Sachet water (SW) is a major source of drinking water in most Nigerian homes, thus making it a possible conveyance medium for health risks due to contamination rather than for replenishment of the body. This study collected SW from three busy neighborhoods and investigated for the presence of indicator bacteria – Escherichia coli (E. coli), Total Coliform (TC), Total Heterophilic Bacteria (THB), and Staphylococcus – and some physio-chemical parameters – total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and salinity. Multi-variable and exploratory statistical methods were applied to the results to determine correlations between bacterial contamination levels and perceived brand reputation. Bacteriological test with raw SW samples appeared too numerous to count (TNC) and thus required serial dilutions. After seven dilutions, results obtained revealed that SW brands with good reputation had no TC and E. coli and was statistically significant with groupings of other SW brands (χ2 = 12.28; p < 0.05 and χ2 = 37.96; p < 0.05) respectively. Additionally, SW brands with poor reputation had mean values of TC (19.7X10^8 cfu/ml;14X10^8 cfu/ml1.15X10^8 cfu/ml) and E.coli (18.2X10^8 cfu/ml;38.7X10^8 cfu/ml,32.4X10^8 cfu/ml) exceeding threshold value of zero set by the World Health Organization (WHO). Only one sample from poor reputation brand tested positive for Staphylococcus and was not statistically significant (χ2 =5.2191; p = 0.074). Principal Component Analysis (PCA)/ Factor Analysis (FA) revealed that most of the SW had fecal contamination in an alarming magnitude. Therefore, this study suggests that periodic cleaning of distribution lines, location specific treatment, QC and QA measures should be taken to reduce water security risk for SW consumption in the region.

Published: March 2023

One of the challenges posed by renewable energies is the stabilization of parameters related to the quality of electrical energy. This study demonstrates the existence of a relationship between input blocks of hydropower and the variation of the fundamental frequency of the electricity grid. By mapping production data provided by Spanish Electric Network with frequency measured in the laboratory, it is shown that gradients of hydropower are correlated with frequency fluctuations for certain characteristic times. Considering hourly instances of energy input, the study compares two methods for calculating hydropower gradients (linear regression and pseudo-linear regression); and two methods for calculating local frequency extremes (the "specular inertia" method and analysis by comparison with the moving average), in order to corroborate the results.

Objective. To study the characteristics of cardiotocography (CTG) and pregnancy outcomes in patients who had a mild coronavirus infection in the third trimester. Patients and methods. The parameters and variations of CTG and pregnancy outcomes were analyzed in 32 low-risk pregnant women who experienced mild COVID-19 in the third trimester (the study group) and in 30 pregnant women (matched pairs) who had no coronavirus infection (the comparison group). Results. A total of 375 CTGs were analyzed: 221 in the study group and 154 in the comparison group. Normal CTG recordings were found in 87% of pregnant women in the study group, which was significantly less frequent than in those without COVID-19 (97%) (p = 0.02), and suspicious CTG in 10 and 1.3%, respectively, which was 3.38-fold more frequent than in the comparison group (p = 0.04). Pathological CTG recordings were observed only in two women in the study group. The features of CTG in women who had a mild form of COVID-19 in the third trimester were a significant decrease in the number of accelerations, short-term variation (STV) in the range of 3 to 5 ms, long-term variation (LTV) <50 ms, a tendency toward tachycardia and low heart rate variability (<5 ms), and prolonged decelerations. The frequency of fetal asphyxia and neonatal morbidity was higher in the study group. Conclusion. COVID-19 even in its mild form may have a negative effect on the fetus, increasing the frequency of fetal hypoxia and neonatal asphyxia. Key words: cardiotocography, COVID-19 in pregnancy, STV, LTV, variability

Despite the evident progress achieved in the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D) over the past decade and due to the active implementation of innovative technologies, the prevalence of reproductive system disorders among young women with T1D remains quite high and is about 40%. A wide range of such disorders include delayed puberty, late menarche, irregular menstrual cycle, infertility, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and early menopause. In addition, according to available scientific data, patients with T1D have a higher incidence of such gynecological diseases as polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, hyperplastic lesions of the endometrium and mammary glands. The leading pathogenetic factor of emerging reproductive disorders is chronic hyperglycemia, as well as marked glycemic variability. To ensure timely prevention and development of a comprehensive approach to the treatment of gynecological and reproductive diseases, a broader understanding of the clinical features of reproductive disorders and the pathogenetic mechanisms of their development is required. The aim of this review was to systematize the available knowledge on the characteristics of reproductive health of women with T1D and to analyze current preventive and therapeutic strategies for reproductive dysfunction.

