Authors: Wang Kan , Wang Jinfeng , Xie Jing , Ma Xingxing
Published: April 2023

Temperature control is an important factor which influences the accuracy of refrigerant heat transfer experimental results. In this paper, the three temperature control methods for the electric heating water tank (EHWT) in the single tube heat transfer experimental rig are investigated. The error of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is ?1?C and the stability time is 390 seconds. The control performance is not satisfactory. A fuzzy controller and a fuzzy PID controller are designed to improve temperature control performance. The designed controllers are simulated by MATLAB/SIMULINK and the results prove that the designed controllers is suitable for EHWT. The experimental results show that the performance of the designed controllers are improved concerning. The error of two controllers is ?0.1?. Compared to the PID controller, the stability time of the fuzzy controller and the fuzzy PID controller are decreased by 14.9% and 43.1% and the overshoot of the two controllers are reduced by 100% and 62.5%, respectively. The results and the control method have great significance for the refrigerant heat transfer experiment.

Published: April 2023

In this work, the examination of an experimental air-cooled photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) module is introduced. Two different shapes of fin fixed to the copper absorber plate are examined for the classical unit of an air-cooled PV/T collector. Vertical and louver-shaped fins (with the same surface area) are investigated and thermally evaluated in this study. The experiments aimed to increase the temperature difference between inlet and outlet air to reach high thermal performance. The enhancement result showed that the thermal efficiency of the louver fin unit increased by 48% and 54% compared to the vertical fin and unfinned units, respectively. Thus, louver fins are better than vertical fins with the same surface area.

Jyväskylän yliopiston kirjoittamisen opinnoissa tutustutaan monimediaiseen kirjoittamiseen ja audiovisuaalisuuden perustietoihin. Opiskelijat suunnittelevat elämäkerran, joka hyödyntää monimediaisia ilmaisukeinoja. Elämäkerrallinen kirjoittaminen tarkoittaa elämän kuvailun ohella yleensä arvottavaa otetta ja johtaa pohtimaan hyvän elämän piirteitä.Tämän artikkelin keskeisiä tutkimuskysymyksiä on, millaisena hyvinvointi näyttäytyy suunnitelmissa sekä jakson oppimispäiväkirjoissa. Tutkimus selvittää, millaisin kuvallisin, sanallisin ja auditiivisin keinoin elämäkertasuunnitelmissa kuvataan hyvinvointia.Opiskelijat hyödyntävät multimodaalisia ilmaisukeinoja ja teknologiaa vaikeiden aiheiden etäännyttämiseen. Kirjoittaminen myös tuottaa hyvinvointia, jos se kiinnittää huomion elämän myönteisiin puoliin. Audiovisuaalisuus näkyy suunnitelmissa sen perinteisessä merkityksessä sekä myös laajemmin tulkittuna. Suunnitelmiin kuuluu kiinnittyminen paikkaan, jossa elämää eletään ja tutkitaan.

As part of their studies, students plan a biography that utilizes multimedia means of expression. In addition to describing an individual’s life, biographical writing usually means adopting an evaluative approach and it can lead the biographer to consider the characteristics of a good life.The central research questions of this article address how well-being appears in students’ plans and learning diaries during the study unit. This study examines which visual, verbal, and auditory means students use to describe well-being in their biography plans.Students use multimodal means of expression and technology to distance themselves from sensitive topics. Designing a multimedia biography and writing a learning diary can also produce well-being when it draws attention to the positive aspects of one’s own life. Audiovisuality can be seen in the plans in its traditional sense as well as in a broader interpretation. The plans include situational understanding of places where life is lived and explored. Thus, in the contexts of multimodal biographies, we introduce a concept of localized audiovisuality.Keywords: autobiography, life writing, multimedia, multimediality, writing, well-being, locality

