ФАКТОРИ ВПЛИВУ НА ЕКОЛОГО-ЕКОНОМІЧНУ ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЬ ВИРОБНИЦТВА БІОГАЗУ НА ПІДПРИЄМСТВАХ ТА В ДОМОГОСПОДАРСТВАХ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Зеленчук Н.В.
Published: July 2024

В статті констатовано, що зростаюча потреба в екологічно чистих та стійких джерелах енергії стимулює розвиток біогазового виробництва. Досліджено фактори, які впливають на еколого-економічну ефективність виробництва біогазу на підприємствах та в домогосподарствах. Виявлено, що на еколого-економічну ефективність виробництва біогазу впливають такі фактори: тип субстрату, технологія виробництва, розмір біогазової установки, якість управління, державна підтримка, ціни на енергоносії, попит на біогаз, екологічні норми та соціальна прийнятність. Визначено, що використання малих біогазових установок може мати широку поширення в сільських домогосподарствах зважаючи що більшість з них мають індивідуальні будинки – понад 94 % та підсобні господарства. Оптимізація біогазового виробництва з урахуванням усіх цих факторів може забезпечити значні екологічні та економічні переваги. Виробництво біогазу в домогосподарствах може бути доцільним, але потребує ретельного аналізу та оцінки ризиків.

Willingness to use moral reframing: Support comes from perceived effectiveness, opposition comes from integrity concerns
Authors: Isiminger Aaron , Giner-Sorolla Roger
Published: July 2024

Moral reframing is a communication technique that involves persuading an audience to support an issue they typically oppose on ideological grounds by appealing to concepts and values that align with their moral concerns. Overall, previous research has found that moral reframing can encourage attitude change more so than non-reframed messages. One pending question, though, is whether people would or would not use this technique in the first place (e.g., because it requires embracing values that one might not endorse). This online study (N = 249) tested the willingness of US-based liberals to use a message appealing to conservative values (morally reframed), vs. one appealing to liberal values (not morally reframed), to persuade a hypothetical conservative audience to be more pro-environmental. Reasons behind message choice and feelings about both messages were measured. Results showed that most participants chose to use the morally reframed message (73%). This choice was justified by the message’s perceived effectiveness, while rejecting it was justified by the need to feel true to one’s own beliefs and values. However, regardless of actual message choice, participants overall reported more positive and less negative integrity feelings for the message that was not morally reframed.
Élites et pouvoir dans les grandes villes suisses (1890-2020)
Authors: Mach André , Araujo Pedro , Benz Pierre , Debluë Claire-Lise , Legentilhomme Geoffroy , Strebel Michael A.
Published: July 2024

Qui règne sur les grandes villes suisses ? Les partis de gauche, les dirigeant ·e·s des principales banques, ou plutôt les anciennes familles patriciennes ? Cet ouvrage aborde ces questions dans une perspective longue en offrant de nouvelles et stimulantes perspectives sur l’histoire des élites. En ouvrant la voie à une histoire transnationale des élites locales, il explore aussi les ramifications de ces élites à diverses échelles spatiales. En raison de la décentralisation de son système politique et économique, combinée à l’internationalisation précoce de ses entreprises, la Suisse constitue un cas exemplaire pour penser les tensions entre l’ancrage local des élites urbaines, leur intégration nationale et leurs connections transnationales. À partir d’une base de données recensant près de 10 000 élites académiques, culturelles, économiques et politiques à Bâle, à Genève et à Zurich de la fin du xıxe siècle à nos jours, ce livre analyse l’évolution des réseaux de pouvoir des trois villes, le rôle central de certaines familles patriciennes ainsi que les lieux de résidence de ces élites. Il met également en lumière le rôle central de certaines institutions dans la cohésion de ce groupe social. Le livre retrace ainsi le passage d’une élite homogène et fermée à la fin du xıxe siècle à une élite fragmentée et diversifiée au début du xxıe siècle, au sein de laquelle les femmes, les étranger·ères et les élu·es de gauche ont pu trouver une place.

