Temperature dependent Raman spectroscopy and sensing performance of 2D black phosphorus.

Temperature is an important parameter to be monitored in new wearable electronic devices. Layered black phosphorus (BP) has inherent good thermal stability and semiconductor properties and has a promising application as a temperature sensing layer. Here, we investigate the temperature sensing properties of BP, using in situ Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction techniques. Flexible sensors are constructed, and temperature response is investigated in the range of 6-38 °C. The prospect application for monitoring the temperature of human body parts is demonstrated. The results show that the BP-based temperature sensors demonstrate good negative temperature coefficient characteristics and display high sensitivity and reproducible sensing performance. The temperature-dependent performance suggests the feasibility of BP as a sensitive layer in a wide temperature range. This work paves the way for exploring new applications of amazing layered materials, such as BP, in wearable electronic devices.

Islamic Parenting Methods to Increase Resilience Capability in Foster Children at Bina Insani Orphanage, Moyudan, Sleman, Indonesia

Orphanages function as a substitute for families to meet children's needs during development. Foster children living in orphanages are vulnerable to resilience. Therefore, appropriate parenting methods are needed for children living in orphanages. This research aims to identify Islamic parenting methods to increase the resilience abilities of foster children because children living in orphanages are vulnerable to this. This research also analyzes the supporting and inhibiting factors in implementing Islamic parenting methods to increase the resilience abilities of foster children. This qualitative research used a descriptive approach. The data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The validity of data was tested through triangulation of techniques and sources. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive analysis, namely reducing data, presenting data, and concluding data. The location of this research was at the Bina Insani Orphanage in Moyudan, Sleman. The respondents of this study were 3 caregivers and 4 foster children. This research found that: 1) Islamic parenting methods to improve the resilience abilities of foster children consist of the example method, habituation method, advice method, and attention method. 2) Supporting factors in implementing Islamic parenting methods to increase the resilience abilities of foster children consist of the role of administrators and teachers, the role of donors, and the available facilities and infrastructure. The inhibiting factors are a lack of awareness within the child, a lack of parenting cooperation between parents and guardians of the child and the orphanage, and negative effects from the external environment because foster children go to school outside the orphanage. Islamic parenting methods can be applied in educational institutions in the student's learning process to build good character and resilience. This research can be a basis for educational institutions to establish close collaboration with families in implementing Islamic parenting patterns.

Hybrid genetic optimization for quantum feature map design

Kernel methods are an import class of techniques in machine learning. To be effective, good feature maps are crucial for mapping non-linearly separable input data into a higher dimensional (feature) space, thus allowing the data to be linearly separable in feature space. Previous work has shown that quantum feature map design can be automated for a given dataset using NSGA-II, a genetic algorithm, while both minimizing circuit size and maximizing classification accuracy. However, the evaluation of the accuracy achieved by a candidate feature map is costly. In this work, we demonstrate the suitability of kernel-target alignment as a substitute for accuracy in genetic algorithm-based quantum feature map design. Kernel-target alignment is faster to evaluate than accuracy and does not require some data points to be reserved for its evaluation. To further accelerate the evaluation of genetic fitness, we provide a method to approximate kernel-target alignment. To improve kernel-target alignment and root mean squared error, the final trainable parameters of the generated circuits are further trained using COBYLA to determine whether a hybrid approach applying conventional circuit parameter training can easily complement the genetic structure optimization approach. A total of eight new approaches are compared to the original across nine varied binary classification problems from the UCI machine learning repository, showing that kernel-target alignment and its approximation produce feature map circuits enabling comparable accuracy to the previous work but with larger margins on training data (in excess of 20% larger) that improve further with circuit parameter training.

