Since the invention of whole genome prediction (WGP) more than two
decades ago, breeding programs have established extensive reference
populations that are cultivated under diverse environmental conditions.
The introduction of the CGM-WGP model, which integrates crop growth
models (CGM) with WGP, has expanded the applications of WGP to the
prediction of unphenotyped traits in untested environments, including
future climates. However, CGMs require multiple seasonal environmental
records, unlike WGP, which makes CGM-WGP less accurate when applied to
historical reference populations that lack crucial environmental inputs.
Here, we investigated the ability of CGM-WGP to approximate missing
environmental variables to improve prediction accuracy. Two
environmental variables in a wheat CGM, initial soil water content
(InitlSoilWCont) and initial nitrate profile, were sampled from
different normal distributions separately or jointly in each iteration
within the CGM-WGP algorithm. Our results showed that sampling
InitlSoilWCont alone gave the best results and improved the prediction
accuracy of grain number by 0.07, yield by 0.06 and protein content by
0.03. When using the sampled InitlSoilWCont values as an input for the
traditional CGM, the average narrow-sense heritability of the
genotype-specific parameters (GSPs) improved by 0.05, with GNSlope,
PreAnthRes and VernSen showing the greatest improvements. Moreover, the
root mean square of errors for grain number and yield was reduced by
about 7% for CGM and 31% for CGM-WGP when using the sampled
InitlSoilWCont values. Our results demonstrate the advantage of sampling
missing environmental variables in CGM-WGP to improve prediction
accuracy and increase the size of the reference population by enabling
the utilisation of historical data that is missing environmental
records.
Trustworthiness assessment as an inclusion criterion for systematic reviews -- what is the impact on results?
Authors: Alfirevic Zarko , Weeks Jo , Cuthbert Anna
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND There is increasing concern that a significant proportion of
randomised controlled trials (RCTs) included in Cochrane reviews may not
be trustworthy. Applying a trustworthiness screening tool (TST) has
already had a clinically important effect on several reviews published
by the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group. OBJECTIVES We wanted to
assess the impact of removing untrustworthy RCTs from already- published
Cochrane reviews on a defined clinical area (ante- and post-natal
nutritional interventions). METHODS We applied the tool to 18 Cochrane
reviews (375 RCTs). The tool had four domains: i) is the research
governance trustworthy; ii) are the baseline characteristics
trustworthy; iii) is the study feasible; iv) are the results
plausible?). When additional information was needed, authors were
contacted using a standard template. At least two attempts were made to
contact the authors. At the end of the evaluation process each study was
classified as: i) included (YES to all domains); ii) excluded (retracted
study); or iii) awaiting classification (any NO to the TST questions).
RESULTS 95/375 studies (25%) were removed, affecting 14/18 (78%)
reviews. 13/18 reviews (72%) showed a difference in the Summary of
Findings tables (direction and size of effects and/or GRADE ratings).
6/18 Cochrane reviews (33%) were judged to require updating because of
important differences in either in their conclusions, implication for
practice, and/or implication for research. CONCLUSIONS Formal assessment
of trustworthiness and inclusion only of studies that satisfy
prespecified criteria for trustworthiness affect conclusions in a
relatively large number of Cochrane reviews, with potentially important
clinical implications for practice and research. The lack of consensus
regarding the best tool(s) for assessing trustworthiness cannot be an
excuse for ignoring this issue in future Cochrane reviews.

Published: September 2023

It is important to solve the problem of metal particle pollution inside
the DC GIL. Using numerical simulation to calculate the trajectory of
metal particles is an important method of designing particle traps and
drive electrodes. In this paper, a 3D simulation method of dynamic
particle motion randomly based on quadratic Rodrigues’ rotation is
proposed to solve the trajectory of metal particles inside the DC GIL,
considering the random reflection. Based on this model, the influence
characteristics of random reflection angle, gravity inclination,
particle size and other factors on particle motion are analyzed. From
the results, the trapping efficiency of particle traps becomes weaker
under the effect of gravity, and particles with larger sizes are more
likely to escape. The drive electrodes set at the high voltage conductor
can prevent particles from crossing the drive electrode. It can
effectively improve the capture efficiency of the particle trap and
increase the capture-escape ratio more than 45.9%.

