Published: January 2024

Sustainability — the characteristic, property, and goal of every responsible, mature, rational, and environmentally sensitive organization — has gained undeniable and incredible traction in the wine industry over the last few decades, influencing wine-making procedures and packaging. Determined actors inside and outside the industry have identified key environmental concerns, such as energy efficiency or recycling, that support promoting a sustainable industry. To explore how sustainability is implemented in the wine sector, we, the authors of this paper, conducted a systematic literature review methodology. The PRISMA model served as our primary criteria for focusing the literature search and was utilized in its execution. Our study analyses thirty scholarly publications, which are categorized according to three primary themes: (1) Wineries and Sustainability; (2) Wineries and Cognitive Biases; and (3) Wineries and Sustainability and Cognitive Biases. The novelty of the study lies in its use of a systematic literature review (SLR) to investigate the complex interaction between wine, cognitive biases, and sustainability with a combined focus. The findings point to the understudied domain of consumers' cognitive biases regarding alternate wine packaging. Our results show that there is potential for improvement in the wine sector in terms of sustainable packaging and the consumer behavior of accepting or rejecting specific packaging options. These areas are considered worthy of future holistic approach investigation because alternative packaging is critical to making the industry more environmentally friendly. Still, if consumers cannot accept and purchase wine thus packaged, such raises further questions. Our study may be helpful to stakeholders in the wine sector as practitioners increasingly seek to incorporate and promote sustainable practices in their operations.

Published: January 2024

La secuencia de etapas (proestro, estro, metaestro y diestro) que ocurren entre un periodo de celo a otro se conoce como ciclo estral o estro. En murciélagos, los estudios para determinar los ciclos reproductivos han estado basados principalmente en caracteres externos, por lo que la clasificación está sujeta a la experiencia del investigador. El análisis celular por citología vaginal es un método que permite identificar las etapas del ciclo estral con mayor confiabilidad. En esta investigación se empleó el método de citología vaginal para caracterizar el ciclo reproductivo de especies de murciélagos, muestreadas entre agosto de 2018 y febrero de 2020, en una zona perirubana del norte del cordillera Central. La condición reproductiva de las hembras capturadas fue determinada mediante caracteres externos y, para aquellas en condición no reproductiva, se realizó una citología vaginal en campo y el análisis posterior de placas mediante tinción de Wrigth. Se capturaron 73 individuos (38 hembras) de 13 especies de murciélagos. De 23 hembras analizadas, 56,5 % fueron encontrada en estro, 21,7 % en proestro, 17,3 % en diestro, y 4,3 % en metaestro. La citología vaginal es una metodología de bajo costo y riesgo para el seguimiento reproductivo de las poblaciones de murciélagos, que permite entender la relación entre reproducción y factores ambientales en ambientes antropizados. Este trabajo constituye el primer aporte sobre la biología reproductiva de murciélagos en un sistema urbano-rural en el departamento de Antioquia, y se configura en una primera referencia sobre los patrones estrales para las especies Sturnira ludovici y Carollia perspicillata.

Published: January 2024

La brucelosis canina es una enfermedad infecciosa causada por Brucella canis. Los caninos pueden infectarse por otras especies de Brucella como B. abortus, debido a la ingesta de tejidos o material contaminado provenientes de otros hospederos animales de la bacteria. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar la presencia de B. abortus y B. canis, y analizar los factores de riesgo asociados a Brucella spp. en caninos de municipios del norte de Antioquia durante el 2019. Para ello, se utilizaron 214 muestras de suero, que fueron obtenidos en las jornadas de esterilización ofrecidas por la Gobernación de Antioquia, a las que se les realizaron pruebas de inmunocromatografía y Rosa de Bengala para la detección de anticuerpos contra Brucella canis y B. abortus, respectivamente. Se obtuvo una seroprevalencia del 0 % para B. canis, y del 7 % (15/214) para B. abortus. La positividad por PCR a Brucella spp. fue del 2,25 % (2/89). Se asociaron como factores de riesgo el contacto con ganado bovino, permanecer la mayor parte del tiempo en el exterior de la vivienda y la presencia de tierra como suelo al interior de la vivienda. Este estudio reporta para Colombia la presencia de B. abortus en caninos que habitan zonas lecheras, y permite sugerir que los perros pueden participar como hospederos accidentales o puente de B. abortus en zonas epidemiológicamente activas para brucelosis, facilitando su diseminación y dificultando su erradicación en el territorio nacional.
Herpes Simplex Virus Esophagitis in an Immunocompetent Patient with Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Case Report
Authors: Moein Hamid-Rezax
Published: January 2024

