An experiment was conducted to investigate suitable feed for Carassius auratus juveniles. 30-day-old juveniles (3.31±0.14 cm and 0.84±0.3 g) were reared in glass aquaria (50×30×30 cm3) at stocking density of 10 juveniles/aquaria in triplicates. The juveniles were fed four different feeds, Tubifex, egg custard, commercial feed, and aquarium feed, twice daily until satiation. After 28 days of trial, fish fed custard and Tubifex had significantly higher survival rates (91% and 88%) than those fed aquarium feed (81%, P < 0.05) and commercial fish feed (75%, P < 0.05). The final length, weight, absolute growth rate and metabolic growth rate were significantly varied among the treatments (P < 0.05). However, no significant differences were evident in weight gain and SGR (P > 0.05). The fish fed custard and Tubifex were comparable in terms of growth performance (P > 0.05) while a significantly lower growth rate was found in fish fed commercial feed (P < 0.05). Fish fed Tubifex and custard had significantly higher protein content (15.28% and 14.86%, respectively) than those fed commercial fish feed (13.41%) and aquarium feed (12.21%). The overall findings suggest that the formulated egg custard can promote growth and survival in goldfish.

A model with a combination of cogeneration and generation photovoltaic power is designed for enhancing the capability of photoelectric absorption. The initial step of the model includes using a “time-of-use price strategy” for guiding the users for changing their electricity consumption patterns to participate in the demand response, hence establishing the demand response model. Next the MATLAB Environment Meta Heuristic Optimization Algorithms of Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (PSO) and Ant Colony Algorithms (ACO) was applied with an aim of reducing the price of the operation of the micro-grid to achieve economic dispatching. The model includes, the constraints of power balance equation, energy storage unit operation, as well as the heat storage. The last part of the research details the results, depicting enhanced levels of consumption of photo-electric energy with the proposed model with comparison of Three Algorithms and also produces economic benefits from using the microgrid.

Published: February 2022

Deepa Mehta's adaptation of Bapsi Sidhwa’s novel Ice Candy Man (a literary text) into a film Earth (a visual text) is an exceptional example of a hybrid representation. Deepa Mehta adapted Ice Candy Man into a film 1947: Earth. Making a novel into a film is a difficult task. A director's ability to transform words into moving visuals is exceptional. There is a transition in narratology as the novel is transformed into the film. Deepa Mehta sets herself a difficult task in producing Earth, translating Sidhwa's amazing story into a film using cinematic skills and artistry. The purpose of this article is to compare and contrast Bapsi Sidhwa's novel Ice Candy Man and its cinematic adaptation Deepa Mehta's “1947: Earth” in order to investigate the problem of depicting the Partition of India in 1947.

Published: February 2022

Lecture-based teaching paired with laboratory-based exercises is most commonly used in cybersecurity instruction. However, it focuses more on theories and models but fails to provide learners with practical problem-solving skills and opportunities to explore real-world cybersecurity challenges. Problem-based Learning (PBL) has been identified as an efficient pedagogy for many disciplines, especially engineering education. It provides learners with real-world complex problem scenarios, which encourages learners to collaborate with classmates, ask questions and develop a deeper understanding of the concepts while solving real-world cybersecurity problems. This paper describes the application of the PBL methodology to enhance professional training-based cybersecurity education. The authors developed an online laboratory environment to apply PBL with Knowledge-Graph (KG) based guidance for hands-on labs in cybersecurity training.Learners are provided access to a virtual lab environment with knowledge graph guidance to simulated real-life cybersecurity scenarios. Thus, they are forced to think independently and apply their knowledge to create cyber-attacks and defend approaches to solve problems provided to them in each lab. Our experimental study shows that learners tend to gain more enhanced learning outcomes by leveraging PBL with knowledge graph guidance, become more aware of cybersecurity and relevant concepts, and also express interest in keep learning of cybersecurity using our system.

