Phenotypic characters in crossed plants is very important to find out the success of a cross and the differences in characters between one type and another. The purpose of this study was to identify and determine the best phenotypic characters resulting from crosses of maize plants in the F4 generation. This research was carried out on agricultural land in Oloboju Village (Bulu Pontu Jaya SP2), at an altitude of 176 meters above sea level, with a latitude of 1ᵒ00'21" South Latitude and 119ᵒ56'50.49" North Latitude. Sigi Biromaru District, Sigi Regency. The study started from February to July 2020. This study was structured using a randomized block design with five maize cultivars from F3 crosses as treatments, namely: purple corn cultivar, dominant yellow: purple, white dominant purple, purple dominant white, and purple dominant yellow which was repeated five times to obtain 25 experimental plots. The observed variables were: plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, age at which male flowers were released, age at which female flowers were released, age at harvest, cob length, cob diameter, number of cob seeds, percentage of color, and weight of 100 seeds. The research data were analyzed using ovarian analysis, which was followed by the HSD test at the 1% level. The results showed that purple corn cultivars had the best phenotypic characteristics, namely, plant height reached 226.55 cm, cob diameter reached 40.95 mm, cob length reached 15.05 cm, color percentage reached 70.39%, number of cob seeds reached 411 .70 seeds and has a slightly fluffier texture and a slightly less sweet taste until it is quite sweet.

Published: July 2024

Closed-house cages have zones in them that have different conditions. Zoning in cages has different temperatures, humidity, speed, and ammonia levels and affects broiler performance.  This study aims to determine the effect of different zoning on microclimate conditions and broiler performance in closed-house cages. This research was carried out from June 9, 2023 – to July 6, 2023, at the closed-house cage “Chicken Farm Janna” in Taipa Village, North Palu District, Palu City, Central Sulawesi Province. This study used 396 broiler samples aged 1-28 days with a DOC (Day-old chick) weight of ± 37 grams/head. The strain used is Lohman produced by PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia. This study used a t-test with 2 treatments and 9 repeats. The treatment studied is Z1 = Zone 1-60 meters from the inlet and Z2 = Zone 60-120 meters from the inlet. The results of the t-test show that different zoning has a significant influence (t count >t table) on microclimate conditions and broiler performance in closed-house cages. Different zoning exerts a real influence on microclimate conditions and the performance of broilers in closed-house cages. In the closed house cage, the zone opposite the inlet (zone 2) results in a temperature rise, a rise in ammonia levels, a drop in humidity, a loss in body weight, and an increase in mortality.

Accurately representing the relationships between nitrogen supply and
photosynthesis is crucial for reliably predicting carbon-nitrogen cycle
coupling in Earth System Models (ESMs). Most ESMs assume positive
correlations among soil nitrogen supply, leaf nitrogen content, and
photosynthetic capacity. However, leaf photosynthetic nitrogen demand
may influence the leaf nitrogen response to soil nitrogen supply, thus
responses to nitrogen supply are expected to be largest in environments
where demand is greatest. Using a nutrient addition experiment
replicated at 26 sites spanning four continents, we demonstrated that
climate variables were stronger predictors of leaf nitrogen content than
soil nutrient supply. Leaf nitrogen increased more strongly with soil
nitrogen supply in regions with highest theoretical leaf nitrogen
demand, increasing more in colder and drier environments than warmer and
wetter ones. Thus, leaf nitrogen responses to nitrogen supply are
primarily influenced by climatic gradients in photosynthetic nitrogen
demand, an insight that will improve ESM predictions.

Published: July 2024

This study quantifies methane emissions in clean areas of Western China
using TROPOMI XCH4 observations and a mass conserving method, while
explicitly considering observational uncertainty. All resulting
physically unrealistic emissions values are successfully identified and
filtered using a mixture of a threshold-based approach and a stochastic
approach focused on the impacts of the pixel-by-pixel and day-by-day
XCH4 uncertainty. A resulting minimum emission retrieval value of
0.5-1.8 μg/m²/s is obtained, which is lower than existing minimum
thresholds using TROPOMI. Additionally, our results demonstrate that
there is a 5% emissions bias due to the non-linearity of the gradient
term when the XCH4 contains a 10% error. This method does not randomly
remove negative values and retain positive values, therefore providing
robust and reliable quantification of emissions under conditions of data
uncertainty.

