Published: September 2021

Nonnative pests and pathogens severely affect forest health and are often spread in firewood. Our objectives were to create an extension education program using “Don’t Move Firewood”-themed geocaches and travel bugs which were placed near campgrounds across Mississippi, and to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of this outreach method. Interactions with caches and travel bugs were monitored over nearly one year and summarized to provide a measure of outreach success. With a one-time per-unit cost of $45.95 for caches and $6.75 for travel bugs, these tools provide ongoing, cost-effective educational approaches well suited to augment existing or launch new outreach efforts.

Die unverfälschte Gemeinschaft. Authentifikationsstrategien einer exklusiven Geselligkeit bei Achim von Arnim und Clemens Brentano
Authors: Liese Lea
Published: September 2021

Um 1800, auch vor dem Hintergrund politischer und medientechnischer Entwicklungen (Einführung eines Pressekontrollsystems unter Napoleon, strenge Zensurmaßnahmen durch die Regierung Stein / Hardenberg einerseits, prosperierender Zeitschriftenmarkt und Bedürfnis nach Demokratisierung und frei zirkulierendem Wissen andererseits), steuern Achim von Arnim und Clemens Brentano als Dichter der Romantik und politische Akteure des antinapoleonischen Widerstandes über anekdotische Evidenzen und Erzählverfahren in Zeitungsmedien und im geselligen Kontext identitätspolitische Ein-und Ausschlusskriterien. Sie nutzen dabei mediale und narrative Authentifikationsstrategien, indem sie verschiedene Nuancen im Spektrum Wahrheit / Fiktion aufgreifen: authentische Berichte, Geschichten ‚vom Hörensagen‘, Erfundenes, historische Quellen und zeitgenössische Debatten. Es wird ein Wissen produziert, das –wiederum in die mündlich-performative Zirkulation eingelassen –effektiv Anschlusskommunikation in anderen gesellschaftlichen Teilsystemen findet und sich dort permanent selbst bestätigt sieht, also Beglaubigung erfährt. In den protokollierten Treffen der ‚Deutschen Tischgesellschaft‘ wie auch in den Publikationsorganen (Preußischer Correspondent, Friedensblätter) und literarischenTexten (z. B. Die Schachtel mit der Friedenspuppe) der politischen Romantik formiert sich somit ein Konzept von Geselligkeit, das eine wahre, ‚unverfälschte‘ Gemeinschaft stiften soll –unter Ausschluss des Weiblichen, Jüdischen, ‚Ausländischen‘ und ‚Philiströsen‘.
Chromium Leachability from Leather Waste and Eco-toxicity under Environmental Conditions
Authors: Liang-qiong Peng , Wen-jun Long , Wen-hua Zhang , Bi Shi
Published: September 2021

Chromium (III) is currently used in leather manufacture worldwide and the attention has been centered on the alleged environmental impact of chromium in leather waste. The effects of liquid-solid ratio, pH, contact time, rotational speed and temperature on the leachability of chromium from leather waste and the eco-toxicity were evaluated to investigate the ecological impact under environmental conditions. The characterization of leachate included the determination of total Cr and total organics (TOC), analysis of UV-visible absorption spectra, as well as the toxicity test with Photobacterium phosphoreum. The liquid-solid ratio, extractant pH, contact time and temperature significantly affected the leachability of chromium and toxicity of the leachate, whereas rotational speed slightly affected the leaching behavior when beyond 100 RPM. The toxicity of the leachate was related to both the amount of released substance which was mainly affected by contact time and liquid-solid ratio, and the species which was mainly affected by temperature and extractant pH. Finally, three samples from different tannery corresponding to leather waste were leached and characterized by total Cr, TOC and toxicity test under the environmental conditions of liquid-solid ratio 20:1(mL/g), pH 7.0, contact time 8 hours, rotational speed 100 RPM and temperature 25°C. These results contributed to the risk assessment of stacking field and waste management of chrome-containing leather.
Antibacterial Activities of Lichen Derived Extracts against Different Bacillus Species from Soak Liquor Samples
Authors: Berber Didem
Published: September 2021

