Genetic diversity, heritability, and genetic advance are crucial considerations in the field of plant breeding. This research aimed to evaluate these factors for traits related to yield in faba bean (Vicia faba L.), specifically focusing on the F3 and F4 generations resulting from the cross between ‘Sakha 3’ and ‘Nubaria 3’. In the initial season (2021/ 2022), 200 families from each F3 population were cultivated with specific spacing, and selection criteria included seed yield per plant (SYP) and the number of pods per plant (NPP). Top-performing plants were identified for the second cycle of pedigree selection. In the following season (2022/2023), the F4 families were arranged in a randomised complete block design. Traits like the number of branches per plant (NBP), NPP, SYP, and seed index (SI) showed substantial phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation, indicating their noteworthy variation. Phenotypic and genotypic correlation analyses showed positive associations between SYP and the NBP and NPP. Additionally, path coefficient analysis indicated that these traits had high positive direct effects on SYP. This research provides valuable insights into the genetic variability, heritability, and selection parameters for yield-related traits in faba bean, offering a foundation for future breeding programs aimed at improving yield and productivity.

Geospatial Approach for Quantitative Analysis and Implications of Drainage Morphometry of the Antsokia, Ethiopia
Authors: Negesse Mulugeta Demisse
Published: October 2024

This study employed remote sensing data, geographic information systems, and statistical methods to analyze the morphometric features of the Antsokia watershed and its sub-watersheds. It assessed drainage network, watershed geometry, drainage texture, and relief characteristics. The Antsokia watershed is drained mainly by a sixth-order river with a dendritic pattern. The mean bifurcation ratio (Rb) was 3.9, indicating a typical branching pattern, while sub-watersheds showed higher Rb values (>5), suggesting steep terrain. The longest flow path is 42.5 km, marked by knickpoints due to lithological changes and major faults. The watershed’s elongated shape indicates longer peak flows, aiding flood management. Drainage texture analysis revealed fine drainage, implying soft rock prone to erosion prevails. Most of the watershed comprises high relief and steep slopes (78 %), including hills, breaks, and low mountains. The S-shaped hypsometric curve with a hypsometric integral of 0.4 suggests the watershed is in a mature stage of geomorphic evolution and equilibrium. Sub-watershed morphometric parameters varied spatially, categorized into low, moderate, and high clusters. Overall, this study enhances understanding of Antsokia watershed’s characteristics, aiding in sustainable resource management and decision-making.
Decoupled Control of an Active Power Filter in a Vibrating Reference Frame
Authors: Wodyk Sebastian , Iwański Grzegorz
Published: October 2024

Active power filter (APF) control is a natural area of application for vibrating reference frame (VRF) transformation due to the intentional occurrence of higher harmonics in the active filter current compensating load current harmonics. Due to the vibrating frame transformation, the APF current can be represented by the DC values, and thus proportional-integral (PI) controllers are sufficient to control the converter current. However, in the typical approach, it may be impossible to combine harmonic filtration with reactive power compensation features, due to the transformation constraints. The solution to this issue is decoupling of the fundamental harmonic and high harmonic components and a separate control for each of them. This paper presents a decoupled control system of an APF, which uses VRF transformation for accurate control of high-current harmonics. Decoupling is a groundbreaking improvement of the VRF method. Moreover, different current limitation scenarios are proposed, considering both harmonics compensation and fundamental frequency reactive current compensation. Theoretical considerations are supported by simulation and experimental tests.
The Nelder–Mead Method-Based Improved Parameter Estimation of Single-Phase Induction Motors
Authors: Nguyen Son T. , Pham Tu M. , Hoang Anh , Trieu Linh V. , Cao Trung T. , Pham Tuan V.
Published: October 2024

This work presents a comprehensive method for precisely determining the equivalent circuit characteristics of single-phase induction motors (SPIM), including both direct and indirect steps. First, a DC test, a no-load test and a locked-rotor test are performed to ascertain the primary electrical characteristics of both the main and auxiliary windings. Next, the indirect phase consists of iteratively modifying the mechanical characteristics, such as the inertial moment and friction factor, in a motor simulation model in Simulink until they match the previously determined electrical parameters. In addition, the motor parameter estimate process can be improved by applying the Nelder–Mead optimisation approach, which eliminates the need to calculate partial derivatives of a cost function. The study also applies the scalar control to the SPIM. Ultimately, the efficacy of the suggested methodology is confirmed through a comparison of simulated and actual outcomes.
Impact of Dispersing on the Production and Extraction of Bio-Based Basic Chemicals from Biogenic Secondary Waste
Authors: Vogt Kyra Atessa , Steinberg Iris
Published: October 2024

