Considering Measurement Dynamics In Classical Mechanics
Authors: Matjelo Naleli Jubert
Published: April 2021

In this paper, we consider modeling measurement as part of the overall system dynamics in a way that allows a dynamic interaction between the target system and the measuring system/device. For example, the interaction between the target system and the measuring system can be modeled as a form of collision, scattering process, or some coupling between the two systems depending on how they interact with each other. We show that following this line of thinking about the two systems as intertwined/coupled, in the classical picture, naturally leads to the general dynamics analogous to Schrodinger's wave dynamics.

Published: April 2021

Many growers fertigating their orchards with zinc–ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Zn-EDTA) are still using supplemental zinc foliar sprays because of a lack of confidence that soil-applied Zn-EDTA is supplying enough Zn to the trees. A field study was conducted in a pecan orchard located near San Simon, AZ, on 8-year-old ‘Wichita’ trees growing in an alkaline, calcareous Vekol loam soil to evaluate the effectiveness of supplemental foliar Zn sprays. All trees were fertigated with 6.0 kg⋅ha–1 Zn in the form of Zn-EDTA in 2018 and 11.0 kg⋅ha–1 Zn in 2019 and did not exhibit visible signs of Zn deficiency. Foliar treatments of 3.75 mL⋅L–1 urea–ammonium nitrate (UAN), 3.6 g⋅L–1 zinc sulfate monohydrate (ZnSO4·H2O), 3.6 g⋅L–1 ZnSO4·H2O with 3.75 mL⋅L–1 UAN, 11 mL⋅L–1 Zn-EDTA, and water alone were applied to individual fruiting shoot terminals of trees on two dates each in 2018 and 2019. Treatments were sprayed directly onto the leaves of the selected terminals. Zn-EDTA was included as a foliar treatment in 2019 only. Leaf photosynthesis was measured to determine the impact of leaf Zn concentrations on plant function. Midday stem water potential (MDSWP) was measured to verify that water stress was not limiting photosynthesis. Both measurements were taken about 2 to 4 weeks after the application of foliar treatments. MDSWP measurements indicated a lack of water stress and therefore no effect on photosynthesis. Leaf samples collected from untreated branches indicated that the average foliar Zn concentration of untreated leaves was 21.3 mg⋅kg–1 in 2018 and 15.7 mg⋅kg–1 in 2019. No differences were observed in photosynthesis rates of treated branches. No additional benefit to leaf photosynthetic function or appearance was observed from spraying Zn on foliage of trees fertigated with Zn-EDTA.
Edible insects as a source of alternative protein. A review
Authors: Gorbunova N. A. , Zakharov A. N.
Published: April 2021

The current state and research priorities in the field of using insects as foods and their components are examined. At present, entomophagy is practiced in Africa, South America and Asia. It is shown that the growing world population, which is increasingly limited in resources upon the rising demand for animal protein, has stimulated the interest to new food sources that can include insects as future alternative sources of animal protein. In the forming global model based on the growing share of renewable energy sources, entomophagy fits in as a renewable source of food energy. Over the last decade, the potential of edible insects as a new ingredient has been studied. It is noted that edible insects can be produced with less environmental impact compared to cattle. Insects have a huge potential at all life cycle stages as a source of nutritional and active substances and are a rich source of animal protein, contain essential amino acids, minerals (K, Na, Ca, Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn and P), vitamins (В-group, А, D, Е, К and С) and unsaturated fatty acids. Assimilability of insect protein is 76–98%. Insect carbohydrates are represented mainly by chitin contained in a range from 2.7 mg to 49.8 mg/kg of fresh matter. There are data that different insect species can have immune stimulating, sugar reducing, antioxidant and anti-genotoxic activities, as well as the positive effect in cardiovascular and nervous disorders. In the western countries, different methods of insect processing were developed. The review summarizes advantages and risks of eating insects and legal practices of their consumption. Possible ways and strategies of stimulating edible insect consumption are analyzed taking into account that the majority of population in western countries reject the idea of eating insects. The review of performed studies notes the necessity to eliminate emotional and psychological barriers on the way of accepting edible insect consumption.

