Abstract. Air-water gas exchange is essential to understanding and quantifying many biogeochemical processes in streams and rivers, including greenhouse gas emissions and metabolism. Gas exchange depends on two factors, which are often quantified separately: 1) the air-water concentration gradient of the gas and 2) the gas exchange velocity. There are fewer measurements of gas exchange velocity compared to concentrations in streams and rivers, which limits accurate characterization of air-water gas exchange (i.e., flux rates). The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) conducts SF6 gas-loss experiments in 22 of their 24 wadeable streams using standardized methods across all experiments and sites, and publishes raw concentration data from these experiments on the NEON data portal. NEON also conducts NaCl injections that can be used to characterize hydraulic geometry at all 24 wadeable streams. These NaCl injections are conducted both as part of the gas-loss experiments and separately. Here, we use these data to estimate gas exchange and water velocity using the reaRates R package. The dataset presented includes estimates of hydraulic parameters, cleaned raw concentration SF6 tracer-gas data (including removing outliers and failed experiments), estimated SF6 gas loss rates, normalized gas exchange velocities (k600, m d−1) and normalized depth-dependent gas exchange rates (K600, d−1). This dataset provides one of the largest compilations of gas loss experiments (n = 339) in streams to date. This dataset is unique in that it contains gas exchange estimates from repeated experiments in geographically diverse streams across a range of discharges. In addition, this dataset contains information on the hydraulic geometry of all 24 NEON wadeable streams, which will support future research using NEON aquatic data. This dataset is a valuable resource that can be used to explore both within- and across-reach variability in the hydraulic geometry and gas exchange velocity in streams.

Abstract. Suspension faults have a detrimental impact on the safety and handling stability of a vehicle. Therefore, monitoring the condition of suspension systems is significant to ensuring the safe operation of modern vehicles. This paper proposes an online monitoring scheme that utilizes binocular vision and kinematic decoupling, to fulfill real-time monitoring requirements for suspensions. To implement the proposed method, a system consisting of a binocular camera and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) is established for acquiring vibration signals from the vehicle body. Additionally, the vibration signals are analyzed with stochastic subspace identification (SSI) method to determine the modal parameters of suspensions. By analyzing the changes in suspension modal parameters, the types and degrees of faults in the suspension system were identified and evaluated. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively extract the vertical vibration signals of a vehicle. Moreover, the fault identification method based on modal parameters can identify the changes in vehicle modal parameters with high reliability under different spring stiffness, damper damping and tire pressure conditions. The proposed method is proven to be effective in identifying suspension faults, paving a way for online condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of vehicle suspensions.

WORSHIP OF THE MASTER SPIRIT OF WATER IN THE YAKUTS' SHAMANIC FOLKLORE
Authors: Ефимова Л.С. , Миронова М.Т.
Published: August 2024

В работе проанализированы тексты пяти камланий якутских шаманов двух региональных традиций, посвященных поклонению духу-хозяину воды. Использованы методы сравнительно-сопоставительного, структурносемантического анализа текстовых материалов, записанных И. А. Худяковым во второй половине XIX в. в Верхоянском округе, А. А. Поповым в начале XX в. в Вилюйском округе. Авторы приходят к выводу, что носители северной верхоянской и вилюйской региональных фольклорных традиций, расположенных далеко друг от друга в территориальном плане, одинаково поклонялись духам-хозяевам воды. Поклонение выражалось в аналогичных обрядовых действиях, в их вербальной части - в шаманских алгысах. В алгысах шаманы двух традиций обращались к одним и тем же адресатам - духам-хозяевам морей, озер, рек. Вилюйские якуты, живущие теперь далеко от моря, сохранили поклонение бай^ал иччитэ 'духу-хозяину моря', одному из ранних объектов поклонения только в шаманском фольклоре. Шаманские алгысы двух региональных традиций якутов имели одинаковые адресаты, аналогичную композиционную структуру.

