Published: May 2022

AbstractGraph labeling is a map that maps graph elements such as vertices, edges, vertices, and edges to a set of numbers. A graph labeling is named e-cordial if there is a binary mapping f:E(G)→{0,1} which induces the vertex labeling defined by g(v)=Ʃ_{uvϵE(G)}f(uv)(mod 2), so that it satisfies the absolute value of the difference between the number of vertices labeled 1 and the number of vertices labeled 0 is less than equal to 1, and also for the number of edges labeled 0 and labeled 1. A graph that admits the e-cordial labeling is called an e-cordial graph. In this paper, we proved that some of the cupola graph Cu(3,b,n) is e-cordial.Keywords: E-Cordial Labeling; E-Cordial Graph; Cupola Graph Cu(a, b, n). AbstrakPelabelan graf merupakan pemetaan yang memetakan unsur-unsur graf seperti simpul, sisi, simpul dan sisi ke himpunan bilangan. Sebuah pelabelan dinamakan pelabelan e-cordial jika terdapat pemetaan biner f:E(G)→{0,1} yang menginduksi pelabelan simpul yang didefinisikan g(v)=Ʃ_{uvϵE(G)}f(uv)(mod 2) sehingga nilai mutlak dari selisih banyaknya simpul yang dilabeli 1 dan banyaknya simpul yang dilabeli 0 kurang dari sama dengan 1, dan nilai mutlak dari selisih banyaknya sisi yang dilabeli 1 dan banyaknya sisi yang dilabeli 0 kurang dari sama dengan 1. Sebuah graf yang dapat dilabeli secara e-cordial dinamakan graf e-cordial. Pada makalah ini dibuktikan bahwa beberapa graf kubah Cu(3,b,n) adalah e-cordial.Kata Kunci : Pelabelan E-Cordial; Graf E-Cordial; Graf Kubah Cu(a, b, n).

AbstractThe fixed point theory remains the most important and preferred topic studied in mathematical analysis. This study discusses sufficient conditions to prove a unique fixed point in quasi-αb-metric spaces with cyclic mapping. The analysis starts by showing fulfillment of the cyclic Banach contraction and proving the Cauchy sequence as a condition for proving a unique fixed point in quasi-αb-metric spaces with cyclic mapping. Furthermore, it's shown that the cyclic mappings, T have a unique fixed point in quasi-αb-metric spaces. Finally, an example is given to strengthen the proof of the theorems that have been done.Keywords: fixed point theory; Quasi -Metric spaces; Cyclic Banach Contraction; Cauchy sequence. AbstrakTeori titik tetap termasuk salah satu topik penting dan menarik untuk diteliti pada bidang analisis.

Age Considerations in the Invasive Management of Acute Coronary Syndromes
Authors: Oberoi Mansi , Ainani Nitesh , Abbott J Dawn , Mamas Mamas A , Velagapudi Poonam
Published: May 2022

The elderly constitute a major proportion of patients admitted with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the US. Due to pre-existing comorbidities, frailty, and increased risk of complications from medical and invasive therapies, management of ACS in the elderly population poses challenges. In patients with ST-elevation MI, urgent revascularization with primary percutaneous coronary intervention remains the standard of care irrespective of age. However, an early invasive approach in elderly patients with non-ST-elevation MI is based on individual evaluation of risks versus benefits. In this review, the authors discuss the unique characteristics of elderly patients presenting with ACS, specific geriatric conditions that need to be considered while making treatment decisions in these situations, and available evidence, current guidelines, and future directions for invasive management of elderly patients with ACS.
Aliens in changing seascapes: a newly reported non-native sacoglossan (Mollusca, Heterobranchia) in the western Mediterranean Sea
Authors: Trainito Egidio , Doneddu Mauro , Furfaro Giulia
Published: May 2022

We report the discovery of the Indo-Pacific sacoglossan Elysia nealae Ostergaard, 1955 from northeastern Sardinia (Central Tyrrhenian Sea). This is the first record of this species in the western Mediterranean Sea and only the second for the whole of the Mediterranean Sea following a report from Cape Epanomi, Greece. We discuss the identification of this species as well as the expansion of its geographical range. Data on the ecology and behavior of E. nealae leads us to hypothesize that the increase in the Mediterranean’s water temperature due to climate change has favored this non-native species and contributed to its expanded distribution.

