Authors: Kowalczewska-Madura Katarzyna , Dondajewska-Pielka Renata , Gołdyn Ryszard
Published: September 2022

Successful management of lake ecosystems used for recreation requires firstly an identification of nutrient sources. It is necessary to identify the factors causing the deterioration of water quality and to plan measures for their mitigation. Analyses of the external and internal nutrient loading were carried out for the hypereutrophic Raczyńskie Lake. The study included flows from lake tributaries, stormwater runoff from impermeable areas and direct catchment impact as external sources of nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as bottom sediments as an internal source of phosphorus. In the case of external sources, the largest load (about 80% of N and 67% of P) is supplied from croplands via the shoreline. Both external and internal loading was characterized by distinct seasonal variability. The loads from watercourses supplying the lake played the most significant role in spring, whereas the release of phosphorus from bottom sediments (accounting for 81.4% of the total P load) was responsible for cyanobacterial blooms in summer. In order to improve Raczyńskie Lake water quality it is crucial to implement both in-catchment and in-lake measures by means of diversion of stormwater runoff, reduction of nutrient content in some of tributaries at their inflow to the lake (gabions filled with dolomite surrounded by macrophytes) and restoration treatments aiming at the inactivation of phosphorus in the water column and reduction of its release from sediments.

The time of concentration is the time it takes a drop of water in a basin to travel from the most distant point to the outlet, and is one of the most important parameters, along with the morphometric characteristics, for determining the design flow rate in rainfall-runoff models. This study aims to determine the sensitivity of the parameters included in different equations for the calculation of the time of concentration. A case study was conducted on small, urbanized watersheds in the city of Montería, Colombia. The study uses information obtained through field work using GPS equipment and electronic total station, supplemented by geographic information contained in the city drawings of the local sewage company, which includes data on elevations above sea level with sub-metric precision. The time of concentration determined by the 12 empirical equations was compared to the results obtained from the equation proposed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), which was considered as a baseline formulation for the intricacy of calculation. Based on this comparison, it was found that the Carter equation is the one that best fits the results obtained from the NRCS equation because it displayed highly significant goodness of fit values. Even though the equations by Kirpich, Ventura, California Culvert Practice, Simas-Hawkins and TxDOT provide a relatively good fit compared to other empirical equations, they tend to over-estimate time of concentration values, which could lead to the under-estimation of the design flow rates. For this reason, sensitivity analysis of the parameters of these equations represents an alternative for improving the calculation of the time of concentration. The current research analyses deepen the influence of some parameters in the estimation of time of concentration. The research can also be used by designers and engineers in the city of Montería, Colombia, as an important reference to compute time of concentrations in urbanized watersheds.

Drought is an extreme phenomenon that will likely increase in frequency and severity in the current context of climate change. As such, it must be studied to improve the decision-making process in affected areas. As a semi-arid zone, the Guadalquivir River basin, located in the southern Iberian Peninsula, is an interesting area to perform this study. The relationship between meteorological and hydrological droughts is studied using drought indices with data from 1980 to 2012. The chosen indices are the Standardized Streamflow Index (SSI) and the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). Their correlations are calculated, based on SPEI accumulation periods, and these values are analyzed with a principal component analysis to find spatial patterns in drought behavior inside the basin. This analysis was performed for the continuous series and also for monthly series, to account for seasonal changes. It has been found that the relationship of drought types occurs at different time scales depending mainly on orography and catchment area. Two main patterns were found. Generally, for low altitudes and small catchment areas, accumulation periods are shorter indicating that hydrological system in this area respond rapidly to meteorological conditions. In mountainous parts of the basin, longer accumulation periods have a stronger influence due to effects such as snowmelt.
Land-Use and Land Cover Is Driving Factor of Runoff Yield: Evidence from A Remote Sensing-Based Runoff Generation Simulation
Authors: Xu Chaowei , Fu Hao , Yang Jiashuai , Gao Chan
Published: September 2022

