Grapevines in Argentina, Chile and South Africa are grown under high levels of solar radiation. The availability of this resource is an opportunity to implement agrivoltaics as a practice for climate change mitigation. This study was conducted during 2020-2021 to: i) compare the legal framework in these countries to promote photovoltaic (PV) technology, ii) analyze the integration of PV technology with viticulture, and iii) evaluate its social acceptance. To analyze the regulatory framework, national and regional laws to promote the integration of PV technology with viticulture were evaluated. The PV technology and viticulture practices adopted were evaluated through a survey in ten vineyards located in Argentina, Chile, and South Africa. Social acceptance of PV integration with viticulture was evaluated in a participative process. The main facilitators common to the three countries are the availability of the solar resource, the scenario of legislative transformation related to the production of renewable energies, and the reduction of production costs in the long term for wine companies. Although there have been advances in the regulatory frameworks, especially in Chile and Argentina, agrivoltaics is still not mentioned. This, coupled with limited local experience of agrivoltaics in vineyards, limits communication of the potential benefits in grape, wine, and energy production.
Organised crime and trafficking in persons
Authors: David Fiona
Published: February 2024

The public tends to assume that trafficking in persons is associated with the forced recruitment of women for sexual exploitation by highly organised, criminal gangs. In reality, the modus operandi and individuals involved in trafficking crimes are diverse. Trafficking in persons can and does occur in a range of industries and sectors, and it affects women, men and children. Furthermore, this crime can and has been perpetrated by relatively unsophisticated offenders, including individuals acting alone or with one other person, such as a spouse. All of these factors have implications for prevention, detection and prosecution. In this paper an overview is provided of the existing research on the organisation of human trafficking internationally and in Australia. It begins with an examination of the key concept: precisely what is organised crime? This is followed by an examination of the Australian and international literature on trafficking offending, a review that confirms the paucity of primary research on this subject. This paper is the first publication of a larger research project investigating the nature and characteristics of trafficking offending, with a particular focus on the Australian context.
The association between birth cohort size and fluctuating crime levels: A Western Australian case study
Authors: Rosevear Lisa
Published: February 2024

Official Australian crime statistics indicate that individual offence levels peak around 15–24 years of age and decline thereafter (eg see AIC 2011). Change in this general age–crime trend could be expected to coincide with change in age-related demographic phenomena (South & Messner 2000). This paper is one of two by this author that investigate the impact of structural ageing on crime patterns. A case study of the South Australian population (Rosevear 2011) confirmed that total crime levels declined in that state when the proportion of young people in the population declined. In this paper, another aspect of the association between crime and demography is considered—age-specific offence rates and birth cohorts. Australia has experienced waves of differently sized birth cohorts (Jackson 2001; McDonald & Kippen 1999), yet the impact of these waves on long-term crime trends is frequently overlooked. This paper uses a case study of the Western Australian population to illustrate the extent to which Australia’s largest (‘baby bust’) cohort have engaged in higher levels of criminal activity compared with smaller birth cohorts.
Meta-analysis of factors influencing anterior knee pain after total knee arthroplasty
Authors: Feng Hui , Feng Ming-Li , Cheng Jing-Bo , Zhang Xiang , Tao Hai-Cheng
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a mature procedure recommended for correcting knee osteoarthritis deformity, relieving pain, and restoring normal biomechanics. Although TKA is a successful and cost-effective procedure, patient dissatisfaction is as high as 50%. Knee pain after TKA is a significant cause of patient dissatisfaction; the most common location for residual pain is the anterior region. Between 4% and 40% of patients have anterior knee pain (AKP).

AIM

To investigate the effect of various TKA procedures on postoperative AKP.

METHODS

We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane from January 2000 to September 2022. Randomized controlled trials with one intervention in the experimental group and no corresponding intervention (or other interventions) in the control group were collected. Two researchers independently read the title and abstract of the studies, preliminarily screened the articles, and read the full text in detail according to the selection criteria. Conflicts were resolved by consultation with a third researcher. And relevant data from the included studies were extracted and analyzed using Review Manager 5.4 software.

RESULTS

There were 25 randomized controlled trials; 13 were comparative studies with or without patellar resurfacing. The meta-analysis showed no significant difference between the experimental and control groups (P = 0.61). Six studies were comparative studies of circumpatellar denervation vs non-denervation, divided into three subgroups for meta-analysis. The two-subgroup meta-analysis showed no significant difference between the experimental and the control groups (P = 0.31, P = 0.50). One subgroup meta-analysis showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (P = 0.001). Two studies compared fixed-bearing TKA and mobile-bearing TKA; the results meta-analysis showed no significant difference between the experimental and control groups (P = 0.630). Two studies compared lateral retinacular release vs non-release; the meta-analysis showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (P = 0.002); two other studies compared other factors.

