Es necesario generar otro tipo de alternativas para el tratamiento del agua residual del café, que le permita al productor reducir los tiempos de proceso y de mantenimiento en las plantas de tratamiento, al igual que el cumplimiento con la normativa ambiental vigente. Una de estas alternativas es la utilización de procesos fisicoquímicos conocidos con el nombre de coagulación-floculación, utilizando sustancias obtenidas de diferentes órganos de diversas especies de plantas, las cuales ejercen un papel similar al de los compuestos químicos utilizados para este fin.
Método de las dos canecas: para separar flotes en pequeños lotes de frutos de café
Authors: Oliveros-Tascón Carlos Eugenio , Rodríguez-Valencia Nelson , Ramírez César Augusto , Sanz-Uribe Juan Rodrigo , Velásquez-Henao Javier
Published: November 2021

Como consecuencia de ataques de broca, roya y otras enfermedades, la falta de agua en la época de llenado de los frutos, falta de nutrición y demora excesiva entre pases de recolección, la masa de frutos de café que llega al beneficiadero contiene frutos con densidad inferior a la del agua, denominados flotes, los cuales deben separarse para obtener café de mejor calidad y precio de venta. En este Avance Técnico se presenta un método hidráulico manual para la separación de flotes, sencillo y de bajo costo, que puede ser implementado en fincas pequeñas, o para tandas de inicio y fin de cosecha, en fincas de mayor producción.

Szervezeti integritás a büntetőjogi felelősségre vonás megelőzése érdekében – Integritáselmélet kriminálprofilaktikus megközelítésben
Authors: Molnár Erzsébet
Published: November 2021

Crime prevention is an obligation of a state. However, there are special areas where the state is unable to perform this obligation effectively on its own, therefore the difficulty of detection results in increased latency for specific crimes. Low detection efficiency motivates the continuation of commit these crimes, even if the legislator envisages high sanctions for the commission of the given conduct. Crudely sanctions would only act as a deterrent if the perpetrator of the crime could reasonably fear unconditional prosecution because of the high detection potential of the act. In the absence of this, increasing sanctions is not an optimal means of reducing latency, and thus of crime prevention. Such an area of detection challenge is also crime within the organization, as due to the closed, hierarchical structure of the organization, it is suitable to reveal illegal behaviors committed within its framework to the outside world, and thus to law enforcement authorities. It is therefore in the fundamental interest of the state to encourage organizations to prevent abuses within their framework, even if they otherwise serve the interests of the organization. The integrity approach promotes the morally clean operation of the organization and the individuals that are part of it, thus it is also a suitable system of tools to prevent the typically latent economic and corruption crimes committed within the organization. The study deals with organizational integrity in a criminological, more narrowly, crime prevention approach. After formulating the meaning of integrity from a criminological point of view, it deals with the relationship between integrity and compliance, and then with the question of what motivating factors make the organization to a source of danger at all, to a criminogenic area, and how to eliminate these factors. The final chapter of the study addresses the crime prevention relevance of integrity management tools.

Measuring corruption in a manner that is not substantiated scientifically and consequently elaborating international ranking lists may result in serious consequences, public condemnation of certain countries, as well as economic disadvantages. A fundamental prerequisite to effectively prevent and fight corruption is to have adequate information available about its scope and nature. Therefore, it is of utmost importance for the measurement system to be scientifically reliable and valid. In order to be able to assess the corruption situation in Hungary in a balanced and true manner, the study outlines the most important professional requirements and scientific standards in relation to the corruption measurement system, using the State Audit Office of Hungary’s studies on the reliability of corruption measurement, the results of its Integrity Survey, and the literature on corruption measurement and research methodology. It points out that corruption as a whole cannot be measured, however it is feasible to examine certain elements thereof. Thus, separately and with the adequate tools, for example the following can be examined: people’s attitude towards corruption, perception of corruption, their experience, as well as corruption risks and anti-corruption measures. Professional and organizational independence of the organization carrying out the assessment is a must, when it comes to unbiased measurement offering an objective view on the corruption phenomenon examined. The subject of the research must be made clear, the basic precondition for the measurement being the clear and exact definition of corruption and the related terms that also complies with the unique features of national legislation and values. An exact definition of the objective and the questions of the research is also essential, as these will determine the methods and the scope of the assessment, the parties concerned, the presentation of the results and the utilization thereof. The methodology and data sources of the research shall be presented in a way and to such extent that users can make sure, based thereon, that the research is substantiated and independent, researchers or research teams are able to repeat the research. Results of the research shall be presented professionally, in an objective manner, so that the planning of anti-corruption measures and interventions is made possible based on them. When formulating conclusions, special attention must be paid not to blur the lines between corruption-related phenomena and terms.