The spatial distribution of water storage capacity has always been the critical content of the study of saturation-excess runoff. Xin’anjiang model uses the water storage capacity curve (WSCC) to characterize the distribution of water storage capacity for runoff yield calculation. However, the mathematical and physical foundations of WSCC are unclear, which is impossible to simulate runoff generation with complex basins accurately. To fill this gap, we considered the dominant role of basin physical characteristics in water storage capacity and developed a new integrated approach to solve the spatial distribution of water storage capacity (L-WSCC) to account for the spatiotemporal dynamics of their impact on runoff generation. The main contribution of L-WSCC was to confer WSCC more physical meaning and the spatial distribution of water storage capacity was explicitly represented more accurately, so as to better express the runoff generation and provide a new approach for runoff yield calculation in non-data basin. L-WSCC was applied to Misai basin in China and promising results had been achieved, which verified the rationality of the method (the mean Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE):0.86 and 0.82 in daily and hourly scale, respectively). Compared with WSCC, the performance of L-WSCC was improved (mean NSE: 0.82 > 0.78, mean absolute value of flood peak error (PE): 12.74% < 21.66%). Moreover, the results of local sensitivity analyses demonstrated that land-use and land cover was the major driving factor of runoff yield (the change of mean absolute error (ΔMAE): 131.38%). This work was significant for understanding the mechanisms of runoff generation, which can be used for hydrological environmental management and land-use planning.
Virtual Testing Workflows Based on the Function-Oriented System Architecture in SysML: A Case Study in Wind Turbine Systems
Authors: Zhang Yizhe , Roeder Julian , Jacobs Georg , Berroth Joerg , Hoepfner Gregor
Published: September 2022

Wind turbines (WT) are complex multidisciplinary systems containing a large number of mechanical, control, and electrical components. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) provides an approach for cross-discipline development to address the system complexity and focuses on creating and utilizing domain models as the primary means of information exchange. The domain models predict system behaviors and can support system validation through virtual testing at an early stage of system development. However, the further the WT development proceeds, the more system parameters are set, and the more domain models and virtual tests are involved. Therefore, it is necessary to design a framework of virtual testing workflows of WTs to support virtual validation processes as well as to automate those workflows. To achieve this goal, this contribution shows how standardized virtual testing workflows can be designed and linked to hierarchical and functional system architectures modeled in the Systems Modeling Language (SysML). The virtual testing workflows enable to trigger simulations of domain models and handle system parameters participating in the simulations, thus ensuring data consistency. Furthermore, to facilitate modular management and reuse of domain models, the domain models are classified according to model purposes, model fidelities, and system scopes. The virtual testing workflows are structured corresponding to the classification of the domain model, thereby forming a nested framework. To verify the feasibility of the proposed workflows, a virtual testing process of WT components (i.e., bearings) inside the system context with different model purposes and different model fidelities is demonstrated. It is shown that virtual testing workflows are systematically organized so that engineers can easily virtually (re-)validate the systems.
World on Data Perspective
Authors: Nasution Mahyuddin K. M.
Published: September 2022

It is not simple to consider the world from only one side, but analyzing all sides can cloud comprehension without reaching deep insight found at the core. In a word as a whole, there is potential for telling the whole world in one word, i.e., data, leading to interpretations as phenomena and paradigms at the core of this review. The tug of war between the two sides explains that data represent the world, or vice versa, and present a fundamental view that systems or subsystems frame the world, even though they are encoded and composed of culture, rules, or approaches such as the threshold of democracy. When the COVID-19 pandemic posed a threat, human efforts contributed to finding potentially answers to questions presented by the world: what, who, where, when, why, and how (5 wh); a calling in the form of a challenge, where facts show something. All these questions resulted in research, education, and service activities, with their respective data frameworks producing results. This paper aims to reveal the meaning of the outcomes through an observation from an outside perspective. Therefore, like COVID-19 and its vaccines, the assertion of convexity and concave contradictions in the treatment of data leads to a mutually conjugate treatment of data. In this regard, statistics and artificial intelligence play separate and complementary roles.

Authors: SUCU Ekin , AK SONAT Füsun
Published: September 2022

The major purpose of this study was to determine how varying doses of algae-derived pure β–glucan affected in vitro gas generation, volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations, methane production, and protozoa populations. Different doses of β–glucan [i.e., 0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg/kg feed (DM basis)] were applied to corn silage as experimental treatments. After 6–96 hours of incubation, the dose of 200 mg/kg of DM β–glucan reduced total gas production compared to control (P<0.01). The concentration of total VFA decreased quadratically (P<0.01) as the amount of β–glucan inclusion decreased (except for 200 mg/kg DM) when compared to the control group. The total VFA concentration was found to be the lowest (P<0.01) at 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg DM β–glucan than the other doses. Propionate and butyrate concentrations increased linearly (P<0.01) in the β–glucan supplemented groups, except for the 50 mg/kg DM dosage. When compared to the control group, all doses of β–glucans lowered acetate and the acetate: propionate ratio linearly and quadratically (P<0.01). The addition of β–glucans reduced the number of protozoa linearly (except at the lowest dose) and reduced the methane generation linearly and quadratically (P<0.01). The concentration of NH3-N did not differ (Linear, P=0.12; Quadratic, P=0.19) between treatments. The key findings were that β–glucan acted as a rumen modulator, and levels of more than 50 mg/kg of feed DM functioned as a potential methane regulator in the rumen due to reduced acetate and acetate to propionate ratio.

