The omnipresence of emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment is indisputable. These contaminants include chemical substances not removed in traditional water and sewage treatment processes. To ensure the quality of water and healthy aquatic ecosystems, new treatment technologies and materials are essential to effectively control the presence of these contaminants in the aquatic environment. More than that, it is important to know how molecules interact with these new materials. A low-cost alternative currently available is adsorption. Despite this method being widely studied, describing the interaction mechanisms between the materials and the analytes is not usual, limiting the obtainment of more efficient materials. Thus, the objective of this work was to understand, in a theoretical-experimental way, the forms of interaction in the adsorption of the drug paracetamol, widely used worldwide, in materials based on graphene with different chemical and structural properties. For this, kinetic and isothermal experimental studies were carried out using four materials that contemplated different dimensions, pore sizes, and oxidation degrees. In theoretical studies, density functional theory (DFT) simulations were performed to cover quantum details, revealing how paracetamol interacts with different graphene structures. According to theoretical studies, binding energies, binding distances, and charge transfer between oxidized graphene and paracetamol drug are compatible with physical adsorption, strongly dependent on the type and number of functional groups on the graphene surface. These results agree with the experimental data where the highest adsorptions were observed precisely for materials containing a higher proportion of functional groups and where these groups are more available (more porous), with adsorptive capacities reaching 235.7 mg/g. Our findings contribute to scientific knowledge about using graphene structures as an adsorbent material, providing a solid basis for future studies and developing more efficient and advanced water treatment technologies.

Introduction: Virtual Reality applications for rehabilitation are increasing in popularity. In traditional as well as virtual rehabilitation, the guidance of an occupational therapist through physical and verbal interaction is often required. Several studies have attempted to implement a virtual therapist or assistant in immersive virtual environments for rehabilitation.Objective: This research aims to systematically review these studies, understanding the therapist’s role and how they are represented in the virtual environment, how the virtual therapist and patient interact and the experience of users. Our goal is to provide guidance for virtual therapist implementations into fully immersive virtual reality environments.Method: The researchers systematically reviewed the literature on virtual therapists in immersive virtual environments for motor rehabilitation (protocol prospectively registered with PROSPERO ID: CRD42022357369).Results and Conclusion: Seven studies were identified, with findings showing that virtual therapists are often human-like avatars that guide patients, requiring them to mimic the therapist’s movements. Visual, haptic, or one-direction audio feedback from the therapist to the patient was provided in five studies. The selected studies were all newly developed custom-made systems, with five systems developed using the same game engine. Studies carrying out user testing utilised several methods to understand user experience, evidencing a positive attitude from therapists and motivated and satisfied patients.Future Research: The roles of virtual therapists for motor rehabilitation needs to be explored further in rigorous empirical studies to gather data on patient and therapist user experience. Considerable potential was identified in the development of virtual therapists and therapeutic alliance in the virtual environment. Future systems should reduce manual input from therapists and include personalisation and individualised patient feedback.Systematic Review Registration: [https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=357369], PROSPERO ID [CRD42022357369].
Hands-Only Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Education for Elementary School Students in Korea: Tracking by School Grade, Physical Characteristics, and Physical Strength
Authors: Ko Jang Sik , Kim Seon Rye , Cho Byung Jun 
Published: February 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to assess variations in chest compression depth among Korean elementary school students based on grade, physical characteristics, and strength.Methods: The study involved 140 children in the third to sixth grades from elementary schools. Before providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education, we assessed height, weight, BMI, grip strength, and back strength. Subsequently, CPR education was administered, followed by individual measurements of compression depth. The factors related to compression depths was analyzed using t-test, ANOVA and multivariable regression.Results: The mean compression depth was consistently lower than the guideline standard across all grades, indicating grade-dependent differences (p = 0.000). Moreover, height, weight, BMI, grip strength and back strength increased, exhibited significant increases with grade (p = 0.000). In multivariable regression analysis, it was observed that as grade increased, chest compression depth increased by 0.701 cm (p = 0.000).Conclusion: School grade significantly influenced achieving the proper chest compressions depth, no notable correlation found for physical factors. Thus, a strategy emphasizing the importance of sufficient chest compressions during CPR education, particularly targeting elementary school students, seems necessary to encourage greater effort.

Published: February 2024

The paper is a continuation and completion of the paper Bruno, A.D.; Azimov, A.A. Parametric Expansions of an Algebraic Variety Near Its Singularities. Axioms 2023, 5, 469, where we calculated parametric expansions of the three-dimensional algebraic manifold Ω, which appeared in theoretical physics, near its 3 singular points and near its one line of singular points. For that we used algorithms of Nonlinear Analysis: extraction of truncated polynomials, using the Newton polyhedron, their power transformations and Formal Generalized Implicit Function Theorem. Here we calculate parametric expansions of the manifold Ω near its one more singular point, near two curves of singular points and near infinity. Here we use 3 new things: (1) computation in algebraic extension of the field of rational numbers, (2) expansions near a curve of singular points and (3) calculation of branches near infinity.

