Abstract
The global emergence and tenacity of multidrug-resistant microbes have raised new challenges for the management of diseases associated with infections. Metal-based nanoparticles (NPs) have recently received special attention as a prospective alternate for existing chemical antibiotics because of their extensive antibacterial potency and low toxicity. Herein, copper nanoparticles (CuONPs) were prepared by using an aqueous extract of aerial parts Rhus microphylla (RM) aerial parts. The obtained RM-CuONPs were characterized and evaluated for antimicrobial and antibiofilm potential against various human pathogens. The formed RM-CuONPs were well dispersed with a uniform spherical shape and an average size of 32.45 nm. Numerous functional moieties found in the FTIR spectra confirmed that the phytocomponents of the RM-extract were in charge of the synthesis synthesis, capping, and stabilization of RM-CuONPs. The biogenic RM-CuONPs demonstrated superior antibacterial effectiveness towards Staphylococcus epidermidis and Enterobacter cloacae with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 48.5 µg·mL−1. Remarkable antifungal activity of RM-CuONPs was noted against C. tropicalis (MIC = 97 µg·mL−1). Also, the biosynthesized RM-CuONPs demonstrated notable potential in reducing biofilm formation in a dose-dependent manner. These inferences offer an insight into the plausible for utilizing plant extracts for the biosynthesis of CuONPs with enhanced biological activity and could offer promising effective substitutes to traditional antimicrobials for the treatment of biofilms and drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
This research focuses on converting Red Sea seawater into environmentally friendly hydrogen (H2) gas by developing an innovative photocathode termed MoS3–MoO3/PA2MB. Fabricated through a single-step process, this photocathode demonstrates impressive performance, achieving an H2 production rate of 6.0 µmol/10 cm²·h with a current density (J
ph) of −0.7 mA·cm⁻². The effectiveness of this photocathode is highlighted by its favorable morphological properties, characterized by semi-spherical shapes measuring 130 nm in width and 170 nm in length. Moreover, the MoS3–MoO3/PA2MB photocathode exhibits excellent light absorbance across a wide spectrum, benefiting from a small bandgap of 1.6 eV, which significantly enhances its efficiency in converting light energy into hydrogen gas. The photocathode’s performance is rigorously tested under various optical conditions, with photon energies ranging from 3.6 to 1.7 eV. As the photon energies decrease from 3.6 to 1.7 eV, the J
ph values decrease from −0.53 to −0.43 mA·cm⁻², demonstrating the photocathode’s adaptability to different optical environments. Overall, the successful synthesis of the MoS3–MoO3/PA2MB photocathode marks a significant advancement in H2 gas production directly from seawater. This technology shows potential for commercial applications, particularly in remote and economically disadvantaged areas where access to conventional energy sources is limited, offering a promising solution for sustainable energy generation.
2D dendritic thermal growth pulsations: diffusion field associated with the transport of heat for application in organic-based systems
Authors: Boyer Séverine A. E. , Burr Alain 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The crystallization of organic-based materials occurs under conditions far from equilibrium, leading to patterns that grow as propagating waves into the surrounding unstable fluid medium. This problem was reformulated considering the concept of thermal forces of preexisting 2D patterns. A new finite difference numerical scheme was tested. Dendritic islands were distributed in the liquid-viscous fluid. It induced a heterogeneous thermal distribution nearby the dendritic islands. The evolution of the isoline of the temperature versus time reveals fractal patterns within the inter-dendritic liquid. The physical origin of the fluctuations is guided by the proximity of the dendrites, i.e. lack of space. Moreover, the gradient of temperature is depicted by isocline pictures. Fractal patterns may be considered advantageous and be taken as a key point to the next step, i.e. the crystal growth in an environment subjected to rapid variations of temperature.
Singular-plural verb stem alternation: uncovering global and local drivers of typological variation
Authors: Inman David , Vuillermet Marine 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we present a comparative concept for singular-plural verb stem alternation (Sg-Pl alternation) and a systematic global survey of its presence as well as its syntactic and semantic attributes, with a denser sample in the Americas. We show that Sg-Pl alternation is fairly common, occurring in about one in three languages, although its geographic distribution is highly uneven. Fine-grained data collected on the verbs targeted by the phenomenon reveal distinct global and local drivers. General semantic and syntactic properties are fairly consistent at the global level and reveal the relevance of the spatial configuration of the Figure (Motion Event), while at the local level highly specific semantics are shared across neighboring languages. This work will be of interest to both fieldworkers and typologists interested in distinguishing between the various causal factors for the development of typological properties.
Utilizing reactive oxygen species-scavenging nanoparticles for targeting oxidative stress in the treatment of ischemic stroke: A review

