description: This study investigates the binary adsorption of industrial dyes, Evans Blue (EB) and Congo Red (CR), on natural Marl Clay. The co-adsorption behaviour was analysed using the Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm model. The Marl Clay was characterised using SEM-EDX, XRD, TGA-DSC, and BET analyses, revealing a mesoporous structure with a specific surface area of 40.4 m2/g, a total pore volume of 0.054 cm3/g, and an average pore diameter of 9.9 nm. The adsorbent dose played a crucial role in removal efficiency. At an optimal dose of 2 g.L−1, removal rates reached 91.7% for EB and 79.5% for CR. The binary system exhibited synergistic adsorption, enhancing total adsorption capacity by 12% compared to single-dye systems. Kinetic modelling using the pseudo-second-order model showed strong predictive accuracy (R2 > 0.98, RMSE < 1%), confirming the model’s reliability. Additionally, the Statistical Rate Theory (SRT) model provided deeper insights into the competitive adsorption dynamics in binary systems, surpassing traditional models. The Langmuir and Freundlich models were inadequate for binary mixtures, validating the need of multi-component models like the extended Langmuir-Freundlich. This research enhances the understanding of the co-adsorption mechanisms and highlights the potential of Marl Clay as a sustainable and efficient adsorbent for dye-laden wastewater treatment. These findings have significant implications for industrial environmental management.

Hacia una des-categorización de la ‘identidad hispanoamericana’: estrategias queer en Roberto Bolaño y Pedro Lemebel
Creators: name: Bizzarri, Gabriele
Publisher: name: Altre Modernità
Year: 2017
Subjects: teoria queer; teoria postcoloniale; Bolaño; Lemebel; identità

description: The presence of queer motifs in contemporary Latin American literature is getting more and more relevant nowadays, generating a rich and complex corpus of texts where the thematic obsession with the opaque, incongruous, mischievous body overtly exceeds the LGBT borders and becomes a strategy of experimenting new politics and poetics of representing Latin American collective identity. This essay aims at giving a new theoretically hybrid frame of reading to some of the most emblematic texts of the contemporary canon, one where the postcolonial discourse mixes with queer studies. A classic urban chronicle about transvestism by Pedro Lemebel and the novel Woes of the true Policeman by Roberto Bolaño will be considered as case studies: both the faux detective story of a Chilean exiled investigating on his own sexual ambiguity and the magic-realistic performance of a indio imitator of the pop singer Madonna seems to allude to a sort of subversive continuation of the postcolonial assessment of the New World, in which notions of “obliqueness”, “unaccountability” and, crucially, “vulnerability” sound ambiguously as a critical response and as an ingenious actualization of traditionally fostered cultural constructs such as “mestizaje” and hybridization.

Subjects: HIV/AIDS; Fernando Vallejo; Caring for Oneself; Literature and Bioethics; Des/integración; Body and Disease

description: In the following article, through Fernando Vallejo’s novel El desbarrancadero, I will reflect on the Latin American seropositive bodies; specifically the ones that experienced the disease at the end of the past century. In order to this I will analyze two concepts. First, the neologism des/integration, as a contemporary strategy to understand the body living with the disease, that seeks to find new forms of meaning and agency. And second, the concept of “caring for oneself”, which I intend to apply in the literary terrain, through self-writings (and readings), that enable innovative models of bioethical action to be applied with the purpose of understanding new and productive historicities for the Latin American region.

Past Continuous / A Life Apart or a (dis)integration: alienation, transgression, and the grotesque body in Neel Mukherjee’s novel
Creators: name: Beretta, Carlotta
Publisher: name: Altre Modernità
Year: 2017
Subjects: migration; body; transgression; alienation; Neel Mukherjee; Tagore

description: What drives a migrant? And what is her/his place in society? Neel Mukherjee’s first novel, Past Continuous / A Life Apart, explores the complexities of the migratory experience and tries to answer these questions. The narrative unites the classic Oxford years’ account with the experience of illegal migration. As Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson point out in Border as Method (2013), European laws pose a deep dividing line between people who move to the continent (in its broader sense) to foster their education, and those who migrate to find a job and start a new life. However, Mukherjee’s novel demonstrates how easy it is to slip from one category to the other, and the terrible consequences that this can have on people’s lives.
This essay will analyse Past Continuous as a peculiar example of migrant literature. It will start by locating the novel into the genre of diaspora and migration literature. Then, it will examine it from three thematic viewpoints: alienation, the status of British women in India, and transgression.

