Authors: Toma Iulia , Amaricai Elena , Onofrei Roxana Ramona , Popean Mihai
Published: September 2022

The study of the consequences of different sonata styles (baroque, classical and romantic piano repertoire) on pianists’ upper limbs represents a research topic for both the musical and medical fields. Twenty piano students were examined using a MicroFet2 dynamometer after playing three sonatas (Scarlatti K. 1 Sonata as a representative of the baroque style, Haydn Sonata no. 60 for the classical style and Chopin second Sonata for the romantic style). The phase sequence was randomised for each subject: firstly, continuous interpretation of 10 bars of a sonata was conducted 10 times, with the metronome tempo set by the investigator; secondly, the subject interpreted 10 bars of a different sonata continuously, standardised by tempo, which was carried out 10 times; finally, the continuous interpretation of 10 bars of the remaining third sonata, standardised by tempo, was carried out 10 times. After each performance of the 10 bars, the elbow extensor’s isometric muscle force was measured. Significant differences were found between the elbow extensor’s isometric muscle force assessed after playing Scarlatti’s sonata and Haydn’s sonata (p = 0.005 for left arm, p = 0.03 for right arm), between Scarlatti’s sonata and Chopin’s sonata (p < 0.0001 for both left and right arms) and between Haydn’s sonata and Chopin’s sonata (p = 0.01 for left arm, p < 0.0001 for right arm). In healthy piano students, the dynamometric assessment of elbow extensors’ isometric muscle force after playing three different sonatas (baroque, classical and romantic) showed that the lowest values were recorded after playing the baroque style. Our results showed bilateral symmetry in the elbow extensor’s isometric muscle force for all three piano styles. The testing of arm muscles, besides that of the fingers, should be considered as a regular evaluation for future professional pianists with regard to the prevention of musculoskeletal complaints.

Published: September 2022

Tunnels and foundation pits are two separate types of excavation that are frequently used in urban settings. Excavating tunnels and foundation pits sequentially around existing pile foundations is becoming more and more prevalent as urban underground space utilization rates increase. The deformation and load transfer mechanisms of the pile group foundation under two asymmetric excavation conditions of “first tunnel, then foundation pit” and “first foundation pit, then tunnel” are studied from the perspective of the relative positions of the tunnel–pile–foundation pit based on the constant gravity model test and 3D numerical simulation. The result shows: The pile settlement of the front pile (closer to the tunnel) caused by the excavation condition of the “first foundation pit-then tunnel” is relatively larger, while the pile settlement of the rear pile (closer to the foundation pit) caused by the excavation condition of “first tunnel-then pit” is larger. The transverse tilting of the pile group caused by the excavation of the “first foundation pit-then tunnel” is relatively larger. For the front pile, the pile tip resistance generated by “first excavation-then tunnel” is about 10% greater than it was before the initial excavation, which is greater than the result of “first tunnel-then foundation pit”. For the rear pile, the pile tip resistance generated by “first excavation-then tunnel” is about 85% greater than it was before the initial excavation, which is smaller than the result of “first tunnel-then foundation pit”. The multiple excavation sequence of “tunnel first-then foundation pit” leads to a larger induced bending moment for the front pile, whereas a larger induced bending moment for the rear pile results from the multiple excavation sequence “first foundation pit-then tunnel”.
An Empirical Study of ClassPoint Tool Application in Enhancing EFL Students’ Online Learning Satisfaction
Authors: Abdelrady Abbas Hussein , Akram Huma
Published: September 2022

Keeping in view the basic necessity of the time, integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching-learning practices has become an integral part of higher education. In relation to English as a foreign language (EFL) learning, several forms of interactive platform have been applied to enhance students’ engagement, interest and learning satisfaction. Likewise, this quasi-experimental study was designed to investigate the role of ClassPoint tool integrated activities in strengthening e-learning satisfaction of undergraduate female EFL learners in Saudi Arabia. The intervention, i.e., the ClassPoint tool-integrated instruction for the experimental group, lasted for around a month, whereas the students from the controlled group received non-ClassPoint integrated instructions. Subsequently, the data from both groups was analyzed statistically via a t-test. Based on the analysis, the use of ClassPoint tool activities showed a significant increase in the e-learning satisfaction enrichment of EFL learners compared to the non-ClassPoint traditional instruction. Therefore, the study suggests using the ClassPoint tool at all educational levels in all modes of learning to keep learners stay engaged, motivated, and satisfied with their learning.
The Origin of Teratogenic Retinoids in Cyanobacteria

