This study is the first contribution to monitoring the rearing of common meagre Argyrosomus regius in floating cages anchored in Dakhla Bay, southern Morocco. The aquaculture potential of common meagre in Dakhla Bay was evaluated by zootechnical monitoring of two production cycles. The first batch consisted of 20,000 fingerlings of 4.5 ± 0.13 g in mean initial weight and 6±0.19 cm in fork length, and was caught on 26 August 2019 under a condition factor of about 2.08 ± 0.35. The second batch consisted of 30,000 individuals of 3 ± 0.11 g in average initial weight and 6±0.26 cm in average initial length, and was caught on 4 June 2020 under a condition factor of about 1.39 ± 0.21. During the first experiment, which lasted 16 months, a high growth potential of common meagre was observed. The fish reached an average weight of 1265 ± 69.2 g and an average length of 48±4.32 cm with a specific growth rate (SGR) of 0.58 ± 0.11% day-1 and a daily growth index DGI of 2.45 ± 0.91 g ind-1 day-1. The feed conversion ratio was 1.18 (FER = 0.84), final density was 36.94 kg m-3 and condition factor (k) recorded a mean value of 2.18±0.39 throughout the cycle. The survival rate at the first harvest was 89.86%. After 18 months of rearing, the fish of the second cycle reached a weight of 1285±69.2 g and a size of 47 ± 5.36 cm, with an SGR of 0.49 ± 0.12 % day-1 and a DGI of 2.34 ± 1.35 g ind-1 day-1, an FCR of 1.21 (FER =0.83), the final density of 28.43 kg m-3 and a condition factor of 1.35 ± 0.32. The survival rate was 92.19%. However, the results of the statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference between the two production cycles (P > 0.05). These results confirm that common meagre is a very promising species for the diversification of aquaculture in Dakhla Bay and throughout Morocco.

Published: November 2023

Introduction

Minitracheostomy involves the percutaneous insertion of a 4-mm-diameter cricothyroidotomy tube for tracheal suctioning to facilitate the clearance of airway secretions. The advantage of using the minitracheostomy is in the clearance of secretions, however data on their usefulness for respiratory failure after extubation is limited. Aim of the study: We aimed to assess the use of minitracheostomy for patients with challenging extubation caused by significant sputum.

Material and Methods

We conducted a retrospective analysis of consecutive case series. We analyzed the data of 31 patients with pneumonia. After minitracheostomy, the primary endpoints of reintubation within 72 hours and clinical effects, including mortality, length of intensive care unit (ICU), or hospital stay, were assessed. The successful extubation group included patients who did not require reintubation within 72 hours. Conversely, the reintubation group consisted of patients mandating reestablishment of intubation within 72 hours.

Results

Among those who underwent minitracheostomy after extubation, 22 (71%) underwent successful extubation and 9 underwent reintubation (reintubation rate: 29%). The in-hospital mortality rates after 30 days were 18.2% in the successful extubation group and 22.2% in the reintubation group. The ICU and hospital lengths of stay were 11 days (interquartile range: 8–14.3 days) and 23 days (interquartile range: 15.5–41 days), respectively, in the successful extubation group; they were 14 days (interquartile range: 11–18.5 days) and 30 days (interquartile range: 16–45.5 days), respectively, in the reintubation group.

Conclusions

The prophylactic use of minitracheostomy may be an option as a means of reducing reintubation in patients with pneumonia who are at very high risk of reintubation.

Introduction

Proper management of sepsis poses a challenge even today, with early diagnosis and targeted treatment being the most important steps. Easy, cost-effective bedside tools are needed in order to pinpoint towards the outcome of sepsis or septic shock.

Aim of study

This study aims to find a correlation between Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) and Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II) severity scores, the Neutrophil-Lymphocytes Ratio (NLR) and carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) levels in septic or septic shock patients with the scope of establishing a bed side cost-effective prognostic tool.

Materials and methods

A pilot, prospective, observational, and ongoing study was conducted on 61 patients admitted with sepsis or septic shock according to the SEPSIS 3 Consensus definition. We followed clinical and paraclinical parameters on day 1 (D1) and day 5 (D5) after meeting the inclusion criteria.

