Conceptual Metaphors in Visual Language The Graphic Novel City of Glass
Authors: Shiloh Ilana
Published: December 2023

The paper explores the use and impact of conceptual metaphors in the graphic novel City of Glass published by Paul Auster as a free-standing story in 1985. Two years later Auster turned it into the first part of The New York Trilogy, which has since become one of the most iconic works of postmodern fiction. Artists Paul Karasik and David Mazzucchelli have adapted Auster’s novella into a graphic novel and their version figures on the list of the best comic books in the 20th century. The aim of this paper is to examine how the two artists’ use of conceptual metaphors has elicited the visual dimension of Auster’s novel, conveyed its philosophical ideas and enriched its emotional effect.
Polska, Imperium Osmańskie i Wschód w pismach Michała Czajkowskiego: Dziwne życia Polaków i Polek oraz Moje wspomnienia o wojnie 1854
Authors: Sadowski Adrian
Published: December 2023

Artykuł dotyczy wspomnień i listów Michała Czajkowskiego, jednego z głównych przedstawicieli Polonii w Imperium Osmańskim oraz autora ciekawych, syntetycznych koncepcji historiozoficznych. Mój artykuł skupia się na problematyce palimpsestowej tożsamości Czajkowskiego (polskiej, kozackiej, tureckiej oraz wschodniej w ogólności) oraz na doktrynie walki o niepodległość, która wyłania się z pism tego emigranta. W artykule poruszone zostają też kwestie mitologizacji historii, rola relacji polsko-tureckich w okresie wojny krymskiej oraz specyfika polskiej odmiany romantycznego orientalizmu. Jest to w końcu próba wstępnego rozpoznania polskiej historiozofii związanej z sąsiedztwem oraz politycznym zbliżeniem z Imperium Osmańskim, która jest ciekawym i wartym dalszych analiz rozdziałem polskiej myśli doby romantyzmu.
Ciało i choroba oraz niepełna sprawność
Authors: Kowal Katarzyna , Skrzypek Michał
Published: December 2023

Rozdział oferuje spojrzenie z perspektywy socjologicznej na przewlekłe chorowanie i niepełną sprawność zwraca uwagę na pracę tożsamościowo twórczą, będącą konsekwencją naruszenia cielesnego tworzywa osobowej tożsamości. M. Merleau – Ponty inicjuje namysł nad tą problematyką, opisując fenomen odczuwania nieistniejącej kończyny (zespół urojonej kończyny). D. Leder zwraca uwagę, że dysfunkcja ciała powoduje jego wchodzenie do strumienia świadomości; staje się ono fenomenem odczuwanym, wychodzi z „korporalnego” tła. Włączenie biologicznego wymiaru cielesności do badań socjomedycznych postulują S. Timmermans i S. Haas, którzy proponują budowanie socjologii poszczególnych chorób przewlekłych, zdefiniowanych w oparciu o kryteria kliniczne. Całościowy obraz tożsamościowych skutków przewlekłego chorowania i niepełnej sprawności otrzymujemy w dorobku K. Charmaz. Refleksja A. Straussa i współpracowników wnosi z kolei dowartościowanie interakcyjnego wymiaru cielesności: ciało jest niezbywalnym warunkiem działań i interakcji. Omawiane koncepcje wyłaniają się z badań jakościowych, prowadzonych w grupach osób chorujących przewlekle. K. Charmaz dowodzi, że osoby te relacjonują swoje cierpienie „językiem straty”, która dotyczy tych aspektów , które uległy zmianie wskutek zmian ciała. K. Yoshida daje deskrypcję pracy nad osobową tożsamością, wykonywanej przez osoby po urazie rdzenia kręgowego. M. Kelly w badaniach osób po panproktokolektomii udokumentował cielesne zakotwiczenie społecznych interakcji. Socjologiczne analizy tożsamościowych dylematów, inicjowanych przez zmiany ciała, dopełniają spojrzenie na chorowanie i niepełną sprawność z perspektywy biomedycznej o wiedzę na temat procesów zachodzących w psychospołecznej sferze jednostek.

