FOREIGN EXPERIENCE OF CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT AND STATE REGULATION OF THE TOURISM INDUSTRY
Authors: A. M. Beksultanova
Published: October 2022

"At the moment, the cluster approach to the organization of the tourism sector is particularly popular in the world. This is justified by the fact that the work is carried out in a complex, allowing for greater employment, a convenient scheme of maneuvers between a travel agency, museums and nature reserves, souvenir shops, transport and other related industries in tourism. In addition, for tourists themselves, it is a large selection of entertainment, a choice of comfortable living conditions and movement, as well as the purchase of the highest quality goods, for which all cluster participants are responsible, concluding an agreement on the quality of goods and services. The cluster today is the most effective tool for managing the economy in the context of globalization. This method not only contributes to improving the competitiveness of enterprises, but at the same time is the basis of innovative economic development. The key concepts of the cluster: concentration, integration, cooperation and competition – in the relationship give effect. Due to the rapid development of the global tourism industry, clusters as integrated groups of enterprises in the field of tourism business represent a global phenomenon. They appeared primarily in developed countries, but now they have begun to appear in developing countries, as well as in countries with economies in transition, providing a significant part of the state’s income.

Published: October 2022

This study focused on the temporal changes of pollutant gas concentrations (NO2 and CO) in the air data from different resources, the cornerstone of living life. As a result of the analyzes carried out for a total of seventeen months (January 2020 – May 2021) with consistent data, the increase and decrease trends of two of the polluting gases in the atmosphere were revealed. Geographical studies were carried out with data from one terrestrial station (Üsküdar and Mecidiyeköy) from the Anatolian and European sides of Istanbul, the most populated city in Turkiye. Satellite-based research was also carried out with the Sentinel-5 Precursor (S5p), which the European Space Agency (ESA) created to detect and monitor the concentration of gases in the atmosphere. It has been determined that either terrestrial station-based or S5p satellite data based analyzes can detect and monitor temporal changes in air quality.
Gesso e rejeitos de mineração na correção de um solo salino-sódico e no crescimento inicial do maracujazeiro amarelo
Authors: Leite Maria José de Holanda
Published: October 2022

