Sustainable Construction and Financing—Asset-Backed Securitization of Expressway’s Usufruct with Redeemable Rights
Authors: Zhang Qiming , Tjia Linda Yin-nor , Wang Biyue , Ersoy Aksel
Published: August 2021

Asset-backed securitization will greatly promote the sustainability of infrastructure construction and financing. However, there are quite limited researches conducted in this field. Given the project characteristics of infrastructure project securities, this paper proposes the issuance steps of redeemable asset-backed notes (ABN) based on the infrastructure project’s usufruct as the basic asset. Taking the expressway franchise as an example, the issuing scale and coupon rate of the redeemable ABN are determined by the expected cash flow of the expressway, the term structure of random interest rates, and the option-adjusted spread (OAS). In addition, this research analyzes the duration, convexity, and OAS.

Published: August 2021

Microalgae are one of the most promising sources of renewable substrates used for energy purposes. Biomass and components accumulated in their cells can be used to produce a wide range of biofuels, but the profitability of their production is still not at a sufficient level. Significant costs are generated, i.a., during the cultivation of microalgae, and are connected with providing suitable culture conditions. This study aims to evaluate the possibility of using sodium bicarbonate as an inexpensive alternative CO2 source in the culture of Chlorella vulgaris, promoting not only the increase of microalgae biomass production but also lipid accumulation. The study was carried out at technical scale using 100 L photobioreactors. Gravimetric and spectrophotometric methods were used to evaluate biomass growth. Lipid content was determined using a mixture of chloroform and methanol according to the Blight and Dyer method, while the carbon content and CO2 fixation rate were measured according to the Walkley and Black method. In batch culture, even a small addition of bicarbonate resulted in a significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase in the amount of biomass, productivity and optical density compared to non-bicarbonate cultures. At 2.0 g∙L–1, biomass content was 572 ± 4 mg·L−1, the maximum productivity was 7.0 ± 1.0 mg·L–1·d–1, and the optical density was 0.181 ± 0.00. There was also an increase in the lipid content (26 ± 4%) and the carbon content in the biomass (1322 ± 0.062 g∙dw–1), as well as a higher rate of carbon dioxide fixation (0.925 ± 0.073 g·L–1·d–1). The cultivation of microalgae in enlarged scale photobioreactors provides a significant technological challenge. The obtained results can be useful to evaluate the efficiency of biomass and valuable cellular components production in closed systems realized at industrial scale.
Environmental Consciousness of Entrepreneurs in Ghana: How Do Entrepreneur Types, Demographic Characteristics and Product Competitiveness Count?
Authors: Bawakyillenuo Simon , Agbelie Innocent Sefa Komla
Published: August 2021

Businesses are believed to be partly responsible for upsetting the balance of local biodiversity through activities that degrade the environment. Critically, entrepreneurship is increasingly being cited as a key sector that can bring about sustainable transformation in production and distribution. Ghana’s total entrepreneurial activity rate is estimated at 37%, with businesses operating unsustainably. Meanwhile, little has been explored empirically on the factors that influence businesses’ sensitivity to the environment in Ghana. Using the 2013 GEM data in estimating seven different logic regression models coupled with a qualitative analysis, this paper fills the gap by investigating how the demographic and entrepreneurial characteristics of entrepreneurs in Ghana influence their environmental consciousness. The empirical evidence suggests that education fosters environmental consciousness, while owner-manager and female entrepreneurs as well as rural locality entrepreneurs in Ghana tend to be more environmentally sensitive. The qualitative data also revealed general concerns for the environment as motivating factors for entrepreneurs to be more environmentally conscious. The findings therefore draw attention to the inadequate focus on green entrepreneurship in Ghana. Embarking on educational campaigns to promote the adherence to environmental regulations by all businesses, especially those in urban areas, could help build a robust eco-preneurship landscape in Ghana.
Intuitionistic Fuzzy (IF) Overlap Functions and IF-Rough Sets with Applications
Authors: Wen Xiaofeng , Zhang Xiaohong , Lei Tao
Published: August 2021

