This study investigates the satisfaction of tourists visiting to the Eagle Festival, an event that is important to extend the tourism season and spread the heritage of falconry (eagle hunting), and how the relationship with place attachment and authenticity affect the event and how it affects the motivation of tourists’ revisit. The empirical data were collected from the international tourists via questionnaire that yielded 102 usable surveys at the Golden Eagle festival in Bayan-Ulgii Mongolia for 2 days. Officially, 250 international tourists came to participate Golden Eagle Festival and survey was collected 40.8 percent of spectators. Data was analyzed by using regression analysis to determine how relationship between cultural authenticity, and place attachment, also how these variables affect tourist satisfaction and revisit intention. According to the survey results, the value of the “Golden Eagle” festival has decreased year by year due to the organizational problems, and the increased tendency of tour operator companies’ preference to organize private eagle festivals for their own tourists, even in the survey it resulted spectators were satisfied. Conversely, it is easier to organize small events in Bayan-Ulgii province due to the relevance of cultural authenticity, place attachment, and accessibility of the event which are beneficial for participants. Consequently, these small events positively affect the tourist satisfaction and revisit intention. Considering most of the eagle festivals have similar program content, it is natural for tourists to choose travel programs and events with fewer people and more photo opportunities. Furthermore, in order to improve event management, it is important to highlight the practical significance of the event. A detailed study of the stakeholders is recommended.

Nighttime light data provides an important method for monitoring urbanization and regional development, but its specific applicability needs to be further explored. Nighttime light data provide a new way to obtain urbanization information. Based on GIS and RS technology, this paper obtains Mongolian nighttime light data from 1992 to 2018 by correcting DMSP/OLS and NPP/VIIRS data, aiming to analyze the applicability of nighttime light data to less developed countries. The research results show that the agglomeration effect of nighttime lights in the capital city cluster of Mongolia is obvious, presenting a spatial pattern of “concentration in the north central regions, and rapid growth along the railway line”; The total value of nighttime light showed a significant growth trend after 2010, which indicates that the power supply has achieved rapid and stable growth firstly; in second, when the spatial scale is larger, the more applicable the nighttime light data is, and the higher the accuracy of reflecting social and economic activities. At the same provincial scale, only when the urbanization rate is greater than 30% and the population cannot be lost in large quantities, the nighttime light data has a positive correlation with the number of people, otherwise it is negatively correlated or irrelevant; in third, NPP/VIIRS has detected more settlements than DMSP/OLS, and stable power supply is key to whether settlements are detected.

At a time when climate change is affecting human health and the number of people with chronic diseases is increasing, people are trying to use natural treatments and aftercare. Although Mongolian territory for the weather evolution index is divided into three bioclimatic regions, the study about its effects on human health is rare. The aim of the study was to study the spatial and temporal patterns of bioclimatic pathogenicity on human health using daily average meteorological data of 1991-2020 from 69 weather stations representing the climate, physical geography, natural zones, and belts of Mongolia. The pathogenic bioclimatic conditions per year were calculated as a total index that includes pathogenic conditions of air temperature, temperature change between days, pressure changes, relative humidity, clouds, and wind parameters. From the estimation, 107 days were “suitable” for humans and 135 days were “unsuitable” while the remaining 123 days dominated “pathogenic conditions” in Mongolia. Seasonally, the effect of weather change on human health were suitable in summer while the pathogenicity is heavy in winter. However, pathogenicity conditions were moderately variance the transition seasons. The annual pathogenicity index was unsuitable for any natural zone in Mongolia, but in the Gobi and Desert regions, it was slightly lower around 18-20 while the index values tended to increase northward. When the percentage of meteorological variables in the total pathogenicity index was studied, the effects of daily changes in air temperature and wind speed had a significant impact on human health. This study has used the daily climate data for the last 30 years to update bio-climatic pathogenicity conditions in Mongolia, and it will be the fundamental data for exploring the relationship between weather oscillations and human disease. Therefore, it will provide an opportunity for further research in this area.

Acharya Susruta has extensively discussed the concept of vidradhi. He used the word “Sheegra vidahivat" to indicate its immediate burning nature. Prevalence of perianal abscess common in clinical practice. The Materia Medica of Ayurveda gives large information on therapeutically critical herbal products. An abscess is a localized collection of pus and a limited assortment of discharges in a depression shaped from tissues that irresistible bacteria have separated. An abscess is caused when microscopic organisms such as staphylococci or streptococci admittance to strong tissue like a wound on the skin. In traditional drug practices, distinct parts (leaves, stem, root, fruit, seeds, latex or even entire plant) of Ficus Racemosa Linn. are used to manage abscess. Its Sanskrit name is Udumbara, commonly known as gular in Hindi. Ficus Racemosa Linn. has confirmed various pharmacological actions like hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anti-carcinogenic, antidiuretic, hepatoprotective, anti-ulcer, and antifungal. β-sitosterol and glauanol acetate are the phytoconstituent found in Ficus Racemosa Linn.