CONCLUSION

Patellar resurfacing, mobile-bearing TKA, and fixed-bearing TKA do not reduce the incidence of AKP. Lateral retinacular release can reduce AKP; however, whether circumpatellar denervation can reduce AKP is controversial.

Ensino remoto, formação continuada e precarização do trabalho docente – o que a pandemia evidenciou no DF?
Authors: Xavier Josimara
Published: February 2024

O texto visa explorar a reflexão a respeito do atual contexto social no qual a formação continuada tem favorecido e reforçado a precarização do trabalho docente desfavorecendo sua perspectiva emancipatória. O embasamento teórico fundamenta-se na produção de autores que contemplam a perspectiva crítica dos profissionais da educação no Brasil, defensores da práxis pautada na indissociabilidade da teoria com a prática e no materialismo histórico dialético, que elege a realidade objetiva e a ação do ser nessa realidade, como a gênese da produção de transformações histórico-sociais. A compreensão dos aspectos envolvidos sobre o contexto da pandemia, do ensino remoto e da precarização da formação docente configura-se em um desafio metodológico. Para tanto, a pesquisa alicerçou-se em uma postura crítica, adotando os princípios da Epistemologia Qualitativa que defende o caráter construtivo-interpretativo do conhecimento, enfatizando-o como produção e não como apropriação linear do objeto de pesquisa. As construções aqui apresentadas não carregam a intenção de esgotar o tema e nem sugerir que nossas reflexões se configuram como verdades absolutas, mas representam um convite destinado aos educadores com a finalidade de abrir um canal dialógico e de reflexão que possibilite a compreensão do momento histórico e seus impactos no trabalho docente capaz de fortalecer a precarização ou a perspectiva da emancipação.

Authors: Hardianto Hardianto , Mubarok Miftah Farid , Nurbaits Alisya , Salimah Asiyah Wardah
Published: February 2024

Kain kapas merupakan kain yang terbuat dari serat alam yang masih masif digunakan karena memiliki beberapa kelebihan. Akan tetapi, kain kapas juga memiliki kekurangan yaitu adanya kemungkinan menjadi tempat berkembangnya bakteri. Hal tersebut dapat diatasi dengan proses penyempurnaan antibakteri sehingga diperoleh kain yang memiliki ketahanan terhadap bakteri. Ekstrak daun bambu tali (Gigantochloa apus) dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai zat antibakteri karena mengandung senyawa fenol, alkaloid, dan flavonoid yang berpotensi untuk menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri. Penyempurnaan antibakteri dilakukan menggunakan larutan penyempurnaan yang terdiri dari ekstrak daun bambu tali, zat pengikat silang yang divariasikan yaitu asam sitrat dan binder GSL, dan katalis. Metode penyempurnaan yang digunakan yaitu metode pad-dry-cure dengan WPU sebesar 80% dan suhu pemanas-awetan yang divariasikan pada suhu 160°C dan 170°C. Pengujian yang dilakukan pada kain tersebut ialah pengujian aktivitas antibakteri terhadap bakteri E. coli dan pengujian sifat fisika kain meliputi kekuatan tarik dan mulur kain dan kekuatan sobek kain metode Elmendorf. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak daun bambu tali dengan zat pengikat silang asam sitrat yang diaplikasikan pada kain kapas memiliki aktivitas antibakteri yang cukup dengan diameter zona hambat yang terbentuk sebesar 6 mm. Selain itu, penyempurnaan antibakteri ini tidak menyebabkan perubahan sifat fisika kain (kekuatan tarik, mulur kain, dan kekuatan sobek) yang signifikan secara statistika.

Los nombres de la metafísica: Zaratustra
Authors: Guarneros Aldo
Published: February 2024

Based on the historical sense of Zarathustra I study a problem that goes through the entire tradition, namely, the problem of dualisms, the philosophical explanation that tends towards a split or, in other words, the proposal of a radical whole’s separation in elements (soul-body, subject-object, truth-falsehood and so on). This paper doesn’t just analyse a few dualisms, but it shows the duality as the inception of dualist thoughts and suggests how it is rather possible to give reason of dualisms by means of the unity.

