Authors: González-Juárez Aníbal , Aguilar-Ramírez Ana María , Utrera-Zarate Alberto , Molina-Navarro Antonio
Published: February 2022

The Port de Veracruz and its surroundings are affected by meteorological phenomena such as the passage of frontal systems, among others. The main objective of this writing is to carry out continuous monitoring to categorize wind behavior, in order to determine patterns in the last 10 years. Therefore, climatological records of the intensity and direction of the average wind speeds are presented; wind data from three Automatic Meteorological Surface Stations (EMAS) of the Meteorological Observation Network of the Secretariat of the Navy, one of the National Meteorological Service (SMN) and two buoys of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) were processed and analyzed. The results indicated that the North (N) direction predominately governs during the cold front season, while the East (E) winds predominately govern during the warm months (June, July, August and September). The maximum gusts, which can be an important factor in accidents, especially when their intensity exceeds 20 knots, affect various human, maritime, agricultural and livestock activities and tourism.

A comparison was made between a fixed aerobic biological process and a physicochemical treatment for waste effluents with butyl acetate. An acrylic tank with 100 L capacity and a support medium for PET bottles was implemented for the formation of the biofilm and thus develop the biological reactor. In the experimental phase, concentrations of 10, 20 and 30% of butyl acetate containing sample, using hydraulic retention times of: (16, 8, 5.33 and 4 days) for each concentration. After the experimentation, a removal of 99% of COD and 97% of BOD was obtained. For the physicochemical treatment, coagulant, flocculant, and adjuvants were used, by a jar test. A decrease in 74%, 53.8%, 55%, 97% and 37%, for electrical conductivity, total suspended solids, color, turbidity, COD and BOD respectively, were obtained compared to the initial sample. Both treatments were filtered through a bed packed with activated carbon, sand, and silica gravel. The aim of this work was to evaluate / quantify butyl acetate removal efficiency in each treatment for its subsequent comparison, with prospect to the reduction of similar pollutants in residual effluents is intended.

Published: February 2022

Graphene has attracted a lot of attention in gas sensing applications for its high surface area ratio and unique chemical or physical gas adsorption ability. Being an important research method, theoretical calculations play a key role in both illustrating the gas sensing mechanism of graphene and improving the gas sensing performance of graphene-based sensors. This review discusses the application of adsorption isotherm theory and first-principles studies to graphene gas sensors. Different isotherm theories are presented, including Langmuir, Freundlich, BET, and Temkin isotherm models, and it is illustrated how to investigate the adsorption information from them. The first-principles analysis of graphene-based gas sensors is presented. In general, doping with transition metals and nonmetals can improve the sensitivity of graphene to gases. This review shows the significance of using theoretical calculations to design novel and efficient gas sensors. The theoretical results obtained so far can be of great help in designing novel and efficient graphene-based gas sensors.
Conscious and Unconscious Vision Transmission to Brain over Behavior
Authors: Nan Chu Narisa , E. Shelepin Yuri
Published: February 2022

Our goal is to apply historical evidence with longitudinal records of human underlining brain led behavior, to compensate for the findings based on conventional brain signal and image measurements taken at a resting position. This compensation, due to unconsciousness, is expected to play a major role in one’s decision making process. Using masks to distract vision, also measuring facial muscle movements, we were able to separate cognition through conscious and unconscious vision. Two types of masks are used over face image arrays under different cultural backgrounds to exercise 3 sequences of tests: (1) randomly generated masks anterior and posterior to target images; (2) Tai Chi Tu as masks, to take cognizance of longitudinal changes of the environment; (3) for each mask, contrasting European and Asian perception of facial emotional images. Our proposed approach is an attempt to investigate spatio-temporal effect about brain decision-making when historical evidence is considered to provoke the unconsciousness. Evidence and environmental influences over brain are commonly transmitted from vision. By masking vision at varying epoch, rates of longitudinal changes are examined for impact on perception, even when these rates have not been normalized for testing. Some justification of mask usage, its exposure duration and frequency are designed into our testing procedures for sensitivity studies. Significantly more testing is expected to understand the ambiguity between unconscious and conscious vision and to justify the proposed type of longitudinal changes on brain triggered behavior.
Measuring Electromagnetic Oscillatory Brainwaves and Networks: Methodological Considerations
Authors: Chen Chun-Chuan , J. Friston Karl , Lee Po-Lei
Published: February 2022

