Musings on the Metaverse and on how the Internet of Digital Reality Encompasses Future Developments of the Internet
Authors: Wersényi György
Published: February 2023

Internet of Digital Reality (IoD) is a concept that encompasses various aspects of the next level of communication between digital cognitive entities. Extending the concept of IoT and IoE, IoD includes all kinds of entities interacting in virtual reality, focusing not only on the technology, physical and logical networks, but also on cognitive aspects and human factors. The Metaverse – as a key element of IoD – was introduced and has lately been re-vitalized as a kind of vision for the future of the Internet, especially focusing on social media, where users interact via their avatars in a fully immersive VR scenario. In this paper, I nevertheless argue that IoD is more than a “VR Facebook”, and that although the Metaverse can offer a new kind of experience, it isn’t free from drawbacks and valid criticisms.
Targeting Cancer Metabolism to Improve Outcomes with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
Authors: Fatima Zainab , Abonofal Abdulrahman , Stephen Bettzy
Published: February 2023

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment paradigm of several cancers. However, not all patients respond to treatment. Tumor cells reprogram metabolic pathways to facilitate growth and proliferation. This shift in metabolic pathways creates fierce competition with immune cells for nutrients in the tumor microenvironment and generates by-products harmful for immune cell differentiation and growth. In this review, we discuss these metabolic alterations and the current therapeutic strategies to mitigate these alterations to metabolic pathways that can be used in combination with checkpoint blockade to offer a new path forward in cancer management.
Power Flow Optimization of a Hybrid Energy System with Salp Swarm Algorithm
Authors: P. Ebby Darney
Published: February 2023

Electric energy has become more essential in the recent year for all human activities. Therefore the demand for electricity is increasing to an extreme. The non-conventional energy generation methods are attracting the energy suppliers as its design and implementation is comparatively simple than the conventional energy generation. However, the non-conventional energy sources are widely dependent to the nature. Hence the power supply regularity has become a questionable one for non-conventional energy systems. The design of hybrid power system allows addressing this issue by connecting more than one non-conventional energy system together for making a reliable power supply. To regulate the power supply generation on connecting more than system several optimization algorithms were implemented in the present hybrid energy systems. The proposed work aims to study the performances of the hybrid energy system connected with 3KW wind power generation with each 1KW power generation with solar system and battery backup of using salp swarm optimization algorithm. The experimental work is also extended to prove the efficiency of the proposed algorithm with the traditional particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithms.

Published: February 2023

Indonesia shows a relatively high prevalence of stunting, which was 27,67% in 2019 at the national level. Stunting or short stature in early childhood is a social health problem that must be addressed. The definition of stunting is that the height index according to age (TB/U) is less than minus two standard deviations (<-2 SD) compared to the growth standards of toddlers or having a height that is less than it should be achieved at a certain age. The occurrence of stunting begins in the first 1000 days of life (0–23 months) and continues until the age of 5 years. In children under the age of 5 years, stunting can cause impaired physical development, inhibition of mental growth, late motor development, and long-term effects on cognitive development until adulthood. Stunting can be prevented early, therefore the service team took the initiative to educate GEMES (Community Movement to Prevent Stunting) at Posyandu Al-Munawaroh, Sungai Landai Village, Mestong District, Muaro Jambi Regency. The method of service carried out is the provision of material on the meaning of 1000 HPK and an explanation of the causes, impacts, and prevention of stunting. Methods of implementing activities include planning, monitoring, and evaluation. The result of this service was an increase in the knowledge of mothers who had toddlers about the education provided related to GEMES from 56.3% (before being given education) to 88.8% (after education).

Menstruation is still a taboo subject to be discussed by people in several parts of Indonesia. The Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey in 2017 indicated that 1 in 5 young women had never discussed menstruation with adults before experiencing menarche. In fact, cleanliness and maintenance of reproductive organs during menstruation is very important to avoid various menstrual problems. The purpose of this community service is so that young women are able to understand how to fulfill the health of their reproductive organs. This activity is oriented towards 30 young women of SMP Negeri 2 Siblah Krueng, Bireuen Regency. The methods used in providing menstrual education are lectures, material presentations, leaflet distribution, and videos. Evaluation of this activity is by holding a discussion group during the activity. The results obtained from community service indicate that there is a clear understanding of female students, which can be seen in the evaluation stage of menstrual education counseling. Young women were very enthusiastic during the discussion by actively providing responses and questions. The counseling methods and media used in this community service can effectively increase young women's understanding of menstrual health. The school will disseminate information about menstrual health not only for young women but also for young men, so that menstrual health is no longer taboo and can be discussed openly for certain purposes.

