Authors: Sklyarenko Grigory Yu. , Shehurdin Georgy R.
Published: April 2024

Thermal fields of natural and anthropotechnogenic origin are an integral part of the urban habitat, which influences the functioning of its components, as well as determines the conditions of existence of living organisms including humans. Settlements act as areas of formation of extensive temperature anomalies, mainly positive ones, known as urban heat island. This phenomenon was discovered more than 200 years ago and is currently being investigated in detail. However, the study of smaller anomalies - neighbourhood-scaled and local - is also a subject of scientific and practical interest. These heterogeneities in the distribution of thermal energy are caused by the presence or functioning of individual objects, and therefore, on the one hand, have a direct impact on the state of the environment and human living conditions, and on the other hand, are a promising area for the development of environmental engineering and settlement rational arrangement. As part of the conducted research, the main patterns of spatial distribution of the Earth's surface temperature within the Rostov-on-Don city district were identified, as well as the areas of formation of anomalies of local and neighbourhood scale and objects and processes contributing to their formation were identified. The results and conclusions can be used for further study of ecological and geophysical features of urban landscapes, and also have an applied value in determining the direction and consequences of the impact of the advancement of specific types of urban development of the territory.
Intertekstualność i gatunkowość jako klucz interpretacyjny filmu „Trzy kolory. Biały” Krzysztofa Kieślowskiego
Authors: Fiołek-Lubczyńska Bogumiła
Published: April 2024

W artykule tłumaczy się pojęcia typu: intertekstualność i gatunkowość filmu. Te pojęcia umożliwiają interpretację autorskiego filmu Trzy kolory. Biały Kieślowskiego. Odbiór filmu z perspektywy intertekstualnej pozwala wskazać na jego powinowactwa z twórczością filmową Charliego Chaplina. Bohater Białego – Karol to analogiczna konstrukcja charakterologiczna i ikonograficzna bohaterów Chaplinowskich, w takich filmach jak Światła wielkiego miasta, Gorączka złota czy Brzdąc. Kieślowski bawi się w swoim filmie konwencjami gatunkowymi, dlatego właśnie gatunkowość stanowi kolejny klucz interpretacyjny filmu Trzy kolory. Biały. Jego struktura fabularna zbudowana jest z elementów przynależnych komedii, filmowi gangsterskiemu, kryminalnemu, ale również melodramatowi. Gra konwencjami, którą Kieślowski zastosował w Białym, pozwala zaklasyfikować jego film do twórczości o cechach postmodernistycznych.

Authors: Budiman A. , Nurhadi B. , Supratman H. , Rahman M.M. , Yanza Y.R. , Hernaman I.
Published: April 2024

Background: Peanut oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and plays an important role in human and animal health. PUFAs are generally undergo to the biohydrogenation (BH) process by the rumen microbes. The single-layer emulsion encapsulation has been used in sheep diet. However, a limited reference was found concerning double-layer techniques to protect the essential PUFAs from BH process in the rumen. Methods: EDLEPO was made with a matrix of peanut oil, whey protein isolate (WPI), microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and maltodextrin at 40: 2.5: 7.5: 55. The first layer was the binding of WPI with peanut oil and the second layer is the binding of WPI with MCC. Moreover, the in vitro experiment was designed with 5 treatments separated by CON group (0 g/kg EDLEPO) and experimental groups which are leveled by EDLEPO inclusion (25, 50, 75 and 100 g/kg levels of EDLEPO) in the buffered sheep’s rumen. Result: Increased levels of EDLEPO inclusion reduced rumen ammonia-N concentration (P less than 0.05) by a linear response. Hence, increased levels of EDLEPO inclusion increased rumen degradability rates expressed as IVDMD and IVOMD up to 12% and 9%, respectively, by a linear response (P less than 0.05). No significant differences were found between treatments on pH value, VFAs and total gas production. However, the increased levels of EDLEPO inclusion reduced CH4 concentration expressed as CH4/IVDMD and CH4/IVOMD up to 9% and 17% (P less than 0.05). It can be concluded that the EDLEPO inclusion in the diet increased in vitro rumen degradability rates with no negative effects on the rumen fermentation profile.

