Battery Efficiency in Outdoor Sports Environments for Mobile Pervasive Augmented Reality Systems
Authors: Pascoal Rui Miguel
Published: October 2021

This work analyses energy expenditure in outdoor sport environments with augmented reality technology. Battery efficiency is becoming a relevant topic in the context of the varied outdoor end-user services, among other realms. It is a key to the acceptance and use of mobile technology. In outdoor environments, battery efficiency can be low, especially when information based on close-to-real-time requires internet access and the use of sensors. Such requirement is today evident with the growth of internet dependence and multiple sensors, which perform both actively and passively via fitness gadgets, smartphones, pervasive systems, and other personal mobile gadgets. In this context, it is relevant to understand how energy is spent with the accelerometer, global position system, and internet access (Wi-Fi or mobile data) providing smart data for outdoor sports activities. Through a prototype, an analysis is made based on the current battery autonomy, and an algorithm model for better battery efficiency is proposed.

Published: October 2021

In this paper, we examined consumers’ intention to adopt and use mobile payment method in Ghana. Data for the study was obtained from a sample of 260 respondents through online and direct survey using structured questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyse the data through SPSS v.22 and SmartPLS v.3. Findings with regards to the determinants of mobile payment system adoption indicate that perceived security, attitude and perceived usefulness play active roles in consumers decision to adopt mobile payment method in Ghana. Also, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have a significant and positive influence on consumers’ attitude towards mobile payment adoption. Further, subjective norm was found to influence perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of mobile payment adoption in Ghana. The study contributes to literature on mobile payment system from developing country context. The study proffered some recommendations.

Authors: Kamenjarska Tanja , Spremić Mario , Miloloža Ivan
Published: October 2021

The ability to innovate is essential for achieving a competitive position, and digital innovations have become one of the main drivers of competitive advantage. The factors that affect the degree of innovation (innovation efforts, competitive priorities, market strategy, the internal organisational atmosphere) impact the financial performance of insurance companies considering the market conditions. In order to shed some light on that research gap in post-transition countries, survey research has been conducted on a sample of insurance companies in the Republic of North Macedonia. The results obtained from the structural equation modelling analysis, which seeks to determine the structural relationship between the measured variables and the latent constructions, reveal positive effects of innovation performance on the profitability of insurance companies.
A TISM and MICMAC Analysis of Factors During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Indian Apparel Supply Chain
Authors: Kumar Rupesh , Gupta Parul , Gupta Rajesh
Published: October 2021

The objective of this study is to explore the challenges faced by the Indian apparel supply chain in the wake of COVID-19 to identify the factors that are being affected and build a multilevel hierarchy model to prioritize the factors and understand their inter-relationships. An intensive literature review was conducted and many experts from apparel supply chain were consulted. The study was conducted by the help of a survey sent to these experts from different echelons in the apparel industry. The data was then analysed using Total Interpretive Structural Modelling (TISM). The “Difficulty in export order fulfilment” factor is found to be the most sensitive factor which means that it is present in the TISM model hierarchy in a place that it is affected by most of the factors and in-turn impacts factors like operational cost, change in marketing strategy, change in consumer buying pattern, which impact Profitability and Cut-off in employment. “Cut-off in employment” is found to be most impacted by all other factors in TISM model.

