Published: July 2022

In the last few years, there has been a growing interest in the use of mare’s milk for human nutrition as well as in the use of this product for treatment and prevention of diseases such as hepatitis, chronic pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, tuberculosis and others. The beneficial properties of mare’s milk are determined first of all by its significant differences from ubiquitous cow’s milk. Many studies show that consumption of fermented milk products offers various advantages for health and the use of probiotic cultures in the composition of starters for fermented milk products allows imparting several functional properties to a product. However, kumis is the only available fermented milk product from mare’s milk on the market. Therefore, the development of new fermented milk products based on mare’s milk is topical and highly demanded. Fermented milk products were developed based on mare’s milk and mare’s milk with addition of cow’s milk using the association consisted of the starter for yogurt and the probiotic strain L. rhamnosus F. The aim of the work was to determine functional properties of fermented milk products based on mare’s milk and mare’s milk with addition of cow’s milk by in vitro methods. It was proved that the products had the high total antioxidant capacity, antiradical and antimicrobial activities as well as the low value of atherogenicity (1.22); the ratio of hypocholesterolemic fatty acids to hypercholesterolemic fatty acids is 1.40.

Published: July 2022

The laws relating to fish and fishery product labeling that require indication of the information about fish species exist in many world countries. These rules are conditioned by a significant growth in the number of the economic fraud cases in the field of production and trade of fishery products. The widespread ways of fraud are replacement and mislabeling of a product as confirmed by many studies. Analysis of scientific works shows that mislabeling in fishery product manufacture occurs in 30–70% of cases in different countries. The existing legislation about food traceability is insufficient for their prevention, which suggests a necessity of taking strict control measures ensuring effective species identification of fish and fishery products. At present, various laboratory tests are used for their species identification. They are based, mainly, on analysis of unique DNA profiles found in different species. In this work, we present the method for detection of fish species using next generation sequencing (NGS). NGS is an advanced technology in the field of quality control of fishery products, especially for fish species identification in multicomponent products, which contain DNA fragments of other species besides the target DNA. NGS was carried out on the platform Ion Torrent Ion GeneStudio S5 System. Twenty samples were analyzed: 17 commercial samples and three prepared experimental samples consisted of the mixture of two and more species. The universal primers, which were able to amplify the fragment 16S rRNA of the commercial fish species, were selected and prepared. In general, DNA of 11 families, 15 genera and 16 species was identified in the course of the analysis. The obtained result of NGS of 17 commercial samples confirmed the results of identification by other molecular diagnostic methods. Mislabeling was revealed in four samples. In three samples, all fish species present in the composition were identified. Possible reasons for fish replacement were assessed.
Usporedba europske i azijske odgojno-obrazovne tradicije i njihova važnost u suvremenom kontekstu
Authors: Jurčević Ružica
Published: July 2022

Prevladavajuće ekonomske ideologije, koje su ušle u područje visokog odgoja i obrazovanja u posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća, poremetile su dugu tradiciju tzv. humanističkih ideala i vrijednosti. To je ujedno rezultiralo pomakom s učenja per se prema učenju za tržište rada, čime je naglasak stavljen na tehničko-funkcionalnu dimenziju obrazovanja kojom se zanemaruje pojedinac i njegov razvoj. Dok mnoga europska sveučilišta pozdravljaju neoliberalnu paradigmu u poučavanju i učenju, u azijskim zemljama posljednjih godina dolazi do oživljavanja tradicionalnog konfucijanskog koncepta odgoja i obrazovanja kao odgovora na hiperspecijalizaciju visokog obrazovanja. Pokušavajući istražiti odnos između humanističkih i neoliberalnih pristupa sveučilištu, ovaj će se rad fokusirati na prikaz europske i azijske (konfucijanske) tradicije odgoja i obrazovanja, na njihove sličnosti i razlike te načine na koje su potonje razlike institucionalizirane, s ciljem da se ukaže na važnost rekonstitucije humanističkih vrijednosti u odgoju i obrazovanju u sve više neoliberalno orijentiranom svijetu.
Rethinking the Spirit of Chinese Aesthetics