Published: April 2024

Objective: analytical investigation of the potential use of hemihydrate (CaSO4 · 0.5H2O) and dihydrate (CaSO4 · 2H2O) calcium sulfate — phosphogypsum — a waste in the production of mineral fertilizers, as a construction material for the construction of roads, soil structures, material for the restoration of roads in the areas of repair of utility networks, as well as unloading of developed landfills for the storage of waste from processing phosphorus ores of chemical enterprises operating in the Russian Federation. Methods: analysis of the current situation at landfills of industrial enterprises, analysis of the knowledge of the issue of utilization and processing of phosphogypsum, as well as analytical (calculation) assessment of the possibility of replacing bulk materials (sand, crushed stone) with phosphogypsum common in construction. Results: this article discusses issues related to the assessment of the possibility of using phosphogypsum with a decrease in its local concentration in the zones of its application, as well as with the use of waste stored at landfills for many years. The considered options for prospective use of the material, which make it possible not only to preserve, but also to increase the operational characteristics of roads and other soil structures, while eliminating the potentially harmful effect of the material during operation associated with its dusting during storage. Practical significance: analysis of the current situation indicates that due to the active production in the Russian Federation, a huge amount of waste from such production — phosphogypsum — accumulates on the territory of industrial enterprises engaged in the processing of phosphorus ores and landfills assigned to these enterprises. The annual utilization of phosphogypsum at such enterprises is estimated at hundreds of thousands and millions of tons — huge dumps are formed, which pose a danger both from the point of view of groundwater pollution and from the point of view of man-made safety. With such large volumes of concentrated storage, the volumes of substances entering the soil and groundwater may repeatedly exceed the permissible values, but at the same time, with a lower concentration, the ingress of these substances into the soil may not only not harm the environment, but also have a positive effect in terms of increasing yield. The use of waste from such production facilities in road construction will solve the problems associated with the disposal of phosphogypsum.

Published: April 2024

Os recursos hídricos são essenciais para a manutenção da vida e da dinâmica terrestre. Para entender as dinâmicas entre recursos hídricos e uso do solo em diferentes paisagens as análises espaciais são ferramentas valiosas. Uma das metodologias amplamente utilizadas é o Soil Conservation Service (SCS), que se baseia no coeficiente do Número da Curva (CN), dentre outros parâmetros. No entanto, o método e a estimativa do coeficiente CN foi desenvolvida para um contexto de paisagem específico nos Estados Unidos, e não é necessariamente adequada para outras áreas. Adaptar o coeficiente CN para o contexto do estado de Minas Gerais, pode auxiliar no estudo e caracterização da hidrologia nas paisagens do estado, contribuindo para representar recursos hídricos no contexto da paisagem.  Este trabalho estimou o CN tabulado pelo SCS e usando álgebra de mapas refinou o coeficiente para o contexto específico de Minas Gerais, com base em dados espaciais que estão diretamente relacionados à hidrodinâmica da região. Como resultado, foi criado um mapa de CN tabulado e um mapa de CN refinado adaptado para o estado de Minas Gerais, cujos dados foram validados com informações hidrológicas da bacia do Rio Doce. A estimativa de CN para valores altos indica locais de escoamento superficial alto e baixa infiltração. O CN tabelado acima de 80 representa 13 % da área total do estado de Minas Gerais. Já as estimativas para o CN refinado mostram que 40% da área total do estado possui CN acima 80. Valores do CN tabulado e refinado foram comparadas e validadas. Este estudo destaca a importância de adaptar as metodologias existentes às condições das paisagens locais contribuindo para dar subsídios para atingir metas globais como Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável ODS 6 (Garantir disponibilidade e manejo sustentável da água e saneamento para todos), ODS 11 (Tornar as cidades e os assentamentos humanos inclusivos, seguros, resilientes e sustentáveis) e ODS 15 (Proteger, recuperar e promover o uso sustentável dos ecossistemas terrestres, gerir de forma sustentável as florestas, combater a desertificação, deter e reverter a degradação da terra e deter a perda de biodiversidade.)
Time Evolution of Energy States
Authors: Oldani Richard
Published: April 2024

In our investigation of the time evolution of energy states Einstein’s interpretation from more than a century ago is found to have greater internal consistency than that of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. We choose to align more closely with his methods by abandoning the non-relativistic Hamiltonian method, which has been the standard for nearly a century, in favor of a relativistically correct Lagrangian method. Integral equations of motion for the absorption and emission of radiation are derived that underlie and anticipate the differentially motivated Schrödinger equation. This new interpretation applies to a large volume of experimental evidence of both classical and quantum mechanical origin. Among the examples discussed in support are Planck’s law describing black body radiation, matrix mechanics, the function of the simplest quantum mechanical system an electron cyclotron, chaos theory, and evolutionary biology.

