The structure characteristic and polyfunctionality of humic substances makes it possible to obtain new products by chemical modification. The aim of this work is to study the regularities of sodium humate modification processes with phosphogypsum and phosphogypsum with polyacrylamide (PAA) mixture, to establish the composition and properties of obtained organomineral composite materials. Methods. Chemical analysis, infrared spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Results and discussion. The possibility of obtaining new types of products by modifying sodium humate with phosphogypsum and its mixture with PAA is shown. The dependence of the composition and properties of obtained organomineral composite materials on the modifier nature has been revealed. The chemical modification has been shown to increase the content of COOH groups to 0.24 mg-eq/g, phenolic OH groups to 1.83 mg-eq/g, total pores to 0.44 cm3/g, static exchange capacity to 27.25 mg-eq/g, P2O5 to 1.34%, nitrogen up to 1.71% and the humic acid yield - up to 42.83%. The reaction between sodium humate and phosphogypsum proceeds leads to an increase in the content of total, digestible and water-soluble forms of P2O5. Conclusion. It has been established that the use of phosphogypsum for humic substances modification contributes to the phosphorus production waste processing. Organo-mineral materials obtained by modifying sodium humate acquire growth-stimulating, fertilizing, reclamation, water-retaining, and sorption properties. The complexity and multi-component composition of synthesized compositions is determined by DTA, IR, SEM methods. It has been shown that when sodium humate is modified with phosphogypsum, ion exchange reactions and complex formation occur.

Despite more specific and sensitive cardiac biomarkers, creatine kinase isoenzyme creatine kinase-muscle/brain (CK-MB) in serum or plasma is still an important parameter for diagnostics of the origin of CK elevations and for disease monitoring. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of varying doses of coconut milk, coconut water, Vernonia amygdalina (bitter leaf) and Prosopisafricana on creatine kinase. Fifteen adult male rabbits weighing between 1.5kg-2.5kg were divided into five groups of three rabbits each. Group 1 was the reference/control group which received no extract, while groups 2,3,4 and 5 received 5ml/kg per body weight (b.wt) of coconut milk, coconut water, bitter leaf and P. africana extracts respectively. Results obtained revealed that creatine kinase concentration in group 2 was significantly (p<0.05) increasedcompared to the control for the 10, 20, and 30 days of administration respectively. Groups 3, 4and 5 showed a significant decrease for the first 10 days. Although, group 3 shows an increase within 20 and30daysadministration as compare to the control. Also creatine kinase concentration shows no significantly difference in group 4 and 5 at 20 days administration but an increase after 30 days administration. Phytochemical studies on P. africana and V. amygdalina revealed the presence of bioactive components comprising alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, steroids and glycosides. The bioactive compounds may be responsible for the medicinal property of these plants that form the basis of their use in herbal medicine.

Published: October 2023

O presente artigo trata sobre a compreensão e a transformação da mentalidade como estratégias fundamentais para o crescimento pessoal e profissional. O material foi fundamentado através da metodologia de levantamento bibliográfico, com objetivo de discutir sobre a identificação das características intrínsecas da própria mentalidade, sejam alinhadas a mentalidade fixa ou de crescimento, demanda uma maior autoconsciência, aprimoramento da inteligência emocional e a disposição para questionar e revisar crenças e pressupostos enraizados. Ao promover a mentalidade de crescimento exigisse a implantação de várias estratégias eficazes. Nas quais, destacam-se a autorreflexão, a mudança de atitude coerente com os objetivos propostos, e o entendimento do propósito central que impulsiona as ações e decisões. Tais processos envolvem o aprimoramento das habilidades de liderança, a capacidade de estabelecer conexões empáticas e autênticas, e o discernimento para compreender o 'porquê' por trás das motivações e escolhas. Além disso, o conceito de antifragilidade, surge como um elemento crítico na construção da mentalidade de crescimento. A antifragilidade é caracterizada pela habilidade de se beneficiar do caos e da mudança, tornando-se mais robusto e capaz diante de situações de instabilidade e incerteza. Conclui-se que, a transformação da mentalidade pode proporcionar uma série de benefícios, incluindo o aumento da resiliência e adaptabilidade, e a capacidade de tirar proveito das mudanças e do caos. Portanto, a transformação da mentalidade não se resume apenas a ajustar atitudes, mas é um caminho de autodescoberta e crescimento contínuo que prepara o indivíduo para enfrentar com sucesso os desafios presentes e futuros.

