Digital transition of industrial enterprises into the “smart” ecosystem
Authors: Mayorova K. S. , Balashova E. S.
Published: January 2022

Digital transformation is the foundation for the development of industrial enterprises and inevitably leads to interconnected changes in products, services, strategies, business processes and relations between enterprises and market segments. Smart production cannot develop effectively in the form of isolated projects since development is required in the context of market sectors. So industrial enterprises expand their ecosystems, and thanks to coordinated innovations, the active introduction and dissemination of their digital transformation processes begins. In the context of digitalization, the “smart” ecosystem is becoming a global and growing multisectoral environment not only for industrial enterprises, but also for all market participants – suppliers, partners, public organizations, customers, etc. These associations contribute to faster adoption of innovative technologies, connecting resources for maximum results, flexible response to sharp changes in the market, which, in the context of digital transformation, require enterprises to achieve comprehensive results. The purpose of this study is to identify and identify the features of the digital transition of industrial enterprises to the smart ecosystem. The author determined what conditions contribute to the emergence of fundamentally new ecosystems of industrial enterprises that initiate the active development of innovative technologies and products, as well as the emergence of new opportunities for expanding the sphere of activity. An analysis of the stages of creating an effective “smart” ecosystem of industrial enterprises was carried out, and the characteristics of each of them were identified. It is noted that this smart ecosystem development plan will allow industrial enterprises to make more effective preparations for active external cooperation even in limited industry conditions. The study identifies six key factors, which include: synchronization of the life cycles of the enterprise; providing intelligent software and network connectivity for traditional industrial products; use analytics to take stock of production activities and make decisions based on data from a variety of sources, including products connected to the network; in-house production should be flexible; the transition to a smart ecosystem should start with an all-as-a-service business model; creating and managing smart ecosystems. These factors affect the successful and efficient functioning of the smart ecosystem of industrial enterprises in modern conditions, which will subsequently allow the provision of personalized, contextual, innovative services that generate regular revenues.

In the modern economics of industrial production the fundamental trend is the technological potential connected with the period of transition to innovative high technology industrial production. It is an important factor influencing the perspective indicators of development of economics and the entire industrial complex. Management of industrial enterprises requires establishing new approaches to the use of technological potential and its management. For this purpose, the works of scientists in the subject area of the technological potential of industrial enterprises have been studied. The authors consider theoretical approaches to studying technological potential and sustainable development of industrial enterprises. They systematized methodological approaches to studying the concept of ‘technological potential’ and structured the factors influencing it. The fundamental factors include social, international factors, state of economy, economic policy, market factors, factors of governmental influence and institutional factors. To assess the technological potential of an enterprise, a system of KPI is used, which allows taking into account the limitations and desirable levels for a whole range of particular parameters of indicators, indicators, both quantitative and qualitative.

