Ecological, behavioral, and toxicological studies with termites are frequently difficult to conduct under field conditions because their cryptic lifestyle. It is important to know the factors that can limit survival to ensure that laboratory studies will reflect the natural survival of these insects. Here, we tested the effect of a food resource and carton nest material on group survival of Nasutitermes corniger (Motschulsky, 1855) (Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae) in the laboratory. In general, termites survived longer in treatments with a food resource (sugarcane baits) compared to groups with carton nest material and control. However, groups with food resources exhibited high mortality due to fungal infection. The result of this study may contribute to the establishment of bioassay protocols performed with N. corniger in the laboratory.

Inclusive Growth in a Circular Economy
Authors:   Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kleiner G.B.
Published: September 2022

Russia’s economic relations with the outside world have undergone significant changes in recent years. The expansion of the scope of sanctions against Russia by many countries - traditional economic partners leads to the need to organize the functioning of the domestic economy in the “circular economy” mode. In this regard, the task of adapting economic theory, socio-economic policy, and economic practice to the new conditions of development arises. This article analyzes the possibilities and prerequisites for maintaining positive economic growth rates and improving its quality due to the inclusive nature of growth. Such development, to one degree or another, should cover all regions, industries, and national economic complexes. The problems of import substitution are considered in the article as part of the general problem of resource substitution and resource replenishment. The need to develop a resource balance at all economic levels is emphasized in connection with these problems. In the conditions of a closed cycle, special attention should be paid to the potential for replacing physical capital with human capital, which requires a significant revision of the subject and goals of social policy, including the goals and tools of personnel management at enterprises. The role of top-level specialists (“craftsmen”), who can solve production problems in a sharp reduction in the import of facilities, supplies, and critical technologies, is noted. The transition to a circular economy as one of the short-term phases of economic functioning carried out in compliance with the developed in the article recommendations can weaken the negative impact of the socio-economic disparities and contribute to inclusive (nonfocal) economic growth. This phase can, under certain conditions, become a period of consolidation of the domestic economy and society.

Dans cet article, nous nous intéressons à la perspective la plus adaptée pour présenter des instructions multimédia lors de l’apprentissage procédural. Deux études ont été menées, suivant une méthode utilisant de multiples répétitions du geste et respectant l’atomisation de l’action. Dans les deux expériences, nous avons pris en compte les aptitudes visuo-spatiales d’étudiants en médecine, auxquels nous avons demandé de réaliser 5 points de suture, guidés par des instructions égocentrées ou hétérocentrées. Les résultats montrent un effet positif de la répétition du geste et des aptitudes visuo-spatiales sur les performances. Ils révèlent un effet positif de la perspective égocentrée sur la qualité pour la première expérience, ainsi que sur la qualité et la vitesse d’exécution pour la seconde. Il semble nécessaire de privilégier la perspective égocentrée facilitant le traitement des informations pour tous les individus, quelles que soient leurs aptitudes visuo-spatiales.

Authors: Rashid Md. Bazlar , Rahman Md. Abdur
Published: September 2022

In coastal areas, to take any development plan, it is important to determine the stability of the coast and coastal islands. Therefore, the present research took an initiative to illustrate the development of coastal islands in the Feni estuary of Bangladesh through Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. Multi-dated Landsat images of 1978, 1989, 2014 and 2020 were used in the study. The research reveals that in 1978, 1989, 2014 and 2020, the total area of various islands in the estuary was 377,650,894 and 1063 km2, respectively. The islands show cyclical growth and erosion, but their main components have existed for decades. During the period from 1978 to 1989, 1989 to 2014 and 2014 to 2020 about 330,386 and 379 km2 of new land added to the existing land mass and about 57,142 and 210 km2 of existing land eroded, respectively. Finally, from 1978 to 2020, the size of the islands increased by about 14.64 km2 yr-1. During the same period about 110 and 40 km2 lands along the coastline were eroded and accreted, in the north-western and eastern parts of the estuary, respectively. The study further reveals that the islands of the estuary have developed over the past few decades, except Sandwip. Finally, the outputs of this study will be helpful for policy makers and planners for sustainable estuary management.