Estudar o processo da gestação inclui analisar a história de diversas mulheres inseridas em contextos diferentes. Apenas pelo fato de a gravidez ser desejada ou não ou da gestante possuir ou não uma rede de apoio, por exemplo, pode influenciar significativamente na aceitação do processo e exigir da equipe de saúde um manejo individualizado. Além de um bom acompanhamento do período pré-natal, é extremamente importante que a mãe e o recém-nascido continuem recebendo amparo frequente por parte de uma equipe de saúde. Estratégias de promoção à saúde (especialmente da mulher primigesta) podem afetar positivamente a saúde da mulher e do recém-nascido. Logo, esta revisão narrativa de literatura reuniu artigos da base de dados PUBMED objetivando apontar as principais alterações apresentadas no período do puerpério. Concluiu-se que as principais alterações incluem a reestruturação corporal, especialmente da região abdominal, pélvica e do útero da mulher. Não obstante, cada caso possui sua peculiaridade e deve ser tratado de maneira individualizada, abrangendo os aspectos gerais do período. Deve-se considerar a importância de um acompanhamento psicológico para evitar ou tratar precocemente a depressão pós-parto.
Patrimônio cultural em territórios metropolitanos: novos aportes para sua compreensão
Authors: Da Silva Schicchi Maria Cristina
Published: October 2023

A Região Metropolitana de Campinas (RMC), cuja sede é Campinas, é formada por um conjunto de cidades médias e pequenas, onde as relações de identidade e pertencimento não mais se estabelecem dentro de divisas municipais, ressaltando-se a ocorrência de uma rede de relações sociais em estreita vinculação com a especialização/concentração de atividades no território. Há uma semelhança nos processos de constituição física, do tecido social e da dinâmica atual das cidades que entrelaçam, de forma complexa e diacrônica, uma variedade de referências culturais (materiais e imateriais). Disso decorreu a hipótese de que a compreensão de um conjunto de cidades alinhadas por vetores de crescimento e expansão da região, historicamente constituídos, possibilitariam novas perspectivas para a discussão do patrimônio cultural. Nesse artigo são apresentados os resultados do estudo de um dos sete vetores, onde foi possível revelar uma nova estruturação baseada nas relações de identidade e pertencimento e suas referências culturais associadas.
Cartografias temporárias da cidade de Natal-RN

Published: October 2023

À medida que nos distanciamos dos espaços públicos da cidade perdemos qualidades essenciais à manutenção da vida coletiva, dos direitos sociais adquiridos e manifestados nas ruas. Esse distanciamento tem se afirmado na cidade moderna, promovendo uma alienação no modo dos indivíduos usarem e se relacionarem com os distintos lugares no espaço. Nesse contexto, de desfragmentação do convívio citadino e da afirmação da fluidez das novas relações, a imposição dos princípios neoliberais tem se mostrado como um dos indutores onde, por meio de processos que orientam a mercantilização da vida, regulam desde o campo político e socioeconômico as expressões culturais e a construção das cidades. Em oposição, novas possibildades de uso e apropriação do espaço surgem e revelam outras possibilidades de se intervir na cidade de forma coletiva e menos padronizada. Essas ações, também chamadas táticas, são aqui tratadas como intervenções temporárias e foram caracterizadas pela sua temporalidade efêmera, pela participação coletiva e capacidade de transformar os espaços da cidade, ainda que por períodos determinados, em lugares de acolhimento e livre expressão da cultura. Neste artigo, busca-se compreender as relações dessas estratégias materializadas nos espaços livres públicos com a democratização do acesso à cidade a partir de uma discussão estruturada em quatro partes: introdução, reflexão teórica, análise do campo empírico por meio de cartografias sociais e entrevistas, tomando como base quinze intervenções mapeadas na cidade de Natal-RN, e as considerações finais.

