Authors: Prima Stefanus , Riyanto Budi , Hartono Dang
Published: September 2022

This study investigates the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Score (FLCAS) of students in English classes before the pandemic (offline class) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (online class) in a private university in Jakarta, Indonesia. There were 145 participants in total, 67 of which attended the offline class of English 1, while 78 others attended the online class of English 2. The 33 items of the questionnaire were adapted from FLCAS and were analyzed by three aspects: Communication Apprehension, Fear of Negative Evaluation, and Test Anxiety. The questionnaire items were translated into Indonesian and distributed online using Survey Monkey. The study used Independent Samples t-test to test the hypothesis, and the writer analyzed items to categorize the FLCA scores into high and low anxiety levels of each anxiety category. The writer found the FLCAS difference between offline and online classes insignificant (p > 0.05). Furthermore, The writer revealed that Fear of Negative Evaluation, especially judgment from classmates, was the dominant aspect that caused anxiety among students of both classes. On the other hand, it was also found that learners from both classes had no problem having their teacher correct their errors when using English.
A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Pantene Advertisement
Authors: Laily F Allikathus Rizky
Published: September 2022

Advertisement is one mass media used to inform, persuade and change people's perspective on the world. This research aims to analyze Pantene advertisement’s textual features, discourse practice, and socio-cultural practice. The method of this research is a qualitative approach. This research uses a critical discourse analysis approach with Fairclough’s three-dimensional model. The data source was taken from videos in Pantene advertisements with the English Version and their translation taken from YouTube. The result of this research is in the textual feature of Pantene Advertisement using a first personal pronoun, additive conjunction, positive adjective, and negative adjective. In the discourse practice, the advertisers create the advertisement to show that they are trying to display the beauty standards that have been circulating in society regarding how the ideal hair should be. And the targets of this Pantene advertisement are teenagers who want to have perfect hair, which is to have long, black, and shiny hair. In the situational level, Pantene advertisement was launched because many people have not maintained hair conditions, and in the institutional, the advertisers present various innovations in their production. This is assumed to have implications for what the community wants. In the social feature, Pantene contributes to the circulation of beauty products, especially in the hair care section. Pantene consistently innovates following developments in society, so many products from Pantene are in demand to beautify the appearance of their hair. Advertisers show their power by advertising the products they make.
Drawing Time
Authors: De Wit Saskia , Bobbink Inge , Van Dooren Noël
Published: September 2022

This issue of Spool – ‘Drawing Time’ – departs from the observation that the metropolitan landscape is subject to time, in many ways. The metropolitan landscape, as it has been studied in Spool over the years, is conceived as the interrelation between urban, infrastructural, rural and natural formations: a dynamic, intertwined and layered urban-landscape structure. The urban condition is viewed from the perspective of the landscape as a permanent underlying substructure and as physical open space with its own spatial, compositional and perceptual characteristics. Time aspects of the metropolitan landscape can be found in processes of growth and decay, seasonal manifestations, disruptive forces of wind and water and also in the ways in which humans inhabit and use space or in which urban development processes take place. Designing for the metropolitan landscape means dealing with a wide range of dynamic phenomena, unstable systems and variable conditions. It implies the exploration of future situations, bridging time spans from seasons to decades and design tasks from small-scale interventions to large-scale strategies. It connects landscape operations that build upon the garden, the park and the forest to complex, layered design strategies for transformation, migration and climate change. This Spool issue discusses the importance of time in such design processes, and its reciprocal relation to representation.