Published: October 2021

Preterm labor (PTL) is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Whereas many studies have investigated the maternal immune responses that cause PTL, fetal immune cell activation has recently been raised as an important contributor to the pathogenesis of PTL. In this study, we analyzed lymphocyte receptor repertoires in maternal and cord blood from 14 term and 10 preterm deliveries, hypothesizing that the high prevalence of infection in patients with PTL may result in specific changes in the T cell and B cell repertoires. We analyzed TCR β-chain (TCR-β) and IgH diversity, CDR3 lengths, clonal sharing, and preferential usage of variable and joining gene segments. Both TCR-β and IgH repertoires had shorter CDR3s compared with those in maternal blood. In cord blood samples, we found that CDR3 lengths correlated with gestational age, with shorter CDR3s in preterm neonates suggesting a less developed repertoire. Preterm cord blood displayed preferential usage of a number of genes. In preterm pregnancies, we observed significantly higher prevalence of convergent clones between mother/baby pairs than in term pregnancies. Together, our results suggest the repertoire of preterm infants displays a combination of immature features and convergence with maternal TCR-β clones compared with that of term infants. The higher clonal convergence in PTL could represent mother and fetus both responding to a shared stimulus like an infection. These data provide a detailed analysis of the maternal–fetal immune repertoire in term and preterm patients and contribute to a better understanding of neonate immune repertoire development and potential changes associated with PTL.
Cutting Edge: Circulating Exosomes with COVID Spike Protein Are Induced by BNT162b2 (Pfizer–BioNTech) Vaccination prior to Development of Antibodies: A Novel Mechanism for Immune Activation by mRNA Vaccines

Published: October 2021

Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes severe acute respiratory syndrome. mRNA vaccines directed at the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein resulted in development of Abs and protective immunity. To determine the mechanism, we analyzed the kinetics of induction of circulating exosomes with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and Ab following vaccination of healthy individuals. Results demonstrated induction of circulating exosomes expressing spike protein on day 14 after vaccination followed by Abs 14 d after the second dose. Exosomes with spike protein, Abs to SARS-CoV-2 spike, and T cells secreting IFN-γ and TNF-α increased following the booster dose. Transmission electron microscopy of exosomes also demonstrated spike protein Ags on their surface. Exosomes with spike protein and Abs decreased in parallel after four months. These results demonstrate an important role of circulating exosomes with spike protein for effective immunization following mRNA-based vaccination. This is further documented by induction of humoral and cellular immune responses in mice immunized with exosomes carrying spike protein.

Published: October 2021

Intussusception is defined as the telescoping of a segment of the gastrointestinal tract within the lumen of the adjacent segment usually proximal to distal. It is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in children, rarely it can occur in adult. This condition is reported in both developed and developing countries, however there are few publications in Nigeria about the incidence, presentation and outcome of its management, most especially in children. This is a prospective study of pediatric patients managed in single center Kano over a period of 18months. The demographic data, clinical features, treatment and outcome of the management were evaluated and analyzed using SPSS version 23. Between June 2018 to December 2019, twenty-five children were managed with intussuception at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, there were 16 males and 9 females. The age of the patients ranges between 5 months to 6 years with most of patients in the ager range between 6 and 12 months. All of the 25 patients had exploratory laparotomy with manual reduction in 12 patients, while 13 patients had resection and anastomosis. Non-operative reduction using normal saline under ultrasound guidance was attempted for 2 patients, which was not successful. The length of hospital stay ranged between 4 days and 22 days. Few complications were observed which includes surgical site infection, wound dehiscence, postoperative ileus. One patient was re-operated for recurrent intussuception. Two patients died post operatively, while 23 patients were discharged home alive. Intussuception is still a common cause of intestinal obstruction in children in Kano. Late presentation was found to be associated with higher morbidity (complications).

Published: October 2021

OBJECTIVES:

This study aimed to assess the perception of orthodontic staff members around clinical learning outcomes (LOs) of the undergraduate orthodontic curriculum with a focus on dental schools in Saudi Arabia.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Twenty-three LOs were formulated, all of which were associated with skills required in the undergraduate orthodontics course. Orthodontic staff members were invited to provide their opinion regarding the curriculum using a Likert scale, whereby participants could answer each question on a scale from “Strongly Agree” to “Strongly Disagree.”