In the leather industry, some bacterial strains may become resistant to antibacterial agents utilized in the soaking process due to long-term use and/or not using in sufficient doses. Alternative approaches or novel agents need to be investigated to overcome antibacterial resistance of bacteria present in the soaking process. These alternative approaches may be from natural resources such as lichens which are known to have various biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal etc. For this purpose, soak liquor samples from different tanneries were collected and eight isolates from these samples were identified by cultural and molecular techniques. Also, the antibacterial effects of acetone extracts of Hypogymnia physodes, Evernia divaricata, Pseudevernia furfuracea and Usnea sp. at different concentrations were tested on these isolates. They were all Gram (+), rod shaped, oxidase (+), catalase (+), protease (+). Six isolates had lipase activities. The isolates were assigned to Bacillus toyonensis, B. mojavensis, B. subtilis, B. amyloliquefaciens, B. velezensis, B. cereus, and B. licheniformis in molecular analyses. The acetone extracts of Evernia divaricata totally killed B. toyonensis, B. mojavensis, B. amyloliquefaciens, and B. subtilis at the concentrations of 240, 120, 60 and 30 µg/ml, respectively. These extracts had also significant antibacterial efficacies on B. cereus, B. velezensis, B. licheniformis at the concentration of 240 µg/ml. The acetone extracts of P. furfuracea had a great inhibitory effect on the growth of most species (80.24-88.65%) only at the concentration of 240 µg/ml. H. physodes acetone extracts totally killed B. amyloliquefaciens and had considerably high suppressive effect on the growth of other tested bacteria at the concentrations of 120 and 240 µg/ml. Usnea sp. acetone extracts had inhibitory effect on Bacillus species (86.6-97.9%) even at the 30 µg/ml concentration. In this respect, lichens may provide an alternative approach for the leather industry to overcome bacterial resistance to the antibacterial agents.

MODELING THE FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE QUADRATURE THREE-LOOP L-BAND WAVELENGTH BRIDGE
Authors: АЛЕКСЕЙЧИК Л.В. , АНДРИЕВСКИЙ Н.В.
Published: September 2021

Представлены результаты численного моделирования частотныххарактеристик квадратурного трехшлейфового моста (КШМ) L-диапазона, выполненного на основе симметричной полосковой линии с воздушным заполнением. Цель работы - установление допустимого уровня вносимых тепловых потерь полосковых линий (или других типов линий передачи), не оказывающих заметного влияния на рабочие характеристики КШМ, удовлетворяющие требуемым параметрам. Метод расчета основан на принципе декомпозиции электрической цепи КШМ на шесть симметричных 6-полюсников, три из которых соответствуют нечетной моде возбуждения КШМ, а три других - четной моде возбуждения КШМ. Алгебраическое суммирование матриц рассеяния указанных мод позволило получить частотные характеристики результирующей S-матрицы рассеяния КШМ. Нормирование S-матрицы к стандартному волновому сопротивлению 50 Ом выполнено с помощью вычисления собственных значений матриц рассеяния эквивалентных 4-полюсников КШМ. Моделирование проведено в среде LabVIEW.

The paper presents the results of numerical simulation of the frequency characteristics of the L-range quadrature three-loop bridge (QLB), based on the symmetric striped line with air filling. The purpose of the study is to establish the permissible level of introduced thermal losses of strip lines (or other types of transmission lines) that do not significantly affect the performance characteristics of the QLB, satisfying the required parameters. The calculation method is based on the principle of decomposition of the QLB electric circuit into six symmetric 6-poles, three of which correspond to the odd excitation mode of the QLB, and the other three correspond to the even excitation mode of the QLB. Algebraic summation of the scattering matrices of these modes made it possible to obtain frequency characteristics of the resulting S-scattering matrix of the qLb. The normalization of the S-matrix to the standard wave resistance of 50 Ohms was carried out using the calculation of the eigenvalues of the scattering matrices of equivalent 4-poles of the QLB. The simulation was carried out in the LabVIEW environment.