O maracujazeiro-amarelo é considerado uma espécie sensível aos sais (Ayers & Westcot, 1999). Assim o declínio produtivo da cultura deve ocorrer quando a condutividade elétrica do ambiente radicular das plantas atingisse valores superiores a 1,3 dS m-1. Entretanto, algumas pesquisas têm demonstrado que, apesar da salinidade provocar reflexos negativos no crescimento, na capacidade produtiva da cultura e na qualidade dos frutos (Soares et al., 2008; Cavalcante et al., 2009), a utilização de corretivos pode amenizar os efeitos da salinidade, resultando em maior desenvolvimento das mudas e produção de frutos pelas plantas (Souza et al., 2008). Alguns trabalhos mostraram que a utilização de rejeitos de mineração como constituinte de substratos para emergência e produção de mudas de várias espécies vegetais, como Carica papaya L. (Alencar, 2004); Moringa oleifera Lam. (Alves, 2005); Jatropha curcas L. (Trajano et al., 2010); Cnidoscolus quercifolius Pohl. (Farias Júnior, 2011) e Mimosa caesalpiniifolia Benth. (Rodrigues, 2011), pode ser uma alternativa promissora para diminuição dos impactos ambientais destes rejeitos. Contudo, estudos avaliando o efeito destes rejeitos em solos salinizados são quase inexistentes. O presente trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar o efeito do gesso agrícola e doses de rejeitos de vermiculita e de caulim, sobre os atributos químicos de um solo salino-sódico e o crescimento do maracujazeiro amarelo.
Contribution of regional aerosol nucleation to low-level CCN in an Amazonian deep convective environment: Results from a regionally nested global model
Authors: Wang Xuemei , Gordon Hamish , Grosvenor Daniel P. , Andreae Meinrat O. , Carslaw Ken S.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Global model studies and observations have shown that downward transport of aerosol nucleated in the free troposphere is a major source of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) to the global boundary layer. In Amazonia, observations show that this downward transport can occur during strong convective activity. However, it is not clear from these studies over what spatial scale this cycle of aerosol formation and downward supply of CCN is occurring. Here, we aim to quantify the extent to which the supply of aerosol to the Amazonian boundary layer is generated from nucleation within a 1000 km regional domain or from aerosol produced further afield, and the effectiveness of the transport by deep convection. We run the atmosphere-only configuration of the HadGEM3 climate model incorporating a 440 km × 1080 km regional domain over Amazonia with 4 km resolution. Simulations were performed over several diurnal cycles of convection. Below 1 km altitude in the regional domain, our results show that nucleation within the regional domain accounts for only 1.8 % of all Aitken and accumulation mode aerosol particles, whereas nucleation that occurred outside the domain (in the global model) accounts for 81 %. The remaining aerosol is primary in origin. Above 10 km, the regional-domain nucleation accounts for up to 64 % of Aitken and accumulation mode aerosol, but over several days very few particles nucleated above 10 km in the regional domain are transported into the boundary layer within the domain, and in fact very little air is mixed that far down. Rather, particles transported downwards into the boundary layer originated from outside the regional domain and entered the domain at lower altitudes. Our model results show that CCN entering the Amazonian boundary layer are transported downwards gradually over multiple convective cycles on scales much larger than 1000 km. Therefore, on a 1000 km scale in the model (approximately one-third the size of Amazonia), trace gas emission, new particle formation, transport and CCN production do not form a "closed loop" regulated by the biosphere. Rather, on this scale, long-range transport of aerosol is a much more important factor controlling CCN in the boundary layer.
Optimization of the Picarro L2140-i Cavity Ring Down Spectrometer for Routine Measurement of Triple Oxygen Isotope Ratios in Meteoric Waters
Authors: Hutchings Jack Alexander , Konecky Bronwen Louise
Published: October 2022

Abstract. The demanding precision of triple oxygen isotope (Δ17O) measurements in water has restricted their measurement to dual-inlet mass spectrometry until the recent development of commercially available infrared-laser analyzers. Laser-based measurements of triple oxygen isotope ratios are now increasingly performed by laboratories seeking to better constrain the source and history of meteoric waters. However, in practice, these measurements are subject to large analytical errors that remain poorly documented in scientific literature and by instrument manufacturers, which can effectively restrict the confident application of Δ17O to settings where variations are relatively large (~25–60 per meg). We present our operating method of a Picarro L2140-i cavity ringdown spectrometer during the analysis of low-latitude rainwaters where confidently resolving daily variations in Δ17O (differences of ~10–20 per meg) was desired. Our approach was optimized over ~3 years and uses a combination of published best-practices plus additional steps to combat spectral contamination of trace amounts of dissolved organics, which, for Δ17O, emerges as a much more substantial problem than previously documented, even in pure rainwater. We resolve the extreme sensitivity of the Δ17O measurement to organics through their removal via Picarro’s micro-combustion module, whose performance is evaluated each sequence using alcohol-spiked standards. While correction for sample-to-sample memory and instrumental drift significantly improves traditional isotope metrics, these corrections have only marginal impact (0–1 per meg error reduction) on Δ17O. Our post-processing scheme uses the analyzer’s high-resolution data, which improves δ2H measurement (0.25 ‰ error reduction) and allows for much more rich troubleshooting and data-processing compared to the default user-facing data output. In addition to competitive performance for traditional isotope metrics, we report a long-term, control standard root-mean-square-error for Δ17O of 11 per meg. Overall performance (Δ17O error of 7 per meg, calculated by averaging 3 replicates spread across distinct, independently calibrated sequences) is comparable to mass spectrometry and requires only ~6.3 h per sample. We demonstrate the impact of our approach using a rainfall dataset from Uganda and offer recommendations for other efforts that aim to measure meteoric Δ17O via CRDS.
Spectrometric fluorescence and Raman lidar: Absolute calibration of aerosol fluorescence spectra and fluorescence correction of humidity measurements
Authors: Reichardt Jens , Behrendt Oliver , Lauermann Felix
Published: October 2022