Authors: Shagari Mohammed Shehu , Alotaibi Trad , Aydi Hassen , Park Choonkil
Published: September 2022

In this paper, a novel and more general type of sequence of non-linear multivalued mappings as well as the corresponding contractions on a metric space equipped with a graph is initiated. Fixed point results of a single-valued mapping and the new sequence of multivalued mappings are examined under suitable conditions. A non-trivial comparative illustration is provided to support the assumptions of our main theorem. A few important results in $ \epsilon $-chainable metric space and cyclic contractions are deduced as some consequences of the concepts obtained herein. As a result of our findings, new criteria for solving a broader form of Fredholm integral equation are established. An open problem concerning discretized population balance model whose solution may be investigated using any of the ideas proposed in this note is highlighted as a future assignment.
Multi-model fusion short-term power load forecasting based on improved WOA optimization
Authors: Ji Xiaotong , Liu Dan , Xiong Ping
Published: September 2022

The high accuracy of short-term power load forecasting has a pivotal role in helping power companies to construct reasonable production scheduling plans and avoid resource waste. In this paper, a multi-model short-term power load prediction method based on Variational mode decomposition (VMD)-improved whale optimization algorithm (IWOA)-wavelet temporal convolutional network (WTCN)-bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU)-attention and CatBoost model fusion is proposed. First, VMD was employed to decompose the load data into different intrinsic mode functions. Second, a WTCN was utilized to extract the load data features, and multi-dimensional feature factors were integrated into the BiGRU network for model training. Moreover, an attention mechanism was added to enhance the influence degree of important information. The WTCN-BiGRU-attention model is improved by the WOA algorithm to optimize the hyperparameters of the network. Finally, the model was fused with the predicted data of the CatBoost network by the mean absolute percentage error-reciprocal weight (MAPE-RW) algorithm to construct the best fusion model. Compared with other forecasting models, the proposed multi-model fusion method has higher accuracy in short-term power load forecasting using the public data set for an Australian region.

Published: September 2022

Everyday thousands of cardiac surgeries are performed worldwide. This article reviews numerous studies on the use of Convolutional Neural Networks and their impact on vascular surgery. The development of computer systems supported by convolutional neural networks that contribute to vascular surgeries represents an important deviation from traditional approaches to the performance of surgical interventions, either through computed tomography verification or the method in which a surgeon ceases to participate in this type of surgical interventions. A systematic literature review (SLR) regarding convolutional neural networks for use in vascular surgeries was conducted for research from 2016 to 2021. The search strategy identified 15,505 papers from various search sources such as ACM Digital Library, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore, MDPI, Microsoft Academic, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Springer, Web of Science, and Wiley Online Library, from which only 70 papers were considered (selected) based on exclusion criteria. The SLR focused on recent studies on convolutional neural networks where their use in vascular surgeries has been identified. This SLR provides readers with a mapping of all identified findings, making a comparison by relevance in regard to their own settings and possible scenarios. Therefore, it is hoped that this research will help other researchers to understand the current status of Convolutional Neural Networks and their application in Vascular Surgeries.

Published: September 2022

Rapid transmission of the coronavirus disease via droplets and particles has led to a global pandemic. Expeditious detection of SARS-Cov-2 RNA in the environment is attainable by using Bio-FET sensors. This work proposes a Bio-FET sensor interface module with IoT implementation to amplify signals from a Bio-FET for SARS-Cov-2 detection and monitoring. The sensor interface module was programmed to read the signals using a micro-controller and process information to determine the presence of SARS-Cov-2. The proposed Bio-FET sensor interface module was also set to transmit data to the Cloud via W-Fi to be stored and displayed on a dashboard. The prototype Bio-FET sensor interface module was simulated in PSpice for signal amplification, and hardware implementation has been done by using low-cost components for data transmission to the Cloud. The hardware consists of an AD620 instrumentation amplifier module, voltage sensor module, Neo-6m GPS sensor module, an OLED display, and an ESP8266-32 bit micro-controller. The results of both the simulation and the hardware implementation are similar. The emulated negative and positive Bio-FET signal outputs were successfully amplified from 15.9mV and 45.8mV to 1.59V and 4.58V, respectively, using an AD620 instrumentation amplifier. The gathered location, time, date, output voltage, and SARS-Cov-2 presence results were successfully stored and displayed on the Cloud dashboard.
La naissance technique d'une industrie : la conserverie de sardines à l’huile
Authors: Fichou Jean-Christophe
Published: September 2022

