Ana Blandiana. The Fantastic and the Revelations of Memory
Authors: Boldea Iulian
Published: October 2023

Ana Blandiana’s prose books have, right from the title, echoes, hints or suggestions of the fantastic. The epic is under the aegis of the oneiric imaginary, the atmosphere has a visionary tinge, the projections into the fabulous favouring immersions into the past through which the boundaries between the real and the fantastic prove to be fluctuating, evanescent and deceptive. The fantastic is not the fruit of the accumulation of events, scenes or details, it comes from the treatment of the setting, from the narration of a story that has the gift of blatantly contradicting the reader’s habits.
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864)
Authors: Ștefanovici Smaranda
Published: October 2023

Hawthorne, Nathaniel (1804-1864), an American novelist and short story writer, 19th century, wrote over 46 novels, short stories and sketches, although his reputation as a novel writer came very late, when he was approximatively 46 years old. Hawthorne is known today for his reference novels written in between 1850 and 1860, namely: The Scarlet Letter (1850), The House of the Seven Gables (1851), The Blithedale Romance (1852), and The Marble Faun (1860). A precursor of the psychological novel and of modern psychoanalysis, through the deepness of the introspection and the exploration of the soul’s cinematic resources, Hawthorne depicts the American imagination using the ‘romance’ literary genre, which allows him an allegoric and symbolic approach as analysis benchmarks of the human soul. The author is distinguished by the idealist romantic wing and from transcendentalism, whose optimism and exaggerated idealism he rejected. His inclination towards moral ambivalence and psychologic introspection and the approach of the organic theory concerning life’s duality made him reconsider the role of the individual in puritan society, appreciating the value of the human effort before Providence.
Teaching Academic Writing as a Method of Improving Communication Skills
Authors: Leon Laura Ioana
Published: October 2023

Writing for academic purposes should be a compulsory topic in any academic institutions that usually provide students with courses and modules devoted to the acquisition of Academic Writing Skills. Teaching about Academic Writing is not an easy task as it calls for some prerequisites. Among these we could mention a good command of the English language. Academic environments nowadays use the English language as the lingua franca, that is the medium to communicate. That would require, besides the above-mentioned excellent command of the English language, a broad perspective on how knowledge and information are shared in international academic contexts. Being culturally aware, a researcher would try to get their message across in such a way that their written texts would be as objective as possible, being emptied of any cultural features (that have in view the researcher’s cultural background). Nonetheless, the purpose of this paper is to show how academic writing may be regarded as another form of communication, this approach seeming to be a more effective one for students’ understanding of the problem. Writing is a complex process that requires special training. Looking at this problem from this perspective may actually make it easier for students to understand the basic principles of academic writing and, at the same time to realize that, by the end of the learning process they may become better communicators. Mastering good academic writing skills definitely shapes the way in which communicate in a beneficial way. Academic writing is about being able to share knowledge and information in a concise, logical way, being always aware of the progression of the argument and being able to adapt to any environment or audience.

Cultivating a Classroom Culture of Growth: Nurture the Power of a Growth Mindset
Authors: Kutasi Réka
Published: October 2023

One of the most frequent motivations for entering the teaching profession is the desire to assist students in succeeding in school and life (Heinz, 2015). But it can be challenging to design learning environments that motivate and keep students motivated. Students may start to doubt their skills and talents when they fail or encounter learning difficulties. Students sometimes see such academic losses as a sign that they are not “good enough” for specific subjects. A growth mindset is an effective technique that significantly impacts students’ performance. Teachers can assist students in developing the skills they need to overcome obstacles and succeed by fostering a growth mindset in the classroom. This article highlights the importance of a growth mindset for academic performance and gives examples of how teachers can encourage this mindset in their students. The present paper also encompasses a Dweck’s adapted questionnaire addressed to first, second and third-year students from the Pedagogy of Primary and Preschool Education study program within the ‘Petru Maior’ Faculty of Sciences and Letters, George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science, and Technology of Targu Mures, which highpoints students’ opinions regarding the advantages of having a growth mindset and the difficulties they have to overcome to achieve their goals. The paper also includes tactics teachers can employ to encourage a growth mindset in their students and students’ opinions regarding adopting a growth mindset.