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Ischemic stroke, which accounts for the majority of stroke cases, triggers a complex series of pathophysiological events, prominently characterized by acute oxidative stress due to excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in driving cell death and inflammation in ischemic stroke, making it a significant target for therapeutic intervention. Nanomedicine presents an innovative approach to directly mitigate oxidative damage. This review consolidates existing knowledge on the role of oxidative stress in ischemic stroke and assesses the potential of various ROS-scavenging nanoparticles (NPs) as therapeutic agents. We explore the properties and mechanisms of metal, metal-oxide, and carbon-based NPs, emphasizing their catalytic activity and biocompatibility in scavenging free radicals and facilitating the delivery of therapeutic agents across the blood–brain barrier. Additionally, we address the challenges such as cytotoxicity, immunogenicity, and biodistribution that need to be overcome to translate these nanotechnologies from bench to bedside. The future of NP-based therapies for ischemic stroke holds promise, with the potential to enhance outcomes through targeted modulation of oxidative stress.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Introduction
The variation of mortality rates according to sex, regarding mortality from all causes and from specific conditions related to diabtes mellitus (DM) is widely discussed.

Aim
The aim of this study was to analyze the mortality trends from all causes and DM according to sex in Bauru, São Paulo, Brazil, between 1998 and 2021.

Methodology
This was a retrospective, observational, epidemiological, population-based study. Data were collected from the Unified Health System, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, and the Automatic Recovery System. A time series analysis was conducted using age-adjusted rates for segmented analysis with annual percentage change and average annual percentage change (AAPC) computed.

Results
All-cause mortality rose from 2.080 to 3.806 deaths, an 82.31% increase, with a stable trend (AAPC: −0.70%). DM-related deaths increased from 84 to 168, with a stable trend (AAPC: −0.90%). Sex-specific mortality figures show a higher average mortality rate in males for all causes (26.50% higher) and females for DM (25% higher). All-cause mortality had a stationary trend for both sexes. DM mortality showed a slight decline in females (AAPC: −1.30%) but remained stable in males.

