description: In this study, the removal of oestrone (E1), one of the endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) that strongly affects the life activities of organisms in the receiving water environment and is naturally secreted by many organisms and enters water resources, was investigated by the anodic oxidation (AO) process using titanium (Ti) anode and different metal oxide (MMO) anodes (Ti/Pt, Ti/IrO2, Ti/RuO2, Ti/IrO2-Ta2O5 and Ti/IrO2-RuO2-SnO2) and graphite cathode. Batch experiments showed removal efficiencies between 86.1 and 92.3%. The highest removal efficiency was obtained at the Ti/Pt anode using an applied current of 1.5 A (28 mA/cm2 current density), an initial pH of 8.3, an initial E1 concentration of 20 mg/L, an oxidation time of 160 min and an electrolyte concentration of 0.1 M Na2SO4. Different E1 concentrations (5 mg/L, 10 mg/L, 20 mg/L) were investigated. After 160 min, the removals were 97.9%, 95.5% and 92.4%, with degradation rates (k) of 0.0235, 0.0186 and 0.0158 min−1 and high R2 values. The specific energy consumption was also calculated to be in the range of 396–412 kWh/m3 and the lowest SEC value was obtained at an initial E1 concentration of 20 mg/L. The focus of the study was, for the first time, the efficient removal of oestrone (E1) by anodic oxidation.Six different mixed metal oxide anodes were investigated with a graphite cathode.A Ti/Pt anode achieved 92.3% efficiency at pH 8.3, 28 mA/cm2 and 160 min.E1 removal: 97.9%, 95.5% and 92.4% for 5 mg/L, 10 mg/L and 20 mg/L at 160 min.E1 degradation rates: 0.0235, 0.0186 and 0.0158 min−1 for 5, 10 and 20 mg/L.The specific energy consumption was calculated to be between 396 and 412 kWh/m3.

description: Two flocks of Suffolk ewes with lambs and one flock of Cheviot ewes with lambs,and their four pastures were monitored for gastrointestinal nematode infestations from October 197 3 until July, 19 74.Faecal examinations included egg counting and the identification of third stage strongyle type larvae.Herbage was also examined for infective larval contamination. It was shown that the epidemiology of ovine parasitic gastroenteritis is complex and variable even on this single farm.Only the Cheviot ewes illustrated a typical peri-parturient rise and they maintained,on average,egg counts which were fifty percent lower than the Suffolk breed. Haemonchus contortus dominated the egg and larval counts,including the larvae from herbage.Ostertagia spp. and Trichostrongylus spp. larvae were found to be much less numerous.Haemonchus contortus was the main contributor to the peri-parturient rise.Strongyloides papillosus egg counts were high in both the lambs and the ewes during the eight weeks following lambing. The overall pasture contamination rate was found to be surprisingly low.Parasitic findings correlated well with management practices and recent changes in the local climate.

description: Slowly cytopathogenic viruses were isolated from the leucocytes of 17 out of 19 (89 per cent) apparently normal horses, one yearling and one of two foals under two months of age. The viruses replicated in primary rabbit kidney cells, the RK 13 rabbit kidney cell line and the VERO monkey kidney cell line but not in the BHK 21 hamster kidney cell line. Typical Cowdry Type A intranuclear inclusions were produced in culture cells and these were shown to contain DNA by acridine orange fluorescence. Electron microscopy of negatively stained preparations demonstrated characteristic herpesvirus morphology. The complement fixation reaction demonstrated an antigenic relationship between the viruses isolated and equid herpesvirus 2. Conventional serum neutralisation tests failed to demonstrate neutralising antibody in pooled normal horse serum, pooled normal rabbit serum and reference antisera to equid herpesvirus 1 and 2. Double immunodiffusion gave no reaction.

description: The effect of subjecting adult R. appendiculatus ticks (Berlin) infected with T. parva (Muguga) to specific conditions of temperature and humidity for a specific time was investigated. It was hoped to stimulate the maturation of the T. parva and thus eliminate the necessity of prefeeding the ticks in order to obtain sporozoites. The infection rate of the ticks was assessed using the methyl green and pyronin staining technique. Stimulation of maturation of T. parva occurred at all the temperatures investigated, although only the early stages of the maturing parasite were observed present in ticks subjected to the higher temperatures. The results indicated that prefeeding was a superior method of stimulating the development of the T. parva. The ease of the procedure, however, may make it of use in combination with prefeeding experiments and tissue culture techniques, and in laboratories not keeping experimental animals. Evidence was produced which could be relevant in understanding the natural history of the parasite. The conditions under which ticks are stored in laboratories may need re-examining.

