In a global context characterized by severe environmental problems and increasing resource scarcity, waste represents both a challenge and an opportunity. This study aims to demonstrate with a real case the potential for optimizing the waste valorization action attainable through the synergic application of different treatments to residues of equally different nature and origin. In particular, bio-chemical (dark fermentation), chemical-physical (selective leaching) and thermo-chemical (hydrothermal carbonization) treatments were applied for the integrated valorization of whey from sheep cheese production and Hi-Tech waste (discarded electrical and electronic equipment). The treatments were applied at a laboratory scale on real samples of these residues. The organic acids used for selective leaching of valuable metals from Hi-Tech waste were obtained by dark fermentation of the cheese whey, while hydrothermal carbonization was used to convert the waste from previous stages into hydrochar feasible as solid fuel or soil improver. The dark fermentation tests have highlighted the possibility of recovering ≈ 100 g of organic acids from 1 L of whey; furthermore, it is also possible to recover bio-hydrogen depending on the operating conditions applied and the type of targeted organic acids. The leaching tests have demonstrated how the organic acids from whey fermentation have selective and quantitative mobilization capacities comparable to those of the same acids available on the market. The carbonization tests produced carbon-enriched hydrochar with promising fuel properties, as well as process waters suitable for anaerobic digestion with methane production. The results of the project led to the filing of an international patent.

Published: September 2024

The environmental questions emerged in recent decades have caused a transition from a linear economy to a circular economy (CE). CE is based on the reuse of materials in subsequent production cycles by extending their useful life, with the aim of reducing and if possible, eliminating any waste. Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), a 3D printing technique, has emerged in recent years as a promising methodology for green and sustainable purposes. The use of natural and biocompostable materials for the production of filaments for FFF, such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA), has made this 3D printing technique one of the most promising in several fields. This paper presents some applications concerning the development of innovative and sustainable materials focused on reducing the environmental impact of conventional FFF materials, carried out in recent years in our laboratories. In particular, various composite filaments incorporating poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and different handicraft or agro-industrial waste materials, including olive wood waste (OW), cocoa bean shell waste (CBSW), ceramic waste (CW) and Lecce stone waste (LSW), have been produced by extrusion. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on the innovative biocomposites developed, including structural, morphological, thermal and mechanical evaluations, and the comparison of the results obtained with the different subproducts is presented in the paper. Finally, some simple real objects first reproduced manually, were later 3D printed using the developed biocomposite filaments, demonstrating the effectiveness of FFF in successfully recycling artisanal and agro-industrial waste within the same production company, reducing costs and supporting the CE.

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignancy of the bile duct epithelium that is commonly found in the Thai population. CCA has poor prognosis and a low survival rate due to the lack of early diagnosis methods and the limited effectiveness of current treatments. A number of oncogenic spliced-transcripts resulting from mRNA splicing errors have been reported in CCA, and aberrant mRNA splicing is suspected to be a key driver of this cancer type. The hyperphosphorylation of serine/arginine rich-splicing factors (SRSFs) by serine/arginine protein kinases (SRPKs) causes them to translocate to the nucleus where they facilitate gene splicing errors that generate cancer-related mRNA/protein isoforms. Methods: The correlation between SRPK expression and the survival of CCA patients was analyzed using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. The effect of SRPK inhibitors (SRPIN340 and SPHINX31) on two CCA cell lines (KKU-213A and TFK-1) was also investigated. The induction of cell death was studied by Calcein-AM/PI staining, AnnexinV/7AAD staining, immunofluorescence (IF), and Western blotting (WB). The phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of SRSFs was tracked by WB and IF, and the repair of splicing errors was examined by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Results: High levels of SRPK1 and SRPK2 transcripts, and in particular SRPK1, correlated with shorter survival in CCA patients. SRPIN340 and SPHINX31 increased the number of dead and apoptotic cells in a dose-dependent manner. CCA also showed diffuse expression of cytoplasmic cytochrome C and upregulation of cleaved caspase-3. Moreover, SRSFs showed low levels of phosphorylation, resulting in the accumulation of cytoplasmic SRSF1. To link these phenotypes with aberrant gene splicing, the apoptosis-associated genes Bridging Integrator 1 (BIN1), Myeloid cell leukemia factor 1 (MCL-1) and B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) were selected for further investigation. Treatment with SRPIN340 and SPHINX31 decreased anti-apoptotic BIN1+12A and increased pro-apoptotic MCL-1S and BCL-xS. Conclusions: The SRPK inhibitors SRPIN340 and SPHINX31 can suppress the phosphorylation of SRSFs and their nuclear translocation, thereby producing BIN1, MCL-1 and BCL2 isoforms that favor apoptosis and facilitate CCA cell death.