Background: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) esophagitis is rarely seen in immunocompetent patients. Symptoms include odynophagia, dysphagia, fever, and/or extra-esophageal herpetic lesions. A male predominance is noted with individuals being inflicted with the illness in the third to fourth decade. Although HSV esophagitis has typical punch-out lesions on endoscopy, it is very similar in appearance to cytomegalovirus (CMV) and should be confirmed by tissue biopsy. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a rare complication of HSV esophagitis. Treatment of HSV esophagitis in immunocompetent patients is controversial.

Authors: Esmat Nouhi
Published: January 2024

Medication errors are recognized as a significant threat to patient safety and cause Moral Distress in nursing students. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between Medication Errors and Moral Distress in senior nursing students at Kerman University of medical sciences in 2017. This research was across-sectional descriptive correlation study conducted on 120 senior nursing students at Kerman University of medical sciences. The census method was used in this study. Data collection tools included background information, Corley’s Moral distress Questionnaire and Medication Error Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by parametric and nonparametric tests, spearman correlation coefficients and poison regression through SPSS software (version 19). The result indicated that average and standard deviation for total values of medication errors were (5.13±4.9). Maximum mean and standard deviation of errors in the education system was (2.4±2.3). Intensity and frequency of moral distress were (2.44±0.9) and (2.27±0.83), respectively. There was a direct and statistical relationship between medication errors and moral distress, (p=0.04). According to Regression test, the most affective variables on medication errors were independent job, frequency of moral distress, pharmacology education and accommodation status. Considering the impact of medication errors on Patient Safety, the study suggested that training and nursing clinics should take action to change the Method of Teaching Clinical Pharmacology, have more supervision on nursing student’s job, and reduce moral distress in clinical milieu. Similarly, these factors have a direct impact on medication errors
Assessing the Relationship between Controlled Substance Prescribing and Opioid Poisoning Toxicology
Authors: Henriksen Brian
Published: January 2024

This study updates previously reported drug overdose deaths in Allen County, Indiana with the purpose to evaluate changes in physician prescribing and drug overdose deaths following introduction of more restrictive Indiana controlled substance prescribing laws. In a retrospective review of drug overdose deaths, 2013-2017, Allen County, IN, autopsy, toxicology, police reports and prescribing data from the Indiana Scheduled Prescription Electronic Collection and Tracking Program (INSPECT) for 12 months preceding death were analyzed. Descriptive and correlational statistical measures were used. A total of 533 drug overdose deaths were reported: 414 deaths with complete records (369 unintentional, 42 intentional, 3 undetermined). Decedents, mean age 42.3 years, were more likely male (60.6%), Caucasian (89.1%) and employed (70.2%). Overdose deaths increased significantly between 2014 (n=53) and 2017 (n=133). Non-prescribed opioids were present in 293 (70.8%) deaths and 298 (72%) deaths involved multiple substances. Fentanyl-related deaths markedly increased (2 (3.2%) in 2013, 67 (50.5%) in 2017) and correlate with police fentanyl seizures. The average number of prescribed controlled substances significantly decreased. Non-prescribed controlled substances including opioids contributed to most deaths. While gains have been made with responsible opioid prescribing, the current crisis is fueled by illicit opioids.
Understanding the Concept of “Nutraceutical”
Authors: Haider Rehan 
Published: January 2024

Nutraceuticals, a portmanteau of “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical,” represent a rapidly growing and evolving field in the realm of health and wellness. This term refers to products that combine the benefits of both nutrition and pharmaceuticals, as they aim to promote health and prevent or manage diseases. Nutraceuticals encompass a wide range of substances, including vitamins, minerals, herbs, dietary supplements, functional foods, and bioactive compounds. The core concept behind nutraceuticals is their potential to deliver therapeutic effects beyond basic nutrition. They are designed to bridge the gap between dietary insufficiencies and pharmaceutical interventions. Nutraceuticals may enhance overall well-being, support specific physiological functions, or alleviate symptoms associated with various medical conditions.

