Authors: Stachoń Aleksandra , Pietraszewska Jadwiga , Burdukiewicz Anna
Published: January 2025

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate how the biological condition and isometric strength differ between the groups of physically active young people, those who have previously experienced social isolation associated with the COVID-19 lockdown and those who have not. Such isolation involved a reduction in physical activity.
Methods: During the observational study, 876 women and men aged 18-23 years, who started studying in University of Health and Sport Sciences, were examined (572 – before pandemic, 304 – after lockdown). Biological condition was assessed based
on selected features treated as indicators of health risk. Anthropometric measurements, body composition analysis using the bioelectrical impedance method and tests of upper and lower limb and back muscle strength were performed. Selected indices were calculated: Body Mass Index, Waist to Hip Ratio, Waist to Height Ratio, Body Adiposity Index, Subcutaneous Fat Distribution Index, Body Cell Mass Index.
Results: As a result of social isolation, gender-dependent changes in biological condition and strength was observed. People who experienced isolation were characterized by a higher percentage of fat (P= .001 for both sexes) and a lower percentage of muscle (P= .001 for men and P= .011 for women), with greater difference in fat content observed in women. Increased body circumferences were observed only in the females (for hip circumference P= .008, for arm circumference P= .009)
and decreased strength only in the males (for right hand and back P= .001, for left hand P= .006 and for leg P= .011). Fat distribution pattern changed only among women – those who have experienced lockdown presented greater fatness around the waist (P= .029 for Waist to Hip Ratio). Conclusion: It can be concluded that the experience of social isolation associated with physical activity restriction increased the health risk and decreased strength of young people in a gender-specific manner.

A partir del volumen actual (año 2025) estamos implementado unos ligeros cambios en los aspectos formales de la revista. Los cambios responden a la necesidad de actualizar algunos estilos de uso común en la mayoría de las revistas del área.
Por ejemplo, la cláusula “et al.” la usaremos ahora con letra cursivas. Desde la creación de la revista en el año 1983 se adoptó el uso de letras normales para la cláusula. La inercia mantuvo este estilo desde entonces; ello a pesar de que en nuestras pautas para los autores se ordena el uso de letras cursivas para los términos escritos en latín, u otro idioma sin equivalente aún en español.
Otro ajuste formal se refiere al uso de la p de probabilidad estadística. La usábamos como P mayúscula, y ahora será p minúscula.
Ratificamos que los manuscritos escritos en español deben utilizar lenguaje formal, sin extranjerismos. Los únicos términos no incluidos en la RAE que utilizamos son e-mail (por correo electrónico), W (por oeste), SD (por desviación estándar), SE (por error estándar) y ANOVA (por análisis de la varianza).
Entre otros ajustes, queda aún pendiente la definición del estilo para escribir las referencias bibliográficas. Desde su inicio, Bioagro utilizó una modificación del sistema Harvard, el mayormente utilizado en ciencias para la época. Sin embargo, debemos migrar a uno de los sistemas preestablecidos entre los existentes en los gestores bibliográficos de la actualidad, y de esta manera facilitar a los autores la redacción de los manuscritos, y uniformizar el estilo en todos los artículos. Esperamos definir en el próximo volumen el nuevo estilo a utilizar.

Published: January 2025

One of the benefits of shade-grown coffee crops is litter deposition, which can improve nutrient cycling and increase organic matter in the soil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the contribution of tree species in the production and deposition of litter, as well as in the potential of nutrient cycling in a coffee crop. Litter samplings were carried out in the tree planting rows (TPR) and between tree planting rows (TPI). Four deposition points were sampled in the TPR and TPI, spaced apart at 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 m from the trunk of the trees (Anadenanthera falcata, Peltophorum dubium and Cassia grandis). Nine samplings were carried out between October 2016 and September 2017. Higher deposition occurred in May, August, and September, and it was higher in the TPR. The species that most contributed to the deposition were the coffee plants and C. grandis. The coffee crop showed the highest accumulation of nutrients owing to the higher deposition of litter and higher levels of N, K and Mg, while C. grandis was the forest species that concentrated most Ca and S. The influence of forest species on nutrient cycling is minimal, primarily due to the reduced contribution of litter compared to coffee trees.

