Published: September 2024

Introduction: Research has shown the importance of differentiating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) from subjective complaints of attention difficulties. In both cases, there is a clinical manifestation that differentially affects women and men. This study assessed the potential relationships among Behavioural and Emotional Symptoms, ADHD Diagnosis, Attentional Complaints, and Sex in Young Adults between 18 and 25 years of age. Method: Using a cross-sectional design, we examined the relationships across three groups (diagnosed with ADHD, attentional complaints, and controls) in a sample of 232 participants (Meanage = 20.38 years, SDage = 1.81 years; 52% women). We employed the Adult ADHD Self Report Scale and the Toulouse Pieron Test to classify participants among groups; for measures of behavioural/emotional symptoms using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 – Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF), through High-Order and Somatic/Cognitive Scales. Results: Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) revealed a significant relationship between group membership and the MMPI-2-RF variables after controlling for sex (p < 0.01). Post hoc tests indicated group differences across all variables except for Head Pain Complaints. Additionally, comparisons between men and women revealed significant differences in Behavioural and Emotional Dysfunction, and Gastro-Intestinal Complaints. Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of making a diagnosis that is not only based on a list of symptoms and signs but also takes into account differences in sex, emotional/behavioural alterations, and associated connections to increased rumination in young adults, which may influence self-assessment bias and contribute to overestimation or underestimation of ADHD symptomatology.
Rasionalitas dalam Ekonomi Islam (Asumsi-asumsi yang Berkembang)
Authors: Haris Gusnam
Published: September 2024

Salah satu pilar paradigma ekonomi konvensional adalah "rational economic man". Pilar ini dibangun dari filosofi yang berbeda dengan filosofi ekonomi Islam. Perbedaan filosofi ini membuat perilaku ekonomi manusia yang rasional dalam ekonomi Islam berbeda dengan perilaku ekonomi rasional dalam ekonomi konvensional. Dalam ekonomi Islam, membawa manusia bersama-sama saling menyayangi, bekerjasama, persaudaraan, dan altruisme (berjuang untuk orang lain yang kadangkala merugikan diri sendiri) adalah menjadi bagian dari perilaku ekonomi muslim yang dipandang rasional. Bukanlah perilaku bagaimana memenuhi kepentingan diri sendiri dengan cara memaksimalkan kekayan dan konsumsi lewat cara apapun, seperti ekonomi konvensional, yang dipandang manusia rasional. Rasionalitas dalam ekonomi Islam tersebut berkembang terus dan berangkat dari dasar utama agama ma itu sendiri yaitu "tauhid".
Praktik Pengolahan Lahan Pertanian Perspektif Hukum Islam
Authors: Hartina Lara
Published: September 2024

Sebagai makhluk sosial yang membutuhkan satu sama lainnya, maka manusia harus berinteraksi satu sama lainnya demi memenuhi kebutuhannya sehari-hari, yang dalam Islam sendiri dikenal dengan mu'amalat. Muamalat sebagai salah satu aspek kajian hukum Islam yang mengatur tentang hubungan manusia dengan sesamanya merupakan masalah serius yang dibicarakan dari dulu sampai sekarang.
Salah satu topik yang menjadi pokok kajian dalam muamalat (hukum bisnis Islam), khususnya yang berkenaan dengan transaksi ekonomi, adalah sewa menyewa atau yang dalam istilah muamalat sendiri dikenal dengan "ijarah". Secara lebih terperinci lagi dalam akad sewa menyewa ini diatur pula akad yang berkenaan dengan sewa menyewa lahan pertanian. Dalam mu'amalat akad semacam ini diistilahkan dengan muzâra'ah dan mukhabarah.

