The use of thermography in surveys of monuments
Valach, Jaroslav; Eisler, Marek
2024 - Czech
Thermography expands the portfolio of methods that can be used to study the properties of objects in the surrounding world. As recently as a decade ago, the technology was frowned upon for potential military applications controlled, which limited competition in the offer of products and manufacturers and led to high prices of devices based on these principles. It was only thanks to the release of this control that it happened to expand production and make simplified products available to mass use, so get it today for example, a customer can purchase a smartphone with an additional thermographic module for only with a small price increase. Together with the availability of equipment, we observe an increase in the application of thermography in many areas, including surveys of buildings and monuments. Termografie rozšiřuje portfolia metod, jimiž lze studovat vlastnosti objektů okolního světa. Ještě před deseti lety byla tato technologie kvůli potenciálním vojenským aplikacím úzkostlivě kontrolována, což omezovalo konkurenci v nabídce výrobků a výrobců a vedlo k vysokým cenám zařízení založených na těchto principech. Teprve díky uvolnění této kontroly došlo k rozmachu výroby a zpřístupnění zjednodušených výrobků masovému využití, takže si dnes může zákazník například pořídit chytrý telefon s doplňkovým termografickým modulem jen s malým navýšením ceny. Spolu s dostupností zařízení pozorujeme nárůst uplatnění termografie v mnoha oblastech, včetně průzkumů staveb a památek.

Neuromorphic engineering is a rapidly developing branch of science that aims to implement the unique attributes of biological neural networks in artificial devices. Most neuromorphic devices are based on the resistive switching effect, which involves changing the device’s conductivity in response to an external electric field. For instance, percolating nanoparticle (NP) networks produced by gas aggregation cluster sources (GAS) show collective spiking behavior in conductivity reminiscent of brain-like dynamics. Nevertheless, the problem of dynamic spatial reconfiguration in solid-state neuromorphic systems remains unsolved. Herein, novel nanofluids with resistive switching properties are proposed as neuromorphic media. They are produced by depositing silver NPs from GAS into vacuum-compatible liquids (paraffin, silicon oil, and PEG) without the use of surfactants or other chemicals. When the electric field is applied between two electrodes, the migration of NPs toward biased electrode is detected in all liquids. The electrophoretic nature of the NP movement was proved by means of ζ-potential measurements. Such movement led to the self-assembly of NPs in conductive paths connecting the electrodes and, as a result, to resistive switching. The electrical response was strongly dependent on the dielectric constant of the base liquid. The Ag-PEG nanofluid demonstrated the best switching performance reproducible during several tens of current-voltage cycles. The growth of flexible and reconfigurable conductive filaments in nanofluids makes them suitable media for potential realization of 3D neural networks.

The aim of the methodology is to describe the possibilities of sewage sludge treatment by composting and pyrolysis for the application in agriculture, with particular respect to the so-called micropollutants, but also to conventional pollutants, and to assess the risks of treated sludge for the soil environment and the uptake of (micro)pollutants by cultivated crops. The methodology is based on the results from laboratory and field experiments of a three-year project and on a critical approach to sludge as a potentially hazardous waste on the one hand and a recyclable source of nutrients on the other. Cílem předkládané metodiky je popsat možnosti úpravy čistírenských kalů kompostováním a pyrolýzou pro aplikaci v zemědělství, a to zejména s ohledem na tzv. mikropolutanty, ale i na konvenční polutanty, a posoudit rizika upravených kalů pro půdní prostředí a vstup (mikro)polutantů do pěstovaných plodin. Metodika vychází z výsledků laboratorních a terénních experimentů tříletého projektu a z kritického přístupu ke kalům jako potenciálně nebezpečnému odpadu na straně jedné a recyklovatelného zdroje živin na straně druhé.

