Poyang Lake Wetland Classification Using Time-Series ENVISAT ASAR Data and Beijing-1 Imagery
Authors: Ding Fang , Wang Lin , Dronova Iryna , Cao Kun
Published: October 2022

Beijing-1 and ENVISAT ASAR images were used to classify wetland aquatic macrophytes in terms of their plant functional types (PFTs) over the Poyang Lake region, China. Speckle noise filtering, systematic sensor calibration within the same polarization or between different polarizations, and accurate geo-registration were applied to the time-series SAR data. As a result, time-series backscattering data, which is described as permittivity curves in this paper, were obtained. In addition, time-series indices, described as phenological curves, were derived from Beijing-1 time-series images in the classification experiment. Based on these two curves, a rule-based classification strategy was developed to extract wetland information from the combined SAR and optical data. In the rule-based wetland classification method, DEM data, submersion time index, temporal Beijing-1 images, time-series normalized difference vegetation index (TSNDVI) images, principal component analysis (PCA), and temporal ratio of ASAR time-series images were used. In addition, a decision tree-based method was used to map the wetlands. Conclusions include the following: (1) after the preprocessing of ASAR data, it was possible to satisfactorily separate different aquatic plant functional types; (2) hydrophytes from different PFTs exhibited distinct phenological, structural, moisture, and roughness characteristics due to the impact of the annual inundation of Poyang Lake wetland; and (3) more accurate results were obtained with the rule-based method than the decision tree (DT) method. Producer’s and user’s accuracy calculated from test samples in the classification results indicate that the DT method can potentially be used for mapping aquatic PFTs, with overall producer’s accuracy exceeding 80% and higher user’s accuracy for aquatic bed wetland PFTs. A comparison of producer’s and user’s accuracy from the rule-based classification increased from 3 to 12% and 7 to 26%, respectively, for different aquatic PFTs.
A Multi-Model Multi-Scale Approach to Estimate the Impact of the 2007 Large-Scale Forest Fires in Peloponnese, Greece
Authors: Batelis Stamatis C. , Nalbantis Ioannis
Published: October 2022

The hydrological impact of large-scale forest fires in a large basin is investigated on both a daily and an hourly basis. A basin of 877 km2 was chosen, with 37% of its area having been burnt in the summer of 2007. Five models are employed, namely SWAT (semi-distributed), GR4J, GR5J, and GR6J (lumped) for the daily time step, and HEC-HMS (semi-distributed) for the hourly time step. As SWAT and HEC-HMS implement the SCS-CN method, the change in the Curve Number (CN) from pre-fire to post-fire conditions is estimated along with the post-fire trend of CN for both time steps. Regarding the daily time step, a 20% post-fire increase in CN proved necessary for the accurate streamflow prediction, whereas ignoring this led to an underestimation of 22% on average. On an hourly time basis, CN was 95 for burnt areas after the fire, with a mildly decreasing trend after the third year and still above 90 until the fifth year. When neglecting this, peak flow is seriously underestimated (35–70%). The post-fire trend lines of CN for the two-time steps showed statistically equal slopes. Finally, GR models accurately predicted runoff while constraining one model parameter, which proved useful for the realistic prediction of other variables.

Published: October 2022

Shewanella sp. strain F1, isolated from a lab-scale Fe(II)−dependent anaerobic denitrifying reactor, could reduce nitrate by oxidizing Fe(II). Its nitrate reduction rate and Fe(II) oxidation rate were 0.48 mg/(L·h) and 5.05 mg/(L·h) at OD600 of 0.4786 with a five-fold diluent. Shewanella sp. was popular in Fe(III) reduction. Fewer studies about its ability for Fe(II) oxidation are available. The low pH was determined to be the switch for Shewanella sp. strain F1 to perform Fe(III) reduction or Fe(II) oxidation. Even under a low pH, the produced Fe(III) precipitated around cells from iron encrustation. By observation of the morphologies of strain F1, two corresponding microbial mechanisms were proposed. One was named Cyc 2−based Fe(II)-dependent denitrification, in which Fe(II) was oxidized by Cyc 2 in the outer cell membrane, and the produced Fe(III) precipitated on the cell wall surface to form tiled iron encrustation. The other was named Cyc 1−based Fe(II)−dependent denitrification, in which Fe(II) was oxidized on the existing iron precipitation on the cell wall surface to form towery iron encrustation, and the electron was transported to Cyc 1 in the periplasm. The efficiency determination and mechanism investigation of strain F1 will promote the development of autotrophic denitrification technology and meet the requirement of a low−carbon policy.