Bu çalışmada antidepresan etken maddesi olan Sitalopram’ın D. melanogaster ömür uzunluğuna ve eşey oranına olumsuz etkileri ve buna karşı C ve E vitamininin koruyuculuğu araştırıldı. Sitalopram’ın 3 farklı dozu (0-1mM) ve C-E vitaminlerinden (25mg/L) oluşturulan gruplara beslenme yolu ile verildi. Döl sayısı deneyi 7 gün süreyle, ömür uzunluğu deneyi 39 gün süreyle uygulandı. Bu çalışmada yer verilen döl sayısı deneylerinde, uygulama gruplarında döl veriminin azalması beklenirken, erişkin sineklerin oluşturduğu döl sayısının kontrol grubu ile yakın sayılarda olduğu gözlemlendi. Ayrıca vitaminli gruplarda ise döl sayısı kontrole kıyasla düşüşe geçti. Bununla birlikte ömür uzunluğu deneyinde kontrol grubunda hayatta kalma yüzdesi %80’lere düşerken Sitalopram’lı gruplarda hayatta kalma yüzdesi %80’nin üzerinde kaldı. Ancak Sitalopram ve vitaminlerin birlikte uygulandığı grupların hayatta kalma oranları %60’lara inerek kontrol grubuna göre düşük seyretti. Sonuç olarak; Sitalopram’ın sineklerin döl sayısını değiştirmediği, ömür uzunluğu deneylerinde ise vitamin ile birlikte alınan ilacın kontrol grubuna kıyasla ömrü olumsuz etkilediği belirlendi.
Assessment of Food Safety During Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: BOYACİ GUNDUZ Cennet Pelin , CENGİZ Mehmet Fatih
Published: February 2022

SARS-CoV-2, a novel Coronavirus that causes COVID-19 disease and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Until now, foodborne or waterborne exposure to this virus has not been reported as the transmission route. However, the infected individual in the food production and service facility and, contaminated surfaces, may serve as the source of transmission route since Coronavirus can survive on the inanimate surfaces. Based on the available data, we reviewed the persistence of Coronaviruses on inanimate surfaces in the context of the food contact materials. Coronavirus persists on stainless steel, plastic and glass surfaces for a few days which are commonly used in food production and processing facilities. Therefore, appropriate food contact materials having fewer risk levels can be preferred. Additionally, using biocidal surfaces could help reduce the incidence of infections spread due to touching contaminated surfaces. In other parts of this review, appropriate inactivation procedures and ongoing food handling practices were explained. For prevention of virus transfer due to the contamination of food packaging material and also, food-handling by an infected person through food processing and serving, ongoing hygiene practices in food facilities should continue and inactivation procedures should be widened by taking into consideration the human Coronavirus and also, other foodborne viruses which have distinct properties compared to bacteria. Last of all, pandemics have impacts on the food supply chains, especially during harvest and logistics. Therefore, it is important to continue production and processing by raising awareness about food safety to ensure people in the food supply chain are not at risk of transmission.

Le présent article vise à explorer la recherche d’informations des cadres dirigeants d’une entreprise française de télécommunications en contexte de transformation numérique. Nous appuyant sur les méthodologies de la construction de sens ( sense-making ) et de la théorisation enracinée ( grounded theory ), nous analysons les pratiques de recherche d’informations des cadres dirigeants et les sources d’informations utilisées par ce groupe d’acteurs. Les résultats de notre étude empirique nous permettent de distinguer deux catégories principales de sources d’informations auxquelles ces acteurs font appel dans leurs activités quotidiennes : des sources humaines et des sources non humaines. Plusieurs facteurs influençant le processus de recherche et le choix des sources d’informations sont identifiés et, notamment, la temporalité qui représente une contrainte majeure. L’étude montre que l’activité informationnelle, et notamment la recherche d’informations, deviennent plus complexes dans un environnement numérique se caractérisant par une multiplication des dispositifs et sources d’informations, une diversité des pratiques informationnelles et une gestion de l’information en « silos ».

