Authors: Jassem Kadhim Mothana , Ahmed Ebrahiem Sameera
Published: July 2022

In this research, the concentration of radon gas was calculated in the book store rooms of schools in Diyala Governorate, it was calculated by Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTDS) when the detector (CR-39) was used, the detector was placed and suspended at a distance of 160 cm from the surface of the earth, and the detector was exposed for 30 days to record alpha tracks. The results of radon concentration showed that the highest concentration percentage was found in (Eishtar) school, which was equal to (84.896) Bq/m3, while the lowest value was recorded in (Habhib) school, which was equal to (11.242) Bq/m3, where the concentration rate was equal to (28.158) Bq/m3. When we compared our results with the global results, we found that the calculated radon concentrations are much less than the internationally permissible limits recorded by (ICRP), which were in the range of (200-300) Bq/m3.

Authors: Salman jasim Husam , Abed saoud Shaimaa , A. J. Almuslamawy Haider
Published: July 2022

Background: Sinusitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the mucous membrane lining the airways. Chronic rhinosinusitis and acute rhinosinusitis are the two types. Rhinosinusitis is characterized by facial pain, congestion, and headache. Due to the widespread prevalence of sinusitis, there must be an evaluation of the case because the diagnoses are more serious in the advanced stages of the disease and impact the outcome of care. Objectives: The objective of this study was to conduct a literature evaluation of chronic and acute rhinosinusitis, risk factors, symptoms and signs of sinusitis, diagnostic, sinusitis treatment, and antibiotic treatment, as well as new databases. Conclusion: Rhinosinusitis diagnosis is based on physician experience, with the history and examination serving as the foundation. It is just as vital to identify the underlying pathogen as it is to understand the patient's comorbidities to develop a proper treatment approach and minimize unwanted consequences.

Published: July 2022

This work is concerned with studying the optimal classical continuous control quaternary vector problem. It is consisted of; the quaternary nonlinear hyperbolic boundary value problem and the cost functional. At first, the weak form of the quaternary nonlinear hyperbolic boundary value problem is obtained. Then under suitable hypotheses, the existence theorem of a unique state quaternary vector solution for the weak form where the classical continuous control quaternary vector is considered known is stated and demonstrated by employing the method of Galerkin and the compactness theorem. In addition, the continuity operator between the state quaternary vector solution of the weak form and the corresponding classical continuous control quaternary vector is demonstrated in three different infinite dimensional spaces (Hilbert spaces). Furthermore, with suitable hypotheses, the existence theorem of an optimal classical continuous control quaternary vector dominated by the weak form of the quaternary nonlinear hyperbolic boundary value problem is stated and demonstrated.

Authors: ROSENTRETER VILLARROEL KAREN
Published: July 2022

Las prácticas textiles han adquirido una fuerte implicación en los procesos sociales propios de los lugares donde se desarrollan. Numerosos estudios muestran que esta orientación predominante en la historia del arte textil ha sido protagonizada principalmente por el trabajo colectivo de mujeres. En esta investigación se analizan los procesos por los que han pasado las arpillera para ser categorizadas como obras de arte, teniendo en cuenta sus características particulares y su constante acercamiento a las prácticas artesanales, lo que genera una nebulosa en el camino que legitima su entrada al mundo del arte. Para llevar a cabo este objetivo, se revisaron diferentes fuentes bibliográficas con el fin de comprender cómo se definen las arpilleras al momento de escribir sobre ellas. Se cree que las últimas exposiciones y colecciones de arpillera en instituciones de renombre artístico, podrían generar un incremento en su reconocimiento. En razón de lo mismo, se consideraron los mecanismos de validación a través de diferentes mediadores e investigadores que estarían impulsando la entrada de las arpilleras al campo artístico. Finalmente, se tendrá en cuenta cuáles son los grupos de arpilleras que se encuentran actualmente activos y cómo se posicionan dentro de lo que se conoce como artivismo textil. Este artículo sostiene que las arpilleras están próximas al sistema tradicional de valoración del arte, pero también tienen concordancia con mundos de lo no artístico, lo que acaba por otorgarles distintas validaciones. Por lo anterior, su proceso de artificación es una discusión que no está completamente resuelta.

