Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study was to apply sheep pain facial expression scales (SPFES) to sheep infected with mastitis, measuring peripheral temperatures and serum cortisol hormone. Twenty-three healthy ewes and 23 infected ewes with clinical mastitis were included in this research from January 2022 to April 2023. Images were taken from each ewe to detect facial grimace scales of ewes. Nasal, eye and ear temperatures were collected using infrared thermal imaging camera. Moreover, serum cortisol hormone was collected from the blood. It was found that there was a significant decrease (p<0.01) in nasal, eye and ear temperatures of infected ewes in comparison to healthy ewes. Additionally, cortisol hormone was found significantly (p<0.01) higher in infected ewes at day 1 and day 7 compared to non-infected animals. The changes in facial expressions for all the determined five regions were significantly (p<0.01) different than healthy ewes. The total pain score was significantly (p<0.05) higher on day 1 and day 7, compared to healthy ewes. It was concluded that sheep facial grimace scale was a useful and practical tool for measuring pain in sheep. In addition, cortisol from the serum and peripheral temperatures were found to be useful pain indicators.

Heterotopic Ossification (HO) is a pathological condition characterized by the formation of bone outside the skeletal tissues, which is usually caused by either traumatic or neurogenic factors. Neurogenic HO is a rare complication that can occur after a cerebral or spinal injury. The condition can manifest with a range of symptoms and is often challenging to diagnose clinically. Although various imaging techniques have been employed to diagnose HO, clinicians and radiologists may occasionally encounter radiological features of HO that can resemble other disease conditions. In this report, we present a unique case of neurogenic HO that developed in the nonparetic limb of a patient with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

The purpose of this study is that as the demand for sauces increases, various types of sauce products that meet the needs of consumers are being released. Packages with designs that mislead consumers are also being introduced in various ways. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the color of Sampyo's 'Sammine Kitchen' product package, and through this, it is intended to provide primary data necessary to propose colors that can effectively express its products to consumers in product packages or advertisements and to help establish marketing strategies. A Korean sauce package posted on the company's website was analyzed as a research method. As a result of the study, first, most of the colors of the casting color and the logo were the same, and the color difference appeared only in the illustration. Second, all 17 packages use colors that are reminiscent of raw materials. Third, most of the package's colors are distributed in the YR series. This study found that the food package's color was most related to the primary material, and the symbolic color of the company that manufactures the product also occupied a part. Through this, the color of the food package can significantly contribute to promoting consumers' willingness to purchase and corporate marketing, and we hope that it will be recognized and appropriately utilized as a sales promotion role and marketing value.

Published: February 2024

Stimuli-responsive materials exhibiting exceptional room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) hold promise for emerging technologies. However, constructing such systems in a sustainable, scalable, and processable manner remains challenging. This work reports a bio-inspired strategy to develop RTP nanofiber materials using bacterial cellulose (BC) via bio-fermentation. The green fabrication process, high biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and abundant hydroxyl groups make BC an ideal biopolymer for constructing durable and stimuli-responsive RTP materials. Remarkable RTP performance is observed with long lifetimes of up to 1636.79 ms at room temperature. Moreover, moisture can repeatedly quench and activate phosphorescence in a dynamic and tunable fashion by disrupting cellulose rigidity and permeability. With capabilities for repeatable moisture-sensitive phosphorescence, these materials are highly suitable for applications such as anti-counterfeiting and information encryption. This pioneering bio-derived approach provides a reliable and sustainable blueprint for constructing dynamic, scalable, and processable RTP materials beyond synthetic polymers.

