This study assessed the search for technical assistance in Brazilian coffee production and analyzed its correlation with the levels of management and size of rural firms, producing regions and with the adoption of agricultural certifications. It was applied the Management Degree Identification Method (MIGG) to 1174 companies and it was used descriptive statistics. In firms that seek technical assistance and participate in collective organizations, management levels are higher than in others. Adherence to collective organizations is greater among certified firms and among large companies, and the search for technical assistance outside those organizations is greater in smallholdings.

Authors: Ferreira Brabo Marcos , Felipe da Trindade Pessoa Romulo , Pinheiro Rodrigues Renato , dos Santos Pinheiro Junior Arlindo , Abreu Vasconcelos Campelo Daniel , Crovatto Veras Galileu
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to analyze the cost of production and the profitability of creating pirarucu in nurseries excavated in different economic scenarios in the state of Pará. The price of inputs was consulted in the municipalities of Igarapé-açu, Castanhal and Goianésia, while the price of the first commercialization of the product was obtained in Quatipuru and Paragominas, between January to August 2018. Subsequently, four economic scenarios were projected, varying the apparent feed conversion and the price of the product. It was concluded that the creation of pirarucu in excavated nurseries, with feed as the only source of food, does not represent a profitable investment in Pará.

Estudio de prevalencia de lesiones laríngeas y disfagia en pacientes críticos traqueostomizados por COVID-19
Authors: Falduti Alejandra K. , Chiappero Guillermo R. , Catini María Eugenia
Published: November 2022

Introducción: Los pacientes con neumonía grave por COVID-19 pueden requerir in­tubación orotraqueal, ventilación mecánica prolongada y traqueostomía. La presencia de la vía aérea artificial puede generar lesiones laríngeas y estar asociada a disfunción deglutoria con aumento del riesgo de aspiración.

Objetivo: Describir la prevalencia de lesiones laríngeas y disfagia orofaríngea en los pacientes críticos traqueostomizados por COVID-19. Como objetivo secundario, evaluar la asociación entre la presencia de lesión laríngea y disfagia y de cada una de ellas con antecedentes del paciente, duración de la vía aérea artificial y maniobra de decúbito prono.

Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, longitudinal y retrospectivo, realizado en el hospital Juan A. Fernández, CABA, Argentina. Se incluyeron de manera consecu­tiva pacientes con diagnóstico de COVID-19 traqueostomizados. La presencia de le­siones laríngeas y disfagia se valoró mediante estudio endoscópico de la deglución al momento de la decanulación.

Resultados: Se analizaron 32 pacientes, de los cuales, 28 (87,5%) evidenciaron al menos una lesión laríngea, principalmente en la región glótica. La prevalencia de disfagia fue de 65,6% (21/32). No se encontró asociación significativa entre lesiones laríngeas y disfagia (p = 0,70).

Conclusión: En esta cohorte de pacientes, las lesiones laríngeas y la disfagia fueron altamente prevalentes. La evaluación precoz mediante endoscopia de la deglución nos ha facilitado un diagnóstico oportuno para guiar el tratamiento de manera indi­vidual hasta la decanulación y resolución de la disfagia encontrada.
Poczucie samotności mieszkańców domów pomocy społecznej dla osób w podeszłym wieku
Authors: Mielczarek Andrzej
Published: November 2022

Starość nie jest atrakcyjną fazą życia, ponieważ niesie za sobą szereg konsekwencji dla państwa i seniorów; jest źródłem troski i walki o nich w życiu, niesie ryzyko wieluchorób, jest źródłem zmagań życiowych oraz zmusza do reorganizacji dotychczasowego życia. Starości towarzyszą liczne kryzysy, do których należy m.in. samotność. Szczególnie odczuwają samotność mieszkańcy domów pomocy społecznej, co wiąże się z silnymi emocjami i stresem. Wynika to z faktu, że te instytucje w społeczeństwie nie zawsze są postrzegane jako ideał spędzenia starości. Warto zastanowić się nadprzyczynami i charakterem tego problemu, aby podjąć odpowiednie działania, aby wyprowadzić seniora z samotności i zapobiec temu zjawisku.
A városi hőszigethatás mérséklése a párolgás növelésével
Authors: Báder László , Ungvári Gábor
Published: November 2022

