Authors:   Hydraulics and Hydrology Laboratory. España, Giménez Suárez Martín C. , García Rodríguez José L. ,   Department of Forest Engineering, Hydraulics and Hydrology Laboratory. España
Published: March 2021

Muchos de los modelos ambientales dependen en gran medida de la precisión en las estimaciones de pendiente. Un sistema de información geográﬁca (SIG) puede extraer ángulos de pendiente desde modelos de elevación digital (DEM en inglés) usando los denominados algoritmos de pendiente. En este trabajo se busco veriﬁcar diferencias en la estimación del valor de pendiente, calculados a partir de 9 diferentes algoritmos matemáticos sobre DEMs de 10 m de resolución. El software utilizado ha sido los GIS, ArcGIS® 9.2 y SEXTANTE®. Este último permite la posibilidad de poder elegir con que algoritmo poder calcular los valores de pendiente sobre una cuenca, a diferencia de ArcGis® que solo tiene una opción disponible. Los resultados indicaron que el algoritmo de Ajuste de Polinomio de 2º grado de Zevenbergen y Thorne (1987), resultó el más apropiado para la estimación de la inclinación de pendiente.

En el desarrollo de este trabajo se presenta la implementación de una metodología para la identificación de sitios potenciales de monitoreo de calidad de aguas superficiales en la cuenca del Río Grande (Colombia), a partir del uso de herramientas SIG y análisis multicriterio con el Método de las Jerarquías Analíticas (MJA). En la valoración de pesos en el análisis multicriterio se consideraron tres factores generales. Se realizó la ejecución del modelo de cuenca, integrado por los pesos de los criterios evaluados y por las fuentes de información cartográficas, utilizando herramientas de análisis espacial de ArcGIS. Los sitios potenciales se compararon con una red de monitoreo propuesta basada en el criterio de expertos. Aunque los resultados muestran concordancia en muchos casos, en otros, el método descarta los sitios propuestos, sugiriendo que el método puede servir como complemento en la selección de puntos de monitoreo basado en el criterio de expertos.
Kalkınma Literatüründen Hareketle Enerji-Büyüme İlişkisi
Authors: AYDIN Bayram
Published: March 2021

Enerjinin zaman içerisinde üretim sürecinde kazandığı önem iktisat okullarını enerjinin üretim sürecindeki değerini açıklamaya yöneltmiştir. Neoklasik iktisat görüşü enerji kaynaklarını ara girdi olarak değerlendirirken, emek ve sermayeyi ana üretim faktörü kabul etmiştir. Bu yaklaşımdan ötürü Neoklasikler özellikle sermaye ve emeğe odaklanmış, enerjinin önemi üzerinde çok durmamışlardır. Neoklasik yaklaşım teknolojik gelişme sayesinde enerji olmadan da büyümenin gerçekleşeceğini, daha sonra gelen Ekolojik iktisatçılar ise, enerjinin temel üretim faktörü olduğunu ve enerjisiz ekonomik büyümenin sonlanacağını ileri sürmüştür. Enerjinin ekonomideki önemini Ekolojik (Biyofiziksel) iktisat yaklaşımı ile bulduğu söylenebilir. Bu görüşler iktisadi büyümenin sürdürülebilmesinde enerjinin stratejik rolünün büyüme-kalkınma literatüründe yerini sağlamlaştırmasına katkı sağlamıştır.

Authors: BERAM Abdullah , YAŞAR Samim , UZ Aytaç
Published: March 2021

Bu çalışmada, kızılçam (Pinus brutia Ten.) odunundan elde edilmiş yongalara 120, 160 ve 180 oC’lerde ısıl işlem uygulanmış ve yongalardan levhalar üretilmiştir. Kızılçamın kontrol ve ısıl işlem görmüş yongalarından üretilen levhalarda perforatör yöntemi ile formaldehit emisyonu değerleri belirlenmiştir. Levhaların yanma özellikleri ise tek kaynaklı alev testi yardımıyla incelenmiştir. Kontrol yongalarından üretilen levhalardan itibaren uygulanan sıcaklık derecesi arttıkça ısıl işlem görmüş yongalardan üretilen levhalarda elde edilen formaldehit emisyonu değerlerinde sürekli yükselmenin gerçekleştiği gözlenirken, levhaların yanma izi değerlerinde sürekli düşüş tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, ısıl işlem görmüş yongalardan üretilen levhaların iç ortamlarda kullanılacak ürünlerde değerlendirildiği taktirde formaldehit emisyonu salınımı bakımından ortamdaki hava kalitesi ve insan sağlığı üzerindeki olumsuz etkinin artacağı anlaşılmıştır. Bununla birlikte, ısıl işlem görmüş yongalardan üretilen levhaların kısmen yanmaya dayanıklı dış yapılarda kullanılmasının önerilebileceği görülmüştür.

