Apple pomace is a by-product of the apple processing industry and can be used for various uses such as animal feed, for composting, or to extract valuable compounds such as pectin or antioxidants. In recent years, it has also gained attention as a potential food ingredient due to its fibre content and antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of three parameters: the percentage of wheat flour replaced by extrudate (5%, 10%, and 15%), the percentage of apple pomace in the extrudate (15%, 30%, and 45% based on the mass of corn grits), and the particle size of the extrudate (<250 µm; 250–1000 µm; 1000–2000 µm) on the properties of cookies, using the Box–Behnken experimental design. The addition of extrudates enriched with apple pomace significantly increased the total fibre and ash content of the cookies. The hydroxymethylfurfural content also increased, but not above the permitted limits (25 mg/kg). The sensory quality was strongly influenced by the particle size, especially the hardness, graininess, and appearance of the cookies. The addition of extrudate led to a darker colour of the cookies and a significant increase in the proportion of red tones, but generally had no negative influence on the acceptability of the cookies and their microbiological stability during the 6-month storage period.
Study on Rural Classification and Resilience Evaluation Based on PSR Model: A Case Study of Lvshunkou District, Dalian City, China
Authors: Wang Jing , Wang Ying , Lin Geng
Published: August 2024

When implementing a rural revitalization strategy, it is of great significance to understand how to identify potential risks in different types of villages and how to achieve resilience governance. In this paper, a rural classification evaluation method is proposed from the perspective of resilience. The stress–state–response model and the TOPSIS method were used to analyze the resilience risks in different types of villages in Lvshunkou District. The results showed that the comprehensive resilience of rural areas in Lvshunkou District has the spatial distribution characteristics of “high center and low wings”, and the spatial differences of each resilience subsystem are different: the pressure resilience subsystem shows a trend of “increasing step by step” from the coast to the inland, the state resilience subsystem shows a trend of “decreasing step by step from the center to the two wings”, and the response resilience subsystem shows a trend of “blocky aggregation and balanced distribution”. This paper further proposes systematic reconstruction strategies for rural resilience related to the four aspects of rural space, industry, ecology, and governance, providing development ideas for measuring rural resilience indicators in Lvshunkou District and realizing long-term governance in different types of villages.
Admissibility Analysis and Controller Design Improvement for T-S Fuzzy Descriptor Systems
Authors: Yang Han , Zhang Shuanghong , Yu Fanqi
Published: August 2024

In this paper, a stability analysis and the controller improvement of T-S fuzzy Descriptor system are studied. Firstly, by making full use of the related theory of fuzzy affiliation function and combining the design method of fuzzy Lyapunov function with the method of inequality deflation, a stability condition with wider admissibility and less system conservatism is proposed. The advantage of this method is that it is not necessary to ensure that each fuzzy subsystem is progressively stable. We also maximise the boundary of the derivatives of the affiliation function mined. Secondly, a PDC controller and a Non-PDC controller are designed, and the deflation conditions for the linear matrix inequalities of the two controllers are constructed. Finally, some arithmetic simulations and practical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method studied in this paper, and the results obtained are less conservative and have larger feasible domains than previous methods.
Emerging Authentication Technologies for Zero Trust on the Internet of Things
Authors: Bast Chanapha , Yeh Kuo-Hui
Published: August 2024

The large and interconnected nature of the Internet of Things (IoT) presents unique security challenges, even as it revolutionizes various sectors. With numerous devices, often limited in resources, traditional perimeter-based security methods struggle to keep pace. The “never trust, always verify” principle of zero trust security offers a viable solution. Zero trust security is a concept that has become increasingly popular, using key exchange techniques to ensure secure and authenticated communication within the network, especially in managing risks in critical infrastructure. Authentication is a process to identify an entity, a prerequisite for authorization, and essential for granting access control. It fundamentally relies on trust management and various methods to generate and manage cryptographic keys for authentication. The aim of this study is to enhance zero trust security in the context of the Internet of Things by investigating authentication methods and discussing several potential solutions for successful implementation. This study also presents the performance evaluation criteria for authentication in IoT and introduces advanced approaches for different scenarios, including lightweight cryptography, mutual authentication, and blockchain technology. Finally, we address challenges related to implementation and future directions for research.