Authors:   Genesis Behavioral Health, San Antonio, TX, Torcivia Peter , Nkemakolam Ifeoma ,   Veteran Health Administration, San Antonio, TX, Lapiz-Bluhm M. Danet ,   School of Nursing, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
Published: September 2022

Background: Clinical practice guidelines serve as a framework for clinical decisions supporting best practices to optimize patient care. Critical appraisal of a clinical practice guideline is an important clinical skill for advanced practice nurses and other advanced healthcare professionals. Hence, advanced practice nursing students should receive appraisal training of clinical practice guidelines to develop their critical skills in determining their quality and potential incorporation into evidence-based clinical practice. Objective: This paper describes the incorporation of a critical appraisal of a clinical practice guideline in a graduate nursing program for advanced nursing practice. As an exemplar of the appraisal process, the clinical practice guideline from the United States (US) Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense (VA/DoD) on the management of post-traumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorder was critically appraised. Methodology: Students enrolled in a graduate nursing course were formed into groups of 3-4, and selected a clinical practice guideline according to their specialty. A group of four students enrolled in the Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program critically appraised the VA/DoD clinical practice related to the management of posttraumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorder using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II Instrument. Students’ performance and feedback were evaluated. Results: The students viewed the course activity positively and appreciated learning the CPG appraisal process and its use in practice. The VA/DoD clinical practice guideline was deemed of high quality and user-friendly for practitioners’ use in clinical decision-making despite minor limitations. Conclusion and recommendations: Incorporation of clinical practice guideline assessment using the AGREE II Instrument in the advanced practice nursing curriculum should be considered. Participating graduate students considered the skill needed for their future advanced practice. Regular updates of clinical practice guidelines and their appraisals are also recommended.
Support of LGBTQ+ People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities in Group Homes
Authors:   Chamberlain University, Downers Grove, IL USA, Echezona-Johnson Chinazo
Published: September 2022

Background: Researchers indicate that the staff of group homes do not support LGBTQ+ individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) in expressing their sexuality or acknowledging their sexual orientation. Objective: The project’s purpose is to develop staff education about support strategies for ID/DD individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ in group homes to reduce adverse behavioral issues. Methods: This is a quality improvement initiative. Data were collected from a convenience sample of the target population via post-workshop surveys adapted from the Knowledge about Homosexuality Questionnaire, pre-and-post community inclusion forms, review of agency’s records and environment, and pre-and-post adverse behaviors of the study cohort. The convenience sample size is limited to 25 direct participants and 32 indirect charts. Results: Data were analyzed by content analysis and the use of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) - Spearman’s rho, paired-sample t-test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Findings show that staff education and support would reduce adverse behavioral issues among the cohort. Limitations: This project is limited to a convenience sample of only one agency in New York City that provides services to Intellectual Disability and Developmental Disability (ID/DD) individuals who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning (LGBTQ+). Survey questions did not include specific questions about lesbians, transgender people, asexuals, pansexuals, and intersex. Only one question mentions bisexuality. Conclusion: There is a critical need to modify the agency’s protocols, forms, cultural competency training, environment, and policies to emphasize the cohort’s needs using interventions to diminish minority stress and improve positive psychology (PERMA model). Nursing education should include an in-depth curriculum on the intersection between LGBTQ+ and ID/DD populations.

Depois irei discutir o lugar que a psicologia empírica passaa ocupar depois da crítica ao psicologismo em Investigações lógicas.
Amor e Conhecimento na fenomenologia de Max Scheler
Authors: Ramos Daniel Rodrigues
Published: September 2022

A discussão parte da indicação de Scheler, presente no seu escrito Liebe und Erkentnnis: énecessário superar a concepção intelectualista do amor, para compreender genuinamente ainterdependência entre amor e conhecimento. Nesta perspectiva, procura-se mostrar que oamor não apenas antecipa o conhecimento como motor e via, mas também o consuma,inserindo-o em esferas ontológicas primordiais, ao ascender a intelecção das essências a graumais evidente e a um modo mais originário. No primeiro momento, parte-se do conhecimento,destacando o ato de ideação como o específico do espírito humano, para chegar ao modoclarividente do amor conhecer por participação no ser. Em segundo momento, em linhasgerais, evidencia-se o amor como ato fundamental da estrutura intencional e princípiogenerativo da ordem de fins da existência humana. Por isto, é tomado como o ponto de partidados atos intelectivos.

