By Choice and by Necessity: Endogenous Design in the Time of Pandemic
Authors: Boym Constantin
Published: May 2022

The paper is devoted to Boym Park, an environmental project in Esopus, NY, in the Hudson Valley. The project was conceived, designed, and constructed during the author’s eighteen-month-long isolation due to the global pandemic. The park is viewed as a case study of an endogenous project which, due to special circumstances, had to rely exclusively on local materials, production methods, and self-reliant construction technology. The bond with nature, experienced during every phase of this project, illuminates possibilities of healing, therapeutic qualities of endogenous slow design that provides a direct connection with the land and with local economy. Lessons learned throughout the process could be useful for a variety of design applications beyond the confines of a small private setting.

The Delphi Method as a Morphological Catalyst for Foresight-Oriented Design Research
Authors: Essam Khamis Noha
Published: May 2022

Anticipating expository concepts could be complex in the field of innovation management. Designers confront methodological challenges when they lock into a future framework with rapidly changing variables. The system’s users, for starters, do not yet exist. Second, ongoing changes in critical components and their interconnections make it hard to conceptualise relationships and offer synthesizable data. There is a lack of evidence in the rational core for generating forecasts. The Delphi method and morphological analysis are both well-established methods in strategic foresight. This paper suggests that using a morphology-based Delphi approach that employs a mix of the Delphi Method and Morphological Analysis to forecast future results in creative, complicated enterprises is beneficial. Furthermore, one tool compensates for the theoretical and functional shortcomings of the other by showing transparent, value-based arguments in an iterative, customizable manner. This documentary study has adopted a comparative study-based methodology that compares morphological Delphi in the context of future-oriented design to related fields in terms of procedural and theoretical parallels and differences. The results demonstrate morphological Delphi techniques through different scales of studies to provide a learning experience that is based on research, application and interaction which can be employed in future context design.

Heart Rate Recovery as an Assessment of Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Young Adults
Authors: Thomas J. Matthew , Black W. Scott , Kern Philip A. , Pendergast Julie S. , Clasey Jody L.
Published: May 2022

Background

Cardiorespiratory fitness, typically measured as peak oxygen uptake (V̇o2peak) during maximal graded exercise testing (GXTmax), is a predictor of morbidity, mortality, and cardiovascular disease. However, measuring V̇o2peak is costly and inconvenient and thus not widely used in clinical settings. Alternatively, postexercise heart rate recovery (HRRec), which is an index of vagal reactivation, is a valuable assessment of V̇o2peak in older adults and athletes. However, the validity of HRRec as a clinical indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness in young, sedentary adults, who are a rapidly growing population at risk for developing obesity and cardiovascular disease, has not been fully elucidated.

Methods

We investigated the association between cardiorespiratory fitness, measured by V̇o2peak (mL·kg−1·min−1), and HRRec measures after a GXTmax in 61 young (25.2 ± 6.1 years), sedentary adults (40 females) using 3 methods. We examined the relationship between V̇o2peak and absolute (b.min−1) and relative (%) HRRec measures at 1, 2, and 3 min post GXTmax, as well as a measure of the slow component HRRec (HRRec 1 min minus HRR 2 min), using Pearson's correlation analysis.

Results

V̇o2peak (36.5 ± 7.9 mL·kg−1·min−1) was not significantly correlated with absolute HRRec at 1 min (r = 0.18), 2 mins (r = 0.04), or 3 min (r = 0.01). We also found no significant correlations between V̇o2peak and relative HRRec at 1 min (r = 0.09), 2 min (r = −0.06), or 3 min (r = −0.10). Lastly, we found no correlation between the measure of the slow component HRRec and V̇o2peak (r = −0.14).

Conclusion

Our results indicate that HRRec measures are not a valid indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness in young, sedentary adults.

