In vitro anaerobic incubation: a reliable method to predict the potential of nitrogen mineralization after grassland ploughing
Authors: Cugnon Thibaut , Mahillon Jacques , Lambert Richard
Published: February 2024

Description of the subject. Large amounts of nitrogen may be released after grassland ploughing, and no reliable method is available for routine laboratories to help farmers managing these cultural practices. Objectives. The objective of this study was to assess whether short-term anaerobic potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN) is a reliable estimator of the N amount actually mineralized in the field during the growing season after grassland ploughing. Method. PMN was determined in vitro using a 7-day anaerobic incubation on three plots of grassland that were tilled and monitored for two years. The mineral nitrogen (NO3- -N and NH4+-N) amounts were measured at different times in the three plots and used to estimate the actual in situ mineralization with the LIXIM calculation model (ISM). Results. Our results indicated that in vitro anaerobic incubation of grassland soil samples provided estimations very close to the actual data of ISM observed during the monitoring (less than 10% of relative difference). A close relationship (p = 0.0029) was found between PMN and ISM with a high correlation (R2 = 0.91). Additionally, our study revealed very high levels of nitrogen mineralization during the first and second year after grassland ploughing, even after temporary grassland of short duration (3 years). Conclusions. PMN estimated by short-term anaerobic incubation is suitable for a reliable application in grasslands of all ages. This method should be used only if the mineral N content of the soil is not too high (< 100 kg N·ha-1 in our experiment) and the mineralization depth taken in account in the calculation should be defined rigorously in each situation.

The aim of this study was to dye polyester fabric with natural colorant obtained from henna leaves. Due to the hydrophobic nature of polyester, it makes the dyeing process difficult at low temperature and also prevents dye molecules from diffusing into the fiber interior during dyeing. To solve such dyeability problems of polyester, the fabric were treated with alkali to convert the hydrophobic nature into hydrophilic. This alkaline hydrolysis of polyester improved its chemical properties and made dyeing of polyester with natural colorant can be possible. The coloration of hydrolyzed polyester was carried out with the extracted aqueous natural dye. In this study optimizations of surface treatment conditions of polyester were investigated and the effects of hydrolysis on the fabric properties were also studied. Dyeing conditions like MLR, time, temperature and pH were optimized based on their dyeing properties results. Modifications of the fiber surface were confirmed by wettability test and FTIR study. The alkaline hydrolysis of polyester showed weight loss but achieved weight loss has no significant effect on the fabric’s strength. Beside this, characterization of the dyeing properties like color strength, dyeing evenness and color fastness were carried out for lawsone (primary colorant in henna leaves) dyed polyester. It was observed from the study that as the dyeing temperature and time increases, the K/S value increases until dye exhaustion attains equilibrium and then there is decrease. Higher color strength was obtained at basic pH conditions. Color fastness to washing and rubbing result obtained showed good to excellent grades.

Este artigo evidencia os contextos epistêmicos que enredam as prescrições contidas em Como se deve escrever a história do Brasil (1910), de José Oiticica. Cremos que elas fornecem elementos importantes para compreendermos o trabalho de escrita da história na República. Neste texto encontra-se um inventário das diferenças ante a prática historiográfica realizada pelos fundadores do Império, sobretudo, a partir da leitura que Oiticica faz da dissertação homônima de Karl von Martius. Assim, o texto aborda a sua concepção de ciência da história e de método por meio de uma teoria do conhecimento bastante singular. Destacamos, ainda, a interpretação do Brasil impressa nesta normatização.

