Motor function is a reflected structure of neurodynamic, mental processes hidden from the direct observation. In the toolless lie detection (verification), both speech material and facial behavior of the persons involved and their pantomimics is of particular interest. The study involved ten adult respondents implicated in sexual crimes against minors, and fifty-six patients from 15 to 17 years old simulating somatic diseases in the State Budgetary Institution of Health JSC “N.N. Silishchev Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital”, Astrakhan. The aim of this work is the analysis of general pantomimic production and differentiated study of motor acts of legs in a group of persons involved in a sexual crime and patients who simulated somatic diseases. The study shows that during the concealment, the illustrative gestures accompanying human speech are reduced in favor of gestures aimed at restoring the homeostasis during stress and negative emotional response associated with possible disclosure. In the general pantomimics of the interviewed persons, motor acts of legs appear which have got the name of pes-gestures. Pes-gestures are the adaptive motor skills evolutionally associated with the limbic “escape from danger” response of the brain. The differentiated understanding of the legs’ behavior on the control and projective questions is important when verifying the fraud, since the motor production of the human body is a correlator of the state of the central neuro-psychic activity of a person. The results of experimental work may be relevant for psychologists, experts in the field of deception verification, and polygraph examiners.

The process of social and cultural adaptation of foreign students is one of the key factors in their successful study in educational institutions of the Russian Federation. In the era of globalization, the concept and issues of acculturation need to be explored and studied. The growth in the number of foreign students forces us to think of new methods of helping students adapt to the environment, or improve the existing ones. The subject seems to be rather complex, thus, the theory and practice of determining the specifics of intercultural adaptation of representatives of different cultures are on the way to their formation. As a result, the scientists have no unified approach to the use of diagnostic tools, which makes it possible to effectively research various aspects of the intercultural adaptation of foreign students in the process of their study in Russia. The authors conducted a survey of foreign students studying the programme “Pedagogical Education” at the Elabuga Institute of Kazan Federal University, which made it possible to identify the main problems that arise during the integration of students into the new culture: domestic problems – 61 %, financial issues – 56 %, getting used to another culture – 66 %, problems of communication – 81 %. Only 13 % of the respondents claim that they have no problems in adaptation. The results of the survey helped to develop a programme aimed at solving the problems of adaptation of foreign students in the period of their study at the university. The developed adaptation programme, which includes such aspects, as museum education, social networking, club activities, and the course “Culture of Russian Oral Communication”, can positively affect the level of adaptation of foreign students in a foreign country. The study of this process allows developing methods of interaction with foreign students that increase the efficiency of work in the process of acculturation.

Published: October 2022

More and more companies in Western markets provide potential investors with an instrument to attract debt financing called “green bonds”. In recent years, a significant rise in demand for this type of securities is observed in Western stock markets; Russian investors also demonstrate interest in them, which makes issues of evaluating green bonds and comparing their investment attractiveness with the attractiveness of traditional bonds topical ones. The paper gives the assessment of attractiveness of green bonds both of Russian and Western European issuers and compares green and traditional corporate bonds from the point of view of a potential investor. The authors analyzed key financial performance indicators of green bonds: a coupon size, yield to maturity, and duration; assessed alternative costs of holding green bonds (bank deposit for the period of more than one year is considered an alternative variant of investment). Based on the results of the work, the authors conclude that, in general, non-green bonds today are more attractive for an investor; however, green bonds have an advantage in view of nominal coupon profitability. High duration is a distinctive feature of green bonds: the average due date of return of investments of green bonds is close to the maturity date, while traditional bonds have the duration much less than the term to their maturity. Therefore, one can note the heightened risks of inability to perform green bonds payments. In the Russian Federation, it is possible to partially eliminate specified risks through the government support of green projects.

