In the present study, the main physical-chemical parameters (temperature, conductivity, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen consumption, ammonium, nitrate and phosphate ions) and the representative groups of phytoplankton (green algae, cyanobacteria, diatoms and cryptophytics) are analysed with direct influence on the quality of aquatic life. The average values obtained by analysing the samples collected in July 2023 in the bordering area of fishing activities (marine site –Midia-Navodari area and Lake sites – Tasaul Lake and Siutghiol Lake) are presented and discussed. The modern techniques of in situ analysis of the physical-chemical and biological parameters of the water allowed an evaluation of the quality of the surface waters regarding the trophic potential. The optimal values of the indicators of the eutrophication regime and of the oxygen regime, as well as the presence of the main groups of primary producers, suggest the existence of favourable conditions for the development of fishing and aquaculture activities. The study contributes to the achievement of the general objective of the Dobrogea North FLAG strategy for the development of fishing activities based on the knowledge of environmental aspects, in order to maintain economic and ecological sustainability.

Climate change is a complex and to some extent defining problem of our time, including the issue of their monitoring. From shifting weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. The each other interconnected processes of mass and energy transfer are well visible in an integrated dynamic system called the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere is the combined mass of water found on, under, and above the surface of the Earth. Meteorological conditions undoubtedly have, in addition to different agro-ecological conditions, a significant influence on the monitored yields and crop quality. The paper presents the results of the soil monitoring at cherry orchard Žabčice, Czech Republic in place with different species of grassland with different lengths of their roots. Monitoring was realized manually with frequency one per month with using Z-meter devices developed through international EUREKA programme. The monitoring system allows measurement at one selected frequency of the measuring signal, or measurement in a frequency band. Both approaches were used to monitor changes in soil water content. Changes in the water content in the soil were monitored during artificial irrigation of grass (frequency spectrum) with a mobile probe and due to changes in the weather - drought and after torrential rain on the site (chosen frequency of the measuring signal) with stable probes. For practical reasons to limit the influence of uncertainties, the measurement was conceived as relative, and therefore calibration was not carried out for e.g. relative humidity of the soil. The monitoring results show the possibility of using the measuring system for the given purpose in full, including the possibility of its automation.
Comparison of elvaloy and styrene-butadiene-styrene added polymer modified bitumen
Authors: TACİROĞLU Murat Vergi
Published: September 2023

One of the methods used to produce road pavements resistant to increased traffic volume and harsh environmental conditions is to improve the properties of bituminous binders, such as high temperature resistance and aging resistance, by using various additives. Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene and Elvaloy are two different commercial additives that are frequently used in pavement construction. In this study, the performance of three different B50/70 grade pure bitumens was modified by using Elvaloy at 1.6%, 1.7%, and 1.8%, and five different B50/70 grade pure bitumens were modified using 4.0%, 4.5%, and 5.0% Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene. Penetration, softening point, elastic recovery, flash point, storage stability, dynamic shear rheometer, beam bending rheometer, rotational thin film oven, and pressure aging vessel tests were applied to the binders in accordance with the Polymer Modified Bitumen technical specifications. According to the test results, it was determined that the additive rates for both modifiers are the optimum values in accordance with the specification. The results of the storage stability tests also showed that the non-homogeneous dispersion of the Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene modified binders during mixing had a significant effect on the behaviour of the binder after storage.

Tilapia has been consolidated as a widely produced and widespread species throughout Brazil, in the south of the country, due to the low temperatures during the winter, more easily acclimatized species have been chosen, such as carp. There are still no studies comparing the economic viability of these two consolidated activities. In this context, the present study carried out an analysis of zootechnical and economic indicators of the production of Carps (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), in a family property, in Rio Grande do Sul. The results showed that both activities presented satisfactory economic viability. Carp showed a profitability index per year of 16.28% and tilapia of 16.18%, values ​​higher than the Selic rate in Brazil of 13.25% per year. The cost of feeding tilapia represents 73% of production costs, followed by labor costs (9%) and fingerlings (7%). In carp production, the cost of food was 43%, followed by labor (36%) and fingerlings (5%). It is concluded that there is a possibility of increasing profitability in the next production cycles, based on the optimization of production systems.

