Malting is one of the most important stages in the production of brewing products. It is very long and can take place within 7-10 days, during which time the seeds used are converted directly into finished raw materials, malt. This period is characterized by the course of complex biochemical processes taking place in the grain and that is why it is especially demanding for express and high-precision quality control. To meet such needs, it is necessary to introduce modern methods of quality assessment, for example, the photoluminescent analysis method. Such a technological solution will make it possible to produce sufficiently accurate analyses in a production laboratory in the shortest possible time and promptly resolve the identified problems. Materials and methods, results and discussions To adapt the photoluminescent method of malt quality control, experimental studies were conducted with its grains. The spectra were measured according to a technique previously developed by the authors on the basis of a hardware and software complex consisting of a multifunctional spectrofluorimeter "Fluorat-02-Panorama" and a computer with the installed software "PanoramaPro". The measurement of biochemical parameters: powdery content, extractivity and acidity was carried out in a biochemical laboratory and using appropriate equipment according to the control methods described in GOST 29294-2021. For all the samples studied, families of excitation and luminescence characteristics were obtained for grains of varying degrees of powdery content, extractivity and acidity. Conclusion As a result of the conducted research: The spectral characteristics of excitation and luminescence of barley and oat malt grains of various degrees of germination have been studied. The dynamics of changes in the powdery content, extractivity and acidity of barley and oat malt during germination has been studied. The dependences of the luminescence flux on the studied biochemical characteristics are presented. Linear approximation equations for barley and oat malt grains are derived. With the help of additive modeling, equations are derived that allow predicting the time to reach the norm of indicators of malt of the highest class. The technological scheme of the process of express diagnostics of powdery content, extractivity and acidity of malt has been developed. The obtained results of spectral and biochemical studies are valuable experimental data that can become the basis for further scientific research in the field of grain and malt studies. Also, the results obtained can form the basis of the device for luminescent control of malt quality parameters.

Increasing the efficiency of deep processing of raw materials for commercial fish farming, including caviar of freshwater fish of the carp family, which is little in demand on the Russian market. As an object of study, carp caviar was used, which is a promising source for the production of high quality natural emulsifiers, for example, lecithin. It is known that the most common method of conservation of biopolymers is the drying of raw materials. An analysis of the methods for dehydrating products like carp caviar showed that the most rational of them for this purpose is convective, with a possible combination with conductive energy supply, which predetermines the contact of the object of study with the steam-air medium and determines the expediency of determining its hygroscopic parameters for the rational organization of the drying and storage process. dried product in order to maximize the preservation of the complex of phospholipids in the product, consisting of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids, phosphoric acid, glycerol and choline, which in general is lecithin. The aim of the study was to determine the hygroscopic and thermodynamic parameters of the interaction of carp caviar with water for use in the rational implementation of the technology for its drying and obtaining lecithin from carp caviar in order to identify the conditions for maximum preservation of the necessary target component in it. Within the framework of this study, for the caviar product, its hygroscopicity, which characterizes the equilibrium moisture content of the product, was determined using the tensometric method. The obtained functional dependences of hygroscopic parameters on the influencing factors make it possible to determine the numerical values of the specific thermal energy of evaporation for their substitution into the differential heat transfer equation when modeling the drying processes of the caviar product. As a result, it can be concluded that the obtained hygroscopic and thermodynamic parameters of the caviar product can be successfully used in the rational organization and implementation of the drying technology and technique.

Research of strength of unaxial compressed concrete elements reinforced with FRP
Authors: Mukhamediev Takhir A. , Zenin Sergey A. , Kudyakov Konstantin L.
Published: August 2024

Introduction. The possibility of FRP using in construction was considered back in the 1960s. The relevance of FRP using in concrete structures was associated with the need to increase the durability of road and marine structures. The widespread introduction and study was hindered by the lack of well-established industrial production of composite reinforcement until the 1980s. As of today, the Russian regulatory framework has a set of rules SP 295.1325800.2017 for the design of concrete structures reinforced with FRP. However, due to the insufficient study of the issue, in this set of rules, an approximate method is used to calculate the strength of unaxial compressed elements, which leads to an underestimation of the strength of unaxial compressed elements. This circumstance leads to an increase in the consumption of materials in the design of such structures. In this regard, it seems necessary to investigate the operation of unaxial compressed concrete elements reinforced with FRP and develop proposals for a refined methodology for calculating the strength of normal sections of such elements.

