Published: July 2021

The results of study are influenced by some factors. Parenting patterns and  learning interests are factors that influence Music learning outcome. The formulation of the problem in this study is (1) whether there is a relationship between parenting patterns on the learning outcomes of Music Arts; (2) whether there is a relationship between interest in the learning outcomes of Music; (3) whether there is a relationship between parenting patterns and interest in the learning outcomes of Music. The purposes of the study were (1)to find out whether there is a relationship between parenting styles and learning outcomes in music; (2) to know whether there is a relationship of interest to the learning outcomes of music; (3) to find out whether there is a relationship between parenting patterns and mutual interest in the results of learning music. The results showed that: (1) there was a positive relationship between parenting style and learning outcomes in Music, with the interpretation of the closeness of the correlation showing a small category, which was 9.48%; (2) there was a positive relationship between interest in the learning outcomes of Music, with the interpretation of the closeness of the correlation indicating the sufficient category, which was 11.42%; (3) there was a positive relationship between parenting and interest in the learning outcomes of Music, with the interpretation of the closeness of the correlation indicating the sufficient category, which was 37.82%. The conclusion of this study was that there was a positive and significant relationship between parenting and interest together on the learning outcomes of Music. The application of parenting with a democratic attitude by paying attention, caring, and respecting children's freedom, as well as guiding with understanding can create conditions for children to study music diligently, both in theory and practice. Thus, children's music learning outcomes can certainly increase.

Published: July 2021

Since its appearance until now, Kenthongan is still exist and its journey has changed its function, from a means of communication to become a folk art. Banyumas is an area that has a lot of bamboo plants as materials for making Kenthongan which has the potential for development. Kenthongan art in Banyumas exists and develops until now. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify and explain the existence of Kenthongan as a folk art in the Banyumas. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with an ethnomusicological approach. Kenthongan as a cultural product (living tradition) has been present as a folk art since its inception, having the form of a slit-drum and developing into a non-slit-drum. The development of the non-slit-drum form is an adaptation of Gambang Calung Banyumas’ blade. Kenthongan non-slit-drum developed in three stages, namely 1) in 2002, 2) in 2005 and 3) in 2013. Its development includes the form and the function of which it was originally a rhythmic instrument in 2002-2005 developed into a melodic instrument in 2013.

Background

In addition to increased cardiovascular risk, patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) also suffer from impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and psychological symptoms. We assessed for changes in HRQoL and depressive symptoms in a cohort of Asian patients with PA, after surgical and medical therapy.

Methods

Thirty-four patients with PA were prospectively recruited and completed questionnaires from 2017 to 2020. HRQoL was assessed using RAND-36 and EQ-5D-3L, and depressive symptoms were assessed using Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) at baseline, 6 months, and 1 year post-treatment.

Results

At 1 year post-treatment, significant improvement was observed in both physical and mental summative scores of RAND-36, +3.65, P = 0.023, and +3.41, P = 0.033, respectively, as well as four subscale domains (physical functioning, bodily pain, role emotional, and mental health). Significant improvement was also seen in EQ-5D dimension of anxiety/depression at 1 year post-treatment. Patients treated with surgery (n = 21) had significant improvement in EQ-5D index score post-treatment and better EQ-5D outcomes compared to the medical group (n = 13) at 1 year post-treatment. 37.9, 41.6 and 58.6% of patients had symptoms in the cognitive, affective and somatic domains of BDI-II, respectively. There was a significant improvement in the affective domain of BDI-II at 1 year post-treatment.

Conclusion

Both surgical and medical therapy improve HRQoL and psychological symptoms in patients with PA, with surgery providing better outcomes. This highlights the importance of early diagnosis, accurate subtyping and appropriate treatment of PA.

