Objective: This study was performed to investigate the effect of powdered ginger supplemented to the diet on blood lipid indices in individuals with moderate physical activity that are recommended only lifestyle intervention by Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation.

Methods: In this exploratory experiment, individuals were divided into 2 groups as ginger supplementation (n = 20) and control (n = 20). The ginger supplementation group received 1 ginger capsule (400 mg ginger extract, 80 mg gelatin) twice a day for a month. Blood lipid levels (total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and systolic blood pressure were measured, and Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation values were calculated.

Results: The systolic blood pressure and Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation values in the ginger supplementation group were decreased (P < .05). The systolic blood pressure values of the ginger supplementation group before and after the study were higher than the control group (P < .05). Systolic blood pressure values in both groups were decreased compared to previous levels. Before and after the study, the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation values of the ginger supplementation group were found to be lower than that of the control group (P < .05). The study showed that 85% of the ginger supplementation group remained in the category requiring a lifestyle change and possibly drug treatment, whereas 15% of the individuals moved to the category in which no intervention was required for lipid levels. However, 90% of the participants of the control group remained in the lifestyle change category.

Conclusion: The results of the current study implicate that consumption of ginger might be beneficial to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and further studies are needed to explore this effect in more detail.
Fahreddin er-Râzî’ye Göre Kelâmın Aklî Konuları İspatta Kullandığı Öncüller
Authors: Kaya Veysel
Published: September 2023

Kelâm disiplininde ispatın ne olduğuna dair bir açıklama, kendinden önceki gelenekleri metodoloji açısından bir değerlendirmeye tabi tutan Fahreddin er-Râzî tarafından gündeme getirilmiştir. Kitâbü’l-Erbâ‘în’in son bölümündeki sunuma göre kelâmın aklî konuları ispatta kullandığı üç temel öncül bulunmaktadır. Bunlar nefy-ispat, kemal-noksan ve vücup-imkân öncülleridir. Fahreddin er-Râzî nefy ve ispat öncülünü, tasavvur ve tasdik kavramlarıyla doğrudan ilişkili olarak inceler. Kemâl ve noksan öncülü, kemâl sıfatlarının Allah hakkında zorunlu olduğu, noksan sıfatlarının ise Allah’tan nefyedilmesi gerektiğini ortaya koyar. Vücup ve imkân öncülü ise akıl sahiplerinin akıllarının ulaştığı son noktadır. Râzî’nin felsefe-kelâm arasını birleştirme gayretleri, İbn Sînâ’nın açıklamaları çerçevesinde bu öncül bağlamında ortaya çıkmaktadır.
Bu çalışmada Râzî’nin el-Erba‘în eserinde özet olarak belirttiği öncüller, diğer eserlerinde önce çıkan bazı açıklamalar ve bağlamlar dikkate alınarak değerlendirilecek ve Râzî’nin bu öncülleri başlıca hangi kelâmî bağlamlarda kullandığı tespit edilmeye çalışılacaktır. Râzî’nin külliyatı çok geniş bir yelpazeyi kapsadığı için, İslam bilimlerine bütüncül bakış açısını sergilediği Mefâtîhü’l-Gayb’ındaki yorumlarına özel atıflarda bulunulacaktır. Çalışma konusu, Râzî'nin klasik kelâmın yöntemine getirdiği eleştirilerin bir somut örneğini sunması açısından, özellikle İslamî ilimler metodolojisi konusundaki araştırmalara bir katkı olarak değerlendirilebilir. Çalışmada sonuç olarak Râzî'nin kelâm eleştirisini sadece bir tarih okuması düzeyinde bırakmayarak, klasik kelâmı önermeler eşliğinde yapısal olarak incelediği görülmüştür. Râzî bu adımı, yazdığı tefsir ile tüm naklî ve aklî bilimleri ilahî vahye bağlayarak tamamlamıştır.

