AB  - Due to the increasing use and widespread of plastics, poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) are becoming one of the major threats to the environment. The aim of this paper is obtaining plasticizers from recycled PET, and hot/cold mixing thereof with PVC to produce new materials. Plasticizer was obtained from PET using ethylene glycol (EG) in the presence of catalyst FASCAT 4100, followed by treatment with maleic anhydride and finally 2-ethylhexanol (2-EtHex). The obtained glycolysate and plasticizer, individually or mixtures thereof, were used for the production of polygranulates based on waste PVC in order to obtain an expanded mass of homogenized PVC with glycolysate/plasticizer. The abovementioned procedures and test results for the regranulates and products indicate that the proposed technology offers a solution to the problem of waste PET and PVC through transesterification in order to obtain plasticizer based on PET and EG, called 2-EtHex/MA/РG/PET/EG/MA/2-EtHex used in the processing of PVC waste and in regranulate. The obtained regranulates are further processed by injection molding or extrusion into commercial products such as slippers, footwear, boots, garden hoses, mats, floor mats, etc.

AB  - Purpose: Track structure Monte Carlo (MC) codes have achieved successful outcomes in the quantitative investigation of radiation-induced initial DNA damage. The aim of the present study is to extend a Geant4-DNA radiobiological application by incorporating a feature allowing for the prediction of DNA rejoining kinetics and corresponding cell surviving fraction along time after irradiation, for a Chinese hamster V79 cell line, which is one of the most popular and widely investigated cell lines in radiobiology. Methods: We implemented the Two-Lesion Kinetics (TLK) model, originally proposed by Stewart, which allows for simulations to calculate residual DNA damage and surviving fraction along time via the number of initial DNA damage and its complexity as inputs. Results: By optimizing the model parameters of the TLK model in accordance to the experimental data on V79, we were able to predict both DNA rejoining kinetics at low linear energy transfers (LET) and cell surviving fraction. Conclusion: This is the first study to demonstrate the implementation of both the cell surviving fraction and the DNA rejoining kinetics with the estimated initial DNA damage, in a realistic cell geometrical model simulated by full track structure MC simulations at DNA level and for various LET. These simulation and model make the link between mechanistic physical/chemical damage processes and these two specific biological endpoints.

AB  - Purpose The scientific community shows great interest in the study of DNA damage induction, DNA damage repair, and the biological effects on cells and cellular systems after exposure to ionizing radiation. Several in silico methods have been proposed so far to study these mechanisms using Monte Carlo simulations. This study outlines a Geant4-DNA example application, named “molecularDNA”, publicly released in the 11.1 version of Geant4 (December 2022). Methods It was developed for novice Geant4 users and requires only a basic understanding of scripting languages to get started. The example includes two different DNA-scale geometries of biological targets, namely “cylinders” and “human cell”. This public version is based on a previous prototype and includes new features, such as: the adoption of a new approach for the modeling of the chemical stage, the use of the standard DNA damage format to describe radiation-induced DNA damage, and upgraded computational tools to estimate DNA damage response. Results Simulation data in terms of single-strand break and double-strand break yields were produced using each of the available geometries. The results were compared with the literature, to validate the example, producing less than 5% difference in all cases. Conclusion: “molecularDNA” is a prototype tool that can be applied in a wide variety of radiobiology studies, providing the scientific community with an open-access base for DNA damage quantification calculations. New DNA and cell geometries for the “molecularDNA” example will be included in future versions of Geant4-DNA.