Ever since the first discovery of human brain waves in 1929, brain rhythm has been attracting interest in the field of neuroscience. The integration of distributed brain functions similar to small-scale circuits for the same task in a larger scale network which oscillations facilitate offers a means to study the brain at work. Importantly, changes in synchronized brain oscillations may reveal important aspects of pathophysiology. For example, excess beta rhythms are characteristic of Parkinson's brain. However, various spatial distributions and frequencies of neuronal oscillations and nonlinear and complicated neuronal processes make it difficult to understand neuronal messages, and it is needed to find an appropriate model. Thus, we present a brief review of techniques used in characterizing frequency-related local fluctuations and interactions between neuronal assemblies by measuring electroencephalography (EEG) or MEG. Specifically, we focus on the objectives of these methods, including: (1) inferential versus non-inferential, (2) linear versus nonlinear, (3) uni-versus multi-variate, and (4) power modulation versus phase-synchrony. Three practical issues – that are typically confronted when applying these methods – are also discussed. This article aims to provide readers who are not familiar with current methods an accessible overview – that may help the neuroscientists to interpret the similar findings of this study.

Celem artykułu jest analiza obecnej sytuacji powojennych modernistycznych zespołów zabudowy zlokalizowanych w naturalnym krajobrazie o szczególnych wartościach oraz wyróżnienie potencjalnych szans i zagrożeń na przyszłość. Analiza przeprowadzona została jako studium przypadku dwóch wyróżniających się kompleksów: dzielnicy uzdrowiskowej Ustroń Zawodzie oraz dzielnicy wczasowej Ustroń Jaszowiec. 

Modernistyczne dzielnice wypoczynkowe stanowią przykład kompleksowych projektów urbanistyczno-architektonicznych obejmujących nowoczesną, modernistyczną architekturę o ważnej roli społecznej, dostosowanej (skalą, technologią, formą) do warunków naturalnych oraz powstających w duchu poszanowania wartości krajobrazu (rozumianego w duchu modernizmu). Ich ochrona powinna wykraczać poza skalę pojedynczego obiektu architektonicznego, traktując jako punkt wyjścia postrzeganie dzielnic wypoczynkowo-uzdrowiskowych jako krajobrazu kulturowego.
Analiza składowych wartości zabytkowego zespołu miejskiego – podstawa programów i planów konserwatorskich
Authors: Szmygin Boguslaw
Published: February 2022

Najbardziej złożonym problemem w ochronie zabytków jest ochrona historycznych miast. Zasadniczym problemem jest konieczność pogodzenia wymagań konserwatorskich (ograniczenia przekształceń) z narastającymi potrzebami modernizacyjnymi. Miasto historyczne musi się modernizować, a więc konserwatorzy muszą określić przedmiot, formę i granice przekształceń. Konieczne jest zatem opracowanie metodologii, która pozwoli powiązać zabytkowe wartości zespołu z ich materialną reprezentacją. Dzięki temu będzie możliwe określenie elementów podlegających ochronie oraz elementów, które mogą być przekształcane.

Metodologia określania materialnej reprezentacji zabytkowych wartości została pokazana na przykładzie historycznego centrum Krakowa wpisanego na Listę Światowego Dziedzictwa UNESCO. Metodologia określania wartości (tzw. SMART VALUE) została wykorzystana w opracowaniu Planu Zarządzania Krakowa. Metodologia może być wykorzystana jako narządzie pomocne w zarządzaniu różnych grup zabytków, w szczególności o znaczącej wartości (przede wszystkim uznanych za Pomniki Historii lub dobra Światowego Dziedzictwa).

