Authors: Kartika Sari Resi Dwi Jayanti , Akbar Gumilang Yandhika Surya , Zidane Fajar Maulid
Published: September 2024

Permasalahan dalam sistem inventaris gudang gula saat ini terkait dengan metode konvensional penghitungan barang masuk/keluar. Proses ini melibatkan pekerja yang menggunakan stik kayu untuk mencatat jumlah barang. Saat pekerja mengambil karung gula, mereka juga mengambil stik kayu yang nantinya diserahkan kepada petugas. Petugas harus sangat berhati-hati agar tidak terjadi kesalahan, seperti pekerja mengambil lebih dari satu stik kayu, yang dapat mengakibatkan kesalahan perhitungan dan kerugian perusahaan. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan ini, penelitian ini bertujuan menyediakan solusi berupa alat bantu hitung berbasis Raspberry Pi. Alat ini dirancang untuk fleksibel, mudah dibawa, dan dapat digunakan di pintu gudang lain yang melayani Delivery Order (DO). Alat ini terkemas dalam sebuah koper kit dengan hasil penghitungannya ditampilkan pada LCD. Pekerja akan memasukkan data jumlah karung gula sesuai dengan DO dan menekan tombol counter setelah meletakkan karung gula pada kendaraan pengangkut. LCD akan menampilkan perhitungan maju/mundur hingga mencapai jumlah target karung gula yang telah diatur sebelumnya. Selain itu, alat dilengkapi dengan bunyi alarm sebagai tanda perhitungan telah selesai. Dengan demikian, implementasi alat ini diharapkan dapat mengurangi risiko kesalahan perhitungan dan meningkatkan efisiensi dalam manajemen inventaris gudang gula.

“No somos limitadas físicas ni mentales”: agencia en el discurso de mujeres latinas en Oregón)
Authors: Boyero Agudo Lara
Published: September 2024

Este trabajo cualitativo analiza las narrativas de cinco mujeres latinas radicadas en el estado de Oregón (Estados Unidos) en relación con sus interacciones sociales en el sector servicios y los espacios públicos de las comunidades en las que viven. El objetivo es conocer sus experiencias y observar si existe una conciencia crítica sociolingüística que reafirme una agencia en el país de destino. Usando como marco teórico el análisis crítico del discurso y la raciolingüística, se obtuvieron tres ejes temáticos comunes: la ausencia del español en los lugares públicos, la mirada blanca en los intercambios lingüísticos, y el multilingüismo en la vida pública. Estas narrativas muestran cómo la conciencia crítica desencadena la resiliencia y la agencia que les ha permitido enfrentarse a dificultades racistas y discriminaciones lingüísticas en Estados Unidos.
METHODOLOGY OF INSTITUTIONAL REGULATION OF COMPLEX DEVELOPMENT OF LAND MANAGEMENT AND ASSESSMENT OF ITS EFFECTIVENESS
Authors: Drebot O. , Priadka T. , Komarova N.
Published: September 2024

Modern organizational and economic methods of managing agricultural land use in Ukraine do not ensure its sustainable development, which is reflected in the increasing degradation processes. The current institutional system in Ukraine’s land relations sector is characterized by uncertainty and the lack of clearly established social norms and rules for the ecological management and use of land resources, as well as the roles and statuses of participants in land relations. The absence of a unified national system that meets state and public needs and is supported by an adequate social environment and the ecological awareness of government authorities and citizens hinders the development of effective and competitive agricultural entrepreneurship aimed at creating environmentally clean land resources and producing safe products. A land management system is proposed, where the first level of goal decomposition includes the basic regulatory functions (creation of an ecological network and a system of sustainable land use; forecasting and spatial planning for the use of land and natural resources; development of effective forms of ownership and land use; state support and economic incentives for rational forms of ownership and land use). Regulatory functions, as the main element of the institutional regulation system for the comprehensive development of land management, also serve as the basis for classifying regulatory instruments. The article presents the author’s approach to classifying the instruments of institutional regulation for the comprehensive development of land management according to the basic regulatory functions and their instruments. The institutionalization of land management will contribute to environmentally safe land management in rural areas, the formation of unified land masses, and the reduction of degradation processes. It will also improve the procedures for maintaining land cadastre and monitoring, ensure legislative regulation of access for individuals and legal entities, landowners, and land users to information about land plots and soil quality, which will be used for organizing economic activities, as well as for the economic stimulation of rational land use.
SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY THROUGH THE PRISM OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC INDICATORS
Authors: Polishchuk V. , Mudrak D. , Mudrak O.
Published: September 2024