In 2012−2013, some experience in the use of modern prefabricated three-layer reinforced concrete panels in cottage construction is obtained. This experience has revealed some shortcomings of such panels using on the building site and the need to modernize their production technology. In addition, improvements in joint construction and the use of aggregate concrete from recycled concrete scrap are relevant. The purpose of the article is to develop constructive solutions for low-rise buildings using multilayer reinforced concrete panels with effective insulation and to determine directions for further modernization of the developed structures. Conclusions. The developed constructive solutions for low-rise construction of houses using multilayer reinforced concrete panels with effective insulation are modern and exceed the standards for heat saving and are relevant today given the cost of energy. The developed constructive solutions of wall panels together with interpanel seams construction from the point of view of thermal homogeneity are the most homogeneous today in comparison with analogs. The panel joints construction is considered taking into account the conditions of durability and thermal conductivity. The directions of the developed constructions further modernization for wall panels and floor slabs are defined. The developed constructive solutions for panel house-building and factory production of wall panels and floor slabs reduce the time and cost of construction.

Decision-making in the Settlement of Local Election Dispute at the Constitutional Court is based on the conviction of the justices after examining evidence submitted by the parties. Meanwhile, the law has limited the authority of the Court which is simply to rule on the result of vote count in the local election. Therefore, through interpretation, the Court has created new norms in its decision concerning local election.In some of its decisions, the Court broadened its authority in the settlement of local election dispute which is to include the process of the election. The dictum of the decision does not merely follow what is stated in the law. There is compatibility in the justices’ conviction based on interpretation done by the justices regarding   the authority of the Court in deciding Local Election Dispute and in the choice of dictum of the decision which is different from what has been stated by the law.

Published: July 2022

In patients with medically refractory heart failure or cardiogenic shock, both temporary and durable mechanical circulatory support devices can be used to support cardiac circulation. Both transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) are widely available, relatively noninvasive, and avoid radiation exposure. Thus, echocardiography is an invaluable tool that provides vital information aiding in preprocedure evaluation, placement, management, and weaning of cardiac assist devices. The purpose of this article is to review the utility of both TTE and TEE in managing patients with cardiac assist devices.
Incorporating Gravity into the Path Integral of Quantum Mechanics Using the Thermodynamics of Spacetime
Authors: Biehle Garrett , Ellgen Clifford , Sabra Bassem , Zając Sebastian
Published: July 2022

We use principles from the thermodynamics of spacetime to modify the path integral of quantum mechanics. Entropy of the vacuum is interpreted as microstates that correspond to the measure of the path integral. The result is a contribution to the action that is proportional to the Einstein-Hilbert action. Because the contribution is real, not imaginary, it is likely to result in convergence in many cases. Paths that minimize the Einstein-Hilbert action make the largest contribution to the path integral, implying that the maximum likelihood paths are solutions of the Einstein equation.
Sustainable agriculture as a topic of biology education for sustainable development
Authors: Kunze Rebecca , Büssing Alexander Georg
Published: July 2022

Sustainable agriculture is connected to many Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2, 6, 12, 13, 15) and encompasses different biological processes and procedures that are networked with one another. At the same time, sustainable agriculture links the ecological, social, and economic dimension of sustainability. In contrast to this role of sustainable agriculture, there is only scarce understanding about how students perceive these connections, particularly from the perspective of biology education. Within the present study, we used qualitative interviews to investigate (1) students’ understanding of biological components of sustainable agriculture, (2) their evaluation of the ecological, economic, and social dimensions of these components, and (3) their personal connection towards sustainable agriculture. The students from the German 10th grade reported close links especially of climate change to sustainable agriculture, but also mentioned issues of animal husbandry and biodiversity. Sustainable agriculture in its dimensions is basically perceived as an improvement compared to the current agriculture, with a focus on the ecological dimension. The students’ consumer behaviour and the aspect of health were the most frequently mentioned aspects in terms of sustainable agriculture referring to their own life. The results give insight into possible areas for the further development of educational materials and further integration of sustainable agriculture as a topic for biology education for sustainable development.
Differences amongst estimates of the UK problem gambling prevalence rate are partly due to a methodological artefact
Authors: Newall Philip Warren Stirling , Weiss-Cohen Leonardo , Thoma Volker , Ayton Peter
Published: July 2022

For over 30 years, prevalence surveys have been the principal methodology for measuring the distribution of gambling-related harm in a population (Volberg, 2004), and have informed debates around whether existing harm reduction efforts are working, both in the academic literature (Shaffer et al., 2004) and in the news (Davies, 2022). Despite this longevity, prevalence surveys have been subject to critical perspectives throughout their use (Doughney, 2007; Nadler, 1985; Roberts et al., 2022; Young, 2013). Here we note that current estimated UK prevalence rates reported in 2022 vary from 0.2% (Gambling Commission, 2022) to 2.8% (Gunstone et al., 2022), which is a level of uncertainty. Previous work suggests that the mode of conducting these surveys can cause some differences, with online rates being higher than in-person (Sturgis & Kuha, 2022), and mobile phone rates being higher than landline (Dowling et al., 2016). This is likely responsible for part of the differential, with the 0.2% rate being from a phone survey and the 2.8% rate being from an online survey. Here we show how part of this differential is due to another methodological artefact: the choice of problem gambling screener.

