The study and analysis of the chemical composition and biochemical parameters of caviar raw materials of freshwater fish living in the lower reaches of the Volga confirm the fact that caviar raw materials have a relatively high energy and biological efficiency of functioning and the value of protein and lipid complexes. The biological value of protein complexes is due to the presence of the entire list of essential amino acids, the total proportion of which is higher compared to the ideal protein substance. Freshwater, like marine caviar, is an excellent source of lipids, including phospholipids, which contain a significant amount of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Therefore, in recent studies related to fish raw materials and related products, much attention is paid to them. This article provides an overview of the chemical composition and properties of caviar of four species of fish, the caviar component of which is in low demand in native and processed form in the domestic fish products market.

Cottage cheese and its products have high biological value due to the full-fledged protein included in it, represented by all essential amino acids. However, the fiber content of such articles is extremely low. In accordance with TR TS 022/2011, the quantitative value of dietary fiber is included in the calculation of the nutritional and energy value of products. Dietary fibers positively affect the work of the gastrointestinal tract, normalize cholesterol metabolism, participate in the elimination of heavy metal salts from the body, therefore, pectin is used in the diets of therapeutic and preventive nutrition. The article is devoted to the development of a curd semifinished product with a high content of dietary fiber. The food fibre source is represented by the use of natural apple pectin introduced in various dosages into curd cheesecakes instead of prime grade wheat flour. Organoleptic quality parameters were carried out and the best experimental sample was selected, which was subsequently frozen under shock freezing conditions and after storage in a refrigeration chamber, was examined for compliance with organoleptic, physicochemical and microbiological safety parameters. Analytical calculations were carried out on the content of dietary fiber and integral scrap in the developed curd semi-finished product. A 6-fold increase in dietary fiber content compared to the control has been proven. The iron content was increased by 4.8%, which is associated with the peculiarities of the mineral composition of the introduced natural apple pectin. The regulated quality and safety indicators when storing curd semi-finished products using apple pectin for 30 days did not change and corresponded to the data of regulatory documents. Thanks to the research done, a curd product with functional properties and high quality and safety indicators was obtained, which can be recommended for feeding various groups of the adult population and in the diets of therapeutic and preventive nutrition.

Lactic acid microorganisms are potential sources of the β-galactosidase enzyme, which can be used for the hydrolysis of lactose in the production of low- and lactose-free food products, as well as a catalyst in the biosynthesis of lactulose, galactooligosaccharides, and other valuable food additives. The need of lactic acid bacteria for the presence in the cultivation medium of additional sources of carbon, nitrogen, and other components significantly increases the cost of bacterial β-galactosidases. Lactose-containing raw materials, in particular whey and its UV permeate, are a promising and fairly cheap analogue of expensive complex media for the cultivation of lactic acid microorganisms. In this work, the features of cultivation of various types of lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG, Lactococcus lactis ssp.) in different types of secondary milk raw materials (whey and UV permeate) were studied.. It has been shown that cheese whey is a more favorable medium for their growth than UV permeates. The highest concentration of lactic acid was obtained in experiments with L. acidophilus. To accelerate the growth of lactic acid bacteria in the permeate; it was proposed to use the addition of 2% peptone.

Published: June 2024

In the twenty-first century, public relations gained a new form along with digital media, as well as having a wider area of dialogue. Especially social media offers new opportunities for the development of public relations strategies that focus on building and developing relationships with sharers. While creating dialogical, interactive and relationship development-oriented strategies with social media as a part of public relations, it is also thought to contribute to the development of theory and practice. As previous studies have focused on how web-based communication is used for public relations purposes, this study aims to reveal what is published about public relations on X (Twitter) and how the features of the platform can contribute to public relations practices. In order to examine how public relations discourse is represented on social media, the contents obtained by using the hashtags #halklailiskiler and # publicrelations on X (Twitter) were analyzed. Using content analysis, an exploratory research focused on the type of messages shared and the themes that emerged about public relations were evaluated qualitatively. As a result of the research, the possibilities of acquiring, developing and distributing information in the field of public relations and the ability to strengthen the public relations strategy of social media are emphasized. Since the study covers a two-month period and is researched through a single medium, it has been interpreted with limited data.

Published: June 2024

In Mexico for several years, many students do not learn basic operations beyond algorithms. And when they need to learn basic algebra, in most cases they cannot do it, because they do not understand basic operations. It is important that each student has their own learning process, so if we just explain the same thing in the same way many times, most students do not understand what they are doing wrong. We have seen that students almost always have some logic to perform their results, even if their answers are incorrect. In this paper we will present a first classification of mistakes with its own logic in first degree equations built through Marton’s variation theory, based on the responses of more than a thousand high school and first year university students. It will be the basis for designing an AI Application. Key Words: AI Application, First Degree Equations, Mistakes.

