Published: August 2022

Background:
Nanoparticles based thin-film has remarkable challenges in water desalination.
Carbon allotropes (carbon nanotubes, graphene sheets, and fullerene), metal and metal oxide nanoparticulates
(titanium dioxide, silver, copper oxide, alumina, zinc oxide, and metal-organic framework, silica,
halloysite, zeolite, aquaporin and cellulose) are the out breaking materials for water desalination. Advanced
materials in membrane forms are impacting the desalination processes in terms of reverse osmosis,
forward osmosis, pervaporation, membrane distillation, and electrodialysis.

Objective:
The main objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the various
methods of water desalination and the role of nanoparticles in this regard.

Methods:
We discussed the overall studies describing the process of desalination, viz. distillation, osmosis,
freeze-thaw desalination, electrodialysis, membranes, various types of nanoparticles used in desalination,
current techniques in desalination, membrane technology with Algae treatment, environmental issues
in desalination, future scopes and trials.

Conclusion:
Various polymeric membranes with graphene/carbon derivatives and nano-particulate integrated
membranes are gaining enormous attention in the field of membrane technology for the desalination
process. Nanoparticulate impregnated, and natural algae conjugated polymeric membranes may provide
a plethora of possibilities for membrane filtration technology in the near future.

Published: August 2022

Introduction:
Bone metabolism has an essential role in the bone disease, but its specific mechanism remains unclear. Y-Box Binding Protein 1 (YBX1) is a gene with broad nucleic acid binding properties, which encodes a highly conserved cold shock domain protein. Previous studies have shown that YBX1 is closely related to cell differentiation. However, the function of YBX1 in osteoblast differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) was unclear.

Method:
To explore the effect and specific mechanism of YBX1 in osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, we used PCR, Western blot, Alizarin red Staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assays, and siRNA knockdown in our research. We found that YBX1 gradually increased during the process of osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. YBX1 siRNA could negatively regulate the MSCs osteogenic differentiation. Mechanistic studies revealed that YBX1 knockdown could inhibit PI3K/AKT pathway. Furthermore, the specific agonist (SC79) of PI3K/AKT pathway could restore the impaired MSCs osteogenic differentiation which was mediated by YBX1 knockdown. Taken together, we concluded that YBX1 could positively regulate the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Results and Discussion:
These results helped us further understand the mechanism of osteogenesis and revealed that YBX1 might be a selectable target in the bone repair field.

Conclusion:
Our study provides a new target and theoretical basis for the treatment of bone diseases.

Background
Most vascular events after stroke may be prevented by modifying vascular risk factors through medical and behavioral interventions. Stroke literacy—an understanding of stroke symptoms, risk factors, and treatment—likely contributes to vascular risk factor control and in turn stroke recurrence risk. Stroke literacy is the lowest among adults belonging to racial and ethnic minority populations in the United States. Video-based interventions targeting stroke literacy may help acute stroke survivors understand stroke and subsequently reduce the risk of stroke recurrence. However, the failure of prior stroke literacy interventions may be due in part to the fact that the interventions were not theory-driven. Intervention mapping (IM) provides a framework for use in the development, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-informed, health-related interventions.

Objective
We aimed to develop a video-based educational intervention to improve stroke literacy in hospitalized patients with acute stroke.

Methods
The 6-step iterative process of IM was used to develop a video-based educational intervention and related implementation and evaluation plans. The six steps included a needs assessment, the identification of outcomes and change objectives, the selection of theory- and video-based intervention methods and practical applications, the development of a video-based stroke educational intervention, plans for implementation, and evaluation strategies.

Results
A 5-minute video-based educational intervention was developed. The IM approach led to successful intervention development by emphasizing stakeholder involvement, generation and adoption, and information retainment in the planning phase of the intervention. A planned approach to video adoption, implementation, and evaluation was also developed.

Conclusions
An IM approach guided the development of a 5-minute video-based educational intervention to promote stroke literacy among acute stroke survivors. Future studies are needed to assess the use of technology and digital media to support widespread access and participation in video-based health literacy interventions for populations with acute and chronic stroke. Studies are needed to assess the impact of video-based educational interventions that are paired with stroke systems of care optimization to reduce the risk of stroke recurrence. Furthermore, studies on culturally and linguistically sensitive video-based stroke literacy interventions are needed to address known racial and ethnic disparities in stroke literacy.

