A 47-year-old Caucasian traveller from an mpox (formerly monkeypox and also best suited abbreviated MPX)-endemic country was referred for a skin rash, of recent onset, confined to the genital area. The rash consisted of erythematous umbilicated papules, vesicles and pustules with a characteristic white ring. The lesions were observed simultaneously at different stages of progression on the same anatomical site, a clinical presentation that is not encountered frequently. The patient was febrile, fatigued and had blood-tinged cough. The clinical suspicion of mpox was raised, and the initial real-time PCR identified a non-variola orthopox virus, which was confirmed at the National Reference Laboratory to belong to the West African clade.
Adjuvants for COVID-19 Vaccines

Published: April 2023

In recent decades, the improvement of traditional vaccines has meant that we have moved from inactivated whole virus vaccines, which provoke a moderate immune response but notable adverse effects, to much more processed vaccines such as protein subunit vaccines, which despite being less immunogenic have better tolerability profiles. This reduction in immunogenicity is detrimental to the prevention of people at risk. For this reason, adjuvants are a good solution to improve the immunogenicity of this type of vaccine, with much better tolerability profiles and a low prevalence of side effects. During the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination focused on mRNA-type and viral vector vaccines. However, during the years 2022 and 2023, the first protein-based vaccines began to be approved. Adjuvanted vaccines are capable of inducing potent responses, not only humoral but also cellular, in populations whose immune systems are weak or do not respond properly, such as the elderly. Therefore, this type of vaccine should complete the portfolio of existing vaccines, and could help to complete vaccination against COVID-19 worldwide now and over the coming years. In this review we analyze the advantages and disadvantages of adjuvants, as well as their use in current and future vaccines against COVID-19.

Published: April 2023

The performance of microalgae-based wastewater treatment processes for ammonium-N (NH4+-N) removal depends on the maintenance of a favorable pH that is critical for minimizing nitrogen escape in the form of free ammonia (NH3) and preventing high-NH3 or extreme-pH stress. This study developed a CO2-inorganic carbon (CO2-IC) buffering system that automatically stabilized pH with the supply of a carbon source for efficient photosynthetic reclamation of NH4+-N by a euryhaline microalga Tetraselmis subcordiformis. The soluble (NaHCO3) and insoluble (CaCO3 and MgCO3) ICs were compared for this purpose. The pH was well controlled in the range of 6.5~8.5 in the CO2-IC system, which was suitable for the photosynthetic growth of T. subcordiformis. The NH4+-N (100 mg/L) was almost completely removed in three days, with the maximum removal rate of 60.13 mg N/L/day and minimal N escape of 19.65% obtained in the CO2-NaHCO3 system. The CO2-IC system also restricted the release of extracellular organic matter by preventing stress conditions. The CO2-NaHCO3 system enabled the highest “normal” starch production suitable for fermentation, while the CO2-CaCO3/MgCO3 system facilitated high-amylose starch accumulation that was conducive to producing bio-based materials and health-promoting ingredients. The proteins accumulated in T. subcordiformis were of good quality for animal feeds.
Can Zooplankton Add Value to Monitoring Water Quality? A Case Study of a Meso/Eutrophic Portuguese Reservoir
Authors: Pinto Ivo , Nogueira Sandra , Rodrigues Sara , Formigo Nuno , Antunes Sara C.
Published: April 2023

Despite the key role of zooplankton communities in regulating the water quality of lentic ecosystems, they are absent from the list of biological elements of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) for the assessment of ecological status. Based on this, the present work was a case study that aimed to understand the relevance of zooplankton as a bioindicator for classifying the water quality of reservoirs. For one year and in each season, the water quality of the Torrão reservoir was assessed using the mandatory elements proposed by the WFD in the sampling year (second cycle) and the legislation currently applicable (third cycle). Additionally, zooplankton samples were collected to characterize the community dynamic. The water quality of the Torrão reservoir does not reach the WFD good ecological potential. Furthermore, with the updating of the criteria, the classification tends to get worse. Concerning the zooplankton, the occurrence of Cyclopoida and Bosmina are associated with lower water quality, as well as the collapse or low abundance of the Daphnia population, in the same periods. Low abundances of zooplankton are associated with better water quality, and the Shannon-Wiener diversity values decrease with the increase of the trophic state. High-efficiency feed filters and macrofiltrator organisms dominate the Torrão reservoir in all seasons, which is associated with low water quality. The Calanoida/Cyclopoida ratio shows a strong and negative association with the trophic state. The occurrence and abundance of species, Shannon-Wiener diversity, functional groups (high and low efficiency feed filters and macrofiltrators), and different ratios (large Cladocera/total Cladocera and Calanoida/Cyclopoida) are promising and valuable tools to determine the water quality status, and should be considered within the WFD metrics. Notwithstanding this, further research including reservoirs from different geographical areas with various trophic status and pressures must be analyzed.
Influence of Seawater Characteristics on Antibiotic Pollutant Removal via Fe(II)-Peroxymonosulfate-Modified Clay
Authors: Jiang Yuxin , Cao Xihua , Li Fang , Song Xiuxian
Published: April 2023

