Authors: Sommerauer Lukas , Konkler Matthew , Presley Gerald , Schnabel Thomas , Petutschnigg Alexander , Hinterstoisser Barbara
Published: March 2024

Bark residues from Douglas fir are an abundant resource that is currently used primarily in low-value energy recovery or is landfilled. Bark extractives are rich in diverse compounds like terpenes, fatty acids, phenols, and sugars with potential uses in a variety of high value applications. The study explores the potential of enzymatic hydrolysis to improve phenolic compounds from Douglas fir bark. It also assesses differences in chemical composition among rhytidome, phloem, and comingled bark fractions from an industrial waste pile. Phloem fractions exhibit higher yields of extractives, rhytidome fractions have elevated lignin levels, while the comingled fraction lies between the two except in ash content which was higher than in the separated fractions. Fungal decay tests with Gloeophyllum trabeum and Coniophora puteana on extract treated wood suggest potential for growth inhibition in extracts, about 58–31 % and 30–7% mass loss (in average) respectively, but due to high mass loss at low concentrations an enzymatic modification approach seems crucial for enhanced inhibition. Growth responses in whole-cell fermentation approach display variability depending on the participating microorganisms. Enzymatic hydrolysis with beta-glucosidase improved the antioxidant properties of bark extracts and holds promise for altering the chemical composition and enhancing bioactivity.

Published: March 2024

The quality of the output produced by the multi-layer perceptron neural network depends on the careful selection of its weights and biases. The gradient descent technique is commonly used for choosing MLP’s optimal configuration, but it can suffer from being stuck in local optima and slow convergence toward promising regions in the search space. In this article, we propose two new optimization algorithms based on the moth-flame optimization algorithm (MFO), which mimics moths’ special navigation methods at night. We use these algorithms to enhance the performance of the training process of the MLP neural network. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, we apply it to the problem of predicting iron ore prices, which plays an important role in the continuous development of the steel industry. We use a large number of features to predict the iron ore price, and we select a promising set of features using two feature reduction methods: Pearson’s correlation and a newly proposed categorized correlation. Surprisingly, new features not mentioned in the literature are discovered, and some are discarded. The time series dataset used has been extracted from several sources and pre-processed to fit the proposed model. We compare our two proposed MFO algorithms, the roulette wheel moth-flame optimization algorithm and the global best moth-flame optimization algorithm, against four swarm intelligence algorithms and five classical machine learning techniques when predicting the iron ore price. The results acquired indicate the superior performance of the suggested algorithms concerning prediction accuracy, root-mean-square error, mean-square error, average absolute relative deviation, and mean absolute error. Overall, our work presents a promising approach for improving the performance of MLP neural networks, and it demonstrates its effectiveness in the challenging problem of predicting iron ore prices.
Causal clauses as source of sentential complementation: cross-linguistic evidence and methodological issues
Authors: Hernáiz Rodrigo
Published: March 2024

In many languages, causal clause markers can also function as – or are formally identical to – complement markers (e.g., Bulgarian če, Twi se, or Latin quod). This isomorphism is often explained as the result of independent developments from a common source (interrogatives, relativizers, etc.). By contrast, it is also frequently accepted that in some cases the aforementioned identity originates in a type of structural change by which causal clauses are eventually reanalysed as factive complements. However, the nature of the proposed CAUSE > COMPLEMENT development, involving both semantic adjustments and syntactic integration, is not yet fully understood, and it remains unclear how recurrent this phenomenon might be from a cross-linguistic perspective. This article aims to shed light on these questions by analysing diachronic and cross-linguistic data and assessing some of the evidence given for the development of complementation from causal adverbial clauses. The observations reveal significant documentation gaps for postulated models of the emergence of complement clauses and highlight methodological issues that qualify previous explanations about the diachronic relationship between causal and complement clauses.
Decarbonizing our environment via the promotion of biomass methanation in developing nations: a waste management tool
Authors: Igwebuike Chidiebere Millicent , Oyegoke Toyese
Published: March 2024

