Published: July 2022

En la actualidad la investigación científica es una de las fuentes principales para el desarrollo de ideas que pueden transformarse en verdaderas soluciones a los problemas de la sociedad. Esto se ha incrementado, aún más, gracias a los emprendimientos dedicados al desarrollo de investigaciones, donde se germinan ideas y se establecen negocios a través de la generación de conocimientos. Uno de este emprendimiento es el desarrollo de revistas científicas. Por lo cual, el objetivo general de esta investigación es analizar la factibilidad de la creación de una revista científica como incentivo para el desarrollo de la investigación. La metodología se basó en un desarrollo bibliográfico con un tipo de investigación documental. Los resultados se basaron en el análisis de las características del emprendimiento y los factores para la creación de una revista científica. Como conclusión se obtuvo que el emprendimiento es un factor clave para el desarrollo porque en él reside el espíritu de superación de las organizaciones frente a las múltiples variables que suceden dentro de las sociedades; por esta razón, es factible la creación de una revista científica por dos aspectos principales: uno, porque cumple con la exposición de la investigación científica con el fin de proponer ideas y soluciones a las diversas situaciones que aquejan a las organizaciones y/o comunidades, y dos, que tiende a ser rentable para el desarrollo económico, producto de un plan de negocios en el cual permitirá que la organización puede ser sostenible, sustentable, eficiente, transparente e innovador.

Published: July 2022

Esta clase de comportamiento a grado de consumidor se expone en la presente averiguación, la cual además evalúa los procesos y fases de la producción y su habituación de los precios asociados a esa producción. Es fundamental nombrar que en temas de conductas del consumidor son diversos componentes que inciden en la conducta, y a grado de producción, los costes de las materias primas, los procesos de ejecución del producto, así como la venta de estos productos tienen la posibilidad de verse modificadas por las situaciones económicas de una zona. Después, para la producción, se puede ver que las 3 fases son de esencial trascendencia a partir de la concepción de un producto, la compra de la materia prima, el proceso de transformación de esa materia prima en el producto anhelado, hasta la venta influyen la adecuada organización del proceso benéfico.
Teoría de la conducta del consumidor, la producción y los costos
Authors:   Universidad de Guayaquil, Guayaquil, Ecuador., ORELLANA INTRIAGO FERNANDO RODOLFO
Published: July 2022

El trabajo es un elemento benéfico con una estrecha interacción en los niveles de producción y dichos al mismo tiempo influyen de manera directa en el comportamiento del consumidor, por lo cual se tienen que considerar las variaciones de los restantes recursos que intervienen en el proceso beneficioso y adquisitivo y esto origina simultáneamente fluctuaciones cíclicas de suma trascendencia en el proceso de producción. La intencionalidad de estas apreciaciones y basamentos teóricos, radica en el establecimiento de criterios básicos de conocimiento de la reacción de compra del consumidor y las actitudes de producción de esos que son proveedores de bienes o servicios, se debería reconocer que la producción debería ser de rendimiento constante, no obstante con criterios cambiantes que permitan evaluar y adaptar las tácticas para que los productos que se generen no provoquen pérdidas sino todo lo opuesto, una productividad; la conducta del consumidor es roca angular para este panorama, pues su elección de compra va a desplazar los hilos del proceso benéfico y por ende del desempeño correcto de los recursos, más que nada financieros.

