Vaccine uptake could influence vaccination efforts to control the widespread COVID-19 pandemic; however, little is known about vaccine acceptance in Saudi Arabia. The present study aimed to assess the Saudi public’s intent to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and explore the associated demographic determinants of their intentions as well as the reasons for vaccine hesitancy. A cross-sectional, web-based survey was distributed to public individuals in Saudi Arabia between 25 December 2020 and 15 February 2021. Participants were asked if they were willing to get vaccinated, and the responses, along with demographic data were entered into a multinomial logistic regression model to assess the relative risk ratio (RRR) for responding “no” or “unsure” versus “yes”. Among 3048 participants (60.1% female, 89.5% Saudi), 52.9% intend to get vaccinated, 26.8% were unsure, and 20.3% refused vaccination. Vaccine hesitancy was significantly higher among females (RRR = 2.70, p < 0.0001) and those who had not been recently vaccinated for influenza (RRR = 2.63, p < 0.0001). The likelihood was lower among Saudis (RRR = 0.49, p < 0.0001), those with less than a secondary education (RRR = 0.16, p < 0.0001), perceived risks of COVID-19, and residents of the southern region (RRR = 0.46, p < 0.0001). The most often cited reasons for hesitancy were short clinical testing periods and concerns about adverse events or effectiveness. Vaccine hesitancy is mediated by many demographic factors and personal beliefs. To address vaccine-related concerns and amend deeply rooted health beliefs, communication should provide transparent information.

Published: July 2021

Dermatophilosis is a form of dermatitis caused by the bacterium Dermatophilus congolensis. The disease usually presents as localized purulent dermatitis, crusty hair masses or widespread matting of the hair. This condition is most common in domestic ruminants; but it can also affect other wild animals and humans. Antimicrobial therapy is used in many regions to treat clinical dermatophilosis with varying results. In this study, we aimed to assess the antimicrobial susceptibility of D. congolensis isolates. Fifty-two isolates were obtained from animals showing clinical signs of the disease at farms in St. Kitts. The isolates were then confirmed as D. congolensis by phenotypic tests, PCR and MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry. Furthermore, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 16 antimicrobial agents were determined, using the broth microdilution method. Although most antimicrobials showed MICs in line with published values, the tetracycline results displayed a clear bimodal distribution over the tested range, with most isolates showing low MICs and 6 isolates much higher values (+/− 100-fold increase). These results indicate the presence of acquired tetracycline resistance in D. congolensis on the island of St. Kitts. Whether the current observation has implications for efficacy of treating the disease must be confirmed in further research.

Published: July 2021

Hydropower remains the most important and largest source of renewable energy. However, besides many additional benefits, such as dams for water supply, irrigation, flood control, recreation, navigation, etc., hydropower generation has a negative impact on the environment. This study aimed to investigate the hydrologic changes in Lithuanian lowland rivers caused by small hydropower plants (HPPs). Thirty-two indicators of hydrologic alteration (IHA) were studied in 11 rivers downstream of hydropower plants in the post-impact and pre-impact periods. The findings showed that HPPs and reservoirs considerably disturbed the primary flow of river ecosystems downstream. The largest changes in mean IHA values were found for low and high pulse characteristics (up to 57%) and the number of reversals (up to 44%). Only small or no deviations of the timing of annual extreme flows were found. The number of reversals, a low pulse count, and a fall rate were the flow characteristics that fell outside their historical ranges of variability most often. Six (out of 11) hydropower plants were identified that provoked hydrologic alterations of a moderate degree.

Published: July 2021

There are many studies on the nonlinear relationship between seepage velocity and hydraulic gradient in coarse granular materials, using different approaches and variables to define the resistance formula applicable to that type of granular media. On the basis of an analysis of the existing formulations developed in different studies, we propose an approach for comparing the results obtained by some of the most important studies on state-of-the-art seepage flow in coarse granular media.
Review of Historical Dam-Break Events and Laboratory Tests on Real Topography for the Validation of Numerical Models
Authors: Aureli Francesca , Maranzoni Andrea , Petaccia Gabriella
Published: July 2021

