The study was conducted to evaluate the growth performance, carcass yield, and meat retail cut properties of stressed broiler chickens supplemented with different levels of rice-washed probiotics. Two hundred-day-old broiler chicks were randomly distributed into four (4) treatments following the Complete Randomized Design. Treatments were: T1- Control (w/o probiotics); T2- 15 ml/lit probiotics: T3 – 20 ml/lit probiotics: T4 – 25 ml/lit probiotics. Chicken exposure to light was limited to only 16 hours per day to facilitate stress, which is turned off every 4:00 pm up to 12 midnight throughout the experimental period of 42 days. Based on Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) results revealed that growth parameters including slaughter weight, carcass weight, and thigh weight were significantly (p≤0.05) affected by the supplementation of rice-washed probiotics. Thus, the study concluded that rice-washed probiotic supplementation at a level of 20 ml/lit and 25 ml/lit can be effectively utilized in enhancing the performance and carcass yield of broiler chickens under light stressed conditions.

Dağ bisikleti, popüler bir rekreasyon ve turizm aktivitesidir. Rekreasyonel ve korunan alanların sürdürülebilir yönetiminde dağ bisikleti kullanımının zamansal ve mekânsal verilerine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Geleneksel veri toplama yöntemleri pahalı, zaman alıcı ve zamansal-mekânsal ayrıntılardan yoksundur. Günümüzde GNSS tabanlı mobil uygulamalardan elde edilen gönüllü coğrafi veriler, dağ bisikleti kullanımının zamansal ve mekânsal analizi için önemli bir veri kaynağı haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada gönüllü coğrafi veri perspektifine dayalı olarak, GNSS verileri aracılığıyla Datça Yarımadası’nda dağ bisikleti kullanımının zamansal ve mekânsal değişimlerinin modellenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Wikiloc platformunda paylaşılan 203 adet seyahat rotasının GNSS izleri kullanılarak oluşturulan grafikler ve yoğunluk haritaları ile dağ bisikleti kullanımı analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları, kitle kaynaklı Wikiloc verilerinin, dağ bisikleti kullanımının zamansal ve mekânsal özelliklerini analiz etmek için veri kaynağı olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermiştir. Çalışma, gönüllü coğrafi verilerin avantajlarından yararlanarak rekreasyonel ve korunan alanların sürdürülebilir yönetimi için gelecekteki araştırmaların önünü açmaktadır.
Despliegue de curvas algebraicas en coordenadas baricéntricas
Authors: Tovar Francisco , Daza Julio , Rivas Luis
Published: November 2022

Basados en el trabajo realizado por K. C. Hui y Z. H. Jiang (Hui y col., 1999) sobre el despliegue de superficies en coordenadas tetraédricas, se aplicaron las ideas básicas de ese artículo para desarrollar un algoritmo que permite el despliegue de curvas algebraicas en coordenadas baricéntricas. Con el algoritmo desarrollado se visualiza el segmento de curva contenida en el interior de un triángulo, cuyos vértices definen unas coordenadas baricéntricas del plano, desechando el resto del gráfico de la curva. Los sistemas de graficación estándar que tienen programas como Maple, MatLab, Mathematica, etc., grafican curvas implícitas en sistemas de coordenadas Cartesianas, incluso en coordenadas polares. Sin embargo, para el diseño de splines y otras curvas de CAGD (Computer Aided Geometric Design) es conveniente el despliegue de segmentos de curvas implícitas en coordenadas baricéntricas. El algoritmo desarrollado se resume de la siguiente forma: Dado un triángulo en el plano, se definen las coordenadas baricéntricas del mismo y se procede a refinar el triángulo en cientos de subtriángulos más pequeños. Este primer refinamiento sirve para evaluar la curva en los vértices de los subtriángulos y de acuerdo a ciertos criterios cada subtriángulo es clasificado. La clasificación inicial está definida en tres grupos: Triángulos-Semillas, Triángulos-Frutas y Triángulos-Nulos, estos últimos son la mayoría y se descartan porque no contienen partes de la curva. Los Triángulos-Semillas se utilizan para graficar la curva y los Triángulos-Frutas pasan a un proceso adicional de refinamiento y regresan a la rutina inicial de clasificación. Finalmente, con los subtriángulos clasificados como Triángulos-Semillas, se construye un segmento de recta en el interior del subtriángulo, con los puntos de corte de los lados del subtriángulo y la curva. Los puntos de corte se aproximan mediante un proceso simple de bisección. La unión de los segmentos de recta sirven para construir una aproximación del trazo de la curva