Published: September 2024

This research aimed to test the effectiveness of the Packeted Electronically Assisted Reading Leaflets (PEARL) mobile application in enhancing students’ English academic performances. The researcher gained knowledge of declining reading comprehension skills, including Grade 7 reading levels, using the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (PHIL-IRI), the official reading material from the Department of Education. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the administration of this reading inventory has been put on hold due to its inapplicability. This study was conducted with Grade 7 Calamba Bayside Integrated School students from the Division of Calamba as respondents. A quasi-experimental technique, and administration of pretest, formative, and posttest, were used in this study. As for the data collection, the respondents' pretest, formative test, and post-test scores in the experimental and controlled groups were recorded weekly. There are 22 active students participated in the study through random sampling. Next, data analysis was performed using the T-test and Pearson’s formulas, respectively. Based on these findings, the researcher concluded that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest mean scores of the two groups, which indicates that the PEARL application is practical in enhancing English academic performance. Although there was only a medium-sized effect regarding the significant differences in the scores of the experimental group, it is concluded that several factors, like poor internet connectivity and technical difficulties, should be considered. The researcher also suggested that crafting instructional materials such as PEARL could improve students’ English proficiency.

READINESS OF SCIENCE & MATH TEACHERS TO APPLY STEM TECHNOLOGIES IN PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES ACCORDING TO THE COGNITIVE CRITERION INDICATORS
Authors: Yurchenko Kateryna
Published: September 2024

The development of STEM education requires teachers to have knowledge in science and mathematics, comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge, and the ability to integrate various fields of science, technology, and engineering into the educational process. That calls for new approaches to building teachers' readiness that involve the development of cognitive abilities, including the ability to analyze and critically think creativity, and the ability to innovate. In the article, we present a brief theoretical analysis of scientific sources of domestic and foreign scholars, which allowed us to clarify the concept of "readiness of teachers of natural and mathematical disciplines to use STEM technologies in their professional activities." Considering the approaches to determining the readiness criteria, the criteria are formulated, among which we single out the cognitive criterion, which characterizes the totality of knowledge and ideas about the nature of professional activity, professional knowledge, skills, and abilities to implement STEM in the educational process. The indicators of the cognitive criterion are highlighted: 1) "awareness in the field of STEM," which reflects the level of knowledge of the future teacher about current trends in the development of STEM education and technologies used in STEM projects; 2) "comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge," which reflects knowledge of various disciplines of the natural and mathematical cycle, as well as an understanding of interdisciplinary connections within STEM and the ability of the future teacher to make connections. The methods of calculating indicators for determining the readiness levels of teachers of natural and mathematical disciplines to use STEM technologies in their professional activities are described. The results of the pedagogical experiment, which was processed according to the Student's criterion, are presented. It has been confirmed that the level of formation of the knowledge component of readiness according to the indicators of the cognitive criterion (awareness of STEM and the availability of comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge) has positive dynamics in the experimental group.

