Schweizer LGBTIQ+ Panel - Abschlussbericht 2023
Authors: Hässler Tabea , Eisner Léïla
Published: February 2024

Im Jahr 2023 haben viele Diskussionen Fragen im Zusammenhang mit den Rechten von lesbischen, schwulen, bisexuellen, trans, intergeschlechtlichen und queeren (LGBTIQ+) Menschen in den Vordergrund gerückt. Diese Diskussionen umfassen eine Reihe von Themen, darunter das Verbot von Konversionstherapien auf verschiedenen Ebenen und die zunehmende Sichtbarkeit von trans und nicht-binären Personen in den Medien. Fragen zu diesen Themen waren Teil der Umfrage im Jahr 2023 des Schweizer LGBTIQ+ Panels. In der fünften Welle des Schweizer LGBTIQ+ Panels präsentieren wir zentrale Themen aus unserer jährlichen Umfrage. Zuerst geben wir eine Übersicht über die Befragten, die demografische Verteilung und die jährlichen Statistiken, wie Diskriminierung und Coming Out. Danach heben wir wichtige Ergebnisse im Zusammenhang mit Konversionstherapien hervor. Anschliessend stellen wir Statistiken über gemeldete Hassverbrechen vor, einschliesslich der Meldungen an die Polizei und den Erfahrungen der Opfer. Im Anschluss präsentieren wir Schlüsselstatistiken über die Änderungen von Namen und Geschlechtseintrag in verschiedenen Bereichen. Letztlich präsentieren wir Ergebnisse zur Gesundheit und dem Wohlbefinden von LGBTIQ+ Personen. Wie in den vorangegangenen Umfragen haben wir verschiedene Versionen des Online-Fragebogens entwickelt, die auf Angehörige sexueller Minderheiten (z. B. asexuelle, schwule, lesbische, bi- oder pansexuelle Menschen) und Angehörige geschlechtlicher Minderheiten (z. B. trans oder intergeschlechtliche Menschen) zugeschnitten sind. Dies erlaubt uns die spezifischen Herausforderungen (z. B. rechtliche Situation, Diskriminierung), mit denen verschiedene Untergruppen der LGBTIQ+ Community konfrontiert sind, zu verstehen. Interessierte cis-heterosexuelle Personen konnten ebenfalls an der Umfrage teilnehmen. Bitte beachten Sie, dass Personen sowohl einer sexuellen als auch einer geschlechtlichen Minderheit angehören können. Um den Zeitaufwand für die Beantwortung der Umfrage zu verringern, füllten die Teilnehmenden nur eine Version des Fragebogens aus. Alle Versionen wurden ins Englische, Deutsche, Französische und Italienische übersetzt. Dank der Unterstützung vieler LGBTIQ+ Organisationen, Zeitschriften und Personen, die unsere Studie über verschiedene Medienkanäle verbreiteten, beantworteten 2812 Personen unseren Fragebogen von Januar 2023 bis September 2023. Im vorliegenden Bericht konzentrieren wir uns auf die wichtigsten Ergebnisse für sexuelle Minderheiten, geschlechtliche Minderheiten und cis-heterosexuelle Personen.
Does Violence in Video Games Impact Aggression and Empathy? A Longitudinal Study of Czech Adolescents to Differentiate Within- and Between-Person Effects
Authors: Lacko David , Macháčková Hana , Smahel David
Published: February 2024

The associations between exposure to violent video games (VVG) and aggression/empathy have been extensively studied. VVG are often depicted as triggers for increased aggression and decreased empathy in line with the General Aggression Model. However, longitudinal evidence that distinguishes within- and between-person effects and focuses on various dimensions of aggression/empathy remains scarce. Drawing on representative sample of 3,010 Czech adolescents (aged 13-17), data were collected over four waves to measure physical and verbal aggression, and cognitive and affective empathy. VVG was evaluated based on open-ended responses. A random-intercept cross-lagged panel model was employed to differentiate within- and between-person associations. VVG positively correlated with cognitive empathy, verbal aggression, and physical aggression at the between-person level. At the within-person level, two hypotheses were examined: the selection effect (effects of changes in aggression/empathy on changes in VVG) and the desensitization effect (effects of changes in VVG on alterations in aggression/empathy). All desensitization effects were statistically insignificant. Regarding selection effects, an increase in affective empathy was linked to a decrease in VVG. Conversely, an increase in physical aggression was associated with an increase in VVG, both positively and negatively, depending on the wave of data collection. Furthermore, the moderation effects of age and gender were tested at the within-person level. The positive (but not negative) effect of physical aggression on exposure to VVG was moderated by age, with a stronger effect evident among younger participants. These findings challenge the portrayal of VVG as a significant contributor to heightened aggression and decreased empathy in adolescents.
Understanding Student Perspectives on Grade Weight Allocation
Authors: Cui Lucy
Published: February 2024

