Studi Komparatif Terhadap Makna Itab Kepada Nabi Muhammad Dalam Perspektif Sayyid Quthub dan Buya Hamka
Authors: Fauzi Farid , Bustamam Risman , Saputra Edriagus
Published: September 2022

Itab is a term used to commemorate and reprimand the Prophet Muhammad when he made a mistake, but in the interpretation of Fiy Zhilalil Qur'an by Sayyid Al-Quthb and Tafsir Al-Azhar by Buya Hamka, they differ in interpreting the word itab contained in the verses. Al-Qur'an. The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences in interpreting the word itab contained in the Qur'an and in this study the author focuses on the verses that explain the sour face and turn away and forbid something that is lawful. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research model and compares the interpretations of Sayyid Qutb and Buya Hamka. From the results of this study which discusses Itab to the Prophet Muhammad SAW, that the two interpreters differ in explaining the meaning of Itab: in terms of language, Sayyid Qutb divides it into 2 types, namely Hard and Soft, while Buya Hamka only has 1 type, namely soft. In terms of terms, Sayyid Qutb uses 2 terms, namely itab and tazdkirah (warning), while buya Hamka uses the terms itab, warning and reprimand. In terms of his position, Sayyid Qutb said that this was a warning to the Prophet Muhammad because of his mistake in ijtihad, so that it had an impact on Islamic law, while according to Buya Hamka, the error of the Prophet Muhammad in ijtihad had no impact on Islamic law, because the Prophet SAW could not be separated from the side of the Prophet Muhammad. mistakes as ordinary people. According to Sayyid Qutb, not all Itabs were addressed to the Prophet Muhammad, but some were addressed to Muslims, while according to Buya Hamka, the Itabs were only addressed to the Prophet Muhammad.

Published: September 2022

The aim of this study was to draw attention to the risk of transmission of Encephalitozoon, Cryptosporidium and Blastocystis infection due to high animal migration and to point out that even wild animals can be a source of many zoonotic diseases. Encephalitozoon cuniculi, Cryptosporidium spp. and Blastocystis spp. are frequent microscopic organisms that parasitise humans, domestic and wild animals. Two hundred and fifty-five faecal specimens were collected from wild boars, badgers, wolves, bears, foxes and deer from 15 locations in Slovakia. Sequencing of positive PCR products and subsequent sequence comparison with GenBank sequences identified Blastocystis spp. in five wild boars. The ST 5 (n = 4) and ST 10 (n = 1) subtypes were determined by genotyping. We identified Encephalitozoon cuniculi in five wild boars, and genotype II (n = 5) was determined on the basis of ITS repeat sequences. Cryptosporidium scrofarum was sequenced in wolves (n = 4) and wild boars (n = 1), while Cryptosporidium suis only in wild boars (n = 2). None of the wild boars had a mixed infection.
Co-movement between the convergence of economic and health status in Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Máté Andor , Somosi Sarolta , Farkas Beáta
Published: September 2022

The Central and Eastern European countries have made considerable economic progress since the capitalist transformation. This paper investigates whether there is a co-movement between two factors of well-being, improvement of economic and health status between 1995 and 2018 compared to the six founding European Union (EU) member states. Applying the Pedroni- and Fisher-type cointegration test and a panel vector error correction model, our estimations suggest that there is a mutual causal relationship between economic convergence measured in GDP per capita and health status convergence measured by life expectancy. The long-term bi-directional effects are also proved by impulse response functions. Using the same econometric methods, the examination of the relationship between government health expenditure and life expectancy indicates that governmental health expenditure promotes the health status convergence. This study concludes that the FDI-based, low-wage growth model of the Central and Eastern European countries has not impeded the convergence in both factors of well-being to the founding EU member states. The results demonstrate that the improvement of the healthcare system may be a channel for the acceleration of convergence.

