The diversity of genes for the synthesis of opines and their products in representatives of various taxa
Authors: Shaposhnikov Anton D. , Matveeva Tatiana V.
Published: August 2023

Opines are low molecular weight organic substances that occur in marine invertebrates, bacteria, some plants and fungi. Such an unusual range of organisms suggests the importance of studying and systematizing knowledge about the functions of these compounds and the genetic control of their metabolism. In recent years, new data have emerged on plants containing genes for the synthesis of opines as a result of horizontal gene transfer from agrobacteria. This review is devoted to systematization of information about opine synthase genes, their products and functions of the latter.
Weak local fault diagnosis of gearboxes based on adaptive inertia factor particle swarm independent component analysis

Published: August 2023

Due to the interference of surrounding noise when collecting the vibration signal of a fixed shaft gearbox, it is impossible to extract the fault features contained in the vibration signal with a high degree of accuracy and this reduces the accuracy of fault diagnosis of the gearbox.
Aiming at this problem, this paper proposes a method for local weak fault diagnosis of gears based on improved independent component analysis (ICA). Firstly, for the shortcomings of ICA, such as high requirements for initial value selection, ease of falling into local extrema and the need
to derive formulae in advance, this paper proposes to improve the separation performance of the algorithm by combining ICA with particle swarm optimisation (PSO). Also aiming at the shortcomings of slow convergence of PSO and decreased searchability in the later iteration, this paper proposes
an adaptive inertia weight particle swarm optimisation (AIWPSO) algorithm by introducing the roulette idea into PSO. Then, combining ICA with AIWPSO, an independent component analysis method for adaptive inertia weight particle swarm optimisation (AIWPSO-ICA) is proposed to improve the signal
separation performance. Finally, based on AIWPSO-ICA, a method for diagnosing weak local faults of gears is offered. The simulation signals and the real data experimental results verify the effectiveness and superiority over conventional AIWPSO-ICA.

Technological innovation has long been seen as a hallmark of progress in the modern world. While these advances may facilitate advantages to individual and social well-being, they have the potential for creating new areas of risk and expanding on those that already exist. In addition, a global pandemic has reshaped how we interact with one another, as more people connect online. Social work’s ongoing relationship with technology necessitates that we evaluate and re-envision how tech ethics create, shape, and transform social work practice. This paper has three goals. First, we argue that technologies have long been a hidden driver of social work practice and provide an initial mapping of their current influence. Second, we introduce the Ethical OS as a tool for conceptualizing ethical issues that may arise in social work practice, education, and policy. We ask if this tool could promote seeing around corners regarding how developing technologies might be advantageous or disadvantageous for reference or consumer groups. For example, how do they reify historical injustices such as structural racism and how do they offer remediation? Third, we discuss the importance of building coherent, social work tech habits of mind, in practice now and for the future

Published: August 2023

We know little about social work students’ experience with financial hardship, especially food and housing insecurity, during their academic programs. This knowledge gap is problematic because food and housing insecurity negatively impact student success. In response, we surveyed 125 social work students of a public, Midwestern U.S. university in 2019 to investigate students’ experience with food and housing insecurity, as well as the factors associated with food and housing insecurity. We conducted descriptive and multivariate analyses, finding that 56% of students reported food or housing insecurity. Student financial characteristics, such as filing a FAFSA and taking out loans, were associated with food and housing insecurity. Students who identified as female and nonbinary were more likely to experience housing insecurity. Finally, we found that food and housing insecurity were each associated with lower reported grade point averages. Suggestions for intervention include schools of social work offering paid practica and emergency funds as well as advocating for improved student loan forgiveness programs at the national level.
“If Another Person Says, ‘You’re So Articulate,’ So Help Me”
Authors: Miller Berg , Ball Annahita
Published: August 2023

