Abstract. The MALINA oceanographic campaign was conducted during summer 2009 to investigate the carbon stocks and the processes controlling the carbon fluxes in the Mackenzie River estuary and the Beaufort Sea. During the campaign, an extensive suite of physical, chemical and biological variables were measured across seven shelf–basin transects (south–north) to capture the meridional gradient between the estuary and the open ocean. Key variables such as temperature, absolute salinity, radiance, irradiance, nutrient concentrations, chlorophyll a concentration, bacteria, phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance and taxonomy, and carbon stocks and fluxes were routinely measured onboard the Canadian research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen and from a barge in shallow coastal areas or for sampling within broken ice fields. Here, we present the results of a joint effort to compile and standardize the collected data sets that will facilitate their reuse in further studies of the changing Arctic Ocean. The data set is available at https://doi.org/10.17882/75345 (Massicotte et al., 2020).
Development of smart boulders to monitor mass movements via the Internet of Things: a pilot study in Nepal

Published: April 2021

Abstract. Boulder movement can be observed not only in rockfall activity, but also in
association with other landslide types such as rockslides, soil slides in
colluvium originating from previous rockslides, and debris flows. Large
boulders pose a direct threat to life and key infrastructure in terms of amplifying
landslide and flood hazards as they move from the slopes to the river
network. Despite the hazard they pose, boulders have not been directly
targeted as a mean to detect landslide movement or used in dedicated early
warning systems. We use an innovative monitoring system to observe boulder
movement occurring in different geomorphological settings before reaching
the river system. Our study focuses on an area in the upper Bhote Koshi
catchment northeast of Kathmandu, where the Araniko highway is subjected to
periodic landsliding and floods during the monsoons and was heavily affected
by coseismic landslides during the 2015 Gorkha earthquake. In the area,
damage by boulders to properties, roads, and other key infrastructure, such
as hydropower plants, is observed every year. We embedded trackers in 23
boulders spread between a landslide body and two debris flow channels
before the monsoon season of 2019. The trackers, equipped with
accelerometers, can detect small angular changes in the orientation of boulders and
large forces acting on them. The data can be transmitted in real time via a
long-range wide-area network (LoRaWAN®) gateway to a server.
Nine of the tagged boulders registered patterns in the accelerometer data
compatible with downslope movements. Of these, six lying within the
landslide body show small angular changes, indicating a reactivation during
the rainfall period and a movement of the landslide mass. Three boulders
located in a debris flow channel show sharp changes in orientation, likely
corresponding to larger free movements and sudden rotations. This study
highlights the fact that this innovative, cost-effective technology can be used to
monitor boulders in hazard-prone sites by identifying the onset
of potentially hazardous movement in real time and may thus establish the basis for early
warning systems, particularly in developing countries where expensive
hazard mitigation strategies may be unfeasible.

Published: April 2021

The objective of this study was to investigate the role of perceived CSR with emphasis on employees’ attitude and behavior on employee level, a neglected area in research. The literature review suggests that Internal CSR as an ethical behavior of human resource management can help to overcome the grand human and societal challenges of organizations. In this regard, the primary data was collected from Telecom sector and was evaluated through Structural Equation Modeling with the help of AMOS. In the light of observed literature gap, a perceived model having Internal CSR (PICSR) as independent and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) as dependent variable were observed. Moreover, the two parallel mediations were hypothesized through Perceived Organizational Support (POS) and Perceived External Prestige (PEP) in the light of social exchange and social identity theories. The results of hypothesis were found significant. The study intends to contribute to understand the role of micro foundation of CSR and has implications for organizations to meet grand human and societal challenges of organizations in developing countries like Pakistan in South Asia.

Authors: Hayran Yeliz , Kuşçu Süha , SARIKAYA Işıl
Published: April 2021

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of different resin cements after zirconia surface treatments.
Materials & Methods: A total of 60 zirconia discs (3x7mm) were prepared and divided into 3 main groups according to the surface treatments as control (C), sandblasting (SB), and tribochemical silica coating (TC). Main groups were divided into two subgroups according to two different resin cements were applied. No surface treatment was applied to the samples in C group. 50μm Al2O3 particles were applied to the samples in SB group for 10 s at a distance of 10 mm under 4 atm. TC group were tribochemically coated with alumina particles. Self-adhesive resin (ME) and multi-system dual-cure adhesive resin (NX3) was applied to the subgroups. After cementation, all samples were tested for SBS. SBS values were statistically analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests.
Results: Regardless of the cement type, SBS values of the surface treated samples were statistically different (p <0.001). Group SB was determined as the group with the highest SBS value. This group was followed by Group C and Group TC, respectively. The SBS values of the samples according to the resin cements and surface treatments were statistically significantly different (p<0.001). SBS values of the samples cemented with NX3 resin cement were found to be higher than the samples treated with ME resin cement.
Conclusion: SB increased resin bond to zirconia. It is more advantageous to use multi-system dual cure adhesive cements in zirconia cementation.