The achievement of exclusive breastfeeding in Jambi province in 2020 reached 59.9%. This number has not met the target of exclusive breastfeeding set nationally by the government, which is 80% of the number of babies in Indonesia. One of the contributing factors is the less breast milk syndrome. Insufficient breastfeeding syndrome can be treated with improvements in lactation management and consuming food sources that can affect the work of the hormone prolactin in producing breast milk. Food sources based on local wisdom that have been extensively studied for their effect on breast milk production include katuk leaves, moringa leaf extract, papaya leaves and fruit, banana heart, and mung bean extract. The purpose of carrying out this educational activity is a change in knowledge and a healthier attitude. The education carried out targets an increase in the knowledge and attitudes of the education participants with the output in the form of educational media, activity results reports and journal publications. Community Service Activities will be held on July 30 2022 starting with an opening (introduction, time contract, explanation of objectives and materials to be provided and distribution of pre-test questionnaires), followed by educating participants about local foods that can increase breast milk production and ending with closing ( distribution of leaflets, distribution of post-test questionnaires, and closing greetings). This activity was attended by approximately 15 participants at PMB Yustati Ambarita. The results of the evaluation during the educational process were that the participants seemed enthusiastic about the counseling material, the participants listened to the counseling carefully and the participants asked questions related to the material that was not clear. The results of the analysis of the pre and post test questionnaires on 10 participants, there was an increase in the participants' knowledge and attitudes from before the educational activity and after the educational activity.

True transition to practice: a role-reversal simulation
Authors: Preti Beatrice , Sanatani Michael
Published: February 2023

Implication Statement
This article explores a direct-observation simulation swapping resident and consultant roles as a measure to assess competence during the final “transition to practice” phase of residency. As indicated by the Royal College, assessment of competency in this stage should include direct observation; however, this is challenging to implement, both from the perspective of a busy clinical environment, but also logistically, as a final-stage resident is still a learner in a consultant clinic. Our suggested approach allows for both real-world experience for the resident as well as direct observation and assessment by the consultant, thus providing the resident with targeted, actionable feedback, as well as ensuring the final-stage resident is competent for practice.

Anticoagulation management: an interdisciplinary curriculum for family medicine residents
Authors: Nijjar Jaspreet , Marr Patricia , Toubassi Diana , Kwan Debbie , Papoushek Christine
Published: February 2023

Implication Statement
Anticoagulants are high-risk medications with the potential to cause significant patient harm if inappropriately managed. Medical trainees and practicing physicians often report inadequate education and uncertainty in decision-making related to anticoagulation therapy. To address this gap, an interdisciplinary Anticoagulation Management Training Program was developed for family medicine residents at the Toronto Western Family Health Team. Evaluation data demonstrated both improved knowledge and confidence in prescribing, monitoring, and adjusting anticoagulation therapy. This suggests that similar dedicated curricula be considered in other family medicine programs in order to optimize patient safety by enhancing the knowledge and self-efficacy of future practising physicians.
Color variations of Pulsatilla pratensis (L.) Mill flowers on the territories of the NNP «Podilski Tovtry»
Authors: Horbniak-Yulina Lesya , Sarakhman Ivanna
Published: February 2023

The population of Pulsatilla pratensis with an atypical «red» color of the flower, was studied in the territory of the «Podilski Tovtry» national nature park, in the Tract of «Kobylka». The possible systematic position of the discovered plants and their area of distribution were analyzed. The localities are described, the characteristics of the ecological-coenotic conditions of the place of growth are given, and the biological features of the studied species are presented. Geobotanical descriptions were carried out in the «Kobylka» in the territory of the «Podilski Tovtry» national nature park. Selected biotopes and groupings from the Green Book of Ukraine for Pulsatilla pratensis. Physico-geographic features of the growing area of the studied species are characterized. It has been established that the genetic factor is dominant in the creation of new color variations of the Pulsatilla pratensis flower. This hypothesis contains confirmation in morphometric differentiations between representatives of this species. The reason for the color change to red is genetic mutations of the Pulsatilla pratensis plant. It is proposed to carry out detailed genetic analyzes for the studied species. Based on the study of literary sources and our own research, we believe that Pulsatilla pratensis can have flowers of both purple and its shades, as well as red, which will be a diagnostic feature of the species. The results of statistical processing of the morphometric indicators of Pulsatilla pratensis with red and purple color, which were evicted within the «Podilski Tovtry» national nature park, are highlighted. Differences between flowers that have a red color in comparison with representatives of the purple-colored species are found and described. Trends toward the disappearance of red-flowered Pulsatilla pratensis plants have been identified. The reasons for their disappearance were established and biotechnical measures for their preservation were developed. The anthropogenic factor in the studied locality is low. For effective generative reproduction, it is necessary to determine the presence of factors of natural influence.
A contribution to the spider fauna of the Dnister Canyon NNP and its environs
Authors: Hirna Anna
Published: February 2023

