Introducción. Rhipicephalus microplus es considerada la garrapata más importante en el ganado bovino, su control con métodos biológicos y biorracionales son una actividad preponderante de estudio, bajo el esquema de buenas prácticas de sanidad animal. Objetivo. Evaluar la eficacia de la mezcla Metarhizium anisopliae (Ma14) con tierras diatomeas micronizadas (silicio) en diferentes porcentajes para el control biológico de R. microplus en ganado bovino. Métodos. Se utilizaron 30 semovientesruza Bos taurus x Bos indicus) con un peso promedio de 500 kg, divididos en tres grupos de 10 animales cada uno (cinco hembras y cinco machos), identificados con collar de colores como: grupo T1 (testigo: agua con Tween 80 al 0.1%), grupo T2 [tratamiento: 50% esporas de M. anisopliae Ma14 (1×108 conidios/mL) y 50% material inerte con Tween 80 al 0.1%] y grupo T3 [tratamiento 25% esporas de M. anisopliae Ma14 (1×108 conidios/mL) y 75% material inerte con Tween 80 al 0.1%]. Se asperjaron 5 L/animal, los cuales se mantuvieron en pastoreo. El tratamiento consistió en dos aplicaciones con intervalos de 10 días cada uno durante un periodo de 21 días; se realizaron conteos visuales para cuantificar el número de garrapatas vivas en los días 0, 3, 7, 14 y 21 postratamiento (PT), con ello se determinó la eficacia, el cual se analizó con un ANOVA para un diseño completo al azar y comparación de medias Tukey (P=0.05, Morín et al., 1996).

A Antropologia Forense é o ramo da Antropologia Física que lida com as perícias criminais de ossadas e de cadáveres carbonizados ou em estado avançado de decomposição. A estimativa do sexo é uma etapa essencial para identificar indivíduos desconhecidos e geralmente depende da presença de ossos altamente dimórficos, como a pelve e o crânio. Na ausência do crânio e da pelve, as vértebras podem ser utilizadas para a estimativa do sexo, pois é um osso favorecido pela preservação, dentre elas a sétima vértebra. O objetivo do nosso estudo foi de realizar um estudo osteométrico em sétimas vértebras cervicais secas de adultos e relacionar os resultados com o sexo. Para isto utilizamos uma amostra de 118 vértebras, sendo 75 do sexo masculino e 43 do sexo feminino, todas pertencentes ao Centro de Antropologia Forense da FAP-Araripina. Realizamos quatro medidas lineares nestas vértebras: diâmetro anteroposterior máximo, diâmetro transverso máximo, diâmetro transverso do forame vertebral e diâmetro anteroposterior do corpo. Todas as medidas foram realizadas com auxílio de um paquímetro digital de precisão da marca Vonder. De acordo com os nossos resultados, as quatro medidas se apresentaram com médias maiores no sexo masculino, estando de acordo com a literatura. Esperamos que mais estudos em nossa população sejam realizados, principalmente em diferentes regiões, devido à grande área territorial do Brasil e a grande miscigenação existente em nosso país.

Authors: Cui Jiarui , Zhao Yan , Li Qian
Published: August 2023

Divestment is an effective way to allocate resources in the capital market. In recent years, the frequency and scale of divestment of listed companies in China continue to increase. Based on A sample of A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2011 to 2020, this paper examines the relationship between divestment and corporate financial flexibility from the perspective of corporate governance, and examines the moderating effect of managerial ability on the relationship. The results show that divestment is significantly positively correlated with corporate financial flexibility, and the management ability can promote its positive effect. Further research finds that financial constraints play a significant intermediary role in the impact of divestment on financial flexibility, that is, divestment can promote the improvement of financial flexibility by alleviating financial constraints.

The countryside is a late-developing place for the popularization of digital model. Digitalization has brought technical advantages to rural party building, such as online information and data, collaborative information resources and accurate party building services. However, at present, rural areas are facing problems such as weak "key nodes", digital gap, imperfect operation mechanism and insufficient investment in software and hardware. In the new development stage, rural digital party building should: strengthen the "key nodes" of digital party building; Focus on solving the "digital divide" problem; Improve the operation mechanism of rural digital party building; Increase the capital investment in rural digital party building, so as to implement the work of digital party building and improve the governance efficiency of rural party organizations.
Appunti di termodinamica
Authors: Olivares Stefano
Published: August 2023

Appunti di Termodinamica non vogliono essere un nuovo testo sull’argomento. Sono “appunti”, a volte molto approfonditi, che si propongono di essere prima di tutto utili per fare propri gli elementi fondamentali della termodinamica. Questo libro si basa sul percorso che ho pensato per l’insegnamento di Termodinamica per il Corso di Laurea in Fisica dell’Università degli Studi di Milano. Un percorso intrapreso innanzitutto da me, come primo e ultimo studente, per rispondere alle domande che nascono addentrandosi nello studio della termodinamica. A volte si tratta di domande anche curiose, ma mai banali, che permettono a chi guarda attentamente di vedere con occhi nuovi il mondo che ci circonda e che, spero, possa infine apparire un mondo nuovo e meraviglioso!

