Authors: Jiménez Feria María Fernanda , Márquez Amaro Raymundo
Published: January 2024

Uno de los recursos más importantes en toda institución es el personal involucrado en las actividades laborales, pero adquiere valor significativo cuando como principal proceso organizativo, se brinda un servicio al cliente, donde la conducta del servidor influye directamente en la calidad y satisfacción de los servicios. Por lo anterior, este trabajo expone el impacto de las competencias sociolaborales en el servicio de calidad que ofrece el personal bibliotecario de una universidad pública mediante un proceso integral de capacitación donde se realizó un diagnóstico de las competencias situacionales para configurar la estrategia de intervención mediante la capacitación con enfoque en las competencias sociolaborales (habilidades blandas) y, a partir de la técnica “aprender jugando”, se logró el desarrollo profesional del personal. Finalmente, a través de un análisis comparativo de la percepción del servicio por parte los clientes principales, se muestran importantes cambios reflejados en un antes y un después de la intervención organizacional.

Sámánnők és női uralkodók szerepének újraértelmezése: Himiko és Iyo
Authors: Barát Laura
Published: January 2024

Jelen tanulmány a nők, az uralkodás és a szakrális hatalom – jelen esetben a sámánizmus – összefüggéseit tárgyalja a késő Yayoi- és Kofun-kori japán társadalom kontextusában. A tanulmány központjában Wa ország királynői, Himiko és Iyo állnak, illetve az ő helyük – vagy annak hiánya – a hagyományos japán uralkodók között. A téma Magyarországon ugyan kevésbé ismert, külföldi viszonylatban azonban alaposan vizsgált témáról van szó. Kutatásom során főként másodlagos forrásokból dolgoztam, amelyekből összegyűjtöttem a témámhoz kapcsolódó fontosabb tanulmányokat, és ezeket ütköztetve vontam le saját következtetéseimet. Habár a nemzetközi szakirodalom gyakran foglalkozik ezzel a kérdéssel, az általam vizsgált kutatások nagy része nem került kapcsolatba egymással, ezért úgy vélem jelen tanulmány új perspektívát tud nyújtani.

Himiko és Iyo a japán krónikákban, a Kojiki-ben és a Nihonshoki-ban nem jelennek meg, annak ellenére, hogy a Gishi című kínai krónika részletesen beszámol Himiko uralkodásáról. Ennek oka az lehet, hogy a későbbi császári dinasztia apaági trónutódlási rendszerébe nem tudták őket beleilleszteni. Ekkor még ugyanis vagy nem létezett szabály az örökösödést illetően, vagy valamilyen nőközpontú örökösödésről lehetett szó. A Kofun-kor középső felétől már az archeológiai leletek alapján arra lehet következtetni, hogy ekkor már megkezdődött az átmenet egy patriarchálisabb társadalom felé. Ez nagyobb valószínűséggel bizonyult egybefüggő folyamatnak, mintsem egy vallási forradalom (Ellwood 1990) eredményének. Elképzelhető, hogy Himiko idejében Japánban is elterjedt volt a Nyugati Királyi Anya matriarchális kultusza, akinek avatárjaként Barnes (2014) Himikót feltételezi. Jelen tanulmány amellett foglal állást, hogy mivel ez már a mítosz késő Han-kori változata volt (amelyben már megjelenik a Királyi Anya párja, a Keleti Királyi Apa is), valójában már ez is egy lépés volt a patriarchalizálódás felé – tulajdonképpen ez fektethette le a későbbi hime-hiko szei (duális női-férfi uralkodás) hagyományát. A legnagyobb hatást azonban a militarizálódás fejtette ki erre a folyamatra, amely már jóval Himiko uralkodása előtt megkezdődött. Mindazonáltal kijelenthetjük, hogy ebben a korban még a szakrális és a politikai vezető szerepe nemtől független lehetett.
Morito-ügy, 1920: egyetem és politika a Taishō-kori Japánban
Authors: Szabó Balázs
Published: January 2024

Morito Tatsuo, a Tokió Császári Egyetem adjunktusa 1920-ban az egyetem közgazdászklubjának folyóiratában cikket publikált Kropotkin társadalomfilozófiájáról címmel, amelyben ismertette a neves anarchista gondolkodó elképzeléseit az igazságos társadalomról, és ezeket megjegyzéseivel látta el. A cikk nagy port vert fel, amelyet az Igazságügyminisztérium a „társadalmi békéről szóló” törvény, illetve a sajtótörvény egyes cikkelyei alapján sértőnek talált, és végül büntetőfeljelentést tett. Morito-t nemcsak az állásából bocsájtották el, de háromhavi börtönbüntetésre is ítélték.