The problems of privacy and security is becoming a major challenge when it comes to the distributed systems, federated machine learning system especially when data are been transmitted or learned on a network , this necessitated the reasons for this research work which is all about wireless federated machine learning process using a Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi 4 is a single hardware board with built in Linux operating system. We used data set of names from nine (9) different languages and then develop a training model using recurrent neural network to train this names compare to the names in the existing language like French, Scottish to predict if the names are from any of this language, this is done wirelessly with the Wi-Fi network in a federated machine learning environment for experimental setup with PySft’s that is installed in the python environment. The system was able to predict that name from which the language it originate from, the methodology that is implore in the research work is the Rapid Application Development (RAD). The benefits of this system are to ensure privacy, reduces the computing power, ensure real time learning and most importantly it is cost effective.

Published: March 2021

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder of public health concern since it is associated with complications, poor life quality and mortality. Synthetic drugs used in the treatment/management of diabetes are associated with one or more adverse side effects which could harm the patient even though they cure the patient of the condition. Hence, this study was undertaken to investigate the in vitro anti-diabetic properties of crude saponins extracts from Leptodenia hastata and Adansonia digitata L. leaves. The inhibition of glucose uptake by yeast cells and haemoglobin anti-glycation potential of the saponin extracts were evaluated at concentrations ranging between 4~20 mg/ml and 10~25 mg/mL respectively. Results revealed that the highest percentage inhibition of glucose uptake by the yeast cells was observed at 4 mg/ml, however, the percentage increase in glucose uptake by yeast cells for crude saponins from L. hastata (90.17±2.88 %) was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than crude saponins from A. digitata (88.57±0.23 %) but significantly lower (P < 0.05) than the metronidazole percentage increase in glucose uptake by yeast cells (97.22±0.32%). In the haemoglobin anti-glycation potential testing, the crude saponins extracts, as well as the metformin, showed a concentration-dependent activity with the highest percentage of haemoglobin anti-glycation being obtained at the highest tested concentration of 25 mg/mL. No significant difference was observed in the activities of crude saponins of L. hastata (57.50±0.39 %), A. digitata (58.73±1.04 %) and standard drug metformin (59.22±2.95 %). From the results obtained, it is rational to infer that both extracts showed anti-diabetic potentials and may be used in the management/treatment of diabetes or serve as good future promising candidates for the development of antidiabetic agents.

Published: March 2021

Phenotypic Variability of Sampled Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) Population were assessed. 30 matured samples of Clarias gariepinus of different sizes were bought from artisanal fisherfolks using various fishing gears, morphometric and meristic attributes and other adaptive traits were characterized. Phenotypic heterogeneity (Coefficient of Variability > 10%) and multiple modes in Meristic and morphometric Values were assessed to imply plasticity and taxonomic complications respectively. Twenty morphometric and nine meristic attributes were measured in all the collected individuals and measured to the nearest 0.01cm, using Vernier calipers. The mean value of meristic attributes varied from 6.20±0.93 in PELFR-R to 71.40±5.64 in DFR. Coefficient of variability of the population varied from 7.89 in DFR to 54.02 in PESES-L. Heterogeneity occurred in 77.8% of meristic attributes except DFR and CFR. Multiple modal was recorded in PESES-L, while the mean value of the morphometric attributes varied from 5.20±0.82 in OPD to 64.52±5.00 in DFL. Coefficient of variability of the population varied from 7.76 in DFL to 18.07 in CFW. Heterogeneity occurred in 82.4% of morphometric attributes. Five components accounted for 78.65% of the total variation using Principal Component Analysis on morphometric attributes. Two of the extracted components had CV > 10 (41.70%, and 15.02%). However, the scree plot shows the slope of the variation to favors the five component with Eigenvalue greater than one. The studied C. gariepinus population was characterized by heterogeneity of phenotypic values and the population can be taxonomically discriminated by meristic and morpho types.