State-owned enterprises must comply with the new requirements for their internal control system in accordance with Government Decree No. 339/2019. (XII. 23.). The provisions, in force from 1 January 2021, are intended to promote the orderly operation of state-owned enterprises and to strengthen public trust in the efficient operation. Among the state-owned enterprises, the companies of the prison service are in a very specific position, as in their case the most efficient employment of the detainees and the establishment of a partially self-sustaining penitentiaries are also important expectations. The peculiarity of these prison companies is that their activities are managed not only by the Ministry of Interior and the Prison Service Headquarters, but also by an economic organization called BV Holding Ltd. In our study, we seek the answer to the various multicompliance requirements for the operation of the prison companies in the new regulatory environment and provide practical recommendations on implementing risk management tools in order to ensure not only legal compliance, but a more effective operation, too.
THE IMPACT OF JOB SATISFACTION ON VALUERS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS PROFESSIONAL ETHICS
Authors: Małkowska Agnieszka , Tomal Mateusz , Uhruska Małgorzata , Pawlak Justyna , Maier Gunther , Nichiforeanu Alina
Published: November 2021

Professional ethics is one of the two pillars of the valuer’s business practice, alongside expert knowledge. Ethical principles are usually formulated within a code of professional ethics which valuers are obliged to follow. The approach to professional ethics is a complex problem and it is conditioned by several factors. In our study, we pose the question whether higher professional satisfaction of real estate valuers translates into more ethical attitudes regarding work-related dilemmas. We conducted research on property valuation services in two European markets: Austria and Poland. Data for the analysis was drawn from 176 surveys in which valuers were asked to respond to hypothetical work situations corresponding to the principles of the real estate valuer’s code. The results obtained using the ordinary least squares (OLS) and two-stage last squares (2SLS) regression methods allow us to conclude that higher job satisfaction positively impacts valuers’ ethical attitudes. The segment of the market served is also an important driver. Valuers who mainly work for property developers show a significantly lower level of ethical attitudes. The influence of the country on professional ethics is ambiguous.
A Candidate Kiloparsec-scale Quasar Pair at z = 5.66
Authors: Yue Minghao , Fan Xiaohui , Yang Jinyi , Wang Feige
Published: November 2021

We report the discovery of a close quasar pair candidate at z = 5.66, J2037–4537. J2037–4537 is resolved into two quasar images at the same redshift in ground-based observations. Follow-up spectroscopy shows significant differences in both the continuum slopes and emission line properties of the two images. The two quasar images have a projected separation of 1.″24 (7.3 kpc at z = 5.66) and a redshift difference of Δz ≲ 0.01. High-resolution images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope do not detect the foreground lensing galaxy. The observational features of J2037–4537 strongly disfavor the lensing hypothesis. If J2037–4537 is a physical quasar pair, it indicates a quasar clustering signal of ∼105 at a separation of ∼10 proper kpc (pkpc), and gives the first observational constraint on the pair fraction of z > 5 quasars, f
pair(r < 30 pkpc) > 0.3%. The properties of J2037–4537 are consistent with those of merger-triggered quasar pairs in hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy mergers.
Pathogens co-transported with invasive non-native aquatic species: implications for risk analysis and legislation

