Con el propósito de evaluar la prevalencia de leucemia viral felina en gatos domésticos de la ciudad de Santo Domingo, Ecuador, se realizó una investigación de 47 gatos mayores de 6 meses, sanos o con signos patológicos, atendidos en Clínica Veterinaria SERVET. Se extrajo una muestra de sangre de 0,75 ml sobre la vena cefálica de cada paciente para el diagnóstico, a través de pruebas moleculares, las cuales fueron realizadas a partir del plasma obtenido mediante centrifugación. Para la determinación se utilizó un equipo termociclador Bioer LineGene 9600 Plus, se calculó la prevalencia general de la enfermedad y se determinó los factores de riesgo a través del análisis de contingencia; además se utilizó las pruebas de Chi-cuadrado y de Fisher, de acuerdo a la naturaleza de los datos. Los resultados demuestran que la prevalencia de FeLV en la ciudad de Santo Domingo fue de 68,1%; debido a que el acceso a el principal factor de riesgo estuvo representado por la edad, siendo los gatos jóvenes los más susceptibles. El acceso a espacios abiertos y la carencia de una adecuada atención sanitaria implica altos riesgos de infección. El 68,8% de los gatos que resultaron positivos vive en casas abiertas, el 93,8% no contaban con la aplicación de vacunas FeLV y el 62,5 % no se desparasitan regularmente. El género, la condición de fertilidad reproductiva, la aplicación de la vacuna triple, la pureza de la raza, el tipo de alimentación ni la convivencia con otros animales, no inciden como factores de riesgo en el contagio de la FeLv.

Magnetised plasma influences electromagnetic wave propagation, this resulting in polarisations at different velocities, an effect that can result in ghost signals. This work provided critical information on the effects of magnetized plasma on electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation perpendicular to the magnetic field. Electromagnetic waves propagating perpendicular to the magnetic field in a weakly magnetized plasma were studied. Furthermore, there are two modes of EM wave propagation perpendicular to the field: ordinary (O) and extraordinary (X). The values of the ordinary (O) mode's frequency were obtained by substituting the values of its wave number (k) into its dispersion relation, while the same frequency values were substituted to obtain the values of its refractive index (η_O^2). The plasma frequency values derived from the Bohm-Gross formulae for electron plasma. The plasma frequency values obtained from the Bohm-Gross formulae for electron plasma waves were substituted into the extraordinary mode dispersion relation to obtain frequency values with cut-off frequencies at ω_L and ω_R. The refractive index values were calculated using the same frequency values (X-mode). The results revealed that for EM wave propagation perpendicular to magnetic field in a weakly magnetized plasma in vacuum, the speed as well as the direction was unperturbed. The results also revealed that the properties of electromagnetic waves propagating perpendicular to magnetic field in a weakly magnetized plasma in an ordinary (O) mode were different from those for extraordinary (X) mode, with the former having a higher phase speed than the latter. Additionally, we discovered that, the phase velocity (υP) exceeded the speed of light (c), which is consistent with the basic ideas of special relativity.
The Role of Consumer Attitude in Mediating Religiosity and Ethnocentrism on Purchase Intention of Local Halal Cosmetics Product
Authors: Surya Ade Permata
Published: July 2023

This study aims to determine the effect of consumer religiosity, consumer ethnocentrism and consumer attitude in increasing the intention to buy local halal cosmetic products in Indonesia, and to examine the role of consumer attitude in mediating the effect of religiosity and ethnocentrism on purchase intention. This research is a causal research type, with a quantitative approach, in which data is taken using a questionnaire to 235 Wardah consumers in 5 major cities in Indonesia. The sampling technique used is non-probability sampling, namely incidental sampling. Furthermore, the hypothesis test was carried out using the Partial Least Square (PLS) and the mediation test. Results show that both religiosity and ethnocentrism have a significant effect on consumer attitude and consumer attitude has a significant effect on purchase intention. Other results indicate that there is no significant effect on the direct relationship between religiosity on purchase intention, on the contrary, there is a significant effect on the direct relationship between ethnocentrism and purchase intention. The empirical results also show that consumer attitudes fully mediate the relationship between religiosity and purchase intention, as well as partially mediate the relationship between ethnocentrism and purchase intention. The coefficient of R-squared purchase intention is known to be quite high, namely 0.62, which means that 62% of purchase intention can be increased by consumer religiosity, attitude and ethnocentrism

