Authors: Saleena Lejaniya Abdul Kalam , Tan Kelly Yie Lin , Chang Lee Sin , Pui Liew Phing
Published: March 2024

The fruit Mangifera laurina Blume lacks sufficient research attention, with no literature available on its physicochemical properties, proximate nutritional composition, carotenoid content, or enzyme liquefaction process. Therefore, we aimed to optimize the parameters for enzymatic liquefaction of M. laurina puree and comprehensively analyze its characteristics.

Homogenized pulp of M. laurina was treated with different enzymes (Pectinex Ultra SPL, Celluclast, Fungamyl, and Termamyl). Pectinex Ultra SPL was selected as the most effective enzyme as it significantly decreased viscosity and increased juice yield. Pectinex Ultra SPL was then used to treat the homogenized pulp at different concentrations (0–4.0%), different incubation times (0–2.5 h), and different incubation temperatures (25–60°C). We considered these parameters as independent variables and studied their effects on viscosity, juice yield, total soluble solids, pH, and color to establish optimum conditions for the enzymatic liquefaction of M. laurina pulp.

The recommended enzymatic liquefaction conditions were set as 2.0% Pectinex Ultra SPL at 45°C for 2.0 h. The optimized enzyme-liquefied mango puree showed a noteworthy decrease in total carotenoids (174.15 ± 0.04 µg/100 g), crude protein, crude fat, and crude fiber, compared to fresh mango puree. However, enzymatic liquefaction provided the mango puree with higher contents of moisture and ash, better water activity, and higher juice yield, compared to fresh mango puree.

Enzymatic liquefaction of fruit juice provides advantages in terms of improved digestion, increased yield, and enhanced economic profit. Its ability to enhance nutrient availability, increase extraction rates, and optimize production processes makes it a valuable technique in various food industries.

Growing organic microgreens indoors requires a unified technological procedure with various external elicitors. The quality of seedlings depends on their ability to accumulate essential microelements. This research assessed the nutrient profile of mustard microgreens using the method of fractal calculation with repeating numerical series.

The experiment involved mustard (Brássica júncea L.) of the Nika variety grown in a closed box for 15 days under aggregation with an intensive 16-h photocycle (440 µmoL m2/s). The plants were inoculated with the endomycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae. A solution of fulvic acids (100 mg/L) served as a stabilizing organic additive and was introduced into the coconut substrate. The physical treatment included weak static electromagnetic field with magnetic induction (20 mT). The elemental analysis was performed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry on an ICPE-9000 device (Shimadzu, Japan).

According to the calculated indices of the microelement biocomposition, the best result belonged to the sample treated with fulvic acids and weak electromagnetic field (IndBcomL = 0.27). The resulting biomass of dry powder for elemental analysis was 10.2 g, which was twice as high as the values obtained in the control sample, not subjected to any external influences (5.2 g). All the variants with mycorrhization produced no positive effect on the total pool of microelements during vegetation.

The increase in biomass averaged as low as 20%. Zinc increased by 33.3% while aluminum and iron decreased by 59.5 and 18.0%, respectively.

The neural network analysis of the microelements in mustard microgreens proved effective as a mathematical model for biochemical diagnostics of biomass quality. The method could be used to optimize the biotechnological process for other indoor crops as it makes it possible to partially substitute mineral fertilizers with organic and bacterial complex.

Published: March 2024

Cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus L.) and arctic raspberry (Rubus arcticus L.) are highly nutritional and medicinal but lowyield berries, with some populations being on the verge of extinction. Micropropagation biotechnologies are cost-effective and may provide healthy and plentiful planting material for these valuable berries. Clonal micropropagation of cloudberry and arctic raspberry requires new methods adapted for Russian varieties. This research featured the effect of sterilizing agents on the survival rate of explants of R. chamaemorus and R. arcticus, as well as the effect of growth regulators in the nutrient medium on their organogenesis in vitro.

Berries obtained from regenerant plants of R. chamaemorus (Arkhangelsk and Vologda varieties) and R. arcticus (Sofia and Galina varieties) underwent a biochemical analysis. Further research involved the effect of sterilizing agents and exposure time on the viability of explants, as well as the effect of the nutrient medium composition and the concentration of growth regulators on the development of microshoots and roots in vitro.

