Millimeter Wave (mm-wave) has been considered as significant importance in various communication systems. It has achieved a greater attention to meet the capacity requirement of the future 5G network. Since mm-wave has a high frequency (30 to 300 GHz) using orthodox technologies for mm wave is more challenging. Thus advanced technology i.e. Deep Learning (DL) is a pragmatic approach to analyze a massive amount of data. Firstly, to find out how DL has beaten traditional approaches, this review briefly explores, the different methods of DL for mm wave are. Secondly, the review of the multiple applications in mm wave such as beam and blockages prediction, beam spacing, beamforming for mm wave OFDM system, precoding for mm-wave, channel estimation for mm-wave, sparse channel estimation, and hybrid precoding and fingerprinting-based indoor localization with mm wave is concisely explained. Last but not least, several studies have proved that DL has superior efficiency for mm wave than conventional approaches.

Concerns and awareness on beef quality and safety are increasing among the consumers. Beef that is being served to the customers has to be of good quality and safe to eat, as well as to prevent foodborne illnesses. Hence, it is important to ensure good meat quality during the process of beef production. The existing beef supply chain systems lack transparency, as a result, a hike in food frauds has been witnessed in Malaysia. Consequently, it is hard to infer if the beef reaching the consumers is safe and wholesome. Besides that, the existing supply chains have a time-consuming and tiring procedure of product tracking, which is not desirable for consumers and other various stakeholders involved. To mitigate this issue, in this paper, we propose the use of blockchain technology for beef supply chain to maintain the transparency of ingredients and processes used in beef production. This will strengthen the trust of consumer in the company and ensure that the produced beef is contamination free and healthy. The study comprehensively highlights the feasibility blockchain technology to be implemented in the beef supply chain to make it transparent, secure and easily trackable.

The kinetics of сodeposition of nickel and iron in an electrolyte based on a deep eutectic solvent (ethaline) was studied by voltammetry method. It was established that the partial voltammograms of iron ions reduction during alloy electrodeposition correspond to the region of electrode potentials, which is more than 100 mV positive in comparison with the electrodeposition potentials of pure iron. It was shown that the acceleration of iron ion electroreduction is associated with the gain in energy due to the alloy formation and a decrease in the overvoltage of iron electrodeposition during alloying. The change in the kinetics of iron electrodeposition can be explained by both a change in the mechanism of its electrodeposition in conjunction with nickel and a change in the state of the electrode surface in the potential region of the alloy formation. Comparison between the ratio of the content of the alloy components in the metal and the corresponding ions in the electrolyte showed that nickel and iron electrodeposit into the alloy in quantities that are proportional to their content in the electrolyte. Thus, electrodeposition of nickel-iron alloy from ethaline with a water content of up to 3% occurs by the so-called normal mechanism.

The synthesis of 6-chloro-(dichloro-, trichloro)methyl-3-R-6,7-dihydro-2H-[1,2,4]triazino[2,3-c]quinazolin-2-ones and their modification under the action of nucleophilic and/or basic reagents are described in this article. It was shown that 6-chloro-(dichloro-, trichloro)methyl-3-R-6,7-dihydro-2H-[1,2,4]triazino[2,3-c]quinazolin-2-ones can be prepared by cyclocondensation of 3-(aminophenyl)-6-R-1,2;4-triazine-5(2Н)-ones with chloro-(dichloro-)acetaldehyde or chloral hydrate. The reactivity of the synthesized compounds toward nucleophilic base morpholine and non-nucleophilic base diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) under different conditions was studied. It was shown that the prepared compounds under the action of morpholine and/or DIPEA can be converted into the products of substitution, elimination or elimination followed by isomerization and substitution. Refluxing of 6-(chloromethyl)-3-R-6,7-dihydro-2Н-[1,2,4]triazino[2,3-с]quinazoline-2-ones with equimolar quantity of morpholine and 10% excess of DIPEA in ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGEE) yielded the products on N-alkylation. 6-(Morpholinomethyl)-3-R-2H-[1,2,4]triazino[2,3-с]quinazoline-2-ones were obtained by heating of 6-dichloromethyl-3-R-6,7-dihydro-2Н-[1,2,4]triazino[2,3-с]quinazoline-2-ones with five-fold excess of morpholine in EGEE. Reaction of 3-R-6-(trichloromethyl)-6,7-dihydro-2H-[1,2,4]triazino[2,3-с]quinazolin-2-ones with three-fold excess of DIPEA in EGEE yielded 3-R-2Н-[1,2,4]triazino[2,3-с]quinazoline-2-ones. The physicochemical and spectral characteristics of the prepared compounds were determined and discussed.

