The Interactions of Some Minerals Elements in Health and Reproductive Performance of Dairy Cows
Authors: M.T. Fadlalla Imad
Published: December 2022

The dairy business is recognized as an important economic and nutritional resource. The food and agriculture organization (FAO) estimates that there are about 245 million dairy cows in the world. Milk production offers enormous health, sociological, and economic benefits around the world. In emerging economies, livestock serves a range of purposes, including providing a source of household income, a financial asset for women, food security, risk management, and a direct connection to human health. With a total value of $628.27 billion USD in 2018, the dairy industry provides a major economic impact. The dairy business supports over a million employment, either directly or indirectly. In terms of public health, the dairy business plays a role. While dairy products are a beneficial part of a balanced diet, zoonotic and food-borne diseases originating in dairy animals can be dangerous to humans. Milk production performance in emerging countries is poor. Non-infectious infertility in dairy cattle is most commonly caused by energy, protein, and mineral deficiencies. According to the current review, minerals, play an essential role in animal production and reproduction issues. This chapter discusses the linkages of several mineral elements in health and reproductive performance that affects the dairy industry.
Clinical Neurophysiology of Epileptogenic Networks
Authors: Tsarouchas Nick
Published: December 2022

Current theories and models of brain rhythm generation are based on (1) the excitability of individual neurons and whole networks, (2) the structural and functional connectivity of neuronal ensembles, (3) the dynamic interaction of excitatory and inhibitory network components, and (4) the importance of transient local and global states. From the interplay of the above, systemic network properties arise which account for activity overdrive or suppression, and critical-level synchronization. Under certain conditions or states, small-to-large scale neuronal networks can be entrained into excessive and/or hypersynchronous electrical brain activity (epileptogenesis). In this chapter we demonstrate with artificial neuronal network simulations how physiological brain oscillations (delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma range, and transients thereof, including sleep spindles and larger sleep waves) are generated and how epileptiform phenomena can potentially emerge, as observed at a macroscopic scale on scalp and intracranial EEG recordings or manifested with focal and generalized, aware and unaware, motor and nonmotor or absence seizures in man. Fast oscillations, ripples and sharp waves, spike and slow wave discharges, sharp and rhythmical slow waves, paroxysmal depolarization and DC shifts or attenuation and electrodecremental responses seem to underlie key mechanisms of epileptogenesis across different scales of neural organization and bear clinical implications for the pharmacological and surgical treatment of the various types of epilepsy.
Overview and Advancements in Electric Vehicle WPT Systems Architecture
Authors: Oluwaferanmi Adewuyi Victor
Published: December 2022

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) system is a rapidly evolving technology with vast potentials in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, biomedicals and smart grid applications such as Vehicle to Grid (V2G). Hence, this article is devoted to present an overview of recent progress in WPT with specific interest in magnetic resonance WPT and its system architectures such as compensation topologies, inputs and outputs, as well as coil structure. The strengths, drawbacks and applications of the basic compensations (SS, SP, PS, PP) and hybrid compensations (LCC and LCL) were presented and compared. Although primary parallel compensations perform well at low mutual inductance, they are rarely used due to large impedance and dependence of coefficient coupling on the load. Hence, the need for extra-compensations forming hybrid topologies, such as LCC, LCL, which usually choice topologies for dynamic WPT application or V2G application.
Analysis of the Interlanguage of Second Language Learners: Implications for the Classroom
Authors: Chidi-Onwuta Gift
Published: December 2022

This chapter provides analysis of the interlanguage of second language learners and the pedagogic implications. It begins with reviews of the concept of interlanguage from the background of cross-linguistic influence, providing analysis of interlanguage of second language (SL) learners, proof of systematic variability of interlanguage use at the syntactic level as well as implications for SL teachers. It discusses the revised interlanguage hypothesis, revealing the shift from the previous concept where interlanguage solely applied to adults acquiring second languages to children who produce interlanguages with socio-linguistic justifications. This study highlights the role of social contexts in interlanguage development. Finally, the study reviews the concept of fossilization, causes of fossilization, and the arguments on inevitability of fossilization in second language learning. Pedagogically, the chapter suggests that interlanguage system can be changed by employing different teaching methods and strategies, creating linguistic and social contexts which are facilitative, and delisting those that inhibit learning and classroom achievements.
Flavonoids: Recent Advances and Applications in Crop Breeding
Authors: Nagar Shuchi , Dey Saurabh , Das Aishik , Basu Soumya
Published: December 2022

