Authors: ÇETİNKAYA Yusuf
Published: August 2023

Duygusal aracılık hipotezi, insanların müzik-renk arasında eşleşmeler yaptıklarında müziğin duygusal çağrışımlarına uygun renklerin seçildiğini savunur. Bu araştırmada klasik batı müziği piyano eserleri ile ilgili müzik-renk ve müzik-duygu çağrışımlarının belirlenerek duygusal aracılık hipotezinin test edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma Ordu Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi’nin farklı anabilim dallarında öğrenim gören 151 öğrenci üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada son-test tek gruplu deneme öncesi desen kullanılmıştır. Deneysel işlemde katılımcılara Mozart (Majör tonunda/hızlı tempoda), Beethoven (Minör tonunda/hızlı tempoda) ve Chopin’in (Minör tonunda/yavaş tempoda) piyano eserleri dinletilmiştir. Katılımcılar dinledikleri her bir eseri yakın üç renkle ve en yakın üç duyguyla eşleştirmişledir. Katılımcıların renkleri seçmesi için 37 renkten oluşan bir kartela kullanılmıştır. Duygular için mutlu/üzgün, huzurlu/gergin, güçlü/zayıf olmak üzere 6 duygu durumu sunulmuştur. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistik yöntemlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin duygusal aracılık hipotezini desteklediği söylenebilir. Katılımcıların seçtikleri renkler ve duygu durumları dinlenen müziklerin ton ve hızlarına göre farklı dağılımlar göstermektedir. Ayrıca sonuçlar müzik-renk ve müzik-duygu çağrışımları dağılımının alanyazındaki çalışmalar ile örtüştüğünü göstermektedir.

A Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida (AIDS) é uma doença causada pelo Vírus da Imunodeficiência humana (HIV) que acomete o sistema imunológico, resultando na desregulação imunitária do indivíduo. Por se tratar de uma doença infecciosa grave, a AIDS é um grande problema para a saúde pública. Com base nisso, o atual estudo teve como objetivo descrever o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes diagnosticados com HIV/AIDS cadastrados no município de Juazeiro-Bahia. Para isso, foi feito um estudo descritivo, transversal, retrospectivo de caráter epidemiológico e com abordagem quantitativa. As informações foram coletadas a partir da base de informações do Departamento de Doenças de Condições Crônicas e Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (DCCI) vinculado à Secretaria de Vigilância em Saúde do Ministério da Saúde, disponíveis no site DATASUS. Dos 906 casos detectados, no período de 1980 a 2022, 597 eram do sexo masculino, ocorrendo aumento na incidência, nos últimos anos, na população heterossexual. Foi constatado uma queda no número de casos de 2022 em relação ao ano de 2021. Observa-se também predomínio dos pardos (52,2%) desde 1980 e de pessoas com 5º e 8º série incompleta e uma taxa de mortalidade com um decréscimo de mais de 50% entre 2020 e 2021.
Change in diazotrophic community structure associated with Kuroshio succession in the northern South China Sea
Authors: Zhang Han , Mai Guangming , Luo Weicheng , Chen Meng , Duan Ran , Shi Tuo
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Kuroshio intrusion (KI) is a key process that transports water from the Western Pacific Ocean to the northern South China Sea (nSCS), where KI-induced surface water mixing often causes variations in microbial assemblages. Yet, how interannual KIs affect biogeography of diazotrophs and associated environmental factors, remains poorly characterized. Here, by quantifying the degree of KIs in two consecutive years, coupled with monitoring the diversity and distribution of nitrogenase-encoding nifH phylotypes with quantitative PCR and high-throughput sequencing, we show that changes in the diazotrophic community structure in the nSCS are highly correlated with KI leading to variations in a range of physicochemical parameters. Specifically, the filamentous cyanobacterium Trichodesmium was more abundant at stations strongly affected by KI, and hereby with deeper mixed layer, higher surface salinity, and temperature; the unicellular N2-fixing cyanobacteria in group B (UCYN-B) were more abundant at stations least affected by KI and correlated with nutrient availability, whereas UCYN-C and the non-cyanobacterial γ-proteobacteria were prevalent at stations moderately affected by KI. Moreover, neutral community model further demonstrated that dominant diazotrophic subcommunities were more significantly affected by environmental factors in 2017 when KI was strong than in 2018 when KI appeared to have retreated. Collectively, our analyses provide insightful evidence in the role of KI succession in shaping diazotrophic community structure primarily as a stochastic process, implying a potential region-scale redistribution of diazotrophs and nitrogen budget, given that KIs are projected to intensify in a future warming ocean.
Using automated machine learning for the upscaling of gross primary productivity
Authors: Gaber Max , Kang Yanghui , Schurgers Guy , Keenan Trevor
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Estimating gross primary productivity (GPP) over space and time is fundamental for understanding the response of the terrestrial biosphere to climate change. Eddy-covariance flux towers provide in situ estimates of GPP at the ecosystem scale, but their sparse geographical distribution limits larger scales inference. Machine learning (ML) techniques have been used to address this problem by extrapolating local GPP measurements over space using satellite remote sensing data. However, the accuracy of the regression model can be affected by uncertainties introduced by model selection, parametrization, and choice of predictor features. Recent advances in automated ML (AutoML) provide a novel automated way to select and synthesize different ML models. In this work, we explore the potential of AutoML by training three major AutoML frameworks on eddy-covariance measurements of GPP at 243 globally distributed sites. We compared their ability to predict GPP and its spatial and temporal variability based on different sets of remote sensing predictor variables. Predictor variables from only MODIS surface reflectance data and photosynthetically active radiation explained over 70 % of the monthly variability in GPP, while satellite-derived proxies for land surface temperature, evapotranspiration, soil moisture and plant functional types, and climate variables from reanalysis (ERA5-Land) further improved the frameworks' predictive ability. We found that the AutoML framework AutoSklearn consistently outperformed other AutoML frameworks as well as a classical Random Forest regressor in predicting GPP, reaching an overall r2 of 0.75. In addition, we deployed AutoSklearn to generate global wall-to-wall maps highlighting GPP patterns in good agreement with satellite-derived reference data. This research benchmarks the application of AutoML in GPP estimation and assesses its potential and limitations in quantifying global photosynthetic activity.
Leveraging dynamic capabilities for machine learning integration in retail demand planning
Authors:   , Devlin Bryce
Published: August 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic and recent natural disasters have demonstrated that traditional demand planning solutions cannot effectively forecast during major disruptions, causing product shortages and subsequent effects on consumer behaviour. Artificial intelligence can provide advanced insights which better inform a firm’s demand planning decisions and adapt to domestic and global disruptions. In a dynamic market, firms that can meet consumer demands will succeed over their competitors. This thesis incorporates interviews with supply chain professionals and finds that planning teams with strategically aligned hybrid skillsets coupled with machine learning-based planning solutions positions firms well to minimise demand risks in extreme market conditions.
Effects of Acute Loading Induced Fatigability, Acute Serum Hormone Responses and Training Volume to Individual Hypertrophy and Maximal Strength during 10 Weeks of Strength Training
Authors: Räntilä Aapo , Ahtiainen Juha P. , Häkkinen Keijo
Published: August 2023

This study investigated whether a strength training session-induced acute fatigue is related to individuals’ strength training adaptations in maximal force and/or muscle hypertrophy, and whether acute responses in serum testosterone (T) and growth hormone (GH) concentrations during the training sessions would be associated with individual neuromuscular adaptations. 26 males completed the 10-week strength-training intervention, which included fatiguing dynamic leg press acute loading bouts (5 x 10 RM) at weeks two, four, six, and ten. Blood samples were collected before and after the loading and after 24h of recovery for serum T, GH, and cortisol (C) concentrations at weeks 2, 6, and 10. The cross-sectional area of the vastus lateralis was measured by ultrasonography. Isometric force measurements were performed before and immediately after loadings, and loading-induced acute decrease in maximal force was reported as the fatigue percentage. The subjects were split into three groups according to the degree of training-induced muscle hypertrophy after the training period. Increases in isometric force were significant for High Responders (HR, n = 10) (by 24.3 % ± 17.2, p = 0.035) and Medium Responders (MR, n = 7) (by 23.8 % ± 5.5, p = 0.002), whereas the increase of 26.2 % (±16.5) in Low Responders (LR, n = 7) was not significant. The amount of work (cm + s) increased significantly at every measurement point in all the groups. A significant correlation was observed between the fatigue percentage and relative changes in isometric force after the training period for the whole group (R = 0.475, p = 0.022) and separately only in HR (R = 0.643, p = 0.049). Only the HR group showed increased acute serum GH concentrations at every measurement point. There was also a significant acute increase in serum T for HR at weeks 6 and 10. HR showed the strongest correlation between acute loading-induced fatigue and isometric force gains. HR was also more sensitive to acute increases in serum concentrations of T and GH after the loading. Acute fatigue and serum GH concentrations may be indicators of responsiveness to muscle strength gain and, to some extent, muscle hypertrophy.