Published: May 2022

Resumo O estudo objetivou comparar a prevalência de cobertura de avaliação do consumo alimentar em crianças menores de 10 anos, antes e após a implantação do Programa Crescer Saudável (PCS). Nesse sentido, foi conduzido estudo transversal com dados de 548 municípios registrados no PCS disponíveis no Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional do Ministério da Saúde. Analisou-se o indicador cobertura de avaliação do consumo alimentar, segundo as regiões geográficas. Realizou-se teste Qui-quadrado e estimaram-se as Razões de Prevalência (RP) e seus respectivos intervalos de confiança a 95% (IC95%). A cobertura de avaliação do consumo alimentar aumentou de 0,25% em 2015 para 1,78% em 2018 (RP=7,09; IC95% 7,00;7,18). As regiões que apresentaram maior e menor crescimento na cobertura de consumo alimentar foram Sul e Centro-Oeste, respectivamente. Embora o aumento da cobertura de avaliação de consumo alimentar tenha ficado abaixo da meta de 5% estabelecida pelo PCS, houve melhoria no monitoramento da situação nutricional de crianças, sendo necessário desenvolver ações que favoreçam o mapeamento do cenário alimentar e nutricional de crianças no Brasil.

Abstract This study aimed to identify the types of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) most practiced and their association with active behavior in other domains and the sociodemographic aspects in Brazilian adults (≥ 18 years old). It was a cross-sectional study, using data from a population-based system (Vigitel, 2017). Binary logistic regression was used. In the 29,323 LTPA practitioners (51.3% men), the five types of activities most performed were: walking (36.6%), weight training (17.7%), soccer (11.7%), jogging (8.3%), and aerobics (6.7%). The LTPA that had the greatest associations with sociodemographic variables were soccer, walking, and aerobics, all with p-value ≤ 0.01. When considering the other domains of physical activity, participants who reported doing household physical activity were more likely to walk and less likely to practice weight training, soccer and aerobics. Those who did active commuting had more of a chance to walking and less of a chance to weight train, while individuals who practiced occupational physical activity were less likely to walk and more likely to play soccer. Important differences in sociodemographic aspects and active behavior in the other domains were found according to the LTPA type.

Authors: Rashid Ishfaq , Verma Ashish , Tiwari Pramil , D’Cruz Sanjay
Published: May 2022

Abstract Background: Adenine phosphoribosyl transferase (APRT) deficiency has great implications on graft survival in kidney transplant patients. This systematic review investigated the diagnostic pattern, treatment approach, and kidney transplant outcomes among kidney transplant patients with adenine phosphoribosyl transferase deficiency. Material and methods: Articles reporting the APRT enzyme deficiency and kidney allograft dysfunction were retrieved from PubMed/Medline, ScienceDirect, Cochrane library and Google scholar databases. Descriptive analysis was used to draw inferences. Results: The results from 20 selected studies covering 30 patients receiving 39 grafts had an average age of 46.37 years are presented. Graft survival time of more than 6 months was reported in 23 (76.7%) patients, while other 7 (23.3%) patients had graft survival time of less than 6 months. Only 4 (13.3%) patients had APRT deficiency before transplantation. After follow-up, one-third of the patients 10 (33.3%) had stable graft function, 1 patient had allograft loss, 8 (26.6%) patients had delayed graft function while the remaining 11 (36.6%) patients had chronic kidney graft dysfunction. Conclusions: APRT deficiency is an under-recognized, treatable condition that causes reversible crystalline nephropathy, leading to loss of allograft or allograft dysfunction. The study results showed that inclusion of genetic determination of APRT deficiency in the differential diagnosis of crystalline nephropathy, even in the absence of a history of nephrolithiasis, can improve renal outcomes and may improve allograft survival.

Abstract Tick control represent a great challenge to animal health. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of acaricidal compounds against Rhipicephalus microplus from dairy cattle systems in Paraná State, Brazil. Six farms (PR1-PR6) were selected, where anti-tick products were applied at fixed intervals. Two other farms that adopted alternative protocols; target selective treatment (PRS), and individual-based agroecological protocol (PRA) were also included in the trial. Fully engorged R. microplus were collected for the in vitro adult immersion test (AIT), and the egg hatch test (EHT) in all eight populations. The larval packet test (LPT) was used on PR6 and PRA tick populations. The treatment groups were composed of G1: dichlorvos 45% plus cypermethrin 5%, G2: deltamethrin 2.5%, G3: cypermethrin 15%, chlorpyriphos 25%, plus citronellal 1%, and G4: amitraz 12.5%. The efficacy at PR1 to PR6 revealed that G3 and G4 achieved moderate to high efficacy, from 75.0 to 100.0% and 73 to 98%, respectively. In the LPT, the efficacy at PR6 was 76.0, 67.0, 93.0 and 30.6%, while PRA presented 100.0, 100.0, 100.0, and 54.0%, for G1, G2, G3 and G4, respectively.

