This study investigated the environmental contamination of groundwater as a consequence of the discharge of treated wastewater into the soil. The investigation focused on a wastewater treatment plant located in an area fractured by karst in the Salento peninsula (Apulia, Italy). Water samples were collected at four sites (raw wastewater, treated wastewater, infiltration trench, and monitoring well), monthly from May to December 2019 (with the exception of August), and were tested for (1) panel of bacteria; (2) enteric viruses; and (3) chemical substances. A gradual reduction in the concentration of bacteria, viruses and contaminants of emerging concern was observed across the profile of soil fissured by karst. All monitored bacteria were absent from the monitoring well, except for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Pepper mild mottle virus and adenovirus were detected at all sampling sites. Personal care products and X-ray contrast media showed the greatest decrease in concentration from infiltration trench to the monitoring well, while the highest residual concentrations in the monitoring well were found for anticonvulsants (78.5%), antimicrobials (41.3%), and antipsychotic drugs (38.6%). Our results show that parameters provided by current law may not always be sufficient to evaluate the sanitary risk relating to the discharge of treated wastewater to the soil.

Published: December 2020

Albanian taxa and populations of the genus Odontarrhena are most promising candidates for research on metal tolerance and Ni-agromining, but their genetic structure remains unknown. We investigated phylogenetic relationships and genetic differentiation in relation to distribution and ploidy of the taxa, anthropic site disturbance, elevation, soil type, and trace metals at each population site. After performing DNA sequencing of selected accessions, we applied DNA-fingerprinting to analyze the genetic structure of 32 populations from ultramafic and non-ultramafic outcrops across Albania. Low sequence divergence resulted in poorly resolved phylograms, but supported affinity between the two diploid serpentine endemics O. moravensis and O. rigida. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed significant population differentiation, but no isolation by distance. Among-population variation was higher in polyploids than in diploids, in which genetic distances were lower. Genetic admixing at population and individual level occurred especially in the polyploids O. chalcidica, O. decipiens, and O. smolikana. Admixing increased with site disturbance. Outlier loci were higher in serpentine populations but decreased along altitude with lower drought and heat stress. Genetic variability gained by gene flow and hybridization at contact zones with “resident” species of primary ultramafic habitats promoted expansion of the tetraploid O. chalcidica across anthropogenic sites.
Effects of Elevated Carbon Dioxide and Chronic Warming on Nitrogen (N)-Uptake Rate, -Assimilation, and -Concentration of Wheat
Authors: Jayawardena Dileepa M. , Heckathorn Scott A. , Boldt Jennifer K.
Published: December 2020

The concentration of nitrogen (N) in vegetative tissues is largely dependent on the balance among growth, root N uptake, and N assimilation. Elevated CO2 (eCO2) plus warming is likely to affect the vegetative-tissue N and protein concentration of wheat by altering N metabolism, but this is poorly understood. To investigate this, spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) was grown for three weeks at two levels of CO2 (400 or 700 ppm) and two temperature regimes (26/21 or 31/26 °C, day/night). Plant dry mass, plant %N, protein concentrations, NO3− and NH4+ root uptake rates (using 15NO3 or 15NH4), and whole-plant N- and NO3--assimilation were measured. Plant growth, %N, protein concentration, and root N-uptake rate were each significantly affected only by CO2, while N- and NO3−-assimilation were significantly affected only by temperature. However, plants grown at eCO2 plus warming had the lowest concentrations of N and protein. These results suggest that one strategy breeding programs can implement to minimize the negative effects of eCO2 and warming on wheat tissue N would be to target the maintenance of root N uptake rate at eCO2 and N assimilation at higher growth temperatures.
Design of Entry Detection Method for Top-Bounded Spaces Using GPS SNR and Spatial Characteristics for Seamless Positioning in Logistics Facilities
Authors: Tabata Kenichi , Nakajima Madoka , Kohtake Naohiko
Published: December 2020

With the widespread use of indoor positioning technology, various services based on this technology are beginning to be offered to consumers and industrial applications. In the case of logistics facilities, in addition to indoor and outdoor spaces, there are top-bounded spaces (TBSs): elongated areas that are covered with roofs or eaves on the upper parts of buildings. The sides of such spaces are open, and workers and forklifts work in these areas. Only a few studies have been conducted on positioning methods for this unusual environment, and the way by which Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of Global Positioning System (GPS) changes with the stay in TBSs is unclear. Therefore, we conducted preliminary experiments and confirmed that TBS dwellings are difficult to stably detect with existing methods due to the combination of satellites with variable and unchanged SNRs. In this study, we designed a simple processing flow for selecting satellites with high probabilities of changing SNRs by using the spatial characteristics of TBSs as parameters (height, depth, and side opening orientation). We propose a method to detect the stay in TBSs using the SNR change rates of the selected satellites. As a result of evaluation experiments with three TBSs, we successfully detected the stay in TBSs with about 30% higher probability than those of an existing method.
Magnetic Structure of Inorganic–Organic Hybrid (C6H5CH2CH2NH3)2MnCl4 Using Magnetic Space Group Concept
Authors: Park Garam , Oh In-Hwan , Park J. M. Sungil , Hahn Seungsoo , Park Seong-Hun
Published: December 2020

