AB  - In this paper we present the concept of a novel
MEMS multisensor instrument for aerodynamic pressure
measurements, and discuss the main aspects of its design.
Designing of such instrument is a complex task, especially because
of high requirements regarding miniaturization, measurement
performance, the number of pressure measurement channels, and
other features. The main goal of the presented work is to address
these requirements in an innovative way. A novel multisensor
chip, which has been designed and fabricated, is an important
step towards further miniaturization and higher measurement
performance of aerodynamic pressure measurement instruments.
Multisensor modules, which contain the multisensor chips and
accompanying connections and circuitry, enable modularity and
reconfigurability of the instrument. The novel hardware
architecture has a separate signal path for each of the pressure
channels, and is capable of synchronous pressure measurement
on all channels. Digital signal processing enables high
measurement performance, and can be used to implement fault
detection capabilities. The final goal of the presented work is to
combine these concepts into a high-performance and innovative
instrument for aerodynamic testing, which is a useful tool for
several scientific and industrial fields.

AB  - In recent years, direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) as renewable energy sources are increasingly considered one of
the most environmentally friendly and promising alternatives for meeting growing energy needs. Although some
DMFC technologies are already commercially available there are still several challenges that need to be improved
for successful commercialization of DMFC. The biggest challenges are how to overcome the high cost of Pt-based
catalysts used in fuel cell reactions, the high catalyst loading required for methanol anodic oxidation reaction,
poisoning of Pt catalysts with CO interemdiers during methanol electro-oxidation, methanol crossover issues, and
most significantly long-term catalyst durability. One of the main reasons for agglomeration and detachment of
platinum nanoparticles from the catalyst support is degradation of the support due to poor oxidation stability, i.e.
non-resistance to electrochemical degradation in extremely difficult conditions in the working environment of fuel
cells. Recent studies have shown that MXenes can be stable and promising support for Pt nanoparticles with
improved reaction kinetics for methanol electro-oxidation reaction. MXenes, a rapidly developing family of twodimensional layered materials, has shown great potential for use in energy conversion and storage technologies
due to its high specific surface area, good resistance to electrochemical corrosion, strong interaction with metal
support and also enhanced electrical conductivity. For this reason, MXenes may find use as a catalyst support
material for anode processes in fuel cells. This is mainly contributed by the composition of MXenes since they have
various functional groups and metal nitride or metal carbonitride materials. The chemical formula of MXenes is
Mn+1XnTn, where M represents transition metals, X represents C/N and T represents chemical functional groups such
as –OH, -O, and –F groups on the MXene surface.
In this research, platinum nanoparticles deposited on MXenes were synthesized by the microwave-assisted polyol
method. The electrochemical behaviour of the synthesized catalyst was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, the
electro-oxidation of adsorbed CO, and hronoamperometric method. The physicochemical properties of prepared
catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The high
catalytic activity of the Pt/MX catalyst was achieved thanks to the well-balanced conditions of the microwave
synthesis, as well as the choice of MXene as the catalyst support.

AB  - Recent years indicate a significant increase in interest in MXene-based composite hybrid
nanostructures because of their potential uses as catalyst supports for enhanced electrochemical
performance in direct alcohol fuel cells. MXenes are a new family of 2D materials with the general
formula of Mn+1XnTn, where M represents transition metals, X represents C/N and T represents
chemical functional groups such as –OH, -O, and –F groups on the MXene surface. They possess
high specific surface area, good resistance to electrochemical corrosion, strong interaction with
metal support i.e. large redox-active surface area, exceptional mechanical properties, rich surface
chemistries and enhanced electrical conductivity. All these qualities make them good candidates as
catalyst support material for anode processes in fuel cells. In this study, we present an approach for
successfully synthesizing platinum nanocatalysts with MXenes as support. Toward this goal,
Pt/MXene catalyst will be synthesised by the microwave-assisted polyol method. The electrochemical
behavior of the synthesized catalyst was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, the electro-oxidation of
adsorbed CO, and the chronoamperometry method. The physicochemical properties of prepared
catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy
(XPS). The high catalytic activity of the Pt/MX catalyst for the methanol electrooxidation reaction
and good electrochemical stability was achieved thanks to thoroughly balanced conditions during
the microwave synthesis, as well as by choosing MXene as the catalyst support.