AB  - The human health risks of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and nickel (Ni) in fifty regular and slim cigarette brands available in the Serbian market were evaluated. Distributions on per-cigarette basis concentrations of these metals, as determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, were used as inputs in the probabilistic risk assessment. The contents of these metals in cigarettes varied significantly. Larger quantities of the studied metals were observed in regular cigarettes than in slim cigarettes, but the concentration levels per cigarette tobacco mass were higher in slim cigarettes. The metal concentrations in counterfeit cigarettes were marginally higher than those in authentic brands. Based on the mean concentrations, Pb was the most abundant toxic metal, followed by Ni and Cd. The calculated values of the cumulative hazard index (HI) and incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) indicated a low noncarcinogenic risk and low but not negligible carcinogenic risk from Cd, Pb, and Ni. The mean HI and ILCR values obtained using probabilistic and deterministic approaches were similar. A Monte Carlo simulation was employed to minimize the uncertainty of health risk estimation. The sensitivity analysis revealed that the most influential factor was cigarette mass followed by Cd content.

AB  - Poor antimicrobial activity and lack of protection against UV irradiation are weaknesses of cottontextiles. In an attempt to impart superior antimicrobial and UV-protective properties to cotton, layer-by-layer deposition of chitosan and magnesium lignosulfonate, and in situ synthesis of silver (Ag)nanoparticles (NPs), was performed. Lignin, in a chitosan/lignin multilayer, simultaneously acts as a UVprotective macromolecule and natural reducing and stabilizing agent, allowing formation of Ag NPs. Fourbilayers of this coating is sufficient for fabrication of a chitosan/lignin/Ag-NP textile nanocompositetreatment with 50+ UV protection. 100% reduction of Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, and yeast Candida albicans can be achieved with a 12-bilayercoating, when 20 mM silver nitrate solution and sodium borohydride are applied. On the other hand,four bilayers impregnated with Ag NPs, using 10 mM silver nitrate solution, provides sufficientantimicrobial activity independent of an added reducing agent. This treatment exhibits no inhibition ofhuman keratinocyte cells growth on the skin, indicating low cytotoxicity.

AB  - We investigate the properties of the excess charge (electron, hole) introduced into a two-strand biomolecule. We consider the possibility that the stable soliton excitation can be formed due to interaction of excess charge with the phonon subsystem. The influence of overlap of the molecular orbitals between adjacent structure elements of the macromolecular chain on the soliton properties is discussed. Special attention is paid to the influence of the overlapping of the molecular orbitals between structure elements placed on the different chains. Using the literature values of the basic energy parameters of the two-chain biomolecular structures, possible types of soliton solutions are discussed. © 2023 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd.

Using the literature values of the basic energy parameters of the two-chain biomolecular structures, possible types of soliton solutions are discussed. © 2023 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd.",

AB  - Growing pollution is making it necessary to find new strategies and materials for the removal of undesired compounds from the environment. Adsorption is still one of the simplest and most efficient routes for the remediation of air, soil, and water. However, the choice of adsorbent for a given application ultimately depends on its performance assessment results. Here, we show that the uptake of and capacity for dimethoate adsorption by different viscose-derived (activated) carbons strongly depend on the adsorbent dose applied in the adsorption measurements. The specific surface areas of the investigated materials varied across a wide range from 264 m2 g−1 to 2833 m2 g−1. For a dimethoate concentration of 5 × 10−4 mol L−1 and a high adsorbent dose of 10 mg mL−1, the adsorption capacities were all below 15 mg g−1. In the case of high-surface-area activated carbons, the uptakes were almost 100% under identical conditions. However, when the adsorbent dose was reduced to 0.01 mg mL−1, uptake was significantly reduced, but adsorption capacities as high as 1280 mg g−1 were obtained. Further, adsorption capacities were linked to adsorbents’ physical and chemical properties (specific surface area, pore size distribution, chemical composition), and thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption process were evaluated. Based on the Gibbs free energy of the adsorption process, it can be suggested that physisorption was operative for all studied adsorbents. Finally, we suggest that a proper comparison of different adsorbents requires standardization of the protocols used to evaluate pollutant uptakes and adsorption capacities.