Published: January 2022

Research background. Gallic acid is a polyphenol with antioxidant and antitumor activities; however, its use as a nutraceutical or drug is hindered by its low bioavailability. Zein is a natural protein found in corn and has been applied as nanoparticle drug carrier. In this study, zein nanoparticles were obtained and stabilized with polyethylene glycol (PEG) as gallic acid carriers.
Experimental approach. Nanoparticles were obtained by the liquid-liquid method and characterized in terms of mean size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, morphology, solid-state interactions and encapsulation efficiency/drug loading. The stability of nanoparticles was evaluated in simulated gastrointestinal fluids and food simulants, and the antioxidant activity was determined by the scavenging of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical.
Results and conclusions. Zein nanoparticles containing gallic acid were obtained and stabilized only in the presence of PEG. Under optimal conditions, nanoparticles with mean size <200 nm, low polydispersity index (<0.25) and negative zeta potential (−20 mV) were obtained. The gallic acid encapsulation efficiency was about 40 %, loading about 5 %, and it was encapsulated in an amorphous state. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) did not identify chemical interactions after gallic acid nanoencapsulation. Zein nanoparticles were more prone to release the gallic acid in gastric than intestinal simulated medium; however, more than 50 % of drug content was protected from premature release. In food simulants, the gallic acid release from nanoparticles was prolonged and sustained. Moreover, the nanoencapsulation did not reduce the antioxidant activity of gallic acid.
Novelty and scientific contribution. The results show the importance of PEG in the formation and its effect on the properties of zein nanoparticles obtained by the liquid-liquid dispersion method. This study indicates that PEG-stabilized zein nanoparticles are potential carriers for oral intake of gallic acid, preserving its antioxidant properties and enabling its use in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Este artículo propone dar una mirada al proceso de urbanización, la cultura urbana y el proceso social de construcción del espacio que tuvo lugar a lo largo del siglo XX, ubicándolo en el contexto más amplio de la cultura occidental de largo plazo. En este sentido, analizaremos la periodización del siglo XX en su contexto más amplio, notando cómo fue este el siglo americano, cuándo creemos que hubo una transición desde la perspectiva de la cultura occidental, abandonando Europa y volviéndose hacia los Estados Unidos de América. A continuación, veremos cuáles serían las consecuencias de este debate transaccional con respecto a la planificación urbana territorial brasileña, especialmente en el estado de São Paulo. Y, cómo este cambio se reflejó en las prácticas urbanísticas y de planificación, así como en las reflexiones más amplias en las dinámicas globales y locales. El objetivo es comprender cómo se desarrolló el proceso y la evolución de la planificación urbana en São Paulo a lo largo del siglo XX y a través de este diálogo entre las Américas. Por tanto, el objeto es el estado de São Paulo. La planificación urbano-territorial es el foco. Acercar la cultura urbana de São Paulo a la cultura urbana norteamericana y la cultura urbana del continente americano es el objetivo. Finalmente, la ciudad es la principal protagonista de esta historia.

Neuromuscular disease - Gene transfer for children
Authors: Martin Matthew , Ream Margie , Kuntz Nancy , Mathews Katherine , Connolly Anne
Published: January 2022

Successful gene transfer therapy (GTT) provides a functional copy of a gene to appropriate tissues for affected patients. While technically difficult, GTT holds great promise for treating and even curing previously fatal diseases.

GTT for Spinal Muscular Atrophy is available commercially and ongoing studies continue to show it is safe and effective. Subclinical liver dysfunction is more common in older, heavier children receiving higher vial loads. Human trials support preclinical studies showing early timing of therapy is important.

GTT for Duchene Muscular Dystrophy has required strategic approaches to create mini- and micro-dystrophin genes that will fit into available viral vectors. There are multiple ongoing studies that overall demonstrate good safety and efficacy.

GTT for X-Linked Myotubular Myopathy is being studied in an ongoing trial that has shown improvement in respiratory function (including ventilator independence), neuromuscular function, and histopathological evaluation. Three patients with severe cholestatic liver dysfunction have died. Evaluation is ongoing to better understand these events.

While GTT for neuromuscular disorders holds significant promise, it is not without risks and requires in-depth knowledge of the disease, abundant pre-clinical work, careful patient education, and ongoing patient care. There are a number of key questions that must be considered regarding the feasibility of expanding GTT to new disorders

These examples illustrate how advances in GTT benefit children on a population level and may themselves benefit from early detection by NBS. By becoming involved in advocacy at state and federal levels, families and physicians can impact newborn screening policy and implementation regarding these disorders.

Published: January 2022

Neuroinfectious diseases continue to have a profound public health impact, particularly in resource-limited settings. Here we summarize the new research into pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment modalities for some of the most frequent and lethal infections affecting the central nervous system, including tuberculosis, malaria, and arboviral infections. Implementation of clinical trials targeting neuroinfectious diseases in resource-limited settings has unique challenges not found when identical research is performed in resource-rich areas. Travel, communications, and technology have improved the mobility of populations worldwide. Immigration and increased international travel make it likely that clinicians worldwide will see patients affected by infectious diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, zika, dengue, chikungunya, and Ebola. Such infections may have devastating consequences for both the individual and the society, particularly if clinicians are not familiar with disease presentation and treatment.
Archaeological Evidence of Migration from the Southern Taiga of Western Siberia to the Urals in the Early Middle Ages: The Vodennikovo-1 Cemetery
Authors: Matveeva N. P. , Tretyakov E. A. , Zelenkov A. S.
Published: January 2022

