Mixología: un viaje léxico-semiótico de los cocteles
Authors: Blanco Correa Oscar Elías , Figueroa Daniel Alejandro
Published: November 2024

El léxico que posee un grupo de hablantes les permite comunicarse, relacionarse y establecer vínculos que van desde lo afectivo hasta lo profesional, a través de un proceso dinámico en el que se emplean las lexías para representar su día a día. Estas perspectivas han motivado la investigación “Mixología: un viaje léxico-semiótico de los cocteles”. Este estudio exploratorio-descriptivo ha tenido como objetivo describir las unidades léxicas que se emplean en mixología en el contexto de los bares y restaurantes y que han permitido la confección de un inventario de palabras usadas por los expertos de esta área. En la investigación se ha empleado una encuesta en formato online dividida en dos partes. La primera ha contemplado los datos demográficos y la segunda los datos léxicos con tres preguntas abiertas. A través de la encuesta se ha podido saber que los sujetos participantes, 19 en total, se encuentran distribuidos en diez países diferentes. Los métodos de análisis utilizados han sido los presupuestos semióticos, el análisis sémico, la estructuración de repertorios lexicográficos y la contrastividad procedentes de la lexicografía. Las conclusiones han reflejado que las lexías describen y dan cuenta del quehacer y proceder mixológico se agrupan en tres bloques: disciplina, arte y método. Esto sugiere que la mixología de acuerdo con las unidades léxicas empleadas es concebida como un área o estudio que otorga carácter científico y que supone rigurosidad. Una prueba de ello es la confección de un inventario de palabras bajo los preceptos lexicográficos y semióticos.

Published: November 2024

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os desafios enfrentados pelas marisqueiras da comunidade Vergel do Lago/Município de Maceió/AL na comprovação da qualidade de segurada especial perante o Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social e o Sistema Judiciário Federal, na concessão dos Benefícios Previdenciários Rurais. A proposta desta pesquisa, justifica-se através da necessidade de demonstrar a aplicabilidade do princípio constitucional da dignidade da pessoa humana para as trabalhadoras rurais, assegurando assim um padrão de vida adequado na circunstância de não conseguir exercer o labor rurícola em razão de incapacidade temporária ou permanente, período gestacional, morte da provedora da família e até mesmo à idade avançada. A metodologia do trabalho fez uso de uma abordagem qualitativa, adotando o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC) para análise das entrevistas, onde foi possível identificar as maiores dificuldades da questão probatória da atividade rural das marisqueiras. Dentre os resultados encontrados, destaca-se que, o Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social (INSS) precisa adotar um sistema de simples manuseio e compreensão por parte dos segurados, bem como o Programa de Educação Previdenciário seja mais efetivo nas zonas rurais a fim de que o conhecimento e a informação alcancem a todos. Constata se, também, a importância de os magistrados conhecer a realidade in loco em que as marisqueiras desempenham suas atividades a fim de compreender as suas barreiras e limitações no sentido das dificuldades da exploração da atividade econômica do sururu e do acesso aos documentos probantes.

Investigation of the Effect of Adaptation Rate Variable on a Laboratory Helicopter Using Adaptive Controller Design
Authors: Kocagil Bedrettin Mahmut , Çopur Engin Hasan , Salamci Metin U.
Published: November 2024

