Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Nahed Matthieu
Published: June 2022

The primary purpose of this study was to explore the mediating effect of voice on the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) on Creative Performance. It also aimed at finding whether a direct relationship exists between LMX and Creative Performance. Employees working in the Banking Industry within Lebanon were surveyed. The data obtained from 301 participants was analyzed using SPSS software and the model was tested using structural equation modeling through Onyx. Results indicated that voice fully mediated the relationship between LMX and Creative Performance. Future research and managerial implications were proposed. Employees’ creative performance is a main pillar for the success of a lot of organizations. This is mainly because amidst the battle for sustainability in this ever-growing market of innovation, only creative organizations survive. Those with new ideas and booming trends. Employees will have the ability to grow and work free while organizations benefit from their creativity to facilitate the work and grow faster. The password for this creativity is allowing your employee to do so. Therefore, a good relationship between the employee and their correspondent leader will allow them to voice more and then performing creatively. The top objective behind this study is to research the mediating effect of voice on the leaders and subordinates relationship (LMX) on creative performance. Therefore, and in order to search for the following quest “What is the mediating effect of voice on the leaders relationship on creative performance, a collection of voluntary participants from the banking sector in Lebanon contributed for the empirical results of this study. Nevertheless, in the time and place where the study took place, negative aspects of voice where found to mediate the relation. This research, among very few, sheds the light on the negative role of employee voice. Temporary and full time employees from several banks in Lebanon built the base sample of this study. They answered a survey over how the perceive the three aspects of the research, LMX, voice, and creative performance. The target was to examine how the quality of LMX and voice effect creative performance. Using structural equation modeling, the theoretical model proposed was tested. Research found a positive relation between the three studied factors Leader-Member Exchange, voice, and the creative performance. This research’s originality is finding how a good quality Leader-Member Exchange will allow employees to voice more in organizations and thus perform creatively. The absence of a link between the three aspects mentioned brought attention to the research. This study will help leaders perceive the value of their relationships with employees while understanding that they impact directly performance.

Screening, Diagnosis, and Assessment of Malnutrition Risk Factors in a Hospital Care Setting Prior and Post a Multidisciplinary Educational Intervention. (c2020)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, El Chaar Dayana
Published: June 2022

Hospital malnutrition among newly admitted hospital patients has been reported to impose deteriorating outcomes on the health status of hospitalized patients and impose burdens on the hospitals and healthcare systems. Early detection, identification of risk factors, and appropriate multidisciplinary treatment of malnutrition remain crucial in attenuating its effects. This study aimed to identify malnourished patients using two screening tools: Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and Nutrition Risk Screening-2002 (NRS-2002), and three diagnostic tools: European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) criteria, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics/American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (AND/ASPEN) criteria, and Global Leadership Initiative (GLIM) consensus. In addition, it aimed to assess the potential risk factors of malnutrition, their change with the use of different tools of identification, and evaluate the impact of an educational intervention on the nurses’ knowledge and practices regarding malnutrition. This single center, quasi-experimental study recruited and screened a total of 579 patients, 121(20.90%) of which were identified as nutritionally at risk on the screening tools. Diagnostic assessment revealed that 9.30% of the patients were malnourished on the ESPEN diagnostic tool, 20.62% on the AND/ASPEN tools, and 20.30% on the GLIM consensus. The risk factors of malnutrition differed based on the method used for screening or assessment. Body mass index (BMI), presence of pressure ulcers (PU), and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score remained significant (p<0.0001) across different logistic regression models for various identification tools. The educational intervention, which was conducted for 101 nurses, revealed significant improvement in knowledge of the nurses regarding their role in malnutrition (p<0.0001). However, only slight advancement in practice was detected as the agreement of the initial malnutrition screening, using the NRS-2002, between the nurses and the dietitians improved from a slight agreement (k=0.612) to a fair agreement (k=0.241). In conclusion, focusing on appropriate screening and assessment of newly hospitalized malnourished patients, identifying potential risk factors of malnutrition, and optimizing multidisciplinary care plans yields better outcomes for patients and health care systems.
Characterizing the effect of arginine deprivation on breast cancer cell migration and proliferation. (2021)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, El Hajj George
Published: June 2022