Authors: Bórawski Piotr
Published: September 2023

W pracy analizie poddano handel zagraniczny mlekiem i produktami mleczarskimi. Wstąpienie Polski do Unii Europejskiej miało korzystny wpływ na handel mlekiem i artykułami mleczarskimi z powodu otwarcia rynków oraz eliminacji barier w handlu zagranicznym miedzy krajami członkowskimi. Wartość eksportu serów i twarogów wzrosła od 27,2 mln EUR w 2005 roku do 691,8 mln EUR w roku 2013. Podobne tendencje wzrostowe zaobserwowano w przypadku mleka i serwatki w proszku, mleka płynnego i śmietany, jogurtu i napojów mlecznych, masła i tłuszczów mlecznych oraz lodów. Wskazano główne kraje, do których Polska eksportuje mleko i przetwory mleczne oraz importerów. W analizie danych posłużono się metodami opisowymi i graficznymi. Materiał źródłowy stanowiły dane Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego, Instytutu Ekonomiki Rolnictwa i Gospodarki Żywnościowej - PIB w Warszawie oraz Ministerstwa Rolnictwa i Rozwoju Wsi. W celu analizy czynników kształtujących saldo bilansu handlowego artykułami mleczarskimi posłużono się modelem regresji wielorakiej. Za zmienne objaśniające przyjęto: X1 (kurs euro), X2 (ceny płacone rolnikom za mleko w Polsce), X3 (ceny płacone rolnikom za mleko w UE), X4 (indeks światowych cen żywności FAO-produkty mleczarskie) oraz X5 (produkcja sprzedana przemysłu spożywczego). Natomiast zmienne objaśniane tworzyły kolejno salda obrotów handlowych: Y1 (saldo handlu zagranicznego artykułów mleczarskich), Y2 (saldo handlu zagranicznego serów i twarogów), Y3 (saldo handlu zagranicznego mleka i serwatki w proszku), Y4 (saldo handlu zagranicznego mleka płynnego i śmietany) oraz Y5 (saldo handlu zagranicznego jogurtami i napojami mlecznymi). Przeprowadzona analiza statystyczna wykazała, że do grupy czynników kształtujących saldo eksportu artykułami mleczarskimi zaliczyć należy kurs euro oraz ceny płacone rolnikom za mleko w UE.

Authors: Zuba-Ciszewska Maria
Published: September 2023

W Polsce następuje koncentracja przetwórstwa mleka w wyniku spadku liczby mleczarń i wzrostu ogólnej produkcji wyrobów mleczarskich. W pracy dokonano analizy struktury mleczarń w Polsce i w Niemczech (najbliższego Polsce konkurenta na rynku mleka) ze względu na skalę produkcji wybranych produktów mleczarskich w latach 2003-2012. Analizie poddano liczbę mleczarń wg różnej skali produkcji (L), wielkość produkcji w różnych skalach (P), i przeciętną w nich produkcję mleczarni (P/L) w przypadku czterech produktów tj. masła, sera, mleka spożywczego i wyrobów mlecznych w proszku. W latach 2003-2012 w Polsce wzrosła przeciętna skala produkcji mleczarni produkującej masło, ser, mleko spożywcze i produkty mleczne w proszku. Wyniki koncentracji w mleczarniach były zróżnicowane ze względu na ich skalę produkcji a także rodzaj produktu. W pracy wykorzystano wskaźnik koncentracji i krzywą Lorenza.
Typologia krajów Unii Europejskiej ze względu na znaczenie i poziom korzystania z usług weterynaryjnych w rolnictwie
Authors: Kołodziejczak Małgorzata
Published: September 2023

Celem artykułu było utworzenie typologii krajów Unii Europejskiej w oparciu o zmienne charakteryzujące i/lub determinujące poziom korzystania z usług weterynaryjnych. Badanie wykonano z zastosowaniem metody analizy porównawczej, a grupy typologiczne krajów Unii Europejskiej wyodrębniono metodą Warda. Na podstawie analizy wartości wskaźników mających znaczenie ekonomiczne i statystyczne, wyodrębniono cztery grupy typologiczne (typy) państw Unii Europejskiej. Można zauważyć, że wartość usług weterynaryjnych jest związana z wielkością pogłowia zwierząt gospodarskich, które w naturalny sposób narzuca konieczność korzystania z tych usług oraz z intensywnością produkcji zwierzęcej. Ponadto stopień korzystania z usług weterynaryjnych wynika z poziomu rozwoju gospodarczego państwa, a tym samym i rolnictwa, stąd istotne znaczenie tych usług w rolnictwie krajów wysoko rozwiniętych, w których występuje większa skłonność do korzystania z usług zewnętrznych.