Model Referans Adaptif Kontrolcüler (MRAK), modellenememiş dinamiklere ya da parametre belirsizliklerine sahip sistemler için uygun ve kullanımına sıkça başvurulan kontrolcü tasarımlarıdır. MRAK tasarımlarında en önemli husus, seçilen bir referans sistem ile kontrol edilmek istenen sistem arasındaki hata değerinin sıfırlanması ya da makul bir değere düşmesidir. Hata değeri kontrolcü tarafından zaman ilerledikçe azaltılsa da, referans sistemin her zaman aralığında olabildiğince düzgün takip edilmesi de istenir. Bu sebeple, adaptasyon kuralı oluşturulurken, referans model cevabına yakınsama hızı da uygulamacılar açısından önem taşır. Yakınsama hızı da doğrudan adaptasyon hızı ile ilişkilidir. Konvansiyonel adaptasyon kuralı tasarımları, adaptasyon hızı çok büyük değerlere sahip olmadığı sürece takip hata değişimlerinin büyük ve/veya hızlı olması durumlarıyla yeterli ölçüde başa çıkamayabilir. Bazı durumlarda kontrol edilmek istenen sistemin dinamiği ile ilgili apriori bilgiler gerekebilir, bu bilgilerin olmadığı durumlarda adaptasyon hızının çok büyük değerlerde olması dahi adaptasyonda başarı sağlamayabilir. Ayrıca, sistem dinamiğinin ilgili referans model dinamiği ile uyumu da adaptasyonda başarı ve daha iyi takip ihtimalini güçlendirebilir. Bu amaçla çalışma kapsamındaki referans model, klasik yöntemlerin aksine, kontrol edilmek istenen fiziksel sistemin doğasına çok daha uygun gelen doğrusal olmayan matematiğe sahip bir sistem olarak ele alınmıştır. Bu araştırmanın konusu, adaptasyon kuralında önemli rol oynayan adaptasyon hızı değişkeninin, doğrusal olmayan bir referans sistemi tasarlanarak elde edilmiş MRAK’ye sahip fiziksel bir sistem üzerindeki etkinliğinin irdelenmesidir. Bu irdeleme, önerilen MRAK tasarımının özelinde, üç serbestlik dereceli bir helikopter sisteminin benzetimi yapılarak sonuçların kıyaslanması şeklinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kıyaslamalar, helikopterin konum kontrolleri sağlanan iki eksen üzerinden yapılmıştır. Test edilen her bir MRAK, adaptasyon hızı haricindeki değişkenler farklılaştırılmadan ele alınmış ve değişen adaptasyon kurallarıyla, referans sistem takiplerinin ne ölçüde yapılabildiği incelenmiştir.
The activity of the cardiovascular system of women during the performance of special running exercises: pilot study
Authors: Nemtsev O. B. , Martynova M. N.
Published: November 2024

Relevance. Currently, there is no knowledge of what kind of stress the cardiovascular system is subjected to during special running exercises (SBU), how prolonged running exercises affect the heart rate (HR). So, it remains unexplored: what is the average heart rate (HRSsr) characteristic of the SBU, what maximum values it can reach during the performance of a particular running exercise, which does not allow them to be used reasonably to achieve certain goals in the process of physical training.The purpose of this study was to study the functioning of the cardiovascular system of women during special running exercises.Methods and organization of research. To achieve this goal, an experiment was conducted in which 6 women participated. Before the test procedure, the subjects performed a workout that included a fiveminute slow run and flexibility exercises. Then, the subjects in cross-country shoes performed the following complex of running and running exercises: slow running, running with a whip of the shin, running on straight legs, running with a high knee lift, rolling from toe to toe, mincing running, jumping, fast running, the length of the distance at which they performedThere was a run and the SBU was 100 meters. Polar heart rate monitors and chest heart rate sensors H9 were used to determine heart rate indicators.Conclusions. The results of the experiment showed that most of the exercises aimed at developing speed and strength abilities turned out to be more stressful compared to exercises aimed at developing endurance. Thus, using special basic exercises in the process of physical training in order to develop physical qualities, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the activity of the cardiovascular system during their performance, and depending on the level of preparedness of those involved, it is necessary to regulate the intensity of physical activity by changing various characteristics: the length of the distance of performance, the number of repetitions, rest intervals, or the pace of performing special running exercises.

Published: November 2024

Background: Attendance in educational settings such as schools is often accompanied by varying levels of anxiety for many students. One of the most significant types of anxiety in educational environments is exam anxiety. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of metacognitive therapy on social avoidance, distress, and academic persistence among students with exam anxiety in 2023. Methods: This quasi-experimental study utilized a pretest-posttest design to assess the efficacy of metacognitive therapy for female students with exam anxiety. All female second-grade high school students in Ahvaz city who reported experiencing exam anxiety during the 2022 - 2023 academic year were included in the study sample. A purposive sample of 36 female students was randomly divided into two groups: An experimental group receiving metacognitive therapy and a control group. The experimental group participated in seven 60-minute sessions of metacognitive therapy, conducted twice a week. The control group did not receive any intervention during the study period. The Social Avoidance and Distress Scale (SADS) and Academic Persistence Scale (APS) were administered to both groups before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance to control for baseline differences. Results: Metacognitive therapy was effective in reducing social avoidance and distress, as well as in improving academic persistence in high school students (P < 0.001). Specifically, the mean social avoidance and distress score decreased significantly from 19.67 ±1.68 to 10.11 ±2.13 in the metacognitive therapy group. Additionally, the mean academic persistence score increased significantly from 9.39 ±1.78 to 23.72 ±3.10 in the metacognitive therapy group. Conclusions: Metacognitive therapy effectively reduced social avoidance and distress while increasing academic persistence in female students with exam anxiety. This study highlights the therapy's potential as a valuable intervention for improving the overall well-being and academic performance of students facing similar challenges.

