Modified bipolar membrane for electrodialysis processing of highly concentrated sodium nitrate and boric acid solution
Authors: Romanyuk Nazar , Loza Julia , Loza Sergey , Kovalchuk Nikita , Zabolotsky Victor 
Published: January 2025

We studied the characteristics of two membranes: the industrial bipolar membrane MB-3, consisting of two layers, i.e., an anion exchanger with quaternary ammonium groups and a cation exchanger with phosphonate groups, and the membrane MB-3M, modified on the cation exchange side with a 100 μm thick layer of perfluorosulfonic acid. The analysis of the selectivity of the initial and modified membranes in a wide range of current densities (0.25–4 A/dm2) showed that the application of a perfluorosulfonic acid layer leads to a decrease in the transport of nitrate anions by 18–40 times, depending on the current density, compared to the initial industrial membrane MB-3. Experiments on electrodialysis processing of a mixed 0.5 M NaNO3 and 0.75 M H3BO3 solution showed that the use of a bipolar membrane modified with a perfluorosulfonic acid, at a sodium nitrate processing degree of 75%, allows obtaining a 1.01 M NaOH solution with a low impurity content (0.08 M sodium nitrate and 0.09 M boric acid) and 1.17 M HNO3 (sodium nitrate content 0.09 M, boric acid 0.09 M). When using the initial MB-3 membrane under the same conditions, 0.77 M NaOH with a high content of impurities (0.25 M sodium nitrate and 0.08 M boric acid) and 1.03 M HNO3 (containing 0.09 M sodium nitrate and 0.09 M boric acid) are obtained. The energy consumption for processing is comparable to that for the initial bipolar membrane MB-3 and amounts to 0.15 kW·h/mol.
Elemental Substitution and Compositional Evolution of Tourmaline and Dumortierite Formation in Muscovite-schist Rock of Sakoli Area in Bhandara District, Central India

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
Paleoproterozoic metapelitic schistose rocks are closely associated with the tourmaline deposit in the Girola area of the Sakoli Group of rocks of the Central India Tectonic Zone (CITZ). In this area, shear zones have effectively played a significant role in the formation and distribution of tourmaline along with hosts of minerals like garnet, sillimanite, dumortierite, etc. Local tourmaline concentrations can be found within quartz mylonites, granite mylonites, phyllonites, etc. wherein they are present as solitary crystal clusters, or discontinuous tourmaline bands or pockets. Mineralogical and chemical changes have been documented within these rocks in Girola Hill. The preliminary study had indicated the presence of tourmaline varieties, namely- schorl, dravite, foitite, elbite, liddicoatite, dumortierite, along with sillimanite, muscovite, sericite, rutile, topaz, and corundum. The presence of apatite, Sr-phosphate, and fluorite was also noticed. Within the assemblage zone, variations in boron metasomatism and potash leaching appear to be regulating variations in mineral assemblages and overall rock chemistry. Magmatic-metasomatic fluids have partially altered the original sedimentary patterns, according to the elemental analysis of the materials. The alteration could be due to interactions of schists with B-, F-carrying fluid. Tourmaline-rich assemblages develop when the fluid’s boron reacts with the nearby schistose rocks, leading to sheet silicate to cease functioning as a trap for Na, K, and Ba. Further metasomatic activity results in the formation of dumortierite from the tourmaline assemblages.
Analysis of Landfill Site Suitability for Solid Waste Disposal in the Ranchi District of Jharkhand, India Using Analytical Hierarchy Process and Geo-Spatial Techniques
Authors: Shubham  , Singh Ajai 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
The selection of an appropriate landfill site is a complex issue due to the involvement of numerous criteria and constraints. A non-engineered and unsuitable site can harm the environment, society and economy of an area. This paper focuses on the application of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), a multi-criteria decisionmaking technique, to determine suitable landfill sites. A total of nine parameters have been used namely; groundwater depth, slope, geology, existing landfill site, drainage density, road network, land use and land cover (LULC), railway lines and airport. The weights were calculated using AHP. A landfill site suitability map was generated with 5 classified areas namely; most unsuitable (0.07%), unsuitable (5.42%), less suitable (23.94%), moderately suitable (58.24%) and most suitable (12.38%). The areas identified in the study can be used by policymakers in both urban as well as rural developmental planning and waste management. Using the patches of land from the landfill suitability map, a decentralised community-based landfill model can also be adopted to minimize and possibly eliminate the need for large landfill sites.
Temporal Assessment of Recent Erosion and Accretion in the Ganga and Alaknanda Rivers in Parts of Garhwal Himalaya, India: Unveiling the Linkages with Anthropogenic and Climatic Events
Authors: Adhikari Varun , Shankar Ravi 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
Unravelling erosion and accretion patterns of rivers with the application of remote sensing and GIS tools leads us to understand the river morphology and its behaviour. In the recent past, the catchment areas of river Ganga and its major tributary Alaknanda River affirmed some unprecedented anthropogenic interventions such as infrastructure boom, and deforestation as well as catastrophic climatic events. Considering these factors, the present study evaluates the erosion and accretion pattern of these river sections in the Garhwal Himalaya, India. The shape files of river sections of duration between 2017 to 2022 were extracted from high-resolution Sentinel-2, Land Use Land Cover (LULC) imageries. To understand their exactitude effect on river dynamics, these patterns are further correlated with recognised anthropogenic activities and natural events.
Duration of the Occurrence of Mw ≥ 4.5 Aftershocks of the 2 April 2024 Mw 7.4 Hualin, Taiwan Earthquake
Authors: Rajesh Rekapalli , Gupta Harsh K. 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
Taiwan was shaken in the early morning of 2 April 2024 by an Mw 7.4 earthquake. Earthquakes of magnitude 7 and above are normally followed by damaging aftershocks. It is useful to have an estimate as to how long such aftershocks will continue. This knowledge helps in the recovery process. The duration of occurrence of the aftershocks of certain magnitudes can be estimated using Omori’s Law. Using the data of the aftershocks of the first 14 days after the Hualien earthquake, we estimated that the Mw ≥ 4.5 aftershocks shall continue for 80 days. Now, we are presenting analysis of recently available catalog up to 80 days to check and validate the prediction. Our analysis suggests that the rate of Mw ≥ 4.5 aftershocks in the region has gone down to the background seismicity rate after the estimated period of time.
Unlocking the mind-body connection: An HRV-based assessment of cardiac autonomic responses to yogic postures
Authors: Rathore Mrithunjay , Khandelwal Ekta , Rathore Vandana 
Published: January 2025