AB  - Over the last decades, bacterial resistance has become one of the emerging health threats. Particularly dangerous
are bacterial strains resistant to various antibacterial drugs. Herein, we modified graphene quantum dots (GQDs)
to produce efficient photo-induced antibacterial agents. GQDs were modified with (a) ethylene-diamine (EDA),
(b) with EDA and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and (c) 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (TA) using carbodiimide coupling.
Photo-induced antibacterial activity of modified GQDs was tested against 8 bacterial strains. Treatment with
modified GQDs and blue light (wavelength of 470 nm) resulted in remarkable antibacterial activity with minimal
inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 7.81 μg mL -1 for K. pneumoniae and S. aureus and 3.9 μg mL-1 against MRSA
and E. faecalis. Planar organization of GQDs functionalized with AuNPs allowed direct access of molecular oxygen
to AuNPs leading to more efficient 1O2 production as well as the 1O2 production from excited GQDs. Thus,
GQDs functionalized with AuNPs showed outstanding efficiency in the battle against several bacterial strains,
particularly those that lead to nosocomial infections.

AB  - Fluoride and nitrate contamination in groundwater is a global concern due to their toxicity and associated negative health effects. This study incorporated a comprehensive methodology, including hydrogeochemical analysis, drinking and irrigation water quality assessment, source apportionment, and health risk estimation of groundwater fluoride and nitrate in a lithium ore deposit basin in western Serbia. Groundwater major ion hydrogeochemistry was governed by water–rock interactions, with Ca-Mg-HCO3 identified as the predominant groundwater type. The entropy-weighted water quality index (EWQI), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), and sodium percentage (%Na) revealed that 95% of the samples were of excellent to good quality for both drinking and irrigation. Moreover, the results showed that fluorides were of geogenic origin, whereas nitrates originated from agricultural activities. Although the fluoride and nitrate levels in groundwater were relatively low, averaging 1.0 mg/L and 11.1 mg/L, respectively, the results of the health risk assessment revealed that the ingestion of such groundwater can still lead to non-cancerous diseases. The threshold of one for the hazard index was exceeded in 15% and 35% of the samples for adults and children, respectively. Children were more vulnerable to non-carcinogenic risk, with fluorides being the primary contributing factor. The study outcomes can serve as a reference for other lithium-bearing ore areas and guide the management of regional groundwater resources.

AB  - The stalks left after harvesting corn, tomatoes, and tobacco have no
further use and are usually burned on agricultural land. In our work samples of
this waste were collected and pyrolyzed at 400 ℃ for 30 min in a nitrogen
atmosphere. The solid residue (biochar) obtained by pyrolysis was analyzed,
and the results were compared with widely used solid fuels such as wood, coal,
coke and charcoal. The heat values of biochar from tomato, tobacco, corn ZP
6263, and corn BC 398 stalks were 24.12, 23.09, 26.24 and 25.78 MJ kg-1, respectively.
These values are significantly higher than the heat value of wood,
which is about 12.50 MJ kg-1. The ash content of biochar was 12–20 %, which
is consistent with the ash content of solid fuels. No heavy metals were found in
biochar samples. The results show that biochar obtained from the pyrolysis of
agricultural waste, such as tomatoes, tobacco and corn stalks, has good potential
for use as a solid fuel.

abstract = "The stalks left after harvesting corn, tomatoes, and tobacco have no
further use and are usually burned on agricultural land. In our work samples of
this waste were collected and pyrolyzed at 400 ℃ for 30 min in a nitrogen
atmosphere. The solid residue (biochar) obtained by pyrolysis was analyzed,
and the results were compared with widely used solid fuels such as wood, coal,
coke and charcoal. The heat values of biochar from tomato, tobacco, corn ZP
6263, and corn BC 398 stalks were 24.12, 23.09, 26.24 and 25.78 MJ kg-1, respectively.
These values are significantly higher than the heat value of wood,
which is about 12.50 MJ kg-1. The ash content of biochar was 12–20 %, which
is consistent with the ash content of solid fuels. No heavy metals were found in
biochar samples. The results show that biochar obtained from the pyrolysis of
agricultural waste, such as tomatoes, tobacco and corn stalks, has good potential
for use as a solid fuel., Стабљике које остају након жетве кукуруза и дувана, као и брања парадајза,
немају даљу употребу и обично се спаљују на пољопривредном земљишту. У
нашем раду узорци овог отпада су прикупљени и пиролизовани на 400 ℃ у атмо-
сфери азота током 30 min. Анализиран је чврсти остатак (биоугаљ) добијен пиро-