Distribution Of Icings In The Northern (Russian) Part Of The Selenga River Basin And Their Role In The Functioning Of Ecosystems And Impact On SettlementsIcing is an integral part of the landscape in areas with permafrost. It is formed in winter in river valleys, along stream beds, in places of groundwater discharge and, unlike other objects of the cryosphere, is characterized by active dynamics. The main objective of this study is to identify the role and significance of icings in the functioning of natural systems of Russian part of the Selenga River basin, as well as their impact on settlements.The first map of icings distribution was created based on Landsat imagery. In total, more than 15,500 icings were found. The highest concentration of icings is observed for forest landscapes. Icings in the forest-steppe belt are distinguished by their morphometric characteristics. They are often formed in giant areas of more than 1 km2. Steppe icings account for about 8 % of all objects of the study area. Icings play an important role in the functioning of forest and, in particular, foreststeppe ecosystems, as they largely determine the redistribution of water flow in small watersheds.During the period of increasing total water content, icings become a factor contributing to emergency situations. The potential risk of inundation has been established for 65 settlements in the Russian part of the Selenga River basin.
Spatial variation of feature density in multiscale topographic data
Authors: Samsonov T. E. , Yakimova O. P. , Potemkin D. A. , Guseva O. A.
Published: April 2023

Digital topographic maps are created in a series of scales from large to small, and the underlying spatial data is commonly organized as a multiscale database consisting of several levels of detail (LoDs). Spatial density of features (or spatial objects) in such database varies both between LoDs (coarser levels are less densely populated with features) and within each LoD (feature density changes over the area). While the former type of density variation is caused by generalization, the latter one is mainly conditioned by geographic location and its properties, such as landscape complexity or fraction of urban areas. Since topographic database LoDs are derived using different data sources and generalization techniques, there is a need for a method that can help with automated evaluation of resulting feature density in terms of its appropriateness for the specified location and level of detail. This paper provides such method by uncovering dependencies between the location properties and the density of spatial data in multiscale topographic database. Changes in feature density are modeled as a function of spatial (landscape complexity and terrain ruggedness) and non-spatial (land cover types ratio) measures estimated via independent data sources. Resulting model predicts how much higher or lower is the expected spatial density of features over the area in comparison to the average density for the LoD. This information can be used further to assess the fitness of the data to the desired level of detail of the topographic map.

Authors: Gore Manisha , Yeravdekar Dr Rajiv , Menon Dr. Kavitha
Published: April 2023

Background: A paucity of information exists on the impact of health-promoting activities conducted in low-and-middle-income country settings including Indian Higher Education Institution (HEI). Health promoting universities offer a variety of on-campus health promotion activities to improve the health and lifestyle of the university students. However, the information on the impact of such programmes are scanty.
Aim: The study aimed to assess the university students' Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profiles (HPLP) before and after exposure to the ongoing on-campus health promotional activities for one year.
Methods: All freshmen admitted to an international university in India, with campuses across the major cities, were enrolled in the study. The study was conducted in two phases; phase 1 assessed the baseline existing HPLP scores of these students and phase 2 investigated the impact of on-campus health promotion activities for one year on the HPLP scores, a proxy for healthy lifestyle behaviour.
Results: The total HPLP scores differed significantly between the two phases (137.9 vs 130.9; p=0.000). Similarly, a significant increase in physical activity scores between the two phases was observed (17.8 vs 19.5; p=0.000). A gender-wise comparison of total and sub-scale HPLP scores of phase I reported significantly higher total HPLP, health responsibility, nutrition, and interpersonal sub-scale scores in females; and significantly higher physical activity scores in males (18.5 vs 17.3; p=0.000). In phase 2, females had significantly higher scores in total HPLP, nutrition, interpersonal, and physical activity sub-scale scores. In both phases females had significantly higher total HPLP scores than males (Phase 1: 137.6 vs 139.8; p=0.000; Phase 2 130.6 vs 131.3; p=0.000).
Conclusions: A gender-wise difference on the impact of on-campus health promoting activities with higher impact on females was observed. A more focused, systematic and targeted approach through curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular courses may further improve the HPLP scores of Indian university students.

