description: In the present work, a thiol, 4-((4-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)-N-(4-mercaptophenyl)benzamide (HBMB) was synthesised and subjected to UV-visible measurements for assessing its sensing potential towards diverse metal ions. HBMB was found to exhibit sensitivity towards Fe3+ over a wide linear concentration range from 0.66 µM to 38.46 µM (r2 = 0.986 ± 0.005) with a detection limit of 3.60 × 10−7 M. Electrochemical behaviour of HBMB was investigated using CV and DPV which displayed oxidation peaks at 1.01 V and 0.949 V, respectively. In DPV titration, HBMB exhibited sensitivity towards Fe3+ in a linear concentration range from 0.2 µM to 5.56 µM with a detection limit of 5.17 × 10−6 M. HBMB incorporating Fe3+-CPE was found to exhibit Nernstian slope of 18.3 mVdec−1 in the concentration range of 1.00 × 10−5 M - 1.00 × 10−1 M and detection limit of 3.98 × 10−6 M with a short response time of 10 s. DFT studies also confirmed HBMB-Fe3+ complexation with increase in HOMO-LUMO gap from 0.05 hartree to 0.14 hartree and negative binding energy of −0.013 hartree. Moreover, HBMB-based sensors was successfully applied for estimating Fe3+ content in different real samples of water, soil and food grains which could be extended to other samples of biological and environmental importance.

description: This study investigates the physicochemical and biological properties of metal oxide nanoparticles (TiO2, ZnO, and Fe3O4) synthesised via the phytosynthesis method using an extract from Boerhaavia diffusa leaves (BDL). The proteins and phenols present in the BDL extract played essential roles in reducing and stabilising TiO2, ZnO, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The study reveals size-dependent morphological, structural, and biological characteristics of the produced nanoparticles. FTIR spectra confirm the involvement of BDL extract in the synthesis process of TiO2, ZnO, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of TiO2 nanoparticles identified small, spherical particles (9 nm in diameter). BDL-derived TiO2, ZnO, and Fe3O4 demonstrated significant photocatalytic activity, achieving degradation rates of 98.96%, 96.26%, and 94.42%, respectively, in the decomposition of mono-azo dye after 40 minutes of UV irradiation. The reaction rates for BDL-derived TiO2, ZnO, and Fe3O4 were 0.367/min, 0.186/min, and 0.061/min, respectively, when catalysing the reduction of 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-Aminophenol using NaBH4. BDL-derived TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited significant antibacterial effectiveness, showing a 23.6 mm zone of inhibition against Salmonella typhi. The BDL-derived TiO2, ZnO, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles exhibited remarkable cytotoxicity against lung cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 76.36 µg/mL, 90.21 µg/mL, and 94.61 µg/mL, respectively. This study reveals the potential of BDL-derived TiO2, ZnO, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles for applications in antibacterial, anticancer, catalytic, and photocatalytic fields, contributing to sustainable development of multifunctional nanomaterials for various technical and environmental advancements.

description: Herein, a biocomposite of crosslinked chitosan polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (CS-PEDGE), montmorillonite (MMT), and food-grade algae (FGA) was successfully prepared by a hydrothermal technique. The resulting absorbent (CS-PEDGE/FGA/MMT) was assessed for its adsorption property with methyl violet 2B (MV 2B) a toxic cationic dye. The physicochemical properties of CS-EDGE/FGA/MMT were assessed via various analytical techniques, including BET, Elemental analysis, pHpzc, and spectroscopy (FTIR, XRD, SEM-EDX). The influence of three adsorption variables, namely adsorbent dose (A: 0.02–0.1 g/100 mL), solution pH (B: 4–10), and contact time (C: 10–420 min) on the rate of MV 2B dye removal was examined using the Box-Behnken design (RSM-BBD). The findings from the equilibrium isotherm and kinetic analyses suggest that the MV 2B dye adsorption onto the biocomposite surface follow the Freundlich model and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. The biocomposite adsorbent exhibits a maximum dye adsorption capacity (qmax) of 94.2 mg/g. The proposed MV 2B dye adsorption mechanism involves hydrogen bonding, n-π stacking, and electrostatic forces. This research demonstrates the unique structure and outstanding adsorption properties of CS-EDGE/FGA/MMT, which offers a viable solution for removal of detrimental MV 2B dyes from aqueous media.