Published: August 2023

In recent years, high-intensity training methods like CrossFit® have gained popularity in Brazil's fitness scene. However, these exercises, if done improperly, can lead to musculoskeletal injuries, particularly in the shoulder. This study examines shoulder injuries among CrossFit® enthusiasts through an integrative review. Using databases like Scielo, Lilacs, Medline, PubMed, and Google Scholar, research from August 2021 to June 2022 was reviewed using keywords like Shoulder joint, High-Intensity Interval Training, and Injuries. Articles in Portuguese from the past five years were included, excluding duplicates and those unrelated to the research theme. After applying these criteria, 10 articles were suitable for the review. Findings showed that among CrossFit® practitioners, the shoulder was more prone to injuries than other areas like the lumbar spine, wrist, or knee. The review identified that overloading the shoulder due to intense exercises, especially Olympic weightlifting, and gymnastics, was the primary cause of these injuries.

Published: August 2023

O desconhecimento da biodiversidade representa um dos principais entraves para seu manejo e conservação. Uma série de estudos tem demonstrado a extinção rápida das espécies de abelhas nas áreas urbanas e periurbanas, de modo que o inventário rápido e disseminação do conhecimento das espécies nativas e sua distribuição através de uma metodologia simples, de baixo custo e facilmente replicável, representa uma das metas para evitar que o desconhecimento leve a extinção local e regional das espécies. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar e apresentar a efetividade um inventário rápido de 5 semanas, da diversidade de abelhas dos Campos Rupestres da Serrinha do Paranoá - uma área de extrema relevância biológica no Planalto Central do Brasil. Para amostragem das abelhas foi usado basicamente armadilhas passivas como copos armadilhas azuis UV (pan-traps) e garrafas-pet com iscas aromáticas. Foram coletadas 849 abelhas de 90 espécies, sendo 536 abelhas de 78 espécies em pan traps e 314 abelhas de 31 espécies nas armadilhas de garrafas pet. As estimativas de riqueza sugerem ao menos 120 espécies a partir da amostragem com estas técnicas de coleta. Foi observado que as áreas mais altas e com menor proporção de urbanização apresentam maior riqueza de espécies que as áreas destinadas mais alteradas e destinadas a implementação ao Parque Pedra dos Amigos. Comparativamente com estudos realizados no Cerrado, os valores de riqueza são semelhantes, porém o diferencial encontra-se no tempo realizado no presente estudo de somente 5 semanas. É preciso alertar sobre a necessidade de conservação destas áreas únicas do DF, evidenciando à sociedade que a supressão destas áreas levará à extinção local das espécies presentes na serrinha do Paranoá.

