Fluorescent printing inks are often used for design elements in printing, signage, highlighted segments on packaging, and similar applications. In this research, commercially available papers made from recycled and non-woody fibers, such as hemp and cotton, will be used as substrates for printing with fluorescent inks. Paper printing substrate made entirely from virgin fibers will serve as a reference paper. The aim of this study is to determine the influence of paper made from recycled and non-woody plants on the effect of printed fluorescent inks. These paper printing substrates will be examined for their structural, surface, and optical properties, as well as screen-printed with fluorescent inks. The characteristic fluorescent effect of the printed ink will be evaluated using spectrophotometric method on all printing substrates. The difference between papers made from non-woody plants and recycled fibers compared to the reference paper made from virgin fibers will be determined, as well as their impact on the optical effect of fluorescent inks, printed elements, and line width. Additionally, a survey will be conducted to identify the most acceptable paper substrate for designs printed with fluorescent inks

The possibility of integrating printed flexible electronic components into visual solutions that interactively communicate with the consumer represents a new direction in the development of sustainable solutions accessible to all target groups. Flexible electronic thin films are becoming one of the integral elements of visual communication, which means they must be incorporated into the design itself rather than being hidden beneath another element. Today's trends are increasingly directed towards the use of cellulose materials as more acceptable in packaging and other graphic products. In this regard, it was necessary to examine the mechanical, electrical, and colour stability of conductive thin films printed on cellulose substrates. This study examined the possibility of applying conductive silver-based film on cellulose based substrate through the examination of the electric conductivity of silver-based thin films by comparing the quality of prints on two substrates. Additionally, the resistance of printed thin films to double bending and rubbing was investigated. The values of electrical conductivity before and after mechanical testing were compared to explore the potential application of conductive inks in creating visually attractive and mechanically resistant silver-based conductive films. The research has shown that the substrate selection significantly affects the mechanical resistance of prints to bending. Additionally, despite significant visual changes in the conductive thin films, the electrical conductivity of the thin films did not change significantly.

One of the most challenging and maybe most important tasks of working as a professor and instructor is creating a purposeful and engaging curriculum program. To convey the right theoretical information and practical knowledge, professors go through an iterative process of learning through self- education, teaching, correcting, and adjusting their teaching approach. One must embark on the journey of self-discovery, proper communication, and willingness to change and adapt the curriculum to meet the requirements of industry standards, students, and technology. This paper aims to give insight into the iterative process of creating a curriculum program and practical tasks for students in the third year of Graphic Engineering and Design studies on the subject of Computer Games. Also, the process of transferring skills, acquired by working as an instructor for Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite and collaborating with the game designers, in the classroom will be discussed. As a result of this paper, some guidelines for designing curriculum programs for teaching game design and game development are proposed.

Due to developing economies and increasing fast consumption, products are constantly in motion globally, causing the need to monitor the products from production to sale and to keep track of their stocks regularly. At this point, smart technological products such as RFID tags make tracking easier and contribute to the smooth progress of business by containing product information. However, these tags, attached to almost every product, contain printed electronics and, therefore, valuable metals. These metals, thrown away after the product is purchased, cause e waste and environmental pollution. It may be possible to recycle these metals for reuse at the end of the tags' life. Therefore, in addition to the durability of the printed RFID tag antennas, recyclability also becomes important in sustainability. In this study, a natural conductive ink containing macroparticles of stainless steel and natural resin was developed. RFID tag antennas were printed by screen printing on PE-coated papers using this novel ink. The recycling of metals on the printed tags was studied using the deinking technique Ingede 11. Screen-printed tag antennas on paper were deinked, and the rates of metal particles remaining in paper residues and wastewater were determined. The results indicate that the metals' particle size and the interaction and adhesion of ink to paper are important for a successful deinking process in conductive inks
La evaluación de los servicios públicos como proxy al análisis de las políticas públicas subnacionales: su calidad y sus tipos en los municipios mexicanos
Authors: Martínez-Hernández Aldo Adrián
Published: October 2024