Authors: Assi Mohammed Hussein , Zghair Muna Abdulghani , Al-Hussaini Hayder Imad
Published: August 2023

Background: Clinical examination by palpation is often inaccurate. Consequently, imaging techniques have become vital for the accurate assessment of splenic size. Objectives: To evaluate the range of normal splenic length in the Iraqi population and correlate it with some anthropometric indices. Methods: The splenic lengths were measured by CT scan in 110 adults. Statistical analysis was performed according to age and sex and the correlation of splenic length with anthropometric indices like body weight, height, body mass index (BMI), and body surface area (BSA). Results: The mean length of the spleen was 9.7±1.9 cm for both genders: 10±2 for males and 9±1.4 for females. The mean splenic lengths in the Iraqi population were similar to those of the Sudanese and Turkish populations, less than those of the Jordanian and Iranian populations, and slightly more than those of the Indian and Nigerian populations. The mean splenic length is greater in males than in females. There was a modest positive correlation between splenic length and height and body surface area, but not weight or body mass index. Conclusion: Standard splenic length ranges in Iraqi adults using CT scan imaging can be easily used in clinical practice to calculate the splenic length depending on some anthropometric indices like height and BSA.

Authors: Othman Achraf
Published: August 2023

Technology has made social inclusion possible for people with disabilities worldwide. It ensures access to media, education, employment through assistive technology. To create inclusive policies and laws, decision makers must understand ICT products and services, their compliance with international accessibility requirements, and their use in the country. This study presents MARSAD, an e-readiness assessment instrument developed and implemented by Mada Center to discover factors that influence ICT accessibility for persons with disabilities living in the State of Qatar. It measures the national ICT accessibility adoption rate and makes recommendations to increase digital access for government and semi-government organisations' digital platforms. 14 educational and cultural institutions used the tool. Participating institutions have significant ICT infrastructure gaps to provide an inclusive digital environment, which is in line with sustainability and SDG 11, to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Based on MARSAD outcomes, member institutions were willing to invest in making improvements. The method can be used as a basis for e-readiness assessment studies to provide accessible ICT products and services for persons with disabilities and the elderly.

Planning for an urban recreational landscape : tracing geographies of outdoor recreation in the compact city
Authors: Engström Amalia
Published: August 2023

Outdoor recreational activities, at recreational facilities, in nature and urban green areas, are proven to benefit both the mental and physical health of urban residents. However, in the contemporary urban planning paradigm, where compact cities are forefront, planning for outdoor recreational amenities is increasingly in conflict with such compact ideals. In a Swedish context, a historical perspective on the question of outdoor recreation in the urban sphere discloses a rich legacy of past welfare recreational planning resting on the notion of enabling sports for all. In this thesis, I aim to offer an interpretation, and to deepen the understanding of, the interactions and tensions between outdoor recreation, compact city models and lingering planning legacies of past recreational planning. I do this in order to scrutinise the conditions for outdoor recreation within the compact city. The thesis adopts a material-semiotic approach and leans on assemblage theory, science and technology scholars working on the ordering effects of planning and previous studies on materialised discourses in the landscape. Findings of the thesis indicate an increasing fragmentation of outdoor recreation. This fragmentation leads to multiple definitions of the issue and a fragmented geography for outdoor recreation. These intertwined fragmentations, the thesis argues, support the rationales of the compact city, while marginalising outdoor recreational geographies. Based on the findings, the thesis concludes a need of reassembling landscapes for outdoor recreation and suggests that a historical perspective offers a fruitful way to do so.

Authors: Chakraborty Anirban
Published: August 2023

In this paper a GIS [4, 5, 6] anchored system has been proposed, enable to suggest the suitable locations for constructing the utility service stations. The information regarding the population of the customers in different wards/areas is fed through GUI in a digitized map [1], generally of a large region and to increase the portability of the system the information are kept using flat-file system. The technique takes as input the number of desired utility service stations to be constructed and then forms cluster of the adjacent wards/areas using the k-means method of clustering, under the condition that population of each cluster must be approximately equal. The proposed location of the utility service station and the areas covered up by any station are displayed graphically onto the map. The motivation behind selecting the location is that, the allotment of the customers to any service station should be done in a uniform way or in other words none of the customer should travel long to reach service station.

Published: August 2023

High and low density polyethylene, HDPE and LDPE; polypropylene, PP; polystyrene, PS; and polyethyleneterephthalate, PET) make up the majority of municipal plastic waste (MPW). The goal of this study was to create a kinetic model to apply thermogravimetric analysis to uncover the real reaction mechanism of mixed waste plastic (TGA). To determine the mechanism of MPW pyrolysis, a variety of techniques including Kissinger, Akahirae-Sunose, KAS, Malek, and linear model fitting were used. The results were evaluated using experimental data from TGA. Five types of waste plastic waste decomposition on different setpoint(10 ̊C/min & 20 ̊C/min), temperature of 30 ̊C to 530 ̊C and the sample size 1-4 mm. in the model fitting method we use the criado method. As a result of the fluctuation in apparent activation energy with conversion and kinetic model with heating rate, the results demonstrated that a complicated process, rather than a simple 1st order, occurs during the breakdown. Key words: Mixed waste plastic, Thermogravimetric analysis, Kinetic parameters, Decomposition model etc.