Published: June 2024

The most important thing to increase high school students' motivation in mathematics education is to aim for lifelong learning. In current mathematics education in Japan, the biggest goal of mathematics education for high school students is to pass university entrance exams. In recent years, Japan's declining population has become a serious problem for mathematics education. Anyone can now enter the university of their choice without taking any entrance exams. At this stage, there is no motivation to learn mathematics. This is an opportunity to change the purpose of learning mathematics from university entrance exams to a new purpose. The goal of mathematics education is to develop people who enjoy mathematics throughout their lives. We believe that mathematics education is a lifelong learning experience, not a short-term goal. This requires creative exploration and activity.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a transmittable disease caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The outbreak of the disease has affected the world in a negative manner. The development and on-going vaccination efforts has reduced the mortality rate in people with existing comorbidities and lowered virus transmission rate. However, there are still the needs for prescribed medicines that can be consumed by COVID-19 infected persons. Momordica charantia L. has been used in traditional medicines to treat various diseases including anti-diabetic and cancer. Pharmacological studies on Momordica charantia L. revealed that the plant stored many useful phytoconstituents that might be exploited for producing drug compounds to treat COVID-19. Nowadays, computational-aided drug methods are widely used in drug discovery process as it requires minimal compound design and improve the development pipeline. In this study, molecular docking of five phytochemicals from Momordica charantia L. were carried out against SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro). The results obtained revealed that some of the phytochemicals showed a better dock score compared to the drug molnupiravir. Based on the dock score and the medicinal properties of each compound, it is suggested that these compounds can be further studied for potential drugs against COVID-19.
Region Based Cluster Aided Routing Protocol for Environment Monitoring in Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Saritha Mahankali  , R. Kesavan  , S. A. Kalaiselvan
Published: June 2024

Heterogeneous wireless sensing networks (HWSNs) that are limited by their batteries' power consumption might benefit greatly from more efficient routing algorithms. It is essential that routing accounts for the diversity of network nodes to achieve optimal performance. This letter considers sensor nodes with random initial energies and random disparities in data output rate (traffic) to build a realistic clustering-based WSN suitable for heterogeneous sensing applications. The protocol divides the space into numerous zones with different distance thresholds to deal with the hotspot problem that the multi-hop method creates. The advantages of region-divided routing ensure that only qualified nodes compete for the role of cluster's head during the choice phase and that the cluster heads with the greatest remaining energy in the extremely energetic area are selected as the relay node throughout the inter-cluster routing that includes several hops phase. The simulation findings demonstrate that the protocol may efficiently equalize energy consumption throughout the network, eliminate the issue of "hot spots," be used in an energy-diverse system, and lengthen the service life of the network.
Time Orient Acceleration Gait Pattern Based FOG Prediction on Parkinson Patients Using Deep Learning and Wearable Sensors
Authors: Ezhilarasi Jegadeesan  , Senthil Kiumar Thillaigovindhan
Published: June 2024

The problem of predicting Freeze of Gait (FoG) on Parkinson diseased patients has been well studied. There exists number of approaches in predicting FoG, which uses sensory features, EEG data and so on. However, the methods suffer to achieve higher performance. To handle this issue, an efficient Time Orient Acceleration Gait pattern based FoG prediction model (TOAGP-FoG) is presented in this paper. The model designed to attach accelerometer sensors at different ankle and joints of the body. The sensor signals are recorded at different gait movement in long term. The sensory signals are passed to the central data server which tracks the movement signals. With the time variant signals stored by the model, the method generates Acceleration Gait Pattern with number of features. At each movement, the method analyses the patterns to compute FOG Risk Support (FoGRS) towards various gait movement. The FoG Risk Support is measured according to the movement forces produced by the patient for various gait movement in different time stamp and computes minimum gait force to be produced. Based on the FoGRS value, the method performs FoG prediction. The proposed method improves the performance of FoG prediction with higher accuracy. Other notable aspects of the suggested model include comparable performance, resiliency, real-time prediction capabilities, FOG-specific integration of data, and advanced deep learning methodologies for accurate prediction. The Special Features of TOAGP-FoG include the Multi-Sensor Configuration, Temporal Analysis, Adaptive Thresholding, Dynamic FoG Risk Support (FoGRS), and Enriched Feature Extraction. The TOAGP-FoG model offers an important breakthrough in the predictive modelling of Parkinson's disease since it integrates several features such as temporal flexibility, dynamic FoGRS computation, adaptive thresholding, enriched feature extraction, and multi-sensor configurations.
Automatic Zebra Crossing Using Raspberry PI
Authors: Tanajirao Patil Kaumudi , Anandrao Salunkhe Dhanashree , Chaus S. T.
Published: June 2024