Authors: Gao Miaowei , Li Zhongguo , Wang Qi , Fan Wenbin
Published: April 2024

Underwater image often exhibit detail blurring and color distortion due to light scattering, impurities, and other influences, obscuring essential textures and details. This presents a challenge for existing super-resolution techniques in identifying and extracting effective features, making high-quality reconstruction difficult. This research aims to innovate underwater image super-resolution technology to tackle this challenge. Initially, an underwater image degradation model was created by integrating random subsampling, Gaussian blur, mixed noise, and suspended particle simulation to generate a highly realistic synthetic dataset, thereby training the network to adapt to various degradation factors. Subsequently, to enhance the network's capability to extract key features, improvements were made based on the symmetrically structured Blind Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (BSRGAN) model architecture. An attention mechanism based on energy functions was introduced within the generator to assess the importance of each pixel, and a weighted fusion strategy of adversarial loss, reconstruction loss, and perceptual loss was utilized to improve the quality of image reconstruction. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieved significant improvements in Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Underwater Image Quality Measure (UIQM) by 0.85 dB and 0.19, respectively, significantly enhancing the visual perception quality and indicating its feasibility in super-resolution applications.

Published: April 2024

One of the industries with the fastest rate of growth is healthcare, and this industry's enormous data requires extensive cloud storage. The cloud may offer some protection, but there is no assurance that data owners can rely on it for refuge and privacy amenities. Therefore, it is essential to offer security and privacy protection. Increased customer satisfaction with security and privacy preservation is crucial since healthcare big data and its sources are stored in the cloud and contain increasingly private and sensitive information. However, maintaining privacy and security in an untrusted green cloud environment is difficult, thus the data owner should have complete data control. A new work SecPri-BGMPOP(security and privacy of Boost graph Convolutional Network -Pinpointing-Optimization Performance) is suggested that can offer a solution that involves several different steps in order to handle the numerous problems relating to security and protecting privacy. Initially Boost Graph Convolutional Network Clustering (BGCNC) algorithm, which reduces computational complexity in terms of time and memory measurements, is first applied to the input dataset to begin the clustering process. Second, enlarge by employing a piece of the magnifying bit string to generate a safe key, pinpointing based encryption avoids amplify leakage even if a rival or attacker decrypts the key or asymmetric encryption. Finally, to determine the accuracy of the method, an optimal key was created using a meta-heuristic algorithmic framework called Hybrid fragment horde bland lobo Optimization (HFHBLO). Our proposed method currently kept in a cloud environment, allowing analytics users to utilize it without risking their privacy or security.

Authors: Ke Zengming , Ma Lihui , Shen Nan
Published: April 2024

Revealing the spatial distribution mechanism of the coupling effect between soil water and salt is essential for managing saline-alkali farmland. This study utilized the multifractal method to analyze soil water and salt under varying water content levels in arid saline-alkali farmland. Soil samples were collected on the second (S1), fifth (S2), eighth (S3), eleventh (S4), and fourteenth (S5) days after a rainfall event. The findings showed that a significant decrease in soil water content, contrasting with an increase in soil salt content throughout the soil layers post-rainfall. As water content decreased, the spatial variability of soil water initially increased from S1-3 and then decreased, while the spatial variability of soil salt decreased. The spatial distribution between soil water and salt exhibited a high correlation at S3-4 (with relative water content of soil ranging from 0.52 to 0.75) due to their coupling effect. However, soil salt was unevenly leached by rainfall at high water content levels (S1-2) and precipitated at low water content levels (S5), resulting in low spatial variability correlations between soil water and salt. This study elucidated the coupling process of soil water and salt, identifying their spatiotemporal distribution mechanism in dryland agricultural areas.