Authors: Palacios Francisco J. , Gómez Parra María Elena , Huertas Abril Cristina A.
Published: March 2023

Los esfuerzos de la administración educativa dirigidos a la formación permanente de los docentes AICLE en activo son incuestionables.  Sin embargo, pese a las múltiples iniciativas desarrolladas a nivel nacional e internacional, en España, la formación inicial del profesorado que desarrollará su práctica educativa en centros de enseñanza bilingüe sigue siendo una materia pendiente en múltiples aspectos. Cada vez más universidades implantan itinerarios bilingües en sus grados, así como másteres encaminados al ejercicio de la labor educativa en centros donde los contenidos se imparten en una lengua extranjera. No obstante, parecen no existir desde el ministerio de educación directrices que insten a todos los centros de educación superior a ofrecer formación bilingüe. Este artículo pretende reflexionar sobre la formación inicial que los futuros docentes de educación bilingüe reciben en España. Para ello, se revisan tanto las características de esta formación como los requisitos que el profesorado egresado ha de tener para iniciar su labor educativa. De forma similar, se recogen algunos de los retos que los docentes han de afrontar, entre los que destacan sus carencias en relación a competencias comunicativa, metodológica y digital. El uso de las nuevas tecnologías para la mejora del dominio lingüístico y digital, así como el fomento de la reflexión sobre la praxis docente y el desarrollo de habilidades de trabajo en equipo grupo, liderazgo y colaboración son algunas de las claves que pueden contribuir a mejorar esta situación.

 

The efforts aimed at improving permanent training of CLIL teachers made by educational bodies are unquestionable. However, in spite of the multiple initiatives developed from both national and international perspectives, in Spain, initial CLIL teacher training still remains an unresolved subject in multiple aspects. More and more universities are implementing bilingual itineraries in their degrees, as well as master’s degrees, all directed to providing in-training teachers with abilities to apply to their future praxis when teaching in schools where contents are taught in a foreign language; however, there are any guidelines from the ministry of education that urge all universities to offer bilingual training. This paper aims to reflect on initial CLIL teacher training developed in Spain. To do this, the features of such training, as well as the requirements for in-training teachers, are revised. Similarly, some of the challenges that teachers have to face are mentioned, paying special attention to scarcities in their communicative, methodological and digital competences. The use of new technologies for improving linguistic and digital proficiency, as well as the promotion of the teaching praxis reflection and teamwork, leadership and collaboration skills’ development are keys to enhance this situation.
La naturaleza en el espacio narrativo de "Les Chouans": propuesta de clasificación
Authors: Castellano Martínez José María
Published: March 2023

El presente trabajo estudia los elementos naturales en la obra Les Chouans del romántico francés Balzac desde una perspectiva espacial y contextual en donde la descripción de la naturaleza en sus diferentes formas configura un escenario fundamental para el desarrollo de la obra. Tras la pertinente introducción, esbozamos el concepto romántico a través de la contemplación de la Naturaleza y el valor, que esta refleja en el imaginario decimonónico narrativo al que nos referimos, con el propósito de clasificar aquellos elementos descritos o mencionados en la obra que contribuyen a su escenificación narrativa. Esta propuesta de cinco grupos (paisajes verdes, el Sol, la Luna, la montaña y el agua) pretende establecer un humilde marco de referencia sobre el que comprender la relevancia del elemento natural en la obra romántica como trasfondo del espíritu que es propio del momento, fruto de la observación y contemplación del autor, quien establece una relación directa con dicho universo natural por medio de sus recreaciones.

