Networked Wearable Sensors for Monitoring Health and Activities of An Equine Herd: An IoT Approach to Improve Horse Welfare
Authors: Miller Morgan , Byfield Richard , Crosby Marci , Lin Jian
Published: October 2023

In the past decade, wearable sensors for animals have been significantly advanced. When paired with advanced analysis tools such as machine learning, they can unveil correlations of the sensed information with animals' health and well-being. While they hold great promise, large-scale deployment in a herd has been quite limited due to intrinsic challenges in network communication among the sensors. Herein, in this study, based on our previous success of developing wearable vital sign sensors for individual horses, we demonstrate application of networking these wearable sensors in a herd. A single device not only features a Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor that measures heart rates with 95% accuracy but also incorporates a GPS module for location tracking, a 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope for motion detection, offering a holistic sensing solution. Secondly, a network that interconnects these sensors in an equine herd for long-range communication and high-speed computation has been designed and implemented. Through such an internet of things (IoT) network, collective health, and behaviors of the horses in a herd setting can be studied, thus their differences when compared to an individual horse setting can be understood. Such an IoT system is one of the first in the field, if not the only one, designed specifically for use with horses, thus paving a new route to precision agriculture.

Authors: Al Amin Md
Published: October 2023

This paper is based on Bioinformatics, where in our research on individuals with Type 2 Diabetes, we utilized a feature importance method using XGBoost to identify highly expressed genes from RNA sequencing count data. This approach was used instead of relying solely on Adjusted P-Values and Log Fold Changes values to determine significant genes. We also developed a classification pipeline for diagnosing type 2 diabetes (T2D) using RNA-Seq data. 
PRESYNC: An Efficient Transaction Synchronization Protocol to Accelerate Block Propagation
Authors: Li Yixin , Liang Liang , jia Yunjian , Wen Wanli
Published: October 2023

Block propagation is a critical step in the consensus process, which determines the fork rate and transaction throughput of public blockchain systems. To accelerate block propagation, existing block relay protocols reduce the block size using transaction hashes, which requires the receiver to reconstruct the block based on the transactions in its mempool. Hence, their performance is highly affected by the number of transactions missed by mempools, especially in the P2P network with frequent arrival and departure of nodes. In this paper, we introduce Presync, a transaction synchronization protocol that can reduce the difference of transactions between the block and the mempool with controllable bandwidth overhead. It allows mining pool servers to synchronize the transactions in candidate blocks before the propagation of a valid block. High-bandwidth mode conducts a full synchronization of the candidate block using short hashes, and the Merkle root is utilized to match the valid block. Low-bandwidth mode provides a lightweight synchronization by identifying the unsynchronized transactions, so that the missing transactions can be detected with a low redundancy. We study the performance of Presync through the stochastic modeling and experimental evaluations. The results illustrate that high and low-bandwidth modes can respectively reduce the end-to-end delay of compact block by 60% and 78% with bandwidth usages 25KB and 63KB, in a network with 5 active pool servers and 2/3 online probability of full nodes. 
Effect of Ethanolic Extract of Tetrapleura Tetraptera on Some Antioxidant Enzymes in Rats Administered 1, 2-Dimethylhydrazine
Authors: Boluwatife OPE J. , Ukochovwera Oghenetejeri
Published: October 2023

This work was aimed at determining the antioxidant activity of an ethanol extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera fruits in rats administered DMH. Group 1 (positive control) contains rats without the administration of DMH, extract, or CMC. Group 2 (negative control) received DMH, 1 ml of 1% CMC, and no extract. Group 3 received a low dose of the ethanol extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera fruits (100mg/kg) and DMH. Group 4 received a high dose of the ethanol extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera (200mg/kg) and DMH. The DMH was administered once a week for four consecutive weeks, while the ethanol extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera was administered daily for four consecutive weeks. The result showed that there was a significant increase in the activities of SOD, CAT, and GST in rats administered an extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera fruits compared to the negative control group. In general, the introduction of Tetrapleura tetraptera to the rats caused an increase in the activity of the antioxidants compared to the negative control. The histopathological profile, however, showed that the DMH did not affect the liver, colon, and small intestine morphology. It could thus be concluded that the ethanol extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit has potent antioxidant activity.