Evaluation of the Cyber Security Risk Models (CSRM) in Cloud Computing
Authors: Anisi Hossein
Published: July 2022

Many devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem may be susceptible to cyberattacks due to their diverse nature and lack of standardization. Resource-constrained IoT devices include sensor nodes, smart gadgets, and wearable devices. An organization's RAP (Risk Assessment Process) integrates the evaluation of hazards that are linked to all its resources, as well as the evaluation and prioritization of these risks. It is crucial to begin the risk management process with an accurate and thorough risk assessment. The Cyber Security Risk Models (CSRMs) in Cloud Computing are examined in this research. To understand the uniqueness of IoT systems and why present risk assessment methodologies for IoT are ineffective, it is necessary to understand the current state of risk assessment for IoT. There are constraints to periodic evaluations IoT due to device interoperability. Continuous testing of IoT solutions is thus essential.
Os recursos expressivos nas redes sociais e o conservadorismo brasileiro: a forma das publicações e vídeos de celebridades e políticos a partir de 2016
Authors: Garzillo Cavalcanti Juliana
Published: July 2022

O presente artigo parte da observação de publicações de celebridades do mundo da política e do entretenimento entre 2016 e a campanha presidencial de 2018 no Brasil. O objetivo é identificar e analisar os recursos expressivos que afloram no período de disputa política e seus desdobramentos. O aumento da produção e compartilhamento de vídeos em redes sociais de personalidades conservadoras é lido em relação à estética midiativista nascida na internet. Contando com o pensamento de Bolter e Grusin (2000) sobre as mídias, Eugênio Bucci (2021) sobre política das imagens e de Ivana Bentes (2015) sobre o cenário brasileiro de ativismo na rede, o texto traz à tona possíveis leituras sobre a forma das publicações e da ascensão conservadora nas redes sociais que culmina no fortalecimento do ultraconservadorismo no Brasil.
O humor audiovisual brasileiro sob o olhar da crítica: mobilizações discursivas da liberdade de expressão na circulação de A primeira tentação de Cristo
Authors: Scabin Nara Lya Cabral
Published: July 2022

Sabendo que o humor constitui campo de potencialização de disputas discursivas transversais à sociedade, o presente artigo investiga a mobilização de sentidos de liberdade de expressão na recepção crítica do humor audiovisual brasileiro em um contexto marcado pela ascensão do conservadorismo no país e constantes tentativas de cerceamento de discursos midiáticos contrários aos valores de grupos hegemônicos. Elegendo, como foco de atenção, o caso de A Primeira Tentação de Cristo (2019), especial de Natal realizado pela produtora Porta dos Fundos em parceria com a Netflix, o trabalho discute, como hipótese principal, a ideia de que, na circulação de produções audiovisuais humorísticas, sentidos de liberdade de expressão podem ser mobilizados como elementos-chave de julgamento e avaliação crítica das obras.
A melancolia em formas audiovisuais brasileiras no YouTube: experiências mediadas por experiências, tempestades de imagens e o elogio da ruína
Authors: Vieira William David
Published: July 2022

Deparando-nos com um elevado uso de imagens da tevê aberta brasileira no YouTube, como se este desenvolvesse uma função memorial, esboçamos aqui uma abordagem sobre formas audiovisuais nacionais no site. Por esse apelo “de acervo” e reúso, desenha-se um percurso: trazem-se experiências mediadas por experiências a partir de tempestades de imagens que se lançam na tela e sinaliza-se contemplar elogiosamente a ruína de um tempo passado. Vemos epistemologicamente nisso (experiências, imagens e ruína) três pontos de atravessamento entre modulações de vídeos concebidas por contas brasileiras e, para tanto, traçamos uma investigação inicial sobre como essa trinca se manifesta e como isso fomenta uma verve melancólica de consumo por entre tais formas audiovisuais.