description: The study is centred on the synthesis of B-ZnO photocatalysts via a straightforward mechanochemical combustion method using various weight percentages of B. The synthesised photocatalysts were characterised by XRD, FTIR, FESEM, TEM, XPS, UV-DRS, and BET. Biopersistent ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation efficiency was investigated with the synthesised B-ZnO. Among the compositions, 4%B-ZnO exhibited the highest photocatalytic efficiency in degrading CIP under both natural sunlight and UV-C. The excellent catalytic activity was attributed to the increased surface area of 4% B-ZnO determined through BET analysis. Under optimised conditions (CIP: 10 mg/L, pH: 6.3, photocatalyst dose: 0.4 g/L), the highest CIP photodegradation efficiency was 92.05% over only 60 min of sunlight irradiation and 90.95% under 80 min of UV-C irradiation. The degradation products of CIP exhibited no antibacterial activity against random soil bacteria. The degradation of CIP followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, with a rate constant of 0.023 min−1. Scavenger tests implied •O2− radicals’ involvement in photodegradation. CIP mineralisation by 48.53% over 3 h under sunlight was observed. After undergoing four cycles of sunlight exposure, the degradation efficiency reached 84.89%. Additionally, during 80 min of UV-C irradiation, the photodegradation efficiency of the dyes turquoise blue and Congo red was 77.91% and 98.92%, respectively.
Frammentazione spaziale e testuale in Ghana Must Go (2013) di Taiye Selasi
Creators: name: Brazzelli, Nicoletta
Publisher: name: Altre Modernità
Year: 2017
Subjects: Afropolitanism; Migration; Taiye Selasi; Transnationalism

description: Contemporary (especially women’s) “Afropolitan” narrations portray multiple and displaced identities, developed in fragmented and diversified spaces. New global geographies including African countries, Great Britain and the United States encompass migrating characters, not belonging to any nation, yet, at the same time, to all of them. In Ghana Must Go (2013) Taiye Selasi points to the issue of cultural, ethnic and linguistic mixture, through a non-linear textual construction, where spaces and times are multiple, the main events are intermixed with flashbacks, different points of view alternate and overlap. Selasi’s novel, the title of which refers to the bags used by the Ghanaian refugees driven away from Nigeria in 1983, is divided into three sections (“gone-going-go”), and basically narrates the story of Kweku (a Ghanaian surgeon) and Fola (his Nigerian wife) and of their “American” family, of their four children, born and educated in the USA, successful professionals, artists, scholars, but weak and problematic individuals. The Sai family is scattered in different places and only shares the same experience after the death of their father, moving back from America to Ghana. The characters’ identity is mobile and their home is not based in a specific place but lies in their familiar and affective ties. In a transnational context, Ghana Must Go focuses on the final recomposition of a dislocated family, through a narration that displays the fragility of contemporary relationships across gender, ethnicity, cultures and languages.

Inhabiting the Classic, Constructing the Self: Translated and Translating Voices in Josephine Balmer’s Poetry
Creators: name: Trivellini, Samanta
Publisher: name: Altre Modernità
Year: 2017
Subjects: Josephine Balmer; classical translation; elegiac poetry; Ovid; exile poetry; Salman Rushdie

description: Creative translation and versioning of classical material is arguably a significant aspect of 20th-century poetry and continues to represent a driving force in 21st-century poetic production. A field reclaimed by classical scholars, translators and poets, this phenomenon has often provided the artists themselves with a rich ground for reflecting on their own poetical voice. The recontextualization of the classic in new poetry by means of creative translation will be explored through examples from the British poet Jospehine Balmer (b. 1959); like one of her Modernist models, Ezra Pound, Balmer has consistently absorbed classical translation into her own works, often blurring the boundaries between creative translation and original. Her trans-creative poetry raises the question about the use of the classical voice as a space to be both inscribed with personal experiences and employed as a distancing filter from the self. In her collection Chasing Catullus (2004) Balmer moves in and out of her autobiography by self-consciously “overwriting” her own memories through classical versioning. The Word for Sorrow (2009) approaches the themes of displacement and loss through the prism of Ovid’s exilic persona, combining the ancient poet’s voice with that of a British soldier who fought at Gallipoli and the self-conscious voice of the poet-translator. By borrowing Salman Rushdie’s metaphor of the migrant as a “translated man”, my contribution will also address translation as a trope of the writing self in Balmer’s hybrid works.