Published: February 2022

Dental impressions are an important part of routine diagnostic and therapeutic dental procedures. Using conventional impression materials, the dentist captures intraoral details, and the dental technician uses impression for dental casts pouring. Intraoral scanners (IOS) are fast, accurate and more pleasant for a patient than conventional impression techniques and became a valid alternative to those procedures. Thirty-four dental students performed alginate and digital impressions on each other and filled two two-part questionnaires to reveal their preferences and expectations from both techniques. The results showed a statistically significant difference in time needed for digital and conventional impressions, with digital being faster. From the patient's perspective, the digital scan was more pleasant than the conventional impression. The majority of participants thought digital techniques would completely replace conventional techniques during their lifetime and find it necessary to implement new technologies in dental schools' curricula.

The teaching-service-community integration is an important strategy for achieving changes in the training of human resources in health, in order to train professionals with a profile to work in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS, as per its Portuguese acronym). This study analyzed how it occurs and what are the contributions of the teaching-service-community integration in the view of professors from the first to the seventh period of Medicine, Nursing and Dentistry programs at a university in northeastern Brazil. This is an exploratory and descriptive study, with a quantitative approach. Data were collected using an interview form and analyzed with the help of SPSS software. The descriptive analysis of the data, the chi-square test and the calculation of the internal consistency of the evaluation scale were used. The study had the participation of 106 professors. Results show that practices were still predominantly performed in university clinics and hospitals, 76 (71.7%). Most professors, 59 (56.7%), consider the teaching-service-community interaction very important for the quality of training and recognize its importance in strengthening SUS, 89 (85.6%). Although there was resistance on the part of some professors to follow-up students in extramural services, most of them, 94 (89.5%), consider the role of professors as essential for changing health practices, especially professors in nursing and dentistry professors that carry out extramural practices (p < 0.01). Interdisciplinary practices were performed more frequently in the first two periods of the three courses and by the nursing course (p = 0.001). In turn, multiprofessional interaction predominates in the practical classes of the nursing course and practices held outside the university domain (p < 0.01). It is evident the need to institutionalize the teaching-service-community interaction, as well as to value initiatives that streamline and make teaching more flexible in multiprofessional and interdisciplinary activities, fundamental for the amendment of training in health.
Fluid intake, hydration status and body mass changes in U-15 judo athletes during a training day
Authors: Ceylan Bayram , Santos Luis
Published: February 2022

Despite numerous studies related to dehydration there is still a lack of scientific literature presenting hydration status and fluid intake of judo athletes during different periods. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate, fluid intake, hydration status and body weight changes of young judo athletes during a typical day of training in preparation period. Twenty-two young judo athletes (age: 12 ± 0.7 y, experience: 3.5 ± 1.1) voluntarily participated in this study. Hydration status and weight were examined in the morning, before and immediately after the training. All athletes trained 90 min and they consumed fluids ad libitum during the exercise. According to morning urine specific gravity (USG) values, 81.2% of the athletes were dehydrated while only 18.8% of the athletes were euhydrated. Pre-training urine measurements showed that 63.64% of the athletes presented dehydration and 77.27% of the athletes completed the training in dehydrated condition despite fluid availability during the training. Mean body weight loss during training was -0.64 ± 0.66%. It can be concluded that young judo athletes presented high prevalence of dehydration as indicated by USG values. Most of the athletes were dehydrated during a typical training day and completed the training in more dehydrated conditions compared to pre training values despite ad libitum fluid intake. It is of great importance to evaluate hydration status of the athletes before training to refrain from common practice of fluid restriction for weight loss and adverse effects of a persistent state of fluid deficit on physical and health related state.

Published: February 2022

Emojis are used in digital communication to express feelings and emotions and are commonly used on social media platforms. Research aiming to interpret the meaning of facial emojis is needed and should consider differences among several characteristics as the cultural aspects across different countries. This study aimed to assess the meaning of emojis by Brazilians and create two facial scales that can be used in later research with applications of emojis in consumer studies and sensory analysis of food and beverages. The associations between emotions and emojis were evaluated by 132 participants from Brazil using 39 descriptive terms and 33 facial emojis through a modified Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) questionnaire. The overall average of emoji associations for each CATA term varied from 1.1 to 4.3, demonstrating that the associations varied a lot, depending on the emotion. In this way, it was possible to obtain a group of emotions with a strong association with one emoji (n=15); a second group with a strong association with more than one emoji (n=8), and; a third group with weak associations (n=16). The emojis from the first and second groups were used to make a chart with 14 emojis to be used in consumer research with Brazilian consumers and also a 5-point facial scale of intensity to be used in sensory analysis with food and beverages.

