Overview of Pharmaceutical Aspects of Artificial Nutrition: Simple Review

Artificial nutrition therapy is recognized as a key aspect in the management of critically sick patients, but there is still debate about the appropriate route and timing, particularly in the acute phase. It is a convenient, effective, safe, and well-tolerated method of clinical nutrition in the hospital and at home. When appropriate oral diet fails to supply the body with the required nutrients. EN is normally delivered by a nasogastric technique, whereas PN is usually administered through a central venous access, directly into the bloodstream. The injected nutrients can then be immediately absorbed by the various organs. Early mixed enteral nutrition (EN) and parenteral nutrition (PN) may be an appealing alternative in certain critically sick patients to meet recommended calorie and protein targets. PN is related with potentially serious or even deadly consequences when handled and administered incorrectly. Patient observation and treatment regimen adaptation are required.
The Influence of Carbon Nanotubes on the Physical and Chemical Properties of Nanocomposites Based on Unsaturated Polyester Resin

The new actual scientific direction is in the development of different nanocomposites and the study of their medical–biological, physicochemical, and physicomechanical properties. One way to expand the functionality of nanocomposites and nanomaterials is to introduce carbon nanostructures into the polymer matrix. This study presents the properties of unsaturated polyester resins (Estromal, LERG S.A.) based on PET recyclate with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs): their mechanical and thermomechanical characteristics, resistance to ultraviolet radiation (UV-vis), and chemical resistance properties. The properties of the obtained materials were characterized using physical–chemical research methods. The changes in the properties of the composites for MWCNT content of 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 wt % were determined. The results showed positive influences on the thermomechanical and mechanical properties of nanocomposites without significant deterioration of their gloss. Too much CNT added to the resin leads to heterogeneity of the composite structure.
APPLICATION OF TWO LEVELS OF CALCIUM NITRATE ON SAP NUTRIENTS, GROWTH AND YIELD OF PERSIAN CUCUMBER

Background: Calcium nitrate is a widely used fertilizer in the preparation of nutrient solutions. However, there is still a need to determine the effects of different levels of calcium nitrate on the Persian cucumber crop to optimize fertilization practices and improve crop yield. Objective: To determine the effects of two levels of calcium nitrate in the nutrient solution on the growth, yield, and nutrient content of two Persian cucumber hybrids (Bereket and Cruz). Methodology: The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement (two hybrids and two nutrient solutions) under greenhouse conditions. Results: The nutrient solution with 11 meq L-1 of calcium nitrate increased the concentration of nitrate and calcium in the petiole sap of the Cruz hybrid in the flowering stage; however, the yield of both hybrids decreased. On the other hand, the nutrient solution with 9 meq L-1 of calcium nitrate increased the number of fruits of both hybrids and the yield per plant of the Cruz hybrid. Implications: The Cruz hybrid showed to be more efficient in calcium uptake than the Bereket hybrid, which is interesting since it could require less calcium application without affecting yield. However, other studies are necessary to expand this information. Conclusion: The nutrient solution containing 9 meq L-1 of calcium nitrate showed a significant increase in the number of fruits per plant for both the Cruz and Bereket hybrids. This highlights the importance of appropriate calcium nitrate supplementation in the nutrient solution, as it enhances the production of hydroponically grown Persian cucumbers.
Infilling Direction and Fluid Communication in the E 2 . 0 Reservoir of the Kolo Creek Oil Field , Niger Delta

A suite of oil samples from the E2.0 reservoir in the Kolo Creek oil field in Niger Delta, Nigeria were analysed to discern possible fluid communication between the wells of the reservoir and charging/infilling direction of the reservoir using geochemical tools. The study reveals a close similarity in percentage contents of the saturates, aromatics, resins and asphaltenes in all the oils. The maturity gradient clearly shows a maturation trend in the Southwest-Northeast direction which indicates that subsequent charge from the oil kitchen were more mature than the initial charges. The reservoir appears to be charged with hydrocarbons from source kitchen in the Southwest to Northeast direction. In addition, the use of the interparaffins from the GC fingerprints for correlating the oils indicates a significant degree of communication between the oils thereby ruling out any significant in-reservoir barrier. This information suggests potential ease in producing the R2.0 reservoir and the possibility of other accumulations in the periphery of the field.
Preliminary ecological studies on the Lepidoptera from Khajjiar lake catchment, Himachal Pradesh, India