Published: March 2021

Enzymes are among the most important products obtained for human needs through microbial sources. A large number of industrial processes in the area of industrial, environmental and food technology utilize enzymes at some stage or another; Solid State Fermentation (SSF) holds tremendous potential for the production of enzymes, especially in those processes where the crude fermented product may be used directly as the enzyme source. Fungal proteases are used in many industrial processes for the production of foods and metabolites, production of enzymes from fungi offered many advantages which include low cost and high productivity. Hence because of the higher yielding capacity of SSF and the demand for proteases it highly imperative to search for novel microorganisms from possible environment and subject them to SSF for protease investigation to add up to the nation need of the enzymes and boast economy.

Published: March 2021

Doxorubicin is a known anticancer drug used in treatment of various cancers including leukemias, lymphomas, soft-tissue sarcomas and solid tumors. Doxorubicin exerts its toxicity on the blood by causing bone marrow suppression, myelosuppression, pronounced marrow depression and bone marrow depletion, and hypoplasia This study investigated the effect of turmeric on the haematological parameters in doxorubicin-induced oxidative stress in Wistar rats. 54 adult Wistar rats were divided into 9 groups of six animals each. Group 1 animals served as control (normal saline), group 2 animals served as negative control, and received doxorubicin, group 3 animals were given doxorubicin and turmeric, group 4 animals received doxorubicin and vitamin C, group 5 animals received doxorubicin and vitamin E, group 6 animals received doxorubicin, vitamins C and turmeric, group 7 animals received doxorubicin, vitamin E and turmeric, while group 8 animals received doxorubicin, vitamin C and vitamin E and finally, group 9 animals receive doxorubicin, vitamin C, vitamin E and turmeric. The experiment lasted for 28 days and blood samples were collected from each animal from the various groups for haematological assay. Doxorubicin caused a significant decrease in the serum levels of white blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, platelet count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit and mean corpuscular volume. These changes were prevented by turmeric alone or in combined concomitant administration with vitamins C and or E and doxorubicin

Role of microRNAs derived from exosomes in pulmonary hypertension
Authors: Li Sha , Li Li-Sheng
Published: March 2021

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a debilitating progressive disease characterized by increased pulmonary arterial pressures, leading to right ventricular (RV) failure, heart failure and, eventually, death. PH is a rare disease involving many disciplines and has different epidemiological characteristics in different parts of the world. There are many causes of PH, but its pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. The occurrence and development of PH is closely related to pulmonary vascular remodeling and abnormal function. At present, the treatment of PH includes drug treatment and non-drug treatment. These treatments can effectively improve the symptoms of PH patients, prolong the life of patients, but can’t completely cure the symptoms of PH, therefore, in order to find some more effective treatments, people need to invest more time and energy to study its pathogenesis. Exosomes have gradually become the focus of research, exosomes are rich in nucleic acids and proteins, including a large amount of microRNAs. Studies have shown that exosomes microRNAs from different cells or tissue sources play an important role in cardiovascular diseases including PH and is expected to become a new way to treat PH. Therefore, this article reviews the role of microRNAs from different cells or tissue sources in the occurrence and development of PH.

Nearly all undergraduate psychology programs in the United States (99%) offer an Introductory Psychology (IP) course (Norcross et al., 2016). Yet, there is a surprising dearth of information relating to the learning outcomes and course designs employed in IP, nor is information readily available regarding the training and support of those who teach it. Over the past 12 years, American Psychological Association (APA) working groups have made recommendations intended to strengthen IP but no empirical data are available concerning the efficacy or impact of those recommendations. This national census of IP instructors, conducted by APA’s Introductory Psychology Initiative (IPI), surveyed instructors of the course nationally to investigate how past IP recommendations have been implemented and to develop a baseline understanding of the current state and structure of the IP course. The census was structured in four parts, paralleling the four subgroups of the IPI: Student Learning Outcomes and Assessment; Course Models and Design; Teacher Training and Development; and Student Success and Transformation. We provide an overview of who teaches the course, how it is taught, how instructors’ teaching skills are developed and supported, and the extent to which evidence-based learning strategies are incorporated into the IP course.
Boosting the impact of charitable giving
Authors: Caviola Lucius , Greene Joshua D.