Authors: Krajewska Malwina
Published: December 2023

Rozdział poświęcony jest relacjom i zależnościom zachodzącym pomiędzy ciałem ludzkim a rozmaitymi formami życia religijnego. Omawia je uwzględniając aspekty normatywne, teoretyczne jak i praktyczne. Podejmowane w nim zagadnienia początkowo odwołują się do perspektywy historycznej, w której punkt wyjścia stanowią sprzeczne ze sobą średniowieczne i renesansowe sposoby postrzegania cielesności w chrześcijańskiej Europie. Kolejne przywołane narracje dotyczą recepcji ludzkiego ciała w światowych religiach. Przywoływany jest islam, w którym powszechne jest podejście propagujące troskę i dbałość o ciało. Hinduizm, w którym ciało jest domem dla duszy będącym jedynie tymczasową manifestacją uwikłaną w cykl odrodzeń. Oraz buddyzm, dla którego ciało jest narzędziem do wyzwolenia z kręgu cierpienia i osiągnięcia stanu nieuwarunkowanego szczęścia – oświecenia. Rozdział poświęcony jest również metodom i technikom posługiwania się ciałem praktykowanym w różnych światowych religiach. Omawiane są reżimy cielesne, które mają okiełznać ludzkie popędy, ułatwić utrzymanie porządku społecznego oraz wesprzeć produktywność. Oprócz sposobów interpretacji ludzkiej cielesności oraz metod posługiwania się nim, w rozdziale poświęcono również wiele uwagi jego roli pełnionej w obrzędach i rytuałach. Poruszono istotny, wieloaspektowy wymiar symboliczny odwołujący się do ciał osób świeckich i świętych oraz osób zmarłych i relikwii. Oprócz rozlicznych przykładów interpretacji, kształtowania, oraz angażowania w praktyki religijne, czytelnik odnajdzie również wiele przykładów teoretycznych narracji autorstwa klasycznych i współczesnych socjologów i antropologów.
Response of Transplanted Rice to Seedling Root-dip in Phosphorus and Biofertilizer Slurry in Acid Soils of North East India- A Participatory Assessment in Farmers’ Field

Published: December 2023

Background: Rice production is mainly constrained by low P-use efficiency (PUE) and P-recovery efficiency (PRE) in acid soils of the North East hill region of India. Efficient P fertilizer management strategies for rice production is very essential to achieve higher yield per unit of P fertilizer applied. Rhizosphere-based P management in wetland rice is considered as an efficient strategy to minimize the quantity of applied P to obtain a profitable yield. Methods: Seedling root dipping in P slurry technique in farmers’ field condition was studied in comparison to the conventional methods of application of recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) and the integrated nutrient management (INM) practices to identify a suitable cost effective method of application of phosphatic fertilizer for the acid soils of this hill region of North East India. Result: The highest plant height, maximum number of effective tillers and root biomass were recorded in SSP root dip+Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) followed by INM practices. P root dip had greater root biomass (4.36 g plant-1) which was significantly higher than RDF (3.82 g plant-1). Root dip application showed higher yields (5.80 t ha-1), compared with INM (5.53 t ha-1) and RDF (5.46 t ha-1) and control (4.25 t ha-1). The result of the present study demonstrated that P-dipping can achieve high applied P use efficiency (1193.42) in transplanted rice compared to conventional incorporation of P (625.43). Thus, P-dipping is a potential strategy to overcome low applied P use efficiency in high P-fixing soils and hence reduces the need for excess P application.

Efectividad antimicrobiana de los sistemas adhesivos. Una alternativa eficaz: revisión bibliográfica
Authors: Encarnación Wilson , De la Cruz Diana , Herencia Sonia , Velásquez Zulema
Published: December 2023

Los sistemas adhesivos se utilizan en la práctica clínica diaria; sin embargo, su principal desventaja es la contracción por polimerización que podría ocasionar la aparición de microfiltraciones, acumulo de placa, caries secundaria e hipersensibilidad. Por este motivo, se han venido incorporando agentes antimicrobianos, como el metacrilato de amonio cuaternario fotopolimerizable, los rellenos de vidrio que liberan iones de flúor, el pirogalol y las nanopartículas de plata, calcio y grafeno fluorado. En los últimos años, algunos de estos han demostrado tener una buena efectividad antimicrobiana, que, a su vez, no interfieren con la adhesión en las restauraciones. De tal manera, estos sistemas adhesivos antimicrobianos podrían favorecer a obtener mejores resultados a largo plazo. Las nanopartículas que presentaron mejores resultados fueron el fosfato de calcio amorfo y las compuestas de plata.