Few studies have examined the nature of microaggressions experienced by employees of human service agencies. This exploratory study identified the types of microaggressions that women and non-binary people of color experience within their agency settings. Narrative data were collected using a web survey. The survey consisted of two instruments, both developed by the researcher--a non-categorical demographic questionnaire and a survey that asked participants about their experiences of four types of workplace microaggressions. The sample consisted of 52 self-identified women and non-binary people of color employed by non-profit agencies or governmental departments providing human services in the United States. Data were analyzed by applying interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) and a constant comparative approach, generating three overarching themes: (a) misperceptions of identity or circumstances, (b) navigating racial stereotypes, and (c) racialized objectification. Findings stress the importance of addressing microaggressions among employees to foster inclusive workplaces and the salience of race/ethnicity as a targeted identity in the human service professions. Recommendations include the development of workplace policies that create clear and effective avenues for addressing subtle discrimination. Individual social workers can effectively implement these policies by acknowledging, validating, and ultimately reducing unintended harm to colleagues.

Authors: Sullivan W. Patrick , Hostetter Carol , Commodore-Mensah Miriam
Published: August 2023

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the adoption of telehealth in behavioral healthcare was rapidly accepted. This article reflects one component of a larger qualitative study that sought to understand the personal and professional experiences of front-line workers and their supervisors during the pivot to virtual services during the COVID-19 pandemic. The current article is focused on the question, what were mental health workers’ reactions, both personal and professional, to the rapid adoption of technology in their community mental health center practice? Thirty-six mental health professionals, ranging from front line workers to supervisors, participated in telephone and Zoom interviews between late August and mid-November 2020. Respondents spoke of their organization’s rapid response, the switch to telehealth for many services, the impact of this switch on professional practice, and their perceptions of the effectiveness of virtual services. They also shared their thoughts about the future of telehealth. The rapid changes, necessary for clients and the organization alike, brought an opportunity to reimagine service delivery. As social work is a profession that heavily emphasizes ethics and advocacy, and is the predominant professional group in community mental health, the final section examines implications for social work practice including practice ethics, consideration of factors on a micro, macro, and environmental level, the need to balance protection of the individual with the rights of many, and the necessity to take care of those doing the work as well.

Authors: KANAR Muharrem , CAM Necmi , İPEK Enver , ÖZDEMİR Hacı Mustafa
Published: August 2023

Aim: Arthroplasty infections are serious and difficult to treat complications. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is an oxidant produced endogenously in the body as a physiological part of the inflammatory process, with the aim of eliminating pathogens activated by neutrophils. The aim of this study was to evaluate the positive and negative effects on clinical results of HOCl used as an irrigation solution during surgical treatment.
Material and Methods: The study included 37 patients who underwent single- or two-stage revision surgery at the University of Health Sciences Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic between January 2017 and December 2021. Treatment was applied according to our standard protocol of irrigation with 450 cc HOCl following implant removal and an additional 50 cc HOCl to the subcutaneous tissue after closing the fascia. The patients were evaluated during follow-up in respect of infections.
Results: While single-stage revision surgery applied to 20 patients, two-stage revision surgery applied to 17 patients. 17 (45.9%) of the patients were male and 20 (54.1%) were female with a mean age of 72.8±11.1 years. The mean follow-up period was 25.8±14.1 months. Revision surgery was performed on one patient in each of the single and two-stage surgery groups. A success rate of 94.6% (n=37) was obtained when all patients were evaluated.
Conclusion: The HOCl solution can be considered to make a positive contribution to the eradication of infections in revision hip arthroplasty and can be an effective and safe alternative to other irrigation solutions.

Objetivo. Conocer cómo influye la visión de los pacientes discrómatas, particularmente de tipo congénito (deuteranómalos, protanómalos, deuteranopes y protanopes), en su vida cotidiana escolar, laboral o profesional y las principales dificultades enfrentadas, de acuerdo con el modelo biopsicosocial. Método. Se diseñó un instrumento de calidad de vida del paciente discrómata en el que se incluyeron diferentes categorías de la vida cotidiana, con un total de veintitrés reactivos que fueron aplicados a todos los pacientes diagnosticados con alguna discromatopsia en el gabinete de color de la Clínica de Optometría de la Facultad de Estudios Superiores Iztacala, de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (fes Iztacala). Resultados. El estudio consta de catorce pacientes discrómatas congénitos de sexo masculino, en el que se demuestra que los pacientes deuteran se dan cuenta de su estado tardíamente, al contrario de los protan, que lo advierten muy jóvenes; pasa lo mismo con la cantidad de colores no percibidos (el protan ve menos cantidad de colores). Conclusiones. Son reducidos los trabajos que evalúan cómo vive el paciente con discromatopsia, por lo que se concluye que es importante no dejar de lado la parte cualitativa de la percepción del color, puesto que la adaptación del paciente depende del tipo y la severidad de dicha condición.