Published: August 2023

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a participação dos setores da sociedade civil no Conselho de Gestão do Patrimônio Genético (CGen) – órgão administrativo responsável pelo controle do acesso ao patrimônio genético e ao conhecimento tradicional associado. Questiona-se o que os dados referentes às reuniões plenárias revelam sobre a participação da sociedade civil, representada pelos setores da indústria, da academia e dos povos e comunidades tradicionais, tendo como base as mudanças na estrutura do CGen, ocasionadas pela Lei nº 13.123/2015. Buscou-se verificar como se dá a representação da sociedade civil no CGen a partir de sua natureza, composição e qualificação dos seus representantes. Foram utilizados como dados empíricos as atas e pautas das reuniões plenárias do CGen, após a vigência da Lei nº 13.123/2015, compreendendo 21 reuniões ordinárias e três reuniões extraordinárias. Esses documentos foram coletados para, por meio das regras de inferência, explorar como acontece a participação da sociedade na produção normativa do Conselho. Evidenciou-se a partir desta pesquisa que há, entre os participantes do Conselho, a prevalência de representantes do setor da indústria entre os conselheiros e entre os ouvintes. Com isso, conclui-se que pode existir uma distribuição irregular do poder político na construção normativa da política pública no CGen e, logo, de direitos fundamentais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa preliminar que pretende, a partir dessa primeira análise, discutir as tensões políticas presentes nesse espaço, suas disputas e processos de decisão.

Published: August 2023

Leadership effectiveness depends on effective management, as organizational success depends on employee performance and leader/supervisor. The study was directed to assess the influence of leadership approaches on employees’ performance in microfinance banks in Rwanda. Research on leadership theories, including Douglas McGregor's X-Y, Fiedler's Contingency Theory, Trait Theories, Behavioral theories, and Charismatic Leadership, will benefit researchers, Copedu Plc, MKU University, Rwanda government, and public in general. The research design was descriptive. While the target population was 48 employees of Copedu Plc the sample, size was the same since the population was too small. The data was collected and analyzed using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 23, to show mean, standard deviation and percentages. The researcher used correlation coefficient to determine the relationship between variables while the regression analysis was to determine the influence of leadership approaches on employees’ performance in microfinance banks in Rwanda. The findings showed that majority of the respondents agreed that change leadership styles can adapt employees working environment leading to decision-making as team and minority disagree and implied that change leadership styles can adapt employees working environment. Majority of the respondents agreed that involve employees in decision making improves morale and employees flexibility decision making in microfinance and minority of respondents disagree with statement. This implied that involving employees in decision-making improves morale. Regression analysis on transformational leadership, p-value was .699 which was greater than the 0.05 set as standard significance levels. This means that null hypothesis stated that there is no significant influence of transformational leadership on employees’ performance of Copedu Plc, was accepted and goes by the null hypothesis, which states that the independent variable has doesn’t have influence employees’ performance in terms punctuality and good time management, creativity and innovation and ability to perform efficiently. Researcher recommends management delegating empowers to employees for trust, professional development, and situational leadership. Keywords: Leadership Approaches, Employees Performance, Microfinance Banks, Copedu Plc Microfinance, Rwanda.

The aim of the study was to instill the practice of prayer in children and introduce them to Islam through the practices of their parents from an early age. Qualitative research methods were chosen, especially descriptive qualitative research. The study, conducted at TK Al Amanah, included five parents with children aged 4 to 6. The findings highlighted the significant role parents play in habituating worship in children within this age group. Leading by example proved to be influential in motivating and encouraging children to engage in worship activities, such as prayer, recitation, and supplication. Consistent and continuous parental guidance in worship had a positive impact on shaping children's moral and spiritual character. Effective communication and a gentle approach from parents also contributed positively to worship habituation. Furthermore, the study emphasized the influence of the environment on children's worship activities, as a comfortable setting facilitated familiarity and regularity in daily worship practices.

Published: August 2023

WOFOST and InfoCrop crop growth simulation models were used to assess the impact of climate change on potato cultivars and to develop adaptation strategies for future climatic scenarios (2030, 2050 and 2080) under representative concentration pathways (RCP’s) 4.5 and 6.0 in Bihar. Potato cultivars belonging to late (Kufri Badshah), medium (Kufri Jyoti) and early (Kufri Pukhraj) maturity groups were selected. The simulated results revealed variations in potential productivity of potato under both RCP’s (4.5 & 6.0) with baseline yields of 43.80  t ha-1 for Kufri Badshah, 41.5  t ha-1 for Kufri Jyoti and 43.6  t ha-1 for Kufri Pukhraj. Under RCP 4.5, elevated concentration of CO2 projected to increase the productivity of Kufri Badshah, Kufri Jyoti, and Kufri Pukhraj. However, a decline in yield is expected when individual effect of temperature is considered for future climatic scenarios (2030, 2050 & 2080). However, these yield loss is negated when combined effect of CO2 and temperature is considered by 1.3, 0.7 and 0.3 % in 2030, by -0.4, -1.1 and -2.2 % in 2050 and by 3.5, 4.4 and 5.9 % in 2080, respectively. Likewise, for RCP 6.0, combined effect of CO2 and temperature offset the yield losses by 2.6, 2.4 and 2.3% in 2030, 2.1, 1.7 and 1.1 in 2050 and 1.1, -0.1 and -1.8 in 2080. In addition, selection of suitable cultivars, shifting the date of planting and proper irrigation and nitrogen management practices can counterbalance the yield losses.
Climate change and agricultural ecosystem: Challenges and microbial interventions for mitigation
Authors: VYAS R. V. , JHALA Y. K.
Published: August 2023

