Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT In the present study, the relationship between somatic cell counts (SCC) and composition (total solids, fat, protein and lactose content) of milk from individual Holstein cows was investigated in two different farms. Farm A had 43 lactating cows and produced bulk milk with mean SCC below 500,000 cells/mL. Farm B had 38 lactating cows that produced bulk milk with SCC usually above 1,000,000 cells/mL. Milk samples were collected three times from all lactating cows in both farms, with 60-day intervals between collections. Milks from farm A presented mean SCC levels that ranged from 143,000 to 549,000 cells/mL, while counts in farm B ranged from 1,187,000 to 3,432,000 cells/mL. SCC produced positive correlations (p < 0.05) only with protein content in farm A. A significant negative relationship (p < 0.05) was observed between log SCC and total solids and lactose in farm B. The results indicate that SCC of individual cow’s milk significantly correlate with a decrease in milk constituents only under conditions of average SCC in bulked milk above 1,000,000 cells/mL.

Resumo Objetivo Investigar a prevalência de polifarmácia e os seus fatores associados no espaço da Atenção Primária à Saúde em Caicó (RN, Brasil). Método Trata-se de um estudo de prevalência de abordagem quantitativa com amostra final de 295 pessoas idosas. Resultados A prevalência de polifarmácia foi de 22%. A maioria dos participantes tinha entre 60 e 79 anos (76%), cor parda (50,5%), era casada (43,1%), ensino fundamental incompleto (60,3%) e renda entre um e três salários-mínimos (74,2%). Os fármacos mais utilizados foram os bloqueadores dos receptores de angiotensina (26,1%), as estatinas (20,3%) e os diuréticos tiazídicos (19,3%). O modelo de regressão logística multivariada mostrou que a polifarmácia se associa com diabetes mellitus, hipertensão arterial sistêmica, transtorno de ansiedade generalizada, gastrite, insuficiência cardíaca, doença arterial coronariana e idade acima de 80 anos. Conclusão A polifarmácia é uma condição de alta prevalência, fortemente associada ao aumento da idade, do tipo e do número de comorbidades. A problemática aponta para a necessidade de fortalecer ações e políticas de promoção da saúde, educação profissional permanente, fortalecimento do trabalho em equipe e prestação de cuidado longitudinal e em rede, em vista do risco iatrogênico do uso de muitos medicamentos por parte dos idosos.

Published: June 2024

El propósito de esta investigación fue emplear las controversias sociocientíficas (QSV) como una herramienta pedagógica para fomentar la argumentación basada en evidencia y el pensamiento crítico en la enseñanza del cambio climático, dentro de un grupo de 19 estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Pedagogía de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, Unidad 141. Para alcanzar este objetivo, se desarrolló una secuencia didáctica enfocada en el cambio climático y se realizó un análisis descriptivo-explicativo de las evidencias escritas presentadas por los estudiantes. Los resultados indican que la mayoría de los alumnos fundamentan sus argumentos en creencias o ideas personales, mostrando generalmente una argumentación débil y con limitados recursos bibliográficos. Las controversias sociocientíficas demostraron ser una estrategia eficaz para evaluar la capacidad argumentativa de los estudiantes y promover el pensamiento crítico en la toma de decisiones. En consecuencia, se recomienda y resulta imprescindible comenzar a integrar estas herramientas desde edades tempranas.
Агентное моделирование коллективного принятия решений в малой группе: роль формального лидера
Authors: Агафонов Антон Александрович , Пономарев Андрей Васильевич
Published: June 2024

Агентное моделирование является перспективным инструментом исследования коллективного поведения и обладает высоким потенциалом для повышения эффективности групповой работы. С помощью агентных моделей может решаться целый ряд задач поддержки групповой работы, включая подбор состава команды, формирование рекомендаций протоколов работы и многие другие. В статье предлагается агентная модель для исследования влияния характеристик формального лидера на работу группы при коллективном принятии решений. Сама задача моделируется как максимизация некоторой «сложной» функции, осуществляемая совместно группой агентов. Каждый агент может исследовать проблемное пространство самостоятельно и сообщать другим агентам о результатах такого поиска. Консолидированное групповое решение формируется и уточняется на основе индивидуальных результатов, полученных агентами, при этом в моделируемом протоколе особую роль играет результат формального лидера группы. С помощью вычислительного эксперимента оцениваются влияние собственных поисковых способностей («интеллекта») лидера, его предрасположенности к коммуникации («разговорчивости») и степени влияния на эффективность группового решения. Результаты моделирования показали, что в рамках используемого протокола согласования в случае, когда степень влияния лидера ограничена, его низкие поисковые способности не оказывают существенного воздействия на эффективность находимого группой решения. В случае высокого влияния — появляется риск принятия неэффективных решений. Сам по себе полученный результат хорошо согласуется с практикой и является достаточно интуитивным. Однако, более важно то, что он показывает, что даже достаточно простые агентные модели позволяют исследовать особенности групповой работы и могут быть использованы для оценки протоколов такой работы, формирования правил совершения коллективных действий и, в целом, для поддержки эффективной работы групп.