We describe 15 burials at the Vodennikovo-1 group of mounds in the northern Kurgan Region, on the Middle Iset River, relevant to migration processes during the Early Middle Ages. On the basis of numerous parallels from contemporaneous sites in the Urals and Western Siberia, the cemetery is dated to the late 7th and 8th centuries. Most of single and collective burials are inhumations in rectangular pits with a northwestern orientation, with vessels, decorated by carved or pricked designs, placed near the heads. These features, typical of the Early Medieval Bakalskaya culture of the Tobol and Ishim basins, are also observed at the Pereyma and Ust-Suerskoye-1 cemeteries in the same area. However, there are innovations such as inlet burials, those in blocks of solid wood and plank coffi ns, western orientation of the deceased, and placing vessels next to the burial pits. These features attest to a different tradition, evidenced by cemeteries of the Potchevash culture in the Tobol and Ishim basins (Okunevo III, Likhacheva, and Vikulovskoye). Also, Potchevash and Bakalskaya vessels co-occur at Vodennikovo-1, and some of them (jugs with comb and grooved designs) are typologically syncretic. To date, this is the westernmost cemetery of the Potchevash culture, suggestive of a migration of part of the southern taiga population from the Ishim and Tobol area to the Urals.

Published: January 2022

Lichens are organized symbionts that have their importance due to a potential indicator of the forest ecosystem. The lichen diversity of Odisha is not well explored as compared to the other phytogeographical region of India. Though the earlier study reported the occurrence of 252 lichen species from different parts of the state, it was limited to the northeast part of the Similipal Biosphere Reserve (SBR). The objective of the present study was to survey some unexplored areas of SBR, which revealed the occurrence of 84 species of lichens belonging to 38 families and 18 genera. Most of the lichens were found growing as phorophytes on the matured bark of the trees. The western part of the SBR is rich in lichen diversity as compared to the eastern part. Species frequency was found to be highest in the southwest part of the SBR, while the density and abundance were more or less similar within all the study sites. The correlation between frequency and density was found to be significant and insignificant between frequency and abundance.
CHEMICALLY INDUCED MUTAGENESIS IN THE KING OYSTER MUSHROOM Pleurotus eryngii TO GENERATE HIGH-TEMPERATURE TOLERANT STRAIN

Published: January 2022

In this study, a high-temperature-tolerant strain of the king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) was generated by chemical mutagenesis. Cultivation of P. eryngii generally involves incubating the mycelia at 25°C and then moving the spawns for further incubation at 18°C for fruitification. However, in tropical countries, the temperature is a major concern in the production of oyster mushroom where the average temperature is 32°C. In the current study, the mycelia were treated with ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) or methyl methane sulphonate (MMS) for chemical-induced mutation. Seven mutants (EMS 1, 2, 6, 26, 35, 36, and 38) from EMS mutagenesis exhibited higher growth rates than the wild-type strain at 32°C. However, mutant strains from MMS mutagenesis showed a low growth rate when compared with wild-type. On sawdust substrate, the spawn running conditions for these strains were performed at 32°C, and fruitification occurred at 18°C. The yield and biological efficiency of EMS 36 and 38 mutants were higher than those of the wild-type strain. The activities of cellulase and xylanase of EMS 36 and 38 mutants showed that both these mutants had higher activities than the wild-type strain which may influence mushroom production. Therefore, these EMS 36 and 38 mutants can be cultivated in tropical countries, which could provide a high yield and reduce the cost during spawn running step.