This article describes six ocean datasets consistent in anomalies of biogeochemical, physical, sea wave, biological, oceanic and chemical parameters (DACS-BGC, DACS-PHY, DACS-WAVE, DACS-BIO, DACS-OCE and DACS-CHEM) in several time scales from 3-hourly to monthly frequencies, either on the sea surface, downward/upward fluxes between the ocean and the atmosphere and the water  column in the Caribbean basin (Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean) in a geographical domain from latitudes 8 degrees to 35 degrees North and from longitudes 45 degrees to 100 degrees West, obtained, from several satellites, modeling services and observational programs. The datasets were created in NetCDF format conserving their original horizontal resolutions of 1.0, 0.5, 0.26, 0.08333 and 0.04 degrees in gridded structure; only the WAVEWATCH3 dataset has a non-uniform step in latitude and longitude. This internal data structure facilitates its handling due to a wide diversity of existent freeware tools, and it is mainly intended to support researchers to understand the evolution and cycles of physical, biogeochemical, chemical, sea wave, oceanic and biological parameters linked to global climate change.
MENELISIK KONSEP, TERMINOLOGI, LANDASAN BIBLIS DAN TEOLOGIS INKULTURASI SEBAGAI PROSES INKARNASI INJIL DALAM BUDAYA-BUDAYA GEREJA LOKAL [Sebuah Telaah Kritis Menurut Perspektif Teologi Liturgi]
Authors: Sengga Fransiskus Yance
Published: July 2022

Artikel ini secara khusus bertujuan untuk menelisik beberapa istilah yang berkaitan dengan inkulturasi. Hal ini penting terutama untuk memahami fenomena-fenomena yang lahir dan berkembang di tanah misi [Gereja lokal] dalam kaitan dengan karya evangelisasi dalam kesatuan dengan Gereja universal. Dengan cara ini, kiranya hasil telaahan terhadap konsep dan terminologi yang ada, pada gilirannya dapat menemukan term yang lebih tepat untuk mendefinisikan proses inkarnasi Injil dalam budaya. Selain itu, kiranya upaya cermat ini dapat membantu untuk menemukan alasan-alasan akan kebutuhan inkarnasi Injil dalam budaya dan bagaimana semangat kristiani itu diperkenalkan ke dalam budaya lokal.            Selanjutnya, telaah kritis ini akan dilanjutkan dengan menemukan pijakan-pijakan biblis dan teologis yang secara ilmiah dapat dijadikan sebagai landasan bagi proses inkulturasi. Untuk sumber-sumber biblis, akan diangkat dua teks dari Perjanjian Lama yakni Kej. 12:1-3 dan Yes. 66: 18-21 dan dua teks dari Perjanjian Baru antara lain Mat. 28: 18-20 dan Kis. 10:34-36. Lebih jauh, mengenai sumber-sumber teologis, mencakup diskursus mengenai Inkarnasi sebagai titik tolak inkulturasi yang berpuncak pada misteri Paskah Kristus. Landasan teologis ini juga dicerahi dengan prinsip paradigmatik dari inkulturasi yang berpijak pada kehadiran dan karya Roh Kudus sebagai prinsip discernment dari inkulturasi. Kiranya kajian sederhana ini dapat menjadi acuan bagi siapa pun yang sudah, sedang, dan akan terus berjuang untuk semakin membuat Injil berakar, hidup, dan memberi daya ilahi dalam dan pada budaya-budaya lokal sehingga segala bentuk tata peribadatan dan perayaan liturgis semakin mendapat tanggapan dan partisipasi umat yang lebih aktif, sadar, dan total. Umat merayakan misteri iman [ lex orandi] yang ia pahami, ia yakini [lex credendi], dan karena itu menggerakkannya untuk menghidupi nilai-nilai iman itu dalam kesehariannya [lex vivendi]. Akhirnya, guna mendukung kajian ilmiah di atas, penulis melakukan studi kepustakaan dengan menggunakan sumber-sumber primer. Sumber-sumber asli ini kemudian dipelajari, dianalisis, dan ditelaah menurut perspektif teologi liturgi.
#MeToo: The Perfect Storm Needed to Change Attitudes Toward Sexual Harassment and Violence
Authors: Bethel Claire
Published: July 2022