Published: August 2023

Ships are a mode of transportation that is often used by the community as a link between the islands. People generally use the ferry as a mode of crossing in addition to the economical price but also comfort is still preferred. But in recent years, researchers have often heard cases of shipwrecks. Especially ship crossing accidents caused by overturned ships. Based on this, prevention is needed to reduce the number of ship accidents in the future. One of the keys that can be taken is to improve the technical analysis before the ship is designed. One such analysis related to the ship is seakeeping ship. The method used in this study is to use strip – theory method through OSM program. This method is one of the commonly used methods because it calculates the 3D model into 2D. The results showed the effect of the use of Bilge keel on the ferry Ro-Ro tested with conditions x0, x1, x2, and x3 on the condition of the stationary ship with a wave height of 1.5 m and heading 90 deg. The addition of Bilge keel is able to reduce the resonance of roll motion up to 58% in conditions of variation x1, 61% in variation x2, and 67% in conditions of variation x2. Therefore the installation of bilge keel has a significant effect on the rolling of ferry Ro-Ro.

Arranging childcare in two Nordic countries: A comparison of ECEC start in Iceland and Sweden
Authors: Arnalds Ásdís , Duvander Ann-Zofie
Published: August 2023

Objective: The study examines the age children in Iceland and Sweden start Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) and how children’s starting age is associated with parents’ use of paid parental leave and their characteristics.
Background: While children in Iceland have no legal rights to ECEC following the end of paid parental leave, in Sweden there is a continuum between paid parental leave and publicly subsidised ECEC. The leave period is also shorter in Iceland than in Sweden. The article addresses how these policy differences reflect the transition from paid parental leave to ECEC-start in the two countries.
Method: The study uses survey data, collected among parents in Iceland and Sweden.
Results: Children in Iceland have an earlier ECEC start than children in Sweden. This earlier start, however, has to do with the number of children being placed in family day care while waiting for a place in the public run preschools. Mothers in Iceland stretch the parental leave for a longer period than mothers in Sweden do, and in Iceland, there were variations in ECEC start depending on mothers’ labour force participation before childbirth and marital status, but not in Sweden.
Conclusion: The lack of preschool at the end of paid parental leave creates challenges for a certain group of parents in Iceland, a situation parents in Sweden do not have to face.

Published: August 2023

This article aims to re-investigate the Jihad movement of ex-terrorist convicts among the caregivers and teachers of the as-Salam Tahfidzul Quran Islamic boarding school in the Red Zone area of Bima-Dompu, Eastern Indonesia. This article focuses on two things by using a phenomenological qualitative approach, namely: (1) investigating the Jihad movement transformation of the ex-terrorist convicts among as-Salam Tahfidz Quran Islamic boarding school caretakers/teachers, (2) examining negative prejudice against as-Salam Tahfidzul Quran Islamic boarding school as "Terrorist School". The data in this article were collected using observation, participation, interview and documentation techniques which are analyzed inductively. The fieldwork on the study of religious movements in this article shows two significant results. First, the understanding and movement of Jihad for the ex-terrorist convicts among the caretakers/teachers of as-Salam Tahfidzul Quran Bima-Dompu Islamic Boarding School has changed and transformed Jihad from "taking up arms" to "Amar Makruf Nahi Mungkar" which pursued through education. Second, the increment of highly negative prejudice towards  As-Salam Tahfidzul Quran Bima-Dompu Islamic Boarding School as a "Terrorist School" among the large community due to the lack of communication from the government to the community regarding the developments of the ex-convicts and the safety assurance of them being in the community after they have served their prison term. Through a significant academic analysis, this article draws a temporary conclusion that Bima-Dompu NTB is no longer a terrorist Red Zone area.

