Qualitative Exploration of the Hidden Curriculum in Communicating Dog Breed Stereotypes During Veterinary Clinical Training
Authors: Caddiell Rachel M.P. , Gruen Margaret E. , Lascelles B. Duncan X. , Kedrowicz April A.
Published: April 2024

Cultural transmission of breed-specific beliefs about canine pain sensitivity occurs during veterinary education and training. However, breed-specific beliefs held by veterinarians do not align well with experimental measures of pain observed across dog breeds and are unlikely to be helpful in clinical decision making. The aim of the present study was to gain a deeper understanding of how dog breed pain stereotypes are developed and/or reinforced during clinical veterinary training. Non-participant, unobtrusive observations were conducted for a single clinical rotation block across three specialties. Field notes with contextual details were maintained and later transcribed and expanded using personal reflection. A thematic analysis revealed the following three themes: confusion and mixed messages related to instruction about pain; rotation microcultures and norms related to pain; and breed specific messages related to pain identification and treatment decisions. As students processed their social interactions, we suggest that they may have internalized breed stereotypes and used these to inform their perceptions about patient pain. This information will help facilitate the development of training to enhance veterinary medical education and promote best practices for pain identification and management in canine patients.

Authors:   Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, García-Marín David
Published: April 2024

Fact-checking is one of the main journalistic solutions against the disinformation challenge. In order for fact-checkers to perform their work efficiently, they need to base their action on the scientific method and the application of a verification systematic model to check false narratives. This article analyzes and describes the usual verification process carried out by these media institutions in the different phases of selection, execution and, above all, elaboration of the verification reports. The results of this journalistic work, published on the websites of these outlets, hybridize properties of different types of journalistic reports, but do not fit in neither of them. Therefore, the question is left open as to whether fact-checking is giving birth to a new journalistic genre (the fact-checking report) or simply reconfiguring some of the existing ones.

Published: April 2024

Актуальность темы исследования обусловлена тем, что проблема паводков в Акмолинской области является серьезной. Последствия паводков наносят ущерб не только социально-экономического характера, но и экологического. Сезонное повышение уровня воды в реках и дальнейшее затопление прилегающей местности влияют на агрохимическое состояние почвы, изменяются её структура, рельеф местности и биоценоз. Проблема заключается в том, что на сегодняшний день не уделяется внимания изучению именно экологических последствий паводков, а только дается оценка социально-экономическому ущербу, хотя ущерб экологический в долгосрочной перспективе нельзя недооценивать тоже. Одной из задач данного исследования ставится изучение влияния периодических паводков на состояние почвы, которые подверглись затоплению в поймах рек. Проводится оценка таких почв для принятия управленческих решений о дальнейшем использовании этих территорий. Объектом исследования данной статьи выступают земли в пойме р. Жабай, которая является правым притоком реки Ишим в Акмолинской области. Предметом исследования является изменение почвы под воздействием паводков. Цель научной статьи — оценить характер влияния паводков на состояние почвы и выработать рекомендации дальнейшему использованию почв, подвергшихся затоплению. Был проведен анализ почв осенью, летом и весной в течение нескольких лет, и приведены результаты анализа химического и морфологического состояния почв в динамике. Показано, как изменялось состояние почв в пойме р. Жабай в результате паводков.

Published: April 2024

Одна из важнейших глобальных проблем современности — сохранение природной среды. Гарантией эффективного сохранения природно-территориальных комплексов региона является создание сети особо охраняемых природных территорий (ООПТ), которая обладает репрезентативностью по отношению к ландшафтному и биологическому разнообразию. Также известно, что более строгий режим охраны, который характерен для заповедников и национальных парков, способствует успешной реализации задач охраны природы. В статье рассмотрено современное состояние ООПТ федерального значения Алтайского края — Государственного природного заповедника «Тигирекский» и Национального парка «Салаир», а также перспективы создания проектируемого Национального парка «Горная Колывань». Показано, что действующие и проектируемая федеральные ООПТ в крае располагаются только лишь в его горной части, а природные комплексы равнинной части края, которые также обладают большой природоохранной ценностью, охраняются лишь режимами заказников и памятников природы регионального значения. Площадь федеральных ООПТ за последнее время в крае увеличена с 0,25 до 1,5 % от площади региона, что является одним из самых низких показателей по регионам Сибирского Федерального округа. Создание Национального парка «Горная Колывань» играет большую роль в сохранении природного разнообразияи историко-культурного наследия Северо-Западного Алтая, позволяет объединить разрозненные региональные ООПТ в единое целое на организационном уровне. В случае создания данной ООПТ и придания охранной зоне заповедника федерального статуса доля федеральных охраняемых территорий возрастет до 2,5 % от площади края.

