Published: October 2023

This study aims to investigate the use of Fenton reagents for the efficient hydrolysis of starch, an industrial by-product obtained from the potato processing industry. A full factorial design experiment (FFD) was conducted and a statistical model was developed for simulating the hydrolysis process. The most important factors were the hydrolysis temperature and the amount of H2O2 followed by the interaction of FeSO4·7H2O and temperature. At maximum levels of FeSO4·7H2O (1.00g/L), H2O2 (0.51 g/L), and temperature (70.0 °C), a 99.5% hydrolysis yield was achieved, with a carbohydrate content of 28.65 g/L. Furthermore, analysis of hydrolysis kinetics demonstrated that an increased concentration of FeSO4·7H2O results in a decelerated rate of starch hydrolysis. Moreover, biodegradability tests were carried out to estimate the methane production potential from the produced hydrolysates. The specific methanogenic activity (SMA) was reached at 0.669 ± 0.014 g CH4-COD g−1 VSS day−1 proving the effectiveness of the hydrolysis process and highlighting the potential of industrial starch for bioenergy production. A preliminary cost analysis showed that a small investment for utilizing the starch in an existing wastewater treatment facility of a potato processing company becomes profitable before the end of the 3rd year, obtaining a net present value (NPV) 37.5% higher than that of the current utilization scenario.

Published: October 2023

This study aims to comprehensively depict a thematic evaluation within the context of carbon-neutral buildings over this century at variable time phases (2000–2008, 2009–2016, and 2017–2023). The overarching objectives of this study are delineated into three (3) contexts. Firstly, a bibliometric network encompassing influential research documents, authors, prominent journals, organisations, and countries is erected in pertinent fields. Secondly, significant terms are extracted from the scientific literature to exhibit co-occurrence patterns. Finally, an analysis of the evaluative clusters across variable phases was conducted to ascertain their intricate interrelations. The software tool VOSviewer Version 1.6.19 successfully achieves the initial objectives by visualising networks based on co-authorship, citations, co-citations, and bibliographic coupling. The ultimate goal of this research is fully realised through the application of the Science Mapping Analysis Tool (SciMAT), Version 3, which facilitated the evaluation of diverse clusters, phases, and thematic domains. The findings from the initial stages of research conducted on carbon-neutral buildings primarily revolve around energy-savings measures, environmental impacts, and the pursuit of energy-efficient design. As the research progressed into subsequent phases, the scope of inquiry broadened into specific themes, such as (1) optimisation, (2) retrofitting, (3) transitioning, and exploring (4) phase change materials (PCMs). Moreover, the areas of study continued to expand by developing diverse scenarios, algorithms, and digital twin technologies. The graphical representations of the strategic diagrams, evaluation areas, and cluster networks are a valuable resource for practitioners and policymakers, offering valuable insight and understanding of the multifaceted landscape of thematic evaluation in carbon-neutral buildings, thus facilitating further investigations and informed decision making.

Published: October 2023

The antigenicity of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) has been evaluated using virus-neutralizing titer data analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA) and has demonstrated numerous isolates to be antigenically divergent from US vaccine strains. The lack of BVDV-1b strains in currently licensed vaccines has raised concerns regarding the lack of protection against BVDV-1b field strains. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antigenic diversity of BVDV-1b strains and better understand the breadth of antigenic relatedness using BVDV-1b antisera and antisera from vaccine strains. Results from this analysis demonstrate the antigenic diversity observed among BVDV-1b isolates and genetic assignment into the BVDV-1b subgenotype is not representative of antigenic relatedness. This is demonstrated by BVDV-1b isolates (2280N, SNc, Illc, MSU, and 2337) observed to be as antigenically dissimilar as BVDV-2a isolates when using BVDV-1b antisera. Additionally, when BVDV-1a vaccine antisera was used for comparisons, a greater percentage of BVDV-1b isolates clustered with BVDV-1a vaccine strains as part of PC1, suggesting antigenic relatedness and potentially partial protection. Collectively, data from this study would suggest that while most BVDV-1b isolates are antigenically similar, there are antigenically dissimilar BVDV-1b isolates as determined by the lack of cross-reactivity, which may contribute to the lack of protection.