Depriving cells of arginine, a semi-essential amino acid, is a developing strategy to target various cancer types. However, little is known about the effect of arginine-degrading enzymes in breast cancer, a disease of diverse molecular and phenotypic subtypes. In this project, we utilized a pharmacologically formulated human recombinant arginase (HuArgI(Co)-PEG5000) to evaluate the impact of arginine deprivation on breast cancer. We studied three breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 (a non-metastatic model for luminal breast cancer), UACC-2087 (a slow-growing model of triple negative breast cancer), and MDA-MB-231 (a highly aggressive and metastatic model of triple negative breast cancer). Using wound healing assay, Ki67 immunofluorescence assay, and annexin v pi assay, we respectively found that a 72-hour HuArgI(Co)-PEG5000 treatment mitigated MCF-7 and UACC-2087 cells’ migration, proliferation and survival. Interestingly, while treatment of MDA-MB-231 for a shorter time frame (24h) with HuArgI(Co)-PEG5000 did not result in robust anti-migratory or anti-proliferative effects, longer (72h) incubations induced a level of cell death in this cell line superseding that of UACC-2087 and MDA-MB-231. Our findings suggest the presence of differential mechanisms of action for arginine depriving enzymes across breast cancer subtypes, and point towards robust cytotoxic effects in highly proliferative triple negative breast cancer cells.
THE FAILURE OF AN EFFECTIVE HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE TO PROTECT SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN REFUGEES AND ASYLUM SEEKERS. (c2021)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Garbout Wafa
Published: June 2022

Throughout its history, Tunisia has never been an immigration country until recently following the outbreak of the Libyan civil war in 2011. During their migratory journey to reach Tunisia as a transit or a destination country, Sub-Saharan Africans on the move face various human rights violations that may also be considered as crimes against humanity, including killing, kidnapping, torture, and extortion, as well as rape and other degrading practices conducted by the human traffickers and smugglers or inside detention centers controlled by armed militias. When reaching Tunisia through land or when being intercepted in the Mediterranean by the Tunisian coastal guards while they are trying to get to Europe, Sub-Saharan Africans on the move seek asylum and protection through UNHCR as the entity that has the authority of refugee status determination RSD, considering the absence of national asylum law in Tunisia. This paper seeks to highlight the failure of an effective humanitarian response by the Tunisian government and the international community to protect Sub-Saharan Africans on the move. Likewise, this paper seeks to accentuate the urgent need to protect the vulnerable Sub-Saharan Africans on the move in Tunisia in light of the rise of xenophobia, racism, and hate crimes towards them. This paper also tries to study and analyze the core reasons and factors that led to this humanitarian crisis and the failure to solve it.
(Re)Negotiating Intimacy in Labor Migration Contexts Women Migrant Workers in Beirut. (c2021)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Alaedine Rola
Published: June 2022

Migration studies generally tend to sideline the personal and the intimate in migrants’ trajectories. Analyses of labor migration are largely flawed by a focus on economic necessity and accounts on labor migrants are overly structural. In the context of Lebanon, academic publications and grey literature have portrayed women migrant workers as helpless victims of the inherently abusive sponsorship system, Kafala. The infamous Kafala and the abuse of women migrant workers are well documented but the trends of female agency countering the hardships of this particular migration have yet to be investigated. Motivated by a concern for social struggles taking place at the seemingly weakest intersection of race, gender, class, and immigration status, and seeking to steer away from the traditional paradigms, this research investigates the personal trajectories of women migrant workers in Lebanon with a focus on their ‘romantic’ intimate lives. It examines the interplay between global and local processes, public and private spheres, and the ‘free visa’ system, to identify how ‘freelance’ women migrant workers navigate the labor migration process and how this process becomes consequential in accounts of the intimate. As it seeks to understand how women migrant workers (re-)negotiate romantic intimacy and what intimacy-related patterns arise in contexts of high-structural violence, the research follows a multiple-case study design based on the country of origin. It adopts the framework of labor migration-specific intimacy field and national-belonging field and examines the role of gender capital.
Detection of Impurities in Acetaminophen Intravenous and Oral Formulations Available on the Lebanese Market. (c2022)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Rahme Rita
Published: June 2022