Authors: Krstić Ana , Jaksić Milena , Mimović Predrag , Tadić Danijela
Published: September 2022

The paper presents the application of a non-parametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique for measuring the macroeconomic performance of the Balkan countries. In this context, for the period of 2006–2018, a dynamic DEA Window model was applied based on selected macroeconomic indicators as input and output variables. For a more comprehensive and objective analysis, the DEA Window analysis is complemented by a Malmquist productivity index that provides a more complete picture of the observed entities' performance and shows a trend of change from period to period. The results showed that in the observed period, Albania and to a large extent Montenegro, especially after the end of the global financial crisis, had the highest average efficiency, that is, they used the available resources effectively to increase the GDP growth rates. The EU Member States, Greece and Croatia, in particular, achieved the highest growth in overall productivity over the observed period, and this growth was largely due to a change in technical efficiency.
Development of ultrasound-assisted extraction followed by solid-phase extraction followed by dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction followed by gas chromatography for the sensitive determination of diazinon in garden parsley as vegetable samples
Authors: Rezaee Mohammad , Khalilian Faezeh , Pourjavid Mohammad Reza
Published: September 2022

A new pretreatment method termed ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) which is combined with solid-phase extraction which is combined with dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (SPE-DLLME) followed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) analysis has been developed for the determination of diazinon in garden parsley as vegetable samples. The analyte was extracted from garden parsley sample using ultrasound-assisted extraction followed by solid-phase extraction followed by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction. Various parameters that affect the efficiency of the extraction techniques have been optimized. The calibration plot was linear in the range of 5.0–1,000 μg kg−1 with detection limit of 1.0 μg kg−1 for diazinon in garden parsley samples. The results confirm the suitability of the UAE-SPE-DLLME-GC-FID as a sensitive method for the analysis of the targeted analyte in garden parsley samples.

Published: September 2022

Snuff is a fine aromatic powder composed of dried and thin leaves combined with tobacco, roots, peels, and seeds. Its use for indigenous religious purposes has appeared since pre-Columbian period in various localities of American continent. Practice is considered sacred in indigenous culture and suffered from trivialization of consumption due to influence of colonizers, which triggered subsequent industrialization of this complex for commercial purposes. Commercial snuff is essentially made from industrialized tobacco without addition of other medicinal plants and without therapeutic or spiritual purposes beyond its indiscriminate and inappropriate use, causing health risks. Therefore, this study aimed to make a review on snuff in Brazilian culture and a tour of a local community. In shamanism, plants are used as access vehicles to other religions of cosmos and its inhabitants, from where experts dialogue, bring songs, news, omens, and acquire new knowledge. The plants used in shamanic composition of snuff vary with the locality of indigenous villages in America and are essential ingredients of this interaction between humans and non-humans, a special mediator of intersubjective interactions. Several studies show the use and meaning of Erythroxylum coca used in different communities of the Amazon, besides Chacrona and Mariri, popular names of plants used in manufacture of Ayahuasca drink by doctrine Santo Daime. Because of this, it is essential to establish differences between recreational snuff and shamanic and their effects on body as well as studies on use of shamanic snuff should be directed according to their applications and plants employed by communities.

Ecumenismo y diálogo interreligioso: una propuesta ontológica desde Paul Tillich y la fenomenología francesa.
Authors: Sanmiguel Martínez Fernando Alexander , Arboleda Mora Carlos Ángel
Published: September 2022

El presente trabajo establece un debate sobre el ecumenismo y su relación con el dialogo interreligioso a partir de la ontología de Paul Tillich. Esta búsqueda genera una crisis que lleva a preguntar: ¿cómo entender la “verdad” del otro sin negar la propia? y como consecuencia ¿cómo establecer un escenario donde las verdades puedan dialogar? Para aproximarnos a posibles respuestas se trazan los siguientes momentos: se hace un recorrido de la interpretación y apertura que se ha tenido desde la teología europea, principalmente católica, y en América Latina. Mostrándose cual han sido los caminos abiertos para este dialogo y la construcción de ecumenismo, igualmente se identifican los elementos problemáticos y desafíos. El segundo momento caracteriza la discusión en torno a la verdad, con tres perspectivas que se han establecido en el siglo XX y principios del siglo XXI. La primera, el eclesiocentrismo; la segunda – en el marco del Concilio Vaticano II - proponiéndose como renuncia al carácter propio de la Iglesia Católica Romana como única forma de “salvación (RAHNER, 2012; KOCH, 2012); la tercera, que reconoce el quehacer de cada creencia, práctica y forma de entendimiento de la espiritualidad. Como tercer momento se plantea en ese debate a las religiones como revelación universal.  Para buscar descifrar ese planteamiento ontológico de Paul Tillich se establece una relación con la fenomenología francesa de la donación universal (MARION, 1997) sugiriendo una senda posible como solución para el encuentro de las culturas y las religiones.
Religião, fé e idolatria em Paul Tillich: o nacionalismo religioso como expressão idolátrica da preocupação última
Authors: Abijaudi André Yuri Gomes
Published: September 2022

