Authors: Rani Zikhona Theodora , Mhlongo Lindokuhle Christopher
Published: June 2023

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the distribution chain, distance between the abattoir and meat retailer, storage duration of meat at the meat retailer and meat retailer class on the physico-chemical quality of red meat. Beef (n = 150), pork (n = 150) and mutton (n = 150) samples were collected during the loading process of carcasses into refrigerated trucks, at the offloading point and during marketing to measure the effect of the distance between the abattoir and meat retailer, storage duration of meat at the meat retailer and meat retailer class (butcher, middle and high class) on the meat quality attributes. Meat quality attributes measured were; lightness (L*), redness (a*), yellowness (b*), pHu, cooking loss (CL%), Warner–Bratzler shear force (WBSF) and meat temperature (TM). The distribution stage had an effect (p < 0.05) on some of the meat quality attributes, specifically the a* values for all meat types during loading (18.5 ± 0.93), off-loading (15.8 ± 0.93) and display (20.2 ± 0.94) points. Abattoir to meat retailer distance had a significant effect on L*, a*, hue angle and chroma values (p < 0.05). Storage duration at the retailer point significantly affected L* and a* values of meat (p < 0.05). Meat retailer class affected WBSF and meat yellowness (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the distribution chain, distance between the abattoir and meat retailer, storage duration of meat at the meat retailer and meat retailer class all affect the physico-chemical quality of red meat.

Authors: Ehab Ahmed , Heath Tim
Published: June 2023

Virtual reality (VR) technology has the potential to revolutionize public engagement in the design of urban projects, leading to more sustainable and inclusive environments. This research scrutinizes this potential through a study of elevated urban spaces, specifically the Sky Garden and Crossrail Place in London. Comparing real and virtual interactions, the aim is to highlight their differences and similarities while underscoring the importance of design decision-making for sustainable public places. Through walk-along interviews with 33 visitors in each space and a VR experiment with a separate group of 33 participants, the study analyses the effectiveness of VR as a co-design tool. The outcomes demonstrate that VR positively influences user involvement and allows for the production and real-time testing of design alternatives. Significantly, the majority of participants, who had not physically visited the spaces, could identify design concerns and propose potential activities and features through the VR experiment. These findings were consistent with those expressed by actual users of the spaces. By comparing human activities, circulation, and design concerns in both physical and virtual environments, the research underscores the potential and limitations of VR as a co-design tool for creating sustainable public spaces.

Authors: Ponisciakova Olga , Rosnerova Zuzana , Kicova Eva
Published: June 2023

On an international scale, it can be argued that the key currency of business entities is human resources. They are a dominant part of corporate assets. They are also decisive determinants of competitiveness if they work with adequate performance, which is influenced by motivation. Managers are aware of this and pay increased attention to the study of factors that increase the performance and motivation of employees. In Slovakia, the importance of human resources increased gradually after the transformation of the economy to market conditions; currently, the management of human resources corresponds to international standards. However, it is necessary to increase attention in the management of some areas that personnel managers have competence in. Motivation can be included among these. The submitted contribution deals with the motivation of employees, as the subject area is not sufficiently addressed in the conditions of the Slovak Republic. According to the analysis of motivational processes in selected manufacturing companies operating in Slovakia, changes are proposed in the motivational system to increase employee motivation. The aim is to reveal the important aspects of motivational policy. To achieve the research objective, a qualitative study of data collection was carried out using an unstructured questionnaire survey. A questionnaire was used to develop the hypotheses. After data collection, established hypotheses were tested using the chi-square test of independence. The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. According to the analysis, proposals for changes in the incentive system were developed. The recommendations are presented in the form of individual concrete proposals and measures in various areas within motivational processes, which, after implementation, have the potential to increase the level of employee motivation.