Aim. To study the association of serum nesfatin 1 (NF-1) levels with body mass index (BMI), body composition and rheumatic cachexia (RC). Design. Cross-sectional comparative study. Materials and methods. 110 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 60 healthy controls were enrolled in our study. Standard clinical and laboratory examination was performed. NF-1 levels were determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Each person undergone dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry with Total Body program. Results. Serum NF-1 levels were higher in patients with RA, compared with healthy controls (50.49 ± 34.05 vs 31.61 ± 3.17 ng/ml, t = 4.28; p < 0.0001). RC was determined in 30 patients. In healthy controls, the median level of NF-1 was higher in overweight patients than with normal BMI of class 1 obesity (H = 6.0; p = 0.049). NF-1 in patients with RA correlated with lean mass in legs (separately for the left one), left half of the body, trunk and android region. Median levels of NF-1 in patients were comparable in patients with or without RC. Conclusion. Despite we observed association between serum NF-1 levels and lean tissue mass, this neuroendocrine peptide can’t be used as a marker for RC (Z = 1.45; p = 0.147). Additional studies should be performed to clarify the mechanism of association of NF-1 with lean tissue mass, which would likely contribute to the development of a new approach to controlling this indicator. Keywords: nesfatin 1, rheumatoid arthritis, body composition, body mass index, rheumatic cachexia.
Recent Progress and Synthetic Methods for Single-crystalline Cathode in Lithium-ion Batteries
Authors: Kim Taewan , Kang Byeonggu , Jeon Mingi , Chae Sujong
Published: April 2024

Ni-rich layered transition metal oxides have been regarded as the most feasible way for achieving high energy density of lithium-ion batteries. Conventional Ni-rich cathodes are composed of spherical secondary particles, consisting of numerous primary particles. Unfortunately, the grain boundaries in the polycrystalline structure are vulnerable to the pulverization, leading to microcracks during cycling. The newly exposed surface from the microcrack can induce undesirable side reactions with the electrolyte, which severely deteriorates the battery performance. On the other hand, single-crystalline Ni-rich cathodes have gained significant attention for industrial applications due to their robust mechanical strength, resulting from the elimination of grain boundaries. The improved mechanical properties of single-crystalline cathodes effectively mitigate the interfacial side reactions, thereby attaining superior structural, thermal, and electrochemical performance. Herein, we have introduced various synthetic methods of the single-crystalline cathode, encompassing not only high-temperature sintering and the molten-salt method for the Ni-rich cathode but also the other strategies for different single-crystalline cathode materials. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of single-crystalline cathode synthesis, with implications for the development of high-performance cathode materials.

Authors: Kwak Jongwook , Kyung Sooah , Kim Hyokyeong , Lee Jinyong , Kim Jiwoong
Published: April 2024

The finite element method is commonly utilized for high-temperature ceramics, such as cutting tools, thermal/environmental barrier coatings, and aerospace applications. Cutting performance is influenced by both internal and external factors, including heat transfer, and cutting speed. Friction coefficients and heat transfer issues reveal limitations on cutting tool efficiency, requiring accurate modeling and validation. Although oxide formation and crack failure for barrier coatings are discussed, ceramic materials and geometry must be studied. Extensive research on the nucleation and propagation of micro-crack is needed for next-generation spacecraft component applications by validating the established model based on experimental observation. Modeling and verification research improves ceramic reliability under more stress conditions.
Augmented reality as a technology that supports the spatial development process
Authors: Kaźmierczak Rafał , Szczepańska Agnieszka
Published: April 2024

Motives: The solutions for designing spatial development methods in planning documents are presented as 2D graphics with supplementary descriptions. Due to the lack of specialist knowledge and insufficient spatial imagination, some readers may be unable to understand the graphic and descriptive content of such documents. The above can lead to the construction of objects that disrupt spatial order without violating the law. This problem can be solved by applying augmented reality (AR) in spatial planning. This paper presents the capabilities of a method for visualizing different spatial development variants on the example of buildings. A model of a building plot and the surrounding area, covered by a local spatial development plan, was developed.Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the applicability of the AR technology for identifying low-precision areas in the plan and its potential impact on the method of land development, with a resulting deterioration in spatial order.Results: The use of the AR technology enables analyses and assessments of planned development in the context of spatial order and its integration with the existing elements. Visualizations presented with the AR technology show that different interpretations of the local zoning plan generate spatial chaos. The utility of 3D visualization for an average reader was also presented. The AR technology can be used at the stage of preparing planning documents (community participation, adopting the plan), adopting by-laws (councilors), and enforcing these regulations (investors’ decisions).
Audio Stream Analysis for Deep Fake Threat Identification
Authors: Jędrasiak Karol
Published: April 2024

