An Optimum 1D Velocity Model for the Garhwal–Kumaun Himalaya Using Monte Carlo Style Inversion
Authors: Kanaujia Jyotima , Ravi Kumar M. , Vijayaraghavan R. , Solomon Raju P.
Published: July 2023

A Monte Carlo based algorithm is developed to improve the 1D velocity inversion routines and minimize bias due to the choice of a starting model. Using this algorithm, a well-resolved six-layer minimum 1D velocity model, down to ∼24 km depth, is determined for the Garhwal–Kumaun Himalaya. A total of 4765 P- and 4724 S-phase travel times of local earthquakes recorded at 53 broadband seismic stations are used for this purpose. The travel time–distance curves from these carefully analyzed phase data of events are used to subsequently derive a prior 1D velocity model. Forward modeling of the travel time–distance curve yields an average Moho depth of ∼46 km and bulk crustal P- and S-wave velocity values of 7.60 and 4.47 km/s, respectively. To circumvent the subjectivity due to manual intervention in the inversion and automate the process, we propose a Monto Carlo style semirandom generation of initial trial velocity models, guided by the initial values derived from forward modeling. The estimated minimum 1D model reveals P- and S-wave velocities increasing from 5.17 to 6.85 km/s and 3.12 to 3.82 km/s, respectively, from the surface to a depth of 26 km. Subsequently, an optimum model is constructed for the region by incorporating the Moho layer in the minimum 1D model.
Comunicação, informação e manipulação: o componente ideológico

A comunicação não é um mero fazer informativo. É necessária a resposta, o feedbak do receptor. Sem que isso ocorra não se configura o processo de comunicação. Esta deve ser direta, clara, precisa, de ambas as partes: emissor, receptor. As possibilidades de ruídos, de dúvidas que venham a surgir devem ser esclarecidas, por vezes até pessoalmente. Hoje, há necessidade de economia de tempo e dispõe-se de recursos tecnológicos para que isso ocorra, muitas vezes em tempo real. Encontrada a decisão a ser tomada para o que deve ser realizado, as providências devem ser tomadas. Há profissionais especializados nessa era informatizada: um influencer digital ou creators - alguém capaz de influenciar pessoas através da sua produção de conteúdo nas redes sociais; ou um expertise (portador de conhecimento(s) adquirido(s) com base no estudo de determinado assunto. Há que lembrar que lidamos com seres humanos e muitos são extremamente competitivos. Daí que cabe atentar para um componente importantíssimo: o componente ideológico. E nele incluímos: competição, ressentir-se do fato de não gozar do prestígio dos que buscam atualizar-se, aperfeiçoar-se. Há que respeitá-los. Eles estão ocupando o espaço conquistado por eles, fruto do esforço do trabalho deles. Um judeu admira seus concorrentes mais bem sucedidos, respeita-os, aproxima-se deles, busca estabelecer relações de amizade, de convivência e de confiança e cresce COM eles, não CONTRA eles. O povo judeu assim se comporta, o que faz com que os judeus sejam o povo mais próspero da história da humanidade.

Authors: Shirzad Hosein , Movassagh Mohammad Hosein
Published: July 2023

Introduction: In recent years, interest in consumption of ready-food products has increased in many countries. Due to the fact that hamburgers and kebabs are the most popular meat products in Iran, this study is conducted with the aim of investigating the microbial quality of raw hamburgers and koobideh kebabs in Sanandaj city.
Methods: In this study, 100 samples of frozen raw hamburgers with 60% meat and koobideh kebabs (50 samples each) were randomly obtained from the supply centers of meat products and traditional barbecue shops from September to December 2021. Then the samples were sent to food microbiology laboratory and evaluated for microbial contamination.
Results: Results showed that the rates of contamination of raw hamburger and koobideh kebab for total bacterial count were 24% and 40%, Escherichia coli 6% and 12%, Salmonella 0%, mold and yeast 36% and 82%, and Staphylococcus aureus 20% and 76%, respectively. These results showed that mold, yeast, and Staphylococcus aureus were the most contaminating organisms (p<0/001).
Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, the raw hamburger has better microbial quality than koobideh kebab; therefore, compliance with all health standards in food factories and the correct application of personal and environmental hygiene points in the production and preparation of food will have a great effect in reducing the cases of foodborne diseases.
Conductometric, Spectrophotometric and Computational Investigation of Binary and Ternary Complexes of Co(II) and Cu(II) Bivalent Metal Ions with L-Valine Amino Acid and Paracetamol Drug
Authors: ALABBSİ Aisha , ZİDAN Mohamed , SHNİN Nouria , ALDOORİ Bakr
Published: July 2023

