Authors: Sousa Jeremias Silva de , Pereira Adriano Guimarães , Souza Hugo Manoel de , Araújo Igor Vinicius dos Santos , Nuñez Daniel Noe Coaguila
Published: April 2024

The use of drones in crop assessment has become increasingly common. The use of drones presents benefits for evaluating the height of plants in various crops, including cotton, checking nutritional, phytosanitary, genetic parameters, abiotic and biotic effects. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of drones to aid in the evaluation of trials in cotton cultivation. The study was carried out at the Goiano Institute of Agriculture, located in the municipality of Montividiu, State of Goiás, Brazil. A Phantom 4 Pro drone was used to carry out the mapping and WebODM was used to carry out photogrammetry and obtain a digital model of the surface area in the cotton field. In the experimental design, 4 randomized blocks with 10 treatments were used. The results demonstrated that there was no difference between the four blocks for vegetative index. The digital surface model proved to be efficient in detecting possible differences between the analyzed blocks. This analysis is essential to understand variations in response to cotton cultivation in different blocks and identify possible factors that contribute to these differences.

Authors: Kumakech Alfred , Turyagyenda Frank Laban
Published: April 2024

The sunflower oil seed industry is one of the promising business sectors in Uganda for both domestic and export markets. Both open-pollinated varieties and hybrids are grown in Uganda. Average yields of open-pollinated varieties in farmers’ fields range from about 750-900 kg ha-1 and hybrids about 2,000 kg/ha. For high production and productivity, sunflower requires fertilizers. The objective of this study was to establish the effects of BioNik-Phos and di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) fertilizers micro-dosing on yield of sunflower hybrid (PAN 5057) in Northern Uganda in 2021b and 2022a seasons. Field experiments were laid using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 4 replications per location in 3 locations in Alebtong District (Abako, Aloi and Angeta). There were significant (P < 0.05) differences in sunflower yields across treatments in all the three locations (Abako: 1,250-3,524 kg ha-1, Aloi: 1,274-3,488 kg ha-1 and Angeta: 1,238-3,369 kg ha-1) in 2021 with or without micro-dosing with BioNiK-Phos and DAP fertilizer. A similar trend was recorded for 2022a season (Abako: 1,268-3,500 kg ha-1, Aloi: 1,357-3,607 kg ha-1 and Angeta: 1,286-3,417 kg ha-1). The effect of DAP fertilizer micro-dosing on sunflower hybrid productivity was three folds in both years. BioNiK-Phos effect was, however, not significantly different (P < 0.05) from the control. This is the first report of the effect of BioNiK-Phos and DAP fertilizers micro-dosing of sunflower in Northern Uganda.

Intestinal ostomy is a surgical procedure that aims to change the path of effluents by externalizing part of the intestine on the surface of the abdomen. Life habits are factors that contribute to intestinal infections and inflammation, just as cancer is one of the pathologies that most often causes intestinal ostomies. This study aimed to identify, through review research, primary, infectious, inflammatory and oncological diseases that lead to intestinal infections and inflammations, as well as cancer being one of the pathologies that causes the most in ostomized individuals. A bibliographical review study of the literature with a qualitative approach of the descriptive reflective analysis type was carried out. Important points were reached under the influence of Crohn's disease and its relationship with the creation of an intestinal ostomy; Fournier syndrome related to the reason for creating an ostomy, and for colorectal cancer and the creation of an intestinal ostomy. It is concluded that patients with an intestinal ostomy, whether due to inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease, infectious diseases (Fournier Syndrome) or oncological diseases (colorectal cancer), are increasing due to modifiable factors linked to lifestyle, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, morbid obesity and poor eating habits associated with low water intake.
Characterisation of Czech Modern Mosaic Mortars
Authors:   , Bauerová Pavla
Published: April 2024