Published: October 2022

During accelerated urbanization, the lack of attention to environmental protection and governance led to the formation of black-odor water. The existence of urban black-odor water not only affects the cityscape, but also threatens human health and damages urban ecosystems. The black-odor water bodies are small and hidden, so they require large-scale and high-resolution monitoring which offers a temporal and spatial variation of water quality frequently, and the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a multispectral instrument is up to the monitoring task. In this paper, the Nemerow comprehensive pollution index (NCPI) was introduced to assess the pollution degree of black-odor water in order to avoid inaccurate identification based on a single water parameter. Based on the UAV-borne multispectral data and NCPI of sampling points, regression models for inverting the parameter indicative of water quality were established using three artificial intelligence algorithms, namely extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), random forest (RF), and support vector regression (SVR). The result shows that NCPI is qualified to evaluate the pollution level of black-odor water. The XGBoost regression (XGBR) model has the highest fitting accuracy on the training dataset (R2 = 0.99) and test dataset (R2 = 0.94), and it achieved the best retrieval effect on image inversion in the shortest time, which made it the best-fit model compared with the RF regression (RFR) model and the SVR model. According to inversion results based on the XGBR model, there was only a small size of mild black-odor water in the study area, which showed the achievement of water pollution treatment in Guangzhou. The research provides a theoretical framework and technical feasibility for the application of the combination of algorithms and UAV-borne multispectral images in the field of water quality inversion.

Published: October 2022

Typhoon Morakot had a serious impact on Taiwan, especially the uncommon type of landslide called large-scale landslide (LSL), not many in number but serious in effect, the origin of which the study induced. To establish a specific relationship between LSL and triggering rainfall for future applications of LSL early warning predictions, relevant cases from satellite imagery, along with field investigation data, major event reports, and seismic data from 2004 to 2016, were collected. All collected cases are distributed around the mountainous area in Taiwan, and a total of 107 cases which were mainly distributed in the southern part of the mountainous area were finally selected, including 28 occurrence-time-known cases and 79 occurrence-time-unknown cases. In addition, 149 potential areas identified by the Soil and Water Conservation Bureau (SWCB) were used for improving bounding estimates. Based on the concept of safety factor, two dimensionless quantities, rainfall/landslide depth (R/D) and friction angle/slope (ϕ/θ), were analyzed by linear regression. In addition, D was assumed to be nonlinearly dependent on R, θ, and ϕ, and the parameter uncertainties were evaluated by the resampling with bootstrap method. Based on the currently obtained data, there were 8% Type-I errors in the results of the linear regression analysis, and 1% Type-II errors in the results of the nonlinear regression analysis. Through the comparison of statistical indicators, the results of nonlinear regression analysis have a better correlation trend. Based on the needs of early warning operations, more conservative indicators can reduce the risks faced by management operations. Therefore, according to the results of this study, the lower boundary values from nonlinear analysis could be used as the LSL early warning management settings. Incorporated with real-time rainfall forecasts, the variation of statistical indicators will provide the trend information dynamically, and will help to increase the response time for relevant evacuation operations, that will be welcome for the further extended applications to guide the evacuation operations of early warning systems.

