The Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Lameta Formation is well-known for its osteological and oological remains of sauropods from the eastern and western parts of the Narmada Valley, central India. The newly documented ninety-two titanosaur clutches from Dhar District (Madhya Pradesh State, central India) add further to this extensive data. Previously parataxonomy of these titanosaur clutches was carried out with a few brief reports on palaeobiological and taphonomic aspects. The quantitative data collected from the new clutches (this study) opens avenues to additionally understand more about titanosaur palaeobiology and to qualitatively understand preservation and taphonomical aspects of their egg clutches. Herein, we document 256 eggs and three clutch patterns (viz. circular, combination, linear) that are assignable to six oospecies. The high oospecies diversity points to a possible high diversity in titanosaur taxa in the Indian sub-continent though it is not reflected in titanosaurid body fossils. All the macro- and micro-structures helped in understanding egg deformation and preservation from a taphonomic point of view. Additionally, a pathologic egg documented from the study area helped in understanding the reproductive biology of titanosaurs, such as the possibility of segmented oviduct and sequential laying of eggs by titanosaurs. In addition, we made an attempt to infer aspects such as egg burial, absence of parental care, colonial nesting behavior. All the egg clutches were observed within sandy limestone and calcareous sandstone lithologies that occur in scattered outcrops with rocks showing floating siliciclastic grains in a micritic groundmass. Further, the presence of ferruginous sandstone in the Jamniapura and Padlya regions (Dhar District, central India) is indicative of a possible alluvial/fluvial setting. The presence of grainy intraclastic fabric, alveolar-septal fabrics, brecciation and shrinkage cracks observed in the clutch-bearing rocks are indicative of a low energy-low gradient palustrine depositional condition in a fluvial/alluvial setting. Finally, we envisage that a few egg clutches of this area were laid close to lake/pond margins while most were laid away from the lake/pond margins, and thus, were hatched.

Published: January 2023

Research grants are important for researchers to sustain a good position in academia. There are many grant opportunities available from different funding agencies. However, finding relevant grant announcements is challenging and time-consuming for researchers. To resolve the problem, we proposed a grant announcements recommendation system for the National Institute of Health (NIH) grants using researchers’ publications. We formulated the recommendation as a classification problem and proposed a recommender using state-of-the-art deep learning techniques: i.e. Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), to capture intrinsic, non-linear relationship between researchers’ publications and grants announcements. Internal and external evaluations were conducted to assess the system’s usefulness. During internal evaluations, the grant citations were used to establish grant-publication ground truth, and results were evaluated against Recall@k, Precision@k, Mean reciprocal rank (MRR) and Area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC-AUC). During external evaluations, researchers’ publications were clustered using Dirichlet Process Mixture Model (DPMM), recommended grants by our model were then aggregated per cluster through Recency Weight, and finally researchers were invited to provide ratings to recommendations to calculate Precision@k. For comparison, baseline recommenders using Okapi Best Matching (BM25), Term-Frequency Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF), doc2vec, and Naïve Bayes (NB) were also developed. Both internal and external evaluations (all metrics) revealed favorable performances of our proposed BERT-based recommender.
A study on optimization of delayed production mode of iron and steel enterprises based on data mining
Authors: Shi Zhiming , Li Yisong , Lu Changxiang
Published: January 2023

Delayed production mode has been adopted by an increasing number of process production enterprises as a method to realize mass customization of multi-products. This paper used the convolutional neural network-long short-term memory artificial neural network algorithm (C-LSTM) in data mining technology to analyze and determine factors that have an impact on delayed production mode in the internal and external production and operation of enterprises. Combined with the actual production situation of iron and steel enterprises, a quantitative model of the delayed production was constructed. Lastly, data from a large iron and steel enterprise with good operation was used to verify the validity of the proposed model and analyze key influencing factors. According to the research, in scenarios of considering PDP alone, considering CODP alone, considering both PDP and CODP, considering PDP and CODP and using data mining technology to model, the matching degree of these methods with the actual situation of the enterprise is 31.8%, 61.4%, 71.6% and 86.6%, respectively. The numerical analysis results of the model based on data mining technology show that in delayed production, when customer service level improves or the delay penalty coefficient increases, the optimal locations of the product differentiation point (PDP) and customer order decoupling point (CODP) move toward the end of production, and the total cost increases gradually. When the difference in production cost or benefit of early delivery between the candidate locations of PDP and CODP is small, optimal locations of PDP and CODP are close to the beginning of the general and dedicated production processes. With an increase of cost difference or early delivery benefit, the optimal locations of PDP and CODP jumped to the end stage of the general and dedicated production processes, and the total cost begins to decrease.

