Abstract

Littoral zone often face environmental pressure due to anthropogenic activities, which can impact the quality of their ecosystem. This study analyzes the concentrations of copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) in sediments and benthic (Anadara granosa and Cerithidea cingulata). Sampling procedures were implemented during September 2022 across the aquatic habitats of Sembilang National Park, in South Sumatra Province, using the purposive sampling method. Sediment grain size and substrate type were analyzed using Shepard’s triangle. Metal detection using a spectrophotometric method based on atomic absorption. The results showed that the sediment fraction mostly consisted of clay, ranging from 92.03% to 94%. Cu concentrations in the sediment ranged from 5.01±0.017 to 5.71±0 mg/kg, while Pb concentrations ranged from 10.5±0.195 to 11.51±0.395 mg/kg. In the benthic, Cu concentrations ranged from 0.0037±0.00005773 to 0.0147±0.00000346 mg/kg, and Pb concentrations ranged from 0.0001±0.000227 to 0.005±0 mg/kg. According to the statistical evaluation testing via independent sample t-test showed that heavy metals differed significantly (p <0.05) between sediment and benthic compartments. These results show that the environmental quality in Sembilang National Park is still comparatively well maintained and within current quality requirements, despite certain activities that have the potential to pollute the environment. To guarantee the long-term viability of this area, it is advised that environmental quality be frequently monitored as a mitigation action.

Abstract

The development of single-crystal NCM622 cathodes remains a key focus in lithium-ion battery research due to their stable structure and cycling performance. This study explores the impact of controlled gas environments on particle nucleation and growth, particularly under different nitrogen-to-air (N₂:air) ratios. The optimized condition, Hydroxide precursor (HP)-2.5 and Single crystal cathode (SC)-2.5 (N₂:air = 2.4:0.2 during nucleation up to 2.5 μm, followed by N₂:air = 2.4:0 for growth up to 5 μm), facilitates the formation of well-structured particles with a core-shell morphology. This structure enhances sintering efficiency, leading to the successful formation of single-crystal NCM622. Electrochemical evaluations reveal that SC-2.5 exhibits excellent cycling stability, with an initial discharge capacity of 168.48 mAh/g and a retention of 134.81 mAh/g after 100 cycles. The capacity retention of 86.32% and Coulombic efficiency of 99.32% indicate minimal degradation and strong electrochemical stability. These findings highlight the importance of controlled synthesis conditions in optimizing lithium-ion battery cathodes for high-performance energy storage applications.

Abstract

This study investigates the corrosion resistance of Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steel in a lead environment, which is crucial for Lead-Cooled Fast Reactors (LFR), a type of Generation IV nuclear reactor. To improve corrosion resistance, two types of oxides-yttrium oxide (Y2O3) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2)-were added individually and in combination to the ODS steel. The samples were synthesized via powder metallurgy and characterized using optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), and Vickers hardness testing. Corrosion testing was conducted in static liquid lead at 550°C for 75 hours. The results showed that the addition of Y2O3 and ZrO2 significantly refines grain structure, increases hardness, and promotes the formation of stable, protective oxide layers. Particularly, the dual-oxide (Y2O3+ ZrO2) sample exhibited the most uniform and effective oxide barrier, indicating improved resistance to lead corrosion. These findings demonstrate that dual-oxide dispersion is a promising strategy for improving the durability of structural materials in LFR applications.

Abstract

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder driven by oxidative stress and immune dysregulation, often exacerbated by prolonged non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use. Conventional therapies provide symptomatic relief but are limited by severe adverse effects, necessitating safer alternatives. Channa striata (snakehead fish) is a rich source of albumin, essential amino acids, and bioactive compounds with potential immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. This study investigates the therapeutic efficacy of purified Channa striata albumin extract in an indomethacin-induced IBD rat model. Albumin was isolated via ammonium sulfate precipitation and characterized by SDS-PAGE, antioxidant activity (DPPH assay), and amino acid profiling. Rats were treated with Channa striata albumin (100-300 mg/kg BW) for 14 days post-indomethacin induction. Compared to controls and diclofenac-treated groups, the extract significantly reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (up to 90.69%), improved jejunal histoarchitecture, and enhanced occludin expression. Immunohistochemistry showed a marked reduction in CD4+T cell infiltration, indicating immunomodulatory activity. These findings establish Channa striata albumin as a potent natural antioxidant and immunomodulator, offering a safer alternative to NSAIDs for IBD management.