Authors: Schröder Lisa A. , Anderson Harry L. , Rončević Igor
Published: February 2024

Vibrations can significantly affect molecular properties, even at zero Kelvin. Accounting for these effects when using computational modelling is costly, as it requires many calculations at geometries distorted from equilibrium. Here, we propose a low-cost method for identifying vibrations most strongly coupled to the electronic structure, based on using orbital derivatives as a diagnostic.
Computational screening of hydrophobic zeolites for the removal of emerging organic contaminants from water
Authors: Brauer Jakob , Fischer Michael
Published: February 2024

The pollution of water resources by pharmaceuticals and agents of personal care products (PPCPs) poses an increasingly pressing issue that has received considerable attention from scientists and government agencies alike. Hydrophobic zeolites can serve as selective adsorbents to remove these contaminants from aqueous solution. So far, the adsorption of PPCPs in zeolites has often been investigated in case studies focusing on a small number of contaminants and one or a few zeolites. We present a computational screening approach to investigate the interaction of 53 PPCPs with 14 all-silica zeolites, aiming at a more comprehensive understanding of factors that are beneficial for a strong host-guest interaction and thus an efficient adsorption. The systems are modelled on the classical force field level of theory, allowing for the efficient computational treatment of a large number of PPCP-zeolite combinations and evaluated in terms of the interaction energy between PPCP and zeolite framework. For selected PPCP-zeolite combinations additional Free Energy Perturbation simulations are employed to compute Free Energies of Transfer between the aqueous phase and the adsorbed state. These results can serve as a starting point for experimental studies of relevant PPCP-zeolite combination or more in-depth theoretical investigations. Furthermore, the calculations can provide guidelines for the design of zeolite composite materials or even new zeolite frameworks with enhanced adsorption properties.

Spot blotch caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana Sacc. is one of the major diseases reducing the productivity and quality of wheat in Nepal, which is favored by high temperature and relative humidity. The experiment was conducted at research farm of Rampur Campus, Khairahani, Chitwan from 18th Nov 2021 to 29th Mar 2022, to identify the genotypes resistance against spot blotch. It was laid out in Randomized complete block design (RCBD) with twelve genotypes as treatments and three replications. Double digit scoring method was used to assess the disease five times from 90 DAS at the interval of 7 days and Area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) was calculated. Statistically, significant difference was obtained in all the observed traits except for plant height, spike weight, harvest index, and straw yield. The highest AUDPC value was recorded in RR-21 (2074) yielding 4.0 tonha-1 whereas the lowest AUDPC value was recorded in NL 1437 (781) yielding 6.1 tonha-1, suggesting it to be more resistant than other genotypes. NL 1447 was the highest yielder (6.5tonha-1) with a 985.185 mean AUDPC value followed by NL1437 (6.1 tonha-1) while RR-21 was the lowest yielder (4.0 tonha-1). The lowest apparent infection rate was detected for BL 4951 (0.018). Correlation studies indicated that total grains and grain weight per spike as well as the grain yield were negatively and significantly correlated with AUDPC.

Published: February 2024

Traditionally used methods to control insect pests are locally accepted, cost-effective, and sustainable to reduce resistance and foster long-term benefits. A household study was carried out in Surunga municipality in three wards of Saptari, Nepal namely Madhupatti, Sripur, and Haripur, Saptari to analyze the principal mango pest and farmer management practices. The moderate climate and edaphic characteristics of the Terai region are favorable for mango production in the district. Grafting was utilized to raise 93.3% of the total plant population in the respondent’s orchards, according to the data. The number of female family members involved in mango cultivation (88) was higher than the number of male family members (81). Gummosis, followed by Sooty Mould and Anthracnose, was the most common and devastating disease in the study area. Mango Hopper was determined to be the most common and harmful insect, followed by Fruit fly and Leaf Webber. With a mean of 15.6533% of the total predicted yield loss. In the study area, local management measures against diseases and pests were used less frequently. Also, 72% of the respondents didn’t use chemical insecticides/fungicides for the control of diseases and pests, and relevant organizations working in the area have failed to reach the majority of farmers in the research area.
Metabolic and circadian inputs encode anticipatory biogenesis of hepatic fed microRNAs
Authors: Usha Satheesan Sandra , Chowdhury Shreyam , Kolthur-Seetharam Ullas
Published: February 2024