Published: January 2024

The article presented follows the deductive method, with a hermeneutic paradigm and a qualitative approach. The aim is to highlight the theoretical framework of three of the emerging or disruptive technologies (augmented and virtual reality, and artificial intelligence) and their use mainly in the educational sector and in other economic activities. The purpose of augmented reality is to incorporate digital information (images, video and audio) into the real world, while virtual reality allows users to enter an alternative world through immersion, which is simulated by a computer or other device. In addition to the educational field, its applications are in commerce, health, tourism, leisure and entertainment, and the defense sector. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly present in daily and everyday activities. AI is the use of systems with a certain degree of autonomy, which seeks to emulate human behavior, using algorithms to achieve specific objectives or solve problems. In the educational field, AI can be applied from elementary to postgraduate level, because if integrated with active learning methodologies, it can generate an improvement and interest among students.
State Actors in Agrarian Conflicts
Authors: Rahmawati Etika , Rahayu Esmi Warassih Pudji , Sukirno Sukirno
Published: January 2024

This study focuses on the involvement of state actors in agrarian conflict. Various policies have been introduced in order to resolve the agrarian conflicts. However, the existence of these policies did not necessarily bring about positive changes in the subsequent years. From 2012 to 2022 (a decade), agrarian conflicts have become increasingly uncontrollable. Throughout the year 2022, there were at least 212 eruptions of agrarian conflicts in various investment and corporate-based business sectors. Permits, concessions, and land rights continued to be granted to companies, even though these companies had caused numerous agrarian conflicts within the community. The implementation of the rule of law concept has not been able to be fully realized as it should. The ongoing agrarian conflicts have demonstrated how the state acts based on power when directly dealing with the community. Using the theories of legitimacy and space production, the issues regarding agrarian conflicts and the state actors involved will be analyzed in-depth.

Governance and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers in Malaysia
Authors: Prianto Andi Luhur , Amri Aqmal Reza , Ajis Mohd Na’eim
Published: January 2024

Protecting Indonesian migrant workers (IMWs) in Malaysia is a matter of great significance due to Indonesia's status as one of the primary source countries for migrant workers to Malaysia. Consequently, it necessitates the implementation of comprehensive governance measures by both nations. This paper aims to analyze the joint endeavors and collaborative frameworks established between governments of Indonesia and Malaysia. Additionally, it seeks to identify the network of policies and innovations enacted in both countries related to the protection and regulation of migrant workers. This research was enhanced through the utilization of NVivo qualitative analysis software. This article shows that efforts to protect IMWs in Malaysia involve many government institutions in both countries, especially at ministerial and departmental levels. The policies established between the two countries are also able to support the success of migrant protection, especially with the agreement between the two countries in the form of signing a Memorandum of Understanding  (MoU). This MoU gave birth to innovation in digital-based migrant worker protection services, namely a "one channel system" as the only official mechanism for recruiting workers. However, at the implementation stage, this innovation has not gone well and necessitated a sincere effort from both countries in implementing it, especially Malaysia as the destination country.

Published: January 2024

During growing seasons 2018-2019 and in winter 2021, the flora of vascular plants and bryophytes of the Nature Monument Vrelo Une in southern Croatia was studied. The previous floristic data available for this area, covering 9.58 ha, are sparse, and this study recorded 219 taxa of vascular plants from 59 families. The species-richest families are Compositae (10.5%), Fabaceae (8.2%), Poaceae (7.8%), and Lamiaceae (6.4%). Additionally, 64 bryophyte species (14 liverworts and 50 mosses) were recorded. The spectrum of biogeographic elements of vascular plants places the study area in the Euro-Siberian region, at the meeting point of two vegetation sub-zones within the European broadleaf deciduous forests zone – thermophilic, sub-Mediterranean forests of the class Quercetea pubescentis and mesic forests of the class Carpino-Fagetea sylvaticae. The species of the South-eastern European and Illyrian elements give a local distinctiveness to the flora. The biogeographic elements of bryophytes are less sensitive but reflect the same biogeographical pattern. Since most of the researched area is covered by forests and thickets, the largest number of species of vascular plants are associated with these particular habitats, while rocks and aquatic habitats are the most important for bryophyte diversity. In terms of the IUCN categories, four species are classified as near threatened, three as least concern and three as data deficient. Invasive species have not been recorded.

