Authors: Pinheiro Romel , Reinert Franciane , Souza Maria José Barbosa de
Published: November 2024

Objective: to construct and validate measures related to human milk donation (HMD), based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB).
 
Theoretical framework: it is assumed that TPB can be used to explain and predict HMD behavior and the construction of these measures should consider reflective and formative measures.
 
Method: a questionnaire was developed with 12 direct reflective measures and 30 indirect formative measures and applied to a sample of postpartum women eligible to donate. The reliability of the direct measures was verified by the internal consistency criterion, using Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability. The reliability of the indirect measures was verified by the temporal stability criterion, using the test-retest technique and the intraclass correlation coefficient. The construct validity of the direct measures was established through the convergent and discriminant validity of these measures. The construct validity of the indirect formative measures was established through convergent validity, the assessment of collinearity problems and the assessment of the significance and relevance of the formative measures.
 
Results and conclusion: the reliability and validity of the direct reflective and indirect formative measures indicated that they are reliable and acceptable.
 
Research implications: this questionnaire can be used to predict HMD behavior, which in turn can improve donor recruitment management in human milk banks.
 
Originality/value: a questionnaire with direct and indirect measures of the TPB on HMD is unprecedented.

Authors: Martínez Ignacio Alejandro Mendoza , Flores Carlos Gabriel Colín , Nava Víctor Xochitototl , Rivera Blanca Rosa García
Published: November 2024

Objective: The objective of this research was to compare the results of structural equation models with latent variables (SEM) using the covariance-based maximum likelihood method, employing two different software applications for this purpose (Amos and R Studio Lavaan).
 
Theoretical Framework: This article presents the main concepts and theories underlying this research, addressing the use of SEM in organizational climate analysis and its importance in the educational context to evaluate key constructs in institutional dynamics.
 
Method: The constructs were derived from an organizational climate evaluation of a higher education institution in Mexico. The “Organizational Climate Inventory” was applied, selecting five subscales: Satisfaction, Pride and Belonging, Clarity of Goals and Objectives, Collaborative Work, and Efficiency and Effectiveness. Administrative, managerial, academic, and service staff were invited to participate, achieving a sample of n = 801.
 
Results and Discussion: The results from Amos vs. R Studio Lavaan confirmed that there were no significant differences between the SEMs regarding paths, standardized regression coefficients, R², goodness-of-fit indices, and correlation coefficients. Efficiency and Effectiveness (83.0%) was explained by the influence of Clarity of Goals and Objectives (0.11), Satisfaction (0.26), Collaborative Work (0.31), and Pride and Belonging (0.37) based on standardized regression coefficients. Collaborative Work (52.0%) was explained by the influence of Clarity of Goals and Objectives (0.49) and Pride and Belonging (0.29). The instrument demonstrated reliability levels above 0.70, as well as convergent validity greater than 0.50 and discriminant validity above 0.70 across all subscales.
 
Research Implications: Theoretical and practical implications of this study highlight the feasibility of using free software for SEM analysis, offering institutions an efficient and accessible alternative.
 
Originality/Value: This Study Contributes to the Literature by Validating the Use of Free Software as An Effective and Accurate Tool for Structural Analysis in Educational Contexts Without Additional Costs.

Published: November 2024

Objective: To assess self-efficacy for vaginal birth (VBAC) and its associated factors in pregnant women monitored in primary care.
 
Theoretical Framework: Concepts and theories that support the study are included, which provide a solid basis for understanding the context of the subject developed.
 
Method: Multicenter study in 312 pregnant users. The dependent variable was low VPA, measured with the self-efficacy scale for vaginal delivery (SEVB), and the independent variables were sociodemographic and obstetric factors. To examine the association between variables, crude and adjusted prevalence ratios were estimated with generalized linear models of the Poisson family.
 
Results and Discussion: The proportion of pregnant users with low VPA was 39.4%. Associated sociodemographic and obstetric factors that require special attention were identified. Therefore, they infer a higher probability of low VPA in pregnant women.
 
Research Implications: It is the intention of the study that knowledge of these factors and their degree of association with low VPA can indirectly help to increase VPA and contribute to the purposes of the health sector.
 