New Crusades: Islamophobia and the Global War on Muslims

"How could Europe lord it over a continent ten times its size?” wonders a voice in Wizard of the Crow, a novel by the Kenyan writer Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o (2006, p. 681). One answer to this rhetorical question is addressed by the Palestinian-American intellectual and activist Edward Said’s (2003) statement: “Every empire, however, tells itself and the world that it is unlike all other empires, that its mission is not to plunder and control but to educate and liberate” (as cited in Beydoun, 2023, p. 68). Much of the colonial telling happens in the realm of education, whose institutionalized tools of textbooks and policies have been responsible for reproducing the fake history of the imperial narrative, one that silences the oppressed and lets the oppressors shine with nobility. Said’s statement not only answers the above question but also points to the empire’s hegemonic aspirations of constituting the identity of the Other since the Other in colonial discourse is framed as the uneducated who needs to be educated, necessarily, in the logics of the empire. Instilling racism as a major colonial project against the Muslim Other has been the case with the United States of America’s foreign policy in the aftermath of 9/11, a renewed imperialism in the name of fighting “terror.” Therefore, educating the U.S. Muslim youths about themselves as being anti-Western barbaric terrorists is as colonially imperative as educating white American generations about the latter being defenders of White “democratic” civilization against the “barbarity” of the former. Challenging the dominant stories of the empire demands devising tools that shake the grand narrative from within by making the missing narratives visible and heard
Transformation of Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem to QUBO Using Direct Method in Quantum Annealing Applications
Authors: Wroński Michał , Burek Elżbieta , Dzierzkowski Łukasz , Żołnierczyk Olgierd
Published: February 2024

This paper investigates how to reduce the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem over prime fields to the quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem in order to obtain as few logical qubits as possible. In the best case scenario, if n is the bitlength of a characteristic of prime field Fp, approximately 3n³ logical qubits are required for such a reduction in the Edwards curve case. We present a practical attack on an elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem over the 3-bit prime field F7 for an elliptic curve with the subgroup of order 8. We solved this problem using the D-Wave Advantage QPU. To the best of the authors' knowledge, no one has made, so far, a practical attack on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm over a prime field using the direct quantum method.
Cultural Openness, Patriotism, and Intention as Determinant Factors of Tax Compliance: A Systematic Review

The aim of this review is to analyze the current state of the literature on tax compliance (TC) based on three determinants, namely: cultural openness, patriotism and intention to comply, then to make suggestions for future research. A systematic literature review from identified online academic databases was used to conduct this research. A total of 45 conceptual and empirical papers relating to the designed relationships were analyzed. In light of the review of the existing literature, this systematic review suggests that the influence of patriotism, cultural openness and intention on actual behavior of individual taxpayers still require more empirical analyses using alternative research approaches, alternative theories, and a comprehensive population. Further, prior TC research has used several competing components and similar frameworks under theory of planned behavior which extended to reasoned action theory. Although these frameworks have provided beneficial insights into our understanding of compliance and intention behavior in general, empirical evidence from this stream of research has not been convincing or comprehensive. This article seeks to persuade authorities to recognize that low TC occurs when a gap exists between authorities and taxpayers. Instead of relying solely on deterrence tactics, they should devise policy measures to close that gap by concentrating on taxpayer attitudes and values. This is the first systematic review on individual tax compliance using the three determinants.
p53 Contributes to the Chemotherapeutic Drug Doxorubicin-Induced Cell Death in Colorectal Cancer Cell Line HCT116
Authors: Deng Rui
Published: February 2024

Doxorubicin is a commonly used chemotherapy drug for cancer treatment, although its effectiveness varies across different cancer types. p53 is a key factor involved in cell death induced by therapeutic agents, and it can be upregulated by doxorubicin, exhibiting a function of apoptosis. To further investigate the mechanism between p53 and doxorubicin, this study explored whether p53 plays a role in doxorubicin-induced cell death in the colorectal cancer line HCT116. The findings revealed that p53 was upregulated in HCT116 cells when treated with doxorubicin, and the knockdown of p53 decreased the sensitivity of HCT116 cells to doxorubicin. These results suggest that p53 plays an important role in doxorubicin-induced cell death in HCT116 cells, potentially contributing to more effective treatment approaches.

