Process Optimization for the Extraction of Phenolic Compounds from Pomegranate Peels: Response Surface Methodology-Desirability Function and Artificial Neural Network-Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Uca Esra , Güleç Hacı Ali
Published: March 2024

Valorization of agricultural wastes is ongoing topic in industry. Determining the best conditions by artificial neural networks based optimization techniques is the key step to extract valuable compounds efficiently and to obtain high quality extracts. In this study, the response surface methodology (RSM)-desirability function (DF) and artificial neural network (ANN)-genetic algorithm (GA) approaches were compared in modeling and optimization the extraction parameters (temperature, time and ethanol concentration (ratio of ethanol to water, % v/v)) of phenolic compounds in pomegranate peels. The ANN-GA approach providing higher coefficient of determination and lower root mean square deviation showed better predictive capability than the RSM. The optimum time (81.4 min) and ethanol concentration (15.7%) of RSM-DF approach shifted to the lower levels (78.8 min and 15.3%) with the ANN-GA approach while the optimum temperature (54.0°C) shifted to a higher level (59.3°C). The use of these values provided total phenolic content of >1000 mg GAE L-1 and the corresponding antioxidant activity was 11 mmol TE L-1. As a result, increasing temperature up to a critical level decreased the extraction time and ethanol concentration, and it was determined that higher time-temperature combinations must be used for the complete water-based extraction of phenolic compounds from plant wastes in comparison to ethanol-water based extraction.
Nowe parametry geologiczne dla krajowych złóż fosforytów – dyskusja
Authors: Mazurek Sławomir , Roszkowska-Remin Joanna , Bienko Tomasz
Published: March 2024

Rosnące ceny fosforytów i nawozów fosforanowych, silna koncentracja producentów ograniczona do kilku państw na świecie, wyjątkowe znaczenie fosforu w rolnictwie, a dodatkowo brak możliwości jego substytucji to czynniki, które powodują, że fosforyty uznane zostały za surowce krytyczne. Alternatywą dla importu i sposobem na osiągnięcie bezpieczeństwa dostaw może być rozszerzenie i eksploatacja własnej bazy zasobowej. W Polsce fosforyty z północnego obrzeżenia Gór Świętokrzyskich wydobywane były metodą podziemną, której zaniechano od początku lat 70. XX wieku ze względu na brak opłacalności wydobycia. Jednakże w Polsce wschodniej i południowo-wschodniej występują płytko konkrecje fosforytowe wieku eoceńskiego, które mogą mieć lokalnie znaczenie złożowe, a wydobycie ich może odbywać się metodą odkrywkową. Ekonomika wydobycia w płytkich odkrywkach nie wymaga tak rygorystycznych parametrów granicznych dla złóż fosforytów jak obecnie obowiązujące, które dobrane są pod warunki eksploatacji metodą podziemną. W publikacji autorzy przeanalizowali współczesne uwarunkowania opłacalności eksploatacji złóż fosforytów, m.in., dynamikę zmian cen fosforytów, przegląd granicznych parametrów złożowych projektów fosforytowych na świecie i ekonomikę odkrywkowej eksploatacji kopaliny, gdzie jako punkt odniesienia (w Polsce) przyjęto kopalnię kruszyw o eksploatacji mieszanej (w części spod lustra wody). W efekcie zaproponowano dla eoceńskich fosforytów w Polsce nowe, graniczne parametry definiujące złoże i jego granice.
Terapeutyczny wymiar wywiadu socjologicznego: praktyka badawcza w kontekście wyzwań etycznych
Authors: Łuczaj Kamil
Published: March 2024

Artykuł omawia problematykę prowadzenia wywiadów jakościowych w kontekście ich potencjału terapeutycznego oraz potrzeby przygotowania zespołu badawczego do ich realizacji. Opierając się na przykładzie badań własnych z awansującymi społecznie akademikami (2020-2022) oraz projektu dotyczącego biograficznego doświadczenia posttransformacji (2022-), w artykule odpowiadam na następujące pytania: Dlaczego wywiady biograficzne mają potencjał do przeistoczenia się w rozmowę terapeutyczną? W jaki sposób można przygotować się do jego prowadzenia? Kto powinien wydawać zgodę lub rekomendacje dotyczące prowadzenia takiego wywiadu? Ze względu na poruszaną w obu projektach tematykę, wywiad może przekształcić się z typowo socjologicznej formy pomiaru rzeczywistości społecznej w rozmowę o charakterze terapeutycznym lub quasi-terapeutycznym, która zaspokaja potrzeby emocjonalne rozmówców i umożliwia zmianę ich zachowań (m.in. dzięki zwiększonej autorefleksyjności).
Thoughts on the Political Economy of International Trade
Authors: Lewkowicz Jacek
Published: March 2024