Published: February 2023

Rave culture’s emergence is similar to the Rock, Punk, Black Metal, Skinhead, and Gothic subcultures that once created a phenomenon in this country. The spread of this culture fulfils the desire for enjoyment among some social groupings. Rave is a new subculture of dance activities performed by groups of urban teenagers, particularly in Kuala Lumpur. It embodies the character of the youth group, as evidenced by its symbolism and mode of operation. Therefore, the focus of this qualitative study is an evaluation of Rave popular culture through the lens of Islamic law. To achieve its goal, this study employs a full library approach to data collection from documentation materials, either in print or visually in the form of Youtube videos. The data is then inductively analysed to formulate an Islamic law perspective. This study discovered that Rave activities carried out by urban youth groups in this country have undergone changes that distinguish them from Rave activities originating in pubs and clubs. The difference is in carrying concept, manner of activities, type of song, and location of activity. However, the difference does not justify the practice of this culture because it has no discernible positive impact on the local community’s social system. According to Islamic law, it falls under the category of haram acts due to the presence of neglectful entertainment and unlawful aspects, such as the imitation of immoral culture. In fact, it has the potential to erode the value of Malay politeness among teenagers. So that, to ensure the sustainability of the value system that is their identity, groups of teenagers should be guided so that they do not randomly imitate foreign popular cultures.

Published: February 2023

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolyzer has been regarded as a
promising and versatile approach for practical H2 production. The oxygen
evolution reaction (OER) possesses sluggish kinetics and a high reaction
barrier, severely hindering the development of PEM water electrolyzers.
Consequently, highly efficient and low-cost electrocatalysts are always
essential to accelerate the reaction rate and lower the reaction barrier
of OER. In this review paper, a detailed discussion towards
fundamentally comprehending the reaction mechanisms of OER in acid media
was conducted. Accordingly, we proposed the principles of designing
advanced OER electrocatalysts for enhanced performance and lowered cost.
After that, recent developments in designing various acidic OER
electrocatalysts were summarized. Meanwhile, the available regulation
strategies were presented, which can be used for tuning the electronic
structures, boosting the electrocatalytic performances and reducing the
costs of electrocatalysts. We also provided the existing challenges and
perspectives of various OER electrocatalyst.

Published: February 2023

Microbial infections are considered as one of the most important
concerns of the world community. Developing drug delivery systems based
on formulation of nanoparticles with antimicrobial agents have shown
beneficial effectiveness against microbial infections and related
antimicrobial resistance. In this study we prepared and characterized a
chitosan based hydrogel loaded with zinc oxide nanoparticles for
controlling the release of vancomycin and also improving its
antibacterial effect. Characterization studies demonstrated that the
developed biopolymeric hydrogel was able to sustained and controlled the
release of vancomycin in response to acidic media for 96 hours.
Furthermore, antimicrobial studies showed siginificant and efficient
antibacterial activity of prepared hydrogel against S. aureus and P.
aeruginosa. Based on obtained results, it can be concluded that the
prepared chitosan hydrogel containing ZnO nanoparticles has a desirable
activity for controlling the release of vancomycin and improving its
antibacterial properties.

Published: February 2023

Herein, we have developed a strategy of Rh(III)-catalyzed C–H
activation of N-nitrosoanilines and iodonium ylides to construct novel
tetralydrocarbzol-4-one scaffolds, which provided valuable templates for
sequential C-H functionalization such as alkylation, alkenyla-tion,
amidation and (hetero)arylation at C5-position of
tetralydrocarbzol-4-one with different coupling partners. Gram-scale
synthesis and further transformation of tetralydrocarbzol-4-one
derivatives to Ondansetron and its analogues demonstrated the utility of
this protocol, which enabled the concise and diverse construction of
biologically active molecules.
Extinction shapes the history of the communities of specialist birds in the white-sand ecosystems of the Amazon.
Authors: Lima Gisiane , Jardim Lucas , Diniz-Filho José Alexandre , Anciães Marina
Published: February 2023

