Published: April 2024

The Mediterranean Sea is a region threatened by fast environmental
changes and high coastal human impacts. Over the last decade, recurrent
blooms of the harmful dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf. ovata have been
recorded in many Mediterranean beaches. Here we investigate whether the
spatial-temporal distribution of this microalga and the frequency of its
blooms could be altered in future regional climate change scenarios,
with a special focus in the Western basin. An ecological niche model
forced by physical and biogeochemical high-resolution climate change
simulations under the strong greenhouse gas emission trajectory (RCP8.5)
was used to characterize how O. cf. ovata may respond to projected
conditions and how its distribution could shift in this plausible
future. Before being applied to the niche model, the future climate
change simulations are further refined by using a statistical adaptation
method (Cumulative Distribution Function transform) to improve the
representativity of the environmental parameters. Our results depict
that O. cf. ovata abundances are driven by temperature (optimum 23-26
°C), high salinity (> 38 psu) and high inorganic nutrient
concentrations (nitrate > 0.25 mmol N·m-3 and phosphate
> 0.035 mmol P·m-3). Future projections suggest no changes
in bloom intensity for mid- and end-century. Nevertheless high spatial
disparities in future abundances are observed.. Namely, O. cf. ovata
abundances could increase in the Mediterranean coasts of France, Spain
and the Adriatic Sea while a decrease is expected in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The bloom period could also be enlarged, starting earlier and extending
later in the year, which could have important consequences on marine
ecosystems, human health and economy. From a methodological point of
view, this study highlights good practices of ecological niche models in
the context of climate change to identify sensitive areas for current
and future harmful algal blooms.

Published: April 2024

This paper presents a novel approach of combining classifiers outputs for audio emotion recognition. The proposed classifiers ensemble technique combines the confusion matrices of base classifiers. It is because some classifiers with overall lower performance have better accuracy for a specific class as compared to others with overall higher accuracy. In this approach, the best results obtained for different emotion classes from various classifiers are combined to create a combined confusion matrix. The performance of this approach was analyzed using three emotional speech databases in different languages, i.e., Berlin emotional speech database (EMO-DB), Italian emotional speech database (EMOVO-DB), and Surrey audio-visual expressed emotion database (SAVEE-DB). The openSMILE toolkit was used to extract a total of 8543 audio features. These features include pitch, energy, intensity, jitter, shimmer, formants, MFCC, MFB, LSP and spectral features. These features were normalized using min-max normalization technique, while correlation-based feature selection (CFS) with best-first search approach was used for feature reduction. The classification was performed using five different base classifiers, i.e., SVM, MLP, IBK, AdaBoost, and Random Forest. The experimental results showed better performance for the proposed technique as compared to other state-of-the-art methods. The classification accuracies obtained for seven emotion classes were 91.8%, 83.7%, and 80.5% for the EMO-DB, EMOVO-DB, and SAVEE-DB, respectively.

Investment Professionals’ Preferences Regarding Income Statement Presentation
Authors: Allee Kristian D. , Erickson Devon , Esplin Adam , Yohn Teri Lombardi
Published: April 2024

The FASB continues to debate useful format and disaggregation choices of financial performance information as part of its disaggregation of income statement expenses project. Using a survey of 235 investment professionals, this study provides insight into their preferences regarding income statement presentation and standardization. Overall, we find that investment professionals are generally satisfied with the level of disclosure firms currently provide in the income statement. However, the investment professionals surveyed generally think that companies should be required to use the same labels for common lines on the income statement and that operating and nonoperating activities should be formally defined. They also generally think that GAAP should allow managers flexibility to present non-GAAP measures or subtotals on the income statement. Our study provides insights for the FASB on the views of investment professionals and for academics and financial statement users regarding the information preferences of key information intermediaries in financial markets.