Teachers and students tend to have different views about grades. In this study, I investigated the beliefs and attitudes that students have about grade weights (i.e., % of grade things are worth) by having them select grade weights for grade components and select their preferences for proportional or inversely proportional grade weights depending on assignment characteristics. Students ended up choosing grade weights that benefited their grades. Students who do not do well on exams choose a lower maximum grade weight for exams. Most students preferred grade weights to be proportional to time spent, difficulty, and length of assignments, while inversely proportional to strictness of grading. Overall, these results show that students would like grades to reflect the effort they put in. While they do not mind the difficulty of assignments, they do care whether something will be graded strictly.
Relations between Social Camouflaging, Life Satisfaction, and Depression among Polish Women with ADHD
Authors: Wicherkiewicz Fryderyka , Gambin Małgorzata
Published: February 2024

Background. This study investigated the relationship between social camouflaging, life satisfaction, and depression symptoms in Polish women with ADHD. It aimed to fill a research gap in understanding ADHD manifestations in women, particularly focusing on social camouflaging—a concept known in autism, referring to strategies used to mask symptoms in social interactions. Methods: A total of 329 women with ADHD took part in an online survey. The survey measured ADHD symptoms using the ADHD Self Report Scale (ASRS-vI.I), life satisfaction with the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), and depressive symptoms using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Additionally, a novel set of questions, inspired by the Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) but tailored for ADHD, was utilized to assess social camouflaging. Results: Results indicated a significant negative association between social camouflaging and life satisfaction and a positive correlation with depressive symptoms, even after controlling for demographic variables. Additionally, factors like being in a relationship and having a positive financial perception correlated with higher well-being. Limitations: Reliance on self-report measures, the cross-sectional design, and participants' self-reported ADHD diagnosis are the main limitations of the study. Conclusion: The research underscores the importance of social camouflaging in understanding ADHD in women, suggesting that efforts to mask symptoms and meet societal expectations may link to lower life satisfaction and increased depressive symptoms. These findings advocate for continued research into these dynamics to develop more effective support for women with ADHD.
Explaining Social Disparities by Emulating Interventions at Different Life Course Stages
Authors: Kratz Fabian
Published: February 2024

This study argues that sociological research on the mechanisms that cause social disparities could profit from clarifying theoretical propositions, strengthening the link between theory and analytical approach, and extending the methodological toolbox. I develop arguments through a review of research on mechanisms explaining health disparities with respect to social origin. To increase the clarity of theoretical propositions, I develop the intersectional life course model of inequality formation, which posits that the amount of a social disparity depends on risk chains between intervening mediating mechanisms and the type of intervention emulated to reduce the disparity. To strengthen the link between theory and analytical approach, the intersectional life course model explicates the unit-specific quantities that refer to its propositions. To test these, I analyze data from the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) and employ two novel methods of causal mediation analysis. To demonstrate that these methods yield empirical quantities that speak to the propositions derived from the intersectional life course model, while conventional mediation approaches do not return such coefficients, I contrast the results of these novel methods with results returned by the conventional mediation approaches that have been used in previous research.