The conductivity and spectrophotometry techniques were employed to evaluate the binary and ternary complexes of the divalent metal ions Co(II) and Cu(II) with the physiologically relevant amino acid L-Valine (Val) and the analgesic paracetamol. The conductivity experiments were generated by direct conductivity equation from conductivity titration data, while the spectrophotometry experiments were performed using the continuous variations approach (Job's method). Both techniques were accomplished in an aqueous solution with a constant concentration of 0.004 M of divalent metal ions at (40.0 ± 0.1) °C. The binary complexes of Co(II) and Cu(II) have a 1:1 binding ratio of metal to paracetamol (M:para). However, the binary complexes of Co(II) and Cu(II) have metal: Val binding ratios of either 1:1 or 2:1. In addition, the Cu(II) binary complexes of both ligands have a higher stability constant than Co(II) binary complexes of paracetamol and Val ligands, which was in good agreement with the Rossotti-Willime order. The ternary complexes of Co(II) and Cu(II) have a 1:1:1 binding ratio of metal to paracetamol: L-valine, (M:para:Val). The stability constants were in order: The ternary metal complexes > The binary metal-L-Val complexes > The binary metal-para complexes. DFT (Density Functional Theory) simulations were used in order to gain a better understanding of the molecular interactions of Co(II) and Cu(II) divalent metal ions with L-Val and paracetamol. Calculations were made on the electronic structure, HOMOs and LUMOs, and molecular geometry of complexes and their corresponding ligands. The findings unequivocally demonstrate that the metal ion is bound to both the amide nitrogen in the paracetamol ligand and the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group. Moreover, the metal ion is bound to the nitrogen atom of the amine NH2 group and the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group for the L-Val ligand.

Preservatives are most often used to maintain the quality of foods for longer time periods. It has been reported that chemicals, which are used as preservatives have some effects (positive or negative) on the nutritive indices of foods. This research was carried out to investigate the effect of some selected preservatives on the nutritive indices of kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). The matured P. vulgaris used for this research were collected in bags from the area of cultivation. Following the established research guidelines, the seeds were prepared and sent to laboratory for analysis prior to storage with selected preservatives. The selected preservatives were procured and prepared for the experimental purpose under standard protocols. The kidney beans were divided into airtight containers and labeled in group 1 to 5, which were preserved with selected preservatives; (DDVP) (sniper), birds eye pepper and Aluminium phosphide, while the fourth group was mixed with ash and the fifth group was left without mixing with any preservative to serve as control. The beans mixed with preservative were left to stay on standard research procedure for 6 months. Standard procedures were used to assess the effect of the preservatives on the proximate compositions, mineral contents, and amino acid concentrations, respectively compared with the control group, which was not mixed with the preservatives. Results of the research showed varying effects of the different preservatives on the beans mixed with preservatives when compared with the control group. There was an observed improvement on the proximate composition of the beans preserved with some of the selected preservatives while some beans were negatively affected as the preservative affected the nutritive quality as compared to control groups; same results were observed for the mineral nutrient constituents and amino acid concentrations. The observed improvements in the experimental parameters showed that the chemicals in some groups were more effective for some aspects while natural preservatives were better for other measured criteria. The effectiveness of the preservatives for a longer shelf life and stop or delay the growth of bacteria, suppress the reaction when food comes in contact with oxygen or heat, they also prevent the loss of some essential amino-acids and some vitamins enhance the food flavors and colors. The results of this study showed that some of the selected preservatives used on the kidney beans suggested that kidney beans could improve the shelf life and improve nutritive value.