AB  - Amorphous, non-doped, and copper- and selenium-doped Sb2S3 nanoparticles were synthesized by a hot-injection method. Zinc-doped Sb2S3 nanoparticles were prepared for the first time using the same approach. Electron microscopy revealed that spherical nanoparticles of 1–4 nanometers aggregated into larger spherical clusters. Introducing dopants into the Sb2S3 structure neither influenced the samples’ spherical morphology nor their sizes. The presence of the dopants (Cu, Se, or Zn) was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and, in the case of Zn, also by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) patterns of the non-doped and doped samples imply an amorphous structure. Crystalline Zn-doped Sb2S3 revealed defined peaks from only the Sb2S3 phase, indicating successful doping. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) revealed high optical bandgap energies (2.03–2.12 eV) compared to the values (1.6–1.7 eV) for large non-doped and doped particles obtained at 240 °C, which might be attributed to a quantum size effect. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed a phase without any impurities for the undoped and characteristic peaks for copper, selenium, and zinc Auger for the doped samples. XPS valence band confirm for the Zn-doped particles a shift towards lower binding energy compared to the non-doped samples, indicating successful doping. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements show that embedding Zn into the Sb2S3 host lattice suppresses the wide luminescence band related to intrinsic vacancy defects. Narrow peaks at 1.7–2.4 eV were found to be associated with singlet excitons. The energy dependence of the light emission on the synthesized nanoparticles’ size suggests quantum confinement. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.

AB  - The main idea of the present study was to investigate the impact of the ongoing world crisis on the socio-economic issues in Serbia concerning building materials usage and purchase. This research fills in the gaps in the literature and contributes to the comprehension of how the crisis has affected salaries, market pricing, and materials consumption in the building sector. The data are gathered through a questionnaire and analyzed using a statistical methodology (frequencies, descriptive statistics, and Spearman’s correlations). Most of the former studies investigated the surveys conducted on specialists in the field, while this study analyzed the perspectives of random people. Socio-demographic issues are analyzed along with materials consumption before and after the crisis. A special emphasis is given to ecological awareness and novel materials usage. Additionally, it captures a broad shift in the economy and ecological consciousness in a developing country. The majority of respondents are open to using novel building materials and products, but their choice would largely be influenced by cost, the amount of effort involved, and their understanding of the advantages. Statistical approaches revealed that the crisis has a considerable impact on the markets for construction and building supplies, altering consumers’ decisions when purchasing. This contribution lays the groundwork for developing countries in the modern world to improve sustainability and adopt circular thinking. Professionals in Serbia need to have a more eco-aware mindset and enhance how they provide pertinent information to potential clients. This study is limited by the number of respondents. For future mathematical modeling and forecasting, more answerers are needed.

AB  - Titanium nitride (TiN) is an attractive alternative for modern and future photonic applications, as its optical properties can be engineered over a wide spectral range. In this study, we have used sequential implantation of gold and silver ions with varying ion fluence, as well as subsequent annealing, in order to modify the optical and plasmonic properties of TiN thin films and correlated this to their structural properties. Our investigations show that the columnar structure of the TiN films is partially destroyed upon implantation, but metallic Au and Ag nanoparticles are formed. The irradiation further induces a reduction of the lattice constant as well as changes the TiN stoichiometry and grain size. From the optical point of view, the implanted films possess less metallicity with increasing Ag fluence and losses several times lower than the as-deposited film, which can be correlated with the deficiency of nitrogen and additional defects. Subsequent annealing partially recovered the destroyed columnar structure, and the films become more metallic where the optical losses are much smaller in comparison to the as-implanted situation, being comparable to those of pure Au and Ag. In this way, by varying the implantation fluence of silver ions properly while keeping the gold fluence constant, we were able to optimize experimental parameters in such a way to ensure the formation of TiN with desirable optical performances.

