Published: May 2022

Today, the trends are the robotics field since it is used in too many environments that are very important in human life. Covid 19 disease is now the deadliest disease in the world, and most studies are being conducted to find solutions and avoid contracting it. The proposed system senses the presence according to a specific injury to warn of it and transfer it to the specialist doctor. This system is designed to work in service departments such as universities, institutes, and all state departments serving citizens. This system consists of two parts: the first is fixed and placed on the desk and the other is mobile within a special robot that moves to perform the required task. This system was tested at the University of Basrah within the college of engineering, department of electrical Engineering, on teaching staff, students, and staff during the period of final academic exams. The presence of such a device is considered a warning according to a specific condition and isn’t a treatment for it, as the treatment is prescribed by the specialist doctor. It is found that the average number of infected cases is about 3% of the total number of students and the teaching staff and the working staff. The results were documented in special tables that go to the dean of the college with the attendance tables to know the daily health status of the students.

Published: May 2022

This paper focuses on calculating resilience index of 282 cities in China from 2012 to 2019, to analysis the regional differences and random convergence. We use the entropy method to calculate the urban resilience index, adopt the Dagum Gini coefficient method to analyze the regional differences and the sources, explore the variation coefficients method and beta convergence model to diagnose the convergence mechanism. The conclusions are: (1) The urban resilience in China is at a medium and low level with a stable growth tendency, with a significant regional unbalance of “higher in east, and lower in other regions”. As the sub-resilience, there is a big gap in the regional difference of the resilience structure with good performance in social resilience and economic resilience, poor in ecological resilience and infrastructure resilience. (2) The Gini coefficient of urban resilience continuously decreases with the regional unbalance narrowing accordingly. The Gini coefficients in different regions have a phased convergence tendency, and the hypervariable density contribution and intra-regional differences contribution are the main sources of differences in urban resilience. (3) The urban resilience in China and eastern region has σ convergence, while China and all regions have significant absolute β and conditional β convergence. Therefore, this paper proposes to continuously accelerate the urban resilient construction, make up for the shortcomings, and narrow the regional development gap, to promote the healthy and orderly development of cities.
How Does Environment Affect the Morphology of Radio AGN?
Authors: Morris Melissa Elizabeth , Wilcots Eric , Hooper Eric , Heinz Sebastian
Published: May 2022

Galaxies hosting Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with bent radio jets are used as tracers of dense environments, such as galaxy groups and clusters. The assumption behind using these jets is that they are bent under ram pressure from a dense, gaseous medium through which the host galaxy moves. However, there are many AGN in groups and clusters with jets that are not bent, which leads us to ask: why are some AGN jets affected so much by their environment while others are seemingly not? We present the results of an environmental study on a sample of 185 AGN with bent jets and 191 AGN with unbent jets in which we characterize their environments by searching for neighboring galaxies using a Friends-of-Friends algorithm. We find that AGN with bent jets are indeed more likely to reside in groups and clusters, while unbent AGN are more likely to exist in singles or pairs. When considering only AGN in groups of three or more galaxies, we find that bent AGN are more likely to exist in halos with more galaxies than unbent AGN. We also find that unbent AGN are more likely than bent AGN to be the brightest group galaxy. Additionally, groups hosting AGN with bent jets have a higher density of galaxies than groups hosting unbent AGN. Curiously, there is a population of AGN with bent jets that are in seemingly less dense regions of space, indicating they may be embedded in a cosmic web filament. Overall, our results indicate that bent doubles are more likely to exist in in larger, denser, and less relaxed environments than unbent doubles, potentially linking a galaxy’s radio morphology to its environment.

Authors: Lu Lei , Feng Li , Gan Weiqun
Published: May 2022

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large clouds of magnetized plasma ejected from the Sun and are often associated with the acceleration of electrons that can result in radio emission via various mechanisms. However, the underlying mechanism relating the CMEs and particle acceleration still remains a subject of heated debate. Here, we report multi-instrument radio and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) imaging of a solar eruption event on 2011 September 24. We determine the emission mechanism of a moving radio burst, identify its three-dimensional location with respect to a rapidly expanding EUV wave, and find evidence for CME shocks that produce quasiperiodic acceleration of electron beams.
A price tag on species
Authors: Kõljalg Urmas , Nilsson R. Henrik , Jansson Arnold Tobias , Zirk Allan , Abarenkov Kessy
Published: May 2022