Indonesia was the third most recent case of leprosy globally in 2020 with 11,173 people, after India and Brazil. Most of the leprosy manifestations are asymptomatic. This is possibly as subclinical leprosy which individuals without leprosy symptoms but have leprosy specific antibodies high levels, so it has the potential to become a transmission and disability. Therefore, an ELISA test need for early detection in preventing leprosy transmission. This study aims to measure IgM and IgG antibody levels in leprosy patients and assess the accuracy of the measurement results. This research is a cross-sectional study. Five patients' blood samples have analyzed for IgM and IgG anti-PGL-1 antibody levels by ELISA. Accuracy interpretation of this measurement based on the %CV. Antibody levels were classified based on the cut-off <605 u/ml as IgM seronegative or <630 u/ml as IgG seronegative, 605–1000 u/ml as low seropositive IgM or 630-1000 u/ml as low seropositive IgG, and >1000 u/ml as high seropositive IgM and IgG. Among five patients examined, 40% had high seropositive leprosy with anti-PGL-1 IgM and IgG antibody titers>1000 u/ml, and 60% of patients had seronegative leprosy. Accuracy in this ELISA test shows high accuracy with %CV <10% in the conversion of OD to antibody titer levels.  IgM and IgG Anti PGL-1 antibody titers by ELISA as one of the parameters in identifying patients at higher risk of leprosy. A significant portion of patients with high seropositive leprosy with high accuracy.

Published: December 2023

Aim: To determine the differences in improvement in cardiac function by intramyocardial (IM) vs. intravenous (IV) injection of human bone mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (HBMSC-EV) after acute MI.

Methods: FVB mice underwent acute MI via left anterior descending coronary artery ligation and subsequent injection of: (1) IM saline control; (2) IM HBMSC-EV; (3) IV saline control; and (4) IV HBMSC-EV. Cardiac function was evaluated with weekly postoperative echocardiography. On postoperative day 28, the mice were euthanized, and the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys were harvested. Given previous studies showing HBMSC-EV hepatic uptake after IV injection, the liver was evaluated for changes in inflammation, fibrosis, and proliferation.

Results: On postoperative day 28, there were no significant differences in left ventricular ejection fraction (P = 0.6151), fractional shortening (P = 0.1135), or anterior border zone fibrosis (P = 0.6333) in any of the experimental groups. Interestingly, there was a strong trend demonstrating improvement in infarct size on fibrosis staining, which did not reach significance (P = 0.05620). There were no differences in hepatic inflammation, fibrosis, and proliferation.

Conclusions: Although there was a trend in the improvement in infarct size, a single-dose administration of neither IM nor IV injection of HBMSC-EV resulted in significant improvement in post-MI cardiac function. A major limitation of this study is the lack of trials determining the optimal dose of HBMSC-EV needed in this model. However, the current study demonstrates that future studies are required to either optimize administration or bioengineer HBMSC-EV with cardiac-homing properties.

Solar PV- and PEM electrolyzer-based green hydrogen production cost for a selected location in Bangladesh
Authors: Mazumder Gour Chand , Hasan Sakibul , Rahman Zishan Md. Saniat , Rahman Md. Habibur
Published: December 2023

Hydrogen is considered to be the environmentally safest energy source. Green hydrogen has no carbon footprint as it is produced from renewable energy sources. The barrier is the high production cost of hydrogen for all through usage of it. The use of solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity for polymer electrolytic membrane-based electrolysis may lower the production costs. Estimation of hydrogen production cost is performed using the life cycle cost (LCC) method. The PV electricity cost was calculated using the HOMER Energy Software. Lifetime of the project is 25 years with a 7.48% discount rate. The electricity cost is about Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) 39.91/kWh from solar PV. The system consumes 6,011 kWh of electricity and produces 42.44 kg of hydrogen per year. The LCC result shows that the hydrogen production cost is about BDT 230.90/g. Bangladesh might consider giving emphasis for green hydrogen production and help establish a green hydrogen economy.
FEATURES OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF MARTIAL LAW IN UKRAINE
Authors: Bilovska Olha , Maistro Ruslana
Published: December 2023

