Authors: Coppa Graziano , Sanna Francesca , Paro Luca , Musacchio Chiara , Merlone Andrea
Published: January 2024

Permafrost degradation is a growing direct impact of climate change. Detecting permafrost reductions, in terms of its extension, deepening of the active layer and rise of the base is fundamental to capture the magnitude of trends and address actions and warnings. Temperature profiles in permafrost allow direct understanding of the status of the frozen ground layer and its evolution in time. The Sommeiller Pass permafrost monitoring station, at about 3000 m of elevation, is the key site of the regional network installed in 2009 during the European Project “PermaNET” in the Piedmont Alps (NW Italy). The station consists of three vertical boreholes 5, 10 and 100 m deep with different characteristics, equipped with thermometric chains for a total of 36 temperature sensors (thermistors type). The raw collected data shows an active layer 8-9 m thick, and a degradation of the base at approximately 60 m of depth since 2014, corresponding to about 0.03 °C/yr. In order to verify and better quantify this potential degradation, three on-site sensor calibrations campaigns were carried out aimed to understand the reliability of the measurements in progress. By repeated calibrations, two key results have been achieved: the profiles have been corrected for biases and the re-calibration allowed to distinguish the effective change of permafrost temperatures along the years, from possible drifts of the sensors, which can be of the same order of magnitude of the investigated thermal change. The reduction of permafrost starting from 2012 at a depth of ~60 m has been confirmed, with a rate of 0.042 ± 0.005 °C/yr. This paper reports the implementation and installation of the on-site metrology laboratory, the dedicated calibration procedure adopted, the calibration results and the resulting adjusted data, profiles and their evolution in time. It is intended as a further contribution to the ongoing studies and definition of best practices, to improve data traceability and comparability, as prescribed by the World Meteorological Organization Global Cryosphere Watch programme.
Environmental Signal Propagation in Non-stationary Systems: The Impact of Delta Advance on Terrestrial to Marine Information Transfer
Authors: Fernandes Anjali , Straub Kyle , Singh Arvind
Published: January 2024

When interpreting environmental signals in the deep marine sedimentary archive, separating the record of local flow and sediment dynamics from that of the terrestrial transport system that feeds it can be challenging. We used a physical experiment to study the dynamics of flow and sedimentation on a prograding, hyperpycnal flow-dominated delta, shelf and submarine slope subject to slow rates of base-level rise (pseudo-subsidence). Our experiments are most relevant to shelf margins where sediment-rich deltaic systems can prograde towards the shelf-edge under relatively mild rates of relative sea-level rise, e.g. recent millennia (~7 ky). Our results offer interesting insight into linked dynamics of terrestrial and submarine transport systems; they apply to time-scales that range from days to millennia, and may be relevant to problems as diverse as delivery of dissolved and particulate anthropogenic pollutants to deep ocean ecosystems and terrestrial paleoenvironmental reconstructions from marine sedimentary records.We asked 3 questions: (1) Are delta channel dynamics reflected in flow and sedimentation on the continental slope? (2) how effectively do shelf and slope systems transfer information from upstream? (3) how does delta growth and progradation to the shelf-edge impact sedimentation on the continental slope? We found that: (1) Changes in flow partitioning through delta-top channels and associated hyperpycnal plume dynamics are recorded in flow and sedimentation on the slope. Channelized delta-top flow resulted in higher localized water discharge and sediment concentrations, and thick, fast-moving, and laterally continuous, turbidity currents on the slope; sheet flow on the delta top, on the other hand, produced thin, slow-moving and laterally discontinuous turbidity currents on the slope. (2) Patterns in flow and sedimentation correlate over longer distances on the advection-settling-dominated subaqueous continental slope than on the transport-limited shelf and delta-top. (3) Delta progradation played an important role in defining the scales of depositional topography and sedimentation dynamics on the slope. Before the delta arrived at the shelf edge, slow-growing, small wave-length depositional topography on the slope remained temporally persistent, and was associated with small cross-stream wavelengths associated with depositional topography and low variance in sedimentation patterns; once the delta reached the shelf-edge, the growth, progradation and lateral stacking of mouth bars on the proximal parts of the continental slope caused an abrupt switch to dynamic depositional topography with large cross-stream wave-lengths and high variance in sedimentation rates.
The Influence of Music, Short-Term Memory, and Neurodivergence on Reading Comprehension
Authors: Bharath Maitreyi
Published: January 2024