RESULTS:

Sixty-one teaching staff members agreed to partake in this study. The highest level of agreement among the participants pertained to conducting systematic orthodontic intraoral and extraoral examinations (100%), followed by explaining causes for space loss (98.3%). The lowest level of agreement was regarding executing a treatment plan for non-skeletal cases (62.2%) followed by skills of fabrication and activation of removable appliances (77%). Around 67.1% of the academics refused to allow dental students to select and bond orthodontic brackets.

CONCLUSION:

It is time to amalgamate the objectives and create a unified national list of LOs for all orthodontic curriculums across the country without any distinction of knowledge or skills required at the undergraduate level.

Published: October 2021

We prove that if

\mu

is a self-affine measure in the plane whose defining IFS acts totally irreducibly on

\mathbb{RP}^1

and satisfies an exponential separation condition, then its dimension is equal to its Lyapunov dimension.We also treat a class of reducible systems. This extends our previous work on the subject with Bárány to the overlapping case.

Published: October 2021

We study the noncommutative Poincaré duality between the Poisson homology and cohomology of unimodular Poisson algebras, and show that Kontsevich’s deformation quantization as well as Koszul duality preserve the corresponding Poincaré duality. As a corollary, the Batalin– Vilkovisky algebra structures that naturally arise in these cases are all isomorphic.

Published: October 2021

Heavy metals are one of the most persistent pollutants in waters, and molecular biomarkers as bioindicators could uncover early warning signals of stress suffered by organisms exposed to these pollutants. This research was conducted to explore the impact of lead contaminant on expression levels of hsp70 gene as well as protein pattern and innate immune indicators of skin mucus in Common carp as a biological model. The fish were exposed to different concentrations of Pb(NO3)2 as a source of lead (0, 7.875, 15.75, and 31.5 mg/L of lead) for 14 days. After the completion of the experiment, the liver and gill tissue plus mucus samples were collected from the fish. Next, the effects of exposure to sublethal doses of lead were investigated on expression levels of hsp70 gene, protein pattern, and innate immune indicators of skin mucus. The results indicated that the expression level of hsp70 gene significantly increased (at 7.5% & 30% LC50) in the liver tissue compared to the control group (P<0.05). The protein pattern of treatment samples was different from that of the control group. Also, in the mucus innate immune parameters, the levels of alkaline phosphatase increased significantly at high concentrations of lead contamination in comparison with the control group (P<0.05). The protein levels first revealed an ascending trend (P<0.05), and then a descending trend (at 30% LC50), though it was not a significant downward trend compared with the control group (P>0.05). The results suggested that these physiological indicators in Cyprinus carpio could be used as molecular and mucosal biomarkers for ecotoxicological studies.

Published: October 2021

This study aimed to determine the effects of fermented feed using probiotics and laser-firing to accelerate the mature broodstocks and seed productions of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Fish has used male and female broodstocks of catfish. The method was used a completely randomized design with three treatments: unfermented feed as control, probiotic-fermented feed (PFF), and probioticfermented feed+laser firing (PFF+Li). In the first study, a laser-firing dose of 1.125 Joule was performed on fish broodstocks every 15 days. The gonadal maturity time of male and female broodstocks was observed. The second study, treated female broodstocks, was mated with mature male broodstocks without any prior treatments (control). Fertilization rate, hatching rate, and seed production performances such as survival rate and total length were measured. The results showed that treatment of PFF+Li has a significant effect (P<0.05) on the gonadal maturity time of males and females. This treatment reaches the fastest time to mature of the female gonad (31-41 days) and the male gonad (32-37 days) than other treatments (P<0.05). This treatment also produced the highest fertilization, hatching, and survival rates of more than 90%, respectively, and the highest seed yield of 2.1-3.0 cm size compared to other treatments (P<0.05) in African catfish.

