Worldwide, wetlands cover about 9% of the land surface and are recognized as bio-networks that offer living prospects when managed properly. Despite the present resource management regime, many wetlands in Uganda are being degraded due to mining, construction, agricultural and industrial activity, and little attention has been paid to the effectiveness of wetland conservation. The goal of this research was to evaluate Nyamuriro wetland conservation and management practices in Muko Sub-County, Rubanda District, in south-western Uganda. The study was guided by specific objectives, which included investigating the management approaches used in Nyamuriro wetland conservation, identifying the management challenges preventing Nyamuriro wetland conservation, and evaluating sustainable solutions to the challenges preventing Nyamuriro wetland conservation. The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional research design that included qualitative and quantitative data gathering and analysis techniques. A total of 109 people participated in the study using simple random and purposive sampling approaches. In this study, data was collected using questionnaires, key informant interviews, and observational approaches. Most respondents strongly agree that wetland restoration is the best management approach for Nyamuriro wetland conservation (Mean = 4.87, SD = 0.547). Corruption was the most significant hindrance to the conservation of Nyamuriro wetland among the management problems (Mean = 3.41, SD = 0.467). Overall, the data showed that there was a significant positive association between conservation management techniques but not between viable Nyamuriro wetland conservation measures. The study recommended that strict laws and procedures should be put in place to ease restrictions on wetland conservation.

Published: September 2022

The increasing need for the examination of evidence from mobile and portable gadgets increases the essential need to establish dependable measures for the investigation of these gadgets. Many differences exist while detailing the requirement for the examination of each gadget to help detectives and examiners in guaranteeing that any kind of evidence extracted/ collected from any mobile device is well documented and the outcomes can be repeatable, a reliable and well-documented investigation process must be implemented if the results of the examination are to be repeatable and defensible in courts of law. In this paper, we developed a generic process flow model for the extraction of digital evidence in mobile devices running on Android, Windows, iOS, and Blackberry operating systems. The research adopted a survey approach and extensive literature review as a means to collect data. The models developed were validated through expert opinion. Results of this work can guide solution developers in ensuring the standardization of evidence extraction tools for mobile devices.

The mathematical model for the calculation of component elements with non-linear-flexible shear connections by deformations is presented. The algorithm is based on the theory of calculation of component rods by A. R. Rzhanitsyn, however, the rigidity of the shear connections is refined at each step for each connection, depending on shear force. It has been established that neglecting the actual nature of the connections deformation introduces a significant error in the assessment of the deformability of component beams with mechanical connections.

Displacement differential equations of equilibrium in three-dimensional geometrically and physically nonlinear theory of elasticity for discontinuous closing equations in the cartesian coordinate system
Authors:   Penza State University of Architecture and Constructionn, Bakushev S.V.
Published: September 2022

We consider the construction of coefficients of equilibrium differential equations in displacements for a three-dimensional physically and geometrically nonlinear theory of elasticity. Differential equations of equilibrium are done in a rectangular Cartesian coordinate system. Closing equations are variable modules of volumetric and shear deformation; physical relations are approximated by bilinear functions. Physical dependencies are recorded for four possible rules of continuum deformation in accordance with bilinear graphs of volume and shear deformation. The rules of deformation on each linear section of bilinear diagrams of volumetric and shear deformation are determined by the secant modules of bilinear graphs of volumetric and shear deformation diagrams. The analysis shows that the coefficients of differential equations of equilibrium in displacements, which are second-order partial differential equations of displacements along spatial coordinates, are quadratic functions of the first derivatives of displacements along spatial coordinates. The constructed three-dimensional differential equations of equilibrium in displacements can be applied in the calculation of structures using three-dimensional equilibrium equations of physically and geometrically nonlinear theory of elasticity in displacements, the closing equations of physical relations for which are approximated by bilinear functions.