Abstract. RAMSES is the operational spectrometric fluorescence and Raman lidar at the Lindenberg Meteorological Observatory. It employs three spectrometers, with the UVA spectrometer (378–458 nm spectral range) being the latest to be implemented in 2018. The UVA spectrometer extends the fluorescence measurement range to shorter wavelengths than previously accessible, and its water vapor measurements can be corrected for fluorescence effects. First the new experimental setup of the RAMSES near-range receiver, which integrates the UVA spectrometer, is described. Then it is detailed how the fluorescence measurement with the UVA spectrometer is absolutely calibrated and how the fluorescence spectra are merged with those obtained with the second fluorescence spectrometer (440–750 nm spectral range). The second part of this study is dedicated to the effect of aerosol fluorescence on water vapor measurements with Raman lidars. When aerosols are present, a fluorescence-induced error always arises and therefore requires thorough analysis, even though it is particularly significant (in relative terms) only when the atmosphere is dry, the fluorescence signal strong, or the bandwidth of the Raman detection channels wide. For moisture measurements with the UVA spectrometer, a method is introduced that effectively eliminates the systematic fluorescence error. However, the increase in trueness comes at the expense of precision. The investigations further show that an accurate correction for fluorescence is impossible when the Raman lidar is not equipped with a spectrometer but with a single fluorescence receiver channel only, at least for biomass burning aerosol, because for a given fluorescence backscatter coefficient at the wavelength of the auxiliary detection channel the induced error in humidity can vary widely due to the changing shape of the fluorescence spectrum, which depends on aerosol type and atmospheric state and possibly also on other factors.
Probabilistic and Machine Learning Methods for Uncertainty Quantification in Power Outage Prediction due to Extreme Events
Authors: Arora Prateek , Ceferino Luis
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Strong hurricane winds damage power grids and cause cascading power failures. Statistical and machine learning models have been proposed to predict the extent of power disruptions due to hurricanes. Existing outage models use inputs including power system information, environmental, and demographic parameters. This paper reviews the existing power outage models, highlighting their strengths and limitations. Existing models were developed and validated with data on a few utility companies and regions, limiting the extent of their applicability across geographies and hurricane events. Instead, we train and validate these existing outage models using power outages for multiple regions and hurricanes, including Hurricanes Harvey (2017), Michael (2018), and Isaias (2020), in 1,833 cities along the U.S. coastline. The dataset includes outage data from 39 utility companies in Texas, 5 in Florida, 5 in New Jersey, and 11 in New York. We discuss the limited ability of state-of-the-art machine learning models to (1) make bounded outage predictions, (2) extrapolate predictions to high winds, and (3) account for physics-informed outage uncertainties at low and high winds. For example, we observe that existing models can predict outages as high as 25 times more than the number of customers and cannot capture well the outage variance for wind speeds over 70 m/s. Finally, we present a Beta regression outage modeling framework to address the shortcomings of existing power outage models.
An improved subgrid channel model with upwind form artificial diffusion for river hydrodynamics and floodplain inundation simulation
Authors: Rong Youtong , Bates Paul , Neal Jeffrey
Published: October 2022

