This study investigates the impact of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 on health outcomes and hospital contacts in children and adolescents aged 5–18 years infected with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, comparing previously vaccinated with unvaccinated. Using national register data, vaccinated and unvaccinated Danish children and adolescents with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test between 1 January and 31 March 2022 (Omicron dominance period) were included. The Prior Event Rate Ratio (PERR) was used to explore differences in hospital contacts (hospitalizations and emergency room (ER) visits), while Inverse Treatment Probability Weighted (IPW) risk ratios were used to explore the risk of severe health outcomes within six weeks following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Vaccinated 5–11-year-old girls had fewer visits to the ER compared to unvaccinated ones, PERR 0.92 (95% CI 0.84–1.00). Vaccinated 5–11-year-old boys had fewer hospitalizations (PERR 0.79 (0.64–0.99)) and more ER visits (PERR 1.13 (1.04–1.22)) compared to unvaccinated ones. An unadjusted and significant lower risk of febrile seizure among vaccinated 5–11-year-olds compared to unvaccinated ones was found (risk ratio 0.12 (0.04–0.39), p ≤ 0.01. No significant differences were found for severe conditions or for croup or pneumonia in either age group. The results indicate a modest protective effect of the vaccine in terms of hospital contacts, but no protective effect on health outcomes after SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection in this population of Danish children and adolescents.

African catfish is a promising object of industrial fish farming with an urgent problem of in vivo sperm obtaining, which greatly limits the possibility of breeding this species. One of the widely used methods of obtaining sperm is hormonal stimulation of males followed by post-mortem extraction of the testes. Modern science also has surgical methods for intravital sperm collection from African catfish males with preliminary stimulation with hormonal drugs. However, the need for hormonal stimulation in Clarias gariepinus males is closely associated with the risk of developing postoperative complications, in particular in the form of hormonal shock, which can lead to the death. The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of various hormonal spawning stimulants when used in the preparatory period of intravital surgical collection of sperm products from African sharptooth catfish, including the use of a new drug for fish farming, Fertagil (gonadorelin decapeptide), in comparison with the previously used Surfagon. It has been shown that the use of Fertagil at a dose of 100 μg/kg once intramuscularly 16 hours before surgery allows you to get good quality sperm with a high concentration (115.17±3.86×106 ml–1) and a significantly higher the period of motility after activation compared with the drug Surfagon, as well as with a moderate number (65.00±1.88%) of viable sperm. After using Fertagil, the risk of developing hormonal shock in the postoperative period is reduced compared to the currently widely used drug Surfagon.
Status of Senior Media Literacy in the Slovak Republic
Authors: Prostináková Hossová Monika
Published: November 2023

According to the last population census in Slovakia (in 2021), senior citizens, or people over 65 years of age make up 17% of the total population of Slovakia. Despite this, we cannot consider seniors, or those of the age of 65 and older inactive or completely unproductive, considering that this is not only a consequence of the aging of the population, but to a large extent the growth of the average life expectancy of people in our society. Many seniors, or people in the post-productive age in this period of life still or occasionally work, maintain contact with family and acquaintances or even actively participate in civic life. In this regard, we therefore consider it important to pay attention to the level of media literacy of seniors who, more or less, use media and digital technologies in their lives and are thus exposed to their positive and negative effects. Although education in the field of media education mainly focuses on children and youth, it is necessary to realise that our society is created, shaped and decided by adults of productive and post-productive age. The goal of our study is therefore to map the current state of media literacy of Slovak seniors in the area of their user skills and communication skills related to the use of media and digital technologies, and their ability to critically understand. We therefore monitor the state of knowledge about the media and a critical view of them, the ability to critically analyse media content and the practical skills of seniors in relation to the media. The presented study reflects the results of quantitative research carried out on a representative sample of Slovak seniors using the questionnaire method. The result of the study is the relevant conclusions resulting from the empirical investigation and a summary of proposed recommendations for improving the current situation.

