Gaza, o conflito Israel-Palestina e Lawfare: limitações na capacidade do Direito Internacional regular os conflitos armados
Creators: name: Santos Neves, Miguel
Publisher: name: JURISMAT
Year: 2024

description: Resumo: O artigo aborda o conflito Israel-Palestina e analisa a dinâmica da sua transformação nas últimas duas décadas na perspectiva da interação entre Lawfare e warfare com vista a contribuir para uma maior compreensão da sua interação mas também da forma como influencia o desenvolvimento dos conflitos armados e interfere na efectividade da respectiva regulação. O conflito Israel-Palestina constitui um exemplo de ampla e persistente violação em grande escala do Direito Internacional mas também um caso paradigmático do recurso à Lawfare por ambas as partes do conflito, como meio não-militar da Estratégia com vista a atingir objectivos políticos essenciais em alternativa à warfare. O recurso à Lawfare tem impacto relevante na atual fase de high-level warfare iniciada em 7.10.2023 com o ataque terrorista do Hamas, contribuindo para potenciar os níveis de violações do DIH e DIDH por ambas as partes e neutralizar/enfraquecer a pressão internacional, exacerbando os níveis de violência contra a população de Gaza e violações em massa de direitos humanos geradores de uma situação de catástrofe humanitária. A inexistência do direito de legítima defesa de Israel nos termos do art. 51º da Carta, por não verificação dos pressupostos, assim como a violação do DIH e do DIDH, designadamente dos princípios da proporcionalidade e da distinção, implica que a ação de Israel em Gaza constitui um acto ilícito que faz incorrer o Estado em responsabilidade internacional implicando o consequente dever de reparação, designadamente de indemnização de todos os danos causados em Gaza, e consequências nãojuridicas envolvendo a perda de reputação internacional que alimenta o crescente isolamento internacional de Israel. A análise revela que a relação entre Lawfare e warfare tende a ser mais complexa do que a relação de substituição assumida na literatura, sendo possível identificar diferentes padrões de interação, e conclui que o impacto da Lawfare sobre a regulação dos conflitos armados é negativo na medida em que reforça a tendência estrutural de fragmentação do Direito Internacional e assume uma lógica de “rule by law” instrumento do poder, em detrimento da perspectiva de “rule of law” de limitação do poder, reduzindo a efectividade da regulação. Por outro lado, gera um obstáculo significativo no esforço de revitalizar um processo de “paz positiva” de longo prazo que requer novos protagonistas, que não os radicais Hamas e Netanyahu e a extrema-direita israelita, uma nova mediação internacional credível e imparcial e uma sustentada, organizada e coordenada pressão da opinião pública internacional.

Die Transformation der Revolution. Politische Veränderungen in China nach Mao Zedong
Creators: name: Vetter, Horst F.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: This essay is a disquisition into the new policy advanced by the Chinese leadership around Hua Guofeng and Deng Xiaoping. Attention is focused on 'superstructural' phenomena. After giving an introduction to the political conditions of post Maoist China, the author first deals with the dismantlement of the "Mao Zedong-Ideas". Drawing a comparison with the Maoist era, he then describes and analyses the new leadership's educational policy as well as the "social spirit" of the present (eg. material incentives for the masses, the replacement of the Maoist cadre by functional administrators, the growing importance of specialists etc.). It is shown how fundamentally political practice of today is departing from the revolutionary Maoism of the past. The main thesis put forward in the essay: In present day China we witness the primateship of politics yielding to that of productivity. All forces are directed towards the ambitious programme of the "Four Modernizations"; - ideological pledges are being abandoned. Drawing on an ample source material, the author demonstrates how this political reversal is affecting the 'superstructural' sphere. He concludes by giving a prospect for possible social consequences of the present Chinese policy, for social and functional differentiation and the dawn of a new hierarchy.

Year: 2024

description: Resumo: Os avanços tecnológicos ao longo das últimas décadas trouxeram alterações societárias profundas e o Direito do Trabalho não foi uma exceção a este fenómeno. Daqui, resulta uma transfiguração do exercício dos direitos gerais de iniciativa económica privada e liberdade de empresa, especialmente, no que diz respeito ao poder de vigilância e controlo do trabalhador. Aqui chegados, através de uma análise legal, doutrinal e jurisprudencial importa perceber onde reside o ponto de equilíbrio de uma utilização legítima dos sistemas de geolocalização pela entidade empregadora tendo em conta por um lado, a forte capacidade destes meios para restringir os direitos individuais dos trabalhadores e, por outro, as vantagens a diversos domínios que estes podem trazer à relação laboral.

