Cancer cells heavily utilise angiogenesis process to increase vascularisation for tumour mass growth and spread, so targeting this process is important to create an effective therapy. The AMHA1 strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an RNA virus with natural oncotropism. NDV induces direct tumour cytolysis, apoptosis, and immune stimulation. This work aimed to test NDV anti-angiogenic activity in a breast cancer model. To evaluate NDV’s antitumour effect in vivo, NDV was tested against mammary adenocarcinoma AN3 transplanted in syngeneic immunocompetent mice. In vivo antiangiogenic activity was evaluated by quantifying the blood vessels in treated and control tumour sections. In vitro experiments that exposed AMN3 mammary adenocarcinoma cells and Hep-2 laryngeal carcinoma cells to NDV at different time intervals were performed to identify the exact mechanism of anti-angiogenesis by using angiogenesis microarray slides. In vivo results showed significant tumour regression and significant decrease in blood vessel formation in treated tumour sections. The in vitro microarray analysis of 14 different angiogenesis factors revealed that NDV downregulated angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2, and epidermal growth factor in mammary adenocarcinoma cells. However, NDV elicited a different effect on Hep-2 as represented by the downregulation of inducible protein 10, intracellular adhesion molecule-1, and basic fibroblast growth factor beta in NDV-infected tumour cells. It was found out that microarray analysis results helped interpret the in vivo data. The results suggested that the NDV oncolytic strain reduced angiogenesis by interfering with angiogenesis factors that might reduce tumour cell proliferation, infiltration, and invasion.
The meta-narrative of self-fulfilling prophecy in the different research areas
Authors: Almadi Sejla
Published: March 2022

The self-fulfilling prophecy is a ubiquitous concept with a large amount of research to date, characterised by disciplinary diversity and thus a potential plurality in its narrative. A meta-narrative review was implemented to analyse the narratives of self-fulfilling prophecy in the different research areas. It identified 10 research areas, 22 themes and 7 subthemes where the phenomenon was adopted to describe and explain phenomena/events/outcomes. It revealed the self-fulfilling prophecy’s meta-narrative in the separate areas and in overall, compared to the original notion, and with regard to the critics. And it set up methodological and research area-related boundaries to implementation. Finally, the paper provided suggestions to future researches on internal validity and on the configuration of trending topics as the self-fulfilling prophecy.

Images Big and Soft: The Digital Archive Rendered Cinematic
Authors: Willis Holly
Published: March 2022

In his recent immersive media art project titled Machine Hallucinations, artist Refik Anadol collected over 100 million images of New York City from social media and, using machine learning, created a 30-minute immersive experimental cinema experience that visualized the database. On his website, Anadol explains that computation allows “a novel form of synesthetic storytelling through its multilayered manipulation of a vast visual archive beyond the conventional limits of the camera and the existing cinematographic techniques.” With this project, Anadol demonstrates a tendency shared by a group of contemporary media artists who work at the intersection of cinema and the digital archive and who use machine learning and generative adversarial networks to render specific somatic experiences in relation to thousands of images. This essay discusses this shared focus by examining projects by three artists who use computational processes to assemble, manipulate, and then exhibit an archive of images as a part of their practice and output, translating the archival into the cinematic. The projects are significant in their evocation of what has been named by Ingrid Hoelzl the “soft-image” or “post-image,” shifting from the single image as a solid, stable representation within a collection of similarly single images, to that of the distributed, in-process experiential image. Further, each example approaches the creation of the collection with varied intentions; and each presents the material in disparate modalities that, while deeply connected to the cinematic, produce very different sensory experiences. Together, the examples offer a perspective on the archive in our current moment’s transition from representation to computation.
Resisting extractive uses of the archive in Colombian experimental non-fiction
Authors: Vélez-Serna María A.
Published: March 2022