Published: October 2023

High-temperature geothermal systems hold promise for sustainable and environmentally friendly power generation. However, China’s geothermal power capacity significantly underutilizes its abundant resources. This study focuses on the geothermal potential of the Pamir Plateau, particularly its northeastern edge, where complex tectonic forces converge. We aim to unveil the mechanisms driving the emergence of high-temperature geothermal reservoirs in this unique geological setting. Hydrogeochemical analysis reveals diverse profiles in geothermal water, primarily derived from atmospheric precipitation. Estimation of reservoir temperatures and simulation of geotherms unveil distinct geothermal systems. Kongur exhibits a medium–low-temperature hydrothermal system and Tashkurgan demonstrates high-temperature hydrothermal system characteristics, while the Pamir’s northeastern edge hints at a potential high-temperature dry geothermal system where there might not be a fault. These findings have important implications for sustainable energy development and future geothermal exploration.

Published: October 2023

In implementing ship channels in mountainous rivers with complex topography, navigation safety has become paramount for facilitating efficient tunnel operations. The security of large vessels in tunnels has recently been the focus of a considerable amount of research in the inevitable trend of vessel upsizing. This study analyzes the characteristics of unpowered coasting distance for ten-thousand-ton bulk carriers through ship simulations. The study discovered a positive correlation between coasting length and variables including tunnel width, water depth, and sectional coefficient. Moreover, it explores the maneuvering characteristics throughout the tunnel traversal process. It proposes a vessel-following model based on car-following theory and defines different types of following distances to determine the transportation capacity of the tunnel. The research findings greatly enhance tunnel navigable safety and optimize ship tunnel operations.

Published: October 2023

The coupling mechanism between natural and anthropogenic noise in shallow marine areas is of great significance for maintaining the ecological safety of these regions. In this study, a section of Zhanjiang Bay’s entrance was selected as a typical research area, and environmental noise data at different depths were collected during the spring and autumn seasons. The spectral characteristics, sound pressure levels, and underwater noise frequency correlation matrices of environmental noise were analyzed to reveal the underwater noise characteristics of tidal channels in Zhanjiang Bay and their main influencing factors. The results show that underwater noise in this study area had a stable frequency band distribution. In the low-frequency range of 20–50 Hz, the main source of noise was the flow noise influenced by tides and topography, with a peak sound pressure level of approximately 97 dB. In the frequency range of 50 Hz to 500 Hz, the main noise sources were ships at sea, followed by wind-generated noise. At frequencies above 500 Hz, the noise intensity decreased. In addition, it was found that the sound pressure level in the low-frequency range had a significant correlation with the tidal level, increasing with the rise of the tide and decreasing during low tides. This study provides a research case on the impact that human noise activity has on environmental noise in shallow marine bays. These research findings can support the selection of sites and reduce construction noise from offshore wind farms, as well as ensure the acoustic ecological environment in the vicinity of marine ranches.

Published: October 2023

Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous protozoan parasite of public health concern, with severe health consequences among immunocompromised individuals and pregnant mothers. Pigs are intermediate hosts of this zoonotic parasite and consumption of undercooked pork is a risk factor for T. gondii infection. We investigated the seroprevalence and risk factors for T. gondii in pigs in Kenya. A cross-sectional study was conducted at a non-integrated abattoir in Kiambu, Kenya, where 446 blood samples were collected from slaughtered pigs between 5 January and 5 March 2021. For each pig sampled, additional data were collected on the county of origin, farm size, sex and live weight. Serum was harvested from each pig blood sample, and these were subjected to indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests to detect the presence of immunoglobin G (IgG) for T. gondii infection. The overall seroprevalence for T. gondii was 34.53% (95% C.I. 30.16–39.17). Risk factors for T. gondii seropositivity in pigs included farm size (p < 0.001) and the live weight of pigs (p = 0.044). The high seroprevalence of T. gondii indicates that consumers of raw and undercooked pork may be at a high risk of infection. It is therefore recommended that strategies for the mitigation of risk of exposure in populations should prioritize public health education for pig farmers, pork handlers and consumers on risk reduction measures along the pork value chains.

Authors:   Orel College of Music, Egorova A.Yu.
Published: October 2023

The article proposes the author's classification of public organizations in the sphere of culture in Russia. Despite the autonomy of the activities of public organizations, the importance of their economic ties with the state, primarily grants, and subsidies, is recognized. This model of relations implies precise consideration of the needs of public organizations and the interests of the population and the state. For these reasons, the classification takes into account precisely economic factors. The proposed classification should contribute to the development of a competent state policy in this direction.