Feasibility experimental study on plugging leakage in goaf based on two-phase foam

Air leakage in goaf often leads to coal spontaneous combustion (CSC), which not only directly affects the safety production of mines but also causes significant environmental damage. Therefore, effectively sealing the airflow in goaf is crucial for preventing CSC. Feasibility experiments on using two-phase foam to seal air leakage in goaf were conducted, leveraging the advantages of large flow rate, wide diffusion range, and good accumulation characteristics of two-phase foam. The research results indicate that continuous injection of foam into loose media with maintained ventilation can completely seal the air leakage, with the foam capable of withstanding wind pressures of nearly 600 Pa. When the foam is used for one-time sealing with a length of 2 m, it remains effective for 60 min, and the sealing effectiveness improves with longer distances sealed against air leakage. Numerical simulation analysis and field measurements of airflow leakage in mine working faces reveal that effectively sealing the airflow passage in the goaf behind the corner of the return airway is crucial for preventing CSC. Two methods are proposed for sealing external airflow during coal mining: foam injection using a point drilling method near the heading and an incremental buried pipe injection method. Finally, the feasibility of two-phase foam sealing technology for goaf airflow leakage is analyzed from multiple perspectives including sealing effectiveness, practicality, economy, foaming process, and engineering implementation. The research findings provide new insights into goaf sealing technology, aiding in addressing safety and environmental issues caused by spontaneous combustion in goaf areas.

A novel naphthalimide-derived “turn-off” chemosensor for the detection of Cu2+, F- and CN- ions

The development of selective chemosensor for the detection of detrimental analytes in the environment is crucial due to their catastrophic effects. In this study, a novel Schiff base derived from naphthalimide and salicylaldehyde was designed and prepared for the detection of Cu2+, F-, and CN- ions in CH3CN as medium. The chemosensor exhibits a red shift in the presence of Cu2+, F-, and CN- ions accompanied by naked eye color change in the presence of F- and CN- ions. On the other hand, a “turn-off” response was observed in the presence of ion Cu2+, F-, and CN- ions in the fluorescent spectrum. The good anti-interference characteristics, strong binding, and low limit of detection (LOD) of the chemosensor revealed its sensitivity against Cu2+, F-, and CN- ions i.e. 1.25 × 10-5 M, 1.07 × 10-6 M, and 0.98 × 10-6 M, respectively. The binding ratio (1:1) was determined by Job's plot between the chemosensor and ions. In addition, the binding of ions with the chemosensor was proposed which was further supported by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and IR spectrum data.

Identification of natural inhibitors targeting Trehalase of Anopheles funestus in the management of malaria: A Biocomputational assessment.

Anopheles funestus is playing an increasingly important role in malaria transmission in sub-Saharan Africa. Trehalase, an enzyme required for trehalose breakdown, is important for mosquito flight and stress adaptation. Hence, its inhibition has emerged as a promising malaria management strategy. A collection of 1900 natural compounds from the ZINC database were screened against the 3D modeled structure of the A. funestus trehalase protein using in-silico tools. ADMET-AI, a web-based platform, was used to predict the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) properties of the selected compounds. Here in this study, we report 5 natural compounds namely, ZINC00488388, ZINC00488525, ZINC00488566, ZINC00488304, and ZINC00488456 demonstrated strong binding affinity to the trehalase protein. These compounds interacted with critical residues of the trehalase protein and exhibited good drug-like characteristics. These compounds show promise as trehalase protein inhibitors for malaria management. Nonetheless, additional experimental studies are required to optimize these compounds as potential trehalase inhibitors.

Mechanical Properties, Workability, and Experiments of Reinforced Composite Beams with Alternative Binder and Aggregate