Az éghajlatváltozással, globális felmelegedéssel növekszik mind az épített, mind a természeti környezet hőterhelése. A sűrűn beépített területeken úgynevezett városi hősziget jelenség alakul ki. Munkánkban az alapvető fizikai folyamatok felől közelítjük meg a problémát, és inkább a kiváltó okokat, mint a következményeket vizsgáljuk. Emlékeztetünk a hőtani jellemzők fontosságára, hogy a víz melegítéskor a betonnál 5-ször több hőt képes felvenni, elpárolgásakor pedig még 2 nagyságrenddel többet. Egy nyári csapadékeseményt elemezve bemutatjuk, hogy a víz és annak párolgása különleges, semmivel nem pótolható energiaszállító szerepet tölt be a hőmérséklet-különbségek kiegyenlítésében. Az adatok és a hétköznapi tapasztalatok alapján javaslatot teszünk az aktív árnyék és a passzív árnyék fogalmak bevezetésére. Használatuk közérthetővé teheti, hogy miért lényeges a zöld területek (ligetek, lugasok, zöld tetők, parkok) megtartása és területük növelése a hősziget jelenség hatásainak mérsékléséhez. Tanulmányunk célja, hogy felhívja a figyelmet, az élhető környezeti viszonyok megtartásához mindenhol kiemelt figyelmet kell fordítani a vízkör (hidrológiai ciklus) kiegyensúlyozott működőképességének és hatékonyságának helyreállítására – belterületeken és külterületeken egyaránt.

Authors: Semenova G. I. , Bykova V. V.
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the professional orientation of senior and junior school students in the direction of "physical culture". The questionnaire "Research of the professional orientation of bachelors of the direction of physical culture" was compiled, which included questions with multiple answers and open-ended questions. The study involved 30 undergraduate students of the Ural Federal University with a degree in Physical Education. It was found that students with vocational education have a higher level of career guidance and self-determination. There is no vocational guidance in the junior courses, and the third-year students by the end of the third year have not decided on the final direction of their professional activity. As a result, it can be established that vocational guidance work should be carried out at all stages of study at the university.

De Buenaventura al Caribe: el Ferrocarril del Pacífico y la conexión Interoceánica (1872-2012)
Authors: Correa Restrepo Juan Santiago
Published: November 2022

De Buenaventura al Caribe: el ferrocarril del Pacífico y la conexión interoceánica (1872-2012) permite analizar la vía férrea en operación más antigua del país y la primera que se entendió como un proyecto de carácter nacional. Su construcción comenzó en medio de un proceso de cambio político importante que llevó a configurar al país en un modelo federal, al tiempo que se perfilaba un cambio en sus condiciones económicas. Esta línea no se limitó a la interconexión de los mercados locales con los internacionales, sino que representó complejos procesos de reordenamiento territorial y de realineamiento de los poderes regionales, lo cual, para el Gran Cauca, significó uno de los elementos centrales en el surgimiento de una subregión pujante y dinámica alrededor de un nuevo centro político y económico: el Valle del Cauca y Cali.
Del Mercado al Mercadeo
Authors: Torres Hurtado Carlos
Published: November 2022

La actividad comercial ha estado presente desde los albores de la humanidad. Es algo tan natural que aparece en la historia como presente en las culturas y civilizaciones sin que haya habido un esfuerzo intelectual por analizarla y crear un cuerpo de doctrina a su alrededor. Algunas pocas descripciones de su actividad aparecen en los escritos antiguos, y las personas a cargo de esa función no fueron reconocidas como importantes en la estructura política y social de las civilizaciones. Se les llamó "mercaderes" y cumplieron un papel de servicio básico no destacable entre los grandes poderes militares, políticos, conquistadores, religiosos, navegantes, filósofos, científicos que dominaron en las sucesivas etapas de la historia. De esta manera, se fue formando el estereotipo del "vendedor puerta a puerta" o del "mercader" que buscaba engatusar a sus clientes en precios y calidades.
Η αμερικανική προσέγγιση - Ημερολόγιο μιας επίσκεψης με επίκεντρο την αντιμετώπιση του προβλήματος των ναρκωτικών το 1967
Authors: Edwards Griffith
Published: November 2022

