Assessing the Impact of Pre-Soaking to Enhance Laundering Efficacy of Firefighter Turnout Gear
Authors: Hossain Md Tanjim , Ormond R. Bryan
Published: July 2024

Firefighters are exposed to hazardous chemicals at fire scenes, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) among many others, which pose significant health risks. Current laundering practices are ineffective at removing persistent contaminants from turnout gear, necessitating further research to optimize cleaning methods. This study explores the impact of presoaking prior to the laundering process and the factors that can affect its effectiveness, including the presoaking duration and detergent concentration, in PAH removal when laundering. For this, contaminated fabric swatches were subjected to various presoaking durations (1, 3, and 12 h) and detergent concentrations (99:1 and 90:10 water-to-detergent ratios) before undergoing bench-scale washing. The cleaning efficacy was assessed for 16 PAH compounds, including both low-molecular-weight (LMW) PAHs and high-molecular-weight (HMW) PAHs. Moreover, the removal mechanisms of PAHs from turnout gear were fundamentally explained using partition coefficients and standard affinities with different parameters during washing. The results demonstrate that 3 h and 12 h of presoaking lead to 2.8 and 4.3 times greater HMW PAH removal, respectively. After 12 h of presoaking in a 90:10 water-to-detergent ratio, 97% of the LMW PAHs and 78% of the HMW PAHs were removed, compared to only an 11% removal of the HMW PAHs with a 99:1 ratio. Additionally, direct washing with a 90:10 ratio achieved comparable efficacy to that of presoaking with the same water-to-detergent ratio, indicating the crucial role of detergent concentration during laundering. These findings offer valuable insights for optimizing firefighter safety practices, emphasizing the role of presoaking and the appropriate methods to perform presoaking to mitigate firefighters’ occupational exposure risks to toxic substances and ensure gear reliability.

Published: July 2024

Fungal and mycotoxin control at a primary stage in the food chain is crucial to maintaining the nutritional quality of animal feed. The control of fungal and mycotoxins is one of the essential points that a good biosecurity program must establish to ensure the safe feeding and protection of animal and human health. Acquiring a comprehensive understanding of the role of mycotoxins is vital to identifying breaches of this control and enabling the performance of proper risk assessments and accurate risk management strategies. This study focused on the identification of regulated and emerging mycotoxins in agricultural fields and dairy farms through an analytical methodology by ultra high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTrap-MS/MS). This allowed us to identify a Portuguese mycotoxin profile in the maize value chain for the first time. Regarding our occurrence data, mycotoxins were identified in all samples, namely seeds, flowering plants, grain and forage at harvest, maize silage, and animal feed. FBs and ENNB were highly present in all stages of the production cycle. This work offers an initial insight into a full screening of regulated and emerging mycotoxins within an important agricultural commodity. The high occurrence of these compounds points to the need to perform occurrence surveys from an integrative perspective to protect consumers’ health, especially within food chains that provide various important staple foods worldwide.
Low-Energy Cosmic Rays and Associated MeV Gamma-Ray Emissions in the Protoplanetary System

Published: July 2024

Low-energy cosmic rays (LECRs) play a crucial role in the formation of planetary systems, and detecting and reconstructing the properties of early LECRs is essential for understanding the mechanisms of planetary system formation. Given that LECRs interact with the surrounding medium to produce nuclear de-excitation line emissions, which are gamma-ray emissions with energy mainly within 0.1–10 MeV and are unaffected by stellar wind modulation, these emissions can accurately reflect the properties of LECRs. This study introduces an innovative method for using gamma-ray emissions to infer LECR properties. We employed the Parker transport equation to simulate the propagation and spectral evolution of LECRs in a protoplanetary disk and calculated the characteristic gamma-ray emissions resulting from interactions between LECRs and disk material. These gamma-ray emissions encapsulate the spectral information of LECRs, providing a powerful tool to reconstruct the cosmic ray environment at that time. This method, supported by further theoretical developments and observations, will fundamentally enhance our understanding of the impact of CRs on the origin and evolution of planetary systems and address significant scientific questions regarding the cosmic ray environment at the origin of life.

