CONTROL OF EGG HATCHER TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY WITH AIR AS A MATLAB-BASED CONTROL
Authors: Mukhtar Agus
Published: February 2024

AbstractEgg incubator on the market consists of three systems, namely manual, semi-automatic and automatic. The three egg hatching systems use water as a medium to control temperature and humidity in the hatchery. The use of water in the hatchery is very troublesome because it must always monitor the availability of water due to evaporation. In addition, the presence of water in the hatchery can invite mosquitoes to nest. For this reason, the author uses air as a medium to control temperature and humidity in the hatchery so that these things do not happen. In this study, analysis and simulation was carried out using Matlab software to find the best rise time value for the distance between the heating element and the egg rack so that the temperature on the egg rack was 38oC. In addition, an analysis of heat propagation from the heat source (heating element) to the egg rack was carried out using Solidworks software. Furthermore, an analysis of the air flow rate in the hatchery was carried out in the ventilation holes below and above the hatchery using solidworks software. After all the simulation data is obtained, a prototype is made to test the hatch percentage value on the egg incubator made. From the simulation results of the Matlab software, the distance between the heater and the egg rack is 11 cm, which has the best rise time value of 2.8 minutes. The simulation results from the Matlab software then simulated heat propagation using the Solidworks software on the egg rack to obtain a temperature of around 50oC. The simulation results of several air ventilation holes in the hatchery against the air flow rate obtained an even air flow rate in the hatchery. From the observation of the egg incubator prototype, the temperature was 38oC and the humidity was between 56% - 72% and the average hatching percentage was 28%.

La contribución del Área de Sensores y Procesamiento de Señales (UAM-Azcapotzalco, México) y del Grupo de Sistemas de Control de Tráfico (UPV, Valencia, España) en el desarrollo de instrumentos de monitorización medio ambiental que utilizan el nuevo paradigma de la adquisición de datos a través de un convertidor de frecuencia a código digital, en lugar del paradigma convencional del convertidor analógico-digital, se ha visto materializada con el diseño de un visibilímetro para aplicaciones de tráfico terrestre. Debido, justamente, a la adopción de este nuevo paradigma, el sistema óptico de captación de la señal, necesaria para estimar la visibilidad espacial en condiciones meteorológicas adversas (niebla, lluvia intensa, nieve, etc.), ha debido diseñarse para rechazar ópticamente las interferencias lumínicas, ya que la supresión electrónica convencional de estas interferencias no tiene sentido con el nuevo método de adquisición de datos. En consecuencia, se ha hecho necesario caracterizar el sistema óptico de captación del visibilímetro antes de considerar la caracterización total del instrumento. En este informe, se presenta la caracterización del sensor del visibilímetro que ha consistido en obtener: a) la respuesta experimental del sensor en función de la irradiancia recibida para diferentes valores de su longitud de onda, b) la responsividad o sensibilidad experimental del sensor en función de la longitud de onda de la irradiancia recibida y c) la solución material adoptada para rechazar las interferencias lumínicas a partir del análisis de los resultados experimentales.

The female syntype of Palpares sparsus McLachlan, 1867 is conspecific with Pseudopalpares sobrinus (Navás, 1912). The type specimen of Palpares aemulus Péringuey, 1911 is re-examined and the synonym status of Pseudopalpares nyicanus (Kolbe, 1897) is confirmed. A key for species is also given.
Barndomens reglering via skol- och föreningsidrott
Authors: Peterson Tomas
Published: February 2024

In 2003, the Swedish government made a “handshake” (Handslaget) with the The Swedish Sports Confederation, offering one billion Swedish crowns over a period of four years to local sport clubs in order to create projects that would engage more children in organised sport. One way of doing this was by way of sport clubs collaborating with schools, so that within the school day pupils would be exposed to club sports – either through club instructors coming to the school or the pupils coming to the club facilities. But what happens when an activity constructed on one social field, in Bourdieu’s sense, and according to the specific conditions of that field, is simply lifted over to another social field? The basic aim of school sport is to enable each individual take the responsibility for his or her body in a lifetime perspective, whereas club sport is based on competition and strives towards selection, ranking and elitism. This article is based on an evaluation of all projects taking place within school hours in Malmö during 2005-2006. In relation to the basic goal, formulated unilaterally by the State and the Sports Confederation, that these projects should lead to the activation of children that are not yet physically active, the article argues that the result may be the opposite: the weakening of both the school subject Physical Education and the normal activity of sport clubs.

Published: February 2024

Objective: This study assesses the impact of LASER photobiomodulation (808nm at 1400 mW and 637nm at 100 mW, with a 2-minutes irradiation per wavelength, total dose: 1.4 W/cm² and 1 W/cm², respectively) on milk composition and quality in cows suffering from clinical mastitis.
 
