Σύγκριση και μέτρηση επιφανειών από μαθήτρια με τύφλωση: Ο ρόλος της απτικής αντίληψης
Authors: Κόζα Μαρία , Σκουμπουρδή Χρυσάνθη
Published: September 2022

Η αντίληψη μέσω της αφής είναι μια πολύ-αισθητηριακή διαδικασία που συν-διαμορφώνεται από ένα σύνολο πληροφοριών, οι οποίες συλλέγονται τόσο από την αφή όσο και από την κίνηση, αλλά και τη στάση του σώματος (κύριες πηγές πληροφοριών). Επιπλέον, συντελεστές που συμβάλλουν στην απτική αντίληψη είναι η γλωσσική ικανότητα, η προϋπάρχουσα γνώση, καθώς και το είδος και οι συνθήκες πραγματοποίησης μιας δραστηριότητας (δευτερεύουσες πηγές πληροφοριών). Η συγκεκριμένη εργασία αποτελεί μέρος ευρύτερης έρευνας, που στοχεύει στη διερεύνηση του τρόπου με τον οποίο διαμορφώνεται η απτική αντίληψη μαθητών/τριών με τύφλωση,  χωρίς συνοδά προβλήματα για τη σύγκριση και τη μέτρηση επιφανειών, μέσα από την ανάλυση του ρόλου των πηγών πληροφοριών που χρησιμοποιούν. Στη συγκεκριμένη εργασία θα παρουσιαστεί η μελέτη της περίπτωσης μίας μαθήτριας με τύφλωση, 11 ετών.  Από τα αποτελέσματα φάνηκε ότι η μαθήτρια μπόρεσε να συγκρίνει με επιτυχία τις επιφάνειες αντικειμένων με μέγεθος περίπου δύο παλάμες και αμελητέα την τρίτη διάσταση, αλλά όχι των αντικειμένων με μέγεθος μίας παλάμης και αισθητή την τρίτη διάσταση. Η μέτρηση ορθογώνιων επιφανειών δεν ήταν μια εύκολη διαδικασία για τη μαθήτρια παρόλο που είχε διδαχθεί τον τύπο εύρεσης του εμβαδού.

Women’s access to health care for non-communicable diseases in South Africa: A scoping review.
Authors: Gizamba Jacob , Davies Jess , Africa Chad , Choo-Kang Candice , Goedecke Julia , Madlala Hlengiwe , Lambert Estelle , Rae Dale , Myer Landon , Luke Amy , Dugas Lara R.
Published: September 2022

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity, hypertension (HPT), and type II diabetes (T2D) are of increasing concern in South Africa (SA), with women being more at risk. Authors conducted a scoping review to identify and map the evidence available about the barriers of access to obesity, HPT, and T2D care among women in SA.

Methods: Arksey and O'Malley's framework for scoping review was used. The search of the literature was completed in the Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases between April and May 2022. Only studies conducted among women in SA were eligible for inclusion. Identified barriers were mapped onto Levesque’s framework of access to health care to determine which points along the chain of accessing NCD health care among women are mostly impacted.

Results: Seven articles were included in the review: qualitative (n=2), quantitative (n=2), mixed methods (n=2), and grey literature (n=1). The included studies reported barriers of access to HPT and T2D care only, and no study reported barriers to obesity care. Supply-side barriers included lack of knowledge about available services, physician heavy workloads, medicine stock-outs, limited availability of testing equipment, unaffordable transport costs, travelling longer distances, inefficiently longer waiting times, and delayed referral. Demand-side barriers included women having low self-awareness of NCD status, concerns about confidentiality, perceived discrimination, and poverty.

Conclusions: Access to HPT and T2D services is impacted from perception of need to benefitting from care. Articles included identified barriers affecting the availability and accommodation dimension of access to care, suggesting that HPT and T2D care is often unavailable or that women are unable to reach health facilities or service providers. There is need for more and better-quality research about access to NCD health care in SA, especially among women having a disproportionately high burden of obesity, T2D, and HPT.
Case Report: A digital workflow in the treatment of bruxism in a young patient
Authors: Shopova Dobromira , Mladenov Krasimir
Published: September 2022

Bruxism is increasingly common in today's stressful world and affects mainly young patients. It is a combined disease that involves dentition and its supporting structures, muscles, ligaments and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Here we present a complete combined analog and digital clinical protocol in a patient with parafunction.