Authors: Neeragatti Surya , Dehury Ranjit Kumar , Sripathi Nishchala
Published: April 2023

Introduction: As the availability of huge amounts of digital health information content increases, the popularity of Digital Health Information Search (DHIS) has increased. This paper explores the determinants that influence the intention to DHIS by the public by extending the UTAUT model with health behaviour constructs like health consciousness, attitude towards health information, and trust in DHI.
Method: The instrument was created by adapting scales from previous studies. Survey forms were circulated through online platforms with the snowball sampling technique. With the 345 finalized sample, analysis was carried out, and structural equation modelling (SEM) is used for data analysis with the help of SPSS v.26 and AMOS v.26.
Results: Sample demographics show that 60% of the respondents have experience of 5 years in using smartphones, and 70% of respondents use the smartphone from 1 to 6 hours per day. We see that less time was spent on digital health information (DHI). For searching DHI, respondents use Google/other browsers and for sharing it, WhatsApp is the most used app. The reliability of scales was checked in SPSS, which resulted in Cronbach's alpha value greater than 0.7 for all scales. The hypothesis testing resulted in all the constructs showing a significant relationship. We see that performance expectancy, social influence, and trust in DHI showed a strong significant relation with the intention to DHIS.
Conclusion: This study extends the literature in information systems adoption studies by adding a combination of the technology acceptance model with health constructs. Factors influencing the intention to DHIS are accessibility, influence from peers, and information reliability are more concerned. This study shows the importance and need for genuine DHI from valid healthcare providers, in which the creators of healthcare information, like Government and private healthcare providers, have to be more conscious.

Inflation, the rise in prices of goods and services, has been on an exponential rise over the past few years globally. The excess inflation and the devaluation of the Nigerian currency has aggravated the problem of poor healthcare funding in the country. The overlooked influences that global inflation has had on the Nigerian healthcare system were highlighted in this work. Some of the influences included increased healthcare costs leading to demand-related problems, increased morbidity, reduced quality of healthcare delivery despite the increased cost, understaffing, the inefficiency of healthcare workers, medical brain drain as well as dwindling of research activities. In line with these consequences, it has become imperative for the government to take action to curb the growing menace of inflation and its impacts, through policy development and implementation as well as increasing resource allocation to the health sector.

The present study was aimed at the diagnosis of subclinical endometritis and its impact on early reproductive parameters in postpartum dairy cows (N=45). The proportion of polymorphonuclear cells (PMNCs-%) and intraluminal uterine fluid (ILUF-mm) was assessed by cytotape and transrectal ultrasonography, respectively, for the diagnosis of subclinical endometritis at 8 weeks post-partum. A receiver operator characteristics curve was used to determine the diagnostic threshold of PMNCs and ILUF. The optimal threshold value for PMNCs was ≥6% (area under the curve (AUC)-0.89; sensitivity-85.71%; specificity-83.33%; P<0.05) whereas it was ≥3.40 mm for ILUF (AUC-0.92; sensitivity-100%; specificity-83.33%; P<0.05). The diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) for the development of subclinical endometritis in cows having a PMNCs percentage and ILUF above the threshold level was 7.70 and 6.00, respectively. Early reproductive parameters, such as days needed for completion of uterine involution (UINV) and first postpartum ovulation (FPO) were studied and were reported to be significantly higher in cows diagnosed with subclinical endometritis based on the percentage of PMNCs (P<0.01; P<0.05 for UINV & FPO, respectively) and ILUF (P<0.05; P<0.01 for UINV & FPO, respectively). Linear correlation analysis showed a significant relationship (p≤0.01-0.05) between the proportion of PMNCs and early reproductive parameters. Similarly, a significant correlation (P<0.01) between ILUF and PMNCs was reported, irrespective of the threshold level. In conclusion, endometrial cytology and transrectal ultrasonography with a threshold level ≥6% for PMNCs and ≥3.40 mm for ILUF, respectively, defined the presence of subclinical endometritis, and this led to a delay in the establishment of subsequent early post-partum reproductive performance.

The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) has emerged as an interesting alternative protein source in animal feed due to its ability to grow on various substrates. Although it has many rearing benefits and possible applications, it has an unfavourable fatty acid profile if used for human consumption due to its high content of lauric acid and low content of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In order to investigate whether the lipid composition of black soldier fly larvae can be altered, the feeding media were supplemented with varying concentrations of fish, linseed or coconut oil (1, 2.5 and 5%). Two-week-old larvae were collected, measured and their tissue fatty acid composition was determined. The fatty acid profile of the larvae showed significant plasticity, depending on the life stage and the fatty acid composition of the feeding media. The addition of 2.5 and 5% of different oils significantly changed the fatty acid composition of larvae, depending on the type and percentage of oil. The n6/n3 ratio was considerably improved by supplementing fish and linseed oil. The addition of linseed oil increased the content of linolenic acid, but bioconversion to eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids was low. In contrast, the addition of fish oil significantly increased the content of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids in the larvae. The content of lauric acid significantly increased after coconut addition. The trial showed that by using different oils, the lipid composition of black soldier fly larvae could be specifically changed to increase the beneficial long chain n3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and the amount of lauric or linolenic acid.