Theoretical Framework: Research indicates LASER photobiomodulation's potential in improving animal health, yet there’s a gap in specific therapeutic protocols for treating clinical mastitis in cows using this technology.
 
Methodology: The study involved 20 cows with clinical mastitis. Their mammary quarters were assessed for fat and protein composition, Somatic Cell Count, Urea Nitrogen levels, Microbiological Culture, and Antibiotic Sensitivity and Milk production. Comparisons were made between two groups over six days: one receiving a combination of antibiotics and LASER photobiomodulation therapy, and a control group receiving only antibiotics.
 
Results and Conclusion: LASER photobiomodulation significantly aided the treatment of clinical mastitis in conjunction with antibiotics. This combination not only helped in curing mastitis but also reduced the Somatic Cell Count and increased milk production, marking it as a viable alternative therapy.
 
Implications of the Research: This study contributes to establishing a more effective treatment protocol for clinical mastitis, combining photobiomodulation with traditional antibiotic methods.
 
Originality/Value: This pioneering research showcases the use of a photobiostimulation device as a supplementary treatment for controlling clinical mastitis in dairy cows, integrated with antibiotic therapy. It underscores the enhanced efficiency of such combined treatments, contributing to the Sustainability.

Published: February 2024

Objective: In this context, this research aimed to evaluate the influence of different types of coagulants, one inorganic and one natural (PAC and Tanfloc), in the treatment of an effluent from a pig slaughterhouse.
 
Method/design/approach: Both coagulants were prepared in aqueous solution at the time of the test, 1% (v/v) for PAC and 0.5% (m/v) for Tanfloc. To assess the effect of the coagulants on the effluent, coagulation/flocculation tests were carried out using the jar-test apparatus. The dosages evaluated for both coagulants were 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 mg/L. The parameters analyzed were color and turbidity.
 
Results and conclusion: According to the results of the statistical analysis, the optimum dosages obtained for both coagulants was 250 mg/L. With these dosages, removal of the parameters analyzed was observed (> 94% for turbidity and > 85% for color) with residuals (< 40 NTU for turbidity and < 400 uH for color), showing better results at this optimum dosage when Tanfloc is used as a coagulant.
 
Implications of the research: The growing awareness that effluent treatment is of fundamental importance to public health and environmental pollution control has led us to look for low-cost alternatives to treat these effluents, using a vegetable organic coagulant based on tannin as an alternative to aluminum polychloride (PAC).
 
Originality/value: Due to the growing need for low-cost, easily accessible treatments that do not require large areas, physical-chemical treatment of slaughterhouse effluent can be used as a pre-treatment, with the use of alternative coagulants, being a viable way to reduce organic matter for subsequent biological treatment, or in some cases replace the biological process.

Authors: Da Trindade Junior Osiel César , Chaves Edna Maria Ferreira , De Barros Roseli Farias Melo
Published: February 2024

Objective: To understand traditional dietary practices involving Hibiscus sabdariffa L. among residents of two rural communities (Barra do Saco and Saco) in the municipality of Codó, Maranhão, Brazil.
 
Theoretical Framework: Ethnoknowledge is crucial for obtaining information about food plants in rural communities. Hibiscus sabdariffa L., popularly known as vinagreira (roselle), is a naturalized plant consumed as food in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil.
 
Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with men and women using forms, along with photographic documentation, field notes, and the guided tour technique, supplemented by bibliographic research.
 
Results and Conclusion: Knowledge about vinagreira is consistent among both men and women. Only the younger and greener leaves are harvested, as they impart a less bitter taste when preparing cuxá. The fruits are consumed fresh or in the form of sweets. The preparation of cuxá, a typical dish in Maranhão cuisine, is predominantly carried out by women.
 
Research Implications: The method of food preparation is an integral part of the traditional culture of these communities, passed down through generations. Culture, symbols, traditions, and knowledge are resilient constructs of the residents. Ethnoknowledge promotes the conservation of ethnobotanical knowledge in rural areas, elucidating the processes of human-nature interaction over time.
 