Published: April 2021

Simultaneous impacts of homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction and Joule heating in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) peristaltic flow
of viscous fluid in a symmetric channel are analyzed in this investigation.
Attention has been focused on designing and simulating a mathematical
model for a viscous fluid in presence of viscous dissipation. Long wavelength approximation in wave frame analysis is implemented. Expressions
for the stream function, axial pressure gradient, temperature, heat transfer coefficient and concentration are derived and discussed. In addition,
the trapping phenomenon is analyzed. The effects of the physical quantities of concern are viewed with a special focus on homogeneous and
heterogeneous reaction and convective conditions for the transfer of heat
at the walls. It is observed that the pressure rise first increases and then
decreases with an increase in amplitude ratio. Effects of Brinkman and
Hartmann numbers on temperature are quite analogous and a temperature
rise is observed, however, temperature decays for the increased value of
Biot number. Moreover, fluid concentration decreases when the value of
the homogeneous reaction parameter is increased.

Effects of Soil on the Seismic Design of Long Span Steel Frames Using Contemporary Building Codes
Authors: Naqash Muhammad Tayyab , Umar Farooq Qazi
Published: April 2021

Seismic excitations and other lateral dynamic distress cause the structure’s foundation to interact with the superstructure’s response. Consequently, the surplus stress distribution takes place. This disturbance in the lateral stiffness of the system can cause un-satisfaction with the adopted code provisions. In the above scenario, soil structure interaction of the Moment Resisting Frames (MRFs) becomes very crucial. This article deals with soil stiffness on the long-span MRFs designed with two modern building codes, namely Saudi Building Code (based on American Standards) and Eurocodes. High and medium ductility with parameter and spatial frame configurations are considered in this study. Each frame is analysed considering the foundation stiffness, calculated based on FEMA recommendations. Hence, a total of 18 cases are examined, conducting a modal response spectrum analysis. The period, top displacements, reactions, and damageability criterion for the analyzed frames are compared. It is shown that the consideration of SSI (Soil Structure Interaction) is paramount for frames with such spans, especially when subjected to high seismic forces.

The evaluation of layout influence on the operational performance and usability of small-scale composters contributes to produce compact solutions with simplified operation and sanitary safety, suitable for reduced spaces and continued use. This study aims to report the influence of different designs on the composting process and the usability of compost bins. Five composters of similar scale (3 liters) and different geometric shapes were designed, manufactured, and tested. Bench tests were carried out for 60 days, and physical, chemical, and sanitary parameters were monitored, as well as the quality of the compost, according to agronomic parameters. The composters were filled with the same proportions of organic residues (food residues, dry leaves, and lawn trimming) to obtain the ideal C:N ratio. Three geometrical layouts were tested concerning usability (hexagonal prism, cube, and parallelepiped) by volunteers for 50 days. The performed tests associated with the statistical treatment of results showed that the geometry of the prototypes interfered with the quality of the final compost and the composter operation. The hexagonal prism and the cube showed greater usability. The results represent a significant contribution to the advancement of solutions in decentralized composting.

Authors: Duarte Armando Dias , Bezerra Saulo de Tarso Marques , Gonçalves Elizabeth Amaral Pastich
Published: April 2021

The environment, over the years, has been subjected to strong negative impacts caused by economic policies that have promoted an uncontrolled growth of urbanization in the cities and abusive exploration of the natural resources. In this context, developing socio-environmental indicators to subsidize the formulation of municipal public policies which consider, specifically, the environmental (in)salubrity of each neighborhood or locality of municipalities is imperative. The present paper presents the construction and application of an environmental health indicator for residential neighborhoods in two localities of Caruaru City, Pernambuco State. The data adopted in research were obtained from databases of City Hall institutions, from interviews with the population of the localities and water quality analyses. The results indicated that the neighborhoods analyzed presented characteristics of medium health; water supply, the disposal of solid waste, and socioeconomic aspects require attention and priority of public policies. In conclusion, the proposed indicator can be an instrument to assist in urban planning and environmental management of Brazilian municipalities, because it can guide the performance of public managers and the civil society to identify priority actions for improving the infrastructure of the most unhealthy neighborhoods.