Aim. Conduct experimental studies of the bearing capacity of normal sections of unaxial compressed concrete elements reinforced with FRP.

Materials and methods. Experimental studies were carried out by testing of experimental concrete samples reinforced with FRP, with unaxial static compressive load. The research was carried out taking into account the requirements of the current regulations.

Results. Experimental data on the strength of normal cross sections of unaxial compressed concrete elements reinforced with FRP have been obtained.

Conclusions. According to the results of experimental studies, destructive loads were determined, crack formation patterns were established, and deflections of test samples were determined. During the tests, it was found that the experimental values of the destructive loads of the test samples are 15–32 % higher than their calculated values calculated according to the instructions of the current set of rules.

Capnography is the graphical study of carbon dioxide during expiration. Capnography has evolved and is more than merely a biomedical device that is used in the emergency department and intensive care unit (ICU). There is volume based and time-based capnographs. Although end tidal CO2 (EtCO2) is the most used parameter in clinical medicine, there are an abundance of other parameters from the capnometer. The capnographic parameters could originate from specific plot points of the time- or volume-based curves, the area under the curve, or other mathematical and computationally transformed data of the CO2. Although research of capnometry since its inception has focused on the respiratory aspects of the CO2 signal with EtCO2, newer parameters could be used to monitor, diagnose, and prognose certain circulatory and metabolic disorders. In short, capnography is inevitably one of the important vital signs of modern medicine. As physiologically challenging conditions such as deep-sea diving and the now rampant space travel are becoming more common, there might be a need for familiarisation with capnogram usage. In this narrative review, we go through the physiologic, mathematical, physics and clinical aspects of capnography.

Ownership of Land Ownership Rights by Traditional Villages Viewed from Indonesian Law
Authors: IRIANTORO Agung , UTAMA I Wayan Kartika Jaya
Published: August 2024

Transfer of land rights and review of Indigenous Villages' position as land rights owners based on Indonesian positive law. This writing includes normative legal research or what is usually called 'library research', namely research by examining secondary materials or data regarding research on legal principles, research on legal systematics, research on the synchronization stages of vertical and horizontal norms, harmonization of law and legal history. The provisions of the transfer of rights to land under the UUPA as a legal act of transfer of land rights are deliberately carried out so that the right is independent of the holder and transferred to another party. Customary villages, as owners of property rights to land reviewed under the law, can be domiciled as legal subjects of land rights owners, usually found through the purchase process or other businesses. However, there is still a potential dispute over efforts to certify customary village land.
Urgency of Reformulation of the National Development Planning System with the Gbhn Model
Authors: NOHANA Ni Gek Ayu Septi , BAGIASTRA I Nyoman
Published: August 2024

The discourse that has emerged in recent years regarding the importance of GBHN and plans to revive GBHN has surfaced. It is due to the less-than-optimal success of the national development planning system, which is a guideline for formulating long-term development plans (RPJP), medium-term development plans (RPJM) and annual development plans or Government Work Plans (RKP). However, the return of the GBHN concept has pros and cons; with the re-enactment of GBHN, it is feared that the authority of the MPR as the highest institution will re-emerge. Therefore, it is contrary to the presidential concept that has been agreed upon. Based on the above thinking, the main problem is how urgent the general boundaries of state policy are in the national development system. Second, How Compatible are the General Outlines of State Policy in the Indonesian Presidential System? In the context of formulation, discussion, and determination, the MPR must base it on the principle of the Democratic Directive Principle of State Policy Making, meaning that the formation of the basic policy must be carried out democratically, where the main feature of the democratic concept is public participation.
EASE OF DOING BUSINESS IN INDIA: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RECENT INITIATIVES BY THE GOVERNMENT AND THE WAY AHEAD
Authors: Mane Dr. Amol
Published: August 2024

