Abstract
The U(VI) sorption behavior on dolomite was systematically investigated in a dilute carbonate solution using batch technique. The distribution coefficients (K
d) increased with the increasing time and temperature, but decreased with the increase of initial U(VI) concentration and ionic strength. As the initial pH increased from 2.0 to 10.5, the K
d values first increased and then decreased, mainly due to the transition from electrostatic attraction to repulsion caused by the changes in U(VI) species. The sorption process was well-described by pseudo-second-order kinetic and Freundlich isotherm models, and was spontaneous, endothermic, heterogeneous, and pH-dependent. In the presence of HA/FA, at low pH, more HAs/FAs were adsorbed on dolomite surface, providing more sorption sites for the positively charged U(VI) species, and promoting the U(VI) sorption. At high pH, more HAs/FAs were dispersed in solution, encapsulating the negatively charged U(VI) species in aggregates, and inhibiting the U(VI) sorption. The promoting and inhibiting effects of HA on the sorption process are obviously stronger than FA. XPS spectra indicated that the surface ‒OH and CO3
2− on the hydroxylated dolomite and the –OH groups in HA/FA may be involved in U(VI) sorption. The results reported here provide valuable references for further understanding U(VI) migration in geological media.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has attracted extensive research interest in pollutants remediation. However, the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 was significantly limited by its small specific surface area. In this work, a green, high-energy ball milling method was used to fabricate g-C3N4 nanosheets. The structure, morphology, and optical properties of the prepared g-C3N4 nanosheets were characterized. The effect of ball milling parameters on the photocatalytic performance evaluated by Rhodamine B (RhB) and tetracycline (TC) was investigated systemically. Among the tested samples, the g-C3N4 sample milled with a 4 mL isopropanol solution at a rotation speed of 420 rpm, ball-to-powder weight ratio of 10:1, and milling time of 24 h exhibited the highest RhB degradation efficiency of 91.4% and TC degradation efficiency of 70.2%. The enhanced photocatalytic activity after ball milling was ascribed to the increase in specific surface area and efficient separation of electron–hole pairs. The trapping experiment indicated that holes and superoxide radicals were the main active species in the degradation reaction. Moreover, the photocatalytic degradation mechanism of organic pollutants on g-C3N4 nanosheets was also discussed in detail.

Abstract

Objectives
Colon cancer is the most common gastrointestinal cancer worldwide with high morbidity and mortality rates. The main purpose of our study is to elucidate the interaction mechanism of the H+ ion concentration effect in the CO2/HCO3
− buffer system of tumor-associated carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) enzyme inhibition in the HT-29 colon cancer cell line on cell epigenetic modifications.

Methods
Cell culture was performed using the human colon cancer cell line HT-29. CA IX enzyme inhibitor Acetazolamide (AZA) was administered. The results of the cell viability test and inhibition were evaluated. Extracellular pH measurements were performed. Total histone protein isolation was performed and Histone H3 modifications were analyzed by ELISA method. After RNA isolation, complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis was carried out. RT-PCR was performed to determine the gene expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1A (HIF1A), enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and CA IX.

Results
CA IX enzyme inhibition in the HT-29 cell line decreased the expression of CA IX (p<0.05) and HIF1A (p<0.01) genes and increased the expression of the EZH2 (p<0.05). There was a significant decrease in the expression of CA IX (p<0.05) and HIF1A genes as a result of inhibition with AZA performed under hypoxic conditions. It was observed that CA IX enzyme inhibition increases the expression of the EZH2 gene by more than 3 times (p<0.01). As a result of AZA inhibition, methylation levels were observed to increase in normoxic conditions, while methylation levels were observed to decrease in hypoxic conditions.

Conclusions
Observing the changes in the H3 modifications and changes in the expression of CA IX, HIF1A and EZH2 genes in this study supports that CA IX enzyme inhibition plays an active role in epigenetic modifications.
A Scoping Review of the Predictive Qualities of Walking Speed in Older Adults
Authors: Hainline Garrett , Hainline Robin D. , Handlery Reed , Fritz Stacy 
Published: October 2023

Background and Purpose:
Walking speed (WS) is an easily assessable and interpretable functional outcome measure with great utility for the physical therapist providing care to older adults. Since WS was proposed as the sixth vital sign, research into its interpretation and use has flourished. The purpose of this scoping review is to identify the current prognostic value of WS for the older adult.