Published: September 2022

Electron on-chip cooling from the base temperature of 300 mK is very important for highly sensitive detectors operating in space due to problems of dilution fridges at low gravity. Electron cooling is also important for ground-based telescopes equipped with 3He cryostats being able to function at any operating angle. This work is aimed at the investigation of electron cooling in the low-temperature range. New samples of cold-electron bolometers with traps and hybrid superconducting/ferromagnetic absorbers have shown a temperature reduction of the electrons in the refrigerator junctions from 300 to 82 mK, from 200 to 33 mK, and from 100 to 25 mK in the idle regime without optical power load. The electron temperature was determined by solving heat balance equations with account of the leakage current, sixth power of temperature in the whole temperature range, and the Andreev current using numerical methods and an automatic fit algorithm.

Nowadays the introduction of robotic systems is one of the most common forms of the technological operations automation in various spheres of human activity. Among the robotic systems a special place is occupied by sequential multi-link robotic manipulators (SRM). SRM have become widespread due to relatively small dimensions and high maneuverability, which makes their use indispensable to solve various tasks. In practice, the effectiveness of the functioning of the SRM can be influenced by various types of external environment fuzzy factors. Among the external factors there is a group affecting the ability to determine the exact target position. Such factors often affect technical vision systems. This problem is especially relevant for special purpose mobile robots operating in aggressive environmental conditions. A situation similar to the described one also occurs when a medical robot manipulator is used for minimally invasive surgery, when the role of the control and monitoring system is assumed by an operator. In this regard, the organization of effective control taking into account influence of the external fuzzy factors, that prevent the correct recognition of the target position of the SRM instrument, is an urgent problem. The authors consider the solution of the inverse kinematics problem for SRM based on the use of fuzzy numerical methods, taking into account the possible occurrence of singular configurations in the process of solving.

Published: September 2022

The article examines the dependence between the Russian ruble exchange rate and oil prices with the use of neural network modeling. The relevance of the study can be confirmed by the interest of the monetary authorities in modeling the dynamics of the exchange rate for developing monetary policy measures. The research objective of the article is the estimation of the relationship between the Russian ruble exchange rate and oil prices using multilayer perceptron and recurrent neural network models. Moreover, the influence of additional factors, including foreign exchange interventions and geopolitical risks, is estimated. The results show that neural networks provide sufficient accuracy in estimation of the target variable. Furthermore, during the periods with foreign exchange interventions and high geopolitical instability there was confirmed a decoupling of the examined variables. The modeled time series preserve non-linear nature of exchange rate data generating process, as well as the asymmetry in the reaction of the ruble exchange rate to oil price shocks. The hyperparameters selection, use of bootstrap and ensembles of neural networks provide more robust estimates and confidence intervals for the oil price elasticity of the ruble exchange rate. Therefore, the combination of the aforementioned methods makes it possible to draw meaningful economic conclusions based on the trained neural networks, avoiding the problem of neural network weights non-interpretability.

Published: September 2022

The possibilities of a multi-agent approach for managing urban parking space are considered, which allows you to adequately represent the parking space and effectively solve the following tasks: monitoring congestion, searching and booking available parking spaces; building routes and navigation to selected places; parking; payment for parking services; monitoring compliance with parking rules; control and access control in closed parking lots (equipped with entrance and exit terminals and barriers); forecasting the main parameters, such as workload, income, turnover; informing users. The necessity of intellectualization of urban parking space management processes based on the use of methods and technologies of multi- agent systems (MAS), the main objectives of which are to: reduce the search time for parking spaces; increase the speed of traffic in paid parking areas; increase the turnover of parking spaces; reduce traffic congestion, fuel costs; reduce the number of parking violations on the road network; reducing the flow of personal vehicles entering the toll zone and stimulating the use of urban public transport; reducing environmental pollution. The greatest difficulty is the tasks of organizing the interaction of agents of various typologies in the collective solution of tasks, since each agent solving a specific task has only a partial idea of the overall task and must constantly interact with other agents. The features of prototyping MAS with an emphasis on modeling the interaction of certain types of intelligent agents in the problem area under study are presented. The obtained simulation results are the basis for the continuation and further development of research and development to create the final prototype of a MAS for urban parking space management.