Abstrak: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi fakta keragaman sosial yang dialami orang Kristen (Gereja), yang secara dinamis menunjukkan sikap dan tanggapan yang berbeda-beda. Artikel penelitian ini mengeksplorasi pentingnya misi Kristen menghidupkan dialog antaragama dalam konteks kehidupan kemanusiaan sehari-hari, baik dalam hal kerjasama fundamental maupun penyelesaian masalah sosial. Pendekatan teoritik yang digunakan adalah konstruksi keberagaman agama dalam masyarakat yang semakin majemuk, serta pemahaman tentang nilai-nilai sosial dan kultural sebagai dasar interaksi manusia. Penelitian ini menyoroti perlunya merekonstruksi pemahaman Gereja terhadap pluralitas agama dengan merujuk pada panduan Alkitab yang mengakui keberadaan orang beragama lain dan pemahaman tentang karya penyelamatan Allah yang melibatkan banyak tradisi dan cara. Namun, masih terdapat tantangan dalam sikap dan pemahaman orang Kristen terhadap agama-agama lain, seperti sikap eksklusif, superior, dan pemahaman transaksional legalistik yang menghambat dialog yang produktif. Selain itu, masalah toleransi, keadilan, migrasi, globalisasi, dan keberlanjutan pembangunan juga menjadi perhatian dalam konteks misi Kristen. Hasil penelitian ini berkontribusi dalam menggambarkan kompleksitas dan tantangan yang dihadapi dalam konteks misi Kristen saat ini, serta memberikan landasan bagi pengembangan pendekatan dan praktik yang lebih inklusif, berkelanjutan, dan responsif terhadap dinamika sosial dan lingkungan.

Authors: Julianto Patria
Published: November 2023

Pada sistem distribusi tenaga listrik, bentuk yang paling umum digunakan adalah radial. Jaringan distribusi dengan bentuk radial menghasilkann rugi-rugi daya dan rugi-rugi tegangan yang lebih besar dibandingkan dengan jaringan distribusi bentuk lain. Untuk mereduksi rugi-rugi daya dan meningkatkan profil tegangan, salah satu metode yang umum digunakan adalah rekonfigurasi jaringan. Permasalahan utama pada rekonfigurasi jaringan sistem distribusi radial adalah menentukan konfigurasi yang tepat agar sistem distribusi mempunyai rugi-rugi yang paling kecil tetapi konfigurasi jaringan distribusi tetap dalam keadaan radial. Pada penelitian ini, metode algoritma genetika adaptif (AGA) digunakan untuk mendapatkan konfigurasi jaringan distribusi yang optimal. Dengan metode AGA, performa pencarian ditingkatkan dengan membuat proses probabilitas crossover dan mutasi menjadi adaptif untuk mencegah terjadinya konvergensi prematur. Simulasi untuk penelitian ini telah berhasil dicoba pada sistem distribusi 69-bus dengan hasil sebelum rekonfigurasi jaringan, rugi-rugi daya sebesar 225,0167 kW dan setelah dilakukan rekonfigurasi jaringan, rugi-rugi daya menjadi 100,1742 kW. Terdapat reduksi rugi-rugi daya sebesar 124,8425 kW (55,48%). Sedangkan untuk tegangan dan faktor daya terjadi kenaikan yang cukup signifikan setelah dilakukan rekonfigurasi jaringan.