Due to their high dry matter production and balanced nutritive value per unit area, Elephant grass cultivars are excellent for bulky supplementation during the dry season. The objective was to evaluate the productivity and nutritive value of the BRS Capiaçu cultivar through different cutting ages after planting. The experimental design was conducted in completely randomized blocks, with four cutting ages: 60, 90, 120, and 150 days, each with five replications (blocks), totaling 20 experimental units, covering a total area of 12 m². As age advanced, linear increases in productivity were observed (p≤0.01), reaching an average height of 4.60 m, a green matter productivity of 252.60 t·ha-1, and a dry matter productivity of 67.36 t·ha-1 at 150 days after planting. Regarding nutritional value, linear increments (p≤0.01) were found in dry matter, organic matter, and neutral detergent fiber levels, while mineral matter and crude protein exhibited a linear reduction (p≤0.01). However, no effects (p>0.17) were observed with advancing cutting age after planting for acid detergent fiber, and hemicellulose variables. It is concluded that increasing the cutting age reduces the forage's nutritional value. From this perspective, the 90-day age proved to be more suitable for cutting BRS Capiaçu elephant grass.

Introduction. The problem of processing waste from the mining and metallurgical complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including manganese ore processing waste, is relevant both from a technological (expanding the raw material base and assortment of marketable products) and from a geoecological (minimizing waste, preserving resources and the environment) point of view. The purpose of this work is to study the possibility of processing manganese ore processing waste from some deposits in Kazakhstan into phosphating solutions. Results and discussion. Using electron-probe, energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence, X-ray phase analysis, the material and mineral composition of manganese ore concentration wastes from the Borly, Zhayrem and Altyn-Shoko deposits was studied. It was found that the total content of soluble compounds in the productive solution of phosphate leaching of waste from Borly is 3.0-3.1 g/l with a ratio of total acidity to free acidity of 1.6-1.9, which excludes the possibility of using this solution to create anti-corrosion coatings. Productive solutions of phosphate leaching of manganese ore concentration wastes of Zhayrem and Altyn-Shoko deposits have total content of soluble dihydrogen phosphates of 26.0-29.3 g/l (Zhayrem) and 30.2-34.5 g/l (Altyn-Shoko) with total acidity to free acidity ratio of 1.8-2.7. Conclusion. The possibility of obtaining anticorrosive phosphating solutions based on manganese ore concentration wastes from the Zhaipem and Altyn-Shoko deposits is shown.

Authors: Reis Marcos Ribeiro , Coutinho Diógenes José Gusmão
Published: January 2025

O presente artigo analisa as políticas públicas e os marcos legais da educação inclusiva no Brasil, abordando seu desenvolvimento histórico, avanços, desafios e perspectivas. A educação inclusiva, fundamental para a promoção de uma sociedade equitativa, é garantida por uma série de legislações que buscam assegurar o direito à educação para todos. Com base em uma abordagem qualitativa, de cunho bibliográfico e documental, foram revisados documentos legais, estudos acadêmicos e políticas educacionais, incluindo a Constituição Federal de 1988, a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (1996) e a Lei Brasileira de Inclusão (2015). A pesquisa evidenciou que, apesar de avanços significativos, como o fortalecimento da acessibilidade pedagógica e arquitetônica, ainda persistem barreiras relacionadas à insuficiência de infraestrutura, formação docente inadequada e resistências socioculturais, que limitam a implementação plena das políticas inclusivas. A análise destaca a importância de estratégias articuladas e intersetoriais que promovam o uso de tecnologias assistivas, investimentos em qualificação docente e maior sensibilização da sociedade. Conclui-se que o fortalecimento das políticas existentes, aliado a novos estudos empíricos que investiguem a percepção de gestores, professores e alunos, é essencial para consolidar a educação inclusiva como um direito universal e um mecanismo para a construção de uma sociedade mais justa e democrática. O artigo contribui para o debate ao identificar lacunas e propor caminhos para o aprimoramento das práticas inclusivas no Brasil.
Impacts of Atmospheric Dynamics on Sea-Ice and Snow Thickness at a Coastal Site in East Antarctica