Starvation and refeeding are mostly unanticipated in the wild in terms of duration, frequency, and nutritional value of the refed state. Notwithstanding this, organisms mount efficient and reproducible responses to restore metabolic homeostasis. Hence, it is intuitive to invoke expectant molecular mechanisms that build anticipatory responses to enable physiological toggling during fed-fast cycles. In this regard, we report anticipatory biogenesis of oscillatory hepatic microRNAs that peak during a fed state and inhibit starvation-responsive genes. Our results clearly demonstrate that the levels of primary and precursor microRNA transcripts increase during a fasting state, in anticipation of a fed response. We delineate the importance of both metabolic and circadian cues in orchestrating hepatic fed microRNA homeostasis in a physiological setting. Besides illustrating metabo-endocrine control, our findings provide a mechanistic basis for the overarching influence of starvation on anticipatory biogenesis. Importantly, by using pharmacological agents that are widely used in clinics, we point out the high potential of interventions to restore homeostasis of hepatic microRNAs, whose deregulated expression is otherwise well established to cause metabolic diseases.
Short Selling and Bank Deposit Flows
Authors: Carey Mark S. , Healy Christopher
Published: February 2024

Some observers have argued that the short selling of bank stock contributes to bank runs and bank failures. Previously, no evidence has been available. We find no evidence that more short selling of bank stock is associated with materially larger outflows of bank deposits. We believe this means that proposals to restrict the short selling of bank stock should be supported by other arguments.

Human Capital Formation and Territorial Governance at the Heart of Building a Skill's Local Economy: The Exemplarity of Corsica
Authors: Storai Christophe
Published: February 2024

In Corsica, the island economy is characterized by the absence of large multinational groups that direct and shape the global economy. Nor is there any mention of the existence of medium-sized enterprises, which in many other regions, like the Third Italy, constitute the spearhead of a dynamic economy. The Corsican economic fabric consists mainly of very small businesses, small farmers and producers, artisans, and traders. Given the hypertrophy of the public sector, private companies seem to be the only option likely to trigger a dynamic of territorial development. The latter necessarily involves the development of strategies for the formation of human capital and a technological research process whose objective is to increase the level of skills, responding to the immanent needs of the island territory. In this perspective, the mode of territorial governance prefigures a model of economic development to be favored.

The aim of this study was to describe the specific features of dental agenesis in Malagasy people. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in two private orthodontic clinics in the city of Antananarivo, Madagascar. A total of 72 panoramic radiographs of patients aged more than 7 years old and undergoing orthodontic treatment between January 2008 and September 2022 were examined. Dental agenesis was declared in the absence of crown mineralization on the radiograph. Wisdom teeth agenesis was not considered in this study. Data were collected, coded, processed, and analyzed using SPSS 20.0 software. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. A significant predominance of females (72.2% vs. 27.8%) was observed among subjects with tooth agenesis (p < 0.000). The mandible was the most affected arch (57%). The mandibular lateral incisor (83%) was the most frequently absent tooth, followed by the maxillary lateral incisor (69.3%) and the mandibular second premolar (12.2%). Dental position anomalies associated with agenesis included impacted tooth (41.7%) and tooth transposition (4.2%). The general characteristics of tooth agenesis in our study population did not show any major differences compared to previous researches in other countries. However, a difference linked to ethnic origin was observed regarding the type of tooth most frequently affected by agenesis.

Im Fokus dieses Beitrags steht die Frage, wie Geflüchtete traumatisierende Erfahrungen artikulieren und ggf. religiös adressieren. Dahinter steht die Annahme, dass es im Vorfeld oder im Verlauf der Flucht zu Traumatisierungen kommen kann, die im Aufnahmeland gedeutet und verarbeitet werden müssen. Auf der Basis von Interviews mit Geflüchteten, die teilweise auch von religiöser Verfolgung betroffen waren, werden die vielfältigen Erscheinungsformen solcher Traumata sowie verschiedene Coping-Strategien analysiert. Dabei zeigt sich, dass traumatische Erfahrungen auch im Kontext von Ankunft und Aufnahme auftreten und der meritokratische Diskurs über Migration als volkswirtschaftliche Ressource für Geflüchtete eine implizite Norm des Vergessens und Verdrängens etabliert, um sich möglichst rasch in die gesellschaftlichen Funktionssysteme eingliedern zu können. Religion kommt in diesem Zusammenhang sowohl als Teil der Lösung als auch als Teil des Problems in den Blick.
Antiziganistische Gewalt gegen Jenische
Authors: Hagen Carla
Published: February 2024