Biogenic waste from waste treatment plants, secondary waste, can be used to produce bio-based carboxylic acids, conventionally produced by chemical synthesis from petroleum-based feedstocks or by synthesis from natural oils. The cascading use of organic residues and wastes to produce bio-based products can contribute to the circular bioeconomy. In the process of biologically treating waste to produce bio-based carboxylic acids, microorganisms already present in the secondary waste use ethanol to convert short-chain into medium-chain carboxylic acids. The medium-chain carboxylic acids were separated from the secondary waste using in-situ extraction (liquid-liquid extraction). In previous studies, laboratory-scale bioreactors without a dispersing function were used. To optimise production and extraction of medium-chain carboxylic acids, the bioreactors were equipped with a device to disperse the extraction solvent in the secondary waste. By increasing the surface area between the phases, the ability to extract the medium-chain carboxylic acids was improved. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of this dispersing process. Production and extraction rates of static bioreactors without dispersing were compared to those of dynamic bioreactors with dispersing on a laboratory scale, using leachate from a composting plant as secondary waste. The results confirmed that dispersion has a positive effect on the process. Dispersing increased the reduction of the nutrient ethanol, the production of medium-chain carboxylic acids in the secondary waste and the extracted medium-chain carboxylic acids.

Cultural implications in innovation adoption: an analysis in three countries
Authors: Mendes Isadora , Lazzari Fernanda , Salvador Christian Kleiton
Published: October 2024

Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the relationship of two national cultural dimensions (individualism and uncertainty avoidance) with the consumer innovativeness.
Methodology/approach: A descriptive research as conducted with three groups from three different countries, which evaluated, through a survey, the propensity of the respondents to look for innovations actively and independently.
Originality/Relevance: Considering companies are constantly introducing new products and services in countries where cultural traits are different, the understanding of the consumer behavior is fundamental for evaluating the acceptance of these innovations.
Key findings: It was observed that groups with strong collectivists characteristics, Brazilians and Colombians, tend to rely on the positive experience of friends and relatives to adopt an innovation. Regarding the uncertainty avoidance dimension, the results showed no significant differences among the three groups.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: With the constant intensification of the international trade, it is necessary to make an understanding of the peculiarities of a target audience for products and services, in order to create appropriate positioning strategies, because the levels of individualism of a culture act directly on consumers’ perceptions regarding the adoption of innovation.

Authors: Sharapov T. L. , Burmistrov M. V. , Sigal E. I. , Gordiev M. G. , Kholomanova Ch. V. , Fedorov V. I.
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCTION. Currently, the choice of tactics in the treatment of esophageal cancer remains an urgent problem. Important factors are: the stage of the disease, the functional state of the patient, as well as the morphological type of tumor. An integrated approach is today the standard for this pathology. However, after radical treatment, a significant number of complications are observed, in particular, the development of leakage of esophagogastroanastomosis. Today, according to world literature, it is generally accepted that the development of anastomotic leakage is associated with the detection of the disease in late stages, the consequences of radiation during combined chemoradiotherapy, and extensive surgical intervention for esophageal cancer.

The OBJECTIVE was to improve the results of treatment of patients with malignant neoplasms of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction, through the use of an integrated approach.

METHODS AND MATERIALS. During the period of 1988–2022, treated 2784 patients with cancer of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction were treated at the Republican Clinical Oncology Dispensary named after Prof. M. Z. Sigal. The study group included 1,799 patients who received surgical treatment, combined chemoradiotherapy in combination with surgery, and external beam radiation therapy in combination with surgery.

RESULTS. Due to changes in treatment tactics for patients with cancer of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction, postoperative mortality after surgical complications decreased from 24.3 % to 6.2 %, and anastomotic leakage in the postoperative period decreased from 27.0 % to 8.1 %.

CONCLUSION. Changes in the treatment of patients with cancer of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction made it possible to reduce the development of postoperative complications and increase life expectancy. The molecular genetic approach allows for effective analysis of screening, early diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.

Understanding the Big Picture Before Assigning Full Blame: The Lost Opportunity with the Oakland A’s
Authors: Nagel Mark
Published: October 2024

Despite operating in Oakland, California since the 1960s, the A’s have received Major League Baseball (MLB) approval to permanently move operations to Las Vegas in 2028. Though most fans and media members have placed the blame for the move on A’s primary owner John Fisher, a detailed analysis indicates that at least some of the blame for the A’s leaving their long-time home should be attributed to MLB and the MLB Players’ Association as they failed to recognize opportunities for the A’s to remain in the Bay Area and for the entire baseball industry to increase their short and long-term financial prospects. This paper provides information regarding MLB territorial rules, the history of the A’s situation, and pertinent MLB revenue and salary data to indicate that the A’s Las Vegas move is not only heartbreaking for long-time A’s fans but also a lost opportunity for the entire professional baseball industry.