Stunting merupakan cerminan dari kekurangan gizi kronis dikarenakan kurangnya konsumsi nutrisi dalam waktu yang lama dikarenakan tidak sesuainya konsumsi makanan dengan keperluan nutrisi sehingga akan menimbulkan dampak jangka panjang. Terdapat berbagai faktor penyebab stunting antara lain faktor sosio-kultural, tempat tinggal, dan kesehatan ibu selama kehamilan. Selain itu, frekuensi pemberian MP-ASI yang kurang, pemberian MP-ASI/susu formula terlalu dini, kesadaran ibu terhadap gizi anak, dan pendidikan ibu. Oleh karena itu, diadakan edukasi terkait upaya pencegahan terjadinya stunting seperti pengetahuan terkait PHBS, kesehatan reproduksi, dan peran penting adanya PIK-R dikalangan remaja.  Edukasi kepada remaja ditujukan agar remaja lebih peduli akan kesehatan dirinya sendiri dan dapat mencegah faktor risiko kejadian stunting di masa mendatang. Metode yang digunakan dalam edukasi ini yakni metode ceramah dan tanya jawab interaktif. Setelah diadakan edukasi, terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan. Hal tersebut dapat dilihat dari peningkatan nilai posttest jika dibandingkan dengan nilai pretest. Hasil pretest menunjukkan rata-rata nilai sebesar 58,16 dan meningkat pada hasil posttest dengan rata-rata nilai 79,76. Berdasarkan hasil analisis mengenai perbedaan hasil rata-rata nilai menunjukkan nilai signifikan sebesar <0,0001 yang berarti terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna antara nilai pretest dan nilai posttest. Dengan adanya edukasi ini diharapkan siswa dapat menerapkan dan menyebarluaskan di lingkungan pergaulannya.

Published: February 2024

Purpose: Hyperuricemia (HU) is thought to be a risk factor in the development and progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). We sought the frequency of asymptomatic HU in advanced knee OA patients and whether it was related to systemic inflammation.

Materials and Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective study including patients with symptomatic stage 3/4 knee OA classified based on Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) system. Demographic data and serum uric acid (UA), hemogram parameters, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) were recorded. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII)=[(neutrophil count × platelet count)/lymphocyte count] were calculated. Patients with/without hyperuricemia were defined as Group 1 and Group 2, respectively. Demographic and laboratory data were compared between the groups.

Results: Hyperuricemia was present in 51 of 240 patients (21%). There was no significant difference between the groups based on age (Group1: 70.54±7.02, Group2: 68.63±6.29, p=0.07) and BMI (Group 1: 34 kg/m2 (27.7-41), Group2: 32 kg/m2 (25-51.5), p=0.107). NLR, PLR, and SII were similar between two groups (p=0.404, p=0.604, p=0.537). While there was no difference in ESR values between the two groups (p=0.051), CRP levels were found to be significantly higher in Group 1 (p=0.007). A positive correlation was detected between the levels of UA and CRP (rho=0.267*, p

Próclise em ambiente neutro e perda seletiva do clítico acusativo anafórico em peças de teatro brasileiras dos oitocentos
Authors: Martins Marco Antonio Rocha , Heerdt Camila da Mota
Published: February 2024

No quadro teórico da sintaxe diacrônica, neste artigo, investigamos a evolução da próclise em orações matrizes com fronteamento de constituintes, no ambiente sintático ([XP])[XP]V, correlacionado essa evolução a ordenação e realização do sujeito e à perda seletiva do acusativo anafórico na escrita brasileira oitocentista. A hipótese central é a de que, na escrita brasileira do século XIX, há evidências de uma gramática “perdida” do português, ou de uma língua do tipo-V2, sem restrições para inversão do sujeito e de sujeito nulo (pro-drop) consistente, como o Português Clássico (PCl). A próclise gerada pela gramática do Português Brasileiro (PB) nesse ambiente começa a aparecer com mais expressividade em textos escritos a partir da segunda metade do século XIX, evidenciando propriedades de uma língua do tipo-SV, com restrição para inversão do sujeito e de sujeito nulo parcial. A análise que aqui apresentamos traz evidências de que a escrita dos autores oitocentistas apresenta um sistema rico de clítico acusativos anafórico com um pequeno aumento na frequência do objeto nulo nos textos do final da primeira metade do século XIX, que pode estar associada à gramática do PC ou do Português Europeu (PE), o que pode ser um reflexo da gramática do PB. Os resultados de uma investigação desses fenômenos numa mesma amostra podem trazer elementos importantes para encontrar na escrita brasileira de 1800 reflexos da gramática do Português Clássico.