Previously, we reported that inorganic–organic hybrid (C6H5CH2CH2NH3)2MnCl4 (Mn-PEA) is antiferromagnetic below 44 K by using magnetic susceptibility and neutron diffraction measurements. Generally, when an antiferromagnetic system is investigated by the neutron diffraction method, half-integer forbidden peaks, which indicate an enlargement of the magnetic cell compared to the chemical cell, should be present. However, in the case of the title compound, integer forbidden peaks are observed, suggesting that the size of the magnetic cell is the same as that of the chemical cell. This phenomenon was until now only theoretically predicted. During our former study, using an irreducible representation method, we suggested that four spin arrangements could be possible candidates and a magnetic cell and chemical cell should coincide. Recently, a magnetic structure analysis employing a magnetic space group has been developed. To confirm our former result by the representation method, in this work we employed a magnetic space group concept, and from this analysis, we show that the magnetic cell must coincide with the nuclear cell because only the Black–White 1 group (equi-translation or same translation group) is possible.

The last 2019/20 northern hemisphere influenza season overlapped with the first wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Italy was the first western country where severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread to a significant extent. In this representative cross-sectional survey, we aimed to describe some opinions and attitudes of the Italian general population towards both influenza vaccination and the COVID-19 pandemic, and to identify potential modifiers of the decision-making process regarding the uptake of the 2020/21 influenza vaccine. A total of 2543 responses were analyzed. Although most (74.8%) participants valued influenza vaccination positively and declared that it should be mandatory, some misconceptions around influenza persist. The general practitioner was the main source of trusted information on influenza vaccines, while social networks were judged to be the least reliable. Younger and less affluent individuals, subjects not vaccinated in the previous season, and those living in smaller communities showed lower odds of receiving the 2020/21 season influenza vaccination. However, the COVID-19 pandemic may have positively influenced the propensity of being vaccinated against 2020/21 seasonal influenza. In order to increase influenza vaccination coverage rates multidisciplinary targeted interventions are needed. The role of general practitioners remains crucial in increasing influenza vaccine awareness and acceptance by effective counselling.

Currently, batch release of toxoid vaccines, such as diphtheria and tetanus toxoid, requires animal tests to confirm safety and immunogenicity. Efforts are being made to replace these tests with in vitro assays in a consistency approach. Limitations of current in vitro assays include the need for reference antigens and most are only applicable to drug substance, not to the aluminum adjuvant-containing and often multivalent drug product. To overcome these issues, a new assay was developed based on mimicking the proteolytic degradation processes in antigen-presenting cells with recombinant cathepsin S, followed by absolute quantification of the formed peptides by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Temperature-exposed tetanus toxoids from several manufacturers were used as aberrant samples and could easily be distinguished from the untreated controls by using the newly developed degradomics assay. Consistency of various batches of a single manufacturer could also be determined. Moreover, the assay was shown to be applicable to Al(OH)3 and AlPO4-adsorbed tetanus toxoids. Overall, the assay shows potential for use in both stability studies and as an alternative for in vivo potency studies by showing batch-to-batch consistency of bulk toxoids as well as for aluminum-containing vaccines.
Genetic progress in winter wheat quality and quantity parameters
Authors: Fekete Ágnes , Pepó Péter
Published: December 2020

Wheat production is significant branch of Hungarian crop production (with about 1 million hectares of sowing area). Weather anomalies resulted by climate change have increased the importance of biological basis in wheat production. Yield quality and quantity parameters of three wheat genotypes sown on chernozem soil type after maize pre-crop were studied in a long-term field experiment. Yield amount of the studied genotypes varied between 2894 and 8074 kg ha-1 in 2017 and between 5795 and 9547 kg ha-1 in 2018 depending on the applied treatments. Based on our results it can be stated that in both studied crop years the highest yield increment was realized by the application of the nutrient supply level of N30+PK. As the result of the application of the optimum mineral fertilizer level – in contrast to the control – resulted in significant yield increment in both crop years. The results of the long-term field experiment prove that water utilization of the studied wheat varieties / hybrids was improved by the application of the optimal nutrient supply. Furthermore, the water utilization of the latest genotypes was more favorable by both the control and the optimum nutrient supply level treatments. Analyzing the quality parameters of winter wheat using the NIR method it has been stated that the quality results of the well-known genotype (GK Öthalom) were better than those of the new genotypes. A negative correlation between winter wheat quality and quantity parameters has also been confirmed. As the result of the mineral fertilizer application protein and gluten content of winter wheat increased to a significant extent.