Higher-Order Calibration on WindRAD scatterometer winds
Authors: Li Zhen , Stoffelen Ad , Verhoef Anton
Published: July 2023

Abstract. WindRAD (Wind Radar) is a dual-frequency rotating fan-beam scatterometer instrument on the FY-3E (Fengyun-3E) satellite. Scatterometers are generally calibrated using the linear NOC (NWP Ocean Calibration) method, to control the main gain factor of the radar. While WindRad is stable, the complex geometry, the design of the instrument, and the rotating antenna make the backscatter (σ°) distributions persistently non-linear, hence NOC is insufficient. Therefore, a higher-order calibration method is proposed, called HOC. The CDF (Cumulative Distribution Function) matching technique is employed to match the CDF of measured σ°s to simulated σ°s. HOC removes the non-linearities for each incidence angle. However, it is not constructed to remove the anomalous harmonic azimuth dependencies caused by the antenna rotation. These azimuth dependencies are reduced by NOCant (NOC as a function of incidence angle and relative antenna azimuth angle). Therefore, the combination of HOC&NOCant is implemented to correct both anomalous σ° amplitude and azimuth variations. The wind retrieval performance is evaluated with NOCant, HOC, and HOC&NOCant combined. The wind statistics and the cone distance metric both show that HOC&NOCant achieves the optimal winds for C-band and Ku-band. The calibrations have been tested on two operational input data versions; HOC works well on both data versions and HOC&NOCant can achieve the optimal wind performance for both data versions. This confirms the usefulness of HOC calibration in the case of non-linear instrument gain anomalies.

Abstract. To develop the effective strategies for controlling both PM2.5 and O3 levels, it is crucial to understand their synergistic mechanisms, key precursors, and atmospheric physiochemical processes involved. In this study, a wintertime co-occurring O3 and PM2.5 pollution event in a coastal city in southeast China was investigated based on high-time resolution measurements of criteria air pollutants, chemical compositions of PM2.5, and O3 precursors, such as NOx, HCHO, and VOCs. The results of this study revealed a positive correlation between PM2.5 and MDA8 O3 concentrations during the whole periods, suggesting an increase in atmospheric oxidation capacity (AOC) during the cold seasons. Strong correlations (R2 = 0.415–0.477) were observed between HCHO, Fe, Mn, and sulfate concentrations, suggesting the influence of catalyzed oxidation processes in the coastal city. Through an observation-based model (OBM) analysis coupled with the regional atmospheric chemistry mechanism version 2 (RACM2) and the chemical aqueous-phase radical mechanism version 3.0 (CAPRAM 3.0), we found that high concentrations of precursors (SO2 and HCHO), high relative humidity, and moderately acidic pH conditions enhanced the heterogeneous formation of hydroxymethanesulfonate (HMS) in PM2.5. Furthermore, by employing the Master Chemical Mechanism (OBM-MCM), we verified that disabling the HCHO mechanism could decrease daytime net O3 production rates by reducing the production rates of HO2+NO. These results were consistent with the daily values of AOC, OH, HO2, and RO2 concentrations. This study contributes to a better understanding of the significance of HCHO in photochemical reactions and the formation of secondary aerosols in a coastal city.

Abstract. The upper wind-driven circulation in the tropical Atlantic Ocean plays a key role in the basin wide distribution of water mass properties and affects the transport of heat, freshwater, and biogeochemical tracers such as oxygen or nutrients. It is crucial to improve our understanding of its long-term variability which largely relies on model simulations due to sparse observational data coverage especially before the mid-2000s. We applied two different forcing products to a high-resolution ocean model which resolves the complex zonal current field in the tropical Atlantic. Where possible, we compared the simulated results to long-term observations. We found that in simulations the strength of the wind stress curl above the upwelling regions of the eastern tropical North Atlantic is important to set the mean strength of the off-equatorial surface and subsurface currents north of the equator. Too strong wind stress curl above the upwelling regions seems to overestimate the subsurface currents resulting in unrealistic seasonal variability. The simulated decadal to multidecadal variability of the tropical Atlantic current field can, to a large extent, be explained by changes in the Sverdrup dynamics. The combination of both simulations and observations reveals that the recent strengthening of the EUC can be indeed interpreted as a recovery from a weak phase the current experienced since the late 1990s. Where it has become common place for models to explain processes behind ocean observations, we postulate that long-term observations, once they have reached a critical length, can be used to test the quality of wind-driven simulations. This study presents one step in this direction.

