Fetal-maternal gas transport and acid – base balance in preterm labors
Authors: Leush S.S. , Protsyk M.V. , Antoniuk M.I.
Published: October 2023

The use of cord blood gases to predict hypoxic stress during high-risk labor has been known since 1958. This diagnostic test is widely used, especially in specialized clinics, and blood indicators in the umbilical artery accurately reflect the condition of the newborn. However, there is a lack of specific diagnostic criteria for premature births.The objective: to study the ratio of indicators of gas exchange and acid-base status between the newborn and the mother depending on the gestational age at the time of delivery.Materials and methods. The levels of pH, pO2, pCO2, bicarbonate ion concentration (HCO3-) and base excess (BE) were analyzed both in mothers (maternal venous blood, v. cubitalis) and in their newborns (venous blood obtained from the umbilical artery).Study groups: I group – 16 postpartum women with newborns at 24–27 weeks of gestation, II group – 36 postpartum women with newborns at 28–34 weeks, III group (control group) – 24 postpartum women with newborns at term physiological delivery (37–41 weeks).Results. The study found no statistically significant differences in maternal venous and umbilical artery of pH, pO2, pCO2, HCO3- and BE levels between the term pregnancy group and the groups of preterm labor. However, extremely preterm neonates were found to have a marked increase in pH and BE in response to hyperventilation during labor.Conclusions. 1. Preterm infants had higher venous blood pH levels obtained from the umbilical artery, which were more pronounced in those who were born at earlier gestational ages (7.36±0.011 at 24–27 weeks gestation and 7.33±0.022 at a gestation period of 28–34 weeks), compared to full-term children (7.29±0.045; p<0.05).2. The difference in the pH levels of the venous blood of the newborn, obtained from the umbilical artery, and the mother’s blood, obtained from the v. cubitalis, is smaller in premature births (for a gestation period of 24–27 weeks – 7.39±0.018 in maternal blood and 7.36± 0.011 – in newborns; for the period of 28–34 weeks – 7.40±0.021 and 7.33±0.022, respectively) compared to the levels in full-term babies (7.43±0.015 – in maternal blood and 7.29±0.045 – in a newborn); p<0.05. This is primarily due to a decrease in the mother’s venous blood pH.

Authors: Chebotaryova Lidiia , Kovalenko Olha , Solonovych Anastasiia , Solonovych Oleksandr
Published: October 2023

The article presents the modern views on the problem of wartime trauma, in particular, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Global epidemiological data on the prevalence of the above-mentioned conditions both among military personnel and among the civilian population are demonstrated. As for Ukraine, it is currently quite difficult to accurately determine the prevalence of PTSD and TBI in wartime conditions, but certain data are already available in the Ukrainian literature. Today, it can be assumed that a significant part of cases remains undiagnosed, especially in the case of PTSD. The situation is complicated by difficulties in accessing medical care in the war zones and in the occupied territory.
The main pathogenetic mechanisms of the occurrence and relationship of PTSD and mild TBI were analyzed, in particular the development of oxidative stress, inflammatory response, neurotransmitter imbalance, activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system. Special attention is paid to the complex mechanisms of mine and explosive weapons impact on the human organism. The symptoms, criteria for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the above pathological conditions are highlighted with reference to unified protocols.
The main approaches to the management of such patients are considered, with an emphasis on a complex multidisciplinary approach with the involvement of related specialists, the necessity for constant dynamic monitoring by a family doctor. It is extremely important to involve the patient himself and his relatives in active participation in the treatment process in order to minimize the consequences of the trauma.
The Correlations Between Level of Zonulin, Leptin and Anthropometric Indicators in Patients with Metabolic-associated Fatty Liver Disease in Combination with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus
Authors: Didyk Olha , Chernyavskyi Volodymyr
Published: October 2023