The research on the spider fauna of the Dnister Canyon National Nature Park, which is located on the territory of the Chortkiv district of the Ternopil oblast (Ukraine), is presented. The study area lies within the deciduous forest zone in the region of Roztochia-Opillian hill ridges and the West Podolian upland region. The history of the study of the spider fauna in the region is analyzed, including the one related to the works of famous naturalists of the 19th century: A. Wierzejski, M. Łomnicki, L. Wajgiel, M. Nowicki, and L. Koch. It was established that most of the clusters of the National Nature Park were not covered by the research, and its faunal list includes only about 85 spider species, and even then, a significant part of them was collected on the outskirts of the protected area. During the several-day expeditions in 2000 and 2016, 93 species belonging to 20 families were found. The species-rich families were Linyphiidae (15 species; 16.1% of species diversity), Araneidae (12 species; 12.9%), Lycosidae, Theridiidae, and Thomisidae (11 species each; 11.8%). Information on the distribution in the world and in Ukraine of two rare and little-known species of spiders, namely Tegenaria campestris (C. L. Koch, 1834) and Harpactea saeva (Herman, 1879), which were found in a rotten log in an oak-hornbeam forest, is given. Taking into account the literature-derided data, the fauna of the park currently includes 135 spider species from 21 families. During the research, 42 species of spiders were not confirmed. First of all, this is due to the very short period of expeditions and the lack of stationary study plots, and therefore of materials from pitfall traps or seasonal from spring to autumn collections. In particular, no tarantula (Lycosa singoriensis) was found. This species was typical and widespread in Podolia at the end of the 19th century, however, according to a survey of local residents, it is now very rare, and its records on the territory of the National nature park need confirmation. To supplement the fauna and understand the features of its formation in the region, further comprehensive research of zonal forests and steppe areas on the slopes of river canyons is necessary.

Some results of about twenty-year investigations upon the Carabidae fauna in the western regions of Ukraine, such as West Polissia, western Volyn-Podillya and Ukrainian Carpathians, are presented. There are 6 Carabidae species found certainly (confirmed) for the first time in Ukraine: Trechus rivularis, Bembidion transsylvanicum, Agonum hypocrita, A. scitulum, Amara pulpani, Cymindis vaporariorum. Another 5 ones are found for the first time in the western regions: Tachys fulvicollis, Pogonus luridipennis, Laemostenus venustus, Platynus longiventris, Badister collaris. The finds of remainder 33 species are interesting in biogeographical or ecological senses as well as it has to complement data concerning distribution and habitats of these mostly rare or local taxa in the investigated area: Leistus baenningeri, Nebria livida, Calosoma sycophanta, Carabus clathratus, C. menetriesi, C. nemoralis, C. intricatus, Dyschirius thoracicus, Miscodera arctica, Duvalius roubali, D. ruthenus, Trechus amplicollis, Bembidion latiplaga, B. bruxellense, B. humerale, B. schueppelii, Agonum antennarium, Olisthopus sturmii, Amara makolskii, A. quenseli, Harpalus solitaris, Ophonus rupicola, O. subsinuatus, Parophonus maculicornis, Callistus lunatus, Chlaenius kindermanni, Oodes gracilis, Licinus cassideus, Masoreus wetterhallii, Lebia marginata, Philorhizus quadrisignatus, Lionychus quadrillum, Brachinus explodens. Of them, there are unexpected finds of taxa in the remoted from its main distribution range locations or in improper habitats, both with second finds of very rare species after the long time interval in the same or adjacent locations where they were known 100-150 years ago, deverse special attention. Also some new finds are conditioned by previously insufficient data because of taxonomical discussions or difficult identification: Laemostenus tichyi, Agonum hypocrita, Amara makolskii, Chlaenius kindermanni. In general, the results show that even in such relatively well-known faunistically area, as western Ukraine, there are new entomological finds becoming regularly, and these finds often fallout from conventional biogeographical or ecological context. This is an evidence for possibilities of further research as well as requirements of complex ecosystem-biogeographical approaches to research insect diversity.