Originality/Value: Cultural information was successfully retrieved from rural communities through the use and knowledge of vinagreira, highlighting that these populations possess rich cultural histories and beliefs that may generate new hypotheses.
The Historical Projections of Poverty Trapped in the Hegemony of the Capitalist Ideology within the Frame of the World Bank's Quasi-War on Poverty
Authors: SARI AKSAKAL Betül
Published: February 2024

The World Bank is an important international institution that plays a role in forming the perception of global poverty and the fight against poverty. Since its foundation, the Bank's approach to the concept of poverty and the policies it proposes to eliminate poverty have undergone radical changes. The study aims to reveal the theoretical and practical dimensions of the Bank's approach to poverty with their evolutionary reflections. In the study, different definitions of the World Bank regarding the concept of poverty will be included in the axis of poverty concept and different depictions of the transformation of poverty-related policies over the years. The development approach the Bank has developed for the last 40 years is likely connected to the neoliberal policies loyal to mainstream (neoclassical) economics principles. Therefore, the emphasis on the problem of poverty put by the Bank for the last few decades consists of representing the same political prescriptions to the world economies to solve the problem. In this context, it can be argued that the policies created by the Bank regarding poverty rely on ideological concerns rather than reality since it is clear that the development discourses effectuated by the Bank over the years and the policies for the elimination of poverty generated accordingly cannot be evaluated independently of the dynamics arising from the efforts of the US to perpetuate its hegemony over the international capitalist system.

The advertising world has been always concerned looking for the relationship between TV advertising spending and the sales amount of advertised products, particularly mass consumer goods (edibles) and automobiles. The measures was the relationship between advertising pressure in terms of GRP's and notoriety be spontaneous or suggested recall, which was supposed to be translated into sales later, but the consumer needed to have the product available on the shelf. Retain sales are controlled at brand/item level but ads are usually linked to brands. Sinergetics through a model used to explain the Formation of Public Opinion offers a platform to link group attractiveness by TV investment with product sales. We checked it for a narrow market as the colas reversing the reasoning. If the system forecast two groups of opinion that we assimilate to sales how much of the TV advertising expenditure can be correlated. More than 70%.

Authors: Shamak Slavyana Alekseevna
Published: February 2024

Determining the prospects for the development of the Russian state, identifying patterns of changes in the legal status of the police, developing new approaches to solving fundamental problems of the theory of state and law in modern conditions cannot be carried out without taking into account the theoretical heritage of outstanding Russian lawyers, among whom belongs Eduard Nikolaevich Berendts (1860-1930), whose name was unreasonably forgotten in the Soviet period. The subject of the study is the biography of Eduard Nikolaevich Berendts. A detailed study of the life, teaching, and service in various departments of E.N. Behrendts helped reconstruct the stages of his state-legal views. In particular, the study of Berendts' life in the Republic of Estonia from 1918 to 1930 helped to find the scientist's works, translate them into Russian, evaluate his views and introduce them into scientific circulation.   The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the biography of E. N. Behrendts has not been fully studied by modern scientists. The little-studied scientific and social activities of the scientist even caused some misunderstandings and inaccuracies, attributing to him publications of which he is not the author. The special contribution of the author of the article lies in the fact that he works with the works of Berendts created in the Republic of Estonia in 1920-1930; with acts resulting from the state and public activities of Berendts in the Russian Empire and his participation in legislative activities in the Republic of Estonia; with the materials of Berendts' private correspondence; with the help of work in the Russian The State Historical Archive, the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the Central State Historical Archive of St. Petersburg, the State Archive of the Yaroslavl Region, the National Archive of the Republic of Estonia, the Department of Archival Documents of the Russian National Library was able to recreate Berendts' biography in detail. This contribution helped to track the dynamics of the development of state-legal ideas and the rich theoretical heritage of E. N. Behrendts.
Armed Forces and Police of Independent Rhodesia (1965-1979). Part 1: Police
Authors: Gonta Semen Nikolaevich
Published: February 2024

This research is devoted to the study of the functioning of the Rhodesian Security Forces (the general name for the police and army forces of Rhodesia) during the years of its de facto independence from 1965 to 1979. The relevance of the study is due to the absence in domestic historiography of any fundamental research that would be devoted to this issue. The subject of the study is the Rhodesian Security Forces. In this (first) part of the work are considered the activities of the Rhodesian police after its declaration of independence. The author has studied the history of the development of the Rhodesian police from its founding until the official cessation of activity in 1980. Also, the author presents data on the number, racial composition, technical equipment, structure of units and other information about the police forces of Rhodesia. After the declaration of independence, the Rhodesian police faced difficulties, but even in such conditions they managed to maintain combat effectiveness and continue to improve. Based on this article, conclusions can be drawn about the important role played by the Rhodesian police in maintaining law and order in a country that was actually involved in the counter-terrorism struggle throughout its existence. Also, we can conclude that the Rhodesian police were only partly a “racist” structure, since most of the police were of African origin, although there were certain restrictions for them.