description: This study presents a simultaneous, rapid, and highly sensitive electrochemical detection of 2,4- and 2,5-dinitrophenol isomers using an iron bismuth oxide (FeBiO3)-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The FeBiO3-modified GCE exhibited superior electrochemical performance over bare GCE, Bi2O3-modified GCE, and Fe2O3-modified GCE, as demonstrated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) with the potassium ferricyanide (Fe(CN6)3-/4-) standard. The synthesised electrocatalyst FeBiO3 exhibited strong absorption both in the visible and UV regions of the spectrum, attributed to band gap transitions and charge transfer transitions linked to its Bi2O3 and Fe2O3 components. The morphology and the structure of the FeBiO3 were characterised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was employed to analyse the functional groups attached to the surface of FeBiO3. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) clearly demonstrated an increased current and improved peak resolution for the reduction of 2,4- and 2,5-dinitrophenols at the FeBiO3/GCE, compared to the bare GCE. The mechanism shows that the reduction of 2,4- and 2,5-dinitrophenols occurs through interactions with the surface oxygen functional groups of FeBiO3, resulting in the stepwise reduction of their NO2 groups to hydroxyamino compounds and then to nitrosophenols. Using square wave voltammetry (SWV), the reduction peak currents were significantly improved, enhancing detection sensitivity beyond that reported in previous works. A linear range from 1 µM to 1 mm for the dinitrophenol isomers was established, with detection limits of 0.07 µM for 2,4-dinitrophenol and 0.09 µM for 2,5-dinitrophenol. The FeBiO3/GCE electrode showed interferences with mono-nitrophenols and mono-/di-chlorophenols in solution but maintained excellent long-term stability and reproducibility, allowing it to effectively detect dinitrophenol isomers in drinking water, tap water, and wastewater samples.

Alejandra Pizarnik: de la desintegración del sujeto a las identidades transitivas e infinitas
Creators: name: Rocco, Federica
Publisher: name: Altre Modernità
Year: 2017

description: In the work of the Argentinian writer Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972), the disintegration of the subject is tied to the use of (pro)nouns and their several multiplications.

The linguistic and textual strategies employed to convey a symbolic representation of sexuality witness a voice whose sexual, national, ethnic and cultural identity is transitive and transgressive - thus questioning the traditional identity pillars imposed by the Western (Euro-North-American) heteronormativity.

In the last years of the writer’s life, the struggle with language was intertwined with a psycophysical condition that caused regular hospitalizations but laid the basis for a borderline experience which fostered literary creations. In them, her monitored, punished and transformed corporeality still found a way to transgress the rules of the ‘disciplinary’ society.

Los espacios de frontera: el locus de la violencia y la disgregación de identidades en Los límites de la noche de Eduardo Antonio Parra
Creators: name: Torres Torija G., Mónica
Publisher: name: Altre Modernità
Year: 2017
Subjects: Urban locus; liquid border; violence; disintegration; identity

description: This paper aims to review how the identity of human barbarism embodied by Eduardo Antonio Parra in the northern topography is transformed in the border spaces, which is transfigured in the locus of violence in the nocturnal wandering of its protagonists, who are subjected to the most varied nuances of social violence that marginalizes, condemns and sometimes annihilates its inhabitants. A disintegration of the bodies of the protagonists is transformed into a disintegration of identities in the spaces in which they transit, a kind of liquid border in which the "limits" allude to a marked individual and social disintegration of northern Mexico. A territory where the inequity of society and the problems generated by violence, insecurity and injustice, lead to a deconstruction of the subject and loss of identity.
Parra shows in these stories the decentering of the subject, the nonsense, the presence of the unconscious, the desire, the violence and the alienation. A postmodernity in which only the most intimate bonds become liquid and unstable; in which human contact becomes inconsistent. Three fundamental aspects will be developed in this analysis of Los límites de la noche (Era, 1996): the night as locus of violence in La noche más oscura, the nocturnal animal in the urban barbarism in Como una diosa and the nocturnal voices that transit in the world narrated in El pozo.

description: The study was initiated to evaluate groundwater quality in the post-monsoon season (2021) vis a vis chemistry and hydrochemical facies, assessment of probabilistic health risks posed by F− and Fe and quality appraisal of regional groundwater for irrigation in Kumarganj community development block. As per potable water quality standards of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), 50% and 13.3% of water samples were found to be unsafe due to F− and Fe, respectively. Fluoride concentration ranged from 0.1 to 3.62 mg l−1 (mean, 1.22 mg l−1). The northern, north-western and south-eastern parts of the block were found to have F− concentrations above the permissible safe limit of 1.0 mg F l−1 while a small area within southern region had >1 mg l−1 Fe. Factor analysis showed that four factors contributed to 38.21%, 19.67%, 10.62%, and 8.45%, respectively, to water quality. According to the human health risk assessment by Total Hazard Index, all age groups in the study area were at risk of exposure, in the order of THIchildren > THIinfant > THIadult due to consumption of excessive F− and Fe. This assessment was consistent with the results of probabilistic health risk assessment undertaken by Monte Carlo simulation (5000 trials) wherein maximum risk of 4.14 and 0.17 at 95th percentile to children was attributable to F− and Fe, respectively.