Dam break inundation mapping is essential for risk management and mitigation, emergency action planning, and potential consequences assessment. To quantify flood hazard associated with dam failures, flooding variables must be predicted by efficient and robust numerical models capable to effectively cope with the computational difficulties posed by complex flows on real topographies. Validation against real-field data of historical dam-breaks is extremely useful to verify models’ capabilities and accuracy. However, such catastrophic events are rather infrequent, and available data on the breaching mechanism and downstream flooding are usually inaccurate and incomplete. Nevertheless, in some cases, real-field data collected after the event (mainly breach size, maximum water depths and flood wave arrival times at selected locations, water marks, and extent of flooded areas) are adequate to set up valuable and significant test cases, provided that all other data required to perform numerical simulations are available (mainly topographic data of the floodable area and input parameters defining the dam-break scenario). This paper provides a review of the historical dam-break events for which real-field datasets useful for validation purposes can be retrieved in the literature. The resulting real-field test cases are divided into well-documented test cases, for which extensive and complete data are already available, and cases with partial or inaccurate datasets. Type and quality of the available data are specified for each case. Finally, validation data provided by dam-break studies on physical models reproducing real topographies are presented and discussed. This review aims at helping dam-break modelers: (a) to select the most suitable real-field test cases for validating their numerical models, (b) to facilitate data access by indicating relevant bibliographic references, and (c) to identify test cases of potential interest worthy of further research.

Authors: Shen Yao , Zhu Lin , Ji Bin , Fan Siqi , Xiao Yabin , Ma Yingqun
Published: July 2021

In this paper, reactivation of microalgal-bacterial granular sludge (MBGS) stored at −20 °C for 6 months was investigated under respective aeration (R1) and non-aeration (R2) conditions. Results showed that the granular activity could be fully recovered within 21 days. The average removal efficiency of ammonia was higher in R1 (92.78%), while R2 showed higher average removal efficiencies of organics (84.97%) and phosphorus (85.28%). It was also found that eukaryotic microalgae growth was stimulated under aeration conditions, whereas prokaryotic microalgae growth and extracellular protein secretion were favored under non-aeration conditions. Sequencing results showed that the microbial community underwent subversive evolution, with Chlorophyta and Proteobacteria being dominant species under both conditions. Consequently, it was reasonable to conclude that the activity and structure of frozen stored MBGS could be recovered under both aeration and non-aeration conditions, of which aeration-free activation was more feasible on account of its energy-saving property. This study provides important information for the storage and transportation of MBGS in wastewater treatment.

Authors: Tron Artur , Mun Junyoung
Published: July 2021

Owing to the rising concern of global warming, lithium-ion batteries have gained immense attention over the past few years for the development of highly efficient electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems. In this study, alpha-phase VOPO4·2H2O with nanosheet morphology was prepared via a facile hydrothermal method for application in high-performance lithium-ion batteries. The X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses indicated that the obtained sample had an alpha-2 (αII) phase, and the nanosheet morphology of the sample was confirmed using SEM. The lithium-ion battery with VOPO4·2H2O as the anode exhibited excellent long-term cycle life and a high capacity of 256.7 mAh g−1 at room temperature. Prelithiation effectively improved the specific capacity of pristine VOPO4·2H2O. The underlying electrochemical mechanisms were investigated by carrying out AC impedance, rate capability, and other instrumental analyses.

Published: July 2021

Methodological approaches to the implementation of the nanostate phenomenon in the formation of the optimal structure of composite materials and metal-polymer systems at different levels of organization have been developed. The concept of energy and technological conformity of the components of functional composite materials and systems is proposed. This concept consists in ensuring the parameters of composite materials energy characteristics adequate to the value of the activation energy of the prevailing structural process, which determines the optimal parameters of stress-strain, adhesion and tribotechnical properties under technological influences on the components in the process of obtaining composite and its processing. The concept has been tested in the development of nanocomposites based on industrial polymer matrices, which surpass analogues in terms of service properties.

Authors: Abramushkina O. I. , Uzorina M. I. , Surikov P. V. , Ushakova O. B.
Published: July 2021

A comprehensive study of the rheological properties of ABS-plastic grades used for the manufacture of fi laments for 3D printing by the FDM method has been carried out. It is shown that under the printing temperature-speed conditions, the viscous properties of melts of different grades and activation energy of their viscous flow differ significantly. The temporal parameters of the thermal stability of melts at an elevated (250°C) temperature were determined by the rheological method. It is shown that, under printing conditions, the polymer does not undergo noticeable degradation, assessed by the change in its effective viscosity. Viscoelasticity, which determines the dimensional accuracy of products and the thickness of the deposited layer, was evaluated by the degree of swelling of the extrudate under different flow conditions. Criteria for the applicability of ABS-plastic grades for fi lament production are proposed.

