Da janela da minha casa: aprendizagens com pedagogias quilombolas por meio de imagens cinematográficas
Authors: Paz Rosa Fábio José
Published: February 2022

Este artigo integra as atividades de uma pesquisa produtividade sobre cinema negro quilombola com estudantes do curso de Pedagogia de uma universidade privada em uma perspectiva decolonial. Após exibirmos o filme Até onde a vista alcança (2011), de Felipe Peres Calheiro, evidenciamos na análise fílmica três categorias para pensarmos processos de formação docente pelas epistemologias quilombolas: a corporeidade, a natureza e a territorialidade. A partir desses conceitos, orientamos as estudantes a exercitar e produzir o Minuto Lumière cujas imagens evidenciaram sensibilidades para a constituição de outras estéticas por meio de aquilombamentos em tempos de pandemia da COVID-19 e isolamento social.

Authors: zhu zhu , Qian Chenyue , Su Cunjing , Tao Hong , Mao Jiaojiao , Guo Zhe , Zhu Xinyi , Pan Jie
Published: February 2022

Aims: This study aimed to analyze associations between genetic variants
and plasma concentrations along with clinical outcomes in dabigatran in
patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Methods: We
conducted a prospective study and enrolled NVAF patients treated with
dabigatran in the real world. A total of 86 patients treated with 110 mg
DE twice daily were recruited for this study. Blood samples were
obtained from each patient and used for genotyping and determination of
plasma dabigatran concentration. All bleeding and thromboembolic
complications were recorded during the 1.5 years of follow-up. Results:
Eighty-three patients provided samples at the trough plasma level of
dabigatran, and 58 patients provided samples at the peak plasma level of
dabigatran. There was a significant association between the CES1 SNP
rs8192935 and trough plasma concentrations of dabigatran (P=0.013). The
ABCB1 SNP rs4148738 was associated with major bleeding events in the
addictive model (P=0.046, OR=3.29) and dominant model (P=0.040,
OR=8.17). Additionally, the ABCB1 SNP rs1045642 was associated with the
incidence of major bleeding events in the addictive model (P=0.043,
OR=3.34) and dominant model (P=0.046, OR=7.77). However, no significant
associations were found between all the SNPs and the incidence of minor
bleeding events. Conclusions: Our results indicated that the CES1
polymorphism rs8192935 was associated with trough plasma concentrations
of dabigatran. Carriers of the G allele had increased trough plasma
concentrations of dabigatran compared to noncarriers. The ABCB1
polymorphisms rs4148738 and rs1045642 were associated with an increased
risk for major bleeding events for the first time in a Chinese
population.

Authors: Huang Xiao , Zhou Ying , Zhang Jing , Xiang Hongping , Mei Hao , Liu Li , Tong Lu , Zeng Fang , Huang Yifei , Zhou Hong , Zhang Yu
Published: February 2022

Aims: Voriconazole is the mainstay for the treatment for invasive fungal
infections in heart transplant patients and significantly increase
tacrolimus exposure because of drug-drug interaction (DDI). However, the
magnitude of this DDI is highly variable and hard to predicted. The
purpose of this study was to present the characteristics of DDI between
tacrolimus and voriconazole, and further identify the predictors of
tacrolimus dose modification. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 69
heart transplant recipients without using voriconazole as the control
and 68 patients received voriconazole treatment in voriconazole group.
CYP3A4*1G, CYP3A5*3 and CYP2C19*2 or *3 were genotyped by Sanger
sequencing. The requirement of tacrolimus dose for therapeutic
concentrations and tacrolimus dose-corrected trough concentration (C0/D)
before and after VRC administration were evaluated. Results: The DDI
between tacrolimus and voriconazole was in a large inter-individual
variability with more than ten-fold changes in tacrolimus dose (range
1.28–13.00) and C0/D (range 1.43–13.75). Besides, the fold changes of
tacrolimus dose were associated with CYP2C19 genotype, which was
significantly lower in CYP2C19 extensive metabolizers than that in
CYP2C19 intermediate metabolizers or poor metabolizers (4.06±1.85 vs
5.49±2.47, p=0.0031). While no significant difference was found in both
CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 genotypes. Moreover, CYP2C19 genotype and hematocrit
were independent predicting factors for tacrolimus dose modification
after voriconazole co-therapy. Conclusions: This study provided a
potential basis for comprehensive factors to adjust tacrolimus dosage
when co-administrated with voriconazole in individual patients. CYP2C19
genotype and hematocrit should be considered in tailoring tacrolimus
dose.
Molecular basis of intraspecific differentiation for heavy metal tolerance in the copper moss Scopelophila cataractae
Authors: Boquete M. Teresa , Schmid Marc W. , Wagemaker Niels C.A.M. , Carey Sarah B. , McDaniel Stuart F. , Richards Christina , Alonso Conchita
Published: February 2022