Published: November 2022

Objective: The study aims to produce alkaline protease and chitinase in the same fermentation process in the most economical way possible so as to reduce production costs and to investigate the application of alkaline protease in detergents compatibility. Methods: Inoculums were prepared in nutrient yeast-extract standard medium, grown, and extracted from the solid medium, while the enzyme activities were measured using Lowry protein assay and high-performance liquid chromatography. Results: The culture of Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies dendrolimus IP 4A/4B was performed under solid-state fermentation conditions. The efficiency and performance of extraction using tap water outperformed other solutions. The crude protease enzyme was compatible with some detergents available in the local market, such as Persil, Tide, and Ariel, where the crude enzyme retained its activity at rates that varied between 113%, 110% and 83%. No microbial growth and therefore no chitinase enzymatic activity was observed on the first and second days, while microbial growth and chitinase activity commenced on the third day and reached the peak of the curve on the fourth day and stabilized on the sixth day. The productivity of chitinase in solid-state was superior to submerged fermentation conditions, which were 2.050 and 0.693U (μmole/mL/min). Conclusion: Production of alkaline protease by Bacillus thuringiensis dendrolimus IP/4B is efficient using tap water for extraction. The alkaline protease is compatible with (Arial, Tide and Persil) detergents, and the same bacterial strain also produced chitinase.

O objetivo da pesquisa foi identificar a relação pessoal de estudantes de um curso de Tecnologia em Gestão Comercial com o domínio da Matemática Financeira, observando ainda as práticas pedagógicas a que foram submetidos em sua vida escolar. Fundamentamos o trabalho na Teoria Antropológica do Didático (TAD), privilegiando as noções de relação pessoal, praxeologia, monumentalização dos saberes, razão de ser e as organizações didáticas Atividade de Estudo e Pesquisa (AEP) e Percurso de Estudo e Pesquisa (PEP). A natureza da pesquisa é qualitativa, e esse extrato baseia-se em dados coletados por meio de um questionário, cuja finalidade foi verificar se a Matemática Financeira desenvolvida na Educação Básica permite que estudantes de um curso de Gestão Comercial estejam preparados para compreender os novos conhecimentos necessários para que possam fazer escolhas adequadas à futura profissão. A análise mostrou que existem lacunas na formação do estudante, em relação ao domínio da Matemática Financeira, que dificultam o desenvolvimento profissional desses estudantes. As dificuldades decorrem, tanto da ausência de conhecimento sobre o domínio da Matemática Financeira, quanto da sua abordagem, quando se consideram situações reais do campo profissional, pois essas exigem a articulação de conhecimentos de Matemática Financeira com conhecimentos específicos, que são distantes das vivências do cotidiano.

Категория «открытость опыту» в психологическом консультировании и психодиагностике
Authors: Ясин Мирослав , Колпачников Вениамин
Published: November 2022

В статье произведен сравнительный анализ конструктов открытости опыту в академической и практической психологии. Целью работы является описание сходных черт и различий двух конструктов, описание областей их пересечения. В результате теоретического анализа установлено, что в практической консультативной психологии открытость опыту рассматривается как способность осознавать и признавать разнообразный, и даже противоречивый опыт, умение интегрировать представления в ситуациях противоречия и как основа здорового функционирования личности. В академической психологии, во многом опирающейся на тестовую психодиагностику, открытость опыту связывают со способностью выдерживать ситуацию неопределенности и/или двойственности, способностью интегрировать новые и противоречивые сведения, минимизацией предустановок и стереотипов, творческим процессом и когнитивной гибкостью. В работе показано сходство конструктов в академической и практической психологии, а в качестве отличий показаны разные способы получения знаний. Проведенное сопоставление понимания и исследований открытости опыту в практической психологии и психодиагностическом тестировании иллюстрирует возможность их продуктивного взаимодополнения и взаимодействия как для более полного исследования психологических феноменов, так и для повышения обоснованности и эффективности психологической практики.

Abstract—Discord is a popular real-time chat platform with comprehensive bot support. Bots are common on Discord and offer a variety of services such as moderating aid, games, music, internet searches, money processing, and more. We attempted to create a simple variation in the Discord community by deploying a bot in this study. The purpose of this study is to implement a safe bot in Discord that identifies chat emotions and automatically eliminates chats that are not acceptable for community platforms. Using Machine Learning and sentiment analysis the bot is able to classify the sentences and classify them into different categories of emotions and automatically eliminates the sentences which are categorized as unusual. This helps to make your chat safe and helpful for the community. In the first instance, sentiment analysis finds emotional tones in real-time behind your chat messages and deletes them automatically if any negative correlation is detected in them. Keywords— Raspberry pi, Discord bot, ML.