Der Maoismus. Anmerkungen zum maoistischen Modell der Gesellschaft
Creators: name: Hoffmann, Rainer
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: Mao Tse-tung is seen in the historical context of the Chinese Revolution. As this was mainly a peasant rebellion, his special relationship with the aspirations of the rural masses is emphasized. The whole problem of urban-rural development is given in a detailed analysis. Based on the socio-economic characteristics of Maoism the question of party leadership via mass-line politics is outlined. The Maoist conception of 'controlled social conflict' stands in the center of this discussion. As Mao's main concern since the failure of the Great Leap Forward was with the cultivation of 'revolutionary successors', the youth-problem in the postrevolutionary climate of the sixties has been given special consideration. Emphasis is laid on the Cultural Revolution and Mao's specific brand of historical pessimism which was behind this tremendous decision to attack the vested state and party interests. A final chapter deals with the failure of Maoism and the anti-maoist policy of the new Chinese leadership under Hua Kuo-feng and Teng Hsiao-p'ing.

Changing Status of Chinese in the Philippines

name: Houston, Charles D.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: The martial law regime of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos has drastically changed the status of ethnic Chinese living in the Philippines. This has been accomplished by a decree which makes naturalization as a Filipino citizen a simple and inexpensive process. Naturalization enables persons of Chinese ancestry to escape discriminatory legislation directed against aliens and to become full participants in Philippine economic activities. The Chinese in the Philippines are a commercial middle class group who have been targets for discriminatory legislation which constantly increased in severity from the end of American control in 1946 until the naturalization decree by President Marcos in 1975. Anti-Chinese feeling is still high in the general population and such a decree could only have been issued by a dictatorial government; however, there are many factors working toward assimilation and the naturalization decree may mark a change of policy which will survive the end of the Marcos regime.

title: Outer, inner and planar polarity in the Arabidopsis root
Creators: name: Nakamura, Moritaka
name: Grebe, Markus
Publisher: name: Universität Potsdam
Year: 2020

description: Plant roots control uptake of water and nutrients and cope with environmental challenges. The root epidermis provides the first selective interface for nutrient absorption, while the endodermis produces the main apoplastic diffusion barrier in the form of a structure called the Casparian strip. The positioning of root hairs on epidermal cells, and of the Casparian strip around endodermal cells, requires asymmetries along cellular axes (cell polarity). Cell polarity is termed planar polarity, when coordinated within the plane of a given tissue layer. Here, we review recent molecular advances towards understanding both the polar positioning of the proteo-lipid membrane domain instructing root hair initiation, and the cytoskeletal, trafficking and polar tethering requirements of proteins at outer or inner plasma membrane domains. Finally, we highlight progress towards understanding mechanisms of Casparian strip formation and underlying endodermal cell polarity.

Starting Cooperative Development in Afghanistan
Creators: name: Baldus, Rolf D.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: Before 1973 there were only a few cooperative societies existing in Afghanistan. But with the end of the monarchy, the new republican government assigned importance to the establishment of agricultural cooperatives. Consequently the number of cooperatives rose from 6 in 1973 to 124 in early 1978. Most of these cooperatives are agricultural multipurpose societies, a type which is the most difficult to manage but certainly has the greatest potential to promote the economies and households of members. Membership has increased to more than 15 000 persons and total paid-up share capital makes up for about 14 Mill. Afs. This is a remarkable success in mere numerical terms, taking into account the short time of development. However, a deeper analysis of the existing societies reveals that their range of activities is still very limited. The main activity of the cooperatives is to act as outlets of productive credits to members. Necessary funds are made available by the Agricultural Development Bank. The possibility to receive credit is still the main incentive for farmers to join the societies. Repayment rates of cooperative members are clearly higher than the corresponding rates of non-members who receive credit through the bank under similar conditions. The main activities in the field of marketing are the collection and export of raisins to the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China and the marketing of cotton for para-statal companies. The benefits from cooperative marketing of raisins are not equally shared among all members, as only a minority, usually consisting of the upper strata of members, takes part in marketing. Had the government not taken the initiative, there would only be a few cooperatives existing by now. The responsible "Department for Cooperative Development" has an agent in every cooperative, who manages the society as long as members are not able to employ their own staff. There is a manifest dependency of the cooperatives and their members on this personnel and on the government. This endangers the development of the societies into autonomous and self-reliant self-help-organizations. Very little has been done for the "rural poor" in Afghanistan up to now. If the government sincerely aims at concentrating its efforts on this group which constitutes the vast majority of the people in the country, development of appropriate cooperatives and other types of self-help-organizations must be in the centre of the national development strategy.