Com o golpe parlamentar no Paraguai (2012) e a consequente assunção de governos neoliberais em termos econômicos e conservadores em termos políticos e sociais, como os governos de Mauricio Macri na Argentina (2015-2019) e Michel Temer (2016-2018) no Brasil, passaram a predominar novas tendências no processo de integração regional do MERCOSUL. Essas características foram ampliadas com a posse presidencial de Mario Abdo Benítez (2018-2023) no Paraguai, Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022) no Brasil e Luis Lacalle Pou (2020-atual) no Uruguai. Isso levou a uma virada neoliberal no MERCOSUL e a um retorno às diretrizes do regionalismo aberto. Este livro apresenta, desde uma perspectiva interdisciplinar e multidimensional, as relações econômicas, políticas, socioculturais e territoriais dentro do MERCOSUL nos últimos anos e as incidências que o contexto internacional e as relações com outras nações e blocos tiveram no caso MERCOSUL. Especificamente, os conteúdos desta obra se concentram em quatro áreas de trabalho: economia, questão agrária, educação e relações internacionais, que são o núcleo duro do projeto de pesquisa que reúne pesquisadores e pesquisadoras dos países membros do espaço de integração.

O “Welfare State” é uma espécie de Estado que concede proteção social por meio de assistencialismo e intervencionismo, assegurando direitos sociais para população. Sobretudo, é considerável que o governo nesse tipo de Estado deve preservar a qualidade de vida da população e promover a igualdade formal e material. O presente artigo pretende fazer um paralelo com a covid-19, que é um problema de saúde social capaz de gerar problemas exorbitantes, ainda mais em razão da sua propagação de forma comunitária.
Influence of acidity on liquid–liquid phase transitions of mixed secondary organic aerosol (SOA) proxy–inorganic aerosol droplets

Published: September 2023

Abstract. The phase state and morphology of aerosol particles play a
critical role in determining their effect on climate. While aerosol acidity
has been identified as a key factor affecting multiphase chemistry and
phase transitions, the impact of acidity on the phase transition of
multicomponent aerosol particles has not been extensively studied in situ.
In this work, we employed aerosol optical tweezers (AOT) to probe the
impact of acidity on the phase transition behavior of levitated aerosol
particles. Our results revealed that higher acidity decreases the separation
relative humidity (SRH) of aerosol droplets mixed with ammonium sulfate (AS)
and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) proxy, such as 3-methylglutaric acid
(3-MGA), 1,2,6-hexanetriol (HEXT) and 2,5-hexanediol (HEXD) across aerosol
pH in atmospheric conditions. Phase separation of organic acids was more
sensitive to acidity compared to organic alcohols. We found the mixing
relative humidity (MRH) was consistently higher than the SRH in several
systems. Phase-separating systems, including 3-MGA / AS, HEXT / AS and HEXD / AS,
exhibited oxygen-to-carbon ratios (O:C) of 0.67, 0.50 and 0.33,
respectively. In contrast, liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) did not
occur in the high-O:C system of glycerol / AS, which had an O:C ratio of 1.00.
Additionally, the morphology of 42 out of the 46 aerosol particles that
underwent LLPS was observed to be a core–shell structure. Our findings provide a
comprehensive understanding of the pH-dependent LLPS in individual suspended
aerosol droplets and pave the way for future research on phase separation of
atmospheric aerosol particles.