Abstract. An accurate estimation of river channel conveyance capacity and the water exchange at the river-floodplain interfaces is pivotal for flood modelling. However, in large-scale models limited grid resolution often means that small-scale river channel features cannot be well represented in traditional 1D/2D schemes. As a result instability over river and floodplain boundaries can occur, and flow connectivity, which has a strong control on the floodplain hydraulics, is not well-approximated. A subgrid channel model (SGC) based on the local inertial form of the shallow water equations, which allows utilization of approximated sub-grid scale bathymetric information while performing very efficient computations has been proposed as a solution, and it has been widely applied to calculate the wetting and drying dynamics in river-floodplain systems at regional scales. Unfortunately, SGC approaches to date have not included latest developments in numerical solutions of the local inertial equations, and the original solution scheme was reported to suffer from numerical instability in low friction regions such as urban areas. In this paper, for the first time, we implement a newly developed diffusion and explicit adaptive weighting factor in the SGC model. An adaptive artificial diffusion is explicitly included in the form of an upwind solution scheme based on the local flow status to improve the numerical flux estimation. A structured sequence of numerical experiments is performed, and the results confirm that the new SGC model improved the model performance in terms of water level and inundation extent, especially in urban areas where the Manning parameter is less than 0.03 m−1/3 s. By not compromising computational efficiency, this improved SGC model is a compelling alternative for river-floodplain modelling, particularly in large-scale applications.
Evolution of the mineral content of winter wheat in Hungary based on 30 years of measurement results
Authors: Ungai Diána , Sipos Péter , Győri Zoltán
Published: October 2022

Nowadays, research related to food science and nutrition places more and more emphasis on the examination of the chemical, feeding and nutrition-physiology quality of various products of plant origin and the evolution of the changes. The attention of many researchers is focused on these quality issues related to nutritional values, and on how these characteristics have changed over the past few decades, thanks to the intensive agrotechniques applied and the available varieties. In terms of our eating habits, cereals have been playing a central role in our everyday lives for thousands of years. In addition to providing energy thanks to their carbohydrate content, cereals can also be seen as a source of proteins, fibers, vitamins and, last but not least, minerals, as there are traditions of making and eating bread made from cereals both worldwide and in Hungary. Grain-based food production is part of a nation’s culture. By preparing our manuscript, our goal was to analyze the large number of samples available from different growing areas to obtain an answer to a question that arises in many people, how the mineral content of winter wheat, which is a staple food in our diet, has changed over the past decades. Thus, by demonstrating the combined effect of changing ecological conditions, the applied agrotechniques and biological foundations, we intend to provide an accurate picture of the evolution of the mineral content of cereals.

Published: October 2022

Many studies are published on food fortification, as the production, testing and consumption of functional foods has become a central issue these days. Bread is one of our important staple foods, and we also regularly eat various spices. Bread may also contain spices. In the course of our work, bread recipes containing different spices in different quantities were developed. In this study, the macroelement content of seven spices (basil, dill, oregano, caraway, chives, rosemary and garlic granules) and 42 fortified breads were determined using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES), and their contribution to the nutrient reference value (NRV) was calculated. Based on the measured concentrations, higher element contents were measured in the spices used by us compared to the values of other studies. Outstanding results values were determined in basil, dill, oregano and chives. In the case of breads, the calcium, potassium and magnesium content of the products made with the above-mentioned spices was higher than the data found in the literature. Taking into account the results, it was possible to produce macroelement-containing products that contribute to the body’s daily macroelement needs more than usual.

Curative Measures for Cystic Fibrosis: A Perspective on Current Stem Cell–Based, Gene, and Small Molecule Therapies
Authors: Ajilore Priscilla O. , Yang Henry Y. , Kerasidis Anastassia , Castro Ruben
Published: October 2022

Cystic fibrosis (CF), which is caused by a defect or deficiency in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, continues to be a life-limiting multiorgan disease with severe phenotypic manifestations in affected patients. Current approaches to CF therapy have advanced far beyond symptomatic treatment, targeting the aberrant CFTR for therapeutic results. Novel small molecule treatments, or CF modulators, were the first to significantly improve the quality of life for patients with CF. These low-molecular-weight drugs can easily traverse the cell membrane and effect transcriptive changes in cells, albeit only for those with the specific mutations addressed by the drugs. However, other stem cell–based treatments, such as mesenchymal stromal cell therapy or induced pluripotent stem cell therapy, and gene therapies, such as CRISPR/Cas9 and viral vectors, are being researched as potential mutation-independent cures. These therapies have yet to progress to clinical trials, but their efficacies in various CF models prove their promise as future treatment options and potential cures. In this review, 3 potential contemporary therapies for CF and their current statuses and trajectories as clinical tools are discussed.