Grape seed oil (GSO) is a rich source of unsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, and phenolic compounds that have been shown to affect physiological disorders associated with chronic diseases positively. The article demonstrates GSO’s chemical structure and health benefits, including its ability to alleviate oxidative stress, modulate cytokines, exhibit antimicrobial activity, and potentially prevent cancer. The review highlights the positive impact of GSO on livestock growth and products quality, particularly when combined with grape pomace in broiler and rabbits diets. Including grape seed extract in animals’ diets improved carcass traits under oxidative stress conditions. It may also help reduce total lipid levels and lower LDL cholesterol levels, benefiting heart health. The article emphasizes the need for more studies to better understanding of the optimal bioactivity of GSO and to determine the recommended doses of GSO for human consumption. The review suggests that GSO could be a promising natural feed additive for improving poultry health and product quality.

Published: October 2023

This research was carried out to evaluate the influence of cage tiers height on cloaca temperature, performance and egg quality of Isa-Brown laying birds. A total of One hundred and eight (108) Isa-Brown laying birds were selected from a healthy stock. The poultry house contained conventional battery cages arranged in a three-tier design. One unit of the battery cage made up of three (3) tiers with three (3) cells per tier was setup to accommodate three (3) birds per cell and a total of 27 birds per unit cage. This setup was replicated for three additional cage units. The performance of the birds was evaluated in terms of the egg weight, egg mass, feed conversion ratio, hen day production, and total feed consumed. The results revealed no significant (P >0.05) difference among cage tiers in terms of egg weight and feed conversion ratio but egg mass, hen day production and total feed consumed were significantly influenced. Highest egg mass (38.96g), highest Hen Day production (78.66%) and highest daily feed intake (99.01g) were recorded in birds raised in the upper tier of the cage. For the period of the study, cloaca temperature ranged between 36 °C and 41 °C. Cloaca temperature was not significantly (P >0.05) affected by cage tiers height. In comparison to layers raised in low-tier cages, those raised in high-tier cages had higher egg production and better feed efficiency. These findings suggest that cage tier heights play an important role in the production performance of laying hens but cloaca temperature was not affected. However, further researches on the effect of cage tiers height on cloaca temperature should be carried out in a controlled setting

Authors: Boushaki-Oudah Hanane , Ghozlane Mohamed Khalil , Lebied Mohamed , Ghozlane Faissal
Published: October 2023

This study was conducted at the ruminant station of the Technical Institute of Breeding Baba-Ali on the peri-partum period in ewes of the Rembi breed. It focused on the variations of some hematological and biochemical parameters of 7 ewes during 2 months (1 month before lambing and one month after). The blood samples were taken every 15 days, which were analyzed by blood count within the hour following the blood sampling, concerning the hematological parameters. Besides, for the biochemical parameters, the blood was centrifuged and the sera were frozen until the day of analysis. The results of the analysis using logicial R revealed nonsignificant variations (P >0.05) for the following parameters: White blood cells, Lymphocytes, Red blood cells, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, and Blood platelets. These results are contradictory to the results obtained in previous studies except for a study conducted on ewes of the Lacaune breed. Regarding the biochemical parameters, the variation was significant (P<0.05) for cholesterol, urea, and creatinine, but not significant for calcium, glucose and triglycerides (P >0.05). The results obtained are debatable from the results quoted by several authors, except for creatinine which was found to be much higher.
Model-free predictive current control of Syn-RM based on time delay estimation approach
Authors: Boussouar Mohamed Essalih , Chelihi Abdelghani , Yahia Khaled , Cardoso Antonio J. Marques
Published: October 2023

