Fear, Despair, Love, Hate, Peace: Riding the COVID-19 Rollercoaster
Authors: GÖK KAÇA Gökçen
Published: October 2022

In this autoethnographic self-study, the author explores the emotional challenges she encountered when teaching online during the COVID-19 outbreak and their impacts on her language teacher identity. Reflecting on her journey in the 2020-2021 academic year, the author discusses her shifting emotions and teacher identity transformation under five chronological but not linear stages: Expecting the Unexpected, Sink or Swim, Am I loving it?, Something is definitely wrong with my teaching and Everybody is right, everyone is a victim. The study highlights the role of democratic institutions in empowering teachers undertaking emotional labor in an effort to enhance the quality of education. It also calls for more self-reflexive opportunities for teachers to help them better make sense of and negotiate emotional challenges and exercise agency.

Even as prescription opioid dispensing rates have begun to decrease, the use of illicit opioids such as heroin and fentanyl has increased. Thus, the end of the opioid epidemic is not in sight, and treating patients that are addicted to opioids remains of utmost importance. Currently, the primary pharmacotherapies used to treat opioid addiction over the long term are the opioid antagonist naltrexone, the partial-agonist buprenorphine, and the full agonist methadone. Naloxone is an antagonist used to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. While these treatments are well-established and used regularly, the gravity of the opioid epidemic necessitates that all possible avenues of treatment be explored. Therefore, in this narrative review, we analyze current literature regarding use of the alternative medications ketamine, noribogaine, and cannabinoids in treating patients suffering from opioid use disorder. Beyond its use as an anesthetic, ketamine has been shown to have many applications in several medical specialties. Of particular interest to the subject at hand, ketamine is promising in treating individuals addicted to opioids, alcohol, and cocaine. Therapeutically administered cannabinoids have been proposed for the treatment of multiple illnesses. These include, but are not limited to epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain conditions, anxiety disorders, and addiction. The cannabinoid dronabinol has been seen to have varying effects. High doses appear to reduce withdrawal symptoms but this comes at the expense of increased adverse side effects such as sedation and tachycardia. Noribogaine is a weak MOR antagonist and relatively potent KOR agonist, which may explain the clinical anti-addictive effects. More research should be done to assess the viability of these medications for the treatment of OUD and withdrawal.

Authors: Dacko Aneta , Janus Sabina
Published: October 2022

Zjawisko drugich domów jest coraz szerzej dyskutowane w literaturze poświęconej rozwojowi obszarów wiejskich. Dotychczasowe badania wskazują zarówno na jego negatywne, jak i pozytywne aspekty dla rozwoju wsi. Autorki postanowiły zbadać to zjawisko poprzez wywiady przeprowadzone ze stałymi mieszkańcami popularnej pod względem turystycznym gminy Czernichów (województwo śląskie), w której liczba drugich domów stale rośnie. Głównym celem pracy było przedstawienie zjawiska drugich domów w ocenie społeczności gminy Czernichów. Na podstawie literatury przedmiotu zidentyfikowano pozytywne i negatywne skutki rozwoju drugich domów w kontekście funkcjonalno-przestrzennym oraz społecznym, które zweryfikowano w badaniu ankietowym opinii mieszkańców. Zdecydowana większość respondentów oceniła pozytywnie zjawisko drugich domów i jego wpływ na funkcjonowanie miejscowości. Pojawiły się również nieliczne opinie negatywne, które potwierdziły niejednoznaczny wpływ drugich domów na rozwój obszarów wiejskich. Niemniej jednak drugie domy w gminie Czernichów uzyskały wyraźną akceptację mieszkańców.

