Flexible graphene oxide/polyacrylonitrile composite films with efficient ultraviolet shielding and high transparency for the protection of paper-based artifacts
Authors: Teng Cheng , Liu Ximei , Lin Mingjun , Li Jianlin 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Paper-based artifacts, such as ink and wash paintings, paper cuts, etc., when exposed in environment for a long time, are prone to embrittling, yellowing and ageing because of ultraviolet light and weather elements. In a museum, special measurements are adopted to avoid these damages, but for common households, a functional coating is a good solution. However, this is not an easy task as the coating must be removable and cannot damage the articles. Graphene oxide (GO) has the potential as ultraviolet shielding material for the protection of paper-based artifacts, but the application of monolithic GO coatings on paper-based artifacts is difficult. In this work, feasible GO/polyacrylonitrile composite films were prepared and their protection properties for rice paper were explored experimentally. When GO loading reached 2 %, the UV-A and UV-B blocking percentages of the film were 57.47 % and 70.86 %, respectively, with a visible light transmittance of 77.09 %. These films also performed good moisture resistance. With a good flexibility, they could be easily transferred onto and peeled off the rice paper surface without damaging the paper texture and patterns on it. These films basically meet the demand of paper-based artifacts protection.
Design of pulse laser high-precision ranging algorithm under low signal-to-noise ratio
Authors: Chen Fang , Luo Lingling 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Because the traditional pulse laser high-precision ranging method has the problems of low ranging accuracy and long ranging time, a pulse laser high-precision ranging algorithm under low signal-to-noise ratio is proposed. Based on the analysis of the basic principle of pulse laser ranging, the pulse laser signal under low signal-to-noise ratio is obtained by modeling the pulse laser echo analog signal waveform. The wavelet denoising method of improved threshold function is used to denoise the pulse laser signal under low signal-to-noise ratio. According to the processing results, the pulse laser high-precision ranging is carried out through sinusoidal amplitude time conversion. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has high precision and short ranging time.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to fabricate three-dimensional bone scaffolds using polycaprolactone and egg shell powder. The scaffolds were coated with sodium alginate/egg white. SEM was used to investigate egg shell particles on the surface of each string of scaffolds. The presence of calcium carbonate in the scaffold structure was confirmed by microstructural analyses employing XRD. Egg shell-related functional groups were discovered using FTIR investigations. Bone cells were used to conduct biocompatibility tests on scaffolds (MG-63). Finally, scaffolds with the highest proportion of egg whites and eggshells have the best cell survival rate. It may be concluded that the PCL/7% Esh/15% Ew scaffold is a good option for application in bone tissue engineering.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Shear thickening fluid (STF) are non-Newtonian fluids that usually behave as liquid in normal condition however under sudden impact, they transformed into a solid like structure with abrupt rise in viscosity. The rheological properties of these fluids play a significant role in energy dissipation. In the present work, effect of boric acid (BA) as an additive for the fine tuning of shear thickening (ST) behavior of colloidal silica-based shear thickening fluids (STFs) was investigated. STFs were synthesized with silica particles (600 nm) in liquid polyethylene glycol (PEG-200). Both the steady state and dynamic rheological studies of STFs were carried out to compare ST behavior of BA based STFs with only silica-based STFs. In steady state rheology, it was observed that max. viscosity increases four time compared to only silica based STF. In dynamic rheology, it was observed that the maximum G′ and G″ of the STF composition (69% + 1.2% BA) at a frequency of 70 rad/s has increased by ∼41 times and ∼14 times, respectively, when the deforming strain reaches at 100% strain. Both the steady state and dynamic rheological analyses have confirmed that boric acid based STFs exhibited higher shear/strain thickening behavior, as well as higher energy absorption property.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions (HMIs) are known to cause severe damages to the human body and ecological environment. And considering the current alarming situation, it is crucial to develop a rapid, sensitive, robust, economical and convenient method for their detection. Screen printed electrochemical technology contributes greatly to this task, and has achieved global attention. It enabled the mass transmission rate and demonstrated ability to control the chemical nature of the measure media. Besides, the technique offers advantages like linear output, quick response, high selectivity, sensitivity and stability along with low power requirement and high signal-to-noise ratio. Recently, the performance of SPEs has been improved employing the most effective and promising method of the incorporation of different nanomaterials into SPEs. Especially, in electrochemical sensors, the incorporation of nanomaterials has gained extensive attention for HMIs detection as it exhibits outstanding features like broad electrochemical window, large surface area, high conductivity, selectivity and stability. The present review focuses on the recent progress in the field of screen-printed electrochemical sensors for HMIs detection using nanomaterials. Different fabrication methods of SPEs and their utilization for real sample analysis of HMIs using various nanomaterials have been extensively discussed. Additionally, advancement made in this field is also discussed taking help of the recent literature.
Pickering emulsions as an alternative to traditional polymers: trends and applications