Palingenesis - the restoration of everything? (Matthew 19,28)
Dus, Jan A
2024 - Czech
In Matthew’s version of Jesus’ promise (Matthew 19:28–30), in contrast to Mark and Luke, there is no explicit mention of the present time, the restitution of all that the followers of Jesus left behind is thus pushed forward to the future, in which they will take over the reigns with the Son of Man. The promise features the rare term “palingenesis”, whose precise temporal and factual determination cannot be deduced from the sentence itself. While in Mt 19:28 palingenesis is, according to the prevailing interpretation, a synonym for the future restoration of the universe, in Tit 3:5 (the only other occurrence in the NT) the same word refers to the rebirth of some people that took place in the past (at baptism). Even non-biblical literature does not provide a clear precedent - palingenesis tends to be set both in the past and in the future, it concerns both the world and individuals or groups (Israel). – The syntax and punctuation of the Greek sentence show that both interpretations are equally possible: palingenesis can be related either (A) to the following verbal form “sitting (the Son of Man on the throne)”, i.e. to the future, or (B) to the preceding verbal form “following (disciples behind Jesus)”, i.e. into the past, in addition, there is a third, open option (C). In the 16th-century Greek, Latin, and Czech versions, all possibilities are represented: Erasmus punctuates the Vulgate differently (B), Beza first respects the Vulgate (A), but in his Annotations he considers the second solution (B), in the fourth and fifth editions he finally leaves the matter open (C), two Czech translations from the first half of the 16th century (Náměšť 1533, Melantrich 1556/57) hesitate in the dilemma between the Vulgate and Erasmus (C), most Brethren translations starting with Blahoslav (1564) deviate from the Vulgate (B), only the Six-Volume Kralice Bible from 1593/94 (“Kralická Šestidílka”) hesitates (C), in “Kralická Šestidílka” and in the Kralice New Testament from 1601 the Brethren pay equal attention to both interpretations in a rather extensive note, which, for its balance, is a nice proof of intellectual openness and tolerance. Like Beza, the Brethren add a new aspect to interpretation (B): palingenesis can mean the renewal of the whole world thanks to the Gospel and the first coming of the Messiah. – Considering the dynamic development in the 16th century, it is surprising that all ten tracked Czech translations from around the 20th century agree on only one variant (A). Option (B) seems to be in danger of unfair oblivion. Therefore, in conclusion, we allow ourselves to propose a new, somewhat looser translation or paraphrase of verse Mt 19:28 in the spirit of Kralice: “Amen, I say to you, it was you who followed me when I came to renew the world with the gospel, and when the Son of Man sits on the throne of his glory, it will be you again who will sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.” V Matoušově verzi Ježíšova zaslíbení (Mt 19,28–30) oproti Markovi a Lukášovi chybí výslovná zmínka o přítomnosti: restituce všeho, co Ježíšovi následovníci opustili, se tak posouvá až do budoucnosti, ve které se chopí vlády spolu se Synem člověka. V zaslíbení figuruje raritní pojem „palingeneze“, jehož bližší časové a věcné určení nelze ze samotného souvětí odvodit. Zatímco v Mt 19,28 je palingeneze podle převažujícího výkladu synonymem pro budoucí obnovu veškerenstva, v Tt 3,5 (jediný další výskyt v NZ) odkazuje totéž slovo na znovuzrození některých lidí, ke kterému došlo v minulosti (při křtu). Ani nebiblická literatura nepřináší jednoznačný precedens – palingeneze bývá zasazována jak do minulosti, tak i do budoucnosti, týká se jak světa, tak i jednotlivců či skupin (Izraele). – Syntax a interpunkce řeckého souvětí ukazují, že oba výklady jsou rovnocenné: palingenezi lze vztáhnout buď (A) k následujícímu výrazu pro „usednutí (Syna člověka na trůn)“, tedy do budoucnosti, anebo (B) k předchozímu výrazu pro „následování (učedníků za Ježíšem)“, tedy do minulosti, kromě toho existuje (C) výklad otevřený. V řeckých, latinských a českých verzích ze 16. století jsou zastoupeny všechny možnosti: Erasmus interpunkčně opravuje Vulgátu (B), Beza nejprve respektuje Vulgátu (A), v anotacích však zvažuje druhé řešení (B), ve čtvrtém a pátém vydání nakonec nechává věc otevřenou (C), v dilematu mezi Vulgátou a Erasmem váhají i dva české překlady z první poloviny 16. stol. (náměšťský 1533, melantrišský 1556/57) (C), většina bratrských překladů počínaje Blahoslavem (1564) se odchyluje od Vulgáty (B), jen kralická Šestidílka (1593/94) váhá (C), v Šestidílce i v kralickém Novém zákoně z r. 1601 Bratří věnují oběma výkladům rovnocennou pozornost v poměrně rozsáhlé poznámce, která je pro svou vyváženost pěkným dokladem intelektuální otevřenosti a tolerance, podobně jako Beza připojují k výkladu (B) nový aspekt: palingeneze může znamenat obnovení celého světa díky evangeliu a prvnímu příchodu Mesiáše. – Vzhledem k dynamickému vývoji v 16. století je překvapivé, že všech deset sledovaných českých překladů z období kolem 20. století se shoduje jen na jedné variantě (A). Zdá se, že variantě (B) hrozí nespravedlivé zapomenutí. Proto si na závěr dovolujeme navrhnout nový, poněkud volnější překlad či parafrázi verše Mt 19,28 v kralickém duchu: „Amen, pravím vám, vy jste šli za mnou, když jsem přišel obnovit svět evangeliem, a až Syn člověka usedne na trůn své slávy, budete to zase vy, kdo usednete na dvanáct trůnů a budete soudit dvanáct kmenů Izraele.“