The objective: to analyze the correlations between the level of zonulin, leptin and anthropometric parameters in patients with metabolically associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in combination with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).
Materials and methods. 42 patients with MAFLD and type 2 diabetes took part in the study, and were examined and divided into groups. The first group included 22 patients with MAFLD and type 2 DM without bacterial overgrowth syndrome (BOS), the second group included 20 patients with MAFLD in combination with 2D DM and BOS. 15 practically healthy persons were included in the control group.
During the physical examination of the patient, anthropometric indicators were measured, including height, body weight, body mass index (BMI) according to the Quetelet formula, waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) and the WC/HC ratio. The content of serum zonulin was determined by ELISA using test systems IDK Zonulin ELISA, KR5601 (Immunodiagnostic AG, Germany). An ELISA method was used to quantify serum leptin.
Results. It was found that zonulin concentration in blood serum was significantly increased in patients of the first and second groups – 67.79±2.12 ng/ml and 80.36±3.44 ng/ml, respectively. In patients of the control group the zonulin amount was 12.34±1.41 ng/ml (p<0.001). Quantitative research of the leptin level in blood serum revealed a significant increase in patients of the first and second groups – 25.09±0.35 ng/ml and 28.21±1.03 ng/ml, respectively. In patients of the control group the level of leptin was 4.69±0.37 ng/ml (p<0.001).
There was no significant difference in anthropometric parameters between the patients of the first and second groups (p>0.05). When comparing statistical indicators of anthropometry of patients of the first and second groups with the control group, significant differences were found in body weight, BMI, WC, HC, CTC (p<0.001), which indicates excess body weight and obesity in patients of the first and second groups.
Conclusions. The results of the study present that in patients with MAFLD in combination with type 2 DM without BOS and BOS, increased intestinal permeability and hyperleptinemia were found, and a direct correlation of medium strength was established between the level of zonulin and body weight, BMI, a weak correlation between the level of zonulin and WC, HC, CTC was determined and mean strength correlation between zonulin and leptin levels was found.

Hepatokines Orosomucoid: Pathogenetic Role in Liver Steatosis
Authors: Komarytsya Orest
Published: October 2023

The liver is an endocrine organ because hepatocytes produce a number of biologically active regulators of systemic metabolism and energy balance – hepatokines, which include orosomucoids (seromucoids). According literuture data, orosomucoids reduce the production of activated oxygen forms, protect adipose tissue, regulate immune processes, act as cardioprotectors, and drug carriers. Orosomucoids production is associated with the development of fatty hepatosis too but pathogrenetic role of orosomucoids in liver steatosis needs more investigations.
The objective: to evaluate the effects of orosomucoids on systemic metabolism in patients with coronary artery disease with comorbid liver steatosis.
Materials and methods. In 104 patients with coronary artery disease, unstable angina the content of orosomucoids was additionally determined by the unified orcin’s method (normal value 0,13–0,23 units). Patients were investigated according modern quidelines and Helsinki declaration of human rights. According liver steatosis presentce patients were divided into two statistically equal groups with comorbid liver steatosis (n=87; 83,65%) and intact liver (n=17; 16,35%). The results were calculated statistically with p<0.05 level.
Results. Patients with and without hepatic steatosis had identically elevated orosomucoids levels (0,38±0,02 vs 0,40±0,05 units; p>0.05), but their correlations were different. The level of orosomucoids correlated directly with the duration of inpatient treatment, heart rate, acute-phase indicators of inflammation, fasting blood glucose and prothrombin time, and was conversely associated with total cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins, prothrombin index (all p<0.05).
Conclusions. Orosomucoid hepatokines are key regulators of lipogenesis, under conditions of liver steatosis in patients with coronary artery disease, unstable angina, their growth correlates with activation of cellular and serum markers of inflammation, reduction of serum atherogenicity, glucose intolerance, and hypocoagulation.