Published: July 2021

PIWI proteins play important roles in germline development in the mammals. However, the functions of PIWIs in crustaceans remain unknown. In the present study, we identified three Piwis from the testis of Eriocheir sinensis (E. sinensis). Three Piwi genes encoded proteins with typical features of PIWI subfamilies and were highly expressed in the testis. Three PIWIs could be detected in the cytoplasm of spermatocytes and spermatids, while in spermatozoa, we could only detect PIWI1 and PIWI3 in the nucleus. The knockdown of PIWIs by dsRNA significantly affected the formation of the nuclei in spermatozoa, which resulted in deviant and irregular nuclei. PIWI defects significantly inhibited the apoptosis of abnormal germ cells through the caspase-dependent apoptosis pathway and p53 pathway. Knockdown of PIWIs inhibited the expression of caspase (Casp) 3, 7, 8, and p53 without affecting Bcl2 (B-cell lymphoma gene 2), Bax (B-cell lymphoma-2-associated X), and BaxI (B-cell lymphoma-2-associated X inhibitor), which further significantly increased abnormal spermatozoa in the knockdown-group crabs. These results show a new role of PIWI proteins in crustaceans that is different from that in mammals. In summary, PIWIs play roles in the formation of the germline nucleus and can maintain apoptosis in abnormal germ cells to remove abnormal germ cells in E. sinensis.

Published: July 2021

Con 20 años, la infanta española Paz de Borbón poseía ya un importante joyero. Así lo demuestra el inventario redactado en 1883 con motivo de sus esponsales, texto que se convierte en una valiosa fuente de información acerca de tipos, motivos decorativos, materiales y tasación de joyas que bien podrían pertenecer a cualquier otra dama de alta sociedad del último tercio del siglo XIX. Entre ellas se han destacado algunas de las que le fueron regaladas, precisamente, por sus nupcias, identificadas gracias a las noticias publicadas por la prensa. Igualmente, la comparación entre el documento y los retratos de la infanta permite el reconocimiento de ciertas de esas joyas.
La «mala educación» en el ‘Libro del caballero et del escudero’ de don Juan Manuel
Authors: Heusch Carlos
Published: July 2021

Estudio sobre lo caballeresco en el Libro del caballero et del escudero de don Juan Manuel, partiendo de la paradoja que la parte sobre caballería no va más allá de dos folios de los veinticuatro de que consta el tratado. Don Juan Manuel retoma ideas generales del Libro sobre la orden de caballería de Ramón Llull y del título 21 de la Segunda Partida de Alfonso X. El estudio se centra luego en intentar comprender cuál sería la «mala» y la «buena» educación para el caballero según don Juan Manuel para acabar con las ambiguas relaciones entre saber y caballería a las que alude el tratado. El caballero no necesita ciencia y sin embargo de lo que más habla el tratado es de los saberes de las escuelas. ¿Cómo comprender esa nueva paradoja?

Published: July 2021

Вступ. Процеси цифровізації економіки, пов'язані з розгортанням технологій Четвертої промислової революції, є багатоаспектними й чинять суттєвий вплив, зокрема й на навколишнє середовище, що зачіпає інтереси майбутніх поколінь.Проблематика. Прискорення цифровізації супроводжується суперечливими позитивними і негативними ефектами для довкілля. Зважаючи на це, актуальною проблемою є визначення цих ефектів як на глобальному, так і на національному рівнях.Мета. Виявити взаємозв'язки цифрової та зеленої економіки й обґрунтувати шляхи екологічно безпечного розвитку цифрових технологій в Україні.Матеріали й методи. Кластеризація країн світу за ознаками економічного, промислового й цифрового розвитку;економетричний аналіз залежностей між показниками розвитку інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій і екологічної ефективності в країнах світу та їх групах (кластерах) за 2017—2020 рр.Результати. Встановлено, що на глобальному рівні впровадження сучасних цифрових технологій має загалом позитивний зв'язок зі станом довкілля: чим вищим є рівень цифровізації, тим більш екологічно чистими, за інших рівних умов, є національні економіки. З’ясовано, що екологічна ефективність цифровізації залежить від рівня виробничих (фізичних) технологій та загального економічного розвитку держави. У кластерах менш розвинених країн, зокрема й в Україні, яка має суттєві проблеми у сферах промисловості й інновацій, поширення цифрових технологій має менший позитивний вплив на екологію, ніж у кластерах більш розвинених країн. Тому довгострокові позитивні ефекти цифровізації для України не є очевидними, а негативні можуть бути серйозними.Висновки. Для мінімізації екологічних ризиків цифровізації в Україні потрібно розробити національну академічну програму комплексної оцінки різних аспектів (абіотичних, біотичних, техногенних, антропогенних) впливу новітніх цифрових технологій на довкілля, а також узгодити програми цифровізації економіки із загальною стратегією розвитку національного виробництва на інноваційній основі.

