Penerapan Metode Enhanced Phytoremediation pada Lahan Bekas Tambang Emas Desa Tirta Kencana Kecamatan Bengkayang
Authors: Khairunnisa Aulia , Sulastri Aini , Jumiati Jumiati
Published: October 2024

Community gold mining activities using the amalgamation method cause soil pollution due to the use of mercury (Hg) to extract gold content which causes a decrease in soil quality and environmental damage. Enhanced phytoremediation is a method that can be applied to remove mercury levels with using the Cyperus kyllingia plant and adding supporting elements in the form of bacterial isolates that are resistant to mercury. This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of Cyperus kyllingia plants and bacterial isolates for removing mercury levels in mercury-contaminated soil, as well as observing the bacterial population and plant morphology during the research. Based on the research results, it is known that the best efficiency value for removing mercury levels is found in phytoremediation with the addition of bacterial isolates, namely 86.88%. The largest bacterial population was found in the phytoremediation reactor with the addition of bacterial isolates, namely 73.3 × 106 CFU/mL. The mercury content in polluted soil causes changes in plant morphology, namely the color of green plants changes to yellow, but plants can reproduce as indicated by an increase in the number of leaves and plant stems

Matching upper bounds on symmetric predicates in quantum communication complexity
Authors: Suruga Daiki
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we focus on the quantum communication complexity of functions of the form $f \circ G = f(G(X_1, Y_1), \ldots, G(X_n, Y_n))$ where $f: \Bset^n \to \Bset$ is a symmetric function, $G: \Bset^j \times \Bset^k \to \Bset$ is any function and Alice (resp. Bob) is given $(X_i)_{i \in [n]}$ (resp. $(Y_i)_{i \in [n]}$). Recently, Chakraborty et al. [STACS 2022] showed that the quantum communication complexity of $f \circ G$ is $O(Q(f)\QCCEX(G))$ when the parties are allowed to use shared entanglement, where $Q(f)$ is the query complexity of $f$ and $\QCCEX(G)$ is the exact communication complexity of $G$. }{In this paper, we first show that the same statement holds \emph{without both shared entanglement and shared randomness}, which generalizes their result. Based on the improved result, we next show tight upper bounds on $f \circ \mathrm{AND}_2$ for any symmetric function $f$ (where $\textrm{AND}_2 : \Bset \times \Bset \to \Bset$ denotes the 2-bit AND function) in both models: with shared entanglement and without shared entanglement. This matches the well-known lower bound by Razborov~[Izv. Math. 67(1) 145, 2003] when shared entanglement is allowed and improves Razborov's bound when shared entanglement is not allowed.
The signaling dimension of two-dimensional and polytopic systems
Authors: Kai Shuriku , Dall'Arno Michele
Published: October 2024

The signaling dimension of any given physical system represents its classical simulation cost, that is, the minimum dimension of a classical system capable of reproducing all the input/output correlations of the given system. The signaling dimension landscape is vastly unexplored; the only non-trivial systems whose signaling dimension is known -- other than quantum systems -- are the octahedron and the composition of two squares.}{Building on previous results by Matsumoto, Kimura, and Frenkel, our first result consists of deriving bounds on the signaling dimension of any system as a function of its Minkowski measure of asymmetry. We use such bounds to prove that the signaling dimension of any two-dimensional system (i.e. with two-dimensional set of admissible states, such as polygons and the real qubit) is two if and only if such a set is centrally symmetric, and three otherwise, thus conclusively settling the problem of the signaling dimension for such systems.} {Guided by the relevance of symmetries in the two dimensional case, we propose a branch and bound division-free algorithm for the exact computation of the symmetries of any given polytope, in polynomial time in the number of vertices and in factorial time in the dimension of the space. Our second result then consist of providing an algorithm for the exact computation of the signaling dimension of any given system, that outperforms previous proposals by exploiting the aforementioned bounds to improve its pruning techniques and incorporating as a subroutine the aforementioned symmetries-finding algorithm. We apply our algorithm to compute the exact value of the signaling dimension for all rational Platonic, Archimedean, and Catalan solids, and for the class of hyper-octahedral systems up to dimension five.
Structure of resource theory of block coherence
Authors: Dey P. K. , Chakraborty D. , Char P. , Chattopadhyay I. , Bhar A. , Sarkar D.
Published: October 2024