In the first two decades of the 21st century, a cluster of Colombian filmmakers developed a distinctive body of work engaging with the country’s histories of violence through critical documentary and experimental devices. A nuanced use of appropriated footage is a recurrent feature in these works, signalling their engagement with historical events through mediated representation and a ‘suspicion of the archive’ (Suárez 2020, 542). This paper identifies distinct patterns in the filmmakers’ relationship to the materiality of archive materials, focusing on selected works by Camilo Restrepo, Laura Huertas Millán, and Juan Soto. It argues that the remediation of digital found footage, personal and private archives enacts reflexive and distancing strategies in order to obstruct extractivist uses of images. In their choice and use of appropriated and archival moving images, filmmakers grapple with their own social and geographic positionality in ambiguous ways.
Uploading the Archive, Copy/Pasting the “Classical”
Authors: Palis Eleni
Published: March 2022

This video essay combines a series of fiction feature films, made between the late-1990s and 2010s, in which futuristic androids and robots trade in digitised classical Hollywood archival film fragments as pedagogical and expressive traces, amassing an amateur archive. I call these fragments “film quotations” to denote the process of selection, citation, and reappropriation in these film-within-a-film moments. In this video essay, Flubber (Mayfield, 1997), S1m0ne (Niccol, 2002), Teknolust (Leeson, 2002), WALL-E (Stanton, 2008), and Prometheus (Scott, 2012) all “quote” classical Hollywood films, in the form of short excerpts of sound and image, projecting (or uploading?) Hollywood’s archival past onto their imagined versions of the future. As this cohort of robots explore and amass personal visual archives, mining Hollywood history for meaning and mimicry, their viewership reveals several interrelated classical Hollywood ideologies and biases: the robot-amassed archives replicate hyper-traditional behaviour, both in conforming to strict copyright rules and in depictions of gender, sexuality, and monogamy. While only Teknolust self-consciously and critically replicates hegemonic, heternormative media logics, this essay seeks to reveal how these robots’ sensorial experience of the archive select and project a misleading selection of history into the future. While touting a paradoxically easy-to-access Hollywood history, these robots cling to a tightly limited, licensed, entirely white and compulsorily cis-het digitised Hollywood archive.

Significance Statement

In vivo cleavage of IgG by an endopeptidase is a novel therapeutic strategy for anti-GBM disease. Despite plasma exchange, most patients become dependent on dialysis, especially those with AKI at diagnosis. In an encouraging pilot study, two thirds of 15 patients selected because of poor prognosis exhibited kidney survival at 6 months without major safety issues after receiving a single infusion of imlifidase. The drug has been used in patients who have undergone a transplant with multiple HLA antibodies. Our study supports further use of the drug in clinical situations in which IgG autoantibodies threaten vital organ function. However, randomized trials are necessary to confirm the findings.

Background

The prognosis for kidney survival is poor in patients presenting with circulating anti–glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies and severe kidney injury. It is unknown if treatment with an endopeptidase that cleaves circulating and kidney bound IgG can alter the prognosis.

Methods

An investigator-driven phase 2a one-arm study (EudraCT 2016–004082–39) was performed in 17 hospitals in five European countries. A single dose of 0.25 mg/kg of imlifidase was given to 15 adults with circulating anti-GBM antibodies and an eGFR <15 ml/min per 1.73m2. All patients received standard treatment with cyclophosphamide and corticosteroids, but plasma exchange only if autoantibodies rebounded. The primary outcomes were safety and dialysis independency at 6 months.

Results

At inclusion, ten patients were dialysis dependent and the other five had eGFR levels between 7 and 14 ml/min per 1.73m2. The median age was 61 years (range 19–77), six were women, and six were also positive for anti–neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. Then 6 hours after imlifidase infusion, all patients had anti-GBM antibodies levels below the reference range of a prespecified assay. At 6 months 67% (ten out of 15) were dialysis independent. This is significantly higher compared with 18% (nine out of 50) in a historical control cohort (P<0.001, Fisher's exact test). Eight serious adverse events (including one death) were reported, none assessed as probably or possibly related to the study drug.