Categorization of mycotoxin producing fungi in leguminous crops and its eco-friendly management under in vitro condition
Authors: RANJAN SAKET , KUMAR SHRVAN , SRIVASHTAV VISHAL , CHAUDHARY VIRANDER
Published: February 2024

Four legume crops, viz., groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.), soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) of Kharif season, chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), and lentil (Lens esculentum L.) of Rabi season belonging to family Fabaceae were taken for investigation of seed-borne mycoflora. Since these are severely affected by many plant-pathogenic fungi at various stages of the whole life cycle, they were chosen for the study. Many post-harvest fungal pathogens cause severe loss by contaminating the grains with various mycotoxins and also deteriorate the nutritional quality of grains. The goal of any agricultural system is to increase the yield of crops as per the population demand. Various eco-friendly management practices were performed on highly mycotoxin-producing isolates of Aspergillus flavus and A. niger isolated from these grains. Four Trichoderma isolates (T2, T3, T4 and T5) were used as a biocontrol agent in the dual culture method to check antagonism between various Aspergillus isolates and Trichoderma isolates. It gave a satisfactory result in controlling mycelial growth. Achyranthes aspera leaf and stem phytoextract (10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%) was used as a botanical treatment in the well diffusion method, which successfully restricts the Aspergillus spp. mycelial growth.

Enhancing agricultural sustainability demands optimizing fertilizer usage for increased yield. Application of key nutrients like nitrogen, essential for plant vigour, sulphur aiding metabolic processes, and silicon fortifying plant resilience, stand vital. Strategically refining the application of these elements is crucial for augmenting crop output while ensuring ecological balance. So, the field experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University during Rabi season of the year 2022-2023 to study the effect of nitrogen, sulphur and silicon application on growth and yield of lowland rice. The experiments were laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. The treatment consisted of 100 % and 125 % nitrogen, 30 and 45 kg sulphur/ha and silicon with different combinations. Half dose of nitrogen and full dose of phosphorus and potassium were applied basally just before transplanting except control treatment. 25 kg N/ha supplied through urea according to Leaf Color Chart (LCC4) reading to the respective treatment plots. Among the different treatments tried, 125% RDN (50% N basal + LCC4 @ 25kg N/ha through Urea) + 45 kg S/ha (Sulphur through Gypsum) + 200 kg Si/ha (Silicon through Diatomaceous Earth) recorded the higher plant height (110.48 cm), LAI (6.74), CGR (9.20 g/m2/day), DMP (13441 kg/ha), number of tillers/m2 (567.18), number of panicles/m2 (406.93), number of filled grains/panicle (133.13), grain yield (6419 kg/ha) and straw yield (7935 kg/ha). The results indicated that, combined use of 125 % nitrogen, 45 kg S/ha, 200 kg Si/ha improved the yield attributes and yield of rice.
Effect of pre-flowering sprays of micronutrients on flowering, fruit set, fruit drop and yield of mango cv. Amrapali ​
Authors: DEB PRAHLAD , REZA SOHELI
Published: February 2024

Being the national fruit of India, mango possess a significant position in its history, tradition culture and economy. This delicious and nutritious fruit contains considerable amounts of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in abundance. The plant flowers in panicle at the end of winter and fruit drop is a common problem which is manifested due to several causes and micronutrient deficiency is one of major cause. The present study was conducted at the instructional farm of Institute of Agriculture, Visva Bharati, Sriniketan which comes under humid sub-tropical region of West Bengal, India during the year 2020 and 2021 to study the effect of pre-flowering sprays of zinc and boron on panicle emergence and panicle growth of mango cv. Amrapali. The experiment comprised of 9 treatment combinations of pre flowering sprays of zinc sulphate (ZnSO4, 7H2O) and borax (Na2B4O7, 10H2O) replicated 3 times as T1: Control (distilled water), T2: ZnSO4 @ 0.5%, T3: ZnSO4 @ 1.0%, T4: Borax @ 0.5%, T5: Borax @ 1.0%, T6: ZnSO4 @ 0.5% + Borax @ 0.5%, T7: ZnSO4 @ 0.5% + Borax @1.0%, T8: ZnSO4 @ 1.0% + Borax @ 0.5% and T9: ZnSO4 @ 1.0% + Borax @ 1.0%in Randomized Block Design (RBD). Highest number of total flowers and hermaphrodite flowers per panicle were recorded under ZnSO4 @ 1.0% + Borax @ 1.0% spray (T9). Apart from these, higher percentage of fruit set and lower fruit drop in all the stages have also been observed ZnSO4 @ 1.0% with Borax @ 1.0% treatment (T9). Same treatment also exhibited maximum yield in both the years. Thus, foliar application of ZnSO4 @ 1.0% and Borax @ 1.0% can be used at pre-flowering stage in mango (cv. Amrapali) for good flowering, high fruit set and less fruit drop.

