Inferring the Magnetic Field from the Rayleigh–Taylor Instability
Authors: Gréa Benoît-Joseph , Briard Antoine
Published: November 2023

By extending the potential approach of Layzer and Goncharov to the magnetohydrodynamics equations, we find the nonlinear solutions to the single-mode Rayleigh–Taylor instability subjected to uniform magnetic fields at various inclinations. This allows us to derive the analytical prediction of the terminal bubble and spike velocities at arbitrary Atwood numbers, which are assessed against various 2D and 3D direct numerical simulations. Contrary to the linear phase, where the magnetic field inhibits or delays the instability, the growth rate may be enhanced in the nonlinear regime, exhibiting velocities faster than the Alfvén speed. This sheds light on the importance of the nondimensional number expressing the competition between the magnetic and buoyancy effects. Conversely, we show how the orientation and the intensity of the magnetic field can be simply inferred from these solutions.

With the exponential increase in scientific publications, new conceptual and technological tools are needed to help scientists, students, managers and policy-makers to navigate and digest current scientific knowledge. Hi Knowledge is an initiative to synthesise and visualise scientific knowledge, with an initial focus on invasion biology that is currently expanding to include urban ecology, restoration ecology and freshwater ecology. In a workshop on 5-6 June 2023 in Berlin, Germany, we discussed and tested a collection of new open tools related to this initiative in order to publish, curate, explore and synthesise concepts and results in ecology. Three main themes were discussed during in-person breakout group sessions: (1) building and using open tools for knowledge curation, exploration and synthesis; (2) making open knowledge searchable and machine friendly by improving modelling and annotation of scientific knowledge; and (3) extending beyond the field of invasion biology. We report on the discussions of all twelve sessions pertaining to these themes. A main underlying goal of our workshop was to build a community of scientists involved in openly co-designing and using these tools. Overall, the participants were enthusiastic about the usefulness of these tools and discussions gravitated around improving them and finding strategies to scale-up participation by the community. Follow-up user tests and publications are planned for individual tools and topics.

Authors: Romero Jr. Aldemaro , Moseley Max
Published: November 2023

Carl Leavitt Hubbs (1894–1979) was a prominent and internationally renowned American ichthyologist whose publications include taxonomic descriptions of several North American blindfishes including the Mexican Cave Characin. His archived personal papers reveal a wide-ranging interest in the biology and evolutionary origins of cave and blindfishes, and his discussions and disputes with colleagues about their taxonomy. He also took opportunities to collect other fauna from American caves during the inter-war decades. Drawing upon his unpublished archive and other relevant sources his biospeleological work is chronicled in detail and discussed in the context of his other work.

La précarité et la pauvreté, c’est aussi du travail
Authors: Roux Nicolas
Published: November 2023

Si le CDI demeure la forme de contrat de travail majoritaire, la précarité du travail n’a cessé de progresser ces dernières décennies. Cette tendance favorise la critique de l’assurance chômage ou des minima sociaux au nom du refus supposé de leurs bénéficiaires de travailler. Face à ces critiques, le sociologue Nicolas Roux souligne que la précarisation de l’emploi a augmenté le travail hors emploi, qu’il s’agisse de la lourdeur des démarches administratives pour l’obtention des droits – dont le taux de non-recours demeure important –, ou de la gestion de la continuité de l’emploi entre plusieurs contrats courts.
Changer de monde en améliorant nos concepts
Authors: Anne-Braun Alexis
Published: November 2023

À une métaphysique fermée prétendant découvrir ou identifier des essences fixes et chercher une formule de la nature qui n’aurait pas d’histoire, Goodman oppose une métaphysique ouverte. Les gens font les mondes dans lesquels ils interagissent et habitent et ils les font en utilisant des outils représentationnels. Si l’abandon du point de vue du spectateur suppose que nous œuvrons, en tant que locuteurs et producteurs d’outils symboliques, à la forme du monde que nous habitons, et si l’amélioration de ces outils est à notre portée, il s’agit d’imaginer des améliorations qui conduisent à des transformations efficaces, à la fois cognitivement et politiquement. Cet article entraîne la théorie goodmanienne du worldmaking du côté de l’ingénierie conceptuelle. En dernière analyse, il entreprend de montrer ce que l’ingénierie conceptuelle aurait à gagner à redéployer la théorie goodmanienne de la projectibilité (degrés de projectibilité, implantation, projectibilité héritée).