Rapports entre la litterature et l'architecture: travail interdisciplinaire pour le français sur objectifs specifiques
Authors: Lence Guilabert M. Ángeles
Published: March 2023

L’étude de l’espace linguistique et littéraire des textes narratifs du XVIIIe siècle en France doit être basée sur l’analyse formelle de l’espace architectural des traités d’architecture publiés à l’époque. Nous avons ciblé la lecture de romans et de nouvelles sur les descriptions spatiales efficaces pour aboutir à un objectif didactique, centré sur l’utilisation simultanée de deux textes, l’un technique, provenant du traité Le génie de l’Architecture (1780) de Le Camus de Mézières, où l’auteur décrit le projet d’un espace domestique, l’autre littéraire, un extrait de Point de lendemain (1777) de Vivant Denon, où l’écrivain transforme en roman ce même espace. La comparaison des deux textes, où nous constatons un vocabulaire spécifique concernant l’architecture, devient le pont entre les études humanistiques et les études techniques, en travaillant en même temps avec des étudiants de Philologie et des étudiants d’Architecture et des Beaux Arts. De ce travail-là nous avons obtenu un modèle interdisciplinaire de recherche que nous pouvons mettre en place en classe parmi les matières de langue étrangère sur objectifs spécifiques et des matières technico-artistiques telles que la peinture ou la musique, pour en citer quelques-unes

Published: March 2023

El auge y expansión de Internet, junto a la revolución comunicativa que ello conlleva ha generado un cambio de paradigma en el ámbito de la comunicación comercial, siendo el de la publicidad un campo en el que se ha producido una transformación absoluta. Donde antes había solamente textos, ahora existe un aparato comunicativo perfectamente engranado mediante el cual se transmite un mensaje estructurado a través de diferentes recursos, ya sean textuales, imágenes, videos, etc. Las páginas web 2.0 son un ejemplo palpable de este hecho y, por tanto, de la revolución comunicativa que se está produciendo desde hace años. La comunicación multimodal representa, en numerosas ocasiones, un reto para el traductor. El hecho de armonizar y dotar de coherencia a un mensaje que cuenta con numerosos elementos pertenecientes a códigos semióticos distintos, supone una tarea compleja para la que el traductor necesita una formación sólida y una gran capacidad para la resolución de problemas.

Sanctions and the Russian Federation's Economy: A Systematic Literature Review and Analysis of Global Energy Sector
Authors: KİLİNC ATA Nurcan , ISMAİLOV Nail , VOLKOVA Irina
Published: March 2023

The current paper examines how sanctions implemented by a number of countries, particularly the United States (US), the European Union (EU), and the United Kingdom (UK), have affected the Russian Federation's economic and global energy sectors. The data demonstrates how the sanctions have impacted Russian Federation's economy and global energy sector. Because of the steep rise in oil, natural gas, and food costs, Russian Federation special military operation to Ukraine is steadily raising inflation, which has wrecked most worldwide economies. Due to political dangers, this situation is anticipated to outcome in greater global economic uncertainty, unpredictably high stock prices, supply chain disruptions, expensive bills, and a drop in investment. As a result, if Russian Federation responds by banning exports of critical global commodities, such as oil, natural gas, wheat, minerals (such as neon, titanium, palladium, and ammonium nitrate) for clean energy, it will be critical for the forecasts to intensify and many countries to seek ways to live economically. In this context, the study will attempt to highlight the importance of oil, natural gas, and other significant minerals for both Russian Federation and the global economy, as well as the effects of sanctions within the global energy sector.

Functional linguistic perspectives in TESOL: Curriculum design and text-based instruction
Authors: Mickan Peter
Published: March 2023

This paper outlines the general influence of Halliday’s (1994, 2014) systemic functional linguistics on TESOL curriculum. Halliday’s explanation of language as a social semiotic and language learning as learning to mean has been applied internationally in genre and text- based teaching. The concept of register in systemic functional linguistics describes linguistic variation of texts for the expression of different meanings. SFL studies document teachers’ explicit instruction in the lexicogrammatical construction of text types linked to function and social context. The explicitness informs students’ decision-making for formulation of meanings in different text types. Reference is made to SFL applied in teacher education. There is mention of the relevance of SFL to Australia’s concern with literacy standards in education.