For a long time, fossil fuel has been a part of our everyday lives and has constantly led to the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the environment. The release of methane (CH4) into our surroundings can be caused by the decomposition of organic wastes produced by our daily activities; CH4 produced by human activity is responsible for at least 25 % of global warming. CH4 is a known potent greenhouse gas that can trap about 35 times more heat than CO2. These greenhouse gases play a role in climate change and global warming. It, therefore, becomes important to explore measures for decarbonizing our environment. Biomethane production using our generated waste is a promising decarbonization approach with significant potential for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This paper overviews potential biomass methanation feedstocks and investigates several technologies, such as anaerobic digestion, combined pyrolysis and methanation, and combined gasification and methanation. SWOT analysis of waste conversion to biomethane was conducted, and important points related to the scaling-up of biomethane production processes were outlined. Also, insights into prospects for promoting biomass methanation deployment were provided. In conclusion, biomass methanation has great potential for producing sustainable energy. Hence, collaboration between industrialists, researchers, government agencies, and stakeholders including an understanding of the financial investments, return on investments, or potential subsidies and incentives could enhance the practicality of the proposed solution. Research and development should be continuously carried out as they are necessary to scale up and promote the technology. Also, there should be technical training for stakeholders as it is essential for the smooth development of the sector.

A ideia principal deste projeto é desenvolver um sistema para reparar cabos de aço utilizados em equipamentos de carga e descarga de navios. Embora existam muitos manuais e artigos de manutenção de cabos de diversos fabricantes e fornecedores desta categoria de bens, além das normas e orientações de diversos organismos internacionais, essas recomendações só devem ser utilizadas após conhecimento do local onde serão ser usado. Portanto, este é o ponto que o projeto fala: como adaptar essas referências a essas máquinas, as características construtivas, os preços e as críticas das máquinas, todos esses pontos são considerados após uma ampla revisão de literatura, também conceitos de manutenção industrial. Para que, finalmente, um plano de manutenção possa ser definido e implementado.
Follow the LEAD
Authors: Cox Brendan
Published: March 2024

If we are ever going to be successful at reducing the footprint of the criminal legal system response to people with unmet behavioral health issues, or those living in extreme poverty we need true up-stream solutions. Solutions that include allowing police, system actors and community members an approach that recognizes harm, addresses the needs of people in a humane way, and increases public safety. Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion/Let Everyone Advance with Dignity (LEAD) is that response.

Established in 2011 in Seattle in response to the failed War on Drugs, and its disparate impact on people of color, LEAD seeks to stop the ineffective and often harmful responses of the criminal legal system, while increasing public safety. Instead of continuing the cycle of arrest, LEAD diverts people out of the criminal legal system and into a long-term system of care coordination. A collaborative view of public safety, LEAD initiatives coordinate high level system players while engaging communities in ensuring better outcomes on an individual and community level.

LEAD has been established in jurisdictions across the United States and continues to expand. An evidence-based practice, LEAD has been evaluated in multiple sites and proven an effective response to public safety. LEAD provides the upstream response to system change that is needed in all communities.

The categorization of texts is an application that falls within the discipline of naturallanguage pro­ cessing and is closely related to the concept of classification. Due to the abundant existing infor­ mation becomes necessary to organize, maintain, and process any information available from a deeper knowledge of the language of the support vector machines (MSV) belong to the family of linear classifiers, and can be used to resolve the problem of the categorization of texts(eT) which consists in label text or document with one or severa! predefined thematic categories. The reason which tackles the problem is their application in different scenarios of the area of information retrie­ val (IR) such as the automatic organization of documents, filtering of documents. The approach of the MSV basically considers the following: Given a set of documents D anda set of categories e, it is important to find a function that match toa document d taken from D, a particular category e in C.
Revisión de Técnicas de Análisis de Sentimiento en Redes Sociales
Authors: Motta Ypanaqué Brian Luis , Huayna Dueñas Ana María
Published: March 2024

This article develops a review of the techniques used for sentiment analysis applied to messages on social networks. Sentiment analysis is a task from the field of Artificial Intelligence known as Natural Language Processing and seeks to detect the sentiment polarity expressed by a person in a short message or in a document. Currently there are three types of techniques from which the proposed sentiment analysis models are derived: Lexicons, traditional machine learning and deep learning – in addition to hybrid approaches that combine at least two of these techniques to improve classification performance. Sentiment analysis is a currently-valid task and its importance has grown along with the massification of social networks, which allow a massive generation of text that can be classified.