Overlap function (which has symmetry and continuity) is widely used in image processing, data classification, and multi-attribute decision making problems. In recent years, theoretical research on overlap function has been extended to interval valued overlap function and lattice valued overlap function, but intuitionistic fuzzy overlap function (IF-overlap function) has not been studied. In this paper, the concept of IF-overlap function is proposed for the first time, then the generating method of IF-overlap function is given. The representable IF-overlap function is defined, and the concrete examples of representable and unrepresentable IF-overlap functions are given. Moreover, a new class of intuitionistic fuzzy rough set (IF-roght set) model is proposed by using IF-overlap function and its residual implication, which extends the IF-rough set model based on intuitionistic fuzzy triangular norm, and the basic properties of the new intuitionistic fuzzy upper and lower approximate operators are analyzed and studied. At the same time, the established IF-rough set based on IF-overlap function is applied to MCDM (multi-criteria decision-making) problems, the intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method is improved. Through the comparative analysis of some cases, the new method is proved to be flexible and effective.
On the Parallel Subgradient Extragradient Rule for Solving Systems of Variational Inequalities in Hadamard Manifolds
Authors: Wang Chun-Yan , Ceng Lu-Chuan , He Long , Hu Hui-Ying , Zhao Tu-Yan , Wang Dan-Qiong , Fan Hong-Ling
Published: August 2021

In a Hadamard manifold, let the VIP and SVI represent a variational inequality problem and a system of variational inequalities, respectively, where the SVI consists of two variational inequalities which are of symmetric structure mutually. This article designs two parallel algorithms to solve the SVI via the subgradient extragradient approach, where each algorithm consists of two parts which are of symmetric structure mutually. It is proven that, if the underlying vector fields are of monotonicity, then the sequences constructed by these algorithms converge to a solution of the SVI. We also discuss applications of these algorithms for approximating solutions to the VIP. Our theorems complement some recent and important ones in the literature.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide, and its incidence is correlated with infections, chronic inflammation, diet, and genetic factors. An emerging aspect is that microbial dysbiosis and chronic infections triggered by certain bacteria can be risk factors for tumor progression. Recent data suggest that certain bacterial toxins implicated in DNA attack or in proliferation, replication, and death can be risk factors for insurgence and progression of CRC. In this study, we recruited more than 300 biopsy specimens from people undergoing colonoscopy, and we analyzed to determine whether a correlation exists between the presence of bacterial genes coding for toxins possibly involved in CRC onset and progression and the different stages of CRC. We also analyzed to determine whether CRC-predisposing genetic factors could contribute to bacterial toxins response. Our results showed that CIF toxin is associated with polyps or adenomas, whereas pks+ seems to be a predisposing factor for CRC. Toxins from Escherichia coli as a whole have a higher incidence rate in adenocarcinoma patients compared to controls, whereas Bacteroides fragilis toxin does not seem to be associated with pre-cancerous nor with cancerous lesions. These results have been obtained irrespectively of the presence of CRC-risk loci.
Polyadic Braid Operators and Higher Braiding Gates
Authors: Duplij Steven , Vogl Raimund
Published: August 2021

A new kind of quantum gates, higher braiding gates, as matrix solutions of the polyadic braid equations (different from the generalized Yang–Baxter equations) is introduced. Such gates lead to another special multiqubit entanglement that can speed up key distribution and accelerate algorithms. Ternary braiding gates acting on three qubit states are studied in detail. We also consider exotic non-invertible gates, which can be related with qubit loss, and define partial identities (which can be orthogonal), partial unitarity, and partially bounded operators (which can be non-invertible). We define two classes of matrices, star and circle ones, such that the magic matrices (connected with the Cartan decomposition) belong to the star class. The general algebraic structure of the introduced classes is described in terms of semigroups, ternary and 5-ary groups and modules. The higher braid group and its representation by the higher braid operators are given. Finally, we show, that for each multiqubit state, there exist higher braiding gates that are not entangling, and the concrete conditions to be non-entangling are given for the obtained binary and ternary gates.
Characterisation and Distribution of Karaka Ōkahu Purepure Virus—A Novel Emaravirus Likely to Be Endemic to New Zealand
Authors: Rabbidge Lee O. , Blouin Arnaud G. , Chooi Kar Mun , Higgins Colleen M. , MacDiarmid Robin M.
Published: August 2021

