INTRAANNUAL VARIABILITY OF THE CYCLONIC CIRCULATION OF WATER IN THE MIDDLE CASPIAN SEA
Authors:   Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Sciences, AMBROSIMOV A.K.
Published: February 2024

Hydrophysical studies in 2004-2018 showed that the cyclonic gyre of the Middle Caspian Sea is not a year-round circulation. In the cold season, the current in the cyclonic gyre intensifies, and in the warm season, the circulation weakens and the directed current turns into a drift one, except for the western part, where the water is transferred from the Middle Caspian to the southern part of the sea due to the difference in the levels of the basins. It is shown that the current in the cyclonic circulation follows the contour above the slope of the Derbent Basin in the entire layer from the surface to the bottom. The seasonal boundaries of the annual intensification and weakening of the cyclonic circulation are revealed.

Authors: LUNGO MWAJUMA , MAZUNGA MOHAMED. S , LUGENDO INNOCENT J.
Published: February 2024

Coaxial cylinder capacitive moisture sensor for determination of moisture content of table salts has been fabricated. The CMS method for determination of moisture content of table salts overcomes the effect of evaporation of iodine in table salt which results from heating in the oven drying method. The CMS overcomes the polarization effect result from the resistive methods of moisture content determination and it is non expensive to construct and it has high accuracy since measurements involves programming system in interpretation of the results. In this research, moisture content sensor based on capacitive principal created using two coaxial cylinders with height 5.207 cm, and different diameters of 4.303 cm and 1.198 cm embedded inside one another. The input signal of the CMS system was provided by the AC signal from the sensor capacitor, the capacitance of the sensor capacitor is directly proportional to the moisture content of the salt sample placed between the two coaxial cylinders of the sensor capacitor. The moisture content was obtained from the model m=6.6145×10-4c+4.54044 for calibration of the CMS by using the OVD as a reference method for determination of moisture content in the table salts. The model was then validated by constructing the comparison plot of OVD and CMS moisture contents. The comparison graph of OVD and CMS MC against test had conceding error bars between OVD and CMS MC. The coefficient of determination of 0.94 was obtained and the correlation plot was a linear relation expressed as y=0.971x+0.773. The model was then validated by solving for moisture content from measured values of capacitance.
Comparison of End-Point Energies of Bremsstrahlung Photons from 28- GHz ECR Ion Source in Three Measurement Locations
Authors: Kumwenda Mwingereza
Published: February 2024

Bremsstrahlung photons measurement show elevated energy emission beyond critical energy in 28-GHz ECR and its nature is not revealed. Thus, the aim of this study is to unveil the nature of high end-point energies at the three measurement locations. Bremsstrahlung photons from a 28-GHz ECR ion source were measured at Busan center of Korean Basic Science Institute (KBSI). The gamma-ray detection system consists of three round type NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors placed 62 cm radially from the beam axis at the three measurement locations namely injection, centre and extraction sides of an ECR ion source, and a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector placed at the view port for monitoring photon intensity along the beam axis. Such design of the experiment was based on the inner structure of the ECR ion source and the shape of the ECR plasma. Also, bremsstrahlung photons were measured by exchanging the detector positions for studying systematic uncertainties. Monte Carlo simulation based on the Geant4 package was performed to take geometrical acceptance and the energydependent detection efficiency into account due to large non-uniformity in the material budget. True bremsstrahlung energy spectra from the 28-GHz ECR ion source were extracted using an inverse matrix unfolding method. The measured high end-point energies at the three measurement locations were 1.68 MeV, 1.72 MeV and 2.04 MeV for the injection, centre and extraction sides, respectively. The high end-point energy values of the measured bremsstrahlung photons beyond the theoretical energy value of 1.33 MeV were found to be correlated with the structure of the ECR ion source and the shape of the ECR plasma. Furthermore, the high end-point energy values resulting from the bremsstrahlung photons measurements in the 28-GHz ECR plasma are due to the higher number of unconfined electrons arriving at the chamber wall easily, and producing higher bremsstrahlung photons. The unconfined electrons are the results of imperfect magnetic confinement that cause electrons to escape from the plasma volume.