description: In the present study, the ion exchange behaviour of cerium (IV) amino tris-(methylenephosphonic acid) (CeATMP) towards transition and heavy metal ions has been studied by determining the values of distribution coefficient (Kd) and breakthrough capacity (BTC). Various kinetic models such as pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intra-particle diffusion have been applied to determine ion exchange efficiency and compared with the reported works. As a result, CeATMP was found to be an efficient ion exchange material in term of a very short equilibrium time to for a metal ion to occupy an exchange site. Among the separation studies, elution behaviour of these metal ions has been executed using various acids and electrolytes media. A few binary and ternary metal ion separations also have been performed with consideration of Kd values. A study on regeneration shows that material can be reused without loss of the performance ability in term of cation exchange capacity. The present work reveals a significant use of CeATMP as an effective cation exchange material for removing and separation of inorganic contamination as environmental cleaning applications.

description: In this paper, we illustrate an efficient and simple fluorescence (FL) sensing approach for the specific determination of arsenite (As(III)) in aqueous solution by alendronate-functionalised carbon quantum dots (A-CQDs) as a turn-on fluorescent probe. A-CQDs exhibit linear FL turn-on response towards the increasing concentration of As(III) analyte with a limit of detection of 0.007 µM and a linear range of 0.03–1.87 µM. The selectivity study demonstrates that the A-CQDs are very selective for As(III) detection, even at a higher concentration of other interfering ions. The sensing pathway for the sensitivity of A-CQDs assay to quantify As(III) ions is expected to rely on the chelation-enhanced FL (CHEF) mechanism between A-CQDs and the analyte. This mechanism is verified by the density functional theory methodology. The practical application of this simple and reliable sensor is demonstrated by assaying As(III) in rice and seawater samples, which confirms that A-CQDs have good potential for real sample analysis in food and environmental samples.

description: This study was aimed at designing a new type of heterojunction catalyst for the degradation of Favipiravir using visible light. Several WO3–ZnO nanocomposites with different Zn contents varying from 1 to 20 wt% were successfully developed via a simple one-step microwave irradiation procedure. Various analytical methods, including XRD, TEM, FESEM, EDAX, FTIR, and BET, BJH characterised the WO3-Zn catalysts. XRD pattern revealed that the small size of Zn ions is caused by the easy penetration of Zn ions into the WO3 crystalline with a monoclinic phase, which will lead to an increase in the surface area and a decrease in the size of the particles. According to FESEM and TEM images, nanocomposite particles had a non-uniform, irregular shape and a smaller particle size (20 to 40 nm). EDAX analysis related to WO3-Zn synthesised showed the O, W and Zn elements are 10%, 67%, and 23%, respectively. Response surface methodology using R software was used as a tool to optimise the amount of catalyst and Favipiravir concentration, time and pH. Effective parameters in the process, including the amount of catalyst in the range (0.5 to 2.5 g L−1), Favipiravir concentration in the range (1–10 mg L−1), time in the range (10–90 min) and pH in the range (4 to 9) were entered into the software and analysed. Under the optimised conditions of the parameters (pH, 4.96; amount of catalyst, 2 g L−1; amount of Favipiravir concentration, 10 mg L−1; and time, 60 min), the maximum removal efficiency (99.99%) was obtained. Also, 85.8% of the mineralisation of Favipiravir was found under the determined optimum conditions. Quenching experiments were conducted to investigate the reaction mechanism, the results showed that superoxide and hydroxyl oxidising radicals play an essential role in Favipiravir degradation..

