Chapurreau: Breve historia conceptual de una etiqueta lingüística
Authors: Casasnovas Gabriel Sanz
Published: November 2023

The participle form of the Spanish verb chapurrear ’to speak a language badly‘ is registered in some regions of Spain – Asturias, León, Extremadura, Aragon – as a glossonym through which speakers of minority languages name their mother tongue. This
article provides the first academic approach to the conceptual history of chapurreau. By focusing on the example of Ribagorça (Aragon, Northeastern Spain), it is shown that i) the glossonym derives from a verb champurrar ’to debase a liquor‘, attested since
the 17th century; and ii) between 1750–1800, the verb acquired a figurative meaning which was spread not only by Spanish central administration – as it was thought–, but also by Catalan writers from the 1840s onward.

Authors: Al-Lami Makarim Q. , Al-Tai Qais H. , Al-Ani Intisar Y.
Published: November 2023

Background: Although the issue of anemia after renal transplantation (RT) has received increasing attention lately, the data on the exact prevalence of post-transplantation anemia (PTA) in the Iraqi patients are limited.Objective: In this study we sought to determine the prevalence of PTA among Iraqi patients and to correlate the renal allograft function measurements and the use of immunosuppressant with the prevalence of anemia.Patients and Methods: One hundred and twelve (74 male, 38 female) kidney transplant recipients (KTR) attending the kidney transplant center at surgical specialties hospital were studied. All patients were on maintenance, combined immunosuppressive therapy. The renal function tests [blood urea, serum creatinine, and creatinine clearance] and the hematological tests [Hb, HTC, and white blood cell count (WBC)] were determined in all patients. Anemia was defined according to the genderspecific K/DOQI classification.Results: In this study, we identified anemia (Hb < 12 g/dl in males and Hb < 11 g/dl in females) in 25% of the patients (28 out of 112).The anemic patients had a significantly higher mean blood urea and serum creatinine levels and lower mean creatinine clearance level than the non-anemic patients. Among the immunosuppressant drugs, patients on tacrolimus combined with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) had significantly lower Hb and HTC compared with patients without such treatment.Conclusion: Anemia is common in Iraqi patients after RT. The PTA is associated with impaired renal allograft function when compared with non-anemic RTR. Immunosuppressant including tacrolimus combined with MMF was correlated with decreased Hb and HTC concentrations.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia: hospital based study
Authors: Alzubaidi Munib A.
Published: November 2023

Background: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a family of autosomal recessive disorders of cortisol biosynthesis. Depending on the enzymatic step that is deficient, there may be signs, symptoms, and laboratory findings of mineralocorticoid deficiency or excess; incomplete virilization or premature puberty in affected males; and virilization or sexual infantilism in affected females. The most frequent is 21-hydroxylase enzyme deficiency, accounting for more than 90% of cases.Objectives: to review cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia registered in children welfare teaching hospital- medical city- Baghdad.Patients and method: This study included all patients who were presented and registered in the endocrine clinic of the children welfare teaching hospital- medical city complex as a case of congenital adrenal hyperplasia from the 1st of January 1990 till the 1st of Jun 2009. Demographic informations together with epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic data of the patients were collected.Results: The total number of patients was 60 patients with mean age (6.321) +/- (3.996) SD and male to female ratio of 2:3. Seventy percent of patients presented within the 1st 6 months of life, 61.9% of them were females. Thirty-one (51.7%) patients were delivered in the hospital including 72% of those who were presented within the 1st month. Forty six (76.7%) patients were presented with ambiguous genitalia with or without other presentations, 8 (13.3%) patients presented with salt losing only and 6(10%) patients presented with pseudo precocious puberty with or without other presentations. Consanguinity between the parents was present in 86.7% of patients, 33.3% of patients had positive family history of similar condition, 36.7% of patients had positive family history of neonatal death due to dehydration or abortion and only 3.3% of patients had history of hormonal therapy during pregnancy. Twenty two (36.7%) patients were reared with false sex, 95.5% of them were females reared as males, 33.3% of them accept to change their names & sex of rearing to definitive sex asfemales and one male (4.5%) patient reared as female had change his name and sex to male. Seventy percent of patients were diagnosed as 21 hydroxylase deficiency, both salt loser (71.4%) and non salt loser (28.6%), (10%) as 11 hydroxylase deficiency, (18.3%) as 3β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency both salt loser (54.5%) and non salt loser (45.5%) and (1.7%) as17 hydroxylase deficiency.Conclusions: The commonest form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia in Iraq is 21 hydroxylase deficiencies. There was delay in the diagnosis in spite of hospital delivery, and this may lead to psycho-social problems for the patients and their families regarding changing the sex of rearing. Many patients having genital anomalies did not operate upon yet.
From transformations to the notion of time
Authors: Hadad Cacier
Published: November 2023