Biskupi w obradach sejmu grodzieńskiego 1793 roku
Authors: Stroynowski Andrzej
Published: July 2023

Na sejmie grodzieńskim pojawiła się wyjątkowo skąpa liczba senatorów, wśród których znalazło się tylko trzech biskupów: Józef Kossakowski, Ignacy Massalski i Wojciech Skarszewski. Ich udział w obradach był niezbędny dla zapewnienia względnej legalności sejmu rozbiorowego w Grodnie, ponieważ musieli reprezentować episkopat z Wielkopolski, Małopolski i Litwy. Musieli też uczestniczyć w pracach deputacji sejmowych, którym najczęściej przewodniczyli, co szczególnie często powierzano Skarszewskiemu. W tym wyjątkowym sejmie biskupi nie mieli możliwości uchylenia się od wyrażania swojego zdania w czasie głosowań, co przełożyło się na ich bardzo dużą aktywność oratorską. Wiązała się z tym konieczność prezentowania odpowiednich zdolności krasomówczych, którymi byli obdarzeni w nierównym stopniu. Szczególnie widoczne różnice występowały w sile ich głosu, której pozbawiony był już Massalski, najstarszy i najbardziej schorowany w ich gronie. Różnili się też umiejętnością doboru odpowiedniej argumentacji, szczególnie istotnej dla pozyskania poparcia w sprawie ratyfikacji cesji terytorialnych na rzecz Rosji i Prus, którą to umiejętność w najszerszym zakresie prezentował Kossakowski, zaś nieporadnością w tym względzie charakteryzował się Skarszewski. Wszyscy natomiast prezentowali jednakową uległość wobec żądań zaborców, kierując się interesem własnym (w tym pobierając pensje od ambasadorów) czy też bojaźliwością. Przez opinię publiczną uznani zostali za zdrajców i ostatecznie w 1794 r. dwaj z nich zostali skazani na karę śmierci; ułaskawienia doczekał się tylko Skarszewski, co nie zmienia jego oceny.

Authors: Thalib Mohamad Anwar
Published: July 2023

Purpose: This study aims to find the value of local wisdom behind income accounting practiced by traders in Gorontalo food stalls.Method: This study uses an Islamic paradigm with an Islamic ethnomethodological approach. There are five data analysis stages: charity, knowledge, faith, revelation information, and good deeds.Results: The study found that traders earn higher income on Thursday and Sunday nights. Meanwhile, traders experienced a decrease in their income during the Covid 19 pandemic. Traders used their income to finance operational, personal, and charity business needs. The income accounting practice lives with gratitude to God (mosukuru to Eya). In Islamic culture, elders often internalize these values through lumadu "diila o'onto, bo wolu-woluwo" which means invisible but there.Implications: The implication of this research is that it is an effort to preserve local culture-based income accounting.Novelty: This study presents the concept of income accounting based on local cultural values of the Gorontalo people.

Le dromadaire dans son milieu naturel
Authors: Peyre De Fabrègues Bernard
Published: July 2023

Le dromadaire est l'animal domestique le mieux adapté aux conditions de vie dans les régions arides, et à la rareté de l'eau et du pâturage qui les caractérisent. Son exceptionnelle aptitude à la marche et son éclectisme alimentaire lui permettent de composer sa ration fourragère avec les plantes très dispersées et souvent très épineuses qui constituent les parcours des zones arides. Capable de brouter les végétaux arbustifs hors d'atteinte des autres ruminants, il n'entre guère en compétition avec eux. Ajouté à ses habitudes déambulatoires et à son exclusivité dans les parcours où l'abreuvement est éloigné, cela fait qu'il est le moins enclin à dégrader gravement le milieu végétal. Sa légendaire résistance à la soif en a fait le compagnon indispensable de l'homme dans les vastes espaces désertiques.
L’haemonchose du dromadaire
Authors: Richard Didier
Published: July 2023