Published: July 2022

Duh kineske estetike duboko je ukorijenjen u koncepciji jedinstva između neba i čovjeka. Iz perspektive pragmatičnog vitalizma, njegov se mehanizam trajnosti može pratiti do vitalnog uzroka. Ovaj uzrok obuhvaća tri glavna aspekta: supstancijalni, primjenjivi i plodonosni, koji čine dijalektički interaktivan i međusobno povezan okvir. U praksi, ovaj okvir oslikava umjetnost naučenjačkog slikanja krajolika koje karakterizira progresivni proces. Taj je proces izložen trima primarnim strategijama ili činovima učenja: slijediti stare majstore u početnoj fazi, slijediti planine i rijeke u srednjoj fazi i slijediti Nebo i Zemlju u konačnoj fazi. Sve to, prikazano je u relevantnoj teoriji i umjetničkom stvaralaštvu za većinu kineskih slikara naučenjaka, od kojih su Dong Qichang, Shi Tao i Huang Binhong tri tipična predstavnika iz različitih razdoblja između 16. i 20. stoljeća.
High-energy resummation in inclusive hadroproduction of Higgs plus jet
Authors: Celiberto Francesco Giovanni , Ivanov Dmitry Yu. , Mohammed Mohammed Maher Abdelrahim , Papa Alessandro
Published: July 2022

Using the standard Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) approach, with partial inclusion of next-to-leading order effects, we propose the inclusive hadroproduction of a Higgs boson and of a jet, featuring large transverse momenta and well separated in rapidity, as a new channel to probe the BFKL dynamics. Predictions are presented for cross-sections and azimuthal angle correlations in different kinematics configurations for the final-state transverse momenta. We find that the large energy scales provided by the emission of a Higgs boson stabilize the BFKL series.

Authors: Bacchetta Alessandro , Celiberto Francesco Giovanni , Radici Marco , Taels Pieter
Published: July 2022

We present exploratory analyses of the 3D gluon content of the proton via a study of unpolarized and polarized gluon TMDs at twist-2, calculated in a spectator model for the parent nucleon. Our approach embodies a flexible parametrization for the spectator-mass function, suited to describe both moderate and small-x effects. All these studies can serve as a useful guidance in the investigation of the gluon dynamics inside nucleons and nuclei, which constitutes one of the major goals of new-generation colliding machines, as the EIC, the HL-LHC, NICA, and the FPF.

Macroeconomic variables, COVID-19 and the Indian stock market performance
Authors: Bhama Vandana
Published: July 2022

India witnessed the first major wave of COVID-19 in 2020. The second major wave during April 2021 caused a higher number of infected cases across the country. These waves of COVID-19, rising cases and lockdown announcements severely impacted the Indian economy. Moreover, huge volatility was observed in the prices of oil and exchange rates during the similar period. Thus, this study tests the effect of selected macroeconomic variables and the COVID-19 pandemic on the performance of the Indian stock market. Using co-integration and the vector error correction model on the NIFTY 100 firms, the findings suggest co-integration and long-term association among variables. The Indian stock market experienced an inverse connection with the exchange rate volatility; the coefficient value is 57.582. The exchange rates rose heavily (with a value of Indian rupee being 76.95 against US dollar) with the onset of COVID-19 cases. Further, these cases do hurt the sentiments of the stock market; however, the relationship is relatively infirm (the value is 0.22) as compared to that of the exchange rate. The accumulated major negative influence of COVID-19 on the economy had a weak impact on the stock market. In conclusion, it should be noted that after the first wave, businesses were more prepared and therefore incorporated the required changes that saw them through the second wave.

