MODERN INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX OF THE KEMEROVO OBLAST
Authors: Рябов Валерий , Riabov Valerii , Столбова Ольга , Stolbova Olga
Published: November 2018

The article describes the modern functional and territorial structure of the economic complex of one of the most industrial regions of the Asian Russia – the Kemerovo region. The basic link in the economic complex of the Kemerovo Region is industry. A quarter of the economically active population in the region is employed in industry. Industry provides half of the gross regional product. The role of industry in the economic complex of the Kemerovo region has not changed for many years. In general, the region’s industry has a pronounced raw material orientation. Raw materials industries are the leading ones in the industry structure of the region: the total share of the coal industry, metallurgy, electrical energy and the chemical industry in the total production of industrial products is 85 %. Kuzbass is Russia’s leader in coal mining. The share of high-tech industries is negligible. Machine building accounts for no more than 5 % of industrial production. The industry of the Kemerovo region is characterized by a poly-branch structure, formed primarily on the basis of the coal resources of the Kuznetsk Basin. The leading role belongs to the coal-metallurgical system of production, which forms a number of highly developed energy production cycles (coal-energy, chemicals, pyrometallurgical and others), some of which (raw materials extraction) are located outside the region.
RECONSIDERING THE THEORY OF THE ENERGY PRODUCTION CYCLES: THE CASE OF KUZBASS COAL PRODUCTION CYCLE
Authors: Шерин Егор , Sherin Egor
Published: November 2018

The paper considers the theory of energy production cycles. It indicates its relevance and the possibility of successful application for the analysis of the territorial structure and assessment of the prospects for modernization of the economy. At the same time, questions are raised about the inconsistency of this concept with modern market conditions. An attempt is made to rethink the theory of energy production cycles, on the basis of which the concept «coal cycle of productions» is formulated and the author’s generalized scheme of this cycle is given. Next, the research compares a general scheme of the coal production cycle with the production cycle actually formed around Kuznetsk coals. On the basis of this comparison, the degree of completeness and the reserves for further modernization of this cycle of production were revealed. Among the possible directions of coal use, the most promising for introduction in the Kuzbass are indicated, namely: coal semi-coking, gasification (including underground coal) and preparation of water-coal fuel. The research has revealed some positive effects from this complication of the existing coal production cycle in the Kuzbass.
Past, current, and projected landscape configurational effects on streamflow within the Rocky River HUC-8 watershed of the Charlotte metropolitan region
Authors: Roberts Allen D.
Published: November 2018

This study examined past, current, and projected landscape configuration (LC) impacts on streamflow within a 3,553 square kilometer (km2) Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC)-8 Rocky River (RR) watershed of the Charlotte, North Carolina metropolitan region (CMR). Utilizing a monthly model, Thornthwaite Water Balance (TWB) simulations incorporating LC (blended contagion (CON)-adjusted curve numbers (CNs)) derived from two previous (2001, 2006) and one current (2011) US scale land cover/land use (LC/LU) time snapshots outperformed a blended original (ORG) CN watershed model during the 15-year (180-month) period from January 1999 to December 2013. Findings were confirmed using evaluations from several statistically based, hydrologic model performance predictors. Five-year comparisons of the 2001 time snapshot with the 2006 time snapshot and 2011 time snapshot indicated the least underestimation/overestimation of measured streamflow occurred during the 2001 time snapshot. This period had the highest measured runoff and points towards LC influences on streamflow simulation being potentially more quantifiable during periods of greater watershed precipitation. Watershed LC/LU and climatic data were also projected to the 2030 time snapshot under five different scenarios. Streamflow was projected to be about 2.6% higher in volume than what was estimated for the current (2011) time snapshot using a blended CON-adjusted TWB model.
Adsorption of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid using rice husk biochar, granular activated carbon, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes in a fixed bed column system
Authors: Bahrami Mehdi , Amiri Mohammad Javad , Beigzadeh Bahareh
Published: November 2018