Many people listen to music while studying or working, and research shows that music has many potential benefits for productivity and learning. Two studies were conducted to investigate the influence of different genres of background music on reading comprehension. The first study focused on the effects of instrumental music on reading comprehension. In this study, participants were randomly grouped into one of six genre groups: Jazz, Pop, Rock, Western classical, Indian classical, and No Music (control). Participants then completed a reading comprehension task with background music of their assigned genre. Each participant had one reading comprehension score. The second study focused on the effects of vocal music on reading comprehension. Participants were randomly assigned to one of six genre groups: Rap, Rock, Jazz, Indian Classical, Western Classical, and Pop. In this study, each participant had two reading scores: one for a reading task with background music, and one for a reading task without background music (control). Pop music and Rock music were hypothesized to improve reading comprehension compared to silence, while Rap, Western Classical, Indian Classical, and Jazz music were expected to impair reading comprehension. In both studies, background music, regardless of genre, had no significant effects on participants' reading comprehension. No differences in reading comprehension scores were found between the vocal and instrumental music groups. The participants' data were grouped by neurodivergent status. There were significant differences in reading scores without background music between the neurodivergent and neurotypical groups. When background music was added, these differences in reading scores disappeared. Participant data was then grouped to study the influence of age on the effects of background music on reading comprehension. There were no significant differences in reading comprehension scores between age groups. Participant data was also grouped by years of musical experience. There were no significant differences in reading comprehension scores between these groups. Participants in both studies also completed a digit span forward task without any background music to assess short-term memory capacity. The ratio between short-term memory scores and reading scores was calculated to evaluate whether short-term memory was linked to reading comprehension. The ratio scores were grouped by genre and distributions for each group were calculated. The distributions indicate that short-term memory is weakly linked to reading comprehension performance. Further large-scale research is required to validate these results.Keywords: musical genre; reading comprehension; short-term memory; neurodivergence; working memory; background music.

Published: January 2024

Introduction. Bipolar disorders (BD) are among the most significantly impairing of childhood and adolescent psychiatric disorders. Although BD symptoms may begin in adolescence, they are frequently not diagnosed until adulthood, and accordingly BD scales could aid diagnostic assessment in paediatric populations. This review aims to synthesis the evidence for the accuracy of BD symptom index tests for discriminating bipolar disorders from non-bipolar disorders (other diagnoses or healthy controls) in paediatric population. Additionally, several theoretically relevant moderators of diagnostic accuracy were evaluated. Methods. A systematic search across three databases was conducted from 1980 to 2022, augmented by grey literature database searches, citation chaining, and contacting authors. Data from eligible studies were synthesised using meta-analysis. A multilevel model was fitted to account for nested effect sizes, with 31 potential moderators examined in univariate and multivariate models. Results. Twenty-Eight studies were eligible, yielding 115 effect sizes for analysis. Meta-analytic modelling indicated BD symptom index tests have a high diagnostic accuracy (g = 1.300; 95% CI: 0.982 - 1.619; p < .001) in paediatric population. Accuracy was relative to the type of comparison group, index test content, index test informant, and index test’s scale or subscale. Conclusions. Screening tests based on mania content, caregiver report, and non-healthy comparison groups have clinical utility in identifying paediatric BD. Other informant-and-content combination may not accurately identify paediatric BD. Unlike healthy controls, tests derived from studies using non-healthy comparison groups, represent BD symptom non-specificity and BD symptom overlap with other disorders, providing external validity and clinical utility.