The research focuses on the development of applied software systems for automated environmental monitoring. The task of developing and integrating applied software, in particular calculation and analytical models based on machine learning (ML) methods, with an IoT platform of digital eco-monitoring for industrial enterprises is considered. Such a platform is used to create software and hardware systems of CEMS – Continuous Emissions Monitoring System class, designed for continuous monitoring of pollutant emissions into the atmospheric air at production facilities. Use of ML tools integrated with the platform allows to expand significantly the functionality of the existing CEMS, in particular to quickly build new SaaS services for forecasting the dynamics of pollution distribution. Given the high requirements for industrial systems, there is a need to create a specialized software product – an analytical server that implements the management of connected predictive analytical ML models with the required level of service quality, including automatic initialization of new analytical scripts as classes, isolation of individual components, automatic recovery after failures, data security and safety. The paper proposes a scheme of functional and algorithmic interaction between the IoT platform of digital eco- monitoring and the analytical server. The proposed implementation of the analytical server has a hierarchical structure, at the top of which is an application capable of accepting high-level REST requests to initialize calculations in real time. This approach minimizes the impact of one analytical script (class) on another, as well as extending the functionality of the platform in "hot" mode, that is, without stopping or reloading. Results demonstrating automatic initialization and connection of basic ML models for predicting pollutant concentrations are presented.

Published: September 2022

This paper analyzes the most challenging nuclear use scenario while leaving all possibilities open to using nuclear weapons and verifying North Korea’s possibility of using nuclear weapons. Until now, research on North Korea’s nuclear use scenario has been academically unsystematic, has lacked empirical examples, included cynical attitudes toward nuclear weapons, and has been based on analytical techniques containing limitations. Accordingly, this paper intends to suggest strategic implications for the existing North Korean nuclear threat by presenting the most challenging nuclear use scenario, which has not been covered in previous studies, using the “Nuclear War Potential Model” and “Impact-Uncertainty Grid.”

Kígyókultusz Cheju szigetén a ponp’uri-k tükrében
Authors: Vörös Erika
Published: September 2022

Korean religion and folklore are abundant in legends and beliefs about the serpent. Cheju island is a particularly precious source of information about snake-worship, not only because its relative isolation from the mainland enabled it to preserve certain beliefs longer than the peninsula, but also because its distinctive, indigenous culture gave rise to a peculiar belief-system by adopting elements from the outside world. We also have more information on the snake-lore in Cheju due to the accounts of Confucian officers delegated to the island and, more importantly, the body of specific shamanic narratives, the ponp’uris. Ponp’uris – origin stories of the worship of certain deities or shrines, recited during shamanic rites (kut) – are invaluable sources for research. Not only do they reflect historical and religious events, but also the endeavour of Cheju people to interpret and come to terms with these tendencies. Through ponp’uris and rituals associated with them people could respond to these situations, and even if only symbolically, restore order: they could release suppressed resentment and pain, and overcome Confucianist oppression by expressing their cultural identity, or adopt elements of other beliefs in order to survive.
PERCEPTION OF ESSENCE OF CONTROLLING AND ITS USE IN MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES IN TIME OF CRISIS: DOES CONTROLLING FULFILL ITS ESSENCE?
Authors: Potkány Marek , Hašková Simona , Lesníková Petra , Schmidtová Jarmila
Published: September 2022

The use of controlling in the business sphere is relatively broad and its essence can be perceived diversely by enterprises of different sectors and sizes. The aim of the research is to identify the current state of the use of controlling in Slovak manufacturing enterprises with an assessment of the perception of its essence in terms of capital structure and business performance measured by the Return on Sales (ROS). Total of 347 enterprises were asked by means of stratified sampling in 2020. Goodness-of-fit test was used when examining the representativeness of the research sample and for individual hypotheses the two-sample test of relative frequencies, relative frequency test, 95% interval estimates of relative frequencies, contingency and Pearson’s chi-square test were applied. Testing confirmed the existence of statistically significant correlation between the capital structure of manufacturing enterprises and the level of wider perception and practical use of the essence of controlling in relation to the performance measured by ROS. In conclusion is demonstrated that the potential of controlling in enterprises is not fully used, especially in the form of comprehensive secondary coordination of management and the possible directions of using it are outlined, with a positive impact on business performance.
Serum HIF-1α Levels, miR-210 Expressions, and Reactive Oxygen Species Levels in Early Abortion and Normal Pregnancy
Authors: Serudji Joserizal , Irawati Nuzulia , Mose Johanes Cornelius , Ali Hirowati , Yusrawati Yusrawati
Published: September 2022

