Authors: Hodor Katarzyna , Przybylak Łukasz , Kuśmierski Jacek , Wilkosz-Mamcarczyk Magdalena
Published: January 2021

The paper is based on a survey and investigates the functioning of historic gardens during the pandemic. The authors collected and analysed information on the impact of the pandemic on the behaviour of visitors, maintenance, and condition of cultural heritage assets, European historic gardens. Four aspects were considered particularly carefully: the situation of gardens during the COVID-19 pandemic, maintenance and care in gardens, virtual activity and communication, and financial consequences. The authors determined the conditions of the gardens and the problems they faced based on a survey completed by 23 managers of 31 historic gardens from June to August 2020 and then proposed a diagnosis. The paper presents the survey results. In general, visitor volumes tended to drop in 2020, which significantly affected gardens’ financial standing and contributed to workforce reductions. The garden condition and treatments were affected, as well. Reduced visitor volumes resulted in positive environmental changes. Among them were ecological succession, the stability of landscaped plants, increase in vegetation, improved biodiversity in the ground cover, and enhanced animal presence. Additional safety measures were implemented after the gardens were reopened to the public during the pandemic, mostly social distancing, and obligatory face masks. Less than half of the gardens had contingency plans, and 25% of the respondents were working to develop one. The analyses provided foundations to start working on a universal emergency strategy similar to procedures used for years for permanent collections at museums. Note that, being open public spaces and live museums, historic gardens were the first places reopened after the lockdown. Recommendations based on the study can contribute to the future safe functioning of historic gardens in other similar crises. The guidelines offer instructions, advice, and recommendations that form foundations of the development of a universal management model facilitating the preservation of historic gardens in good condition while exploiting their ecological potential.
Multi-Risk Climate Mapping for the Adaptation of the Venice Metropolitan Area

Published: January 2021

Climate change risk reduction requires cities to undertake urgent decisions. One of the principal obstacles that hinders effective decision making is insufficient spatial knowledge frameworks. Cities climate adaptation planning must become strategic to rethink and transform urban fabrics holistically. Contemporary urban planning should merge future threats with older and unsolved criticalities, like social inequities, urban conflicts and “drosscapes”. Retrofitting planning processes and redefining urban objectives requires the development of innovative spatial information frameworks. This paper proposes a combination of approaches to overcome knowledge production limits and to support climate adaptation planning. The research was undertaken in collaboration with the Metropolitan City of Venice and the Municipality of Venice, and required the production of a multi-risk climate atlas to support their future spatial planning efforts. The developed tool is a Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS), which aids adaptation actions and the coordination of strategies. The model recognises and assesses two climate impacts: Urban Heat Island and Flooding, representing the Metropolitan City of Venice (CMVE) as a case study in complexity. The model is composed from multiple assessment methodologies and maps both vulnerability and risk. The atlas links the morphological and functional conditions of urban fabrics and land use that triggers climate impacts. The atlas takes the exposure assessment of urban assets into account, using this parameter to describe local economies and social services, and map the uneven distribution of impacts. The resulting tool is therefore a replicable and scalable mapping assessment able to mediate between metropolitan and local level planning systems.

Published: January 2021

The mentalis muscle is now considered key structures when performing procedures for rejuvenating the lower face. The aim of this study was to determine the anatomical morphology and location of the mentalis muscle and thereby provide anatomical information for facilitating clinical procedures designed to rejuvenate the lower face. Forty-four adult hemifaces from five Thai cadavers and 21 Korean cadavers were dissected to identify the locations of the mentalis muscle. Sixty-six hemifaces from 33 healthy young Korean subjects were included in an ultrasonographic study. The depth of the mentalis muscle below the skin surface, the thickness of the mentalis muscle, and the distance from the bone to the mentalis muscle were measured at the two points that were 5 mm lateral to the most-prominent point of the chin. The mentalis muscle was classified into two types based to its shape: in type A (86.4%, 38 of the 44 cases) it was dome shaped in three dimensions, while in type B (13.6%, 6 of the 44 cases) it was flat. The mentalis muscle was present mostly at the area 5–10 mm from the midsagittal line and 20–30 mm from a horizontal line connecting the mouth corners. The mentalis muscle was present between depths of 6.7 to 10.7 mm below the skin. This new information about the location of the mentalis muscle may help when identifying the most effective and safe botulinum toxin injection points and depths during esthetic procedures for weakened facial rhytides on the lower face.

