Adsorption-Desorption Behavior and Pesticide Bioavailability of Biochar in Soil
Authors: Bahia Wilhelm
Published: November 2022

Biochar is a porous carbon-rich substance generated by anoxic pyrolysis of biomass. Biochar has a high adsorption capacity for organic contaminants in water and soil environmental media due to its large specific surface area and surface physical and chemical characteristics. The effects of biochar application on the adsorption-desorption behavior and bioavailability of pesticides in soil are illustrated in this paper; biochar can strongly adsorb pesticides in soil due to its loose and porous properties, large specific surface area and surface energy, and highly aromatic structure. Residual pesticide pollutants are reduced, as is desorption hysteresis, which reduces pesticide desorption. Furthermore, the use of biochar reduced the absorption and efficacy of pesticides in soil. At the same time, it describes the present gaps in research on the influence of biochar on pesticide migration mechanisms and its application in pesticide pollution control, and it identifies the major scientific issues that need to be addressed. Finally, the potential application of biochar in pesticide pollution management is discussed.

A comparative analysis of calculations for the 12С(10В,10В)12С elastic scattering at Еlab(10B) = 41.3 MeV, the 12С(11В,11В)12С elastic scattering at Еlab(11B) = 40.0 MeV, transfer reactions 13С(11В,12С)12В and 14С(11В,12С)13В at Еlab(11B) = 45.0 МеВ was performed within the coupled-reaction-channels method (CRC) using previously deduced Woods-Saxon potentials for the interaction of 10,11,12,13В + 12С nuclei in the exit reaction channels, as well as potentials for these systems of nuclei generated by means of the double-folding method using theoretically modeled shapes for the distributions of protons and neutrons in 10,11,12,13В and 12С. The relationship of isotopic effects (differences of the calculated CRC cross sections when replacing the potential for a given pair of nuclei by interaction potential for one nucleus with the isotope of another nucleus) with the internal structure, e.g. the shapes of nucleon density distributions in the interacting nuclei, is investigated. The shapes (radial dependence) of recently deduced Woods-Saxon potentials and potentials calculated by means of the double-folding methods for the systems of 10,11,12,13В + 12С nuclei are compared. Based on the results of the analysis of experimental data, an assumption is made about the possible differences in the shapes of surface nucleon density distributions from the ones modeled theoretically in 10,11B isotopes.

One of the problems in creating a radiation-hard scintillation composition on a polysiloxane base is the search for a radiation-hard activator capable of dissolving in such a base in sufficient quantity. In this work, in order to improve the solubility of p-terphenyl molecules in a polysiloxane base, its structure was modified with tert-butyl substituents. The obtained alkyl derivative of p-terphenyl was used as an activator of polysiloxane-based scintillators. The optical and scintillation properties of the obtained polysiloxane-based scintillators were studied, and their radiation hardness was determined.

Published: November 2022

This study aimed to compare and evaluate the effects of different protein coatings on maintaining the quality of eggs stored for six weeks at 20 °C. 308 brown table eggs from ISA Brown hens were used for four treatments: uncoated eggs, coated with rice protein concentrate – RPC, soy protein concentrate – SPC, and whey protein concentrate – WPC. Eggs started with Haugh Units (HU) of 82.01 and reduced in proportions of 28.75% (control), 12.82% (RPC), 12.90% (SPC), and 10.54% (WPC) on the last day of storage. Coated eggs showed smaller reductions (P < 0.0001) in this response. Protein coatings can effectively maintain the quality of eggs stored for six weeks at 20 °C. However, the WPC coating maintained the highest egg rate and the best yolk index for eggs stored for six weeks at 20 °C.
Neural machine translation for Hungarian
Authors: Laki László János , Yang Zijian Győző
Published: November 2022

In the scope of this research, we aim to give an overview of the currently existing solutions for machine translation and we assess their performance on the English-Hungarian language pair. Hungarian is considered to be a challenging language for machine translation because it has a highly different grammatical structure and word ordering compared to English. We probed various machine translation systems from both academic and industrial applications. One key highlight of our work is that our models (Marian NMT, BART) performed significantly better than the solutions offered by most of the market-leader multinational companies. Finally, we fine-tuned different pre-finetuned models (mT5, mBART, M2M100) for English-Hungarian translation, which achieved state-of-the-art results in our test corpora.