Kualitas hidup masyarakat di wilayah perbatasan masih menjadi perhatian serius, khususnya pada perempuan dan anak di Kalimantan Utara wilayah perbatasan. Hal ini disebabkan masih terjadinya ketimpangan kekerasan berbasis gender. Jika kita merujuk kepada prioritas nasional RPJMN (2020-2024), bahwa salah satu point prioritas yakni meningkatkan SDM berkualitas dan berdaya saing di desa melalui pengarusutamaan gender. Desa ini cukup unik karena berbatas langsung dengan Tawau malaisya. Jika melihat data jumlah perempuan dan laki-laki di desa Sungai nyamuk tidak jauh berbeda perempuan (2.568 jiwa) dan laki-laki (2.449 jiwa), namun potensi yang besar pada jumlah perempuan tidak berbanding lurus terhadap akses kesempatan terhadap perempuan. Di lingkungan pemerintah desa hanya terdapat 2 perempuan sebagai perangkat pemerintah desa dan BPD. Pada aspek pekerjaan sebanyak 1.107 perempuan mengurus rumah tangga, 659 tidak memiliki pekerjaan. Hal ini disebabkan karena masih kentalnya budaya patriarki dan sub ordinasi. Dampaknya menyebabkan kasus perkawinan sebanyak 13 kasus di Desa Sungai Nyamuk tahun 2022, dan terjadinya kasus kekerasan pada perempuan. Adanya keterbatasan sumber daya dari pemerintah desa Sungai Nyamuk, maka masalah ketimpangan gender masih menjadi masalah serius yang mengakibatkan rendahnya kualitas dan kesejahteraan pada dalam mengakses hak-hak perempuan di daerah perbatasan. Dalam upaya menciptakan pembangunan desa yang mampu mengakomodir peran peningkatan perempuaan, maka tim pengusul (Universitas Borneo Tarakan) bersama mitra (Pemerintah Desa Sungai nyamuk) mengusulkan program pemberdayaan berbasis masyarakat dengan judul “Implementasi Desa Ramah Perempuan Melalui Peran Kolaborasi Pentahelix dalam Mewujudkan Kesetaraan Gender di Desa Sungai Nyamuk Kabupaten Nunukan Wilayah Perbatasan Indonesia” sehingga terwujud desa Mandiri yang mengintegrasikan mengintegrasikan perspektif gender dan hak perempuan ke dalam tata kelola penyelenggaraan pemerintahan desa, pembangunan desa, serta pembinaan dan pemberdayaan masyarakat desa, yang dilakukan secara terencana, menyeluruh, berkelanjutan.

Introduction. The new reality and new challenges faced by the financial system of Ukraine determine other approaches to the management of public finances. An effective system of public finance management is a guarantee of the stability of socio-economic security, and therefore the issue of deepening the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of the imperatives of the influence of public finance on the development of the social sphere and understanding the role of public finance in the system of ensuring the livelihood of residents are in demand and are of scientific interest.

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of the imperatives of the influence of public finances on the development of the social sphere.

Methods. The research uses methods of analysis, logical generalization, as well as comparison and formalization.

Results. The concept of the study of the imperatives of the influence of public finances on the development of the social sphere is proposed, which reveals the interrelationships of these spheres and the variability of long-term and shock transformations of the environment of the distribution of public finances. The consequential-target approach to determining the imperatives of the impact of public finances on the social sphere is substantiated. It provides for the identification of the main imperatives – sustainability, geopolitics, geoeconomics, spatial balance, regulation, market self-regulation, inclusiveness, technology, network connections, openness, as well as the positive and destructive consequences of their influence in the synergy of the distribution of public finances and ensuring the development of the social sphere. It was established that the general goal of the influence of the imperatives of public finance on the social sphere should be the financial well-being of the population, as well as the sustainability of financing human capital and the development of social infrastructure. Poverty, lack of savings, social stratification, inequality and economic immobility of the population are defined as absolute destructive factors.

