Authors: Das Rajarshi , Santoshi Seneha 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Human papilloma virus is a deadly virus that causes cervical, penile and vulval cancer. The current effort focuses on HPV's lesser-known proteins, as well as its virulence and prevalence in men and women. The leitmotif of this review is to create drugs against the proteins of the Human papilloma Virus as a suggestive solution against the diseases caused by this virus. The study includes the extraction of the protein sequences of the virus from NCBI, followed with the secondary structure prediction with the aid of the usage of online available protein prediction tools; GOR4, Chou and Fasman and phyre2. Homology modelling using SWISSMODEL was done of each protein (E1, E2, L1 and L2) taken from HPV for receiving the appropriate model for the respective proteins. The PDB files for each of the protein were downloaded and used for docking against respective ligands mentioned in this review. The docking results are elaborately discussed in this study.

Abstract
It is essential to develop a mechanism for lowering the molecular weight of polyolefins to achieve biodegradation in seawater. In this study, a prephotodegradation treatment was applied to a blend sample to generate hydroperoxide groups in the polypropylene component of the blend to initiate autoxidation and generate carboxylic acid substances in the poly(lactic acid) component of the blend to promote autoxidation. However, the generated carboxylic acid substances were neutralized in seawater, which is alkaline, disabling the acid-activated autoxidation mechanism for developing biodegradability of the blend. Although aqueous Cl− was an effective inhibitor of autoxidation of polyolefins in seawater, autoxidation could be initiated using the dissociation of ClOH (called blister degradation) to lower the seawater pH. The blister degradation mechanism enabled autoxidation, even in seawater, by taking advantage of the ability of diatoms to secrete transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) to prevent direct contact between the surface layer of polyolefins and alkaline seawater. Bio-blister degradation induced by diatoms was characterized for a linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)/starch sample. SEM, IR, and DSC analyses showed that diatoms induced the disintegration of the LLDPE component of the blend sample in seawater.

Abstract

Photocatalytic water treatment is an advanced and efficient technology for water purification. Among various photocatalysts, iron-based metal-organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) are widely applied for mineralizing organic wastewater due to their excellent water stability and photocatalytic activity. However, their practical application is impeded by insufficient photocatalytic performance, irreversible collapse of the framework structure during repeated use, and difficulty in recovery. In this study, Graphene oxide (GO) structure-oriented NH2-MIL-88B(Fe)/graphene oxide/sodium alginate (NM88B/GO/SA) aerogel was fabricated for the removal of dyes and antibiotics, using GO interface regulation and dual-network crosslinking methods. In this hybrid system, a NM88B/GO heterostructure was formed through the directional growth of NM88B on the surface of GO. The introduction of sodium alginate (SA) enhanced the robustness and stability of the matrix, and effectively avoided aerogel fragmentation. With 30 wt% catalyst loading, the composite aerogel exhibited excellent photocatalytic degradation performance towards high-concentration (50ppm) tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl), achieving over 99% removal rate in 150 minutes. It also effectively degraded methylene blue (MB) at 10-30ppm with over 99% removal rate. Furthermore, the aerogel showed excellent shape recovery ability, stability, and reusability. After five repeated tests, it maintained over 95% degradation efficiency for both TC-HCl and MB. This advanced aerogel holds great promise as a highly efficient and reusable photocatalyst for removing antibiotics and dyes from wastewater.