Published: July 2021

Introduction. Bentonite clays are traditional inexpensive and effective adsorbents that have a high potential for removing heavy metals from wastewater due to their abundance, chemical and mechanical stability, high exchange ability, and unique structural properties.Problem Statement. To obtain activated carbon, high-temperature muffle furnaces are used with the consumption of a large amount of electricity, which is economically unprofitable. In addition, the resulting sorbents must be in the form of granules or tablets, have high strength and the ability to be repeatedly used in technological processes.Purpose. Development of a method for the production of low-cost granular sorbents based on bentonite as amineral component, activated carbon, as well as natural production waste (sunflower husk, straw, sawdust, etc. as modifiers), which can be removed from the activation process to increase porosity of these materials.Materials and Methods. Angren brown coal; bentonite of the Navbakhor deposit was used as a sorbent and a basic substance for the granules formation; modifiers were sodium chloride, potassium, chopped straw, sawdust. Methods of thermal decarbonization and activation of the obtained granules under the optimal conditions (950 °С, 45 min) were applied; the bulk density, the specific surface area, pore types and their total volume was determined by optical microscopy and nitrogen adsorption methods.Results. Inexpensive hybrid bentonite-carbon sorbents in the form of high-strength granules were synthesized.The optimal ratio of the main components is Bentonite:Coal = 1 : 2, size (2.5 mm) and strength of granules (83—99%), total pore volume 0.863—1.01 cm3/g, confirmed the presence of macro-, meso- and micropores. The most promising sample has a specific surface area (Langmuir) 184 m2/g.Conclusions. The method for obtaining new effective granular carbon sorbents of low cost, having high sorption capacity relative to organic and inorganic pollutants for purification of industrial process waters has been proposed.

Published: July 2021

Com o propósito de avaliar o desempenho de cinco cultivares de brócolis em manejo fitossanitário convencional e alternativo - sem o uso de agrotóxicos sintéticos, foram realizados dois experimentos na Epagri, Estação Experimental de Ituporanga. Foi adotado delineamento em blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições, tendo como parcelas vinte plantas de cada cultivar. As mudas foram transplantadas sobre palhada de milheto e mucuna no espaçamento de 0,5 m x 0,8 m em fevereiro de 2018 e 2019. Houve diferenças entre os cultivares para as variáveis, exceto para o peso médio da cabeça, no manejo convencional, e para o número médio de folhas por planta com infestação de mosca-branca, no alternativo. Os híbridos de brócolis BRO 68, Legacy e Master, destacaram-se em produtividade e qualidade, sendo os mais indicados para a semeadura em cultivos de entressafra, verão/outono, na região do Alto Vale do Itajaí-SC. O cultivar BRO 68 apresentou menores níveis de desfolha por lagartas em ambos sistemas de manejo. Os resultados revelam ainda que é possível realizar o controle de pragas e doenças com produtos fitossanitários de menor toxicidade, ou seja, com menor teor de resíduos de agrotóxicos sintéticos.

An autophagy-related long non-coding RNA signature for patients with colorectal cancer
Authors: Zhao Dongyan , Sun Xizhen , Long Sidan , Yao Shukun
Published: July 2021

Aim

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified to regulate cancers by controlling the process of autophagy and by mediating the post-transcriptional and transcriptional regulation of autophagy-related genes. This study aimed to investigate the potential prognostic role of autophagy-associated lncRNAs in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.