Authors: Portakal Pınar , Çiltepe Mustafa
Published: January 2024

A total of 25 samples of beeswax (9 from the southern and 16 from the northern of Çankırı) were collected within the scope of this study. Heavy metal contents of these samples were analyzed by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS). The mean iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), vanadium (V), cadmium (Cd), selenium (Se) levels in the samples were found to be 36.28 ppm, 1.69 ppm, 1.65 ppm, 1.14 ppm, 0.78 ppm, 0.68 ppm, 0.30 ppm, 0.13 ppm, 0.06 ppm, 0.01 ppm, respectively. Comparing the northern and southern regions, only Cd (1.10 ppm) was found to be higher in the southern region, whereas the other heavy metals were found to be higher in the northern region. No statistical difference was found between mean Fe, Pb, Zn, Al, Cr, V, and Se levels in the wax samples obtained from the northern and southern regions, whereas a statistically significant difference was found in Mn, Cu, and Cd concentrations. As a result, the heavy metal concentration in beeswax varied between the regions. Except for Cd element, all values were higher in the northern region of Çankırı and this region that is close to the highway with heavy traffic should be evaluated in terms of beekeeping.

Мақала қазіргі сөйлеу кеңістігінің бірліктерін, топоним-логоэпистемаларды тіл мен мәдениеттің тоғысында зерттеуге арналған. Тіл-тілдегі топоним-логоэпистемалар зерттелуіне назар аударсақ, олардың халық, ұлт дүниетанымының негізгі көрсеткіштері екенін байқаймыз. Сондықтан да географиялық атаулар кейде географиялық нысанмен тікелей байланысты болмайды. Басқаша айтқанда, кез келген сөз сияқты географиялық атаудың да мағынасы өзі білдіретін нысанға қатыстыемес, ол біздің санамыздағы образға байланысты түсіндіріледі. Сондықтан географиялық атау мен ол білдіретін нысан арасындағы қатынас күрделі, екіжақты болады. Бұл географиялық атау мен географиялық нысан арасында адам тұр дегенді білдіреді. Сол себепті топонимдерді адамның саналы ойлау позициясы тұрғысынан келетін, прагматикалық негізі бар тілдік және тілдік емес сананың сөйлеу мен ойлау қатынасын қарастыратын когнитивті-прагматикалық аспектіде зерттеудіңқажеттілігі пайда болады. Тілдің когнитивті-прагматикалық аспектісіне сүйену синхронды зерттеуге жол ашады, яғни топонимдерді жағдаяттық контексте қарастыруға мүмкіндік береді. Бұл арқылы нақты бір тілдік ұжымның географиялық атауды қазір қалай қабылдайтынынан және тұлға санасында олардың қалай қызмет етіп, орнығатынынан, өңдетінінен ақпарат аламыз. Әрбір атау – тарихтың табы сіңген нысаналы белгісі. Сондықтан мұндай ұлттық әрі рухани байлығымыз саналатын топонимдерді зерттеу –уақыт талабы, заман сұранысы.
The concept of “ugliness” in Russian linguistic culture: methods of objectification
Authors: Mudrovskaya А.М. , Kozlovskaya N.V.
Published: January 2024

The article discusses the ways of objectifying the concept of “ugliness” in Russian linguistic culture. The fundamental principles of considering concepts in modern linguistics are highlighted, which are based on the principle of anthropocentrism. The main components of the linguocultural concept “ugliness” are identified through historical, etymological, word–formation analysis. The authors of the article used the method of component analysis, the method of semantic-cognitive analysis, the method of linguoculturological analysis, which facilitated to identify the conceptual features of the concept of “ugliness”. The lexemes “ugly” (formale) and «ugly» (for female) are considered as representatives in the contexts of word usage. As a result of the study, the authors concluded that in the Russian language picture, lexemes with the root ugly-, for example, adjectives ugly, ugly and nouns ugly, ugly, ugliness, act as representatives of the concept “ugliness”. When considering the use of the word “ugly”, the following conceptual features were identified. When identifying the conceptual features of the noun “ugly”, we identified the following. Separately, a group of word usage of the lexeme “ugly” was singled out when describing males. It was revealed that these variants of word usage were characteristic of the works of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