Uropathogenic E. coli is the most common cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs), accounting for 80-90% of community-acquired UTIs and 30-50% of hospital-acquired UTIs. Uropathogenic E. coli that form biofilms are linked to chronic and persistent inflammation, resulting in severe and recurring UTIs. Biofilms promote antibiotic resistance and the horizontal transfer of virulence genes, promoting the formation of multidrug-resistant organisms. This study aimed to combine low-molecular-weight chitosan with aminoglycoside gentamicin to improve its efficacy against biofilm formation and MDR E. coli.  Different strains of bacteria were isolated from urine samples of different patients at the Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad, out of which 16 were identified as E. coli by API (Analytical Profile Index) 20E. The antibiotic sensitivity profile was determined using the disk diffusion method, and the results showed that a total of 10 isolates were found to be multidrug-resistant MDR (N=62.5%). Biofilm formation was tested using the TCP method, a total of 7 isolates were found to be strong biofilm producers (N=44%). Gentamicin exhibited the highest inhibitory activity against 10 isolates of E.coli, with MIC-p ranges of 4 and 2 µg/ml, respectively, while 6 isolates showed resistance to gentamicin with MIC-p ranges >512 µg/ml.

Evaluation of Convolution Sums entailing mixed Divisor Functions for a Class of Levels
Authors: Ntienjem Ebenezer
Published: September 2023

Let $0< n,\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{N}$ be such that $\gcd{(\alpha,\beta)}=1$. We carry out the evaluation of the convolution sums $\underset{\substack{ {(k,l)\in\mathbb{N}^{2}} \\ {\alpha\,k+\beta\,l=n} } }{\sum}\sigma(k)\sigma_{3}(l)$ and $\underset{\substack{ {(k,l)\in\mathbb{N}^{2}} \\ {\alpha\,k+\beta\,l=n} } }{\sum}\sigma_{3}(k)\sigma(l)$ for all levels $\alpha\beta\in\mathbb{N}$, by using in particular modular forms. We next apply convolution sums belonging to this class of levels to determine formulae for the number of representations of a positive integer $n$ by the quadratic forms in twelve variables $\underset{i=1}{\overset{12}{\sum}}x_{i}^{2}$ when the level $\alpha\beta\equiv 0\pmod{4}$, and $\underset{i=1}{\overset{6}{\sum}}\,(\,x_{2i-1}^{2}+ x_{2i-1}x_{2i} + x_{2i}^{2}\,)$ when the level $\alpha\beta\equiv 0\pmod{3}$. Our approach is then illustrated by explicitly evaluating the convolution sum for $\alpha\beta=3$, $6$, $7$, $8$, $9$, $12$, $14$, $15$, $16$, $18$, $20$, $21$, $27$, $32$. These convolution sums are then applied to determine explicit formulae for the number of representations of a positive integer $n$ by quadratic forms in twelve variables.
Are Mega-Events Only for Global Cities? Analyzing Host Cities through the Global and World Cities Framework, 1990–2020
Authors: Faure Alexandre , Lauermann John
Published: September 2023

Mega-events have long been promoted as opportunities for cities to become more globalized, thereby enhancing tourism- and consumption-based economic development. But does this mega-event strategy actually work for smaller cities? This article compares the recent history of mega-event planning to cities’ ratings on the Global and World City (GaWC) ranking system, a typology for evaluating cities’ connectivity within the global economy. We surveyed 138 cities that bid on or hosted a variety of multi-sport mega-events. Competition for the most prominent mega-events is dominated by the most globalized “alpha” ranked cities, though less-globalized cities regularly bid for and host smaller mega-events. On average, hosting a mega-event has no significant effect on a city's GaWC ranking. Using a subsample of bids for the Summer Olympics, we further find that there is no specific model of mega-event planning in alpha cities: simply being a large and highly globalized city appears to be central to their success. This suggests mega-events are not a realistic mechanism for smaller and less-globalized cities to advance their global ambitions.