What we talk about when we talk about play in artistic research
Authors: Postiga Ivan , Loureiro Domingos
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo ensaia a noção de “jogo” nos territórios do pensamento e das práticas artísticas contemporâneas, como um “dispositivo” ou “contra-dispositivo” representacional. Para tal, analisa o modo como a sua aparente paradoxalidade – dada pela sua indefinibilidade – lhe permitem não só operar como condição aporética de toda a obra de arte e da sua irredutibilidade no plano da interpretação, mas, simultaneamente, assumir-se como “literalidade” ao nível das suas táticas, atitudes, estratégias e processos criativos, onde a noção – “jogo” – se transforma não só em termos estéticos e poéticos no mote para uma “apropriação” e transfiguração de práticas, contextos, objetos e comportamentos, como os seus resultados ampliam e “re-significam” o seu próprio conceito e definição.
"Territórios impossíveis": experimentos em torno das noções de “natureza” e “artifício” nas práticas artísticas contemporâneas
Authors: Ramos Maria Regina , Almeida Teresa , Loureiro Domingos
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar, a partir dos conceitos de território, desterritorialização e reterritorialização dos filósofos franceses Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, as conceções de natureza e artifício na sua possível relação com os domínios do pensamento e das práticas artísticas atuais. Em diálogo com estas, procurar-se-á entender o modo como as esferas de produção e artealização da arte existem mergulhadas num continuum de fluxos, permutas, contaminações e interferências entre ambos os territórios – o natural e o artificial –, tornando-se, simbólica e conceptualmente, numa alternativa(s) a essa histórica polarização entre os termos ou, como diria o filósofo francês Clément Rosset, – uma forma de naturalização do homem através da desnaturalização da ideia de natureza.

Authors: Audi Audi
Published: November 2023

In this modern era, the increase in science and technology has led to an increase in human activities followed by an increase in vehicle capacity and a decrease in pedestrians. So the need for transportation facilities cannot be avoided. In the city of Surabaya, the need for transportation has become a primary need for the urban community and the situation is at the intersection of Jalan Ahmad Yani, Jalan Frontage Ahmad Yani and Jalan Margerejo, City of Surabaya with the 333 intersection type and 3 signal phases, which means that if one arm of the intersection is in phase green, the other three phases are in the red phase. The method used in this research is the 1997 Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual (MKJI 1997). Researchers conducted a traffic survey on the number of vehicles that passed for 3 days, namely Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, to calculate the amount of traffic volume, the capacity of the intersection, and the degree of saturation. From the results of the study, the highest traffic volume was found at the intersection of Jalan Ahmad Yani, Jalan Frontage Ahmad Yani and Jalan Margerejo, City of Surabaya, occurring on Wednesdays at 16.00-17.00 WIB.

The study investigates the impact on cortical activation during Single-leg Stance (SLS) and Dual-leg Stance (DLS) and its connection to skier balance performance, utilizing functional nearinfrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). In this experiment, nine young skiers participated, performing both SLS and DLS on challenging surfaces while being monitored with fNIRS. We introduced an alpinespecific balance test called the Modified Hop Balance Test (MHBT), designed to assess the balance proficiency of skier’s ability to control the upper body’s vertical orientation during SLS. We employed a statistical model based on a functional mixed-effects framework to analyze hemodynamic response changes across various conditions. The results from the MHBT with open eyes (tests 1 and 2) revealed variations in stability between the left and right foot when moving forward, compared to lateral movements with the same foot (tests 5 and 7). Interestingly, skiers exhibited slightly better overall scores in lateral movements compared to straight-line ones, indicating their proficiency in maintaining stability during sideways skiing. SLS exhibited significantly higher cortical activation than DLS, with no significant difference observed between left and right-leg stances. It appears that tasks demanding greater motor control or higher complexity lead to increased cortical activation. For future research, a longitudinal study is needed to observe how training and corresponding neuromuscular efforts influence cortical activation over time. Furthermore, we hypothesize that as athletes improve their balance skills, the level of cortical activity will become more optimized and similar in both SLS and DLS conditions. Therefore, considering lateralized patterns of cortical activity could be valuable when interpreting postural deficiencies in cases of SLS.

The permanent magnet synchronous motor finds extensive use in industrial applications, and the development of effective thermal management solutions is crucial to enhance its power density. Accurate temperature prediction of the permanent magnet synchronous motor serves as the fundamental basis for designing effective thermal management strategies. Model-based prediction methods exhibit superior real-time performance, but the intricate modeling process requires substantial expert knowledge guidance and lacks versatility. Conversely, data-driven prediction methods, while offering flexibility, often lack physical implications in terms of system dynamics. This paper proposed a structured linear neural dynamics model for motor temperature prediction. This model is data-driven, with prior knowledge integrated into its structure, which preserves flexibility while guaranteeing system stability through the Perron-Frobenius theorem. Additionally, this paper achieves the decoupling of control input from state transitions and the embedded deployment of this model. The method is validated with a real dataset. The lightweight feature is demonstrated by the implementation of an STM32 Microcontroller with 1.808 KB and 27 mW.

