Material flow analysis of textile waste streams in the Czech Republic.
Shtukaturova, Anastasia
Volumes of textile waste have been continuously increasing over last few decades because of the overconsumption of textile products linked to low-cost fast fashion, growing population and higher living standards. Both textile industry and waste generation contribute to environmental pollution and production of greenhouse and waste gases. In 2020, the EU adopted the new Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) for the transition to the circular economy where the waste considers to be a valuable resource. Principles of the CEAP need to be implemented into the legislation of each Member state. In the Czech Republic, a new waste treatment law based on the CEAP was adopted in 2021. The new waste treatment law determines important changes for the textile waste treatment in the country. To prepare the Czech Republic for these significant changes, a material flow analysis (MFA) was created to determine the current state with textile waste streams. The results showed that the production of industrial textile waste was 70 405 tons in the year 2010 and 87 840 tons in the year 2019, so there is no big increase for this type of textile waste. The production of textile waste from households was 37 393 tons in the year 2019 and it is almost ten times higher in a comparison with the year 2010. Moreover, the analysis of municipal solid waste (MSW) samples showed that they contained about 7% of different types of used textiles which may be suitable for recycling. Obtained results confirm that the Czech Republic is not enough prepared for meeting the objectives of the CEAP in a case of textile waste because of its constantly growing volumes and lack of recycling technologies.\n\n

Hybrid organometallic galectin inhibitors
Hamala, Vojtěch
Galectins are lectin-type proteins defined by their sequence homology and the ability to bind β-galactosides. Human galectin-1 (Gal-1) and galectin-3 (Gal-3) are involved in tumor progression. Elevated Gal-1 levels are reported for many tumor tissues and Gal-1 contributes to tumor progression including cell migration and tumor immune escape.\nGal-3 is characteristically overexpressed in many cancers and an elevated Gal-3 level is associated with increased invasiveness, metastatic spreading, immunosuppression and angiogenesis. Galectins are also implicated in progression of serious diseases other than cancer e.g., cardiovascular ones, diabetes mellitus, fibrosis, and others. These\nproperties make galectins promising therapeutic targets.\n

Deoxyfluorinated N-acetyllactosamines as carbohydrate-based probes for human galectins
Kurfiřt, Martin
This work is focused on a detailed NMR investigation of human galectins via a complete series of mono-deoxyfluorinated Nacetyllactosamine probes 1–6, which were prepared previously in our laboratory.3 Advanced 19F NMR T2-filter technique enabled the identification of hydroxyl groups essential for the interaction with varioushGals, and permitted to compare hGals in terms of the importance of these key hydroxyl groups in the recognition events. Furthermore, the library was also investigated by various NMR techniques such as 19F EXSY, STD and 15N CSP to reveal the molecular origin of recognition events.\n

Slit geometry microreactor for light induced photocatalysis with graphite carbon nitride thin films
Dolai, Susmita
We have demonstrated a facile, controllable, scalable and efficient new method for synthesizing carbon nitride materials with morphology and optimizing their catalytic performance in microreactor and cuvette. History and different structures and classification of carbon nitride materials also properly explained in this review. Different organic pollutant degradation and hydrogen generation performance are shown for carbon nitride materials, as per as their catalytic activities and properties.