Antibiotics have been identified as emerging pollutants, and they increasingly threaten the safety of mariculture; thus, effective treatment methods are urgently needed. In this study, Fe(II)-peroxymonosulfate-modified clay (Fe-PMS-MC), an effective mineral complex for harmful algal bloom control, was tested for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) removal from seawater. The results showed that SMX removal efficiency increased gradually from 42.3% to 100% in seawater in 6 h as the Fe-PMS-MC dose increased from 0.1 g/L to 1.0 g/L; this removal was more efficient than that in freshwater. Both an increase in temperature and the addition of inorganic anions such as Cl−, HCO3−, and SO42− improved the SMX removal efficiency; in contrast, there was no noticeable influence of a pH change from 3.0 to 9.0 or of Heterosigma akashiwo biomass addition from 103 cells/mL to 105 cells/mL. Oxidation was the main mechanism for the removal of SMX by Fe-PMS-MC treatment, and the mechanisms included radical oxidation and non-radical oxidation. PMS was the key component in Fe-PMS-MC for the production of radicals, which increased with temperature. Similarly, both radical oxidation and non-radical oxidation increased when PMS was attacked by Cl−, HCO3−, and SO42− in seawater.
Assessment of the Midseason Crop Coefficient for the Evaluation of the Water Demand of Young, Grafted Hazelnut Trees in High-Density Orchards
Authors: Vinci Alessandra , Traini Chiara , Portarena Silvia , Farinelli Daniela
Published: April 2023

Knowledge of crop water requirements is important in supporting irrigation management. Evapotranspiration (ET) is commonly measured with a variety of instruments and field procedures, but it is also typically computed or modeled using the FAO56 or FAO66 methods. The adoption of this approach requires the assessment of the crop coefficients. Some data are available for own-rooted hazelnut trees, but no data have been reported for young and grafted hazelnut trees. There is a need to update nut–tree crop coefficients, especially considering modern cultivars and production systems, such as those with a high tree density per ha−1. In this paper, the FAO66 crop transpiration coefficient Kc,Tr and the FAO56 dual crop coefficients Kcb were assessed for the mid-growing season of a young grafted hazelnut orchard. The field data were acquired manually and using UAV. The coefficients were determined for three tree densities and for two growing seasons. The crop coefficients, obtained using the FAO66 method, agreed with the literature data referring to low densities, while the FAO56 method could allow us to better define the crop coefficients for high-density hazelnut orchards.

Published: April 2023

The problem of osteoporosis and habitual fractures associated with it is extremely relevant, since it has not only medical, but also social significance. In 28 % of cases, a hip fracture in the elderly ends in death, and death occurs from secondary complications as a result of prolonged immobilization. A sick patient becomes a burden for family members, suffers himself/herself and makes others suffer. Limitation of the ability to move and self-service deteriorates the quality of life and often leads to disability in elderly patients.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become a major public health problem worldwide. NAFLD is the most common chronic liver disease in developed countries and is estimated to affect 25 to 30 % of the adult population. Currently, NAFLD is considered as a multisystem disease that affects not only the liver, but also the cardiovascular system. Ultimately, these changes may be responsible for the increased cardiac morbidity and mortality associated with NAFLD. Consistent with this finding, and based on the fact that cardiovascular disease (CVD) complications often determine outcomes in patients with NAFLD, the clinical guidelines of the Russian Scientific Liver Society and the Russian Gastroenterological Association, as well as the European Clinical Practice Guidelines for the management of NAFLD recommend that a cardiovascular risk assessment should be performed in all NAFLD patients.

