REVISITING AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN MEXICO CITY* César NAVA ESCUDERO** El presente trabajo tiene por objeto analizar quince años (1990-2005) de gestión de calidad del aire en la ciudad de México. Tras analizar tres aspectos vinculados entre sí (crecimiento urbano y poblacional, la actual situación de calidad del aire y las emisiones de vehículos automotores), este trabajo concluye que mientras las autoridades mexicanas continúen apostando a las tecnologías nuevas, a la implementación de diversas pero insuficientes medidas de tránsito vehicular, resten importancia al transporte público, y en cambio apoyen la expansión de vialidades, la mejoría de la calidad del aire en la ciudad de México será moderada.

APROXIMACIÓN A UN ASPECTO DE LA EDUCACIÓN INFORMAL* María de Montserrat PÉREZ CONTRERAS** Los medios de comunicación, frente al fenómeno de la violencia familiar, son un factor determinante tanto para la reproducción de la misma como para prevenirla; a lo largo de este trabajo presentaremos estos aspectos con el fin de promover una cultura de la no violencia; así como para aprovechar dichos medios como una herramienta de prevención de la misma. Parece que el contenido de la legislación pertinente no ha sido suficiente para garantizar la debida actuación de los medios de comunicación, y para que el Estado haga cumplir los compromisos internacionales y nacionales. A pesar de la lentitud en los avances, hay que reconocer los pocos espacios de contenidos culturales, o bien, asignados a fundaciones en los que se trabaja sobre el tema. Sin dejar de reconocer también la influencia positiva de los medios de comunicación social, queda claro que el manejo no adecuado y no erradicado de la violencia es una de sus prácticas y consecuencias no deseadas.

Published: September 2024

This study aimed to characterize seasonal changes in microphytoplankton composition and abundance on Bahia continental shelf, a region with upwelling events. Semi-annual sampling was conducted during summer and winter from 2017 to 2021 at nine points. Microphytoplankton was sampled using a conical plankton net through horizontal subsurface drags, using a flowmeter coupled to the net, to measure the total volume of filtered water. Temperature and salinity were measured in situ, presenting typical values of tropical waters. In addition, dissolved inorganic nutrient concentration corroborated a tropical marine oligotrophic pattern. A total of 151 taxa were identified in the region, with the phyla Heterokontophyta and Dinoflagellata being the most representative, as is typically recorded in tropical coastal regions. The density ranged from 6.08 × 104 to 3.38 × 108 cells L-1, with higher average values in summer. Although cyanobacteria accounted for only 3.2% of species richness in the region, due to summer blooms of Trichodesmium erythraeum (2018, 2019, and 2021), it was the most abundant group throughout the study. It was observed that upwelling events do not seem to establish favorable conditions for marked seasonal changes in microphytoplankton composition and abundance. Trichodesmium erythraeum blooms are closely related to physiology and ecological capacity of this species. Except for bloom periods, the study area presented a high species richness and diversity throughout the analyzed time series.

The pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus duorarum and white shrimp Litopenaeus setiferus are species of high ecological and commercial value, therefore, studies that analyze their temporal variability and their relationship with the physical ambient in the long term becomes necessary. The aim of this is study was to assess the impact of some environmental factors on the temporal variability of the postlarvae of both species in Terminos Lagoon, Southern Gulf of Mexico, a region recognized for being the refuge, breeding and feeding habitat for these species. Organisms were collected at three different depths (1.5, 4 and 9 m) using a multiple net system (trapezium-type nets, 50 cm of mouth diameter, 1.5 m in length, and mesh size of 505 mm) in a fixed location at the junction between the lagoon and the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico during nocturnal sampling expeditions executed from May 2010 to September 2013. In each sampling expedition, hydrographic data (e.g., temperature, salinity) were recorder using a multiparameter sonde, meteorological data (e.g., precipitation, wind velocity) were acquired from a local meteorological station, while the surface circulation pattern was obtained from a numerical model. The results showed changes in the environmental factors, with highest precipitation (250 mm) in 2010. The surface temperature revealed values of ~30 ºC with slight variations throughout the study period. Salinity showed minimum values (< 30) in the seasons of highest precipitation, increasing during the dry season with values of > 33. Strong currents (> 0.25 m s-1) in a north to south direction that reached the coast and then the interior of the lagoon were observed in specific dates. Mesoscale anticyclonic eddies (with a diameter of ~30 km) were also observed in the southern gulf. High density values of both species were observed, reaching 33,619 ind 100 m-3 for L. setiferus, and 57,948 ind 100 m-3 for F. duorarum. Peaks were associated when strong surface currents were observed reaching the interior of the lagoon, which was confirmed from multivariate statistical techniques. The results presented here contribute to the understanding of the role that some environmental factors exert on the density of two species with high, both economic and ecological, value in the Terminos Lagoon, which is of critical relevance in regions recognized for their high biological diversity.