Background: The blastocyst implants in a relatively hypoxic state. Hypoxic state triggers hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1ɑ) production, upregulates the transcription factor miR-210, and stimulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by trophoblast cells. HIF-1α also increases the expression of miR-210. High expression of micro-RNA 210 (miR-210) suppresses mitochondrial respiration, increasing ROS production. High level of ROS may result in DNA damage or cell disfunction, thereby impaired trophoblast invasion, leading to early abortion. This study aims to determine the differences of serum HIF-1ɑ levels, miR-210 expressions, and ROS levels between early abortion and normal pregnancy.
Method: This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang, Andalas University Hospital, and 5 Public Health Centers in Padang. Fifty-patients with gestational age less than 12 weeks (25 early abortions and 25 normal pregnancies) were included in this study. All samples were tested for HIF-1ɑ and ROS level using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method, and miR-210 expression using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Spearman correlation and  Mann Whitney test. was used in this study.
Results: Both study groups were equivalent in terms of age, gestational age, and gravidity (p = 0.51, 0.453 and 1.00). The median of HIF-1ɑ level, miR-210 expression, and ROS level were higher in early abortions than normal pregnancies i.e (3.73 vs 3.42) ng/mL (p = 0.016), (43.55 vs 17.85) copies/ng (p = 0.027), and (1.36 vs 1.20) ng/mL (p = 0.003). The coefficient correlations were 0.16 between HIF-1ɑ level and miR-210 expression (p=0.267), 0.46 between HIF-1ɑ level and ROS level (p=0.001), and 0.18 between miR-210 expression and ROS level (p=0.207).
Conclusion: HIF-1ɑ level, miR-210 expression, and ROS level were associated with early abortion. HIF-1ɑ level has a correlation with ROS level.
Robotic Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision Compared to Laparoscopic Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision: Oncologic Results of the Past 5 Years
Authors: Coco Danilo , Leanza Silvana
Published: September 2022

Colorectal cancer is one of the deadliest diseases on the planet. Rectal cancer (RC) is the 8
th
most common type of cancer disease worldwide, accounting for over 300,000 fatalities in 2018. Total mesorectal excision (TME) is considered as the gold standard approach for surgical RC management. To alleviate technical problems associated with dissection of distal rectal, transanal procedure to mesorectum was developed. The robotic operating platforms’ development has brought about the most significant change. The robotic method, which was described first in the year 2001, is gaining popularity in colorectal surgery. A stable camera platform with three-dimensional imaging and tremor filtering, motion scaling, instruments with numerous degrees of freedom, 3
rd
arm for fixed retraction, ambidextrous capability, superior ergonomics, and less fatigue, all these advantages have all influenced robotics implementation. However, there are certain disadvantages to robotic surgery, such as high expenses, lengthy time of operation, a bulky cart, and absence of haptic sense. Robotic transanal TME (R-TA TME) is unique method that integrates potential advantages of perineal dissection with precise control of distal margins, along with all robotic technology advantages with respect to dexterity and greater precision. This review goal is to evaluate the available literature critically regarding R-TA TME in comparison to laparoscopic TA TME (L-TA TME) using the most prevalent histopathological metrics, which are the circumferential resection margin, the distal rectal margin, recurrence rate, specimen quality, advantages, and disadvantages. Oncological results for the past 5 years were used. The resources were obtained from electronic sources such as Google Scholar and PubMed. The conclusion of this review revealed that R-TA TME is as safe as well as feasible as L-TA TME, is technically possible, and has comparable oncological results and short-term post-operative outcomes. However, further investigation is required to evaluate long-term oncological or functional results.