The article examines the current state, needs and main trends of the development of the Ukrainian business sector during the full-scale Russian military aggression against Ukraine. It was determined that the current economic situation is extremely difficult, because a significant number of entrepreneurs suspended their activities at the beginning of the war, and most of them, almost a year after the introduction of martial law in the country, have not yet fully resumed work. It has been clarified what problems and contradictions Ukrainian entrepreneurs face since the beginning of the russian military aggression against Ukraine in the conditions when the war forced many entrepreneurs to make quick and difficult decisions regarding the functioning of their own business, namely: outflow (loss) of personnel; a significant change in the structure of supply and demand (production); loss of supply and sales markets; destruction of economic structuring due to disruption of chains of added value creation and logistical problems. The importance and necessity of state support of entrepreneurial activity in the conditions of war in the country is emphasized, as a necessary source of income for budgets of all levels and an important component of countering the aggressor and achieving victory. The peculiarities of state support for entrepreneurial activity in the conditions of the introduced martial law in Ukraine are characterized. The directions of state regulation of business activity in the conditions of the introduced martial law in Ukraine are proposed. Features of entrepreneurial activity and prospects for its development in short-term and medium-term dynamics are determined. It has been proven that the deregulation of business activity will contribute to ensuring the necessary level of economic security of our country in the conditions of martial law and will bring closer the victory of Ukraine in the war with the aggressor.
STUDY OF EXISTING APPROACHES TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT IN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES
Authors: Maslak Mariya
Published: December 2023

The article examines the issue of intellectual property management based on the use of systemic, innovative, informational and reproductive, process and functional approaches. The specific features of each methodical approach to management are defined, the interrelationship of the proposed approaches to management is highlighted, and the development strategy of modern enterprises based on the effective use of the results of innovative activity and intellectual property is indicated. It has been proven that the process approach to the management of intellectual property at an industrial enterprise is the most widely used at this time, which is manifested through the interrelationship and interdependence of management functions in the execution of business processes. It was determined that the effectiveness of the functional approach to intellectual property management, in our opinion, will depend on proper interaction with the management and employees of the enterprise. Therefore, already at the stage of creating a functional division for intellectual property management, it is necessary to convince the top management of the enterprise that it should grant certain powers to such a functional structure. The system-informational approach to intellectual property management focuses attention on the importance of information throughout the reproduction cycle, which implies the need for informational relationships between the elements of the IP management system, which provide conditions for a continuous reproduction process. An innovative approach to management consists in intensifying the innovative activity of an industrial enterprise through the use of intellectual property objects, which, as a result of their introduction into economic circulation at one's enterprise or at other enterprises (on a licensing basis), will allow the enterprise to provide competitive advantages in its target market and sustainable development based on its intellectual and innovative development in market conditions. The concept of a strategic approach to IP management includes plans and directions of production actions, the sequence of decisions and methods that allow to evaluate, analyze and develop an effective system for the field of intellectual property in order to effectively implement the company's strategy. A detailed analysis of the organizational and economic approaches to the management of IP at an industrial enterprise allows us to draw a conclusion about the greatest effectiveness of such intellectual property management methods as system and process, which provide the enterprise with special efficiency with proper marketing support.

Authors: Garza Maryam Y. , Williams Tremaine , Ounpraseuth Songthip , Hu Zhuopei , Lee Jeannette , Snowden Jessica , Walden Anita C. , Simon Alan E. , Devlin Lori A. , Young Leslie W. , Zozus Meredith N.
Published: December 2023

Background: In clinical research, prevention of systematic and random errors of data collected is paramount to ensuring reproducibility of trial results and the safety and efficacy of the resulting interventions. Over the last 40 years, empirical assessments of data accuracy in clinical research have been reported in the literature. Although there have been reports of data error and discrepancy rates in clinical studies, there has been little systematic synthesis of these results. Further, although notable exceptions exist, little evidence exists regarding the relative accuracy of different data processing methods. We aim to address this gap by evaluating error rates for 4 data processing methods.
Methods:A systematic review of the literature identified through PubMed was performed to identify studies that evaluated the quality of data obtained through data processing methods typically used in clinical trials: medical record abstraction (MRA), optical scanning, single-data entry, and double-data entry. Quantitative information on data accuracy was abstracted from the manuscripts and pooled. Meta-analysis of single proportions based on the Freeman-Tukey transformation method and the generalized linear mixed model approach were used to derive an overall estimate of error rates across data processing methods used in each study for comparison.
Results: A total of 93 papers (published from 1978 to 2008) meeting our inclusion criteria were categorized according to their data processing methods. The accuracy associated with data processing methods varied widely, with error rates ranging from 2 errors per 10,000 fields to 2,784 errors per 10,000 fields. MRA was associated with both high and highly variable error rates, having a pooled error rate of 6.57% (95% CI: 5.51, 7.72). In comparison, the pooled error rates for optical scanning, single-data entry, and double-data entry methods were 0.74% (0.21, 1.60), 0.29% (0.24, 0.35) and 0.14% (0.08, 0.20), respectively.
Conclusions: Data processing and cleaning methods may explain a significant amount of the variability in data accuracy. MRA error rates, for example, were high enough to impact decisions made using the data and could necessitate increases in sample sizes to preserve statistical power. Thus, the choice of data processing methods can likely impact process capability and, ultimately, the validity of trial results.
The Behavior of Wear and Corrosion Resistance of thin-film coated Titanium alloy substrate
Authors: Joshi Anoop , C Anush , K Chandrappa
Published: December 2023