Results

On D1 we found a statistically significant positive correlation between each severity score (p <0.0001), r = 0.7287 for SOFA vs. APACHE II with CI: 0.5841–0.8285, r = 0.6862 for SOFA vs. SAPS II with CI: 0.5251–0.7998 and r = 0.8534 for APACHE II vs. SAPS II with CI: 0.7663 to 0.9097. On D5 we observed similar results: a significant positive correlation between each severity score (p <0.0001), with r = 0.7877 for SOFA vs. APACHE II with CI: 0.6283 to 0.8836, r = 0.8210 for SOFA vs. SAPS II with CI: 0.6822 to 0.9027 and r = 0.8880 for APACHE II vs. SAPS II., CI: 0.7952 to 0.9401. Nil correlation was found between the severity scores, NLR and COHb on D1 and D5.

Conclusion

Cost-effective bedside tools to pinpoint towards the outcome of sepsis are yet to be found, however the positive correlation between the severity scores point out to a combination of such tools for prognosis prediction of septic or septic shock patients.

The application of biochar is considered to be a beneficial strategy for improving soil ecosystem services. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the differences in the soil erosion of silt loam soil with or without the application of biochar and to compare the impact of the application of biochar on soil erosion for different agricultural practices, namely, bare soil, silage corn, and sown peas. Specifically, the physically-based EROSION 3D model was used to estimate the soil erosion of small plots of sloping agricultural land. In considering various combinations of agricultural practices and rainfalls with different durations and intensities, several scenarios were used to assess the impact of the application of biochar on soil erosion.

The results of this study demonstrate that the highest mean values of mean soil erosion in the case study area were simulated without using any biochar on bare soil. The values of the mean soil erosion were reduced with the use of biochar. The effect of the application of biochar was shown for all types of agricultural practices; above all, it reduced soil erosion that occurred above high values (over 30 t ha–1). Although the application and reapplication of biochar showed promise in reducing soil erosion, further research is needed to gain a deeper understanding of its total effects.

Published: November 2023

This paper is focused on the problem of the pollutant source localisation in streams in other words the solution of the inverse problem of pollution spreading with in an extensive open channel network structure, i.e. in a complex system of rivers, channels and creeks in natural catchments or sewer systems in urban catchments. The design of the overall localisation procedure is based on the requirement that the entire localization system be operative and fast enough to enable quick operative interventions and help prevent the spread of pollution. The proposed model, as well as, the overall localisation procedure was calibrated and tested on a real sewer system, which represents in this case an extensive open channel network structure with free surface flow. The test results are successful and confirmed applicability of proposed localization tool in simple real conditions. However, the localisation procedure has pros and cons, which are discussed in the paper.
Changes in crack width on the surface of heavy soils during drought, determined by precise measurement and calculation
Authors: Gomboš Milan , Tall Andrej , Kandra Branislav , Constantin Anca , Pavelkova Dana
Published: November 2023

In heavy soils, changes in humidity incur soil volume changes. In the horizontal plane, these are manifested by cracks formation and in the vertical plane by the movement of the soil surface. Cracks have a significant impact on hydrodynamics of the soil profile. The work is based on the hypothesis that soil volume changes depend on both the content of clay particles in soil and soil volumetric moisture. The aim of the work is to measure and analyze the changes in the width of the cracks and their reaction to the changes in volumetric soil moisture. One of the objectives of the work was to design a simple tool for accurate measurement and calculation of the crack width on the soil surface. For the study of crack width, a soil profile in an area on the East Slovakia Lowland was selected. The profile was examined under conditions of extreme drought, at the turn of July and August 2022. Crack width varied between 1.0 cm and 3.3 cm. The calculation procedure was evaluated as satisfactory for estimating the change in crack width on the soil surface.

The article reports the preliminary research results of a multilayer site, which comprises the cultural layers dating from the Middle Ages, Kuro-Araks culture, Eneolithic, Neolithic and Epipaleolithic. Of particular interest are the Neolithic layers dating from ca. 8.2 ka BP or 6.300 BC to 7.5–6.7 ka BP or 5.700–4.800 BC. The site shows not only the earliest evidence of the Ceramic Neolithic in the North Caucasus and also provides the authors an opportunity to study the transformation of the Neolithic culture over time. There is no ceramics in the lower layer. Lithic assemblage from this layer is dated to 9.5 ka BP and shows many similarities in the materials of the Epipaleolithic sites of the Elbrus region. A hunter-gatherer camp from the beginning of the Holocene, which existed during the Pereslavl cold stage (ca. 10–9 ka BP), has been preserved in the layer.
Middle Trans-Urals and Western Siberia: from the Stone Age of to the Metal Age
Authors:   Ural Federal University. Mira str. 19, Yekaterinburg, 620002, Russian Federation, Korochkova Olga N.
Published: November 2023

