"In the absence of earthquakes, seismic stations continuously record the Earth's vibrations, called ambient seismic noise (ASN). The main concern regarding the ASN records is improving the seismic data quality using different tools developed especially for this purpose. Power Spectral Densities (PSD) and their corresponding Probability Density Functions (PDF) are tools used to evaluate the station performance and reveal the noise level at the station’s site. For high frequencies (>1 Hz), the noise sources are from cultural activities and show diurnal variation, while for low frequencies (<1 Hz), the noise is generated by natural sources and shows seasonal variation. In this study, we analyzed the vertical components of the Bucovina array seismic network (BURAR) to characterize the noise levels at the stations and investigate noise variations in space and time. We computed four-year spectrograms for some elements of the array that revealed an increase of ASN in the 2–5 Hz frequency range during the warmer seasons, contrary to the colder months. On the other hand, at lower frequencies (0.5–1 Hz), the power of seismic noise increases during the year’s colder months. We examined the relationship between noise levels and weather parameters (e.g., wind speed) for the station where the seismic sensor is collocated, with a weather station. We observed that an increase in wind speed leads to an increase in the noise level at high frequencies (> 2 Hz)."

Getting started typesetting with CaSSius
Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: October 2023

Over the past week I’ve done some of the initial development work on CaSSius, the portion of the typesetter for the Open Library of Humanities that produces PDF output. The idea here is that, as a publisher, you want to produce one document and then create HTML and PDF from that single source. CaSSius provides two ways to achieve this.
Flipping journals to OA while supporting existing OA publications

How much does “typesetting” cost?
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

We as a community often ask ourselves how much it should cost to publish an open-access paper. (We know how much it  does  cost, roughly: typically $3000 with a legacy publisher, or an average of $900 with a born-open publisher, or nothing at all for many journals.) We know that peer-review is essentially free to publishers, being donated free by scholars. We know that most handling editors also work for free or for peanuts.

A look at the development of the treasury
Authors: Stojanović Predrag
Published: October 2023

In this paper, the author aims at providing a comparative and historical view of the issue of the development of the treasury institute as one of the supporting pillars of the public finance system. To that end, a review of the genesis of this institution in the most significant comparative systems and the domestic legal area is presented. Treasury business does not mean exclusively executing orders from the Central Bank, but it is necessary to differentiate as many functions as the budget execution process requires. Traditional vaults had predominantly a cashiering and control function, so that, later on, the banking function, which implies the independence or great autonomy of the vault, would became significantly more visible. In contemporary conditions, we can see it as a parabanking institution.

In recent years, there has been increasing interest regarding the use of supplements as adjuvant therapy in treatment of various psychiatric disorders. Supplements are seen as a complement to traditional pharmacotherapeutic and psychotherapeutic approaches, providing a more personalized approach to treatment. There is a large body of research that has investigated their potential impact on various biological processes, such as neurogenesis, neuro progression, oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction and others. Although evidence of effectiveness of supplements in treating psychiatric disorders is still evolving, there is a growing number of scientific studies that support their potential benefits. The integrative modern therapeutic approach increasingly includes the use of supplements as adjuvant therapy, considering the complexity of clinical presentation of disorder. This article will present the interest in the use of supplements in the treatment of bipolar disorder, as well as potential benefits. Evidence (or lack thereof) regarding the most significant and most researched supplements will also be provided, along with the perspective and role of supplements in bipolar disorder.

Together with library to professional and scientific manuscript
Authors: Bogojević Tatjana , Kermeci Daniela
Published: October 2023

The paper presents challenges and issues of writing a professional or scientific paper, the ways to overcome them, as well as the basic techniques of academic writing and the support offered by libraries with writing any publication (searching, topic formulation, reference management tools). The idea for this paper arose after an accredited seminar titled "From Library to a Scientific Manuscript", intended for librarians and anyone else starting to write or already engaged in research work. Based on the ideas received during the seminar and after it, the authors decided to draw attention, in abbreviated form, to the fact that writing a professional paper does not require talent but the study of academic writing techniques, experience, and a lot of effort. Scattered paragraphs and random sentences should be organized into an appropriate form of a paper - an easy-to-read text rich in information. Any paper (professional or scientific) requires serious preparation, a good plan, precision, and a sense of organization.
Trypsin inhibitor activity in grass pea seeds (Lathyrus sativus L.)
Authors: Nagl Nevena , Sinkovič Lovro , Savić Aleksandra , Isakov Milada , Hasanaklou Hourieh , Pipan Barbara , Marjanović-Jeromela Ana
Published: October 2023