Diarrhea is a common problem in people living with HIV (PLWH). Both infectious and non- infectious causes are possible, thus making the diagnosis a challenge. Non-infectious causes commonly include HIV enteropathy, antiretroviral therapy (ART), or other medications. Infectious causes vary depending on the degree of viral control and whether there is profound immunosuppression due to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Infectious causes include viral, bacterial, mycobacterial, and protozoal pathogens. Due to the broad differential, diagnosis can be delayed or missed leading to increased morbidity and mortality. While mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is a known cause of infectious diarrhea in AIDS patients, other non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are less common. Here we present a case of extrapulmonary disseminated non-MAC NTM infection in an HIV patient who presented with chronic severe diarrhea that was initially misdiagnosed as CMV colitis. Our case highlights that concomitant infections which occur in HIV can mislead the diagnosis and delay the treatment.

Modern Quantum Picture of The World
Authors: Sapogin Leo Georgy ,   Department of Physics, Technical University (MADI), 64 Leningradsky pr., A-319, Moscow, 125319, Russia
Published: July 2024

This article describes a model of Unitary Quantum Field theory where the particle is represented as a wave packet. The frequency dispersion equation is chosen so that the packet periodically appears and disappears without form changings. The envelope of the process is identified with a conventional wave function. Equation of such a field is nonlinear and relativistically invariant. With proper adjustments, they are reduced to Dirac, Schrödinger and Hamilton-Jacobi equations. A number of new experimental effects have been predicted both for high and low energies. Fine structure constant (1/137) was determined in 1988, masses of numerous elementary particles starting from electron were evaluated in 2007 with accuracy less than 1 % . 2 pentaquarks, θ+barion, Higgs boson and particle 28 GeV were discovered 11 years later, all of them were evaluated with high accuracy before. The overall picture of the world is based on a unify field. These Equations allow for the beginning of a universe without a Big Bang. Gravity ceases to be a mystery. In principle, a completely new type of "green" energy is possible for mankind.

Authors: Elfarjani Jehan ,   Teaching Assistance Reproductive Technology Hospital, Al Andalus street, Benghazi -Libya, Choueiry Patrick ,   Surveal, Lebanon
Published: July 2024

Background: Myo-inositol (MI), alone or in combination, has gained attention as a potential adjuvant therapy in women undergoing assisted reproductive techniques (ART). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of MI in combination with alpha-lipoic (ALA) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on oocyte quality and ART outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: A total of 100 women with PCOS, aged 20-40 years and undergoing ART were randomly assigned to either the MI-ALA-NAC group (n=50) or the control group (n=50). The intervention group received daily oral supplementation of CelineTM (MI in combination with ALA and NAC) in addition to folic acid (FA) supplementation and standard ART treatment, while the control group received FA only in addition to standard treatment. The primary outcome measures included preovulatory follicle count, the number of mature oocytes retrieved, and embryo quality. The secondary outcomes were the number of gonadotropin vials used, ovarian stimulation duration, and pregnancy rate. Results: The Celine group demonstrated a significantly greater number of large sized follicles, oocytes retrieved, mature oocytes and improved embryo quality (p<0.05). Additionally, the Celine group exhibited shorter stimulation duration, reduced gonadotropin dose required, and higher pregnancy rate (p<0.005). Conclusions: MI in combination with ALA and NAC as an adjunct to ART among women with PCOS showed promising results in improving reproductive outcomes. Future studies should aim to expand our understanding of the long-term effects, and refine the clinical application of this MI co-treatment as an adjunct therapy in fertility clinics to improving the success rates and overall effectiveness of fertility treatments.