The article deals with the peculiarities of formation processes of the Bronze Age among the population of hunters and fishermen of the mountain-forest Trans-Urals and the West Siberian taiga at the end of III – beginning of II millennium BC. The transition to the Era of Metal in both Trans-Urals and Western Siberia occurred under the direct influence of foreign cultural groups of the population, though under different scenarios. The traditions of bronze metal production, associated with the penetration of the bearers of the Seimа-Turbino traditions deep into the taiga, have not taken root in the taiga of Western Siberia. In the Middle Trans-Urals, which was rich in copper ore deposits, an independent mining center was formed. This phenomenon was caused by close integration of the main actors of the Bronze Age of the Urals and Western Siberia – groups of the Seima-Turbino traditions and pastoralists of the steppe zone, who cultivated a pastoral model of metal production.

In the article the results of investigations of the Sokolniy VIII settlement located in the Zvenigovskiy district, Mari El Republic are presented. The topography of site, the history of its study, information about stratigraphy and spatial structure of archaeological material are considered. The characteristics of ceramic complex of site and technology of pottery making are discussed. The detail description of the stone inventory and the main types of tools are presented. At the Sokolniy VIII settlement any constructive components of the cultural layer except for one fireplace were not determined. This fact allows the authors to interpret the settlement as short time site. The most of the pottery shards belong to the Krasny Most ceramic type of the Late Neolithic in the forest Middle Volga basin and have the direct analogy in the materials of the reference site such as Krasniy Most II-III, Sosnovaya Gora III, Dubovskoe VIII. The technology of ceramics is characterized by the stablility of the main components. The silt organic clay was used as main raw source. As a temper grog and organic solution were added. The stone tool collection is impressive. The nuclei and morphological tools total consist of 45 items. The most of typological types of inventory have analogies to the artifacts from earlier studied assemblages. On the base of radiocarbon dating the period of the settlement exiting can be concerned to the last quarter of 5th millennium BC.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis tingkat kompleksitas penyajian laporan keuangan berdasarkan PSAK 45 dibandingkan ISAK 35 dari persepsi pembuat laporan keuangan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif-komparatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa berdasarkan keempat indikator yaitu pemahaman pembuat laporan keuangan, ketentuan yang berlaku, akun yang bervariasi serta waktu penyusunan pada dasarnya lebih kompleks menggunakan PSAK 45 dibandingkan ISAK 35. Hal tersebut disebabkan karena pembuat laporan keuangan memiliki latar pendidikan akuntansi sehingga mempunyai pemahaman yang baik terkait standart pelaporan keuangan entitas nirlaba. Selain itu, Ketentuan dalam ISAK 35 lebih memudahkan pembuat laporan keuangan dalam menyajikan laporan keuangan karena dapat menyesuaikan deskripsi sesuai dengan kebutuhan entitas. Pengklasifikasian aset tidak lagi di dikelompokkan menjadi terikat permanen dan terikat kontemporer melainkan disatukan menjadi dengan pembatasan dari pemberi sumberdaya, hal tersebut akan mengurangi kompleksitas. Sedangkan waktu penyusunan laporan keuangan lebih cepat pengerjaannya menggunakan ISAK 35 apabila menggunakan program.

Authors: Rosadi Firsta Ninda , Yunita Roza , Jamsari Jamsari
Published: November 2023

One of the main products of sunflower is the seed which is a producer of vegetable oil that is needed in the pharmaceutical industry and the health sector. The price of sunflower seed oil is currently very high for the market but sunflower production in Indonesia is quite low. This potential can be used as the basis for the development of sunflower cultivation in Indonesia. One of the efforts to increase the content of sunflower seed oil is to improve proper cultivation techniques and modifications in cultivation techniques. One of the cultural techniques in increasing production is to get the right dose of nitrogen (N) fertilization. The addition of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi (AMF) is expected to increase the absorption of N nutrients in the soil, thereby increasing the growth and yield of sunflowers. This study aimed 1) effectivity of AMF and nitrogen fertilizer application with various doses on growth and yield of sunflower, 2) to obtain the right dose of N fertilizer on growth and yield of sunflower The study used a Split-plot Design with 3 replications. The first factor as the main plot is AMF i.e. F0 = without AMF, F1 = with AMF 5 g hole-1. The second factor as a sub-plot is the dose of urea fertilizer with 4 levels i.e. N1 = 50 kg N Ha-1, N2 = 100 kg N Ha-1, N3 = 150 kg N Ha-1, N4 = 200 kg N Ha-1. Observations data were evaluated by analysis of variance if the obtained F count was greater than F table 5% followed by a further test of DNMRT at the 5% significant level. Result showed 1) the effectivity of AMF and nitrogen fertilization on sunflowers was able to increase the number of leaves, accelerate the initiation of flowering, increase the diameter of sunflowers, total seeds per plant, the weight of 100 seeds, and seed production per plant, 2) Economically, the application of nitrogen fertilizer with a dose of 150 kg N Ha-1 is more appropriate in increasing the growth and production of sunflowers