The cardiac autonomic nervous system (CANS) plays a crucial role in regulating cardiovascular health. While yoga is considered an effective lifestyle intervention for enhancing autonomic regulation, most existing studies focus on the effects of meditation or breathing practices. Limited research exists on the influence of specific yogic postures on heart rate variability (HRV), a sensitive indicator of cardiac autonomic function.: This study aimed to investigate the immediate impact of specific yoga asanas, namely Padahastasana (PD), Ardha Chakrasana (AD), Ardhkatichakrasan Right (AKRD), Ardhkatichakrasan Left (AKLD), Trikonasana Right (TRD), Trikonasana Left (TLD), and Sarvangasana (SD) on HRV in healthy individuals. This observational pilot study was conducted with 30 healthy male volunteers aged 18–30 years. HRV was recorded for 15 minutes for each participant during the pre, during-, and post-asana phases. The frequency and time-domain components of HRV were analysed using SPSS 21.0. Significant changes were observed in the frequency domain parameters such as the LF/HF ratio, LF power, and HF power post-intervention. Notably, backward and inversion asana significantly increased vagal modulation, suggesting a shift towards parasympathetic dominance. The findings of this study indicate that specific yoga asana significantly modulate cardiac autonomic regulation, underscoring their potential utility in cardiovascular health and rehabilitation. Further research is warranted to explore the long-term impact of these postures on cardiac autonomic function.
Distopías, tiempo, libertad y sexo: La visión francesa del cine de ciencia ficción en la década de 1960
Authors: Benites Mélida , Blancas Jendy 
Published: January 2025

: La película francoitaliana “Barbarella” (Vadim 1968) es uno de los mayores referentes del género de ciencia ficción en la cultura popular de la década de 1960. Sin embargo, su origen francés y su enfoque único del género resultan llamativos y surge la pregunta de si comparte rasgos similares con sus contemporáneas de ciencia ficción. Esta cuestión será abordada a través de un análisis de las películas “Alphaville: Une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution” (Godard, 1965), “Fahrenheit 451” (Truffaut, 1966) y “Je t’aime, je t’aime” (Resnais, 1968). Se destacan elementos como la búsqueda de libertad, la ambientación de realidades distópicas y la presencia de personajes contrastantes en el conjunto de películas, pero abordados desde la visión personal de cada autor.
PHYSIS U FILOZOFIJI MILEĆANA
Authors: MILJEVIĆ ANA 
Published: January 2025

