The narrator, no fan of child protective services, gets a few friends to agree to head out to Lydia’s house to clean it and get the government off her back. When they arrive, they find a mobile home covered in cat urine and feces, no hot water, and a pile of trash four feet high in the front yard. After several hours of cleaning, the narrator and her friends get dizzy from the toxic fumes. They give up on cleaning, and leave. The narrator is able to convince Lydia the best course of action is to have her daughter move to California and live with their better-off relatives until she turns eighteen. It’s not exactly a classic success story, but the narrator tells herself, not every story is.

Published: January 2024

Are the pious loved by the gods because they are pious, or are they pious because they are loved by the gods?” In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Professor Adamson and the narrator discuss Euthyphro’s dilemma. The narrator is invited by her professor to follow her into the woods and to meet a reclusive revolutionary leader. The professor, and the revolutionary group, want to overthrow the government because voting rights, and other civil rights, have been severely restricted by the government. The legal ability to change the government through voting is a “near impossibility.” On her way to meet the leader, the narrator meets an angel who informs her that the future revolution will fail, and many will be hurt in the process. The angel tells the narrator she must kill her professor to help humanity. The narrator is unsure what to do and, during their walk, discusses the dilemma she is in; a practical application of Euthyphro’s dilemma. The story ends in the final moment, knife in hand, when the narrator is about to decide what she will do.
Lahirnya Negara Islam Sekuler Turki dan Ide Pembaharuan Mustafa Kemal Attaturk
Authors: Nursalam Nursalam , Yunus Abd Rahim , Susmihara Susmihara
Published: January 2024

This article discusses the History of the Islamic State of Turkey and the Reform Ideas of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The birth of a modern state is derived from modernity ideas. The interaction between nations contributes to the transmission of ideas about the modern state. Similarly, in Turkey, the idea of the modern state in Europe was transmitted through Mustafa Kemal. As a figure who underwent military education in France, specifically at Picardie Manuvers, he had the opportunity to absorb reform ideas, leading him to transform Turkey into a modern state. Mustafa Kemal saw that the Ottoman Turkish government was not an ideal type of modern governance. The Sultan had absolute power and was not constrained by laws. There was no parliament to control the Sultan's authority. Additionally, the Sultan was powerless against Western influence in bilateral relations, as the West gradually dominated the Ottoman Turkish territory. Subsequently, Mustafa Kemal established an anti-government movement through his organization, Vatan, and boldly resisted the West, successfully reclaiming Turkey's territory from the Allies. Mustafa became renowned among the people and was considered a hero, receiving support and sympathy from the Turkish population.
Pewaris Al-Qur’an Presfektif Mufassir Nusantara (Analisis Surah Fathir Ayat 32)
Authors: Simamora Irfan Mansyur
Published: January 2024

In Q.S Fathir verse 32 it is stated that Allah bequeathed the Koran to the servants he chose using the phrase Isthofa, namely the best servant among other servants. However, it is also explained that among them there are those who oppress themselves (Dzholimul linafsih), there are those who are middle (Muqtasidah), and there are those who do all good deeds first (Saabiqum Bilkhairot) with the permission of Allah SWT. According to some Indonesian commentators, including Buya Hamka, Quraish Shihab and Hasbi Ash Siddiqey, the heirs of the Qur'an are the people of Muhammad SAW who believe in Allah and His Messenger. The dzholim are the ummah who carry out Allah's prohibitions contained in the Qur'an but do not reach the point of disbelief, the muqtasidah are the ummah who sometimes carry out Allah's commands and sometimes leave them, while the saabiqum bilkhairot are the ummah who first do all good deeds with Allah's permission swt. The three Mufassir of the archipelago agreed that as long as the three groups did not associate partners with Allah and His Messenger, they would still receive Allah's grace even though sometimes there were those among them who oppressed themselves, because Allah had glorified the ummah of Muhammad beyond the glory obtained by the previous ummah. And these three groups are the best servants chosen by Allah SWT as inheritors of the Qur’an.
Fizica simplificată
Authors:   Romanian Academy, Sfetcu Nicolae
Published: January 2024