description: This project was undertaken to ascertain the effects of two anthelmintics, levamisole and fenbendazole, when given to ewes six weeks before lambing. The investigation involved three flocks of sheep of different breeds, Suffolk, crossbred Suffolk and Cheviot; which lambed in January, April and March respectively. Faecal egg counts of the ewes were recorded regularly between November 1976 and July 1977. Nematode species were identified by the measurement of egg dimensions and the observation of development when incubated for seven days at 4.5°C. Serum pepsinogen values were used as a further measure of the nematode infection. In all three flocks, both drugs suppressed nematode egg excretion for several weeks. Although treatment had a significant effect in individual uses in depressing the rise in the faecal egg count associated with lambing and significantly delayed the rise in the January lambing ewes and in a housed section of the April lambing ewes, it did not significantly depress total egg output in any flock over the period of the rise. The rise in the January flock was post-parturient, whereas a peri-parturient rise occurred in both the later lambing flocks. This may indicate that maturation of inhibited Ostertagia species was of greater importance in the January flock: that their rise was higher lends further support to this theory. The failure of either anthelmintic to effectively suppress the rise was attributed largely to reinfection in the January flock and to the inability of the drug to remove inhibited larvae in the other two flocks. This was supported by findings in ewes housed soon after dosing. Eggs of Ostertagia spp. predominated in all flocks during the rise; this reflects the ability of this genus to survive over winter both on pasture and as inhibited larvae in the sheep. Sixteen lambs born into the January flock and 533 lambs from the March lambing flock were weighed to measure any increase in live-weight gain which may be due to pre-lambing treatment of the ewes. No significant differences were found. It was therefore concluded that there was no production benefit gained by the pre-lambing dosing of the ewes with either fenbendazole or levamisole when they were returned to contaminated pasture.

description: A colorimetric sensor based on silver nanoparticles for mercury (Hg2+) determination in environmental samples, including stream water, treated water, and drilling fluid has been developed. The silver nanoparticles were synthesised via a biological method using aqueous extract of S. terebinthifolius leaves and characterised by visible spectrophotometry, transition electronic microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and Zeta potential analyses. In addition, the antibacterial activity of the obtained silver nanoparticles and the extract of S. terebinthifolius were also evaluated. The green synthetised silver nanoparticles showed a spherical morphology, high stability, and sensitivity to the presence of Hg2+ and Fe2+, being useful for quantification of both analytes. The obtained calibration curves for Hg2+ showed a R2 of 0.9982 and LOD of 0.10 mg L−1 and for Fe2+, with R2 of 0.9938 and LOD of 0.20 mg L−1. However, reflecting the high environmental concern of Hg2+, it was selected for the sensor´s application. This way, a simple masking alternative using H2 O2 and 1,10- phenanthroline was proposed to minimise potential interferences of Fe2+ on Hg2+ determination. The accuracy and the precision of the proposed sensor, evaluated by recovery tests (80–118%) and relative standard deviation (2–23%), were suitable for Hg2+ determination. The silver nanoparticles also showed promising antibacterial activity, especially against the gram- negative bacterium Escherichia coli. Thus, the colorimetric sensor based on silver nanoparticles presents a viable alternative for determination of Hg2+ with a suitable LOD for environmental samples.

description: Donald Macleod (1940-2023) has been called by James Eglinton one of the two most outstanding Scottish Reformed theologians of the twentieth century. As a long-time journalist, preacher, and professor at the Free Church College (now Edinburgh Theological Seminary), Macleod has left a lasting mark on the religious and cultural landscape of Scotland. To date, however, his work has received little attention in the academy. This thesis marks the first significant step towards interpreting Donald Macleod’s theology by considering his doctrine of divine passibility and its key role across his thought. That the first major foray into Macleod’s work should come by way of this view might sound surprising given Macleod’s well-established reputation as an ardent defender of the Scottish Reformed tradition of Westminster federalism. This research demonstrates, however, that rather than being a doctrinal anomaly unrelated to his larger body of work, Macleod’s doctrine of divine passibility is inseparable from some of his core theological commitments. In order to contextualize Macleod’s doctrine of divine passibility (and for the benefit of future Macleod studies) this research opens with a biographical account of Macleod followed by an overview of his critical engagement with his own tradition’s doctrine of God. In the subsequent three chapters, we explore in turn three key loci in Macleod’s theology—the image of God, Christ as the image of God, and Macleod’s doctrine of sin as anomia—in order to show how these aspects of Macleod’s theology either inform or are informed by his view of passibility. In the final two chapters, we show the distinctive expressions of this doctrine in Macleod’s preaching and his journalism. These latter chapters reflect a key premise of this research, which is that proper interpretation of Macleod’s theology requires engagement not only with his strictly theological writings but also with his sermons, his journalism, and his classroom lectures.