Abstract. Soil pore water (SPW) chemistry can vary substantially across
multiple scales in Arctic permafrost landscapes. The magnitude of these
variations and their relationship to scale are critical considerations for
understanding current controls on geochemical cycling and for predicting
future changes. These aspects are especially important for Arctic change
modeling where accurate representation of sub-grid variability may be
necessary to predict watershed-scale behaviors. Our research goal is to
characterize intra- and inter-watershed soil water geochemical variations at
two contrasting locations in the Seward Peninsula of Alaska, USA. We then
attempt to identify the key factors controlling concentrations of important
pore water solutes in these systems. The SPW geochemistry of 18 locations
spanning two small Arctic catchments was examined for spatial variability
and its dominant environmental controls. The primary environmental controls
considered were vegetation, soil moisture and/or redox condition, water–soil
interactions and hydrologic transport, and mineral solubility. The sampling
locations varied in terms of vegetation type and canopy height, presence or
absence of near-surface permafrost, soil moisture, and hillslope position.
Vegetation was found to have a significant impact on SPW NO3-
concentrations, associated with the localized presence of nitrogen-fixing
alders and mineralization and nitrification of leaf litter from tall willow
shrubs. The elevated NO3- concentrations were, however, frequently
equipoised by increased microbial denitrification in regions with sufficient
moisture to support it. Vegetation also had an observable impact on soil-moisture-sensitive constituents, but the effect was less significant. The
redox conditions in both catchments were generally limited by Fe reduction,
seemingly well-buffered by a cache of amorphous Fe hydroxides, with the most
reducing conditions found at sampling locations with the highest soil
moisture content. Non-redox-sensitive cations were affected by a wide
variety of water–soil interactions that affect mineral solubility and
transport. Identification of the dominant controls on current SPW
hydrogeochemistry allows for qualitative prediction of future geochemical
trends in small Arctic catchments that are likely to experience warming and
permafrost thaw. As source areas for geochemical fluxes to the broader
Arctic hydrologic system, geochemical processes occurring in these
environments are particularly important to understand and predict with
regards to such environmental changes.
La influencia de las mujeres coleccionistas en la difusión internacional de las obras de Picasso
Authors: Ortiz Tello María
Published: September 2023

El presente artículo se sitúa dentro del marco de los estudios de transferencias culturales y circulación artística, donde los procesos de transmisión de las obras de arte son claves. Se analiza de qué forma se origina la circulación de cinco obras de Picasso a través de su préstamo expositivo, realizado, en este caso, por cinco mujeres coleccionistas (Mary Hoyt Wiborg, Elizabeth Fuller, Mary Lasker, Marie Harriman e Ingeborg Eichmann), demostrando así en qué medida estas intervinieron en la difusión de este conjunto de obras a través de un proceso de exposición sistemática a escala internacional. El estudio se centra en los procesos mediante los cuáles determinadas obras del artista malagueño adquirieron mayor visibilización a través de exposiciones temporales y gracias a la acción de estas coleccionistas. Estas actuaron como mediadores que interfirieron tanto en el proceso de divulgación como en el de significación de la propia obra, influyendo, a través de sus propias motivaciones, en su asimilación y recepción posterior.
Patológicos, enamorados y redimidos. Imágenes del artista en el cine de Wes Anderson
Authors: De la Prida Caballero Rubén
Published: September 2023

En su última película, La crónica francesa, Wes Anderson reúne el mayor número de artistas –de diferentes disciplinas– de toda su filmografía. Partiendo de aquel personaje que puede ser considerado no solo como paradigma de héroe sino también como protoartista andersoniano, Max Fischer, y de sus rasgos característicos, la presente contribución trata de trazar una taxonomía de los artistas en el cine del realizador tejano, distinguiendo sus diferentes tipos, sus propiedades y sus hibridaciones. Junto a aquellos “artistas de la palabra” que han sido más frecuentemente tematizados en la literatura académica sobre el autor hasta la fecha, el artículo repasa también los otros tipos recurrentes de artista presentes en el cine de Wes Anderson –plásticos y escénicos–, sus trastornos de personalidad predominantes, sus modelos de relación interpersonal y el modo en el que, a través de la generación de comunidades por medio de sus actos de creación –una característica que en Wes Anderson adquiere tintes autobiográficos– estos personajes, a pesar de sus rasgos problemáticos, consiguen conquistar su propia redención.
La construcción de la imagen romántica del artista: Antonio M.ª Esquivel, el pintor salvado
Authors: Pérez Sánchez Aránzazu
Published: September 2023