Published: October 2022

Olanzapine is a 2nd generation or atypical antipsychotic medicine belongs to thienobenzodiazepine group that blocks the serontonin (5-Hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) 5-HT2A and the Dopamine (D2) receptors in particular, and also blocks Muscarinic (M1), Histamine (H1), 5-HT2C, 5-HT3 to 5-HT6, adrenergic (αl), and D4 receptors. The olanzapine has greater affinity for blocking 5-HT2A receptors in comparison with D2 receptors in comparison to other antipsychotics except Clozapine and Quetiapine. Olanzapine is most commonly prescribed for treatment of overall positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, for acute, management of mania, and as Olanzapine- fluoxetine combination in bipolar depression. It is shown to possess antidepressant activity without destabilizing the mood. It is usually well tolerated But most common side effects of the drug is sedation. The patient stated that he was suffering from sleep problem and was facing problem in procuring Benzodiazepines. On suggestion of his friend, he started taking Olanzapine as sleeping pill. Soon he discovered that it would make him feel cloudiness of mind “get stoned”, to which he liked most. It was a prime motivation for abusing olanzapine.
Not all lymphadenopathy is lymphoma: A case report of Rosai-Dorfman disease

Published: October 2022

Background: Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytic disorder most commonly presenting as bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy in children and young adults. Although a heterogeneous entity with a range of clinical phenotypes, here we describe a presentation at one of the oldest ages found to date in the available literature and its spontaneous resolution in the absence of treatment. Case presentation: A 75-year-old man presented with new-onset right-sided cervical lymphadenopathy and fever, weight loss, fatigue, and anorexia. Physical exam revealed cervical and axillary lymphadenopathy. CT chest/abdomen/pelvis showed extensive adenopathy in the axillary regions, groin, mediastinum, retroperitoneum, splenic hilum, gastrohepatic ligament and porta hepatis, and celiac chains. Left axillary lymph node excisional biopsy revealed sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, consistent with a diagnosis of RDD. Flow cytometry showed mixed polytypic B-cell and T-cell subsets with polyclonal plasma cells. Immunofixation was negative for monoclonal immunoglobulins. On seeing a hematologist one month later, the patient’s symptoms had resolved and he had gained 10+ pounds. Discussion: Rosai-Dorfman Disease is a rare non–Langerhans cell histiocytosis most often seen in children and young adults, although it has been reported up to age 79 years. It typically presents with markedly enlarged, non-tender cervical lymphadenopathy; however, other nodal and extranodal sites can be involved. Due to the rarity of the disease there is a lack of robust data regarding specific treatment modalities, although consensus guidelines were published in 2018 recommending various treatment options, including corticosteroids, chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Spontaneous resolution may be observed but can take many months to years. Keywords: sRosai-Dorfman disease; Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy; Non–langerhans cell histiocytosis.
Between- and Within-Sex Differences in Body Composition Variables in Professional MMA Fighters and Boxers
Authors: Evans Cassandra , Kaminski Jackie , Peacock Corey , Algieri Chris , Rojas Jose , Santana Juan Carlos , Ricci Anthony , Antonio Jose
Published: October 2022