Authors: Kiełbasa Barbara
Published: October 2022

W artykule podjęto temat wykorzystania nowych metod komunikacji w edukacji dorosłych i doradztwie rolniczym na przykładzie Małopolskiego Ośrodka Doradztwa Rolniczego (MODR) w Karniowicach. Zakres tematyczny obejmuje formy i metody doradcze, funkcje doradztwa publicznego oraz systemy edukacji dorosłych. Celem pracy była identyfikacja możliwości zastosowania ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) w działalności doradczej, edukacyjnej i informacyjnej publicznej jednostki doradztwa rolniczego, a także określenie kryteriów oceny systemów kształcenia wykorzystujących ICT. Z analizy działalności MODR wynika, że w przypadku doradztwa indywidualnego i rozwiązywania pojedynczego problemu klienta preferowaną formą jest kontakt bezpośredni. Na podstawie przeprowadzanych badań można zauważyć rosnące znaczenie systemów kształcenia dorosłych na odległość (system zdalny lub hybrydowy). Oferta działalności szkoleniowej i informacyjnej uległa rozszerzeniu, nadal jednak istnieją dodatkowe możliwości. Dokonując wyboru systemu kształcenia dorosłych, należy wziąć pod uwagę wiele zmiennych określających ich skuteczność i efektywność (m.in. dostępne zasoby, kompetencje nadawcy i odbiorcy, plany działania i cele, wady i zalety danego systemu edukacji, koszt).

Published: October 2022

O desenvolvimento de materiais facilmente degradáveis ao fim da vida útil auxilia na redução do volume de resíduos sólidos dispostos nos aterros sanitários. Este estudo teve como objetivo produzir compósitos com o uso de resíduos de celulose e papel como fibras de reforço e amido termoplástico (TPS) como matriz, de modo a analisar o efeito da exposição ao intemperismo natural em ambientes distintos de duas universidades no Brasil (Universidade Feevale) e na Finlândia (Häme University of Applied Sciences — HAMK). No período de realização do ensaio, a estação no Brasil era verão, com elevadas temperaturas e radiação solar; já na Finlândia a estação era inverno, com temperaturas negativas, elevada umidade do ar e incidência de neve. Os materiais foram elaborados por meio do método tape-casting e caracterizados por análise dinâmico-mecânica (DMA) e análise termogravimétrica (TGA), tendo sido submetidos às intempéries por 0, 28 e 42 dias na Universidade Feevale e na HAMK e, ao fim de cada período, foram caracterizados por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e fotografias. Os resultados mostraram que a estabilidade térmica dos compósitos foi melhor em comparação a seus componentes individuais, e propriedades mecânicas superiores foram apresentadas pelo compósito à base de celulose. Assim, misturas heterogêneas surgiram com a adição de fibras à matriz polimérica. Após a exposição ambiental, a visualização das micrografias e fotografias revelou que as amostras expostas nos dois ambientes ficaram quebradiças, encolhidas, amareladas e apresentaram fissuras. Verificou-se, também, que as amostras expostas na Universidade Feevale sofreram maior degradação ambiental, e a incorporação das fibras nos compósitos retardou esse efeito nos dois pontos de estudo.

Authors: Ripke Marcia Orth , Lutinski Junir Antônio , Corralo Vanessa da Silva
Published: October 2022

Os agrotóxicos são contaminantes de natureza química que podem ser encontrados nos alimentos. Os de maior representatividade residual incluem os inseticidas, fungicidas e herbicidas. Objetivou-se analisar a presença de resíduos de agrotóxicos em alface (Lactuca sativa L.) comercializada em feiras livres. A pesquisa, com abordagem quantitativa e transversal, foi realizada em feiras livres de Chapecó/SC, com produtores feirantes de vegetais in natura e consumidores. Realizou-se, ainda, análise de resíduos de agrotóxicos em alface de cultivo convencional e orgânico. A coleta de dados constituiu-se na aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado a todos os produtores e a uma amostra de consumidores. As análises de resíduos de agrotóxicos foram realizadas em alface, por ser o alimento mais adquirido pelos consumidores. Os agrotóxicos pesquisados incluíram azoxistrobina, deltametrina, imidacloprido e glifosato, por serem os mais frequentemente utilizados nas propriedades e no cultivo de hortaliças. Dos 67 feirantes em atividade nas sete feiras livres, 30 eram produtores de hortaliças e frutas, e, deles, 17 eram produtores convencionais e 13 de orgânicos. As análises de resíduos de agrotóxicos em alface de produção convencional apresentaram resíduos de azoxistrobina e imidacloprido, porém abaixo dos limites máximos de resíduos permitidos pela Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa). Nas amostras de alface orgânica não foram detectados resíduos dos agrotóxicos pesquisados. Das análises de resíduos em alface, infere-se que o alimento é seguro quanto aos agrotóxicos pesquisados e que políticas públicas municipais devem priorizar o monitoramento sistemático, visando garantir a segurança dos alimentos e estimular a produção de alimentos orgânicos.
Brazilian truckers’ strike and particulate matter (PM10) concentration: Temporal trend and time series models
Authors: Nogarotto Danilo Covaes , Canteras Felippe Benavente , Pozza Simone Andrea
Published: October 2022