Published: June 2024

В сложившихся геополитических условиях, в условиях введенных экономических санкций в отношении Росси назревает объективная потребность формирования стратегического плана развития как всей экономики в целом, так и определенных ее отраслей. Для стратегического планирования возможно использование различных методов и инструментов. Одним из методов стратегического планирования является программно-целевой метод планирования, который зарекомендовал себя, как эффективный метод форсайта. Можно говорить о провалах плановой деятельности, но данные провалы были связаны не с недоработками и применением научно-обоснованных методов планирования, а с эффективностью управленческого аппарата, который принимал решения. Необходимо отметить, что именно в период применения научно-обоснованных методов планирования нашей стране удалось сформировать и развить промышленное производство разных отраслей, и вопрос импортозамещения не стоял тогда, так как на всех предприятиях были представлены все этапы жизненного цикла продукции. В настоящее время перед страной стоит проблема стратегического развития в условиях введенных экономических санкций. Объемы санкций с каждым днем возрастают и можно лишь предполагать будущие введенные ограничения. Поэтому возникает потребность прогнозирования деятельности на уровне всей страны, отдельных отраслей и предприятий. Одним из таких методов является метод когнитивного моделирования, основанного на нечеткой логике. В последние годы когнитивный подход все чаще применяется в управлении социальноэкономическими системами как внутри страны, так и за рубежом. Этот подход включает использование когнитивных принципов и методов для понимания поведения отдельных лиц в системе, а также взаимодействий и циклов обратной связи между различными компонентами. В данной статье проводится ретроспективный анализ применения когнитивного метода в моделировании. Рассматриваются информационные системы, которые разработаны в нашей стране для реализации задач когнитивного моделирования. И делается оценка существующих программных продуктов. Также представлены теоретические материалы по когнитивному подходу в моделировании с целью понимания применения данного инструментария для моделирования социально-экономических систем с использованием элементов нечеткой логики. Материал статьи может быть полезен начинающим специалистам в области когнитивного моделирования.
Автоматическое распознавание автомобильных номеров в видеоряде: адаптация алгоритмов для смартфона
Authors: Абрамов Максим Викторович , Ельцов Даниил Андреевич
Published: June 2024

В данной области уже проведено немало исследований, и предложены различные модели, решающие задачу распознавания автомобильных номеров, есть промышленные образцы, используемые на камерах фиксации нарушений правил дорожного движения. Однако, такие модели обычно разработаны для клиент-серверных архитектур, поскольку архитектуры моделей, хорошо решающих данную задачу, зачастую имеют сотни миллионов параметров [5] и рассчитаны для того, чтобы их обучали и применяли на машинах с большим объемом памяти и производительными видеокартами. Предметом исследования данной статьи являются автомобильные государственные номерные знаки в видеоряде плохого качества, распознаваемые в условиях ограничения на вычислительные ресурсы. Для распознавания автомобильных номеров предлагается использовать следующие методы: простые сверточные нейронные сети для определения углов таблички автомобильного номера и ее последующего поворота; предобученная модель YOLOv5s для поиска в кадре табличек автомобильных номеров и предобученная сеть SCR-Net для распознавания на табличках номерных знаков. В статье предложены алгоритм и его реализация для автоматического распознавания автомобильного номера в условиях видео плохого качества и ограниченности вычислительных ресурсов. Теоретическая значимость результата заключается в разработке нового алгоритма, учитывающего указанные ограничения, способствующего развитию серии изысканий в области разработки методов и алгоритмов, функционирующих в условиях существенных ограничений на вычислительные мощности и качество видеоряда. Практическая значимость результата заключается в приложениях результата к решению прикладных задач, таких как фиксация неправильной парковки, поиск угоняемых автомобилей, иных правонарушений.