Nesse trabalho discuto duas perspectivas sobre política e engajamento. Para descrever a primeiraforma de engajamento, muito comum nas redes sociais, faço uso do termo heideggerianofalatório. Esse tipo de engajamento se caracteriza pela reprodução do mesmo e pela negação dadiferença. Já a segunda noção de engajamento, pensada a partir das obras de Sartre e Merleau-Ponty, em clara oposição ao falatório, remete a um exame de três características fundamentais doengajamento intelectual: práxis, compromisso, responsabilidade.
Implicaciones de una práctica Fenomenológico- Existencial en el mundo de las terapias psicológicas
Authors: Robles Yaqui Andrés Martínez
Published: September 2022

En este escrito se presenta la perspectiva de la Escuela Mexicana de Análisis y TerapiaExistencial. No es fácil distinguir cómo se aplica la fenomenología-existencial a unapráctica terapéutica, ya que plantea aspectos divergentes con respecto a la psicologíaclínica tradicional. Esta propuesta se fundamenta, tanto en una forma de comprender laexistencia, como en cierta forma de entender el propósito del proceso terapéutico. Lafenomenología-existencial propone una práctica terapéutica que no busque curar osolucionar problemas, sino clarificar la situación existencial del cliente. Esto tiene variasimplicaciones para los terapeutas, como la invitación a: describir en vez de explicar –descripciones que realizan tanto paciente como terapeuta–, explorar la tensión que existeentre lo que está ocurriendo y lo que suponemos que debería ocurrir, aceptar lo relativode las posibilidades y perspectivas que se despliegan en diversos contextos, examinar lacomplejidad de cada situación, preguntar –por tonta que pueda parecer la pregunta–,reconocer nuestra incapacidad para renunciar a nuestras preferencias, estar disponiblepara evidenciar nuestras dudas e incomprensiones, y a lograr una “actitud de no-saber” –la humildad de reconocer que todos nuestros conocimientos no son suficientes paraconocer con certeza la realidad–.

“Empirie und nicht Empirismus”: Diltheys Verhältnis zu Auguste Comte und zum Positivismus seiner Zeit
Authors: Dierse Ulrich
Published: September 2022

„Empirie, nicht Empirismus“ ist eines von den fundamentalen Prinzipien in Diltheys Denken. Es ist entgegengesetzt der Metaphysik (bes. Hegels und jeder Form von Idealismus) auf der einen und dem Positivismus auf der anderen Seite. Der Positivismus, die vorherrschende Richtung der Philosophie in der 2. Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts, wird zwar von A. Comte zu einem System der rein empirischen Philosophie ausgestaltet, aber schon von ihm und dann von einigen seiner Nachfolger in der Wende zu einer ‚positiven Religion‘ aufgelöst. Dilthey wendet sich gegen Comtes Geschichtsphilosophie und gegen die Ausweitung der Grundsätze, die aus den Naturwissenschaften stammen, in die Geisteswissenschaften, etwa die Übertragung empiristischer Grundsätze auf die Geschichte (H. Th. Buckle). Außerdem, so Dilthey, ist der Positivismus nicht in der Lage, eine praktische Philosophie zu entwickeln, die der Vielzahl der Weltanschauungen im 19. Jahrhundert gerecht wird.
Dilthey zwischen Universalismus und Relativismus
Authors: Cacciatore Giuseppe
Published: September 2022