We report the first emaravirus on an endemic plant of Aotearoa New Zealand that is, to the best of our knowledge, the country’s first endemic virus characterised associated with an indigenous plant. The new-to-science virus was identified in the endemic karaka tree (Corynocarpus laevigatus), and is associated with chlorotic leaf spots, and possible feeding sites of the monophagous endemic karaka gall mite. Of the five negative-sense RNA genomic segments that were fully sequenced, four (RNA 1–4) had similarity to other emaraviruses while RNA 5 had no similarity with other viral proteins. A detection assay developed to amplify any of the five RNAs in a single assay was used to determine the distribution of the virus. The virus is widespread in the Auckland area, particularly in mature trees at Ōkahu Bay, with only occasional reports elsewhere in the North Island. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that its closest relatives are pear chlorotic leaf spot-associated virus and chrysanthemum mosaic-associated virus, which form a unique clade within the genus Emaravirus. Based on the genome structure, we propose this virus to be part of the family Emaravirus, but with less than 50% amino acid similarity to the closest relatives in the most conserved RNA 1, it clearly is a novel species. In consultation with mana whenua (indigenous Māori authority over a territory and its associated treasures), we propose the name Karaka Ōkahu purepure virus in te reo Māori (the Māori language) to reflect the tree from which it was isolated (karaka), a place where the virus is prevalent (Ōkahu), and the spotted symptom (purepure, pronounced pooray pooray) that this endemic virus appears to cause.
Factors Governing Biodegradability of Dissolved Natural Organic Matter in Lake Water
Authors: Crapart Camille , Andersen Tom , Hessen Dag Olav , Valiente Nicolas , Vogt Rolf David
Published: August 2021

Dissolved Natural Organic Matter (DNOM) is a heterogeneous mixture of partly degraded, oxidised and resynthesised organic compounds of terrestrial or aquatic origin. In the boreal biome, it plays a central role in element cycling and practically all biogeochemical processes governing the physico-chemistry of surface waters. Because it plays a central role in multiple aquatic processes, especially microbial respiration, an improved understanding of the biodegradability of the DNOM in surface water is needed. Here the current study, we used a relatively cheap and non-laborious analytical method to determine the biodegradability of DNOM, based on the rate and the time lapse at which it is decomposed. This was achieved by monitoring the rate of oxygen consumption during incubation with addition of nutrients. A synoptic method study, using a set of lake water samples from southeast Norway, showed that the maximum respiration rate (RR) and the normalised RR (respiration rate per unit of carbon) of the DNOM in the lakes varied significantly. This RR is conceived as a proxy for the biodegradability of the DNOM. The sUVa of the DNOM and the C:N ratio were the main predictors of the RR. This implies that the biodegradability of DNOM in these predominantly oligotrophic and dystrophic lake waters was mainly governed by their molecular size and aromaticity, in addition to its C:N ratio in the same manner as found for soil organic matter. The normalised RR (independently of the overall concentration of DOC) was predicted by the molecular weight and by the origin of the organic matter. The duration of the first phase of rapid biodegradation of the DNOM (BdgT) was found to be higher in lakes with a mixture of autochthonous and allochthonous DNOM, in addition to the amount of biodegradable DNOM.

Published: August 2021

Water is life, and without water, there would be no civilizations and a vacant Earth. Water is considered an abundant natural resource on the earth. Water covers 3/4 of the surface. However, 97% of the available water on the earth is salty oceanic water, and only a tiny fraction (3%) is freshwater. This small portion of the available water supplies the needs of humans and animals. However, freshwater exists in underground, rivers, and lakes and is insufficient to cover all the world’s water demands. Thus, water saving, water reuse, rainwater harvesting, stormwater utilization, and desalination are critical for maintaining water supplies for the future of humanity. Desalination has a long history spanning centuries from ancient times to the present. In the last two decades, desalination has been rapidly expanding to meet water needs in stressed water regions of the world. Yet, there are still some problems with its implementation in several areas of the world. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of the history of desalination for wiser and smarter water extraction and uses to sustain and support the water needs of the earth’s inhabitants.

Published: August 2021

Key Points

d-serine has a physiologic activity, besides its reported function as a biomarker of kidney disease.

The plasma level of d-serine increases due to reduced urinary excretion from kidney in human living kidney donors.

The increased level of d-serine, in turn, promotes kidney remodeling through mTOR for the functional compensation of decreased kidney function.

Background

d-serine, a long-term undetected enantiomer of serine, is a biomarker that reflects kidney function and disease activity. The physiologic functions of d-serine are unclear.

Methods

The dynamics of d-serine were assessed by measuring d-serine in human samples of living kidney donors using two-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatography, and by autoradiographic studies in mice. The effects of d-serine on the kidney were examined by gene expression profiling and metabolic studies using unilateral nephrectomy mice, and genetically modified cells.

Results

Unilateral nephrectomy in human living kidney donors decreases urinary excretion and thus increases the blood level of d-serine. d-serine is quickly and dominantly distributed to the kidney on injection in mice, suggesting the kidney is a main target organ. Treatment of d-serine at a low dose promotes the enlargement of remnant kidney in mouse model. Mechanistically, d-serine activates the cell cycle for tissue remodeling through an mTOR-related pathway.