Abstract. Antarctic sea ice and its snow cover play a pivotal role in regulating the global climate system. Understanding the intricate interplay between atmospheric dynamics, ocean circulation and mixed-layer properties, and sea ice is essential for predicting future climate change scenarios. This study investigates the relationship between atmospheric conditions and sea-ice and snow characteristics at a coastal East Antarctic site using in situ measurements from the winter-spring of 2022. Congruent with previous studies, the observed sea-ice thickness (SIT) follows the seasonal solar cycle with only minor deviations, while the snow thickness variability corresponds closely to cyclonic atmospheric forcing, with significant contributions from katabatic flows and atmospheric rivers (ARs). The in-situ measurements highlight the substantial effects of warm and moist air intrusions on the sea-ice, snow and atmospheric state. A high-resolution simulation with the Polar Weather Research and Forecasting model for the 14 November AR highlights the effects of the katabatic winds in slowing down the low-latitude air masses as they approach the Antarctica coastline, with the resulting low-level convergence leading to precipitation rates above 3 mm hr-1. Including the observed sea-ice extent and a realistic SIT in the model does not yield more skillful predictions of surface/near-surface variables and atmospheric profiles. This suggests other factors such as boundary-layer dynamics and/or land/ice processes may play a more important role than sea-ice concentration and thickness during AR events. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the complex interactions within the Antarctic system, providing valuable insights for climate modeling and future predictions.
A high-resolution physical-biogeochemical model for marine resource applications in the Northern Indian Ocean (MOM6-COBALT-IND12 v1.0)

Abstract. We introduce and evaluate the regional ocean model MOM6-COBALT-IND12 version 1 coupling the MOM6 ocean dynamics model to the Carbon, Ocean Biogeochemistry and Lower Trophics (COBALT) biogeochemical model at a horizontal resolution of 1/12°. The model covers the northern Indian Ocean (north of 8° S), central to the livelihoods and economies of countries that comprise about one-third of the world’s population. We demonstrate that the model effectively captures the key physical and biogeochemical basin-scale features related to seasonal monsoon reversal, interannual Indian Ocean Dipole and multi-decadal variability, as well as intraseasonal and fine-scale variability (e.g., eddies and planetary waves), which are all essential for accurately simulating patterns of coastal upwelling, primary productivity, temperature, salinity, and oxygen levels. Well represented features include the timing and amplitude of the monsoonal blooms triggered by summer coastal upwelling and winter mixing, the strong contrast between the high evaporation / high salinity Arabian Sea and high precipitation / high runoff / low salinity Bay of Bengal, the seasonality of the Great Whirl gyre and coastal Kelvin upwelling/downwelling waves, as well as the physical and biogeochemical patterns associated with intraseasonal and interannual variability. A major model bias is the larger oxygen minimum zone simulated in the Bay of Bengal, a common challenge of ocean and Earth system models in this region. This bias was partly mitigated by improving the representation of the export and burial of organic detritus to the deep ocean (e.g., sinking speed, riverine lithogenic material inputs that protect organic material and burial fraction) and water-column denitrification (e.g., nitrate-based respiration at higher oxygen levels) using observational constraints. These results indicate that the regional MOM6-COBALT-IND12 v1.0 model is well suited for physical and biogeochemical studies on timescales ranging from weeks to decades, in addition to supporting marine resource applications and management in the northern Indian Ocean.

Published: January 2025

Abstract. The northwestern region of Bangladesh holds untapped potential for magnetic mineral deposits at shallow depths. Unlike much of Bangladesh, characterized by thick sediments of Bengal Basin, this area is an extension of the Indian Shield, often referred to as the Stable Platform. It is also geologically distinct, hosting structures related to the breakup of Pangea. The geology and tectonics of this region have remained largely understudied. To address this gap, this study integrates gravity, magnetic, seismic, and drilling data to investigate the subsurface structure and evaluate the resource potential of the area. We utilize advanced filtering and modeling techniques, including tilt derivatives and horizontal gradient methods, to understand the tectonic framework and geometry of the subsurface structures. Our spatial analysis, using multiple geophysical datasets, reveals distinct magnetic anomalies characterized by alternating magnetic highs and lows, which we attribute to gabbroic intrusions along extensional faults that define the region's horst and graben structures. To validate our interpretations, we developed an integrated 2-D subsurface model that aligns with the observed geophysical data. However, the study is limited by the availability of high-resolution seismic data and the sparse distribution of drilling locations, which may affect the precision of our subsurface characterization. Our findings provide crucial insights into the tectonic evolution of the stable platform and underscore the economic potential of the Rangpur Saddle, the shallowest part of the stable platform, for mineral exploration. These insights pave the way for further exploration and development initiatives focused on uncovering the mineral wealth of this underexplored region.
Modelling convective cell life cycles with a copula-based approach
Authors: Tseng Chien-Yu , Wang Li-Pen , Onof Christian
Published: January 2025