Enhance Hydrogen Production from Water Using 532 Lasers
Authors: Abdalnasser Mubeen
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT: hydrogen production via water electrolysis under the influence of  laser  sounds fascinating with its unique properties, was particularly effective in promoting hydrogen production. The mechanism by which the laser promotes hydrogen production The electrolytic cell used in this work contains 270 ml of distilled water stimulated with different amounts of alcohol (2 ml - 4 ml - 6 ml - 8 ml - 10 ml). This chamber consists of two vertically oriented cylinders. Inside each cylinder there are graphite electrodes, each measuring 10 x 5 x 7 mm3, connected to the positive and negative terminals of a direct current power source, in addition to using a green laser source (532). An efficiency study was conducted using a green laser with a wavelength of 532 nanometers as an optical light source for water analysis through electrolysis. Results were obtained using both the standard electrolysis method and with the green laser source (532 nm). In the case of standard electrolysis, we obtained (When adding 5 ml of cohol, we get 6.63 hydrogen  ), while (Adding 10 ml of ill we get 7.44 of hydrogen ) was obtained when using the laser source. The results indicate that using the laser source enhances hydrogen production significantly compared to standard electrolysis, demonstrating the laser's high effectiveness in electrolysis due to its non-absorptive property in water. This could have significant implications for renewable energy and hydrogen fuel production.
Moderating Maghrebi Arabic Content on Social Media
Authors: Elswah Mona
Published: September 2024

People express their deepest desires, emotions, and imaginative ideas through language. However, Global North languages, particularly English, dominate in knowledge-sharing and technology. This has led to the marginalization of, and inadequate support for, Global South languages in digital spaces, particularly in the realm of content moderation. Content moderation systems often struggle with Global South languages due to inadequate and unrepresentative training data in addition to a lack of understanding of the cultural nuances that inform the meaning of language. In this report, part of a CDT series investigating content moderation biases and disparities in the Global South, we specifically examine the challenges and implications for moderation of content in the Maghrebi Arabic dialects in North Africa.

Published: September 2024

Performing movements in simulated environments (e.g., virtual reality) can be advantageous in training scenarios and when experimentally separating visual and proprioceptive limb representations. However, compared to real physical environments, virtual environments differ in how the limb is represented (e.g., animated hand or cursor) and in the timing of the visual feedback (i.e., latency in rendering the tracked movement). Thus, the current study sought to explore the influence of both representation differences and additional visual feedback delays on sensorimotor control when moving in a virtual reality environment. Participants performed aiming movements in an environment in which they had vision of a cursor representing their index finger or vision of their actual upper-limb. Further, vision was available either only prior to movement onset (i.e., feedforward) or throughout the movement (i.e., online guidance). In the feedforward condition, only representation differences were present between effectors. In the online guidance condition, however, there was an additional feedback delay when aiming with the cursor (at least ~17 ms). Performance was quantified using efficiency (bits/second) calculated using amplitude, effective target width, and movement time. Movements were less efficient when aiming with vision of the cursor compared to vision of the upper-limb in both the feedforward and online guidance conditions. Further, the magnitude of the cursor-limb efficiency difference was larger in the online guidance condition compared to the feedforward condition. Overall, the results suggest that differences in representation and visual feedback delays can combine to produce less efficient movements when aiming in virtual compared to real environments.
Understanding illegal dumping in Ontario: Drivers, barriers, and policy recommendations
Authors: Lakhan Calvin
Published: September 2024

Illegal dumping, the unauthorized disposal of waste in public spaces, poses significant environmental, social, and economic challenges, particularly in Ontario, Canada. This study investigates the drivers behind illegal dumping, with a focus on rural and urban communities in Ontario. Using a mixed-methods approach, including household surveys and interviews, we examine self-reported instances of dumping, attitudes towards waste management, and perceived barriers to legal waste disposal. The results reveal that inadequate waste collection infrastructure, particularly in rural areas, and high disposal costs are primary motivators for illegal dumping. Additionally, a lack of awareness regarding proper disposal methods exacerbates the issue. While most respondents recognize the immorality of illegal dumping, rural participants show less guilt and are more likely to engage in the behavior. The study provides actionable insights for policymakers, including the need for improved waste infrastructure, targeted educational campaigns, and increased enforcement efforts. By addressing these key factors, Ontario can mitigate the environmental and public health risks posed by illegal dumping, while fostering a culture of responsible waste disposal.
Understanding Variation in Neighbourhood Environmental Inequalities: The Influence of Residential Segregation, Gentrification, and other City-Level Factors
Authors: König Christian , Salomo Katja , Helbig Marcel
Published: September 2024