The Impact of Tourism on the Hill Tribes of Northern Thailand
Creators: name: Cohen, Erik
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: The paper presents the preliminary results of a comparative study of the impact of tourism on the hill tribe villages in northern Thailand. After a review of the structure of the tourist industry in the region, the impact of tourism on five villages is examined in detail. Though some villages have been "spoilt" by tourism, tourism has not as yet had any markedly disruptive effects on the economic and social life of the villagers, but neither has it been of much benefit to them. Considerable differences between villages have been discovered, particularly a tendency towards the bifurcation of social life and the emergence of "tourist space" in the most touristic of the villages. The factors accounting for the differences and the future prospects of tourism in the villages are discussed in conclusion.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This study investigated the application of silicon carbide (SiC) particles as a reinforcing phase in friction stirprocessing (FSP) to improve the surface characteristics of Aluminium3103. The objective of the research wasto assess how FSP parameters, including traverse speed, tool rotation speed, and number of passes, affectedthe final microstructure and mechanical behaviour of the treated Aluminium3103 matrix composite. Opticalmicroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction were used to characterise the microstructure,while tensile testing and microhardness measurements were used to evaluate the mechanical performance. The findings showed significant grain refinement, the removal of casting flaws, and uniform dispersion of SiCparticles inside the stir zone. The Aluminium3103 substrate's microhardness and tensile strength significantlyincreased as a result of these microstructural changes. This study demonstrates how well FSP works to createAluminium3103 matrix composites with excellent mechanical and surface qualities.

description: In assessing adolescent behavior difficulties, parents, teachers, and the adolescents themselves are key informants. However, substantial disagreement has been found between informants. Specifically, children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) tend to overestimate their competencies, also known as “positive (illusionary) bias.” This study compared parent, teacher, and adolescent ratings of ADHD and other behavioral symptoms in a sample of 114 adolescents with ADHD. Further, the effect of cross-informant disagreement (CID) on treatment outcomes was investigated in a subsample of 54 adolescents who had undergone a training and coaching intervention. Overall, there was moderate agreement among informants. Parent and adolescent ratings were more strongly correlated with each other than with teacher ratings. The strongest discrepancy was found between teacher and adolescent ratings on prosocial behavior. This discrepancy explained 12% of the variance in parent-rated ADHD symptom severity after the intervention. The treatment was less effective in participants with high teacher-adolescent disagreement on prosocial behavior (d = 0.41) than with low disagreement (d = 0.98). These findings suggest that professionals working with adolescents with ADHD should consider multiple sources of information before initiating treatment and pay attention to cross-informant disagreements because these may indicate a risk of diminished treatment effects.

description: Background Multi-component cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is performed to achieve an improved prognosis, superior health-related quality of life (HRQL) and occupational resumption through the management of cardiovascular risk factors, as well as improvement of physical performance and patients’ subjective health. Out of a multitude of variables gathered at CR admission and discharge, we aimed to identify predictors of returning to work (RTW) and HRQL 6 months after CR. Design Prospective observational multi-centre study, enrolment in CR between 05/2017 and 05/2018. Method Besides general data (e.g. age, sex, diagnoses), parameters of risk factor management (e.g. smoking, hypertension), physical performance (e.g. maximum exercise capacity, endurance training load, 6-min walking distance) and patient-reported outcome measures (e.g. depression, anxiety, HRQL, subjective well-being, somatic and mental health, pain, lifestyle change motivation, general self-efficacy, pension desire and self-assessment of the occupational prognosis using several questionnaires) were documented at CR admission and discharge. These variables (at both measurement times and as changes during CR) were analysed using multiple linear regression models regarding their predictive value for RTW status and HRQL (SF-12) six months after CR. Results Out of 1262 patients (54±7 years, 77% men), 864 patients (69%) returned to work. Predictors of failed RTW were primarily the desire to receive pension (OR = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.22–0.50) and negative self-assessed occupational prognosis (OR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.24–0.48) at CR discharge, acute coronary syndrome (OR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.47–0.88) and comorbid heart failure (OR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.30–0.87). High educational level, stress at work and physical and mental HRQL were associated with successful RTW. HRQL was determined predominantly by patient-reported outcome measures (e.g. pension desire, self-assessed health prognosis, anxiety, physical/mental HRQL/health, stress, well-being and self-efficacy) rather than by clinical parameters or physical performance. Conclusion Patient-reported outcome measures predominantly influenced return to work and HRQL in patients with heart disease. Therefore, the multi-component CR approach focussing on psychosocial support is crucial for subjective health prognosis and occupational resumption.