Abstract. This study proposes an algorithm designed to model convective cell life cycles, for the purpose of improving the representation of convective storms in rainfall modelling and forecasting. We propose to explicitly model cell property inter-dependence and temporal evolution. To develop the algorithm, 165 effective convective storm events occurring between 2005 and 2017 in Birmingham, UK, were selected. A state-of-the-art storm tracking algorithm was employed to reconstruct convective cell life cycles within each selected event. The investigation of these cell life cycles proceeded in three stages. The initial stage involved statistically characterising individual properties of convective cells, including rainfall intensity, spatial extent at peaks and lifespan. Subsequently, an examination of the inter-correlations amongst these properties was conducted. In the final stage, the focus was on examining the evolution of these cell properties during their lifetimes. We found that the growth and decay rates of cell properties are correlated with the cell properties themselves, hence the need to incorporate this correlation structure into the process of sampling convective cells. To resolve the dependence structures within convective cell evolution, a novel algorithm based on vine copulas is proposed. We show the proposed algorithm's ability to sample cell life cycles, preserving both observed individual cell properties and their dependence structures. To enhance the algorithm's applicability, it is linked to an exponential shape model to synthesise spatial fields for each individual convective cell. This defines a model that can readily be incorporated into rainfall generators and forecasting tools.
Validated probabilistic approach to estimate flood direct impacts on the population and assets on European coastlines
Authors: Duo Enrico , Montes Juan , Le Gal Marine , Fernández-Montblanc Tomás , Ciavola Paolo , Armaroli Clara
Published: January 2025

Abstract. This work presents the approach used to estimate coastal flood impact, developed within the EU H2020 European Coastal Flood Awareness System (ECFAS) project, for assessing flood direct impacts on population, buildings, and roads along European coasts. The methodology integrates object-based and probabilistic evaluations to provide uncertainty estimates for damage assessment. The approach underwent a user-driven co-evaluation process. It was applied to 16 test cases across Europe and validated against reported impact data in three major reference cases: Xynthia in La Faute-sur-Mer (France) in 2010, Xaver in Norfolk (UK) in 2013, and Emma in Cádiz (Spain) in 2018. A comparison with grid-based damage evaluation methods was also conducted. The findings demonstrate that the ECFAS impact approach offers valuable estimates for affected populations, reliable damage assessments for buildings and roads, and improved accuracy compared to traditional grid-based approaches. The methodology also provides information for prevention and preparedness activities, and it facilitates further evaluations of risk scenarios and cost–benefit analysis of disaster risk reduction strategies. The approach is a tool suitable for large-scale coastal flood impact assessments, offering improved accuracy and operational capability for coastal flood forecasts. It represents a potential advancement of the existing European-scale impact method used by the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) for riverine flood warnings. The integration of object-based and probabilistic evaluations, along with uncertainty estimation, enhances the understanding and management of flood impacts along European coasts.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to optimize the feature selection process on student complaint data regarding academic services in universities using the Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) method. Student complaints' diverse and complex nature requires in-depth analysis to identify crucial features that affect service satisfaction. An accurate feature selection process can help universities understand the most frequently reported issues, enabling them to respond and improve services more effectively. The research utilizes complaint data from various aspects of academic services, such as administration, facilities, and faculty interactions. After preprocessing the data to remove noise and irrelevant entries, RFE is applied to select the most relevant features. Subsequently, a classification model is built using the selected features to identify the most significant complaint patterns. Model evaluation is conducted through cross-validation techniques to ensure accuracy and reliability, with metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The results demonstrate that the RFE method significantly enhances model performance in selecting essential features, making the classification model more efficient and accurate in predicting student complaints. Thus, this study contributes significantly to assisting universities in enhancing the quality of academic services through a more targeted analysis of student complaints. Implementing this method will improve the complaint-handling process and increase overall student satisfaction

This review study was conducted in two stages, between September 2024 and December 2024. As a result of the literature review, a total of five studies were thoroughly researched and examined. These studies evaluated the impact of AI technologies on the treatment of anxiety personality disorders with the advancement of AI technology. The findings from the studies revealed that AI technologies have significant potential in monitoring and managing anxiety levels associated with personality disorders. However, some studies also observed that the rapidly advancing nature of AI could increase anxiety levels in individuals related to technology. It was especially emphasized that personalized AI applications should be used more cautiously in the treatment of personality disorders. In conclusion, AI-assisted tools should be applied after careful design to address anxiety personality disorders. More experimental studies are needed to better understand the effects in this field. Additionally, to minimize the negative outcomes of AI-based applications, it is essential that they are developed within an ethical framework and tailored to individuals' needs.