Authors: Tornetta Paul , Resad Sehar , Kogan Monica
Published: April 2021

Personality plays an important role in performance in medical education and mentorship. Personality assessment can aid in the ability to identify strengths and areas for development by understanding how one's personality influences their learning and interpersonal relationships. We sought to evaluate personality assessment as an effective tool in mentoring during orthopaedic residency in this prospective, cross-sectional study from two orthopaedic surgery residency programs using the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI). Participants completed a survey regarding their experience with the assessment. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and two-sample t-tests were used to examine differences between groups. In total, thirty-four individuals completed the survey. Our results showed 82.4% reported that the HPI very accurately represented them and 58.8% reported better understanding potentially perceived strengths and weaknesses. In total, 75.7% and 72.7% were satisfied with their mentorship about development as a clinician and researcher, respectively. Significant differences were seen between participants who did and did not re-review their results, and participants who did and did-not believe their results profile was accurate. We conclude that personality assessments can be valuable in promoting introspection and strengthening relationships within orthopaedic surgery, particularly when they are valued and emphasized by the user. Our results suggest that use of the HPI provided participants with a better understanding of their perceived strengths and weaknesses as they progress through their orthopaedic residency training.
Identifying Guessing in English Language Tests via Rasch Fit Statistics: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Coniam David , Lee Tony , Lampropoulou Leda
Published: April 2021

This article explores the issue of identifying guessers – with a specific focus on multiple-choice tests. Guessing has long been considered a problem due to the fact that it compromises validity. A test taker scoring higher than they should through guessing does not provide a picture of their actual ability. After an initial description of issues associated with guessing, the article then outlines approaches which have been taken to either discourage test takers from guessing or which attempt statistically to handle the problem. From this, the article moves to a novel way of identifying potential guessers: from the post hoc use of Rasch fit statistics. Two datasets, each consisting of approximately 200 beginner level English language test takers were split into two. In each dataset, half the test takers’ answers were randomised – to approximate guessing. Results obtained via a Rasch analysis of the data was then passed to an analyst who used the Rasch fit statistics to identify possible guessers. On each dataset, 80% of guessers were identified.

Finally, the influence of curve radius, curve superelevation rate, number of passengers and stiffness of driving wheels on dynamic response is discussed.
The Numerical Investigation on Bubble Interaction Dynamics in Hydrodynamic Cavitation
Authors: Lv Liang , LUO Xu , ZHANG Hongxia , CUI Bing , CHEN Lihai
Published: April 2021

Bubble-bubble interactions are of great importance for bubble dynamics. A mathematical model describing the dynamics of a cluster in hydrodynamic cavitation is presented. The interaction strength (i.e. the number density of bubbles) is introduced into Keller-Misis equation. Using this model, numerical investigations of bubble dynamics (i.e. radial motion and internal energy) of single bubble in a cluster have been made due to linear pressure gradient. With the increase of interaction strength, the times of bubble reaching the maximum and minimum radii are delayed. The more of bubbles are in a cluster, the more significant of the delay effect is. The maximum internal energy inside the bubble is closely related to interaction strength (i.e. positive correlation). Furthermore, the initial bubble radius and final recovered pressure of the orifice on bubble dynamics are quantitatively discussed. Based on numerical results, some references are put forward for optimize and manipulate of hydrodynamic cavitation reactor.

Comparison of Feedforward and Recurrent Neural Network in Forecasting Chaotic Dynamical System
Authors: Kandıran Engin , Hacınlıyan Avadis
Published: April 2021

Artificial neural networks are commonly accepted as a very successful tool for global function approximation. Because of this reason, they are considered as a good approach to forecasting chaotic time series in many studies. For a given time series, the Lyapunov exponent is a good parameter to characterize the series as chaotic or not. In this study, we use three different neural network architectures to test capabilities of the neural network in forecasting time series generated from different dynamical systems. In addition to forecasting time series, using the feedforward neural network with single hidden layer, Lyapunov exponents of the studied systems are forecasted.