Published: September 2022

Although information about the occurrence and distribution of retinoids in the environment is scarce, cyanobacterial water blooms have been identified as a significant source of these small molecules. Despite the confirmed presence of retinoids in the freshwater blooms dominated by cyanobacteria and their described teratogenic effects, reliable identification of retinoid producers and the mechanism of their biosynthesis is missing. In this study, the cultures of several taxonomically diverse species of axenic cyanobacteria were confirmed as significant producers of retinoid-like compounds. The consequent bioinformatic analysis suggested that the enzymatic background required for the biosynthesis of all-trans retinoic acid from retinal is not present across phylum Cyanobacteria. However, we demonstrated that retinal conversion into other retinoids can be mediated non-enzymatically by free radical oxidation, which leads to the production of retinoids widely detected in cyanobacteria and environmental water blooms, such as all-trans retinoic acid or all-trans 5,6epoxy retinoic acid. Importantly, the production of these metabolites by cyanobacteria in association with the mass development of water blooms can lead to adverse impacts in aquatic ecosystems regarding the described teratogenicity of retinoids. Moreover, our finding that retinal can be non-enzymatically converted into more bioactive retinoids, also in water, and out of the cells, increases the environmental significance of this process.
Role of PARP-1 in Human Cytomegalovirus Infection and Functional Partners Encoded by This Virus
Authors: Zhang Wenchang , Guo Jing , Chen Qiang
Published: September 2022

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous pathogen that threats the majority of the world’s population. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) and protein poly (ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) regulates manifold cellular functions. The role of PARP-1 and protein PARylation in HCMV infection is still unknown. In the present study, we found that the pharmacological and genetic inhibition of PARP-1 attenuated HCMV replication, and PARG inhibition favors HCMV replication. PARP-1 and its enzymatic activity were required for efficient HCMV replication. HCMV infection triggered the activation of PARP-1 and induced the translocation of PARP-1 from nucleus to cytoplasm. PARG was upregulated in HCMV-infected cells and this upregulation was independent of viral DNA replication. Moreover, we found that HCMV UL76, a true late protein of HCMV, inhibited the overactivation of PARP-1 through direct binding to the BRCT domain of PARP-1. In addition, UL76 also physically interacted with poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymers through the RG/RGG motifs of UL76 which mediates its recruitment to DNA damage sites. Finally, PARP-1 inhibition or depletion potentiated HCMV-triggered induction of type I interferons. Our results uncovered the critical role of PARP-1 and PARP-1-mediated protein PARylation in HCMV replication.

Published: September 2022

Background: Patients with cancer show greater susceptibility and vulnerability to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. However, data on the vaccination status among patients with breast cancer and any structured analysis of the factors influencing patients’ decisions regarding vaccines are lacking. Methods: This cross-sectional study on patients with breast cancer in China was conducted from 1 June 2022, to 17 June 2022. Every participant completed an online questionnaire about their vaccination status and any adverse reactions, and a scale based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) to assess the vaccination status of respondents and their willingness to receive following doses or boosters. Results: Among the 1132 participants, 55.2% had received a COVID-19 vaccine. The incidence of adverse events per dose was around 40%. Vaccine hesitancy of 61.9% was observed among patients who had not fully received three doses of vaccine or boosters. The only variable found to be associated with vaccine hesitancy was time since diagnosis (p < 0.05). In the HBM scale, vaccine hesitancy was closely related to a low level of perceived susceptibility, a low level of perceived benefit, a high level of perceived barriers and a low level of agreement with doctors’ advice. Conclusions: For patients with breast cancer, perceived susceptibility, benefits and barriers should be prioritized, and the advice from authoritative doctors is a vital cue to action.
Experience of COVID-19 Vaccination among Primary Healthcare Workers in Hong Kong: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Ng Kai Man , Chu Tsun Kit , Lau Phyllis
Published: September 2022

Studies show that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine hesitancy exists among healthcare workers (HCWs). Past personal experiences of vaccination, such as the seasonal influenza vaccination, influence individuals’ intention to receive future vaccinations. This study aimed to explore the experience of COVID-19 vaccination among primary care HCWs in Hong Kong. A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was conducted. Twenty-eight HCWs (ten doctors, ten nurses, and eight supporting staff) working in nine government-funded primary care clinics in Hong Kong who had completed at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccination were interviewed. Four themes were generated, namely, the cognitive and emotional battle of vaccine hesitancy, catalysts for vaccine acceptance, blasting vaccination myths, and being a positive influence. Providing timely, adequate, and transparent vaccine information and addressing the specific concerns of HCWs about the COVID-19 vaccine could enhance their vaccination uptake in future. Specific vaccine promotion strategies, such as the sharing of vaccination experiences targeted at different subgroups of HCWs, may improve vaccine acceptance through informational social influence.
Economic Risk Potential of Infrastructure Failure Considering In-Land Waterways
Authors: Wehrle Rebecca , Wiens Marcus , Neff Fabian , Schultmann Frank
Published: September 2022