Die Jenischen waren in der Schweiz im 20. Jahrhundert antiziganistischer Diskriminierung ausgesetzt, die auch von kirchlichen Akteur:innen ausging. Durch Kindswegnahmen und die religiöse Erziehung in katholischen Institutionen gedachte man, aus den ›sittlich verwahrlosten‹ Jenischen ›korrekte‹ Menschen zu machen. Diese gewaltsamen Ereignisse wirken unter Jenischen als kollektives Trauma und prägen als solches den religiösen Identitätsbildungsprozess. Der auf einer qualitativen religionswissenschaftlichen Studie basierende Aufsatz zeigt drei mögliche Arten, das Trauma zu erinnern und die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen zu überwinden.
Nach der Gewalt
Authors: Käsehage Nina
Published: February 2024

Der Beitrag basiert auf einer qualitativen Studie mit deutschen Kindern und Jugendlichen, die mit ihren Müttern zum ›Islamischen Staat‹ (IS) ausreisten, vor Ort ideologisch sozialisiert wurden und schließlich wieder nach Deutschland zurückkehrten (Käsehage, 2023). Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf den religiös motivierten Erziehungsvorschriften sowie psychischen und physischen Gewalt(-erfahrungen), denen die jungen Befragten ungeschützt beim IS ausgesetzt waren. Mit Blick auf ihre Rückkehr nach Deutschland und das dortige ›Ankommen‹ wird diskutiert, ob dieser Gruppe die Bewältigung der erfahrenen Traumata gelingt und in welchem Ausmaß sie hierfür strukturelle, psychologische oder familiäre Unterstützung erhält. Da es sich beim vorliegenden Phänomen um ein neues Forschungsfeld handelt, liegt der Fokus des Beitrags auf der Verdeutlichung des heterogenen Copings der jungen Rückkehrer:innen, auf dessen Basis Handlungsempfehlungen zum Umgang mit dieser Gruppe formuliert werden.
О ТЕРМИНЕ «ЗАКОН ЭКСПОНЕНТЫ В ПОЛОЖИТЕЛЬНОЙ ЭКСПОНЕНТЕ», КОТОРЫЙ ВВЕДЕН В НАУЧНУЮ ЛИТЕРАТУРУ ДЛЯ ОБЪЯСНЕНИЯ ОСОБЕННОСТЕЙ ПРОТЕКАНИЯ РАЗВЕТВЛЕННЫХ ХИМИЧЕСКИХ РЕАКЦИЙ В ГАЗОВЫХ СМЕСЯХ

Термин «закон экспоненты в положительной экспоненте» был введен и многократно использовался В. В. Азатяном в его публикациях для объяснения особенностей протекания разветвленных цепных реакций в газовых смесях. Математической основой закона служит формула для скорости потребления кислорода, которая была получена частичным интегрированием упрощенной схемы кинетических уравнений, записанной по методу квазистационарных концентраций для смесей водород + кислород. Экспрессивный вид формулы, которую при некоторых допущениях можно записать в виде экспоненты в экспоненте, рассматривался в работах В. В. Азатяна как проявление особо сильной температурной зависимости скорости цепных газовых реакций. Однако в данной статье показано, что сама по себе формула позволяет анализировать лишь изотермический случай, когда можно в явном виде взять входящий в нее интеграл по времени. Чтобы рассмотреть температурную зависимость скорости превращения, нужна дополнительная информация в виде производной температуры по времени. В качестве такой информации в статье использованы результаты расчетов по самовоспламенению в адиабатическом реакторе стехиометрической смеси водород + воздух с детальным кинетическим механизмом. Показано, что результаты кинетических расчетов температурной зависимости скорости потребления кислорода при самовоспламенении не совпадают с оценками, сделанными с помощью формулы, предложенной В. В. Азатяном. Дано объяснение причин расхождения. В целом, расчеты не подтверждают существование «закона экспоненты в положительной экспоненте». В научной и учебной литературе этим термином следует пользоваться с осторожностью.
РАСПРОСТРАНЕНИЕ ПЛАМЕНИ И ПЕРЕХОД ГОРЕНИЯ В ДЕТОНАЦИЮ В ПОЛУОГРАНИЧЕННОЙ ПЛОСКОЙ ЩЕЛЕВОЙ КАМЕРЕ СГОРАНИЯС РАЗДЕЛЬНОЙ ПОДАЧЕЙ ЭТИЛЕНА И КИСЛОРОДА