Development of stigma-related support for autistic adults: insights from the autism community
Authors: Han Emeline , Scior Katrina , Heath Eric Loveland , Umagami Kana , Crane Laura
Published: May 2022

Many autistic adults experience public stigma, which may be internalised and lead to self-stigma. While efforts to reduce public stigma are paramount, change can be slow, and interventions to prevent self-stigma may also be needed. Using a mixed methods online survey, we gathered the views of 144 autistic adults and parents/caregivers of autistic people in the UK on whether a stigma-related support programme for autistic adults is needed and, if so, what it should ‘look’ like. Quantitative data showed that most participants felt it was important for autistic adults to have support in managing stigma and revealed diverse preferences in terms of programme delivery, underscoring the need for flexibility. Four main themes were identified in the qualitative data: (1) ‘We need to change society not autistic people’; (2) ‘Stigma is difficult to manage alone’; (3) ‘Focus on positive, practical support’; and (4) ‘There is no one size fits all approach’. Our findings suggest that it may be worthwhile to pursue interventions that focus on empowerment, self-acceptance, and disclosure strategies, but also point to areas of concern and potential barriers that will need careful consideration in order for stigma-related support to be acceptable and accessible to autistic adults.

“Tinjauan Teologis Gelar Yesus sebagai Logos Menurut Injil Yohanes 1”
Authors: Parung Pince
Published: May 2022

Abstract: This study tries to answer the theological concept of the title logos for Jesus according to the gospel of John 1 with theological approach. Where Jesus is given the title by the Gospel of John with the word logos. Jesus as the Logos (Word), is a person who existed from the beginning with God who united all of God's work of salvation among humans, the history of Israel and until He was incarnated into flesh and lived together with humans but He still had His divine nature. equal to God. In fact, Jesus is God's word and message to mankind. As the Logos of God, He was with God in the beginning and is God Himself. The Logos described or described by John was not simply rooted in Greek philosophical thought. However, John describes this Logos based on a concept that comes from the Old Testament as well. The concept of Logos used by John which refers to Jesus is different from the concept of logos in Greek philosophical thought. In the introduction to the book of John, using the title logos for Jesus evokes the view that Jesus was not only human but also God.
Temporal dynamics of the semantic versus affective representations of valence during reversal learning
Authors: Heimer Orit , kron assaf , Hertz Uri
Published: May 2022

Valence (/value), the representation of a stimulus in terms of good or bad, plays a central role in models of affect, value-based learning theories, and value-based decision-making models. Previous work used Unconditioned Stimulus (US) to support a theoretical division between two different types of valence representations for a stimulus: the semantic representation of valence, i.e., stored accumulated knowledge about the value of the stimulus, and the affective representation of valence, i.e., the valence of the affective response to this stimulus. The current work extended past research by using a neutral Conditioned Stimulus (CS) in the context of reversal learning, a type of associative learning. The impact of expected uncertainty (the variability of rewards) and unexpected uncertainty (reversal) on the evolving temporal dynamics of the two types of valence representations of the CS was tested in two experiments. Results show that in an environment presenting the two types of uncertainty, the adaptation process (learning rate) of the choices and of the semantic valence is slower than the adaptation of the affective valence. In contrast, in environments with only unexpected uncertainty (i.e., fixed rewards), there is no difference in the temporal dynamics of the two types of valence. Implications for models of affect, value-based learning theories, and value-based decision-making models are discussed.
Probabilistic Assessment of Antarctic Thermomechanical Structure: Impacts on Ice Sheet Stability
Authors: Hazzard James , Richards Fred , Goes Saskia , Roberts Gareth
Published: May 2022

Uncertainty in present-day glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) rates represents at least 44% of the total gravity-based ice mass balance signal over Antarctica. Meanwhile, physical couplings between solid Earth, sea level and ice dynamics enhance the dependency of the spatiotemporally varying GIA signal on three-dimensional variations in mantle rheology. Improved knowledge of thermomechanical mantle structure is therefore required to refine estimates of current and projected ice mass balance. Here, we present a Bayesian inverse method for self-consistently mapping shear-wave velocities from high-resolution adjoint tomography into thermomechanical structure using calibrated parameterisations of anelasticity at seismic frequency. We constrain the model using regional geophysical data sets containing information on upper mantle temperature, attenuation and viscosity structure. Our treatment allows formal quantification of parameter covariances, and naturally permits propagation of material parameter uncertainties into thermomechanical structure estimates. We find that uncertainty in steady-state viscosity structure at 150 km depth can be reduced by 4-5 orders of magnitude compared with a forward-modelling approach neglecting covariance between viscoelastic parameters. By accounting for the dependence of viscosity on loading timescale, we find good agreement between our estimates of mantle viscosity beneath West Antarctica, and those derived from satellite GPS. Direct access to temperature structure allows us to estimate lateral variations in lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) depth, geothermal heat flow (GHF), and associated uncertainties. We find evidence for shallow LAB depths (63 ± 13 km), and high GHF (76 ± 7 mW m^-2) beneath West Antarctica, suggesting a highly dynamic response to ice mass loss.
Deep Compressed Seismic Learning for fast location and moment tensor inferences with natural and induced seismicity
Authors: Vera Rodriguez Ismael , Myklebust Erik
Published: May 2022