The screening of flu-like syndrome is difficult due to nonspecific symptoms or even oligosymptomatic presentation and became even more complex during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, an efficient screening tool plays an important role in the control of highly contagious diseases, allowing more efficient medical-epidemiological approaches and rational management of global health resources. Infrared thermography is a technique sensitive to small alterations in the skin temperature which may be related to early signs of inflammation and thus being relevant in the detection of infectious diseases. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of facial thermal profiles as a risk evaluator of symptoms and signs of SARs diseases, using COVID-19 as background disease. A total of 136 patients were inquired about the most common symptoms of COVID-19 infection and were submitted to an infrared image scanning, where the temperatures of 10 parameters from different regions of the face were captured. We used RT-qPCR as the ground truth to compare with the thermal parameters, in order to evaluate the performance of infrared imaging in COVID-19 screening. Only 16% of infected patients had fever at the hospital admission, and most infrared thermal variables presented values of temperature significantly higher in infected patients. The maximum eye temperature (MaxE) showed the highest predictive value at a cut-off of >35.9°C (sn = 71.87%, sp = 86.11%, LR+ = 5.18, LR- = 0.33, AUC = 0.850, p < 0.001). Our predictive model reached an accuracy of 86% for disease detection, indicating that facial infrared thermal scanning, based on the combination of different facial regions and the thermal profile of the face, has potential to act as a more accurate diagnostic support method for early COVID-19 screening, when compared to classical infrared methods, based on a single spot with the maximum skin temperature of the face.
Anthropogenic impacts on tidal creek sedimentation since 1900
Authors: Bost Molly C. , Deaton Charles D. , Rodriguez Antonio B. , McKee Brent A. , Fodrie F. Joel , Miller Carson B.
Published: January 2023

Land cover and use around the margins of estuaries has shifted since 1950 at many sites in North America due to development pressures from higher population densities. Small coastal watersheds are ubiquitous along estuarine margins and most of this coastal land-cover change occurred in these tidal creek watersheds. A change in land cover could modify the contribution of sediments from tidal creek watersheds to downstream areas and affect estuarine habitats that rely on sediments to persist or are adversely impacted by sediment loading. The resilience of wetlands to accelerating relative sea-level rise depends, in part, on the supply of lithogenic sediment to support accretion and maintain elevation; however, subtidal habitats such as oyster reefs and seagrass beds are stressed under conditions of high turbidity and sedimentation. Here we compare sediment accumulation rates before and after 1950 using 210Pb in 12 tidal creeks across two distinct regions in North Carolina, one region of low relief tidal-creek watersheds where land cover change since 1959 was dominated by fluctuations in forest, silviculture, and agriculture, and another region of relatively high relief tidal-creek watersheds where land-use change was dominated by increasing suburban development. At eight of the creeks, mass accumulation rates (g cm-2 y-1) measured at the outlet of the creeks increased contemporaneously with the largest shift in land cover, within the resolution of the land-cover data set (~5-years). All but two creek sites experienced a doubling or more in sediment accumulation rates (cm yr-1) after 1950 and most sites experienced sediment accumulation rates that exceeded the rate of local relative sea-level rise, suggesting that there is an excess of sediment being delivered to these tidal creeks and that they may slowly be infilling. After 1950, land cover within one creek watershed changed little, as did mass accumulation rates at the coring location, and another creek coring site did not record an increase in mass accumulation rates at the creek outlet despite a massive increase in development in the watershed that included the construction of retention ponds. These abundant tidal-creek watersheds have little relief, area, and flow, but they are impacted by changes in land cover more, in terms of percent area, than their larger riverine counterparts, and down-stream areas are highly connected to their associated watersheds. This work expands the scientific understanding of connectivity between lower coastal plain watersheds and estuaries and provides important information for coastal zone managers seeking to balance development pressures and environmental protections.
Futurism on the streets of London
Authors: Simonelli David
Published: January 2023