The objective: to study the peculiarities of changes in the activity levels of the renal specific enzymes N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and β-galactosidase (β-Gal) as indicators of the functional state of the kidney parenchyma in the urine of patients with ureterolithiasis, depending on the mineral composition of the calculi and their localization in the ureter
Materials and methods. 81 patients were examined for unilateral ureterolithiasis (45 men, 36 women), the average age of the patients was 43.2±9.7 years. In the studied patients, the stone sizes were on average 1.1±0.38 cm. The activity of NAG and β-Gal was determined in the urine before the stone was removed.
All patients were divided into groups: 1st group – 33 patients with calcium oxalate stones, 2nd group – 18 persons with uric acid stones, 4th group – 12 patients with phosphate stones. The control group included 28 practically healthy people.
Depending on the location of the calculus, the patients were divided into subgroups: localization of stones in the upper third of the ureter – subgroup 1a (n=17), in the middle third – subgroup 2a (n=23), in the lower third of the ureter – subgroup 3a (n=41).
Urine for analysis was obtained during catheterization of the ureter from the side affected by the stone, before the use of medical agents and after physiological urination.
Results. The activity levels of NAG and β-Gal in the urine from the side affected by the calculus (renal pеlvis) in 81 patients were statistically significantly different from similar indicators in the urine from the bladder after physiological urination in the same patients (р<0.001–0.02). In the urine of patients with unilateral ureterolithiasis, there were no significant changes in the activity levels of NAG and β-Gal depending on the mineral composition of the calculi, with the exception of patients with phosphate urolithiasis. The intensity of activity levels (both NAG and β-Gal) in the urine of these patients was most high in the upper third of the ureter (group 1a), the less high – in the lower third of the ureter (group 3a), the difference was statistically significant (р<0.001–0.02).
Conclusions. The analysis of changes in the levels of urinary activity of NAG and β-Gal allows to objectively assess the functional state of the tubular nephrothelium in patients with ureterolithiasis before surgical intervention, and in the post-treatment period will help to monitor the effectiveness of treatment.

CD24 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: October 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that cluster of differentiation 24, encoded by CD24, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. CD24 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of CD24 in primary tumors was correlated with overall, distant metastasis-free and recurrence-free survival. Modulation of CD24 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that rhophilin Rho GTPase-binding protein 2, encoded by RHPN2, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. RHPN2 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of RHPN2 in primary tumors, however, was not correlated with patient survival outcomes. Modulation of RHPN2 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Published: October 2023

There has been a rise in the number of terrorist incidents in which social media use has been implicated in the planning and execution of the attack. Efforts to identify online risk signals of terrorist offending is challenging due to the existence of the specificity problem– that while many people express ideologically and hateful views, very few go on to commit terrorist acts. Here, we demonstrate that risk signals of terrorist offending can be identified in a sample of 119,473 online posts authored by 26 convicted right-wing extremists and 48 right-wing extremists who did not have convictions. Combining qualitative analysis with computational modelling, we show that it is not ideological or hateful content that indicates the risk of an offence, but rather content about violent action, operational planning, and logistics. Our findings have important implications for theories of mobilization and radicalization.
Preprocessing ESM data: a step-by-step framework, tutorial website, R package, and reporting templates

Published: October 2023

Experience Sampling Method (ESM) studies have become a very popular tool to gain insight into the dynamics of psychological processes. Whereas the statistical modeling of ESM data has been widely studied, the preprocessing steps that precede such modeling have received relatively limited attention, despite being a challenging phase. At the same time, adequate preprocessing of ESM data is crucial: it provides valuable information about the quality of the data and, importantly, helps to resolve issues in the data that may compromise the validity of statistical analyses. To support researchers in properly preprocessing ESM data, we have developed a step-by-step framework, a tutorial website that provides a gallery of R code, an R package, and templates to report the preprocessing steps. Particular attention is given to three different aspects in preprocessing: checking adherence to the study design (e.g., were the momentary questionnaires delivered according to the sampling scheme), examining participants’ response behaviors (e.g., compliance, careless responding), and describing and visualizing the data (e.g., examining distributions of variables).
Hoffman Hall JSP Considering between- and within-person relations in auto-regressive cross-lagged panel models for developmental data
Authors: Hoffman Lesa , Hall Garret
Published: October 2023