Modeling the growth dynamics of water lettuce, Pistia stratiotes L. in wastewater
Authors: Milicevic Dragan
Published: September 2023

This study was aimed at assessing water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.) biomass growth, which was tested at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture of Nis under partially controlled conditions during a 70-day-long test, with a mixture of communal wastewater and water from the shaft at the hydraulic engineering demonstration facility as a source of nutrient matter. The biomass measured after the 70-day experiment ranged from 4.31 to 4.71 kg WW/m2 (average 4.48 kg WW/ m2). The daily absolute growth rate (AGR) was 58.81 g/m2 day, the daily increase rate (DIR) was 16.16 %/day, the average daily relative growth rate (RGR) was 0.0359 g/g day, and the biomass doubling time (DT) was 32.94 days. The following models were used to model the dynamics of water lettuce biomass growth: the exponential model (average MSE 0.0485, average coefficient of determination (R2) to 0.9757); the logistic model (mean squared error (MSE) 0.0049, R2 0.9976), and the sigmoidal model (average MSE 0.0003, average R2 0.9999). All models have a high accuracy; however, the exponential models give a continuous increase in biomass over time, practically to infinity, without taking into account that under conditions of increased plant density and reduced availability of resources, biomass growth slows down and, therefore, they are not suitable for application in real conditions. The logistic model (environmental capacity 6.1680 kg/m2 after about 150 days, ti 53.8587 days, ta 32.8295 days, tb 74.8879), and sigmoidal model (environmental capacity 5.2903 kg/m2 after about 150 days, ti 50.2972 days, ta 34.3072 days, tb 66.2872 days) adequately describe the biomass growth of the growth phase of water lettuce with high precision, which is essential for planning appropriate preventive and active measures to control the spread of water lettuce as an invasive plant and minimize negative impacts on waterbodies in Serbia.

Three Schiff base Cu(II) complexes, (N,N?-bis(acetylacetone)propylenediimine) copper(II) complex, [Cu(acac2pn)] (1), (N,N'-bis-(benzoylacetone) propylenediimine)copper(II) complex, [Cu(phacac2pn)] (2) and (N,N?-bis- -(trifluoroacetylacetone)propylenediimine)copper(II) complex, [Cu(tfacac2pn)] (3), were used to investigate the interactions with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using the electronic absorption and spectroscopic fluorescence methods. UV?Vis absorption studies showed that studied complexes interact with DNA molecule and exhibit moderate binding affinity. Fluorescence studies of complexes 1?3 also showed a possibility for DNA intercalation as well as a relatively high binding ability toward BSA. Among the tested complexes, the highest affinity for DNA and BSA molecules was shown by complex 1. Cytotoxic analyses, performed on human colorectal carcinoma HCT-116 and healthy lung fibroblast MRC-5 cell lines, showed that complex 2 exhibited activity on both cell lines, while complexes 1 and 3 did not show any activity.

Understanding differences in adipose gene expression between individuals with different levels of clinical traits may reveal the genes and mechanisms leading to cardiometabolic diseases. However, adipose is a heterogeneous tissue. To account for cell-type heterogeneity, we estimated cell-type proportions in 859 subcutaneous adipose tissue samples with bulk RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) using a reference single nuclear RNA-seq dataset. Cell-type proportions were associated with cardiometabolic traits; for example, higher macrophage and adipocyte proportions were associated with higher and lower body mass index (BMI), respectively. We evaluated cell-type proportions and BMI as covariates in tests of association between >25,000 gene expression levels and 22 cardiometabolic traits. For >95% of genes, the optimal, or best fit, models included BMI as a covariate, and for 79% of associations, the optimal models also included cell type. After adjusting for the optimal covariates, we identified 2,664 significant associations (P ≤ 2e-6) for 1,252 genes and 14 traits. Among genes proposed to affect cardiometabolic traits based on colocalized genome-wide association study and adipose expression quantitative trait locus signals, 25 showed a corresponding association between trait and gene expression levels. Overall, these results suggest the importance of modeling cell-type proportion when identifying gene expression associations with cardiometabolic traits.

Article Highlights

· Our goal was to create a resource of trait-gene expression associations on a genome-wide scale across several cardiometabolic traits that accounts for cell-type heterogeneity.