description: Raman spectroscopy is an effective tool for microplastic analysis, but its performance can be limited by weak signals and surface interference. This study aims to enhance derived Raman spectra through chemical surface treatments. Fresh and biofouled plastic debris samples, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), were treated overnight with various chemical solutions: 30% H2O2, 5% NaOCl, 5% HCl, and a sequential treatment of 5% HCl followed by 5% NaOCl (HCl:NaOCl). Stereo microscope examinations revealed that single-solution treatments removed some stains but left others behind, while complete stain removal was achieved with the HCl:NaOCl treatment. The control samples exhibited a high fluorescence issue, but oxidation pretreatment effectively reduced this, with 5% NaOCl outperforming 30% H2O2. Despite eliminating fluorescence, residual stains still obscured peak signals. In contrast, the sequential HCl:NaOCl treatment removed almost visible stain, resulting in very clean surfaces, minimal background signals, and significantly higher S/N ratios for peak signals. This study demonstrates that dual-mechanism pretreatments – combining acid dissolution and oxidation – are far more effective than single treatments, benefiting applications that require clean plastic samples for subsequent operations.

description: Nearly all electronic devices utilise Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), which contribute significantly to the generation of electronic waste (e-waste). They are rich in metal content, with copper being present in higher percentages. In this work, a simple, efficient and environment-friendly pre-concentration technique was developed, using hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent as an extractant in vortex-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction. This pre-concentration technique is coupled with spectrophotometry for the determination of copper in PCBs. The complexing agent, sodium diethyl di-thiocarbamate (DDTC), and copper formed a complex in the 2–3 pH range. The Cu-DDTC complex was vortexed for 1 min at 2800 rpm to extract in hydrophobic DES. The sediment was analysed using a UV–Visible spectrophotometer at λ max 435 nm. The optimisation parameters, including pH, extraction solvent selection and its volume, concentration and volume of chelating agent, interference of forein ios, etc., have been assessed. Analytical figures of merit such as limit of detection (1.98 μg/L), limit of quantification (5.9 μg/L), relative standard deviation (3.4%) and enrichment factor (10) have been obtained under optimal experimental conditions. The method was validated by a certified copper solution and applied successfully to determine copper in waste PCBs of personal computers.

description: Phthalate esters (PAEs) are used to increase the plasticity in plastic packaging materials like plastic containers and beverage bottles. These are recognised as endocrine disruptors and pose potential health risks to consumers. So this study investigated the extent of phthalate exposure levels originating from plastic bottles across different brands of juice samples (n = 225), collected from local markets in Jamshoro, Sindh, Pakistan, encompassing (citrus, berry mixed, stone fruit, and fleshy fruit juices). For that purpose, plastic bottles were initially investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), followed by analysis of leached PAEs in juices by Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detection (GC-FID) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). FTIR findings confirmed the presence of PAEs in plastic bottles through the assessment of two different peaks at 1713 cm−1 (aromatic esters) and 722 cm−1 (C-H wagging). DSC results revealed different glass transition (Tg) and melting temperature (Tm) for amorphous bottles. The study found that PAE concentration varied significantly (p < 0.05) across different juices, with mixed fruit juices exhibiting the highest concentration (71.93 µg/L), followed by strawberry (31.35 µg/L), citrus fruit (20.64 µg/L), and fleshy fruit juices (18.61 µg/L). GC-MS analysis confirmed the occurrence of several PAEs including DPrP, DiBP, DPeP, DCHP, BBP, DEHP, and DOP. The estimated daily intake (EDI) of PAEs was found in the range of 0.087–0.543 µg/kg-bw in all analysed samples. Although hazard index calculation indicated that all juices were within safe limits (HI < 1). However, it is noteworthy that DEHP exhibited higher values of carcinogenic in one specific juice brand of mixed fruit juice (BM-1), with a risk factor of 4.5 × 10−3.