Received 22.02. 2014; accepted 08.03. 2014; printed 30.03. 2014 A study on the Lepidoptera from Khajjiar lake of District Chamba of Himachal Pradesh revealed the presence of 49 species of butterflies belonging to 41 genera and 10 families. Analysis of data revealed that family Nymphalidae and Satyridae (12 species each) dominated the Lepidoptera fauna of Khajjiar lake catchment, followed by Pieridae and Lycaenidae (6 species each), Hesperiidae (4 species), Papilionidae (3 species), Erycinidae and Danaidae (2 species each), and Acraeidae and Riodinidae (1 species each). Categorization of the species further revealed that of these 49 species, 5 were very common, 32 common, 5 uncommon and 7 were rare. Moreover, 3 species were listed in Indian Wildlife Protection Act (1972), Lethe scanda (Moore, 1857) and Lampides boeticus (Linnaeus, 1767) placed under scheduled II and Castalius rosimon (Fabricius, 1775) under scheduled IV of the Act. Our study revealed that forest area supports the highest diversity of butterflies followed by lake areas and human settlements.
Source estimate and tsunami forecast from far‐field deep‐ocean tsunami waveforms—The 27 February 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule earthquake

We inverted the 2010 Maule earthquake tsunami waveforms recorded at DART (Deep‐ocean Assessment and Reporting Tsunamis) stations in the Pacific Ocean by taking into account the effects of the seawater compressibility, elasticity of the solid Earth, and gravitational potential change. These effects slow down the tsunami speed and consequently move the slip offshore or updip direction, consistent with the slip distribution obtained by a joint inversion of DART, tide gauge, GPS, and coastal geodetic data. Separate inversions of only near‐field DART data and only far‐field DART data produce similar slip distributions. The former demonstrates that accurate tsunami arrival times and waveforms of trans‐Pacific tsunamis can be forecast in real time. The latter indicates that if the tsunami source area is as large as the 2010 Maule earthquake, the tsunami source can be accurately estimated from the far‐field deep‐ocean tsunami records without near‐field data.
Systematic selection of international markets using a hybrid multi-criteria approach: A study in the paper and paperboard industry

Abstract Internationalization makes possible the competitive development of firms. This study proposes a methodology for the selection of international markets that identifies the most favourable international destinations for the paper and paperboard export industry in Colombia. For this purpose, a set of 23 factors divided into 5 categories are defined through literature: costs, trade barriers, logistics, environment and culture, and economy. This comprehensive model is applied to a set of 15 exporting firms and a combination of the multi-criteria models Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Evaluation Based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) is used for its development. The results indicate that the priority factors when choosing an international market are import costs (0.1974), transit time (0.1392), transport frequency (0.1174) and international transport costs (0.0971). Also, considering these priorities, the most viable markets for companies in this sector are Netherlands (0.9894), the United Kingdom (0.9740), Belgium (0.9409) and Germany (0.9351). The results obtained represent the identification of new possible alternative markets for Colombian companies in the paper sector to expand their international reach and develop in significantly more attractive and convenient markets according to their priorities. Also, this article contributes significantly to the development of methodologies for international markets exploration.
Segmentation of Hypocenters and 3-D Vp/Vs Ratio Structure around the Kii Peninsula Revealed by Onshore and Offshore Seismic Observations