Obvious evidence does not exist linking the Italian Futurists’ conception of men’s fashion in the 1910s and 1920s with the tastes of the Mod subculture in London of the 1950s and 1960s. Yet the aesthetic behind both Futurist fashion and the Mod subculture is strikingly similar and suggests that ideas on style and lifestyle can cross-pollinate each other across decades and countries, given the right circumstances. Both Futurists and Mods wanted to be, as Giacomo Balla put it in a 1913 manifesto, ‘Dynamic/Aggressive/Shocking/Energetic/Violent … [with] Pattern changes […] available by pneumatic dispatch; in this way anyone may change his clothes according to the needs of mood’. London’s Mod subculture came from a directly coincident desire to abandon traditional aesthetics and methods of expression in favour of a constant turnover. The Futurists promoted an artistic movement as a lifestyle, declared in manifestos and acted out in the streets and in politics and that bled into fashion as a manifestation of their ideas, worn literally on their sleeves. The Mods promoted a lifestyle as an art, acted out on the streets, with fashion as the manifestation of their individuality, brought down to the level of the tapering of their pants legs. In both cases, the expression of their lifestyle and values was consciously manifested in the clothes one wore on an everyday basis and connected through the talents of Italian tailors for quick, inexpensive alterations. The similarity suggests an association between Futurism and the Mod subculture, in the appeal of Italian men’s fashion to both groups and demonstrating that certain avant-garde ideals in western art had filtered to the level of the average person over the course of five decades.
‘Extended’ vocal techniques in the institution: The Extended Vocal Techniques Ensemble at the Center for Musical Experiment at UCSD
Authors: Noble Charissa
Published: January 2023

In the decades following the Second World War, novel sound technologies and the proliferation of ethnomusicological field recordings ignited curiosity and experimentation among many musicians; these cultural phenomena also sparked a re-examination of conventional Euro-American musical sound sources. Classically trained instrumentalists and singers – particularly those associated with the ‘experimental tradition’ – cultivated intentionally idiosyncratic musical practices and widened their range of sonic possibility; this cultural zeitgeist included a heightened interest in so-called extended vocal techniques. In this article, I examine the research and creative output of the Extended Vocal Techniques Ensemble (EVTE) of the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). Drawing from published literature, interviews and archival sources to write this account of the EVTE’s multifaceted work, I contextualize the group’s activities within UCSD’s interdisciplinary emphasis as well as in the broader social–historical discourses of ‘extended vocal techniques’. Furthermore, I address the implications of their story within the broader politics of vocal aesthetics and pedagogy in Euro-American classical music contexts. By unearthing the EVTE’s interdisciplinary vision for vocal study, I hope to not only spark interest in this ensemble’s contributions, but also to revive (and build upon) their vision of a radically reimagined vocal artistry and study in academic music and beyond.
Skylighght: Form and methodology for an encounter between the voice and saxophone
Authors: Bell Gelsey , Rogers Erin
Published: January 2023

Skylighghtis a piece for voice and tenor saxophone created by Gelsey Bell and Erin Rogers, of thingNY. The half-hour piece explores the duet structure in a number of different configurations, offering an intimate and vulnerable practice for finding the meeting ground of the voice and the saxophone, both sonically and physically. This Voicing contains the prose score for the piece with extensive description and methodologies for how to perform the piece. Some sections of the work respond to architectural space, while others use the unique pairing of a vocalist singing into the bell of the saxophone to make novel sounds. The final movement, ‘Building Canyons’, is designed for spotlighting the extraordinary multiphonics and harmonic partials that can be created when a vocalist sings into the instrument while the saxophonist is playing from the other end.

