Authors: De Melo Jardel Anderson Freitas , Rocha Karla da Silva
Published: October 2023

A Amazônia é reconhecida como a maior floresta tropical contínua do mundo e desempenha um papel essencial na regulação do clima global. No entanto, a ocorrência de incêndios na região apresenta-se como um desafio de extrema urgência, com potenciais consequências devastadoras para a biodiversidade, o meio ambiente e as comunidades locais. A Reserva Extrativista Chico Mendes (RECM), localizada no estado do Acre, destaca-se como uma das unidades de conservação ambiental federal brasileira mais ameaçadas pelo desmatamento e pela incidência de queimadas. Portanto, compreender a dinâmica do fogo e seus principais causadores nas áreas de proteção torna-se crucial para a prevenção e proteção desses locais. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o padrão de ocorrência do fogo, sua relação com o desmatamento e outras variáveis na RECM. Para isso, foram utilizadas técnicas de sensoriamento remoto, densidade de Kernel e análise de correlação espacial de Pearson e Moran de variáveis propulsoras com os focos de calor. Resultados indicaram que as variáveis desmatamento, altitude, distância de ramais e rodovias juntamente com fatores climáticos, como vento, umidade relativa, umidade do solo, precipitação e irradiação solar, apresentaram correlação significativa com a ocorrência de incêndios na reserva. Essas descobertas destacam a importância desses fatores na promoção do fogo na região e fornecem subsídios valiosos para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de prevenção e controle do fogo na RECM.

Intelligent System to Transformer Slang Words into Formal Words
Authors: Abdulstar Ibrahim Ahmed , Shareef Mustafa Ban
Published: October 2023

Understanding and utilizing informal words not recognized in standard dictionaries poses challenges for users. These words are specific to certain communities, hindering comprehension for those outside. Natural language processing tasks, like translation and summarization, struggle with informal vocabulary and local dialects. Although existing models can translate informal words, comprehensive solutions are elusive due to regional and contextual variations. Developing natural language processing models that consider informal words and local dialects is crucial for future research. This paper presents an updated dataset of informal English words tailored to current usage. Multiple models from the Transformer core library on the Hugging Face platform were trained and evaluated, with the facebook/bart-base model demonstrating high accuracy (training data loss: 0.05299). Continued research and innovation in this field are imperative for effective cross-cultural and intercommunity communication
A Brief Description of the Music of the Tajiks in China
Authors: Zhang Yaqin
Published: October 2023

The Tajiks have a long history, and the term “Tajik”, which translates as “crown” in Persian, is widely recognised by the Tajiks in our country. According to evidence, in several centuries BC, the ancestors of the Tajiks in China were the Iranian-speaking tribes in the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau. Ancient Tashkurgan was a stronghold of economic and cultural exchanges between the East and the West, and on the plateau known as the “Roof of the World”, the Tajiks’ ancestors gradually developed their own unique cultural charms in the course of ongoing exchanges. The first part of this essay focuses on a brief description of the origin and history of the Tajiks in China, from the second century BC to the present. The second part briefly describes the religious beliefs of the Chinese Tajiks, from the beginning of Zoroastrianism, to the later introduction of Buddhism, and up to the present day Islam. The third part briefly describes Tajik music. The author divides Tajik music into four parts: folk songs, folk instrumental music, folk songs and dances, and music for religious ceremonies. The author summarised the characteristics of Tajik music after nearly two months of investigation and research in Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County in Xinjiang in 2023, combining the findings of some other scholars.
Early Historic Appreciation of Landscapes, Their Value and the Contribution of Ansel Adam’s Photographic Art to Landscape and Nature Conservation
Authors: Cabral João Paulo S.
Published: October 2023