O introducere în teoriile şi conceptele, forţele fundamentale şi particule, metode şi tabele utilizate în fizică, subdomenii şi domenii ştiinţifice înrudite, cu accent pe înţelegerea fenomenelor fizice. Fizica clasică se ocupă, în general, cu materia și energia la scară normală de observație, în timp ce o mare parte a fizicii moderne se ocupă de comportamentul materiei și energiei în condiții extreme sau pe o scară foarte mare sau foarte mică. De exemplu, pentru fizica atomică și nucleară contează scara cea mai mică la care elementele chimice pot fi identificate. Fizica particulelor elementare are o scară chiar mai mică, deoarece se referă la unitățile de bază ale materiei; această ramură a fizicii este, de asemenea, cunoscută sub numele de fizica energiilor înalte, din cauza energiilor extrem de ridicate necesare pentru a produce mai multe tipuri de particule, în acceleratoare de particule mari. La această scară, de obicei, noțiunile obișnuite de spațiu, timp, materie și energie nu mai sunt valabile. Cele două teorii principale ale fizicii moderne prezintă o imagine diferită a conceptelor de spațiu, timp, și materie, faţă de fizica clasică. Teoria cuantică studiază natura mai degrabă discretă decât continuă a multor fenomene la nivel atomic și subatomic, și aspectele complementare ale particulelor și undelor în descrierea unor astfel de fenomene. Teoria relativității studiază descrierea fenomenelor care au loc într-un cadru de referință, care este în mișcare faţă de un observator. Teoria specială a relativității studiază mișcarea relativ uniformă în linie dreaptă, iar teoria generală a relativității mișcarea accelerată și legătura sa cu gravitația. Atât teoria cuantică cât și teoria relativității îşi găsesc aplicații în toate domeniile fizicii moderne.

Structural and Functional Analysis of Bansag Narratives in Barangay Maslog, Legazpi City, Albay Philippines
Authors: Morato Ria Charo , Besmonte Edgardo
Published: January 2024

This paper collected, transcribed, translated, and analyzed the folk narratives on bansag in Barangay Maslog, Legazpi City. It employed the Labovian method to examine the narratives’ structures and Bascom’s functionalism approach to determine the functions of the narratives. This paper concludes that the narrator’s storytelling technique greatly affects the structural pattern of the folk narratives. The completeness or incompleteness of the structure of the narratives will never diminish the essential nature and functions of folk narratives.  Folk narratives over time will always be an important oral tradition. They still served their purpose in the community. However, folk narratives as a form of oral literature are under threat since many details of the narratives diminished or were lost through oral transmission from generation to generation. Since oral narratives are on the verge of extinction, this paper recommends incorporating these narratives into the curriculum to safeguard and preserve the oral narratives.
Dampak inflasi terhadap indeks sektoral di Indonesia
Authors: Glorya Paquita
Published: January 2024

At the beginning of 2023, the inflation in Indonesia tends to increase in February and tends to decrease from March to April. Based on the phenomenon, this study aims to determine the relationship between changes in the inflation rate and returns from market indices. This study conducted observations from January 2 to April 28 2023 with a sample of indices in the capital market, namely IDXBASIC, IDXCYCLIC, IDXENERGY, IDXFINANCE, IDXHEALTH, IDXINDUST, IDXINFRA, IDXNONCYC, IDXPROPERT, IDXTECHNO, and IDXTRANS. The analysis results show that IDXINDUST, IDXNONCYC, and IDXTRANS have positive average market returns in the range from January to April 2023. At the lowest point of inflation in April 2023, except for IDXFINANCE which is zero, the average market returns from IDXHEALTH, IDXINDUST, IDXINFRA, IDXPROPERT, and IDXTRANS tend to provide positive performance. The findings of this study also imply that the inflation rate from January to April 2023 does not have a significant relationship with market returns in Indonesia.
Everything Changes, Nothing Dies.
Authors:   , Stinson Olivia
Published: January 2024