Éradiquer sans prohiber ? Évolutions internationales des politiques publiques de contrôle du tabac au xxi e siècle
Authors: Taiclet Anne-France
Published: November 2023

Cet article propose une synthèse analytique des tendances ­internationales observables dans les politiques publiques de régulation du tabac dans ce premier quart du xxi e siècle. Il revient d’abord sur la densification du répertoire d’actions publiques et l’affirmation d’une stratégie consistant à encercler le tabac (désigné comme un ennemi) et à l’attaquer par le biais de différentes tactiques matérielles et symboliques. La régulation du tabac est un processus en mouvement permanent, du fait de l’intensité des échanges de coups entre protagonistes : ces interactions agonistiques se traduisent dans des luttes de cadrage qui entraînent une diversification des qualifications du tabac, comme problème sanitaire mais aussi environnemental et social. Enfin, l’article montre comment, à l’issue de ce quart de siècle de mobilisations diverses, s’esquisse la formulation progressive d’un changement de paradigme, où l’objectif de l’action publique ne serait plus seulement le contrôle du tabac mais sa disparition comme bien courant.

Application of Long-Term Poverty Alleviation Mechanism in Chengde From the Perspective of Big Data Based on Computational Neural Model Fuzzy Algorithm
Authors: Zhu Yanjie , Fu Chunzheng
Published: November 2023

In order to consolidate the poverty alleviation achievements of impoverished counties, villages, and households, it is necessary to establish and improve stable poverty alleviation mechanisms. This article takes the Chengde region as the research object, and based on a large number of domestic and foreign poverty alleviation literature, combined with relevant poverty alleviation theories, uses fuzzy algorithms under big data to study and analyze the long-term mechanism of poverty alleviation and return prevention in the Chengde region. A multi classifier model with limited fuzzy rules is proposed to address the issues of low efficiency and long modeling time in existing fuzzy rule classification algorithms. When minimizing the cost function during model training, the cost function is fuzzy, thereby improving efficiency. The results indicate that the long-term poverty alleviation mechanism in Chengde from the perspective of fuzzy algorithm big data has profound strategic and theoretical significance for poverty alleviation.

Authors: Tavares Lúcia Helena Sipaúba , Nicolau Mayara Cristina Malvas , Tedesque Mayara Galatti , Gratão Priscila Lupina
Published: November 2023

The antioxidant enzymes activities during the Messastrum gracile growth period under two different light intensities were evaluated. The light intensities were designated as: control at 60 µmol photons m-2 s-1 and two cultivations under light-induced stress at 120 µmol photons m-2 s-1, during 24 and 72 hours. The maximum cell density in all treatments was achieved on the 21st growth day with 140x105 cells mL-1 (control), 382x105 cells mL-1 (24 hours) and 236x105 cells mL-1 (72 hours). The antioxidant enzymes activities were more elevated in the control, however, GSH-Px, CAT and SOD activities were higher on the 7th growth day, while GPOX and GR activities were higher on the 28th and 21st growth day, respectively. The microalgae displayed lower MDA content, which indicates low stress levels. In terms of growth, biomass production and chlorophyll-a, the best results occurred under light-induced stress (120 µmol photons m-2 s-1). Light-induced stress decreased antioxidant activity during M. gracile growth, and the results revealed a higher activity for glutathione peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase.
The plant community of a stretch of riparian vegetation in the upper Paraná River after 20 years of secondary succession (Batayporã, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil)

Published: November 2023

The study of temporal changes in riparian vegetation is essential for understanding the paths taken by the ecosystem during ecological succession. In order to evaluate the changes in floristic composition, structure, and dynamics of the arboreal vegetation in an area of Semideciduous Seasonal Alluvial Forest, we aim to understand the secondary succession that occurs in the Paraná River floodplain. Based on a study conducted 20 years ago, in the municipality of Batayporã, Mato Grosso do Sul, a re-sampling was carried out in the same area, using the same methodology. Phytosociological and ecological parameters between the two temporal samplings were collected and compared using Student's ‘t’ test, where it was possible to find statistically significant variations (p<0.05) in the vegetation structure. A total of 603 individuals were sampled, distributed among 51 species and grouped in 46 genera and 31 families. The analysis of the distribution of abundance and importance values (IV) of species visualized in the histogram indicated an expected pattern in forest communities, which is the substitution of early successional species for late successional species. For the successional categories, the comparison of IVs revealed higher values for secondary species in both surveys and changes in the positions of climax and pioneer species, directly influencing the IVs values of these categories for the zones. When compared to the result obtained in the previous study, a replacement of the IV values of pioneer species with climax and dead species is noted. The comparisons showed that this phytocoenosis is evolving to a mature successional stage, a result of the decrease in the main anthropic impacts in the area. The results obtained highlight the importance of temporal monitoring of forest areas to expand the understanding of the pathways of ecological succession in this type of environment and provide information to assist in biodiversity conservation.
Food insecurity increases risk of depression and anxiety among women in Senegal living with diabetes and/or hypertension