Jelen tanulmány ennek az ügynek az előzményeit és következményeit vizsgálja. A háttér fontos részét jelenti az egyetemi közeg változása az 1910-es években: részben a háborús konjunktúrának, részben pedig a Meiji-kori hagyományok elhalványulásának köszönhetően a japán lakosság szélesebb rétegei számára vált lehetővé az egyetemi oktatás, a hallgatók felduzzadó létszáma az oktatók számának növekedését vonta maga után, mindez pedig óhatatlanul új eszmék, az alacsonyabb társadalmi sorból érkező szereplők miatt pedig a tömegek sorsa iránti nagyobb érzékenységet hozta be az akadémiai világba. Ugyanebben az időben a közgazdaság-tudománynak mint önálló diszciplínának a megjelenése és a jogi tudományoktól valófüggetlenedése zajlott le, ami ezt a tudományágat immár az államtudományoktól függetlenül rajzolta újra, és ez új kérdésfeltevésekhez és néhány kutató, mint ahogy Morito esetében, a társadalmi jólét és igazságosság problémájának a diskurzusba való bevonásához vezetett el.

Ezen túl kapcsolat mutatható ki a Taishō-kor sajátos japán politikai viszonyaihoz, a megerősödő szélsőjobboldalhoz is: az ügy kirobbanásakor kormányon lévő Hara Takashi jobbközép kabinetje természetesen fordult szövetségesként a tőlük jobbra állókhoz az egyre erősödő baloldali hangulattal szemben. A Morito-ügy érdekessége, szemben az 1905-ös Tomizu-esettel, amikor még a Kiotói Egyetem is a Tōdai mellé állt, hogy nem vezetett el az akadémiai világ összefogásához, de köze volt a Tōdai közgazdasági tanszékén kialakuló frakcióharcokhoz, amelyek majd az 1930-as években botrányok sorát okozták.

A tanulmány megpróbálja bemutatni a Taishō-időszak egyetemi világát és annak társadalmi, politikai kapcsolatait is, egy olyan akadémiai közeget, amely már elmozdult a Meiji-kor hagyományaitól, kereste a helyét a japán társadalomban, és ahol a kutatói szabadság, egyetemi autonómia kérdései újra és újra az általában vett szabadság és véleményszabadság problémáival találkoztak.

Published: January 2024

Ovim istraživanjem nastoji se utvrditi stav učenika prvih, drugih i trećih razreda o važnosti Erasmus+ mobilnosti učenika u procesu obrazovanja za poduzetništvo na primjeru Ekonomske i birotehničke škole Bjelovar. Nakon uspješno provedenog prvog projekta, s ciljem upoznavanja učenika, nastavnici, prijavitelji projekta predstavili su provedene aktivnosti učenicima prvih, drugih, trećih i četvrtih razreda te učenicima osnovnih škola. Cilj je analizirati stavove učenika o utjecaju Erasmus+ mobilnosti učenika na obrazovanje za poduzetništvo koje će im omogućiti veću konkurentnost na tržištu rada i provedbu ovakvog oblika nastave u kojem se učenici upoznaju s međunarodnim trendovima. Empirijskim istraživanjem ispitali smo i analizirali stavove učenika koji nisu sudjelovali u Erasmus+ projektima te procijenili zainteresiranost učenika za buduće Erasmus+ projekte. Anketom je obuhvaćeno ukupno 180 učenika iz 12 razreda smjer ekonomist i upravni referent u Ekonomskoj i birotehničkoj školi Bjelovar. Obradom podataka prezentirana je učestalost pojedinih odgovora u anketi, pri čemu su odgovori bili ponuđeni u obliku skale od 1 do 5 te u obliku Likertove ljestvice. Pri obradi i prezentaciji podataka značajnih za temu znanstvenog rada korištene su različite metode znanstvenog istraživanja kao što su: metoda analize i sinteze, metoda komparacije, metoda klasifikacije, metoda indukcije i dedukcije, metoda deskripcije i metoda kompilacije. Prema empirijskom istraživanju većina ispitanika želi sudjelovati u Erasmus+ mobilnostima i smatra ih važnim u obrazovanju za poduzetništvo. Iz dobivenih rezultata došlo se do zaključka da bolja i učestalija prezentacija uspješno provedenih projekata može rezultirati postizanjem širih i međunarodno prepoznatih ishoda učenja u području poduzetništva. Istraživanjem je potvrđena radna hipoteza koja glasi: „Erasmus+ mobilnosti učenika unaprjeđuju razinu obrazovanja odgojno-obrazovnih ustanova za poduzetništvo”.
Yomkippur War from the Perspective of Czechoslovak Diplomacy
Authors: Taterová Eva
Published: January 2024