Published: January 2023

El carcinoma de cabeza y cuello (CCC) representa el 5 % del total de casos de cáncer en el mundo. Gracias a los diferentes avances y a la acelerada modernización tecnológica, hoy por hoy el tratamiento radioterápico IMRT/IGRT se ha convertido en uno de los pilares fundamentales para garantizar a los pacientes la mínima limitación y mayor conservación de las funciones, que les permita una adecuada calidad de vida y relación sociocultural. La Tomoterapia Helicoidal, se ha desarrollado específicamente, para la administración de tratamientos con radioterapia IMRT/IGRT, la cual permite un tratamiento de alta precisión, reduciendo de forma significativa el volumen de tejido sano expuesto a dosis altas, logrando así una menor incidencia de la toxicidad aguda y crónica. El objetivo principal del presente estudio es analizar mediante un estudio retrospectivo, los pacientes diagnosticados con CCC, durante el periodo comprendido entre septiembre de 2010 y agosto de 2013, que han recibido tratamiento con Tomoterapia Helicoidal en el Complejo asistencial Universitario de Salamanca (CAUSA), teniendo en cuenta las características físicas y dosimétricas, así como la tolerancia al tratamiento, midiendo la toxicidad aguda y crónica, la respuesta al tratamiento, las características del patrón de supervivencia y el control en el tiempo de la enfermedad. Tras valorar los resultados, en nuestra serie se observo una distribución epidemiológica similar a la publicada a nivel mundial. La supervivencia global y la supervivencia libre de recaída en los estadios avanzados de la enfermedad están en los rangos esperados. La toxicidad aguda como la mucositis fue alta con una importante proporción de pacientes con toxicidad moderada - grave. Sin embargo, la xerostomía aguda y crónica presentó una baja frecuencia siendo en su mayoría de intensidad leve.
Advancing the Study of Experiential Learning: Toward Evidence-Based Effectiveness
Authors: Bansal Utkarsh , Wittman Sarah , Sorek Gaya
Published: January 2023

In the modern education system, individuals are raised from an early age to adhere to learning processes focused around the hypo- thetical. Such conceptual learning, however, has recently been found to be less effective than a comparable style of learning called Experiential Learning, which is the process of learning by doing. By engaging students in hands-on experiences and reflection, they are better able to connect theories and knowledge learned in the classroom to real-world situations. However, the flexibility of Experiential Learning leaves it open to a wide range of interpretations, which does not establish a consistent bench- mark.

This research project focuses on establishing a concrete definition for Experiential Learning through the analysis of various experimental sce- narios and how it is measured in the post-secondary learning environ- ment. Taking into consideration the inductive processes we utilize to code our collected data, as well as the criteria we collect to filter our data. Such work would benefit a large part of the population through a more effective learning process and will allow other researchers to determine whether scenarios and other experiences fit the criteria to be evaluated as an experiential learning setting as well as design experiments that better reflect experiential learning as a whole.
Analysis of Human Genes Associated with Ebola using Online Bioinformatics Tools
Authors: Bachir Rahma Mohamed , Muhammad Adamu Ubaida
Published: January 2023

Ebola is a deadlydisease caused by a virus in the family of Filoviridae. The virion is a single-stranded RNA of negative polarity and proteins enclosed in a lipid membrane. This ebolavirus species in African countries has caused several severe epidemics. Its infection causes a rapidly fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans for which no approved antivirals are available. Currently, the diagnostic tests for this deadly disease are Enzyme-Linked Immunoassay (ELISA) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests; viral cultivation and biopsy samples may also be used. So, there is no standard treatment for Ebola hemorrhagic fever and only supportive therapy, and experimental treatment is available. We used online bioinformatics tools to understand and look for new therapeutic targets.

Authors: Grunbaum Sergio
Published: January 2023

This research assesses the risks and benefits of herbal medicine in an overview of scientific evidence in the field of medicine.
Objective: to study and assess the risks and benefits of herbal medicine in an overview of scientific evidence in the field of medicine; promoting the health of the population through information and guidance about different diseases and how to use herbal pharmacological preparations for their treatment, with a more dynamic approach and based on the social context, promoting an improvement in the quality of life.
Methodology: Production of a scientific article, using a qualitative approach and explanatory investigation of bibliographic research. Carried out in a participatory manner, through group research, bringing journals, articles, books and theses to medical students to build knowledge about the diseases dealt with and treatment by herbal preparations, thus allowing greater assimilation of the topics discussed. The VHL databases were used: LILACS, MEDLINE, MEDCARIB, PAHO-IRIS, WHOLIS. This work is a review article of several types of research on the topic of phytotherapy that reached the state of the art and was here described, transcribed and evaluated in our final considerations.
Results: There was an understanding that medical qualification in herbal medicine is of vital importance for the cure and/or treatment of various pathologies. The insertion of phytotherapy in public health services would also be a condition of professional and scientific help in this area, which is so popular and often encourages patients to self-medicate.
Final Considerations: The activity allows the application of academic knowledge in promoting community health and favours the creation of new knowledge for medical professionals and the historical recognition of herbal medicine already used by our ancestors, leading to an appreciation of this knowledge now put to evidence for prevention and health promotion.