The main goal of this thesis was to characterise mosaic fixing mortars of 27 mosaics from the late 19th century to the late 20th century. The mortars were examined by SEM—EDS, XRD, light and light polarising microscopy, thermal analysis coupled with EGA-MS, FTIR and gas chromatography. The mosaics studied come from different mosaic workshops and periods but all of them relate to the present-day Czech Republic. Although the analysed set is small, some trends and preferences in the use of materials can be traced in the works of different workshops. Portable sepulchral mosaics designed by Neuhauser/ Tiroler Glasmalerei workshop, the first mosaic studio operating in the Czech Lands, follow a traditional 16th century technology – bedding mortars based on lime binder + marble aggregates + high amount of linseed oil (up to almost 40%) as a plasticizer. In order to fix façade mosaics, the company applied hydraulic mortars made of lime, marble dust, random waste glass splinters and reactive ceramic aggregates (bricks, chamotte) or Portland cement based materials with carbonate aggregates. A mixture of lime and Portland cement appears to be a common binder of Josef Pfefferle´s mosaics. The works by the first Czech local mosaicist Viktor Foerster consist of sand, early Portland cement or mixtures of Portland cement and lime and crushed bricks or gypsum. Foerster´s wife Marie used blended Portland cement with blast furnace slag grains to fix the vault mosaic of the Slavín crypt. The analysed bedding mortars from mosaics produced by other early 20th century mosaic workshops also document the on-going transition from traditional calcium carbonate aggregates and cocciopesto technique to the application of sand and Portland cement based mortars. Portland cement was the main compound in the binders of the studied “socialistic” mosaics of the latter half of the 20th century. This work brought evidence of a common use of blended cements containing granulated blast furnace slag. Linseed oil turned out to be an important compound of some late 19th/ early 20th century mortars. Therefore, a methodology of linseed oil content estimation in the historic mortars was proposed based of the three methods (TG coupled with EGA-MS and TOC). The approach based on EGA-MS (identification and analysis of m/z 95 signal corresponding to “oil-specific” [C7H11]+ ion), developed on a set of model mortars and tested on authentic mosaic mortars´ samples, provided the most satisfactory results.

Spatial Organization of the Fuel and Energy Complex Products Markets in Russia
Authors:   Economic Research Institute FEB RAS, Dyomina Olga
Published: April 2024

The article analyzes the markets of fuel and energy complex products in Russia, i.e. of oil, natural gas, coal, electricity, and heating energy. Among the emphasized features of the markets of fuel and energy complex products are the manifold of regulatory influences, the dependence of geographical boundaries of the markets on the development of the corresponding infrastructure, the presence of vertical and horizontal integration, the high dependence of the national markets of the complex products on the corresponding world markets. The combination of the described features on each of the markets of fuel and energy complex products forms a variety of conditions for their functioning within the boundaries of the national economy, which sets the direction of commodity flows and determines the development of the relevant transport infrastructure, which, in turn, are manifested in the spatial organization of product markets (their geographical segmentation). The research algorithm consisted of the analysis of sectoral markets based on the following parameters: properties of energy as a commodity, resource base, characteristics of producers, consumption structure, infrastructure development, and institutional conditions. Based on the combination of parameters, segments were identified for each of the fuel and energy complex product markets. The oil, natural gas, coal and heating market have two segments each: western and eastern. In the coal market, the eastern segment itself has two segments: eastern coastal and eastern mainland. The electricity market has three segments: western, eastern and northeastern. The analysis allows us to identify the western and eastern segments in each of the fuel and energy complex product markets, which are diametrically different in their characteristics. The stability of the distribution of the country’s territories by segments suggests the presence of invariants determined by the parameters of physical space, the effect of which is weakly susceptible to regulatory influences

Published: April 2024

This study is devoted to assessing the weighted average distances between the regions of Russia according to different metrics – the shortest distances on the sphere, as well as distances by railways and highways. Such aggregated estimates are necessary for researchers of interregional processes (from migration to cargo transportation), but these estimates are not publicly available. The article fills this gap. We describe the methods for estimating distances using various metrics (relying on the Russian Railways data on ‘tariff distances’ between railway stations, information on cities’ coordinates and population, and web-services for calculating inter-city distances). The proposed metrics can be considered as an economic distance metric developed in the context of gravitational interaction studies. We estimate the distances between Russian regions using recent and highly detailed data (the distances between 2840 railway stations, the population data gathered for about 10,000 settlements). For scientific and practical purposes, the open access to resulting estimates is provided. We discuss and interpret the cases of significant discrepancies in the estimates of distances between Russian regions according to different metrics. We demonstrate that, for a number of regions, location of transport infrastructure determines the need to choose the metric of interregional distance carefully, depending on the task. We estimate the weighted distance between all regions of Russia with an account for changes in regional structure of population; on this basis, we show that since 1990s migration has been directed to regions with greater relative transport connectivity

Principio de oportunidad: fundamento y legitimación
Authors: Jiménez Jiménez Leticia Adelaida
Published: April 2024