Enhancing Solar Still Efficiency: Optimal Water Depth and Wire Mesh-Pebble Structures
Authors: Kumar Dinesh , Ramasamy Raja
Published: April 2024

In underdeveloped countries, the shortage of clean drinking water is a major problem. One approach to tackle this issue has been to use solar energy for desalination, a process that turns saltwater into fresh water. This method utilizes solar thermal energy to evaporate water, separating the pure water from the salty water. However, traditional solar stills face challenges in producing sufficient water because of the limited heat transfer between the absorbing plate and the fluid used to extract energy. The research aims to improve the efficiency of solar stills for water desalination. In conventional solar stills, maintaining optimal water depth is a challenge. The study experimented with varying water depths (2 cm to 12 cm) in a modified solar still. The best result, with a maximum distillate output of 2050 ml/m2day, was achieved at a 2 cm water depth. To enhance performance, wire mesh and pebbles were added to increase absorptivity, raising the temperature of saline water. This modification led to a significant improvement, with the modified solar still producing a maximum distillate of 2670 ml/m2day. This research provides valuable insights into optimizing solar stills for better water yield and thermal efficiency.

Newcastle Disease (ND) is one of the infectious diseases that easily attack broilers. Vaccinations carried out to optimize chicken immunity often get unsatisfactory results, so green meniran (Phyllanthus niruri Linn.) is needed as an immunostimulator. Green meniran leaf extract contains flavonoid compounds as the main component to trigger T cells to help B cells to produce antibodies. This study aims to determine the effect of meniran leaf extract (Phyllanthus niruri Linn.) on booster vaccinated broilers on ND antibody titer. The research design used was a complete randomized design in a nested pattern with a total of 30 broilers divided into three treatment groups, namely 10 broilers not given the ND La Sota booster vaccine and not given meniran leaf extract but given a placebo (K-), 10 broilers given the ND La Sota booster vaccine without meniran leaf extract (K+), and 10 broilers given the ND La Sota booster vaccine and meniran leaf extract in drinking water for seven days before and 14 days after vaccination (P). The samples used were one day before booster vaccination (9-day-old broilers), one week after booster vaccination (17-day-old broilers) and two weeks after booster vaccination (24-day-old broilers). Serum obtained was examined serologically by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test. The data obtained were analyzed statistically Analysis of Variance (Anova) with a significant level of 5% and regression analysis using SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solution) software. The results showed that in the administration of meniran leaf extract(Phyllanthus niruri Linn.) and the effect of sampling time after ND booster vaccination had an increase in ND antibody titer which was significantly different (P < 0.05) in treatment P with a mean of 2.8; 4.3; 7.1 and a total mean of 4.7 (titer in HI log 2). Regression analysis showed that the P treatment had the highest increase in the third week after ND booster vaccination compared to the K- and K+ treatments.

Bacterial resistance has occurred in several antibiotics due to irrational use which makes treatment ineffective. This study aims to determine the resistance of Escherichia coli to the antibiotics streptomycin, kanamycin and ampicillin in broilers in Penebel District, Tabanan Regency of various ages. The research samples were isolated from broiler feces with a total of 20 samples of young broilers and 20 samples of adult broilers. This research used a randomized block design (RBD) by comparing the inhibition zones formed. The results of the sensitivity test using the Kirby-Bauer method of 40 E. coli isolates against streptomycin in young broilers were not resistant (0%), adult broilers were 30% resistant and 30% intermediate, to the antibiotic kanamycin there was no resistance (0%) in all age, and resistance to ampicillin has occurred in 10% of young broilers and 55% of intermediates, 65% of adult broilers and 10% of intermediates. There was a significant decrease in the zone of inhibition for the antibiotics streptomycin and ampicillin against E. coli between young broilers and adult broilers, whereas there was no significant decrease for kanamycin. Strict biosecurity and continuous sensitivity testing are needed so that disease prevention and treatment can be maximized.

Authors: Pyatibrat A. O. , Sannikov M. V. , Tsikunova N. S.
Published: April 2024

Relevance. Considering the modern geopolitical situation, the increased risk of terrorist attacks and large-scale disasters enforces more stringent requirements to the non-stop readiness to emergency response, overstretching efficiency parameters and stress tolerance in employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia.