AB  - This composite study presents detailed instructions on the applicability of the results of a sequential extraction method (SE), coupled with statistical analyses, a Secondary Phase Enrichment Factor (Kspef), risk assessment indices, and, for the first time, the Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA). The study gives important data on the current risk of mobility of the elements
and the methodology of appropriate measures before establishing an effective mitigation strategy and predicting the risk of mobility after changing environmental conditions, such as the harmful effects of ongoing climate change. The combination of techniques is used to assess the origin and contamination level of potentially toxic elements in the roadside agricultural soil impacted by traffic at Highway E75 (Serbia). The results show that B, Ni, Co, V, Ba, Cr, As, and Mo at most localities are of natural origin, sourced by a protracted decomposition of the geological matrix. Cu, Zn, Pb, Hg, Sb, and Cd have natural and anthropogenic origins (traffic and agricultural activities). Ba has the highest bio/geoavailability and belongs to the group of elements with a higher environmental risk. Groups with a moderate environmental risk include the elements As, Cd, Co, Ni, and V. A moderate to high-risk level of contamination of the soils with Pb, Cu, Zn, Sb, and Hg is  documented exclusively at particular localities. The results of SE, coupled with the CIA coefficient, are applicable to predict the processes of chemical alteration of the mineral components of soils, including evaluating a degree of natural soil contamination.

AB  - The widespread abuse of traditional antibiotics has led to a global rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which give in return unprecedented health risks. Therefore, there is a large and urgent need for the development of new, smart antibacterial agents able to efficiently kill or inhibit bacterial growth. In this study, we investigated the antibacterial activity of S, N-doped Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) as a light-triggered antibacterial agent. Gamma irradiation was employed as a tool to achieve one-step modification of GQDs in the presence of L-cysteine amino acid as a source of heteroatoms. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), nuclear magnetic 
resonance (NMR), and zeta potential measurements provided the necessary data to clarify the structure of modified dots and verify the introduction of both S- and N-atoms in GQDs structure, but also severe changes in the aromatic, sp2 domains. Namely, γ-irradiation caused a bonding of S atoms in 1.14 at.% mainly as thiol groups, and N in 1.81 at.% as amino groups, but sp2 contribution in GQD structure was lowered from 63.00 to 4.86 at.%, as measured in dots irradiated at a dose of 200 kGy. Fluorescence quenching measurements showed that L-cysteine-modified dots are able to bind to human serum albumin. The antibacterial activity of GQDs 
combined with 1 and 6 h of blue light (470 nm) irradiation was tested against 8 bacterial strains. GQD-cys-25 sample provided the best results, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) as low as 125 μg/mL against S. aureus, E. faecalis, and E. coli after only 1 h of blue light exposure.

AB  - The widespread usage of the herbicide glyphosate calls for urgent action, aiming at the development of new, 
simple, low-cost, and eco-friendly detection approaches. In the last decade, investigation of graphene quantum 
dots (GQDs) as potential optical probes for various pollutants rapidly grew, thanks to their easy-manipulative 
structure, remarkable photoluminescence (PL) in the visible part of the spectrum, good dispersibility, biocom patibility, and non-toxicity, as well. Herein, a fast, simple, and environmentally friendly method for GQDs 
structural modification is presented. GQDs raw powder was exposed to γ- rays at three different doses (100, 200, 
and 300 kGy) in air, without any solvent or reagents. Irradiation of dots under such affordable conditions led to 
the additional incorporation of oxygen-containing moieties in the GQD structure. For the first time, oxygen-rich 
GQDs irradiated at a 300 kGy dose were successfully applied as direct turn-off PL probe for glyphosate detection. 
The high coefficient of determination (R-squared (R2
) = 0.99) and very low limit of detection (3.02 μmol L-1) 
reveal good linearity between the potential sensor and analyte, as well as sensitivity. Glyphosate was successfully 
detected in celery samples, with a recovery value of 107 ± 0.85%. To evaluate the biological safety of the 
proposed sensing probe, [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] (MTT) and the hemo lysis assays were performed. Obtained results show that irradiated and non-irradiated GQDs did not cause the 
death of MRC-5 cells, and hemolysis of erythrocytes. The obtained results demonstrate that GQDs irradiated in an 
air medium can be potentially applied for glyphosate detection.

