Published: June 2024

Background: Bio-phosphonates can be used to lower the risk of hip and spine fractures. Additionally, they can be used to treat Paget's disease of the bones in a variety of dosages. In the procedure that  replace hyaline cartilage to  bone, this procedure i.e.  called endochondral ossification. It starts when mesenchymal cells from the mesoderm develop into chondrocytes. Chondrocytes multiply quickly and release an extracellular matrix to create the cartilage that serves as the model for bone.
Objective: To histomorphometric illustration the endochondral ossification of the mandibular angle defect repair in rats  after oral stimulation with bisphosphonate treatment.
Patients and Methods: 20 rats were used in this work and the animals were divided into the following groups: 10 Rats from the control group. The bone defect was healed naturally without medicament and 10 rats were used in the experiment, and taking the biophosphonate medication helped mend the bone defect. Every single group was studied in 7 and 14 day (5 rats for each healing period) and the surgical procedure was performed for histological and Histomorphometrically examination. The data analysis with spss statistic measure & with P vale (P ≤ 0.05).
Results: Active effect of the bio-phosphate medicament in the endochondral ossification and the cell that responsible for the cartilage formation and accelerated the healing of the mandibular defect with inhibition of the bone resoption and finally decrease the time that need to full healing.
Conclusion: The chemical medicament that represented by bio-phosphonate accelerated the endochondral ossification in a short time and replacement with bone in the site of the defect.

Published: June 2024

Background: Children and adolescents with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) are at high risk of metabolic disorders that may interfere with lipid metabolism and predispose to dyslipidemia.
Objective: To detect the incidence of dyslipidemia and associated factors in children with IDDM in Diyala.
Patients and Methods: This was a case-control study that included a total of 100 children with type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM) and 100 age- and gender-matched non-diabetic children who presented to the Pediatric Department/Al-Batool Teaching Hospital during the period from April 2022 to April 2023. Demographic data included the child's age, gender, weight, mother’s educational level, mother's job, child's educational level, school attendance, and physical activity. Clinical data included systolic and diastolic blood pressure, HbA1c, family history of illness, disease duration, type of insulin, and insulin dose. Fasting lipid profile and hemoglobin A1c investigations were done for the study groups, and the data were statistically analyzed.
Results: The overall dyslipidemia in IDDM children and controls was 46% and 8%, respectively, with a highly significant difference. The mean age and weight in diabetic patients with dyslipidemia were 8.23±3.63 years and 28.96±13.31 kg, respectively, which was higher than that of normolipidemic diabetic patients (10.72±3.23 years and 34.22±12.14 kg, respectively) with significant differences. Furthermore, 28.26% of mothers of dyslipidemia-.diabetic patients were employed, compared with only 11.11% of normolipidemic-diabetic patients, a significant difference. A family history of DM was reported in 47.83% and 27.78% of dyslipidemic and normolipidemic diabetic patients, respectively, with a significant difference.
Conclusion: The incidence of dyslipidemia among diabetic children in Diyala is 46%. Older age, increased body weight, and a mother’s job as an employer are significantly associated with the development of dyslipidemia in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients.

Abstract. Working from home and working permanently in the office (work from office) have their problems. These differences indeed lead to different responses in coping with stress. This research aims to analyze the differences in coping with stress in individuals who experience work-from-home and work-from-office periods, as well as analyze coping strategies during the work-from-home period. This research uses a quantitative method, using a t-test. The sampling technique uses purposive random sampling, with the characteristics of the population being married and having children, working in agencies either from home or the office. Data collection techniques used a stress coping scale and an open questionnaire regarding identifying feelings and problems that arise, expressed via Google Forms. Quantitative analysis is carried out using t-tests and descriptive analysis. Based on the Mann-Whitney test, the Mean Rank or average group ranking was obtained, namely for work from home, it was 95,15, and work from office was 94.54 with a significance value of  (0.947) > 0.05. The quantitative research results show no difference in coping with stress between individuals who experience the work-from-home period and during the work-from-office period. Meanwhile, the results of the descriptive analysis show that the most dominant feeling during the work-from-home period is anxiety, anxiety, or worry (40.74%), while the problem most frequently experienced by respondents is difficulty dividing their time between office work and homework (26.45 %). In general, coping strategies overcome feelings of worry by conveying hobbies (23.28%), while coping strategies overcome problems during the work-from-home period by interacting online (26.45%) and doing good time management (17.98%).