Published: May 2022

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most representative primary bone tumour in children and teenagers. This study explored the regulatory effects of long noncoding RNA MIR503HG (MIR503HG) on the biological functions of OS cells, and further investigated the potential mechanism of MIR503HG function exertion by analyzing the microRNA-103a-3p (miR-103a-3p) in OS cells and tissues. The expression of MIR503HG was examined using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. OS cell proliferation was assessed by CCK-8 assay. Transwell assay was used to evaluate the migration and invasion of OS cells. The interaction between MIR503HG and miR-103a-3p was detected using the Dual-luciferase reporter assay. Forty-six paired OS tissues were collected, and the expression and correlation of MIR503HG and miR-103a-3p were evaluated. The expression of MIR503HG were significantly decreased in both OS cells and tissues. Over-expression of MIR503HG inhibited OS cell proliferation, migration and invasion. miR-103a-3p was directly targeted by MIR503HG in OS cells, and mediated the inhibitory effects of MIR503HG on OS cell malignant behaviors. miR-103a-3p expression was upregulated in OS tissues, which was negatively correlated with MIR503HG expression levels. The expression of MIR503HG was associated with OS patients' tumor size, differentiation, distant metastasis and clinical stage. Decreased MIR503HG in OS tissues and cell lines served as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting OS cell malignant behaviors through sponging miR-103a-3p. The findings of this study may provide evidence for the development of novel therapeutic targets of OS.

Published: May 2022

Over the years, the photovoltaic market, worldwide, has been witnessing a double-digit growth rate. The silicon solar cell manufacturing technology has evolved to utilize raw materials optimally to address this growth. One of the ways in which manufacturers are addressing the challenge is by increasing the cell size and making thinner wafers. With this change in parameters, understanding the metal contact formation in solar cells becomes paramount to improve their efficiency. Screen printing is a widely used method to form metal contacts on solar cells and is ideally suited for large-volume manufacturing. This paper presents a review of the (a) role of screen printing in various solar cell architectures and (b) existing models for current conduction and contact formation mechanisms.

Authors: Lemos Jeziorny Daniel
Published: May 2022

Este texto traz uma reflexão a respeito do papel da cultura em projetos de desenvolvimento territorial. Isto, principalmente, com vista a alcançar dois objetivos: encontrar um lugar lógico para a cultura em processos de desenvolvimento territorial e prospectar sobre um possível instrumento de construção, nos espaços rurais, de uma cultura alternativa a do crescimento material predatório da natureza e da força de trabalho. O modelo predatório tem levado muitos territórios a um processo de desenvolvimento autofágico, isto é, que se alimenta predatoriamente de seu substrato material. O anterior traz, como uma das consequências mais diretas, um avanço significativo de doenças infecciosas que ameaçam a humanidade. Para tanto, o trabalho calca-se fundamentalmente no conceito marxiano de metabolismo social e na ideia de cultura de Eagleton. Abordamse, também, os resultados das nossas investigações acerca da temática do desenvolvimento territorial e das indicações geográficas de procedência, que as reflexões sugerem com um instrumento possível de se construir em espaços rurais como uma cultura alternativa

Authors: Caldara Dario , Conlisk Sarah , Iacoviello Matteo , Penn Maddie
Published: May 2022

Global geopolitical risks have soared since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Investors, market participants, and policymakers expect that the war will exert a drag on the global economy while pushing up inflation, with a sharp increase in uncertainty and risks of severe adverse outcomes. As an example of these concerns, the April 2022 edition of the International Monetary Fund's World Economic Outlook contains more than 200 mentions of the word "war."
Waste-free technologies: Formation of multilevel structures of environmental protection systems
Authors: Sokolov A. K.
Published: May 2022

The technical and technological base of waste-free technologies is mainly represented by environmental protection systems (EPS), which allow to organize the recycling of waste into technosphere and not to pollute the environment with them. The article provides a brief overview of the works devoted to the methods and technologies of utilization of ferrous metallurgy waste. It is shown that simple schemes, in which the interrelationships between environmental protection devices from solid, liquid and gaseous waste are not organized, cannot provide the necessary degree of waste-free production. In general, a high degree of non-waste can be provided only by complex multistage, multilevel systems for processing raw materials and waste disposal, including devices and technologies for processing waste streams in various phase states. The design of such systems should begin with the stage of describing the output flows of substances and energy from technological installations and the formation of variants of structures, principles of operation (technologies) and equipment (devices) of system elements, from which the optimal option will be selected. The purpose of optimizing the protection system is to minimize the mass of waste sent to the environment, ensuring environmental and industrial safety, taking into account the technical and economic constraints on the possibility of implementing the selected EPS structure. The procedure for forming the structure of the system including: production, environmental protection devices, natural (environmental) environment, is proposed. The interconnections between the elements of the system are represented by flows of energy and masses of substances. An example of organization of the system structure including interrelated subsystems of treatment (purification, neutralization, etc.) of gases, wastewater and solid waste, is given. It was noted that, in general, output flows of substances can be formed at the output of EPS devices, which, depending on their properties (hazard, utility and phase state), can be directed: into the environment, into next-level protection devices (stages), into production to replace raw materials or produce products. The paper considers an example of organizing the structure of a complex multistage and multilevel system of environmental protection from emissions, including subsystems for processing secondary waste in gaseous, liquid and solid states. The proposed procedure for formation of structures of environmental protection systems can be applied to other industries.