Published: July 2024

Bats are ecologically diverse vertebrates characterized by their ability to host a wide range of viruses without apparent illness and the presence of numerous endogenous viral elements (EVEs). EVEs are well preserved, expressed, and may affect host biology and immunity, but their role in bat immune system evolution remains unclear. Among EVEs, endogenous bornavirus-like elements (EBLs) are bornavirus sequences integrated into animal genomes. Here, we identified a novel EBL in the microbat Myotis daubentonii, EBLL-Cultervirus.10-MyoDau (short name is CV.10-MyoDau) that shows protein-level conservation with the L-protein of a Cultervirus (Wuhan sharpbelly bornavirus). Surprisingly, we discovered a transcript on the antisense strand comprising three exons, which we named AMCR-MyoDau. The active transcription in Myotis daubentonii tissues of AMCR-MyoDau, confirmed by RNA-Seq analysis and RT-PCR, highlights its potential role during viral infections. Using comparative genomics comprising 63 bat genomes, we demonstrate nucleotide-level conservation of CV.10-MyoDau and AMCR-MyoDau across various bat species and its detection in 22 Yangochiropera and 12 Yinpterochiroptera species. To the best of our knowledge, this marks the first occurrence of a conserved EVE shared among diverse bat species, which is accompanied by a conserved antisense transcript. This highlights the need for future research to explore the role of EVEs in shaping the evolution of bat immunity.
Research on Coupling Knowledge Embedding and Data-Driven Deep Learning Models for Runoff Prediction
Authors: Li Yanling , Wei Junfang , Sun Qianxing , Huang Chunyan
Published: July 2024

Accurate runoff prediction is crucial for watershed water resource management, flood prevention, and hydropower station scheduling. Data-driven models have been increasingly applied to runoff prediction tasks and have achieved impressive results. However, existing data-driven methods may produce unreasonable predictions due to the lack of prior knowledge guidance. This study proposes a multivariate runoff prediction model that couples knowledge embedding with data-driven approaches, integrating information contained in runoff probability distributions as constraints into the data-driven model and optimizing the existing loss function with prior probability density functions (PDFs). Using the main stream in the Yellow River Basin with nine hydrological stations as an example, we selected runoff feature factors using the transfer entropy method, chose a temporal convolutional network (TCN) as the data-driven model, and optimized model parameters with the IPSO algorithm, studying univariate input models (TCN-UID), multivariable input models (TCN-MID), and the coupling model. The results indicate the following: (1) Among numerous influencing factors, precipitation, sunshine duration, and relative humidity are the key feature factors driving runoff occurrence; (2) the coupling model can effectively fit the extremes of runoff sequences, improving prediction accuracy in the training set by 6.9% and 4.7% compared to TCN-UID and TCN-MID, respectively, and by 5.7% and 2.8% in the test set. The coupling model established through knowledge embedding not only retains the advantages of data-driven models but also effectively addresses the poor prediction performance of data-driven models at extremes, thereby enhancing the accuracy of runoff predictions.

Published: July 2024

The assessment of scour depth downstream of weirs holds paramount importance in ensuring the structural stability of these hydraulic structures. This study presents groundbreaking experimental investigations highlighting the innovative use of baffles to enhance energy dissipation and mitigate scour in the downstream beds of rectangular piano key weirs (RPKWs) and trapezoidal piano key weirs (TPKWs). By leveraging three state-of-the-art supervised machine learning algorithms—multi-layer perceptron (MLP), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and support vector regression (SVR)—to estimate scour hole parameters, this research showcases significant advancements in predictive modeling for scour analysis. Experimental results reveal that the incorporation of baffles leads to a remarkable 18–22% increase in energy dissipation and an 11–14% reduction in scour depth for both RPKWs and TPKWs. Specifically, introducing baffles in RPKWs resulted in a noteworthy 26.7% reduction in scour hole area and a 30.3% decrease in scour volume compared to RPKWs without baffles. Moreover, novel empirical equations were developed to estimate scour parameters, achieving impressive performance metrics with an average R2 = 0.951, RMSE = 0.145, and MRPE = 4.429%. The MLP models demonstrate superior performance in predicting maximum scour depth across all scenarios with an average R2 = 0.988, RMSE = 0.035, and MRPE = 1.036%. However, the predictive capabilities varied when estimating weir toe scour depth under diverse circumstances, with the XGBoost model proving more accurate in scenarios involving baffled TPKWs with R2 = 0.965, RMSE = 0.048, and MRPE = 2.798% than the MLP and SVR models. This research underscores the significant role of baffles in minimizing scouring effects in TPKWs compared to RPKWs, showcasing the potential for improved design and efficiency in water-management systems.
Experimental Study on Upstream Water Level Rise of Submerged Rock Weirs
Authors: Zhang Wen , Liu Xingnian , Gan Binrui
Published: July 2024

