Capnography for the veterinary nurse
Authors: Clancy Niamh
Published: June 2023

According to reports, small animal anaesthesia appears to be increasing in safety. However, greater patient care during the peri-anaesthetic period would further reduce fatalities. While there is no direct evidence to prove that the use of capnography can reduce the risk of mortality, it has been shown to prevent morbidities and has allowed for the early detection of complications before significant physiological side effects are seen. Capnography is becoming more commonplace in veterinary practice; however, it is reported that not all registered veterinary nurses feel comfortable with its use. This article provides detailed information on capnography so that registered veterinary nurses will be more knowledgeable and confident in using this method to detect and correct any issues that arise.
Extremal problems for the eccentricity matrices of complements of trees
Authors: Mahato Iswar , Kannan M. Rajesh
Published: June 2023

The eccentricity matrix of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $\mathcal{E}(G)$, is obtained from the distance matrix of $G$ by keeping the largest nonzero entries in each row and each column and leaving zeros in the remaining ones. The $\mathcal{E}$-eigenvalues of $G$ are the eigenvalues of $\mathcal{E}(G)$. The largest modulus of an eigenvalue is the $\mathcal{E}$-spectral radius of $G$. The $\mathcal{E}$-energy of $G$ is the sum of the absolute values of all $\mathcal{E}$-eigenvalues of $G$. In this article, we study some of the extremal problems for eccentricity matrices of complements of trees and characterize the extremal graphs. First, we determine the unique tree whose complement has minimum (respectively, maximum) $\mathcal{E}$-spectral radius among the complements of trees. Then, we prove that the $\mathcal{E}$-eigenvalues of the complement of a tree are symmetric about the origin. As a consequence of these results, we characterize the trees whose complement has minimum (respectively, maximum) least $\mathcal{E}$-eigenvalues among the complements of trees. Finally, we discuss the extremal problems for the second largest $\mathcal{E}$-eigenvalue and the $\mathcal{E}$-energy of complements of trees and characterize the extremal graphs. As an application, we obtain a Nordhaus-Gaddum-type lower bounds for the second largest $\mathcal{E}$-eigenvalue and $\mathcal{E}$-energy of a tree and its complement.
Efficient dynamic tunable metasurface based on Ge2Sb2Te5 in the near infrared band

Published: June 2023

For effective wavefront management in the optical infrared range, dynamic all-dielectric metasurfaces, always based on phase transition materials, particularly Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST), can be used. In this paper, we propose a GST-based tunable metasurface by structuring the phase-change material GST. We confirm that the nanopillar we designed has high transmittance in the wavelength band around 1550 nm and can fully cover the 0∼2π phase. Based on these characteristics, we can achieve beam steering and a focusing effect in amorphous phase by elaborately arranging GST nanopillars, while the aforementioned optical phenomena disappear in crystalline phase. Additionally, by arranging the array of vortex phases, we also realize switching the perfect composite vortex beam (PCVB) when changing the crystal state of GST, and simulate the generation of PCVB with different topological charges and sizes in amorphous phase. We believe that our research results can serve as a reference for multifunctional optical surfaces, dynamic optical control, optical communication, and information processing.

Effect of particle size and concentration on low-frequency terahertz scattering in granular compacts [Invited]
Authors: Murphy Keir N. , Naftaly Mira , Nordon Alison , Markl Daniel
Published: June 2023

Fundamental knowledge of scattering in granular compacts is essential to ensure accuracy of spectroscopic measurements and determine material characteristics such as size and shape of scattering objects. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) was employed to investigate the effect of particle size and concentration on scattering in specially fabricated compacts consisting of borosilicate microspheres in a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) matrix. As expected, increasing particle size leads to an increase in overall scattering contribution. Scattering increases linearly at low concentrations, saturates at higher concentrations with a maximum level depending on particle size, and that the onset of saturation is independent of particle size. The effective refractive index becomes sublinear at high particle concentrations and exceeds the linear model at maximum density, which can cause errors in calculations based on it, such as porosity. The observed phenomena are attributed to the change in the fraction of photons propagating ballistically versus being scattered. At low concentrations, photons travel predominately ballistically through the PTFE matrix. At high concentrations, the photons again propagate ballistically through adjacent glass microspheres. In the intermediate regime, photons are predominately scattered.

