Authors: Šablatúrová Nika , Gottfried Jaroslav , Blinka Lukas , Ševčíková Anna , Husarova Daniela
Published: November 2021

Background

Both eating disorders and excessive internet use represent significant health issues for contemporary adolescents. Yet, the link between them has seldom been investigated. We aim to study this association through their common underlying psychological factors: internalising problems and externalising problems.

Methods

A representative sample of 7,083 adolescents (Mage = 13.48 years; SDage = 1.32; 50.3% girls) from Slovakia was obtained from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) project in 2018. Study variables included the Excessive Internet Use Scale (EIU) and the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Eating disorders symptoms (EDS) were assessed by SCOFF and selected items from the Eating Disorder Screen for Primary Care (ESP). Data were analysed separately for boys and girls with Structural Equation Modelling.

Results

There was a partial correlation between EDS and EIU (r = 0.36 for boys and r = 0.29 for girls) after controlling for the internalising and externalising of problems. Internalising and externalising problems were positively associated with EDS, while EIU was only associated with externalising problems. The results were comparable for both genders.

Conclusion

The study provides evidence that, during adolescence, EDS and EIU are related and have a tendency to occur together. Also, they are related even when controlled for their shared underlying psychological factors, namely the emotional and attentional/behavioural difficulties.

Published: November 2021

Background

Indices obtained from lymph node dissection specimens, specifically lymph node yield (LNY) and lymph node ratio (LNR), have prognostic significance in the setting of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCCa). However, there are currently no validated tools to estimate adequacy of planned lymph node dissection using preoperative data. The present study sought to evaluate CT-derived estimates of lymphatic tissue volumes as a preoperative tool to guide cervical node dissection.

Methods

Fifteen cervical lymph node dissections were performed in 14 subjects with HNSCCa. Preoperative CT-derived estimates of lymphatic tissue volumes were compared with gross pathology tissue volume estimates and pathologically-determined LNY.

Results

Resected tissue volume (calculated using the triaxial ellipsoid method) correlates with CT-derived preoperative lymphatic volume estimates (r = 0.74, p = 0.003) while LNY does not(r = − 0.12, p = 0.67). When excluding pathologically enlarged lymph nodes (“refined” data), a negative correlation was observed between refined CT-derived volume estimates and refined LNY (r = − 0.65, p = 0.009).

Conclusion

In the setting of cervical lymph node dissection, CT-derived lymphatic volume estimates correlate with resected tissue volume, but refined CT-derived volume estimates correlate negatively with refined LNY.

Self-reported mask-related worrying reduces relative avoidance bias toward unmasked faces in individuals with low Covid19 anxiety syndrome
Authors: Krishna Anand , Rodrigues Johannes , Mitschke Vanessa , Eder Andreas B.
Published: November 2021

Facial masks have become and may remain ubiquitous. Though important for preventing infection, they may also serve as a reminder of the risks of disease. Thus, they may either act as cues for threat, priming avoidance-related behavior, or as cues for a safe interaction, priming social approach. To distinguish between these possibilities, we assessed implicit and explicit evaluations of masked individuals as well as avoidance bias toward relatively unsafe interactions with unmasked individuals in an approach-avoidance task in an online study. We further assessed Covid19 anxiety and specific attitudes toward mask-wearing, including mask effectiveness and desirability, hindrance of communication from masks, aesthetic appeal of masks, and mask-related worrying. Across one sample of younger (18–35 years, N = 147) and one of older adults (60+ years, N = 150), we found neither an average approach nor avoidance bias toward mask-wearing compared to unmasked individuals in the indirect behavior measurement task. However, across the combined sample, self-reported mask-related worrying correlated with reduced avoidance tendencies toward unmasked individuals when Covid19 anxiety was low, but not when it was high. This relationship was specific to avoidance tendencies and was not observed in respect to explicit or implicit preference for mask-wearing individuals. We conclude that unsafe interaction styles may be reduced by targeting mask-related worrying with public interventions, in particular for populations that otherwise have low generalized Covid19 anxiety.
Current status of alert alien species management for the establishment of proactive management systems in Korea
Authors: Son Seung Hun , Jo A-Ram , Kim Dong Eon
Published: November 2021