Conclusions

In this pilot study, the use of imlifidase was associated with a better outcome compared with earlier publications, without major safety issues, but the findings need to be confirmed in a randomized controlled trial.

Juncture prosody across languages: Similar production but dissimilar perception
Authors: Ip Martin Ho Kwan , Cutler Anne
Published: March 2022

How do speakers of languages with different intonation systems produce and perceive prosodic junctures in sentences with identical structural ambiguity? Native speakers of English and of Mandarin produced potentially ambiguous sentences with a prosodic juncture either earlier in the utterance (e.g., “He gave her # dog biscuits,” “他给她#狗饼干 ”), or later (e.g., “He gave her dog # biscuits,” “他给她狗 #饼干 ”). These productiondata showed that prosodic disambiguation is realised very similarly in the two languages, despite some differences in the degree to which individual juncture cues (e.g., pausing) were favoured. In perception experiments with a new disambiguation task, requiring speeded responses to select the correct meaning for structurally ambiguous sentences, language differences in disambiguation response time appeared: Mandarin speakers correctly disambiguated sentences with earlier juncture faster than those with later juncture, while English speakers showed the reverse. Mandarin-speakers with L2 English did not show their native-language response time pattern when they heard the English ambiguous sentences. Thus even with identical structural ambiguity and identically cued production, prosodic juncture perception across languages can differ.

Published: March 2022

In the maintenance system, efforts are needed to improve the effectiveness of the maintenance system and organization. For effective maintenance planning it is necessary to have a good understanding of the reliability and component availability of the system. For this reason, it is necessary to determine the remaining component life using Remaining Useful Life (RUL), so that maintenance tasks can be planned effectively. The purpose of this study is to determine the remaining life of the safety A component from SSC RSG-GAS based on reliability analysis. The method used in this paper is a statistical approach to estimating RUL. The Weibull hazard model is determined for modeling the hazard function so that it can be integrated in the reliability analysis. The model is verified using data from the safety A component from the SSC RSG-GAS. The results obtained from the analysis are useful for estimating the remaining useful lives of these components which can then be used to plan for effective maintenance and help control unplanned outages. The results obtained can be used for maintenance development and preventive repair planning.

Published: March 2022

The acceleration of national development, especially in the industrial sector, requires an adequate national energy supply. There are various types of energy sources which include conventional energy sources as well as new and renewable energy sources including nuclear energy. The problem is how to utilize these energy sources into energy that is ready to be utilized. BATAN as a research and development institution in the nuclear field has taken the initiative to contribute to the development of technology for providing electricity and other thermal energy, particularly reactor technology as a power plant and a provider of thermal energy. This research aims to analyze the design of the IPWR type SMR reactor cogeneration energy conversion system. The IPWR reactor cogeneration energy conversion system which also functions as a reactor coolant is arranged in an indirect cycle configuration or Rankine cycle. Between the primary cooling system and the secondary cooling system is mediated by a heat exchanger which also functions as a steam generator. The analysis was carried out using ChemCAD computer software to study the temperature characteristics and performance parameters of the IPWR reactor cogeneration energy conversion system. The simulation results show that the temperature of saturated steam coming out of the steam generating unit is around 505.17 K. Saturated steam is obtained in the reactor power range between 40 MWth to 100 MWth. The results of the calculation of the energy utilization factor (EUF) show that the IPWR cogeneration configuration can increase the value of the energy utilization factor up to 91.20%.
Ekspertni sustav za podučavanje japanskog slikovnog pisma kanji