Authors: Zang Yinuo , Guo Jianquan
Published: October 2023

Based on the improved STIRPAT model and the affiliation function assessment method, this paper explores the relationship between population aging degrees and carbon emissions in China, divides the population aging into two groups of tendency aging and complete aging for regression investigation, and further explores the impact at the national and regional levels. The results show that, firstly, at the national level, population aging in China has an inhibitory effect on carbon emissions at the present stage. Secondly, at the degree of aging, the effects are different, among which tendency aging can negatively affect carbon emissions, while complete aging is positively affecting carbon emissions, and in the long term, the relationship shows an inverted "U" shape. Thirdly, at the regional level, there are obvious regional differences in these effects. This study helps the government to improve the relevant coping strategies for an aging society.

Published: October 2023

Breast cancer (BC) is developing from cells of breast tissue and is caused by the presence of malignant cells, which are characterized by uncontrolled cell division, leading to abnormal growth (in situ carcinoma), and their ability to invade normal tissue locally. BC's diagnosis and treatment strategies have recently improved, but the incidence rates continue to increase. Worldwide, BC is the most common cancer in women. The aim of this study is to combine histological, classification, and risk factors in a small review for easy searching by clinical researchers. Currently, there are many studies on BC in Iraq or in other regions of the world. Therefore, combining these studies in one work may give an advantage in the clinical trials of BC. In conclusion, BC is the first of the ten top cancers in Iraqi women up to 2018.

Authors: Agbarakwe Ugochukwu Henry , Fii Donatus
Published: October 2023

The objective of the research was to determine the relationship between trade policy and the output of the manufacturing sector. Three hypotheses were formulated. The study adopted ordinary least squares econometric approach on the time series data from 1986 to 2020 to generate the estimates of the models to test the hypotheses at 5% level of significance. The research concluded that there is a positive relationship between manufacturing sector output the and trade liberalization while there is a negative relationship between trade protectionism and manufacturing sector output in Nigeria for the period under review. It was therefore concluded that, since the manufacturing sector is the driver of economic growth in any economy, protection as good as it is may not positively impact the manufacturing sector if other stimulating policies are not adopted simultaneously. Liberalized trade policy should be maintained in manufacturing subsectors that utilize imported manufacturing input alongside other incentivizing policies.

The subject of the research is a polder which is a pre-drained low-lying section of the coasts of a water body protected by protective dams from flooding. The article offers a summary table with practical recommendations for the operation and regulation of the water regime of winter, summer, spring and gravity polder systems to increase the efficiency and environmental friendliness of the use of reclamation lands. We also analyze the method of determining the supply of polder pumping stations using the drain module. The calculation is based on water balance data, as well as on a calculated comparison of the removal of meltwater from the spring flood and summer-autumn runoff. We show schemes of a polder with precinct pumping stations and a pumping unit with submersible pumps, as well as a schematic diagram of a pumping station of the bridge type. We analyze the possibility of installing axial capsule pumping units at the pumping station in addition to centrifugal pumps. It is noted in the work that the structures on the polders are specific reclamation structures that differ in the mode of operation and design. The proposed layouts of polder pumping stations with axial pumps of the OPV 2500-4.2 brand produced in Russia meet modern construction requirements. The article presents an algorithm for the operating mode of a polder pumping station, as well as shows the options for the ratio of flows during pumping by individual pumping units to fully cover the schedule of water inflow into surface watercourses.

Increasing the erosion resistance of compressor blades of gas turbine engine and gas pumping unit by applying vacuum-plasma coatings
Authors: Dyblenko Yu.M. , Prokopchuk K.A. , Selivanov K.S. , Smyslov A.M.
Published: October 2023

A test for resistance to gas-abrasive wear of several variants of multilayer vacuum-plasma coatings based on titanium and vanadium nitrides of various thicknesses and number of layers was carried out. Erosion curves are given, areas of accelerated wear are determined, and comparative values of wear resistance are calculated. Based on the conducted microscopic studies, a mechanism of layer-by-layer wear of the studied multilayer coatings is proposed. It is shown that due to the creation of a special layered coating structure, including the alternation of highly hard nitride and relatively softer Ti and V layers, the resistance to gas-abrasive wear of parts of gas turbine engines made of titanium alloys is greatly increased.