Since 2014, India has embarked on a transformative journey to enhance the ease of doing business, implementing a series of reforms aimed at creating a more conducive environment for economic growth. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of these initiatives using secondary data from sources such as the World Bank, government reports, and industry studies. Key reforms, including the Goods and Services Tax (GST), the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), and the Make in India initiative, are analyzed. The study, covering the period from 2014 to 2023, reveals significant improvements in various ease of doing business metrics. India's ranking in the World Bank’s Doing Business Index improved from 142 in 2014 to 63 in 2020, underscoring the effectiveness of the government's efforts. Notable achievements include a 50% reduction in the time to start a business, a 60% decrease in the cost of starting a business, and a 165% increase in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows. Despite these advances, challenges such as complex land acquisition processes and inconsistent regulation implementation across states persist. Recommendations emphasize further streamlining compliance processes, promoting digitization, decriminalizing minor offenses, and extending tax incentives. Strengthening innovation ecosystems, enhancing access to credit, and fostering sector-specific policies are also crucial. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of India's business environment reforms, offering valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and businesses to sustain and build upon these improvements.
GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY
Authors: VINILA Dr. T.
Published: August 2024

In the broadest sense, sustainability refers to the ability to maintain or support a process continuously over time. In business and policy contexts, sustainability seeks to prevent the depletion of natural or physical resources, so that they will remain available for the long term. As the vulnerable state of our planet is becoming a daily headline, and individuals and businesses are feeling the pressure to make changes, we’re curious to find out what trends 2023 might bring that can enhance sustainability efforts. Several sustainability trends are shaping the global agenda during the cause of the year. Accordingly, sustainable policies emphasize the future effect of any given policy or business practice on humans, ecosystems, and the wider economy. The concept often corresponds to the belief that without major changes to the way the planet is run, it will suffer irreparable damage. The principles of sustainability refer to the three core concepts of environmental, social, and economic sustainability–sometimes broken down as "people, planet, and profits." This means that in order to be considered sustainable, a business must be able to conserve natural resources, support a healthy community and workforce, and earn enough revenue to remain financially viable for the long-term. This paper views on the trends of sustainability 2023 and different new innovations concentrated by sustainability in different sectors.

Rethinking Thorne–Żytkow Object Formation: Assembly via Common Envelope in Field Binaries
Authors: Everson Rosa Wallace , Hutchinson-Smith Tenley , Vigna-Gómez Alejandro , Ramirez-Ruiz Enrico
Published: August 2024

Thorne–Żytkow objects (TŻOs), hypothetical merger products in which a neutron star is embedded in a stellar core, are traditionally considered steady-state configurations. Their assembly, especially through dynamical channels, is not well understood. The predominant focus in the literature has been on the observational signatures related to the evolution and long-term fate of TŻOs, with their initial formation often treated as a given. However, the foundational calculations supporting the existence of TŻOs assume nonrotating spherically symmetric initial conditions that we find to be inconsistent with a binary merger scenario. In this work, we explore the implications of postmerger dynamics in TŻO formation scenarios with field binary progenitors, specifically the role that angular momentum transport during the common envelope phase plays in constraining the possible merger products, using the tools of stellar evolution and three-dimensional hydrodynamics. We also propose an alternative steady-state outcome for these mergers: the thin-envelope TŻO, an equilibrium solution consisting of a low-mass spherical envelope supported by the accretion disk luminosity of a central stellar-mass black hole. These configurations may be of interest to upcoming time-domain surveys as potential X-ray sources that may be preceded by a series of bright transient events.
FASHI: A Search for Extragalactic OH Megamasers with FAST

Published: August 2024

The FAST All Sky H i survey (FASHI) is broader in frequency band and sky volume, and deeper in detection sensitivity than the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey. To efficiently expand the sample of OH megamasers (OHMs), whose strongest line has a rest frequency of 1667.35903 MHz, we directly matched the IRAS Point Source Catalog Redshift (PSCz) catalog with the corresponding FASHI data cube. From 145 PSCz sources already covered by FASHI, we obtained 27 OHMs with a detection rate of 18.6%, including 9 previously known and 18 new ones, within a redshift range of 0.14314 ≲ z
OH ≲ 0.27656. We also measured the hyperfine ratio of nine OHMs between the 1667 and 1665 MHz lines. The ratio ranges from 1.32 to 15.22, with an average of R
1667:1665 = 4.74. In a fit to the L