Predictors of Family Size Among Men in Urban Slums of Enugu, Southeast Nigeria: A Cross Sectional Study
Authors: Enebe Nympha Onyinye
Published: July 2022

A rapidly increasing population is a threat to national development, family stability and social security. This study aimed at assessing family size preferences and its predictors among married men in urban slums in Enugu, Nigeria. A descriptive cross-sectional study that involved household survey of 381 married men living in urban slums of Enugu, Nigeria was carried out. Data was collected using pre-tested, interviewer-administered questionnaires. Data aanalysis was done with IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The average actual family size was 6 people, with an average of 4 children. 62.5% had their children mixed, 27% had all males, while 10.5% had all girls. However, over 50% of respondents desired to have a family size of 8 or more, with 52.8% of them preferring to have at least 3 sons and 3 daughters. The predictors of family size were: age of respondent (AOR 2.951; CI=1.343-3.314), sex distribution (AOR 2.905; CI= 1.960-4.306), number of twins (AOR 4.720 CI= 1.821-12.231), desired number of children (AOR 7.566; CI=2.334-24.522), desire to continue childbirth (AOR 0.202; CI=0.084-0.482) and desire to have more children if income is increased (AOR 0.403; CI= 0.176-0.919). Actual and desired family size, as well as male sex preference, were high among married men in Enugu urban slums. Family size was predicted by the age of respondent, sex distribution, number of twins, the desired number of children and desire to have more children. Health education programs on population control should target urban slum dwellers to enhance human and economic development.

Authors: Melkamu Tewabe , Bagyaraj Murugesan , Adimaw Melkamu
Published: July 2022

Changes in lake surface area and fluctuations in water levels are common especially in the Ethiopian Rift Valley region. The aim of this study was to present the spatiotemporal changes of lake Beseka from 1985 to 2020 using multi-temporal Landsat images. Four spectral water indices, namely Normalized Differential Water Index (NDWI), Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) and Automated Water Extraction Index (AWEI) were used for the extraction of the lake water. The results of the study show that lake Beseka has tended to expand significantly and strongly over the past 35 years. During 1985, the lake surface area was around 30.9km2 and within the next 35 years, the lake surface area increased by 18.18 km2and in 2020, its surface area is about 49.1 km2. lake Beseka shows 0.2412km2 area change from 2015 to 2020. This indicates lake Beseka has a decreasing trend of expansion compared to its history. However, the topography of Lake Beseka is lower in elevation a small water level rise in the lake can cover a large area and lead to significant impacts on the surrounding environment. Therefore, the monitoring of lake surface changes by multi-temporal satellite images is very necessary and of decisive importance.
A Review on Cyberloafing: The Effects of Social Platforms on Work Performance
Authors: Ngowella Godlove Dismas , Loua Lamin Rene , Suharnomo Suharnomo
Published: July 2022

Cyberloafing is a collection of work-related behaviours in which an employee engages in electronically-mediated activities, notably through the use of the internet, that are unrelated to their job duties. The development of communication technology has become a blessing in disguise for employees’ work performance, and over the years, organisations have tried to improve work-related activities that would have an impact on their employees’ work performance and also deal with how they cope with the usability of the internet. This paper aims to review and analyse cyberloafing with regards to the use of social platforms on work performance in previous studies conducted in Saudi Arabia. The findings demonstrate that increasing educational activities on an hourly basis has a favourable impact on work performance, whereas reducing time spent on social media networks increases time spent on work-related activities and hence increases work performance. Employers should create a balance between work and leisure time for their employees to ensure more productivity as technology makes people spend more time on their devices. Hence, work-leisure policies will be crucial in improving work performance and maintaining discipline during working hours.