The 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) herbicide, as an aromatic hydrocarbon, is a dangerous and toxic organic pollutant among the agricultural pesticides. In this research, the performance of the biochar made from rice husk (BRH), granular activated carbon (GAC), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was investigated for adsorption of 2,4-D in a fixed-bed column system. The influence of pH (2, 5, 7, 9), flow rate (0.5, 1, 1.5 mL min−1), bed depth (3, 6, 9 cm), and influent 2,4-D concentration (50, 100, 150, 300 mg L−1) on the adsorption process was evaluated. The resulting breakthrough curves indicated that the higher removal efficiency of 2,4-D took place at the lower flow rate, lower influent 2,4-D concentration, higher bed depth, and lower pH. While in most cases the removal ability of GAC was better than other adsorbents, generally, this study confirmed that the BRH, as a cheap and sustainable material, can be a viable alternative to GAC and MWCNTs for remediation and treatment scenarios, particularly in developing countries.
Two- vs. single-stage anaerobic reactors: evaluation of effluent quality and energy production potential using sucrose-based wastewater
Authors: Mota V. T. , Zaiat M.
Published: November 2018

Two- and single-stage anaerobic treatment systems were assessed for treatment performance and for bioenergy production from sucrose-based wastewater. In the two-stage system, a hydrogen-producing upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (HU reactor) was used in the acidogenic phase. The methanogenic reactor of the two-stage system (MF reactor) and the single-stage reactor (SSF reactor) were structured fixed-bed reactors. The two-stage system showed superior performance, evidenced by lower organic acids, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids concentrations in the effluent, and higher biogas methane content and yield. Continuous and stable H2 production was obtained in the acidogenic reactor. At the end of operation, the organic loading rates applied to the two- and single-stage systems were 6.4 and 5.2 gCOD L−1 d−1, respectively. Under these conditions, the effluent soluble COD and volatile suspended solids (VSS) concentrations were 165 and 92 mg L−1 in the two-stage system, and 256 and 244 mg L−1 in the single-stage system, respectively. The energy yield of the two-stage system was 20.69 kJ g−1CODadded, which was 34% higher than the yield of the single-stage system. The sequencing analyses showed that the archaeal distribution changed little between the inoculum and sludge from the MF reactor, in which acetoclastic Methanosaeta was predominant. However, hydrogenotrophic Methanospirillum was found most, followed by Methanosaeta, in the sludge from the SSF reactor.

Published: November 2018

A liquid–gas two-phase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed to simulate flow field and gas hold-up in a pilot-scale oxidation ditch (OD). The volume of fluid (VOF) model and the mass flow inlet boundary condition for gas injection were introduced in this model. The simulated values of the flow velocities and the gas hold-up were verified by experimental measurements in the pilot-scale OD. The results showed that the gas hold-up at test-site 3, immediately downstream of the surface aerator, was the highest among all three test-sites. Most of the gas existed in the upper portion of the ditch and was close to the inner side of the channel. Based on the liquid–gas two-phase CFD model, three operating conditions with different setting height ratios of the submerged impellers were simulated. The simulated results suggested that the setting heights of the submerged impellers have significant impacts on the flow velocity distribution. Lowering the setting height could increase the flow velocity in the pilot-scale OD. An optimal setting height ratio of 0.273 was proposed, which would be beneficial for minimizing sludge sedimentation, especially near the inner side of the curve bend.
Mundo Da Vida E Sistema Na Teoria Do Agir Comunicativo
Authors: Siebeneichler Flavio Beno
Published: November 2018

Neste ensaio abordam-se dois temas principais: de um lado, o papel eminentemente central e paradoxal do conceito de mundo da vida na construção da teoria habermasiana centrada na atividade comunicativa; do outro, como esta concepção de mundo da vida pretende lançar as bases para uma via de análise da sociedade em geral. Tenta-se mostrar como o conceito de mundo da vida – que se estrutura e diferentes níveis - é fruto de um longo processo de reconstrução e de apropriações críticas de princípios teóricos oriundos da filosofia e das ciências sociais, especialmente da teoria de sistemas, de Niklas Luhmann.