Species have intrinsic value but also partake in a long range of ecosystem services of major economic value to humans. These values have proved hard to quantify precisely, making it all too easy to dismiss them altogether. We outline the concept of the species stock market (SSM), a system to provide a unified basis for valuation of all living species. The SSM amalgamates digitized information from natural history collections, occurrence data, and molecular sequence databases to quantify our knowledge of each species from scientific, societal, and economical points of view. The trading system will necessarily be unlike that of the regular stock market, but the looming biodiversity crisis implores us to finally put an open and transparent price tag on symbiosis, deforestation, and pollution

Authors: Berzinji Begard , Dizaye Kawa
Published: May 2022

This study aims to evaluate the impact of fenofibrate on the levels of (IL-6, hsCRP, Lp-PLA2, sCD40L, and cystatin C) in hypertensive rats. Twenty-four rats were divided into two groups each of twelve. The first group served as the normotensive group, while the second group was regarded as the hypertensive group. Each group was further divided into two subgroups (control and treated). The control subgroups only received a placebo and the treated subgroups were given fenofibrate 30 mg/kg daily orally by gastric gavage for 4 weeks. The level of hsCRP, IL6, and Lp-PLA2 significantly increased, but sCD40L and cystatin C levels were not changed in hypertensive rats. Fenofibrate has significantly reduced the levels of hsCRP and Lp-LPA2 in hypertensive rats while IL6 and sCD40s have not been changed in both groups. In conclusion, Fenofibrate has revealed a pleiotropic anti-inflammatory effect by reducing the level of hsCRP and Lp-LPA2 in hypertensive rats.
Revision of Taiwanese and Ryukyuan species of Pristepyris Kieffer, 1905, with description of a new species (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae)
Authors: Liao Hauchuan , Terayama Mamoru , Eguchi Katsuyuki
Published: May 2022

The pristocerine genus Pristepyris comprises 38 valid species recorded worldwide, except in the Australian Region. Of them, three species, namely P. mieae (Terayama, 1995), P. tainanensis (Terayama, 1995) and P. takasago (Terayama, 1996), have been recorded from Taiwan and three species, i.e. P. ishigakiensis (Yasumatsu, 1955), P. minutus (Yasumatsu, 1955) and P. ryukyuensis (Terayama, 1999), from the Ryukyus in Japan. In the present study, the species-level classification of both Taiwanese and Ryukyuan species of Pristepyris was revised using newly-collected specimens by the external and male genital morphological as well as molecular phylogenetic analysis. Overall, six species of Pristepyris were recorded from Taiwan and the Ryukyus. Among these, five were previously recorded for the region and were revised here: P. ishigakiensis, P. mieae, P. ryukyuensis, P. tainanensis and P. zhejiangensis. Additionally, a new species, P. seqalusp. nov., is herein described and illustrated. Furthermore, the species P. minutus is transferred to Eleganesia and P. takasago is synonymized under P. minutus. Due to the new combination of Pristepyris minutus, a key to Taiwanese and Ryukyuan species of the genus Eleganesia, based on male morphology, is provided in Appendix 1. We confirmed for the first time the correspondence between the male and female species of P. zhejiangensis by molecular data. High compatibility in species delimitation patterns, suggested by the morphological and molecular phylogenetic approaches, highlighted the significance of the former approach for accurately classifying aged voucher specimens of Pristocerinae in public collections.
The insiders' gaze: fieldworks, social media and visual methodologies in urban tourism
Authors: Graziano Teresa
Published: May 2022

This paper aims at scrutinizing the role of two overlapping dimensions in tourism geography teaching and learning: the real-world perspective, represented by the fieldwork as a long-established practice in geographical teaching; and the digital sphere, namely the use of visual methodologies and social media as tools to activate city image-making in tourist practices.

In particular, the work deepens critical aspects and potentialities of a mixed-method approach combining both traditional methods and more innovative tools to carry out researches and teaching in the field of tourism geography and cultural heritage. Theoretically inserted at the interplay among tourism, digital geography and visual methods, it draws on a series of workshops organized with third-level students between 2016 and 2018. Although problematizing some crucial conceptual issues related to the role of visualities and new technologies, findings highlight the didactic effectiveness of mixed methods that entail the more traditional ones such as team working and fieldworks, and the most innovative such as visual methods and social media, to increase students' interest in geography learning and stimulating their own perceptions of ordinary landscapes through a gaze repositioning.

