This study demonstrates a simple protocol for phytofabrication of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) wrapped with bioactive molecules from Ludwigia octovalvis leaf extract and their characterization by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS), and diffuse reflectance spectrum (DRS). The bandgap energy of pure green engineered TiO2 nanoparticles was determined by DRS analysis. The XPS analysis confirmed the purity of the TiO2 nanoparticles. Angiotensin II human nmr Results show that the synthesized TiO2NPs were spherical in shape with the size ranged from 36 to 81 nm. The green engineered titanium oxide nanocatalyst exhibited enhanced rate of photocatalytic degradation of important textile toxic dyes namely crystal violet (93.1%), followed by methylene blue (90.6%), methyl orange (76.7%), and alizarin red (72.4%) after 6-h exposure under sunlight irradiation. Besult exhibited the occurrence of more apoptosis (dead cells) of HeLa cells due to the exposure of TiO2NPs. Altogether, the present study clearly showed that biomolecules wrapped nanotitania could be used as effective and promising compound for enhanced photocatalytic and biomedical applications in the future.Global energy demand increases overtime, especially in emerging market economies, producing potential negative environmental impacts, particularly on the long term, on nature and climate changes. Promoting renewables is a robust policy action in world energy-based economies. This study examines if an increase in renewables production has a positive effect on the Brazilian economy, partially offsetting the SARS-CoV2 outbreak recession. Using data on Brazilian economy, we test the contribution of renewables on the economy via a ML architecture (through a LSTM model). Empirical findings show that an ever-greater use of renewables may sustain the economic growth recovery, generating a better performing GDP acceleration vs. other energy variables.The growing interest of our society for the environment, climate change, and the assurance of the quality of life and health has been the motor of new methodological proposals that allow a more comprehensive knowledge of the problems to be solved. In this sense, the potential of omic methodologies to study these problems from a global perspective represents a milestone in environmental studies. Therefore, the study of essential and toxic metals has a special interest, particularly in relation to toxicity issues and their association to biological interactions, transport, binding to biomolecules, and behavior in biological interfaces. These studies have promoted new instrumental platforms and methodological approaches that allow addressing these problems. Furthermore, to encompass the reality of molecule-atoms interactions in their completeness, combinations of omics have been tried, focusing on environment, food, and health issues. In this sense, the present work is situated, with the objective of reviewing the most recent methodological proposals in the field of the environment and their applications, considering not only the analytical approaches but also how they have to be applied, the use of bioindicators' exposure experiments in the laboratory, and the potential transfer of the findings from the laboratory to the field. This latter point is a true touchstone, which makes these new analytical methodologies in the necessary tools for understanding the environment and the consequences of its imbalance.Triclosan is an antimicrobial agent widely used in personal care products and an emerging contaminant with potential to have harmful effects to edaphic organisms. This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of exposure to triclosan on the microbiota, plants, and edaphic animals using isolated bioassays and a microcosm scale representation (multispecies system). Among the isolated bioassays, the phytotoxicity test with Lactuca sativa, avoidance test with Eisenia andrei, and acute toxicity with E. andrei and Armadillidium vulgare were used. The multispecies system used seeds of L. sativa and Sinapis alba, together with earthworms and terrestrial isopods. This system also evaluated microbial activity through alkaline phosphatase and the metabolic profile using Ecoplate™, BIOLOG microplates. Exposure to triclosan impacted seedling growth in the isolated bioassay and germination and root growth in the microcosm scale assay; it also caused mortality in terrestrial isopods, earthworm avoidance and alteration of alkaline phosphatase, and the consumption profile of carbohydrates and carboxylic acids in the microbiota. The ecotoxicological effects evaluated in the multispecies system were perceived even in low concentrations of triclosan, indicating that the interaction of this xenobiotic with the environment and organisms in a more realistic scenario can compromise ecosystem services.A growing body of research has reported associations between weaker Executive Functions (EF), the set capacities that are needed to manage and allocate one's cognitive resources during cognitively challenging activities and various neurodevelopmental conditions, including stuttering. The majority of this research has been based on variable-centered approaches, which have the potential to obscure within-population heterogeneity. Person-centered analyses are essential to understanding multifactorial disorders where relationships between indicators have been elusive, such as stuttering. The current study addressed gaps in the literature by using latent class analysis (LCA), a person-centered approach, to identify homogenous subgroups within the National Health Interview Survey (2004-2018) publicly available data set. Using this exploratory approach, we examined the hypothesis that there exist distinct classes (or subgroups) of children based on parent reports of EF, Socioemotional (SE) traits, developmental atypicality, and stuttering. Our analyses revealed distinct subgroups with substantially different likelihoods of parent-reported stuttering behaviors and developmental atypicality. For children with both EF and SE difficulties, the likelihood of parental report of stuttering and atypical development was even higher, in fact this likelihood (of stuttering and not-typically developing) was highest among all subgroups. In contrast, children without difficulties were the least likely to be reported with stuttering or not-typically developing. Our findings are consistent with theoretical frameworks for stuttering, which cite EF as a crucial component in the disorder. Additionally, our findings suggest within-population heterogeneity among children with EF difficulties and, specifically, EF and SE heterogeneity among children who stutter.