Published: September 2024

The study investigates "Optimizing Cement Stabilization for Lateritic Soil in the Takie Area of Ogbomoso" and presents a comprehensive analysis of geotechnical properties. The research encompassed particle size determination and Atterberg limits testing to classify the samples, primarily composed of lateritic soil. The results detailed the particle size distribution and indicated the soil’s composition, predominantly sand with gravel and unaccounted finer silt content. The Atterberg limits testing revealed variations in plastic and liquid limits across different cement percentages. Additionally, dynamic and static compaction tests were performed, indicating Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) and Maximum Dry Density (MDD). The static compaction involved replacing proportions of bulk sand with cement for each percentage addition. The study achieved its objective of understanding soil properties for stabilization purposes, offering insights into the impact of varying cement content on soil characteristics and compaction. The abstract emphasizes the comprehensive investigation into lateritic soil properties and the influence of cement stabilization, vital for engineering applications in the Takie area of Ogbomoso.

Effect of fluid properties on oil shale in-situ conversion performance with fracturing
Authors: Wang Bin , Wang Rui , Wang Yiwei , Su Jianzheng , Zhang Xu , Wang Haizhu , Chen Kang
Published: September 2024

This study studies the effect of flow and thermal transfer properties of
fluids with varying densities, viscosities, and thermal conductivities on
the performance of oil shale in-situ conversion process based on
multi-physics coupling simulation. Results indicate that thermal convection
primarily governs the heat transfer pro?cess in oil shale. Consequently, to
enhance the pyrolytic effects, fluids possessing high density, low viscosity
and superior thermal conductivity are recommended. This research thus
provides a foundational understanding for the selection of fluid properties
in the in-situ extraction of oil shale.

Published: September 2024

Obtaining real natural gas hydrate pressure-retaining samples is challenging, necessitating the study of in-situ condition preserved coring (ICP-Coring) technology. In this paper, we simulated the in-situ formation of natural gas hydrate using a high pressure cooling method within a self-developed formation environment simulation chamber. Drilling experiments were conducted to examine the influence of drilling parameters on low disturbance drilling processes. Our findings indicate that the feed rate of the drill pipe primarily affects the force magnitude on the drill pipe, while the rotational speed of the drill pipe significantly impacts the stability of this force, with slightly higher rotational speeds resulting in less disturbance.

Published: September 2024

Muscle sn-1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) and C18:0 ceramide accumulation in sarcolemmal and mitochondrial compartments have been proposed to regulate muscle insulin sensitivity. Here, we evaluated whether weight loss-induced improvements in insulin sensitivity were associated with changes in muscle sn-1,2-DAG and ceramide content in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes. We measured skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity, assessed by using the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp procedure in conjunction with stable isotopically labeled glucose tracer infusion, and skeletal muscle sn-1,2-DAG and ceramide contents by using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry after subcellular fractionation and DAG isomer separation in 14 adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes before and after marked (18.6 ± 2.1%) weight loss. Whole-body insulin sensitivity doubled after weight loss. Sarcolemmal sn-1,2-DAG and C18:0 ceramide contents after weight loss were not different from values before weight loss. In contrast, mitochondrial-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) C18:0 ceramide content decreased by ∼20% after weight loss (from 2.16 ± 0.08 to 1.71 ± 0.13 nmol/g, P < 0.005). These results suggest a decrease in muscle mitochondrial-ER C18:0 ceramide content could contribute to the beneficial effect of weight loss on skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity.