Published: November 2021

Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) can co-transport externally and internally other organisms including viruses, bacteria and other eukaryotes (including metazoan parasites), collectively referred to as the symbiome. These symbiotic organisms include pathogens, a small minority of which are subject to surveillance and regulatory control, but most of which are currently unscrutinized and/or unknown. These putatively pathogenetic symbionts can potentially pose diverse risks to other species, with implications for increased epidemiological risk to agriculture and aquaculture, wildlife/ecosystems, and human health (zoonotic diseases). The risks and impacts arising from co-transported known pathogens and other symbionts of unknown pathogenic virulence, remain largely unexplored, unlegislated, and difficult to identify and quantify. Here, we propose a workflow using PubMed and Google Scholar to systematically search existing literature to determine any known and potential pathogens of aquatic INNS. This workflow acts as a prerequisite for assessing the nature and risk posed by co-transported pathogens of INNS; of which a better understanding is necessary to inform policy and INNS risk assessments. Addressing this evidence gap will be instrumental to devise an appropriate set of statutory responsibilities with respect to these symbionts, and to underpin new and more effective legislative processes relating to the disease screening and risk assessment of INNS.
Plagiothecium schofieldii, a new species from the Aleutian Islands (Alaska, USA)
Authors: Wolski Grzegorz J. , Nowicka-Krawczyk Paulina , Buck William R.
Published: November 2021

Plagiothecium schofieldiisp. nov. is described from the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, U.S.A. Some morphological features of this species correspond to P. lamprostachys (Southern Hemisphere species); however, Plagiothecium schofieldii is genetically and morphologically different from this and other common Northern Hemisphere species e.g., P. denticulatum, P. platyphyllum, or P. ruthei. The most important distinguishing morphological features differentiating this species are: the arrangement of the leaves on the stem; dimensions, concavity and symmetry of the leaves; dimensions of cells and their areolation; orientation of capsules. Additionally, due to the strong concavity of the leaves, they are very often badly damaged under the microscope. We present the results of DNA research of the analyzed samples, and a detailed description of the morphological features. The new species is illustrated, and its ecological preferences and currently known geographical distribution are presented. Additionally, the authors propose to add this species to Plagiothecium section, which is confirmed by morphological features and genetic analysis.
The minimal wave speed of the Lotka-Volterra competition model with seasonal succession

Published: November 2021

This paper focuses on the minimal wave speed of time-periodic traveling waves to a Lotka-Volterra competition model with seasonal succession. It is the first time the general conditions of linear selection and nonlinear selection have been derived by the comparison principle and the upper-lower solution method. Based on the decay characteristics of traveling waves, we obtain some explicit conditions for determining the selection mechanism of the minimal wave speed by constructing upper/lower solutions, which include the first explicit condition for the nonlinear selection and the explicit conditions for the linear selection that greatly improve the result in the reference.
Hydromel, bière et vin dans la Gaule préromaine
Authors: Laubenheimer Fanette
Published: November 2021

On a beaucoup parlé ces dernières années des Gaulois buveurs de vin. Il est vrai que les importations des premiers vins en Gaule ont eu un franc succès rapporté avec détails par les auteurs grecs et latins. Cependant, si les Gaulois n’ont pas écrit sur leurs habitudes en matière de boisson, ils n’en disposaient pas moins de boissons alcoolisées traditionnelles que sont l’hydromel et la bière. Ces dernières ont laissé moins de traces que les amphores vinaires et pourtant elles étaient la base de ce que consommaient princes, chefs de guerre ou commun des mortels. À travers une enquête minutieuse fondée sur les textes, les vestiges archéologiques et l’iconographie, nous tenterons de restituer la part fondamentale de ces boissons injustement méconnues dans la consommation gauloise préromaine, pour mettre en lumière leur rôle prépondérant.
Archéologie des produits de la ruche : le cas des contenants archéologiques
Authors: Frère Dominique , Corbineau Rémi
Published: November 2021

L’archéologie des produits de la ruche est un domaine scientifique qui reste encore à développer. Hormis quelques très rares cas de découvertes de rayons de ruches et de cire, les produits de la ruche ne laissent habituellement pas de traces matérielles visibles. La palynologie ainsi que la chimie biomoléculaire peuvent apporter des indices précieux mais qui sont toujours difficiles à interpréter. La concentration de pollens de telle ou telle plante indique-t-elle la présence de miel, d’hydromel ou peut-il y avoir une autre explication ? La cire d’abeille révélée par les analyses chimiques est-elle révélatrice du contenu du vase (cire, miel, hydromel), de l’imperméabilisation de ses parois internes ou de l’existence d’un bouchon ?