Published: January 2024

The flora of the Žeževica area was studied and listed in 2020. In all, 436 taxa from 286 genera and 83 families were recorded. Most taxa belong to the families Poaceae (9.63%) and Fabaceae (9.40%). The most abundant life forms are hemicryptophytes (34.63%) and therophytes (30.96%). As for the chorological analysis, most of the plants belong to Mediterranean (36.24%) and Southern European (22.02%) floral elements. A total of 14 endemic, 34 strictly protected and 22 threatened taxa were recorded. Most of the endemic species belong to the Illyrian Adriatic endemic plants. Of the alien flora, 23 taxa were listed, 16 plants of which are invasive. The greatest plant diversity was found in sites with different habitats, such as dry grasslands in olive groves and vineyards. The reduction of habitat diversity and the introduction of invasive taxa have proved to be the main problems leading to the reduction of plant richness. For this reason, the maintenance of diverse habitats with appropriate human influence are important for the conservation of the biodiversity in such areas.

During the last few years, numerous surveys were undertaken to improve the knowledge of the Croatian pyraloid moth fauna. The first author carried out research from 2016 until 2022 on the island of Brač in Dalmatia. The second and third authors carried out research in 2018 and 2019 in the area around Zadar in Dalmatia and the region of Lika. The fourth author collected specimens in 2012 and 2022 in the area of Šibenik, Dalmatia, and the fifth author in 2008, in the area of Split, also in Dalmatia. A list of all recorded species from several locations in Dalmatia and Lika is presented, containing the first data on pyraloid moths from the island of Brač. Throughout these surveys, a total of 163 species were recorded, of which nine are new to the Croatian moth fauna. From the family Pyralidae, the following species were recorded for the first time: Aphomia foedella (Zeller, 1839), Apomyelois bistriatella (Hulst, 1887), Delplanqueia inscriptella (Duponchel, 1836), Epischnia asteris Staudinger, 1870, Melathrix coenulentella (Zeller, 1846), Phycita asselbergsi Slamka, 2019 and Phycitodes saxicola (Vaughan, 1870). From the family Crambidae the following species were reported for the first time from Croatia: Hyperlais lutosalis (Mann, 1862), and Pyrausta rectefascialis Toll, 1936. The rare and endangered thermophilic species Ostrinia quadripunctalis (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) and the myrmecophilous Aglossa signicostalis Staudinger, 1870 were also identified. These findings are the second records from Croatia and hereby represent a contribution to their known distribution in Croatia. The finding of two specimens identified as Evergestis infirmalis Staudinger, 1870 – previously unreported from Croatia and the Balkan Peninsula – is presented. DNA barcode data reveal a possible misidentification with all the Evergestis caesialis (Herrich-Schäffer, [1849]) identified from Croatia. Images of the imago and the genitalia, as well as the DNA barcode sequences, are also presented. With these nine additions to the checklist, the Croatian pyraloid moth fauna now numbers 406 species.

Published: January 2024

The potato is a very important crop in Albania and the cultivation of new cultivars with high productivity and better quality is very significant. This study was conducted to test some imported cultivars of potato and explore some features in their characterization and evaluation, with the aim of increasing interest in those that are the best for Albanian farmers, as well as for other studies. Thirteen potato cultivars of foreign origin were tested in a field trial for their morphological and agronomical characteristics under the climatic conditions of the Tirana region. It was found that among the potato cultivars studied there is a significant variation, both in the characterization traits (qualitative traits) and in the evaluation traits (quantitative traits). Drawing on the conclusions reached, we recommend the most suitable cultivars for cultivation in this region.

