Purpose. Evaluation of the effectiveness of using different levels of fermented rapeseed meal in the diets of lactating cows during the milking period. Materials and Мethods. Scientific, economic and physiological experiments were carried out in the conditions of the farm of Delta-F LLC in the Sergiev Posad district of the Moscow region on three groups of Holstein cows: control, experimental 1 and 2. Cows from the control group were fed the main diet with the addition of 2.5 kg of traditional rapeseed meal, animals from experimental 1 additionally received 1.25 kg of natural rapeseed meal and 1.25 kg of fermented rapeseed meal, from experimental 2 – 2.5 kg of fermented rapeseed meal. The physiological experiment was carried out at the end of milking period, for which 3 heads were selected from each group. The amount of feed given and consumed was weighed daily. Sampling of feed, milk, preservation of feces and urine was carried out according to generally accepted methods. Data processing was carried out using specialized computer software using methods of dispersion and correlation analysis. Results. During the 92-day experiment, it was found that the animals of the experimental groups (1 and 2) were characterized by high parameters of gross and daily milk yield. The gross milk yield of natural and 4% fat milk was higher in cows of the 1st experimental group compared to the control group by 3.3 and 4.4% (P≤0.05), and the protein yield was by 5.1 kg (P≤0.05). The inclusion of different levels of fermented rapeseed meal in the diet had a positive effect on protein digestibility in animals of the experimental groups. The highest amount of digestible nitrogen, as well as nitrogen excreted in milk, was observed in cows of the 1st and 2nd experimental groups. Conclusion. The addition of fermented rapeseed meal (1.25 kg) into the diet of cows during the milking period and the content of non-cleavable protein at a level of at least 39.3% has a positive effect on animal productivity and milk quality.
Capturing geological uncertainty in salt cavern developments for hydrogen storage: Case study from Southern North Sea
Authors: Barnett Hector , Ireland Mark , van der Land Cees
Published: January 2024

Future energy systems with greater contributions from renewable energy will require long-duration energy storage to optimise integration of renewable sources, hydrogen is an energy vector that could be utilised for this. Grid-scale underground natural gas storage is already in operation in solution-mined salt caverns, where individual cavern capacities are ~25 - 275 GWh. While traditionally salt caverns have been restricted to being developed onshore, in some offshore locations, such as the UK Continental Shelf, there are extensive evaporites that have potential for storage development. Capacity estimates for offshore areas, typically rely upon generalised regional geological interpretations, frequently do not incorporate site-specific structural and lithological heterogeneities, use static cavern geometries, and use methodologies that are deterministic and not repeatable. We developed a stochastic method for identifying viable salt cavern locations and estimating conceptual clusters' storage capacity. The workflow incorporates principle geomechanical constraints on cavern development, captures limitations from internal evaporite heterogeneities, and uses the ideal gas law to calculate the volumetric capacity. The workflow accommodates either fixed cavern geometries or geometries that vary per site depending on the thickness of salt. By using a stochastic method, we quantify uncertainties for storage capacity estimates and cavern placement across defined regions of interest. The workflow is easily adaptable allowing users to consider multiple geological models or evaluate the impact of interpretations of varying resolutions. We illustrate the workflow for four areas and geological models in the UK’s Southern North Sea: 1) Basin Scale (58,900 km2) - >61.9 PWh’s of hydrogen storage with >199,000 cavern locations. 2) Sub-Regional Scale (24,800 km2) – >12.1 PWh’s of hydrogen storage with >36,000 cavern locations. 3) Block Specific – Salt Wall (79.8km2) - >731 TWh’s of hydrogen storage with >400 cavern locations. 4) Block Specific – Layered Evaporite (225 km2) - >419 TWh’s of hydrogen storage with >460 cavern locations. Our workflow enables reproducible and replicable assessments of site screening and storage capacity estimates. A workflow built around these ideals allows for fully transparent results. We compare our results against other similar studies in literature and find that often highly cited papers have inappropriate methodologies and hence capacities.