Poimanje φύσις-a u filozofiji Milećana po nužnosti stvari otpočinje uvidom u predfilozofsko razumevanje životne snage u Homerovim epovima kao organskog jedinstva božanskog i φύσις-a. Zadatak ovog uvida je da istakne neodvojivost božanskog od počela (αρχή) onoga što jeste u stalnom bivanju. U radu se izraz božanskog u filozofiji Milećana vidi na bitno različit način od onog kako ga razume helenska običajnost. Razumevanju božanskog u filozofiji Milećana na suštinski način od-govara „geometrijski metod“ kojim su otkrivali φύσις, a koji leži u zakonima proporcije, harmonije, simetrije. Kao ono što pred-vodi promenu, αρχή je nosilac poretka koji se pokazuje u geometrijskim zakonitostima. U tom smislu, ono oko čega su se okupili Tales, Anaksimandar i Anaksimen nije samo svojevrsni vitalizam, koji αρχή Milećana posmatra kao ono što nosi život (ζωή), već božanski poredak φύσις–a u tvarnom počelu koji pred-vodi svaku promenu. Ovim su Milećani otvorili metodske postupke u promišljanju poput geometrizacije, kvantifikacije, zakona analogije i načela dovoljnog razloga. Stoga se u radu pažnja pridaje Anaksimandrovom određenju počela kao ἄπειρον-na, te se posebno izlažu razlozi za ovaj Anaksimandrov izbor.
ТЕРОР И ТЕРАПИЈА У ЛЕТУ ИЗНАД КУКАВИЧЈЕГ ГНЕЗДA: СЛИКЕ ЕЛЕКТРОКОНВУЛЗИВНЕ ТЕРАПИЈЕ У РОМАНУ КЕНА КИЗИЈА И ФИЛМУ МИЛОША ФОРМАНА
Authors: Сурла Милица Б. , Гордић Петковић Владислава С. 
Published: January 2025

Роман Лет изнад кукавичјег гнезда, објављен пре више од шест деценија, одавно је стекао статус култног, барем када се говори о шездесетим годинама прошлог века у Сједињеним Америчким Државама. Како због своје књижевне вредности, тако и тематског и културолошког значаја, ово дело и даље поставља питања односа хуманог и механичког тако што преиспитује технолошке промене и њихов утицај на људско тело. Кизијев роман настаје као рефлексија ставова исказаних и у мноштву психијатријске, а посебно социјално-психијатријске литературе, те се стога овај рад бави анализом приказа електроконвулзивне терапије (ЕКТ) у роману Лет изнад кукавичјег гнезда и филмског остварења снимљеног по предлошку овог дела. Како бисмо, у светлу културноисторијског тренутка у коме се појављује најпре роман, а потом и филм, сагледали значај овог феномена, а самим тим и везу између електрошок терапије и поменута два наратива, потребно је најпре се осврнути на неколико значајних друштвених фактора, попут контракултуре шездесетих година, aнтипсихијатрије, ставова самог аутора романа, као и на деловање скупине под називом Веселе Шаљивџије (Merry Pranksters) чији је Кизи предводник. У оваквом теоријском оквиру и на основу анализе представљања примене ЕКТ-а може се закључити да је у приповедном свету романа терапија замењена терором. Другим речима, оно што доминира у оквирима оба наратива јесте борба појединца против ауторитарног поретка чији је основни инструмент управо машина која би требало да омогући опоравак, машина која подстиче развој страха и анксиозности, уместо да донесе оздрављење.

Aim: Brain metastases (BM) in patients with lung cancer (LC) are linked to unfavorable outcomes. The eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2 (EEF1A2) is notably overexpressed across various cancer types and plays a role in promoting tumor initiation and progression. This research aimed to clarify the function of EEF1A2 in the context of lung cancer brain metastasis (LCBM) and to explore the mechanisms underlying its effects.
Methods: To identify genes with differential expression between LC and LCBM samples, transcriptomic microarray analyses were conducted, confirming that EEF1A2 expression is elevated in LCBM. EEF1A2 expression levels were validated in multiple LC cell lines. PC9 and SPCA1 cells were transfected with lentiviral vectors carrying siRNAs targeting EEF1A2 to assess its role both in vitro and in vivo . Tandem mass tag proteomics was employed to identify proteins regulated by EEF1A2. The expression of EEF1A2, BCL10, and phosphorylated NF-κB in tumor tissues from LC and LCBM patients was analyzed.
Results: Compared to the LC samples, the LCBM samples exhibited significantly higher levels of EEF1A2 expression. EEF1A2 knockdown in PC9 and SPCA1 cells resulted in substantial reductions in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Proteomic profiling revealed that BCL10 protein levels were markedly reduced in EEF1A2-knockdown cells. Additionally, there was a decrease in phosphorylated NF-κB, EGFR, and mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin, Twist, Snail, Slug, and Cdc42), along with an increase in E-cadherin expression. In a mouse model, EEF1A2 knockdown in PC9 cells significantly inhibited brain metastasis. Furthermore, patient samples presented elevated levels of EEF1A2, BCL10, and phosphorylated NF-κB in LCBM tissues than in LC tissues.
Conclusion: Our research revealed that EEF1A2 is upregulated in LCBM, and that its knockdown suppresses brain metastasis by decreasing BCL10 expression, inhibiting NF-κB signaling, and reducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers. These results suggest that targeting EEF1A2 may be a promising therapeutic approach for preventing and treating brain metastasis in lung cancer patients.
Loi égoïste et espaces autres: Balzac à rebours de la loi
Authors: Gerwin Elisabeth 
Published: January 2025

