Zaburzenia zachowania fazy snu REM jako wczesny marker choroby Parkinsona
Authors: Wardas Jadwiga , Kosmowska Barbara
Published: November 2020

Choroba Parkinsona (PD) jest jedną z najczęściej występujących chorób neurodegeneracyjnych we współczesnym świecie, związaną ze starzejącymi się społeczeństwami. PD jest chorobą postępującą, w której dochodzi do utraty neuronów dopaminowych istoty czarnej (SN) a cechą patologiczną jest obecność ciał Lewy'ego, złożonych m.in. z białka ?-synukleiny. Gdy utrata neuronów w SN przekroczy ok. 60% wówczas pojawiają się główne objawy kliniczne (ruchowe), czyli bradykinezja, sztywność mięśniowa, drżenie spoczynkowe i zaburzenia postawy, chodu. PD jest chorobą o złożonej etiopatogenezie, w której bardzo ważny jest okres przedkliniczny/prodromalny, bowiem pojawiają się wówczas objawy pozaruchowe, np. osłabienie węchu, depresja czy zaburzenia snu, wyprzedzające nawet o kilkanaście lat fazę kliniczną. Niniejsza praca, poza opisem podstawowych informacji na temat PD, skupia się na zaburzeniach snu, wśród których najważniejszym jest zaburzenie zachowania w czasie snu REM, które może stanowić wczesny marker diagnostyczny rozwijającej się choroby, a tym samym pomóc w poszukiwaniu nowych terapii neuroprotekcyjnych już na wczesnym, prodromalnym etapie.
Alergia kontaktowa - przyczyna depresji i bezsenności?
Authors: Curzytek Katarzyna , Kubera Marta
Published: November 2020

Nowoczesny styl życia, zanieczyszczenia środowiska i postępująca industrializacja przyczyniają się do wzrostu zachorowań na alergiczne kontaktowe zapalenie skóry, które jest reakcją odpornościową na niskocząsteczkowe substancje ? hapteny. Klinicznie manifestuje się na skórze obrzękiem, pęcherzami i pęknięciami, którym dodatkowo towarzyszy ból i świąd. Zapalny charakter choroby oraz widoczne na skórze zmiany, przyczyniają się do pogorszenia jakości życia chorych oraz zwiększają prawdopodobieństwo wystąpienia zaburzeń depresyjnych. Niewątpliwie objawy z kręgu zaburzeń lękowych i depresyjnych (przebiegających z bezsennością) mogą dotyczyć nawet 60% pacjentów dermatologicznych. Ponadto, jakość snu oraz stan skóry są ze sobą ściśle skorelowane i wzajemnie na siebie oddziałują. Niezwykle obiecujące są wyniki badań ostatnich lat, które wskazują, że leki przeciwdepresyjne, w praktyce klinicznej stosowane w leczeniu bezsenności, hamują również reakcję nadwrażliwości kontaktowej. Dlatego niniejsza praca jest poświęcona problemowi współwystępowania chorób skóry, depresji i bezsenności, roli układu odpornościowego w etiologii tych chorób oraz immunomodulacyjnych właściwości leków przeciwdepresyjnych, mogących wywierać terapeutyczne efekty w chorobach z zakresu psychodermatologii.
Mechanizmy regulacji snu u Drosophila melanogaster
Authors: Pyza Elżbieta , Damulewicz Milena
Published: November 2020

Sen zarówno u Drosophila jak i u ssaków jest regulowany przez zegar okołodobowy i procesy homeostatyczne, szczególnie po okresie jego deprywacji. Funkcja snu jest podobna u różnych organizmów, jego brak wpływa na uczenie się i pamięć, a także na procesy metaboliczne  i rozwój. Główny oscylator zegara okołodobowego u muszki owocowej zlokalizowany jest w mózgu i składa się ze 150 neuronów, a niektóre z nich kontaktują się z neuronami tworzącymi ośrodki snu zlokalizowane w ciałach grzybkowatych i kompleksie centralnym mózgu. W regulacji procesu snu i czuwania kluczową rolę odgrywają neurotransmitery, takie jak dopamina, oktopamina, serotonina, GABA i acetylocholina. W procesach regulacji snu dużą rolę odgrywają również komórki glejowe, szczególnie te, w których zlokalizowane są oscylatory peryferyczne.