Published: January 2024

Inferring the intentions and emotions of other people from their observed behavior is a critical component of social cognition. While neuroimaging studies have identified a distributed set of brain regions involved in social inference, it remains unknown whether performing social inference is an abstract computation that generalizes across different stimulus categories, or is instead entangled with specific stimuli such as faces. While social inference processes are thought to be distinct from those supporting other executive functions, their stimulus-domain specificity has not been tested. We recorded single-neuron activity from the medial temporal lobe (MTL) and the medial frontal cortex (MFC) in neurosurgical patients. Subjects switched between making different types of social inferences from images of faces, hands, and natural scenes. We found largely distinct populations of neurons that encoded inference type for social (faces, hands) and nonsocial (scenes) stimuli in both brain regions. In contrast, stimulus category was itself represented in a task-general manner in both MTL and MFC. Uniquely in the MTL, social inference type was represented by separate subsets of neurons for faces and hands, resulting in a domain-specific representation. These results reveal evidence for specialized social inference processes in the MTL, in which inference representations were entangled with stimulus type as expected from a domain-specific process.
Practice with Feedback vs. Lecture: Consequences for Learning, Efficiency, and Motivation

Published: January 2024

Many college students drop STEM majors after struggling in gateway courses, in part because these courses place large demands on students’ time. In three online experiments with two different lessons (measures of central tendency and multiple regression), we identified a promising approach to increase the efficiency of STEM instruction. When we removed lectures and taught participants exclusively with practice and feedback, they learned at least 15% faster. However, our research also showed that this instructional strategy has the potential to undermine interest in course content for less-confident students, who may be discouraged when challenged to solve problems without upfront instruction and learn from their mistakes. If researchers and educators can develop engaging and efficacy-building activities that replace lectures, STEM courses could become better learning environments.
Surviving Science – Coping with exit-decisions in physics and history
Authors: Fenkner Tim , Gottschalk-Rayling Jonas
Published: January 2024

Academic careers between the completion of a PhD and the acquisition of tenure are characterized by short term contracts, high levels of competition, and future uncertainty. Existing research indicates that uncertainty is a primary cause for postdocs in all disciplines to constantly question the continuation of their career. Despite this commonality between disciplines, we argue that future imaginations, coping strategies and ultimately the decision-making practices to exit or remain in academia differ in each discipline. Drawing from 60 qualitative interviews with physicists and historians, we compared imaginations of the labor market inside and outside of academia, as well as narratives on how they perceive their agency to exit or remain. Our data shows that imaginations of the labor market outside of academia, have considerable consequences for their sense of precarity and planning of career paths. We propose that the uniform concept of future uncertainty must beseparated into ‘existential uncertainty’ and ‘secured uncertainty’, which more accurately reflect the problems postdocs are confronted with and the resulting coping strategies. While those who consider their uncertainty as existential either evoke narratives of survival to continue in adverse conditions or begin parallel careers as added security. Those who perceive their future as uncertain but generally secured rely either on their ability to decide when necessary or postpone the question indefinitely. These differences that correlate with our chosen disciplines have important implications for research quality as well as mental-health hazards and further our understanding of self-exploitation and precarity in academia.

Published: January 2024

Given that teachers are considered as human sources of shortage internationally, teacher job satisfaction merits higher attention globally. This research is aimed to examine teachers’ job satisfaction and its relationship with age, gender, qualification, ethnicity and working experience. A quantitative research design was used. The sample for study comprised 150 teachers from community-based schools of the Kathmandu district and the research design used to collect the required data is purposive sampling. The structured demographic data along with Teachers’ Job Satisfaction were administered. The obtained data were analyzed using chi square test, oneway ANOVA test and Pearson correlation. The current study found that 82% teachers have high level of job satisfaction. The average score of teachers’ job satisfaction was 69.28 and standard deviation was 8.440. The findings further established the significantly positive relationship between age and job satisfaction. As the age increases, the job satisfaction also increases. Gender is also found as an influencing factor in teachers’ job satisfaction. Male teachers are found more satisfied than their female counterparts significantly. Although there were no significant differences, teachers from Newar ethnic group were more satisfied than teachers from other ethnic groups. Regarding the academic qualification, negatively correlated is found in the present study. Higher academic qualified teachers had significantly low level of job satisfaction. Moreover, the years that teachers spend on teaching greatly affect their job satisfaction. It is found that experienced teachers have significantly higher job satisfaction than their less experienced counterparts.