This paper investigates an optimal model-free control design for a synchronous reluctance motor (Syn-RM) with unknown nonlinear dynamic functions, parameter variations, and disturbances. The idea is to combine a predictive control with a time-delay estimation technique (TDE) in order to successfully deal with the system’s uncertainties and make the Syn-RM control scheme easy to implement in real-time. This model-free control strategy comprises two cascade control loops namely outer and inner loops. The outer loop is designed for the mechanical part of Syn-RM to ensure the convergence of the speed dynamics by using a proportional-integral controller while the inner loop is developed to control the uncertain dynamics of currents via an optimal robust controller. In the proposed current loop, the predictive control is enhanced by the inclusion of ultra-local model theory where dynamic functions and disturbances are estimated by instantaneous input-output measurements of the Syn-RM using the TDE approach. Moreover, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is also proposed to find the optimal design parameters to improve the dynamic performances of the closed-loop control system. Numerical validation tests of the proposed TDE-based model-free predictive current control (TDE-MFPCC) method are performed in the simulation environment of the Syn-RM system, and the results show the robustness and the effectiveness of the proposed TDE-MFPCC compared to the conventional model-based PCC.

Realization of a memcapacitance emulator utilizing a singular current-mode active block
Authors: Tatović Mihajlo , Petrović Predrag B.
Published: October 2023

This paper introduces a novel circuit design for a memcapacitance emulator, employing a single Voltage Differencing Current Conveyor (VDCC) as its core element. The emulator circuit has been intricately designed, employing only capacitors as grounded passive components. One remarkable aspect of these circuits is their inherent electronic tunability, allowing for precise control of the achieved inverse memcapacitance. The theoretical analysis of the emulator includes a comprehensive examination of potential non-idealities and parasitic influences. Careful selection of passive circuit elements has been made to minimize the impact of these undesirable effects. In contrast to extant designs cataloged in the existing literature, the presented circuitry manifests remarkable simplicity in its configuration. Furthermore, it exhibits a wide operational frequency range, extending up to 50MHz, and effectively clears the non-volatility criterion. To substantiate the efficacy of the devised circuits, comprehensive LTSpice simulations have been conducted, employing a 0.18 μm TSMC process parameter and a power supply of ±0.9 V. These simulations provide robust evidence of the emulator’s performance, reaffirming the feasibility and practicality of the proposed approach in the domain of memcapacitance emulation.

Published: October 2023

In this paper, the design methodology of a high-linearity wide-band transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for cable television (CATV) application is addressed. A simple four-stage topology is proposed to maintain a well-balanced linearity over a wide operating band. The regulated cascode (RGC) input stage is used to match an input impedance of 75 Ω, followed by a gain stage with enhanced bandwidth. The high-linearity output stage is able to drive the 75 Ω load directly with high output swing under a high supply voltage. The prototype is implemented with a standard 0.11μm CMOS process while occupying the silicon area of 0.034 mm2. The measurement results for the prototype show a peak gain of 76.6 dBΩ over a 3-dB bandwidth of 1.1 GHz with a considerably small gain ripple and an OIP
3 of 20.4 dBm. The whole test chip consumes 447 mW DC power and the measured average input-referred noise current spectral density is 7.9 pA Hz−1/2 up to 1 GHz.

Screening of Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents for the Recovery of Valuable Phenolics From Waste of Shalgam Juice Process
Authors: Toprak Pelin , Ünlü Ayşe Ezgi
Published: October 2023

