The psychophysiological state of the skippers of passenger ships during the navigation period
Authors: Dubrovskaya Ekaterina N. , Kopytenkova Olga I.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. During navigation, ship specialists are affected by a number of unavoidable factors including noise, vibration, climatic conditions, ship rolling, monotony of the working process during watch keeping, psycho-emotional, and physical stress.
The aim of the study was to assess the psychophysiological state of boatmasters during navigation.
Materials and methods. A study of sixty four boatmasters was conducted before, in the middle and at the end of navigation. To achieve the purpose of the study, qualitative and quantitative indicators of psychophysiological status (Choice response, Mobility of nervous processes using a dynamometer) and the functioning of the cardiovascular system under physical exertion (Harvard step test) were studied. The research was carried out using a computer complex for psychophysiological testing “NS-Psychotest”. The results were processed using the Statistica v. 10 software package. The studied indicators are presented qualitatively, by frequency distribution in accordance with their severity in different periods of observation. The point estimate is supplemented with a 95% confidence interval, which was calculated by the Wilson method. In the comparative analysis, a nonparametric criterion was used for McNemar’s dependent variables χ2. To calculate the dose load by vibroacoustic factors, the approaches described in the Methodological Recommendations on the Dose Assessment of Industrial Noise No. 2908-82 were used.
Results. The results obtained during the study revealed significant differences in the indicators of functional and psycho-emotional state during the navigation period.
Limitations. Limited access to the subjects under study during navigation.
Conclusion. Currently, the boatmasters of modern automated passenger ships are affected by factors that can be attributed to the unavoidable. To reduce the negative impact of harmful factors on the functional and psychophysiological state of boatmasters, when developing shift work modes, the determination of the dose load should be applied, taking into account the round-the-clock impact of vibroacoustic factors during navigation. To preserve and strengthen the health of skippers, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth examination and monitoring of the functional state of the cardiovascular system for timely detection of initial signs of pathology in crew members.
Safety control of fruit and vegetable products: determination of residual amounts of a fungicide of the phthalimide class – captan
Authors: Kuz’min Sergey V. , Fedorova Natalia E. , Ivchenkova Anastasiya A. , Dobrev Svetoslav D.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. Due to the widespread use of captan-based fungicides, the substance is among the top of 100 pesticides most frequently detected in food products worldwide. Captan is hydrolytically unstable and rapidly degrades to the metabolite 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalimide (THPI). The substance tends to degrade at various stages of analysis, which justified the need for special experiments.
Purpose of the work. Conducting experimental studies to assess the potential risks of obtaining incorrect analytical results on the actual content of captan and THPI in food products when assessing its safety to substantiate optimal approaches to the analysis procedure and develop a methodology for controlling the content
of captan and its metabolite tetrahydrophthalimide in fruit, vegetable, and juice products.
Materials and methods. For the identification and quantitative determination of substances, the method of high performance liquid chromatography with a triple quadrupole mass detector (HPLC-MS/MS) was used. To extract analytes from a homogenized sample, acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid was used. An aliquot of the extract was purified by freezing at minus 18 °C.
Results. In the studied samples of citrus, the analytes showed stability. Thirty months after storage of samples in deep freezing conditions (temperature not higher than –20 °C), the identified levels of active ingredients of the pesticides imazalil, pyrimethanil, and prochloraz did not change by more than 20% compared to the previously detected concentrations. Insignificant amounts of imidacloprid, thiabendazole and pyriproxyfen, traces of azoxystrobin and trifloxystrobin, detected in the study of samples, were also found in samples after long-term storage.
Limitation. The study did not look at food products with a low water content.
Conclusion. For a correct assessment of food safety, it t has been shown to be necessary to quantify captan together with its metabolite THPI. It has been experimentally substantiated that lowering the pH and temperature during the preparation and storage of samples and extracts makes it possible to retain captan in the sample.
A procedure has been developed for determining the residual amounts of captan and its metabolite tetrahydrophthalimide in fruit, vegetable, and juice products by HPLC-MS/MS in the range of 0.01–50 mg/kg.