My recent work directly responds to my current state of being. The past three years have °been the peak of the exploration within myself, learning the capacity of my mind. I’ve spent my time in the heat of trauma, filled with anger and resentment. I’ve spent time in a steady state of confusion, wondering who exactly I am and who I want to be. I am in a constant state of change, thinking deeply about my actions and how I can improve on processing the correlating emotions. Creating a body of work during times when listening to conversations within the self can feel so vulnerable, but also alleviating. I have learned to share my world with the people who surround me in hopes that we can connect and feel less alone in our troubles. Clay has been meditative through this stretch of time as it teaches through the process as well as the final product. Starting with semi-coarse clay, I can feel what its made up of and the integrity it will bring to my sculpture. The fast manipulation of the material allows me to flesh out thoughts and ideas with ease. When creating, I make work in “the heat of the moment”, shaping thoughts that weigh heavy on my mind at that current moment. I enjoy leaving the maker's mark on the piece for aesthetics and for the humanity of straying away from perfection, especially in the task of healing. The pieces are surfaced with washes of underglazes and stains, layered on in a meditative fashion; taking the time to see where each color lands and how it emphasizes the tenderness and fragility of the human body. Firing to cone 6 (2232°F) burns the chemical colorants in the underglaze, creating a somber color palette. The end result shows a figure who embodies these thoughts, experiences and lessons learned; becoming a physical representation of change, adaptation, and difficult conversations. When formulating ideas, I am inspired by artists such as Andrea Keys Connell, Nancy Kubale and painter Julie Speed, through their use of fluid methods and engaging compositions. I use the figure and supporting objects to tell a story deeper than the eye can see. I put great importance on creating ambiguous figures and compositions so that the viewer can connect with the artwork and draw out their own meaning and healing. ‘Til Death Do Us Part alludes to the experiences one may go through and how it alters their course of life. We become bonded to our trauma as it sets the tone for future interactions. As we get to know this damage, we learn to either become one with the hurt, or to heal and grow. We will always change, but the deep mental wound will never leave us. As an artist, I will be on a continual quest to explore the connection between our lived experience and how it impacts our course of life for the future. How can we differ in our trauma yet support each other and empathize with one another. We lose touch of our innermost selves when we can not identify the grim in ourselves and others, and act on being progressive in making the steps towards a more understanding and connective life.

Published: January 2024

Littoral cell splenic angioma is a rare tumor, especially in the pediatric age group. Patients may experience mild chronic abdominal pain, that does not improve with usual treatments, and is mostly asymptomatic, a challenge for the pediatrics. This article describes the clinical features of a 10-year-old female pediatric patient who had intermittent chronic abdominal pain, diagnosed with littoral cell splenic angioma. This kind of tumor is usually an incidental finding due to its mostly asymptomatic or nonspecific presentation. Splenectomy is the choice due to the possibility of malignant evolution.
Transformation of the urban planning institutional structure in post-socialist transition: The example of the Sava Waterfront in Belgrade
Authors: Maruna Marija , Teofilović Vesna , Milovanović-Rodić Danijela
Published: January 2024

The article researches the transformation of the urban planning institutional structure in the period of the post-socialist transition in Serbia. The goal is to provide an insight into the path of how urban planning has been modified due to structural changes in the socio-economic and political system in the period from 2000 to the present day. The focus of the research is the change in the role and position of institutions in decision-making processes on urban development, and especially the instruments used in those processes. Through a chronological review of the urban plans of New Belgrade blocks on the Sava Quay, several aspects of the planning process are observed: (a) changes in the planned uses of areas, (b) changes in the participation of institutions in the planning process and (c) changes in the instruments used in the planning process. The results of the research show that during the two decades of the post-socialist transition, urban planning was transformed in the direction of: (a) becoming a key instrument for the redistribution of spatial resources in favor of the interests of private capital; (b) the centralization of decision-making - vertically through the expanded influence of higher levels of government, and horizontally by the concentration of power within the group of decision-makers at the city level; and (c) the elaboration of decision-making mechanisms at the very end of the planning process and within a narrow circle of city government institutions, using the institute of amendments.
Rare earth elements application in agriculture
Authors: Kastori Rudolf , Putnik-Delić Marina , Maksimović Ivana
Published: January 2024

Rare earth elements (REEs) are a group of chemical elements that include lanthanides as well as scandium and yttrium. Today REEs are used in various industries, such as agriculture where they are used as micro fertilizers and feed additives, the latter being used in medicine as well. There is no indication that REEs might be essential for any form of life. At lower concentrations, they can favorably influence certain physiological processes of plants (enzyme activity, hormone content, photosynthesis, seed germination, plant growth, etc.). They may induce an increase in some antioxidant systems and thereby increase the tolerance of plants to environmental stressors caused by high concentrations of heavy metals, herbicides, lack of water and essential nutrients, UV radiation and oxidative stress. Thus, their favorable effect was documented regarding the yield of cultivated species as well as the effect of their chemical composition on the content of vitamin C, soluble sugars and essential elements, reduction of the concentration of toxic heavy metals, improvement of the quality of wheat kernel for different uses. REEs have been commonly used as feed additives in organic and inorganic forms in livestock production. The available literature on the use of REEs as feed additives in livestock suggests positive outcomes (affected various physiological processes, increase in milk, egg and meat production, promoted growth and reproductive performance), but further investigation and results are needed before extending their use to zootechnical purposes.
Factors affecting milk fat variability in primiparous Simmental cows: Housing methods, origin, and calving season
Authors: Nikšić Dragan , Mićić Nenad , Ostojić-Andrić Dušica , Perišić Predrag , Lazarević Marina , Petričević Veselin , Samolovac Ljiljana
Published: January 2024