Processing and analysis of field survey data, both spatial data and attribute data, was carried out using the Geographic Information System software application, namely ArcGIS 10.8. The results of the primary data survey on public and social facilities and analysis of spatial data show that the public and social facilities in Raku Village are divided into educational facilities, religious facilities, health facilities, government offices, and other social facilities.
The reliefs of Naqš-e Rostam and a reflection on a forgotten relief, Iran
Authors: KHANIPOOR Morteza , KAVOSH Hosseinali , NASERI Reza
Published: September 2022

As one of the most important archaeological sites in Iran and also because of its holiness, Naqš-e Rostam was always being paid attention through historic periods. The earliest remain of the site goes back to Elamite period while many more reliefs were then added in the Achaemenian and Sasanian periods. Except for the Elamite relief which later vanished as Bahram II relief was made over it in the Sasanian period, other reliefs of Naqš-e Rostam date to Sasanian period. However, it seems that there is one more relief which must be dated to Elamite time. This includes a standing human who has raised his hand in front of his face while represented in profile facing right. The relief was firstly introduced by Roaf who attributed it to Narseh, the Sasanian king. This paper firstly describes the relief and secondly suggests an alternative Elamite date as the result of comparative investigations.
The bullae of the spahbedan. Some iconographic remarks
Authors: SKUPNIEWICZ Patryk
Published: September 2022

The seals of Sasanian highest military officials, the spahbedan which contain depiction of armoured rider create consistent iconographic group. It is possible however to distinguish five sub-groups within it, which in turn might serve as supplementary argument for their chronology or might suggest differentiation of the role of the office in time. The iconography of the spahbedan is related to 3-5th century, Roman models of imperial adventus which seems adequate for high ranking officers who needed iconographic layout emphasizing power however not entering royal prerogative. Iconography of the sovereigns of the neighboring power suited that goal well. Stylization of the arms and armour depicted on the spahbedan seals and small size of the objects do not allow firm identification of the types however it is clear that the more realistic tendency in depicting armament, typical for Late Sasanian period and contrasting with stylized and symbolic functions of earlier official art, prevailed

Agency Conflicts, Dividend Payments, and Ownership Concentration in Comparison of Shariah and Non-Shariah Compliant Listed Companies
Authors: Ahmad Dayang Ernie Nurfarah’ain Awang , Banchit Azilawati , Johari Aiza
Published: September 2022

Objective - The study analyzes the agency cost, dividend payments, and ownership concentration compared to Shariah and non-Shariah listed companies. Furthermore, this paper also seeks to examine the efficiency of managers in generating and utilising revenues to pay for operating expenses by comparing shariah and non-shariah compliant companies in determining any occurrences of agency conflicts.
Methodology/Technique – The sampling data were extracted from the Thomson Refinitiv Eikon Database for 5 years, from 2016 until 2020, for 567 Malaysian listed companies with a total of 2835 observations. The research implemented a One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to analyse the data.
Findings – ANOVA tests have shown that both Shariah and non-Shariah compliant companies pay dividends to their shareholders on average between 29 percent to 35 percent on returns. Interestingly, the decisions to pay the shareholders show that the shariah-compliant companies are more likely to pay out dividends than their non-shariah counterparts. Revenue generation is also found to be higher by 62 percent. Shariah-compliant companies demonstrate statistically significant higher dividends with better asset usage or lower agency conflicts in Malaysia.
Novelty - This paper is novel as it provides a thorough baseline analysis of the significant difference in agency conflicts, using both proxies, which are the dividend payments and the efficiency ratios, taking into consideration all the industries of the Shariah and non-Shariah listed companies in Malaysia.