Published: November 2021

Dans le cadre d’une collaboration entre les programmes ANR Perhamo et MAGI d’une part et, d’autre part, la Soprintendenza archeologica del Lazio e dell’Etruria meridionale et le Museo archeolologico nazionale Cerite, ont été organisées plusieurs campagnes d’analyses biomoléculaires de contenus de céramiques et flacons en verre appartenant à plusieurs contextes funéraires de Cerveteri, de l’époque archaïque à l’époque augustéenne. Deux stratégies de prélèvements ont été adoptées. Pour la première, ce sont des aryballes et alabastres corinthiens, étrusco-corinthiens et en bucchero nero de tombes archaïques de la nécropole de Monte Abatone fouillées par la Fondation Lerici, qui ont été sélectionnés par Alessandra Coen, Fernando Gilotta et Marina Micozzi, afin de discerner les caractéristiques générales des huiles parfumées et de relever d’éventuelles différences de contenus selon les ateliers. Pour la seconde, c’est du matériel archéologique issu de fouilles récentes des nécropoles de Monte Abatone et de la Banditaccia organisées par la Soprintendenza per i Beni archeologici dell’Etruria Meridionale et dirigées par Rita Cosentino, qui a fait l’objet de prélèvements. L’étude des contenus de céramiques et verres d’époques archaïque, hellénistique et romaine, permet de cerner l’utilisation de substances biologiques dans le rituel funéraire et de comprendre la fonction des différentes catégories de conteneurs, qu’il s’agisse d’une olpé étrusco-corinthienne archaïque ou d’une olpé à vernis noir hellénistique, d’un skyphos en bucchero nero archaïque ou d’une coupelle à vernis noir hellénistique. Les différents ensembles funéraires seront présentés en détail afin de replacer les résultats d’analyses dans leurs contextes archéologiques et de proposer des interprétations qui permettent de comprendre la place des matériaux biologiques (vin, goudrons végétaux, huiles végétales et produits de la ruche) au sein des rituels funéraires.
Le anforette etrusche di età tardo-arcaica dalla necropoli esquilina (Roma): analisi del contenuto
Authors: Ambrosini Laura
Published: November 2021

Il caso studio riguarda alcune anforette etrusche tardo-arcaiche, di altezza compresa tra gli 8 e i 10 cm circa e capacità di 100 e 150 ml, riferibili al Gruppo Copenhagen ABc 1059 rinvenute a Roma nell’antica necropoli esquilina nelle tombe 3 e 12 di Piazza Vittorio scavate nel 2002 dall’allora Soprintendenza Archeologica di Roma. E’ stato possibile evidenziare due sottogruppi con caratteristiche ben distinte: il primo, di probabile produzione ceretana e tarquiniese-vulcente (anche se non si escludono altri centri di produzione minori), presenta fasce sul corpo e un’eventuale decorazione accessoria (palmetta sul collo, linguette sulla spalla, raggiera alla base); il secondo, riferibile all’ambito tarquiniese (o anche vulcente?), presenta due palmette erette sui due lati del corpo e due pendule al di sotto delle anse. La cronologia dei due sottogruppi, in base ai contesti noti, appare circoscritta alla fine del VI-inizi del V sec. a.C. Tenendo esclusivamente conto della morfologia e della metrologia del vaso, è stata avanzata l’ipotesi che le anforette fossero state utilizzate come unguentari. Destinata a personaggi femminili e deposta a diretto contatto con il corpo (lungo il fianco sinistro o presso i piedi; talora anche all’interno del loculo parietale) l’anforetta era considerata un oggetto di uso personale, piuttosto legato alle pratiche svolte nel corso della cerimonia funebre per ungere la salma o il corpo dei partecipanti. Nello studio si discutono i risultati delle indagini di gas cromatografia ad alta risoluzione con spettrometria di massa realizzate al fine di indagare il contenuto di questi piccoli vasi.

L’impact du transport sur le changement climatique ne cesse de s’intensifier, faisant des véhicules durables une étape importante pour réduire les émissions. Dans ce contexte, un grand réseau de bornes de recharge permettrait de stimuler l’adoption de la voiture électrique, mais ce réseau demeure trop limité à Bruxelles. Dans cet article, nous présentons deux méthodes complémentaires susceptibles de soutenir le déploiement d’une infrastructure de recharge. L’analyse pour la recharge opportuniste publique consiste en une approche basée sur un point d’intérêt (point of interest, POI) qui démontre que l’accessibilité de l’infrastructure de recharge tend à s’améliorer avec l’installation de bornes à proximité d’importants pôles de mobilité bruxellois. Pour la recharge résidentielle publique, des emplacements sont identifiés sur la base de modèles de localisation tenant compte des prévisions de la demande en véhicules électriques (VE). Le déploiement qui en résulte s’impose en premier lieu dans les quartiers où l’adoption escomptée de VE est forte, et s’étend ensuite de manière équilibrée sur l’ensemble du territoire de la Région. La combinaison des deux méthodes offre une solution tant aux habitants (modèles de localisation) qu’aux visiteurs et aux navetteurs (approche POI).