Climate change has an impact on agricultural activity because of its direct reliance on climate change. There are two types of relationships between agriculture and climate change, and they are extremely important, particularly for developing and underdeveloped or low-income countries, which rely heavily on agriculture for subsistence and lack adaptation infrastructure when compared to developed countries. Geographically high-latitude places that already have low temperatures might benefit from a prolonged growing season when temperatures rise due to climate change. GHG emissions such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane have an impact on agricultural lands. Gases have an impact on climate through emitting greenhouse gases. Emissions are mostly caused by tillage operations, fossil fuels, fertilized agricultural soils, and farm animal waste, and have a significant impact on the agriculture industry. Agriculture, on the other hand, might be a solution to climate change by lowering emissions and extensively implementing mitigation and adaptation measures. Best management approaches such as use of microbial inoculants to reduce fertilizer inputs, carbon sequestration and methane oxidation has potential to reduce greenhouse gases from agro-ecosystem.

Indeks Tata Kepolisian (ITK) merupakan alat untuk mengukur sejauh mana kinerja tata kelola kepolisian baik di level Mabes, Polda maupun Polres menggunakan prinsip-prinsip tata kelola pemerintahan yang baik. Pengukuran ITK ini telah dilaksanakan sejak tahun 2015 berdasarkan semangat untuk mewujudkan profesionalisme Polri yang bersih dan bebas korupsi, kolusi dan nepotisme. Pengukuran ini menerapkan prinsip tata kelola kepolisian yang baik: kompetensi, responsif, perilaku, transparansi, keadilan, efektivitas dan akuntabilitas. Penilaian persepsional dari pihak internal dan eksternal atas layanan Polres Klaten meliputi: SIM, SKCK, BPKB, tilang, sidik jari, dan pengaduan masyarakat dilakukan untuk mengetahui sejauh mana tingkat pelayanan, rawan pungutan liar, KKN dalam proses pengurusan administrasi. Dengan melibatkan total 98 responden yang terdiri dari 51 responden internal dan 47 responden eksternal, pengukuran ITK-O Polres Klaten dilakukan secara serempak di Aula Satya Haprabu Polres Klaten pada 26 Oktober 2022. Keseluruhan responden mengisi survei secara daring melalui smartphone masing-masing. Kendala teknis yang dihadapi lebih banyak disebabkan dari faktor aplikasi ITK yang kurang mobile-friendly sehingga keterbacaan teks kurang maksimal. Di sisi lain, karena sistem tidak dapat menyimpan hasil jawaban secara otomatis dari setiap pertanyaan yang dijawab, terpaksa beberapa responden mengulang pengisian dari awal karena salah pencet tombol ketika unggah identitas diri.