Purpose—Unreliable transport infrastructure can cause negative externalities for industries. In this article, we analyze how the private sector is affected by infrastructure failure of public transport infrastructure, using waterways as an example. Methodology—To investigate the affectedness of riparian industries, we chose two complementary parallel approaches: A proximity analysis via GIS, and a concluding survey among the identified waterway-dependent industries. An exemplary application is validated by stakeholders. Findings—We identify a predominance of location preferences in dependence on waterways for mining, chemical, and metal industries. Their risk tolerance exhibits potentially severe impacts on industries if reliable transport cannot be ensured via waterways, as our paper provides essential insights into the relationship between infrastructure failure and company decisions. Most importantly, we reveal that a lack of alternatives due to missing capacities of other transport modes causes realistic threats to business locations. Practical implications—include that a regional focus is crucial for the empirical risk assessment of transport infrastructure. Hence, the data collection should relate to the regional focus groups, particularly the directly affected industries. In addition, infrastructure maintenance should integrate a risk focus and consider the short and long-run impacts on industries.

Published: September 2022

The proactive sustainable management of scarce water across vulnerable agricultural areas of South Europe is a timely issue of major importance, especially under the recent challenges affecting complex water systems. The Basin District of Thessaly, Greece’s driest rural region, has a long history of multiple issues of an environmental, planning, economic or administrative nature, as well as a history of conflict. For the first time, the region’s key-stakeholders, including scientists and policymakers, participated in tactical meetings during the 19-month project “Water For Tomorrow”. The goal was to establish a common and holistic understanding of the problems, assess the lessons learned from the failures of the past and co-develop a list of policy recommendations, placing them in the broader context of sustainability. These refer to enhanced and transparent information, data, accountability, cooperation/communication among authorities and stakeholders, capacity building, new technologies and modernization of current practices, reasonable demand and supply management, flexible renewable energy portfolios and circular approaches, among others. This work has significant implications for the integrated water resources management of similar south-European cases, including the Third-Cycle of the River Basin Management Plans and the International Sustainability Agendas.

Authors: Pereira Olegário Nelson Azevedo , Bastos Maria Rosário , Ferreira José Carlos , Dias João Alveirinho
Published: September 2022

This article explores the development of human occupation and the anthropogenic impacts at Costa da Caparica, a Portuguese coastal town that faces several challenges concerning coastal erosion processes. A historical long-term analysis was made, mainly through medieval and modern writing sources, crossing such textual data with geology, geography, and other related scientific disciplines studies regarding the coastal erosion problems of the study area. Therefore, from the Middle Ages to the present, human actions concerning this area were examined. The sea was first seen as an income, due to tourism, and later seen as a danger. It is argued that human behaviors were the main cause of historical problems and also the present vulnerabilities and risks associated with this coastal stretch of the Portuguese littoral. We must search the past for answers to understand present problems and think about the future. This is the main purpose of this paper: to contribute to a better knowledge concerning coastal sustainability based on the results of past human actions, as a way to avoid such mistakes in the future.

Cretaceous Stratigraphy of the Coalville and Rockport Areas, Utah
Authors: Ryer Thomas A.
Published: September 2022

Cretaceous strata exposed in the Coalville and Rockport areas record the deposition and accumulation of terrigenous clastic sediments in alluvial-fan, fluvial, marginal-marine, and nearshore and offshore-marine environments. Marine sediments were deposited in the Coalville and Rockport areas during the Aspen-Mowry, Greenhorn, and Niobrara marine invasions of north-central Utah. Biostratigraphic control in the upper part of the Frontier Formation in the Coalville area is adequate, and the age of this part of the section has been accurately recognized in recent studies. Determining the age of the Aspen Shale and the lower part of the Frontier Formation and, more specifically, the position of the Lower Cretaceous-Upper Cretaceous boundary in north-central Utah has been severely hampered by the paucity of open-marine taxa in the deposits of the Aspen-Mowry marine invasion. Evidence presented here indicates that the Lower Cretaceous Upper Cretaceous boundary should be placed near the middle of the nonmarine Chalk Creek Member of the Frontier Formation, 400 to 500 meters higher than has been suggested previously