Conclusions

d-serine is a physiologic molecule that promotes kidney remodeling. Besides its function as a biomarker, d-serine has a physiologic activity that influences kidney function.

Genellikle söz sanatları ya da anlam değişmeleri içerisinde ele alınan metafor, bir kavramın yerine benzerlik, analoji, yakınlaştırma, çağrışım, karşılaştırma vb. ilişkilere dayalı olarak başka bir kavramın kullanılması biçiminde tarif edilir. Dilin zihinsel gücünü gösteren metaforlar, kaynak bakımından dilsel olmakla birlikte dili aşan bir yapı göstererek düşünceyi ve zihinsel süreçleri de kapsamaktadır. Sosyal ve kültürel ögelerin etkisi bağlamında her dilin metafor üretme kapasitesi vardır. Çağdaş metafor anlayışı çerçevesinde George Lakoff ve Mark Johnson tarafından geliştirilen kavramsal metafor kuramında dilin soyutlamaya dayalı oluşturduğu sistemle insanların dünyayı algılayış biçimleri arasında koşutluk bulunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda toplumların değişim ve dönüşümlerini, süreklilik ve kırılmalarını metaforlar aracılığıyla çözümlemek mümkündür. Konuya -yazınsal metinler özelinde- Türk kültürü açısından yaklaştığımızda Türk dili yadigârlarının sunduğu metafor dünyasından yola çıkarak Türk kültürünün gelişim çizgisini ve Türk düşünce sistemini takip etmek mümkün görünmektedir. Bu makalede, belirtilen tasarım ve amaç doğrultusunda Türk edebiyatında çoban, koyun ve kurt metaforlarının siyasi bir figür olarak gelişimi üzerinde durulmuş; bu metaforlara siyasi bir içeriğe sahip olma sürecinde hangi anlamların yüklendikleri, yazınsal metinlerin sunduğu malzemeler ışığında değerlendirilmiştir. Bu noktada eski Türk yazıtlarından yola çıkılmış ve Batı Türkçesinin ilk halkasını oluşturan Eski Anadolu Türkçesi metinlerini içine alacak şekilde bir sınır belirlenmiştir.

Elements of the Concept of National Security Management
Authors: Wróblewski Ryszard
Published: August 2021

The aim of the article was to identify the subject areas related to the management of the proposals of some elements and to propose the concept of managing Poland's national security for the purposes of developing the act on national security management announced in the National Security Strategy of the Republic of Poland-2020. The main research problem was the question: What key elements and solutions should be included in the concept of national security management for the purpose of developing a draft act on national security management? The following hypothesis was adopted: The national security system should form a coherent, in terms of organization and functionality, system of interrelated management and executive bodies. Unfortunately, the existing national security system of the Republic of Poland does not fully meet the above requirements, which has already been signaled many times, for example during successive strategic national security reviews and strategic defense reviews. Moreover, the concept of national security management should, in particular, specify the answers to the following questions: 1) What is contemporary national security? 2) What is national security management? 3) What are the key challenges facing national security management? 4) What is the role of policy and strategy in national security management? 5) What should be the architecture of the national security management system during the war. The verification of the above hypothesis and answering the above questions required a critical analysis of legal acts, strategic documents and selected items of literature on the subject. The results of the author's many years of research in this area were also taken into account.

Published: August 2021

Background: Our study aimed to assess the Covid-19 perception of adolescents who admitted to child psychiatry outpatients and their compliance with preventive measures. In addition, we evaluated whether there was an increase in the psychological distress of the participants during the pandemic. Materials and Methods: A study invitation and a questionnaire link were sent to the parents of 12-18 years old adolescents who applied to child and adolescent psychiatry outpatients for any reason in the 3-month period before the Covid-19 pandemic onset. Between April-May 2020, 32 girls and 21 boys filled the online survey. The survey included the Childhood Depression Inventory and The Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders and questions for obtaining sociodemographic data, questions about adolescents' perception of Covid-19 infection and questions asking about whether there was an increase in their psychological distress. Results: 66% of the adolescents perceived Covid-19 as a health threat, 60.4% reported that they were obeying Covid-19 preventive measures. 30.4% were using a mask, 90.6% were covering their mouth and nose while sneezing, and 94.3% were paying attention to social distance. While the use of immune system support products was found to be statistically significantly higher in female adolescents (x2=6.359; p=0.017), there was no difference in terms of other health behaviors. 32.1% of the adolescents reported an increase in complaints that caused them to refer to child psychiatry outpatients. The diagnostic status or the anxiety or depression level of the adolescents were not found to influence their compliance. Conclusion: The study results showed the adolescents, who had child psychiatry outpatient referral history in the pre-pandemic period and had higher levels of psychiatric complaints than the general community, complied Covid-19 precautions at a moderate-good level. Also, about a third of them experienced an increase in their application complaints.