The rupture boundary of the Tonankai and Nankai earthquakes is located at the south of the Kii Peninsula. Previous researches revealed along-strike segmentation of hypocenters, P-wave anisotropy, low-frequency earthquake (LFE) distribution and subduction depth of the Philippine Sea (PHS) Plate beneath the Kii Peninsula. In addition, it was found that hypocenters at offshore region are also segmented along the Nankai Trough by using ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) deployed from 2003 to 2007. To investigate such segmentation, in our previous work we determined 3-D velocity structure and hypocenters by using the OBSs and on-land stations. As a result, it was discovered that Vp/Vs ratio is also segmented into three parts within the oceanic crust and at the bottom of the overriding plate, which coincides with the LFE distribution. We interpreted this segmentation as variation of pore fluid pressure. Similar segmentation can be seen in hypocenters. To derive characteristic patterns of the hypocenters for each segment, we conducted a cluster analysis of earthquakes based on waveform cross correlation coefficients (CCs) and hypocenter intervals, where we took varying structural site effects among the OBS stations into account in determining thresholds for CC values. At the western segments, most earthquakes occur within the oceanic mantle, forming NNEtrending linearly aligned clusters, which are considered to occur along preexisting faults. At the middle segment, most earthquakes occur within the oceanic crust and inter-plate earthquake clusters are located at the southern tip of the Kii Peninsula. We interpret these clusters of inter-plate earthquakes represent the heterogeneous state of stress caused by local structural heterogeneity of dense rock body reported in previous studies. The eastern segment is characterized by a paucity of seismicity. From the comparison of magnetic anomaly pattern, it can be considered that this segmentation of Vp/Vs ratio and hypocenters may be related to the opening history of the Shikoku Basin.
Impact of Climate Change on Rare Species in Arid Environments

Climate Change discusses the long-term metrological conditions and patterns. Besides nature, human development has drastically increased the chances of climate change by burning fossil fuels, including oil, gas, and coal. That resulted in turbulence among humans and plants, and animals. This vulnerability or changing climate dynamics has impacted the plants that are the earth's primary source of life. Egypt is one of the countries where the temperature has risen in the past decades due to climate change. In this country, the plants are affected by the vulnerability of this dynamic change of climate, especially the rare plant species. One of the most essential and abundant tools for determining plant species' biological and conservation activity is the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red list. Two species, namely Micromeria serbaliana and Veronica kaiseri, which are called out as critically endangered species, are evaluated in this study. After evaluation, it was seen that Micromeria serbaliana falls under the category of B1ab (iii) + 2ab (iii) and is termed an Endangered (EN) specie. The same situation is for another targeted species which is Veronica kaiseri, which qualifies as Endangered (EN) under categories B1ab (iii) +2ab (iii). Both species are declining and severely getting fragmented in their fields.

The development of a snow routine for the HBV-2 rainfall-runoff model is described. Experiences from field investigation that have contributed to the work are briefly discussed. In the snow routine, snow accumulation and snowmelt are simulated using daily totals of precipitation and mean daily temperatures. The application of the model to a 2178 km 2 forested basin in central Sweden is shown. A critical study of the interaction and effects of the parameters is carried out.
Effect of Organic and Chemical Fertilizers on the Growth Rate of Tambaqui Fish (Colossoma macropomum) (Pisces; Characidae) in Floodplain Fish Ponds in the Eastern Amazon, Pará State, Brazil

The effect of organic and chemical fertilizers in fish ponds on the growth rate of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) from Pará state, Brazil, was the objective of this work. Three 600 m2 fish ponds located in the floodplain of the Guamá River near the city of Belém, at 01°27’20”S; 48°30’15”W, were used where juvenile fish were subjected to three treatments: organic fertilizer (in fish pond 1); organic and chemical fertilizers (fish pond 2); and a control that was not treated with any kind of fertilizer (fish pond 3). The weight to length ratio was calculated and adjusted by the method of the least squares applied to the logarithmic transformations relevant to the data of length and weight. It was found that the application of only organic fertilizer was more efficient for biomass gain than using chemical and organic fertilizers together in floodplain fish farming.
Impact of Fertilizer Type and Vegetative Growth Duration on the Availability of Copper in Clay Loam Soil Planted of Maize (Zea mays L.) in Iraq

