Sistem fotovoltan terma (PVT) menggunakan fotovoltan dan pengumpul haba suria untuk mendapatkan haba dan elektrik. Memandangkan kedua-dua haba dan elektrik boleh dijana dan digunakan secara serentak, sistem PVT mempunyai keluaran tenaga yang lebih besar bagi setiap unit luas daripada modul PV atau pengumpul haba suria kendiri. Pengumpul PVT berasaskan udara menggunakan udara sebagai medium pemindahan haba dan corak aliran memberi kesan kepada prestasi pengumpul. Uji kaji telah dijalankan untuk menilai prestasi haba dan elektrik bagi pengumpul PVT berasaskan udara. Gabungan antara penjana termoelektrik (TE) dengan sistem PVT ialah cara yang inovatif untuk meningkatkan lagi penukaran tenaga suria dan meningkatkan kuasa elektrik. Selain mengurangkan suhu permukaan sel PV, kecerunan terma yang disebabkan oleh haba yang dijana dalam modul PV boleh menjana elektrik kerana kesan Seebeck oleh modul TE. Di samping itu, gabungan kedua-dua sistem mempunyai potensi untuk meningkatkan prestasi disebabkan oleh kesan tambahan kedua-dua sistem. Penjana termoelektrik dapat menggunakan sisa haba sistem suria untuk mencipta tenaga tambahan seterusnya meningkatkan jumlah keluaran kuasa dan kecekapan sistem hibrid PVT-TE. Kesan kadar alir jisim dan keamatan sinaran juga diselidik. Kajian dilakukan pada kadar alir jisim udara 0.009 kg/s, 0.021 kg/s, 0.039 kg/s, 0.069 kg/s dan 0.095 kg/s dan keamatan cahaya antara 455.64 W/m2 hingga 795.18 W/m2. Nilai ini digunakan dalam menghitung kecekapan terma dan elektrik bagi sistem PVT yang dicadangkan. Kuasa keluaran keseluruhan sistem PVT dibandingkan antara keadaan 'dengan TE' dan 'tanpa TE'. Secara keseluruhannya, pertambahan kuasa keluaran bagi sistem PVT-TE adalah lebih tinggi berbanding sistem PVT sebanyak 32.59% hingga 55.93%.

Published: January 2023

The article describes the cognitive artifacts of the metaverse within the framework of digital anthropology. Their role in the formation of a new social environment is investigated. Conceptual definitions of a cognitive artifact based on the theory of L.S. Vygotsky and his follower M. Cole. The forms of response by users of digital ecosystems to the spread of the influence of technology in society have been studied and the difference in this response has been stated. The reasons for this different response, due to structural changes in society, are shown. Attention is paid to the influence of cognitive artifacts of the metaverse on the perception of the consequences of emerging technological trends. It is stated that the modification of technological determinism in the form of metaverses contains different intentions of individual consciousness. This is due to the fact that the classical Internet is gradually giving way to new communication technologies, in which avatars, digital twins and immersive space plays an important role.
L. Wittgenstein: «mystery» and «mysticism» in the interpretation of the value content of science
Authors: Baryshkov Vladimir P.
Published: January 2023

In L. Wittgensteins philosophy, the concept of life and the concept of the world as sides of the man science dichotomy differ and correlate, despite the fact that the position of the thinker is traditionally considered in line with the philosophy of analysis and the positivist methodology of science. The conducted critical analysis of the literature and the proposed interpretation of the philosophers views show that Wittgensteins ideas go beyond the boundaries of the consideration of scientific reason and the language of science into the field of culture. On the other hand, some of his ideas allow us to draw a conclusion about the reverse influence of culture through the expert evaluation function of philosophy in relation to the statements of science.

Published: January 2023

Neurodegenerative disorders present a current challenge for accurate diagnosis and for providing precise prognostic information. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), may take several years to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Due to the increased aging population in developed countries, neurodegenerative diseases such as AD and PD have become more prevalent and thus new technologies and more accurate tests are needed to improve and accelerate the diagnostic procedure in the early stages of these diseases. Deep learning has shown significant promise in computer-assisted AD and PD diagnosis based on MRI with the widespread use of artificial intelligence in the medical domain. This article analyses and evaluates the effectiveness of existing Deep learning (DL)-based approaches to identify neurological illnesses using MRI data obtained using various modalities, including functional and structural MRI. Several current research issues are identified toward the conclusion, along with several potential future study directions.