Objetivos: la literatura especializada poco ha evidenciado sobre los servicios públicos subnacionales y mucho menos sobre su calidad. El objetivo de la investigación es determinar el nivel de calidad de los servicios públicos municipales en México y con ello definir sus tipos en este nivel de análisis. Metodología: se utiliza un marco metodológico que puntualiza la observación comparativa en realidades municipales disímiles. La investigación parte de una perspectiva empírica y cuantitativa que observa los servicios públicos como proxy al análisis de política pública, con una muestra de 225 municipios de las 32 entidades federativas mexicanas. Para ello se propone una nueva medida que intenta evaluar la calidad de los servicios desde una perspectiva bidimensional. Resultados: los resultados permiten identificar que en la mayoría de los municipios mexicanos los niveles de calidad de los servicios son medios y que, de acuerdo con su naturaleza, algunos servicios se enmarcan en políticas convergentes y coherentes, lo cual mejora su calidad, evidenciando la utilidad y replicabilidad del indicador creado. Conclusiones: el texto concluye con una propuesta de tipología de políticas públicas desarrollada a partir de las dimensiones analíticas utilizadas, aportando una mirada más precisa sobre los servicios públicos a nivel municipal.

Authors: Leela N K , Adheeba P K
Published: October 2024

Curcuma caesia Roxb. commonly known as ‘black turmeric’ is an erect rhizomatous herb characterized by bluish‑black rhizomes and   leaves with a deep red-violet midrib. It is a native of northeast and central India and also found in Java and Myanmar. The plant is used in traditional medicine for   the treatment of several metabolic disorders, leukoderma, leprosy, rheumatic complaints, bronchial disorders, menstrual disorders, gastrointestinal problems, neurological disorders, cancer and diabetes. The rhizomes contain 1.3-7.14% anthocyanins which determine its bluish black hue. 1,8-cineole, camphor, ar-turmerone, linalool, ocimene, ar-curcumene, zingiberol, curzerenone and   tropolone were reported as the major components of rhizome oil from different geographical locations. The leaf oil is dominated by 1,8-cineole, camphor and borneol.  Furanodienone and curzerenone were identified as the marker compounds for determining the quality of rhizomes. The present review is an update of its phytochemical constituents and pharmacological properties.

Published: October 2024

A study was carried out at Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner, Rajasthan, during the rabi seasons of 2015–16 and 2016–17 to investigate the effects of irrigation levels, crop geometry, and mulch on yield parameters, yield, economics, and water use efficiency of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.). Findings showed that the irrigation level of 0.8 ETc considerably increased the yield parameters of fennel, including seed (1684 kg ha-1) and stover yield (3110 kg ha-1), net return (103149 ha-1) and benefit: cost ratio (2.58). At 0.6 ETc, a maximum water use efficiency of 5.48 kg ha-1 mm-1 was observed. 40 cm x 60 cm paired row planting produced significantly superior yield parameters, seed yield, and water use efficiency. Results further revealed that the application of plastic mulch considerably improved yield parameters, yield, net return, and benefit: cost ratio as compared to no mulch treatment. However, test weight and harvest index were not influenced by plastic mulch. Thus, in arid and semi-arid parts of Rajasthan, integrated use of drip irrigation at 0.8 ETc and plastic mulch under paired row sowing of 40 cm x 60 cm proved more viable for ensuring higher productivity of rabi fennel.
Isolation and characterization of lycopene β cyclase from Capsicum frutescens
Authors: Chinnkar Meetali , Jadhav Pratima
Published: October 2024

Lycopene β cyclase (LCY-B) catalyzes the conversion of linear lycopene to cyclic β carotene, a crucial component of the photosynthetic machinery and a source of vitamin A for humans and animals. The gene was amplified in fragments using primers designed from conserved sequences of available nucleotide sequences from NCBI and a sequence of 1494 bp was observed upon amplification of the complete gene. The deduced amino acid sequence had a significant overall similarity with sequences of other Capsicum plants. It was observed that C. frutescens occurred in the same cluster as C. annuum and C. baccatum, while LCYB from all the other plants of the Solanaceae family were placed in one cluster signifying the conserved nature of the protein. The tertiary structure obtained from the protein was validated using the Ramachandran plot and ERRANT scores were determined. The protein function analysis gives insight into important parameters of the protein such as the number of cysteine residues, glycosylation sites, phosphorylation sites, etc.