Thin-film barrier coating on titanium alloy substrate features a vast range of applications among which aeronautic and marine applications are significant. Talking about 2 very different aspects, whose requirements and application are way apart. Titanium has always been beneficial in both these products applications. The introduction of titanium in aerospace and marine locomotive parts will have significant importance on parameters like pressure withstanding capacity and corrosion resistance. Our immense perseverance is to satisfy the above intent by giving a thin coating on Titanium alloy substrate. We prepared 4 sample specimens of OT-41 alloy and the following materials were coated on them via PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) process: TiN, AlcroNa pro, DLC (diamond-like-carbo), and WCC (Tungsten carbide carbon coating) coated for about 2 to 4 microns over the substrate titanium alloy. TiN and AlCrONa coating were done using the arc spray method and WCC and DLC coating was done using the sputtering process.
Coated samples are then subjected to corrosion resistance test using neutral salt spray method and wear resistance or abrasion resistance test using pin on disc method. Corrosion’s resistance results mainly depend on the uniformity of coating and wear resistance on the bonding of coated material over a base metal. Any fissure or notches on the coated surface material will result in early red rust detection in turn leading to failure of corrosion resistance and wear resistance is dependent on two major factors: coated material property and its bonding with the base metal. Having lower bonding with base metal makes it easy to erode which fails to wear resistance. Knowing the fact that titanium by nature is a nonreactive metal, it is difficult to coat any material over titanium or its alloys but the above-mentioned coatings were found to have a good bonding with titanium. Further in this research, we will be concentrating on the methodology and results of mentioned tests.

Responses of ecosystem services and their trade-offs and synergies to spatiotemporal differentiation of urbanization: Evidence from the Su-Xi-Chang region, China
Authors: Fu Qi
Published: December 2023

Assessing the impact of urbanization on ecosystem services is an important part of improving understanding of the harmonious coexistence between people and nature. Despite recent progress, it remains challenging for influence mechanism of different urbanization stages and areas on ecosystem services and their trade-offs and synergies. Here, we analyzed the responses of four ecosystem services (crop production, water retention, heat mitigation, flood mitigation) and their trade-offs and synergies to the spatial and temporal differentiation of urbanization in the Su-Xi-Chang region of China from 1990 to 2020. The results showed that the relationship between ecosystem services and urbanization was "U"-shaped curve. In terms of space and time, the greatest loss of ecosystem services occurred in developing urban areas and during the rapidly urbanizing stage. Also, urbanization weakened trade-offs and enhanced lose-lose situations, showing an "S"-shaped curve. Based on the results, some suggestions are proposed aimed at promoting sustainable urban development.

Published: December 2023

Cotyledon color can serve as a convenient and efficient morphological marker in F1 hybrid seeds screening, however, few studies on mutants affecting the color of cotyledon have been reported. A genetic population was generated by crossing 21C1344 with purple cotyledon and 21C912 with green cotyledon and the localization of CaMYB113 on chromosome 10 was determined. The results of virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) demonstrated a substantial decrease in anthocyanin accumulation in cotyledons upon silencing of CaMYB113. The overexpression of the CaMYB113 gene not only resulted in purple pigmentation in both callus and leaves, but also changed the expression levels of downstream genes involved in anthocyanin synthesis. CaMYB113 could bind to crucial genes related to anthocyanin biosynthesis demonstrated by the yeast one-hybrid assay, thereby regulating anthocyanin production and accumulation in capsicum cotyledons. The gene we identified could be converted into a reliable selection marker for achieving stable genetic transformation, while also providing valuable insights for maintaining purity in pepper hybrid seeds.