Published: January 2024

From 2018 to 2022, at 10 localities on Bansko Hill, 3,639 horseflies were sampled. Most specimens (3,404) were sampled in 2022 in the period from mid-May to mid-September. The horseflies sampled are classified into two subfamilies, six genera and 19 species. The species Hybomitra ukrainica (Olsufjev, 1952), Tabanus miki Brauer in Brauer and Bergenstamm, 1880, Haematopota grandis Meigen, 1820 and Haematopota pandazisi (Kröber, 1936) are new finds of horsefly species for the studied area. The species Tabanus tergestinus Egger, 1859 is the most abundant species and makes up 71.11% of the horseflies sampled. The species Tabanus bromius L., 1758 followed with 10.16% of the abundance, Tabanus sudeticus Zeller, 1842 with 8.82% and Atylotus loewianus (Villeneuve, 1920) with 5.74% of the horseflies sampled, while 15 other species of horseflies were represented by the remaining 4.17%. In the collected sample, male horseflies accounted for 51.71% of the sample; all of them were sampled with an oil liquid trap. The largest number of horseflies (84.14%) were sampled in localities on the northeastern side of Bansko Hill, covered with forest vegetation of secondary origin. Three species, T. bromius, T. tergestinus and Heptatoma pellucens, (Fabricius, 1776) have the longest flight period, from mid-May to mid-September. The highest peaks of abundance for T. tergestinus, T. bromius, and T. sudeticus were recorded in July, for H. pellucens in June and for A. loewianus in August. The greatest similarity in horsefly fauna (85.71%) was recorded in the localities Popovac and Karanac. 90.98% of horseflies were collected by liquid oil traps, followed by sticky traps (5.22%) and canopy traps (3.79%). Data from earlier studies from 2011 and data from the current studies in the area of Bansko Hill have yielded records of 22 species of horsefly.
Revelación pública de infracciones cometidas por la empresa y ejercicio de la libertad de información por la persona trabajadora en cuanto informante (whistleblower). Criterios a la luz de la doctrina del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos y del Tribuna

Published: January 2024

La Ley 2/2023 de protección de la persona informante regula en su artículo 28.2 la opción que tiene aquella de acudir directamente a la prensa para revelar posibles infracciones, sin haber utilizado previamente los canales interno y externo de comunicación contemplados en la misma ley , con la condición de que esa revelación se haga en el ejercicio de la libertad de información. El presente trabajo tiene por objeto examinar qué ha de entenderse por ese ejercicio lícito de tal libertad por la persona trabajadora que acude a la prensa para denunciar esas irregularidades de su empleadora. Para ello examina los criterios establecidos al respecto tanto por el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos como por nuestro Tribunal Constitucional, identificando coincidencias y algunas diferencias, de forma que podamos establecer unos parámetros legales que ayuden a determinar cuándo es adecuada la utilización de esa vía de revelación pública a la prensa por una persona trabajadora que tan trascendentales consecuencias puede tener para la empresa afectada.
El concepto de “tiempo de trabajo” ante el nuevo paradigma laboral. Desplazamientos, tiempos de presencia y guardias de disponibilidad y localización
Authors: Basterra Hernández Miguel
Published: January 2024

La normativa de referencia (tanto comunitaria como interna) parte de una delimitación dicotómica, excluyente y restrictiva del tiempo de trabajo y el tiempo de descanso, que pone el foco en la presencia física del trabajador en su puesto de acuerdo con los cánones clásicos del sector industrial típico o tradicional. Sin embargo, la revolución tecnológica y digital ha provocado un desbordamiento de esas coordenadas clásicas y la consiguiente necesidad de que los tribunales reinterpreten, en este nuevo paradigma, toda una serie de categorías que se sitúan en esa “zona gris” entre el tiempo de trabajo y el tiempo de descanso; todo lo cual se estudia y valora desde una óptica crítica en las siguientes páginas.