Authors: Palma Tânia , Valentine Julia , Gomes Vera , Faleiro Maria , Costa Maria
Published: October 2022

The emerging pollutants paracetamol, fluoxetine and ethinylestradiol are inefficiently removed by conventional wastewater treatments, entering in aquatic environments in which they are hazardous. Aiming for the obtention of bacteria with the capacity for environmental bioremediation, eight bacteria were isolated from two consortia recovered from Hymedesmia versicolor and Filograna implexa marine organisms which exhibited a high-paracetamol-removal capacity. The isolates that displayed the ability to grow in the presence of 100 mg/L paracetamol as the sole carbon source were assigned to Paenibacillus, Micrococcus and Microbacterium genera. The isolate assigned to the Micrococcus yunnanensis strain TJPT4 presented the best performance, degrading 93 ± 4% of 15 mg/L paracetamol as the sole carbon source after 360 h, and was also apparently able to degrade the produced metabolites. This strain was able to remove 82.1 ± 0.9% of 16 mg/L fluoxetine after 504 h, mainly by adsorption, but apparently a biodegradation contribution also occurred. This strain was able to remove 66.6 ± 0.2% of 13 mg/L 17α-ethinylestradiol after 360 h. As far as is known, Micrococcus yunnanensis is for the first time recovered/identified in Filograna implexa, presenting a high drug removal efficiency, thereby becoming a great candidate for treatment processes (e.g., bioaugmentation), especially in the presence of saline intrusions.
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Sequestrated from Water Using Novel Mesoporous Activated Carbon Optimally Prepared from Cassava Peels
Authors: Kayiwa Ronald , Kasedde Hillary , Lubwama Michael , Kirabira John Baptist
Published: October 2022

The increasing occurrence of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in water systems coupled with their recalcitrance to conventional water treatment methods calls for research into more eco-friendly and cost-effective curbing media. Mesoporous cassava peel activated carbon (CPAC) was prepared under conditions derived from optimizing the surface area and yield with the temperature and holding time as the model inputs using the response surface methodology. The sequestration potential and mechanisms of the resultant activated carbon (AC) for active pharmaceutical ingredients from wastewater were studied using batch experiments. The CPAC adsorption kinetics and isothermal mechanisms for the three pharmaceuticals (carbamazepine (CBZ), clarithromycin (CLN), and trimethoprim (TRM)) were studied in both wastewater and Milli-Q water. The API concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer (LC-MS) system. The maximum removal efficiencies were 86.00, 58.00, and 68.50% for CBZ, CLN, and TRM for wastewater, which were less than those from the Milli-Q water at 94.25, 73.50, and 84.5%, respectively. The sorption process for the CLN was better explained by the Freundlich model, whereas the CBZ and TRM adsorption processes could suitably be explained by both the Langmuir and Freundlich models. At an initial concentration of 20 mgL−1 for all APIs and a CPAC dosage of 2.0 gL−1, the maximum adsorption capacities were 25.907, 84.034, and 1.487 mgg−1 for CBZ, TRM, and CLN, respectively. These results demonstrated the potential of CPAC to remove APIs from water, with its sequestration potential being more exhibited after the removal of the organic matter owing to the lower competition for active sites by the APIs. Additionally, positive adsorbates were better removed than negatively charged adsorbates due to the dominance of anions in the cassava peel lattice.
A Novel Low-Cost Photocatalyst: Preparation, Characterization, and Photocatalytic Properties of CeO2-Diatomite Composites
Authors: Turkten Nazli
Published: October 2022

Developing CeO2-diatomite composites with highly efficient photocatalytic performance is a practical and low-cost strategy for the removal of abundant contaminants in water and wastewaters. Diatomite (D) was modified by acid treatment to obtain a more porous structure. CeO2-diatomite composites were prepared in two different mass ratios of D to CeO2 of 1:1 and 1:2 via a facile precipitation method. The changes in structural, morphological, optical, and thermal properties of CeO2-diatomite composites were characterized by FTIR, XRD, ESEM-EDAX, BET surface area, TGA, PL, Raman spectroscopy, and zeta potential techniques. ESEM images presented the morphological differences of CeO2-diatomite composites, reflecting the effect of modification as a more folded sheet form morphology and higher BET surface area. XRD analysis revealed the fluorite-type structure of CeO2 particles in composites. Photocatalytic activities were investigated by following the degradation of methylene blue (MB) as a thiazine dye model under UVA light irradiation. CeO2-diatomite composites exhibited irradiation time- and dose-dependent remarkable photocatalytic efficiencies, whereas composite type inconsistent variations were also noticed. The attained performance of the CeO2-diatomite composites could strongly imply a favorable application prospect in the photocatalysis field.
Physicochemical Parameters in the Generation of Turbidity Episodes in a Water Supply Distribution System
Authors: Juncosa Ricardo , Cereijo José Luis , Vázquez Ricardo
Published: October 2022

