Polarography was used to determine the cellular respiration rate as a marker of the mitochondrial function of native and de-choreinonized oocytes from fruit flies Drosophila melanogaster following 6-hr exposure in simulated microgravity and hypergravity (2 g). Relative content of cytochrome c and ATP-synthase (blw) were determined using western-blotting. Two types of fly were those collected from the standard nutrient medium and from a medium with added 500 mg/kg of phospholipids with polyunsaturated fatty acids in the grumulus (essential phospholipids).
The findings point to a decrease of the cellular respiration rate in native oocytes at the expense of follicular cells (de-choreinonized oocytes had no change) that took place both in hypergravity (change in complex I in the mitochondrial respiration chain) and simulated microgravity (change in complex II and, probably, complex I). The relative cytochrome c content reduced after exposure in microgravity, while the ATP-synthase content was found reduced following exposure in hypergravity. Essential phospholipids added to the medium reduced the cholesterol content in membrane cells and thus prevented these changes.

We studies changes in the cardiovascular functional parameters and well-being on the background of Earth's magnetic field disturbances. Participants were 19 young females (median age = 19 (16; 26)). The participant profile sheet included information about age, lab data, diseases in the past, smoking, and data of the cardiovascular system investigation using AngioScan-01P. Information about well-being, activity and mood was collected using a validated WAM questionnaire. Level of the geomagnetic field disturbance was calculated by monitoring the Kp- and Ap indices.
Correlation analysis showed significant relations (р < 0.05) between the calculated vascular age and Кр-3 (r = 0.46) and Ap-3 (r = 0.59), smoking (r = 0.61) and WAM score, well-being, specifically (r= -0.51). The WAM total score correlated reliably with Ар-3 (r = -0.5); well-being correlated with the calculated vascular age (r = -0.52), Кр-3 (r = -0.49) and Ар-3 (r = -0.47); the positive smoking status correlated with Kp-3 (r = 0.63) and Ap-3 (r = 0.63). Calculated vascular age of smokers was older –44 (41;49), vs – 33 (30;37), р = 0.01. Comparative analysis of these data showed a decrease of the total WAM score in the period of GMF disturbance.
These findings confirm the negative effect of disturbed GMF on well-being, activity and mood. Among the factors that amplify the effect of particular concern is smoking. Absence of difference in the cardiovascular parameters on the days of quiet and disturbed GMF can be explained by youth and good health of the participants.
Desempenho agronômico da cultura da cebola em função da aplicação de selênio
Authors:   , Paiva Laíza Gomes de
Published: December 2024

O selênio (Se) é um elemento que possui a função antioxidante na eliminação de espécies
reativas de oxigênio, sendo um elemento essencial para os seres humanos. Nas plantas, é
considerado benéfico, pois favorece o crescimento e desenvolvimento, podendo aumentar a
produtividade e a qualidade das culturas. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o
desempenho agronômico e os atributos de qualidade de bulbos de cultivares de cebola em
função da aplicação foliar de selênio. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos
casualizados completos, com tratamentos em esquema fatorial 2 x 5, com quatro repetições.
Os tratamentos foram constituídos pela combinação de duas cultivares de cebola (Andrômeda
e Rio das Antas) e cinco doses de Se (0, 15, 30, 45 e 60 g ha-1). Foram avaliadas
características de crescimento, nutricionais, produtividade e qualidade de bulbos de cebola. A
aplicação de 60 g ha-1 de Se proporcionou maior altura da planta, massa seca das folhas, dos
bulbos e total e maior teor de Se nas folhas e no bulbo. Nessa mesma dose também foram
alcançadas maiores produtividades comercial e total de bulbos na cultivar Rio das Antas, ao
passo que, para Andrômeda, a aplicação de Se não influenciou nas variáveis de produtividade.
Nos atributos de qualidade dos bulbos, a dose 60 g ha-1 de Se aumentou o teor de vitamina C e
diminuiu a atividade antioxidante dos bulbos. Para flavonoides, ocorreu aumento linear nos
bulbos da cv. Rio das Antas e redução, em relação ao controle, para Andrômeda. A
pungência, os açúcares solúveis, os sólidos solúveis, a acidez titulável e a relação SS/AT não
são influenciados pelo Se. Recomenda-se a aplicação de 60 g ha-1 de Se e cultivo da cv. Rio
das Antas para obtenção de maior produtividade e qualidade de bulbos de cebola
Diversidade genética e adaptabilidade de monosporascus e macrophomina isolados de plantas daninhas em áreas de cucurbitáceasDiversidade genética e adaptabilidade de monosporascus e macrophomina isolados de plantas daninhas em áreas de cucurbitáceas