La méthode utilisée pour conserver des sardines à l’huile est simple. Elle est mise au point dès 1810 et n’a pas variée jusqu’à nos jours. Certes les procédés de fabrication ont été améliorés, mais les différentes étapes pour parvenir au produit fini sont inchangées depuis deux siècles. L’appertisation des sardines, comme on le dit encore à l’époque1, ne demande pas des investissements financiers trop élevés ni des connaissances techniques étendues. Un entrepreneur décidé et enthousiaste peut, en 1855, se lancer dans cette aventure industrielle sans problème majeur avec 30 000 francs en poche, selon Caillo2. Mais le chemin est long de l’invention vers 1800 par Nicolas Appert à l’innovation vers 1820 par Joseph Colin, et il est plus difficile encore de passer à la diffusion en grand de cette nouvelle industrie vers 1850. Les avis sont très partagés quant au dynamisme et au courage commercial des négociants à l’initiative du succès. Si Sylvain Peyron construit son usine en 1850 c’est bien après avoir noté les succès lorientais du juge Blanchard et de la demoiselle Le Guillou : « les beaux résultats que cette industrie nouvelle avait procurés [...] ne tardèrent pas à être connus et à donner l’éveil de la spéculation »3. Mais pour Caillo, l’allégresse est loin d’être partagée par tous : au Croisic, des établissements pour la mise en conserves des sardines ont bien été créés mais ces fabriques « toutes faites par des étrangers, n’ont trouvé ni sympathies, ni imitateurs parmi nos concitoyens »4. L’apparition comme la disparition subite de maisons de conserves de sardines dans les annuaires départementaux prouvent à l’évidence que si les créations sont nombreuses, les faillites aussi.

Les scientifiques français en exil aux États-Unis pendant la seconde guerre mondiale
Authors: Dosso Diane
Published: September 2022

Après la signature de l’armistice franco-allemand en juin 1940, une poignée de scientifiques français se préparèrent à l’exil. Qui sont ces scientifiques ? Pourquoi quittèrent-ils leur pays ? Comment organisèrent-ils leur départ ? Après avoir examiné ces différentes questions, nous suivrons l’itinéraire de certains scientifiques au départ de France, nous enquêterons sur leur emploi et leurs ressources en Amérique, jusqu’à la création du Bureau Scientifique au sein de la Délégation de la France libre aux États-Unis. Le relatif échec de leur participation à l’effort de guerre allié dans les laboratoires américains sera finalement compensé par le succès de la Mission Scientifique Française en Grande-Bretagne, première étape vers leur retour en France en 1945.
Les cartes géologiques départementales : entre savants et ingénieurs des mines
Authors: Savaton Pierre
Published: September 2022

La première cartographie géologique de détail de la France fut d'abord une œuvre individuelle et locale, héritière des idées géognosiques de la fin du xviiie siècle et des premiers essais de cartes géologiques modernes. Ces cartes départementales faisaient pourtant partie du projet d'une carte générale de la France, initié et réalisé par le corps des mines. Elie de Beaumont et Dufrénoy n'avaient pas encore publié leur carte, que le ministère reprenait en mains ce projet de cartes de détail : les départements financèrent les levers, qui furent exécutés par les ingénieurs des mines. Marquées autant par leur dimension personnelle que par leur époque, ces cartes allaient être remplacées à la fin du xixe siècle par une couverte harmonisée à l'échelle de 1/80000.

Status Natural Compounds of Medicinal Plants, Herbs, and Spices
Authors: Butnariu Monica , Sharifi-Rad Javad
Published: September 2022

Secondary compounds (SMs) are essential for the proper functioning of the medicinal plants and herbs and spices (MPHSs) either throughout their existence or at certain stages of their development. Among the SMs, anthocyanins have a special significance whose accumulation intensifies in the case of cellular or physiological stress caused by abiotic environmental factors (temperature variations, light), lack of natural organic compounds (NOCs) in the environment, or the attack of pathogens. MPHSs produce a wide variety of NOCs that are not directly involved in the primary metabolic processes of growth and development. This chapter explores the natural compounds of medicinal plants.