Methods

LncRNA expression profiles and the corresponding clinical information of CRC patients were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Based on the TCGA dataset, autophagy-related lncRNAs were identified by Pearson correlation test. Univariate Cox regression analysis and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analysis (LASSO) Cox regression model were performed to construct the prognostic gene signature. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to further clarify the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Results

We obtained 210 autophagy-related genes from the whole dataset and found 1187 lncRNAs that were correlated with the autophagy-related genes. Using Univariate and LASSO Cox regression analyses, eight lncRNAs were screened to establish an eight-lncRNA signature, based on which patients were divided into the low-risk and high-risk group. Patients’ overall survival was found to be significantly worse in the high-risk group compared to that in the low-risk group (log-rank p = 2.731E-06). ROC analysis showed that this signature had better prognostic accuracy than TNM stage, as indicated by the area under the curve. Furthermore, GSEA demonstrated that this signature was involved in many cancer-related pathways, including TGF-β, p53, mTOR and WNT signaling pathway.

Conclusions

Our study constructed a novel signature from eight autophagy-related lncRNAs to predict the overall survival of CRC, which could assistant clinicians in making individualized treatment.

The eastern or as an assertive known as a terrorist, unhuman, and far from humane proportion. While in Islam itself, there is rahmatan li al-‘alamin. These things make the researcher interested in examining deeper what it means to be a rahmatan li al-‘alamin in Koran as a source of that word. Apart from the phrase rahmatan li al-‘alamin, a rahmat word is not connected to the li al-‘alamin word (universe) in the Koran. What also precisely is the difference between grace (rahmat) and rahmatan li al-‘alamin. Indonesia is a plural nation. That is not only ethnic, language, and custom tradition, but also religion. How is the relationship between faith in diversity frame? Is there relevance of li al-‘alamin in the diversity frame of religious people?

Published: July 2021

The 1997 economic crisis was a situation in which the Asian economy experienced a drastic decline which was triggered by Thai finance. At that time Thailand, burdened by huge foreign debt, decided to develop the Baht currency after attacks by currency speculators on the country's foreign reserves. This monetary shift was aimed at stimulating export earnings but this strategy actually had a bad impact. This has had the effect of transmitting to several countries in other Asian regions, such as South Korea and Indonesia. In responding to the formulation of this phenomenon, South Korea and Indonesia have their own policies to overcome the 1997 Economic Crisis.Thus, in order to understand the decision-making process in foreign policy, a level of analysis is needed, namely using idiosyncratic theory and small theory. Using a qualitative approach, this research generates ideas to understand the background to the policy process it created to address the issue of the 1997 Economic Crisis.

Published: July 2021

Abstract Behavior is a useful trait for comparative studies that provide the comprehension of phylogenetic relationships among species. Here, we present a description of two spiny-rats species’ behavioral repertoire, Clyomys laticeps and Trinomys setosus (Rodentia: Echimyidae). The affiliative and agonistic behavioral patterns were sampled during a three-year study of captive populations of wild animals. Observational data were collected in two phases under different arrangements of individuals in groups. We also compare the behavioral traits of T. setosus and C. laticeps with the known behavioral patterns of Trinomys yonenagae. We add categories to the previous descriptions of T. setosus and a standard ethogram for C. laticeps. Trinomys setosus showed a visual and vocal display we called foot-trembling, which was not described in this form and function for other species studied until now. We discuss the differences in their sociality levels and similarities and differences among behavior patterns and repertoires.