Инвазии агрессивных чужеродных видов, таких как гигантские борщевики, в последние годы привлекают внимание многих ботаников. При этом реакция отдельных растений на присутствие инвайдеров для большинства представителей культурной и природной флоры не изучена. В работе приведены результаты исследований функциональных признаков весеннего эфемероида Corydalis nobilis при внедрении на опытные участки Heracleum sosnowskyi. Произрастание в общем локалитете с H. sosnowskyi приводит к снижению запасов органического вещества в фитомассе C. nobilis и уменьшению вклада листьев в общую массу надземной части растений. Выявлены изменения в пигментном комплексе листьев C. nobilis, проявляющиеся в увеличенном содержании суммы хлорофиллов вначале вегетационного периода. В изученных местообитаниях C. nobilis проявляет конкурентно-рудеральную жизненную стратегию. В целом H. sosnowskyi оказывает крайне неблагоприятное воздействие на C. nobilis, и жизненность особей этого вида сильно снижается.

In recent years, invasions of aggressive alien species, such as a giant hogweed, have at- tracted the attention of many botanists. However, the response of individual plants to the presence of invaders has not been studied for most representatives of the cultivated and natural floras. The article presents the results of studying functional traits of the spring ephemeroid Corydalis nobilis when Hera- cleum sosnowskyi is introduced into experimental plots. Sharing a common locality with H. sosnowskyi causes a decrease in organic reserves of C. nobilis phytomass and reduced contribution of its leaves to the total mass of the aboveground parts of plants. We have revealed changes in the pigment complex of C. nobilis leaves, manifested as an increased content of the total chlorophyll in the beginning of the growing season. In the studied habitats, C. nobilis exhibits a competitive-ruderal life strategy. In general, H. sosnowskyi has an extremely adverse effect on C. nobilis and vitality ofthe latter.
Mollusks in the nests of passerine birds in the south-east of Belarus

Published: September 2024

Изучены сборы раковин моллюсков из 30 гнезд 11 видов воробьинообразных птиц, полученные в 2020–2024 гг. на территории Гомельской области (юго-восток Беларуси). Установлена принадлежность 139 раковин к 29 видам моллюсков из 19 семейств. На основании повреждений раковин и их состояния обсуждаются три способа, посредством которых раковины могли оказаться в птичьих гнездах: как добыча пернатых, в ходе самостоятельных перемещений улиток или же в результате переноса птицами уже пустых раковин.

The material was collected in the period from 2020 to 2024 on the territory of the Gomel region (south-east of Belarus). In 30 nests of 11 species of passerine birds, we have found 139 shells belonging to 29 species of mollusks of 19 families. Based on the shells’ state and their damage, three ways of the material appearance in the bird nests are discussed: 1) as a prey of birds, 2) a result of snails’ migration, 3) bringing of empty shells by birds.

Представлены результаты исследований зоопланктона озер Бородаевского и Ферапонтовского (Национальный парк «Русский Север», Вологодская область) в 1975, 2008 и 2021 гг. Зоопланктон водоемов сходен по составу. Всего в озерах зарегистрировано 70 видов зоопланктона (Rotifera – 21, Cladocera – 32, Copepoda – 17). Ранее в озерах был отмечен реликтовый Limnocalanus macrurus. Обилие зоопланктона выше в более мелководном оз. Бородаевском. Соотношение групп зоопланктона в водоемах в отдельные периоды исследований сходно. Наибольшая численность характерна для ракообразных. Комплекс доминантов насчитывал 5–7 видов (Kellicottia longispina, Diaphanosoma brachyurum, Daphnia сucullata, D. сristata, Bosmina coregoni, Mesocyclops leuckarti, Thermocyclops oithonoides). Обилие зоопланктеров в озерах зависело от температуры воды. При ее увеличении на 5 °С летом 2021 г. наблюдался рост численности и биомассы зоопланктона глубоководных участков озер.