Plasticity of brain in normal adult some earth-dwelling Anamia and terrestrial Amniota: further review on the trend of seasonal environmental influence on encephalic proliferation, as revealed by immunohistochemistry

Publisher: name: Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology
Year: 2019

description: The immunohistochemical evidence provided by the present authors about the persistence of latent natural brain proliferative potentially in adult vertebrate brain and its response to cyclic seasonal environmental fluctuations (temperature, photoperiod) has been reviewed. These stimuli elicit an otherwise hidden mitotic activity thanks to stem cells still present especially in less high vertebrates like Triturus carnifex, Rana bergeri, Podarcis sicula. The evidence gathered from specimens caught in the wild in spring, summer and autumn has been compared with previous evidence on specimens of newts, frogs and lizards. Signs of proliferation were mainly observed in the typical sites (olfactory bulbs/peduncles, telencephalic hemispheres) occupied by cells in mitotic stand-by. The findings have shown increasing labelling from spring to summer to autumn with minor differences among species, and have confirmed that in adulthood the proliferative therefore the reparative and even the regenerative power of brain cells is highest in urodela (the vertebrates best equipped with quiescent cells), intermediate in anura and lowest in lacertilian Reptiles.

Relationships between seasonal (spring, summer, autumnal) thermal variations and cell proliferation in heterothermic vertebrates, as revealed by PCNA expression in the brain of adult Podarcis sicula
Creators: name: Margotta, Vito

Publisher: name: Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology
Year: 2019

description: Among the literature reports on the possible effects of the seasonal cycle, made of temperature and photoperiod variations, on spontaneous proliferation in the brain of adult fresh water, earth-dwelling Anamnia and heterothermic Amniota, one autoradiographic study was conducted on experimentally brain injured and normal Rana esculenta, collected in the wild in spring and in autumn, and another immunohistochemical study was conducted on brain injured Podarcis hispanica caught in nature in summer. To expand that knowledge an immunohistochemical investigation has been performed on brain of normal adult Podarcis sicula captured in the wild in spring, summer and autumn with the aim to analyse exclusively the seasonal (temperature and photoperiodic) cycle impact on latent spontaneous proliferation. Cycling cells have been labeled for PCNA. The results show that the cycling cells are rare in spring, in intermediate numbers in summer and frequent in autumn. Therefore environmental conditions affect the proliferative capacity of the cells in stand-by, that are typically mainly positioned in some telencephalic areas: the zonae germinativae latero-dorsales, medio-dorsales and ventrales. An investigation on the winter aspect was purposely omitted, since such lack of cycling cells in winter was already known from previous literature reports. With the present findings the time course of proliferation of putative brain stem cells - as demonstrated by immunolabeling for PCNA - is assessed in lizard for the whole year.

Südostasien und die Industrienationen im Lichte der politischen Geographie

Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: Starting from a series of "General Viewpoints", i. e. a catalogue of basic statements on the role and position of Political Geography as an empirical discipline, the author turns to some topics of special significance to the interrelations between Southeast Asia and the powers of the industrialized world. Thus, under the heading "Old and New Power-Centres in Change" the functional consequences of post-colonial power regrouping are shortly discussed, leading to the (theoretical) conclusion that, as a rule, the old "power-centres" must expect a change for the worse whilst the new ones can count on the contrary, be it from social or the economic view. This is often denied by expert interpretations of what is commonly called "The Problem of Population Explosion", especially when it comes to aspects of poverty. Closer investigation, however, reveals many weak points and contradictions within the concept of population/poverty growth. There is, e.g. no satisfactory definition of "poverty" as yet. Furthermore, comparison between economic theory and socio-ecological field observations can lead to markedly different conclusions, including last but not least, that "mass pauperization", reducing the average life-spans, is incompatible with "explosive" population growth. In other words, many of the categories and analytic tools of the industrialized world are inadequate for a proper functional understanding of Southeast Asian reality. No less misleading are many commonplace ideas of a growing food gap and of "Development through Industrialization", two topics whose ambivalence can readily be described in geographical terms. "What to do?" This final paragraph briefly depicts a course of basic research that, with the means and measures of Political Geography, can render a more reliable platform for the future cooperation of "developing" and "industrialized" nations. Decision-making, however, cannot be the task of an empirical research discipline; this must be left, now as before, to the politicians.