Varying speed of light in the conformal cosmology
Authors: Vavrycuk Vaclav
Published: January 2023

In modelling the cosmic expansion, the conformal cosmology (CC) has several advantages over the standard cosmological model based on the FLRW metric: it is Lorentz invariant, it leaves the Maxwell’s equations unchanged from their form in the Minkowski spacetime, it properly predicts the cosmological redshift and cosmic time dilation, and it fits the Type Ia supernova luminosity data without introducing dark energy into cosmological equations. However, the CC metric seems controversial because it predicts a varying speed of light with cosmic time. Here, we show that this controversy is apparent, because the measured physical speed of light is always coordinate-dependent being not referred to an inertial free-falling system but to a non-inertial system experiencing the gravity field. Hence, the CC universe is fully consistent with the general relativity theory and physically well justified. Since the universe is dynamic and evolves in time, the space curvature is time dependent and the speed of light should vary. Importantly, the photons redshifted due to the expansion conserve their energy in the CC universe. The frequency of photons decreases due to the redshift, but their speed increases with the scale factor
a(
t). Hence, both effects are compensated and the photon energy is conserved.
Attemp of an Analysis of Human Biological Neural Algorithm for Sensing Earthquake Precursors
Authors: da Cao
Published: January 2023

We statistically validated the 2011-2022 earthquake prediction records of Ada, the

sixth finalist of the second Chinese AETA in 2021 (Supplementary 1), who made 147

proseismic forecasts (60% of which were 5.5 magnitude earthquakes) in 12 years

with a prediction accuracy above 70% with a confidence level of 95%. Since the

reliable seismic precursor signals described by Ada and the Alfvén wave

characteristics match quite well, this paper proposes a hypothesis on how to trigger

proseismicity based on the Alfvén superlength wave model of Gillette et al. (Q G)

Note (2): When the plume of the upper mantle column intrudes into the magma and

lithosphere of the soft flow layer during the rising and falling exchange of hot and

cold molten material masses in the deep interior of the Earth, it is possible, under

certain conditions, to bulk and surface plasma sheets are formed, forming Alfven

nonlinear isolated wavelets, and Alfven waves frequently perturb the geomagnetic

field and release huge heat and kinetic energy thus triggering earthquakes.

The study examined the healthcare beliefs and practices among Atas in Barangay Canggohob, Municipality of Mabinay, Negros Oriental, Philippines. There were 25 Atas, 10 of them were Ata women who have experienced pregnancy or were pregnant during the time this study was conducted and the rest are tribal healersand tribal leaderas respondents to the study. The qualitative-phenomenological research method was used in a descriptive stream utilizing focus group interviews, participant observation, and video documentation. The researcher is a member of the tribal group and a teacher in Barangay Canggohob. Ethical approval was secured, and the participants consented to the conduct of the research. The findings revealed that Atas still believed that sickness was caused by weather and supernatural forces of nature. The diversity of herbal medicines and the preparation have cultural importance to Atas' different stages of life and different healing practices. They still used bamboo blades for cutting the umbilical cords of Ata women who had given birth. There were not much of healthcare practices during puberty, adolescence, and adulthood except for menstrual beliefs and circumcision which were relative to their cultural views. Moreover, Atas perceived that technology, media, modernization, and medical missions and outreach programs disconnected them from their cultural identity. Atas have shown some reception to public health programs which contributed to the preservation of their cultural healthcare practices up to this time. The Atas in Barangay Canggohob have been part of society's mainstream. They haveidentified themselves because of their distinct health practices and beliefs.