Authors: SİVRİ Çağlar
Published: July 2021

In this study, the comfort properties of water-proof but breathable (water vapour permeable) textile fabrics having the composite structure containing a membrane layer or a coating layer are examined. In the present study, parameters such as ambient conditions, the air gap between body and garment, thickness of materials used in the production of garments and composite structure affecting the comfort properties of the structures mentioned above were examined. After the selection and obtaining the samples; water vapour permeability, air permeability, waterproofness tests were respectively applied and the results were interpreted in a way that producers and related scientists could benefit. The most important results achieved here are that the water vapour permeability decreases as the thickness of the membrane/coating in which the fabrics are coated/laminated increases, the air gap between the body and the garment reduces the water vapour permeability greatly, the membrane character (microporous / non-porous) has different effects on the water vapour permeability in different ambient conditions. These results sound promising for future studies.

Authors: ÇINAR Mehmet Emin
Published: July 2021

Density functional theory (DFT) computations were performed to unveil the electronic structures and the Kohn-Sham Molecular Orbitals (MOs) of the dimeric aza-BODIPY molecule and its chlorinated form. The optimized conformation of dimers is well in alignment with the one provided in the literature. The HOMO LUMO gap of dichloro-derivative is smaller than that of the dimeric aza-BODIPY molecule by 35.0 meV. The predicted HOMO energies of -6.40 and -6.60 eV point out the good stabilities of both compounds. They were reported to demonstrate bathochromic shifts of 40 and 57 nm compared to their monomers substituted by H and Cl, respectively. The intriguing photophysical behaviors of these molecules were investigated by conducting the Tamm-Dancoff density functional theory (TDA-DFT) calculations. The max values emerge from the HOMO-1 -> LUMO+1 (83-86%) transitions, whereas the low energy transitions arise from HOMO -> LUMO (89%). Therefrom predicted ELUMO->HOMO of the dimeric aza-BODIPY and dichloro-derivative are 1.89 and 1.87 eV, respectively, which are matching well with the reported literature values.

Interactive C++ code development using C++Explorer and GitHub Classroom for educational purposes
Authors: Diehl Patrick , Brandt Steven
Published: July 2021

Teaching C++ programming to non-computer science majors comes with the burden of setting up an integrated development environment, a struggle for most students. Therefore, we present the open source tool, C++Explorer, a Jupyterhub deployment for interactively developing C++ code. Students can connect to the server without installing anything, and, almost instantly, they can begin to engage with code using the notebooks. Another aspect of code development is remote communication with co-workers or the community. To develop this skill, we use GitHub classroom to provide feedback on the assignments and practice remote communication. C++Explorer was used in the fall of 2019 and 2020 to teach parallel computation to mathematics students. At the end of the class, we gather student's feedback. This data will be used to continue improving the course. In addition, we present a Telegram bot for the communication with the server using smartphones or tablets. However, this tool was not used in the course and will be explored in future teaching.
Performance Evaluation of IoT-based SpO2 Monitoring Systems for COVID-19 Patients
Authors: Trie Maya Kadarina  , Priambodo Rinto
Published: July 2021

Internet of Things (IoT) applications can be used in healthcare services to monitor patients remotely. One implementation is that it is used to monitor COVID-19 patients. During the COVID-19 pandemic, people who are infected without symptoms must self-isolate so that the virus does not spread. Measurement of blood oxygen levels or SpO2 is one of the measurements that must be carried out in routine examination procedures for self-isolating patients for early detection of silent hypoxemia in COVID-19 patients. Previous research has developed an IoT-based health monitoring system with a Wireless Body Sensor Network (WBSN) and a gateway that can be used for data acquisition and transmission. The system uses a home pulse oximeter to measure SpO2 and heart rate and an Android application that functions as an IoT gateway to collect data from sensors and add location information before sending data to the server. The WBSN has been successfully integrated with two types of open source IoT platforms, namely ThingsBoard and Elasticsearch Logstash Kibana (ELK). However, it is necessary to carry out further studies on analytical and experimental performance tests of the two systems. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a performance evaluation of the IoT-based SpO2 monitoring systems using the Thingsboard and ELK as IoT platforms. To evaluate the performace we ran the monitoring system on both platforms using pulse oximeter and Android device as IoT gateway with HTTP and MQTT as transport protocol for sending the data to the server. From this study we found that average time of message delivery in ELK compared to ThingsBoard using the same protocols was higher but stable.