Energy is an entity that makes transformation possible
Authors: Alvarado Reyes José Manuel
Published: January 2024

Energía. ¿Qué misterios esconde? tanto para los comprometidos como para los desinteresados en la ciencia. Los comprometidos, utilizan y calculan la energía con certeza, y los desinteresados sólo saben de su existencia. Sin embargo, ambos entienden y comparten la misma idea: la energía lo es todo, es la vida y el universo mismo. Para los que indiferentes en la ciencia, basta con entender que es muy importante en su vida diaria, para los propios estudiantes de ciencias basta con saber que su existencia es de gran importancia en todo lo que ocupa un volumen en el espacio. En los cursos de ciencia avanzada de hoy, la energía es un dogma para los estudiantes y un enigma para los educadores; sin embargo, es un fenómeno utilizado con gran certeza de su existencia y con pequeñas incertidumbres en su evaluación. Sin embargo hasta el día se sabe que es algo abstracto y es dificil, o  imposible de  definir, entender o simplemente explicar qué es la energía, pero sabemos que es real, existe y gobierna todo lo que nos rodea. En el presente trabajo se propone un concepto de energía desde el punto de vista filosófico, sustentado más como un ente real y nada imaginario.

Tracheal collapse is a disease that affects the respiratory system, both in the cervical and thoracic regions of the tracheal tube of small animals. It has predisposition in toy breeds and affects both males and females, with reports of higher incidence in animals aged 07 to 08 years. Usually, the symptoms are dry and unproductive cough, exercise intolerance, and dyspnea. The diagnosis is made through clinical findings and complementary exams, and treatment can be clinical or surgical, depending on the severity of the case. This work aims to report a case of treatment in a dog with a collapsed trachea in the cervical region. The animal of the present report was presented at the veterinary clinic by the tutor, with the main complaint of intolerance to exercise, cyanosis and syncope during play. After being evaluated by the veterinarian, the tutor was advised to carry out additional tests to confirm tracheal collapse. As soon as the results of the exams came out and the animal was diagnosed with tracheal collapse grade III to IV, treatment was indicated and the tutor opted for clinical treatment. If there were no improvement in the animal's condition, surgical treatment would be indicated, and the risks and benefits of surgery were disclosed to the tutor. Depending on how compromised the tracheal tube is, clinical treatment becomes ineffective, making surgical correction necessary, where the Veterinarian will evaluate which type of surgical technique is to be performed.

Published: January 2024

Ameloblastoma is the most common among all oral cavity neoplasms. It is benign and happens because of a genetic malfunction of the cells responsible for the enamel, called ameloblasts. These tumors may occur in any place of the oral cavity, and often present quick growth. Surgery is the main course of treatment, seeking full tumor excision. Surgery may be associated with chemotherapy or radiation. This paper aims to report a case of bilateral total mandibulectomy of a patient with ameloblastoma. The patient had no previous medical history and had a large jaw tumor that caused sialorrhea with blood streaks, cachexia, problems with mouth occlusion, pain and anemia. Left total mandibulectomy was the first-choice treatment, but a right partial mandibulectomy was needed afterwards. However, 2 other reinterventions were necessary, which led to total bilateral mandibulectomy. In conclusion the chosen procedure was effective in bringing quality of life and well-being to the patient.

Published: January 2024

Experimental studies of processes in soil foundations under load show that soils exhibit viscoelastic properties. The article presents the method for determining the mechanical characteristics of viscoelastic soil. One of the functions, for example, the soil creep function, is obtained from the experimental data of testing a sample for creep. Next, the soil relaxation function was determined using the numerical-analytical method of broken lines. The representation of the creep function in the form of a broken line made it possible to obtain the relaxation function (the inverse function to the creep function in Laplace - Carson images) as a solution of the viscoelasticity problem. Based on the known image of the desired original of the relaxation function in the form of a broken line, a transition from the image to the original was made using the broken line method, which is reduced to a system of linear algebraic equations regarding the desired parameters of the relaxation function. To determine the relaxation function using the proposed method, there is no need to experiment with a soil sample for relaxation. This saves on laboratory experiments. The proposed algorithm is of interest when designing construction projects on weak soil foundations, taking into account the viscoelastic properties of the soil.
Assessment the effectiveness of international legal instruments in interpreting and developing the definition of genocide