This study explores the significance of juvenile personality in criminal proceedings within Kosovo’s legal framework, emphasising juveniles' unique psychological, social and biological development stages and their impact on criminal behaviour. Despite the global interest in juvenile justice, there is a notable gap in literature specific to Kosovo, particularly concerning the consideration of personality traits and cognitive maturity in legal processes. Through an analysis of the Code of Juvenile Justice and the Code of Criminal Procedure, along with case studies and interviews with police, prosecutors, judges and psychologists, the research addresses this gap. Key findings highlight that while Kosovo’s legal framework provides robust protections for juveniles, practical challenges include delayed identification, insufficient privacy enforcement and resource constraints. The study underscores the importance of psychologist involvement during interrogations and the need for age-appropriate communication. Additionally, it points out the limited number of specialised personnel and rehabilitation institutions as major obstacles. The research advocates for enhanced training, increased resources and a review of current sanctions to ensure the juvenile justice system prioritises rehabilitation over punishment. This study aims to improve the understanding of juvenile personality in legal proceedings, promoting fair and just treatment for young offenders. Keywords: Criminal Process; Juvenile Personality; Kosovo Juvenile Justice.
Canon law and latin legal characterization
Authors:   Rīga Stradiņš University, Latvia, Zariņš Kristaps
Published: October 2024

The purpose of the article is to focus on the early history of law in our era, when secular law and religious one shaped each of their own legal system, but at the same time were not clearly distinguishable and separable. The work highlights some important but key nuances that seem to particularly characterize the dimensions of religious and secular law. The main results of the article form a set of conclusions about the presence of secular and spiritual values in the common legal culture of the distant Roman Empire. In times, when canon or religious law, which manifested itself as one of the facets of values of the Christian church, began to become an inevitable part of secular law. In the end, it is important to note that the work as a whole concludes that the political and dogmatic, hence the divine and traditions of the Roman Empire of the ancient state, were became more and more vividly and obviously apparent not only in laws, decisions and edicts of the empire, but also in their potential and possible clash with the acts and regulations issued by the church as a competing force for the power of the empire. Keywords: church; canon law; Roman law; Christian rights.

Published: October 2024

Статья посвящена проблеме перевода танских стихов с классического китайского языка вэньянь на русский язык. Доказывается, что, передавая поэтическую идею стихотворения, каждый поэт-переводчик создает новую эстетическую оболочку, меняющую восприятие содержательного уровня стихотворения, что точность в отображении идеи древней китайской поэзии неизбежно зависит от глубокого знания грамматических и синтаксических особенностей вэньяня. Работа содержит анализ двух переводов стихотворения Бо Цзюйи «Старый торговец углем», выполненных Л.З. Эйдлином, Чжао Хун и О.В. Дубковой.

The paper addresses the issue of translating Tang poems from classical Chinese into Russian. It proves that while transmitting the idea of the poem, any poet-translator creates a new aesthetic form that changes its perception on informative level. The accurate communication of the poetic idea depends on translator’s fluency in classical Chinese grammar and syntax. The paper also analyzes the two translations of the poem «The Old Charcoal Seller» by Tang poet Bai Juyi offered by L.Z. Eidlin, Zhao Hong and O.V. Dubkova.

В статье поднимается проблема поиска семиотических условий деривационного функционирования текста. В качестве такого условия предлагается рассматривать гомологическую симметрию лексемы и текста, определяющую специфику непрерывно го деривационномотивационного процесса и обусловливающую способ производства текста из лексемы как его знаконосителя. В работе выделены два типовых варианта превербальной организации речевого произведения в актах его генезиса и функционирования, которые отражают специфику гомологической симметрии лексемы и текста.

The article focuses on the search for semiotic conditions of derivational functioning of a text. One of the mentioned above is homological symmetry of a lexeme and a text, which determines the specificity of the continuous derivationalmotivational process as well as the process of producing the text from the lexeme as its signifier. The paper identifies two typical ways of the preverbal organization of the text in its genesis and functioning, which reflect the features of the homological symmetry of the lexeme and the text.

ПРОГНОСТИЧЕСКАЯ ФУНКЦИЯ ЗАГЛАВИЙ В ПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЯХ И.С. ТУРГЕНЕВА
Authors: Геймбух Е.Ю.
Published: October 2024

Статья посвящена целостному изучению названий прозаических произведений И.С. Тургенева. Настойчивое возвращение писателя к проблеме заголовка указывает, с одной стороны, на принципиальную значимость заглавия для автора, а с другой на тенденцию замены нейтральных, малоинформативных названийантропонимов на названия символические, проблемные. Предметом данной статьи является изучение прогностической функции названий как одного из аспектов содержательного уровня заголовков на примере классических повестей и романов 18441883 гг., а также двух циклов И.С. Тургенева, начинающих и завершающих его зрелое творчество.

