Summary: This study optimized and compared the techniques of stir bar sorption extraction (SBSE) and multi-stir bar sportive extraction (mSBSE) for analyzing the volatile composition of grape must. The results showed that SBSE provided higher extraction of volatile compounds than mSBSE. The best conditions for SBSE were determined to be headspace extraction, 500 rpm speed, 6 hours extraction time, 60 degrees C temperature, and sequential NaCl addition.

Summary: Schiff base networks (SNWs) were used as a new coating for stir bars, and a method combining SNWs-coated stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) with high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV) was developed for the determination of pyrethroid pesticide residues in tobacco. The SNWs/PDMS stir bar showed high extraction efficiency for pyrethroid pesticides and good mechanical stability. Under optimized conditions, the method achieved low limits of detection and met the requirements for trace analysis of pesticide residues in the tobacco industry. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of pyrethroid pesticides in cigarette samples with satisfactory recovery rates.

Summary: In this study, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-coated stir bar for recognizing diazepam was prepared. The MIP was synthesized using methacrylic acid as a functional monomer, diazepam as a template, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a crosslinker, and azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator. The resulting polymer-modified stir bar was characterized and used in a stir-bar-sorptive-extraction (SBSE) method in combination with ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) or ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). The MIP-SBSE coupled with UHPLC-MS/MS showed satisfactory results in quantifying traces of diazepam in water samples, while the MIP-SBSE using IMS exhibited high sensitivity for rapid screening of the compound in different matrices.

Summary: In this study, an improved headspace-stir bar sorptive extraction was developed to extract volatile compounds with different polarities in a short time. Extraction conditions were selected and optimized using response surface methodology, and the addition of a cold stir bar further shortened the extraction time to 1 minute. The effect of different ethanol concentrations and salt additions on extraction efficiency was also studied, and 10% ethanol concentration with no salt addition provided the highest extraction efficiency for most compounds. The feasibility of the high-throughput extraction condition was verified using volatile compounds spiked in a honeybush infusion.

Summary: Single-phase oxygen stoichiometric LaMnO3 and doped La(0.8)A(0.2)MnO(3) (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) perovskites were prepared by a simple one-step auto-combustion method. Cation-deficient LaMnO3+delta and La(0.8)A(0.2)MnO(3+delta) were obtained by calcination of the former samples in air at 750 degrees C. The catalytic activity of these oxides is influenced by the Mn4+/Mn3+ molar ratio on the surface of the samples and the cation-deficiency of the bulk perovskite structure.

Summary: Mediterranean countries face the issue of non-biodegradable vegetation waters from olive oil production that negatively impacts surface water quality. This study explores the potential use of carbon steel slag (SS) as an adsorbent to reduce the toxicity of olive mill wastewater (OMWW). The characterization of SS and OMWW confirms the acidic nature of the effluent and the presence of organic compounds. The study demonstrates that SS can effectively neutralize the acidity of OMWW and adsorb tannic acid, indicating its potential for OMWW remediation.

Summary: The relationship between agricultural activities, soil characteristics, and groundwater quality was investigated in this study. Three agricultural sandy soils were analyzed for various parameters, including pH, water content, bulk density, electrical conductivity, organic matter, cation exchange capacity, and soil grain size distribution. Elements were analyzed by spectroscopy and X-ray techniques. The soils were slightly acidic to alkaline in nature with sandy texture and low clay and silt percentage. Column-leaching experiments showed a higher tendency of nitrate release in the irrigated soils. The olive pomace biomass slag residue was also characterized and showed potential use as a soil additive.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the non-antibiotic pharmaceutical carbamazepine on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during anaerobic digestion. The results showed that carbamazepine induced the enrichment of ARGs and increased the abundance of bacteria carrying these genes. It also facilitated microbial aggregation and intercellular communication, leading to an increased frequency of ARGs transmission. Moreover, carbamazepine promoted the acquisition of ARGs by pathogens and elevated their overall abundance.

Summary: This paper developed a machine learning model to predict the biochemical methane potential during anaerobic digestion. Model analysis identified lignin content, organic loading, and nitrogen content as key attributes for methane production prediction. For feedstocks with high cellulose content, early methane production is lower but can be improved by prolonging digestion time. Moreover, lignin content exceeding a certain value significantly inhibits methane production.