Universalismus und Relativismus sind Begriffe, die vorherrschend zur intensiven Debatte gehören, die sich in der politischen Philosophie und auf dem Gebiet der zeitgenössischen Ethik, Anthropologie und Soziologie entwickelt hat. Ich werde hier eine Neuinterpretation dieser Beziehung versuchen und dabei einige Schlüsselpunkte der Philosophie Diltheys, und im Besonderen einige Stellen aus Das Wesen der Philosophie von 1907 benutzen. Dieser Text und natürlich andere Texte des Philosophen aus dem Rheinland können uns meines Erachtens als philosophische Richtschnur in der Bestimmung und auch in der Neuformulierung von einigen Schlüsselkategorien der postmetaphysischen Moderne, wie Individualität, Universalität, Historizität, Vermittelbarkeit und die möglichst weit reichende Verwendung des Wissens vom Menschen dienen.
De Freud a Heidegger e de volta: O nascimento de uma clínica daseinspsicanalítica
Authors: Da Silva Manuel Moreira
Published: September 2022

Este trabalho explicita o movimento de pensamento que segue de Freud a Heidegger, e de volta aFreud, no sentido da constituição de uma clínica daseinspsicanalítica. Desse modo, expõe as linhasgerais do que nele se designa “clínica daseinspsicanalítica”, a práxis própria da assim chamadaDaseinspsicanálise; bem como esboça os fundamentos desta e o escopo de sua investigação. Paraisso, se concentra na relação entre as chamadas estruturas psíquicas, de um lado, e a estrutura doDasein, de outro, tomadas como os elementos estruturantes fundamentais de uma psicanálise doser-aí. De início, responde à pergunta “que é isto – Daseinspsicanálise?”, quando esboça umafundamentação filosófica da clínica assim designada. Enfim, explicita o que entende ser a escutaanalítica do ser-aí da psique humana no século XXI.
El ser-sí-mismo como ser-entero
Authors: Holzapfel Cristóbal
Published: September 2022

Antes de las principales concepciones del Selbstsein, ser-sí-mismo, que anteceden a Heidegger, a saber las de Kiekegaard y Jaspers, en ninguna de ellas entró a tallar decididamente el pensamiento de que el ser-sí-mismo, en cierto modo, se completa como ser-entero (Ganzsein). A propósito de esto, es notable la distinción entre las 2 Secciones de Ser y tiempo, puesto que en la I Sección se tematizó un Dasein, “entre” nacimiento y muerte, y que deja a ambos fuera, en cambio desde el inicio mismo de la II Sección, Heidegger acomete la cuestión de la posibilidad del ser-entero.

Sobre o episódio do Mahabharata conhecido como “Baghavad-Gita”, de Wilhelm von Humboldt, G. W. F. Hegel
Authors: Auras Nina
Published: September 2022

Quando Hegel leciona em Berlim, para onde se muda em 1818, já é uma celebridade na Alemanha: há anos foi publicada a Fenomenologia do Espírito (1806), que lhe concedeu grande destaque, e também já foram legadas ao público suas principais obras. Suas aulas frequentemente lotam e o público é composto por nomes como Rosenkrantz, Bruno Bauer, Feuerbach e Hotho, que em 1835 nos brindaria com as anotações compiladas dos seus Cursos de Estética. Em 1825, Hegel começa a trabalhar numa nova edição da sua Enciclopédia das Ciências Filosóficas; ele a pensa como uma obra de apoio para a realização de seus cursos, e por isso trabalha nela com rapidez e precisão.

Published: September 2022

Determining the post mortem interval PMI or time of death is a critical step in forensic investigations. Accurate estimation of the PMI is an important task for a forensic examiner. Recent developments in biochemical technologies have started to identify biomarkers in different biological fluids such as blood, urine for PMI estimation. Researches focusing on the use of blood in PMI estimation suggest that the femoral vein blood must be collected for measuring biochemical components. Forensic investigations are hurtling toward the introduction of Artificial Intelligence AI, an intelligence exhibited by machines that are trained to learn and solve problems. The present project outlines a concept of a device that can be used in the prediction of the PMI through providing the profile of different metabolites in blood such as Lactate dehydrogenase LDH, A separate amino transferase AST, triglycerides and cholesterols. In addition to the measurement of blood pH. Use of these biochemical markers could be promising tools in forensic death investigations.

