The Influence of Shakarim Kudaiberdiev’s Work on the Economic, Cultural, and Spiritual Development of Kazakhstan in the Late 19th Century and Early 20th Century

The significance and relevance of the issues are predetermined by the fact, that, by the time of Shakarim Kudaiberdiev’s activity, the political and social situation of Kazakhstan in the early 20th century was on the verge of collapse. The main factor that influenced this situation was the policy of spreading illiteracy, people alienated from religion language, and writing. From the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Kazakhstan suffered from the colonial policies of the Russian Empire. Currently Kudaiberdiev writes a work “Catechism of Muslims”. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the consequences of the creative work on the economic and spiritual and cultural development of Kazakhstan. During the analysis, several scientific sources and materials were analyzed, and the following scientific methods were used: structural-functional and dialectical methods, the method of synthesis, logical and comparative analysis, and the method of generalization. During the research, it was proved that in the works of Shakarim Kudaiberdiev the calls to fight against the policy of tsarist Russia and to revive their language, customs, religion, and history were present. The main result of this research is proof that the works of Shakarim Kudaiberdiev had a tremendous impact on the social status, culture, religion, and language of the Kazakh people. His works acted in opposition to Russian policy and encouraged people who were tired of colonial oppression. The research on this issue is actively developed, therefore this work is of practical value for the definition of the role of Shakarim’s creativity during the economic, cultural, social, and political development of Kazakhstan at the end of 19 – the beginning of 20 century.

Continuous synthesis of drug particles via spray drying of emulsions obtained by mechanical emulsification and ouzo effect

In the pharmaceutical field, nanoparticle formulation is an effective approach to improve the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. Spray drying is used for the synthesis of fine drug particles. The particle size obtained by spray drying generally depends on the size of the sprayed droplet. In this study, an emulsion spray drying method is proposed as a novel method for nanoparticle synthesis. Oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsions containing oil-soluble drugs were prepared. Spraying O/W emulsions could produce fine particles with the size of 122 nm. The particles obtained by emulsion spray drying were smaller than those obtained by spray drying without an emulsion. Furthermore, an Ouzo emulsion, which is a self-emulsification method, was investigated to improve the particle yield. The particles obtained by spray drying of the Ouzo emulsion had the size of 0.50 μm, which was smaller than those obtained without the Ouzo emulsion. Moreover, in-vitro dissolution tests were performed to evaluate the solubility of the obtained particles as well as the unprocessed drug powder. The particles obtained via spray drying of the Ouzo emulsions showed the highest dissolution rate. In summary, spray drying of O/W and Ouzo emulsions resulted in the production of fine drug particles.

Interaction of politics and religion as a factor in shaping the religious culture of Kyrgyzstan’s youth

Democracy and frequent changes of government in Kyrgyzstan contribute to the spread of various religious movements in the country. Social processes, political shifts and the spread of radical religious ideas among young people emphasize the relevance of this study. The purpose of this article is to assess the impact of Kyrgyzstan's religious policy on the religious consciousness of contemporary youth. The study used general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization, historical and critical, comparative, dialectical, as well as empirical methods of surveys and questionnaires. The study showed that the religious policy of Kyrgyzstan is characterized by democracy and liberalism, based on the secular nature of the state. Kyrgyzstan is a multi-confessional country, with more than 30 religions. The vast majority of Kyrgyzstan's population are Sunni Muslims, and the second most common religious denomination is Orthodox Christianity. Since 1991, Kyrgyzstan has witnessed a process of Islamization, and non-traditional religious movements, both Islamic and other religious doctrines, have also penetrated and gained popularity in the country. The state's liberal policy in the field of religion facilitates the penetration of non-traditional religious organizations from abroad into Kyrgyzstan. Young people are particularly susceptible to new religious movements. This phenomenon can lead to the spread of radical religious ideas among the youth of Kyrgyzstan. In this regard, the state should pay closer attention to the policy in the field of religion. The practical value of the work is determined by the fact that its results can be useful in further research on this issue.