Shalgam juice is one of the most popular non-alcoholic beverages in Türkiye and also in many countries. The high amount of production, regarding the high amount of consumption leads to an inevitable amount of solid waste.  This amount reaches to almost 12 million kg of fermented black carrot annually. The accumulation of this waste causes fatal environmental pollution. The waste of shalgam juice process, fermented black carrot, retains significant amount of valuable components, such as phenolics, flavonoids, and anthocyanins. In this study new generation green solvents, Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADESs) were screened for the extraction of valuable phenolics from fermented black carrot using ultrasound assisted extraction. The NADESs used were selected from four different groups such as acidic, sugar-based, choline chloride-sugar based and polyol-based. According to the results, the members of polyol and choline chloride sugar NADESs showed up. Choline chloride-glycerol (polyol group), extracted the highest total phenol amount (16.04 mg/g) and also provided the highest antioxidant activity (81.77%). On the other hand, NADESs belonging to choline chloride-sugar group were effective for the extraction of flavonoids and monomeric anthocyanins. Namely, choline chloride-fructose-water extract contained 21.45 mg/g of total flavonoids, while choline chloride-sucrose-water extract contained 1680.51 mg/kg of total monomeric anthocyanins. The performances of NADESs tested were found to be higher than that of water and ethanol showing the high yield recovery of valuable phenolics with NADESs. The results exhibited the significance of the components inside the waste. The remaining valuable content could be easily and efficiently extracted using NADESs and these extracts –as a mixture or after purification- can furtherly be used for different purposes in different fields, such as cosmetics, antioxidant preparations, etc, using a zero-cost waste as the input of the processes.

What Can Philosophy and the Cognitive Sciences Give Each Other?
Authors: Sushchin Mikhail Aleksandrovich
Published: October 2023

The article explores some possible ways of interaction between philosophy and the specific cognitive scientific disciplines: psychology, neurosciences, artificial intelligence, linguistics, and anthropology. The author draws on V.A. Lektorsky’s idea of the dialogue between philosophy and the cognitive sciences. Philosophy and the cognitive sciences engage in a productive dialogue in which their mutual enrichment, the strengthening or weakening of certain scientific or philosophical theories, and theoretical progress can occur. On the one hand, it is asserted that philosophy can have the greatest impact on the development of the cognitive sciences in the way of clarifying problems of the philosophy of science. These problems encompass the problem of the theoretical progress of cognitive studies, the problem of the nature of individual cognitivist theories (as well as the nature of groups of individual theories such as connectionism, predictive processing, etc.), the problem of the relationship of cognitive disciplines to each other, and more. In addition, philosophers can contribute to discussions concerning the foundations of the cognitive sciences and their key concepts of representation and computation. They can also play a significant role in assessing the ethical implications of the emergence of new cognitive technologies and neurotechnologies. On the other hand, the specific cognitive disciplines can provide new insights into traditional philosophical issues, like the problem of consciousness and the brain, the problem of free will, and enrich the philosophy of science with novel empirical data.

Authors: Felicia  , Jaya Michael
Published: October 2023

Pendahuluan: Nyeri sentral paska stroke (NSPS) merupakan nyeri neuropatik sentral yang timbul setelah terjadinya stroke. Kondisi ini ditemukan pada 1-12% dari penderita stroke dan umumnya terjadi dalam 6 bulan pertama setelah terjadinya stroke. Nyeri yang ditimbulkan pada NSPS dapat mengakibatkan penurunan kualitas hidup, menghambat proses rehabilitasi, serta menimbulkan keterbatasan aktivitas dan interaksi sosial.
Tujuan: Sebagai bahan pembelajaran yang membahas mengenai diagnosis, manifestasi klinis, patofisiologi hingga tatalaksana dari NSPS.
Metode: Penulisan artikel ini menggunakan metode tinjauan naratif sebagai bagian dari studi literatur.
Diskusi: Pasien dengan NSPS datang dengan gejala sensoris yang bervariasi mulai dari sensasi terbakar, tertikam, hingga tersengat listrik. Adanya allodinia, disestesia dan hiperalgesia merupakan manifestasi tersering yang ditemukan pada penderita NSPS. Patofisiologi dari NSPS masih belum diketahui secara pasti, namun dikatakan adanya disinhibisi, sensitisasi sentral dan kerusakan pada jalur spinothalamikus dan thalamus turut berperan dalam NSPS. Pendekatan tatalaksana pada NSPS dapat berupa terapi farmakologis maupun non farmakologis. Golongan antikonvulsan seperti gabapentin dan pregabalin, serta antidepresan seperti amitriptilin saat ini masih direkomendasikan sebagai terapi lini pertama. Sedangkan pada kasus NSPS yang refrakter, dapat digunakan terapi non farmakologis seperti deep brain stimulation dan motor cortex stimulation (MCS). Peripheral nerve block dalam beberapa laporan kasus juga memperlihatkan hasil yang menjanjikan, namun hal ini perlu ditelusuri lebih lanjut.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation and its resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics
Authors: Gozali Cynthia , Tjampakasari Conny Riana
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT
Introduction: An opportunistic pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacteria that causes acute and chronic human infections. By adhering to appropriate surfaces and creating a biofilm matrix, Pseudomonas aeruginosa has a high-resistance structure. Due to biofilm resistance mechanisms, this bacterial biofilm may increase natural antibiotic resistance. Antibiotics have difficulty penetrating the exopolysaccharide matrix that makes up the biofilm structure (Psl, Pe, alginate, and eDNA). Alginate is involved in generating mucus, and Psl and Pel components are implicated in biofilm development and antibiotic resistance. Due to the connection between biofilm production and antibiotic resistance, Pseudomonas aeruginosa involves mechanisms of beta-lactam antibiotic resistance.
Objective: On this basis, learning more about the connection between Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria's ability to form biofilms and their resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics is essential.
Methods: We use literature methods from various literature on the biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa and its resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, including research papers and studies with no restrictions types of studies included in this article.
Discussion: Pseudomonas aeruginosa has intrinsic and adaptive antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Decreased membrane permeability, the production of enzymes resistant to antibiotics, chromosomal changes, and horizontal gene transfer from other bacteria contribute to antimicrobial resistance. Beta-lactam antibiotic resistance mechanisms are known to be developed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The resistance characteristics of Pseudomonas aeruginosa may change phenotypically due to biofilm development. This article will be helpful in future research on Pseudomonas aeruginosa therapy and medication.