Abstract

Elevated oxidative stress and glycation give to the enhancement of degenerative condition such as diabetes and heart disease. Herbal extracts such as Apium graveolens, Centella asiatica, and Orthosiphon stamineus possess well-documented antioxidant and anti-glycation properties. However, their therapeutic effectiveness is measured by poor bioavailability, highlighting the need for innovative formulations. Nanotechnology presents a indicative of success approach by improving the solubility and distribution of active compounds. This study developed a nanopolymeric formulation by combining extracts of Apium graveolens, Centella asiatica, and Orthosiphon stamineus utilizing the ionic gelation method by chitosan, NaTPP, and Tween 80. The nanoparticles were characterized based on particle size, PDI, zeta capability, TEM, and FTIR. In vitro assays utilizing peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were conducted to analyze antioxidant activity through Nrf2 and GST expression, and anti-glycation capability by measuring AGEs. The nanopolyherbal particles had an average size of 186 ± 46.81 nm, by a PDI of 0.434 ± 0.04 and a zeta capability of -29.69 ± 1.54 mV. Both 1% and 3% nanopolyherbal treatments increased Nrf2 stages (66.77 ± 7.65 and 63.13 ± 2.75, respectively) and GST stages (87.97 ± 49.48 and 73.57 ± 4.61) compared to the control group (Nrf2: 54.1 ± 1.0; GST: 68.93 ± 2.28). The nanopolyherbal formulation also significantly decreased AGE itemion (1%: 1075.67 ± 107.51; 3%: 813.33 ± 117.05) compared to the control (1497.33 ± 161.58). These outcomes reveal that the nanopolyherbal formulation enhances antioxidant activity and inhibits glycation in PBMCs, suggesting its capability for managing oxidative stress-related condition.

Abstract

This study utilizes passive ZnS@Cu2+ and ZnSe@Cu2+ layers deposited on the CdS and CdSe quantum dots to reduce dark current and enhance photon absorption. The films were fabricated utilizing the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction technique with an optimized and suitable Cu/Zn doping ratio. Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and field emission scanning electron microscopy analyses indicate a change in the absorption edge within the visible light region when ZnS and ZnSe are doped with Cu2+ ions. Power conversion efficiency measurements reveal that the ZnSe@Cu2+ photoelectrode increases the current density (JSC ~23 mA.cm-2) compared to ZnS@Cu2+ The photoelectrode exhibits a short-circuit current density (JSC ≈ 22 mA · cm−2), leading to improved conversion efficiency. It also shows the lowest charge transfer resistance (Rct2 = 33 − Ω), indicating efficient interfacial kinetics in the photoelectrode suggests more efficient electron transport and reduced recombination.

Abstract

This study has succeeded in synthesizing and characterizing TiO2/CaTiO3 perovskite composites using calcium carbonate (CaCO3) from shellfish waste (Pinctada maxima). Synthesis was carried out through the coprecipitation method with variations in the molar ratio of CaCO3:TiO2 and calcination temperatures (700oC, 800oC, and 900oC). Characterization was carried out using FTIR, DTA-TG, XRD, SEM-EDS, BET and UV-Vis. The results of the analysis showed that the calcination temperature affected the powder color, crystal structure, thermal properties and particle size. The DTA-TG analysis shows that increasing the calcination temperature up to 900oC significantly reduces mass loss to 51.88%, with minimal thermal events, indicating the formation of a thermally stable and well-crystallized TiO2/CaTiO3 structure. At a temperature of 900oC, a more perfect CaTiO3 was formed with the whitest powder color, the anatase and brookite phases of TiO2 were still detected, while the calcite phase was still found at a temperature of 700oC. The morphology of the samples showed agglomeration with increasingly uniform particle sizes at higher calcination temperatures. Complementary BET analysis confirms that the composite possesses a mesoporous structure with a specific surface area of 11.42 m2/g and a pore size distribution of 3-5 nm, making it suitable for adsorption and photocatalytic applications. UV-Vis analysis showed an increase in the band gap value along with the increase in the TiO2 ratio. This is also confirmed by the presence of Urbach energy which tends to increase with increasing TiO2 ratio.

