A Model on Charter Rate Prediction in Container Shipping
Authors: Tuzcuoğlu Tolga , Gencer Hüseyin
Published: October 2023

The maritime industry has witnessed numerous challenges in recent years after the global pandemic, primarily characterized by sharp fluctuations in the daily charter rates. Considering an unpredictable business environment, this study aims to suggest a financial forecasting model on charter rates, creating added value for the stakeholders of the maritime trade business. The empirical analysis utilized the data from the Clarksons Research Portal, which encompassed 7,409 charter rental transactions of container ships from 01.01.2018 to 10.03.2023. After examining seven different linear and ensemble regressions, it was revealed that the XGBoost regressor resulted in the least RMSE value of 0.1833 with an R2 of 0.9015. The selected predictors were the TEU, container fixture type, charter time, charter time multiplied by TEU, ship age, laycan year, and laycan month, respectively. In addition to coping with the limitations of linear regression, the model revealed that the laycan years, charter time, and charter time multiplied with TEU were the essential variables in charter rate prediction. As a result, the model developed in the study can be used as an important decision support tool for stakeholders in the container shipping industry.

Derin Ekoloji Kavramının Anlatılmasında Sinema Filmlerinin Kullanımı: Avatar Suyun Yolu Filmi Örneği
Authors: Kızılaslan Sinem
Published: October 2023

İnsan yaşantısının temeli insan ihtiyaçlarına dayanmaktadır. İnsanların sonsuz ihtiyaç, istek ve arzuları çevre üzerinde yıkıcı ve yıpratıcı etkilere neden olabilmektedir. Bu ilişkide insan “doğanın hâkimi”, doğa ise “kaynak” rolündedir. Çevreci yaklaşımlar ve sürdürülebilirlik kavramının temelini de bu görüş oluşturmaktadır. İnsan, merkezi oluşturur. Derin ekoloji, insan merkezli bu yaklaşımın yanlış olduğunu biyo-merkezci yaklaşımın doğru olduğunu savunmaktadır. Doğanın bir “kaynak” olmadığı, ekosistemde yaşayan bütün canlıların kendi özlerinde sahip oldukları değer nedeniyle önemli olduklarını öne sürer. Bu bakış açısında tek tek türlerin değil, ekosistemin sürekliliği önemlidir. İster” kaynak” olarak ele alınsın ister biyo-merkez olarak, her iki bakış açısının çıkış noktası doğanın zarar gördüğü gerçeğidir. Doğanın zarar görmesi sadece insanların değil tüm yaşamın zarar görmesi anlamına gelmektedir. Bu zararın durdurulması ise insanların çevrelerine verdikleri zararın farkına varmalarıyla mümkündür. Farkındalık sürecinde görsel verilerin önemli bir yeri vardır. Bu nedenle sinema sanatı görsel algıyla çevresel farkındalığın oluşturulmasında önemli bir araç olarak kullanılabilir. Konu kapsamında Avatar: The Way of Water filmi derin ekoloji kapsamında incelenmiştir. Filmin klasik anlatı yapısı, Todorov’un anlatı dizilimi ile açıklanarak derin ekoloji kavramı ile ilişkilendirilmiştir.
MOSPD1 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: October 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that motile sperm domain-containing 1, encoded by MOSPD1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. MOSPD1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of MOSPD1 in primary tumors was correlated with patient distant metastasis-free and recurrence-free survival. Modulation of MOSPD1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Challenges to Ontological Dignity: Exploring Disrespect in a Value-Free Society - A Contemporary Analysis of the Nigerian Context
Authors: favour Laniyan , olaoyegodwin  , Adedokun Daniel
Published: October 2023