Το 1965 η Βρετανική κυβέρνηση αναγκάστηκε να παραδεχτεί ότι η χώρα αντιμετώπιζε αυξανόμενο πρόβλημα χρήσης ηρωίνης με την αγορά να εφοδιάζεται κυρίως μέσω συνταγογράφησης από ιδιώτες γιατρούς. Ανάμεσα στις επίσημες προσπάθειες αντιμετώπισης αυτής της – όπως θεωρούσαν τότε – ιδιαίτερα ανησυχητικής κατάστασης για τη δημόσια υγεία ήταν και η απόφαση χρηματοδότησης ίδρυσης της Μονάδας Έρευνας για τις Εξαρτήσεις (Addiction Research Unit: ARU) στο Ινστιτούτο Ψυχιατρικής του Λονδίνου. Το Εθνικό Ινστιτούτο Ψυχικής Υγείας των Η.Π.Α. (US National Institute of Mental Health: NIMH) χρηματοδότησε γενναιόδωρα μία ερευνητική επίσκεψη του ορισθέντος διευθυντή της Μονάδας Έρευνας για τις Εξαρτήσεις λίγο πριν από την έναρξη λειτουργίας του Βρετανικού ερευνητικού κέντρου. Εκτεταμένες σημειώσεις της επίσκεψης περιλαμβάνουν τις επαφές με διοικητές, ερευνητές, γιατρούς, ιερείς, αστυνομικούς της δίωξης ναρκωτικών αλλά και εξαρτημένους. Ένα πλήθος συχνά αντικρουόμενων συμβουλών και συστάσεων οδήγησε σε κάποια συμπεράσματα. Συγκεκριμένα, αυτά περιλαμβάνουν την ανάγκη κατανόησης του τρόπου με τον οποίο κάθε χώρα αντιμετωπίζει το πρόβλημα των ναρκωτικών ως ένα δυναμικό, πολύ-παραγοντικό συνολικό σύστημα – δηλαδή την ανάγκη για μία ολιστική «εθνική αντιμετώπιση». Ένα ακόμα συμπέρασμα ήταν οι απόψεις της ίδιας της πολιτικής ως ένα πολύπλοκο θέμα προς ανάλυση: η πολιτική αντιμετώπισης των ναρκωτικών θα πρέπει να αποτελεί αντικείμενο έρευνας όπως και η ίδια η χρήση. Πέραν των γενικών αυτών συμπερασμάτων η εμπειρία προσέφερε πολλά στοιχεία για την ανάπτυξη του Βρετανικού ερευνητικού προγράμματος για τις εξαρτήσεις, ενώ παράλληλα αποτέλεσε το έναυσμα για τη δημιουργία διαπροσωπικών σχέσεων ανεκτίμητης αξίας.

Perspective Chapter: Device, Electronic, Technology for a M.E.M.S. Which Allow the Extraction of Vacuum Energy Conform to Emmy Noether Theorem
Authors: Sangouard Patrick
Published: November 2022

This theoretical work corresponds to the hope of extracting, without contradicting EMMY NOETHER’s theorem, an energy present throughout the universe: that of the spatial quantum vacuum! This article shows that it should be theoretically possible to maintain a continuous periodic vibration of a piezoelectric structure, which generates current peaks during a fraction of the vibration period. Electronics without any power supply then transform these alternating current signals into a usable direct voltage. To manufacture these different structures, we also present an original microtechnology for producing the regulation and transformation electronics, as well as that necessary for controlling the very weak interfaces between the Casimir electrodes and that of the return electrodes! These vibrations are obtained by controlling automatically and at appropriate instants the action of the attractive Casimir force by a repulsive Coulomb force applied to return electrodes. The Casimir force appearing between the two electrodes of a reflector deforms a piezoelectric bridge, inducing a displacement of the barycenter of the ionic electric charges of the bridge. This internal piezoelectric field attracts opposing moving charges, from the mass, on either side of the piezoelectric bridge used by the Coulomb force used to generate an opposing Coulomb force.