The contribution of researchers in the study of the fungal biodiversion of the Park is noted. 1.01.2022 List of fungi of the Park counts 1214 species, of which 23 species are included in the Red Book of Ukraine. The information about in situ, ex situ and re situ methods are represented. In situ method aims the preservation of fungi and their localities. Ex situ method is expressed by introduction into artificial culture of fungi and maintenance of viability of fungal mycelium in collections of pure cultures. Re situ method is expressed by reproduction of aboriginal strains species of fungi in their natural conditions, involving in situ and ex situ practice. The environmental effect of using in situ, ex situ and re situ measures on the territory of Hutsulshchyna National Park is described. The development of growing methods for rare species of fungi in laboratory conditions is pointed. Reducing the threat of extinction of rare fungi due to re-situ technology and systematic fruiting of fungi at the mycological reproductive areas is explained. Certain legal aspects of protection of fungi and mushroom-like organisms are described within the "Program of protection, preservation and reproduction of rare species of fungi", approved by the Scientific and Technical Council of NNP "Hutsulshchyna". The question of creating the protection zones for rare species of fungi is outlined. The collections of macromycetes of Hutsulshchyna National Park are briefly described. The collection of pure cultures numbers 7 species of 13 strains, the collection of herbarium and wet preparations numbers 175 specimens. The important scientific and educational role of the collections is noted, the main purpose of their further operation is marked, as well as the methods and results of popularization of scientific researches among children, youth and adults. The connection of scientific achievements with the creation of a favorable economic climate for the community is indicated. Probably positive results of introduction of new recreational services - fungi therapy routes and commercial cultivation of new species of edible, rare, pharmaceutically popular species of fungi are marked.
Localization of hibernation sites and winter activity of Nyctalus noctula (Chiroptera) in urban environment (Lviv)
Authors: Bashta Andriy-Taras
Published: February 2023

Winter activity of N. noctula in the urban environment was investigated in the city of Lviv (Ukraine). The studies were performed using an ultrasonic detector and visual observations. Totally 27 wintering shelters were found, mostly located in narrow gaps between block houses (50%), as well as behind decor slabs (4.1%), in wall cavities (4.1%), on balconies (12.5%). No preferences were found in the altitudinal choice of shelter location and the house walls of a particular exhibition were not found/ A positive correlation between the intensity of relative flight activity of bats and the average daily temperature was revealed. No flight of bats was recorded below –4°C, although vocal activity in shelters was recorded at outdoor temperatures of about –15°C. It is assumed that the choice of shelters depends mainly on the general availability of shelter and their microclimatic characteristics. There is a tendency to further shift the wintering zone of N. noctula in the northern direction and increase the scale of its wintering in the urban landscape.

The activity of binary tungsten-vanadium oxide catalysts in the reaction of ethanol oxidation was studied in this work. Ethylene and acetic acid have been found to be the main products of the vapor-phase oxidation of ethanol on tungsten-vanadium oxide catalysts. Depending on the reaction temperature, acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide are also formed in significant quantities. It is shown that acetic acid is the main product of ethanol oxidation at low reaction temperatures, while ethylene is the main product at high temperatures. The influence of the composition of binary tungsten-vanadium oxide catalysts on their activity in the ethanol oxidation reaction has been studied. The studies performed have shown that with an increase in the atomic ratio of tungsten to vanadium, the yield of acetic acid decreases, while the yields of acetaldehyde and ethylene increase. X-ray diffraction studies of binary vanadium-containing catalysts have been carried out. It has been established that three phases are formed in the W-V-O system: two modifications of WO3 and one V2O5. The degrees of crystallinity of the studied catalysts were also calculated. The degrees of crystallinity and activity of binary tungsten-vanadium oxide catalysts in the ethanol oxidation reaction are compared. It has been established that an increase in the degree of crystallinity of the catalyst contributes to a change in the direction of the ethanol oxidation reaction towards the formation of ethylene and acetaldehyde.

The current study's objective is to investigate the impact of demographic factors on secondary school students' emotional and behavioral issues. To investigate the hypothesis of this study, the current study used a cross-sectional and correlational research design. 600 high school students aged 13 to 18 were used to gather the data. The government and private secondary high schools in the Peshawar KPK district provided the information. The Problem with School Children Scale (PWSCS) was administered in Urdu to gather data. The data were analyzed using multiple regressions and an independent t-test. The findings indicated that demographic factors like socioeconomic status and family structure are significantly positively correlated with emotional problems among secondary high school students, while gender, physical health, and type of school are significantly negatively correlated with emotional problems. The study also found that gender, sickness, and type of school were significantly negative predictors of behavioral problems among secondary high school students, while socioeconomic position and family structure were positively related to behavioral problems. The study also showed that pupils at private schools experience a higher level of emotional and behavioral issues than students in public schools.
