«Danger: Security»! Securitization Theory and the Paris School of International Security Studies by O. S. Gaidaev

“…This article continues the series of studies, entirely devoted to the phenomenon of securitization: from the early drafts of the theory towards the modern theoretical concepts.Some of the notions are introduced into the Russian academic use: “domains of insecurity,” “exceptional securitizing,”“diffuse securitizing.”The article focuses on analyzing the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of the Paris School approach in general and the theory of (in)securitization in particular. …”

Magnetic core‐shell Fe3O4@TiO2 nanocomposites for broad spectrum antibacterial applications by Nisha Rani, Brijnandan S. Dehiya

“…The antibacterial studies of magnetic nanoparticles and the titania‐coated magnetic nanocomposite were carried out against gram+ve, and gram–ve bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella flexneri, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella typhi) using well diffusion technique. The inhibition zone for E. coli (17 mm after 24 h) was higher than the other bacterial strains; nevertheless, both the uncoated and TiO2‐coated magnetite nanocomposites showed admirable antibacterial activity against each of the above bacterial strains.…”

Characterisation of Luffa cylindrica Fibre from Cameroon for Use in Composites: Effect of Alkaline Treatment by Jean Aimé Mono, Assona Appolince Rachelle, Claude Takoumbe, Odette Thérèse Adegono Assiene, Prince Hermann Pokem Nguimjeu, Fabrice Ella Belinga

“…The results obtained show the lightness of the fibre through its low density (0.233-0.419 g·cm-3), and a hydrophilic nature of the fibre is observed through its water absorption capacity (106.86-180.53%), its relative humidity (9.86-15.33%), and its capacity to diffuse water (2.03×10−14 m2·s-1 to 4.61×10−14 m2·s-1), which is close to that of other plant fibres, which means that it can be classified as porous, with possible applications in insulating and lightweight materials. …”