Authors: Suta Martins , Cepuritis Rolands , Zegelis Aldis
Published: February 2022

With the advent of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) studies are furthered into developing the material and creating new composites with the intent of decreasing ecological impact, decreasing costs, increasing efficiency of material utilization. Current design guidelines do show ways how to test for material values in multiple ways each with their pros and cons. Namely, beam flexural tests, panel tests, semi-full scale panel tests, full-scale tests. Nevertheless, the test methods have been developed for usage with common concrete with its inherent properties and do not capture the influence of self-stressing component of SFRSSC. To provide an overview how testing panels evaluate SFRC and SFRSSC a series of tests have been performed to see whether the current methods can be used or are sufficient to show the benefits of SFRSCC. It can be seen that there is a noticeable difference in the elastic response of the panels using the same test method when comparing regular SFRC and SFRSSC panels.

Published: February 2022

Recent studies of chitosan/polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibrous membranes have been developed for biomedical and filtration applications. However, they have predominantly utilized chitosan/PEO blend. The present work used the chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) adding to the PEO solution and made the CSNPs/PEO nanofiber membranes using the electrospinning method. This study investigated the morphology and tensile properties of the CSNPs/PEO membranes affecting by varying CSNPs concentrations (0, 0.5, and 1.0 wt.%) and PEO solvents (70 and 96% ethanol). The neat PEO membrane revealed a wrinkle-like structure on the membrane surface, but it gradually disappeared by CSNPs concentration. An increase in CSNPs concentration decreased the average fiber diameter and increased the tensile strength of the membrane. They demonstrated a similar pattern for PEO solvent with both ethanol concentrations. In summary, the addition of 1.0 wt.% CSNPs in PEO solution with 96% ethanol resulted in high strength of the CSNPs/PEO nanofiber membrane.
Magneto-Transport Properties and Hole Self-Doping due to Excess Oxygen Addition in Polycrystalline LaMnO3

Published: February 2022

We have presented the study on magneto-transport properties and hole self-doping due to excess oxygen addition in polycrystalline LaMnO3 (LMO). The polycrystalline LMO samples were prepared by use of a solid-state reaction method. Powder mixtures with a molar ratio of 1:1 between La2O3 and Mn2O3 were pre-annealed at 1100oC for 18 hours in the atmospheres of O2, He and vacuum. By this pre-annealing, non-crystalline LMO samples were produced. After that, the non-crystalline LMO samples were grinded and were pressed into pellets at the pressure of 3t/cm3. The pellets were annealed at 1100oC and 1300oC for 18 hours in the same atmospheres as the pre-annealing. Through these processes, crystalline LMO samples were produced. To investigate the crystallographic structure of the LMO samples, X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements have been performed by use of Cu-K radiation. From the results of XRD measurements, we have found that all LMO samples have perovskite structure and are polycrystalline. In addition, to investigate the surface structure of the LMO samples, scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurements have been carried out. Electrical resistivities (ERs) for the LMO samples have been measured as a function of temperature (4K-300K). The ERs of the LMO samples produced in O2 atmosphere show lower values as compared with other LMO ones produced in He and vacuum atmospheres. Especially, the temperature dependence of the ER for a LMO sample produced at the annealing temperature of 1100oC in O2 atmosphere shows metallic conduction. Thus, we have considered that this LMO sample has the largest hole self-doping concentration in all LMO ones. In addition, the magnetic field dependences of the magneto-resistance (MR) ratios for the LMO samples have been measured at several temperatures. The ferromagnetic behaviors on the MR ratios have been observed for LMO samples produced in O2 and He atmospheres.