Objectives

Arrhythmias are a common complication following cardiac surgery, and can significantly affect patients’ outcomes. In some cases, post-operative arrhythmias may lead to hemodynamic instability, congestive heart failure, or even sudden cardiac death. Various types of cardiac surgery result in varying rates of post-operative arrhythmias, with more complex procedures causing higher rates. Risk factors for post-operative arrhythmias include advanced age, pre-existing cardiovascular disease, electrolyte imbalances, and the type of cardiac surgery. In this study, we aim to determine the incidence and demographic characteristics of patients who underwent cardiac surgery from November 15, 2020, till November 30, 2021, in a tertiary center in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Material and Methods

All adult patients (18 years or older) who were booked for cardiac surgery during the study period were included. Patients with pre-existing documented arrhythmias were excluded from the study. Data was collected from patients’ clinical notes including demographic information (age, sex, and nationality), medical history, comorbidities, type of cardiac surgery, laboratory investigations, and mortality. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data, including frequency distributions, means, and standard deviations. Data was collected from patients’ clinical notes including demographic information (age, sex, and nationality), medical history, comorbidities, type of cardiac surgery, laboratory investigations, length of hospital stay, and mortality. Data was collected from patients’ clinical notes including demographic information (age, sex, and nationality), medical history, comorbidities, type of cardiac surgery, laboratory investigations, length of hospital stay, and mortality.

Results

A total of 161 patients were enrolled in the study with a mean age of 56.75 ± 1.68 years. Among the total enrolled population, 68.32% were male and 31.68% were female. The majority of patients (61.49%) had undergone urgent surgery. Approximately, half (49.07%) of the patients had coronary artery bypass surgery. Premature ventricular complexes (PVC), atrial fibrillation (AF), junctional rhythm, heart block, and atrial flutter were reported in 30.43%, 29.19%, 11.18%, 9.31%, and 8.07% of patient populations respectively. Pleural effusion (50.31%) and bleeding (19.25%) were common post-surgery complications observed among the patients. The mean oxygen saturation (sO2) of the patients on the day of arrhythmia was 95.67 ± 2.05%. Epinephrine/norepinephrine (71.43%) was the most used inotropic agent used after cardiac surgery.

Conclusion

Cardiac surgery is associated with various arrhythmias. The two most common arrhythmias observed in patients after cardiac surgery are premature ventricular contractions and atrial fibrillation.

Data-driven Asian Adapted MQM Typology and Automation in Translation Quality Workflows
Authors: Silva Beatriz , Buchicchio Marianna , Van Stigt Daan , Stewart Craig , Moniz Helena , Lavie Alon
Published: February 2024

In this study we aim to test the impact of applying translation error taxonomies oriented towards European Languages in the annotation of Asian Languages. We aim to demonstrate how an error typology adapted for the latter languages can not only result in more linguistically accurate annotations, but also how this can be applied to automating and scaling translation quality evaluation.

As such, we propose a Translation Errors Typology that aims to cover the shortcomings of the Multidimensional Quality Metrics (Lommel et al. 2014) framework (MQM) in what concerns the annotation of the East Asian Languages of Mandarin, Japanese and Korean. The effectiveness of the typology here proposed was tested by analysing the Inter-annotator agreement (IAA) scores obtained, in contrast with the typology proposed by Ye and Toral (2020) and the Unbabel Error Typology1. Finally, we propose a way of automating Translation Quality Workflows through a Quality Estimation (QE) technology that is able to predict the MQM scores of machine translation outputs at scale with a fair correlation with the human judgement produced by applying the East Asian Languages MQM module proposed in this study.

Published: February 2024

Pontianak City has a low ground elevation and a reasonably high groundwater level. The distribution of clean water from regional companies tends to be less than optimal, and there is high rainwater runoff, causing the channel discharge to increase along with the growth of land converted into residential and business areas. Therefore, houses often use fresh water storage, both raw and rainwater, to meet clean water needs. One type that is often used is concrete culverts. However, concrete culverts have gaps in the joints that have the potential to contaminate storage water. The development of modular wells can be an option that is superior in various aspects to concrete culverts. The results showed that installing polypropylene modular wells costs less than concrete culvert wells. In addition, the use of modular wells also has advantages in terms of ease of installation and maintenance, as well as efficiency in land use. Endurance strength Modular wells can carry a load of up to 24 tons/m2. Thus, the results of this study are expected to provide alternative methods of storing clean water in Pontianak City that are more effective and efficient in terms of cost and quality by considering technical and environmental factors.