Authors: Unhale S.I. , Khairnar S. L. , Joshi M. A.
Published: February 2024

This study summarizes the exploration of the impact of sound frequencies on various dimensions of human well-being. The study investigates the psychological and physiological responses to different sound frequencies, considering factors such as emotional states, focus, stress relief, and pain perception. The experiment draws on established psychoacoustic principles and incorporates data from controlled experiments, including a Randomized Block Design (RBD). The study employs statistical analyses, such as ANOVA, to discern the significance of Intercept, Block Number, and Sound Frequency in predicting variations in well-being outcomes.the study revealed valuable insights into the factors influencing different dimensions of human well-being. The consistent significance of Intercept, Block Number, and Sound Frequency across various aspects suggests the importance of considering both individual and external factors, as well as the specific frequencies of sounds, in understanding and promoting well-being. These findings can have implications for designing interventions or environments that aim to enhance different aspects of human well-being through targeted sound exposure.

Published: February 2024

In this study we have investigates the impact of polynomial degree selection on data fitting accuracy in analyzing population trends within Nashik District. Through a series of figures, it becomes evident that lower-degree polynomials, including linear and quadratic models, inadequately match the dataset's complexity. However, with escalating polynomial degrees, a notable improvement in fitting effectiveness emerges. This analysis highlights the critical role of selecting an appropriate polynomial degree in accurately representing underlying trends. While higher-degree polynomials offer improved fitting, the risk of overfitting, especially with smaller datasets, necessitates a delicate balance between complexity and accuracy. Understanding dataset characteristics is pivotal in determining the optimal polynomial degree for effective representation and prediction of population trends in Nashik District.

Cheats might be numerous and submitted by the protection guarantor or the safeguarded. The unscrupulous social insurance providers are the reason for extortion in the well-being segment. This research approach is to apply machine learning to find incidents of medical insurance fraud automatically. In conclusion, machine learning is a promising tool for detecting medical insurance fraud. It can help insurers detect fraudulent activities in real time, saving money on bogus claims.
Neurotoxic Acrylamide Mitigation By L-Asparaginase Enzyme Extracted From Actinomycetes Species.
Authors: Tidar N.P , Chavan K.R , Ghorpade R.P
Published: February 2024

Acrylamide is a chemical that is generated in starchy foods, coffee, and bread, etc during high-temperature cooking processes, such as frying, roasting, and baking and is a major food safety concern. Acrylamide toxicity targets the nervous and reproductive systems, causing symptoms like muscle weakness and numbness therefore there is a need to solve this problem by biological method. Actinomycetes are an excellent source of L-asparaginase, an enzyme which specifically catalyses the breakdown of amino acid L-asparagine to aspartic acid and ammonia. If starchy food products are not treated with L- asparginase enzyme then at high temperature L-asparagine present in food converts to acrylamide. Hence, water and soil samples were obtained from Uran, Sai, and Panvel regions and Actinomycetes were isolated onto Starch Casein Agar plates. Biochemical analyses revealed negative results for TSI, nitrate reduction, and citrate but positive for catalase and starch hydrolysis. Noteworthy enzymatic activity at 2.66µg/ml/min was observed. Optimization was performed with various parameters. Production and purification of L-asparaginase by submerged fermentation, followed by ammonium precipitation, dialysis, and subsequent application to pretreat potatoes. After incubation and frying, high-performance liquid chromatography analysis exhibited a reduction in acrylamide levels. The study's meticulous approach, from isolation to application, addresses critical food safety issues, marking a significant contribution.

В связи с повышением пенсионного возраста возрастает значимость поддержания хорошего уровня физического состояния и социально-психологического самочувствия граждан предпенсионного возраста, это необходимо прежде всего для женщин данной возрастной группы. В связи с этим особую актуальность приобретает ухудшение показателей социально-психологического самочувствия женщин. Это происходит из-за увеличения производственной нагрузки, необходимости тратить значительно большее, чем в прежние годы, количество времени на работу в ущерб отдыху. Кроме того, нестабильность социально-экономической обстановки особо влияет на ощущение психологического благополучия женщин. Целю исследования является разработка и экспериментальное обоснование модели организации двигательной активности женщин предпенсионного возраста. Задачи исследования: выявить принципы и состав эффективных средств физической культуры для организации двигательной активности женщин предпенсионного возраста; разработать модель организации двигательной активности женщин предпенсионного возраста и экспериментально обосновать ее эффективность. Анализ результатов реализации экспериментальной модели свидетельствует о том, что за период эксперимента увеличились показатели социально-психологического самочувствия (удовлетворенность жизнью, удовлетворенность социальным взаимодействием, эмоциональная устойчивость, социально-психологическая адаптированность, самоотношение, тревожность и интегральная оценка социально-психологического самочувствия), достоверный прирост результатов был отмечен в показателях: вес тела, индекс массы тела, гибкость, быстрота, динамическая сила, скоростная выносливость, общая выносливость, баллы за тест Контрекс-2 по показателям уровня здоровья, отношения к своему здоровью и степени активности образа жизни.