This study presents the perspective of Czechoslovak diplomacy on the events of the Yom Kippur War (1973) in the context Czechoslovak foreign policy towards the Arab-Israeli conflict in early 1970s. The research is based on so far rather underexplored archival sources. Despite Czechoslovakia's declared unequivocal support for the Arab side of the conflict, Czechoslovak Middle Eastern policy since the mid-1950s was not entirely unconditional in relation to the Arab countries. Internal documents of Czechoslovak government occasionally revealed criticisms of Arab representatives. The Yom Kippur War represented a significant moment in this regard, as it was a military confrontation initiated not by Israel but by the Arab coalition, posing a challenge for Czechoslovak propaganda. Simultaneously, this armed conflict presented an opportunity for Communist Czechoslovakia to further deepen its relations with its Arab allies.
DNA barcoding of the supergiant isopods from Bathynomus kensleyi Lowry & Dempsey, 2006 (Cirolanidae) and a molecular biology comparison of B. jamesi Kou, Chen & Li, 2017
Authors: Huang Ming-Chih , Bruce Niel L
Published: January 2024

DNA was extracted from tissue samples from specimens of newly-collected Bathynomus kensleyi from Queensland and subsequently the COI and 16S rRNA sequences were successfully cloned. The holotype of B. kensleyi was also sampled for COI only. Comparison of the sequences showed that, for the COI sequences, B. jamesi and B. kensleyi have more than 59 different DNA positions amongst 596 known reading sequences. The Kimura two parameter (K2P) distance analysis confirmed that B. jamesi and B. kensleyi are two species. Indian records of Bathynomus are reviewed and three of the four identified species from India are shown to be misidentifications. Bathynomus decemspinosus, B. doederlini and B. kensleyi are found to not occur in India and the only accepted record is that of Bathynomus keablei Lowry & Dempsey, 2006. We conclude that, based on molecular analysis and morphological comparisons, the correct species identity of Indian species other than Bathynomus keablei remains unknown.
Diagnostic and therapeutic advances in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the era of gene analysis and targeted immunotherapy
Authors: Yoon Jae-Ho , Lee Seok
Published: January 2024

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is one of the most rapidly changing hematological malignancies with advanced understanding of the genetic landscape, detection methods of minimal residual disease (MRD), and the development of immunotherapeutic agents with good clinical outcomes. The annual incidence of adult ALL in Korea is 300–350 patients per year. The WHO classification of ALL was revised in 2022 to reflect the molecular cytogenetic features and suggest new adverse- risk subgroups, such as Ph-like ALL and ETP-ALL. We continue to use traditional adverse-risk features and cytogenetics, with MRD-directed post-remission therapy including allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. However, with the introduction of novel agents, such as ponatinib, blinatumomab, and inotuzumab ozogamicin incorporated into frontline therapy, good MRD responses have been achieved, and overall survival outcomes are improving. Accordingly, some clinical trials have suggested a possible era of chemotherapy-free or transplantation-free approaches in the near future. Nevertheless, relapse of refractory ALL still occurs, and some poor ALL subtypes, such as Ph-like ALL and ETP-ALL, are unsolved problems for which novel agents and treatment strategies are needed. In this review, we summarize the currently applied diagnostic and therapeutic practices in the era of advanced genetic analysis and targeted immunotherapies in United States and Europe and introduce real-world Korean data.
The a posteriori error estimates of the Ciarlet-Raviart mixed finite element method for the biharmonic eigenvalue problem