Methane emissions due to reservoir flushing: a significant emission pathway?
Authors: Lessmann Ole , Encinas Fernández Jorge , Martínez-Cruz Karla , Peeters Frank
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Reservoirs represent a globally significant source of the
greenhouse gas methane (CH4), which is emitted via different emission
pathways. In some reservoirs, reservoir flushing is employed as a sediment
management strategy to counteract growing sediment deposits that threaten
reservoir capacity. Reservoir flushing utilizes the eroding force of water
currents during water level drawdown to mobilize and transport sediment
deposits through the dam outlet into the downstream river. During this
process, CH4 that is stored in the sediment can be released into the
water and degas to the atmosphere, resulting in CH4 emissions. Here, we
assess the significance of this CH4 emission pathway and compare it to
other CH4 emission pathways from reservoirs. We measured seasonal and
spatial CH4 concentrations in the sediment of Schwarzenbach Reservoir,
providing one of the largest datasets on CH4 pore water concentrations
in freshwater systems. Based on this dataset we determined CH4 fluxes
from the sediment and estimated potential CH4 emissions due to
reservoir flushing. CH4 emissions due to one flushing operation can
constitute 7 %–14 % of the typical annual CH4 emissions from
Schwarzenbach Reservoir, whereby the amount of released CH4 depends on
the seasonal timing of the flushing operation and can differ by a factor of 2. Larger flushing events that mobilize deeper sediment layers lead to
non-linear increases in CH4 mobilization. This suggests that regular
flushing of smaller sediment layers releases less CH4 than removal of
the same sediment volume in fewer flushing events of thicker sediment
layers. However, additional indirect CH4 emissions pathways
contributing to the total CH4 emissions may vary with the flushing
operation. In other reservoirs with higher sediment loadings than
Schwarzenbach Reservoir, reservoir flushing could cause substantial CH4
emissions, especially when flushing operations are conducted frequently. Our
study recognizes CH4 emissions due to reservoir flushing as an
important pathway, identifies potential management strategies to mitigate
these CH4 emissions and emphasizes the need for further research.

Abstract. In recent years, the existence of perennial firn aquifers in the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) has been confirmed by in situ observations. Previous studies have suggested that these subsurface aquifers, together with meltwater ponds at the surface, provide a reservoir of liquid water to feed propagating fractures, promoting hydrofracture-driven ice-shelf disintegration. This study maps perennial firn aquifers in the AP from space using C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery from ESA's Sentinel-1 (S1) mission. With these observations, we detect firn aquifers at 1 km × 1 km resolution, for the period 2017 to 2020. Existing methods, that use S1 data and rely on a backscatter intensity difference threshold approach, are prone to misclassify late-melt events as aquifers, when applied to the AP. Therefore, we have developed and evaluated a new approach that is better suited to the Antarctic environment. The new method exploits the characteristic, gradual backscatter increase during the (partial) refreezing of the liquid water in the firn layer after the peak of the melt season. Most firn aquifers are detected in the north and northwest of the AP, as well as on the Wilkins and George VI ice shelves. Aquifer locations detected with the present methodology agree with in situ observations and with model simulations of firn water content.
Understanding the drivers of near-surface winds in Adelie land, East Antarctica
Authors: Davrinche Cécile , Orsi Anaïs , Agosta Cécile , Amory Charles , Kittel Christoph
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Near-surface winds play a crucial role in the climate of Antarctica, but accurately quantifying and understanding their drivers is complex. They result from the contribution of two distinct families of drivers: large-scale pressure gradient, and surface-induced pressure gradients known as katabatic and thermal wind. The extrapolation of vertical potential temperature above the boundary layer down to the surface enables us to separate and quantify the contribution of these different pressure gradients in the momentum budget equations. Using this method applied to outputs of the regional atmospheric model MAR at a 3-hourly resolution, we find that the seasonal and spatial variability of near-surface winds in Adélie Land is dominated by surface processes. On the other hand, high temporal variability (3-hourly) is mainly controlled by large-scale variability everywhere in Antarctica, except in the coastal area. In these coastal regions, although the katabatic acceleration surpasses all other accelerations in magnitude, none of the katabatic nor large-scale accelerations can be identified as primary drivers of near-surface winds variability. Strong wind speed events in coastal Antarctica are driven by both katabatic and large-scale accelerations, as well as the angle between them.
Increasing seasonal variation in the extent of rivers and lakes from 1984 to 2022

Published: October 2023

Abstract. Knowledge of the spatial and temporal distribution of surface water is important for water resource management, flood risk assessment, monitoring ecosystem health, constraining estimates of biogeochemical cycles and understanding our climate. While global scale spatial-temporal change detection of surface water has significantly improved in recent years with planetary scale remote sensing and computing, it has remained challenging to distinguish the changing characteristics of rivers and lakes. Here we analyze the spatial extent of permanent and seasonal rivers and lakes globally over the past 38-years based on new data of river system extents and surface water trends. Results show that while the total permanent surface area of both rivers and lakes has remained relatively constant, the area with intermittent seasonal coverage has increased by 12 % and 27 % for rivers and lakes, respectively. The increase is statistically significant in over 84 % of global water catchments based on Spearman rank correlations above 0.05 and p values less than 0.05. The results of our analysis are shared as the Surface Area of Rivers and Lakes (SARL) database, which contributes to improved understanding of the hydrological cycle and management of water resources.