Semua bisnis pasti akan menghadapi persoalan, begitu juga yang terjadi pada BMT. Karena BMT terlanjur menggunakan sistem syariah, maka tantangannya semakin besar. Problematika BMT bisa dibagi menjadi dua yakni idiologis dan teknis. Problem idiologis lebih melihat BMT dari perspektif ide dasar dan landasan didirikannya sedangkan problem tetakelola/manajemen BMT.
Penerapan Prinsip At-Tārāḍī dalam Akad-akad Muamalat
Authors: Mughits Abdul
Published: September 2024

At-târâdi adalah salah satu prinsip dalam akad muamalat, artinya prinsip itu harus terwujud dalam akad. Suatu akad, jika tanpa adanya kerelaan dari kedua belah bahkan salah satu- pihak maka menjadi batal. Oleh karena itu, urgensinya prinsip ini menghendaki keterwujudannya dapat diketahui oleh semua pihak. Tetapi karena at-târâdî itu perbuatan hati, maka bagaimanakah cara menilai at-târâdî tersebut, hal-hal apa sajakah yang dapat mendukung terwujudnya dan rusaknya prinsip tersebut? Seberapakah luas cakupan keberlakuan prinsip ini dalam akad- akad muamalat, apakah hanya terbatas dalam akad tijarah saja sebagaimana disebutkan dalam Surat An-Nisa' ayat 29? Lalu apakah ungkapan kerelaan seseorang dalam melakukan akad terlarang dapat merubah status hukumnya yang asalnya haram menjadi halal, seperti orang berjudi atau utang piutang dengan riba? Pertanyaan-pertanyaan itu adalah content dari tulisan ini.
Analisis Profesi Pekerjaan Infortaiment dalam Perspektif Hukum Islam
Authors: Khalis Mujahid
Published: September 2024

Abstrak: Hingga dewasa ini, fenomena gibah terjadi dalam berbagai bentuk Salah satu bentuknya ialah program infotainment yang disajikan oleh stasiun televisi. Dalam infotainment terdapat unsur-unsur perbuatan gibah, sehingga menimbulkan tanggapan dari masyarakat luas, baik perorangan maupun kolektif. Pada pertengahan 2006, Nahdhatul Ulama (NU) pernah mengeluarkan fatwa perihal tersebut. Menurut fatwa NU, program infotainment gosip merupakan perbuatan gibah yang diharamkan oleh agama. Ketua Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) KH. Amidhan mengingatkan para pekerja infotainment agar harus hati-hati dalam menjalankan tugasnya. Soalnya, banyak keluhan masyarakat bahwa pekerja infotainment dalam menjalankan tugas kesehariannya lebih cenderung menggali-gali kesalahan orang dan menggangu hak privasi narasumber. Celakanya, kesalahan itu diungkap tanpa didasarkan pada fakta yang benar. Jika keluhan masyarakat itu benar, tugas para
pekerja infotainment itu masuk kategori gibah. Para pencari berita untuk infotainment tentu lebih mengarah pada kepentingan hiburan dan bisnis pertelevisian semata, seiring dengan maraknya tayangan-tayangan televisi yang memuat berita-berita tentang kehidupan seputar artis yang pada kenyataannya sering membuat para penonton dan sebagian besar masyarakat di negara Indonesia terus dihinggapi mimpi dengan siaran-siaran yang kurang mendidik. Sedangkan profesi kewartawanan adalah profesi mulia yang selalu berusaha mengungkapkan kebenaran berdasarkan hasil liputan peristiwa aktual berdasarkan fakta-fakta yang terjadi di lapangan. Dalam penelitian ini masalah yang ditemukan adalah apakah pekerjaan Infotainment dapat dipandang sebagai profesi dalam etika kerja Islam dan bagaimana pandangan Fiqih muamalat terhadap etika kerja infotainment. Maka penyusun mencarinya dengan etika kerja Islam dan melihat pekerjaan infotainment.
Berdasarkan hasil analisis etika kerja Islam terhadap data hasil penelitian, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa profesi pekerja infotainment adalah tidak sesuai dengan ketentuan etika kerja Islam karena di dalam al-Qur'an dan hadits tidak ada ketentuan mengenai pekerja infotainment yang selalu merugikan hak privasi orang lain dan pekerja infotainment selalu menggunjing seseorang yang tidak dibenarkan dalam etika kerja Islam dan kode etik jurnalistik sendiri.
Does Climate Change Transfer Poverty from Rural to Urban Areas? Implications for Regional Sub-Saharan Research Agenda
Authors:   Turfloop Graduate School of Leadership, University of Limpopo, South Africa, Madzivhandila Thanyani , Asha Aklilu ,   Department of Development Planning and Management, University of Limpopo, South Africa
Published: September 2024