O conceito de religião de Paul Tillich se apresenta, provavelmente, como o conceito mais central e fundamental de seu pensamento e da construção deste. Tillich concebe a religião como preocupação última. Além disso, ele apresenta uma compreensão acerca do relacionamento entre a religião e a cultura, expressa na sua ideia de uma teologia da cultura. Para ele, a religião é a função que dá sentido e profundidade a todas as outras funções do espírito humano. E a cultura, a função do espírito humano que aponta para a possibilidade criativa por meio de todas as manifestações culturais. Assim, o presente artigo se propõe a analisar o conceito de religião de Tillich, em profundo diálogo com os demais conceitos de fé, idolatria e cultura desenvolvidos por ele. Especialmente, o texto procura analisar o nacionalismo religioso da Alemanha nazista em sua dimensão religiosa como expressão idolátrica e distorcida da preocupação última tal como concebida por Tillich, gerando profundas e mortais consequências destrutivas.
Uno/Nada, Fundamento/Abismo – preocupações últimas de Plotino e Tillich
Authors: Calvani Carlos Eduardo Brandão
Published: September 2022

A influência de Schelling sobre o pensamento de Tillich já está razoavelmente bem mapeada, mas pouca atenção damos à influência de Plotino e do neoplatonismo sobre esses autores. Enuncia-se, portanto, a necessidade de rastrear nos textos de Tillich, as referências a Plotino, Porfírio, Proclo, Jâmblico e outros neoplatônicos para se compreender semelhanças e diferenças, tais como: a) o reconhecimento dos limites racionais do discurso teológico que levaram os neoplatônicos a inaugurar uma tradição apofática (teologia negativa) absorvida por autores da mística cristã (Pseudo-Dionísio, Mestre Eckhart, Boehme); b) o recurso a imagens e metáforas; c) a estrutura do pensamento plotiniano em Tillich e Schelling, manifesto na percepção triádica da realidade e diádica do pensamento; d) além  de equivalências semânticas, especialmente as noções de “Deus-além-de-Deus” como “Fundamento e abismo” (Tillich) e Uno/Nada (Plotino). A partir de pesquisa bibliográfica em obras de especialistas nesses autores, o texto enuncia caminhos para uma futura pesquisa de maior fôlego capaz de nos ajudar a compreender a importância mediadora de Schelling como ponte entre o neoplatonismo e Tillich, o que tornaria esse autor bem mais neoplatônico do que ele mesmo admitiria.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the frequency of occurrence of sickness absenteeism, according to the profile of Primary Health Care (PHC) professionals, and verify if there was an impact of the pandemic on absence duration and reason. Methods: a cross-sectional study, from January/2019 to December/2020, with PHC professionals from a municipality in northeastern São Paulo. Descriptive statistics were performed, with frequency calculation. Results: of the 977 PHC professionals, 633 (64.79%) used a medical certificate to justify their absence from work in 2019, and 837 (85.67%) in 2020. The main reason for leave was diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue in the two years. The mean duration of leave was 7.33 days (SD=17.33) in 2019 and 9.88 days (SD=16.05) in 2020. Nursing assistants were the ones who took the most leave in both years. Conclusions: there was an impact of the pandemic on absence duration and reason.
AERATED CIRCULAR AND ELLIPTICAL LIQUID JETS IN A GASEOUS CROSSFLOW
Authors: Shaghaghian Sana , Jadidi Mehdi , Akbarnozari Ali , Dolatabadi Ali
Published: September 2022

