AB  - The dielectric properties of nanocomposites based on isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and atactic polystyrene (aPS) obtained by novel, simple, and environmentally friendly treatment technique have been analyzed in this study. The best treatment conditions to obtain nanocomposites with embedded core-shell particles with enhanced dielectric properties were considered. Treatment of polymer matrices in water solution iron(II)-chloride had the most pronounced precipitation effect, that was directly related to the appearance of higher transition metal concentrations in the iPP and aPS matrices, in comparison to treatments in the other two transition metal salts, MnCl2 and NiCl2. Relative dielectric constant and loss tangent have been studied in the frequency range from 20 Hz to 9 MHz. Embedded core-shell nanoparticles (from 15 to 150 nm in diameter) in a very small amount (1.72E-8 mol/cm3 to 1.17E-5 mol/cm3) resulted in significant improvement (2.5% up to 9.1%) and stabilization of relative dielectric constant value toward higher frequencies and also lowering loss tangent in compare to starting polymer matrices. These properties indicate that materials obtained with the presented treatment technique can be applied as microelectronic packing and with further development of the method in order to obtain a higher concentration of metal ions as energy storage devices.

AB  - In this work, betaine (trimethyl glycine) and tannin (complex biomolecules of polyphenolic nature) were used as bio-fillers. Urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin with a molar ratio of formaldehyde versus urea (FA/U) of 0.8 was synthesized in situ with tannin and betaine as bio-fillers, to obtain UF resin with reduced free FA content and increased hydrolytic and thermal stability by the principles of sustainability. The samples TUF (with tannin) and BUF (with betaine) were characterized by using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential thermal analysis (DTA), supported by data from Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The percentage of free FA in modified BUF resin is 0.1%, while the percentage of free FA in tannin-modified resin is 0.8%. The hydrolytic stability of the modified UF resins was determined by measuring the concentration of liberated FA in the modified UF resins, after acid hydrolysis. The modified BUF resin is hydrolytically more stable because the content of released FA is 3.6% compared to the modified TUF resin, where it was 7.4%. Based on the value for T5%, the more thermally stable resin is the modified TUF resin (T5% = 123.1°C), while the value of the T5% for the BUF resin is 83.1°C. This work showed how UF bio-composite with reduced free FA content and increased hydrolytic and thermal stability can be obtained using tannin and betaine as bio-fillers.

AB  - The creation of novel biocompatible Ti-based thin films with a Zr or Cu sub-layer modified by ultrafast laser processing is studied. To prepare bioactive surfaces, ultrafast laser processing is focused on the formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) with the production of oxide phases at the surfaces. Two differently designed multilayer thin films Ti/Cu/Ti and Ti/Zr/Ti were deposited on the silicon using the ion sputtering method. The Ti thin film contains Cu or Zr sub-layer (thickness of 10 nm) at the 10 nm below the surface. The composition and surface morphology variations for these systems, deposited and laser-processed under the same experimental conditions, were caused only by different thermo-physical properties of the sub-layer (Cu or Zr). The surface morphology in the form of LIPSS, led to improved cell adhesion and stable cells/thin films interface compared to as-deposited samples. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy and MTT analysis revealed that laser processing of both systems increased cell adhesion, proliferation, and metabolical activity of L929 mouse fibroblast cells compared to non-modified flat surfaces. Overall, the biocompatibility of Zrcontaining thin films is better than Ti/Cu/Ti system. Further, laser processing and formation of LIPSS makes Ti/Zr/Ti thin films excellent candidate for biomedical

AB  - Nanopowders of up-conversion SrGd2O4 orthorhombic (Pnma) phase co-doped with different Yb3+ (1, 2.5 and 5 at%) and constant Er3+ (0.5 at%) ions were successfully prepared via sol-gel assisted combustion. Rietveld refinement indicated unit cell lattice parameters increase with Yb3+ and Er3+ ions doping. Scanning transmission electron microscopy with corresponding energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed that obtained powders are composed of agglomerated nanoparticles that have a uniform distribution of all constituting elements. Photoluminescence measurements implied intensification of the up-conversion (UC) emission in the visible part of spectrum with the increase of Yb3+ content, which is followed by a significant change in the green to red ratio. Two-photon UC processes are established as a result of Er3+ f-f electronic transitions: green emission at 523 and 551 nm (2H11/2, 4S3/2 → 4I15/2) as well as a red emission at 661 nm (4F9/2 → 4I15/2). The highest value of absolute quantum yield of 0.055% is determined for SrGd2O4 nanoparticles doped with 0.5 at% of Er3+ and co-doped with 5 at% of Yb3+ (λexc = 976 nm, power density 200 W/cm2).