The main objective of the article is to study the anthropogenic impact on the state of environmental quality by using ecological and economic indicators to further determining the level of necessary environmental protection actions. A systematic analysis of the indicators that identify the dynamics of changes in environmental quality in the current conditions of transformation of the European economy under the globalisation processes is carried out. It is determined that the sustainability of modern production depends on the efficiency of resource use, which provides economic growth and prevents increased pressure on the environment. It is proved that the rate of carbon dioxide emissions in highly developed countries is constantly decreasing, which is associated with the flexible environmental policy and transformation of the energy sector. It is established that in order to achieve the status of a climate-neutral country, Ukraine needs to use a modern system for monitoring greenhouse gas emissions, optimise the СО2 tax and implement a more intensive decarbonisation policy. When introducing organic farming mechanisms, it is necessary to take into consideration the effect of all exogenous and endogenous factors and the potential benefits of using inorganic fertilisers in the short term. The level of phosphate pollution of rivers in European countries and their influence on water quality are determined, and effective mechanisms for reducing this harmful effect are proposed. The reasons that cause eutrophication of water bodies, the consequences of its influence on the state of water and living organisms are investigated, and the areas of marine areas with eutrophic waters are established. The influence of the energy factor on the state of environmental quality is determined by analysing the indicator of final energy consumption by households per capita in oil equivalent. The efficiency of the European waste management policy is analysed and the level of waste packaging recycling in the Scandinavian countries is determined. The algorithm for calculating the gross value added of the environmental goods and services sector and its place in the GDP structure is identified. It is recommended that Ukraine implement the experience of the EU countries in fundamental approaches to resource conservation and sustainable development.
IMPROVEMENT OF ELEMENTARY COMPONENT OF DAMAGED SUBSTRATES BY SAPONITE CLAY INCLUSION
Authors: Demyanyuk O. , Mahdiichuk A.
Published: September 2024

In this proposed article, the impact on the elemental composition of sand substrates is determined using the example of the Andriykovetskyi quarry-dump complex and the Barsukivskyi sand pit, which are located in the Central Podillya region in the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe. It was determined, that saponite clay contains a significant amount of macro- and micro- elements, and the directions of this use depend on the composition and origin of saponite: in agriculture, in industry, in construction, an application as a sorbent or as meliorant, etc. It is noted that the use of saponite as an ameliorant is an economical and cost-effective method of reclamation, which allows to reduce the burden on the environment caused by the extraction of minerals, pollution of the territory by heavy metals, the conduct of hostilities, etc. General scientific (analysis), statistical (statistical analysis) and laboratory methods (Fourier-transform spectroscopy) were used to assess the qualitative composition of inorganic and organic components of sand-saponite mixtures and to determine saponite clay as a potentially fertile material. To conduct the research, an averaged sample of sand was taken from the Andriykovetskyi quarry and dump complex and from the Barsukivskyi sand pit. For comparison with reference values, a zonal soil sample was taken from undisturbed areas. Saponite from the Tashkiv deposit with a fraction of 0.1 mm was used for sand-saponite mixtures, the ratio of sand substrate to saponite is 70% to 30%. According to the results of the study of the qualitative composition of the inorganic component, it was determined, that saponite has a positive effect on the composition of the sand-saponite mixture in terms of providing plants with nutrients, such as macro- and micro- elements (Mg, K, Na, Cu, Zn, Ca). This confirms the positive effect of saponite on plant growth, which was obtained by us in previous biotesting experiments, and is explained by the fact that the elements of the sand-saponite substrate are available to plants as a result of their transition into the substrate solution. Adding saponite to the substrate of sand pits also increases the content of organic substances, which accelerates the processes of humification and the formation of soil aggregates: humic acid contributes to the bonding of soil particles; carbohydrates sucrose, fructose, glucose and lactose create a nutrient environment for plants; stearates and stearic acid are the main soap components, lauric acid is a foaming catalyst, their presence in sand-saponite mixtures indicates their transition from saponite. When comparing the samples of sand-saponite mixtures of the Andriykovetskyi quarry-dump complex and the Barsukivskyi sand pit, it was concluded that the processes of soil formation began in the substrate of the Andriykovetskyi quarry-dump complex, since the composition of organic matter is greater here.
ECONOMIC AND BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF RADISH HYBRIDS FOR GROWING IN OPEN SOIL IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE CENTRAL PART OF THE RIGHT BANK FOREST-STEPPE
Authors: Shchetyna S.
Published: September 2024

