Mercury, a potent toxin that poses serious risks to human health, particularly for pregnant women and young children, is widely present due to artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), which impacts water quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate methylmercury exposure among pregnant women in communities downstream from ASGM sites. We characterized hair total mercury (THg) concentrations among 148 pregnant women across 24 communities in the Tumbes region of Peru, downstream from ASGM sites in Ecuador. Using purposeful sampling, we classified communities into three exposure risk zones: Puyango-Tumbes River watershed, Coast, and Zarumilla. The mean THg concentration was 2.08 µg/g ± 1.36, with 45% of participants (67/148) exceeding UNEP/WHO exposure limits (>2.0 µg/g). The median was 1.84 with an interquartile range (IQR) from 1.01 to 2.83. Median THg levels were significantly higher in the Puyango-Tumbes River region (2.72 µg/g; IQR: 1.66–3.55) compared with Zarumilla (1.61 µg/g; IQR: 0.67–2.63; P = 0.001) and to the Coast (1.71 µg/g; IQR: 1.13–2.50; P = 0.01), suggesting that living close to the Puyango-Tumbes River may be associated with a higher mercury exposure risk. After controlling for potential confounders, individuals in the Puyango-Tumbes watershed exhibited a significant 57% higher expected geometric mean of hair THg compared with Zarumilla (95% CI: 0.1–146.2%). These findings underscore the importance of identifying high-risk regional populations and ongoing biomonitoring of the Puyango-Tumbes River watershed.
Augmenting Driver Awareness and Performance through Haptics,
Assistive Controls, and Environment Perception
Authors: Shata Abdelrahman Ali Adel , Naghdy Fazel , Du Haiping
Published: November 2024

Advances in vehicle sensing and communication technologies are enabling new
opportunities for intelligent driver assistance systems that enhance road safety
and performance. This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent research
on two complementary areas: haptic/tactile interfaces for conveying road terrain
and hazard information to drivers, and shared control frameworks that employ
assistive automation to supplement driver inputs. Various haptic feedback
techniques for generating realistic road feel through steering wheel torque
overlays, pedal interventions, and alternative interface modalities are
examined. Control assistance approaches integrating environmental perception to
provide steering, braking, and collision avoidance support through blended
human–machine control are also analyzed. The paper scrutinizes methods for road
sensing using cameras, LiDAR, and radar to classify terrain for adapting system
response. Evaluation practices across this domain are critically assessed,
including subjective questionnaires, quantitative performance metrics,
simulation testbeds, and limited on-road studies. Key findings on the
effectiveness of haptic feedback in improving situation awareness, reducing
cognitive load, and preventing accidents are synthesized. The review also
highlights the potential of shared control frameworks to maintain vehicle
stability and prevent loss of control during critical events. While simulations
demonstrate promising initial capabilities, gaps are identified regarding lack
of extensive real-world validation across diverse conditions. The paper provides
insights into priority areas for further research, such as refining terrain
classification through advanced sensing, seamless human–automation cooperation,
and understanding long-term effects of assistive technology usage. Overall, the
review underscores exciting opportunities for haptics and assistive automation
to substantially enhance road safety while qualitatively improving the driving
experience.
Curanderismo as a Belief System in the 21’st Century: Susto and Espanto’s Perception by Curanderas in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico. A Case Study
Authors: Tołsty Natalia
Published: November 2024

This paper evaluates the religious aspects of traditional Mexican medicine, with a specific focus on the perspective of modern curanderas – female folk healers – living in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico. It explores how they perceive susto and espanto, and how community norms shape health--related matters. Their ideas serve as reference points for analysis of overall experiences as female folk healers. Moreover, the medical aspect of their work, interwoven with religious pluralism establishes curanderismo as a religious medicine. The interpretative framework draws from Arthur Kleinman’s healthcare systems theory, emphasising culture’s influence on illness perception. This analysis stresses the role of spiritually dangerous ailments, regulated by both belief-oriented and laic norms, in upholding social order. Furthermore, the deeply rooted religious aspects of curanderismo, nature integrate nature into its healing practice.
„Wyimaginowane twory”? Obóz Pracy w Łambinowicach według Janusza Rudnickiego
Authors: Morawiec Arkadiusz
Published: November 2024