AB  - The effect of laser (532 nm line of Verdi G) heating during the Raman measurements, on partial decomposition of Bi12SiO20 single crystal, was addressed in this study. The degree of decomposition directly depends on the power density and duration of the laser treatment, which are registered by the phonon Raman spectra. After laser treatment, AFM measurements register additional small spherical islands on the surface. Analysis performed on irradiated and unirradiated samples showed significant changes in transmission spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, Verdet constant, magneto-optical property, and absorption coefficient. The material obtained after laser irradiation can be described as specific nanocomposite consisting of bismuth oxide and silicon oxide-based nano-objects (dimensions below 15 nm in diameter), which are arranged in a matrix of Bi12SiO20.

AB  - Oxynitrides of cerium are expected to have many useful properties but have not been synthesized so far. We identified possible modifications of a not-yet-synthesized Ce3O3N compound, combining global search (GS) and data mining (DM) methods. Employing empirical potentials, structure candidates were obtained via global optimization on the energy landscape of Ce3O3N for different pressure values. Furthermore, additional feasible structure candidates were found using data mining of the ICSD database. The most promising structure candidates obtained were locally optimized at the ab initio level, and their E(V) curves were computed. The structure lowest in total energy, Ce3O3N-DM1, was found via local optimization starting from a data mining candidate and should be thermodynamically metastable up to high pressures.

AB  - In modern industry, there is an increasing demand for environmentally friendly and light structural materials with good physical and mechanical properties, produced from cheap natural raw materials available in large quantities. One of the materials that meet the mentioned criteria is basalt. Basalt is a natural igneous rock of volcanic origin, created by the pouring of magma on the Earth's surface, the amount of which is significant in the territory of Serbia. Since basalt does not exhibit toxic, carcinogenic, or mutagenic effects, it is in the true sense a non-hazardous material and belongs to the group of eco-friendly materials. In this research, andesite basalt aggregate from the "Donje Jarinje" site, in Serbia, was used to obtain high-density glass-ceramic materials. High-density glass-ceramic materials were obtained by powder metallurgy process, which consisted of the following methods: dry grinding, homogenization, cold uniaxial and isostatic powder pressing and sintering in the air. In order to achieve a high-density of the materials, the green compacts were sintered in the temperature range from 1040 to 1080 °C. After confirming that the highest density materials were achieved at the sintering temperature of 1060 °C, the sintering time was optimized in the time interval from 30 to 240 min. After the experimental test, the optimal sintering parameters for obtaining high-density glass-ceramic material at the temperature of 1060 °C for 60 min were achieved, whose relative density is 99.50%, and hardness is 6.70 GPa. The characterization of andesite basalt powder was performed using the laser light diffraction method, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction method, while the characterization of sintered glass-ceramic materials was performed using the Archimedes method, X-ray diffraction method, optical light microscopy and Vickers hardness test. The results of this research confirmed that by applying powder metallurgy and sintering in the air, high-density glass-ceramic materials could be obtained for various industrial applications in the civil engineering, chemical and food industries, as well as for the making of containers for the storage of nuclear waste. Also, high-density glass-ceramic materials would be suitable for making a matrix in modern composite materials.

One of these materials is basalt. Basalt is a natural igneous rock of volcanic origin, with a significant amount in Serbia. Basalt belongs to the group of non-hazardous and eco-friendly materials. Andesite basalt aggregate from the "Donje Jarinje" site, Serbia, was used as the starting natural raw material for obtaining the glass-ceramic material. The aggregate is from 2 to 5 mm in size. The aggregate was milled in the tungsten-carbide vibrating cup mill for 30 min to obtain a fine powder for synthesis. The homogenization of andesite basalt powder and binder was carried out in the mortar and pestle for 10 min. The paraplast was used as a binder with a content of 0.6 wt.%. After that, uniaxial pressing of the powder at a pressure of 50 MPa was performed. A forming green compact, cold isostatic pressing was performed with a pressure of 230 MPa to increase its density. The sintering was carried out at the temperature of 1060 °C for 60 min in the air. The sintered glass-ceramic sample was a relative density of 99.5%, a macrohardness of 6.7 GPa and a fracture toughness of 2.2 MPa·m1/2 [1]. The andesite basalt powder was characterized using the laser light diffraction method, X-ray diffraction method and scanning electron microscopy. Sintered glassceramic material was characterized using the X-ray diffraction method, Archimedes principle, scanning electron and optical light microscopy and the Vickers hardness test.