Authors: Coşkun Adnan Batuhan , Yüzer Alsaç Selda
Published: November 2022

: In this report, we present a case of an infant with detectable antibodies in the umbilical cord blood who was born to a healthcare professional mother diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) before pregnancy and recovered, and also discuss the antibody level in light of relevant literature. Data consisted of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test and negative pre-pregnancy repeat real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test of a 29-year-old medical doctor mother, follow-up antibody test results in pregnancy, and antibodies detected in the cord blood of the newborn after birth. The study data were collected through face-to-face interviews with the mother. In conclusion, this case shows that SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies can be detected in the baby’s cord blood immediately after birth from a mother who was diagnosed with COVID-19 before becoming pregnant and subsequently recovered with pharmacological treatment.

Authors: Alizadeh Ghavidel Alireza , Zargar Seyyed Sadegh , Abo Aljadayel Hadi , Baharestani Bahador , Gholampour Dehaki Maziar , Totonchi Ziae
Published: November 2022

Background: There are many surgical methods used to treat sinus of Valsalva aneurysms, and these methods vary depending on the surgical team's expertise and the patient's health, which has an impact on the surgical outcomes. Objectives: In our study, we evaluated the midterm outcomes of a single center's highly skilled surgical team. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study the clinical data of 42 consecutive patients from November 1, 2005 to 21 august 2018 were reviewed and early and mid-term results were assessed. Twenty-two patients (53%) were presented with ruptured aneurysms; 8 of these patients (28.5%) had their aneurysms repaired with a double patch and an AV repair; nonetheless, 20 patients (46.6%) required valve replacement. Results: It was found that there was no bicuspid valve in our patients, no correlation between the presence of VSD and the severity of aortic insufficiency in our series (P = 0.89), and the severity of aortic insufficiency increased when the Valsalva aneurysm ruptured into the heart chambers. There was a strong association between female gender and ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysms (P = 0.02, AI severity, P = 0.05, aortic valve surgery, P = 0.03, and total AV replacement, P = 0.001). RSOV and the likelihood of a heart block did not correlate in our series (P = 0. 29). Conclusions: Results from one surgical team, particularly when the same specialist is making decisions, are more trustworthy. Excellent long-term outcomes are obtained, and rupture of the SOV is linked to an increase in AI and, ultimately, to aortic valve surgery, primarily AV replacement. Using patch technique for closing fistulas does not increase the post op arrhythmia.
Fascia Repair with Vicryl Suture in Urologic Surgeries
Authors: Mohseni Rad Hamed
Published: November 2022

Background: Closing the fascia after surgery should be quick, easy, and strong but comfortable for the patient. Polydioxanone thread is not available in Iran. Thus, we used Vicryl sutures for almost all patients. Methods: This study was conducted at Imam Reza and Imam Khomeini Medical Centers in Ardabil from January 2018 to January 2020. The fascia was continuously sutured with size 0 or 1 of Vicryl in a double layer for all patients in the Urology Department. Results: Here, 642 patients were evaluated in two years. The fascia suturing was at the site of the inguinal, midline Gibson, and flank areas. The data showed that incisional hernia and infection were more prevalent in obese and diabetic patients. We had no incisional complications in radical cystectomy or even kidney transplantation, which are complicated and time-consuming surgeries. Overall, the surgical site complication rate (including incisional hernia and surgical site infection) was 0.9%, which could be negligible. Conclusions: The fascia repair could be treated with Vicryl suture in a continuous form in all urologic surgeries, with a very low rate of wound infection and hernia at the operation site, sinus formation, and long-term surgical site discomfort. However, we suggest more research to confirm the Vicryl suture safety in urologic fascia repairs.