Published: January 2021

Background: Cats with neurologic feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) are difficult to diagnose. Aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of detecting feline coronavirus (FCoV) RNA and spike (S) gene mutations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Methods: The study included 30 cats with confirmed FIP (six with neurological signs) and 29 control cats (eleven with neurological signs) with other diseases resulting in similar clinical signs. CSF was tested for FCoV RNA by 7b-RT-qPCR in all cats. In RT-qPCR-positive cases, S-RT-qPCR was additionally performed to identify spike gene mutations. Results: Nine cats with FIP (9/30, 30%), but none of the control cats were positive for FCoV RNA in CSF. Sensitivity of 7b-RT-qPCR in CSF was higher for cats with neurological FIP (83.3%; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 41.8–98.9) than for cats with non-neurological FIP (16.7%; 95% CI 6.1–36.5). Spike gene mutations were rarely detected. Conclusions: FCoV RNA was frequently present in CSF of cats with neurological FIP, but only rarely in cats with non-neurological FIP. Screening for spike gene mutations did not enhance specificity in this patient group. Larger populations of cats with neurological FIP should be explored in future studies.
Australian Bat Lyssavirus: Analysis of National Bat Surveillance Data from 2010 to 2016

Published: January 2021

Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV) was first described in 1996 and has been regularly detected in Australian bats since that time. While the virus does not cause population level impacts in bats and has minimal impacts on domestic animals, it does pose a public health risk. For this reason, bats are monitored for ABLV and a national dataset is collated and maintained by Wildlife Health Australia. The 2010–2016 dataset was analysed using logistic regression and time-series analysis to identify predictors of infection status in bats and the factors associated with human exposure to bats. In common with previous passive surveillance studies, we found that little red flying-foxes (Pteropus scapulatus) are more likely than other species to be infected with ABLV. In the four Australian mainland species of flying-fox, there are seasonal differences in infection risk that may be associated with reproductive cycles, with summer and autumn the seasons of greatest risk. The risk of human contact was also seasonal, with lower risk in winter. In line with other studies, we found that the circumstances in which the bat is encountered, such as exhibiting abnormal behaviour or being grounded, are risk factors for ABLV infection and human contact and should continue be key components of public health messaging. We also found evidence of biased recording of some types of information, which made interpretation of some findings more challenging. Strengthening of “One Health” linkages between public health and animal health services at the operational level could help overcome these biases in future, and greater harmonisation nationally would increase the value of the dataset.

Engineered small non-antibody protein scaffolds are a promising alternative to antibodies and are especially attractive for use in protein therapeutics and diagnostics. The advantages include smaller size and a more robust, single-domain structural framework with a defined binding surface amenable to mutation. This calls for a more systematic approach in designing new scaffolds suitable for use in one or more methods of directed evolution. We hereby describe a process based on an analysis of protein structures from the Protein Data Bank and their experimental examination. The candidate protein scaffolds were subjected to a thorough screening including computational evaluation of the mutability, and experimental determination of their expression yield in E. coli, solubility, and thermostability. In the next step, we examined several variants of the candidate scaffolds including their wild types and alanine mutants. We proved the applicability of this systematic procedure by selecting a monomeric single-domain human protein with a fold different from previously known scaffolds. The newly developed scaffold, called ProBi (Protein Binder), contains two independently mutable surface patches. We demonstrated its functionality by training it as a binder against human interleukin-10, a medically important cytokine. The procedure yielded scaffold-related variants with nanomolar affinity.
Impact of Controlled Drainage and Subirrigation on Water Quality in the Red River Valley
Authors: Almen Kristen , Jia Xinhua , DeSutter Thomas , Scherer Thomas , Lin Minglian
Published: January 2021

