Published: December 2022

Abstract. What is the water source for ecological restoration plants in arid region is still up to debate. To address this issue, we conducted an in-situ experiment in the Ulan Buh Desert of China. We selected Tamarisk, a common drought-salt-tolerance species in the desert for ecological restoration as our research subject, used a new designed lysimeter to monitor precipitation infiltration, a sap flow system to track reverse sap flow that occurred in shoot, branch, and stem during the precipitation event, and observed the precipitation redistribution process of the Tamarisk plot. The results showed that Tamarisk indeed directly absorb precipitation water, when precipitation occurs, the main stem, lateral branch, and shoot all show the signs of reversed sap flow, and the reversed sap flow accounted for 21.5 % of the annual sap flow in the shoot and branch, and 13.6 % in the stem. Precipitation event in desert was dominated by light precipitation events, which accounted for 81 % of the annual precipitation events. It was found that light precipitation can be directly absorbed by the Tamarisk leaves, especially in nighttime or cloudy days. Even when the precipitation is absent, it was found that desert plants can still absorb unsaturated atmospheric vapor, as reversed sap flow was observed when the atmospheric relative humidity reached 75 %. This study indicated that the effect of light precipitation on desert plants was significant and should not be overlooked in terms of managing the ecological and hydrological systems in arid regions.

Abstract. Offshore wind farms are more commonly installed in wind farm clusters, where wind farm interaction can lead to energy losses; hence, there is a need for numerical models that can properly simulate wind farm interaction. This work proposes a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method to efficiently simulate the effect of neighboring wind farms on wind farm power and annual energy production. First, a novel steady-state atmospheric inflow is proposed. This inflow model is well suited for RANS simulations of large wind farms because it does not lead to the development of nonphysical wind farm wakes. Second, a RANS-based wind farm parametrization is introduced, the actuator wind farm (AWF) model, which represents the wind farm as a forest canopy and allows to use of coarser grids compared to modeling all wind turbines as actuator disks (ADs). When the horizontal resolution of the RANS-AWF model is increased, the model results approach the results of the RANS-AD model. A double wind farm case is simulated with RANS to show that replacing an upstream wind farm with an AWF model only causes a deviation less than 1 % in terms of wind farm power of the downstream wind farm. Most importantly, a reduction in CPU hours of 74.4 % is achieved, provided that the AWF inputs are known, namely, wind farm thrust and power coefficients. The reduction in CPU hours is further reduced when all wind farms are represented by AWF models; namely 89.3 % and 99.9 %, for the double wind farm case and for a wind farm cluster case consisting of three wind farms, respectively. For the double wind farm case, the RANS models predict different wind speed flow fields compared to output from simulations performed with the mesoscale Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF), but the models are in agreement with the inflow wind speed of the downstream wind farm. The double wind farm case is also simulated with the TurbOPark engineering wake model. Similar wake shapes are reproduced by TurbOPark but the model predicts a larger wind farm wake magnitude compared to RANS and WRF. TurbOPark predicts much better results when its ground model is switched off and a wake expansion coefficient of 0.06 is used. The RANS-AD-AWF model is also validated with SCADA measurements in terms of wind farm shape; the model captures the trend of the measurements for a wide range of wind directions, although the SCADA measurements indicate more pronounced wind farm wake shapes for certain wind directions.
Format Agnostic Archival Processing: Using One Standard for All
Authors: May Kari
Published: December 2022

Pooling guidance and examples from nationally and internationally known groups including the Digital Preservation Coalition, University of California Libraries, and OCLC, this article supports processing archival assets with a format agnostic perspective to promote a unified standard for all materials. Format agnostic processing can embrace and align digital and physical assets under one expectation for basic outputs regardless of their formats. In mixed material collections, digital assets are frequently seen as requiring a disassociated set of tools and knowledge and approached as unconnected to the physical assets. The format agnostic perspective can eliminate the tendency toward varying levels of processing and differing descriptions standards complicating the discovery of collection materials due to the varying formats of its assets. It can also support timely processing and preservation of digital assets to decrease the risk of data loss. Format agnostic processing would enhance discoverability while minimizing the loss of digital information.