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is a valuable grain legume known for its high protein content and rich essential amino acid profile. Its exceptional characteristics such as drought tolerance, high adaptability to extreme conditions, disease resistance, and low cultivation inputs, make it particularly suitable for cultivation by resource-poor farmers. However, the potential use of grass pea is limited due to the presence of anti-nutritional factors, including protease inhibitors, especially trypsin inhibitor. This study aimed to develop a rapid and reliable method for measuring TI activity in seeds of grass pea and to investigate the influence of genotype and environment on trypsin inhibitor (TI) activity in seeds of grass pea. A set of 25 grass pea accessions from seven European countries was cultivated in Slovenia at the Agricultural Institute of Slovenia, and a set of 12 grass pea accessions from the Serbian gene bank was grown in Serbia at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops. The TI activity varied considerably among the grass pea accessions studied, with values ranging from 26.7 to 90.3 TUI/mg. To further evaluate the effects of environmental conditions on TI activity, eight grass pea accessions originating from Serbia were grown in both Slovenia and Serbia. The TI activity of the accessions grown in Slovenia ranged from 26.7 to 81.0 TUI/mg, while the activity of the accessions grown in Serbia ranged from 40.3 to 57.0 TUI/mg. The correlation of TI activity between grass pea accessions grown in Slovenia and those grown in Serbia was 0.39, with genotype diversity being the largest contributor (55.9%). This study provides a valuable insight into the variability of TI activity in grass pea and shows the possible influence of environmental conditions on this trait. However, since the data are only from a one-year field trial, further studies are needed to fully evaluate the influence of different environmental factors on TI activity.
Nós e os Outros: ensaio sobre o conflito e a cooperação e suas influências sobre os padrões de interação humanos-natureza
Authors: Martins Andreza
Published: October 2023

Este artigo está inserido na problemática mais geral das relações entre natureza e cultura e tem como tema de análise o binômio relacional conflito e cooperação e suas interfaces com as histórias das ideias e da organização social nas sociedades ocidentais. O propósito é refletir sobre como as diferentes formas de interação estabelecidas entre os humanos ao longo da história influenciaram os padrões de relação entre humanos e natureza. Padrões que, por sua vez, deram origem aos modos de vida reconhecidos hoje por nós como aqueles das sociedades pré-modernas e modernas. Para evidenciar essa afirmação, comparam-se alguns aspectos centrais da evolução do pensamento científico e filosófico de ambas as sociedades, a partir de três eixos gerais que as definem e distinguem: I) as cosmogonias e cosmologias; II) as materialidades engendradas nos padrões de interações humanos-natureza e; III) os padrões de racionalidade preponderantes. Em tempos atuais, a despeito do acirramento de conflitos entre nações e da revitalização de movimentos de extrema-direita, ou talvez também por isso, nota-se uma tendência à equalização dos princípios da competição e da cooperação nos campos das ideias, valores e projetos futuros civilizatórios, o que nos coloca num processo de reorganização das estratégias de ação para se adequarem a essas inflexões, gerando resultados ainda imprevistos.

Published: October 2023

Every foundation or educational institution certainly has efforts to maintain its existence amidst competition from educational institutions that continue to innovate to attract public interest in an educational institution . The results of good and appropriate promotion can be seen from the development of student admissions each year. To carry out promotions, of course you have to pay attention to things such as the type of school, travel time, number of computer science enthusiasts. Apart from that, determining promotional targets to get good, effective and efficient results. So a decision-making system is needed that is able to assist in the analysis of determining promotional targets at STMIK Kaputama. With the existence of a decision support system and based on STMIK Kaputama promotion target criteria, we are able to get the right promotion target results for the advancement of STMIK Kaputama development and realizing the vision and mission for the future, apart from that, so that prospective STMIK Kaputama students increase, because of the right promotion targets . To make decisions effective and efficient, this decision making system was built using the Promethee method , which is one of the decision making methods used to obtain a problem solution. Promethee is used to determine and produce decisions from several alternatives. From the results of the research conducted, it was found that the Promethee method was able to produce the best concise decisions.