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Pickering emulsions have gained increasing interest because of their unique features, including easy preparation and stability. In contrast to classical emulsions, in Pickering emulsions, the stabilisers are solid micro/nanoparticles that accumulate on the surfaces of liquid phases. In addition to their stability, Pickering emulsions are less toxic and responsive to external stimuli, which make them versatile material that can be flexibly designed for specific applications, e.g., catalysis, pharmaceuticals and new materials. The potential toxicity and adverse impact on the environment of classic emulsions is related to the extractable nature of the water emulsifier. The impacts of some emulsifiers are related to not only their chemical natures but also their stabilities; after base or acid hydrolysis, some emulsifiers can be turned into sulphates and fatty alcohols, which are dangerous to aquatic life. In this paper, recent research on Pickering emulsion preparations is reviewed, with a focus on styrene as one of the main emulsion components. Moreover, the effects of the particle type and morphology and the critical parameters of the emulsion production process on emulsion properties and applications are discussed. Furthermore, the current and prospective applications of Pickering emulsion, such as in lithium-ion batteries and new vaccines, are presented.

Abstract
In order to evaluate the effect of rare earth Y2O3 on the wear and corrosion properties of WC–Ni composite coatings, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), electrochemical polarization curve, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and friction and wear tests were used to analyze the metallographic structure, corrosion characteristics in simulated seawater and friction and wear principle of the composite coatings. Results of SEM revealed that the microstructure of the Y2O3 added coatings was refined with the grains changing smaller and the impurity disappearing. The EIS results proved that the addition of Y2O3 brought a positive influence on the corrosion resistance by reducing the capacitance and increasing the R
f and R
c. The hardness of the coatings with Y2O3 addition tends to be smooth without wild fluctuation, and the coating with 0.5 wt% Y2O3 owned the hardness values reaching 850 HV. With the addition of rare earth elements, the coefficient of fiction values decreased, reaching the lowest (0.3418) at the content of Y2O3 of 0.5 wt%. The surface of the coating without Y2O3 appears grooved due to the abrasive wear; the coatings with Y2O3 did not suffer serious wear and tear. The coating with 0.5 wt% Y2O3 exhibited the best corrosion resistance and wear resistance properties in all the specimens.
Negotiations on meaning between semiotics and language philosophy: from Yiheng Zhao’s semiotic perspectives
Authors: Yang Zhihui 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Western language philosophy studies meaning from diverse aspects, with a core concern for how meaning is formulated and interpreted. The artificial-language and natural-language schools are two camps in this philosophical undertaking, the former insisting on scientific logic and positivism in meaning verification while the latter emphasizing subjective intention and context in meaning interpretation. Semiotics provides another semantic perspective that tips toward the theory of the natural-language school. This article compares the semantic thought of analytical language philosophers with that of a Chinese semiotician – Yiheng Zhao, who defines meaning as the interpretative potential between any two signs, and, being the product of signifying activities, meaning should be stipulated as dynamic process instead of a static essence. Thus, the interpretation of meaning is totally free of the shackles of logical positivism and radical interpretation required by the artificial-language school. On the other hand, differing from the natural-language school, meaning in Zhao’s semiotic theory can be either expressive or communicative, which means meaning that has originated from an expresser does not necessarily need an interpreter like the utterer-audience binary in Grice’s theory. Compared with Anglo-American analytical language philosophers, Zhao shows more affinities in semantic thought with the continental philosophers – Husserl, Heidegger, Gadamer, Habermas, and Ricoeur.