The potential impact of controlled drainage (CD), which limits drainage outflow, and subirrigation (SI), which provides supplemental water through drain tile, on surface water quality are not well known in the Red River Valley (RRV). In this study, water samples were collected and analyzed for chemical concentrations from a tile-drained field that also has controlled drainage and subirrigation modes in the RRV of southeastern North Dakota from 2012–2018. A decreasing trend in overall nutrient load loss was observed because of reduced drainage outflow, though some chemical concentrations were found to be above the recommended surface water quality standards in this region. For example, sulfate was recommended to be below 750 mg/L but was reported at a mean value of 1971 mg/L during spring free drainage. The chemical composition of the subirrigation water was shown to have an impact on drainage water and the soil, specifically on salinity-related parameters, and the impact varied between years. This variation largely depended on the amount of subirrigation applied, soil moisture, and soil properties. Overall, the results of this study show the benefits of controlled drainage on nutrient loss reduction from agricultural fields.
Water Demand Prediction Using Machine Learning Methods: A Case Study of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Region in China
Authors: Shuang Qing , Zhao Rui Ting
Published: January 2021

Predicting water demand helps decision-makers allocate regional water resources efficiently, thereby preventing water waste and shortage. The aim of this study is to predict water demand in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region of North China. The explanatory variables associated with economy, community, water use, and resource availability were identified. Eleven statistical and machine learning models were built, which used data covering the 2004–2019 period. Interpolation and extrapolation scenarios were conducted to find the most suitable predictive model. The results suggest that the gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) model demonstrates the best prediction performance in the two scenarios. The model was further tested for three other regions in China, and its robustness was validated. The water demand in 2020–2021 was provided. The results show that the identified explanatory variables were effective in water demand prediction. The machine learning models outperformed the statistical models, with the ensemble models being superior to the single predictor models. The best predictive model can also be applied to other regions to help forecast water demand to ensure sustainable water resource management.
Determination of Force Coefficients for a Submerged Rigid Breakwater under the Action of Solitary Waves
Authors: Aristodemo Francesco , Tripepi Giuseppe , Gurnari Luana , Filianoti Pasquale
Published: January 2021

We present an analysis related to the evaluation of Morison and transverse force coefficients in the case of a submerged square barrier subject to the action of solitary waves. To this purpose, two-dimensional experimental research was undertaken in the wave flume of the University of Calabria, in which a rigid square barrier was provided by a discrete battery of pressure sensors to determine the horizontal and vertical hydrodynamic forces. A total set of 18 laboratory tests was carried out by varying the motion law of a piston-type paddle. Owing to the low Keulegan–Carpenter numbers of the tests, the force regime of the physical tests was defined by the dominance of the inertia loads in the horizontal direction and of the lift loads in the vertical one. Through the use of the time series of wave forces and the undisturbed kinematics, drag, horizontal inertia, lift, and vertical inertia coefficients in the Morison and transverse semi-empirical schemes were calculated using time-domain approaches, adopting the WLS1 method for the minimization of the difference between the maximum forces and the linked phase shifts by comparing laboratory and calculated wave loads. Practical equations to calculate these coefficients as a function of the wave non-linearity were introduced. The obtained results highlighted the prevalence of the horizontal forces in comparison with the vertical ones which, however, prove to be fundamental for stability purposes of the barrier. An overall good agreement between the experimental forces and those calculated by the calibrated semi-empirical schemes was found, particularly for the positive horizontal and vertical loads. The analysis of the hydrodynamic coefficients showed a decreasing trend for the drag, horizontal inertia, and lift coefficients as a function of the wave non-linearity, while the vertical inertia coefficient underlined an initial increasing trend and a successive slight decreasing trend.