Background

Some of the introduced alien species introduced settle, multiply, and spread to become invasive alien species (IAS) that threaten biodiversity. To prevent this, Korea and other countries legally designate and manage alien species that pose a risk to the environment. Moreover, 2160 alien species have been introduced in South Korea, of which 1826 animals and 334 plants are designated. The inflow of IAS can have negative effects such as ecosystem disturbance, habitat destruction, economic damage, and health damage to humans. To prevent damage caused by the inflow of IAS in advance, species that could potentially pose a risk to the environment if introduced in South Korea were designated as alert alien species (AAS).

Results

The designation criteria were in accordance with the “Act on the Conservation and Use of Biological Diversity” and the “Regulations on the Ecological Risk Assessment of AAS and IAS” by the National Institute of Ecology. The analysis result of risk and damage cases indicated that mammals affect predation, competition, human economic activity, virus infection, and parasite infection. Birds have been demonstrated to affect predation, competition, human economic activity, and health. It was indicated that plants intrude on the ecosystem by competing with native species with their high-population density and capacity to multiply and cause allergic inducement. Interestingly, 300 species, including 25 mammals, 7 birds, 84 fishes, 28 amphibians, 22 reptiles, 1 insect, 32 spiders, 1 mollusk, 1 arthropod, and 99 plants, are included in the list of AAS.

Conclusions

AAS designation plays a role in preventing the reduction of biodiversity by IAS in South Korea and preserving native species. Moreover, it is determined to provide considerable economic benefits by preventing socio-economic losses and ecological damage.
Dust and sandstorm: ecosystem perspectives on dryland hazards in Northeast Asia: a review
Authors: Kang Sinkyu , Lee Sang Hun , Cho Nanghyun , Aggossou Casmir , Chun Jungwha
Published: November 2021

Background

A review of the literature was carried out to study dust and sandstorm (DSS) in terms of its ecosystem processes and relationship to other dryland disasters in Northeast Asia. Drylands are ecosystems that include grasslands, semi-deserts, and deserts, and these types of ecosystems are vulnerable due to their low primary productivity that depends on a small amount of precipitation.

Results

Drought, dust, desertification, and winter livestock disasters (called dzud) are unique natural disasters that affect the region. These disasters are related in that they share major causes, such as dryness and low vegetation cover that combine with other conditions, wind, cold waves, livestock, and land-surface energy, to dramatically impact the ecosystem.

Conclusions

The literature review in this study illustrates the macroscopic context of the spatial and temporal patterns of DSS according to geography, climate, and vegetation growth in the drylands of Northeast Asia. The effects of ocean climates and human activities were discussed to infer a possible teleconnection effect of DSS and its relations to desertification and dzud.

Published: November 2021

Background

Sea turtles, which are globally endangered species, have been stranded and found as bycatch on the Korean shore recently. More studies on sea turtles in Korea are necessary to aid their conservation. To investigate the spatio-temporal occurrence patterns of sea turtles on the Korean shore, we recorded sampling locations and dates, identified species and sexes and measured sizes (maximum curved carapace length; CCL) of collected sea turtles from the year 2014 to 2020. For an analysis of diets through stomach contents, we identified the morphology of the remaining food and extracted DNA, followed by amplification, cloning, and sequencing.

Results

A total of 62 stranded or bycaught sea turtle samples were collected from the Korean shores during the study period. There were 36 loggerhead turtles, which were the dominant species, followed by 19 green turtles, three hawksbill turtles, two olive ridley turtles, and two leatherback turtles. The highest numbers were collected in the year 2017 and during summer among the seasons. In terms of locations, most sea turtles were collected from the East Sea, especially from Pohang. Comparing the sizes of collected sea turtles according to species, the average CCL of loggerhead turtles was 79.8 cm, of green turtles was 73.5 cm, and of the relatively large leatherback turtle species was 126.2 cm. In most species, the proportion of females was higher than that of males and juveniles, and was more than 70% across all the species. Food remains were morphologically identified from 19 stomachs, mainly at class level. Seaweeds were abundant in stomachs of green turtles, and Bivalvia was the most detected food item in loggerhead turtles. Based on DNA analysis, food items from a total of 26 stomachs were identified to the species or genus level. The gulfweed, Sargassum thunbergii, and the kelp species, Saccharina japonica, were frequently detected from the stomachs of green turtles and the jellyfish, Cyanea nozakii, the swimming crab, Portunus trituberculatus, and kelps had high frequencies of occurrences in loggerhead turtles.