, which is almost the same as derived from previous observations. As expected, since the OHM sample was selected by cross correlation with the IRAS-selected PSCz, our detected OHMs are (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies ((U)LIRGs). However, not all (U)LIRGs have detectable OH emission, suggesting that the OH emission may be triggered within a specific stage of the merger or can only be seen in specific orientations. In general, FAST, with its 19-beam array and Ultra-Wide Bandwidth receiver, will be a powerful tool for observing more OHMs and unraveling their mystery in the future.
MMS Observations of Electron Vorticity in the Earth’s Magnetosheath
Authors: Li Yijun , Yuan Zhigang , Huang Shiyong , Jiang Kui , Wu Honghong
Published: August 2024

The Earth’s magnetosheath serves as a natural laboratory to study the transition of highly turbulent fluctuations. The fundamental information about plasma turbulences can be examined observationally with the help of electron vorticity measurements. This study presents the first statistics of the electron vorticity field in the magnetosheath by utilizing 4 yr data from NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale mission. In this study, the magnetosheath vorticity has a dominant perpendicular anisotropy. The vorticity field in the subsolar region is much stronger than that of magnetosheath flanks. Clear dusk-favored asymmetry for large vorticity is identified in the subsolar region. We examine that the electron flow vorticity in the turbulent magnetosheath is well anticorrelated with the electron density. The vorticity is of great importance in energy dissipation and electron heating in the magnetosheath flanks. This study can improve the current understanding of electron vorticity due to its ubiquitous role in space plasma turbulences.

Published: August 2024

We present a direct measurement of extinction curves using corrected Gaia XP spectra of the common sources in Gaia DR3 and LAMOST DR7. Our analysis of approximately 370,000 high-quality samples yielded a high-precision average extinction curve for the Milky Way. After incorporating infrared photometric data from Two Micron All Sky Survey and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the extinction curve spans wavelengths from 0.336 to 4.6 μm. We determine an average R
55 of 2.730 ± 0.007, corresponding to R
V = 3.073 ± 0.009, and a near-infrared power-law index α of 1.935 ± 0.037. Our study confirmed some intermediate-scale structures within the optical range. One new feature was identified at 540 nm, and its intensity exhibited a correlation with extinction. This extinction curve can be used to investigate the characteristics of dust and enhance the extinction correction of Milky Way stars. A Python package for this extinction curve is available.

We present the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovery of SN 2023adsy, a transient object located in a host galaxy JADES-GS+53.13485−27.82088 with a host spectroscopic redshift of 2.903 ± 0.007. The transient was identified in deep (JWST)/NIRCam imaging from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program. Photometric and spectroscopic follow-up with NIRCam and NIRSpec, respectively, confirm the redshift and yield UV-NIR light-curve, NIR color, and spectroscopic information all consistent with a Type Ia classification. Despite its classification as a likely SN Ia, SN 2023adsy is both fairly red (c ∼ 0.9) despite a host galaxy with low extinction and has a high Ca ii velocity (19,000 ± 2000 km s−1) compared to the general population of SNe Ia. While these characteristics are consistent with some Ca-rich SNe Ia, particularly SN 2016hnk, SN 2023adsy is intrinsically brighter than the low-z Ca-rich population. Although such an object is too red for any low-z cosmological sample, we apply a fiducial standardization approach to SN 2023adsy and find that the SN 2023adsy luminosity distance measurement is in excellent agreement (≲1σ) with ΛCDM. Therefore unlike low-z Ca-rich SNe Ia, SN 2023adsy is standardizable and gives no indication that SN Ia standardized luminosities change significantly with redshift. A larger sample of distant SNe Ia is required to determine if SN Ia population characteristics at high z truly diverge from their low-z counterparts and to confirm that standardized luminosities nevertheless remain constant with redshift.

Published: August 2024

Background/Aims: This study aimed to assess the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic on nationally notifiable infectious diseases (NNIDs) in South Korea.Methods: Long-term data on seven NNIDs from 2018 to 2021 were analyzed to identify trends and change points using a change point detection technique. The timings of the NPI implementations were compared to the identified change points to determine their association.Results: Varicella, mumps, and scarlet fever showed a significant decrease in incidence following the implementation of NPIs during the COVID-19 pandemic. These diseases, which are primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets, demonstrated a clear response to NPIs. However, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) showed an increasing trend unrelated to the timing of NPI implementation, suggesting the complex nature of controlling healthcare-associated infections. Hepatitis A, hepatitis C, and scrub typhus did not show significant changes associated with NPIs, likely due to their non-respiratory route of transmission.Conclusions: NPIs effectively controlled NNIDs, particularly those transmitted through respiratory infections. However, the impact varied depending on the disease. Understanding the effectiveness and limitations of NPIs is crucial for developing comprehensive public health strategies during infectious disease outbreaks.
Distance spectrum of some zero divisor graphs
Authors: Jamal Fareeha , Imran Muhammad
Published: August 2024