La Junta de Portavoces como órgano parlamentario
Authors: Sanz Pérez Ángel L.
Published: October 2023

La Junta de Portavoces es un órgano parlamentario cuya naturaleza como tal órgano parlamentario está hoy fuera de toda discusión. A pesar de que no está reconocido en el texto constitucional español, la Junta de Portavoces es un órgano generalizado en los Reglamentos parlamentarios españoles del Congreso de los Diputados, del Senado y de los Parlamentos autonómicos. En este sentido, es un órgano regulado en todos los Reglamentos Parlamentarios de los Estados europeos continentales, mientras que en los países anglosajones los desconocen. En España, su participación suele ser vital para regular varias cuestiones muy importantes en la organización de la Cámara, como la fijación del orden del día y la aprobación de Resoluciones interpretativas. Además, hay una gran cantidad de asuntos que requieren la audiencia de la Junta e incluso que precisan de su consentimiento. Finalmente, se analizan varias cuestiones relativas al funcionamiento de la Junta de Portavoces, sobre todo el uso del voto ponderado para la adopción de decisiones.
El Tribunal Constitucional ante las reformas estatutarias
Authors: Fernández Farreres Germán
Published: October 2023

Las reformas de algunos Estatutos de Autonomía —de manera destacada, la del Estatuto de Cataluña, dado su contenido y alcance— han provocado el despliegue de todo tipo de recursos ante el Tribunal Constitucional. El análisis de la forma y manera en que se han planteado y cómo ha sido afrontada su tramitación y enjuiciamiento, evidencia que la entidad del problema ha resultado ser muy superior a la capacidad del actual Tribunal para solventarlo con rigor y prontitud. Tanto es asíque, con independencia ya de cómo se resuelvan los recursos aún pendientes, no debería posponerse la adopción de todas aquellas medidas necesarias para corregir el deterioro y la grave crisis en la que, con ocasión de esas reformas estatutarias, definitivamente ha quedado inmerso el sistema de justicia constitucional.

A la luz de la regulación del fenómeno de la violencia de género en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico surge la necesidad de estudiar y analizar el papel de la acusación popular en este tipo de procedimientos. Más aún cuando las distintas Comunidades Autónomas, y en especial la de Madrid, han habilitado, dentro de su legislación específica sobre la materia, la personación de la Administración autonómica como acusación popular en los procedimientos que se sigan en el territorio de la Comunidad por delitos comprendidos en el ámbito de la violencia sobre la mujer, en un legítimo fin de actuar contra esta lacra de nuestra sociedad actual, si bien mediante una técnica legislativa que ha sido objeto de crítica generalizada por parte de la doctrina científica, y que debe ser contrastada a la luz de la jurisprudencia constitucional vigente sobre el ejercicio de la acción popular en el ordenamiento jurídico español.

De la sesión constitutiva y de la Mesa de edad: el inicio del Parlamento en el Derecho parlamentario español
Authors: Sanz Pérez Ángel L.
Published: October 2023

Cuando el recurso del artículo 70.2 CE atribuye al poder judicial el control de las actas y credenciales parlamentarias impide que las Cámaras tengan la competencia para ejercer este control. Las Cámaras se constituyen una sola vez; no hay dos constituciones del Parlamento en el Derecho parlamentario español. Ni siquiera es así en el Senado ni en el Parlamento vasco, donde se prevé la actuación previa de su Junta preparatoria y de la Diputación Permanente, respectivamente. La constitución de las Cámaras supone que se prevea siempre en Derecho parlamentario español la posibilidad de que procedan a una nueva elección de las Mesas, si como consecuencia de los fallos judiciales se produce una alteración en la titularidad de los escaños superior a un determinado porcentaje, que es generalmente del diez por ciento. Además, en caso de que se produzca este cambio de titularidad en los escaños, lo más probable es que debiera arbitrarse algún procedimiento de cuestión de confianza, si la Cámara (con su composición anterior) hubiese dado su confianza a un candidato.