AB  - Background: Thyroid dysfunctions as well as sleep abnormalities are usually followed by neurological, psychiatric and/or behavioral disorders. On the other hand, changes in the brain adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities show significant importance in pathogenetic pathways in the evolution of numerous neuropsychiatric diseases. Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the in vivo simultaneous effects of hypothyroidism and paradoxical sleep deprivation for 72 h on synaptosomalATPases and AChE activities of whole rat brains. In order to induce hypothyroidism, 6-n-propyl-2-thiouracil was administrated in drinking water during 21 days. The modified multiple platform method was used to induce paradoxical sleep deprivation. The AChE and ATPases activities were measured using spectrophotometric methods. Results: Hypothyroidism significantly increased the activity of Na+/K+-ATPase compared to other groups, while at the same time significantly decreased AChE activity compared to the CT and SD groups. Paradoxical sleep deprivation significantly increased AChE activity compared to other groups. The simultaneous effect of hypothyroidism and sleep deprivation reduced the activity of all three enzymes (for Na+/K+-ATPase between HT/SD and HT group p < 0.0001, SD group p < 0.001,CT group p = 0.013; for ecto-ATPases between HT/SD and HT group p = 0.0034, SD group p = 0.0001, CT group p = 0.0007; for AChE between HT/SD and HT group p < 0.05, SD group p < 0.0001, CT group p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The effect of simultaneous existence of hypothyroidism and paradoxical sleep deprivation reduces the activity of the Na+/K+-ATPase, ecto-ATPases, and AChE, what is different from individual effect of hypothyroidism and paradoxical sleep deprivation itself. This knowledge could help in the choice of appropriate therapy in such condition. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - The liver is an organ in which many oxidative processes occur and represents an important target of oxidative stress (OxS). Under physiological conditions of normal mitochondrial homeostasis, hepatocytes effectively remove reactive oxygen species (ROS) by enabling metabolic adaptations and through the antioxidant defence system mechanisms. However, obesity-induced lipid accumulation in the hepatocytes causes significantly elevated production of ROS, reduces oxidative capacity, and increases oxidative stress (OxS). In men, compared with premenopausal women, the development of insulin resistance (IR) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obesity are more prevalent, where oestradiol (E2), the most potent female sex steroid, is proposed as the main culprit. Exogenous oestradiol (E2) administration exerts beneficial effects on antioxidant properties, restores total plasma antioxidant capacity and decreases biomarkers of OxS in ovariectomized animal models. Thus, we hypothesized that E2 treatment in states of obesity could have beneficial effects against OxS in the obese male's liver. We assumed that E2 could directly affect the level of OxS by increasing the level/activity of the AOS enzymes, particularly SOD1, SOD2, GPx, and CAT, in obese males' livers. In addition, we assumed that the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyl content (PCC) in obese males' livers would be reduced after E2 treatment as a result of E2 inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation, respectively. To test our hypothesis, we used the liver of a high-fat (HF) diet-fed male Wistar rats as an animal model of obesity, treated with E2 intraperitoneally (40 μg/kg). Preliminary results from this study support our hypothesis that E2 increases liver protein expression of AOS enzymes: SOD1, GPx, and CAT, in control and HF male rats compared with their respective controls. The protein level of SOD2 and CAT activity was increased in HF treated with E2 compared with non-treated HF rats. Moreover, as we expected, E2 administration significantly decreased the MDA level in both E2-treated groups compared to their controls, while the PCC level was significantly decreased in HF treated group compared with untreated HF rats. In conclusion, the preliminary results we obtained in this study indicate that E2 administration can effectively inhibit the OxS-related processes in the liver in HF diet-induced obesity by increasing AOS enzymes levels and CAT activity, and also by decreasing levels of MDA and PCC. A consequence of our hypothesis is that treatment with E2 may be an innovative way to improve obesity-related liver disease prevention and healing. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - Rapidly increasing demand for higher data bandwidths has motivated exploration of new communication channels based on spatially multiplexed in-fibre and on-chip coupled light guides. However, the conventionally used periodically arranged coupled waveguides display complicated light propagation patterns, ranging from quasiperiodic to nearly chaotic. Taking a different approach, we spectrally engineer interwaveguide coupling to instigate self-imaging of the input light state at the array output and thus enable construction of novel high-fidelity interconnects. Simple implementation via modulation of the interwaveguide separations makes these interconnects realizable in all fabrication platforms. Their competitive advantages are negligible crosstalk-induced information loss, high density that exceeds the current standards by an order of magnitude, and compatibility with both classical and quantum information encoding schemes. Moreover, the wavelength-dependent self-imaging opens up new possibilities for wavelength and spatial division demultiplexing. The proposed analytical designs are supported by extensive numerical simulations of silicon-on-insulator, silicon nitride and silica glass waveguide arrays, and a statistical feasibility study. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - Background: Disturbed heart dynamics in depression seriously increases mortality risk. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a rich source of information for studying this dynamics. This paper is a meta-analytic review with methodological commentary of the application of nonlinear analysis of HRV and its possibility to address cardiovascular diseases in depression. Objective: This paper aimed to appeal for the introduction of cardiological screening to patients with depression, because it is still far from established practice. The other (main) objective of the paper was to show that nonlinear methods in HRV analysis give better results than standard ones. Methods: We systematically searched on the web for papers on nonlinear analyses of HRV in depression, in line with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) 2020 framework recommendations. We scrutinized the chosen publications and performed random-effects meta-analysis, using the esci module in jamovi software where standardized effect sizes (ESs) are corrected to yield the proof of the practical utility of their results. Results: In all, 26 publications on the connection of nonlinear HRV measures and depression meeting our inclusion criteria were selected, examining a total of 1537 patients diagnosed with depression and 1041 healthy controls (N=2578). The overall ES (unbiased) was 1.03 (95% CI 0.703-1.35; diamond ratio 3.60). We performed 3 more meta-analytic comparisons, demonstrating the overall effectiveness of 3 groups of nonlinear analysis: detrended fluctuation analysis (overall ES 0.364, 95% CI 0.237-0.491), entropy-based measures (overall ES 1.05, 95% CI 0.572-1.52), and all other nonlinear measures (overall ES 0.702, 95% CI 0.422-0.982). The effectiveness of the applied methods of electrocardiogram analysis was compared and discussed in the light of detection and prevention of depression-related cardiovascular risk. Conclusions: We compared the ESs of nonlinear and conventional time and spectral methods (found in the literature) and demonstrated that those of the former are larger, which recommends their use for the early screening of cardiovascular abnormalities in patients with depression to prevent possible deleterious events. ©Milena Čukić, Danka Savić, Julia Sidorova.

