buscam compreender a Terra sob uma perspectiva holística associada à Teoria de Gaia. Um dos marcos dessa abordagem é a Declaração dos Direitos à Memória da Terra, elaborada em 1991 em Digne-le-Bains na França. Essa Declaração mostra a necessidade de conservarmos a memória do planeta que fica registrada nas rochas, solo, relevo, fósseis, enfim, nas paisagens. Nesse contexto o artigo tem por objetivo apresentar os impactos decorrentes das atividades antrópicas sob as paisagens cársticas, em especial, das atividades de mineração. Esses impactos causam danos ambientais e sociais, sendo que muitos deles levam a perda de patrimônio. Os geossistemas cársticos possuem importantes valores patrimonial, além de elevado valor econômico, sendo constantes alvos de atividades de mineração, não só do calcário, mas também de outros bens minerais associados a essas paisagens. Assim medidas que levem ao desenvolvimento sustentável de atividades promovidas no carste são urgentes e necessárias, bem como a valorização dessas paisagens por meio da difusão de sua importância e significado buscando garantir a conservação da memória da Terra.

A infinita interioridade da noite
Authors: Andreotti Giuliana
Published: January 2024

A noite é um tema de estudo complexo pelos múltiplos aspectos com que se apresenta e pela múltipla identidade que a coloca fora e dentro do indivíduo. O acontecimento objetivo e a evidência interior oferecem ao mesmo tempo conhecimento sensorial e ressonâncias afetivas e espirituais. O espaço escuro sempre inspirou a literatura e as artes, mas há muito tempo é negligenciado pela geografia. Tal desinteresse parece ser motivado pelo fato de a noite ser pensada como um fenómeno externo e objetivo, negligenciando a sua interioridade e as ressonâncias espirituais que suscita. A ênfase que a disciplina dá ao olhar não favoreceu o estudo do assunto, pois seu método fundamental é a observação direta, baseada na visão noturna. A indiferença ao assunto também é justificada pelas orientações disciplinares racionalistas do passado. O tema ganhou destaque desde os últimos anos do século XX com a afirmação da geografia cultural e emocional. É uma visão que valoriza a poética e os valores interiores transmitidos pela noite. São estes últimos que fazem da noite um tema de particular interesse. Não faltam, no entanto, estudos de orientação racionalista, próximos das ciências técnicas, interessados ​​nos aspectos materiais e objetivos do fenômeno, como a iluminação artificial, a programação e o design em particular em relação aos contextos urbanos atuais.

DESAFIOS DA GESTÃO DE RESÍDUOS SÓLIDOS COM INCLUSÃO DE CATADORES DE MATERIAIS RECICLÁVEIS
Authors: Pereira dos Santos Caroline
Published: January 2024

O artigo apresenta pesquisa exploratória e descritiva voltada à análise de informações constantes de plataformas governamentais sobre a gestão de resíduos sólidos na sub-região sudoeste da região metropolitana de São Paulo. A pesquisa identificou valores contraditórios entre a taxa de cobertura dos serviços de coleta seletiva porta-a-porta e as taxas de recuperação de recicláveis em relação aos resíduos domiciliares e públicos. A ausência de cadastro de cooperativas e associações de catadores em plataformas governamentais, bem como a inexistência de informações sobre contratos, com dispensa de licitação, para a remuneração dos serviços prestados por esses trabalhadores constituem um cenário de injustiça ambiental. Após dez anos de promulgação da Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos, ainda permanecem desafios de implementação do serviço de coleta seletiva com inclusão de catadores.
Marx e o marxismo:
Authors: Rocha Antônio
Published: January 2024

Resumo: O artigo é fruto de um dos três seminários que ocorreram em Madrid durante os meses de novembro e dezembro de 2016 e trata da reflexão sobre pensamento de Karl Marx, no “Ciclo de Conferências em la UAM[1]”. Com objetivo de refletir acerca do vídeo “Concepto de história acorde a la teoría Marxista”, apresentado por Josefina Martínez, historiadora e periodista argentina e atender as exigências da disciplina “Tecnologias Educativas – modalidade Online” no Curso de Doutorado em Ciências da Educação Superior na Universidade de Palermo - Argentina no mês de abril de 2023, o qual, justifica a produção. O artigo que foi ajustado pelo autor, apresenta situações emblemáticas e polêmicas que fazem do pensador secular Marx, uma incógnita, até os dias atuais. Partimos do vídeo com a apresentação de Matínez e somados a ele, outros argumentos ajudaram na construção deste trabalho. Ficou evidente que sintetizar a ideia de Marx é impossível, pela sua grandeza, e falar numa polêmica centenária com mais de uma vertente, aumenta a complexidade. Considero que esta reflexão sirva como meio facilitador para as análises em torno do filósofo e ao mesmo tempo, seja imprescindível para a compreensão das bases fundamentais do tema. Por fim, mostramos que Marx não é conhecido em sua totalidade e que muito dos seus defensores, ou críticos, o interpreta, equivocadamente. Nos valemos de outras reflexões que entendemos ser pertinentes para somar a esta.