The present study addressed the effects of Leucas aspera enriched diet in Nile tilapia. Three hundred Nile tilapia were fed Leucas aspera as follows: 0 g kg-1 L. aspera (C-control), 5 g kg-1 L. aspera (T1), 10 g kg-1 L. aspera (T2) and 15 g kg-1 L. aspera (T3). After 30 days of feeding, significant (P<0.05) increase in growth performance was noticed by feeding the fish the T2 diet. Thereafter fish were intraperitoneal injected with Aeromonas hydrophila in challenge test. After 21 days of challenge, highest survival rate (70%) was observed in fish fed the T3 diet followed by fish fed T2 diet (65%). Serum immunological parameters such as phagocytosis, alternative complement activity, respiratory burst activity and lysozyme activity were significantly (P<0.05) enhanced in fish fed all inclusion levels of L. aspera with the maximum activity in fish fed the T2 diet. Hematological parameters were significantly (P<0.05) higher in all groups fed L. aspera diets vs. control fed fish. No histopathological changes in liver were observed in fish fed the T2 diet in the histology study. Gene expression study revealed the upregulation in the expression of COX-2 and GR genes. In conclusion, the current results suggest that dietary administration of L. aspera especially the T2 diet, has beneficial effects in improving immunity and can mitigate the adverse effects of A. hydrophila infection in Nile tilapia.

Published: October 2021

As a small economic aquatic animal for human consumption, the crayfish Procambarus clarkii breeding was vigorously promoted in Anhui Province. In the present study, genetic analysis was conducted on 12 cultured populations in Anhui Province by microsatellite. The results showed that all twelve populations were showed a high genetic diversity (He=0.483-0.660, PIC=0.422-0.588). Among which the genetic diversity of Quanjiao population is highest, while lowest in Changfeng population. AMOVA analysis showed that most of the genetic variation was found within P. clarkii population (91.08%), while only 8.92% was found among populations. Genetic differentiation and genetic distance analysis showed that the overall differentiation level was moderate (Fst=0.078). Phylogenetic tree showed that all groups in Taihu and Susong County have a close relationship, Huoqiu and Quanjiao populations formed a sister relationship, and genetic distance between Xuanzhou and other populations was furthest, which mainly related to the parents origin. Additionally, populations experience the bottleneck effect, and inbreeding existed within or among populations, especially in Chngfeng and Xuanzhou populations. The result indicated the germplasm resources of cultured crayfish in Anhui have a tendency of decline, the parents should be updated periodically, and genetic exchanges among the populations should be strengthened.
Renesansowy księgozbiór krakowskiego lekarza Stanisława Różanki
Authors: Frankowicz Krzysztof
Published: October 2021

Renaissance book collection of Stanislaus Rosarius

The subject of the paper is the library of Stanislaus Rosarius (1520–1572). This doctor of philosophy and medicine, a graduate of the University of Padua who socialized with a number of key figures of the Polish Renaissance, was a highly regarded physician and an eminent member of the Calvinist congregation in Krakow. Being a prosperous practitioner, during his entire career he allocated part of his income to purchasing books for his private library. In total, Rosarius amassed almost 400 volumes, which made his library one of the largest of its kind at that time, not just within the royal capital of Poland. The library’s impressive range distinctly shows the broadness of the humanistic interests of its owner. As its main part, the article comprises two inventories of Rosarius’ books, one compiled in 1572 and the other in 1583. The present publication lists all entries from both the manuscripts, amply demonstrating the unique character of the collection as well as providing a sound basis for further detailed studies on Renaissance book collections in the possession of Krakow burghers.
Działalność Obozu Narodowo-Radykalnego i Ruchu Narodowo-Radykalnego w Krakowie i na terenie województwa krakowskiego w latach 1934–1939

Activities of the National-Radical Camp and Falanga National-Radical Camp in Krakow and the Krakow region in the years 1934–1939