Authors: Luo Xinyuan , Yin Jian , Wei Danqi
Published: August 2024

With the outbreak and evolution of the pandemic worldwide, the financial market has experienced unprecedented shocks and adjustments, and the volatility and correlation of the stock market, as an important indicator of economic activities, have shown new features and trends during the pandemic. Based on the CSI 300 Index, we construct a three-stage sequential network representing the pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-relaxation phases. We investigate the evolving dynamics and resilience of the network, forecasting potential future connections, thus offering fresh insights into comprehending market recovery. Our findings unveil that the market adapts dynamically to the pandemic’s progression, witnessing an overall augmentation in network interconnectedness. While the financial sector maintains its pivotal role, the influence of non-financial sectors experiences an upsurge. Despite the network demonstrating poor stability and heavy reliance on key nodes, there exists a positive recovery trajectory. Non-financial sectors such as energy and transportation emerge as pivotal catalysts for market rejuvenation. We provide suggestions for government regulators and investors, providing strong support for optimizing the market structure and promoting the long-term healthy development of the market.
A New Genus of Prodidominae Cave Spider from a Paleoburrow and Ferruginous Caves in Brazil (Araneae: Prodidomidae)
Authors: Cizauskas Igor , Zampaulo Robson de A. , Brescovit Antonio D.
Published: August 2024

A new monotypic genus of Prodidominae, Paleotoca gen. n., is proposed to include one cave species collected in a paleoburrow and ferruginous caves from Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Minas Gerais, Brazil: Paleotoca diminassp. n. (♂♀). The new genus is closely related to other Neotropical Prodidominae by sharing the classic claw tuft clasper. Paleotoca gen. n. is diagnosed by the absence of a dorsal abdominal scutum, a ventral parallel rows of strong spines on the tibia and metatarsus I–II, a lack of a conductor, a discrete median apophysis on the bulb and a bifid retrolateral tibial apophysis in the male palp, a posterior extension that is beak-shaped, and folds of a copulatory duct ventrally visible in the female epigyne. Like other Prodidominae species from caves, P. diminassp. n. is a troglobitic spider with morphological characteristics that indicate specialization to live in subterranean environments, including reduction in cuticular pigments, eye loss, heavy spination and trichobothria.

Authors: Kicherova M. N. , Yurina E. A.
Published: August 2024

The article examines the theoretical underpinnings of collaborative design and its application in Russian urban contexts. It seeks to analyze the methodology of participatory design, evaluate the experience of its implementation, identify advantages and challenges, and identify potential stakeholders involved in the process. These stakeholders include residents, entrepreneurs, businesses, experts, environmentalists, non-governmental organizations, government bodies, budgetary institutions, and cultural organizations. The article explains why traditional face-to-face approaches to collaborative design are becoming less effective and why a more inclusive, hybrid approach is necessary to engage and involve diverse groups of stakeholders. A case study methodology was employed to conduct the empirical research. Cases from three cities in Russia — Tyumen, Buinsk, and Tchaikovsky — were selected and analyzed to illustrate the application of participatory design. Using the example of the Orenburg case, the stages and processes of participatory design have been examined, including a survey of residents and experts in the museum sector to assess the potential for the development of cultural spaces in the city. Participatory design has been presented as a methodology, social process, and practical activity. Key demands from various interest groups have been identified, and the benefits and limitations of collaborative design have been outlined based on the findings of the study.

Published: August 2024

Currently, about 100 million m2 of housing are built annually in the Russia. The existing housing stock is estimated at 3.3 billion m2. In the volume of the existing housing stock, a significant share is made up of buildings of the so-called first mass series. They were built in the 50s—80s of the XX century according to standard designs, among which panel buildings predominate. As the housing market becomes saturated, the emphasis in the construction industry will gradually shift from new construction towards the renovation and modernization of existing buildings. The issues of modernization and reconstruction of buildings of the first mass series are relevant not only for our country. A significant number of such buildings were built in East Germany and the Baltic countries. Examples of the implementation of modernization programs for serial buildings in East Germany and Russia are shown. Specific activities and recommendations that can be implemented within the framework of such programs are given, the risks of their implementation and sources of financing are described.

Published: August 2024

Cuarenta años después de haber logrado la restitución democrática ininterrumpida, la sociedad argentina enfrenta un escenario inédito en uno de los factores centrales -sino el más gravitante- en la organización de su vida política; la comunicación.  Nunca antes la circulación de datos y representaciones, como proceso social y como factor tecnopolítico de poder, había logrado tal gravitación en los modos de representación y organización de la vida. Uno de sus mayores impactos ha sido el protagonismo de la posverdad, definida como la “distorsión deliberada de una realidad, que manipula creencias y emociones con el fin de influir en la opinión pública y en actitudes sociales”
40 años: del oscurantismo a la posverdad
Authors: Lazzaro Luis
Published: August 2024

En Argentina, la deliberación pública ha estado dominada por una mediación de sentido que socava la política, antagoniza los reclamos sociales y disminuye el papel del Estado como instrumento de gestión de la vida común. Esto lleva a un discurso agnósico y al escepticismo sobre los problemas nacionales. La insatisfacción democrática expone un clivaje de época que interpela a la dirigencia política. Este divorcio entre el interés colectivo y la percepción individual se debe en parte a la prédica sistemática de un dispositivo de información y el consumo cultural, operado por intereses económicos convergentes y concentrados. La regulación de este dispositivo con estándares democráticos es una de las grandes prioridades de Argentina y abre nuevas preguntas sobre la calidad de la democracia en el mundo digital.