Authors: Mao Yulong , Cheng Ying , Hu Hongbo
Published: November 2024

Background: Respiratory infections are a common cause of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in pediatric patients. However, literature specifically addressing respiratory viruses that lead to SIRS or sepsis in children is limited, primarily consisting of case reports and lacking data for more comprehensive conclusions. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between respiratory viral infections and SIRS in children, focusing on virus detection rates, patient profiles, and the incidence of septic shock associated with different respiratory viruses. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted from January 2022 to December 2023 on hospitalized children diagnosed with respiratory infections and SIRS. Respiratory viruses were detected through qualitative PCR testing, and procalcitonin levels were measured using an enzyme-linked fluorescent immunoassay. Results: A total of 931 pediatric patients with SIRS were tested for respiratory viruses and/or other pathogens. Among these, 298 (32.0%) were positive for respiratory viruses, with 263 (28.2%) cases attributed solely to respiratory viruses. Human rhinovirus (HRV) had the highest infection rate at 37.3% (98/263), followed by human adenovirus (HAdV) at 24.3% (64/263). Seasonal distribution among the 263 SIRS cases associated with respiratory viral infections showed the highest incidence in spring (39.5%), followed by summer (25.5%), winter (17.9%), and autumn (17.1%). Septic shock rates were highest among cases of influenza A) FluA(, human metapneumovirus (hMP), and co-infections, with incidences of 27.8%, 18.2%, and 22.7%, respectively. There was significant variation in septic shock rates across different viral infections in pediatric patients (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Many hospitalized children with respiratory viral infections develop SIRS, and a subset of these cases can progress to septic shock.

Hegel on the Universals of Indexicals
Authors: Xiong Zhili ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: November 2024

Hegel’s theory of indexicality appears in the first chapter of the Phenomenology of Spirit, Sensuous-Certainty (SC). Current interpretations of the meaning of the universals that Hegel attributes to indexicals diverge from one another. Such interpretations can be divided into three groups: the universals as Fregean senses, as properties expressed by predicates in complex demonstratives, and as contrastive and recollective repeatability. I argue that all three exegeses face difficulties. Fregean senses, as referent-dependent modes of presentation, are particulars rather than universals. The interpretation that appeals to predicates in complex demonstratives confuses referential indeterminacy with context sensitivity. The view of universals as contrastive and recollective repeatability misses the point of Hegel’s relevant arguments regarding universals. I propose to understand the universal in question as an indexical expression type akin to David Kaplan’s character (linguistic rules for expression use). In SC, Hegel argues for an expression/reference distinction by appealing to the context sensitivity of indexicals.

Smart agriculture system creates an unprecedented power asymmetry suitable for agro-industrial production. In addition, it will bring to the producers the convenience when measured by the current use of the smart agriculture system. It is increasing the power of potential monopoly companies in the fields. It is useful for agricultural production as well as seeds, pesticides and fertilizers. It has been observed that it is difficult to protect producers or countries with low or limited economic resources in terms of food safety. It is also difficult to find answers that will both eliminate the concerns about the sustainability of traditional knowledge and lead to the destruction of local knowledge, genetic resources and biodiversity. In line with current globalization trends, it is taking shape.
Measurement of Health Services Vocational School Students’ Knowledge, Attitudes and Behaviors About Radon: Van Province Example
Authors: Erzen Yıldız Halime , Demir Canan , Kul Ali Rıza
Published: November 2024

Almost 50% of the natural radiation that is constantly present in our environment is caused by radon gas and its short-lived decay products. Radon (222Rn) is a gas and can become trapped in closed spaces and rise to dangerous levels. Because 222Rn is colorless, odorless and tasteless, it is impossible to detect without special equipment and may not be perceived as a health risk by the public due to these properties. It is important to investigate individual risk perception in order to prevent the negative health effects of radon. In this study, which aimed to determine the knowledge and awareness of students studying in Radiotherapy and Medical Imaging Programs regarding radon gas, a survey consisting of 15 questions was applied to the participants. According to the findings, 54.2% of the participants stated that they had heard of radon and 51.1% stated that radon was harmful. The rate of those who responded that school was their source of information was 33.3%, and most of them were 2nd grade students. The rate of those who did not know the causes of radon in residences was 47%. Although the proportion of those who think that radon testing should be done in homes is high (86.3%), there are many who do not know how to test (94%). The study showed that the level of knowledge about radon among the participants is not high enough. Considering the carcinogenic effect of radon, there is a need to create more awareness among the members of the society.