Gojek is a business entity that operates in the motorcycle taxi transportation service sector, whose main function is to connect passengers with motorcycle taxis. Gojek is often used by residents of metropolises, and one of them is the city of Bandar Lampung. This research was carried out in order to find out the influence of discipline, work environment, and motivation on performance, as well as motivation on the work environment and performance of Gojek drivers in Bandar Lampung. This study uses quantitative methods, using a sample of 101, namely all Gojek drivers in Bandar Lampung. Then the study method uses PLS (partial least squares) statistical software with the inner weight equation. The results of this analysis are that discipline and the work environment do not influence performance, then motivation influences performance, and motivation also influences the work environment and performance. For drivers, it is best to improve performance based on more significant aspects such as managing time more effectively, and for future researchers, the importance of using broad variables is very significant to determine results that can be improved on discipline variables, work environment to improve the performance of Gojek drivers in Bandar Lampung, and skills in designing questionnaires are crucial to achieve maximum results.

Published: January 2024

Startup is an idea from a business that needs money to get off the ground. The first and most important task for any new business is to show that it has real potential so that lenders and/or investors will back it. But startups are always seen as riskier places to invest, and possible lenders/investors have different ways to figure out what their returns will be. The main goal of this piece is to shed some light on the problems start-up entrepreneurs face and the opportunities they can take advantage of, as well as the steps the Indian government is taking to help. Start-ups are the kind of businesses that use new ways of developing, analyzing, evaluating, and researching for their target market. In this paper, we will talk about different government policies, plans, schemes, the startup life cycle, and financial and operating strategies for new businesses. Startup is one of the most popular topics of conversation right now. This effort is focused on making it easier for banks to lend money to new businesses. This will encourage people to start their own businesses and create skilled jobs, which will help the economy as a whole.

The essentiality of electric load forecast for the effective design and management of electric power systems has been achieved in this study. PHEDC may plan for infrastructure construction, resource allocation, and energy management by using accurate long-term load forecasts of this study. In the context of the Woji Estate 11/0.415 kV Feeder in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, we have discussed the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for a long-term of ten (10) years load forecasting in this paper starting from January 2020- December 2029. However, curve fitting feed-forward artificial neural network has been employed for the simulation on MATLAB 2020 environment, with six (6) input datasets obtained from Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Oginigba and Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company, and average temperature dataset from NIMET-Abuja all in Nigeria from January, 2015-December, 2019. The regression plot of epoch 11 with training; R=1 and validation of 0.9999 have been achieved which indicates how efficient the training of the dataset was. The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm is used as an optimization technique in this study. In addition, training, test, validation, and error analysis have been used to examine the effectiveness of the LM algorithm; it has been found optimal with ANN. The general observation shows that ANN provides effective results on long-term electrical load forecasting of the Woji Estate Feeder with a total forecasted value of 29734.4 MWHR and an average value of 24778.67 MWHR at the end of the tenth year.
On the Commutativity Degree of Finite Groups of Order via Degree Equation

Published: January 2024

Commutativity degree is a numerical derivation that carries a lot of information about the structure of finite groups. It measures the extent to which two randomly selected non-identity elements of a group commute.

Published: January 2024

Global political economy has been experiencing a new normal period through the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine War since Jan. 2020. At the same time, the trade conflict between the USA and China has been continuing since the Trump Administration and even expanding to the technology conflict under the Biden Administration that has enhanced protectionism in the world trade. Due to these conflicts, discussions on de-globalization or re-globalization are raised. The two expected or unexpected historical events have resulted in a long wave of high inflation, energy and food crises, disorder of global supply chains etc. in the global economy, which is known as a new normal era shifted from low inflation, well-functioning global supply chains based on division of labor. In order to strengthen its economic and political leadership, the Biden government has upgraded the Trump’s America First Policy to the Made in America Policy based on Chips and Science Act (CSA) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which represent a new era of protectionism. In parallel, the EU has also considered to impose Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) and other Acts in Green Deal Industrial Plan (GDIP). This paper aims to analyze the new trend of protectionism in the EU. It also focuses on impacts of protectionism on South Korea in particular.