Water is necessary for the development and support of human life. The ability of water to supply the different populations has different origins: water taken from river diversions, water from underground catchments, water from lakes and reservoirs, water from the recirculation of treated water, etc. Episodes of turbidity and color changes in the water supply in pipe distribution systems are non-isolated problems that occur in many cities and towns. In particular, sedimentation in water supply pipelines and the subsequent resuspension of these particles in the system have created the need to investigate the processes and variables that promote turbidity episodes, including why, when, and where these episodes occur. In this study, different physicochemical parameters were investigated and analyzed in the water supply distribution network of the city of La Coruña (northwest Spain) through a pipe monitoring panel under real operating conditions. The supply waters come from the Mero river basin, a basin made up of siliceous materials, a unique condition with respect to the majority of studies that have been carried out using waters coming from basins made of basic materials. In this case, the relationships between different variables were studied, including the number of particles, particle size, turbidity, color, concentration of particulate materials, and mineralogy. In this article, only those parameters that are better correlated have been noted. The results revealed a predominant relationship between color and the concentration and mineralogy of particulate materials, as well as between turbidity and the number and size of particles.
Wheeled Capsule Threshold of Motion at Different Locations in a Horizontal Bend Pipeline Based on Hydraulic Capsule Pipeline Transportation
Authors: Lu Yifan , Zhao Yiming , Yuan Yuan , Tian Yu , Sun Xihuan
Published: October 2022

As the process before the transporting of the capsule in a hydraulic capsule pipeline system, the capsule’s threshold of motion process is often tested in the horizontal straight pipe. However, the result of the physical test in this work shows that the wheeled capsule more easily start-moves in a horizontal bent pipe. Thus, the numerical simulation and the theory analysis were used to study the wheeled capsule’s threshold of motion process in the bent pipe. The simulation results demonstrate that the velocity magnitude of the water flow was asymmetric between the inner part and the outer part of the section closing on the wheeled capsule. This was unlike the water flow of the section in the straight pipe. From this result, a new mechanical model was proposed that divides the wheeled capsule into two parts. The two parts of the mechanical model correspond to the two parts of the section. Then, the deduction has shown that the bolsters of the inner part of the wheeled capsule in the bent pipe endured lower maximum static friction than those in the straight pipe. The whole wheeled capsule was more unstable in the bent pipe than in the straight pipe because of the additional drag force induced by the centrifugal effect of the bent pipe’s water flow.

Published: October 2022

To understand the lake status and reasons of eutrophication at Lake Erhai in recent years, water quality, including water temperature (T), pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) from 2016 to 2020 was monitored and analyzed. The results showed no obvious thermocline in the vertical direction at Lake Erhai, while Chl-a demonstrated obvious spatiotemporal distribution characteristics in Lake Erhai. Chl-a concentrations increased to a maximum in summer in August with the low TN:TP value, leading to algal blooms, most notably in the southern lakes. Low pH and DO appeared due to the thermocline of Erhai Lake (August 2016). A large area of algae distribution due to the increase of total phosphorus appeared in the northern lake area of Lake Erhai in December 2016, with a tendency of mesotrophic to light eutrophic in summer by the nutritional evaluation of Lake Erhai, especially in the central lake area and the northern lake area. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and principal component analysis showed a significant positive correlation between Chl-a and T (r = 0.34, p ≤ 0.01) and TP (r = 0.31 p ≤ 0.01) in the mesotrophic Lake Erhai, indicating that TP content was one of the triggering factors for the algal blooming. Based on the spatiotemporal changes in water quality parameters and their relationship with eutrophication, scientific agencies should implement management strategies to protect Lake Erhai, supplemental to the costly engineering measurements.