Authors: Rodrigo Sanbartolomé Francisco Agustín
Published: January 2024

El 20 de diciembre de 2022 los Juzgados de lo Social nº 10 y nº 39 de Madrid adoptaron medidas cautelares de paralización de la huelga convocada en el Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Barajas. Dichos Autos han reactivado el interés doctrinal por el esclarecimiento de la admisibilidad jurídica de este tipo de medidas que fueron introducidas, por vez primera, por el Auto de 14 de mayo de 2015 de la Sala de lo Social de la Audiencia Nacional con relación a la paralización de una huelga convocada en el ámbito de la Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional. El presente estudio aborda el análisis de los presupuestos habilitantes de las medidas cautelares y su posible concurrencia en estos supuestos, así como los elementos delimitadores del contenido esencial del derecho fundamental de huelga en orden a valorar su eventual compatibilidad con aquéllas, sometiendo a juicio crítico individualizado las distintas resoluciones judiciales que han adoptado este tipo de medidas
Uncovering the Bias in Facial Expressions
Authors: Deuschel Jessica , Finzel Bettina , Rieger Ines
Published: January 2024

Over the past decades the machine and deep learning community has celebrated great achievements in challenging tasks such as image classification. The deep architecture of artificial neural networks together with the plenitude of available data makes it possible to describe highly complex relations. Yet, it is still impossible to fully capture what the deep learning model has learned and to verify that it operates fairly and without creating bias, especially in critical tasks, for instance those arising in the medical field. One example for such a task is the detection of distinct facial expressions, called Action Units, in facial images. Considering this specific task, our research aims to provide transparency regarding bias, specifically in relation to gender and skin color. We train a neural network for Action Unit classification and analyze its performance quantitatively based on its accuracy and qualitatively based on heatmaps. A structured review of our results indicates that we are able to detect bias. Even though we cannot conclude from our results that lower classification performance emerged solely from gender and skin color bias, these biases must be addressed, which is why we end by giving suggestions on how the detected bias can be avoided.

Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar situações de Insegurança Alimentar e caracterizar práticas alimentares de famílias de escolares de instituições públicas de ensino em período de pandemia. Métodos: Foram recrutados responsáveis de crianças do ensino fundamental de municípios do sul de Minas Gerais, no período de outubro a novembro de 2020. Os questionários foram enviados via aplicativos de mensagens, contendo questões sobre Insegurança Alimentar, prátias alimentares e dados socioeconômicos. Foram realizadas análises descritivas e teste de qui-quadrado. Resultados: Os resultados obtidos demonstram que 65,4% estavam em situação de Insegurança Alimentar. Analisando suas práticas alimentares, grande parcela tinha consumo de bebidas açucaradas e ausência de frutas no café da manhã e lanches. Em relação a comensalidade, afirmaram comer com calma e não frequentar fast-foods. Discussão: A alta porcentagem da amostra em insegurança alimentar e as práticas alimentares relatadas ressaltam a necessidade de monitoramento das situações de Insegurança Alimentar e de se estimular a adoção de práticas alimentares mais adequadas, saudáveis e sustentáveis, devido aos impactos ocasionados pela pandemia de COVID-19, o que pode ser conseguido por ações de educação alimentar e nutricional.
A Review: Artificial Intelligence Related to Agricultural Equipment Integrated with the Internet of Things
Authors: Wildan Juhen
Published: January 2024

Abstract—The development of modern technology has brought progress to the agricultural sector. Previously, farming was carried out using traditional methods, resulting in lower crop production. Now the world is faced with various problems, there are challenges such as climate fluctuations and increasing human population. This problem causes food needs to increase drastically, so adopting Industry 4.0 technology in the agricultural sector is necessary. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) are part of industrial technology advances 4.0 that can be applied to modern agriculture. This paper reviews several AI technologies used in the agricultural sector, such as Fuzzy Logic (FL), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Decision Support System (DSS). The application form of integration between AI and IoT is divided into several categories: soil monitoring, agricultural irrigation, fertilizer spraying, pest and plant disease control, harvesting, forecasting, and yield monitoring. This review paper was created to provide a comprehensive overview of modern agriculture integrating AI and IoT.