Authors: Jide Olusegun Adedipe
Published: October 2024

Coconut (Cocos nucifera) plays a crucial role in agricultural economies, particularly in coconut-producing regions, where traditional de-husking methods are labor-intensive and time-consuming. This study focuses on the design, fabrication, and evaluation of a coconut de-husking machine aimed at improving processing efficiency, reducing labor demands, and increasing throughput. The machine was designed to address key performance factors such as frame stability, blade strength, and spring tension. Testing demonstrated that the machine consistently outperformed manual methods, reducing de-husking time to an average of 96.4 seconds compared to 164.8 seconds for traditional techniques. The machine achieved an efficiency rate of 80%, with a throughput capacity of 0.0086 kg/s, significantly higher than the manual method's 0.005 kg/s. Additionally, the machine's cost, approximately N32,000, makes it accessible to smallholder farmers, offering a practical solution for improving productivity and sustainability in coconut farming. The study highlights the potential for mechanized de-husking to transform traditional practices, reduce labor costs, and contribute to economic growth in coconut-rich regions. Future research should explore further optimization of the machine design and its adaptability to different coconut varieties and moisture levels, ensuring broad applicability in diverse farming contexts.

Published: October 2024

Desde enero de 1988 hasta septiembre de 1990 se atendieron 1,617 gestantes que en Armenia van al programa de control prenatal de los centros de salud y a quienes se les realizó la prueba de inmunofluorescencia indirecta para medición de anticuerpos IgG anti-toxoplasma. La prevalencia de positividad fue 63.3%. La incidencia de toxoplasmosis adquirida durante el embarazo fue 1.3% (12 casos entre 896 con seguimiento adecuado). Hubo 59.9% que reririeron poseer gatos propios o haber tenido contacto con ellos en el pasado, en 26.3% el contacto fue estrecho; 5.25% preferían carne a medio cocer. En estos grupos la tasa de positividad fue mayor al compararlos con los que no tenían tales factores: 67.7% cuando existió contacto con gatos, 73.6 % cuando hubo contacto estrecho (p < 0.002), 75% si la carne se consumía a medio cocer. La alta prevalencia y el análisis de regresión con respecto a la edad, tendían a indicar que casi todas las adquisiciones de la infección ocurrieron en la infancia. En consecuencia, se necesitan medidas preventivas que incluyan progra-mas de educación y de diagnóstico prenatal para disminuir la tasa de infección durante el embarazo.

Este artigo pretende articular os Estudos de Fãs e a Cultura do Cancelamento a partir de um estudo de caso específico. Para isso, realizamos uma revisão teórica baseada nos Estudos de Fãs a partir de Jenkins (1992), e o conectamos com o que Chiou (2021) elucida sobre a Cultura do Cancelamento. Metodologicamente, amparados por Hooks (2020), criamos uma linha do tempo para fazer uma análise de um episódio de cancelamento protagonizado pela cantora Pitty, no site de rede social X (antigo Twitter), em dezembro de 2023, depois de internautas interpretarem sua postagem como uma crítica direcionada à cantora Beyoncé. A ideia é que, a partir da análise deste acontecimento, possamos repensar alguns aspectos sobre o que Gray (2003) chamou de “antifãs” e, num segundo nível, avançar também numa proposta de categorização desses antifãs e/ou haters com base no que já foi feito por Monteiro (2013) e Gray (2019). Dessa forma, propomos uma reflexão sistemática da própria Cultura do Cancelamento no cenário midiático contemporâneo.

Se determinó una muestra de 57 fincas ganaderas con un nivel de confianza del 95%. Con los datos obtenidos, se utilizó estadística multivariada (análisis de conglomerados), para ello se aplicó el método de Ward y distancia Euclídea.Se logró la formación de tres grupos estadísticamente diferenciados (p<0.05), el grupo 1 (37% de fincas) alcanzó una sostenibilidad moderada (6.85 del índice general), seguida del grupo 3 (39% de fincas) que presentó una ligera sostenibilidad (5.77 del índice general), mientras que el grupo 2 (24% de fincas) se encuentró en una baja sostenibilidad (5 del índice general). Asimismo, se realizaron estimaciones de las emisiones de metano por finca representativa de cada grupo, utilizando modelos de simulación (LIFE-SIM). Las estimaciones determinaron que la finca 1 (con sostenibilidad moderada) emite menor metano al año (43.78 kilos/animal), mientras que la finca 2 (con sostenibilidad baja) emite mayor cantidad de metano (67.67 kilos/animal). Se encontraron dependencia entre la captura de carbono por finca y la calidad proteica de las pasturas con la producción de metano.