Published: February 2024

Ikuza Island in Tanzania faces lack of electricity. Therefore, this paper undertakes to design hybrid renewable energy sources for the island by specifically focusing on the buck-boost converter for the energy conversion from these renewable resources. The design of the bidirectional buck-boost converter for maximum power point tracking in off-grid hybrid renewable energy systems is multifaceted due to the inhomogeneity nature of the renewable energy sources. The bidirectional buck-boost converter, solar PV, wind-based generator, and energy storage system were designed and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink software. The designed system was tested with varying solar irradiance (750 to 1000 W/m2), temperature (20 to 25°C) and wind speed (150 to 157.5 radians/s) at constant load of 260 A while load variation involved varying the load current from 0 to 260 A at solar irradiance, temperature, and wind speed of 1000 W/m2, 25 °C and 157.5 radians/s, respectively. The variation of DC link bus voltage at different load conditions was reported. The simulation results show that the designed converter is able to maintain DC link voltage at 600 V. Moreover, the DC link voltage showed a maximum drop of approximately 0.67% during the constant load condition. Contrarily, a significant improvement is observed when the designed converter operates with the hybrid system of solar PV, PMSG-based wind generator and with energy storage system.
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF IMMUNIZATION COVERAGE IN INDIA“WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO NFHS3 AND NFHS4”
Authors: Rao Dr Nikita , Sodani Dr. P. R.
Published: February 2024

Vaccination is a highly effective measure for ensuring child survival, and it is universally implemented by nations to administer specific vaccines, particularly targeting high-risk groups like pregnant women and newborns. In 1986, the Government of India elevated the program's status to that of a National Technology Mission, committing to achieving its objectives within the specified timeframe. The Child Survival and Safe Motherhood Programme (which included the Universal Immunisation Programme (UIP)) was merged into the Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) program in 1997. Collaborating with global and national entities such as WHO and UNICEF, the Indian government endeavors to ensure comprehensive childhood vaccination. However, a study titled "High Immunization Coverage but Delayed Immunization Reflects Gaps in Health Management Information System (HMIS) in District Kangra, Himachal Pradesh" revealed that only 29% of children in the district received immunization. According to immunisation statistics, 68% of youngsters had delays from the recommended schedule of at least 32 days. The use of mono-dose BCG vials, pre-call notifications to moms, and adjusting HMIS software to track each beneficiary's immunisation status and punctuality rather than depending on total numbers were among the recommendations [1].

Authors: Chhag Vatsal Ajitkumar , Sadhu Dr. Goutam
Published: February 2024

Almost 35 years ago, the concept of Health for All was acknowledged through the Alma-Ata declaration, aiming to promote and safeguard the health of people globally. To operationalize this concept, countries have introduced demand-side health financing mechanisms in the form of social health insurance. Currently, there is no universally organized model capable of delivering health services with minimal or no out-of-pocket expenditure, and most developing countries lack the resources and organization to provide comprehensive primary health care security. Developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan adopt different models of social health insurance, allocating approximately 17%, 9%, 11%, and 10% of GDP on healthcare, respectively [1].

Authors:   Department of Anthropology PMAS-Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi, Hafeez Swera
Published: February 2024

Religion is a major cultural element that holds an integral role in societies formation and organization. But differences in religious ideologies and beliefs, results in societal conflicts. Study aims at highlighting the arguments that arise due to religious differences amongst individuals of a community and is focused on the role of religious anthropologists to highlight the consequences of the increasing religious issues and to propose solutions through cultural relativism and cross-cultural approaches. Studying various religious rites and practices fosters cross-cultural communication and interfaith understanding, resulting in the enhancement of research in the field of the anthropology of religion and correction of misconceptions at different levels. A multireligious community with a majority Muslim population and minorities of Christianity and Sikhism at 6th Road, Rawalpindi for primary data collection with unstructured in-depth interviews with an interview guide as a qualitative mode has been observed. The explanatory research methodology was applied to examine how or why interfaith harmony occurs or not. Also, the findings indicated that Emile Durkheim’s approach to a house of worship, where the community served as a place to practice different religions, brings people together and establishes bilateral relations.