As part of the World Health Organization’s One Health Initiative, vector-borne disease control requires multidisciplinary and community involvement. This review examined community-based mosquito control intervention methods, their efficacy, and limitations. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline, data were extracted from four medical databases: PubMed, Clinical Key, ProQuest, and ScienceDirect, covering the period from 2014 to 2023. The search used the keywords "community intervention," "vector control," and "mosquito." Filters were applied for full text, primary sources, scholarly journals, and publications within the last ten years (2014–2023). Studies without community intervention components were excluded. The initial search retrieved 1,035 articles, and 32 full-text articles were selected and assessed for eligibility, with 15 papers included in the final analysis. The included studies focused on arbovirus or malaria vectors and used randomized controlled trials (RCTs), pre- and post-intervention surveys, community-based implementation surveys, or qualitative research designs. Commonly applied interventions included community-driven vector population control and community education. Overall, the studies reported improvements in outcome measures such as entomological indices, community knowledge and practices, costs, and disease incidence or prevalence. However, some studies reported challenges with community perception and acceptance. In conclusion, this review consistently demonstrated a positive impact of community interventions on managing mosquito control.

The rising threat of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) highlights the need to understand factors influencing vaccine adoption. The aim of this study was to explore the willingness to vaccinate and vaccine acceptance preferences among Millennials and Generation Z in Vietnam. Convenience sampling was conducted, after which a traditional discrete choice experiment was performed. Participants were tasked with selecting their preferred options from a set of eight vaccination choice tasks, each consisting of two alternatives distinguished by varying degrees of vaccine efficacy, side effects, influential endorsements, trusted sources, and disease susceptibility through literature reviews, expert interviews, and pilot tests. A minimum sample size of 375 participants was recruited via Internet-based and paper-based surveys.  A latent class model was used to explore the heterogeneity in participant preferences, while a mixed logit model was employed to facilitate the computation of the predicted probabilities of vaccine acceptance. Among the 818 included participants, 494 (60.4%) were Millennials generation. The predicted probability of vaccine acceptance was 61.8%, with slight differences between Millennials (62.4%) and Generation Z (61.0%). Four latent classes with significant preference variations were identified. Class 1 (38%) was influenced by vaccine effectiveness, side effects, and health authority recommendations, showing lower opt-out rates. Class 2 (28%) prioritized vaccine effectiveness and authority recommendations but had higher opt-out rates and a stronger religious influence. Class 3 (23%) focused on vaccine effectiveness and side effects, with a tendency to opt-out. Class 4 (11%) valued high vaccine effectiveness and advice from family, with infection risks to family or local areas being significant motivators. Influential voices were more important in Classes 1 and 2, while side effects and effectiveness were prioritized in Classes 3 and 4. In conclusion, Vietnamese Millennials and Generation Z preferred vaccination when the vaccine had 90% efficacy, mild to moderate side effects, endorsements from the Ministry of Health, positive recommendations from family and social networks, and high exposure risks from family members.

English has functioned as a lingua franca to communicate among countries. As an international lingua franca, English should be mastered by all employees who work in the hospitality industry. This Research aims at analyzing types of grammatical errors found in the Front Office department, and finding out the factors causing the hoteliers to commit errors. The type of this research was a descriptive case study with triangulation technique. In the first technique the researcher used a writing project to collect the data, for the second technique the researcher collected the data through questionnaire, and the third technique the researcher used an interview to collect the data. The researcher used a writing project to obtain the data about errors in writing. Questionnaires and interviews were provided to obtain the additional data about how they learned English in their life. The results of this study show that there are 110 errors made by the hoteliers. All of the errors are categorized into five types: 1. omission errors (50 errors or 45, 45%), 2. misinformation errors (15 errors or 13,63%), 3. misordering errors (35 errors or 31,8%), 4. overgeneralization errors (10 errors or 9%). Furthermore, the researcher found that there was a perception owned by hoteliers that learning English can be used through translating Indonesian language into English language. This habit created interlanguage errors in their English. The interlanguage error occurred due to over-literal translation conducted by the hoteliers in producing English in which not all words of English can be translated directly into Indonesian language
Poor listening skills, a barrier to effective communication
Authors:   Moldova State University, NIȚA Mariana
Published: January 2025

Listening skills play an important role not only in our daily life, but also in our professional life. In fact, this skill is considered to be the greatest challenge to be developed because when talking to a new audience, we are trying to attract people’s attention by making use of different strategies. We want them to listen to us, not just hear. By honing our listening ability, we are improving our relationship with the audience, we may gain more control on our needs and interests. This paper explores the significance of listening skills in building up closer relationships with our peers, and in broading our level of academic knowledge. Studying a new language means that we are exposed to new sounds, new vocabulary that is quite difficult to understand if you do not interact with people who speak the target language. As 14th Dalai Lama said, “When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new.”