A young patient sought help due to impaired aesthetics, as a result of abraded tooth surfaces and severe symptoms of TMJ. We implemented a therapeutic protocol of six stages: deprogramming of the muscles and determination of treatment position and digital optimization; realization of the morphological plan for the upper dentition; non-invasive repositioning of the lower jaw by splint therapy; splint placement and follow-up; morphological planning of the lower dentition and replacement of the splint with fixed prosthesis with follow-up; and completion of the case with ceramic restorations.

The digitally modeled temporary constructions for the upper jaw were made of PMMA and placed in the patient's mouth together with the splint on the lower jaw, made of Ceramill Splintec. After an adaptation period, all restorations were replaced by permanent zirconia.

We achieved restoration of the defects of the dental arches and hard dental tissues and recovery to normal height of the lower third of the face (vertical dimension occlusion), fixed a stable and balanced position of the lower jaw, and repaired the normal physiological position of the TMJ for the patient. Аfter a multi-stage treatment we received a result satisfying the patient, the dentist and the dental technician. Aesthetics and function were restored, and clinical symptoms were removed from the TMJ.
Rhythm, Syntax, Punctuation: A Distant Analysis of the European Sonnet
Authors: Belousova Anastasia , Páramo Rueda Juan Sebastián , Ruiz Charris Paula
Published: September 2022

Elaborating on an analysis of a corpus of more than 1200 sonnets by Italian, French, Spanish, English and Russian authors, this article describes the general rhythmic-syntactic arrangement of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Italian sonnets, European Petrarchist sonnets, and several experiments with this form in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It presents results obtained with the help of a computer program developed for the automated analysis of strophic syntax. The program was created using Boris Tomashevsky’s method based on analyzing the punctuation at the end of poetic lines (the strength of the syntactic pause is evaluated depending on the absence or presence of a punctuation sign: i.e., a comma, a dash, a semicolon, or a full stop / question mark / exclamation mark). We supplemented this with two more indices also based on punctuation. The first characterizes the length of sentences (the percentage of sentences in one line, two lines, three lines, etc.), and the second characterizes the number of sentences that end with a full stop, which comes in the middle of a line followed by the beginning of the next sentence in the same line (or, which is the same, the number of such lines). This study demonstrates that both the number of lines with a strong pause in the middle and the number of short sentences have increased over time.
Ad fontes: Borys Jakubs’kyj’s Nauka virshuvannia and Formation of the Ukrainian Science of Verse
Authors: Ustinov Andrei , Babak Galina
Published: September 2022

The essay describes an arduous process of formation of verse studies in Ukraine in the early 1920s. Borys Jakubs’kyj’s book Nauka virshuvannia [The Science of Versification] published in Kyiv in 1922 served as the first harbinger of a new Ukrainian theory of verse. In developing his science of versification Jakubs’kyj relied on the instrumentarium of the proponents of the Formalist method in literary studies who belonged to the Petrograd Society for the Study of the Poetic Language, known as OPOJAZ, and primarily on the concepts developed by Boris Tomashevskij who pretty much singlehandedly established the OPOJAZ approach to verse theory. After the publication of Jakubs’kyj’s book Tomashevskij also wrote a succinct review in which he expressed the wish to see it translated into Russian (which never happened).

Published: September 2022

Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetically determined disorder of connective tissue. In this article we reviewed epidemiology, types of OI, pathophysiology, symptoms and potential therapies.Material and methods: This paper was based on medical articles collected in PubMed from 2006 to 2022, medical websites and books. The research has been done by looking through key words such as: „osteogenesis imperfecta”, „osteogenesis imperfecta treatment”, „bisphosphonate”, „sillence classification”.Results: The pathophysiology of osteogenesis imperfecta is well understood. Treatment and symptoms of the disease depend on the type of osteogenesis imperfecta.Conclusions: Treatment of the patients with OI is challenging for health care professionals. Medical care for majority of patients with OI extends their life and improves its quality. Despite advances in science, causal treatment still does not exist.
Abordando el Legislar sobre cuestiones Agrícolas y Alimentarias.
Authors: RIEM Fabrice
Published: September 2022

