Exploring local lignocellulosic substrates for the production of edible mushrooms in Northwestern Argentina
Authors: Delgado Nicolás , Miranda Victoria , Barros Johana , Isla María Inés , Fracchia Sebastián
Published: November 2024

La Rioja province annually produces approximately 75,000 tons of agricultural residues and derived materials from agro-industrial activities, which could potentially be incorporated into oyster mushroom cultivation. This study aimed to evaluate the viability of this lignocellulosic biomass as a substrate for the cultivation of edible mushrooms belonging to the genus Pleurotus. Initially, the mycelial growth of two species (P. ostreatus and P. djamor) was assessed by formulating combinations of local substrates. Experimental crops were grown employing the most promising substrates, which were subsequently selected for chemical characterization. It was found that both strains exhibited maximum mycelial growth in the substrate formulated with jojoba leaf litter. A comparison of the two strains revealed no direct correlation between mycelium growth and productive performance. The highest biological efficiency (BE) values were obtained when P. ostreatus was cultivated in treatments combining jojoba leaf litter and grape pomace with olive pomace. Furthermore, these treatments showed suitable chemical properties and were formulated from problematic waste generated in large quantities in the region without proper processing and disposal methods. In this context, there is potential to ensure a continuous supply of this lignocellulosic biomass for cultivating these mushroom species over an extended period of time, thus providing a sustainable alternative for these regional by-products.

Published: November 2024

Se estudió la composición y toxicidad de restos de panojas y tallos de Chenopodium quinoa Willd. de las variedades Faro y CICA-17 cultivadas en Amaicha del Valle, Provincia de Tucumán. Luego de la cosecha y trilla, se procesaron restos de panojas y tallos de ambas variedades y se obtuvieron extractos hidroalcohólicos por maceración convencional y por extracción asistida con microondas. El contenido de compuestos fenólicos fue mayor en los extractos de restos de panojas obtenidos por extracción asistida con valores de 14,81 ± 0,07 y 14,20 ± 0,15 mg EAG/ g ps para las variedades CICA-17 y Faro, respectivamente. La determinación de saponinas indicó su presencia sólo en los extractos de restos de panojas de ambas variedades en una concentración muy baja, comparados con los que habitualmente se informa para los granos de quinoa. En tallos de ambas variedades, se determinó el contenido de nitrógeno orgánico,  proteínas, grasas totales, iones Ca+2 y Mg+2, humedad y cenizas totales. Los resultados para los restos de tallos mostraron que el contenido de nitrógeno orgánico y el porcentaje de proteínas fueron similares en ambas variedades, mientras que la concentración de lípidos totales fue mayor para la variedad Faro (4,68 mg Lip/g ps). En cuanto al contenido de cenizas totales, humedad total, iones calcio y magnesio, se observaron mayores valores para la variedad Faro. Los extractos de los residuos de ambas variedades de quinoa no exhibieron actividad hemolítica frente a eritrocitos humanos ni toxicidad aguda frente a Artemia salina. En base a los resultados obtenidos se propone que los residuos poscosecha de ambas variedades de quinoa podrían ser empleados como ingredientes para la formulación de alimentos balanceados de animales que forman parte de la producción pecuaria de la región, reforzando la idea que la quinoa debe ser considerada como una planta multipropósito.

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding uses a tungsten electrode and argon or helium gas for shielding. It offers excellent shielding, stable arc, adjustable heat input, minimal spattering, and attractive welds. Widely used in various industries, especially for thin materials like galvanized sheets, TIG welding can be challenging for dissimilar materials like galvanized steel and low-carbon steel due to their different melting points. Studying optimal welding parameters is crucial for success. This research focuses on TIG welding of SPCC-SD (JIS 3141) and SGCC (JIS 3302) materials with thicknesses of 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm. The electric current was varied at 45, 50, and 55 A, whereas the gas flow rate was varied at 12, 15, and 18 LPM. The weld bead diameter was varied as 5, 8, and 10 mm. Subsequently, the welded samples were subjected to tensile testing using a SHIMADZU AGS-X 10Kn STD E200V tensile testing machine. The data from the tensile tests were analysed using S/N ratio analysis and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with the assistance of the Minitab software. The results of the S/N ratio analysis indicated that the most optimal parameters were an electric current of 55 A, flow rate of 15 LPM, and weld bead diameter of 10 mm. Conversely, the ANOVA revealed that the weld bead diameter significantly influenced the tensile load in TIG welding of SPCC-SD (JIS 3141) with SGCC (JIS 3302) materials, accounting for up to 44.42% of the variation. Following the weld bead diameter, the flow rate and welding current contributed to 21.93% and 16.41%, respectively.