Renal transplant therapy is essential in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). It is used in patients awaiting a kidney transplant or those who cannot be a transplant candidate. Central venous catheter is one of the most used access routes worldwide but has been recorded as the one with highest mortality and morbidity rate. Thromboembolic events have played a major part for that. This is a descriptive-analytical study, which conducted in a university treatment center in Tehran, Iran. A total of 225 patients were selected for this study that 108 were excluded because of our criteria. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS v19 and a total of 117 patients were included in this study. The average age of the patients was 51.62±11.26. 79 (67.5%) and 38 (32.5%) patients had medial and lateral tip direction, respectively. The catheter of 85(72.6%) and 32(27.4%) patients was patent and occluded, respectively. The average catheter tip occlusion time in both groups was 22.5 and 7.5 months. Three-month, six-month, twelve-month, and twenty-four-month patency rate were 99%, 94%, 88%, and 30%, respectively. our findings suggest that medial direction of the tip of the catheter reduces complications caused in CVS. Because our study has been conducted in a small scale and there is lack of similar studies, our team suggests extension to a larger scale to confirm or not our results.

Authors: CANPOLAT Ergin
Published: May 2022

Son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalar ile Anadolu’da Kuvaterner’e ait buzullaşma izlerinin görüldüğü dağlık sahalara yenileri eklenmektedir. Toros Dağ Kuşağı’nın yüksek kesimleri de buzullaşma alanlarına ait envanterlerde yerini almaktadır. Yakın zamanlarda özellikle Batı Toroslarda yapılan çalışmalar, bazı dağlık alanların düşük enlem ve yükselti değerlerine rağmen buzullaşma izleri taşıdığını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu çalışmada buzullaşma izlerini taşıdığı görülen Bozburun Dağı buzul jeomorfolojisi açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Bozburun Dağı, Antalya’nın kuzeyinde Serik (Antalya) ile Sütçüler (Isparta) arasında, coğrafi olarak da Köprüçay ile Aksu vadileri arasında yer alan ve maksimum yüksekliği 2504 m olan bir dağdır. Faylanma sonucu parçalı yapı gösteren dağlık alanda özellikle kuzeydoğu kesimde Kretase kireçtaşları içerisinde yoğun karstlaşma izlerine rastlanmaktadır. Çalışmada, sahaya ait litolojik ve tektonik yapının incelenmesi, meteorolojik veriler ile yüksek çözünürlüklü topoğrafik veriler edinilmiştir. İhtiyaç duyulan bazı lokasyonlar için İHA kullanılarak görüntüler elde edilmiştir. Yapılan saha çalışmaları neticesinde de sirk ve moren tespiti gerçekleştirilen lokaliteler için Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemi ortamında GlaRe yazılım eklentisi kullanılarak paleobuzul rekonstrüksiyon işlemleri yapılmıştır. Ayrıca farklı formülasyonlarla paleo-ELA hesaplaması yapılmıştır. Dağlık alanın doğu kesiminde iki, kuzeybatısında iki olmak üzere toplam dört adet buzullaşma alanı tespit edilmiştir. Muhtemelen Son Glasyal Maksimum ile Genç Dryas sürecinde oluşan bu buzullaşma alanları toplamda 1,09 km2 alan kaplamaktadır. Buzullaşma alanının en geniş olduğu ve paleobuzul uzunluğunun en fazla olduğu (1203 m) saha kuzeybatıdaki Bilezik Sirki buzullaşma alanıdır. Sahada buzullaşma izlerinin en alçak seviyelerde görüldüğü lokasyon da bu buzullaşma alanındadır. Bu kesimde buzul terminal yüksekliği 1873 m olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bozburun Dağı'ndaki buzullaşma rekonstrüksiyonu hesaplamalarının sonuçlarına göre maksimum buzul kalınlığının ortalaması ise 73 m'dir. Buzullaşma izlerinin görüldüğü Bozburun Dağı’nın yüksek kesimlerinde litolojik ve tektonik yapıya bağlı gelişen yüksek eğim değerleri ise buzul jeomorfolojisi oluşumlarının gelişimini sınırlandırmıştır.

Published: May 2022

The effects of unequal changes of the values of initial capital on the dividends of two competing investors trading in the same environment were quantified using a numerical method. From the results of our analysis, we observed that in the events of unequal upward variation of the initial investment values of the two investors, there is a predominant increase in the dividends of the first investor while the second investor is susceptible to financial liquidation. This important result will be useful in providing some insight on the allocation of capital to investors for effective competition.