Published: December 2020

This article provides a simulation model of the process of functioning and restoration of a network clock network (CNS), which is distinguished by the completeness of accounting for the states of the process of functioning of the CNS network. The key indicator of the process of functioning of the CNS network is the duration of the control cycle of the CNS network, which is understood as the time from the moment a failure occurs on the CNS network until the moment the mode of transmission of synchronization signals is restored. On the basis of the developed simulation model of the process of functioning and restoration of the CNS network, the duration of the control cycle of the CNS network is estimated depending on the time spent in individual states of the process of functioning of the TSS network and on the characteristics of individual subsystems of the CNS system. The results obtained can serve as a basis for developing sound strategies and plans for managing the CNS network.

Published: December 2020

This study was developed to investigate parents' perceptions and attitudes towards distance learning in response to many schools' closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This research uses a qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of parents of elementary school students in Gunungsitoli City who were determined by purposive sampling technique, totaling twenty-four people. The data were collected using semi-structured interview techniques and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. This study shows that distance learning or learning from home in a research context takes the form of online and offline learning. For parents, the learning approach implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic emergency must be lived and supported in the absence of other options. Although parents do not have negative perceptions, distance learning has increased the burden on parents or families economically, psychologically, and socially. The lack of parental involvement and support in children's learning process at home is generally due to the lack of time and the inability of parents to become teachers for their children at home. Actions to accompany and support the learning process of children at home are carried out to provide internet packages, help children master the material, and participate in completing assignments or tests given by the teacher. The surprising finding from this study is the decline in learning motivation and cognitive abilities of children. Parents hope that distance learning is not extended in the remainder of the 2020/2021 school year so that children can study again at educational institutions.

Published: December 2020

We demonstrate a laser-based displacement measurement using an intensity modulator as a simple and wide-band intensity correlator. The proposed method applies intensity modulation not only to the output probe beam but also to the reflected beam from a target, where the fundamental frequency of modulation signal is the same for both, but the phase of modulation signal for the reflected beam is also modulated. The displacement is measured using harmonic signals from a photodetector. The principle is verified for 40 mm and 16 m ranges of displacement measurement, where the relative measurement uncertainty of

Performing reactive power compensation of three-phase induction motor by using parallel active power filter
Authors: KARAMAN Ömer Ali , GÜNDOĞDU Ahmet , CEBECİ Mehmet
Published: December 2020

Nowadays, the problem of power quality increases day by day. Harmonic current and reactive power are the important factors disturbing the power quality. The induction motors draw both harmonic current and reactive power from the grid. Reactive power and harmonic current lead to heat losses and decrease in the efficiency of the transmission lines. Passive and active filter applications have been used to solve these problems. There are some disadvantages of passive filters. Large physical dimensions and resonance with load can be shown as examples for these disadvantages. Therefore, the application areas of Active Power Filter (APF) are rapidly developing due to the fact that they can be applied together with harmonic and reactive power compensation as appropriate control methods. This paper proposes a MATLAB/Simulink simulation to perform power factor correction and reactive power compensation of three-phase induction motor by using three-phase Parallel Active Power Filter (PAPF). In order to generate PAPF’s reference currents the Sine Multiplication Technique (SMT) is used. Simulation studies are presented to be able to assess the performances under different motor operating conditions. The proposed hysteresis controller based PAPF filter makes the power factor up to 1 and the reactive power compensation of the three-phase induction motor.