AB  - This paper aims to investigate the development of a floating artificial sustainable energy island at a conceptual design level that would enhance the energy independence of islands focusing on a case study on the island of Crete. This paper provides a baseline assessment showing the immense potential of wind and solar energy in and around Crete integrating the third significant renewable energy source (RES) of ocean waves into the energy island. The selection of the best location for the floating offshore platforms that compose the energy island is addressed through exploiting the great potential of the above-mentioned RES, taking into consideration criteria with regard to several significant human activities. To this end, the concept of an innovative floating modular energy island (FMEI) that integrates different renewable energy resources is proposed; in addition, a case study that focuses on the energy independency of a big island illustrates the concept referring to the substitution of the local thermal power plants that are currently in operation in Crete with sustainable energy power. Although focused on the renewable energy resources around Crete, the work of this paper provides a basis for a systematic offshore renewable energy assessment as it proposes a new methodology that could be used anywhere around the globe.

AB  - In recent years, the interest of the scientific community has become focused on the integration of circular economy principles by eliminating end-of-life concepts and forming zero-waste strategies. The present paper suggests the possible application of innovative, eco-friendly, cost-effective, and highly efficient ceramic materials with the partial implementation of aluminosilicate-based waste in the form of wastewater sludge in advanced technology solutions. The specific objective was to demonstrate the effective utilization of the investigated waste in the production of refractory adhesives and/or sealants for Intermediate-Temperature Solid-Oxide Fuel Cells (IT-SOFCs). Different physical–mechanical and chemical properties were determined along with the performance of leaching tests, the thermal cycling procedure, and leakage tests in a single cell. Based on the maintenance of mechanical integrity after thermal cycling and satisfying crystal and microstructural stability after high-temperature treatment, it was concluded that the investigated materials may be considered promising candidates for application as heat-resistant adhesives for connecting components in heating systems. However, they were not found to be applicable as sealants for IT-SOFCs in raw form according to the failure of testing in a single cell. Still, requirements for this purpose could be met after certain modifications of the composition and synthesis methodology, which presents the major initiative for our further research in this field. © 2023 by the authors.

AB  - Thermo-chemical conversion via the pyrolysis of cigarette butt (CB) filters was successfully valorized and upcycled in the pre-carbonization and carbonization stages. The pre-carbonization stage (devolatilization) of the precursor material (cellulose acetate filter, r-CAcF) was analyzed by micro-scale experiments under non-isothermal conditions using TG-DTG-DTA and DSC techniques. The results of a detailed kinetic study showed that the decomposition of r-CAcF takes place via complex mechanisms, including consecutive reaction steps and two single-step reactions. Consecutive stages include the α-transition referred to as a cellulose polymorphic transformation (cellulose I → II) through crystallization mechanism changes, where a more thermodynamically ordered system was obtained. It was found that the transformation rate of cellulose I → II (‘cellulose regeneration’) is strongly affected by the presence of alkali metals and the deacetylation process. Two single-step reactions showed significant overlapping behavior, which involves a nucleation-controlled scission mechanism (producing levoglucosan, gaseous products, and abundant radicals) and hydrolytic decomposition of cellulose by catalytic cleavage of glycosidic bonds with the presence of an acidic catalyst. A macro-scale experiment showed that the operating temperature and heating rate had the most notable effects on the total surface area of the manufactured carbon. A substantial degree of mesoporosity with a median pore radius of 3.1695 nm was identified. The presence of macroporosity on the carbon surface and acidic surface functional groups was observed.