Biodiversity informatics workbenches and aggregators that make their data externally accessible via application programming interfaces (APIs) facilitate the development of customized applications that fit the needs of a diverse range of communities. In the past, the technical skills required to host web-facing applications placed constraints on many researchers: they either needed to find technical help, or expand their own skills. These limits are now significantly reduced when free or low-cost web-site hosting is combined with small, well-documented applications that require minimal configuration to setup. We illustrate two applications that take advantage of this approach: an interactive key engine (presently named "distinguish") and TaxonPages, a taxon page service application. Both applications make use of TaxonWorks' API. We discuss the limits, e.g., the user must be online to access the data behind the application, and advantages of this approach, e.g., the application server can be served locally, on the users' own computer, and the underlying data are all accessible in more technical formats.

Biodiversity research and education take place in a socio-cultural ecosystem that connects researchers and educators with the objects and methods of study, with facilities and organizations as well as with the natural and cultural worlds they are embedded in. Data about these different kinds of entities is typically distributed across a wide range of databases and other resources that differ not only in their scope and accessibility but also in the ways in which they model the data and link it to other parts of the knowledge ecosystem.

Over the course of the last ten years, many resources have been integrated systematically with Wikidata - a multilingual, open and FAIR platform for the collaborative curation of general reference data (Vrandečić and Krötzsch 2014). Wikidata approaches data integration and data curation with the "anyone can contribute" spirit that it adopted from its older sibling Wikipedia, extending this spirit to facilitate automated contributions and explorations.

This presentation will zoom in on visualizing biodiversity-related information in Wikidata, highlighting research and education aspects as well as associated curation workflows and the role of standards in enabling, enriching, maintaining, expanding and refining such workflows. Special attention will be paid to demo-ing Scholia, an open-source Wikidata frontend (Nielsen et al. 2017) that can be used to visualize and explore what Wikidata knows about fields of study as well as relevant institutions, taxa, collections, individuals, funders, databases, locations, publications, methodologies, ontologies and related matters, including relevant hypotheses and terminology in multiple languages.

While examples will be drawn from many corners of biodiversity, special emphasis will be given to information pertaining to the study and management of biological invasions (Jeschke et al. 2021).

As an interaction between insect and plant, galls present unique challenges to natural history collections. Traditionally, insects and plants are stored in different ranges within a museum, and a preserved gall may reasonably be placed in either one. Unidentified galls are especially difficult to categorize, as they may also be formed by non-insect agents (Roskam 2019). There is no uniform curatorial standard, which means that gall specimens do not always fit neatly into museum infrastructure. The gall collection at the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart (SMNS) serves as a model to explore the challenges of incorporating ecological interactions into digital and physical infrastructure, as well as the benefits and uses of the resulting digital data.

The entomological collection at SMNS houses an estimated 1000 to 2000 uncatalogued gall specimens, collected over approximately 200 years. Preservation methods include herbarium sheets, envelopes, albums, file folders, cardboard boxes, and folded newspaper. Some galls are also pinned in the dry insect collection alongside their inhabitants. The oldest of these are from the personal collection of Karl von Roser, who collected around Stuttgart in the early 19th century (Fig. 1), although the exact collecting dates and localities are unknown.

The study set included all specimens from the local state, Baden-Württemberg (n=395). Data were digitized via the DiversityCollection application in the Diversity Workbench (Triebel et al. 1999). A new data range was created for galls. Specimens were assigned accession numbers in order by date of collection. Updated taxonomic identifications of gall formers and host plants were included. Unidentified specimens were also accessioned, which would not have been feasible with the pre-existing collection ranges. Representatives of sixty-eight gall-forming species were further selected for photographic digitization (Fig. 2).