Introduction: The presence of impurities in pharmaceutical formulations has been a concern worldwide. Acetaminophen is a commonly used drug for its analgesic and antipyretic properties. We report here a novel method for the impurity profiling of intravenous acetaminophen formulations by head space gas chromatography. In addition, impurity profiling of oral acetaminophen tablets and capsules available on the Lebanese market and manufactured in Lebanon was not reported, as well. Objective: The purpose of this study is to detect impurities present in intravenous and oral samples of acetaminophen on the Lebanese market and analyze the risks that these impurities pose to human health. Methods: static headspace gas chromatography- mass spectrometry was utilized as one of the most suitable methods to detect organic volatile impurities. Samples for intravenous use where first lyophilized prior to analysis. A total of 25 samples were analyzed: 9 and 16 for intravenous and oral use, respectively. Toxicological review was performed on the detected impurities and the different risks associated were analyzed. Results: of the 9 intravenous samples analyzed, 6 contained impurities. As for the oral samples, 9 out of 16 samples contained impurities. A total of 14 different impurities were detected: acetaldehyde, cyclomethicone 5, cyclomethicone 6, dibutyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, diacetamate, ethanol, ethyl stearate, formic acid, glycidol, methyl carbamate, methyl hydrazine, methyl stearate, and triethylamine. Several of the detected impurities are highly nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, neurotoxic, carcinogenic, and/or teratogenic. Conclusion: In view of the toxicity of the detected impurities and the negative impact they carry on the quality of the formulation as well as on human health, it is of utmost importance for the concerned pharmaceutical industries to take appropriate measures to control the source of these impurities and abide by the guidelines set by the regulatory authorities all around the world. Regulatory authorities should also take the necessary measures to preserve the safety of treated patients.
Fringe Shakespeare: Shakespeare as You’ve Never Seen It Before
Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), Guerrero Isabel
Published: June 2022

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe has thousands of shows every year and dozens of Shakespeare productions among them. To stand out in the saturated festival market, Shakespeare productions emphasise their popular appeal, rebranding Shakespeare as a simultaneously familiar and, at the same time, new product. The neoliberal market conditions of the festival impose a series of limitations and, consequently, Shakespeare productions need to adjust to time and space restrictions and reduce their casts and sets. Shakespeare productions, therefore, negotiate these constraints in order to attract an audience, a tension that has given rise to specific theatrical approaches to Shakespeare in performance. The main objective of this article is therefore to provide an understanding of Fringe Shakespeare, that is, the theatrical events featuring Shakespeare in performance at the Edinburgh Fringe whose distinctive characteristics are determined by the festival context. To do so, the first part of the article reviews the concept of fringe theatre, examines the tension between innovation and material constraints and explores the reasons why so many companies decide to stage Shakespeare at the Edinburgh Fringe. The second part examines the performing trends in Fringe Shakespeare: appropriations, solo shows, new writing, adaptations into unusual genres and parodies. This will shed light on Fringe Shakespeare and its definition as a theatrical event in the first decades of the twenty-first century.
Frankenstein’s Self-Portrait: Politicizing Transsexualism in The Danish Girl
Authors:   University of Granada, Rodríguez-Salas Gerardo
Published: June 2022

This essay aims to contribute to the contemporary transgender debate by using Lili Elbe’s account of her life in Man Into Woman (1933), David Ebershoff’s novel The Danish Girl (2000) and Tom Hooper’s film adaptation of the latter (2015) as case studies. All three narratives explore biologism and medicalization as being closely aligned with the Frankenstein metaphor in terms of the conceptualization of trans bodies. However, this essay contends that Ebershoff’s novel, although tending towards the much-criticized allegorization of such bodies as the exceptional locus of gender trouble, engages in a subtly political enterprise where an androgynous and liberating third space is made available to transgender identities.
Reshaping New York City: The Child Gaze in Todd Haynes’ Wonderstruck (2017)
Authors:   University of Zaragoza, Buesa Andrés
Published: June 2022