Published: January 2021

The article offers a brief introduction to a great contemporary scientist – Professor Gerard Hofstede. Three reasons are underlined in connection with the question why Bulgarian researchers, some of them from NBU, are proud to have contributed to the development and implementation of its model for understanding intercultural differences and those in different organizations. The six Hofstede’s dimensions are discussed theoretically. These are: Power Distance; Individualism Versus Collectivism; Masculinity Versus Femininity; Uncertainty Avoidance; Long- and Short-Term Oriented National Cultures; and Indulgence Versus Restraint. Empirical results for Bulgarian culture are presented along with comparisons between Bulgaria and some other cultures using the principle of similarities and differences.

Published: January 2021

Este trabajo se enmarca en las discusiones acerca del estatus y las características que tienen las emociones vinculadas a las experiencias estéticas en contextos ficcionales. Se ofrece una lectura desde la perspectiva de Jean Marie Schaeffer que rechaza la idea de que las emociones en contextos ficcionales son sólo cuasi o pseudo-emociones o emociones simuladas o fingidas. Asimismo, se cuestiona uno de los sentidos que adquiere el término “ficcionalizar” para ese autor. Por último, se discute la supuesta despragmatización de las consecuencias para la vida activa que tendrían las emociones vinculadas a las experiencias estéticas.

Mortality of Tribolium castaneum and quality changes in Oryza sativa by indirect exposure to Non-Thermal Plasma
Authors: Paul Anjaly , R Mahendran
Published: January 2021

The management of stored product pests is a serious concern as it contributes to postharvest product losses. This study investigated the influence of NTP on the control of Tribolium castaneum adults and the quality of Oryza sativa and compared with phosphine fumigation. The experiments were performed at 100 - 200 V of NTP and 100 - 200 ppm of phosphine for the exposure periods of 8, 16, and 24 h. Mortality of 100 % and 86.67 % was obtained at 24 h of exposure for plasma treatment (200 V) and phosphine (200 ppm), respectively. The quality changes in rice during the mortality studies were also evaluated for treated samples. The cooking properties, texture, hydration behavior, and pasting profile along with color and moisture content were investigated. The statistical analysis did not report any significant quality changes for plasma and phosphine treated rice compared to the untreated samples. The microstructural changes in the rice was also examined by scanning electron microscope. The results suggest that NTP treatment can be used as a useful tool for the control of T. castaneum without affecting the properties of rice. However, large scale studies have to be explored for practical usage of NTP in management of stored product pests.

Companies open job vacancies, so in a short time usually will be flooded with files from job seekers. The problem is sometimes companies have difficulty in selecting job applicants, so applicants who actually do not meet the criteria or needs are included in the interview process, or even accepted to work at the company. As a result the company will have a workforce that is actually not in accordance with company needs. This study aims to make it easier to determine which applicants are truly competent and fit to be employees for certain positions in a company and facilitate the placement of employees in divisions that are available according to their expertise and needs. The method used to answer the problems faced by the AHP method. AHP results obtained from a questionnaire with 3 respondents who gave their answers were calculated and the final results obtained that prospective employee B was superior (52.3%) compared to prospective employee A (37.2%) and prospective employee C (10.5%).

Este artigo investiga a história do ensino de francês no Brasil a partir de quatro compêndios disponíveis na América portuguesa na primeira década de 1800: Remarqves Svr La Langve Françoise, de Vaugelas; L’art De Bien Parler François, de Pierre De La Touche; Grammatica Franceza, Ou Arte Para Aprender O Francez Por Meio Do Portuguez, Regulada Pelas Notas E Refflexoens Da Academia De França, de Luís Caetano de Lima e Novo, E Facillimo Methodo De Grammatica Franceza, E Portugueza, Recopilado Dos Melhores Authores, publicado na oficina de António Ginião. Os livros compõem o acervo digital da Biblioteca Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, da Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal e da Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Foram analisados seus conteúdos de ensino que repercutem suas finalidades políticas e pedagógicas, justificada pelo uso nas cortes e depois como disciplina escolar (COMPÈRE; CHERVEL, 1999). Percebemos na análise descritiva um movimento na história do ensino de francês que vai da contemplação da língua e de seu ensino como arte ao entendimento lógico e racional de transmissão desse saber pela gramática. Observamos uma finalidade utilitarista no ensino de francês como código de acesso ao modelo de modernidade francês.
Implicações políticas, didáticas e culturais do ensino-aprendizagem do FOS para os estudantes dos cursos de Relações Internacionais na Paraíba
Authors: Koffmann Rossana Souto Lima , Da Silva Maria Rennally Soares
Published: January 2021

