Authors: Dobrotvorskaya N. I. , Studenkova N. A. , Nikkar K. A. , Albert M. A.
Published: January 2024

The article examines the heterogeneity of the soil cover of production fields and working areas as one of the most important indicators of productivity and technological properties of land. It is noted that traditional indicators of the quality of land plots do not meet modern requirements for assessing the level of soil fertility and technological properties of the land plot, among which the diversity of the soil cover of the land plot is of great importance. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the applicability of morphometric indicators of soil cover structure, in particular, the soil cover contrast coefficient, to improve the qualitative assessment system, including when conducting an inventory of agricultural land. The study used methods of comparative geographical analysis of the structure of soil cover in key areas - land uses within the Priobsky plateau in the southern part of Western Siberia. We used stock, statistical, and cartographic materials of the IV round of soil survey of lands on the territory of the Kremlevskoye agricultural holding in the Novosibirsk region at a scale of 1:25000, digitized in the MapInfo Professional environment. To calculate the morphometric characteristics of the soil cover and, in particular, the contrast coefficient, the statistical-cartometric method was used. The dependence of the yield of grain crops on a specific land plot on the degree of contrast of soil cover for different agro-ecological groups of lands is shown.

In conclusion, the article proposes to expand the list of characteristics used to assess the quality of agricultural lands when conducting their inventory in the system of land management measures.

Published: January 2024

The demand for crop products is relatively constant in the short term, and in the long term, it increases relatively evenly. Consequently, the supply of products must be steadily steady or steadily increasing. Changes in hydrothermal conditions for cultivating crops lead to fluctuations in yield. The study was carried out based on statistical data from 2012 – 2021. The article examines the main trends in the development of pea (Pisum sativum L.) production in the steppe and forest-steppe zones of the Kemerovo region. The sown areas of peas and the crop yield are determined, and the characteristics of the gross grain harvest in the study zones are given. The trend line analysis showed an annual increase in the sown area; its value increased significantly from 2017 to 2021 in both the steppe and forest steppe. During the same period, a tendency was established towards a significant increase in pea yields due to improved farming standards. According to our data, the trend in the yield series is not the same. The coefficients of variation in the steppe zone are 38.51% and, in the forest-steppe zone - 34.73%, indicating a higher agrotechnical level in the forest-steppe zone than in the steppe zone. High coefficients in the studied areas are observed due to solid deviations in yield in individual years. In the steppe zone, the yield ranged from 6.9 to 23.9; in the forest-steppe, it went from 7.3 c/ha to 21.7. It was revealed that the size of the pea harvest strongly depends on weather conditions. The most productive years are 2020 and 2021. The trend equations for the steppe and forest-steppe describe the tendency towards an increase in the gross grain harvest. The conclusion is formulated that to solve the main problems in pea production, which depend on the farming culture and fluctuations in cultivation conditions, it is necessary to look for ways to increase the sustainability of the production of this crop.

The possibility and the prospects of using various water-soluble fertilisers for growing healthy planting material of potato variety Dochka under aeroponics conditions have been studied. Two variants of water-soluble fertilisers were used as objects of study: 1) Nutriflex-T complex fertiliser at a concentration of 2 g/l with the addition of calcium nitrate 4-aqueous at a concentration of 0.35 g/l; 2) author's water-soluble fertiliser Martirosyan Yu.Ts. At a concentration of 1 g/l. In the experiments, healthy potato microplants of the Dochka variety were used. The experiments were carried out on aeroponic systems "Urozhay-9000". Sodium sodium-vapour lamps DNAT 400 were used as a light source. After 30 days of cultivation on a water-soluble fertiliser, the height of potato plants and the length of the root system in the studied variants did not differ in the version using the author's environment, Martirosyan Yu.Ts. Compared with the variant with the use of the Nutriflex-T complex fertiliser, a statistically significant increase in the following indicators was observed: the average number of mini tubers obtained from one plant (17.38±0.29 pcs. pieces/bush compared to 14.44±0.35 pieces/bush), the average weight of one mini tuber (8.17±0.29 g compared to 5.47±0.26 g), the proportion of mini tubers weighing over 4 g (67.63% compared to 46.10%), biomass of the root system at the end of cultivation (33.31±0.45 g compared to 30.31±0.35 g). At the same time, the biomass of the vegetative part of potato plants at the end of cultivation on the Nutriflex-T fertiliser was higher than the biomass of the vegetative part of plants grown on the nutrient medium of Martirosyan Yu.Ts. (284.06±4.77 g compared to 151.25±2.45 g). It is shown that the cultivation of potato plants of the Dochka variety on the author's water-soluble fertiliser Martirosyan Yu.Ts. It is economically viable.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysms (EICAs) are rare. Although a high mortality risk has been reported in nonoperated cases, the optimal treatment for EICAs remains unknown.