AB  - To develop novel luminescent materials for optical temperature measurement, a series of Yb3+- and Er3+-doped Ca3Sc2Si3O12 (CSS) upconversion (UC) phosphors were synthesized by the sol– gel combustion method. The crystal structure, phase purity, and element distribution of the samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The detailed study of the photoluminescence emission spectra of the samples shows that the addition of Yb3+ can greatly enhance the emission of Er3+ by effective energy transfer. The prepared Yb3+ and Er3+ co-doped CSS phosphors exhibit green emission bands near 522 and 555 nm and red emission bands near 658 nm, which correspond to the 2H11/2→4 I15/2, 4S3/2→4 I15/2, and 4F9/2→4 I15/2 transitions of Er3+, respectively. The temperature-dependent behavior of the CSS:0.2Yb3+,0.02Er3+ sample was carefully studied by the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique. The results indicate the excellent sensitivity of the sample, with a maximum absolute sensitivity of 0.67% K−1 at 500 K and a relative sensitivity of 1.34% K−1 at 300 K. We demonstrate here that the temperature measurement performance of FIR technology using the CSS:Yb3+,Er3+ phosphor is not inferior to that of infrared thermal imaging thermometers. Therefore, CSS:Yb3+,Er3+ phosphors have great potential applications in the field of optical thermometry.

The crystal structure, phase purity, and element distribution of the samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The detailed study of the photoluminescence emission spectra of the samples shows that the addition of Yb3+ can greatly enhance the emission of Er3+ by effective energy transfer. The prepared Yb3+ and Er3+ co-doped CSS phosphors exhibit green emission bands near 522 and 555 nm and red emission bands near 658 nm, which correspond to the 2H11/2→4 I15/2, 4S3/2→4 I15/2, and 4F9/2→4 I15/2 transitions of Er3+, respectively. The temperature-dependent behavior of the CSS:0.2Yb3+,0.02Er3+ sample was carefully studied by the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique. The results indicate the excellent sensitivity of the sample, with a maximum absolute sensitivity of 0.67% K−1 at 500 K and a relative sensitivity of 1.34% K−1 at 300 K. We demonstrate here that the temperature measurement performance of FIR technology using the CSS:Yb3+,Er3+ phosphor is not inferior to that of infrared thermal imaging thermometers. Therefore, CSS:Yb3+,Er3+ phosphors have great potential applications in the field of optical thermometry.",

AB  - Bismuth ferrite (BFO, BiFeO3), exhibiting both ferromagnetic and ferroelectric properties at room temperature, is one of the most researched multiferroic materials with a growing number of technological applications. In the present study, using a combined theoretical–experimental approach, we have investigated the influence of Ho-doping on the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of BFO. Synthesis and structural XRD characterization of Bi1−xHoxFeO3 (x = 0.02, 0.05, and 0.10) nanopowders have been completed. After structure prediction of Ho-doped BiFeO3 using bond valence calculations (BVC), six most favorable candidates were found: α-, β-, γ-, R-, T1, and T2. Furthermore, all structure candidates have been examined for different magnetic ordering using DFT calculations. The magnetic behavior of the synthesized materials was investigated using a SQUID magnetometer equipped with an oven. The plethora of magnetic and electronic properties of the Ho-doped BFO that our theoretical research predicted can open up rich possibilities for further investigation and eventual applications.

AB  - Mn4+-activated fluoride is one of the most important red phosphors for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) with high color rendering index (CRI). Due to a lack of water resistance, their potential applications are limited. Although surface coating strategies improve the waterproof stability of fluoride red phosphors, they have downsides. It was found that Nb5+ plays an important role in improving the water resistance of Mn4+-activated oxyfluorides by preventing the hydrolysis of [MnF6]2-. In this work, the influence of Nb5+ on the waterproof stability of Mn4+-activated fluorides was explored. A set of synthesized K2Ta1-xNbxF7:Mn4+ phosphors exhibit tunable and superior water resistance. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity of the representative sample K2Ta0.6Nb0.4F7:5%Mn4+ remains nearly 100% of its initial value even after being immersed in water for 60 min, which is significantly higher than the commercial K2SiF6:Mn4+ red phosphor (8.7%).

AB  - A comparative study of Eu3+ ion luminescence in YXO4 (X=P, As, V) with the tetragonal zircon structure is conducted in relation to the intensity of the hypersensitivity 5D0 → 7F2 Δ J = 2 transition. Both the asymmetry ratio, R = I 5 D 0 − 7 F 2 I 5 D 0 − 7 F 1 , and the Judd-Ofelt Ω2 intensity parameter increases in the order YPO4 < YAsO4 < YVO4. This correlation is interpreted qualitatively in terms of the covalency and polarizability of (XO4)3−, which increases in the order (PO4)3− < (AsO4)3− < (VO4)3−. The trend is supported by the results of electronic band structure calculations of the three compounds which establish the strength of hybridization between the X cation and the oxygen 2p states. The electronic structure of YAsO4 is calculated to probe the covalence of As-O bonding. The increasing oscillator strength of the Eu3+5D0 → 7F2 transition in going from YPO4 to YAsO4 to YVO4 is consistent with the expectation of ligand dipolar polarization model for hypersensitivity which states that the oscillator strength of the 5D0 → 7F2 transition is proportional to the square of the ligand dipolar polarizability. The connection between the mechanism of hypersensitivity and second harmonic generation (SHG) is presented. © 2023 The Electrochemical Society (“ECS”).