In this study, the atomization of an effervescent atomizer with an elliptical and circular orifice was investigated experimentally in the gaseous crossflow. The shadowgraph technique was used to visualize the near field of the spray atomization. To measure the spray penetration height in crossflow, image processing was performed on the shadowgraph images based on two different approaches: (i) a threshold analysis of average spray images and (ii) standard deviation images of spray. By comparing these two approaches, it is found that the penetration heights obtained from the standard deviation images were much higher since these images were able to capture small droplets more accurately. Moreover, based on the standard deviation images of spray, an empirical correlation for the spray penetration height was developed as a function of gas-liquid mass flowrate ratio, liquid-air momentum flux ratio, orifice aspect ratio, and downstream location. The laser diffraction technique was used to analyze the particle size of the aerated elliptical and aerated circular jets in a gaseous crossflow. For each orifice shape, the effect of gas-liquid ratio and downstream location on the Sauter mean diameter (SMD) was studied. The results show that the aerated circular jet penetrates higher into the gaseous crossflow than the aerated elliptical jet. Besides, the aerated circular jet in crossflow mainly generates smaller drop sizes compared to the aerated elliptical jet.
Application of the unified CPT method for driven piles to layered deposits
Authors: Bittar E. M. , Lehane B. M. , Liu Z. , Nadim F. , Lacasse S.
Published: September 2022

The ongoing and increasing demand for offshore piles has motivated the development of more reliable design methods and led to the recent development of ‘unified’ cone penetration test design methods to predict the axial capacity of driven piles installed in sand deposits and in clay deposits. However, many sites encountered in practice contain both sand and clay layers as well as silt layers and it is therefore important to assess the reliability of these new methods at such sites. This paper presents this assessment using a newly compiled database of pile load tests in interlayered deposits. It is shown that satisfactory predictions of capacities are attained using the sand and clay formulations of the ‘unified’ method with a correction applied to the sand method to enable prediction of shaft friction in silt deposits.

Dirence neden olan mutasyon tiplerinde yapay ve tarımsal alanlar arasında anlamlı fark bulunamamıştır.
Propósitos humanísticos y utilitarios de la educación superior en el contexto del enfoque de competencia: presentación del problema
Authors: Gilyazova Olga S. , Zamoshchansky Ivan I. , Zamoshchanskaya Anna N.
Published: September 2022

El propósito de este artículo es examinar la tensión que existe entre los propósitos principales de la educación superior, humanista y utilitario, mediante el enfoque por competencias. Las principales conclusiones del estudio teórico, basado en los enfoques estructural-funcional y sistémico-genético, son que esta tensión se resuelve introduciendo las competencias universales (el análogo ruso de las competencias clave, las soft skills), que debido a su especificidad, pueden desempeñar funciones utilitarias, humanísticas, integradoras y equilibradoras del aprendizaje. La educación y la autoeducación (desarrollo intelectual, valórico y existencial respectivamente) en la matriz universalizadora de la reproducción de la cultura, pueden transferir rasgos de la educación universitaria clásica (humanismo y universalismo) a la educación especializada de los institutos, contribuyendo a su convergencia. Sin embargo, la visión, desde el enfoque de competencia, de los dos propósitos principales de la educación, superan la dicotomía artificial entre ellos, y sigue siendo en esencia instrumental y no autotélico.

In-Situ Intercalating of Silica Nanospheres into Polypyrrole During Its Electropolymerization to Prepare a Sorbent for Headspace Microextraction of Aldehydes in Edible Oils
Authors: Hamdi Amin , Dalvand Kolsoum , Ghiasvand Alireza , Heidari Nahid
Published: September 2022

The quality of edible oils is significantly affected by autoxidation of lipids, which alters their flavor and nutritional quality through production of toxic materials like aldehydes (an important class of oil deterioration markers). Herein, an amino-silica nanospheres/polypyrrole (ASNS/PPy) nanocomposite sorbent was synthesized and used as the fiber coating for headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) of aldehydes in edible oils, followed by gas chromatography (GC) separation and determination. Amino-silica nanoparticles were prepared by an amended Stöber method and composited with polypyrrole during its electropolymerization on the surface of a platinized stainless-steel fiber. The synergy between in-situ electropolymerization and rough surface of the platinized metal substrate created a durable fiber coating with unique uniformity, cohesiveness, and adsorption properties. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The performance of the prepared fiber was optimized by investigating the affecting variables including extraction temperature and time, stirring rate, and desorption conditions. The obtained limits of detection for hexanal and heptanal in sunflower oil were 0.005-0.009 μg mL-1. The prepared fiber exhibited excellent repeatability and reproducibility with the intra-fiber and inter-fiber relative standard deviations in the ranges of 3.9–8.8% and 7.3–15.1%, respectively. The proposed HS-SPME-GC strategy was successfully applied for the analysis of aldehydes in commercial edible oil samples.