Regular physical activity (PA) plays a crucial role in promoting overall health and preventing non-communicable diseases, with exercise both during and outside working hours reducing accumulated fatigue and stress caused by various job tasks. However, despite this, many people do not engage in sufficient levels of PA for various reasons. In line with this, this comprehensive research aimed to identify the barriers to physical exercise among the working population (WP). A search of literature was conducted using the following databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, Medline, and Mendeley, covering the period from 2002 to 2022. To potentially include in the study, all titles and abstracts were reviewed. A search of the databases based on keywords yielded 420 studies, then, through analysis and in accordance with the study’s objectives, 50 studies were included for analysis. Through a detailed analysis of selected studies, various barriers to PA in the WP have been identified. All barriers can be divided into three main groups: i) Work schedule and workplace as barriers; ii) Marital and extramarital relationships, parenthood, family, and household obligations as barriers; iii) Time, behavioral, socio-economic, demographic, and ecological factors as barriers. The detected barriers suggest that interventions to overcome them should not be directed toward a single solution, given their diversity. In the context of the contemporary lifestyle where economic activities almost dominantly prevail, maintaining the health and adequate work level of employees is of utmost importance, further emphasizing the significance of PA and the identification of barriers of various kinds. Therefore, this research is of great value, as by determining the state and identifying different barriers to PA, it can serve as an initial step in devising various measures and solutions to eliminate these barriers and enable the WP to engage in physical activities for the improvement of their health and work potential.

Data on pore size distribution in solids are obtained by pycnometric density-based methods for measuring the pore structure of materials. The results of measuring open porosity by weighing a dry sample followed by evacuation and saturation with distilled water at atmospheric pressure, impregnation with water under pressure using a hydrostat and mercury porosimetry are presented. The samples of porous nickel obtained using powder technology by sintering of the compacts from mixtures of nickel nanopowder with powder ammonium bicarbonate NH4HCO3 (a blowing agent), the volume fractions of which were 80 and 20%, respectively, were studied. A powder blowing agent with a particle size of 63 – 125, 140 – 200, and 250 – 315 μm was used. A theoretical estimation of the pore size available for the penetration of the impregnating liquid was carried out for three methods used for the determination of open porosity. It is shown that upon water saturation after evacuation the liquid can penetrate only into pores larger than 3 μm. Moreover, in porous structures with a large fraction of submicron pores, the actual values of the open porosity are significantly underestimated when using the method of saturation with distilled water after evacuation. The higher the fraction of fine pores in the material, the lower the open porosity value. The difference between the open porosity values determined by methods of water impregnation using a hydrostat and mercury porosimetry was negligible. It has been established that among three considered methods for measuring open porosity, only the method of saturation with distilled water after evacuation cannot be used in analysis of structures with submicron pores. The results obtained can be used to develop porous functional materials and products with a given porosity structure.

Published: February 2024

On-site repairs of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites, wet layup repairs with heat blanket method play a critical and practical role for the composite defects that occur in production and assembly. The porosity level should be controlled for the repair parts with heat blanket method since the pressure value, which enables ply consolidation, reduce the risk of delamination in the composite layers, is less or zero with the wet layup repaired parts with heat blanket compared to repair parts with autoclave pressure.

In this experimental study, an investigation was conducted regarding the tensile strength change of prepreg structures using wet lay-up repair techniques with heat blanket based on the porosity, with a specific focus on stepped-repaired carbon fiber reinforced polymer laminates.

This work aims to understand the strength and the associated failure mechanisms of on-site repaired woven carbon fiber reinforced polymer laminates through experiments. The Automatic Ultrasonic Pulse Echo Inspection Method was utilized to see whether porosity level of each repaired samples is within allowable design limits for this purpose. Prepreg structure's repairs using wet lay-up produced according to standardized aerospace procedures were tested under uniaxial tension per ASTM 3039D. The relationship between attenuation difference (ΔdB) and tensile fracture values has been explored, with a focus on investigating the associated failure mechanisms. Initially, a 60% strength recovery was observed for repairs with an 8-decibel difference. However, as the decibel difference increased, the strength recovery gradually decreased, ultimately reaching 45.2%.
Computational methods for undeciphered scripts
Authors: Corazza Michele
Published: February 2024