SYMMETRY OF THE COUPLING MATRIX BETWEEN FORCES AND FLOWS IN STRATIFIED TURBULENT FLOW IN A CHANNEL WITH AN ARBITRARILY SHAPED CROSS SECTION
Authors: Geshev Pavel I.
Published: November 2022

In this work, the stratified turbulent flow of several fluids in a channel of arbitrary shape was considered. It was assumed that the hydrostatic problem of finding free boundaries between different fluids has been solved, the regions in which individual fluids move are known, and the turbulent viscosity is known, but it is not constant in the cross section. The motion of the media arose under the actions of the applied pressure gradient and volumetric gravitational forces. Due to the conjugacy of the joint flow of N liquids, the density of the applied forces in the kth flow (Fk) can affect the flow rate of the ith liquid: Qi = Σj=1N Lik Fk. The results obtained prove in the most general form that the matrix of the coupling coefficients between the forces and flows is symmetric: Lik = Lki. This resembles the symmetry in Onzager's matrix of phenomenological coefficients in nonequilibrium thermodynamics; however, the reasons for these symmetries are different.

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the public's interest in pain and painkillers using Google search activity in countries with the most cases before and during the COVID-19 pandemic (January 2018 - December 2021).

Methods: United States (USA), England, France, Germany, Italy, India, Spain, Russia, Brazil and Turkey, which are the countries where the Covid 19 epidemic was most intense, were determined along with the world for the analysis. The words of "Back pain", "Chest pain", "Headache", "Knee pain", "Sore throat", "Aspirin", "Ibufren" and "Paracetamol" were written into the Google Trend search engine. RapidMiner Analysis program and Microsoft Excel program were used in the statistical analysis of the data. Correlation tests were used to determine the strength of the relationship between pain regions and drugs.

Results: The terms fo "ibuprofen", "aspirin", "paracetamol" peaked in Google searches on March 15, 2020. The search frequencies of the terms of sore throat, chest pain, and headache peaked worldwide between March 15, 2020 and March 22, 2020. The strong correlations were obtained, ranging from 0.627 to 0.901 for chest pain and headache terms, and 0.629 to 0.749 for ibuprofen and paracetamol terms.

Conclusion: As a result of the research, it is seen that the frequency of searching for pain and analgesics has increased significantly during the COVID-19 period. Our data can be considered as an indicative of the increasing incidence of pain with the COVID-19 pandemic, since internet searches are a proxy for the public good.

Published: November 2022

Aim: Diagnostic biomarkers are needed for pediatric acute appendicitis (AA). We hypothesized that presepsin (soluble CD14 subtype), a biomarker for sepsis, can also be used in pediatric AA and aimed to investigate its diagnostic value in those patients.

Materials and Methods: This prospective case-control study was conducted on children admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Department with suspected acute appendicitis. Serum levels of interleukin-6, and presepsin were statistically analyzed for their diagnostic values.

Results: No remarkable demographic differences were present between the 41 cases and 47 controls. Clinical and routine laboratory findings were significantly positive for acute appendicitis in the cases compared to controls. ROC analysis indicated an AUC for presepsin as 0.999 (CI 95%: 0.890-0.993) and for interleukin-6 as 0.963 (CI 95%:0.949-1.000). The best cut-off point value for presepsin was at 739 pg/ml, corresponding to a sensitivity of 97.56% and a specificity of 100%. The best cut-off point value for interleukin-6 was at 19 pg/ml, corresponding to a sensitivity of 97.56% and a specificity of 90.32%.

Conclusions: Our study results indicate that presepsin can be considered a biomarker for diagnosing appendicitis in pediatric cases. Future studies might better include the combination with other biomarkers in pediatric cases.

Published: November 2022

Aim:

It is known that cardiac involvement may occur in patients with COVID-19 infection. And one of the best diagnostic tools of cardiac involvement is the ECG. The aim of this study is to investigate the common ECG findings in COVID-19 infection and the effect of these findings on the prognosis.

Material and Method:

215 patients who applied to our emergency department between 04.06.2022 and 04.08.2022 and met the criteria for inclusion in the study were included in this study. All patient results and ECG images were accessed from the hospital data recording system. The results were used for statistical analysis.

Results:

Of 215 patients, 118 were female and 97 were male, and the mean age was 58±21 years. Of these patients, 52 were hospitalized in the service and 17 were hospitalized in intensive care units, and 146 patients were discharged from the emergency department. The most common ECG finding was ST-T wave change. It was observed that there was a correlation between the detection of VT in the ECG and the intensive care unit admission. It was observed that the ECG findings of the patients had no effect on the prognosis.