Authors: Kwak Changjae
Published: October 2022

Urban development naturally aggravates flood damage, causing severe damage yearly. Preparation for flood damage is a part of urban planning, but it is not easy to establish clear mitigation measures in densely populated urban areas. This study analyzed the applicability of trunk drainage sewers as an alternative to installing abatement facilities, a typical structural measure for reducing flood damage in dense urban areas. The study areas included three areas in South Korea where flood damage had previously occurred, and the input parameters of the flood analysis model were calibrated based on the measured runoff, followed by testing with inundation traces. The results of three watersheds were qualitatively evaluated using the Lee Sallee Shape Index (LSSI) method. The applicability of the trunk drainage sewer system in the Gunja and Dowon watersheds were “Excellent” and “Good” in the Dorim watershed. The analysis results for each trunk drainage sewer condition indicated that the peak flow reduction was the greatest at 40% and 60% dimensionless upstream area ratio (DUAR) for 1000–5000 m3 and 10,000 m3, respectively. High hydrological applicability under the same rainfall conditions was demonstrated consequent to analyzing the applicability of the installation of a typical reduction facility and trunk drainage sewer.

Published: October 2022

In order to get rid of the bulky and lossy differential gears and to enhance the system robustness, the magnetic differential (MagD) system is proposed after the mechanical differential (MechD) and electronic differential (ElecD) systems. The MagD system is mainly composed of the double-rotor (DR) stator-permanent-magnet (PM) motor with a new set of winding whose magnetic field reversely interacts with the PM field in two rotors. As a result, the compactness and reliability of the system are improved. This paper quantitatively compares and analyzes the three major types of stator-PM motors applied in the MagD system, which can give an essential guideline on the choice of motor types in various situations. All kinds of motors are optimized in the same exercise, and their performances are thoroughly evaluated and compared by using three-dimensional finite element analysis. Finally, the motor with the best overall performance is prototyped, and the MagD system is set up for experimental verification of the optimized flux-switching PM motor.

Published: October 2022

A utilização de resinas compostas no dia a dia clínico vem ganhando cada vez mais espaço, principalmente com a grande popularidade das facetas em resinas composta. Esses materiais necessitam possuir propriedades básicas para utilização, a exemplo: estabilidade de cor, insolubilidade, biocompatibilidade. Estes compósitos podem sofrer alterações de cor ao longo do tempo, por fatores intrínsecos ou extrínsecos. Dentre os fatores extrínsecos, a absorção de pigmentos da alimentação. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a suscetibilidade ao machamento de três marcas distintas de resina composta frente ao açafrão, corante amplamente utilizado na região Norte. Para o desenvolvimento da metodologia foram utilizados 60 corpos de prova, sendo 20 de cada resina selecionada.  Para cada resina, 10 corpos de prova foram imersos em água destilada e os outros 10 em solução contendo açafrão (n=10). As resinas selecionadas para obtenção dos corpos de prova foram a Opallis (FGM); Charisma Classic (Kulzer); Filtek Z350 (3M ESPE). As leituras iniciais de cor realizaram-se em todos os corpos de prova imediatamente após tratamento dos corpos e imersão em água destilada por 24 horas. A leitura subsequente se deu após 15 dias para cada resina submetida à imersão em solução de açafrão. As variações de coloração foram novamente levadas para mensuração por meio de aparelho espectrofotrômetro, porém não foi possível devido alto manchamento e consistência de cor fora do padrão. Dessa maneira, os resultados foram comparados por meio da fotografia, que mostrou que a estabilidade de cor das resinas estudadas sofreu influência do corante utilizado. Todas as resinas sofreram pigmentação de maneira equivalente de acordo com a sua cor inicial.

THE MENTAL ORCHESTRATES THE INFORMATION ACTIVITY OF THE BRAIN: FROM PHYSICAL EXISTENCE TO MENTALLY REALIZED BEING
Authors: Soloviov O. , Litvinova O.
Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the question of the functional specificity of the mental (psyche, subjective) during the informational activity of neural networks of the brain, which have a physiological (by and large, physical) nature. The understanding of such specificity of the mental is based on the awareness of the inability of physical laws to support the biological and/or social expediency of the brain's informational activity, which it actually carries out. It is also shown that such an idea of the mental, taking into account the features that are revealed here due to its functional and, hence, causal inclusion in the processing of information in the brain, should change the conceptual foundations of psychology and make its practical applications more understandable.