Radish is an early vegetable crop with a very short growing season, widely cultivated worldwide. At the same time, the extensive varietal resources of radishes and the changing environmental conditions compel agroproducers to perform more careful selection of varieties/hybrids to achieve high yields of marketable products. For this purpose, an agro-biological evaluation of eight radish hybrids of different maturity periods was conducted in open-field cultivation. Differences were found in both the duration of phenophases and the growing period of radish plants. The hybrids Stellar and Rockstar were characterized by faster entry into phenological phases, root formation, and maturation, reaching the technical maturity phase on the 25th day. In terms of biometric indicators at the technical maturity phase (BBCH 49), the hybrid Adele stood out, with plants having the highest height (18 cm), leaf rosette width (18 cm), number of leaves per plant (8 pcs), and area (17.6 thousand m2/ha). Over the years of research from 2017 to 2019, which were marked by contrasting weather conditions, the highest yield was obtained from the Adele hybrid, at 26.1–27.3 t/ha, with a 15% advantage over the control and a yield increase of 3.5 t/ha. The hybrids were ranked by yield as follows: Adele > Eliza > Stellar > Rockstar > Rosetta > Roxanne > Donar > Rolex. The highest quality indicators were found in the root crops of the Adele, Stellar, and Rockstar hybrids. Based on the visual assessment of radish root crops, analysis of their linear dimensions, and quality indicators, the hybrids were ranked as follows: Adele > Stellar > Rockstar > Eliza > Rosetta > Roxanne > Donar > Rolex. A strong direct correlation was found between yield and root weight (r=1), as well as between the developmental phases of the plants (seedling emergence, appearance of the first true leaf, growth and development of leaves and roots) and the technical maturity of the root crops (r=0.90–1.00). The number of leaves per plant correlated with plant height (0.97) and the developmental phases of the plants (0.91–0.97). The sugar content in the root crop correlated with the dry matter content and the root diameter (0.92). Based on the agro-biological evaluation of radish hybrids of different maturity groups, it was determined that the most productive hybrids with quality root crops for open-field cultivation are the early-maturing Stellar, the mid-maturing Eliza, and the late-maturing Adele, which are recommended for cultivation in farms of various ownership forms in the central part of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe.

Published: September 2024

Perubahan penutupan/penggunaan lahan pertambangan sejak tahun 2011 hingga tahun 2019 terus meningkat. Peningkatan tersebut menyebabkan kenaikan koefisien limpasan dan debit limpasan di DAS Lasolo.  Selain debit limpasan perubahan tutupan lahan pertambangan di DAS Lasolo juga memberikan dampak terhadap sedimentasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi perubahan tutupan/penggunaan lahan di DAS Lasolo dan seberapa besar pengaruh bukaan lahan pertambangan terhadap banjir di Kabupaten Konawe Utara. Penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kegiatan reklamasi terhadap debit limpasan dan sedimentasi di DAS Lasolo. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan untuk menggambarkan kondisi tersebut adalah penelitian kuantitatif deskriptif. Analisis penutupan/penggunaan lahan menggunakan Peta Citra satelit tahun  dengan bantuan Software Arcgis 10.0. Hasil analisi tahun 2011, 2015 dan 2019 menunjukan bahwa persentase peningkatan bukaan lahan pertambangan berada di urutan pertama tahun 2015 dan urutan ke dua setelah lahan terbuka di tahun 2019. Luas perubahan terbesar tahun 2015 ditempati oleh perkebunan sawit dan kebun campuran di tahun 2019. Koefisien limpasan untuk tipe penutupan/penggunaan lahan pertambangan meningkat dari tahun 2011, 2015 dan 2019 secara berturut-turut 0.70, 0.76 dan 0.79. Kontribusi bukaan lahan pertambangan terhadap debit limpasan DAS Lasolo adalah 0.28% atau sebesar 18.70 m3/detik dari total 6,416.98 m3/detik.