The vibrational spectrum of the alanine amino acid was computationally determined in the infrared range of 1000–2000 cm−1, under various environments encompassing the gas, hydrated, and crystalline phases, by means of classical molecular dynamics trajectories carried out with the AMOEBA polarizable force field. An effective mode analysis was performed in which the spectra are optimally decomposed into different absorption bands arising from well-defined internal modes. In the gas phase, this analysis allows to unravel the significant differences between the spectra obtained for the neutral and zwitterionic forms of the amino acid. In condensed phases, the method provides invaluable insight into the molecular origins of the vibrational bands and further shows that peaks with similar positions can be traced to rather different molecular motions.

Computational exploration of chemical space is crucial in modern cheminformatics research for accelerating the discovery of new biologically active compounds. In this study, we present a detailed analysis of the chemical library of potential glucocorticoid receptor (GR) ligands generated by the molecular generator, Molpher. To generate the targeted GR library and to construct the classification models, structures from the ChEMBL database as well as from the internal IMG library, that was experimentally screened for biological activity in the primary luciferase reporter cell assay, were utilized. The composition of the targeted GR ligand library was compared with a reference library that randomly samples chemical space. A random forest model was used to determine the biological activity of ligands, incorporating its applicability domain using conformal prediction. It was demonstrated that the GR library is significantly enriched with GR ligands compared to the random library. Furthermore, prospective analysis demonstrated that Molpher successfully designed compounds which were subsequently experimentally confirmed to be active on the GR. A collection of 34 potential new GR ligands was also identified. Moreover, an important contribution of this study is the establishment of a comprehensive workflow for the evaluation of computationally generated ligands, particularly those with potential activity against targets that are challenging to dock.

Published: February 2024

Inspired by the biosynthesis of the cephalotane natural products, we envisioned that a “single-atom insertion” into the framework of the benzenoid subfamily would provide access to the troponoid congeners — representing the reverse of the proposed biosynthesis (i.e., a “contra-biosynthesis” approach). Computational evaluation of our designed transformation prompted us to investigate a Büchner–Curtius–Schlotterbeck reaction of a p-quinol methylether, which ultimately resulted in the synthesis of harringtonolide in two steps from cephanolide A, which we had previously prepared. Additional computational studies revealed that unconventional selectivity outcomes were driven by the choice of a Lewis acid and the nucleophile, which should inform further developments of these types of reactions.

Exosomes are small membrane with a size of between 30 and 100 nm. They can serve as functional mediators in the interaction of cells leading to metastasis of cancer and due to their wide range function their secretion to the compartments of extracellular media and body fluid. Metastasis is a complicated multi-stage process of invasion of cancer cells blood vessel survival attachment to and colonization of the host organ. The benefits of exosome include help to treat pain and mobility problem because itrsquos inexpensive and noninvasive. One of the main challenges of exosome therapy is the lack of standardization in the purification of exosomes and also difficulties in developing accurate measurements of exosome potency. They are several applications of exosome which include diagnosis of cancers as incase of Diagnostic Exosomes With specific signatures of proteins Alix TSG101 CD9 CD63 HSP70 and HSP90 RNA mRNA and miRNA. This review highlights the role of exosomes in the different types of cancers and how exosome-dependent pathways can be treated in cancers.

Published: February 2024

Purpose: In this article, the published articles of this type of programming (DNP) were reviewed and classified according to the conditions of its use into two types: 1) De Novo programming under certainty, 2) De Novo programming under uncertainty, and the second type has been classified into four types: 1) Interval de novo programming, 2) Fuzzy de novo programming, 3) Type-II Fuzzy de novo programming, 4) Stochastic de novo programming, in addition to that, the articles were classified according to the author’s, years of publication, type of (DNP) model, solution approach, validation and field of application.
 
Theoretical Framework: Most of the methods used in operations research focus on maximizing or optimizing existing available systems, but there are other suggested methods and methodologies that have been applied to design new systems such as De Novo programming, so there is a difference between improving an available system and designing an improved system.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: We analyzed the De novo programming from 2017 to 2023. We identified when, who, where and what was published on the subject.
 
Findings: The results of this study resulted in a number of conclusions, including: that all the proposed models in the improvement of the De Novo programming model seek to design an optimum system by removing trade-offs between goals and redesigning the model. Through the articles reviewed and especially the uncertainty in the model, the researchers used fuzzy programming the most in addressing the uncertainty of FDNP: reaching 31%, either SDNP: 5%, FIDNP: 3% and IDNP: 3%.
 
Research, Practical & Social Implications: We suggest a future research agenda and highlight to the methods that used to solve DNP under certainty and uncertainty.
 
Originality/Value: The results indicate that the number of publications is growing, and the application of de Novo programming in the fields of (agriculture, industry and irrigation) more than the rest of the fields.