In a world characterized by rapidly evolving cultural, political, and ethical landscapes, the notion of ontological dignity remains an enduring beacon, illuminating the inherent worth of every human being. Ontological dignity is the intrinsic value and worth that each person possesses by virtue of being human. It transcends socio-cultural boundaries, defying the constraints of time and place. However, in contemporary society, there exists a growing concern that this foundational concept is under threat, particularly in contexts marked by the erosion of values and the rise of a value-free society. One such context is the contemporary Nigerian experience.Nigeria, a nation teeming with diversity in its cultures, religions, and traditions, has long grappled with the complexities of modernity, globalization, and the challenges of a pluralistic society. As Nigeria finds its place in an increasingly interconnected world, the principles of ontological dignity are continually tested, leading to a pressing need for an in-depth analysis of the factors that contribute to disrespect for the ontological dignity of the human person within its borders.
What is dehumanization?
Authors: Berks Ela A
Published: October 2023

Dehumanization is one of eight forms of “moral disengagement” described by the psychologist Albert Bandura. Humans are capable of terrible crimes, and civilization has developed ways to inhibit aggression. However, we have not eliminated violence, in part because of techniques for creating (false) excuses and justifications for immoral behavior. All moral disengagement techniques are tricks to get people to accept behaviors that they would otherwise immediately recognize as unethical and unfair. For example, assuming most people are not big fans of child abuse, dehumanization and other moral disengagement strategies are used to trick people into accepting abuse of some children. The manipulators do it to secure power or financial gain.
Marketing Reevaluated: Proposing Computer-assisted Generation of Online Seller Marketing Content
Authors: Sirivara Neel
Published: October 2023

The rapidly advancing online marketplace necessitates adaptation from sellers and consumers alike. Oftentimes in established markets, sellers without grand funding or an extremely experienced marketing team will struggle despite offering products of equal or greater value than established competitors. This research paper presents a complete methodology, harnessing data mining, AI, and statistical techniques, for inexperienced sellers to augment their marketing copy and produce high-level, competitive marketing content. With the aid of existing materials and research, this paper’s proposed model can offer a balancing factor between new and established sellers in the constantly evolving online market.
Theta activity and cognitive functioning: Integrating evidence from resting-state and task-related developmental electroencephalography (EEG) research
Authors: Tan Enda , Troller-Renfree Sonya V. , Morales Santiago , Buzzell George , McSweeney Marco , Antúnez Martín , Fox Nathan
Published: October 2023

The theta band is one of the most prominent frequency bands in the electroencephalography (EEG) power spectrum and presents an interesting paradox: while elevated theta power during resting state is linked to lower cognitive abilities in children and adolescents, increased theta power during cognitive tasks is associated with higher cognitive performance. Why does theta power, measured during resting state versus cognitive tasks, show differential correlations with cognitive functioning? This review provides an integrated account of the functional correlates of theta across different contexts. We first present evidence that higher theta power during resting state is correlated with lower executive functioning, attentional abilities, language skills, and IQ. Next, we review research showing that theta power increases during memory, attention, and cognitive control, and that higher theta power during these processes is correlated with better performance. Finally, we discuss potential explanations for the differential correlations between resting/task-related theta and cognitive functioning, and offer suggestions for future research in this area.

CDiGRA 2023 Extended Abstract: Loot boxes, gambling-related risk factors, and mental health in Mainland China: A large-scale survey
Authors: Xiao Leon Y. , Fraser Tullia C. , Nielsen Rune , Newall Philip Warren Stirling
Published: October 2023