Introduction: There is a dearth of data on professional fighters, particularly in mixed martial arts. Thus, this investigation aimed to describe the body composition variables of male and female professional fighters.
Methods:  A total of 28 professional fighters participated in this investigation (n=22 male, n=6 female). The majority (68%) of the fighters competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) (n=19). The remaining fighters competed in various other promotions (e.g., WBO, IBF, UFC, Bellator, Eagle FC, Invicta.). Body composition was assessed via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Total and regional body composition was determined. 
Results: There were significant sex differences for Height: Male 180.3 ± 6.7 cm, Female 164.3 ± 6.8 cm (P < .001); Body mass: Male 86.5 ± 11.5 kg, Female 63.3 ± 4.9 kg (P < .001), lean body mass: Male 12.7 ± 2.7 kg, Female 46.7 ± 3.9 kg (P < .001), whole body bone mineral density: Male 1.53 ± 0.13 g/cm2, Female 1.26 ± 0.10 g/cm2 (P < .001), Z-score: Male 2.57 ± 0.88, Female 1.68 ± 1.06 (P < .05), regional bone mineral density (except for the head), regional percent fat (except for the head), and percent body fat; however, no differences were found for age or whole-body fat mass. In males, there was a significant relationship between body mass and lean mass with bone mineral density (p < 0.005, R2 = 0.357). Furthermore, there existed within-sex differences for male fighters. Male fighters' percent fat was significantly different when comparing their left vs. right sides for both the upper and lower extremities.
Conclusions: It is evident that profound sex differences exist vis a vis body composition in professional fighters. It should be noted that bone mineral density is exceedingly high in this group of athletes. Furthermore, there tends to be asymmetry in the percent fat of the extremities in male fighters.

Published: October 2022

Chitosan is naturally derived polysaccharide and has various engineering applications. However, chitosanin its original form is not suitable for practical use due to its sensitivity to wide range of pH and has poormorphological properties and low mechanical stability. The properties and performance of chitosan couldbe improved by crosslinking and formation of composites using appropriate additives. In this study, aneco-friendly chitosan based crosslinked organic-inorganichybrid biocomposites, such as chitosan/Bentonite (ChBT), chitosan/titanium oxide (ChTi), and chitosan/alumina (ChAl); were prepared and thestabilities of the prepared biocomposites were evaluated under acidic and aqueous environments. Thestabilities of the prepared biocomposites were evaluated under acidic and aqueous environments. Stabilityof ChBT, ChTi, and ChAl in acidic solution increased with increase in crosslinker and inorganic doses.Similarly, the stability of the prepared biocomposites increased in aqueous environment. ChAl has shownthe highest stability in both conditions.

Published: October 2022

Presently very few herbicides are available for groundnut cultivation, so field experiment was conductedto assess the efficacy of pre emeregent herbicide Diclosulam 84 % WDG on groundnut. Among the threelevels higher dose of diclosulam 84% WDG @ 26 g ai/ha found effective in controlling the weeds, whichrecorded lower weed density and weed dry weight compared to lower levels of diclosulam, Pendimethalin and oxyfluorfen. Diclosulam 84% WDG @ 26 g ai/ha recorded higher weed control efficiency (95.34%) andnumber of pods per plant (27), pod dry weight per plant (15.15 g) and pod yield (2470 kg/ha) compared tolower levels of diclosulam and other herbicides. Herbicide residual effect was studied on sunflower in thesame plot, there was no effect of diclosulam 84% WDG @ 26 g ai/ha on germination, yield parameters andyield of sunflower.

Published: October 2022

The fluoride removal from aqueous solution was investigated utilising Copper Pod adsorption in a fixedbed column. The effects of flow rate, bed height, and fluoride concentration at the start were studied.Breakthrough curves were plotted after determining maximum bed capacity, % fluoride elimination, andequilibrium fluoride uptake. With a lower flow velocity and a higher bed height, the percentage of fluorideremoved increased. At a flow rate of 5 ml/min, a bed height of 10 cm, and an initial fluoride concentrationof 5 ppm, a maximum bed capacity of 6.5 mg was achieved. The Three well-known models were used to fitdata from column studies known column models. The Yoon-Nelson model, the Thomas model, and theAdams-Bohart model. The experimental data and theoretical results remained in good accord. The studydiscovered that activated carbon can be used in a fixed bed column to remove fluoride.