Conclusions

Our findings support those of previous studies suggesting that sea turtles are steadily appearing in the Korean sea. In addition, we verified that fish and seaweed, which inhabit the Korean sea, are frequently detected in the stomach of sea turtles. Accordingly, there is a possibility that sea turtles use the Korean sea as feeding grounds and habitats. These results can serve as basic data for the conservation of globally endangered sea turtles.
Proximate composition and bioaccumulation of heavy metals in edible Achatina spp in some rural agro-settlements, south-east Nigeria
Authors: Nnamonu Emmanuel I. , Odo Gregory E. , Ajuzie Ifeanyi O. , Nwani Chritopher D.
Published: November 2021

Background

Animals that live and feed on the soil and its constituents and products naturally absorb heavy metals and pass to other organisms linked in the food chains. The present study was designed to examine bioaccumulation of heavy metals levels and proximate composition quality in edible Achatina spp sampled in agro-rural settlements, south-east Nigeria.

Results

The proximate composition recorded the presence of moisture, protein, crude fibre, fat and oil, ash, carbohydrates, nitrogen and calcium, which were similar across selected Achatina spp except for calcium, which was significantly higher in A. achatina. The bioaccumulation factors of heavy metal contents in snails were generally low (below recommended tolerable limits according to WHO standard).

Conclusion

The good number of nutrients recorded in proximate composition makes the Achatina spp an alternative to domestically farmed animals. Achatina achatina contained most calcium level compared with Achatina fulica and Achatina marginate. The bioaccumulation factors of heavy metal contents in snails were generally low (below recommended tolerable limits according to WHO standard). Land snails in our study areas were safe for consumption.

Published: November 2021

Background

Children with medical complexity (CMC) have inter-related health and social needs; however, interventions to identify and respond to social needs have not been adapted for CMC. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of implementing social needs screening and assessment within pediatric complex care programs.

Methods

We implemented systematic social needs assessment for CMC (SSNAC) at two tertiary care centers in three phases: (1) pre-implementation, (2) implementation, and (3) implementation monitoring. We utilized a multifaceted implementation package consisting of discrete implementation strategies within each phase. In phase 1, we adapted questions from evidence-informed screening tools into a 21-item SSNAC questionnaire, and we used published frameworks to inform implementation readiness and process. In phases 2–3, clinical staff deployed the SSNAC questionnaire to parents of CMC in-person or by phone as part of usual care and adapted to local clinical workflows. Staff used shared decision-making with parents and addressed identified needs by providing information about available resources, offering direct assistance, and making referrals to community agencies. Implementation outcomes included fidelity, feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness.

Results

Observations from clinical staff characterized fidelity to use of the SSNAC questionnaire, assessment template, and shared decision-making for follow-up on unmet social needs. Levels of agreement (5-point Likert scale; 1 = completely disagree; 5 = completely agree) rated by staff for key implementation outcomes were moderate to high for acceptability (mean = 4.7; range = 3–5), feasibility (mean = 4.2; range = 3–5), and appropriateness (mean = 4.6; range = 4-5). 49 SSNAC questionnaires were completed with a 91% response rate. Among participating parents, 37 (76%) reported ≥ 1 social need, including food/nutrition benefits (41%), housing (18%), and caregiver needs (29%). Staff responses included information provision (41%), direct assistance (30%), and agency referral (30%).

Conclusions

It was feasible for tertiary care center-based pediatric complex care programs to implement a standardized social needs assessment for CMC to identify and address parent-reported unmet social needs.