Oral rehydration solution (ORS) for fasting doping: Examining the Twitter data in Indonesia
Authors: Kusuma Ikhwan Y. , Bahar Muhammad A.
Published: October 2023

Oral rehydration solution (ORS) or oralit is a sugar and salt-based solution that restores electrolyte balance, counters dehydration and mitigates metabolic acidosis. In Indonesia, particularly during the month of Ramadan, the use of ORS as a form of fasting doping has become increasingly prevalent. This study aimed to analyze the patterns of communication, key influencers, and sentiment within the Twitter network in Indonesia regarding the use of ORS as fasting doping. From March 15 to March 26, 2023, Twitter data was collected using NodeXL software. The dataset was then analyzed using NodeXL and Gephi software to identify key influencers and patterns within the network. To assess attitudes towards the use of ORS as fasting doping expressed in tweets, sentiment analysis was conducted using Azure Machine. The dataset consisted of 13,746 tweets, from which the analysis revealed that Twitter discourse concerning the use of ORS as fasting doping demonstrated a diverse range of individuals. The top five users with the highest betweenness centrality scores were medical doctors, mention and confess (menfess) accounts, and personal accounts. The sentiment analysis of the collected tweets unveiled a relatively high negative sentiment toward the use of ORS for fasting purposes. Notably, the proportion of positive and neutral sentiments were comparable. Our data indicate that ORS use as fasting doping is controversial in Indonesia. Most tweets express concerns about misuse and negative consequences, indicating a need for guidance and regulation from public health authorities. Further research and guidelines are necessary to ensure the safe and appropriate use.

Published: October 2023

Hepatoblastoma is one of the most common primary malignant liver tumors in children. The incidence of hepatoblastoma has been increasing, reaching 1.2 per million children now. The transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) procedure is one of the most practical and effective treatment options besides surgery. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is performed as the first step of the TACE procedure. The aim of this study was to provide information about the feeding arteries and enhancement pattern of the hepatoblastoma that was assessed by DSA before the TACE procedure. A retrospective study was conducted among hepatoblastoma cases that had undergone DSA on the TACE procedure to obtain information on the vascularity of the tumor. A total of 26 hepatoblastoma cases who had DSA examination as a part of their first TACE procedure were included, consisting of 15 boys and 11 girls, aged between 1–15 years. All cases were stage III and IV according to the Pre-Treatment Extent of Tumor (PRETEXT) staging classification. All hepatoblastoma cases had multiple feeding arteries, most of which were branches of the right hepatic artery. The largest diameter of the feeding artery was 1.82 mm, and the smallest was 0.63 mm. Most cases (84.62%) had strong contrast absorption, and spread evenly, either at the edges or in the center of the tumor. DSA is believed to be an accurate procedure to provide a detailed description of the feeding artery; enhancement patterns of hepatoblastoma were influenced by an adequate TACE.

Authors: Grigoryan L.G. , Hakobyan A.R. , Balasanyan H.S. , Grigoryan V.V.
Published: October 2023

In recent years, the successful development of dog breeding in Armenia has been hindered by various diseases, the most common of which is demodicosis. The spread of the demodicosis invasion in Yerevan is mainly due to the uncontrolled breeding of dogs, violation of sanitary and hygiene rules for dog rearing, and unauthorized sale and purchase of dogs. Lack of information about the disease among the dog owner and breeders is another important reason for the spread of the disease.
Demodicosis in dogs proceeds with certain variations. The extent of invasion in autumn was 51.7 %, in spring – 34 %, in winter – (32.2 %), and in summer it was 18.5 %. The relatively low temperature of the external environment and the high relative humidity of the air are probably favorable conditions for the reproduction, growth, and development of causative agents of demodicosis in dogs.
Studies have shown that the highest degree of demodicosis was observed among maternal livestock, and animals older than three months. The lowest degree of disease damage was observed in puppies up to three months old.

Bloom's taxonomy and critical thinking in teacher education
Authors: Kabysheva M. O.
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes and compares Bloom's traditional and revised taxonomy, focusing on the cognitive domain and, in particular, on knowledge. A two–dimensional model of Bloom's revised taxonomy is proposed for consideration, since an interesting situation has developed in Kazakhstan education now - the hierarchy of cognitive skills is used from the classical taxonomy, while the concept of active verbs is already used from the revised one. We believe that it is necessary in this case to fully use the revised concept, and the article provides an example of a matrix for formulating educational goals. Particular attention is paid to the cognitive skill of application, which some classify as the lowest level of thinking, while others consider it the highest. The article suggests that this skill is transitional, echoing both levels. In addition, the article explores the relationship between critical thinking and Bloom's taxonomy in the context of teacher training. It is considered how the use of Bloom's taxonomy can contribute to the development of critical thinking in future teachers, and what advantages this may have in educational practice. The article provides a better understanding of the evolution of the taxonomy and descriptions of cognitive skills and abilities presented in Bloom's taxonomy, their role in the formation of competent teachers with the ability to think critically and effectively apply knowledge in the learning environment.