Flavonoids are secondary metabolites that perform a wide range of roles in plants. These include their involvement in plant growth, pigmentation, and UV protection, to a variety of defense and signaling activities. Flavonoids such as chalcones, flavones, flavanols, anthocyanins, and proanthocyanins are widely distributed in the plant kingdom. The metabolic routes of the flavonoids are exploited extensively using several biotech approaches to enhance the crop variety and incorporate varied nutritional benefits. Many flavonoids are key components of medicinal plants and possess nutritional significance. Specific mutations in flavonoid-related genes are typically responsible for the diversity in flavonoids, resulting in quantitative and qualitative variations in metabolic profiles. Thereby numerous attempts have been made to increase flavonoid content in agronomically important species. Flavonoids are also employed in the regulation of inflammation, in arthritis, and in cancer prevention strategies, due to their ubiquity in the human diet. Advances in the comprehension of flavonoid biosynthesis and modulation have prompted a surge in researches aiming at modifying the flavonoid pathway to improve nutritional value, plant defenses against infections and the feeding value of livestock. This chapter briefly discusses the varied role of flavonoids, their biosynthesis, and their distribution over the plant kingdom. Furthermore, it exclusively highlights the several biotech-based trending pieces of research based on introducing flavonoid biosynthesis in commercial crops.
How to Do Weaning and Decannulation in Adult Cardiac
Authors: Kang Pilje
Published: December 2022

If cardiac function is restored, we should consider discontinuing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Except for patients who go to transplantation or ventricular assist device, the patient’s condition should be evaluated steadily every day to determine and implement the weaning. Treatment interruption can be determined based on hemodynamic parameters, laboratory findings, and echocardiographic findings. Weaning is determined, and catheter removal is surgically removed or pressed by hand, and closure device is also used. Depending on the patient’s condition and the decision of each center, the appropriate method can be selected. Since various complications may occur after removal, intensive observation should be carried out for a certain period of time.
Perspective Chapter: Neurotoxins and Erythrocytes – A Double-headed Arrow
Authors: Abdelmissih Sherine
Published: December 2022

The prevalence of aggression has become an increasing problem that threatens lives, from suicidal ideation to homicide. Multiple factors contribute to such issue, including genetic, psychological, familial, economic, environmental, dietary habits, endocrine disturbances, psychiatric disorders, and neurological disturbances, making it resistant to control. If key targets can be identified, it might be possible to find a cure. To date, glutamate has been one culprit involved in aggression, instigated by inflammatory mediators and reactive oxygen species. Monosodium glutamate as well as omega-3 and-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids -components of our modern diet- modulate the inflammatory state, hence, affecting brain and blood glutamate, the latter is an essential neurotransmitter sharing in the antioxidant capacity of erythrocytes.Hence, the erythrocytic or blood glutamate assay, along with members of the inflammatory cascade, might be a cost-effective diagnostic and prognostic tool for aggressive behavior, especially feasible for assessing the efficacy of the intervening dietary and/or pharmacological measures to prevent such potentially devastating behavior.
Perspective Chapter: Regulatory Network in Plant under Abiotic Stress
Authors: Fatima Noreen , Khan Faiza , Saeed Asif
Published: December 2022

Abiotic stress is one of the primary causes of crop yield loss worldwide; it contributes to a nearly 50% reduction in crop production. Anti-oxidants are produced in plants to scavenge ROS that causes cellular damage during abiotic stress. The plant stress response is a complex mechanism that involves protein initiation pathways, abscisic acid signaling, transcriptional and post-transcriptional modifications. Abiotic stress-inducible genes are divided into two groups based on protein products, one is for signal transduction and other is for expressing resistance. Transcriptional factors bind to the promoter of the target gene at specific DNA sequences thus regulating the gene expression, so different kinds of transcriptional factors known as regulons are involved in regulation of genes during drought, salinity and cold stress.