The objective is to identify the indicators of professional psychological maturity among employees of the State Fire Service (GPS) of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia.

Methods. Using the Bass–Darky technique (BDHI), the WHOQOL-26 quality of life questionnaire and the Maslach burnout syndrome questionnaire (MBI), 182 employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia were examined (98 individuals with work experience of 5 years and over and 84 individuals with work experience of 2 years or less); the control group included 122 individuals of non-extreme professions. The age of respondents ranged from 20 to 35 years. The survey data were verified for parameter distribution normality; arithmetic averages and standard deviations were calculated.

Results and discussion. The performance of duties by firefighters in extreme scenarios (intense physical exertion and mental stress) may be associated with exhibiting negative personality manifestations, such as aggression, suspicion, hostility, psychological manifestations of professional burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced professional communication), decrease satisfaction with the quality of life. It turned out that firefighters with work experience of 5 years and over show a significantly higher rate of such manifestations and develop them faster than professionals doing other jobs.

Conclusion. The conducted research shows the need for further studied regarding the psychological status of firefighters, especially after 5 years of professional experience.

Authors: Theertha A P , Shivakumar M S , Krishnamurthy K S
Published: April 2024

The genetic variability in selected 21 black pepper accessions was analyzed based on desirable drought-tolerant and susceptible characteristics using principal component and cluster analyses. The experiment was conducted at ICAR-Indian Institute of Spices Research, Experimental farm, Peruvannamuzhi, Kozhikode using a randomized block design with four replications. Morphological, physiological and yield contributing traits were studied. The traits examined showed a comprehensive range of variability. The principal component and UPGMA clustering analyses were employed to assess the proportional contribution of various traits and grouped the genotypes, respectively. The first principal component was responsible for the highest variation (30.87%) in the yield-related characteristics, which were positively correlated with each other and correlated negatively with the morphological characteristics and stomatal frequency. Separate clusters were formed for the genotypes that displayed drought-tolerant characteristics (cluster 2 and 3) and those that showed susceptible characteristics (cluster 1). The results indicated that the analysed black pepper genotypes have significant genetic variability among them which may be helpful for identification of genotypes with desirable drought tolerant characteristics. Accessions 7211 (cluster 2), 1495, 1343 and 4132 (cluster 3) showed characteristics that make them potentially drought tolerant while the accessions 5717 and 4064 (cluster 1) showed drought susceptible traits.
Semantics and structure of the concept of “Bogatyrstvo” in epics and modern linguistic consciousness
Authors: Dmitrieva Natalya Mihailovna , Korobeynikova Anna Alexandrovna , Malahova Olga Mikhailovna , Polovnikova Anastasiya Yurievna
Published: April 2024

The subject of the study is the concept of "Bogatyrstvo" and its structural and semantic features. Bogatyrstvo is inextricably linked with the hero and with the plot of epics. In epics, it is perceived as a concept-script, that is, it is formed in the process of the entire narrative. However, the original structure of the concept is presented as a conceptual field of meanings inscribed in a more complex structural formation – the ethical concept of "Courage". The relevance of the research is dictated by the high precedent of the name of the concept and its dominant verbalizers. The semantic field of the concept is explored in etymological, historical and topical layers. The main semantic load of the etymological layer of the concept is formed in the Church Slavonic language. The historical layer is vividly represented in the dictionaries of the XIX and XX centuries, the latter captures the limitation of the "existence" of the concept by the genre of epic. The actual layer is revealed in the process of studying the consciousness of modern students.      The purpose of the article is to identify the reference points (slots) that formed the basis of the concept. A special contribution of the authors and the novelty of the study is the conduct of a semantic experiment, which established that in the minds of modern native speakers, the concept Bogatyrstvo, for which analysis methods were used (analysis of dictionary definitions and contextual analysis of epics), semantic analysis (the "supporting" semantic shares of the concept of "Bogatyrstvo" were identified, their key verbalizers were highlighted) and the method of semantic experiment to identify the modern perception of the concept. The main conclusions of the study: 1) the concept of "Bogatyrstvo" has a static frame structure and a field structure, including slots "spiritual strength" and "physical strength". Spiritual strength lies in the constant readiness to stand up for the motherland as a manifestation of true courage and heroism; in the fate of the hero-defender, ordained from above; in the Christian faith. The physical strength of the hero is, as it were, the personification of the whole strength of the Russian people, given by God. 2) These slots are present in the epics in the dynamic structure of the script: the slot "physical force" unfolds to the whole epic action; the slot "spiritual force" is expressed through the entire epic narrative – this is the very motivation for action. A special contribution of the authors and the novelty of the study is the conduct of a semantic experiment, which established that in the minds of modern native speakers, the concept of "Bogatyrstvo" is presented statically and includes both slots, with the predominance of the slot "spiritual power".