Authors: Hong Van Tran Thi , Di Huynh Ba
Published: November 2023

Salt stress adversely affects the physiological processes of plants, causing negative changes in the morphology and anatomy of cells, tissues and organs. In order to adapt to the increasingly complex situation of saline intrusion, application of exogenous plant growth regulators shows many positive results to improve the crop's tolerance. In order to survey the effects of humic acid and salicylic acid on yellow hot chili (Capsicum annuum L.), the study was experiated in the greenhouse of Kien Giang University. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design, including 2 factors: humic acid (with 4 concentrations: 0 ppm, 1,000 ppm, 1,500 ppm and 2,000 ppm) and salicylic acid (with 4 concentrations: 0 mM, 1 mM, 1.5 mM and 2 mM) were treated separately or in combination (including 16 treatments with 3 replicates). The results showed that the yellow hot chili could grow and bear fruit when watered with saline water from 30 days after planting, however, the yield was low. The record indicated that supplying humic acid at 1,500 ppm into the soil and spraying with salicylic acid at 2 mM to the leaves gave the most effective results, increasing 82% of the yield compared with the control.

Published: November 2023

Potatoes are one of the world's five food crops in the form of tubers and have many benefits. One type of potato developed in Indonesia is red potatoes because they have a high nutritional content and are more susceptible to plant pest organisms. An experiment was conducted in Nagari Selayo Tanang Bukit Sileh, Lembang Jaya, Solok, West Sumatra, Indonesia from May to August 2017. The effect of three indigenous rizobacteria (A2.1b2, A3.1a5 and B1.2a2) and three types of manure, both individually and in combination, on the growth and yield of red potatoes was studied. A two way factorial experiment with a completely randomized design and three replicates was used. Chicken, quail and cattle manure were applied at a dose of 30 tons per hectare. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and comparison of mean using the Honestly Significant Difference test at the 5% level. There was no interaction between rizobacterial isolates and manure on the growth and yield of red potatoes. All isolates gave similar results with respect to plant growth, but isolates A2.1b2 give the best yields. Chicken manure increased fresh weight of tubers by 11.73 ton per hectare compared to quail and cattle manure.

Published: November 2023

Foreign language anxiety has been recognized as one of the foremost challenges for language learners. This study intends to explore the sources of non-English freshmen’s anxiety in ESP speaking program and their ways of dealing with it. Similarly, ESP instructors’ solutions to mitigate their freshmen’s anxiety were also discovered. A qualitative approach with an exploratory case study design was conducted to enrich insight and better understand the phenomenon. Data collection involves classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with eight non-English freshmen and two ESP instructors enrolled in ESP speaking program at a private university in Malang, East Java. The data was then analyzed thematically using the interactive model of Miles et al., (2014). It was found that speaking anxiety commonly felt by non-English freshmen was caused by some sources from freshmen’s personal mentality, linguistic capability, and classroom activity. The finding also provides several strategies adopted by freshmen to overcome their anxiety. Furthermore, various approaches implemented by ESP instructors to decrease freshmen’s speaking anxiety were offered. It should be emphasized that anxiety among students will always linger upon learning a foreign language. Still, such learning roadblocks could be diminished. Instructors possess a crucial duty to lessen the worries of learners.

This case study aimed to investigate the use of the social media video application, TikTok, to support ten EFL teachers in Indonesia to develop videos for storytelling with their students. During the emergency remote teaching, these teachers found difficulty in designing learning materials easy to share on various online platforms. In this study, a two-week training program consisting of face-to-face and online sessions was conducted to facilitate the teachers to explore TikTok affordances and tell stories in the form of TikTok’s Duet. The data were collected from TikTok videos produced during the program and the teachers’ pre- and post-training reflective notes. The findings show the teachers’ shifted view of TikTok as non-educational entertainment to an educational platform that could facilitate interactive and interesting storytelling with students. The teachers were aware that while the short duration of the TikTok video was beneficial for easy sharing and engagement with students, it affected the length of the unfolding stages of the story. In creating a TikTok video for storytelling, the teachers found modifying original stories into a one-minute interactive video challenging. More support is thus required to provide teachers with pedagogical, technological, and language content knowledge that allows them to develop teaching resources relevant to their student’s language learning needs and social and economic backgrounds.