The Role of Turkish TV Series in the Formation of Perception about Turkey and Turkish People: The Cases of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jordan and Kyrgyzstan
Authors: Hancığaz Erhan , Hülür Himmet
Published: April 2024

We can say that television still plays an important role in the area of visual media. TV series, commercials and entertainment programs occupy a large place in the daily life of viewers. In particular, the perception, attitude and, accordingly, attitude change in viewers resulting from television series is a phenomenon that gives rise to curiosity in researchers. Therefore, this study aims to measure the level of perception about Turkey and Turkish people in viewers created by Turkish TV series broadcast abroad. The main claim of our research is that Turkish TV series can lead to a country and nation perception in viewers, while the viewers might develop an interest in and affinity with Turkey and Turkish people. In the framework of these arguments, a fieldwork was conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jordan and Kyrgyzstan, which was the research universe of the present study. In the light of the data obtained, the perceptions of the viewers about the personality traits of Turkish people, their perceptions of Turkey's power, life in Turkey and Turkey's active role were influential on the wish to have an affinity with Turkey. Increased interest in Turkey was found to have resulted in increased wish to have an affinity with Turkish people and Turkey.

Introduction: Elder abuse often goes unreported and undetected. Older people may be ashamed, fearful or otherwise reticent to disclose abuse; and many health providers are not confident in asking about it. In the No More Shame study, we will evaluate a co-designed, multi-component intervention that aims to improve health providers’ recognition, response, and referral of elder abuse.
Methods: This is a single-blinded, pragmatic, cluster randomised controlled trial. Ten subacute hospital sites (i.e., clusters) across Australia will be allocated 1:1, stratified by state to a multi-component intervention comprising a training program for health providers, implementation of a screening tool and use of site champions, or no additional training or support. Outcomes will be collected at baseline, 4 and 9 months. Our co-primary outcomes are health providers’ knowledge of responding to elder abuse; and older people’s quality of life. We will include all inpatients at participating sites, aged 65+ (or aged 50+ if Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander), who are able to provide informed consent and all unit staff who provide direct care to older people; a sample size of at least 92 health providers and 612 older people will provide sufficient power for primary analyses.
Results: Recruitment will commence in October 2023.
Discussion: This will be one of the first trials in the world to evaluate a multi-component elder abuse intervention. If successful, it will provide the most robust evidence base to date for health providers to draw on to create a safe environment for reporting, response, and referral.

Background This qualitative study aimed to explore women's experiences and perceptions regarding barriers to accessing ultrasound scans at primary healthcare level.Method Altogether, four focus group discussions (FGDs) involving 36 pregnant women who had received prenatal care at facilities between February and September 2021 were conducted. Using a purposive sampling technique participants provided informed consent before data collection during guided FGDs.Result Thematic analysis of the data using NVivo 12 revealed recurring themes explaining underutilization of ultrasound scans at this level of healthcare. The study highlighted challenges faced by women at primary health care facilities, emphasizing the potential gaps in caregivers' ability to provide comprehensive counseling about the importance and safety of ultrasound scans in fetal growth monitoring. Addressing staff training and accountability emerged as essential areas requiring attention. Additionally, allocating more resources to alleviate financial burdens associated with accessing ultrasound services was a key recommendation.Conclusion In conclusion, this study revealed diverse barriers hindering women's access to ultrasound services at primary healthcare. It suggests targeted interventions focusing on staff training, improving facility support, and addressing financial constraints to enhance accessibility and utilization of ultrasound scans among pregnant women attending Primary Health Care facilities.

Background Older adults living with multiple long-term conditions (MLTC, also known as multimorbidity) and frailty are more likely to experience a deterioration in their health requiring specialist referral or hospital admission than individuals without these syndromes. However, this group of older people are underserved by research meaning that there is a limited evidence base for their care. This study therefore aimed 1) to determine if it is feasible to recruit and collect quantitative data to describe the health and lifestyle of older adults living with MLTC, frailty and a recent deterioration in health and 2) to assess if taking part in research is acceptable to this group of older adults.Methods Participants were approached and recruited for this study via an Older People’s Medicine Day Unit in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. The study took a mixed methods approach, involving quantitative and qualitative data collection. To determine the feasibility of carrying out research in this group, we quantified recruitment rate and collected data on the health and lifestyle, including diet and physical activity, of the participants. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were undertaken to assess acceptability. Two separate interviews were carried out focusing on involving older adults in research and the participants’ experiences of taking part in the research. Interviews were analysed using thematic analysis.Results Fifty patients were approached to participate in the study with twenty-nine (58%) successfully recruited. It was feasible to collect information to describe the health and lifestyle of these older adults who demonstrated very low levels of physical activity. Participants reported that taking part in the research was acceptable to them with interview analysis generating three themes 1) developing a meaningful partnership, 2) enabling factors to participation: research at home with flexible delivery and 3) social and psychological benefits of research participation.Conclusions It is feasible and acceptable to recruit and carry out research with this underserved group of older adults. Participants found taking part in this research to be acceptable and reported overall positive experiences of their involvement in the study and indicated that they would be willing to contribute to further research in the future.