This research study is about the educational model developed related to prevention strategies of extremist children to prevent them from following the steps or experiences of their parents as perpetrators of terrorist acts. One of the places of analysis in this study is the al hidayah Islamic boarding school. This research was conducted with one approach, namely a qualitative approach, with this approach obtained sources of information through observation, interviews and documentation needed for this research by the management of the school. Then, the study used phenomenological methods. The method is able to describe how an individual feels the experience and provide a picture of the phenomenon. It is therefore interesting to conduct research on how terrorist prevention and countermeasures education models developed and designed by ex-terrorist convicts against children of ex-terrorists or non-terrorists. Study findings show that the establishment of Islamic boarding schools is motivated by self-awareness that utilizing oneself for others by promoting Islamic values that are peaceful and non-violent, these values are the basis for developing an educational model in al hidayah Islamic boarding schools

Highlight Research

This is the first study of microplastics in four beach sediments in the east part of Java Island.
Bahak and Pesona Beach are connected to Java Sea (north part), while Tambak Rejo and Balekambang Beach are connected to Indian Ocean (south part).
A higher microplastics were observed on the beaches of the north part compared to the south part.
Local sources and oceanographic parameters of the beaches influence the presence of microplastics in the study areas.

Abstract
Microplastic pollution in beach sediments has been studied intensively worldwide, but there are limited studies in the beach areas of the eastern Java Island, Indonesia. This study aimed to identify the distribution of microplastic in four beaches in Indonesia: Bahak, Pesona, Tambakrejo, and Balekambang. The first two beaches are located in the north of Java Island and influenced by the east Java Sea, while the last two are located in the south and influenced by the Indian Ocean. Sediment samples were collected along the strandline inside the 1 × 1 m transect quadrate in the top 5 cm using a stainless-steel shovel. Microplastic and granulometry analyses were conducted to obtain microplastic and sediment grain size data, respectively. Physical parameters of the beaches, such as wind, wave, and ocean current, were calculated using Copernicus and NASA (PODAAC), respectively. The total abundance of microplastic ranged from 54.7 ± 48.6 to 103.3 ± 4.7 particles kg-1 with the following descending order: Bahak > Pesona > Tambakrejo > Balekambang. Although there was no statistically significant difference in microplastic concentrations among the beaches, the beaches connected to the Java Sea accumulated more microplastics than the ones connected to the Indian Ocean. Fiber and blue were the dominating type and colors of microplastic. The results confirm that the distribution of microplastic is associated with the morphology of the beaches and the local source.

The 17β-estradiol hormone induction reduces the percentage of R values in skin and fin color by as much as 50-60%.
The 17β-estradiol hormone induction increases total length and body weight, estradiol content, GIS and HIS, and also glucose content.
The 17β-estradiol hormone induction shows mature development of the gonadal profile from functional male to functional female.

Abstract
 
As maroon clownfish (Amphiprion biaculeatus) is a protandrous hermaphroditic fish, feminization process with 17β-estradiol hormone can be applied to accelerate the female broodstock candidate supply for further spawning effort. This study aimed to evaluate the feminization of A. biaculeatus with 17β-estradiol hormonal induction. This study used a completely randomized design with several hormone dosage, namely P0 (without 17β-estradiol hormone induction), P1 (0.5 μg 17β-estradiol/g body), P2 (1.0 μg 17β-estradiol/g body), and P3 (1.5 μg 17β-estradiol/g body). These treatments were applied with three replications. Five fish composed of α-fish, β-fish, and three γ-fish were reared in each aquarium for 90 days with a flowing water system. The α- and β-fish were then removed, while the γ-fish was injected with hormone. Otohime pellet feed was fed three times a day until apparent satiation. The results showed that the 17β-estradiol hormone could induce 100% of the feminization process of male A. biaculeatus. The dosage of P3 obtained the lowest value percentage of red, green, blue (RGB), but showing the highest total of length and body weight (6.67±0.42 cm and 6.40±0.78 g, respectively), estradiol content (149.73±4.24 ρg/mL), GSI and HSI (0.38±0.07% and 3.59±0.49%), and glucose content (4.67±0.64 mg/dL), followed by more mature gonad profile than other treatments. This condition indicates that fish in P3 treatment has been reversed as functional female. The average survival rate for the treatment was as high as 60%. Therefore, the application of 17β-estradiol hormonal induction is effective for the feminization process in A. biaculeatus as a protandrous hermaphroditic fish.