International trade appears to be strongly dependent on the political environment and institutional arrangements. In this context, the commented strand of economics is expected to follow the relationships that can be turbulent. The paper reviews the available literature on international trade, with a particular focus on aspects of the political economy. These threads are described in the context of the past and present literature, as well as prospects for future research. Over the decades, the focus of the debate has shifted strongly. The analysed issues reflect not only current events affecting the shape of international trade, but also the availability of data or the growing range of quantitative tools. The observed progress and evolution of the political economy of international trade has brought numerous conclusions of scientific and practical importance.
Firm Heterogeneity and International Trade Liberalisation: A Generalized Cournot Oligopoly Approach
Authors: Cieślik Andrzej
Published: March 2024

The main goal of this article is to contribute to the theoretical analysis of international trade under imperfect competition using the Cournot oligopoly model with heterogeneous firms. In particular, our objective is to provide some insights into the role of cost asymmetry in studying the effects of trade liberalisation in the Cournot oligopoly framework. In order to introduce firm heterogeneity into the oligopoly model we use the generalised Cournot framework with asymmetric firms that differ in terms of their productivity, levels of output and market shares. We show that trade liberalisation leads to the elimination of less productive firms and results in lower equilibrium prices, higher sales per firm and lower markups in the industry.

Published: March 2024

Recommended in this paper, because the existing single objective experience is poor, and the recommended model in a large difference of targets under the complex relationship of joint optimization and the conflict caused by faults, this paper proposes a personalized recommendation based on the deep learning multi-objective optimization algorithm, the estimated probability of users on the individual behavior as a model to study target, Multiple objectives are integrated into a model for learning. Firstly, the embedding layer is used to change the feature vectors, so that the bottom layer of the model shares the same feature embedding. Secondly, the factorization machine and deep learning are used to construct high-low order feature interaction. Then, the gating network and multilevel expert network constructed by a fully connected neural network are used to learn the characteristic relationship of user behavior. Finally, make connections between goals. Through experiments on public and real datasets, The results show that the multi-objective model proposed in this paper has better co-optimization performance and increases the AUC value by 0.1% compared with advanced personalized recommendation models such as MMoE and ESMM, to achieve the ultimate goal of increasing the prediction accuracy and improving user satisfaction.

Authors: Qu WenJing , Wang Zhongsheng
Published: March 2024

In order to meet the needs of military, road construction, multimedia industry and other aspects, UAVs are gradually given more functions. As the basic function of UAV applications, the fixed-point delivery problem model has higher and higher accuracy requirements. However, in the actual scene, the UAV delivery problem is affected by the interaction of various factors such as flight height, air resistance, and dive angle, which makes it difficult to achieve high stability and high hit accuracy. This paper will analyze the complex motion model based on the fixed-point delivery of explosives by UAV, study the relationship between the stability of UAV delivery and the hit accuracy, and analyze the influence of relevant parameters on the problem by using modeling. In this paper, a multivariate nonlinear continuous time change model is proposed, and a continuous time slice discretization idea operation model is introduced to approximate the time slice splitting inside the UAV launch motion. Secondly, the design quantified evaluation index reaction the initial velocity of the explosive, the launch Angle, the height off the ground and other parameters to analyze the model. Finally, the best scheduling strategy is obtained and verified by using the idea of variable traversal and trial- and-error simulation. The experimental results show that the variation of UAV flying height, speed, depression and other interference factors is consistent with the prediction of score and hit accuracy, according to the environment setting of this model, when the UAV is 300 meters above the ground and 290 meters away from the target horizontal position, the delivery speed is 250m/s, and the pitch angle is about 27°, the fixed-point delivery of explosives is the best strategy.
Interdisciplinary cooperation in the outpatient practice: results from a focus group interview with occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and physiotherapists / Gestaltung der interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit in der ambulanten Therapie: Resultate eines Fokusgruppeninterviews mit Ergotherapeut*innen, Logopäd*innen und Physiotherapeut*innen
Authors: Malmendier Maischa , Klas Teresa , Lücking Christiane
Published: March 2024

