Speckle Plethysmography (SPG) and Photoplethysmography (PPG) are different biophotonics technologies that allow for measurement of haemodynamics. As the difference between SPG and PPG under low perfusion conditions is not fully understood, a Cold Pressor Test (CPT—60 s full hand immersion in ice water), was used to modulate blood pressure and peripheral circulation. A custom-built setup simultaneously derived SPG and PPG from the same video streams at two wavelengths (639 nm and 850 nm). SPG and PPG were measured at the right index finger location before and during the CPT using finger Arterial Pressure (fiAP) as a reference. The effect of the CPT on the Alternating Component amplitude (AC) and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of dual-wavelength SPG and PPG signals was analysed across participants. Furthermore, waveform differences between SPG, PPG, and fiAP based on frequency harmonic ratios were analysed for each subject (n = 10). Both PPG and SPG at 850 nm show a significant reduction during the CPT in both AC and SNR. However, SPG showed significantly higher and more stable SNR than PPG in both study phases. Harmonic ratios were found substantially higher in SPG than PPG. Therefore, in low perfusion conditions, SPG seems to offer a more robust pulse wave monitoring with higher harmonic ratios than PPG.

Virtual education has gained great relevance in recent years, due to the pandemic. The access to electronic devices and services represents an urgent necessity and thus the concern for acquiring digital competences, which allow a proper interaction within the teaching–learning process. Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of having digital resources and the adaptability of their use from the university students’ homes during the pandemic crisis. This research intends to identify the relevant challenges regarding the accessibility to technological devices and digital competences that university students had to face to obtain suitable learning during the lockdown, due to the pandemic. The sample information consisted of 9326 Peruvian university students. The data was obtained from the National Homes Survey from the Statistics and Information National Institute, and it was distributed in twenty-five regions (in groups of five macro-regions) over a period of three years (2019–2021). The results showed significant differences in the number of students with internet access from home: between 40% and 60% access classes with a desktop or laptop, and digital competences have improved in the last year. This is evidence that digital divides set limits on the opportunities for a quality education.
Blockchain’s Scope and Purpose in Carbon Markets: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Vilkov Arsenii , Tian Gang
Published: May 2023

Carbon markets, particularly emission trading schemes (ETS) and carbon offset projects, are significant mechanisms in climate change mitigation. However, there are still a number of unresolved issues regarding their attractiveness and efficient functioning. Blockchain, as the core of “3D’s concept” (including decentralization, decarbonization and digitalization), could be considered as a candidate solution for carbon markets’ improvement. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify the role of blockchain in ETS and carbon offset projects, its key features, implementation challenges and proposed applications, by analyzing and discussing the content of relevant studies, and grouping the results into domains. This study’s findings show that blockchain has great potential to be adopted in carbon markets. However, there is no data on blockchain use cases in energy efficiency, chemical processes and industrial manufacturing, waste disposal, and agriculture. Blockchain-based household and transportation carbon offset projects are linked to renewables through energy trading. Renewables and forestry are the most appropriate domains for blockchain adoption, considering various criteria of quality for carbon offset projects. Blockchain is currently immature in carbon markets because of its own drawbacks and challenges. This study also highlights research gaps and offers research directions to inspire researchers for conducting related investigations.

Published: May 2023

Microbial communities play crucial roles in the biogeochemical cycling of many important soil elements. Pesticides are known to affect non-targeted soil microorganisms. Glyphosate (GP) and diquat (DQ), two commonly used non-selective herbicides, often co-exist in lateritic paddy soil rich in iron/aluminum oxides. However, there is limited information on their co-impact on microbial community structure and diversity in this type of soil. Here, the short-term effects of combined exposure to GP and DQ on microbial diversity and community structure shifts were investigated in lateritic paddy soil from a tropical agricultural region (Hainan, China). The combined utilization dosages of two herbicides were set in three concentrations: low concentration (1 fold of the recommended dosage), medium concentration (10 fold of the recommended dosage) and high concentration (100 fold of the recommended dosage). The structure and diversity of microbial communities were determined via 16S rRNA and ITS gene high-throughput sequencing. The results revealed that Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria were the most sensitive microbial phyla to the combined exposure of GP and DQ in lateritic paddy soil. The combined exposure to GP and DQ increased the abundance of Actinobacteria but significantly inhibited that of Proteobacteria, especially at low and medium concentrations. Compared with CK, mixed herbicide (GP + DQ) had no adverse effects on the richness of bacteria and fungi communities as well as on the diversity of bacteria communities, but it significantly decreased the diversity of fungi communities at high concentrations within 28 days. However, the effects of combined exposure to GP and DQ on soil microbial richness and diversity were not significantly different from those of separate exposure of the two herbicides. In conclusion, the combined application of GP and DQ had no more adverse effects on soil microorganisms. Therefore, these two herbicides can be used reasonably in actual agricultural production.