The most effective charities are hundreds of times more impactful than typical charities. Yet most donors favor charities with personal/emotional appeal over effectiveness. We gave donors the option to split their donations between their personal favorite charity and an expert-recommended highly effective charity. This bundling technique increased donors’ impact without undermining their altruistic motivation, boosting effective donations by 76%. An additional boost of 55% was achieved by offering matching donations with increasing rates for allocating more to the highly effective charity. We show further that matching funds can be provided by donors focused on effectiveness through a self-sustaining process of micro-matching. We applied these techniques in a new online donation platform (GivingMultiplier.org) which fundraised over 1.5 million USD in its first 14 months. While prior applied research on altruism has focused on the quantity of giving, the present results demonstrate the value of focusing on the effectiveness of altruistic behavior.
The Development and Validation of the Short Form of the Foreign Language Enjoyment Scale

The Foreign Language Enjoyment Scale (FLES) was originally introduced by Dewaele and MacIntyre (2014). We used a data set with n = 1,603 learners of foreign languages (FL) to develop and validate the Short Form of the Foreign Language Enjoyment Scale (S-FLES). The data was split into two groups and we used the first sample to develop the short-form measure. A three-factor hierarchical model of FLE was uncovered, with FLE as a higher order factor and Teacher Appreciation, Personal Enjoyment, and Social Enjoyment as three lower order factors. We selected three items for each of the three lower order factors of the S-FLES. The proposed nine-item short form of FLE was validated in the second sample, and the fit statistics for the factor structure indicated close fit. Further evidence was found to support the internal consistency, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the S-FLES. The S-FLES provides a valid and reliable short-form measure of FLE, which can easily be included in any battery of assessments examining individual differences in language learning.
Second Chances in Learning: Does a Resit Prospect Lower Study-Time Investments on a First Test?

Previous studies have shown that the prospect of a resit opportunity lowers hypothetical study-time investments for a first exam, as compared to a single-chance exam (i.e., the resit effect). The present paper describes a first experiment in which we aimed to generalize this effect from hypothetical study-time investments to a learning task allowing for the optimization of actual study-time investments while participants studied pairs of pseudowords for a subsequent multiple-choice test, given either a single chance or two chances to pass. Against our expectations, the results of the experiment showed no resit effect for the amount of actual time participants spent studying the materials in the experimental learning task. To better allow for the optimization of study-time investments, the learning task was adapted for a second experiment to include an indication of passing probability. These results, however, also did not show a resit effect. A third experiment addressed whether it was the investment of actual time that led to this absence of a resit effect with the learning task. The results suggested, however, that it was most likely the lack of a priori deliberation that caused this absence of the effect. Taken together with findings from a fourth questionnaire study showing that students seem to take a resit prospect into account by indicating they would have studied more for an exam if the option to resit would not have been available, these findings lead us to argue that a resit prospect may primarily affect advance study-time allocation decisions.
Do embodied effects reflect the consequences rather than the causes of meaning? - "Ja!"
Authors: Tomaschek Fabian
Published: March 2021

It has been shown that a movement in a direction incongruent with the spatial semantics of words typically requires more time than movements that are directionally congruent. Two explanations have been proposed for this effect. Either a word's meaning is understood by using an internal model to simulate a word's meaning -- and incogruent directionality needs time to be resolved. Or words simply serve to reduce hearers' uncertainty about future states of the world, facilitating actions that prepare for them. However, since previous experiments have focused on actions that are directly involved in the exploration of space, they provide evidence for both hypotheses. Experiment 1 of the present study avoids this shortcoming. We investigated the basic downwards directed articulatory gesture producing a high-frequency German word, "ja" (yes), in response to reading words with vertical semantics. This task is thus completely unrelated to the semantics of the words. We show that tongue movements are systematically modulated by verticality ratings collected from the same speakers. To investigate the source of the effect, we performed two additional, linguistically unrelated experiments. Experiment 2 demonstrates anti-phasic coupling between tongue body movements and vertical arm and leg movements. Experiment 3 investigates tongue body movements prior to head movements and uncovers preparatory tongue raising to head raising in contrast to head lowering. Taken together, the results indicate that the changes in "ja" associated with vertical semantics most likely emerge from anticipating a head movement in the direction of the spatial target associated with the read word in order to optimize the body position for subsequent actions. Thus, the results support the assumption that words reduce the uncertainty about future states of the world.
Alexithymia explains atypical spatio-temporal dynamics of eye gaze in autism