El principio de oportunidad resulta en la actualidad una figura controvertida porque, aunque es pacífico afirmar que en nuestro sistema legal este principio goza de muy diversas manifestaciones, sigue huérfana de regulación su aplicación en el ejercicio de la acción penal, cuando en realidad el problema de acoger o rechazar el principio de oportunidad en el ejercicio de la acción penal se basa en una mera cuestión de legalidad, de opción político-criminal a establecer por el Legislador. Por ello, esta obra se presenta con el objetivo de aportar una propuesta de fundamento y legitimación para acoger una fórmula completa del principio de culpabilidad basado en la teoría de la prevención general positiva, correspondiendo al principio de oportunidad la función de dar entrada a la «tercera vía» mediante la aplicación de un equivalente funcional que permita cumplir con el fin de restablecer la vigencia de la norma, en un ejercicio de unión con la teoría de la necesidad de la pena. Es cierto que la idea de retribución mediante la imposición de un castigo parece acompañar al pensamiento humano de forma constante en la historia. El castigo se impone utilizando el Derecho penal de un Estado al que se legitima para el ejercicio del ius puniendi a través de las teorías de la pena, y que usa del instrumento del proceso penal para su imposición. Sin embargo, en un Estado Social y Democrático de Derecho esta idea de castigo debe acomodarse a la realidad social del tiempo actual y adoptar nuevas estrategias de corte político-criminal en la lucha contra el delito. En este contexto abordaremos la figura a la que dedicaremos esta obra, a saber: el principio de oportunidad.

KAJIAN PENANGGULANGAN BANJIR DENGAN PERBAIKAN PENAMPANG SITU PONDOK JAGUNG
Authors: Vallentina Lutfia , Arbaningrum Rizka , Putuhena Frederik Josep
Published: April 2024

Flood mitigation of Situ Pondok Jagung caused by it’s inadequate capacity to handle water, resulting in overflow and localized inundation, this study employed an analytical and simulation modeling approach using SWMM 5.1 software. The modeling process required input data such as Rain Gage, Subctachment, Conduit, Juction, Storage Unit, and Outfall. The analysis and modeling revealed a capacity shortfall, evident from the floodwater levels observed in Situ Pondok Jagung. The analysis and modeling results indicate an excess capacity of the storage capacity, as evidenced by the flood water elevation in Situ Pondok Jagung. Thus, the hydraulic analysis in SWMM 5.1 considers two design conditions: the existing condition with a height of 1.5m, showing a total water discharge of 103,75 m3/s, and a storage volume of 119.250 m2. For the planned condition using trial and error experiment, dredging was performed to a depth of 20cm, and an additional 50cm in height was added to the levee. As a result, the height of Situ Pondok Jagung became 2,2m, with zero overflow, and a storage volume of 174.900 m3. This represents a reduction of 40% and indicates that this planning effort could be considered as an alternative solution.

Why is Deliberation Necessary for Choice?
Authors: Long Duane
Published: April 2024

In the ethical texts, Aristotle claims that all instances of choice (prohairesis) must be preceded by deliberation, but it is not clear why he believes this. This paper offers an explanation of that commitment, drawing heavily from the De Anima and showing that the account emerging from there complements that of the ethical texts. The view is that the deliberative faculty has the capacity to manipulate reasons combinatorially, while the perceptual/desiderative faculty does not, and choice requires the combinatorial manipulation of reasons.
Enhancing faba bean (Vicia faba L.) productivity through establishing the area-specific fertilizer rate recommendation in southwest Ethiopia
Authors: Daemo Berhanu Bilate
Published: April 2024

The aim of this study is to establish area-specific NPSB (18.9% N, 37.7% P2O5, 6.95% S, and 0.1% B) fertilizer rate recommendations for the optimal grain yield of faba bean. The field experiment was conducted in two locations in the 2021 and 2022 cropping seasons using a randomized complete block design with three replications. The nine treatments included 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200 kg ha−1 NPSB fertilizer rates. An economic analysis was conducted for grain yield using the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center procedure. The analysis of variance results showed that blended fertilizer significantly (p < 0.01) affected plant height, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per plant, hundred seeds weight, biomass yield, grain yield (GY), and harvest index. The combined location mean result showed that applying a 125 kg ha−1 NPSB rate produced the highest GY (4857.2 kg ha−1). The result of economic analysis demonstrated that applying a 125 kg ha−1 NPSB rate earned the highest net benefits (212824.0 ETB ha−1) and marginal rate of return (3653.43%). Therefore, a 125 kg ha−1 NPSB fertilizer rate is recommended for high yield and profitability of faba bean production in the study area and other similar soil types.