The digital hub for the medical university is the embodiment of a synergetic model of the educational system. It is an educational and me-thodical arsenal forms the content of the digital hubs. It is also an organiza-tional model that focuses on the use of information and communication technologies. The purpose of this scientific research is to examine two fun-damental elements of the digital hub in medical education: logistics and teaching. The methodology of comparative analysis that is used is closely re-lated to the synergetic principles of the modern scientific paradigm. This way we can see different levels of effectiveness of digital educational hubs in Ukraine and Europe in the training of future medical professionals. The reason is significantly higher rates of integrative factors in European educational hubs, compared to Ukrainian counterparts. Thus, filing hubs make up the in-formation and digital space of Ukrainian higher medical education. European counterparts have already integrated the potential of the digital hub not only in the educational space but also in the clinical environment.

Published: May 2023

Observance of military discipline under martial law is one of the pre-conditions for making the country’s defence and ensuring national security as a whole more effective. That is why the current legislation in the field of military administrative offences needs to be revised and brought into line with the requirements imposed by the wartime. The aim of the study is to analyse the current state and promising directions for improving the mechanism for the prevention of military administrative offences under martial law. The methods of analysis of the legislative framework, formal logic, case studies, comparative law were used in the course of the research. The article was built using international experience. The study found a number of contradictions in the changes introduced in the legislation on military administrative offences after the beginning of a large-scale military invasion. Such changes as increased punishment and no right to commutation, etc. intended to improve discipline can have the opposite effect, reducing the motivation and confidence of servicemen. Special attention should be paid to entitling one person to draw up a report on an administrative military offence and collect evidence — most often, battalion commanders, which makes servicemen vulnerable to the commanders, whatever decision they make, and also increases corruption risks. Therefore, further research should focus on the development of directions for amending Article 172-13 “Abuse of power or official position by a military official”.

Currently, there are several types and models of plankton nets available on the market. However, it is not known for sure how the differences in size and shape of these nets influence the capture of eggs and larvae. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the influence of mouth size and collection cod-end type on the capture of ichthyoplankton organisms. Collections were carried out in October and November 2019 on the Ibicuí River (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) using four different plankton trawl nets: T1: Wide mouth pelagic net with closed collection cod-end; T2: Wide mouth pelagic net with opened collection cod-end; T3: Narrow mouth pelagic net with closed collection cod-end and T4: Narrow mouth pelagic net with opened collection cod-end. At the laboratory, the samples were screened and the larvae were classified in the Yolk-Sac, Pre-Flexion, Flexion and Post-Flexion stages. To evaluate the variation of eggs, total larvae and developmental stages in each of the trawl nets, a two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used. When the ANOVA results were significant, Tukey's a posteriori test was performed to detect differences. There was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05) in the capture of eggs and total larvae in the different nets in October. However, November has registered the highest number of total larvae in the widest mouth nets. In both months of sampling, there was greater capture of the Flexion and Post-Flexion stages on the wide mouth and opened collection cod-ends nets. The efficiency of ichthyoplankton capture seems to be related to larval developmental stages, which demonstrates the importance of choosing a net that adapts to the objectives of each study.
Salinification of Coastal Wetlands and Freshwater Management to Support Resilience
Authors: Middleton Beth A. , Boudell Jere
Published: May 2023