Stories in books and stories of life: Helen Shaw, New Zealand writer, c.1937-1985
Authors:   , Shoebridge Tim
Published: June 2024

This thesis examines the life and works of the New Zealand short story writer, poet, editor, and critic, Helen Shaw, from the time of her first publication in 1937 until her death in 1985, seeking to situate Shaw as a historical figure in the context of twentieth-century New Zealand cultural life. It explores Shaw's intellectual engagement with the 'literary scene' during this period. It particularly questions the ways and the extent to which Shaw defined her hopes and ambitions for her own career by and against the prevailing ideas debated by participants in this creative circle. The study focusses on Shaw's life as a writer, exploring the texts and contexts of her life and work, rather than focussing upon her writing from the perspective of literary criticism. At the heart of this inquiry is an exploration of the complex and inter-related series of ideas and structures which influenced Shaw's motivations and decision-making as a writer, and which shaped the reception to her work. Her ambitions as to where and how she wished her work to be published, her interests and preoccupations as a writer, and her choices of style and theme for her work, are explored. The impact of intellectual trends, and the pressures of wider structural factors (such as the availability of outlets of publication) are also considered.

The study concludes that while dominant ideologies and structural elements inhibited Shaw's ambitions and hopes for her career, her declining reputation after the early 1960s was due primarily to her own increasingly introspective inclinations in her writing and hopes for publication. As her interests shifted towards mysticism, she increasingly sought to distance herself from the mainstream of the New Zealand literary scene, and her writing became very unconventional and individualistic. Writing as a woman during this period, Shaw was disadvantaged to some degree by a prevailing disinterest in 'feminine' writing, but she was able to dedicate more of her time and energy to writing than many of her male contemporaries. The relationship between the "stories in books' (the western literary tradition) and 'stories of life' (the lived New Zealand experience) was increasingly one of tension in Shaw's creative life as she worked to reconcile her desire to help define native cultural traditions with her desire to create work that reflected her internal spiritual journey. The decline of her critical reputation from the late 1950s can be attributed to a complex interplay of factors involving her shifting towards more self-referential work, and the retrenchment of her attempts to seek publication.

Published: June 2024

Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of hysteroscopic electrosurgery and hysteroscopic diagnostic scraping on the treatment of endometrial polyps. Methods: Clinical data from 128 patients with endometrial polyps included in the study were collected and randomly divided into two groups, with 64 cases each in the electrodesiccation group and diagnostic scraping group. The electrodesiccation group underwent hysteroscopic electrodesiccation, while the diagnostic scraping group underwent hysteroscopic diagnostic scraping. Clinical indicators were combined to compare the efficacy of the two groups. Results: (1) Following treatment, the hemoglobin level in the electrodesiccation group was significantly higher than that in the diagnostic curettage group, and the endometrial thickness was significantly lower than that in the diagnostic curettage group (P < 0.001); (2) After treatment, the serum VEGF level in the electrodesiccation group was significantly lower than that in the diagnostic curettage group (P < 0.001); (3) Operative time and operative bleeding in the electrodesiccation group were significantly lower than those in the diagnostic scraping group (P < 0.001); (4) The complication rate was significantly lower in the electrodesiccation group (4, 6.251%) compared to the diagnostic scraping group (12, 18.751%), with a P value less than 0.05 (P = 0.033). Conclusion: Hysteroscopic electrosurgery demonstrates superior efficacy in the treatment of endometrial polyps compared to hysteroscopic curettage.