Surface state modulation of carbon dots for efficient generation of hydrogen peroxide

Electrocatalytic dual electron oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide (2e ORR) is considered a special and sustainable method for on-site continuous production of hydrogen peroxide. Oxygen doped carbon based materials have demonstrated their superiority in the generation of H2O2. However, there is still a lack of direct experimental evidence to determine the true active site on complex carbon surfaces. In this work, we introduce only carboxyl functional groups on the surface of carbon dots by a mild and simple synthesis method to study the specific COOH functional groups on the generation of H2O2. The H2O2 selectivity was correlated with the contents of COOH functional groups. In alkaline environments, the citric acid modified CDs (CA-OCDs) own excellent catalytic ability for 2e ORR, showing a maximum starting potential of 0.829 V (vs. RHE) and a high selectivity of 89.7% over a wide potential range of 0.2-0.7 V (vs. RHE). In actual H2O2 production, the Faraday efficiency (FE) of CA-OCDs can be up to 97%, and the yield achieves 838 mmol gcatalyst-1 h-1. This work provides an effective and simple strategy for designing efficient carbon-based catalysts for sustainable H2O2 electrosynthesis.

Environmental risk mitigation of lambda-cyhalothrin using tryptophan-modified magnetic nanoparticles: A sustainable emergency response strategy

Lambda-cyhalothrin, a synthetic pyrethroid pesticide extensively used in agriculture, poses significant environmental challenges due to its extensive and long-term application. To remediate pollution caused by such organic contaminants, our study introduces a rapid and convenient one-pot synthesis method for creating amino acid-modified magnetic nano-adsorbents (AA-MNPs). Research found that after modification with tryptophan (Trp), the adsorption effectiveness of MNPs on Lambda-cyhalothrin significantly increases. This modification enhances the carbon content of the magnetic nanoparticles, while minimally affecting the magnetic saturation of the MNPs. Trp-MNP exhibited an approximate particle size of 450 nm and a specific surface area of 52.36 m2/g. The isotherm and kinetic experiments were well-fitted to the Liu isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order model, respectively. Thermodynamic assessments suggested that the adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic. Results indicated that the maximum adsorption capacity 144.34 mg g−1 for Trp-MNPs at 298 K, outperforming adsorbents reported in the literature. The half-adsorption time was reduced to 8 min at 298 K with an initial concentration of 60 mg/L. This enhancement was likely influenced by the aromatic ring modification and hydrophobicity of Trp-MNPs. The study explored potential removal mechanisms from a tri-phase perspective, investigating the interactions between the adsorbent, adsorbate, and solvent.

Effects of Cr doping and size reduction on the structural and magnetic properties of α–CoV2O6

We report the effect of Cr-doping on the structural and magnetic properties of powder α–CoV2O6 samples. Samples were synthesized using a wet chemical synthesis method and calcined at temperatures between 350 ℃ and 500 ℃ to promote phase formation. For α–CoV2O6 and Cr-doped α–CoV2O6 samples, a single phase only occurs when the samples are calcined at 450 ℃ and 500 ℃, respectively, as confirmed using powder x-ray diffraction (XRD). Cr-doping results in a compression distortion of the lattice along the c-axis. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements indicate that Cr-doping causes a reduction in particle size and particle agglomeration. Metamagnetism was observed in field dependence of magnetization, M(μ0H) for α–Co(V1−xCrx)2O6 samples with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05. The hysteresis in M(μ0H) curves for μ0H < 5T at 2K indicate that the magnetization is metastable and suggests magnetic irreversibility. Zero-field-cooled (ZFC) and field-cooled (FC) temperature dependence of magnetization, M(T), show antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering of the α–Co(V1−xCrx)2O6 samples at fields, μ0H ≤ 1T. Increasing field strength to 2.5T causes a transition from the AFM state to a ferrimagnetic (FI) state, and an introduction of spin-glass (SG)-like behavior. At 5T, a transition from the FI state to a ferromagnetic (FM) state and a suppression of SG-like behavior is observed.