Published: November 2020

Mujair fish (Oreochromis mossambicus) is a freshwater fish that is commonly consumed. This is due that they are easily found and obtrained and with a price in fresh markets that are relatively cheap. Unfortunately, this fish happens to be a very perishable commodity, due to it’s sensitiveness to spoilage because of its high protein content and moisture content. Pangi seeds (Pangium edule) is known to contain tanines, natural polyphenols that inhibits microorganisms through their cell wall permeability. The purpose of this research was to test the potential of pangi seeds crude extract as natural pangi seed toxiti preservatives on mujair fish, shelf life potential on mujair fish. This was achieved by marinating the fish in crude pangi seed extracts at concentrations of 0% (control), 5% and 10% and then store for 4 days at room temperature. Parameters tested on this research includes cyanide identification BSLT toxicity testing and fish spoilage (degradation) through protein changes and pH. Results of this research indicated that pangi seeds crude extract does not contain any cyanide of whatsoever, pangi seed crude extract toxicity testing indicated thatit was not toxic to a concentration of 128233mg/L, meanwhile protein analysis indicated that the optimum concentration of pangi seed crude extract to inhibit fish spoilage is 10% while in terms of pH degradation, the optimum concentration was 5%.

Published: November 2020

This study investigates the effectiveness of mobile learning in the teaching and learning of Probability. The context of mobile here is not just restrained to gadgets such as smartphones but also the fact that teaching and learning can occur beyond boundaries and anywhere according to the convenience and personal preference of the students. This study made use of the pretest – posttest quasi experimental design and the students chosen for the study were from a pre-university college located in the northern region of the country. A total of 92 students made up the sample of the study. There were 46 students each in the experimental and control groups respectively. Cluster random sampling was employed as the sampling method here. The instrument used to collect data with the aim of strengthening the outcome of the study was the achievement test. A quantitative approach was undertaken specifically to analyse the obtained data. The paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test were executed in the data analysis process. Initially, every student involved in the study regardless of the group they were in possessed equal strength in their understanding of the content being covered as indicated by the results of their pre-test. The paired sample t-test yielded p < 0.05 which meant that there was a significant difference between the mean score of the pre-test and post-test in the experimental group and control group respectively. The outcome of the independent sample t-test showed that there was a significant difference between the mean score of the experimental group and that of the control group in the post-test (p < 0.05). This indicated that the treatment via mobile learning had indeed played a role in the improved performance of students in Probability, hence proving the effectiveness of mobile learning in the teaching and learning of Probability.

Decoding the sense of smell: understanding the structural organization within the brain
Authors: Singh Shripriya
Published: November 2020

The olfactory sense is a potent sensory tool which helps us perceive our environment much better. However, smells despite being similar have different impacts on individuals. What makes one odor categorically different from the other and why do people have a unique and personalized experience with smell is an answer that needs to be addressed. In the present article we have discussed the research in which neuroscientists have decoded and described how the relationships between different odors are encoded in the brain. How the brain transforms information about odor chemistry into the perception of smell is a major highlight of this publication. Carefully selected odors with defined molecular structures were delivered in mice and the neural activity was analyzed. It was observed that neuronal representations of smell in the cortex reflected chemical similarities between odors, thus allowing the brain to categorize scents. The study has employed chemo informatics and multiphoton imaging in the mouse to demonstrate both the piriform cortex and its sensory inputs from the olfactory bulb represent chemical odor relationships through correlated patterns of activity. The research has given us cues in the direction of how the brain translates odor chemistry into neurochemistry and eventually perception of smell.