Using instrumental variables to establish the relationship between household production diversity and household dietary diversity in northern Ghana
Authors:   University for Development Studies, Sienso G , Lyford C ,   Texas Tech University, Oldewage-Theron W
Published: October 2022

Despite the potential for agricultural diversification to improve nutrition, little scientific evidence exists in low- and middle-income countries on how the linkages between agriculture and nutrition work. In order to develop effective policies to address the nutrition-agricultural linkages in Ghana, it is important to understand and analyze the relationship between these variables. Agricultural production influences dietary quality because many rural households primarily depend on the food they produce. Households’ access to a diverse diet could enhance nutrition security as well as reduce mortality related to malnutrition. Thus, if households adopt a nutrition-sensitive approach in their production process, this may provide the necessary ingredients for diverse diets. However, over the years agricultural interventions in many developing countries have focused mainly on selected crops, particularly cereals, which may not meet household nutritional requirements. While these efforts have contributed to the reduction in hunger, over 800 million people in developing countries still suffer from hunger and micronutrient deficiencies. These effects show that eradicating hunger alone is not enough to ensure nutrition security. However, a potential solution comes from the agricultural sector through farm production diversity. A survey of rural farm households in Northern Ghana was conducted in the major and minor production seasons. Data were collected from six districts using a semi-structured questionnaire. The head of household (main decision maker) (n=505) and a woman mainly in charge of food preparation in the house were the main respondents in the surveys. Household dietary diversity score (HDDS) was measured as the number of counts of 12 food groups eaten by households within 24 hours prior to the interview and household production diversity score (HPDS) was measured as the total number of counts of crops and animals produced by the household in the last twelve months based on the same twelve food groups used in HDDS. A two stage least square with instrumental variables model was developed and estimated. After correcting for endogeneity, increased HPDS increased HDDS while increased distance to the nearest market, household size, proportion of produce sold, income, and price of maize decreased HDDS. Households are encouraged to diversify production but with caution because diversifying production may be unreliable due to the heavy reliance on rainfall in the area which is often unpredictable.

Perceptions of online shopping and determinants of consumers’ online purchase of food groceries in Polokwane local municipality, South Africa
Authors:   North-West University, Chokoe SC , Oyekale AS
Published: October 2022

Online purchase of food groceries is a development in the food retail market that is being driven by recent advances in the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Consumers are, therefore, complying with these emerging trends by testing some of the online shopping platforms to form a behavioural compliance as required by some cashless economic policies being implemented in some African countries. Although considered to be convenient, online shopping is bewildered with a lot of risks. The aim of this study was to analyse the perceptions of consumers on online shopping risks and determine the factors influencing them to purchase food groceries online. The data were collected from 173 respondents selected by simple random sampling. The data were collected using structured questionnaire that was administered by trained enumerators. Descriptive statistics and logit regression were used for data analysis. The analyses were carried out by STATA software. The results showed that 11% of the respondents were using online platforms to purchase food groceries, 57.2% were aware of the existence of online platforms to purchase food groceries, 84.4% perceived online purchase of food groceries as convenient, and 62.4% perceived it as risky. The results of the Logit regression model showed that delivery fee, level of education, employment status, use of phone tablets for internet browsing, use of laptops to browse the internet, perceived online convenience and perceived online risk had statistically significant relationships (p<0.05) with consumers’ decision to purchase food groceries online. It was recommended that in order to encourage active online sales, there is the need to educate consumers on the benefits of purchasing food groceries online, using broadcasting platforms such as radio, television and social media. There is also a need for the South African government to strengthen policies to reduce associated risks of online transactions.

Published: October 2022

Sierra Leone has one of the highest levels of malnutrition and child mortality worldwide due, in part, to the micronutrient deficiencies that result from a lack of diet diversity and food accessibility. To address these challenges, nutrient-dense, affordable snack foods are being developed for children in Sierra Leone. The products in development are similar to foods that are currently eaten in the region, such that they could easily be integrated into children’s diets. The two lead products are a groundnut butter pudding for children six months to two years of age and a sweet potato based muffin for children two to five years of age. The objectives of this study are (1) to determine the dietary habits of children in Sierra Leone between six months and five years of age, and (2) to perform acceptability testing with the pudding and the muffins. In total, 428 mother-child pairs participated in the study, which was performed in 2019 in multiple locations in the vicinity of Makeni, Sierra Leone. The mothers reported that the most common snacks for children six months to two years of age were porridge and rice, while the most common snacks for two to five year olds were rice and biscuits. These findings confirmed that the pudding and muffins would be familiar and appealing to young children. Moreover, the test results demonstrated that both the pudding and the muffins were acceptable in terms of taste and texture. Based upon these findings, the best formulations were selected, then further modified to reach the target levels of each micronutrient (vitamin A, iron, and zinc) in a single serving size. The estimated cost of each product is 1500 leones ($0.15 USD), making it affordable for Sierra Leoneans. Future steps are to collaborate with local entrepreneurs to sell these products in the markets where people normally shop. This study was approved by the District Medical Officer of Health in Sierra Leone and performed in collaboration with World Hope International, an NGO with a facility in Makeni, Sierra Leone.