Deputados estaduais em tempos de competição eleitoral: trajetórias e recursos (Ceará, 1945-1964)
Authors: Barbalho Alexandre
Published: November 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os recursos mobilizados pelos deputados eleitos nas cinco disputas para a Assembleia Estadual do Ceará ocorridas no período democrático de 1945 a 1964. A hipótese é que estes agentes detinham multinotabilidade e trunfos diversificados reconvertidos na carreira política tornando-os competitivos. A pesquisa apoiou-se em dados quantitativos sobre os resultados das eleições e em base de dados biográficos utilizada na análise sociográfica da trajetória dos agentes. Concluiu-se que o sucesso dos agentes analisados não se deveu ao fato de deterem multiposicionalidade e multinotabilidade mas devido a recursos comuns à lógica da reprodução direta, ou seja, os econômicos, políticos e sociais herdados da família.
Mobilização Política da Justiça: Movimentos Sociais e Instituições Judiciais no combate à violência contra a mulher
Authors: Elias de Oliveira Vanessa , Stuchi Carolina Gabas , Da Silva Alessandra Pereira
Published: November 2021

O presente trabalho procura contribuir com os estudos sobre a mobilização das instituições judiciais por movimentos sociais, olhando especificamente para os movimentos de combate à violência contra a mulher. Propõe-se o conceito de mobilização política da justiça, uma estratégia específica do “repertório de interação” que nos permite olhar para um complexo conjunto de interações entre os movimentos sociais e as instituições judiciais. A partir da análise exploratória de relatos de mulheres integrantes de movimentos sociais, de documentos por elas referenciados e de observação participante, a mobilização social é apresentada em três momentos distintos: inicialmente, por meio da “luta pelo direito”, no acionamento das instituições judiciais e na luta política em torno dos limites das decisões judiciais anteriores à Lei Maria da Penha e Lei do Feminicídio; depois, por meio da “garantia do direito”, com a aprovação das legislações pertinentes; por fim, pela a “mobilização política da justiça”, com a formação de agentes e a articulação em rede, tendo como efeito tanto as ações dos atores do sistema de justiça na garantia da aplicação da legislação quanto algumas mudanças institucionais das próprias instituições judiciais que atuam no combate à violência contra a mulher.
Clandestinas: aborto e direitos reprodutivos sob uma perspectiva feminista dos Direitos Humanos
Authors: Santos Almeida Miléia
Published: November 2021

O presente artigo realiza uma análise do processo de luta pela legalização do aborto no Brasil, enquanto instrumento para assegurar a autonomia das mulheres e positivação dos direitos reprodutivos no campo dos direitos humanos, a partir de uma perspectiva feminista presente em materiais de comunicação de alguns movimentos de mulheres, mais especificamente, a Marcha Mundial de Mulheres. Os tratados internacionais que orientaram a consolidação desses debates, auxiliaram na constituição histórica de direitos que foram ameaçados diante da ascensão de setores neoconservadores na política. Na resistência a um direito patriarcal que criminaliza e condena à morte milhares de mulheres todos os anos no Brasil, a práxis feminista de alguns movimentos populares assume papel de protagonismo na disputa política e afirmação do direito ao corpo como fundamental para garantia da dignidade humana das mulheres.
TOWARDS INTEGRATION OF THE FINITE ELEMENT MODELING TECHNIQUE INTO BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING EDUCATION
Authors: Mihçin Şenay , Ciklacandir Samet
Published: November 2021