Published: April 2021

Production of convenient and inexpensive packaging materials is increasing due to the constant growth of consumer demand for safer food products. The paper examines the questions dedicated to the development and introduction of the safety and quality management system in enterprises producing packaging for the meat industry. The authors analyze the elements of safety and quality management for polypropylene packaging in a form of a tray, which is a final element of the united chain in production of whole-piece meat semi-finished products. The investigations were carried out in the operating enterprise in the Moscow region. Hazardous factors in production of polypropylene packaging were identified, risk analysis with assessment of the probability of emergence and realization of hazardous factors was carried out, a Pareto chart was built, unacceptable risks were determined, critical control points (CCP) were revealed, preventive and corrective measures were developed with account for the established critical limits and requirements for CCP monitoring were formulated. All stages of production process were subjected to risk analysis; the severity of consequences from hazardous factor realization and the probability of such realization were assessed by experts for each of these stages. It was established that “injection molding and chilling in a press-mold” is a CCT as there is a risk of increasing the maximum allowable concentrations of chemical substances and compounds (formaldehyde, ethyl acetate, alcohols and others) as a chemical factor with the severity of consequences of 3 and the probability of realization of 3. Using the Pareto chart, causes that had the highest effects on safety and quality of polypropylene packaging were grouped. It was established that nonobservance of preventive maintenance schedule for equipment and, as a consequence, possible equipment failure (80%) influenced to the higher degree the realization of chemical hazardous factor.

Published: April 2021

Increasing of production performance of production systems and equipment in the meat-processing industry is integrally linked to maintenance activities. The article analyzes the influence of technological effectiveness, level of hygiene, reliability and simplicity of equipment design on the main parameters of meat products quality. Here it is shown that the strategy of Total Productive Maintenance (TRM) and Lean production is important tool for assessment of parameter of the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), which is used to assess the main types of losses that reduce the equipment productivity. The link of influence between the structural and mechanical properties of food masses, the moisture content of the initial food raw material, the temperature and viscosity, the processing pressure, and the density for the optimal operating terms of the equipment are analyzed in this research. With the help of OEE concept, the time losses related to the features of the equipment functioning are determined. The types of losses are classified as follows: downtime and readjustment (availability or readiness for operation) of equipment, short-term shutdown of equipment and a decrease in processing speed (productivity or performance rate of the equipment), product rejects and product losses (quality losses) during startup of equipment. While analyzing of the operation of vacuum filler for sausages production, the values of parameters of equipment availability, it productivity and product quality are calculated. The availability index is 0.79, the productivity index is 0.76, and the product quality index is 0.95. Taking into account the obtained data on equipment availability, productivity and product quality, it is determined that the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) accounts for 57%. The application of this method for studying the overall equipment effectiveness operation can be applied to any technological equipment used in the meat-processing industry and allows eliminating many problems that arise during the operation of technological equipment, improving its technical and economic parameters, and developing a system of measures for improvement of its maintenance and repair.

When processing cattle and poultry, a large quantity of secondary slaughter products in the form of bone raw materials are formed in enterprises of the meat and poultry processing industry. Nowadays, its use is not optimal and rational. One of the promising directions of using bone raw materials in enterprises is production of finely ground meat and bone paste. The aim of this research was to study the chemical and mineral compositions, as well as the content of toxic elements in meat and bone paste from poultry and cattle bones obtained after complex grinding on a grinder and ultra-fine grinder. Chicken bone products (chicken necks, drumsticks, wings, breasts) and cattle costal and vertebral bones with residues of muscle tissue were used for investigation. The comparative analysis of the nutritional value of the meat and bone paste showed the following results: protein mass fraction was 18.5% in the meat and bone paste obtained from poultry bones, and 12.1% in the meat and bone paste obtained from cattle bones. The mass fraction of fat was two times higher in the meat and bone paste from poultry bones. As for the mineral composition, it has been established that meat and bone paste is a rich source of calcium: the calcium content was 1,654.02 mg/100g in the poultry meat and bone paste, and 5,318.13 mg/100g in the cattle meat and bone paste. In regard to the toxic element content, the normed values of lead and arsenic, cadmium and mercury were not revealed in the poultry and cattle meat and bone paste. The obtained meat and bone paste can be used for food purposes as a food additive in meat product manufacture, which will allow rational and economic use of bone raw materials in cattle and poultry processing.
Screw dislocations in the X-cube fracton model
Authors: Manoj Nandagopal , Slagle Kevin , Shirley Wilbur , Chen Xie
Published: April 2021

The X-cube model, a prototypical gapped fracton model, was shown in Ref. [1] to have a foliation structure. That is, inside the 3+1 D model, there are hidden layers of 2+1 D gapped topological states. A screw dislocation in a 3+1 D lattice can often reveal nontrivial features associated with a layered structure. In this paper, we study the X-cube model on lattices with screw dislocations. In particular, we find that a screw dislocation results in a finite change in the logarithm of the ground state degeneracy of the model. Part of the change can be traced back to the effect of screw dislocations in a simple stack of 2+1 D topological states, hence corroborating the foliation structure in the model. The other part of the change comes from the induced motion of fractons or sub-dimensional excitations along the dislocation, a feature absent in the stack of 2+1D layers.