Loot boxes can be bought with real-world money to obtain random content inside video games (Drummond and Sauer 2018). Loot boxes are viewed by many as gambling-like and are prevalently implemented globally (Xiao 2023; Xiao, Henderson, and Newall 2023; 2022; Zendle et al. 2020; 2022), including in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Previous Western and international studies have consistently found loot box spending to be positively correlated with problem gambling (Zendle and Cairns 2018; Spicer et al. 2021; Garea et al. 2021). Previous Western studies presented mixed results as to the correlations between loot box purchasing and gambling-related risk factors, mental wellbeing, and psychological distress (Etchells, Morgan, and Quintana 2022; cf. Drummond, Hall, and Sauer 2022). A large-scale survey of adult video game players from Mainland China (N = 2,601) was conducted through Tencent Survey to assess the relationships between loot box spending and potential gambling-related risk factors and mental health. The positive correlations between loot box spending and problem gambling, and between loot box spending and problem videogaming, were successfully replicated. However, other potential risk factors (i.e., impulsivity/impulsiveness; binary past-year gambling participation status; and sensation-seeking tendencies) either did not positively correlate with loot box spending or only did so weakly. Contrary to expectations (see Garrett et al. 2023), high impulsivity was negatively associated with loot box engagement. The Risky Loot Box Index (RLI) (see Brooks and Clark 2019) most strongly positively correlated with, and was the best predictor in multiple linear regression models for, loot box spending. The RLI may be effective at measuring loot box harms cross-culturally (see Forsström et al. 2022). A surprising weak positive correlation was found between loot box engagement and PRC players’ mental wellbeing, and high psychological distress unexpectedly negatively predicted loot box purchasing. No evidence was found that loot box engagement correlated negatively with mental wellbeing or positively with psychological distress amongst PRC video game players. In fact, there was weak support for the opposite. The practical harms of engaging with loot boxes (if any) need further elucidation. Cross-cultural research can contribute to a better understanding of loot box harms.

Exploring the Impact of Auxiliary Generators in Contrastive Learning for Improved Few-Shot Learning in Remote Sensing Image Classification
Authors: favour Laniyan , Odu Anthomy , Rose Jack , Adedokun Daniel
Published: October 2023

The field of remote sensing has undergone a profound transformation in recent years, owing to the exponential growth of Earth observation satellites and the increasing needfor comprehensive, high-resolution geospatial data. Remote sensing image classification, a vital task in this domain, involves the categorization of land cover, objects, orphenomena from satellite or aerial imagery. This classification process is essential fornumerous applications, ranging from environmental monitoring, urban planning, disastermanagement, to agricultural assessments. One of the persistent challenges in remote sensing image classification is the scarcity oflabeled data for training. Collecting and annotating large-scale datasets is bothtime-consuming and cost-intensive, particularly in remote and inaccessible regions. Moreover, the heterogeneity and complexity of these images make it even morechallenging to develop robust classification models. In this context, few-shot learningtechniques have emerged as a promising solution to address the data scarcity issue. Few-shot learning empowers machine learning models to learn and generalize from alimited number of labeled samples, a feat which standard deep learning models oftenstruggle with.

The Equivalence Principle, Holographic Principle and Quantum-Gravitational Corrections for Regge Calculus
Authors: Shalyt-Margolin Alexander
Published: October 2023

This paper presents a study of quantum-gravitational corrections to General Relativity (GR) when the latter is considered in a discrete pattern of the Regge Calculus.These corrections have been found explicitly in the case when the space-time foam ala Wheeler at the Planck scale comprises Planck (quantum) black holes, whereas thephysical system per se, where GR is considered, represents a black hole in stationarystate (i.e. in the absorption and radiation processes absence) or after of minimal accretion, and in a more general case,if it satis?es the Hooft-Susskind HolographicPrinciple. It is shown that these corrections generate the contributions changingthe plane geometry of the corresponding simplices in the Regge Calculus and thatsuch changes are most signi?cant at high (Planck) energies.

Authors: Steve Mangrove , Odu Anthomy , Adedokun Daniel
Published: October 2023

Remote sensing technology plays a pivotal role in today's world, enabling theacquisition of valuable information about the Earth's surface and its dynamicprocesses. From monitoring environmental changes and disaster management toprecision agriculture and urban planning, the applications of remote sensing arewide-ranging. One of the challenges in remote sensing is the need to recognize andclassify objects or phenomena with limited labeled data, a scenario often referredto as few-shot learning. Few-shot learning in remote sensing tasks presents unique challenges due to thescarcity of annotated samples for a wide variety of land cover and land usecategories. Traditional machine learning techniques often struggle to adapt to thesedata constraints, limiting the ability to accurately detect and classify objects ofinterest. To address this, researchers have turned to advanced machine learningtechniques, including contrastive learning, to improve few-shot learning in remotesensing
Echoes in the Gallery: A Collaborative Immersive Analytics System for Analyzing Audience Reactions in Virtual Reality Exhibitions
Authors: Yuan Linping , Tong Wai , Takahira Kentaro , Wen Zikai , Yang Yalong
Published: October 2023