Published: July 2021

Resumo Contexto Atualmente, recomenda-se como primeira opção cirúrgica de varizes a termoablação da veia safena; porém, esse procedimento não é realizado pelo Sistema Único de Saúde do Brasil. Como forma de incluir melhores resultados, técnicas cirúrgicas esforçam-se para mimetizar as novas tecnologias sem seus custos, sendo a principal delas a realização da safenectomia convencional sem ligadura das suas tributárias. Objetivos Avaliar a evolução do coto residual após safenectomia sem ligadura alta da junção safeno-femoral associada à invaginação do mesmo, assim como avaliar o comportamento das veias acessórias anterior/posterior. Métodos Estudo prospectivo e intervencionista. Foram operados 52 membros pela técnica de safenectomia sem ligadura alta da junção safeno-femoral seguida da invaginação do coto residual. Os pacientes foram avaliados no pré e pós-operatório (7 dias, 3, 6 e 12 meses) através de ultrassonografia vascular com Doppler para análise de diâmetro e extensão do coto residual, diâmetro e refluxo na veia acessória anterior/posterior e presença de neovascularização. A análise estatística foi realizada por média, desvio padrão, mediana, valor mínimo e máximo, frequências e percentuais, teste de Fisher e bimodal. Resultados Evidenciou-se um efeito significativo do tempo sobre a medida de diâmetro (p < 0,001) e da extensão (p = 0,002) do coto residual, porém o mesmo não foi observado quanto ao diâmetro (p = 0,355) ou refluxo na veia acessória anterior. Foi identificada neovascularização em 7 (14,3%) membros. Conclusões Após a utilização da técnica descrita, o coto residual apresentou retração e diminuição do seu diâmetro no período de 1 ano e não transmitiu refluxo para veia acessória. As taxas de neovascularização foram condizentes com a literatura.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed at performing cytometric phenotyping of the blood samples from free-living, young white-eyed parakeets (Psittacara leucophthalmus), stained with 3,3-dihexyloxacarbocyanine [DiOC6(3)]. DiOC6(3)-stained whole blood samples from 19 free-living, young white-eyed parakeets were analyzed by flow cytometry and cell types were distinguished by their typical fluorescence in blue laser channel (FL-1) and SSC (side scatter). It was possible to differentiate erythrocytes (58.3±13.6) from leukocytes (32.4±13.1) and some of the leucocyte subpopulations: lymphocytes/thrombocytes (29.7±7.7), monocytes (30.6±8.5), and granulocytes (5.9-26). However, lymphocytes and thrombocytes could not be sorted in the plots. Our study determined that the predominant population in white-eyed parakeet (P. leucophthalmus) was lymphocytes, thrombocytes, and monocytes in the leucocytes gates in comparison to the granulocyte population. The cytometry method and use of DiOC6(3) stain was available for parakeets blood samples and can be studied and applied to other species of parrots.

ABSTRACT: This study assessed microscopic morphology of protozoan and metazoan parasites, as well as parasite-associated histopathologic changes in five Brazilian free-ranging armadillos. Three armadillos had intra sarcolemmal cysts of Sarcocystis sp. in skeletal muscles without microscopic changes. One Dasypus novemcinctus was found parasitized with a nematode morphologically compatible with an oxyurid in the small intestine. One Dasypus sp. had neutrophilic enteritis associated with adult and larval stages of Strongyloides sp. and one D. novemcinctus had multiple embryonated eggs free in the lumen of the small intestine with mild neutrophilic enteritis. These findings represent a contribution for expanding our knowledge on parasitic diseases of armadillos.