A cash crop combination for maximum net income: A case study of a small-scale cash crop farmer in Vhembe, Limpopo province, South Africa
Authors:   University of Venda, Muzhinji K , Ndou N
Published: October 2022

This paper investigates the optimal cash crop combination at a small-scale cash crop farm in Vhembe District, Limpopo Province, South Africa in which green maize, cabbages, tomatoes, spinach, mustard, butternut and sweet potatoes are grown. To get optimum farm outputs, decisions on crop combination and operational activities in crop production are crucial. Proper farm planning and resource allocation play a significant role in optimising farm revenues. It was observed that the farmer used traditional methods of allocating resources, which lead to a less profitable crop mix. In view of this, in this study, linear programming model was formulated using data collected from a farm concerning the past crop combinations and allocation of resources in crop planning and production to determine the best crop combination that maximizes net income given limited resources such as land, labour, capital, and others. The simplex method of linear programming works by first locating a feasible solution and then relocating to any vertex of the feasible set that improves the cost function. Eventually, a point is reached beyond which no further movement improves the cost function. The results of the developed linear programming model were compared to past farming practices based on experience, leading to the conclusion that crops and limited resources were not optimally allocated. The results clearly demonstrate the optimal crop combination and allocation of scarce resources that the farm could have considered to yield maximum returns. It is observed that the proposed linear programming model is appropriate for finding the optimal land allocation criteria for the cash crops in the study area. The optimal crop mix from the linear programming two phase simplex method show that the farmer should grow the following crop mix, 1.16 ha of green mealies, 2.64 ha of cabbages, 0.8 ha of tomatoes, 1.2 ha of mustard, 0.4 ha spinach, 0.4 ha of butternut and 0.4 ha of sweet potatoes with the gross income of R 740 800. The linear programming model resulted in a 37.8 percent increase in profit margin. Based on the results obtained from this study, it is recommended that the small-scale cash crop farmer should invest more in producing crops that give maximum profit. MATLAB software was used to determine the optimal values of the decision variables. Key words: Cash crops allocation, crop combination, net income, linear programming (LP), resource allocation.

A minoritás alapkérdéseihez másként szólnék hozzá, ha a 20. század derekán nem jugoszláviai magyarként születtem volna. Felbecsülhetetlen az anyanyelvi örökség, amit természetszerűen egészített ki a soknemzetiségű vajdasági, valamint a gazdag jugoszláviai környezetben szerzett emberi és kulturális tapasztalat. Az 1989-ig terjedő történelmi korszakot nemzedékem számára nem a nemzeti kultúrával való harmonikus kapcsolat jellemezte. A magyarországi és a más országokban élők magyarok kultúrája különféle európai érdekszférákhoz és ideológiákhoz tartozott. A nyugati diaszpóra, Jugoszlávia és Csehszlovákia kisebbségi irodalma sok impulzust kapott idegen vagy többnyelvű környezetétől, a romániai talán kevesebbet. A több kulturális gyakorlat egybevetésének lehetősége azonban minden minoritás és diaszpóra számára fennállt, függetlenül attól, hogy a központi vagy a periferikus nyelvek közegében működnek-e. Előadásom középpontjában a többes kötődés változatai állnak.
A KISEBBSÉGI SORS ÉRTELMEZÉSE TAMÁSI ÁRON NOVELLÁIBAN
Authors: GINTLI Tibor
Published: October 2022