In this paper I expose an ontological-existential interpretation of time via its unveiling and analysis in an example of scientific measurement in a chemical transformation. I begin with the search for time in the transformation, and little by little I explain its characteristics and structures. I finally interpret the time involved in the measurement and the usual concept of linear time by means of the Heidegger's concept of temporality (originary time). The paper is an attempt to explain Heidegger's existential ontology to non-specialist thinkers interested in understanding the subject of time from approaches different from those of their field, as may be the case of many contemporary scientists. For this reason, it develops the ideas step by step and in an expository way, but gradually entering the precise and rigorous Heideggerian terminology necessary for the temporal analysis. Finally, it should be noted that this work contains novel interpretations of several of the ideas and expressions of Heidegger's thought.
The correlation of classic and experimental measurement results with quantum measurement theory
Authors: Krechmer Ken
Published: November 2023

In classic measurement theory each physical measurement result has a precision which becomes infinitesimal as noise and distortion approach zero, i. e., exact repetitive measurement results (± a Planck) are theoretically possible. This classic measurement theory is not well correlated with experimental measurement results. When noise and distortion are minimized, repetitive experimental measurement results always display a Gaussian distribution. This paper first addresses experimental measurements by developing a formal measurement function and related definitions. The formal measurement function identifies that an exact repetitive classic measurement result is not possible in theory as well as in experiments. This new measurement function is then shown to explain the existing quantum measurement problems.
On Qubits and Quantum Information Technologies
Authors: Li Guang-Liang
Published: November 2023

The basic assumption underlying various quantum information technologies, such as quantum computation and quantum communication, is that qubits are physical objects. However, this assumption is false. A qubit is a quantum superposition, which is a purely mathematical entity in a Hilbert space for description of a two-level quantum system. There is no theoretical or experimental evidence for quantum superpositions in general, and for qubits in particular, having physical counterparts in the real world, although quantum systems themselves are all physical objects. Nevertheless, quantum superpositions failing to be physical objects does not necessarily imply quantum mechanics failing to be correct. Hilbert spaces differ essentially from the three-dimensional Euclidean space; the latter is the model of space in which we live and measure physical quantities. Associated with time or space coordinates, measurements of all quantum systems must be performed in the real world. However, precise time and space coordinates are not attainable by measurement. Based on a comparison between the Euclidean space and Hilbert spaces, this paper shows that no quantum systems in the real world can realize qubits, and hence, quantum information technologies are not physically realizable; their so-called advantages over classical information technologies make little sense.
Acoustic Over-Exposure in the Institutional Land Use of Calabar Metropolitan Area, Cross River State, Nigeria
Authors: Obiefuna Josiah Nwabueze
Published: November 2023

Every tertiary institution is meant to be a centre of excellence in terms of academic activities as well as an enabling environment to achieve such. However, many of these academic settings have turned into activity hubs of varying natures of land uses, which daily generate high acoustic levels. The study comparatively assessed noise levels across the two major tertiary institutions in Calabar metropolis, Nigeria. The objectives were to identify institutional sources of noise, perform a comparative analysis of noise levels across tertiary institutions in Calabar metropolis, as well as render viable measures for reducing the incidence and effects of noise levels in tertiary institutions within Calabar metropolis. Sound level data were acquired using BK Precision 732 Digital Sound Level Meters. Analysis was done using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique. From the test, the ‘F’ value calculated (2.74) is greater than the ‘F’ tabulated (1.86), which implies that there is a significant variation in noise levels within the University of Calabar and the University of Cross River State. Observations show that generator noise, socio-economic activities, extracurricular activities within tertiary institutions, traffic within and outside the school premises, and business outlets within the study locations are the main sources of noise pollution within the institutions. It was therefore recommended that university authorities should zone/allocate land uses to activities that are similar to each other so as to avoid land use conflicts and incompatibilities. Moreover, land uses that are not compatible with the university environment should be eliminated. University authorities should help reduce the total number of generating sets within the school premises by allocating one generating set which will serve all business operations within the school premises, and such should be away from lecture venues and other offices.