Authors: Vicente Erick , Rivera Luis , Mauricio David
Published: March 2024

The clustering could be approached as a combinatorial optimization problem when the clusters are a partition of an objects set. The Grasp meta-heuristic is a relatively recent technic that had been used to solve of an e_cient manner several combinatorial optimization problems. In this work, we adapted the Grasp metaheuristic to solve the clustering problem based on the basis of K-Means algorithm. The proposed algorithm, named GraspKM, takes advantages of fast convergence of K-Means algorithm avoiding the inconvenience of obtaining a local optimal. The algorithm shows to be better than KMeans algorithm and it is comparable with another meta-heuristic method reviewed with respect to e_ciency. The computational experiments had been realized with a data collection extensively used on clustering literature.

A mini review on the ballistic protection performance of 2D and 3D woven fabric structures woven from technical yarns for body armormaterials in military application
Authors: Turşucular Ömer Fırat
Published: March 2024

This mini-compilation study included a review study conducted on the ballistic protection performances of 2D and 3D structured woven fabric structures for body armor materials in military applications. As conclusion, orthogonal type 3D woven fabric structures have higher ballistic protection performance compared to conventional 2D woven fabric structures by locking the high-performance yarns used and preventing slippage between layers. It is recommended to use ceramic-structured front plates such as B4C to break armor-piercing bullets, reduce penetration, and absorb a significant portion of their high kinetic energy. UHMWPE, PPD-T, and PBO technical yarns, which have fine yarn counts (between 466 dtex and 933 dtex) can be produced by 1x1 plain woven fabric construction as woven fabric structures (lamina). They must have also high warp and weft density values ​​(between 30 and 40 warp/cm and weft/cm), and orthogonal 3D woven fabric structure, high warp, and weft yarn tension (between 20 cN and 50 cN per warp yarn), 160 rpm as production speed, and multi-layered (between 13 layers and 16 layers in lamina form) in honeycomb (sandwich) geometry. Moreover, the impregnation process can be applied with CaCO3, SiO2, PVB, or CNT particles (in the particle size range of 100 nm to 400 nm) with chemicals such as PEG (in the range of 60% to 75% concentrations), in the range of 80 °C to 160 °C temperatures and between 1 hour and 3 hours. Coating (STF applications) is extremely important and successful for ballistic protection performance at IIIA, III and IV levels for NIJ standards. Future studies should include orthogonal 3D structured woven fabric applications from UHMWPE, PPD-T, or PBO technical yarns by applying STF technology in this field. They should be also examined comparatively from an experimental perspective.

СОЦІОГЕНЕЗ КУЛЬТУРНО-ІСТОРИЧНИХ МАТРИЦЬ РЕГУЛЯЦІЇ ЖИТТЄВИХ ДОМАГАНЬ ОСОБИСТОСТІ
Authors: Батраченко І. Г. , Плошинська А. А. , Склянська О. В.
Published: March 2024