Mushrooms are being extensively researched due to their nutritional value and medicinal importance. The genus Pleurotus is the second most cultivated mushroom and is known for its high nutritional value, therapeutic properties, taste, flavor, as well as their application in biotechnology and environmental study. Also, tyrosinase is prevalent in most living organisms. The enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of monophenols to ortho-quinones in a two-step reaction process. This study was aimed to assess the amino acid composition and anti-tyrosinase activity of metabolites obtained from edible Pleurotus species. Assessment of the nutritional content and inhibitory studies of mushroom tyrosinase produced from four Pleurotus strains was carried out using high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The results of the study showed that seventeen different amino acids were identified in the crude and partially purified protein metabolites. Also, the crude extract metabolite had the highest quantity of amino acids than the partially purified. The highest and lowest amino acids value Glutamic acid (1343.26 µmol/mL) and valine (0.34 µmol/mL). The anti-tyrosinase inhibition studies of the four Pleurotus strains showed varying results from significantly inhibitory effects to slightly inhibitory effects on mushroom tyrosinase. The highest inhibition was 14.86% (Pleu-W), while the lowest inhibition was 51.42% (Plof-30) respectively. The high point of this study is that the Pleurotus species contains a significant number of amino acids and also, they possess good anti-tyrosinase activity. Therefore, these are a good source of nutritional and therapeutic metabolites and these can be explored further for their nutritional and medicinal importance to man.
OPTIMIZING THE PRODUCTION OF A FUNCTIONAL TYPE A RECOMBINANT ENDOCHITINASE FROM Trichoderma asperellum IN Escherichia coli

Published: January 2022

Chitinases from the genus Trichoderma fungi are mainly responsible for their anti-fungal activities, which allow them to become the most widely used fungal biocontrol. Therefore, several Trichoderma chitinases have been cloned and expressed to facilitate their production and applications. A previous study of the same authors has characterized an endochitinase from a relatively novel Trichoderma spp., Trichoderma asperellum. To produce this enzyme more economically and efficiently, we reported the synthesis and expression of its synthetic encoding gene in the Escherichia coli M15 strain and established the optimal conditions for preparative scale production of the enzyme in its functional form. By lowering the induction temperatures, we observed substantial improvement in the expression levels of the active enzyme.  At 30 oC and 0.5 mM IPTG induction, 1 L of cells yielded approximately 80 - 100 mg of soluble protein, accounting for about 9-11 % of total soluble protein. This figure may be an underestimation of the actual yield, as deduced from the SDS-PAGE data. The recombinant enzyme can be retrieved by simple repeated freezing and thawing cycles and purified to near homogeneity using Ni-NTA chromatography. The purified enzyme showed in vitro colloidal chitin hydrolysis activity. These results could be scaled up to produce soluble 42 kDa chitinase in E. coli. The study demonstrated an economical method to produce chitinases for various agricultural and environmental applications.

Authors: Semos Nikolaos , Dotas Vasilios , Aggelopoulos Stamatis
Published: January 2022

This study aims to discuss the key factors that can contribute to the development of the fur industry in Greece. The industry consists of two sub-sectors i.e. production and processing of fur skins (raw material), and the production of fur garments. The profitability of fur-bearing farms, considered from the perspective of investment and further international fur trade, and both these were examined in this study because these two sub-sectors are closely linked. The results obtained from the analysis of the two fur production sub-sectors showed that the investment of capital in the industry can expect positive returns while at the same time creating well-paid jobs. Although not presenting a comparative advantage, but the foreign trade of fur garments produced in the region can gain competitiveness if some of the strategies used by Greek fur companies are adjusted. Results of the current study can be concluded that despite the weaknesses that emerge from the results of this study, both sub-sectors of the fur industry can make a significant contribution to the development of the local community of Western Macedonia.