Given the increasing retirement age, it is crucial to maintain optimal physical fitness and socio-psychological well-being for individuals in the pre-retirement age group, particularly women. This study aims to develop and empirically justify a model for organizing physical activity specifically designed for women in the pre-retirement age group. The objectives of the study are to identify effective principles and components of physical culture that contribute to organizing physical activities for women in this age group and to experimentally validate the model's effectiveness. Analysis of the experimental model's implementation reveals significant improvements in socio-psychological well-being indicators, such as life satisfaction, satisfaction with social interaction, emotional stability, socio-psychological adaptability, self-attitude, anxiety, and overall assessment of socio-psychological well-being. The experimental results also demonstrate notable enhancements in body weight, body mass index, flexibility, speed, dynamic strength, speed endurance, general endurance, Contrex-2 test scores, health level, attitude towards health, and the degree of physical activity.

Além de abordar a transferência de calor e massa na secagem convectiva deste resíduo, introduzindo novos conceitos propostos por Cavalcanti-Mata (2020) a partir do modelo de Fick modificado. O resíduo foi submetido à secagem convectiva e aos dados experimentais foram aplicados modelos teóricos, semi-teóricos e empíricos de secagem e posteriormente calculadas as propriedades termodinâmicas. O material foi caracterizado quanto as análises físico-químicas, antes e após a secagem. O modelo de Cavalcanti-Mata e Page modificados, apresentaram um ótimo ajuste aos dados experimentais. Os valores obtidos para os parâmetros termodinâmicos, destacam a diminuição da entalpia com o aumento da temperatura de secagem, comprovando a necessidade de menos energia para a remoção de água ligada ao produto. Foram obtidas farinhas com baixo teor lípidico e ricas em proteínas, com potencial aplicação na indústria alimentícia, atendendo a demanda dos consumidores intolerantes e/ou alérgicos a glúten.

Este artigo buscou entender como a política pública de investimentos em pesquisa, desenvolvimento e inovação (PD&I) na bioeconomia é implementada na Amazônia Ocidental. O estudo utiliza uma abordagem qualitativa de estudo de caso, combinando a análise de redes de políticas públicas com uma perspectiva cognitiva. Os dados foram coletados por meio de pesquisa documental, com foco nas políticas e relatórios governamentais referentes aos investimentos em PD&I na Zona Franca de Manaus. A análise de redes revelou o envolvimento de diversos atores, incluindo o setor público, empresas, organizações do terceiro setor e instituições de pesquisa, na promoção da bioeconomia. A abordagem cognitiva enfatizou a importância das ideias compartilhadas e crenças sociais na formação dessas políticas, destacando valores, normas, algoritmos e imagens que orientam o incentivo à PD&I na bioeconomia. Isso incluiu valores como desenvolvimento científico e tecnológico, desenvolvimento sustentável e conservação da biodiversidade; as normas envolveram a valorização da bioeconomia e o estímulo ao investimento público-privado em PD&I; enquanto os algoritmos apontaram relações causais entre investimentos eficientes em PD&I e desenvolvimento econômico e social; as imagens simplificaram essa relação, ilustrando como a PD&I contribui para o valor, a conservação e o desenvolvimento. O estudo conclui enfatizando a necessidade de abordagens multidisciplinares na análise de políticas públicas complexas como a PD&I na bioeconomia.

Hungarians in the Eyes of the Romanians. “The Era of Good Feelings”
Authors:   Facultatea de Istorie și Filosofie, Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai, Cluj-Napoca, Mitu Sorin
Published: February 2024