Emerging from the superposition principle, the resource theory of coherence plays a crucial role in many information-processing tasks. Recently, a generalization to this resource theory was investigated with respect to arbitrary positive operator valued measurement (POVM) based on Naimark's dilation theorem. Here, we introduce the notion of Block Incoherent Operations (BIO), Strictly Block Incoherent Operations (SBIO) and Physically Block Incoherent Operations (PBIO) and provide an analytical expression for Kraus operators of these operations to have a better understanding of the resource theory of block coherence which in turn gives a more clear picture of POVM based resource theory of coherence. A dilation theorem corresponding to SBIO has been introduced to enlighten the proper physical interpretation of this operation. These free operations will be helpful in finding out the conditions of state transformations and could be implemented in various protocols. For a transparent view of this resource theory, we have successfully introduced the concept of state transformation under SBIO.
New entanglement-assisted MDS quantum constacyclic codes
Authors: Liu Hangyu , Huang Sujuan , Wang Liqi , Zhu Shixin
Published: October 2024

Entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting codes can be seen as a new-type of quantum error-correcting codes and can be constructed from arbitrary linear codes which should not satisfy the dual-containing condition by utilizing shared entangled states between the sender and the receiver in advance. In this paper, we construct several new classes of entanglement-assisted quantum maximum-distance-separable codes from constacyclic codes and cyclic codes by exploiting small pre-shared entangled states, respectively. These codes are new in the sense that they are not covered by the codes available in the literature.

Published: October 2024

Induced tissue damage in target organs (kidneys, heart, eyes, liver, skin, nervous system) significantly contributes to the morbidity and mortality of patients from diabetes mellitus (DM). In recent decades, the question has been actively discussed: should the lungs be regarded as a target organ for diabetes? The c collected data demonstrate histological and functional lung disorders in DM patients. This suggests that the lungs are a target organ for diabetes. It is known that sirtuins regulate a number of physiological processes and affect obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 DM, heart disease and aging. In this review, we have tried to summarize the knowledge about the contribution of sirtuins to cellular regulation and the formation of pulmonary disease in patients with type 2 DM.

Published: October 2024

Aspects of the clinical use of herbal preparations for acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) are considered, in the pathogenesis of which swelling of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses plays a key role. The irrational use of antibacterial drugs for the treatment of uncomplicated ARS has led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria and the need to search for alternative treatment methods. Convincing evidence is presented for the need to use herbal medicines in both complex and monotherapy of ARS of viral and bacterial origin. This review assessed the quality of the evidence for the use of herbal medicine for acute rhinosinusitis to determine its position among other treatments and future directions for research. Clinical studies of the effectiveness of the drug Sinupret extract are presented, the use of which promotes the outflow of exudate from the paranasal sinuses and upper respiratory tract, preventing the development of complications.

Authors: Mamonova M.Yu.
Published: October 2024

Objective ‒ to analyse the results of cerebral angiography and venography with venous manometry in patients with medically refractory sdiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and venous sinus stenosis.Materials and methods. Informed consent was obtained from each patient (parent or guardian) enrolled in the study and the study protocol conforms to the ethical guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki as reflected in a priori approval by the Institutional Ethical Review Board (Institution's Human Research Committee). A retrospective analysis of the clinical and neuroimaging features of 9 patients with suspected IIH was performed. All patinets were treated at the SO «Scientific-Practical Center of Endovascular Neuroradiology NAMS of Ukraine» from January 2022 to January 2024. The criteria for inclusion in the study were: clinical symptoms of IIH without any other intracranial pathology according to imaging, lumbar pressure >20 cm H2O, and symptoms refractory to medication treatment (optic disc edema, pulsatile tinnitus, etc.). Pressure gradients in contiguous sites were calculated for each patient in standard anatomical sites (superior sagittal sinus ‒ sinus drain, sinus drain ‒ transverse sinus, transverse sinus ‒ sigmoid sinus, sigmoid sinus ‒ internal jugular vein). The adjacent anatomical gradients were defined as the difference between the mean venous sinus pressure measurements in the venous sinuses where the manometry was performed. Pathological pressure gradients in the venous sinuses were defined as pressure gradients >8 mm Hg based on established guidelines. Results. Out of the 9 patients with suspected IIH treated at the clinic, 2 patients were excluded. One female with combination of thrombosis in posterior third of superior sagittal sinus with left transverse sinus stenosis, the second (male) with bilateral jugular vein occlusions. Of the 7 patients (4 women and 3 men) with a mean age of 39.7 years, 4 (57.1 %) had pressure gradients >8 mm Hg (transverse sine ‒ sigmoidal sine) and underwent sinus stenting. All procedures were successful. After stent implantation, control manometry was performed, which showed the gradient decreasing to 0‒2 mm Hg at the level of stenosis. The control examination after stenting was performed in all patients and showed regression of general cerebral symptoms, as well as varying degrees of ocular improvement. Conclusions. Our study evaluated the degree of pressure reduction in the anatomical sites of the cerebral venous system and showed a progressive decrease in pressure from the sigmoid sinus to the jugular vein. The venous sinus stenting leads to elimination of the pressure gradient, as well as neurological and ophthalmic improvement in carefully selected patients with refractory to conservative therapy IIH with a transstenotic pressure gradient >8 mm Hg.