Zusammenfassung
Schuld und ihre Bewältigung in Form von Verzeihen spielen in therapeutischen Kontexten eine zentrale Rolle. Säkulare wie religiöse Wege können zu einer gelingenden Auseinandersetzung beitragen. Im Rückgriff auf weltweites Kulturgut und verschiedene Behandlungsmethoden möchte dieser Aufsatz aufzeigen, wie eine fruchtbare Auseinandersetzung mit dem Schuldbegriff zugunsten einer Praxis des Verzeihens gelingen kann. Neben der säkularen Bewältigung gibt es eine Fülle religiöser, künstlerischer und supportiver Bewältigungsversuche, welche alle zu Vergebung und Versöhnung hinführen. Die abendländischen christlichen Traditionsstränge werden daher in diesem Aufsatz in einen Dialog mit modernen, internationalen Wissenschaftsströmungen, vertreten durch die Medical Humanities und Healing Arts, geführt. Welche Aspekte können aus diesen Traditionen in einer zunehmend säkularen Umwelt für die psychiatrisch-psychotherapeutische Praxis gewonnen werden?
An den Beginn meiner Ausführungen stelle ich biblisch-künstlerische Impressionen zu Schuld und Vergebung (1). Danach folgt eine theologisch-dogmatische Begriffsdefinition zum Schuld- wie Sündenbegriff (2), zur Vergebung im Rahmen der christlichen Religion bzw. zur Praxis des Verzeihens im Abendland (3), bevor im nächsten Abschnitt (4) das Augenmerk auf künstlerische Verarbeitungen in Kirche und Bibel als Ausdruck des Verzeihens gerichtet wird. Nach einem Exkurs zu den Medical Humanities und Healing Arts (5) folgen therapeutische Impulse zur Kunst des Verzeihens (6) sowie ein abschließendes Fallbeispiel zur trialogischen Arbeit (7).
Lower Inequality and Lower Development: A Contradiction Sensitivity Analysis of Jammu and Kashmir

Published: November 2022

Abstract
The standard method of poverty estimation uses unadjusted per capita income or expenditure to calculate population below the poverty line. However, recent empirical advancements have validated this method to be essentially flawed in nature. It does not take into consideration nor allows for household composition and economies of scale. Empirical investigations have confirmed the facts that the measures of poverty and inequality are sensitive to various choices of equivalence scales. Therefore, standard measures provide mostly overestimated poverty and inequality estimates. Further, poverty measurement across groups or overtime is sensitive to different poverty lines and measures. Any alteration in these can reverse the ranking. The current research attempts to test adult equivalence and scale economies in Jammu and Kashmir region to validate whether poverty estimates are sensitive to these scales or not. It also employs stochastic dominance technique to check whether poverty reduction is robust through time over a wide range of poverty lines and measures. The paper does so by employing three waves of monthly consumption expenditure rounds conducted by National Sample Survey Organization. For sensitivity analysis, the paper estimates FGT, Gini and Atkinson indices. Despite being industrially backward and politically fragile, J&K has shown better economic indicators than most other Indian states. The findings of the current study validate lower poverty in the region and at the same time discover a growth in inequality over time. While a mixed result is derived for adult equivalence, the economies of scale highlight the fact that standard measures are overstated and welfare rank reversal ensues when household size and gender of household is tested for. Further, stochastic dominance results show that poverty reduction is only robust during 61st and 66th round, and not during 66th and 68th rounds.