Встановлено, що процеси породження та регуляції реалізації життєвих домагань особистості базуються на філогенетичній та культурно-історичній матрицях, які проходять низку етапів у процесі соціогенезу. При цьому первісна філогенетична матриця увесь цей час лишається сталою і має коріння у власних інтенціях людської природи та обмежується переважно екосистемою й соціальними інстинктами. У розвинутих аграрних суспільствах, коли людина стала менш залежною від природних екосистем, з’являється теократична матриця регуляції життєвих домагань, яка будується для обмеження первісних інтенцій в умовах цивілізованого суспільства, коли можливості для вдоволення людських потреб якісно зросли в умовах натурального господарювання. Теократична матриця, що особливо виразно представлена в концепціях семи смертних гріхів, постає як антитеза первісній. Наступний крок у культурно-історичному розвитку регуляції життєвих домагань особистості історично постає у форматі технократичної матриці, яка в розвинутих індустріальних суспільствах формується як антитеза теократичній, яка вже створює обмеження не лише для первісних людських інтенцій, але й для зростання товарообороту в ринковій системі, якій стає потрібною вже не як обмеження, а як стимуляція людських потреб. Аргументовано, що за нових історичних умов технократична матриця вибудовується як антитеза теократичній, знімаючи обмеження на домагання та стимулюючи гіперінтенції, що сприяє зростанню ринкової економіки. Як і теократична, технократична матриця, переживши етапи зародження і підйому, нині виходить на стадію кризи, де деструктивні складники починають переважати над конструктивними. Показано, що нині увиразнюється формування нової ноократичної матриця регуляції життєвих домагань особистості, яка виступає як новий синтез попередніх альтернативних матриць у пошуках коеволюції з природою довкілля, людиною й суспільством, сприяючи створенню ноосфери та екогуманістичного підходу до соціального розвитку.
ФЕНОМЕН САМООЦІНКИ У ПСИХОЛОГІЧНОМУ ДИСКУРСІ
Authors: Зарицька В. В. , Козаченко Д. С.
Published: March 2024

У статті наведено теоретичний аналіз самооцінки як важливого критерію становлення особистості. Самооцінка особистості є показником її індивідуальності, яка формується під дією та впливом різних чинників, таких як Я-реальне і Я-ідеальне. Розкрито рівні самооцінки: завищена, занижена та адекватна. Обґрунтовано, що людина не народжується із відповідним рівнем самооцінки, її формує оточення. Проблема формування самооцінки особистості є однією з найважливіших та актуальних у психології, бо самооцінка є однією з головних умов, завдяки яким індивід стає особистістю. Вона формує у індивіда потребу відповідати не тільки рівню оточення, але і рівню власних особистісних оцінок. Правильно сформована самооцінка являє собою не просто знання самого себе, сукупність окремих характеристик, це певне ставлення до себе. Самооцінка є центральною ланкою довільної саморегуляції, визначає напрямок і рівень активності людини, її ставлення до світу, до людей, до самого себе. Самооцінка – складний за психологічною природою феномен, який включений у безліч зв’язків та відносин з усіма психічними утвореннями особистості. Вона є важливої детермінанти всіх форм і видів її діяльності і спілкування. Основи вміння оцінювати себе закладаються в ранньому дитинстві, а розвиток і вдосконалення його відбувається протягом усього життя людини. Самооцінка впливає на стійкість особистості незалежно від мінливих ситуацій, забезпечуючи можливість залишатися самим собою. Нині все більш очевидний вплив самооцінки особистості на її поведінку та міжособистісне спілкування. Таким чином, самооцінка – це оцінка особистістю самої себе, своїх можливостей, якостей та значущості серед інших людей.

Статтю присвячено обґрунтуванню необхідності візуалізації навчального контенту під час дистанційного навчання. Теоретично проаналізовано та обґрунтовано особливості та труднощі дистанційного навчання, серед яких індивідуально-психологічні та суто технічні. Теоретично обґрунтовано важливість врахування здібностей та індивідуально-психологічних характеристик у процесі дистанційного навчання на прикладі провідних репрезентативних систем. Емпірично доведено, що серед здобувачів вищої освіти ДНУ імені Олеся Гончара переважають здобувачі освіти, які надають перевагу візуальному сприйняттю, дещо меншу кількість становлять здобувачі, які мають аудіальну репрезентативну систему, і в найменшої кількості здобувачів освіти провідною є кінестетична або дискретна репрезентативні системи. Обґрунтовано, що за умов дистанційного навчання у вигляді читання лекцій, ефективний контакт відбувається переважно зі студентами-аудіалами, а їх кількість статистично менша порівняно зі студентами візуалами, кінестетами та дискретами. Для підвищення ефективності освітніх послуг важливо у вигляді навчального контенту ширше застосовувати наочність: презентації, відеоматеріали, віртуальні («розумні») дошки, на яких можна подати формули, графіки, схеми, проєктні заняття з використанням інтерактивних прийомів для посилення взаємодії учасників та забезпечення емоційного контакту. Теоретично та емпірично обґрунтовано, що забезпечення індивідуального підходу сприятиме психологічній безпеці здобувачів освіти, підвищить ефективність освітнього процесу навіть за умов дистанційного навчання.