Published: October 2024

There is increasing evidence that physical activity positively affects cognitive function. Physical exercise activates molecular systems involved in metabolism and synaptic plasticity, and the interaction between these systems has been shown to influence cognitive function. The challenge for the scientific community is to find an optimal level of physical activity for students that will promote harmonious development and enhance the effectiveness of their academic performance. This article highlights the influence of various intensities of physical activity on the dynamics of intelligence indicators in male and female students. In the process of the pedagogical experiment, the students were distributed into two groups according to a certain mode of physical activity. The classes in the experimental group included exercises of high intensity, while the classes in the control group included mainly exercises of low intensity. Intellectual abilities were measured before and after 2 months of the pedagogical experiment. The Raven's Standardized Performance Matrices (SPM) test was used to assess intellectual abilities. The results of the study showed that the increase in intelligence indicators in the students of the experimental group is statistically significant, in contrast to the control group. At the same time, it was not possible to identify significant differences using ANOVA. The obtained data are useful in the context of further research, as they show specialists engaged in the study and development of the cognitive abilities of students, different possibilities of influence and a certain range in the organization of further.

Published: October 2024

Self-managed teams are perceived as highly productive and have been actively studied in recent times. Considering this, the notion of the utility of establishing and cultivating such teams in small and medium-sized businesses in Kazakhstan has emerged, aiming to enhance their role in the country's economic development. Therefore, the authors of this article have resolved to conduct an empirical study on teams operating within the SMEs sector of Kazakhstan. This study aims to present the findings of an initial survey conducted among employees of small and medium-sized enterprises to characterize their self-management capacities and identify factors influencing their self-management abilities. For this purpose, representatives of teams in small and medium businesses in Kazakhstan were surveyed. The design of the survey questionnaire involved three field experts to validate and refine the questions. Findings reveal that approximately two-thirds of SME teams in Kazakhstan demonstrate characteristics of cross-functionality, diversity, motivation, and co-location, indicative of their self-managing nature. This suggests agile management's potential for organizational goals. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first empirical study aimed to investigate how far the teams in Kazakhstani enterprises are self-managed. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2024-05-03-016 Full Text: PDF

Published: October 2024

Automated subjective assessment presents a significant challenge due to the complex nature of human language and reasoning characterized by semantic variability, subjectivity, language ambiguity, and judgment levels. Unlike objective exams, subjective assessments involve diverse answers, posing difficulties in automated scoring. The paper proposes a novel approach that integrates advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques with principled grading methods to address this challenge. Combining Transformer-based Sequence Language Modeling with sophisticated grading mechanisms aims to develop more accurate and efficient automatic grading systems for subjective assessments in education. The proposed approach consists of three main phases: Content Summarization: Relevant sentences are extracted using self-attention mechanisms, enabling the system to effectively summarize the content of the responses. Key Term Identification and Comparison: Key terms are identified within the responses and treated as overt tags. These tags are then compared to reference keys using cross-attention mechanisms, allowing for a nuanced evaluation of the response content. Grading Process: Responses are graded using a weighted multi-criteria decision method, which assesses various quality aspects and assigns partial scores accordingly. Experimental results on the SQUAD dataset demonstrate the approach’s effectiveness, achieving an impressive F-score of 86%. Furthermore, significant improvements in metrics like ROUGE, BLEU, and METEOR scores were observed, validating the efficacy of the proposed approach in automating subjective assessment tasks. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2024-05-03-06 Full Text: PDF