Eight species of cardinalfish in Gilimanuk Bay were delineated using the barcoding method.
This study provides the first nucleotide sequence for Ostorhinchus hartzfeldii in GenBank online database.
The phylogenetic tree showed that each sample resided in a distinct cluster, indicating that the barcoding method efficiently differentiated at the species level.
The mean genetic distance between genera within the family was 31.8-fold higher than the mean genetic distance within species.

Abstract
The Apogonidae is estimated to consist of nearly 300 fish species, most of which inhabit coral reef areas. The lack of distinctive body markings and overlapping species distribution makes species assignment challenging. Therefore, this study aimed to delineate species and establish barcoding reference databases of Apogonidae in Gilimanuk Bay (Bali, Indonesia) using the Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) gene of the mitochondrial DNA. A total of 22 fish tissue samples were extracted with 10% Chelex solution. BLAST analysis was performed and genetic differentiation between species was calculated. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using the Maximum Likelihood method and tree visualization was generated using iTOL V5. The morphology and genetic identification results based on the mitochondrial COI gene revealed eight species of seven genera, and one species was new to GenBank online database. This study was the first-ever addition of COI sequence for Ostorhinchus hartzfeldii into the GenBank database. The average K2P genetic distance within species and K2P distance between genera within the family were 0.60% and 19.10%, respectively. The mean genetic distance between genera within the family was 31.8-fold higher than the mean genetic distance within species. The phylogenetic tree showed that each sample resided in a distinct cluster, which indicates that DNA barcoding is a reliable and effective approach for species delimitation in Apogonidae fishes.

The people of Bolo Village, Ujung Pangkah District, Gresik Regency, choose to farm as a livelihood, both as farmers on their own land and on other people's land. Lime is a type of plant that is widely grown in the area. With a lime garden area of 450 hectares, lime farmers in this area can produce an average of 2-3 tons of lime per month per hectare. Lime from this sub-district has also reached local and international markets, such as Malaysia and Singapore. The community also develops or processes lime into processed products that have higher economic value, for example processed into processed beverage products in the form of liquids, extracts, instant powders, or processed into belt products, cosmetics and so on. On the other hand, technological developments that are rapidly developing can basically be used to increase the marketability of limes, such as processing lime peels into more useful products, not just lime contents. Nanotechnology can be used to produce lime peel powder with a nanometer size using a tool called a ball mill and grinder. The process of making lime peel nanopowder using a ball mill is very simple. This tool has also been developed a lot so the price is also cheap. For this reason, the community service activities is carried out to provide education to lime farmers in the Ujung Pangkah sub-district, Gresik to process lime peels into powder and make it possible to obtain nanopowder which has high selling value and or produces processed lime into other products. The expected output is lime peel processed products into powders of various sizes, one of which is nanometer with a lime peel powder maker, in this case a ball mill and grinder with simple operations and low prices. In simple terms, especially large powders can be used as additional ingredients for spices, even tea mixtures. This community service activity can support the 12th point of the Sustainable Development Goals in promoting zero waste, namely responsible consumption and production; as well as on point 8, namely decent work and economic growth in encouraging the formation of MSMEs to utilize processed orange peels to increase their economic value. Thus, we also believe that the community service would not only increase the lime home industry in Bolo village significantly, but also increase awareness of the community about the environmental sustainability.