Published: October 2023

Studies of the deposited layer obtained using flux-cored wires of the Fe—C—Si—Mn—Cr—W—V system by introducing titanium and carbon-fluorine-containing material into their composition — gas cleaning dust of aluminum production, wt.%: 21...46 Al2O3; 18...27 F; 8...15 Na2O; 0.4...6 K2O; 0.7...2.3 CaO; 0.5...2.5 SiO2; 2.1...3.3 Fe2O3; 12.5...30.2 CTotal; 0.07...0.9 MnO; 0.06...0.9 MgO; 0.09...0.19 S; 0.10...0.18 P. The deposited layer was obtained using submerged arc surfacing by the ASAW-1250 welding tractor using a fabricated flux-cored wire made from slag produced by silicomanganese with a chemical composition, mass. %: 0.50 FeO; 15.16 MnO; 29.13 CaO; 42.40 SiO2; 6.80 Al2O3;1.39 MgO; 0.18 Na2O; 0.59 K2O; 0.28 S; 0.022 P; 0.004 ZnO; 0.024 C; 0.32 F; 0.17 TiO2; 0.033 Cr2O3. The studies carried out made it possible to establish the relationship between the chemical composition of the deposited flux-cored wire and the structure and properties of the deposited metal. It has been established that the introduction of titanium increases the values of hardness and microhardness. The use of a carbon-fluorine-containing additive leads to microstructural changes expressed in obtaining the structure — ferrite, perlite and bainite, in contras t to the structure — martensite, δ-ferrite and residual austenite, as well as to an increase in the size of martensite needles in the structure of the deposited layer. Microstructural changes are due to the introduction of a carbon fluorine-containing additive into the composition of flux-cored wire and are accompanied by a change in microhardness and hardness. With an increase in the content of the carbon-fluorine-containing additive in the composition of flux-cored wire, an increase in the microhardness and hardness of the deposited metal is observed.

Authors: Chudina O.V. , Simonov D.S. , Simonova T.S. , Litovchenko A.N.
Published: October 2023

The surface plastic deformation of structural steels was studied using ultrasound. Four variants of hardening are considered: ultrasonic treatment with continuous supply of ultrasonic energy, pulsed ultrasonic treatment, a combination of ultrasonic treatment followed by pulsed treatment, and ultrasonic treatment after quenching with induction heating. It is shown that UST increases the microhardness of the surface layer of structural steels by 1.5 times, HFC hardening by more than 2 times, combinations of HFC hardening + UST by 3 times, and HFC + UST hardening by 3.2 times. Ultrasonic treatment increases the compressive stresses that occur in the steel surface hardened by HFC hardening. Compressive stresses increase especially strongly after pulsed ultrasonic treatment with five passes and reach a value of 1200 MPa.
Entre dos mundos: la arquitectura efímera del Día de Muertos en Tzintzuntzan
Authors: Martínez-Aguilar José Manuel , Rodríguez-Cázarez Mirna
Published: October 2023

La riqueza cultural que representa la celebración del día de Todos los Santos y el día de los Fieles Difuntos, conocida en México como Día de Muertos, ha motivado numerosos estudios antropológicos en donde se describen y analizan las prácticas de diferentes comunidades indígenas, como la velación de los difuntos, la decoración de los altares y sus significados. El presente trabajo se centra en analizar la arquitectura efímera de Tzintzuntzan, elaborada para el Día de Muertos. 
Con base en la observación participativa, entrevistas con la gente del lugar y la revisión de estudios previos, se pudo determinar que en estos días los tzintzuntzeños reconfiguran los espacios públicos y privados del poblado y crean una destacada arquitectura efímera, a través del uso de elementos significativos, como altares y arcos, los cuales tienen la intención de abrir un portal que una el mundo de los vivos con el de las ánimas. El diseño de elementos como coronas y altares está determinado según la personalidad y gustos que tenían los difuntos, pero también por la creatividad de los familiares que participan en el proceso.
Eficiencia energética mediante diseño pasivo en la reutilización de edificios con valor patrimonial del siglo XX en México
Authors: Cedillo-Rizo Ana Paulina , Solano-García Naoki Enrique
Published: October 2023