Milk fat content stands out as a crucial production trait in cows, and this study delves into its variability based on various factors. The research investigated how the housing method (large farm or individual producers), origin (domestic-rearing or imported cows), and calving season collectively impact this trait. Cows reared on the farm exhibited a higher milk fat content compared to those raised by individual producers. Additionally, primiparous cows from domestic rearing displayed lower milk fat content than their counterparts of imported origin. Among primiparous cows on the farm, those calving in the summer and autumn produced the highest milk fat content. Conversely, primiparous cows calving in the spring season and raised by individual producers recorded the lowest milk fat content. The statistical analysis revealed a highly significant influence of calving season, with a noteworthy interaction among housing method and origin on the observed trait. The significance ranged from statistically highly significant (P ≤ 0.01) to statistically very highly significant (P ≤ 0.001).

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Many professions in modem society are being greatly challenged, and the work productivity of employees is of great interest for conducting good business. Job satisfaction is certainly one of the factors that influence work productivity. As a multidimensional and complicated construct, job satisfaction includes internal and external dimensions. Professional dissatisfaction is often cited by healthcare workers who are exposed toincreased risk primarily due to stress, burnout at work, maintaining a balance between one's private life and work, as well as due to the increasing burden of diseases and lack of manpower. Objective: To examine job satisfaction among physiotherapists, their stress levels, work productivity, and quality o f life. Methodology: The research was done as a cross-sectional study. Using the Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, the Work Stress Questionnaire, the Working Ability Index, and the Quality o f Life Questionnaire, we surveyed physiotherapists of both sexes, who are aged 20 and over and employed at the "Dr. Miroslav Zotovic" Rehabilitation Clinic in Belgrade. Results: 87 respondents with an average age of 43.20 years participated in the research. The average work experience of the respondents is 18.68 years, while the respondents have spent an average of 12.61 years in their current workplace. The respondents expressed the greatest satisfaction with the attitude of the patients towards them, as well as with the direct cooperation with colleagues. The lowest satisfaction was related to the financial compensation for one's work. The results thus indicate that inadequate financial compensation, inadequate material resources for work, and an inadequate work space are the most common stressors. Conclusion: Physiotherapists are satisfied with their work. The greatest satisfaction is reflected through the attitude o f patients towards physiotherapists, as well as through the cooperation with colleagues.

Authors: Jevtić Radoje
Published: January 2024

Introduction/Aim: This research had three aims. The first aim was to show the review of noted digital devices in the life and work of pupils and students, their absence in the life and work of pupils and students so as to show the way of use of some devices. The second aim was to show possibility of exposure to digital violence for elementary and secondary schools' pupils and students. The third aim was to show the presence and influence of digital violence between pupils and students. Methods: The survey method on population of 1800 respondents (600 pupils from elementary schools, 600 pupils from secondary schools and 600 students from University in Nis). Results: Obtained results showed great influence of modem digital devices in the life and work of respondents, particularly mobile phones (every respondent had a mobile phone). The exposure to digital violence of respondents was very high (more than 80% of respondents used social networks with different degrees of exposure). Digital violence exists between respondents in a high degree (more than 70% of respondents were harassed by e-mail, phone or social networks). Conclusion: Digital violence presents serious problem for respondents, and it is in the most cases conducted by mobile phone.
Biohacking in competitive swimming
Authors: Obradović Aleksandra
Published: January 2024