Rock weirs, typically created by the placement of loose rocks, are eco-friendly hydraulic structures used for raising the upstream water level, which has benefits for irrigation, shipping, and grade control. Although rock weirs are frequently submerged in rivers, few studies have systematically investigated their impacts on the upstream water level under submerged conditions. A series of flume experiments regarding this topic were conducted. Different flow discharges, tail-water depths, and void ratios were adopted in the experiments. The results show that (1) the submerged rock weirs primarily function to raise the upstream water level, while having a limited impact on the tail-water level; (2) for a given tail-water depth and void ratio, the upstream water level rise increases with increased discharge, although this response becomes insignificant as tail-water depth increases; (3) as void ratio increases, the upstream water level rise is expected to decrease for a given tail-water depth and discharge; and (4) based on the data and observations, a predictor including the effects of Froude number, submergence, and void ratio is proposed for estimating the upstream water level rise of submerged rock weirs. These results contribute to further understanding the hydraulic properties of rock weirs and are important for river training practices using rock weirs.

Published: July 2024

This journal aims to analyze the impact of the boycott phenomenon on the intention to switch from foreign fried chicken restaurants such as McDonald's or KFC to local fried chicken restaurants such as D'kriuk or Sabana. Basically, the boycott phenomenon has become a major highlight in boycotting pro-Israel products. This is known from several examples of food products that allegedly provide free food for Zionist soldiers, namely McDonald's and KFC. In addition, the boycott that occurred against this brand was due to its connection with Israel, where there has been a conflict between Palestine and Israel. By boycotting McDonald's or KFC brands that have supported Israeli crimes, we can help stop Israeli aggression against Palestine and fight for the independence and freedom of the Palestinian people who have been colonized by Israel. Through a literature review and data analysis, this article explores the factors that influence consumers' intentions to switch from foreign to local brands in the context of the boycott phenomenon. When viewed through the consumer literature, there is a significant influence on the intention to switch from foreign brands such as McDonald's or KFC to local brands such as D'kriuk or Sabana. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for fast food industry stakeholders in dealing with the challenges faced by the boycott phenomenon and strategies to maintain consumer loyalty.  Keywords: Switching Intention, Boycott Intention, Alternative Attractiveness

Sustantivos comodines como recursos discursivos: el caso de chisme
Authors: Mihatsch Wiltrud
Published: July 2024

Los comodines son expresiones lingüísticas que muestran una aparente paradoja entre su pobreza semántica y su función más destacada, la de facilitar la identificación de referentes o conceptos. A nivel sintáctico, los comodines se utilizan para rellenar un hueco sintáctico en el enunciado y sirven como sustitutos de expresiones léxicas. En español y otras lenguas los comodines basados en sustantivos generales muestran muy pocos rasgos semánticos, pero poseen funciones discursivas bien establecidas. Estas expresiones se han estudiado, por ejemplo, en el contexto del lenguaje coloquial de adolescentes (véase Núñez Pertejo, 2018), aunque son utilizadas por todos los grupos de edad. En este estudio me centraré en un análisis del comodín chisme y de sus variantes formales basado en el corpus de COSER, un corpus de español peninsular compuesto de entrevistas orales a hablantes rurales generalmente mayores. El objetivo de mi comunicación es establecer un perfil detallado de este comodín en el español peninsular, de sus rasgos semánticos, de sus funciones discursivas y de ciertos efectos llamativos en contextos de búsqueda de palabras. Analizaré, en particular, un fenómeno que en un trabajo de orientación tipológica de Podlesskaya (2010) se describió como mirroring, la adopción de reflejos formales de la palabra meta, y que aún no se ha investigado para el español.