Authors: Lee SeungHwan
Published: December 2022

The coverage technique is one of the essential applications of autonomous mobile mapping robots. There are various approaches for coverage depending on the model (model/non-model), robot systems (single/multi), and its purpose (patrol/cleaning). Coverage components include viewpoint generation and path planning approaches, which are described as CPP research work. Particularly, in surveillance systems, coverage techniques, such as spanning tree, cyclic coverage, and area-based coverage, are reviewed specifically, which can be expanded for multi-robot systems. In addition, required coverage techniques according to conditions for intelligent surveillance systems are summarized. Lastly, several issues on coverage, specifically cyclic coverage, are described and considered.
Chemistry and Modern Techniques of Characterization of Co-Crystals
Authors: Ali Akbar , Kuznetsov Aleksey , Ibrahim Muhammad , Abbas Azhar , Akram Nadia , Maqbool Tahir , Ushna
Published: December 2022

Co-crystals are multicomponent molecular materials held together through non-covalent interactions that have recently attracted the attention of supramolecular scientists. They are the monophasic homogeneous materials where a naturally occurring pharmaceutical active ingredient (API) and a pharmaceutically acceptable co-crystal former are bonded together in a 1:1 via non-covalent forces such as H-bonds, π–π, and van der Waals forces. Co-crystallization is a promising research field, especially for the pharmaceutical industry, due to the enormous potential of improved solubility and bioavailability. Co-crystals are not the only multicomponent molecular materials, as there are many other forms of multicomponent molecular solids such as salts, hydrates, solvates, and eutectics. The formation of co-crystals can roughly be predicted by the value of ∆pKa, that is, if the ∆pKa is more than 3, then this monophasic homogeneous material usually falls in the category of salts, whereas if the ∆pKa is less than 2, then co-crystals are usually observed. A number of methods are available for the co-crystal formation, broadly classified into two classes established on state of formation, that is, solution-based and solid-based co-crystal formation. Similarly, a number of techniques are available for the characterization of co-crystals such as Fourier transforms-infrared spectroscopy, single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, etc. In this chapter, we will discuss the available methods for co-crystallization and its characterization.
Evolutionary Theory of an Association between Testosterone and Attractiveness Perception in Humans
Authors: Doi Hirokazu
Published: December 2022

Literature on psychological function of testosterone in humans has emphasized its association with such traits as aggressiveness and impulsivity. In addition, increasing number of studies have shown the linkage between testosterone level and individual difference in the strength of preference for other’s sexually dimorphic traits. According to theorists in the field of evolutionary psychology, the preference pattern for sexual dimorphisms had evolved as an adaptive mechanism to increase the odds of reproductive success. But, so far, there are few systematic syntheses of literatures to validate such evolutionary explanation from the perspective of androgenic function. This chapter aims to give an overview of the existing findings on the association between testosterone and preference pattern in humans and discuss their implications for evolutionary explanation of human attractiveness perception.
PRF and Sticky Bone as Regenerative Materials in Oral Surgery
Authors: Hadziabdic Naida
Published: December 2022

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as a biological scaffold is attracting clinicians’ attention, mainly because it promotes bone and soft tissue healing. As autologous material, PRF has many advantages over other platelet concentrates, such as Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF). Among many benefits, simple preparation (centrifugation protocol) stands out because no additional anticoagulant is added to the tubes. This chapter aims to clarify the PRF membranes and sticky bone preparation together with other platelet concentrates. A few clinical cases will show how sticky bone is together with PRF membranes applicative in different oral surgery indications. Clinical and radiological check-ups demonstrated excellent therapeutic outcomes. Sticky bone and PRF membranes have regenerative potential and are advised to use in many oral surgery procedures.