Microstructures and properties of Al2O3 dispersion-strengthened Cu10Sn oil bearings prepared by solid-liquid doping and reactive synthesis method

To modify the shortcomings of Cu10Sn oil bearing in mechanical performance, this work proposes to prepare the Al2O3 oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) Cu10Sn oil bearings by reactive synthesis using elemental Sn and Al2O3 ODS-Cu powder, among which the uniformly doped Al2O3 ODS-Cu powder was synthesized through a solid-liquid doping of Al(NO3)3 in CuO powders followed with hydrogen reduction. The effects of Al2O3 content on the microstructure and properties of ODS-Cu powder and ODS-Cu10Sn oil bearings were investigated in details. The results showed that an increase in Al2O3 amount from 0 to 1.5wt.% leads to a decrease in the average particle size of the reduced ODS-Cu powders, and contributes to the significant improvement of radial compressive strength, and Vickers microhardness. The appropriate sintering temperature is approximately 800 °C, which can result in the evenly distributed Al2O3 and well-developed porosity in oil bearing sample after sintering. The corresponding compressive strength and microhardness of ODS1.5-Cu10Sn oil bearing can reach 305MPa and 208 HV respectively.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Optimization of Novel Furan-ring Fused Chalcones via Radical Cyclization of α,β-Unsaturated Ketones and Cyclic Ketone

Abstract: Novel Furan-ring Fused Chalcones (FFC) were synthesized using a radical cyclization reaction of α,β-unsaturated ketones with cyclic ketone as the model reaction to attain this goal. In this study, traditional and microwave-assisted methods for the efficient and cost-effective synthesis of furan-ring fused chalcones in mild reaction conditions are compared and optimized. The goal is to develop a reliable and adaptable synthetic technique that may be used to produce these useful chalcone derivatives quickly and effectively. The optimal experimental conditions for these reactions were carefully determined using two independent methodologies: conventional (Method A) and microwave (Method B). The results indicated that the proposed method B could be used effectively in the future to synthesize novel furans with short reaction times and acceptable yields (87-94 %), and products were purified by column chromatography and preparative thin layer chromatography (PTLC). All new compounds were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, LC-MS, and elemental analyses.

Immobilization of Xylanase on ZnO nanoparticles obtained by green synthesis from Eupatorium cannabinum L. and its application in enrichment of fruit juices

Juice production is one of the main components of the nutritional food industry. Therefore, improving fruit juice quality and preventing the formation of negative by-products is important for human health. The role of environmentally friendly, safe and economically more affordable green nanocarriers in improving the quality of fruit juice is increasing day by day. For this purpose, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) were prepared from the aqueous extract of the Eupatorium cannabinum L. using the green synthesis method. After immobilization, structural and morphological characterizations of the prepared ZnONPs and xylanase (Xyl)@ZnONPs were carried out, which confirmed that both the synthesis of ZnONPs and the immobilization of Xyl enzyme on ZnONPs were successfully carried out. The biochemical parameters of Xyl@ZnONPs such as optimum pH and temperature, kinetic parameters, thermal stability, reusability, and storage stability were investigated and compared with free Xyl. After immobilization, the optimum pH of free Xyl shifted from 5.0 to an alkaline pH of 8.0, while no change in the optimum temperature (70 °C) was observed for both enzymes. While the activation energy of free Xyl was 5.56 kJ/mol, it was found to be 7.27 kJ/mol for Xyl@ZnONPs. Xyl@ZnONPs outperformed free Xyl due to its long-term storage stability and reusability. Moreover, Xyl@ZnONPs retained 50 % of its activity after 5 reuses and 87 % of its activity after 4 weeks of storage at room temperature. In addition, a decrease in Km value and an increase in Vmax value were observed after immobilization, which means the increased catalytic activity of the Xyl@ZnONPs. As a result of re-using Xyl@ZnONPs in orange juice for 6 cycles, clarification yield of 66.43 % was obtained under optimized conditions. Overall, this study prepared a suitable, environmentally friendly, and robust carrier support for Xyl immobilization and developed a biocatalyst that will provide high performance in the industrial field.

Accelerating the Development of LLZO in Solid-State Batteries Toward Commercialization: A Comprehensive Review.

Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are under development as high-priority technologies for safe and energy-dense next-generation electrochemical energy storage systems operating over a wide temperature range. Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) exhibit high thermal stability and, in some cases, the ability to prevent dendrite growth through a physical barrier, and compatibility with the "holy grail" metallic lithium. These unique advantages of SSEs have spurred significant research interests during the last decade. Garnet-type SSEs, that is, Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO), are intensively investigated due to their high Li-ion conductivity and exceptional chemical and electrochemical stability against lithium metal anodes. However, poor interfacial contact with cathode materials, undesirable lithium plating along grain boundaries, and moisture-induced chemical degradation greatly hinder the practical implementation of LLZO-based SSEs for SSBs. In this review, the recent advances in synthesis methods, modification strategies, corresponding mechanisms, and applications of garnet-based SSEs in SSBs are critically summarized. Furthermore, a comprehensive evaluation of the challenges and development trends of LLZO-based electrolytes in practical applications is presented to accelerate their development for high-performance SSBs.