A partir de esbozar la manera como en el derecho internacional, presente y pasado se articularon las necesidades sociales, su satisfacción, los recursos materiales sobre los que éstas se realizaron y las formas de propiedad de la tierra, se analizó la triada tierra, seguridad alimentaria y propiedad. La revisión bibliográfica y documental que soportó el documento hiso énfasis en los materiales generados en el marco de las organizaciones internaciones al tenor de Naciones Unidas, particularmente la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO). Se concluye que es posible y pertinente imaginar normas jurídicas que a la par de recuperar la especificidad de las cosas recuperen la prioridad de las necesidades sociales, en primer lugar, el derecho a la alimentación, cuestión que reformula el papel de la tierra;la clave está en la afirmación de que los recursos vitales no son mercancías como cualquier otra. El hecho de que un bien sea apropiado no impide que se considere “destinado” y que un cierto número de personas se beneficien de él en virtud de este propósito común o colectivo. El problema no es
Trabajadoras Eventuales Agrícolas Subsidiadas.
Authors: Acevedo-Blanco Antonio-Jesús , Martínez-Quintana Violante
Published: September 2022

Con el eje de investigación focalizado en la prestación por desempleo para las trabajadoras eventuales agrícolas subsidiadas (TEAS) este artículo aborda en clave sociológica la política pública del subsidio agrario en Andalucía. Se proyecta el análisis en torno a tres secciones diferenciadas. En primer lugar, plantea retrotraerse a la génesis del subsidio a través de un recorrido sociohistórico. Posteriormente se examina empíricamente la estructura poblacional del subsidio. Por último, en la tercera sección, se testa mediante procedimientos propios del Análisis Espacial Exploratorio la relación entre localizaciones de alta incidencia del paro en Andalucía y mayor peso poblacional de las subsidiadas entre la población activa a nivel municipal. De los resultados obtenidos se desprende la evidencia de una estructura poblacional del subsidio fuertemente feminizada. Esta circunstancia da lugar a proponer el subsidio como un posible escenario de referencia para evaluar las políticas públicas actuales de ingresos mínimos vitales.
Pobreza Campesina, Inseguridad Alimentaria y Autoconsumo de Maíz.
Authors: Aboites-Manrique Gilberto , Pérez-Méndez Marco-Antonio
Published: September 2022

En esta investigación se identificó la pobreza campesina con base en los lineamientos de la ONU y las estadísticas oficiales mexicanas. Se estimó la evolución de la pobreza campesina y los hogares que realizan autoconsumo de 1992 a 2018. Se encontró, por medio del análisis de la evolución de la desigualdad y el uso de herramientas distributivas que el autoconsumo ha perdido relevancia en las fuentes de ingreso de los hogares campesinos en pobreza. Por medio de un modelo de regresión basado en la descomposición de la desigualdad se corroboró que el autoconsumo ha disminuido su proporción dentro de las fuentes de ingreso de los hogares campesinos aun cuando aumenta la pobreza.
Antiprotagorismo, Coevolucionismo Genocultural y Sociología.
Authors: Hernández-Prado José
Published: September 2022

A través de una revisión de los principales supuestos que sustentan a la sociología, se analizó la pertinencia de una perspectiva antiprotagorista que implica hablar de unas ciencias sociohumanas, las cuales estudian la realidad institucional creada por los seres humanos a partir de su lenguaje. Es una realidad institucionalizada y articulada mediante la coevolución genética y cultural. Con base en el análisis de las premisas y conclusiones entre los principales autores de la sociología, pudo articularse el argumento central del texto, referente a la necesidad de avanzar en la construcción de una ciencia social anclada en el antiprotagorismo. Se concluye que un giro coevolucionista genocultural en la sociología y las ciencias sociohumanas mejora nuestra comprensión de los problemas culturales contemporáneos; por ejemplo, el machismo y el patriarcado heterosexual, conductas acentuadas en la cultura dominante del mundo campesino, como se evidenció en el Congreso “Rights of Peasants”.
La Condición Juvenil Rural en los Territorios Agrícolas.
Authors: Sánchez-Sánchez David
Published: September 2022