Published: January 2024

The biharmonic equation/eigenvalue problem is one of the fundamental model problems in mathematics and physics and has wide applications. In this paper, for the biharmonic eigenvalue problem, based on the work of Gudi [Numer. Methods Partial Differ. Equ., 27 (2011), 315-328], we study the a posteriori error estimates of the approximate eigenpairs obtained by the Ciarlet-Raviart mixed finite element method. We prove the reliability and efficiency of the error estimator of the approximate eigenfunction and analyze the reliability of the error estimator of the approximate eigenvalues. We also implement the adaptive calculation and exhibit the numerical experiments which show that our method is efficient and can get an approximate solution with high accuracy.
MAG-Net : Multi-fusion network with grouped attention for retinal vessel segmentation
Authors: Jiang Yun , Chen Jie , Yan Wei , Zhang Zequn , Qiao Hao , Wang Meiqi
Published: January 2024

Retinal vessel segmentation plays a vital role in the clinical diagnosis of ophthalmic diseases. Despite convolutional neural networks (CNNs) excelling in this task, challenges persist, such as restricted receptive fields and information loss from downsampling. To address these issues, we propose a new multi-fusion network with grouped attention (MAG-Net). First, we introduce a hybrid convolutional fusion module instead of the original encoding block to learn more feature information by expanding the receptive field. Additionally, the grouped attention enhancement module uses high-level features to guide low-level features and facilitates detailed information transmission through skip connections. Finally, the multi-scale feature fusion module aggregates features at different scales, effectively reducing information loss during decoder upsampling. To evaluate the performance of the MAG-Net, we conducted experiments on three widely used retinal datasets: DRIVE, CHASE and STARE. The results demonstrate remarkable segmentation accuracy, specificity and Dice coefficients. Specifically, the MAG-Net achieved segmentation accuracy values of 0.9708, 0.9773 and 0.9743, specificity values of 0.9836, 0.9875 and 0.9906 and Dice coefficients of 0.8576, 0.8069 and 0.8228, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms existing segmentation methods exhibiting superior performance and segmentation outcomes.
Automobile’s Exhaust Conversion into Energy and into Cool Air to be Utilized as an Alternative Source of Energy at Home and for Car Air-Conditioning
Authors: Bajaro Jhon Carlo P. , Tayactac Reylina Garcia
Published: January 2024

This article includes a car-use thermoelectric cooler and a generator driven by exhaust heat. Due to space constraints, automotive air conditioning systems are driver-oriented. The researcher invented a thermoelectric air conditioner that cools the back seat roof. The cooler is quiet and easy to assemble. The cooler was powered by an exhaust-pipe-mounted thermoelectric generator. The thermoelectric generator and cooler were incorporated into a storage device to provide continuous power to the cooler. A DC-DC Converter lets us store exhaust pipe heat energy and use it to cut household energy demand. This saves electricity and is eco-friendly. This study will design a thermoelectric system to improve automotive systems and reduce the environmental impact of vehicle waste heat, which can contribute to global warming.
In Vitro Effect of PEG and Proline on Callus Growth and Minerals Values in Basmati Rice (Oryza sativa)
Authors: Adress S. , Khokhar M. I. , Fatima R. N. , Rehman S. U.
Published: January 2024