Expert system for teaching Japanese Kanji characters. In this doctoral thesis, we presented the model of an expert system for teaching or learning Japanese logographic characters kanji. Expert system is a field of artificial intelligence, a rule-based system that helps users in decision-making and consists of an inference engine and a knowledge base. In this thesis, we designed the model of an expert system that helps the user decide the optimal kanji learning order. A user inputs kanji-learning-related parameters and is given a character list as output. The input parameters include a textbook used, goal number of characters, students' level, student's goals, and omitted characters. We learned that the most common kanji in Japanese texts are more useful to know earlier in one's studies because they follow Zipf's law and one is able to understand more characters in text by knowing more frequent characters. In addition to that, many kanji characters are made from components that are characters themselves. It is easier to memorise the parts before the whole, or components before the complex characters. Therefore we used two basic principles in optimisation of learning order. Firstly, the system takes into account the “part before whole” principle and uses an adapted topological sort algorithm. Secondly, it computes the relative weights of characters based on their frequency in corpora, such as literature, newspaper, Wikipedia, and Twitter web corpus. The expert system was evaluated by using one of the system’s output throughout a two-semester study at a university-level Japanese language course. In a kanji-focused module, the students (N ? 43) evaluated the kanji learning order made by the system. Comparing it to the textbook order, they rated it more favourably (3.023 out of 5 compared to 4.027 out of 5) and 72% agreed or strongly agreed that the new order improved their learning process. Additionally, the participants were very happy with this learning method, rating it 4.476 out of 5 on average, and passed the module with high marks (60% of students achieved A+, while 77.5% achieved either A+ or A). Designing the model of this expert system and evaluating it in the practical teaching experiment lead us to believe that expert systems do have a role in education, specifically in curriculum design and class planning. We assert that the application of an expert system in the field of teaching kanji can help both teachers and learners to better organise and plan their learning and achieve desired results quicker.

Published: March 2022

Purpose. To determine the impact of exercise modes on the effectiveness of teaching boys aged 15 the press headstand and handstand.

Materials and methods. The study participants were 20 boys aged 15. The children and their parents were fully informed about all the features of the study and gave their consent to participate in the experiment. To solve the tasks set, the following research methods were used: study and analysis of scientific and methodological literature; pedagogical observation, timing of training tasks; pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics, discriminant analysis.

Results. The assumption was made about a significant influence of the modes of alternating exercise repetitions and the rest interval on the effectiveness of teaching boys aged 15 the press headstand and handstand. The study found that statistically significant differences in the number of repetitions are observed in performing all training tasks. The boys aged 15 who use the second mode (6 sets 2 times each with a rest interval of 60 s) need fewer repetitions to master series of motor tasks 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The boys aged 15 who use the first mode (6 sets 1 time each with a rest interval of 60 s) need fewer repetitions to master the second series of training tasks (exercises to master starting and ending positions).

Conclusions. The analysis of standardized, structure coefficients, and group centroids revealed that exercise modes significantly influence the process of teaching boys aged 15 the press headstand and handstand during physical education classes. The results of classification of the groups show that 100 % of the original grouped cases were classified correctly. The study found that the mode of 6 sets 2 times each with a rest interval of 60 s is more effective than the mode of 6 sets 1time with a rest interval of 60 s when teaching series of motor tasks 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
The Day After: жизнь и судьба проектов соучаствующего проектирования в городах России
Authors: Афанасьев Кирилл Станиславович , Степанова Екатерина Сергеевна
Published: March 2022

В последние годы соучаствующее проектирование стало популярной социальной технологией, позволяющей, с одной стороны, обеспечить высокий уровень вовлечения граждан в процесс формирования городской среды, а с другой — успешно имитировать эту вовлеченность. При этом отбор объектов для обсуждения, определение круга экспертов, процесс реализации и регулирования дальнейшего использования остается в компетенции органов власти. Общую проблему можно сформулировать в виде многоступенчатого вопроса: «Что дальше? Какова судьба проекта после его завершения? Как будет использоваться общественное пространство? Какие виды деятельности, заявленные в ходе обсуждения, станут актуальными? Какие риски, не учтенные ранее, будут препятствовать интеграции объекта в ткань повседневной жизни горожан?». Исследовательский вопрос состоит в определении степени и характера влияния процедуры соучаствующего проектирования и/или отдельных ее элементов на устойчивое функционирование новых и реконструируемых общественных пространств. Методология получения данных предполагает анализ опыта соучаствующего проектирования в российских городах (Москва, Санкт-Петербург, Вологда, Казань и др.) с точки зрения дальнейшей судьбы обсуждаемых проектов после их реализации. Это анализ визуальных данных, опросов участников, экспертов и организаторов. Необходимым элементом определения роли указанной процедуры является сравнительный анализ итогов реализации проектов создания общественных пространств как с использованием методов соучаствующего проектирования, так и без них. Итогом исследования является определение наиболее эффективных механизмов формирования городской среды при помощи разных методов, в том числе соучаствующего проектирования. В частности, выстраивается схема длительных антропологических и социологических исследований, дополняемых анализом больших данных, корректируемых на завершающем этапе оценкой и моделированием пользовательского опыта для обеспечения реализации городскими общественными пространствами запланированных функций и сценариев поведения.