Published: October 2024

Heterogeneous network is a network connecting mobile station (MS) with different kinds of wireless network. It will provide an efficient network connection for mobile users. When considering various wireless access technologies, it's difficult to search out reliable criteria to pick out the most effective offered wireless heterogeneous network. . Game theory techniques have been receiving growing attention in recent years as they can be adopted in order to model and understand competitive and cooperative scenarios between rational decision makers.In this paper, our aim is to develop an economical wireless network choice algorithm which is optimized using enhanced Normal Form Optimization Algorithm which follows game theory based procedure . This algorithm is proposed for optimizing the heterogeneous wireless environment comprising universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) and long term evaluation (LTE). Further, within optimization algorithm resource allocation is considered as an objective function. The incorporated optimization algorithm is involved in the optimal computation process for reducing channel complexity through optimal solution estimation. The computation complexity of proposed Normal Form Optimization Algorithm with TOPSIS method (NFOA-TOPSIS) measured in terms of running time and network utilization is measured in terms of the Packet Delivery Rate (PDR), throughput, simulation time, end-to-end delay and Power consumption. The simulation results expressed that the proposed NFOA provides reduced running time and increases PDR rather than conventional MADM (i.e., Hybrid Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP)& Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution -Hybrid FHAP-TOPSIS) method. The reduce in running time implies reduced complexity of proposed scheme. Also, the increase in PDR and throughput leads to reduced end-to-end delay and power consumption resulted in efficient utilization of available channels in heterogeneous networks.

Instagram vs reality: Exploring local culture through various lenses
Authors: Yeh Ellen , Swinehart Nicholas
Published: October 2024

Rather than viewing online and face-to-face learning as two dichotomous domains (Kessler, 2018), this study seeks to explore ways that social media can be used to support and facilitate face-to-face exploration and communication in target language environments. It also aims to help English language learners improve their ability to critically evaluate social media by exploring a local community through a critical lens. This study applied the concept of “social media pathways” (authors, 2024) through an experiential learning model to integrate an authentic social networking site, Instagram, into an ESL curriculum for a community engagement project promoting a deeper and multifaceted understanding of the target language community. This study employed qualitative method approach, including seven international students’ reflections, a post-task questionnaire, and focus-group interview data, to investigate how the assumptions made from social media compare with observations made in the field. The findings were then used to establish a “Model for Community Exploration within Virtual and Face-to-face Contexts” that adds to the experiential learning framework the additional stages of experimentation, reflection, and new conceptualization that take place when learners use social media to form assumptions about a community and then use in-person exploration to test those hypotheses.
Pinky-Links and Eye Contact: How the Use of Pre-Competitive Routines Changed My Coaching Practices
Authors: Landers Suzanne
Published: October 2024

As a volleyball coach, my training approach has often relied on reproducing what I saw others do. Consequently, in this study, my purpose was to transform my own coaching practices with a U16 volleyball team. Through my learning during a post-graduate course-based Master’s degree, I became fascinated with pre-competitive (PC) routines and the potential they have to improve athletes’ positive psychological states during training and competition. I employed an iterative Action Research (AR) process to facilitate my learning and application of different PC routine approaches. Specifically, I aimed to challenge myself to examine critically not only my planning and implementation of PC routines (what I did), but also how this process helped me learn to become a more conscientious coach.

Relevance. According to the Federal Register of Diabetes Mellitus, the number of patients diagnosed with diabetes is 4.9 million people, which is 3.31% of the population of the Russian Federation. The search for new antidiabetic drugs today is still an urgent task of pharmacy. Currently, doctors have a fairly wide range of synthetic drugs in their arsenal, but the issue of rational pharmacotherapy is still open. And in this regard, medicinal prod-ucts of natural origin look promising. The aim of the study was to evaluate the theoretical possibility of intermolecular interaction of a number of biologically active substances of plant origin with the active site of non-receptor type 1 tyrosine-protein phosphatase (PTP1B) and the active site of the intestinal maltase-glucoamylase (MGA) enzyme by molecular docking, as well as pharmacological confirmation of specific activity in the experiment. Material and methods. Male Wistar rats weighing 200–220 grams were used in the study. Modeling of diabetes mellitus was performed by a single intraperitoneal injection of alloxan (150 mg/kg) with a preliminary injection of nicotinamide (250 mg/kg). Animals with a model of diabetes mellitus (n=21) were introduced daily with the original combined substance of plant extracts of Galega officinalis L., Glycyrrhiza glabra L. and Mentha piperita L. at a dose of 500 mg/kg, reference drug - substance gliclazide – 60 mg/kg. The determination of the hypoglycemic effect was carried out after a single introductions and on the 14th day. Results. The hypoglycemic effect of the phytosubstance was established and the possibility of the influence of biologically active substances on PTP1B and MGA was evaluated. The results of molecular docking indicate a possible interaction of the studied objects with PTP1B and MGA; the highest values of docking are typical for kaempferol, caffeic and ellagic acids. In an in vivo study, a statistically significant decrease in the concentration of glucose in the blood of animals by 49.3% was found. Conclusions. The possibility of interaction of biologically active substances that are part of plant extracts with specific targets PTP1B and MGA was established by molecular docking, and the hypoglycemic effect of the proposed combined substance of plant extracts of goat's rue, licorice and pep-permint was confirmed in the experiment.