Topology Optimization using Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis
Authors: Kushwaha Om Hari Naryan
Published: January 2024

Topology optimization is a structural-mechanical investigation that structures optimization function values in an optimization iteration. Topology optimization with nonlinear static behavior is difficult due to several design considerations. Due of significant integrate distortion, low-density finite elements provide significant numerical challenges in the prevailing element density focused topology planning taking nonlinear dynamics under factor. Iterative procedures are used in the Bi-directional Evolutionary Structural Optimization (BESO) technique for reducing waste from a structure while concurrently adding efficient material using a finite element-based topology optimization strategy. Integrating the fully-connected Deep Neural Network (DNN) with the norm-level-set techniques yields a powerful method for optimizing structural topology. Hence, BESO-DNN has been designed spatial optimization of material distribution inside a specified area is the focus of topology optimization is a mathematical approach for minimizing a certain cost function while meeting a set of predefined restrictions. Topology optimization of geometrically non-linear systems is advantageous because of the solutions' lack of intermediate-density components and their great processing efficiency of high-resolution barrier representation can be effective. As a result, topology optimization is ensuring effective and providing fresh and efficient designs, understanding that outcomes needs an integration of credible decision-making, domain knowledge, and numerical analytic skills. The outcome of finite element analysis has to understand and anticipate an object's performance under various physical conditions using mathematical models, and testing.

As the world continues to grapple with the challenges posed by climate change and the depletion of conventional energy sources, renewable energy systems such as solar photovoltaic (PV) technology have gained significant prominence. Hybrid solar PV systems, which combine multiple energy sources and storage solutions, offer a promising avenue to improve the reliability and efficiency of renewable energy generation. This research focuses on the mathematical modeling, non-linearity characteristic analysis, and the development of efficiency enhancement strategies for hybrid solar PV energy systems. The study begins with the development of comprehensive mathematical models that accurately represent the complex interactions within hybrid solar PV systems. These models consider various factors, including solar irradiance, temperature variations, load profiles, and the dynamic behavior of energy storage components. The incorporation of non-linear characteristics, often overlooked in conventional models, allows for a more realistic representation of system performance. To enhance the efficiency of hybrid solar PV systems, a range of strategies are proposed and evaluated. These strategies encompass advanced control algorithms, optimized sizing and placement of energy storage elements, and the integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. The goal is to mitigate non-linear effects, maximize energy utilization, and improve system response to dynamic operating conditions.

Published: January 2024

Leather objects, either modern or historical, are sensitive to moisture and, in particular, to temperature and relative humidity (RH) variations, and prone to microbial attack. Such climatic changes can cause microbiological, chemical and mechanical damage to (i) historical object in uncontrolled environmental conditions as seen in old buildings and palaces, and (ii) hides, pelts and finished modern leather during processing, transport and storage. Two kinds of experiments were designed and carried out to investigate (i) the effect of gamma irradiation on collagen matrix and set the safe treatment dose for effective disinfection and (ii) the moisture uptake/loss depending on tanning type, damage condition and conservation treatment.

As quantum-mechanical criteria are extremely useful in investigating the molecular structure of a newly synthesized chemical compound (in particular, in assigning its electronic transitions), this paper aims to present the results obtained by using "zone criterion" as a clue in interpreting the UV-Vis spectrum of a complex compound that we dealt with, which was formed by the coordination to Ni(II) of a 1,4-naphthalenedione derivate (namely, 2-mercapto-3-niacinamido-1,4-naphthalenedione). So, by taking into account the fact that an electronic transition extremely unlikely occurs between two quantum-mechanical states involving spatially separated parts of a certain molecule (which we simply called "zone criterion"), we used a specialized software package in order to perform a molecular modeling that was able to lead us (through specific semi-empirical calculation) to the assignment of all the recorded electronic transitions. The results thus obtained proved themselves to be in a very good accordance with the classical interpretation of the UV-Vis spectrum (which we already had reported), showing, once again, that quantum-mechanical analysis can serve as an useful clue and represents a powerful tool in characterizing the structure of a new complex compound.