PSYCHOLOGICAL SUBSTANTIATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE AUTHOR՚S OF THE PSYCHODIAGNOSTIC PROJECTIVE TECHNIQUE SEDNOR
Authors: Katolyk H.
Published: October 2023

The purpose of the article is to consider the process of creating the author՚s psychodiagnostic methodology SEDNOR on the basis of various integrated scientific approaches, taking into account the age characteristics of the personality and the conditions of the respondents; to analyze the results of a long-term experimental study aimed at studying and psychodiagnosing the relationship between perceptual, cognitive processes and creative potential of the personality on the examples of primary school students; to describe the algorithm of the author՚s psychodiagnostic projective methodology SEDNOR, to develop the algorithm of the author՚s psychodiagnostic methodology.

The following methods were used. From the group of theoretical foundations, the Rorschach Inkblot Test, Osgood՚s Semantic Differential (SD), the fuzzy rating scale, and the interpretation of the non-existent animal technique using SD were used. The author՚s SEDNOR methodology was used to study the creative potential of the individual (taking into account complex mental intertwining) by using the perceptual and imaginative components of the student՚s personality. Over the course of more than 30 years, a total of about 30,000 respondents of different age groups, from children aged 7 to early adulthood, have participated in the study. The study presents results only for a sample of primary school children. The empirical study was conducted on the basis of secondary schools in Lviv. Lviv. Informed consent to participate in the study was obtained from all participants.

The article presents a theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of the “basic image” and creative potential as psychological phenomena, highlights their features in terms of different interpretations. The psychological factors of the image emergence are analyzed and a hypothetical model of its emergence is built. The results of an empirical study aimed at experimentally investigating the creative potential of junior schoolchildren using the author՚s SEDNOR methodology are analyzed. The mechanism of influence of the studied types of unstructured images on the level of creative potential of an individual is substantiated.

As a result of the study, a high level of reliability of the proposed projective psychodiagnostic methodology SEDNOR as an opportunity for modern diagnostics of personality creativity has been determined. It is noted that a comparative analysis of the results of the psychodiagnostic projective methodology SEDNOR and the indicators of control methods for the study of the creative potential of the individual was carried out, which indicates the possibility of using this methodology in Ukraine and the possibility of its adaptation in other countries. Special general recommendations for the use of the SEDNOR psychodiagnostic methodology and conclusions based on the results of diagnostics have been developed.
Negotiating new roles in general practice: a qualitative study of clinical pharmacists
Authors: Bradley Fay , Nelson Pauline A , Cutts Chris , Hodgson Damian
Published: October 2023

Background

To address general practice workforce shortages, policy in England has supported the recruitment of ‘non-medical’ roles through reimbursement funding. As one of the first to receive funding, the clinical pharmacist role offers insight into the process of new role negotiation at general practice level.

Aim

To identify factors influencing clinical pharmacist role negotiation at practice level, comparing the process under two different funding and employment models.

Design and setting

Qualitative interview study with staff involved in the following schemes: 1) the national NHS England (NHSE) Clinical Pharmacists in General Practice scheme; and 2) a local clinical commissioning group-funded scheme, providing clinical pharmacist support to general practices in one area of Greater Manchester in the UK.

Method

Semi-structured interviews with purposive and snowball sampling of pharmacists, GPs, and practice staff took place. The interviews were analysed using template analysis.

Results

In total, 41 interviews were conducted. The following four factors were found to influence role negotiation: role ambiguity; competing demands and priorities; potential for (in)appropriate utilisation of clinical skills; and level of general practice control over the role. Key differences between the two funding and employment models were the level of influence GPs had in shaping the role and how adaptable pharmacists could be to practice needs. The potential for inappropriate utilisation was reported under both schemes, but most apparent under the role reimbursement, direct employment model of the NHSE scheme.

Conclusion

This study has highlighted lessons applicable for the introduction of non-medical roles more widely in general practice. It has provided insight into the factors that can influence role negotiation at practice level and how different funding and/or employment models can impact on this process.
Does shortage of GPs matter? A cross-sectional study of practice population life expectancy
Authors: Baker Richard , Levene Louis S , Newby Christopher , Freeman George K
Published: October 2023

Background

There are not enough GPs in England. Access to general practice and continuity of care are declining.