Published: October 2024

O dimensionamento de pavimentos aeroportuários é um processo que afeta diretamente a segurança e a eficiência das operações aeroportuárias. Alguns Softwares são usados para modelar as respostas do pavimento sob carga aeroportuária, mas essas análises, geralmente, consideram simplificações que podem não refletir com exatidão o comportamento do pavimento. Este estudo comparativo utilizou o software de análise de elementos finitos ABAQUS 2020 para desenvolver modelos 3D e 3D axissimétricos, comparando-os com os dados obtidos pelo software AEMC, uma ferramenta bidimensional com análise elástica das camadas. O objetivo foi verificar a deformação vertical no topo do subleito, simulando a aplicação de carga de uma aeronave modelo Airbus A320. Foi observado que os valores de deformação gerados pelo modelo 3D foram inferiores aos do AEMC, com diferenças de 16,74% embaixo da roda e 1,03% entre rodas, demonstrando uma subestimação por parte do modelo 3D. No entanto, o tempo de processamento do modelo 3D foi mais lento que o AEMC, apontando um possível impeditivo de sua aplicação em situações que requerem múltiplas simulações iterativas. O modelo 3D axissimétrico, por outro lado, mostrou-se mais eficiente em termos de processamento, com pequenas diferenças de deformação quando comparado com o AEMC. Conclui-se que a adoção de modelos 3D, em particular o modelo 3D axissimétrico, pode ser uma abordagem eficiente e precisa para a simulação de pavimentos aeroportuários, equilibrando resultados e eficiência no processamento.

Este artigo oferece uma análise geral da incidência de acidentes nas rodovias sob a administração do Departamento de Estradas de Rodagem do Estado de São Paulo (DER/SP), empregando uma abordagem geoespacial por meio de mapas de calor utilizando o método de densidade de Kernel. Após introduzir o contexto global dos acidentes de trânsito e esclarecer termos pertinentes à segurança viária, a pesquisa detalha a metodologia empregada para coletar dados sobre acidentes e para gerar os mapas de calor (heatmaps). Os resultados apresentam a distribuição tanto dos acidentes totais quanto das vítimas fatais, além de exemplificar um caso típico de acidente ocorrido em 2023 nas estradas estaduais sob a jurisdição do DER/SP. Além disso, o artigo fomenta uma discussão sobre a relevância do mapeamento da acidentalidade para fundamentar decisões na gestão do tráfego por parte de uma autarquia pública. Como desdobramento das análises conduzidas pelo DER/SP, a autarquia se empenha em estabelecer metas de curto, médio e longo prazo visando a efetiva redução do número de mortes e ferimentos graves nas estradas sob sua responsabilidade. Esse esforço se concentra na proteção dos usuários vulneráveis, na identificação de deficiências na infraestrutura viária e no monitoramento das tendências de acidentalidade. Essa iniciativa culmina na formulação de um abrangente Plano de Segurança Viária, consolidando um compromisso com a segurança e a integridade dos usuários das rodovias paulistas.
INVESTIGAÇÃO DA RELAÇÃO ENTRE A PRESENÇA DE BURACOS E O PADRÃO DE CONDUÇÃO VEICULAR

Published: October 2024

Os sinistros de trânsito ocorrem em função de diversos fatores, variando desde as condições mecânicas dos veículos, até o estado físico e mental do condutor. No entanto, a infraestrutura viária também é um fator que pode afetar o comportamento do motorista e, consequentemente, impactar a segurança. Nesse contexto, a presença de buracos na superfície dos pavimentos, alinhada às condições de tráfego, podem afetar a dinâmica de condução dos veículos, e gerar pontos potenciais para a ocorrência de sinistros. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a relação entre a presença de buracos e o padrão de condução veicular. Em um trecho de aproximadamente 38 km da RN-117, foram catalogados quatro (04) buracos com características distintas (dimensões e distribuição dentro da faixa de rolamento), além de georreferenciados. Por meio de um sistema embarcado, a geolocalização da trajetória veicular e as acelarações transversais e longidudinais foram monitoradas com certa precisão a fim de compreender se a presença de buracos interfere no padrão de condução dos motoristas. Os resultados indicam que o tamanho e a posição dos buracos podem afetar o comportamento do condutor gerando zonas potencialmente perigosas. Portanto, é fundamental identificar esses buracos a fim de proporcionar maior segurança nas vias, seja realizando manutenções nesses pontos ou sinalizando o usuário dos perigos no trecho.