Biomedical engineering (BME) is a multidisciplinary field, resulting in a heavy course load from different fields. We hypothesize that the engineering curriculum be tailored according to the requirements of the BME profession. In this study, we focus on the teaching of the finite element modeling (FEM) technique by redesigning the course to address the needs of the BME profession by some custom-made changes to meet the unmet needs. After the completion of the course, evaluation methods of the students were analyzed and detailed over a survey providing feedback from the students. The surveys were related to the teaching the theory of FEM, the laboratory sessions, and the project sessions. The survey results were evaluated using statistical methods. The Pearson correlation coefficient showed a linear agreement between theoretical and practical sessions indicating efficient blending of skills because of the custom-made changes. The survey analysis showed that the students were in favour of the changes, allowing them to be more resourceful and confident with their skills. The positive results indicate a positive attitude among the students towards their profession. As the course design addresses the needs of the profession allowing students to fit in better, the students might follow their own profession after graduation. A wider follow-up study might be planned next to compare the results between who received tailor-designed courses and those who did not.
A Metaphoric Design of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for Periodic Health Examination Reports
Authors: Alamer Sharifah Ahmed , Ilyas Qazi Mudassar , Ahmad Muneer , Irfan Danish
Published: November 2021

The exponential growth of big data demands an efficient knowledge discovery. The electronic medical records of patients on medical data Clouds contain implicit medical information. Although the periodic health examination (PHE) reports describing a set of screening tests for healthy individuals performed periodically, common individuals require the assistance of an expert to interpret the results for a medical opinion. This research study proposes a metaphoric design of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for PHE reports of patients. The outcomes of this study glimpses useful findings for the common people in the self-interpretation of their medical reports. Besides, among a variety of solutions, the study uses the metaphoric representation to convert the numerical data and medical terminology to familiar graphic representations from real life. The study identifies the detailed requirements to propose a conceptual architecture for metaphoric EMR reports. The future work will result in a prototype design, evaluation, and refinement of metaphors based on stakeholders' feedback.
A New Distance Measure to Rank Type-2 Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and Its Application to Multi-Criteria Group Decision Making
Authors: Anusha V.  , Sireesha V.
Published: November 2021

The type 2 intuitionistic fuzzy sets (T2IFS) have a greater expressive power in representing the uncertainty involved in the information given by the experts. A very few ranking methods have been proposed to compare the T2IFS based on distance measure. This paper proposes a new distance measure called Jaccard distance for type 2 intuitionistic fuzzy set. This method ranks the T2IFS based on the dissimilarity of the given T2IFS to the ideal set. The properties of distance measure have been proved. The efficiency of proposed method is validate by comparing with existing methods. It is observed that the proposed ranking can rank the T2IFS more effectively when compared to existing methods in some tested contexts. The proposed ranking method is applied in solving a multi criteria group decision making method and the results are analyzed. From the analysis it is observed that the ordering the alternatives using proposed method agrees with the human intuition.
A Novel Intuitionistic Fuzzy Correlation Algorithm and Its Applications in Pattern Recognition and Student Admission Process
Authors: Ejegwa Paul Augustine , Onyeke Idoko Charles
Published: November 2021

Many computing methods have been studied in intuitionistic fuzzy environment to enhance the resourcefulness of intuitionistic fuzzy sets in modelling real-life problems, among which, correlation coefficient is prominent. This paper proposes a new intuitionistic fuzzy correlation algorithm via intuitionistic fuzzy deviation, variance and covariance by taking into account the complete parameters of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. This new computing technique does not only evaluates the strength of relationship between the intuitionistic fuzzy sets but also indicates whether the intuitionistic fuzzy sets have either positive or negative linear relationship. The proposed technique is substantiated with some theoretical results, and numerically validated to be superior in terms of performance index in contrast to some hitherto methods. Multi-criteria decision-making processes involving pattern recognition and students’ admission process are determined with the aid of the proposed intuitionistic fuzzy correlation algorithm coded with JAVA programming language.
Application of Representation Learning-Based Chronological Modeling for Network Intrusion Detection
Authors: Mathur Nitin O. , Li Chengcheng , Gonen Bilal , Lee Kijung
Published: November 2021

An autoencoder has the potential to overcome the limitations of current intrusion detection methods by recognizing benign user activity rather than differentiating between benign and malicious activity. However, the line separating them is quite blurry with a significant overlap. The first part of this study aims to investigate the rationale behind this overlap. The results suggest that although a subset of traffic cannot be separated without labels, timestamps have the potential to be leveraged for identification of activity that does not conform to the normal or expected behavior of the network. The second part aims to eliminate dependence on visual-inspections by exploring automation. The trend of errors for HTTP traffic was modeled chronologically using resampled data and moving averages. This model successfully identified attacks that had orchestrated over HTTP within their respective time slots. These results support the hypothesis that it is technically feasible to build an anomaly-based intrusion detection system where each individual observation need not be categorized.
Infrastructure Cyber-Attack Awareness Training
Authors: White Garry L.
Published: November 2021