Published: November 2021

The effect of shungite on the structural and viscous-flow properties of compositions based on oligobutadiene was studied. The strength of coagulation structures of ebonite compositions filled with shungite was determined. The critical filling concentration was established and it is 40 wt.% of shungite per 100 wt.% of oligobutadiene. It was shown that increasing the temperature from 200C to 800C leads to a significant reduction in the shear stress required to destroy the structure of the composition. Temperature and shear rate independently affect the structured composition. Thus, it was shown that shungite powder can be used as a filler in liquid ebonite compositions based on oligobutadiene.

The PVA–NH4SCN polymer membranes were prepared by simple solution casting technique by passing ultrasound waves during the preparation. The polymer membranes were subjected to X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed the incorporation of a salt into the polymer matrix. The scanning electron microscopy images showed the morphological changes of the polymer membrane. The polymer electrolyte (designated as UPVA20) incorporated with the 20 wt.% of the salt had the highest electrical conductivity in the order of 10–4 S cm–1. It was concluded from the dielectric, tangent and modulus spectra that the UPVA20 membrane was good at its properties. Thus, electric double layer capacitor was constructed with UPVA20 membrane as the separator. The capacitance value of the electric double layer capacitor determined from cyclic voltammetry was found to be 1652 mF g–1. The ultrasound assisted preparation of polymer membranes were good at performance when compared with the polymer membranes of ultrasound unassisted preparation. Among all the polymer electrolytes, UPVA20 polymer membrane had high conductivity, potential stability and capacitance.
Ophthalmic Manifestations of ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
Authors: İnanç Tekin Merve , Çakar Özdal Müge Pınar
Published: November 2021

Ocular manifestations in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis can be associated with the general or limited form of disease and can even occur in the absence of systemic disease. Ocular manifestations of associated vasculitis can be the first symptom of previously not manifested or undiagnosed systemic disease, allowing ophthalmologists to contribute to the diagnosis. Although its ocular findings are variable and nonspecific, the presence of necrotizing changes and peripheral corneal involvement accompanying scleral inflammation are important clues suggesting systemic vasculitis, especially associated vasculitis. The disease may affect all layers of the eye; scleritis and orbital involvement being the most common. Conjunctivitis, episcleritis, peripheral ulcerative keratitis, uveitis and retinal vasculitis are other ocular findings that may be observed during the disease course.

Ocular involvement is most commonly seen in granulomatosis with polyangiitis followed by eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis. Due to the high morbidity and mortality of associated vasculitis, it is very important to recognize the ocular manifestations of vasculitis as a sign of the underlying systemic disease and an indicator for the disease activity. Treatment varies depending on the location and severity of the ocular involvement. Although localized medical and surgical treatments can help to manage associated ocular disease, systemic immunosuppressive medications are often required to control the underlying disease. With the increasing availability and use of biological agents, prognosis has improved in patients with severe ocular complications. Rituximab appears to be useful in inducing remission and controlling relapses in patients with ocular involvement of associated vasculitis, particularly in cyclophosphamide resistant cases. A multidisciplinary approach in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients with associated vasculitis is required in order to achieve successful results.