Published: June 2023

Oversaturation of highways occurs due to their inadequate assessment and design. In this paper, we propose both a mathematical queuing model and a Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) framework based on Newell’s triangular flow-density relationship for the performance analysis of a multi-lane highway section. The proposed framework is a finite capacity queuing system, which captures an increase in the flow with the vehicle density up to the capacity of the section in an unsaturated condition and a decrease in the flow in the case of a saturated condition, depicting the actual traffic conditions on the highway section. First, the Birth–Death Process is used to build the mathematical queuing model (BDP), and the average number of vehicles (average queue length) and blocking probability on the highway section are estimated. Then, the accuracy of the mathematical queuing model is verified by the proposed DES framework. The “significance and effects” of different design factors are evaluated using the two-level full factorial design technique. The analysis of the experimental results reveals that the length of the highway section and the number of lanes are the most significant factors affecting the average queue length and blocking probability, while the jam density only has a significant effect on the average queue length and does not affect the blocking probability. In case of a two-way interaction, the combined effect of the “length-lanes” significantly affects the average queue length. In the end, a multiple-factor linear regression model is also developed for the prediction of the average number of vehicles on the highway section based on the design factors.

Published: June 2023

Traditionally, antibiotics have been used to treat human and animal diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria. The aquaculture industry, which is massively expanding currently, also makes use of several antibiotic classes, resulting in potential antibiotic residues in the surrounding aquatic environment, as well as the cultured products raising bacterial resistance. The aim of this study was the optimization, validation, and application of a solid-phase extraction (SPE) method in combination with liquid chromatography (LC)-LTQ/Orbitrap mass spectrometry in order to determine the most commonly used antibiotics in waters sampled from fish farms, both saltwater and freshwater, located in Greece. Under optimum conditions, the method was validated, achieving recoveries in the range of 57.7% (for sulfamethoxazole in river water) to 95.8% (for florfenicol in river water). The method quantification limits were within the range of 0.25 and 10 ng·L−1 in all cases, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) < 15.9%. The application of the proposed methodology revealed the presence of oxytetracycline and trimethoprim traces. Finally, an assessment of the environmental risk posed by the detected antibiotics was performed, calculating either the risk quotient (RQ) for three trophic levels (8.013 × 10−6 < RQ < 0.496) or the mixture RQ (0.005 < RQ < 0.682), proving that in all cases, the risk was medium to low.

Published: June 2023

Biochar emerged as a potential solution to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, though previous studies obtained variable results regarding its effects on methane (CH4) emissions and crop yields. Global meta-analyses were conducted regarding the effectiveness of biochar, though regional meta-analyses are still needed. We performed a meta-analysis of 43 published papers to obtain the central tendency of the response to biochar application in East Asian rice paddies. Biochar application significantly reduced methane emissions while increasing the soil organic carbon (SOC) content and crop yield. We identified the most significant influencing factors on the CH4 emissions, SOC content, and crop yield. Our findings provide a scientific basis for the application of biochar to East Asian rice paddies, as well as to study the effects of biochar application in East Asian rice paddies. The numbers in parentheses represent the sample sizes.
Sulfonate-Modified Polystyrene Nanoparticle at Precited Environmental Concentrations Induces Transgenerational Toxicity Associated with Increase in Germline Notch Signal of Caenorhabditis elegans
Authors: He Wenmiao , Gu Aihua , Wang Dayong
Published: June 2023