Published: July 2023

Abstract. The hydrography of the Arctic Ocean has experienced profound changes over the last two decades. The sea-ice extent has declined more than 10 % per decade, and its liquid freshwater content has increased mainly due to glaciers and sea ice melting. Further, new satellite retrievals of Sea Surface Salinity in the Arctic might contribute to better characterizing the freshwater changes in cold regions. That is because ocean salinity and freshwater content are intimately related such that an increase/decrease of one entails a decrease/increase of the other. In this work we evaluate the freshwater content in the Beaufort Gyre, using surface salinity measurements from the satellite radiometric mission Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and reanalysis salinity at depth. We estimate the freshwater content from 2011 to 2019 in the Beaufort Gyre and validate the results with in-situ measurements. The results highlight the underestimation of the freshwater content using reanalysis data in the Beaufort Sea and a clear improvement in the freshwater content estimation when adding satellite sea surface salinity measurements above the mixed layer. The improvements are significant, especially in areas close to ice melting. Our research demonstrates how remotely sensed salinity can assist us in better monitoring the changes in the Arctic freshwater content and improving our understanding of a key process that is creating subtle density differences that have the potential to change the global circulation system that regulates Earth’s Climate.
Deep Learning Model based on Multi-scale Feature Fusion for Precipitation Nowcasting
Authors: Tan Jinkai , Huang Qiqiao , Chen Sheng
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Accurate forecast of heavy precipitation remains a challenging task in most deep learning (DL)-based models. This study proposes a novel DL architecture named 'Multi-scale Feature Fusion' (MFF) for precipitation nowcasting for a lead time of up to 3 h. The basic idea is to apply convolution kernels with various sizes to achieve multi-scale receptive fields and then capture the movement features of the precipitation system (e.g. shape, movement direction, and moving speed). Meanwhile, the architecture implants the mechanism of discrete probability to reduce uncertainties and forecast errors, so that heavy precipitations can be produced even at longer lead time. The model uses four year’s radar echo data from 2018 to 2021 for model training and one year’s data of 2022 for model testing. The model is compared with three existing extrapolative models: time series residual convolution (TSRC), optical flow (OF), and UNet. Results show that MFF obtains relatively superior forecast skills with a high probability of detection (POD), low false alarm rate (FAR), small mean absolute error (MAE), and high structural similarity index (SSIM). The most commendable result is that MFF can predict high-intensity precipitation fields at 3 h lead time while the other three models can not. Additionally, it can be found from the results of radially averaged power spectral (RAPS) that MFF shows improvement in the smoothing effect of the forecast field. Future works will pay more attention to multi-source meteorological variables, the structural adjustments of the network, and the combinations with numerical models to further improve the forecast skills of heavy precipitations at longer lead times.
STORM v.2: A simple, stochastic decision-support tool for exploring the impacts of climate and climate change at, and near the land surface in gauged watersheds
Authors: Rios Gaona Manuel Felipe , Michaelides Katerina , Singer Michael Bliss
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Climate change is expected to have major impacts on land surface and subsurface processes through its expression on the hydrological cycle, but the impacts to any particular basin or region are highly uncertain. Non-stationarities in the frequency, magnitude, duration, and timing of rainfall events have important implications for human societies, water resources, and ecosystems. The conventional approach for assessing the impacts of climate change is to downscale global climate model output and use it to drive regional and local models that express the climate within hydrology near the land surface. While this approach may be useful for linking global general circulation models to regional hydrological cycle, it is limited for examining the details of hydrological response to climate forcing for a specific location over timescales relevant to decision makers. For example, management of flood or drought hazard requires detailed information that includes uncertainty based on variability in storm characteristics, rather than on differences between models within an ensemble. To fill this gap, we present the second version of our STOchastic Rainfall Model (STORM), an open-source, parsimonious and user-friendly modeling framework for simulating climatic expression as rainfall fields over a basin. This work showcases the use of STORM in simulating ensembles of realistic sequences, and spatial patterns of rainstorms for current climate conditions, and bespoke climate change scenarios that are likely to affect the water balance near the Earth's surface. We outline, and detail STORM's new approaches: one copula for linking marginal distributions of storm intensity and duration; orographic stratification of rainfall using the copula approach; a radial decay-rate for rainfall intensity which takes into consideration potential, but unrecorded, maximum storm intensities; an optional component to simulate storm start date-times via circular/directional statistics; and a simple implementation for modelling future climate scenarios. We also introduce a new pre-processing module that facilitates the generation of model input in the form of probability density functions (PDFs) from historical data for subsequent stochastic sampling. Independent validation showed that the average performance of STORM falls within a 5.5 % of the historical seasonal total rainfall in the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed (Arizona, USA) that ocurred in the current century.