Published: December 2024

O Brasil é o maior produtor mundial de frutas tropicais, com destaque para o melão e a melancia. Muitos são os problemas ocasionados por patógenos radiculares em ambas as culturas. Dentre eles destacamos os fungos dos gêneros Monosporascus e Macrophomina. Plantas daninhas presentes nas áreas de cultivo podem atuar como hospedeiros alternativos desses fungos habitantes do solo. Diante disso, este estudo visa conhecer a diversidade genética e a adaptabilidade de Monosporascus e Macrophomina isolados de plantas daninhas em áreas de cucurbitáceas no Nordeste brasileiro. No primeiro trabalho, uma coleção de 35 isolados de Monosporascus spp. provenientes de raízes de duas espécies de plantas daninhas, prevalentes em campos de cultivo de cucurbitáceas no nordeste brasileiro, Trianthema portulacastrum e Boerhavia diffusa foram utilizados neste estudo. Estes isolados foram identificados com base nas sequências de DNA das regiões dos Espaçadores Internos Transcritos (ITS) do rDNA nuclear, parte do gene do fator de elongação da tradução (tef-1α), parte do gene da β-tubulina (tub), parte do rDNA nuclear de subunidade pequena (SSU) e parte do rDNA nuclear de subunidade grande (LSU). Cinco novas espécies de Monosporascus foram identificadas em nível mundial, sendo M. brasiliensis, M. caatinguensis, M. mossoroensis, M. nordestinus e M. semiaridus. Monosporascus brasiliensis, M. nordestinus e M. semiaridus foram isoladas de ambas as espécies de plantas daninhas, enquanto M. caatinguensis somente de T. portulacastrum e M. mossoroensis apenas de B. diffusa. O presente estudo confirma que Monosporascus spp. pode colonizar raízes de T. portulacastrum e B. diffusa, e revela que existe diversidade de espécies. No segundo trabalho, foi utilizada uma coleção de 94 isolados de Macrophomina spp. obtidos de raízes de T. portulacastrum e B. difusa, onde foram caracterizados utilizando técnicas moleculares e patogenicidade. A análise filogenética do gene tef-1α, amplificado com os primers EF728F e EF986R, permitiu a identificação de 32 isolados como M. phaseolina e 62 isolados como M. pseudophaseolina. Resultados do teste de patogenicidade realizado em mudas de meloeiro 'Gladial' revelaram que ambas as espécies são patogênicas a esta cucurbitácea, tendo M. phaseolina causando uma maior incidência e severidade da doença. Este estudo representa o primeiro relato de M. pseudophaseolina em plantas de T. portulacastrum e B. difusa no Brasil
Derrogação contextual: comentário histórico-jurídico à tendência de revisão da Súmula 347 pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal
Authors: Guandalini Junior Walter
Published: December 2024

Desde o início do século o Supremo Tribunal Federal tem procedido a uma paulatina revisão da sua Súmula 347, editada em 1963 para consolidar o entendimento de que o Tribunal de Contas possuía competência para apreciar a constitucionalidade de leis e atos do Poder Público. A súmula permanece válida e vigente, o que indica não haver dúvidas, ao menos de caráter formal, quanto à constitucionalidade da competência atribuída ao órgão fiscalizador. No entanto, nos últimos vinte anos diversas decisões do STF têm questionado a abrangência da súmula, levantando dúvidas acerca da subsistência do entendimento sob o novo regime da Constituição de 1988. Partindo de um esforço de compreensão histórico-contextual dos momentos de elaboração e de revisão da Súmula, o presente trabalho sustenta a hipótese de que a própria emergência do debate é resultado de uma derrogação contextual: na medida em que o desenvolvimento do processo histórico promove a transformação da mentalidade jurídica em que se insere a norma estabelecida, promove também a sua derrogação implícita, por sua incompatibilidade com a nova concepção de ordenamento jurídico emergente.
¿Existe un derecho subjetivo a la vivienda en el Derecho Español?
Authors: Lago José Manuel Busto
Published: December 2024