Comprehensive identification of conditionally essential genes requires efficient tools for generating high-density transposon libraries that, ideally, can be analysed using next-generation sequencing methods such as Transposon Directed Insertion-site Sequencing (TraDIS). The Himar1 (mariner) transposon is ideal for generating near-saturating mutant libraries, especially in AT-rich chromosomes, as the requirement for integration is a TA dinucleotide, and this transposon has been used for mutagenesis of a wide variety of bacteria. However, plasmids for mariner delivery do not necessarily work well in all bacteria. In particular, there are limited tools for functional genomic analysis of Pasteurellaceae species of major veterinary importance, such as swine and cattle pathogens, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida, respectively. Here, we developed plasmids, pTsodCPC9 and pTlacPC9 (differing only in the promoter driving expression of the transposase gene), that allow delivery of mariner into both these pathogens, but which should also be applicable to a wider range of bacteria. Using the pTlacPC9 vector, we have generated, for the first time, saturating mariner mutant libraries in both A. pleuropneumoniae and P. multocida that showed a near random distribution of insertions around the respective chromosomes as detected by TraDIS. A preliminary screen of 5000 mutants each identified 8 and 14 genes, respectively, that are required for growth under anaerobic conditions. Future high-throughput screening of the generated libraries will facilitate identification of mutants required for growth under different conditions, including in vivo, highlighting key virulence factors and pathways that can be exploited for development of novel therapeutics and vaccines.

Published: November 2021

With increasing subspecialised experience in radical cytoreductive surgery and intra-abdominal chemotherapy for peritoneal malignancy, outcomes have improved significantly in selected patients. The surgery and the treatment regimens are radical and therefore correct patient selection is critical. The radiologist plays a central role in this process by estimating, as precisely as possible, the pre-treatment disease burden. Because of the nature of the disease process, accurate staging is not an easy task. Tumour deposits may be very small and in locations where they are very difficult to detect. It must be acknowledged that no form of modern day imaging has the capability of detecting the smallest peritoneal nodules, which may only be visible to direct inspection or histopathological evaluation. Nonetheless, it behoves the radiologist to be as exact and precise as possible in the reporting of this disease process. This is both to select patients who are likely to benefit from radical treatment, and just as importantly, to identify patients who are unlikely to achieve adequate cytoreductive outcomes. In this review, we outline the patterns of spread of disease and the anatomic basis for this, as well as the essential aspects of reporting abdominal studies in this patient group. We provide an evidence-based update on the relative strengths and limitations of our available multimodality imaging techniques namely CT, MRI and positron emission tomography/CT.

Published: November 2021

Big data analytics involve systematic approach to find hidden patterns to help the organization grow from large volume and variety of data. In recent years big data analytics is widely used in the agricultural domain to improve yield. Viticulture (the cultivation of grapes) is one of the most lucrative farming in India. It is a subdivision of horticulture and is the study of wine growing. The demand for Indian Wine is increasing at about 27% each year since the 21st century and thus more and more ways are being developed to improve the quality and quantity of the wine products. In this paper, we focus on a specific agricultural practice as viticulture. Weather forecasting and disease detection are the two main research areas in precision viticulture. Leaf disease detection as a part of plant pathology is the key research area in this paper. It can be applied on vineyards of India where farmers are bereft of the latest technologies. Proposed system architecture comprises four modules: Data collection, data preprocessing, classification and visualization. Database module involve grape leaf dataset, consists of healthy images combined with disease leaves such as Black measles, Black rot, and Leaf blight. Models have been implemented on Apache Hadoop using map reduce programming framework. It apply feature extraction to extract various features of the live images and classification algorithm with reduced computational complexity. Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) followed by K-Nearest Neighborhood (KNN) algorithm. System also recommends the necessary steps and remedies that the viticulturists can take to assure that the grapes can be salvaged at the right time and in the right manner based on classification results. Overall system will help Indian viticulturists to improve the harvesting process. Accuracy of the model is 72% and it can be increased as a future work by including deep learning with time series grape leaf images.