У статті розглянуто основні підходи та методи вивчення мовленнєвої поведінки, а також їх застосування в сучасних психологічних дослідженнях. Представлено результати пілотажного дослідження щодо використання ненормативної лексики серед українців у процесі міжособистісного спілкування. Проаналізовано ставлення українського суспільства до феномену активізації застосування нецензурної лексики під час російсько-української війни. Висвітлено соціально-психологічні фактори, які актуалізують деструктивні форми мовленнєвої поведінки та сприяють порушенню нормативності мовлення. Запропоновано ідею про наявність психолінгвістичних, соціальних та індивідуально-психологічних механізмів породження деструктивних патернів мовленнєвої поведінки в комунікативному процесі. Описано особливості трансформації мовленнєвої поведінки українців та лінгвістичні маркери репрезентації травматичного досвіду, обумовленого війною. У ході проведеного пілотажного дослідження встановлено особливості використання нецензурної лексики в колі найближчого оточення, проаналізовано особливості мовленнєвої поведінки в емоціогенних ситуаціях, визначено особливості зворотного зв’язку в ситуаціях порушення нормативності мовлення. Зазначено, що ненормативна лексика в період російсько-української війни стає інструментом зниження емоційного напруження та проявом вербальної агресії як форми захисного механізму психіки, а також наміром продемонструвати своє ставлення до політики недружнього сусіда. Встановлено, що мовленнєва поведінка є динамічним та складним психологічним феноменом, і вона може змінюватися не завжди в позитивний бік. Підкреслено важливість комплексного та міждисциплінарного підходу до вивчення мовленнєвої поведінки та розробки психотерапевтичних програм щодо запобігання порушення нормативності мовлення. Наведені результати анкетування переконливо доводять та підтверджують актуальність і перспективність подальшого аналізу цієї проблеми.

In vitro evaluation of anti-trichomonal potential of Psidium guajava leaf essential oil and its main components against trophozoites of Trichomonas gallinae
Authors: Akbarian J. , Youssefi M. R. , Tabari M. A.
Published: March 2024

Trichomoniasis is a protozoan disease caused by Trichomonas gallinae that mainly affects the upper digestive and respiratory tracts of columbiforms. Metronidazole has been used for many years for the control of trichomoniasis, however, in recent years, there were several reports on resistant T. gallinae strains. Psidium guajava, a well-known medicinal plant species, possesses several biological activities including anti-protozoal effects. Considering growing interest on plant and plant-derived compounds as alternative sources of bioactive chemicals, the present study was performed to evaluate the anti-trichomonal potential of P. guajava leave essential oil (EO) and its main components on T. gallinae trophozoites. EO was extracted from plant fresh leaves by steam distillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was performed for identification of the constituents. In vitro susceptibility assay was done in sterile multiwell plates incubated with the trophozoites and the corresponding concentrations of tested compounds. Metronidazole was used as the standard anti-trichomonal drug. Mortality rates were evaluated by eosin staining and recorded every 12 h for 2 days. The EO composition was dominated by the β-caryophyllene (30.2%) and α-pinene (18.3%). A significant effect of concentration of the tested compound and time of exposure was noted in the toxicity of the EO and its main constituents. Based on the 12 h fifty percent lethal concentrations (LC50), β-caryophyllene was the most potent anti-trichomonal agent, with LC50 of 0.32 µg/mL. Considering the natural source of β-caryophyllene and its reported low cytotoxicity and promising anti-trichomonal efficacy, this compound can be considered as a candidate ingredient for the develop­ment of green antitrichomonal agents.