Revenue Response to Gross Domestic Product in Sri Lanka, 1963-76
Creators: name: Ranaweera, T. W. Y.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2018

description: The degree of response of tax revenue to changes in GDP has a significant bearing on public finance policy in developing countries. It appears that a highly income-elastic revenue structure is an important asset for countries where the scope of financing development expenditures is rather limited. This study gives attention to the response of the revenue structure to changes in GDP in Sri Lanka. The objective is to provide a quantitative assessment of the ability of the Sri Lanka tax structure to generate proportionately higher tax revenues through automatic response and discretionary change. For this purpose, the elasticity and buoyancy of the tax system as a whole and its major components are estimated and analysed for the period 1963-76. Several interesting conclusions emerge from the analysis. First, it turns out that the built-in elasticity of Sri Lanka's tax system has been low during the period under consideration; this points to possibly high rates of tax evasion and deficiencies in tax collection. Second, these negative influences have been somewhat offset by the introduction of discretionary changes especially in the case of indirect taxes; discretionary changes were instrumental in raising the buoyancy of fiscal revenues closer to unity. Third, a significant outcome of the low buoyancy of the tax system has been that the entire burden of financing successive budget deficits has fallen on the non-tax financial sector. These considerations point to the conclusion that in Sri Lanka mobilization of additional resources through tax policy is of paramount importance for future economic development.

description: The contribution in this Fisheries Centre Research Report partly explains why Sierra Leone is losing out, and provides information that would support various initiatives currently being undertaken in Africa to recapture access to the resources for the people. A recent effort by the African Confederation of Artisanal Fishing Organizations (CAOPA) is a good example of such new initiative. Recently, CAOPA voiced its demands to FAO and its members, which included the need to (i) document better the impacts of the various types of exploitation of small pelagic fishes on food security; (ii) recommend to states and regional fisheries organizations to consider the role of small pelagic fishes in the ecosystems and in food security of developing countries populations when they are to make decisions for managing these resources, and allocating access to them; (iii) support initiatives and efforts that will contribute to establishing a concerted management of small pelagic resources in West Africa; (iv) support efforts by fishing communities to actively contribute to the management of these resources in a concerted and sustainable way; and (v) support an aquaculture based on species that do not require feed made from wild fish, that answers to the demands of local and regional markets, and that is not contributing to the unsustainable exploitation of small pelagic stocks. Thus: there is a path out of the present arrangements, and it would benefit most people.

description: In Sri Lanka, on September 1st, 1979, the "Food Stamp Scheme" replaced the old "Rice Ration Scheme" which had been in operation since the Second World War. Under this new scheme an attempt has been made to identify the needy as a target group and to make assistance and relief more selectively available. This "Food Stamp Scheme" is described in detail and interpreted as a demand augmenting basic needs strategy which should be supported by the industrialized countries. Financing these kind of programmes could be the social component of an International Social Market Economy as an alternative to the New International Economic Order.

description: Hohe Wasserverluste in Verteilungssystemen verschärfen die ohnehin defizitäre Versorgungssituation in vielen Regionen der Erde. Um durch zielgerichtete Reduktionsmaßnahmen eine ressourcenschonende Verbesserung der Versorgung zu erzielen, sind im Rahmen eines Wasserverlustmanagements zunächst Art und Ausmaß der aktuellen Verluste zu ermitteln und hinsichtlich des Reduktionspotentials zu bewerten. Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist diesbezüglich die Entwicklung und pilothafte Umsetzung einer angepassten Wasserverlustbilanzierung, welche die typischen Randbedingungen in intermittierend betriebenen Verteilungssystemen berücksichtigt.