A través de la recuperación de dos estudios cualitativos basados en teoría fundamentada e investigación-acción participativa, el artículo aporta elementos para la comprensión de la condición juvenil rural, cuestionando las posibilidades, tanto actuales como futuras, de las juventudes rurales para integrarse a la agricultura dominada por la agroindustriaque emergió en la zona de Ixtlahuacán del Rio y Cuquío, en Jalisco, México. Las dimensiones estructural y territorial de la condición juvenil rural permiten comprender la crisis que se cierne sobre las juventudes rurales y sobre las nuevas generaciones, a partir de la examinacióndel sistemade monocultivo de maíz y de explorar sus afectaciones socioambientales; mientras que la dimensión intersubjetiva nos da un panorama sobre la vida cotidiana de las juventudes, las relaciones intergeneracionales y sus conflictos ante tal escenario. Todo en conjunto muestra la complejidad de los espacios rurales intervenidos por la agroindustria y la amenaza que representan al futuro de las juventudes rurales y de los territorios mismos.
Derechos Humanos de los Campesinos y Producción Agrícola del Hogar.
Authors: Llamas-Huitrón Ignacio
Published: September 2022

En el artículo se discuten las condiciones socioeconómicas de un campesino poseedor de una unidad agrícola de producción familiar (UAPF). Asimismo, se analizan las características del hogar campesino y de la UAPF. Se destaca la cultura tradicional del hogar campesino, en particular, a la tradición de heredar la tierra de padres a hijos. En México se observó que algunas de las normas establecidas en la Declaración de los Derechos Humanos de los Campesinos no se cumplen como la segregación ocupacional y la discriminación salarial en contra de las mujeres, y la ausencia de una política efectiva de igualdad de acceso a los servicios educativos, y otras más. Se propone una política pública de promoción de acceso a los servicios de internet, así como a los medios para su uso ya que se considera a este servicio como un “bien habilitador”. En el análisis se utilizó la Encuesta de Ingreso y Gasto de los Hogares 2018 realizada por el INEGI.
Cyberbezpieczeństwo w Polsce : od dyskursów do polityk publicznych
Authors: Siudak Robert
Published: September 2022

The dissertation focuses on the social construction of dangers resulting from increasing dependence on the continuous functioning of information and communication technologies. The author’s aim is to analyze the social processes of constructing cybersecurity issues in the Polish public debate between 2017 and 2021. This is carried out by identifying the main cybersecurity discourses in Poland. The results suggest that threats related to the functioning of information and communication technologies were perceived through the prism of five types of cybersecurity discourse: technological, civic, international, economic and discourse on national security. The most widespread and influential types of discourse, also in terms of shaping public policies, turned out to be technological and national security discourses.
Goals, Constraints, and Transparently Fair Assignments: A Field Study of Randomization Design in the UEFA Champions League
Authors: Boczoń Marta , Wilson Alistair J.
Published: September 2022

We analyze the design of a randomization procedure in a field setting with high stakes and substantial public interest: matching sports teams in the Union of European Football Association Champions League. While striving for fairness in the chosen lottery—giving teams similar distributions over potential partners—the designers seek to balance two conflicting forces: (i) imposing a series of combinatorially complex constraints on the feasible matches; and (ii) designing an easy-to-understand and credible randomization. We document the tournament’s solution, which focuses on sequences of uniform draws over each element in the final match, assisted by a computer to form the support for each draw. We first show that the constraints’ effects within this procedure are substantial, with shifts in expected prizes of up to a million euro and large distortions in match likelihoods of otherwise comparable team pairs. However, examining all possible counterfactual lotteries over the feasible assignments, we show that the generated inequalities are, for the most part, unavoidable and that the tournament design is close to a constrained-best. In two extensions, we outline how substantially fairer randomizations are possible when the constraints are weakened, and how the developed procedure can be adopted to more-general settings.

Parents’ attitudes towards conversations with their young children about sex: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Jackson Jessica , Rhodes Christine , Kotera Yasuhiro
Published: September 2022

Background:

Parental confidence and attitudes towards a young child's readiness to receive sex education are varied and complex. There is growing global concern about increased sexual activity among younger children and related discussions about how families address sex education in the home.