Published: September 2022

Medicinal plants known and used since ancient times are still commonly used, and they have remarkable importance in national and international trade. According to the World Health Organization data, 80% of the population of developing countries use mostly medicinal plants for their primary healthcare needs. Also, modern pharmacopoeias still contain at least 25% of drugs derived from plants and many others which are synthetic analogues built on prototype compounds isolated from plants. Medicinal plants are used directly as therapeutic agents, but also as starting materials for the synthesis of drugs or as models for pharmacologically active compounds. In this respect, they have an important role for pharmacological research and drug development. The traditional uses of medicinal plants in the world are documented by ethnobotanical studies. Ethnobotanical/ethnopharmacological studies are increasing the possibilities of identifying new molecules instead of random screening.

Non-nutritive phytochemicals found in plants have a protective effect on health and contain various compounds for the prevention and treatment of various diseases. For these compounds, drug candidate studies of plant-based compounds can be carried out with various methods and techniques. Drug design and discovery is a very complex and expensive process, and nowadays, drug discovery studies are supported by computer-aided drug design. The important point in computer-based drug design is a good understanding of the molecular structure of drug candidates. Various theoretical and computational approaches are used in computer-aided drug design studies. These approaches, which are used to predict the structure and behavior of molecules, are of great importance in determining the structural properties of drug candidate molecules and understanding their interactions with various receptors. In this chapter, information will be given about the methods used in computer-aided drug design studies and studies carried out in the literature.

Change management involves a set of changes within entities that poses a risk to the stability of the entity. Similarity index helps to analyze and prioritize the changes, but it provides inaccurate results due to non-consideration of type of similarity. Existing types of similarities also lack accuracy in comparing the versions due to history slicing in case of renaming or shifting. Thus, the proposed combination of fuzzy and hybrid techniques uses modified similarity index that helps in prioritizing the changes in the entities based on the proposed nominal similarity classifications. It reduces the cost of change management by determining risky entities. Results shows that 15% of files, 19% of classes, and 66% of methods pose risk with decrease of 35.29% and 52.53% unstable/risky entities at file and entity level respectively as compared to understand tool. Moreover, MSI captures similarities between entities where SI fails in GIT repositories, thereby enhancing the process of engineering change order.

This paper focuses on the experimental evaluation of the rotor/propeller interactions for hybrid compound configurations. Experiments are conducted in the ONERA L2 large size-low speed wind tunnel with a 1/7.7 Dauphin 365N model and a four-bladed small-scale propeller. Measurements are realized using two six-component balances, accelerometers, and blade pitch, flap and lead-lag angle sensors. PIV measurements are performed to visualize the velocity fields around the helicopter. Different flight conditions (wind speeds and propeller rotational speeds) have been tested. The comparison of the results obtained with an isolated main rotor and an isolated propeller with the complete assembly highlighted the influence of their interactions on their performances. In hover, the propeller is completely immersed in the rotor wake, and the thrust is therefore maximal. At low speed, the propeller is partially immersed and the flow on the propeller disk is highly asymmetrical. No direct interactions are measured at high speed, where the interactions increase the performances of the propeller due to the increased angle of attack of the flow on the propeller disk.

The long-term survival outcomes of radical prostatectomy (RP) in Chinese prostate cancer (PCa) patients are poorly understood. We conducted a single-center, retrospective analysis of patients undergoing RP to study the prognostic value of pathological and surgical information. From April 1998 to February 2022, 782 patients undergoing RP at Queen Mary Hospital of The University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong, China) were included in our study. Multivariable Cox regression analysis and Kaplan–Meier analysis with stratification were performed. The 5-year, 10-year, and 15-year overall survival (OS) rates were 96.6%, 86.8%, and 70.6%, respectively, while the 5-year, 10-year, and 15-year PCa-specific survival (PSS) rates were 99.7%, 98.6%, and 97.8%, respectively. Surgical International Society of Urological Pathology PCa grades (ISUP Grade Group) ≥4 was significantly associated with poorer PSS (hazard ratio [HR] = 8.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.42–51.25, P = 0.02). Pathological T3 stage was not significantly associated with PSS or OS in our cohort. Lymph node invasion and extracapsular extension might be associated with worse PSS (HR = 20.30, 95% CI: 1.22–336.38, P = 0.04; and HR = 7.29, 95% CI: 1.22–43.64, P = 0.03, respectively). Different surgical approaches (open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted) had similar outcomes in terms of PSS and OS. In conclusion, we report the longest timespan follow-up of Chinese PCa patients after RP with different approaches.