Evaluation of the Technological Modernity of the Machines used in the Metallurgical Industry
Authors: INGALDI M.
Published: July 2022

Abstract. The analysis of the modernity of production machines is an important issue due to two aspects. First of all, modernity will have a direct impact on the efficiency of using both the machine and the entire production process (the entire production line), as well as the productivity of this process. On the other hand, this meaning will refer to the qualitative results of the processes that are carried out by the analyzed device. The level of modernity of machines is the starting point in the analysis of the effectiveness of their use and planned organizational changes in the production line. The aim of the paper was to evaluate the modernity of the milling machine CNC, which is used in the production of various types of steel products. The ABC technology method was the research instrument. Individual parts of this machine were divided into 3 subassemblies (parts of main subassembly A, parts of supportive subassembly B, parts of collateral subassembly C) and then each part was evaluated on the basis of Parkers' five-point scale. The analysis showed that despite the fact that the machine is not modern, there is no need to replace it, because the quality level of the steel products produced with it, is high.

Solving Critical Quality Problems by Detecting and Eliminating their Root Causes – Case-Study from The Automotive Industry
Authors: KNOP K.
Published: July 2022

Abstract. The article presents the results of using selected quality tools to detect and analyze critical quality problems of low-pressure hoses for car radiators and their root causes for their elimination. The research aims to analyze the nonconformities of the tested product, identify critical nonconformities in terms of frequency of occurrence, and analyze potential causes of their creation to propose effective corrective and preventive actions. The paper presents the use of such quality tools as the Pareto-Lorenz diagram, Ishikawa diagram, and 5 WHY analysis. It was identified that the critical nonconformities of low-pressure hose that should be addressed first are nonconforming insert mounting depth and crooked cut detail. It has been shown that most of the factors causing critical nonconformances are in the "man" and "machine" type of problem areas. They identified the root causes of the quality problems, which were the incorrect setting of the machine by the operator and a lack of frequent inspections of the machine’s technical condition. It was proposed corrective actions to eliminate the possibility of critical nonconformities due to their root causes.

12 Angry Men (1957)
Authors: Sales Helciclever Barros da Silva
Published: July 2022

This essay focuses on the imagetic power of the word as a central element of the film 12 Angry Men (1957), directed by Sidney Lumet, with a screenplay by Reginald Rose from his writings and TV special (CBS, 1954, directed by Franklin Schaffner). The aforementioned film starred Henry Fonda (Davis character), among others. This approach is discussed based on the rhetorical concept of ekphrasis, a conceptual dimension already used in film analysis studies, especially by Pethö (2010), Elleström (2010), Killander et al (2014), Heffernan (1993, 2015), Gonçalo (2017) and Clüver (1998, 2019). Thus, the focus of this essay is to interpret how the cinematographic and filmic resources made by Lumet dialogue with the vast rhetorical tradition of ekphrasis. Among the considerations of this essay, it is highlighted that the film under analysis is an exemplary piece of a “word cinema”, that is, through rhetorical-cinematic resources of ekphrastic orientation, this filmic work produced, through the discursive conduction of the protagonist in opposition to the rest of the panel of judges, that in flashbacks, he reconstructs crime scenes to analyze the murder on trial.

Background

Excessive weight gain during pregnancy is associated with complications for both the mother and her infant including gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders, operative delivery, and long-term obesity. A healthy diet during pregnancy promotes healthy gestational weight gain and determines fetal epigenetic programming in infants that impacts risk for future chronic disease.

Objective

This project will examine the impact of grocery delivery during pregnancy on the weight, diet, and health outcomes of young pregnant women and their infants.

Methods

A three-arm randomized controlled trial design will be performed. A total of 855 young pregnant women, aged 14-24 years, from across the state of Michigan will be enrolled and randomized equally into the three study arms. Participants in arm one (control) will receive usual care from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); arm two will receive WIC plus biweekly grocery delivery; and arm three will receive WIC plus biweekly grocery and unsweetened beverage delivery. Weight will be assessed weekly during pregnancy, and total pregnancy weight gain will be categorized as above, below, or within guidelines. Additionally, dietary intake will be assessed at three time points (baseline, second trimester, and third trimester), and pregnancy outcomes will be extracted from medical records. The appropriateness of pregnancy weight gain, diet quality, and occurrence of poor outcomes will be compared between groups using standard practices for multinomial regression and confounder adjustment.