Published: November 2023

Food insecurity affects close to half the population of Senegal, West Africa, a country simultaneously affected by the ongoing global diabetes pandemic. Diabetes and food insecurity are associated with adverse mental health, yet research exploring the relationship between chronic physical illness, food insecurity, and mental illness in Senegal is currently lacking. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between food insecurity and depression and anxiety, separately, in Senegalese women living with diabetes and hypertension. Food insecurity was measured using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale. Occurrence of depression and anxiety symptoms was assessed using the Modified Hopkins Symptoms Checklist Survey (HSCL‑25). A sensitivity analysis examining the relationship between food insecurity and depression and anxiety was performed by comparing two previously validated cutoff values (1.75 and 2.25) on the HSCL‑25. Most participants (83%) had some level of food insecurity. More than 80% of the sample were depressed or anxious using 1.75 as the cutoff, while 42 and 60% were depressed or anxious, respectively, using 2.25 as the cutoff. Food insecurity increased relative risk for depression (RRR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.05‑1.31, 1.75 as cutoff; RRR: 1.06, 95% CI: 0.99‑1.14, 2.25 as cutoff) and anxiety (RRR: 1.17, 95% CI: 1.05‑1.31, 1.75 as cutoff; RRR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.04‑1.19, 2.25 as cutoff). These findings demonstrate that among populations suffering from diabetes and hypertension, food insecurity is a modifiable risk factor for depression and anxiety and a potential intervention target in this setting.
Effects of clove essential oil on eggshell bacterial load, antibacterial sensitivity, and hatchability
Authors: Hassan Abdallah S. I. , Morsy Eman A. , El. Moustafa Kout-Elkloub M. , Ibrahim Faten A. , Elmenawey Mohamed A.
Published: November 2023

Background and objective

Clove essential oil’s (CEO) physical and chemical properties allow for its potent antibacterial action. This study sought to determine the impact of various CEO disinfectant concentrations on the eggshell bacterial load, embryonic mortality, hatchability, and chick quality.

Materials and methods

A total of 1500 fertile chicken eggs were randomly divided into five treatment groups. Group one was sprayed with a commercial disinfectant (BioSentry 904), the second group was sprayed with ethyl alcohol 70%, and the last three groups were sprayed with 0.5, 1, or 2% of CEO. After spraying, eggs in each group were used for the determination of total bacterial load on the eggshell, hatchability, embryonic mortality, and chick quality.

Results and conclusion

Results showed that the bacterial load on the eggshell declined with the increase in the concentration of CEO. The use of CEO at 1, 2%, or BioSentry 904 resulted in the lowest bacterial load. However, hatchability of set and fertile eggs for the group treated with CEO at 0.5% was numerically greater than other groups, while chick quality grade (A) was numerically greater by CEO at 1% concentration. The chick yield of the egg group treated with CEO at 1% was significantly higher than in the control group. Embryonic mortalities for all groups were statistically similar. In conclusion, using CEO at different concentrations 1, 2%, or BioSentry 904 in disinfecting broiler breeder eggs can effectively reduce the bacterial load on eggshells. In addition, using CEO improved chick quality and chick yield without any adverse effect on hatchability. Consequently, it is considered a strong competitor to BioSentry 904 and a less hazardous disinfectant for hatching egg disinfection on a commercial scale.
A Study on Assessment and Correlations between Eating Attitudes, Body Image Perception and Self-esteem in Medical Students of Mumbai
Authors: Shah Priyanshi Vikas , Somaiya Mansi P. , Subramanyam Alka Anand
Published: November 2023

Introduction:

Adolescents and young adults place significant value to appearance. Medical students are likely to be vulnerable to dissatisfaction with appearance and maladaptive eating attitudes.