The study of ancient, undeciphered scripts through computational means presents unique challenges that depend both on the nature of the problem and on the peculiarities of each writing system. This volume presents two computational approaches that were successfully applied to two writing systems from the Aegean and Cyprus; the success of these endeavors paves the way for new discoveries and methods. The first part features a discussion of the Linear A and Cypro-Minoan writing systems, as well as a background of the computational approaches used. The description of the paleographic and technical aspects is aimed at scholars of both disciplines and provides an extensive background, which is crucial to understanding the goals and methods of this study. The second part is a discussion of the experimental results, which includes a proposed decipherment of the Linear A fractions. Further, the experiments on Cypro-Minoan demonstrate that, contrary to previous hypotheses, it is a single writing system, rather than comprising three separate systems. The two experiments used completely different computational methods, since the method used to decipher Linear A is based on constraint programming, while the Cypro-Minoan experiments are based on a deep learning model. Michele Corazza is a research fellow at the University of Bologna in the field of natural language processing. After obtaining his master’s degree in computer science, he joined the WIMMICS team in INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France, working as a research engineer on the CREEP project, focused on the detection and prevention of cyberbullying online. During this collaboration he developed machine learning models that detect hate speech and cyberbullying on social networks in a multilingual setting. In 2019 he started a PhD at the University of Bologna, joining the INSCRIBE ERC project, which investigates the origin of writing. His PhD studies focused on the development of computational methods based on writing systems in the Aegean and Cyprus, in particular Linear A and Cypro-Minoan. After defending his thesis in 2023, he joined the HyperModeLex ERC project, which is focused on developing AI models to aid in the European legislative process.

Published: February 2024

La competencia del profesorado en materia TIC se plantea como una necesidad, ya que las tecnologías están a la orden del día en todos los ámbitos de la sociedad. En este sentido, es esencial que los docentes que trabajan con alumnado diverso y, más concretamente aquel con autismo, conozcan este tipo de herramientas digitales de cara a una mejora educativa y social de sus estudiantes. Se administró un cuestionario ad hoc, previamente validado, a 27 maestras generalistas de Florencia (Italia), con la finalidad de conocer la formación y experiencia que tenían sobre TIC, así como el uso que de ellas hacían en clase y la frecuencia con las que las utilizaban. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos (porcentajes, media, moda y desviación típica), inferenciales no paramétricos (U Mann-Whitney) y se calculó el tamaño del efecto (d de Cohen). Las docentes manifestaron tener una formación y experiencia media-baja en estos recursos, utilizándolos solo “a veces” principalmente para estimular el desarrollo cognitivo, comunicativo y autónomo y, para la realización de tareas relacionadas con la memoria, la organización y la planificación. Se apreciaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en cuanto a la edad en los ítems vinculados al conocimiento y competencia del docente para utilizar software específico y para localizar materiales específicos en red.

Published: February 2024

During the formation of world aviation, the personal factor was of great importance. History preserves the names of aviation pioneers who tried to realize the dream of human flight. Especially significant today is the origin and development of mechanical (aerodynamic) flight methods. And the role of scientists who have laid the knowledge base on the flight of fixed-wing aircraft (airplanes) is paramount here. We know and remember those whom success has not spared. But hundreds of crashed and ruined, but not conquered aircraft designers still remain in the shadow of history. Therefore, research is still relevant about those whom we should still consider the first, and about those who repeated and improved the principles of human flight on heavier-than-air vehicles.
Enhancing Critical Thinking Through Student Interactions
Authors: Agapov Eva
Published: February 2024

Данное исследование пытается проверить гипотезу о том, что компрометированная автономия ученика мешает студентам проявлять критическое мышление в устных коммуникационных активностях в классах английского языка в японских университетах. Двум группам продвинутых учащихся L2 (N=173) были проведены два опроса. Результаты показали корреляцию между зависимостью от учителя и неспособностью проявлять навыки критического мышления у большинства студентов (N=173). Кроме того, двадцать студентов, которые представляли оставшееся меньшинство, в начальном опросе воспринимали себя как независимые/автономные учащиеся и идентифицировались как ад-хок группа. Во втором опросе ад-хок группа отметила все утвердительные утверждения навыков критического мышления. Несмотря на то, что это небольшая выборка, положительная корреляция между самостоятельным обучением и критическим мышлением требует дальнейшего исследования связи между самостоятельным обучением учащихся и критическим мышлением в обучении английскому языку.
“My Aim is True”: An Attribution-Identity Model of Ally Sincerity
Authors: Moser Charlotte Elizabeth , Wiley Shaun
Published: February 2024