Various Factors Affecting Type of Surgery in Osteosarcoma Limb Salvage/Amputation
Authors: Sachdeva Varun , Mehra Richa
Published: July 2023

The surgical treatment of osteosarcoma has historically been amputation/disarticulation. While there has been improvement in survival from inclusion of chemotherapy on the one hand, it has been paralleled by a shift of surgical treatment from amputation toward limb salvage surgery. This has led to a protocol of considering every patient for limb salvage surgery at all specialized centers. However, limb salvage should be considered in a patient only if the surgeon is reasonably confident that surgical excision of the tumor with wide margins is feasible, and that the expected function of the limb after limb salvage surgery will be better than ablative surgery in the form of amputation/disarticulation. Aim of this study is to determine the various factors that contribute to the type of surgery done in patients of osteosarcoma. There is a statistically no significant difference in the age gender distribution, staging and tumour volume between the two surgical treatment groups.

Published: July 2023

A apicultura e um dos setores que mais crescem na Paraíba, devido, entre outros fatores, a sua pequena vulnerabilidade a estiagens prolongadas, quando comparadas a outras atividades agrícolas. O mel, que e usado como alimento pelo homem desde a pre-historia, por vários seculos foi retirado dos enxames de forma extrativista e predatória. Entretanto, com o tempo, o homem foi aprendendo a proteger seus enxames e maneja-los de forma que houvesse maior produção de mel sem causar prejuízo para as abelhas. Sendo assim, o objetivo geral deste trabalho e analisar a Associação dos Apicultores de Sumé - Paraíba quanto a sua viabilidade econômica e social, enfatizando os princípios da economia solidaria e praticas de educação entre os jovens e adultos associados. Sua metodologia e de caráter descritivo exploratório, com natureza qualitativa, e um estudo de caso com a aplicação de questionários entre os associados e anotações no diário de campo do pesquisador. Hoje, alem do mel, e possível explorar, com a criação racional das abelhas, produtos como: pólen apícola, geleia real, rainhas, polinização, apitoxina, cera, entre outros produtos. Grande parte da região semiárida tem uma floração rica para a polinização das abelhas, como o silvestre, o juá, e o marmeleiro, o que contribui para a produção de mel de alto grau de pureza, garantindo uma boa aceitação no mercado consumidor. Com isso, verifica-se que esta associação e viável social e economicamente, porem a associação ainda necessita superar alguns obstáculos como: a falta de programas para desenvolvimento da apicultura, assistência técnica adequada e comercialização da produção no mercado externo, e só assim alcançara melhor qualidade de vida para os seus associados.

Tendo em vista que, na Economia Solidaria, cada trabalhador e responsável pelo que ocorre com a empresa ou cooperativa, participando de modo pleno tanto dos lucres quanto das perdas. Isto e, se os lucros são significativos, parte deles sera investido no empreendimento, valorizando a propriedade do conjunto dos sócios; outra parte poderá ser dividida entre eles ou depositada em um fundo de reserva. Assim, a economia solidaria como alternativa de trabalho para os alunos da EJA e um tema de grande importância, uma vez que levanta questionamentos sobre o modo como se deve conduzir a educação no contexto atual, sobretudo no que se refere ao atendimento do educando na educação de jovens e adultos, destacando a relação desta com sua atuação profissional. Assim, o presente estudo tem por objetivo geral, demonstrar a importância da economia solidaria como alternativa de trabalho para a educação de jovens e adultos, a partir de uma pesquisa de campo. E, como objetivos específicos: destacar algumas considerações sobre a economia solidaria no contexto atual; reconhecer a características e importância da educação de jovens e adultos na formação da sociedade contemporânea; identificar a importância da economia solidaria como alternativa de trabalho, para a educação de jovens e adultos.