Published: July 2022

Math performance is negatively related to math anxiety (MA), though MA may impact certain math skills more than others. We investigated whether the relation between MA and math performance is affected by task features, such as number type (e.g., fractions, whole numbers, percentages), number format (symbolic vs. non-symbolic), and ratio component size (small vs. large). Across two large-scale studies (combined N = 3,822), the MA-performance relation was strongest for large whole numbers and fractions, and stronger for symbolic than non-symbolic fractions. The MA-performance relation was also stronger for smaller relative to larger components, and MA relating to specific number types may be a better predictor of performance than general MA for certain tasks. The relation between MA and estimation performance changes depending on task features, which suggests that MA may relate to certain math skills more than others, which may have implications for how people reason with numerical information and may inform future interventions.
Examining Individual Differences in Personality Trait Changes After Negative Life Events
Authors: Haehner Peter , Bleidorn Wiebke , Hopwood Christopher James
Published: July 2022

Personality traits can change throughout the entire life span, but people differ in their personality trait changes. To better understand individual differences in personality changes, we examined personal (personality functioning), environmental (environmental changes), and event-related moderators (e.g., perceived event characteristics) of personality trait changes. Therefore, we used sample of 1,076 participants who experienced a negative life event in the last 5 weeks and assessed their personality traits at five measurement occasions over 6 months. Employing preregistered multilevel lasso estimation, we did not find any significant effects. While exploratory analyses generally confirmed this conclusion, they also identified some effects that might being worth to be considered in future research (e.g., perceived impact and perceived social status changes were associated with changes in agreeableness after experiencing a relationship breakup). In total, our moderators explained less than 2% of variance in personality traits. Nonetheless, our study has several important implications for future research on individual differences in personality change. For example, future research should consider personal, environmental, and event-related moderators, use different analytical methods, and rely on highly powered samples to detect very small effects.
Virtually in Love: The Role of Anthropomorphism in Virtual Romantic Relationships
Authors: Koike Mayu , Loughnan Steve , Stanton Sarah C. E.
Published: July 2022

Romantic relationships are a cornerstone of human nature. Today, these relationships can potentially be fulfilled by virtual agents. Although previous psychological research has examined how human needs can be met by anthropomorphized agents, it has neglected virtual romantic relationships. This paper introduces the concept of romantic anthropomorphism (i.e., giving a non-human agent human-like characteristics in a romantic context) to help understand virtual romance. In three lab studies, we used romantic video games (RVGs) to examine how romantic anthropomorphism predicts relationship authenticity, desire for real-world relationship, and mood (Studies 1A, 1B, and 2) as well as real-world interpersonal behaviour (Study 2). Study 1A revealed that romantic anthropomorphism of a virtual agent predicted desire for a real-world relationship with the virtual agent and greater positive affect via feeling that the relationship built with the virtual agent was authentic. Study 1B replicated these results using a larger sample and a different RVG. Study 2 replicated these results, but revealed that playing RVGs failed to predict real-world behaviour in a subsequent interaction with a human confederate. This research identifies a unique way that people find connection in the modern world and provides novel insight into the fields of anthropomorphism, virtual interactions, and relationship science.
The Effects of Emotions on False Memory: Emotion Induction Before and After Encoding
Authors: Ayyıldız Mervenur
Published: July 2022

The importance of emotions on false memories have been studied for several years. With studies examining brain activities, it is possible to see which parts of the brain are activated in memory processes and the activities that cause false memory. It has been observed that different emotions have different effects depending on the encoding and retrieval stages. Timing, the content of both the emotion and the memory, and the intensity of the emotion are some of the factors that differentiate the effects. Therefore, it can be deduced that there is no definite cause and effect relationship between emotions and memories.