Published: February 2022

Experimental research on the process of cold tubes drawing was performed in order to obtain important information about the behaviour of the tube material in the drawing tool during the drawing to the required outer diameter of Ø12 mm. The DEFORM-3D simulation software was an important tool for verifying the plastic flow of material in the drawing tool (i.e. drawing die), as well as for optimizing the technological parameters of cold tubes drawing. In the finite element (FE) analysis, emphasis was placed on determining the influence of tool geometry, strain degree, drawing speed and friction on the size of the drawing force and the quality of production of drawn tubes. The paper points out the importance of simulation software for common comparison of results obtained from laboratory experiment and FE analysis of the process of tubes drawing. By comparing the results, the reliability of the used simulation software was proved, as the results were identical for all monitored technological parameters. Computer simulation brings valuable knowledge that is important for the correct design of the drawing tool as well as for the technology of production of tubes with precise dimensions.

Published: February 2022

Nowadays, biofibre-reinforced polymeric materials have become a topic of interest for researchers in the field of materials science. Not only are they low-cost to produce, but the composites have high mechanical strength properties. In some cases, these polymer composites can even replace metallic structures, making them an environmentally friendly solution. The aim of this study is to evaluate the mechanical behaviour of a polyester matrix composite material reinforced with human hair fibres. To this end, composite samples of different fibre sizes, orientations and volume fractions were produced. Subsequently, to obtain the most suitable combination, these specimens were tested under the requirements of ASTM 3039, ASTM 7264 and ASTM 5628 for tensile, flexural and impact, respectively. As a result, the first group of specimens composed of a volume fraction of 70% matrix and 30% reinforcement, with a longitudinal fibre orientation at 0°, stands out from the rest of the specimens by presenting a maximum tensile strength, a maximum flexural strength and an impact energy of 28.472 MPa, 66.24 MPa and 1.371 J, respectively.
In conclusion, compared to other types of composite materials, the human hair-based composite material shows surprising potential as a promising ecological solution for applications in the furniture and automotive industry due to its high flexural strength.

Published: February 2022

Today, environmental problems are increasing rapidly and the focus is shifting to seeking long-term and sustainable solutions. At this point, the economical use of raw material resources is important and this makes recycling a necessity, not a diversity. In this context, environmentally friendly acoustic panels are designed with composites produced by recycling 100% textile and packaging wastes for the noise problem in buildings. Denim fabrics from textile wastes and low-density polyethylene bottle caps from packaging wastes are used. Denim fabrics that are shredded into cotton fibers are blended with ground waste polyethylene granules and porous structures are obtained with the hot press technique. The panels, whose physical and acoustic properties have been tested, are aimed to create an environmentally friendly alternative to existing products.
The Degradation of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Elements
Authors: Paglia Christian , Antonetti S. , Mosca Cristina
Published: February 2022

Concrete bridges are widely widespread as a main roadway infrastructure. The maintenance and the restoration or renewal of such artefacts are a major concern for the public administration. The reinforced concrete objects are exposed to detrimental atmospheric condition. The deterioration is different for the sixteen highway bridge elements. Some parts are sheltered or directly exposed to the atmospheric events, such as sun, rain, snow, salt spreading, splashing and washing. South-west sides or partially sheltered zones are more susceptible to cyclic temperature and humidity variation. This results in increased carbonation. The North-east sides, especially the curbs, are less carbonated because of enhanced presence of high humidity and are more prone to organic growth. The limit of 0.025 % of chloride content by concrete weight is exceeded in some bridge elements down to 40 mm, apart from the piles. Shoulders and curbs exhibit the highest Chloride content. Lower contents are observed for beams, struts and piles partially sheltered from the direct salt spreading action. A slight correlation exists between high Chloride content and low mean carbonation and depends on the humidity presence. This is observed for the shoulders, the shelves and the curbs, but less for the beams, the piles, the struts and the heads.