Published: February 2024

Climate change is expected to intensify the occurrence of abiotic stress in plants, such as hypoxia and salt stresses, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which need to be effectively managed by various oxido-reductases encoded by the so-called ROS gene network. Here, we studied six oxido-reductases families in three Brassicaceae species, Arabidopsis thaliana as well as Nasturtium officinale and Eutrema salsugineum, which are adapted to hypoxia and salt stress, respectively. Using available and new genomic data, we performed a phylogenomic analysis and compared RNA-seq data to study genomic and transcriptomic adaptations. This comprehensive approach allowed for the gaining of insights into the impact of the adaptation to saline or hypoxia conditions on genome organization (gene gains and losses) and transcriptional regulation. Notably, the comparison of the N. officinale and E. salsugineum genomes to that of A. thaliana highlighted changes in the distribution of ohnologs and homologs, particularly affecting class III peroxidase genes (CIII Prxs). These changes were specific to each gene, to gene families subjected to duplication events and to each species, suggesting distinct evolutionary responses. The analysis of transcriptomic data has allowed for the identification of genes related to stress responses in A. thaliana, and, conversely, to adaptation in N. officinale and E. salsugineum.

Phosphate (P) is a crucial macronutrient for normal plant growth and development. The P availability in soils is a limitation factor, and understanding genetic factors playing roles in plant adaptation for improving P uptake is of great biological importance. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have become indispensable tools in unraveling the genetic basis of complex traits in various plant species. In this study, a comprehensive GWAS was conducted on diverse tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) accessions grown under normal and low P conditions for two weeks. Plant traits such as shoot height, primary root length, plant biomass, shoot inorganic content (SiP), and root inorganic content (RiP) were measured. Among several models of GWAS tested, the Bayesian-information and linkage disequilibrium iteratively nested keyway (BLINK) models were used for the identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Among all the traits analyzed, significantly associated SNPs were recorded for PB, i.e., 1 SNP (SSL4.0CH10_49261145) under control P, SiP, i.e., 1 SNP (SSL4.0CH08_58433186) under control P and 1 SNP (SSL4.0CH08_51271168) under low P and RiP i.e., 2 SNPs (SSL4.0CH04_37267952 and SSL4.0CH09_4609062) under control P and 1 SNP (SSL4.0CH09_3930922) under low P condition. The identified SNPs served as genetic markers pinpointing regions of the tomato genome linked to P-responsive traits. The novel candidate genes associated with the identified SNPs were further analyzed for their protein-protein interactions using STRING. The study provided novel candidate genes, viz. Solyc10g050370 for PB under control, Solyc08g062490, and Solyc08g062500 for SiP and Solyc09g010450, Solyc09g010460, Solyc09g010690, and Solyc09g010710 for RiP under low P condition. These findings offer a glimpse into the genetic diversity of tomato accessions’ responses to P uptake, highlighting the potential for tailored breeding programs to develop P-efficient tomato varieties that could adapt to varying soil conditions, making them crucial for sustainable agriculture and addressing global challenges, such as soil depletion and food security.

Dwarfing is one of the common phenotypic variations in asexually reproduced progeny of banana, and dwarfed banana is not only windproof and anti-fallout but also effective in increasing acreage yield. As a key gene in the strigolactone signalling pathway, DWARF53 (D53) plays an important role in the regulation of the height of plants. In order to gain insight into the function of the banana D53 gene, this study conducted genome-wide identification of banana D53 gene based on the M. acuminata, M. balbisiana and M. itinerans genome database. Analysis of MaD53 gene expression under high temperature, low temperature and osmotic stress based on transcriptome data and RT-qPCR was used to analyse MaD53 gene expression in different tissues as well as in different concentrations of GA and SL treatments. In this study, we identified three MaD53, three MbD53 and two MiD53 genes in banana. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that D53 Musa are equally related to D53 Asparagales and Poales. Both high and low-temperature stresses substantially reduced the expression of the MaD53 gene, but osmotic stress treatments had less effect on the expression of the MaD53 gene. GR24 treatment did not significantly promote the height of the banana, but the expression of the MaD53 gene was significantly reduced in roots and leaves. GA treatment at 100 mg/L significantly promoted the expression of the MaD53 gene in roots, but the expression of this gene was significantly reduced in leaves. In this study, we concluded that MaD53 responds to GA and SL treatments, but “Yinniaijiao” dwarf banana may not be sensitive to GA and SL.
Improving the competences of public servants regarding the management of local development on the basis of process management
Authors: Atanasov Mykola 
Published: February 2024