Непрерывно-детонационные двигатели (НДД) считаются перспективными двигателями для аэрокосмических приложений. Инициирование детонации в НДД может сопровождаться разрушительным взрывом избыточного объема топливной смеси в камере сгорания. Для исключения этого явления требуется «мягкое», а не «сильное» инициирование детонации. Для мягкого инициирования детонации в НДД необходимо воспламенить смесь определенного минимального объема, достаточного для перехода горения в детонацию (ПГД). В данной работе экспериментально получены критические условия инициирования детонации через ПГД в полуограниченной щелевой камере сгорания, моделирующей камеру сгорания НДД с раздельной подачей этилена и кислорода, разбавленных азотом (от 0 до 40 %(об.)) при коэффициенте избытка горючего в образующейся смеси от 0,3 до 2,3. Оказалось, что для мягкого инициирования детонации необходимо воспламенить смесь по достижении критической (минимальной) высоты слоя горючей смеси. Так, для мягкого инициирования детонации в неразбавленной смеси C2 H4 ++ 3O2 , заполняющей такую щелевую камеру сгорания, высота слоя смеси должна превышать ширину щели примерно в 12 раз. Если использовать поперечный размер детонационной ячейки λ , то минимальная высота слоя такой смеси в экспериментах составила ∼ 150 λ . По сравнению с экспериментами с предварительно подготовленной горючей смесью критическая высота слоя оказалась на 20% больше, что объясняется конечной скоростью смесеобразования. С увеличением степени разбавления кислорода азотом критическая высота слоя увеличивается, а роль конечной скорости смесеобразования снижается: результаты перестают зависеть от способа формирования горючей смеси.

Учредители: Некоммерческое партнерство по научной, образовательной и инновационной деятельности "Центр импульсно-детонационного горения" В работе нашли свое отражение результаты новых экспериментальных исследований механизма распространения горения нанотермитов (НТ) Al/CuO в замкнутых оболочках (трубках) из кварцевого стекла с использованием пористых инертных преград и передачи горения через них. Для улучшения пространственного разрешения в этих экспериментах наряду с цветной видеокамерой Phantom Miro LC310 производства Vision Research Corp. (США) была использована черно-белая камера японского производства Photron Fastcam SA-Z 2100K с повышенной (в видимом спектральном диапазоне) чувствительностью и возможностью осуществлять видеорегистрацию со скоростью до 1 млн кадр/с при фиксированной экспозиции кадра ∼ 158 нс. В экспериментах в качестве инертных преград использовались вискоза, полые стеклянные микросферы, порошок хлорида натрия и кварцевый песок. При прохождении преград из вискозы и микросфер (до 40 мм) происходило инициирование состава, расположенного за преградой, при этом скорость распространения светящегося фронта (которую мы связываем со скоростью горения в НТ) снижалась, однако после выхода из преграды в НТ - восстанавливалась до исходной величины. Преграды из порошков соли и кварцевого песка (размер фракции ∼ 80 мкм) аналогичной длины останавливали дальнейшее распространение реакции горения (РРГ). Исследование процесса РРГ через преграды позволило уточнить разрабатываемую модель горения пористых НТ.

Although the tourism sector has witnessed a gradual recovery during the last years from the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is still too soon to discuss about a full recovery, as territories have responded and adapted in diverse manners to the shock. As such, it is important to investigate the impact of the pandemic in different moments and at different geographical scales, in order to identify and understand the contrasts between territories of same countries. In light of these facts, the purpose of the current paper is to assess the evolution and the spatial patterns of tourism demand in Romania under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for the period of time 2020-2023. The focus is on identifying the differences between regions and destinations in terms of initial impact of the pandemic and of their path to recovery to pre-pandemic levels of tourist arrivals.