Plusieurs enquêtes effectuées depuis une trentaine d’années sur les parasites gastro-intestinaux du dromadaire ont montré des taux d’infestation élevés par Haemonchus longistipes. Certaines études ont également relevé l’importance clinique et économique de l’haemonchose cameline. L’auteur propose une synthèse des connaissances acquises sur cette maladie majeure pour le dromadaire et largement sous-estimée auparavant. Les éléments connus chez le dromadaire, ou pouvant être déduits de l’haemonchose du mouton beaucoup mieux étudié, sont présentés pour le parasite et son cycle, l’épidémiologie, la pathogénie, les symptômes et lésions, le diagnostic, le traitement et, en conclusion, les possibilités de prophylaxie. L’auteur insiste sur le caractère saisonnier de cette parasitose, les facteurs favorisants des infestations, le syndrome anémie-cachexie plus ou moins marqué selon les formes observées, le diagnostic différentiel, souvent difficile à établir, et la disponibilité d’un certain nombre de médicaments actifs. Une lutte contre cette maladie doit prendre en compte les particularités du mode d’élevage du dromadaire, et doit s’appuyer en grande partie sur les éleveurs.

Severe coronary artery calcifications remain a challenge for the contemporary interventional cardiologist in the light of the growing demand for diagnostic procedures and interventions in elderly patients; in addition, the general prognostic improvement after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is expanding the indications to PCI to increasingly complex anatomies. In the last decade, a renewed interest in the treatment of calcific lesions has been observed, with the aim to optimize the mechanic effects of balloon angioplasty and the expansion and apposition of DES to the vessel wall. However, patients with calcific coronary artery disease represent a subset with a high risk of adverse outcomes, both intra-procedural and in the long-term. The need to guarantee a targeted and tailored treatment based on the coronary anatomy of any individual patient is a current priority of the interventional community. The efficacy of rotational atherectomy in improving procedural success for the treatment of calcified lesions has been widely demonstrated. The advent of new technologies -especially of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL)-, the application of techniques and materials initially developed for as complex procedures as chronic total occlusions (CTO), the increasing experience of contemporary operators and the introduction of latest generation drug-eluting stents (DES) with excellent technical and structural properties, are further contributing to improving outcomes of current PCI for calcific lesions.
Cathepsin C: structure, function, and pharmacological targeting
Authors: Stojkovska Docevska Milena , Novinec Marko
Published: July 2023

Cathepsin C is a papain-like cysteine peptidase known primarily for its involvement in the activation of serine peptidases in neutrophils and other immune cells. Its critical role in this process qualifies cathepsin C as a target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, and its most advanced inhibitor, brensocatib (Insmed), is currently in phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. Beyond neutrophils, its importance is highlighted by loss-of-function mutations that cause the recessively inherited Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome. At the molecular level, cathepsin C has several structural and functional features that set it apart from other members of the family and enable its selective targeting. It possesses dipeptidyl-peptidase activity (its other common name is dipeptidyl-peptidase I) due to the presence of an additional exclusion domain that also controls its stepwise tetramerization during maturation. In this review article, we summarize the current state of the art regarding the biochemical properties of cathepsin C, its physiological and pathological roles in neutrophils and beyond, and recent advances in the development and evaluation of cathepsin C inhibitors.

The rhizosphere is where crucial processes for the productivity of viticultural systems occur. The composition of the bacterial communities associated with the rhizosphere of grapevines is known to depend on plant genotype. However, the genotype of grafted grapevines differs between scion and rootstock; the role of each genotype is unclear. To untangle the effect of scion and rootstock, the rRNA (V4–V5 region of 16S rRNA) extracted from the rhizosphere of the grape varieties Riesling and Mueller-Thurgau ungrafted vs grafted on different rootstocks was sequenced. The bioinformatic analysis with tools designed to be robust for compositional data showed that the investigated rootstocks or scions or combinations, respectively, recruited bacterial communities with distinguishable traits. Statistical differences were revealed between ungrafted Riesling vs Mueller-Thurgau, between grafted Riesling vs ungrafted Riesling, and between ungrafted Mueller-Thurgau vs grafted Mueller-Thurgau. Thus, confirming the role of scion and rootstock genotype as a driver of the structure and composition of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of grapevines.