The #MeToo and #TimesUp campaigns have led to calls for a radical change in attitudes to harassment, sexual violence, and abuse. These campaigns have not been uncontroversial—claims that we risk applying today’s standards to yesterday’s behavior have evoked huge antipathy. That sexual harassment is engrained in our social ethos is exposed in surveys of school-aged children, with over one third of girls in mixed-sex schools personally experiencing sexual harassment at school.1 Emerging technologies have enabled new forms of harassment, such as increasingly common and damaging online abuse2 and ‘up-skirting’ – with calls for the latter to be made a criminal offence.3 Sexual violence and abuse are wide-ranging – from sexual abuse and exploitation to rape and modern-day slavery for sexual purposes. Despite the impact on all, sexual violence remains a gendered crime, with more girls and women affected, reflecting misogynistic and patriarchal attitudes inherited from ages past. Recent outcry over the proposal by the Parole Board to release from prison a serial ‘black cab’ rapist led to a judicial review, which overturned the decision,4 raising the complex question of what can be done to protect the public from proven perpetrators who may re-offend.
Urban Climate-Health Strategies: New Opportunities to Promote Health Equity
Authors: Kumar Nishi
Published: July 2022

Across North America, cities are bracing for the health impacts of a changing climate, including more intense heat, severe storms, and frequent flooding events.1,2,3,4 Public health, urban planning, and emergency preparedness departments are developing new strategies, programs, and policies to respond to the health impacts of a changing climate. It’s increasingly clear that socially and economically marginalized groups will be particularly vulnerable to these hazards.5,6,7 Policy responses to climate change often acknowledge these differences between groups, and some cities have articulated health equity as a guiding principle of their actions.8,9 However it’s not always clear what this commitment to health equity really means, and how the concept may be operationalized with respect to climate-health strategies.
Preventing Radicalization to Violence Through Partnerships and Collaboration
Authors: Ellis Heidi
Published: July 2022

In the space of a single week in August of 2017, vehicles plowed into groups of pedestrians in two different parts of the world, purportedly in support of two different ideologies. In Barcelona, Spain, a group of young men (including an adolescent) of Moroccan background who grew up in Spain carried out the attacks in the name of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). In Charlottesville, VA, a 20-year-old man associated with a white supremacist group committed the attack against a group marching in opposition to the “Unite the Right” rally. In both cases, individuals used violence against civilians in an attempt to further their political and social views. Such cases of radicalization to violence have plagued the news in recent years, and forced practitioners and policymakers to take up the following question: How can we prevent radicalization to violence?
The Syrian Mental Health Crisis:
Present Findings and Future Directions
Authors: Hassan Ahmad
Published: July 2022

The Syrian refugee crisis has displaced more than 6 million Syrian citizens and has adversely impacted the mental health of millions of people. In the seven years since the Syrian crisis began, a generation has come of age in a war zone. Some call them the lost generation of Syrians. Nonetheless, in a crisis zone, the need for triage is constant. Thus, most organizations and institutions responding to the Syrian crisis reasonably prioritize the provision of lifesaving water, food, clothing, and urgent medical care over mental health care. This review evaluates the prevalence of psychopathology among Syrian refugees, with a focus on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mood disorders. On behalf of the victims of the Syrian crisis, this study calls upon all aid organizations and institutions to help in any way they can. In the near term, Telepsychiatry appears a viable option to provide mental healthcare to refugees.

Published: July 2022

Digitalisation lays the groundwork for the emergence of novel business models taking advantage of modern technologies. Simultaneously, the new business models face an array of legitimacy challenges. This paper proposes an integrated framework for studying legitimacy challenges through the lens of managerial choices and consequences of the business model at the ecosystemic level. It combines and elaborates on essential legitimacy aspects connected to digitalisation, reflecting on stakeholders at the business, individual and ecosystemic level. The value of the paper is based on providing a comprehensive and ecosystemic view of studying the legitimacy challenges connected to the platform, data, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The Creation Of Ecosystems as a Mean for Business Model Adaptation
Authors: Chelbi Olfa , Rayna Thierry , Souchaud Antoine
Published: July 2022

