On regular power fuzzy graphs
Authors: Bharathi T. , Paulin S. Shiny , Sherlin M. Jeba
Published: January 2025

In this paper, we define the notion of regular power fuzzy graph (RPFG), as a combination of regular properties and power fuzzy graphs. We also define totally regular power fuzzy graph as a special case of RPFG. A comparative study between regular and totally regular power fuzzy graphs is investigated. It is also proved that any power fuzzy graph containing a pendant vertex can be neither regular nor totally regular. A necessary condition for a total power fuzzy graph to be perfectly regular is that the vertex and edge membership functions are constants.

Authors: Nathania D.P Salsabilla , Sujibto B.J. , Puspitasari Intan
Published: January 2025

The phenomenon of quiet quitting has been recognized as a growing trend in the workplace, particularly among recent graduates post-COVID-19 pandemic. It reflects a deliberate strategy by young workers to resist excessive workloads and address organizational neglect of work-life balance. This study employs a qualitative approach, focusing on five informants who are recent university graduates working in Yogyakarta's informal sector. In-depth interviews were conducted to understand their experiences and strategies in practicing quiet quitting. The findings reveal that quiet quitting emerges as a coping mechanism against exploitative work demands, involving strategies such as rejecting additional tasks outside working hours, clearly separating work from personal life, and negotiating a balance between professional obligations and personal well-being. These practices indicate resistance to exploitative workplace norms and highlight a broader effort to establish sustainable work-life dynamics. The study underscores quiet quitting as a covert resistance strategy that is intricately tied to maintaining well-being and balance.AbstrakFenomena quiet quitting telah menjadi tren yang semakin berkembang di dunia kerja, terutama di kalangan fresh graduate pasca-pandemi COVID-19. Praktik ini menunjukkan adanya strategi yang disengaja oleh pekerja muda untuk menolak beban kerja berlebihan  serta kurangnya perhatian organisasi terhadap keseimbangan antara kehidupan kerja dan pribadi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan melibatkan lima informan yang merupakan lulusan perguruan tinggi di Yogyakarta dan bekerja di sektor informal. Wawancara mendalam dilakukan untuk memahami pengalaman mereka dan strategi yang diterapkan dalam praktik quiet quitting. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa quiet quitting muncul sebagai mekanisme penyesuaian terhadap tuntutan kerja yang eksploitatif, dengan strategi seperti menolak tugas tambahan di luar jam kerja, memisahkan secara tegas kehidupan pribadi dari pekerjaan, serta menegosiasikan keseimbangan antara tanggung jawab profesional dan kesejahteraan pribadi. Praktik ini menunjukkan adanya bentuk resistensi terhadap norma kerja yang eksploitatif sekaligus menekankan perlunya upaya lebih luas untuk menciptakan dinamika kerja yang berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa quiet quitting merupakan strategi resistensi terselubung yang terkait erat dengan upaya menjaga kesejahteraan dan keseimbangan hidup.

Authors: Argenta Thaís Salvador , Borin Maria Luísa Batista , Busato Jader Galba , Amorim Ariuska Karla Barbosa
Published: January 2025

Objective: This research aimed to carry out a bibliographical survey through bibliometrics to know the state of the art on the anaerobic treatment of leachate from composting with nanoparticles.
 
Theoretical Framework: Composting is one kind of waste treatment and its process generates an effluent named leachate. The anaerobic digestion can treat this material and generating biogas for energy use. Additionally, the use of nanoparticles appears as a technological tool capable of improving the production of biogas and the percentage of methane.
 
Method: The tool used to produce this research was bibliometric analysis. Searches were performed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases in September 2024 with a focus on anaerobic digestion of compost leachate. No search period was defined. The strategy of using both databases was to expand the amount of work related to the topic.
 
Results and Discussion: The first work indexed in both databases is from 2011. From 2011 to September 2024, 32 articles related to the topic were published with the participation of 18 countries, 153 authors and 70 institutions. The journal that accumulated the highest number of publications was Waste Management.
 
Research Implications: The implication of this research is to provide general information about the researches being developed and thus to identify scientific gaps. From this overview, the research field can be better studied and new publications will emerge.
 
Originality/Value: This research showed that the study of anaerobic digestion of composting leachate with nanoparticles is quite incipient and promising, as few articles on the subject have been reported. This is a scientific gap.