Refraction-based x-ray imaging can overcome the fundamental contrast limit of computed tomography (CT), particularly in soft tissue, but so far has been constrained to high-dose ex vivo applications or required highly coherent x-ray sources, such as synchrotrons. Here we demonstrate that grating interferometry (GI) is more dose efficient than conventional CT in imaging of human breast under close-to-clinical conditions. Our system, based on a conventional source and commercial gratings, outperformed conventional CT for spatial resolutions better than 263 µm and absorbed dose of 16 mGy. The sensitivity of GI is constrained by grating fabrication, and further progress will lead to significant improvements of clinical CT.

Low-intensity light detection necessitates high-responsivity photodetectors. To achieve this, we report In0.53Ga0.47As/InAs/In0.53Ga0.47As quantum well (InAs QW) photo-field-effect-transistors (photo-FETs) integrated on a Si substrate using direct wafer bonding. Structure of the InAs QW channel was carefully designed to achieve higher effective mobility and a narrower bandgap compared with a bulk In0.53Ga0.47As, while suppressing the generation of defects due to lattice relaxations. High-performance 2.6 nm InAs QW photo-FETs were successfully demonstrated with a high on/off ratio of 105 and a high effective mobility of 2370  cm2/(V·s). The outstanding transport characteristics in the InAs QW channel result in an optical responsivity 1.8 times greater than InGaAs photo-FETs and the fast rising/falling times. Further, we experimentally confirmed that the InAs QW photo-FET can detect light in the short-wavelength infrared (SWIR; 1.0–2.5 μm) near 2 μm thanks to bandgap engineering through InAs QW structures. Our result suggests that the InAs QW photo-FET is promising for high-responsivity and extended-range SWIR photodetector applications.

Published: June 2023

Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptors X1-X4 (MRGPRX1-X4) are 4 primate-specific receptors that are recently reported to be responsible for many biological processes, including itch sensation, pain transmission, and inflammatory reactions. MRGPRX1 is the first identified human MRGPR, and its expression is restricted to primary sensory neurons. Due to its dual roles in itch and pain signaling pathways, MRGPRX1 has been regarded as a promising target for itch remission and pain inhibition. Here, we reported a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of Gq-coupled MRGPRX1 in complex with a synthetic agonist compound 16 in an active conformation at an overall resolution of 3.0 Å via a NanoBiT tethering strategy. Compound 16 is a new pain-relieving compound with high potency and selectivity to MRGPRX1 over other MRGPRXs and opioid receptor. MRGPRX1 was revealed to share common structural features of the Gq-mediated receptor activation mechanism of MRGPRX family members, but the variable residues in orthosteric pocket of MRGPRX1 exhibit the unique agonist recognition pattern, potentially facilitating to design MRGPRX1-specific modulators. Together with receptor activation and itch behavior evaluation assays, our study provides a structural snapshot to modify therapeutic molecules for itch relieving and analgesia targeting MRGPRX1.
The biomechanics of chewing and suckling in the infant: A potential mechanism for physiologic metopic suture closure

Published: June 2023

Craniosynostosis is a condition with neurologic and aesthetic sequelae requiring invasive surgery. Understanding its pathobiology requires familiarity with the processes underlying physiologic suture closure. Animal studies have shown that cyclical strain from chewing and suckling influences the closure of cranial vault sutures, especially the metopic, an important locus of craniosynostosis. However, there are no human data correlating strain patterns during chewing and suckling with the physiologically early closure pattern of the metopic suture. Furthermore, differences in craniofacial morphology make it challenging to directly extrapolate animal findings to humans. Eight finite-element analysis (FEA) models were built from craniofacial computer tomography (CT) scans at varying stages of metopic suture closure, including two with isolated non-syndromic metopic craniosynostosis. Muscle forces acting on the cranium during chewing and suckling were simulated using subject-specific jaw muscle cross-sectional areas. Chewing and suckling induced tension at the metopic and sagittal sutures, and compressed the coronal, lambdoid, and squamous sutures. Relative to other cranial vault sutures, the metopic suture experienced larger magnitudes of axial strain across the suture and a lower magnitude of shear strain. Strain across the metopic suture decreased during suture closure, but other sutures were unaffected. Strain patterns along the metopic suture mirrored the anterior to posterior sequence of closure: strain magnitudes were highest at the glabella and decreased posteriorly, with minima at the nasion and the anterior fontanelle. In models of physiologic suture closure, increased degree of metopic suture closure correlated with higher maximum principal strains across the frontal bone and mid-face, a strain regime not observed in models of severe metopic craniosynostosis. In summary, our work provides human evidence that bone strain patterns from chewing and suckling correlate with the physiologically early closure pattern of the metopic suture, and that deviations from physiologic strain regimes may contribute to clinically observed craniofacial dysmorphism.