A new approach in linguistics
Authors: Khassenov B.R , Аdilova А.S. , Тuite E.E. , Ibrayeva А.G.
Published: January 2024

This article describes a new approach in modern Kazakh linguistics. The new approach is called ‘the mytholinguistic interpretation of the symbol point inside the circle (the point in the center of the circle)’. Using this approach, the authors try to answer the religious and philosophical question “where does the word begin?”. To find an answer to this difficult question, the article widely uses the results of research on speech ontogenesis, metaphysics, psychoanalysis, and materials from the Automated Similarity Judgment Program (ASJP) database, Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database, S. Starostin’s etymological database (LWED) “Babel Tower” and dictionaries of Turkic languages (“An Etymological Dictionaries of Turkic Languages”, M. Kashgari’s Dictionary, “An Ancient Turkic Dictionary”). The information and conclusions presented in the study are of great interest not only to domestic scientists, but also to foreign researchers.

Published: January 2024

Foreign bodies are objects ingested by animals that cause injuries to the intestinal mucosa and, when the foreign body is linear, it can worsen the clinical condition by affecting a larger extension and causing intussusception. The clinical signs are broad and nonspecific, including apathy, anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal sensitivity. The diagnosis should include, in addition to medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. Enterotomy should be performed as foreign bodies are considered surgical emergencies. The results and prognosis observed in the animal were favorable, with rapid postoperative recovery. The objective of this study is to report a case of linear foreign body in a male Siberian Husky dog, diagnosed with intussusception through ultrasound examination.
FREESTANDING FOUNDATION WITH STEPPED BASE. RESULTS OF A FULL-SCALE EXPERIMENT
Authors:   Industrial University of Tyumen, Safaryan Vage S.
Published: January 2024

Despite the large number of existing solutions, the issue of optimizing the structure of freestanding shallow foundations is still relevant because of poorly studying. The object of the study is foundations with stepped base. To confirm the efficiency of these foundations, we conducted three different experiments: digital modelling, laboratory tests and full-scale experiment. First, the foundations were compared in terms of absolute settlement. In each of the experiments, the foundation with a stepped base was more efficient than its flat-base analogue (by about 30 %). During the full-scale experiment, at a final pressure under the foundation base of 18 t/m2, the foundation with flat base settled by 70.67 mm, while the foundation with stepped base settled by 49.32 mm. The experiment confirmed the results of the previous experiments: the foundation with a stepped base showed a substantially smaller settlement than the flat base analogue. In future studies, we plan to investigate the operation of strip foundations with stepped base in more detail, to determine the internal forces appearing in the body of the foundations, and to define the need of reinforcement for foundations with stepped base.

The existing urban trends give new demands on the transport infrastructure of modern cities. Urban development planning should be based on representative traffic information. To reduce the resource costs of network research of traffic flows, we chose the method of remote sensing of traffic by criteria of area and configuration of the street-road network of the urbane territory with the use of modern satellite systems. The most suitable satellites for this purpose in Russia are Resurs-P and Kanopus-B, while the best satellites abroad in terms of image quality and regularity of resource updates are The Landsat Programme and Maxar (USA). We set, that the spatial resolution of satellite images and the scale of the image to be interpreted are correlated with the technical capabilities of satellite systems; the critical spatial resolution of 1/14.8 m/mm is achieved at a scale of 1:450. The authors developed an algorithm for selecting a rational method of remote sensing of traffic for different spatial urban structures at micro-, meso- and macro-levels and considered it on the example of 14 urban Russian and foreign agglomerations. The article presents a feasibility study of remote sensing application based on the " cost per unit of accuracy" criterion. Its values ranged from 0.08 to 1393.94 thousand rubles depending on the selected monitoring method and the area of spatial structures of the studied objects. The satellite remote sensing method was found to be a priority in terms of cost per unit of accuracy. Taking into account the obtained data, we plan to create a software product for automation of decoding algorithms for determining traffic parameters.
THE EFFICIENCY OF LOW-POWER SOLID-FUEL WATER BOILERS
Authors:   Industrial University of Tyumen, Khujaev Parviz S.
Published: January 2024