Durante el segundo tercio del convulso siglo XIX español, el artista sevillano Antonio M.ª Esquivel desarrolló su carrera pictórica en medio de múltiples dificultades que forjaron su carácter personal y profesional. Fiel al naciente liberalismo, el artista alcanzó la fama en la capital, donde fue uno de los pintores de referencia y participó activamente en el Liceo Artístico y Literario de Madrid, fundado por su amigo José Fernández de la Vega. Allí halló la solidaridad de sus compañeros artistas tras sufrir una enfermedad que le provocó temporalmente la afección más temida por un pintor, la ceguera. Sanado gracias a la colaboración de amigos artistas y admiradores, el pintor consagró desde entonces todos sus esfuerzos a la protección de las Bellas Artes y a agradecer con su trabajo los desvelos de todos aquellos que le auxiliaron en sus momentos de mayor dificultad, dejando como legado la creación de la Sociedad Protectora de las Bellas Artes. Su vida y su obra constituyeron un ejemplo de artista romántico objeto de biografías noveladas, modesto y orgulloso a la vez, responsable de la creación de su propia imagen ante sus contemporáneos y ante la posteridad.
“Sacarlo del mito y resituarlo en la historia”: propuestas de aproximación a la biografía Pablo Picasso
Authors: Martínez López Beatriz
Published: September 2023

Hace ya varios años se vienen desarrollando trabajos que desafían las lecturas canónicas de la imagen de Pablo Picasso. Pese a ello, los titulares publicados con motivo de la conmemoración de los cincuenta años de su fallecimiento legitiman, quizás de manera inconsciente, la consideración sobre la genialidad del malagueño. Esta convicción, todavía latente en el consciente colectivo, ha sido alimentada por un corpus literario en el que la distinción entre biografía y hagiografía resulta irreconocible. A diferencia de esta visión innata del temperamento de Picasso, teóricos como John Berger asumen que su carácter es resultado de una construcción históricamente determinada por sus circunstancias sociales. Así, y partiendo de la definición foucaultiana de genealogía, queremos demostrar hasta qué punto los relatos vitales sobre Picasso han sido condicionados por unas políticas culturales que enmascaran y neutralizan toda posibilidad crítica en la interpretación de su desarrollo vital. Desde este enfoque, proponemos una revisión biográfica del artista que en esencia es doble: por un lado, incidiremos en la posibilidad de emplear metodologías que, desde los estudios culturales, como los de la teórica Mieke Bal, defienden la necesidad del posicionamiento político de las prácticas artísticas como método para superar la indiferencia del espectador. Por otra parte, trasladaremos esta convicción al terreno literario y demostraremos que es posible construir nuevas propuestas biográficas que contribuyan a la superación de lo que autores como H. Marcuse definen como una narcosis generalizada. En concreto, tomaremos como paradigma la aproximación biográfica a Pablo Picasso desde la estética anarquista de André Rezsler. Ello permitirá plantear la posibilidad de crear nuevos relatos en los que la figura idealizada del artista deje paso a una interpretación más amplia, colectiva e incluyente de la realidad social en la que se desarrolló.

In this research, it is aimed to examine the data analysis aimed at understanding the perceptions of discriminatory attitudes and behaviors encountered by teachers in educational administration. This study was conducted in schools in Bağcılar district of Istanbul Province under the Ministry of National Education. The method of this qualitative study is case science (phenomenology) and the data were interpreted by descriptive analysis. The participants of the study consist of 16 teachers from different branches at kindergarten, elementary, middle and high school levels. In the findings obtained, it was concluded that discriminatory practices in schools undermine the teacher's sense of justice and merit, teachers take on a structure aimed at questioning their work ethics, and even experience an intense lack of motivation to want to leave school. According to the results obtained according to the gender distribution, it is observed that male teachers are discriminated more in schools where the managers are women. On the contrary, male administrators also show favor to female teachers in the opposite context. Especially in the education sector, it is very important for teachers to feel morale, motivation, work merit, a sense of equality in the sense of developing a sense of belonging to the institution. Based on these results, development can be achieved in areas such as sharing tasks fairly, having an objective point of view, and adopting the principle of equal distance in order to reduce discriminatory actions.