Authors: P. I. Okoror , B. O. Okonokhua , C. T. Amanze
Published: February 2024

This study assessed the effects of land use types on selected physical properties of soil in Akwa Ibom State, south-south Nigeria. Four land use types, intensive cultivated land (ICL), natural forest (NF), oil palm plantation (OPP) and gmelina plantation (GP), were considered. Each land use was represented by three profile pits which were sampled according to genetic horizons for laboratory analysis. Data generated were analyzed statistically using descriptive and regression analyses. The results showed that ICL had the highest bulk density (Bd) ( 1.7g/cm3) followed by NF and OPP (1.6g/cm3) while GP had the least (1.5g/cm3), OPP had the highest total porosity (Tp) (43.7%) followed by GP (42.6%), NF (41.1%) while ICL had the least (36.2%), ICL and NF had the highest water stable aggregates (WSA) (12.9%) followed by OPP (8.3%) while GP had the least (4.3%). However, OPP had the highest saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) (8.4cm/h) followed by NF (8.2cm/h) while ICL and GP had the least (4.3cm/h). Result further showed that Ksat was significantly correlated with clay with r2 value of 0.53 (Ƿ˂ 0.01). Across the four land use types, Ksat was moderately rapid. Irrespective of land use type, soils were dominated by sand-sized fraction which generally decreased with depth, reflecting the influence of the parent material(coastal plain sands). This study shows that the land use types were similar in their effects on Ksat but there were no significant differences.

Authors: Xu Ming , Mamedova Larisa , Vakolyuk Roza
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The authors determined the efficacy of transcranial electrostimulation (TES) in treating arterial hypertension I degree in young patients and compared it with electrically induced sleep therapy. Materials and Methods: The performed study is a prospective randomized controlled trial that enrolled 212 patients aged 18-20years with arterial hypertension I degree. Patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of 110 patients who underwent transcranial electrostimulationusing a method developed at the Institute of Physiology named after I. P. Pavlov, Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg. Group 2 included 112 patients who underwent electrically induced sleep therapy procedures with the orbital-retro mastoidal technique of electrode application in a "sedative" mode. The control group included 45 patients with normal blood pressure. All patients underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, determination of central hemodynamic parameters, diurnal heart rate variability, and endothelial function parameters. Results: As a result of TES therapy in patients significantly decreased the average diurnal SBP and DBP values, pressure load, normalized the diurnal BP profile, AT, and EF values. As a result of electrosleep therapy, average diurnal SBP, and DBP values decreased unreliably, decreased pressure load, and signs of sympathicotonia, but AT and EF values did not change significantly. TES therapy's effectiveness for treating stage 1 hypertension in young patients is significantly higher by 1.9 times in comparison with electrosontherapy. Conclusion: This study has shown that the TES treatment is more effective than traditional non-pharmacological electrosleep therapyin a "sedative" mode. TES normalizes hemodynamics, BP levels, and EF indicators and can be recommended as one of the methods of antihypertensive therapy in young patients.

Published: February 2024

Salacia oblonga Wall. and Salacia reticulata Wight. (Family Celastraceae) are commonly known as Saptarangi and used in Ayurvedic medicine as potent antidiabetic agent. It is a woody climber, mainly habitat in Sri Lanka and Southern India. A large number of chemical constituents such as salacinol, neosalacinol, kotalanol, neokotalanol, and mangiferin were isolated from stem and root of saptarangi which shows various therapeutics activities. Chemical constituent presents in both species of Salacia are working as α-glucosidase inhibitor for diabetes management. Among them mangiferin is a plant natural polyphenol of C-glycosylxanthone structure and found in many plant species. Many chromatography techniques like LC-MS, HPLC are available to quantify mangiferin but no proper data available for simple, rapid, precise, economic HPTLC method. So, HPTLC method was developed with mobile phase ethyl acetate: formic acid: water (4:0.5:0.5 v/v/v) which confirmed the presence of mangiferin at 0.38±0.01 Rf value observed under 254nm. Mangiferin was present in 1.02% in Salacia oblonga root extract, 0.94% in Salacia reticulata stem extract and 0.42% in polyherbal formulation. The validated HPTLC method will be useful in standardization of different Ayurvedic formulations using mangiferin as a marker.
Commentary for the KCJ article “Molecular and Immune Landscape of Fumarate Hydratase-Mutated Renal Cell Carcinoma”
Authors: Singla Nirmish
Published: February 2024

Fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient renal cell carcinomas (RCC) are a rare yet aggressive type of kidney cancer. Both their rarity and aggressiveness make them particularly challenging to study. The authors of this study (refer pages 115-124, this Q4 issue) are to be commended for providing perhaps the largest genomic and transcriptomic characterization of FH-deficient RCC to date. As the investigators acknowledge, there are undoubtedly several limitations to their findings, including the limited clinicopathologic information and outcomes data in their cohort, absence of data concerning therapeutic exposures prior to sample acquisition, and heterogeneity in the tumor sites for the samples analyzed.

Diabetes disease is prevalent worldwide, and predicting its progression is crucial. Several model have beenproposed to predict such disease. Those models only determine the disease label, leaving the likelihood of developing the diseaseunclear. Proposing a model for predicting the progression of disease becomes essential. Therefore, this article proposes a logisticregression model to anticipate the likelihood of Diabetes syndrome incidence. The model exploit capabilities of logistic regressionby using sigmoid function. The model's performance was evaluated using the Pima Indians Diabetes dataset and demonstratedhigh accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. The prediction accuracy rate was 77.6%, with a sensitivity of 72.4%, specificity of79.6%, Type I Error of 27.6%, and Type II Error of 20.4%. Furthermore, the model indicates the feasibility of using laboratorytests, such as Pregnancies, Glucose, Blood Pressure, BMI, and DiabetesPedigreeFunction, to predict disease progress. Theproposed model can aid patients and physicians in understanding the disease's progression and implementing timely interventions

Baru is a fruit produced only once a year which requires adequate planning of seasonal maintenance to maintain the quality of its nut for consumption. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of hydrothermal treatment on pest control and temperature and storage time on baru fruits on the phenolic content and the lipidic quality of the nuts. We stored the fruits at ambient temperature (29°C) and climatized at 18°C. We evaluated them at 0, 60, 120, and 180 days for insect damage, water content, total phenols, tannins, antioxidant activity, lipid profile, acidity, peroxide and iodine indices, and oxidative stability by Rancimat. The integrated management was efficient in pest control, and nuts extracted from fruits preserved the bioactive compounds independently of storage temperature and presented chemical characteristics acceptable for consumption. The fatty acids found in higher proportions in baru nuts were oleic (50%) and linoleic acids (27%) and remained preserved over time. Thus, it promotes the supply of oilseeds to the market with consistency and quality between crops, avoiding unnecessary losses during storage.

It will address the topic of the physical body of museum goers as an experiential tool and discuss to what extent its active, at times performative, use across museum settings has been and is considered as an important element of the cultural experience. This research offers a storeographical account which begins from visitor engagement in the early 17th to 19th century museums, continues with an account of the ‘disappearance’ of the visitor body in modern museums (Candlin, 2004), and proceeds analysing the revival of a more systemic and bodily understanding of these spaces (Howes, 2014), with technologies playing a very important role in incentivizing and characterizing this shift. The case for the positive interplay between museums and technological artistic experience towards a performative engagement of the visitor’s physical presence will be made through the case study of the Nxt Museum, in Amsterdam. The specific project that will be here analyzed is the Shifting Proximities exhibition, which explores human experience and interaction in the face of social and technological change. Through this last institutional account the research will complete its itinerary through performative action across museum experiences in time and space, arguing for the relevance that technological media can play in transforming visitors’ relationship with art through their bodies.