High particulate matter (PM) emissions from vehicular traffic impact air quality in urban areas. In 2018, a truckers’ strike interrupted some of the services in Brazil, leading to a fuel outage in several cities that significantly reduced the flow of vehicles. This study evaluated air quality during the strike in two cities (Limeira and Campinas) in Southeastern Brazil. PM10 concentration was analyzed in the periods before (BTS — 05/01/2018 to 05/22/2018), during (DTS — 05/23/2018 to 05/30/2018), and after (ATS — 05/31/2018 to 06/30/2018) the strike using the Theil-Sen method and the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average model with Exogenous Variables (ARIMAX). A reduction in the PM daily mean concentration in both cities occurred during the strike. Considering the daily peak time of vehicular flow (6:00 p.m.), the PM10 concentration was 20% higher in the BTS period compared to the DTS period for both cities. In comparison, the ATS period showed concentrations 17% (Limeira) and 7% (Campinas) higher when compared with the DTS period. The variations were statistically significant based on the time series models, and the influences of wind speed, rainfall on the sampling day and the day before sampling, and weekends were also evaluated. It was also possible to verify the contribution of the truckers’ strike to the PM10 concentration in the two cities evaluated. In Limeira, truck traffic had a greater influence on the concentration of PM10, while in Campinas, the contribution of trucks was like that of light vehicles. Based on the variation of the PM10 concentration, the influence of changes in vehicle emission dynamics, one of the main sources of emission in the regions studied, was observed. The results indicate that restricting vehicular traffic had an immediate impact on improving air quality. Therefore, public investment in other types of transport and traffic control policies are suggested.

In this article I am aiming on define Graffiti and unfolding the knot of confusion that whether it is eyeful art or eyesore vandalism. In layman language we can say that graffiti isan exercise of unlawfulpainting or writing any openly visual surfaces, butthis practice of marking or painting is not new infact it dates back to the beginning of society or civilization.Graffiti in its recent form is a shared or community artistic phenomenon that begun in 60s in Philadelphia and New York, and now has full-fledged spread into an international lobby. If we ever notice or focus on graffiti on the road sidesor on publicly visible surfaces,what kind of feeling do you get? either you feel amazed and admire the beauty of the art work or you will feel annoyed, discourage the work and consider it as vandalism, but the fact is that the definition of art is different according to different person(the beauty is in the eye of the viewer) and another fact is that a decent art work is rarely discouraged by anyone.

Mineral Economics and the Business of Mineral Supply
Authors: Doggett Michael
Published: October 2022

Editor’s note: The aim of the Geology and Mining series is to introduce early career professionals and students to various aspects of mineral exploration, development, and mining in order to share the experiences and insight of each author on the myriad of topics involved with the mineral industry and the ways in which geoscientists contribute to each.

The business of mineral supply comprises the costs, risks, and returns of converting natural capital to financial capital. As such, it represents the interface between economic geology and mineral economics. The traditional approach to studying mineral supply, however, is less an interface than a series of silos covering geologic, engineering, business, and social aspects of the conversion process. The challenges of meeting the ever-increasing demand for minerals and metals will require better communication and understanding across disciplines and stakeholder groups in order to mitigate discovery and development risks. For economic geologists, improved communication starts with an understanding of the essential economic tools and metrics that are used to assign value to projects and make decisions about their advancement toward production. Furthermore, economic geologists should recognize and build on the interface between the economic characteristics of valuations and the underlying geologic characteristics of deposits. The sizes and distribution of project cash flows are intimately linked to the underlying styles and distribution of mineralization within deposits. Understanding how geologic processes created and altered mineral deposits is incredibly useful in grasping the economics of undoing those processes to recover payable minerals and metals.