Authors: Zhang Yumiao
Published: June 2024

Objective: To assess the management effect of comprehensive nursing management on blood donation services in blood stations. Methods: Sixty-four individuals who donated blood at a blood station between September 2021 and September 2023 were selected and randomly assigned into two groups of 32 each. The first group received comprehensive nursing management, while the second group received routine nursing management. Blood donation indexes and observational indexes such as adverse reactions were compared between the groups. Results: The total blood donation volume and qualified blood donation volume were higher in the first group than in the second group. The amount of discarded blood and the rate of blood discards were lower in the first group compared to the second group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the adverse reaction rate in the first group was lower, the blood donation comfort scores were higher, the psychological state scores were lower, and the quality of care scores were higher than those in the second group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Comprehensive nursing management can improve the efficiency of blood donation, reduce the rate of blood discards, decrease the incidence of adverse reactions, alleviate negative psychological states of blood donors, and enhance both the comfort level of blood donation and the quality of care provided.

Objective: To explore the effects of progressive muscle relaxation training on anxiety, depression, and quality of life in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Methods: Sixty-one patients with CSVD in the Department of Neurology of a tertiary hospital were divided into an observation group (28 patients) and a control group (33 patients) by lottery method. The control group received conventional nursing care, while the observation group received progressive muscle relaxation training interventions in addition to the conventional care. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), and the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL) were used to compare the effects before the intervention, 7 days after the intervention, and 30 days after the intervention. Results: Over time, at different time points after the intervention, the anxiety and depression scores of patients with CSVD in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The quality of life scores were significantly higher in the observation group compared to the control group (P < 0.05), and these differences were statistically significant. Conclusion: Progressive muscle relaxation training can improve anxiety and depression in patients with cerebral small vessel disease and can effectively enhance their quality of life.

Published: June 2024

Objective. To study the effect of ozone during hyperbaric oxygenation with an ozone–containing mixture on the respiratory system and stress response organs of experimental animals, to select the optimal parameters of ozone generation and supply by the POS–1 apparatus to perform this procedure in a confined space without harming the health of the patient and medical staff.
Materials and methods. Experimental studies were performed on 20 white laboratory rats divided into two groups. In group 1, 10 animals breathed the ozone–containing mixture for 7 days, each session lasted 15 minutes. In the 2nd group, 10 animals breathed the ozone–containing vapour–water mixture for 7 days, each session also lasted 15 minutes. All animals were kept in a semi–hermetic box with a volume of 0.042 m3 with an ozone supply of 500 mg/h, which exceeds the maximum permissible concentration (0.16 mg/m3 ) by a factor of 2. The pressure of the gas mixture in the box with the animals was equal to atmospheric pressure.The animals were withdrawn from the experiment on the 3rd, 7th and 14th day by injecting an excessive dose of 5.0% sodium thiopental solution. The trachea, lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen, heart, stomach, pancreas, and adrenal glands were autopsied and taken for histological examination. The ozone concentration in the room during the experiment was measured using a SAMI 100S ozone concentration meter.
Results. Exposure to the ozone–containing mixture did not cause pathological changes in the organs and systems of the experimental animals, as well as a significant stress response, which proves the safety of the technique in confined spaces. The method of treatment of infectious and purulent complications proposed in previous studies does not harm the health of the patient and medical staff and can be recommended for use in clinical practice without additional measures for the utilisation of ozone produced by the POS–1 apparatus.
Conclusions. The optimal parameters of ozone production and supply in the ozone–containing mixture for hyperbaric oxygenation in a confined space without harming the health of the patient and medical staff have been proposed. The ozone–containing steam–water mixture can be recommended for use in clinical practice in conditions of massive tissue infection as a factor of external physical influence with pronounced bactericidal and bacteriostatic properties. The concentration of residual ozone in the room after the therapeutic procedure does not exceed the permissible level and does not harm the health of the patient and medical staff.