O artigo analisa criticamente o novo contexto regulatório do direito à moradia na Espanha, com especial atenção à Lei 12/2023. O texto examina se esta lei estabelece efetivamente um direito subjetivo à moradia, concluindo que não configura tal direito de forma direta. Destaca-se a abordagem da lei sobre a propriedade imobiliária, ressaltando sua concepção estatutária e a ênfase na função social da moradia. O estudo aprofunda-se nas condições básicas estabelecidas pela norma e sua relação com os deveres constitucionais vinculados à habitação. A análise propõe uma perspectiva inovadora sobre como a legislação espanhola compreende e regula o direito à moradia, questionando o alcance real das garantias legais e enfatizando aspectos estruturais e sociais da propriedade habitacional, sem configurar um direito subjetivo individual direto.

Aproveito a celebração do sexto workshop da rede Hélöise para apresentar os resultados parciais de um projeto de pesquisa cujo objeto é o estudo quantitativo do doutorado em Direito na universidade liberal espanhola, de forma que se possa valorar melhor a relevância desse título na arquitetura pós-revolucionária do ensino superior. Junto a Aurora Miguel Alonso, diretora do projeto, levo anos realizando um catálogo dos discursos ou teses doutorais; pelo qual tivemos de recorrer distintos arquivos e bibliotecas, e depurar os dados uma ou outra vez. Como se depreende do que foi dito, as dificuldades não foram pequenas, pois se trata de um material disperso, que nem sempre se encontra adequadamente conservado ou catalogado, ao que não se há dado a importância que tem como fonte para conhecer, dentre outras coisas, as polêmicas e interesses doutrinais daquele momento.
El proceso de tutorías y su necesidad impostergable en las universidades. Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad Autónoma de Guerrero
Authors: Garibay Smirna Romero , Durán Rosalía Pastor , Ramos Perla Elizabeth Ventura , Cárdenas Juliana Solis
Published: December 2024

La presente investigación versa sobre el proceso de tutorías. La orientación y la acción tutorial constituyen uno de los instrumentos más potentes para facilitar la transición a la universidad y promocionar a los estudiantes en la Educación Superior. Tuvo como objetivo describir el proceso de tutoría en la especialidad de Derecho desde las perspectivas de los tutores y los estudiantes. Se aborda desde un diseño descriptivo y transversal, con enfoque analítico mixto. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 100 estudiantes y 15 profesores tutores. Los resultados revelan que, tanto estudiantes como profesores están descontentos con el proceso de tutoría porque existen problemas en relación a la organización de las tutorías, con horarios de atención reducidos, incompatibilidad horaria con otras actividades académicas o no académicas, falta de presencia de los tutores en los horarios correspondientes, escaso desarrollo de la tutoría, con algunas sesiones al inicio de curso, pero una frecuencia y continuidad inferior a la deseable para responder a las necesidades del alumnado. Se concluye que, el proceso de tutorías se caracteriza por ser asistemático, inestable y desorganizado. El área personal es la menos orientada y los profesores argumentan no tener los recursos necesarios para poder ejercerlas de manera adecuada.
Uma crítica à dissociação entre teoria e prática jurídica
Authors: Silva Ramon Isaac Saldanha de Azevedo e , Lanzillo Anderson Souza da Silva
Published: December 2024