Fast detection and characterization of seismic sources is crucial for decision-making and warning systems that monitor natural and induced seismicity. However, besides the laying out of ever denser monitoring networks of seismic instruments, the incorporation of new sensor technologies such as Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) further challenges our processing capabilities to deliver short turnaround answers from seismic monitoring. In response, this work describes a methodology for the learning of the seismological parameters: location and moment tensor from compressed seismic records. In this method, data dimensionality is reduced by applying a general encoding protocol derived from the principles of compressive sensing. The data in compressed form is then fed directly to a convolutional neural network that outputs fast predictions of the seismic source parameters. Thus, the proposed methodology can not only expedite data transmission from the field to the processing center, but also remove the decompression overhead that would be required for the application of traditional processing methods. An autoencoder is also explored as an equivalent alternative to perform the same job. We observe that the CS-based compression requires only a fraction of the computing power, time, data and expertise required to design and train an autoencoder to perform the same task. Implementation of the CS-method with a continuous flow of data together with generalization of the principles to other applications such as classification are also discussed.
Guided pretend play intervention effects on self-regulation and language skills in preschool English Language Learners from families with low incomes
Authors: Paes Tanya Maria , Ellefson Michelle Renee
Published: May 2022

The study examines the efficacy of a guided pretend play intervention on the self-regulation and language skills of children from families with low incomes who are English Language Learners (Mage = 63.54 months, SDage = 3.7 months). Data on ethnicity were not collected. The sample (N = 151, 77 boys) was randomized into two groups: (a) Pretend play; (b) Art activities. The 30-minute intervention included 16 sessions based on shared storybook reading and role-playing with props. During storybook reading explicit phonological awareness and vocabulary instruction were provided for the target words. The findings showed that children in the intervention group had significantly higher post-test phonological awareness scores than children in the typical curriculum group (β = -21.95, p = .001).
Vertical anisotropy in lightness perception not caused by lighting assumption
Authors: Kobayashi Yuki , Morikawa Kazunori
Published: May 2022

Our recent study found an illusory effect whereby an image of an upward-facing gray panel appears darker than its 180-degree rotated image. We attributed this inversion effect to the observer’s implicit assumption that light from above is more intense than light from below. This paper aims to explore the possibility that low-level visual anisotropy also contributes to the effect. In Experiment 1, we investigated whether the effect could be observed even when the position, the contrast polarity, and the existence of the edge were manipulated. In Experiments 2 and 3, the effect was further examined using stimuli that contained no depth cues. Experiment 4 confirmed the effect using stimuli of even simpler configuration. The results of all the experiments demonstrated that brighter edges on the upper side of the target make it appear lighter, indicating that low-level anisotropy contributes to the inversion effect, even without depth orientation information. However, darker edges on the upper side of the target produced ambiguous results. We speculate that the perceived lightness of the target might be affected by two kinds of vertical anisotropy, one of which is dependent on contrast polarity while the other is independent of it. Moreover, the results also replicated the previous finding that the lighting assumption contributes to perceived lightness. Overall, the present study demonstrates that both low-level vertical anisotropy and mid-level lighting assumption influence lightness.