Published: November 2023

The utilization of the Internet propels information technology and significantly enhances e-service quality criteria fulfillment. Customers have indicated their discontent with the fulfillment of e-service quality and customer trust, despite the banking industry’s continued process advancements. Customers are hesitant to utilize Internet banking as a result. In this study, the E-S-QUAL model and the interpersonal trust model were used to examine the impact of Internet banking fulfilment on consumer trust. In order to gather data for this study using a quantitative research approach, a structured questionnaire was employed. Data analysis methods included SPSS and PLS-SEM. The outcome demonstrates that Internet banking fulfillment has a substantial influence on consumer trust. According to this study, customer trust is impacted by how well internet banking works. Because these services tend to complete transactions on time, it has been shown that online banking completion has a substantial influence on consumers’ confidence. It was recommended that banks make every effort to simplify and improve the use of their systems. Due to a language barrier, customers shouldn’t be unable to perform online transactions.
Contraction of Moving Bodies as an Electrodynamic Effect
Authors: Onoochin Vladimir
Published: November 2023

In this article, the change of dimensions of uniformly moving rigid bodies is considered as a physical effect. The macroscopic change of the body dimensions is caused by the displacement of equilibrium points of ions of the crystal lattice due to the change of the interatomic potential. Some applications of the obtained results to the interpretation of the Michelson-Morley and Kennedy-Thorndike experiments are considered.

This effect can create great difficulties in the way to accelerate macroscopic bodies (space-ships, for example) to subluminal velocities.
The study of the collection of rose essential oil on a complex of economically valuable indicators
Authors: Zolotilov Viktor , Nevkrytaya Natal'ya , Zolotilova Ol'ga , Pashteckiy Vladimir
Published: November 2023

Abstract. The article presents the results of the study of essential oil-bearing rose samples according to the most valuable indicators. The purpose of the current research was twofold: characterize essential-oil-bearing rose collection in terms of the morphobiological parameters and economically valuable traits; identify samples promising for selection. Research methods. Analysis of essential-oil-bearing rose samples was carried out according to the methodological guidelines for essential oil crops in 2017–2020. Under field and laboratory conditions, we analyzed such indicators as flowering time, winter hardiness, budding ability, flower weight, essential oil content in inflorescences. Statistical processing of the data obtained was carried out. Results. The essential-oil-bearing rose collection nursery was laid in 2012 at the experimental site of the Department of Aromatic and Medicinal Plants located in the foothill zone of Crimea (Krymskaya Roza vill., Belogorskiy district). Significant variability of the flower weight and mass fraction of essential oil (Cv = 24.6…36.3 %) was noted. The dependence of the main indicators on meteorological conditions during the period of active vegetation of plants was analyzed. It was found that extremely high temperature regime and insufficient rainfall in April–May reduced the duration of flowering in the essential-oil-bearing rose collection, on average, by 3–5 days. It was noted that, despite the differences in the response of samples to weather conditions, the leading factor determining the level of essential oil accumulation in inflorescences is genotype. According to the complex or individual valuable indicators, we identified 14 best specimens, seven of which were with the highest content of essential oil in inflorescences (0.030–0.049 %). Scientific novelty. For the first time, a one-time detailed study of the collection was conducted according to a set of valuable traits. The collection comprises 50 specimens including five varieties of Crimean breeding (originator – Research Institute of Agriculture of Crimea) and five – from Bulgaria. The information obtained will allow selecting samples that are promising as source material for breeding, as well as predicting the expected productivity of essential-oil-bearing rose varieties under specific weather conditions of the region.
Distribution, diagnosis and prevention of nosematosis in bees
Authors: Pashayan Susanna Arestovna , Sidorova Klavdiya Aleksandrovna , Kalashnikova Marina Viktorovna
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Nosema is an infectious disease caused by the microsporidia Nosema cerana and Nosema apis. Adult bees get sick, as a result of which the family weakens and dies. Spores of N. cerana and N. apis, when infecting bees, penetrate into the middle section of the intestine, where the development of vegetative forms of pathogens occurs. The latter predominate in the epithelial cells of the mucous membrane of this part of the intestine and feed on their protoplasm. As a result, epithelial cells die off, as a result of which the intestine loses its functional activity, leading to the weariness of the bees. Families with nosematosis weaken, lose viability, and eventually die. Therefore, the development of measures to combat nosematosis is relevant. The purpose of the study was to study the spread of nosematosis in bees in the conditions of the Northern Trans-Urals and the development of therapeutic and preventive measures. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set: determine the epizootological state of apiaries located in different natural and climatic zones in the south of the Tyumen region; to establish the effectiveness of therapeutic and preventive measures against nosematosis using herbal remedies. Methods. The work was carried out in the apiaries of the Tyumen region and in the IBiVM laboratory. In order to create an epizootic state of apiaries, bees were sampled in the apiaries of the southern taiga, subtaiga and forest-steppe climatic zones of the Northern Trans-Urals. Adult bees were selected for the study (in the amount of at least 10 % of the total number of bee colonies in each apiary). Experimental work was carried out in accordance with the “Methodological guidelines for setting up experiments in beekeeping” and “Methods for conducting research work in beekeeping”. Results. The data obtained characterize the high degree of infection with nosematosis of bees living in the northern regions. As a result of the research carried out in the laboratory of the State Agrarian University of the Northern Trans-Urals, phytopreparations have been developed, consisting of the flowers of medicinal plants (Achilléa millefólium and Tussilágo) with the juice of Állium satívum. These ingredients help to increase the resistance of families, increasing their viability and resistance to nosematosis. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that in the conditions of the Northern Trans-Urals, an analysis of the epizootic state of apiaries was carried out, depending on their location in natural and climatic zones.