The Automatic Zebra Crossing project enhances pedestrian safety and convenience at zebra crossings using an Atmega8 microcontroller board, a time display, and Progisp software. The project features a pair of automatic gates positioned at both ends of the zebra crossing, closing whenever the traffic signal turns red to stop vehicles. This closure effectively restricts pedestrian movement beyond the zebra crossing area, ensuring enhanced safety. The system works like an automatic stairway, with the gates being opened or closed depending on the condition of the traffic signal. As the central control device, the Atmega8 microcontroller board processes inputs from the traffic signal and generates control signals to open and close the gates. The time display tells pedestrians how much time is left until they can cross in real time. The Atmega8 microcontroller is programmed using the Progisp software, allowing the construction of the control logic and synchronization with the traffic signal. The software enables the microcontroller to work seamlessly with the gate motors and the time display. The Automatic Zebra Crossing system dramatically improves pedestrian safety by keeping people inside the crossing area when the light is red. This system uses gates for straying, lowering accident rates, and optimizing traffic flow. The project documentation outlines the software implementation with Progisp and explains the hardware setup. This setup involves an Atmega8 microcontroller board, gate motors, and a time display. The code integrates a control logic for synchronization.Hardware Requirement:  Raspberry Pi- Pico  Mobile Wi-fi Module  Power Supply Unit  Motor Unit  Relay Unit  Software Requirement:  Python  PC  Web page

Eskiçağ’da Tartışmalı Bir Dini Karakter: Judas Iscariot
Authors: Kızgut Rahim
Published: June 2024

Judas Iscariot, yalnızca Eskiçağ Tarihi için değil aynı zamanda Hristiyanlık Tarihi ve dolayısıyla da Dinler Tarihi için oldukça önemli bir figürdür. Gerek karakteri ve gerekse de İsa’nın çarmıha gerilmesi olayındaki rolü nedeniyle birçok kişiye göre tarihin en nefretle anılan insanlarından biridir. Yeni Ahit’teki dört İncil’de (Markos, Matta, Luka, Yuhanna) de kendisinden bahsedilmiştir. Ancak bu kutsal metinlerde Judas İscoriat ile ilgili benzeşen ifadeler olduğu kadar ayrışan yönler de oldukça dikkat çekicidir. Judas Iscariot’un isminin anlamından havari olarak seçilişine, ihanet sürecinden ve psikolojik durumundan ölümüne kadar pek çok konu tartışmalı olduğu kadar ilginçtir.
Protected taxonomic status and lectotype designation for Holochila albosericea Miskin, 1891 (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)
Authors: Braby Michael F.
Published: June 2024

The well-known Australian lycaenid butterfly, Candalides albosericea (Miskin, 1891), is a junior subjective synonym of Holochila caeruleolactea T.P. Lucas, 1891, which has not been used as a valid name after 1899. To protect the stability of the younger, but widely used name, the older and virtually unknown Holochila caeruleolactea (i.e., the senior subjective synonym) is suppressed under Article 23.9.2 of the Fourth Edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. By this action, Holochila albosericea Miskin, 1891 becomes a nomen protectum and Holochila caeruleolactea T.P. Lucas, 1891 a nomen oblitum. Lectotypes are designated for Holochila albosericea Miskin, 1891 and Holochila caeruleolactea T.P. Lucas, 1891, respectively.

Protected territories have great potential for nature-based forms of tourism. These specific forms of tourism have also been considered as a tool for developing sustainable forms of tourism. Therefore, they have been a subject of scientific research in recent years. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tourist functions of the Shumen Plateau Nature Park in North-East Bulgaria. It is among the small natural parks in terms of area, but it is a valuable natural site among the vast, highly anthropogenically modified territory of the eastern part of the Danube plain. By using the survey method, the study determines the overall recognition of the area and analyzes the visitor‘s opinions regarding the tourist use of the park territory. According to the results of this study the Shumen Plateau Nature Park has potential for protection and management of natural processes and, in parallel, an opportunity for the development of sustainable tourism and the implementation of ecological-educational and tourist programs. Visitors are well aware of the possibilities for tourism and sports, while they do not take advantage of all possibilities, but only the ones that are a priority for them. 100% of respondents answer positively when asked “Would you visit the Shumen Plateau again?”. Further research could combine more innovative and mixed methodologies to broaden the research interest.
A review of the Cochylimorpha perfusana (Guenée, 1845) species group (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) in Europe, with the description of a new species from the Southern Carpathians (Romania)