The article considers the features of the functioning of languages in the Republic of Crimea at the present stage. On the basis of a field survey, the perceptions of speakers of different languages about the current language situation, about the differences between the legal and actual statuses of languages have been defined. The analysis of the language material allows to establish the direction of the development of the language situation in Crimea. At the present stage, the balanced language policy of the Russian Federation has eliminated a number of contradictions, legislatively consolidated the status of different languages in the Crimea and provided the opportunity to study all native languages (including Russian) in educational organizations of the peninsula.
The Specular Fauna of Jorge Luis Borges
Authors: Valerio-Holguín Fernando
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this essay is to analyze “Fauna of Mirrors” by Jorge Luis Borges, in the context of his poetics: mirrors, fantastic animal, and dreams. Borges (re) creates the myth of the Fish of the mirrors and the legend of the tiger of the mirrors, of doubtful existence. Taking advantage of the epistemological distance with China, Borges founds his own sinology, his own myth, and his own legend. For Borges, copying, repetition, real or apocryphal quotes, glosses, translation, interpretation and rewriting are but another form of literary creation. Partially, the writers and texts cited by Borges to assemble his text are apocryphal: it is the case of Father Zallinger and the sinologist Herbert Allen Giles who, although of real existence, are attributed false and incomplete references. In the text, animals of mirrors manifest themselves as products of the Yellow Emperor's dream, as the repressed unconscious, upon which Chinese civilization and culture are founded.

Four-dimensional Frequency–Wavenumber Power Spectrum of a Strong Turbulence Obtained from Hybrid Kinetic Simulations
Authors: Markovskii S. A. , Vasquez Bernard J.
Published: November 2020

We carry out three-dimensional hybrid kinetic simulations of a strong decaying turbulence. The turbulence is initiated with a seed spectrum that includes Alfvén wave modes at low wavenumbers. From the temporal and spatial distribution of the simulation output in the quasi-steady phase, we calculate a four-dimensional frequency–wavenumber spectrum of the turbulence. Our analysis shows that kinetic Alfvén waves can be identified in the wavenumber–frequency space in the vicinity of the seed turbulence spectrum. They produce a power peak consistent with a linear dispersion relation. However, further away from the seed spectrum, where most of the wave–particle interaction takes place, the signature of the Alfvén modes disappears among other fluctuations that are not described by any dispersion relations. Furthermore, at higher wavenumbers at which the signature is still identifiable, its frequency broadening becomes comparable to the frequency itself. Therefore, the use of linear waves based on the conventional dispersion relation is not necessarily justified to describe the turbulence if their signature is still present and even more so when it disappears. We find that at larger rms amplitudes of the turbulence, the signature of the dispersion relation is confined to lower parallel wavenumbers. In the range where it is visible, the frequency broadening becomes greater at larger amplitudes. This suggests that stronger nonlinearity makes the fluctuations behave less like wave modes until the conventional wave-mode approach is no longer valid.
Do Afterglow Synchrotron Radiations Follow the Lp,iso–Ep,z–Γ0 Relation of Gamma-Ray Bursts? The Cases of GRBs 190114C, 130427A, and 180720B

Published: November 2020

Bimodal spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow of GRBs 190114C, 130427A, and 180720B confirm that they are originated from the synchrotron emission (Syn) and synchrotron self-Compton scattering (SSC) process of electrons accelerated in the jets. The radiation mechanism and the physics of the observed spectrum-luminosity/energy relations of GRBs remain as open questions. By extracting the Syn component through fitting their early afterglow SEDs with the Syn+SSC model, we find that their luminosity (L
syn), peak energy (E
p,syn,z), and the Lorentz factor of the afterglow fireball (Γ
t
) follow the L
p,iso–E
p,z–Γ0 relation of prompt gamma rays, where L
p,iso is the isotropic luminosity, E
p,z is the peak energy of the

spectrum in the burst frame, and Γ0 is the initial Lorentz factor of the fireball. To examine whether late afterglows are consistent with this relation, we calculate the synchrotron component at late afterglows. It is found that they also follow the same L
p,iso–E
p,z–Γ0 relation, albeit they are not consistent with the L
p,iso–E
p,z relation. Our results may imply that the L
p,iso–E
p,z–Γ0 relation would be a universal feature of synchrotron radiations of electrons accelerated in GRB jets throughout the prompt and afterglow phases among GRBs. Its origin is not fully understood, and possible explanations are briefly discussed.