Bryophytes’ remarkable capacity to tolerate extreme abiotic conditions
allows us to enhance our understanding of the diversity of molecular
mechanisms involved in plant stress response. Here, we used next
generation sequencing to study DNA methylation and gene expression
changes in plants from four populations of the metallophyte moss
Scopelophila cataractae experimentally exposed to either Cd or
Cu. These populations previously showed differences in tolerance to both
metals, so here, we aimed at uncovering the molecular basis of this
phenotypic differentiation. We found no evidence of genetic
differentiation among the populations studied. The epigenetic data,
however, showed limited but significant population-specific changes in
DNA methylation in response to both metals. Exposure to acute Cu stress
in the laboratory led to the downregulation of genes involved in heavy
metal tolerance in both populations regardless of their tolerance level,
but this response was quantitatively higher in the most tolerant. We
propose that chronic exposure to varying levels of heavy metals in the
field led to potentially non-genetically-based intraspecific
differentiation for heavy metal tolerance in S. cataractae. The
most tolerant plants invested more in constitutive protection and were
more efficient in entering a conservative state when faced with acute Cu
stress.
Glacier hydrological process modeling based on improved SWAT+: A case study in the Upper Yarkant River Basin
Authors: Yang Chengde , Xu Min , Fu Congsheng , Kang Shichang , Luo Yi
Published: February 2022

Glaciers have proven to be a particularly sensitive indicator of climate
change, and the impact of glacier melting on downstream water supplies
is becoming increasingly important as the world’s population expands and
global warming continues. Data scarcity in mountainous catchments, on
the other hand, has been a substantial impediment to hydrological
process simulation. Therefore, an integrated glacier hydrological
process module was introduced for the Soil and Water Assessment Tool
Plus model (SWAT+), in which an enhanced temperature-index glacier melt
algorithm considering solar radiation was employed to maintain model
clarity and favorable performance in this study. Furthermore, SWATplusR
was introduced for sensitivity analysis using the Sobol approach, and
Integrated Parameter Estimation and Uncertainty Analysis Tool Plus
(IPEAT+) was coupled with this enhanced model (SWAT+Glacier) to perform
calibration and validation in the Upper Yarkant River (UYR) basin. The
result indicated that (i) including glacial-hydrological processes
considerably improved simulation precision, with an NSE promotion of 2.6
times and R of 1.7 times greater than the original
model; (ii) it is an efficient and feasible way to simulate
glacial-hydrological processes with SWAT+Glacier and calibrate it using
observed discharge data in data-scarce and glacier melt dominated
catchments; and (iii) we discovered that glacier runoff is intensively
distributed throughout the summer season, accounts for about 78.5% of
the annual glacier runoff, and glacier meltwater provides approximately
52.5% (4.4×10 m ) of total runoff
in the study area.
The Effect of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on Academic Libraries in Nigerian Universities

Published: February 2022

A descriptive study was conducted to look into the effects of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on academic libraries in Nigeria universities.. Four research questions guided the study. A review of the related literature was also carried out. The study took place in nine selected Nigerian universities. Survey participants were librarians and library officers from nine state-run university libraries. To collect data, the researchers had used san online survey template and a questionnaire. The information gathered was interpreted with descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate that university libraries have differing degrees of ICT infrastructure capacity. The automation of library materials has begun, and database technology has vastly increased information storage and retrieval. Insufficient library funding/financial assistance, as well as inadequate technological infrastructures, was also found. In order to provide efficient resources, any division in such an academic library should indeed be computerized. Governments should prioritize library funding and financial assistance in their budgets. Under their small budgets, management could perhaps emphasize ICT spending.. Keywords: ICT, Academic Library, CD-ROM,, Nigerian University.