As questões ambientais estão cada vez mais presentes no cotidiano da sociedade, contudo, a educação ambiental é essencial em todos os níveis dos processos educativos e em especial nos anos iniciais da escolarização, já que é mais fácil conscientizar as crianças sobre as questões ambientais do que os adultos. Sendo assim, a incorporação da questão ambiental no cotidiano das pessoas pode propiciar uma nova percepção das relações entre o ser humano, a sociedade e a natureza e promover uma reavaliação de valores e atitudes na convivência coletiva e individual, assim como reforçar a necessidade de ser e agir como cidadão na busca de soluções para problemas ambientais locais e nacionais que prejudiquem a qualidade de vida. Nesse contexto, a escola é um local propício para o desenvolvimento de projetos com enfoque educativo e relacionado ao ambiente em que vivemos. Nessa perspectiva a presente pesquisa “A Educação Ambiental através dos relatos dos professores de Ciências do Município de Sumé – PB”, tem como objetivo identificar como a educação ambiental está sendo trabalhada no ensino de ciências na rede municipal de ensino do município de Sumé –PB, através dos relatos dos professores de ciências.A pesquisa é do tipo exploratório -descritiva com abordagem qualitativa, através de técnica de pesquisa de campo, especificamente de levantamento, com utilização de instrumental em forma de questionário. Com a pesquisa obtivemos a opinião dos professores da Rede Pública de ensino do município de Sumé sobre a importância de se trabalhar a Educação Ambiental nas escolas. As respostas foram bem reveladoras como contribuir para a formação de cidadãos mais conscientes e comprometidos com as questões ambientais, com ações voltadas a sustentabilidade e ao respeito ao meio ambiente, bem como melhorar a qualidade do ensino, formar cidadãos mais comprometidos com as questões ambientais.

Based on the TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) phase dependent light curves, we confirm the eclipsing type variability nature for two G – type dwarfs: TYC 1417-891-1 and TYC 1478-742-1. Both objects show EA (Algol – type) light curves morphology. Orbital period for TYC 1417-891-1 is P ≈ 8.0 day and for TYC 1478-742-1, P ≈ 13.6 day. We present Gaia EDR3 and TESS catalogue important physical parameters as well as LAMOST spectra. Both objects are relatively bright and are located at a distance of 260.59 (±3.21) pc (TYC 1417-891-1) and 117.42 (±0.74) pc (TYC 1478-742-1). The TESS light curve of TYC 1478-742-1 show also flares as well. We discuss possible nature of the secondary and faint objects around these stars.
MEASUREMENT OF THE CROSS SECTIONS FOR THE YIELD OF CHARACTERISTIC X-RAY RADIATION FROM 1-MeV PROTONS
Authors: Gorlachev I. D. , Kireev A. V. , Platov A. V.
Published: July 2023

This article presents the results obtained by measuring the characteristic x-ray production cross sections arising from the interaction of accelerated protons with the target atoms (PIXE). The PIXE production data were measured at the excitation of the K-, L-, and M-shells of target atoms  in the mass range from Mg to Bi by 1 MeV protons. We use the approach based on the calculation of the PIXE production cross sections through the Rutherford backscattering cross section, which can be calculated from the Rutherford formula with high accuracy. This approach makes it possible to reduce the errors in measuring of the PIXE production cross sections and, thus, to improve the accuracy of the data obtained. Further, it is planned to expand the research area including protons of other energies and heavy charged particles in the energy range of 0.5–1.7 MeV/nucleon.