Published: November 2020

This work aimed to improve reproductive maturation in two penaeoid species (Artemesia longinaris and Pleoticus muelleri) by using carotenes added in artificial feeds and comparing antioxidant activity and carotenoids profiles. Immature females were kept for 45 days at salinity 33, temperature at 18°C, pH 7, 12:12 h photoperiod, ammonium <0.2mg L-1 and seawater exchanged at 100% per day. Feeding regimes consisted of 50% fresh frozen ingredients (clam muscle and squid mantle) and 50% dry pellets. For each species, three pelletized feeds were tested, one as a control (C) and two supplemented each one with 300 mg astaxanthin (A) and β-carotene (B) kg-1 of diet. At the end of the trials, ovaries, midgut gland, and integument were sampled. In both species, the addition of carotenoids improved ovarian development: 100% of females fed A or B diets were mature, but of the females fed with diet C only 75% (P. muelleri) and 64% (A. longinaris) matured. Ovaries of mature females exhibited the highest concentration of carotenoids. The abundance of free astaxanthin regarding total carotenes, suggests that excess of free astaxanthin could be biotransformed to esterified astaxanthin. The scavenging properties were evaluated against the stable 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical by electron resonance spectroscopy (EPR). For all feed treatments, the extracts exhibited strong DPPH scavenging activity, without significant differences among them.
Polychaetes (Annelida) associated with macroalgae and coral reefs at a protected tropical island from the Atlantic coast
Authors: Costa Dimitri , Prata Jessica , Christoffersen Martin
Published: November 2020

Polychaetes are typical marine invertebrates in the macroalgae and coral reefs environments, with a particular emphasis on tropical waters. In this study, 44 specimens were collected, belonging to 10 families, 13 genera and 13 species, among which the families Nereididae (with three species) and Amphinomidae (two spp.) were the most representative. The species Terebella plagiostoma (10 individuals), Ceratonereis singularis (9) and Eurythoe complanata (9) were the most abundant.

This work represents the first study of polychaetes performed at the Morro de São Paulo region (Tinharé Island), a protected island from Northeast Brazil (state of Bahia). The samples (algae in the fringing reef ecosystems) were collected in 2015, at low tide in the intertidal to shallow subtidal zones. The species Hyboscolex longiseta Schmarda, 1861 is reported here for the first time in the South Atlantic Ocean. The errant polychaetes predominated at the collected samples (61.36% of the total abundance). These numbers evidence how little we know about coastal marine invertebrate fauna in Brazil and indicate the need for further sampling, especially on protected islands.

Published: November 2020

This survey aims to provide an updated species checklist of aquatic and semi-aquatic bugs in the intra-Philippine biogeographic Region of Mindoro. An assessment survey of water bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) was conducted mostly by manual collection in selected areas of Oriental Mindoro from 2017 to 2018, in which some of the collecting activities were undertaken by graduate students of Ateneo de Manila University.

Twenty-nine aquatic and semi-aquatic heteropteran species were documented and some are known island-endemic species or subspecies, includingEnithares martini mindoroensisNieser & Zettel, 1999,Hydrotrephes stereoides mindoroensisZettel, 2003,Aphelocheirus freitagiZettel & Pangantihon, 2010,Rhagovelia mindoroensisZettel, 1994,Rhagovelia raddaiZettel, 1994,Rhagovelia potamophilaZettel, 1996 andStrongylovelia mindoroensisLansbury & Zettel, 1997, which were found in new areas in the Region. In addition, there are also new records for the Island that have already been documented in other parts of the Philippines, such as the Philippine-endemicOchterus magnusGapud & San Valentin, 1977 andHebrus philippinusZettel, 2006 and the widely-distributed backswimmersAnisops nigrolineatusLundblad, 1933 andAnisops rhomboidesNieser & Chen, 1999. Several undescribed specimens and potentially new species are also discussed in this paper. Further surveys in the other parts of Mindoro and in the other regions of the Philippines, are encouraged to produce a comprehensive baseline data of heteropteran species richness in the country.