Negative energy balance (NEB) causes economic losses to dairy farms around the globe. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of NEB on energy metabolism, reproduction, etc. during early lactation in dairy cows on intensive farms in Heilongjiang, China. According to β- hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA), glucose (GLU), Non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) levels, and clinical manifestations 14-21 days postpartum, 118 cows were divided into a positive energy balance (PEB) group (BHBA<1.2, GLU>2.8, NEFA<0.7 mmol/L, n=67) and an NEB group (BHBA>1.2, GLU<2.8, NEFA>0.7 mmol/L, n=51). These indicators were analyzed by cross-sectional research methods combined with Pearson correlation analysis and a prospective cohort study. The results showed that at 14-21 days postpartum, compared with the PEB, the body condition score, body condition loss (BCL), milk urea nitrogen, BHBA, NEFA, the interval from calving to first estrus (ICFE), pregnancy per artificial insemination (P/AI), and calving interval were higher (P<0.05), and daily lactation (DL), milk protein and GLU, estrus rate and conception rate were lower in NEB cows. BCL was positively correlated with ICFE and P/AI (P<0.05), and negatively correlated with estrus and conception rate (P<0.05). DL was negatively correlated with the P/AI (P<0.05). There was a positive association between NEB and anestrus (χ2 M-H=12.63, P=0.0004), the risk of anestrus caused by NEB rose by 3.67 times that of PEB. The conclusion showed that NEB is closely related to BCL, which is a factor in the decline of lactation and reproductive performance in dairy cows. NEB is a risk factor for anestrus in dairy cows.

Canine chronic ulcerative stomatitis (CCUS) is a condition characterized by chronic pain, associated with oral ulceration, inflammation and mucosal necrosis. We report the case of a 5-year-old female Akita Inu canine with sialorrhea, halitosis, oral ulcers, submandibular lymphadenopathy and substantial oral discomfort. After a poor response to conventional scaling and antibiotic treatment, the patient improved when prednisolone was administered at a dose of 1mg / kg daily. Aggressive immunosuppressive treatments and teeth extractions were ruled out, so cellular therapy was started. This study evaluates the effect of allogeneic thawed and expanded canine adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) therapy in a case of CCUS. Four local injections of AT-MSCs (3.5 to 8×106 cells) were administered every 3–4 weeks under general anesthesia and immediately after dental scaling. A higher dose of AT-MSCs (22×106 cells) was injected 5 months later under the same conditions. After the AT-MSCs treatment, the patient showed an improvement in oral lesions and reduction of oral pain for at least 4 weeks. We concluded that a dose of 1×106 AT-MSCs/kg body weight reduced the symptoms of CCUS for at least one month in this case. To our knowledge, this is the first description of allogeneic AT-MSC therapy on canine chronic ulcerative stomatitis.

The objectives of this research were to investigate the effect of the housing system (tie-stall and free-stall barns) on the prevalence of hoof diseases/disorders, as well as on the percentage of culling in 6,348 Holstein dairy cows from 5 farms. During the three months of research the hoof care service on all farms collected records of causes of lameness, diagnoses and treatments. Functional and corrective hoof trimming was conducted by a professional farm trimmer. When all the registered diseases/disorders were observed as a percentage (all diseases = 100%), it was noticed that both housing systems were similarly affected by the same diseases/disorders. In this regard, White Line Disease occurred in both systems in prevalence of 0.5% - 1%, Toe Ulcer and Necrosis in 3% - 6%, Rusterholz Ulcer / Sole Ulcer in 20% - 23%, Digital Dermatitis in 18% - 20%, Interdigital Hyperplasia / Tyloma in 10% - 12%, Panaritium / Interdigital Phlegmon in 0.7% - 0.77%, while the prevalence of Mechanical Injury was negligible and in similar amounts - 0.2% - 0.5%. Cows in the free-stall barns were much more burdened with Dermatitis Interdigitalis / Heel Erosion Disease (39.11%) compared to cows in the bound housing system (20.40%). In contrast, diagnosed acute, chronic and haemorrhagic Laminitis was significantly more pronounced in the tie-stall barns (18.61%) than in the free-stall barns (0.88%). In the statistical analysis conducted, statistically significantly more diseases/disorders were registered in the tie-stall system than in the free housing system (P<0.01). During the three months of the study, the average percentage of culling in the free system was 5.4%, while in the tie-stall system it was 4.9%. This difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05).