AB  - MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the regulation of various cellular processes including pathological conditions. MiRNA networks have been extensively researched in age-related degenerative diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and heart failure. Thus, miRNA has been studied from different approaches, in vivo, in vitro, and in silico including miRNA networks. Networks linking diverse biomedical entities unveil information not readily observable by other means. This work focuses on biological networks related to Breast cancer susceptibility 1 (BRCA1) in AD and breast cancer (BC). Using various bioinformatics approaches, we identified subnetworks common to AD and BC that suggest they are linked. According to our results, miR-107 was identified as a potentially good candidate for both AD and BC treatment (targeting BRCA1/2 and PTEN in both diseases), accompanied by miR-146a and miR-17. The analysis also confirmed the involvement of the miR-17-92 cluster, and miR-124-3p, and highlighted the importance of poorly researched miRNAs such as mir-6785 mir6127, mir-6870, or miR-8485. After filtering the in silico analysis results, we found 49 miRNA molecules that modulate the expression of at least five genes common to both BC and AD. Those 49 miRNAs regulate the expression of 122 genes in AD and 93 genes in BC, from which 26 genes are common genes for AD and BC involved in neuron differentiation and genesis, cell differentiation and migration, regulation of cell cycle, and cancer development. Additionally, the highly enriched pathway was associated with diabetic complications, pointing out possible interplay among molecules underlying BC, AD, and diabetes pathology

AB  - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with functional deterioration of the salivary gland and dental pulp, related to oxidative stress. The aim was to integrate experimental and bioinformatic findings to analyze the cellular mechanism of melatonin (MEL) action in the human parotid gland and dental pulp in diabetes. Human parotid gland tissue was obtained from 16 non-diabetic and 16 diabetic participants, as well as human dental pulp from 15 non-diabetic and 15 diabetic participants. In human non-diabetic and diabetic parotid gland cells (hPGCs) as well as in dental pulp cells (hDPCs), cultured in hyper- and normoglycemic conditions, glial cell linederived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), MEL, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein expression, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and spectrophotometrically. Bioinformatic analysis was performed using ShinyGO (v.0.75) application. Diabetic participants had increased GDNF and decreased MEL in parotid (p < 0.01) and dental pulp (p < 0.05) tissues, associated with increased iNOS and SOD activity. Normoglycemic hDPCs and non-diabetic hPGCs treated with 0.1 mM MEL had increased GDNF (p < 0.05), while hyperglycemic hDPCs treated with 1 mM MEL showed a decrease in up-regulated GDNF (p < 0.05). Enrichment analyses showed interference with stress and ATF/CREB signaling. MEL induced the stress-protective mechanism in hyperglycemic hDPCs and diabetic hPGCs, suggesting MEL could be beneficial for diabetes-associated disturbances in oral tissues.

AB  - Hydrogels with oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG), oligo(propylene glycol) (OPG), and for the first time with combined OEG/OPG pendant chains within the methacrylate (MA) network, were synthesized and the swelling behavior, thermal properties, microstructure, and genotoxicity were investigated. Prior to hydrogel fabrication, an optimized method was developed for oligo(propylene glycol) methacrylate (OPGMA), i.e., oligomer with an LCST below a temperature at which synthesis occurs, indicating that proper preparation and tuning of reaction conditions were required. PEG6MA and PPG5MA homopolymers, as well as P(EG6/PG5)MA copolymer hydrogel, were produced by gamma radiation-induced polymerization and crosslinking of OEG and OPG monomers from the monomer-solvent mixture by using different water/ethanol composition as a solvent and by exposing the reaction mixture to various radiation doses. The combination of OEG and OPG pendant chains within the same network was advantageous in that it allowed an easy tuning of the phase transition temperature. Thus, the volume phase transition (VPT) at temperatures above 70 °C observed in the case of PEG6MA, and in the case of PPG5MA at temperatures below 15 °C, could easily be tuned close to physiological temperatures for P(EG6/PG5)MA hydrogel. Finally, all obtained thermoresponsive hydrogels showed non-genotoxic and non-cytotoxic properties, which indicate promising potential for biomedical applications.

