Effect of Modified Zinc Oxide-Silica Nanocomposites on Epoxidized Natural Rubber/Tire Waste Composites Properties
Authors: Kingkohyao Napasorn , Boonsiri Tanit , Nakaramontri Yeampon 
Published: January 2025

Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) was blended with tire waste (TW) and modified zinc oxide-silica nanoparticles (ZnO-SiO2) using melt mixing, with NR acting as a compatibilizer to link the two incompatible phases—between the polar epoxy groups of ENR and the non-polar rubber in TW. Various ZnO-SiO2 concentrations of 5, 10, 15, and 20 phr were investigated to determine their effects on cure characteristics, mechanical properties, and antibacterial efficiency of the received composites. It was found that adding ZnO-SiO2 improved crosslink density, thereby enhancing the acceleration activity of the chemical crosslinking processes, which resulted in longer cure times and scorch times. Optimal loading of 20 phr enhanced the 100% and 300% moduli values to 1.29 and 3.73 MPa, respectively, along with a tensile strength of 10.52 MPa, highlighting the improved mechanical properties of the nanocomposite with ZnO-SiO2 loadings. This optimal loading also provided superior antibacterial activity, achieving over a 99.0% reduction in bacterial presence within 24 h through releasing Zn2+ ions and generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). At this concentration, the optimal values regarding ZnO-SiO2 particles that can form further agglomerates are reached. These findings support the development of rubber composites with improved performance and durability, as well as enhanced antibacterial protection, for various rubber applications, including footwear, self-pads, and rubber floor mats, highlighting their significance in enhancing product safety and longevity.

Authors: ANISUZZAMAN S M , Yih Vivian Michelle 
Published: January 2025

Rice bran is the outer layer of the rice grain, rich in essential nutrients and bioactive compounds. It is a valuable by-product used for various purposes, including the extraction of rice bran oil (RBO) known for its health benefits. This study focused on extracting oil from the nutritious rice bran using both conventional solvent (n-hexane) and bio-based solvent (isopropanol) for comparison under diverse conditions. The RBO yields were analysed at different temperatures of 40oC, 50oC, and 60oC, with bran-to-solvent ratios of 1:3, 1:5, and 1:7, and extraction times of 2, 4, and 6 hours. The highest yields achieved were 12.4% for n-hexane at 60oC, 1:7 ratio, and 6 hours, and 9.76% for isopropanol at 60oC, 1:7 ratio, and 4 hours. The extracted oil underwent comprehensive physical analysis, including density, acid value, free fatty acid, and iodine value test. The physical analysis revealed density values of 0.867 g/mL for n-hexane and 0.866 g/mL for isopropanol. Acid values were 21.48 mg KOH/g (n-hexane) and 26.90 mg KOH/g (isopropanol). Free fatty acid percentages were 10.74% (n-hexane) and 13.45% (isopropanol). Iodine values were 65.48 mg (n-hexane) and 60.40 mg (isopropanol). The collected data were analysed using response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize the extraction condition, predicting the highest yield at 60oC, with a bran-to-oil ratio of 1:5 parts solvent, and an extraction time of 6 hours. Statistical analysis confirmed the significance of the optimization model (p < 0.05). Overall, this study provided valuable insights, advancing more efficient and effective RBO production methods.

Authors: Chindengwike James Daniel 
Published: January 2025

The goal of this research was to investigate the influence of gross capital formation on economic growth in Tanzania. Neoclassical Growth Model was used in this study. The quantitative research approach was used in this study. This study adopted a longitudinal research design, while a documentary review was employed to get secondary data from specific sites. The analysis relied on secondary data on private and public investment. Following the determination of the model's assumptions, a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) was used. Because the data were presented in the form of a time series, stationarity was investigated. This was followed by a unit root test, then a cointegration test. Consideration is given to validity, reliability, and ethical considerations. The study revealed that there is positive association between gross capital formation and economic growth in Tanzania, also the study revealed that there is positive association between government consumption expenditure and economic growth in Tanzania. The study concluded that the economic growth is significantly impacted by gross capital formation. The study recommends that the government should focus more on the implementation and development of policies and strategies pertaining to the fees and charges paid to the government at all administrative levels. It also suggests that penalties be imposed in order to increase capital formation for private and public companies.

Authors: Kitts Suzanne , Stauffer Kory , Flink Tania 
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Nutritional considerations and metabolic determinates for ultra-endurance events continue to evolve with the increasing popularity of events. This case study assessed the nutritional requirements required of 30-year-old male ultra-endurance athlete to successfully complete an endurance open-water swim.
Methods: Dietary intake in preparation for the event was assessed, estimated caloric needs, and a nutritional analysis was performed on the athlete to determine nutritional intake that was required to successfully complete the endurance swim event. The athlete was monitored for 24.3 miles (Ontario, Canada to Northeast, Pennsylvania, United States). Day of nutritional changes were observed, and body composition was assessed pre- and post-event.
Results: The swimmer was monitored for 11 hours, 28 minutes and 5 seconds. Determination of athletes’ potential metabolic energy would shape the energy cost to complete the endurance event. Modifications prior to the ultra-endurance swim event met the athlete’s energy requirement for training and the energy reserve needed for the endurance swim event.
Conclusions: The addition of calories and nutritional modifications prior to the ultra-endurance swim event met the athlete’s energy requirement for training and the energy reserve needed for the endurance swim event. This case study highlights the importance of providing nutritional support for ultra-endurance athletes and the difficulty in predicting energy expenditure for such an event.