Published: September 2023

Inoceramid data were used to characterize the lower Maastrichtian strata in the Western Fore-Balkan (Bulgaria), based on the newly discovered Oslen Krivodol section. The upper part of the Kunino Formation yielded a well-defined inoceramid-bearing level. A number of characteristic taxa make up the inoceramid assemblage, including Cataceramus palliseri (Douglas, 1942), C. subcircularis (Meek, 1876), C. barabini (Morton, 1834), C. glendivensis Walaszczyk, Cobban and Harries, 2001 and Endocostea typica Whitfield, 1880. Additionally, Trochoceramus spp. and “Inoceramus” sp. were also found. It is, therefore, assumed that both the Endocostea typica Zone and an undetermined (probably lower) part of the Trochoceramus radiosus inoceramid Zone are present in the section. It is also assumed that there is a mixing of faunas due to low sedimentation rates and local submarine washout.

Opisthorchis felineus, вызванный трематодой семейства Opisthorchiidae, является  зоонозом плотоядных и людей. Промежуточными хозяевами и источниками заражения О.felineus являются рыбы семейства карповых. Метацеркарии О.felineus были обнаружены в мышцах всех изученных карповых видов рыб, из которых наиболее инвазированными были L.idus (распространенность заражения 92,0%). Химический состав мясо пораженных рыб по сравнению с контрольной увеличился на 4,3%, а содержание влаги уменьшилось на 3,0% соответственно. У всех рыб, пораженных описторхозом, было меньше жира и золы, чем в контрольной группы. В мясе рыбы с высоким содержанием ИЭ (более 51 метацеркарии) количество мезофильных аэробных и факультативно-анаэробных микроорганизмов превышало допустимый уровень по техническому регламенту. Содержание солей тяжелых металлов в рыбе не превышало допустимого уровня. По сравнению с непораженной рыбой, в составе мышц пораженной рыбы наблюдается снижение содержания железа на 1,7%, цинка на 12,8%, никеля на 5,5%, меди на 12,5%, кобальта на 43,8%, марганца на 59%, свинца на 37,3%. Показатели кадмия и ртути были одинаковым в обеих группах образцов. Процессы замораживания, термическая обработка, обеспечивают 100% уничтожение описторхидозов у зараженной рыбы. Засолка рыбы без замораживания (методом копчения) в течение 21 суток наблюдения не приводит к обезжараживанию O.felineus.
КАЧЕСТВО МЯСНОГО СЫРЬЯ ПРИ ВЫРАЩИВАНИИ ЖИВОТНЫХ В УСЛОВИЯХ РАДИАЦИОННОГО ЗАРАЖЕНИЯ СЕМИПАЛАТИНСКОГО ПОЛИГОНА

Published: September 2023

Радионуклидное загрязнение, вследствие техногенных катастроф и испытаний ядерного оружия, увеличивает риски загрязнения продуктов питания, полученных при выращивании животных на таких территориях. Поэтому целью работы было проведение исследования влияния радиационного загрязнения на качество мясного сырья, полученного от животных, выращенных как непосредственно на территории Семипалатинского ядерного полигона, так и районов, прилегающих к нему. Исследования проводили в августе-сентябре 2022 года в первой зоне радиационного загрязнения в хозяйствах Абайского района с. Саржал, зимовка Сарапан и Жанан и второй зоны – Бескарагайского района – с. Боден, с. Долон и с. Мостик. Независимо от содержания радионуклидов в растениях, в местах выращивания животных, их количество в мясе было незначительным. Наибольшее количество изотопа 137Cs было выделено из мясного сырья от животных из зимовья Жадан. Количество ионов тяжелых металлов в мясном сырье не превышало допустимых концентраций, независимо от места выращивания животных. Физико-химические и биохимические показатели мяса, несмотря на хорошие органолептические показатели, имели следы деструктивного разложения белков и заниженные показатели питательных веществ.