Hawelti-Melazo: the French legacy and recent research In memoriam Henri de Contenson(1926-2019)
Authors: Menn Thomas M.
Published: April 2023

Dans les années 1950, les travaux archéologiques de la Section d’Archéologie se sont déroulés non seulement à Aksoum mais aussi à Haoulti-Melazo, à une dizaine de kilomètres au sud-est. Ici, plusieurs sites ont révélé des structures sabéennes et aksoumites. Bien que la communauté scientifique ait pris acte des fouilles à Haoulti-Melazo – et cela principalement grâce aux activités archéologiques d’Henri de Contenson – aucune autre investigation n’a été effectuée pendant les 50 années qui ont suivi. Depuis 2009, un projet de coopération éthioallemand – impliquant l’Institut archéologique allemand (DAI), l’Université d’Iéna, l’Autorité éthiopienne pour la recherche et la conservation du patrimoine culturel (ARCCH) et le Bureau de la culture et du tourisme du Tigrai (TCTB) – est en cours dans ladite région et mène des recherches sur le patrimoine culturel. En l’honneur d’Henri de Contenson – décédé en septembre 2019 – cet article donne un bref aperçu de l’histoire de la recherche sur Haoulti-Melazo, de l’héritage laissé par les archéologues français et de la façon dont – après des décennies d’inactivité – ces travaux ont repris.

Las enfermedades crónicas degenerativas de mayor impacto por sus altas tasas de letalidad son el cáncer, la diabetes, y los síndromes cardíacos, principalmente. Debido a que el uso sostenido de fármacos de origen sintético conlleva en una gran mayoría de casos la aprición de efectos secundarios o colaterales como la disfunción renal, hepática o cardíaca, su aplicación hasta el fin de la cura resulta inefectiva y en algunos casos perniciosa. La medicina tradicional basada en fármacos de origen vegetal, ha sido y sigue siendo una alternativa terapéutica para la cura o tratamiento de enfermedades. De entre los componentes químicos de las plantas medicinales, las antocianinas, son un tipo de flavonoides, bien reputados por sus propiedades antioxidantes ideales para la prevención o tratamiento de las enfermedades mencionadas. Los métodos experimentales desarrollados para examinar la efectividad de las antocianinas sobre enfermedades crónicas degenerativas han mostrado resultados potenciales para incorporar estos compuestos dentro formulaciones combinadas con otros fármacos, inclusive sintéticos. Las propiedades funcionales de las antocianinas pueden aportar un valor agregado cuando éstas se incluyen en formulaciones medicamentosas (terapéuticas) o alimenticias (nutraceúticos), yendo así más allá de su utilización común de colorantes naturales.

Systems Thinking and Integrated Thinking for Integrated Reporting
Authors: Singh Nikita , Skae F. Owen , Pearse Noel
Published: April 2023

Industries and institutions are under pressure to do no harm in their processes of value creation, capture and delivery whilst  actively  limiting the harm their operations cause. As a consequence, and in the quest for more accountable, sustainable and humane behaviour, industries and institutions are being increasingly called upon to report on their operations in an integrated manner. Integrated reports combine information on the financial and non-financial aspects of firm performance with the purpose of showing how an organisation creates, preserves or erodes value over time. Such a report is usually of interest to providers of financial capital wishing to understand the wider impacts of the organisation, but are now becoming a document of interest to all types of stakeholders, including community members, customers, potential funders, academic institutions, suppliers and business partners. The integrated report is an outcome of several interrelated activities in a firm, including governance, strategic management, stakeholder engagement and risk management, to name a few. A variety of studies have indicated that whilst the construction of a comprehensive integrated report is a complex undertaking, skills related to systems thinking and integrated thinking can aid in the process. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate this connection between integrated reporting and systems thinking. Through the application of systems thinking it is proposed that the ability to perceive the interconnectedness of an organisation’s activities and resources and to be able to employ higher-level reasoning with regard to them, is enhanced. This can contribute to more effective governance and management of organisations, and by extension, to more realistic, comprehensive and informed integrated reports.
Digital Transformation: A Foundational Capability Building Block Perspective on Maturing the IT Capability
Authors: Carcary Marian , Doherty Eileen
Published: April 2023

The enterprise-wide scope of an organisation’s IT capability in sustainably leveraging technology for business value is well-researched, and the level of maturity of this capability is a key determinant of an organisation’s success. IT capability maturity has become more critical as technological developments continue at an accelerated pace and as whole industries are being disrupted by digital developments. Maturity in terms of IT leadership, IT processes, IT infrastructure, and a myriad of other supporting organisation-wide capabilities is required. Since the 1980s, maturity models in the literature have focused on specialist niche areas, with few adopting a holistic perspective. Across these models, a lack of consensus is evident on the key capabilities that should be matured and on what the important sub elements or building blocks of these capabilities are. How does the organisation achieve an adequate level of maturity if the required capabilities are unclear? 