To date, the problem of preserving symptoms after recovery from a new coronavirus infection is urgent in the world. This condition is called postcovid syndrome. The clinical picture of postcovid syndrome has multiple manifestations: general, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, skin and other symptoms. At the moment, there are no laboratory criteria for the diagnosis of this condition, but the great role of neutrophils in the development of both acute disease and postcovid syndrome has been proven. The formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (not toz) is one of the pathophysiological mechanisms of the course of a new coronavirus infection. In addition, the effect of the ketosis process on the development of complications in the postcovid period has been proven. The article discusses the history of the term, various clinical manifestations of the postcovid period, as well as the role of innate immunity mechanisms at all stages of the course of a new coronavirus infection.

One of the causes of transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke are mass formations in the left heart. One of the predisposing factors for thrombosis is the presence of the Leiden mutation, as the most common form of hereditary thrombophilia in the European population. At the same time, spontaneous dissection of the coronary arteries (SCA) can be one of the reasons of an acute vascular accident. Of particular difficulty is differential diagnosis, which requires additional examination methods (intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography) in addition to coronary angiography. The presented clinical case describes the diagnosis and successful treatment of spontaneous anterior interventricular artery dissection, left ventricular thrombosis, detection of factor V Leiden gene mutation in a young man with a history of transient ischemic attack

The ability of the autonomous robot to perceive and understand its working environment is the basis for solving more complicated issues. In recent years, an increasing number of artificial intelligence-based methods have been proposed in the field of scene understanding for autonomous robots, and deep learning is one of the current key areas in this field. Outstanding gains have been attained in the field of scene understanding for autonomous robots based on deep learning. Thus, this paper presents a review of recent research on the deep learning-based scene understanding for autonomous robots. This survey provides a detailed overview of the evolution of robotic scene understanding and summarizes the applications of deep learning methods in scene understanding for autonomous robots. In addition, the key issues in autonomous robot scene understanding are analyzed, such as pose estimation, saliency prediction, semantic segmentation, and object detection. Then, some representative deep learning-based solutions for these issues are summarized. Finally, future challenges in the field of the scene understanding for autonomous robots are discussed.
The Political Process in Modern France: Society and Power
Authors: Lapina N.
Published: August 2023

In modern France, power and society are developing in different directions. President E. Macron has built a rigid “vertical of power”, which was further strengthened under the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Power in France has exceptional autonomy and an ability to make and implement decisions that do not have public support. The president can implement reforms by decree, and the prime minister – relying on the Article 49.3 of the Constitution, which allows laws to be passed without a vote in parliament. Society, in turn, has become more demanding in the field of obtaining individual rights and expanding political rights. While power was growing more and more “vertical”, society developed in the opposite direction. The individual rights of citizens have expanded (legalization of same-sex unions and sex change); French citizens have become more demanding of representative institutions and politicians. It is customary to consider French society depoliticized. In reality, modern French people, even if they don’t go to the polls and don’t trust political parties, are interested in politics. The mood of “critical citizenship” has become widespread in society, an increasing number of citizens would like to participate in political decision-making, and the ideas of direct democracy are very popular. The multidirectional development of society and power inevitably gives rise to a systemic socio-political conflict. The protests against raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 that unfolded in France in 2023 were a continuation of the protest movements of past years. Three scenarios for the development of the political situation in France are formulated: normalization; political crisis and way out of it; renewal of the political regime.
National Interests of China: Connotations, Hierarchy, Balancing