Introduction:

C-reactive protein (CRP) has come to prominence in the cardiovascular field with the inflammatory hypothesis of atherosclerosis. Many studies evaluated the role of CRP as a prognostic marker in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The aim of our work was to study the relation between admission CRP level and the angiographic severity of coronary artery disease in patients presenting with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction.

Patients and Methods:

Admission CRP was measured for 100 STEMI patients before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Complexity of coronary lesion was assessed using both Syntax score and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow.

Results:

Syntax score was significantly higher in the 3rd CRP tertile (20.24 ± 5.6 and P = 0.000), TIMI 0 flow was the highest in the 3rd tertile (24% and P = 0.001). We found a significant positive correlation between Syntax score and CRP and a significant negative correlation between CRP and TIMI flow (P = 0.001 and 0.005, respectively). Receiver operating characteristic curve constructed to determine the sensitivity of admission CRP to determine intermediate to high risk SYNTAX score showed a level ≥8.4 mg/dl as 71% sensitive (area under the curve [AUC] =0.65 and a P = 0.02) and an admission CRP of ≥4.8 mg/dl to be 81% sensitive in determining no or faint antegrade flow (TIMI 0 and 1) (AUC = 0.71. P =0.001).

Conclusion:

There is a strong positive correlation between admission CRP and the syntax score and TIMI flow in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI, thus adding CRP to the risk scoring systems used to assess STEMI patients before PPCI can help better risk stratify patients before going into the cath laboratory.
Syndrome de Stickler : une observation clinique
Authors: Bechakh Islam
Published: September 2022

Stickler syndrome, also known as hereditary arthroophtalmopathy, is a dominantly inherited polymarformative syndrome characterized by clinical signs as follows: i) polyepiphyseal dysplasia that can lead to early arthrosis, ii) bilateral myopia that is not very progressive but can lead to retinal detachment, and iii) facial dysmorphia that may improve with age. This syndrome may include severe orofacial abnormalities such as Pierre Robin syndrome. We report the case of a 14-year-old child diagnosed with an incomplete form of the syndrome but who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of this syndrome with "ophthalmological manifestations" in the foreground. The surgical management of this case resulted in a failure of retinal reapplication despite the temporal retinectomy performed. This observation illustrates an exceptional etiology of retinal detachment, represented by an osteoarticular polymalformative syndrome, revealed by an extra-articular manifestation, which underscore the whole severity of this disease.

Le syndrome de Stickler, appelé aussi arthro-ophtalmopathie héréditaire, est un syndrome polymarformatif héréditaire de transmission dominante, caractérisé par une dysplasie poly-épiphysaire pouvant entraîner des arthroses précoces, une myopie bilatérale peu évolutive mais susceptible d'entraîner un décollement rétinien, et une dysmorphie faciale pouvant s'atténuer avec l'âge. Ce syndrome peut comporter des anomalies oro-faciales sévères à type de syndrome de Pierre Robin. Nous rapportons le cas d’un enfant de 14 ans diagnostiqué d’une forme incomplète mais qui remplit les critères diagnostiques de ce syndrome avec comme au premier plan « les manifestations ophtalmologiques » dont la prise en charge chirurgicale s’est soldée par un échec de la réapplication de la rétine malgré la rétinectomie temporale réalisée. Cette observation illustre une étiologie exceptionnelle du décollement de rétine, représentée par un syndrome polymalformatif ostéo-articulaire, révélé par une manifestation extra-articulaire qui peut constituer toute la gravité de cette maladie.