Methods: A mixed-method approach using both qualitative interviews (n = 8 adults with PFPS) and quantitative usability evaluations (n = 30, including 15 adults with PFPS and 15 physical therapists as experts) was adopted. Results: The results showed high levels of system usability (75.1 out of 100) and the mHealth App usability (127.2/147). Conclusions: This study can contribute to the design and development of the physical therapy mHealth app to provide evidence-based therapeutic exercise and remotely monitor adults with chronic pain conditions, including PFPS.
Exploring Teaching Conceptions and Practices: A Qualitative Study with Higher Education Teachers in Portugal
Authors: De Almeida Marta Mateus , Viana Joana , Alves Mariana Gaio
Published: November 2022

In recent decades, several international political guidelines have encouraged the reconfiguration of teachers’ ways of being and acting, specifically arguing for the rejection of the conception of a teacher who holds and transmits knowledge, with inevitable implications for pedagogical practices. Therefore, it is particularly relevant to gain an understanding of teachers’ conceptions and practices, exploring the extent to which they are reconfigured throughout training and professional development processes. With this general objective, a qualitative study is presented, drawing on the content analysis of written testimonies and individual portfolios produced by a group of 24 academics involved in a post-graduate degree course in higher education pedagogy at the University of Lisbon in the academic years 2019/20 and 2020/21. The results suggest a dominant professional conception, embedded in the artisanal paradigm and in line with a teaching conception based on the transmission of knowledge. However, there are signs that teachers challenge this vision of professionalism, revealing diverse conceptions about the profession as well as conceptions about teaching and learning aligned with different types of pedagogical orientation. The study also shows how formal pedagogical training might support changes in teachers’ conceptions about their profession and about the meaning of teaching and learning, with effects on teaching practices and on the quality of student learning.
Utilizing Informal Formative Assessment and Dialogicity During Reflections on Educational Dialogue in Mathematics
Authors: Lehesvuori Sami , Ketonen Laura , Hähkiöniemi Markus
Published: November 2022

In this study, educational dialogue is explored through informal formative assessment and dialogicity. We enhance the understanding of informal formative assessment and dialogicity by considering their relationship. Even though the interconnection of informal formative assessment and dialogicity is acknowledged, it has not been explicitly examined in research on educational dialogue. The data consists of video-stimulated joint reflections between mathematics student teachers and a teacher educator. The reflections were part of a teacher education program integrated in a mathematics pedagogic course. Conversational analysis was conducted to detect interactional patterns and indicators that emerged from the data. The findings show how the presence and absence of single informal formative assessment moves, such as recognizing and using learners’ ideas, contribute differently to dialogicity and educational dialogue.
A Narrative Review of Eye-tracking Research on Self-regulated Learning from Multimedia Learning Materials in Higher Education
Authors: Dostálová Nicol , Juhaňák Libor , Plch Lukáš
Published: November 2022

This study provides a narrative review of current eye-tracking research on self-regulated learning from multimedia learning materials in higher education. The main aim of the review is to explore how eye tracking is used in self-regulated learning research when learning from multimedia materials in university students. Other specific aims were established: 1) to identify what self-regulated learning processes are explored with eye tracking while learning from multimedia materials, 2) to determine what methods are used to explore self-regulated learning processes with eye tracking, 3) to find what structures and stimuli are used in eye-tracking experiments when studying self-regulated learning processes, and 4) to investigate what eye-tracking metrics are used to study self-regulated learning processes in learning from multimedia materials. To accomplish these aims, we analyzed 11 empirical studies published between 2012 and 2021. The results show that 1) current studies focus on self-regulated learning processes, such as judgments of learning, metacognitive monitoring, meta-comprehension, and learning strategies, 2) studies are quantitative and use experimental designs, specific stimuli, and distinct structures, and 4) studies are mainly focused on the fixations, saccades, and transitions between selected areas of interest in the data analyses. The results of this narrative review can indicate new directions for future research in this field.
The Role of Peer Learning among University Teachers in Integrating Digital Technologies into Higher Education Teaching
Authors: Nekardová Barbora
Published: November 2022