Published: September 2023

The aim of the research is to explain and describe the rise and decline of Muslims. Research was carried out in the literature where data sources came from articles, books, magazines and news. The results of this research illustrate that the era of Saladin Al-Ayyubi's leadership brought Islam towards a true revival in educational, thought, social, economic, and political aspects. Islam plays a crucial role in the nation's path. However, it turns out that Islam also has its own pluralism in the characteristics of its teachings, people, and beliefs. In the 19th century AD, the latest thinking in Islam emerged among Muslim thinkers who paid attention to the revival of Islam after experiencing a period of decline in all fields after the fall of the Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad in 1258 AD. The impact of Hulagu's attack destroyed the buildings of Islamic civilization. At that time it was a beacon of world civilization. The emergence of the latest thoughts in Islam is motivated by 2 factors, namely external factors and internal factors. This research needs to be refined with further studies in the form of analysis of Muslim unity to achieve victory through more comprehensive data sources.

The Reception of Learned Law in Fourteenth- and Fifteenth-Century Frisia
Authors:   , Wiegand Marvin Paul
Published: September 2023

This study explores the reception of learned law in Late Medieval Frisia, particularly in the 14th and 15th centuries. While scholars in the 17th century noted the comprehensive application of Roman law in Frisia, this study shows that elements of learned law were present for centuries prior. It investigates the changes in the Frisian legal system, methods, and norms, as well as the reasons for adopting or adapting foreign law. During the Medieval period, Frisia enjoyed a unique position of self-governance, with no feudal structures or serfdom. Consequently, changes to the legal system were made by the Frisians themselves and their customs and practices, rather than by a central authority.
Three legal cultures form the basis of this research: traditional and indigenous Frisian law, Canon law with its consequential establishment of ecclesiastical structures, and the spread of Roman law in the late Medieval period. The analysis focuses on the interaction between these three legal cultures in the law and legal practice of late Medieval Frisia.
This study examines five separate topics, covering five fields of law: niarkap and contract law; proof and procedural law; theft and the law of delict; testaments; and widowhood and guardianship.
Based on the findings, it can be suggested that Late Medieval Frisia's reception of learned law consisted of receiving systems, methods, and norms to varying degrees, but it was never complete. Frisians had various reasons to adopt elements of learned law, such as filling gaps in their own legal system, but they also had several reasons to resist receiving such elements and maintain their traditional legal concepts and elements, like niarkap, oaths, and the house search. The conclusion identifies a progression in the reception of learned law from the 14th to the 15th century, starting primarily with comparisons between Frisian and learned law, which eventually led to the adoption of norms, methods, and systems. Although this study covers a broad range of topics and offers many new findings, further research is needed to uncover more insights into the reception of learned law in Medieval Frisia.
Proposta e simulação de rota de processo para reintrodução em minerodutos de pellet feed dispostos em bacias de emergência
Authors: Andrade Pedro Henrique Batista , Mendes Marcos Vinicius Agapito
Published: September 2023

O escoamento do minério de ferro é essencial para a comercialização, principalmente em regiões distantes, e os minerodutos surgem como uma alternativa eficiente e sustentável para o transporte, evitando sobrecarga nas rodovias e reduzindo o consumo de combustíveis fósseis e emissões de gases de efeito estufa. No entanto, em algumas situações, é necessário o uso de estações de bombeamento ao longo dos minerodutos para impulsionar a polpa e evitar entupimentos. Essas estações podem possuir bacias de emergência para receber descargas emergenciais de minério e armazenar água. Quando as bacias atingem altos níveis de enchimento, torna-se necessário remover o minério acumulado. Nesse contexto, o artigo propõe uma rota de processo para viabilizar a reintrodução do minério de ferro, especificamente o pellet feed, depositado nas bacias de emergência de minerodutos. O processo envolve etapas como revolvimento e dragagem dos sedimentos, adequação granulométrica e homogeneização da polpa e adensamento da polpa por meio de hidrociclones. Foram realizados ensaios de caracterização do minério e simulações de processos para definir os equipamentos a serem utilizados. Os resultados mostraram que a polpa de pellet feed apresenta uma distribuição granulométrica adequada para o processo proposto, sem a presença de material grosseiro. O sistema de adensamento de polpa foi projetado com hidrociclones de diferentes tamanhos para obter um produto com densidade acima de 1,5 t/m³ e um retorno com densidade de aproximadamente 1,07 t/m³. Os parâmetros admitidos para o processo incluíram uma densidade de polpa dragada entre 1,30 t/m³ e 1,35 t/m³ e uma densidade de polpa produzida acima de 1,50 t/m³. A rota de processo proposta visa tornar viável a reintrodução do minério de ferro depositado nas bacias de emergência dos minerodutos, contribuindo para a eficiência e sustentabilidade do transporte desse importante recurso mineral.