CMD has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. A sodium pump (Na + /K + -ATPase) is found in most eukaryotic cells’ membrane and controls many essential cellular functions directly or indirectly. This ion transporter and its isoforms are important in the pathogenesis of some pathological processes, including CMD. The structure and function of Na + /K + -ATPase, its expression and distribution in tissues, and its interactions with known ligands such as cardiotonic steroids and other suspected endogenous regulators are discussed in this review. In addition, we reviewed recent literature data related to the involvement of Na + /K + -ATPase activity dysfunction in CMD, focusing on the Na + /K + -ATPase as a potential therapeutic target in CMD.

AB  - The utilization of construction and demolition debris in industrial wastewater treatment by sorption of Co2+ and Ni2+ ions was investigated. Selected waste composites are cost-effective and locally available, still their sorption character-istics and application are not sufficiently investigated. The samples of concrete, facade, ceramic materials, and asphalt were characterized in terms of mineral and surface composition, radioactivity, and stability at different pH values, as well as pH values of suspension and filtrate and electrical conductivity of the fil-trate. The sorption capacities were determined in batch experimental conditions in one and multi-component solutions. Characterization showed different crystal structures and mineralogical compositions of components. The results of gamma spectrometry confirmed the radiological safety of samples. Based on stability testing results, waste materials are suitable for further utilization and do not pose any risk to the environment. The overall sorption results suggested that cement-based materials, in addition to high affinity for the tested ions, represent a sorbent that binds contaminants firmly enough, reduces their mobility and bioa-vailability, and are suitable for removing Co2+ and Ni2+ ions from wastewaters.