In the present article, we give the distance spectrum of the zero divisor graphs of the commutative rings $ \mathbb{Z}_{t}[x]/\langle x^{4} \rangle $ ($ t $ is any prime), $ \mathbb{Z}_{t^2}[x] / \langle x^2 \rangle $ ($ t \geq 3 $ is any prime) and $ \mathbb{F}_{t}[u] / \langle u^3 \rangle $ ($ t $ is an odd prime), where $ \mathbb{Z}_{t} $ is an integer modulo ring and $ \mathbb{F}_{t} $ is a field. We calculated the inertia of these zero divisor graphs and established several sharp bounds for the distance energy of these graphs.
Analysis of rumor spreading with different usage ranges in a multilingual environment
Authors: Huang Liuqin , Wang Jinling , Li Jiarong , Ma Tianlong
Published: August 2024

This paper investigates rumor propagation in a multilingual environment, taking into account language usage variations. Firstly, a 2I2S2R model is proposed within a heterogeneous network framework that incorporates both immunologic and cross-transmitted mechanisms. Secondly, the paper calculates the basic reproduction number $ R_0 $ by the next-generation matrix method. Thirdly, the local asymptotic stability and the global asymptotic stability are further explored, which indicate that whether the rumor continuously spreads or becomes extinct is determined by the threshold. Finally, the numerical simulation and sensitivity analysis are given to illustrate the effectiveness of theoretical results and the influence of model parameters on rumor spreading.

Published: August 2024

The Middle East is widely recognised as one of the most influential regions in the world, primarily due to its rich cultural diversity encompassing linguistic, ethnic and religious variations. However, despite the potential significance of myths in shaping national identity and political developments, limited research has been conducted in this area. This study aimed to explore the role of myths in the political governance of Iraq during the period from 1958 to 2003, a challenging era within the Middle East. Considering Iraq’s ancient history, this research sought to elucidate the ideological perspectives of the rulers during the republican era, as well as the factors influencing their selection of specific myths for political purposes. It is worth noting that this study can contribute to enhancing awareness in future investigations on the role of myths in political governance across other regions within the Middle East.
To See and to Respect: On the Relations between Humans, Supernatural Beings and the Landscape in Northeast Iceland
Authors: Svetel Ana
Published: August 2024

This article explores selected aspects of relationships between humans, supernatural beings and the landscape in Northeast Iceland. The landscape is understood as a changeable and dynamic dimension, encompassing all the continuously emerging processes of the terrain, vegetation, land, water, gases and atmospheric phenomena. In local perceptions, both humans, with their social practices and meaning-making, and non-humans – in our case especially supernatural beings – are integrated into this dynamic landscape. Belief traditions and interactions with the supernatural have an influence on agricultural and everyday practices, as well as on the social relationships within the community. Moreover, they are always situated in a specific environment. This intertwining of visible and invisible, material and immaterial elements and actors brings forth the question of respect, through which we can think the complex relationality between humans, non-humans and the landscape.
Entrepreneurship and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in STEM Teacher Education in High Schools
Authors: Zhou Chunfang , Frisdahl Lars
Published: August 2024

In high schools, entrepreneurship has been paid much attention in STEM education. Creativity has been addressed as one of key dimensions in a complex pattern of entrepreneurship development. This chapter aims to answer two research questions: a) How can we understand creativity, entrepreneurship, and STEM education are interconnected in the context of high school education? and b) How can we employ Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to facilitate STEM teachers to improve the integration of entrepreneurship into daily teaching practice? Accordingly, a theoretical framework is addressed that a) underpins students' everyday creativity experience as the starting point to improve entrepreneurship in STEM education, and b) reflects the needs of implementation of creative pedagogies such as PBL. This leads to a design of a STEM teacher education program that helps to develop entrepreneurship in STEM education in high schools. Accordingly, this chapter contributes to the implications of preparing future entrepreneurs for facing complex challenges in professional practice and societies.