The article concerns Janusz Rudnicki’s work (short story) dedicated to the labor camp in Łambinowice (1945–1946). Its original version was published in 1998 under the title Polska hańba (Polish Disgrace), and its latest edition was included in the book Chodźcie, idziemy (Come On, Let’s Go), published by Rudnicki in 2007. Here it is entitled Dwa (Oboz) (Two [Camp]). The genesis, structure, functions and reception of this work are considered. It is presented in both historical (post-war expulsions of Germans from Poland, Polish camps for Germans) and literary context. Rudnicki’s work is important for several reasons. It is a significant “intervention” in Polish historical memory, bringing out the repressed persecution of Germans (who were imprisoned, tormented and killed in the Łambinowice camp). Therefore, it fits into the trend of literature questioning the “paradigm of Polish innocence” (which is dominated by works about the murder of Jews in Jedwabne). Moreover, it is a drastic work in terms of style (saturated with vulgarisms) and the presented world. The horror convention that characterizes it is as provocative and shocking as it is artistically and intellectually justified. By arousing strong emotions in the reader, it encourages them to confront the evoked situations and events with what historians have established so far. What is special about Rudnicki’s work, as a manifestation of Polish concentration camp literature, is that its lyrical subject is a torturer and not, as it is most often the case, a victim. Moreover, the torturer is a Pole. Rudnicki’s work also proves that Polish concentration camp literature is not limited, as was believed for years, only to lagers (German Nazi concentration camps and extermination centres) and gulags (Soviet camps, especially forced labor camps). It also includes Polish camps.
Polska literatura obozowa według Arkadiusza Morawca
Authors: Adamczyk Kazimierz
Published: November 2024

The present article is a commentary on Arkadiusz Morawiec’s book Polska literatura obozowa. Rekonesans [Polish Prison and Camp Literature: Preliminary Remarks], in which a convincing hypothesis was presented that a concentration camp should be seen as a symbol of the 20th century. Morawiec illustrates his reflections with the monograph’s chapters on Nazi concentration camps, gulags, as well as Polish, Spanish and Japanese prison camps. In his book, the author postulates broadening the scope of literary and historiographic research on Nazi and Soviet camps to include the internment camps created by the other European regimes as well as the literary works created decades after the Second World War, with inclusion of questionable pop culture works. The author of this article sees this not only as Morawiec’s attempt at redefining the concept of Polish camp literature but also an attempt at re-creating it from scratch in order to showcase new research perspectives. The author emphasises the fact that each of the book’s chapters can be seen as a small monograph describing the camps and their literary representations that serves as a model example of academic humanistic writing. The author’s only point of critique is underrepresentation of the genre’s most well known works. Such literary works have been subjects of numerous studies, nevertheless Polish Prison and Camp Literature would have greatly benefited as monograph from exploring the oeuvre of Tadeusz Borowski, Seweryna Szmaglewska, Stanisław Grzesiuk, Gustaw Herling-Grudziński, Anatol Krakowiecki, Aleksander Wat in greater detail.

On the relative asymptotic expressivity of inference frameworks
Authors: Koponen Vera , Weitkämper Felix
Published: November 2024

We consider logics with truth values in the unit interval $[0,1]$. Such
logics are used to define queries and to define probability distributions. In
this context the notion of almost sure equivalence of formulas is generalized
to the notion of asymptotic equivalence. We prove two new results about the
asymptotic equivalence of formulas where each result has a convergence law as a
corollary. These results as well as several older results can be formulated as
results about the relative asymptotic expressivity of inference frameworks. An
inference framework $\mathbf{F}$ is a class of pairs $(\mathbb{P}, L)$, where
$\mathbb{P} = (\mathbb{P}_n : n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots)$, $\mathbb{P}_n$ are
probability distributions on the set $\mathbf{W}_n$ of all $\sigma$-structures
with domain $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ (where $\sigma$ is a first-order signature) and
$L$ is a logic with truth values in the unit interval $[0, 1]$. An inference
framework $\mathbf{F}'$ is asymptotically at least as expressive as an
inference framework $\mathbf{F}$ if for every $(\mathbb{P}, L) \in \mathbf{F}$
there is $(\mathbb{P}', L') \in \mathbf{F}'$ such that $\mathbb{P}$ is
asymptotically total variation equivalent to $\mathbb{P}'$ and for every
$\varphi(\bar{x}) \in L$ there is $\varphi'(\bar{x}) \in L'$ such that
$\varphi'(\bar{x})$ is asymptotically equivalent to $\varphi(\bar{x})$ with
respect to $\mathbb{P}$. This relation is a preorder. If, in addition,
$\mathbf{F}$ is at least as expressive as $\mathbf{F}'$ then we say that
$\mathbf{F}$ and $\mathbf{F}'$ are asymptotically equally expressive. Our third
contribution is to systematize the new results of this paper and several
previous results in order to get a preorder on a number of inference systems
that are of relevance in the context of machine learning and artificial
intelligence.
Coleópteros barrenadores de madera recolectados en trampas “Cross-Vane” en árboles de Mangifera indica: Nuevos reportes y nueva especie para Puerto Rico
Authors: Maldonado-Pinto Naomi M. , Cabrera-Asencio Irma
Published: November 2024