Published: December 2022

The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), caused severe yield losses in rice production in many
Asian countries. Chemical control is the key component of the integrated pest management tool to control
rice brown planthopper (BPH). However, reduced toxicity of insecticides against this pest has been reported. We investigated the BPH mortality rate and the evolution of insecticide resistance in BPH collected from Bangladesh to commonly used insecticides by the rice-stem dipping method. Both the BPH laboratory strain and field populations were used in this study. The mortality rate of the Gazipur field population ranges from 15% to 80%, after exposure to imidacloprid in different concentrations. The highest mortality was found in response to dinotefuran followed by chlorpyrifos and etofenprox. The mortality rate increased after the time of exposure in relation to the increased concentrations of the insecticides. Additionally, the selected BPH strain shows a higher level of resistance to imidacloprid (resistance ratio = 179.45-fold), while other field populations show low to moderate levels of resistance. Increased detoxification enzyme activity, cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, was found in imidacloprid-resistant BPH. This study provides important information regarding the reduced toxicities of frequently used insecticides to control BPH.

Published: December 2022

A huge amount of newly sequenced proteins is being discovered on daily basis. The mainconcern is how to extract the useful characteristics of sequences as the input features for thenetwork. These sequences are increasing exponentially over the decades. However, it is veryexpensive to characterize functions for biological experiments and also, it is really necessaryto find the association between the information of datasets to create and improve medicaltools. Recently machine learning algorithms got huge attention and are widely used. Thesealgorithms are based on deep learning architecture and data-driven models. Previous workfailed to properly address issues related to the classification of biological sequences i.e.protein including efficient encoding of variable length biological sequence data andimplementation of deep learning based neural network models to enhance the performance ofclassification/ recognition systems. To overcome these issues, we have proposed a deeplearning based neural network architecture so that classification performance of the systemcan be increased. In our work, we have proposed 1D-convolution neural network whichclassifies the protein sequences to 10 top common classes. The model extracted features fromthe protein sequences labels and learned through the dataset. We have trained and evaluateour model on protein sequences downloaded from protein data bank (PDB). The modelmaximizes the accuracy rate up to 96%.

Published: December 2022

In this paper- we are presenting a real-time method to detect and track an autonomous objectusing visual processing on an unmanned aerial vehicle using an on-board companioncomputer (Jetson-TX1) for image processing. The profile of objects, frame rate of images,and unexpected motion make it hard to detect and track the object for a long period. To caterto this, we came up with an algorithm that was developed for long-term tracking which makesuse of Discriminative correlation filter with Channel and Spatial Reliability. The majorrestriction of our algorithm arises in the presence of occlusion, which was solved by creatinga region of interest in the center of the frame in which the object will always reside. If theobject exits the center region a command of left, right, top or bottom will be generatedfollowing the position of the object relative to our center position. These commands will becommunicated to the UAV via Mavlink protocol. Experimental results show that we haveachieved a long period of tracking with a good frame rate and eliminating spurious events andmisdetections.

Authors:   , Azimi Samaneh
Published: December 2022

Low-income housing constitutes an important but frequently overlooked, role in energy use reduction. Monetary and non-monetary barriers persist for low-income households to participate in energy efficiency programs and adopt energy-efficient lifestyles. This study examines the potential for increasing the adoption of energy efficiency measures by overcoming the energy efficiency barriers of low-income households in Australia. It developed a model to determine the relationship between barriers and energy efficiency adoption of low-income households and proposed various strategies to aid policymakers in overcoming the constraints that prohibit low-income households from adopting an energy-efficient lifestyle.
“Tocar como un hombre”: construcciones de género en la prensa española de 1930 en torno a la actividad profesional de las instrumentistas de cuerda
Authors: Pertierra Sánchez Clara
Published: December 2022