The business model concept and the concept of coopetition have been the focus of substantial attention for the past twenty years. However, current research is still short on explaining how both concepts relate to each other. This paper provides a first integration of the two concepts by trying to operationalize the process of business model adaptation in the context of coopetitive settings involving small and young firms. The paper uncovers four roles played by FinTech startups in the ecosystem created by the incumbent bank: the role of a supplier, client, complementor, and coopetitor. In the case of Fintech startups positioned as suppliers, clients and complementors we show an impact on the two dimensions of value creation and value captures. With respect to FinTech companiespositioned as coopetitors, early findings show the impact of such settings on the value delivery dimension.
INCUMBENT BUSINESS MODEL INNOVATION UNDER MISPERCEIVED HYPERCOMPETITION
Authors: Sund Kristian J. , Lindskov Annesofie
Published: July 2022

Hypercompetition theory states that incumbent firms must restructure their organizations, resources, and product portfolios, as competitive advantages cannot be sustained over time. Yet, hypercompetition is rarer than many scholars and practitioners suggest. In this paper, we suggest that if managers misperceive the true state of competition in their industry, they run two potential risks. The first is to underestimate the competitive dynamics and to therefore focus too much on incremental changes to their existing business model. The second is to overestimate the dynamics and to waste resources on unnecessary radical business model innovation. In this chapter we discuss these risks in light of recent research on both hypercompetition and on incumbent business model innovation.
Building Resilient and Innovative Business Models in the Era of Covid-19:
Authors: Montemari Marco , Gatti Marco
Published: July 2022

The role that the Business Model (BM) concept and BM-related tools may play during times of crisis have been insufficiently investigated. This paper presents a process aimed at supporting companies in building resilient and original BMs through continuous innovation based on the existing BM literature. The present study highlights the role that BM tools may play during crisis situations, providing managers and entrepreneurs with an alert system (i.e., BM measurements) capable of signaling when a change should be implemented; a “library” of potential changes (i.e., BM pivots) to be generated in the BM; and a portfolio of potential available options when considering how the BM should be changed (i.e., BM configurations). The paper additionally highlights how tools for BM mapping, control, and innovation can provide one another with information and can be connected in a way that allows companies to achieve a synergetic effect in the face of instability and uncertainty.

This paper aimed to synthesize the key challenges and barriers in implementing gamification at the tertiary level. Using PRISMA 2020, a systematic review was conducted with searches in databases such as ProQuest, ResearchGate, Scopus, and a manual search in Google Scholar from June to July 2021. The selected studies were analyzed following Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six-phase thematic analysis framework. The result revealed four themes such as 1) not all students are fully-engaged; 2) tasks were not completed; 3) performance was compromised, and 4) problems in attitude arose. These themes underscored the key challenges and barriers in gamification. This review concluded that no matter how the design and implementation are well planned, obstacles and drawbacks will be present. This systematic review reinforces the idea that knowing the challenges and barriers will help implementors of gamification to strategize in overcoming these obstacles that may come in their way. Keywords: barriers in gamification, challenges in gamification, tertiary level

Ecotourism: A Sustainable Development Connect to Nature and A Strategy for Balancing Economic Growth, Socio-Cultural Development and Conservation
Authors:   ICFAI University, Sikkim, India, Thomas Binu
Published: July 2022