Synthesis and luminescence study of the rare earth ion (Nd3+) doped Sr3Bi(PO4)3 phosphor

Results of a first investigations on luminescence in Nd[Formula: see text] doped Sr3Bi(PO4)3 are presented. Typical emission is in near infrared (NIR) region consisting of lines attributable to f–f transitions. The excitation also comes from f–f transitions involving higher energy levels, spanning a broad spectral range starting from near ultraviolet (nUV) running through NIR. As much as 5[Formula: see text]mol.% of Nd[Formula: see text] could be doped before concentration quenching of luminescence set in. The quenching was attributed to energy transfer between Nd[Formula: see text] ions taking place through a multipolar mechanism; the critical distance being 21.64[Formula: see text]Å. An easy synthesis method involving low-cost chemicals and favorable luminescence properties makes this phosphor a potential candidate for NIR applications.

DNA Polymerase-Endonuclease Efficiently Synthesizes DNA to Prepare DNA Materials and Develop Novel Signal Amplification System.

DNA biosynthesis, a focus of fundamental and applied research, typically involves DNA polymerases by using templates, primers, and dNTPs. Some polymerases can polymerize dNTPs for DNA de novo synthesis, although this is generally to occur randomly. This novel synthesis method has garnered our attention and practical use. Herein, we observed that the addition of endonuclease significantly enhances the efficiency of the de novo synthesis reaction catalyzed by the DNA polymerase. We further investigated the reaction conditions that influence this efficiency. Building on the optimal reaction conditions, we developed a rapid and efficient strategy for preparing DNA hydrogel. Further, coupled with the CRISPR-Cas system, we developed a nucleic acid signal amplification system characterized by versatility, sensitivity, specificity, and no risk of aerosol contamination. We successfully detected viral nucleic acids in clinical samples. In summary, our study demonstrates the significant potential of DNA polymerase- and endonuclease-catalyzed DNA de novo synthesis in diverse applications.

Synthetic CT generation based on CBCT using improved vision transformer CycleGAN

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a crucial component of adaptive radiation therapy; however, it frequently encounters challenges such as artifacts and noise, significantly constraining its clinical utility. While CycleGAN is a widely employed method for CT image synthesis, it has notable limitations regarding the inadequate capture of global features. To tackle these challenges, we introduce a refined unsupervised learning model called improved vision transformer CycleGAN (IViT-CycleGAN). Firstly, we integrate a U-net framework that builds upon ViT. Next, we augment the feed-forward neural network by incorporating deep convolutional networks. Lastly, we enhance the stability of the model training process by introducing gradient penalty and integrating an additional loss term into the generator loss. The experiment demonstrates from multiple perspectives that our model-generated synthesizing CT(sCT) has significant advantages compared to other unsupervised learning models, thereby validating the clinical applicability and robustness of our model. In future clinical practice, our model has the potential to assist clinical practitioners in formulating precise radiotherapy plans.

Immunomodulatory effects of laser-synthesized nanodiamonds on peripheral blood mononuclear cells: evaluation of unconjugated, PEGylated, and antibody-conjugated formulations