Published: June 2023

Purpose

To evaluate the differences in structural parameters in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG), high myopia (M), and both diseases (OAG-M) concurrently.

Methods

42 subjects with OAG (n = 14), M (n = 14) and OAG-M (n = 14) were included in a prospective pilot study. Mean peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, RNFL in superior, temporal, inferior, nasal quadrants, macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) and its’ layers, vessel density (VD) of optic nerve head (ONH) and macula were evaluated.

Results

The OAG-M group showed significantly lowest thickness of mean peripapillary RNFL 89 (49–103) μm (p = 0.021), temporal quadrant 64.5 (51–109) μm (p = 0.001) and inferior quadrant 107 (64–124) μm (p = 0.025). The macular RNFL was thinnest in the OAG-M group (p <0.001). Macular VD in inferior quadrant was lowest in OAG-M group at superficial capillary plexus 45.92 (40.39–51.72) % (p = 0.014) and choriocapillaris 51.62 (49.87–56.63) % (p = 0.035). The lowest ONH VD of temporal quadrant was found in the OAG-M group 52.15 (35.73–59.53) % (p = 0.001) in the superficial capillary plexus. Similarly, the lowest VD of inferior quadrant was found in OAG-M group in the choriocapillaris 54.42 (46.31–64.64) % (p<0.001).

Conclusions

The M group showed the least thinning in the peripapillary RNFL thickness in the temporal quadrant and macular RNFL compared to other two groups. The highest macular VD in the inferior quadrant was in the M group in the superficial capillary plexus, deep capillary plexus and choriocapillaris. The M group showed highest VD in the temporal quadrant and in total VD of ONH at the superficial capillary plexus and in total VD of ONH at the deep capillary plexus.

Practical recommendations

The observed decrease in peripapillary RNFL thickness of the temporal quadrant, macular RNFL thickness, the decrease of macular VD at the inferior quadrant and decrease in VD of the ONH temporal quadrant in deep capillary plexus could be beneficial for diagnosing glaucoma in high myopia.

Macrolide usage in Japan exceeds that in Europe and the United States. Investigating the actual conditions in which macrolides are used is important for identifying further interventions for appropriate antimicrobial use; however, this situation has not been evaluated in Japan. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the number of macrolide prescriptions and their changes before and after implementation of the Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Action Plan. In addition, we also investigated the names of diseases for which macrolides have been prescribed and the number of days of prescription. A retrospective observational study was conducted using JMDC claims data from January 2013 to December 2018. The proportion of all oral antimicrobials and macrolides used during this period and the diseases for which macrolides were used in the 3 years before and after the AMR Action Plan were determined separately for acute (< 14 prescription days) and chronic (> 14 prescription days) diseases. The number of prescriptions for macrolides constituted approximately 30% of those for all oral antimicrobials; of these, clarithromycin accounted for approximately 60%. Most prescriptions for acute diseases were for common cold, whereas allergic and dermatological diseases were included among chronic diseases. The names of these illnesses did not change before and after the AMR Action Plan. Overall, these results indicate that appropriate macrolide use involves a review of their use for common cold along with appropriate evaluation of their long-term use for skin and allergic diseases. They also indicate the need for further fact-finding studies and ongoing AMR measures.