Published: January 2022

Yunus Emre, Anadolu insanını iyi gözlemlemiş, betimleyici anlatımı kullanmış, bunun yanında din ve tasavvuf anlayışını halka ulaştırmak amacıyla didaktik/öğretici anlatıma başvurmuştur. Şiirlerinde gözlemlerden sonra kendi iç dünyasına dönmüş, farklı topluluklara seslenmiştir, bu seslenişte; sözünün/şiirinin özellikleri ve insanlara tesiri yanında bu topluluklarla girdiği polemikler kendini hissettirir. O; Anadolu insanının duygu ve düşüncelerini, ifade hâlindeyken yaptığı hareketleri, vücut dilini ve kullandığı söz varlıklarını dikkatle gözlemlemiş, bu gözlemlerini en ince ayrıntısına kadar işlemiştir. Şiirlerinde Allah aşkına götüren veya aşka engel olan unsurlara değinen Yunus, sözde/şiirde bulunması gereken değerlerden bahseder, bu bağlamda özeleştirilerde bulunur, gözlemlediği Anadolu halkının hâl dilinin betimlemelerini yapar, deyimleri, atasözlerini ve halk deyişlerini sıkça kullanır. Allah aşkı bağlamında katagorize ettiği toplulukların bazılarını olumlu, bazılarını olumsuz fakat nefrete dönüşmeyen kendine özgü bir öfke ile dile getirdiği benzetmeler eşliğinde uyarır. Bu çalışmada Yunus’un şiirlerinin türü, da’visinin dili/sözü, Anadolu halkının hâl ve hareketlerinin betimlemeleri ve Allah aşkına göre ârif, derviş, kâfir, dost, düşman gibi isimlerle konumlandırılmış topluluklar hakkında yaptığı benzetmeler ele alınmıştır.
Nezihe Araz’ın Ballar Balını Buldum Adlı Oyununda ‘Arama/Arayış Arketipi’
Authors: DEMİR Ahmet
Published: January 2022

Nezihe Araz’ın (1922-2009)’ın Ballar Balını Buldum (1991) adlı eseri, Yunus Emre’yi anlatan bir oyundur. Oyun, birbirine koşut iki olay örgüsünden oluşmaktadır. Birinci olay örgüsü, Yunus Emre’nin hayatından sahneler etrafında şekillenmektedir. İkinci olay örgüsü ise Ionesco’nun bir oyununu sahnelemeye çalışan bir tiyatro yönetmeninin yaşadığı olaylar üzerinden şekillenir. Yunus Emre’nin çağları aşarak 13. yüzyıldan 20. yüzyıla gelişiyle iki olay örgüsü kesişir. Yunus Emre, tiyatro binasına gelir ve yönetmenin hayatına dâhil olur. Aslında Yunus Emre’nin de, tiyatro yönetmeninin de hikâyesi ‘arama/arayış’ ve ‘bulma’ üzerinedir. Yunus Emre varoluş, insan, evren, ölüm, Allah’ın varlığı ve birliği gibi konularla ilgili olarak zihnini meşgul eden sorulara cevap arar. Aradığı şeyi Tapduk Emre’nin dergâhında bulur. Bilmezlikten bilgiye geçerek yaşamın sırlarını çözer, huzura kavuşur. Yönetmen de Yunus Emre’nin rehberliğinde, sahnelemek istediği oyunun dilini çözer, oyunu anlamaya başlar. Bu arada yaşama dair bakış açısı da genişler. Böylece yönetmen de çıkmaza düştüğü noktada, aradığı şeyi bulur ve huzura kavuşur. Dolayısıyla Ballar Balını Buldum adlı oyun, mitos düzeyinde bir okumayla ele alındığında ‘arama/arayış arketipi’ ile karşılaşılmaktadır. Oyun, ‘arama/arayış arketipi’ne dayalı olarak kahramanların eylemselliğiyle şekillenir. Bu çalışmada öncelikle ‘arketip’ ve ‘arama/arayış arketipi’ kavramları üzerinde durulmuş, sonrasında Ballar Balını Buldum oyunu arketipsel eleştiri bağlamında ele alınmıştır. ‘Arama/arayış arketipi’nin Ballar Balını Buldum oyununa yansımaları incelenmiş ve bu arketipin oyunu nasıl yapılandırdığı ortaya konulmuştur.