In the past three years, social media has had a significant impact on our lives, including crisis management. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of accurate information and exposed the spread of false information. This paper specifically examines the COVID-19 crisis and analyzes relevant literature to provide insights for national authorities and organizations. Utilizing social media data for crisis management poses challenges due to its unstructured nature. To overcome this, the paper proposes a comprehensive method that addresses all aspects of long-term crisis management. This method relies on labeled and structured information for accurate sentiment analysis and classification. An automated approach is presented to annotate and classify tweet texts, reducing manual labeling and improving classifier accuracy. The framework involves generating topics using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and ranking them with a new algorithm for data annotation. The labeled text is transformed into feature representation using Bert embeddings, which can be utilized in deep learning models for categorizing textual data. The primary aim of this paper is to offer valuable insights and resources to researchers studying crisis management through social media literature, with a specific focus on high-accuracy sentiment analysis.
Feedback in the Very Young Learner EFL Classroom: A Review Study
Authors: Alghannam Manal Saleh M.
Published: February 2024

This review article contributes to addressing an urgent issue in today's globalised world. English has become the world lingua franca and many countries are seeking to equip their workforce with English competence so as to engage fully in international social, economic and academic fora. This often entails lowering the age at which children start to learn English in school, which places a heavy responsibility on the educational system in countries, such as Saudi Arabia, where English is a foreign language, i.e., not widely used in day-to-day life in the country outside the English classroom. Yet many aspects of teaching young learners a foreign language at age six onwards have not been extensively investigated. One of these is the key issue of how the teacher should best give feedback to children of that age. Feedback is widely regarded as the key to learning, but not all its types are necessarily effective. Furthermore, most research has been on older children and adults. The present study therefore uses the method of qualitative systematic literature review to assemble and analyse existing research and theory with the aim to extract guidelines for feedback by teachers in foreign language classrooms with very young learners. It is found that attention should be given not only to negative, corrective feedback on the language used, which is often the focus of teacher attention. A case is made for the place and value of positive feedback and feedback of communicative and emotional types. Even in corrective feedback it is often better to use partial rather than total correction, so as to give the child space to self-correct.

Este artigo é um recorte da dissertação do Curso de Mestrado em Educação realizado no Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Alagoas – UFAL, no biênio 2022/2023, dentro da linha de pesquisa Educação e Linguagem. A dissertação foi construída a partir dos dados coletados em pesquisa de campo realizada numa escola de educação básica da região norte da cidade de Maceió/AL, com uma turma de 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental, composta por 27 alunos, sendo 21 meninos e 06 meninas com faixa etária entre 10 e 11 anos, no turno matutino no período correspondente ao segundo semestre de 2022. Durante a pesquisa de campo, foram realizadas 04 atividades, das quais selecionamos a primeira atividade praticada com os alunos - “Brincadeira Palavras na sacola” - para observar a consciência dos alunos sobre variação lexical por meio do desenvolvimento de atividades. Para tanto, neste trabalho, objetivamos discorrer sobre o desdobramento desta atividade com alunos participantes da pesquisa. Para fundamentar nossas discussões, buscamos contribuições de teóricos, dentre os quais destacamos: Bagno (2007; 2017), Bortoni-Ricardo (2004), Calvet (2002), Oliveira e Isquerdo (2001), entre outros que pesquisam e tecem reflexões sobre a língua, variação linguística, léxico e variação lexical com consideração de aspectos sociolinguísticos. Os principais resultados apontam que, ao longo da realização da atividade Brincadeira “Palavras na sacola”, os alunos apresentaram desenvolvimento da consciência da variação lexical por meio da ampliação de conhecimentos sobre a língua, observação dos falares cotidianos, inferências dos diversos sentidos/significados em diferentes contextos e intenções comunicativas.
Estratégias docentes para romper com o colonialismo em sala de aula de E/LE no ensino superior
Authors: Ferreira Leal Marcelle
Published: February 2024