· We aimed to determine if cell-type composition affects trait-gene associations.

· We found that adjusting for both BMI and cell-type proportion is the best-fitting model for most trait-gene expression associations in adipose tissue. We identified 2,664 significant associations for 1,252 genes and 14 traits using a linear model that accounts for cell-type composition and BMI.

· Our findings suggest that cell-type composition should be considered when assessing the association between adipose gene expression and cardiometabolic traits.

Type 2 diabetes is associated with cognitive impairment and a twofold increased risk of dementia compared to age-matched individuals without diabetes. Given that the eye and the brain share similar embryologic origin and anatomical features the retina offers a unique “window” to the brain. In this study we wanted to determine whether there was a difference in retinal imaging-based neuronal and vascular markers in individuals with type 2 diabetes with or without minimal cognitive impairment (MCI). We included 134 persons with type 2 diabetes. Based on neuropsychological tests the prevalence of MCI was 28%. We performed 7-field color fundus photos, optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT-Angiography and retinal oximetry in order to analysis retinal markers. In a multivariable cluster analysis, persons with MCI had significant thinner macular retinal nerve fiber layer and macular ganglion cell layer, and less venular oxygen saturation in the nasal quadrant compared to those without MCI. There were no differences in retinal vessel density, fractal dimension, width, tortuosity or OCT-A markers. People with type 2 diabetes and MCI demonstrate alterations in retinal structure and metabolism, suggesting non-invasive retinal markers may be useful to detect those at risk of cognitive dysfunction in people with type 2 diabetes.

Periodontal Disease is the most common chronic inflammatory bacterial disease that dramatically affects tooth loss and consequent adverse effects not only on the patient's aesthetics and self-confidence but also on the general condition of the body. Because of the high expectation of aggressive behaviour of periodontal disease, the ability to diagnosis and treat early may decrease the risk of tooth loss. So a complete understanding of its silent characteristic is the key. Aim: to thoroughly light on the significance of the early diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases which will take part in good prognosis and better outcomes on oral and general health. Methodology: A systematic literature review depends on collecting data from an evidence based studies. Searches were made of twenty electronic databases: the Cochrane Oral Health Group’s Trials Register, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), EMBASE, PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of science, MEDLINE (PubMed). Results: There is a statistically significant clinical improvement in all clinical parameter and biochemical analysis following the periodontal therapy treatment which effect on tooth shelf life. Conclusion: The results proved the benefit of periodontal therapy as a promising treatment therapy in improving periodontal parameters. Understanding the etiology of the progression of periodontal diseases is a very essential step to stopping the disease.

An Innovative Topologies Based on Hypercube Network Interconnection
Authors: Mohsin Moslim , AL Rammahi Adil , Rabee Furkan
Published: September 2023

A parallel processing system's most crucial part is a network interconnection that links its processors. The hypercube topology has interesting features that make it a great option for parallel processing applications. This paper presents two innovative configurations of interconnection networks based on fractal Sierpinski and a hypercube. These are called the Sierpinski Triangle Topology (STT) and Sierpinski Carpet Topology (SCT). Compared to a hypercube, the Sierpinski Triangle topology (STT) noticed a significant decrease in the number of nodes and links as large networks grew. Hence, it is considered a great way to reduce costs because it uses fewer nodes and links. The average distance is also shorter, which is better. Despite it having a smaller bisection width and a higher degree than a hypercube by one. The Sierpinski Carpet Topology (SCT) has the advantage of having a high bisection width compared to a hypercube. That is preferable because it places a lower restriction on the difficulty of parallel algorithms. While the drawback of this topology is that it has a diameter and average distance more than a hypercube.

Published: September 2023

Classification methods have become one of the main tools for extracting essential information from multivariate data. New classification algorithms are continuously being proposed and created. This paper presents a classification procedure based on a combination of Kohonen and probabilistic neural networks. Its applicability and efficiency are estimated using model data sets (iris flowers data set, wine data set, data with a two-hierarchical structure), then compared with the traditional clustering algorithms (hierarchical clustering, k-means clustering, fuzzy k-means clustering). The algorithm was designed as M-script in Matlab 7.11b software. It was shown that the proposed classification procedure has a great advantage over traditional clustering methods.

АННОТАЦИЯ

Наличие многочисленных проблем в астрофизике, говорит о несостоятельности научной парадигмы физической реальности, которой присуща субстанциональная трактовка категорий пространства и времени.