Este estudo examina a dicotomia entre teoria e prática no direito, tema debatido por filósofos e juristas ao longo do tempo. A pesquisa foca na distinção entre conhecimento teórico e prático, com a questão central: “A dogmática da ciência jurídica é diferente da prática jurídica?”. Utilizando uma abordagem qualitativa e hipotético-dedutiva, o estudo investiga a (in)existência de distinções mínimas entre teoria e prática e suas repercussões no direito, além de analisar a relação entre as fontes do direito e essa distinção. A hipótese inicial é que teoria e prática são indissociáveis no direito. A pesquisa destaca a importância de compreender como a teoria jurídica orienta a prática, sublinhando a necessidade de uma aplicação das leis que seja tanto rigorosa quanto adaptável. Os resultados indicam que as fontes do direito são predominantemente dogmáticas, e que o costume, embora empírico, precisa de linguagem jurídica para ter efeito. Conclui-se que prática e teoria são inseparáveis no direito, pois a teoria é a única que produz efeitos jurídicos. Qualquer prática que desconsidere as fontes do direito é vista como uma deturpação jurídica.
Os extremos da história: sobre a representação literária da Vendeia nos escritos de Chateaubriand, Victor Hugo e Euclides da Cunha
Authors: Huszar Attila
Published: December 2024

Through the analysis of the treatment of the historical event of the wars in the Vendée and, connected to these, the French Revolution in the literary texts of Euclides da Cunha, Victor Hugo and François-René de Chateaubriand, we hope to explore the depiction of interpretation of the historic process in literary texts. In those texts, these interpretations can be found between extreme ideological positions, which seem to be affirmed and denied by the literary text at the same time, thus creating a vision of history particular to the language of the literary text.
Islamic Factor in the Cultural Policy of Iran (1979–2023)
Authors:   Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kameneva Marina Samuilovna
Published: December 2024

The article is based on the author's speech at the Round table "Religious Contexts of Modern Poli-tics" delivered at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences in late 2023. The article notes the significance of culture and cultural policy as important components of the state-political and ideological doctrine of the Islamic Republic of Iran and examines the role of Islam in their formation and transformation for nearly half a century of the state's existence. As evidenced by the analysis of factual material, the changes in the content of the concept of "Iranian culture" and cultural policy have historically coincided with the assumption of power by a new president and the government headed by him. The only exception is the first decade after the Islamic Revolution, which is traditionally associated with the name of Imam Khomeini. At the same time, it is shown that three main factors play a role in these changes – Islamic, Iranian and Western.
Analysis of the situation in Iran’s cultural discourse shows that Iran’s culture and cultural policy pursued have gone from the absolutization of their Islamic component (under R. Khomeini) to the gradual inclusion of the Iranian component proper. This process began during the reign of A. A. Hashemi. H. Rafsanjani and M. Khatami, was continued under M. Ahmadinejad and reached its maximum under H. Rouhani. At the same time, there was growing understanding of the need to establish cultural contacts with the West, however certainly limited ones. However, the cultural pol-icy under President E. Raisi is a return to the hyperbolization of the Islamic factor and a negative attitude towards the Western cultural values. The death of President E. Raisi in May 2024, the elec-tion of a new president of the country, reformer M. Pezeshkian’ assumption of power pose many questions to Iranian society, including in the sphere of the cultural policy of the new Iranian gov-ernment.
Access to Safe Drinking Water: Does Specific Transfer and Good Governance Matter?
Authors: Martino Yossi , Qibthiyyah Riatu Mariatul
Published: December 2024

The National Medium-Term Development Plan for 2020-2024 aims to provide 100% of residents with access to safe drinking water. However, according to Central Bureau of Statistics, the average of residents with access to safe drinking water is still at 92% in 2022. Attaining this goal is difficult without focusing on fiscal transfer policy and governance. This study explores the relationship between fiscal transfer and good governance toward access to safe drinking water in each district/city in Indonesia using 2019-2022 data from The Socioeconomics Survey, Central Bureau of Statistics, Ministry of Finance, and Ministry of State Apparatus Utilization and Bureaucratic Reform. The regression of panel data using a fixed effect model shows that specific-purpose capital grants for drinking water and good governance significantly have a positive impact on access to safe drinking water. These results indicate that specific-purpose capital grants still hold a crucial role in providing access to safe drinking water. Meanwhile, good governance is also a key factor in obtaining optimal outcomes in safe drinking water. In the western region of Indonesia, good governance and poor governance have a stronger effect on access to safe drinking water yet specific-purpose capital grant in the eastern region have a higher impact.
The Effect of Inhaled Beta-2 Agonists on Heart Rate in Patients With Asthma: Sensor-Based Observational Study
Authors: Khusial Rishi Jayant , Sont Jacob K , Usmani Omar S , Bonini Matteo , Chung Kian Fan , Fowler Stephen James , Honkoop Persijn J
Published: December 2024