Published: August 2024

Due to the war in Ukraine and restrictions on the export of hydrocarbons from Russia by the European countries, uranium companies are again becoming an interesting sector in terms of investment. Consequently, it is important for investors to have accurate forecasts of uranium sector. This article applies machine learning algorithms such as the Random Forests and the Support Vector Machine to predict future URA ETF prices for the next five periods. The study was conducted using data on the ETF Global X Uranium for the period from 08/11/2010 to 31/05/2023 was obtained from investing.com. The data contains information about the stock such as High, Low, Open, Close, Adjacent close and Volume and several well-known technical indicators. The research showed that both the Random Forest and the Support Vector Machine forecast prices with less bias than the classic ARIMA model. The Random Forest algorithm forecasted prices with a constant level of bias over the forecasting period, while the error of the forecasts calculated by the Support Vector Machine algorithm for the first three periods was the lowest compared to the rest of the analyzed models. Research showed that the Random Forest algorithm and the Support Vector Machine can be used to make correct predictions for uranium sector.

Published: August 2024

Ketupat is a unique culture and tradition in Bali. Ketupat is often used as a banten offering. This unique procession of the ketupat war is held once a year to coincide with the Purnama Kapat. The ketupat war is a traditional event with participants throwing ketupat at each other. It aims to be grateful for all the gifts that the Creator has given to humans in this world. This tradition has existed since the 1970s with the beginning of its appearance involving two shirtless men. The ketupat war ceremony is part of the yadnya as the basis for the return of the Tri Rna. In today's era of the development of science and technology, people are only focused on meeting material needs, understanding the meaning of rituals and religious events is decreasing, and it is considered an incriminating or even meaningless activity. In this study, a dataset of 90 was used with 18 types of ketupat used, namely: bagia, batu dam-pulan, bracelet, kale, mattress, kedis, kepel, kroso, lepet, pengambean, sai, cow, sari, sirikan, suna, tulud, tumpeng. This study aims to determine the per-formance of Logistic Regression Classifier by using color, HSV, GLCM and shape features. The dataset used is a typical Balinese ketupat type of 90 data. In this test, 4 test scenarios are used: 1) The first test scenario, the dataset input performs the preprocessing process, HSV imagery, and the color feature extraction process where the output results are in the form of hue, saturation and value values in the form of excel files. 2) The second test scenario, the input dataset performs a preprocessing process, grayscale, and performs the GLCM feature extraction process where the output results are in the form of feature values of angle 00, angle 450, angle 900 and angle 1350 in the form of an excel file. 3) The third test scenario, the dataset input performs the preprocessing process, binner, performs the form feature extraction process where the output results are in the form of metric, eccentricity in the form of excel files. 4) The fourth test scenario, from the 3 (three) feature extractions carried out, the new dataset, the next stage is to implement the Logistic Re-gression classifier method to obtain accuracy values. Based on the results of the classification, testing and analysis, the level of accuracy from each of them was obtained with a training accuracy value of 69.84% and a testing accuracy of 22.2%, which means that the classification method was declared ineffective in analyzing the features used in the ketupat classification, so it is necessary to compare it with other methods so that it gets an accuracy result above 90%.

Cleft is one of the most common birth defects worldwide, including in Indonesia. In Indonesia, there are 1,596 cleft patients, with 50.53% having a cleft lip and palate (CL/P), 24.42% having a cleft lip (CL), and 25.05% having a cleft palate (CP). Individuals with clefts encounter difficulties with resonance and articulation during communication due to dysfunctions in the oral and nasal cavi-ties. This study investigates various types of mother wavelets as feature extractors for cleft speech signals. Five different mother wavelets, namely Symlet order 2, Reverse Biorthogonal order 1.1, Discrete Meyer, Coiflet order 1, and Biorthogonal order 1.1 are analyzed. This work aims to find the best type of mother wavelet. The extracted features are statistical features, such as mean, me-dian, standard deviation, kurtosis, and skewness. The dataset used in this study consists of 200 sound signals from 10 individuals with cleft conditions and 10 normal volunteers. To assess the performance of the extractor, classification is performed using K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and K-Fold cross-validation. The experimental results indicate that the Reverse Biorthogonal order 1.1 mother wavelet achieves the highest accuracy compared to other types of mother wavelet, where the accuracy is 93%, with sensitivity and specificity of 94% and 92%, respectively.