Forthcoming in Journal of School Psychology: Longitudinal data can provide inferences at both the between-person and within-person levels of analysis, but only to the extent that the statistical models chosen for data analysis are specified to adequately capture these distinct sources of association. The present work focuses on auto-regressive cross-lagged panel models, which have long been used to examine time-lagged reciprocal relations and mediation among multiple variables measured repeatedly over time. Unfortunately, many common implementations of these models fail to distinguish between-person associations among individual differences in the variables’ amounts and changes over time, and thus confound between-person and within-person relations either partially or entirely, leading to inaccurate results. Furthermore, in the increasingly complex model variants that continue to be developed, what is not easily appreciated is how substantial differences in interpretation can be created by what appear to be trivial differences in model specification. In the present work, we aimed to (a) help analysts become better acquainted with the some of the more common model variants that fall under this larger umbrella, and (b) explicate what characteristics of one’s data and research questions should be considered in selecting a model. Supplementary Materials include annotated model syntax and output using Mplus, lavaan in R, and sem in Stata to help translate these concepts into practice.
Ekokrytyczne i etyczne czytanie poezji w szkole podstawowej na przykładzie Piosenki o końcu świata Czesława Miłosza oraz Chwilę błyśniesz potem zgaśniesz Artura Rojka
Authors: Dryja-Zabielska Samanta
Published: October 2023

Addressing the challenges of the contemporary world, the climate crisis among them, Samanta Dryja-Zabielska presents her reflections on the function of assigned reading at school and on the role of the teacher in educating young generations. After analyzing the core curriculum and the texts of Polish educators, she goes on to recommend methodological pluralism in literary education. This idea consists in taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the ecocritical reading model in combination with the ethical and intertextual methods of reading literary texts. Dryja-Zabielska presents the main assumptions of these two methods and justifies her choice. A comparative analysis of poems by Czesław Miłosz and Artur Rojek enables her topoint out references to traditional literary and cultural motifs. In the final part of her article, the author emphasizes the role of the teacher, who needs to be open towards the Other: both the student and the literary text. The aim of this approach is not solely to make possible an intellectual and an emotional experience, but also to teach students how to be critical and responsible readers as well as creators of culture and the surrounding world.

The first part includes a statistical overview of all Slovenian translations of Polish works for children and young adults published in book form between 1912 and 2020. The overview provides information on the dynamics of translations, the most translated authors and works, and the most prominent translators. The second part focuses on the young adult bestseller W pustyni i w puszczy [In Desert and Wilderness] by Henryk Sienkiewicz, which is the most popular Polish work for young readers in Slovenia. The discussion of the Polish original is followed by a translatological analysis of the Slovenian editions and a presentation of their reception. Both parts of the article deal with a topic that has not been studied in detail so far and fill an important gap in the research on Slovenian-Polish contacts.
A Missed Opportunity? Making Sense of the Low Adoption Rate of COVID Alert, Canada’s Contact-Tracing Application
Authors: Dumouchel David , Dufresne Yannick , Nadeau Richard , Poirier William
Published: October 2023

Background: This study reflects on the low adoption rate of COVID Alert, the Canadian contact-tracing application, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Analysis: Using data from two representative surveys conducted in Canada in 2020, this article examines how the application’s attributes and citizens’ attitudes on the sanitary crisis and on technology may have influenced the low adoption rate of COVID Alert.

Conclusions and implications: The results suggest that the application design was socially acceptable, that it was seen as useful, and that it was not perceived as risky or hard to use. Contrasting this evidence with the unpopularity of COVID Alert leads to the suggestion that the barrier to greater uptake may have partly come from the inability of its developers to effectively promote the application.

The objective of this study was to analyze the need to strengthen the formation and development of labor production in prisons and colonies, through the development of new production capacities, including through new investments by entrepreneurs, for which a targeted state policy providing a certain tax regime for entrepreneurs wishing to cooperate with institutions of the penal system is a pre-requisite. The author comes to the conclusion that the organization of employment in places of deprivation of liberty should be carried out taking into account the requirements of a market economy, as well as taking into account the fact that the work of convicts who have been sentenced to imprisonment should contribute to the socialization of convicts into society, their correction and their preparation for release, by introducing convicts to work, that the creation of the conditions for ensuring the normal functioning of production facilities in prisons and colonies related to the work of convicts, and the establishment of a transport process for the delivery of products produced by them, will not be complete without the development of standard contracts for the carriage of goods, taking into account the peculiarities of the institutions of the penal system.
These conclusions suggest that the studies they are based on will allow interested persons to look at the problem of the execution of sentences in the form of imprisonment from a different perspective, taking into account the needs not only of the penal enforcement system, but also at a more global level provided for by the Concept of the Development of the Penal Enforcement System of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030. The main methodology of the author was the method of complex cognition, which allows to determine the value of the labor function of those sentenced to punishment.