Published: July 2024

This study analyzes the 12-year trend of cases involving auditor wrongdoing as disclosed on the Audit Oversight Board (AOB) Malaysia's website from 2012 to 2023. Utilizing content analysis, the research examines the nature, frequency, and severity of penalties or sanctions imposed on audit firms for various offenses. Findings indicate a dynamic pattern of regulatory actions, reflecting Malaysia's evolving landscape of audit quality and regulatory oversight. It was revealed that a total of 56 breaches of the Securities Commission Act 1993 involving 30 audit firms were reported and disclosed by the Audit Oversight Board over the period from 2012 to 2023.  The findings revealed that most misconduct cases relate to the failure of audit firms to comply with the requirements of International Auditing Standards, International Standard on Quality Control and Malaysian Institute of Accountant By-Laws. There has been a notable decrease in cases involving auditors over the past six years. This could also indicate the dedication of the AOB to monitoring auditors' conduct to prevent their involvement in malpractice. This study contributes to the understanding of audit regulation effectiveness and the behavioral patterns of auditors in response to regulatory scrutiny.

Effect of brazing process on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of Ti6Al4V/ZrO2 joints after laser surface treatment
Authors: Ji Fei , Li Yuanxing , Dong Wenxin , Jiang Ping , Chen Hui
Published: July 2024

Ti6Al4V alloy and ZrO2 ceramic have similar application fields and complementary properties. Brazing connections can broaden the application range. When using sealing glass with good air tightness, good electrical insulation, and low connection temperature to connect, the solder is difficult to wet on the metal surface. The traditional method is to oxidize the surface of the alloy at a high temperature, but the film is not uniform and the treatment time is long. In this study, nanosecond laser surface treatment was used as a prewelding pretreatment method to form a micro-nano structure on the surface and perform oxidation treatment. It is particularly important to select the brazing process. After the laser parameters and processing times were determined, the effects of different welding temperatures and holding times on the properties of the joints were compared, and it was found that there were regular changes. Finally, it is concluded that the maximum shear strength is 46 MPa when the welding temperature is 650 °C and the holding time is 30 min. Under this process, the performance of the joint significantly improved under the dual effects of mechanical bonding and metallurgical bonding. This study provides a new idea for the connection of metal and ceramic and has reference value for the selection of the brazing process.
Comunidades energéticas, estrategia para la transición energética en Colombia
Authors: Vanegas Mejía Henry , Morales Puerta Gloria Stella
Published: July 2024

Este artículo incita a la comunidad académica, científica y de prestación de servicios a reflexionar sobre las oportunidades que tiene actualmente Colombia con la opción latente de establecer “comunidades energéticas”, uno de los puntos de partida para la transición energética.
Desde este enfoque, la transición energética sería vista como una construcción y/o visión territorial, de competencias y muy particular, sobre el camino a seguir por una comunidad energética para volverse ambientalmente justa. Una transición inclusiva, que crea oportunidades, que maximiza beneficios y optimiza costos, que asume desafíos para la preservación y conservación del medio ambiente (cultural, natural y social) y que gestiona su propio desarrollo. 
Colombia y el mundo han avanzado en la formulación de algunas políticas y provisión de financiamiento para dar pie a la transición energética. En concreto, a nivel global ya existen algunas comunidades energéticas en funcionamiento y están por formarse en el país. En este sentido, el actual Gobierno está avanzando en la regulación pertinente y algunas iniciativas locales están por ultimarse.
Por otro lado, es apropiado que el sector eléctrico atienda el llamado de atención, no sólo para tener iniciativas para la formación de comunidades energéticas, sino para enfrentar el desafío de determinar las tecnologías que aseguren la justiciaambiental para esas mismas comunidades.
Finalmente, se plantean algunas necesidades para abordar directamente un modelo de éxito para una comunidad energética y las oportunidades que existen en Colombia para aprovechar relacionadas con las capacidades que ofrece el territorio