A limited number of studies focus on the effect of core training on basketball players’ athletic performance and skills. This systematic reviewaimed to comprehensively and critically review the available studies in the literature that investigate the impact of core training on basketball players’ physical and skill performance, and then offer valuable recommendations for both coaches and researchers. Thedata collection, selection, and analysis adhered to the PRISMA protocol. English databases, including Ebscohost, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar,were searched until September 2022. A total of eight articles were included, with four studies comparing the effects of core training versus traditional strength training or usual basketball training. All studies investigated the impact of core training on athletic performance. The findings revealed that core training can help players improve their overall athletic and skill performance, particularly in the areas of strength, sprinting,jumping, balance, agility, shooting, dribbling, passing, rebounding, and stepping. In addition, core training, particularly on unstable surfaces,as well as combining static and dynamic core training,improvebasketball players’ athletic and skill performance. Despite the relativelylittle evidence demonstrating the effect of core training on endurance, flexibility, and defensive skills, this review demonstrates that it should be incorporated into basketball training sessions.

Published: June 2023

Background

Pharmacotherapy is necessary for many people with psychiatric disorders and polypharmacy is common. The psychotropic drug-drug interaction (DDI) should be concerned and efficiently monitored by a proper instrument.

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of psychotropic DDI and to compare the identification utility from three databases: Drugs.com®, Lexicomp®, and Epocrates®.

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort design. We collected demographic and clinical data of all patients hospitalised in the psychiatric inpatient unit in 2020. Psychotropic DDI profiles were examined through three databases. Descriptive statistics were used to report comprehensiveness of each database and prevalence of psychotropic DDI. The Fleiss’ kappa index would be analysed to indicate agreement strength of DDI severity classification among three databases.

Results

From 149 total admissions, the psychotropic DDIs were found in 148 admissions (99.3%). Thorough the study, there were 182 of both psychotropic and other agents prescribed under 1,357 prescriptions. In total, 2,825 psychotropic DDIs were identified by using Drugs.com® 2,500 times, Epocrates® 2,269 times, and Lexicomp® 2,265 times. Interactions with clonazepam was the three most frequent agents when co-administrated with quetiapine (n = 56), risperidone (n = 36), and valproic acid and derivatives (n = 36). Serious DDIs were comparatively lower in incidence and there was no evidence of its association with reported clinical adverse consequences. The study revealed slight and fair agreement regarding severity classification among the three databases was found. DDI events detected by Drugs.com® were greatest in number, but Lexicomp® provided the broadest list of medications prescribed in our study.

Conclusion

Among three databases, interactions detected by Drugs.com® were greatest in number, whereas Lexicomp® provided the broadest list of medications. Development of such databases, based on both theoretical and clinical conceptions, should be focused to balance safety of patients and weariness of healthcare providers.
A vueltas con la formación en materia de prevención de riesgos laborales de las personas trabajadoras: aspectos críticos
Authors: Poquet Catala Raquel
Published: June 2023

La formación de las personas trabajadoras constituye un eje clave, tanto para el desarrollo profesional y la promoción de la persona trabajadora en su carrera profesional, como para la productividad y la competitividad empresarial. De ahí, que la formación sea reconocida como un derecho de las personas trabajadoras, pero también como una obligación de las mismas. En este trabajo se lleva a cabo un análisis legal, doctrinal y judicial de los aspectos más problemáticos de la formación de las personas trabajadoras. Por un lado, su consideración como obligación, especialmente, en materia de prevención de riesgos laborales, y todo lo que ello conlleva. Por otro lado, su catalogación como tiempo de trabajo, lo cual supone tanto la obligación de que se realice, principalmente, en horario de trabajo, y en el supuesto de que así no sea posible, su compensación, así como también la retribución correspondiente.
La formación en los nuevos yacimientos de empleo (empleos digitales, verdes) con especial atención a la perspectiva de género
Authors: Alvarez Cuesta Henar
Published: June 2023