Background

Beta-2 agonists play an important role in the management of asthma. Inhaled long-acting beta-2 agonists (LABAs) and short-acting beta-2 agonists (SABAs) cause bronchodilation by stimulating adrenoceptors. These receptors are also present in cardiac cells and, as a side effect, could also be stimulated by inhaled beta-2 agonists.

Objective

This study aims to assess the effect of beta-2 agonists on heart rate (HR).

Methods

The data were retrieved from an observational study, the myAirCoach Quantification Campaign. Beta-2 agonist use was registered by self-reported monthly questionnaires and by smart inhalers. HR was monitored continuously with the Fitbit Charge HR tracker (Fitbit Inc). Patients (aged 18 years and older) were recruited if they had uncontrolled asthma and used inhalation medication. Our primary outcome was the difference in HR between LABA and non-LABA users. Secondary outcomes were the difference in HR on days SABAs were used compared to days SABAs were not used and an assessment of the timing of inhaler use during the day.

Results

Patients using LABA did not have a clinically relevant higher HR (average 0.8 beats per minute difference) during the day. Around the moment of SABA inhalation itself, the HR does increase steeply, and it takes 138 minutes before it returns to the normal range.

Conclusions

This study indicates that LABAs do not have a clinically relevant effect on HR. SABAs are instead associated with a short-term HR increase.

Enhancing HIV Cognitive Abilities and Self-Management Through Information Technology–Assisted Interventions: Scoping Review
Authors: Huang Hao , Xie MeiLian , Yang Zhen , Wang AiPing
Published: December 2024

Background

HIV/AIDS remains a significant global challenge, and with the rapid advancement of technology, there has been an increasing number of interventions aimed at improving HIV/AIDS cognition and self-management behaviors among patients. However, there is still a lack of detailed literature integrating relevant evidence.

Objective

This study aims to comprehensively review existing research on interventions using modern information methods to improve HIV/AIDS cognition and enhance self-management behaviors among patients. It systematically reports the theoretical frameworks and specific intervention strategies used in current research, providing a comprehensive overview of the development status of relevant studies. We aim to compile existing evidence through this scoping review to identify potential avenues for future research.

Methods

We followed the scoping review framework proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute for the synthesis and reporting of evidence. Relevant literature was searched using electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library. The time frame for inclusion was from 2018 to December 1, 2023. Inclusion criteria were (1) interventions using modern information technology or new digital media, (2) studies focusing on improving HIV awareness or self-management behaviors among people living with HIV, (3) intervention studies or evaluations of intervention effects, and (4) studies published within the last five years. Two reviewers (HH and MX) independently assessed each study at both the title and abstract screening stage and the full-text review stage, resolving any disagreements through discussion.

Results

A total of 55 studies that met the inclusion criteria were included. The Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills model, Social Cognitive Theory, Health Belief Model, Theory of Planned Behavior, and Information Systems Research Framework are among the most commonly used theoretical frameworks. Modern information technology interventions are mainly constructed using smartphone apps, SMS text messaging, internet-based platforms, audiovisual materials, and digital health education platforms, with smartphone apps and SMS text messaging being the most widely used intervention media.

Conclusions

Modern information technology is becoming an important tool for health interventions among people living with HIV/AIDS. However, future research should focus on integrating theoretical framework guidance with intervention design, further exploring the diversity of intervention implementations, the applicability of different technological methods, their long-term effects, and how to more effectively combine traditional intervention strategies to maximize intervention outcomes.

BACKGROUND

Telemedicine is an effective and promising strategy, especially for the initial stages of a home-based therapeutic exercise program.

OBJECTIVE

We conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness and sustainability of the intervention.