L’opération d’un réseau occulte en parallèle avec la loi officielle fascinait Balzac, qui y voyait un point d’accès critique et réaliste d’observation sur le système des forces de l’ordre social. Dans Splendeurs et misères des courtisanes, roman de sa maturité, il élabore une contre-société à travers le monde du crime et des courtisanes. Ce réseau souterrain se compare de façon productrice aux « hétérotopies » analysées par Michel Foucault, des « espaces autres » structurellement nécessaires à toute société qui reflètent et dérangent les lieux établis. Pourtant, si Foucault ne pense pas aux habitants voués à maintenir ces espaces autres, Balzac pour sa part cherche à faire parler ces personnages, surtout la courtisane Esther et le maître criminel Vautrin, dont les perspectives illuminent les deux versants, occulte et officiel, d’un monde qui reste profondément égoïste, conservateur et colonial.
Transdiagnostic Mechanisms of Emotional Dysregulation and Self-Criticism Between Maternal Invalidation and Internalizing Symptoms: A Parallel Mediation Model
Authors: Yazib Nur Haziqah Mohd 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

The parent-child relationship in childhood is significant in the child's development of psychopathology in later life, especially the mother who is often the primary caregiver. While invalidation is often associated with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), limited research has examined its association with other forms of psychopathology, specifically in Asia and there is a further gap examining its underlying mechanisms. This study examined the effect of maternal invalidation on various internalizing symptoms and whether difficulties in emotional regulation and self-criticism mediated the association between childhood invalidation and internalizing symptoms. Using a sample of Singaporean adults (N = 359), results revealed that maternal invalidation is significantly associated with symptoms of depression, social anxiety, and eating disorder. Mediation analyses revealed that emotional dysregulation and self-criticism fully mediated the association between maternal invalidation and internalizing symptoms. Overall, the present paper presents a parallel mediation model that delineates the influence of maternal invalidation on various internalizing symptoms through emotional dysregulation and self-criticism, which has been supported in depression and social anxiety disorder only. These findings provide empirical support that emphasizes the non-specificity of invalidation to BPD and the importance of emotional dysregulation and self-criticism in various internalizing symptoms. The implications and limitations are also discussed.
A highly effective self-supplying photosensitizer drug for deep-tissue metastatic tumours treatment

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Due to the inherent defects of photodynamic therapy (PDT), its application in the treatment of deep-tissue metastatic tumours remains challenging. To extend the applicability of PDT, a novel chemiluminescent photosensitizer, Cy7-EOM, was developed by covalently coupling the photosensitizer Cy7 with a peroxycatechol derivative and encapsulating it within folate-modified and disulfide-containing nano-micelles. Upon targeted delivery and selective release, positive charged Cy7-EOM would target the mitochondria and efficiently generate singlet oxygen (1O2) via intramolecular chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) by endogenous H2O2, directly inducing mitochondrial damage and cell apoptosis, realizing an efficient PDT for deep-tissue metastatic tumours. Remarkably, the covalent linkage between the donor and the acceptor greatly reduces the distance, significantly enhancing CRET efficiency. Moreover, the tumour-specific decomposition of the nano-micelles prevents aggregation-induced quenching and mitigates the diffusion barrier of 1O2, while in normal tissues the integrality of nano-micelles shields the lethal effects of 1O2. This method provides a new strategy for transforming adjuvant photosensitizers into direct therapeutic drugs, with significant potential for clinical application in the treatment of metastatic tumours.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Molten salts are crucial for clean energy applications, yet exploring their thermophysical properties across diverse chemical spaces remains challenging. We present the development of a machine learning interatomic potential (MLIP) called SuperSalt, which targets 11-cation chloride melts and captures the essential physics of molten salts with near-DFT accuracy. Using an efficient workflow that integrates systems of one, two, and 11 components, the SuperSalt potential can accurately predict thermophysical properties such as density, bulk modulus, thermal expansion, and heat capacity. Our model is validated across a broad chemical space, demonstrating excellent transferability. We further illustrate how Bayesian optimization combined with SuperSalt can accelerate the discovery of optimal salt compositions with desired properties. This work provides a foundation for future studies that allows easy extensions to more complex systems, such as those containing additional elements. SuperSalt represents a shift towards a more universal, efficient, and accurate modeling of molten salts for advanced energy applications.