Published: May 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic drastically increased food insecurity among U.S. households, however, little is known about how infants, who rely primarily on human milk and/or infant formula, were impacted. We conducted an online survey with U.S. caregivers of infants (<2 years) (N=319) to assess how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted breastfeeding, formula-feeding, and household ability to obtain infant-feeding supplies and lactation support (68% mothers; 66% white; 8% living in poverty). Results suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic had a greater negative impact on formula-feeding families, largely due to formula shortages and financial strain. We found 31% of formula-feeding families indicated they experienced various challenges to obtaining formula, citing the following top three reasons: formula was sold out (20%), had to travel to multiple stores (21%), or too expensive (8%). In response, 33% of formula-feeding families reported resorting to potentially harmful feeding practices such as diluting formula with extra water (12%) or cereal (10%), preparing smaller bottles (8%), or feeding left-over/expired formula (11%). Only 15% of breastfeeding families reported feeding difficulties directly as a result of the pandemic—15% were reluctant to obtain lactation support and 9% weaned early. In fact, 51% of breastfeeding families reported increased provision of human milk to infants due to perceived benefits for the infant’s immune system (37%), ability to work remotely/stay home (31%), or concerns about money (8%) or formula shortages (8%). To protect infants from malnutrition in future crises, our results underscore the need for policies to support breastfeeding families and ensure equitable access to infant formula.
Effects of different delivery modes on teaching biomedical science practical skills in higher education during the 2021 pandemic measures.

Published: May 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic related measures had augmented the rise of online education. While online teaching has mitigated the negative impacts from educational institutional closures, it was unable to displace hands-on biomedical laboratory practical lessons effectively. Without practical sessions, there was concern over the imparting of laboratory skills even with video demonstrations. To investigate the effectiveness of different delivery modes in imparting laboratory skills, theoretical and practical student assessments were analyzed alongside an anonymous survey on their motivation and prior experience. The undergraduate students were exposed to 1) instructor-live demonstration, 2) video demonstration or 3) no demonstration prior to the practical test which was a plasmid extraction. Significantly higher mini-prep yields and purity were found for both instructor-live and video demonstrations compared to no demonstration. Comparison with pre-pandemic theoretical assessment performance showed no significant differences despite longer contact hours during pre-pandemic times. Prior lab experience and motivation for selecting the course did not significantly affect student mini-prep yields. In conclusion, our findings suggest that video demonstrations were as effective as instructor-live demonstrations during the pandemic without noticeably compromising the teaching and learning of biomedical laboratory skills.
Constitutional Reform and its Impact on TVET Governance in Nepal
Authors: Renold Ursula , Caves Katherine , Bolli Thomas
Published: May 2022

This paper analyses the challenges of the constitutional reform in Nepal and its impact on the governance of technical and vocational education and training (TVET). Thereby, the paper suggests five crucial recommendations. First, establish an Inter-Governmental TVET Council/Coordination committee, a high-level body with representatives of all three government levels. Second, describe the key TVET processes in a Master Plan that allocates tasks and processes to the appropriate level and supports a consistent federalisation process. Third, the high-level committee must address the remaining unclear normative issues in a TVET Policy for 2030 with goals and a vision for the sector. This should include allocating responsibilities to formal and non-formal education, defining what Nepal means by "good governance", defining the TVET programme approach, allocating detailed tasks to all three government levels and defining specific objectives for the TVET sector. Fourth, develop a TVET Act as quickly as possible. This is particularly important because the seven provinces depend on a national TVET legal framework to develop their own laws. Fifth, conduct a comprehensive TVET financial flows analysis to reconcile TVET funding sources and expenditures.
Ensuring Quality Assurance in Technical and Vocational Education and Training
Authors: Bhatta Kushmakar
Published: May 2022

Recent digital revolution is rapidly transforming the world of work and the skills profiles of many occupations. Major forces driving changes in the world of work include globalization, rapid advances in information and communications technology, changes in financial markets, new business strategies, new management practices and new forms of work. The uncertainty emerging from the fast changing environment, technological development has increased ethical and social responsibility. TVET was often a second choice of the students and was disregarded as a significant player in academic orientation in some years back. Now, that statement has been slowly discarded since awareness increased and through quality in education it is proved that TVET are the best providers of knowledgeable and skilled workers in the 21st century. Quality assurance in TVET is a concept that is concerned with high performance in entire academic process involving activities such as teaching, learning, infrastructure, students’ behavior and so on. The TEVT sector and its policy makers respond rapidly to the changing scenario. Good quality education is very necessary in the total development of the student, which ensures proper development, job prospects and the realization of academic goals and objectives. There are varied factors working against the realization of quality TVET. Practical partnerships between public and private actors will have an increasingly important role to play in the delivery of TVET programs so that the fresh TVET graduates have to be world class and the education quality has to maintain of global standards. This paper outlines and discusses the relevancy and quality assurance need in TEVT to meet the requirements in the coming future.
School Production Unit: A Production-based Learning Model in the Context of TVET Polytechnic Institutions
Authors: Thapa Harish Singh
Published: May 2022