A Study of PhD Programs in Political Science, and the Future of Political Theory
Authors: Stein Matthew
Published: September 2024

Isaiah Berlin began his seminal work, “Does Political Theory Still Exist?” by considering the existential status of political theory. He questioned whether political theory was alive and well, or whether political theory was dead or dying. Berlin argued that, from an intellectual perspective, political theory cannot die. Yet the status of political theory as a disciplinary subfield may be institutionally insecure. I therefore examine political science doctoral programs to evaluate whether political theory’s future is stable, or uncertain. I consider whether departments offer doctoral students the opportunity to concentrate on political theory as a major or minor subfield of study. I likewise consider whether all doctoral students are required to complete political theory coursework. I compare political theory’s status with other subfields and find that political theory has a uniquely tenuous future. I conclude by calling to preserve political theory as a field of study equal to our empirical subfields.

Este artigo tem como escopo a análise musical do primeiro movimento da Sonatina para violão de Sérgio Vasconcellos-Corrêa, além de investigar suas implicações na interpretação musical por meio de experimentações práticas, visando a performance. Partimos do pressuposto de que um exame aprofundado da obra pode enriquecer o processo criativo do intérprete, fornecendo embasamento teórico para suas experimentações e contribuições musicais. Autores como Rink (2007), Cook (1999) e Rothstein (1995) constituem o referencial teórico em uma breve reflexão sobre análise, interpretação e performance musical. O método analítico proposto por John White (1976) foi empregado, subdividindo o processo em microanálise, análise intermediária e macroanálise. Os resultados demonstram a relevância da análise como uma ferramenta importante, fornecendo dados para experimentações práticas que abrangem desde elementos menores, como relações motívicas, passando por questões fraseológicas, até questões mais amplas, como movimentação harmônica e forma musical.
A review of model evaluation metrics for machine learning in genetics and genomics
Authors: Miller Catriona , Portlock Theo , Nyaga Denis M. , O’Sullivan Justin M.
Published: September 2024

Machine learning (ML) has shown great promise in genetics and genomics where large and complex datasets have the potential to provide insight into many aspects of disease risk, pathogenesis of genetic disorders, and prediction of health and wellbeing. However, with this possibility there is a responsibility to exercise caution against biases and inflation of results that can have harmful unintended impacts. Therefore, researchers must understand the metrics used to evaluate ML models which can influence the critical interpretation of results. In this review we provide an overview of ML metrics for clustering, classification, and regression and highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each. We also detail common pitfalls that occur during model evaluation. Finally, we provide examples of how researchers can assess and utilise the results of ML models, specifically from a genomics perspective.

This study investigates the interactions between acylfulvenes (AFs), a class of DNA alkylating drugs, and thioredoxin (Trx), a key redox regulating enzyme. AFs are semi-synthetic derivatives of the natural product illudin S. While their cytotoxic properties are widely attributed to DNA alkylation, they also react with cellular thiols, such as Trx, and the implications of these interactions remain poorly understood. Through biochemical assays with isolated E. Coli Trx, and cellular experiments in a human cell line (HeLa), we elucidate AFs’ impact on Trx activity and cellular levels. AFs, particularly hydroxymethylacylfulvene (HMAF), inhibited Trx activity by covalently modifying its active site cysteines. Drug exposure also altered cellular Trx levels and nuclear accumulation. In contrast, illudin S, which has a less selective toxicity profile for cancer cells, minimally inhibited isolated Trx. These data underscore Trx as a potential target contributing to the chemotherapeutic potential of AFs and provide insights into molecular interactions governing their impact on cancer cells.