It was found that the key aspect of psychic activity is the ability of living beings to evaluate anything subjectively, that is, qualitatively (not quantitatively, like a computer). Therefore, subjective assessment is interpreted as an information processing operator in the brain, which ensures the integration of information for the purpose of creating biologically/socially appropriate mental models of the future relations of a living being with the surrounding reality. These mentally active models of the future (goals, plans, ideas) "orchestrate" (determine) the motor acts of a living being based on past experience integrated with subjective assessments in order to change the "world for the better". The functional specificity of the human psyche is also revealed, for which two new terms are introduced, namely, mono-valued psyche and multi-valued psyche. This makes it possible to describe the "mechanism" of human freedom, which unfolds, "contrary" to classical physical ideas, on the background of physical laws and through the activity of the brain. The introduced concepts make it possible to characterize a mentally active person as a living being that most effectively demonstrates causality-from-within as a factor of informational resistance to physical entropy.
COPING STRATEGIES AND MAINTAINING PRODUCTIVITY IN STRESSFUL SITUATIONS

Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the results of theoretical and empirical research of students’ coping strategies and the connection of coping with the preservation of productivity and high functionality in stressful situations (in relation to the results of diagnosis of students’ procrastination). Theoretical analysis of the specifics of the effectiveness of coping strategies is presented. The empirical study involved 66 students of 2-4 courses. Diagnosis of coping tension was performed using the Ways of Coping Questionnaire, WCQ (R. Lazarus) and "Tuckman General Procrastination Scale (adapted by T. L. Kryukova)". The results of an empirical study of students' coping have been analyzed. It has been found that the most often behavioral strategies to which students apply are: planning (57.5%) and positive reassessment (56.6%); the search for social support, acceptance of responsibility and self-control are equally pronounced (31.8%); distancing, avoidance, and confrontational coping are less common. The severity and dominance of coping strategies in groups of respondents with different levels of procrastination have been analyzed. According to the results, the most developed behavioral strategies for students with low procrastination are positive reassessment and planning (the latter is more often represented by the dominant strategy). Among the group with a medium level of procrastination, these two copings are also equally pronounced. However, there is a lack of tension in other, active behavioral strategies. Among people with a high level of procrastination, the statistical predominance of one or another coping is not recorded, we widely observe the severity of only one or two strategies, or low tension of all presented copings. After analyzing the dominant copings of people with low procrastination, a hypothesis was formulated about the possible inverse correlation between the severity of positive revaluation and procrastination, the test was performed by mathematical data processing (Spearman's correlation analysis). No significant correlations were found, so the hypothesis was not confirmed. The results of empirical research can be used both to develop recommendations, developmental and educational activities aimed at preventing the decline in productivity and efficiency, and to highlight the understudied topic of the links between coping strategies and the phenomenon of procrastination.

Published: October 2022

The article discusses the issue of coping behavior as a form of behavior that reflects an individual's readiness to solve life problems. What is especially relevant in times of trials from military threats in the country. This behavior is aimed at adapting to circumstances and involves the developed ability to use certain means to overcome emotional stress. When choosing active actions, the probability of eliminating the effect of stressors on a person increases. The theoretical analysis showed that coping strategies are necessary when a person gets into a crisis situation. Any crisis situation presupposes the presence of some objective circumstances and a certain attitude of a person to them, depending on the degree of their significance, which is accompanied by emotional and behavioral reactions of various nature and degree of intensity. The leading characteristics of a crisis situation are mental tension, significant experiences as a special internal work to overcome life events or traumas, a change in self-esteem and motivation, as well as a pronounced need for their correction and psychological support from the outside.