El comportamiento térmico de diferentes elementos de la fachada de un edificio con valor patrimonial del siglo xx se analizó experimentalmente, comparando el estado actual con una propuesta de diseño pasivo que conserve la estética de la fachada y su valor artístico. 
El objetivo es encontrar si al adaptar térmicamente la estrategia de confort de un edificio patrimonial a un nuevo uso sostenible, sin modificar la apariencia exterior, se pueden reducir las demandas de energía y el flujo de calor hacia el interior para mantener los espacios en una temperatura adecuada y confortable.  
Se determinaron las estrategias pasivas que se aplicarían considerando el contexto climático del caso de estudio. Después, se analizaron los flujos de calor en los modelados energéticos de los muros con murales de piedra para comparar los resultados con las estrategias pasivas aplicadas. Por último, se estudiaron los efectos de los elementos de sombreado en los espacios interiores. 
Los resultados muestran que la propuesta de envolvente, que considera aislamiento térmico, masa térmica y doble vidriado, disminuye considerablemente el flujo de calor hacia el interior. El análisis de los elementos de sombreado sugiere que disminuyen la radiación solar al interior, pero también de la entrada de iluminación natural, por lo tanto, debería evaluarse si es conveniente disminuir el consumo de energía en climatización o en iluminación artificial. 
De esta manera, se conserva el valor histórico y artístico de un edificio patrimonial, mientras se adapta a las necesidades climáticas actuales derivadas del calentamiento global, a pesar de las limitaciones de la intervención a la fachada.

En el contexto de una investigación, que proponía un modelo de comunicación visual, se planteó un experimento desde el pensamiento de diseño que tenía por objetivo evaluar los principales parámetros de legibilidad en las cédulas de exposición, y así, determinar la métrica de las condiciones óptimas aplicables al diseño de exposiciones. Sin embargo, en el proceso se encontró, que plantear la parametrización de forma objetiva, como una fórmula infalible para la generación de productos comunicativos, sobre todo, a nivel de diseño gráfico, era insuficiente. Descubriendo que, la cultura de la verificación que suele acompaña al método científico, resulta inapropiado para el reconocimiento de algunas necesidades de comunicación visual en los espectadores de una exposición, generando una nueva pregunta de investigación: ¿Cuáles son los límites de aplicación de los parámetros de ergonomía visual en el diseño de exposiciones desde una perspectiva del pensamiento de diseño?

Published: October 2023

Creative thinking skills are recognised as 21st-century skills. This study aimed to determine whether students' creative thinking skills in biochemistry courses are improved through scaffolding-based problem-based learning. The study employed a mixed methods approach with a sample of 113 chemistry education programme students at Jambi University. An observation sheet instrument was used to gauge students' creative thinking skills during learning, test questions were used to gauge them after the implementation of Problem Based-learning, and an interview instrument was used to see how students responded once PBL learning had been implemented. Descriptive statistical testing techniques were applied to data between classes. It was found that there were significant differences in students' creative thinking skills after scaffolding-based PBL learning had been carried out. The biochemistry learning process was found to be conducive to scaffolding in problem-based learning. Providing scaffolding in problem-based learning also has a positive impact on students because this study proves that students become more active learners in education because the problem-solving process requires students to express opinions and exchange ideas.