Makna Kata Ulama Dalam Qs. Fatir Ayat 28 (Implementasi Semiotika Roland Barthes)
Authors: Prayoga Unggul , Liddini Laily 
Published: August 2022

Artikel ini sebagai respon terhadap banyaknya masyarakat Muslim Indonesia yang terlalu fanatik terhadap ulama dan penolakan perbedaan pendapat hingga menyebabkan perpecahan. Artikel ini juga merupakan sebuah tawaran untuk memahami makna ulama dalam QS. Fathir ayat 28. Yakni, sebagai cara untuk memahami makna ulama yang dipahami oleh sebagian pihak masyarakat sebagai acuan dalam segala permasalahan yang ada.
Pada artikel ini, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, yaitu sebuah metode yang digunakan untuk menggali suatu makna yang terkandung didalamnya. Dalam penelitian, penulis menggunakan teori semiotika Roland Barthes (w. 1980) untuk menganalisis dan mengupas makna ulama dalam QS. Fathir ayat 28.
Tujuan tulisan ini mengungkapkan tentang makna kata Ulama sebagaimana yang tertuang dalam QS. Fathir ayat 28 yang dapat dipahami bahwa ulama tidak hanya dalam permasalahan agama akan tetapi dalam bidang ilmu lain juga bisa dinamakan ulama. Dengan menggunakan teori semiotika Roland Barthes yang dalam tahapannya terdiri dari dua (tahapan linguistik yang berarti makna denotatif dan juga tahapan mitologi atau mitos yang berarti makna konotatif), diperoleh hasinya bahwa kata ulama memberikan makna orang-orang yang memiliki pengetahuan. Kemudian sistem mitologi atau mitos memunculkan makna konotasinya yaitu ulama adalah sebuah gelar bagi para ilmuwan yang ahli dalam pengetahuan umum juga ilmu tentang agama yang bersumber dari Al-Qur’an dan hadis Nabi. Pesan yang terkandung dalam QS. Fathir ayat 28 adalah bahwa diantara para hamba-Nya yang paling takut adalah para ilmuwan yang memahami ajaran Islam dengan mendalam dan juga memikirkan pula tentang fenomena-fenomena alam yang Allah ciptakan agar semakin mendekat kepada-Nya.