Authors: Melati Aleksandra Sekar , Abdurachman Edi
Published: April 2021

Comic books industry in Indonesia is a growing business, yet the creators and the publishers rarely publish local books due to consumers looking at comic books as a low-priced entertainment while being expensive to make. Product placement in comic books is a way to rise funding forpublishers with low profit margin and a way for brands to advertise their company’s products. This research objective is to identify the significant factors in brand attitude regarding the product placement in comic book and therefore the purchase intention of said brand. The research is done through a survey. The questionnaires distributed among the members of Indonesia Comic community i.e.Komunitas Mangaka using simple random sampling technique. Data analysis method used to process the data was multiplelinear regression. From the proposed seven hypotheses, five are supported. Individual factors turned out to be significant in influencing people’s attitude and therefore the purchase intention. Product placement is also significantly increasing brand interest and opinion according to this study. Personal Attitude towards product placement in general is confirmed to be the most significant factor in influencing the attitude towards the brand placed in comic book while the way it’s executed doesn’t significantly affect one’s attitude and purchase intention. Product placement is therefore recommended for companies to consider product placement as advertising strategy.

Authors: Loo Mark Kam Loon
Published: April 2021

Since the acronym BRIC was coined in 2001, the world has touted Brazil, Russia, India and China as the emerging superpowers and engines of growth that would supersede the G7 economies and revive the sagging global economy. By 2010, the Big Four accounted for only 25% of the world’s gross national income despite owning over 25% of land area and over 40% of global population. This paper analyzes the global competitiveness of the BRIC nations over 15 years, in three five-year periods, and finds only China has shown stable growth. What then are the secrets to China’s growth and can China maintain growth? This paper then investigates the performance of China’s pillars of competitiveness and identifies the weak pillars, drawing attention to the issues and making recommendations for sustainable growth.

O Brasil e a recusa ao Protocolo Adicional
Authors: Valle Machado da Silva Marcos
Published: April 2021

Apesar do inegável compromisso com a não proliferação de armas nucleares, o estado brasileiro assumiu a posição de não aderir ao Protocolo Adicional (PA) de salvaguardas, enquanto os estados nuclearmente armados (NWS) não avançarem no seu desarmamento nuclear. Nesse contexto, cabe questionar: essa posição é uma maneira eficaz de pressionar os NWS a cumprirem o Artigo VI do Tratado sobre a Não Proliferação de Armas Nucleares(TNP)? Este artigo argumenta que a posição assumida pelo estado brasileiro é ineficaz e enfraquece a cada ano. Incialmente, o artigo apresenta uma visão geral do objetivo do PA e destaca o número de estados que aderiram a ele. Segundo, analisa a posição oficial brasileira em relação à essas salvaguardas adicionais. Terceiro, identifica e analisa os estados que assinaram um PA com a AIEA, evidenciando como esse contexto pode afetar a posição brasileira que usa a recusa ao PA como forma de pressionar os NWS a cumpriremo Artigo VI do TNP.
Case Report of a Large Rhinolith Cast – A Frequently Missed Diagnosis
Authors: Mohiuddin Irshad , Vats Mayank , Hussain Azmina
Published: April 2021

Background:

Rhinoliths are calcified or mineralized concretions that are deposited around a nucleus and are usually unilateral. They are rare with an estimated
incidence of 1:10000 of all ENT outpatient cases. This may be an underestimation as many cases remain asymptomatic since the process may take
years to develop.

Case Report:

We report a case of unilateral nasal obstruction since childhood in an adult male where the diagnosis remained obscured until thorough assessment
was done. According to the anterior rhinoscopic and nasoendoscopic examination, there was an irregular bony mass occupying the left nasal cavity
from the floor to the middle meatus. The diagnosis of rhinolith was confirmed by nasoendoscopy and non-contrast CT (NCCT) scan, and it was
removed piecemeal from the nose.