Authors:   Department of Food Science and Technology, Imo State University Owerri., Nwachukwu C.A.
Published: October 2022

The objective of this study was to determine the physical and sensory qualities of hydrocolloid treated 80:20 wheat-cassava composite bread. The study was limited to the use of various ratios of these hydrocolloids; carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), gelatin and egg white. The dough samples from the various wheat-cassava composite flour, treated with egg white, gelatin and CMC respectively and in combination were baked using the straight dough method. The physical parameters- loaf weight were carried out 20 mins after baking using laboratory scale and the readings recorded in grams, then the loaf volumes were determined using seed displacement methods and the loaf samples weighed in a laboratory balance. Sensory evaluations were conducted using forty member trained panelists who were drawn from usual bread consumers to evaluate the quality attributes of the loaves for crumb texture, taste, color, appearance and overall acceptance. All analyses were carried out in triplicate and the results were subjected to statistical analysis using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Regression analyses of the data were conducted. Significance differences among the means were established at 5% level of using Duncan’s multiple range tests. The results obtained showed significant differences (P<0.05) among some of the parameters analyzed; loaf weights, loaf volumes and sensory attributes. Thus, 80:20 wheat cassava composite flour bread samples treated singly with egg white, gelatin and carboxymethyl cellulose or their combinations as hydrocolloids had different degrees of acceptability. The 80:20 wheat-cassava composite flour treated with a combination of egg white, gelatin and carboxymethyl cellulose (EGCm) in respective ratio of 1:2:1 or 1:1:2, yielded breads with similar volumes (4.17-5.27cm3/g) as reference 90:10 (W-C) and control (100% wheat) flour.

Published: October 2022

Tree height is one of the basic variables which is used for estimation of growing stock, biomass, carbon stock and site quality. Measuring tree height is expensive, time-consuming, and error prone due to stand structure and efficiency of measuring instruments. Here, we try to explore the errors and efficiencies associated with Vertex, Abney’s level, and Laser Rangefinder for tree height measurement. Standing tree height was measured using all three instruments and the true height was determined with the careful measurement using linear tape after felling. In total 102 trees of Arunkhola community forest of Nawalpur districts were sampled. It was found that the Vertex (0.55 m) and Abney’s level (2.36 m) overestimated the tree height whereas, Rangefinder (-1.65 m) was underestimating. There was significant difference in errors for all the evaluated instruments at 95% confidence interval. However, there was no relation between true height and DBH with difference in measurement for all instruments. Average time required to measure individual trees was 4.15, 2.29 and 0.93 minutes for Abney’s level, Rangefinder, and Vertex respectively. It was estimated that efficiency for Vertex was 4.46 followed by Rangefinder with 22.69 by reflecting Vertex as the most precise and efficient instrument for measuring tree height.

Oil price forecasting has received a great deal of interest from both professionals and scholars because of the unique characteristics of the oil price and its enormous impact on a wide range of economic sectors. In response to this problem, the authors set out to develop a strong model for accurately predicting the Brent crude oil price. We employed the Linear Regression and Random Forest models to examine the market interrelationships present in the oil price time series. Next, the models are given weights such that the experimental time series can be accurately predicted. These errors are quantified in terms of root mean squared errors (RMSE), average errors (MAE), and average percentage errors (MAPE). Results and forecast accuracy of the model as compared to the other model. To maximize their output and order levels and reduce the negative impact of potential shocks, countries that produce and import crude oil benefit greatly from accurate crude oil price forecasts.

A country's economy and social structure are greatly influenced by the stock market. It is extremely difficult for investors, expert analysts, and scholars in the financial industry to forecast the stock market accurately because of the pretty unstable, parametric, non-linear dynamical, and unstable character of stock price time series. In the financial sector, stock market forecasting is a critical activity and a prominent study subject because stock market investments carry greater risk. It's conceivable, however, to reduce most of the risk through the development of computationally intelligent approaches. This paper introduces the support vector machine regression to make a model forecasting the stock market financial.