Published: August 2024

Chemically amplified resists (CARs) are widely used in lithography for manufacturing semiconductor devices. To reduce the occurrence of stochastic defects in CARs, increased acid generator concentration is required. In this study, we investigated the effects of acid generator anions on the radiation-induced decomposition of acid generators using electron pulse radiolysis and γ-radiolysis methods. Their effects on the dissolution dynamics of poly(4-hydroxystyrene) (PHS) films were also investigated using contact angle measurement and quartz crystal microbalance methods. Triphenylsulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate, triphenylsulfonium nonafluoro-1-butanesulfonate, triphenylsulfonium 4-toluenesulfonate, and triphenylsulfonium salicylate, were used as acid generators or photodecomposable quenchers. The anions showed minimal effect on the decomposition of the acid generators and photodecomposable quenchers; however, they influenced the surface free energy, dissolution kinetics of the PHS films, and water penetration into the PHS films. In particular, the effect of salicylate on the dissolution kinetics of PHS films is significant.

The objective of this study was to find the strength of aggregates from selected three rivers and suggest to use aggregates for construction from the rivers, where better quality and strong aggregates exists. Aggregates from three selected rivers were tested for, size distribution, aggregate impact value (AIV), Los Angeles abrasion test (LAA). Natural and crushed aggregates were collected and tested for preparing the M20 grade concrete. The mean compressive strength of the concrete made from natural aggregates at 7 and 28 days was fond as 16.72 N/mm2, 16.5N/mm2 and 14.11N/mm2 and 26.22 N/mm2 , 24.29 N/ mm2 and 23.69 N/mm2 for Danda, Jharahi and Boulaha rivers respectively. Similarly, mean compressive strength of concrete made from crushed aggregates at 7 and 28 day was found to be 16.06 N/mm2 , 16.43N/mm2 and 15.16N/mm2 and 26.29 N/mm2, 24.95 N/mm2 and 24.36 N/mm2 for Danda Jharahi and Boulaha rivers, respectively. The null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted that there exist significant difference in mean value of compressive strength among the river aggregates from selected rivers. However no interaction among the river aggregates was found as Fcalc 0.05 hence null hypothesis was accepted. The higher strength aggregates were found in Danda river whereas lower strength aggregates were found in Boulaha river

Knowledge and Practices of Nurses on Preoperative Fasting Guidelines Care for Adult Patients: A Review
Authors: Esperance Dushimimana
Published: August 2024

Preoperative fasting is the term used to describe the time before a surgical procedure during which patients are not permitted to consume any liquids or solids by mouth. Pre-operative fasting guidelines for adult patients are critical for ensuring the well-being and safety of surgical patients. Pre-operative fasting is a standard practice designed to reduce the risk of complications during surgery, such as gastric aspiration. Fasting helps to prevent complications like pulmonary aspiration pneumonia, which can occur if patients do not empty their stomachs before surgery. Fasting durations for solids, liquids, and clear fluids are typically recommended in guidelines. Fasting before surgery or medical procedures that require anesthesia is a common practice. Fasting is done to reduce the risk of aspiration, which occurs when stomach contents enter the lungs during anesthesia and can lead to serious complications. The general guidelines for preoperative fasting typically include avoiding solid food for a specific period before the procedure, as well as limiting liquid intake. Fasting durations and recommendations, on the other hand, can vary. There has been some evolution in preoperative fasting guidelines in recent years. The traditional method involved fasting for extended periods, sometimes up to 12 hours or more for solid food and 2-6 hours for clear liquids. Recent research and updated guidelines in various countries suggest that shorter fasting periods may be just as effective in preventing aspiration while also improving hydration and reducing the stress associated with prolonged fasting. Many healthcare facilities are now more relaxed about preoperative fasting, allowing clear liquids up to 2 hours before surgery and light meals up to 6 hours before the procedure. It is important to note, however, that these guidelines are subject to change, specific fasting instructions are dependent on factors such as the type of surgery, the patient's health status, and .....