description: In this work, the adsorption efficiency of chitosan-modified manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4) nanoparticles synthesised by the in situ-coprecipitation method was investigated towards Isotretinoin and Adapalene retinoid drugs sorption from water. The investigation of field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transformation infrared spectra, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction peaks, and magnetic properties indicated the synthesis of crystalline supermagnetic nanoparticles with 52.4 ± 15 nm particle size and 26.74 m2g−1 BET surface area. The central composite design (CCD) estimated the interaction impact of adsorbent dosage (0.1–1.3 g/L), contact time (5–65 min), pH (1.5–11.5), and temperature (15–55°C) on the Isotretinoin and Adapalene adsorption using chitosan-modified MnFe2O4 adsorbent. The optimum values of temperature, contact time, adsorbent dosage and pH for the maximum adsorption efficiency of Isotretinoin & Adapalene based on CCD were estimated to be 49.75°C, 57.73 min, 1.3 g/L and 9.48 & 53.38°C, 56.82 min, 1.3 g/L and 9.28, respectively. The maximum experimental removal efficiency of Isotretinoin and Adapalene under optimum conditions was 90.8% and 78.5%, respectively. The Pseudo-second-order kinetic and Redlich-Peterson isotherm models displayed the adsorption mechanism of drugs. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of chitosan-modified MnFe2O4 for Isotretinoin and Adapalene molecules sorption was 191.52 and 156.73 mg.g−1, respectively under equilibrium time of 60 min. The adsorption capability of Isotretinoin and Adapalene was stable for three adsorption-desorption cycles. The maximum release of Isotretinoin and Adapalene was 80.2% and 64.15%, respectively, at temperature of 50°C and pH of 5 within 48 h. The Korsmeyer–Peppas pharmacokinetic model could describe the release data of Isotretinoin and Adapalene from chitosan-modified MnFe2O4. The results promised the high capability of the synthesised magnetic nanoparticles as a responsive carrier for the delivery of retinoid drugs.

description: Die digitale Arbeitsumgebung „ediarum“ ist eine von TELOTA aus mehreren Softwarekomponenten entwickelte Lösung, die es den Wissenschaftlern erlaubt, Transkriptionen von Manuskripten in TEI-konformem XML zu bearbeiten, mit einem Text- und Sachapparat zu versehen und anschließend auch – ohne weitere größere Arbeit – im Druck und im Web zu veröffentlichen. ediarum muss stets für das konkrete Projekt angepasst werden.

Als wichtigste Softwarekomponente der neuen Arbeitsumgebung wird „Oxygen XML Author“ eingesetzt. Die Bearbeiter arbeiten in Oxygen XML Author nicht in einer Codeansicht, sondern in einer benutzerfreundlichen „Autorenansicht“. Der gesamte Text kann dadurch einfach und schnell mit TEI-konformen XML ausgezeichnet bzw. mit Registereinträgen verknüpft werden.

Als zentrales Repositorium für die XML-Dokumente nutzt ediarum die freie XML-Datenbank „existdb“. Dadurch können alle Projektmitarbeiter online auf ein und denselben Datenbestand zugreifen und zusammenarbeiten.

Neben der eigentlichen Arbeitsumgebung in Oxygen XML Author, wird für die Forschungsvorhaben auch jeweils eine Website auf Basis von eXist, XQuery und XSLT erstellt. In ihr kann von den Wissenschaftlern der aktuelle Datenbestand leicht durchblättert bzw. durchsucht werden.

Als weitere Ausgabemöglichkeit wird außerdem mit Hilfe von „ConTeXt“ eine Druckausgabe implementiert, die automatisch aus den aktuellen TEI-XML-Dokumenten ein PDF erstellt. Die Gestaltung und Formatierung kann dabei gedruckten Bänden der jeweiligen Edition entsprechen.