Quantifying System Inertia and Primary Frequency Response Residual Sources of Low-inertia Power System: A Comprehensive SBCM-PFA Approach
Authors: Basumatary Khwrwmdao , Shukla Anup
Published: November 2023

This paper presents a comprehensive framework, which includes a quantification procedure for various Frequency Response Residual-Sources (FRR-Ss), including System Inertia, $M_{sys}$ ( = 2H), System Self-regulation ($D_{self}$), Governor Response ($FR_{Gov.}$), and Effective Governor-Droop ($R_{eff.droop}$) performance. This framework leverages Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) data, capturing sequence-of-events frequency dynamics from a critical location following a cascaded tripping event. Within this framework, a time duration of 20 sec, starting from the onset of the disturbance, employs suitable approaches to analyze measured frequency in two network cases: `Case-I' real-time simulation in IEEE-24 bus system (RSCAD/RTDS) and `Case-II' real-frequency event measurements from the Indian power system for the aforementioned FRR-Ss quantification. The quantified results for `Case-I' are as follows: $M_{sys}$ = 20.9855 sec, $D_{self}$ = 2.477 p.u, $FR_{Gov.}$ = 10.680 p.u, and $R_{eff.droop}$ = 9.363\%, and results for `Case-II' are 5.0289 sec, 1.2116 p.u, 1.094 p.u, and 91.4076\% respectively. This effort enhances an improved understanding of system frequency dynamics and estimating the frequency response requirements during cascaded tripping events of low-inertia power systems. Finally, the paper provides insights into operational measures and highlights various challenges faced.

Published: November 2023

The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between the morphological characteristics of Cordia alliodora seedlings produced as a function of container volume and controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) doses under nursery conditions in Northern Amazon. The experimental design was a 2 x 6 factorial scheme, corresponding to two container volumes (1.8 and 2.2 L) and six doses of Forth Cote® (0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 g L-1 in medium sand), with five replicates. The evaluations were: height (H), stem diameter (SD), shoot dry mass (SDM), root dry mass (RDM), total dry mass, increment in stem diameter (ΔSD) and increment in height (ΔH) obtained from the data collected every fifteen days, from transplanting, encompassing the period of plant growth until the end of the experiment (three months), in addition to Dickson quality index (DQI). Container volume of 2.2 L is suitable for the formation of good-quality Cordia alliodora seedlings at 90 days after transplanting. Controlled-release fertilizer doses from 8.0 g L-1 are not indicated to obtain seedlings of this species in the northern region of Brazil, with quality, regardless of the container volume.

Czech Local Names in the U.S.A.
Authors: Mucha Ludvík
Published: November 2023

Czech local names have appeared in the map of the U.S.A. mostly after the great emigration of our countrymen to the U.S.A. Czech emigrants often gave their new American settlements names which reminded them of their old home. These names were the names of places they came from, the names of their nationalities, the names of great people of their own nation and also the names of founders of new settlements (which were not always of Czech origin) or the names of well known persons. The founders of these names were not only Czechs, but also German emigrants from Czech countries; two names were given even by Frenchmen. Nearly 200 local names of settlements in the U.S.A. are of Czech origin. Over 50 per cent of them are the names of Czech and Moravian communities, about 25 per cent are names of persons. Most of these American communities are small settlements. Only 8 of them had in 1960 more than 1,000 inhabitants, but 32 of them had post offices (1964). The local names are mostly in the American form; some of them disappear because of abolition or annexation of the communities. Some of them may belong to the past nowadays, but we can often find them in older literature. The names in this article have the same form which we can find in literature or maps. Czech local names are a testimony of the number, extension and effeciency of the Czech element in various regions of the U.S.A. This testimony will be the memory of Czech countrymen even after their assimilation.