Published: July 2024

Цель. Оценка годовой динамики лабораторных и эхокардиографических характеристик пациентов пожилого возраста после проведения стентирования коронарных артерий и выявление ранней ХСН. Материалы и методы. В исследовании приняли участие 80 пациентов с симптомами хронической сердечной недостаточности после проведения стентирования коронарных артерий. Объем исследования перед проведением стентирования коронарных артерий: подсчет баллов по шкале оценки клинического состояния (ШОКС), тест 6-минутной ходьбы (ТШХ), определение N-концевого предшественника натрийуретического пептида (NT-proBNP) в крови, эхокардиография. Средний возраст 76,17±3,29 года. Результаты. Количество баллов по шкале ШОКС за 12 месяцев снизилось с 3 (2; 4) до 1 (0; 1) балла (р<0,001) преимущественно из-за одышки. Прирост дистанции в ТШХ составил 85 (58; 116) м (р<0,001). Среднее значение NT-proBNP в группе снизилось с 470 (395;553) пг/мл до 364 (293; 443) пг/мл (р<0, 001). Заключение. Плановое ЧКВ со стентированием коронарных артерий у пациентов пожилого возраста должно тщательно обсуждаться, особенно когда имеется коморбидная патология. Необходимо проводить исследования, направленные на длительное наблюдение пациентов после ЧКВ, а также для подтверждения или исключения ХСН у всех пациентов изучить уровень NT-proBNP.

Purpose. To assess the annual dynamics of laboratory and echocardiographic characteristics of elderly patients after stenting of the coronary arteries and to identify early CHF. Materials and methods. The study involved 80 patients with symptoms of chronic heart failure after coronary artery stenting. The scope of the study before stenting the coronary arteries: scoring on a clinical status scale (CSS), 6-minute walk test (TST), determination of N-terminal precursor natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the blood, echocardiography. Average age 76.17±3.29 years. Results. The number of points on the SCS scale over 12 months decreased from 3 (2; 4) to 1 (0; 1) points (p<0.001), mainly due to shortness of breath. The increase in distance in TSH was 85 (58; 116) meters (p<0.001). The mean NT-proBNP value in the group decreased from 470 (395; 553) pg/ml to 364 (293; 443) pg/ml (p<0.001). Conclusion. Elective PCI with coronary artery stenting in elderly patients should be carefully discussed, especially when there is comorbid pathology. It is necessary to conduct studies aimed at long-term observation of patients after PCI, as well as to study the level of NT-proBNP in all patients to confirm or exclude CHF.

Parasitas gastrintestinais estão presentes em praticamente todos os rebanhos de ovinos e este constitui o principal responsável pelas elevadas perdas econômicas relacionadas à redução de peso, queda no desempenho produtivo e reprodutivo, baixa imunidade e até morte dos animais. Pensando nisso, objetivou-se com a condução deste trabalho desenvolver um banco de imagens com padrões de cores da pigmentação das mucosas oculares de ovinos da Fazenda escola Laranja Doce do Centro Universitário da Grande Dourados - UNIGRAN, e posteriormente confrontá-lo aos valores do número de ovos por grama de fezes (OPG) dos animais em que se realizou a captura de imagens, permitindo futuramente o desenvolvimento de um dispositivo que possa agilizar a identificação de animais que apresentem parasitose bem como a pesquisa da aceitação mercadológica deste. Para a pesquisa da validação da técnica, utilizou-se 26 ovinos (machos e fêmeas) da raça Santa-Inês com idade média aproximada de 2 anos, da Fazenda escola Laranja Doce- UNIGRAN, para a captura de imagens fotográficas da mucosa ocular e coleta de fezes diretamente da ampola retal para a verificação da parasitose por meio de OPG. Já para a pesquisa mercadológica aplicou-se questionários aos produtores e trabalhadores na área de criação de ovinos do município de Dourados-MS, de maneira digital (Formulário Google). Os resultados obtidos foram analisados segundo uma análise descritiva e correlação de Pearson com o auxílio do pacote computacional R (versão 3.1.0 for Windows). Observou-se grande força de correlação entre as variáveis analisadas neste estudo, sendo esta de comportamento positivo o que nos incute inferir recomendação para o desenvolvimento de novas ferramentas de informações técnicas e aplicativos móveis voltados para a criação de ovinos, pois, aplicativos e ferramentas digitais vêm gradativamente conquistando espaço e se mostrando altamente eficazes na tarefa de difundir informações e conhecimento técnico gerado por pesquisadores e levadas até o campo o que pôde ser verificado nos questionários analisados.