Exposure to environmental burdens, such air and noise pollution or the lack of available green spaces, has been linked to a multitude of detrimental outcomes. Previous evidence indicates that poor residents and foreign minorities in European cities are disproportionately exposed to environmental burdens. However, there are substantial but ill-understood differences between European countries and between cities within countries. To address this limitation, we utilise fine-grained 1km-by-1km neighbourhood grid data on objective air and noise pollution as well as green space availability, enriched with administrative data on poverty rates and foreign minority shares from all German cities with at least 100,000 inhabitants in 2017. We examine whether poor residents and foreign minorities are more often affected by environmental burdens, how their exposure to environmental burdens differs between cities, and what city-specific contextual factors contribute to these between-city differences. We find evidence that foreign minorities are more likely to be exposed to environmental burdens, but poor residents are predominantly not. However, there is considerable variation between cities. The strongest explanatory factor for this variation is the extent to which disadvantaged groups live in central neighbourhoods, less so residential segregation of poor and foreign residents, or the scarcity of ‘clean and healthy’ neighbourhoods in a city. Against these results, we further explore empirically how the current wave of inner-city gentrification might ease environmental inequality in German cities.
Mixed Marriages with the Orthodox in the Metropolitan Church sui iuris in Slovakia – History and Present
Authors: Popovič Jurij
Published: September 2024

The issue of intermarriage among believers is very topical nowadays because we have seen a lot of migration recently. The reasons are various, but the main ones are the opening of borders and migration for work. A frequent outcome of these processes is the celebration of mixed marriages. In the past, the Catholic Church has been negative about mixed marriages because it feared that in the future the Catholic side might lose its faith and the Catholic upbringing of children might be threatened. Even today, the Catholic Church is not very supportive of such marriages, but is tolerant of them in view of the progress of ecumenism. This welcoming does not mean, however, that the Church is indifferent to the fate of those who celebrate mixed marriages, since the celebration of such marriages is governed by the prescriptions of canon law, which have the task, from the very beginning, when such marriages are instituted, of being of help to those who celebrate them, so that they may live in them in peace and without offending the Creator, and so form a happy marriage despite their differences. The attitude of the Orthodox Church towards mixed marriages has been negative in the past and remains unchanged at the present time, and if a marriage is not celebrated in the Orthodox Church, it is not recognized as valid.

The fact that spouses profess different faiths is a major challenge for their life and for building a stable family. A closer examination of the reality of mixed marriages may be helpful in developing the pastoral care they need. The article shows what mixed marriages deal with in their spirituality, in the context of the existing doctrine, law and pastoral practice. It also discusses the shared values and expressions of Christian spirituality as well as areas where tensions or even crises may appear. The article is not only a recapitulation of the applicable laws and existing pastoral practice, but proposes some solutions, both pastoral and canonical.

Published: September 2024

Despite the fact that small rivers are called Small, their importance in terms of ecology is high. This is because the condition of large rivers will depend on smaller rivers. The degradation of small rivers negatively affects the state, is an important and urgent task. The purpose of the study was to geochemically analyze the composition of the waters of small rivers in the Syryms district and assess their quality. Water samples were taken from each river ecological state of medium and large rivers, because they feed at the expense of these small rivers. It is easy to see that every day the waters of these rivers are receding and the banks are expanding. Currently, one of the main tasks that environmental science sets for itself is to monitor the ecological state of water bodies. In connection with the conditions of increasing anthropogenic factors, determining the ecological state of small rivers plays an important role in maintaining the composition of the natural ecosystem. Small rivers are very sensitive to anthropogenic factors and react to these factors in the opposite way. The study of the chemical composition of small river waters, as well as their ecological state, is an important and urgent task. The aim of the study is a geochemical analysis of the composition of small river waters in the Syrymsky district and an assessment of their quality. Water samples were taken from each river to determine the composition of the water quality. The cameral stage was held in the laboratory of environmental and biogeochemical testing of M. Utemisov West Kazakhstan University. Chemical analysis was carried out using the widely used methods GOST 26449.1 — 85. After analyzing the indicators of water samples taken from the research area, it was found that the maximum raual concentration level did not exceed, except for the total hardness.