O trabalho pretende demonstrar que a teoria da racionalidade comunicativa, desenvolvida por Jürgen Habermas, permite um posicionamento, a um só tempo, crítico e positivo, quanto às redes digitais. Porquanto seu desempenho não é apenas crítico no sentido de uma negação, mas principalmente criativo e dinâmico, visto que oferece o modelo de um procedimento discursivo – público e democrático – que permite avaliar pretensões de validade das redes digitais.
Apontamentos sobre cooperação e crítica nas filosofias de R. Rorty e J. Habermas
Authors: Siebeneichler Flavio Beno
Published: November 2018

A comunicação pretende sinalizar que o debate entre a “filosofia sem espelhos”, de Richard Rorty e a teoria do agir comunicativo, de Jürgen Habermas, pode ser entendido como exemplo ímpar de crítica e cooperação na busca da verdade filosófica. A estratégia de apresentação se configura em dois procedimentos distintos: Em um primeiro momento proceder-se-á à demarcação sumária da presença do pensamento de Habermas em textos característicos de Rorty e vice-versa. A seguir, será empreendida uma tentativa visando mostrar que a relação entre o pensamento de Rorty e o de Habermas é dialética, isto é, ao mesmo tempo crítica e cooperativa. O objeto principal do debate entre ambos tem a ver, principalmente, com a correta interpretação da virada linguística efetuada na filosofia contemporânea: até que ponto ela implica o abandono puro e simples da teoria da modernidade e do conceito de racionalidade, de Kant, o que implicaria uma verdadeira autodemissão da filosofia? Qual deve ser o critério do novo discurso filosófico: a comensurabilidade científica ou a incomensurabilidade de um não-consenso edificante?

Authors: Orlik Grzegorz , Khan Mujtaba Ali , Grieb Paweł
Published: November 2018

Purpose: Filgrastim, a recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) produced
in Escherichia coli, is indicated for treatment of neutropenia-related conditions in cancer patients. It has been
marketed as Neupogen since 1991. In 2006, biosimilar rhG-CSF products have been approved in the European
Union (EU). The aim of this study was to compare quality attributes of the originator filgrastim with its three
biosimilars which came from the EU market in 2014 to verify whether their similarity is maintained since their
market approval.

Materials/Methods:

Spectrophotometric analysis was used to determine protein content in analyzed products.
Chromatographic and electrophoretic analyses were applied to verify the presence of high and low-molecular
weight impurities. Secondary and tertiary structure of the drugs were investigated with circular dichroism and
intrinsic fluorescence. Finally, biological activity of the drugs was assessed using cell proliferation assay.

Results:

All products displayed protein content close to the label concentration with a ±6% variation. Two oxidized
forms and a deamidated form were present at <0.5%. Levels of dimers and other high molecular-weight
impurities were similar except for one product, which contained higher amount of the dimer. Profiles and levels
of process-related impurities were comparable. The three-dimensional conformation of the molecules with respect
to exposed tryptophan residues was similar. The relative potencies of the products were comparable to the reference
standard with a ±2% variation.

Conclusion:

This study shows that a high level of similarity is maintained among originator and three biosimilar
filgrastims up to 5 years from their first registration in the EU.

Authors: Behera Sapan K. , Das Saibal , Chengappa Kavadichanda G. , Xavier Alphienes S. , Selvarajan Sandhiya
Published: November 2018

Aim:

Multiple drug intolerance syndrome (MDIS) is a unique clinical entity distinct
from other drug hypersensitivity syndromes. The aim of this review was to critically appraise the
various aspects of MDIS.

Methods:

A review was conducted to search for the causes, mechanism, clinical features, and management
of MDIS.

Results:

The most common cause of MDIS is antibiotics followed by non-steroidal antiinflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs). Although some non-specific immunological mechanisms are involved,
the immunological tests for MDIS are negative. Rashes, gastrointestinal reflux, headache,
cough, muscle ache, fever, dermatitis, hypertension, and psychiatric symptoms are the usual manifestations.
Treatment is mostly symptomatic with the withdrawal of the offending drug. Drug rechallenges
and desensitization may be required for the management of this syndrome.

Conclusion:

MDIS occurs by a nonimmune mechanism which requires a prompt withdrawal of the
offending drug(s), and in some cases may require drug re-challenge and desensitization.

Published: November 2018

Background:

Cancer is one of the leading diseases responsible for deaths in the society. According to
the American cancer society, there will be 95,270 new cases of colon cancer in the U.S. in 2016. When a normal
cell turns cancerous they develop into tumours, which produce various pro-inflammatory and inflammatory
cytokines and chemokines that attract leukocytes to the site of growth. The main aim of this paper is to introduce
readers about the increased number of cancer patient, effects of cancer and need of research on same.