The paper presents a comprehensive analysis of titles in I.S. Turgenevs prose. The fact that I.S. Turgenev repeatedly addressed the issue of the title reveals importance the writer attached to the right name for a literary work. Along with it, I.S. Turgenevs choice of titles clearly indicates the trend for neutral uninformative anthroponymic titles being replaced by symbolic, thoughtprovoking ones. The research focus is made on the prognostic function of the title, with the analysis based on I.S. Turgenevs novels of 18441883 and two cycles of stories A Sportmans Sketches and Sinilia. The author interprets the prognostic function as a tool to shape the readers perception, create the effect of anticipation (N.A. Nikolina).Readers projections for the content of a literary work largely hinge on its genre, indicated theme, event (and its assessment), prototypical name, etc. The story titles in A Sportsmans Sketches are built on the same principle as the structure of the narrative: showing characters rather than describing events. The world depicted in the stories is well familiar to the author, but he acts as an observer on the sidelines. All the titles of this series imply the authors detachment with only one exception Hamlet of Shchigrovsky Province, which features an emotional characteristic of the protagonist the author feels close to. I.S. Turgenevs novels and novellas, by contrast, portray homes of the gentry the world the writer belongs to and describes from the inside. The titles of all I.S. Turgenevs novels, except Rudin, signal some problem and the focus of further narrative. Research results suggest ways of conceptualizing some titles (First Love, Home of the Gentry) which change their prognostic function. Thus, the titles of Senilia sketches, by describing isolated fragments from the outer world, help understand the inner world of the narrator A Sportmans Sketches shows reality through the prizm of the observer in novels and novellas Man vs Environment conflict is shown from the authors viewpoint. Studying I.S. Turgenevs works in chronological perspective (from his early works to late ones) helps see the rationale of namegiving, as well as trace changes in the prognostic function of the titles.

2-Benzylbenzimidazole opioids and related derivatives, also known as ‘nitazenes’, present a growing threat to public health. Emerging in Europe in 2019, the nitazene group of drugs is a recent addition to the novel synthetic opioid class and has been associated internationally with adverse effects in drug users, overdose clusters and significant mortality. The high potency of many nitazene derivatives, which can in many cases exceed that of fentanyl, poses a significant challenge to the public health and early warning systems used to detect and respond to the emergence of new high-risk substances. This report describes close collaboration between an Australian drug checking service and a nearby university laboratory to identify and characterise the novel synthetic opioid N-pyrrolidino isotonitazene in an expected oxycodone sample presented by a member of the public. Though no prior publications are available describing the presence of this nitazene in the drug market, previously reported in vitro evaluation of this compound reveals it to be among the most potent nitazene opioid agonists known. The study highlights the rapid response possible though engaging drug users with drug checking services as a market monitor and early warning system to alert health services and the broader community to the presence of unexpected, high-risk substances. Integration of well-resourced and supported drug checking services provides a powerful approach to tackle the public health threats associated with new synthetic opioids and other drugs of concern.

Analysis of intact protein ions allows for valuable insights into complex biological processes. However, top-down mass spectrometry data is often convoluted and frequently results in numerous overlapping product ions. Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) can aid in deconvolution of these spectra, and we previously demonstrated that the IMS separations provided by trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) significantly increased the sequence coverage provided by collision induced dissociation (CID). In this work, we further improve the “CIDtims” method by incorporating the dynamic control of ion populations, optimizing the bioinformatic approach to better leverage the mobility separation, and finally porting the technique to an improved version of the instrument, the timsTOF Pro2. Lastly, we utilize these improvements to assess internal ions generated by CIDtims. Internal ions are of particular importance in the CIDtims workflow as all charge states are simultaneously activated and the highest charge states will likely be subjected to “over fragmentation”. We demonstrate that mobility separation increases the signal-to-noise ratios and the isotopic fit scores of internal ions and enables the assignment of additional product ions.
Surfing the Limits of Cyanine Photocages One Step at a Time