Aim:

The purpose of this study was to identify determinants of parents’ communication about sex with their primary school-aged child/ren.

Methods:

The study employed a cross-sectional design for UK parents with at least one child aged 5–11 years using an online questionnaire which incorporated validated scales.

Findings:

A total of 205 parents participated with a total of 405 children. Parents with more than one child were more likely to have had a conversation with their child about sex and were more confident in talking about the reproductive process and healthy sexual relationships.

Conclusions:

Parents with the confidence to engage children in conversations about sex can support targeted risk behaviour, pubertal development and sexuality.

Extensive Employment of Chemically Treated Elephas maximus Dung in Sequestration of Oxyfluorfen: Batch, Isothermal and Kinetic Modeling
Authors: Preethi G Preethi G , Andal N Muthulakshmi
Published: September 2022

Presently, one of the most employed herbicides is Oxyfluorfen, used to control the growth of annual broadleaf and grassy weeds. On the other hand, effective disposal of redundant Elephas maximus dung (EMD) is important for environmental protection and utilization of resource. Aim of the article is focused on sequestration of Oxyfluorfen from aqueous media employing Elephas maximus dung (EMD), a natant biowaste, seldom reported elsewhere. Experimental setup is planned via batch mode under varying operational factors viz., particle size, initial Oxyfluorfen concentration, MEMD dosage, contact time, pH and temperature. The obtained results validated through isothermal and kinetic models imply notable fit in of Langmuir isotherm and Pseudo II Order kinetic models with a maximum of 88.9 % oxyfluorfen removal. Based on the derived observations, supported by theoretical calculations, it is concluded that Elephas maximus dung (EMD) powder, possess maximum potential towards chelation of Oxyfluorfen, thereby succoring an alternate eco-friendly process.

Authors: Ganjegaonkar S. B. , Deshmukh J. H. , Pawar P. A.
Published: September 2022

In the present work the study of antimicrobial activity of ligand N(3-ethoxy-2-hyroxybenzylidine)-pyridine-2-amine, and its metal complexes was investigated. Ligand (L4) was synthesized by condensation of 2- aminopyridine and o-vanillin and by making some alterations in the previous method, synthesis of Cu(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) complexes was also carried out. The structure of the synthesised complexes has been defined using microanalysis, conductivity measurement, electronic spectra, IR spectra, and NMR spectra. It has been observed that the activity of complexes was more towards staphylococcus aureus, bacillus subtitles, Escherichia coli, and klebsiella pneumonia in comparison to the ligand. It was noticed that the presence of OCH3 group magnifies the antibacterial as well as antifungal activity of the ligand.

Authors: Sadavarte Prajakta Shamrao , Zaware Bhaskar Hari , Takate Sushama Jayawant
Published: September 2022

The current approach involves the kinetic investigation of Thiobenzamide (TB) and cyclohexanone thiosemicarbazone (CTSC) in solution with 3-chloroacetylacetone(3-CAA). The study revealed a second-order rate constant with respect to both reactants, thioamide and an α-halo carbonyl compound. The energy of activation (Ea) was found to be Ea 48.8176 kJ/mol/K for thiobenzamide and 33.08692157 kJ/mol/K for Cyclohexanone thiosemicarbazone. The salt effect study showed the formation of ionic species during the reaction. The reactions were studied with respect to changes in dielectric constant using solvent systems like water-ethanol and water-isopropanol.

Authors: M. Vasuki M. Vasuki , M. Karthika M. Karthika , Saraswathi G. , S. Akila S. Akila
Published: September 2022

This investigation focuses on the effectiveness of coconut shell activated carbon in removing synthetic dye mixture from aqueous solutions. Coconut shell activated carbon, an economical and effective adsorbent, was made from agricultural waste raw material and chemically activated by sulphuric acid treatment. Activated carbon is characterised using FT-IR and SEM analysis. Batch adsorption studies were conducted by adjusting conditions such contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration and temperature. The equilibrium of the adsorption process was described through analysis of isothermal models including Freundlich, Langmuir, and Scatchard. Kinetic data followed a pseudo-second order model. Thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption was endothermic, spontaneous, and feasible. The results of the experiment indicate that coconut shell activated carbon is an effective, environmentally acceptable adsorbent for eliminating synthetic dye mixt from aqueous solution.