Antigenicity prediction of peptides generated by chimeric transcripts provides proof-of-concept of tumor-specific cryptic neoepitopes
Authors: Dixit Vaishnavi M , Bapat Sharmila
Published: March 2023

Considerable recent interest lies in the immunogenicity of non-canonical neoantigens harboured in alternative open reading frames generated by non-synonymous mutations, nucleotide insertions / deletions, exonization of untranslated regions of the genome, non-coding transcripts, transposable elements, etc. Amongst these ‘cryptic’ epitopes, those generated by chimeric transcripts [CTs], which represent sequences from more than one gene remain undefined, and their translational potential and immunogenicity is relatively unexplored. In the present study, we predicted and assessed neoepitopes generated by CTs in ovarian cancer. Development and application of a customized targeted peptide database, further led to the identification of unique peptides and reading-frame isoforms [sense/anti-sense] of such transcripts. Prediction of antigenicity of these novel peptides and proteins was achieved considering their stability, proteasomal processing, and likelihood of being presented to MHC-I in an allele-specific manner. Further docking of peptide MHC and peptide-MHC-TCR complexes provided validation and proof-of-concept of generation of a small number of putative neoepitopes of CTs that are recognized by specific TCRs. Importantly, our findings identify that relaxed/perturbed rigidity of canonical transcription and translation in cancer may present new opportunities in immunotherapy.

Published: March 2023

In spite of the observed immunomodulatory properties of different sex hormones on Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in different investigations, to date, there has been no study to systematically review the documents to add more powerful data to the field. Therefore, in this paper we aim to systematically review clinical and randomized controlled trials (RCT) assessing the effect of sex hormone therapies on individuals with MS. A comprehensive search of electronic databases including PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus was conducted. Clinical trials and RCTs that assessed the impact of sex hormones on individuals with MS were selected and included in the systematic review. In the final phase of the search strategy, 9 papers reached the criteria for entering in the systematic review. Two independent reviewers extracted the relevant data from each article according to the standardized data extraction form. Two reviewers also assessed the quality of each study independently using PEDro scale. We categorized three different classifications of outcomes including clinical, MRI, and immune system findings and put each measured outcome in the category which matched best. In conclusion, the existed investigations on the effect of sex hormones on inflammatory and neurodegenerative components of MS are promising particularly in relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS).

Electrospray deposition (ESD) is a promising technique for depositing micro- and nano-scale droplets and particles with high quality and uniformity. It is a particularly attractive solution for surface coating of costly and delicate biomaterials and bioactive compounds. While high efficiency of ESD has only been successfully demonstrated for spraying surfaces larger than the spray plume, this work extends its utility to smaller surfaces. It is shown that by architecting the local “charge landscape”, ESD coatings of surfaces smaller than plume size can be achieved. Efficiency approaching 100% is demonstrated with multiple model materials, including biocompatible polymers, proteins, and bioactive small molecules, on both flat and microneedle array targets. UV-visible spectroscopy and HPLC measurements validate the high efficiency and quality of the sprayed material. This protocol for ESD can be considered an efficient and more competitive alternative to other conformal coating mechanisms, such as dip coating or inkjet printing, for micro-engineered applications.

Technology advancement in modern planetary exploration has extended extraterrestrial geological science by sending rovers on challenging, possibly risky but highly scientific-valuable ventures, such as ascending towards the crater walls, traversing steep slopes of sand dunes and travelling through the lava tube. On the 41st lunar day, the first lunar farside prospector, the Yutu-2 rover, carried out an exciting expedition towards a scientifically interesting fin-shaped rock for spectral investigation, taking a high risk of wheel skidding and lateral slippage along a narrow and uneven passage. The rover successfully achieved new findings by extending its locomotion margin on perilous peaks, while its safety was maintained on the basis of ingenious exploration strategies and digital twin-based performance analysis. Surface morphology analysis of the fin-shaped rock indicates that it has suffered certain degrees of impacts. The further in situ spectral investigations suggest that the target rock is composed of Fe/Mg-rich low-Ca pyroxene, thus inferred to belongs to the Zhinyu crater ejecta, rather than those of the Finsen crater. Engineering locomotive data of the rover was used for comprehensive lunar regolith property identification, presenting the first shear parameter range of the farside regolith and an initial estimation on its lateral property in the extraterrestrial environment. The estimated internal friction angle is within 21.5°-42.0° and the associated cohesion is 520-3154 Pa, which suggests that the lunar regolith at Chang’E-4 site had similar shear characteristics to samples measured by direct shear approach on the Apollo 12 mission, but relatively larger cohesion than the counterpart investigated on most of nearside lunar missions. This study demonstrates a paradigm of the in-depth integration of science and technology in space exploration, where planetary science is enabled by engineering support, and new demands of scientific exploration in turn generate motivation for the improvement of technology.
Design of wide rejection harmonic band Wilkinson power divider based on single suppressor topology for UHF applications
Authors: Al-Zubaidi Ihab Fadhil Abbas , Abbasi Hamed
Published: March 2023