Aim: To evaluate the possible cytotoxic damage to the oral mucosal cells in healthy patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with clear aligners.
Materials & Methods: 20 patients who required orthodontic treatment were chosen. The rst set of aligners were fabricated for each patient using
a PETG material. Patients were instructed to wear the aligners for 22 hours a day for 15 days. Buccal mucosal cells were sampled at two time
intervals T0- pre treatment and T1- after 15 days and were immediately smeared onto a clean glass slide. The smears were immediately xed in
isopropyl alcohol, following which the slides were hydrated with distilled water, stained with the Papanicolaou method and subjected to
cytomorphometric analysis. The two samples obtained at T0 and T1 for each patient were compared to check for an increase in number of
micronucleated cells. Student Paired t Test was used to compare the mean micronuclei count between pre and post treatment.
Results: The mean Micro Nuclei count in the post treatment period was signicantly higher (4.50 ± 1.96) as compared to pretreatment period (3.10
± 1.73) with a mean difference of -1.40 at P=0.007.
Conclusion: Within the experimental limits of this study the PETG material used for fabrication of aligners resulted in a change in the nature of
buccal mucosal cells with an increase in the number of micronuclei which is an indicator for cytotoxicity. The PETG material may have a cytotoxic
effect on the cells of the oral mucosa.

Published: February 2022

The second wave of COVID-19 in India was associated with higher incidence of Mucormycosis. We report a rare case of 40-year-old Asian male,
with Type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented with bilateral sudden loss of vision, ptosis, proptosis, total ophthalmoplegia and central retinal artery
occlusion.
Computed tomography followed by magnetic resonance imaging was suggestive of bilateral sinusitis, orbital cellulitis, optic neuritis and gross
intracranial involvement.
Considering his general condition and guarded prognosis for survival, exenteration was deferred. After detailed literature research, we found very
few reports of bilateral orbital involvement in cases of COVID-19 associated ROCM.
Even after early diagnosis and prompt treatment of ROCM, patient succumbed to the illness. Covid 19 associated bilateral rhino-orbital-cerebral
mucormycosis may be a marker of mortality in the affected population.
Phase-Based Impedance Control of a Powered Knee-Ankle Prosthesis for Tuning-Free Locomotion over Speeds and Inclines
Authors: Best Thomas , Welker Cara , Rouse Elliott , Gregg Robert
Published: February 2022

Most impedance-based walking controllers use a finite state machine (FSM) with dozens of user-specific parameters that need to be manually tuned by technical experts. These parameters are only optimal near the task (\eg walking speed and incline) at which they were tuned, resulting in decreased performance as task inevitably varies. This paper presents a tuning-free, phase-based controller that uses a hybrid combination of continuously-variable impedance control during stance and kinematic control during swing to enable biomimetic locomotion over a continuum of tasks. After generating a data-driven model of variable joint impedance with convex optimization, we implement a novel task-invariant phase variable and real-time estimates of speed and incline to enable the controller to autonomously adapt to task variation. Experiments with an amputee participant using a powered knee-ankle prosthesis show that our tuning-free controller 1) features highly-linear phase estimates and accurate task estimates, 2) produces more biomimetic joint work trends compared to a hand-tuned FSM impedance controller, and 3) achieves lower kinematic and kinetic error than the FSM impedance controller in 7 of 8 tested metrics. Our data-driven control approach may allow easier clinical implementation of variable-activity powered knee-ankle prostheses by replicating biological behavior across tasks without expert tuning.