Burning fuel in large quantities when using hot water boilers leads to losses, which reduces the energy conversion efficiency of the boiler. Therefore, there were mainly small energy- saving stoves designed to burn fuel. The author proposed to use a small boiler with a firebox with a vertical grate. A small boiler with an adjustable grate water heater with a capacity of 50 kW was installed in the boarding school building. Combustion of any fuel in such a furnace had following results: a) the productivity of the boiler unit had been increased to 79-81 %; b) heat loss reduced by 2 times and harmful emissions into the atmosphere in 1.5 once. The costs of providing thermal energy compared to other operating boiler houses amounted to 14 400 somoni (1 200 dollars). This is 18 % less than the costs of the previous heating season without using the proposed boiler. The efficiency of heating processes in the boiler was assessed during one heating season.

Published: January 2024

The resource intensity of biological wastewater treatment is reduced by increasing the energy efficiency of the pneumatic aeration systems used in the aeration tank. Modernisation of the aeration process is possible with the development of an adequate mathematical model describing the process of mass transfer from air bubble to water the oxygen required for biological oxidation of wastewater pollutants. The analysis of the Lewis- Whitman two-film theory, Higbee's penetration theory, and P. W. Dankwerts' theory of deformed bubble surface renewal describing the process of mass transfer of air oxygen into water showed the peculiarities of their application to gas-liquid systems. The factor of renewal of deformed surface of air bubbles is of great importance for describing the processes of mass transfer of air oxygen to water when using pneumatic aeration system in aeration tanks. In turbulent flow at continuous renewal of interfacial surface created by air bubbles, there is intensification of mass transfer process due to turbulent diffusion, which is reflected in calculated mathematical dependences. The use of mathematical dependences determining the rate of mass transfer of air oxygen to water through the deformable surface of bubbles formed in the aeration volume of the aeration tank will make it possible to take into account the change in their shape. This will increase the accuracy of determining the values of technological characteristics of pneumatic aeration systems.

Artykuł jest poświęcony zagadnieniu modernizacji w ujęciu wybranych autorów publikujących w Ośrodku Myśli Politycznej. W swoich rozważaniach zwracają oni uwagę na różne aspekty omawianego pojęcia: wysiłki na rzecz osiągnięcia poziomu cywilizacyjnego charakterystycznego dla krajów zachodnich, przyspieszenie tempa zmian owocujące pojawieniem się nowych zjawisk społecznych,zerwanie z dotychczasowym porządkiem społecznym i dążenie do jego głębokiego przeobrażenia, przenoszenie na polski grunt rozwiązań instytucjonalnych z krajów zachodnich, jak również wielość możliwych wariantów modernizacji. W odniesieniu do polskiej ścieżki modernizacji omawiani autorzy zauważają zwłaszcza jej imitacyjny charakter, przejawiający się w przeszczepianiu na rodzimygrunt wzorców politycznych, gospodarczych i kulturowych zaczerpniętych z krajów zachodnich. W takim ujęciu polska kultura uważana jest za przeszkodę na drodze do nowoczesności. Tego rodzaju tendencje oceniają oni negatywnie. Modernizacja bowiem nie musi zakładać odrzucenia rodzimej tradycji, która może stać się jej integralnym składnikiem.
MODELLING AND TESTING OF SYNCHRONOUS MOTORS WITH PERMANENT MAGNETS