Role of Cultural Factors on Entrepreneurship Across the Diverse Economic Stages: Insights from GEM and GLOBE Data
Authors: Chen Yue-e , Makki Bilal Iftikhar
Published: April 2024

This article conducts an exploration of culture’s roles on entrepreneurial activities among countries at different economic stages. Culture factors from the GLOBE are converted into motivation culture and hygiene culture. The framework of this research is derived from Herzberg’s motivation hygiene theory. Total entrepreneurial activity (TEA) and the ratio of opportunity-driven to necessity-driven entrepreneurship (OPP/NEC) from global entrepreneurship monitor (GEM) are taken as measures for both the quantity and quality of entrepreneurial behavior. Panel regression with fixed effects is employed to test both direct and interaction effects. The direct relations show that the improvement of economic conditions discourages the TEA, while promotes the OPP/NEC; motivation culture significantly promotes OPP/NEC, while makes no difference in TEA; and hygiene culture significantly promotes TEA, while reduces OPP/NEC. In terms of interactive effects, motivation culture reduces the containment of economic development on TEA, yet hygiene culture hurts its promotion on OPP/NEC; motivation culture mitigates hygiene culture’s stimulation of TEA, while hygiene culture damages motivation culture’s fostering of OPP/NEC. Finally, a global culture map of quadrant distribution diagram is visually drawn with the corresponding culture scores. Notably, countries or regions in quadrant IV with high motivation culture and low hygiene culture demonstrate the most favorable entrepreneurial quality as well as high economic development.
Experimental investigation on damage mechanism of GFRP laminates embedded with/without steel wire mesh under low-velocity-impact and post-impact tensile loading
Authors: Wu Ye , You Peiyu , Hua Wuchao , Liu Cuilong , Zhang Shuaimin , Liu Youping
Published: April 2024

To investigate the impact behavior and residual strength of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates embedded with/without steel wire mesh, low-velocity-impact (LVI) and post-impact tensile tests are conducted carefully. According to the wire diameter and spacing of steel wire mesh, we manufactured two groups of specimens via conventional vacuum-assisted resin infusion. Further, the digital image correlation technique was applied to record the strain evolution. Based on the results, including impact response history, failure morphology, strain contour, the failure mechanism and effect of the parameters of steel wire mesh is revealed in detail. The results show that the embedding of wire mesh can improve the impact resistance and residual strength, with a more significant effect as both the increase of wire diameter and decrease of wire spacing. Compared with GFRP laminates, the peak force of specimens with the thickest and densest wire mesh increase by 105% and 141% under LVI tests and 254% and 141% in post-impact tensile tests, respectively.

Published: April 2024

Contemporary contacts and interactions with religion are often mediated by mass and social media. These sources vary in their reliability and some are known for their use of humor as a communicative strategy. In this article we analyze how humorous religion-related news triggers reactions to and discussions about the intertwined issues of humor, religion, history and ethnic identity. First, we look at how people perceive religion as an institution, contextualizing the results against the backdrop of the historical and present-day role of religion in the (ethnically, politically, and culturally) divided Estonian society. Second and more broadly, we analyze the (mis)use of strong religious symbols. We aim to understand why serious reactions to initially humorous fake news come about, and why humorous stimuli are sometimes met with discontent or even disgust. This contributes to understanding the intersection of humor and religion in divided societies. The results point out that the religious controversies triggered by humor are related to societal and political issues rather than ideas about religion and belief. We suggest that fast and broad dissemination via online media might be one of the reasons why the humorous and serious are closely interwoven in discussions on religious issues.
The gut-brain connection: elevating mental health and performance in sports and physical activity through imagery
Authors: Peterson Ellyssa L. , Moritz Sandra E.
Published: April 2024

Exploring the connections between imagery in sports and physical activity and the well-being of both the body and mind in relation to gut health is a new research area gaining in popularity. This interplay is crucial where peak performance requires the mind and body to be harmonious. Imagery techniques are powerful tools that athletes can tap into to optimize their gut-brain performance. Incorporating imagery techniques into training and performance routines is an accessible and low-cost psychological skills training technique.

In Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS), clinical heterogeneity and discordance between disease activity measures and patient experience are key obstacles to effective therapeutic development. Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are useful tools for understanding the unmet needs from the patients’ perspective and therefore they are key for the development of patient centric healthcare systems. Initial concern about the subjectivity of PROMs has given way to methodological rigour and clear guidance for the development of PROMs. To date, several studies of patient stratification using PROMs have identified similar symptom-based subgroups. There is evidence to suggest that these subgroups may represent different disease endotypes with differing responses to therapeutic interventions. Stratified medicine approaches, alongside sensitive outcome measures, have the potential to improve our understanding of SS pathobiology and therapeutic development. The inclusion of PROMs is important for the success of such approaches. In this review we discuss the opportunities of using PROMs in understanding the pathogenesis of and therapeutic development for SS.