The participation of wild animals as reservoirs or carriers of zoonoses in the wild and captivity is an emerging concern due to the potential for transmission of zoonoses such as toxoplasmosis. This study examined risk factors associated with the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in the infection of zoo primates. Serum samples from 43 primates were tested for T. gondii antibodies using three serological techniques: the Modified Agglutination Test (MAT), Immunofluorescence Antibody Test (IFAT); and molecular Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Antibodies were found in 37.2% (16/43) of the animals. Among the species, 8/43 were seroreagents according to all three techniques and 8/43 only by the IFAT. No sample was positive according to PCR. The risk factors studied, namely sex, age and category (Old World or Neotropical), were not significant in the statistical analysis (p<0.01). However, other risk factors, such as the food and water supplied and the sand present in the animals’ enclosures, were not analyzed, but have been shown in other studies to be potential causes of high prevalence of antibodies of animals surveyed in zoos. Hence, there is a need for regular monitoring of infection through periodic serological tests, to prevent infection of zoo workers and the visiting public.

O trabalho visou avaliar a resistência do polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA), com irrigação (grupo I) ou sem irrigação (grupo S) na fase final de polimerização da resina, quando ocorre reação exotérmica que pode superar os 100ºC. Através de ensaio mecânico de tração, analisado no computador, as forças geradas para romper as barras com auxílio de máquina EMIC com capacidade de tração de até 100kN (quilonewtons), equivalente a 9,81 toneladas. Testaram-se 22 moldes (corpo de prova) medindo 6,8 x 1,8 x 0,8 cm, sendo 11 de cada grupo, onde os corpos de prova que foram irrigados apresentaram acréscimo de 12,7% na resistência o que foi estatisticamente significativo (p=0,0382). Macroscopicamente, observou-se no grupo irrigado diminuição de 46,8% das bolhas de ar geradas no processo de polimerização da resina, pelo qual acredita-se que tenha aumentado sua resistência, por diminuir sua porosidade.

Authors: Bahari Lalu Pradipta Jaya
Published: July 2024

Abstract: This research highlights the important role of Islamic teachings and traditional gender norms in shaping views on gender in Indonesia, which contribute to significant gender disparities in various aspects of life such as education, political participation, access to decent work, and control over economic resources. The phenomenon of gender transition or "Transgender" is a frequent focus of debate in society, while traditional gender norms are still strong in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to understand the phenomenon of crossdressers as part of a natural and complex spectrum of gender identities and to reduce stigma and discrimination against individuals who practice crossdressing. Using descriptive qualitative methods and a comprehensive scientific approach, this research involves observation, documentation, and interviews as data collection techniques. Primary data is obtained from analyzing the content created by several crossdresser accounts on the Facebook social media platform, as well as the results of interviews with the account owners, while secondary data is obtained from relevant literature and references. The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of crossdressing, the factors that influence crossdressing behavior, as well as society's views on crossdressers. The implication is that it makes an important contribution to promoting gender equality and human rights for all individuals, as well as demonstrating the importance of continuing to conduct research and open discussions on gender issues to achieve a more inclusive and just society for all individuals.