Published: June 2024

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is a significant user of pesticides, relying on agriculture for economic development. Pesticides and agrochemicals contribute to the presence of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in the environment. This review addresses knowledge gaps in monitoring and quantification of POPs, the application of natural coagulants for bioremediation, and associated environmental and health risks in SSA. Findings reveal inconsistencies in monitoring methods and analytes, hindering the identification of temporal trends. Legacy POPs show decreasing concentrations in soil/sediment and aquatic organisms, while some POPs increase in water, fish, fruits, and vegetables. Some river systems exceed acceptable ranges for PCBs according to USEPA standards. PFASs, particularly PFOA and PFOS, are prevalent. Natural coagulants, like Moringa oleifera and chitosan, are gaining popularity for water treatment due to their environmental sustainability and effectiveness in POP remediation. Trivalent cations in natural coagulants show promise for POP bioremediation. However, challenges remain in scaling up natural coagulant applications for commercial water treatment. This review highlights the need for standardized monitoring procedures and emphasizes the potential of natural coagulants in POP remediation efforts.

Published: June 2024

This study investigated how LED light exposure influences the growth and nutrient content of two lettuce microgreens over 10 days in a randomized setup. Lettuce seeds underwent surface sterilization, germination in prepared soil, and exposure to different LED light conditions. Morphological parameters and pigment analysis, including stem length, petiole length, leaf area, plant height, root length, fresh weight, dry matter percentage, were evaluated. Green lettuce outperformed red lettuce in the studied morphological parameters, including stem length (2.74±0.22 cm), plant height (4.54±0.21 cm), and fresh weight (3.79±0.32 g/100 plants) under different LED. White light promoted taller plants with higher fresh weight (4.45±0.43 g/100plants), dry matter (4.84±0.38%), and leaf area (0.76±0.06 cm2) in both lettuce species. In contrast, red light reduced overall growth and development, as evidenced by a 54% decrease in leaf area, despite a 23.36% increase in plant height. Chlorophyll levels varied significantly among LED treatments, with white LED yielding the highest levels in both red and green lettuce. Highest chlorophyll a (146.37±6.27 µg/g FW), chlorophyll b (86.74±2.44 µg/g FW), total chlorophyll (233.11±8.69 µg/g FW) and relative chlorophyll (215.84±8.05 µg/cm²) content was found in green lettuce under white light condition. Similarly, green lettuce grown under white LED had the highest total carotenoid, β-carotene, and lutein. The study concludes that optimizing white LED illumination has the potential to improve the nutritional value of lettuce microgreens by enhancing growth and pigment content, particularly in green varieties. These findings emphasize the crucial role of LED light color in optimizing the nutritional quality of microgreens.

Conceptosphere of the basic concept “winter” in Yu. Shestalov’s lyrical poetry
Authors: Gavrilov V.
Published: June 2024

The article presents a description of the conceptual sphere with the basic concept of “winter”, based on the lyrical poetry of the famous Mansi poet Yuvan Shestalov. The article develops philological regionalism as a current trend in literary criticism. Based on a conceptual analysis of two volumes of the poet’s poems from his complete works, the article suggests this conceptual sphere, proving the objective choice of the nearest periphery concepts by providing examples from the texts. The immediate periphery includes such concepts and their variants as “snow” (ice, blizzard, snowstorm, snow squall); “sleep”; “night” (stars, moon); “road” (skis, sleds, deer, movement, path); “fire” (bonfire, flame, hearth heat, hot tea, ray of sunshine, northern lights). The key conclusion is that winter for the lyrical hero is a time of discovery, a time of learning new things, moving forward, a time of love and creativity. This perception of winter and Ugra as a whole is at odds with the generally accepted perception of the northern region. We believe the presented analysis will help visualize the mental space of the peoples from the North and the “winter” concept functions in the poet’s lyrical poetry to better understand his individual works, at the same time evaluating his work as an integral, mobile and developing system.
Myth-making as sensemaking in modern literary criticism
Authors: Govorukhina Yu.
Published: June 2024