Originality/Value: Self-efficacy in childbirth determines the choice of mode of delivery. Therefore, VPA is an indicator that requires greater attention during routine antenatal care in health facilities.

Authors: Yiğit Burçin , Öcal Kara Fatma
Published: November 2024

Kırsalda hüküm süren ataerkil değerler, kadınların gereksinmelerinin karşılanmasına yönelik eşitsizlikler, kadının emeğinin değersizleştirilmesine neden olmaktadır. Toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri, coğrafi konuma, toplumların kültürel, sosyal ve ekonomik yapısına, sınıfa, zamana, etnik yapıya göre biçimlenir ve buna uygun çeşitli mekanizmalar da üretir. Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesinde de geleneksel cinsiyet rollerinin hüküm sürdüğü varsayımından hareketle araştırmada, Şanlıurfa kırsalında tarımda çalışan kadınların toplumsal cinsiyet algılarını ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma sahasında kadın deneklerle yüz yüze yapılan anket görüşmeleri, kırsalda kadınların yaşam şartlarını görebilmek amacıyla özellikle kadınların çalışma ve yaşam alanlarında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Şanlıurfa’nın beş ilçesinin kırsalında yaşayıp tarımda çalışan toplam 237 kadınla yüz yüze anket çalışması yapılarak araştırma toplanmıştır. Çalışmada, ev işleri sorumluluğunun tamamını kabullenen kadınların çoğunlukta olduğu saptanmıştır. Ücretlerin düşük olması, sosyal güvenliğin olmayışı ve çalışma koşullarının güçlüğü sebebiyle kadınların büyük bir bölümü tarımda çalışmaktan memnun değildir. Hem bitkisel hem hayvansal üretimde yoğun çalışan kadınların tarımsal bilgi kaynaklarına erişimi yok denecek kadar azdır. Tarım ve Orman Bakanlığı, diğer ilgili bakanlık ve kurumlar, sivil toplum kuruluşları ve yerel yönetimler tarafından kırsal alana kadın odaklı hizmetlerin sayısı artırılmalı ve eşgüdümle hizmetler sunulmalıdır. Böylece kırsal alanda toplumsal değişmenin önü açılmış olabilir.

Published: November 2024

Bu çalışmada, tahıl depolaması amacıyla farklı sac kalınlıkları ve destek elemanlarına sahip 85 adet silo modeli oluşturulmuştur. Silo boyutları,1500×3000 mm sac tabakalar kesilmeksizin kullanılarak çapı 4,77 metre ve yüksekliği (çatı hariç) 10,5 olarak belirlenmiş ve araştırma süresince sabit tutulmuştur. Çalışmanın temel amacı, çelik siloların maliyetinin büyük kısmını oluşturan yapı malzemesini azaltarak maliyeti düşürmek için optimizasyon yapmaktır. Oluşturulan modeller için kaynaklanabilirlik, işlenebilirlik ve maliyet yönünden uygun malzeme olarak St44 yapı çeliği seçilmiştir. Silonun stabilitesini artırmak ve olası yapısal sorunları minimize etmek amacıyla, NPU ve lama destek elemanları tasarıma dahil edilmiştir. Oluşturulan silo modellerinin yapısal analizleri ANSYS sonlu elemanlar yazılımı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. ANSYS yazılımı kullanılarak yapılan analizlerde, her bir silo modeli için statik yükleme koşulları altında oluşan toplam deformasyon, gerinim ve gerilme değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca, her bir tasarımın toplam ağırlığı da değerlendirilmiştir. Bu analizler sonucunda elde edilen veriler karşılaştırılarak, en uygun performans ve maliyet dengesini sağlayan optimum silo tasarımı belirlenmiştir. İmalat sırasında sac kalınlığını artırmadan, yeterli destek elemanlarının kullanılması ile genel ağırlığın %58 oranında azaltılabileceği tespit edilmiştir. Bu bulgu, imalat sırasında malzeme maliyetlerini önemli ölçüde düşürmekte ve yapısal performansı koruyarak ekonomik bir çözüm sunmaktadır.