Bu araştırmada, İran musikisinde kullanılan yedi destgâha (هفت دستگاه) ait ana diziler, farklı müelliflerin eserleri incelenerek derlenmiştir. Bu dizilerle ortak özellikler taşıyan günümüz Türk musikisi makam dizileri, dizilerin adı, dizilerin yeri (karar sesi) ve dizideki seslerin aralık (kuruluş) özellikleri dikkate alınarak karşılaştırılmıştır. Karşılaştırmada destgâhlara ait ana diziler ve makam dizileri sekiz ses ile sınırlandırılarak notaya alınmıştır. Bu inceleme ve karşılaştırmada yedi destgâha ait ana diziler ele alınmış, guşelere (گوشه) ve avazlara (آواز) ait diziler ise araştırma kapsamına alınmamıştır. Çalışmanın kuramsal zeminine ışık tutması amacıyla günümüz İran musikisindeki destgâh anlayışı ve bu musikide kullanılan destgâh (دستگاه) ve redif (ردیف) kavramları, koron (کرن) ve sori (سری) gibi değiştirici işaretler açıklanmıştır. Ayrıca dizilerin karşılaştırılmasını kolaylaştırmak amacıyla Arel-Ezgi-Uzdilek sistemi dikkate alınarak Türk musikisindeki aralıklar ve değitirici işaretler de açıklanmıştır. Araştırmada destgâh-e şur ana dizisinin uşşak makamı dizisini, destgâh-e mahur ana dizisinin çargâh makamı dizisini, destgâh-e homayun ana dizisinin hümâyun makamı dizisini, destgâh-e segâh ana dizisinin segâh makamı dizisini, destgâh-e çahargah ana dizisinin zirgüleli hicaz makamı dizisini, dastgâh-e nava ana dizisinin uşşak makamı dizisini ve destgâh-e rast pancgah ana dizisinin acemaşiran makamı dizisini çağrıştırdığı sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır.
Kultura putovanja u filmovima Billyja Wildera
Authors:   , Boćkai Irena
Published: May 2022

The subject of the doctoral thesis is travel culture in filmmaking of American director and screenwriter of Austrian-Jewish origin Billy Wilder (1906-2002). This paper gives an analysis of the selected Wilder's movies in the relation to travel culture or mobilities as contemporary paradigm in the humanities and social sciences that explores the movement of people, ideas and things, as well as the broader social implications of those movements. This paper deals with the link between filmmaking and the established and organized practices of traveling, giving an insight into the Billy Wilder’s movies and how film media participates in this area. The main part of the paper explores the travel culture practices and the elements of leisure culture and tourism and examines the aspects of social mobility of Wilder's movie heroes. Components that can be also recognizable in Billy Wilder’s movies are signs of consumer culture and capitalist ideology. Therefore, travel culture or mobilities in this work will be also considered and displayed in the relation to the capitalist ideology what includes signs of work and leisure, the gender division, consummation that is characteristic for capitalist production of place and desireable identities and impact of dominant ideology on the individual labour and leisure time.

Measuring dissolved black carbon in water via aqueous, inorganic, high performance liquid chromatography of benzenepolycarboxylic acid (BPCA) molecular markers v2
Authors: Barton Riley
Published: May 2022

Dissolved black carbon (DBC) is the condensed aromatic portion of dissolved organic matter produced from the incomplete combustion of biomass and other thermogenic processes. DBC quantification facilitates the examination of the production, accumulation, cycling, transformation, and effects of biologically recalcitrant condensed aromatic carbon in aquatic environments. Due to the heterogeneous nature of DBC molecules, concentrations are difficult to measure directly. Here, the method for DBC quantification consists of oxidizing condensed aromatic carbon to benzenepolycarboxylic acids (BPCAs), which are used as proxies for the assessment of DBC in the original sample. The concentrations of oxidation products (BPCAs) are quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography. DBC concentrations are determined from the concentration of BPCAs using a previously established conversion factor. Details and full descriptions of the preparative and analytical procedures and techniques of the BPCA method are usually omitted for brevity in published method sections and method-specific papers. With this step-by-step protocol, we aim to clarify the steps of DBC analysis, especially for those adopting or conducting the BPCA method for the first time.