Aim

To investigate whether practice characteristics are associated with life expectancy of practice populations.

Design and setting

A cross-sectional ecological study of patient life expectancy from 2015–2019.

Method

Selection of independent variables was based on conceptual frameworks describing general practice’s influence on outcomes. Sixteen non-correlated variables were entered into multivariable weighted regression models: population characteristics (Index of Multiple Deprivation, region, % White ethnicity, and % on diabetes register); practice organisation (total NHS payments to practices expressed as payment per registered patient, full-time equivalent fully qualified GPs, GP registrars, advanced nurse practitioners, other nurses, and receptionists per 1000 patients); access (% seen on the same day); clinical performance (% aged ≥45 years with blood pressure checked, % with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease vaccinated against flu, % with diabetes in glycaemic control, and % with coronary heart disease on antiplatelet therapy); and the therapeutic relationship (% continuity).

Results

Deprivation was strongly negatively associated with life expectancy. Regions outside London and White ethnicity were associated with lower life expectancy. Higher payment per patient, full-time equivalent fully qualified GPs per 1000 patients, continuity, % with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease having the flu vaccination, and % with diabetes with glycaemic control were associated with higher life expectancy; the % being seen on the same day was associated with higher life expectancy in males only. The variable aged ≥45 years with blood pressure checked was a negative predictor in females.

Conclusion

The number of GPs, continuity of care, and access in England are declining, and it is worrying that these features of general practice were positively associated with life expectancy.
La forteresse du «Puy de Menoire», commune de Menet (Cantal), Xe-XIIe siècles

Published: October 2023

Die Festung aufdem Puy de Menoire. Gemeinde Menet (Cantal) X.-XII. Jahrhundert. Die Bergkuppe des Puy de Menoire wurde zu Verteidigungszwecken ausgebaut : künstliche Mikrovertiefungen, namentlich ein langer, kreisbogenförmiger Einschnitt, der in den oberen Teil des Hanges gehauen worden war, waren vor der Grabung recht gut sichtbar. Bei diesem Einschnitt handelt es sich um einen tiefen, in den Fels gehauenen Graben. Im Westen war der Graben doppelt so gross und durch Mauerwerk und Erdaufschüttungen verstärkt. Im Süden bildete eine weitere Anlage aus Mauerwerk und einer Erdaufschüttung einen grossen Kreisbogen. Die im Verhälnis zueinander gestaffelten Systeme begrenzien einen Weg, der einem Zugang entsprach. Es scheint, dass diese nach einem kohärenten Plan angelegten Wehranlangen nicht fertiggestellt wurden : offensichtlich wurde die Anlage kurz nach dem Ausbau aufgegeben. Eine Thermolumineszenzanalyse und das nicht sehr reichhaltige Fundmaterial (Keramik und Nägel) lassen den Bau der Festung in die Epoche der aquitanischen Wirren ansetzen, deren Schauplatz die Auvergne zwischen dem IX. und XII. Jahrundert bildete.

Published: October 2023

An Early Medieval settlement and burials on the Croix-Rousse slopes at Lyon. A new settlement centre discovered at n° 41-43 rue des Chartreux, high on the Croix-Rousse slopes, has provided new data relating to the urban topography of Lyon during the Early Middle Ages. This occupation is sandwiched between two consequential colluvial phases. The establishment located, a building erected on stone footings, consists of two quadrangular rooms placed side by side, with no other partitions. The occupation continues further to the south. The domestic nature of the site is evoked by the presence of permanent hearths and an oven, refuse pits near the dwelling, and culinary pottery wares. A funerary group, consisting of six burials, is situated about 5 m north of the settlement and seems to be delimited on the eastern side by a wall extending from the building. An abundant sedimentary deposit, perhaps concurrent with climatic interference, may have been the cause of the site's abandonment. The artefacts found widen the scope of research on food and goods consumed during the Merovingian period at Lyon. The radiocarbon dating of three samples has enabled us to narrow the chronology of the settlement and burials down to the mid 7th century.