METHODS

The study design was a parallel randomized controlled trial. The participants were randomly paired and assigned to control and intervention groups. Patients assigned to the intervention group received online instruction in Tai Chi exercises three times a week for 12 weeks under the guidance of a physical therapist. The intervention group was asked to use the Tencent conference application, which provided online video instruction on Tai Chi exercises. Participants in the control group received a written Tai Chi exercise program and recommendations on a sheet of paper. All data were measured and recorded at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention. The primary outcome indicator was HbA1c levels at 12 weeks post-intervention. Secondary outcome indicators were waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG), 2-hour Plasma Glucose (2hPG), Salivary cortisol, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index （PQSI）,and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

RESULTS

After 12 weeks, FPG (P＜0.05), 2h PG (P < 0.01), and HbA1C levels (P＜0.05) were significantly lower in the intervention group compared with baseline.

CONCLUSIONS

Providing patients with remote Tai Chi exercise intervention therapy may help improve outcomes for women with overweight or obese T2DM. In this exploratory study, the Tai Chi group consistently outperformed the control group on most endpoints.

Authors: Hartland Nicole , Chen Emily , Reynolds Rosemary
Published: December 2024

Since 2020, UK Parliament has moved towards cloud-based ways of working and collaboration, with colleagues across both Houses increasingly storing and sharing most of their information in Microsoft SharePoint. In response to this shift, the Parliamentary Archives sought to establish an end-to-end process to transfer information of archival value out of SharePoint and into the Digital Repository. Three challenges, unique to the cloud-based and collaborative nature of this environment, arose: defining the authoritative version, extracting files from the cloud with properties and metadata intact, and validating and authenticating files in the cloud. This brief report outlines the Parliamentary Archives efforts to explore and test the transfer and authentication of archival data from the cloud and into their digital repository with a focus on building trust and transparency.

Published: December 2024

Sociolinguistic competence is the understanding of social and cultural usage and discourse norms that apply to various
languages. The study aimed to assess the respondents’ level of social and cultural awareness to know their level of
sociolinguistic competence. The descriptive correlational research method was used to determine their level of social awareness,
cultural awareness, and their sociolinguistic competence awareness. The result revealed that there is a significant difference
between the respondents’ sociolinguistic competence awareness in year level and age, however, no significant difference in terms
of course, there is a significant difference between the respondents’ level of social awareness in year level and course, however,
no significant difference in terms of age, and it is indicated that there is a significant difference between the respondents’ level of
cultural awareness in year level and course, however, no significant difference in terms of age. Hence, the level of sociolinguistic
competence awareness depends on the level of awareness to social and cultural aspects of language. With this, there is a need for
the students to be aware of their differences in social and cultural aspects of language to develop their level of sociolinguistic
competence awareness. Students have to recognize how they use language, adjust their linguistic terms to connect with different
culture, and address others with socially appropriate language.

inadequate in providing real-time data and comprehensive coverage, impeding effective conservation efforts. Moreover, budget
constraints and the absence of automation further exacerbate these challenges. In response, our project proposes an innovative
solution that seamlessly integrates deep learning and instant messaging technologies, fostering affordable and continuous
surveillance. By harnessing edge computing and freely available messaging channels, our system aims to significantly enhance
real-time visibility and data-driven decision-making in conservation. The primary goal is to empower conservationists with timely
and actionable information for informed decision-making. Through the deployment of advanced deep learning algorithms, our
system can recognize and track wildlife activity, triggering instant notifications to forest officers and relevant stakeholders via
instant messaging platforms.

Within the primary tumors of the chest wall, sarcomas are the most frequent malignant tumors and can be generated from the cartilage of the ribs, the intercostal muscles, the soft tissues and finally from the bones such as the ribs, the sternum, the shoulder blade or clavicle. Surgical resection of chest wall resections remains the primary treatment for isolated chest wall disease.
Quasi-classical Limit of a Spin Coupled to a Reservoir
Authors: Correggi Michele , Falconi Marco , Fantechi Michele , Merkli Marco
Published: December 2024