We are studying the challenge of finding text in everyday images using advanced computer techniques, specifically deep learning. Our system can accurately spot and read text in images. It uses Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks (CRNNs), a type of deep learning model, to locate and understand the text. Instead of relying on manual rules, our model learns from the data to identify text patterns. Our projects unique feature is that our model is trained on single- word images, making it versatile in recognizing different text styles and backgrounds. We trained our model using a large dataset, including the “MJ Synthetic Word Dataset”, which consists of 50,000 out of which we have taken 35000 astraining images, 15000 as validation images. The results have been promising, indicating potential real-world applications such as searching for words in large sets of images.

Het materiële privaatrecht is onderworpen aan een tendens van instrumentalisering, onder meer onder invloed van Europees consumentenrecht. Wordt ook terecht gesproken van instrumentalisering van burgerlijk procesrecht? Of vergelijken we dan appels met peren?

Hervorming van het appelprocesrecht: een kwestie van experimenteren?

De herkansingsfunctie en de positieve zijde van de devolutieve werking staan in de literatuur al lange tijd ter discussie. Met de aanhoudend ‘slechte’ cijfers over doorlooptijden, een afnemende populariteit van civiele rechtspraak, de opdracht om rechtspraak ‘maatschappelijk effectief’ te laten zijn én de Tijdelijke Experimentenwet rechtspleging in de startblokken, houdt de auteur de gevoerde discussies nog eens tegen het licht. Zij bespreekt of de experimentenwet wellicht uitkomst biedt bij (vastgelopen) discussies over hervormingen in hoger beroep, en zo ja, welke experimenten dan zinvol zouden kunnen zijn.

Europa en de instrumentalisering van het bewijsrecht

In deze bijdrage wordt de invloed van het EU-recht op het Nederlandse bewijsrecht verkend. Aan de hand van voorbeelden uit de rechtspraak wordt geïllustreerd dat het EU-recht leidt tot ‘instrumentalisering’ van het bewijsrecht: een opkomst van veelal publiekrechtelijk georiënteerde bewijsregels. Onderzocht wordt of in zuiver nationale bewijskwesties reflexwerking moet worden toegekend aan zulke Europese bewijsregels.

Science Without Borders – Can Translation Tools Bridge the Language Gap?
Authors: Beeby Claire , Raynsford Eleanor J , Pollitt Charles
Published: August 2023

Although access to scientific information has improved for the general public since the introduction of plain language summaries (PLSs) and the open-access publishing movement, language barriers still impede the widespread dissemination of information. Most scientific articles are published in English language only, despite English speakers comprising just 17% of the world’s population. Here we present a pilot analysis that aimed to compare the translation quality of PLSs and abstracts translated by a selected browser-based translation software. We translated abstracts and PLSs from 5 medical journal publications into French, German, Mandarin, and Slovenian using Google Translate. Four bilingual reviewers with a scientific background assessed the translation quality using pre-defined survey questions that covered the appropriateness of word/phrase selection, grammar, and clarity. We assessed the number of errors of each type and used a 5-point Likert scale to measure the impact of these errors on the meaning of the text. Translations of both PLSs and abstracts were considered accurate and readable, although PLSs scored higher across most measures. For overall accuracy, translated PLSs scored higher on the Likert scale than translated abstracts (mean, 4.60 vs 4.30, respectively), with 60% of PLS translations considered to be “very accurate” compared with 45% of abstract translations. PLSs were also considered less likely to be misinterpreted (mean, 4.55 vs 4.25, respectively), with 60% of PLS translations versus 45% of abstract translations reported as “definitely not” likely to be misinterpreted. Based on our findings, Google Translate potentially offers a quick and easy approach to translating scientific/medical information summaries for non-English speakers. However, before these articles can be translated, they must be discoverable by non-English speakers. Engagement and collaboration with medical publishers are needed to improve access for non-English speakers, including provision and PubMed indexing of PLSs that can be translated easily.

Overcoming Obstacles and Building Bridges in Global Medical Communications
Authors: Kukielka Liz
Published: August 2023

Medical communicators are tasked with delivering scientific information to numerous stakeholders, including patients, caregivers, providers, researchers, policymakers, and payors, around the world. In recent years, content offerings have expanded beyond traditional scientific publications deliverables, such as abstracts and articles, to include enhancements that are more easily digestible by patients or busy clinicians, such as plain language summaries, infographics, graphical abstracts, and other multimedia formats. Global medical communication is a burgeoning field that involves the delivery of cutting-edge scientific research to a broader global audience. However, medical and scientific articles have historically been published only in English and kept behind journal paywalls, limiting accessibility by the global scientific community. In this special issue of the AMWA Journal, we explore some of these issues and consider ways that medical communicators are improving access to scientific data and bridging the gaps between stakeholders around the world.