The sample consisted of 550 farmers (275 producing saffron and 275 producing other plants) based on the Cochran formula who were selected through multistage sampling. The tool used to collect the data was Keyes’s standard Social Well-being Questionnaire (2004), consisting of 28 questions. After collecting the questionnaires, the data were analyzed using SPSS v. 23 and an independent t-test at a significance level of P<0.05. Results: There was a significant difference between the villagers planting saffron and other plants regarding their social health levels (P<0.000). The obtained t-value for social health, as a dependent variable, was 15.47. The obtained t-value for all the aspects of social health was higher than the acceptable t-value (P<0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that saffron villages had higher social solidarity, compared to other plants. Because cooperation and collaboration are necessary for different stages of saffron production, social cohesion is naturally reinforced

Background: The role of hormones in the female body is well known in reproductive age. Several studies have been conducted regarding hormonal fluctuations and their association with obsessive-compulsive disorder, but the role of psychological issues relevant to it has been ignored and only hormonal fluctuation and its impact were the target. Thus, the main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between Self-Concept Clarity (SCC) and obsessive-compulsive tendencies (Obsessive-Compulsive Concerns about Cleanliness (OCC) and Obsessive-Compulsive concerns about Harm and Injury (OCHI)). Another objective was to identify the difference between SCC, OCC, and OCHI in healthy and unhealthy females. Methods: A sample of (N=210) females, an equal number of healthy and unhealthy females, from different hospitals and the general population, with a mean age of 21 years, was selected by using convenience sampling technique as a type of non-probability sampling. Study participants were selected from the same city. Results: Comparison of healthy and unhealthy females revealed high levels of SCC and obsessive-compulsive tendencies among unhealthy females and also a significant positive correlation was found between these constructs. Conclusion: The females with irregular hormonal fluctuations develop obsessive-compulsive tendencies and these people are most sensitive to unimportant affairs, even sensitive to themselves that might create clarity in their self-concept.

Стаття присвячена дослідженню актуальних проблем формування податкової політики держави в аспекті зростання актуальності вуглецевих податків та боротьби із змінами клімату. При цьому ключовим моментом виступає визначення взаємозв’язку між податковою політикою та фіскальним тиском і стимулюванням промислових підприємств до зниження частки шкідливих викидів в процесі виробництва. Визначено, що вуглецевий податок повинен мати опосередкований вплив на фінансово-господарську діяльність підприємства і виступати не директивним, а стимулюючим фактором забезпечення екологічності виробництв. Досліджено, що глобальні тенденції боротьби із змінами клімату ведуть до запровадження нового типу карбонових податків, які регулюють для міжнародних компаній доступ до певних ринків і виражаються у непрямому податковому тиску на імпортерів.

Background

This study aims to provide a transparent and replicable documentation approach for the cultural adaptation of a cognitive-behavioural transdiagnostic intervention (Common Elements Treatment Approach, CETA) for Arabic-speaking refugees with common mental disorders in Germany.

Method

A mixed-methods approach was used, including literature review, interviews, expert decisions and questionnaires, in order to adapt the original CETA as well as an internet-based guided version (eCETA). The process of cultural adaptation was based on a conceptual framework and was facilitated by an adaptation monitoring form as well as guidelines which facilitate the reporting of cultural adaptation in psychological trials (RECAPT).

Results

Consistent with this form and the guidelines, the decision-making process of adaptation proved to be coherent and stringent. All specific CETA treatment components seem to be suitable for the treatment of Arabic-speaking refugees in Germany. Adaptations were made to three different elements: 1) Cultural concepts of distress: a culturally appropriate explanatory model of symptoms was added; socially accepted terms for expressing symptoms (for eCETA only) and assessing suicidal ideation were adapted; 2) Treatment components: no adaptations for theoretically/empirically based components of the intervention, two adaptations for elements used by the therapist to engage the patient or implement the intervention (nonspecific elements), seven adaptations for skills implemented during sessions (therapeutic techniques; two for eCETA only) and 3) Treatment delivery: 21 surface adaptations (10 for eCETA only), two eCETA-only adaptations regarding the format.

Conclusion

The conceptual framework and the RECAPT guidelines simplify, standardise and clarify the cultural adaptation process.
Standardised research methods and documentation in cultural adaptation: The need, the potential and future steps
Authors: Heim Eva , Knaevelsrud Christine
Published: November 2021

Background

Refugees and asylum seekers in Europe are affected by high prevalence of common mental disorders. Under the call ‘mental health of refugee populations’, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (FMER) funded a series of research projects to test evidence-based psychological interventions among refugee populations in Germany. In addition, the “Task force for cultural adaptation of mental health interventions for refugees” was established to develop a structured procedure for harmonising and documenting cultural adaptations across the FMER-funded research projects.