Methods:

The target molecules were prepared by reacting pyrazolealdehyde with appropriate aromatic ketone
by using polyethylene glycol (PEG-300) as green solvent and catalyst to yield chalcone. Furthermore, the reaction
of chalcones with thiosemicabazide yields asymmetric 1-thiocarbamoyl pyrazoles. All the newly synthesized
compounds were in vitro screened for their anticancer activities against Colon SW-620 by employing the
sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay method. Also all the synthesized compounds tested for in vitro antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory activity by using known literature methods.

Results:

Preliminary in vitro evaluation indicated that most of the compounds 4c, 4d and 4e possess distinct
cytotoxicity profile against Colon SW-620 cell line compared to standard drug adriamycin. All the tested compounds
showed good to excellent antioxidant activity against one or more reactive (H2O2, DPPH, SOR and NO)
radical scavenging species. Additionally, all the synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antiinflammatory
activity. Compounds 4a, 4b and 4e shows potent anti-inflammatory activity as compared to diclofenac
sodium as a standard reference.

Conclusion:

New anti- Colon SW-620 cancer agents are the need of time, we trust that 1-thiocarbamoyl pyrazole
derivatives 4c, 4d and 4e constitute an interesting template for the evaluation of new anticancer agent also
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory work may provide an interesting insight for further development.

Published: November 2018

Carbon nanodots (CNDs) which are part family of carbon nanoparticles have drawn a lot of attention due to their prominent characters and wide prospective applications. The materials are non-toxic and exhibit fluorescence properties that are potential for application in photocatalysis, optoelectronic, bioimaging and sensors. Various approaches of CNDs synthesis have been investigated by means of a large variety of starting materials and techniques. A green and an effective approach in gaining CNDs from wastes biomass-carbonaceous particles of a dried solid waste of cow manure have been employed by hydrothermal treatment. The CNDs were then attained after carbonaceous particles dissolution step under microwave irradiation. The temperature range of hydrothermal treatment was in between 250 to 300 °C. The formation of C=C, C-O bonds, and conjugated structures has been observed by FTIR and photoluminescence properties have been identified under 366 nm of UV irradiation. Furthermore, the morphology of as-synthesized CNDs was investigated by HR-TEM and crystallinity was observed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Photocatalytic degradation of synthetic dye solution of methylene blue (MB) in the presence of carbon dots has been investigated under visible light.

Authors: Sari Ira Prima , Basyiruddin Muhammad Imam , Hertadi Rukman
Published: November 2018

Biosurfactant is environmentally friendly surfactant produced by a certain microorganism in a lipid-rich medium. A previous study has shown that Halomonas meridiana BK-AB4 had the potential of a moderately halophilic bacterium in converting olive oil into biosurfactant. In the present study, the effect of changing the carbon source from olive oil into cheaper and more abundant vegetable oil, which is palm oil, for the production of the biosurfactant was evaluated. The study began by optimizing the production medium with varying the nitrogen source, the concentration of palm oil and pH. The optimum condition of biosurfactant production was observed in the medium consisted of 0.6% (w/v) of urea, 2% (v/v) of palm oil and pH 9. The resulted biosurfactant was stable at pH 7–10 and in the salt concentration of 6–15%. Biosurfactant activity in lowering air-water surface tension was measured using the Du Noüy ring method, and the value of critical micelle concentration (CMC) was about 233 ppm. At this point, the surface tension of water dropped from 68.3 to 49.8 dyne/cm. Preliminary structural analysis by using FTIR technique suggested that the resulted biosurfactant has -OH, -C-H aliphatic C=C, H-C-C and C=O groups in its structure, which is similar to that of the fatty-acid type of biosurfactant. The potential of biosurfactant as a metal corrosion inhibitor was evaluated by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) that measured at 30 °C. The measurement revealed that the highest inhibition level was observed at the biosurfactant concentration about 200 ppm that corresponds to the inhibition level about 53.23%.