Authors: Pereira Victor Vinhal , Lyra Marília Regina Costa Castro , Maciel Netto André , Rodrigues Sofia Suely Ferreira Brandão
Published: January 2025

Objective: This study aimed to characterize biological sludge residue from an industrial effluent treatment plant to assess the legal framework for its application in soil.
 
Theoretical Framework: Biological sludge generated during the industrial effluent treatment process constitutes one of the main residues of a refinery. When treated properly and in accordance with current standards, it has potential for use in agriculture and forestry, whether in its natural form, organic compost, blended with other residue or biochar.
 
Method: The residue was sampled and analyzed according to the aspects recommended by CONAMA Resolution No. 498/2020, namely: agronomic potential, reduction of vector attractiveness; chemical substances and microbiological quality.
 
Results and Discussion: The biological sludge did not meet the criteria for reducing vector attractiveness and barium concentration for the disposal of the residue in its natural form in soil. However, its agronomic potential and absence of organic chemical substances and pathogenic organisms allow investment in research aimed at its agricultural use in the form of organic compost, blended with other waste or even as biochar.
 
Research Implications: For industries that use the activated sludge system to treat their effluents, the disposal of biological sludge is a major challenge and its use in agriculture or forestry has been growing in recent years throughout the world.
 
Originality/Value: The disposal of biological sludge in natura is justified not only by taking advantage of the benefits of the components present in the sludge, but also because it is a low-cost alternative when compared to other forms of disposal.

Authors: Giraldo Yessica Dayana Moreno , Arenas David Andrés Montoya , Valencia Laura Isaza , Olaya Santiago Bahamonde
Published: January 2025

Objective: The present study aimed to understand the perception of mental health in school students in the department of Córdoba, Colombia, in order to identify the social representations and motivations towards mental health care in this population.
 
Theoretical framework: The research is based on the health beliefs model, exploring categories such as generic perception of mental health, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, signals for action, perceived barriers, perceived benefits and motivation.
 
Method: A hermeneutic-phenomenological qualitative approach was used. Thirty-five young people between 15 and 19 years of age participated and were interviewed to analyze their perspectives and experiences related to mental health.
 
Results and Discussion: The results showed a dichotomy in the understanding of the term “mental health”, associating it with both wellbeing and pathology. In addition, bonding experience played a relevant role in the categories of perceived susceptibility and cues to action. Well-being was identified as the main motivation for accessing mental health services. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive and timely care, especially in the post-confinement context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Research Implications: This study underscores the importance of designing social-emotional interventions tailored to the needs of schooled adolescents, promoting strategies that favor early access and motivation towards mental health care.
 
Originality/Value: The research provides a contextualized analysis of the beliefs and experiences of young people regarding mental health, contributing to the design of policies and programs aimed at this population in post-pandemic contexts.

Cutaneous Alternariosis in a Patient with Pulmonary Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA): Is it a Marker of Immunosuppression or Immune Dysregulation?
Authors: Malhotra Priyanka , Unni Mahesh M. , Patil Shital
Published: January 2025

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare multisystem disorder of autoimmune pathology involving small- and medium-vessel vasculitis of respiratory and renal system. Immune dysregulation due to GPA illness and immunosuppression after use of immunomodulators predisposes to opportunistic secondary infections. We report a 43-year-old male who presented with acute respiratory distress and acute hypoxic respiratory failure, skin lesions and multifocal nodules with radiological bronchus sign on high-resolution computed tomography thorax imaging and negative workup for sepsis screen on microbiological workup. He was diagnosed as GPA after positive anti C-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody test. Skin lesions needle aspirate for potassium hydroxide mount showed fungal aetiology. Punch biopsy for histopathology and culture with fungal polymerase chain reaction analysis finally confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous alternariosis. Combination regimen of methylprednisolone, azathioprine and itraconazole was used for the management of GPA with cutaneous alternariosis. We observed remission of GPA and documented complete resolution of lung and skin lesions. We recommend a high index of suspicion during management of GPA with concurrent fungal infection for successful treatment outcome.