Published: July 2021

Respiratory failure (apnea) often occurs in premature babies, this should be avoided because it causes low oxygen concentrations in the blood so that it can damage brain function and lead to death. Apnea is characterized by a decrease in oxygen saturation (SpO2). The purpose of this study was to design an apnea monitor that was detected with SpO2 parameters, alarms, and vibrating stimulation. This study uses infrared and red LEDs that emit light through the surface of the finger and is detected by a photodiode sensor, this light signal will be converted into an electrical signal and calculated by Arduino to determine the patient's SpO2 and BPM values. If the SpO2 value drops 5% within 5 seconds from the baseline, the device will indicate apnea has occurred and the vibrating motor is working. SpO2 signals and alarms are sent to the nurse station computer via Bluetooth HC-05. The instrument was calibrated with an SpO2 calibrator and the measurement results were compared with a BION pulse oximetry brand. The results of the instrument measurement on two subjects on the SpO2 parameter showed an error value of 2% and the BPM parameter obtained an error value of 4.54%. Testing the BPM parameter using a calibrator at the 30 and 60 BPM settings shows an error value of 0% and at the 120 BPM setting the error value is 0.01%. The vibrating motor to stimulate the baby's body when apnea occurs is functioning properly. The results showed that measurements using subjects tended to have high error values ​​due to several factors. This research can be implemented on patient monitors to improve patient safety and reduce the workload of nurses or doctors

Authors: Shinde Priyanka , Kouveliotis-Lysikatos Iasonas , Amelin Mikael
Published: July 2021

The stochastic nature of renewable energy sources has increased the need for intraday trading in electricity markets. Intraday markets provide the possibility to the market participants to modify their market positions based on their updated forecasts. In this paper, we propose a multistage stochastic programming approach to model the trading of a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), comprising thermal, wind and hydro power plants, in the Continuous Intraday (CID) electricity market. The order clearing in the CID market is enabled by the two presented models, namely the Immediate Order Clearing (IOC) and the Partial Order Clearing (POC). We tackle the proposed problem with a modified version of Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming (SDDP) algorithm. The functionality of our model is demonstrated by performing illustrative and large scale case studies and comparing the performance with a benchmark model.
Legal liability of bailiffs in the Russian empire and the Russian Federation (comparative legal analysis)
Authors: Goltsman Elena
Published: July 2021

Based on the methodology of chrono-discrete monogeographical comparative jurisprudence, the article provides a chrono-discret analysis of the legal responsibility of bailiffs in the Russian Empire and the Russian Federation. The author notes that such studies have not been conducted before, and the comparison of the legal responsibility of bailiffs from the point of view of the comparative legal study of the domestic institute of bailiffs suggests not only theoretical significance, but also practical interest.

In one of the articles, the author has already mentioned the normative basis of the institution of bailiffs in the Russian Empire and the Russian Federation, which also affects the responsibility of bailiffs. But over time, the current legislation has undergone a multi-faceted reform. In connection with this circumstance, all issues related to the organization and activities of enforcement agencies are of particular interest.

Returning to the question of the responsibility of bailiffs in the studied periods, the author draws attention to the fact that at present this issue is more defined and developed in comparison with the pre-revolutionary period. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the specific historical situation in the studied periods, the specifics of the political, economic, and social structure, the peculiarities of legal consciousness and mentality. Comparing the legal responsibility of bailiffs in different historical periods can lead to the development of practical recommendations for improving the current legislation regulating the structure and activities of the institution of bailiffs.

Efficient Two Stage Identification for Face mask detection using Multiclass Deep Learning Approach
Authors: Dhaya R
Published: July 2021

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers the COVID-19 Coronavirus to be a global pandemic. The most effective form of protection is to wear a face mask in public places. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted all the countries to set up a lockdown to prevent viral transmission. According to a survey study, the use of facemasks at work decreases the chances of fast transmission. If the facemasks are not used or are worn incorrectly, it contributes to the third and fourth waves of the corona virus spreading throughout the world. This motivates us to conduct an efficient investigation of the face mask identification system and monitor people, who use suitable face mask in public places. Deep learning is the most effective approach for detecting whether or not a person is wearing a face mask in a crowded area. Using a multiclass deep learning technique, this research study proposes an efficient two stage identification (ETSI) for face mask detection. Whereas, the binary classification does not offer information about face mask detection and error. The proposed approach employs CNN's "ReLU" activation function to detect the face mask. Furthermore, in the current pandemic crisis, this research article offers a very efficient and precise approach for identifying COVID-19. Precision has increased as a result of the employment of a multi-class abbreviation in the final output.
Comparison of Stock Price Prediction Models using Pre-trained Neural Networks
Authors: Anand C
Published: July 2021

Several intelligent data mining approaches, including neural networks, have been widely employed by academics during the last decade. In today's rapidly evolving economy, stock market data prediction and analysis play a significant role. Several non-linear models like neural network, generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) and autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH) as well as linear models like Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Moving Average (MA) and Auto Regressive (AR) may be used for stock forecasting. The deep learning architectures inclusive of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) are used in this paper for stock price prediction of an organization by using the previously available stock prices. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India dataset is used for training the model with day-wise closing price. Data prediction is performed for a few sample companies selected on a random basis. Based on the comparison results, it is evident that the existing models are outperformed by CNN.