The connotations of the interests of the PRC in the official scientific and political discourse during the period of the existence of the new Chinese state first transformed from class (jieji liyi, 1949–1978) to actually national (national-state – guojia liyi, 1979–2008), and then transition to “indigenous (core) national” (hexin guojia liyi, or simply “indigenous” – hexin liyi), and this emphasis became dominant after 2012. This process reflects substantive changes in the state’s strategy. At the same time, the spatial and geographical range of his interests was expanding – from a predominant focus on domestic needs to regional and global ones. Since the 12th Chinese Communist Party Congress of 1982 declared that China would adopt foreign policy according to its national interests, the term “national interests” has been frequently used in Chinese official documents. The problems of national interests in the Chinese academic community were first raised in 1987 at the Shanghai Scientific Conference on the Theory of International Relations. In 1995, Yan Xuetong published China’s first monograph on this subject, “Analysis of China’s National Interests”, on which he worked for two years (grant from the Chinese Academy of Contemporary International Relations) after returning from the United States, where he defended his doctoral dissertation. The publication of this book even sparked a “great debate” between young scholars and traditionalists about the normative requirements for writing papers. The article shows the dynamics of changes in the national interests of the PRC, their connotations and hierarchy both in academic discourse and in the practice of Chinese diplomacy (case of Russia and Ukraine).
“Mass Incidents”: Chinese Discourse on the Problem of Protest Activities and Ways of Its Solution

Various examples of the social science research show that, historically, any nation going through some drastic changes in its political and economic system is vulnerable to tendencies of social unrest and political instability. The processes of political modernization after establishment of the PRC and “reforms and openness” going since 1978 up to this day had made the Chinese people experience tremendous and sometimes painful changes in their everyday life. Protest activities and the reaction of Chinese government to them constitute a special interest among scholars. Protests are called “mass incidents” in the PRC, the information about which is secured from leaking out from the local level. This fact creates serious challenge for finding the material, in addition to mostly biased character of publications by Western media. The authors attempted to elaborate an equal collection of Chinese and Western materials (focusing on the Chinese academic discourse), news articles and social web messages to complete case-studies of protest activities in China, its typology, background, reasons, probable ways of its solution according to Chinese scholars, as well as how and on what legal basis the authorities are dealing with demonstrations. The Chinese authorities are inclined to see social and economic protests not as a threat to the existing system, but as signals of problem areas that need to be addressed.

To evaluate the habitat loss due to climatic changes and their effect on Callithrix diversity in the next few decades, the present study reported the resilience of the Atlantic Rainforest primate genus Callithrix under the perspective of the forecasted climatic changes in South America and the quick-pace of the changing environmental policies in Brazil. The study used the present-day distribution of the Atlantic Rainforest marmosets of the genus Callithrix and several bioclimatic layers to model and project the habitat suitability for all Callithrix species for recent and for the next few decades. The presented results are far from being optimistic. Almost all Callithrix species except for C. jacchus will experience about 30% to 70% reduction of potential habitats between 2040 and 2060. The observed climatic perspective, together with all related anthropogenic threats, and the new conservation policies in Brazil should pose a severe risk of extinction not only for the Atlantic Rainforest marmosets but also for several primate species under similar conditions.

Analytics have become increasingly popular among sports in recent years, providing valuable information regarding physical and mental health. Many athletes have found that analytics during training can help to improve their performance, reduce the risk of injury, and enhance their overall well-being. This paper aims to improve the results of handball players by applying a method for measuring the influence of different trials on aggregate performance calculated per each athlete in order to qualify for the Olympic Games. By separating the isolated action of each trial, the result is an additional influence caused by the interaction of factors or the simultaneous action. That might explain why the neuromuscular feedback loop is utterly necessary to perform handball motor actions. Further on, the ML analysis can help identify areas for improvement, optimize training programs, and enhance overall team performance.

Although the vegetation of the Cerrado biome is prone to fire, plant species composition can be altered according to its severity and frequency. Furthermore, many Cerrado plant species are resistant and can adapt to frequent fires. Little is known about how plant species of Cerrado environments respond to fire and the extent to which fire is beneficial for their conservation. The present study analyzed the responses of plant species of areas of campo sujo to fire and changes in floristics and vegetation structure at different post-fire intervals. Areas with frequent fires had a greater diversity of species, while the area with 10 years without burning had lower diversity and greater DBH. The distribution of species differed among the four the studied areas. We conclude that fire was beneficial for species diversity in the studied areas of Cerrado since it was able to promote the insertion and removal of species during intervals between fires.