Evaluation of Supplemented Various Levels of Cactus (Aloe vera) Leaf Powder and Gel on Production Performance and some Carcass Characteristics of Broilers
Authors: Abbas Rabia , Sukkar Shaker
Published: October 2023

This study aimed to investigate the effects of Cactus (Aloe vera) leaf powder and gel on the productive performance and some characteristics of broiler carcasses. A total of 288 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross -308) were randomly distributed among eight treatments, three replicates, and 12 birds per each replicate according to the complete random design (CRD). The first treatments were fed a basal diet (BD) and considered as a control treatment. The second treatment was fed BD supplemented with Neomycin as an antibiotic at 0.5 g/kg. Third, fourth, and fifth treatments were fed BD supplemented with Aloe vera powder at 5, 15, and 30 g/kg. Aloe vera gel at levels 5, 15, and 30 (ml/l) was administrated in drinking water to treatments sixth, seventh, and eighth respectively. Results indicated a significant improvement (P≤0.05) in final body weight (except T2 and T6) and total weight gain (except T6) for all supplemented treatments comparison to control. There was a significant decrease (p≤0.05) in total feed intake for all supplemented treatments as compared to the control, while there was a significant improvement in total feed conversion ratio in all supplemented treatments compared to the control. A significant increase (p≤0.05) in total water consumption in the T3, T4, T5 and T8 treatments as compared to control, and T2, T6, and T7, as well, a significant increase in the ratio of water consumption to feed for all supplemented treatments as compared with control. A significant increase (p≤0.05) in carcass weight and dressing percentage for all supplemented treatments except T2 and T6 as compared with the control. The performance index, production index, and protein efficiency ratio significantly were better than the control. In conclusion, Aloe vera leaf powder (5, 15, 30 g/kg) to broiler diets and leaf jell in drinking water (15 and 30 ml/l), could be used to improve production performance, carcass traits, performance index, production index, and protein efficiency ratio. The study also confirms that supplemented with 5 (g /kg) of Aloe vera leaf powder and 15-30 (ml /liter) of gel could be a successful alternative to the antibiotic Neomycin (0.5 g/ kg) in broiler diets.
Role of Green Nanotechnology to Manage the Agricultural and Food Waste via Advanced Anaerobic Digestion Technology

Published: October 2023

Energy crisis and environmental pollution are serious problems of sustainable development in the world. The problem is acute in developing economies like India, where there is significant pressure on available natural sources of energy. One of effective approaches to solve these energy problems is developing biomass energy such as biogas and biofuel. Biogas production is a well-established conversion technology i.e., anaerobic digestion, to obtain energy from biomass that is alternative to fossil fuel. Nanotechnology can contribute to the improvement of biogas production through the use of nanocatalysts. These catalysts can enhance bioconversion strategies, facilitate better breakdown of substrates, and optimize output delivery. Generally, nanoparticles can be prepared through a variety of chemical and physical methods, some of which can be expensive and potentially hazardous to the environment. These methods often involve the use of toxic chemicals that pose various biological risks. This may be the reason for the increasing interest in the biosynthesis of nanoparticles through a green route, which avoids the use of toxic chemicals. Such environment friendly processes are gaining momentum. Therefore, in this article, the green synthesized plant derived various metal nanoparticles which can be used for enhancement of biogas production from cattle dung, will be discussed.