This article introduces a novel approach for the identification of deep fake threats within audio streams, specifically targeting the detection of synthetic speech generated by text-to-speech (TTS) algorithms. At the heart of this system are two critical components: the Vocal Emotion Analysis (VEA) Network, which captures the emotional nuances expressed within speech, and the Supervised Classifier for Deepfake Detection, which utilizes the emotional features extracted by the VEA to distinguish between authentic and fabricated audio tracks. The system capitalizes on the nuanced deficit of deepfake algorithms in replicating the emotional complexity inherent in human speech, thus providing a semantic layer of analysis that enhances the detection process. The robustness of the proposed methodology has been rigorously evaluated across a variety of datasets, ensuring its efficacy is not confined to controlled conditions but extends to realistic and challenging environments. This was achieved through the use of data augmentation techniques, including the introduction of additive white noise, which serves to mimic the variabilities encountered in real-world audio processing. The results have shown that the system's performance is not only consistent across different datasets but also maintains high accuracy in the presence of background noise, particularly when trained with noise-augmented datasets. By leveraging emotional content as a distinctive feature and applying sophisticated machine learning techniques, it presents a robust framework for safeguarding against the manipulation of audio content. This methodological contribution is poised to enhance the integrity of digital communications in an era where synthetic media is proliferating at an unprecedented rate.

RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF THE MAN AND THE CITIZEN ON TEMPORARY OCCUPIED TERRITORIES: MAJOR VIOLATIONS AND PROTECTION MECHANISMS
Authors: NALYVAIKO Larysa
Published: April 2024

This article focuses on the identification of primary infringements within the domain of human rights and freedoms in temporarily occupied territories, as well as the delineation of protective mechanisms. The study systematically examines the existing legislation in Ukraine concerning the determination of the legal status of individuals residing in these territories. Extensive evidence is provided to substantiate mass violations of human and citizen rights and freedoms in temporarily occupied areas, with a particular emphasis on the considerable transgressions against personal, economic, social, and cultural rights. A meticulous analysis of these rights’ violations within these territories is conducted. Notably, the article underscores that the list of systematically restricted or violated rights and freedoms may be expanded due to the armed aggression of the russian federation. Furthermore, the study delves into the instruments available for safeguarding human rights in temporarily occupied territories. It has been determined that, with the aim of addressing national security issues amid a state of war and persistent armed aggression, the state is obliged to systematically and efficiently respond to all potential infringements upon the rights and freedoms of individuals residing in temporarily occupied territories. A conclusion has been drawn that, for the effective safeguarding of human rights in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, the legislator has incorporated a series of normative legal acts into the national legislative framework, exerting a direct influence on the protection of the rights and freedoms of individuals situated in these territories. Nevertheless, the temporally occupied territories remain beyond Ukraine’s jurisdiction, rendering the implementation mechanism of normative provisions in this sphere intricate. It is posited that, in light of the substantial and systematic violations of national legislative norms and international treaties in this domain by the russian federation, Ukraine’s primary task lies in the development of an efficacious toolkit for the protection of the rights and freedoms of individuals within the context of temporary occupation. Additionally, it determines the position and role of international cooperation in the protection of rights and freedoms for individuals and citizens in such territories. The article concludes by highlighting the imperative need for a comprehensive approach in the mechanism designed for protecting human rights in temporarily occupied territories to attain the most effective outcomes.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can be of various shapes such as spherical, nanorod, cylindrical, cubic, irregular, etc on textile materials. However, there is a huge scarcity of literature on the mechanisms of different shapes of AgNPs. In this study, 3 sets of fabric samples were prepared by pretreating with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), citric acid, and non-ionic detergent (span-80). To investigate the diverse shape mechanism green synthesized AgNPs by Calendula arvensis leaves, Citrus reticulate peel, and Cucumis sativus peel extracts were incorporated into the fabric samples. The samples were characterized by UV-VIS Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The UV-VIS spectra confirmed successful AgNP synthesis for Calendula arvensis and Citrus reticulata, but Cucumis sativus failed AgNP synthesis. The AgNPs were incorporated into the treated fabrics by padding and in-situ method. Then the SEM and XRD images were analyzed meticulously to delve into the nanoparticle shape-building mechanism in light of pH, incorporation methods, and crystallography. It was seen, that pH was the core factor in shape diversity. A pH lower than 7.0 produced predominately closed-pack crystals (111) and due to the low pH, the Gibbs free energy (GFE) was weaker and hence resulted in spherical nanoparticles. Again, the pH range from 7.1 to 8.0 produced cubic shapes due to a high number of open-pack crystals (110) and moderate Gibbs free energy (GFE). On the other hand, pH greater than 8.0 provided high Gibbs free energy, which expedited the reaction and led the nanoparticle shapes to anisotropy.