This article explores the interplay between the medical marketplace and print culture in the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Dutch Republic. The starting point and inspiration is Mary Fissell's analysis of the role of print in the English medical marketplace. In the early-modern Dutch Republic, as elsewhere in Europe, we observe a growing competition between all kinds of medical practitioners. These practitioners searched for effective forms of communication to disseminate and promote their competence, skills, remedies, treatments, and books. To achieve this, regular (physicians, surgeons, and apothecaries) and irregular (stonecutters, oculists, empirics, "quacks" etc.) practitioners used a range of printed media, varying from newspaper advertisements, leaflets, and bills to pamphlets and books. By studying these sources systematically, we gain a better insight into the dynamics of the medical world. In this article, I investigate to what extent newspaper advertisements, one of the pivotal and widespread forms of communication, reflected the degree of regulation of the medical marketplace in Amsterdam and to what extent this situation differed from England.
A Naturalist between Two Worlds
Authors: Daniela Serra
Published: November 2022

In the 1830s, European naturalists traveled to South America to gain experience as field collectors, a practice increasingly important to natural history and the production of scientific knowledge as the nineteenth century progressed. This article explores the strategies followed by the French naturalist Claude Gay (1800-1873) in his attempt to make a name for himself in the eyes of both the Chilean and French scientific communities and governments, as he established his career as a field collector. Gay had to forge credibility among local social circles and hierarchies to win the financial support of the Chilean government, while simultaneously pursuing a career and a reputation as a naturalist in France. This article analyzes Gay’s practices and strategies for each community and discusses the extent to which his field practices were influenced not only by the scientific knowledge, experience, and instruments used, but also by the social, political, and economic context in which he developed his scientific work.
Science Education and Bureaucratization of Fieldwork
Authors: Lukic Dejan

The establishment of a network of collaborators in nineteenth-century Serbia, dedicated to scientific rock specimen collecting, required ongoing negotiation with the state administration over allocation of resources, including the mobilization of state clerks. In this period, Serbia’s state-building involved, among other things, considerable investments in science education and mining. By appealing to the state’s educational goals, Jovan Žujović managed to organize collecting through the network of schools, whose professors occasionally sent specimens to him. Various other state clerks, officers, and diplomats participated in this network as well, making field collecting practices situated by state administrative networks and contemporary nationalist ideologies. Through the collaborative and competitive intellectual efforts of scientific and non-scientific actors, fieldwork was co-produced as a politically contested space through the interplay of scientific, administrative, political, educational, and diplomatic initiatives that competed and collaborated within state-building projects.
‘We the Tormentors’
Authors: Green Leore Joanne
Published: November 2022

This paper combines the history of scientific collecting with the history of emotion. It does so by using a unique combination of private and public sources – the diaries and articles of entomologist Margaret Elizabeth Fountaine (1862–1940). Fountaine practiced entomology at a time when there were few women in science, and in particular in entomology, requiring each woman to make her own way and devise her own strategies and scientific persona. Fountaine’s emotions towards collecting insects were ambivalent, and while collecting was a source of great pleasure to her, it was also at times a source of guilt and pain. Indeed, in her diaries she exhibited a range of emotions, including pity for the insects. However, in her articles she exhibited a more limited emotional palette, as the scientific persona she chose to construct was built from two narratives – the objective researcher and the white imperial huntress – and these, while bestowing authority upon her, only allowed for the expression of certain emotions. In addition to showing how Fountaine had to tailor the emotions she exhibited, this paper also suggests that objectivity in collecting was another kind of emotion. It was an attempt to distance the collector from the subjects of collection by using instruments and interacting with them in a supposedly emotionless way. This paper argues that when examining the making of scientific knowledge we should look at both its cerebral aspects and its emotional aspects, as the latter also played an important role.
Dining on Geologic Fish
Authors: Finney Vanessa
Published: November 2022

The Australian lungfish was discovered for science by Australian Museum curator Gerard Krefft in 1870. He immediately recognized that it was a “living fossil” linking fish and amphibians. He quickly named the fish and sent specimens around the world. The bodies of the transformed, travelling fish became a personal and material connector as they entered the unstable, relational exchange economies and value scales of international science. Still, there were gaps in relations and processes: in incomplete specimens, in long supply chains and delayed communications, in translating and translocating field knowledge of the living fish, and in the credibility and authority of the colonial scientists who were vying for imperial attention. In these gaps we can see the local practice of settler scientists, colonists and the local Gubbi Gubbi people, along with other possible ontologies of nature and culture. From that gap, and the acute anxiety of description and classification on the colonial edge, we can also see the creation of the very odd fantasy-fish, the Ompax.
The scientific history of the Australian lungfish, Ceratodus forsteri, and its strange cousin the Ompax, demonstrate what happened when affect, ambition and stubbornness, local materiality, story, and practice met the geographical and material constraints and odd, instrumental logic of imperial natural history. It is an object lesson in the crucial importance and the limits of go-betweens in field knowledgemaking and the persistence of other lineages and ways of knowing within museum specimen collections and the archives of colonial science.
The Determinants of National Savings in West African Countries: A Time Series and Dynamic Panel Data Analysis
Authors: Tchetche N'guessan , Pallaye Beunon
Published: November 2022