São Félix do Xingu – PA é o município brasileiro campeão de produção de gado, com um rebanho de mais de 2 milhões de cabeças, conforme dados do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE, 2020). A forte presença dessa atividade, entretanto, não pode ser vista como a única em curso ou a que representa, em absoluto, todas as formas de apropriação, significação e uso dos espaços. A região acolhe uma diversidade social ampla, sendo os agricultores e agricultoras familiares atores expressivos. Durante a pandemia, estes últimos viram as suas lógicas de existência confrontadas. Estimulado a investigar a situação, o presente trabalho estudou o modo como agricultores e agricultoras familiares do município de São Félix do Xingu – PA organizados em associações e cooperativas atravessaram/atravessam a crise no contexto da pandemia e dos processos de pecuarização. A análise recaiu sobre as suas maneiras de perceber riscos à saúde e à perda de condições de trabalho em face do referido cenário. A pesquisa realizada foi de natureza qualitativa, sendo a ferramenta digital WhatsApp um instrumento de interlocução fundamental, nos tempos mais duros da pandemia. As entrevistas foram semiestruturadas, sendo o distanciamento devidamente observado. A pandemia da Covid-19 impôs uma situação de vulnerabilidade aos interlocutores da pesquisa, pela ameaça à saúde física, mas também econômica e social. A despeito da situação, os atores sociais seguem reoxigenando as esperanças, mantendo as suas agendas e planos traçados.

Pemeliharaan personal hygiene merupakan hal yang penting yang harus dilakukan oleh semua orang. Personal hygiene bisa menentukan status kesehatan. . Bila kesehatan kulit tidak dijaga maka akan timbul penyakit kulit yang di sebabkan oleh jamur,virus, kuman maupun parasit, salah satu penyakit yang sering dijumpai pada penyakit kulit adalah Skabies. (Nursing,2016). Penularan terjadi karena Sarcoptes scabei betina yang di buahi. Kurangnya perhatian pada Pondok Pesantren termasuk elemen di dalamnya yaitu para santri menjadikan Pondok Pesantren merupakan tempat yang dianggap sarangnya penyakit dikarenakan kurangnya pengetahuan santri terhadap penyakit Skabies ini. Faktor yang mendasari sebuah lingkungan komunitas seperti pesantren sering terjangkit Skabies yaitu karena lingkungan yang padat, pengetahuan santri yang terbatas tentang Skabies serta kesadaran santri tentang pentingnya menjaga kebersihan diri dan lingkungannya. Dari data puskesmas pada tahun 2015 angka kejadian Skabies di pondok pesantren Riyadlul Ulum Wadawah  tinggi dengan jumlah santri yang terinfeksi 52 orang dan yang tidak terinfeksi 47 orang. Dan dari hasil studi pendahuluan yang dilakukan oleh  Purnimarahmi (2016) pada tanggal 01 Maret 2016 dari 10 orang santri di dapatkan data 4 dari 10 orang santri mengetahui tentang penyakit Skabies dan 6 diantaranya tidak mengetahui tentang penyakit Skabies.. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk  meningkatkan pengetahuan pada santri , metode dilaksanakan berupa pendidikan kesehatan ceramah, tanya jawab diskusi, dengan strategi advokasi, bina suasana dan pemberdayaan masyarakat pesantren Riyadlul Ulum Wadawah.

Published: October 2023

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which are environmentally prevalent compounds, have the ability to interact with the body's endocrine system and thus exert detrimental effects on human health. Despite persistent concerns over public health, endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) remain integral components of commonplace consumer products, rendering them ubiquitous pollutants for individuals. In light of the numerous epidemiological and experimental studies that have established a connection between endocrine-disrupting chemicals and adverse effects on human health, there has been an increased emphasis on mitigating human exposure to these compounds. There exists a correlation between endocrine-disrupting drugs and adverse impacts on human health, as well as an elevated susceptibility to hormone-sensitive cancers such as breast, uterine, ovarian, prostate, and thyroid cancers. The objective of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of previous studies investigating the relationship between endocrine-disrupting chemicals and the development of cancer.