Authors: Faridi Marzie , Izadpanah Siros
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Effective ways of acquiring a second language in an educational context undergo development in teaching and learning through e-learning, self-regulated learning, and constructivism methods of learning that would be practical and useful for EFL learners.    
Purpose: To investigate the impact of self-regulated learning, constructivism, and e-learning on English language learning and the attitudes of learners toward them.
Method: The study employs a quantitative research method involving 360 intermediate and advanced EFL learners and 34 teachers. Data were collected over a six-week period in Zanjan English language institutes using the questionnaires. The one-sample T-test compared the means, while ANOVA assessed significant differences among the variable means of E-learning, self-regulation, and constructivism in the study groups. Post-hoc LSD tests were used to compare the means of groups two by two.
Results: The results showed that the participants displayed positive attitudes toward using e-learning, self-regulation, and constructivism in acquiring a second language. Qualitative data analysis revealed EFL learners' autonomy in learning and the potential influence of teachers in shaping learners' attitudes.   
Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of considering learners' attitudes and autonomy in designing effective language learning environments. Understanding the learners' perspectives can aid educators in adopting innovative and learner-centered approaches, leading to enhanced language learning outcomes.
Scrutinizing the Relationship between Vietnamese English Majors’ Intrinsic Motivation and Perceptions Towards Five Components of the 5Ts Framework
Authors: Nguyen Thi Diem-Ha
Published: June 2024

Background: Intrinsic motivation (IM) is not far from a new research topic in English teaching. However, the relationship between this learning construct and the 5Ts framework, proposed by Renandya (2014) as a teacher-induced motivational agent, has not been explored.
Purpose: This work scrutinised the relationship between IM and perceptions towards five components of the 5Ts framework in an attempt to provide a simple means for effective teaching 
Method: 110 English majors responded to a self-questionnaire containing two scales measuring IM and perceptions towards the 5Ts as a motivational agent. Besides descriptive statistics and Cronbach’s alpha, the present study employed other necessary techniques, such as Pearson’s correlation and regression, to analyse the obtained data to draw results which had pedagogical implications.    
Results: The research questionnaire reached acceptable reliability, and the students expressed positive levels of IM and perceptions of the 5Ts framework. The results also revealed a positive relationship between these two variables, and students’ perceptions of the 5Ts components predicted their IM. 
Conclusion: The findings support the hypothesis that the 5Ts framework enhances motivation. In addition, the teacher might need an added approach to enhance the learning motivation in the students with low levels, parallel with the 5Ts implementation for the entire class.

Authors: Prihandoko Lastika Ary , Morganna Ruly , Nugrah Amalia Suci
Published: June 2024

Background: Various studies have highlighted the theoretical roles of growth mindset, self-efficacy, and metacognition in academic writing. However, the clarity regarding which variables act as mediators in this context remains underexplored.
Purpose: This study investigates how self-efficacy and metacognition mediate the effects of a growth mindset on academic writing performance among EFL students. It aims to clarify the mediating roles of these variables, directing the development of four research hypotheses and a conceptual model.
Method: The study employed a structural equation modelling (SEM) method using the PLS-SEM analysis. Participants included 464 EFL undergraduate students from 28 provinces in Indonesia, who were working on their theses. They completed a series of valid and reliable scales online.
Results: Analysis revealed that growth mindset significantly influences self-efficacy for ideation and metacognition. Further, self-efficacy in ideation, convention, and self-regulation, along with metacognition, effectively mediated the relationship between growth mindset and academic writing performance.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that growth mindset significantly impacts academic writing performance through its influence on self-efficacy and metacognition. This underscores the importance of these mediators in enhancing academic writing competence. Consequently, EFL writing lecturers and thesis supervisors should focus on interventions that strengthen these attributes. Future research should continue to explore effective strategies to enhance metacognition and self-efficacy, thereby contributing to the broader field of EFL education.