Authors: Glosser Deborah , Russell Layla , Striby Paul
Published: December 2022

Glass fiber and glass fiber-reinforced polymers are of interest to engineers for a wide variety of applications, owing to their low weight, high relative strength, and relative low cost. However, management of glass fiber waste products is not straightforward, particularly when it is part of a composite material that cannot be easily recycled. This is especially the case for physically large structures such as wind turbine blades. This chapter deals with the challenges of managing this growing waste stream and reviews the structure and chemistry of glass fiber and glass fiber-reinforced polymers used in wind turbine blades, the separations processes for extracting the glass fiber from the thermoset resin, and end-of-life options for the materials. Thermodynamic evidence is reported and evaluated for a novel end-of-life solution for wind turbine waste: using it as a supplementary cementitious material.

Digital storytelling of the territory. Tourism development opportunities from film tourism and sacred music for the city of Alghero
Authors: Carta Alberto Mario , Martinez Vanni , Piana Federica , Turtas Gloria
Published: December 2022

This paper examines the role played by new technologies for the creation of the so-called “smart tourism destinations”: if new technologies are radically transforming the tourism market, and the way to experience tourism, smart destinations will have to be more and more able to respond to changes by innovating their offer. The study shows the results of an interdisciplinary laboratory experiment that involved some Ph.D. students of course in “Cultures, Literatures, Tourism and Territory” of the University of Sassari and the companies participating in the "Smart Tourism Destinations" conference, held in Alghero in March 2019. By means of a participatory project development methodology, the Ph.D. students have carried out an analysis of some tourism development opportunities collecting the specialized tourist information to be conveyed by digital and mobile tourist information systems. The main results obtained show how various types of tourist information can converge to enrich the tourist offer of the city of Alghero.
Digital Tourism and Local Networks: New Models and Methods of Integrated Tourism Planning. The Irpinia Case
Authors: Greco Ilaria , Cresta Angela
Published: December 2022

The article deals the topic of digital tourism, concentrating on the new interaction trends among territories, technologies and communities in a tourism context, in other words how tourism information, which is the basis of the image and tourist attraction of a location and therefore of competiveness, is created increasingly by the interaction between territory and the tourism community in an era of digital communication and social networks. Beginning with the changes caused by the application of new technologies and digital innovations to tourism practices, from the viewpoint of both demand and offer, which the literature quoted provides an accurate summary of, we aim to provide a detailed examination of the models and methods of integrated tourism planning that may derive from these changes, especially for destination which, although without major tourist attractions, have in the identity of the territory the critical factors for success capable of responding to a new demand for experiential, authentic, plural and community tourism. In terms of the methodology used, the theoretical examination of the reasoning behind the topics specifically dealt with is supplemented by the presentation of an especially significant experience of applied geographical research and tourism planning, the Irpinia case, as an example of an innovative model in terms of understanding the value of the network (local and virtual) and the digital technologies in the processes of integrated tourism planning for lesser tourist attractions.
Tourism in the Time of Covid-19. An Empirical Analysis of the of the Pandemic Effects on Sardinian Tourism in the European Context
Authors: Brundu Brunella , Carboni Stefano
Published: December 2022

The World Travel & Tourism Council considers tourism as one of the most resilient business activities with an excellent recovery times after crisis periods, which for various reasons have accourred worldwide as well. However, the current one, caused by Covid-19 pandemic, has taken on characteristics that will profoundly mark the 21st century since it brings with it a profound economic crisis of which tourism is one of the most important and most affected sector. It seems superflous to speak at this time about tourism, whose perception is always that of leisure, but in Italy, for example, this sector is worth about 12% of the gross domestic product. It is above all for this reason that it must be reconsidered in sustainable terms also from the health point of view, and social distance is the fundamental requirement now. Sardinia is one of the favored regions by italian tourists during the summer and by foreigners also in the shoulder months. To date, despite the still high criticality, there are variould theses under discussion, mainly among researchers, on what the new tourism will be possible, but the phases of mitigation and recovery should be estabished by the institution while the scientific community should answer the question on how to create and to manage these new kind of tourism. This study will try to address this problem by rethinking the typical types of the island of Sardinia from a tourist perspective of protection with respect to morbidity.
Sacræ Stationes. Religious processions, cartography and emotional tourism as prerequisites for local development: possible cases of “smart destinations”
Authors: Podda Cinzia , Secchi Paolo
Published: December 2022