Published: January 2023

Colon cancer is the second leading dreadful disease-causing death. The challenge in the colon cancer detection is the accurate identification of the lesion at the early stage such that mortality and morbidity can be reduced. In this work, a colon cancer classification method is identified out using Dragonfly-based water wave optimization (DWWO) based deep recurrent neural network. Initially, the input cancer images subjected to carry a pre-processing, in which outer artifacts are removed. The pre-processed image is forwarded for segmentation then the images are converted into segments using Generative adversarial networks (GAN). The obtained segments are forwarded for attribute selection module, where the statistical features like mean, variance, kurtosis, entropy, and textual features, like LOOP features are effectively extracted. Finally, the colon cancer classification is solved by using the deep RNN, which is trained by the proposed Dragonfly-based water wave optimization algorithm. The proposed DWWO algorithm is developed by integrating the Dragonfly algorithm and water wave optimization.

Published: January 2023

Text clustering has been widely utilized with the aim of partitioning speci?c documents’ collection into different subsets using homogeneity/heterogeneity criteria. It has also become a very complicated area of research, including pattern recognition, information retrieval, and text mining. In the applications of enterprises, information mining faces challenges due to the complex distribution of data by an enormous number of different sources. Most of these information sources are from different domains which create difficulties in identifying the relationships among the information. In this case, a single method for clustering limits related information, while enhancing computational overheadsand processing times. Hence, identifying suitable clustering models for unsupervised learning is a challenge, specifically in the case of MultipleAttributesin data distributions. In recent works attribute relation based solutions are given significant importance to suggest the document clustering. To enhance further, in this paper, Hybrid Multi Attribute Relation Methods (HMARs) are presented for attribute selections and relation analyses of co-clustering of datasets. The proposed HMARs allowanalysis of distributed attributes in documents in the form of probabilistic attribute relations using modified Bayesian mechanisms. It also provides solutionsfor identifying most related attribute model for the multiple attribute documents clustering accurately. An experimental evaluation is performed to evaluate the clustering purity and normalization of the information utilizing UCI Data repository which shows 25% better when compared with the previous techniques.

POLLEN: AN AMAZING MODEL SYSTEM TO STUDY A DISPARATE SERIES OF PLANT BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES
Authors: MIR Ricardo , VICENTE Oscar
Published: January 2023

Pollen, the male gametophyte of higher plants, represents an extremely interesting, and peculiar, experimental system for the study of diverse aspects of plant biology, apart from the - obvious - research on gametophytic development in itself. For example, cell cycle progression, as the formation of mature pollen from the microspore mother cells consists in a series of specific, often synchronous cell divisions: meiosis, the asymmetric microspore mitosis and the division of the generative pollen cell. Also, for the study of the interactions between the gametophyte and the sporophyte during pollen development, the formation of the - unusual - pollen wall or intracellular transport processes during pollen tube growth. Instead of dedifferentiating and forming a callus, as normally happens with any isolated plant cell, microspores isolated from the anthers can continue in vitro their normal developmental programme, giving rise to mature, functional pollen. However, triggered by specific stress treatments, microspores and immature pollen grains can switch towards sporophytic development with the formation of (haploid) embryos and plants. These and other unique characteristics of the pollen system will be discussed in this review

In the present paper, the metabolic profile was analysed in a group of adult Rhode Island hens extensively required for the production of IgY antibodies against bacterial entities. The results reveal changes in the leukocyte formula dominated by an increase in the percentage of heterophils and a decrease in the percentage of lymphocytes in the blood. An increase in the level of serum proteins with predominance of globulins is added to this. Increased uric acid levels were found also. Increased levels of GOT and GPT transaminases and -GT indicated an intensification of the protein metabolism, LDH and PA were not significantly modified. Regarding carbohydrate metabolism, it was found that serum glucose and lactate were maintained within physiological limits. The lipid profile was characterized by maintaining serum triglycerides and cholesterol within normal limits. Significant decrease in HDL and increase in LDL were interpreted as a decrease in the proteosynthetic capacity of the liver. The mineral profile was dominated by the increase of the level of sodium, iron, magnesium and calcium but by the decrease of the level of chlorine, potassium and phosphorus.

TIME SCENARIOS OF INTERACTION IN “TOMATO SEEDLINGS - Alternaria - FUNGAL ENDOPHYTES”
Authors: COSOVEANU Andreea , BARBU Lavinia , IACOMI Beatrice , DELIAN Elena , POMOHACI Cristian , CABRERA Raimundo
Published: January 2023

In biological control one of the most common approaches is selecting microorganisms with antagonistic traits. Yet, indirect mechanisms of plant growth promotion may give advantages in biotic stress by allowing plants to overcome the colonization of the pathogen. Rapid methods of combined antagonistic and plant growth promotion traits are scarce. Here we propose a method for screening potentially bioactive fungal endophytes in a tripartite interaction “endophytes - Alternaria - tomato seedlings”. Endophytes are known to interact with pathogens chemically inhibiting their growth or development by means of specific biologically active metabolites, mycoparasitism, or by competition for nutrients, or indirectly by inducing resistance mechanisms in the host. The proposed method here could substitute the conventional assays of antagonism in dual culture (i.e. fungus – fungus), having introduced from the beginning the central biological actor, the plant. Results indicate that the order of arrival of each actor determines if seedling colonization or enhancement of seedling growth occur as the antagonistic interaction between endophyte and pathogen may precede the latter beneficial interactions.