In vitro propagated banana plants are steadily becoming the planting material of choice because of disease free, uniformity and the possibility of rapid multiplication. The present investigation was carried out at the tissue culture laboratory, Department of Horticulture, School of Agricultural Sciences, Nagaland University, Medziphema campus during the year 2019-2022. Data recorded for different parameters viz. days to greening, days required for multiple buds’ initiation, number of multiple buds produced per explant and length of multiple buds after 30 days were subjected to completely randomized design (CRD). The present study revealed the importance of various carbon sources and their role in micropropagation of banana through shoot tip culture. The minimum days required for root initiation were observed in root induction media (RIM) supplemented with 30g glucose. Rooting percentage (%), number of roots per shoot and length of longest roots (cm) after 30 days was seen in RIM supplemented with table sugar at 40g, 30g and 20g respectively. Meanwhile maximum average length of shoot (cm) after 30 days was observed in RIM supplemented with 40g glucose and highest number of leaves per plantlets was recorded in RIM supplemented with 30g sucrose. The results indicate the significance of carbon sources in micropropagation of banana. They improved plant regeneration and facilitated rapid multiplication of disease and virus free banana plantlets.

Marking 70th anniversary of the Armistice Agreement and ROK-US alliance in 2023, this article aims to look back on the development of the alliance and contextualize Yoon Suk Yeol and Biden administration’s recent efforts in strengthening the alliance. In particular, this article focuses on mapping strategic continuity as well as changes embedded in Yoon administration’s ‘global comprehensive strategic alliance.’ This article also delves into strategic implications and progress in Yoon administration’s efforts to promote ‘conventional-nuclear integration(CNI)’ in strengthening US’s extended deterrence commitments. The article is structured as follows. First, building upon previous literatures on the ROK-US alliance, the article analyzes the impact of recent Trump administration on the cohesion of the ROK-US alliance, and how current Yoon-Biden administration has worked to reverse the effects. Second, the article highlights how ROK-US alliance envisions horizontal and vertical deepening of the alliance under the strategic concept of global comprehensive strategic alliance. Third, the article delves into the evolution of ROK-US extended deterrence and implications of CNI. Lastly, the article concludes with alliance’s tasks ahead, with particular emphasis on possible return of Trump administration and its implications on the alliance.

Purpose: The ability to concentrate urine becomes an important index in determining nocturnal enuresis (NE) treatment. The aim of our study was to investigate first-morning urine osmolality (Uosm) changes at the end of treatment compared to before treatment in children with NE.Methods: A total of 71 children with NE were divided into two groups according to the level of first-morning Uosm before treatment: high group (≥800 mOsm/kg) and low group (<800 mOsm/kg). Baseline parameters were obtained from uroflowmetry, frequency volume charts for at least 2 days, and a questionnaire for lower urinary tract symptoms. All patients were basically treated with standard urotherapy and medication. The first-morning Uosm was measured twice, before treatment and at the end of treatment.Results: The response rate was higher in the low group after 3 months of treatment than in the high group (P=0.041). However, there was no difference between the two groups at the end of the treatment. In the high group, the first-morning Uosm at the end of treatment did not show a significant change compared to before treatment. In contrast, the first-morning Uosm increased in the low group at the end of treatment (P<0.001). However, it was still lower than that of the high group (P=0.007).Conclusions: The ability to concentrate nocturnal urine was improved at the end of treatment compared to before treatment in the low Uosm NE children. NE improved faster in the low Uosm group before treatment than in the high group.