Abstract: This paper presents an optimized method for reconstructing 3D floor plans using userdefined boundaries and constraints for residential structures. This approach allows users to providearchitectural constraints such as room types and quantities, as well as manual sketches or existingimages of the house boundaries. Advanced deep learning algorithms are used to automaticallypartition the house boundaries and create a customized, optimized interior layout based on the users’architectural constraints. In the experiment phase, we integrated the Graph2Plan-based deep learningmodule, which converts the user-provided boundary data and architectural constraints into astructured 2D floor plan, automatically allocating and refining the rooms to ensure a harmoniousspatial arrangement. The evaluation of the deep learning model’s performance shows that this is auseful and time-saving solution for designers. Then, we utilized graphics and image processingtechniques to generate the 3D floor plans. Based on this solution, we have developed a 3D floor plangeneration application that provides a flexible and adaptive solution for individual home planningwithin defined boundaries. The application has been thoroughly tested to demonstrate its features,including the ability to meet users’ architectural constraints, provide rapid response times, and offera convenient user interaction experience.Keywords: 3DFloorplan, Floorplan generation, layout graph, RPLAN dataset, house plan.

Authors: Molodykh Kristina Yu. , Araviiskaia Elena R. , Sokolovskiy Evgeny V. , Kraeva Lyudmila A.
Published: November 2024

Background. Currently, the attention of dermatologists is often directed to the study of changes in bacterial colonization of the skin, as one of the important links in the pathogenesis of skin diseases, including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne, and seborrheic dermatitis. In recent years, data have emerged indicating a direct link between changes in the composition of the skin microbiota and obesity, as well as related diseases, primarily type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The aims. To give a clinical and microbiological characteristic of seborrheic dermatitis of the face in persons with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus and in persons without concomitant pathology.
Methods. The study included 90 patients with seborrheic dermatitis, divided into 3 groups (1 — patients with seborrheic dermatitis; 2 — patients with seborrheic dermatitis and metabolic syndrome; 3 — patients with seborrheic dermatitis, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus). The severity of the disease was determined by SEDASI score (Seborrheic Dermatitis Area and Severity Index). Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed based on the criteria of NCEP ATP III. The diagnosis of diabetes mellitus was established according to the diagnostic criteria of diabetes mellitus and other glycemic disorders (World Health Organization, 1999–2013). Classical bacteriological methods and mass spectrometric method (MALDI-TOF MS) were used to study the skin microbiome.
Results. Our study revealed an association between the presence of certain microorganisms in the skin microbiome and seborrheic dermatitis, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In patients with moderate to severe seborrheic dermatitis, an increase in bacterial species isolated from the skin surface and their number in the unit volume of the investigated material. It was found that the colonization of microorganisms on the facial skin was significantly higher in patients of groups 2 and 3 compared to group 1. Among the isolated representatives of the genus Staphylococcus, the most pathogenic species of S. aureus prevailed in patients of groups 2 and 3.
Conclusion. The severity of the course and widespread lesions on the facial skin in patients with seborrheic dermatitis, metabolic syndrome and with seborrheic dermatitis, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus are interrelated with disorders of facial skin microbiota. The growth of microorganisms in patients with seborrheic dermatitis and carbohydrate metabolism disorder is associated with severe course of facial seborrheic dermatitis and plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Testicular enzyme activity alterations in rats with liver cirrhosis induced by alcohol and acetaminophen
Authors: Dash Debabrata , Thakur Paramjeet , Koiri Raj Kumar
Published: November 2024

