Algorithm reality – intentionality and instrumentality by  V. Е. Kukel

“…This article presents a philosophical analysis of algorithms through the synthesis of Edmund Husserl’s concept of intentionality and Martin Heidegger’s instrumentality, revealing their ontological status as phenomena that connect consciousness and practical activity. The author proposes a synthetic model integrating three key aspects: the instrumental nature of algorithms, which «disappear» during use by focusing attention on the result (Heidegger); their intentional essence as products of consciousness directed toward constituting objects through formalization (Husserl); and Quentin Meillassoux’s concept of contingency, which frames algorithms as temporary stabilizations of a fundamentally unstable reality. …”

Degradation of bisphenol A using a MOF@COF-modified polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane by Chloe G Hahn, Soraya P Malinga, Thollwana A Makhetha

“…Certain endocrine disrupting chemicals, such as Bisphenol A were found to persist in water after conventional water treatment processes due to their hydrophobicity and stability. This necessitates efficient removal methods due to a variety of limitations in conventional water treatment processes, such as harmful byproducts, saturation, and membrane fouling. …”

A novel Cu–Al LDH/g-C3N4 Z-scheme photocatalyst for environmental remediation of cresol red by Alaka Rath, Pratyush Kumar Sahu, Aslisha Champati, Abanti Pradhan, Ashish Madhual, Pravat Manjari Mishra, Brundabana Naik

“…The LDH/GCN nanocomposite exhibited superior photocatalytic performance, achieving 97% degradation of cresol red within 90 min, compared to the pristine Cu–Al LDH and g-C3N4 of 74% and 69% respectively. This enhanced activity is attributed to the synergistic interaction between Cu–Al LDH and g-C3N4, which facilitated efficient charge separation and increased production of reactive intermediate species. …”