Redeeming Albert Einstein in Debates with Niels Bohr Regarding Wave-Particle Duality and Restoring Objectivity to Science
Authors: Gullapalli Sarma N ,   Independent Researcher, Warwick, Rhode Island, USA
Published: July 2024

To explain Young’s Double Slit Experiment Niels Bohr postulated his Complementarity Principle according to which if the observation is for interference pattern the particle will change to wave. Albert Einstein had objected: how can inanimate particle know what the observation is about? Experiments have confirmed Bohr’s Complementarity Principle. Upon investigation, the author was able to explain all experiments without invoking Complementarity Principle, using only coherence and alignment considerations. This research recently culminated in revolutionary finding by the author, that particle always remains particle and its wave function always remains wave, no mysterious change from particle to wave or vice-versa and published a paper in the Journal of High Energy Physics and Cosmology (JHEPGC), 9, 596 – 601, widely acclaimed by readership and reviewers. It restores objectivity to science and opens new vistas of research developing new concepts, advancing science.

Master Narratives: Ideology Embedded and Embodied
Authors: Jurgens Alan
Published: July 2024

While I agree with most of Maiese and Hanna’s (2019) claims in The Mind-Body Politic, I argue that it is possible to offer a fuller explanation of the effects of ideologies and how they are implemented by adopting a narrative analysis to examine the role that narratives play in shaping the social and material conditions of institutions, and individuals’ cognitive habits and affective frames. A narrative analysis maintains that much of our perceptions of and experiences in the world are shaped by the synthesis of conceptual and affective knowledge that we encounter in socio-cultural narratives. Socio-cultural narratives are understood here as narratives that establish, shape, and reinforce cultural beliefs and practices or societal social structures, process, and organizations. By utilizing a narrative analysis we can then employ an additional methodology to examine and understand how we, as individuals, develop and change our particular embodied habits and affective framing patterns. I show how this can be done by focusing on, and expanding upon, Maiese and Hanna’s discussion of neoliberalism and the backfire effect, where individuals resist changes to their affective framing patterns and habitual ways of being in the world.
Geotechnical Stability Assessment and Soil Improvement Recommendations using Soil Grouting and Drainage Tunnels (Case study: Retaining wall displacement at a transmission tower site)
Authors: Khoeri Heri , Pradana Roberto , Isvara Wisnu , Irwanto Rachmad
Published: July 2024

The detection of a retaining wall displacement in early 2023 at one of the DD6+12 transmission tower sites raised concerns about the tower's stability, potentially leading to structural failure. A comprehensive assessment was conducted on the tower's verticality, retaining wall displacement, subsurface conditions, and soil properties around the tower area. The assessment results revealed a linear inclination of the transmission tower from the base to the top, with a deflection at the top of approximately ±20 cm to the south and ±7 cm to the west. With this condition, some structural elements reached a stress-to-permitted stress ratio of 0.91. Although still within allowable limits, without soil stabilization, it is at risk of structural failure. GPR scan results showed differences in foundation dimensions compared to the as-built drawings and identified cavities filled with water beneath the ground surface due to poor drainage, resulting in a safety factor of 1.088, whereas the required safety factor is 1.5. This condition caused the retaining wall displacement. Recommendations including constructing drainage tunnels upstream, soil grouting, installing wheep holes in the retaining walls, and adding secant piles would increase the safety factor to 1.988.

The aim of this research is to look at the pattern of subsurface resistivity values ​​compared to the condition of rock layers or outcrops in the field. The geoelectric survey used the dipole dipole method with the Multichannel Resistivity MAE X 612 EM+ instrument. The case study was carried out at one of the excavation locations at Jragung Dam with sandstone and clay stone lithology with varying thicknesses. Conditions in the field are that the clay stone layer is starting to experience greater deformation compared to the sandstone layer. Worse deformation in claystone in the field is caused by durability values ​​which are generally worse than sandstone and the greater water content in claystone even though its compressive strength is relatively greater. In the dry season, sandstone (Reference point 1) at a depth of 5m has a resistivity of >86 ohm.m, while claystone has 12 - 15 ohm.m. At the beginning of the rainy season sandstone 37 – 50 ohm.m, clay stone (reference point 1) resistivity 8-11 ohm.m. The resistivity of claystone does not change significantly with changes in conditions. Because the porosity and permeability of sandstone can change significantly under changing