The absorption, fluorescence, and fluorescence excitation spectra of phenylthio-substituted Al-phthalocyanine in solutions, polyvinyl butyral films, and silicate gel matrices were studied at room temperature. It was found that monomeric fluorescent forms of impurity molecules are formed not only in ethanol and

polyvinyl butyral, but also in inorganic and organo-inorganic silicate matrices colored by direct sol-gel synthesis. It was shown that when the tetraethoxysilane matrix is stained by the impregnation method, nonfluorescent aggregates, presumably of the H-type, are formed. The obtained solid silicate matrices can be

used as multipurpose luminescent materials for the near-IR region.

Published: May 2022

We demonstrate the efficiency of the chocolate sample classification by type and manufacturer using the “spectral print” method using THz transmission spectra. To suppress the noise and the Fabry–Perot effect, spectra baselines are determined using the adaptive iteratively reweighted penalized least squares (airPLS) method. The classification was carried out by constructing a low-dimensional space of the principal components of the baselines and applying the methods of cluster analysis in this space. The precision and recall values of the classification of chocolate samples by the k-means, classification and regression tree and hierarchical cluster analysis are 0.85 and 0.83, 0.91 and 0.90, 0.94 and 0.93, respectively. The support vector machine is successfully applied to consider two cases where pairwise classification is most problematic.
‘Fertility awareness methods’ als eerste stap voor koppels met fertiliteitsproblemen

Fertility awareness methods as the first step in subfertility management

An unfulfilled child wish is due to unexplained or mild male subfertility in more than half of the consulting subfertile couples. Since many of these couples can still conceive naturally within 1 year without treatment, expectant management (6-12 months) is proposed. However, in practice it often proves to be difficult to adhere to this approach, resulting in a quick shift to expensive assisted reproductive therapy (ART). Recent fertility awareness methods (FAMs) train couples to distinguish fertile from infertile days of the menstrual cycle, allowing them to target sexual intercourse on the most fertile days. By incorporating FAMs into expectant management, the latter is made more effective, increasing the chances of pregnancy. Furthermore, the health risks associated with ART are reduced. The symptothermal method is a combination of the temperature-based and cervical mucus secretion method. By applying this FAM and having fertility-focused intercourse, 92% of the women had become pregnant after 1 year, compared to 82% in studies without FAMs. For a subfertile subgroup, the cumulative spontaneous pregnancy rate after 8 months was less (38%), but still significantly above the spontaneous pregnancy rate without fertility awareness training (21.6%). Via educational materials and a network of trained teachers, FAMs are proposed. In order to fulfil this role properly, FAMs need to be recognised as the first step in fertility care in Belgium. Integrating FAMs can cause a judicious reduction in healthcare costs by reducing the number of multiple pregnancies and selecting only couples who genuinely need ART.

Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) merupakan unit usaha yang berperan besar dalam menyokong perekonomian nasional Indonesia terutama saat krisis ekonomi melanda tahun 1997-1998 dan terakhir pada masa pandemic covid 19. Usaha mikro kecil dan menengah merupakan pemeran utama kewirausahaan di Indonesia. Masa depan Ekonomi Indonesia juga sangat bergantung kepada kemampuan usaha mikro kecil dan menengah untuk berkembang mandiri. Sehingga Pemerintah perlu terus mendorong agar UMKM yang tersebar diseluruh pelosok negeri dapat tumbuh dan berkembang. Berdasarkan observasi awal pelaku UMKM di kelurahan Pinang Baru, Kecamatan Pinangsori, Kabupaten Tapanuli Tengah belum berkembang maksimal. Banyak sumber daya manusia yang potensil namun tidak produktif menghasilan. Sehingga perlu dilakukan rangsangan agar UMKM yang sudah ada dapat lebih berkembang dan sumber daya manusia yang belum produktif dapat dibekali agar dapat produktif dan mandiri. Sehingga dipandang perlu dilakukan upaya-upaya melalui sosialisasi tentang kemudahan berusaha dalam merangsang tumbuh kembangnya semangat kewirausahaan dan kemadirian berusaha. Berdasarkan hasil sosialisasi yang dilaksanakan, tingkat pengetahuan dan wawasan masyarakat tentang kewirausahaan dan kemadirian semakin terbuka. Semangat berusaha semakin baik sehingga perlu terus didorong oleh pemerintah dan pihak-pihak yang peduli termasuk Perguruan Tinggi dalam pelaksanaan Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi.

Currently, the whole world is struggling with a crisis known as the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been proven as a highly fatal and contagious disease. Many diabetic patients who are currently recovering from the convalescence period of the COVID-19 disease face some other problems caused by this disease such as depression, loneliness, and stress, as well as lack of sufficient knowledge in self-care other than the physical and psychological problems that they have already experienced due to diabetes. Accordingly, this situation was particularly intensified since the existence of various and sometimes contradictory sources of information and the absence of media literacy provided the context for the emergence of anxiety and inability in making decisions on the accurate and appropriate use of the relevant information. The easy and wide access to mobile services, including SMS service, has nowadays provided specific features, which could effectively serve in health interventions such as providing low-cost and available care for everyone.