Factors hindering the integration of Russian companies into digital platforms
Authors: Neganov S. A. , Neganova V. P.
Published: September 2022

Aim. The presented study aims to identify the main factors (and the degree of their influence) hindering the integration of companies into digital and non-digital platforms that are actively developing in the Russian economy and opening up new horizons of development, removing traditional organizational barriers and boundaries.

Tasks. The authors conduct a pilot qualitative study of twenty companies and twenty platform holders of different levels to identify, systemize, and rank factors affecting the decision of companies to integrate into a specific platform.

Methods. This study uses the methods of in-depth semi-structured interviews, content analysis, systematization, and Spearman’s rank correlation to investigate the relationship between the responses of company executives and platform holders.

Results. It is shown that nine main factors mentioned by both groups of respondents prevent companies from mutually beneficial cooperation with platforms. However, the ranking of determinants produces ambiguous results.

Conclusions. Research makes an ascertainable contribution to science. In particular, it complements existing scientific literature and business practices in several areas. Conceptually new information is obtained about what prevents companies from cooperating with platforms from the perspective of platform holders and company managers. The quantitative ranking of barriers for both groups is presented, making it possible to identify existing and potential problems that platform holders may face, evaluate them, and effectively manage the processes of overcoming barriers with allowance for their rating. Scientific results form a foundation for future research, since the information obtained during the interviews can be used as a basis for indepth quantitative analysis that would make it possible to further generalize and use the results.

Authors: GÖKÇEOĞLU Ayris , ÇENESİZ Sena
Published: September 2022

Astaxanthin is an oxidized carotenoid component responsible for pigmentation, protecting essential polyunsaturated fatty acids from oxidation, immune response, communication, reproductive behavior, and improved reproduction in aquatic animals. In aquaculture, astaxanthin is a pigment used to give rainbow trout flesh its distinctive pinkish tint. Sialic acid is an alpha-keto acid monosaccharide with a nine-carbon backbone that is an acylated derivative of neuraminic acid and a terminal component of the oligosaccharide chains of many glycoproteins and glycolipids. It impacts cell recognition, communication, signaling, cellular aggregation and development, infections, tumor growth and metastasis, immunology, reproductive biology, and neurology. Forty female rainbow trout were used in the study. Fish were divided into two groups. The experimental group (n=20) received a daily dose of astaxanthin of 50 ppm/day for 225 days, whereas the control group (n=20) received a standard fish meal. The concentration of sialic acid in fish muscle tissue was evaluated using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. The sialic acid level in muscle tissue of fish fed a standard fish ration was 111.97 ± 4.56 µg/g, while the sialic acid level in muscle tissue of fish fed astaxanthin was 110.33 ± 8.54 µg/g. In our research, we found that adding astaxanthin to the fish diet had no effect on the amount of sialic acid in the fish, which is crucial in human nutrition. As a result, it was revealed that dietary astaxanthin did not influence the level of sialic acid in fish muscle tissue (p>0.05).

Sentence-final Particle 'Le(了)' from epistemological point of view

From a grammatical perspective, the Sentence-final Particle '了' originated from the verb 'liao(了)', which has Temporality. However, It has been grammaticalized since the mid-late period of the Southern Song Dynasty. In addition, through the absorption of the function of 'ye(也)', it develops into a mirativity marker that is involved in the recognition of the speaker and the listener. This function has been passed down to modern Chinese, and the Sentence-Final Particle 'liao' still functions as an mirativity marker, and its meaning is distinguished as (1) new information to the speaker and the listener, and (2) contrary things to the speaker and listener's expectations. This mirativity of 'liao' is implemented in two ways as follows. First, it is compatible with the negative. Previously, the Sentence-Final Particle 'liao' was considered a particle in the tense-aspect category, so an explanation of the phenomenon of a negative and '了' co-occurring within a sentence was required. However, 'liao' in the epistemological category can be the subject of recognition, whether the proposition is positive or negative, so no problem occurs unless there is a problem in the context of discourse. Second, it is not constrained by a tense-aspect. ‘The 'mirality' of 'liao' allows for events that correspond to the ’past perfective aspect’ and the ‘future perfective aspect’, as well as events that correspond to the ’stative setense’ and even the progressive event corresponding to the ‘imperfective aspect’.