There is growing recognition that climate change is a worldwide phenomenon with far-reaching effects and that it is linked to an increase in the frequency of extreme weather occurrences. In rural areas of most of the sub-Saharan countries and other developing countries in the world, the frequent occurrences of extreme weather events such as flooding, heat waves, and drought have significantly destroyed livelihood activities of poor communities. Unfavorable geographic characteristics, a lack of resources, and a higher reliance on climate-sensitive sources of income among many community members in poor nations all contribute to the impact. These include livelihood activities associated with land use and agricultural practices. Sadly, the population’s capacity and incentive to stay in rural areas have been altered because of climate change and its detrimental impacts on agricultural output, income, and subsistence living; as a result, many rural dwellers are migrating to urban areas. Rural populations migrate to urban areas in search of economic opportunities to earn a living. It is evident that the expected opportunities in urban areas are not always available; thus, most of the rural migrants are stuck in informal settlements, shanty towns, and slums without access to services. Consequently, it is evident that climate change is somehow transferring poverty from rural to urban areas. This study adopted the push/pull theory as a theoretical framework to guide the discussion and analysis. Based on an extensive review of the existing literature using qualitative document analysis, the purpose of this article is to examine the role of climate change on rural–urban migration, which ultimately contributes to the increase in urban poverty. The article concludes by reviewing the current (limited) research on climate change and poverty and argues for a research agenda in the context of sub-Saharan Africa toward sustainable ways to respond to the challenges of climate-induced migration, urbanization, and poverty.

Process of Economic Integration of Poland in Spatial Dimension, with Focus on Western and Northern Territories and the Traditionally Polish Territories (1945-1989)
Authors: Kociszewski Jerzy
Published: September 2024

Literature dealt with the problem of integration of Poland after the 1939-1945 war either rarely or transitorily, both as regards its essence and its various demonstrations. The reasons why it was so were manifold: The essence and scope of integration should be studied according to some methodologies, while there were many of its models and typologies available; integration is subject to constant verifications and redefinitions; moreover, its scope and aims have not been defined yet. The economic strategy of development accepted in the post-war Poland was closely connected with spatial integration. This integration became particularly im- portant in the process of merging the regained western and northern territories (further referred to as WNT) with the traditionally Polish territories (TTP), and it was much affected by political conditions. In subsequent stages of Poland's development, the approach to integration and its interpretation were closely dependent on the objectives set by the command-distributive system.
Osteopontin deletion attenuates cyst growth but exacerbates fibrosis in mice with cystic kidney disease

Published: September 2024

Osteopontin (OPN) is a multi‐functional glycoprotein that coordinates the innate immune response, prevents nanocrystal formation in renal tubule fluid, and is a biomarker for kidney injury. OPN expression is markedly increased in cystic epithelial cells of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) kidneys; however, its role in PKD progression remains unclear. We investigated the in vitro effects of recombinant OPN on the proliferation of tubular epithelial cells from PKD and normal human kidneys and in vivo effects of OPN deletion on kidney cyst formation, fibrosis, and mineral metabolism in pcy/pcy mice, a non‐orthologous model of autosomal‐dominant PKD. In vitro studies revealed that OPN enhanced the proliferation of PKD cells but had no effect on normal kidney cells. Deletion of OPN in pcy/pcy mice significantly reduced kidney cyst burden; however, this was accompanied by increased fibrosis and no change in kidney function. The loss of OPN had no effect on kidney macrophage numbers, cyst epithelial cell proliferation, or apoptosis. Furthermore, there was no difference in kidney mineral deposition or mineral metabolism parameters between pcy/pcy mice with and without OPN expression. Global deletion of OPN reduced kidney cyst burden, while paradoxically exacerbating kidney fibrosis in mice with cystic kidney disease.
The relationship between IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-6 cytokines, and severity of the condition with serum zinc and Fe in children infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae
Authors: Xu Yi , Fei Xiangyong
Published: September 2024