description: Immobilisation of protein on a support material preserves its activity and stability. The properties of the support such as surface area and abundance of functional groups, play a major role in the attachment of protein to the substrate. The physical and chemical attachment of bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model protein onto graphene oxide (GO) as a substrate have been investigated in this research. The adsorption efficiency of BSA to synthesized GO in both acidic and neutral media was greater than 70%. However, BSA demonstrated stronger attachment to graphene oxide in acidic environment (pH=4). In addition to experimental studies, the preferred interaction site on BSA with lowest binding energy and the suitable design for the structure of GO have been explored by molecular docking.

description: A highly sensitive electrochemical sensor based on copper-iron layered double hydroxides (Cu-Fe LDH) has been developed for the detection of barium ions (Ba2+), addressing the urgent need for reliable monitoring of this toxic element in environmental and biological samples. The Cu-Fe LDH nanomaterial was synthesised and characterised using various techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), surface area analysis, for confirming its uniform morphology and significant surface area, which are critical for enhanced electrochemical performance. The electrochemical behaviour of the sensor was systematically investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV). Key parameters such as electrode composition, electrolyte type, pH, scan rate, and selectivity were optimised to establish the most favourable conditions for barium detection. The calibration curve exhibited a linear response over a wide concentration range of 0.1 μM to 220 mm, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 63.7 nM and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 193.3 nM, demonstrating the sensor’s high sensitivity. Furthermore, the Cu-Fe LDH-based electrode showed remarkable selectivity towards barium ions in the presence of common interfering ions, including cadmium, magnesium, copper, cobalt, nickel, zinc and calcium. The reproducibility, stability and repeatability of the sensor were confirmed through extensive testing, underscoring its potential for real-world applications and in water treatment field. This study not only highlights the effectiveness of Cu-Fe LDH in improving the sensitivity and selectivity of electrochemical sensors but also provides a promising approach for the detection of hazardous materials in environmental monitoring, thereby contributing to public health safety. Most importantly, the proposed method demonstrated exceptional eco-friendliness by lowering toxicity, waste, energy, and reagent loads.

description: Mycotoxins in cereals such as corn (Zea mays) threaten the consumer’s health even in low concentrations due to their high consumption. This study aimed to detect the concentration of aflatoxins (AFT) and Ochratoxin A (OTA) in imported corn samples and probabilistic human health risk assessment. One hundred and ninety corn samples were randomly collected from March 2022 to April 2024. The concentration of AFT and OTA was detected using high-performance liquid chromatography with a flame ionisation detector (HPLC-FID) and ultraviolet detector (UV). The rank order of mycotoxins in corn based on mean prevalence was OTA (3.16%) > AFB1(1.05%) > AFG1(1.05%) ~ AFT (1.05%) > AFB2 (0.00%) ~ AFG2(0.00%). The rank order of mycotoxins in corn based on mean concentration was AFT (1.798 ug/kg) > OTA (1.231 ug/kg) > AFB1 (1.090 ug/kg)> AFG1 (0.647 ug/kg) > AFB2 (< LOD) ~ AFG2 (< LOD). Percentile 95% of MOEs in adults and children consumers due to AFB1 in corn was 4.89E + 6 and 1.40E + 6, respectively, and the 95% of HQ in adults and children consumers due to OTA in corn was 0.003 and 0.010, respectively. Percentile 95% of cancer risks in adults and children consumers due to AFB1 in corn was 0.0007 and 0.0026, respectively. Consumption of AFT and OTA’s imported corn content does not endanger consumers’ health.

description: Anhand der internationalen Definition der Sozialen Arbeit sowie dem nationalen Berufskodex für die Soziale Arbeit wird ersichtlich, dass die Menschenrechte für die Soziale Arbeit fundamental sind. Das dritte Mandat des Trippel-Mandates der Sozialen Arbeit fordert die Fachpersonen auf, sich mit den Menschenrechten auseinanderzusetzen und für sie einzustehen. Demzufolge ist Menschenrechtsbildung in der Sozialen Arbeit unabdingbar. Sie ist ausgerichtet auf den Aufbau einer universellen Kultur der Menschenrechte und beinhaltet Bildung, Ausbildung und Information. Bei der Verortung der Menschenrechtsbildung im Berufsfeld der Soziokulturellen Animation wird deutlich, dass diese in ihrer expliziten und impliziten Form sowie die Bildung im Sinne von Menschenrechten in allen Fokussierungsgebieten und Tätigkeitsfeldern der Soziokulturellen Animation implementiert werden können. Der Autor beschreibt in dieser Bachelor-Arbeit die Entwicklung und Definition der Menschenrechtsbildung. Er begründet und verortet die Menschenrechtsbildung in der Sozialen Arbeit, spezifisch im Berufsfeld der Soziokulturellen Animation, und leitet Handlungsempfehlungen für das noch junge Berufsfeld ab.