Virtual reality (VR) has enriched the exhibition experience, yet curators and artists often face challenges in curation due to disagreements in the spatial arrangement of exhibits. Although VR applications permit audiences to express their reactions, these multimodal and semantically rich data remain underutilized in spatial arrangement deliberations. Based on insights from semi-structured interviews with curators and artists, we outline design requirements to enhance collaboration in analyzing visitors' reactions, focusing on traffic flow analysis, angle-induced reactions, what-if analysis, and cross-view annotations. To meet these requirements, we propose a novel collaborative immersive analytic system that visualizes audience flow and individual reactions within VR spaces, facilitating more effective communication and decision-making between artists and curators. Future research will explore advanced visual design techniques to address scalability issues and in-place spatial comparison. We will also finish the development and conduct usability studies.
Relational Goals and Interpersonal Perceptions in Daily Life: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Huang Siyuan , Pincus Aaron L. , Wilson Stephen Jeffrey , Newman Michelle G. , Levy Kenneth N.
Published: October 2023

Research shows that increased pursuit of intrinsic goals and decreased pursuit of extrinsic goals are associated with elevated perceived communal behaviors. This preliminary study extends prior research by examining how day-to-day variations in intrinsic (i.e., community feelings) and extrinsic relational goals (i.e., self-image, conformity) link to fluctuations in perceptions of agency and communion during interactions in a clinical sample. Fifty-four psychotherapy outpatients completed ratings of their agentic and communal perceptions following each interaction and provided momentary ratings of their goals across 21 days. These ratings were averaged across surveys for each day to create daily aggregated scores. Multilevel models revealed that on the days when individuals rated themselves and others as interpersonally warmer during social interactions than they usually were, they rated their community goals as more important than their average. Communal perception of self was also positively associated with self-image goals but did not significantly covary with conformity goals. Between persons, individuals who reported lower communal perceptions of others than the prototypical participant rated their self-image goals as more important. These findings provide preliminary evidence that perceiving self and other as warm during interactions accompanies increased community and self-image goals, whereas this relation was not present for conformity goals. Furthermore, persistent concerns with one’s self-image goals appears linked to persistent views of others as interpersonally colder.
Side-effects of MDMA-assisted Psychotherapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Colcott Julia , Guerin Alexandre , Carter Olivia , Meikle Sally , Bedi Gillinder
Published: October 2023

Evidence suggests that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy (MDMA-AP) has therapeutic potential for treatment of psychiatric illness. We conducted the first comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of the side effects of MDMA-AP across indications. We also assessed the quality of side effects reporting in published trials of MDMA-AP. PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, MEDLINE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were systematically searched. Quality of side effects reporting was assessed against the CONSORT Harms 2022 guidelines. We also compared numbers of adverse events reported in publications to those recorded in ClinicalTrial.gov registers. Thirteen studies met inclusion criteria, of which eight contributed data to the meta-analysis. In Phase 2 studies, MDMA-AP was associated with increased odds of any side effect during medication sessions (OR = 1.67, 95%CI (1.12, 2.49)) and in the 7 days following (OR = 1.59, 95%CI (1.12, 2.24)). In Phase 3 studies, MDMA-AP was associated with increased odds of any treatment emergent adverse event (OR = 3.51, 95%CI (2.76, 4.46)). The majority of RCTs were rated as having high risk of bias. Certainty of the evidence was rated as very low to moderate according to the GRADE framework. No included RCT had adequate adherence to the CONSORT Harms 2022 recommendations and reporting rates were also low. Compared to placebo, MDMA-AP was associated with increased odds of side effects, which were largely transient and mild or moderate in severity. However, identified limitations in existing evidence indicate that further investigation is needed to better characterize the safety profile of MDMA-AP and guide implementation.
The effect of red on intelligence: p-curve, p-uniform, and a failed replication
Authors: Protzko John , Schooler Jonathan
Published: October 2023