Total Knee Arthroplasty in Bilateral Severe Fixed Flexion Deformity: A Case Report
Authors: S Rajesh , D R Supreeth , Kalyan Hemant K.
Published: September 2022

Background: Severe bilateral Fixed flexion deformity of the knees resulting from irreversible joint damage is a disabling complication of long-standing rheumatoid arthritis, associated with loss of ambulatory ability. While Total knee Arthroplasty is an effective treatment for such patients, it poses significant intra-operative technical demands and challenges with post-operative rehabilitation. Method: We report a case of Severe Fixed flexion deformity of both knees in a 46-year-old male with long-standing rheumatoid arthritis, non-ambulatory since 5 years, treated by sequential total knee arthroplasty. Results: Treating Severe bilateral Fixed flexion deformities in a non-ambulatory patient by sequential total knee Arthroplasty using standard implants yielded complete deformity correction and pain-free restoration of active range of motion in both knees with stable independent ambulation and complete restoration of lower limb function within 3 months of surgery. Conclusion: Our case is particularly remarkable for complete restoration of stable, pain-free restoration of ambulation within 3months in a patient with severe bilateral knee fixed flexion deformities who had been non-ambulatory for 5 years preceding his bilateral sequential total knee arthroplasty. Keywords: Fixed flexion deformity, Total knee arthroplasty, Common peroneal nerve, Rheumatoid arthritis.

Effect of lemongrass oil (Cymbopogon sp.) as anesthesia material in the closed transportation process of white snapper seeds (Lates calcarifer)
Authors: Yuniarti Tristiana , Haditomo Alfabetian Harjuno Condro , Rizkiana Janet
Published: September 2022

White snapper, Lates calcalifer, is a sea fish who was widely cultivated because the price reaches IDR 63,000.00/ kg for market size (500 gram up). Demand of white snapper on the market tends to increase, but there are high mortality problems when transporting seeds from seed sources to the destination location where was relatively far away. Lemongrass oil had geraniol compounds, citronellol and aromatherapy odors could reduce anxiety (sedatives) and reduce the level of fish metabolism by making the fish faint. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lemongrass oil on survival rate, blood profile (total of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and glucose levels) post-transportation of white snapper seeds with length and weight average of 9.71 ± 0.62 cm and 11.33 ± 1.82 g, respectively. The method used was experimental and completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments 3 replications (0, 10, 20, 30 µl/L). The results showed that the allocation lemongrass oil with different concentrations gave a real effect on the survival rate but did not significantly affect the blood profile after transportation. The best concentration of lemongrass oil is 10 µl/L with survival rate of 100%.Keywords:AnesthesiaWhite snapperCymbopogon sp.Transportation

The purpose of this research was to determine the content of heavy metals and microbiological quality, and compare to the requirements of the quality standard values according to SNI 2729:2013 and SNI 2705:2014, as well as to determine the value of the Bioaccumulation Factor (BAF) and the maximum consumption limit of fish and giant prawns heavy metal-concentrated. This researh used survey and random sampling methods, i.e  taking research samples (tilapia, broom fish, and giant prawns) at 3 (three) observation stations, including Station 1 Amplas, Station 2 Denai, and Station 3 Percut. Heavy metal content (Pb and Cd) and microbiological quality (E.coli and Salmonella, sp) were analysed. Data analysis was done by inference and calculated using Microsoft office Excel (Microsoft Inc., USA) descriptively. The results showed that all samples in each observation did not meet the quality standard value requirements according to SNI 2729:2013 and SNI 2705:2014. The average heavy metal content of Lead (Pb) was 0,3 mg/kg in tilapia and broom fish, and 0,5 mg/kg in giant prawns. The content of heavy metal Cadmium (Cd), were 0,1 mg/kg in tilapia and broom fish, and 0,5 mg/kg in giant prawns. All samples also showed positive in containing E.coli and Salmonella, sp. The value of Bioaccumulation Factor (BAF) of heavy metals (Pb and Cd) in all samples was 1, meaning that the sample's ability to accumulate heavy metals (Pb and Cd) was high. The maximum limit for consumption of concentrated samples of heavy metals in tilapia was 0,196 kg/week, broom fish was 0,221 kg/week, and giant prawns was 0,203 kg/week.