A path less travelled — Short review on ossifying fibroma and osseous dysplasia
Authors: Mohite Deepali P , Palve Devendra H , Udapure Snehal R , Vinanti V Bodele  , Jambhulkar Mrunali D , Borkar Vaishanavi A
Published: January 2022

Fibro-osseous lesions (FOL) are characterized by replacement of normal bone by fibrous tissue containing a newly formed mineralized product. The mineralized product may be ossification (sometimes cementum formation) or calcification of fibrous tissue by metaplasia. These lesions have similar radiographic and histopathologic features hence the term fibre- osseous lesion is not a diagnosis, rather a description of the presence of fibrous and calcified tissue. They may be developmental (fibrous dysplasia), reactive (cemento-osseous dysplasia) or neoplastic (ossifying/cementifying fibroma). This article presents the commonly used classification for fibro-osseous lesions and an insight into a few changes that have been introduced in the recent past with emphasis on Ossifying Fibroma and Osseous Dysplasia.

Ossifying fibromas are considered as benign fibro-osseous neoplasms which are principally encountered within the jawbones. Cemento-osseous dysplasias are non-neoplastic fibro- osseous lesion. Since 1971, the World Health Organization classified cemental lesions into 4 distinct entities, as follows: Periapical Cemental Dysplasia, Benign Cementoblastoma (true cementoma), Cementifying Fibroma and Gigantiform Cementoma (GC). The term, gigantiform cementoma, may imply a solitary process but it is misleading because the condition typically presents as slow-growing, multifocal/multiquadrant and expansile lesions involving both jaws. WHO classified it in Osseous dysplasia and El-Mofty et al. under Ossifying fibroma.

Saliva is a valuable tool for early detection, better treatment, and a better prognosis. Early detection of illnesses is sometimes challenging, and it necessitates additional clinical and laboratory tests, which can delay treatment and have a significant impact on prognosis. A large range of chemicals may be found in saliva, providing useful information for clinical diagnostic purposes.

The coronavirus disease pandemic (Covid-19) is the world's largest challenge and global health disaster since World War II. Controlling the epidemic in the community and in hospitals requires a quick and precise diagnosis of Covid-19. For Covid-19 diagnostic testing, nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs are the suggested specimen types.

The collection of these specimens necessitates intimate contact between healthcare staff and patients, which increases the risk of viral transmission. As a result, nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs are not recommended for sequential viral load monitoring. Saliva specimens are simply collected by having the patient spit into a sterile container. Saliva collection is non-invasive and significantly reduces healthcare personnel' exposure to Covid-19. To develop quick chair side assays for the detection of Covid-19, more study is needed to investigate the potential diagnostic of Covid-19 in saliva.

A mucocele is a tiny, fluid-filled cyst within the mouth. A blockage or damage to the salivary gland is the most prevalent cause. A mucocele is formed when saliva pools due to a blockage or damage within the salivary gland. Biting the lip, cheek, or other parts of the mouth can cause a mucocele to develop. Its management may be difficult for dental practitioners. The purpose of this clinical case report was to discuss mucocele therapy using traditional methods, as well as the benefits and reasons of recurrence.

Published: January 2022

Sialadenitis is the inflammation of the major salivary glands. It is an insidious inflammatory disease of the major salivary glands which may lead to the development of fibrous masses. The most frequent cause of sialadenitis is the presence of a salivary duct calculi, the sialolith. Sialolithiasis is the presence of stones in the salivary gland. It presents with pain and tenderness in the affected area. A 56-year old male patient had reported in the department with pain and swelling in the right lower back region of the jaw since 7 days. On clinical, radiographic and histopathological examination, a case of sialolith was reported in the right submandibular gland along with sialadenitis.
A Care-Centered Approach to Online Learning Design and Pedagogy
Authors: Robinson Heather , Kilgore Whitney , Al-Freih Maha
Published: January 2022

Researchers in the field of online learning have raised concerns over its lack of focus on the affective/emotional aspect of the online learning experience, despite a strong research base indicating the important role that emotions play in successful and effective learning (Ch’ng, 2019). Utilizing a phenomenological methodological approach, the researchers interviewed online students and coded transcripts based on Noddings’ Ethics of Care Framework (1984) to explore the phenomenon of care in online learning in an effort to bridge this gap and deepen our understanding of the feeling of caring and being cared-for. These findings add to the literature on the role of emotions in online learning as viewed through the lens of care-theory. The findings highlight course design issues and instructor behaviors that promote a climate of care in an online environment from a learner perspective. These findings may be of benefit to inform future teacher preparation programs.
It’s What’s on the Inside That Counts: Analyzing Student Use of Sources in Composition Research Papers
Authors: Rosenzweig James W , Lambert Frank , Thill Mary C.
Published: January 2022