A new rhodacarid mite of the genus Dendroseius Karg, 1965, D. reductussp. nov., was described based on females found in wood detritus and under bark of dead and dying poplar trees in a flood-plain forest in South Slovakia. The new species is unusual among the known congeners in the specifically formed triramous epistome of which the central projection is reduced in length, truncate, and markedly shorter than lateral ones. In other congeneric species, the anterior margin of the epistome possesses three pointed projections of similar size. A dichotomous key for identification of females of the world species classified in the genus Dendroseius is provided.
The Discursive Struggles of the Client–Worker Relationship in the Social Services
Authors: Nykänen Hanna , Mikkola Leena
Published: November 2020

This study examines how disability service workers identify the discourses of the client-worker relationships. We studied the clientworker relationship from the perspective of the relational dialectics theory with a focus on relational contradictions and the meanings created within discursive struggles. We analyzed the interview data from 22 social workers using contrapuntal analysis. According to the social workers’ perceptions, two discursive struggles exist in client-worker relationships: i) the struggle of integration, consisting of the contradiction of the ideal and the real and the contradiction of closeness and reservedness and ii) the struggle of certainty, consisting of the contradiction of predictability and novelty and the contradiction of openness and closedness. These struggles and contradictions arranges on the societal and relational frames to fully depict the nature of social work. Overall, our analysis shows that the client-worker relationship is both bound to the norms of a professional and a close interpersonal relationship, making its study particularly interesting.

Published: November 2020

How to best engage rural veterans in mental health care is challenging and a topic of public health concern. Rural-dwelling veterans experience greater mental health burden and poorer outcomes than their urban counterparts, making rural veteran engagement in mental health care a public health concern. In this article, we describe how institutional notions of “patient engagement” align with or diverge from rural veteran patient experiences of engagement in mental health care. Using an adapted case study approach developed for our study, we detail the mental health care experiences of three rural-dwelling veteran participants. These case studies illustrate varied forms of mental health care engagement, including use of community resources and self-management activities, that might not be recognized by clinicians as contributing to mental health treatment. Our findings highlight how critical gaps in institutional definitions of care engagement fail to acknowledge veterans’ experiences.

Authors: Boni Maria Rosaria , Copelli Sabrina , Raboni Massimo
Published: November 2020

A full-scale sewage treatment plant was investigated to assess the performance of the disinfection stage. Sodium hypochlorite was used as a disinfectant agent and the process efficiency was evaluated by E.coli removal. The research took place over a period of two years in order to evaluate the effect of retention time (t) and residual chlorine (Cr) under different seasonal conditions. The effectiveness of E.coli removal with sodium hypochlorite proved to be strictly dependent on the factor CR  t (product of residual chlorine with the contact time). The regression line of the experimental points was, on the whole, well comparable with the model proposed by Collins, especially in the field of CRt lower than 30 mg L-1 min.
Impact of bendiocarb 80% WP indoor residual spraying on insecticide resistance status of Anopheles arabiensis