Purpose: Drought is a universal issue that disturbs photosynthetic system, adversely affecting quality and crop yield. The study was conducted to determine response of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as stressing agent alone or combination with proline on four fine rice genotypes for callus components as well as biochemical parameters like Chromium (Cr), Magnesium (Mg), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Phosphorus (P).Research Method: Callus was induced on media having 4.43g/L MS + 4mg/L 2, 4-D (2, 4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) + 30g/L sucrose + 1.76g/L phytagel with different levels of PEG “1.25g/L and 2.5g/L” with and without 1ml/L proline.Findings: Callus was used for different analyses after 30 days and results showed that PEG treatments have a negative effect on callus fresh weight, callus dry weight, days to callus induction, callus percentage, and mineral nutrients like K, Cr, Mg, Mn, Fe, P. PEG 2.5g/L showed a greater decrease as compared to PEG 1.25g/L. Proline significantly raises callus growth alone or in combination with PEG but less than control whereas callus dry weight, K, and Ca contents increased more than control when proline applied alone or with PEG combination.Originality/value: Exogenous proline application improves callus growth rate as well as macro- micro elements by mitigating the effect of PEG.
Exploring Genetic Diversity of Maize (Zea mays L.) Accessions in Sri Lanka by Employing SSR Markers on Photosynthetic, Canopy Architectural and Grain Yield Traits
Authors: Nashath M. N. F. , Mubarak A. N. M. , Kumara A. D. N. T.
Published: January 2024

Purpose: The favorable alleles identified in maize landraces are treasurable resources to enhance the genetic base of crop breeding efforts. Therefore, our pioneering research aimed to explore SSR markers related to maize canopy architectural, photosynthetic and yield traits and hence to study the genetic diversity of 19 local maize accessions compared with high-performing maize cultivar Bhadra, as standard variety. Research Method: Genomic DNA extraction was done from young leaves of maize seedlings using standard protocols. The SSR markers employed were phi065, phi116, umc1065, umc1066, umc1222, umc1231, umc1545, bnlg155, bnlg249 and bnlg1805. Data analysis was performed using GenAlex and DARwin software. Findings: Four of the used markers (umc1066, bnlg1805, phi116, and phi065) had PIC values higher than that of the overall mean (0.692), showing their potential in this genetic diversity study. These markers are mainly associated with leaf area index, plant height, leaf chlorophyll content and quantum efficiency of photosystem II. The highest genetic diversity measures were observed in SEU2, SEU17, SEU18 and SEU23, compared to Bhadra while the lowest were in SEU3. The level of inbreeding was higher in SEU8. Cluster analysis identified three major genetic groups and the landraces collected from various areas did not exhibit any geographical association. Research Limitations: Large number of SSR markers are need to explore biomass and grain yield traits.

Purpose: Increasing human population and extreme consumption of fossil fuels create a potential to generate alternative energy sources. Bioethanol is a renewable energy resource for fossil fuels and it can be produced from low-cost raw material. This study was aimed to convert the low-value freshwater flora into high-value bioethanol using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and to optimize the conditions for yield enhancement with the Azolla filiculoides substrate.Research Method: The freshwater flora was collected, cleaned, dried and then pre-treated with 1 M H2SO4 solution at 121 0C for 15 min. The flora with significantly higher yields of reducing sugar and alcohol was chosen for further research. Three pre-treatment techniques, including acid (1 M H2SO4), enzymatic (1% α-amylase), and a combination of both (1 M H2SO4 and 1% α-amylase) were applied to the selected substrate. The technique that resulted in a significantly higher reducing sugar and alcohol yield was chosen.Findings: The study revealed that Azolla filiculoides substrate produced significantly higher alcohol yield with Saccharomyces cerevisiae using combination of chemical and enzymatic pre-treatment technique. When fermentation was done at varying H2SO4 concentration (0.50-1.75 M), fermentation time (12-60 h), temperature (20-450C), rotation speed (50- 250 rpm) and inoculum concentration (25-150 g/L), and significantly higher alcohol yield (19 times than the non-optimized) was obtained after 36 h, at 40 0C and 0.75 M H2SO4 concentration with an inoculum concentration of 75 g/L at 200 rpm.Originality/ Value: The study concluded that Azolla filiculoides can be used as an efficient raw material for alcohol production.