Ecotourism is an important niche market in the world tourism industry. It is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to mass tourism. The data were collected using documentation and library techniques, field methods, questionnaires, note-taking, observation, and conducting interviews with people, tourists, and authorities in charge of ecotourism development. The study examines the economic impact of ecotourism in the villages of Sikkim, which are full of rich and pristine biodiversity and other natural resources. Ecotourism provides the tourist with a quality nature experience, generates funds and support for conservation efforts, has a minimal environmental impact, and provides socioeconomic benefits to local host communities. Tourism can contribute significantly to rural development, agricultural transformation, community enrichment and social empowerment. . The main thrust of this study is to examine the impact of ecotourism as sustainable development focused on the potential of the tourist as an agent of sustainable development possibility framed in terms of a tourist “connecting to nature”. With an objective to identify and quantify the impacts of ecotourism on environmental conservation, cultural heritage preservation, economic development, and enhancement of livelihoods, this study was carried out to focus on the way tourists can live harmoniously with the planet and has been identified as an important strategy for balancing economic growth and conservation. The study is intended to enhance the capacity of ecotourism to generate benefits for both the local communities and destinations (mainly the protected areas), and thus contribute to the sustainable development of the region more generally. The primary problem of the study was to examine the relationships among acculturation, ecotourism, and cultural impacts to understand the ecotourism acculturation mechanism that shapes ecotourism cultural impacts.

Models of resilience of the family of children with disabilities
Authors:   Free International University of Moldova, Haraz Svetlana
Published: July 2022

Annotation: This article is an analysis of models of family resilience, models developed from various perspectives and factors (biological, social, psychological, relational, etc.), over several years and scientific research. Developing resilience in families caring for children with disabilities is a topic that has been addressed primarily in terms of medical approach, family stress, stressors, and less in terms of the need to increase the family's ability to cope and to adapt to the child's disability. The presence of a child with disabilities in families is a continuous stressor, a factor that requires the family to find strategies for adaptation, to find the balance between change and stability through adaptability.An analysis of the existing resilience models of the family in which children with disabilities are cared for is also important in the context of understanding resilience as a psychosocial construct for promoting resilience development models and programs

This study aimed to investigate acute effects of table tennis (physical+cognitive exercise), aerobic running (physical exercise), and chess (cognitive exercise) exercise sessions of veteran male athletes in their branches on the serum homocysteine (Hcy), insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and cortisol (Cor) levels. Thirty veteran athletes [10 table tennis players (TT), 10 long-distance runners (LR), 10 chess players (CP)] and 10 sedentary controls (SC) between 50 and 65 years of age participated in the study. Blood samples were obtained before and immediately after exercise to determine serum Hcy, IGF-1, and Cor levels. According to their branch, each veteran athlete performed exercise sessions (70-75% of the participants' heart rate reserve) of 10-min of warm-up followed by 40-min of table tennis, aerobic running, or chess. TT and LR groups demonstrated significant increases in the serum IGF-1, Cor, and Hcy levels from pre to post-exercise (p<0.05). In contrast, the CP group showed significant increases only in the serum Hcy levels (p<0.05). Serum IGF-1 and Hcy, in response to exercise, were not significantly different between exercise groups (p>0.05). LR group had a greater serum Cor increase than all exercise groups (p<0.05). The TT group showed significantly greater changes in serum Cor levels than the CP group (p<0.05). In conclusion, although a single bout of aerobic running and table tennis exercise induces a remarkable increase in all measured biomarkers, chess exercise only elicits an increase in Hcy levels. Although aerobic running is more effective in increasing Cor levels than other types of exercise, the current study's findings suggest that serum Hcy and IGF-1 levels in veteran male athletes are not affected by the type of exercise.

Published: July 2022

Apricots are one of the most important fruits that can be produced worldwide. Most of the importer countries are sensitive about sulfur which is used in the protection of dried apricots. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of feeding with high and low sulfur content apricots on oxidative stress parameters of the liver. In total, 42 Wistar albino rats were fed for 12 weeks with the use of dried apricots containing different amounts of sulfur and sun-dried apricots. There was no significant difference in IL-1β, 8-OHdG and TOS levels between the control group and the group fed with sun dried apricots. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups fed with low and high sulfur-containing apricots.Non-necrotic changes were observed in 3000 ppm and 4000ppm groups in microscopic examination. No significant effect of feeding with sulfur treated apricots was found in the liver tissues of rats.