Authors: Golushko A.V.
Published: September 2024

The annual increase in surface air temperatures contributes to climate change. This phenomenon is widespread over the entire surface of the Earth and is typical for any point of the planet. The purpose of this study was to identify patterns of changes in meteorological indicators in the city of Rudny, Kostanay region, Republic of Kazakhstan over the summer period 2018–2022. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time the spatial distribution of the heat index in the territory of the city of Rudny was determined. To conduct the study, data from local automated weather stations were used, meteorological data was analyzed, compared for each year of the study, and the heat index was calculated. The reliability of the results is ensured by mathematical processing of daily empirical temperature and humidity data (calculation of the average for the day, the average for the month), coefficient of variation, coefficient of dispersion. The conducted research provides a clear description of climate changes in the city of Rudny, which can be used by municipal authorities to form measures to reduce the thermal impact on public health, heat loss in the housing and communal services system, and to improve air quality when planning urban infrastructure in the territory of the studied city.

This paper is devoted to a new type of boundary-value problems for Sturm-Liouville equations defined on three disjoint intervals (−π,−π+d),(−π+d,π−d) and (π−d,π) together with eigenparameter dependent boundary conditions and with additional transmission conditions specified at the common end points −π+d and π−d, where 0<d<π. The considered problem cannot be treated by known techniques within the usual framework of classical Sturm-Liouville theory. To establish some important spectral characteristics we introduced the polynomial-operator formulation of the problem. Moreover, we develop a new modification of the Rayleigh method to obtain lower bound of eigenvalues.

Published: September 2024

The issues of stability in solving nonlinear difference equations were considered. Based on a generalized difference analog of the well-known Bihari lemma, stability conditions for a trivial solution based on initial data were obtained, and an a priori estimate of stability under permanent disturbances was determined. The results were used to study the stability of solving explicit and implicit difference schemes approximating nonlinear parabolic equations.

The theory of m-convex (m − cv) functions is a new direction in the real geometry. In this work, by using the connection m − cv functions with strongly m-subharmonic (shm) functions and using well-known and rich properties of shm functions, we show a number of important properties of the class of m−cv functions, in particular, we study Hessians Hk(u), k = 1, 2, ..., n − m +1, in the class of bounded m − cv functions.

According to the results of tribotechnical tests of coatings made of KNA-82 alloy ligatures with the addition of yttrium of 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, data were obtained that allowed us to establish the nature of changes in the dynamic coefficient of friction over the test period and numerous values of the energy intensity of material wear. The evaluation of coatings formed by the gas-flame and ion-plasma method was based on the following premise. The maximum resistance to mechanical fracture is determined by the manifestation of a constant minimum value of the dynamic coefficient of friction. This serves as an indicator of reduced friction force before reaching the fatigue limit. Another key factor is the number of separated particles produced per unit of integral work during the friction process. These evaluation parameters are lined up in a row by the number of points from 1 to 4. The maximum score corresponds to the maximum resistance, i.e., a lower value of the energy intensity of material wear and the minimum value of the stable friction coefficient. It has been determined that the same coincidence of these parameters according to the scores is almost at all stages of testing (I-III) was the coating formed by the gas-flame method with a yttrium concentration of 0.3%-0.5%. The exception was the coating formed by the ion-plasma method with a yttrium concentration of 0.1% at the fourth stage of testing.