Methods:
A scoping review was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus to find relevant articles highlighting the predictive capabilities of WS for older adults. Titles and abstracts were reviewed to identify relevant articles. Articles were excluded based on the following criteria: sample included both younger and older adults without separate analyses, sample was focused on a particular disease, if the study was published before 2017, or if the study did not report relevant cut points for interpretation of WS. The search returned 1064 results. Following removal of articles not meeting inclusion criteria and critical appraisal, relevant cut points were extracted from 47 original research publications.

Results and Discussion:
A preliminary review of the included articles showed that WS is a valuable prognostic tool across many health domains, including mental health, mortality, disability, pain, bone and joint health, falls, cognition, physical activity, metabolic health, risk for cardiovascular disease, socialization, and metabolic health. The fastest WS of 1.32 meters per second (m/s) served as a cutoff for decreased risk for incident development of type 2 diabetes, while the slowest WS of less than 0.2 m/s was associated with increased duration of hospitalization. Multiple studies reported on the prognostic value of WS slower than 1.0 m/s.

Conclusion:
Although the reported range of predictive WS values was broad, multiple studies found WS of approximately 1.0 m/s to be a useful marker for delineating risk or decline across a variety of health domains. Clinicians may find it useful to use a WS slower than 1.0 m/s as a “yellow flag” to guide evaluation and intervention for their older adult clients.

Published: October 2023

The Disease Control Division, Ministry of Health states that mortality data are a crucial tool for examining a community's health. Several studies have been conducted on developing a predictive model to predict the mortality rate but most of them are applying the standard machine learning models. Hence, this study is conducted with its main objective to develop the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models in predicting the general mortality rate in Malaysia and compare the predicted mortality rates between data with and without post-pandemic statistics. The death rate was investigated using the 2022 Revision of World Population Prospects, the twenty-seventh edition of official United Nations population estimates and projections issued by the Population Division of the United Nations Secretariat's Department of Economic and Social Affairs. A Z-test was employed to investigate if the 2021 and 2022 mortality rates bring any significant difference to the predicted mortality rates. The findings confirm the superiority of the LSTM model in accurately predicting mortality rates compared to RNN with the inclusion of post-pandemic data did not significantly affect the model's predictions. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of Malaysian mortality rates and provides a foundation for future investigations in this field. The accuracy in predicting the future mortality rates, particularly in pandemic scenarios, remains challenging and requires further research.

Authors: YaNan Hao  , V.C. Tai  , Y.C. Tan  
Published: October 2023

This paper introduces an innovative crowd counting algorithm using skin color information. Through stages of color space transformation, threshold segmentation, morphological processing, and region filtering, the algorithm successfully conducts crowd counting in images. The study encompasses analyses of images with diverse crowd densities, skin colors, backgrounds, and lighting intensities, revealing the algorithm's robustness to various factors. It remains unaffected by skin color and crowd size and exhibits minimal sensitivity to background and lighting intensity. Furthermore, the paper explores image feature analysis and uses MATLAB programming for simulation and initial crowd counting, considering images with different actual crowd sizes. Despite minor issues such as the insufficient separation of faces from clothing and the influence of lighting intensity, the algorithm performs reliably in most scenarios, demonstrating high crowd counting accuracies. To bolster the accuracy and robustness of the algorithm, optimization of the separation step and control of the lighting effect on images is suggested. The key focus of this study is the application of the Gaussian model in the YCbCr color space for face detection and examining its impact on the efficiency and accuracy of crowd counting algorithm. The research not only provides a novel approach for crowd counting in images but also offers insightful perspectives for future studies and potential improvements. Thus, the study proves to be a significant contribution to face detection and recognition technology, enhancing its application in fields like public safety, crowd management, and surveillance systems.