The common practice of cultivating rice through transplanting requires considerably higher amount of water, which poses several challenges, particularly in the present era of global climate change and decreasing availability of water. The direct-sown rice (DSR) presents a promising/resource-saving alternative for cultivation of rice in the current scenario of changing climatic conditions. While some local cultivars are well-adapted for DSR, there has been limited success in breeding for DSR varieties. This is mainly because of the lack of comprehensive knowledge about the adaptability of rice to changing climatic conditions. Comprehensive analysis of methylome and transcriptome profiles of rice [Nagina-22 (N-22) and IR-64] grown by transplanting as well as direct-sowing deciphered epigenetic regulation of genes involved in adaptive plasticity. Expression of a large number of genes correlated with DNA (de)methylation in N-22 under DSR conditions implies that (de)methylation of DNA base is associated with the adaptation of N-22 to DSR conditions. Hypomethylation of genes in leaves of N-22 showing their up-regulated expression under DSR conditions suggests epigenetic modification to be a key factor in adaptive plasticity of N-22. Post-translational modification of proteins, particularly histone modifications, and changes in chromatin architecture contribute to adaptability of N-22 under adverse climatic conditions. The finding might help in developing more resilient/efficient DSR cultivars suitable for changing global climate.

Introduction: Psychological distress is characterized by a set of signs and symptoms, as well as any kind of negative reaction to stressful events caused by everyday life. In the face of psychological distress, people often develop coping strategies. Objective: To identify the coping strategies used by university students in the face of psychological distress. Methodology: Quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study carried out using a stratified proportional and simple random sample of 276 students enrolled from the 1st to the 8th period of the medicine course. Results: Most of the students presented psychological distress, 58.70%. The most frequently used coping strategies were avoidance (10.48±5.09), self-control (10.20±3.78), positive reappraisal (9.76±4.16) and problem solving (9.58±4.12). Students with psychological distress used the coping strategies of avoidance-avoidance (12.23±4.72, p=0.000) and acceptance and responsibility (6.81±3.07, p=0.010), while those without psychological distress showed greater problem-solving (10.45±4.02, p=0.003) as a coping strategy. Conclusion: Students who experience psychological distress develop coping strategies. Research and interventions aimed at developing coping strategies in the face of psychological distress are suggested.

The subject of predicting global crude oil prices is well recognized in academic circles. The notion of hybrid modeling suggests that the integration of several methodologies has the potential to optimize advantages while reducing limitations. Consequently, hybrid techniques are extensively used in contemporary research. In this paper, a novel decompose-ensemble prediction approach is proposed by integrating various optimization algorithms, namely biography-based optimization (BBO), backtracking search algorithm (BSA), teaching-learning-based algorithm (TLBO), cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA), multi-verse optimization (MVO), and multilayer perceptron (MLP). Furthermore, the aforementioned approaches, namely BBO-MLP, BSA-MLP, and TLBO-MLP, include the de-compose-ensemble technique into the individual artificial intelligence model in order to enhance the accuracy of predictions. In order to validate the findings, the forecast is conducted using the authoritative data on oil prices. This study will use three primary indicators, including EMA 20, EMA 60, EMA 100, ROC, and AUC assessments, to assess and evaluate the efficacy of the five methodologies under investigation. The below findings are derived from the conducted research: Based on the achieved AUC values of 0.9567 and 0.9429, it can be concluded that using a multi-verse optimization technique is considered the most suitable strategy for effectively handling the dataset pertaining to crude oil revenue. The next four approaches likewise have a significant AUC value, surpassing 0.8. The AUC values for the BBO-MLP, BSA-MLP, TLBO-MLP, and COA-MLP approaches were obtained as follows: (0.874 and 0.792) for training and testing stages, (0.809 and 0.792) for training and testing stages, (0.9353 and 0.9237) for training and testing stages, and (0.9092 and 0.8927) for training and testing stages, respectively. This model has the potential to contribute to the resolution of default probability and is very valuable to the credit card industry. Broadly speaking, this novel forecasting approach serves as a notable predictor of crude oil prices.