Metacercariae of the digenetic trematode Clinostomum complanatum Rudolphi, 1814 were observed in chub (Squalius cephalus) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) from the Orljava River (Croatia). Both the prevalence and infection intensity were higher in the chub (prevalence 23.4%, average intensity 70.5) than in the common carp (5.9%, 4.5). In general, the metacercariae were located in the wall of the anterior part of the digestive tract and branchial cavity, the supraocular region, and the hypaxial musculature near the paired fins. Histology revealed the obvious affinity of the parasite for striated muscles and connective tissue. In situ, the metacercariae were surrounded by wellvascularized connective tissue capsules composed primarily of collagen fibers, fibroblasts, and fibrocytes. This study provides some insight into the parasite’s pathogenicity and the relationship between host and parasite.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of the dog’s age, semen quality, and the duration and season of semen transit on whelping rate and litter size after insemination with transported chilled extended semen. The sperm rich fraction was collected from 43 dogs of 18 breeds, which were presented at the Clinic for chilled semen transport, in the period from 2017 to 2021. Immediately after collection, the total sperm concentration and count, motility, membrane integrity (HOS test), the percentage of live spermatozoa and sperm morphology (eosin nigrosin staining) were evaluated. The sperm rich fraction was centrifuged and diluted with Tris – fructose - citrate extender with the addition of 20% (v/v) egg yolk, then chilled and prepared for shipping. A dose consisted of at least 200x106 live, motile, morphologically normal spermatozoa. The data on the dog’s age, chilled sperm transit time, the season of transit, and the whelping rate and litter size after insemination were recorded. The whelping rate was 55.8% with a mean (±SEM) litter size of 4.71±0.58 pups. The total number of spermatozoa was higher in artificial insemination (AI) that resulted in whelping compared to unsuccessful AI (P<0.05). No difference was observed for any of other sperm quality parameters tested, such as the dog’s age or season of transit regarding whelping rate or litter size. Transit time significantly affected the whelping rate (P<0.01), at (mean±SEM) 21.50±1.28 and 37.00±5.59 h in successful and unsuccessful AI, respectively. In conclusion, analysis of the factors related to the dogs identified total sperm count and transit time as factors that significantly affected whelping rates in bitches inseminated with transported chilled extended semen.
Do accounting benefits of ERP systems impact the satisfaction of end-users? From the perspective of accountants and internal auditors in Sri Lanka

Research Question: What are the accounting benefits perceived by accountants and internal auditors that entail through Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems? Is there an interaction of ERP accounting benefits with the accountants’ and internal auditors’ satisfaction level in using ERP systems? Motivation: Many organizations are implementing ERP systems extensively while sharing a common database and being real-time. Past scholars summon empirical studies on ERP's impact on accounting benefits and user satisfaction. Therefore, this study was conducted from accountants’ and internal auditors’ perspective as recent scholars shed light on the cruciality of these two groups' perceptions as key ERP users. Idea: This study examines the accounting benefits that entail through the adoption of ERP systems by Sri Lankan companies with regard to ERP user satisfaction from the perspective of accountants and internal auditors. Data: The data were collected from 38 accountants and 19 internal auditors across 24 companies that are implementing ERP systems for more than four years. Tools: A quantitative survey methodology is employed to draw empirical evidence. Findings: The findings confirm that organizational, operational (time), and IT accounting benefits derived from ERP systems significantly and positively influence ERP users' satisfaction. In contrast, operational accounting benefits (cost) received the lowest rating and did not significantly influence user satisfaction. Contribution: While these findings are valuable to accountants and internal auditors to better understand the ERP accounting benefits, ERP consultants and system providers also benefit from identifying ERP accounting features to uplift user satisfaction in developing countries.