Published: February 2022

Ocular adnexal marginal zone B cell lymphomas (MZBLs) make up the majority of lymphomas arising from the ocular adnexa. Immunoglobulin-G4 (IgG4)-related disease is a recently proposed entity with several unique clinicopathological features, such as enlargement of affected organs, elevated serum IgG4 level, and infiltration with IgG4-positive plasma cells. Ocular adnexal MZBLs are reported to arise in IgG4-related sclerosing dacryoadenitis, indicating a possible link between the two conditions. Here, we describe a 37-year-old Omani male who presented with right periorbital swelling and proptosis 4 years before presentation. He was diagnosed to have right orbital pseudotumor and exhibited good response to steroid therapy. However, 4 years later, rapid swelling of the right orbital mass was observed. The patient underwent lacrimal gland biopsy. Although the histology was consistent with IgG4-related disease, the infiltrating large atypical lymphoid cells showed that immunoglobulin light-chain restriction and dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate involving the soft tissue were seen. Consequently, he was diagnosed with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma with abundant IgG4-positive cells of the right lacrimal gland.

In the essay discussed were the examples of actions taken by the researchers in Spain and in Poland whose idea was to propagate the thoughts of the author of The Shadow of Sun. The article shows that Kapuściński’s reflections on the topic of the journalist and corespondent profession are still relevant and many Spanish journalists invoke them in their work in a direct or indirect manner.
Mülkiyetin Kültürel Yansımaları Bağlamında Bedduaların Rolü Üzerine
Authors: SAVAŞ Hasan
Published: February 2022

İlenç, kargış gibi Türkçe karşılıkları da bulunan beddualar, sözlü anlatım türlerinden biridir. Ekonomik ve hukuki açıdan birtakım noksanlıkları olan geleneksel toplumlarda beddualara sıklıkla başvurulur. İlgili toplumlarda sözlü kültürün ağır basması bedduaların ortaya çıkış amaçlarını ortaya koyar niteliktedir. Sözlü kültürün önemli bir parçası olan beddualar, sosyal ve kültürel hayatta muhtelif işlevlere sahiptir. Bedduaların muhtelif işlevleri düşünüldüğünde mülkiyetin korunması da bu işlevlere eklenebilir. Beddualar, insanlığın varoluşu ile birlikte mülkiyet kazanımları neticesinde ortaya çıkmış halk edebiyatı mahsulleridir. Nitekim sözün büyüselliği ele alındığında bedduaların ilkel hukuk açısından bir yaptırım gücünün bulunduğu anlaşılır. Sözlü geleneğin hâlen güçlü olduğu geleneksel yaşam tarzını sürdüren topluluklarda da bedduaların halk hukuku açısından önemi ortaya çıkar. İlkel ya da modern hukukun herhangi bir noktada bulunması temelde mülkiyet ilişkilerini de beraberinde getirir. Kişilerin varlıklar üzerindeki hak ve sorumluluklarını ifade eden mülkiyet, toplumsal hayatın hemen hemen her evresinde önemli işlevlere sahip bir olgu olarak karşımıza çıkar. Toplum, sahip olduğu mal ve varlıklarını korumak için çeşitli yollara başvurmuştur. Günümüzde kişilerin mülki kazanımları modern hukuk çerçevesinde koruma altına alınmaktadır. Peki, daha eski dönemlerde toplumun yahut bir bireyin mülki kazanımları nasıl korunmuştur? İlkel hukuk, beddualara mülkiyetin korunması adına bir sorumluluk yüklemiş olabilir mi? Buradan hareketle bedduaların mülkiyet kurumunun korunması adına teşekkül etmiş olabileceği düşüncesi çalışmanın esas konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Türk beddua örnekleri üzerinde bu düşüncenin tatbiki sağlanmış ve mülkiyet ile ilgili hususlar tespit edilmiştir.

— In the age of modern technology like today, object detection is something that is really needed. Object detection is done by considering the type of data collected. This research focused on Identity card detection from an input image taken by a smartphone camera. The Identity card detection is a preliminary step toward automatic identity data collection. Identity data collection is usually performed in a conventional way. This way leads to several problems such as bad data result, unreliable data verification, and long duration on confirming data validity. In this project, we will make an object detection system with YOLOv3 algorithm, and then the result will be used for an edge detection with Canny algorithm and image rectification. The testing result show that YOLOv3 algorithm could reach 92.59 mAP with 5s detection time. While the corner detection for image rectification manage to get an average error of 37.06 pixels. The establishment of this model has important practical significance for improving Identity Card detection process. Keywords—Identity Card Detection, Object Detection, YOLOv3 Model, Corner Detection, Image Rectification
Notes on the Vertebrates of northern Pará, Brazil: a forgotten part of the Guianan Region, I. Herpetofauna
Authors: Avila-Pires Teresa Cristina Sauer , Hoogmoed Marinus Steven , Rocha Wáldima Alves da
Published: February 2022