School-based production unit is a part a school practice area where material and human inputs could be combined for the creation of goods or provision of services. It is one of the important categories of work-based learning among cooperative work, field trips, internship and youth apprenticeship. Production-based learning model is a set of procedures that need to be adopted by the instructor to facilitate students to learn actively, interactively and in a participatory way, so as to produce either goods or services needed by society. This model can facilitate students in preparing to enter the world of work and gain competence as well as the entrepreneurial spirit. School-based production unit promotes work-based learning, increases the relevance of the curriculum, promote academic achievement and employability skill. It enhances entrepreneur sprit of learners, helps in income boost, increases the cooperation/collaboration ability with society and market likewise improves learning motivation, creativity and attitudes. Management of seed capital, human resources, modalities of operation and benefit sharing among stakeholders from income of products or services are major issues of production units. These issues should address before the planning of production.
TVET Reform in Federal Republic Nepal
Authors: Lamsal Hari Prasad
Published: May 2022

The Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) includes two components - education and training that offers both academic and skill development. However, there is no uniform understanding among the countries on what these aspects should entail and variations can also be observed in governance and management. The Constitution of Nepal 2015 has demanded a complete restructuring of the country’s governance, including the reform of the education and TVET sector.

This paper aims to shed light on the status of TVET in Nepal in the federal context and explores the management structures for the country to move forward in the changed context. Reviewing international practice, proposals are made with regard to the restructuring of the TVET. It suggests Nepali education system adopted a two-pronged strategy to facilitate the required reform in TVET sector and setup: a) reforms in existing programs and, b) structural changes.
Three-particle scattering amplitudes from lattice QCD
Authors: Romero-Lopez Fernando
Published: May 2022

Lattice QCD already offers the possibility of extracting three-hadron scattering quantities from first principles. In the last few years, significant progress has been achieved in developing and applying the finite-volume three-body formalism. The formalism is now able to treat physically relevant systems of three mesons, including those with resonances, as well as three-body decays. In this talk, I will review the state of the art, and comment on recent applications to lattice QCD data for systems of three pions and kaons.
A new theoretical determination of Rτ /P (P = π, K)
Authors: Rosell Ignasi
Published: May 2022

We have determined Rτ/P ≡ Γ(τ → P ντ [γ])/Γ(P → µνµ[γ]) (P = π, K). Whereas P decays are calculated by using Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), τ decays have been studied with an effective approach where ChPT is enlarged by including the lightest resonances and following the high-energy behavior dictated by QCD. These ratios have allowed us to test the lepton universality and the CKM unitarity and also to search for bounds on non-standard interactions. Our results, δRτ/π = (0.18±0.57)% and δRτ/K = (0.97±0.58)%, are consistent with the previous theoretical determinations, but with much more robust assumptions, yielding a reliable uncertainty.
Searches for baryon and lepton number Violations at BESIII
Authors: Li Huijing
Published: May 2022

Based on the data samples of (1310.6 ± 7.0) × 106 J/ψ events at the center-of-mass energy of √ s = 3.097 GeV and 2.93 fb−1 at √ s = 3.773 GeV, BESIII has searched for baryon number violation (BNV) and lepton number violation (LNV) processes in J/ψ, Σ −, and D decays, respectively. No signal events are observed, and the corresponding upper limits on the branching fraction are determined. The Λ-Λ¯ oscillation is also investigated in J/ψ decays, and the upper limits on the oscillation rate and oscillation parameter are extracted.