Published: October 2023

Financial literacy plays a pivotal role in shaping an individual’s financial security and overall success. Moreover, acquiring financial literacy is crucial for young people, as it equips them with the skills needed to autonomously and effectively manage financial matters in their future. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to evaluate the extent of financial literacy among 70 Grade 12 students during the School Year 2021-2022 at the Philippine Science High School-Ilocos Region Campus. To achieve this, a mixed methods research approach was employed, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative analyses. To collect data, an online survey, consisting of a financial literacy questionnaire, was administered through Messenger and Google Forms. The data obtained were subjected to various analytical methods, including content analysis, mean and percentage calculations, Likert scales, and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) with the Wilks’ test. The results unveiled that the students possess a satisfactory level of knowledge and confidence when it comes to financial matters and transactions. Furthermore, the outcomes of the MANOVA analysis indicated that there is no significant overall correlation between the students’ gender and their scholarship categorization concerning their financial literacy levels. It is recommended that future studies consider increasing the sample size and adjusting the sampling methodology to enhance the precision of the results, particularly in investigating the potential links between scholarship categorization, gender, and students’ financial literacy levels. Additionally, incorporating interviews as a research method could provide further insights beyond the scope of survey responses.
The One-State Solution: An Alternative Approach to the Palestinian- Israeli–Conflict Management.
Authors: Ismail Rusnawati , Yaacob Che Mohd Aziz
Published: October 2023

“One-state solution” as an alternative approach to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict where it will create the bi-national state, with two people in one state that have same equality. Under this idea, Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip will be put together into one big country. It comes in two different versions. First, it will create a single democratic country, advocated by some leftists and Palestinians. Arab Muslims would outnumber Jews, putting an end to Israel as a Jewish state. However, this approach may involve many obstacles. Even though, there’s a lot of debate and discussion on one state-solution has taken place, majority of the western politician cannot accept this solution. Moreover, the United Nations and the fives veto power still stick to the two-state solution. Even though it seems like the one-state solution can solve the conflict between Israel and Palestine, we cannot predict the effectiveness of this solution, as the reality and the theoretical aspects were different. It’s hard to anticipate exactly how it would work. The great advantage of the one state solution is that it encourages all peoples to live freely within the whole state, enjoying equal individual and collective rights, while maintaining their own ethnic and cultural identities. Through this solutions Israel can recover its image in international community. Israel has suffered from a negative image and received a lot of criticism, boycott and sanctions from countries around the world because of the policies that they implemented on Palestinian. United Nations should play a role in this solution, in order to offer Israel and Palestinian opportunity to create a peace and stable country.

Authors: Amanda Putri , Kurniawan Yudhi Dwi , Prasetiyo Kurnia Wiji , Hasan Fahmi , Amelia Anita
Published: October 2023

Biobased adsorbents have been developed for the removal of dye contaminants in aqueous solution. Hydrogel beads from alginate containing TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF) grafted with polyethyleneimine (PEI), namely Al/TOCNF-PEI, were prepared and evaluated as a new adsorbent for Congo Red (CR). The Al/TOCNF-PEI hydrogel beads were made with various concentrations of TOCNF/PEI, the optimum concentration is 45 wt% or Al/TOCNF-PEI45. The hydrogel was characterized by using Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The adsorption performance of the Al/TOCNF-PEI hydrogel beads towards CR was investigated in terms of changing of TOCNF-PEI content, initial concentration, pH, contact time, and adsorbent dosage. The maximum capacity of the adsorbent for CR was found to be 9.437 mg/g at the optimal conditions (pH = 3; T = RT) with the removal efficiency reaching 95 %. This result was ascribed to occur due to the electrostatic attraction between the protonated hydroxyl group and ammonium moiety of the hydrogel beads and the anionic sulfonate group of the CR. Upon fitting the adsorption data, the adsorption mechanism was consistent with the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Based on this finding, the low-cost Al/TOCNF-PEI45 hydrogel beads demonstrated a great potential for the removal of hazardous dyes in wastewater.