Authors: Liu Meihua , Li Tianhao
Published: June 2024

Background: Second language (L2) learning is complex, multifaceted, and greatly influenced by various factors, of which individual factors like anxiety and motivation are important ones. Though anxiety and motivation have been shown to be strongly correlated with each other and interact with other variables to collaboratively affect L2 learning, mixed findings have been revealed, demonstrating the complexity of the interrelationship between L2 anxiety and motivation and their interactive effects on L2 learning.
Purpose: Guided by the self-determination theory, this study aimed to explore the levels of and the relationship between English classroom anxiety and motivation as well as their predictive effects on Chinese undergraduate EFL (English as a foreign language) learners’ English achievement.
Method: The participants were 571 Chinese university students who answered an 8-item English Classroom Anxiety Scale, a 35-item English Learning Motivation Scale, and a 5-item Demographic Information Questionnaire. They also reported their scores in tests that they had recently taken and self-rated their overall English proficiency as indicators of their English achievement.
Results: The study revealed the following major findings: (a) the participants had a small to moderate level of English classroom anxiety, and a medium level of intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, personal goals and expectancy/control in English learning, (b) English classroom anxiety was significantly negatively correlated with all motivation scales, (c) English classroom anxiety was not only significantly negatively related to but negatively predicted the students’ English achievement, and (d) significantly positive correlations existed between English learning motivation and English achievement. Of different motivation dimensions, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation positively predicted the latter.
Conclusion: The findings of this study further demonstrate the importance of anxiety and motivation in L2 learning and the need to explore anxiety-reduction strategies, increase students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and strengthen their expectancy in L2 teaching and learning, thus contributing to the understanding of foreign language anxiety and L2 motivation and enriching the current literature on the two issues.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: The research in this paper was adapted to provide insight into the expectations, prejudices, and openness of higher education students of the University of Prishtina to the inclusion of literary material in the teaching/learning of English and French as a second foreign language (FL2). Simultaneously, as the modern and technologically developed world requires, the paper deals with the opinion on the contribution of appealing teaching material and technology aids in the acceptance of literary works (LWs) in foreign language learning (FLL).
Purpose: Apart from some excerpts in the course books, LW inclusion in foreign language learning (FLL) is almost non-existent in the Kosovo education system. Through this study, we concurrently aim to raise the awareness of the students of the advantages that literary works can bring into the foreign language classroom incurring learner-centred teaching/learning, progression of critical thinking and judgment skills as well as sharing experiences and opinions through non-linear and more spontaneous manner.
Method: In this study, 69 respondents are freshmen at the University of Prishtina (UP), Faculty of Philology who are mainly future teachers of foreign languages and elected English and French language as their FL2. The method used in this paper consists of quantitative and qualitative approaches aiming for a more thorough analysis through the SPSS statistical computer program and descriptive statistics.
Conclusion: The findings revealed that the students have a positive approach to the merge of LWs and foreign language learning, less through printed LWs and more through digitized literature. Hence, applying the merging of literature with language, in the new pedagogical practices and English/French language curricula can be optimistic expectations.
Significance: The significance of the study lies in the fact that this under-investigated issue can help in creating insight into the current condition in FL classrooms and help FL curriculum changes in the Kosovo middle and upper high schools as well as higher education FL course curriculum. This study raises hope for merging language and literature in FL classrooms.

The aim was to analyze the characteristics of the finalist shots, through the validated OASP (Observation instrument for the analysis of the smash in padel), instrument, according to their effectiveness in men´s professional padel. For this, 880 finalist smashes corresponding to 20 male matches of the Premier Padel Major tournament played in Qatar during the 2023 season were analyzed, carrying out a descriptive and inferential analysis. The results indicate that 73.18% of the final smashes are winners, while only 26.82% of the final smashes are errors. In addition, the winning finalist smashes are made from the zones close to the net (zones 3 (RTC=4.9) and 4 (RTC=5.3)) and to a lesser extent from the middle zones of the court (zones 2 (RTC=2.6). and 5 (RTC=2.6)) and are usually flat (RTC=8.4), parallel (RTC=5.4) and ending X3 (RTC=6.2) or X4 (RTC=5.0). While the finalist smashes that end in error are usually made from the end zones of the court (zones 1 (RTC=8.9) and 6 (RTC=6.7)) and are usually slice (RTC=11.9), crossed (RTC=5.4) and that end in their own court (they stay in the net; RTC=3.9) or opposite court (the ball hits the glass or the fence directly; RTC=3.5). Thus, padel players should know these results to perform effective shots in real competition situations to promote success in the match.
Alternative green wall materials
Authors: Gaćina Nikolina
Published: June 2024

Spray drying is still the most significant method for polyphenols encapsulation, which offers numerous advantages such as facilitating the handling of unstable polyphenols from liquid extracts, improving their solubility, and enhancing stability, degradation protection, controlling or delaying the release, and masking unappealing tastes or odours. The selection of the most suitable wall material is one of the most challenging tasks. Over the past decade, there has been a growing trend toward using new types of wall materials for polyphenols encapsulation by spray drying, either as additional compounds or as complete substitutes for traditional wall materials. This review aims to present the properties and applications of such alternative green wall materials. The term “alternative green” refers to the origin of materials derived from by-products and waste.