How ‘cocooning’ as a public health measure was reported during the Covid-19 crisis
Authors: Gallagher Catherine 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This paper explores the nature of newspaper coverage of ‘cocooning’ as a public health measure at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in Ireland in 2020. The study, which focuses on coverage in The Irish Times, shows that the number of human-interest-framed articles on cocooning was approximately four times greater than the number of informative ones. This suggests that the proportion of human-interest and emotive stories diluted the volume of informative articles. The findings also point to an absence of significant official voices in the coverage of cocooning, such as key ministerial figures, which may have contributed to knowledge gaps. There was also a discernible gender bias, not just in experts quoted but also in the journalists who wrote news and feature articles. The study offers important lessons for government communication strategies in how important public information is provided to target groups.
A new nation brand strategy? Global Ireland 2025 and the UN Security Council campaign
Authors: Boughton Madeline 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This article seeks to add to the growing body of research into government-led nation branding initiatives by examining a specific case study as the driver of a new nation brand strategy for Ireland. Drawing on interviews with senior government officials, policy advisors and brand marketing executives, the author examines the ‘Global Ireland 2025’ initiative and Ireland’s campaign to win a UN Security Council seat. The findings indicate that some important building blocks of a new nation brand initiative have been put in place, most notably around government policy, leadership and resources. But in the absence of meaningful citizen and stakeholder engagement, the author questions the authenticity of the new nation brand strategy. This article argues that without meaningful collaboration, Global Ireland 2025 risks losing the opportunity to be more than just another promotional exercise.
Basalt fibre continuous reinforcement composite pavement reinforcement design based on finite element model
Authors: Luo Yuhu , Hasan Hafnida 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The thrust of basalt fibre (BFRP) tendons will result in narrower transverse crack spacing, decreased load transfer capacity of transverse cracks and voids at the bottom of the slab, which will lead to thrust failure. The thesis uses the finite element analysis method to analyse the material characteristics of BFRP tendons. At the same time, the article determines the critical load position corresponding to the tensile stress of concrete and BFRP tendons, and analyses the influence of voids, crack spacing and other factors on the load stress of concrete and BFRP tendons. The study results found that continuously reinforced concrete and asphalt overlay composite design can reduce cracks.
Recontextualizing Son of Saul: Masculinity in Totalitarian Spaces in Hungarian Film History
Authors: Kalmár György 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
As a result of its radical approach to the topic of the Holocaust, as well as due to the long list of prestigious prizes it won, Son of Saul (Saul fia, 2015, directed by László Nemes Jeles) has put the relation between Eastern European societies and totalitarianism in the centre of public and academic discourse. Though most reviews and articles placed the film in the history of Holocaust-representations, this is not the only context in which the film can be understood. In the present article I argue that Son of Saul can also be read outside (or at least at a distance from) the context of a Holocaust-film, as it also belongs to another, quite different and internationally much less known local cinematic canon. There is an unclaimed heritage behind Nemes Jeles’s controversial masterpiece, a trend in Hungarian cinema that explores the crisis of masculinity in totalitarian political regimes, thereby performing an allegorical critique of modernity and modern subjectivity. My recontextualization of Nemes Jeles’s work indicates the ways it is influenced by a local, Eastern European filmmaking tradition (which includes the work of his own father, the filmmaker András Jeles as well), and is supported by three interrelated conceptual focus points: a post-Foucauldian understanding of cultural and cinematic space, an awareness of the workings of modern cinematic allegory, and finally the use of male protagonists as prime sites for the inscription of social crisis and historical trauma.
National Competitiveness and Foreign Direct Investment in Emerging Europe
Authors: Ranđelović Saša , Martinović Nikola 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The paper evaluates the relationship between the indicators of competitiveness of national economies (real unit labour costs and Global Competitiveness Index) and the flow of FDI in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) over the last two decades. Our results show that from 2000 to 2020, CEE economies had an average annual inflow of FDI of 3.9% of GDP, with significant variation across the region. We have found out that the relationship between the net inflow of FDI and the real unit labour costs was strongly negative, while the results on the link with the Global Competitiveness Index was less conclusive. In 2020, due to pandemic global flow of FDI, shrank by around 40%, while the net inflow of FDI to CEE countries declined on average by 15%. These trends and results of survey-based analyses from other studies suggest that CEE region, and especially the Western Balkans countries, may benefit from the nearshoring process in the future. To exploit that opportunity, they may need to put focus of their policies on efficiency-enhancing tax reforms (that would reduce the unit labour costs) and other structural reforms that would result in improvement of the stock and quality of their physical and human capital.
Response of date palm offshoots (Phoenix dactylifera L.) to the foliar spray of salicylic acid and citric acid under salinity conditions
Authors: Shareef Hussein J. , Abbas Muayed F. , Jasim Abbas M. 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Antioxidants enhance the salt tolerance of date palms. A field experiment was carried out on date palm offshoots to improve the salt tolerance of the Sayer cultivar. Salicylic acid and citric acid (500 and 1,000 ppm) were used. The results showed that all growth parameters of plant height, leaf area, and leaf numbers decreased under the salinity conditions. The antioxidant applications increased the plant height, leaf area, carbohydrates, and relative water content compared with the control. Citric acid at 1,000 ppm decreased electrolyte leakage and malondialdehyde. Indoleacetic acid decreased, whereas abscisic acid increased under salinity. The antioxidant application increased indoleacetic, whereas abscisic acid decreased. Proline, protein content, and peroxidase activity increased under antioxidants. Also, the potassium and K/Na ratio increased under antioxidant applications. Citric acid improved the characteristics more than salicylic acid, encouraging farmers to use it for its low cost as an antioxidant to reduce environmental stress damage.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the current state and productivity of black alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.) stands and determine the optimal conditions for the emergence and further growth of its natural regeneration in Ukrainian Polissya. The area of black alder stands in Ukrainian Polissya (Ukrainian forest zone) is 162,348 ha, reaching 8.4% of the total forest area. Volyn Region has the largest area of alder stands within Ukrainian Polissya (61,271 ha covering 37.7% of the total area). In the forests of this region, a more detailed study of the current condition, productivity, growth and regeneration of alder stands was performed. The natural regeneration under the alder canopy was characterized as poor. The largest numbers of alder seedlings (1,600–1,800 stems per ha) were recorded under the canopy of 76–78-year-old stands with a relative density of stocking of 0.63–0.70 and 80–100% of alder in their composition. Naturally regenerating alder seedlings had mainly group distribution on the area (occurrence is up to 40%). These specificities should be taken into account to promote natural seed regeneration of alder stands.