Prosperity and progress in competitive swimming can be observed as the results of acquired knowledge about human movement in the water environment. It is based on learning and, regardless of the period of development, with the development of science and technology in a broader sense, a significant causality can be seen. The development of competitive swimming in the new technological and informational environment takes place through the intensification of the swimmer's self-awareness process, whereby the swimmer gains knowledge about personal characteristics and the effects of the training program, in the direction of efficiency in further process of individualization of his practice. Self-awareness is a cognitive process that is at the core of an athlete's progress today. Its essence can also be presented as "hacking your own body and mind" (biohacker). By hacking (selfhacking), the swimmer learns about the reactions of his organic systems, recognizes their reactions and anticipates the course of expected adaptations to various training and competition stimuli. Based on the information acquired on that way, the swimmer has the opportunity to understand the factors of his functional system, as well as to direct them to a higher level of functioning through self-awareness, which will enable him to progress towards a better "version" of himself. Therefore, the subject of this paper is biohacking as a concept - a trend in training and competition practice, during which, with hacks, we intend to encourage the effectiveness and efficiency of organic systems, and the overall productivity of swimmers. The aim of the paper is to "shed light" on the swimmer's self-hacking as a growing step in the process of learning and self-awareness, during which they acquires, analyzes and learns from direct perception and during which the swimmer's cognitive skills are developed through a technological and digital environment.
Original scientific article posthumous reproduction: Life after death?
Authors: Barać Ivana
Published: January 2024

This paper reviews the issue of posthumous reproduction at the international and domestic levels. The overview covers the legal systems of the United Kingdom, as a country that allows posthumous reproduction, and France, as a country that prohibits posthumous reproduction. Subsequently, Serbian legal provisions, which forbid posthumous reproduction, are analyzed. The provisions are analyzed through the lens of the recent private initiative submitted to Serbian national authorities. Although infertility is a great obstacle in life, the proposed amendments present are one-sided as they mainly focus on fulfilling the individual's wish to become a parent, rather than on creating a legal framework. As a result, and bearing in mind that no consensus has been reached regarding the issue of permissibility of posthumous reproduction, the author determines that Serbian legislator is not at fault-at least for the time being.
Effectiveness of the joint investigation team as an instrument for gathering and exchange of evidence in cross-border investigations
Authors: Lukić-Radović Maja , Manojlović-Nedeljković Milena
Published: January 2024

This paper primarily considers the legal framework for the formation and functioning of a joint investigation team at the level of the European Union, with specific reference to the consequences that these rules may have on shaping the legislative framework of the Republic of Serbia in this area. In analyzing the Serbian normative framework, the authors particularly focus on practical considerations in the process of setting up of a joint investigation team and the original elements of this progressive tool of international cooperation, established and funded by Eurojust (EU Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation). The second focal point of this paper is the support that may be provided by Eurojust in the process of formation and functioning of joint investigative teams, whose participants include both EU Member States and non-EU countries. In this regard, the authors consider the cooperation of the Republic of Serbia with Eurojust and present the opportunities for further strengthening of international cooperation with the EU Member States Union after signing the Cooperation Agreement between Eurojust and the Republic of Serbia in 2019. The advantages of this instrument of international cooperation are illustrated by referring to successful examples of joint investigation teams supported by Eurojust.
Locus standi of non-privileged applicants in EU annulment actions
Authors: Đorđević-Aleksovski Sanja
Published: January 2024

The aim of this paper is to analyze the circumstances under which private parties (natural and legal persons) can have a legal standing in annulment actions in EU Law. The limitations imposed on these private parties justifiably mark them as non-privileged applicants. Besides proving the legal grounds for initiating an annulment action and the compliance with the short preclusion period, two additional conditions must be cumulatively met: the non-privileged applicants must prove that they are directly and individually affected by the challenged act. The latter requirement, which is more disputable and difficult to meet, is additionally made more stringent in the jurisprudence of the EU Court of Justice. Therefore, the central part of the paper focuses on the analysis and criticism of the Plaumann test as an extremely strictly set application test for acquiring a legal standing by private parties. In light of understanding EU law as a comprehensive legal order including a complete system of protection of individual rights, the paper provides an overview of arguments and counter-arguments for a prospective reform of the Plaumman test. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the limiting conditions for locus standi of non-privileged applicants, as well as the occasional unavailability of legal remedies before national courts, are the shortcomings of EU law as an order that strives to achieve the rule of law and bring the EU closer to its citizens. In the past decades, the Plaumann test served as a tool for effectively denying the legal standing to private parties. Although the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) has made some progress in the direction of liberalizing the acquisition of locus standi, it is only the case in a limited and narrowly defined number of situations.
Removing legal deficiencies of final judgments
Authors: Miladinović-Stefanović Dušica , Knežević Saša
Published: January 2024