A machine learning method for soil conditioning automated decision-making of EPBM : hybrid GBDT and Random Forest Algorithm
Authors: Lin Lin , Guo Hao , Lv Yancheng , Liu Jie , Tong Changsheng , Yang Shuqin
Published: March 2022

There lacks an automated decision-making method for soil conditioning of EPBM with high accuracy and efficiency that is applicable to changeable geological conditions and takes drive parameters into consideration. A hybrid method of Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) and random forest algorithm to make decisions on soil conditioning using foam is proposed in this paper to realize automated decision-making. Relevant parameters include decision parameters (geological parameters and drive parameters) and target parameters (dosage of foam). GBDT, an efficient algorithm based on decision tree, is used to determine the weights of geological parameters, forming 3 parameters sets. Then 3 decision-making models are established using random forest, an algorithm with high accuracy based on decision tree. The optimal model is obtained by Bayesian optimization. It proves that the model has obvious advantages in accuracy compared with other methods. The model can realize real-time decision-making with high accuracy under changeable geological conditions and reduce the experiment cost.
Allied health workers’ role in patient education in the United States
Authors: Moyoh Walter , Gondwe Kaboni W. , Andreou Panayiota , Philippou Elena , Papageorgiou Alexia
Published: March 2022

Introduction: Patient education (PE) has been traditionally seen as the role of nurses and physicians, while allied health workers (AHWs)-who make up the biggest population of the US healthcare workforce-are sometimes reduced to providing supportive roles. This article reviews the available literature on the role of AHWs in providing PE in the US.Methods: This review was based on a search of the databases Academic Search Ultimate; Health Source-Consumer Edition; Health Source-Nursing/Academic Edition and MEDLINE initially conducted between January 10 and February 3, 2021, and later re-done between December 20 and December 22, 2021. This review applied guidelines for narrative reviews (Ferrari 2015). The search looked at papers published between 2001 and 2021, which discussed allied health professions relevant to the US health system.Results: The review derived 18 articles from the search and two articles from the reference lists of the 18 articles. The review found that AHWs seldom performed PE, although the profession of physical therapy made efforts to formalize participation in PE. It also found that expansion of roles for AHWs was warranted, although additional training may be required to develop effective PE competencies among AHWs. Finally, it found existing challenges such as interprofessional rivalries and time limitations that affected the incorporation of AHWs in PE.Conclusions: AHWs have untapped potential to contribute more to the US health system through delivery of effective PE. Policy adjustments are needed to maximize the input of AHWs in PE. Increased interprofessional collaboration in the US health system is needed to facilitate the extension of PE roles to AHWs. Further research is needed to better understand the factors limiting AHWs’ involvement in PE.