The work analyzes the texts of five kamlanies (shamanistic rituals) of Yakut shamans of two regional traditions dedicated to the worship of the Master Spirit of Water. We used methods of comparative, structural and semantic analysis of text materials, recorded by I. A. Khudyakov in the second half of the 19th century in the Verkhoyansk District and by A. A. Popov in the early 20th century in the Vilyuisk District. It was concluded that the bearers of the northern Verkhoyansk and Vilyuisk regional folklore traditions, located far from each other geographically, worshipped the master spirits of water equally. Worship was expressed in similar ritual actions, in their verbal part - in shamanic algyses (thanking). In algyses, shamans of two traditions addressed the same addressees - the master spirits of the seas, lakes, and rivers. The Vilyuisk Yakuts, who now live far from the sea, have preserved the worship of Baikal Ichchite - the 'Master Spirit of the Sea' - one of the early objects of worship only in shamanic folklore. Shamanic algyses of the Yakuts' two regional traditions had the same addressees and a similar compositional structure.

Native and prosthetic septic arthritis in a university hospital in Saudi Arabia: A retrospective study
Authors: Kaki Reham
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Septic arthritis, whether native or prosthetic, poses a significant challenge in clinical practice due to its potentially devastating consequences. Despite its clinical importance, there remains a dearth of comprehensive studies and standardized diagnostic criteria, particularly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

AIM

To investigate the epidemiology, microbiological profiles, and clinical characteristics of native and prosthetic septic joints in the Saudi Arabian population.

METHODS

Medical records of patients diagnosed with septic arthritis between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2022, were retrospectively reviewed. Data regarding patient demographics, clinical presentation, microbiological cultures, treatment modalities, and outcomes were analyzed.

RESULTS

In a retrospective review of 52 cases of septic arthritis, a balanced gender distribution was observed (1:1 ratio), with the knee being the most commonly affected joint (80.8%). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus predominated in native joints (24.2%), while Brucella spp. was more prevalent in prosthetic joints (21.1%). Joint preservation was achieved in most cases (84.6%), with no significant difference in clinical features between native and prosthetic joints. However, certain comorbidities were more common in native joint cases, including renal impairment (P = 0.002), hemodialysis (P = 0.004), heart disease (P = 0.013), and chronic liver disease (P = 0.048). At the same time, osteoarthritis was more prevalent in prosthetic joint cases (P = 0.013). Vancomycin was the most frequently used antibiotic (26.9%), and most patients received antibiotics before joint aspiration (57.7%). Surgical intervention, predominantly arthrotomy, was required in most cases (32.7%). Notably, a significant association was found between joint type and mortality (odds ratio = 0.587, P = 0.048), as well as the Charlson comorbidity index and mortality (P = 0.001).

CONCLUSION

This study highlighted distinctive microbiological profiles and etiological factors in septic arthritis cases in the Saudi Arabian population.

BACKGROUND

The sphericity of the femoral head is a metric used to evaluate hip pathologies and is associated with the development of osteoarthritis and femoral-acetabular impingement.

AIM

To analyze the three-dimensional asphericity of the femoral head of asymptomatic pediatric hips. We hypothesized that femoral head asphericity will vary significantly between male and female pediatric hips and increase with age in both sexes.

METHODS

Computed tomography scans were obtained on 158 children and adolescents from a single institution in the United States (8-18 years; 50% male) without hip pain. Proximal femoral measurements including the femoral head diameter, femoral head volume, residual volume, asphericity index, and local diameter difference were used to evaluate femoral head sphericity.

RESULTS

In both sexes, the residual volume increased by age (P < 0.05). Despite significantly smaller femoral head size in older ages (> 13 years) in females, there were no sex-differences in residual volume and aspherity index. There were no age-related changes in mean diameter difference in both sexes (P = 0.07) with no significant sex-differences across different age groups (P = 0.06). In contrast, there were significant increases in local aspherity (maximum diameter difference) across whole surface of the femoral head and all quadrants except the inferior regions in males (P = 0.03). There were no sex-differences in maximum diameter difference at any regions and age group (P > 0.05). Increased alpha angle was only correlated to increased mean diameter difference across overall surface of the femoral head (P = 0.024).

CONCLUSION

There is a substantial localized asphericity in asymptomatic hips which increases with age in. While 2D measured alpha angle can capture overall asphericity of the femoral head, it may not be sensitive enough to represent regional asphericity patterns.