AB  - While recognizing the gaps in pesticide regulations that impact consumer safety, public health concerns associated with pesticide contamination of foods are pointed out. The strategies and research directions proposed to prevent and/or reduce pesticide adverse effects on human health and the environment are discussed. Special attention is paid to organophosphate pesticides, as widely applied insecticides in agriculture, veterinary practices, and urban areas. Biotic and abiotic strategies for organophosphate pesticide degradation are discussed from a food safety perspective, indicating associated challenges and potential for further improvements. As food systems are endangered globally by unprecedented challenges, there is an urgent need to globally harmonize pesticide regulations and improve methodologies in the area of food safety to protect human health.

AB  - Time-integrated optical emission analysis of laser-induced plasma on Teflon is presented. Plasma was induced under atmospheric pressure air using transversely excited atmospheric CO2 laser pulses. Teflon is a C-based polymer that is, among other things, interesting as a substrate for laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis of liquid samples. This study aimed to determine the optimal experimental conditions for obtaining neutral and ionized C spectral lines and C2 and CN molecular band emission suitable for spectrochemical purposes. Evaluation of plasma parameters was done using several spectroscopic techniques. Stark profiles of appropriate C ionic lines were used to determine electron number density. The ratio of the integral intensity of ionic-to-atomic C spectral lines was used to determine the ionization temperature. A spectral emission of C2 Swan and CN violet bands system was used to determine the temperature of the colder, peripheral parts of plasma. We critically analyzed the use of molecular emission bands as a tool for plasma diagnostics and suggested methods for possible improvements.

AB  - The heavy metals content (HMs) was investigated in 14 different medicinal plants collected
from the three regions in Central Serbia, Zlatar, Sokobanja, and Kopaonik. The concentrations
of Cd, Cr, Ni, Hg and Pb were determined: Cd (<0.03–2.72 mg/kg); Cr (<0.08–12.1 mg/kg); Ni
(<0.08–12.2 mg/kg); Pb (0.6–49.0 mg/kg); the Hg concentration was below the detection limit of
0.06 mg/kg in all samples. The daily intake of HMs due to ingestion of 200 mL of herbal infusion
was in all cases below the recommended limit prescribed by the World Health Organization. The
estimated daily intake values were below the values for the oral reference dose regulated by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (USA EPA). The target hazard quotient and hazard index for Cd,
Cr Ni, and Pb were below 1. Nevertheless, due to the tendency of heavy metals to accumulate in
the organism, attention should be paid to the daily intake of herbal infusion during long-term usage.
Specifically, it is recommended to consume not more than one cup (200 mL) of infusion per day made
from thyme (Mt. Zlatar) and blueberry (Mt. Kopaonik), and not more than two cups per day for
other herbs.

AB  - Pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLAL) is an approach for the direct synthesis of nanoparticles from the bulk material. In the present work, silver and gold nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using the PLAL technique, and obtained water colloid suspensions were characterized by TEM–EDX, ICP-OES, UV–VIS, and DLS methods. On the other hand, Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a well-recognized and versatile analytical technique for the element analysis of solid samples. However, obtaining improved spectral intensity and detection sensitivity are still great challenging tasks, especially for an alternative and cost-effective LIBS setup based on TEA CO2 laser. Considering these demands, this work aimed to investigate a promising approach to signal enhancement based on the deposition of noble NPs on the plastic sample. The effect of NPS on the enhancement of the LIBS signal has been investigated. LIBS experiments were carried out in air at atmospheric pressure and obtained spectra with a high signal-to-background (SBR) ratio. This study shows that signal enhancement can be achieved followed by the lower limits of detection by increasing the ablation amount rate.