Recently, the transgenerational toxicity of nanoplastics has received increasing attention. Caenorhabditis elegans is a useful model to assess the transgenerational toxicity of different pollutants. In nematodes, the possibility of early-life exposure to sulfonate-modified polystyrene nanoparticle (PS-S NP) causing transgenerational toxicity and its underlying mechanisms were investigated. After exposure at the L1-larval stage, transgenerational inhibition in both locomotion behavior (body bend and head thrash) and reproductive capacity (number of offspring and fertilized egg number in uterus) was induced by 1–100 μg/L PS-S NP. Meanwhile, after exposure to 1–100 μg/L PS-S NP, the expression of germline lag-2 encoding Notch ligand was increased not only at the parental generation (P0-G) but also in the offspring, and the transgenerational toxicity was inhibited by the germline RNA interference (RNAi) of lag-2. During the transgenerational toxicity formation, the parental LAG-2 activated the corresponding Notch receptor GLP-1 in the offspring, and transgenerational toxicity was also suppressed by glp-1 RNAi. GLP-1 functioned in the germline and the neurons to mediate the PS-S NP toxicity. In PS-S NP-exposed nematodes, germline GLP-1 activated the insulin peptides of INS-39, INS-3, and DAF-28, and neuronal GLP-1 inhibited the DAF-7, DBL-1, and GLB-10. Therefore, the exposure risk in inducing transgenerational toxicity through PS-S NP was suggested, and this transgenerational toxicity was mediated by the activation of germline Notch signal in organisms.

Published: June 2023

Food security is a global issue, since it is closely related to human health. Antibiotics play a significant role in animal husbandry owing to their desirable broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. However, irrational use of antibiotics has caused serious environmental pollution and food safety problems; thus, the on-site detection of antibiotics is in high demand in environmental analysis and food safety assessment. Aptamer-based sensors are simple to use, accurate, inexpensive, selective, and are suitable for detecting antibiotics for environmental and food safety analysis. This review summarizes the recent advances in aptamer-based electrochemical, fluorescent, and colorimetric sensors for antibiotics detection. The review focuses on the detection principles of different aptamer sensors and recent achievements in developing electrochemical, fluorescent, and colorimetric aptamer sensors. The advantages and disadvantages of different sensors, current challenges, and future trends of aptamer-based sensors are also discussed.
Botulinum Toxin Therapy for Psychiatric Disorders in Clinical Practice: A Retrospective Case Study

Published: June 2023

Inhibiting the facial expression of negative emotions via botulinum toxin A (BTX) has been shown to mitigate symptoms of clinical depression in randomized controlled trials. This retrospective case study sought to reproduce the beneficial effects of BTX in a naturalistic setting for major depressive disorder and collect casuistic data on its effect on other mental disorders. Moreover, we describe symptom development across multiple treatment cycles with BTX, and assess the implementation of additional injection targets in the lower face region. Participants were N = 51 adult psychiatric outpatients mainly seeking treatment for depression. Over 50% suffered from comorbid psychiatric conditions, predominantly generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or borderline personality disorder (BPD). A pre–post case series design was adapted. All participants received BTX-injections in the glabellar region on at least one occasion. Some received additional injections in the mouth region and over multiple treatment cycles. Treatment response was followed up by self-rated scales at varying time intervals post treatment. The results showed that BTX may yield favorable outcomes across multiple and comorbid mental disorders, especially, however, for patients suffering from depression. It potentially prevents the recurrence of clinical symptoms if applied regularly. Adding additional regions of the face does not seem to be superior over applying it to the glabellar region alone. The results add to the growing evidence that BTX therapy is effective in alleviating symptoms of depression. Positive effects can be sustained and reinstated, when applied over multiple treatment cycles. Observed symptom reduction in other psychiatric disorders was less pronounced. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms by which BTX therapy reduces psychiatric symptoms.