В рамках реляционной парадигмы, в которой пространство и время полагаются лишь особыми отношениями между материальными объектами и процессами с их участием, предложена дефляционная модель Вселенной - «Дуплекс Вселенная». В Модели постулируется существование единой основы всего материального мира — эфира. Все вещество Вселенной состоит из эфира и все взаимодействия между физическими объектами осуществляются через эфир.

В модели Дуплекс наша Вселенная является одной из двух концентричных 3-сфер, погруженных в протоэфир 4х мерного Универсума. Гиперсферы соединены меду собой миллиардами 4х мерных склеек, являющимися туннелям, по которым протоэфир Универсума истекает во внешнее пространство Дуплекса. А через 3х мерную оболочку Туннелей эфир наше Вселенной истекает во внешнюю 3-сферу Дуплекса .

Гравитация (притяжение вещества к космическим телам) есть не что иное как увлечение вещества ускоряющимися радиальными потоками эфира, истекающие в Абисс через порталы, расположенные внутри космических тел.

Силы гравитации и инерции имеют одну и ту же природу и обусловлены стремлением эфира заполнить любую область возникшего эфирного разрежения.

Взаимное притяжение космических тел (являющихся вещественными оболочками порталов склеек) объясняется взаимодействием 4х мерных вихревых воронок протоэфира, образующихся у входных порталах 4х мерных туннелей. Инерционные свойства космических тел, точнее инерционные свойства порталов Туннелей, находящихся внутри этих тел, также определяются свойствами 4х мерных вихревых воронок протоэфира.

Наша Вселенная находится в пред-катастрофическом состоянии из-за накопленного механического напряжения в гиперсфере Эйкумена, и Конец Света может наступить в ближайшие тысячи, а может быть только ближайшие сотни лет.

Published: September 2023

The article focuses on the study of the dependence of the level of mental well-being on the body image per-ception of female students aged 19–22. The results of the correlation analysis of the parameters of mental well-being and the image of the bodily “Self” are presented. Characteristics of the relationship between the level of mental well-being of the individual and its parameters with the negative portrayal of the girl’s bodily “Self” are outlined. The questionnaire “Scale of Psychological Well-Being” by K. Riff (adapted by T.D. Shevelenkova and P.P. Fesenko), the questionnaire “The Image of the Bodily Self” by I. V. Lybko were used as a research tool. The empirical conclusions are confirmed by the results of statistical analysis (Spearman’s rank correlation criterion). The link between positive perception of body image in young women and the level of psy-chological well-being of the individual, reflecting the perception and assessment of their functioning in terms of maximum potential is revealed. The results of the study can be beneficial to counseling psychologists and psy-chotherapists in determining the targets of psychological correction in girls with low levels of mental well-being and negative self-perception of their appearance.

The paper substantiates the importance of counteracting manifestations of bullying in the school environment. The definition of the concept of “bullying” is given. The authors analyze scientific literature on the problem of forming the readiness of future teachers to counter the manifestations of bullying at school. The role of the teacher in the prevention and correction of manifestations of bullying among students is shown. The compo-nents of the readiness of future teachers to counter the manifestations of bullying in the school environment are highlighted: motivational-value, cognitive, functional activity, and personal. The results of an anonymous survey among undergraduate students (the university training direction is “Pedagogical Education”), aimed at determining the readiness of future teachers for the prevention and correction of bullying among schoolchil-dren, are presented. The measures are proposed to prepare students for the prevention of various manifesta-tions of bullying in the children’s environment.

The paper proves the necessity of creating a Network Department to provide effective cluster scientific (scien-tific-methodological) interaction of a pedagogical university and the Institute of Education Development (IED). The absence of the definition of a network department in the normative-legal acts is established, despite the fact that in practice such associations are created. Using the structural and functional analysis, a general char-acteristic of a Network Department is given, its subject, goals, organizational structure, and role in scientific (scientific-methodological) interaction of a pedagogical university and the Institute for Educational Develop-ment are determined. Examination of such alternative organizational structures as basic and virtual depart-ments made it possible to conclude that they cannot replace the Network Department due to the prevalence of either educational or technological aspect in their activities. The paper dwells upon the fact that the integration of the Network Department into the structure of the national cluster model of scientific (scientific-methodological) interaction between pedagogical universities and Institute of Education Development brings this interaction to the highest, strategic, level.