Published: November 2021

As the trend of technology shrinking continues a vast amount of processors are being incorporated in a limited space. Due to this almost half of the chip area in Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chips (MPSoCs) is under interconnections, which pose a big problem for communication. Network-on-Chips (NoCs) evolved as a significant scalable solution for removing wiring congestion and communication problem in MPSoCs. NoCs provide the advantage of customized architecture, increased scalability and bandwidth. NoC is a structured framework where communication is the prime concern. In this review paper we present an overview of research and design approaches in the communication centric areas of NoCs. Here we have tried to discuss and iterate most of the available work done for communication in 2D NoCs. This paper gives the insight of different attributes and performance parameters of NoCs. Further it gives a detailed description of how topology, flow control and routing mechanisms can affect the qualitative aspects (performance) of NoCs. It then explains how various attributes of routing can help in increasing the efficacy of NoCs. Subsequently a brief review of different simulators used for NoCs is given. All of this is provided based on the survey of academic, theoretical and experimental approaches presented in the past. Finally some suggestions for future work are also given.

This position paper aims to identify the current and future challenges in application, workload or service deployment mechanisms in Cloud-to-Edge environments. We argue that the adoption of the microservices and unikernels on large scale is adding new entries on the list of requirements of a deployment mechanism, but offers an opportunity to decentralize the associated processes and improve the scalability of the applications. Moreover, the deployment in Cloud-to-Edge environment needs the support of federated machine learning.

RELATIONSHIP OF ACCOUNTING AND STATISTICAL ACCOUNTING OF LOGISTIC COSTS IN THE INTEGRATED BUSINESS STRUCTURE
Authors: Gizatullina Olga
Published: November 2021

For economic entities, business partnerships are not based on individual competition or improving individual business processes, but on improving supply chains. When making management decisions, the question arises about the performance indicators of business processes both at the level of an economic entity and at the macro level. When assessing the effectiveness of supply chains, it is necessary to assess the costs arising in the course of financial and economic activities. The logistics component has a large share in the supply costs. A full accounting of logistics costs allows you to obtain reliable information for the analysis and development of measures to reduce them, which increases the efficiency of the entire economic activity of an economic entity. The article proposes a classification of logistics costs according to the degree of added value creation and dependence on the volume of production, including the allocation of transaction costs, which make up a significant share in the overall structure of logistics costs. The classification of logistics costs should be transformed depending on the organizational and legal form of the organization and the field of activity. The system of accounting for the logistics costs of economic entities should highlight them when implementing all logistics functions; study information about the most significant logistics costs and the nature of their occurrence; study the interdependencies of logistics costs throughout the entire supply chain. The developed system allows keeping separate accounting of logistics costs on a separate account, which makes it possible to control them. In modern conditions, organizations are faced with the need to integrate various types of accounting, including accounting, management and statistical. The algorithm for the implementation of this task includes four stages: development of a methodology for the integration of accounting, management and statistical accounting; formation of management accounting policies; development of data transformation regulations; selection of software for the automation of statistical, accounting and management accounting

Published: November 2021

The increased attention to the topic of digital agriculture on the part of the state and high competition contribute to the use of new technological mechanisms and methods of work by agricultural producers, which are based on the use of Internet technologies, satellite navigation, robotics, sensors and sensors, and unmanned vehicles. One of the most important branches of agriculture that ensures the country's food security is crop production. For the development of crop production, it is necessary to solve the problems of reducing the quantity and quality of the resulting crop due to inadequate nutrition and care, untimely harvesting and improper storage. To increase the efficiency and sustainability of the industry, digitalization is required, both of production systems and decision-making processes at all levels of management. The purpose of the study is to develop recommendations to improve the efficiency of the crop management system based on digital technologies. The study examines the stages of a digital crop management system: accounting of sown areas with the maintenance of an electronic map of fields; organization of crop rotation, taking into account the organizational, soil-climatic and economic aspects of production; monitoring the performance of technological operations; control over agricultural machinery with the formation of primary documents for accounting for work performed; maintaining a subsystem of material resources using precision farming; filling out technological maps and accounting for the actual work performed, reflecting the list of works, the composition of agricultural units, the timing of operations, the rates of production and consumption of fuel, the need for seeds, fertilizers, plant protection products, the cost of resources. The digitalization of agricultural processes makes it possible to increase yields, productivity and efficiency in the use of material resources, technology and human potential
THE INTENSITY OF CARBON UPTAKE BY FIELD CROPS, DEPENDING ON THE CULTIVATION TECHNOLOGY IN THE REPUBLIC OF TATARSTAN
Authors: Amirov Marat
Published: November 2021

Carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis and the intensity of this process depends on the solar radiation coming to this territory, the temperature regime, the availability of moisture and batteries. The amount of CO2 absorbed by plants is determined by the accumulated dry biomass or yield. The potential yield of field crops in production conditions is not always achieved. The paper presents the results of studies on the effect of calculated doses of mineral fertilizers on various types of soils with different moisture indicators on the formation of dry biomass by spring durum wheat. Field experiments were carried out on gray forest soils in 2005-2008, which occupy 43.7% of agricultural land in the Republic of Tatarstan and chernozems in 2001-2003, occupying 39.9%. The assimilation of mineral nutrition elements from soil and fertilizers by plants is influenced not only by the type of soil, but also by the availability of productive moisture. In the studies of 1984-1987, the effect of fertilizers and irrigation on the intensity of accumulation of dry biomass by spring durum wheat was studied. The use of calculated doses of mineral fertilizers on leached chernozems on average for 1984-1987 increased the accumulation of dry biomass of spring durum wheat by 45.6%, and in combination with irrigation by another 57.4%. In the experiments of 2001-2003, calculated doses of mineral fertilizers increased the accumulation of dry biomass by 20.7% on the chernozems of the Transcamian region of the Republic of Tatarstan, and by 13.6% on the gray forest soils of the Pre-Kama region in 2005-2008

Published: November 2021

This article discusses a new method of utilizing carbon-containing waste into biogas with the addition of a biological active additive Mefosfon to the substrate in order to accelerate the process of obtaining biogas and preserve nutrients in the final product - organic fertilizer. The experiments were carried out in a small-volume biogas plant (MBU) without air access in a heat-insulated reactor filled to 2/3. The results of numerical studies of the conversion products of cattle manure are presented. The manure was kept in the reactor for 7 days. The use of the drug Mefosfon in ultra-low concentrations (10-4) made it possible to obtain a useful product in the form of high-quality organic biofertilizers and biogas. The conducted microbiological analysis of the experiments showed that in the experiment with the use of the drug Mefosfon, the content of enterococci and bacteria of the Escherichia coli group were lower than in the experiment without the drug Mefosfon. Bioconversion of the organic component of the substrate allows the use of waste in agriculture as organic fertilizers. Such processing can significantly reduce the dry weight of the treated organic waste and reduce the content of pathogenic microorganisms Salmonella spp. and Enterococcus spp., bacteriophage FX174, Ascarissuumova.

Mefosfon reduces the time of maturation and neutralization of carbon-containing agricultural waste, which indicates the prospects of its use. After processing waste in a small-volume biogas plant, there are no pathogenic pathogenic microflora, helminth eggs, weed seeds, nitrites and nitrates. The final nitrogen content of the Mephosphon treated substrate is higher than that of the untreated substrate. The acidity values in the substrate pH 6.7 in the untreated and 7.5 in the treated substrate. Studies have shown that when the drug Mefosfon is added to the substrate, the release of biogas begins on 1-2 days and lasts up to 7 days. In this case, the biogas yield increases up to 25% compared to the use of the control substrate without the use of the Mefosfon preparation. The drug has found application in plant growing, animal husbandry, reclamation of contaminated soils