AB  - Metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance are characterized by glucose and lipid metabolism alterations and represent a global health problem. Many studies have established the crucial role of micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) in controlling metabolic processes in various tissues. miRNAs are single-stranded, highly conserved non-coding RNAs containing 20-24 oligonucleotides that are expressed in a tissue-specific manner. miRNAs mainly interact through base pairing with 3' untranslated regions of target gene mRNAs to promote inhibition of their translation. miRNAs regulate the expression of as many as 30% of the human genes and have a role in crucial physiological processes such as human growth and development, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and metabolism. The number of miRNA molecules with a confirmed role in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases is quickly expanding due to the availability of high-throughput methodologies for their identification. In this review, we present recent findings regarding the role of miRNAs as endocrine signaling molecules involved in the regulation of insulin production and fat metabolism. We discuss the potential of extracellular miRNAs present in biological fluids miRNAs as biomarkers for the prediction of diabetes and MetS. We also give an updated overview of therapeutic interventions based on antisense oligonucleotides and the CRISPR/Cas9 editing platform for manipulating levels of miRNAs involved in metabolic disorders. © 2023 Bentham Science Publishers.

AB  - Background and Aim: Excessive fructose consumption along with a sedentary lifestyle provokes metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Fructose overload causes cardiac insulin resistance and increases reliance on fatty acid (FA) uptake and catabolism. The cardiometabolic benefits of exercise training have long been appreciated. The goal of the presented study is to shed a new light to the preventive role of exercise training on cardiac lipid metabolism in fructose-fed rats. Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into control (C), sedentary fructose (F), and exercised fructose (EF) groups. Fructose was given as a 10% fructose solution in drinking water for 9 weeks. Low-intensity exercise training was applied for 9 weeks. The protein expression and subcellular localization of Lipin1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γcoactivator 1 α (PGC1) were analyzed in the heart using Western blot. Cardiac forkhead box transcription factor 1 (FOXO1) and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) protein levels were also evaluated. Gene expression of long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase was analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results: Exercise training has augmented the expression of main regulators of FA oxidation in the heart and achieves its effect by increasing the nuclear content of PPARα, Lipin1, and FOXO1 compared with the fructose group (P = 0.0422, P = 0.000045, P = 0.00958, respectively). In addition, Lipin1, FOXO1, and SIRT1 were increased in nuclear extract after exercise compared with the control group (P = 0.000043, P = 0.0417, P = 0.0329, respectively). In cardiac lysate, low-intensity exercise caused significantly increased protein level of PPARα, PGC1, FOXO1, and SIRT1 compared with control (P = 0.0377, P = 0.0275, P = 0.0096, P = 0.0282, respectively) and PGC1 level compared with the fructose group (P = 0.0417). Conclusion: The obtained results imply that the heart with a metabolic burden additionally relies on FA as an energy substrate after low-intensity running. © Copyright 2023, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers 2023.

AB  - Drug resistance is a critical problem in health care that affects therapy outcomes and requires new approaches to drugdesign. SARS-CoV-2 Mpro mutations are of concern as they can potentially reduce therapeutic efficacy. Viral infections are amongst themany disorders for which nutraceuticals have been employed as an adjunct therapy. The aim of this study was to examine the potentialin vitro activity of L-arginine and vitamin C against SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. Methods: The Mpro inhibition assay was developed by cloning,expression, purification, and characterization of Mpro. Selected compounds were then screened for protease inhibition. Results: Largininewas found to be active against SARS-CoV-2 Mpro, while a vitamin C/L-arginine combination had a synergistic antiviral actionagainst Mpro. These findings confirm the results of our previous in silico repurposing study that showed L-arginine and vitamin C werepotential Mpro inhibitors. Moreover, they suggest a possible molecular mechanism to explain the beneficial effect of arginine in COVIDpatients. Conclusions: The findings of the current study are important because they help to identify COVID-19 treatments that areefficient, inexpensive, and have a favorable safety profile. The results of this study also suggest a possible adjuvant nutritional strategyfor COVID-19 that could be used in conjunction with pharmacological agents.

