The characteristics of the synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) were assessed using XRD, DRS, FESEM, EDX, FTIR, TEM and XPS analyses, respectively. The acute toxicity assays were operated with Microtox (Aliivibrio fischeri also called Vibrio fischeri) and Daphnia magna acute toxicity tests. The photocatalytic degradation mechanisms of CuO/ZrO2 NCs and the reaction kinetics of SMM were evaluated in PI ww during PDP. Cost analysis was evaluated for SMM removal with CuO/ZrO2 NCs by PDP in PI ww. ANOVA statistical analysis was used for all experimental samples. Maximum 99.6% SMM removal was obtained during PDP in PI ww, at 350 W UV-vis light irradiation power, at 147 mW/cm2 light intensity, after 120 min, at pH=12.0 and at 25oC, respectively. Maximum 99.2% SMM removal was found with PDP in PI ww, at 5 mg/l SMM, at 350 W UV-vis, at 147 mW/cm2, after 120 min, at pH=12.0 and at 25oC, respectively. Maximum 99.5% SMM removal was measured to 800 mg/l CuO/ZrO2 NCs with PDP in PI ww, at 5 mg/l SMM, at 350 W UV-vis, at 147 mW/cm2, after 120 min, at pH=12.0 and at 25oC, respectively. Maximum 99.4% SMM removal was measured at 4/3wt CuO/ZrO2 NCs mass ratios, at 5 mg/l SMM, at 800 mg/l CuO/ZrO2 NCs, at 350 W UV-vis, at 147 mW/cm2, after 120 min, at pH=12.0 and at 25oC, respectively. Maximum 99.5% SMM recovery was measured in PI ww during PDP, after 1. recycle time, at 5 mg/l SMM, at 800 mg/l CuO/ZrO2 NCs, at 4/3wt CuO/ZrO2 NCs mass rartio, at 350 W UV-vis, at 147 mW/cm2, after 120 min, at pH=12.0 and at 25oC, respectively. 97.31% maximum Microtox acute toxicity removal was found in SMM=20 mg/l after 180 min, and at 60oC. It was observed an inhibition effect of SMM=40 mg/l to Microtox after 180 min, and at 60oC. 93.27% maximum Daphnia magna acute toxicity removal was obtained in SMM=20 mg/l after 180 min, and at 60oC, respectively. It was obtained an inhibition effect of SMM=40 mg/l to Daphnia magna after 180 min and at 60oC. As a result, the CuO/ZrO2 NCs during PDP in PI ww was stable in harsh environments such as acidic, alkaline, saline and then was still effective process. Finally, the combination of a simple, easy operation preparation process, excellent performance and cost effective, makes this CuO/ZrO2 NCs a promising option during PDP in PI ww treatment.","PeriodicalId":9803,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science International Journal","volume":"188 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90270060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This means that more than a 1/3 of Bulgarian citizens are facing hurdles when presented with health or healthcare related issues to deal with which inexorably affects their quality of life and potential. To society this means that there is a measurable inequality between those with high and low health literacy that is evidenced by social gradient. Thus, low health literacy has direct effect on perpetuating health inequalities which in turn affects social justice and attainment of human development and flourishing. HL is closely associated with social determinants of health and poor health/ outcomes due to low literacy is as an injustice that needs to be addressed systematically from broad policy perspective. It is an injustice as studies demonstrate that HL is a modifiable factor that has a direct positive effect on improving well-being, reducing absenteeism, and triggering economic and social progress. The purpose of the project is to analyze available literature, draft and test questionnaires, analyze results in order to gain better understanding of the health literacy needs of Bulgarian population and to better inform public health policies and implement targeted evidence based interventions. Improved health literacy will lead to more effective and efficient healthcare utilization contributing to better patient outcome and optimal use of health and medical resources. In fact, the WHO Shanghai Declaration (2016) declared health literacy a critical determinant of health and established the direct link between adequate health literacy and achievement of Sustainable development goals.","PeriodicalId":9803,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science International Journal","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77281668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Corrosion of the steel was monitored by Potentiodynamic Polarization (PDP), Linear Polarization Resistance (LPR), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Weight Loss (WL) techniques. The novel Schiff base ligands obtained were characterized by Ultraviolet-visible and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The elemental analysis data for the Schiff base ligands were used to confirm the formula of SBL1 as C17H20N2O2 and SBL2 as C24H21N5O2. Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy suggest that the formation of a complex film on the mild steel surface was due to the adsorption of SBL1 and SBL2. The adsorption process was spontaneous and consistent with the mechanism of physical adsorption as best approximated by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Maximum inhibition efficiency was obtained at maximum concentration of 100 ppm for both SBL1 and SBL2 with SBL2 possessing the higher inhibition efficiency (86.21%) more than SBL1 (76.92%). Effectiveness of SBL1 and SBL2 reduced with increase in time and progressed with increase in concentration of SBL1 and SBL2. PDP measurements showed that SBL1 and SBL2 acted as a mixed type inhibitor. EIS measurement reveals that the corrosion process was controlled by charge transfer process. Values of the inhibition efficacy obtained from the different techniques were comparable. SEM micrographs of mild steel surface indicated good surface protection of SBL1 and SBL2.","PeriodicalId":9803,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science International Journal","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83183802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concept of Otherness within the framework of postcolonial criticism is used to describe the rest of the world, i.e., everything that does not fall within the scope of Europeans, as one homogeneous mass characterized by ugly features. Otherness in postcolonial criticism refers to colonized peoples who are marginalized by the imperial and identified by their difference from the center. Any area that is not part of European soil is considered inferior, dangerous and less valuable. However, in the understanding of the Other, a duality is also noticeable, since he is sometimes considered wild, harmful and mysterious, and sometimes harmless. Hybridity, mimicry, ambivalence are terms which are used in postcolonial analysis. The colonizers tried to categorize the colonized population, and the formation of hybrid patterns prevented that process, since new cultural forms were emerging that no longer corresponded to the descriptions of the colonizers. Colonizers have been the part of Occident and the colonized nations are the Orient or the Others or the category of Otherness. Sharing the same space, Orient and Occident influenced each other, which resulted in the transfer of elements from one culture to another. The fruit of this is the emergence of an intermediate space and a hybrid identity, which is characterized as a simultaneous affection for two or more different and opposing identity patterns, but does not fully belong to any of them.","PeriodicalId":9803,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science International Journal","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91305139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the main inspiration for this paper, whose purpose is to examine the latest trends in the human resource management field. The COVID-19 has inevitably affected all organizations all over the world. The pandemic has created a complex and very challenging internal and external environment for the companies, which caused concerns for managers and human resource management (HRM) practitioners. Because of this, they need to find new solutions to help their employees to cope with this extraordinary crisis. The main idea behind the research is to evaluate the impact of the corona crisis on the modern workplace, i.e. to examine the influence on the pandemic on the HRM practices and trends. One of the aims of this paper is to analyze the trends in the field of human resource management, examined through the employee’s perspective. The methods used are induction, deduction, generalization and structured questionnaire. The research was conducted using a structured questionnaire in an international company, based in Skopje, North Macedonia. The results obtained from the 120 respondents show that grand changes have taken place in the field of HRM, mostly due to the corona virus pandemic. Employees, as well as company managers, are facing the fast-paced changes, which occur in the global economy, under the pressure of global pandemic. The main characteristic of 21st century is dynamic environment that imposes many challenges to companies. Based on the research results that were obtained, we can draw the conclusion that HRM sector is one of the most dynamic, fast changing and prone to fluctuations. This leads us to the inevitable need for HRM practitioners and organizations to develop an adequate approach to the emerging challenges. Contemporary organizations are intensifying their efforts in order to find an appropriate human resource management model, which will enable them to successfully deal with those challenges through the efficient use of available human resources.","PeriodicalId":9803,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science International Journal","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91113098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The owner of the enterprise’s capital is the state represented by the Minister of culture of Bulgaria. The subject of this study covers the enterprise’s income and the methods for its analysis. Enterprise’s income for the period 2019 – 2021 is analysed. The interest to the question of enterprise’s income is due to the fact that at the beginning of 2020 a number of measures have been implemented in the country and state of emergency, and later on – epidemiologic emergency, were in place for some time, due to the spread of the coronavirus and the announced global Covid-19 pandemic. In 2020, the enterprise has almost fully discontinued its business with view of the restrictive measures undertaken by the Bulgarian government due to the spread of Covid-19.