The complexity and diversity of healthcare conditions, as well as the financial and personnel challenges requires effective interdisciplinary collaboration (IDC) among various healthcare professionals (Robert-Bosch-Stiftung, 2011; Robert Koch Institute, 2015). In contrast to the inpatient practice, IDC has not established yet in primary care settings. There is a lack of concrete solutions that illustrate how IDC can be implemented in outpatient practice (Schmitz, Atzeni & Berchtold, 2020).

The study aims to present realization possibilities of the IDC among occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and physiotherapists based on case examples from outpatient neurorehabilitation practices. Necessary framework conditions and support factors should be identified from successful applications.

In an online focus group, five therapists from three outpatient therapy centers were interviewed about the interdisciplinary measures taking place at their workplace. The therapy centers implemented interdisciplinary team meetings, collaborative target setting and therapy planning as well as co-therapies in their everyday primary care practice. Digital communication channels and the use of digital practice software represent support measures that enable communication independent of location and time. Educational policy changes are needed to impart the corresponding attitudes, knowledge and skills to the healthcare professionals during the vocational training/study.

The results of the study show that IDC can be implemented in the outpatient setting under appropriate conditions. Legal requirements are needed to enable the application of interdisciplinary measures through adequate remuneration systems and available time slots. Further calls address content in vocational trainings/studies to provide a basis for readiness and competencies for IDC.

С другой стороны, предлагаемые образовательные характеристики даны в сравнении с китайскими моделями. В рамках статьи задана кросс-культурная сопоставительная парадигма, в основе которой лежит интеграция лингвистических образцов культуры в образовательные программы Пакистана и КНР. Авторы статьи предпринимают попытку ответить на вопросы о том, каким образом языковые памятники культуры находят своих почитателей в молодежной среде в рамках образовательного пространства двух стран. Важной составляющей фонда нематериального культурного наследия Китая следует считать устное народное творчество, воплощенное в сказочных текстах. Тексты сказок интегрированы в школьные программы по литературе и истории. Народные сказки, вошедшие в школьные программы, любимы миллионами простых китайцев, они дают читателю представление о жизни простых китайцев, культуре и традициях, насчитывающих более тысячи лет. Тексты сказок изобилуют магией и волшебной фантазией, они охватывают всю гамму жанров от романтики и приключений до исторических притч.

This article, on the one hand, is an attempt to present the education system of modern Pakistan through the eyes of a teacher who worked with students and schoolchildren from this country in online and offline modes directly in Pakistan itself, in the city of Islamabad for three months. On the other hand, the proposed educational characteristics are given in comparison with Chinese models. The article sets out a cross-cultural comparative paradigm, which is based on the integration of linguistic samples of culture into the educational programs of Pakistan and China. The authors of the article attempt to answer questions about how linguistic cultural monuments find their admirers among young people within the educational space of the two countries. An important component of China's intangible cultural heritage fund should be considered oral folk art, embodied in fairy-tale texts. Fairy tale texts are integrated into school literature and history curricula. Folk tales included in school curricula are loved by millions of ordinary Chinese, giving the reader an insight into the life of ordinary Chinese, culture and traditions dating back more than a thousand years. The texts of fairy tales are replete with magic and magical fantasy, they cover the entire gamut of genres from romance and adventure to historical parables.