AB  - The specimens were made using an additive technology. Polyethylene terephthalate glycol
(PETG) filament was used as the primary material. Three series with nine different printing
specimens (different printing parameters) were made. The Vickers microhardness (HV) of all
specimens was tested. The temperature treatments of specimens were done in a mold with NaCl
powder (230°C, 30 min), and in a chamber at low temperature (-200 °C, 30 cycles). It was
observed that the HV values oscillated, depending on the printing parameters, temperature
treatment, and locations. The microhardness was slightly higher on the bottom surface of the
specimens than on the top surface. For untreated specimens, the average microhardness measured
on the top and bottom surfaces was between 10.2 and 12.6 HV. For specimens treated in mold
with NaCl powder, changes in geometry were observed, together with an increased
microhardness of 11.0 to 13.5 HV. The treatment in a chamber at low temperature induced a
decrease in microhardness, and the values were in the range of 9.0-9.5 HV. It is commonly
recognized that the microstructural alterations in amorphous polymers are directly correlated with
microhardness. In this connection, the basic idea is to show treatments that can significantly
improve/degrade the mechanical properties of this material in daily use.

were firstly designed. The drying velocity was fixed to 3 m/s in all experiments. The drying
temperature and humidity were hold at 400C and 60% in the first drying regime. These
parameters were raised for 100C and 10% in each following experiment. Eight thin-layer models,
including the new one, was used. The non-linear regression analysis was applied for fitting the
experimental data. The lumped approach is relatively new and it assumes that different drying
mechanisms which affects the internal moisture transport are combined and presented in a form
of the effective diffusivity constant. The lumped modelling approach has retained and reused the
form of the Crack’s diffusion equation with only one update. The pure diffusion coefficient was
replaced with the effective one. Since the effective moisture diffusivity can vary with time the
most advanced lumped models are taking this into account by defining the relationship between
the effective diffusivity coefficient and the Fourier number. This model was adopted in this paper. Results have shown that the best thin layer model was the new one. It was found that this
model has up to 5 % deviation from the experimentally registered data at the beginning of the
first drying segment. The lumped model was deviating from the experimental data for only 2%.
This was another confirmation that the conjugation degree in thin layer modelling is lower than in
the case of the lumped approach. This means that thin layer model application is actually very
limited, especially for porous materials which predominantly shrinks during drying, due to
theoretical assumptions which simplifies the boundary conditions for which the equations were
originally developed.

AB  - Environmental context: Mitigating the environmental fallout of industrial accidents is crucial. In a recent study, researchers conducted tests on model substrates to explore the effectiveness of bioremediation in treating complex refinery contaminants resulting from both accidental and deliberate facility damage. The research reveals that bioremediation can be a promising, eco-friendly solution for cleaning up such pollutants, aligning with broader efforts to combat environmental harm resulting from industrial incidents.

Rationale: Bioremediation harnesses microorganisms’ diverse metabolic abilities to detoxify and eliminate pollutants, particularly hydrocarbon-based ones such as oil. This natural biodegradation process performed by microorganisms is a cost-effective method for environmental cleanup compared to other remediation technologies.

Methodology: In this study, we examined the fate of heavy metals, cobalt and molybdenum, by the analysis of the basic chemical parameters of other sample components, such as n-hexane extractable substances and total petroleum hydrocarbons. The metal content was determined using inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Exchangeable (loosely bound to the surface of particles and due to its high mobility and availability is crucial for understanding the potential immediate impact of metal contamination) and more stable fractions of the metal and the metal forms were determined using a sequential extraction method. The phase composition of the samples was determined by X-ray diffraction.