Understanding how bird species from white sand ecosystems (WSEs) have
managed to inhabit and specialize in insular environment in the middle
of the Amazon Rainforest is fundamental to understand the evolutionary
processes in birds restricted to one type of habitat. We sought to
evaluate the diversification processes of the specialist bird species of
the white sand ecosystems of the Rio Negro basin by comparing them with
the pool of bird species of riparian environments. Many WSEs may be
ancient riverbeds, which may favor current riparian species to be
potential colonizers and settle within the WSEs. For this, we used an
extension of biogeographic evolutionary models to verify state-dependent
speciation and extinction models that specifically explain the presence
of unmeasured factors that can affect the estimated diversification
rates for the states of any observed trait. Thus, it was possible to
evaluate the evolutionary processes that most acted in the formation of
bird communities of WSEs. The results showed that WSEs specialist bird
species have different functional diversity to what was expected on a
random basis and evolutionary models have higher extinction and
speciation rates in WSEs specialist bird communities. This evidences
that source-sink processes maintain WSEs over time, and that they
receive generalist and specialist species from riparian ecosystems.
According to the models analyzed, once the species have the high degree
of adaptation required by an ecosystem with severe conditions, they
cannot colonize other ecosystems. Extinction is an important process for
the dynamics of biodiversity in the Amazon since, as many species are
lost, there is also speciation and high adaptation. This work is one of
the first to use local evolutionary analyses in Amazonian ecosystems and
was effective in showing that extinction is recurrent, which is a cause
for concern due to the severe and rapid ecological changes currently
occurring.

Published: February 2023

Lead-acid battery system is designed to perform optimally at ambient
temperature (25 °C) in terms of capacity and cyclability. However,
varying climate zones enforce harsher conditions on the automotive lead
acid batteries. Hence, they age faster and exhibit low performance when
operated at either extremity of the optimum ambient conditions. In this
work, a systematic study was conducted to analyze the effect of varying
temperatures (-10, 0, 25 and 40 °C) on the sealed lead acid. Enersys®
Cyclon (2V, 5Ah) cells were cycled at C/10 rate using battery testing
system. The environmental aging results in shorter cycle life due to the
degradation of electrode, and grid materials at higher temperature (25
and 40 °C), while at lower temperature (-10 and 0 °C) negligible
degradation was observed due to slower kinetics and reduced available
capacity. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and
Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis were used to evaluate the
degradation mechanism, chemical and morphological changes.
A Local Stress Criterion to Assess the Effects of Hydrogen Embrittlement on the Fracture Strength of Notched Tensile Specimens
Authors: Ruggieri Claudio , Sarzosa Diego , Tobar Lenin Paredes
Published: February 2023

This work addresses the applicability of a local criterion incorporating
the coupling of critical stress and a critical hydrogen concentration to
predict hydrogen embrittlement effects on the fracture strength of high
strength steels using notched round specimens with different notch root
radii. The numerical simulations incorporating a relatively simple
hydrogen transport model provide strong support to the adoption of a
failure criterion in terms of achieving a critical level of tensile
stress coupled to the local hydrogen concentration, which, in turn,
enable the construction of a failure locus for the material. For the
cases analyzed here, construction of such a failure locus based on a
critical combination of maximum principal stress and hydrogen
concentration enabled predictions of fracture strength for
hydrogen-charged tensile specimens which are in very good agreement with
experimental data. Overall, the results presented here lend additional
support for further developments of a local stress-based criterion to
predict hydrogen embrittlement effects on the fracture strength of high
strength steels.

Published: February 2023

The detection of low-concentration ammonia is necessary to avoid harm to
workers exposed to ammonia atmosphere for long period in the poultry
farming and fertilizer industry. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)
nanomaterials have shown good ability in ammonia sensing, while alloying
TMDs (two chalcogenide or/and metal elements) with tunable electronic
structures have drawn little attention in gas sensing. Herein, alloying
Mo0.5W0.5S2 quantum dots (QDs) were prepared by a facile sonication
exfoliation method and then for the first time tested for ammonia
sensing. The crystal structure, geometric morphology, and elemental
composition all proved well-alloyed Mo0.5W0.5S2 QDs. The gas sensing
measurements demonstrated Mo0.5W0.5S2 QDs with good response to ammonia
even at part per billion (ppb)-level near room temperature. The sensor
also displayed good stability as well as superb selectivity to ammonia
in the presence of potential interferences, such as methanol, acetone,
benzene, and cyclohexane. The theoretical calculations revealed Mo and W
atoms at edges (such as Mo0.5W0.5S2 (010)) of sheet-like QDs as the
active sites for ammonia adsorption. Electrons donated by the adsorbed
ammonia were combined with holes in p-type Mo0.5W0.5S2 QDs, and the
concentration of the main charge carrier was reduced, resulting in
resistance enhancement.
How does the coral, Pocillopora acuta, survive the challenging intertidal environment? A genome-wide analysis
Authors: Du Rosa Celia , Huang D. , Todd Peter A.
Published: February 2023