Authors: M Tolera , OA Bikila
Published: July 2024

Community development is about placing individuals at the centre of the development process and helping them realize their potential. Community Development Workers (CDWs) are community-based resource persons who collaborate with other community activists to help fellow community members. The objective of this study is to assess factors that challenge the roles of CDWs. The study used both quantitative and qualitative study designs. Data were gathered through questionnaires, in-depth interviews and personal observation. The collected data was analyzed using mixed method of analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data. The study revealed that CDWs have proved to be key and important local actors and facilitators in bringing about attitudinal change among the communities they work with, are attracting the trust and confidence of the people they work with, have revitalized local social organizations as instruments of development, have tabled the agendas of the socially marginalized community groups, working on the principle of matching community inputs with resources, and their role approved to be well aligned with Development Policy as it fosters ‘community participation, promotes self-reliance, and is strategically fasten at the grass roots level. The study concludes that CDWs are facing challenges in contextualizing their role and institutional factors are discovered to be impeding the roles of CDWs. The study recommends a multi-disciplinary research involving educationalists, and social anthropologists could perhaps develop a more thorough of investigation and be more conclusive on the factors that influence CDWs performance initiated by this research.
Factors Affecting Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia: A Case Series Study
Authors: VC Hughes
Published: July 2024

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a condition that can affect patients who are exposed to heparin across a variety of disease states. A case series study was conducted to evaluate the effect of patient age, unfractionated heparin dose and nadir platelet count on the 4T score in a multiple regression analysis. The number of cases selected was ten. The regression analysis showed that patient age and nadir platelet count were statistically significant (P<.05) and the R-squared value was 0.7. A Pearson correlation coefficient analysis also revealed a low positive correlation between heparin dose and platelet count (r = 0.3). These findings add to the body of knowledge encompassing unfractionated heparin which remains a widely used anticoagulant for patients with thrombotic disease and other conditions and procedures. Future studies should continue to evaluate factors that affect HIT including outcomes between Type I and Type II HIT.
Tardive Dyskinesia: Addressing the Challenges of an Iatrogenic Movement Disorder
Authors: M Alam , K Abbas , N Usmani , M Mustafa
Published: July 2024

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a potentially irreversible and disabling iatrogenic movement disorder characterized by involuntary, repetitive movements, predominantly affecting the orofacial region, trunk, and limbs. This severe adverse effect is associated with prolonged exposure to dopamine receptor blocking agents, particularly antipsychotic medications used in the treatment of psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The pathophysiology of TD involves complex interactions between dopaminergic dysregulation, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and neuronal degeneration. Genetic factors, including variations in dopamine receptor genes, antioxidant pathways, and neuronal plasticity-related genes, contribute to individual susceptibility and symptom severity. While preventive measures, such as judicious use of antipsychotics and regular monitoring, remain the most effective strategies, once TD develops, management becomes challenging. Current pharmacological interventions, including vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitors, antioxidants, and alternative antipsychotics, provide symptomatic relief but do not consistently reverse the underlying pathology. Non-pharmacological approaches, such as deep brain stimulation, botulinum toxin injections, and rehabilitative therapies, can complement pharmacological interventions and improve functional outcomes and quality of life. Ongoing research efforts aim to elucidate the complex molecular mechanisms underlying TD and develop more targeted and personalized therapeutic strategies.