MICROABRASÃO DO ESMALTE
Authors: de Lemos Costa Karini
Published: September 2021

Enamel defects are described as changes in its structure characterized by local decrease or loss of its translucency from fluorosis, hypocalcifications, hypoplasias and inactive carious lesions with superficial and medium depth. The microabrasion of enamel selectively promotes the removal of its surface layer that presents color or structure modification through a mixture of abrasive and erosive agents mechanically. The association of these agents exposes a sub-layer of enamel with normal characteristics. This procedure can be used alone or associated with one or more aesthetic treatments, such as tooth whitening and composite resin restorations. Objective: to approach the microabrasion technique applied in dental enamel with changes in color and structure. Methodology: a non-systematic review of the scientific literature, published from 2009 to 2019, was carried out in the Virtual Health Library and in the academic Google. The inclusion criteria were articles in Portuguese and English, published in the last 10 years, that addressed the proposed theme. Conclusion: Dental microabrasion is a good alternative for aesthetic treatment for changes in the superficial structure of dental enamel, fluorosis and hypoplasia, because it wears little dental structure, restores aesthetics, does not cause damage to the pulp or periodontal tissues, requires little treatment time, does not require cavitary preparation, nor restorative material and is low cost. Aesthetic dissatisfaction is a concern of patients of all ages and the diagnosis of dental fluorosis should be the result of careful anamnesis and it should be taken into account that the etiology may be of various origins.

Published: September 2021

Blind is a term used to define the human condition given a privilege by God in the sense of sight, this condition makes blind people have a little difficulty in carrying out daily activities. Money is a primary human need and is very important for daily buying and selling transactions. Indonesian money, especially paper money, has an embossed line that can help people with visual impairments a little, but there is some money circulating in the market that is damaged or missing lines of appearance which makes it difficult for blind people to recognize the nominal of the money. The research was conducted at the “AISYIYAH” Orphanage for the Blind in Ponorogo by conducting several interviews with blind people, the informants provided information that they could recognize money on a daily basis but only applies to banknotes with good condition and the latest output, for damaged banknotes. or the old output is hard to identify. To help the blind recognize money, an android-based application was designed with the Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm which is a type of string matching algorithm. This algorithm is a development algorithm from the previous algorithm, namely the Brute Force algorithm. The final result of this study shows that the android application designed using the Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm is able to recognize nominal money with an accuracy rate of 100%.

Detection of Rolling-Element Bearing Faults in Non-stationary Quasi-Parallel Machinery Using Residual Analysis Augmented by Neural Networks
Authors: Helm Dustin , Timusk Markus
Published: September 2021

This work proposes a methodology for the detection of rolling-element bearing faults in quasi-parallel machinery. In the context of this work, parallel machinery is considered to be any group of identical components of a mechanical system that are linked to operate on the same duty cycle.  Quasi-parallel machinery can further be defined as two components not identical mechanically, but their operating conditions are correlated and they operate in the same environmental conditions. Furthermore, a new fault detection architecture is proposed wherein a feed-forward neural network (FFNN) is utilized to identify the relationship between signals. The proposed technique is based on the analysis of a calculated residual between feature vectors from two separate components. This technique is designed to reduce the effects of changes in the machines operating state on the condition monitoring system. When a fault detection system is monitoring multiple components in a larger system that are mechanically linked, signals and information that can be gleaned from the system can be used to reduce influences from factors that are not related to condition. The FFNN is used to identify the relationship between the feature vectors from two quasi-parallel components and eliminate the difference when no fault is present. The proposed method is tested on vibration data from two gearboxes that are connected in series. The gearboxes contain bearings operating at different speeds and gear mesh frequencies. In these conditions, a variety of rolling-element bearing faults are detected. The results indicate that improvement in fault detection accuracy can be achieved by using the additional information available from the quasi-parallel machine. The proposed method is directly compared to a typical AANN novelty detection scheme.