Characterisation of genomic variation among corals can help uncover
variants underlying trait differences and contribute towards genotype
prioritisation in coastal restoration projects. For example, there is
growing interest in identifying resilient genotypes for transplantation,
and to better understand the genetic processes that allow some
individuals to survive in specific conditions better than others. The
coral species Pocillopora acuta is known to survive in a wide range of
habitats, from reefs to seawalls, suggesting its potential use as a
starter species for ecological engineering efforts involving coral
transplantation onto intertidal seawalls. However, the intertidal
section of coastal armour is a challenging environment for corals, with
conditions during periods of emersion being particularly stressful.
Here, we scanned the entire genome of P. acuta corals for DNA
polymorphisms to identify the regions harbouring SNPs and copy number
variations (CNVs) that separate intertidal colonies (n=18) from those
found in subtidal areas (n=21). Findings revealed 74,391 high quality
SNPs distributed across 386 regions of the P. acuta genome. While the
majority of the detected SNPs were in non-coding regions, 12% were
identified in exons (i.e. coding regions). Functional SNPs that were
significantly associated with intertidal colonies were found in
overrepresented genomic regions linked to cellular homeostasis,
metabolism, and signalling process, which can represent local
environmental adaptation in the intertidal. Interestingly, regions that
exhibited CNVs were also associated with metabolic and signalling
processes, suggesting intertidal corals have a high capacity to perform
biological functions critical for survival in extreme environments.

Published: February 2023

Gut micriobiota have important roles in the immune, nutrition, and
physiology of animals. To study the cause of gut microbiota change in
black-necked cranes, we collected 9fresh Black-necked cranes’ fecal
samples from Dashanbao Reserve. High throughput Illumina sequencing
technology was used to analyze the microbial community structure of the
collected samples for the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene. Proteobacteria
(44.14%) followed by Firmicutes (17.95%) and Bacteroidetes (9.97%)
were the core dominant groups, and all of them play a role in the
degradation of cellulose in Black-necked cranes. Bacteroidetes and
Firmicutes contain glycan degrading enzymes, play a vital role in
polysaccharide fermentation, and could help the host obtain more energy
and materials. Higher Proteobacteria were unusual in birds. To explain
this phenomenon, we analyzed the genus abundance of Proteobacteria in
detail, found that Psychrobacter has the highest abundance and can grow
at sub-zero temperatures. Through comparison, it was show that there
were certain differences in the abundance of gut microbiota in different
period The significance of this study was to provide a reference for
understanding the function of intestinal microbiota and factors of gut
microbiota structure change of Black-necked cranes and other migratory
waterbirds.

Published: February 2023

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of a
modified V-shaped incision for partial superficial parotidectomy in the
treatment of benign parotid tumors, and compare it with a traditional
S-shaped incision. Methods: Fifty benign parotid tumor patients
who required partial superficial parotidectomy were selected and
randomly divided into two groups, treated with the modified V-shaped
incision (V-group) and the traditional S-shaped incision (S-group),
respectively. Intraoperative, postoperative, and follow-up indicators
were compared between these two groups. Results: There were no
statistically significant differences ( P > 0.05)
between these two groups in drainage volume, postoperative extubation
time, postoperative hospital stay, periauricular numbness, fistulas,
facial palsy, facial depression, incidence of Frey syndrome, scar score
after 1-month follow-up, and 18-month postoperative recurrence rate. In
terms of appearance satisfaction score 6 months after surgery, the
V-group was superior to the S-group. When the tumor was located at the
low part or its diameter was >3 cm, the surgical time in
the V-group was longer than that in the S-group. Conclusions:
In surgery of benign parotid tumors, when the modified V-shaped incision
is applied, the surgical time is prolonged only when the tumors are
located at the low part of the parotid gland. For tumors at different
sites, the V-shaped incision can achieve a better cosmetic effect than
the S-shaped incision without inducing surgical complications.