Authors: FA Shaltout
Published: July 2024

The environmental pollution Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, the polychlorinated dibenzofurans PCDD/F and the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) contamination in the food from the animal origin were caused by the industrially produced feed from the free range chicken, sheep, and beef. To elucidate the entry of the the environmental pollution polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and the Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans PCDD/Fs in the food related to the environmental contamination. The food products from the farm animals are sensitive to the environmental pollution dioxin/ polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) exposure, the suckling calves and the laying hens housed outdoor at the soil concentrations that have previously been considered as safe. In the beef/veal when the soil is contaminated. The eggs/ the broiler, this can occur. The eggs consumer's especially the young children can easily exceed the health-based guidance values, the tolerable daily intake. The soil, the chicken eggs exposure pathway is probably the most sensitive route for the human exposure to both the environmental pollution dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls and the PCDD/Fs from the soil and needs to be considered for the soil guidelines. The calves from the suckler cow herds are the most prone to the impacts of the dlPCB contamination due to the excretion/accumulation via the milk. The environmental pollution polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) (and the PCDD/F) intake for the free-range cattle stems from the feed and the soil. The sources for the PCDD/Fs and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) relevant to the environmental contamination in polychlorinated biphenyls respect to the food safety. It also includes the considerations on the assessment of the emerging persistent organic pollutants. The major sources of the environmental pollution PCDD/F and the dl-PCB contamination of the food of the animal origin are the soils contaminated from the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and the PCDD/F releases; the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) emitted from the buildings and the constructions; the environmental pollution polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) present at the farms. The impacted areas need to be assessed with the respect to the potential contamination of the food producing animals. The livestock management techniques can reduce the exposure to the environmental pollution PCDD/Fs and the environmental pollution polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The control and the reduction measures are recommended for the emission sources and the new listed and the emerging persistent organic pollutants to ensure the food safety.

Authors: DF Neff , S Imes , C Cook
Published: July 2024

This study explored the first impressions of bedside nurses from the patient perspective, cultivating a grounded theory process. A qualitative grounded theory design emphasizing constructivist underpinnings was used. Individual interviews were conducted with 20 adult inpatients on Medical-Surgical units at a community hospital in the Midwestern United States. Five major themes emerged: 1) demeanor is the prevailing characteristic of the first impression 2) nonverbal communication is the most important influence in first impression formation, 3) first impressions are instantaneous, 4) first impressions spark the direction of the nurse-patient relationship, 5) first impressions are powerful. Findings reveal that first impressions of nurses have a significant impact on the nurse-patient relationship and the patient’s hospital experience. A unique conceptual model and process was created based on these findings, illustrating the significance of the first impression on the nurse-patient relationship and the patient’s perception of their care. Recognizing the influence of first impressions of nurses could provide a new innovative approach to impact the nurse-patient relationship, the patient’s experience and perceptions of their care, as well as patient satisfaction. First impressions are largely underestimated in nursing yet they have important implications for nurses, nurse educators, and nursing leadership.

Published: July 2024

Bruxism is a type of neuro-psychic disease that influences the activity of the mandible and distorts multiple structures of the face and mouth muscles. This study goes through the complicated relationship between bruxism, stress, and aggression. The aim is to interpret the extensiveness of these three factors and evaluate the scientific perception of this. Psychological discomfort may manifest subtly as bruxism. A person having Bruxism is a spontaneous activity with the problem of clenching and grinding of teeth. It is a pervasive oral parafunctional activity. It accumulates growing recognition because of its complex connection with several serious psychological disorders. Bruxism is a type of neuro-psychic disease that influences the activity of the mandible and distorts multiple structures of the face and mouth muscles. According to previous studies, most bruxism is the result of suppressed stress which can occur due to lifestyle, and career pressure. People with severe anger issues can show signs of bruxism as a result of tension build-up in their oral cavity. As it is studied by various research, people show stages of bruxism in various stages of life depending on the situation they are struggling with. To shed light on the intricate interactions between stress, aggression, and oral habits, this review investigates the prevalence of bruxism in forensic contexts. We examine the body of research to clarify the possible applications of bruxism in forensic contexts, highlighting its importance in comprehending psychological profiles and behavioural patterns.

Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Hotsur Oksana , Sporniak Dmytro ,   The Ukrainians Media, Ukrainian Media Initiative
Published: July 2024

In this scientific research, attention is paid to the functioning of the Ukrainian and Polish blogospheres.The popular science blogs of those blogospheres with the widest audience are considered. The problem is urgent, since blogs on various platforms are not only informative or entertaining, but also educational.It is already possible to receive educational, scientific and cognitive information from blogs. In fact, popular science blogs function as a relatively free educational resource that operates parallel to government and commercial institutions. Based on the theoretical developments of Ukrainian scientists, we can say that blogs, in which you can use audiovisual and textual components, are the most convenient means of creating popular scientific content. Actually, this meets the demands of the modern consumer of information. The novelty of the article lies inrevealing the specifics and trends of the functioning of popular science blogs and highlighting the features of blogs on the YouTube platform, which have audiovisual and textual capabilities for creating popular science content. Based on the ranking and content analysis, it was found that the most popular are historical topics, followed by natural sciences, astrology, medicine and psychology. In particular, the top five popular Ukrainian blogs include: «Imeni T.H. Shevchenka (Named after T. H. Shevchenko)», «Istoriia bez mifiv (History without myths)», «Kliatyyratsionalist (Damn rationalist)», «WAS: Populiarnaistoriia (WAS: Popular history)», «Interesting science». And among Polish popular science blogs, «Historia bez cenzury», «SciFun», «emce», «Uwaga! NaukowyBełkot», «Polimaty». On the basis of the analyzed popular science blogs, the following trends have been identified: the presentation of material in the blogs has features of the author’s journalistic programs; use of historical methods of science; use of emotionally colored vocabulary, subjective judgments and other artistic techniques in materials (in their titles, on the covers or in the videos themselves); features of citation of sources of information used in a blog differ in blogs on different subjects (while all the blogs note their sources, their mention specifically in the description of the video is mostly absent in materials on historical subjects, but present in the rest of the studied blogs).

مع انتشار التقنيات الالكترونية في كل مجالات الحياة وبما يمتلك من مزايا في الدقة والسرعة في الأداء. ظهرت الحكومة الالكترونية والأسواق الالكترونية وباتت التعاملات الالكترونية سائدة في مختلف القطاعات. إذن إستخدام الوسائل الالكترونية في إجراءات التقاضي في كافة مراحل التقاضي أصبحت أمرا ممكناً. وبما أن السلطة القضائية يعد من اهم مظاهر سيادة الدولة فأن الدراسة في هذا المجال لها أهمية قصوى، وهذا السبب كان الدافع في الاختيار. القضاء الالكتروني هو نظام معلوماتي يتم من خلاله إجراء كل مراحل التقاضي عن طريق المحكمة الالكترونية وذلك بواسطة تقنيات حديثة دقيقة في أدائها وسريعة في التحري عن الالة الجنائية والفصل في الدعاوي بكافة أنواعها، إلا ان الاعتماد الكلي على نظام التقاضي الالكتروني يثير قضايا جوهرية ومنها يتعلق بالدعم التشريعي لهذا النظام الجديد وضمان الحفاظ على العدالة وتضمين حقوق كافة الأطراف ومنها وجود الشك حول مدى استجابتها لقواعد العدل والحفاظ على كل المبادئ الأساسية للتقاضي.

Enhancing building energy efficiency and incorporating renewable energy technologies are crucial for combating climate change and promoting sustainability. This study employed a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the influence of various parameters on building costs and energy consumption. Standardized Regression Coefficients (SRC) were used to measure the sensitivity of each variable. The type of glass, wall construction, window-to-wall ratios, and shading elements were identified as having the most significant impact on building costs and electricity usage. SRC values provided a numerical representation of the strength and direction of the relationship between these factors and the output variables. Furthermore, the study quantified the energy savings achieved through optimization methods. The data indicated an average reduction in consumption of 22%, with variations between 21% and 23% across different floors. These results highlighted the effectiveness of optimizing variables and applying energy-efficient design principles. The findings of this investigation enhance our understanding of the role of sensitivity analysis in optimizing building energy efficiency. They can serve as a reference for making decisions on integrating renewable energy technologies into buildings and designing them. These strategies can help reduce environmental impact, promote sustainable construction practices, and achieve significant energy savings.