Published: January 2023

Esta pesquisa analisou a aplicabilidade da Teoria do Adimplemento Substancial nas ações executórias de contratos de alienação fiduciária de bens móveis. O principal objetivo do trabalho foi compreender os fundamentos da referida teoria e a interpretação de alguns tribunais acerca de quando ela deve ser aplicada e se deve ser aplicada nesta modalidade de contratos. O problema de pesquisa pode ser identificado com a seguinte questão: nos contratos de alienação fiduciária em garantia em que se visa adquirir um bem móvel, quando o devedor houver adimplido parte considerável das parcelas do financiamento, a medida de busca e apreensão é considerada razoável? Buscou-se responder a esse questionamento por meio de uma revisão de literatura acerca do tema e por meio da análise de julgados do TJMG e do TJRS, além da análise aprofundada da decisão proferida pelo STJ no REsp REsp.1.622.555/MG. Concluiu-se que a Teoria do Adimplemento Substancial estava sendo aplicada pelo TJMG e pelo TJRS nos contratos de alienação fiduciária que tivessem sido adimplidos quase que completamente pelo devedor, afastando-se, nestes casos, a resolução contratual e a busca e apreensão do bem adquirido como medida razoável para solução do inadimplemento. Assim, percebeu-se que a decisão julgada pelo STJ contraria o entendimento até então consolidado nos referidos tribunais estaduais.

Diante das crises institucional e sanitária pelas quais passa o Brasil, surgem discussões sobre a criação da figura de um Primeiro-ministro como possível solução para um melhor diálogo entre os Poderes Executivos e Legislativo. Considerando-se certas disfuncionalidades dos três Poderes, uma alteração na Constituição Federal desse porte, ao mesmo tempo em que dificilmente traria vantagens, poderia prejudicar nossa democracia, especialmente frente a um Parlamento que por ter aprovado um fundo eleitoral de proporções amazônicas, mostra-se absolutamente divorciado da população. Além da educação e do voto consciente, a participação popular nos partidos políticos, por meio da filiação massificada voluntária, poderá servir de instrumento de reformulação do nosso sistema político de forma alinhada com os anseios populares.

Building structures with integrated energy-active elements (BSIEAE) present a progressive alternative for building construction with multifunctional energy functions. The aim was to determine the energy potential of a building envelope with integrated energy-active elements in the function of direct-heating, semi-accumulation and accumulation of large-area radiant heating. The research methodology consists in an analysis of building structures with energy-active elements, creation of mathematical-physical models based on the simplified definition of heat and mass transfer in radiant large-area heating, and a parametric study of the energy potential of individual variants of technical solutions. The results indicate that the increase in heat loss due to the location of the tubes in the structure closer to the exterior is negligible for Variant II, semi-accumulation heating, and Variant III, accumulation heating, as compared to Variant I, direct heating, it is below 1 % of the total delivered heat flux. The direct heat flux to the heated room is 89.17 %, 73.36 %, and 58.46 % of the total heat flux for Variant I, Variant II and Variant III, respectively. For Variant II and Variant III, the heat storage accounts for 14.84 %, and 29.86 % of the total heat flux, respectively. Variants II and III appear to be promising in terms of heat/cool accumulation with an assumption of lower energy demand (at least 10 %) than for low inertia walls. We plan to extend these simplified parametric studies with dynamic computer simulations to optimise the design and composition of the panels with integrated energy-active elements.

Medium-density PE (MFI, 0.712 g/10 min) was modified with Mg(OH)2, FR-20 grade, particle size 2.5 mm. Antiblocking and lubricating agents, 020—04, 020—15 and Lifoslip 220 PE were added as PE concetrates. Experimental extrusions in a Brabender Plastic-Corder (PLV 151 type) were carried out at screw speed 0.75 s-1, three-heating-zones temperatures 160oC, 170oC and 170oC, extruder head temperature 170oC, and extrusion velocity 1.72 mm/s. The pressure in the extruder head, the turning moment measured on the extruder screw, and the flow rate rose as the Mg(OH)2 content was increased (Figs. 1-3). With the Lifoslip agent, the pressure and the turning moment attained the lowest values. At high Mg(OH)2 contents, 57.5 and 60%, the pressure and the turning moment had values close to those attained with other auxiliary agents.
Poradnictwo zawodowe dla żydowskiej młodzieży szkolnej w Polsce w okresie międzywojennym