In case of lateral buds, the highest survival rate of both types of explants (80–96%) belonged to the samples sterilized with 0.2% silver nitrate and 5% Lysoformin 3000 for 15 min. In case of etiolated shoots (79–100%), it was the samples treated with 0.2% silver nitrate, 0.01% Nika 2, and 5% Lysoformin 3000 for 10 min. The maximal total length of microshoots in R. chamaemorus (19.4–22.7 cm) was registered at 0.1 mg/L Cytodef in the Murashige and Skoog medium. The maximal total length of roots (46.0–56.6 cm) was obtained when the medium contained 0.5 mL/L indolylacetic acid. As for R. arcticus, the maximal total lengths of microshoots (22.4–22.8 cm) and roots (86.6–89.3 cm) occurred at the same concentrations of growth regulators on 1/2 Murashige and Skoog medium.

In this research, Cytodef and indolylacetic acid applied in the process of clonal micropropagation of R. chamaemorus and R. arcticus made it possible to increase the yield of high-quality planting material for commercial plantations.

Published: March 2024

Whipped yeast-free bakery products require effective energy supply to dough in order to optimize energy consumption, baking time, and quality. This article introduces a verified mathematical model of microwave and convective baking for whipped bread based on heat and mass exchange equations.

A full-scale experiment to verify the calculations involved dough samples with a humidity of 56 ± 1%. The samples underwent microwave and convective processing until the temperature in the crumb center reached 98 ± 1°C.

The mathematical model was formalized as energy and mass conservation equations, which made it possible to consider baking as a non-stationary process of heat and mass transfer of moisture in an isotropic incompressible continuous medium in the diffusion approximation. The equation took into account the unstable phase transition boundary. The practical verification showed the mean error for microwave baking as 14.5% in temperature and 18.2% in moisture content. For convective baking, the results included 12.6% in temperature and 9.7% in moisture content. The mathematical model proved adequate to the real processes of heat and mass transfer. The error in calculating the temperature and moisture content fields was sufficient tooptimize the process.

The physical and mathematical model of the baking process made it possible to evaluate the effect of technological variables on the temperature and moisture concentration fields in the dough samples. The mathematical model and the computational experiment can be used to identify static and dynamic characteristics of baking as an object of automatic control, i.e., to identify optimal control channels and actions, as well as to adjust the automatic control system to specific quality indicators.

Published: March 2024

Access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services is crucial for a healthy start in life. Social accountability has a potential for enhancing WASH services in childcare centres. However, there are inadequate studies to understand how informal social accountability mechanisms contributes to WASH service provision. To address this gap, we conducted a cross-sectional survey in Korogocho and Viwandani informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya, to explore the relationship between different levels of WASH services (ranging from basic to limited or nonexistent) and indicators of informal social accountability, including rewards, sanctions, voice, and responsiveness. We employed multinomial regression analysis, utilizing a robust error variance estimator to account for potential biases. Our findings revealed disparities in WASH service provision between the two studied areas, with childcare centres in Korogocho exhibiting higher access to basic WASH services compared to those in Viwandani. Our analysis also highlighted a significant association between informal social accountability mechanisms and the provision of WASH services. Notably, the sanction mechanism exhibited a correlation with all WASH services, suggesting its pivotal role in shaping service delivery outcomes. In light of these findings, it is imperative to prioritize efforts aimed at reinforcing social accountability mechanisms in WASH service delivery frameworks.

Published: March 2024

ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) concept is a code of rules and approaches dealing with doing business that fosters its sustainable development. Today it covers a lot of countries of the world, including Russia. The article studies acute problems of introducing ESG-standards on sustainable development in Russia and overseas countries. At present there are more than 70 standards, however a unique ESG-standard has not been developed yet. Due to the fact countries use existing standards or develop their own ones. The authors show that the development of standards can have different stages: some countries only consider the idea of standards, while others have already been developing them. Russia could reorient to Asian markets, where ESG concept is no less important than in Europe. Agenda of sustainable development is being transformed and the idea of ESG concept is moving from ecological sustainability to social tendency in line with economic adaptation to the current conditions. In Russia the home ESG-trend starts developing, which orientates to home market: own rating agencies, national ESG-scoring, ESG-register, etc. In the future ESG-partnership can be extended to EAEU countries, BRICS and some countries of the Pacific region.