The goal of the article is to describe the activities of the initially legal, and later illegal, National-Radical Camp (ONR) in Krakow and its region in the years 1934–1939. The main period of activity for this organisation in Krakow itself and the Krakow region was in 1934 and, after its breakup, as the Falanga National-Radical Camp in the years 1937–1939. Groups also existed in Tarnow, Nowy Targ and Zakopane. Numerous splits, its illegal structures, lack of funds for activities, arrests and invigilation of its ranks by police informers did not help the development of the party. The name of the organisation changed a few times, but it remained subordinate to the leaders of the Falanga National-Radical Camp in Warsaw. The small number of active members did not prevent it from penetrating various political, economic and cultural environments with the objective of obtaining new members or necessary funds. All the activities of ONR in Krakow were, however, more of a hooligan than a revolutionary nature. It did not play a significant role in the political scene in Krakow after the end of the 1930s.
Wielka wojna w "Dzienniku" Aleksandry Czechówny (część V: 5 stycznia – 2 listopada 1918 r.)
Authors: Lesiak-Przybył Bożena
Published: October 2021

The Great War in the “Journal” of Aleksandra Czechówna (Part V: 5 January – 2 November 1918) Aleksandra Czechówna (1839–1923) was the daughter of Tomasz Czech and Aleksandra, née Zielińska. Her “Journal from the whole life...”, written for almost 70 years (1856– 1923), is stored in the National Archives in Krakow, ref. no. 29/1582/1–29/1582/44 (former ref. no. IT 428/1–428/44). It represents a great source that depicts the cultural, social and daily life of Krakow in the second half of the 19th century, and the first two decades of the 20th century. The text placed here comes from volume 42 of the “Journal”, ref. no. 29/1582/42 (former ref. no. IT 428/42). It represents a continuation of the entries concerning the first four years of World War I and describes the fifth year of the ongoing fight (see “Krakowski Rocznik Archiwalny” 2014, vol. 20, pp. 111–132; 2015, vol. 21, pp. 133–163; 2016, vol. 22, pp. 139–170). The presented text was written by a perceptive observer of events of great importance for Poles. The author mainly used press reports and clerical announcements, but also made use of personal accounts. The description of the situation is, therefore, incomplete, especially with regard to politics. It does, however, provide a wide range of information about the events taking place on the eastern front as well as in Krakow. It paints a picture of the difficult daily life, full of worries, sacrifices and shortages, of the residents of the city in the next year of the ongoing war. It also provides a description of the feeling of Poles, their constant uncertainty, but also the great expectations connected with recreating a Polish state. When the dreams of Poles finally became a reality and Poland regained independence, beside the great joy, A. Czechówna was still worried by the international situation and internal conflicts.

The daily life and peculiarities of Krakow during the years 1978–1983 in the journals of Henryk Majcherek

The journals written by Henryk Majcherek, the doyen of Krakow’s acting world, are a source for research into the history of Poland and, in particular, the so-called Polska Ludowa (People’s Poland). They were written from the 1960s until the beginning of the 21st century and contain innumerable carefully-noted details. Here, just a small fragment of the memoirs are presented. They require explanation. Written down by the author, they are a picture of Krakow, of a neglected historical town, a picture of the knowledge at that time and a depiction of the scale of the problems. Without support in the form of descriptions and references, the reader may not fully understand the details or the depth of the differences dividing the Poland of that time – a country of the Warsaw Pact – from the “free” world, in which purchasing butter, cheese or nails was not a problem. At the same time, the reader becomes a witness to the golden times of Polish theatre and cabaret, as well as the work and daily reality of great directors and actors.

The Reformation is described mostly as an upheaval. In fact, it is worth considering this period as transformation. The article is an attempt to modify the usual perception of this historical period. At the very beginning the paper discusses the idea of transformation from a sociological perspective. Then it introduces a comparison of the Reformation with other transitions and the late Middle Ages. This allows at the end to define the Reformation as a kind of consequence of medieval times and their transformation.