Twenty eight F1 hybrids developed from a diallel set involving eight parents (excluding reciprocals) in bottle gourd were evaluated at Horticulture complex, Department of Horticulture JNKVV. Jabalpur (MP). The study was aimed to estimate heterosis for yield and yield contributing traits in bottle gourd. Analysis of variance revealed the presence of considerable variability among parents and hybrids for all the characters under study. Heterosis for fruit yield per vine ranged from -1.27 to 17.33 % over mid parent and 0.61 to -22.74% over better parent. For number of fruits per plant and average fruit weight was ranged from 0.25 to -25.30% and 1.37 to 46.67% over mid parent and -0.17 to -33.44% and 0.00 to 41.94% over better parent, respectively. Regarding fruit length the heterosis ranged from 0.64 to 16.50 over mid parent while heterosis over better parent ranged from -0.51 to -22.85. Heterosis for days to first fruit harvest ranged from 0.00 to -12.02 and 0.00 to -14.51 over mid parent and better parent, respectively. It was important to note that only two F1 hybrids viz. Arka Bahar x Kashi Ganga and Arka Bahar x Pusa Naveen exhibited higher positive and significant values over better parent. While, crosses Arka Bahar x Narendra Dharidar, Kashi Ganga x Narendra Dharidar, Pusa Santushti x PSPL and Arka Bahar x Samrat showed significant negative heterosis over better parent for earliness.
Effect of various doses of Gamma Irradiation on the Nutrient composition of Mahua (Madhuca indica) Flower Stored at Ambient Temperature

Published: October 2023

Mahua flower is an important non-timber forest produce and has a great importance in tribal communities. It is frequently under appreciated due to poor quality brought on by poor storage procedures. Hence, the present study was conducted to assess the effect of various doses of gamma irradiation (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.0 kGy) on nutrient composition of dried mahua flowers stored at ambient temperature. Exposure of mahua flowers to irradiation improved the storability and preserved its nutritional value even after a year of storage. Nutrient composition of the flowers remained almost similar after 1 year storage with 0.25 kGy and 0.50 kGy doses of irradiation, while an increase in moisture and protein, decrease in ash and crude fiber content was observed in dried mahua flowers treated with gamma radiation doses of 0.75 and 1.0kGy. Among the bioactive compounds the phenol content was maintained at the same level with 0.25 kGy dose and the total flavonoid content was observed to be enhanced with all the four doses of irradiation. However, the antioxidant and carotenoid content of the flowers were found to be negatively affected by irradiation. The initial antioxidant content (1076.11 µg/100g) was reduced to 54.30 µg/100g after one year of storage. It can be inferred that modest doses of gamma irradiation (0.25 kGy and 0.50 kGy) might enhance the storability and retain quality attributes of dried mahua flowers and can be employed as an effective postharvest management approach for preserving and prolonging the shelf life of mahua flowers.

Genomic data has enabled the rapid growth of the U.S. bioeconomy and
is valuable to the individual, industry, and government because it has multiple
intrinsic properties that in combination make it different from other types of high
value data which possess only a subset of these properties. The characteristics of
genomic data compared to other high value datasets raises some correspondingly
unique cybersecurity and privacy concerns that are inadequately addressed with
current policies, guidance documents, and technical controls. This report describes
current practices in risk management, cybersecurity, and privacy management for
protecting genomic data along with relevant challenges and concerns. Gaps in
protection practices across the lifecycle were identified concerning genomic data
generation; safe and responsible sharing of the genomic data; monitoring the systems
processing genomic data; lack of specific guidance documents addressing the unique
needs of genomic data processors; and regulatory/policy gaps with respect to
national security and privacy threats in the collection, storage, sharing, and
aggregation of human genomic data. The report proposes a set of solution ideas that
address real-life use cases occurring at various stages of the genomic data
lifecycle along with candidate mitigation strategies and the expected benefits of
the solutions. Additionally, areas needing regulatory/policy enactment or further
research are highlighted.

SMP IM Sumber Terang is a junior high school level school that was established in 2020 in Bolo Village, Ujungpangkah District, Gresik Regency. This school, which has been in existence for two years, has a total of 13 compulsory and mulok subject teachers. The problems we found at this school were (1) many of the teachers who taught there did not have a teacher education background, (2) most of them had never attended training on making learning tools for teachers, and (3) documentation of learning tools at school in the end it could not be done properly. It was these problems that motivated us to do community service there as part of our efforts from the Teaching and Education Faculty to carry out our dharma. In our efforts to work with IM Sumber Terang Middle School as a FKIP UQ target school, our first step was to carry out several stages of training. The first stage this time was training and assistance in making learning tools with the title Development of Learning Tools for Teachers of SMPIM Sumber Terang Bolo, Ujungpangkah, Gresik. Within the past 2 months our program has been there from the needs survey stage, preparation, training, mentoring, and reporting.
The diet of European Shag Phalacrocorax aristotelis, Black-legged Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla and Common Guillemot Uria aalge on Canna during the chick-rearing period 1981–2007