The article studies the problem of functioning of the khan’s power in the Kazakh society in the second half of the XVIII century. At this time, the Russian border administration attempted to strengthen its influence onKazakh society, which was manifested in a policy aimed at transforming the procedure of electing and legitimizing Kazakh khans. The purpose of the article is to study the problem of election of Kazakh khans in the conditions of attempts of the Imperial administration to influence the process and procedure of election and approval of Kazakh rulers in the Khan’s dignity in the second half of the XVIII century. An important task is to show how these attempts were implemented and what results they led to. Another task is to show the procedure of election and approval of Kazakh khans and the innovations that appeared under the influence of the Russian authorities based on archival materials. The article uses materials from the Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Empire, Russian State Military Historical Archive, Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts, as well as published documents and materials. Since the middle of the XVIII century, the Orenburg administration made attempts to influence the election of Nurali Khan of the Small Horde, who became the first Kazakh ruler to be confirmed in the dignity of Khan by the Russian monarch. In the Middle Horde, the introduction of this innovation was delayed, which was primarily due to the position and real capabilities of the Sultan, and then Ablai Khan. Having established a noticeable control over the Kazakh clans of the Middle Horde while still a Sultan, he continued to strengthen his influence among the Kazakhs, which drew the attention of the Russian administration to him. In the late 1750s, he offered the title of Khan, with the condition of approval in this title in St. Petersburg, but this attempt was unsuccessful. The next attempt was made in the 1770s, when Ablai, who had been already elected Khan by the Kazakhs, asked to approve St. Petersburg in this dignity. Despite the obvious influence of the Russian Empire on the process of approval of Kazakh rulers by the khans, throughout the XVIII and even later, the Kazakhs retained many elements related to the procedure of election and proclamation of khans.
Postmodern nihilism of social totality
Authors:   Karaganda University of the name of academician E.A. Buketov, Zhussupova B.Zh.
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes the postmodern attacks on the classical and non-classical philosophers’ attitudes to social totality. Besides, the post-classical socio-philosophical discourse is caused by powerful civilizational movements, which conditioned the crisis of traditional systemicity, classical spiritual orientations, reductionist discovery of action in metaphysical activity. The picture of modern society is various, multifaceted, diverse, individualized by the streams of autonomous processes and human wills. The main attributes of heterogeneous space are differences and singularity, which eliminate the single foundations of social existence and constitute the heterological concept of the post-classical social paradigm, legitimizing the principle of indefinite socialization. We refer to postmodern theories as such theories. In the epoch of postmodernism, there was a situation of complete distrust of metanarrative constructions. In the current “postmodern state” J. Derrida proposed the idea of a total deconstruction of classical intentions, affirming the postmodern concept. The main markers of postmodernism are decentralization, anti-fundamentalism, the lack of a single pattern, the rejec- tion of metanarratives, as well as anti-melioration. They were prepared by the critical views of modernist philosophers toward classical philosophy (K. Marx, F. Nietzsche, Z. Freud), the sensational achievements in the field of natural science of the XIX and XX centuries, as well as the diversity of social practice in the twentieth century. The natural and social world has become different, requiring the latest cognitive thinking, a fundamentally new epistemology. As a result, postmodernism rejects the despotism of logocentrism, embedded in cosmic totality
Legal reality: due and existing in law (socio-philosophical analysis)