Conclusion:

All ECG findings can be seen in patients admitted to the emergency department with COVID-19 infection. The most common ECG finding is ST-T wave change. In addition, long QTc, sinus tachycardia and AF are also common. However, no correlation was found between ECG findings and disease prognosis.
What Happens in China Does Not Stay in China
Authors: Cascaldi-Garcia Danilo , Barcelona William L. , Hoek Jasper J. , Van Leemput Eva
Published: November 2022

Spillovers from China to global financial markets have been found to be small owing to China's limited integration in the global financial system. In this paper, however, we provide evidence that China constitutes an important driver of the global financial cycle. We argue that because of China's importance for global consumption, stronger Chinese growth raises global growth prospects, inducing an increase in global risk sentiment and an expansion in global asset prices and global credit. Two contributions are key to this finding: (1) We construct a measure of China's credit impulse to identify Chinese policy-induced demand shocks. Our approach takes advantage of the fact that a primary tool of China's stabilization policy-encompassing monetary, fiscal, and regulatory policies-is controlling the amount of credit in the economy. Without China's credit impulse, it is difficult to discern global financial spillovers; (2) We estimate an alternative measure of Chinese GDP growth that captures its business cycle given data concerns about the smoothness of official GDP data. Without China's alternative GDP measure, it is difficult to attribute any global cycle movements to economic developments in China.

Published: November 2022

The main source of potassium fertilizers is sylvinite ores consisting primarily of halite (NaCl), silicate and clay-carbonate slurries (clay-salt slurries). Processing of natural potash ores is mainly carried out by the flotation method, which separates KCl, NaCl, and clay-salt slurry. The research is aimed at revealing the effect of sonochemical pretreatment of the depressor reagents, CMC and starch, on dynamic viscosity, aggregate size, electrokinetic potential of these reagent solutions and sylvin flotation performance. It has been established that sonochemical treatment of depressor solutions decreases the size of aggregates of starch molecules by more than 133 times and that of aggregates of CMC molecules from 6 to 4 nm. It has been revealed that sonochemical treatment of anionic CMC solution shifts the electrokinetic potential towards the area of negative values with an increase in acoustic power, while sonochemical treatment of any acoustic power has no effect on the zeta potential of nonionic starch. It has been found that the sonochemical treatment lowers the dynamic viscosity of CMC and starch solutions: the viscosity of CMC solution at a maximum acoustic power of 420 W decreases by 44 % and the viscosity of starch solution at the same acoustic (ultrasonic) power decreases by 70 %. Furthermore, sonochemical pretreatment of sylvin flotation depressors contributes to an increase in KCl recovery and a decrease in the slurry content in the flotation concentrate. The possibility of reducing the consumption of ultrasonic treated depressor is also demonstrated. It is expedient to test the obtained findings in pilot-plant conditions.

Writing History With Films: A Comparative Analysis of Films About the Conquest of İstanbul
Authors: BALCI GÜLPINAR Dilara
Published: November 2022

Popular historical films strive to capture the audience who create emotional bonds with the past by providing the audience the historical experience they imagined. On the other hand, the worldviews and likes of audiences are not constant and may undergo changes in parallel with historical developments. Popular historical films shot in anticipation of the box office bear the imprint of the expectations of the majority of the target audience. The aim of this article is to explore the transformation of historical representations of films and the reasons for the change by analyzing three Turkish-made historical films describing the handover of the city of Constantinople from the Byzantine Empire to the Ottoman Empire: The Conquest of Istanbul (Aydın Arakon, 1951), Conquest 1453 (Fatih Aksoy, 2003), and Love Under Siege (Ersin Pertan, 1997). In this article, proceeding from the idea that a historical film is a form of audiovisual historiography, it will be argued that the historical representations of films are mainly related to the target audience that transform in line with the social and political changes, and the production process.

Published: November 2022

Exposure to wrong content on social media could negatively influence adolescents’ moral development. This study, therefore, investigated the influence of Social Media on in-school adolescents’ morals in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The descriptive survey design was employed in this study. The population comprised all secondary school students in Ekiti State Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 420 respondents for the study. Data were collected using a self-designed instrument tagged Social Media and Adolescents’ Morals Questionnaire (SMAMQ). Content validity of the instrument was ascertained and the reliability coefficient of 0.87 was obtained to ensure consistency of the instrument. Data analysis was done using percentages, t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The findings of the study revealed that exposure of students to explicit sexual images or messages on social media influenced in-school adolescents’ morals in Ekiti State. Thus, the majority of the respondents indicated that social media influenced adolescents’ morals. The results further showed no significant difference in the influence of social media on in-school adolescents’ morals based on gender, school system, school type and location. This shows most adolescents use social media negatively. Thus, it was recommended that school counsellors should properly guide and mentor in-school adolescents to take good advantage of social media for moral development.