У исследуемых животных   выявлен генетический полиморфизм и были идентифицированы три генетических варианта: AA, AT и TT, распространенность   которых  составила 20,0%, 10,0% и 70,0%, соответственно. Отмечается избыточная встречаемость гомозиготного генотипа  TT (+23,0) по сравнению с генетическими вариантами АА и AT.  Установлены высокая частота аллели T (0,87) и нарушение генного равновесия по локусу гена GDF9. В исследуемую группу были включены коровы голштинской породы 2-3 лактации, с молочной продуктивностью 7500-8000 кг молока за лактацию с разными показателями воспроизводительной функции: коровы плодотворно осемененные через  45-60 дней (n=30),  61-90 дней (n=30), 91-120 дней (n=30), более 121 дней (n=30) после отела. Выявлено, что во всех группах преобладают коровы  с  гомозиготным TT генотипом, методом ДНК тестирования были идентифицированы всего 4 коровы с АА генотипом, которые плодотворно осеменялись в течение 45-90 дней после отела. Коровы с гетерозиготным AT генотипом были распределены во всех четырех группа равномерно, 6,67%, 10,0%, 13,33% и 10,0%, что свидетельствует об отсутствии корреляции с гетерозиготным генотипом животных и с показателями воспроизводительной способности. Таким образом, для исследуемой группы животных желательным генотипом является, носители  гомозиготного АА генотипа.

На современном уровне сельскохозяйственного производства, предъявляющего очень высокие требования к сортам, темпам их выведения и внедрения в производство, развитие селекции и ее оптимизация во многом лимитируются недостаточной разработанностью ее генетических основ, особенно для количественных признаков, к которым относится большинство хозяйственно-ценных признаков хлопчатника.  

 Качество волокна  является одним из важнейших хозяйственно - ценных признаков хлопчатника. Главные технологические показатели качества волокна – прочность одиночного волокна и тонина (метрический номер), определяющие разрывную длину.

Новые сорта рекомендуются для возделывания в орошаемой зоне со средней засоленностью почвы.  Например, хлопкосеющие хозяйства отмечают сорта М-4005, М-4007, М-4011, Атакент-2010, Мактаарал-5027. Эти устойчивые к засоленности почвы, быстро адаптирующиеся сорта отличаются высоким качеством волокна, коротким вегетационным периодом, а в семенах содержится почти 20 процентов масла. Средняя урожайность с гектара составляет 38-40 центнеров, а на высоком агрофоне урожайность достигает в пределах 50-55 ц/га.

Генофонд хлопчатника является бесценным богатством для селекции и агропромышленного комплекса в целом. Исследования по генофонду хлопчатника в настоящее время ведутся в направлении поддержания их жизнеспособности. Эффективное использование генофонда хлопчатника зависит от масштаба и глубины оценки его качества, со стратегическими задачами хлопководства и уровнем организации и эффективности селекционного процесса. Сорта хлопчатника, занимающие площади, выведены на основе гибридизации сортов и подвидов Y. Hirsutum L., что объединяет их потенциал устойчивос
Reflections of the Human Psyche: An Intricate Analysis of Motivation, Behavior, and Societal Echoes in Ted Elemeforo's The Fountain of Betrayal
Authors: Oburumu Agbeye
Published: September 2023

This research presents a comprehensive analysis of human motivation, behaviour, and actions within the context of Ted Elemeforo's novel, The Fountain of Betrayal. Employing a backdrop of social realism, the essay explores how literature draws inspiration from society and acquires functional significance. The study highlights the role of literature in mirroring societal aspects, with characters embodying various forms of consciousness pertaining to the significance of distinctions. By delving into the realm of subconscious mental factors influencing character behaviour, this research employs Maslow's psychological motivation theory of needs as a theoretical framework. The selected novel's characters are intricately examined as integral components of society, revealing how diverse types and levels of needs profoundly impact their decision-making processes. Ultimately, this investigation uncovers the concealed mens rea (mental component) underlying the actus reus (physical component) of human actions, leading to a comprehensive comprehension of the intricacies of human motivation. This study contributes to a broader understanding of human behaviour and the intricate interplay between societal influences and individual actions.