Antoine Furetière’s Dictionnaire universel published in 1690 was the first to present the modern meaning of the term paysage as the “aspect of a country, the territory that extends within sight”. The first landscape paintings were made in Flanders in the 15th century and depicted views of the countryside. Landscape painting of the sea and the mountains only became generalized in the 18th century, with forests and deserts becoming popular subject in the century that followed. In the 20th century, geography and ecology appropriated the meaning of landscape which then became the figuration of the biosphere integrated into a distinct territory compartment. The idea of an intrinsic value of wilderness and wild landscapes is quite recent and is based on the idea that all organisms must be protected and that the spiritual bonds that link human beings to the wild are indispensable to their mental health. Through an analysis of Ansel Adams’s letters, I hypothesize that his love for nature and his perception of how urgent it was to preserve the wilderness were the catalyst and foundation of his photographic process. Following Adams’s thinking, I propose here that landscape photography can be actively involved in nature conservation and wilderness preservation.
How Art Semiotics Affects Our Behaviour and Judgement
Authors: Huang Tianyou
Published: October 2023

Symbols are tools used by humans to understand the world and interpret art works. During this process, art and the signs in the artworks affect the viewer’s way of thinking and judgment. This is an interesting phenomenon and a significant way for viewers to interpret works of art. The author divides this article into three parts, starting from the fact that “art is unnatural” but a product of human consciousness, to how the “inclination of art” affects our judgment and values, and finally to raise actual cases to talk about “pan-aestheticisation” and its impact on society.
An Analysis of the Role of Gothic Architecture in Crimson Peak
Authors: Bi Kaihui
Published: October 2023

Gothic architecture’s expression of anxiety about the relationship with the past, about the family, evokes the imagery of ghosts, and thus this type of house as a haunted site. Guillermo del Toro’s 2015 Crimson Peak provides a good example of the contribution of Gothic architecture to the atmosphere and visualisation of haunted house narratives in modern Gothic cinema, and demonstrates that the untraceable history of the Gothic sets the stage for the relationship between the traumatic memories of the past and the present. In the following part, we will delve into the confrontation between past and present suggested by Gothic architectural features, using Crimson Peak as a case study of how Gothic architecture has provided a lasting influence on the genre.

The Nepotism and Favouritism in Politics of South Asia
Authors: Thapa Santa Bahadur
Published: October 2023

This article explores the concept of nepotism, a political technique with limited conceptual clarity. It highlights its significant impact on society, affecting individual effectiveness and performance. The growing prevalence of nepotism in politics substantially threatens social and economic development. Historically, history, political analysis, sociology, and psychology have been prominent areas of study on sociocultural processes. The paper focuses on these organisational patterns’ underlying factors, consequences, and potential remedies. The article argues that prevailing social and economic conditions contribute to the proliferation of favouritism and the rapid growth of nepotism. Formal institutions often lack trust and interpersonal credibility, leading to corruption in governmental systems. Moreover, nepotism can improve the welfare of informal institutions. The article supports the notion that nepotism often leads to the placement of relatives in higher positions, diminishing the overall effectiveness of the public.

The 20th Party Congress has put the promotion of cultural self-confidence and self-improvement and the forging of a new glory of socialist culture in front of the whole Party as an important task for the comprehensive construction of a modernized socialist country and the strengthening of the Party’s ability to govern. Under the new situation of new opportunities and challenges in the new era, if we want to build a modern socialist country in all aspects, we must adhere to the road of socialist cultural development with Chinese characteristics, enhance cultural self-confidence, build a strong socialist culture around raising the flag, gathering the people’s hearts, educating new people, promoting culture and displaying the image of a socialist cultural powerhouse, develop a socialist culture that is modernized, scientific and popular among the nation and the people, and stimulate the creative power of national cultural innovation and enhance the ability to realize the goals of a modernized, scientific and popular socialist culture. The development of a modern, world-oriented and future-oriented national, scientific and popular socialist culture will stimulate the cultural innovation and creativity of the whole nation and enhance the spiritual strength for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Therefore, it is necessary to have an accurate position in understanding, at least grasp three aspects: firstly, we should accurately grasp what culture and advanced culture are; secondly, we should recognize the necessity of continuously improving the ability to build advanced socialist culture and enhancing cultural self-confidence; and thirdly, we should continuously improve the ability to build advanced socialist culture and enhance the key point of cultural self-confidence. Only by grasping these three aspects can we continue to enhance the soft power of national culture and the influence of Chinese culture on the new journey of building a modern socialist country.