AbstractTransposable elements (TEs) are active in neuronal cells raising the question whether TE insertions contribute to risk of neuropsychiatric disease. While genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) serve as a tool to discover genetic loci associated with neuropsychiatric diseases, unfortunately GWAS do not directly detect structural variants such as TEs. To examine the role of TEs in psychiatric and neurologic disease, we evaluated 17,000 polymorphic TEs and find 76 are in linkage disequilibrium with disease haplotypes (P < 10−6) defined by GWAS. From these 76 polymorphic TEs, we identify potentially causal candidates based on having insertions in genomic regions of regulatory chromatin and on having associations with altered gene expression in brain tissues. We show that lead candidate insertions have regulatory effects on gene expression in human neural stem cells altering the activity of a minimal promoter. Taken together, we identify 10 polymorphic TE insertions that are potential candidates on par with other variants for having a causal role in neurologic and psychiatric disorders.

AbstractWe investigated respiratory pathogens among ill Hajj pilgrims from Marseille. We also discuss the potential role of point-of-care (POC) rapid molecular diagnostic tools for this purpose. Clinical data were collected using a standardised questionnaire. Influenza A and B viruses, human rhinovirus and human coronaviruses, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Klebsiella pneumoniae were investigated using real-time PCR in respiratory samples obtained during travel, at the onset of symptoms. 207 participants were included. A cough, expectoration, rhinitis and a sore throat were the most frequent respiratory symptoms, followed by loss of voice and dyspnoea. 38.7% and 25.1% of pilgrims reported a fever and influenza-like symptoms, respectively. 59.4% pilgrims received antibiotics. Rhinovirus (40.6%) was the most frequent pathogen, followed by S. aureus (35.8%) and H. influenzae (30.4%). Virus and bacteria co-infections were identified in 28.5% of participants. 25.1% pilgrims who were positive for respiratory bacteria did not receive antibiotic treatment. In the context of the Hajj pilgrimage, it is important to detect infections that can be easily managed with appropriate treatment, and those that can affect prognosis, requiring hospitalisation. POC rapid molecular diagnostic tools could be used for patient management at small Hajj medical missions and to rationalise antibiotic consumption among Hajj pilgrims.

THE WAR AND THE WORLD-SYSTEM FATE. MODERN INTERPRETATION OF IMMANUEL WALLERSTEIN.
Authors: Popkov V. V. , Azaiev J. А. 
Published: November 2022

The Russian-Ukrainian war marked the Rubicon, on crossing which, the world has begun to change dramatically and irreversibly. This article is an attempt to comprehend the Russian-Ukrainian war in the context of the world-system methodology of I. Wallerstein. The authors consider the phenomenon of war and the phenomenon of revolution as key factors of historical change. The authors reconstruct the change in the geopolitical balance of power over long cycles of history, where the world war and the system of treaties after it are considered as starting points for new cyclic turns. The authors consider global changes in the world system order, starting from the period of the "Napoleonic Wars" and subsequent global wars of the XIXth – XXIst centuries. The article traces the role of World wars in the fate of the existing world-system. The Russian-Ukrainian war is seen as the initiation of the breakdown of the existing world order and the establishment of a world-system of a different type. This war has quite a clear geopolitical context, as any other great war in humankind's history. This context is a global geopolitical game that has engulfed almost the entire world community. Looking at Wallerstein's theory we can understand this game as the irreconcilable opposition of the dominant Occidental (Anglo-Saxon) world-system against attempts of the Oriental (China-centrical) system to brake the existing world order radically. World politology discusses attempts by the Chinese-Russian geopolitical alliance to receive the status of a new world-system core. As a result, there is a great increase in mutual tension between the two world-system cores.