The scheme of the experiment provided for the study of variants of technologies for spring wheat, differing in the main tillage, the number of operations in the technological process against the background of the use of mineral fertilizers and plant protection products: traditional technology-plowing to a depth of 23 ... 25 cm (control); resource-saving technology − non-fall processing at 23 ... 25 cm; minimum technology-without autumn main processing, sowing was carried out on treated stubble in spring. The yield of spring wheat in wet 2017 according to the traditional technology was 4.21 t/ha, according to the resource − saving one – 4.15 t/ha, according to the minimum one-4.12 t/ha, or 0.09 t/ha lower than according to the traditional one. In the dry year of 2018, the yield for the resource – saving technology was 2.72 t/ha, for the traditional one – 2.08 t/ha, for the minimum one – 2.03 t/ha, which is 0.64 and 0.69 t/ha lower than for the resource-saving one. In a moderately dry 2019, according to traditional and resource-saving technologies, the wheat yield was the same-3.39 and 3.40 t/ha, and at the minimum it was lower by 0.14 and 0.15 t/ha. The developed models of resource-saving and minimal agricultural technologies allow to preserve soil fertility, reduce costs by 3.0...5.5%, reduce the cost of grain by 2.5...8.4 %, increase the efficiency and profitability of spring wheat grain production by 65 ... 75%

In order to highlight the sources of economically valuable traits in 2017-2018 years, 131 varieties of pea collection (Pisum sativum L.) were clustered using a hierarchical agglomerative algoritm based on the minimum of Euclidean distanced. Under conditions with sufficient moisture (2017, GTC=1.35) and moisture deficit (2018, GTC=0.76) in two morphological groups different in leaf type, the varieties were combined into clasters according to similar yield values (g/m2), the protein content in seeds (%) and the duration of the growing season (day) from full germinition to economic maturation. In 2017, in groups with a leafless and a common type leaf, eight clusters were distinguished in each of them, in arid conditions (2018), their number was, respectively, nine and seven. For use in breeding to increase the gross yield of protein, clusters with high yields and protein content are proposed, mainly in the leafless group, which have a higher resistance to lodging. In this morphological group, under conditions with suficient moisture varieties of the sixth cluster Yamalsky, Yamal-2, Aksaysky 55, Stepnyak, Krasnoufimskiy 11, Berkut, Terno with a yield of 380-492 g/m2 and a protein content of 23.23...27.81%, in arid conditions (2018) the varieties of the fifth cluster Faraon, Fokor, L-1599, Pamjat Khangildina, Samarius with indicators, respectively, 268...312 g/m2) and 22.61...22.93% were distinguished. In 2017 among the leaf varieties of the fourth cluster Kudesnik, Argon, L-2516 with the combination of high values of productivity (400...428 g/m2) and protein content in seeds (23.67...25.32%), UG-95888-2, in 2018 varieties of the fifth cluster Intensive 92, Janus, Chishminsky 229 with indicators of 268...320 g/m2 and 22.51...25.42% were distinguished. Varieties Veles and Kazanets with consistently high yields (304-328 g/m2, CV = 0.6 ... 1.3%) are of breeding value as sources of drought resistance

Published: November 2021

A significant disadvantage of rural distribution electric grids of 0.4 kV is the lack of the ability to operate their configuration. This disadvantage leads to a decrease in the reliability of electricity supply and significant damage to rural consumers from interruptions in electricity supply. A promising direction is the introduction of distributed generation based on renewable energy sources (RES), electricity storage devices into the structure of rural electric grids and the construction of microgrids based on them. However, the issues of building rural microgrids have not been worked out today, the search for rational options for their structure is being conducted all over the world, the development of equipment for their construction is underway. Therefore, the purpose of the research presented in the article is to determine the tasks and strategies for operating the configuration of rural microgrids containing renewable energy sources (RES) based on the use of means of partitioning and reserving the electric grid, that is, means of controlling its configuration and means of monitoring the parameters of its operation modes. As a means of partitioning and reserving the electric grid, it is proposed to use multi-contact switching systems installed at the points of branches in the grid and equipped with sensors for the parameters of the grid operating modes. The use of multi-contact switching systems allows you to implement a flexible change in the grid configuration when changing its operating modes. Power supply sources are also equipped with sensors. The data from the sensors is transmitted to the virtual power plant, which monitors the operating modes of the grid and forms commands for controlling its configuration. This allows you to monitor the operating modes of grid sections and power supply sources, identify normal, emergency and post-emergency modes and make the necessary changes to the grid configuration in a timely manner. As a strategy for the operation of an electrical grid containing renewable energy sources and configuration operating tools, a strategy is proposed that assumes the maximum use of the energy generated by renewable sources when the restrictions are met – a given level of reliability of power supply to consumers and the quality of electricity supplied to them