Die Arbeitsumgebung wird seit 2012 in mehreren Projekten eingesetzt und von Wissenschaftlern der BBAW bei ihrer täglichen Arbeit benutzt. Nach der erfolgreichen Pilotumsetzung im Akademienvorhaben „Friedrich Schleiermacher in Berlin 1808-1834. Briefe, Vorlesungen, Tageskalender“ wurde ediarum bisher in mehreren anderen Akademienvorhaben und externen Projekten eingesetzt.

description: Pesticide pollution on environmental matrices has attracted increasing attention worldwide. Pesticide runoff from agricultural crops into surface waters may impact ecosystems and human health through drinking water consumption in pesticide-polluted areas. This study aims to develop and validate a simpler, faster, and more accessible methodology for the analysis of organophosphate pesticides, such as acephate and methamidophos, using HPLC-ESI-MS (QqQ). Acephate and methamidophos are two of the most common and efficient systemic pesticides in the organophosphate family, known for their high effectiveness against insects and pests. Firstly, different extractions were tested: liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), low-temperature partitioning extraction (LTPE) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) with a usual and accessible cartridge, C18. LLE and LTPE showed low sensitivities, probably because acephate and methamidophos are extremely hydrophilic compounds, like many organophosphorus pesticides. Thus, they have low interaction with the extractor solvent, resulting in low extraction rates. SPE with C18 cartridge led to the best extraction of acephate and methamidophos in water matrices and was chosen for the validated process. The selected method ensured acceptable recoveries, within the same range found in the scientific literature (9–49%) and within relative standard deviations below 20%. However, future efforts regarding other types of cartridges are encouraged. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of the analytical method were 0.2 µg/L and 0.5 µg/L for acephate and methamidophos, values lower than those reported in the scientific literature. The developed method was used to quantify the levels of such organophosphate pesticides in samples from Brazilian surface water and none of the target pesticides were detected in these aquatic matrices.

description: Modelling can be considered one of the – if not ‘the’ – Digital Humanities primitives. The activity of analysing and modelling some Humanities domain or domains with the purpose of making them processable by a computer represents one of the defining characteristics of DH. The lectures will focus on different aspects of modelling and on how these can be used on a constructive ending for the understanding of texts and textual scholarship. 

The first part will focus on the definition of what is modelling and which role does modelling of data play in the Digital Humanities. The lecture focuses in particular on the integration of Digital Humanities and scientific methods by means of the creation of theoretical models. 

The second part will instead focus on a model of text, document and work, using the model as an epistemological tool for the understanding of the editorial work. The lecture will then consider textual transmission where a classic communication model will be used to understand where textual variation intervenes and how.

description: On-site quantification of rocket fuel unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) transformation products (TPs) in water is important to obtain fast results, particularly after major accidental fuel spills. In this study, the method based on vacuum-assisted headspace solid-phase microextraction (Vac-HSSPME) for quantification of UDMH TPs in water was adapted for application in combination with portable gas chromatograph (GC) with a nitrogen-phosphorus detector (NPD). External standard calibration plots in distilled water demonstrated good accuracy for all analytes (except N,N-dimethylformamide) providing spike recoveries 73.3% − 90.0% from different types of water. The limits of detection (LODs) varied from 0.2 to 40 µg L−1. From the on-site measurements at a fall site of the first stage of Proton-M rocket in Ulytau Region, Kazakhstan, only 1-methyl-1H-pyrazole and N-methylformamide were detected with their signal-to-noise ratios below 10. The method based on Vac-HSSPME-GC-NPD can be recommended for quick and accurate on-site quantification of UDMH TPs in water contaminated with rocket fuel and/or in water bodies near the fuel spills, particularly after major accidents.

description: This report presents the cross-analysis of the cross-cutting social, economic, cultural, educational and institutional barriers to the implementation of energy efficiency in the building and transport sectors for all eight HERON partner countries. The cross-cutting barriers relate to barriers that affect both the transport and building sectors, and this report seeks to build on the individual barriers

within the building and transport sectors that were identified in D.2.1 ‘Mapping social, economic, cultural and educational barriers in buildings and transport’. The report is based on the eight individual national reports from the HERON partner countries, included in Annexes, and sought to clarify and integrate the cross-cutting barriers identified within these individual reports. This report first outlines the common social, cultural, educational, economic and institutional cross-cutting barriers, followed by an assessment of the level of potential impact of the cross-cutting barriers. The final section presents a review of the partner countries in terms of whether or not cross-sector, or sector-specific only, policy instruments are currently in place to tackle the crosscutting barriers.