O lugar que ocupa a Língua Francesa nas relações internacionais a torna uma língua que faz parte da diplomacia, do mercado de trabalho e de algumas das mais importantes organizações internacionais, a exemplo da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) e da União Europeia (UE). Por quase duzentos anos, o francês foi a língua da diplomacia ocidental. O Tratado de Rastatt foi o primeiro a ser redigido em francês, no lugar do latim, em 1714 (AUTRAND; BÉLY; CONTAMINE, 2007). Posteriormente, especialmente entre o final do século XVII e o início do século XX, o francês cedeu espaço para a língua inglesa, sem perder, no entanto, o seu status jurídico e formal (HOHENECKER, 2012). Assim, o ensino-aprendizagem da Língua Francesa para estudantes brasileiros que se dedicam à área das Relações Internacionais deve ser pensado de modo particular, se inserindo na modalidade Français sur Objectif Spécifique – FOS. Diante dessa particularidade, não há muitas pesquisas que visem a delinear as necessidades e o formato de um curso voltado para esse fim. Desse modo, através de uma pesquisa de natureza bibliográfica (GIL, 2008), objetivamos refletir sobre as implicações do ensino-aprendizagem do FOS, focando nos aspectos políticos, didáticos e culturais, para os estudantes do curso de Relações Internacionais(RI) na Paraíba, tomando por base os estudos de Spolsky (2004, 2009, 2012), que discute sobre as implicações das Políticas Linguísticas (PL) e a noção de Ideologias Linguísticas (IL) de Del Valle (2007). Também nos baseamos em estudos de Parpette e Mangiante (2016) acerca do FOS. As reflexões aqui desenvolvidas oferecem uma proposta específica para as aulas de francês para o público do curso de RI da Universidade Estadual da Paraíba (UEPB).

Published: January 2021

Video game consoles share many of the characteristics of an ideal device for use in enterprise deployments. In comparison to many desktop and notebook PCs available in the market, modern video game consoles are actually quite powerful and capable. They provide an excellent user experience with simple and intuitive setup and operation. At the heart of the design of many modern video game consoles is security; they are remarkably resilient against very sophisticated hardware and software attacks. They are also rather cost-effective in comparison to modern PCs.
The Ras Tafari Movement - its Genesis and Functions
Authors: Nowicka Ewa
Published: January 2021

This article is an early analysis of the then nascent Ras Tafari movement. The movement is described as both religious and political. A short historical overview of the movement's development is presented along with a brief biography of Marcus Garvey, its most important figure. It also summarizes early Rastafari ideas related with emigration to Africa. The emergence of Rastafarian ideas is explained using a psychological approach to social movements; Rastafarianism is suggested to be a manifestation of protest against the living conditions in Jamaica.
Estimation of COVID-19 cases in Brazil: mathematical modeling study
Authors: Sheng L. Y. , Sartori A. L.
Published: January 2021

The objective was to describe a mathematical model to estimate cases by COVID-19 in Brazil in the short term and to identify the existence of forces to inhibit the spread of SARS-CoV2. Cases confirmed by COVID-19 in Brazil from March 16 to May 31, 2020 were used to develop a mathematical equation for estimating COVID-19 cases for up to 13 future days. Correction factors were calculated to identify whether there was an inhibition of the spread of infection in the country. The relative error and Pearson's correlation were analyzed to determine the model's performance. Six models were developed (gross, S1, S2, S3, S4 and corrected). The corrected model showed good adherence to the number of estimated and observed cases. Eight correction factors were calculated, which increased during the study period. The increase in correction factors expressed the loss of the inhibition force of interventions implemented in the country for the prevention and control of infection. The proposed mathematical model proved to be viable and feasible for implementation in epidemiological surveillance services.