Abstract

Gliclazide (GLI), a sulfonylurea-class antidiabetic drug, exhibits poor aqueous solubility, limiting its bioavailability. This study aimed to enhance gliclazide’s solubility and dissolution rate by adsorbing it into mesoporous silica SBA-15 and amine-functionalized SBA-15 (SBA-15-A). SBA-15 was synthesized using Pluronic® P123 as a template and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the silica precursor, while 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) was used to introduce amine functional groups. Gliclazide was loaded into SBA-15 and SBA-15-A at a 1:3 mass ratio. The materials (GLI, SBA-15, SBA-15-A, GLI-SBA, and GLI-SBA-A) were characterized using nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Characterization revealed that the pore diameters of SBA-15 and SBA-15-A were 6.079 nm and 5.483 nm, respectively. FT-IR confirmed the interaction between gliclazide and the mesoporous carriers. SEM and TEM analysis showed crystalline gliclazide and rod-shaped morphologies for the mesopores samples. DSC and PXRD results indicated that most of the gliclazide had been converted to an amorphous form. Solubility testing over 24 hours showed that GLI-SBA and GLI-SBA-A improved gliclazide solubility by 1.375- and 2.334-fold, respectively, compared to pure gliclazide. Dissolution testing in distilled water revealed a 6.033-fold and 3.887-fold increase in the release rate at 5 minutes for GLI-SBA and GLI-SBA-A, respectively. Both solubility and release rate improvements were statistically significant (p <0.05). These findings suggest that amine functionalization of SBA-15 effectively enhances the solubility and dissolution rate of gliclazide.

Abstract

The presence of antibiotics in aquatic environments poses significant environmental and health risks, requiring advanced treatment strategies for their removal. In this study, we report the straightforward hydrothermal synthesis of high surface area ortho-Nb2O5  and its dual role as both an adsorbent and photocatalyst for the removal of tetracycline (TC) from wastewater. The structural and  morphological properties of ortho-Nb2O5 were systematically investigated using XRD, FTIR, FESEM-EDS, and BET surface area analysis. The ortho-Nb2O5 synthesized at 72 hours (Nb2O5_72) exhibited a high BET surface area of 242.42 m2/g, mesoporosity, and a bandgap of 3.28 eV, enabling efficient UV-driven photocatalysis. Adsorption studies revealed a high TC removal capacity of 32 mg/g at equilibrium. Under UV irradiation, ortho-Nb2O5 achieved significant photocatalytic degradation of TC.

Abstract

The co-grinding method has been used to produce solid dispersions that increase the solubility of drug substances by utilizing hydrophilic polymers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of chitosan and variations of sodium alginate as polymers on the dissolution rate of cefixime solid dispersion using the co-grinding technique. The cefixime solid dispersion formulation was made in three variations of sodium alginate formulas, namely 200 mg, 250 mg, and 300 mg. Sample characterization was carried out using XRD, FTIR, SEM, solubility testing, dissolution rate, and flow properties. The results showed that Formula 2 (F2) cefixime solid dispersion was the best formula because the degree of crystallinity decreased to 21.71%, and FTIR analysis showed the functional group interaction. Evaluation of cefixime solid dispersion showed changes in particle morphology. In addition, there was an increase in the transmittance percentage in SIF of 98.587 ± 0.019 and an increase in the dissolution rate of cefixime of 83.61%, an increase in the flow rate of 6.3 ± 0.14 grams/second, an angle of repose of 26.4 ± 0.4◦, a compressibility index of 16.3 ± 0.29%, and a Hausner ratio of 1.19 ± 0.35.