Published: November 2020

Long term and wide use of indoor residual sprays augments the selection of insecticide resistance genes. The development of insecticide resistance in an insect population depends up on the volume and frequency of sprays against them and the inherent characteristics of the insect species. However, despite its use for decades, the effect of residual sprays on the status of insecticide resistance of malaria vectors is unknown in Ethiopia. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of bendiocarb 80% WP indoor residual spraying on insecticide resistance status of An. arabiensis in Bahir Dar Zuria District, Northwest Ethiopia. Susceptibility of An. arabiensis was examined against different insecticides using 2-3-day old female mosquitoes following WHO insecticide susceptibility test procedures. Test results were calculated according to WHO bioassay test protocol. Chi-square test was used to determine the significance level of differences between years and study sites. Susceptibility of An. arabiensis to fenitrothion, pirimiphosmethyl and propoxur was 100% in both study villages for three successive years. Resistance to bendiocarb was suspected after two years (2015) in Andassa, but not in Tikurit. Mortality and knock down due to DDT significantly increased from 2013 to 2015 at Tikurit (knock down: χ2 = 117.9, P<.0001 and mortality:  χ2 = 66.3, P<.0001; due to deltamethrin, knock down: χ2 = 7.3, P=.004 and mortality: χ2 = 37.8, P<.0001). The same was true at Andassa (due to DDT, knock down: χ2 = 198.7, P<.0001 and mortality:  χ2 = 82.9, P<.0001; due to deltamethrin, knock down: χ2 = 26.1, P<.0001 and mortality: χ2 = 48.2, P<.0001). Bendiocarb was effective against the An. arabiensis for two years under bendiocarb IRS operation so that alternative insecticides with different mode of action should be replaced every two to three years to prolong its efficacy.

Aquatic resources are increasingly stressed primarily due to anthropogenic activities in Ethiopia. These anthropogenic stresses altered ecological integrities and compromised ecosystem services that could otherwise support the livelihoods of millions of people. Evidence-based management of the degradation of aquatic ecosystems requires quantifying ecologically significant changes and discriminating among impact levels and types. Apart from physico-chemistry, monitoring of aquatic ecosystems using biological organisms is progressing well in recent times both in the tropics and temperate regions. The majority of studies so far focused on macroinvertebrates and to a lesser extent on diatoms. Though the method is given less attention, individual initiatives have been increasing over time especially in developing countries, including Ethiopia. This paper reviews current efforts undertaken and major challenges facing the use of bioindicators in aquatic ecosystems as biological monitoring tools. The possible application of biomonitoring and its importance for Ethiopian aquatic ecosystems is also discussed and future improvements suggested.
A CPSO Algorithm for Optimization of Wireless Sensor Network Positioning
Authors: Jin Xing
Published: November 2020

Wireless sensor network technology is widely used, and most applications depend on node location. Aiming at the problem that the signal intensity indication (RSSI) is susceptible to the environment, an improved chaotic particle swarm optimization (CPSO) is proposed in this paper in order to improve the positioning performance of the sensor node based on the research of the existing location algorithm. The convergence of the algorithm is better than the PSO algorithm. The results of the RSSI measurement data in both indoor and outdoor communication environments show that, compared with the general weighting algorithm and the traditional PSO algorithm, the improved combined optimization algorithm can greatly improve the effect of the ranging error on the positioning error and improve the positioning performance greatly.

Published: November 2020

In the consolidated financial statements, the non-controlling interest is an important indicator, a part of equity. The recognition of this criteria will help the consolidated financial statements become more public, transparent and accurate, and help shareholders to understand their interests in the investment process and in the capital contribution process. However, at present, the regulations on recognition of non-controlling interest are still controversial when corporations, parent companies, and groups are implemented in practice, including Dong Bac Corporation. By analyzing, synthesizing and evaluating methods, the author focuses on researching the theoretical basis of non-controlling interest, clarifying how to recognize and present non-controlling interests at the Dong Bac Corporation.
Trust Property: Legal Aspects
Authors: Safonchyk Oksana , Hlyniana Kateryna , Mazurenko Svetlana
Published: November 2020

The article is devoted to the history of the emergence and formation of the institution of trust property in relation to various legal systems. The purpose of such a historical analysis of the institution of trust property is to find a possible place of this legal institution in domestic law, because trust property is a relatively new legal construct for Ukrainian law. The relevance of the article is to study the possibility of using the Anglo-American Trust Institute in Ukraine. The object of the study of this article is the legal relations arising from the institute of trust property. Methods of historicism, method of logic, method of analysis, method of synthesis, method of systematic research, and comparative-legal method were used in the study. The authors concluded that the institution of trust property goes back to one of the branches of English law. At the same time, the institution of trust is not inherent in the domestic legal system. However, since the 1990s, the domestic legislator has tried several times to introduce the relevant institution into Ukrainian legislation. So far, all of these attempts have failed.
Finite-Difference Time-Domain Simulation of Arbitrary Impedance using One Port S-Parameter
Authors: Kast Joshua , Elsherbeni Atef
Published: November 2020