Authors: Fathy Amr , Seleem Mostafa , Bassiouny Y. A. , Taher Ayman
Published: July 2023

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of medical abortion induction when Letrozole and misoprostol are combined vs when misoprostol is used alone. Methods: It was intended for 150 women to participate in a randomized controlled experiment. They were split into two groups at random, each with 75 people. While the control group (misoprostol alone group) only got misoprostol, the case group (letrozole group) received pretreatment letrozole 12.5mg for two days. According to American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) recommendations based on gestational Age, misoprostol was administered to both groups in the following dosages: 800mg sublingually in a single dose during the first trimester and 400mg sublingually every 3 hours for up to 5 doses during the second trimester. Results: 137 women in all, 69 of whom received Letrozole and 68 of whom received misoprostol alone. Complete abortions were recorded in 96 instances (70.07%), 51 of which were associated with Letrozole (73.9%) and 45(66.2%) with misoprostol alone (P=0.32). However, the case and control groups had corresponding mean expulsion start times of 7.51.8 hours and 8.31.5 hours. This suggests that the case group had an ejection that began much sooner (P=0.003). Conclusion: The current study found that a combination of misoprostol with Letrozole did not lead to a significantly higher rate of complete abortion if compared with misoprostol alone among women with missed abortion up to 20 weeks gestation. It only significantly shortened the interval to the initiation of expulsion.

Current work aimed at the modified release of content from carrier system at predetermined rate and secondly, to decrease the use of synthetic drug on biological system. Successive solvent extraction of crude drug of Aegle marmelos plant was done. Active constituent of leaves that is rutin was isolated and identified through HPTLC and FTIR. SLN was selected as carrier system and fabricated by solvent diffusion method. Characterization and performance evaluation of particulate system loaded with herbal plant extract of the Aegle marmelos leaves was done. TEM, In-vitro drug release profile, entrapment efficiency and particle size was determined. Solid lipid nanoparticles have enormous effect in loading high amount or loading dose concentration in body and also maintain the same over prolonged interlude of time. SLN was formulated and characterized for the particle size, shape and its distribution, percentage drug entrapment and In-vitro drug release profile along with the stability studies. In-vivo bio distribution studies on animals suggested the accumulation of formulations in the different organs. Solid lipid nanoparticles also show good stability as compared to other novel carrier systems. Prolonged release of natural drug from carrier system, decrease the dosing frequency and also decrease the dose size. Better results than marketed synthetic anti-diabetic drugs.
Vágyvezérelt gondolkodás vagy bizonyítékalapú tervezés? Vélemények, viták az európai agrárgazdaság jövőjéről
Authors: Lakner Zoltán
Published: July 2023

Az Európai Unióban évtizedek óta tart a vita arról, hogy az agrárgazdaság fejlesztésében és az agrárpolitikai szabályozásban a gazdasági (ökonómiai) vagy a természet- és környezetvédelmi (ökológiai) szempontok kapjanak-e prioritást. Az Európai Akadémiák Tudományos Tanácsadó Testülete 2022 áprilisában közzétett, programadó szándékú tanulmányában egyértelműen olyan élelmiszer-termelő rendszer kialakítását szorgalmazza, mely a célszerűnek vélt ökológiai szempontokat állítja előtérbe. Elemzéseink azonban azt igazolják, hogy a klímaváltozás, az élelmiszerek iránt jelentkező, szükségszerűen árnövelő hatású globális keresletnövekedés, a nemzetközi élelmiszer-ellátó hálózatok természeti (pl. járványok) vagy emberi (pl. háborúk) tényezők hatására kialakult bizonytalanságának időszakában, a bioökonómiára történő áttérés során nem indokolt a meglévő termelési lehetőségek kihasználtságának csökkentésére törekedni. A sok esetben vélelmekre vagy prekoncepció alapján összeválogatott forrásokra alapozott, divatos jelszavakat hangoztató javaslatok helyett bizonyítékokon alapuló, felelős, hosszú távú stratégia kialakítására van szükség. Az okszerű talajerő-gazdálkodás, a növénytermesztés- és az állattenyésztés megfelelő integrációja, a mezőgazdasági kibernetika és a precíziós gazdálkodás, a korszerű, génszerkesztésre alapozott biotechnológia alkalmazása, valamint az ökonómiai és ökológiai értelemben egyaránt optimális üzemméretek kialakítása egyidejűleg biztosítja a természeti, gazdasági és társadalmi szempontokat egyaránt kielégítő, fenntartható fejlődési pálya kialakítását Európa agrártermelésében.