This article explores modern literary criticism as part of a cultural narrative, capable of constructing and structuring historical memory and creating myths. The article discovers the “plot” of successive forms of mythologization and demythologization of the past in criticism. In the 1990s, amid the collapse of the magazine circulation, nostalgic recollection of the (post) “thaw” became relevant as a myth of the “Golden Age”, which served a therapeutic function for literary criticism. The forms of nostalgia included memories of the time of youth, a return to the past, a view of it from “outside” and wistfulness for long bygone values. The 1990s were perceived as a time of crisis and catastrophe. Two decades later, criticism reversed from nostalgia to demythologization and destroyed the myth of the (post) “thaw” “Golden Age”. Mythologization is considered by the critics of the 2020s to be a dangerous way of thinking. At the same time, a tendency to build a new myth about the “golden time” is emerging: In the memories of the critics, the 1990s start losing negative associations and turn into an image symbolizing a decade of true freedom in the “Golden Age”. By creating and destroying myths, criticism tries to comprehend the modern sociocultural situation and its status. The past helps to discover the structure, order and patterns that allow understanding the present.
Derzhavin’s authorial myth
Authors: Maslova A.
Published: June 2024

The article characterizes the concept of G. Derzhavin’s personality, which he constructs in his poetry. This concept is considered as an authorial myth, an author’s myth-making. In his poetry, Derzhavin creates an image that directly correlates with his life and personality. When creating many poems, he associated them with specific biographical facts; thus, in the artistic context and the author’s interpretation, the image of the lyrical hero in Derzhavin poetry acquires certain mythological features. The purpose of the study is to identify the key texts and cross–cutting principles that form the basis of G. Derzhavin’s authorial myth. The article analyzes his poems “Felica”, “Philosophers. Drunk and Sober”, “God”, “Monument”, “To Tonchiy”, “Freedom”, “To Myself”, “To Eugene. Zvanskaya's Life”, “Recognition”. As a result, the main aspects of G. Derzhavin’s authorial myth are revealed, in which Derzhavin appears to the reader as a statesman, poet, philosopher, landowner and an ordinary person with his inherent weaknesses. This myth is based on a moral position defined by such qualities as candor, truth and virtue. Derzhavin’s personality is represented in his authorial myth as the embodiment of a Russian person’s national qualities.
The other in the novel “Monkey Boy” by Francisco Goldman
Authors: Khatskevich T.
Published: June 2024

This article discusses the “identity” theme in the novel “Monkey Boy” by Francisco Goldman; the author has an unconventional approach to the image creation as he considers the identity to be a complicated multidimensional phenomenon. The research is aimed at exploration of the hybrid-type identity in the novel. There are some issues connected with the analysis of that kind of character. The first aspect is to understand whether there is the core part of identity; the next point is to clarify the process of accepting identity and the last aspect is to enumerate the factors that influence the self-identification process. The character of that identity-type can never be included into the group of Ours; he hasn’t got the feeling of “being at home”, that’s why the protagonist searches for the place of residence, which would not be connected to his national and ethnic roots. The author shows the hybrid identity through the language as there are Spanish words and phrases in the American-English text. The non-linear narration helps the readers to observe the stages of self-identification, to analyze the traumatic memories and the process of getting over these experiences. The protagonist accepts different elements of his identity by interacting with the Other when he gets to know things and asks the Other questions; as a result, he develops his own way of self-identification and finds solutions to his internal problematic issues. The research of the auto-images and hetero-images is controversial since the character simultaneously belongs to both communities.