Women's leadership role has increasingly garnered attention in various global contexts. More Muslim women are actively seeking leadership roles across diverse fields. However, they face challenges related to traditional perceptions and gender stereotypes. This research aims to delve deeper into factors such as religious knowledge, emotional intelligence, and experiences of Muslim women in navigating challenges within the context of Islamic leadership. The study employs a mixed-methods approach. Data collection involves interviews and surveys. Qualitative data from interviews are analyzed using thematic text analysis, while quantitative data from surveys are processed using statistical software and descriptive statistical analysis. The research reveals several significant findings concerning the potential, challenges, and aspirations of Muslim women in leadership. Out of 127 respondents, 63% expressed strong confidence in the leadership qualities of Muslim women. Religious knowledge, emotional intelligence, and multitasking abilities are identified as primary strengths supporting them in leadership roles. However, 47% of respondents perceive barriers stemming from traditional interpretations of religious teachings that limit women's roles. Additionally, 56% of respondents express positive hopes regarding the development of women's roles in Islamic leadership in the future. These findings highlight the substantial potential of Muslim women in leadership while also indicating challenges that need to be addressed to maximize their roles.

Based on the panel data of textile exports from the Yangtze River Delta region to the countries of Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) member countries from 2013 to 2022, multiple factors were determined affecting textile exports. According to the extended trade Gravity Model, textile exports from the Yangtze River Delta region increased rapidly from 2013 to 2022, and the volume continued to expand. ASEAN countries, Japan, and South Korea were important trade partners. The gross domectic product, population size, dependence on trade, free trade agreements, and other indicators of the importing countries were found to be important in textile exports. The textiles produced in the Yangtze River Delta region have been exported to countries with a large economic scale, high demand from a large population, and a high degree of market opening. The competitiveness of textiles in the Yangtze River Delta region in the global market is increasing with great potential.

This study describes high-power and high-efficiency W-band InAlGaN/AlN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) for future sub-terahertz wireless communications. A low-thermal-budget selective-area growth (SAG) process was developed to obtain low contact resistance with low trap states. Transmission lines and substrate structures were optimized to obtain high-thermal conductivity and low substrate resonance. Consequently, a high output power of 28.7 dBm (742 mW), output power density of 4.6 W mm−1, and power-added efficiency (PAE) of 28.0% were achieved with pre-matched InAlGaN/AlN/GaN HEMTs at 90 GHz, which were superior combination of output power and PAE compared to the conventional high-temperature SAG process.

Ipse sui vatis vota libellus agat. Entstehungskontexte des Liber ad honorem Augusti
Authors: Brenninger Sebastian
Published: July 2024

The Liber at honorem Augusti has traditionally been interpreted as a work of court historiography that was supposed to legitimize the still hardly consolidated Hohenstaufen rule in the Kingdom of Sicily. In contrast to this approach, the present article focuses on a completely different background against which the book was probably drawn up: local political conditions on the Southern Italian mainland. An in-depth analysis of hitherto largely neglected focal points of the narrative suggests that the polemical rhetoric was aimed at Archbishop Nicholas of Salerno, who had been led away in captivity at the time the Liber was created. A number of families from Salerno, who had lost in power in the course of Nicholas’ ascent, benefitted from his decline. Following Henry VI’s victory over Tancred of Lecce, these families had been able to elevate their candidate to the position of electee. With their ambitious, richly decorated manuscript, this group of families intended to oblige the imperial donee to make a counter-gift and act according to the role model as the new Solomon that was drafted on him in the Liber: Showing clemency to the givers, but strict justice towards the exiled, whose imminent return would jeopardize everything they had achieved.

Gewalt erzählen in Mailänder Geschichtswerken des 12. Jahrhunderts: Landulfs von St. Paul Historia Mediolanensis und die anonyme Narratio de Longobardie obpressione et subiectione
Authors: Dartmann Christoph
Published: July 2024

Landulf of St Paul’s Historia Mediolanensis and the anonymous Narratio de Longobardie obpressione et subiectione were written in an environment in which it had become normal to use armed force to fight conflicts within society. The commune inherited this habit of using violence on a daily basis from the society of the late 11th century. The article analyses how this culture of violence was reflected in both historiographical texts. It shows that it was not only the intended messages of the two works that were decisive, but also the cultural patterns in Lombardy during the 12th century.