Authors: Han Mi-Ran , Hwang Jeong-Hwan , Cha Seungah , Jeon So-Yeon , Jang Kyu Yun , Kim Namsu , Lee Chang-Hoon
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare, life-threatening disorder caused by abnormal histiocytes and T cell activation. In adults, it is predominantly associated with infections, cancers, and autoimmune diseases. Relapsing polychondritis (RP), another rare disease, is diagnosed based on symptoms without specific tests, featuring cartilage inflammation characterized by swelling, redness, and pain, rarely inducing HLH.

CASE SUMMARY

A 74-year-old woman visited the emergency room with a fever of 38.6 °C. Blood tests, cultures, and imaging were performed to evaluate fever. Results showed increased fluorescent antinuclear antibody levels and mild cytopenia, with no other specific findings. Imaging revealed lymph node enlargement was observed; however, biopsy results were inconclusive. Upon re-evaluation of the physical exam, inflammatory signs suggestive of RP were observed in the ears and nose, prompting a tissue biopsy for confirmation. Simultaneously, persistent fever accompanied by cytopenia prompted a bone marrow examination, revealing hemophagocytic cells. After finding no significant results in blood culture, viral markers, and tissue examination of enlarged lymph nodes, HLH was diagnosed by RP. Treatment involved methylprednisolone followed by azathioprine. After two months, bone marrow examination confirmed resolution of hemophagocytosis, with normalization of hyperferritinemia and pancytopenia.

CONCLUSION

Thorough physical examination enabled diagnosis and treatment of HLH triggered by RP in patients presenting with fever of unknown origin.
Diversity of nudibranchs in shallow water habitats in the region of Tromsø, northern Norway
Authors: Broms Fredrik
Published: August 2024

Baseline data on the distribution of marine species is crucial to be able to address biogeographical patterns and to monitor  changes in species occurrences in marine systems. Nudibranch mollusks have proved to be useful bioindicators for monitoring  shifts in distribution and have received much attention by the scientific community in recent years. Being positioned in a zoogeographic transition zone between boreal and Arctic regions, northern Norway is an important area for detecting and tracking early distributional shifts. Despite this, no comprehensive knowledge on current biodiversity and distribution of nudibranchs exists from the region. This work presents, for the first time, an annotated and illustrated inventory of nudibranchs in shallow water habitats of the Tromsø region in northern Norway. In total, 49 different nudibranch species or taxa belonging to 19 different families were recorded during the time period May 2020 – December 2023. Compared to occurrence data from literature records and online data sources, 31 species are here reported from the region for the first time. In addition, northern range extensions are presented for a significant part of the Norwegian nudibranch fauna. By documenting current biodiversity and distribution the present study hopes to serve as a baseline for studies focused on monitoring biodiversity in the Arctic region in the future.

Published: August 2024

The increased production and consumption of pharmaceuticals represent a potential environmental threat. Thus, advanced treatments are necessary to remove pharmaceutical products from water. A promising removal alternative is low-cost adsorbents, due to their availability, low processing, and favorable results. This study used sunflower seed husks (SSH) and chemically treated sunflower seed husks (TSSH) as bioadsorbents to remove chloroquine from water. Results showed that the pseudo-second-order is the kinetic model with the best fit for both adsorbents. As for isothermic models, the best fit for SSH was Langmuir, and for TSSH, Freundlich. Maximum adsorption capacities of qe=168.09±22.98 mg/g and qe=185.91±27.23 mg/g were found through the isothermic models for SSH and TSSH, respectively. In addition, SSH reached 80% of its initial adsorption capacity after three adsorption-desorption cycles, indicating physisorption and good applicability due to its reusability. Thus, SSH is an efficient adsorbent for chloroquine removal with excellent regeneration capacity, low production cost, and low waste production. This study serves as a model for the use of SSH in the removal of contaminants of emerging concern.