This study aimed to examine the physical response of international referees, participating in different levels of world competitions for footballers with cerebral palsy (CP). Thirteen international referees, who officiated 49 matches in the men’s 2022 World Cup (1st to 15th ranked teams) and 2022 World Championships (16th to 30th ranked teams), participated in this study. A cross-sectional design was used to determine the physical responses and compare the 1st and 2nd halves and the performance in the different tournaments, recording physical variables throughout the matches. Significant higher physical responses (p < 0.05; d = 0.50-0.93; moderate to large) were observed in the World Cup in comparison to the World Championship. Overall, high-level tournaments have been shown to elicit more intense physical responses from referees officiating CP football matches compared to lower-level tournaments. For the World Cup, significantly higher number of accelerations (p = 0.01; d = -0.55; moderate) and decelerations (p < 0.01; d = -0.54; moderate) were registered in the 1st half compared to the 2nd half. This information may be useful for the strength and conditioning coaches of referees to plan weekly training sessions more specifically and adjust the periodical training load and post-match recovery protocols.
Collembola Communities Reflect Soil Recovery After Fire in Mediterranean Pinus pinaster Forests
Authors: Luciáñez María José , Serena Alicia
Published: January 2024

In the present work we have studied the short-term edaphic recovery of a burned pine forest of Pinus pinaster Aiton in Cerro del Castillo (Sierra de Guadarrama, Central Spain) in which a hydrological-forestry restoration was being carried out after the fire occurred in July 2022. For this purpose, variations in physicochemical properties (conductivity, relative humidity, organic matter and pH) and collembolan communities were analyzed by comparing the soils of a natural pine forest and a burned pine forest during the 24 weeks after the fire in 3 different samplings. With the data obtained, a series of diversity indices were calculated and statistical analyses such as ANOVA, hierarchical classification and principal component analysis were developed, with the aim of understanding in greater depth the recovery of collembolan populations, the changes in these physicochemical variables and the relationships between both parameters.

This study shows how the fire reduced the amount of organic matter and water, and increased soil pH and conductivity, affecting edaphic fauna populations. In the short term, there was an increase in relative humidity and a decrease in electrical conductivity.

The edaphic fauna communities of the burned pine forest increased their diversity and equity without reaching the values of the natural pine forest. At the specific level, however, the springtail populations matched the richness and even reached a very slightly higher Shanon-Wiener diversity index than that the natural pine forest populations in just 24 weeks. Finally, it was observed that the samples from the burned pine forest with recovered collembolan populations had the closest physicochemical parameters to those of the natural pine forest.

Published: January 2024

In Nigeria, Cervical cancer (CC) and lack of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) awareness poses significant HPV infection risk among women. This study was conducted at Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) University in Nigeria; focused on assessing HPV awareness and knowledge, particularly concerning its association with CC and oral contraceptive (OC) pills among students and staff. We adapted and validated a 20-item HPV knowledge scale and explored factors influencing knowledge, vaccination rates, awareness, and the impact of ethnicity on HPV knowledge. Also, due to the non-normality of the knowledge score, non-parametric tests were done. Data were summarized using median and interquartile range (IQR), while categorical data were presented in frequency and percentage distribution. We established the reliability of the 20-item knowledge scale with a strong Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.913, indicating internal consistency. However, it revealed a concerning lack of awareness and knowledge about HPV, only 34.8% of participants were aware of HPV infection, and only 25.0% knew about HPV vaccine. Additionally, ethnicity was identified as a significant factor affecting HPV knowledge. Considering these findings, this study emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to enhance HPV awareness and knowledge, particularly among specific ethnic groups. Despite the development and validation of a reliable knowledge scale, the study underscores the importance of educational initiatives to address this knowledge gap, ultimately reducing the risk of HPV infection and CC in Nigeria.