The article substantiates directions for improving the competencies of public officials in managing local development on the basis of process management. It is noted that improving the competences of public officials in managing local development on the basis of process management is an urgent need today. The need to systematize public officials ideas about the essential features and features of process management is proven, namely: basic types of activities in process management; models and measurements of process maturity; process efficiency index calculations; process management success factors; optimization of processes (rules and principles of reengineering).
For effective management of local development on the basis of process management, the development of professional competencies of public servants should be carried out through the formation of a holistic vision of the desired state of the municipal entity as a system with detailed outcomes. This will require skills and abilities to align strategic processes with a holistic vision, digitize processes, and further optimize them. Key in this context are the marketing competence of public officials and their mastery of techniques for activating behavioral insights, including community members.
Anomalous heat generation that cannot be explained by known chemical reactions produced by nano-structured multilayer metal composites and hydrogen gas
Authors: Iwamura Yasuhiro , Itoh Takehiko , Yamauchi Shinobu , Takahashi Tomonori 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Anomalously large heat generation phenomena that cannot be explained by any known chemical processes were discovered: Ni-based nano-structured multilayer metal composites were preloaded with hydrogen gas and heated rapidly to diffuse hydrogen and trigger the heat generation reaction. Maximum energy released per total hydrogen absorption was over 10 keV H–1 and no gamma rays or neutrons, which are harmful to the human body, were observed. It is possible to intentionally induce the heat burst phenomenon, which can increase the amount of heat generated without any new energy input. This can be applied to reaction control as well as to improving the accuracy of heat generation evaluation. A common feature, that regions of very high oxygen concentrations are observed in places, was observed in the heat-producing samples. At this time, however, the discussion of this oxygen concentration as nuclear in origin must exclude the possibility of many chemical processes.
A study on sensitivity to an embedded nanostructure in a micrometer-channel-length Si MOSFET

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Nano-artifact metrics (NAM) is an information security technology that uses a nano-scale random structure as a unique identifier, and is expected to provide secure authentication in the Internet of Things era. For electrical discrimination of the two-dimensional random nanostructure in terms of NAM, we investigated the sensitivity to the nanostructure in a Si MOSFET with micrometer channel length in a simulation and experiment. The device simulation showed that the sensitivity was increased by decreasing the channel length and increasing the height of the nano-convex structures. It also showed that a device with a 10 μm channel length could detect a nano-convex. On the other hand, the fabricated Si MOSFET with a 50 nm height nano-convex showed lower nanostructure sensitivity than that expected in the simulation. A detailed analysis indicated that the degradation of the sensitivity was attributed to fabrication process issues, including the unintentional reduction of the convex size and high source and drain resistance.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
The pellicle plays a crucial role in the EUV photolithography process and has garnered increased attention from advanced semiconductor manufacturers as they strive to advance development for smaller process nodes. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are highly promising for EUV pellicle applications due to their exceptional mechanical, thermal, and optical properties. It is necessary for the pellicle to be durable and robust enough to withstand extreme scanner conditions, which involve combinations of high temperatures and active hydrogen species generated by EUV light. In this study, we present test results conducted to simulate the environment of the next-generation 600 W scanner using the NewSUBARU synchrotron light source facility. Our investigation focused on evaluating the performance of CNT films, both with and without protective coating layers. Surprisingly, the results indicate that the CNT film without coating demonstrated the most promising characteristics for pellicle applications, showcasing superior performance in the demanding EUV scanner environment.

The health of adolescent girls greatly determines the success of health development, especially in efforts to produce the quality of the nation's future generation in the future because adolescent girls are prospective mothers who will become pregnant and give birth to a baby. The prevalence of anemia in the world ranges from 40-88% and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls in developing countries is around 53.7%. Basic Health Research Data (Riskesdas) in 2018 shows that the prevalence of anemia in Indonesia in women is 27.2% and in men it is 20.3%. Anemia is more common in young women, namely 32.0% in the 15-24 year age group. The problem encountered is that information about Fe tablets is still limited, while the iron requirements of adolescent girls are higher than those of adolescent boys, because it is needed to replace iron lost during menstruation and prevent anemia in future mothers-to-be. The aim of this community service is to increase the knowledge of young women about using Fe tablets and carrying out Hb checks at Dayah Terpadu Al-Madinatuddiniyah Syamsuddhuha, Dewantara District, North Aceh Regency. The method for implementing community service activities lasts 3 days, namely the first day begins with a pre-test followed by providing material on the use of Fe tablets, on the second day an Hb examination is carried out and on the third day there is a distribution of Fe tablets and a post-test. The results obtained were an increase in knowledge in the pre-test evaluation, good knowledge from 60% to 90% in the post-test evaluation, and the majority of Hb examination results were not anemia, namely 93%. It is hoped that young women will continue to increase information about the use of Fe tablets and be obedient in consuming Fe tablets and carrying out regular Hb checks.