Nuestra Iglesia surandina, inserta en esta historia que llega a la cima del siglo y estrena un nuevo milenio, desde todas las instancias mira con esperanza, pues el nuevo milenio ya ha comenzado, ha nacido, y sus rasgos típicos están presentes en nuestra realidad cotidiana. Atravesamos un cambio de época donde el fenómeno de la globalización trae consigo una forma universal de modernización tecnológica, cultural y mental que se construye desde la pluralidad y origina en muchos casos crisis de identidad. ¿Cómo articular hoy esta diversidad personal, cultural, religiosa y social?

En la antesala del próximo milenio, podemos comprobar que se han dado muchos cambios, uno de ellos es la globalización. El fenómeno de la globalización está vinculado a las formas y modalidades que han tomado la producción y el comercio de bienes en el ámbito mundial, al igual que los servicios y las finanzas internacionales. Estos cambios producidos en los últimos años son resultado de un conjunto de innovaciones tecnológicas vinculadas fundamentalmente a los notables avances alcanzados en la informática y las telecomunicaciones, en el aprovechamiento de la bioenergía y la manipulación genética.

When we talk about poverty, we are touching on an old topic, as old as our history and that bores some, except, of course, the poor. Today, in our world, we are realizing more and more deeply what it means to be of that kind of people that abounds throughout the world, and what that confinement means that makes it difficult -although not impossible- to leave. Poverty and death are very close terms, poverty and lack of human rights are almost sister terms, poverty and injustice are very similar issues.
Economía y educación

La razón de ser de la educación es el aprendizaje y formación de los alumnos y alumnas y el factor decisivo en ambos procesos son el maestro y la maestra. Una sociedad preocupada por lo más importante debe medir sus logros con indicadores que expresen esa razón de ser y ese factor decisivo. Ello supone mostrar cifras, ya sean de oferta o demanda, pero siempre relativas a esos dos elementos. Lo cuantificado asociable a la calidad de la educación se tendrá que expresar en buena medida de esas cifras. Dicha calidad no puede capturarse ni medirse con indicadores económicos, pero podemos suponer, por lo menos para nuestros países, la existencia de alguna relación positiva entre el gasto por alumno (en profesores, instalaciones, equipos, etc.) y la calidad de la enseñanza en lo que a la oferta se refiere.
Un médico alemán en los Andes

Published: July 2021

Durante la mayor parte del siglo XX, la medicina occidental y la salud pública peruanas estuvieron concentradas en la costa, en las ciudades y, sobre todo, en Lima. Según una estimación realizada a mediados de los años cuarenta, en el Perú existían aproximadamente 1,450 médicos, de los cuales 800 trabajaban en Lima y el Callao y, en contraste, apenas 650 residían en provincias. Este cálculo también estimaba la desigual distribución de recursos que resultaba de estas cifras: mientras que en Lima se cumplía con lo que entonces era el ideal internacional, un médico por cada mil habitantes, en provincias la relación era de uno a 8,000 habitantes.
Narrativas de aflicción de mujeres andinas

Promover la salud y prolongar la vida son algunos de los valores más caros de toda sociedad humana. Tal universalidad contrasta, sin embargo, con lo relativas que son las múltiples maneras de entender la salud y la enfermedad. Las diferencias comienzan con la clasificación de las dolencias, el reconocimiento de los síntomas y la asociación entre éstos y las distintas categorías patológicas. Impregnan el significado de "estar enfermo/a", la relación cuerpo-mente (si se reconociera alguna separación), la influencia del mundo social sobre la percepción de bienestar de las personas, y aun la influencia de seres espirituales y fuerzas sobrenaturales.

Justicia de paz en el Perú

Published: July 2021

Durante los últimos años, las constituciones de Colombia, Perú, Bolivia, Ecuador y Venezuela han reconocido la facultad de administrar justicia a las autoridades de las comunidades indígenas. En el Perú, por razones históricas, este reconocimiento se expresa en relación a las autoridades de las comunidades campesinas y nativas. Sin embargo, en muchos casos, esta facultad no es ejercida por los líderes tradicionales de la población, sino por las personas que el Poder Judicial ha designado: los jueces de paz.