description: The formation of copper oxide and zinc oxide mixture in montmorillonite was conducted by the reaction of an aqueous dispersion of Cu2+/Zn2+ exchanged montmorillonite and an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide under hydrothermal treatment. The resulting product was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmittance electron microscopies, as well as UV-visible and photoluminescence spectroscopies. The diffuse reflectance absorption spectra showed the absorption onsets due to copper oxide (885 nm) and zinc oxide (310 and 580 nm) in the product. The adsorption of methylene blue was fitted well by the Langmuir model with the maximum adsorption capacity of 454 mg⋅g−1. The thermodynamic studies revealed that the process is exothermic and spontaneous. The photocatalytic activity of the hybrid was assessed by the degradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. The most active species in the photocatalytic process was hydroxyl radicals. The regenerated copper oxide/zinc oxide-montmorillonite was reused up to 5 cycles, the photodegradation efficiency dropped only 5% (from 94% to 89%), supporting the good stability of the photocatalyst. The result was in agreement with the advantages of the nanocomposite heterostructure and the unique nature of montmorillonite. CuO/ZnO/montmorillonite hybrid prepared through intercalation chemistry exhibited efficient charge transfer of photoexcited carriers under visible light irradiation, resulting in enhanced MB degradation. The efficiency decreased by only 5% after 5 cycles.

description: This work explores collecting performance metrics and leveraging various statistical and machine learning time series predictive models on a memory-intensive application, Inception v3. Trace data collected using nvidia-smi measured GPU utilization and power draw for two runs of Inception3. Experimental results from the statistical and machine learning-based time series predictive algorithms showed that the predictions from statistical-based models were unable to capture the complex changes in the trace data. The Probabilistic TNN model provided the best results for the power draw trace, according to the test evaluation metrics. For the GPU utilization trace, the RNN models produced the most accurate predictions in terms of MSE and MAE.

description: This paper delves diversely into structure, material, safety precautions & economic feasibility of flywheel energy storage system production. This focusses on the fabrication process & associated challenges and it also includes the optimum standards for components to be used in this system. Flywheel energy storage system plays vital role in grid by providing millisecond response to stabilize and enhance the quality of electric grid. These existing flywheels are being compared by their capacity to sink with the grid to enhance the frequency & for many applications purposes. This paper undergoes the safety precautions by selection of casings, controlling the velocity, & controlling the wobbling effect which can lead to efficiency drop or damage the system. And structure is being well defined by verifying material to be used. This system enhances efficiency by controlling air drag & using the specified bearing for usage to control frictional losses. These factors are selected based on the economic feasibility to manufacture a flywheel. In summary, this paper delves into the fabrication techniques of flywheel energy storage systems, emphasizing their practical applications in real-world scenarios and grid systems applications. As a result, the flywheel energy storage systems are possessed to become a crucial component in large-scale energy storage, by its higher efficiency, long cycle life, wide operating temperature range, impressive power, high energy density, and rapid response capabilities which can react within a second to sink with the system.

description: Formaldehyde (FA) is a common pollutant found indoors and outdoors, posing a significant threat to human health. Therefore, developing sensitive and efficient detection methods for FA is essential for environmental monitoring and protecting public health. Herein, we report a naphthalimide-conjugated water-soluble polymeric fluorescent probe for the detection of FA in both aqueous and vapor phases using fluorimetric methods. The aromatic amines present in the side chain of the polymer react with FA, forming a Schiff base (imine bond). This imine formation inhibits the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process within the polymer, leading to a ‘turn-on’ fluorescence under 365 nm UV light. The probe is capable of selectively sensing FA with a detection limit as low as 1.36 nM in aqueous medium. The formation of imine is confirmed for the model reaction between 6-(4-aminophenyl)-2-(4-((4-vinylbenzyl)oxy)phenyl)-1 h-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2 h)-dione and FA by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) titration methods. The mechanism behind ‘turn-on’ FA sensing is investigated using density functional theory (DFT) analysis. Additionally, the study demonstrates a facile approach for covalently attaching the polymer on the surface of a filter paper surface via ultraviolet (UV) light-induced cross-linking. Such polymer attached paper exhibits FA vapor sensing through changes in fluorescence intensity. A naphthalimide-conjugated fluorescent water-soluble polymeric probe is reported for formaldehyde sensing in an aqueous (nanomolar level) phase within a very short time (1 min) with high selectivity. Also, this work demonstrates a facile approach for FA vapor sensing through changes in fluorescence intensity.