Objective

To explore the relationship between cytokines such as interferon γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and interleukin-6 (IL-6), as well as the severity of the condition, and serum zinc (Zn) and Fe levels in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.

Methods

A simple random sampling method was used to select 108 children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection admitted to the hospital from January to December 2022 as the study subjects. Collect demographic data such as gender, age, and course of disease from all patients, as well as inflammatory cytokines (InCs) such as IFN-γ, IL-10, and IL-6, the severity of the condition, and serum trace element information such as Zn, Fe, calcium (Ca), and potassium (K) from all patients. Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-6, severity of illness, and Zn, Fe, Ca, K in children infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to test the predictive efficacy of Zn, Fe, Ca, and K on the severity of the patient’s condition.

Results

This study included 108 children infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, of whom 6 had clinical data missing >10% and were all excluded. Finally, 102 complete clinical data were collected, with a data recovery efficiency of 94.44%. The differences in IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-6 levels, severity of the condition, as well as Zn, Fe, Ca, K levels among children of different ages, disease courses, body mass, and body temperature showed P < 0. 05. Spearman correlation analysis showed that the levels of IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-6, and severity of the condition in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection were negatively correlated with Zn, Fe, Ca, and K (ρ = −0.319 to −0.827, P < 0.05). The ROC curve analysis results indicate that Zn, Fe, Ca, and K can all be used as indicators to predict the severity of the patient’s condition (AUC = 0.710–0.759, P < 0.05).

Conclusion

There is a close relationship between InCs and the severity of the condition in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae and serum trace elements. Therefore, clinical attention should be paid to monitoring the serum trace element levels of children, and reasonable measures should be taken to regulate them to accelerate the progress of disease treatment.
Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue by Nd-doped titanium dioxide thin films
Authors: Guodong Liu , Mamat Mamatrishat , Xiaerding Fuerkaiti , Zhen Wang
Published: September 2024

In this work, Nd (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 at%)-doped TiO2 thin films were synthesized on Si (100) substrates using a sol–gel spin-coating technique. The formation of the anatase phase was demonstrated by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. It was also demonstrated that the doping of the Nd element resulted in a TiO2 crystal structure. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy proved that the doping of Nd element promoted the transfer of Ti4+ to Ti3+, which facilitates the photocatalytic performance of the TiO2 films. Scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope demonstrated that all of the Nd-doped film surfaces showed different degrees of aggregation relative to the pure TiO2 film surface. It was verified that the doping of Nd altered the lattice structure of TiO2 thin films, resulting in lattice defects on the surface and changing the grain size of the films. Meanwhile, the lattice defects and changes in the chemical state affect the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 films, and the highest photoactivity was observed for an Nd doping concentration of 1.0 at%. Nd doping causes lattice defects conducive to the formation of more Ti3+ oxidation centers and reduces the photogenerated electron–hole recombination rate, resulting in the improved photocatalytic performance of TiO2 films.