Published: July 2022

A field experiment was laid out in split-plot design with sowing date in the main plot and varieties in the sub-plot to determine the effects of sowing dates on growth, yield and oil content of rapeseed varieties. Four sowing dates 15 days apart set on October 13th, 28th, November 12th and 27th and four rapeseed varieties (Unnati, Preeti, Pragati and Local landrace) were used. The results revealed that the highest grain yield and oil content was obtained from the October 28th sowing date and it was statistically different from all other dates of sowing. On average, oil content was decreased by 5.75% and seed yield by 0.65 t/ha for every fortnight delay in sowing from October 28th sowing date. Highest yield and oil content was obtained from variety Preeti and it was statistically different from all other three varieties. Variety Preeti was the best yielding variety for October sowing date while variety Unnati was the best for November sowing date. Preeti is recommended to be sown on October 28th in middle terai area for optimum yield but under late sown condition, Unnati is preferred for obtaining the optimum yield.

There is a need to increase the yield potential of barley by utilizing improved cultivars. So, the present study was done to assess the performance of barley genotypes for phenological and yield attributing traits. A field study was carried out at Lumle, Kaski in Nepal involving seven barley genotypes during two growing seasons in 2018/2019 and 2019/2020, employing RCB design replicated three times. The results, combined for the years, showed significant differences for all traits except effective tillers/m2 and thousand grains weight. The grain yield was highest for B86122-1-0K-3 (2.756 t/ha and was at par with the genotypes Xveola-28 (2.411 t/ha) and B90K-024-1-1-2-0K (2.350 t/ha) and significantly higher than the Bonus (standard check) (1.852 t/ha). These superior genotypes should be further evaluated at on-station and on-farm conditions of western hills of Nepal so that low and stagnating barley yield in Nepal can be improved

Published: July 2022

There is continuum of agricultural production systems between highly agrochemical intensive farming and pure organic system. The current certification system in Nepal involve two levels – organic and good agriculture practice (GAP). Other middle-way alternatives for safe food like traditional and pesticide-free systems have not been considered for certification. This paper analyses various safe-food production regimes and explore potential for integrated multi-label food-safety certification system. Taking four typologies with varied levels of food safety i.e. traditional, good agriculture practice (GAP), pesticide-free and organic products as alternatives to input-intensive production systems, this paper concludes that the integrated multi-label food safety certification system would provide choice for consumers to make price and food-safety trade-off. Labelled safer food alternatives would enable consumers to choose and pay for their safe-food need and increase consumption of safer food contributing to sustainable growth of agriculture sector

A representação histórica da Estrada de Ferro Madeira Mamoré e a recepção da obra A Ferrovia do Diabo na imprensa carioca e paulista nos anos de 1960 e 1970
Authors: Pacheco Alexandre , Lima Camila Savenhago de
Published: July 2022

Este artigo se encarrega de analisar o impacto que a obra A Ferrovia do Diabo, de Manoel Rodrigues Ferreira, teve na construção de uma nova representação histórica da Estrada de Ferro Madeira Mamoré, nos anos de 1960 e 1970, através da análise de críticas em artigos de jornais cariocas e paulistas que recepcionaram o livro de Rodrigues Ferreira. A fundamentação teórica levou em conta os estudos da recepção do texto impresso em nossa contemporaneidade, os estudos sobre a crítica jornalista no século XX, como também o uso do conceito de representação de Roger Chartier. Os resultados da pesquisa indicaram que a obra A Ferrovia do Diabo, a partir dos anos de 1970, reimprimiu no imaginário da crítica jornalística a representação da Madeira Mamoré como uma ferrovia trágica, sombria e melancólica.

Published: July 2022

Wells drilling process in fractured-bedrock aquifers is a difficult task. Extreme variations in lithology and structure features, as well productive water zones sited at preferential points make geological and geophysical investigations difficult. To contribute to the understanding of the process of groundwater zones occurrence in fractured-bedrock aquifers, this paper develops a drilling prospective model by using regression analysis, whose parameters were calibrated according to the photogeological and cartographic analysis of 113 drilling points in the states of Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, and Ceará. The effectiveness of the resulting model was assessed through a sample of 43 additional drillings, which were carried out aiming at the distribution of water to the communities in the semiarid region of Brazil. The obtained results indicate the model as an important tool in the drilling process, with direct implications on the logistics costs of water well site location and consequent attendance to the population that needs the water.
The Development of an IoT-based Indoor Air Monitoring System Towards Smart Energy Efficient Classroom