Folk riddles have recently become a fairly popular object of linguistic and linguocultural research due to their complex structural and semantic organization, which allows analyzing this folklore genre in semantic, structural and functional aspects. This study explores the description features of wild and domestic animals within the framework of an enigmatic text. The object of our research is to identify the presence of linguistic and cultural connotations in the description of wild and domestic animals and to trace the degree of taboo in using animal names in folk riddles. The tasks set are due to the fact that an archaic person’s life was largely connected with agricultural activities carried out with the help of livestock, as well as the need to protect themselves from wild animals attacking livestock. During the analysis of the linguistic material, we found that Russian and English folk riddles about animals were characterized either by omission of the subject of action in the descriptive part of the riddle, or the introduction of occasional vocabulary, which is largely consistent with the laws of taboo. In the Russian folk riddle, an occasional noun of this type is often introduced for the name of an animal: stuchikha (someone knocking), gremikha (someone rattling), with a rather transparent semantics that actualizes the initial action: (stuchat' – stuchikha, gremet' – gremikha). In the corpus of English folk riddles, we have noted a conversion transition (the verb lick transforms into the noun lick), as a result of which the noun also develops the meaning of the subject of a given action. In addition, we found the absence of a linguocognitive component in the description of animals, since the description of the denotation is mainly based on the actualization of a typical feature (the ability to bark, the presence of a certain number of hooves, horns, the ability to hunt animals).

Bu çalışmada üzüm posası hem inert hem de oksijenli atmosferlerde karbonizasyon davranışının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Herhangi bir biyokütlenin torrefaksiyon koşullarında oluşturacağı ürünlerin miktarı, öncelikle biyokütlenin temel bileşenlerine bağlıdır. Çünkü temel bileşenlerin yapısal farklılıkları termal davranışlarının da farklı olmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu yüzden meydana gelen değişimlerin ve ortaya çıkan ürünlerin anlaşılması açısından şüphesiz oldukça önemlidir. Lignoselülozik maddelerin yapısında yaklaşık olarak %80 uçucu bileşen ve %20 sabit karbon bulundu. Karbonizasyon prosesi boyunca biyokütlenin elementsel oksijen oranı sıcaklıkla önemli oranda azaldı. 200-350˚C aralığında uçucu bileşenlerin bir kısmı biyokütleden ayrıldı ve böylece biyokütlenin yapısı daha sert ve kırılgan bir hale geldi. Büyük oranda hemiselülozların bozunması ve daha az oranda selüloz moleküllerinin bozunması suretiyle orijinal biyokütlenin fiber yapısı parçalandı. Bu durum biyokütle yapısının daha kırılgan bir hale gelmesine ve daha kolay öğütülmesine yardımcı olmaktadır. Uçucu bileşenler uzaklaştırıldıktan sonra biyokütlenin elementsel oksijen oranı azaldı ve buna bağlı olarak ısı değeri kademeli olarak 19 MJ. kg-1 den 21- 23 MJ. kg-1 değerine yükseldi.

The rapid advancement of technology has made it imperative for supply chains to adapt to the changing landscape. Blockchain technology holds immense potential to transform supply chain processes, but the challenge lies in identifying the most suitable blockchain characteristics to meet the various performance indicators of a supply chain. To overcome this challenge, this study aims to prioritize the most critical blockchain characteristics in a supply chain. The study adopts a two-stage Quality Function Deployment (QFD) methodology to rank blockchain characteristics based on supply chain and software requirements. The methodology evaluates the supply chain performance indicators using the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model and software needs using the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) software quality characteristics. After determining the problematic SCOR and ISO software-related metrics, the study utilizes the QFD Stage 1 to obtain the weights of ISO software characteristics and employs the Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) to determine the most crucial blockchain characteristics for QFD Stage 2. The results of this study show that the top priorities for blockchain characteristics in a supply chain are smart contract functionality, privacy, transaction per second, tokenization, security, permissioned network, scalability, cost, modularity, and licensing, in order of importance.