Published: September 2022

Automation can be defined as the technology by which a process or way is performed without human succor. automatic control, is the use of various control system for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in industries, boilers and electrostatic precipitator, switching on communication networks, navigation and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications and vehicles with trifling human intervention. Some processes have been completely automated. The motor speed is controlled via the driver as an open loop control system. To make a more accurate closed loop control of motor speed we will use a tachometer (revolution-counter, tach, rev-counter, RPM gauge) to measure the speed and feed it back to the PLC, which compares to the desired value and take a control action, then the signal is transferred to the motor – via driver – to increase / decrease the speed. We will measure the speed of the motor using an incremental rotary encoder by adjusting parameters (PLC, driver) and also, we need to reduce the overall cost of the system. Our control system will be held using the available Siemens PLC. In addition, we will monitor motor parameters via SCADA system.

The Influence of Telmisartan on the Expression of BMP-7 in Rat Kidneys Induced by 8% NaCl
Authors: Pahmi Khairil , Nufus Lale Syifaun , Muliani Sriama
Published: September 2022

Excessive salt intake is one of the factors of high blood pressure leading to kidney disease while telmisartan is one of the antihypertensive drugs used in  therapy. Telmisartan not only blocks the angiotensin receptor, which leads to a reduction in blood pressure, but  also activates the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), inhibits the expression of transforming growth  factor  beta-1 (TGFβ-1) and increases bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7). This experiment examines whether telmisartan increases the expression of BMP-7 in excess NaCl-induced Wistar rats. For this study, 25 male Wistars aged 2.5 to 3 months  and rats weighing 100 to 150 g  were used.They were grouped into 5, each  consists of 5 rats. Group I (G I) as the first negative control received neither NaCl nor telmisartan. G II as the second negative control received NaCl but no telmisartan. G III, IV and V received NaCl and telmisartan 3, 6 and 12 mg/kg body weight. Treatments were given every day for 8 weeks.On day 56, all rats were sacrificed by  neck dislocation and operated on to remove the kidney. BMP-7 expression  was measured by immunohistochemical technique. Data were expressed as mean ± standard error. They were analyzed by parametric (ANOVA) or nonparametric (Kruskal-Wallis) testing. A value of p ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The results showed that the expression of the intraglomerular and  extraglomerular  protein  BMP-7 was higher in the telmisartan-treated group of Wistar rats  than in the negative control group (pand<0.05). In summary, intraglomerular and extraglomerular BMP-7 protein expression was higher in  male Wistar rats treated with telmisartan and induced with 8% sodium chloride than in negative control group members.

The aim is to evaluate the efficacy of the developed method of resection of the metatarsophalangeal joints (MPJ) in the surgical treatment of forefoot deformity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The results of surgical treatment of the forefoot deformities in 34 patients with RA were studied. The operation was performed on both feet in 25 patients. A total of 59 feet were operated on. Resection of the heads of the II-V metatarsals using the traditional method was performed in group 1 (n = 28 feet) (the comparison group). In group 2 (n = 31 feet), resection of the heads of the II-V metatarsals was performed according to the method developed by us (the study group). The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Lesser Toe Scale (AOFAS-II-V) and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were used for clinical evaluation. Our own developed method of treatment (group 2) allowed to achieve better clinical and functional results according to the AOFAS-II-V scale and a more pronounced decrease in pain syndrome according to the VAS scale compared to group 1 where the traditional method was used.