El orden Coleoptera incluye varias familias a las que pertenecen insectos barrenadores de madera cuyos efectos pueden ser detrimentales para los árboles frutales. Sin embargo, no hay muchos estudios realizados sobre la importancia de estos coleópteros barrenadores, especialmente en el cultivo del mangó (Mangifera indica). En este estudio, el objetivo fue observar cuáles especies de coleópteros barrenadores de madera eran recolectadas en trampas “Cross-Vane” utilizando cinco tipos de atrayentes. Los cinco atrayentes utilizados fueron: (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, nonanal, alfa-pineno, “Asian Longhorn Beetle Lure” y “Brown Spruce Lure”. Las capturas de los barrenadores y las evaluaciones de los atrayentes se realizaron en una finca comercial de mangó (M. indica) en Santa Isabel, Puerto Rico, entre septiembre de 2021 y febrero de 2023. Los resultados obtenidos con las trampas “Cross-Vane” indicaron que los atrayentes (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol y nonanal a dosis bajas fueron efectivos atrayendo insectos del orden Coleoptera. En la identificación de los coleópteros barrenadores de madera se encontraron miembros de las familias Curculionidae, Bostrichidae y Cerambycidae, con 517, 61 y 48 individuos, respectivamente. El grupo más abundante y diverso de barrenadores en el ensayo pertenecían a la subfamilia Scolytinae; dentro de este grupo se encontraron las especies Hypothenemus ascitus y H. javanus que son un primer reporte para Puerto Rico, en adición a una nueva especie de Xyleborus spn.
Anemias & Hemograma - serie roja
Authors: Henríquez Pérez Génesis Saraí , Vasquez Tercero Josué David , García Canales Jean Kenneth
Published: November 2024

La anemia se define como la disminución en la concentración de la hemoglobina. La OMS estableció rangos de referencia normales que dependen de la edad y el sexo y que cumpla con los criterios establecidos para índices globulares y concentración de hemoglobina. Los extremos etarios son, usualmente, los más afectados. No se debe caer en el error de considerar a la anemia como un diagnóstico etiológico, sino más bien como síndrome clínico con una causa subyacente que debe ser erradicada con el fin de evitar las complicaciones fisiopatológicas del curso de la misma. La sospecha diagnóstica puede lograrse a través del síndrome constitucional: hiporexia, astenia/adinamia, pérdida significativa involuntaria de peso (5% del peso corporal en los últimos 6 meses); que puede estar acompañada de palidez generalizada y taquicardia. El diagnóstico definitivo requiere pruebas laboratoriales que incluyen, pero no se limitan a, hemograma completo y frotis de sangre periférica.

The maps created of reinstated property after 1990 contain numerous errors. These errors have been transferred from the existing cadastral plans, comassation plans, land subdivision plan, aerial photo plans and a large-scale topographic maps created in the years 1964-1968. For the creation of maps of the reinstated property, the sources described above were used directly, without repeated aerial photography or deciphering of the objects as well as without the conduction of direct geodetic measurements [6, 8]. The presence of an obvious factual error is a relatively common phenomenon in the cadastral map. The same applies mainly to linear objects and it is quite possible to remove these errors. These errors can be corrected via separate projects for the specific errors, as well as via projects affecting a large part of land territory and even an entire land territory.

Published: November 2024

The subject of the presented work is a signet ring with an image of a heraldic lily. Only the main sealing part, filled with glass paste, in which the image is engraved, has been preserved from the object. The thin ring soldered to the tile is not preserved. The traces from the solder of the ring to the solder on the reverse side of the board are clearly visible. The latter has an elliptical shape with a scalloped outline and bud-like ornamentation above it. The central part of the object is occupied by a deep socket filled with greenish glass paste, in which the image of the heraldic lily is carved. Rings with images of lilies from the late Middle Ages are a whole group, and therefore this type of decoration can be considered one of the favorites of this period. Most of the ornaments are made entirely of metal, the more famous ones being silver and gold. The symbolic meaning of the lily is a reason for it to appear on various art monuments, such as the portraits of the founders from the church "St. Nicholas" in Stanichane (XIV century), the late medieval belts with appliqués in the shape of lilies from the territory of Bulgaria and many others . In this context, we can also place the current ring with an engraved image of a heraldic lily from the era of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom, found in the vicinity of Shumen and the Shumen Fortress, whose most active life was precisely during this period.