Diachronic Research into Translation Norms: The Case of Literary Discourse
Authors: Butkuvienė Karolina , Petrulionė Lolita 
Published: October 2023

The article addresses the issue of the translation of fiction in different periods of time under the influence of various linguistic, social and cultural norms, and it aims to establish differences in the use of translation strategies employed by the translator. The paper reviews the descriptive approach in Translation Studies which argues that translation is a communicative as well as social act where the translator alone is not responsible for his/her translational behaviour; other people and institutions also contribute to the formation of common notions of translational behaviour, and these are termed norms, conventions or rules. Moreover, the research emphasizes that norms are not a stable phenomenon and may vary across different periods of time and across different cultures or communities. The research is based on the contrastive analysis of two translations of Jack London’s Martin Eden with the aim to establish differences in the use of translation strategies under the influence of translation norms.
Tolstoy’s Happy Children of Peace. The Wartime Translation of 'Sebastopol in December' (1855)
Authors: Regniers Gaëtan 
Published: October 2023

A geopolitical clash between Russia and other European powers, the Crimean War (1854–1856) witnessed the first mediatized armed conflict in modern history. During the war, the young Lev Tolstoy wrote and published three Sevastopol Sketches, based on his wartime experiences in the besieged port of Sevastopol. Upon publication, the first of the stories was translated into French and published within a fortnight. Une journée à Sévastopol en décembre 1854 featured in Le Nord, a Brussels newspaper covertly operated by the Russian government. An in-depth analysis of the translation shows that the text was abridged and carefully groomed to serve Russia’s interests and Tolstoy’s patriotism made way for an appeal to the target audience, designated as ‘happy children of peace.’ Elaborating on the origins of the translation and its publishing context, I argue that this particular translation needs to be read both as an act of soft power and as an act of diplomacy. If the target text is considered as a historical document among other sources, empirical historical research can prove beneficial to the discipline and move forward the debate on Translation Studies’ approach to highly ideological contexts, in particular translations in periodicals.

Authors: Simkó Georgina , Uvacsek Martina 
Published: October 2023

AbstractEarly identification and lifestyle intervention is beneficial for people with risk for diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in healthy overweight or obese women using the FINDRISC score and a twelve-week long mobile app-based lifestyle intervention.Fifty-four subjects were involved and forty-eight were analysed, n = 28 in the intervention group (online group: OG) and n = 20 in the control group (CG). Body composition was assessed using the InBody 720 device and diabetes risk was evaluated with the Finnish Diabetes Risk Questionnaire. The calorie intake and macronutrients were evaluated by a 3-day diary. Group differences and pre- and post-results were analysed using student t-tests by TIBCO Statistica 13.40.14.Significantly decreased body mass index (28.0 ± 2.5 kg m−2 vs 25.8 ± 4.3 kg m−2, P = 0.00), body fat percentage (37.5 ± 6.3% vs 34.1 ± 5.9%, P = 0.03), waist circumference (100.8 ± 7.2 cm vs 94.7 ± 8.2 cm, P = 0.00) and visceral fat (124.0 ± 29.2 cm³ vs 109.0 ± 24.6 cm³, P = 0.04) were found in the OG. By the end of the programme, both groups showed significant decrease in food consumption, daily calorie intake (OG: 2,348.6 ± 348.0 vs 1,483.1 ± 114.4, CG: 2,372.4 ± 464.2 vs 1,654.1 ± 201.3 kcal day−1, P = 0.00), fibre (OG: 19.5 ± 3.7 vs 26.1 ± 3.4, CG: 17.8 ± 3.9 vs 22.0 ± 4.8 g day−1, P = 0.00) and cholesterol consumption (OG: 365.2 ± 58.9 vs 266.2 ± 65.8, CG: 377.4 ± 72.1 vs 269.2 ± 42.7 mg day−1, P = 0.00). OG had a more significant reduction in body mass index (P = 0.03) and body fat percentage (P = 0.04) values at the end of the programme compared to the control group.In this study, it was found that mHealth intervention is a useful and effective method in the Hungarian female population. Further studies are needed to investigate modifications of this intervention to achieve more health-related effects.
Powstanie i działalność Domu Ubogich „na Hucie” w Tarnowie jako kościelnej instytucji społeczno-opiekuńczej w latach 1934–1990
Authors: Glugla Paweł 
Published: October 2023