To maintain normal functionality, it is necessary for a multicellular organism to generate robust responses to external temporal signals. However, the underlying mechanisms to coordinate the collective dynamics of cells remain poorly understood. Here we study the calcium activity of micropatterned biological neuron networks excited by periodic ATP stimuli. Combining quantitative experiments, physical and biological manipulation of cells, as well as mathematical modeling, we show that isolated cells in a network become more synchronized at longer period of stimuli through noise cancellation. However, slowly varying external signal also increases gap junction coupling between connected nodes in the network; and gap junction mediated communication may destroy network synchronization due to special nonlinear bifurcations exhibited by the excitable dynamics of neuronal cells. Based on our results, we propose that a biological neuron network supported by gap junctional communication encodes external temporal signals in its network dynamics. A sparely connected network approaches synchronization as input signal slows down, whereas a highly connected network enters dynamic frustration in the same situation.

Background
Aleutian disease (AD), caused by the Aleutian mink disease virus, is a significant health concern for mink, resulting in substantial economic losses for the mink industry. Although phenotypic selection of AD-resilient mink based on immune response and/or indicator traits is practiced by some mink farms, the genetic architecture of immune response and resilience to AD has not been widely explored. Thus, the objective of this study was to conduct the first genome-wide association studies (GWAS) analyses to identify genomic regions and genes associated with immune response and feed-intake-related resilience to AD in mink.
Methods
The genotypes and phenotypes, including two immune response traits measured by antigen-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA-G) and iodine agglutination test (IAT) and two feed-intake-related resilience traits measured by the daily variation in feed intake (Varf) and proportion of off-feed days (DOF), of 1,411 mink from an AD-positive farm was used in this study. The de-regressed breeding values were derived from the estimated breeding values for each trait and utilized as pseudo-phenotypes in the analyses.
Results
A total of 17, eight, and seven significant (false-discovery-rate-adjusted-p-value (q) <0.01) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were detected to be associated with ELISA-G, IAT, and DOF, respectively, but no significant SNP was detected for Varf. A total of 141 genes were annotated from the significant SNPs for ELISA-G, and three of them, MPIG6B, RUNX2, and C4A, might have important roles in immune-mediated responses to AD. Two (TNFRSF11Aand C4A) of the 44 genes annotated in IAT were found to be involved in the immune system process. In addition, 42 genes were annotated in DOF, and two of them, ADCY7 and CNDP2, were related to feed intake or appetite. A total of five significant (q<0.05) overrepresented gene ontology enrichment terms, which play important roles in the adaptive immune response or complement system, were detected for ELISA-G.
Conclusions
The significant SNPs and genes detected in this study help provide a better understanding of the genetic architecture underlying the immune response and resilience of mink to AD and the potential for improving the resilience of mink to AD using marker-assisted/genomic selection.
COVID-19 spreading prediction model based on a multi-head self-attention mechanism
Authors: Zhang Can , Sun GengXin
Published: April 2024

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most severe global health epidemics in recent decades. Its consequences have affected hundreds of millions of people in countries around the world because of the high contagiousness and mortality rate.
Results
To further improve the prediction accuracy of the long-term spreading trend of COVID-19, this paper proposes a hybrid neural network prediction model based on a bidirectional long short-term memory network (Bi-LSTM) combined with a multi-head self-attention mechanism. To achieve long-term prediction, this model combines multiple linear regression with the improved susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered (SEIR) model. The bidirectional long short-term memory network can mine important features of input data in both forward and backward directions, and the multi-head self-attention mechanism can capture different attention information to improve the expression ability of the model and help improve the prediction performance. The comparative analysis and prediction of multiple models are based on official real data.
Conclusion
The experimental results show that compared with the long short-term memory network (LSTM) and single chamber model, the proposed COVID-19 spreading model can achieve higher prediction accuracy.