In sharp contrast to the relevant research on positive psychological quality and academic performance in basic education, there is almost no relevant research in higher education in China. In order to explore the relationship between positive psychological quality and their academic performances of college students, and furthermore, whether positive psychological quality can affect their performances through the influence of academic self-efficacy and learning engagement, we conducted survey research among medical students in southwest and northeast China. We found that there are differences in positive psychological quality, academic self-efficacy, academic engagement and academic performance among students of different genders and grades. Girls' academic performance and engagement are higher than boys. The positive psychological quality of higher grades is better than that of lower grades. Positive psychological quality can affect academic performance alone, and the effect is more obvious when it is combined with academic self-efficacy. The positive psychological quality and academic self-efficacy can effectively affect learning engagement, which also can affect academic performance. However, learning engagement and academic self-efficacy have no mediating effect on positive psychological quality and academic performance.

As a capital market investment, stocks have risks that must be managed. Therefore, investors should consider the returns and risks of investment products. This study aims to estimate the risk of insurance companies' loss when investing. The method used to estimate the level of risk is Value at Risk (VaR) based on Extreme Value Theory (EVT). The data used is secondary data in the form of daily stock closing prices from two insurance companies, AXA General Insurance and BRI Insurance, from January 2016 to January 2022. The data were used to estimate the risk value according to the EVT principle. As a result, Insurance AXA General Insurance, with 5.91% liquidity, has the lowest VaR value with a 99% confidence level, while BRI Insurance has 5.04%. We concluded from these results that AXA General Insurance has a lower investment risk. It means that each company has a different risk value. Therefore, investors should know these risk factors when choosing a company.
Ranking fuzzy numbers by volume of solid of revolution of membership function about axis of support
Authors: Sasikala P. N. V. L. , Rao P. Phani Bushan
Published: September 2023

It is admissible that fuzzy numbers (FNs) are apt for representing imprecise or vague data in real-world problems. While using FNs in decision-making problems, selecting the best alternative among available alternatives is challenging, and therefore, ranking FNs is essential. We can find different studies in the literature, but to our knowledge, no one attempted to rank FNs using the concept of volume. This paper proposes a new method for ranking generalized fuzzy numbers (GFNs) using the volume of the solid obtained by revolving its membership function (MF) about the x-axis. We calculate the volumes of positive and negative sides along with the centroid of a generalized fuzzy number(GFN) to define the fuzzy number(FN) score. This score represents the defuzzified value of FN, is used to select the best alternative, and overcomes the limitations in some existing methods like ranking FNs having the same centroid, crisp numbers, symmetric fuzzy numbers, and FNs with the same core.

Logistics’ significance in international trade is being noted more and more frequently. This study was conducted to analyze the influence of logistics performance on trade volume between the Republic of Korea (ROK) and member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in order to identify the areas of the Indonesian logistics industry that require improvement to increase trade volume between Indonesia and the ROK. This study focuses on Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines, which are actively responding to the reconfiguration of the global value chain (GVC). The report also includes Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, which can be viewed as potential GVC competitors of Indonesia due to their considerable manufacturing growth potential. Based on the gravity model, which explains trade volume between regions, this study looked into the effect of the logistics performance index (LPI) of these ASEAN nations on trade with the ROK by analyzing panel data. This study utilized previously published (secondary) data to derive new outcomes. Most of the statistical data were extracted from the World Bank database, IHS Markit, and Euromonitor. The results show that an improvement of LPI can lead to growth in the trade volume between ROK and ASEAN Nations including Indonesia. The study’s insights suggest which logistical areas Indonesia should focus on developing in order to boost trade with ROK and obtain a competitive edge in the GVC reconfiguration.