El presente artículo recoge fuentes hemerográficas de la década de 1930 en relación con la actividad profesional de mujeres instrumentistas de cuerda en España, mostrando cómo estas reflejan y perpetúan construcciones de género presentes en el contexto sociocultural e histórico del momento. Para ello, se establece un marco teórico basado en la musicología feminista, que ayudará a realizar un análisis crítico de las fuentes. Tras una breve contextualización que recoge tendencias en la relación entre las mujeres y la profesión musical desde finales de siglo, el artículo recorre tres puntos principales: la actividad concertista de violinistas y violonchelistas extranjeras y españolas; el caso de la única orquesta española de mujeres del momento; y el posicionamiento en prensa de las instrumentistas respecto a su realidad como mujeres y profesionales. Por último, se exponen algunas conclusiones en conexión con el marco teórico.
A brief report on the relations between Brazil and England in the 19th century: the transition of the labor system and the main legacy of the slavery system
Authors: Ferreira Gabriela
Published: December 2022

The influence of England on the economic formation of Brazil is well known. These induced marks easily seen in current times. Even after independence, Dom Pedro I found himself pressured to keep the nation subordinate to the British in favor of international recognition, a fact that was reflected in the trafficking of enslaved blacks. The treaty signed in 1826 was not only about the renewal of a mere British interest, but also of an abolitionist agreement that had transformed Brazil, in an economic and social character. The abolition of slavery in Brazil depends on external factors and, not least, internal factors: A period in which there were more enslaved individuals than free whites – building the concern that, as a matter of time, blacks would become aware.
ANALYSIS AND COMPARISON OF TRAINING LOAD BETWEEN TWO GROUPS OF WOMEN’S ARTISTIC GYMNASTS RELATED TO THE PERCEPTION OF EFFORT AND THE RATING OF THE PERCEIVED EFFORT SESSION
Authors: Martínez Paloma Trucharte , Grande Ignacio
Published: December 2022

The aim of this study was to assess the internal training load in female artisticgymnastics through subjective perception of effort (PSE) by calculating the sRPE variableand different associated variables. Ten gymnasts participated (age: 14.4 ± 2.9 years; height:1.5 ± 0.1 m; mass: 43.3 ± 12.2 kg) and were divided into two groups according to theircompetitive level and weekly training volume: High Level Gymnasts (HLG) and MediumLevel Gymnasts (MLG). The PSE of each gymnast was recorded daily for four weeks after theend of each training block. The HLG group recorded a significantly higher RPE and sRPEvalue in the specific physical preparation (SST) and in the parallel technical training (UB)contents (p < 0.05) compared to MLG. Statistically significant differences were also obtainedfrom the registered mean values of RPE and sRPE when comparing training content.Furthermore, a direct relationship between volume and workload was observed. Finally, thevariables associated with injury risk control provided relevant information to determine thatthe HLG group had a higher risk of injury than the MLG group. Therefore, the sRPE hasbeen a useful tool to assess the internal training load in women's artistic gymnastics. Suchinformation may help quantify the load in this sport in the future.

Multimedia as the Effective Tool for Teaching Local Wisdom to the Literature Students
Authors: Kristiana Vera , Yuliana Yayuk
Published: December 2022

This study examines the values ​​of local wisdom in multimedia-based learning of Cross Culture Understanding courses. Cross culture understanding is a course taught in the English Literature study program, where in the Cross Culture Understanding course students learn an understanding, namely an understanding of cultural differences and how to appreciate the differences that occur in their lives. This course is related to the mastery of knowledge of local wisdom, especially the values ​​contained in it, including social, economic, and educational values ​​of a culture. During the industrial revolution 4.0 and also the new normal period of the current covid-19 pandemic, all learning is still recommended not to meet face to face as an effort to prevent the transmission of covid-19. Various learning media are needed in the delivery of material, especially in this case material about culture and local wisdom which will be more interesting if you use several media in its presentation. Multimedia and technology play a very important role in changing the way of teaching and learning so that it becomes more innovative and multimedia itself is a combination of several media such as: text, graphics, audio or sound, and video that are in one software model to explain or describe a learning material. . Multimedia in the teaching and learning process aims to assist lecturers in explaining material that is difficult for students to understand. The use of multimedia technology can generate student learning motivation and make learning more interesting even though it is carried out online. The output of this research is in the form of scientific articles published in international journals and national proceedings.