The article is based on research aimed at exploring how teachers from the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University integrated digital technologies into their teaching in connection with the transition to emergency remote teaching. The main research question was aimed at identifying the role played by peer learning among university teachers in integrating digital technologies into higher education teaching. The data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with 34 teachers from the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University in the fall semester of 2020. The results indicate that although teachers valued the support of a technological workplace, they more strongly considered consultations with and advice from their colleagues. I identified four main roles played by peer learning among university teachers in integrating digital technologies into higher education teaching. The roles are: offering emotional support, understanding needs, providing intelligible advice, and mediating experience. I also address two limitations to peer learning that need to be considered: the limited variety of technological tools and fragmented and unsubstantiated procedures. Studies have repeatedly shown that peer learning plays a long-term role in the process of integrating and adapting technologies into higher education; however, until now we have lacked information on the significance of peer learning for teachers in integrating digital technologies and on its limitations, both of which I address in this study.
Big Data e Inteligencia Artificial en los procesos de fiscalización de la Subsecretaría de Estado de Tributación (SET) al 2021
Authors: Von Schmeling González Rosmery
Published: November 2022

El empleo de los macrodatos o Big Data por parte de las Administraciones Tributarias, junto con el uso de las herramientas de Inteligencia Artificial, tiene una enorme relevancia en la actual aplicación de los tributos. Las Administraciones Tributarias emplean el Big Data y la Inteligencia Artificial, en la selección de contribuyentes para iniciar un procedimiento de inspección tributaria, en los modelos predictivos del riesgo de incumplimiento del obligado tributario, en los asistentes virtuales, en la confección de borradores de declaraciones tributarias, en la actuación administrativa automatizada y en los actos resolutorios automatizados. La utilización de estas herramientas tecnológicas debe caracterizarse por un cumplimiento estricto de los principios jurídicos que rigen la aplicación de los tributos y debe ser respetuosa con los derechos y garantías del contribuyente. Una vez analizado los elementos, la autora concluye entre otras cosas que: El Big Data y la IA se usan con la finalidad de valorar riesgos fiscales, lo que permite segmentar a los contribuyentes en función de la probabilidad de incumplimiento, iniciándose los controles en los supuestos de mayor probabilidad de fraude. En el futuro se estima llegar a todos los ámbitos y procedimientos tributarios, a todas las funciones y competencias de las Administraciones fiscales y mejorar la eficiencia de la gestión tributaria. En definitiva, los beneficios que se pueden alcanzar a través del uso de la IA son muchos y en nuestro ámbito debería favorecer a un mejor cumplimiento tributario, lo cual presente mayor facilidad de uso para los contribuyentes y a su vez más justo, con menores errores por parte de la SET, así como también existen riesgos que podría ser un mal uso de la misma, y que exige una valoración adecuada desde la perspectiva ética y la adopción de una serie de principios que deben presidir la actuación administrativa.