Published: November 2023

The adoption of the 2022 Emancipated Curriculum in Indonesia has prompted a need for pre-service English teachers to acquire new skill sets. These skill sets entail the integration of technology and pedagogy, aligning with UNESCO's transformative pedagogy approach to learning, which emphasizes a new paradigm of learning with a focus on essential elements of language learning. This qualitative study aims to investigate the perspectives and experiences of pre-service English teachers in Indonesia in developing digital learning resources for English learners that resonate well with the nature of the Emancipated Curriculum.  A phenomenological research approach was adopted, and data were collected through a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with 16 pre-service English teachers who had completed their final research project on the development of digital learning resources that promote a holistic English language learning. The data was analysed using both corpus analysis and thematic analysis techniques. The findings reveal that pre-service English teachers in Indonesia encounter substantial obstacles when it comes to developing and utilizing digital resources. These challenges include limited access to technology, resistance from schools to embrace digital learning, and students' inadequate English proficiency levels. Despite these constraints, the pre-service teachers generally express satisfaction and confidence in creating their digital learning materials. They also view digital technology as a valuable resource that can enrich the teaching and learning experience. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the need to equip preservice English teachers in Indonesia with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate the digital age and work as curriculum engineers effectively. This study suggests that by integrating digital pedagogy and providing access to digital resources, preservice English teachers can become competent curriculum engineers who can deliver quality English language instruction in the 21st century. Ultimately, this will enhance the quality of English language instruction in Indonesia and ensure that preservice teachers are well-prepared to navigate the digital age and provide quality education to their students.

A.A. Fet's Lyrics in the Interpretation of V. Solovyov: on the question of methodology
Authors: Anokhina Yuliya Yur'evna
Published: November 2023

The present study is aimed at identifying specific features of the methodology of interpretation of Russian lyrics by V.S. Solovyov. The article raises the question of the methodological tools of Solovyov's interpretive strategy on the example of his approach to the lyrics of A.A. Fet. In particular, an immanent analysis of the article "On lyrical poetry. About the last poems of Fet and Polonsky" ("Russian Review", 1890). The compositional features of the work are studied, the complex of problems that Solovyov puts forward in connection with his proposed interpretation of Fet's lyrics is considered. At the same time, special attention is paid to the problem of creating an artistic image of the poet in Solovyov's poem "A.A. Fet, October 19, 1884" – a poem inspired by the presentation of the first Pushkin Prize to Fet for the complete translation of Horace. The methodology presented in this article for the study of Solovyov's approach to Fet's lyrics, as well as his general theoretical calculations about the essence of lyrics as such, are based on the possibilities of logical and semantic contextual analysis of the utterance. The novelty of the research consists in the fact that for the first time the problem of actualization by Solovyov of the dialectic of such properties as "subjectivity" / "objectivity", "singularity" / "multiplicity", "completeness" / "openness", "form" / "content" when reading Fet's poetry is considered. It is shown that in Solovyov's article "On lyrical poetry" this method is used in the disclosure of various aspects. It is argued that the interaction of the properties of "completeness" and "openness" in Solovyov's presentation of general theoretical issues related to the problem of defining poetry allows the philosopher to deduce the definition of "pure lyrics". It is concluded that Solovyov's analysis of the thematic range of Fet's lyrics and his study of the formal features of poetry are based on dialectical principles, which makes it possible to correlate the philosopher's approach with the hermeneutic tradition.

This paper presents the application of a data-driven method for turbulence modeling. The main aim is to enhance the prediction capabilities of an existing Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) model for laminar separation bubbles. The recently developed field inversion method has been chosen to infer corrections to the shear stress transport [Formula: see text] turbulence model. An innovative approach has been proposed to reduce the computational cost of the modeling procedure. The objective function makes use of the friction coefficient to compare data coming from the RANS model with reference large-eddy simulation data available in the literature. The performed test cases responded well to the optimization procedure which provided a correction field that boosts the turbulent kinetic energy within the bubble. The proposed procedure is the necessary building block to define a new turbulence model able to overcome the present limitations in simulating laminar separation bubbles.

Published: November 2023

Retroviruses like HIV-1 enter the nucleus of immune cells to infect people, but it has been unclear how a relatively large virus can pass through the nuclear envelope or its small nuclear pores. We found a previously unknown pathway of entry, in which a virus-containing package causes invaginations to form in the nuclear envelope. Our work reveals new drug targets for limiting viral infections.