This article presents the beginnings of vocational counselling for school-attending adolescents in Poland. Vocational counselling developed in Poland in the Interwar period as a sub-discipline of applied psychology. The Jewish minority largely contributed to the development of this movement with Lvov at centre of it. Jews established a vocational counselling and psycho-technical institutes, putting the emphasis on school-attending adolescents and apprentices in craft companies, as well as developing new tools for psycho-technical measurements. Zionism was one of the reasons for the development of Jewish vocational counselling for young people. Zionists believed that young Jews should acquire a profession that would allow Jewish settlement in Palestine. This article also presents Zofia Lipszyc, Adolf Berman, Lea Fejgin-Gartensteyg, Jakub Kessler and Józef Weinbaum, unknown Jewish psychologists and psychotechcians.
Szkoła polska z lat ofensywy ideologicznej w oświacie (1948–1956) w świetle antologii wspomnień nauczycieli
Authors: Rozmarynowski Marcin
Published: January 2023

The aim of the article is to present the assumptions and methods behind the ideological pressure exerted on Polish teachers by the communist authorities in 1948–1956 as described in the teachers’ memoirs. The Polish Workers’ Party (later the Polish United Workers’ Party) during the Stalinist period tried to instil in teachers “socialist morality” by means of courses, conferences, additional education and an order to “self-educate”. The text contains a synthetic historical outline of the above-mentioned activities and their analysis based on the memories of credible witnesses to those events.
Influence of desiccation and water deficit on the initial development of seedlings of Tabebuia aurea (Silva Manso) Beth. Hook. and S. Moore (Bignoniaceae)

Desiccation tolerance mechanisms are one of the main factors related to the ability to survive water deficit conditions imposed by abiotic stress. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the desiccation tolerance and the influence of water deficit on the initial development of Tabebuia aurea (Silva Manso) Benth. & Hook.f. ex S. Moore. The seedlings were divided into two treatments the control and those that were submitted to 50% desiccation. The control groups received water daily over a period of 30 days, while the groups that underwent water deficit had water suspension for 14 days, totaling two cycles of water deficit over a period of 30 days. The results of this study indicate that seedlings of T. aurea survive desiccation and present less development, whether of the stem, roots, number of leaves, stem diameter when subjected to desiccation and consequent water deficit. Thus, these results indicate that the reduction in early development is related to the perception and attenuation of stressful conditions imposed by the abiotic environment during development.

Many useful and needed radionuclides for medicinal, astrophysical, and environmental research are produced naturally in inefficient quantities or not-at-all. In the method described here, rare cosmogenic isotopes were produced via spallation reactions in metallic vanadium and separated without adding any carriers. In the SINQ facility at the Paul Scherrer Institut, the vanadium targets were irradiated for two years with high-energy protons (≤590 MeV). After a cooling period of eight years, only relatively long-lived radionuclides such as 32Si, 44Ti, 41Ca, and 26Al remain present. After target dissolution, 32Si was first separated for a prospective half-life redetermination. The remaining 32Si-free solution was used for extracting 44Ti, 41Ca, and 26Al, three key isotopes which are scientifically interesting for nuclear astrophysics research as well as medical applications. Each separation scheme employed ion-exchange and extraction chromatography; developed and optimized using inactive model solutions analyzed with Inductively Coupled Plasma–Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP–OES). The irradiated samples were tracked with γ-ray spectroscopy for γ-ray emitting impurities. As a result, radiochemically pure sample solutions of 44Ti, 41Ca, and 26Al were obtained as “ready for use” in different application fields.

Real-time measurements of soil temperature and moisture fields in freeze-thaw areas provide data support for improving the durability of infrastructure. Compared to traditional sensors, optical fibers can determine soil temperature and moisture fields accurately, efficiently, and reliably, but their monitoring characteristics in freeze-thaw areas must be further investigated. In this study, optical fibers are applied for monitoring soil temperature and moisture in freeze-thaw soil based on distributed temperature sensing and an actively heated fiber optic method. The test results indicate that the spatial resolution of a fiber measuring tube constructed by winding optical fibers is 34 times higher than single fibers. A high correlation is confirmed between data measured by optical fibers and traditional sensors. For the soil temperature, the coefficient of determination is 0.98 and the root mean square error is 0.90°C. For the soil volumetric water content, the coefficient of determination is 0.94 and the root mean square error is 2.17 %. Furthermore, the optical fibers can identify the boundary between frozen and unfrozen soil through the value measured in the freeze-thaw process. The results reveal that the optical fibers are efficient in monitoring soil temperature and moisture fields in the freeze-thaw process and carry the advantages of in situ and distributed measurements, high measuring precision, and wide adaptability in working conditions.