In 2020, NIST launched Cannabis Laboratory Quality Assurance Program (CannaQAP) to improve the comparability of the analytical measurements of cannabis and cannabis-derived products in forensic and cannabis (hemp and marijuana) testing laboratories. CannaQAP is an interlaboratory study mechanism that is similar to a proficiency testing scheme; however, the focus is towards education without assigning pass/fail grades to the anonymized participants. CannaQAP helps inform NIST about the current measurement capabilities of, and challenges faced by the analytical cannabis community. This in turn assists NIST in the design and characterization of cannabis reference materials (RMs). This study of Exercise 2 of CannaQAP focused on the determination of moisture in one hemp material provided by NIST. This report provides a detailed description of the results of this study. The wide range of moisture loss reported by participating laboratories using several different drying methods indicates the need for consistent hemp drying method(s) for accurate and precise measurements.
On the Question of Ways to Replace the Position of the Head of a Municipality: Using a Competition or on the Recommendation of the Governor
Authors: Korsun Ksenia Ivanovna , Zadorina Mariia Andreevna
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to the issue of the election and appointment of the head of the municipality, which occupies a central place in the institute of municipal people's representation, representing the municipality in the domestic and international arenas, the interests of residents of the territories. The subject of the study: the norms of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, Federal Law of 06.10.2003 No. 131-FZ "On the general principles of the organization of local self-government in the Russian Federation", the provisions of Draft Law No. 40361-8, scientific doctrine on the issue under study. The purpose of the study is to analyze the ways of electing the heads of municipalities "by competition" and "on the proposal of the governor". The methodological basis of the study: general scientific and private scientific methods, a special place in the study is given to the methods of content analysis and right-theoretic modeling. It is established that the "competitive model" (introduced by the legislator in 2014 for the election of heads of municipalities) deprived the local community of the opportunity to directly choose their mayors - through indirect democracy (through deputies of representative bodies). Special attention is paid to the analysis of the draft law of the new Federal Law "On the general principles of the organization of local self-government in the system of unified public authority", which proposes to replace the "competitive" model with the "governor's" one. The advantages and disadvantages of both methods of electing heads of municipalities are revealed. The novelty of the work is due to the fact that the author's approaches to the interpretation of "competitive and "gubernatorial" methods of electing heads of municipalities have been introduced into scientific circulation. Proposals are formulated to improve legislation in terms of the proposal of the author's design of a "competitive model" for the election of heads of municipalities, taking into account the opinion of the population of the relevant territory. It is concluded that the strengthening of control over local authorities by the state authorities of the regions, which began in 2014, in the event of the adoption of the analyzed Bill, will finally put local self-government in a position dependent on the region and marks a return to local government.

Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China embraces a unique geographical and ecological environment, and the macrofungi represent a rich resource. However, few studies on the genus Pluteus have been reported from Xinjiang. In 2021, the macrofungal resources in Xinjiang were surveyed, and 10 specimens belonging to the genus Pluteus were collected. Based on the morphological study and molecular analysis, three species were recognized, P. aletaiensis, P. brunneidiscus, and P. hongoi. Pluteus aletaiensis is proposed as a new species. It is characterized by its bright yellow lamellae and stipe, brittle texture, subfusiform to vesicular pleurocystidia, with short pedicels to broadly lageniform to obtuse at apices, a hymeniderm pileipellis, containing dark brown intracellular pigment, and it grows on the ground. Pluteus brunneidiscus, a new record to China, is characterized by uneven, smooth, grayish brown to brown pileus, with an entire margin, and pointed or flatter apices intermediate cystidia, without apical hooks. Pluteus hongoi, a new record to Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China, is characterized by the apical hook’s structure (commonly bifid) of pleurocystidia. The nuclear internal transcribed spacer (nrITS) and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1-a) region were used for the molecular analysis. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using both the maximum likelihood analysis (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI). Detailed descriptions of the three species are presented herein. Finally, a key to the list of eight species of the genus Pluteus knew from Xinjiang is provided.

Aim: In Kasese district of Western Uganda, farmers cultivating near Nyamwamba River (NR) experience crop wilting whenever the river banks burst. Increased cases of cancer and ulcers                    in the district is anecdotally blamed on ingestion of contaminated water from water resources polluted by tailings from Kilembe copper mines. Sand miners attested that mining in NR caused body irritations and itching while drinking water from the same river results in abdominal complications in infants. The aim of this study was to assess the seasonal variations in the physicochemical parameters and heavy metals (HMs) content of water from NR, and the associated health risks.

Place and Duration of Study: The experiments were done at the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Mbarara University of Science and Technology, Uganda from 2018 to 2019.

Methodology: This study employed quantitative research design. Water was sampled from down, middle and upstream of NR and Mubuku River, Western Uganda during the dry and wet seasons. The samples were analyzed for physicochemical parameters (pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids, total suspended soils) and HMs: chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), arsenic (As) and copper (Cu) by atomic absorption spectrometry. The estimated daily intake (EDI), target harzard quotient (THQ) and cancer risks were calculated to explore if there are any carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks that could arise from ingestion and dermal contact with water from NR.