This article looks at Todd Haynes’ Wonderstruck and explores the ways in which New York, as a cinematic city, is reshaped in the film through the eyes of children. Given the rich intertextual links that can be traced in Wonderstruck, the article situates the cinematic New York alluded to by the film—the city of the late 20s and the 70s—as a metropolis characterised by alienation. The child’s gaze, in its unregulated and sensorial way of looking at the world, is argued to transform this image of an alienated New York into a rehumanised version of the city. Drawing on textual analysis, the article contends that New York is thus mapped, both literal and metaphorically, as a living entity and a place defined by the subjective experience of its people. In this process, the film negotiates the constructive links between urbanity and sense of place.
Rewriting the American Dream for the Trump Era and Beyond in Gary Shteyngart’s Lake Success (2018)
Authors:   Universidad de Málaga, Bryla Martyna
Published: June 2022

This essay analyses Gary Shteyngart’s Lake Success (2018) as an inquiry into the formative narratives of the American identity—the American Dream and self-making—through the story of a hedge-fund manager, Barry, who abandons his wife and child with autism to travel across the US just as the country is about to elect Donald Trump as president. Building on the intertextual connection with The Great Gatsby (1925), this essay contextualizes the ongoing corruption of these narratives within the culture of unbridled individual advancement, arguing that Trump’s victory has further normalized opportunism and the dissociation between individual success and collective well-being. Although this hollowing out of the American Dream and self-making renders a rather bleak picture of contemporary US, the novel suggests the possibility of change, both for Barry and America, as it calls for the re-insertion of the other into the formative narratives of American identity, thus expanding their current limits.

Published: June 2022

Considerando o cenário atual da relação do ser humano com a imagem, sua natureza simbólica e suas dimensões endógena e exógena, refletimos no presente artigo sobre novos desdobramentos do fenômeno da iconofagia. Pensando o papel da imagem nos processos imaginários, o sonho é espaço de vivência das imagens endógenas. Levamos em conta a importância do trabalho com os sonhos para a saúde geral do indivíduo e da coletividade, como apontado por C. G. Jung e consideramos sua importância para a criação de estratégias de resiliência a partir dos moldes propostos por B. Cyrulnik. Adicionamos dados da neurociência que mostram a decodificação de imagens oníricas, o estabelecimento de diálogos com sonhadores durante o sono REM e a identificação de neurônios que respondem de maneira exclusiva a determinadas imagens visuais. O objetivo é propor uma reflexão crítica levando em conta o potencial das imagens simbólicas e os riscos da possível intervenção ideológica e econômica dos sonhos.
Fantasmagoria Maquínica
Authors: Luersen Eduardo Harry
Published: June 2022

Ao longo do desenvolvimento histórico de novas tecnologias, os ruídos operativos e não-intencionais de cada meio foram sendo absorvidos como parte dos repertórios estéticos dos meios audiovisuais. Na medida em que a eletricidade tornou-se um condutor cotidiano de energia, a sonoridade das falhas elétricas passou a coabitar o parque sonoro de rangidos e colisões que compunham o milieu mecânico. No design sonoro contemporâneo, os estalidos elétricos e os sons de motores coexistem com uma vazão de novos ruídos proporcionados pelas tecnoestéticas digitais. Neste artigo, a partir do caso dos jogos digitais, propomos pensar estes fantasmas da memória das mídias como processos de criação, contrapondo um entendimento dominante da memória audiovisual enquanto apenas um acervo a ser preenchido.

Published: June 2022

Este artigo procura investigar a relação da documentação radiofônica, mais especialmente do gênero feature, com os aparelhos que possibilitaram a criação de imagens técnicas sonoras fixadas em suporte. Com base no referencial teórico ofertado por estudiosos do som como Pierre Schaeffer (2002, 2010, 2017) e Rodolfo Caesar (2012, 2020), e na filosofia proposta para a fotografia por Vilém Flusser (2009) e Roland Barthes (2012), busca-se identificar os elementos fundamentais que aproximam o rádio documental do universo imagético do cinema e da fonografia. Por meio de revisão bibliográfica revisita-se este diálogo, constatando-se a necessidade de um reconhecimento do estatuto imagético do som. Conclui-se que tal reconhecimento deve ser levado em conta no desenvolvimento de formas criativas de documentação sonora.