The article outlines some aspects of the reception of the so-called four Father of the Latin Church in Renaissance Europe, as emerging in the prefaces of their Opera omnia edited in Basel during the end of the 15th and the first half of the 16th century. Through selected passages from the prefaces, the article discusses (§ 1) the relevance of these sources of old Christianity to the cultural and spiritual renewal many humanistic scholars aimed at; (§ 2) the importance of print in promoting the formation and circulation of patristic editions; finally (§ 3) it illustrates the philological approach to late Antique Christian texts, which was innovative in comparison to former methods of their transmissions and is still very instructive to this day.
Continentia in the Confessions 8, 26-27
Authors: Bruning Bernard ,   Instituto Patristico Augustinianum
Published: April 2021

This paper aims to show, on the one hand, that the humility mentioned in book 7 of the Confessions would become the prelude for Augustine to the humility that constitutes the true conversion, and, on the other hand, that the context in which this humility presented itself is continentia. In a passage of linguistic beauty (conf. 8, 27), Augustine describes the struggle that occurred between allegorical persons: those who pulled him back with the chain of the past, and those who urged him forward towards the decision to embrace continentia. The enjoyment of love not only requires the truth that remains forever, but also the steadfastness of all the emotions that come together in the lasting unity of the will. According to the author, Augustine in his Confessions has Christianised the Roman uirtus of continentia.
Biological Aspects of Popular Culture
Authors: Danesi Marcel
Published: April 2021

There are various theories for the origins and rise of popular culture, ranging from sociological to political-ideological ones. But given the existence of such forms of culture across cultural spaces and time, they hardly penetrate the raison d’être of such forms of human expression. Perhaps the one that comes closest to explaining the universality popular and populist forms of culture was put forward by Mikhail Bakhtin, who claimed that spectacles such as carnivals and texts such as novels are popular because they tap into a psychic need, allowing bodily needs and experiences to gain expression and validation. This paper will explore this idea from a generic biosemiotic perspective, looking at how pop culture is a modern-day expressive version of this need.

The subject of this research primarily consists of documents of strategic planning of the Russian Federation. The object is the public relations in the area of ensuring national security, as well as reconstruction of cultural identity of the members of the Russian society within the framework of the legal field. The author raise the issue of legislative regulation of the government administration in spiritual-ethical area, pointing out the uncertainty of goal-setting and conceptual apparatus of the corresponding directives. The article elucidated relevant issues of national security and offers solutions in the information, education, and cultural spheres. The scientific novelty consists in the proposals on development and clarification of the conceptual apparatus of the normative legal framework of ensuring national security. This research is relevant due to articulation of the problem of foreign and criminal ideological influence upon the minds of current and future generations, as well as proposal on compensation of antisocial propaganda. The authors’ positions are aimed at protection of the foundations of Russian constitutional structure, ideological countermeasures to terrorism and extremism, preservation of unity of the multinational composition of the Russian Federation through formation of the cultural identity of the citizens, favorable spiritual-ethical environment, and preservation of Russian statehood. Indicating the positions of the President of the Russian Federation on the subject matter, the authors point to his political will to maintain a traditional society, which is based on historically formed morality.
Hate crimes against LGBT in Russia: legal status and research problems
Authors: Katsuba Sergei Vasil'evich
Published: April 2021

Hate crime is a prejudice-motivated crime against an unprivileged group. This article provides an overview of hate crimes against LGBT in Russia. Emphasis is placed on several aspects: (1) legal status of hate crimes in Russia, (2) avaliable data sources and statistical analysis of anti-LGBT crimes, (3) number of such crimes and general tendency (4) problems of collection and interpretation of data. To answer these questions, the article employs previous research on the topic, reports of the local and international organizations, and law enforcement practice. Russian courts recognize motive of hate towards LGBT  as a direct “hate motive against a social group” (consisting of two or more people who regularly interact based on mutual expectations and share common identity). However, the judges often avoid the direct application of such norm, replacing the motive of hat3 with the concept of “personal antagonism” or prejudice that affected the motives of the perpetrators. This leads to a misinterpretation of anti-LGBT crime statistics, since “personal antagonism” does not entail legal consequences of hate crimes. Therefore, the absence of the official data on such crimes encourages the researchers to search for the alternative sources of statistical data. For assessing the degree of hate crimes against LGBT in Russia, the author explores various research approaches and reports, which testify to the fact that the number of such crimes has increased since 2013. The author outlines a range of challenges faced by the researchers dealing with this topic, as well as potential vectors for further research.
Exceptional stability of a perilipin on lipid droplets depends on its polar residues, suggesting multimeric assembly