Las profundas transformaciones que las sociedades están experimentando tienen una notable repercusión en el sistema productivo. El artículo explora algunas de estas mutaciones (tecnológicas, ecológicas o demográficas), de las que se derivan nuevas necesidades en el ámbito productivo. Estas transformaciones precisan anticipar los requerimientos que en materia formativa han de hacer frente las personas trabajadoras que actualmente están desempeñando esas actividades. Para ello, se analizan los yacimientos de empleo con mayor “carga de futuro”, la formación o recualificación necesaria requerida por esas ocupaciones y las dificultades que pueden acompañar a las personas trabajadoras a la hora de acceder a una u otra, en particular la brecha digital por razón de género. El impacto de los cambios en cada sector y empresa es (puede ser) diferente y a los interlocutores sociales corresponde hallar la mejor vía para proteger los puestos de trabajo y mejorar (o mantener) las condiciones laborales anteriores sin perjudicar tampoco la buena marcha de la unidad productiva. Precisamente es el objetivo a alcanzar por las estrategias de transición justa (medioambiental y también tecnológica).
Las relaciones laborales en la agricultura intensiva de la región de Murcia: el papel de la acción sindical y de la negociación colectiva en la construcción de su marco regulatorio

Published: June 2023

La acción sindical de colectivos de personas trabajadoras en el sector agrario, así como su participación en las mesas de negociación para la concertación de acuerdos entre capital y trabajo, ha tenido históricamente un peso muy relevante en la construcción y evolución del trabajo agrícola en la Región de Murcia. Por ello, resulta de interés conocer y comprender el contexto social y sindical del trabajo en el campo y el almacén murcianos. Partiendo de las implicaciones del nuevo sistema productivo implantado desde hace unas décadas en la agroindustria de esta región, esto es, desde el tránsito de la agricultura tradicional al modelo intensivo, se analiza el papel que la autonomía colectiva juega en este sector. De la misma forma, se aborda los retos que han de afrontar los trabajadores agrarios, su organización colectiva, y la evolución de la regulación laboral de la agricultura.
El concepto de persona trabajadora en el Derecho de la Unión Europea
Authors: Castro Franco Ana
Published: June 2023

En el cambiante mundo del trabajo, la aparición de nuevas formas de empleo, a menudo encuadradas en la zona gris entre el empleo tradicional y el autoempleo, urge a mejorar el acceso a la información sobre los vínculos contractuales y optimizar las condiciones laborales de todas las personas trabajadoras, sobre todo de quienes se encuentran comprendidas en empleos atípicos. Los cambios tecnológicos y organizativos demuestran la creciente necesidad de ampliar el alcance de la legislación laboral para cumplir su propósito de proteger a las personas trabajadoras autónomas económicamente dependientes y combatir la proliferación de “falsos autónomos”. El concepto de persona trabajadora en el Derecho Laboral Europeo merece un análisis crítico a la luz de la jurisprudencia pacientemente aquilatada por el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea. La definición, pese a ser nominalmente amplia, adolece de muchas de las restricciones derivadas de la tradicional división binaria entre empleo por cuenta ajena y por cuenta propia.

Introduction/Objectives: COVID-19 has had a significant emotional impact on people’s lives, especially adolescents. Therefore, the aim was to assess the predictors of suicide risk during the COVID-19 pandemic in adolescents in Ecuador by means of a longitudinal study. Method: The application of a longitudinal design with two measures: before the start of the pandemic and one year afterwards. The sample consisted of 137 adolescents between 12-18 years of age. The variables analysed were mental health, the risk of suicide and self-esteem. Statistical analyses were performed using mean comparison, correlations, QCA models and mediation models. Results: The results indicated higher levels of anxiety and stress after one year of the pandemic. In addition, a higher risk of suicide following the pandemic was observed in those adolescents with higher scores in emotional symptomatology and lowself-esteem. QCA models and mediation models highlighted the importance of self-esteem as a protective variable between pre-COVID-19 suicide risk and emotional symptomatology and post-COVID-19 suicide risk. Conclusions: This study highlights adolescents’ level of vulnerability to the pandemic and its significant psychological impact. It is important to detect which factors function as risks and which as protection against COVID-19 in order to implement intervention programmes that target these aspects and ensure better adolescent well-being.