Authors: Alatas Omer , Gokcek Kemal
Published: July 2022

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism is defined as venous thromboembolism (VTE). Deep vein thrombosis is the most common in lower extremity veins, it is seen in the upper extremity veins, more rarely. In this study we aimed to research the values of NLR, PLR, PCT and PDW in DVT and pulmonary thromboembolism (PET). Our study is the only study in which these parameters are examined together. Patients' gender, age, pulmonary embolism history, medications used, hospitalization history and hemogram values are recorded. Extremity involvement findings, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), plateletcrit (PCT) and platelet distribution width (PDW) is recorded. The mean age of patients was 60±19.83. Eigtheen (10.2%) of the patients had a history of recurrent deep vein thrombosis. 30 (16.9%) of the patients with deep vein thrombosis have pulmonary thromboembolism. While 94 (53.1%) patients with deep vein thrombosis had left lower extremity involvement, 39 (22%) had right lower extremity involvement. 52 (29.4%) patients were hospitalized, and 81(60,9%) patients were followed up outpatient. 44 (33.1%) patients had warfarin treatment, and 89 (%66.9) patients had DMAH treatment. NLR, PLR, PDW, PCT were 5.84 (min0.35- max 0.10), 181.26±144.14, 12.31±2.82, 0.25 (min0.00-max0.50) respectively in DVT, 7.32 (min 0.35-max34.5), 184.97±130.06, 11.93±1.95, 0.22 (min0.08-max0.39) respectively in PTE. In the light of the data obtained, we believe that hemogram parameters are appropriate markers for the prediction of DVT and PTE patients and/or inflammatory response during DVT and PTE. However, there is a need for more comprehensive studies on the course of the disease and the value of these markers.

Published: July 2022

Background: Pain is a common stimulus that induces anxiety in both Animals and human beings.

Aim and Objective: We have undertaken this study to evaluate the induction of anxiety in Wistar rats using hot plate method.

Materials and Methods: 24 Wistar rats of either gender were used. Elevated plus maze (EPM) and light and dark arena (LDA) were used to evaluate the anxiety and hot plate analgesiometer was used to induce anxiety. After baseline reading from EPM and LDA, the Wistar rats were exposed to the hot plate and then evaluated for the induction of the anxiety behavior.

Results: After exposing to the hot plate, the ratio of time spent in the open arms to the time spent on the closed arms was decreased from 0.027 to 0.010 and also the ratio of time spent on the light chamber to the time spent on the dark chamber was decreased from 0.093 to 0.012. Hot plate method has shown statistical significant induction of anxiety as evaluated by EPM and also LDA.

Conclusion: Hot plate method is a good intervention to induce anxiety in Wistar rats. Instead of injecting drugs that causes anxiety to explore the anxiolytic effects of the drugs the hot plate analgesiometer method is a good alternative.

Ann Pancake’s novel Strange as This Weather Has Been is a fictional catastrophic disasters novel invoked upon the landscape and its inhabitants by mountaintop removal mining. The author blends elements of her own upbringing in Appalachia to tell the tale of a present-day coal mining family. “Toxic discourse” is a form of environmental literature, which aims to achieve ecological warning by telling the harm of man-made chemical poisons to people and society. In Strange as This Weather Has Been The author describes poisons throughout the whole text. The gradual spread of poisons in geographical space makes the protagonist realize the seriousness of environmental pollution, The severe crisis of surviving environment and the protagonist’s sense of “indigeneity” finally make her realize the awakening of ecological consciousness and take part in the way of environmental protection.
Effects of Six Neural Machine Translators of the Two Business Major Text Types
Authors: Yu Sheng
Published: July 2022

