Authors: Malaya Michaela Marie , Gito Mary Ann , De la Cruz Kyla Kris , Caipang Christopher 
Published: December 2024

Swine production dominates the livestock sector in the Philippines, providing 60% of the nation’s meat supply. Some of the swine industry’s challenges include waste management, resulting in environmental issues such as air pollution, water contamination, and the spread of pathogens that can affect human health. Severe impacts of swine waste on water bodies can lead to eutrophication and render water systems unproductive. This study aimed to isolate and characterize the dominant bacterial pathogens in swine waste effluent in a municipality in southern Iloilo, Philippines. Water samples from the receiving river were collected and cultured to isolate bacteria, followed by genetic identification and phylogenetic analysis to understand the microbial contamination in rivers impacted by the swine farm. Four dominant bacterial strains were isolated and identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. All strains, confirmed as Gram-negative, belong to the Enterobacteriaceae family, specifically Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae. K. pneumoniae, highly resistant and associated with significant health risks, is found in diverse environments and causes severe infections. E. cloacae, an opportunistic pathogen, contributes to water contamination and antibiotic resistance. The study underscores the environmental and public health concerns linked to these bacteria, emphasizing the need for stringent waste management and infection control strategies.

Published: December 2024

As estatinas são medicamentos que inibem a enzima HMG-CoA redutase, responsável pela síntese do colesterol, agindo como hipolipemiantes e levando a uma diminuição do colesterol endocelular, e consequentemente do colesterol circulante no plasma. Agindo assim, as estatinas conseguem prevenir a doença aterosclerótica coronariana, trazendo grande impacto na morbimortalidade cardiovascular, sendo por esse motivo muito difundida entre idosos com dislipidemia. Dessa forma, devemos entender porque o uso desta droga deve ser feito com muita atenção, já que existem diversos efeitos colaterais, quais são estes efeitos e o porquê deles serem causados. OBJETIVOS: O objetivo do estudo é analisar a prevalência de efeitos colaterais pelo uso de estatina nos idosos de um ambulatório médico de especialidades da região centro-oeste do Paraná. MÉTODO: Trata-se de um estudo de natureza epidemiológica quantitativa transversal retrospectiva, feito em Guarapuava (PR) com 108 pessoas idosas, onde foram analisados prontuários médicos (65,7% são mulheres; idade média de 67 anos), tratados no Ambulatório de especialidades médicas da 5ª regional. Todos os idosos da pesquisa tem dislipidemia e estavam em uso de estatina. RESULTADOS: Entre os 108 participantes da pesquisa 70,37% não registraram percepção de efeitos colaterais após o uso da estatina, enquanto 29,63% relataram efeitos colaterais. CONCLUSÃO: Conclui-se que o uso de estatina é seguro, e não se pode confirmar que os efeitos colaterais estejam associados ao uso do medicamento.

Authors: Sharif Mudassir , Ameen Maliha , Taj Inam Ullah 
Published: December 2024

Aim of the Study: This study aimed to investigate the influence of TikTok (TT) reels on shaping political narratives for Pakistani political parties in the contemporary era of pervasive social media.
Methodology: Grounded in semiotics theory by Saussure, Peirce, and Barthes, the research conducted a meticulous semiotic analysis of TT reels from major political parties (PTI, PMLN, PPP). Purposive sampling of nine reels decodes explicit and implicit political messages through symbols, audio, and visuals. Additionally, Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis (CDA) and semi-structured interviews with fifty respondents offer nuanced insights.
Findings: The discourse analysis of semiotic-rich TikTok reels by Pakistani political parties (PTI's religious-nationalistic fusion, PMLN's emotive appeals, and PPP's governance showcases tailored to resonate with distinct audience sentiments) revealed strategic use of symbols to shape narratives and engage audiences, addressing research questions. While some viewers exhibit disinterest, others engage with specific narratives, highlighting the complexity of digital political communication. Interview responses underscore the modest impact of TikTok reels on political perspectives, affirming the platform's function primarily as a communication tool rather than a decisive influencer of public opinion.
Conclusion: This study unveiled the dynamic synergy between social media and politics, offering pivotal insights into evolving political communication strategies. The call for expanded research, integrating audience reception analysis, and leveraging technological advancements, highlights the study's forward-looking perspective in navigating the evolving terrain of digital political communication.