Published: June 2022

O aplicativo TikTok tem seu principal foco na criação e compartilhamento de vídeos curtos, mas com grande vinculação à dimensão sonora, através da presença de músicas ou arquivos de áudio nas publicações. Neste sentido, destacamos os chamados Challenges (desafios), que consistem em uma reencenação de algum vídeo viral (de rápida disseminação) que é repetida pelos participantes utilizando sua própria imagem. Este artigo examina o Challenge #memoryunlocked, no qual os usuários constroem uma espécie de passado audiovisual a partir da convocação de uma canção pop associada à sua adolescência. Ao propormos uma cartografia pelos audiovisuais deste challenge, aproximamos conceitos de memória (Bergson, 2006); dispositivo (Parente, 2007) e banco de dados (Manovich, 2001, 2015) que contribuem para compreendermos mais sobre os “construtos de lembrança” que emergem impulsionados pela música.

Hereditary retinal dystrophies are clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of conditions, many of which have similar symptoms and functional findings, making correct diagnosis difficult. Bietti corneoretinal dystrophy is a rare form of hereditary retinal dystrophy with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. With this dystrophy, yellow-white crystals are visualized on the retina and progressive atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, pigment accumulation, and sclerosis of the choriocapillaries are observed. A mutation in the CYP4V2 gene leads to the development of the disease. Currently, 50 different CYP4V2 mutations have been described, most of which are missense mutations. The article presents a clinical case of genetically confirmed Bietti corneoretinal dystrophy with a description of the clinical and functional signs that should be considered when making a diagnosis and taken into account in the differential diagnosis of other hereditary retinal dystrophies. Molecular genetic analysis is necessary in doubtful clinical cases, as well as for genetic counseling of relatives at risk and prenatal testing of high-risk pregnancies.

Published: June 2022

Background

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has greatly impacted China, especially the emergency services since 2020. For many, it raises unique ethical dilemmas, including psychological, moral, social, and economic issues, especially among frontline health workers.

Methods

We explored the moral dilemmas of two groups of frontline nurses during the pandemic through online questionnaires and the Corley Moral Distress Scale. We then investigated the effect of proper anti-epidemic emergency measures on alleviating moral dilemmas and improving their coping styles by exploring questions on anti-epidemic measures implemented.

Results

The average score of all the nurses’ moral dilemmas was 131.27±14.52. They encountered many moral dilemmas during the pandemic. The frontline nurses’ scores indicated more negative coping styles in the first group before systematic preparedness measures were in place.

Conclusions

This study suggests that the “Chinese emergency methods”, a set of epidemic preparedness protocols and guidelines may affect the frontline nurses in reducing moral dilemmas and improving their coping styles.
Evaluation of Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activity of Biogenic Silver Nanoparticles and Gentamicin Against Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Caprine Mastitis
Authors: AL-Dujaily Ali H , Mahmood Alaa K
Published: June 2022