Place-Making through the Creation of Common Spaces in Lima’s Self-Built Settlements: El Ermitaño and Pampa de Cueva as Case Studies for a Regional Urbanization Strategy
Authors: Frank White , Samar Kenworthy , Cayon Lee
Published: August 2023

Lima has become the first Peruvian megacity with more than 10 million people, resulting from the migration waves from the countryside throughout the 20th century, which have also contributed to the diverse ethnic background of today’s city. The paper analyzes two neighborhoods located in the inter-district area of Northern Lima: Pampa de Cueva and El Ermitaño as paradigmatic cases of the city’s expansion through non-formal settlements during the 1960s. They represent a relevant case study because of their complex urbanization process, the presence of pre-Hispanic heritage, their location in vulnerable hillside areas in the fringe with a protected natural landscape, and their potential for sustainable local economic development. The article traces back the consolidation process of these self-built neighborhoods or barriadas within the context of Northern Lima as a new centrality for the metropolitan area. The analysis of urban form and mobility, heritage and environmental challenges, governance, and social integration leads to a proposal for neighborhood upgrading, capacity building with participatory processes, and a vision for future local development to decentralize the traditional metropolitan centers, which can be scaled to other peripheral neighborhoods.
Wspólnota protestu
Authors: Jezierski Jakub
Published: August 2023

W artykule poświęcam uwagę roli, jaką pełni humor w kształtowaniu komunikatów wizualnych protestu. Stawiam tezę, iż jedną z najskuteczniejszych broni protestu jest ostrze satyry i ironii. Żart zawarty w proteście jest w stanie dezaktywować perswazyjność propagandy i rozbrajać patetyczne narracje autorytatywnej władzy.
Odpowiadam między innymi na pytania: Jak ruchy wolnościowe lat 80. wpłynęły na współczesne zaangażowanie społeczne i polityczne Polaków? Za pomocą jakich komunikatów wizualnych wyrażamy dzisiaj swój protest? Czy protestując wypada się śmiać? Czy lepiej jest zachować poważną minę? Dlaczego śmiech zagościł na transparentach?
Współczesne społeczeństwa klasowe wplatają elementy zabaw karnawałowych do masowych wydarzeń w przestrzeni publicznej takich jak parady, marsze i protesty. Wizualny język protestu wspomagany humorem – mimo częstego operowania krańcowymi i hermetycznymi formami żartu – sprzyja i zachęca do partycypacji. Odkodowywanie ukrytych znaczeń dowcipów jest wyzwaniem, chętnie podejmowanym przez uczestników. Mechanizm nagrody zmienia partycypację obywatelską w grę. Dzięki uruchomieniu procesów kognitywnych, gracz może dostąpić „oświecenia” przynależnego wąskiej grupie rozumiejącej ukryty kod. Chęć zrozumienia i bycia dobrze poinformowanym skłania do wykorzystywania niekonwencjonalnych form komunikacji, weryfikacji źródeł informacji, a w efekcie może prowadzić do zmiany postawy. Większa skuteczność protestu operującego humorem bierze się stąd, że satyra jest czynnikiem rozbudzającym krytyczną refleksję w dużo większym stopniu niż patos.

Authors: Esteves Francisco António , Cardoso José , Leitão Sérgio , Pires Eduardo
Published: August 2023

Wastewater Treatment Plants are energy-intensive consumers. Thus, understanding their energy consumption to achieve efficient management can provide considerable environmental and economic benefits. The complexity of the treatment systems, the non-linearity, and the uncertainty and data availability limitations require the use of energy audits, according to a truly holistic view, as well as the use of alternative analysis models and decision support, more efficient than traditional modeling techniques.   The purpose of this review paper is to identify practical examples of the main lines of thought using Artificial Intelligence algorithms used to reduce the consumption of electrical energy in the wastewater sector over the last years. From the several reviewed papers, from different research platforms, it is concluded that, despite the success of AI in reducing energy consumption, in particular Artificial Neural Networks, there is room to improve energy efficiency consumption, identifying or quantifying inefficiency phenomena associated with data collection.

This paper examines the influence of board informal hierarchy on corporate financial restatement behavior. Taking enterprises listed in Shenzhen and Shanghai A-share markets as the research sample, the paper examines the influence of board informal hierarchy on corporate financial restatement behavior and also explores the regulating effects of three situational factors: board size, number of board meetings, board performance pressure. The results show that: The clearer the board informal hierarchy, the more it will inhibit the financial restatement behavior of firms. Meanwhile, board size negatively moderates the relationship between board informal hierarchy and financial restatement behavior; while the number of board meetings positively moderates the relationship between board informal hierarchy and financial restatement behavior; and board performance pressure negatively moderates the relationship between board informal hierarchy and corporate finance.