Background: The incidence of Esophagogastric Junction Adenocarcinoma (EJA) has increased in recent years, with surgical resection the main choice of treatment. The optimal length of the proximal margin for EJA is still under debate, and the impact of EJA survival and recurrence remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of the optimal length of the proximal margin on EJA. Methods: From January 2011 to December 2015, 131 patients who had EJA with type II tumors were included and retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent radical R0 resection. The proximal margin was measured promptly after resection, and the frozen-section pathological examination was negative for the margin. Results: There were 3 cases of Siewert type I EJA (2.9%), 75 cases of Siewert type II EJA (57.9%), and 53 cases (40.1%) of Siewert type III EJA. The median number of lymph nodes examined was 19 (range: 1-41), and the median number of positive lymph nodes was 2 (range: 0–18). Sixty-three patients underwent total gastrectomy (48.1%), and 68 underwent proximal gastrectomy (51.9%). The median follow-up time was 57.3 months: (range 1.9–174.1); 34 patients (26%) relapsed and 74 (56.5%) died. The 5-year overall survival rate of type II tumor patients was 68.2%, and that of type III tumor patients was 38.5% (P=0.02). For patients with a proximal margin <2cm, the median recurrence time was 41.6 months, whereas it was for 42.8 months for patients with proximal margin >2cm (log–rank: 0.496). Our data analysis found that a proximal margin length of 2cm was a prognostic variable for type II and type III tumors. Conclusions: There are a number of factors associated with recurrence and overall survival at 5 years for patients who have EJA with type II and type III tumors, and a proximal margin >2cm may indicate better prognosis.

A 26-year-old male patient, with a 3-days history of peri-umbilical pain which had localized to the right iliac fossa by the time he attended the hospital, was admitted to the emergency department of our hospital. The abdominal examination revealed a soft abdomen, rebound tenderness in the right iliacfossa, and a positive psoas sign. He was not peritonitic and had a negative Rosving's sign and absenthernias. Blood tests showed a mild leucocytosis of 12.5×109/l (range, 4.0–11.0×109/l) with a neutrophilia of 10.5×109/l (range. 2.0–7.5×109/l) and a CRP of 90mg/l. Ultrasonography confirmed a diagnosis of appendicitis by the presence of free fluid within the RIF and within the 10mm appendix which was incompressible. Under general anesthesia, the surgical exploration by laparotomy revealed the presence of acute appendicitis, but the meticulous investigation of the area around the cecum detected a second appendix with a definite mesoappendix and obvious signs of inflammation (Figure 1). Formal appendectomy was then performed for both processes (Figure 2).

Background: Local flap reconstruction is the most common method to repair facial defects. In this study, authors have explored and introduced a modified suture technique with rotation flap to repair facial defects that makes scarring more discreet and easier to perform. Methods: Patients with facial defects who underwent surgical treatment of the rotation flaps reconstructions and were admitted to our department between October 2014 and October 2019 were included in this retrospective study. The rotating flap is designed along the Relaxed Skin Tension Line (RSTLs) and contour lines, parts of patients received modified suture depending on the shape and size of the defect. Observe the flaps’ survival and complications. Assessments of the scars with Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) regularly and follow-ups. Results: This five-year retrospective study evaluated a total of 56 patients; of these, 45 patients underwent modified suture surgery, the average defects were 19.7±4.5×25.5±5.2mm, and the average duration of follow-up was 13.8±5.0 months. Scar appearance was evaluated using the VSS score, range from 0-5, with an average of 1.6±1.1, and mainly reflected in pigmentation and vascularity. Postsurgical scar concealment is made afterward, and all flaps survive. No hemodynamic disorder or necrosis was found. Conclusion: The rotation flap was designed based on RSTLs/ contour lines to repair the facial defect and make the scarring well concealed. The modified suture method makes the flap line consistent with the RSTLs/ contour line of the facial skin to the maximum extent and leads to better facial aesthetics results.

Tonsillectomy is one of the most frequent surgical procedures done worldwide. While the surgical procedure may take less than 10 minutes, there is a significant related morbidity due to per- and post-operative bleeding, post-operative pain and delayed return to normal activity and diet [1]. There is no consensus on the optimal method and device for surgery; use of cold dissection or coblation or diathermia scissors, with electro-cautery as needed; are advocated by different authors. The BIZact ™ vessel seal instrument (Medtronic, Mansfield, MA, USA) is a new technology with continuous measurements of tissue impedance, in order to deliver minimally bipolar energy for dissection and vessel sealing, with minimal thermal damage of remaining tissue [2]. The purpose of the present prospective, partly double-blinded study, was to evaluate the usefulness of BIZact for surgery in a population of adult tonsillectomy patients, in terms of: safety, bleeding, perioperative easiness and time consume, as well as postoperative parameters such as pain, resumption of oral intake, bleeding and overall satisfaction.