Abstract: A vertex set S of a graph G is called an independent dominating set if S is an independent set and each vertex in V(G)\S is adjacent to a vertex in S. The independent domination number i(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of an independent dominating set in G. This paper first proves that if G is a connected \(K_{1,3}\)-free cubic graph, then \(i(G)\leq \frac{1}{3}|V(G)|\). Meanwhile, \(i(G)=\frac{1}{3}|V(G)|\) if and only if \(G\in \mathcal{H}\), where \(\mathcal{H}\) is an infinite cubic family with each graph being a \(C_6^+\)-necklace. Then, it is shown that if G is a \(\{K_{1,3}, K_4^-, C_6^+\}\)-free cubic graph with no \(C_3\Box K_2\)-component, then \(i(G)\leq \frac{5}{18}|V(G)|\). This result is tight.
Capitalizing on the Tidelands: Chinese Migrants, Environmental Conflicts, and the Circuits of US Empire in Nineteenth-Century Oakland
Authors: Klein Andrew 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In 1869, the Pacific seaport of Oakland, California, became the western terminus of the transcontinental railroad. The city's infilled tidelands bridged distant geographies of war and trade, from Nevada mines to Hawai‘i plantations to far-flung naval coaling stations. In Oakland, as in the continental and overseas outposts linked by the city's infrastructure, Chinese contract workers performed much of the dangerous, poorly compensated labor. Chinese fishing villages hugging the shores of Oakland and neighboring cities sustained this system of production. Their bountiful catches fed local Chinese migrants, as well as migrants scattered across the mines and plantations of the Pacific. Populated by former contract workers, the fishing villages offered alternatives to the racial hierarchies, brutal labor, and environmental ruin characterizing the political economy of the post-emancipation era. But Oakland's conversion into a launchpad for military and commercial ventures threatened their ecologies, a food base nourishing the workers who made that conversion possible. In the face of ecological enclosure and state-sanctioned repression, fishing villages managed to multiply. This article traces their footprints, showing how Chinese migrants made use of nature and capitalist markets to escape stifling conditions in the waged economy. Situated at the underexplored intersection of migration and environmental change, the article builds on a growing body of scholarship documenting the reconstruction of race, labor, and property in the post–Civil War American West. It argues that environmental conflicts in a rapidly industrializing Pacific Coast entrepôt reflected contradictions at the heart of the commercial and territorial expansion of the late nineteenth-century United States.
“I Want to Return to My Country”: Ethnic Mexicans Request the Right to Return during the Great Depression
Authors: Guzmán Romeo 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article offers a new history of Mexican repatriation during the Great Depression by focusing on US citizens who returned to Mexico. Using US consular and Department of State files, I argue that ethnic Mexicans who were born in the United States practiced a form of transnational citizenship to demand rights from the US government. From small towns and large cities throughout Mexico, US–born youth, US citizen-parents with children born in the United States, and US citizens married to Mexican nationals visited US consular officials and wrote to US officials, particularly President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In the United States, relatives of US citizens and repatriated Mexican nationals also wrote to US officials. Through these letters, US citizens and their allies noted their hardships and affinities to the United States and demanded “the right to return.” While the US government did not provide US citizens of Mexican ancestry with financial assistance to return to their place of birth, US consuls were important intermediaries between family members in the United States and Mexico. In the end, this was a negotiated process, marked by both success and failure.

Published: January 2025

Nurses are the backbone of hospitals, as they spend more time with patient care compared to other health care professionals. Consistently, nurses are doing their duties in various shifts of different lengths. Usually, long shift duty hours are commonly associated with poor-quality nursing care. Objective: To assess the association of job shift length with quality nursing care in a tertiary care hospital in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Methods: A descriptive correlative design was used to find out the association between study variables. The target population was the registered nurses working in public hospitals in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. A convenient sampling approach was used to collect data from 377 nurses working in tertiary care hospitals in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa via an adapted questionnaire. Data were analyzed through SPSS version 26.0 for the frequency, percentage, and mean for demographic variables, and the association, the Spearman rank correlation test was used. Results: The findings show that the majority of the participants were male (56.2%), and more than half were young nurses (54.9%). There was a strong positive relationship between small shift length and quality nursing care and a weak negative in the case of long shifts. However, individual subscales show a positive association between shift duration and quality nursing care. Conclusions: It was concluded that there was a mixed association between shift length and quality care. The study suggests that proper documentation and working in medium shifts instead of long shifts can enhance patient safety and quality care.

O grão-de-bico (Cicer arietinum L.) é uma leguminosa de grande importância, sobretudo para a saúde, sendo fonte de proteínas, carboidratos, minerais, vitaminas e fibras. Suas sementes podem apresentar diferenças na variabilidade dimensional, sendo importante a padronização por tamanho, com o intuito de facilitar a operação de semeadura e permitir a obtenção de uma população de plantas capaz de propiciar os melhores rendimentos por área. Objetivou-se com o presente trabalho estudar o efeito do tamanho das sementes de grão-de-bico, cultivar BRS Cicero, na sua qualidade fisiológica. Para isso, as sementes foram classificadas em quatro classes de tamanho, com auxílio de quatro peneiras de crivo circular, com 10, 9, 8 e 7 mm de diâmetro. Portanto, os tratamentos foram constituídos por quatro classes de tamanhos de sementes e um lote sem classificação (Controle). Para comparação, efetuaram-se as seguintes análises: teor de água, peso de 1000 sementes, teste de germinação, teste de condutividade elétrica, emergência em areia, índice de velocidade de emergência, envelhecimento acelerado e teste de tetrazólio. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, com os dados submetidos à análise de variância e a comparação entre as médias realizadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. As sementes de grão-de-bico da classe 7 apresentaram menor germinação e vigor. As sementes de grão-de-bico da classe 10 apresentaram elevados índices de danos mecânicos. Recomenda-se a utilização de sementes classificadas em peneiras 8 e 9 milímetros.