Results: In our microbiological analysis, we isolated various cultures from a consortium of microorganisms. Basic chemical analysis indicators, such as n-hexane extractable substances, total petroleum hydrocarbons and humic acids, reflected robust microbiological activity. During the study, metals in exchangeable form decreased and those in more stable forms increased.

Discussion: The sequential extraction of cobalt and molybdenum revealed shifts in various metal fractions within the bioaugmented substrate post-bioremediation, differing from the initial substrate. These alterations in metal fractions are likely attributable to microbial actions, leading to the formation of more stable metal fractions throughout the bioremediation process.

AB  - A majority of the new chemical entities (NCE) that emerged as potential drug candidates in pharmaceutical development during the past 2-3 decades are practically insoluble solids consisting of ionizable molecules. Class II BCS drugs (Biopharmaceutics Classification System) exhibit poor bioavailability due to insufficient absorption in the gastrointestinal tract with slow drug release from the dosage forms and low solubility as the limiting steps for their absorption. Thus, detailed and precise study of compound solubility and the possibilities to increase solubility and dissolution rate, are at the core of the development of bioavailable drug dosage forms and clinically effective pharmaceutical products that would dissolve in gastric and intestinal fluids after oral administration or not precipitate in the blood after intravenous administration. A white paper on consensus recommendations for improving data quality in equilibrium solubility measurement of ionizable drugs emphasizes the importance of precise solubility measurements. As a part of solubility studies of a group of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) we have shown the influence of competing counterions, such as buffering agents, complexing agents, salt coformers, tonicity adjusters, and solid-phase transformations on the aqueous solubility of studied drugs.

AB  - The degradation of sediments in urban environments worldwide is driven by population growth, urbanization, and industrialization, highlighting the need for thorough quality assessment and management strategies. As a result of these anthropogenic activities, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and styrene (BTEXS) are persistently released into the environment, polluting sediment. This study employed self-organizing maps (SOMs), positive matrix factorization (PMF), and Monte Carlo simulation of source-oriented health risks to comprehensively investigate sediment in an urban shallow lake in a mid-sized city in central Serbia. The results indicated a mean ∑BTEXS concentration of 225 µg/kg, with toluene as the dominant congener, followed by m,p-xylene, benzene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, and styrene. Three contamination sources were identified: waste solvents and plastic waste due to intensive recreational activities, and vehicle exhaust from heavy traffic surrounding the lake. Both non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks were below the permissible limits. However, children were more susceptible to health risks. Benzene from vehicle exhaust is the most responsible for non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks in both population groups. The results of this study can help researchers to find a suitable perspective on the dynamics and impacts of BTEXS in lake sediments.

AB  - This study employed 1D numerical pseudo models to examine the Upper Jurassic carbonate succession, focusing on the Mikulov Formation in the Vienna Basin region. It addresses the protracted and complex history of the Jurassic source rock play, revealing a transition from rapid syn-rift (>200 m/Ma) to slower post-rift sedimentation/subsidence of the overlying layers during extensional deformation (up to 120 m/Ma with a thickness of 1300 m). This provides valuable insights into the rift-to-drift stage of the central Alpine Tethys margin. The Mikulov marls exhibit characteristics of a post-rift passive margin with slow sedimentation rates. However, a crustal stretching analysis using syn-rift heat flow sensitivity suggested that thermal extension of the basement alone cannot fully explain the mid-Jurassic syn-rift stage in this segment of the Alpine Tethys. The sensitivity analysis showed that the mid-late Jurassic differential syn-rift sequences were exposed to slightly cooler temperatures than the crustal stretching model predicted. Heat flow values below 120 mW/m2 aligned with measurements from deeply settled Mesozoic successions, suggesting cold but short gravity-driven subsidence. This may account for the relatively low thermal maturation of the primary source rock interval identified by the time-chart analysis, despite the complex tectonic history and considerable sedimentary burial. The post-Mesozoic changes in the compaction trend are possibly linked to the compressional thrusting of the Alpine foreland and postdating listric faulting across the Vienna Basin.