Published: June 2023

On the climate-health issue, studies have already attempted to understand the influence of climate change on the transmission of malaria. Extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, or heat waves can alter the course and distribution of malaria. This study aims to understand the impact of future climate change on malaria transmission using, for the first time in Senegal, the ICTP’s community-based vector-borne disease model, TRIeste (VECTRI). This biological model is a dynamic mathematical model for the study of malaria transmission that considers the impact of climate and population variability. A new approach for VECTRI input parameters was also used. A bias correction technique, the cumulative distribution function transform (CDF-t) method, was applied to climate simulations to remove systematic biases in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) global climate models (GCMs) that could alter impact predictions. Beforehand, we use reference data for validation such as CPC global unified gauge-based analysis of daily precipitation (CPC for Climate Prediction Center), ERA5-land reanalysis, Climate Hazards InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS), and African Rainfall Climatology 2.0 (ARC2). The results were analyzed for two CMIP5 scenarios for the different time periods: assessment: 1983–2005; near future: 2006–2028; medium term: 2030–2052; and far future: 2077–2099). The validation results show that the models reproduce the annual cycle well. Except for the IPSL-CM5B model, which gives a peak in August, all the other models (ACCESS1–3, CanESM2, CSIRO, CMCC-CM, CMCC-CMS, CNRM-CM5, GFDL-CM3, GFDL-ESM2G, GFDL-ESM2M, inmcm4, and IPSL-CM5B) agree with the validation data on a maximum peak in September with a period of strong transmission in August–October. With spatial variation, the CMIP5 model simulations show more of a difference in the number of malaria cases between the south and the north. Malaria transmission is much higher in the south than in the north. However, the results predicted by the models on the occurrence of malaria by 2100 show differences between the RCP8.5 scenario, considered a high emission scenario, and the RCP4.5 scenario, considered an intermediate mitigation scenario. The CanESM2, CMCC-CM, CMCC-CMS, inmcm4, and IPSL-CM5B models predict decreases with the RCP4.5 scenario. However, ACCESS1–3, CSIRO, NRCM-CM5, GFDL-CM3, GFDL-ESM2G, and GFDL-ESM2M predict increases in malaria under all scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). The projected decrease in malaria in the future with these models is much more visible in the RCP8.5 scenario. The results of this study are of paramount importance in the climate-health field. These results will assist in decision-making and will allow for the establishment of preventive surveillance systems for local climate-sensitive diseases, including malaria, in the targeted regions of Senegal.
The Neutrino Mass Problem: From Double Beta Decay to Cosmology
Authors: Civitarese Osvaldo
Published: June 2023

The neutrino is perhaps the most elusive member of the particle zoo. The questions about its nature, namely: Dirac or Majorana, the value of its mass and the interactions with other particles, the number of its components including sterile species, are long standing ones and still remain to a large extent without conclusive answers. From the side of the nuclear structure and nuclear reactions, both theories and experiments, the need to elucidate these questions has, and still has, prompt crucial developments in the fields of double beta decay, double charge exchange and neutrino induced reactions. The measurements of neutrino flavor oscillation parameters contribute largely to restrict models with massless neutrinos. From the particle physics side, the possibilities to extend the standard model of electroweak interactions to incorporate a right-handed sector of the electroweak Lagrangian are directly linked to the adopted neutrino model. Here, I would like to address another aspect of the problem by asking the question of the neutrino mass mechanism in the cosmological context, and particularly about dark matter.

Despite the effectiveness of current vaccines in reducing the spread and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infections, many people, including migrants, refugees, and foreign workers, are hesitant to be vaccinated. This systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA) was conducted to determine the pooled prevalence estimate of the acceptance and hesitancy rates of the COVID-19 vaccine among these populations. A comprehensive search of the peer-reviewed literature indexed in PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Web of Science databases was conducted. Initially, 797 potential records were identified, of which 19 articles met the inclusion criteria. A meta-analysis of proportions using data from 14 studies revealed that the overall acceptance rate of COVID vaccination among 29,152 subjects was 56.7% (95% CI: 44.9–68.5%), while the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy among 26,154 migrants reported in 12 studies was estimated to be 31.7% (95% CI: 44.9–68.5%). The acceptance rate for the COVID-19 vaccination first declined from 77.3% in 2020 to 52.9% in 2021 and then slightly increased to 56.1% in 2022. The most frequent factors influencing vaccine hesitancy were worries about vaccine efficacy and safety. Intensive vaccination campaigns should be implemented to raise vaccination awareness among migrants, which will increase the acceptance rate for the COVID-19 vaccine and result in herd immunity.