Every organization of health services always has the potential to pose risks that can be detrimental to patients, including telemedicine-based health services. Telemedicine is a form of electronic-based health service so that doctors and patients cannot meet face to face. Currently there are 3 regulations governing telemedicine, namely Permenkes No. 20 of 2019, Decree of the Minister of Health Number HK.01.07/MENKES/4829/2021 Concerning Guidelines for Health Services Through Telemedicine During the Corona Virus Disease 2019 Pandemic, and Perkonsil No.74 of 2020. However, there are no regulations that concretely regulate legal protection for patients who feel aggrieved by telemedicine-based health services. This article discusses the legal relationship and risks of providing telemedicine-based health services as well as legal protection for patients who experience losses in these services. In the implementation of Telemedicine, there is a legal relationship between the patient, the doctor and the platform. It should be remembered that services for health that require direct action cannot be carried out through telemedicine so that each party in telemedicine needs to understand that there are conditions that can be carried out with telemedicine and not. The form of doctor's responsibility in telemedicine is the absolute responsibility of the doctor for his patient, and the patient's prosecution rights in telemedicine are similar to face-to-face-based health services.

Land dispute cases often occur in the community, one of which is the issuance of double land certificates, namely a state where a piece of land has been registered into two or more certificates by BPN Jambi, one of which occurred in the case in decision No. 88 / Pdt.G / 2021 / PN Jember. The research was conducted to determine and analyze the defendant's liability for unlawful acts against the use of double-certified land. The research was conducted using normative and doctrinal juridical methods with descriptive analysis. The results showed that the issuance of multiple land certificates caused losses to overlapping rights to a land so that it became a loss of certainty of the rights and freedoms of one of the aggrieved parties to exercise control and to all control over the land that actually belonged to him. For such losses, then in accordance with Article 1365 of the Civil Code, ordered the defendant to return all double certificates to the Jambi City Land Agency and return the land owned by the plaintiff by legally purchasing the land owned by the plaintiff.

This study investigated perceived challenges and opportunities, as well as perceived impacts of policies (such as curricular ones) to  mitigate the complex implications of Pandemic COVID-19 for the first year of language education students Batch 2020 of Sanata Dharma University. 58 students of the English Language and Education Study Program (ELESP) and the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program (ILLESP) participated in this study. Both numerical and verbal data were gathered using Google Form survey. This study found a number of paradoxes faced by students. On the one hand, numerical data presents an optimistic outlook on how to maintain their well-being. On the other hand, the written expressions they wrote in the survey reveal a much more complex and challenging atmosphere.
„Děti, děti, z toho kouká buď blázinec, nebo vězení!“ Vídeňský akcionismus jako reakce na válečné, osobní i společenské trauma
Authors: Kubart Tomáš
Published: June 2023

A group of “Viennese Actionists” was formed in Austria around 1961, ceasing to be active in 1970. One decade of their collaboration comprised creation of a series of multimedia artistic works, often in the form of provocative actions using the so-called Schweinvocabular (“nasty vocabulary”): fake violence, vulgarity, explicit sexuality, profaning state and church symbols, etc. The aim of such aesthetics was not a dull provocation; it was rather an artistic means by which the first generation of post-war artists, who personally experienced the horrors of World War II and the reverberations of the first, responded to the lack of denazification and the internal conflicts in the Austrian society. The paper will present the thesis that the designation of the group as “Viennese Actionism” is probably not derived from the noun “action”, but it is a reference to the current in behavioral psychology called sensomotoric actionism, which originated in the early 20th century and emphasized physical and performative coping with the trauma the Actionists experienced in young age (pain, suffering, loss of loved ones, mass scale of murders, etc.); sensomotoric actionism as a metaphor of artistic response to social trauma. One of the main impulses for the Actionists was thus the war trauma, both on an individual and socio-cultural level. The aesthetic means they employed were based on the actual contemporary methods of treating trauma. Using repulsive “images” that presented the horrors of war, the Actionists “forced” their audience to confront them and, if possible, go through social catharsis, giving back to the theater its ritual function it had in the society of the Classical Athenian polis.
Krev, slzy a bolest – Imaginace a emocionalita na příkladu polychromovaných barokních plastik ze svatých schodů
Authors: Horáková Tereza