The critical task of overseeing and validating the storage and confinement of carbon dioxide (CO2) in geological formations or designated repositories, particularly within the framework of carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiatives, involves the meticulous process of CO2 sequestration monitoring. In this study, a seismic inversion method incorporating linear programming sparse spike inversion (LPSSI) was employed to observe and analyze the CO2 plume in the Sleipner field, Norway. The foundational dataset includes 3D post-stack seismic data from the year 1994, with special emphasis on the monitoring data collected in 1999, following four years of CO2 sequestration. The initial stage involved the equalization of data to guarantee the consistency of seismic traces, particularly beyond the reservoir zone. This was crucial, considering the primary focus on detecting changes in reservoir properties over time. The analysis utilized synthetic data to investigate alterations in seismic amplitude, highlighting that amplitude variations were more prominent compared to variations in velocity and density. Through the cross-equalization process, it was observed that the initial data repeatability was low, indicated by a normalized root mean square (NRMS) value of 0.6508. However, significant improvement was achieved, bringing the NRMS value to a more satisfactory level of 0.5581. This improvement underscored the alignment of features both above and below the reservoir, underscoring the efficacy of the cross-equalization technique. The outcomes of the 4D inversion provided insights into the distribution of CO2 within the reservoir, revealing upward migration. Importantly, the results confirmed the secure storage of CO2 within the reservoir, affirming the integrity of the overlying cap layer. The study offers valuable contributions to understanding reservoir dynamics during production, thereby enhancing our capacity to optimize CO2 storage and implement safe reservoir management practices.
The Mechanism of Self-Efficacy on English Learning Motivation of College Students -- Mediation of Cognitive Load
Authors: Zhang Hui
Published: December 2023

This research constructs a model for the mechanism of self-efficacy's influence on English learning motivation among college students, and explores the mediating role of cognitive load in English learning. Using structural equation modeling, the research sampled college students from XX University and XX Vocational College to validate the research model. The results indicate that self-efficacy has a significant impact on deep-level motivation and achievement motivation in college students' English learning; cognitive load in college students' English learning has a significant effect on surface-level motivation, but has no significant effect on deep-level motivation and achievement motivation; cognitive load only has partial mediating effects between self-efficacy and surface-level motivation in college students' English learning.

To reduce watershed eutrophication, measurements of bioavailable phosphorus (BAP) rather than total phosphorus (TP) are deemed critical. However, standard methods for direct and routine BAP measurement in river water have not been widely investigated. Therefore, in this study, a simultaneous multisample ultrasonic extraction method is proposed to measure total BAP (TBAP) in river water. Spike-and-recovery assessments showed that at least three repeated extractions are required to maintain accuracy. Results showed that sample P concentrations obtained using a 2-min extraction time and three extractions were consistent with theoretical values. Furthermore, the TBAP extraction results from custom samples containing different P sediment concentrations obtained under these conditions showed no significant differences between experimental and theoretical concentrations. Additionally, river water TBAP was quantified using the conventional and proposed method to examine the practicality of using the proposed method for simultaneous multisample ultrasonic extraction and to evaluate its adaptability to actual river water analysis. The extracted concentrations matched those obtained using the conventional method, in which total BAP is calculated as the sum of dissolved BAP and particulate BAP; no significant difference was observed between the concentrations. Ultrasonic extraction was considerably less time-consuming than the conventional method because more samples could be analyzed during a single run. Therefore, the simultaneous multisample ultrasonic extraction method proposed in this study can be used to directly quantify total BAP in river water.