Results of the nationale survery on algerian beekeebing (breeding practices, health situation)
Authors: Haider Yamina , Adjlane Noureddine , Haddad Nizar
Published: November 2024

The honey bee plays a crucial role in maintaining plant biodiversity and environmental equilibrium, making beekeeping a vital activity in Algeria. However, the proliferation of Varroa ectoparasitic mites, causing varroasis, poses a significant threat to beekeeping in the region. This study, conducted between March and July 2022, aimed to comprehensively characterize the state of beekeeping in Algeria and identify its primary challenges. The survey was disseminated via email to beekeeping associations and individual beekeepers, with responses from 100 participants subjected to analysis, most of the respondents 97%, are men. 66% of the respondents practice sedentary and 34% transhumance. The findings shed light on the impediments to beekeeping development in recent years, including factors such as drought, elevated mortality rates, and the prevalence of bee pathologies. Notably, a significant portion of beekeepers refrains from conducting mortality analyses. The survey also revealed a substantial decline in honey production compared to previous years. However, positive aspects emerged, such as the presence of beekeepers employing sound beekeeping practices, including frame renewal, colony protection against adverse weather conditions, and the practice of transhumance. Furthermore, periodic varroasis screening in bee colonies was observed as a promising practice. Most beekeepers 98% use annual treatments for varroa mites in light of these findings, it is imperative for beekeeping associations to actively engage and take measures to organize and enhance the beekeeping sector, thereby addressing the current challenges.

Authors: Azizi Hakim , Chebout Mohammed , Sekki Daoud , Kihal Marouane , Kihal Mohammed Charif , Moulai Hocine
Published: November 2024

The paper proposes an inverse modeling approach for evaluating radiated electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in electronic components and circuits. To imitate the electromagnetic behavior of real devices, the suggested methodology generates an equivalent model using elementary dipoles. The Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm solves an inverse problem to identify dipole parameters such as locations, intensities, and orientations. This technique improves model accuracy and robustness through a two-phase exploration and exploitation process that allows for effective parameter tuning while reducing simulation time and computational resources. Recent research in near-field measurement techniques illustrates the importance of reliable predictive methodologies in EMC evaluation. This method provides significant information on the impacts of power systems on surrounding electronic circuits, making it a useful tool for EMC testing. It also promotes the development of immunity models for high-frequency applications. Overall, this methodology simplifies the examination procedure, resulting in higher design efficiency for a wide range of electronic systems.

In this study, a geothermal cooling system is developed to address extreme heat conditions in regions like Nawabshah, Pakistan, by utilising the earth’s stable underground temperature. This system uses ground-source cooling, powered by a 12V solar PV system or battery, as a low-energy alternative for areas with a limited electricity supply. The experiment demonstrates that a geothermal cooling system could help redress indoor temperatures by up to 16°C during peak summer, resulting in a lower grid-connected or fossil fuel-based cooling system requirement. The results obtained through this study suggest a significant reduction in indoor temperature, ultimately enhancing comfort levels and reducing the reliance on conventional cooling systems like air conditioning. Moreover, the system design is easily adaptable to other regions with similar climates, highlighting its potential for widespread use. However, pipe configuration optimisation is needed to minimise costs and maximise heat transfer rate. This research emphasises geothermal technologies' potential as a cost-effective cooling system, ultimately reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency.

Authors:   USA, Duvvur Vijayasekhar
Published: November 2024

This article discusses strategies for modernizing business correspondence systems to overcome limitations associated with legacy infrastructure and enhance scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency. Legacy correspondence systems often struggle with handling high volumes of notifications, integrating with modern platforms, and maintaining performance due to monolithic structures, lack of modularity, and outdated technology stacks. The article explores how migrating to cloud-based infrastructure, utilizing parallel processing frameworks, and implementing advanced computing techniques like microservices, containerization, and serverless computing can optimize these systems. It outlines specific solutions, including elastic scaling, distributed processing, event-driven architecture, and message queuing, that enable correspondence systems to manage sudden increases in notifications effectively. These techniques help reduce operational costs, improve fault tolerance, and ensure seamless integration with modern digital platforms. Ultimately, by transforming legacy systems with these approaches, organizations can build a future-ready communication framework that aligns with contemporary operational demands, enhancing user experience and delivering sustainable value.

chaotic image encryption method based on three-dimensional nonlinear system
Authors: Y. Wanbo  , Z. Qinwu  , Z. Qingjian3
Published: November 2024

Due to the simple structure of one-dimensional chaotic mapping, there may be problems such as lack of security in applying to image encryption; so many researchers have proposed some high-dimensional chaotic mapping to apply to image encryption. However, high-dimensional chaotic mapping may be difficult to be applied in practice because of its complex structure and high cost. So this paper proposes an image encryption method with a relatively simple structure, low cost, and good encryption effect. The Proposed method combines a chaotic system with 3D nonlinear function iterative systems to encrypt images. First, a sequence is generated iteratively according to the given chaotic system, and then the sequence is used to call multiple three-dimensional nonlinear function systems in the group and perform operations in turn; then the iterative operations are performed according to the image size; finally, the chaotic sequence generated by the iteration and the grayscale image is subjected to an XOR operation. The phase diagram and bifurcation diagram determine the iterative sequence to have chaotic solid properties. The algorithm performs only a simple XOR operation, but the experimental results show the scheme is feasible.