Mangrove Forest Management Stakeholder Social Network in Langkat Regency
Authors: Aulia Farid , . Agustrisno
Published: December 2022

This study examines the social network of stakeholders managing mangrove forests sustainably in Langkat Regency. The existing conditions that have occurred so far show that the government has yet to be able to synergize with stakeholders through a mangrove forest management program that involves local community participation in a sustainable, synergistic, and systemic manner. Identifying stakeholder networks is very important to become a reference in designing a systemic and sustainable mangrove forest management program. Stakeholders who manage mangrove forests in Lubuk Kertang Village and Pasar Rawa Village form a symmetrical relationship through participatory group partnerships. The existing network forms, including tenure aspects (forest land tenure rights), and social and economic constructions, provide a significant background and influence on efforts to rehabilitate degraded mangrove forests. Within this scope, social networks can be understood to determine access rights, management rights, and governance of mangrove forests. The purpose of this research is to find out the shape of the network and the role of stakeholders (actors and institutions) as managers of mangrove forests. The method used is qualitative, with descriptive analysis techniques to analyze the shape of the network and the role of stakeholders (actors and institutions) as managers of mangrove forests.

Gonotrophic stages of Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus and their relationships with climatic conditions in selected school dormitories in Benin City, Nigeria
Authors: Omoregie A. O. , Aigbodion F. I.
Published: December 2022

Mosquito-borne pathogens are transmitted mainly during blood feeding by infective female mosquito vectors. Blood meals’ digestion stages reveal necessary entomological information for retrospective assessment and future plan for vector control. This study was done to assess the blood digestion stages of Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes and their relationships with climatic conditions in school dormitories in Egor, Oredo and Ikpoba Okha Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Benin City, Edo State. Indoor mosquitoes were collected between 08:00 and 11:00 hours from randomly selected dormitories bi-monthly for 6 months, using sweep net and mechanical aspirator. Female mosquitoes were identified and grouped into various blood digestion stages using relevant keys. A total of 439 adult female mosquitoes identified as An. gambiae (n=28) and Cx. quinquefasciatus (n=411) were examined for gonotrophic status. Total gonotrophic stages of both vector species in the collective LGAs were highly significant (p<0.01). Only Cx. quinquefasciatus revealed significant variation (p<0.01) in monthly mean percentage abundance of the gonotrophic stages across the study months in the combined LGA data. Regarding each LGA, there was significant variation in monthly mean percentage abundance of Cx. quinquefasciatus gonotrophic stages across the study months (p<0.05) in Egor and Ikpoba Okha except Oredo. As for An. gambiae, no significant difference (p>0.05) was observed per LGA. Correlations between gravid Cx. quinquefasciatus vs relative humidity, unfed Cx. quinquefasciatus vs rainfall and An. gambiae vs rainfall were the only associations that correlated significantly (p<0.05). The results indicate the need for deployment of thorough and effective vector management strategy

Introduction. Adjuvant therapy with the inclusion of 5-fluorouracil is used in patients with neoplasms of the colon and rectosigmoid in the postoperative period. However, along with a positive antitumor effect, 5-fluorouracilcontaining regimens have a negative effect on the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, which often leads to the need to replace or cancel drugs, thereby reducing the effectiveness of treatment.

Aim of the study was to improve the idea of the possibility of erosive and ulcerative lesions of the stomach and duodenum during treatment with 5-fluorouracil in patients with malignant tumors of the colon and rectosigmoid and the factors that aggravate their course, as well as to highlight the problem of prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal complications.

Materials and methods The search for publications by keywords was carried out in the databases of PubMed, Google Scholar, elibrary.ru and Russian specialized journals related to therapy, surgery, gastroenterology, oncology for the period from 2010 to 2022.

Results and Discussion An analysis of the literature allows us to conclude that the risk of damage to the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum during the use of chemotherapy with the inclusion of 5-fluorouracil is very high and amounts to 30–40 %. In addition, there are many factors that can complicate the course of this undesirable phenomenon. These include the advanced age of patients, the presence of serious comorbidity and postoperative complications in patients, as well as infection with Helicobacter pylori. The lack of generally accepted recommendations for the prevention and treatment of damage to the lining of the stomach and duodenum during the use of chemotherapy is a serious problem in modern medical practice.