Characterization of the pillarization process product of ZrO2-montmorillonite from Zirconium oxychloride local made of PSTA-BATAN has been done. The objective of this research is to control the quality of pillarization process product of the new material ZrO2-montmorilonite.  This new material was produced from local made Zirconium oxychloride (ZOC) of PSTA-BATAN by dry process and bentonite (Na-montmorillonite) imported from Thailand by the pillarization process. During optimization the pillarization quality control would be followed by absorbance using Diffuse Reflectance Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis DRS) spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). While the type of functional group can be detected by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometry, and the surface image was observed by using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and BET methods. The result gained showed that the optimum quality of ZrO2-montmorillonite was at Zr concentration of 0.2 M with the absorbance of 1.04 au by XRD and DRS. The best precursor used was ethylene glycol with a drying process in the cold conditions at the absorbance of 1.2 au. The best calcination process was at the temperature of 600 °C with the reached absorbance value of 1.3 au. The results of TEM image observation after calcination at the temperature of 600 °C were clearer and more porous than before and showed specific surface area of 105 m2/g. The interpretation results of FTIR spectra on the new material of ZrO2-montmorillonite contained the cluster of ΞSi-OH, ΞAl-OH and Si-O functional groups indicating pillar groups.

Una voz poético-métrica de Cervantes: aquelindo en El rufián dichoso
Authors: Fernández Hoyos Sonia , Fernández de la Torre José Luis
Published: November 2018

El rufián dichoso no es una simple comedia de santos o una hagiografía del estudiante-valentón Lugo en Sevilla (jornada I), ni su metamorfosis definitiva en fray Cristóbal de la Cruz en México (jornadas II y III), sino una ficción erizada de problemas técnicos. De entre ellos, destaca el aquelindo que se canta y baila en el inicio del texto. Mediante un recorrido por opiniones crítico-métricas a propósito de aquelindo, nuestro estudio establece la hipótesis de que esta composición adquiere en Cervantes la forma de un romance-jácara en dos quintillas y cinco redondillas, lejos del perqué tradicional desde el que se ha intentado explicar.

Published: November 2018

La Storia antica del Messico de Francisco Javier Clavijero circuló en su edición italiana por las principales ciudades de América a finales del siglo xviii y principios del xix. A partir de su presencia en el Telégrafo Mercantil, Rural, Político, Económico e Historiográfico del Río de la Plata, se analizó su difusión y apropiación. A pesar de los inconvenientes que tuvo la obra de Clavijero para su edición al castellano, se publicó en Buenos Aires una traducción local. La obra fue leída como una reivindicación americana, en el marco del proyecto ilustrado de civilización de las costumbres que la élite criolla fomentó mediante la prensa.
Alfonso Reyes lee a Nietzsche: cultura clásica y ethos agonista
Authors: Ugalde Quintana Sergio
Published: November 2018

Este artículo analiza la importancia que la temprana lectura del libro de Friedrich Nietzsche, El nacimiento de la tragedia, desempeñó en dos momentos distintos de la obra de Alfonso Reyes. En el primer período, en la etapa juvenil del escritor mexicano, que se desarrolla entre 1906 y 1909, se manifiesta, en sintonía con su lectura nietzscheana, un determinante impulso dionisíaco. En el segundo momento, en el período maduro y sosegado, posterior al regreso de Reyes a México en 1939, el poeta mantiene una actitud de combate, agónica, contra la desmesura. El trayecto de Reyes va de un pathos dionisíaco a un ethos agonista. Las dos fuerzas antagónicas ‒los espíritus apolíneo y dionisíaco‒ que generaban la tragedia griega y fueron analizadas por el filólogo alemán siempre acompañaron las reflexiones de Reyes sobre la cultura clásica.

The prominent characteristic of the pre-modern and modern philosophical discourse in the archipelago is generalized to that of the spiritualism with the saivistic discourse; including a Balinese modern philosophical text entitled Aji Sangkya. However, the title of the text shows diachronic relationship with the Samkhya Dharsana the so-called Indian (Hindu) materialism with its jargon ‘evolution’. The tension between the discourse of spiritualism and materialism in the text is the main concern of the article based on its stylistic representations. The contextual stylistics and the deconstruction approach provide great opportunities to the Aji Sangkya to be interpreted as well as contextualized. Having elaborated the data, it is found that the text implies the process of materialization of the spirit (purusha or atman) into the circle of material (pradhana), until finally becoming material itself. Nonetheless, this materialization cannot merely be understood as the process with the ultimate goal of materialism, but implicitly of humanization since the human (manusa) comes as the ultimate accumulation of all the philosophical categories. The term related to the materialization must be taken as the process of humanization or making the spirit humanized; the humanism take the middle position between the spiritualism and the materialism in Aji Sangkya, the so-called Balinese Hindu modern text of philosophy.