Numerous proteins target lipid droplets (LDs) through amphipathic helices (AHs). It is generally assumed that AHs insert bulky hydrophobic residues in packing defects at the LD surface. However, this model does not explain the targeting of perilipins, the most abundant and specific amphipathic proteins of LDs, which are weakly hydrophobic. A striking example is Plin4, whose gigantic and repetitive AH lacks bulky hydrophobic residues. Using a range of complementary approaches, we show that Plin4 forms a remarkably immobile and stable protein layer at the surface of cellular or in vitro generated oil droplets, and decreases LD size. Plin4 AH stability on LDs is exquisitely sensitive to the nature and distribution of its polar residues. These results suggest that Plin4 forms stable arrangements of adjacent AHs via polar/electrostatic interactions, reminiscent of the organization of apolipoproteins in lipoprotein particles, thus pointing to a general mechanism of AH stabilization via lateral interactions.
Malware homology determination using visualized images and feature fusion
Authors: Zhu Xuejin , Huang Jie , Wang Bin , Qi Chunyang
Published: April 2021

The family homology determination of malware has become a research hotspot as the number of malware variants are on the rise. However, existing studies on malware visualization only determines homology based on the global structure features of executable, which leads creators of some malware variants with the same structure intentionally set to misclassify them as the same family. We sought to develop a homology determination method using the fusion of global structure features and local fine-grained features based on malware visualization. Specifically, the global structural information of the malware executable file was converted into a bytecode image, and the opcode semantic information of the code segment was extracted by the n-gram feature model to generate an opcode image. We also propose a dual-branch convolutional neural network, which features the opcode image and bytecode image as the final family classification basis. Our results demonstrate that the accuracy and F-measure of family homology classification based on the proposed scheme are 99.05% and 98.52% accurate, respectively, which is better than the results from a single image feature or other major schemes.

Aim

Helicobacter pylori cytotoxin-associated protein A (CagA) is an important virulence factor known to induce gastric cancer development. However, the cause and the underlying molecular events of CagA induction remain unclear. Here, we applied integrated bioinformatics to identify the key genes involved in the process of CagA-induced gastric epithelial cell inflammation and can ceration to comprehend the potential molecular mechanisms involved.

Materials and Methods

AGS cells were transected with pcDNA3.1 and pcDNA3.1::CagA for 24 h. The transfected cells were subjected to transcriptome sequencing to obtain the expressed genes. Differentially expressed genes (DEG) with adjusted P value < 0.05, — logFC —> 2 were screened, and the R package was applied for gene ontology (GO) enrichment and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. The differential gene protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the STRING Cytoscape application, which conducted visual analysis to create the key function networks and identify the key genes. Next, the Kaplan–Meier plotter survival analysis tool was employed to analyze the survival of the key genes derived from the PPI network. Further analysis of the key gene expressions in gastric cancer and normal tissues were performed based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and RT-qPCR verification.

Results

After transfection of AGS cells, the cell morphology changes in a hummingbird shape and causes the level of CagA phosphorylation to increase. Transcriptomics identified 6882 DEG, of which 4052 were upregulated and 2830 were downregulated, among which q-value < 0.05, FC > 2, and FC under the condition of ≤2. Accordingly, 1062 DEG were screened, of which 594 were upregulated and 468 were downregulated. The DEG participated in a total of 151 biological processes, 56 cell components, and 40 molecular functions. The KEGG pathway analysis revealed that the DEG were involved in 21 pathways. The PPI network analysis revealed three highly interconnected clusters. In addition, 30 DEG with the highest degree were analyzed in the TCGA database. As a result, 12 DEG were found to be highly expressed in gastric cancer, while seven DEG were related to the poor prognosis of gastric cancer. RT-qPCR verification results showed that Helicobacter pylori CagA caused up-regulation of BPTF, caspase3, CDH1, CTNNB1, and POLR2A expression.

Conclusion

The current comprehensive analysis provides new insights for exploring the effect of CagA in human gastric cancer, which could help us understand the molecular mechanism underlying the occurrence and development of gastric cancer caused by Helicobacter pylori.