European species of the Cochylimorpha perfusana (Guenée, 1845) species group are revised. Four species are recognized, all closely related to C. perfusana (Guenée, 1845) with which they have previously been confused. Based on morphological differences and DNA barcode data, C. callosana (Herrich-Schäffer, 1856), sp. rev. and C. dorsimaculana (Preissecker, 1908), sp. rev., are re-instated to their original species rank. Inconsistencies in their taxonomy leading to their synonymy are shown and corrected. Cochylimorpha bucegiana Z. Kovács, S. Kovács & P. Buchner, sp. nov. is described from the subalpine meadows of the Bucegi and Făgăraș Mountains (Southern Carpathians, Romania), and the other three species are redescribed. Adults and genitalia of both sexes of all four, and the habitat of three taxa are figured. The geographic distribution of each species is re-evaluated based on the examined material and a critical analysis of the literature. Literature data for which no material could be found for examination are treated as doubtful and in need of confirmation. Cochylimorpha perfusana is widely distributed in mountain areas of Europe (Alps, Carpathians and Pirin Mountains), C. callosana is widespread only in the north-western Balkan Peninsula and north-eastern Italy, and local in eastern France, Corsica and Hungary, the other two seem to be endemics, C. dorsimaculana to Wachau and Retz in Lower Austria and C. bucegianasp. nov. to the Southern Carpathians in Romania. Cochylimorpha perfusana is recorded for the first time from Bulgaria; the first confirmed records of C. callosana from Slovenia and Hungary are given; and in the north-eastern Italian fauna C. callosana replaces C. perfusana. Records of C. perfusana from Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and north-western Italy require confirmation.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe pregnancy disorder posing significant health risks to both the mother and the fetus without available preventive measures or treatments. More specifically, the main pathological feature of early-onset PE (EO-PE) is the incomplete transformation of the spiral artery. Meanwhile, aspirin has proven effective for the treatment and prevention of PE. Previous studies indicated a relationship between the phytochemical compound of kopyor coconut water (KCW) and nutritional treatment for PE. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of KCW as a potential preventive treatment for PE. An experimental laboratory method was used with pre-test and post-test control group designs. The samples comprised 35 pregnant Wistar rats, divided into five groups with seven members each. Rats were then randomized into control and groups exposed to L-NAME, L-NAME and aspirin, L-NAME and KCW 2 ml/200 gBW, as well as L-Name and KCW 2 ml/200 gBW for GD4 to 19. The results showed that after administering L-NAME to induce EO-PE, mean arterial pressure (MAP), proteinuria, placental hypoxia, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction decreased due to KCW nutritional treatment. Specifically, KCW nutrition prevented the uterine spiral artery from expanding and reduced the number of neutrophils. The decreased survival rate caused by L-NAME-induced PE was reversed by providing KCW nutrition. Moreover, results indicated that KCW was a potential alternative for the prevention and treatment of EO-PE even at doses of 2 or 3 ml/200 gBW, offering insights for the community and clinical practitioners in treating PE as a therapeutic option.
From Sadness to Joy: The Potentials of Transforming the Impact Agenda
Authors: Paylor Jonathan
Published: June 2024

This article seeks to envision a mode of university governance that takes us beyond a neoliberal audit culture and its affective organisation of academic life. It takes up this task by probing the potentials of transforming the ‘impact agenda’ (i.e., the trend towards audit
systems and funding mechanisms that assess academics on the basis of their non-academic research impact). Grounded in an ethnography of a UK university, and informed by a Spinozist ethics of joy, the article draws attention to an alternative conception of subjectivity to that which the impact
agenda propagates, one that is conceived in terms of collective creativity and which breaks with the neoliberal notion of the competitive individual. I argue this understanding of subjectivity points to a threshold where the impact agenda can become something else. More specifically, drawing
inspiration from the idea of ‘collective joy’, I map an alternative that is centred on the goal of enhancing academics’ and non-academics’ capacity for collective creativity. What is at stake in making this conversion is moving from a mode of governance that is debilitating
to one that is empowering.
Instructional Design, Industry Partnerships, and QR Codes Improve Nursing Competency Evaluation
Authors: Scott Anthony , Yefimova Maria , Brand Ashley
Published: June 2024

Background:

New medical devices are frequently introduced at the point of care, and nursing competence in their management is critical for safe patient care. Industry vendors often provide on-the-job in-services for new devices within the constraints of clinical priorities, yet these in-services are not usually monitored or systematically coordinated with stakeholders.

Method:

This project employed quick response (QR) codes and best practices in instructional design in a partnership with vendors to develop and evaluate the impact of an in-service for a new medical device on nursing competence. An online survey measured usefulness, knowledge, and the change in self-perceived competence.

Discussion:

A total of 536 nurses participated, and 91.2% correctly answered five or six of six questions about device management. The proportion of nurses rating their competence as
no experience
decreased from 21.2% to 4.5%, and ratings for
can do independently/competent
increased from 37.6% to 60.2%.

Conclusion:

The use of QR codes offers novel solutions to evaluate how structured, on-the-job education can positively impact nursing practice around medical devices.