Universities as knowledge-based organizations need to have a conducive, adaptive and flexible structure and culture, in facing any changes. The ideals of becoming a professional organization can be realized, but it demands the organizational components involved directly in the process of forming human resources, ie employees and lecturers must have a harmonious relationship, it should be realized that the harmonization in the college organization is very important. It takes individual awareness, as well as their communal role within the organization to avoid disharmony. Therefore, a good culture is created within the organization. Hinduism teachings taught the concept of Tri Hita Karana or three causes of happiness, in which the achievement of harmonious relationships based of aspects of religious, sociological and ecological. In the implementation these three causes are integrated with each other and mutually influence the creation of harmony of organization goals will be more easily achieved.
Pancasila Values In Tradition On The Bali Hindu Community Reviewed From Bali Adat Law And Hindu's Law
Authors: Sandria Arinita
Published: November 2018

Adat law is an unwritten law that applies to a particular society. One of adat law that is still valid in Indonesia is Balinese Adat Law which is strongly influenced by Hindu religious law. Adat Law Society of Bali has many traditions related to various religious activities, one of which is ngayah. The development of the times influenced the existence of the ngayah tradition in the Balinese Hindu community. Many Balinese Hindus, especially those outside Bali, currently do not carry out ngayah. This will certainly have a negative impact on the continuation of the ngayah tradition. This is what prompted researchers to conduct research on cultivation in the Balinese Hindu community. The problems raised by researchers in this regard are: 1) How the implementation of Pancasila values contained in ngayah in the Balinese Hindu community; and 2) How is the application of sanctions for Balinese Hindus who do not implement ngayah in terms of Adat Law and Hindu Law

This research was carried out in a descriptive analytical way, which provides a careful description of the facts that are related to the research. This study uses a juridical empirical approach. This research was conducted in two stages, namely library research (library research) and field data. Data collection techniques in this study were conducted in two ways, namely doku men and interview studies Data analysis was performed using qualitative juridical analysis methods. The location of the study to obtain data in this writing is the library and institutions related to research. The conclusions that can be drawn are: 1) Ngayah as a tradition in the Balinese Hindu community is very full of the values of Pancasila; and 2) Application of sanctions for Balinese Hindus who do not carry out ngayah in terms of Adat Law and Religious Law in general are customary sanctions in the form of danda

The reasons why these traditions’ always celebrated by the children’s are affected from holiness, customs and cultures. Second, Ngendar on the naming the characters which is as understanding character children’s with their religion that are affected by two things, the naming about religion behavior with way reprimand and appreciation through their confidence (Sradha) and Karma Phala Sradha. Next function is to grow their awareness. There are awareness that growed on their souls is to practice Ngendar traditions’, as awareness conscience, have an empathy and love the kind. The third function is in Ngendar tradition was happened on the actualizations those appearance of the habits to doing kindness, actualizations appearances on their social activities and actualization attitude. The third result from the implication education character value were has in Ngendar tradition that do by the children’s is implication religious value, implication honest value, implication discipline value, implication awareness environment value and implication the responsibilities. 
Design of Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Ubiquinone-10 for Transdermal Treatment
Authors: Rochman M Fatchur , . Isnaeni , Hendradi Esti
Published: November 2018

Ubiquinone-10 is a cellular endogenous antioxidant that resides in the epidermal layer. Ubiquinone-10 can increase the production of basal membrane components, fibroblast proliferation and protect cells from oxidative damage, so with increasing age, the amount of Ubiquinone-10 body will decrease. Bioavailability and permeability of Ubiquinone-10 are very low, thus affecting the potential efficacy and absorption in Ubiquinone-10. The preparation of Ubiquinone-10 formulation needs to be done to obtain products that have good bioavailability. Nanostructured Lipid Carrier (NLCs) is a modification of the SLN system, consisting of a certain amount of lipid matrix and liquid lipids. Mixtures of solid lipids and liquid lipids can provide space for drug trapping. The system will remain in solid form by controlling the concentration of the liquid lipids to be added into the formula so that the drug release process can be controlled.