Abstract. This study characterizes the size and shape distributions of 10 um to 6 mm diameter particles observed during six penetrations of wildfire-induced pyroconvection near Boise, Idaho, USA by a research aircraft over the period 29–30 August 2016. In situ measurements by the aircraft include winds, atmospheric state, bulk water content and particle concentration, size, and shape. These observations are complemented by data from airborne and ground-based radars. One of the penetrations is through a subsaturated smoke/ash plume with negligible cloud liquid water content that is characterized by an updraft of almost 36 m s-1. The size distribution of number concentration is very similar to that documented previously for a smoke plume from a prescribed fire and particle shapes exhibit qualitative and quantitative attributes comparable to ash particles created in a burn chamber. Particles sampled during this penetration are most likely pyrometeors composed of ash. Pyrocumulus clouds are probed in the other penetrations where values of relative humidity and cloud liquid water content are larger, but updrafts are weaker. Compared to the smoke-plume penetration, size distributions are mostly characterized by larger concentration and particle shapes exhibit a higher degree of circular symmetry. Particle composition in these pyrocumulus penetrations is most likely a combination of hydrometeors (ice particles) and pyrometeors (ash).

Abstract. Recent advances in geochemical techniques mean that several robust proxies now exist to determine the past carbonate chemistry of the oceans. Foraminiferal δ11B and alkenone carbon isotopes allow us to reconstruct sea-surface pH and pCO2 respectively, and the ability to apply both proxies to the same sediment sample would give strongly paired datasets and reduce sample waste. However, no studies to date have examined whether the solvents and extraction techniques used to prepare alkenones for analysis also impact the geochemistry of foraminifera within those sediments. Here we examine six species pairs of planktic foraminifera, with half being taken from non-treated sediments and half being taken from sediments where alkenones have been extracted. We look for visual signs of contrasting preservation and compare analyses of δ18O, δ13C, δ11B and trace elements (Li, B, Na, Mn, Mg, Sr, and U/Ca). We find no consistent geochemical offset between the treatments, and excellent agreement in δ11B measurements between them. Our results show that boron isotope reconstructions of pH in foraminifera from alkenone-extracted sediments can be applied with confidence.

Abstract. Between 15 and 27 ka b2k (thousands of years before 2000 CE) during the last glacial, Greenland experienced a prolonged cold stadial phase, interrupted by two short-lived warm interstadials. Greenland ice-core calcium data show two periods, preceding the interstadials, of anomalously high atmospheric dust loading, the origin of which is not well understood. At approximately the same time as the Greenland dust peaks, the Chinese Hulu Cave speleothems exhibit a climatic signal suggested to be a response to Heinrich Event 2, a period of enhanced ice-rafted debris deposition in the North Atlantic. In the climatic signal of Antarctic ice cores, moreover, a relative warming occurs between 23 and 24.5 ka b2k that is generally interpreted as a counterpart to a cool climate phase in the Northern Hemisphere. Proposed centennial-scale offsets between the polar ice-core time scales and the speleothem time scale hamper the precise reconstruction of the global sequence of these climatic events. Here, we examine two new 10Be datasets from Greenland (NorthGRIP) and Antarctic (WDC) ice cores to test the agreement between different time scales, by taking advantage of the globally synchronous cosmogenic radionuclide production rates. Evidence of an event similar to the Maunder Solar Minimum is found in the new 10Be datasets, supported by lower-resolution radionuclide data from Greenland and 14C in the Hulu Cave speleothem, representing a good synchronization candidate at around 22 ka b2k. By matching the respective 10Be data, we determine the offset between the Greenland ice-core time scale, GICC05, and the WDC Antarctic time scale, WD2014, to be 125±40 years. Furthermore, via radionuclide wiggle-matching, we determine the offset between the Hulu speleothem and ice core timescales to be 375 years for GICC05 (75–625 years at 68 % confidence), and 225 years for WD2014 (-25–425 years at 68 % confidence). The rather wide uncertainties are intrinsic to the wiggle-matching algorithm and the limitations set by data resolution. The undercounting of annual layers in GICC05 inferred from the offset is hypothesized to have been caused by a combination of underdetected annual layers, especially during periods with low winter precipitation, and misinterpreted unusual patterns in the annual signal, during the extremely cold period often referred to as Heinrich Stadial 1.