The zooplankton of the lakes Borodaevskoe and Ferapontovskoe (Russky Sever (Russian North) National Park) has been studied in 1975, 2008, and 2021. The zooplankton composition is similar in the lakes. In total, 70 zooplankton species are registered (21 species of Rotifera, Cladocera, 32, Copep- oda, 17). The relict species Limnocalanus macrurus has been found earlier in the lakes. The zooplankton abundance is higher in the shallower Lake Borodaevskoye. The ratio of zooplankton groups in the water bodies was similar throughout the study period, with crustaceans as dominating group. The core of dom- inants includes 5 to 7 species (Kellicottia longispina, Diaphanosoma brachyurum, Daphnia сucullata, D. сristata, Bosmina coregoni, Mesocyclops leuckarti, and Thermocyclops oithonoides). The zooplankton abundance depends on the water temperature. As the latter has increased by 5 °С in summer 2021, there was an increase in the abundance and biomass of zooplankton in deep water areas of the studied lakes.

Subject: We aimed to evaluate the recovery rate of Sporothrix spp. isolates maintained for years through the mineral oil technique. Methods: Two hundred and seventeen isolates of Sporothrix spp. from the fungal collection of the Mycology Laboratory of Faculdade de Medicina - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FAMED-FURG), Southern Brazil, with a mean period of storage of five years, were included in the study. Isolates were subcultured in duplicate on Sabouraud dextrose agar and on brain heart infusion agar. Results: Of the 217 isolates, only 16.6% (n = 36) were recovered. The median period of storage was similar between the viable (n = 36) and non-viable (n = 181) isolates, being 5.8 years and 4.7 years, respectively (p ˃ 0.05). Conclusion: Considering the low rate of Sporothrix spp. recovery using mineral oil, we reject to use this methodology and strongly recommend another storage methods to guarantee the maintenance of viable Sporothrix spp. isolates in fungal cultures.

Published: September 2024

The problems of monitoring and assessing the state of the agricultural sector as an integral part of food security of the country are considered. Along with other countries, Ukraine is one of the world's leading food security countries. Grain production is one of the leading industries in the agricultural sector. Ukraine is one of the largest exporters of grain and pulses in the world. The structure of sown areas in Ukraine by types of crops is analyzed, and the main problems in connection with active hostilities in certain regions are identified. The key problems of reducing the total gross harvest, the disruption of supply chains and, as a result, the increase in the food prices around the world have been identified. Due to the growing global food crisis around the world, ensuring food security has become a primary and priority task. The article analyzes the indicators used to assess food security. The need to make adjustments to the approaches to optimizing the grain crops areas in Ukraine in the conditions of military operations and their consequences in the future was substantiated. To minimize the consequences, it is necessary to protect and support the agricultural production in Ukraine under the martial law as soon as possible. There is a list of the main measures that will help improve food security under military occupation.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE SCHEME OF NEUTRALIZATION OF DUST EMISSIONS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Latsyk Nataliia , Petrushka Ihor ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: September 2024

Emissions of industrial enterprises in their structure are mostly aerodisperse systems, in which the dispersed phase is organic and inorganic dust or fine droplets, and the dispersion phase is a gas-air mixture. This mixture may comprise several contaminating gaseous components. In many cases, the components of the exhaust gases have an additive effect or are capable of transforming into more dangerous compounds, which in the conditions of background concentrations characteristic of most industrialized areas makes them dangerous even at relatively low concentrations in emissions. This problem is exacerbated by changes in industrial infrastructure, the convergence of industrial and residential areas, as well as the emergence of new toxic substances with an insufficiently studied effect. At present, dust is becoming one of the priority pollutants that must be considered when organizing monitoring of the surrounding air. Atmospheric monitoring of dust pollution of the air, being a complex modern task, allows us to determine the actual data on air quality, dust concentration, and trends in its change, and assess the degree of damage caused to human health. We conducted a detailed analysis of the literary data and proposed an influence scheme of fine dust on the environment and ways to improve the neutralization scheme of pollutants on the biosphere, in particular the atmosphere.