 

As one of the most holistic IT capability maturity models identified, this paper undertakes a systematic analysis of the 36 IT capabilities within IT Capability Maturity Framework (IT-CMF) and the 315 sub elements (Capability Building Blocks (CBBs)) that comprise these capabilities. This research aims to identify the common sub elements or building blocks inherent across the 36 capabilities, which we will refer to as Foundational Capability Building Blocks (FCBBs), and a high-level definition of these FCBBs abstracted from the relevant sub elements and discussed in terms of their recognised importance to effecting successful digital transformations. From an academic perspective, the research provides deeper insight on common themes that are pertinent to IT capability improvement. From an industry practitioner perspective, it breaks down the complexities of IT capability maturity with a focus on a manageable number of considerations.

The article considers the possibilities of using specially designed services for detecting and preventing intrusions into the wireless network of internal affairs bodies. When choosing an intrusion detection and prevention service, it is necessary to proceed from the goals of its operation (software, architecture type, service package, potential threats). While an attacker needs physical access to a wired network to launch an attack, a wireless network allows anyone within range to passively monitor traffic or even launch an attack. One countermeasure can be the use of wireless intrusion prevention systems.

Published: April 2023

Одним из приоритетных направлений в борьбе с туберкулезом является своевременная и достоверная диагностика туберкулеза легких. Для диагностики туберкулеза легких на современном этапе широко используются иммунологические методы. Оценка результатов пробы Манту и кожной пробы с препаратом Диаскинтест (АТР – аллерген туберкулезный рекомбинантный) носит субъективный характер, а также различается в разных странах и поэтому не всегда может быть достоверным критерием установления диагноза туберкулеза. Иммунодиагностика туберкулеза стала более информативной на современном этапе благодаря разработке и внедрению иммунологических тестов нового поколения IGRA (Interferon Gamma Release Assay). IGRA-тесты автоматизированы, и поэтому их результаты более объективны. Эти тесты позволяют выявить активные и латентные формы туберкулеза и характеризуются высокой специфичностью и чувствительностью. Все методы иммунологической диагностики, используемые на современном этапе, имеют как преимущества, так и недостатки. Поэтому они могут использоваться в зависимости от цели и возможностей лечебного учреждения и обязательно должны интерпретироваться в комплексе с другими диагностическими методами.

One of the priorities in the fight against tuberculosis is the timely and reliable diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. For the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis at the present stage, immunological methods are widely used. Evaluation of the results of the Mantoux test and skin test with the drug Diaskintest (ATP) is subjective, and also varies in different countries and therefore may not always be a reliable criterion for establishing a diagnosis of tuberculosis. The immunodiagnosis of tuberculosis has become more informative at the present stage due to the development and implementation of a new generation of immunological tests IGRA (Interferon Gamma Release Assay). IGRA-tests are automated and therefore their results are more objective. These tests can detect active and latent forms of tuberculosis and are characterized by high specificity and sensitivity. All methods of immunological diagnostics used at the present stage have both advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, they can be used depending on the purpose and capabilities of the medical institution and must be interpreted in conjunction with other diagnostic methods.

Performative Aesthetics: An Exploration into DLT-Ceramic Composite Wall Assemblies
Authors:   Laurentian University, Beites Steven
Published: April 2023

The paper presents the early development of a novel mass timber-ceramic wall assembly that speaks to the importance of sustainable, performative and aesthetic potentials within the built environment. The work seeks to broaden the extensive body of research conducted on the robotic additive manufacturing of customized ceramic clay printing for large scale construction, exploring the possibilities of clay for its performative and formal capacity. It employs the use of an industrial robotic platform not as a device for automation, but for its ability to produce unique elements through a craft-based methodology in search of variability and specificity. Recognizing the limitation of ceramics as a load bearing material, it seeks to uncover its potential when combined with mass timber. As a result, dowel-laminated timber (DLT) is explored for its numerous advantages including structural efficiency, low toxic manufacturing processes, its inherent renewability and speed of construction. With the renewed interest in mass timber structures in recent years, we are nonetheless confronted with the realities of this unique natural material. Being both anisotropic and hygroscopic, wood’s inherent moisture-storage capacity makes it susceptible to water and air infiltration, vapor migration and condensation (Gagnon et al. 2013). Whether it be dowel-laminated or cross-laminated, timber’s sensitivity to moisture and its vulnerability to the elements renders itself unsuitable as a cladding application. Responding to this need, traditional cladding solutions for mass timber assemblies generally do not offer sustainable alternatives nor do they provide heightened aesthetic interest. As a result, the paper explores the production of material effects that go beyond superficiality by addressing the shortcomings of exposed mass timber wall assemblies through the development of a protective ceramic ventilated façade system that combines ornamental effects with performative criteria.
A Bibliometric Review of Life Cycle Research of the Built Environment
Authors:   University of Maryland, Hu Ming
Published: April 2023