Ritratto dell’artista da effeminato. Agatone e Zambinella
Authors: Beltrametti Anna
Published: September 2021

The essay starts from the figure of the poet-gynnis, Agatone, with whom Aristophanes opens the Thesmophoriazusae’s seemingly conventional plot, that heightened the men/women historically binary opposition in the Athenian polis. The elusive and metamorphic figure of the effeminate-asexual poet, who explicitly recalls an Aeschilean representation of Dionysus, the god of the theatre, strongly confirms the familiarity of Aristophanes with the Orphic-Dionysian sphere also attested in his masterpiece The Birds and in Plato’s Symposium. Aristophanes’ attention for the reasons of this line of thought, an alternative to the dominant thought in the city, has obvious implications of political and social criticism towards the historically established order and, at the same time, poses the topic of theatre and poetry. The gynnis is a poet’s ambiguous portrait and, in this particular comedy, it also questions the reasons and working of dramatization between mimesis and fantastic deformation.
«Sei troppo effemminato. / Di femmina son nato». Infrazione di codici e fluidità di genere in alcuni libretti d’opera del Seicento veneziano
Authors: Melis Alessandro
Published: September 2021

The fear that man, subjected to practices considered emasculating, could “regress” to the female state was culturally central in the early modern definition of the man-woman polarity. In this context, effeminacy was used as a stigma against practices to be banned or controlled and was among the main accusations raised by the religious controversy against the emerging professional theatre. Through the close reading of some librettos produced in Venice between 1641 and 1668, the essay aims to show how the authors appropriated some tòpoi of the antitheatrical controversy, building an artistic acrobatics in which love was seen as a “disease” capable of removing the hero’s virility and was observed within a practice (theatre, and especially opera) which was itself considered effeminate and emasculating. The essay revolves around a progressive intensification of ambiguities, transvestitisms and allusions, showing how the librettists of Venetian opera also attempted an investigation of gender codes at the textual level and pushed themselves to the limit beyond which the mechanism of censorship inevitably triggered.

Authors: Muhammad Abid Malik  , Sameen Azmat  , Sadia Bashir
Published: September 2021

This study investigates the level of social interaction, its determinants and influence on the instructors’ motivation and work efficiency in an online university in Pakistan. Exploratory case study design has been used for this purpose. Data was gathered through participant observations and one-to-one interviews. Ten interviews were conducted from instructors belonging to four different departments. Observations were carried out for a period of one month. The study revealed that in the online university, level of social interaction was lower than a traditional one. Instructors pointed out various reasons behind it including high workload, seating arrangements, and attitude of some of the heads. Even when they had free time and opportunities, most of the them preferred browsing through the internet or chatting with their fellows through computers. It appeared that the online culture and intense human-computer interaction had made them addicted to machines. Almost all the instructors agreed that higher and better level of social interaction would improve their job motivation, work efficiency and institutional attachment. They suggested more relaxed environment, trips and social gathering, workshops and conferences involving all the departments, sports week for the faculty members, and facilities like canteen and staffroom for improved social interaction and work experience.

Employment Creation and Extreme Poverty Eradication through Open and Distance eLearning and Technical-Vocational Education and Training in Zimbabwe
Authors: Betty Kutukwa Mutambanengwe  , Ignatius Isaac Dambudzo
Published: September 2021

This study explored how Open and Distance eLearning (ODeL) system is enhancing employment creation and extreme poverty eradication in Zimbabwe. Poverty is a challenge in developing countries in the presence of unemployment and lack of education. This study aimed to put into perspective the strides made by ODeL institutions in Zimbabwe towards extreme poverty eradication through TVET in the education system. Data were collected from purposively selected 20 ODeL graduates including; entrepreneurs, street vendors, and individuals, formally and informally employed, by using interviews and observation, in this case study. The study employed thematic analysis for the narrative qualitative data. The study revealed that poverty can be reduced through skills empowerment to learners at all educational levels. Exposure to a bouquet of vocational subjects in technical-vocational institutions has enabled entrepreneurs to create employment, applying acquired skills. The major barriers to effective entrepreneurship and employment creation were the scarcity of resources and natural disasters. The study is also significant that educational planners and policy-makers may formulate policies that encourage school and college graduates to be innovative, self-reliant, and may guard against extreme poverty in their communities. It can be concluded that possession and application of vocational skills may create employment and eradicate extreme poverty. It is, therefore, recommended that TVET starts early in life for innovativeness and effective use of available resources. Further research could be carried out on the nature of programmes in learning institutions that empower learners with skills for employment creation, sustainable development, and extreme poverty eradication.