Recognition of emotional facial expressions is considered to be atypical in autism. This difficulty is thought to be due to the way that facial expressions are visually explored. Evidence for atypical visual exploration of emotional faces in autism is, however, equivocal. We propose that, where observed, atypical visual exploration of emotional facial expressions is due to alexithymia, a distinct but frequently co-occurring condition. In this eye-tracking study we tested the alexithymia hypothesis using a number of recent methodological advances to study eye gaze during several emotion processing tasks (emotion recognition, intensity judgements, free gaze), in 25 adults with, and 45 without, autism. A multilevel polynomial modelling strategy was used to describe the spatiotemporal dynamics of eye gaze to emotional facial expressions. Converging evidence from traditional and novel analysis methods revealed that atypical gaze to the eyes is best predicted by alexithymia in both autistic and non-autistic individuals. Information theoretic metrics also revealed differential effects of task on gaze patterns as a function of alexithymia, but not autism. These findings highlight factors underlying atypical emotion processing in autistic individuals, with wide-ranging implications for emotion research.
Training Working Memory for Two Years – No Evidence of Transfer to Intelligence
Authors: Watrin Luc , Hülür Gizem , Wilhelm Oliver

Working memory (WM) training has been proposed as a promising intervention to enhance cognitive abilities, but convincing evidence for transfer to untrained abilities is lacking. Prevalent limitations of WM training studies include the narrow assessment of both WM and cognitive abilities, the analysis of manifest variables subject to measurement error, and training dosages too low to likely cause changes in the cognitive system. To address these limitations, we conducted a two-year longitudinal study to investigate the effects of working memory training on latent factors of working memory capacity, fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence. 112 students initially attending 9th grade practiced a heterogenous set of validated WM tasks on a bi-weekly basis. A control group of 113 students initially attending 9th grade participated in the pretest and posttest. Broad and prototypical measures of fluid and crystallized intelligence served as measures of nearer and farer transfer. We found substantial and reliable training effects on the practiced WM tasks, as well as on a latent WM factor constituted by them. However, no transfer of training effects to fluid or crystallized intelligence were observed. These results add to the literature questioning the utility and validity of WM training as means of improving cognitive abilities.

Lack of self-control has long been theorized to predict an individual’s likelihood to engage in antisocial behaviors. However, existing definitions of self-control encompass multiple psychological constructs and lab-based measures of aggression have not allowed for the examination of aggression upon provocation where self-control is needed most. We introduce two versions of a novel paradigm, the Retaliate or Carry-on: Reactive AGgression Experiment (RC-RAGE) to fill this methodological gap. Using large online samples of US adults (N = 354 and N = 366), we test to what extent dispositional impulsivity, self-control, aggression, and state anger contribute to aggression upon provocation when there is a financial cost involved. Results showed that costly retaliation on this task was related to trait aggression and being in an angry emotional state, but not related to social desirability. Importantly, we show that the tendency to act impulsively is a better predictor of costly retaliation than other forms of self-control, such as the ability to delay gratification, resist temptation, or plan ahead. As a browser-based task, the RC-RAGE provides a tool for the future investigation of reactive aggression in a variety of experimental settings.

When a sweeping COVID-19 pandemic forced cultural venues, schools, and social hangouts into hibernation in early 2020, music life relocated to the digital world. On social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok, sofas and balconies took center stage for musical performances presented as live-streamed concerts and recorded videos. Amateurs and professional musicians alike embraced digital formats and innovated novel genres of corona-themed music. We will refer to the products of this musical phenomenon collectively as "coronamusic." Adapting a well-known term from cultural musicology (Small, 1999), the diverse practices of listening, playing, dancing, composing, rehearsing, improvising, discussing, exploring, and innovating within this domain will be characterized as "corona-musicking." This study aims to establish the CORONAMUSIC DATABASE–a crowdsourced corpus of links to coronamusic videos and news media reports (https://osf.io/y7z28/). This constitutes the first readily accessible and searchable resource for researchers from all disciplines with an interest in documenting and investigating the musical dynamics underlying the pandemic.