Authors: Clegg Jennifer , Souza Clarissa , Brame Bailey
Published: September 2023

Otitis externa (OE) is a common disease in dogs, and topical medications are the preferred treatment. Compounded solutions of enrofloxacin are commonly used in practice to treat bacterial OE; however, the tolerability of different concentrations of this antibiotic in the ear canals of dogs has not been evaluated. The objective of this study is to determine if a higher concentration of enrofloxacin applied to the external ear canal is clinically tolerated in dogs with healthy ears. Sixteen client-owned dogs with bilateral healthy ears and no previous history of OE were enrolled. Injectable enrofloxacin 2.27% diluted with sterile sodium chloride in 1:1 (11.35 mg/mL) and 2:1 (15 mg/mL) ratios were applied into the dogs’ right and left ears, respectively, q 12 hr for 14 days. Based on video otoscopic examination, clinical score for canine OE (OTIS3) results before application were ≤1 for all dogs. During the study and at the conclusion, all scores remained ≤2, which is considered normal. No cytologic inflammatory cells were seen in any of the dogs’ ears throughout the study. Different concentrations of enrofloxacin solution applied topically were well tolerated by dogs with healthy ears and can be considered for the treatment of dogs with bacterial OE.

Published: September 2023

A 4 mo old male goldendoodle puppy was evaluated for chronic hematochezia with a history of recurrent rectal prolapse and tenesmus. A colo-colonic intussusception was diagnosed via abdominal imaging. Surgery was elected to reduce the intussusception, wherein a colonic mass was discovered. Colonic resection and anastomosis was performed, and the tissue were submitted for histopathological examination. The puppy was diagnosed with colonic hamartomatous ganglioneuromatosis based on the presence of markedly hyperplastic submucosal and myenteric plexi with infiltration and expansion of the mucosa and submucosa by Schwann cells and neuronal cell bodies. Ganglioneuromatosis is a rarely reported entity in the veterinary literature, and limited clinical follow up data is available for described cases. In humans, ganglioneuromatosis is associated with a PTEN genetic mutation, which confers increased susceptibility to the development of neoplasia of endocrine organs. Approximately 1 yr after the operation, this puppy appeared clinically normal with no abnormalities on repeated imaging. This case report describes the clinical presentation, surgical treatment, and histologic features of colonic hamartomatous ganglioneuromatosis with 1 yr postoperative clinical follow up data in a dog. Although uncommon, ganglioneuromatosis should be considered as a differential diagnosis list as a cause of gastrointestinal masses in puppies and young dogs.
СТРУКТУРНЫЕ ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ ПОВЕРХНОСТНЫХ СЛОЕВ ФРИКЦИОННЫХ МАТЕРИАЛОВ ПРИ ВЫСОКОТЕМПЕРАТУРНОМ ТРЕНИИ

Проведены экспериментальные исследования фрикционных материалов с функ¬циональными свойствами по ГОСТ РИСО 7881-94. Показано, что средний коэффи¬¬ци¬ент трения материалов с повышением температуры увеличивается и имеет мак¬симальное значение при температурах 230...270 0С после 5...7 торможений. С увели¬чением температуры в интервале 300...360 0С коэффициент трения уменьша¬ется до минимального значения после 10...13 торможений. При повышении поверхност¬ной температуры выше 4000С наблюдается повторное увеличение коэффициента трения. Зависимость коэффициента трения фрикционных материалов от поверх¬ностной температуры выражается кривой, имеющей зону снижения в интервале 220…360 0С с резким переходом от сравнительно высокого трения до уровня, соот¬ветствующего трению при смазке. По рентгеновским дифрактограммам поверх¬ностей фрикционных материалов типа Бастенит-10 до процедуры трения наблю¬даются основные дифрак¬ционные рефлексы BaSO4, TiO2, SiO2 и углерода, а также текстура вдоль 002 кристаллографического направления углерода.
После трения заметны значительная ориентация по кристаллографическому направлению 002 и структурные изменения поверхности: графитизация поверхности, некоторое cнижение интенсивности рентгеновских дифракционных рефлексов на дифрактограммах образцов после трения, а также появление новых дифракционных рефлексов. Дифрактометрические исследования показали, что при высокотем¬пера¬турном трении (300...360 0С) поверхностных слоёв образцов материала с функцио¬нальными свойствами происходит графитизация поверхности в режиме интенсив¬ного изнашивания в поверхностных слоях до разрушения и образования продуктов износа. Установлено, что они являются постоянно действующими факторами и меняют свойства поверхностных слоев фрикционных материалов с функцио¬наль¬ными свойствами.