Published: September 2022

Probiotics are beneficial microbes in living things that are useful for improving the balance of microbes in the digestive tract and have a positive influence on the physiology and healthiness of the host. This study aimed to obtain bacterial isolates that could be used as probiotics from striped mullet (Mugil cephalus) and to characterize it macroscopically, microscopically, and biochemically. Isolation of probiotic bacteria was carried out using the spread plate method. The medium used to isolate probiotic bacteria was MRSA (De Man Rogose Sharpe Agar) medium. The probiotic test was carried out by hydrolysis of starch and casein. The diversity of bacterial morphology was observed based on macroscopic, microscopic, and biochemical tests. A total of 2 probiotic bacteria (PIB 1 and PIB 2) were obtained. The characterization results showed that the two probiotic bacteria belonged to the Gram-positive bacteria, in the form of bacilli which had different colony morphology. The results of morphological and biochemical tests indicated that one bacterial isolate belonged to the genus Bacillus (PIB 1) and the other isolate belonged to the genus Lactobacillus (PIB 2).

The People of Peukan Bada generally work as fishermen. The ships used by the Peukan Bada people are generally wooden material. The capture fisheries sector in the Peukan Bada area is currently still small in scale. This can be seen from the type of fishing gear used by ships operating in the waters of Peukan Bada. The problem is that the shipbuilding industry in Peukan Bada is currently not developing following the challenges faced. So it is necessary to develop a fishing boat yard in the area. The purpose of this research is to find out what meters need to be considered in the development process. The method of collecting data used in this study is the survey method. The survey that will be carried out is by directly observing the conditions and assessing factors related to fishing vessels, the data needed to support this research method is primary data. The primary data were obtained from direct observations of various activities carried out in the shipyard and the results of interviews obtained with workers in the shipyard. The data analysis used is Fishing Bone Analysis the result of this research is that this shipbuilding industry has developments that are still far from capacity, potential, needs, and the need for the development of land parameters, human resources, machinery, materials, methods or ways of working, shipping flows and production capacity.

We report a method for integrating GaAs waveguide circuits containing self-assembled quantum dots on a Si/SiO2 wafer, using die-to-wafer bonding. The large refractive-index contrast between GaAs and SiO2 enables fabricating single-mode waveguides without compromising the photon-emitter coupling. Anti-bunched emission from individual quantum dots is observed, along with a waveguide propagation loss <7 dB/mm, which is comparable with the performance of suspended GaAs circuits. These results enable the integration of quantum emitters with different material platforms, towards the realization of scalable quantum photonic integrated circuits.
Generalized equivalent circuit model for analysis of graphene/metal-based plasmonic metasurfaces using Floquet expansion
Authors: Pasdari-Kia Mohammad , Memarian Mohammad , Khavasi Amin
Published: September 2022

Due to the wide range of applications of metal/graphene-based plasmonic metasurfaces (sensors, absorbers, polarizers), it has become essential to provide an analytical method for modeling these structures. An analytical solution simplified into a circuit model, in addition to greatly reducing the simulation time, can become an essential tool for designing and predicting the behaviors of these structures. This paper presents a high-precision equivalent circuit model to study these structures in one-dimensional and two-dimensional periodic arrays. In the developed model, metallic patches similar to graphene patches are modeled as surface conductivity and with the help of current modes induced on them, the equivalent impedance related to the array is calculated. However, the proposed method has less complexity than the previous methods, is more accurate and more flexible against geometry changes and can be applied to an array of patches embedded in a layered medium with minor changes and modifications. A Metal-Insulator-Metal metasurface, as well as an array of graphene ribbons placed on two dielectric layers, are investigated as two types of widely used metasurfaces in this paper and it is shown that the proposed circuit model is a fast and efficient method to predict the behaviors of these metasurfaces.