Published: December 2023

Although thermal and mechanochemical activations of natural clays are well-documented, there exists a dual research gap. Firstly, a thorough investigation into the interrelationship between these activation methods and the governing parameters of reactivity for various clays has been notably lacking. Secondly, there is a distinct scarcity of studies specifically focusing on heterogeneous clays compared to the extensive research dedicated to single-layer clays specially kaolinitic clays. This study investigates the correlation of activation methods, and changes in the clay mineralogy, particle size distributions, morphology, specific surface area, and the reactivity of heterogeneous clays. Traditional thermal and mechanochemical activation methods often fall short in achieving complete dehydroxylation of heterogeneous clay minerals and improving their reactivity beyond predefined low thresholds. The results in this paper emphasize that, despite these limitations, combining these activation methods brings about significant modifications in crucial parameters. Notably, integrating 20 minutes of mechanochemical activation at 500 rpm with prior thermal treatment leads to 158% increase in specific surface area compared to mechanochemical activation conducted on un-calcined clays. Simultaneously, these combined activations result in up to 127% improvement in reactivity levels of heterogenous clays compared to standalone mechanochemical activation. The results underscore that, even with the advancements brought about by combined activations, the presence of impurities like iron oxides and calcite remains a noteworthy factor influencing the reactivity of kaolinitic natural clays. The study concludes by highlighting the potential of combined treatments to enhance the pozzolanicity of low-reactive heterogeneous clays, unlocking avenues for future clinker supplementation with this abundant resource.

Background
Several recent global events may have impacted adolescent sleep and exacerbated pre-existing disparities by social positions. Current understanding of sleep among adolescents is critical to inform interventions for a more equitable future, given the short and long-term consequences of inadequate sleep on health and well-being This study aimed to provide contemporary evidence on sleep disparities by key social positions among adolescents in Canada.
Methods
Cross-sectional analyses were conducted using self-reported data collected during 2020–2021 (the first full school year after the COVID-19 pandemic onset) from 52,138 students (mean age = 15.0) attending 133 Canadian secondary schools. Multiple regression models were used to test whether sleep quality (how well students slept during past week), duration (weekday, weekend, weighted daily average), and guideline adherence (8–10 h/day) differed by sex/gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status (SES).
Results
Females reported a mean [95% CI] difference of -1.7 [-3.7, 0.4] min/day less sleep on weekdays than males, but 7.1 [4.5, 9.6] min/day more sleep on weekends, resulting in no difference in average daily sleep between males and females. Females were less likely to report good quality sleep compared to males (AOR = 0.57 [0.54, 0.60]). SES followed a generally monotonic trend where higher scores were associated with more sleep on weekdays (Δhighest:lowest = -28.6 [-39.5, -17.6]) and weekends (Δhighest:lowest = -17.5 [-3.8, -31.2]) and greater likelihood of higher sleep quality (AORhighest:lowest = 3.04 [2.35, 3.92]). Relative to White adolescents, weekday and average daily sleep duration were lower among all other racial identities; mean differences ranged from ~ 5–15 min/day, with Black students reporting the least sleep.
Conclusions
Differences in sleep duration and quality were most profound among adolescents from the lowest and highest SES. Racial disparities were more evident on weekdays. Compensatory weekend sleep appears more pronounced in females than males. Addressing sleep inequities is critical, as a robust predictor of multiple health outcomes.

Mycoremediation is a biological treatment approach that relies on fungi to transform environmental pollutants into intermediates with lower environmen- tal burden. Traditionally, Basidiomycetes were the target fungal phylum used in mycoremediation, however this phylum was found to be unsuccessful when scaled up. In this study, we isolated, characterized, and identified potential polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degrading fungal isolates from creosote- contaminated sediment in the Elizabeth River, Virginia. A total of 132 isolates were isolated, of which the overwhelming majority belonged to the phylum Ascomycota. Isolates were screened for their ability to produce known PAH degrading enzymes, particularly laccase and manganese- dependent peroxidases, and to transform model PAH compounds, fluoranthene, phenanthrene, pyrene and benzo(a)pyrene. Fungal isolates were subsequently biostimulated using com- plex amendments including chicken feathers, wheat seeds, grasshoppers, and maple saw dust. Following biostimulation, laccase expression and PAH transfor- mation was assessed. The grasshopper amendment was found to yield the best results in terms of laccase upregulation with a maximum observed upregulation of 18.9% for the Paraphaeosphaeria isolate. The Septoriella and Trichoderma isolates exposed to the chitin-based grasshopper amendment demonstrated an increase in PAH removal. Septoriella saw an increase of 44% FLA, 54.2% PYR, and 48.7% BaP, while the Trichoderma isolate saw an increase removal of 58.3% BaP. While the results from this study demonstrate the poten- tial of local Superfund site soil fungi to be used for the removal of PAH, additional invesitgation is need to determine if the response to the chitin-based grasshopper mycostimulation can be translated from in vitro to in vivo.