Aim

Dentistry is uniquely positioned as a healthcare profession, distinguished from allied health or paramedical fields. It operates within a university-based structure, maintaining primary care responsibilities. Oral diseases impose a substantial worldwide health and economic burden, profoundly affecting the well-being of those affected. This cross-sectional study is centered on the Irula tribes in Tamil Nadu, India. Investigating the extent of tooth morbidity and loss, identifying possible risk factors, looking at oral hygiene habits, and evaluating the oral health-associated quality of life (OHRQoL) in this population are the main goals. As this population is at high risk for dental issues, promoting good oral hygiene becomes crucial. Indigenous populations, including the Irula tribes, have been underrepresented in research studies. The vulnerability of the Irula tribes is exacerbated by their remote locations, resulting in limited access to fundamental healthcare facilities.

Materials and methods

This study employs a cluster sampling approach, aiming to include 880 individuals aged 60 and above from Kancheepuram and Chengalpattu districts. The methodology encompasses a community-based questionnaire, clinical assessments utilizing standardized indices, and the assessment of the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL). The Statistical Package for Social Services, version 20, will be used to analyze all of the data that has been gathered (SPSS).Categorical variables will undergo analysis, with descriptive statistics and frequency percentages computed.

Conclusion

This study evaluates tooth morbidity and dentistry's role in screening chronic diseases like diabetes among the Irula tribes. It explores risk factors, oral hygiene practices, treatment seeking behavior, and oral health-related quality of life to gain a comprehensive understanding.

This study investigates the relationship between cultural diversity awareness and achievement-oriented goals among undergraduate medical students at the university level. Utilizing the Achievement Motivation Model by McInerney et al. (2003) and the General Fulfillment Aims Orientation Scale (GAGOS), it examines mastery, performance, and social goals. Additionally, it incorporates Ennejar's (2021) cultural diversity awareness model to assess students' attitudes toward cultural diversity. Data were collected from 80 final-year MBBS students through a survey and analyzed using SPSS for descriptive and inferential statistics. Results show that students have a high level of cultural diversity awareness and recognize biases, supporting diverse voices and cultural differences. A significant positive correlation (r = 0.948, p < 0.05) between cultural diversity awareness and achievement motivation was found, although no significant differences were observed based on gender or age. These findings suggest that enhancing personal development, altruism, and social recognition may boost motivation and that diversity and inclusion programs are crucial for fostering environments that promote achievement motivation.

Published: September 2024

Background

The overall understanding of the correlations between mortality risk and phytoestrogens in general population remains limited. We examined the association between urinary phytoestrogen levels and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Methods

Weighted Cox proportional hazard regression models were employed to calculate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Nonlinear relationships were assessed using multivariable-adjusted restricted cubic splines (RCS).

Results

In the fully adjusted model, the highest quartiles of urinary genistein levels were correlated with significantly elevated all-cause (HR = 1.36, 95%CI: 1.16–1.59) and cardiovascular (HR = 1.58, 95%CI: 1.20–2.09) mortality. Urinary enterolactone levels in the third quartile were associated with reduced all-cause (HR = 0.77, 95%CI: 0.65–0.90) and cardiovascular (HR = 0.74, 95%CI: 0.55–0.99) mortality. In the highest quartiles of urinary daidzein levels, the cardiovascular mortality was significantly increased (HR = 1.44, 95%CI: 1.09–1.90). RCS showed an non-linear relationship between urinary daidzein levels and all-cause mortality (P = 0.04).

Conclusion

In the context of a nationally representative sample, genistein exhibited associations with elevated all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, whereas enterolactone showed an association with reduced mortality. The dose–response relationship between urinary daidzein levels and all-cause mortality as well as sex-specific disparities in the impact of phytoestrogen levels should be considered.
Research on time-of-use compensation pricing strategies for load aggregators based on user demand response

Published: September 2024

As the electric power market reform deepens, the strategic role of load aggregators in demand-side response becomes increasingly important. The inherent variability of distributed renewable energy generation and user demand response often leads to a mismatch between the purchased electricity and the market bid volume, resulting in punitive costs for companies. To address this issue, this study treats demand-side controllable loads as dispatchable resources and proposes a tiered pricing strategy to adjust power distribution. By establishing a Stackelberg leader-follower game model, the study promotes a mutually beneficial relationship between load aggregators and controllable load users. Through case studies, this paper examines the operational profits of load aggregators and the power adjustment behaviors of controllable load users under tiered and fixed compensation pricing schemes. The results indicate that tiered compensation pricing significantly reduces punitive costs and enhances user participation in demand response.