Authors: Dhar Susmita , Datta Samaresh , Yadav Akash
Published: April 2024

Hyperglycemia, polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and renal glycosuria are all symptoms of diabetes mellitus (DM), also known as diabetes. Diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemia, there is a possibility that the illness could result in a number of different complications, some of which include cardiovascular disease, chronic renal disease, stroke, foot ulcers, visual damage, nerve damage, and cognitive impairment. The principal objective of this research was to regulate whether or not a methanolic extract of Cyperus articulates (MECA) rhizome possessed an antidiabetic effect. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of MECA as an antidiabetic agent, streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were used in an experiment involving thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. In the aforementioned experiments, it was discovered that in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats, MECA at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg reduced blood glucose levels from ‘254.41 ± 11.7 to 98.50 ± 2.5 and 283.83 ± 27.8 to 96.35 ± 3 mg/dl respectively, while glibenclamide-treated rats had a decrease in blood glucose from 291.12 ± 17.1to 91.50 ± 1.7 mg. This decrease was statistically significant (p < 0.05) when compared to the healthy control group. The effects of MECA on TBARS, GSH, and catalase in experimentally diabetic rats were found to be more pronounced than in the saline control group, and a greater rise in lipid peroxidation in the liver and kidney was seen in the diabetic group than in the saline group. Liver and kidney TBARS levels were observed to be considerably (p < 0.05, p < 0.001) reduced after MECA treatment, as were GSH levels in the STZ-control group and catalase activities in the experimental rats

Community Enterprises: Snapshots from Italy
Authors: Albanese Massimo
Published: April 2024

Community enterprises are not a new type of organisation, but in recent years they have attracted increasing interest for their role in various areas, particularly in depleted contexts. Numerous studies analysed these enterprises in their natural context, but national and international overviews are lacking. We, therefore, do not know how many community enterprises there are, in which sectors they predominantly operate, and so on. Due to the scarcity of data, it is very difficult to provide a picture of community enterprises at the international level, whereas it is more feasible to represent these realities at the national level. Although Italian community enterprises are organisations that are not easily identifiable in the available databases, this paper aims to provide some snapshots to sketch the phenomenon in Italy. The work has a heterogeneous audience because it is of interest to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. It has implications from a research and practical point of view, as it develops a way to identify Italian community enterprises and provides valuable elements for understanding the efficacy of specific policies and actions, and a piece of knowledge to build a picture of community enterprises.