A number of studies have reported exposure to red stimuli temporarily decreases intelligence. Using both a p-curve and p-uniform meta-analysis, we examine the evidentiary value of this literature, investigating it for bias. We test eleven effect sizes from eight randomized controlled trials providing statistically significant estimates for the ‘red-effect’. We find the p-curve and p-uniform techniques show effect sizes reported are unconfounded by p-hacking, with no evidence for publication bias, with results suggesting that being exposed to red stimuli may cause over a half a standard deviation decrease in cognitive ability, with the literature having evidentiary value. We then test this evidentiary value in a large, pre-registered experiment (https://osf.io/autkr/) on a representative sample of 1700 American adults. We find no effect of seeing the color red on intellectual performance. Here we show that evidentiary value does not translate into reproducibility in the context of the ‘red-effect’.
Consistency of perceiving odors: Inter- and Intra- Individual Differences in Odor Similarity Ratings
Authors: Ogawa Midori , Ayabe-Kanamura Saho
Published: October 2023

This study conducted odor pair similarity ratings twice and used the replicability of the ratings, as indicated by the correlation coefficients between the two sets of ratings, to examine the consistency of odor perception. The results showed that the correlation coefficient between the two ratings of the participants was generally low, and many participants did not rate the odor pairs’ similarly between the two sessions. Therefore, we concluded that participants did not consistently perceive the similarity of an odor quality when making repeated ratings, indicating low consistency in odor perception. In particular, participants showed more errors of rating, such as rating different odor pairs as "similar" in the second session. The lower correlation coefficient between the two ratings suggests that reduced carefulness in the rating due to familiarity may have caused the low rating consistency. Despite the low individual correlation coefficient between the two ratings, we observed a high mean correlation between the two ratings for all the experimental participants. Furthermore, the influence of outliers and errors of rating disappeared when we calculated the ratings of approximately seven participants in Experiments 1 and 3. In addition, despite significant individual differences in ratings, the mean similarity ratings for odor pairs with no overlapping components between them were low, whereas the similarity ratings for overlapping pairs were high. These findings indicate the possibility of perceiving the general characteristics of odor pairs to be evaluated, but not the subtle details.
Development of the MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy Side Effects Tool (M-SET): A Delphi Study
Authors: Colcott Julia , Guerin Alexandre , Carter Olivia , Bedi Gillinder
Published: October 2023

Background: Despite growing interest in the therapeutic potential of MDMA, no targeted measure to systematically assess side effects of MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy (MDMA-AP) exists. Our aim was to develop an MDMA-assisted psychotherapy Side-Effects Tool (M-SET) to capture side effects over a course of MDMA-AP and at follow-up. Method: Informed by a systematic review as well as a review of other relevant measures, we drafted a list of potential side effects. Face and content validation were obtained via a modified two-round online Delphi process, involving experts in MDMA-AP and the neuropsychopharmacology of MDMA.Results: Twelve experts consented to participate over two rounds of Delphi panel deliberations (response rate: R1 = 83-92%, R2 = 75%). The Delphi panelists were asked to keep, discard, modify or suggest additional items. The final version of the M-SET consists of 165 items across four questionnaires that collect information at: screening, baseline, the day of medication sessions and longer-term follow-up. Conclusion: The use of a modified Delphi technique proved a successful method to generate content for the first structured tool designed to evaluate side effects specifically associated with MDMA-AP. The M-SET is recommended for use in both research and clinical settings. Its implementation has the potential to improve the safety of delivering MDMA-AP, as well as support the development of a more systematic and robust evidence base on its safety and tolerability.