Published: January 2023

In this paper we reporte the presence of the species Lindernia dubia (L.) Pennell in the flora of Banat (SW Romania) and at the same time we present a new place for this species in Romania. We found the species on the lake Surduc area. This is a 362 ha artificial lake, a protected area (nature reserve of national interest). We found Lindernia dubia here for the first time in 2005, in flooded areas periodically (on clay soils), on the shore of the lake as well as in the nearby arable fields. We suppose he arrived here with the fish he brought to populate his lake or by seeds brought through the birds. The size of the population depends on the fluctuation of water level. Being an invasive species, we believe it is necessary to monitor it; Sîrbu and Oprea (2011) say it extends into characteristic habitats while Doroftei and Anastasiu (2014) consider it one of the most abundant invasive species from the Danube Delta.

Published: January 2023

Microplastics represent one of the most important concerns of the actual society. With a long environmental persistence, these plastic based particles are transported by the flow and deposited in sedimentary systems. This paper describes the distribution of microplastics in fluvial and lacustrine environments of the Danube Delta. Taking into account that the River Danube and its main distributaries (Kilia, Sulina and St. George) are the primary pathways along which MPs are transferred to the Black Sea, the superficial sedimentary material could testify the pollution degree. Microplastic concentrations identified previously by Pojar et al. (2021a) and the data of flow velocities and fluxes at different hydrological regimes were considered to characterise the MPs distribution, as their abundance and morphology change due to the discharge and currents speed. Our results show that moderate to higher concentrations have been found in the first and second rank locations, related closely with the main distributaries. Complementary, we discuss how hydrodynamics can elucidate the spatial distribution of MPs in the Danube Delta, as well as their path and behaviour in a regional-scale aquatic environment.

To establish the dependence of the influence of tillage and fertilization system in the conditions of short-rotation grain-fallow-cultivated crop rotation on the degree of weediness of winter wheat is the aim of the paper. Field and laboratory methods were used. The research was carried out in a long-term out-station experiment of Veselopodilsk research and selection station, on typical low-alkalinized chornozem black soil. The use of combined tillage contributed to the growth of weediness of crops, where in the unfertilized version there were 50.3 pcs/m<sup<2</sup<, while using the plowing 46.8 pcs/m<sup<2</sup< were observed. When using the organic-mineral fertilization system 21.9 pcs/m<sup<2</sup< in combined tillage, and 16.4 pcs/m<sup<2</sup< in plowing were counted. When plowing post-harvest residues, an increase in the number of weeds was observed due to the use of plowing - 23.7 pcs./m<sup<2</sup<, and the use of combined tillage - 20.8 pcs/m<sup<2</sup<. Plowing contributed to the appearance of fewer weeds than in combined tillage, both in the unfertilized plot and with the use of organic-mineral fertilization system by 3.7 and 5.5 pcs/m<sup<2</sup<, respectively. Plowing of post-harvest residues on the background of mineral fertilizing during plowing increased by 2.9 pcs/m<sup<2</sup< compared to combined tillage. The use of fertilizers significantly reduced weediness of crops, regardless of the type of tillage.

In this study it was aimed to investigate the effect of biogas digested (BD) on the growth and some potential toxic element (B, Cd, Cr, Ni, Co and Pb) concentrations of wheat grown under greenhouse conditions. For this reason, 0, 15 and 30 tha<sup<-1</sup< of BD were applied to the soils and left incubations during 0, 30 and 60 days. After incubation period is ended wheat seeds were sawn and left for growth during 2 months. Results indicated that BD dosages and incubation periods increased plant dry weight. Applications of BD did not affect B, Cd and Co concentrations of wheat and Cr and Ni concentrations decreased generally with the BD dosages. Similarly, incubation showed decreasing effect on Pb concentration of wheat. Plant Co, Cr and Pb uptakes did not vary with the applications, other element uptakes increased in the parallels of plant dry weights. Looking at the element concentrations of wheat it was seen that all element concentrations were in the ranges of acceptable levels. So, it was concluded that the application of BD did not pose a risk for potential toxic elements on the growth of the wheat.