The article describes the results of experimental studies of the kinetic regularities of beet pulp drying by the filtration method. The influence of the main process parameters on the rate of moisture removal, including the height of the wet layer of material H (0,04 m, 0,08 m, 0,12 m, 0,16 m), temperature T (60 °C, 70 °C, 80 °C, 90 °C) and the velocity of the thermal agent v0 (1.24 m/sec, 1.76 m/sec, 2.29 m/sec, 2.82 m/sec), was investigated. The kinetic dependencies for the periods of complete and partial saturation of the thermal flow with moisture were derived. This allows us to describe the change in the material moisture content and duration of the filtration drying process. Verifying of the accuracy of the obtained dependencies presents a maximum relative error of 36.54 % and an average deviation of 8.46 %, which is acceptable for practical calculations of drying equipment.

Background: Utilizing health literacy is important in establishing knowledgeable health advancements and practices, which can become deterrents to promoting a healthy lifestyle. Technological advancements improve health information availability and accessibility that potentially affect the users’ proficiency and their capability in applying the accessed health information. However, accessing health information via IT for health promotion requires e-health literacy.
Purpose: The objective of the study is to determine the relationship between eHealth literacy and health-promoting lifestyle behaviors among nursing students.
Methods: Descriptive-correlational study was applied to 131 nursing students recruited through a purposive sampling method from a nursing school in Philippines. The researchers adopted original English version of the e-Health Literacy Scale and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP) to collect the data.  The gathered data were analyzed using descriptive analysis; frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and test the correlation using Pearson's r correlation.
Results: A total of 131 nursing students were employed in the study with a mean age of 20.14 (±1.22). Participants were female (71.8%) and are Level 1 students (44.3%) The mean of the total sum score for eHealth literacy was 31.24 (±4.30) while the over-all item mean was 3.92 (±0.54). On the other hand, the health-promoting behavior has a mean score of 2.43 (±0.43) while its subscales have a mean score of 2.46 (±0.45) for nutrition, 2.45 (±0.62) for physical activity, and 2.39 (±0.47) for health responsibility. It was found that eHealth literacy had a significant relationship with the students’ health-promoting behavior (r=0.245, p=0.005). Hence, students who have a high level of eHealth literacy are more inclined to perform healthy behaviors.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the development of strategies to improve the e-health literacy of nursing students may contribute to the maintenance of their health-promoting behaviors. Identified intervention strategies based on eHealth literacy are needed to encourage healthy practices, which may reduce risks of illnesses due to unhealthy lifestyle behaviors among nursing students.

O lugar onde vivemos e envelhecemos pode ser favorável à vida caso atenda às demandas de uma existência digna, desde o cotidiano, até os sonhos e o futuro que projetamos. É na cidade que a vida acontece, seja nos espaços de moradia, seja nos ambientes do entorno residencial influenciado por desafios socioeconômicos e da estrutura física e ambiental. A análise do envelhecimento no Brasil leva em consideração as desigualdades sociais influentes na expectativa de vida e no número de pessoas idosas em cada região, afetadas por oportunidades de trabalho, renda, direitos, acesso a bens públicos e de mercado, educação, entre outros. O número de pessoas idosas no país alcança 32 milhões – 15% da população geral que totaliza cerca de 203 milhões – conforme o Censo 2022. Contar com uma cidade que atenda às demandas das pessoas idosas requer mudanças nas políticas e um entorno construído para responder de maneira adequada às capacidades e recursos dessas pessoas, antecipando-se em respostas flexíveis. Para melhorar a qualidade de vida da população idosa, é necessário superar as barreiras existentes por meio do planejamento urbano e da redefinição dos modelos vigentes, promovendo, assim, a independência e a autonomia ao longo da velhice. Neste artigo analisaremos utilizando uma metodologia exploratória e descritiva, de natureza qualitativa e aplicada, alguns dos problemas que as cidades brasileiras enfrentam em relação aos idosos e proporemos algumas respostas para esses problemas, olhando para as soluções adotadas por cidades de outros países.
The educational space as a facilitating element of gamification in the classroom