Published: February 2024

Colleague violence in nursing, identified as bullying, represents a significant issue. This cross-sectional and descriptive study aims to investigate the prevalence of workplace bullying among nurses and how these perceptions of bullying vary according to their individual-professional characteristics, frequency of support from managers and colleagues, and the bullying situations encountered. The study was conducted on 323 nurses, with data collected through an online survey using a descriptive information form and the Negative Act Questionnaire-Revised (NAQ-R). Descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U, and Kruskal Wallis H tests were utilized for the analysis in SPSS. The findings indicate that the mean score of nurses on the NAQ-R is 35.61±12.34. Significant differences were found in the scale mean scores based on age, type of institution, unit worked, shift type, frequency of support from managers and colleagues, and the bullying situations encountered (p
Discovering social learning ecosystems during clinical clerkship from United States medical students’ feedback encounters: a content analysis

Published: February 2024

Purpose: We examined United States medical students’ self-reported feedback encounters during clerkship training to better understand in situ feedback practices. Specifically, we asked: Who do students receive feedback from, about what, when, where, and how do they use it? We explored whether curricular expectations for preceptors’ written commentary aligned with feedback as it occurs naturalistically in the workplace.Methods: This study occurred from July 2021 to February 2022 at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. We used qualitative survey-based experience sampling to gather students’ accounts of their feedback encounters in 8 core specialties. We analyzed the who, what, when, where, and why of 267 feedback encounters reported by 11 clerkship students over 30 weeks. Code frequencies were mapped qualitatively to explore patterns in feedback encounters.Results: Clerkship feedback occurs in patterns apparently related to the nature of clinical work in each specialty. These patterns may be attributable to each specialty’s “social learning ecosystem”—the distinctive learning environment shaped by the social and material aspects of a given specialty’s work, which determine who preceptors are, what students do with preceptors, and what skills or attributes matter enough to preceptors to comment on.Conclusion: Comprehensive, standardized expectations for written feedback across specialties conflict with the reality of workplace-based learning. Preceptors may be better able—and more motivated—to document student performance that occurs as a natural part of everyday work. Nurturing social learning ecosystems could facilitate workplace-based learning such that, across specialties, students acquire a comprehensive clinical skillset appropriate for graduation.
Development of Electrolyte with Enhanced Corrosion Resistance for Sn Electroplating on Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors

Capacitors not only store and release electricity but selectively conduct alternating current. Among the various types of capacitors, multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) have been widely used in automotive, smartphone, and wearable devices because of their compact size and high capacitance capabilities. In this study, we have developed an electrolyte for tin electroplating on multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) to address the barium leaching issue at the termination points of the MLCCs. This issue has been effectively mitigated by introducing NaHSO4 into the conventional tin plating electrolyte as a corrosion inhibitor. This addition facilitates a rapid reaction between the dissolved barium ions and NaHSO4, resulting in the formation of a thin passivation layer on the surface of the MLCC. The BaSO4 passivation layer effectively prohibits excessive leaching of barium ions from the glass in MLCCs, thereby maintaining chip insulation resistance and preventing crack formation. However, the chemical reaction of NaHSO4 and the formation of the passivation layer can lead to the generation of tin hydroxide precipitates due to pH fluctuations. To address this issue, we increase the amount of complexing agent from 100 g/L to 130 g/L. This adjustment enhanced the ability of tin ions to form stronger complexes, thereby enabling stable electrodeposition on the termination of MLCC. Consequently, the final electrolyte for Sn electroplating (denoted as LW-3) simultaneously achieves corrosion resistance and practical working efficiency, resulting in a uniform 5.4 μmthick tin plating layer with outstanding solderability, and high temperature/humidity stability.
Identification of Solvent Extraction of Au(III) by Cyanex 272 from Hydrochloric Acid Solutions