Authors: Thomopoulos Vasileios , Tsichlas Kostas
Published: January 2024

In this research, we present the first steps taken towards a data-driven agent-based model (ABM) specifically designed for simulating infectious disease dynamics in Greece. Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, this research holds significant importance as it can offer valuable insights into disease transmission patterns and assist in devising effective intervention strategies. To the best of our knowledge, no similar study has been conducted in Greece. We constructed a prototype ABM that utilizes publicly accessible data to accurately represent the complex interactions and dynamics of disease spread in the Greek population. By incorporating demographic information and behavioral patterns, our model captures the specific characteristics of Greece, enabling accurate and context-specific simulations. By using our proposed ABM, we aim to assist policymakers in making informed decisions regarding disease control and prevention. Through the use of simulations, policymakers have the opportunity to explore different scenarios and predict the possible results of various intervention measures. These may include strategies like testing approaches, contact tracing, vaccination campaigns, and social distancing measures. Through these simulations, policymakers can assess the effectiveness and feasibility of these interventions, leading to the development of well-informed strategies aimed at reducing the impact of infectious diseases on the Greek population. This study is an initial exploration toward understanding disease transmission patterns and a first step towards formulating effective intervention strategies for Greece.

A temporary monitoring system was installed on the 175-years-old historical Széchenyi chain bridge under its reconstruction process. The bridge is in the downtown area of the capital city of Hungary and plays a significant role in city life of Budapest. Six-month-long measurements were conducted during the reconstruction process of the bridge, yielding crucial insights into the structural behaviour of the historical structure. Measurement results were evaluated; the findings encompass the rotation capacity of pins between chain elements, and structural response to temperature changes. This information helped the decision-making of designers and construction company during the reconstruction made between 2021 and 2023. For instance, daily temperature fluctuations result in increased bending moments in the chain elements, rising up to 158% compared to the values observed during a proof load test in 2018. Furthermore, the measurements reveal an approximate 42% increase in normal forces compared to the proof load test, which highlights the high sensitivity of chain bridges to temperature fluctuations, where geometric stiffness plays a crucial role. Reconstruction, reducing self-weight, notably intensifies the impact on normal forces and bending moments. These outcomes strongly emphasize the dominance of dead load and self-weight in the case of chain bridges.
Optimal Design of Group Orthogonal Phase Coded Waveforms for MIMO Radar

Published: January 2024

Digital-Radio-Frequency-Memory (DRFM) has emerged as an advanced technique to achieve diverse jamming signals, due to its capability of intercepting waveforms within a short time. Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radars can transmit agile orthogonal waveform sets for different pulses to combat the DRFM-based jamming, where any two groups of waveform sets are also orthogonal. In order to design multiple groups of orthogonal waveform sets at the same time, this article formulates a group orthogonal waveforms optimal design model, whose objec-tive function is the weighted sum of the intra- and inter-group orthogonal performances metrics. To solve this optimization problem, this article proposes a group orthogonal waveforms design algorithm. Based on a primal-dual type method and proper relaxations, the proposed algorithm transforms the original problem into a series of simple sub-problems. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has the ability to balance the intra- and inter-group orthogonal performances by adjusting the weighting factors, which is not available using other state-of-the-art orthogonal waveform design algorithms.

Published: January 2024

Emerging zoonotic diseases are one of the main threats to human and animal health and among the agents with the potential for zoonoses, those of bacterial origin have great relevance in Public Health. Rodents are considered one of the main reservoirs of pathogens that represent a risk to human health or animal species. In this study, we used massive 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing and microbial community ecology analyses to survey bacteria present in the spleen of six species of rodents in Panama, in order to identify bacterial taxa with zoonotic potential in the country. We found 3,352 bacterial Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASVs i.e. phylogenetic species) in the spleen of six rodents species surveyed (Liomys adspersus, Melanomys caliginosus, Mus musculus, Proechimys semispinosus, Rattus rattus, Zygodontomys brevicauda). This bacterial community was represented by 25 phyla, 55 classes, 140 orders, 268 families, and 508 genera. The three predominant phyla were Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria and the five predominant classes were Actinobacteria, Alpha- and Gammaproteobacteria, Bacilli, and Clostridia. The high abundance genera were seven: Acinetobacter, Bartonella, Cutibacterium, Enterococcus, Sarcina, Staphylococcus, and Wolbachia. Genera found with less abundance included Bradyrhizobium, Chryseobacterium, Clostridium, Corynebacterium, Lactobacillus, Pseudonocardia, Rhodococcus, and Sphingomonas. Some of these genera (high or low abundance) have clinical importance. Overall, this study contributes to generating information on the potential of different species of rodents as reservoirs of bacterial zoonosis in Panama.