We discuss the exclusive production of axial-vector f1(1285) meson via the vector-vector fusion mechanism at energies relevant for the HADES and PANDA experiments at FAIR. Total and differential cross sections are given. The possibility of a measurement by HADES at √ s = 3.46 GeV is presented and discussed. The decay channel f1 → π +π −η(→ π +π −π 0 ) seems particularly promising for this purpose.
Transversity and Λ polarization in semi-inclusive DIS
Authors: Moretti Andrea
Published: May 2022

Several possible experimental channels have been proposed in the past to access the chiral-odd transversity distribution functions h1. Among these, the measurements of target-transverse-spin asymmetries in single-hadron and hadron-pair production in Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) gave clear evidence that transversity is measurable and sizable in the valence region. A third, independent channel is the measurement of the polarization of Λ hyperons produced in SIDIS off transversely polarized nucleons, where the transverse polarization of the struck quark might be transferred to the final-state hyperon. The COMPASS Collaboration at CERN has measured the transversityinduced polarization of Λ and Λ¯ hyperons produced in SIDIS off transversely polarized protons, found compatible with zero. The results are shown here and discussed in the context of different models and approximations

The kaonic deuterium 2p→1s transition X-ray measurement, a fundamental information needed for a deeper understanding of the Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD) in the strangeness sector, is still missing. The SIDDHARTA-2 collaboration is now ready to achieve this unprecedented result thanks to the dedicated experimental apparatus that will allow to obtain the values of the kaonic deuterium K-transitions with a precision comparable to the most precise kaonic hydrogen measurement to-date performed by SIDDHARTA in 2009. Both the kaonic hydrogen and kaonic deuterium X-ray spectroscopy measurements of the de-excitation towards the fundamental level are a direct probe on KN interaction at threshold, as opposed to the scattering experiments which need an extrapolation to zero energy. Combining these results through the Deser-Truemann like formula, the isospin-dependent kaon-nucleon scattering lengths can be obtained in a model-independent way. The SIDDHARTA-2 setup is presently installed at the DAΦNE (Double Annular Φ Factory for Nice Experiments) collider of Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare – Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati and it is ready to perform the challening kaonic deuterium measurement. Thispaper provides an overview on the SIDDHARTA-2 experimental apparatus and a preliminary result of the kaonic helium run, preparatory for the SIDDHARTA-2 data taking campaign, is also presented.

The analysis of morphometric variability of the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) was carried out based on 350 skulls from geographically distant localities throughout the distribution range of this species, including China, Japan, and India. Our study revealed minor craniometric variability in L. lutra, which increases in tropical regions, and also symmetrical change of size and proportions of the skulls in the eastern and western parts of the Northern Eurasia as well as the change of the latitudinal trend in the skull variation approximately between 50 and 55° N. The correlation between the value of the morphological diversity and climatic variables is demonstrated. The Caucasian otter (L. l. meridionalis) shows significant similarity with otters from Europe (L. l. lutra). On the contrary, otters occurring in Honshu Island (L. l. nippon) are well differentiated morphologically from the continental populations. The results of our analysis suggest that L. simplicidens from the Middle Pleistocene of Europe probably represents a fossil subspecies of the Eurasian otter, L. lutra. The hypotheses are formulated about influence of ecological conditions on the the value of the parameters of morphological diversity as well as on the intensity of sexual dimorphism in the L. lutra. The results of our study siggest the higher level of genetic diversity of the Eurasian otter in the eastern part of the Northern Eurasia in comparison with the western part of its distribution range.
Peculiarities of morphometric variability of white-fish Coregonus lavaretus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Actinopterygii: Coregonidae) of Sevan Lake
Authors: Pipoyan S.Kh. , Kirakosyan L.A. , Tuniyev S.B.
Published: May 2022

On the basis of the morphometric analysis of the variability of the white-fish Coregonus lavaretus of Sevan Lake, it was revealed that a comparatively homogeneous population of this fish has been formed there by the beginning of the XXI century. It is suggested that the unstable hydroecological regime of the lake and the anthropogenic pressing on the population of the white-fish can influence on the formation of new morphological and ecological features of this fish in the future. At the same time, taking into account the evolutionary youth of the white-fish of Sevan Lake and incompleteness of the processes of its formation, it is suggested to consider this fish as an ecological form of Coregonus lavaretus without certain taxonomic status.