OBSERVATIONS

A 79-year-old female presented with painless swelling in the right neck. Imaging revealed a giant EICA with a maximum diameter of 3.2 cm. Superficial temporal artery–middle cerebral artery bypass and internal carotid artery (ICA) trapping were performed. Because the distal aneurysm edge was at the C1 level, the distal portion of the aneurysm was occluded by endovascular coiling, and the proximal portion was surgically ligated. Blood flow into the aneurysm disappeared after the operation. Three years postsurgery, enlargement of the aneurysm with blood flow from the ascending pharyngeal artery (APA) was detected. The EICA was resected after coiling the APA and ligating both ends of the aneurysm. Pathologically, neovascularization within the aneurysm wall was observed.

LESSONS

Even if blood flow into an EICA disappears after ICA trapping, the EICAs can enlarge due to neovascularization from the neighboring artery. From the outset, removal of the aneurysm should be considered as a radical treatment strategy for giant EICAs.

Infodynamics, a Review
Authors: Jaffe Klaus
Published: January 2024

A review of studies on the interaction of information with the physical world found no fundamental contradiction between the eighth authors promoting Infodynamics. Each one emphasizes different aspects. The fact that energy requires information in order to produce work and that the acquisition of new information requires energy, triggers synergistic chain reactions producing increases of negentropy (increases in Useful Information or decreases in Information Entropy) in living systems. Infodynamics aims to study feasible balances between energy and information using empirical methods. Getting information requires energy and so does separating useful information from noise. Producing energy requires information, but there is no direct proportionality between the energy required to produce the information and the energy unleashed by this information. Energy and information are parts of two separate realms of reality that are intimately entangled but follow different laws of nature. Infodynamics recognizes multiple forms and dimensions of information. Information can be the opposite of thermodynamic entropy (Negentropy), a trigger of Free Energy (Useful or Potentially Useful), a reserve (Redundant Information), Structural, Enformation, Intropy, Entangled, Encrypted Information or Noise. These are overlapping functional properties focusing on different aspects of Information. Studies on information entropy normally quantify only one of these dimensions. The challenge of Infodynamics is to design empirical studies to overcome these limitations. The working of sexual reproduction and its evolution through natural selection and its role in powering the continuous increase in information and energy in living systems might teach us how.

Published: January 2024

In language classrooms, the use of space has the same potential as language in shaping the pedagogical process. This study analyzes different types of classroom space and how they are used by two teachers to make different meanings. The analysis was carried out by focusing on the positioning of the teachers during lesson stages, namely Openings, Sequencing, and Closings based on the semantic categories of classroom space developed by Lim et al. (2012). The results explicated the use of four different types of space, namely authoritative space, personal space, supervisory space, and interactional space to create learning experience and how they are redefined by the teachers for specific reasons. The findings of this study are expected to provide insight as to how classroom space as one of the semiotic resources is crucial to the pedagogical process and therefore offers a way for teachers to evaluate and transform how they approach their teaching.