Conclusions
Men maintained a higher mortality rate from all causes when compared to women. Women kept a higher DM-related mortality rate than men, although their DM-related mortality rate showed a decreasing trend throughout the period evaluated.
Boethius of Dacia and Terence Parsons: Verbs and Verb Tense Then and Now
Authors: Sirridge Mary 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Latin and English are good examples of languages in which temporal information is expressed to a significant extent by the tense system of verbs. Medieval speculative grammar dealt extensively with the grammar of tensed sentences and temporal adverbs. And starting in the 1960s, there was an explosion of theorizing about linguistic temporal indicators, principally tense systems and temporal adverbs, in anglophone linguistics and philosophical logic focused on semantics for natural language. I argue that despite important differences with respect to methodology and underlying assumptions, there is significant agreement about the underlying structure of constructions involving tense and the ontological commitments that follow from a semantic analysis of these constructions. I use as examples Modi Significandi by Boethius of Denmark and Events in the Semantics of English by Terrence Parsons.
Conjugated heat transfer characteristics of ribbed-swirl cooling in turbine blade under rotation condition
Authors: Xiao Kun , Zhao Xiandi , He Juan , Ma Zhaokai , Feng Zhenping 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Ribbed-swirl cooling performs excellently in enhancing heat transfer, but previous studies were almost conducted in simple circular tubes under static conditions. The influence of actual mainstream flow, heat conduction of blade as well as the rotation effect was ignored. To explore its application potential in a real environment, the thermal performance of swirling cooling after adding annular ribs to its target surface in a real turbine blade was analyzed, and the impacts of centrifugal force along with Coriolis force were also included. From the results, the ribs affected the distribution of nozzle mass flow rate. For nozzles near the blade root, the mass flow rates in ribbed-swirl cooling were smaller than those in smooth-swirl chamber, while near blade tip, those were higher. Besides, the influence of Coriolis force from SS (suction side) to PS (pressure side) on the development of cross-flow and swirl in smooth and ribbed chamber exerted a significant difference. For ribbed-swirl cooling, cross-flow passing through ribs induced flow separation, which was conducted to cross-flow suppression. The combined action of the above two aspects led to an obvious heat transfer advantage of ribbed-swirl cooling. In comparison to smooth-swirl chamber, its blade surface temperature was further reduced to more than 25 K.
ДВА УВЕЩАНИЯ ЕВФИМИЯ ЧУДОВСКОГО В ЗАЩИТУ ПЕРЕВОДА КНИГИ «ПРАВОСЛАВНОЕ ИСПОВЕДАНИЕ ВЕРЫ»
Authors: Т.В. ПАНИЧ 
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматриваются два сочинения на тему перевода и правки книг, принадлежащие перу одного из видных представителей русской духовной культуры второй половины XVII в. - знаменитого книжника, писателя, переводчика и редактора, грекофила Евфимия Чудовского. Оба сочинения написаны в форме полемического увещания и читаются в рукописи ГИМ, Синодальное собрание, № 473, где они предваряют текст книги «Православное исповедание веры» Петра Могилы в переводе Евфимия Чудовского. Анализируются структура и содержание увещаний, их идейная направленность и проблематика. На основе сопоставления текстов сочинений выявлены особенности каждого из них, показаны сходство и различия между ними, сделан вывод о том, что второе Увещание представляет собой новый текст, написанный на ту же тему, что и первое Увещание, с использованием отдельных фрагментов его текста.
The manuscript from the Synodal Collection of the GIM, No. 473, which is a list of Peter Mogila’s “Orthodox Confession of Faith” translated by Euthymius Chudovsky, contains, among additional articles, two works written in the form of instruction or Exhortation. The works were written on behalf of Patriarch Adrian, but, judging by the stylistic features of the text and the problems of the works, their author was Euthymius Chudovsky, who wrote Exhortations in defense of his translation of the book “The Orthodox Confession of Faith” from Greek. Both Exhortations are of interest as sources that allow a deeper understanding of the nature of the writing and translation activities of Euthymius Chudovsky, the specifics of his work with the word. The writings are polemical in nature and are directed at critics of book revisions and new translations. The author of the Exhortations substantiates the reliability of his translation, while revealing the principles and features of his work on translation and editing texts, as well as his attitude to the Greek language and the authoritative translations of the past. As for sources, he draws on the translation of the New Testament associated with the name of Metropolitan Alexiy, Conversations on the Gospel translated by Maxim the Greek, and the translation of the writings of the Fathers of the Church carried out by Epiphanius Slavinetsky. Despite the fact that both Exhortations are devoted to the same topic, a comparative analysis of their texts shows that they have significant differences. The text of the second Exhortation is much shorter (in volume, it is less than half of the first Exhortation). The differences relate to the structure, the nature of the text design, and stylistics. The first text looks like a rough draught, and the second one has an almost complete form. Based on the results of a comparative study of the texts of both works, it can be concluded that the second Exhortation should not be considered as an abridged version of the first Exhortation, but as a new text written on the same topic as the first Exhortation, using individual textual borrowings from it.
«ОКРУЖНОЕ ПОСЛАНИЕ ВИКАРИЯ МОНСЕНЬОРА ВЕЙО»: ПАМФЛЕТ Л.И. САЙН-ВИТГЕНШТЕЙН В ЗАЩИТУ Ф. ДЮПАНЛУ
Authors: Д.В. ДОЛГУШИН 
Published: November 2024