Published: October 2023

Chick diet of European Shags Phalacrocorax aristotelis, Black-legged Kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla and Common Guillemots Uria aalge at Canna was investigated over a 27- year period. The diet was mainly composed of Sprats Sprattus sprattus, Lesser Sandeels Ammodytes marinus and members of the Gadidae (a variety of species but mainly Trisopterus spp. and Whiting Merlangius merlangus). Other groups (ten families of fish, crustaceans, cephalopod molluscs and polychaete worms) were of minimal importance. Lesser Sandeels dominated the diet of young Black-legged Kittiwakes and European Shags, Sprats the diet of young Common Guillemots, whereas gadid otoliths were by far the commonest items found in pellets regurgitated by older European Shags. There were few significant temporal changes in species composition or the size of prey taken over the 27 years and the results confirm earlier findings that gadids are a normal and important part of the diet of seabirds at this colony.

The aim of the study was to describe Yellow-legged Gull Larus michahellis chick diet in the southeast Bay of Biscay. Sampling was carried out in three colonies (Ulía, Santa Clara, Guetaria) in Gipuzkoa, northern Iberia, during the breeding seasons of 2007 and 2008. Regurgitates (n = 70) were collected from chicks of c. 20 days old when they were ringed. Overall, 79 prey items were found, and each item was weighed and classified into one of the following prey-groups: marine (fish (Pisces), crab (Brachyura)), refuse tips (pork, beef, rabbit, chicken), terrestrial (earthworms (Lumbricinae), molluscs (Mollusca), insects (Insecta)), others (mainly vegetables or unidentified prey). The proportion of each prey-group did not differ from one year to the next and most prey was of marine origin (59.5%; all fish except for one crab), followed by refuse tips (22.8%), terrestrial (13.9%), and others (3.8%). These findings concur with those at colonies in northwest Iberia, and while local exceptions might occur, Yellow-legged Gull chick diet in northern Iberia is predominantly marine fish.
Spring arrival of adult Lesser Black-backed Gulls Larus fuscus nesting in Guernsey, Sark and Herm, Channel Islands
Authors: Veron P
Published: October 2023

Lesser Black-backed Gulls Larus fuscus nest in all the Channel Islands, with strongholds in Alderney and Sark. Breeding numbers in the islands (c. 1,730 pairs) appear presently stable, and the whole population is believed to leave the islands in winter. A colour-ringing programme began in 2008 and the timing and pattern of arrival for 125 colour-ringed adults, believed to be local breeders, was recorded at a landfill site on Guernsey from 1 January to 8 May 2010. Birds arrived back from 15 January to 1 May. Arrivals were slow initially, with only 6% back by mid February and 22% by the end of February. Peak arrival was from 27 February to 10 March, when 34% of birds were first recorded, and by the end of March 82% of birds had returned. Males did not arrive earlier than females. Five birds left the Channel Islands again soon after arriving, although all returned within a few days or weeks. Winter 2009/10 was unusually long and cold in the Channel Islands, and most of Western Europe, and further study should ascertain whether the arrival pattern of Lesser Black-backed Gulls in spring 2010 was affected by the harsher than average winter weather.
Mystery spill of Polyisobutylene (C4H8)n off the Dutch coast affecting seabirds in March 2010

Levels of chronic oil pollution in the marine environment are declining worldwide and certainly so in the southern North Sea (Anon. 1992, 1993; Camphuysen 1998, 2010). This is most likely the result of a combination of factors, including intensified and more effective aerial surveillance (remote sensing), legislation, human attitude, and enhanced possibilities to discharge unwanted substances in oil reception facilities in harbours. Beached bird surveys have documented this decline in considerable detail (Camphuysen 2010).

An approach is considered that uses directed graphs of the equivalent circuit of microwave circuits to solve the problems of the passage of electromagnetic waves through a plane-layered dielectric medium. The application of graph theory to estimate the transfer coefficient of a multilayer dielectric medium is considered. Using the theory of directed graphs, a transmission coefficient formula is obtained that corresponds to the well-known Airy formulas for a dielectric layer.