Arguably the most important element in the sustainability of concrete development is the discovery of an optimal sustainable binder and substitution for the increasingly depleted reserves of natural aggregates. Considerable interest has been shown in alkali-activated materials, which possess good characteristics and could be considered environmentally friendly because of their use of secondary materials in production. The aim of this study was the determination of the mechanical properties of three different mixtures based on the same locally accessible raw materials. The reference mixture contained Portland cement, the second mix contained a finely ground granulated blast furnace slag instead of cement, and the third mixture contained a portion of light artificial aggregate. The experiments focused on the testing and mutual comparison of the processability of the fresh mixture and mechanical characteristics (like compressive and flexural strength, as well as resistance to high temperatures and surface layer tear strength tests). Reinforced concrete beams without shear reinforcement and with three levels of reinforcement were also tested with a three-point bend test. The results show that, overall, the mechanical properties of all the tested mixtures were similar, but each had its own disadvantages. For example, the blast furnace slag-based mixture had a more vulnerable surface layer or a debatable loss of bulk density in the light aggregate mix at the expense of the mechanical properties. One of the main results of the research is that it was possible to technologically produce beams from the alkali-activated concrete (AAC) mixture. Then, the performed beam experiments verified the mechanism of damage, collapse, and load capacity. The obtained results are essential because they present the use of AAC not only in laboratory conditions but also for building elements. In beams without shear reinforcement, the typical tensile cracks caused by bending and shear cracks appeared under loading, where their character was affected depending on the degree of beam reinforcement and loading.

Selective extraction of captafol from blood and river water samples using molecularly imprinted polymers

In this study, the captafol molecularly imprinted polymers were first prepared using the precipitation polymerization method, using captafol as the template molecule and acrylamide (Am) as the functional monomer. The synthesized polymers have spherical particles with a loose, porous surface, as determined through scanning electron microscopy. The polymer was analyzed using BET, Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The polymers demonstrated a high adsorption efficiency of up to 90 % and specific recognition ability towards captafol, based on the results of the dynamic and static adsorption assays. The factors affecting MIPs’ binding efficiency were carefully optimized. Studies were established to analyze captafol in water and human blood serum samples under optimal conditions. Through adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, and selectivity tests, this suggested approach demonstrated good MIP adsorption characteristics for captafol. The resulting Cap-MIPs showed notable selectivity for captafol as compared to folpet, high adsorption capacity (90 %), and good reusability, with the ability to reach adsorption equilibrium in less than 60 min. The results showed that the Cap-MIPs strategy exhibited high selectivity, good consistency, and high sensitivity, making it an efficient way to enrich and recognize captafol in a complex blood serum matrix.

ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ РЫЖИКОВОЙ МУКИ ДЛЯ ПРОИЗВОДСТВА МУЧНЫХ КОНДИТЕРСКИХ ИЗДЕЛИЙ

The purpose of the study is to determine the possibility of using camelina flour obtained from camelina cake for the production of flour confectionery products. Tasks: to grind the original camelina cake into camelina flour and camelina bran; to develop a recipe for flour confectionery products gingerbread and cake health with the addition of 5 to 20 % camelina flour instead of premium wheat baking flour; to conduct an organoleptic assessment and determine the physico-chemical quality indicators of gingerbread and health cakes made from wheat-camelina flour of various ratios. The object of study is camelina flour. A recipe has been developed for a Stolichny type cake and gingerbread made from whole-ground wheat and camelina flour of various ratios with premium-grade wheat baking flour. The parameters and modes for preparing flour confectionery products in the form of cakes and gingerbread have been established. Adding camelina flour to the recipe for both cakes and gingerbread leads to an increase in humidity, alkalinity and the mass fraction of fat in the finished products. The most optimal ratio of premium wheat flour and camelina flour for the production of products is the ratio of 9 : 1, at which the finished products have the most attractive presentation and good organoleptic characteristics. Compared to control samples of flour confectionery made from premium wheat flour, in products made from wheat-camelina flour there is an increase in the content of protein, fats, including polyunsaturated fatty acids, essential amino acids, including limiting ones. Based on the results of research, we can recommend the use of a composite flour mixture of premium wheat flour and camelina flour for the production of flour confectionery products of increased nutritional value at existing confectionery enterprises.