Published: September 2024

Twisted two-dimensional materials (t2DMs) such as graphene and black phosphorus are transforming the field of photonics, serving as a promising platform for the development of advanced devices that manipulate light. These materials possess multiple photonic properties that are determined by their twist angles. This article explores the profound impact of twist angles on various photonic phenomena, including nonlinear optical responses, optical absorption, plasmonics, and the influence of chirality in t2DMs. We delve into cutting-edge developments explained through Raman spectroscopy and the intriguing world of moiré excitons, as revealed through photoluminescence studies. As we explore device applications, we highlight groundbreaking advancements in photodetection, with a brief look into emerging technologies such as single-photon detectors, ultrafast modulators, light-emitting diodes, and interlayer exciton lasers. Our study extends to depict the promising future of t2DMs, emphasizing their prospective integration with other photonic systems and the discovery of novel optical phenomena in the domain of photonics. This review serves as a comprehensive guide to the dynamic field of photonics in t2DMs, highlighting current achievements and future prospects.
Progressive aspect across temporalities: variation between synthetic and analytic forms in L1 and L2 Spanish
Authors: Berríos Juan , Kanwit Matthew
Published: September 2024

Tense-mood-aspect mappings and the variable morphosyntactic structures that express them are a key aspect of language development. For instance, progressive aspect expression in Spanish might present a learnability problem because the language alternates synthetic and analytic forms to encode progressiveness (e.g., como vs. estoy comiendo ‘I am eating’). To date, however, acquisition studies have focused on present temporalities, rather than past or future contrasts. We examine the frequency of selection of these variants and the linguistic factors that significantly condition selection across course levels. For this purpose, four groups of college-level learners (N = 117) and one L1 Spanish group (N = 21) completed a 30-item written preference task. The dependent variable was form selection (synthetic, analytic, or that both were equally possible). The independent variables considered were the dynamicity of the predicate, the presence of a co-occurring adverb, temporality, and verb lexeme frequency. Results showed stable rates of selection across groups, with each selecting synthetic forms in over 50% of contexts. Within-group mixed-effects regression analyses revealed that lexical frequency and temporality, in addition to dynamicity, were relevant predictors of preference, as learners moved from making no distinction between forms to systematic patterns of selection as course level increased.
Comprehensive structural evaluation of the quaternary chalcogenide Ag2CdSnSe4
Authors: Profita Kevin D. , Heppke Eva M.
Published: September 2024

In this work, the synthesis of phase-pure Ag2CdSnSe4 by a mechanochemical approach and a subsequent annealing step in an evacuated ampoule is presented. A detailed analysis of the X-ray diffraction pattern of the product revealed the presence of weak reflections, that cannot be observed in the previously proposed crystal structure with space group Cmc21. Our structural investigation led to the assumption that Ag2CdSnSe4 crystallizes in the wurtzstannite-type structure with space group Pmn21 (a structure type derived from Cmc21). The aim of this contribution is to discuss the crystal structure of Ag2CdSnSe4 using Rietveld refinements in space group Cmc21 and its possible subgroups.
Effets du niveau de scolarité sur la survie des petites et moyennes entreprises féminines en République du Congo
Authors: Menga Mokombi Rolande Iphigénie
Published: September 2024

Le présent article a pour visée d’analyser les effets du niveau de scolarité sur la survie des petites et moyennes entreprises féminines en République du Congo. Réalisée à partir des données du Recensement général des très petites, petites et moyennes entreprises (RTPME) de 2017 et conformément au modèle de régression logistique (ou logit), l’analyse a permis d’obtenir au moins deux résultats. Premièrement, le diplôme le plus élevé obtenu par la promotrice améliore la survie des petites et moyennes entreprises féminines en République du Congo. Deuxièmement, l’âge de celle-ci au moment de la création et son accès au financement influencent significativement la survie des PME féminines. Ces résultats conduisent à la formulation de quelques recommandations de politiques économiques.
L'entrepreneuriat féminin en Tunisie : du désir d’indépendance aux obstacles sociaux – Le cas du gouvernorat de Mahdia
Authors: Zâag Imen , Bennasr Ali
Published: September 2024