Published: April 2024

The article proposes a new structure of a photonic integrated circuit for multiplying vector signals by a matrix. The architecture and principles of operation of modern photonic integrated circuits according to the given classification are briefly described. The proposed system consists of three layers, which includes a radiating, receiving and intermediate block with apertures. The connection of the photonic integrated circuit to the necessary electrical circuit for the investigation of the output signals of the photonic integrated circuit is described. With the help of the electrical circuit, we can monitor and control the input signals on each waveguide of the radiating unit, and track the change of the output signals that have passed through the system and fixed at the output of each waveguide. In the course of the study, we develop graphs of the levels of input and output signals of the system. With the help of which we represent the system errors and the change of signals, which makes it possible to calibrate the system. Calibration of the photonic integrated circuit is carried out by calibrating all electrical elements of the radiation and the receiving unit. In the emitting unit, it is necessary to select the same LEDs according to their characteristics, and with the help of variable resistors, which are connected to each pair of LEDs, calibrate the LED to the same brightness. We control the uniformity of brightness with the help of an IR camera. To calibrate the receiving unit, we fix the shadow noise and enter the reference coefficients for each receiver. After all the units were configured, the system was tested. A block with a specific aperture location was created, and the output signal was removed. Based on the results of the study, we proved that the system calibration is correct and that the system is operational.

Learning media is an important part as a means so that students can understand the material well. However, in reality, sometimes the media used is not appropriate, which has an impact on students' lack of attention, low learning outcomes and lack of attainment of 21st century skills. The ability to think critically is one of the 21st century skills. The digestive system is one of the materials in grade V school science. Base. The digestive process and diseases of the digestive system are still difficult for students to understand, this is because the material is presented only in book and power point teaching media. This is based on the results of observations and interviews with class V teachers. Meanwhile, the abstract digestive system material requires students' critical thinking skills. In stimulating critical thinking skills, students can utilize digital virtual Reality learning media. Virtual Reality media can visualize which students will experience directly. This research is quantitative descriptive research. With observations, interviews and surveys of 31 teachers at the Pal Merah District Elementary School, Jambi City. Thus, the aim of this research is to analyze the need for virtual Reality media to improve critical thinking skills regarding class V digestive system material.

How Will California’s Electric Vehicle Policy Impact State-Generated Transportation Revenues? Projecting Scenarios through 2040
Authors: Agrawal Asha Weinstein , King Hannah , Tasaico H. A. “Burt”
Published: April 2024

California faces unprecedented uncertainty about how much revenue the state will raise from a package of taxes on motor fuels and annual registration fees on light-duty vehicles that was established in 2017 by Senate Bill 1 (SB 1). The SB 1 taxes are by far the largest source of revenue that the State of California generates to support maintenance, operations, and improvements for state highways, and the funds also contribute substantially to local transportation and public transit budgets. To help policymakers navigate the uncertainty about future SB 1 transportation revenue, this study used spreadsheet models to project revenue from the SB 1 taxes through 2040 under a set of eight scenarios that consider a wide range of possible futures. The scenarios consider changes to revenue that could arise from implementation of California’s zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) regulations, as well as potential changes in driving costs, population size, vehicle ownership rates, and trucking industry operations. Key findings include: • It is impossible to project future revenues with any confidence for more than a few years into the future. By 2040, annual revenue ranges from a low of $4.81 billion to a high of $12.15 billion. • The state may lose substantial revenue if the SB 1 taxes and fees are not changed and/or replaced within the coming few years. In 2027, just three years out, projected annual revenue for some scenarios drops by more than a billion dollars below 2024 revenue. • A fast ICE to ZEV transition would significantly reduce annual revenue—but so could changes in VMT. • Fuel taxes currently provide most SB 1 revenue, but by 2040 California may rely on vehicle registration fees to provide most of the revenue.
MantaRay-ProM: An efficient process model discovery algorithm
Authors: Gupta Shikha , Deshmukh Sonia , Kumar Naveen
Published: April 2024

Discovering the business process model from an organisation’s records of its operational processes is an active area of research in process mining. The discovered model may be used either during a new system rollout or to improve an existing system. In this paper, we present a process model discovery approach based on the recently proposed bio-inspired Manta Ray Foraging Optimization algorithm (MRFO). Since MRFO is designed to solve real-valued optimization problems, we adapted a binary version of MRFO to suit the domain of process mining. The proposed approach is compared with state-of-the-art process discovery algorithms on several synthetic and real-life event logs. The results show that compared to other algorithms, the proposed approach exhibits faster convergence and yields superior quality process models.