Research on driving technology of radio‐over‐fiber (ROF) compact optical transmitter module

AbstractIn response to the problems of communication capacity and spectrum resource constraints, radio over fiber (ROF) technology has gained widespread adoption, and the quality and performance of the optical transmitter module also directly affect the transmission of the link. This paper presents the design of a direct modulation optical transmitter module in the frequency band ranging from 2.6 kHz to 206.8 MHz using OPA690 broadband voltage feedback op‐amp. The module features a tunable bias voltage range from 0 to 5 V to accommodate different threshold voltages for modulation power supply. It offers a gain of 12 dB and a signal‐to‐noise ratio exceeding 50 dB while demonstrating excellent stability, high signal purity, good spectral response characteristics, and compact size advantages. Based on this design, we further optimized the system circuit by adding a fourth‐order Butterworth filter structure, reducing the lower cut‐off frequency to about 500 Hz, increasing the gain by 6 dB, reducing the return loss to −26.91 dB, and the module's signal‐to‐noise ratio exceeding 90 dB. This optimization scheme improves the stability and signal purity of the optical transmitter module and improves the spectral response characteristics. In this paper, Multisim is used to analyze and verify the proposed optical transmitter circuit. In addition, a complete link experiment was carried out using an optical receiving module designed in the same laboratory to verify the feasibility of our proposed module.

A flexible hinge FBG accelerometer based on PSO algorithm

We propose a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) accelerometer based on a compound hinge structure, which takes into account the motion accuracy and the rotational range, combining the advantages of elliptical and circular hinges. According to the theoretical formulas for the resonant frequency and sensitivity of the sensor, we establish an optimization model for the sensor and optimize the key structural parameters using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. We set up a vibration experimental platform to test the performance of the sensor. The results show that the resonant frequency is approximately 512 Hz, the sensitivity is 116 pm/g, the linearity is above 0.999, and the cross sensitivity is only 4.1 %. Additionally, the figure of merit is up to 59392 pm·Hz/g, which indicates that this sensor has good comprehensive characteristics after optimization by the PSO algorithm.

Enhanced performance of hydrothermally synthesized zinc vanadium oxide nanoparticles for supercapacitor and photocatalytic applications

Zinc(II) vanadium oxide (Zn2V2O7) nanoparticles (ZVONPs) were successfully synthesized by the hydrothermal technique. The sample's structure and morphology were examined by using the XRD and FESEM techniques. HRTEM microscopic analysis revealed the presence of tiniest particles which were self-assembled to create sphere-like morphology. The ZVONPs were evaluated using various electrochemical methods. ZVONPs showed good supercapacitor characteristics. The photocatalytic tests conducted to degrade the industrial pollutant Fast Orange Red (F-OR) dye show that a 98.4 % decolorization rate was attained after 120 min of UV light irradiation. The specific capacitance value for ZVONPs was found to be 364 Fg-1, with a retention rate of about 87 % after 2500 cycles. These aspects offers better insight into the material's properties and encourage the development of nanoparticles for energy and environmental applications.

Driyarkara's Educational Thought and Its Relevance to Peace Education

Indonesian society is prone to various conflicts, both political and social. These conflicts not only cause material losses but also claim lives. Therefore, a step is needed to prepare society to face conflicts non-violently, namely through peace education. This paper examines Driyarkara's thoughts on education, which have relevance to peace education. This research uses a library research method and is analyzed using a content analysis method. The primary purpose of education for Driyarkara is to form young people into perfect human beings who not only have good intellect but also good character and morals and are able to live peacefully and harmoniously with other humans. To achieve a peaceful and harmonious personality, education must teach young people to be culturally literate, meaning to know their own culture and understand the cultures of others. Another step that must be taken is to include peace values in every learning process, including every subject, such as social, exact, and language subjects. For Driyarkara, equipping young people with knowledge of culture and peace will create a tolerant younger generation who are positive and able to find solutions to any conflicts that arise.