The purpose of this study is to provide insight as to how infrastructure countermeasures awareness training will impact individuals dealing with a nationwide catastrophic cyber-attack. Can this awareness training lessen the psychological effect of an attack? This study showed no value for this type of training. Reading about such an attack, the subjects had lower technical optimism and cyber self-efficacy. Reading about infrastructure countermeasures, before or after reading about a cyber-attack, did not improve or maintain the subjects' optimism and self-efficacy. A possible explanation is that emotional arousal may override or block rational thinking. Another explanation may be that a nationwide attack is towards the infrastructure and not the personal computer. Here the individual lacks any control. Future research needs to look at personal preparation and response training to see if it will help the psychological effects of a catastrophic cyber-attack.
COVID-19 Innovation Approach to Support Wellbeing, Anxiety, and Depression Through Gaming Technologies
Authors: Costello Robert
Published: November 2021

With this current Covid-19 pandemic, colleges and Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) must focus on applying educational experiences that are enriching, joyful, rewarding, and engaging. With such dynamic changes to the education systems due to the Covid-19 pandemic, gaming technologies have played an essential part in improving retention, engagement, motivation, and wellbeing. The needs of students are ever-changing within the pandemic, and institutions need to focus on wellbeing, anxiety, and depression. Current evidence does support that institutions have seen an increase of students seeking support from specialist teams for anxiety, depression, and wellbeing issues. The preliminary study used within this research is used to discover if gaming approaches can assist individuals/students who are experiencing distress within the Covid-19 pandemic. The research finding within the preliminary analysis studies does show that the use of a Game Jam provided students a chance to interact with others, assist with aspects of engaging in activities outside the everyday routines.

Consumer-deviant behavior costs global utility firms USD 96 billion yearly, attributable to Non-Technical Losses (NTLs). NTLs affect the operations of power systems by overloading lines and transformers, resulting in voltage imbalances and, thereby, impacting services. They also impact the electricity price paid by the honest customers. Traditional meters constitute 98 % of the total electricity meters in India. This paper argues that while traditional meters have their limitation in checking consumer-deviant behavior, this issue can be resolved with ML-based algorithms. These algorithms can predict suspected cases of theft with reasonable certainty, thereby enabling distribution companies to save money and provide consistent and dependable services to honest customers at reasonable costs. The key learning from this paper is that even if data is noisy, it is possible to create a Machine Learning Model to detect NTL with 80 percentage plus accuracy.

The effect of fairy shrimp “branchoneta” as the first exogenous feed for tambaqui postlarvae was evaluated. A hundred and eighty larvae were distributed in 12 aquariums, containing 1.5L of water and the stocking density was 10 larvae per liter. The trials lasted for 20 days and postlarvae were submitted to three diets (T1: Commercial feed, T2: branchoneta, and T3: Commercial feed with branchoneta), with a completely randomized design with four replicates for each treatment. During the trials, the water quality parameters were kept within ideal conditions for the species. The tambaqui postlarvae submitted to T2 and T3 showed better survival rates respectively.  Regarding the postlarval development, larvae fed with only branchoneta had a better final weight (3.48 mg), daily weight gain (0.14 mg day-1), and the best specific growth rate (8.62%). The results also showed that the tambaqui postlarvae fed with only commercial feed developed less efficiently due to lower rates of survival and growth. The present study indicates that the branchoneta promoted greater development and survival rates of the tambaqui postlarvae and therefore, it presents good potential as a live food for the species.

The objective was to identify the level of knowledge of animal protein consumers about the welfare of production animals, in Belém city, Pará State, Brazil. The survey was carried out in two supermarkets, using 401 structured questionnaires, with 10 closed questions, with a “Yes” or “No” answer, taking into consideration, for the formation of a socioeconomic profile, questions related to gender, age group, educational level and family income of the interviewees. Most consumers of animal protein from the municipality of Belém, Pará State, Brazil, recognize that these products are part of their daily diet, however, the interviewees have no knowledge about the topic, and are not willing to pay more for the product with a seal of quality, as well as showing no interest or concern with the way animals are reared or slaughtered. The age group of consumers influences the level of knowledge about the welfare of production animals, observing that consumers aged 40 to 50 years have more knowledge on the subject. Education was a decisive factor in determining the level of knowledge of animal protein consumers about the welfare of production animals, as consumers from high school had more knowledge about the subject.