Atria: an ultra-fast and accurate trimmer for adapter and quality trimming
Authors: Chuan Jiacheng , Zhou Aiguo , Hale Lawrence Richard , He Miao , Li Xiang
Published: October 2021

With advances in next-generation sequencing, adapters attached to reads and low-quality bases directly and implicitly hinder downstream analysis. For example, they can produce false-positive single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), and generate fragmented assemblies. There is a need for a fast trimming algorithm to remove adapters precisely, especially in read tails with relatively low quality. Here, we present Atria, a trimming program that matches the adapters in paired reads and finds possible overlapped regions using a fast and carefully designed byte-based matching algorithm (O (n) time with O (1) space). Atria also implements multi-threading in both sequence processing and file compression and supports single-end reads. Compared with other trimmers, Atria performs favorably in various trimming and runtime benchmarks of both simulated and real data. We also provide a fast and lightweight byte-based matching algorithm, which can be used in various short-sequence matching applications, such as primer search and seed scanning before alignment.

Seasonality in fuel consumption: a case study of a gas station
Authors: Rosado João , Guerra Daniel , Ferreira Paulo
Published: October 2021

Oil and its derivatives are very important goods in the world, not only because of their huge use but also because the consequences of that use. The literature has plenty of works with economic analysis of the use of oil. Having available a huge amount of data, we propose an innovative approach: based on daily information of sales in a gas station since 2001 to 2018, we make a seasonality analysis of those sales. In separate analysis, using information of the both existing shifts, of the week day and of the month, we conclude that seasonality in sales is significant. This is an important information for firm managers, which could use this information to better define their strategies.
Consumer Handwashing Research: Handwashing in a Pandemic

Childrens' Scarf Dances
Authors: Gordos Anna
Published: October 2021

The scarf is a less used tool in the methodology of teaching folk dances. This object, however, had a crucial role both in Hungarian folk dance tradition and in the way of life of peasants. The paper presents the traditional appearances of the scarf in dances and its usage’s symbolic semantic layers with a special focus on wedding pair-choosing dances. The scarf has a privileged role in these playful pair-swapping games, on the one hand as the realisation of improvisation, on the other hand as a means of creating an equal relationship between dance partners. These structural and conceptual conclusions could be translated and applied in the process of dance teaching: the scarf as a tool of methodology eases communication, reveals the dynamism between dance partners and the emotional aspects of dance. The present study is followed by a supplement of 12 scarf games, which provides new ideas for practising dance teachers on how to use the scarf in teaching folk dances.

Background: The present study examines the relationship between resilience, mood, fear for Covid-19, and cognitive functioning during pandemic Covid-19. 

Methods: A cross-sectional web-based study was conducted from December 2020 to January 2021 among the administrative staff of the University of Western Macedonia, Greece. Data was collected using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Depression, Anxiety, and Stress (DASS 21), fear of Covid-19 scales (FCV-19S), and Cognitive functioning self-assessment scale (CFSS). Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis was performed using an independent Sample T-Test, Chi-Square Test, One-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis H Test, Spearman's Rank-Order Correlations, Pearson product-moment correlations, and Simple Linear Regression. SPSS version 22 was used for data analysis and the statistical significance was considered at less than 0.05.

Results: Data of 88 university's administrative staff has undergone final analysis. Most of the respondents were females (78.4%), married (61.3%), middle-aged group (64.8%), held a post-graduate degree (56.8%) and 94.3% stated that they had not been sick with Covid-19. Our findings showed that the middle-aged group has statistically significantly higher fear on Covid-19 (P = 0.046), and more care of personal hygiene, stress (P = 0.040), than the young age group respectively. Women had a statistically significantly higher restriction to physical contact compared to men (P = 0.042), however, men had statistically significantly more trusted the results of clinical trials of Covid-19 vaccines than women (P = 0.039), respectively. There was statistically significant and negative correlation between Resilience (CD) and cognitive functioning (r = -0.412, n = 87, P < 0.001). Furthermore, the result of a simple linear regression showed that an increase of one in CD corresponded to a 0.287 decrease in cognitive functioning.

Conclusion: It is vital to continue monitoring the psychological and cognitive effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