In this article we explore the interaction between the spatialities of the state and the spatial imaginaries by investigating the manifestation of territories beyond institutional practices. We want to understand the relevance of territories that, despite not being integrated into the political-administrative structure of the state, refuse to fade away. We examine deactivated supra-municipal divisions of two neighborhood states: the províncias of the Northern Portugal and the comarcas of Galicia (Spain). Both cases are examined through a combination of geohistorical analysis of the administrative organization of the states, alongside a revision of tangible and intangible practices of local stakeholders in which these territories persist. The exploration of geographical naming is a significant aspect of the analysis. The results indicate that both províncias and comarcas are currently mobilized by stakeholders with many purposes and assumed varied shapes to assert their existence from the bottom up. These are claimed as the suitable divisions of territory and used to contest the spatialities imposed by the state. The inclusion of the imaginaries associated with these territories on formal regional planning practices would lead to a future where the territorial diversity of the countries is acknowledged, and the endogenous characteristics embraced.
ENURESIS AND DYSFUNCTIONAL VOIDING IN PEDIATRIC ASTHMA AND/OR ALLERGIC RHINITIS PATIENTS
Authors: Aksoy Özlem Yüksel
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Voiding disorders are one of the most common problems in childhood. It has been shown that urinary incontinence/enuresis is associated with conditions accompanied by airway obstruction such as obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. In this study, it was aimed to determine the frequency of voiding disorders in patients with asthma and allergic rhinitis which are associated with airway obstruction.
Methods: In order to evaluate the presence of urinary incontinence/enuresis in children with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis, the "Dysfunctional voiding and incontinence scoring system" form was used for patients over the age of 5 who applied to the Kayseri City Hospital Pediatric Allergy Polyclinic. The form was filled by the patient's parents. The study was approved by the Kayseri City Hospital Ethics Committee.

Results: Of 110 patients, 71 were male and 39 were female. Asthma was the allergic diagnosis in 53.6% of the patients, whereas 28.2% had allergic rhinitis, 18.2% had asthma + allergic rhinitis. With the information obtained from the form and accompanied by anamnesis, it was shown that 38 (34.5%) of 110 patients had a type of voiding disorder; 14 (12.7%) patients had enuresis nocturna, and 6 patients (5.5%) had enuresis diurna, and voiding dysfunction was detected in 18 patients (16.4%). Of 38 patients with voiding disorder, 27 had asthma, 4 had allergic rhinitis, 7 had allergic rhinitis + asthma. Atopy was detected in 50% of 38 patients.

Conclusion: Voiding dysfunction was found at a rate of 34.5% in patients followed up with the diagnosis of asthma and/or allergic rhinitis, and it is seen to be quite high when compared to the frequency of enuresis/incontinence in the community. It is important to raise awareness for early detection of voiding disorders in patients with asthma and allergic rhinitis.

EVALUATION OF THE EFFICACY OF ENDOVENOUS LASER ABLATION THREATMENT FOR PATIENTS WITH LOWER LIMB CHRONIC SAPHENOUS AND PERFORATING VEIN INSUFFICIENCY
Authors: Guvenç Zeynep
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in the lower extremities is a widely observed disease in society. In these patients, endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) treatment, which has been considered highly effective and minimally invasive since 2001, is used in addition to other treatments. In this method, thermal ablation is created by intervention under ultrasound imaging (USG) guidance on the veins identified with color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) to have insufficiency. Within a short period, irreversible damage is induced in the vein, leading to autoinhibition and the alleviation of CVI symptoms. Hospitalization is not required for the patient, and they can mobilize with elastocompressive support.
Methods: Our study included 50 patients (89 veins, 71 legs) who were diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency and classified according to the CEAP (Clinical-Etiology-Anatomy-Pathophysiology) classification between March 2008 and August 2009. Patients who did not have contraindications for EVLA were included. The procedure was performed using a device with a 980 nm wavelength and a 400-micron fiber-optic tip. Additionally, patients with a high number of varices underwent complementary treatment with sclerotherapy targeting superficial veins.