Salah satu materi pelajaran bahasa Inggris yang menjadi dasar untuk belajar pada level selanjutnya adalah berhitung dalam bahasa Inggris (mathematic). Disebabkan pelajaran bahasa Inggris sangat berbeda dengan bahasa Indonesia sebagai bahasa ibu, seorang guru harus menerapkan konsep belajar yang menarik. “Dhako” sebagai sebuah permainan berkearifan lokal merupakan sebuah variabel yang penting untuk dijadikan media pembelajaran agar siswa tidak kehilangan nilai-nilai kedaerahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efisiensi permainan “dhako” pada pembelajaran berhitung dalam bahasa inggris (mathematic).

Penelitian ini menggunakan quasy-eksperimen dengan pre-post test. Dari total dua puluh satu siswa dibagi dalam kelompok kontrol dan eksperimen dengan menggunakan metode random. Uji statistik menggunakan Paired T Test, Levene's Test, dan Independent T Test. Hasil pada uji Paired T Test Paired Sample Test diketahui terdapat perbedaan rata-rata antara hasil belajar pre test dan post nilai signifikansi (2-tailed) sebesar 0,002 < 0,05. Levene's Test for Equality of Variances adalah sebesar 0,882 > 0,05 yang berarti kelas Intervensi dan kelas Kontrol adalah sama atau homogen. Independent Samples Test sebesar 0,039 < 0,05 menyimpulkan bahwa ada perbedaan efektifitas yang signifikan (nyata) antara penggunaan permainan dhako pada pembelajaran berhitung dalam bahasa inggris (mathematic) dan tidak menggunakan permainan dhako pada pembelajaran berhitung dalam bahasa inggris (mathematic) bagi siswa kelas 5 SDN AENGDAKE I.

Published: September 2021

A epilepsia é uma das doenças neurológicas mais prevalentes nos cães e é uma condição crônica de crises recorrentes. Apesar de existirem diversos medicamentos para o seu tratamento, muitos pacientes sofrem com seus efeitos tóxicos ou não obtêm o controle desejado das crises. Para esses pacientes, o uso da planta Cannabis sativa torna-se uma valiosa alternativa. A combinação farmacológica entre canabidiol e tetrahidrocanabinol apresenta-se como a melhor opção para o tratamento das crises epilépticas em humanos, com efeitos deletérios praticamente inexistentes e resposta terapêutica eficiente. O presente trabalho revisou a fisiopatologia da epilepsia e como a Cannabis sativa atua no seu controle. Concluiu-se que, na Medicina Veterinária, essa planta pode ser uma opção de tratamento para os animais que não conseguem reduzir a frequência, a duração ou a intensidade das crises epilépticas com os medicamentos disponíveis, por isso, faz-se necessário a realização de mais estudos em animais.

Locus amoenus i locus horridus – w poezji Oskara Miłosza. Rozważania
Authors: Ratuszna Hanna
Published: September 2021

The presented considerations are an attempt to analyse such concepts as memory and dream, in which the image of the “country of childhood” plays an important role. Oskar Miłosz returns in his work, including the poem entitled In the Country of His Childhood Years (from the volume Les Sept Solitudes from 1906), to the past from where he extracts memories of Lithuania. The past is a place for him, time – marked by sensuality – is both locus amoenus and locus horridus. By “imagination creating” the poet suggests various images of symbolic character; the lyrical subject of his poems exists “among the ruins”. Like Baudelaire in the poem Swan, or Nerval – he wanders around Paris, looking for traces of his homeland in a new space. He is like Orpheus who gains wisdom and mystery in loss. The analysis of selected works by Oskar and Czesław Miłosz, the memory of their family relations, allow to understand their artistic choices and the longing for Lithuania, the “country of childhood”, which is inscribed in their works.