Insect tea, a traditional drink for the ethnic minority in southwest China, is a native product of China, and it has a long history. Insect tea is made of the feces of insects that feed on plants and is suggested to has a variety of health protection benefits.In the scientific point of view, insect tea is not tea because it originates from insect feces; however, it is called tea because the way to drink it and the color of the drink are analogous to tea. A tiny amount of insect tea particles in boiled water can make a cup of yellow-red tea without any residues, and its flavor is even better than that of other teas. Thus, it is also called a boutique tea. However, insect tea has not gained sufficient attention, and little basic research and few clinical data are available. At present, due to the household production of insect tea, Insect tea can be produced by a variety of insects and hosting plants，which could cause large difference in composition.Therefore, the in-depth study on the standardized and normalization is necessary and urgent. For a long time, produced through field collection,the low productivity have limited the amount of insect tea for research ，the determination of nutritional components, health care function and biological safety evaluation of main insect tea varieties, the functional development of insect tea, the research and development of insect tea production technology, and the demonstration and application promotion still need further research. Therefore, this paper summarizes the previous research results of insect tea, in order to enhance people's awareness and recognition of insect tea, and play an important theoretical support role for the future development and utilization of insect tea industry.
ABNORMAL VAGINAL DISCHARGE IN REPRODUCTIVE AGE GROUP WOMEN WITH SPECIAL IMPLICATION TO ANTIFUNGAL SUSCEPTIBILITY OF CANDIDA SPECIES
Authors: Anuradha C. , Rama Ch. , Sreevani P.
Published: September 2022

Introduction And Background: Vaginal discharge is a common complaint in reproductive age group women2. Vaginal
discharge is one of the common reasons in women of reproductive age group seeking gynecological consultation. It is
the second most common clinical problem after menstrual disorders. Globally, it is estimated that one in ten women will
present with vaginal discharge in the course of one year and approximately, ten million office visits each year are
attributed to vaginal discharge complaints. The prevalence of vaginal discharge in India is estimated to be 30%3.
Ÿ Abnormal vaginal discharge predisposes to significant morbidity to the women in the form of pelvic inflammatory
disease, infertility, endometriosis, cuff cellulitis, urethral syndrome, pregnancy loss, and preterm labour.5
Ÿ Certain conditions such as prolonged use of combined oral contraceptive, pregnancy, malnutrition, diabetes,
neutropenia, prolonged antibiotic therapy, candida become pathogenic and causes candidiasis.8
Ÿ Isolation, identification, characterization, and susceptibility of candida species became critical management of
fungal infections.9
Need For The Study: The study was done to emphasize the role of laboratory investigations in patients with vaginitis, as
presumptive clinical diagnosis alone can lead to false interpretation and treatment mismanagement. TheMethods:
present study is a cross sectional observational study conducted from January 2019 to February 2020 for about a period
of one year among 300 women aged 15-49 years with vaginal discharge attending gynecology OPD, Government
Maternity Hospital, Tirupati. This study included 300 subjects with a mean age of 30.4 ± 7.26 years. Nearly halfResults:
of (49.33%) our study population was aged between 25 to 34years, a majority (47%) of women had bacterial vaginosis,
followed by Candida in 39.33%, trichomonas vaginalis in 14.33%, mixed infections in 6.67% and 6% with no organisms.
Among Candida species, 48.31% of participants had candida albicans, 23.73% had candida tropicalis, 19.49% had
candida krusei, and 8.47% had candida glabrata, and of them 38.33% participants had voriconazole sensitivity, 32.33%
participants had ketoconazole sensitivity, 26% participants had clotrimazole sensitivity, and 21.33% participants had
fluconazole sensitivity. Among 118 candida infected 106 (89.83%) participants came for follow-up, of which symptoms
subsided in 90 (84.91%) participants. In conclusion, our study with 300 women patients complaining ofConclusion:
vaginal discharge found a majority of them belonging to the sexually active age group. Vaginal discharge was more
prevalent in lower economic status and rural areas. Bacterial vaginosis was the most common and frequent etiology,
followed by Candida. TV was the least common etiology for vaginal discharge.

In this work, using investigation of odd order OAM modes in the two-dimensional MMI waveguides, a novel integrated optical OAM device is introduced to do mode conversion between beams carrying OAM with opposite topological charges. The proposed convertor is passive and the input and output ports can be swapped. The ability to produce high purity output mode (94% and 82% for OAM modes with l=±1 and l=±3, respectively), reciprocal behavior and compatibility with silicon on insulator technology are the remarkable features that make the proposed passive convertor utilizable in many classical and quantum communication systems.