The paper analyzes the distribution of the Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) tracks in the Primorsky Krai municipalities according to observations obtained during the one-time winter count organized by the Pacific Institute of Geography of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2005. This task is related to the need to calculate the number of animals based on the tracks of their vital activity. Based on the initial data we form a sample to analyze a set of tracks to identify intersection areas of various tiger habitats in Primorsky Krai. The map of Primorsky Krai municipalities was presented in the form of a planar graph to identify their intersections. A recurrent algorithm for identifying tiger clusters was developed using graph theory methods. According to them, the territory of Primorsky Krai is divided into northern, central, southern and southwestern zones with intersections. The districts of Primorsky Krai included in the designated zones are listed. The total number of tracks in intersecting adjacent zones was counted to identify possible tiger migrations in Primorsky Krai. A quantitative assessment of the degree of intersection of the selected zones by the number of tiger tracks is given. The proposed calculation scheme can be used to clarify and verify the results of modeling the spatial distribution and total population size of the Amur tiger.

The aim of the presented work is to study the absorption of nickel ions by soils of the Udmurt Republic using four sorption models. Humus horizons (0–20 cm) of Albeluvisols Umbric, Leptosols Rendzinic and Phaeozems Albic soils widely distributed in Udmurtia were selected as objects of nickel adsorption research. According to the Langmuir model, good sorbents are characterized by high Amax values and low – KL, therefore, the best sorbent of nickel ions is Albeluvisols Umbric (Amax=0.0562 mol/kg, KL=2075.19 dm3/mol), and a weaker absorber is Phaeozems Albic (Amax=0.0192 mol/kg, KL=19474.48 dm3/mol), Leptosols Rendzinic occupies an intermediate position (Amax=0.0289 mol/kg, KL=14766.47 dm3/mol). The negative value of the Gibbs energy (∆G=–17.97 kJ/mol for Albeluvisols Umbric, –22.59 kJ/mol for Leptosols Rendzinic and –23.24 kJ/mol for Phaeozems Albic) indicates the spontaneous nickel adsorption by soil absorbing complex (SAC). In accordance with the Freundlich model, in all types of studied soils, the nickel ion – SAC binding energy decreases as the surface is filled, herewith the studied soils are characterized by heterogeneity of sorption centers. The approximation coefficient of the Temkin model is in the range of 0.80–0.85, therefore, the discrepancy between the experimental data of the theoretical model indicates the absence of interaction between the adsorbed particles. The Dubinin – Radushkevich model allows us to determine the nature of adsorption forces, as well as the value of the average free energy of adsorption: E=8,325 kJ/mol in Albeluvisols Umbric, 9.5477 kJ/mol in Leptosols Rendzinic and 9.6296 kJ/mol in Phaeozems Albic. Consequently, chemisorption is characteristic of all soils, and proceeds by an ion-exchange mechanism.

Представлены результаты изучения сортов и линий озимой тритикале в северо-восточной части ЦЧР. Выделены урожайные образцы, приспособленные к погодно-климатическим условиям региона. В среднем за годы испытания наибольшая урожайность отмечена у сортов Акинак – 56,9 ц/га, линия 3/107 – 58,8 ц/га, линия 3/86 – 57,8 ц/га. Расчеты показали, что линия 3/107, линия 3/86 и сорт Акинак являются высокостабильными, но менее пластичными. К пластичным сортам относятся сорт Тальва 100, линия 6/147, линия 2/3, линия 7/125, при неблагоприятных условиях эти генотипы резко снизили урожайность. Высокой стрессоустойчивостью обладали сорт Акинак, линия 3/86.

The results of study of varieties and lines of winter triticale in the North-Eastern part of the Central Black-Earth Region are presented. The yield samples adapted to the weather and climatic conditions of the region were selected. On average, during the years of testing, the highest yield was noted in Akinak varieties – 56.9 c/ha, line 3/107 – 58.8 c/ha, line 3/86 – 57.8 c/ha. Calculations have shown that 3/107 line, 3/86 line and Akinak variety are highly stable, but less plastic. Plastic varieties include Talva 100 variety, line 6/147, line 2/3, line 7/125, under unfavorable conditions, these genotypes sharply reduced yields. Akinak variety, line 3/86, had high stress resistance.