Symbolism in the Animation's Visuals : The Role of the Creative Sector in Advancing the Utopian
Authors: Isfiaty Tiara
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this article is to substantiate the important role of visual creativity in the creative industry sector in meeting the educational needs of the creative economy community. One form of cultural media from the creative sector that has the potential to boost the economy is animated film. When an animated picture is screened, the originality of the imagery takes center stage in order to engage the audience's imagination and foster a sense of personal connection with the entire work. A specific idea is embodied in animated film representation. The primary components that must be prepared in the creative sector are ideas because they are associated with technological innovation and artistic creativity. Utopianism was one of the original concepts that inspired the plot of the Disney animated film Zootopia. Through specific visual representations, the idea of utopia manifests metaphorically. Relational analysis based on Ogden and Richard's triangle of meaning is used to describe how the animated film's visual characters and symbols represent the utopian idea. For the drivers of the creative sectors, the results might be valuable as a way to relate ideas into the form of symbols and visualizations.

Resumo: A escravidão no território brasileiro durou mais de três séculos e deixou marcas presentes na atualidade. A literatura especializada e didática descreve o período escravista demonstrando questões sobre a crueldade no trato dispensado aos escravizados, resistência, e luta por liberdade destes. Contudo, alguns aspectos ainda são ignorados, como a atuação da mulher negra na sociedade escravista. Nesse sentido, as propostas de livros didáticos perpetuam o apagamento de sua figura. No entanto, pode-se perceber que existem diversas atuações femininas nesse período, mas que foram invisibilizadas. Mulheres como Anastásia, Aqualtune, Adelina e Esperança Garcia são definidas como personagens de suma importância na luta contra a escravidão no Brasil. Na presente pesquisa, chamamos atenção para Dandara dos Palmares: guerreira do período colonial do Brasil que lutou bravamente pelos seus ideais e defesa dos seus semelhantes. Nos livros didáticos, a figura de Zumbi dos Palmares é (tardiamente) é enaltecida. Por outro lado, Dandara, sua companheira, e ativa na luta é desconsiderada. A presente pesquisa centrou o seu desenvolvimento na problematização acima exposta e o recorte espaço/temporal definido pelo período colonial no Brasil, mais especificamente o século XVII.

Neste artigo, escrito por três pós-graduandos em Educação, professores de Artes e de História comprometidos com a reflexão e prática para uma educação democrática, buscamos estabelecer a crítica à modernidade europeia, como sistema de dominação, ao defendermos o ato de sonhar como alternativa potente. Apresentamos o sonho a partir de perspectivas contra-hegemônicas, o que têm sido objeto de reflexão de parte da intelectualidade contemporânea. Para desenvolver as reflexões aqui propostas, mobilizamos o pensamento decolonial, exemplificado em teoria e práticas de educadores, artistas e outros agentes socialmente engajados. O  artigo está estruturado em três seções. A primeira trata sobre as potencialidades do ato de sonhar. A segunda trata de como as artes podem construir outras imagens e realidades vivíveis, assim como outras perspectivas históricas ao trazer tensionamentos ao projeto ocidental de dominação. A terceira seção discute como as práticas de movimentos sociais, articulados ao conhecimento histórico e artístico, têm um papel pedagógico na sociedade. Concluímos que a partir do ato de sonhar, a educação se constitui como meio para estruturar e efetivar a invenção de realidades mais criativas, que fujam à lógica hierarquizante imposta pela modernidade.

Published: June 2023

Communities can adapt to residents' needs through innovative citizen-led initiatives. Extension can facilitate these innovation initiatives, but are Extension agents always receptive to such change? We conducted a study to examine the association between organizational change and personal factors and Extension family and consumer sciences agents' innovativeness regarding caregiving programming. Respondents rated their receptiveness to change and answered questions regarding psychosocial health factors. We found that years in current position, leadership self-efficacy, interoffice support, and social support were significant predictors of innovativeness. Results suggest that personal factors rather than organizational change factors may be the more crucial mechanisms for driving agents' innovativeness.