Purpose: The economy in the MSME sector is experiencing a great crisis in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. MSME actors must change strategies to adapt to the current pandemic conditions. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Covid 19 on the economy and performance of MSMEs as well as the strategies adopted by MSME players in Bangka Belitung Province. Research methodology: The data collection method employed probability sampling with google form media analyzed by using cross tabulation, trend analysis and simple mathematical modeling in projecting total economic losses to MSMEs that are active in the Bangka Belitung Island Province. Results: The results show that 84.7 percent of MSMEs experienced a negative impact due to the Covid 19 pandemic in the form of a decrease in sales turnover, reduced demand and hampered distribution of raw materials. However, 15.3 percent of MSMEs experienced a positive impact and survived in the Covid 19 pandemic conditions. Some of the strategies implemented by MSMEs to survive in the Covid 19 periods were replacing products sold with products for handling COVID 19 such as masks, hand sanitizers and others. MSME players also changed their sales strategy by selling online and maintaining customer databases. Limitation: Due to the Covid-19 condition, survey activities were carried out by using the Google Form online application. Contribution: MSMEs undertook a more aggressive marketing strategy to maintain turnover value in order to keep growing. Keywords: Covid-19, MSME, Turnover, Competitive strategy

Since Dakshin Dinajpur is a district consisting of a large tribal population was selected for study. According to 2011 census the tribal population was 16.48% and the tribal literacy rate was 57.04%. This study compared the retention and dropout statistics from 2013 to 2018 in two blocks at elementary level in order to find out any difference existed or not. Accordingly a sample of 750 tribal students and their family were surveyed in Gangarampur and Tapan blocks of Dakshin Dinajpur. The socio-economic status of head of the families of tribal students of these two blocks were also compared to find out whether any gap existed at each socio-economic status level.
Analyzing the Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Energy Demand: the Case of Northern Italy
Authors: Scarabaggio Paolo , La Scala Massimo , Carli Raffaele , Dotoli Mariagrazia
Published: December 2020

The COVID-19 crisis is profoundly influencing the global economic framework due to restrictive measures adopted by governments worldwide. Finding real-time data to correctly quantify this impact is very significant but not as straightforward. Nevertheless, an analysis of the power demand profiles provides insight into the overall economic trends. To accurately assess the change in energy consumption patterns, in this work we employ a multi-layer feed-forward neural network that calculates an estimation of the aggregated power demand in the north of Italy, (i.e, in one of the European areas that were most affected by the pandemics) in the absence of the COVID-19 emergency. After assessing the forecasting model reliability, we compare the estimation with the ground truth data to quantify the variation in power consumption. Moreover, we correlate this variation with the change in mobility behaviors during the lockdown period by employing the Google mobility report data. From this unexpected and unprecedented situation, we obtain some intuition regarding the power system macro-structure and its relation with the overall people's mobility.

La soledad andina del Zorro de Arriba y el Zorro de Abajo
Authors: Jodłowska Elżbieta , Mąka Mirosław
Published: December 2020

El papel del zorro en la mitología, el folclore y las creencias de los pueblos andinos es sumamente relevante, pero no ha sido investigado tan detalladamente como el papel de la llama o el cóndor. Éste animal, presente en la cultura en diferentes formas, sigue revelando delante de los investigadores nuevos aspectos de su rica «personalidad» y formas variadas de existencia en la tradición local. Los trabajos que abarcan la arqueología, la folclorística y la etnología no dejan de complementar la imagen del zorro, demostrando lo excepcional y lo distinto que es en comparación con otros animales. La mitología andina del zorro constituye una creación sincrética, compuesta de las creencias nativas y los elementos del folclore ibérico (y en algunos casos también europeo). La percepción de este animal en algunos aspectos comparte su imagen universal de otras partes, no obstante posee al mismo tiempo rasgos individuales muy evidentes que lo unen desde hace miles de años con la cultura andina. Una de las manifestaciones más destacadas tanto literarias como etnológicas sobre la figura del zorro en la tradición peruana es, sin duda, la novela de José María Arguedas «El Zorro de Arriba y el Zorro de Abajo». El autor, basándose en su conocimiento y la sensibilidad indígena, enriquecidas por su experiencia de etnólogo, ha creado la obra que designa al zorro para el papel del símbolo cultural de Perú, cuya labor consiste en vincular horizontes históricos de este país con la realidad contemporánea. El presente ensayo es un intento de la compleja descripción del papel del zorro en la tradición peruana, destacando sus distintos aspectos, comunes para la visión andina del mundo. El objetivo principal es demostrar las conexiones estructurales entre la variedad de formas culturales de la existencia del zorro en el territorio de los Andes. Al mismo tiempo es una muestra de homenaje que los autores rinden al pensamiento inspirador de Arguedas.
El Ritual formulario de Juan Pérez Bocanegra y las relaciones entre géneros en los Andes
Authors: Haimovich Gregory
Published: December 2020

El Ritual formulario e institución de curas (1631) del fray Juan Pérez Bocanegra, además de ser una obra inmensa de carácter eclesiástico, tiene gran importancia lingüística y etnohistórica: está compuesto simultáneamente en español y quechua y su contenido abarca muchos aspectos de la vida cultural andina en la época colonial temprana.