Analysis of 238U, 226Ra, and 210Pb transfer factors from soil to the leaves of broadleaf tree species
Authors: Vukasinovic Ivana
Published: February 2023

This analysis of 238U, 226Ra and 210Pb transfer factors from the soil to the
leaves of different native broadleaf trees at sites previously modified by
uranium presence and at the site of background radioactivity levels, was
conducted using data from a few available studies from the literature. The
broadleaf tree species Quercus ilex, Quercus suber, Eucalyptus camaldulensis,
Quercus pyrenaica, Quercus ilex rotundifolia, Populus sp. and Eucalyptus
botryoides Sm. at the affected sites and Tilia spp. and Aesculus
hippocastanum L. at the back ground site were in cluded in the study
regardless of the deciduous or evergreen origins of the leaves. In the papers
cited here, data about basic soil parameters: pH, total Ca [gkg-1], sand [%],
and silt + clay [%] fractions were also available. All the collected data of
activity concentration [Bqkg-1] dry weight in the soil (n=14) which was in
the range: 22-6606 for 238U, 38-7700 for 226Ra, and 37-7500 for 210Pb, and
the tree leaves in the range: 2.7-137.6 for 238U (n=10), 2.6-134.2 for 226Ra
(n=14), and 27-77.2 for 210Pb (n=14), indicated that it was normally
distributed after log-transformation. The present study was conducted under
the hypothesis that biological differences between the examined broadleaf
tree species have a lesser influence on the transfer factors of the
investigated radionuclides from soil to tree leaves compared to the impact of
the soil parameters and radionuclides activity concentrations in the soil.
Consequently, it was examined whether 238U, 226Ra, and 210Pb soil-to-leaves
transfer factor values for average broadleaf species could be predicted
statistically in the first approximation based on their activity
concentration in the soil and at least one basic soil parameter using
multiple linear regression.
En språkverkstad för alla?
Authors: Dahl Karin , Lindqvist Gunilla
Published: February 2023

Artikeln syftar till ökad kunskap om en grupp språkverkstadspedagogers arbete med studenter, vilka riskerar studiesvårigheter till följd av en funktionsnedsättning. Frågeställningarna rör hur språkverkstadspedagogerna uttrycker jurisdiktion och arbetsfördelning i dels handledningssamtal, dels andra arbetsuppgifter med målgruppen. Dataunderlaget utgörs av 8 intervjuer. Resultatet visar att språkverkstadspedagogerna har starkast jurisdiktion i handledningssamtalen, där kunskap om studiesvårigheter samt delvis andra metoder och förhållningssätt anges som viktiga för att kunna möta just denna studentgrupp. I övriga arbetsuppgifter söker däremot inte språkverkstadspedagogerna jurisdiktion över den specifika målgruppen. De gör i stället anspråk på ett arbete med alla studenter, och det arbetet vill de dela med universitetslärarna. Här framstår jurisdiktionen som svag, då språkverkstadspedagogerna avgränsar sitt arbets- och kunskapsområde olika och beskriver svårigheter att förhandla sin roll i relation till universitetslärarna. Detta tolkas i artikeln kunna påverka deltagandet för studenter ur den breddade rekryteringen, däribland studenter i studiesvårigheter. Slutsatser är att språkverkstadspedagoger bör ges möjlighet att utveckla en gemensam professionsidentitet, där perspektiv på och kunskap om studenters olika sätt att lära bör ingå. Vidare behöver språkverkstaden få ett samverkande uppdrag i syfte att kunna bidra till utvecklingen av en inkluderande högskolemiljö, där nya studentgruppers perspektiv kan tillvaratas och alla studenter bereds lika möjligheter. Detta ligger i linje med två viktiga mål inom högre utbildning: excellens och rättvisa.
The Evolving Landscape of Emergency Medicine in India: Current Scope and Future Directions
Authors: AN Shetti
Published: February 2023

Emergency medicine is an essential field that plays a crucial role in ensuring timely and effective care for critically ill or injured patients. In India, emergency care has undergone significant changes over the past few decades, with the establishment of specialized emergency departments and the development of new policies and protocols. The current landscape of emergency medicine in India is characterized by a growing demand for high-quality emergency care, which is met by a fragmented and often inadequate system of emergency services. While some tertiary care hospitals have established dedicated emergency departments, most hospitals lack the resources and infrastructure to provide timely and appropriate emergency care. This has led to a shortage of trained emergency medicine specialists, inadequate pre-hospital care, and delayed treatment. This article provides an overview of the current scope of emergency medicine in India and outlines the future directions for the field.