Equipment maintenance is a key aspect to maximize its availability. The present work focuses on data analysis of a screw conveyor of a biomass industry. The screw velocity and load were monitored and analysed, in order to detect and predict possible faults. A machine learning approach was used to detect anomalies, where different algorithms were tested with the data available, in order to train an anomaly classifier. The anomaly classifier was able to accurately identify most anomalies, based on historical data, temporal patterns and information of the maintenance interventions performed. The research carried out allowed to conclude that the Extra Trees Classifier algorithm achieved the best performance, among all algorithms tested, with 0.7974 F-score in the test set. The anomaly classifier has been shown to achieve remarkable accuracy in identifying anomalies. This research not only improves understanding of the performance of screw conveyors in biomass industries, but also highlights the practical utility of employing machine learning for proactive fault detection.

Published: June 2024

In this research, an experimental study is presented, which extends the usage of eddy current and load sensors in progressive stamping tools to optimize and continuously monitor the stamping process. The purpose of the research was to automatically detect material scrap before it leaves imprints on the part and based on the sensor’s readings, determine the optimal tool bottom position. The scrap thickness that needs to be detected was established in an experiment by visual evaluation of the result. To determine the optimal bottom position, a linear regression method was used, and the results were evaluated by part quality parameter. The research results consist of separate detection steps and the conclusion was made only after the serial type production. Overall results of scrap detection were influenced by the design of the existing tool. The bottom position detection consists of various readings interpretations and multi-step method descriptions. Based on the acquired results of both methods, implementing the in–die sensors was considered successful and applicable to new tools.

Blackberry is an important species among small fruits that have gained prominence in recent years in family farming in Brazil's southern and southeastern regions. Due to the lack of efficient methods in vegetative propagation, there is a need for exogenous application of growth regulators to promote root development. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of indole butyric acid (IBA) and paclobutrazol (PBZ) on the rooting of stem cuttings of blackberry cv. Tupy. The cuttings were prepared with a length of 10 cm and planted in 114 cm3 tubes containing medium-sized vermiculite as substrate and conducted in a greenhouse with intermittent misting. The treatments consisted of three concentrations of IBA (500; 1,000 and 2,000 mg L-1) and PBZ (100, 200, and 400 mg mL-1) in addition to the control treatment. A completely randomized experimental design was used in a 4×4 factorial scheme, with three replicates and 10 cuttings per experimental unit. After 120 days, the percentages of rooted cuttings, callus formation, alive, dead, and sprouted cuttings, shoot length, number, length, and fresh weight of roots were evaluated. The use of plant hormones did not have a favorable effect on the propagation of blackberry cv. Tupy through stem cuttings, with inhibition of rooting observed.

Published: June 2024

The cape gooseberry is an Andean fruit with significant nutritional and export potential in various international markets. The climacteric metabolism in cape gooseberry fruits results in a short post-harvest life, posing a threat to the commercialization of the fruits. Therefore, techniques are being explored to prolong the quality of the fruit. Hydrocooling (HC) and applying CaCl2 are efficient tools to enhance refrigerated storage in horticultural products. The impact of hydrocooling, CaCl2 application, and refrigeration at 4°C on the physical and chemical characteristics of cape gooseberry fruits during postharvest storage was assessed. Fruits subjected to HC exhibited reduced respiratory rate (RR) at harvest, quickly eliminating field heat. During postharvest, refrigeration extended the storage life of cape gooseberry fruits from 19 to 33 d. Fruits treated with HC, refrigeration, and CaCl2 (1%) demonstrated low mass loss, RR, and color index values. Additionally, they exhibited low pH values; however, this application did not significantly affect the maturity relationship. The application of CaCl2 did not affect total soluble solids (TSS), but TSS levels were influenced by HC with refrigeration, maintaining high levels until the end of storage. Therefore, it is recommended to apply HC, refrigeration (4°C), and 1% CaCl2 to cape gooseberry fruits, as this combination delays ripening and preserves post-harvest quality.