Few studies have investigated how one-time targeted tillage of long-term no-till fields impacts topsoil properties and weed dynamics. An on-farm trial was implemented in 2020 to test the effects of occasional tillage (OT) in Morocco with a long-term no-tillage (NT) system and rainfed field crops: durum wheat (Triticum durum), faba bean (Vicia faba minor), and chickpea (Cicer arietinum). Four treatments were established, namely, continuous NT with crop residues maintained (“NT + residue”); continuous NT with crop residues not maintained (“NT-residue”); shallow inversion tillage (“shallow OT”); and deep non-inversion tillage (“deep OT”). We assessed the effect of these treatments on soil physical and chemical properties in 0–10 and 10–20 cm soil depths after crop harvest of the 2020–2021 (year 1) and 2021–2022 (year 2) growing seasons corresponding to 1 and 2 years after OT, respectively. In addition, we evaluated the effect of the treatments on weed populations and the effect of the legume crop rotated with wheat on soil nitrogen (N) and weed density. In year 1, deep OT reduced the water content at field capacity and available water capacity at 0–10 cm compared to continuous NT; the cation-exchange capacity (CEC) under deep OT was lower than in NT-residue and NT + residue at 0–10 cm and 10–20 cm, respectively. Furthermore, deep OT increased ammonium-N (NH4-N) at 0–10 and 10–20 cm compared to NT + residue but reduced exchangeable potassium (K) at 10–20 cm depth compared to NT-residue. In year 2, shallow OT had lower total porosity at 10–20 cm than NT + residue, while shallow and deep OT recorded higher water-stable aggregates at 0–10 cm than NT + residue; at 10–20 cm, deep OT recorded lower CEC than NT + residue. However, deep OT had higher nitrate-N (NO3-N) and available sulfur (S) than NT-residue at 10–20 cm. Occasional tillage did not significantly affect 10 out of 19 of the soil properties evaluated, including soil organic matter (SOM), in all the years and did not help reduce the stratification of soil nutrients in NT. In year 1, 50 days after OT, deep OT reduced the weed density by 46% compared to NT + residue, while in year 2, 406 days after OT, shallow OT reduced weed density by 53% compared to NT-residue. Regarding the effect of the legume rotated with wheat, faba bean appeared to be the better preceding or following wheat crop as it resulted in higher residual soil mineral N and lower weed infestation than chickpea.
Case report: Bullous pemphigoid combined with Sjögren’s syndrome complicated by central nervous system infection
Authors: Chen Xing-Yue , Chen Jun , Long Kun-Lan , Ding Peng , Li Rong , Zhi Li-Jia
Published: September 2024

Background

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune blistering skin disease in humans, characterized by tense blisters, erosions, urticarial lesions, and itching on normal or erythematous skin. Many autoimmune diseases are considered comorbidities of BP, but clinical case reports of BP complicated by Sjögren’s syndrome are very scarce. Furthermore, cases of central nervous system infection secondary to both autoimmune diseases are even rarer.

Case presentation

We report a 74-year-old woman diagnosed with bullous pemphigoid, who showed relief of active lesions after treatment with methylprednisolone and dupilumab injections. However, she was admitted for pulmonary infection during which she was diagnosed with Sjögren’s syndrome (SS). Subsequently, the patient developed altered consciousness, indicating a central nervous system infection. Adjustment of steroid dosage and aggressive antimicrobial therapy led to alleviation of symptoms.

Conclusion

The coexistence of autoimmune subepidermal blistering diseases and SS is rare. The role of SS in the pathogenesis of skin lesions is unclear, and the relationship between these blistering diseases and SS remains elusive. Further research is needed to determine whether there are common pathological mechanisms between the two conditions.