The application of laser-synthesized nanodiamonds (LNDs) is of great interest to biomedical researchers and drug developers because this emerging method of synthesis yields nanodiamonds of consistent size (&amp;lt;5 nm diameter) and surface chemistry that can be functionalized to perform a staggering range of highly specialized tasks. The present study assessed the threshold at which LNDs in various conjugations and concentrations triggered immune responses and cytotoxicity in peripheral mononuclear blood cells from healthy donors, as assessed by changes in ATP concentrations and induced secretion of the cytokines IFN-γ, IL-6 and TNF-α. Conjugations assessed were raw (unconjugated) NDs, PEGylated (PEG5k-NDs), and antibody conjugated to goat anti-mouse antibodies (IgG-NDs). Concentrations of each conjugation were prepared and tested at 50.0, 10.0, 2.0, 0.4, and 0.08 μg/mL. Results showed that pegylated and raw NDs were well tolerated, with the indicators of inflammation or minimal cytotoxicity emerging only at the highest concentrations tested (50.0 μg/mL). IgG-NDs showed signs of inflammatory responses at the two highest concentrations tested (10.0 and 50.0 μg/mL). There was some evidence that the dilutant vehicle used for ND suspension may have contributed to the immune response. All three ND configurations increased ATP concentration in a dose-dependent manner, up to a concentration of 10.0 μg/mL. At the highest concentration (50.0 μg/mL), the ND solutions showed minimal signs of cytotoxicity. Conclusion from this testing suggest that LNDs are likely to offer substantial utility in biomedical applications because of their capacity to evade the immune response at concentrations at least as high as 2.0 μg/mL and potentially up to 50.0 μg/mL.

A characteristic band of Khentii honey-based zinc oxide nanoparticles was observed at 466 cm–1 and a band of Selenge honey-based zinc oxide nanoparticles was also observed at 434 cm–1. Antibacterial and photocatalytic effects were detected for the developed nanoparticles. The study suggested that newly synthesized honey-based zinc oxide nanoparticles might be an effective tool against bacterial infection.

Acetal‐thiol Click‐like Reaction: Facile and Efficient Synthesis of Dynamic Dithioacetals and Recyclable Polydithioacetals

Dithioacetals are heavily used in organic, material and medical chemistries, and exhibit huge potential to synthesize degradable or recyclable polymers. However, the current synthetic approaches of dithioacetals and polydithioacetals are overwhelmingly dependent on external catalysts and organic solvents. Herein, we disclose a catalyst‐ and solvent‐free acetal‐thiol click‐like reaction for synthesizing dithioacetals and polydithioacetals. High conversion, higher than acid catalytic acetal‐thiol reaction, can be achieved. High universality was confirmed by monitoring the reactions of linear and cyclic acetals (including renewable bio‐sourced furan‐acetal) with aliphatic and aromatic thiols, and the reaction mechanism of monomolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN1) and auto‐protonation (activation) by thiol was clarified by combining experiments and density functional theory computation. Subsequently, we utilize this reaction to synthesize readily recyclable polydithioacetals. By simple heating and stirring, linear polydithioacetals with w of ~110 kDa were synthesized from acetal and dithiol, and depolymerization into macrocyclic dithioacetal and repolymerization into polydithioacetal can be achieved; through reactive extrusion, a semi‐interpenetrating polymer dynamic network with excellent mechanical properties and continuous reprocessability was prepared from poly(vinyl butyral) and pentaerythritol tetrakis(3‐mercaptopropionate). This green and high‐efficient synthesis method for dithioacetals and polydithioacetals is beneficial to the sustainable development of chemistry.

Determination of Trace Cd(II) in Water and Cosmetics based on Au/GO/CuO Nanocomposite Functionalized Electrochemical Sensor

Abstract Cadmium (Cd(II)) is highly toxic to environmental, and while many approaches have been developed to measure cumulative Cd(II) concentration over time, online monitoring of spatiotemporal changes remains challenging. To address this, an electrochemical sensor for determination of ultra-trace Cd(II) was developed, based on gold/graphene oxide/copper oxide (Au/GO/CuO) nanomaterials modifying glassy carbon electrode. CuO nanoparticles were prepared by a green synthesis method using plant extract, and the Au nanoparticles were deposited on the GO/CuO nanosubstrates by an in-situ electrochemical method. The prepared nanocomposites were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The CuO nanoparticles are layered flower-like with an average particle size of 200-500 nm. Au/GO/CuO nanocomposites with high specific surface area and excellent electronic transmission capability enhanced the electrochemical signal of the sensor. Owing to the synergistic effect of Au/GO/CuO, the sensor exhibited good performance to Cd(II) in the ultra-wide range of 5×10-11 - 5×10-7 M with a detection limit of 2×10-11 M. The sensor was successfully quantified for determining Cd(II) with desirable recovery, displaying outstanding long-term stability, high sensitivity, and reproducibility. After validating its accuracy, this sensor was successfully used for detection of Cd (II) in water and cosmetic samples.