The research methods are the analysis of scientific literature, cultural analysis, historical analysis, comparison, abstraction, synthesis. The Chinese method of teaching piano is very original and combines folk culture, European influence and modern technology. Despite the comparative youth of the methodology of Chinese academic piano teaching, it has passed a long way of formation, in which domestic politics played a significant role. The impact of the "double reduction policy" introduced in 2021, aimed at reducing the school load on students, is considered in detail. The positive impact of this policy on the popularization of the piano, as well as the improvement and introduction of new elements of piano teaching methods, is substantiated.

Social Support's Impact on Psychological Distress and Life Satisfaction among Saudi Women in Makkah City
Authors: Alharbi Najwa Helal
Published: January 2025

This study explores the complex relationship between psychological distress and life satisfaction among Saudi women, with a particular focus on the moderating role of social support, applying the stress process model to examine stress in a sociological context. The research adopted a social survey and gathered data through a survey that included validated measures for assessing psychological distress, life satisfaction, and social support as the primary study variables. The study involved 442 Saudi female residents of Makkah and employed multivariable regression analysis to test hypotheses. The findings indicate that psychological distress significantly diminishes life satisfaction among Saudi women, whereas higher levels of social support are associated with increased life satisfaction. However, the anticipated interaction effect of psychological distress and social support on life satisfaction was not statistically significant among Saudi women. The study advocates for further sociological research into the factors influencing subjective well-being in this demographic, suggesting an exploration of the effects of religious practices and family dynamics to better understand their roles in improving Saudi women's life satisfaction, focusing on utilizing the stress process model of sociology in analyzing these factors.

Sugars are ubiquitous in biology; they occur in all kingdoms of life. Despite their prevalence they have often been somewhat neglected in studies of structure-dynamics-function relationships of macromolecules to which they are attached, with the exception of nucleic acids. This is largely due to inherent difficulties of studying not only conformational dynamics of sugars using experimental methods, but indeed also resolving their static structures. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations offer a route to prediction of conformational ensembles and the time-dependent behaviour of sugars and glycosylated macromolecules. However, at the all-atom level of detail, MD simulations are often too computationally demanding to allow a systematic investigation of molecular interactions in systems of interest. To overcome this, large scale simulations of complex biological systems have profited from advancements in coarse-grained (CG) simulations. Perhaps the most widely used CG force field for biomolecular simulations is Martini. Here we present a parameter set for glucose and mannose-based disaccharides for Martini3. The generation of the CG parameters from atomistic trajectories is automated as fully as possible and where not possible, we provide details of the protocol used for manual intervention.

Immuno-oncology, a rapidly evolving field at the forefront of cancer research, leverages the body’s immune system to fight cancer. In this follow up report, we extend our natural language processing (NLP)-based analysis to pinpoint the context of emergence of the previously identified emerging concepts. To achieve this relational analysis, we devised a method to identify terms co-occurring in a single sentence in the title or abstract of >350,000 journal and patent publications. The focus of the current study was on inter-group co-occurrences, namely between therapeutic targets, biomarkers, types of therapy, and types of cancer. Our analysis indicates that co-occurring concept pairs tend to be scattered between two extremes – potentially emerging concept pairs with rapid growth in publications over the last few years but an overall small number of publications and more well-established concept pairs with modest growth in publications but an overall larger volume of publications.
Water Nanofilms Mediate Adhesion and Heat Transfer at Hematite-Hydrocarbon Interfaces
Authors: Carman Fionn , Bresme Fernando , Wu Billy , Dini Daniele , Ewen James P.
Published: January 2025

A detailed understanding of nanoscale heat transport at metal oxide-hydrocarbon interfaces is critical for many applications that require efficient thermal management. Under ambient conditions, water nanofilms are expected to form at these interfaces. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we show that water nanofilms at the hydroxylated hematite/poly-α-olefin (PAO) interface significantly affect wettability and thermal transport. Including water nanofilms improves agreement with experimental work of adhesion, which cannot be replicated with anhydrous systems using realistic solid liquid interactions. For water films thicker than one monolayer, interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) converges to a consistent value, independent of solid-liquid interaction strength. This value is dominated by the ITR at the water/PAO interface, due to strong hydrogen bonding between the water nanofilm and the hydroxylated surface. Our simulations provide a more precise estimate of ITR at the hematite/PAO interface by accounting for surface hydration expected in experiments under ambient conditions. This work offers crucial insights into the roles of surface hydroxylation and water nanofilms in controlling wettability and thermal transport at industrially important interfaces.
GESim: Ultrafast Graph-Based Molecular Similarity Calculation via von Neumann Graph Entropy
Authors: Shiokawa Hiroaki , Ishida Shoichi , Terayama Kei
Published: January 2025