Authors: Астапенко Диана В.
Published: February 2022

В статье представлен обзор теоретических обоснований и практических исследований самосознания подростков. Обозначены ключевые моменты для дальнейших исследований. Новизна исследования заключается в исследовании работ, посвящённых цифровому пространству, как новой области социальной реальности, формирующей самосознание молодого поколения. Становится актуальным вопрос о характерных чертах самосознания у молодых людей и влиянии виртуальной среды на него. Несмотря на имеющиеся данные о самосознании подростков, в условиях цифровизации образования, времени, проведенного не в сети, становится всё меньше, появляются недостаточно изученные проблемы коммуникации и социализации. Во Введении раскрываются причины необходимости нового взгляда на изучение самосознания. В первую очередь это изменение социальной среды подростков, включающей в себя цифровое пространство, в которое они погружаются в свободное время, и повсеместная цифровизация образования. Обозначена важность подросткового периода в процессе формирования самосознания и дальнейшего становления собственной «Я-концепции». В Теоретическом обосновании автор, опираясь на культурно-историческую концепцию Л. С. Выготского, сделал обзор эмпирических исследований, посвященных становлению самосознания в контексте социальной среды. Далее рассматриваются средовые факторы, влияющие самосознание молодых людей.  Информационная среда, изменившая различные области социальной реальности, оказывает влияние на трансформацию ценностно-смысловой сферы подростков. Отмечена социальная значимость изучения самосознания современной молодёжи, как залога психического здоровья, удовлетворенности жизнью. Далее обозначены работы, посвященные проблематика клипового мышления у подростков, изменения в когнитивной, эмоциональной сферах. В Обсуждении результатов подчёркивается важность изучения самосознания молодых людей в условиях цифровизации образования, как феномена, приобретающего новые черты.
Образ артиста у представителей профессии и любителей сценического искусства: анализ стереотипных представлений
Authors: Комерова Наталья Е. , Гришина Анастасия В.
Published: February 2022

Статья посвящена изучению образа профессионального артиста посредством исследования стереотипных представлений о наличии, либо отсутствии определенных личностных качеств, что дает основания для анализа влияния стереотипов о профессии на восприятие личности в целом. Новизна заключается в рассмотрении стереотипных представлений самих артистов о том, какими качествами должен обладать «типичный» представитель актерской профессии. Во введении рассматриваются основные представления о личности профессионального артиста. Проанализированы исследования зарубежных и отечественных ученых в области психологии творчества, сценического искусства. Выводы театральных педагогов, искусствоведов, режиссеров имеют огромную практическую ценность для осмысления личности артиста и сценической деятельности в контексте психологической науки. Основными методами исследования выбраны «Анкета биполярных профилей» Т. Г. Стефаненко (в модификации Гришиной А. В., Комеровой Н. Е.) и анализ полученных данных с помощью статистического критерия U-Манна-Уитни. Результаты сравнительного анализа исследования двух групп (артистов профессионального театра и любителей сценического искусства) позволили выявить наиболее характерные для представителей профессии артиста условно «положительные» и условно «отрицательные» качества. Проведена оценка схожести и различия мнений респондентов относительно наличия данных качеств у «типичного» актера. В Обсуждении результатов сделаны выводы, что представления об образе артиста у обеих групп испытуемых схожи в части наличия у профессионального артиста высокого эмоционального интеллекта, оптимизма, эмоциональной возбудимости, высокой работоспособности, но имеют различия относительно таких свойств личности, как высокая самооценка, лень, тщеславие, пессимизм. Получены статистически значимые различия в оценке уровня тщеславия у представителей профессии. Так, профессиональные артисты считают, что артист менее тщеславен и более ленив, чем его оценивают любители сценического искусства.