Authors: Sri Sakinah  , Muhammad Tahir  , Wahyuni  , Nurun Salaman Alhidayat  , Wahyuni
Published: November 2024

Backgrounds: Diabetes Mellitus is a condition characterized by high levels of sugar in the blood caused by abnormal insulin production in the body, leading to metabolic disorders that can gradually damage parts or all of the body. Diabetes mellitus can cause serious complications if not properly treated or managed, including neuropathy, which is the most common complication resulting in nerve damage. Neuropathy can be detected early in several ways, including using the monofilament test and Ipswich touch test (IpTT).
Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of the monofilament test and Ipswich touch test (IpTT) in the early detection of neuropathy complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Method: This study is a quantitative quasi-experiment with a posttest-only control group design. The sample in this study consisted of 32 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, divided into 2 groups: 16 respondents who were treated with the monofilament test and 16 respondents who were treated with the Ipswich touch test. Due to the results of the statistical analysis indicating non-normally distributed but homogeneous data, the Mann-Whitney test was used for data analysis.
Results: From the results of the tests carried out, a significance value of 0.003 < 0.05 was obtained; this suggests that the Monofilament Test and Ipswich Touch Test (IpTT) are effective in the early detection of neuropathy complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, between the two, the monofilament test was found to be more effective compared to the Ipswich Touch Test, with a mean result of 20.84 > 12.16.
Conclusions: Both the monofilament test and Ipswich touch test (IpTT) are effective in the early detection of neuropathy complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The power of commemorative policies: Do street names influence people?
Authors: Oto-Peralías Daniel , Carmona-Derqui Demetrio , Gutiérrez Mora Dolores
Published: November 2024

Naming streets and public spaces after prominent figures and national symbols following a cultural and political agenda is a widespread practice of governments throughout the world. We study whether these commemorative policies actually influence people. Street names are ubiquitous urban elements; subtle pieces of information embedded with cultural and political meanings to which individuals are exposed on a daily basis. Through in-person and online surveys, we find that respondents have much more knowledge about the figures commemorated in their streets and give more importance to them, compared to similarly relevant figures. We also find suggestive but inconclusive evidence of the influence of street names on gender and religious attitudes. These results have far-reaching implications for urban naming policies around the world as well as for debates about the efficacy of interventions conducive to socially desirable outcomes. They also inform how people acquire knowledge, form their opinions and attitudes, and construct their identities.

Published: November 2024

Social media platforms offer a rich but complex view of individuals' mental states. Leveraging these data for clinical monitoring requires tools that can distill vast social media timelines into concise, clinically relevant insights. This work investigates the potential of large language models (LLMs) to generate such summaries, offering a scalable approach for mental health monitoring.We first propose a hybrid modeling framework that combines a hierarchical variational autoencoder (VAE) with an LLM, pushing model performance beyond a naive LLM prompting approach. The VAE first creates a temporally-aware, first-person abstractive summary of the user's timeline. Specialized clinical prompts then guide the LLM to transform this summary into an integrative, third-person clinical narrative.We conduct a thorough assessment of the model-generated summaries, comparing them to summaries written by clinicians for 30 social media timelines. Our evaluation employs human ratings of factual accuracy, meaning preservation, and clinical usefulness, alongside a qualitative analysis by clinical experts. We utilize automatic metrics to assess summary diversity as a proxy for personalization; that is, the system's ability to capture individual idiosyncrasies.The findings reveal that while current LLMs show promise in generating factually consistent and informative summaries, and may exhibit greater comprehensiveness than human summaries, they struggle to capture nuanced psychological understanding, provide accurate mental state assessments, and achieve the same level of personalization as human clinicians.

Alevism and the Politics of Religious Freedom
Authors: Walton Jeremy F. , Ilengiz Çiçek
Published: November 2024

This chapter describes the recent emergence of a multifaceted Alevi movement in Turkey and amongTurkish and Kurdish immigrant communities in Europe. It provides an overview of the recent historyof Alevi communities, political representatives, and organizations. Broadly, Alevi civil societyorganizations can be divided into two camps according to their attitude toward the Turkish state and,particularly, the Directorate of Religious Affairs (the Diyanet): accommodationist and abolitionist.Accommodationists seek integration within and representation by the state and the Diyanet;abolitionists foreground institutional separation and advocate for the Diyanet’s dismantlement.Whether on the left, center, or right, Alevi organizations have framed their grievances as part of global efforts to secure “religious freedom.” This chapter analyzes contemporary Alevism through the lens of religious freedom, adumbrates the forms of knowledge that religious freedom privileges and precludes for Alevis, and surveys the institutional and discursive plurality that defnes the Alevi movement.

Published: November 2024

To limit the impacts of climate change, the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions (CE) correlated with the energy sector must be decreased. Reduction of CE will have a positive effect on the atmosphere by avoiding the adverse impact of global warming. To attain an eco-environment, the initial energy resource needs to move from traditional fossil fuels to unpolluted renewable energy (RE). Thus, enhancing the utilization of RE actively decreases air pollution and adds secure sustainable energy allocation to ensure future energy needs. Integrating sources of RE not only drops CE but also decreases fuel consumption, leading to significant economic savings. This paper presents the transition of global energy that will have a largely positive impact on the growth and future stability of economies with cost-effective and more sustainable all over the world. Significant reductions can be accomplished by using applicable policies and technologies. In the context of current discussions about climate change and the reduction of CE, this paper critically analyses some policies, technologies, and commonly discussed solutions. Technologies like digital twin (DT), transfer learning (TL), Edge Computing (EC), Distributed Computing (DC), and some other technologies with their work for the reduction of CE are discussed thoroughly in this paper. The given techniques in this survey paper present the best optimal solutions for CE reduction.
Energy Management through Multi-objective Optimization of Cost and Pollution
Authors: Ovi Shakhawat Iqbal
Published: November 2024