The purpose of this research is to determine the optimum composition of solid lipid and liquid lipid in order to increase the penetration and effectiveness of Q10 as antioxidant in anti-aging cosmetics. Solid lipid and liquid lipid used in this study were cetyl palmitate and caprylic, which were combined to four (4) different ratios, namely 10:0; 9:1; 7:3 and 5:5. NLC Q10 in this study was produced by high shear homogenization method at 3400 rpm for 5 cycles and at 24000 for 1 cycle. The fourth formula was evaluated in term of characteristics, penetration and effectiveness. From the pH test , it was known that all formulas met the skin pH range (4.0-6.0). For the particle size test , all formulas (NLC 1 - NLC 4) were in the range from 269.13 to 354.77 nm with NLC 3 (7: 3) had the smallest particle size. The results of viscosity and surface tension test were also consistent with the theory, where the addition of liquid lipid reduced viscosity and surface tension of the system. The entrapment efficiency (EE) demonstrated the EE of NLC 1: 22.24%; NLC 2: 24.71%; NLC 3: 58.21% and NLC 4:36.94%. The penetration test showed all systems were able to penetrate the dermis layer at the 5th hour. NLC 3 (7:3) had
more rapid onset, while the NLC Q10 with the ratio of lipid 9:1, had slower onset of action but can penetrate farther than
the other NLC Q10 system. The result of Q10 effectiveness test showed NLC 2 (9:1) has lowest total macrophage (23.33) and very dense collagen observation (score : 4). From this research, it can be concluded that NLC 2 (9:1) had the most optimal lipid composition to increase the penetration and effectiveness of Q10 as an antioxidant in anti-aging cosmetics.
Order-disorder transition in Cu2ZnSnS4 solar cells from Monte Carlo simulations
Authors: Wallace Suzanne , Frost Jarvist , Walsh Aron
Published: November 2018

Kesterite-structured Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is an earth-abundant and non-toxic semiconductor that is being studied for use as the absorber layer in thin-film solar cells. Currently, the power-conversion efficiencies of this technology fall short of the requirements for commercialisation. Disorder in the Cu-Zn sub-lattice has been observed and is proposed as one explanation for the shortcomings of CZTS solar cells. Cation site disorder averaged over a macroscopic sample does not provide insights into the microscopic cation distribution that will interact with photogenerated electrons and holes. To provide atomistic insight into Cu-Zn disorder, we have developed a Monte Carlo (MC) model based on pairwise electrostatic interactions. Substitutional disorder amongst Cu and Zn ions in Cu-Zn (001) planes on the 2\textit{c} and 2\textit{d} Wyckoff sites -- 2D disorder -- has been proposed as the dominant form of Cu/Zn disorder in near-stoichiometric crystals. We use our model to study the Cu/Zn order-disorder transition in 2D but also allow Zn to substitute onto the Cu 2\textit{a} site -- 3D disorder -- including Cu-Sn (001) planes. We find that defects are less concentrated in Cu-Sn (001) planes but that Zn ions readily substitute onto the Cu 2\textit{a} site and that the critical temperature is lowered for 3D disorder.
Ab initio derived force fields for Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks: MOF-FF for ZIFs
Authors: Dürholt Johannes P. , Fraux Guillaume , Coudert François-Xavier , Schmid Rochus
Published: November 2018

In this paper we parameterized in a consistent way a new force field for a range of different zeolitic imidazolate framework systems (ZIF-8, ZIF-8(H), ZIF-8(Br) and ZIF- 8(Cl)), extending the MOF-FF parameterization methodology in two aspects. First, we implemented the possibility to use periodic reference data in order to prevent the difficulty of generating representative finite clusters. Second, a more efficient global optimizer based on the covariance matrix adaptation evolutionary strategy (CMA-ES) was employed during the parameterization process. We confirmed that CMA-ES, as a state-of-the-art black box optimizer for problems on continuous variables, is more suitable for force field optimization than the previous genetic algorithm. The obtained force field was then fully validated with respect to static and dynamic properties. Much effort was spent to ensure that the FF is able to describe the crucial linker swing effect in a large number of ZIF-8 derivatives. For this reason we compared our force field to ab initio molecular dynamic simulations and found an accuracy comparable to those obtained by different exchange–correlation functionals.