Published: October 2023

Since a few decades ago, businesses have been under stress from their investors to embrace ecologically responsive commercial practices, which presents a significant challenge for management in maintaining a competitive advantage in the market. The human resources department must implement some green practices that improve sustainability if it is to maintain its strategic image in the eyes of its stakeholders. This study provides a quick explanation of the significant impact that these green HRM practices had on ecological sustainability performance. Its Green Hiring, Green Training and Engagement, and Green Performance Management and Compensation are self-determining variables. Despite the fact that it acts as a mediator between the independent and dependent variables, organizational citizenship conduct. A quantitative data collection method based on an online survey is used, taking into account the data of 120 participants to apply the SPSS test. Results from the vast majority of participants demonstrate that green performance management and compensation significantly affect an organization's commitment to corporate social responsibility and environmental sustainability. Green Training and Engagement provide the reasonable results for the dependent and mediating variable, while Green Hiring has the least impact. This research will help the management of the Odisha healthcare industry make effective adjustments to its HR practices, and it will also be useful to other researchers and state politicians as they make decisions. Indeed, this research is important, but it also has a number of shortcomings, including a lack of mixed studies and research constraints brought on by the state of Odisha. These problems could reduce the validity of our analysis. This gap can be filled by future academics in their research articles.

Authors: Sharma Aarti
Published: October 2023

Orientation: The success of each and every business was greatly influenced by the quality of the working environment. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehend the nature of the workplace and how it affects employees' dedication, particularly in the case of the insurance industry. Purpose: The overall goal of this study was to ascertain the link between quality of work life and employee commitment in the insurance industry, particularly in the Hoshiarpur district, and to investigate the impact of work-life quality on employee commitment. The absence of research on the connections between employee commitment and quality of work life makes it difficult to learn about both employee commitment and quality of work life, as well as the impact of QWL (predictor) on employee commitment (dependent).Research methodology: In the Hoshiarpur district, a descriptive research using a sample of N = 66 insurance industry workers was used. The information was gathered using Tanya Nayak's employee commitment survey scale and scale measuring the quality of nursing work-life. The questionnaire was electronically disseminated to workers in the insurance industry in order to perform a pilot study. Using IBM SPSS 25 version software, the Cronbach's alpha, mean, standard deviation, and correlation were determined. Findings: The data showed that employee commitment and quality of work life are fully associated, and the predictor has also demonstrated its impact over the dependents. Implications: The findings shed light on how workers' commitment to their jobs in the insurance industry is influenced by their quality of work life. Improved knowledge of how quality of work life affects employee commitment in the insurance industry contributes to the body of knowledge regarding both these topics, particularly in the context of the insurance industry in the Hoshiarpur district of the Punjabi province.

Extensive Review of State-of-the-Art Classification Techniques for Cuneiform Symbol Imaging: Open Issues and Challenges
Authors: Maath Farah , Mahmood Maha , Al-Khateeb Belal
Published: October 2023

The cuneiform script reveals some previously unknown aspects of our past. However, reading ancient clay tablets demands a substantial investment of time and persistent practice over a long period of time. As the fourth millennium came to a close, earlier recording methods gave way to the development of writing – the visual representation of spoken language. The first language to be transcribed in written form in Mesopotamia was Sumerian. Predominantly, the earliest tablets originate from the Uruk site in southern Mesopotamia, possibly marking its birthplace. Digitization cuneiform documents is imperative to boost research focused on the ancient Middle East. A few initiatives embarked upon this endeavor around the year 2000. Nonetheless, the digitization process is time-consuming due to the extensive volume of documents, and a dependable (semi) automatic methodology has yet to be developed. Given the antiquity of cuneiform script, recognizing cuneiform signs using real-world applications via two graph-based algorithms, each with complementary runtime characteristics, remains a manual procedure. Translating cuneiform proves to be a daunting task. Only in relatively recent times has grammar been established scientifically, while lexical challenges remain abundant and far from resolved. Furthermore, the majority of the Sumerian tablets have succumbed to the ravages of time, leaving behind only a handful of ancient depictions. Some of these old images have been preserved in a unique collection or in museums worldwide, allowing specialists to easily apply the sign detector to their cuneiform text studies. In this paper, we will discuss the categorization and analysis of clay tablets using a trained cuneiform model, employing artificial intelligence methodologies. Additionally, we will explore the methods employed, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, we will propose potential directions for future research.