AB  - The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using the originally developed Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) laboratory setup for the qualitative analysis of human tooth tissues and tooth restorations. Plasma was induced by the infrared TEA (Transversally Excited Atmospheric) CO2 laser in the air under atmospheric pressure. Optical emission spectra with sharp and well-resolved spectral lines and a negligibly low background were obtained. The results of the qualitative analysis showed the presence of various elements in the tooth tissues (P, Ca, and Mg), as well as trace elements within restorations such as Zn, Sn, Cu, Ag, and Hg. The estimated temperatures of plasma for composite, dentin, and amalgam were 21,000 K, 16,200 K, and 13,300 K respectively. The electron density deduced from the Stark-broadening line profiles varies from 8.5 × 1017 cm− 3 for amalgam, 2 × 1018 cm− 3 for composite, and 1.9 × 1018 cm− 3 for dentin. The surface of the tooth tissue was imaged with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), showing that dentin contains pores, cavities and bubbles. The results indicated that the alternative and cost-effective LIBS system can be used as a useful tool for further research on laser-induced plasma in dentistry. These insights are useful in the field of laser dentistry, where lasers are commonly utilized to treat teeth. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

AB  - A need for detailed testing of individual monitoring systems used in accredited service at the Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences was recognized following changes in individual, workplace, and environmental monitoring passive dosimetry systems acceptability criteria stated in IEC 62387:2020 and changes related to reference fields used in radiation protection defined in ISO 4037:2019. Reliability and accuracy of dosimetry data acquired by passive dosimetry systems used for individual monitoring is assured by carrying out type tests. In this manner, the effects of different radiation influence quantities are examined. Passive dosimetry systems comprised of an LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100) detector card placed in two different holder models (8814 and 8850) and the Harshaw TLD Model 6600 Plus Automated Reader were tested. Type tests were done in an extended range of photon energies from 40 keV up to 1.25 MeV, angle of incidence values of ±45° and ± 60° for both vertical and horizontal dosimeter orientation, and in the dose range from 0.05 mSv to 1 Sv. Both dosimetry system configurations perform in line with IEC 62387:2020 within mandatory range for tested influence quantities.

abstract = "A need for detailed testing of individual monitoring systems used in accredited service at the Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences was recognized following changes in individual, workplace, and environmental monitoring passive dosimetry systems acceptability criteria stated in IEC 62387:2020 and changes related to reference fields used in radiation protection defined in ISO 4037:2019. Reliability and accuracy of dosimetry data acquired by passive dosimetry systems used for individual monitoring is assured by carrying out type tests. In this manner, the effects of different radiation influence quantities are examined. Passive dosimetry systems comprised of an LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100) detector card placed in two different holder models (8814 and 8850) and the Harshaw TLD Model 6600 Plus Automated Reader were tested. Type tests were done in an extended range of photon energies from 40 keV up to 1.25 MeV, angle of incidence values of ±45° and ± 60° for both vertical and horizontal dosimeter orientation, and in the dose range from 0.05 mSv to 1 Sv. Both dosimetry system configurations perform in line with IEC 62387:2020 within mandatory range for tested influence quantities. Dosimeters that use the 8850 holder type showed less pronounced energy and angular dependence of the response in the low-energy range.",

AB  - Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are a promising route towards the next generation of classical and quantum information technologies. The main challenges before their widespread implementation are achievements of the competitive footprint, speed and number of simultaneous operations. This translates into requirements for miniaturization, broad bandwidth and extensive spatial and wavelength multiplexing. Current PIC designs commonly rely on directional couplers for operations and waveguides for information transfer. However, their miniaturization potential is limited by the trade-off between losses and bend radii in the former case and the crosstalk between densely packed waveguides in the latter case. On the other hand, operationally successful nanophotonic inverse designs are achieved only with substantial time and energy resources per device [1,2]. Here, we present and discuss an innovative solution for design of PICs which utilizes the linear crosstalk between waveguides [3]. We demonstrate construction of interconnects, couplers, interferometers, filters and dichroic splitters [4-6]. As the only fundamental assumption is the linear coupling between waveguides, these designs are applicable to all photonic fabrication platforms. We show components in glass, silicon nitride and silicon-on-insulator, and offer strategies for optimization of their footprint and bandwidth. The concept has been experimentally validated by fabrication of equal power splitters in glass. The optimization capability was proven by the achieved negligible insertion loss, large bandwidth and footprint scalability [7]. The proposed PICs are highly cost effective. Our simple semi-analytical design algorithm ensures efficient design, 20-100 times faster than the competing nanodesigns [1,2], and production realizable by any waveguide fabrication technique. Finally, we show that the quantum walk through the proposed linearly coupled waveguide arrays offers numerous possibilities for exploitation of qudits and construction of quantum logic gates.