Authors: Fagundes Camila , Schreiber Dusan , Nunes Moema Pereira , Fernandes Maria Eduarda
Published: November 2024

Objective and Methodology: Many studies have been published since the creation of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to better understand this certification. Through a systematic review of the literature in 2022, this article aims to identify business entities motivations, benefits, and challenges of FSC certification. Through the definition of some inclusion criteria (Scientific Articles; Specific subject areas; FSC, or Forest Stewardship Council, appears in the title, abstract, and/or keywords; FSC means “Forest Stewardship Council”; FSC benefits and challenges), this study reviews a total of 74 publications from 2005 to 2022 from five different data bases (Scopus, Science Direct, Wiley Online Library; Springer Link; Web of Science). More than one author helped with the selection of papers to remove the risk of bias. Results: As main results, the motivations for deployments of the FSC certification are linked to economic issues as well as potential benefits. However, FSC still has several challenges to overcome, such as: high cost, lack of price premium, investment return, and financial dependency in the case of small producers. Social benefits and challenges were also mapped. Such results are directly linked to the type of methodology used in each paper. Originality: As a conclusion, many field studies still need to be developed due to the superiority of documentary research based on audit reports. Although this kind of document has several advantages, some disadvantages are also detected. This paper provides an overview of the FSC directing future research interested in the theme.

Left-handed behavior of Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 (at.%) nanocrystalline
ferromagnetic microwires arranged in parallel configurations as free-standing systems
in order to develop new metastructures for GHz shielding applications were studied.
Microwires with metallic diameters of 60 μm were obtained by cold-drawing process
followed by annealing at 500oC for 1 h. The left-handed behavior of the metastructures
was investigated in the frequency range 8.2 ÷ 12.4 GHz and confirmed by simulations
using the Nicolson-Ross-Weir analytical method. The variation of the interwire
distance proves to be a useful tool to obtain metastructures with suitable left-handed
characteristics for GHz applications.

Daily data of snow depth from 104 meteorological stations across
Romania were used to study the variability of snowpack for the period 1961-2010.
The weather stations are fairly distributed over Romania (both spatially and with respect
to elevation). Trend analysis was conducted with the Mann-Kendall nonparametric test,
while the magnitude of the linear trend was estimated with the Theil-Sen method.
The results show that the maximum snowpack duration is decreasing in the intra-
Carpathian region of Romania, showing a clear spatial pattern. The signal is consistent
and statistically significant. The influence of large-scale atmospheric circulation on
continuous maximum snowpack duration in Romania was investigated using several
teleconnection indices. We found statistically-significant negative correlations between
winter East Atlantic and North Atlantic Oscillation patterns and the maximum continuous

La presente revisión tiene como objetivo evaluar los efectos de la era digital en la salud y el bienestar en América Latina, durante los últimos diez años; se realizó una revisión de tipo narrativa mediante una búsqueda diferenciada de artículos publicados en los últimos cinco años sobre la era digital y su relación con la salud y el bienestar, con especial interés en la región latinoamericana. Se evidenció que los riesgos y perjuicios de la era digital, repercuten directamente en la salud de todos los usuarios, especialmente de los niños y jóvenes. Por otra parte, los avances tecnológicos de la era digital en el ámbito de salud tienen importancia en la evaluación del riesgo epidemiológico, en el diagnóstico de patologías y en la elección de la conducta terapéutica más apropiada. Se concluye que la salud y el bienestar en América Latina, es una de las áreas más influenciadas por los cambios generados en la era digital y que, en su mayoría, los avances tecnológicos, suponen ventajas para los procesos de atención de salud, sus actores y componentes. En América Latina existen limitaciones para la utilización más eficaz de la IA, en la salud y el bienestar social. Las más importantes son de carácter tecnológico y ético; no obstante, la articulación de actores constituye una oportunidad para la región, en el sentido de que los países de América Latina pueden avanzar hacia estrategias comunes.

Published: November 2024

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of two lactic acid bacteria strains (Lactobacillus plantarum, Oenococcus oeni) and a bentonite treatment on the content of aromatic compounds in wines of the autochthonous grape varieties Krstač and Žižak. Higher alcohols, medium-chain fatty acids (C6, C8, C10), esters and other volatile compounds were detected by GC/FID-MS analysis. The concentration of higher alcohols was lower in the wines from Krstač and Žižak in which malolactic fermentation was performed. The results of this study showed that the content of aromatic compounds depends on the lactic acid bacterial strains. L. plantarum yielded a higher content of total higher alcohols and esters compared to O.oeni. The content of total esters ranged from 30.28 to 32.70 mg/L for Krstač wines and from 19.35 to 23.21 mg/L for Žižak wines. O. oeni and L. plantarum had a statistically significant effect on the concentration of most esters. Lactic acid bacteria significantly reduced the content of ethyl butyrate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl decanoate and isoamyl acetate. Furthermore, the content of ethyl lactate, diethyl hydroxybutanedioate, diethyl succinate and ethyl hidrogen succinate was higher in wines produced with L. plantarum. The addition of bentonite in increasing concentrations did not affect the concentration of the higher alcohols in Žižak wines. The lowest content of fatty acids was detected in wines produced with 200 g/hL bentonite.
Systematic design of ADRC-based unmanned tracked vehicle trajectory tracking with FPGA-in-the-loop validation
Authors: Stanković Momir , Madonski Rafal , Manojlović Stojadin
Published: November 2024