The goal of this study was to assess the antibacterial efficiency of biogenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gentamicin against Staphylococcus aureus that can form biofilms. The characterization of AgNPs‎ was confirmed by the scanning electron microscope (SEM) which was spherical and homogenous in form, with a diameter between 25 and 45 nm. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) presented the size of AgNPs to be 50 nm. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was used to examine the presence of elemental silver. The three-dimensional structure of silver nanoparticles was discovered using an atomic force microscope (AFM), with a diameter of 47.18 nm on average. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) of AgNPs and gentamicin against S. aureus isolated from caprine mastitis were determined using the microdilution assay. The checkerboard microdilution technique was utilized to inspect the synergistic antibacterial activity of AgNPs with gentamicin utilizing the fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI). The antibiofilm capability of AgNPs was also investigated. The results indicate that AgNPs generated by biosynthesis are antibacterial against S. aureus. Moreover, AgNPs and gentamicin exhibit synergistic action. The study's findings suggest that biogenic AgNPs may act as anti-biofilm agents and treat mastitis caused by S. aureus. In conclusions biosynthesized AgNPs exhibit strong antibacterial and antibiofilm effectiveness and synergistic activity when combined with gentamicin.
The Greek ‘success story’ on the international media representations concerning the pandemic of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic concerns the rapid spread of the coronavirus disease that started in late 2019 and has gradually spread across the globe. Prior to the pandemic, Greece had already undergone a decade long financial crisis that had a great impact on the national healthcare system that had been weakened significantly. Along with the second oldest population of Europe and a big number of refugees and migrants living in concentration camps, Greece was not set to have a smooth fight. Against all odds, Greece managed to contain the spread of the virus with the rapid enforcement of a national lockdown. The international media quickly covered the handling of the outbreak from the Greek government and the Greek citizens. The depiction of Greece during the first coronavirus wave was very different to the depiction of Greece during the economic crisis. The depiction of Greece of the pandemic will be analyzed through 35 English and Spanish speaking articles that were published between April and June 2020. The head and sub-headlines of the selected articles will be analyzed and then the analysis will continue with the collection and organization of the metaphors that are used throughout the analysis. A secondary analysis focus on Greece of the past and this analysis will also be centered around the main metaphors that were used to describe Greece of the past. Lastly, the depiction of Greece of the financial crisis will be presented through a literature review. The analyses will then be compared to draw similarities and differences.

Published: June 2022

Objectives : To assess the effectiveness of Chuna manual therapy in patients with Tourette's syndrome.
Methods : We queried nine electronic databases using the keywords “Tourette's Syndrome” and “tuina OR chuna” to identify RCTs that investigated the effectiveness of Chuna manual therapy in patients with Tourette's syndrome.
Results : Thirteen RCTs were selected according to the inclusion criteria. A system- atic review showed that Chuna manual therapy can have a curative effect on patients with Tourette's syndrome.
Conclusions : In this study, 13 RCTs reported that Chuna manual therapy was effec- tive for Tourette's syndrome. These findings provide a basis for its clinical use. However, all studies involved populations belonging to the same country. Many stud- ies lacked details of the research methodology. Therefore, further studies are re- quired to produce high-quality evidence.

Plants play a crucial role in human well-being and health. They provide some of the essential nutrients that humans require as well as act as medications to alleviate and cure various health problems. The purpose of this study is to look into the nutritional value, mineral composition, and the overall contributions of Pterocarpus osun to human nutrition and health. The result of the proximate analysis showed that protein is 9.52% in stem bark and 13.63% in the leaf, while the crude fiber in the stem bark is 37.89% and 46.03%, in the leaf. Ash, 6.74% and 7.46% in the stem bark and leaf respectively while carbohydrate content is 15.37% (stem bark) and 3.26% (leaf). Alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, and tannins were detected in both organs of the plant tested. The mineral elements present include Ca, Mn, Fe, Ni, Mg, Zn, Cr, Co, Cd, Sulphur, and phosphorus. The antioxidant effect compared favorably well with that of the ascorbic acid used as standard. The extracts were screened for antimicrobial activities using eleven human pathogens. Each of the extracts successfully killed six microbes.

This study aimed to determine the yield of activated carbon, iodine number, and surface area of palm activated carbon. Samples were produced by using sodium chloride (NaCl) as an activator. Palm shells that had been produced by the milling process were then sieved with a 12 mesh sieve and soaked in 20 % NaCl solution. The sample solution was heated over a water bath at 70 oC and continued with the drying process at a constant temperature of 105 oC. The activated shells continued the pyrolysis process at temperatures of 300, 400, and 500 oC for 3 hours. The activated carbon obtained from the pyrolysis process was weighed and then washed using hot distilled water. The samples were dried in an oven at a temperature of 105 oC for 24 hours. The results were analyzed for iodine number using iodometric titration method, surface area using Brunauer- Emmett-Teller (BET) method, and pore structure using the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) method. The results showed the best yield was 38.13 % obtained at 20% NaCl and a temperature of 400 oC. The best iodine number was 767.745 mg/g and surface area was 6.790 m2/g, pore volume 4.377 cc/g with pore size 9.781 A.