AB  - Lab-made biosilica (SiO2) nanoparticles were obtained from waste biomass (rice husks) and used as eco-friendly fillers in the production of nickel matrix composite films via the co-electrodeposition technique. The produced biosilica nanoparticles were characterized using XRD, FTIR, and FE-SEM/EDS. Amorphous nano-sized biosilica particles with a high SiO2 content were obtained. Various current regimes of electrodeposition, such as direct current (DC), pulsating current (PC), and reversing current (RC) regimes, were applied for the fabrication of Ni and Ni/SiO2 films from a sulfamate electrolyte. Ni films electrodeposited with or without 1.0 wt.% biosilica nanoparticles in the electrolyte were characterized using FE-SEM/EDS (morphology/elemental analyses, roundness), AFM (roughness), Vickers microindentation (microhardness), and sheet resistance. Due to the incorporation of SiO2 nanoparticles, the Ni/SiO2 films were coarser than those obtained from the pure sulfamate electrolyte. The addition of SiO2 to the sulfamate electrolyte also caused an increase in the roughness and electrical conductivity of the Ni films. The surface roughness values of the Ni/SiO2 films were approximately 44.0%, 48.8%, and 68.3% larger than those obtained for the pure Ni films produced using the DC, PC, and RC regimes, respectively. The microhardness of the Ni and Ni/SiO2 films was assessed using the Chen-Gao (C-G) composite hardness model, and it was shown that the obtained Ni/SiO2 films had a higher hardness than the pure Ni films. Depending on the applied electrodeposition regime, the hardness of the Ni films increased from 29.1% for the Ni/SiO2 films obtained using the PC regime to 95.5% for those obtained using the RC regime, reaching the maximal value of 6.880 GPa for the Ni/SiO2 films produced using the RC regime.

Depending on the applied electrodeposition regime, the hardness of the Ni films increased from 29.1% for the Ni/SiO2 films obtained using the PC regime to 95.5% for those obtained using the RC regime, reaching the maximal value of 6.880 GPa for the Ni/SiO2 films produced using the RC regime.",

AB  - Alzheimer’s disease is age-related multifactorial neurodegenerative disease manifested by gradual loss of memory, cognitive decline and changes in personality. Due to rapid and continuous growth of its prevalence, the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease calls for development of new and efficacies drugs, especially those that could be able to simultaneously act on more than one of possible targets of action. Aminoquinolines have proven to be a highly promising structural scaffold in the design of such a drug as cholinesterases and β-secretase 1 inhibitors. In this study, we synthesised twenty-two new 4-aminoquinolines with different halogen atom and its position in the terminal N-benzyl group or with a trifluoromethyl or a chlorine as C(7)-substituents on the quinoline moiety. All compounds were evaluated as multi-target-directedligands by determining their inhibition potency towards human acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase and β-secretase 1. All of the tested derivatives were very potent inhibitors of human acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase with inhibition constants (Ki) in the nM to low μM range. Most were estimated to be able to cross the blood–brain barrier by passive transport and were nontoxic toward cells that represented the main models of individual organs.

AB  - This composite study presents detailed instructions on the applicability of the results of a sequential extraction method (SE),
coupled with statistical analyses, a Secondary Phase Enrichment Factor (Kspef), risk assessment indices, and, for the first
time, the Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA). The study gives important data on the current risk of mobility of the elements
and the methodology of appropriate measures before establishing an effective mitigation strategy and predicting the risk of
mobility after changing environmental conditions, such as the harmful effects of ongoing climate change. The combination of
techniques is used to assess the origin and contamination level of potentially toxic elements in the roadside agricultural soil
impacted by traffic at Highway E75 (Serbia). The results show that B, Ni, Co, V, Ba, Cr, As, and Mo at most localities are of
natural origin, sourced by a protracted decomposition of the geological matrix. Cu, Zn, Pb, Hg, Sb, and Cd have natural and
anthropogenic origins (traffic and agricultural activities). Ba has the highest bio/geoavailability and belongs to the group of
elements with a higher environmental risk. Groups with a moderate environmental risk include the elements As, Cd, Co, Ni,
and V. A moderate to high-risk level of contamination of the soils with Pb, Cu, Zn, Sb, and Hg is documented exclusively at
particular localities. The results of SE, coupled with the CIA coefficient, are applicable to predict the processes of chemical
alteration of the mineral components of soils, including evaluating a degree of natural soil contamination.