The identification of gait activities such as stair ascending and descending poses a significant challenge due to the proximity of data provided by the sensory pathway. Accurate identification of gait activities is crucial in conveying essential gait information to users for the recognition of human movement activities. However, gait patterns can vary significantly between individuals, making it challenging to develop a generalized algorithm for identifying incline surface gait activity. Factors such as walking speed, stride length, and body mechanics can all influence gait patterns, making it difficult to establish a consistent framework. Despite various research on gait event detection for level ground walking, the identification of gait activities on an inclined surface such as stairs, especially using smartphones as sensors, is currently lacking. The goal of this study is to investigate and develop a reliable and accurate method for detecting gait activities on an inclined surface such as stairs using smartphones as the sensing device. Specifically, this study focuses on investigating optimal placement of smartphones to extract tri- axis accelerometer data from the inertial sensors during stair movement. The inertial sensor data was collected from the smartphone at two different positions and two different orientations. The data was trained against 6 machine learning algorithms namely Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Neural Networks and KNN. It was observed that, by using Decision Tree and Random Forest algorithm 100% accuracy was achieved, when smartphone was placed at the thigh during stair movement. Successful identification of stair movement activity by using a smartphone can significantly contribute to future research and could also prove useful to the wider community such as amputees and those with pathological gait. In addition, since smartphones are available to a wide group of people, a low-cost solution for gait activity identification can be realized, without requiring the use of external sensors and circuitry.

The manufacturing industry is pushing forward with the smart machineries, linked networks, and a smart environment to enhance Big Data’s operations – gaining intelligence and actionable real-time insights for higher efficient and smart production. However, in many parts of the manufacturing industry, manual monitoring system is still the usual practice, especially the long-established plants that consist of legacy machines. The monitoring processes of the lines in Top Glove F31 such as recording the lines’ downtime duration, checking the source of the stoppage, transferring the data into spreadsheet, and analyzing the downtime of the lines are all being carried out by human operators. There is a high tendency for the workers to overlook the maintenance of the system because of this work practice, and it will contribute to higher unplanned downtime of the lines. Thus, this project proposes to design an automatic downtime monitoring system that consists of sensors, PLC’s programming, and IoT technologies that can decrease the dependency on workers and not prone to human mistakes to reduce the unplanned downtime of the lines and increase the efficiency of the system.