If it is true that religious processions represent a spiritual phenomenon strongly rooted in history and are testimonials of a past which preserves collective memory, it is also true that they are expressions of an ancient and multilayered culture that have influenced its territory in a unique and unrepeatable way. This collective memory is cyclically recalled by way of displays of ancient rituals. These displays are capable of attracting thousands of the faithful and ever more often groups of tourists interested in religious phenomena. They also lead to the rediscovery of aspects of history, culture, landscape and territory to which they are linked. A modern religious tourist who is less frenetic and more “experiential” would like to immerse him/herself in the sacred and natural surroundings and distance him/herself from the frantic pace of contemporary life. Thus, processional routes, above all in the internal areas at risk of marginalization, may represent the stakeholders of a priceless territorial capital (both environmental and cultural), capable of generating positive external effects and, therefore, to bring to light and promote these routes within plans of territorial valorization. In this sense, cartography, regardless of format, can represent an element of force capable of culturally communicating facts, phenomena, emotions and movements that would otherwise be too difficult to correlate.
Smart islands: a “new” dimension of geographical isolation of El Hierro (Canary Islands)
Authors: García Ainhoa Amaro , Battino Silvia
Published: December 2022

Sustainability in tourism is now a fundamental requirement to allow the destinations concerned to compete in a sector that is becoming increasingly complex every day. Many references to this theme can be found in institutional documents at different territorial levels: a constant and joint commitment to sustainable, environmental, and socio-economic development is called for, capable of converting territories into “intelligent” spaces in the long term. The approach to sustainable territorial governance requires that the real component (public and private bodies, citizens, tourists, etc.) and the virtual component (ICT - Information and Communication Technologies) are cohesive to create a smart system. The work aims to highlight how the evolution and introduction of new technologies services for tourists (and not only) has allowed the island of El Hierro, in the Canary Islands, to change its image of "isolated" territory in a sustainable connected and accessible tourist destination.

Published: December 2022

Mathematics is a field of science taught since elementary school that discusses patterns or regularities of mathematical concepts and mathematical structures. One of the privileges of mathematics is that mathematics is associated with culture, and one of the responsibilities of the citizens of Indonesia is to preserve its culture. The relationship between mathematics and civilization is known as ethnomathematics. In this case, the researcher takes the culture related to Cirebon wayang kulit. The problem researchers face is that there are no rules for making shadow puppet patterns except by plagiarizing. The wayang kulit taken in this study is the wayang kulit Gunungan Cirebon. However, the researchers took the concept of the Golden ratio as a material to overcome problems in creating patterns for wayang kulit Gunungan Cirebon. This research aims to: 1). Knowing the relationship of the golden ratio in making puppet patterns in Gunungan Cirebon. 2). Knowing the relationship between the golden ratio and the wayang kulit philosophy of Gunungan Cirebon. The research method is descriptive qualitative research with interviews, observation, documentation, and measurement data collection techniques. It also uses data analysis, data reduction, presentation, and concluding. The results of this study found that there was a relationship between the golden ratio and the making of wayang kulit patterns in Gunungan Cirebon. The application of the golden ratio in the making of shadow puppet patterns also contains philosophical meanings and symmetry in it.

The aim is to determine the differences in student application abilities between integrated and conventional learning. One of the computer science colleges in the Cirebon area was sampled in this study. Two groups were formed, consisting of 1 integrated study group with a total of 36 students and one conventional study group with a total of 32 students. Both groups contracted numerical analysis courses. What carried out the type of quasi-experimental research and the static group comparison randomized control group only design became the design in this study. The result is that the average value of the application ability of students who study conventionally is 80.31, while the average application ability of students who study in an integrated manner is 84.58. The application ability of students who study integrated is higher than students who study conventionally, and the ability to apply of students who study integrated is more uniform than students who study conventionally. The results of the Mann-Whitney test found that the application ability of students who studied in an integrated manner was better than those who studied conventionally.