AbstractClimatic variability and extremes have been a global concern in recent decades, and the regions in the Himalayas are highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. The objective of this study is to analyze the historical trend in precipitation, temperature, and evapotranspiration and 14 relevant extreme indices during 1980-2017 in the Narayani River Basin in Central Nepal, with their implication in some major climate-sensitive sectors defined by the National Adaptation Plan, Government of Nepal. The trends were analyzed using the Modified Mann-Kendall test. Trend analysis of climatic variables showed significant decreasing annual precipitation, increasing annual maximum and minimum temperature, and decreasing evapotranspiration for most stations. Extremes analysis showed a significant increasing trend in both precipitation and temperature extremes during the study period of 1980-2017. The spatial study showed increasing consecutive dry days in almost all stations, with consecutive wet days and total precipitation increasing in western hills. Temperature-related extremes like TX90p (warm days), TN90p (warm nights), and WSDI (Warm Spell Duration Index) showed increasing trends, most of which were statistically significant. Some of the extremes were found to have both positive and negative implications in short- and long-term agriculture and food security. However, the compounding effects of these extreme indices have detrimental effects on water resources, energy, biodiversity,and climate-induced disasters, which necessitate a further assessment of their study to minimize their impacts.
Socioeconomic factors and their influence on suicide rate: a multiple regression case study in Washington
Authors: Wu Zixuan , Zhang Yueqian 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Washington State's suicide rate is 11% higher than the national average, making it one of the top 10 states with the highest suicide rates in the U.S.. Although efforts have been made to address behavioral factors that contribute to suicide risk, little attention has been given to the impact of socioeconomic factors on the mental health of Washington residents. The purpose of the research is to investigate the relationship between socioeconomic status and suicide rates in Washington State. The results of the study can help guide policymakers and healthcare professionals in developing intervention strategies to reduce suicide risk. The suicide rate among Washington residents from 2011-2020 was provided by the 57 vital statistics jurisdictions participating in the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program. Three indicators, including poverty rate, lower than high school graduate rate, and unemployment rate, were chosen to explore the relationship between socioeconomic factors and suicide rate. The data from 57 jurisdictions were analyzed using R, with F tests and multiple linear regressions employed. The multiple R-squared value was 0.7648, indicating that 76.48% of the variation can be explained by the independent variables. These results suggest that poverty and employment rates have a significant positive relationship with suicide rate. However, the relationship between lower educational attainment and suicide rate was not statistically significant. Addressing the issue of rising suicide rates requires a collaborative effort between healthcare officials and policymakers. Policymakers should prioritize promoting job opportunities and providing educational resources to alleviate financial stress and increase access to mental healthcare.
Who follows the doctors’ advice and why? Social cognitive predictors of effectiveness of a brief intervention promoting influenza vaccination among elderly people
Authors: Raude Jocelyn 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Improving the public adherence to medical recommendations is critical to address the suboptimal influenza vaccination coverage among high-risk groups. This study sought to identify the social cognitive predictors of influenza vaccination uptake among elderly people, and the moderators of a brief multifaceted intervention at hospital, including a vaccination promotion interview, letters, and automatic reminders (SMS), through a parallel group randomized trial conducted in 18 Hospital Emergency departments in France and Monaco (N=1,475). The potential predictors of influenza vaccination were measured through a self-administrated questionnaire based on the leading social cognitive models of health behaviors. Follow-up phone interviews were conducted 6 month later to evaluate the effect of these variables on influenza vaccination among the participants. Controlling for clustering effects, we found that the influenza vaccine uptake varied principally as a function of the patients’ past behaviors and, to a lesser extent, to the perceived barriers to vaccination. In addition, providing recommendations through doctors interviews and letters, then sending SMS-based reminders significantly increased the overall influenza vaccine coverage among participants (AOR = 2.56, [95% CI = 1.05-6.24]). However, this brief intervention had only a significant effect on those who had a repeated history of influenza vaccination (AOR = 3.86 [95% CI = 1.59-9.41]). Our results suggest that the overall positive effects of such brief interventions on vaccination behaviors are mostly due to their capacity to prevent the risk of relapse in the least hesitant patients.
New Inherent Characteristics of Mechanical Shocks
Authors: Montazeri Saeed 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Our observations in nature indicate that mechanical shocks have the capability to rapidly transfer a considerable amount of energy to a system. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how the rate of energy transferred to a system of particlescan affecttheseverityof acceleration ofparticles. It is proved that such a relationship can be established only through a mathematical inequality. Obviously, the presented results contribute to our understanding of mechanical shocks. In the initial stage, two novel quantities that indicate new characteristics of mechanical shocks are derived from the established theorem. Finally, two numerical examples are provided.
Competence to confidence a ritual of strengths
Authors: Rooker Eric 
Published: August 2023

Veterinarians will face continuous challenges throughout their careers. Despite thousands of hours of professional training and experience, challenges will arise. In veterinary medicine these challenges range from diagnostic mysteries to complex business decisions. Inevitability, these events will result in fail­ure to some degree. How the professional processes these chal­lenges, confidence wise, will determine the level of competence they are able to apply to future problems and their career.
Professional athletes represent a similar model of trained and challenged professionals who can help veterinary profession­als understand how to ease recovery and accelerate growth through a challenge. Athletes’ use of regular rituals in training, preparation and recovery are an example of what veterinary professionals should seek to mimic. These rituals avoid ac­cumulations of physiologic and psychologic stress; protecting the athlete’s confidence in their own competence. This results in less stress on the individual, more motivation, and a higher degree of flourishing at their craft. Using the science of saluto­genesis, we propose a “Ritual of Strengths” or an interventional model based upon providing the practitioner the skills neces­sary to respond in a near perfect way to these challenges; build­ing confidence in their own competence. This model will allow high performing veterinary professionals to feel prepared for any challenge they come across.

Utilizing herd production records to make decisions can be very helpful when dealing with herd health issues. Records are also valuable when examining herd goals as they are an objective source of information that can uncover areas of opportunity.
Another valuable tool is the ability to benchmark a herd’s re­cords against their herd goals and/or to benchmark production data vs. other similar herds.
Preserving stationary discontinuities in two-layer shallow water equations with a novel well-balanced approach
Authors: Akbari Majid , Pirzadeh Bahareh 
Published: August 2023