This paper proposed a new topology of Wilkinson power divider based on the one harmonic suppressor structure. In previous works, low- and band-pass filters have been used instead of quarter-wavelength lines in conventional Wilkinson's power divider design. But in this research, a low-pass filter as a suppressor connected to the input terminal, then using two simple elliptical resonators divide the power. As a result, there is no need to two suppressor structures symmetrically. The operation of the power divider in this topology is that the spurious signals are completely suppressed by the suppressor structure, then the signal is divided and reaches the output terminals with the desired frequency. This innovation is being introduced for the first time. On the other hand, the proposed suppressor structure has two rectangular elliptical resonators with a long base length and two pairs of rectangular resonators with a short base length to suppress harmonics up to sixth order. Next, the power is divided using two circular elliptical resonators. The measurement results show that the insertion and return losses are 3.09/3.11 dB and 30 dB, respectively at 1 GHz frequency, and suppression of harmonics up to the 18th order.
Sulfate Removal from Acid Mine Drainage using adsorption onto acid- activated neutralized red mud: Effect of various parameters, isotherm and kinetic studies
Authors: Rahimi Shima , Irannajad Mehdi
Published: March 2023

Red mud (RM) as an alternate adsorbent was explored for the removal of sulfate from the aqueous solution by the batch equilibration technique. The results revealed that both seawater (BRM) and acid treatment RM (RMH) can modify high rates of pH and improve the adsorption capacity of raw RM. The study also focused on effect of various factors on sulfate removal, including acid dosage, pH, adsorbent dose, adsorbate concentration and contact time. The most sorption capacity and sulfate removal for RM, BRM, and RMH was equal to 12.7, 15.9 and 23.9 mg/g and 25.5, 31.9 and 41.3 % at pH rates of 5.5, 6.5 and 4.5, respectively. Sulfate removal reached equilibrium in 30, 60 and 60 min contact time for RM, BRM, and RMH. Based on kinetic studies, pseudo-second-order is the best model for sulfate adsorption onto RMH and BRM, and chemisorption interaction is controlling step. Isotherm studies demonstrated RM surface is heterogeneous and adsorption occurs through particle diffusion and multilayer and Freundlich model was the best isotherm for description sulfate adsorption on RMH and BRM. FTIR results illustrated a sharp intensity (1100 cm-1) related to SO2-4 in RM samples after sulfate adsorption that is sharper for HRM than BRM and RM. EDX studies showed increasing Ca peak in BRM and Fe and Ti peaks in RMH results. It seems that mononuclear exchange with OH- groups and binuclear ligand exchange are the main mechanisms of sulfate adsorption on RM.

Today, data envelopment analysis models with network structures are widely used to evaluate the performance of production systems and activities in various fields. the relationships between the internal stages of the network provides more information about the performance of each stage as well as their effects on the performance of the entire network to the managers and decision-makers. The inverse data envelopment analysis model is introduced to estimate useful information to system decision-makers, about analyzing the sensitivity of system inputs or outputs as long as the efficiency score is kept unchanged or improved according to the managers preferences. Managers can apply their important preferences and policies on resources, including input and output when analyzing production, resource allocation process, increasing resource efficiency, etc. on the system to use the results for future decisions. In this article, we will discuss the problems of infeasibility that can occur in theory and application for the inverse model of data envelopment analysis with network structure. After introducing these problems, an innovative idea is presented to prevent these shortcomings. Then, various problems are supposed, in terms of theory and applications, and are solved with case studies.