Near-infrared light-activated photocages enable controlling molecules with tissue penetrating light. Understanding the structural aspects that govern the photouncaging process is essential to enhancing their efficacy, crucial for practical applications. Here we explore the impact of thermodynamic stabilization on contact ion pairs in cyanine photocages by quaternarization of the carbon reaction centers. This strategy enables the first direct uncaging of carboxylate payloads independent of oxygen, resulting in a remarkable two-orders-of-magnitude enhancement in uncaging efficiency. Our computational analyses reveals that these modifications confer a kinetic instead of thermodynamic effect, reducing ion–ion interactions and allowing complete separation of free ions while inhibiting recombination. We demonstrate that, while thermodynamic stabilization is effective in traditional chromophores operating at shorter wavelengths, it rapidly reaches its thermodynamic limitations in NIR photocages by compromising the photocage stability in the dark. Thanks to these findings, we establish that activation of cyanine photocages is limited to wavelengths of light below 1000 nm. Our work illuminates the path to improving uncaging cross-sections in NIR photocages by prioritizing kinetic trapping and separation of ions.
Chemical probes to control a dissociative LuxR-type quorum sensing receptor in Gram-negative bacteria
Authors: Stoutland Irene , Aguirre-Figueroa Guadalupe , Blackwell Helen
Published: October 2024

Quorum sensing (QS) allows bacteria to respond to changes in cell density and participate in collective behaviors. Interfering in QS could provide a strategy to block pathogenicity, reduce biofouling, and support biotechnology. Many common Gram-negative bacteria use LuxR-type QS receptors that regulate gene transcription in response to chemical signals, most frequently N-acyl L-homoserine lactones (AHLs). The best-studied LuxR-type receptors operate via an “associative” mechanism — i.e., they dimerize and associate with DNA upon ligand binding. In contrast, members of the less well-studied class of “dissociative” LuxR-type receptors bind DNA in the absence of ligand and dissociate from DNA upon ligand binding. Few chemical tools to modulate dissociative receptors have been identified to date. Such probes could provide new entry into mechanistic studies of LuxR-type QS, as dissociative receptors may be more stable in vitro relative to associative LuxR-type receptors. In this work, we report synthetic modulators of EsaR, a dissociative LuxR-type receptor present in the plant pathogen Pantoea stewartii, based on AHL scaffolds. Compound activity was evaluated using cell-based EsaR reporters and phenotypic assays. We identified specific structural features associated with agonistic activity in EsaR, some of which were comparable to synthetic ligands active in other LuxR-type receptors. In contrast to prior studies of synthetic AHL mimics, no EsaR antagonists were uncovered in our investigations. These results provide chemical strategies to investigate the mechanisms of ligand response in EsaR and suggest that different approaches may be required to develop competitive antagonists for dissociative LuxR-type receptors.

В работе приводятся результаты исследования применения двух промышленных программных продуктов для построения баз знаний нечетких регуляторов для управления неустойчивыми нелинейными динамическими объектами: на основе ANFIS (встроенного в Matlab модуля) и AFM c инструментариями $SCOptKB^{TM}$ - оптимизатора баз знаний на основе технологий мягких вычислений, и $QCOptKB^{TM}$ - оптимизатора баз знаний на основе квантовых вычислений. Рассматриваются результаты сравнительного анализа качества построенных с помощью данных инструментариев баз знаний для интеллектуальных систем управления. Сравнение реализуется посредством моделирования интеллектуального управления типовыми нелинейными динамическими системами с локальной, глобальной и частичной (по части переменных) неустойчивостью, характерной для робототехнических систем. Рассматривается эффективный подход к проектированию баз знаний на основе технологии мягких вычислений с использованием ряда важных термодинамических и информационно-энтропийных критериев управления, повышающих объективность содержащейся в БЗ информации о динамическом поведении объекта управления.

The paper presents the results of a study of the use of two industrial software products for building knowledge bases of fuzzy controllers for controlling unstable nonlinear dynamic objects: based on ANFIS (built-in Matlab module) and AFM with tools $SCOptKB^{TM}$ - knowledge base optimizer based on soft computing technologies, and $QCOptKB^{TM}$ - knowledge base optimizer based on quantum computing. The results of a comparative analysis of the quality of knowledge bases built using these tools for intelligent control systems are considered. The comparison is realized by modeling intelligent control of typical nonlinear dynamic systems with local, global and partial (in terms of variables) instability characteristic of robotic systems. An effective approach to the design of knowledge bases based on soft computing technology is considered using a number of important thermodynamic and information-entropy control criteria that increase the objectivity of the information contained in the database about the dynamic behavior of the control object.