Abstract. Field boundaries are at the core of many agricultural applications and are a key enabler for operational monitoring of agricultural production to support food security. Recent scientific progress in deep learning methods has highlighted the capacity to extract field boundaries from satellite and aerial images with a clear improvement from object-based image analysis (e.g., multiresolution segmentation) or conventional filters (e.g., Sobel filters). However, these methods need labels to be trained on. So far, no standard data set exists to easily and robustly benchmark models and progress the state of the art. The absence of such benchmark data further impedes proper comparison against existing methods. Besides, there is no consensus on which evaluation metrics should be reported (both at the pixel and field levels). As a result, it is currently impossible to compare and benchmark new and existing methods. To fill these gaps, we introduce AI4Boundaries, a data set of images and labels readily usable to train and compare models on the task of field boundary detection. AI4Boundaries includes two specific data sets: (i) a 10-m Sentinel-2 monthly composites for large-scale analyses in retrospect, (ii) a 1-m orthophoto data set for regional-scale analyses such as the automatic extraction of Geospatial Aid Application (GSAA). All labels have been sourced from GSAA data that have been made openly available (Austria, Catalonia, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Sweden) for 2019 representing 14.8 M parcels covering 376 km2. Data were selected following a stratified random sampling drawn based on two landscape fragmentation metrics, the perimeter/area ratio and the area covered by parcels, thus taking into account the diversity of the agricultural landscapes. The resulting “AI4Boundaries” dataset consists of 7,831 samples of 256 by 256 pixels for the 10-m Sentinel-2 dataset and of 512 by 512 pixels for the 1-m aerial orthophoto. Both datasets are provided with the corresponding vector ground-truth parcel delineation (2.5 M parcels covering 47,105 km2) and with a raster version already pre-processed and ready to use. Besides providing this open dataset to foster computer vision developments of parcel delineation methods, we discuss perspectives and limitations of the dataset for various types of applications in the agriculture domain and consider possible further improvements.

Abstract. The paramagnetism of a lanthanoid tag site-specifically installed on a protein provides a rich source of structural information accessible by
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Here we report a lanthanoid tag for selective reaction
with cysteine or selenocysteine with formation of a (seleno)thioether bond and a short tether between the lanthanoid ion and the protein backbone. The tag
is assembled on the protein in three steps, comprising (i) reaction with 4-fluoro-2,6-dicyanopyridine (FDCP); (ii) reaction of the cyano groups with
α-cysteine, penicillamine or β-cysteine to complete the lanthanoid chelating moiety; and (iii) titration with a lanthanoid ion. FDCP
reacts much faster with selenocysteine than cysteine, opening a route for selective tagging in the presence of solvent-exposed cysteine residues.
Loaded with Tb3+ and Tm3+ ions, pseudocontact shifts were observed in protein NMR spectra, confirming that the tag delivers good
immobilisation of the lanthanoid ion relative to the protein, which was also manifested in residual dipolar couplings. Completion of the tag with
different 1,2-aminothiol compounds resulted in different magnetic susceptibility tensors. In addition, the tag proved suitable for measuring
distance distributions in double electron–electron resonance experiments after titration with Gd3+ ions.

This work carried out the study of Co0.5Zn0.5Bi0.4-xPr0.1Fe1.5+xO4 spinel ferrite series (x = 0,0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4) prepared via micro-emulsion route. Effects on structural, electrical, optical and morphology properties is studied by varying Bi concentration (x = 0,0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4). The characterization techniques employed included X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), UV-visible spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). XRD results confirmed the spinel structure having lattice parameter around 8.39 Å and particle size decreased from 30 nm to 41 nm with increasing Bi concentration. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed fingerprints of metal oxides band at 408-577 cm-1. Optical properties were studied UV-visible spectroscopy and Eg was found to vary from 2.83 eV to 2.59 eV. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) described the morphology of the samples. We then examine the results and the material's characteristics, as well as the areas in which it can be used.