Once a court renders the final judgment, it sets in motion the procedure for the execution of the decision stated in the formal/operative part of the final judgment (disposition). The final judgment is the result of a meticulous factual reconstruction of the committed criminal act and the application of criminal law norms to the established facts. Being rendered in the final stage of the conducted criminal proceedings, the final judgment is the pinnacle of the institutional response to the suspicion that the defendant's conduct has satisfied the essential elements of a specific criminal offence. The right to file an appeal against the final judgment of the first-instance court ensures the judicial control of legality and regularity of the final judgment rendered in the first-instance proceedings. The appellate court decision is final, legally binding and enforceable. The harmful effects arising from the execution of a final and binding judgment (or legal deficiencies stemming thereof) may be removed only by a subsequent decision of the supreme court rendered in the proceeding initiated by lodging a claim for extraordinary legal remedies, in compliance with the legally prescribed procedure. The final judgment of a lower court may be annulled for factual or legal (substantive or procedural) shortcomings. This paper examines the deficiencies pertaining to the legal grounds of the final judgment.
Crypto as an object of contractual obligation under the Regulation on Markets in Crypto Asset (MICA) and the Digital Assets Act (DAA)
Authors: Cvetković Mihajlo
Published: January 2024

The paper examines the legal status and treatment of crypto assets in the context of contractual obligations. The analysis begins by considering the evolution from cryptocurrencies to crypto-goods, with special reference to definitions and terms used in the context of private law transactions. Then, the author focuses on the contractual parties under the EU Regulation on Markets in Crypto Asset (MiCa, 2023) and the Serbian Digital Assets Act (DA Act, 2020), where crypto-assets are predominantly treated as investment assets. Special attention is given to e-money tokens in the context of monetary obligations, as well as to Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that have not yet been covered by regulations. The paper also refers to the contracting of crypto services, exploring how contractual relationships are formed and regulated, and elaborating on legal transactions based on contracts within the blockchain environment and tokenization. In conclusion, the paper draws attention to the problematic terminology used in the Serbian Digital Assets Act (2020), stating that the term "digital asset" (srb. "digitalna imovina") is too broad and inadequate, and proposes the term "crypto asset" (srb. "kripto dobro") which is defined through two key elements: the private nature of the good and the use of cryptography within the Digital Ledger Technology (DLT). This paper correlates the general theory of contract law and nominate contracts when the contractor's performance is in crypto.

Anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-immunoglobulin G (IgG)-associated disease (MOGAD) is an immune-mediated central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating disorder that has been widely recognized in recent years. Herein, we describe the case of a 27-year-old woman with MOGAD following an upper respiratory infection. The patient was hospitalized for quadriparesis and drowsiness. Brain and spine MRI revealed abnormalities in multiple sites. She was initially considered to have infectious encephalomyelitis or acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). This case report of a young woman who presented with ADEM that led to a MOGAD diagnosis after upper respiratory infection can potentially aid in elucidating the pathophysiology of this disease.

Generation of Green Carbon Nanomaterials from Biomass Pyrolysis for the Production of Biofuel and Bioenergy
Authors: Jawahar Dr.C.P. , Pillai Dr. Anu G
Published: January 2024

The need to find a Renewable Energy Resource (RER) with significant potential has been brought to light by the fact that petroleum and natural gas are being used up to their full capacity, reducing the amount of energy produced globally. The issues relating to the preparation, hydrolysis with enzymes, and biomass culture processes that must be completed before bioenergy may be produced are still being addressed via ongoing initiatives. Because nanotechnology offers unique active areas for multiple responses and operations, it can overcome the difficulties posed by these biomass sources. Pyrolysis may be used to produce chemicals and RER from biomass sustainably. However, the process's high production expenses prevent it from being widely used. This approach's long-term reliability and financial viability may be greatly increased by fabricating high-quality, active carbon nanoparticles using waste heat and renewable progenitors. This paper suggests using Biomass Pyrolysis to Generate Green Carbon Nanomaterials (BP-GGCN) for biofuel and bioenergy production. The suggested method makes the most of biomass pyrolysis's financial gains and sustainability by producing superior Three-Dimensional Graphene Bubbles (3DGBs) using residual pyrolysis gases and thermal waste. The resultant 3DGBs work well in energy storage and ecologically sensitive applications. According to a life-cycle study, the current approach has less overall effect than the traditional Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) technique on human well-being, environmental systems, and resources. The specific qualities of this GGCN help biofuels, biodiesel, enzymes, and microbial fuel cells work better.