Objective – This study is designed to discover what kinds of sources are cited by composition students in the text of their papers and to determine what types of sources are used most frequently. It also examines the relationship of bibliographies to in-text citations to determine whether students “pad” their bibliographies with traditional academic sources not used in the text of their papers.
Methods – The study employs a novel method grounded in multidisciplinary research, which the authors used to tally 1,652 in-text citations from a sample of 71 student papers gathered from English Composition II courses at three universities in the United States. These data were then compared against the papers’ bibliographic references, which had previously been categorized using the WHY Method. 
Results – The results indicate that students rely primarily on traditional academic and journalistic sources in their writing, but also incorporate a significant and diverse array of other kinds of source material. The findings identify a strong institutional effect on student source use, as well as the average number and type of in-text citations, which demographic characteristics do not explain. Additionally, the study demonstrates that student bibliographies are highly predictive of in-text source selection, and that students do not exhibit a pattern of “padding” bibliographies with academic sources.
Conclusion – The data warrant the conclusions that an understanding of one’s own institution is vitally important for effective work with students regarding their source selection, and that close analysis of student bibliographies gives an unexpectedly reliable picture of the types and proportions of sources cited in student writing.
The Empirical Assessment of Vibration in HVAC Systems
Authors: Forouharmajd Farhad , Soury Shiva , Mokhtari Mehran , Mohammadi Zahra
Published: January 2022

Background and purpose: Vibration caused by ventilation systems in buildings is one of the harmful physical factors that can cause harm to residents. Therefore, measuring and controlling vibration is important.
Materials and Methods: In the first step of the study, the vibration accelerometer was placed on the base of a fan where the vibrations were sent toward the duct wall. A vibration assessment of the building was conducted in the other steps to compare with guidelines. In the next step, isolation method was used to control vibration. By placing the isolator on the duct wall, the accelerometer was located on the body of the duct wall and the value of vibration was measured in a millimeter per second. All stages of the experiment were performed in the Faculty of Health of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 2018.
Results: The maximum vibration velocity reduction in the building was related to the frequency of 68 Hz, which reached 33 mm/s after isolation. In addition, the fan vibration at 485 Hz was equal to 2.1 m /s, which decreased to 2 mm /s after isolation.
Conclusion: Comparison of vibration after fan isolation with standard showed that this method has been effective in reducing the fan vibration resulting in the vibration to reach below the standard.
Modelling the Botswana Pula/Us Dollar exchange rate using the Skewed generalized t (SGT) distributions
Authors: Thupeng Wilson Moseki
Published: January 2022

The economy of Botswana heavily relies on mineral exports (mainly diamond exports), which are largely dependent on the exchange rate. And, the US Dollar is one of the most important currencies in the basket of currencies to which the Botswana Pula is pegged. Therefore, this paper seeks to empirically establish the baseline characteristics of the Botswana Pula (BWP) and the US Dollar (USD) exchange rate and to identify the most plausible probability distribution from the skewed generalized t (SGT) family that can be used to model the log-returns of the daily BWP/USD exchange rates for the period January 2001 to December 2020. The SGT family is a highly versatile class of models that can capture the skewness and kleptokurticity that are inherent in financial time series. Four probability distributions are considered in this study: skewed t, skewed generalized error, generalized t and skewed generalized t. The maximum likelihood approach is used to estimate the parameters of each model. Model comparison and selection are based on the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC). The results of the study show that the daily BWP/USD exchange rate series is nonnormal, negatively skewed heavy-tailed. It is also found that, based on the values of both the AIC and BIC, the model that gives the best fit to the data is the skewed t, which is closely followed by the skewed generalized error distribution, while the generalized t gives the worst fit.