Distinct subsets of T lymphocytes express CX3CR1 under inflammatory conditions, but little is known about CX3CR1+CD4+ T cells during type 2 inflammation in helminth infections. In this study, we used a fate-mapping mouse model to characterize CX3CR1+CD4+ T cells during both acute Nippostrongylus brasiliensis and chronic Schistosoma mansoni murine models of helminth infections, revealing CX3CR1+CD4+ T cells to be an activated tissue-homing subset with varying capacity for cytokine production. Tracking these cells over time revealed that maintenance of CX3CR1 itself along with a TH2 phenotype conferred a survival advantage in the inflamed tissue. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of fate-mapped CX3CR1+CD4+ T cells from both the peripheral tissue and the spleen revealed a considerable level of diversity and identified a distinct population of BCL6+TCF-1+PD1+CD4+ T cells in the spleen during helminth infections. Conditional deletion of BCL6 in CX3CR1+ cells resulted in fewer CX3CR1+CD4+ T cells during infection, indicating a role in sustaining CD4+ T cell responses to helminth infections. Overall, our studies revealed the behavior and heterogeneity of CX3CR1+CD4+ T cells during type 2 inflammation in helminth infections and identified BCL6 to be important in their maintenance.

Published: January 2024

Background: Despite the availability for nearly twenty years of an effective vaccine, hepatitis B remains one of the most frequent viral diseases throughout the world. Mother-to-child transmission is one of the primary routes of transmission in children.
Objective: To assess the vaccine response in children born to HBV-infected mothers.
Methods: HBsAg-positive consenting mothers registered in the antenatal care (ANC) service database of Centre Hospitalier Dominicain St-Martin de Porres, Yaounde were enrolled with their children. Socio-demographic characteristics were collected using a tested questionnaire. The 5 markers of hepatitis B were tested and the quantification of anti-HBsAg antibodies was done by indirect ELISA method. The data collected was analyzed using Microsoft excel and Epi-info software.
Results: Out of 5,996 women registered, 143 were identified as HBsAg positive (2.38% prevalence), of which 50 were enrolled in the study. Of the 50 positive mothers, 78 children were included with a mean age ± standard deviation of 2.33 ± 2.86 years. No child was infected with HBV, but all have been exposed to the virus (HBeAb-positive). Overall 64 (82.05%) received at birth both anti-HBs immunoglobulin (HBIG) and a dose of vaccine, while 14 (17.95%) received only the birth dose of vaccine. 72 (92.31%) children received all three recommended doses of the vaccine. Vaccine responders were 62.82% (above 10 IU/mL), while 37.18% of children were non-responders; representing a higher risk group if not boosted.
Conclusion: The coverage of anti-HBV vaccine in children in this study was 92.31%. The protection level of 62.82% is below the 95% recommended rate by WHO. The factors sustaining this suboptimal protection should be investigated.

Published: January 2024

The present study carried during the year 2022-23, worked on the impact of the introduction of genetically improved strains of rainbow trout on the economy of the fish farmers, in comparison to the normal strains. The economy of 40 farmers in groups of 20 Normal stock (NS) and Genetically Improved Stock (GIS) each was conducted and interviewed using a pre-tested questionnaire. The investigation showed that fixed capital investment on sample farm was Rs.1.25 lakh per raceway in both the set ups. The major share of investment was for the construction of raceway, which accounted for 68.53% of total investment on sample farms. The share of total variable cost was 58.37% in NS and 48.50 in GIS per cent and fixed cost was 41.62 in NS and 51.49 in GIS group. Feed was the major cost component accounting for about 46.43 per cent of the total cost in NS, while as it was reduced to 37.15% in GIS, thereby encouraging as a key factor in deciding profitability of trout farming. Resource use efficiency showed that feed was overutilized while labor was under-utilized in NS, while as it was optimally utilized in GIS group. The returns to scale in trout production of 1.25 indicates increasing returns to scale in trout production. High price of feed and seed are found to be the major constraints in trout culture. The B-C ratio worked out to be 1.37 in NS group and 1.87 in GIS group, indicating the economic feasibility of trout farming in the Kashmir valley, and better economic profile of farmers farming GIS strain.