Abstract

This article proposes to associate a Deuterium-Deuterium (D-D) fusion reactor with a PWR (fission Pressurized Water Reactor) in a hybrid reactor. Even if the mechanical gain (Q factor) of the D-D fusion reactor is below the unity and consequently consumes more energy than it supplies, due to the high energy amplification factor of the PWR fission reactor, the global yield is widely superior to 1. As the energy supplied by the fusion reactor is relatively low and as the neutrons supplied are mainly issued from D-D fusions (at 2.45 MeV), the problems of heat flux and neutrons damage connected with materials, as with D-T fusion reactors, are reduced. Of course, there is no need to produce Tritium with this D-D fusion reactor. This type of reactor is able to incinerate any mixture of natural Uranium, natural Thorium and depleted Uranium (waste issued from enrichment plants), with natural Thorium being the best choice.  No enriched fuel is needed. So this type of reactor could constitute a source of energy for several thousands of years, because it is about 90 more efficient that a standard fission reactor, such as a PWR or a Candu one, by extracting almost completely the energy from the fertile materials U238 and Th232.For about the fission part, the PWR technology is mature. For about the fusion part, it is based on reasonable hypotheses done on present Stellarators projects. The working of this reactor is continuous, 24 hours a day. In this paper, it will be targeted a reactor able to provide a net electric power of about 1400 MWe, as a big fission power plant.

description: Anticoagulant drugs currently play a crucial role in preventing severe deep vein thrombosis, heart attacks, heart valve diseases and contribute to the regulation of blood flow. Thus, the existing study reports the redox behaviour of Edoxaban (EDX) anticoagulant drug at bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for establishing sensitive, and selective adsorptive square wave – cathodic stripping voltammtric (Ads SW-CSV) probe for EDX detection. Under the optimal analytical parameters, the probe displayed good linear dynamic range (LDR) of EDX from 1.0 × 10−6 − 1.0 × 10−5 M. The probe displayed probe sensitivity, limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of 18.5 µA µM−1 cm−2, 3.3 × 10−7 and 1.0 × 10−6 M, respectively. The probe offered quick response, good anti-interference ability towards multiple co-existing species, good recovery (99.21 ± 5.02), reproducibility, and repeatability with relative standard deviation (RSD) of ± 3.0% at 1.0 × 10−6 M of EDX (n = 3). Intraday and interday precisions of the probe were 99.8 ± 1.74 and 99.54 ± 2.08% at 1.0 × 10−6 M of EDX, respectively. The probe was fruitfully applied for EDX detection in its formulations and its residue in water samples with good recovery (99.76 ± 3.768–101.43 ± 0.09) and precision (RSD < 3%) at low and high EDX levels. The tabulated Student t test (ttab=2.78) was higher than the experimental texp = 1.3–1.7 at 95% probability (n = 5). The probe exhibited good sensitivity and selectivity towards EDX detection in drug formulation and environmental water samples. The probe has long-term stability and high level of anti-interference performance towards EDX detection.

description: In this work, a compact sub-ppb-level NOx chemiluminescence sensor, ideal for outdoor monitoring, was developed based on a well-designed air-fed ozoniser and capillary flow stabiliser. A strategy for the air-fed discharge and the optimal injected air flow rate were investigated with the broadband absorption technique to ensure a stable and sufficient ozone production without NOx by-products. A stable sampling flow rate, which is critical to the relative chemiluminescence method, was achieved by controlling the pressure drop over a capillary tube with a diameter of ~100 μm. The critical point of Pin/Pout >2.5 was revealed with experiments. The performance of the proposed NOx sensor was assessed with the standard gas in the concentration ranges of 60.3 ppb to 12.6 ppm. By analysing the Allan variance, it can be determined that a detection limit of 25 ppt is obtained at an integration time of 285 s. Finally, a three-day continuous monitor of the atmospheric NO/NOx locally in Beijing was conducted, which suggests the great potential of the proposed sensor for environmental measurement.