Electrochemical Properties of Pretomanid. New drug for Tuberculosis Treatment
Deri, M.; Vespi, M.; Giannarelli, S.; Hromadová, Magdaléna
2024 - English
The electrochemical behavior of Pretomanid (PA 824) has been investigated in acetonitrile by cyclic voltammetry at different scan rates and compared to dimetridazole reduction in order to elucidate its redox mechanism. Both compounds show similar reduction behavior in the aprotic solvent that involves one electron transfer to the nitro group. The reduction of Pretomanid is more difficult and the stability of its nitro anion radical is much lower compared to the dimetridazole molecule.

Redox Properties of Pyrene-Cyclohexene Conjugates – Electrochemical Study
Koláčná, Lucie; Čubiňák, M.; Tobrman, T.; Ludvík, Jiří
2024 - English
The series of 16 compounds for "organic electronics" comprising the double-bond cyclohexene core extended by pyrene and/or other aromatics were electrochemically characterized by rotating disk voltammetry in N,N-dimethylformamide. Due to multiple substitutions, the resulting potential gap represents the sum of all substituent effects. Different combinations of substituents can be used to achieve the desired properties of cyclohexene-pyrene derivatives. The electrochemical data presented in this contribution facilitate further tuning of properties of these molecules and systems to achieve features required in material chemistry just by means of chemical modification.

Electrochemical Valorization of Lignocellulosic Biomass Amination of Furfural and 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural
Donkeng Dazie, Joel; Koláčná, Lucie; Urban, Jiří; Lamač, Martin; Ludvík, Jiří
2024 - English
Furfural (FF) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) isolated from waste lignocellulosic biomass represent renewable sources. The present contribution deals with the transformation of FF and HMF into furfuryl amines which are important precursors namely for pharmaceutical synthesis. First, FF and HMF underwent condensation reactions with various amines which were electrochemically monitored to optimize the process. The resulting Schiff bases were identified by NMR and subsequently electrochemically reduced in basic media. The vicinal diamine (aminopinacol) was the main product besides the expected furfuryl amines. This reaction is a contribution to green synthesis because it was performed electrochemically, in water, and without any metallic catalysts.

3D-printed Electrodes with Nearly Ideal Charge Transfer Characteristics
Vaněčková, Eva; Sebechlebská, Táňa; Kolivoška, Viliam
2024 - English
3D printing is an outstanding manufacturing tool for prototyping customized designs at reduced time and costs, having found applications in fields such as medicine or the automotive industry. The development of printable electrically conductive composite materials brought a revolution to electrochemistry, with 3D-printed electrodes being intensively studied from the viewpoint of\nanalytical performance and stability. However, it is often reported that 3D-printed electrodes have poor charge transfer characteristics, typically due to limited exposure of the electrically conductive phase at the composite surface to the surrounding solution. In this work, we devise and apply simple electrochemical activation procedures that lead to a significant improvement of charge transfer characteristics of 3D printed electrodes.