Applying a layer of polymer material to the fabric gives new characteristics to the base fabric. The resulting coated material may have functional properties such as resistance to dirt, liquid penetration, etc., or the finished leather products may have a completely different aesthetic appeal. The choice of the coating method depends on several factors: the type of substrate, the polymer formula and its viscosity for coating, the desired final product and the accuracy of the coating, the economy of the process. In the conditions of modern enterprises, it is advisable to use the spray application method for the application of polymer coatings due to the fact that the roller and brush methods do not provide the opportunity to operate with different forms of parts, and volumetric application is not always economically feasible. Jet application of the material is similar to spraying, but for polymer coatings, the temperature value is important, which in this case is difficult to control. Therefore, it is advisable to use the spraying method for applying polymer coatings The paper presents the results of preliminary research on the breakdown of polymers into droplets. The shape of the flow coming out of the nozzle was determined, and based on this, a model describing this process was developed. It is shown that for a sheet of polymer flow, its thickness is inversely proportional to the distance from the nozzle and K=2sx, calculated knowing the thickness of the sheet at some distance x from the nozzle. For a “hollow cone” spray nozzle with taper angle, θ and orifice diameter, δ and sheet thickness h, at the nozzle exit, an equation for the flow length break was derived. The obtained results of the calculations of the dependence of the droplet diameter on the flow rate. A spray test was carried out in different modes. The ratio of the length of the jet to the length of the gap L serves as the beginning of the decay mode. It was determined that the ratio of the length of the jet to the length of the gap of the canvas when reaching 1 can be a reasonable criterion for evaluating the determination of the limits of the spraying mode. For a good spraying (for example, tearing of the web), small values of the ratio of the length of the jet to the length of the tearing of the web are necessary. This is achieved due to low surface tension, high gas density, high injection pressure (velocity) and large nozzle exit angles. The obtained results can be used for the design of sprayers and their modes of operation.

The world is now changing on a multidimensional scale, and citizens are calling for sustainable development to deal with economics, society, and the environment. Citizens of the twenty-first century must contend with socioeconomic and environmental development, as well as degradation growth rates. Sustainable development is a key term for living in balance. This study employed a literature review method to frame citizen science and sustainable education development. A systematically high number of academic articles were retrieved from the ERIC database, identifying a gap between the literature and sustainable educational development. The findings revealed that citizen science can communicate, be scientifically informed, socially connected, and respectful of diversity. Sustainable educational development should foster an understanding of a holistic perspective for all learners. Science is a key subject for explaining two prongs in the current of modern scientific development. It teaches about the relationship between local and global contexts. To ensure the existence of a sustainable environment, education should be considered at all educational levels. Educational policy should incorporate a balance among economics, society, environment, and culture into the curriculum and pedagogical practices. Thus, sustainable education development should be integrated with citizen science, multiculturalism, and a holistic approach to learning behavior.

Published: January 2024

The primary focus of this research study is the analysis of Article 433 of the Jordanian Penal Code, which criminalizes goods fraud as a means of providing criminal protection for consumers. A descriptive and analytical methodology is employed in this study, involving the review and analysis of legal texts, judicial precedents, and relevant legal jurisprudence. The distinction between the crime of goods fraud and other similar offenses is elucidated in this study. It is confirmed through the findings of this research that this crime comprises three essential elements: the presumed element as stipulated in the sales contract of goods, the material element rooted in the fraudulent act, and the mental element, often referred to as the "guilty mind," which assumes the form of a general criminal intent. It has also been established that individuals found guilty of this offense face penalties ranging from one month to one year of imprisonment, coupled with a fine ranging from five to fifty dinars, or one of these penalties. This criminal punishment encompasses attempted crimes as well. The study concludes that the scope of criminalization should not be confined solely to fraud within sales contracts, but rather should be expanded to encompass other types of contracts. Furthermore, it is recommended that restitution of the sold goods be mandated, and the return of money to the buyer be ensured.