description: Validation of a High-Resolution Orbitrap (HR-Orbitrap) method for the simultaneous identification, confirmation, and quantification of seven 5-Nitroimidazoles (5-NDZs) in meat and casing for the first time to our knowledge. The method was validated under Commission Decision (CD) 2002/657/EC and satisfied its requirements for the Minimum Method Performance Requirements (MMPRs) of 1 µg/kg for these Compounds in meat and casing. The samples were extracted using a modified QuEChERS method. The analyte recovery ranging 75.4–104.8% for meat and 72.44–103.53% for casing, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of ≤ 19.0% for meat and ≤ 19.83% for casing. The decision limits (CCα) encompass values between 0.06 to 0.67 µg/kg and 0.06 to 0.6 µg/kg respectively for meat and casing, while the detection capabilities (CCβ) range from 0.05 to 0.61 µg/kg and 0.05 to 0.57 µg/kg respectively for meat and casing. The method’s accuracy was confirmed by evaluating a proficiency testing sample (PT), and the findings demonstrated that the results ranging from 5.15 to 11 µg/kg which located in the acceptable range of Z-scores (from −1.2 to −2), indicating their validity. A total of 100 meats and 100 casing real samples were gathered and subjected to testing for the investigated compounds. None of the samples exhibited any traces of the studied compounds. Additionally, a study was conducted to assess how different cooking methods, affect the behavior of these substances in meat. The study introduced 3 µg/kg of 5-NDZs contamination into the meat samples and examined the subsequent changes. The study observed reduced compound concentrations through different cooking methods, with reductions ranging from −5% to −91%. Boiling was especially effective, showing an expected reduction range of −61% to −100% for ronidazole. This study presents a highly effective method for detecting residues of 5-NDZs in meat and casing. The findings are expected to contribute to the development and regulation of a national monitoring program.

description: This article describes a facile and green one-pot synthetic process of Cu nanoparticles loaded on bentonite composite (5Cu wt.%/bentonite) using the peel extract of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) as a reductant. The 5Cu wt.%/bentonite composite was adopted as a heterogeneous catalyst for the NaBH4-assisted reductive degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) dye. The prepared 5Cu wt.%/bentonite composite demonstrated high catalytic efficiency in reducing MB, achieving almost complete reduction within a reaction duration as short as 60 seconds. Indeed, Cu nanoparticles act as electron relays, facilitating the electron transfer from BH4− anions to MB dye, leading to its conversion into the colourless Leuco-Methylene Blue (LMB). The reduction rate corresponded nicely with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, with the corresponding normalised rate constant (Knor) value computed as 1.48 min−1 mg−1, outperforming numerous previously documented metal-containing catalysts. Remarkably, the catalyst can straightforwardly be reused, with almost constant reduction efficiency observed across 5 successive catalytic cycles. Furthermore, 5Cu wt.%/bentonite was used in another catalytic reduction reaction, involving the reduction of the toxic Cr(VI) to environmentally benign Cr(III) adopting formic acid as a reducing agent under ambient conditions. The 5Cu wt.%/bentonite catalyst not only showed a high Cr(VI) reduction efficiency of 95.5% within 30 min but also outstanding reusability of 93% removal of Cr(VI) following 5 cycles, demonstrating its catalytic versatility. The Cr(VI) reduction mechanism involves the dehydrogenation of formic acid on the catalyst surface, followed by hydrogen transfer converting Cr(VI) into Cr(III). Based on the straightforward and green synthetic strategy, use of cost-effective and readily available raw materials, excellent catalytic activity, catalytic versatility, and outstanding reusability, the 5Cu wt.%/bentonite composite seemed to be an ideal catalyst for the real-world reduction of harmful aqueous pollutants to achieve environmental sustainability.

description: A spectrophotometric method has been developed based on the reaction of the zineb with chloranil. The proposed spectrophotometric method has been applied to the determination of zineb in commercial formulation, grains, fruits, vegetables, and spiked water samples, resulting in high recoveries indicating good accuracy and precision of the method employed. The method has also been validated to study the adsorption of zineb on three Indian soils by using the batch-equilibrium technique. The reaction between zineb and chloranil yielded a yellow-coloured product in the solution and was extracted using acrylonitrile which showed maximum absorbance at 415 nm. The relationship between the absorbance and concentration of the fungicide has been established and found to be linear in the range of 1.10–15.45 μgmL−1. The recoveries of the zineb were in the range 95.73%–98.96% with relative standard deviation (RSD) in the ranges 0.69%–1.05%, thus showing good accuracy and precision of the method. The leaching potential has been evaluated from adsorption data in terms of Ground Water Ubiquity Score (GUS) and the values obtained in the range 1.34–1.40 which are less than the standard value, i.e. 1.8, classifying it as a non-leacher fungicide.