Conclusion:

This case underlines the importance of a detailed clinical and endoscopic examination of the nose in adult cases with unilateral nasal obstruction. It
also highlights the potential for misdiagnosis of such cases at the hands of general practitioners or physicians and the importance of early referral to
an otolaryngologist in case of treatment failure by established protocols.

Early Alcohol Exposure: A Systematic Review
Authors: da Silva Rosane Souza , Schaidhauer Flavia Gheller , Caetano Higor Arruda , da Silva Guilherme Pietro
Published: April 2021

Background:

The consequences of mild to severe exposure to alcohol during brain development is still a matter of debate and scientific investigation. The long-term behavioural effects of ethanol exposure have been related to impaired social skills and cognition. Zebrafish have become a suitable animal model to investigate the effects of early ethanol exposure because it is very feasible to promote drug delivery during early development.

Objective:

The goal of the current report is to review existing behavioural studies addressing the impact of early alcohol exposure using zebrafish to determine whether these models resemble the behavioural effects of early alcohol exposure in humans.

Methods:

A comprehensive search of biomedical databases was performed using the operation order: “ZEBRAFISH AND BEHAV* AND (ETHANOL OR ALCOHOL)”. The eligibility of studies was determined using the PICOS strategy, contemplating the population as zebrafish, intervention as exposure to ethanol, comparison with a non-exposed control animal, and outcomes as behavioural parameters.

Results:

The systematic search returned 29 scientific articles as eligible. The zebrafish is presented as a versatile animal model that is useful to study FASD short and long-term behaviour impairments, such as anxiety, impaired sociability, aggressiveness, learning problems, memory impairment, seizure susceptibility, sleep disorders, motivational problems, and addiction.

Conclusion:

This systematic review serves to further promote the use of zebrafish as a model system to study the pathophysiological and behavioural consequences of early alcohol exposure.

Abstract Activated charcoal and imarsil (local adsorbent) had shown significant Aflatoxin (AF) decontamination potentials in vegetable oil at a low AF contamination level of ≤ 9 ng/L. AF contamination in vegetable oils can be more than a hundred-fold of this. Therefore, it is needed to investigate the potential of other adsorbents at higher AF contamination levels. Magnetic Chitosan Nanoparticle (MCNP) was synthesized, and its aflatoxins extraction efficiency from two edible vegetable oils was investigated. MCNP exhibited extraction efficiencies of 82.80 – 100% and 94.87 – 100% in palm kernel oil and palm oil at the contamination levels of 579.6 and 964.6 ng/L respectively. Total aflatoxins cleanup of the palm oil and palm kernel oil was possible at 30 °C within 30 and 60 minutes, respectively, at the optimized condition of 4.4 mg/L MCNP. MCNP concentration, temperature of extraction, and contact time were significant (p < 0.05) in palm kernel oil, while these conditions were not significant (p > 0.05) in palm oil. The results of the present investigation depict that the AF extraction efficiency of MCNP depends on the type of vegetable oil and that MCNP could be a credible alternative for AF decontamination of the investigated vegetable oil. Keywords: aflatoxins, chitosan, contamination, nanoparticles, vegetable oils

Published: April 2021

Coastal community has to be empowered because of their low capacities and reliance on mangrove ecosystem. This inquiry tries to reveal the process of empowerment consisted of powerlessness, support, wish, consciousness, confidence and empowered organization. Case study is employed in this research through documentation study, in-depth interviews and direct observations. Findings show that the process cannot fully adopt existing theory. Sometimes, “wish” precedes “support”. Farmer group needs to raise its wishes to reach supports. In other word, the wish is a prerequisite for the support. In addition, economic incentive and the weak enforcement of rules has become the major constraints in the process. Therefore, external interventions must be maintained continuously, and rules must be enforced properly.

In the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic, it had a very large impact not only on the health aspect, but also on the labor and economic aspects. The industrial world has been affected so much that the industrial world has stopped its production activities so that there has been a reduction in the workforce in production by being dismissed and even disconnected from their work. This condition is what makes the government take action, especially in terms of employment in fulfilling the obligation to pay BPJSK output through a relaxation or softness policy in paying contributions. Another policy is the claim service for BPJSK participants if there is a risk that results in the realization of the claim.This research is to analyze with the policy of relaxation of payment of dues and claim services associated with their influence on participant compliance in paying BPJSK dues. The population / research sample was the participants of the BPJSK Gresik Driyorejo Branch, using a questionnaire to obtain data on the perception of relaxation policies, service quality and compliance with payment of dues.Based on the results of data analysis, it shows that: first, the premium payment policy has a significant effect on dues pay compliance, second, the service quality of claims has a significant effect on awareness of premium payments, and third, the policy of relaxation of contributions and the quality of service claims has a significant effect on the premium. payment of dues for BPJSK members at the Gresik Driyorejo Branch.