Gamification is an active methodology of great value that, in a quality educational environment, provides students with the necessary motivation to participate in their teaching-learning process. An emerging active methodology, which is based on the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and requires an educational space that guarantees greater flexibility in the pedagogical dynamics in favor of academic achievement. This increase in interest in active methodologies, and specifically in gamification, has raised doubts about whether current educational spaces are prepared to host a renewal in methodology or if, on the contrary, they could undermine the attitude of change. For this reason, this research seeks to analyze whether current educational spaces are facilitating elements for the incorporation of gamification in the classroom. The methodological cut of the research is quantitative, specifically in two phases. On the one hand, a descriptive analysis of the results is carried out, obtaining information on the trend of each item. On the other hand, an inferential analysis is carried out around different variables to verify their possible influence on the evaluations of the participants. The results obtained, in the sample made up of 210 teachers distributed in the different centers and who carry out their educational activity from 3rd to 6th grade of primary school, indicate that teachers believe it is relevant to take into account the educational space when incorporating active methodologies in class.
The effect of external integration of supply chain on Oman container ports’ operational performance: The mediating role of supply chain management practices

The operational performance of container ports is crucial for efficient logistics and trade. However, there is limited understanding of how external integration through Customer and Supplier Integration (SCI-CI and SCI-SI) impacts port operational performance (POP), particularly in emerging markets like Oman. This study addresses this gap by examining the relationship between SCI-CI, SCI-SI, and POP, and explores the mediating role of supply chain management (SCM) practices in this context. Using the Resource-Based View (RBV) as the theoretical framework, the study employed a quantitative cross-sectional survey method. A total of 377 questionnaires were distributed to managers at Sohar and Salalah ports, with 331 usable responses obtained, representing an 88 percent response rate. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that SCI-CI and SCI-SI have significant direct and indirect positive effects on POP, and they directly influence SCM practices. SCM practices, in turn, significantly enhance POP. Notably, SCM practices partially mediate the relationship between SCI-CI and SCI-SI with POP. These findings underscore the strategic importance of external integration and SCM practices as internal resources for improving port performance. This research provides valuable insights for decision-makers and policymakers in optimizing port operations.

Flies are often found in poultry facilities due to the utilization of bird faeces as a substrate for their larval development. Despite the use of pesticides for fly control in poultry houses, the potential contribution of natural enemies in assisting with fly control deserves attention. This study aimed to assess the diversity and abundance of predatory and phoretic mites associated with flies in two laying hens poultry houses in Minas Gerais, Brazil (ASA and GSJ). By placing 24 pan traps around the sheds of each poultry house, we captured adult flies and mites adhering to these flies over the course of three samplings in each poultry house. Musca domestica was found to be the most abundant fly species in both places. Phoretic, predatory and saprophagous mites belonging to the genera Prodinychus, Parasitus, Sejus, Callidosoma, Macrocheles, Eupodes and the family Nothridae were collected at GSJ. In contrast, only one mite genus, Trichotrombidium was found at ASA. In addition, a notable contrast in mite abundance was observed between the two poultry houses, with a total of 181 mite specimens associated with flies in the GSJ, compared to 13 in the ASA. While these findings underscore the presence of a diverse mite community associated with flies in poultry houses, we discuss the potential factors contributing to the observed differences between them, shedding light on the ecological contribution of mites within poultry houses.

This study investigates the drag coefficient of three models of suborbital rockets with different nosecones. A test section allowing for force measurement of a 1:50 scale rocket model was designed with the aid of numerical simulations. The velocity obtained in the wind tunnel corresponds with a Mach number of 2.45. RANS simulations were used in verifying operating parameters, as well as testing the support configurations for connecting the model with the bottom wall of the tunnel section. Pressure distribution measurements on the top and bottom walls of the wind tunnel matched simulation results well. The shock structure in the test section was visualized using the schlieren technique, revealing that the measured angle of the main shock generated at the tip of the rocket matched the simulation data. Finally, the measured forces were compared with simulations for one of the nosecone configurations. Despite very good agreement for pressure distribution on the wind tunnel walls and shock structure, a significant mismatch in the forces measured was nevertheless observed: the simulated CD (0.57) being four times larger than that obtained in measurements (0.138). Further analysis of the test section is required to pinpoint the source of discrepancies and redesign the force measurement system to achieve improved force results.