In the southern part the Adriatic, gelatinous macrozooplankton fauna is poorly known compared to the other taxa. Therefore, our goal was to collect and systematize all available phenological data and abundances of gelatinous organisms based on scientific surveys from 1996 to 2020 and a ”citizen science“ sighting program in the southern Croatian waters. The inter-annual variability and seasonality of planktonic Cnidaria and Ctenophora were described. A total of 590 reports was received from citizens, which summed up to result in 870 data together with the scientists’ records. In total, 15 species were recorded. Of these, scyphomedusa Pelagia noctiluca accounted for 34 %, followed by ctenophora Cestum veneris (19 %) and the scyphomedusa Cothylorhiza tuberculata (17 %). Mass occurrence was most frequently found in P. noctiluca and then in C. tuberculata and C. veneris. Isolated mass occurrence was recorded for the freshwater hydromedusa Craspedacusta sowerbii, found in Lake Kuti near the mouth of the Neretva River, and for the scyphomedusa Aurelia cf. solida. The three species A. solida, Mnemiopsis leidyi and C. sowerbii are not native to European waters. Considered that alien species are invading the Adriatic Sea and human impact and global warming are increasing, it is crucial to carefully monitor the occurrence of gelatinous zooplankton taxa and to conduct studies focused on deciphering their ecological impact in marine ecosystems. Therefore, our empirical analysis of 25 years of observations provides essential information on the variation of gelatinous zooplankton in the Southern Adriatic region.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Subjective Health Complaints (SHC) inventory, which can be used to monitor health complaints experienced by the hospital support staff.

Materials and Methods: In this methodological study, data were collected from 240 hospital support staff working in five different hospitals in Turkey. Participants were asked demographic questions and administered a Turkish translated SHC inventory. Construct validity was confirmed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency was assessed by calculating the Cronbach’s alpha and split-half reliability coefficients.

Results: The Turkish SHC inventory with 29 items showed acceptable content validity, construct validity, and internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.905). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the original five-dimensional structure of the scale. Model fit indices implied a good model-data fit: the normed chi-square value of 1.488 (χ2 = 513.423, df=345); error of root mean square approximation of 0.045; comparative fit index of 0.939 and standardized root mean square residuals of 0.060.

Conclusion: The findings assert the reliability and validity of the Turkish SHC inventory, and recommend its use as a suitable tool for monitoring health complaints experienced by health service workers.

To address the low conversion efficiency and high ultrasonic attenuation in the detection of hot castings and forgings, the pulse compression technique (PCT) is an important and efficient method for improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and range resolution of ultrasonic echoes.
A finite element model was established for the process of detection using a spiral coil electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) with three types of excitation, these being chirp signals, Barkercoded signals and combined Barker-coded signals, and the PCT processions were also provided. The
SNR and range resolution of the PCTs with three types of excitation were compared using simulations and verified by experiments. The self-developed and water-cooled EMAT with three PCTs was used to measure a high-temperature forging and the pulse compression effect was also compared. The results
indicate that the PCT with Barker-coded excitation has the highest SNR and the PCT with chirp excitation and combined Barker-coded excitation processes a higher range resolution. When the tested forging is at 710°C and compared with the traditional tone-burst excitation, the SNR from the
PCT with combined Barker-coded excitation can be improved by 8.5 dB and the ultrasonic echo width can be reduced by 100%.

The field of Big Data Analytics does not have a linear capacity for growth. It is based on a specified structure. Big data is now most useful for data backup purposes, rather than for anything else. Big Data is a collection of data sets that are both numerous and complicated in nature, and it is becoming increasingly popular. They consist of both organized and unstructured data that is constantly changing at a rate that is inconvenient for traditional relational database systems and existing analytical tools to keep pace with. There is constantly some new information being introduced. It also contributes to the resolution of India's major concerns. It also contributes to closing the data gap. Healthcare is the preservation or advancement of health by the prevention, interpretation, and medical treatment of the disorder, ill health, abuse, and other significant physical, mental, and spiritual degeneration in the mortal body. Health care is conveyed by health professionals in the form of unified health experts, specialists, physician associates, midwives, nurses, antibiotics, pharmacy, psychology, and other health-related fields of expertise. Additionally, it has an introduction, challenging elements and concerns, Big Data Analytics in use, technical specifications, research applications, industrial applications, and future applications.