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel energy-balanced numerical scheme for the two-layer shallow water equations (2LSWEs) that accurately captures internal hydraulic jumps without introducing spurious oscillations. The proposed scheme overcomes the problem of post-shock oscillations in the 2LSWE, a phenomenon commonly observed in numerical solutions of non-linear hyperbolic systems when shock-capturing schemes are used. The approach involves reconstructing the internal momentum equation of 2LSWEs using the correct Hugoniot curve via a set of shock wave fixes originally developed for single-layer shallow water equations. The scheme successfully preserves all stationary solutions, making it highly suitable for simulations of real-life scenarios involving small perturbations of these conditions.
Adsorption of aniline from aqueous solutions onto a nanoporous material adsorbent: isotherms, kinetics, and mass transfer mechanisms
Authors: Ali Nisreen S. , Majdi Hasan Sh. , Albayati Talib M. , Jasim Dheyaa J. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
MCM-48, which is particulate and nanoporous, was formulated to actively remove aniline (AN) (i.e., benzenamine) from wastewater. MCM-48 was characterized by several methods. It was found that the MCM-48 was highly active in adsorbing aniline from wastewater. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherms were employed to evaluate the adsorption equilibrium. At 100 and 94 mg g−1, the maximum theoretical and experimental absorption of aniline, respectively, fit with a Type I Langmuir isotherm. The Langmuir model was optimal in comparison to the Freundlich model for the adsorption of AN onto the mesoporous material MCM-48. The results of these kinetics adsorption models were investigated using model kinetics that employed both pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order models as well as models utilized intraparticle diffusion. The kinetics adsorption models demonstrated that the absorption was rapid and most closely agreed with the pseudo-first-order model. The kinetic studies and the adsorption isotherms revealed the presence of both physical adsorption and chemisorption. The potential adsorption mechanisms include the following: (1) hydrogen bonding, (2) π-π interactions, (3) electrostatic interaction, and (4) hydrophobic interactions. The solution's pH, ionic strength, and ambient temperature also played essential roles in the adsorption.

Published: August 2023

Abstract

Ecological compensation (EC) is essential to promote the coordinated and sustainable development of the watershed. Firstly, the synergetic development index system of the watershed EC was proposed, which includes the economic benefits, water conservation, pollution treatment, and environmental supervision. Then, the order degree of subsystems was calculated. Finally, the synergetic development level of the watershed EC was evaluated. Taking the upstream (Ma'anshan) and the downstream (Nanjing) of the Chu River as the case study area, the results showed that: (1) From 2011 to 2020, the synergetic development level between Ma'anshan and Nanjing has showed an upward trend; (2) The synergetic development level of the watershed EC in the Chu River has reached basic synergy in 2020; (3) Ma'anshan concentrates on protecting the water ecological environment while Nanjing concentrates on economic growth and water pollution control will improve the synergy degree. This study can provide references for the optimization of watershed EC mechanism, and to promote watershed coordinated development.

Published: August 2023

Abstract

Removing phosphate from wastewater can help alleviate eutrophication. Therefore, in this study, lanthanum and magnesium were loaded onto the thermally modified palygorskite (PAL) using a coprecipitation method, and a composite material was prepared for phosphate recovery. In the pH range of 2–7, the material can effectively adsorb the phosphate. In the kinetic experiment, the material was able to rapidly adsorb phosphate within 4 h of the beginning of the reaction. The adsorption isotherm result of the material was in accordance with Freundlich isotherm model. When pH was 7, the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity was 20.4 mg P/g. When phosphate coexisted with CO32− and HCO3−, the adsorption was significantly inhibited. In the adsorption–desorption experiment, the material can be reused at least five times after elution with 1 mol/L of sodium hydroxide solution. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of the material for total phosphorus in piggery wastewater was 7.25 mg P/g, achieving a total phosphorus removal rate of 95.3%. The characterization of XRD, FT-IR and XPS suggested that phosphate was mainly exchanged with La–OH in the material, forming an amorphous LaPO4 complex.
Retrospektywna i prospektywna rola ekofilozofii
Authors: Tyburski Włodzimierz 
Published: August 2023

W katalogu zagadnień podejmowanych w ramach ekofilozofii (określanej także mianem filozofii ekologicznej) szczególnie doniosłe znaczenie przypisać należy dwóm wypełnianym przez nią zadaniom. Pierwsze zadanie (retrospektywne) zmierza do ukazania tego zespołu uwarunkowań kulturowych, światopoglądowych, filozoficznych, które szczególnie w dobie nowożytnej generowały myślenie utylitarne, pozytywistyczno-technokratyczne. Jego praktyczne konsekwencje okazały się bardzo niebezpieczne dla życia na Ziemi. Drugie zadanie (prospektywne) wnosi swój znaczący wkład w dzieło budowania nowego myślenia o relacjach człowieka ze światem przyrody, uświadamia potrzebę lepszego zrozumienia wspólnoty losów obu tych światów, dotyczy działań, mających na celu projektowanie wizji przyszłości i konstruowanie modelu cywilizacji, zorientowanej na potrzeby ekologiczne. Wyniki dociekań ekofilozofii stanowią niekwestionowany wkład w dzieło budowania podstaw najpierw idei ekorozwoju, a obecnie zrównoważonego rozwoju. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiona została charakterystyka obu wspomnianych zadań. Ponadto przedstawiono argumentację uzasadniającą tezy formułowane przez ekofilozofię oraz wypracowane przez nią założenia, znajdujące się u podstaw skonkretyzowanych działań praktycznych na rzecz rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego, uwzględniającego i respektującego potrzeby i interesy świata przyrodniczego.