Authors: Tikhomirov N. P. , Tikhomirova T. M.
Published: March 2024

The article analyzes different approaches to estimating risk of declining efficiency of investment projects that are recommended to practical use by academic literature. The author pointed to their subjectivity and high uncertainty of results. As an alternative we can consider approaches and methods of estimating risk of declining efficiency of the investment project as a difference between the expected by the project and risky values of its NPV defined by the law of this figure distribution. In this case the risky NPV assessment depending on the ratio to risk is either its average value in the field of existence limited from above by expected in the project value or any quantile located in the field of possible NPV values. The article presents substantiation of the standard law of NPV distribution as a complicated random value formed by a sum of random variables, i.e. features of finances flows by the project and discount. The author also analyses the approach to estimating dispersion of the NPV distribution law and risky values depending on its amount based on this figure expansion into the Tailor series with initial data showing average values and dispersion of its finance flows and discount.

Published: March 2024

Introduction. These disease entities are known as pediatric neuropsychiatric syndromes because infectious pathogens other than streptococci have also been reported to be associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms. Pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infection (PANDAS) and pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS).

Aim. The aim of this study was to evaluate neuropsychiatric disorders associated with immunologic dysfunction in childhood.

Overview. PANS/PANDAS refers to the acute and dramatic onset of a neuropsychiatric syndrome in children, including OCD and/or tics. It is believed to be the result of an autoimmune reaction to the basal ganglia nuclei, initiated by infection with group A streptococci. Studies indicate neuroinflammatory reactions in the basal ganglia and related networks.

Conclusions. Evaluating treatment strategies for PANS/PANDAS remains a challenge because it is a rare disease with few published high-quality studies. Little is known about its etiology, diagnostic methods, treatments or long-term effects. However, as hundreds of children and families suffer from the debilitating effects of the disease, infectious diseases should be carefully evaluated for PANS/PANDAS, especially in the pediatric age group. Even in the absence of evidence on which to base interventions, it is within the scope of advanced nursing practice to provide psychotherapeutic care with an empathetic perspective to children and families struggling with the frustration, fear and anxiety caused by illness.

Thesis-writing students experience heightened academic stress due to the simultaneous demands of college assignments and thesis completion, leading to a significant sense of burden. A personality trait known as conscientiousness is characterized by adherence to obedient, organized,careful, determined, and disciplined behavior. This study examines the correlation between conscientiousness and academic stress among thesis-writing students in the Faculty of Economics and Business at a university in Indonesia. This study employs a quantitative correlational approach. The data collection techniques involve employing a simple random sampling method to gather information from a sample of 200 students from the Faculty of Economics and Business who are presently engaged in writing their theses. The study utilized the academic stress scale (Academic Stress Inventory) (α cronbach = 0.90) and the conscientiousness personality scale (Big Five Inventory) (α cronbach = 0.78) as measuring tools. SPSS tools are utilized in technical correlation analysis. The analysis reveals a significant negative correlation (r = -0.365, p 0.01) between conscientiousness personality and academic stress among students at the Faculty of Economics and Business, currently engaged in thesis writing at the university. The relationship between conscientiousness and personality and academic stress reduction in students is positively correlated. This study recommends to provide psychoeducation programs for writing a thesis and seminars for students to develop the conscientiousness personality before preparing a thesis.

Poucos questionariam o cenário desafiador da educação superior internacional, pesquisa e inovação (international higher education, research and innovation, IHERI) ou a crescente complexidade e interconectividade das relações entre os países. Contudo, paradoxalmente, há uma ausência de pesquisas sobre a intercessão destes dois fenômenos em evolução. Este artigo pretende abordar este tema, propondo o conceito de diplomacia do conhecimento ao invés do de soft power para entender o papel da IHERI na construção de relações baseadas em colaboração, reciprocidade e mutualidade de benefícios. Uma definição e um quadro conceitual da diplomacia do conhecimento são propostos e detalhados. Três iniciativas de IHERI– a Pan African University, a German Jordanian University e RENKEI – uma rede de pesquisa entre universidades japonesas e do Reino Unido – são examinadas para ilustrar como elementos e princípios fundamentais do quadro da diplomacia do conhecimento podem ser aplicados. O artigo finaliza questionando o futuro da diplomacia do conhecimento e a necessidade de outras pesquisas.