Published: September 2023

The early detection of cancer can be helpful in complete curing the disease. According to the most research in developed countries shows results that just because of inaccurate detection the numbers of people who have brain tumor were died. As the use of digital images has rapidly increased over the past decade, Radiologists by using computed Tomography (CT scan) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examine the patient physically. In surgical & medical assessments, brain tumor segmentation using MRI images is very difficult and important task. For diagnosis of brain tumor MR image is visually examined by the physician. However, this method of manual detection resists accurate tumor detection and more time consuming. To overcome these problems, this paper uses computer aided techniques such as SVM for extraction of tumor is key component to automate specific radiological tasks for the characterization of anatomical structures and regions of interest and AD algorithm to locate tumor area on the MRI images. At the end of process, the tumor detected from the MR image and its exact position and the shape also determined. This technique allows the segmentation of brain tumor tissue with accuracy, improved performance and robustness; it also reduces the effect of noise.

Published: September 2023

Background: In 2003, the Government of Zambia in collaboration with implementing partners in immunisation introduced the Reaching Every District (RED) strategy to improve immunization coverage. The aim of this study is to evaluate the implementation of the RED strategy in Lusaka district.

Methods: A questionnaire was administered among health centres in charge of all governmental health clinics in Lusaka districts (N = 27). RED implementation was quantified by calculating a RED implementation score (IS) for each of the RED components on a scale of 0 (low implementation score) to 5 (high implementation score).

Results: The mean overall RED implementation score was 3.5. The RED component of linking services with community and re-establishing outreach were the two weakest components.

Conclusions and recommendations: This evaluation showed that there are a number of elements of the RED strategy which are well implemented; however, some elements need further improvements. There is need for more research on the implementation of the RED strategy in Zambia in order to identify bottlenecks for improving immunization coverage at larger scale and a wider participation.

Child Life Internship Readiness: Perspectives of Child Life Academics
Authors: Wittenberg Camp Brittany , Cantrell Kathryn , Sisk Cara
Published: September 2023

Objective:

Certified Child Life Specialists provide psychosocial care that supports development and coping to children and families in pediatric settings. The child life profession is growing, and research is needed to support the profession’s continued development.

Method:

This mixed-methods study captures the perspectives of child life academics with the goal to understand the child life intern preparation process.

Results:

Results suggest that academics focus on specific knowledge, skills, and abilities when preparing child life interns and assessing internship readiness. Quantitative data shows that it is taking longer for child life students to secure an internship placement.

Conclusion:

This delay has implications for the profession’s sustainability and ability to meet the needs of children and families in hospitals. Additional implications for this research include opportunities for improvement in academic education, clinical training, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Ten Stupid Things Doctors Do on Social Media
Authors: Lazarus Arthur
Published: September 2023

This article reviews 10 common mistakes physicians make when posting comments and videos on social media platforms such as Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook. Posting poor-quality information and information that is unscientific, unreliable, or racially and ethnically divisive should always be avoided. Substances banned or unapproved by the FDA or that violate DEA prescribing guidelines should not be marketed though social media channels. Livestreamed medical procedures should have educational value and protect patient privacy. Above all, users of social media should be thoroughly familiar with the functionality of the various platforms. Physicians’ missteps have resulted in imprisonment, revocation of medical licensure, fines, and personal and institutional reputational damage.