Aims and Objectives:

This study was designed to study the eating attitudes, body image perception, and self-esteem in MBBS students and their correlations with each other and with body mass index (BMI), to identify students at risk and possibly plan measures for intervention.

Methodology:

A study was conducted on 700 medical students (including interns), with electronic questionnaires assessing sociodemographic data, eating attitudes, body image perception, and self-esteem. Using the Chi-square tests and t-tests, the parameters were studied and correlations using Spearman’s rank correlation were established.

Results:

Students with a higher BMI were at a greater risk of eating disorder (ED), higher concerns with body perception, and lowered self-esteem. Those with a higher risk of ED were associated with body dissatisfaction and lower self-esteem. Body image distortions were associated with low self-esteem.

Conclusions:

ED risk is associated with body dissatisfaction and lower self-esteem in medical students. Future studies are required to establish this relation.

Authors: Mishra Siddharth , Murthy Pranav , Ahuja Dhruv , Thomas Manuel S. , Natarajan Srikant , Pai Umesh
Published: November 2023

Background:

Understanding the optical characteristics, especially the translucency patterns (TPs) in teeth can assist clinicians in creating biomimetic restorations.

Aim:

This study assessed the differences in enamel TPs and the area of translucency (AOT) in the most dominant teeth of an individual’s smile according to their age and gender.

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study was conducted on 140 consented individuals. Based on the age, there were four groups with 35 subjects in each. The digital imaging method is used to classify and differentiate different TPs. The AOT was measured with the assistance of ImageJ 1.51j8 software.

Statistical Analysis Used:

One-way ANOVA with a post hoc test was used to test the statistical significance difference among the various age groups, and an independent t-test was used to test the variations between genders.

Results:

The outcome of this study showed that the AOT was the highest for the 50 and above age group as compared to other age groups (P = 0.003). Although there were variations in the TPs between the two genders, the AOT showed no significant difference.

Conclusion:

The area of incisal third translucency in the upper central incisors varied between different age groups. However, gender had no influence in the area of incisal translucency. Wide variations in the TPs were seen based on age and gender.
The prevalence of COVID-19 infection among gynecologic oncology patients receiving cancer treatment in a COVID-19 referral hospital
Authors: Medalla Renee Riza Cartago , Luna Jericho Thaddeus P.
Published: November 2023

INTRODUCTION:

Cancer patients are more susceptible to coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) infection because they are immunosuppressed by their disease or therapy, most of them have coexisting medical conditions, and they frequently visit hospitals for treatment and surveillance.

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of COVID-19 infection among gynecologic oncology patients receiving treatment in a COVID-19 referral hospital.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A descriptive, cross-sectional study involving 47 gynecologic cancer patients receiving treatment from June 2020 to December 2020 was performed. All patients underwent SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) swab test and symptom and exposure assessment before the start of cancer treatment. Patients with negative SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR swab test results received their planned treatment, and a repeat swab test and triage assessment were done midtreatment and after treatment.

RESULTS:

Five (10.6%) patients had positive baseline SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR swab results, but all proceeded with treatment after negative results were obtained. Only 1 (2.13%) patient had a positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR swab test result at midtreatment. All patients had no COVID-19-associated symptoms and none of them tested positive for COVID-19 infection posttreatment.

CONCLUSION:

The prevalence of COVID-19 infection among gynecologic cancer patients receiving cancer treatment is 2.13%. All patients who had positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR swab test results at baseline or midtreatment were able to continue and complete treatment. There were no severe clinical events or mortalities among those affected with COVID-19 infection.

Authors: Bhardwaj Arshia , Singh Arshdeep , Midha Vandana , Sood Ajit , Wander Gurpreet Singh , Mohan Bishav , Batta Akash
Published: November 2023

Emerging data highlights the heightened risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) in patients with chronic inflammatory disorders, particularly those afflicted with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This review delves into the epidemiological connections between IBD and ASCVD, elucidating potential underlying mechanisms. Furthermore, it discusses the impact of current IBD treatments on cardiovascular risk. Additionally, the cardiovascular adverse effects of novel small molecule drugs used in moderate-to-severe IBD are investigated, drawing parallels with observations in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This article aims to comprehensively evaluate the existing evidence supporting these associations.