Energy management and optimization have become an emerging necessity in microgrids, considering that in recent times, the integration of renewable energy resources has gained quite a lot of importance in reducing dependency on non-renewable resources. This paper focuses on optimizing the cost and level of pollution in the microgrid, which are two mostly contradictory elements, through an effective allocation of energy demands among DERs and the main grid. In this work, the Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization technique is employed to handle the financial implications and environmental impacts involved in microgrid operations. Indeed, it is expected that this work will provide ample information on how economic and ecological considerations can be traded off during energy management.
An Approach to Utilize Piezoelectric Materials to Convert Kinetic to Electrical Energy with Sustainability
Authors: Bakshi Tasbih
Published: November 2024

The global reliance on fossil fuels continues to drive climate change, contributing to 60% of greenhouse gas emissions and localized air pollution. This research investigates the potential of piezoelectric materials to harness kinetic energy from vehicles as a renewable source of electricity. A device, the Smart Energy Meter, was engineered to measure the voltage and power generated by piezoelectric materials placed on a moving vehicle. Experimental trials varied vehicle speeds and piezoelectric surface areas, with results indicating that increasing both parameters enhances energy generation. Although the energy produced was small, the findings suggest that large-scale application of piezoelectric materials could power peripheral vehicle systems. This approach offers potential for developing alternative clean energy sources, with implications for electric vehicle technology, energy harvesting, and other sustainable applications. Future research may optimize this system for broader energy production through advancements in materials, vehicle integration, and smart engineering technology.

Published: November 2024

Industrialization in East Asia has significantly impacted air quality, with South Korea facing severe particulate matter (PM) pollution. Urban forests offer a promising solution, but selecting the most effective tree species requires a nuanced approach. This study introduces the Particulate Matter Index (PMI), a structured weighting system that prioritizes tree species based on PM reduction capacity, regional suitability, and environmental compatibility within urban settings. Additional indices—the Regional Index (RI) and Place Index (PI)—evaluate optimal growth conditions and local environmental factors, such as allergen levels and air pollution tolerance. By applying this framework, tree species are categorized according to PM reduction potential and tailored to meet the unique environmental needs of residential, traffic, and industrial areas. This research aims to support urban forest initiatives, empowering local governments to create healthier, sustainable urban environments through informed tree selection.

Authors: Sridhar Sruthi , Steenekamp Bronwyn , Manuel Anthea , Sayin Belkis , Biagi Nicolò , Wake Shannon , Morriss Jayne
Published: November 2024

Checking behaviours are engaged to prevent adverse outcomes and alleviate uncertainty. However, there is still a gap in our understanding as to how factors such as threat level and performance feedback impact the frequency of checking and associated concomitants. To address these questions, we collected data across two lab sites (n = 208) and manipulated threat level (low threat: performance score only; high threat: mild electric shock based on performance score) and performance feedback (no feedback, feedback) during a visual discrimination and checking task. Throughout the task, we recorded checking frequency, ratings of the urge to check and distress, task performance, and corrugator supercilii activity. High threat versus low threat led to increased checking frequency in one testing site, but not the other. No effect of performance feedback was observed on checking frequency. Performance feedback was associated with the urge to check differently across sites. Both, high threat versus low threat, and no feedback versus feedback, were separately associated with improved task accuracy for easier trial types. Lastly, no feedback, compared to feedback, was associated with greater engagement of the corrugator supercilii. These results suggest that: (1) higher threat level increases checking behaviour to some extent and improves task performance, and (2) the absence of feedback improves task performance and is associated with greater distress or effort. Overall, these findings provide insight into how factors such as threat level and performance feedback differently impact checking behaviour and its concomitants.
Covert Systematic Social Observations: A Method to Detect Ethnic Profiling in Police’s Selection of Citizens for Stop-and-Search

Several police practices, including stop-and-search actions, involve selecting citizens for controls. These selection procedures have faced extensive criticism for being biased with respect to socio-demographic factors. However, the different methodologies adopted in prior research to assess target selection have made it difficult to evaluate the actual existence of biases, especially due to difficulties in establishing a comparable benchmark population. To circumvent these limitations, we propose using covert systematic social observations as a method to investigate and evaluate the potential bias of police’s selection procedures. Using the weapon control performed by the Dutch police in Amsterdam in 2022 as a case, we present a method to detect selection biases based on ethnic profiles of citizens that can be reliably applied and has the benefit of allowing for varying police’s selection practices. In sum, given how covert on-site observations offer a realistic picture of how the situation unfolds, we recommend this as a method to examine stop-and-search actions and other bias-prone citizen selection procedures.