Authors: Shim Sung , Kumar Arun , Jiao Roger
Published: September 2023

This study attempts to assess the efficiency of using computer simulation in the outpatient consultation process in a hospital clinic. The simulation results show that there are opportunities for improvement in patient wait times in the clinic. Based on the simulation results, we recommend the optimal number of nurses at which patient wait times could be reduced and nurses could be most efficiently utilized. The study demonstrates that computer simulation can be an effective tool supporting decisions on nurse staffing in the clinic.

O trabalho é um recorte de uma pesquisa de Mestrado que teve como objetivo analisar as concepções dos coordenadores escolares, gestores e coordenadores sobre o princípio da participação como pressuposto necessário à gestão democrática, na perspectiva do trabalho do coordenador pedagógico. O estudo pauta-se na dialética, na perspectiva do materialismo histórico e apropria-se da pesquisa bibliográfica para o aprofundamento teórico do objeto de estudo. Utiliza-se da análise documental e da entrevista semiestruturada, como instrumentos para coleta de dados. Desenvolveu-se na Rede Municipal de Educação - Ensino Fundamental, em Itapetinga-BA, tendo como sujeitos da investigação sete coordenadores pedagógicos escolares, quatro gestores das escolas onde atuam os coordenadores pedagógicos e dois coordenadores técnicos. Evidenciamos os entraves e as contradições nos processos de gestão democrática respaldados no princípio de participação, uma vez que os documentos analisados reconhecem e apresentam os mecanismos de participação, no entanto, nas escolas, poucos espaços para decisões coletivas são oportunizados.

Objetivo: La producción científica de las universidades desempeña un papel fundamental en el progreso y el desarrollo de la sociedad. Estas instituciones son motores de conocimiento y generación de nuevas ideas, contribuyendo de manera significativa al avance de la ciencia y la tecnología. En ese sentido, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar la producción científica de seis universidades del suroriente peruano en la base de datos Scopus.   Método: La investigación fue de tipo bibliométrica y retrospectiva, en la cual se describió la producción científica de la UNAMAD, UAC, UNSAAC, UNIQ, UNA y UNAJ mediante el análisis de los documentos indizados en Scopus.   Resultados: Se halló que la UNSAAC y la UNA contaban con una mayor producción científica en Scopus, con 1060 y 645 documentos, respectivamente. Asimismo, se encontró que ambas universidades incrementaron notablemente su producción científica en la última década y tenían la mayor cantidad de docentes investigadores RENACYT. Del mismo modo, se determinó que las principales áreas temáticas vinculadas a los documentos indizados a Scopus fueron Ciencias Sociales y Ciencias Agrícolas y Biológicas. Finalmente se corroboró que los tipos de documentos predominantes en todas las universidades eran los artículos originales, los artículos de conferencia y los artículos de revisión, los cuales fueron publicados mayormente en inglés y español.   Conclusiones: En los últimos años la producción científica de las universidades del suroriente peruano en la base de datos Scopus se ha incrementado significativamente, sin embargo, aún es limitada e insuficiente en comparación con las universidades más competitivas del país.

Some properties of the Sharma–Mittal statistical distribution
Authors: Bakiev T. N. , Nakashidze D. V. , Savchenko A. M. , Semenov K. M.
Published: September 2023

The statistical theory based on the two-parameter Sharma–Mittal functional is a generalization of the statistics of Gibbs, Renyi and Tsallis. In this paper, the formalism of statistical mechanics based on the Sharma–Mittal entropy functional is considered, and the theorem on the equidistribution of energy for classical statistical
systems by degrees of freedom is proved. A generalized Maxwell distribution for the corresponding statistics is obtained and the characteristics of statistical systems described by the distribution are calculated: the average velocity modulus, the root-mean-square and the most probable velocities of gas particles. A generalized
Sakura–Tetrode formula is also obtained.