To achieve this, we conducted a meticulous search of PubMed, spanning from inception to August 2023, using a carefully selected set of keywords. The search encompassed topics related to IBD, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as ASCVD, including coronary artery disease, cardiovascular disease, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, conduction abnormalities, heart blocks, and premature coronary artery disease. This review encompasses various types of literature, including retrospective and prospective cohort studies, clinical trials, meta-analyses, and relevant guidelines, with the objective of providing a comprehensive overview of this critical intersection of inflammatory bowel disease and cardiovascular health.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy secondary to deficiency in lysosome-associated membrane protein-2: A case report
Authors: Zhao Ye-Tong , Cao Xiu-Qun , Mu Xiao-Lin
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Danon disease (DD), in which mutations in the X-linked lysosome-associated membrane protein-2 (LAMP-2) gene result in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, is a rare disease, reported primarily in small samples or cases. However, with the development of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and genetic technology in recent years, the number of reports has increased.

CASE SUMMARY

We report a case of DD in an adolescent male patient, confirmed by genetic testing. The patient was admitted to our hospital with complaints of a three-year history of chest tightness and shortness of breath. His preliminary clinical diagnosis is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Our report includes the patient’s clinical course from hospital admission to death, step-by-step diagnosis, treatment course, and noninvasive imaging features. We highlight how a noninvasive diagnostic approach, based solely on clinical and imaging “red flags” for DD, can be used to achieve a diagnosis of DD with a high degree of confidence.

CONCLUSION

DD is a very dangerous cardiomyopathy, and it is necessary to achieve early diagnosis and treatment.
Down syndrome child with multiple heart diseases: A case report
Authors: Kong Mo-Wei , Li Yi-Jing , Li Jun , Pei Zhen-Ying , Xie Yu-Yu , He Guo-Xiang
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21 syndrome, is commonly associated with congenital heart disease, and can often result in early formation of pulmonary hypertension. The development of pulmonary hypertension can result from factors such as intracardiac and macrovascular shunts, and upper airway obstruction or hypoplasia of lung tissue. Individuals with Down syndrome and congenital heart disease have a significantly lower average life expectancy, with surgical intervention being the most viable treatment option to improve longevity.

CASE SUMMARY

We report the case of a 13-year-old boy with Down syndrome presenting with atrial septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus along with severe pulmonary hypertension. The electrocardiogram shows sinus rhythm and right ventricular hypertrophy. The echocardiogram shows an atrial septal defect with interrupted echo in the interatrial septum, measuring 0.813 cm in length. The patient was initially refused to be offered surgical treatment by many hospitals due to the high surgical risk and pulmonary artery resistance. After discussing the patient’s diagnosis and treatment options, we ultimately recommended surgical treatment. However, the patient and their family declined this recommendation and chose to be discharged. During the follow-up period of 6 mo, there were no significant improvements or deteriorations in the patient’s condition.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, this case highlights the challenges faced by individuals with Down syndrome and congenital heart disease complicated by severe pulmonary hypertension. Timely intervention and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial for improving prognosis and life expectancy. Further research is needed to enhance our understanding and develop effective interventions for this population.

Tivemos por objetivo construir reflexões sobre a necessidade de currículos de ciências comprometidos com a defesa da verdade, considerando o debate atual no campo entre perspectivas de combate ao negacionismo científico e perspectivas de valorização das diversidades. Apresentamos as recentes reformas curriculares neoliberais e a precarização do trabalho docente como inimigas dessas duas perspectivas. Seguidamente, abordamos duas propostas didáticas implementadas com alunas(os) do ensino fundamental discutindo o papel da mulher na história da ciência e a construção de ferramentas para a identificação de fake news. Partindo da análise das respostas construídas pelas(os) alunas(os) durante o desenvolvimento das propostas, sustentamos que a defesa pela verdade é indispensável para um ensino de ciências para a justiça social e contra o negacionismo científico
Divulgação científica como currículo, um currículo para divulgação?
Authors: Santos Bianca Tamires Silva dos , Chaves Silvia Nogueira
Published: November 2023

Este ensaio problematiza como o conceito de divulgação científica foi historicamente relacionado à educação científica e como isso instituiu um currículo para educação em ciências. Neste currículo a ciência é tomada como elemento balizador da vida e a divulgação como comunicação de resultados. Mas quando o inesperado e inédito atinge a ciência e não há respostas imediatas, a divulgação perde o sentido ou seu sentido é mais abundante? Percorremos essas questões para considerar a possibilidade de abrir brechas nos currículos saturados de verdades, imbricando-se em outros códigos que foram abandonados nas linhas duras das composições curriculares: como o sonho, a fantasia... Talvez aí a divulgação científica possa funcionar como mediadora entre esses mundos, fabricando novas conexões entre sociedade- ciência-ensino.