Life cycle assessment has been used as an analysis tool to help decision-makers plan for mass urbanization and building construction; however, the research to date focuses on either the individual building scale or overall urban scale. Although several methodologies have been applied to both scales, the results have not been reconciled or synchronized. In light of this, this paper first presents a systematic literature review using bibliometric network data to assess state-of-the-art knowledge of the use of LCA at different scales from 1990– 2017. Second, the paper identifies the main research foci at the building and urban scales. At the building scale, three research focal points are identified: building materials and products, design solutions, and energy consumption/emissions reduction. At the urban scale, there are three research areas of focus as well: urbanization and infrastructure planning, urban metabolism (water/energy/waste synergy), and complexity of urban issues. Next, the most influential papers and journals are presented. Drawing upon the findings from the literature review, major gaps in current research activities are identified as the building-centric approach, energy performance–centric approach, and lack of consideration for uncertainties. These are critical areas requiring further study and research.
Development of Maternal Health Literacy Measurements: A Scoping Review
Authors: Putri Anggie Pradana , AM. Ady Irawan , Lu Yu Ying
Published: April 2023

Background: Maternal health literacy (MHL) is essential in identifying pregnant women with limited MHL, especially in the post-COVID-19 period. The data can assist in the design of tailored interventions for improving MHL. Nevertheless, MHL measurements are not routinely applied because more general health literacy scales are used to assess MHL in pregnancy. Objective: This study aimed to provide an overview of MHL measurement development. Method: A scoping review was utilized in this study. The search was conducted through four electronic databases (CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct) published in English and Indonesian between 2001 to 2021, with the searching process of PCC (Population: pregnant women, Concept: maternal health literacy instrument development, Context: clinical or community setting). The selection process of the articles is referred to as Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Result: The selected articles' critical appraisal was done using The Joanna Briggs Institute Checklist. The measurements of MHL are Maternal Health Literacy and Pregnancy Outcome Questionnaire (MHLAPQ), Maternal Health Literacy (MaHeLi), and Maternal Health Literacy Inventory in Pregnancy (MHELIP). These instruments are adequate, valid, and reliable. The MHELIP is the fittest instrument to capture the MHL concept because it consists of specific items to measure MHL in pregnancy. Future studies must investigate this topic as thoroughly as the current material available in some databases. In addition, healthcare practitioners can apply the MHL in pregnancy measurement to analyze and report client cases, contributing to the expansion of MHL's body knowledge.

The purpose of this study was to determine the motives for a career in the government sector for IPDN students. This research uses qualitative method with phenomenology approach that aims to know the world from the point of view of the person who experienced it directly or related to the nature of human experience, and the meaning that is attached to it. The result of the research shows that their motives for a career in the government sector of IPDN students are divided into four motives, the first motive is the success of the closest person, second is the failure to become Indonesian Army and Indonesian Police Officer, third is economic limitations and the fourth is the improvement of social status.IPDN students have a positive self-concept. This is illustrated by how they view themselves, and how they view other students, both around their campus environment (Jatinangor) and generally in Indonesia. For them, non-IPDN students are not superior at all, even IPDN students tend to feel superior to general students, both academically and disciplined. Moreover, these students are very confident that they are indeed prepared to become leaders in the society.Keywords: Phenomenology, Motives, Career, IPDN Students.
Kajian Situasi dan Kondisi Anak Korban Pariwisata Seks di Lingkungan Wisata Kota Makassar
Authors: Hidayat Rahmat
Published: April 2023