En dépit des législations relativement favorables aux femmes tunisiennes, leur participation à l’entrepreneuriat reste faible. Ainsi, le taux d’activité des femmes ne dépasse pas 28,2 % de la population active, contre 65,8 % pour les hommes. De même, le taux de chômage des femmes est d’environ 24 %, tandis qu’il est de 15 % pour les hommes. Ce taux monte à 40,7 % pour les femmes diplômées du supérieur, contre seulement 17,6 % pour les hommes. De ce fait, il existe une disparité de genre en matière d’entrepreneuriat. Malgré l’amélioration de leur niveau d’instruction et de qualification, les femmes tunisiennes rencontrent d’énormes difficultés pour monter et développer leur propre projet entrepreneurial. À travers une enquête menée avec de futures promotrices et d’autres déjà installées dans la région de Mahdia (Sahel tunisien), nous allons approcher les difficultés éprouvées par les femmes pour la mise en place de leur projet. Nous nous proposons d’analyser les raisons de la disparité de genre, la faible part des entrepreneures femmes ainsi que les domaines ou types de projets dans lesquels elles se lancent. De même, nous allons étudier l’impact du territoire, rural et urbain, sur la part des projets féminins et, surtout, sur les types de projets développés dans la région de Mahdia.

Published: September 2024

Les inégalités sociales de santé (ISS) comportent de nombreux défis auxquels tentent de répondre les gouvernements et les acteurs de la société civile. Face aux situations complexes que vivent les populations qui les subissent, des interventions intersectorielles et territoriales constituent une avenue à explorer. Nous proposons un regard sur l’intervention de proximité en centre intégré de santé et services sociaux (CISSS) et en centre intégré universitaire de santé et services sociaux (CIUSSS) ainsi que sa contribution à la réduction des ISS par une pratique agissant sur les déterminants sociaux de la santé. Nous examinons quatre interventions de proximité au Québec pour saisir comment les intervenantes participent à l’identification de ces déterminants contribuant à la réduction des ISS et comment elles interviennent sur ces déterminants. La discussion soulève des enjeux de gouvernance du réseau de la santé et des services sociaux en lien avec le déséquilibre des pouvoirs et l’érosion des services publics en général.

Based on the first principles, we have shown that the decisive role in energy transfer from the fluorophore molecule to the carbon substrate (graphene) is played by the Förster-type inductive-resonance energy transfer mechanism. The Förster energy transfer rate can be calculated analytically via Fermi’s golden rule with the momentum-dependent initial final states of the graphene substrates and the HOMO (the highest occupied molecular orbital) and LUMO (the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) states of the dye molecule. Combining first-principle calculations characterizing the hybrid carbon nanomaterials with tight-binding-based consideration of graphene wave functions allows us to obtain an analytical expression for the Förster energy transfer rate. We constructed graphical dependences of the Förster energy transfer rate at the distance R between substrate (graphene) and dye molecule for several materials. The results obtained can be applied to various hybrids based on carbon nanostructures and in general to the description of energy transfer processes in molecular functionalized nanostructures, once the molecular dipole moment and the substrate - molecule separation are known.

The present research is devoted to the investigation of a nanosystem including gold nanoparticles in an aqueous solution of sodium sulfacetamide in order to determine the nature and efficiency of their interaction depending on the concentration and pH of the medium. Sodium sulfacetamide is of interest due to the possibility of its use in the composition of new hydrogel materials with incorporated gold nanoparticles for the development of ophthalmic implants. Gold nanoparticles with an average size of 20 nm, obtained by hydrothermal synthesis, were used. The study of the cytotoxicity of sodium sulfacetamide based on the integral index of the metabolic activity of MA-104 cells established concentrations that are the basis for explaining the possible toxic effect of materials impregnated with sodium sulfacetamide solutions. The concentration of 0.1 % sodium sulfacetamide solution after 24 hours of contact with cells and 0.05 % after 48 hours of contact should be considered as indifferent. The effectiveness of the interaction of sodium sulfacetamide and gold nanoparticles was evaluated by UV-Vis spectroscopy, electrokinetic measurements and scanning electron microscopy. Spectral studies of a suspension of gold nanoparticles in sodium sulfacetamide solutions in the range of therapeutic concentrations of 5.0÷30.0 % revealed a non-monotonic concentration-dependent effect of the sulfonamide medicine on the absorption intensity in the visible and ultraviolet ranges. The broadening of the spectral band of the surface plasmon resonance of gold nanoparticles in the presence of increasing concentrations of sulfacetamide and the appearance of an absorption band in the long-wave region were found. The peak shifts in the UV spectra after the addition of gold nanoparticles to sodium sulfacetamide were estimated. An increase in the negative value of the electrokinetic potential of gold nanoparticles under the influence of sulfacetamide from –26.2 mV to –41.4 mV was found. The data obtained indicate the existence of a chemical interaction between gold nanoparticles and sodium sulfacetamide solutions, which makes it possible to determine the conditions of their use in composite materials for biomedical purposes to reduce toxicity and leaching rate.