Representing molecules as graphs is a natural approach for capturing their structural information, with atoms depicted as nodes and bonds as edges. Although graph-based similarity calculation approaches, such as the graph edit distance, have been proposed for calculating molecular similarity, these approaches are nondeterministic polynomial (NP)-hard and thus computationally infeasible for routine use, unlike fingerprint-based methods. To address this limitation, we developed GESim, an ultrafast graph-based method for calculating molecular similarity on the basis of von Neumann graph entropy. GESim enables molecular similarity calculations by considering entire molecular graphs, and evaluations using two benchmarks for molecular similarity suggest that GESim has characteristics intermediate between those of atom-pair fingerprints and extended-connectivity fingerprints. GESim is provided as an open-source package on GitHub at https://github.com/LazyShion/GESim.

The Rise of Instapoetry in the Contemporary World
Authors: Fathima Riya
Published: January 2025

Instapoetry, a poetic form disseminated primarily through social media platforms like Instagram, has gained remarkable popularity in the contemporary literary scene. Characterized by brevity, accessibility, and emotional resonance, instapoetry has redefined how poetry is written, shared, and consumed. While it has democratized poetry, providing a platform for marginalized voices, it has also drawn criticism for perceived lack of depth and artistic merit. This article examines the rise of instapoetry, its defining features, cultural impact, and the debates surrounding its literary value, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of this modern poetic phenomenon.

Thermogravimetric & Differential Thermal Analysis (TG-DTA)
Authors: Gokul Raj S. , Ramesh Kumar G. , Siddheswaran R.
Published: January 2025

Thermal analysis (TA) involves measuring specific physical and chemical properties as a function of temperature. These properties primarily include enthalpy, heat capacity, mass, and the coefficient of thermal expansion. A simple example of thermal analysis (TA) is determining the coefficient of thermal expansion in metal bars. Another example is measuring the weight changes of oxysalts or hydrates as they decompose under heat. TA has a wide range of applications in solid-state science, including the study of solid-state reactions, thermal decompositions, phase transitions, and the construction of phase diagrams. Most solids exhibit some form of thermal activity, making them suitable for investigation through TA. The primary TA techniques are thermogravimetry (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). TGA measures the mass of a sample as a function of temperature or time, while DTA detects changes in heat content by measuring the temperature difference (ΔT) between a sample and an inert reference material as a function of temperature. In a nutshell, Thermogravimetric (TG) and Differential Thermal Analysis (TG-DTA) are thermal analysis techniques that measure how the physical and chemical properties of materials change as a function of temperature or time under controlled conditions. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) both are complementary thermal analysis techniques commonly used in material science, polymer analysis and chemistry to characterize materials' thermal stability, phase transitions, decomposition, and other thermal properties.

Published: January 2025

Minority carrier lifetime is an important property of semiconducting materials, significantly impacting the performance and efficiency of devices such as solar cells, photodetectors, and light-emitting diodes. This chapter explores this concept and examines its role as an indicator of the material’s quality and its influence on the device’s performance. The factors affecting minority carrier lifetime, including material purity, structural defects, and impurities are analyzed along with their association with recombination processes. The four primary recombination mechanisms radiative, trap-assisted (Shockley-Read-Hall), Auger, and surface recombination are discussed. Additionally, experimental techniques for measuring carrier lifetime, such as photoluminescence decay, microwave photoconductance decay (μ-PCD), and surface photovoltage methods are reviewed for their utility in minority carrier lifetime measurements. This comprehensive chapter about minority carrier lifetime provides essential insights that can be used to understand and optimize semiconducting device performance.

Published: January 2025

Chemical etching is very popular inexpensive technique to study dislocations on crystalline faces. The reason for formation of etch pits at the emergence of dislocations and various tests to confirm the formation of dislocation etch pits are discussed as the etch pit formations do not take place at the dislocations only. The morphology of etch pits and composition of etchants are discussed along with various factors affecting dislocation etch pits. The experimental technique is explained along with evaluation of different kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. This technique looks simple, but the selection of etchant composition is seldom simple, which requires certain care to be taken. The main applications of chemical etching are given.