Empirical essays on inferring information from options and other financial
      derivatives

description: This thesis consists of three essays on inferring information from option
      contracts and other financial derivatives in the U.S. market as well as in
      the international markets.

      The first essay examines corporate bankruptcy probabilities inferred from
      option prices and credit default swaps (CDS) spreads around the 2008
      financial crisis in the U.S. market. Option pricing framework is used
      where the risk-neutral density of the underlying asset is assumed to be a
      mixture of two lognormals augmented with a probability of default, to
      calibrate to the market option prices. The CDS model assumes a constant
      default probability which is solved from the non-linear equation that
      equates the present value of expected premium payments with the present
      value of expected payoffs. The essay documents that both sources provide
      ex-ante bankruptcy probabilities, but there is no significant evidence
      suggesting one predicts the other.

      The second essay constructs volatility indices for 15 markets around the
      world and examines implied volatility spillover between these markets.
      Volatility indices are constructed using option prices based on the new
      VIX methodology with modification to address its limitations. Spillover
      effects are then examined using vector autoregressive analysis, impulse
      response functions and forecast error variance decomposition. Empirical
      results show that the U.S. is unambiguously the dominant source of
      uncertainty in the world. Correlation between markets largely depends on
      geographical proximity. The findings support the notion of informationally
      efficient international stock markets, in that information transmitted
      from one market to another is processed within one or two days.

      The third essay further investigates spillover effects in variance risk
      premiums, which has been interpreted as the difference between the
      realised variance under the physical measure and the risk-neutral measure.
      Realized variance under the physical measure is constructed for each
      market using the HAR-RV model, which is able to capture long-memory
      characteristic of volatility. Risk-neutral expectation of future variance
      is approximated by a portfolio of option contracts, as calculated in the
      second essay. Steps are taken to address serial correlation and
      dependence, and variance risk premium spillovers are examined using vector
      autoregressive analysis, impulse response functions, and Granger Causality
      tests. The findings are consistent with those found in implied volatility
      spillovers. The U.S. market is the distributor of uncertainty in the
      global market. Information transmitted from one market to another is
      quickly digested, but it may take longer in crisis period due to greater
      uncertainty.

description: Skin whitening creams may contain impermissible levels of toxic metals, especially the non-regulated products. The present work aims to check the quality of selected skin whitening products sold in Sargodha, Pakistan for their heavy metals content because these products are in direct and in frequent contact with the skin and mucous membranes causing hazardous effects. Quantification of the metals under study was made using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry after wet digestion of the samples. The results show that the concentrations of heavy metals are ranked as follows: As (263 ppm) > Pb (26 ppm) > Cr (2 ppm) > Cu (0.7 ppm) > Cd (not detected). The calculated p value of 0.00 (>0.05) depicts a significant difference in the levels of heavy metals in the same creams and for the same metal among different creams. The normality of the data was checked by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro–Wilk tests, while metal-to-metal correlation was determined by the Pearson Correlation Coefficient. Comparison of the results with limitations set by the international regulatory bodies showed that the levels of As, Pb and Cr in these creams are above the safety limits. A strict monitoring is suggested during the manufacturing process to avoid any detrimental effects.