COVID-19 Learning Loss and Recovery: Panel Data Evidence from India
Authors: Singh Abhijeet , Romero Mauricio , Muralidharan Karthik
Published: September 2022

We use a near-representative household panel survey of ∼19,000 primary-school-aged children in rural Tamil Nadu to study the extent of ‘learning loss’ after COVID-19 school closures, the pace of recovery in the months after schools reopened, and the role of a flagship compensatory intervention introduced by the state government. Students tested in December 2021, after 18 months of school closures, displayed severe deficits in learning of about 0.7 standard deviations (σ) in math and 0.34σ in language compared to identically-aged students in the same villages in 2019. Using multiple rounds of in-person testing, we find that two-thirds of this deficit was made up in the 6 months after school reopening. Using value-added models, we attribute ∼24% of the cohort-level recovery to a government-run after-school remediation program which improved test scores for attendees by 0.17σ in math and 0.09σ in Tamil after 3-4 months. Further, while learning loss was regressive, the recovery was progressive, likely reflecting (in part) the greater take up of the remediation program by more socioeconomically disadvantaged students. These positive results from a state-wide program delivered at scale by the government may provide a useful template for both recovery from COVID-19 learning losses, and bridging learning gaps more generally in low-and-middle-income countries.

Published: September 2022

We report on a widely-tunable mid-infrared picosecond optical vortex laser source that employs a synchronously-pumped optical parametric oscillator optimized for mid-infrared emission up to 5 μm. Vortex output with a continuously-tunable wavelength range of 2.6–5 μm could be obtained simply by translating the MgO:PPLN crystal. At the maximum pump power of 15 W, the maximum idler output powers were measured as 3.7, 1.7, and 0.165 W at the wavelengths of 2.6, 3.8, and 5 μm, respectively. The corresponding photon conversion efficiencies were estimated to be 60% at 2.6 μm, 40% at 3.8 μm, and 5.2% at 5 μm.

Published: September 2022

Klasifikasi teks dapat diterapkan dengan pemrosesan bahasa alami. Namun, salah satu masalah yang ditemukan pada klasifikasi teks adalah kalimat sarkasme. Sarkasme mampu mengubah makna suatu kalimat menjadi kebalikannya. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, peneliti mengusulkan kombinasi word embedding Fasttext dengan model Deep Learning yaitu Bi-LSTM pada kasus deteksi sarkasme pada tweet. Fasttext merepresentasi kata dengan memanfaatkan sub-word, sehingga mampu memperoleh informasi dari sebuah kata yang belum pernah ditemukan dan mampu memahami kata yang berimbuhan. Sedangkan Bi-LSTM dapat mempelajari semantik kata yang berpengaruh dalam mengklasifikasikan tweet. Eksperimen penelitian dilakukan terhadap penggunaan hyperparameter Fasttext yaitu vector size, window, minimal number of word occurrences, epochs, dan word2vec model architecture. Berdasarkan hasil eksperimen yang dilakukan hyperparameter Fasttext memiliki pengaruh yang berbeda, dimana terjadi peningkatan dan penurunan nilai hasil evaluasi. Peningkatan hasil evaluasi lebih tampak pada penggunaan epochs pada nilai 100 dan penggunaan arsitektur CBOW.

Geopark is an area that has geological elements in which local people are invited to participate to protect and improve the function of the natural and cultural heritage in it. Kasepuhan Sinar Resmi is part of the cultural aspect that is inseparable from the Ciletuh Geopark which is still being preserved. The village always gets lots of visitors who want to know the original Sundanese culture, because the Kasepuhan Sinar Resmi Community still carries out the traditions of their ancestors. Nevertheless, the Kasepuhan Sinar Resmi Community does not close itself off from developments from the outside such as the use of technology in the village. The crafts of the local community have also started to be sold online and have good packaging. However, several problems have arisen, with the large number of tourists visiting the Kasepuhan Sinar Resmi making it often difficult for local traditional leaders to deal with them. In addition, selling products online is often used as a crime by some people who fake authentic products made by Kasepuhan Sinar Resmi. Another problem is that there is no real-time information management that is distributed globally to inform the activities being held and what facilities are available at Kasepuhan Sinar Resmi. This problem can be anticipated with a Web-Based Information System to be able to accommodate the needs of tourists as a Digital Information Source which can also be managed by the Kasepuhan Sinar Resmi community for Reservation services and online Product Marketing Media.
