IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 6810: School Memories about Homophobic Bullying: A Study Based on Cultural-Historical Psychology
This study is based on cultural-historical psychology in intersection with gender and sexuality studies. In-depth online interviews were conducted with three young subjects who identified themselves as non-heterosexual. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed through the analytical discourse tool defined as Nuclei of Meanings. The results were organized in two topics of discussion: (a) the problems associated with non-heterosexual identity in schools; (b) the search for other ways of experiencing sexual identity in school. Throughout the article, reflections were held about the challenges participants had t...

Electrochemical biostimulation of aerobic metabolic TCE degradation in a bioaugmentation approach
In this study, a combined bio-/electro-approach to stimulate the TCE degradation by the SF culture was investigated in laboratory experiments. Column experiments were set up to compare a bioaugmentation approach with an electrochemical biostimulated bioaugmentation approach. Low strength direct current increased the amount of degraded TCE to about 150 % of the control. Through lowering the inflow concentration of oxygen, the effect of the electro-biostimulation in a low oxygen setting confirmed the potential of the bio-electro process for treatment of oxygen-deprived, TCE-contaminated sites.PMID:37735338 | DOI:10.1007/s11356-023-29839-1

Study on the formation process and mechanism of aerobic granular sludge in the sequencing batch biofilter granular reactor
This study systematically investigated the formation process and mechanism of aerobic granular sludge in an SBBGR to provide a theoretical basis for optimizing the culture of aerobic granular sludge. Aerobic granular sludge with good performance was successfully cultivated after 40 days of incubation using synthetic wastewater as feed: the mixed liquid suspended solids and mixed liquor volatile suspended solids increased from 3.85 and 1.85 g/L to 31.38 and 24.74 g/L respectively, and the COD, TN, and TP removal efficiencies were 91.21%, 84.99%, and 58.14%, respectively. The experimental results showed that Amoebacteria and...

Association of urinary bisphenols with thyroid function in the general population: a cross-sectional study of an industrial park in China
The objectives of this study are to describe demographic characteristics, BP exposure levels, and thyroid function measurements in potentially exposed and control districts and to investigate the association of urinary BPs with thyroid function. Data were collected from a general population aged 3-79 years (N = 281) recruited by the Zhejiang Human Biomonitoring Program (ZJHBP). The concentrations of 10 kinds of BPs in urine and serum free triiodothyronine (FT3), total triiodothyronine (TT3), free thyroxine (FT4), total thyroxine (TT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroglobulin (Tg), thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb), ...

Adsorptive exclusion of crystal violet dye using barium encapsulated alginate/carbon composites: characterization and adsorption modeling studies
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 22. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29894-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study is devoted to the removal of crystal violet dye using the synthesized barium alginate/carbon composites abbreviated as BA (barium alginate), BAAC (barium alginate/activated carbon), BASC (barium alginate/starch carbon), and BASSC (barium alginate/starch carbon modified with CTAB). The adsorptive removal of crystal violet as a function of contact time, pH of solution, composite dose, initial dye concentration, and temperature was studied. The uptake of crystal violet (CV) dye for the composites was recor...

Impact of green digital finance on green economic recovery and green agricultural development: implications for green environment
This study explores the potential of green digital finance and green agricultural growth to contribute to the green economic recovery of the BRICS economies. We examine the relationship between these variables using empirical data and various statistical techniques, including vector error correction, co-integration, unit root tests and long-run analysis. Our results suggest that well-functioning financial institutions play a crucial role in facilitating the structural transformation of green digital finance and promoting green agricultural growth to achieve green economic recovery in the BRICS region. Our findings undersco...

Phytotoxicity of coal waste elutriates (Douro Coalfield, North Portugal) in Lactuca sativa
This study aims to assess the ecotoxicological effects of 25 soil elutriates from these different soil types in seed germination and individual (emergence, growth, and morphologic alterations) and subindividual parameters in Lactuca sativa. The different evaluated endpoints were differently affected regarding the soil elutriate revealing the high heterogeneity of soil characteristics. The presence of different potentially toxic elements (e.g., Cd, Cr, Pb, Zn) in soil elutriates, even in low concentrations, caused effects on L. sativa development. Unburned coal wastes and downhill soil elutriates were able to inhibit the ge...

Investigation on Methylene Blue Dye Adsorption in Aqueous by the Modified Mussel Shells: Optimization, Kinetic, Thermodynamic and Equilibrium Studies
This study assessed the methylene blue adsorption using natural and modified mussel shell powders in the aqueous solution. The mussel shell samples were processed in a NaClO solution then modified with sodium dodecyl sulfate and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The characteristics of mussel shell samples before and after modification were demonstrated using infared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, energy dispersive X-ray, water contact angle, and dynamic light scattering methods. Some factors such as the pH of the medium, adsorption temperature, and ads...

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane for Malaria and Agricultural Uses and Its Impacts on Human Health
Bull Environ Contam Toxicol. 2023 Sep 20;111(4):45. doi: 10.1007/s00128-023-03789-3.ABSTRACTPesticides are widely used in agriculture and disease control, and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is one of the most used pesticides in human history. Besides its significant contributions in pest control in agriculture, DDT was credited as having saved millions of human lives for controlling malaria and other deadly insect-transmitted diseases. Even today, the use of DDT in some countries for malaria control cannot be replaced without endangering people who live there. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives and r...