Some street signs have consistent shapes and pre-defined colors and fonts, such as traffic signs while others are characterized by their visual variability like shop signboards. This variations create a complicated challenge for AI-based systems to classify them. In this paper, the annotation of the ShoS dataset were extended to include more attributes for shop classification. Then, two classifiers were trained and tested utilizing the extended ShoS dataset. SVM showed great performance as its F1-score reached 89.33\%. The classification performance was compared with human performance, and the results showed that our classifier excelled over human performance by about 15\%. The results were discussed, so the factors that affect classification were provided for further enhancement.
Love, Betrayal, and Death
Authors: Liu Qian

What is the relationship between art and life, theatre and history? Two contemporary works, David Henry Hwang’s play M. Butterfly and Chen Kaige’s film Farewell My Concubine, raise this question with men’s cross-dressing performances of tragic heroines, which complicate different theatrical aesthetics and intertwine theater with fictionalized reality based on actual historical events. By presenting twists of characters’ real-life relationships entwined with Western and Eastern operatic fantasies, Hwang and Chen complicate the 19th-century European romantic opera cliché of “tragic women dying for love” and classical Chinese theatrical aesthetics of presentational performances. The intertwining of art and life, in evolving theatrical performances contextualized in the 20th-century history, reveals situations of irony in the lives of minor characters caught in grand historical movements. The cultural figures of tragic heroines allegorized by histories channel East and West in characters’ suspected betrayals and deaths, offering cultural translation and historical allegories. This paper examines how male characters perform tragic female roles to mediate their relationships to others and respond to given realities. Whereas previous discussions focus on general gender politics, my approach to the East-West tension through comparing aesthetic traditions and histories evolved in performances will offer the subtlety previously neglected. Reading through the lens of various crossings redefines the dichotomous East-West tension as a relationship of mutual inclusion and reveals the West’s underestimation of the East in the past decades. The undervalued theatrical power to replace reality at the end of both works enables us to read individuals’ operatic suicides as self-salvation and Hwang’s character Song’s survival, ironically, as a tragedy.

The article analyzes the problem of reducing the dependence of diesel engines on petroleum fuels and improving their performance through the use of alternative renewable fuels. It is shown that at this stage of the development of domestic alternative energy, it is more rational to use vegetable fuels in internal combustion engines. A procedure for optimizing the composition of a three-component biofuel mixture based on the results of studying the effect of its use in the D-240 diesel engine is presented. Regression equations for the dependence of the properties of three-component mixtures on their composition are obtained and isolines are constructed in barycentric coordinates of the triangular diagram "composition – property". It has been established that when the supply of a three-component biofuel mixture is changed, the diesel power changes from 31 to 55 kW. At the same time, significant differences in the compositions of the mixtures are noticeable when obtaining the same power range. Changing the ratio of ethanol and water at the inlet and vegetable oil into the combustion chamber changes the content of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases of a diesel engine in the range from 1.32 to 1.95 mg/l. When ethanol and inlet water and vegetable oil are supplied to the combustion chamber, the content of hydrocarbons in the exhaust gases varies from 0.01 to 0.1 mg/l. An analysis of the isolines plotted together on the simplex shows that at a power above 45 kW, the power and toxic performance of a diesel engine are primarily affected by nitrogen oxides. Increasing the permissible concentration of nitrogen oxides by only 0.07 mg/l significantly increases the area for obtaining power above 45 kW. The second in terms of the severity of imposing restrictions on obtaining high powers, and, consequently, on the composition of mixtures, is carbon black. The power range above 45 kW sharply increases with an increase in the allowable opacity of exhaust gases from 0.21 to 0.27 mg/l.

Knowledge of the operational properties of cars allows them to be effectively operated in various road and weather-climatic conditions and to develop an optimal strategy for the transportation of goods, taking into account their characteristics, as well as maintaining the operational properties of rolling stock, laid down in the design and production. Until now, there is no unified classification of working conditions for road transport. In this regard, various norms and standards (with an accuracy of ±30%) take into account the operating conditions. The absence of a single criterion for assessing working conditions and mechanized methods of their accounting largely hinder the process of optimizing the performance of road transport. Without solving this problem, it is impossible to improve significantly the management of road transport and create a system of calculated (scientifically based) norms and standards. On the basis of theoretical and experimental studies, the previously proposed classification was significantly improved. Its main difference is that as a single criterion that quantifies specific operating conditions, the average technical speed of the car is adopted and a mechanized method of accounting for road and transport conditions is proposed. According to this classification, the whole variety of working conditions is divided into four classes: road, transport, atmospheric-climatic conditions and culture of operation.