Published: October 2023

As the first peak in the development of Chinese drama, Yuan Dynasty Zaju was influenced by various factors in its formation. The external structure of Yuan Dynasty Zaju includes the music system and the script system, both of which exhibit different inheritances of “existing forms.” The music system was selected based on musical forms such as daqu, changzhuan, and various palace tunes, while the script system evolved through continuous practical exploration based on the trial-and-error experiences of drama performance. In pursuit of artistic continuity, this study explores the formation path of Yuan Dynasty Zaju, tracing its origins and connecting the artistic forms that preceded and followed the development of drama.

Published: October 2023

Herein, the effectiveness of locally sourced and autoclaved nylon mosquito net mesh for the repair of external abdominal hernias was investigated. Eleven animals (7 cattle and 4 buffaloes) having hernial ring sizes of 8 to 30 cm in diameter were divided into two Groups 1 (5 animals) and Group 2 (6 animals). In Group 1, nylon mosquito net mesh was used, and in Group 2, polypropylene mesh was used for the repair of defects. The animals were sedated with xylazine HCl and given local anaesthesia during surgery. Over the external hernial sac, an elliptical skin incision was made. The internal hernial sac was bluntly dissected and freed down to the hernial ring. The internal hernial sac was opened, and the hernial ring was repaired with nylon mosquito net mesh or polypropylene mesh using the inlay technique. After hernioplasty, the sac and subcutaneous tissue were repaired with prolene suture material. The skin incision was closed with simple interrupted mattress sutures using monofilament polyamide suture material. Antibiotics and analgesics were given postoperatively, and povidone iodine was used to treat the suture line daily. The skin sutures were removed on the 10th to 15th postoperative day, depending upon the wound condition. Mild inflammatory swelling in Group 1 was observed at the incision line, which had completely subsided by the 15th postoperative day. The wounds healed by first intention in both groups. In any case, no recurrence was seen in a follow-up period of 3 months. Without clinical signs of wound dehiscence, infection, or recurrence, all animals recovered uneventfully.

Published: October 2023

This research delves into the intricate relationship between transformational leadership and employee engagement. By examining a specific demographic within a designated industry, we aimed to discern the direct and mediating effects of leadership styles on work involvement. The study's design was cross-sectional, capturing insights at a singular point in time. Our findings underscore the positive correlation between transformational leadership and heightened work engagement. Moreover, certain behaviors, such as problem-solving, emerged as significant mediators in this relationship. However, the study's design and reliance on self-reported data present certain limitations. Future research avenues include adopting a longitudinal approach and integrating diverse samples to enhance the depth and applicability of our insights.

The Ocean Observation Systems (OOS) group of the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) is involved in the design, development and sustenance of moored data buoys in the Indian Seas. The moored buoy systems deployed in the Northern Indian Ocean provide real-time, continuous observation of surface meteorological and oceanographic parameters which help in monitoring extreme weather events and natural disasters such as cyclones and tsunamis. Buoy components are of different sizes and shapes and are made of various materials, including metals and plastics. However, due to unique and critical design requirements, the development of deep-sea components faces hurdles caused by manufacturing limitations. The advent of additive manufacturing (AM) has met the demand for quickly producing parts. Due to the high pressure and low temperature conditions, it is extremely difficult to design and develop deep sea components. Consequently, High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) material has been selected for the subsurface floats. The float is manufactured using the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) additive manufacturing technique in the Fabheads 1K FDM printer with pellet based extrusion method. These subsurface floats are used at a water depth of 500 m in NIOT buoy systems, with a working pressure of approximately 50 bar. Taking a factor of safety of two into account, the part is designed to withstand 100 bar. To assess the component's performance under deep-sea hydrostatic conditions, it underwent testing in the hyperbaric chamber test facility at NIOT. During the qualification process, the component successfully withstood the design pressure of 100 bar and imploded at 102 bar. This study is part of NIOT's ongoing efforts to indigenize deep-sea components using AM and assess its future prospects.