A tanulmány Tamási Áron kisebbségi sorsot tematizáló novelláinak azt a szegmensét vizsgálja, amely a székely mentalitás önkritikáját nyújtja. Ezek a transzilvanizmus eszméjének inspiráló hatását tükröző művek a magyar felsőbbségtudatban és a székelyek mélyen gyökerező etnikai előítéleteiben látják a három erdélyi nemzet békés együttélésének egyik legfőbb akadályát. Tamási novellái a székelység mentalitását, belső világát két elv küzdelmének színtereként értelmezik, ahol a szeretet keresztény elve és a pogány indulat ütközik össze egymással. Ez a közelítésmód egyfajta mitikus összefüggésbe helyezve igyekszik megnyugtató megoldást találni azokra a társadalmi problémákra, amelyekkel a trianoni békét követően szembesült az erdélyi magyarság.

A Böndör Pál epikai kultúrájának jellegzetességeire, szövegkonstrukcióinak szoros összefüggéseire összpontosító tanulmány az alkotó három művét (Ebihalak, A holdfény árnyékában, Bender & Tsa.) állítja a középpontba. Amellett próbál érvelni, hogy a szerző ezen munkáiból sem hiányzik a formafegyelmi kiérleltség, s a műfaji körvonalak elhomályosodását mutató elbeszélésszerkezetei nem panaszkönyvekben alakot öltő kisebbségi vészkiáltások, hanem a jugoszláv etnikai délibábot, szövetségi illúziót értelmező (ön)észlelések és gondolatkísérletek. Valódi tétjük, hogy a megszólaltatott alany (de ily módon bármely más regionális identitáskereső) úgy viszonyulhasson az emlékezetét kitöltő életrajzi anomáliákhoz és névkálváriákhoz, hogy közben lássa-láttassa: voltaképpen eldönthetetlen, vajon személyes történéseket kódoló szavai tényleges sorseseményeket neveznek-e meg, vagy pedig csak az általuk illusztrált sérelmeket idézik fel a lelki sebek minduntalan feltépésével.
AZ ALÁRENDELT NYELV POÉTIKÁJA MINT A KISEBBSÉGI IRODALOM STRATÉGIÁJA
Authors: NÉMETH Zoltán
Published: October 2022

Az 1920 után kisebbségiként megjelölt irodalmak – mint a szlovákiai magyar, erdélyi magyar, jugoszláviai magyar stb. – egyik legfontosabb igényévé az önmeghatározás vált. Ebből adódóan a kisebbségiként, nemzetiségiként felfogott irodalom egészére kiterjesztve különféle koncepciók jelentették be érvényességüket. A hídszerep, a kisebbségi messianizmus, a sajátos-speciális határon túli, kisebbségiirodalom-koncepciók, vagyis az évtizedeken át tartó ideológiagyártás nyomán a homogénként elképzelt kisebbségi irodalmak koncepcióinak vitájában kevés figyelemben részesült az irodalom nyelve mint olyan poétikák lehetséges terepe, amely az alárendeltség, a transzkulturalitás, a hibriditás, a dialektus és a pluricentrikus nyelvfelfogás határfeszültségeiből teremt érvényes irodalmi nyelvet. A tanulmány nemcsak kortárs határon túli magyar irodalomba tartozó műveket említ ebből a szempontból, mint például Száz Pál Fűje sarjad mezőknek (2017) című phytolegendáriumát, vagy a „székely nyelven” alkotó szerzőket (Sántha Attila, Muszka Sándor), hanem a felmerülő kérdéseket a kortárs magyar irodalom egészére (Parti Nagy Lajos, Borbély Szilárd) is kiterjeszti, és a posztmodern, valamint a transzkulturális irodalomfelfogások perspektíváján keresztül tárgyalja. Ebből a szempontból sajátos nyelvi agglomerációt képviselnek a bilingvális szerzők, mint Macsovszky Péter, vagyis az olyan művek, amelyeket a „nem magyar nyelven írt magyar irodalom” kategóriájába sorolhatunk. A tanulmány íve tehát a dialektustól a nyelvkeveredésen át az idegen nyelv egyeduralmáig mutat – a magyar irodalom kontextusában.