Automation of creation bibliographic description of dissertation abstracts
Authors: Kuznetsov Oleksandr
Published: February 2022

The article deals with the optimization of the cataloging process of dissertation abstracts at the State Scientific and Technical Library (SSTL) of Ukraine. Automation of entering bibliographic descriptions of dissertation abstracts into the database is based on the fact that according to the current rules a bibliographic description of the publication is created from the title page. However, abstracts do not have a cover sheet, so the main information is taken from the cover. According to the rules for composing a thesis abstract, the title page is designed so that each paragraph contains certain bibliographic information.
The process of automating the creation of a bibliographic description of abstracts, in fact, involves the programmatic placement of indices of division in the text from the covers of these documents, which facilitates their further import into the relevant database.
The analyzed automated abstract introduction process was developed with the help of VBA software for Word and tested in the Scientific Research and Development Fund department of the SSTL.

Published: February 2022

Faced with the problem of providing a balanced mineral nutrition to tomato plants in order to strengthen them to better resist viruses, this work proposed to study the effectiveness of fertilizers in the sustainable management of these in South Togo. Five fertilizers were tested on five tomato cultivars namely Caraïbo, Mongal F1, Petomech, Tropimech and Adakamenou during two great rainy seasons (GRS) of 2019 and 2020 following the split-plot design with fertilizers in main plots and cultivars in secondary plots. Weekly observation of virus incidence and severity according to a rating scale (1-5) indicated a very highly significant effect (P < 0.001) under the cultivars for both experiments. Caraïbo, Mongal F1 and Adakamenou were the least susceptible cultivars to virus diseases. Fertilizers only significantly impacted cultivar susceptibility to virus diseases in GRS 2019 where virus disease incidence was low and statistically identical (22.80%; 22.67%) under organic T2 manure (10 t ha-1 of manure) and low dose organo-mineral T3 manure (38 kg N, 15 kg P2O5, 15 kg K2O ha-1 and 5 t ha-1 of manure). The effect of fertilizer-cultivar interactions on virus severity was significant (P < 0.05) in 2020 and very highly significant (P < 0.001) in 2019. The organomineral manure used at a low dose seems to be the best strategy for reinforcing the obtaining of satisfactory fruit yields.

However, the outbreak and spread of the Covid-19 has affected the small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs), the basic unit of economic expansion. As the pandemic continues to ravage the country, SMEs are struggling to survive due to decline in the volumes of production and harsh market condition increase with its severe effects on the population. This study intends to investigate the sound effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on small business owners in Akoko South West Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria. The research method employed is a descriptive research design of the survey type. The choice of this method is based on the fact that it focuses on people, event or phenomenon. The population for this study consisted of small business owners and simple random sampling techniques was used to select the respondents from five (5) communities under Akoko South West Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria. The study area is given academic attention due to strategic location for socio-economic advancement. The data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Frequency counts and percentage were used on the three research questions raised while chi-square was used on the two hypotheses. The findings of this study revealed that in hypothesis one, there are no significant effects of the Covid-19 lockdown on small business owner, because the p-value of each of the items is less than 0.05 (p<0.05) and, therefore, rejected. To inferred that there is a significant effect of the Covid-19 lockdown on small business owner, the hypotheses two revealed that there was no significant difference in the opinion of male and female business owners on the effects of the Covid-19 lockdown on small business owners (t (148) = 1.103; p>0.05). Therefore, the effects of the Covid-19 lockdown on small business owners were not rejected.

Introduction: To provide quality care at the end of life of chronically sick patient’s nurses must have good knowledge and practice about Palliative care because they are the key member of health team who typically has the greatest contact with patient’s problem. When a patient enters the end stage of life threatening disease like Cancer, treatment of pain and other symptoms must be considered to preserve quality of life. Nurse’s expertise is essential in providing physical and emotional care to the patient and family and in organizing the patient’s environment to minimize burden and control of suffering. Nurses provide better care in all health care setting to all groups of peoples according to situation but there is scarce data on the relative field. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to observe association of social characteristics with knowledge and practice of pain management among nurses. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the palliative care units of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), National Institute of Cancer Research Hospital (NICRH), Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), and Ahsania Mission Cancer & General Hospital, Dhaka. The study duration was one year, from 1st January to 31st December, 2020. The study was conducted with a total of 112 nurses working at the palliative care Units of the study hospitals.