AB  - A modified reverse co-precipitation method using glacial acetic acid to synthesize α-Bi2O3
structures is presented. The formation of an almost pure rod-like α- Bi2O3 microstructure was
confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning and transmission electron microscopy
analyses. A glassy carbon paste (GCP) electrode was modified with the obtained material in aim
of development of an electrochemical sensor for acetaminophen (APAP) detection using
differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Cyclic voltammetry revealed better performance of the
GCP@Bi2O3 electrode in comparison to the bare GCP. The prepared GCP@Bi2O3 sensor
successfully detected APAP in the linear concentration range from 0.05 to 12.00 μM, with the
limit of quantification (LOQ) and the limit of detection (LOD) of 36 nM and 10 nM, respectively.
Furthermore, the designed sensor showed pronounced precision, repeatability, and selectivity
toward APAP detection. The GCP@Bi2O3 sensor and associated DPV method demonstrated high
accuracy, precision, and practical utility for real-time APAP quantification in pharmaceutical
products like Caffetin®. A comparison of declared and measured APAP levels revealed excellent
recovery rates, with minimal impact from other formulation components.

AB  - Metals and metal oxides have subpar antibacterial activities compared to those of small-molecule antibiotics, yet there are hopes that with proper compositional and structural adjustments this gap might be bridged. In this study, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were mechanically activated and combined with particulate silver through simple reduction process elicited by UV irradiation and assisted with the ultrasound. The resulting powders in various combinations (Ag vs. no Ag, activated vs. non-activated) were characterized using a range of experimental techniques and assessed for their antibacterial activities. The preparation procedure presented in this work prevails over the disadvantages of many chemical routes, most critically by avoiding the use of toxic substances. The mechanical activation did not reduce the particle size or crystallinity of TiO2 nor did it consistently alter the bandgap, yet it enabled the doubling of the amount of silver incorporable into the material. Further, while both mechanical activation and the addition of silver in the amount not exceeding 0.5 wt% produced barely detectable structural changes in the material, they both augmented its antibacterial activity. The precursor TiO2 powder produced no inhibition zone against any of the four bacterial species tested, while the mechanical activation of TiO2 led to the formation of distinct inhibition zones against each of the four bacterial species tested. The addition of silver to activated TiO2 further widened the inhibition zones and it also imparted the antibacterial activity to non-activated TiO2. The boost in the antibacterial activity achieved by the short mechanical activation was of a similar magnitude as the boost obtained after the addition of silver. The antibacterial activity was not different for different species when no silver was added to the system. However, with the addition of silver, species selectivity was obtained, as the composites were more effective against the two Gram-negative species (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) than against the two Gram-positive ones (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis). The antibacterial activity increased with the addition of silver in the broth assay, but it was mediocre compared to that detected in the agar assay, attesting to the poor dispersability of the powders and their best performance when the bacterial cells migrate to the composite surface than vice versa. The findings of this study give hope that with appropriate microstructural or compositional alterations, the antibacterial activity of metal oxide powders and inorganic materials in general can be made comparable to that of small-molecule antibiotics.

AB  - Mercury emissions represent a significant risk to the environment and human health. Mercury is persistent and
can circulate in the environment for thousands of years, which is why treating this toxic metal is important.
Chitosan polymer is easily obtainable, and it has good mercury adsorption characteristics. This study aimed to
improve its capabilities to absorb mercury by immobilizing phycobiliproteins (PBPs) onto the surface of chitosan
beads (chitosan–PBPs). Phycobiliproteins, light-harvesting proteins from algae and cyanobacteria, have several
industrially essential applications. These proteins can bind heavy metals with high affinities. Protein extracts
obtained from both Arthrospira platensis, with C-phycocyanin (C-PC) as the primary protein, and Porphyra
yezoensis, with R-phycocyanin (R-PC) and R-phycoerythrin (R-PE) as the dominant PBPs, were covalently
immobilized onto chitosan beads. Beads with immobilized PBPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy
and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Binding analysis showed that, on average, each chitosan
bead weighed 20 mg and immobilized 63.54 μg of PBPs from Spirulina and 44.12 μg of PBPs from Porphyra.
Immobilized proteins were still in their native state, with no visible color change months after immobilization.
Chitosan–PBPs and chitosan alone were tested for mercury adsorption at pH 4 and pH 7 by atomic absorption
spectroscopy. The tested concentration range of mercury was from 1 to 70 ppm. Affinity, calculated using
Henry’s binding isotherm, of chitosan–PBPs for mercury was twice as much higher at both pH values than
chitosan alone. Furthermore, chitosan-PBP beads were able to absorb more mercury than chitosan alone. These
results showed that the covalent immobilization of PBPs onto chitosan improves its mercury adsorption characteristics
and creates a more efficient eco-friendly adsorbent to potentially remove mercury ions in the tested
concentration range from polluted waters.