It was found that the motivational orientation of the individual determines the features of coping strategies in crisis situations. Thus, subjects with a pronounced motivation to avoid failure are more likely to use passive behavioral strategies in stressful situations - social support and avoidance, which reflects their weak efforts in solving any problem situation. And the subjects with a high level of motivation for success mainly use the strategy of finding a solution in stressful situations, aimed at solving the problem and adequately responding to the stressful situation. It was established that almost half of the researched use the strategy of finding a solution in stressful situations. That is, they have the highest level of development of adaptive coping mechanisms, tend to analyze stressful situations and find ways to solve them, have high confidence in their own resources to overcome stressful situations. The application of practical steps aimed at solving the situation significantly increases the constructiveness and effectiveness of overcoming it.
PSYCHOLOGICAL SPACE AND PERSONAL BOUNDARIES FORMATION AS A FACTOR OF STUDENTS’ PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING
Authors: Volynchuk O.
Published: October 2022

The article presents the results of the study of students' psychological space, in particular the levels of sovereignty of personal space in terms of body, territory, things, habits, social ties and values, as well as signs of psychological boundaries: characteristics of their functions and thickness. It has been found that the students’ sovereignty of values is most formed, the sovereignty of things is also at a high level, and the sovereignty of the body is the least formed, which may indicate physical deprivation or at least a tendency to it.

The psychological well-being of students is studied. It is found that its parameters are characterized by an average level for most respondents, while the overall rate of psychological well-being is low for 2/3 of respondents.

There are direct and inverse relationships between the parameters of psychological well-being and the characteristics of students’ personal boundaries and space. It is found that the indicators of the sovereignty of psychological space with the characteristics of well-being are interrelated only directly, that is, the formed sovereignty is a condition of well-being feeling, and deprivation of space is a factor of ill-being. Signs of psychological boundaries are also mostly positively related to the well-being. It’s established that only the impermissible and restraining functions of the boundary correlate negatively with the psychological well-being.

A Diagnostic Tool for Identifying Tag-Related Biases in Mortality Estimates: A Case Study from Kuwait's Shrimp Fishery
Authors: MATHEWS C.P. , SIDDEEK M.S.M.
Published: October 2022

Changes in the ratio of tagged shrimp recovered to untagged shrimp caught in the fishery during a release and recapture tagging experiment may be used to identify the occurrence of tag-related mortality in the field. Where the ratio declines, it is likely that tag-related mortality occurs, that estimates of total mortality are biased and that only fishing mortality estimates will be reliable. The theory and assumptions underlying the method are discussed and applied to Kuwait tagging data, which show that tag-related mortality occurred in the field, contrary to results of laboratory observations. The method may be applied to old tagging data on fish or shrimp for which laboratory experiments on tagging mortality are unavailable. The method has the advantage of being able to identify (but not measure) tag-related mortality in the field, which may differ from tag-related mortality determined in laboratory experiments.

Authors: SANTOS ENCARNACION EMILIA M. , NG CHER-SIANG
Published: October 2022

The sarcoplasmic proteins of Nemipterus peronii were electrophoretically analyzed using the isoelectric focusing (IEF) technique. A polymorphic zone at pH 3.69-3.79 was observed, giving three phenotypes: ·A, AB and B. The expected frequencies of the occurrence of each of the phenotypes, according to the Hardy Weinberg law, agreed with the observed frequencies.
An Economic Analysis of Floating Cage Culture of Tinfoil Barb, Puntius schwanenfeldii, in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, Using Chicken Manure and Other Fresh Feeds
Authors: CHRISTENSEN MIKKEL S.
Published: October 2022