Osteosarcoma is the most commonly diagnosed malignant bone tumor in humans, with a higher incidence in children and young people. It is highly aggressive and has a high metastatic potential. Its treatment is based on both chemotherapy and surgical intervention. However, currently used chemotherapeutic agents, such as doxorubicin, have several adverse effects on the patient. Therefore, there is a growing demand for new chemotherapeutic agents that stimulate new researches, such as those involving compounds extracted from plants, such as the gabirobeira. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of ethanolic extract, both crude and ethyl acetate, of gabirobeira leaves on osteosarcoma cells in vitro. Cytotoxicity was evaluated using the Trypan blue exclusion method and the IC50 values were calculated using the tetrazolium reduction method. The ethanolic extract of gabirobeira leaves showed a cytotoxic effect on osteosarcoma cells in vitro. The group treated with the crude extract at 1. 0μL mL-1 concentration for 48 hours showed higher cytotoxicity and the lowest IC50 value for this extract was found in the 24 to 48 hours interval. The ethanolic extract of gabirobeira leaves is cytotoxic for osteosarcoma cells.

This study aimed to know the daily variation of Astyanax lacustris (Lütken 1875) feeding in a lotic environment. Fish were caught with a net for three days every three hours in the summer to capture ten individuals per hour in a stretch of the Ijuí River, Middle Uruguay River, Brazil. The captured specimens had their stomachs removed and the content analyzed and separated into seven food categories with the aid of stereomicroscope. For the analysis of food items were used the frequency of occurrence methods, volumetric method and applied the Alimentary Index (IAi). Two hundred stomachs were analyzed, of which 95% had food content. The most abundant items were algae and autochthonous insects. Astyanax lacustris feeds throughout the day especially early in the morning (9 hours) and reduces its feeding at night (24 hours and 3 hours). It was also verified variation of AI of different food items throughout the day. It is concluded that A. lacustris feeds throughout the day, especially in the daytime and that throughout the 24 hours it varies its diet due to photoperiod and food availability.
O Direito Civil em ‘Rosaura, a enjeitada’ de Bernardo Guimarães: “[...] problema eterno e insolúvel [...]”

Published: November 2021

O objetivo central deste artigo é compreender como Bernardo Guimarães, na obra ‘Rosaura, a enjeitada’, apresentou aspectos do Direito Civil no Brasil do século XIX. Para tanto levaremos em conta a trama dos personagens e a formação jurídica do autor, na Faculdade de Direito de São Paulo. Neste sentido, indagamos: Por que o Direito Civil é tramado como ‘um problema eterno e insolúvel’ em relação à escravidão do século XIX no Brasil? Como o autor apresenta seus argumentos para defender tal tese? A problemática central circunscreve em torno do entendimento de que os estudantes ocupavam um lugar social que possibilitava a produção de diversos escritos (memórias, teses, jornais acadêmicos, romances, poesias, entre outros), que versavam sobre temas pertencentes ao Brasil imperial, especialmente a escravidão. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, operamos como metodologia de pesquisa histórica de análise da obra literária interrogando e problematizando o documento. Neste artigo, para mobilizar o objeto recorremos ao conceito de repertório, nos termos de Alonso (2002). Esse conceito serviu como uma lupa para a análise da obra em foco. Por fim, evidenciamos que o literato usou do artifício da escrava nascida livre para tratar da escravidão e do Direito Civil, mostrando como a personagem ‘Rosaura’, vítima do sistema escravista, poderia ser restituída ao lugar de livre, das mazelas da escravidão que sofrera desde o nascimento. O autor mobilizou repertórios de cultura jurídica adquiridos no lócus intelectual da Faculdade de Direito de São Paulo. Assim, dentro de uma análise geral da narrativa, as expressões do direito aparecem como elementos sociais e jurídicos, usados não apenas como uma mera elucidação. Certamente, havia seletividade e intencionalidade para noticiar os conteúdos das leis no Brasil.