Kemenes Géfin László Fehérlófia című műve a nyugati magyar diaszpóra közegében öltött először alakot. Jóllehet a szöveg az emigrációs irodalom keretében formálódott, a kisebbségi helyzet nem csupán a megalkotáshoz kapcsolódó életrajzi adalék, sőt nem is pusztán a beszédhelyzetben érzékelhető-érvényesülő tapasztalat, hanem magának az írásmódnak meghatározó sajátossága. A műnemet tekintve is heterogén Fehérlófiát ezzel összefüggésben egyszerre jellemzi rendszerszerűen átgondolt, célszerűen ívelő építkezés és nyelvi- kulturális utalásmorzsákat halmozó töredékesség. A modernség és posztmodernség felől egyaránt értelmezhető tervezetjelleg nem pusztán a folytathatóság és állandó bővíthetőség, a kiteljesülés felé tartó, de minduntalan továbblépő úton-lét motívumát foglalja magában, hanem a konceptuális művészet ama szemléletmódjával is kapcsolatba hozható, ahol nem annyira az elkészült műalkotás, mint inkább a műalkotás ötlete és megvalósításának terve az, ami esztétikai érdeklődésre tart igényt. A lezárhatatlan szöveg, amely a különböző nyelvi-kulturális töredékek egymás mellé helyezése révén jön létre, éppúgy szól a földrajzi és történelmi otthonkeresésről, mint az otthonra találás lehetetlenségéről, az azonosság vágyáról és a széttartó alkotás nyitottságáról.

Női tulajdonságokat rendelni egyes műtípusok jellemzőihez kockázatos feladat, hiszen első fokon esszencializmusra utalhat a nőiséget illetően. Amennyiben léteznek is ilyenek, azokat külső feltételek alakították: általánosabb politikai-társadalmi-szemléleti okokra s egyéb sajátos körülményekre (mizogünia vagy csak érezhetően patriarchális jellegű intézményi szerveződés, korlátoltabb önreprezentációs lehetőségek) tudunk rámutatni velük kapcsolatban. Ráadásul e viszony nem is jelent egyszerű megfeleltetést – miszerint lennének inkább férfi és inkább női avantgárd műfajok –, gyakran éppen inkább férfiaknak tulajdonított műfajt fordítanak ki, forgatnak fel női alkotók, vagy akár maszkként használják – női pozícióból szólaltatják meg és női hanggal töltik fel vagy annyira ironikussá teszik, hogy önmaga paródiájába megy át. Jelen tanulmányban egy sajátos és valójában egészen meglepő szövegpárost nézünk meg, ahol éppen azzal kísérleteznek avantgárd nőírók, hogy a világirodalom egyik legmeghatározóbbnak tekintett mitológiáját (s ezen a hagyománytörténeten belül is az egyik legfontosabbnak tekintett klasszikus művét) fordítják ki, írják át a saját, meglehetősen speciális pozíciójuk felől: tudniillik Faustét.

Published: October 2022

The Mediterranean food pattern (MFP) has been identified as promoting health and preventing certain chronic diseases. The objective of this study was to determine the adherence to MFP in a sample of students in the 3rd cycle of basic education of the Terceira Island and its relationship with sociodemographic factors and weight status. Data was collected between May and June 2015. A direct application questionnaire that included KIDMED was used to assess adherence to the MFP. A total of 303 students aged between 11 and 19 years old participated in this study, mostly female (57.8%). Most students (64.4%) showed an intermediate level of adherence to the MFP and the prevalence of overweight was 33%. Boys had a higher percentage of regular consumption of breakfast cereals and fatty fruits and daily consumption of two yogurts and/or 40 g of cheese. Students who had a vegetable garden and helped to tend it or who belonged to families with additional members under the age of 18 had greater adherence to MFP. No associations were found between other sociodemographic factors and adherence to MFP. Based on these results, it is suggested to reinforce existing food education programs in schools, as well as develop other programs with a multidisciplinary approach that promotes adherence to the MFP.