Alcohol-induced acetaminophen (APAP) toxicity is one of the numerous factors that might result in liver cirrhosis (LC). The hepatotoxicity of APAP appears to increase in chronic drinkers, according to a number of investigations. These people not only have a greater risk of experiencing acute overdose-related severe and deadly liver damage but are also at risk of experiencing similar substantial liver damage from therapeutic APAP use. The male reproductive system consists of both testes and a few other auxiliary sexual organs. Smaller and lighter testicles are indicative of severe cirrhosis causing testicular atrophy. In the case of severe LC, low testosterone results from hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Sexual dysfunction is a prevalent condition that is frequently overlooked in individuals suffering from cirrhosis and chronic liver disease. Eighteen rats were randomly divided into three groups. Rats of normal control group received water and normal diet ad libitum; alcohol control and LC group received 4.5% alcohol and a combination of 4.5% alcohol and APAP (300 mg/kg bw) through drinking water, respectively, for 7 days. Several glycolytic and antioxidant enzymes were assessed for their effects through non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis and enzyme activity. The results indicated that long-term alcohol consumption and APAP medication altered the levels of antioxidant and glycolytic enzymes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating that chronic alcoholism and APAP induce hepatotoxicity, and LC further affects the antioxidant and glycolytic enzyme activities of the testes.

Published: November 2024

In the Irkutsk region, the decentralized energy supply zone relies on expensive autonomous diesel power plants for electricity  supply and low- and medium-capacity boiler houses for heat supply. A common problem for these areas is untimely delivery and high cost of fuel. A possible solution may be the use of local fuels that do not require costly transportation. An analysis was made to assess the cost-effectiveness of substituting imported diesel fuel used for power generation for local oil and liquefied natural gas, as well as replacing the heat supply fuels with local fuel chips. The study shows that the cost of fuel is the key factor that affects the efficiency of an energy source in isolated and inaccessible areas. Therefore, switching to local fuels is a highly cost-effective option for existing energy sources. By replacing diesel fuel with oil in nine settlements of the Katangsky district, the subsidies to the Irkutsk region can be reduced by RUR 95.6 million annually. The conversion of diesel power plants to liquefied natural gas in six settlements of the Irkutsk region will reduce the subsidies by RUR 41.9 million  annually. The study concludes that, given the small population in the communities at issue, the use of wood waste for heat supply is only suitable in four settlements in the Irkutsk region. The heat sources in all these localities are departmental, which means they are not eligible for subsidies.

This paper explores operational detection and control of unauthorized electricity consumption (UEC) in distribution electricity networks (DENs) with the Automated System for Commercial Metering of Electricity (ASCME) in operation. This problem pertains to the class of problems characterized by significant uncertainty about the current state of the object under study and the parameters of external disturbances, which are represented by unauthorized electricity consumers. In this regard, in order to reduce the level of uncertainty and obtain additional necessary information about the state of the object, the concept of a virtual model of the DEN is introduced. This concept is intended to describe the desired state of DEN, which is characterized by the absence of unauthorized consumers in the network. A new method and an algorithm for solving the formulated problem based on the concept of a virtual model of the DEN are proposed. Conditions for identifying the current state of the DEN are obtained. Vectors of effective values of currents and voltages of the virtual network are determined. A criterion for locating the UEC is formulated and a computational algorithm for the automated control method is developed. The findings allow enhancing the DEN reliability and can be used to create special software for the subsystem for locating the UEC coordinates in the distribution network as part of the ASCME.

Integrating Internet of Energy (IoE) technology into distribution systems is a revolutionary strategy to improve energy efficiency. This study investigates the implementation of IoE technology in order to optimize energy management, lower losses, and enhance overall system performance in the distribution system. We look at many approaches to utilizing IoE, such as automated control systems, real-time monitoring, and advanced data analytics. The difficulties of putting these technologies into practice are also explored focusing on interoperability, big data, and data privacy issues. By examining current developments and case examples, we offer valuable perspectives on how to surmount these obstacles and optimize the advantages of IoE in power system. IoE has the ability to completely transform the way energy is distributed by enabling more intelligent, responsive, and effective network performance.
Diversifying the Business of Oil and Gas Companies in the Context of Global Climate Policy
Authors: N.I. Plyaskina
Published: November 2024

In 2019, Russia, being a climate-conscious country, ratified the Kyoto Protocol to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change caused by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. The increase in the emissions is primarily driven by the advancements in energy production. The existing level of technology for processing and using raw materials in many energy industries leads to dangerous environmental pollution and causes an increase in environmental problems. Many companies have adopted their carbon neutrality strategies to use "green energy" based on ESG criteria, which allows them to increase their competitive advantages. Achieving carbon neutrality involves minimizing direct emissions during production processes or shifting to renewable energy sources. The paper examines the transformation of the oil and gas companies towards cutting greenhouse gas emissions and analyzes the mechanisms for achieving decarbonization. To assess the effectiveness of investment projects in the field of low-carbon energy, the paper analyzes an approach and proposes a dynamic simulation model based on a modification of the discounted cash flow method. The model is tested under the assumption that carbon regulation is carried out through the introduction of a carbon border tax.