Some novel benzimidazole derivatives were synthesized and their antimicrobial activities were evaluated. Compounds 3a and 3b exhibited excellent antibacterial activity with MIC values <4 μg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 (MSSA) and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300 (MRSA). Molecular docking analyzes of compounds with MIC values of 16 μg/mL and below against gram-positive bacteria and fungi were performed using FabH (β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase III) as bacterial protein and CYP51 (sterol 14α-demethylase) as the fungal target protein. According to the molecular docking analysis, it was calculated that sufficient protein-ligand interaction energy was liberated between the compounds 2f, 3a, 3b, 3e and 3h and the antibacterial target protein FabH and strong interactions were formed between 2f and 3h and the antifungal target protein. According to RMSD, RMSF and MMPBSA measurements obtained from molecular dynamics, it is understood that compounds 3a and 3b maintain protein-ligand stability in silico physiological conditions.

Three habanero pepper lines were characterized with eight microsatellite markers using the High-Resolution Melt (HRM) technique. Twenty-seven individuals from the HL-original line and 30 individuals each from derived lines HL-70 and HL67 were genotyped. Three microsatellites were monomorphic, and five were polymorphic; however, a high allelic diversity was detected in the homozygous state in the 87 individuals. The Ng8 marker differentiated the HL-original and HL-67 lines from the HL-70 line with HRM profiles. The analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revelated that 52% of the genetic variation existed within lines. The HL-67 line was more similar to the HL-original line than to the HL-70 line. HL-70 recorded the highest genetic diversity for the derived lines and, therefore, could be used in a new breeding program. In contrast, the HL-67 line, because of its high genetic homogeneity, could potentially be used to evaluate different environmental conditions to find optimal conditions that increase productivity and pungency. Finally, comparing the HRM profiles with the monomorphic markers (Ng 33, Ng 18 and Ng 10) differentiated the C. chinense and C. frutescens species, which was difficult because of high morphologic similarity between these two species and is usually evaluated at the flowering stage, while HRM profiles can be done at any plant stage.

Debido a la importancia del cultivo de papa en Nariño, Colombia, la alta participación de fertilizantes en los costos de producción (25%) y la gran variabilidad de suelos en la región, se evaluaron agronómica y económicamente tres niveles de fertilización para seis cultivares de Solanum tuberosum subsp. andigena en cuatro ambientes homogéneos de producción. Variables fisiológicas y de rendimiento fueron registradas en parcelas experimentales con un diseño de bloques completamente al azar con tres repeticiones en cada ambiente. Se realizaron análisis de varianza, comparación de medias para componentes de rendimiento y análisis discriminante de componentes principales con todas las variables. En el análisis económico se usó la metodología de presupuesto parcial de beneficio neto. Los ambientes generaron respuestas diferenciales en los cultivares. Entre niveles de fertilización hubo diferencias significativas, sin embargo, no hubo interacción entre niveles y ambientes. Los cultivares 'ICA Única', 'Pastusa Suprema', 'Parda Bilingüe' y 'Roja Huila' presentaron los mayores rendimientos con la aplicación de 262, 600 y 538 kg ha-1 de N, P2O5 y K2O (nivel L3). 'Diacol Capiro' y 'Superior' no presentaron diferencias de rendimiento entre niveles. Económicamente, la alternativa que generaría mayor retorno por la inversión fue la fertilización con el nivel L2 (N 180, P2O5 400, K2O 358 kg ha-1) en los cultivares 'Diacol Capiro', 'Superior' e 'ICA Única', mientras que para 'Roja Huila' y 'Parda Bilingüe' fue el nivel L1 (N 150, P2O5 200, K2O 100 kg ha-1). En el caso de Pastusa Suprema, la tasa de retorno marginal fue de 18,5% con el nivel L2 de fertilización.