Haemonchosis is one of the most important parasitic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract of small ruminants in different parts of Iran and worldwide. While the disease poses major economic problems in the livestock industry, there are many reports on parasites’ resistance to benzimidazoles necessita­ting to study of the level of this drug resistance in pathogens. The aim of this study was to evaluate the drug resistance of Haemonchus contortus to benzimidazole using molecular method in sheep from the North region of Iran. In this study, the resistance to benzimidazole was investigated using the PCR-RFLP method in the nematode Haemonchus contortus from sheep slaughtered in the northern region of Iran (Gilan and Mazandaran provinces). The samples examined in this study were evaluated between April 2020 and September 2021 from a total of 2400 sheep by determining the age groups of <2 years, 2-4 years, and >4 years. Three hundred Haemonchus contortus nematodes were randomly selected and investigated by means of PCR-RFLP and using TaaI endonuclease enzyme (SNP) in the beta-tubulin gene, responsible for drug resistance of Haemonchus contortus to benzimidazole. Haemonchus contortus was found in 66.8% and 60.5% of sheep in Gilan and Mazandaran. The results of the study showed that the drug sensitivity rate was 24% (72/300), the drug resistance rate was 54% (162/300) and 22% (66/300) of the samples had both resistant and sensitive alleles. Presented data showed a high level of prevalence of drug resistance in the nematode Haemonchus contortus in sheep in the northern region of Iran, which requires special attention to control the development of this resistance and the epidemic of haemonchosis in ruminants.

Incidence rates of human Campylobacter jejuni infections are progressively increasing globally. Since the risk for the development of post-infectious autoimmune diseases correlates with the severity of the preceding enteritis and campylobacteriosis treatment usually involves symptomatic measures, it is desirable to apply antibiotic-independent compounds to treat or even prevent disease. Given its health-promoting including anti-inflammatory properties carvacrol constitutes a promising candidate. This prompted us to test the disease-alleviating including immune-modulatory effects of carvacrol prophylaxis in acute murine campylobacteriosis. Therefore, human gut microbiota-associated IL-10−/− mice were orally challenged with synthetic carvacrol starting a week before C. jejuni infection and followed up until day 6 post-infection. Whereas carvacrol prophylaxis did neither affect gastrointestinal pathogen loads, nor the human commensal gut microbiota composition, it improved the clinical outcome of mice, attenuated colonic epithelial cell apoptosis, and dampened pro-inflammatory immune responses not only in the intestinal tract but also in extra-intestinal organs including the liver and the spleen. In conclusion, our preclinical placebo-controlled intervention study provides convincing evidence that oral carvacrol pretreatment constitutes a promising option to mitigate acute campylobacteriosis and in turn, to reduce the risk for post-infectious complications.

Background: Flatfoot affects postural control by altering the biomechanics of the lower limb, sensory input, and proprioception. Poor static and dynamic balance can influence the physical performance of competitive sports athletes and increase the risk of lower limb injury. Footprint analysis using Clarke’s angle (CA) is easy to perform and has good diagnostic performance as an alternative flatfoot assessment for a large athlete population. Our study aims to determine the effect of CA variability on the static and dynamic balance of different sports using the one-leg stance (OLS) and star excursion balance test (SEBT).
Methods: This is an analytic observational study with a retrospective cohort design. Medical record data from 209 athletes’ feet from 11 sports were collected to determine the subjects’ characteristics and research variables. Curve estimation and regression tests were performed to assess the effect of CA variability on the OLS and normalized reach distance of SEBT (NSEBT).
Results: The mean CA of all athletes was 44.82±11.14o. The mean time of OLS of all athletes was 47.78±40.54 seconds. The least and the farthest average normalized reach distance was done in the anterolateral direction (79.06±11.88 %) and posterior direction (93.45±18.98 %). There is no effect of CA variability on the OLS of all sports, male and female athletes. There is an effect of CA variability on the OLS of Wushu athletes, also on the NSEBT of whole athletes (lateral, posterolateral, posterior, posteromedial directions; male athletes (posterolateral direction); female athletes (anteromedial direction); and different sports, includes athletic (anterolateral, lateral, posterolateral, posterior, posteromedial, medial, anteromedial direction); fencing (anterolateral direction); and running (anterolateral, lateral, posterior, posteromedial, medial, anteromedial, composite directions).
Conclusion: Clarke’s angle variability significantly affects the static balance of Wushu athletes and the dynamic balance of athletes in athletics, fencing, and running.