Awareness about Climate Change among Students: A Sustainable Future
Authors: Esakkimuthu K , Banupriya S
Published: October 2023

Climate change is a pressing global challenge that demands immediate attention and collective action. This study aims to assess the level of awareness about climate change among students and explore the potential implications for building a sustainable future. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather data from a diverse sample of students across various educational institutions. The quantitative phase involves distributing structured surveys to assess the baseline knowledge of students regarding climate change, its causes, consequences, and potential mitigation strategies. Additionally, the survey explores students’ attitudes towards sustainable practices and their perceptions of the role of individuals, governments, and corporations in addressing climate change.The qualitative phase consists of in-depth interviews with a subset of survey participants to delve deeper into their understanding of climate change concepts, sources of information, and factors influencing their attitudes and behaviours. These interviews provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of existing educational efforts and identify potential barriers to fostering sustainable behaviours among students.Preliminary findings reveal a range of awareness levels among students, with some displaying a comprehensive understanding of climate change while others exhibit misconceptions or limited knowledge.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones have found applications in various fields including military operations, construction, parcel delivery, mapping, medical, search and rescue missions, exploration of hidden areas, monitoring power lines and oil rigs, precision farming, aerial surveillance, and wireless communication. Due to their modular flexibility and programmability, drone technologies have become a strategic industrial/commercial sector that has gained significant attention as it redefines and combines different emerging domains, such as: service and delivery convergence, lean manufacturing, environmental monitoring and security. The use of swarms of interconnected UAV systems has gained popularity in providing innovative approaches to tasks requiring wide-area multiple collaborative sensors. However, despite advances in maneuverability, user interface, and cost-effectiveness, drones still face limitations in flight autonomy due to restricted flight time for continuous missions. Battery endurance, drone weight, and payload are critical development vectors. This review highlights the importance of drones, their future development priorities and functionality. Specifically, it focuses on UAV classification, swarms, and charging. Moreover, it explores UAV applications, challenges, and security issues based on recent research and development. Additionally, the study delves into anti-drone technology that can assist countries in controlling and ensuring the safe utilization of drones.

PROSES DEMINERALISASI PADA UNIT PENGOLAHAN AIR DI PABRIK UTILITY 1-A PT. PUPUK KUJANG CIKAMPEK
Authors: Fathurahman Kamal Danish
Published: October 2023

Resin penukar ion pada sistem demineralisasi merupakan media yang digunakan dalam proses pengolahan air baku untuk menghasilkan air bebas mineral yang digunakan untuk proses produksi. Kemampuan resin penukar ion dalam mengambil ion pengotor dalam air baku memiliki keterbatasan,sehingga setelah beberapa waktu tertentu resin penukar ion tidak mampu lagi mengambil ion pengotor dalam air baku sehingga perlu dilakukan regenerasi. Demineralisasi merupakan sebuah proses penghilangan mineral, setidaknya menurunkan kandungan unsur Calsium (Ca) dan Magnesium (Mg) dalam air. Karakter utama dari resin adalah cepat terjadi kejenuhan dalam hitungan hari atau minggu tergantung dari tingkat kesadahan air bakunya. Jika resin tersebut sudah jenuh maka perlu dilakukan regenerasi. Dalam pelaksanaan proses selama ini belum adanya evaluasi kinerja dari proses ini, apakah setiap proses alat masih dapat menghasilkan air cukup seperti yang tertera pada data total flow. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan service time dari cation dan anion exchanger selama proses demineralisasi air. Air demineralisasi adalah air yang bebas dari mineral terlarut dan juga digunakan di laboratorium dan bahan baku untuk uap. Kandungan mineral dalam air dapat menyebabkan kerak pada peralatan industri seperti boiler dan heat exchanger,menurunkan nilai yield dan selektivitas dalam proses reaksi. Kombinasi filtrasi dan penukar ion proses dipelajari untuk mengobati demineralisasi

O3 (PZT) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 300 K ≤ T ≤ 873 K, the composition and temperature ranges covering the classic phase diagram of this important piezoelectric system. The glasslike dκ/dT > 0 behavior is observed for the ferroelectric rhombohedral phases and much of the paraelectric cubic phase, implying the presence of strong phonon damping in these regions of PZT. For all the temperatures studied in this work, the κ becomes lowest at x = 0.5.