Published: November 2022

The article presents an improved method for calculating the probability of failure-free operation of case-hardened spur gear transmissions. The existing methods for calculating the probability of failure-free operation of gear transmissions are analyzed. The failure tree for a case-hardened spur gear transmission is presented. The probability of failure-free operation of case-hardened cylindrical gear transmissions is presented as the product of the probabilities of failure-free operation of the gear and the wheel according to the following criteria (failure types): contact endurance (pitting), bending endurance (tooth breakage), and tooth interior fatigue fracture (deep contact chipping). An algorithm has been developed for calculating the probability of failure-free operation of case-hardened spur gear transmissions. To restore the torque distribution density function in the proposed method, nonparametric statistics methods are implemented. In the calculation of contact stresses, the skew angle is taken into account, which is the sum of two angles: the skew angle due to deformations of the transmission elements and the housing; the total angle of technological misalignment of wheel tooth surfaces, caused by errors in the manufacture of the teeth and mounting errors during the assembly of the transmission. An example of a test calculation of the probability of failure-free operation of a case-hardened spur gear transmission according to the presented method is given. Based on the work performed, conclusions are formulated.

Published: November 2022

Malignant hyperthermia, is one of the most serious complications of modern anesthesia, which is a pharmacogenetic disease phenotypically manifested by skeletal muscle hypermetabolism and rhabdomyolysis during or after general anesthesia using inhalation anesthetics. An unexpected increase in CO2 concentration at the end of exhalation is the most common initial sign of malignant hyperthermia. Atypical forms of this pharmacogenetic disease are observed much more often than lightning or fulminant. In Russia, malignant hyperthermia currently remains a problem.
We present a case of malignant hyperthermia in a 19-year-old girl who underwent surgery for nasal breathing disorders and received Sevoran anesthesia as support. The patient died 1 h 25 min after the surgery during withdrawal from anesthesia caused by a clinically confirmed syndrome of malignant hyperthermia. Forensic autopsy confirmed this diagnosis. The morphological changes in the skeletal muscles using both plain and elective histological stains were described.
The presented observation is valuable owing to the rarity of lightning-fast forms of malignant hyperthermia and the high lethality accompanying these pathologies. This expert case demonstrate how a competent and comprehensive histological examination, including the use of genetic testing, allows correct formulation of a diagnosis and, if necessary, reasonably answer questions from law enforcement agencies.

Nowadays, digital technologies development potentially have changed on teaching and learning activities and demands teachers’ competencies and literacy. In this study, narrative review is used to identify the types of Techno-mathematical Literacy (TmL) that the teachers need to acquire in this digital age. There are seven categories of TmL studied, namely: data literacy, ability to use computer software, communication skills, ability to analyze errors, ability to interpret numbers, creativity, and drawing skills. The results show that the seven categories are crucial for teachers to execute their role in this highly demanding era. These results also indicate that techno-mathematical literacy needs to be applied in the field of teacher education to adequately equip the students with the skills required in the workplace. The result also suggested that teachers need to be encouraged to develop their instructional design in the attempt to enhance students’ techno-mathematical literacy.
Assessing Functional and Comprehensive Health Literacy in a Syrian Refugee Community
Authors: Ismail Mentalla
Published: November 2022

Newly resettled refugees have poorly managed acute and chronic health conditions as a result of their migration experience. To add to an already complex experience, poor health literacy complicates effective utilization of healthcare among these communities (Wångdahl et al., 2014). Health literacy has been described in the literature as one of the key determinants of and potential barriers to optimal health (Kickbusch, 2001). Anecdotally, health literacy curricula have been implemented in other low-literacy communities with success. Yet there are very few known structured curricula built into the resettlement experience in  the United States (U.S.), and even fewer have been described in the literature.
In collaboration with Closing the Health Gap and Refuge Collaborative, a six-week health literacy curriculum was developed and disseminated in adult Syrian refugee populations within the Greater Cincinnati Area. Using a pre-post intervention design, I aimed to assess the baseline health literacy of newly resettled adult refugees in the Greater Cincinnati Area and evaluate the effectiveness of the health literacy curriculum in improving the functional health literacy of these communities. This pilot study informed the development of a health literacy curriculum aimed at high school refugee students enrolled in Cincinnati Public Schools.
Establishing the effectiveness of such a curriculum has the potential to have far-reaching impacts on other refugee communities undergoing the resettlement experience. Other communities experiencing low health literacy, such as African Americans, may also benefit from a similar curriculum. Most importantly, improved health literacy can indirectly translate into more effective health care utilization and lead to overall better health outcomes for disadvantaged communities.