Biological shielding of nuclear reactors is an important interest and diminishing the intricacy and cost of these installations is an important interest. In this paper, we used galena minerals and barite for the production of a hybrid fiber heavyweight aggregate concrete. Galena minerals that exist in many parts of Iran were used in the concrete mix design. Barite is an important chemical element for neutron absorption processes. The cross-section in matter and neutron capture is a utilizable cause to explain the neutron shielding characteristics of samples. Neutron cross-section measurements of samples were done by using a source of 4.5 MeV neutrons. Cross-section and neutron capture of each sample were calculated by using the Geant 4 Monte Carlo code. As a result, the use of appropriate galena concentration and barite and the use of monofilament polypropylene fiber with steel fiber can improve cross cross-section value of hybrid fiber heavyweight aggregate concrete and enhance the properties of neutron shielding.
Study Of Using Bentonite – Poly Ethylene Glycol Composite for Metal Removal from Water
Authors: Ahmed Neama Ahmed Sobhy
Published: October 2023

Direct polymerization of polyethylene glycol (PEG) in suspensions of Bentonite (Ben) was used for preparation of Ben-PEG composite. The prepared composite was characterized using field-effect scanning electron microscopy, surface area measurements, and X-ray diffraction. In the XRD pattern there is a change in peak intensity. But New peaks appeared. This may be due to high dispersion of particles of polymer in the Ben matrix or low concentration of the modifying agent. The crystallinity absence after loading the sorbent with cadmium and lead ions in the SEM measurement indicates that there was no crystalline phase after sorption. The optimal conditions for adsorption of Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions were found to be a PEG content of 0.2 % and a contact time of 150 min. The sorption experiments were performed under different operating variables, including, pH, adsorbent dose and initial concentration of metals. For both Cd2+ and Pb2+, Adsorption parameters were determined using both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, but the experimental data were better fitted to the Langmuir equation than to Freundlich equation. The adsorption equilibrium was described by the Langmuir model, which confirmed the presence of saturated mono-layer of adsorbent molecules on the adsorbent surface, that the energy of adsorption is constant. The potential of Ben-PEG composite for the removal of cadmium and lead from aqueous solution was substantiated.
N-Boc-α-Diazo Glutarimide as Efficient Reagent for Assembling N-Heterocycle-Glutarimide Diads via Rh(II)-Catalyzed N-H Insertion Reaction

Published: October 2023

A technique has been proposed for incorporating a heterocyclic component into a glutarimide framework employing Rh2(esp)2-catalysed N-H insertion with the involvement of N-Boc-α-diazo glutarimide. The new diazo reagent is more stable, soluble and convenient to prepare than the previously suggested one. The approach permits the application of diverse heterocycles, including both aromatic and saturated NH-substrates. This yields structures that are appealing for generating Cereblon ubiquitin-ligase ligands and for potential use in crafting PROTAC molecules.

La vasculitis primaria del sistema nervioso central en niños es una afección en la que los vasos sanguíneos del cerebro se inflaman, afectando el flujo sanguíneo y comprometiendo la función cerebral. Esta enfermedad puede presentarse de manera progresiva con síntomas neurológicos y cognitivos, y su diagnóstico se basa en la disfunción neurocognitiva inicial, lesiones en el tejido cerebral y patrones angiográficos específicos. El tratamiento suele incluir medicamentos antiinflamatorios y, en algunos casos, terapias inmunosupresoras. El diagnóstico temprano y el manejo adecuado son cruciales para prevenir complicaciones graves y preservar la salud neurológica de los niños afectados.
INDIA’S MARITIME SECURITY: PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES
Authors: Dumaniya Dr. Mayur N.
Published: October 2023

The concept of maritime security deals with a range of security issues, which include national security, economic development, human security, the marine environment, and so forth. Maritime security is one of the most important aspects of national security and international politics in the present day. Countries that have large coastal areas face serious maritime challenges and threats. Those countries need to invest large amounts of their budget, energy, and time in strengthening maritime security. India is also one of them that has been facing the challenges of maritime security. Multiple terrorist attacks in Mumbai on November 26, 2008, exposed a lack of strong maritime security resources and infrastructure. The 26/11 terror attack is also considered a paradigm shift in India’s Maritime Security management. Therefore, to resolve the problems and counter maritime challenges and threats, India started giving more attention to maritime security. This paper examines how India’s maritime security discourse evolved, what the fundamental maritime security challenges India is facing presently are, what security policies and programs India has adopted and executed to counter those challenges, and what challenges still need to be addressed.