Published: January 2024

The issues of the most serious national and international crimes committed in human history and the political and legal measures taken by states to prevent their commission, as well as the question of the jus­tice system responsible for these acts have been discussed by countless authors. However, there has been no attempt to present a set of interdependent elements that make it possible to organise this topic.
The validity of the proposed research is based on the opinion that has been formulated after reviewing ex­tensive documentation and supported by research already conducted, that the crime of genocide is usually committed by the ruling elite against the ruled, regardless of whether the ruling elite has the support of the majority of a given society. On the other hand, the authors of the article propose to examine the effectiveness of international legal instruments in the interpretation and development of the definition of genocide

Published: January 2024

The article conducts an experimental study of samples made from crushed polymer waste on a 3D printer with a screw extruder. General information about the experimental study is given. An analysis of literary sources on the study of mechanical properties of products manufactured by FDM technology on 3D printers was carried out. Two 3D printers were chosen for the production of experimental prototypes, one of which prints with filament, the other with granules or crushed polymer waste. The equipment for determining the accuracy of printed samples has been selected. The measuring part of the tearing machine for taking tensile diagrams of polymer samples has been improved. A strain gauge for force measurement and an optical encoder for displacement measurement are installed in it. A digital electronic system for data collection from sensors based on the Arduino Uno microcontroller was developed. Software for experimental data processing was created. The general view of the experimental setup is given. It is proposed to use uniaxial tension to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of the test samples printed on a 3D printer. Current international standards for tensile testing of plastics are described. To determine the mechanical tensile characteristics, samples in the shape of a blade were made from polymer materials ABS and TPU. The parameters for printing test samples made from these materials are set. With the use of the developed installation, the failure diagrams of samples (blades) made of crushed polymer waste and filament of ABS and TPU plastics with different amounts of internal filling were obtained. In the form of tables, the values of the mechanical characteristics of the samples produced by the 3D printing method from ABS and TPU polymers with different internal filling obtained during the uniaxial tensile test are presented. A photo of the places of breakage of ABS plastic blades, taken using a digital camera, is given. An analysis of the structure of the samples was carried out on them. Experimental test samples were made using two 3D printers to determine the accuracy of 3D printing. Measurements were made in different planes of the test cube using a digital electronic caliper. The obtained results were compared with the created model. Ways to improve print accuracy are described.

The traditional lessons procured from the epidemic approach have converged to the delta of trained in capacity in tackling the grave issue, eventually opening the door to Ayurveda for experiential and experimental knowledge. To explore and draw a narrative review on the conceptual framework of Janapadhodhwamsa (Epidemics), eliciting causative factors, alarming signs, and nature and providing a guideline of remedial measures for such engulfing catastrophes. Materials and methods include a review on the concepts of Janapadhodhwamsa and Kalaja Vyadhi (seasonal diseases) in classical Ayurveda texts of Charaka and Susrutha, followed by a PubMed search using keywords such as COVID-19, disease transmission, climate change, socioeconomic impact, and pandemic risk. A scheme comprising a compilation, in-depth study, contemplation and coding of the relevant literature was employed. Ayurveda portrays the meaningful concept of Janapadhodhwamsa, the tragic scene of death, disease, and the resultant devastation of a large population spread over geographical entities, countries or the world as whole. Hence, it effortlessly justifies a vivid description of COVID-19. The paper intends to contribute to understanding and contributing to tackling the current pandemic by incorporating Ayurvedic principles with a focus on Janapadhodhwamsa.