Results: During the five to twenty months of clinical and Doppler follow-ups, among the 89 veins subjected to laser treatment, permanent complete occlusion was observed in 87%, symptomatic recanalization in 6.5%, and asymptomatic recanalization in 6.5%. Procedure-related major complications occurred in 3 patients, and minor complications occurred in 45 patients.

Conclusion: Excluding patients with symptomatic recanalization, the treatment success rate was accepted as 94.5%, consistent with the literature. Consequently, in this prospective study, EVLA was found to be an effective, safe, and advantageous method in terms of patient comfort, rapidly replacing surgery in the treatment of CVI.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GLU298ASP AND T786-C GENE POLYMORPHISMS OF ENDOTHELIAL NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE AND CORONARY SLOW-FLOW PHENOMENON
Authors: Öztürk Cihan
Published: October 2023

Introduction: This study aims to determine the association between Glu 298-Asp and T786-C gene polymorphisms of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and coronary slow-flow (CSF) phenomenon.

Methods: 148 individuals who underwent coronary angiogram (CAG) based on anginal symptoms, exercise testing, or myocardial perfusion scintigraphy were included in the study. Coronary flow was calculated based on TIMI frame counts (TFCs) on CAG. Venous blood samples were drawn from the patients for gene analysis and other biochemical parameters.

Results: 74 patients with a CSF pattern based on TFCs were included as patients and 74 individuals with normal coronary arteries were included as the control group. In the genotypic polymorphism analysis of the patient and control groups, no significant difference was found among individuals with CC, CT, and TT genotypes in terms of T786-C polymorphism (p=0.941) and among individuals with GG, GT, and TT genotypes (p=0.070) in terms of Glu298Asp polymorphism. Also, there was no statistically significant difference with regard to the distribution of the T786-C (p=0.220) and Glu298Asp (p=0.378) polymorphisms between those with single (only one of LAD, CX, or RCA) and those with multi-vessel (at least two or more of LAD, CX, or RCA) CSF patterns.

Conclusion: Our study demonstrated a null relationship between T786-C and Glu298Asp polymorphisms of the eNOS gene and CSF phenomenon in the Turkish population.

Printmakers’ Secrets
Authors: Dyson Anthony
Published: October 2023

A behind-the-scenes glimpse of the ways that different individual printmakers work.

This book comprises contributions from individual printmakers, richly illustrated with examples of their work and studios. Each of the nearly seventy participants (all members of London's Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, including several Royal Academicians) has been allocated a double page in which to offer an intimate insight into their working procedures, giving you the illusion of witnessing - behind the scenes as it were - the daily creative striving of the artist and the patient technical procedures that often underpin it. Their revelations range from the story of a near encounter with Picasso to the benefits of S. W. Hayter's uncompromising tuition at the celebrated Atelier 17, and from the taxing preparation of a mezzotint plate to the acceptance of the sometimes unforeseen - but ultimately happy - outcome of printing large collagraph images.

This is a valuable resource for students, practising printmakers and collectors of artists' original prints.

Landschaft und erneuerbare Energien.
Authors: Sieber Sandra
Published: October 2023

Der Begriff der Landschaft ist eng verknüpft mit der Vorstellung einer guten Natur, unberührt von Technik und menschlichen Einflüssen. Dabei ist Landschaft fast immer das genaue Gegenteil: Die Landschaften Mitteleuropas sind vom Menschen gestaltete Umgebungen, die seit Jahrtausenden durch technische Errungenschaften und die Nutzung von Energien geprägt wurden. Landschaften sind somit immer auch Energielandschaften.