Covid-19 is a category B type infection, but it has created a serious threat across the globe because the pandemic spread more quickly than any other in history. Before the spring festival, the epidemic in China just begun. Different measures, including mobilization of health care workers, building new hospitals and imposing the lockdown, were undertaken to minimize the spread. In South Korea, the measures were implemented under strong and coordinated government leadership. The developing countries, including India and Iran, have taken the steps like travel limitations, specified hospitals, testing laboratories, quarantine facilities, awareness campaigns and lockdown, which aided a great deal in taking the flooding tide of diseases back to a controllable level. Also, educational institutions, industrial establishments and hospitality services for other patients were suspended for the sake of critically ill Covid-19 patients.

Структурно-біомеханічні властивості довгих кісток кінцівок в ряду наземних хребетних : автореферат дисертації на здобуття наукового ступеня кандидата біологічних наук

Published: May 2022

Дисертація присвячена вивченню зв’язку структурно-біомеханічних властивостей довгих кісток кінцівок з орієнтацією кінцівок і типом локомоції. Досліджено ряд характеристик довгих кісток кінцівок 41 виду хребетних з чотирьох класів. Орієнтація кінцівок, маса тіла і характер локомоції визначають характер механічних навантажень і їх розподіл на окремі ланки кінцівок. Форма поперечного перерізу діафіза кістки разом з обчисленими на її основі характеристиками дозволяє визначити загальний характер навантажень, до протидії яким пристосована кістка. Встановлено, що при сегментальній орієнтації кінцівок на їх скелет діють переважно навантаження на кручення. При цьому найбільш суттєво вони впливають на елементи стилоподію, де біомеханічні показники зростають відносно більш інтенсивно при збільшенні маси тіла. При парасагітальній орієнтації тип навантажень більш суттєво впливає таким же чином на кістки зейгоподію. У тварин з біпедальною локомоцією (птахів) ці показники зростають інтенсивно в усіх елементах тазової кінцівки. Підвищення біомеханічних показників відбувається за рахунок відносного збільшення кількості компактної кісткової речовини і її більш раціонального розподілу в стінках діафіза.Парасагітальна орієнтація кінцівок сприяє збільшенню потенційних можливостей до розширення функцій кінцівок і освоєння нових форм локомоції.
Variability of Structural and Biomechanical Prameters of Pelophylax esculentus (Amphibia, Anura) Limb Bones
Authors: Брошко Євгеній Олегович
Published: May 2022

Structural and biomechanical parameters of Edible Frog, Pelophylax esculentus (Linnaeus, 1758), limb bones, namely, mass, linear dimensions, parameters of the shaft ’s cross-sectional shape (cross-sectional area, moments of inertia, radiuses of inertia) were investigated. Some coeffi cients were also estimated: diameters ratio (df/ds), cross-sectional index (ik), principal moments of inertia ratio (Imax/Imin). Coeffi cients of variation of linear dimensions (11.9–20.0 %) and relative bone mass (22–35 %) were established. Moments of inertia of various bones are more variable (CV = 41.67–56.35 %) in relation to radii of inertia (CV = 9.68–14.67 %). Shaft ’s cross-sectional shape is invariable in all cases. However, there is high individual variability of structural and biomechanical parameters of P. esculentus limb bones. Variability of parameters was limited by the certain range.We suggest the presence of stable norm in bone structure. Stylopodium bones have the primary biomechanical function among the elements of limb skeleton, because their parameters most clearly responsiveto changes in body mass.

Published: May 2022

The article presents the results of large-scale studies of the content and distribution of natural and man-made radionuclides in the sediments of the rivers flowing into the Dnieper-Bug estuary. The article also presents the results of the granulometric analysis of the surveyed water bodies. The data about natural radioactive elements in the sediments rivers flowing into the Dnieper-Bug estuary obtained in this research are demonstrated moderate specific activity, which, however, clearly correlates with the granulometric composition of sediments. The 137Cs determined by us is contained in the sediments of all studied water bodies and the places of it greatest concentration coincide with the areas in which the sediment is represented mainly by the pelitic fraction. The data obtained in this research can serve as a baseline data in natural radionuclides concentration in sediments rivers flowing into the Dnieper-Bug estuary. The obtained data can also be used for further monitoring of the specific activity of man-made radionuclides, in particular 137Cs.
