Abstract

Water pollution by hazardous substances, such as heavy metals and industrial chemicals, is a global problem that threatens the sustainability of ecosystems and human health. Early detection of these pollutants is essential to prevent further damage. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ultra-sensitive quantum sensors in detecting pollutants in water at very low concentrations. The method used in this study is laboratory and field experiments, by comparing the performance of quantum sensors and conventional sensors in detecting heavy metals and other chemicals in water. The results show that quantum sensors have a much higher sensitivity compared to conventional sensors, with the ability to detect contaminants up to lower concentrations. Quantum sensors can detect lead (Pb) at 0.1 ppb, while conventional sensors can only detect at 0.4 ppb. In conclusion, quantum sensor technology can provide a more efficient and sensitive solution for water quality monitoring, and it has great potential to be implemented in a wider range of environmental monitoring systems. Further research is needed to overcome cost constraints and improve the integration of these technologies in water monitoring in the field.

Abstract

The emergence of complex, coordinated behavior from local interactions is a fundamental principle in biology, with pattern formation and synchronization being critical to processes like morphogenesis and intercellular signaling. Understanding the underlying nonlinear dynamics that govern this self-organization remains a central challenge in systems biology. This study aimed to develop a unified theoretical framework to investigate the conditions that drive pattern formation versus synchronization in generalized models of cellular communication. We employed a hybrid approach combining analytical methods with extensive numerical simulations of coupled reaction-diffusion and phase-oscillator models. The models incorporated key biological motifs such as activator-inhibitor signaling and time-delayed feedback loops. The results revealed that the interplay between the diffusion rate of signaling molecules and the time delay in the intracellular response is a critical bifurcation parameter. Slow diffusion and short delays favored robust Turing-like pattern formation, while rapid diffusion and longer delays promoted widespread phase synchronizationThis research concludes that cellular collectives can leverage fundamental principles of nonlinear dynamics, specifically the tuning of interaction range and response time, to select between distinct modes of self-organization.

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by cognitive decline and memory loss, primarily caused by the aggregation of amyloid-beta and tau proteins in the brain. Conventional treatments offer limited benefits, emphasizing the need for new therapeutic strategies. To design and evaluate short peptides as targeted protein inhibitors to prevent the aggregation of amyloid-beta and tau proteins, aiming to halt or reverse the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The study employed computational modeling to design peptides, followed by in vitro assays for initial screening, and in vivo tests using transgenic mouse models to assess therapeutic efficacy and safety. Techniques included mass spectrometry, HPLC, and behavioral tests for cognitive function. Designed peptides demonstrated high binding affinity and specificity for amyloid-beta and tau proteins, reducing aggregation by 70% in vitro. In vivo studies showed significant reductions in amyloid plaques and tau tangles, with improved cognitive performance in treated mice. Peptides effectively crossed the blood-brain barrier and accumulated in target brain regions. The findings support the potential of short peptides as a novel therapeutic approach for Alzheimer's disease, warranting further research and clinical trials to validate their efficacy and safety in human subjects.

Abstract

The increasing use of digital tools in education has revolutionized teaching practices, yet comprehensive evidence of their educational impact remains limited. A 2023 UNESCO report reveals that while 78% of classrooms now employ educational technology, only 32% of educators receive sufficient training to implement these tools effectively. This discrepancy emphasizes the importance of examining how technology can truly enhance learning when properly integrated with pedagogical methods. This study investigates the effects of pedagogically-informed technology use on student achievement, identifying the most effective combinations of digital resources and teaching approaches across various educational settings. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research analyzed 185 studies (2018-2023) from major databases, along with classroom observations across 15 nations. Qualitative insights from 250 educators revealed implementation challenges. Three key factors emerged as crucial for success: teacher expertise in technology-enhanced pedagogy (β=0.63), curriculum integration (β=0.57), and student digital competence (β=0.49). The results underscore that meaningful educational technology integration requires deliberate pedagogical design, not merely technological access, highlighting the critical need for professional development focused on pedagogical-technological knowledge.

Abstract

Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) have long been integral to the livelihoods of rural communities, providing essential resources for food, medicine, income, and cultural practices. Despite their importance, the role of NTFPs in improving rural welfare is often underexplored in scientific research. Understanding their contribution is critical for sustainable development and rural poverty alleviation. This study aims to assess the role of NTFPs in the livelihoods of rural populations, exploring their economic, social, and environmental significance. It further seeks to identify the challenges and opportunities surrounding the sustainable use of these resources. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with local communities and quantitative data collection through surveys. Fieldwork was conducted in selected rural areas where NTFPs are a key resource. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Findings reveal that NTFPs significantly contribute to household income, particularly in communities with limited access to formal employment. They also play a vital role in maintaining cultural practices and providing food security. However, overharvesting and inadequate policy frameworks threaten their sustainability. NTFPs are crucial for rural livelihoods, but their continued availability depends on effective management strategies that balance economic needs with environmental conservation. Policy interventions should focus on promoting sustainable harvesting practices and supporting local communities in managing these resources.