AB  - The increase of production and consumption persistently introduce different pollutants into the environment. The constant development and improvement of analytical methods for tracking environmental contaminants are essential. The demand for high sample throughput analysis has hit the spotlight for developing selective sensors to avoid time-consuming sample preparation techniques. In addition, the sensor’s sensitivity should satisfy the rigorous demands of harmful compound tracking. Molecularly imprinted plasmonic-based sensors are excellent candidates to overcome selectivity and sensitivity issues. Molecularly imprinted polymers are robust, stable in aqueous and organic solvents, stable at extreme pHs and temperatures, and include a low-cost synthesis procedure. Combined with plasmonic-based techniques, they are the perspective choice for applications in the field of environmental protection. Plasmonic-based sensors offer a lower limit of detection, a broad linearity range, high sensitivity, and high selectivity compared to other detection techniques. This review outlines the optical plasmonic detection of different environmental contaminants with molecularly imprinted polymers as sensing elements. The main focus is on the environmental pollutants affecting human and animal health, such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, hormones, microorganisms, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dyes, and metal particles. Although molecularly imprinted plasmonic-based sensors currently have their application mostly in the biomedical field, we are eager to point them out as a highly prospective solution for many environmental problems.

AB  - Pure and samarium (Sm3+) - or zirconium (Zr4+)-doped TiO2 nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning method followed by calcination at 500 °C for 1 h. As-spun fibers were smooth, straight and continuous, whilst EDS analysis confirmed the fiber composition and incorporation of dopants in the fibers. Doping with Sm3+ and Zr4+ greatly inhibited the phase transformation of anatase to rutile, by surrounding of Sm3+ ions through formation of Ti-O-Sm bonds and by replacement of Ti4+ ions with larger Zr4+ ions. This was confirmed by HRTEM and SAED analysis. The size of nanofibers was determined to be 133 nm, 175 nm and 155 nm for pure, (0.5%)Sm3+:TiO2 and (1%)Zr4+:TiO2, respectively. After calcination, TiO2 crystal lattice with interplanar spacing of 0.353 nm of (101) crystal plane was not significantly disturbed by Sm doping whilst crystal lattice spacing of 0.357 nm of (101) planes of anatase phase in case TiO2:1.0%Zr4+, significantly differs from the value of pure TiO2 (0.352 nm), thus implying that Zr was doped into substitutional sites of the TiO2 lattice. The indirect band gaps were calculated to be in the range 3.07–3.24 eV. TiO2:0.5%Sm3+ and TiO2:1.0%Zr4+ exhibited higher specific surface area, of 47.1 and 59.4 m2/g, respectively, than pure TiO2 fibers (19.7 m2/g). Effects of Sm3+ and Zr4+ dopant content on the photodegradation efficiency of methylene blue (MB) were studied. TiO2:0.5%Sm3+ and TiO2:1.0%Zr4+ nanofibers have shown the highest photocatalytic activity of 97% and 98% with constant rates 0.01768 min−1 and 0.01939 min−1, respectively, within180 min irradiation under visible light.

AB  - Geopolymers have excellent physical and mechanical properties, so they can be used as a substitute for ordinary polymers. Geopolymers are ceramic materials, which exhibit the property of brittleness, which can be a limitation in some structural applications. To overcome this shortcoming, a new group of materials (organic geopolymers) was developed. The aim of this work is the synthesis of organic (hybrid) geopolymers. A geopolymer based on metakaolin was synthesized as a reference sample, while polyvinyl alcohol was added as an organic phase for synthesizing a hybrid geopolymer. It was concluded that the systems follow the rule of behavior in liquid systems. The chemical composition of the samples was determined by X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF). Structural and phase characterization of hybrid and reference materials were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD)and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), which revealed new phases in the PVA-added samples. The results show that the content of added PVA in the reaction mixture affects the phase composition of the synthesized materials. To examine the possibility of adsorption of the samples, Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV/VIS) was used. The morphology was analyzed using a scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), where efflorescence was observed and identified. After characterizing the geopolymer with the addition of PVA, we obtained a material that was far more porous than the basic sample, and we can conclude that we have synthesized a material that shows good mechanical properties.