This study investigates the effects of six major neural machine translators (NMTs) rendering four texts—E-C and C-E directions for the informative and the vocative. By comparing the errors and inadequacies, I found that western-produced NMTs are better at translating E-C and C-E informative texts, though they cannot render culture-loaded words. Baidu, Youdao, and WeChat are similarly good, yet sometimes with confusing blunders. Overall, QQ is the least satisfactory one. For highly vocative E-C texts, all the machine translators are fiascoes since they can only translate the surface meaning, sometimes even confusingly. For C-E vocative texts, DeepL and Google can produce acceptable sentences but retain every piece of information; Chinese-produced NMTs are better at dealing with culture-loaded words. This paper may provide some translation tips for Chinese researchers, the latest trends in NMT for teachers and researchers of the English language, and some insights for technical personnel.
A Comparative Study of Stance Adverbs Used in the Introduction Section of Chinese and English Native Scholars’ Journal Articles
Authors: Xiao Gengsheng , Jiang Huimin
Published: July 2022

The research aims to examine stance adverbs in the introduction section of Chinese and English native scholars’ journal articles. The corpus-based analysis reveals that Chinese and English native scholars use epistemic stance adverbs most frequently, attitudinal stance adverbs next, and style-of-speaking adverbs last, and that Chinese scholars use lower frequency and variety of stance adverbs than their native counterparts. It is also found that the frequency of the collocates mainly used by Chinese scholars is dramatically higher than that of English native scholars. It also indicates that Chinese scholars can reasonably use attitudinal stance adverbs frequently used by English native scholars, but their awareness of using attitudinal adverbs still needs to be improved. English native scholars are more inclined to put stance adverbs in the sentence-medial. Furthermore, both Chinese and English native scholars tend to use epistemic and style-of-speaking stance adverbs in the sentence-medial position, and they are more likely to place attitudinal stance adverbs in the sentence-initial and medial position.

Authors: Lu Xuqing
Published: July 2022

In recent years, with the continuous growth of China's long-distance oil and gas pipeline network, wireless communication network applications have become more and more extensive with the continuous promotion of intelligent oilfield construction, while the energy-saving problem in the process of information transmission has become increasingly prominent. In order to ensure the sustainable development of China's oil and gas industry, low-power wireless transmission has become a basic requirement for the current intelligent oil and gas pipeline communication construction. For the monitoring of pipeline operating conditions, pressure and flow rate values are important parameters. If the accuracy and comprehensiveness of pipeline operation data can be ensured simultaneously under an energy-efficient transmission mechanism, it will provide strong support for the green and safe operation of pipelines. Therefore, in this paper, a recursive filtering study is conducted for natural gas gathering pipeline flow system under duty cycle transmission mechanism to complete the reliable monitoring of pipeline fluid transportation status.

Authors: Hu Zhaozhao , Wu Lianfan , Qian Xiaowei
Published: July 2022

In recent years, with the rapid development of digital technology, digitization has become one of the main ways to protect and disseminate intangible cultural heritage (ICH). In this study, 298 papers in the Web of Science (WoS)database and 240 papers in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)database from January 2004 to December 2021 were used as samples to compare and analyze the research on digitization of ICH in China and abroad. By analyzing and visualizing the information of publication time, discipline distribution, country distribution, authors, institutions, and keywords, the results revealed that: (1) Most international research focuses on scientific and technical disciplines, and computer disciplines occupy an important position in the research of ICH digitization. Chinese research, for the most part, focuses on humanities disciplines, and the proportion of computer disciplines is lower than international levels. (2) In recent years, international research involves emerging disciplines such as green sustainable science technology, environmental sciences, environmental studies, remote sensing, and materials science multidisciplinary, but Chinese research has not yet covered the above-mentioned fields. China should strengthen the cross-fertilization between different disciplines, encourage more engineering disciplines to participate in research, and focus on the research and application of emerging technologies. (3) Whether in China or abroad, there is no stable core author group in the field of in the field of ICH digitization. There are few collaborations among authors. (4) In the future, China should stimulate the communication vitality of various research subjects, build an open and integrated innovation ecology, and jointly promote the construction of a collaborative research network for digitization of ICH.