Authors: Galyamov A. , Volkov A. , Lobanov K.
Published: March 2024

For the first time, the results of modern studies of the earth's crust based on gravity data from the GOCE satellite Project are used for a comparative regional metallogenic analysis of the geodynamic settings of the formation of polymetallic deposits in Western Europe and the Mediterranean segment of the Tethys belt. It is shown that exhalative sulfide deposits (SEDEX) and cuprous sandstones and shales (SSC) are mainly located in the earth's crust with a predominant development of the lower “basalt” layer of the earth's crust. Pyrite copper and lead-zinc deposits in volcanogenic rocks (VMS), as well as some occurrences of the SEDEX type, are found in supra-subduction island-arc and accretionary crustal settings with a predominant development of the middle “granite” layer. Lead-zinc ores of the Mississippi type (MVT) are localized in deep pericratonic sedimentary basins with petroleum-bearing specialization on the shelf and continental slope, regardless of the stratification of the earth's crust. The results obtained can be used for regional forecasting and metallogenic constructions, prospecting and assessment of new deposits.

Comparative Analysis of Ensemble Learning Techniques and ANN for Prediction of Compressive Strength of Concrete Mix
Authors: Dedhia Avani
Published: March 2024

Abstract: In this study, non-linear machine learning regressors and an artificial neural network (ANN) were modeled to predict the compressive strength of concrete mixes. A dataset of 1030 mix design data points with a wide range of compressive strength varying from M10 to M80 is taken into account. The data set comprised of 8 input parameters namely- cement, water, fine & coarse aggregate, flyash, slag, superplasticizer, and age. The paper also analyzes effects on the prediction of compressive strength due to waiving of the parameters with lesser importance factors. To improve the performances of models by reducing the variance, biases, and errors, K-fold cross-validation was examined. To examine the performances of the models, metrics such as coefficient of determination (R2) and mean square error (MSE) were employed. Most of the models can predict the compressive strength with good accuracy. Out of the 7-machine learning regressors and ANN models employed, Gradient Boosting Regressor yielded the best prediction accuracy of 0.9561 with the lowest MSE value of 0.0513.

This study is aimed to identify the figurative language and to analyze the meaning found on Ed Sheeran’s Song Lyrics. The data sources were four Ed Sheeran’s songs namely Photograph, Thinking Out Loud, Afire Love, and Dive taken from YouTube for the audios and a website called genius.com for the lyrics. The data were collected through documentation method and note-taking technique. Descriptive-qualitative method was applied to analyze the data using theory of figurative language by Knickerbocker and Reninger and theory of meaning by Leech. The result of the study shows that there are 6 kinds of figurative language found, namely simile, metaphor, personification, synecdoche, hyperbole, and irony. The lyrics containing figurative expression show implied meanings that can be classified into connotative and affective. The meanings found are about love, sadness, and awareness of each other.

Penelitian ini membahas reduplikasi nomina dan verba dalam masyarakat Pakkado’ di Sulawesi Barat. Secara spesifik, fokus pada data-data reduplikatif. Tujuannya untuk mendokumentasikan data morfologis melalui reduplikasi. Reduplikasi dalam masyarakat ini menarik, karena memperlihatkan perubahan makna kata benda dan kerja yang mengalami proses reduplikasi. Secara spesifik, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bentuk-bentuk reduplikasi baik total maupun parsial. Pakkado’ ialah kategori lingual yang mengindeks satu masyarkat yang menyebut pronomina saya dengan istilah kado’. Secara etimologis berarti ‘orang yang berbicara saya’. Data penelitian menemukan bahwa reduplikasi kata, baik total maupun parsial berimplikasi pada munculnya makna tambahan yang sedikit berbeda dengan makna kata dasar. Akhirnya, dalam masyarkat pakkado’, melakukan reduplikasi artinya menambahkan makna spesifik pada pada kata—satu proses kreativitas dalam berbahasa—dan inilah aspek puitis dari morfologi.

This study investigated how modal verbs are used by 4 level of students taking IELTS preparation course in expressing permission, offer, obligation, and possibility. The objectives of the study were to analyze two major issues; 1. is there any significant different between male and female students in using modal verbs properly? and 2. is there any significant different in using modal verbs in regards to the level of the students? As the objectives of the research, 50 male and female students were chosen as a sample who later did a test comprising 40 statements of modal verbs as permission, offer, possibility, and obligation. As a result, the difference attitude between males and females in using modal verbs is significant. In addition, the result of this study revealed that the highest proportion of correct answers made was by advanced, upper intermediate, intermediate, pre-intermediate, and elementary, respectively.