Clash of Videos in the Cutting-Edge Medical Publications
Authors: Tymofieiev Oleksii
Published: February 2022

Analysis of the whole spectrum of peer-reviewed scientific publications shows first that an urgent need among both readers and practitioners (surgeons, radiologists) for
integration of videos/cine loops into papers and books exists. Second, the videos/cine loops should be integrated into print and electronic versions of journals via combination of usage web-links (for the online users or PDF readers) and QR codes. This approach from one hand allows the readers of print versions to watch cine loops/videos via quick scan of QR code. And on other hand the users of online/electronic version of the publication will not lose time with smartphones for scanning QR codes. All that will be needed is just click at the web link. But for the companies that don’t want to share electronic copies of the book is more reasonable to use only QR codes.
Nancy McKinstry, CEO Wolters Kluwer, in Management Scope Interview notes that “the customers were no longer looking purely for information, but also ‘actionable’ information to tell them what to do.” And those words are the holy truth. The role of this ‘actionable’ information in publications is constantly increasing. And maybe the scientific publication which gives us the best combination of text-picture-video material can win the battle for readers and authors attention.

Authors: Alber Nader , Ramadan Hatem
Published: February 2022

This paper attempts to investigate the effect of applying banking regulations on banking performance. This has been conducted on 19 MENA region countries (Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Palestine, Oman, Djibouti, Turkey, Kuwait, Jordan, and Mauritania), on a yearly basis over the period from 2008 to 2018.

Banking regulations have been measured by each of capital adequacy requirements (capital base to risk-weighted assets), liquidity requirements (liquid assets to total assets), legal reserve requirements (balances with CB to banks' deposit), leverage requirements (total equity to total assets) and provisions policy (total provisions to total capital), while Banking performance has been measured by each of banking efficiency using (data envelopment analysis "DEA" & operational efficiency ratio), banking stability (ABSI & Z-score indexes), credit risk ("non-performing loans" & "provisions for non-performing loans") and profitability (return on assets & return on equity).

Results indicate that there is a significant effect of applying banking regulations on each of "banking efficiency", "banking stability", "credit risk" and "profitability". This has been conducted using panel data analysis according to static panel models (SPM) according to three models (pooled regression, fixed effects, and random effects).

Derived from its importance, it is significant to consider offering quality customer service; However, if you want to improve the Mexican food restaurant sector, you must start by addressing all the problems that commonly occur in establishments on a day-to-day basis, derived from the support of a company with home delivery service in the state of Tlaxcala  significant increase in customer complaints was detected, such as; they do not deliver as promised, slow service, poor attention from employees and even some complaints with food hygiene. The objective of the research is to analyze the perception and expectations of customers and identify the factors that impact the quality of the service received in Mexican food restaurants in the central area of the state of Tlaxcala, taking the Servqual model as a reference. The Servqual instrument adapted to 45 clients was applied to know their expectations and perceptions, the research was carried out in 3 Mexican food restaurants located in: Apizaco, Chiautempan and Tlaxcala Capital. The results showed that customers are not satisfied with the service they receive from restaurants because in the gap analysis all variables are negative, although the difference between expectations and perceptions is not so significant, so they generally agree. depending on the service received. The most critical variables or those with the greatest impact are responsiveness and empathy.
Partial Desilting of Irrigation Tank to Enrich the Recharge Capacity
Authors: D Allwin , Ganesan Madhavi
Published: February 2022

The hydrology of Groundwater movement depends upon the physical and chemical characteristics of both soil and water. These features must be measured and related to subsurface storage space and water dynamics, so as to decide the feasibility of a site for recharge and to select suitable methods and systems of recharge. So that water may be efficiently stored underground and then used independently or conjunctively with releases from surface storage reservoirs.  In irrigation tanks, heavy siltation is the main limiting factor for percolation efficiency. The study of geology or soil characteristics in the tank bed for the infiltration recharging system is rather more important.  At the same time Hydraulic conductivity is also very important parameter. Therefore, estimates of initial infiltration rates are must for estimating hydraulic conductivities of infiltration system in irrigation tanks.  In this study, it has been planned to assess the recharge behavior of the tank bed in order to locate the highly permeable zone for desilting by conducting geophysical survey to demarcate the location for infiltration test. The results obtained from the infiltration test were correlated with the soil properties.  From the analysis, the recharge characteristics of the tank bed were assessed.