This article analyzes the positive image of the Hungarians, as it appears in several important Romanian texts prior to the 1848 revolution. The origin of this image can be detected in the works of the Transylvanian School writers. These authors use an important element of the eighteenth‑century Hungarian self‑image, which emphasized the multiethnic character of Hungary and the fact that several peoples coexisted in harmony between its borders. This representation was predicated on the idea of tolerance, inherited from the period of the Josephine reforms. The existence of this benign horizon of expectation in imagological relations between Romanians and Hungarians is highlighted by two important Romanian texts from the first half of the nineteenth century: the travel notes written by the Wallachian boyar Dinicu Golescu (1826), and those by a petty nobleman from Făgăraș, Ion Codru Drăgușanu (1835–1844, published in 1865). Travel accounts are precious sources for imagological study, because they reveal not only what travelers see on their journeys, but also the prejudices and stereotypes they set out with, the images of the Other that permeate their cultural environment. The traditions of Enlightenment philosophy shaped an “era of good feelings” for the Romanians who wrote about Hungarians on the eve of the revolution of 1848, which was noticeable at a discursive level. This view drew its sap from the most general principles of the time but was also supported by the secular practice of cohabitation between the Romanian and Hungarian communities in Transylvania.
The Helsinki Accords and Human Rights in Romania
Authors:   Facultatea de Istorie și Filosofie, Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai, Cluj-Napoca, Corpodean Paula
Published: February 2024

This article discusses Romania’s compliance with the existing requirements regarding human rights found in the so‑called third basket of the Helsinki Final Act following the document’s signing. Since 1975, the year the Act was signed, the Western powers have managed to find a channel through which to monitor more closely how the communist regimes respected human rights and civil liberties. It is not enough to observe what problems were raised regarding the violation of human rights in Romania but also how the Romanian authorities, based on the answers provided, considered that they had respected the commitments regarding human rights. As one will see, even if there were severe reactions or protests against Romania regarding this matter, the communist authorities followed their internal policy but with care that the human rights issue did not affect their international relations, if possible. Under special conditions, the communist authorities were willing to make certain concessions.
ChatGPT and the History of the Romanians. A Preliminary Analysis
Authors:   Facultatea de Istorie și Filosofie, Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai, Cluj-Napoca, Popovici Vlad
Published: February 2024

The public release of the AI‑powered conversational bot ChatGPT, its subsequent success, its acquisition by Microsoft, and its integration into the company’s digital tools, coupled with the swift response of other key industry players (particularly Google, which soon launched its own version of integrated search engine artificial intelligence – Google Bard), have sparked numerous public debates and concerns within the academic realm. In the short term, the primary concern revolves around students using this advanced digital tool to automatically draft their papers, thereby potentially cheating the grading system. In the medium to long term, apprehensions center around the status of the historian’s profession and the condition of historians compelled to compete with artificial intelligence. This study, conducted through sequential interviews with ChatGPT, GPT-4, and Google Bard, discusses both issues, with a specific focus on the history of the Romanians and the Romanian university system.
A Devotional Medallion from the Churchyard Cemetery on Mihail Kogălniceanu Street
Authors:   Muzeul Național de Istorie a Transilvaniei, Cluj-Napoca, Varga Gianina-Diana
Published: February 2024

In 2022, the archaeologists from the National Museum of Transylvanian History conducted an excavation in a section of the cemetery surrounding the present Calvinist Church on the former Farkas utca (Platea Luporum – Lat., Ulița Lupilor – Ro., now known as Mihail Kogălniceanu Street). Within one of the graves, they uncovered a silver devotional medallion enameled on both sides, featuring the IHS monogram. Following its discovery, the medallion underwent a meticulous series of physical‑chemical examinations and an in‑depth historical analysis. These efforts aimed to unravel the medallion’s structure, functionality, and symbolic significance, particularly considering the depiction of the well‑known IHS monogram. Utilizing archaeological and anthropological data, as well as drawing parallels with formal and functional analogies from other historical contexts, the present study endeavors to elucidate the role and dating of this significant discovery.

Kék bokályos rostás vizeskorsó… A Haban Ewer in an Urban Household from Cluj
Authors:   Muzeul Național de Istorie a Transilvaniei, Cluj-Napoca, Toda Oana
Published: February 2024

The Haban ewer presented here is an exceptional archaeological find that became part of the heritage of the National Museum of Transylvanian History following the rescue excavations on Gaál Gábor Street in 2021. The piece, inscribed with the production year 1700, was recovered from the decommissioned well of the old Calvinist parsonage in Cluj (the Herepei House). Archival documents from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, together with artifacts preserved in public or private collections, prove the widespread popularity of Haban pottery due to its technical and aesthetic qualities during the heyday of the craft of Anabaptist potter communities in Moravia, the Hungarian Kingdom, and the Transylvanian Principality. The formal and stylistic analogies, together with the dating of the piece, point to its most likely production in the pottery workshop from Vințu de Jos (Alvinc/ Unterwinz, Alba County). This specimen is of the blue‑glazed ceramic type, which became popular on the Transylvanian market during the second half of the seventeenth century and at the beginning of the subsequent one.