The purpose of this study was to minimize the undersizing of aortic annulus size and reduce complications by analysis the size change of aortic annulus during the cardiac cycle in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Patients were prospectively underwent an ECG-gated TAVI Planning CT. Retrospective study was conducted 41 normal group (78.92 ± 12.6 years; 44% males) and 31 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy group (74.92 ± 10.8 years; 61% males). The annulus plane was identified on reconstructions at 10% intervals of the cardiac cycle. Based on semi-automatically defined Aortic annulus, area, perimeter, effective diameter, area-derived diameter, perimeter-derived diameter were measured. The area, perimeter, effective diameter, area-derived diameter and perimeterderived diameter were significantly changes during the cardiac cycle with a relative change of 27.3%, 10.4%, 11.9%, 12.6% and 11.1% respectively. (all p < 0.001) During the cardiac cycles of groups normal and Hypertrophic myopathy, aortic annulus showed different dynamic changes. Different group showed a significant difference in the maximum values distribution plot. (p < 0.05) In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, reconstructing the entire cardiac cycle and selecting the largest annulus to TAVI planning is considered to contribute greatly to the accurate selection of the size of prosthesis in the procedure and minimizing TAVI complications.

Published: October 2023

This study was to reduce the radiation exposure dose of recipients by setting the ECG window acquisition range appropriately during Coronary artery CT Angiography (CCTA) examination. Group 1 (control group) opened ECG window acquisition range to 65% to 75% using the relative delay scan (RDS), which is divided by percentage (%) based on the R-R peak interval of recipient's Average HR, and tested by setting pitch to auto. Group 2 fixed the pitch according to the recipient's HR under the same conditions as Group 1. Group 3 used absolute delay scan (ADS), which is divided by milliseconds (ms) based on the R-R peak interval of recipient's Average HR and fixed the ECG window acquisition range by 60 ms intervals. Group 4 narrowed the scan range from 68% to 73% under the same conditions as Group 1. The values of the mean, minimum, maximum, the volume CT dose index (CTDIvol), and dose length product (DLP) were compared. The exposure dose was reduced by more than 10% when acquired with ADS, not RDS mainly obtained from CCTA. Also, compared to the existing RDS, when the scan range was reduced by half, it was reduced by more than 20%. In conclusion, In CCTA testing, setting the ECG window acquisition range to 5% or 60 ms can reduce radiation exposure without compromising the best phase image acquisition and image quality.

Published: October 2023

The open science movement is a significant development recently that promotes equality, accessibility, and transparency in research. The program aims to improve the quality and significance of research while increasing public access to science. The open science movement advocates for free and open science using various means. This novel idea gained focus since its conception during the last decade. Open access to scholarly content is a prerequisite to excel in research. Open access to research through scholarly journals is a subset of open science. This paper is an attempt to analyse journals listed on the Directory of Open Access (DOAJ) repository. The study observed that there is growth in open access journals globally. However, most of the journals are from the high-income group of developed countries. This is due to the fact that high-income nations with superior facilities and infrastructure benefited from a variety of incentives to publish in open access journals or various modes of open access. So, it can be argued that open science is a developed countries’ phenomenon. Middle and lower-middle groups of countries should encourage various forms of open science, including the open access of scholarly content through scholarly publications. Further insight into the scholarly publication patterns, including the subject coverage, citation analysis, and author-level collaboration analysis, will yield a better and holistic picture of the phenomenon.