Published: November 2022

As a director of a community-based organization who works predominantly with immigrants and refugees, Lucy Morse Roberts noticed immigrant clients and colleagues were often experiencing ill-defined malaise, headaches, and insomnia. After visiting doctors, the immigrant clients and colleagues were still unwell. She and her team sought to understand and address this suffering and seek ways to heal. Research on migratory mournings by Joseba Achotegui offered her team one lens through which to understand and better respond to the physical and psychological ailments experienced by immigrant and refugee clients. Achotegui’s research, including that on the Ulysses Syndrome and cultural and situational responsiveness, directly changed the programming and priorities at Hui International under Lucy Morse Roberts’ leadership. This article first defines migratory mournings and the Ulysses Syndrome. Second, the article offers community partners’ personal and professional insight as to how and why this research is relevant and transformative. Lastly, the article offers an organizational framework for effective application and intentional community engagement.

MXenes, as highly electronegative and conductive two-dimensional nanomaterials, are extensively studied for their use in sensors and flexible electronics. In this study, near-field electrospinning was used to prepare a new poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF)/Ag nanoparticle (AgNP)/MXene composite nanofiber film as a self-powered flexible human motion-sensing device. The composite film displayed highly piezoelectric properties with the presence of MXene. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that the intercalated MXene in the composite nanofibers was evenly spread out, which not only prevented the aggregation of MXene but also enabled the composite materials to form self-reduced AgNPs. The prepared PVDF/AgNP/MXene fibers displayed exceptional stability and excellent output performance, enabling their use for energy harvesting and powering light-emitting diodes. The doping of MXene/AgNPs increased the electrical conductivity of the PVDF material, improved its piezoelectric properties, and enhanced the piezoelectric constant of PVDF piezoelectric fibers, thereby allowing the production of flexible, sustainable, wearable, and self-powered electrical devices.

Published: November 2022

Latar Belakang: Praktik kepemilikan bank atas saham suatu perusahaan (selanjutnya disebut kepemilikan bank) merupakan hal yang banyak terjadi di sejumlah negara, terutama di negara berkembang. Kepemilikan bank telah mendorong perusahaan untuk mengakses modal yang dimiliki oleh bank dengan lebih mudah. Adanya akses yang lebih mudah tersebut dapat mengurangi hambatan keuangan yang dihadapi oleh perusahaan, sehingga investasi yang inefisien dapat dihindari. Dengan demikian, kepemilikan bank pada akhirnya dapat meningkatkan investasi perusahaan menjadi lebih efisien.Metode Penelitian: Sampel penelitian ini adalah 479 perusahaan non-keuangan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia. Periode observasi data penelitian yang digunakan adalah dari tahun 2006 sampai dengan tahun 2019. Data penelitian diambil dari laporan keuangan perusahaan yang dapat diakses melalui SP Capital IQ. Adapun model penelitian yang digunakan adalah model Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) dan Fixed Effect.Hasil Penelitian: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepemilikan bank mengurangi inefisiensi investasi perusahaan. Setelah dilakukan pengujian lebih lanjut dengan menggunakan variabel interaksi Tobin’s Q dengan kepemilikan bank, terjadi peningkatan sensitivitas investasi terhadap peluang investasi yang turut memberikan indikasi bahwa investasi menjadi lebih efisien.Keterbatasan Penelitian: Penelitian ini hanya mengukur kepemilikan bank dengan menggunakan dummy variable.Keaslian/Kebaruan Penelitian: Penelitian ini menggunakan model penelitian sebelumnya oleh dkk (2020), model tersebut telah disesuaikan kembali dengan kondisi perusahaan di Indonesia secara umum dengan mengeliminasi sejumlah variabel yang tidak memungkinkan. Selain itu, penelitian ini turut berkontribusi dalam memperluas penelitian sebelumnya dan memberikan bukti empiris bahwa kepemilikan bank dapat mengurangi inefisiensi dalam investasi perusahaan di Indonesia.