The growing spate of greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions from gasoline and diesel vehicles (termed vehicular motor emissions, VME) has raised concerns about their impacts on human health and the environment. VME research has also provided insights into the transportation sector's impact on global warming and climate change. According to the Scopus database, VME research has produced over 60,000 documents. Given the significant data, conducting a systematic review of the published documents is imperative to present current and future researchers with critical information and a comprehensive understanding of research developments and scientific growth in the field. Therefore, this paper systematically reviews the publication trends, significant stakeholders, emerging developments, and research landscape on VME from 2007 to 2021 using scopus data. The results showed that the number of published documents on VME research increased from 159 in 2007 to 551 in 2021, indicating an enormous 246.54% increase over the last 15 years. The field's most preferred document type and journal sources are "articles" (62.2%) and SAE Technical Papers. The field's most prominent researcher is Ye Wu, with 53 documents, whereas Tsinghua University is the most prolific affiliation. The analysis of the emerging developments and research landscape on VME examined by systematic literature review showed that VMEs comprise nano/ultrafine particulate matter (PM), oxides of carbon (COx), nitrogen (NOx), sulphur (SOx), secondary organic aerosols (SOA), and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), among others. Hence, studies have recommended designing, developing, and deploying control systems (comprising oxidation catalysts, particulate filters, and selective catalytic reduction), innovative technologies, and sustainable strategies to mitigate VMEs worldwide.

Authors: Jeyhan Rahmat Berliano , Pangaribuan Christian Haposan
Published: January 2024

The impact of social media on consumer purchasing behavior is explored in this study, employing the Influence Framework Theory and Doppelganger Theory as theoretical frameworks. The four phases of the Influence Framework Theory are examined to uncover how influencers shape consumer behavior. TikTokers are specifically scrutinized as opinion leaders, with hedonic experiences assuming a pivotal role. Moreover, their perception as taste leaders is investigated, emphasizing the influence of attractiveness and prestige. Furthermore, conscious desires to emulate are scrutinized, suggesting a positive correlation between opinion and taste leadership and this desire. Lastly, the study delves into the nonsocial outcomes of these influential efforts, emphasizing the link between the desire to imitate and consumers’ propensity to make purchases. Regression analysis demonstrates the positive impact of hedonic experiences, attractiveness, and prestige on perceptions of opinion and taste leadership. Additionally, both opinion and taste leadership significantly contribute to consumers’ conscious desire to emulate, subsequently influencing their inclination to make purchases. These findings shed light on the mechanics underlying TikTokers' influence on consumer behavior and offer valuable insights for marketers seeking to leverage these influencers to drive purchase intentions.

Tenquiry is intended to describe the perception of teachers in the Langke Rembong cluster regarding the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in primary schools. This enquiry employs a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects consist of 43 teachers in the Langke Rembong cluster who teach in Grade 1 and Grade 4. Data collection instruments used questionnaires distributed with the assistance of Google Forms. Data analysis techniques used data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The fallout of this enquiry pointed out that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in the Langke Rembong cluster encountered several challenges. These challenges include ineffective training time utilization, not all teachers participating in training despite being assigned to teach in Grade 1 and Grade 4, inadequate teacher and student textbooks, difficulty in simplifying Lesson Plans (RPP), student difficulties in understanding the teaching materials, teaching materials not aligning with the students' culture in Manggarai, and ineffective evaluation practices. However, the consistent implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum has contributed to the development of students' character, and teachers agree to replace the National Standardized Examination (USBN) with portfolio assessments. Additionally, the principles of Merdeka Curriculum have been internalized into the subject matter at the primary school level. Grounded in the findings of this enquiry, it can be concluded that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in the Langke Rembong cluster, from preparation to execution and evaluation, should be carried out effectively to avoid burdening both teachers and students in the learning process.

The increase in jobs at software development companies has in-creased much faster than the average for other jobs. Intention to change jobs is one of the bad work-related outcomes for software development companies. Work-life balance has been found to reduce the intention in changing jobs. Individuals who have balanced work and life will experience less work overload and depression, and find it easier to carry out work and life roles. This research aims to determine the influence of work-life balance dimensions and job satisfaction on turnover intention. The research method used was descriptive and quantitative involving 61 respondents (saturated sample), and was conducted from December 2022 to April 2023. The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with a saturated sample or census. Data processing and analysis techniques use PLS-SEM via SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results of the research produced several conclusions, namely two dimensions representing work-life balance that have a significant effect, namely personal life interference with work (PLIW) which is detrimental to job satisfaction, and work interference with personal life (WIPL) which has a positive effect on turnover intention. job satisfaction has a significant negative effect on employee turnover intentions. The step that companies need to take is to pay attention to work interference with personal life, especially related to fatigue after working during peak workload periods. Companies can provide facilities in the form of multivitamins to employees and carry out regular weekly sports activities to increase employee stamina.