AB  - This study employed a novel synthetic approach involving a modified reverse co-precipitation method utilizing glacial acetic acid to synthesize α-Bi2O3. X-ray powder diffraction and scanning and transmission electron microscopy analyses revealed the formation of a rod-like α-Bi2O3 microstructure. The prepared material was utilized to modify a glassy carbon paste (GCP) electrode for the development of an electrochemical sensor for acetaminophen (APAP) detection using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Cyclic voltammetry studies revealed that the GCP@Bi2O3 electrode exhibited enhanced electrochemical properties compared to the bare GCP. The designed GCP@Bi2O3 sensor detected APAP in the linear concentration range from 0.05 to 12.00 µM, with LOQ and LOD of 36 nM and 10 nM, respectively. Additionally, the developed sensor demonstrated sufficient precision, repeatability, and selectivity toward APAP detection. The recovery values between the declared and found APAP content in a pharmaceutical formulation (Caffetin®) displayed the advantageous accuracy, precision, and applicability of the GCP@Bi2O3 sensor and the developed DPV method for real-time APAP detection in pharmaceuticals, with minimal interference from the matrix effect.

AB  - The present study has dealt with the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of
cobalt-ferrite (CoFe2O4) and cobalt-ferrite in amorphous silica matrix (CoFe2O4/SiO2) prepared
by thermal decomposition of appropriate acetylacetonate complexes. The synthesized
materials were characterized with the use of X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), scanning
electron microscopy (SEM), electron dispersive spectrum (EDS) and transmission electron
microscopy (TEM). The presence of a single-phase cubic spinel structure was confirmed for both
investigated powders. The synthesized particles are highly agglomerated as a consequence of
their nanometric sizes and ferrimagnetic nature. The microstructure of the composite indicated
spongy porous clusters with less pronounced agglomeration than that of bare cobalt-ferrite.
Closer inspection of the EDS map revealed that the CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were homogeneously
dispersed over the silica matrix. The pure CoFe2O4 sample consisted of spherically shaped
agglomerates with the primary particles being evidently in the sub-100 nm range and mostly
polygonal in shape. Magnetic measurements were conducted using a SQUID magnetometer.
The introduction of a silica matrix led to a slight decrease in coercivity at room temperature.
The saturation magnetization value for CoFe2O4 was about 75 emu/g at ambient conditions. As
expected, the silica matrix strongly influenced the magnetization of the material (⁓7.7 emu/g).
The obtained results show the perspective for possible applications in various technological
areas.

AB  - The aim of this study was to investigate the magnetic properties of novel ε-Fe2O3/SiO2
composites prepared by the microemulsion method followed by programmed annealing
treatment. The reverse micelle approach was applied using heptane and hexanol as the oil
phase, respectively. The resulting powders were characterized using a range of experimental
techniques and assessed for their magnetic properties. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD)
revealed pure ε-Fe2O3 alongside amorphous SiO2 in both cases. The nanometric nature of
ε-Fe2O3 particles uniformly incorporated into the SiO2 matrix was confirmed by Scanning and
Transmission Electron Microscopy (SEM and TEM). As a result of appropriate annealing
treatment, the obtained materials possessed high coercivity values. The findings of this study
give hope that with appropriate synthesis alterations, pure ε-Fe2O3 with superior magnetic
properties can be obtained which opens the way for its successful applications in technology.