Published: July 2023

The disruption era is characterized by massive, rapid and unpatterned changes, causing uncertainty, unclear direction and complex relationships between factors driving the change. This epoch is accelerated by the massive use of digital technology with several main characteristics, such as the increasing importance of artificial intelligence, the internet of things, virtual reality, and three-dimensional printing machines. Such rapid changes require private television managers to adapt broadcasting practices to capture opportunities and anticipate threats. Taking a case study of private television in Indonesia, this article explores how multiplatform broadcast media adjust to such rapid changes. Applying the value chain concept as a theoretical framework, this study investigates five essential aspects of the broadcast production chain: content creation, packaging, scheduling, distribution platform, and user interface. The research method was descriptive qualitative with in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies as the primary data collection methods. This study shows that the packaging aspect is a new strategy in multiplatform broadcasting management by determining the target audience of a packaged program. The user interface strategy using multiple platforms allows the interaction with the audience. The broadcasting work management system using Trello enables television workers to work anywhere without coming to the office. Flexibility and time efficiency are applied in broadcasting work management. At the same time, the target market of the millennial generation who rarely watches television but watches YouTube broadcasts is responded by designing programs and channels that are more suited to the millennial character. Keywords: Multiplatform broadcasting management, disruption era, broadcasting value chain, private television

A fire suppression system (FSS) monitoring system is a system to monitor the FSS devices’ status since FSS is a critical system to respond to fire disasters. The monitoring system collects data on important parameters which are water pressure, main power status, and backup power status. The FSS monitoring system is built with an IoT capability where data are collected from the FSS module and sent to the IoT platform through Wi-Fi based Internet connection. Then the data will be displayed in a dashboard application. A QoS assessment framework is referred to and performed to check the performance of the FSS monitoring system, namely the TIPHON framework, which consists of five parameters: bandwidth, throughput, packet loss, delay, and jitter. The overall score for the FSS system using the TIPHON standard is 3.2 or categorized as “good”.

Published: July 2023

After the Covid-19 pandemic, the number of investors in Indonesia has proliferated. In managing a good stock portfolio, investors need the right strategy too. One approach that can be applied is to predict stock movements by considering the company's industrial sector. This paper proposed a new framework for applying deep transfer learning for stock forecasting in multi-industry. The model used in the framework is a combined algorithm between Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM). The author built the pre-trained model using Indeks Harga Saham Gabungan (IHSG) and transferred it to predict Indonesia's stock indexes based on industry classification (IDX-IC) as the measurer of stock movement in multiple industries. The outcomes reveal that this framework produces good model predictions and can be used to help analyze the evaluation of the pre-trained model to conduct transfer learning stock prediction in different industries efficiently. The model built using the IHSG indexes can predict stock prices best in the energy, technology, and industrial sectors.

Palladium-Rhenium Catalysts for Selective Hydrogenation of Furfural: Influence of Catalyst Preparation on Structure and Performance
Authors: Thompson Simon T. , Lamb H. Henry
Published: July 2023

PdRe/Al2O3 catalysts are highly selective for hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol (FAL). Moreover, synergy between the metals can result in greater specific activity (higher turnover frequency, TOF) than exhibited by either metal alone. Bimetallic catalyst structure depends strongly on the metal precursors employed and their addition sequence to the support. In this work, PdRe/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by: (i) co impregnation (CI) and sequential impregnation (SI) of  Al2O3 using HReO4 and Pd(NO3)2, (ii) SI using NH4ReO4 and [Pd(NH3)4(NO3)2], (iii) HReO4 addition to a reduced and passivated Pd/Al2O3 catalyst, and (iv) impregnation with the double complex salt (DCS), [Pd(NH3)4(ReO4)2]. Raman spectroscopy and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) evidence larger supported PdO crystallites in catalysts prepared using Pd(NO3)2 than [Pd(NH3)4(NO3)2]. Surface [ReO4]- species detected by Raman exhibit TPR peak temperatures from ranging 85 to 260°C (versus 375°C for Re/Al2O3). After H2 reduction at 400°C, the catalysts were characterized by chemisorption, temperature-programmed hydride decomposition (TPHD), CO diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. The CI catalyst containing supported Pd-Re alloy crystallites had a TOF similar to Pd/Al2O3 but higher (61%) FAL selectivity. In contrast, catalysts prepared by methods (ii-iv) containing supported Pd-Re nanoparticles exhibit higher TOFs and up to 78% FAL selectivity.