Introduction: Play is one of the methods for teaching the necessary movement, emotional and social skills, and structured play is the basis for children's normal communication and learning processes. Aim: The purpose of this study was the effectiveness of a selected movement program of structured, unstructured, and mixed on the social and psychological development of children aged 4-6 years. Method: The present research method was semi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design. The statistical population included children aged 4-6 years in district-5 of Tehran in 2020. The statistical sample included 60 children who were randomly selected and divided into three groups of 20 children. The studied groups trained for 12-weeks according to their implementation protocol, two session’s per-week and one-hour per-session. The research groups completed Vineland Social Development Questionnaire (1989) and Children Psychological Development (2010) before and after the intervention. A mixed ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc tests were used to analyze the data. All statistical analyzes were performed using SPSS version-26 software. Results: The results showed that for social and psychological development, the main effect of levels and the interactive effect of group levels were significant (P<0.05), but the main effect of group was not significant (P>0.05). The results of the Bonferroni post hoc test showed that there was a significant difference between the mixed and structured groups (P<0.05), but no significant difference between the unstructured and structured groups and between the mixed and unstructured groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results indicating the effectiveness of the mixed exercises on psychological and social development, it is suggested that professionals and physical education teachers use these protocols to improve and promote these skills.

Modern methods of modernization of the drives of the main movement of lathes are considered. The optimization of the operation of the FT-11 screw-cutting lathe was carried out by simplifying the kinematic chain of the main movement drive and introducing frequency-controlled speed control. The optimization takes into account the capabilities of the motor bearings as well as the converter. In the mathematical environment MatLab & Simulink, a block diagram was built to calculate the critical moment brought to the spindle, as well as diagrams for constructing the mechanical characteristics required and those that can be provided on the machine spindle after simplifying its kinematic chain. An algorithm for reducing the number of gear box stages of the main drive is developed and presented.

We described the first record of capture and possible predation on Rhinella icterica (cururu toad) by Cerdocyon thous (crab-eating fox) using camera traps in a particular protected area located in Triunfo municipality, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. We obtained two videos of this event, with the first one showing the crab-eating fox probably preying the cururu toad, and the second showing the canid with the cururu toad in its mouth, holding it by the hind leg. This event demonstrated that the crab-eating fox may employed some ability to capture and eat toxic amphibians like cururu toad.

Bread wheat is the second most important food crop, providing calories to half of the world population and roughly one-fifth of the calories and protein consumed by people worldwide. Crop losses to insect pests depress yields and climate change is expected to significantly increase this problem. To combat global food insecurity, the protection of crops from insect pests must be prioritized. The Bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi, is the most abundant and economically important cereal pest, causes up to 40-60 % yield loss through direct feeding and vectoring plant diseases. The main goal of this project was to identify molecular markers associated with aphid resistance and defense metabolite levels in wild emmer wheat (WEW). During the three years of this project, we screened a large number of WEW accessions and conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis. We experimented with data processing and explored different GWAS models, which revealed a massive number of determinants of aphid resistance and highlighted hundreds of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Thus, we focused on a small subset of genes that linked to the most significant SNPs. By the end of this collaboration, we have a list of important SNPs, and three major genes that we believe have a strong effect on wheat resistance to aphids. Work on these genes is continuing and will soon publish our exciting new results.

Cоціально-психологічні особливості соціономічних професій
Authors: Сколота Едуард
Published: October 2023

У статті розкрито соціально-психологічні особливості соціономічних професій. Проведений аналіз свідчить, що соціономічна професійна діяльність має високе суспільне призначення, а фахівці соціономічного профілю відчувають підвищену вимогливість суспільства, стикаються з високим рівнем очікувань щодо своїх професійних якостей, дотримання правових і деонтологічних норм, швидкості прийняття рішень. Все це надає соціономічним професіям творчого характеру, емоційності та екстремальності, вимагає постійного спілкування з людьми, долання комунікативних бар’єрів та запобігання конфліктів.Наголошується, що з позицій системного підходу замість поняття «соціономічна сфера» доцільніше використовувати поняття «система соціономічних відносин». Під системою соціономічних відносин слід розуміти всю множину суспільних відносин і соціальних взаємодій, що відбуваються у процесі здійснення соціономічної діяльності.
Ключові слова: професійна діяльність, соціономічні професії, фахівці соціономічних професій, вимоги до фахівців соціономічних професій.