What is the difference between the pain of Christ and the Virgin Mary? How is pain reflected in sculptures of the Baroque period in Bohemia and Moravia? And how did contemporary pious spectators react to these impulses? Baroque spirituality of the 18th century, particularly the theme of pain, will be demonstrated on the phenomenon of sculpture of the Holy Stairs. These chapels can be found in churches or cloisters, and they are subject to specific liturgy and space arrangements where we can find a particular representation of Christ, as well as the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist. Different types of pain and their representation in the sculpture of that time are illustrated on several examples of Holy Stairs, including the stairs at the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and St. Charles the Great in Prague.

Antonín Goller, Stephan Tragl, Johann Koch: Méně známí architekti ve službách severočeské a východočeské šlechty ve druhé polovině 19. století
Authors: Neméthová Lucie
Published: June 2023

In the second half of the 19th century, many architects worked for noble members of the house of Morzin and subsequently the house of Czernin-Morzin in Vrchlabí and other mansions in North Bohemia. Among these architects, famous names such as Achille Wolf or Josef Schulz can be found; this text, however, concerns itself with these lesserknown, namely Antonín Goller (1833–1880), Stephan Tragl (1845–1891), and Johann Koch (1850–1915). The main objective of this text is to give the most comprehensive view possible of the work and personalities of these three very diverse architects. The oldest of the three, Antonín Goller, was an active member of the Association of Architects and Engineers in the Kingdom of Bohemia and author of numerous conversions of aristocratic residences. Second architect, Stephan Tragl, established a successful architectural studio in Prague-Smíchov in the 1880s and was the author of many impressive buildings, among which excels a group of sacral buildings in neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque style. Unlike the previous two, the work of Johann Koch is, for the most part, concentrated abroad in Latvian Riga. Here he was an architect of many highly representative public buildings in Italian neo-Renaissance style and even today is highly appreciated.

Published: June 2023

Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris (FOC), an extremely destructive pathogen, infects chickpea plants leading to over 100% losses. Although using chemicals like Carbendazim and Mancozeb control the disease but ruin the soil’s natural flora and fauna. Also, the emergence of new FOC races threatens the current genotypes. Many efforts have been made towards improving chickpea genotypes through breeding and selection, but the situation has not been improved over the last 2 decades. The current research uses pot screening and molecular-based approaches to screen out the resistant chickpea cultivars. In that view, the present research uses 16 chickpea genotypes collected from diverse agro-climatic areas and checked against FOC race-3. After the pot screening and ANOVA (P<0.001), the genotypes were categorized as highly Resistant (C 235, HC 1), resistant (GNG 2477, PHULeG 0517, GNG 2171, HC 7, PHULe G 0127), susceptible (ICCV 10) and highly susceptible (PUSA 547, RSG 931, RSG 888, ICCV 512, CSJ 513, ICCV 6). In Marker-assisted selection (MAS), the DNA of genotypes was subjected to PCR with STMS markers TA-96 and TA-27. The results revealed that the genotypes ICCV 512, C 235, GNG 2171, ICCV 10, HC 7, PHULe G 0127 and HC 1 were resistant. These results are significant for selecting resistant genotypes and can be utilized in the future validation and development of more wilt-resistant chickpea genotypes. Our results based on pot-screening and molecular-based datasets suggested a more reliable identification system for screening of FOC resistance cultivar inhibiting, which can help narrow down the selection.

The determination of nucleotide sequences in DNA, sequencing of chloroplast genomes techniques, based on the use of combinations a significant number genetic markers, as well as the nuclear genome are widely use for inventory of rare plant species, ecological monitoring and species diversity assessment. The results of our molecular analysis are used to examine the taxonomic identity and phylogenetic relationship of the studied Iris species collected in Uzbekistan. The genotyping of three-four functional loci of nrDNA and cpDNA was performed for efficient species identification and confident results. The nuclear ITS gene sequences and chloroplast trnL-trnF, rbcL, matK gene sequences were obtained from 10 Iris species and have proven to be useful as molecular markers for species identification. Sequences of cpDNA regions, have been used to assess interspecific relationships of Iris. Hierarchical clustering were constructed using 13 consensus matK gene sequences. In this study, we consider the possibility of successful application the DNA barcoding as a tool for assessment of wild Iris species diversity in Uzbekistan.
Learning and Deducing Temporal Orders