This study focuses on illocutionary act found in Little Women Movie Script." In this research, the data is taken from the Little Women movie script. Two main theories are used for this study. The first theory is pragmatic theory from George Yule (1996). The second theory is the function of the illocutionary act theory as explained by Leech (1983) in the book entitled "Principles of Pragmatics". The methods of this research are divided into four steps, they are finding or deciding the data source, collecting the data, analysing the data, and presenting the data. The data is collected by reading the movie script several times and underlining or marking the illocutionary acts that are found in the movie script. After that, the data is classified based on the various types and functions of illocutionary acts. Furthermore, the data is also analysed using Yule’s points of view in pragmatic. In presenting the data, descriptive research is used in this research. Based on the analysis, the types of illocutionary acts that are found in the Little Women movie script are declaration, representative, expressive, directive, and commissive. Meanwhile, the functions of the illocutionary act that are found in the movie script are competitive, convivial, collaborative, and conflictive.

Published: March 2024

This research was to find out the types of translation techniques and the most dominant type of translation technique by the translator in some food and beverage packagings. The theory of translation techniques by Molina (1998) was used as a basic theory. This research used qualitative and quantitative method to explain the results of the analysis of the types of translation techniques and to calculate what type of translation technique is dominant to be used. The data source which was used in this research was food and beverage packaging. The data were collected by finding the food and beverage products in the various super markets. The information, sentences, phrases or words in the packaging were collected by taking a picture. The English texts were compared with the Indonesian ones and classified based on their types of translation techniques. The data were analyzed descriptively using the theory of translation techniques. After data were analyzed, they were calculated to find what type of translation technique was dominant to be used in food and beverage packaging. The result of this research showed that translation techniques used in translating the words, expressions, sentences and information that contained in food and beverage packaging were literal, borrowing, amplification, description, reduction, and calque. The most dominant type of translation technique applied is borrowing technique with 37 data (37%) found.
Enriched string-net models and their excitations

Published: March 2024

Boundaries of Walker-Wang models have been used to construct commuting projector models which realize chiral unitary modular tensor categories (UMTCs) as boundary excitations. Given a UMTC A representing the Witt class of an anomaly, the article \cite{MR4640433} gave a commuting projector model associated to an A-enriched unitary fusion category X on a 2D boundary of the 3D Walker-Wang model associated to A. That article claimed that the boundary excitations were given by the enriched center/Müger centralizer ZA(X) of A in Z(X).In this article, we give a rigorous treatment of this 2D boundary model, and we verify this assertion using topological quantum field theory (TQFT) techniques, including skein modules and a certain semisimple algebra whose representation category describes boundary excitations. We also use TQFT techniques to show the 3D bulk point excitations of the Walker-Wang bulk are given by the Müger center Z2(A), and we construct bulk-to-boundary hopping operators Z2(A)→ZA(X) reflecting how the UMTC of boundary excitations ZA(X) is symmetric-braided enriched in Z2(A).This article also includes a self-contained comprehensive review of the Levin-Wen string net model from a unitary tensor category viewpoint, as opposed to the skeletal 6j symbol viewpoint.
Heisenberg-limited metrology with perturbing interactions
Authors: Yin Chao , Lucas Andrew
Published: March 2024

We show that it is possible to perform Heisenberg-limited metrology on GHZ-like states, in the presence of generic spatially local, possibly strong interactions during the measurement process. An explicit protocol, which relies on single-qubit measurements and feedback based on polynomial-time classical computation, achieves the Heisenberg limit. In one dimension, matrix product state methods can be used to perform this classical calculation, while in higher dimensions the cluster expansion underlies the efficient calculations. The latter approach is based on an efficient classical sampling algorithm for short-time quantum dynamics, which may be of independent interest.

Published: March 2024

The utterances that occur in every dialogue in the novel often have various purposes or intentions that are certainly not the same as the real one. Likewise, conversations in novels cannot be separated from the power of imagination built by the author which makes the reader have to analyze the hidden meanings in each story. Thus, it can be said that the speech in every dialogue of the novel has an implied purpose. This research is an implicature study through the use of pragmatic studies which aims to describe the types of implicatures in the novel "Dear Nathan" by Erisca Febriani. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. The subject of this research is the novel "Dear Nathan" by Erisca Febriani. Data is collected by analyzing, reviewing, and recording documents (content analysis), then processing the data objectively regarding the meaning and types of implicatures. The results obtained from this study include the types of implicatures in the novel "Dear Nathan" by Erisca Febriani, namely directive, representative, commissive, expressive, and declaration speech acts.