Authors: Tang Qiang , Qu Xinyu , Wang Jin , He Shiming
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we propose a data relay system consisting of multiple UAVs and AP and maximize the minimum IoTDs receiving rate as the optimization objective. We model the problem as a Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming(MINLP). To improve the utilization of communication resources, we invoke non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and successive interference cancellation (SIC) techniques at the AP side. In addition, we use the Wireless Power Transmission(WPT) technique at the UAV side to charge the IoTDs to extend their operating life. To solve the MINLP problem, we further decompose it into three subproblems: connection scheduling between UAVs and IoTDs, time slot allocation and UAV trajectory, and propose a power parameter optimization problem for NOMA power allocation. Finally, we solve all subproblems step by step using convex optimization problems such as Successive Convex Approximations (SCA) and propose an overall iterative algorithm. In the simulation, we compare our proposed algorithm with different algorithms and other optimization schemes, and the results show that our proposed algorithm has better performance.

Power quality is a group of boundaries characterizing the properties of the power supply as conveyed to the client in typical working conditions as far as progression of supply and attributes of voltage (magnitude, frequency, waveform). There are various manners by which electric power can be of low quality. Administration interferences, gear glitch, and overabundance power utilization are largely normal manifestations of helpless power quality. To limit the danger of lost creation and harm to electrical hardware, power quality investigation is utilized to screen a framework for issues, discover the reason, and start remedial activity. Voltage and Current estimation or checking inside electronic hardware is a typical necessity covering different kinds of utilizations. The Current Measurement block is utilized to quantify the quick flow streaming in any electrical square or association line. The Voltage Measurement block estimates the brief voltage between two electric hubs. An electric flow is a progression of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is frequently conveyed by moving electrons in a wire. Electric flow is estimated utilizing Series/Parallel RLC thunderous circuits utilizing MATLAB Simulink graphical portrayal. Later on, work, the diverse level voltage circuits information will be tried with Hyperspectral information preparing which is utilized to discover the precise voltage magnification distinction and investigate through signal handling.

The mechanical alloying process has been used to synthesise the nanocrystalline Fe60Al35Mg5 ( wt % )powders in a high energy planetary ball-mill Retsch PM 400. The evolution structural, microstructural and magnetic properties of ball-milled powders at different milling times (t variation from 0 to 32 h) were investigated by X-ray diffraction using the MAUD program which is based on the Rietveld method and the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The XRD results reveal the formation of a bcc-Fe (Al, Mg) solid solution after 8 h of milling possessing a lattice parameter of 0,2895nm after 32 h of milling. It is also observed a refinement of the grain size which reaches 18,75 nm, and an increase in the microstrain after 32 hours of milling. Magnetic measurements of the milled Fe60Al35Mg5 ( wt % ) powder mixture exhibit a soft ferromagnetic character where the magnetic parameters are found to be very sensitive to the milling time mainly due to the particle size refinement as well as the formation of the solid solutions.

Published: March 2023

Herein, a new visible-light active exfoliated g-C3N4/γ-Fe2O3/ZnO yolk-shell nanoparticles (NPs) was synthesized as a magnetically separable photocatalyst. For an in-depth understanding of the magnetic photocatalyst's structural, morphological, and optical properties, the products were extensively characterized with FT-IR, XRD, TEM, FESEM, EDS, VSM, DRS, EIS, and Photocurrent. The photocatalyst was then utilized to degrade Levofloxacin (LEVO) and Indigo Carmine (IC) by visible light at room temperature. The exfoliated g-C3N4/γ-Fe2O3/ZnO yolk-shell NPs photocatalyst revealed 80% and 95.6% degradation efficiency for Levofloxacin and Indigo Carmine within 25 and 15 min, respectively. In addition, the optimal factors such as concentration, loading of photocatalyst and pH was also assessed. Levofloxacin degradation mechanistic studies showed that electrons and holes significantly contribute to the photocatalytic process of photocatalyst degradation. In addition, after 5 times regeneration, exfoliated g-C3N4/γ-Fe2O3/ZnO yolk-shell NPs remained as an excellent magnetic photocatalyst for the environmental-friendly degradation of Levofloxacin and Indigo Carmine (76% and 90%), respectively.