Indonesia has many types of plants that are abundant and can be used as medicine. One of the plants used as medicine is patikan kebo (Euphorbia hirta L.) because it contains of several chemical compounds, which are tannin, flavonoid and saponin. Tannin and flavonoid are the main compounds in plants that help to stop the bleeding. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of patikan kebo’s latex (Euphorbia hirta L.) to decrease the bleeding time in skin wounds of white rats (Rattus norvegicus). This research is a pre experiment. The number of experimental animals used was 10 which were divided into 2 treatment groups (T1 and T2). The treatment group T1)was not dripped with patikan kebo’s latex (Euphorbia hirta L.) and treatment group T2 was dripped with patikan kebo’s latex (Euphorbia hirta L.) and then the bleeding time was measured. Based on result of Independent Sample T Test showed that P value = 0,006 (P<0,05), it means the bleeding time in skin wound of white rats that were dripped with patikan kebo’s latex and without dripped with patikan kebo’s latex are significant.

Cel naukowy: Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie zagadnienia wchodzenia w związki małżeńskie nauczycieli i nauczycielek domowych, podejmujących się obowiązków zawodowych na terenie Królestwa Polskiego w XIX wieku i w początkach XX wieku

Problem i metody badawcze:  W artykule podjęto próbę charakterystyki zjawiska zakładania rodziny przez osoby trudniące się edukacją domową w oparciu o źródła pamiętnikarskie, wspomnieniowe.  Zwrócono uwagę na bariery i przeszkody uniemożliwiające poznanie kandydata na męża lub kandydatki na żonę. Ze względu na charakter źródeł i specyfikę badań posłużono się metodami charakterystycznymi dla nauk historycznych.

Proces wywodu: Wywód składa się z czterech części. W pierwszej przedstawiono  czynniki wpływające na założenie rodziny, w tym bariery i przeszkody uniemożliwiające wstąpienie w związek małżeński. Druga część to charakterystyka zjawisk w edukacji domowej takich jak  flirty, romanse.  W części trzeciej omówione zostały wybory partnera i partnerki życiowej nauczycieli. Ostania część podejmuje problem czy stan cywilny i rodzina nie stanowiły przeszkody w pracy zawodowej osób trudniących się edukacją domową.

Wyniki analizy naukowej: Z reguły to kobiety angażowane w edukacji domowej miały problemy w założeniu rodziny. Praca zajmowała im cały czas, często ten także wolny, dlatego nie miały zbyt wielu okazji na poznanie przyszłego partnera życiowego. Mężczyźni godzili obowiązki rodzinne z obowiązkami zawodowymi.

Wnioski, innowacje, rekomendacje: Problem pozostawania w wolnym stanie czy zawarcie małżeństwa wydaje się ponadczasowy. Ogromy wpływ na decyzję o wstąpieniu w związek małżeński ma opinia publiczna. Niekiedy kobiety jak i mężczyźni działają zgodnie z utartym schematem, że powinnością każdej płci jest założenie rodziny.

Breastfeeding can protect infants and toddlers; therefore, it is advisable to breastfeed as soon as possible after the baby is born. Early contact between mother and baby is a sensitive period in which an earlier delay in contact between the baby and the mother will interfere with the child's further development. Various reasons are put forward by mothers who do not exclusively breastfeed their babies, including mothers who feel less milk production, difficulty in sucking babies, working mothers, the desire to be modern, and the influence of advertising/promotion of breast milk substitutes. This study aimed to determine the relationship between education and knowledge on changes in attitudes of III trimester pregnant women about Early Breastfeeding Initiation. Analytical research with a Cross-Sectional Study approach with a sample of 31 people. Data processing with SPSS with Chi-Square test. The study's results did not show a relationship between education and knowledge in the attitude of III trimester pregnant women towards Early Initiation of Breastfeeding. Every expectant mother is unique, and the approach to teaching and understanding can be tailored to their needs and preferences. Supporting expectant mothers with accurate information, emotional support, and appropriate resources can help improve their attitudes toward early breastfeeding initiation and prepare them for a positive breastfeeding experience.