Many modern radio-frequency devices comprise both lumped-element components and complex geometries. Simulation of such a device requires modeling the electromagnetic interactions with both geometric features and lumped components. We present a method for including arbitrary lumped-element components into finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. The lumped-element components, which are described by their scattering parameters, are modeled in the Yee grid as dependent voltage sources. The
mathematical formulation is described, along with its implementation into a FDTD simulator. For verification, simulation results of resistive, capacitive, and inductive loads are presented, and are compared to simulation results from previous lumped-element FDTD methods. This represents a first-step in modeling multiport networks described by their scattering parameters.
A Hybrid Approach on Metamaterial-Loaded Fractal Antenna Design
Authors: Prabhakar Dudla , Rajendra Babu C. , Adinarayana V. , Prasad V.
Published: November 2020

The paper provides the interoperable hybrid Grasshopper–Grey Wolf optimization (GHGWO) of the Square Split-Ring Resonator (SRR) metamaterial unit cell. This paper discusses the complex phase strategies of the electric and magnetic interplay of the charged microstrip line of the split ring resonator (SRR). Optimized unit of metamaterial cells for their bandwidth enhancement is packed into a new square fractal antenna. In the interim period of dual band efficiency, a new design is introduced for a microstrip line-feeding square fractal antenna with a faulty ground composition. In the second stage, a quasi-static SRR model is being used to streamline its structural parameters in an effort to reinforce the bandwidth so that optimized composition resonates at the required intensity area. In the GHGWO hybrid algorithm, SRR unit cell size limitations should be optimized and the convergence actions of the algorithm improved. Certain evolutions termed modified hybrid BF-PSO classical BFO, chaos PSO and IWO are being tested for efficiency of the Hybrid GHGWO algorithm. In the final stage, optimized SRR unit cells are stacked into a square fractal antenna that provides bandwidth output suited to wireless usages with upper and lower band. The prototype square fractal antenna without and with SRR unit cells is efficiently evaluated by trial results.

Published: November 2020

A non-planar electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structured antenna is proposed in this paper for wireless communication applications. The proposed design consists of coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed square patch antenna embedded with triangular EBG backing on FR-4 substrate material for 2.4 GHz (Wi-Fi, LTE) and 5.2 GHz (WLAN) applications. Gain is improved from 2.8 dB to 13.9 dB by adding EBG structure in the proposed antenna and the parametric analysis is done for optimizing the antenna performance characteristics. The proposed antenna provides a maximum efficiency of 82.5% in the resonating frequencies. The prototyped antenna is having good correlation with the simulation results obtained from Finite Element Method (FEM) based Anyss-HFSS. High Frequency Structure Simulator is used to analyze the antenna parameters and the simulated and measured results are correlating well with each other with a slight change in frequencies.

Standard or Sustainable - Which Offers Better Performance for the Passive Investor
Authors: Khajenouri Daniel , Schmidt Jacob
Published: November 2020

This research report studies the risk-adjusted performance of the major international
equity indices against their ESG screened equivalents (MSCI World, MSCI USA,
MSCI Emerging Markets, and MSCI Europe). The daily closing prices, returns,
standard deviations, and Sharpe ratio characteristics are analyzed from 2013 to 2020.
The current literature available from highly rated journals on the subject is also
considered, which provided mixed results on the subject matter. We found no
academic papers focusing specifically on analyzing the performance of indices and
their ESG screened equivalents. With this paper, we intend to fill this gap in the
current research available.
We conclude that for the passive investor, choosing ESG screened indices over the
conventional equivalent has consistently provided better risk-adjusted returns over
the long-term period. These findings are robust with the consistently higher Sharpe
ratios over the eight-year period for each index. We predict ESG investments may
continue to outperform due to changing retail and institutional investor preferences.