The yellow passion fruit tis cultivated and commercialized throughout the Brazilian territory, it contributes to the generation of employment, and can be cultivated from micro to large producers. The Passifloraceae family is one of the most studied in breeding programs, aiming at the production of hybrids. The objective of the work was to identify the pollen viability of Passiflora edulis, using three dyes, being Lugol 2%, Alexander reactive 2% and blackcurrant juice. The data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance, followed by Tukey’s test to compare means at a significance level of 5%, using the R software.  The results indicated a high rate of viable pollens, with no difference between the dyes used, since that the reactive dye Alexander was the one that best enable the identification of viable and non-viable pollens.

Published: January 2021

Tuberculosis is a common disease in developing countries. It constitutes a major health problem. Several forms are described: Pleuro-pulmonary and extra-pulmonary forms. Osteoarticular tuberculosis represents 3 to 5% of all localizations. In case of no clinical improvement and worsening of symptoms, other diagnosis must be evoked, especially, tumoral causes. We describe the case of a woman who was treated for mediastinal lymph node tuberculosis with suspicion of tuberculosis spondylodiscitis, in whom preclinical investigations revealed a spinal metastasis of a papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Aplicación móvil en Android para la adquisición de Gas Licuado de Petróleo (GLP) doméstico
Authors: Eras Camacho Frank , Hidalgo Lascano Pablo
Published: January 2021

At present, access to Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for domestic use is carried out in a traditional way, by means of gas transport vehicles that circulate through cities. The problem with this form of distribution is the dependence on schedules and routes of mobile gas distributors, being an ineffective way to commercialize gas for domestic use and bringing consequences like vehicular traffic, noise pollution and environmental pollution. For this reason, a mobile application was developed that allows the optimization of the gas distribution process using software development tools such as Android Studio, Firebase and Google APIs.
Letramento estatístico e insubordinação criativa na Educação Infantil: algumas reflexões
Authors: Lira Flávia Luíza de , Carvalho Liliane Maria Teixeira Lima de
Published: January 2021

Este artigo é parte de um estudo de mestrado que busca analisar a ampliação de possibilidades para o ensino de estatística na educação infantil na perspectiva da alfabetização estatística. Neste recorte, analisamos aspectos da insubordinação criativa dos professores de educação infantil sobre como eles inserem atividades estatísticas em seus planejamentos e experiências com as crianças. Para isso, realizamos uma entrevista semiestruturada com três professores que ministram aulas com crianças de 5 anos de idade de um Centro Municipal de Educação Infantil, cujo município adquiriu recentemente livros didáticos para crianças de 4 e 5 anos. Nossas categorias de análise foram: conhecimento prévio de estatística pelos professores; abordagem de situações de estatística em sala de aula; e análise de atividades de estatística no livro didático. Nos seus relatórios, os professores demonstram possibilitar o protagonismo das crianças a partir de atividades diversificadas, como a construção e interpretação de gráficos. Consideramos que as práticas pedagógicas dos professores revelam ações de insubordinação criativa à medida que vão além das propostas do livro e das recomendações curriculares dos documentos oficiais.
Texto jornalístico e Estatística: insubordinação criativa com alunos do Ensino Médio
Authors: Kleine Martha Regina Egéa
Published: January 2021

Nesse trabalho, apresento um projeto de estatística desenvolvido com estudantes de 3º ano do Ensino Médio de uma escola da rede estadual de educação de São Paulo, em que os estudantes são incentivados a elaborar uma investigação estatística, concluindo com uma reportagem jornalística. Na atividade desenvolvida há uma ruptura com a concepção de estatística como adestramento nas habilidades de cálculos e no uso de gráficos para a comunicação de dados, num cenário de investigação. O texto aborda a insubordinação criativa, entendida como meio para alcançar estudantes reflexivos e críticos na sociedade em que está inserido, de forma a promover uma aprendizagem efetiva.