Podsumowanie:
Czynnościowe (funkcjonalne) zaburzenia somatyczne są częstymi objawami praktyce klinicznej zarówno w podstawowej jak i specjalistycznej opiece zdrowotnej. Najczęściej występują one w postaci niespecyficznych bólów, zmęczenia, zawrotów głowy lub szumów uszu. Z powodu ich niespecyficznego charakteru i braku skutecznych metod leczenia dolegliwości sprawiają problemy kliniczne. Stanowią również problem w zakresie klasyfikacji i różnych podziałów klinicznych. Pacjenci z tymi objawami wykazują cechy frustracji z powodu nieskutecznego przebiegu leczenia i często negują wpływ sfery psychicznej na pojawiające się dolegliwości. Klinicyści traktują tę grupę jako trudnych pacjentów. Używane modele klasyfikacyjne sprawiają problemy w komunikacji między terapeutami i pacjentami. Obecnie funkcjonują systemy klasyfikacyjne w formie ICD-10, DSM-5. Pozostałe, DCPR-SSI, RDoC są w trakcie intensywnych badań. W poniższym artkule opisano definicję, klasyfikacje i zapowiadaną nową nomenklaturę w ICD-11, która jest przygotowana przez Światową Organizację Zdrowia. Przytoczono również propozycje nowych nazw zespołów chorobowych. Opisano podstawowe koncepcje tłumaczące etiologię zespołów czynnościowych oraz nowe kierunki poszukiwań w obszarze zaburzonych procesów kognitywnych. Na końcu artykułu przytoczono sugestie terapeutyczne w pięciu obszarach oddziaływania leczniczego. Przybliżono najnowsze dane z eksperymentalnych metod stosowanych w neuroterapii w postaci EEG-Neurofeedbacku.
Crims.cat – katalońska powieść kryminalna
Authors: Jastrzębska Adriana Sara
Published: November 2021

W ostatnich dekadach powieść kryminalna w swoich licznych wariantach i odmianach stała się jednym z istotniejszych podgatunków współczesnej literatury, przejmując w dużej mierze rolę oraz zadania powieści społecznej, poddającej analizie stan społeczeństwa i stawiającej pytania o jego kondycję moralną. Bywa literackim produktem eksportowym, stając się składową obiegowych opinii i wyobrażeń na temat danego kraju (przykładem może tu być skandynawska powieść kryminalna czy kolumbijska narkopowieść). W Hiszpanii powieść kryminalna rozwija się intensywnie od połowy lat 70. Jej pierwsze ważne tematy to społeczeństwo kraju w okresie Transición oraz rozliczenia z historią XX wieku. Z czasem, dzięki twórczości takich autorów jak Manuel Vázquez Montalbán czy Eduardo Mendoza, Barcelona staje się hiszpańską stolicą powieści kryminalnej. Artykuł stanowi rekonesans w świecie powieści kryminalnej ostatnich lat, umiejscowionej w Katalonii i pisanej po katalońsku oraz przedstawienie jej najważniejszych tematów, reprezentantów, a także specyficznych cech. Omówiona zostaje też działalność służąca upowszechnianiu samego gatunku oraz wiedzy o nim wśród katalońskojęzycznej publiczności.
O uzgodnieniu negacji w języku katalońskim
Authors: Koźmiński Michał
Published: November 2021

W artykule omówiono dotychczasowe badania nad strukturą uzgodnienia negacji (concordança negativa) w języku katalońskim. Opcjonalne negowanie orzeczenia po n-słowie jest wśród języków romańskich cechą charakterystyczną tylko dla języka katalońskiego i niektórych języków kontinuum pirenejskiego. Przyczyn zróżnicowania dialektalnego tej struktury należy szukać przede wszystkim w kontakcie językowym. W tekście uwzględnione zostały również uwarunkowania historyczne oraz niektóre czynniki społeczne. Zwrócono szczególną uwagę na dość obszerną klasę minimalizatorów, podlegającą podobnym do n-słów procesom desemantyzacji i gramatykalizacji jako partykuły emfatyczne.