Results

This study was funded in April 2021, data collection started in December 2021, and data collection is expected to be concluded in 2026.

Conclusions

Authors: Gogoi Mr. Rupak Kumar
Published: July 2022

Abstract: A finite-state machine (FSM) is a computational mathematical model. For design and analysis, circuits and system operations can be represented in a variety of ways. FSM is one of the methods for using a drawing to represent the operations of many circuits and systems in electronic engineering, computer engineering, and so on. In terms of design, the finite state machine is a very simple machine. It is made up of a set of input symbols, output symbols, and states that must be designed. Furthermore, a function of input and output symbols with the current state to give the next state must be present. To simulate the Finite State machine, a software simulator is implemented in this paper using the Visual Basic programming language (in terms of design and operation).Several general examples are represented in this model. However, the software can be used to teach students about FSM and how it works.

Authors: Gaikdad Niranjan Sanjay
Published: July 2022

Abstract: In recent years, sorting of scrap material using various automated techniques has gained a lot of focus. One of the multiple steps in the recycling of non-ferrous metals is the separation of shredded material into different groups. In our project, we propose the concept of "Metal & Non-metal Sorting Using Metal Detector". This system of sorting products is optimized to differentiate between metal & non-metals product, which is done with the help of a metal detector. A continuous conveyor belt carries the different products, and with the help of a control motor it separates metal from non-metal. In a nutshell, this system consists of a metal sensor. When the conveyor belt carries the products, it goes through a metal detector, if it's a metal product the control motor separates it with the help of a bar and the skipped product goes further to another container for non-metal. GSM technique is also introduced for mobiles messaging. The counter displays the metal count. This project is useful in automobile industries, steel plants and industry for separation of metal and non-metal element in the industry on a large basis. It can also be used for waste management so also beneficial for the environment.

Identifying Fake News Using Real Time Analytics
Authors: Borkar Sumedh
Published: July 2022

Abstract: Before the internet, people acquired their news from the radio, television, and newspapers. With the internet, the news moved online, and suddenly, anyone could post information on websites such as Facebook and Twitter. The spread of fake news has also increased with social media. It has become one of the most significant issues of this century. People use the method of fake news to pollute the reputation of a well-reputed organization for their benefit. The most important reason for such a project is to frame a device to examine the language designs that describe fake and right news through machine learning. This paper proposes models of machine learning that can successfully detect fake news. These models identify which news is real or fake and specify the accuracy of said news, even in a complex environment. After data preprocessing and exploration, we applied three machine learning models; random forest classifier, logistic regression, and term frequency-inverse document frequency (TFIDF) vectorizer. The accuracy of the TFIDF vectorizer, logistic regression, random forest classifier, and decision tree classifier models was approximately 99.52%, 98.63%, 99.63%, and 99.68%, respectively. Machine learning models can be considered a great choice to find reality-based results and applied to other unstructured data for various sentiment analysis applications.

Published: July 2022

Biodesulfurization (BDS) enables the gentle removal of organosulfur
compounds using environmentally friendly enzymes. Even though
researchers are committed to engineering the biodesulfurization-specific
4S pathway for improving BDS efficiency, the industrial BDS application
of BDS is still difficult. Recently, sulfur metabolism of Rhodococcus
has begun to attract attention due to its BDS potential. In this review,
we introduce the regulation of the 4S pathway and summarize different
aspects of sulfur metabolism, including sulfur absorption, sulfur
reduction, and sulfur assimilation. The stress response to sulfur
starvation and the influence of sulfur metabolism on BDS efficiency are
also discussed. The latest advancements in genetic engineering have
enabled gene control in Rhodococcus. An improved understanding of the
relationship between sulfur metabolism and desulfurization will enable
the industrial application of BDS.