The currently existing methods of automated data collection, although they facilitate this process, often face problems of low reliability, efficiency and speed. Unstable connections, blocking IP addresses and changes in the structure of sites lead to data loss and the need for constant monitoring of the parsing process, which increases the cost of maintaining and operating such systems. In this regard, the development of new approaches and tools for parsing the necessary information is a very urgent task that can transform the field of data mining. The article discusses the process of developing a module for parsing information from patent systems and websites of physics and technology journals using modern technologies and approaches, and also presents the results of checking its operability. This tool can be useful for patent offices, researchers, students, engineers, and scientists working in the subject area under consideration. The use of such a module will open up new opportunities for data mining and strategic decision-making in the field of innovative development, as well as for in-depth analysis of technological trends, identification of promising developments and building innovative development strategies.

Published: November 2024

Approximately 40% of marketed drugs exhibit suboptimal pharmacokinetic profiles. Co-crystallization, where pairs of molecules form a multicomponent crystal, constitutes a promising strategy to enhance physicochemical properties without compromising the pharmacological activity. However, finding promising co-crystal pairs is resource-intensive, due to the vast number of possible combinations. We present DeepCocrystal, a novel deep learning approach designed to predict co-crystal formation by processing the 'chemical language' from a supramolecular vantage point. Rigorous validation of DeepCocrystal showed a balanced accuracy of 78% in realistic scenarios, outperforming existing models. By leveraging properties of molecular string representations, DeepCocrystal can also estimate the uncertainty of its predictions. We harness this capability in a challenging prospective study, and successfully discovered two novel co-crystal of diflunisal, an anti-inflammatory drug. This study underscores the potential of deep learning - and in particular of chemical language processing - to accelerate co-crystallization, and ultimately drug development, in both academic and industrial contexts.
Chasing the ghost of fracking in the Vaca Muerta Formation: Induced seismicity in the Neuquén Basin, Argentina
Authors: Schultz Ryan , Tamburini-Beliveau Guillermo , Correa-Otto Sebastián , Grosso-Heredia Javier
Published: November 2024

Earthquakes are known to be induced by a variety of anthropogenic causes, such as hydraulic fracturing.  In the Neuquén Basin of Argentina, hydraulic fracturing has been used to produce hydrocarbons trapped in the shales of the Vaca Muerta Formation.  Correspondingly, incidences of seismicity there have increased.  We collect information on well stimulations and earthquakes to perform statistical analysis linking these two datasets together.  Spatiotemporal association filters suggest that the catalogue of events is biased towards hydraulic fracturing operations.  After accounting for false-positives, we estimate that ~0.5% of operations are associated with earthquakes.  These associated event-operation pairs show highly correlated temporal signals (>99.99% confidence) between seismicity/injection rates.  Based on this evidence, we argue that many of these earthquakes are induced.  We support this argument by comparing the geological setting of the Neuquén Basin against conditions needed for fault reactivation in other susceptible/seismogenic basins. This recognition adds to the growing list of (hydraulic fracturing) induced seismicity.

Authors: Lyu Manfang
Published: November 2024

This study explores the effects of recent changes in China’s dance college admissions, which now equally weigh academic and professional performance. While the policy aims to create fairer admissions, it presents challenges for students from specialized dance programs (keban), who may struggle with academic demands. In contrast, academically strong students with limited dance training may gain an advantage. The research highlights the policy’s mixed impact and proposes flexible admissions strategies, such as conditional offers and ongoing academic support, to better accommodate students with diverse abilities. The study underscores the importance of refining these policies to ensure greater equity and cultural diversity in dance education.