Sandra Sieber geht folgenden Fragen nach: Wie konnten die Energiegewinnung und ihre Techniken aus den Vorstellungen von Landschaft ausgeschlossen werden? Weshalb werden kultivierte Landschaften als unberührte Natur angesehen? Und welche Wertungen und Zuschreibungen prägen unser Verhältnis zu Technik und Landschaft bis heute? Sie arbeitet gängige Überzeugungen der vermeintlichen Unverträglichkeit von Landschaft und erneuerbaren Energien heraus und untersucht ihren Ursprung. Auch die Einstellungen jüngerer Planender zu Energielandschaften werden exemplarisch beleuchtet.

Die Autorin kann so kompakt und bildhaft unterschiedliche Deutungen und Wertungen von Landschaft und Technik darstellen, die in der Diskussion um zeitgenössische Energielandschaften bis heute zu Konflikten führen. Sie hält damit ein Plädoyer für eine konstruktiv-gestaltende Energiewende vor Ort, denn es kann keine »schöne« Landschaft auf Kosten anderer geben.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF GENETICS TO BANANA CULTIVATION
Authors: Schlotag Stremel Jonas
Published: October 2023

Today, bananas and plantains play a leading role as primary sources of food and income generation in various regions of Brazil and the world. However, the incessant search for varieties that are resistant to adversity and have favorable agronomic characteristics, in line with market demands, is one of the main challenges for the expansion and development of this crop. In order to find solutions to reverse this situation, the development of cultivars through genetic improvement processes, especially the technique of hybridization between varieties, has stood out as a promising alternative. These advances have provided encouraging results, especially when considering the laboratory production of in vitro seeds. Against this backdrop, the main aim of this paper is to present a concise account of how the evolution of genetic improvement practices, together with related research, has contributed significantly to the transformation of the characteristics of bananas that we find today.

Ahmad bin Hanbal is one of the founders of four schools of jurisprudence which are at the corner of the Madrasah Hadith Expert and is a reference for his followers who call themselves Ahlussunnah. This article examines how Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal interacted with Sufi figures who lived in his time. because of the existence of a shallow paradigm of strong contact between hadith experts and Sufis. This study uses a qualitative descriptive historical approach. The results of this study conclude that there is a good relationship and a careful attitude from Imam Ahmad bin Aanbal towards the practices of the Sufis. and the early Sufis always looked to the Prophet as their ideal model. the description of Ahmad bin Hanbal's interactions with Sufi figures can be called a dialogical interaction between the two. this historically occurred in the second hijri century, especially at the time of Bisyr bin Haristh (227H), Ma'ruf Al-karkhi (200H), Hatim Al-Ashom (237H), Sari As-Saqti (253), Al-Maghazili (282H) ), Zakariya Al-Hawari (255 H).

The presence of Sufism in the midst of this global society is not only to provide responses and answers, not only question religious problems, but also about social, political and economic conditions of mankind. Sufism is an Islamic oasis that has a mandate in delivering necessary of human spirituality to the perfect stage. Sufism study is an Islamic study born from the womb of Sufism treasures in depth. Sufis have always rested on the dualism of truth between innate and inward, between historical and trans-historical sociology. Spiritual experimentation is not merely an individualistic idealistic experimentation, but also a social-idealistic experiment driven by a real sociological situation according civilization of the times. Then, to maximize the results of good and correct Sufism studies, it should use all existing methodologies inseparably. This is typical as a multidisciplinary approach. Use one of methodology without the other will reduce the formulation of Sufism which actually built on the spiritual experience of each individual original Sufi figure, the struggle of faith and their passion when struggling with the social reality faced and the recognition of the central text of Islam, namely Qur'an and hadith as normative foundation. Thus a brief review of discussion Sufism which provides an image complexity of approaches and instruments in reading it, with various aspects and scopes.
What awaits US in the next bird migration in South America: Prospects for the detection and incidence of HPAIV H5N1 in commercial poultry and wild birds. Proceeding of The First International Avian Influenza Summit, University of Arkansas- October 16-17, 2023".
Authors: Delgado Ramiro H.
Published: October 2023

Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N1 poses a significant threat to both commercial poultry operations and wild bird populations worldwide. South America, with its rich avian biodiversity and extensive poultry industry, is susceptible to the introduction and spread of this devastating virus. This study explores the imminent challenges and potential outcomes associated with the upcoming bird migration season in South America, focusing on the detection and incidence of HPAIV H5N1. Employing a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to integrate spatial modeling, genomic surveillance, and epidemiological analyses to forecast the dynamics of HPAIV H5N1 in the region. By examining historical migration patterns, host susceptibility, and environmental factors, it will be possible to elucidate potential pathways for virus dissemination among wild bird populations and spillover into commercial poultry farms. Furthermore, this study evaluates the efficacy of current surveillance and monitoring strategies in detecting HPAIV H5N1, identifying potential gaps, and offering recommendations for enhanced surveillance protocols. Leveraging advanced molecular techniques is necessary to analyze viral genomes to track potential mutations associated with increased virulence or altered host range, thereby providing crucial insights for targeted intervention measures. The outcomes of this research will advance our understanding of the ecological and epidemiological factors influencing the spread of HPAIV H5N1 in South America and inform proactive strategies for early detection, containment, and mitigation of future outbreaks. This comprehensive assessment is a pivotal step towards safeguarding poultry industries and avian biodiversity in the face of emerging infectious diseases.

В системах теплоснабжения городов Казахстана, промышленных объектов эксплуатируется существенное число котельных, работающих на жидком топливе: мазуте, дизельном топливе и сжиженном углеводородном газе. Рост цен на нефтепродукты обуславливает поиск путей экономически целесообразной модернизации котельных на жидком топливе, в том числе с применением возобновляемых и вторичных энергетических ресурсов, что приведет также к минимизации выбросов загрязняющих веществ и парниковых газов. В данной статье представлен сравнительный анализ вариантов перехода на альтернативные источники теплоснабжения, проведен расчет технико-экономических показателей внедрения тепловых насосов, солнечных коллекторов, в том числе с расчетом солнечной инсоляции для г. Астаны в программном комплексе METEONORM 7.2. Показано, что применять тепловые насосы и солнечные коллектора в системе централизованного теплоснабжения г. Астаны нецелесообразно, так как стоимость тепла в 3-4 раза выше среднего тарифа, но при замене котельной, работающей на жидком топливе, вариант перехода на комбинированную систему «тепловой насос и пиковый электрокотел» или «солнечный коллектор и электрокотел» является экономически целесообразным. При замене дизельной котельной тепловой мощностью 1 Гкал/час в зависимости от принятой схемы годовая экономия составит от 174,5 до 342,2 тысяч долларов, а срок окупаемости при существующих ценах на дизельное топливо, составит 2,4-3,6 года.

Abstract. There is a growing interest in estimating urban CO2 emission from space-borne imagery of XCO2. Emission estimation methods are already being tested and applied to actual or synthetic images. However, we still need automatic and standard methods, as well as objective criteria for selecting the images to be processed. This study shows the performance of an automated process for estimating urban emissions, standardised for all cities, using synthetic satellite images of XCO2. We also use a decision tree learning method to define satellite image selection criteria. We show that our method, based on a Gaussian plume model, has a success rate of 92 % when applied to our database of 9920 images covering 31 cities worldwide. Using our learning method, we show that the two main criteria guiding the error on the emission estimate are the wind direction's spatial variability and the targeted city's emission budget. Our learning method also allows us to separate images giving statistically accurate estimations from those giving erroneous estimations based on the two above mentioned criteria. Images for which the spatial variability of wind direction is low (less than 12°) and urban emissions high (greater than 12.1 ktCO2/h) account for 47 % of images and have a bias on the emission estimation of -7 % of the emissions and a spread (IQR) of 56 %. Images with high spatial variability in wind direction or low urban emissions account for 53 % of the images and have a bias in the emission estimate of -31 % and a spread of 99 %.