Alumina is a ceramic bio inert biomaterial having purity 99.5% Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and 0.5% Magnesium oxide (MgO), find its wide application in dental implant due to good bio-compatible property with adjacent tissue, better wear and aesthetic characteristics. This paper represents the in-vitro tests conducted to evaluation toxicity by cell culturing on Alumina biomaterial used in the dental implant by both direct contact and extraction method. In the present study in-vitro assessment of tissue bio compatibility was conducted on L929 cell line (mouse fibroblast). In-vitro test, the toxicity of Alumina specimen was done by computing percentage of viability in a cell cultured medium. An MTT system was used to measure the active cell activities with mitochondrial-dehydrogenases, which is an easy method which gives accurate and precision results. The results of biocompatibility in-vitro test by both Direct and Extraction methods confirmed that Alumina exhibits a highest cell growth of 93.05% and resulted with zero grade cytotoxicity. Alumina having good aesthetic characteristics i.e., colour of the implant matches with the tooth colour. Hence Alumina is a best candidate alternate implant material compared to other metal implants.

This project describes the design and implementation of a non-contact vibration picker for capturing data from spinning machinery in order to detect bearing faults early. The Hilbert transform is used to denoise the collected vibration signals, and the dataset is then analyzed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Sequential Floating Forward Selection (SFFS) for dimensionality reduction and feature selection, respectively. The most essential attributes are then used to identify and categorize various bearing issues using Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithms. The entire methodology provides an effective and proactive way for bearing health monitoring and maintenance, emphasizing fast defect identification and leading to significant savings in time, effort, and equipment maintenance costs.

The integration of blockchain technology with placement management systems and job recommendation mechanisms presents a robust solution for enhancing the efficiency, transparency, and security of the recruitment process. This paper proposes a Blockchain-based Placement Management System (BPMS) coupled with Content-Based Filtering (CBF) techniques to streamline the job matching process for both job seekers and recruiters. The BPMS leverages the decentralized nature of blockchain to ensure immutable records of job listings, candidate profiles, and transactional data, thereby reducing the risk of fraudulent activities and ensuring data integrity. Smart contracts are utilized to automate various aspects of the recruitment process, such as job application submissions, candidate evaluations, and offer acceptance, facilitating trustless interactions between parties.In parallel, the CBF approach is employed to provide personalized job recommendations to candidates based on the analysis of their skills, qualifications, and preferences. By analyzing the content of job descriptions and candidate profiles, the system generates tailored recommendations that match the expertise and interests of the candidates, improving the likelihood of successful placements.The proposed system offers several advantages over traditional placement management systems, including increased transparency, reduced operational costs, minimized bias in job recommendations, and enhanced security of sensitive data. Through the synergy of blockchain technology and content-based filtering techniques, the BPMS aims to revolutionize the recruitment industry by fostering trust, efficiency, and fairness in the job market.

We have made great progress in resolving the crucial problem of location privacy in Vehicular Impromptus Networks (VANETs), an essential component of Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS), using our innovative block chain-based trust management methodology. VANETs' high inherent mobility has long presented security issues, especially when it comes to using Location-Based Services (LBS). Our creative solution gives cars the ability to request LBS while protecting their personal data with a secure verification process. Vehicle privacy is protected via the creation of anonymous shrouding zones, and vehicle behaviour is controlled and governed by an advanced trust management algorithm. By using block chain technology, the system's data security is strengthened even more, resulting in a strong, impenetrable architecture. Thorough testing has proven the system's resilience against a range of assaults based on trust models, proving its efficacy in protecting vehicle privacy. The outcomes of our simulation demonstrate the practicality of our suggested method in actual VANET circumstances, pointing to the possibility of a new era in safe and private ITC systems.

The popularity of social media continues to grow, and its dominance of the entire world has become one of the aspects of modern life that cannot be ignored. The rapid growth of social media has resulted in the emergence of ecosystem problems. Hate speech, fraud, fake news, and a slew of other issues are becoming un-stoppable. With over 1.7 billion fake accounts on social media, the losses have al-ready been significant, and removing these accounts will take a long time. Due to the growing number of Instagram users, the need for identifying fake accounts on social media, specifically in Instagram, is increasing. Because this process takes a long time if done manually by humans, we can now use machine learning to identify fake accounts thanks to the rapid development of machine learning. We can detect fake accounts on Instagram using machine learning by implementing the combination of image detection and natural language processing.