A good assessment covers three aspects: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Many teachers tend to assess only the cognitive aspect. This problem requires treatment in the form of appropriate assessment so that the development of student learning outcomes not only covers the knowledge aspect only. This research aims to find out the result of students learning outcomes in a group of mathematic learners after being given treatment in the form of performance assessment and self-assessment and find out which treatment gives better results amongst students who are treated in the form of performance assessment and self-assessment. This research is an experimental study. The population taken is all students in grade X of MA Ash-Siddiqiyyah. The sample was taken based on purpose, namely purposive sampling. The class used as the experimental class I is class X IPA 1, which amounted to 30 students, and class X IPS 2, which amounted to 30 students, is experimental class II. Based on the results obtained, the average student learning outcomes in experimental class I is in the high category with an average number gain value of 0.71. The average student learning outcomes in experimental class II are in the medium category and are shown by the average number of gain values of 0.64. Based on the hypothesis test results, the decision is to reject Ho and accept Ha. Then it can be concluded that the results of student learning in the learning group treated by performance assessment are better than student learning outcomes in the learning group treated with self-assessment.

Interaction skills between students are needed during the learning process. If a student does not interact with the teacher or between students during the learning process in the classroom, they will have difficulty achieving maximum learning success. The purpose of this research and development is to develop an instrument for assessing interaction skills among students in the mathematics learning process in the classroom. This development method was adapted from the steps developed by Saefuddin Azwar, which started with the identification of measurement objectives, operationalization of aspects, item writing, language testing, field tests, item selection, and final compilation. The subject of the experiment was carried out on class VIII-C students of SMPN 3 Luragung. Based on the results of research and development at SMPN 3 Luragung to produce a peer-based interaction skill assessment product during the mathematics learning process in class, the researcher can conclude that the assessment of interaction skills between students can objectively assess interaction skills between students when learning mathematics so that the results of the assessment are more accurate. In addition, the validity and reliability of the test results of the instrument for assessing interaction skills between students in the learning process of mathematics in the classroom that has been developed indicate that this instrument is suitable for use in learning mathematics. With minimum validity of 1 of three authors, the reliability of the instrument is said to be very high, with a result of 0.91, and the item discrimination power is greater than the item-total correlation coefficient of 0.2

This study aims to describe whether or not mastery of trigonometry affects students' ability to solve geometric problems in class X at SMAN Kadugede. The form of research used in this study is a quantitative research method. The research design used in this study is a one-shot case study, meaning that the treatment is applied to one experimental group, and then the dependent variable is measured. This design aims to determine a variable's effect on other variables effectively. The data collection instrument used was a test of mastery of trigonometric material and students' abilities in solving three-dimensional space problems. The population in this study was 253 students of class X; in this study, the authors took samples using the cluster random sampling technique with the object sampled in this study, namely class X 4, as many as 34 students at SMA Negeri 1 Kadugede. Analysis of the research data using linear regression test. Mastery of trigonometry material significantly influences mastery of three-dimensional space material. This is indicated by a significant value of 0.000 < 0.05 and the regression equation obtained is Y = 11.435 + 0.758 . The equation means that the ability to solve geometrical problems increases or increases by 0.758 times the mastery of trigonometry material, while the constant value of 11.435 states that if students do not have mastery of trigonometry material, then the ability to solve three-dimensional space problems is shallow. The results of the statistical test showed that there was an effect of mastery of trigonometry material on students' ability to solve three-dimensional problems.

Published: December 2022

This study explores teachers’ perceptions of their efficacy in teaching students with mathematics learning difficulties, also known as dyscalculia. This study employed a quantitative survey method. Random cluster sampling was used to select 384 mathematics teachers in the survey. Teaching Students with Mathematics Learning Difficulties Scale has been adapted with permission from Dawson & Scott (2013). Inferential statistics of independent t-test, analysis of variance, and Kruskal Wallis H-test were used to analyze the data. The results showed that teachers have high efficacy in teaching students with mathematics learning difficulties. There is no significant difference in teachers’ effectiveness in teaching students with mathematics learning difficulties based on age groups and years of experience. However, the findings show a significant difference in teachers’ effectiveness based on different academic qualifications. This study implies that the awareness of dyscalculia among mathematics teachers has increased. Future researchers are suggested to design and develop more interventions and instruments to improve the basic mathematical skills among students with mathematics learning difficulties.