description: Im Jugendalter entwickeln sich Heranwachsende zu selbständigen und selbstbestimmten Individuen. Dabei stehen die Ablösung von den Eltern und die damit in Verbindung stehende Übernahme von autonomen Rechten im Zentrum. Dies stellt Eltern vor Herausforderungen, da es gleichzeitig die Entwicklung der Jugendlichen zu fördern und Grenzen auszuhandeln und durchzusetzen gilt. Der Wertepluralismus der heutigen Zeit kann Eltern dabei verunsichern. In Anlehnung an die Studie von Schneewind und Braun von 1988 wurde eine quantitative Forschung zum Zeitpunkt der Gewährung und der Inanspruchnahme von autonomen Rechten im Jugendalter durchgeführt. Dabei wurden verschiedene Inhalte aus den Bereichen Lebensführung, Zeiteinteilung, Finanzen, Vergnügen/Freizeit und Liebesbeziehung/Flirt erfragt. Die Datenerhebung erfolgte mittels standardisiertem Fragebogen bei rund 700 jungen Erwachsenen im Alter von 18 bis 25 Jahren. Nach der Befragung wurden die Fragebögen aufbereitet und anhand der beschreibenden Statistik ausgewertet. Die Befragung hat ergeben, dass die Gewährung und die Inanspruchnahme von autonomen Rechten weitgehend übereinstimmen, wobei in den letzten 25 Jahren in gewissen Bereichen eine deutliche Vorverschiebung stattgefunden hat. Anhand der Forschungsergebnisse wurde eine Orientierungshilfe zur Gewährung von autonomen Rechten im Jugendalter ausgearbeitet. Diese soll Praxisinstitutionen bei der Entwicklung einer gemeinsamen Haltung unterstützen. Fachpersonen der Sozialen Arbeit sollen verunsicherten Eltern die Orientierungshilfe in einem persönlichen Gespräch näher bringen und übergeben. Die Angaben, wie andere Eltern mit der Autonomiegewährung umgehen, dienen diesen Eltern als Orientierung.

description: The contamination of water sources with dyes like methylene blue poses significant environmental and health challenges. To overcome this problem, the development of materials capable of effectively removing dyes is essential. This research focuses on the synthesis, characterisation as well as application of a CuO-based hydrogel nanocomposite (NAM@CuO NCs) as an adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) dye removal from wastewater. The NAM@CuO NCs have been prepared via the sol-gel method. Their properties were analysed using methods like ultraviolet–visible (UV) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), point of zero charge (PZC), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and scanning electron microscopy- energy dispersive studies (SEM-EDX). Adsorption experiments were performed in batch mode to estimate the nanocomposite’s effectiveness, considering variables like preliminary dye concentration, pH, contact time and adsorbent dosage. The NAM@CuO NCs exhibited excellent adsorption performance under optimal conditions, achieving an excellent removal efficiency of 93.99% for MB dye. The adsorption process conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the equilibrium data aligned well with both the Langmuir and the Freundlich isotherm models, showing an adsorption capacity of 82.44 mg/g for MB dye. Regeneration experiments demonstrated the adsorbent’s reusability, with only a 9.6% efficiency reduction after five cycles. Additionally, the catalytic reduction of MB dye using NAM@CuO NCs reached 93.99% within 210 s in the presence of NaBH4 as a reduction agent, highlighting the rapid reduction of MB dye. This suggests that NAM@CuO NCs possess excellent catalytic activity under visible light exposure. With its high efficiency and potential for practical wastewater treatment applications, NAM@CuO NCs offer a sustainable and effective solution for the removal of methylene blue from contaminated water.

description: In this study, an investigation was conducted on the effectiveness of three bioadsorbents – galbuli of Cupressus sempervirens L. almond shells, and Luffa – for removing methylene blue (MB) from water. Various activation techniques and operational conditions were employed to enhance the adsorption capacity. The study focused on adsorption kinetics and equilibrium capacity. The results showed that microwave-dried galbuli of Cupressus sempervirens L. exhibited the highest adsorption capacity of 38.05 mg/g with an adsorption efficiency of 17.4%. To improve this capacity, the Dragonfly Algorithm-integrated least squares (DA-LS) was proposed to optimise the fitting of 32 adsorption isotherm models, which included a proposed modified Langmuir model. After optimisation, the sixth chemical treatment of Cupressus sempervirens L. reached a Langmuir isotherm qmax value of 84.44 mg/g, suggesting the high efficiency of the bioadsorbent compared to previous studies. Characterisation using microscopy and ATR-FTIR techniques revealed that chemical modifications led to rougher, microporous cellulose fibres and significant changes in the chemical structure, potentially enhancing the surface area and adsorption efficiency. To predict the adsorption capacity, the Support Vector Machine for Regression with DA (SVMR-DA) was utilised, achieving a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.357 and an R2 of 0.9913. This high accuracy indicates a reliable model with a robust error distribution. These results suggest that Cupressus sempervirens L. can be an effective bioadsorbent for water treatment, with significant potential for industrial application.