Tomato plants (Allium ascalonicum L.) are horticultural vegetable plants that are included in the eggplant group. Tomato plants are very much needed in the community because tomatoes are one of the most important vegetable ingredients in several types of vegetables. This study observed the growth of tomato plants under the influence of POC treatment of Rice Water and Coffee Grounds Waste. The method used in this study was a non-factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) with three replications to see how the POC of rice washing water and coffee grounds waste affected the growth of tomato plants ( Allium ascalonicum L. ). With three types of treatment concentrations 0 (control), 100, 200ml POC and 0 (control), 75g, and 150g coffee grounds waste. The results of this research show that plants with a dose of 200ml POC have a high growth rate compared to other doses. With the same plant age, plant stem height occurred at a dose of 200ml, while the lowest number of leaves occurred at a dose of 0. This study found that administering a 200ml POC dose at 3MST showed a significant dose level, compared to other dose treatments. The results of this research show that a dose of 200ml POC of rice washing water is very suitable for the growth process of tomato plants, and the findings of this research can be used as a condition for getting tomato plant growth results.

A Atenção Primária à Saúde cuida das pessoas por meio da promoção e prevenção, muito mais do que apenas tratar doenças. Da mesma forma, a Medicina Veterinária do Coletivo busca seguir esta premissa, porém, apesar dos esforços, a vulnerabilidade social e o interesse político interferem em suas estratégias e resultados. Desta forma, a saúde animal precisa do apoio de políticas públicas. Realizados em algumas cidades, programas de controle populacional, associados à educação sobre posse responsável, buscam resolver o número de animais no ambiente e reduzir os agravos à Saúde Única. No entanto, a saúde animal, propriamente dita, é deficitária e acaba interferindo na saúde humana, uma vez que as relações interespécies se intensificaram. O objeto do estudo qualitativo é visto na sua historicidade, centrado em uma problemática. Assim sendo, tutores e animais de companhia em situação de vulnerabilidade concebem uma problemática coletiva a ser cuidada. Com isso, o objetivo deste estudo é contextualizar a atenção primária à saúde animal por meio de reflexões sobre os fenômenos envolvidos neste tema, visando amplificar e construir o conhecimento crítico. É possível afirmar que a atenção primária à saúde animal é um progresso para o contexto sócio-econômico-político brasileiro, visando solucionar a problemática nacional dos animais de companhia e tutores vítimas da vulnerabilidade.
Women: Wise, Optimistic, Motivating, Empowering & Nurturing

Women’s Day, celebrated annually on the 9th of August, commemorates the 1956 women’s march against the discriminatory pass laws during the apartheid era. It was on this day that women from across the nation were led by Helen Joseph, Lillian Ngoyi, Rahima Moosa and Sophia Williams-De Bruyn to the Union Buildings to protest against the oppressive pass laws. As SA History describes it, “The 1956 Women’s March played a vital role in women becoming more visible participants in the anti-apartheid struggle.” That is not to say that women were not already playing an instrumental role in the struggle. But as history has long demonstrated, this is often a forgotten aspect of our narrative. This unfortunate omission underscores the importance of reclaiming and preserving these stories, weaving them into the broader narrative of societal progress. As we reflect on their fight and the impact of their war cry, “wathint’ abafazi, wathint’ imbokodo, uza kufa” which translates to “when you strike the women, you strike a rock, you will be crushed you will die”, we are given pause to reflect on the progress made in the fight for equality since then. We now live in a democratic society where many of our aspirations have been realised. Yet, there is much we have not managed to achieve. To say that South Africa has achieved equality would be a fallacy. A grim reality is that in many aspects we have failed women. Pay parity, underrepresentation in industries, unequal access to opportunities, disturbing levels of violence, sexism and misogyny persist unabated. These issues cast a long shadow over our aspirations as a nation. This book aims to shed light on these issues while honouring the progress made and highlighting the road ahead.
The Great Decoupling: China, America and the Struggle for Technological Supremacy
Authors: Ndzendze Bhaso
Published: August 2024

In 12 substantive chapters, the author provides a comprehensive diagnosis of the state of play of the relationship between China and the US, up to the Trump-Xi period. The book’s thesis is that the two countries, the largest in the world across a number of measures (most importantly economic and military) are headed for an inevitable divergence, fuelled by misunderstanding, misalignment, and competing ambitions. This, of course, is nothing new and has been the subject of many academic and journalistic commentaries. But where Inkster stands out is in his focus on technology, an artefact important to every civilisation, and one which becomes a motivation and a weapon for integration or divergence. The book’s title gives a clue as to which camp Inkster falls within. This is no mere new cold war, he argues (though much of his argument fits squarely with much of that burgeoning and increasingly attention-worthy literature). That analogy misses a lot that is different in the US-PRC formation compared to its US-USSR example. It is more akin to the UK-German pre-WWI and US-Japan pre-Pearl Harbour situations; add to that the fuel of the narrative of the century of humiliation, authoritarian rule, and ingenuity and you have a highly motivated government and society in China.