The article explores some aspects of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), approaches to their classification and possible areas of application. The main advantages and disadvantages of using unmanned aerial vehicles of different types (quadcopter and aircraft type) in comparison with classical aerial photography and ground shooting are revealed. The features of UAV aerial photography at different stages of semi-automatic mode are considered. Aerial photography of a local object (land with vegetation and the building of the NULES of Ukraine building) was performed by a quadcopter with the subsequent acquisition of an orthophoto, a digital model, construction of a 3D image and a further topographic plan of scale 1:500. Surveying materials were proceeded with a specialized Pix4D program. We counted the time needed to perform separate stages of material processing. In this case, all stages of processing were performed in automatic mode, except for entering coordinates of anchor points. The main disadvantage of this program was the need to form a 3D model in manual mode without the possibility of phased saving. The article offers a classification of the main problems of using UAVs, namely: regulatory, technical and scientific. The comparative assessment of the use of technologies of tacheometric survey, terrestrial scanning, lidar and aerial photography with UAV and their use for land cover monitoring purposes was made.

Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum are two closely related protozoan parasites that can cause reproductive disorders in ruminants. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of N. caninum and T. gondii infections in a dairy cattle farm in South-Eastern Romania. For this, a total of 157 blood samples from 84 dairy cows and 73 heifers with reproductive disorders were analyzed for N. caninum specific antibodies. In addition, of these, 127 samples (54 dairy cows and 73 heifers), were also analyzed for T. gondii specific antibodies by using commercial ELISA kits. Overall, 5.1% (95% CI: 1.66-8.54) and 11.8% (95% CI: 6.20-17.42) of tested animals were seropositive for N. caninum and T. gondii, respectively, and 1.6% (95% CI: 0.59-3.74) were positive for both parasites. The apparent seroprevalence of N. caninum and T. gondii, respectively, according to the analyzed category, varied between 7.1% and 9.3% (dairy cows) and from 2.7% and 13.7% (heifers). These results emphasize the need of periodical screenings for N. caninum and T. gondii infections, associated with applying appropriate control measures, in the frame of good management practices.

Bu makalenin konusunu, Pulur Höyük'te 2021 yılında yıllar sonra yeniden başlayan kazı çalışmalarında açığa çıkarılan ve Karaz-Erken Transkafkasya kültürü seramikleri içinde ayrı bir mal grubu olarak değerlendirilmesi gereken “grafit astarlı seramikler” oluşturmaktadır. Karaz kültürü ile ilgili çok sayıda bilimsel yayın olmasına karşın, grafit astarlı seramik mal grubundan bu yayınlarda çok fazla bahsedilmemektedir. Söz konusu seramik grubu, analitik çalışma eksikliğinde görüntü itibariyle daha çok parlak siyah astarlı mallar veya mika astarlı mallar olarak ele alınabilmektedir. Seramik yüzeyindeki parlaklığın açkılama ile mi yoksa mika, grafit gibi bir mineral aracılığıyla mı sağlandığı ancak analitik çalışmalarla ortaya konabilmektedir. Makale kapsamında ele alınan seramik grubundan 2 örnek üzerinde Mikro Raman Spektroskopi, X-Işını Fotoelektron Spektroskopi (XPS) ve X-Işınları Floresan Spektroskopisi (XRF) analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Makalenin amacı, Karaz kültürünün yayılım sahası içinde önemli bir konuma sahip Erzurum-Kars Platosu’nda daha önce ayrıca üzerinde durulmamış bu mal grubuna dikkati çekmek ve bilim dünyasına duyurmaktır. Makalede araştırma sahasının jeolojik yapısı ve grafit minerali, arkeolojik açıdan grafit ile ilgili bulgular, Pulur Höyük 2021 yılı kazı çalışmaları ve burada ortaya çıkarılan grafit astarlı seramikler üzerinde durulacaktır.

Authors:   Yunnan University, Putian Pu
Published: January 2023

The year 2020 was a decisive year when China won a nationwide battle against poverty to build a moderately well-to-do society. The key to combat poverty was placed on practical measures to identify poverty-stricken areas. One of the measures to relieve large numbers of people from poverty was relocation. Yunnan province is predominantly mountainous or hilly with many poor counties that often suffer from natural disasters. Taking the case of a typically poor, mountainous, and highly inaccessible Jinggu County for a special study, this paper evaluates the process of relocating 3,721 households during the years between 2016 and 2018, and the resolution of a series of subsequent problems after relocation. By means of a questionnaire survey, the investigation focuses on the manner by which relocation was carried out and the management of problems that followed. By means of a series of response measures and suggestions, the study will attempt to provide a useful reference on poverty alleviation through a relocation model.