Deciphering the therapeutic actions of Brenania brieyi (Rubiaceae) fractions on oxidoinflammatory anomalies

A decline in the antioxidant network during the inflammatory response plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. We designed this study to decipher the therapeutic efficacy of Brenania brieyi in reducing oxidative stress caused by the inflammatory response to cotton pellets. Graded doses of methanol and chloroform fractions of B. brieyi (MFBB and CFBB) and indomethacin were administered to Wistar rats for seven days after implanting sterilised cotton pellets (20 mg). Thereafter, biochemical indices of oxidative stress were determined using blood samples taken through cardiac puncture. Furthermore, molecular interactions, drug-likeness, and toxicity features of B. brieyi phytochemicals were also assessed. Compared with the untreated group, the groups treated with MFBB and CFBB had a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in granuloma tissue weight and MDA levels while increasing glutathione levels, SOD, and CAT activities. In addition, a substantial increase in inflammatory-induced changes in antioxidant nutrients, together with a decline in liver enzymes, was obtained in the treated groups. The docking tests revealed that the top-scoring phytoconstituents of B. brieyi, n-hexadecanoic acid, and 9-octadecanoic acid interacted well with catalase, having docking scores of -6.19 and -7.58 kcal/mol, respectively. Moreover, the hits had good oral drug-likeness features and a safe toxicity profile. The findings of the study provide evidence that B. brieyi has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, suggesting that it could be used as an alternative therapy to regulate oxidative stress-related diseases.

Subgroups of relational job characteristics and their differences in turnover intention and subjective well-being among nurses: a latent profile analysis

ObjectiveRelational job characteristics include perceived social worth and perceived social influence. Good relational job characteristics mean that nurses have high prosocial behavior. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential profile of nurses’ relational job characteristics, influencing factors and their differences in turnover intention and subjective well-being, thus finding the most suitable clinical relationship job characteristics.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1013 clinical nurses using the general demographic data questionnaire, Relational Job Characteristics scale, Turnover Intention Questionnaire and Campbell index of well-being. A latent profile analysis was performed to explore relational job characteristics latent profiles. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the predictors of profile membership, and a one-way analysis of variance was applied to compare the turnover intention and subjective well-being in each latent profile.ResultsFive latent profiles were identified and labeled ‘High prosocial job characteristics’ profile (20.7%), ‘Moderate prosocial job characteristics’ profile (41.7%), ‘High social worth-low social impact perceived’ profile (6.3%), ‘Low social worth‐high social impact perceived’ profile (18.8%) and ‘Low prosocial job characteristics’ profile (12.5%). Factors affecting the different types of nurse relationship job characteristics include age, marital status, hospital department, nursing years, professional title and hospital position. Among them, chief nurse, nurses with more than 20 years of nursing experience and obstetrics and gynecology nurses were more likely to be ‘high prosocial job characteristics’ profile. The turnover intention of nurses in ‘high prosocial job characteristics’ profile was significantly lower than that of other profiles, and their subjective well-being was significantly higher than that of other profiles.ConclusionImproving nurses’ perception of social worth and social impact on clinical work can improve nurses’ prosocial behavior and subjective well-being, and reduce their turnover intention. Nursing managers or policy makers can formulate targeted intervention measures according to the influencing factors of potential profiles.

Mechanism analysis and application of multi-dimensional single potential well stochastic resonance system

Currently, the focus of stochastic resonance (SR) research is primarily on bistable systems, and classical bistable SR systems have the problems of low dimension, inconvenient parameter adjustment, and high threshold for SR effects. In this paper, based on the classic bistable system, a class of multi-dimensional single potential well SR systems without transition threshold is proposed and applied to signal processing. Firstly, the mechanism of double potential well SR and single potential well SR is studied. On this basis, a kind of multi-dimensional single potential well SR system is defined and its theoretical conditions are analyzed. Then a specific four-dimensional single potential well SR system is constructed, and the dynamics of the system is analyzed. The gain range and the approximate relationship between the system input and the four-dimensional output are derived. Finally, the four-dimensional single potential well SR system is applied to the processing of various signals. The experimental results show that the constructed system has good noise reduction and feature amplification effects on noisy signals through the advantages of multi-dimensional output, and can be used to highlight the fault feature frequency in bearing fault signals.