The present field trial aimed to study the effect of fertilizer type and growth duration on copper availability in the maize soil. In addition to the control, six different fertilizer treatments of mineral fertilizers, organic fertilizers, and humic acid (two levels each) were applied in the experiment. Soil samples were collected 70 and 100 days after planting. The results present that there were no significant differences between the half-recommendation fertilizer treatments (the first level) for all fertilizers, and the effect of the entire recommendation treatments (the second level) for poultry waste and humic acid 0.37 mg kg-1 and their superiority over the urea fertilization treatments 0.33 mg kg-1 in 70 days of cultivation. At 100 days, the fertilization treatments with poultry waste resulted in the highest concentration of available copper, 0.41 and 0.35 mg kg-1, respectively, the two levels. The results present a decrease in the concentration of available copper in the soil with an increase in the growth period.
Anxiety and Depression in Gifted Individuals: A Systematic and Meta-Analytic Review

This article reviews the experimental research on the level of anxiety or depression in gifted individuals. Twenty-seven studies compared gifted and typically developing individuals for the anxiety level and 15 studies for the depression level comparison. This current meta-analysis was performed on the anxiety and depression levels distinctly. We found a non-significant negative effect size for both anxiety, g = −0.14, k = 27, and depression, g = −0.14, k = 15. These values should be taken cautiously given that a high heterogeneity was also found, which remained largely unexplained by the moderators tested. Only age and type of anxiety assessment emerged as significant moderators for the anxiety domain. The observed effect size for depression was not significantly affected by the subgroups analyzed.
Isotopic Signatures of Nitrogen in Selected Soils from Croatia

The mobility of nitrogen (N) in the environment is conditioned by its cycling between atmospheric, terrestrial, and marine ecosystems. It is a key element for global biogeochemistry, and although isotope analysis has been an integral part of many studies over the past eighty years, the complexity of the nitrogen cycle hinders a correct and detailed understanding of the mechanisms behind its processes. It could be argued that the interpretation of the isotopic signatures of nitrogen in soils is still in its infancy. In Croatia, such research has recently begun and is driven by a need for the comprehensive study of nitrogen isotopes in terrestrial ecosystems. The aim of this study was to compare the abundance of the 15N isotope in soils from continental and coastal parts of Croatia with different types of land use (arable land/crop production, meadows, forests, orchards, ski slopes, urban soil/city roads) and to authenticate the nitrogen origin in soils in relation to different soil management practices. This research was based on 27 soil samples collected at 11 locations in Croatia. The samples differed according to soil type, land use, applied mineral and organic nitrogen fertilization, and climatic condition at each specific location. The determination of δ15NT (T—total nitrogen) values in bulk samples was performed in duplicate with the IRMS (Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry) method using an IsoPrime100-Vario PYRO Cube (OH/CHN Pyrolyser/Elemental Analyzer). The results reveal that the mean δ15N abundance in soils according to different land use declines in the following order: crop production (+5.66 ± 1.06‰) > apple orchard (+5.60 ± 0.10‰) > city road (+4.33 ± 0.38‰) > meadow (+3.71 ± 0.85‰) > ski slope (+2.20 ± 0.10‰) > forest (+2.15 ± 1.86‰). The individual values were in the range from 0.00 ± 0.10‰ in the forest soil in continental Croatia to +7.19 ± 0.07‰ in the vegetable garden (crop production) soil in coastal Croatia. Among the investigated soil properties and weather conditions, PCA analysis identified close correlations between P2O5 content and δ115N abundance in arable soils, as well as between soil reaction (pH) and mean annual temperatures, while high C/N ratio values explained the isotopic distribution in non-arable soils (city roads and forests). Despite the long-term application of mineral nitrogen fertilizers, the results represent nitrogen of organic origin in the arable soils (crop production), which partly confirms the sustainable management of those agroecosystems.
Norphlet Formation (Upper Jurassic) of Southwestern and Offshore Alabama: Environments of Deposition and Petroleum Geology