RESUMO As relações intergovernamentais são cruciais para explicar a descentralização de políticas públicas. Após a redemocratização, o Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (Pnae) seguiu a trajetória de outras políticas sociais no Brasil: houve a universalização dos repasses de recursos financeiros da União por adesão direta dos municípios. Em 2009, foi criada por lei federal a exigência de que no mínimo 30% das compras de alimentos do Pnae fossem adquiridas da agricultura familiar. O presente artigo pretendeu identificar o padrão de relações intergovernamentais presente na implementação da política de compras da agricultura familiar para a merenda escolar. Para tanto, foram realizadas análise documental e entrevistas com gestores municipais e federais. Como resultado, observou-se uma descentralização desigual e assimétrica desse programa. Os elementos de coerção e cooperação se misturam para produção de uma limitada coordenação do programa, tendo destaque o papel exercido por atores da política de desenvolvimento agrário.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Ileitis is defined as an inflammation of the ileum, which is evaluated during colonoscopy. Biopsies should be performed on altered ileus, aiding to the diagnosis. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the correlation of anatomopathological findings on ileitis between pathologists and endoscopists. METHODS: A retrospective, cross-sectional study, between 2013 and 2017. Examination report, indications for colonoscopy, and medical records were evaluated to identify whether the colonoscopic findings were clinically significant. Anatomopathological samples were reviewed by a pathologist expert in gastrointestinal tract. Patients over 18 years of age who had undergone ileoscopy were included, whereas patients below 18 years of age and those with previous intestinal resections were excluded. The correlation was assessed using the kappa coefficient index. RESULTS: A total of 5833 colonoscopies were conducted in the study period and 3880 cases were included. Ileal alterations were observed in 206 cases, with 2.94% being clinically significant. A hundred and sixty three biopsies were evaluated using the kappa index, resulting in agreement among pathologists of 0.067 and among pathologist and endoscopist of 0.141. CONCLUSION: It was observed that despite the low concordance between pathologists and endoscopists, there was no change in patient outcomes. This study confirms the importance of knowledge of the main anatomopathological changes related to ileitis by pathologists and endoscopists, making the best diagnosis and follow-up.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate sweet potato performance in succession to annual herbaceous leguminous plants, in monocropping or intercropped with corn, under agroecological management, under Baixada Fluminense conditions. The experimental design was randomized blocks, with five treatments and four replicates. The treatments consisted of pre-cropping with the following species: crotalária (Crotalaria juncea) under monocropping system, crotalária intercropped with corn (Zea mays), jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) under monocropping system, jack bean intercropped with corn and spontaneous vegetation. The results showed that monocropped crotalária reached the greatest dry biomass accumulation during two consecutive years of succession. In the second year, this treatment provided greater accumulated amounts of N, K and Mg in plant biomass. Growing sweet potatoes in succession to the pre-cropping of crotalária is advantageous, as it provided an increase in vegetable productivity in the second year of succession.

ABSTRACT Jambu has spilanthol and phenolic compounds that are responsible for several medicinal properties. Besides improving nutrient absorption, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can change secondary metabolites’ yield. Thus, the aim of the current study was to evaluate AMF inoculation and P influence on shoot dry biomass yield, macronutrient content (N, P, K, Ca and Mg), total phenol contents and spilanthol percentage in jambu plants. The experiment followed a randomized block design at 3x4 factorial arrangement, with two AMF (Rhizophagus clarus and Claroideoglomus etunicatum) and without AMF, at four P doses (0, 30, 60 and 90 mg/kg of soil), with four replicates. Plants inoculated with R. clarus and C. etunicatum, grown without phosphate fertilization, presented increase by 23 and 12 times, respectively, in comparison to plants without AMF. The relative spilanthol area in plants inoculated with R. clarus, without phosphate fertilization, reached 2.4%. Shoot dry biomass yield of jambu plants and the P, K, Ca and Mg contents were higher when plants were inoculated with R. clarus at the lowest P doses. The AMF also increased the contents of total phenols in plants fertilized with 60 mg kg-1. This P dose increased spilanthol concentration in jambu plants inoculated with C. etunicatum.

ABSTRACT Leaf area measurement is pivotal for plant physiologists. Hence, accurate measurement of their leaf area is incredibly relevant in agronomic terms. The plant Stevia rebaudiana is a sucrose-free plant species that is now vital to the global production of sucrose-free foods. Here, we estimated S. rebaudiana leaf area using a nondestructive methodology comprising allometric equations. Through leaf length (L), leaf width (W), and/or their product (LW) the leaf area was determined. One thousand leaves were sampled from four distinct S. rebaudiana genotypes for model construction. Linear or power models were generated, and the best equation was selected using a statistical criterion. The statistical criteria indicated that the linear models best suited all genotypes tested, included a function of LW, exhibited increased stability, and precisely estimated coefficients. ANOVA revealed that both generalized and combined equations were feasible. Nevertheless, grouping all genotypes into a single model was not possible as the genotype leaf architectures were very dissimilar.