The aim of the work was to investigate the possibilities of obtaining activated carbon materials (AC) with controlled nanoporosity dependent on the raw materials used by involving an innovative method of its production and confirming the effect of reducing the density of the liquid under the action of the adsorption potential of the pore walls by means of modeling by the Boltzmann lattice method within the framework of a two-dimensional model. The results of the study showed that depending on the raw material used (chips of various hardwood species) and the method of its primary processing (involving an innovative method of its production, shear deformation, in particular), it is possible to obtain AB with a different ratio of micro- and mesopores, from almost completely microporous samples to samples with developed mesoporosity. It is shown that during carbonization, the organic matter that blocked the pores of the tubular structure is removed, forming open holes. Data infrared (IR) Fourier spectroscopy confirm that the formed surface of the micro-mesoporous sorbent must actively interact with polar and non-polar adsorbates with the help of surface functional groups, which corresponds to the results obtained in the work on the structural and sorption parameters of AB. The liquid density distribution along the pore axis of the mesoporous matrix was calculated by modeling using the Boltzmann lattice method, dependent on the initial wetting angle and capillary size. It is shown that in nanopores of small size (10 nm) the density of the liquid phase gradually decreases and at a certain depth of the pore its jump-like drop occurs, which reflects the presence of a phase transition to intense vaporization. So, the mechanism of purification of aqueous solutions from harmful impurities by nano-sized pores due to the effect of reducing the density of the liquid under the action of the adsorption potential of the pore walls has been confirmed. The micro-mesoporous AB obtained in the work can be used for the production of a wide range of matrix and composite materials with controlled nanoporosity. They are promising sorption materials, as they are characterized by lower diffusion complications during adsorption. And the effect of reducing the density of the liquid under the influence of the adsorption potential of the pore walls well explains the possible mechanism of cleaning contaminated aqueous liquids with the help of a mesoporous matrix.
Eco-theology: Reimagining the image of God in the context of creation and care in Africa
Authors: Hove Rabson
Published: September 2024

Africa and the rest of the world are at risk due to climate change and ecological crisis. The current severe cold fronts, flooding, and heatwaves sweeping across Africa, particularly Southern Africa, demonstrate that more is to come. The abnormal weather patterns know no seasons. The apparent results include starvation due to poor harvests and loss of homes, property, livestock, and lives due to disruptive rains and heat waves. The impact of climate change is visible in ecological damage. All this calls for a theological discourse that seeks to unpack some ways of caring for creation and the environment to mitigate against the challenges posed by climate change. The critical question is what theological tools the church could use to make meaningful contributions in responding to the challenges of climate change in Africa. Hence, the suggested theological engagements of the image of God about caring for creation. This paper seeks to explore the theology of the image of God, which provides theologians and the church with the basis to respect, protect, and care for the environment. It will discuss how understanding God's image helps the church implement practical ways of environmental care given the current dangers of climate change and ecological crisis in Africa. The paper contributes to the theological discourse of environmental care.