Authors: Sekhar Chandra
Published: February 2022

This paper deals with the investigation of mechanical properties by introducing micro size SiC particulates and Graphite particulates into Al-4.5%Cu alloy matrix. SiC and Graphite particle reinforced Al alloy metal matrix composites were prepared by stir casting method. Al-Cu alloy was taken as the base matrix to which SiC and Graphite particulates were used as reinforcements. 6 wt. % of SiC and Graphite particulates were added to the base matrix to fabricate Al-4.5Cu – 6 wt. % SiC and Al-4.5%Cu – 6 wt. % Graphite composites. For each composite, the reinforcement particles were pre-heated to a temperature of 600oC and then dispersed in steps of two into the vortex of molten Al-Cu alloy to improve wettability and distribution. The Micostructural study was done by using optical microscope, which revealed the uniform distribution of SiC and Graphite particles in matrix alloy. Mechanical properties like hardness, tensile and impact strength were evaluated as per ASTM standards. Hardness and tensile strength increased with addition of 6 wt. % of SiC particulates in the base matrix Al-Cu alloy compared to Al-Cu-6wt. % Graphite composites.

Authors: Ali Weaam Talaat
Published: February 2022

This work illustrates the performance of detraction of clutter (unwanted echo signals, which mask the desired target signal and make difficult to detect the target) as a result of binary  codes generating by genetic algorithm with length up to 105 bits, with use the minimum peak sidelobes as criteria for generation codes. Then, for further reduction of sidelobes, the mismatched optimum integrated sidelobe level filter (Wiener filter) is used with and without White Gaussian Noise. When the mismatched filter is used without noise, then the reduction of sidelobe level has the improvement of peak sidelobe level value on the average (4-15) dB, and for integrated sidelobe level value on the average (5-17) dB, which depends on the code length while it is accompanied by, signal to noise ratio loss level in range (0.2-1.4) dB. On other hand, when the mismatched filter is used with noise, the signal to noise ratio loss level is in range (0.2-1.4) dB.

To achieve this mathematical models were developed to monitor, predict and simulate the interaction characteristics of the bioreactor using the functional parameters for interaction of microbial and substrate concentration in a plug flow reactor system.  The MATLAB computer program language was used to determine the interaction relationship between the substrate and microbial concentration upon the influence of bioreactor volume, space time and discharge time. The characteristics of the behavior in terms of decrease in substrate concentration with increase in microbial concentrate revealed the interaction in the bioreactor with recycle.
Path Loss Prediction Model for GSM Fixed Wireless Access
Authors: Elechi Promise
Published: February 2022

This research investigated the effect of building materials on GSM signals quality. Measurements were conducted on MTN, Glo, Airtel and Etisalat networks using Radio Frequency Signal Tracker on six different building patterns. The results showed that building with alucoboard wall cladding had the highest signal loss while the sandcrete building/unrusted corrugated iron sheet roof had the least signal loss. Also, a model to predict signal penetration through building walls was developed. It was developed using the principles of Fresnel Refraction Coefficient and the knife-edge diffraction.  The total losses from the transmitter to the receiver was modelled as a combination of three different effects; losses due to free-space propagation from transmitter to building; the penetration loss was modelled as a combination of the wall penetration loss and the diffraction loss. The results show that despite the condition of the building walls, movement of people in the environment/room also affected the wireless signal quality as well as the chairs and gadgets in the room. The indoor signal path loss in the rooms increased from when the walls were plastered and continued until when the walls were covered with curtains, both rooms reduced by 4dBm. The mean squared error ranged between 1.6dBm and 2.1dBm with a standard deviation between 11.1 and 11.5.

A Non-domination Pareto-based Scale-Invariant Approach for Face Recognition
Authors: Kaur Taqdir , Dhir Renu
Published: February 2022

Human face recognition has presented a major challenge to the researchers from different domains enabling to enhance the security and pattern analysis. The different orientations, lighting, pose and facial expression of a human face constructs an array of similar images with variations. The identification of face under different circumstances has been the focus of the researchers from a decade to the present time. For face recognition   higher the number of feature may not lead to high recognition rate. Hence, the selection of the optimum features becomes primary concern. It reduces the feature size and increases the recognition rate.   Many algorithms have been proposed that fulfilled the goal of face recognition system but also comprises of some drawbacks. In this paper a novel Pareto-Optimized Evolutionary Approach with Scale Invariance Discrimination has been proposed. The algorithm extracts the set of relevant features from the given image. The optimization of the features is performed for finding the features that enhances the recognition rate. The algorithm performs the classification of the test image, given the set of training images to obtain the accuracy of human face identification. The recognition rate is evaluated to show the performance of the proposed approach with conventional methods.