Upper Jurassic Norphlet sediments in southwestern and offshore Alabama accumulated under arid climatic conditions. The Appalachian Mountains of the eastern United States extended into southwestern Alabama to provide a barrier for air and water circulation during the deposition of the Norphlet Formation. These mountains produced topographic conditions that contributed to the arid climate, and they affected sedimentation. Norphlet paleogeography in southwestern Alabama was dominated by a broad desert plain, rimmed to the north and east by the Appalachians and to the south by a developing shallow sea. The desert plain extended westward into eastern and central Mississippi. Norphlet sedimentation initiated as a result of basin subsidence accompanied by erosion of the southern Appalachians. Norphlet conglomerates were deposited in coalescing alluvial fans in proximity to an Appalachian source. The conglomeratic sandstones grade downdip into red beds that accumulated in distal portions of alluvial fan and wadi systems. Quartz-rich sandstones were deposited as dune and interdune sediments on a broad desert plain. The principal source of the sand was updip alluvial fan and plain and wadi deposits. Wadi and playa lake sediments also accumulated in the interdune areas. A marine transgression was initiated during the late phase of deposition of the Norphlet Formation, resulting in the reworking of previously deposited Norphlet sediments. Norphlet hydrocarbon potential in southwestern and offshore Alabama is excellent; six oil and gas fields already have been established. Petroleum traps discovered to date are primarily structural traps involving salt anticlines, faulted salt anticlines, and extensional fault traps associated with salt movement. Reservoir rocks consist primarily of quartz-rich sandstones that are eolian, wadi, and marine in origin. Porosity is principally secondary (dissolution) with some intergranular porosity. Smackover algal carbonate mudstones were probably the source for the Norphlet hydrocarbons. Jurassic oil generation and migration probably were initiated in the Early Cretaceous.
Screen printable PANI/carbide-derived carbon supercapacitor electrode ink with chitosan binder

Polyaniline (PANI)/carbide-derived carbon (CDC) was synthesized by using in-situ chemical oxidative polymerization of PANI in presence of CDC. Conductive electrode ink materials were prepared by using eco-friendly chitosan binder in water media. In the following, symmetrical supercapacitors (SCs) were fabricated by both doctor blade coating and screen printing technique. The electrical conductivity, morphology, specific capacitance, and energy density of these composites were evaluated for their applicability as SC electrodes. Pure PANI with chitosan binder was not printable because of its brittleness, however, the presence of CDC allows the preparation of smooth films which are suitable for electrode preparation. The fabricated composite electrode has a higher specific capacitance (up to 419 F g−1) and higher energy density (up to 6.7 W h kg−1) compared to the pristine CDC electrode. The capacitance of screen-printed SCs was 440–470 mF with an equivalent series resistance of about 27 Ω.
Psychological Empowerment and Psychological Well-Being as Job Performance Mediators

This study aims to investigate the relationship between perceived organizational support (POS), psychological empowerment, psychological well-being, and job performance among 150 employees in the Indonesian telecommunications sector. This sample size aligns with the requirements for Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis. Data was collected through a questionnaire using a Likert scale with two parts, covering respondent profiles and research variables. SmartPLS was employed for data analysis, and various tests were conducted to ensure data reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. The findings highlight key factors influencing job performance in this context. Firstly, psychological empowerment has a significant positive impact on job performance, emphasizing the importance of empowering employees for enhanced productivity. Secondly, psychological well-being also significantly influences job performance, indicating the connection between employees' mental health and their job performance. Interestingly, perceived organizational support (POS) itself doesn't directly impact job performance but indirectly influences it through the mediation of psychological empowerment. In other words, strong organizational support boosts employees' empowerment, leading to improved job performance. The study also underscores the joint mediating roles of psychological empowerment and psychological well-being, suggesting that organizations should focus on enhancing POS while nurturing empowerment and well-being to optimize job performance.