O presente trabalho, oriundo do Programa de Residência Pedagógica (PRP), propõe discutir a experiência de abordar o tema, no Ensino Fundamental, durante a pandemia. Os dados foram construídos sintetizando manifestações e produções discentes, registradas em diário de bordo, posteriormente analisadas e discutidas. Nesse caminho observamos a reprodução de certos discursos, a sinalização da superação de outros, permitindo-nos defender a possibilidade de tornar aulas de ciências um espaço de questionamento, reflexão e ressignificação de normatizações socialmente estabelecidas; logo, o professor atua como agente inquietador dos olhares discentes, apresentando-lhes o mundo sob outras/novas lentes.

Stereotyp "The ugly German": a negative national stereotype
Authors: FRANKENFELD Christian
Published: November 2023

Despite the doubtfulness of national stereotypes, such views commonly become a subject of discussion in foreign language classes. The cliché of the typical‘ German is an ambivalent one, consisting of the perception of excessive diligence, punctuality, and economic strength, but combined with a militaristic, presumptuous, and narrow-minded mentality. These latter characteristics create a stereotype widely known as The ugly German‘, a term intrinsically tied to the history of the German Empire and National Socialism. In the following paper, the history of The Ugly German‘ will be illustrated by using examples from German literature, films, TV series and contemporary hip-hop music. The special characteristics of negative German stereotypes in Switzerland and Austria will also be discussed. Prospects for the handling of stereotypical national clichés in German foreign language classes will be debated and further developed.

Целью настоящего исследования являлась оценка экологического состояния водоема карьерного происхождения по результатам комплексных наблюдений в период повышенной рекреационной нагрузки. В ходе полевых выездов было отобрано 33 пробы воды на трех береговых станциях пруда Шенфлиз. По результатам проведенных гидрохимических, микробиологических и альгологических анализов сделаны выводы об экологическом состоянии исследованного водоема. По гидрохимическим показателям обнаружено несоответствие содержания кислорода нормативным значениям с выраженным различием между станциями. Биогенных элементов в воде растворено немного, в границах соответствующих рыбохозяйственных предельно-допустимых концентраций (ПДК). По санитарно-микробиологическим анали-зам обсемененность воды была низкой. Состав микрофлоры воды пруда Шен-флиз на протяжении всего периода наблюдения формировался за счет аэроб-ных и факультативно-анаэробных палочковидных (62 %) и кокковых бактерий (38 %). Наибольшее число видов бактерий отмечали в летний и осенний сезоны года. Основу комплекса альгофлоры пруда составляли 75 видов и таксонов до рода. Средняя численность фитопланктона за время наблюдения варьировала в пределах 0,3–3,7 млн кл./л, биомасса – в пределах 0,5–4 мг/л. Пик развития водорослей наблюдали в сентябре. Согласно результатам проведенных комплексных исследований воды пруда Шенфлиз относятся к категории чистых. Результаты проведенного гидрохимического мониторинга по большинству параметров совпадают с установленными диапазонами значений для мезотрофных водоемов (по классу сапробности – олигосапробные воды). Полученные результаты позволяют предположить, что рекреационная нагрузка даже в условиях отсутствия проточности не является определяющим фактором в изменении экологического состояния пруда в летний период.

Traditional cloth is one of the cultural products. Normally, it is worn by people for a certain traditional event. However, it is worn by the waitress in a restaurant, namely the House of Raminten restaurant. Therefore, this research aims to reveal the intent and purpose behind the use of traditional clothes as work clothes for waitresses at the House of Raminten Restaurant. Qualitative approach is employed as a research methodology in this research. The result shows that there is a symbolic meaning of Javanese culture represented by such a use of traditional clothes, namely glorifying guests or consumers. In another word, the use of kemben and jarik is a way for Raminten Restaurant to glorify their consumers. This is then being seen as a strategy for creating profit for the restaurant since it can represent the concern of the restaurant in preserving Javanese culture. The restaurant owner always does such a way to bring in customers since he has a sensitivity to market demand, even though he himself is actually of Chinese descent.