Data standardization presented significant challenges. Both taxonomic and geographical nomenclature have changed over the last 200 years, so historical interpretation was often necessary. Geographical coordinates were approximated using Google Maps. This approach was labor intensive and required specialized cultural and linguistic knowledge. However, the end results were worthwhile, including many new faunistic records, discovery of surprisingly undersampled areas (e.g., the Black Forest), and creative implementations of the digital data (a computer game). Future streamlining of the process is needed to facilitate larger-scale ecological studies, such as understanding the effects of climate change and habitat loss on gall communities over time (James et al. 2018).
Prospective teachers' design of STEAM learning units: STEAM capabilities' analysis

STEM education is a new field within which understandings of what constitutes effective practice, and how this can be supported, are still in their infancy. The present research describes the experiences of prospective elementary school teachers in designing collaboratively STEM activities. This designing experiences occurred in a context of a PD program called "Introduction to STEM education". During the STEM PD program, the pre-service teachers worked in six groups. Each group included three pre-service teachers who worked together throughout the PD program. Three written STEM units of three groups were chosen to be analyzed. In analyzing the STEM units, we referred to the STEM capabilities which consists of three components: STEM knowledge, skills and ways of thinking. The findings show different possibilities that STEM education can afford for task design. In terms of the integration of disciplines, the three analyzed units included activities in which, mostly, at least two disciplines were dominant. In terms of STEM skills, the designed unites targeted mainly the individual learning STEM skill instead of collaborative skills, which emphasize the need to pay special emphasis to this issue. Finally, in terms of STEM ways of thinking, analytical and evidence-based ways of thinking prevailed in the three units. The previous findings point at the importance of support for pre-service teachers to design STEM activities for implementation in their classrooms.
Ketamine With Psychotherapy for the Treatment of Depression
Authors: Forcen Fernando Espi , Nyer Maren
Published: September 2022

To date, ketamine is the only prescribable psychedelic medicine in the United States. Ketamine is also one of the most promising drugs for the treatment of depression. In the current paradigm of care, most ketamine clinics in the United States treat patients with mood disorders with ketamine and its derivatives alone without psychotherapy. The purpose of this article is to review the most recent literature about ketamine and psychotherapy for the treatment of psychiatric disorders and reflect and open a discussion about the potential benefits of combined ketamine treatment with psychotherapy versus ketamine alone.

Published: September 2022

In addition to physical symptoms and treatment burden, people affected by serious illness experience psychological, social, and spiritual distress. Medical professionals who care for them, including psychiatrists and other mental health clinicians, attend to these multiple dimensions of suffering with the hope and promise of improving patients' quality of life. Yet anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, and existential distress often prove resistant to existing medical or behavioral interventions. A growing body of evidence suggests the safety and efficacy of psychedelic-assisted therapies (PATs) to improve these outcomes. As societal norms around the stigma of psychedelic agents shift, there is an increasing interest in integrating these treatment modalities into serious illness care. To promote awareness among mental health professionals, this article describes aspects of serious illness care that might be amenable to PATs, reviews the evidence documenting the safety and efficacy of PATs in serious illness care, and highlights some of the opportunities and challenges moving forward.

A review of internal combustion engines powered by renewable energy based on ethanol fuel and HCCI technology
Authors: Minh Thang Nguyen , Minh Hieu Pham , Duy Vinh Nguyen
Published: September 2022

In general, as compared to conventional combustion engines, the homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine offers better fuel efficiency, NOx, and particulate matter emissions. The HCCI engine, on the other hand, is not connected to the spark plugs or the fuel injection system. This implies that the auto-ignition time and following combustion phase of the HCCI engine are not controlled directly. The HCCI engine will be confined to a short working range due to the cold start, high-pressure rate, combustion noise, and even knocking combustion. Biofuel innovation, such as ethanol-powered HCCI engines, has a lot of promise in today's car industry. As a result, efforts must be made to improve the distinctive characteristics of the engine by turning the engine settings to different ethanol mixtures. This study examines the aspects of ethanol-fueled HCCI engines utilizing homogenous charge preparation procedures. In addition, comparing HCCI engines to other advanced combustion engines revealed their increased importance and prospective consequences. Furthermore, the challenges of transitioning from conventional to HCCI engines are examined, along with potential answers for future upgrade approaches and control tactics.