Introduction/purpose: The trajectory tracking control problem in an unmanned tracked vehicle (UTV) represents a challenging task, due to unknown and unmeasurable slippage dynamics which inevitably exists during movement. Therefore, the application of standard industrial control schemes is often limited. Methods: In this paper, an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) scheme is proposed for the longitudinal (vehicle longitudinal velocity control) and lateral (vehicle course angle control) control channels of the UTV to collectively handle all the plant modeling uncertainties and acting slippage disturbances. Results: A step-by-step procedure for applying the ADRC algorithm for the specific case of UTV trajectory tracking is presented. It includes systematic design, discretization as well as performance analysis and validation utilizing FPGA-in-the-loop (FIL) simulations. Conclusions: The proposed FIL-based validation method reduces the gap between pure simulation design (which may be too idealized) and implementation on the real vehicle (which may be time-consuming). The obtained experimental results show the advantages of the proposed control structure over standard industrial PI/PID controllers in different working conditions.

Guidelines for technology selection in intralogistics: A scientific approach
Authors: Božić Mladen , Đurđević Dragan , Dabić-Miletić Svetlana
Published: November 2024

Introduction/purpose: Intralogistics involves the organization, control, realization, and optimization of material and information flows within a technologically integrated system. The selection and application of appropriate material handling equipment (MHE) play a crucial role in shaping intralogistics systems. This paper aims to define guidelines for selecting MHE based on scientific research. The methodology implemented to achieve this goal comprises several fundamental steps. Methods: The initial step involves analyzing three typical groups of tasks in (intra)logistics systems: transshipment, internal transport, and production activities. The analysis focuses on identifying and describing key task parameters, such as the type of unit load, quantity, flow intensity, and the location and timing of task initiation and completion. Next, there is a step devoted to the analysis of relevant scientific research. The literature is searched according to specific criteria, such as publication year, keywords, and citation count, to form a database of relevant papers. The analysis focuses on identifying and linking the parameters of practical tasks with those described in the literature and on the characteristics of the MHE used to facilitate the selection of appropriate MHE for these tasks. Results: Following this, in the third step, the observed task is classified according to standard task types found in the literature. Conclusion: Finally, in the last/fourth step, regression analysis is applied to define the guidelines for MHE selection based on the frequency of use of specific MHE groups for certain task groups as described in the literature.
Numerical investigation on the impact of particle density and flow velocity on particle transport and deposition in a randomly oriented fracture

Published: November 2024

Introduction/purpose: Fractured formations recently gained significant interest as a landscape for securing both energy and groundwater demands, However, the dual role of fracture in transporting fluids and contaminants underscores the need for further investigations to mitigate the impact on human health. This study aims to numerically investigate the combined effect of particle density and flow velocity on their transport and deposition in different fracture orientations. Methods: A 2D particle tracing simulation was implemented accounting for drag and gravity forces on a smooth fracture. The derived particle numbers under the studied scenario e.g., fracture orientation, particle density, and flow velocity, were fitted to a 1D advection-dispersion equation with a deposition term. Results: The model elucidated that both particle densities yielded an increase in the normalized concentration in non-horizontal scenarios as the fracture orientation angle increased. The overall increment led to an observed decrease in the deposition coefficients and was associated with an increase in the dispersion coefficients. Hence the effect was more pronounced for denser particles where gravitational settling dominated, particularly in horizontal fractures. Less dense particles (1.05 g/cm³) were more strongly influenced by hydrodynamic forces, exhibiting lower overall deposition and dispersion across all fracture orientations. Additionally, increased flow velocity enhanced mechanical mixing and amplified dispersion and deposition coefficients. Conclusion: The findings demonstrated a clear dependency on the combined effect of fracture orientation, particle density, and flow velocity. These valuable insights into particle transport mechanisms in fractured media have applications in subsurface flow, contaminant migration, and reservoir engineering.