Amaç: Kadın üreme sağlığını doğrudan etkileyen genital hijyen davranışları ve cinsel yaşam kalitesi, Türkiye gibi geleneksel anlayışın hakim olduğu ülkelerde yeterince araştırılmamıştır. Bu çalışmada, doğurganlık dönemindeki kadınların genital hijjen ve cinsel yaşam kalitesinin tespiti ve birbirleriyle olan ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.
Materyal ve Metod: Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışmaya; Mart- Nisan 2021 tarihleri arasında müracaat eden, yaşları 15-49 yaş arası değişen 165 kadın dahil edildi. Katılımcıların sosyodemografik özellikleri değerlendirmek için 11 soru soruldu. Katılımcıların genital hijyen davranışları, 27 sorudan oluşan Genital Hijyen Davranışları Değerlendirme Envanteri ile cinsel yaşam kaliteleri ise 18 sorudan oluşan Cinsel Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği ile değerlendirildi. Anket ve ölçekler digital ortamda katılımcılara uygulandı.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 36.7±7.8 (min-max: 18-49) yıl idi. Kadınların genital hijyen davranışları envanteri puan ortalaması 57.4±11.1(ortanca:56 &min-max:30-92) ve cinsel yaşam kalitesi ölçeği puan ortalaması ise 54.6±15.3 (ortanca:55.6 & min-max:23-90) olarak bulundu. Üniversite mezunu kadınlarda, eşi üniversite mezunu olanlarda, çalışan ve ekonomik durumu iyi olanlarda, kırsal kesimde yaşayanlarda ve tek çocuğa sahip kadınlarda her iki ölçek puanları anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu (p<0.05). Genital hijyen davranışları ile cinsel yaşam kaliteleri arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir korelasyon mevcuttu (r:0.416, p<0.001).
Sonuç: Kadınların genital hijjen davranışları düşük ve cinsel yaşam kalitesi puanları orta düzeydeydi. Ayrıca her iki ölçek arasında pozitif yönde bir ilişki bulundu. Kadınlara genital hijjen konusunda eğitim verilmesi onların cinsel yaşam kalitelerini olumlu yönde etkileyebilir. Aynı zamanda çiftlere cinsel yaşamın, sağlığın önemli bir parçası olduğunu vurgulayan eğitimlerin mahremiyet koşullarını da dikkate alınarak sağlık kuruluşlarında verilmesi faydalı olabilir.

Authors: Gudaitis Adas , Prielaidaitė Karolina
Published: August 2021

Depresija yra vienas iš dažniausių psichiatrinių susir­gimų, pasitaikančių žmonių populiacijoje, stipriai pa­veikiantis gyvenimo kokybę ir darbingumą. Depresijos ligos etiologija yra sudėtinga, galutinai neišaiškinta, tu­rinti daugybę patogenezinių mechanizmų.. Pastaraisiais metais vis daugiau kalbama apie D vitamino trūkumo įtaką depresijos vystymuisi. Tyrimo tikslas − apžvelgti D vitamino reikšmę žmogaus organizmui ir išsiaiškinti, kaip jo trūkumas susijęs su depresijos ligos atsiradimu. Literatūros šaltinių paieška atlikta kompiuterinėse bibli­ografinėse mokslinių darbų bazėse PubMed ir Google Scholar, naudojant raktažodžius ir jų derinius. Anali­zei atrinkti ir išnalizuoti 23 moksliniai straipsniai an­glų kalba, atitinkantys tyrimo temą. Tyrimo rezultatai atskleidė, kad dvidešimtojo amžiaus devintajame de­šimtmetyje buvo padaryta reikšmingų neurobiologijos tyrimų, sakančių, jog D vitamino receptorių gausu CNS dalyse, glaudžiai susijusiose su depresijos patogeneze. D vitaminas riebaluose tirpus, jį žmogaus organizmas gali gauti trimis būdais: būnant apšviestam saulės, valgant specifinį maistą ir geriant D vitaminą, kaip maisto pa­pildą. Išvados: 1) vitamino D trūkumas gali būti vienas iš depresijos rizikos veiksnių; 2) patvirtinta koreliacija tarp mažos 25(OH)D koncentracijos ir padidėjusios de­presijos rizikos bei jos simptomų atsiradimo; 3) norma­laus D vitamino lygio kraujyje palaikymas gali padėti išvengti depresijos.