Authors: Wang Jianhua , Phothibat Phanat
Published: January 2024

Named after the men donning white pants, Bai kuyao, a subgroup of the Yao ethnic community, preserves a substantial portion of its original ethnic heritage. The utilization of these ethnic traditions within the realm of tourism development has emerged as a pivotal concern. This study, initiated from the vantage point of tourists' perceptions, established an evaluative framework for assessing the attractiveness of Bai kuyao ethnic tourism. The framework was constructed through expert interviews and literature analysis. Utilizing the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and IPA analysis techniques, the ethnic tourism appeal of Bai kuyao was quantified. The analysis of data disclosed that Bai kuyao's clothing culture, folk traditions, architectural heritage, and experiential activities hold considerable allure for tourists. However, tourists' overall satisfaction with their tourism experiences remains relatively low. The findings of this research offer valuable insights, serving as recommendations for the development and sustainable progression of tourism initiatives in Bai kuyao.

Published: January 2024

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are a prevalent health concern experienced by millions of individuals worldwide and have a significant impact on overall well-being. The clinical presentation of UTIs varies depending on their location and severity. Common symptoms include discomfort during urination, increased frequency, a compelling urge to urinate, discomfort in the lower abdomen, and the presence of blood in the urine (hematuria). Severe cases may be accompanied by fever, pain in the flank region, and other systemic symptoms, indicative of an upper UTI. Precise diagnosis of UTIs is achieved through clinical evaluation and laboratory tests. The primary aim of this research is to utilize appropriate Machine Learning (ML)-based algorithms to predict Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). The ultimate goal is to develop a predictive model that can be effectively implemented in a smart toilet system. By achieving this objective, this research seeks to provide an innovative and pragmatic solution for UTI prediction, harnessing the potential of ML algorithms in IoT-Fog settings to enhance healthcare and promote public health. This paper introduces a hybrid approach that combines feature selection methods and employs the Guided Regularized Random Forest (GRRF) classification algorithm to aid in the diagnosis of UTIs. A UTI dataset was created using data from routine examinations and definitive diagnostic outcomes for UTI patients. Dimensionality reduction was carried out using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), while feature selection was performed using K-best and Lasso CV techniques. Through the proposed strategy, this study achieved a remarkable accuracy rate of 98.8% and a precision rate of 98.90% in UTI identification. Future UTI prevention and treatment plans must be optimized via further research and ongoing efforts to overcome antibiotic resistance.

Published: January 2024

Hybrid composites are a combination of two or more types of fibers to create alternative materials. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential of hybrid fiber-particle composites to acquire new tensile properties derived from both types of fibers and particles. In this study, CSM300 glass fiber reinforcement was combined with sand, incorporating varying particle sizes to create a hybrid fiber reinforcement system. The analysis was carried out using five variations of sand particle sizes at 12, 16, 20, 24, and 40 (mesh size). The layers were arranged as RS+FG-SP-FG+RS (resin + fiberglass - sand particle #12, #16, #20, #24, #40 - resin + fiberglass), each incorporated in polyester resin using the manual press molding method at room temperature. The results showed that the highest tensile strength of the hybrid system (RS+FG-SP#16-FG+RS: 49.49 MPa) was achieved by combining both types of glass fiber and sand with #16 (sand mesh size). Furthermore, the maximum yield stress of 44.84 MPa and percent elongation of 10.17% were obtained at #16 and #12 sand mesh size, respectively. Research limitations/implications: The tensile strain-to-failure showed a significant increase from 0.22% at the beginning of the mesh particle size variation and reached a maximum for the fiberglass hybrid composite at #16 sand mesh particle size. For practical implications, the utilization of this technology requires the critical adjustment of sand diameter for industrial hybrid composite applications to achieve desired product specifications. Generally, the tensile index showed an increase at the initial sand size, reaching its peak at 0.35 mm (#16), followed by a decrease as the sand diameter is refined, with increasing mesh size.