Cricket is a popular sport in India as well as the rest of the world. In recent years, the T-20 variation of this game has grown in popularity. The Indian Premier League (IPL), a tournament based on this structure, has risen dramatically in recent years. On the other hand, Cricket is known as the game of chance. Fans and followers are also concerned with predicting the victor of a tournament or match. Technology, on the other hand, is rapidly changing. After training a model, researchers always turn to data mining algorithms to predict something. So, in this research, we use various supervised learning approaches to predict the winners of Indian Premier League matches. We have the following attributes in this system: team names, match venue, toss winner, toss decision, match winner, won by how many runs, and umpires present for the match. Decision trees, Random Tree, Naive Bayes, KNN and ENHALGO are examples of supervised techniques utilized in this research.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE SIMPLE SYNTACTIC GROUPS FORMED
BY A VERB AND A PREPOSTION (V  PR)
Authors: STANCHEVA RUSKA

he article deals with the interaction between verbs and prepositions that form simple syntactic groups (V → Pr). The object of description are the group’s variants as estab-lished by means of two linguistic techniques: connotation and accommodation. The author analyses four subtypes of the group and offers her conclusions with respect to: (a) innovations in the standard language; (b) the extent of the accommodation of prepositions to verbs; (c) the stipulation of homonymу of the preposition от; (d) re-verse accommodation – observed where prepositions accommodate verbs – morpho-logically (in the category of tense) or lexically (in the category of aspect).

СИНТАКТИЧНА ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА НА ПРОСТИ ГРУПИ С ГЛАВЕН ЧЛЕН ГЛАГОЛ И ПОДЧИНЕН ЧЛЕН НАРЕЧИЕ (V → ADV) / SYNTACTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF SIMPLE GROUPS CONSISTING OF A HEAD VERB AND A SUBORDINATE ADVERB (V → ADV)
Authors: Charalozova Katya
Published: May 2022

The article aims at providing a precise formal description of the syntax of simple constructions consisting of a head verb and a subordinate adverb. The analysis em-ploys the mechanisms of syntactic accommodation and connotation.
The study of the processes of accommodation and connotation in simple syntactic constructions of the type V → Adv in terms of the presence or absence of connotation (+/- connotation) has resulted in distinguishing two subtypes of syntactic constructions: 1. Non-connoted simple syntactic groups consisting of a verb and an adverb; 2. Con-noted simple syntactic groups consisting of a verb and an adverb. Within the first type of constructions two subtypes have been further identified on the basis of the presence or absence of the feature of accommodation (+/- accommodation) – constructions in which the adverb is not connoted and not accommodated and constructions that are not connoted but are accommodated with respect to the categories of person, number, aspect, tense, mood and polarity. Within the second type of constructions the presence or absence of the feature of accommodation (+/- accommodation) has also led to dis-tinguishing two subtypes: a group of syntactic constructions without accommodation according to person, number, aspect, tense, mood and polarity, and a restricted group of syntactic constructions that are accommodated according to the categories of polar-ity, person and number. The analysis employing the chosen methodology extends and refines previous descriptions of the simple syntactic constructions with a head verb and a subordinate adverb.

Authors: Aleksandrova Tatyana
Published: May 2022

The article discusses the possible realisations of simple syntactic groups formed by a head verb and a subordinate adjective in Bulgarian. One of the realisations of this construction is analysed in detail with respect to two linguistic mechanisms that play a role in linking lexemes in grammatically correct constructions: connotation and syntactic accommodation. The description of the members of the group takes into account the characteristics of the lexical classes that make it up as well as its syntactic variants. The paper also describes normative issues of the linguistic realisation of the group that arise from the selection of values for the grammatical categories of gender and number.

Конференцията се проведе под патро-нажа на Н. Пр. Тодор Стоянов, посланик на България в Рим, който лично присъства на откриването. Партньори на това значимо събитие бяха: Кампус Форли на Болонския университет, Министерство на об-разованието и науката, Национално издателство за образование и нау-ка „Аз-буки“, Български културен институт в Рим, Асоциация на лек-торите по български език, литература и култура, СУ „Св. Климент Охридски“, Асоциация Италия–България, Асоциация за българска култура „Будител“ в Неапол.