ABSTRACT Sweet potato is a vegetable of great importance in human consumption, due to its high nutritional value. It presents high phenotypic variation, with different forms of roots, leaves and vines. Given the above, we aimed to study the genetic divergence of sweet potato genotypes based on morpho-agronomic traits. The experiment was conducted in an experimental area of Unesp, Ilha Solteira Campus, located in Selvíria-MS. The experimental design used was randomized blocks with two replicates, including 200 genotypes and ‘Beauregard’ as a biofortified control. Shoot morphological traits of the genotypes were evaluated at 110 days and root morphological traits were evaluated at 127 days after planting. We used the obtained data to perform descriptive analysis, in percentage of phenotypic classes. In order to study genetic divergence, multivariate analysis was performed, grouping was done using Tocher’s and Ward’s methods. We also analyzed relative contribution of each trait for genetic divergence. Statistical analyzes were performed using Genes software and SAS. Wide genetic variability could be verified in the population studied in this experiment, being possible to obtain genetic gains in recombination between genotypes. Grouping using Tocher’s method was more effective for discriminating dissimilarity between genotypes. The low relative importance of leaf size, internode diameter and secondary peel color makes further evaluation of these traits unnecessary, reducing labor costs, cost and execution time.
Influence of the equivalent electric load strategy on energy demand forecasting
Authors: Vialetto Giulio , Noro Marco
Published: July 2021

In recent years, interest in artificial intelligence has been increasing in the energy sector, with the aim of improving efficiency and decreasing overall consumption. Innovative methods such as pattern recognition, artificial neural networks or other machine learning methods are being investigated to improve the accuracy of forecasting. Moreover, a suitable operation strategy may improve the efficiency of energy systems. The electric equivalent load is an operation strategy proposed for systems where electricity and heat (or cooling) are requested simultaneously, and there is equipment such as a heat pump to cover the heating (or cooling) load. In this paper, the electric equivalent load is defined to cover both the electricity request of the user and the electricity consumption of the heat pump. Thus, the energy system follows the electric equivalent load to cover both electricity and heating/cooling requests. This study aims to analyse how the accuracy varies when forecasting energy requests (e.g. electricity and heat) separately with respect to forecasting directly the electric equivalent load. The results show that electric equivalent load forecasting averages the accuracy of electricity and heat, improving the operation system by decreasing the electricity demand from the grid and increasing energy production during peak hours.

Educating traffic knowledge and safe behaviours to children is an effective strategy for improving their traffic safety. However, due to the physical and cognitive limitations of children, implementing a proper and effective education and training programme can be complicated. It is thus vital to investigate how the effectiveness of such programmes can be improved. To this end, 200 children aged 6–9 years were asked to participate in this study. Different characteristics of the children and their parents were obtained using several forms and questionnaires. Structural equation modelling was then used to analyse the importance of contributing factors. The difference between the score of each child before and after completing the education programme was defined as their traffic educability. The results showed that children who do better in school, children who have older siblings and those who are more active have greater potential to learn traffic knowledge. Furthermore, with respect to parents, having a higher education level, driving frequently, trying to highlight the importance of traffic rules in front of children and being concerned about children's trip safety can increase children's ability in traffic education.

The stability of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills is a significant environmental concern. The performance of landfills during earthquakes should be evaluated to ensure their stability. The geometry and material types of MSW landfills are the main factors affecting their seismic response. In this study, the individual and coupled impact of these factors is investigated using numerical analyses. Amplification factors (AFs = Accsurface/Accbase) are investigated for six common MSW landfill types, namely canyon type, hill type, side-hill types 1 and 2 and stepped-base types 1 and 2. The results show that landfill types have significantly different behaviours due to their geometry and waste material properties. For low stiffness contrasts, the stepped-base landfill type has the minimum and the hill type experiences the maximum AF, 1.74 and 3.53, respectively. However, for high stiffness contrasts, the canyon type has the minimum AF (0.46) due to the effect of damping and thickness of the waste. Therefore, the proper geometry of the MSW landfills should be designed for specific waste material properties according to the seismic response.