O Pennisetum purpureum (Schumach) cultivar BRS Capiaçu destaca-se das demais espécies forrageiras por apresentar elevada capacidade produtiva. Visando melhorar o manejo vegetal a campo, é necessário uniformizar a germinação/emergência de sementes ou mudas, bem como o rápido desenvolvimento vegetal. Assim, a utilização de bactérias promotoras de crescimento de planta enquadra-se como uma estratégia viável e sustentável, sobretudo por reduzir diversos danos ambientais causados pela prática trivial de diversos insumos agrícolas. Este estudo objetivou avaliar a germinação, as características morfológicas e fisiológicas de plântulas de BRS Capiaçu, após a inoculação do colmo/mudas com bactérias promotoras de crescimento de plantas isoladas de Brachiaria decumbens Stapf. e Brachiaria humidicola (Rendle.) Schweickerdt. O experimento foi realizado em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com duas avaliações, ao 11º e 25º dias após as inoculações. Foram avaliados 19 tratamentos, sendo 16 inoculantes bacterianos, dois inoculantes comerciais (Biomais® e Biomaphos®) e um controle sem inoculação. Todos os tratamentos foram mantidos em câmara de germinação a 25°C, desvio padrão ±5°C sob 12h de fotoperíodo. As inoculações bacterianas promoveram aumentos na germinação e nas características morfológicas e fisiológicas de plântulas de BRS Capiaçu no 11º e 25º dias após suas inoculações, superando o tratamento controle e, por vezes, assemelhando ou superando os inóculos comerciais. As bactérias isoladas de B. decumbens e com alta produção de ácido indolacético proporcionaram os maiores incrementos no desenvolvimento das plântulas. Por fim, conclui-se que os inóculos bacterianos, além de melhorar o estabelecimento de plantas de Capiaçu, são uma alternativa eficaz e sustentável ao uso de produtos sintéticos, contribuindo com um ecossistema agrícola ambientalmente mais equilibrado.

Published: August 2024

The selection of the best village secretary in Pondok Kelapa Sub-District is carried out directly by the sub-district. In determining the best village secretary, Pondok Kelapa Sub-District is considered ineffective, as it is challenging to decide who is suitable to become the best village secretary. The decision support system application determines the best village secretary candidate in Pondok Kelapa Sub-District using the Exponential Comparison Method (ECM). The first step is to assign weights to each criterion, followed by ranking to determine the highest alternative from all available alternatives. This highest alternative is the result worthy of being accepted as a tested village secretary based on the predetermined criteria. This study concludes that the system built can assist the sub-district in selecting a village secretary who meets the standards, thus enabling them to carry out the tasks and responsibilities assigned to the village secretary.

The election of the chairman and deputy chairman of the OSIS is held every year by all schools including SMPN 10 Bengkulu Selatan. The election was carried out conventionally where this activity required quite a lot of money and energy as well as quite long teaching and learning hours which were cut to carry out the election of the OSIS chairman. Apart from that, there is the potential for fraud, human error, operational inefficiencies from the start to the end of the election, and non-real-time monitoring which are shortcomings of conventional voting systems. To answer this problem, research is proposed which aims to build a web-based e-voting system for the election of OSIS chairman at SMPN 10 Bengkulu Selatan. The software development method used is Rapid Application Development (RAD). The method emphasizes rapid and incremental prototyping.

‘The True Tabernacle’ of Hebrews 8:2: A Response to Nicholas J. Moore
Authors: Church Philip
Published: August 2024

Does Hebrews 8:5 claim that Israel’s earthly sanctuaries are ‘shadowy copies’ of a heavenly sanctuary, or do these sanctuaries anticipate an eschatological sanctuary where God will dwell with his people, as I have argued? Nicholas J. Moore has critiqued my reading of this verse on the grounds that reading the expression ὑπόδειγμα καὶ σκιά as ‘copy and shadow’ is lexically permissible, that the idea that Israel’s earthly sanctuaries are copies of the heavenly sanctuary is widespread in the Second Temple period, and that my reading involves an awkward switch between temple and tabernacle in Hebrews 8:5. This article argues that it cannot be demonstrated that ὑπόδειγμα can have the sense ‘copy’, that the idea of the temple as an anticipation of God’s eschatological dwelling with his people is present at Qumran in ways that are similar to what is found in Hebrews, and that my reading involves no awkward switch between tabernacle and temple in Hebrews 8:5. Ultimately, it can be shown that a temporal reading of ὑπόδειγμα καί σκιά in Hebrews 8:5 contributes more to its context than does a spatial reading.
Perfect-absorption, High-sensitivity, and Low-thickness THz Gas Sensor Based on Tamm Plasmon Polaritons
Authors: Rezaei Mir Hamid
Published: August 2024