A spin (qubit) is in contact with a bosonic reservoir. The state of the reservoir contains a parameter ε interpolating between quantum and classical reservoir features. We derive the explicit expression for the time-dependent reduced spin density matrix, valid for all values of ε and for energy conserving interactions. We study decoherence and markovianity properties. Our main finding is that the spin decoherence is enhanced (full decoherence) when the spin is coupled to quantum reservoir states while it is dampened (partial decoherence) when coupled to classical reservoir states. The markovianity properties depend in a subtle way on the classicality parameter ε and on the finer details of the spin-reservoir interaction. We further examine scattering and periodicity properties for energy exchange interactions.
Jēzus tēla interpretācijas Velgas Kriles lugā “Vai jūs baiļojāties, jūs, mazticīgie”
Authors: Barovskis Ingus
Published: December 2024

Raksta uzmanības centrā ir latviešu dzejnieces un dramaturģes Velgas Kriles luga “Vai jūs baiļojāties, jūs, mazticīgie”, kura uzrakstīta 1980. gadā un pirmo reizi publicēta 1999. gadā. Lugā V. Krile izmanto Jaunās Derības fragmentus, lai interpretētu un pārinterpretētu Jēzu, balstoties idejā, ka Jēzus ir cilvēks, kas izvēlas būt sabiedrības varonis. V. Kriles tēlotais Dievs ir nežēlīgs un nezinošs, vienaldzīgs pret cilvēces problēmām. Kriles Jēzus pirmām kārtām ir cilvēks, bet cilvēki var un vēlas būt varoņi. Autore pievēršas jautājumam par to, vai sabiedrībai vispār ir vajadzīgi varoņi un kādam jābūt cilvēkam, lai par tādu kļūtu, secinot, ka varonības ideja ir teātris, ko cilvēki rāda dievības priekšā.
Predictive modelling of social capital among library workers: a machine learning approach
Authors: (Corresponding Author) Maja Wojciechowska , Topolski Mariusz
Published: December 2024

Social capital is an important asset for the development of communities, including communities linked to specific types of libraries. Despite numerous studies, no models dedicated to measuring this specific area have been developed yet. The paper proposes a model predicting the level of social capital among library workers with the use of machine learning methods. Its purpose is to identify the attributes that determine the level of social capital in a given community in order to enable the development of key areas. The model may be adapted for use in other groups, e.g. among library users or library non-users, in order to analyse social capital in the entire local community.
The academic librarians' empowerment and engagement as research partners: a qualitative study
Authors: Rabasa Talatu , (Corresponding Author) A. Abrizah
Published: December 2024

Academic librarians are seen as information providers, even where their provision is beyond the simple rule of providing access to information. This perception had not changed in Nigeria, even when academic librarians were accorded academic status and adopted an embedded librarianship model, which allows them to collaborate with the faculty. The need arises for how optimal the academic librarians can partner with faculty members in research. As a result, this study explored the source of academic librarians' engagement with their work role and empowerment for effective participation and collaboration, and enhance performance. The study employed a qualitative approach and purposively sampled 21 academic librarians from a major university in Nigeria. Data were generated through focus group discussions and interviews. The findings were structured around six (6) sources of empowerment themes and four (4) sources of engagement themes. Since this is the first study in Nigeria that articulates a manifestation of academic librarians as research partners, it has provided academic librarians with the necessary authority to enhance their performance in a research partnership and has paved the way for further research.
Deep Canine Topography: Re-connecting with the wild through the artistic practice of walking with companion animals.
Authors: Darren O'Brien
Published: December 2024

Operating at the intersection of fine art walking practice, psychogeography, critical animal studies and ecology, the practice of Deep Canine Topography seeks to reframe the humble act of the ‘walkies’ as a co-authored, multi-species act of ‘making’ and ‘performing’ together.

This exposition operates as a central point from which to explore a number of mini expositions, undertaken as part of my practice based PhD.

Instruction:

When you arrive at the page you can use the map legends as hyperlinks to navigate to random points, or the mouse/trackpad to move around the page. Alternatively, you can navigate the page via the page map in the collapsible header menu.

An accompanying soundscape will automatically play throughout and documents a single walk from the human sonic POV. You can leave this to play whilst exploring the canine POV videos or pause it if you wish.

Click on the videos to play and again to stop. You can play more than one at a time.

X returns to the map.