Artykuł omawia historię reprezentatywnej inwestycji misjonarskiej w Tarnowie — Domu Ubogich „na Hucie”, powstałego w latach 30. XX wieku w kontekście współczesnych uwarunkowań gospodarczych, społecznych i politycznych. Budową tego obiektu aktywnie interesowali się znani politycy — wicepremier Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski i były premier Ignacy Jan Paderewski. Pomysłodawcą Domu Ubogich był ówczesny proboszcz parafii misjonarskiej w Tarnowie ks. Bronisław Szymański CM, a projektantem inż. Tadeusz Stapf. Dom ten przeszedł wiele przekształceń organizacyjnych, nazewniczych i architektonicznych od momentu powstania w 1934 roku do dnia dzisiejszego. Jednak funkcje i etos jego działalności pozostały niezmienione, zgodnie z duchem Wincentyńskim realizowanym przez misjonarzy i siostry miłosierdzia, polegającym między innymi na świadczeniu dzieł miłosierdzia ubogim, chorym, samotnym, sierotom i niepełnosprawnym.
Znaczenie darów hierarchicznych i charyzmatycznych w świetle wybranych ruchów kościelnych
Authors: Warchoł Paweł 
Published: October 2023

Dary hierarchiczne i charyzmatyczne, które odczytujemy w Nowym Testamencie, są konieczne, aby nowe stowarzyszenia eklezjalne odnawiały się i rozwijały Kościół. Fundamentem tego rozwoju jest współpraca między hierarchią kościelną a charyzmatykami obszernie opracowana w liście Iuvenescit Ecclesia. Nie jest ona możliwa bez pomocy Ducha Świętego, który uzdrawia i buduje ludzkie więzi. Taką współpracę między pasterzami a charyzmatykami zauważamy w historii Kościoła, w tworzeniu zakonów i ruchów kościelnych. Sobór Watykański II przyniósł na nowo powiew Ducha Świętego w postaci narodzin zrzeszeń wiernych, ruchów kościelnych i nowych wspólnot, ukazując moc charyzmatów i świeżość Bożego działania w Kościele. Jednym z nich jest Katolicka Odnowa w Duchu Świętym, która otwierając się na dary Ducha Świętego, niosła i niesie dar odnowy ludzkich serc i doświadczenie obecności Boga. Znajduje ona wciąż zapotrzebowanie wśród świeckich, dlatego jej moc winna przedostać się do krwioobiegu Kościoła, by mógł on dalej ewangelizować i zmieniać ludzkie serca. Doświadczenie założycieli ruchów kościelnych i jego uczestników stanowi czytelne świadectwo dla głodnych Boga ludzi.
Metafizyczny sens osoby i jej relacja do podmiotu. Rekonstrukcja ujęcia Mieczysława A. Krąpca i Karola Wojtyły
Authors: Zięba Włodzimierz 
Published: October 2023

Źródła kategorii osoby sięgają religii i teologii chrześcijańskiej i zasadniczo stąd wypływa jej sens antropologiczny i współczesna kulturowa ranga. Koncepcja osoby w chrześcijaństwie służyła rozwiązaniu problemu wcielenia oraz dogmatu Trójcy Świętej. Pojęcie osoby współcześnie występuje w rozlicznych sensach. W artykule analizuję jej metafizyczny, substancjalny wymiar w oparciu o rozstrzygnięcia Krąpca i Wojtyły. Twierdzę, że w obydwu przypadkach kategoria osoby jest bliskoznaczna kategorii podmiotu. Atrybuty osoby, według Krąpca, to bytowa autonomia i podmiotowa zupełność bytowa, z czego wypływa nieudzielalność. Osoba w tym ujęciu to najwyższy stopień samoistności bytowej, szczytowa forma bytu. Podmiot zaś jest konsekwencją metafizycznego założenia, że wszelki akt jest bytowo niesamodzielny. U Wojtyły punktem wyjścia będzie czyn ludzki, który presuponuje istnienie osób. Poprzez czyn człowiek objawia się jako osoba wraz z jej strukturą samo-posiadania oraz samo-panowania. Czyn ujawnia sprawczość pewnego konkretnego człowieka, jego podmiotowość, czyli samoświadomą przyczynę, tj. samostanowienie i autodeterminację.