In this paper, an ultra-high sensitivity and low-thickness gas sensor based on the excitation of Tamm plasmon polaritons (TPPs) and Fabry-Perot resonances in the frequency range of 0.1 to 1THz is presented. The sensor consists of a graphene sheet, a spacer layer, a gas tank, and a one-dimensional dielectric-metallic photonic crystal (DM-PhC). The transfer matrix method is used to evaluate the effects of various parameters, including the presence of the graphene sheet, the number of periods, the chemical potential of graphene, and the thickness of the layers, on the absorption spectrum of the sensor. The simulation results reveal that the presence of the graphene sheet is mandatory for exciting TPPs. Additionally, the use of a DM-PhC enhances the absorption and reduces the thickness of the sensor. The absorption and sensitivity of the sensor can reach high values of 99.98% and 0.887THz/RIU for adjusting the geometrical parameters. The sensor benefits from high absorption and sensitivity, fabrication-friendly structure, tunability by the chemical potential of graphene, and low thickness. The proposed sensor can find many applications in industrial fields.

Entire Pathogenesis Process of Disease Established Upon Shatkriyakala Concept
Authors:   Department of Roga Nidan Evam Vikriti Vigyan, Govt Ayurvedic College & Hospital, Balangir, Odisha, India, Sahu Dr Dinesh Ranjan
Published: August 2024

Ayurveda is a complete life science giving equal emphasis to both prevention and treatment of disease. It also has elaborated the manifestation of disease starting from etiology to complications. In the Sutrasthana's Vran-Prashniya Adhyaya chapter, Acharya Sushrut has talked about Shatkriyakala in this context. The three sharir doshas—Pitta, Kapha, and Vata—are the primary drivers of all bodily activities. If there is an imbalance between these doshas, it can affect Dhātu and lead to a number of ailments due to specific reasons. It is crucial to understand how these doshas go through our bodies from now on. The terms Kriya and Kala, which denote time and treatment or action, respectively, make up the phrase Kriyakala. Kriyakala, then, refers to the period of therapy or chances within the course of a disease's appearance. It also advises us on the best course of action and when to begin therapy. It includes six stages – Sanchaya, Prakopa, Prasara, Sthanasamsraya, Vyaktavasta, Bhedavasta.

Study on the Influence of Crack Geometry Characteristics on Macroscopic Mechanical Properties of Roadway Surrounding Rock
Authors: Tian Zhonggang
Published: August 2024

Granite, although generally low in porosity, often contains numerous microcracks or microfractures that significantly constrain its mechanical strength. This study focuses on the mechanical properties of deteriorated rocks due to joints and cracks in granite, using the Mesozoic Sanjiazi granite in the Liaodong Uplift, Dandong City as a case study. A discrete element model based on particle flow was established using a trial-and-error approach to iteratively calibrate microscopic parameters until they matched actual conditions. Different fractured rock masses underwent uniaxial compression tests and orthogonal discrete element numerical simulations involving a 4-factor, 4-level experimental design. A multivariate linear regression analysis assessed the impact of the four factors on granite's mechanical properties, while numerical experiments investigated the influence of individual factors on its macroscopic mechanical characteristics. Results indicate that the geometric characteristics of cracks exert a greater influence on granite's peak strength than on its elastic modulus. Specifically, the sequence of crack geometric parameters affecting peak strength is crack Y-axis position component > crack X-axis position component > crack length > crack inclination angle. Similarly, the sequence of their impact on elastic modulus is crack X-axis position component > crack Y-axis position component > crack length > crack inclination angle. As the angle increases, the crack initiation point gradually moves towards both ends of the crack, with the specimen primarily experiencing tensile cracking and localized shear failure at the crack tips. Longer cracks correlate with lower peak strength and thus poorer stability in granite. Changes in the position of primary microcracks in granite significantly alter its peak strength and stress-strain state post-peak, albeit without a pronounced effect on elastic modulus. This research contributes valuable insights for predicting the mechanical properties of fractured granite.