Published: October 2022

O processo de formação e construção da região amazônica se intensifica e transforma após a metade do século XX, orientado e organizado pelo Estado e mercado. Parauapebas, localizada no sudeste paraense, surgiu de uma nova fronteira econômica, voltada a um projeto industrial para a mineração que atraiu trabalhadores de todas as regiões do Brasil, no período do governo militar, denominado Programa Grande Carajás (PGC), no final da década de 1970. Por meio da globalização, o município foi inserido no sistema econômico-político moderno. Temos como objetivo geral: analisar criticamente as ofertas de cursos técnicos em uma cidade marcada economicamente pelo extrativismo mineral. Assim, realizamos uma análise do mercado de trabalho dos anos de 2018 e 2019, relacionado às 10 ocupações de nível técnico com maior saldo de empregos. Os dados do Cadastro Geral de Empregos e Desempregados (CAGED) mostraram que, no geral, todas as ocupações tiveram um saldo positivo. Isso é importante para se pensar, replanejar e ofertar cursos para estas ocupações no Instituto Federal do Pará (IFPA), podendo-se substituir aqueles que apresentam baixa empregabilidade por cursos que estão demandando mão de obra, destacando-se a necessidade de cursos nas áreas de Técnico Florestal e Técnico em Controle de Meio Ambiente, bem como graduações em licenciatura.

A correta gestão dos resíduos sólidos tem sido uma das principais problemáticas contemporâneas de saneamento básico das cidades brasileiras. O conhecimento da composição dos resíduos é fundamental para o norteamento das ações relacionadas à gestão ambientalmente adequada desses. Este trabalho teve como objetivo determinar a composição gravimétrica dos resíduos sólidos gerados pela população urbana de Dourados, MS. A análise gravimétrica foi executada no aterro municipal, nos dias 7 e 8 de setembro de 2021. Com base nesses dados, a composição gravimétrica dos resíduos sólidos domiciliares obtida foi de 53,1% de matéria orgânica, 16,9% de plástico, 8,8% de papel/papelão, 3,5% de metal, 2,9% de vidro, 8,2% de rejeito e 6,5% de outros. O elevado percentual de recicláveis e de matéria orgânica, caso tenham destinação alternativa adequada, incidirá em uma redução drástica na demanda de volume no aterro sanitário, aumentando, assim, sua vida útil e reduzindo a geração de efluentes.

Nekrotizan enterokolit (NEK), prematüre bebeklerde en sık görülen gastrointestinal problemdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, NEK modeli oluşturulan yenidoğan sıçanlarda silimarin (SLY)'nin koruyucu ve antioksidan etkilerini değerlendirmektir. Yirmi sekiz Sprague-Dawley sıçanı çalışmaya dahil edildi. Sıçanlar rastgele dört gruba ayrıldı: kontrol (C), C+SLY, NEK ve NEK+SLY. NEK, hiperosmolar enteral formül beslenmesi ile indüklendi, yavru sıçanlar hipoksi ve soğuk stresine maruz bırakıldı. Bağırsak dokusunun makroskopik skorlaması değerlendirildi ve biyokimyasal, histopatolojik inceleme için doku örnekleri alındı. Süperoksit dismutaz (SOD), glutatyon peroksidaz (GPx), nitrik oksit (NO), malondialdehit (MDA), total antioksidan status (TAS), total oksidan status (TOS) ve oksidatif stres indeksi (OSI) düzeyleri biyokimyasal olarak değerlendirildi.

Banana is a fruit that is very beneficial for the human body, because it contains a lot of nutrients needed by the human body. One serving of banana contains about 110 calories, 30kg carbohydrates and 1 gram of protein. At harvest time, farmers will sort the bananas according to their type, then they will be sorted according to quality (for example, level of maturity, type of banana, suitable for consumption). The sorting process is still done manually by banana farmers in the Lumajang area. Therefore, the results of the sorting process will be less accurate because there are differences in opinion on the quality value of each farmer. This study aims to provide standard values for Lumajang banana farmers. So that each banana that has been harvested by the farmer can be grouped according to predetermined standard values. In this study using 5 color features. The results of the feature extraction process will be processed again using the k-nearest neighboor method. The results of this study are an application that can identify the type of banana and the ripeness of the banana. The identification of banana types and the ripeness of bananas were obtained from the extraction process of color features and continued with the k-nearest neighboor method. The results of accuracy using the K-NN method are 68% accurate K3 and 32% inaccurate.