Published: June 2023

This paper studies how to determine temporal orders on attribute values in a set of tuples that pertain to the same entity, in the absence of complete timestamps. We propose a creator-critic framework to learn and deduce temporal orders by combining deep learning and rule-based deduction, referred to as GATE (Get the lATEst). The creator of GATE trains a ranking model via deep learning, to learn temporal orders and rank attribute values based on correlations among the attributes. The critic then validates the temporal orders learned and deduces more ranked pairs by chasing the data with currency constraints; it also provides augmented training data as feedback for the creator to improve the ranking in the next round. The process proceeds until the temporal order obtained becomes stable. Using real-life and synthetic datasets, we show that GATE is able to determine temporal orders withF-measure above 80%, improving deep learning by 7.8% and rule-based methods by 34.4%.
Experimental investigation of heat transfer characteristics for a shell and tube heat exchanger
Authors: Gugulothu Ravi , Sanke Narsimhulu
Published: June 2023

In the present work, numerical investigations are conducted with 22 % cut segmental baffle heat exchanger (SB), 20°, 30°, and 40° helical baffles shell and tube heat exchangers (STHX) to estimate the overall heat transfer coefficient (OHTC), pressure drop (PD) and friction factor. Among the studied heat exchangers (HE), 40° helical baffles STHX provided the highest OHTC with minimum pressure drop. Hence, further investigations are conducted experimentally with 40° helical baffles STHX. OHTC increased by 2.65 % for 20° helical baffles, 5.37 % for 30° helical baffles, 9.78 % for 40° helical baffles when compared with 22 % cut segmental baffle heat exchanger. The deviation between experimental and numerical OHTC is 2.64 % 40° helical baffles.
Luenberger compensator theory for heat-Kelvin-Voigt-damped-structure interaction models with interface/boundary feedback controls
Authors: Triggiani Roberto , Wan Xiang
Published: June 2023

An optimal, complete, continuous theory of the Luenberger dynamic compensator (or state estimator or state observer) is obtained for the recently studied class of heat-structure interaction partial differential equation (PDE) models, with structure subject to high Kelvin-Voigt damping, and feedback control exercised either at the interface between the two media or else at the external boundary of the physical domain in three different settings. It is a first, full investigation that opens the door to numerous and far reaching subsequent work. They will include physically relevant fluid-structure models, with wave- or plate-structures, possibly without Kelvin-Voigt damping, as explicitly noted in the text, all the way to achieving the ultimate discrete numerical theory, so critical in applications. While the general setting is functional analytic, delicate PDE-energy estimates dictate how to define the interface/boundary feedback control in each of the three cases.

Descaling of stainless-steel black coil is an important step to produce white coil with smooth glossy surface. The AISI 304L black and white coils from a company containing 1.08–1.71Mn and 0.22–0.40Cu (wt%) were used to study the effects of Mn and Cu on descaling rate by potentiodynamic polarization technique at 25 °C. The pickling solutions were 0.5 M HCl and 0.5 M HCl mixed with H2O2 of 0.5, 0.88 and 1.76 M. The polarization curves of black and white coil samples measured in HCl–H2O2 mixture showed no passive range. The descaling rate of black coil oxide scales, and the corrosion potential (E
corr) increased with H2O2 concentration. Low-Mn sample, that is 1.08%Mn0.23%Cu sample, showed higher descaling rate than high-Mn samples. No effects of Cu content on the descaling rate were observed. For white coil samples, the descaling rates were almost constant, but pitting on surface was observed. Passive films were eliminated. The corrosion potentials of black and white coil samples increased when adding H2O2 in HCl solution indicating an increase in cathodic reaction due to increase in dissolved oxygen. The corrosion potentials of 1.08%Mn0.23%Cu black and white coil samples were lower than those of high-Mn samples corresponding to less Mn oxide.