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) mucositis is one of the serious side effects of methotrexate (MTX) treatment. It is known that oxidative stress plays an important role in drug-induced side effects. Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the effect of gallic acid (GA) against MTX-induced intestinal mucositis in male Wistar rats. Methods: Twenty-eight adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 7), including (1) control group; (2) GA group (gallic acid: 30 mg/kg/day, orally); (3) MTX group [20 mg/kg, intra peritoneal (IP)]; and (4) (MTX + GA) group (MTX: 20 mg/kg, IP and gallic acid: 30 mg/kg/day, orally). Then amounts of malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), interleukin 2 (IL-2) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) were analyzed in serum samples and then the histopathological examinations of the duodenum and jejunum of animals groups. Results: The results showed that treatment with GA significantly reduced the MTX-induced elevation of serum MDA (P < 0.001), NO (P < 0.001), IL-2 (P < 0.001) and IL-6 (P < 0.001) contents and increased MTX-induced reduction in GSH (P < 0.001) content, GPx (P < 0.001) and SOD (P < 0.001) activity. In addition, the histopathological results showed that MTX leads to intestinal tissue damage, and gallic acid can remarkably improve the pathological changes. Conclusions: Our results indicate that gallic acid can mitigate oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory parameters and also moderately prevent histopathological damage of the small intestine of rats exposed to MTX.
Contributions to new challenges in radiotherapy : from small field dosimetry to stereotactic body radiation therapy
Authors:   , Puxeu Vaqué Josep
Published: October 2023

The use of small Fields has substantially increased in radiotherapy during recent years mainly due to expansion in the use of modulated techniques which are also used at some institutions for Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT). The use of modulated techniques in lung SBRT is controversial due to the interplay effect. At the same time, small-volume dosemeters have appeared on the market in an attempt to try to cover new dosimetry necessities.
This PhD deals with different features related to small-field dosimetry. It first analyzes the influence of differences between ionization chambers of the same type on dosimetry factors determining 0.5% as the upper limit on the possible influence. Correction factors for PTW-31016 are also proposed and the effect of a particular chamber of this model has been found to be up to 2.8% for 0.5 cm square. These correction factors have been determined by Monte Carlo calculations and have been validated with measurements on fattened and unflattened beams by analyzing the main sources of influence. The last chapter is devoted to SBRT, and suggests a fast and accurate plan set-up together with PUMA, a method to evaluate the interplay effect in lung SBRT.

L’ús de camps petits de radiació s’ha incrementat molt durant els últims anys, degut a l’expansió en l’ús de tècniques d’intensitat modulada. Aquestes tècniques també s’utilitzen en alguns centres per irradiar pacients en el que es coneix com a SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy). L’ús de tècniques d’intensitat modulada en SBRT de pulmó és controvertit degut a L’interlay effect. En paral·lel, en els darrers anys han aparegut nous dosímetres de petit volum per intentar cobrir les noves necessitats en dosimetria.
Aquesta tesi s'ocupa de diferents característiques relacionades amb la dosimetria dels camps petits. En primer lloc, s'analitza la influència de les diferències entre les càmeres d'ionització del mateix tipus en els diferents factors relacionats amb la dosimetria, i s’observa que en condicions de referència les diferencies en els factors de correcció són inferiors al 0.5%. També es proposen factors de correcció per volum per la càmera d’ionització PTW-31016, Es determina que les petites diferencies en la geometria poden comportar diferències en els factors de correcció de fins a 2.8% per a un camp quadrat de 0.5 cm. Aquests factors de correcció han estat determinats mitjançant simulacions Monte Carlo i s'han validat en feixos de fotons amb i sense filtre aplanador. Al mateix temps s’ha fet un anàlisi de les principals fonts d'influència. L'últim capítol està dedicat a la SBRT, on es proposa una configuració per irradiar en poc temps un pla de tractament de SBRT juntament amb PUMA, un mètode per avaluar l’interplay effect en SBRT de pulmó
WTEA : Millores de la metodologia per al desenvolupament d’auditories energètiques
Authors:   , García-Almiñana Daniel
Published: October 2023