Tinfoil barb, Puntius schwanenfeldii, in floating cages can be fed a variety of fresh feeds, but some cannot be consumed whole. It was found that 96% and 65% of tubers and leaves of cassava, Manihot esculenta, and 70% of banana bunches could be ingested by tinfoil barb. The leaves of water spinach, lpomea aquatica, and of a climber, Passifiora sp., were less practical, as only 49% and 34%, respectively, were edible. Preparation and distribution times were determined for these feeds, as well as for dried fish, two homemade pellet feeds and two commercial pellets. Only 1-3 min were required to prepare and feed one kilo of cassava leaves or dried fish to tinfoil barb. Water spinach leaves required 5 min, bananas 12 and cassava tubers 26 min. Home-made pellet feeds required 27-39 min. Feeding commercial pellets by hand took 14 min·kg"1, whereas with demand feeders it only took 2 min·Itg-1. Cost-benefit analyses of 14 small-scale cage culture syst.ems were conducted us­ing these data. Gross income, excluding labor and interest payments, varied from a loss of Rp 34,225 to a profit of Rp 38,925·m-3·year·1. Returns on labor for the 10 prof­itable culture systems ranged from Rp 50 to Rp 1,725·m·3·day·1 per person. Protein production costs ranged from Rp 9,200 to Rp 24,000·kg"1. The best incomes and returns were generated from fish-cum-chicken systems. Little labor and low cash inputs were required when feeding cassava leaves only. The implications for village-based tropical culture syst.ems in Southeast Asia are discussed, bearing in mind the fact that free time has a high social value and cash for invest­ment is often lacking.

In the last 2021, Indonesia has had 43 botanical gardens with more than 104.000 specimens that are collected in the Indonesian Botanical Garden. 152 species of them are in threatened condition based on The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN) data. To conserve the floras and exploring them for other purposes such as science development, economic development, and medicine development, the stakeholders including the Indonesian government find it difficult to access the real-time data and information. Indonesia does not have a connected system at the national level that can provide real-time data from all botanical gardens in Indonesia for monitoring and managing the specimens. Some botanical gardens have tried to develop their system to maintain and monitor plant collections. However, without a national connected system that is implemented in all Indonesian gardens, it raises new issues such as long-time collecting data process, inaccurate data, different mechanisms to treat data and different business processes to maintain the plant collections. The purpose of this study is to develop a system, named Makoyana, that can address the issues and provide real-time monitoring and managing information for plant collection at the national level. Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) methodologies are combined to manage the project. The outcomes of this study are the system that provides one gateway platform for stakeholders to find all information about plant collections data, IUCN status, updated statistics, and a national standard for maintaining and collecting data for plant collections in the Indonesian Botanical Garden.

Quando focamos o acesso da população à saúde bucal na Atenção Primária à Saúde, ficamos diante de um grande desafio, que envolve garantir um serviço de qualidade, facilitado, integral e resolutivo. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a qualidade do acesso à saúde bucal na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Para isso, foi realizada, em outubro de 2020, uma revisão integrativa da literatura por meio de artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos, disponíveis na Biblioteca Virtual da Saúde. A estratégia de busca retornou 118 artigos, desses 16 foram incluídos. As quatro categorias que emergiram da análise foram: Avaliação do acesso aos serviços odontológicos pela população e seus desafios; O impacto do acesso à saúde bucal na qualidade de vida das pessoas; Compreensão da relação do profissional com o acesso e O uso da agenda de atividades para a melhoria do acesso aos serviços de saúde bucal. Com essa análise, concluiu-se que ainda há muitos desafios a serem vencidos para que consigamos ter um acesso efetivo de qualidade à saúde bucal na APS.

Profissionalismo médico (PM) compreende o exercício da medicina considerando ciência, consciência e excelência. Objetivou-se, neste artigo, descrever como o PM se apresenta no currículo médico e reconhecer o universo semântico dos internos de medicina sobre o tema. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo estudo de caso, realizada mediante aplicação de questionário a 55 alunos do internato em Saúde da Família de um curso sediado no estado do Ceará, Brasil, e análise do projeto pedagógico do curso (PPC). O PPC foi explorado quanto aos domínios do PM; as palavras expressas pelos estudantes foram processadas pelo software IRaMuTeQ por análise prototípica e de similitude, com discussão à luz da Matriz de Competências do Profissionalismo Médico no Brasil. Competência cultural e compromisso com a competência técnica se destacaram, enquanto que os demais domínios foram identificados como incipientes. Os estudantes atribuíram significados de PM associados à ética (f=39; OME=2,1), à empatia (f=21; OME=2,4) e à responsabilidade (f=17; OME=2,3). O Profissionalismo Médico revelou-se fragmentado no currículo e refletiu universos semânticos em elaboração, elucidando a necessidade de estimular essa competência na formação dos graduandos.