A partir de relatos de experiência em sala de aula da graduação de uma universidade brasileira, almeja-se discutir colonialismo e linguagem no ensino superior e apresentar estratégias pelas quais o docente pode enfrentá-lo e fomentar a valorização das variedades do espanhol. Com este fim, propõe-se um debate sobre a tradição colonial da universidade, Carañana (2012), Pereira (2008) Fávero (2006), Ribeiro (1971) e Da Silva (2017); o conceito de colonialidade, Césaire (1978) e Quijano (2005); suas implicações na linguagem, Mariani (2003) e Veronelli (2019; 2016); a presença da questão no âmbito acadêmico, Bernardino-Costa; Borges (2021); na aula de E/LE Bugel (1999) e Bugel; Santos (2022); além da exposição de alguns meios através dos quais o professor promove a constituição de um contexto de ensino-aprendizagem onde a pluralidade cultural não seja hierarquizante, mas sim colaborativa e valorize as variedades do idioma, Fernández e Roth (2007) e Adrián Fanjul (2004). Desta forma, acredita-se não só destacar o problema, mas também fornecer caminhos possíveis para solucioná-lo em busca de uma educação mais inclusiva, plural e libertadora.

A língua pode ser condicionada por fatores internos, em seu sistema fonético, lexical, morfológico, sintático, fonológico, discursivo e semântico e por fatores externos, tais como: sexo ou gênero, nível de escolaridade, faixa etária, classe social, etnia, região, oralidade e escrita. Por conseguinte, o espaço escolar pode funcionar como um local de socialização, que respeita as diferenças linguísticas, e que reconhece a heterogeneidade como fator intrínseco à linguagem, especialmente no final do ensino médio, etapa em que os discentes farão o Exame Nacional de Ensino Médio (Enem). Essa percepção contribui para a redução do preconceito linguístico, pois o uso real da língua ultrapassa os conceitos impostos pela Gramática Normativa. Além disso, a abordagem dessa temática na escola e em exames nacionais contribui para que haja o reconhecimento da pluralidade de usos da língua, além de corroborar o fato de ela ser empregada de maneiras distintas em diferentes contextos e para diversos fins. Isso abrange desde situações mais formais, como a escrita acadêmica, até interações informais do cotidiano. Por isso, este trabalho objetivou analisar o tratamento dado à variação linguística na prova de Linguagens, Códigos e suas Tecnologias do Enem nos anos de 2017 a 2023. Como procedimento metodológico, foi utilizada uma pesquisa documental. Como resultado, foi observado que a prova ainda oferece uma pequena discussão acerca da variação, quando comparada ao número extenso de questões, não aprofundando em temáticas como o preconceito linguístico, por exemplo.
Pelvic Ring Fracture Management and Subsequent Pregnancy: A Summary of Current Literature
Authors: Lewis Allison J. , Barker Elizabeth P. , Griswold B. Gage , Blair James A. , Davis Jana M.
Published: February 2024

Introduction:

The incidence of pelvic ring injuries is 34.3% per 100,000 capita. No studies have determined the ability of a female patient to have a vaginal delivery after undergoing pelvic fracture fixation. However, many obstetricians are generally unwilling to have their patients attempt a vaginal delivery in the setting of symphyseal or sacroiliac fixation.

Methods:

An exhaustive search of the National Library of Medicine database was performed, and it is hypothesized that cesarean section rates would be higher for women who have a child after one of these pelvic ring injuries.

Results:

There is a 15% increase in cesarean rates using data from the National Center for Health Statistics. In addition, there is an observable increase in new cesarean rates.

Discussion:

Currently, there is no clear evidence to support an elective cesarean section as the sole indication after a prior pelvic fracture. To date, no studies have determined the ability of a female patient to have a vaginal delivery after undergoing pelvic fracture fixation.

Conclusion:

Thus, until the increased cesarean section rate has been explained, it could be problematic to counsel the patient to avoid a vaginal delivery after sustaining a pelvic ring fracture. Hence, conducting additional studies on this topic would deem to be necessary.