Objectives:  The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether LEP19 G>A and LEPR 668 A>G polymorphisms, would influence the effect of an 8-week combined aerobic and resistance training.

Methods: Thirty obese boys (BMIz>+2) aged 11-13 (12.66Â±0.47) were recruited from three middle schools in Quchan. The changes in body composition parameters and metabolic factors in response to 8-weeks combined aerobic and resistance training program were analyzed regarding LEP and LEPR polymorphism. DNA was extracted from cheek cells donated by the 30 participants and genotyping was carried out using PCR.

Results: Our results suggest that carriers of rs2167270G allele and rs1137101A allele were characterized by a greater reduction in body mass and WHR (P< 0.05). Also, a significant decrease was observed in leptin levels in carriers of rs2167270G allele after the training program (P=0.031). Moreover, the LEP and LEPR polymorphisms were associated with changes in lipid profile in response to training.

Conclusion: In response to 8 weeks of regular physical activity, obese boys with G (rs2167270) and A (rs1137101) alleles had the best likelihood of losing weight which was associated with a decrease in body mass, fat mass (%), WHR and leptin concentrations.

Background and objective: In recent years, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become a key diagnostic tool in dentistry. CBCT can provide 3D images of the maxillofacial area to help dental practitioners in diagnosis and treatment, especially implant placement and treatment of pathogenic lesions. This study aimed to compare the Hounsfield Unit (HU) values obtained from CBCT images for bones of different densities with the corresponding HU values from MDCT images.

Materials and methods: cube-shaped bone blocks of identical size were cut from the middle section of the cow ribs and femur area such that they had a layer of cortical bone in their buccal, lingual, and top surfaces and trabecular bone in the middle. MDCT scans were performed using a Somatom Sensation Ct Scanner. After determining HU from the results of these scans, nine suitable specimens from different ranges of HU were chosen for comparison. HU of the CBCT images was computed by the dedicated software of the CBCT machine. Finally, HU values obtained from MDCT and CBCT were compared. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25 at the 0.05 significance level.

Results: The results showed a statistically significant difference between the mean HU from MDCT images and the mean HU from CBCT images (P<0.05). For similar specimens, CBCT produced higher mean HU values than MDCT. The Pearson correlation test detected a significant direct relationship between the HU values of specimens in MDCT and CBCT (P<0.05).

Conclusion: For the tools and software used in this study, there was no significant difference between the HU values obtained from MDCT and CBCT, but the mean HU obtained from CBCT was higher than that from MDCT.

Mid-long term inflow forecasting plays an important supporting role in
reservoir production planning, drought and flood control, comprehensive
utilization and water resource management. Although the inflow data have
some periodicity and predictability characteristics, the inflow sequence
has complex nonlinearity due to the comprehensive influence of climate,
underlying surfaces, human activities and other factors. Therefore, it
is difficult to achieve accurate inflow forecasting. In this study, a
new hybrid inflow forecast framework that uses previous inflows and
monthly factors as inputs, and that adopts Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)
and the Jonckheere-Terpstra test (J-T test) is developed for mid-long
term inflow forecasting. First, the J-T test can test whether the
monthly average inflow sequence set exhibits significant differences due
to climate, underlying surfaces, human activities and other factors to
ensure the effectiveness of the framework. Second, the LSTM, which is
good at determining the nonlinearity law of the time sequence and
finding the best solution, is chosen as the framework algorithm.
Finally, due to the periodicity of the inflow sequence, adding monthly
factors into the framework can provide more information for the
framework to improve the accuracy of the forecast. Xiaowan Hydropower
Station in the Lancang River of China is selected as the research area.
Six evaluation criteria are used to evaluate established framework using
historical monthly inflow data (January 1954-December 2016). The
performance of the framework is compared with that of the Back
Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) and Support Vector Regression (SVR)
models. The results show that the introduction of monthly factors
greatly improves the accuracy of the inflow forecast studied, and the
proposed method is also better than other frameworks.