This central Exposition acts as a meeting point through which to explore various experiments in Deep Canine Topography. Titled hyperlinks navigate to individual mini expositions. Each mini exposition has a route back to the landing page via the round MAP link.

You may feel lost or disorientated at times, but don't worry, this is all part of the process of navigation and hopefully offers a playful interactive and performative meander.

Deciphering Persian Music: A Systematic Approach Through Modal Classification and Synthesis
Authors: Bamdad Khoshghadami Hosseini  , Soroosh Ghahramanloo
Published: December 2024

This research aims to develop a comprehensive notation system for Persian music that supports improvisation, composition, and analysis of its modal aspects. By drawing parallels to how chord symbols function in jazz, the study introduces a system to denote pitch classes (maqām) and melodic contours (māyeh). Utilizing historical methodologies from Safī al-Dīn al-Urmawī's "Kitāb-i Advār", the research presents an innovative framework to represent modal cycles and microtonal nuances. As a case study, the 'Radif' of persian music is decoded and presented using this new system, demonstrating its practical application. The outcome is a detailed, practical guide that enhances the understanding and performance of Persian music, illustrated through examples of Setar improvisation and comparative analysis of melodic figures.

Operating at the intersection of fine art walking practice, psychogeography, critical animal studies and ecology, the practice of Deep Canine Topography seeks to reframe the humble act of the ‘walkies’ as a co-authored act of ‘making’ or ‘performing’ together.

As part of the practice based element of my PhD thesis, Deep Canine Topography, 10 - 10 - 10 Edge-lands, is a further investigation of the methodologies of Deep Canine Topography (O'Brien & O'Brien 2018). This series operates as a visual and sonic essay for each walk and explores memory, deep topographical imprints, and entropy between wild and post-industrial spaces and sub-urban sprawl, on the edge of the city of Leicester and the county of Leicestershire. During the 2020 Covid 19 pandemic lockdown, as part of permitted exercise, we undertook 10 Walks, of up to 10 miles, within a 10 mile circle of our home, just outside of the city centre. Covid 19 restrictions, remained in place in Leicester longer than in any other UK city or region.

Each title will take you to a different walk.

Empirically Estimated Impacts of Climate Change on Global Crop Production via Increasing Precipitation–Evapotranspiration Extremes
Authors:   Asian Development Bank, Raitzer David , Drouard Joeffrey ,   Université Côte d’Azur
Published: December 2024

To assess climate change effects on crop yields, remote sensing-derived yield and agrometeorological reanalysis data are used to construct a panel at 0.1-degree resolution for 2003–2015.
Regressions controlling for grid cell-specific intercepts and time trends, temperature, rainfall, and cloudiness estimate the subregional relationships between yields and precipitation-evapotranspiration extremes for rice, wheat, and maize. Results imply that climate change will cause global yield reductions for all crops, with losses highest for wheat and maize, especially in South Asia and Southern Africa.
A sustainable approach to new generation food thickeners
Authors: Adamska Agata , Wielguszewska Aleksandra Izabela
Published: December 2024

In the 8th Environment Action Programme, the EU agreed on an environmental policy up to 2030 with a zero-emission ambition. The food production sector is credited with a significant impact on environmental pollution: e.g. agriculture accounts for 70% of global freshwater use. Therefore, it is extremely important to promote technological solutions that reduce the negative impact of food production to an absolute minimum. A perfect example of sustainable approach is a patented method that uses extrusion to produce functional food fibres that act as food thickeners.
The extrusion process is carried out by combining thermal and mechanical stresses without the use of chemicals. The material for the study was an apple fibre preparation (named Lutkala Multifunctional). The possibilities of using the product are wide. The paper presents the use of the Lutkala Multifunctional burgers made of beef, pork and vegetables based on pea protein. The following methods were used: gravimetric method to calculate weight loss and shape stability during heat treatment, texture profile according to Texturometer TA.XT2 and colour measurement.
The use of Lutkala in meat products gives a number of benefits: technological (reduced water loss during thermal processing), organoleptic (obtaining a more delicate consistency), health (increased fibre content and reduced calories), and also gives the advantage of a clean label product and has a positive impact on the environment.