Published: June 2024

Music holds a significant role in our daily lives, and its impact on emotions has been a focal point of research across various disciplines, including psychology, sociology, and statistics. Ongoing studies continue to explore this intriguing relationship. With advancing technology, the ability to choose from a diverse range of music has expanded. Recent trends highlight a growing preference for searching for music based on emotional attributes rather than individual preferences or genres. The act of selecting music based on emotional states is important on both a universal and cultural level. This study seeks to employ machine learning-based methods to classify four different music genres using a minimal set of features. The objective is to facilitate the process of choosing Turkish music according to one’s mood. The classification methods employed include Decision Tree, Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and k-Nearest Neighbor, coupled with the Mutual Information (MI) feature selection algorithm. Experimental results reveal that, with all features considered in the dataset, RF achieved the highest accuracy at 0.8098. However, when the MI algorithm was applied, SVM exhibited the best accuracy at 0.8068. Considering both memory consumption and accuracy, the RF method emerges as a favorable choice for selecting Turkish music based on emotional states. This research not only advances our understanding of the interaction between music and emotions but also provides practical insights for individuals who want to shape their music according to their emotional preferences.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important greenhouse gas that causes global warming. It is crucial to remove CO2 from the atmosphere to combat climate change. It is believed that seawater could be a potential source for capturing CO2, especially from ship chimneys and potentially high-concentration CO2 emissions in coastal regions. In this study, the CO2 absorption performance of sodium chloride (NaCl) solution as seawater, was investigated. The first phase of experiments was performed in a stirred cell at 91 kPa and 20°C. The total CO2 absorption capacity (molCO2L-1 solution) and dissolution rate (mols-1) of the solutions were determined by the pressure drop values occurring inside the cell. The experiments were conducted by preparing NaCl solutions at different concentrations (0-3.5 wt%). Additionally, 0.4% by volume calcium oxide (CaO) solution was added to NaCl solutions at different concentrations and its contribution to CO2 absorption was examined. It was observed that there was a decrease in CO2 absorption performance with the increase in salinity. However, it was determined that the addition of CaO to the NaCl solution had a positive effect on CO2 absorption performance and increased the total CO2 absorption capacity by 66%. The second phase of experiments was carried out in a falling film column. In these experiments, the liquid side individual physical mass transfer coefficients (kL0) were determined by the oxygen (O2) desorption method for pure water and 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Also, nonlinear regression analyses were performed, and correlations were developed for mass transfer coefficients.

Transition metal oxides, particularly copper oxides, have garnered significant attention due to their intriguing photochemical, photomagnetic, photo-thermal, and photoconductive properties. Among these, CuO stands out as a p-type semiconductor having narrow bandgap energy ranges from 1.2 to 2 eV, finding versatile applications such as gas sensing, magnetic storage, solar energy conversion, photocatalysis, supercapacitors, field-emission emitters, and optical switches. Additionally, it serves as a crucial component in materials designed for lithium-ion electrodes. In this study, five different CuO nanoparticles were synthesized by simple and cost-effective hydrothermal method with various reaction temperatures and times in a teflon lined stainless steel autoclave. Copper (II) chloride dihydrate was used as copper source in this process. Various characterization techniques were conducted including X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and transmitting electron microscopy (TEM). The effect of temperature and time on synthesis process was characterized and discussed. TEM images show that particle size of CuO increase with the temperature and reaction time. First reaction had the smallest particle sizes (mostly around 9-11 nm). This can be attributed to its lowest reaction temperature and shortest reaction time. For the other reactions, two of them accumulate around 19-35 nm and two around 27-45 nm range. However, the rise in the particle’s diameters is not directly proportional to temperature and time. As a result, CuO nanoparticles have been produced with simple method for the market. It can be produced in large quantities for heat exchangers, gas sensing, magnetic storage, solar energy conversion, photocatalysts, supercapacitors, etc.