В статье впервые публикуется памфлет, написанный Леониллой Ивановной Сайн-Витгенштейн на французском языке в поддержку епископа Орлеанского Феликса Дюпанлу в его полемике с консервативным католическим журналистом Луи Вейо. Текст приводится по рукописной копии из архива Славянской библиотеки (г. Ванв, Франция), сопровождается переводом на русский язык, текстологическим и реальным комментарием. Кроме того, в статье восстанавливается исторический контекст этого документа - ожесточенная полемика между французскими либеральными католиками и их противниками-ультрамонтанами. Памфлет представляет собой не только любопытный памятник полемики, проходившей в 1850-х гг. во Франции, но и документ, важный для изучения религиозных исканий и жизненного пути Л.И. Сайн-Витгенштейн, а также русско-французских культурных связей.
The purpose of the article is to study and publish a fragment of the French-language memoirs of Leonilla Sayn-Wittgenstein (née Baryatinskaya, 1816 - 1918), omitted during their publication in 1908. For the most part, this fragment contains the pamphlet written by L. Sayn-Wittgenstein around 1852 in support of Bishop of Orleans Félix Dupanloup in his polemic with the conservative Catholic journalist Louis Veuillot. The article expresses a judgment of exactly what place the pamphlet should have occupied in the general text of the memoirs, argues its dating, and restores the biographical context of the pamphlet’s writing. The general historical context, which is the polemic between French liberal Catholics and their ultramontane opponents, is reconstructed. It is concluded that the text of the pamphlet reflected many points of the controversy between Dupanloup and Veuillot, and the image of the “veuillotin”, a follower of Veuillot, was subjected to satirical hyperbolization. A “veuillotin” in the image of L.I. Sayn-Wittgenstein is aggressive, stubborn, stupid, arrogant, suspicious, unkempt, devoid of secular manners, fanatically devoted to Veuillot, holds bishops and the canonical system of the church in contempt, has extremely ultramontane views, and accuses his opponents of Gallicanism. The appendix to the article contains the text of the pamphlet based on a handwritten copy from the archive of the Slavic Library (kept as part of the archives of the Jesuit Order in Vanves near Paris). It is accompanied by a translation into Russian, textual and real commentary. The pamphlet is not only an interesting monument to the controversy that took place in the 1850s in France, but a document important for the study of the religious quest and life journey of L.I. Sayn-Wittgenstein, as well as for Russian-French cultural relations.
П.Н. БУЦИНСКИЙ VS И.П. БАРСУКОВ. ПОЛИТИЧЕСКИЙ КОНТЕКСТ СПОРА ИСТОРИКОВ О Н.Н. МУРАВЬЕВЕ-АМУРСКОМ
Authors: Н.П. МАТХАНОВА 
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматриваются противоположные оценки выдающегося государственного деятеля, генерал-губернатора Восточной Сибири Н.Н. Муравьева-Амурского, данные известными историками XIX в. П.Н. Буцинским и И.П. Барсуковым. Освещена суть претензий Буцинского к Барсукову, высказанных в рецензии на фундаментальный труд Барсукова о Муравьеве-Амурском. Основная из них заключается в утверждении, что биограф необъективно отнесся к своему герою, который, по мнению рецензента, ненавидел М.М. Сперанского. Причиной неприязни Буцинский считал как зависть, так и противоположные подходы к управлению. В статье опровергается обвинение и уточняются позиции Муравьева-Амурского. Высказано предположение, что политическая подоплека обвинений Буцинским как Барсукова, так и Муравьева-Амурского заключалась в идейно-политических взглядах Буцинского - члена черносотенной организации.
The article considers a book review written by a famous historian, professor P.N. Butsinsky analyzing I.P. Barsukov’s fundamental work “Count Nikolay Nikolaevich Muravov-Amurskiy based on his letters, official documents, contemporary accounts and published sources (materials for biography)”. Barsukov’s book was nominated for the Metropolitan Macarius Prize of the Academy of Sciences, for which reason Butsinskiy was commissioned to write a review. Having accused the book’s author of the lack of objectivity the reviewer based his accusations primarily on the statements of the opponents of East Siberian Governor General. He demonstrated bias against both Barsukov’s work and its title character - Muravyov-Amursky, making insulting remarks regarding the latter. It is important to note one of Butsinskiy’s remarks that went beyond the review - he accused Muravyov-Amursky of hatred of the outstanding reformer M.M. Speransky. The historian believed that this hatred was rooted in the contrasting approaches to the problems of governance. Muravyov criticized Speranskiy’s “Siberian Statute” stressing its practical inconvenience. In Muravyov’s view, crucial miscalculations made by Speransky included introduction of collegiate administration and disregard for the Far Eastern territories. The nature of review was influenced by the general political environment and views of Butsinskiy. In particular, it was the negative attitude of the rightist who soon became an active member of the Black Hundred organizations towards the General Governor of Eastern Siberia who was rumored to be “red”, and the rightists’ negative perception of the active Far Eastern policy symbolized by Count Muravyov-Amursky. However, both the historians and the statesman who was the subject of their debate remained in the historical memory. Many streets and squares, museums and libraries in the cities of Siberia and Far East were named after Muravyov-Amursky. Monuments to him were installed in Khabarovsk, Chita, Blagoveshchensk and Vladivostok. Works by P.N. Butsinskiy and I.P. Barsukov have been reissued and are widely used and cited by contemporary historians.

Today, visualization of 3D medical images is an essential tool for medical education. Web-based 3D tools for the teaching-learning process have turned out to be an efficient alternative to conventional systems. In this work, we aim the modeling process and 3D web-based interactive visualization of the human brain using 3D web technologies and an improvement of the Methodology for the Development of Virtual Reality Educational Environments (MEDEERV, for its acronym in Spanish). 20 undergraduate medicine, dentistry, gerontology, and computer science students performed a brain model usability test (9 women; 11 men, mean age = 22.1 years, SD = 0.70). To this end, we used a post-test questionnaire with Likert scale answers whose alpha of Cronbach was 0.93.

The proof of concept of the brain model that we have developed in this work provides evidence of the viability of the system to be used as a web tool for basic neuroanatomy learning. The main contribution of this work focuses on the implementation of MEDEERV to model the 3D human brain, plus the usability testing for reengineering feedback. This approach to modeling, visualizing, and evaluating could be used in other areas of human anatomical teaching. Although the experimental results show a good user experience, functionality and usability, it is necessary to generate a new version and carry out a study with a larger and more specific population with knowledge of brain anatomy.