Classic plant breeding, based on the selection of superior individuals and directed crosses, led to the need-to-know aspects of the floral biology of cowpea beans. The research was carried out at the Universidad de Córdoba, Colombia, through two experiments: in the first, stigmatic receptivity was evaluated as response time to hydrogen peroxide, under a randomized complete block design, with a 3×4 factorial arrangement (three genotypes: Caupicor 50, Missouri and BRS Milenium, and at four hours of the day: 7:00 and 9:00 AM; 3:00 and 5:00 PM) and three replications. In the second, the percentage of viable crosses was evaluated, under a randomized complete block design, with a 2×2 factorial arrangement (two crosses: Missouri × IT86 and Missouri × BRS Milenium, and two methods: 1 (morning) and 2 (afternoon), and four replications. The greatest stigmatic receptivity was recorded in the BRS Milenium and Missouri genotypes with a time of 3.28±0.07 and 2.01±0.12 min at 7:00 and 9:00 AM, while Caupicor 50, time of 1.80±0.09 min at 3:00 PM. The artificial hybridizations carried out in the morning (method 1) registered the highest viable crosses, 78.6% in Missouri × BRS Milenium and 57.1% in Missouri × IT86. Therefore, artificial hybridizations should be done in the morning due to a more favorable environment for pollen grain germination, given the greater stigmatic receptivity.

Champa (Campomanesia lineatifolia R. & P) is a fruit with an exquisite taste and pleasant aroma, with high commercial potential because its flavor and nutritional composition, but it is highly perishable, and various aspects of its physiology are still unknown. The objective was to study the behavior of champa fruit during postharvest. Fruit were collected directly from trees when they were 100% yellow; then, they were stored at 22°C and 80% relative humidity. The variables were measured over four days. The fruit presented a climacteric behavior with a drastic increase in respiration on the second day after harvest, accompanied by an increase in ethylene production. Firmness decreased continuously and reached values of 1.5±0.14 N at the end. Weight loss increased and was 7.88±0.45% on day 4. Soluble solids increased until climacteric and then decreased. The pH decreased, and the total acidity increased. The color index increased and reached a value of 2.12±0.80. The polygalacturonase activity increased until the third day and subsequently decreased. The activity of this enzyme was related to the loss of firmness. Citric acid was the predominant acid and increased continuously postharvest. In the end, malic and oxalic acid decreased, and succinic had a slight increase. The predominant sugar was sucrose, followed by fructose and glucose. Sucrose presented a high value (61.42±11.6 mg g-1 of fresh weight) on day 1 after harvest; this value decreased on the second day, remained stable on day 3, and then increased for day 4. Glucose and fructose had the lowest values on the first day, which increased in a representative way on day 2, stabilized on day 3, and again increased until day 4. At this point, they had the highest concentration with 24.75±0.71 mg g-1 for glucose and 42.22±0.96 mg g-1 for fructose. These results contribute to the understanding of the postharvest behavior of this species.

Learning algorithms for spiking neural networks: should one use learning algorithms from ANN/DL or neurological plausible learning? - A thought-provoking impulse
Authors: Bogdan Martin
Published: September 2022

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Machine Learning (ML) currently also known as Deep Learning (DL) became more and more important in industrial applications during the last decade. This is due to new possibilities by strongly increased available computational power in connection with a renaissance of ANN in terms of so-called Deep Learning (DL). As DL requires especially for Big Data extreme computational power, the question of resource preserving methods came recently into the focus. Also, the often propagated intelligence of DL resp. "Cognitive Computing" in terms of contextual information processing is more often discussed since it is effectively missed in DL solutions. One option to overcome both challenges might be the third generation of ANNs: Spiking Neural Networks (SNN). But since SNN training methods are slow compared to DL learning algorithms, the question of the way how to learn SNNs arose. We will discuss different aspects of learning algorithms for SNNs: Is it useful to adopt DL learning algorithms to SNN or not, especially if one will preserve the "cognitive" functions of SNNs?

Published: September 2022

Biodegradable materials are designed to degrade in a desired time either through the action of microorganisms or under certain physical conditions. The driving force behind the rise of biodegradable materials is the growing problem of electronic waste (e-waste), low recyclability, and toxicity of electronic materials. Transient response of biodegradable materials has found application in next-generation health-care and biomedical devices. Advances in material science and manufacturing technique have pushed the envelope of innovation further. This review discusses different biodegradable material classes that have emerged to replace the traditional non-biodegradable materials in electronics. Focus has been given to conversion of biodegradable materials to inks and pastes that find use in printed electronics to create flexible, bendable, soft, and degradable devices. Material degradation behavior and dissolution chemistries have been illustrated to understand their impact on electrical performance of devices. Finally, some short-term and long-term challenges are pointed out to overcome the commercialization barrier.