The objective of this paper is to analyze the determinants of national savings in West African countries, using both time series analysis and panel data over the period 1980–2020. To do so, we used the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model through the cointegration approach of boundary tests to check the robustness of the long-run relationship and the error correction mechanism (ECM) to capture the short-run dynamics between savings and its determinants. The results revealed that domestic income was a statistically significant determinant of national savings in the short and long run in West Africa. Based on the empirical results of the panel data, the results reveal that the current account positively influences savings in English countries in both the short and long run. On the other hand, domestic income and value added in agriculture were found to be determinants of savings in Francophone countries. It is recommended that, in order to promote savings, growth and economic development, policies aimed at improving labor productivity and the balance of trade are essential to increase savings rates in West Africa.
Financial Inclusion of Rural and Urban Households and the Dodd-Frank Act

This paper examines the consequences of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 on financial inclusion in rural areas. The Act imposed changes in the U.S. banking industry that contributed to closures or consolidation of smaller community banks, mostly in the rural areas, that could not sustain the higher regulatory burden. We evaluate whether the Act had differential impacts on the financial inclusion of rural and urban unbanked households. Financial inclusion is measured by the utilization of banking services such as checking or savings account and by relying less on Alternative Financial Services (AFS). We employ the Changes-in-Changes quantile model to establish if rural unbanked households were more affected relative to their urban counterparts and provide robustness checks through ordered and binomial logistic regressions. We analyze both the short- and the long-term impacts of the Act using household-level data from the FDIC National Surveys of Unbanked and Underbanked Households. Results indicate that rural unbanked households on average were more likely to plan to open a bank account shortly after 2010 but the magnitude of the effect decreased in long-term. The rural unbanked households did not use more AFS services for credit and transaction purposes than urban households in the short term. However, in the long term, they increased their use of AFS for credit relative to their urban counterparts, likely because they were less able to obtain credit from banks. The policy implications point at the need to promote technologies that may help close the rural-urban financial inclusion gap and indentify a potential for combination of Fintech and banking services provision.

Methods and Algorithms for Simulation Modelling of Fractal Processes
Authors: Gospodinova Evgeniya
Published: November 2022

The report presents methods and algorithms for simulation modelling of fractal processes. Fractal processes based on fractal Brownian motion, fractal Gaussian noise and, fractal Gaussian noise-wavelet transformation are simulated. Based on the performed comparative analysis of the algorithms for simulation modelling of fractal processes with respect to the accuracy parameter, it follows that the algorithms based on the models of fractal Gaussian noise and fractal Gaussian noise-wavelet transformation have the smallest relative error with respect to the Hurst parameter. The value of the Hurst parameter is one of the most important characteristics determining the degree of self-similarity of fractal processes. The considered algorithms based on these two models can be applied for modelling of physiological data, including cardiological data, because they have fractal properties.
Application of Methods from Nonlinear Dynamics for Heart Rate Variability Analysis
Authors: Gospodinova Evgeniya
Published: November 2022

The article presents the results of the study of the nonlinear properties of the dynamics of the intervals between heartbeats obtained from digital ECG signals of healthy subjects, patients with arrhythmia and patients with heart failure. Data analysis was performed by applying the following two methods of nonlinear dynamics: Recurrence plot and Poincaré plot, comparing with the linear histogram method. The visual evaluation of the repeating diagrams constructed by the Recurrence plot allows obtaining quick information about the behaviour of the studied process. The reduction of the complexity of the process (heart rhythm) and the transition to periodicity is indicative of a pathological change in the regulation of heart rhythm. Poincaré plot is a useful tool when rare and sudden disorders occur against the background of a monotonous heart rate. Cardiovascular diseases significantly affect the dynamics of heart rate, reducing variability.

Motivating students to study nowadays became harder, but an important task for the teacher. The most soughtafter way to show motivation is the direct practical use of knowledge most often in school. This can be achieved by carefully selecting examples and learning tasks. Proven motivating impact there is a possibility for training based on the management of physical systems. This paper presents a system of tasks with LEGO robot control, part of the new approach developed by the authors for training in informatics and IT, relying on strong motivation through the development of applications with modern interface in modern environment, solving everyday problems, demonstrations with robot and visualizations of algorithms. The proposed examples and tasks can serve to enrich the pedagogical practice of secondary school teachers.