We discuss the herpetological results of seven expeditions to the Guianan part of Pará, which resulted in a total of 80 species of amphibians (77 frogs and three caecilians) and 95 species of reptiles (36 species of lizards, three species of amphisbaenians, 49 species of snakes, five species of chelonians and two species of caiman). We report six species new to science (three frogs, one caecilian, one lizard, one amphisbaenian), six new records for Brazil (five frogs, one caecilian) and 23 new records for Pará (13 frogs, four lizards, six snakes). For each of the new records we provide comments. Special comment is made about a large population of the toad Atelopus hoogmoedi that seems to be doing well and does not show any signs of population decline as many species of Atelopus at higher elevations do. We provide a complete list of species collected per locality containing data on endemicity, habitat, reproduction and food. For each of the seven collecting sites we provide data on richness and abundance of species. The sites are compared regarding their species composition, even though we can not say how much of the differences are due to specific habitats or geographic variation, seasonal variation or sampling deficiency. We synonymised the Bufonid Rhinella martyi with Bufo margaritifer and selected a lectotype for Rana margaritifera in order to resolve the problems about this name.

Primeiro registro do gênero Anadia (Reptilia: Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae) para Guyana baseado em um enigmático exemplar do monte Kopinang, maciço de Wokomung
Authors: Kok Philippe Jacques Robert , Means Donald Bruce , Rivas Gilson Antonio
Published: February 2022

We provide the first record of the lizard genus Anadia (Gymnophthalmidae) from Guyana, based on an enigmatic specimen collected in the Pakaraima Mountain Range and provisionally referred to Anadia escalerae, a species described from a single specimen collected in the highlands of the Venezuelan Guayana. The new locality extends the known distribution of the genus Anadia to approximately 300 km to the SE and represents the easternmost known record for an Anadia species. The collected specimen is described in detail, compared to other known Anadia species, and closely compared to the holotype of Anadia escalerae, from which it differs in several characteristics that are discussed.

Published: February 2022

The aim of this study is to investigate and benchmark the physical and elastic properties of strut-based lattice structures produced by selective laser melting from 316L stainless steel material, which has many uses in various sectors. Within the scope of the presented study, the relative density and relative elastic modulus for 27 types of strut-based lattice structures of different sizes with simple cubic (SC), body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) geometry were evaluated and compared. Numerical analyzes were utilized due to the evaluated design and dimensional configuration diversity, and consistent results were obtained with the studies published in the previous literature. The findings of the study showed that for all lattice structure types, volume fraction increases with the increasing diameter and decreases with the increasing cell size. With the utilization of same strut diameter and cell size FCC type lattice structures exhibit the highest volumetric fill while SC type lattice structures exhibit the lowest. The increase in the volume fraction increases the relative elastic modulus. For the same volume fraction, SC lattices represent the highest relative elastic modulus while FCC lattices indicate the lowest.

The study investigated the perceptions of fishers on the relationships between catch, fish sizes and the attitudes of fishers towards marine protected areas (MPA) along the coasts of coasts of selected municipalities of Batanagas Province in the Philippines, their benefits, their benefits to fisheries, and the attitudes of local fishers towards MPAs. Data and information from a select group of 209 fisher respondents from the selected MPAs that represented young MPAs (0-5 years since establishment), moderate (10-15 years since establishment) and old MPAs (more than 20 years since establishment). young, moderate and old MPAs. The catches and fish sizes reportedly dropped after MPA establishment at locations with young, moderate and old MPAs. Nevertheless, attitudes of fishers towards MPAs were positive especially at locations with long-established MPAs. Tourism-based livelihoods accounted for the positive attitude of fishers towards MPAs at the young and old MPA sites where tourism was better developed. At least 65% of the respondents from the young MPA and 35% of the respondents from the old MPA sites were engaged in tourism-related activities.
