The Biogeographic Network of Birds in the Brazilian Cerrado May Guide Conservation Efforts
Authors: De Sordi Lívia P. , Morandini Rochely S. , Pivello Vânia R. , Vidal Mariana M. , Motta-Junior José C.
Published: November 2022

The Brazilian Cerrado, characterized by grasslands, savannahs and riverine forests, is a biodiversity hotspot, threatened by the expansion of the agricultural frontier, and therefore, needs effective conservation actions. At the national level, the Cerrado core-region has received more conservation efforts than the marginal (non-core) areas, being considered more biodiverse. However, many marginal areas are also home to high species richness and endemism. Birds represent a highly diverse and widely distributed biological group, whose variety of functions gives them important roles in the maintenance of ecosystem services. In this study the authors analysed the distribution patterns of bird biodiversity in the Brazilian Cerrado and verified whether a separation into core and marginal Cerrado zones would make sense for birds’ distribution, as this is an important issue concerning resources allocation for biodiversity conservation. The authors developed a biogeographic network analysis considering 42 sites with savannah vegetation distributed throughout the country and built two presence-absence matrices for birds – with and without species typical of the woodland Cerrado and forest physiognomies – and generated two biogeographic networks. The network without woodland/forest bird species showed no modularity, whereas the complete network produced three modules: Northwest, Centre-South and Centre-North. Network modularity was mainly determined by forest/woodland bird species. The Northwest region was richer and had a greater number of regional species compared to the other two modules; lower richness of bird species was found in the Centre-South region, which had more widespread species. The biogeographic pattern for the Cerrado birds perceived in this study did not evidence a clear dichotomy between core versus marginal regions. Therefore, the same conservation effort should be implemented throughout the Cerrado.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical parameters of mangoes for export. The results revealed that mangoes lose firmness after three days of storage and the pulp turns yellow-orange. The sugar content increases progressively along storage time. However, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity decreases with storage time confirming the decrease of phenol content. As for the activity of polyphenoloxidases (PPO) and peroxidases (POD), it increased during the storage of mangoes suggesting a degradation of phenolic compounds during storage. Furthermore, the study reported a loss of firmness inversely proportional to the time (7, 14, 21-days) and temperature (4, 10, 14 °C) of mango storage. The pulp of mangoes stored at low temperature started to show orange color after 14 days of storage at 10 °C and after 7 days of storage at 14 °C. The sugar content of mangoes stored at 14 °C was higher than that of mangoes stored at 4 and 10 °C. Similarly, phenol content, PAL, PPO and POD activities were lower at 4 and 10 °C and high when mangoes were stored at 14°C. Therefore, storage time and temperature influence harvested mangoes physico-chemical parameters of mangoes. High storage times and temperatures promote rapid ripening of mangoes by increasing sugar content and color, and decreasing pulp firmness. Furthermore, phenol synthesis decrease and oxidation increase was observed. Also, low temperatures delay ripening and preserve the quality of mangoes for up to 21 days. This makes it possible to envisage an export without deterioration of mangoes, which requires a maritime transport of 14 days.

Published: November 2022

Adsorption of polymers is a phenomenon of great importance in a number of areas of our daily life. However, understanding this phenomenon is essential. This work focuses on the theoretical study of the polyethylene glycol (PEG) adsorption phenomenon on thenatural clay-layer surface. Clay is considered as a matrix. Different adsorption regimes have been presented. The expressions of the surface coverage ratio as a function of the volume fraction of monomer for each regime were calculated. A strong adsorption was noted for the first two regimes (dilute surface, and bidimensional semi-dilute surface) confirmed by the exponential term. When the surface becomes saturated, we are in the plateau regime for which the adsorption varies logarithmically, due to the occupation of most of the sites available on the clay-layer surface. Finally, we presented the variation of the volume fraction as a function of 𝑧(axis perpendicular to the surface), we have shown that a layer of polyethylene glycol (PEG) adsorbed on a natural clay-layer surface is composed of three zones (proximal, central and distal) with different volume fractions.

This project aim is to investigate the breakdown characteristics of unused transformer oil and olive oil under AC and DC voltage at different temperature rate. HVAC and HVDC breakdown tests are carried out alongside with the hemisphere electrode arrangements. The high voltage test is done in order to observe the performances of the oil samples to attain the highest breakdown AC and DC voltages. In addition, this project needs to be done to see if olive oil as one of the vegetable oil can be an alternative for the conventional transformer oil. Commonly used transformer oil is made from mineral oil and it is declining day by day as its use increases. So as a precaution studies are done with vegetable oils to replace the mineral oil-based transformer insulation fluid. In this study, each oil sample is tested at different temperature rate and has recorded different value of breakdown voltage from the experiment. The gap distance between electrodes is constant and oil samples are heated at different temperature ranges. More voltage is needed to breakdown at higher temperature rate. Both the unused transformer oil and olive oil have linearly increased AC and DC breakdown voltages when subjected to higher temperatures. However, it is found that the highest AC and DC breakdown voltages are recorded at the highest temperature range and when the insulating medium used is olive oil. Moreover, the obtained AC and DC voltages are then be used to study the electric field in FEMM software.