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh situasi dan kondisi korban pariwisata seks anak (ESKA) beberapa tahun belakangan ini menjadi sorotan berbagai kalangan. Besaran jumlah kasus setiap tahunnya meningkat cukup signifikan. Meskipun belum ada data yang pasti mengenai jumlah dan sebaran khususnya di Makassar, namun di duga perkembangan Eksploitasi Seks/Komersial Anak (ESKA) semakin memprihatinkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji situasi dan kondisi korban pariwisata seks anak dari sisi latar belakang geografis korban dan keluarganya, faktor penyebab korban terjerat sebagai korban pariwisata seks anak, umur, dan pendidikan korban. Lokasi penelitiannya adalah dalam lingkungan Wisata Kota Makassar yang terdiri dari lokasi pantai Losari,Tanjung Bayam, Tanjung Merdeka, Tanjung Bunga, Paotere,Tanjung Bayam, di lokasi pulau yang memiliki daya tarik oseanorium misalnya Khayangan,Samalona, di Lokasi Benteng Roterdam, Lokasi Somba Opu, Trans Studio, dan beberapa lokasi wisata lainnya yang ada di Makassar. Wawancara penelitian dilakukan denganKepolisian Resort Kota Makassar, Lembaga Perlindungan Anak, pekerja sosial, staf medis, penduduk setempat, tokoh masyarakat atau tokoh agama, pengelola industri wisata, mucikari/germo, dan korban pariwisata seks anak. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa masuknya anak-anak kedalam industry seks, disebabkan oleh karena berasal dari keluarga miskin, anak-anak yang mendapat perlakuan salah dan penindasan, paksaan, penipuan serta situasi keluarga yang tidak nyaman dan bahkan mereka mendapat kekerasan fisik dan seksual di dalam rumahnya sendiri sebelum dikirim ke industri pariwisata, selain itu pengaruh media televisi yang menampilkan nilai komsumerisme dan gaya hidup perkotaan, padahal anak-anak yang berasal dari pinggiran kota dan pedesaan belum mampu memiliki nilai-nilai tersebut. Hal lain disebabkan oleh situasi dimana anak-anak yang berada di daerah wisata rentan untuk menerima eksploitasi seksual dari pelaku kejahatan seksual. Ditinjau dari segi umur dan pendidikan, pada umumnya anak-anak yang menjadi korban memiliki usia sekitar 16-18 tahun, anak sekolahan (SMA), bahkan ada diantarnya hanya sampai pada jenjang SMP lalu putus sekolah.Kata Kunci: Situasi Dan Kondisi, Anak Korban Pariwisata Seks, Lingkungan Wisata

In this study, a coiled anode that generates a magnetic field using a DC arc was designed and employed in a cathodic vacuum-arc deposition system. Its performance was evaluated by the formation of TiN films with and without a magnetic field. When the magnetic field was applied by the coiled anode, the deposition rate was approximately 1.5 times faster than that without the magnetic field. In addition, a reduction in the number of droplets with films of the same thickness was expected. Furthermore, the hardness of the film was improved by approximately 10% with the magnetic field of the coiled anode, resulting in a very hard film of 43.7 GPa. These results suggest that the coiled anode is effective in reducing the number of droplets and is promising for the formation of super-hard films, which are preferred for cutting tools.

Published: April 2023

Current agricultural research is relevant to crop yield prediction. While there are many mathematical methods for predicting agricultural yields, regression analysis is still one of the more popular ones. The effectiveness of the prediction model is crucial, and it is greatly influenced by the selection of the target function. The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective regression model for predicting the production of grain corn, soybeans, and winter wheat. Data on actual crop yields and water use were gathered within 1970-2020 at the Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture's test plots in the Kherson region of Ukraine. The best subsets regression technique was used to evaluate 145 data pairs to identify the model that provided the greatest fitting quality and prediction accuracy. Microsoft Excel and BioStat were used to conduct all the calculations. The best accuracy is recorded for the hyperbolic (reverse) function in soybeans, quadratic and hyperbolic functions in winter wheat, and cubic function in grain corn. To sum up the study's findings, it is advised that cubic regression function should be employed to estimate crop yields in agricultural studies.

Методом молекулярної динаміки досліджено структурні зміни у гексатичній двовимірній фазі, утвореній в процесі плавлення структури р(4×1), що виникає при адсорбції літію на гранях (112) вольфраму та молібдену. Показано, що при Т = 160 К у гексатичній фазі відбувається перехід першого роду внаслідок різкого збільшення кількості кінків у практично лінійних ланцюжках атомів. Це супроводжується флуктуативним виникненням і руйнуванням некогерентних структур і пов’язано з включенням у дифузійні процеси колективних механізмів дифузії та відповідає основним ідеям теорії дислокаційних механізмів фазових переходів у двовимірних системах.