Published: July 2022

Indoor air quality has become a crucial issue, specifically during COVID 19 pandemic. The good indoor air quality will lead to occupants’ comfort condition, thus affecting their productivity. Indoor air temperature and relative humidity are two essential components of thermal comfort. This paper presents the development of a temperature and relative humidity monitoring system for the classroom using the Internet of Things (IoT). This system consists of three main components: logger nodes, a gateway logger, and an interconnected cloud server. The logger node (ESP8266 / ESP32 microcontroller and DHT22 sensor) is a device at the edge of the IoT system and is placed at the monitoring location. The logger gateway is built on a Raspberry Pi 4, which serves as an intermediate server. It receives periodic data (temperature and humidity) from the logger nodes through the publish-subscribe MQTT protocol and sends it to the MongoDB Atlas cloud database. The logger gateway saves all received logs into the SQLite database as temporary local storage and then uploads the data to the MongoDB Atlas cloud at a predefined interval. The MongoDB data is then displayed on a monitoring dashboard using MongoDB charts. The logger node with the DHT22 sensor has been adjusted using a linear model and successfully tested to monitor indoor and outdoor air conditions with satisfactory results. The recorded data has also been successfully modeled using the Gaussian Mixture Model and a simple Fuzzy model. These models can capture the dynamic of air condition in the room and predict the state of the cooling system.

A green building is a building wherein planning, construction, operation until the maintenance reduces the negative impacts, such as efficient use of energy, water, and other resources, maintaining the excellent quality of the building, and considering the quality of life of occupants. Good environmental damage in the building will affect the health, comfort and, safety of the occupants' lives. Therefore, it takes green buildings concept for buildings where people do activities in a home, an office, a school, a hospital, or a community center. To implement the green building concept, the building needs a monitoring system to monitor the quality of its environment. This research aim is to design sensor systems to monitor the building environment. The parameters monitored are temperature, humidity, illuminance, and noise intensity. The sensor system needs to the integrated with microcontroller and Blynk applications. The sensor system obtains the environment parameter. The accuracy rating for the temperature sensor is 94.41%, the humidity sensor is 93.53%, the light sensor is 91.26%, and the sound sensor is 97.13%. Blynk's warning system can make it easier for users to monitor the environment of a building.
John Paul II – the Pope of the Family
Authors: Góralski Wojciech
Published: July 2022

Karol Wojtyła, from the very beginning of his episcopal ministry, expressed the conviction that marriage and family are among the most valuable assets of mankind. No wonder that the issues of these two institutions (closely related to each other) remained at the center of his attention as pope. His pastoral concern for marriage and family, as well as his great contribution to promoting them, earned him the title of “Pope of the Family.” This was confirmed by Pope Francis on April 27, 2014 during the canonization of John Paul II. The activity of the Polish Pope in the service of marriage and family covered a wide spectrum: legislation, education and the organizational and administrative sphere. This commitment of the great Legislator, Teacher and Shepherd, lasting nearly 27 years, significantly enriched the existing treasury of the Church in such a socially important field. The testimony of the tireless successor of St. Peter, who recognized that “the family is the cradle of life and love, where man is born and grows” and that “the mainstream of the civilization of love flows through the family.”
Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments and the Stratification of Powers
Authors: Bogucki Olgierd
Published: July 2022

The subject of the article is the idea of unconstitutional constitutional amendments. The essay does not concern any specific legal order but takes the perspective of a general theory/philosophy of law. The study is divided into two parts. The first part briefly describes the theory and practice of applying the idea of unconstitutional constitutional amendments. The second part reveals and analyzes the basic assumptions of the theory of unconstitutional constitutional amendments: “the assumption of the stratification of powers” and “the essentialist assumption.” As a result of the analysis, it is concluded that on the grounds of democracy and constitutionalism the inadmissibility of amendments to the constitution should be linked not to the difference between the establishment of the constitution and its amendment, but to the difference between the degree of democratic legitimacy of the indicated law-making activities. Therefore, the article also formulates a postulate that the admissibility of declaring the unconstitutionality of constitutional amendments should be limited to cases where the amendments were adopted in a procedure with an evidently lower degree of democratic legitimacy.

Published: July 2022

All clergy have the special canonical obligation to show reverence and obedience to their ordinary and the pope. They bind themselves to this promise freely and publicly during their diaconal or priestly ordination. The ecclesiastical legislator gave the liturgical ceremony a normative form in can. 273 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law. In this paper, the author presents the sources of the canon in question, presents a canonical analysis, places it into canonical context, and defines individual terms according to how the ecclesiastical legislator understood them.