Conclusion Gastrointestinal toxicity associated with the use of 5-fluorouracil in the form of mucositis in patients with malignant neoplasms of the colon and rectosigmoid deserves close attention. The presence of damage to the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum in a patient requires immediate therapy, as this will improve the long-term results of the treatment of the underlying disease and ensure a high quality of life for the patient.
Nature of pathological changes on magnetic resonance imaging of the CNS in patients with focal forms of acute tick-borne encephalitis
Authors: Galunova A. B. , Volkova L. I.
Published: December 2022

Introduction.Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a widespread natural focal viral neuroinfection in Russia and the Sverdlovsk region. The high level of morbidity, leading to disability, and the annual registration of focal forms and lethal cases determine the relevance of the search for early differential diagnostic criteria for acute tickborne encephalitis (TBE). A promising direction in the early diagnosis of TBE is acquired by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

The aim of the studywas to study the features of the MRI picture in patients with focal forms of TBE.

Material and methods. The study included 38 patients with focal forms of OKE who were treated in the neurological department of Sverdlonsk regional clinical hospital № 1 since 2009 to 2019.

Results.In the acute period of focal forms of TBE, pathological changes of an inflammatory nature during MRI of the CNS were more often detected in the cerebral hemispheres (mainly in the white matter) in 40.4 % and subcortical structures in 36.8 %, in the brainstem in 16.7 %, less often in 6.1 % – in the region of the cerebellum and spinal cord. Bilateral nature and combined lesions of the CNS structures were detected 2 times more often. Discussion A detailed analysis of the localization and nature of MRI changes in the CNS in patients with severe focal forms of the disease, in contrast to single descriptions of the MRI picture of TBE according to the literature, made it possible to identify combined lesions of the frontal and parietal lobes characteristic of TBE in combination with pathological changes in the region of the thalamus and basal ganglia.

Conclusion.Identification of typical MRI changes in the CNS in patients with a clinical picture of viral encephalitis in the spring-summer period contributes to the early diagnosis of a severe course of TBE.

Introduction. The effectiveness of any type of medical care for children is observed and measured by specialists and parents, whose participation is especially important in the rehabilitation of children with the consequences of diseases of the perinatal period.

The aim of the work was to identify parents' attitudes toward the organization of multilevel medical rehabilitation of children with the consequences of perinatal diseases.

Materials and methods An analysis of the results of a sociological survey of 295 parents whose children underwent rehabilitation/rehabilitation in the catamnesis service of one of the first catamnesis centers in the Russian Federation, established in St. Petersburg on the basis of the Children's City Multiprofile Clinical Specialized Center of High Medical Technologies was conducted.

Results and discussion More than one month after discharge from the hospital, 80.0 % (N = 236) of those who noted an unsatisfactory state of the child applied to the follow-up service. The parents interviewed rated the work of the catamnesis office with their children very highly. The average rating on a five-point scale was 4.96 ± 0.1. Parents noted that during the visit to the follow-up care unit all the children were examined by the medical specialists according to the profile of the disease, almost two-thirds of the children (62,9 %, N = 186) had laboratory tests, 37,0 % (N = 109) had instrumental studies, and more than half (57,1 %, N = 168) underwent psycho-pedagogical diagnostics of development. All parents were given recommendations for further action by specialists at the Center after the rehabilitation/ habilitation course was completed.

Introduction. Primary cell cultures of breast carcinoma (BC) are used as a model for study the processes of intratumoral heterogeneity, drug resistance and various molecular and biological processes. One of the variants of primary culture is non-adhesive cell culture in the form of spheroids – mammospheres. There is evidence that cells isolated from mammospheres have mesenchymal features. However, the acquisition of mesenchymal features in mammospheres derived from tumors correlates with suppression of estrogen receptor expression and, therefore, with resistance to therapy against hormone-dependent tumors.

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the method of culturing BC cells on the ability of cells to preserve the epithelial phenotype.