The application of tiny body sensors to collect, process, store, analyze, and retrieve medical information from a human body is a part of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). IoMT helps to monitor and track human vital health parameters, predict disease, notify the patients and the health care professionals with relevant data for analyzing the problems before they become severe and for earlier invention. By 2022, more than 60 % of IoT applications will be health-related. The convergence of biomedical sensors, wireless body area networks (WBAN), Information technology, and bioinformatics will help improve the efficiency of saving human lives. In a WBAN, network longevity is challenging because of the limited supply of low power battery energy in tiny body sensor nodes. Here, we proposed an energy-efficient transmission power control (TPC) algorithmto extend the network lifetime in IoMT networks for healthcare applicationsby eliminating the transceiver overhearing problem. In TPC, human tissue resistivity properties are considered to adjust the transmission power, which reduces the communication power and extends the network lifetime. The simulation results show that network power consumption is reduced by 35%.

The Euler method is one of the oldest methods to solve differential equation problems. The Euler method produces the simplest solution. However, although is not computationally expensive, the Eulermethod is lack of accuracy. To improve the Euler method, the researcher proposed a new scheme for better accuracy. The Euler method equation and the mean method were combined to enhance this method. As the improvement basis, the researcher used the Centroidal mean and the midpoint method or Polygon to improve the Euler method. The combination of the Euler and Centroidal mean is known as Centroidal Polygon (CP) scheme. The CP scheme was used to solve first-order non-linear Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE). The researcher used SCILAB 6.0 software to solve the equation and the CP scheme was tested in three different step sizes (0.1,0.01, and 0.001). Aside from that, the researcher had compared the CP scheme with previous schemes such as ZulZamri's Polygon (P) scheme, Nurhafizah's Harmoni-Polygon (HP) scheme, and Nooraida's Cube-Polygon (CuP) scheme to ensure that the CP scheme is more accurate than previous research. When the maximum error is calculated by subtracting the scheme and exact solution, the results show that the CP scheme delivers the highest accuracy results in the shortest amount of time. The new enhanced, modified Euler method is useful for other researchers to achieve good accuracy at low computational cost as an alternative to the more computationally expensive methods.

Embedded memories were once utilized to transfer information between the CPU and the main memory. The cache storage in most traditional computers was static-random-access-memory (SRAM). Other memory technologies, such as embedded dynamic random-access memory (eDRAM) and spin-transfer-torque random-access memory (STT-RAM), have also been used to store cache data. The SRAM, on the other hand, has a low density and severe leakage issues, and the STT-RAM has high latency and energy consumption when writing. The gain-cell eDRAM (GC-eDRAM), which has a higher density, lower leakage, logic compatibility, and is appropriate for two-port operations, is an attractive option. To speed up data retrieval from the main memory, future processors will require larger and faster-embedded memories. Area overhead, power overhead, and speed performance are all issues with the existing architecture. A unique mixed-V T 3T GC-eDRAM architecture is suggested in this paper to improve data retention times (DRT) and performance for better energy efficiency in embedded memories. The GC-eDRAM is simulated using a standard complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) with a 130nm technology node transistor. The performance of a 2kbit mixed-VT 3T GC-eDRAM array were evaluated through corner process simulations. Each memory block is designed and simulated using Mentor Graphics Software. The array, which is based on the suggested bit-cell, has been successfully operated at 400MHz under a 1V supply and takes up almost 60-75% less space than 6T SRAM using the same technology. When compared to the existing 6T and 4T ULP SRAMs(others' work in K. Sharma et al.and A. Goyal et al.)the retention power of the proposed GC-eDRAM is around 80-90% lower.