Advantaged group allies have multiple motives for supporting equality, raising questions about their sincerity. We draw upon the covariation model of attributions (Kelley, 1973) to explain how disadvantaged group members make attributions about whether advantaged group “allies” are sincerely motivated to empower the disadvantaged group. We propose an Attribution-Identity Model of Sincerity (AIMS) which posits that disadvantaged group members view advantaged group members as sincere allies when they support equality in the presence of inhibitory and absence of facilitative causes, exceed expectations for the advantaged group, and provide support across time and contexts. Further, those who identify strongly with their disadvantaged group and perceive intergroup inequality as illegitimate are most motivated to ascertain the sincerity of advantaged group members’ allyship. AIMS suggests how members of disadvantaged groups seek to maximize benefits and minimize risks of advantaged group members’ allyship.

A cork borer of 7mm diameter was used for preparing wells in MHA plate in which 70μl of soap samples (100mg/1ml) along with positive control (Ofloxacin) and negative control (distill water) were pouring then incubated at 37°C for 24 hrs to 48 hrs. After incubation, clear zone of inhibition was measured in which antiseptic soaps were found to be highly effective for both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria than other soaps. For total bacterial load reduction (before wash hand and after wash hand with the soaps) from hands of students, antiseptic soaps S1 and S2 showed the higher reduction of bacteria which was 91.3% and 95.91% respectively. It was concluded that hand washing with soaps reduced the daily encountered bacteria as well as human pathogenic bacteria.

Taksim Square is a significant public space in Istanbul, Turkiye, with socio-cultural and historical importance. The square has been known as a platform for expressing political issues and socio-cultural demands. Also, it serves as a unifying hub that fosters social interaction for locals and tourists from different backgrounds. While tourists contribute to the economic activity in the areas concentrated with accommodations and shopping centres, Taksim Square holds a special place for the local community. It serves as a meeting point and holds indispensable value for various aspects of life, including business activities, museums, transportation connectivity, and the presence of nearby educational institutions. Moreover, as a prominent public space in Turkiye, Taksim Square attracts a diverse audience that includes disadvantaged groups such as ethnic minorities, migrants, people with disabilities, the elderly, and children. However, when considering the needs of disadvantaged groups, certain challenges become apparent. These challenges include a lack of green spaces, playgrounds, and facilities, as well as issues related to the organisation and landscape design of the area. Therefore, this research aims to revitalise Taksim Square through the implementation of urban acupuncture, proposing design solutions that cater to the diverse needs of its users. The research emphasises a comprehensive approach that prioritises the needs of disadvantaged groups and environmental considerations while fostering dynamism, security, and the creation of green spaces.

Solving Bernoulli Type Differential Equations Using a Maple Graphical User Interface (GUI) Application
Authors: Muslu Isa
Published: February 2024

Maplets are Java applets, which are written with Maple that hold all the algebraic computational power of Maple. A Maplet contains one or more windows, which interact with the user by means of buttons, checkboxes, text fields, and other standard graphical controls. Almost all of the Maplets that are available with Maple either display something or compute something; it helps to avoid the standard Maple syntax. The Maplets try to improve the students’ intuitive and computational abilities while covering graphical, numerical, and analytical aspects. In this paper, we represent a Maplet application “Solutions of Bernoulli Differential Equations”. The Maplet was developed to solve and to teach the solution methods of a Bernoulli Equation. How to use the developed Maplet was explained in the paper. The developed Maplet for Solving Bernoulli type of equations is pedagogical that they ask a student to do something, provide some hints and guidance along the way, and inform the student if their responses are correct or incorrect. It is also possible to see the graph of the solution displayed on the interface as well.
Iterated SVD for Improving Spectral Resolution of Nonstationary Signal
Authors: MILNIKOV Alexander , DATUASHVILI Davit
Published: February 2024

It is well known and proved already that principal singular vectors of Hankel data matrix repeats same spectral structure and by concatenation, these singular vectors allows us to gain high statistical stability and at the same time improve spectral resolution, but the main question arise; are they working well when frequencies are separated well enough or can they detect hidden periodicities even behind the resolution limit? In this article iterated SVD method is used to increase length of the time series much bigger than single SVD can do and at the same time increase spectral resolution and decrease noise in a new time series at more level then only one SVD can do.