Background: Passivity of an implant-supported restoration is fundamental for its long-term survival. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of interface fit of screw-retained implant-supported zirconia fixed partial denture with different abutment angulations.
Methods: 50 epoxy resin casts were randomly assigned into 5 groups (n=10) according to the implant placement angulations: group I; the casts received two non-tilted implants with two straight abutments, group II; the casts received a non-tilted implant with straight abutment and 17.5° tilted implant with 17.5° angled abutment, group III; the casts received a non-tilted implant with straight and 35°tilted implant with 35° angled abutment, group IV the casts received two 17.5-degree tilted implants with 17.5° angled abutments, and group V; the casts received two 35-degree tilted implants with 35° abutments. For each cast, a 3-unit zirconia fixed partial denture was fabricated. Titanium caps were bonded to corresponding zirconia fixed partial denture. For each specimen, the accuracy of fit was assessed by measuring the gap at the interface when one prosthetic screw was tightened, and when both prosthetic screws were tightened. The data were analyzed using Kruskal Wallis test followed by post-hoc dunn’s test (P<.05).
Results: When the canine prosthetic screw was tightened, the median of the gab at central interface showed statistical significant difference (P=.037) between studied groups. Also, a significant difference was revealed between Group I and Group III (P=.002), Group III and Group IV (P=.026), and Group IV and V (P=.035). When central prosthetic screw was tightened, the median of the gab at canine interface showed statistical significant difference (P=.02) between studied groups. Also, there was a significant difference between Group I and Group II (P=.001), Group I and Group III (P=.02), and Group I and V (P=.04). However, there were no significant differences between studied groups when both prosthetic screws were tightened.
Conclusions: The screw-retained zirconia fixed partial denture has interface fit within the clinical acceptable value regarding the precision of fit. The use of angled abutment endanger the accuracy of interface fit of screw-retained implant-supported zirconia fixed partial denture.

Published: October 2022

Lightning is the main precursor of natural wildfires and Long-Continuing-Current (LCC) lightning flashes are proposed to be the main igniters of lightning-ignited wildfires (LIW). Previous studies predict a change of the global occurrence rate and spatial pattern of total lightning. Nevertheless, the sensitivity of lightning-ignited wildfire occurrence to climate change is uncertain. Here, we investigate space-based measurements of LCC lightning associated with lightning ignitions and present LCC lightning projections (RCP6.0) for the 2090s by applying a new LCC lightning parameterization based on the updraft strength in thunderstorms. We find a 66 \% increase of the LCC lightning flash rate. Increases are largest in South America, the western coast of Northern America, Central America, Australia, Southern and Eastern Asia, and Europe, while only regional variations are found in northern polar forests, where fire risk can affect permafrost soil carbon release. These results show that lightning schemes including LCC lightning are needed to project the occurrence of lightning-ignited wildfires under climate change.

Plants are often subjected to a broad range of environmental stresses such as drought, cold, salinity, heat, heavy metals, and other abiotic stresses. These stresses critically influence plant growth, development, and productivity. Among various abiotic stresses, cold (chilling or low temperature) is one of the major hindrances to crop productivity. In response to cold stress, plants have evolved various types of mechanisms that involve altered physiological, biochemical, and molecular processes to deal with cold stress. Advances in the fields of genetics and molecular biology have led to the development of various tools for the analysis of molecular networks involved in a certain trait. Nowadays, the advent of “OMICS” technology has been widely applied to understand the complex genetic nature of cold stress tolerance in plants. Being a complex trait, cold stress in plants is governed by more than one gene, including transcription factors that facilitate plants' survival in adverse conditions. In this review, we emphasize on the current understanding of molecular mechanisms for cold stress adaptation in plants. The roles of various transcription factors in plant adaptation and how they can be utilized for crop improvement are also discussed.