The Future of Democracy: Exploring the Potential of Block chain-Based Digital Voting Systems
Authors: Mansoor Ahmed Jumani  , Du Yujie  , Muhammad Owais Khan
Published: January 2024

A key component of democratic governance in modern countries is the election process. But due to worries about things like polling booth capturing, data manipulation, and vote rigging, a general mistrust in the electoral process has evolved. Because they put election data under the authority of outside organizations, both the traditional and computerized voting systems now in use lack the required transparency. Voters have few options to verify that election administrators will carefully and accurately count their votes due to a lack of openness. To create an electronic voting (e-voting) system that upholds the ideals of fairness and security, it is imperative to take advantage of developing technology, particularly blockchain. When correctly applied, blockchain technology's public distributed ledger holds the potential to make tampering almost impossible. In this regard, our research suggests a decentralized electronic voting system that makes use of blockchain technology as a remedy to deal with the aforementioned issues. Through the elimination of the possibility of centralized election control, this approach seeks to reduce the dangers connected with conventional election procedures and increase voter confidence. The suggested method offers a tamper-proof, transparent, verifiable, economical, and reliable voting process through the distribution of control across several governing and non-governing bodies. This paper examines the development and implementation of such a blockchain-based electronic voting system, shedding insight on how it may enhance the openness and accessibility of democratic elections in contemporary societies.

AER-HYBRITECH: Averaging Ensemble Regression with Hybrid Encoding and Enhanced Feature Selection Technique for Predictive Maintenance
Authors: Prof. Veena R. Pawar  , Dr. Dev Ras Pandey
Published: January 2024

Predictive maintenance is critical to modern industrial operations, preventing unexpected equipment failures and minimizing downtime. Existing methods often encounter challenges related to data preprocessing, missing data imputation, and feature selection. This paper presents "AER-HYBRITECH," a novel approach that addresses these challenges and enhances the predictive maintenance process. Traditional methods overlook the intricate relationships within the data, resulting in suboptimal predictive performance. To bridge this gap, the proposed AER-HYBRITECH algorithm is introduced.
AER-HYBRITECH stands out in several ways. Firstly, it utilizes a hybrid encoding technique that converts categorical data into a more informative numerical representation by incorporating the average values of label-encoded data and its frequency, leading to improved feature utilization. Furthermore, it introduces the AER-MDI (Averaging Ensemble Regression-based Missing Data Imputation) technique, which combines M5P, REPTree, and linear regression models to impute missing data, ensuring a more complete dataset. The algorithm also implements Min-Max normalization to scale numeric features, making them compatible for further analysis. One of the key innovations of AER-HYBRITECH is its enhanced hybrid feature selection (EHFS) approach.
The AER-HYBRITECH algorithm transforms and preprocesses the data and ensures that predictive maintenance models are built on a solid foundation, resulting in more accurate predictions and reduced maintenance costs.

Diabetes patients need to have minimal information provided after the diagnosis is made through a nutritionist during nutritional counseling. This knowledge is influenced by levels of education, information, culture, experience, and socio-economic factors. If the knowledge of diabetes mellitus sufferers is good, then attitudes towards the diabetes mellitus diet should be able to support patient compliance with the diabetes mellitus diet. This research used a survey technique with a cross-sectional method which was conducted on 24 PROLANIS DM patients at the Kebayoran Baru Community Health Center, South Jakarta. The result was that 91.7% of respondents were elderly women (87.5%). The educational level of the participants mostly came from elementary-middle school (6.7%) and had been diagnosed with DM for 1-5 years. Even so, 83.3% of PROLANIS participants had insufficient nutritional knowledge related to DM. 58.3% have controlled Fasting Blood Sugar, and 95.8% have uncontrolled Fasting Blood Sugar. There was no relationship between gender, education level, duration of illness, and dietary compliance with fasting blood sugar (p-value> 0.05). 95.8% complied with taking metformin, there was 1 respondent with uncontrolled fasting blood sugar and non-compliance with taking medication. Compliance with taking anti-diabetic medication affects the patient's blood sugar levels, therefore compliance with taking anti-diabetic medication can be a patient's choice in controlling their blood sugar. In future research, it is hoped that the number of samples can be increased and varied so that the data is more representative, or measure HbA1C as a compliance factor. diet and lifestyle for Diabetes Mellitus sufferers.