Climates are rapidly changing in wetland ecosystems around the world and historical land-use change is not always given enough consideration in climate adaptation discussions. Historical changes to hydrology and other key environments can exacerbate vegetation stress; e.g., recent drought and flood episodes are likely more extreme because of climate change. The contributions of global and regional changes that affect groundwater and surface water availability all need consideration in conservation planning including sea-level rise, coastal subsidence and compaction, fluid extraction, and floodplain reengineering. Where subsidence is not too extreme, healthy coastal vegetation often can keep ahead of sea-level rise by accreting elevation through sedimentary and/or biogenic processes. Better water conservation and minimum water delivery during drought may support foundational species and avoid wetland collapse. Local approaches have been developed to rewet inland floodplains decades after their reengineering for agricultural and urban development to support biodiversity in salinified coastal wetlands. The purpose of this paper is to describe inland wetland remediation techniques that may also be useful to increase freshwater delivery to coastal wetlands experiencing salinification. While some salinified coastal ecosystems may transition in the future, attempts can be made to remediate salinification related to historical land use in support of wetland conservation, health, and sustainability.

Published: May 2023

A study on the effect of the structure of disperse-filled polymer composite materials (DFPCM) based on EVA grade 11306-075 and rice straw powder (RSP) with a particle diameter of 250 μm on the complex of rheological properties has been carried out.

For the first time, a quantitative relationship of generalized parameters, type of structure and lattices with the rheological properties of dispersed systems based on EVA + RSP has been determined. It has been established that during the processing of DFPCM with the DS, LFS, and MFS-1 structure types by traditional methods (extrusion, injection molding, etc.), there are practically no technological difficulties. Systems with the type of structure MFS-2 and HFS have an increased viscosity (~7–15 times) in comparison with unfilled EVA; therefore, they cannot be processed.

The results of the experiments and the approach developed in this work makes it possible to design DFPCM compositions with adjustable structural parameters and a set of properties, as well as to choose methods and technological parameters for processing them into products with a given shape, configuration, and dimensions.

The results of investigation of dependence of physical and mechanical characteristics of disperse-filled polymer composite materials (DFPCM) based on EVA grade 11306-075 and rice straw powder with particle size of ~ 250 microns (RSP) on generalized parameters of their structure are presented. The calculation of the generalized parameters and the classification of DFPCM according to the type of structures were carried out.

It has been shown that when filling EVA grade 11306–075 with RSP particles, depending on the type of structure, the tensile strength of DFPCM decreases by ~ 2 times (from 9.4 to 4.51 MPa), the tensile strain by more than ~ 10 times (from 275 up to 8%), and the value of the tensile modulus increases by ~ 18 times (from 42 to 750 MPa).

To obtain DFPCM based on EVA filled with rice straw powder with optimal physical and mechanical properties, it is recommended to introduce RSP in the concentration range from 0.18 to 0.45 vol.p.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), a caesarean section is a surgical procedure that can save the life of a woman and her baby when undertaken for medical reasons. Thus, the procedure should only be used in complicated pregnancies. However, C-sections have gradually become common in developing countries, and it is already quite common in the developed countries for a long time. A number of obstetric complications such as dystocia, foetal distress, breech births, post-term pregnancy, multiple pregnancy, and pregnancy-induced hypertension are recognized as reasonable motives behind caesarean section deliveries. Approximately 18.5 million caesarean births have been recorded each year globally, accounting for 19.1% of total births, which is beyond the cut-off recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). In India, the rate of caesarean section delivery is dramatically increased from 3% in 1992–93 to 17% in 2015–16. In terms of regional variations, south Indian states have recorded substantially higher levels of caesarean deliveries in comparison to north India. Despite several studies that have investigated the factors contributing to caesarean section delivery, systematic evidence is still lacking towards understanding the determining factors and formulating effective policies to address the increasing rate of caesarean section deliveries in India. With this backdrop, this study attempts to observe the major indications and prevalence of caesarean section among pregnant women in a tertiary care hospital in India

One of the most prevalent cancers in the world today is Squamous cell carcinoma of Head and Neck (HNSCC), which is distinguished by a physiologically heterogeneous group of tumors, non-specific biomarkers, and a dismal prognosis. Although the traditional surgical therapy methods have made positive strides, they results in long-term deformity, a shift in one's sense of self, and physically debilitating effects, whereas chemo and radiation therapy result in serious toxicities that have a detrimental influence on patients' quality of life. In order to enhance individual health outcomes and survival, neo-adjuvant therapeutic approaches were developed. Thus the current article reviews the various neo-adjuvant therapies and their significance in contrast to conventional surgery.