Method

A template for documenting cultural adaptations in a standardised manner was developed and completed by researchers in their respective projects. Documentation contained original data from formative research, as well as references and other sources that had been used during the adaptation process. All submitted templates and additional materials were analysed using qualitative content analysis.

Results

Research projects under the FMER call include minors, adults, and families from different origins with common mental disorders. Two studies used and adapted existing manuals for the treatment of PTSD. Four studies adapted existing transdiagnostic manuals, three of which had already been developed with a culture-sensitive focus. Four other studies developed new intervention manuals using evidence-based treatment components. The levels of cultural adaptation varied across studies, ranging from surface adaptations of existing manuals to the development of new, culture-sensitive interventions for refugees.

Conclusions

Cultural adaptation is often an iterative process of piloting, feedback, and further adaptation. Having a documentation system in place from start helps structuring this process and increases transparency.

Spatial comparisons of reef shark abundance inside and outside marine protected areas (MPAs) are common and generally report positive MPA effects, yet few studies have tracked abundance trends over long time periods. This is problematic because inside:outside comparisons at a single point in time cannot evaluate whether populations are declining. In Belize, the Caribbean reef shark Carcharhinus perezi is one of the most fished shark species and is more abundant inside MPAs. Although the relative abundance of C. perezi was stable inside Glover’s Reef Marine Reserve (GRMR) from 2001 to 2013, using standard baited remote underwater video station surveys, we document a decline in relative abundance inside the no-take marine reserve from 2009 to 2019. We used a negative binomial generalized linear model and model averaging to test the effect of year, depth, and water temperature on C. perezi and nurse shark Ginglymostoma cirratum relative abundance. While model-averaged results indicated a C. perezi decline, G. cirratum remained stable from 2009 to 2019. We hypothesize that the C. perezi decline is a result of fishing along the edge of GRMR, while G. cirratum stability is related to their behavior and nationwide protection. Given the dynamic nature of fisheries regulations, economic pressures, and site-specific environmental conditions, our results emphasize the need for standardized long-term monitoring of reef sharks inside and around MPAs globally.
Salt tolerance during germination identifies native intertidal plant species at risk under increasing salinity with sea level rise

Published: November 2021

Climate change and sea level rise are causing an increase in salinity in coastal salt marshes around the world. These changes may alter the germination dynamics of some halophytes, threatening their conservation. Our study area (Atlantic coast of the southwestern Iberian Peninsula) is currently being affected by sea level rise, and increases in sediment salinity have been recorded. We studied the germination responses during and after a wide range of imposed salinities (0-600 mM) of 5 Asteraceae species; 3 colonizing salt marshes (Artemisia caerulescens, Aster tripolium and Inula crithmoides) and 2 (Dittrichia spp.) inhabiting adjacent non-tidal environments. In addition, habitat characteristics (plant cover, sediment redox potential, electrical conductivity, pH, water content and bulk density) associated with each marsh species were measured and compared with the spatial distribution of the Asteraceae species in the field and their capacity to germinate at different salinities. The germination syndrome of Aster tripolium and Inula crithmoides was characterized as germinating in salinity ranging from fresh water to 600 mM salinity (36 ppt). The rare halophyte A. caerulescens and the 2 non-tidal Dittrichia species presented a germination syndrome based on no germination at high salinities and high recovery germination (55-80%). Considering the high sensitivity of A. caerulescens to salinity during germination, active conservation measures are recommended to promote its preservation in the Mediterranean Basin. These include creating new populations and promoting salt marsh connectivity to facilitate the processes of species mobility and marsh migration to uplands where sediment salinity is lower.

Published: November 2021

The valleys of Restelica and Vraca in Kosovo have not been explored sufficiently due to their geographical position and the harshness of the terrain. The plant species Ranunculus degenii has been collected in Restelica, on the way to the border with North Macedonia or between this road and the Albanian border near Shishtavec, while the species Verbascum scardicola has been found in the Vraca valley. These localities are mainly dominated by silicate substrate, although the presence of conglomerate substrates is not excluded. These newly discovered habitats of these rare and endangered species represent their southernmost edge known to date. This paper reviews and discusses their discovery, description, distribution and mapping in these localities of the Sharri Mountains.