Abstract. Berries are a valuable source of nutrients and antioxidants in the diet of the population of Yakutia. The purpose is to study the influence of climatic conditions on the quality and yield of cranberries (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) growing in the Arctic districts of Yakutia. Research methods. The material for the study was the berries of the common lingonberry, growing in three Arctic uluses of Yakutia. The biochemical composition of the berries was determined by infrared spectroscopy on the Spectra Star 2200 analyzer, in the laboratory of processing agricultural products and biochemical analyses of the YSRIA. The yield of cranberries was determined at 30 accounting sites by the weight of berries collected from a 1 m2 site. The hydrothermal coefficient of G. T. Selyaninov (HTC) was used to assess the moisture content of the cranberry growing zones. Results. It has been established that cranberry berries of the Arctic uluses of Yakutia are an important source of antioxidant indicators and macro- and microelements. The highest content of vitamins C (15.3 ± 0.04 mg / 100 g), B1 (0.011 mg / 100 g), B2 (0.021 mg / 100 g) and E (1.04 mg / 100 g) was observed in lingonberry berries of the Yuryung-Khaya section of Anabarskiy ulus. The highest iron content was noted in the cranberries of the Yuryung-Khaya of Anabarskiy ulus (0.4 ± 0.01 mg / 100 g), phosphorus – in the berries of the Sobolokh Momskiy ulus (16.8 mg / 100 g), potassium – in the berries of the Yuryung-Khaya of Anabarskiy ulus (92.5 mg / 100 g). The weight of berries varied within 0.08–0.30 g/pcs. The highest yield of cranberries was noted on the Sobolokh site of Momskiy ulus – 12.9 t/ha. Scientific novelty. New knowledge has been obtained on the biochemical composition, nutritional value and yield of common cranberries growing in 3 Arctic uluses of Yakutia.

The escalating concern over greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from solid waste treatment and fossil fuel power plants has garnered global attention, including in Malaysia. Abundant agricultural waste (AW) and organic municipal solid waste (MSW) in this region hold promise as potential replacements for fossil fuels, offering a pathway to generate electricity while reducing GHG emissions. The innovative gasification approach, particularly the combined heat and power (CHP) system, emerges as a viable solution to address these challenges. However, the operational design of conventional gasification processes typically using a single type of fuel from various discarded resources, such as agricultural waste (e.g., woodchips and coconut shells) and organic MSW, remains controversial. To address these concerns, the present study investigates the power pallet system's capability and reliability to generate electricity from diverse mixed ratios of organic MSW to agricultural waste via a simulation approach. The results demonstrated that power generation remained above 20kW for all mix ratios. It was observed that as the ratio of MSW increased, the composition of hydrogen and carbon monoxide decreased. These trends suggest that power generation is influenced by the syngas yield, which correlates with the quality of the feedstock.

Studies on heuristic evaluation of mobile applications have been an emerging domain. However, existing checklists are too general and unable to clearly define the measurements for evaluating mobile shopping applications. This paper proposes suitable heuristics under the learnability measure for a checklist in conducting heuristic evaluation in supporting the inclusivity of a mobile shopping application. This study was conducted in two phases: generate the learnability measures based on heuristics and sub-heuristics from content analysis and verify the proposed heuristic evaluation checklist from the learnability measures through expert reviews. As a result, a verified Learnability checklist consisting of three heuristics was selected: recognition rather than recall, user control and freedom and match between the system and the real world. For each heuristic, suitable sub-heuristics and evaluation questions were identified. Through the learnability checklist, usability experts and analysts can consistently perform their evaluation during heuristics evaluation on other mobile shopping apps. This is to ensure that the apps have all relevant features that enhance the learning ability of their users, using the apps confidently and proficiently, providing their contentment in every usage scenario.