Published: October 2023

The article demonstrates the reflection problems in the law of due and existing as legal reality components. The justice concept as a legal category is revealed in the moral assessment context in law and legal regulation in the present and the future. The research purpose is to generalize scientific knowledge and theories that reveal the due and existing law as legal reality factors. By using general and special research methods, the analysis and generalization of scientific material are carried out, consideration of various approaches to understanding justice in law and identifying the role of justice in understanding what exists and should be in law. The article illustrates and considers different points of view and scientific positions of scientists-philosophers and theoreticians-jurists in the research field of the correlation problems of “due” and “existing” in the modern society law in the formation context of legal reality. The research result is the consideration of the due and existing in law as phenomena that determine legal reality as legal reality in combination with political reality and social justice, which acts as the main criterion that determines the essence and social law purpose. Justice is considered the main condition for the existence of modern society and the state. The problems of defining the basic legal justice principles as social justice part, designed to ensure the recognition of law and legal regulation as the main values of the modern legal society, are highlighted. Through legal justice, an understanding of the “proper” and “existing” in law is formed, which constitutes legal reality as a philosophical and legal phenomenon.

Lead halide perovskite CH3NH3PbClxI3-x thin films are widely used as photoactive layers in perovskite solar cells. CH3NH3PbClxI3-x is a low band gap semiconductor with a broad absorption spectrum and a high conductivity showing excellent compatibility with exciting hole and electron selective layers in terms of electronic energy alignment, which provide efficient charge generation, separation and transport in perovskite solar cells. In this paper, CH3NH3PbClxI3-x layers were deposited on the TiO2 surface by one step spin-coating technique from a methylammonium iodide (MAI) and lead chloride (PbCl2) solution. To prepare the perovskite solution, PbCl2 (Sigma-Aldrich) 230 mg of PbCl2 and 394 mg of MAI were dissolved in 1 ml of N, N-Dimethylformamide (Sigma-Aldrich) solvent. As expected, the elevation of the spin-coating rate resulted in CH3NH3PbClxI3-x thickness reduction, which should lead to a decrease in the R3 resistance in CH3NH3PbClxI3-x. However, the impedance spectroscopy revealed that with thickness reduction from 955 nm to 753 nm, the R3 resistance of CH3NH3PbClxI3-x declines from about 2590 Ώ to 2258 Ώ reaching the minimum value at 505 nm. The further decrease in CH3NH3PbClxI3-x thickness increased CH3NH3PbClxI3-x film resistance. The study of CH3NH3PbClxI3-x absorbance and luminescence spectra showed that the change in CH3NH3PbClxI3-x defect density occurred, which explains the decrease in CH3NH3PbClxI3-x resistance. According to the absorbance and luminescence spectroscopy study, the CH3NH3PbClxI3-x thickness reduction led to a decrease in the density of interstitial CH3NH3PbClxI3-x+ defects. CH3NH3PbClxI3-x+ species form deep levels trapping free electrons and as a result, increasing CH3NH3PbClxI3-x resistance. The PSCs based on a 505 nm thick CH3NH3PbClxI3-x layer showed the highest performance with the improved short current density and fill factor. The champion device had a power conversion efficiency of 9.92 %.

The paper analyzes the problems of the synthesis of new nanocrystalline chalcogenide materials for thermoelectric generators and sodium-ion batteries. The objectives of the synthesis will determine the best method to use to create chalcogenide materials for electrodes in real-world applications. The method of direct solid-phase reaction in a vacuum or in an environment of pure inert gas is the most effective way to generate novel chalcogenide materials in tiny amounts for the investigation of physicochemical and other features.With this approach, which is more dependable, it is feasible to produce a pure result free of contaminants that are inescapable when working with other solvents and precursors. Additionally, in a consistent synthesis regime, it is differentiated by the stability of the acquired attributes of the compounds. Synthesis modes, reagents, and post-processing depend on the specific material. The method of synthesizing alloys in a melt media made up of a combination of potassium and sodium hydroxides is one of the key techniques employed in the present research. The melting point drops to 165 °C at a certain ratio of the concentrations of these hydroxides, allowing for the execution of salt exchange processes in the melt. The size of the resultant chalcogenide particles can be reduced to a few nanometers by lowering the synthesis temperature, adding water, and shortening the annealing period.