Auger Effect Assisted Perovskite Electroluminescence Modulated by Interfacial Minority Carriers
Authors: Yuan Shuai , Liu Qing‐Wei , Tian Qi‐Sheng , Jin Yan , Wang Zhao‐Kui , Liao Liang‐Sheng 
Published: February 2020

AbstractPerovskite‐based light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have exhibited promising potential; however, their operational lifetimes are far from expectation. The large bias of the device during operation has been demonstrated as one of main reasons for accelerated device failure. To mitigate such a predicament, interfacial Auger effect (IAE) assisted sub‐bandgap voltage electroluminescence (EL) is a potential pathway to decrease the electric field intensity in each functional layer. However, the properties of a desirable IAE are still poorly understood. Herein, the underlying mechanism of IAE based on the injection characteristics of interfacial minority carriers at the Auger effect interface is investigated. Consequently, the prerequisites and the secondary conditions for the realization of IAE are proposed. Taking advantage of IAE assisted EL, the fabricated PeLEDs exhibit ultralow operational voltage, ignorable roll‐off, and improved operational stability. The findings in this work not only pave the way toward a feasible approach to enhance the stability of PeLEDs, but also highlight the potential of sub‐bandgap voltage EL in future display and lighting applications, especially in series circuits and tandem structures.

AbstractVan der Waals (vdW) heterostructures open up excellent prospects in electronic and optoelectronic applications. In this work, mixed‐dimensional metal‐halide perovskite/graphene heterostructures are prepared through selective growth of CH3NH3PbBr3 platelets on patterned single‐layer graphene using chemical vapor deposition. Preferred growth of single‐crystal CH3NH3PbBr3 platelets on graphene surfaces is achieved, which is accompanied by significant photoluminescence quenching. Raman spectra reveal that perovskite platelets cause p‐type doping in the graphene layer. A significant Fermi level decrease of 272 meV in graphene is estimated, which corresponds to a high doping density of 7.5 × 1012 cm−2. Surface potentials measured by Kelvin probe force microscopy indicate a negatively charged perovskite surface under illumination, which is consistent with the upward band bending deduced from conducting atomic force microscopy measurements. Moreover, a field‐effect phototransistor is fabricated using the perovskite/graphene heterostructure channel, and the increased Dirac voltage under illumination confirms an enhanced p‐type character in graphene. These findings enrich the understanding of strong interface coupling in such mixed‐dimensional vdW heterostructures and pave the way toward novel perovskite‐based optoelectronic devices.

AbstractVarious kinds of amorphous materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides, metal oxides, and metal phosphates, have demonstrated superior electrocatalytic performance compared with their crystalline counterparts. Compared to other materials for electrocatalysis, noble metals exhibit intrinsically high activity and excellent durability. However, it is still very challenging to prepare amorphous noble‐metal nanomaterials due to the strong interatomic metallic bonding. Herein, the discovery of a unique thiol molecule is reported, namely bismuthiol I, which can induce the transformation of Pd nanomaterials from face‐centered‐cubic (fcc) phase into amorphous phase without destroying their integrity. This ligand‐induced amorphization is realized by post‐synthetic ligand exchange under ambient conditions, and is applicable to fcc Pd nanomaterials with different capping ligands. Importantly, the obtained amorphous Pd nanoparticles exhibit remarkably enhanced activity and excellent stability toward electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution in acidic solution. This work provides a facile and effective method for preparing amorphous Pd nanomaterials, and demonstrates their promising electrocatalytic application.

Published: February 2020

AbstractDeveloping low‐cost, highly efficient, and durable electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for the practical application of electrochemical water splitting. Herein, it is discovered that organic small molecule (hexabromobenzene, HBB) can activate commercial transition metal (Ni, Fe, and NiFe) foam by directly evolving metal nanomeshes embedded in graphene‐like films (M‐NM@G) through a facile Br‐induced solid‐phase migration process. Systematic investigations indicate that HBB can conformally generate graphene‐like network on bulk metal foam substrate via the cleavage of CBr bonds and the formation of CC linkage. Simultaneously, the cleaved CBr fragments can efficiently extract metal atoms from bulk substrate, in situ producing transition metal nanomeshes embedded in the graphene‐like films. As a result, such functional nanostructure can serve as an efficient OER electrocatalyst with a low overpotential and excellent long‐term stability. Specifically, the overpotential at 100 mA cm−2 is only 208 mV for NiFe‐NM@G, ranking the top‐tier OER electrocatalysts. This work demonstrates an intriguing general strategy for directly transforming bulk transition metals into nanostructured functional electrocatalysts via the interaction with organic small molecules, opening up opportunities for bridging the application of organic small molecules in energy technologies.