Published: February 2024

Bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid (Cyanex 272) is known to selectively extract Au(III) from dilute to concentrated hydrochloric acid solutions. Therefore, Cyanex 272 can be employed in the separation of Au(III) from the hydrochloric acid leaching solutions of secondary resources containing gold metal. This work identified the extraction reaction of Au(III) by Cyanex 272 from the hydrochloric acid solutions. Au(III) extraction data was obtained by varying the concentrations of HCl (1-9 M), Au(III) (0.1-1 g/L) and Cyanex 272 (0.01-0.1 M). Among the three variables, it was found that HCl concentration had the most pronounced effect on the extraction of Au(III), which increased with HCl concentration. The extraction reaction of Au(III) by Cyanex 272 is proposed by applying slope analysis method to the extraction data. Comparison of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results for the fresh and loaded Cyanex 272 revealed no change in the chemical structure of Cyanex 272 after the extraction. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic data showed a change in the characteristic peaks of the phosphorus atom of Cyanex 272, indicating the formation of a coordinative bond between Au(III) and Cyanex 272. FT-IR and NMR data together with application of slope analysis clearly verified that molecular Cyanex 272 takes parts in the extraction of Au(III).
Introduction: Scotland’s ‘Bardocracy’
Authors: Malgrati Paul
Published: February 2024

The introduction explains why Robert Burns’s legacy still matters in contemporary It begins with Prime Minister Theresa May’s inaugural Burns Supper, at No.10 Downing Street in January 2018, addressing Burns’s complex, enduring presence in Scottish cultural politics. Discussing the constitutional influence and authority of ‘Scotland’s National Bard’ over a stateless nation which, until July 1999, was bereft of a parliament, this chapter also provides a summary of Burns’s own, ambiguous politics. From Jacobite nostalgia to Jacobin republicanism and red-coated loyalism, I argue that Burns’s equivocations paved the way for his heated, conflicted reception. This thesis is substantiated by pre-existing scholarship on Burns’s nineteenth-century afterlife, at a time when the enfranchised, Scottish bourgeoisie rejected radical interpretations of the poet and shaped Burns’s myth in its own image. This unionist, liberal-conservative approach to Burns, which became the consensus of the late Victorian Burns Federation (the leading association of the Burns movement), would come under fierce criticism as the Great War shook the foundations of British identity. The present section justifies an interdisciplinary, intertextual approach to study such a rupture in Burns’s afterlife, emphasising uses of the poet by both political parties and individual writers, all equally committed to politicising the bard’s image whilst extracting fruitful polemics from his complicated legacy.
Explosive Memory: Burns Enters the Twentieth Century (1914–1919)
Authors: Malgrati Paul
Published: February 2024

This section introduces the main political actors seeking control over Burns’s legacy in early twentieth-century Scotland. Following a ‘Prologue’ narrating the Suffragettes’ failed arson attempt at Burns’s Cottage in July 1914, it explains how early socialist and feminist attempts to reclaim Burns were thwarted by the Great War, as the poet’s legacy became requisitioned by army propagandists on the Home Front, in the state, church, press, and Burns clubs. This jingoistic redirection of Burns’s Victorian myth remained dominant until the second part of the war, when growing pacifism encouraged radicals to produce an updated, combative portrait of Burns that would shape left-wing interpretations of the poet for decades to come.
The Bardic Politics of Scottish Devolution (1979–1999)
Authors: Malgrati Paul
Published: February 2024

Chapter 7 stresses the ‘bardic’ component of Scottish devolution. It analyses Burns’s reception in 1980-90s Scotland, at a time when the indigenous figure of the bard —as a mouthpiece of stateless nationhood— appeared a convenient paragon in the quest for a Scottish Parliament. Seen mainly as a class poet in post-war years, Burns became an increasingly constitutional symbol, framing attempts by Scottish political and literary actors to represent Scotland’s proletarian, anti-Thatcherite identity. These developments, particularly significant during the commemorations of the Bicentenary of Burns’s death, in 1996, climaxed three years later, in 1999, when the poet’s lyrics inaugurated the new Scottish Parliament. Overall, I argue that by the end of the twentieth century Burns’s contradictory politics had become a fitting symbol for the constitutional ‘half-way’ house of devolution.