Hemodiafiltration on-line (HDF OL) cannot be considered sufficiently studied in terms of its effect on the outcome. THE AIM. To identify the possible relationship of individual anthropometric, laboratory data and parameters of the prescribed treatment regimen with better survival when using the HDF OL. PATIENTS AND METHODS. A retrospective study of the EuCliD database of patients treated with HDF OL in 27 Fresenius Medical Care centers in the Russian Federation during 2014 was conducted. All patients received postdilution HDF OL procedures at least 3 times a week, lasting at least 12 hours a week, with adequacy of Kt/V procedures of at least 1,4. Data from survivors (9616) and deceased (370) patients were compared. The analyzed indicators were: gender, age, treatment experience, body weight, body mass index (BMI), body surface area (BSA), total body water volume (TBW), the volume of distribution (V Urea BCM), presence of diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, heart failure, as well as the parameters of the procedure: effective weekly dialysis time, Kt/V, effective in-fusion volume (EIV), effective convection volume (ECV). RESULTS. Risk factors for death in patients with CKD 5D treated with HDF OL include male gender, older age, con-comitant diseases, lower body weight, and BMI, shorter effective weekly dialysis time, lower EIV and ECV values, Kt/V, higher hypercalcemia, hypoalbuminemia, lower hemoglobin levels, higher b2-microglobulin levels, and CRP. Сomparing the normalized BMI, BSA, TBW, V Urea BCM indicators, we identified those that were associated with a high risk of mortality in the population of dialysis patients. CONCLUSION. As a result of this work, two normalized ratios were identified (the median ratio of effective infusion volume to body surface area and the median ratio of effective convection volume to body surface area), which were associated with a high risk of mortality in the population of dialysis patients.

THE AIM: to evaluate the effect of a high-salt diet on the level of miRNA expression in urine and the mechanisms of endothelium-dependent vascular dilatation in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 20 Wistar rats were divided into two equal groups. The high salt (HS) group received 8 % NaCl in the diet, the control (NS) received the standard diet (0.34 % NaCl). After 4 months, blood pressure (BP), left ventricular mass index (IMLV) were assessed in rats, and relative expression levels of miRNA-21, miRNA-133, and miRNA-203 were determined in urine. The reactivity of the rings of the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) to acetylcholine (ACh) was assessed in vitro in isometric mode. RESULTS: there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of mean blood pressure (p> 0.05). However, in HS-rats an increase in IMLV was noted. The relative levels of expression of miRNA-21, miRNA-133, and miRNA-203 in the urine of rats fed a high-salt diet increased significantly as compared to the values of control animals. A high-salt diet resulted in a decrease in the reactivity of vascular segments precontracted with phenylephrine to ACh. A high-salt diet resulted in a decrease in the reactivity of vascular segments precontracted with phenylephrine to ACh. In the HS-group, the decrease in the amplitude of vasodilation under the action of ACh under conditions of blockade of NO-synthase (with the use of L-NIO) was less compared to the reaction in the absence of the blocker, than the NS-group: in the SMA of the HS group – by 45 %, NS group – by 69.4 %, in the aorta HS-group – by 49.4 %, NS-group – by 80.7 %. In contrast to the aorta, blockade of Ca2+-sensitive K+-channels in SMA (under the conditions of administration of tetraethylammonium, TRAM-34, or apamin) weakened ACh-induced relaxation, and in HS-rats, the decrease in vasodilation was more pronounced. CONCLUSION: consumption of a high-salt diet, without changing blood pressure, increases IMLV and the level of miRNA expression in the urine, and also reduces endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation, mediated, in particular, by impaired endothelial NO production, which is more pronounced in the aorta than in the SMA.