This PhD thesis shows the results of 10 years of energy audits for buildings as a proposal for a methodological improvement in the energy audit process itself. The main findings are referred to the three key points of any energy audit:
- Data collection: this thesis recommends a widespread use of energy meters as the basic tools for identifying energy efficiency in buildings.
- Data analysis: this thesis recommends both a correlation analysis between demand / consumption and demand / temperature as the basic procedure for the identification of the key elements for improving energy efficiency in buildings.
- Improvement proposals: this thesis recommends a new definition of the Energy Management Opportunities based on primary measures (actions on the building envelope and insulation systems), secondary measures (actions on the energy transformation systems) and tertiary measures (actions on the control and management systems of the building).
The two main advantages of using these methodological changes are:
- Reduced costs in the development of basic or detailed audits given the lower cost of the Walk-Through Energy Audits and its comparable results.
- The tertiary measures improvements are easily identifiable by the WTEA whilst not so easily though basic or detailed energy audits.

Aquesta tesi presenta els resultats de 10 anys d'auditories energètiques a edificis en forma d'una proposta de millora metodològica en el propi procés d'auditoria energètica. Les principals troballes fan referència als tres punts clau d'una auditoria energètica:
-Presa de dades: aquesta tesi proposa l'ús generalitzat de mesuradors d'energia com a instruments bàsics per a la identificació de la eficiència energètica als edificis.
-Anàlisi de dades: aquesta tesi proposa basar la anàlisi en correlacions demanda/consum i demanda/temperatura com a procediment bàsic per a la identificació dels principals elements de millora de l'eficiència energètica als edificis.
-Proposta de millores: aquesta tesi proposa una nova definició de les EMO (Energy Management Opportunities) basada en mesures primàries (actuacions sobre l'envolvent dels edificis i l'aïllament dels sistemes), secundàries (actuacions sobre els sistemes transformadors d'energia) i terciàries (actuacions sobre els sistemes de gestió i control del funcionament del sistemes energètics de l'edifici). Els dos principals avantatges de l'ús d'aquestes modificacions metodològiques són:
-Reducció de costos en el desenvolupament d'auditories bàsiques o detallades donat el menor cost d'aquestes auditories preliminars modificades WTEA (Walk-Through Energy Audit) i els resultats comparables.
-Les propostes de millora terciàries resulten fàcilment identificables mitjançant les WTEA, mentre que no ho són tant ni a les auditories bàsiques ni a les detallades

This study investigates the reading difficulties faced by EFL learners and proposes possible solutions for English Education students in an Indonesian university. Reading comprehension is a vital component of the English education curriculum, as it enables students to comprehend and analyze texts effectively. To conduct this study, a descriptive strategy was employed in combination with a qualitative approach. The questionnaire was designed to identify common challenges encountered by students, including difficulties in text translation, enhancing motivation, and the teaching methods employed by instructors. Data was collected through interview sessions, questionnaire responses, and documentation. The findings revealed that students predominantly struggled with sentence comprehension. By addressing these issues and fostering a desire to read, related challenges such as limited vocabulary, grammar proficiency, and sentence interpretation can be effectively tackled. Moreover, some students faced difficulties arising from inadequate teaching methods employed by their instructors. Consequently, this study concludes that students' reading difficulties primarily revolve around understanding the text itself, which in turn leads to other complications such as grammar mastery, vocabulary limitations, and text translation problems. These factors emerge from both students themselves and the instructional approaches adopted by their teachers.