Materials and methods A comparative analysis of two BC culture samples examined over three passages using different methods of cultivation was performed. Staining for morphological evaluation was carried out according to Pappenheim. Determination of belonging to epitheliocytes was performed using anti-Pan Keratin (AE1/AE3/ PCK26) Primary Antibody (Roche diagnostics, USA).

Results Three passages (P2, P3, P4) of non-adherent and three passages of adherent cells were taken for culture analysis. During the study of these BC culture variants, the morphological features of the cells in each passage were determined and it was found that regardless of the technique chosen during cultivation, the cells of the cultures under study retained the epithelial phenotype. However, the study of the adhesive culture revealed a higher percentage of cells showing the epithelial phenotype compared to the cells of the non-adhesive culture.

Discussion In the course of our study, six morphological groups of cells obtained during the creation of a primary culture of a BC sample were identified, among which differences in the preservation of the epithelial nature throughout the cultivation were manifested.

Conclusion The choice of cultivation technique influences the ability of cells to retain the epithelial phenotype for three passages. In the second passage, the level of pancytokeratin expression in the adhesive culture is significantly differed from that in the non-adhesive culture. By the fourth passage there is a sharp decrease in the number of epithelial cells.

In the present study, the feasibility of using single particle Cu and hybrid Cu/Al2O3 nanofluids as heat transfer fluids in a coupled solar parabolic trough collector-heat water storage tank for domestic absorption cooling systems. A computer program based on one dimensional implicit finite difference method and energy balance approach has been developed to investigate the behavior of the studied system under the real climate conditions of a typical summer day in Adrar city, Algeria. The simulation findings reveal that solar parabolic trough collector with small area of 6m² and storage tank of 0.3m3 can ensure higher storage tank temperature able to drive an absorption cooling machine. Solar system with hybrid nanofluid shows superior performance compared to single nanofluid and pure water. Furthermore, the effect of nanoparticle's volume fraction is evaluated. The heat storage tank temperature can attain starting operating chiller temperature more rapidly with small volume fraction equal to 0.2% in the case of Cu-Al2O3/Water hybrid nanofluid.

Research and studies in social enterprising domain have seen a remarkable upsurge globally. This is happening because of proven significance of social enterprises on account of their potential in solving numerous social problems specially for people living at the base of pyramid. Number of social enterprises fostering the socio-economic development of various regions across the world are increasing and their roles are continuously evolving. Despite growing importance of social entrepreneurship, the literature in this topic is still fragmented, especially little research was done on key success factors of social enterprises. Moreover, the evolving literature on social enterprises and their role in economic development is puzzled with theoretical inconsistencies and definitional controversies. Thus, presently very little is known about the key success factors which are backbone of any social enterprise operating in any sector. The aim of this paper is to identify and synthesize the key success factors for social enterprises in India.
The role of Business Group Affiliation on the Determination of Firm's Dividend Policy Decisions: Evidence from India
Authors: B. Labhane Nishant
Published: December 2022

This research article examines the role of business group affiliation on the determination of firm’s dividend policy decisions (i.e. dividend payment decision and dividend payout level decision) for 703 National Stock Exchange (NSE) listed Indian firms during 1995-2018. In order to analyze the dividend payment decision (i.e. whether to distribute or not to distribute dividend?) a dichotomous logit regression analysis is utilized on the other hand, for the purpose of analyzing the dividend payout-level decision (i.e. how much amount of dividend to be distributed out of total earnings?) a tobit or censored regression analysis is utilized. The study finds from the comparative analysis that the dividend payout ratios of firms affiliated with the business groups are higher than that of unaffiliated firms (i.e. standalone firms). The econometric analysis indicates that the firms’ affiliation with the business groups have a direct association with the likelihood of firms paying dividends. The firms affiliated with the business groups are more likely to distribute dividends and their dividend payout levels are higher than the unaffiliated firms (i.e. standalone firms). The dividend policy decisions of business group affiliated firms are less sensitive to size, profitability, investment opportunities, financial leverage and firm’s life-cycle stage on the other hand, they are more sensitive to free cash flow and business risk.