African catfish is a popular freshwater aquaculture species as it can be farmed at high stocking density. However, high stocking density caused growth and health impairment. Hence, nutritional approach such as feed additive can be applied in fish farming to overcome this issue. This study evaluated the impacts of ginger (Zingiber officinale) leaf powder (GLP) on growth performance, digestive enzymes activities, antioxidative response, and disease resistance towards Edwardsiella tarda infection in African catfish. A feeding trial was performed using a control diet and four formulated diets with GLP at 1, 2, 3, and 4%. Ginger is an herb used in cuisine and traditional medicine. It was reported possesses medicinal values such as antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, and immune system modulator. After eight weeks, the growth performance of GLP-treated African catfish was significantly improved than control, and the best results were observed in the 2 and 3% groups (p<0.05). Meanwhile, fish supplemented with 1 and 4% GLP demonstrated comparable growth performance. There was a significant decreasing trend in FCR, HSI, and VI, where the lowest values were recorded by the 2 and 3% GLP diet groups, followed by 1% GLP, 4% GLP, and control groups (p<0.05). The digestive enzymes activity, including amylase, lipase, and protease, was significantly higher in dietary GLP groups than in control, where the highest activity was exhibited by groups 2 and 3% GLP (p<0.05), followed by 1% and 4% GLP groups. There was an increasing trend in the antioxidative response, where the GLP-treated groups had significantly higher catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities than the control, and the highest was observed in fish fed with 2 and 3% GLP (p<0.05). Furthermore, the GLP-treated groups had a significantly higher cumulative survival rate than the control, where 2 and 3% GLP groups demonstrated the highest survival (p<0.05), followed by 1 and 4% GLP groups. In summary, this study revealed that dietary GLP potentially enhanced African catfish production at recommended doses of 2 and 3%.

Published: January 2024

We study the vector spaces and integer lattices of cuts and flows of an arbitrary finite CW complex, and their relationships to its critical group and related invariants. Our results extend the theory of cuts and flows in graphs, in particular the work of Bacher, de la Harpe and Nagnibeda. We construct explicit bases for the cut and flow spaces, interpret their coefficients topologically, and describe sufficient conditions for them to be integral bases of the cut and flow lattices. Second, we determine the precise relationships between the discriminant groups of the cut and flow lattices and the higher critical and cocritical groups; these are expressed as short exact sequences with error terms corresponding to torsion (co)homology. As an application, we generalize a result of Kotani and Sunada to give bounds for the complexity, girth, and connectivity of a complex in terms of Hermite's constant.

Nous étudions les espaces vectoriels et les réseaux entiers des coupures et flots d’un CW-complexe arbitraire fini, et leur relations avec son groupe critical et invariants similaires. Nos résultats développent la théorie des coupures et flots dans les graphes, en particulier le travail de Bacher, de la Harpe et Nagnibeda. Nous construisons des bases explicites pour les espaces des coupures et des flots, donnons une description topologique de leurs coefficients, et décrivons conditions suffisants pour qu’ils soient des bases entières des réseaux des coupures et des flots.De plus, nous déterminons les relations précises entre les groupes discriminantes des réseaux, et les groupes critical et cocritical; ces relations prennent la forme des suites exactes courtes, avec termes correspondant à la torsion (co)homologie. Comme application, nous généralisons un résultat de Kotani et Sunada sur bornes pour la complexité, la circonférence, et la connectivité d’un CW-complexe en termes de la constante d’Hermite.
Descent sets for oscillating tableaux

Published: January 2024

The descent set of an oscillating (or up-down) tableau is introduced. This descent set plays the same role in the representation theory of the symplectic groups as the descent set of a standard tableau plays in the representation theory of the general linear groups. In particular, we show that the descent set is preserved by Sundaram's correspondence. This gives a direct combinatorial interpretation of the branching rules for the defining representations of the symplectic groups; equivalently, for the Frobenius character of the action of a symmetric group on an isotypic subspace in a tensor power of the defining representation of a symplectic group.

Dans cet article, nous définissons la notion d’ensemble de descentes pour un tableau oscillant. Ces descentes sont analogues aux descentes d’un tableau standard dans la théorie des représentations des groupes généraux linéaires. Nous montrons que la correspondance de Sundaram préserve cet ensemble et nous donnons une interprétation combinatoire directe des règles de branchement pour la représentation des groupes symplectiques. Enfin, nous décrivons combinatoirement les caractères de Frobenius associés à l’action du groupe symétrique sur les composantes isotypiques du produit tensoriel des représentations d’un groupe symplectique.