Results: Most physicochemical parameters of the water samples only met WHO guidelines for drinking water in the upstream. The mean concentration of Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr, Cd and As were 0.90-29.66 mg/L, 0.21-10.74 mg/L, 0.40-8.21 mg/L, 1.10-13.47 mg/L, 0.79-13.47 mg/L, 0.05-1.40 mg/L and 0.22-4.34 mg/L, respectively. Wet season recorded higher HMs concentrations when compared to the dry season, with all its samples exceeding the WHO guidelines for drinking water. There was an extremely high concentration of HMs in the upstream samples than expected. Health risk assessment indicated that the EDI through dermal contact ranged from 0.015 to 4.150 mg/kg/day while through ingestion of contaminated water, the values ranged from 0.008 × 10-6 to 38.266 × 10-6 mg/Lday. Some of the EDI doses were higher than corresponding reference doses for ingestion and contact with the HMs in water. THQ and total THQ exceeded 1 while cancer risk values were beyond the US EPA cancer risk borderline.

Conclusion: This study revealed that there are serious non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks that could arise from consumption and contact with water from NR. Future studies should examine the relationship between the occurrence of trace metals in food stuffs with cancer, ulcers and other associated diseases in the area.
The Use of Allochthonous Tropical Peat Swamps of Antananarivo for Dyes Elimination in Effluents

Published: November 2022

Textile industries play an important role in the economy of developing countries. However, these industries are among the major consumers of water and chemical inputs. They reject considerable quantities of wastewater, the quality of which sometimes threatens the environment due to the inefficiency of the treatment methods used. This is combined with the inaccessibility to the advanced purification technologies because of their high cost. Many low-cost materials have been studied by scientists to treat effluents.  The ATP (allochthonous tropical peat) of Antananarivo, Madagascar, has aroused interest in the treatment of wastewater, especially for colored textile effluents. The physico-chemical characteristics of the ATP are determined, then the BLM dye (methylene blue) is used as a model dye for adsorption. After that, treatment tests in the form of filtration are carried out with textile effluent. This study showed that ATP removes cationic dyes more favorably than anionic ones at pH greater than 4.2, the zero-charge point of peat. The adsorption of BLM, a cationic dye, on ATP is physisorption and endothermic. A maximum of 20mg of BLM dye is adsorbed per gram of ATP and its follows the Langmuir model. The analysis of the IR spectra showed that the carboxylic function and the phenol group of the peat are involved on the dye fixation. The treatment of effluent taken from the textile industry revealed that ATP improves the pH and the color of the effluent; however, it increases the COD due to the presence of certain organic acids.

This paper investigates the inverse and power Juchez distribution. Some relevant properties are studied, and the distributions can altogether model many varieties of datasets emanating from different life phenomena. And then, a generator for other generalized distributions termed Juchez-G is developed to suffice for the relevance of robust model development. Finally, IJD and PJD showed to be a better fit over both the baseline distribution and their respective counterpart distributions, with respect to the datasets used. The proposed method is interesting and the performance is superior.
A Review of the Bond Behavior between Concrete and Deformed Rebar
Authors: Fan Lin
Published: November 2022

As a composite structure, the most important performance of the reinforced concrete structure is the bond behavior between them. Good bond behavior is the key to ensuring the service performance of reinforced concrete structures, which affects the performance of the structure at various stages in its life cycle. However, in the actual structural analysis, it is generally believed that the two do not produce relative slips, resulting in some differences between the analyzed structure and the actual engineering situation. At present, many scholars all over the world have used different test methods, comprehensively considered various factors affecting the bond behavior between deformed rebar and concrete, and obtained many conclusions. In this paper, based on the relevant research results of many scholars, starting from the bond mechanism, the experimental research method of the bond behavior, and the influencing factors of the bond behavior, a detailed review of the research status of the bonding performance of reinforced concrete is carried out. It is hoped that it can provide a reference to scholars that will study the bond behavior of reinforced concrete in the future.