AB  - It is well known that geopolymers are a new group of binder materials of alumosilicate origin. Geopolymers are made by the reaction of precursor aluminosilicate materials with alkaline activator solutions. The current research relates to a low-cost and eco-friendly procedure, suitable of being implemented in two easy steps. The first step is the production of a solid phase based on fly ash (Obrenovac, Serbia) and eggshell ash as waste materials rich in calcium. The second step is alkali activating the solid phase using an alkaline activator (a mixture of NaOH and Na2SiO3) and procedures in proper laboratory conditions. Four samples with different eggshell ash content were synthesized. The concentration of used NaOH was 12 mol dm−3. The structural properties of all investigated samples were analyzed by XRD (X-ray diffraction), DRIFT (diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform), SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and UV/Vis spectroscopy analysis. XRD determined the amorphous halo with the presence of quartz as the crystal phase in all of the investigated samples. These results were confirmed by DRIFT analysis. The morphology of the samples was determined by SEM analysis. UV/Vis showed that the material could be a potential adsorbent.

AB  - The silver and gold L-methionine capped nanoparticles (Ag and Au @LM NPs) were analyzed as prospective acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors to test their potential in the treatment of cognitive impairment in depression and Alzheimer's disease. The stability of NPs, and their ability to inhibit AChE were studied by UV-Vis and FTIR spectrophotometry. At the same time, TEM and SEM measurements, DLS, and zeta potential measurements were employed in the structural characterization of NPs. Nearly spherical, negatively charged Ag and Au @LM NPs, with 17 nm and 31 nm in diameter, respectively, showed moderate inhibitory potential toward AChE in the given frame of investigated concentrations. For both NPs IC50 is not reached. Furthermore, the adsorption of enzyme molecules on the surface of Ag and Au @LM NPs was demonstrated. Hence, our assumption is that inhibition of AChE is caused by blockage of the enzyme‘s active site due to the steric hindrance of NPs.

AB  - In recent years, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have attracted considerable attention, and they have been applied in many fields, such as dissolution and separation, electrochemistry, materials preparation, reaction, and catalysis. In this paper, a detailed thermal decomposition mechanism of DES-type II (consisting choline chloride (ChCl) and magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2·6H2O) in a molar ratio 2:1 (MgCl2·6H2O-[Ch]Cl)) was explained, using thermal analysis techniques. Physicochemical clarification of overall thermal decomposition mechanism and the influence of enthalpy–entropy compensation (EEC) on reactions mechanism emerging are presented for the first time, in favor of this DES type. In the kinetic analysis of the decomposition process, two approaches were used: model-free (inverse) and model-based (direct) methods. It was found that thermodynamic principles in the form of EEC are the source of kinetic compensation effect (KCE) during MgCl2·6H2O-[Ch]Cl thermal decomposition, as a consequence of the effects of molecular interactions. Key phenomenon in the complex multiple step process represents a parallel dehydration steps of MgCl2·6H2O in DES, leading to formation of intermediates, such as [MgCl1(H2O)5]1+ and [MgCl2(H2O)4]. It was established that formation of final products (Mg(OH)2 and MgOHCl) requires a higher expenditure of energy to overcome a high potential barrier, where reaction system compensates this energy via hydrogen bonding disruption. This was confirmed by the identification of a specific ‘oscillator’, flagged as Hsingle bondOsingle bondH···Cl hydrogen bond donating system of the energy (“heat bath”). All kinetic parameters and mechanisms of individual reaction steps were confirmed by numerical optimization of the process and modulated dynamic predictions.