Thegreen procurement (GP) for construction industry and its implementation requires government interventionparticularly through policies, initiatives, and incentives. GP is relatively a new concept especially in Malaysian construction industryand its implementation is stillambiguous even though GP is globally recognised. Hesitationin implementing GP among construction stakeholderisdue to lacking of familiarity, lack of available standard guidelinesand awareness among stakeholders. These are the challenges that hindered the adoption of GP among construction stakeholders in Malaysia. In construction industry, collaboration among construction stakeholder is fundamental towards construction projects’ success and also depending on the support from various stakeholders to meet the project objectives.Thus, this conceptual paper is intended to highlight the importance of collaborative approach and way forward with GP as a strategy to solve environmental problems. Specifically, it looksinto government’s intervention to promote, empower the understanding, creating awareness, and willingness of construction stakeholders to implement GP in construction projects. The preliminary framework is developed through literature review and questionnaire surveywereusedas the method to collect and analyze the findings. The paper concludesthat collaborative approach providesa better platform forall the parties,particularly the construction stakeholders to be better engaged, in terms of communication, well informed, more aware and willing to implement the GP throughout the construction process.

Strategic Foresight (SF) is required for an organisation in facing Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA) environment to maintain relevant in future. There are many studies on application of SF by organisations in preparing for the unexpected. Especially, the relationship between SF and dynamic capabilities (DC) of an organisation. Thus, this study developed a mediation model which comprises of five exogenous constructs namely environmental scanning (ES); scenario planning (SP); knowledge creation (KC); culture (CU) and formal organization (FO), one endogenous construct of dynamic capabilities and one mediator construct of organisational learning capability (OLC). The data use to develop the model was derived from 209 respondents that participated in the questionnaire survey. The respondents were selected using a purposive random sampling technique amongst individuals who involved in decision-maker position of UAE organizations. The model was evaluated at measurement and structural components to achieve the fitness criteria values. It was found that the model has achieved GoF value of 0.8423 which indicates high overall validatingpower. This means that the model is rated as a high-quality model. After achieving these fitness criteria, hypothesis testing was conducted through bootstrapping function of the software. It was found that only two out of five of the direct effect relationships are significant, which are knowledge creation and formal organisation have significant relationships with the dynamic capabilities of the organisations. For mediation/indirect effect, it was found that organisational learning capacity as the mediator has significant effects toward three relationships which are scenario planning with dynamic capabilities; culture with dynamic capabilities and formal organisation with dynamic capabilities.

The norm for pedagogical situations in the 21st century in education is digitization. After the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, the use of blended learning models (BLMs) at universities has become crucial. The use of teaching in the classroom, particularly in higher education, enhances student learning. In order to build effective teaching-learning, blended learning (BL) places learners in a new learning environment based on technology. The purpose of the current study is to figure out the viability of embracing a BL method in learning science course at the secondary school level. The current study project has been conducted using a quasi-experimental design. The University of Abuja’s Center for Distance Learning and Continuous Education recruited 120 undergraduate students for this study. The blended learning model success test (BMAT) and blended learning model retention test (BMRT) were the instruments used for data gathering. The experimental groups’ students were instructed using BL methods for eight weeks. The three tests, including the pre-test, post-test I, and post-test II, were given to six groups. Statistical package for social science version 26 was utilized to assess the hypotheses and provide response to the research questions with mean score, standard variation, and error, while the inferential statistics utilized related samples t-test at level of significant of 0.05. Results showed a significant difference between the mean pre- and post-test achievement and retention capacity of students who were receiving science instruction through BL. The study concluded that learners’ achievement and retention in science are significantly improved by BLMs. It is recommended that BL approaches be utilized for teaching the sciences because they improve the learner’s retention and academic performance.
News/Entertainment Social Media Engagement and Social Media Health Literacy: Effects on Mental Health and Coping During COVID-19 Lockdown
Authors: Anter Alyaa
Published: November 2022

This study examined the effects of news engagement (NE) vs. entertainment engagement (EE), and of social media health literacy (SMHL) on mental health and coping during the first COVID-19 lockdown. Further, it investigated the moderating effect of SMHL between NE, EE, mental health, and coping relations. The study is drawing on mood management theory and stress- coping theory and is based on a cross-sectional online survey of 478 participants aged 18 years and older. Moderated multiple regression and path analyses were used; the results indicated that both NE and EE predicted a significant increase in anxiety and depression and increased the participants’ online and offline coping. While SMHL predicted a substantial decrease in anxiety and depression, with an increase in online and offline coping. SMHL significantly moderated (weakened) the relations between NE and both anxiety and depression. Online coping significantly mediated the relations between both NE and EE and offline coping. This study proposes that EE has less effect on anxiety and depression than NE does. Findings support that online coping is an important factor in understanding the relationship between genre-specific social media engagement and offline coping in health crises. SMHL is a crucial moderator for managing the effects of NE on mental health. The study recommends algorithmic awareness as an item of SMHL and rationalization of social media use as a crucial coping mechanism.