The Indonesian beef consumption increases sharply during Ramadan and made a difference between supply and demand. The research aimed to study the demand pattern of burger patties and determine a suitable forecasting method compared between quantitative and intervention forecasting methods. The actual demand was intervened by experts based on reasons such as supply shortage, holidays, promotion, and government projects. The daily sales of burger patties were collected for a year. Then, the data were divided into training and testing data. Later, time-series forecasting was performed by software. Then, the best forecasting method for daily data was selected between Individual forecasting and Top-Down forecasting. Similarly, for weekly data, the best forecasting method was compared between aggregate forecasting and Bottom-Up forecasting. Then, repeat the process for the intervened sales data. The result revealed that the mean absolute percentage error was improved after intervention by about 3.64%-58.83%. The combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches improved forecast accuracy. In addition, the aggregate level or weekly sales forecast had higher forecast accuracy than the disaggregated level. The Bottom-Up forecast performs better than the aggregate forecast. Hence, we recommended the company plans based on weekly data and implement Every Low Price to reduce the demand fluctuation.
BIOLOGÍA REPRODUCTIVA Y AMENAZAS A LA FOCHA ANDINA Fulica ardesiaca (RALLIDAE) EN EL LAGO SAN PABLO (IMBABURA, ECUADOR)
Authors: Mena Patricio
Published: March 2022

Durante 10 meses estudié la biología reproductiva de la Focha Andina Fulica ardesiaca en el lago San Pablo, norte de Ecuador. Hice observaciones semanales a una pareja focal y de manera esporádica a otras cuatro parejas entre octubre de 2017 y junio 2018. Las variables que estudié incluyeron: características del nido y de los huevos, periodo de incubación, éxito reproductivo y cambio de plumaje de los polluelos desde la eclosión hasta la dispersión. El periodo reproductivo de la pareja focal se extendió por 251 días entre el cortejo y el transporte de material para la construcción del nido hasta la dispersión. Los nidos fueron plataformas de material vegetal construidas en los bordes poco profundos del lago. El tamaño de la nidada de la pareja focal fue de seis huevos, y en las otras parejas entre 3-6 huevos. El periodo de incubación de la pareja focal fue de 20 días, y en otras dos parejas duró 21,7 ± 1,5 días. Los pichones nacieron cubiertos por plumones negros y blancos y en las alas, garganta y nuca tenían plumón rojizo anaranjado. Después de 22 días aparecieron las primeras plumas de sangre de las alas, y comenzaron cambios de color en algunas partes de la cabeza, cuerpo y cola, pasando por blanco, gris y café. A los 144 días, sus plumas eran de color café oscuro con algunas plumas parcialmente pigmentadas de negro pizarra y el escudo frontal adquirió su color distintivo. Estos resultados fueron consistentes con las observaciones en F.ardesiaca en Perú, aunque en algunos aspectos difirieron de otras especies del género.

Resonance could occur as a wave propagates through the soil resulting from seismic vulnerability activities. The resonance impact resulting from the local site effects may cause civil infrastructures failure such as railway bridge collapse. This study presented possibilities of the resonance in the BH77 railway bridge in Lampung, Indonesia. Characteristics of the site effect around the bridge were evaluated using microtremor data. Measurements were made at nine locations, with two points were on the bridge, and seven other points were scattered around the bridge. Microtremor data were analyzed using the Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) method to find natural frequencies and amplification factors. Furthermore, the site effect around the bridge was analyzed using the natural frequency, the amplification factor, and the seismic vulnerability index (Kg) to have site effect characteristics. Results of the study indicated that the research area showed amplification factors (A0) ranging from 5.15 to 12.19. The site natural frequency obtained from the study was about 4.01-7.27 Hz. The seismic vulnerability index in the study area was 4.2-19.4. The obtained natural frequency (F0) on the bridge had a value between 5.20 and 6.19 Hz, and the natural frequency value at the site was 4.01-7.27 Hz, respectively. This phenomenon indicated that there would be a possibility of resonance on the railway bridge. It is interesting to note that this case study might be beneficial to practicing engineers and researchers.