Mill scale is an abundant solid waste from steel production. This material is a very valuable industrial waste due to its richness in iron (about 72% Fe), chemical stability and variable usage in multiple fields which implies that it can bring social and environmental benefits. This work aims to recover Mill scale and reuse it to synthesize three iron oxide pigments ; Hematite (α-Fe2O3, red color), Magnetite (Fe3O4, black color) and Maghemite (γ-Fe2O3, brown color).To achieve this objective, Mill scale needs to be refined and granted to react with sulfuric acid to obtain ferrous sulfate FeSO4.xH2O which is used to produce Hematite by calcination between 600 and 900°C, then, Magnetite by reduction of hematite using a reducing agent at 400°C and Maghemite from a thermal treatment of magnetite at 200°C.It was shown within the experiments that the mill scale contains between 75% and 86.66% of Fe and a uniform distribution of particles size with a low Span. That gave red particles size (0.18–0.193 µm) and specific surface area SSA: 6.12 m2/g, black particles sizes (0.2–0.3 µm) and SSA 4.92 m2/g, brown particles size (0.18–0.189 µm) and SSA 6.32 m2/g. The results revealed that the mill scale was successfully converted into pigments with good qualities.

Suspended particulate in the atmosphere are composite pollutants composed of minerals, heavy metal ions, organic pollutants and microorganisms, etc. Minerals can provide shelter for living microorganisms, and forming a mineral / microorganism complex. In this paper, the nano-micron calcite particles / bacteria complex was taken as the research object, the morphology, particle size, surface electrical properties, surface groups and other characteristics of the mineral / bacteria complex were explored by modern analysis and testing methods, focusing on the analysis of the interface between mineral and bacteria in the complex. The SEM / CLSM results showed that the morphology of the complex was characterized by bacteria adhering to the surface of large particles of mineral or the aggregates of nano-mineral, and single nano-mineral particles adhering to the end and surface of bacteria. The particle size of the complex was about 2.07 ~ 192.4 times larger than that of the original mineral particles, and the particle size of nano CaCO3 / bacteria complex was larger than that of calcite / bacteria complex. The surface potential of calcite / bacteria complex is between mineral and bacteria, while the surface potential of nano CaCO3 / bacteria complex approaches mineral particles. The FTIR spectrum of mineral / bacteria complex was mainly based on the infrared characteristics of minerals, accompanied by the infrared characteristics of bacteria. Spectroscopic analysis of the secondary structure of bacterial membrane proteins in the complex showed that the calcite / bacteria complex was dominated by electrostatic attraction. The β-fold / α-helix ratio of bacteria in the mineral / Staphylococcus aureus complex increased, indicating that the secondary structure of bacteria surface proteins was more stable and the hydrogen bond effect was strong.

The boxelder maple (Acer negundo, Sapindaceae) is one of the most common tree species of the genus Acer natively growing in North America. In the 17th century A. negundo was introduced to Europe as an ornamental plant, and from this point forward it started uncontrolled expansion on new territories, as an alien invasive species (IAS), threatening local ecosystems and human’s safeness. Etiological symptoms of fungal development on boxelders’ seeds and petioles, were observed in 2017 and 2021 in the municipality of Wrocław (SW Poland, Europe), outside of host native occurrence. Morphological analyses combined with multilocus phylogenetic analyses (using rDNA ITS, gapdh, act, tub2, chs-1, and his3 sequences), indicated that isolated strains belong to a new species of Colletotrichum, from the rare Colletotrichum agaves species complex. Name Colletotrichum acericola is proposed for this fungus, after its host on which it was found. It is the second species of the Colletotrichum agaves species complex described from the dicotyledonous host and outside host plants of the family Asparagaceae. Based on phylogenetic analyses and deposited in NCBI-GenBank environmental sequences (ex endophytes of Dalea purpurea and Panicum virgatum in prairies of USA) assigned here to this species, it is likely that Colletotrichum acericola is native to North America and introduced to Europe after its host plant appearance, maybe on nursery material. The possible future invasion of C. acericola on Acer negundo and its spillover to other (native) Acer species in Europe are discussed.