Hypertension presents a significant challenge in Indonesia, commonly encountered in primary healthcare settings. This study aimed to assess the impact of self-administered reiki and slow, deep breathing techniques on individuals with hypertension. The research comprised 78 participants, split into two groups: 39 in the control group and 39 in the intervention group. The intervention group practiced self-reiki combined with slow, deep breathing for 21 days, while the control group solely practiced slow, deep breathing for the same duration. Statistical analysis employed the Wilcoxon and Mann‒Whitney tests. The Wilcoxon test yielded a P-value of 0.000 for both Systole and Diastole between the Intervention and Control Groups post-treatment, while the Mann‒Whitney test showed a P-value of 0.002 for Systole and P = 0.000 for Diastole between the Intervention and Control Groups after Treatment. Consequently, it can be deduced that a significant disparity in systolic and diastolic blood pressure exists pre- and post-self-reiki and slow, deep breathing exercises in both the intervention and control groups. These practices demonstrate a significant potential to reduce blood pressure among patients dealing with hypertension.

Antibiotics are one of the biggest threats to human health. Antibiotics remain the most critical resource in the worldwide management of infections. Identifying the causative agent in an infectious disease is vital to determine their antimicrobial susceptibility. The susceptibility of pathogenic microbes has a critical role in deciding the morbidity and mortality rates of these diseases—the aim of the current study is to investigate the antimicrobial susceptibility of common pathogens in Karbala. The specimens were collected from 370 patients diagnosed with bacterial infections from Al-Hindiya Hospital in 2022. Standard microbiological techniques were implemented. Identification of microorganisms was made using biochemical tests. A pure culture was prepared for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Antibiotic sensitivity testing was performed using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method, and the results were interpreted. Using the standard operating procedure and the standard bacteriological procedures, we found that the most common pathological microorganisms predominance was Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Streptococcus spp. And Shigella spp. The antimicrobial patterns were: Escherichia coli strains were found to be highly sensitive to meropenem (84%) with excellent sensitivity to Levofloxacin (68%) and Nitrofurantoin (64 %) while it highly resistant to Amoxicillin, Erythromycin, Vancomycin, Novobiocin, Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, Cefotaxime, Cefepime and Tetracycline and moderate to Ciprofloxacin, Azithromycin, and Gentamicin. The most common causative agent of urinary tract infections (which are the most common infections in the population studied) was Escherichia coli. Meropenem was a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that many bacterial spp were susceptible to.

Edge geo chromatic number of a graph
Authors: Mary U. , Rajan Joseph Paul
Published: January 2024

The Edge Geodetic Number is also known as the smallest size among all sets of edges that make up Edge Geodetic sets and is represented by the symbol g1(G). Assuming G is a finite connected graph, we can define a set S  contained in V(G) as an Edge Geodetic set if, for any pair of vertices u and v in set S, every edge in G lies on the shortest path between u and v. A set C contained in E(G) is referred to as a chromatic index set when it contains all of the proper k-edge colors of G. The chromatic index is determined by the set's lowest cardinality among its edges. The "Chromatic Index Number" is a term used to refer to the collection of these minimum cardinality chromatic index values and is represented by the symbol chi'(G). By combining an Edge Geodetic set with a Chromatic Index set, the Edge Geo Chromatic set of G is created, providing an innovative concept. The Edge Geo Chromatic Number, abbreviated as X, is the least cardinality among all Edge Geo Chromatic sets of G. In essence, an Edge Geodetic set and a Chromatic Index set combine to form an Edge Geo Chromatic graph. We talk about an edge geo chromatic linked graph with n orders. For a number of common graphs, we have computed the Edge Geo Chromatic Number and established its bounds. Furthermore, we have shown that when G represents a graph of diameter d, then chi'_gc(G) lessthan or equal to n - d +2.