Excitotoxicity and the concurrent loss of inhibition are well-defined mechanisms driving acute elevation in excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance and neuronal cell death following an ischemic insult to the brain. Despite the high prevalence of long-term disability in survivors of global cerebral ischemia (GCI) as a consequence of cardiac arrest, it remains unclear whether E/I imbalance persists beyond the acute phase and negatively affects functional recovery. We previously demonstrated sustained impairment of long-term potentiation (LTP) in hippocampal CA1 neurons correlating with deficits in learning and memory tasks in a murine model of cardiac arrest/cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA/CPR). Here, we use CA/CPR and an in vitro ischemia model to elucidate mechanisms by which E/I imbalance contributes to ongoing hippocampal dysfunction in male mice. We reveal increased postsynaptic GABAAreceptor (GABAAR) clustering and function in the CA1 region of the hippocampus that reduces the E/I ratio. Importantly, reduced GABAAR clustering observed in the first 24 h rebounds to an elevation of GABAergic clustering by 3 d postischemia. This increase in GABAergic inhibition required activation of the Ca2+-permeable ion channel transient receptor potential melastatin-2 (TRPM2), previously implicated in persistent LTP and memory deficits following CA/CPR. Furthermore, we find Ca2+-signaling, likely downstream of TRPM2 activation, upregulates Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) activity, thereby driving the elevation of postsynaptic inhibitory function. Thus, we propose a novel mechanism by which inhibitory synaptic strength is upregulated in the context of ischemia and identify TRPM2 and CaMKII as potential pharmacological targets to restore perturbed synaptic plasticity and ameliorate cognitive function.
Conference Report
Authors: Stamp Shelley
Published: April 2024

A report on the 2023 International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) Symposium held in Mexico City. The symposium’s theme was “Women, Cinema, and Film Archives,” and the event included presentations by archivists, curators, and scholars on women’s leadership in international film archives, the history of women’s participation in FIAF, and current initiatives in feminist archiving and curation. Still, much work remains to be done. We must ask broader questions about how gender has informed collecting, curating, and cataloging practices; how gender shapes women’s ideas about their own labor; and how histories of cinema are transformed by including women’s work at all levels as filmmakers, film laborers, and film archivists.
Dragging the Archive
Authors: Femmes Club Des
Published: April 2024

This is Club Des Femmes’s messyfesto, in which we propose that learning about radicalism and resistance can happen not through academia but rather through collective experience of watching films together in the dual contextualization of a cinema and a conversation. Club Des Femmes is a queer feminist film curation collective that has been programming at independent venues across London (and beyond) since 2007. Our messyfesto draws primarily on our activities, in person and online, since the beginning of the COVID pandemic in March 2020. It is a polyphonic and eclectic record of the events we curated in that period, from our webzine Culture Club, through the 2020 online weekender Between Us We Have Everything We Need, and then our return to cinemas for live events at the Rio Cinema in London. First, the epic summer 2021 Lesbian Camp: Yes It’s F**cking Political weekender, and most recently, the 2022 screening of Leontine Sagan’s Mädchen in Uniform (1932).
Serious Business
Authors: Zimbardo Tanya , Bonfanti Antonella
Published: April 2024

A filmmaker and trailblazing film distribution entrepreneur, Freude (1942–2009) became a central figure in the San Francisco Bay Area film community in the late 1960s and 1970s. Her Serious Business Company (1972–83) distributed many of the era’s most acclaimed independent and experimental films, but its lasting impact created a platform for discovering lesser-known works. Freude’s contributions to the experimental film and independent filmmaking communities remain largely unsung. This article will excite further investigation and recognition into Freude’s important efforts to support California and national artist-made filmmaking movements as it examines her professional relationships and draws from interviews, correspondence, and ephemera from the Serious Business Company archives at the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley. It also builds on recent efforts at BAMPFA and San Francisco State University’s the Archive Project where authors Antonella Bonfanti and Tanya Zimbardo have recently been involved with public programs about Freude’s legacy.
Histories and Futures of Black Feminist Film Curation
Authors: Field Allyson Nadia , O’Malley Hayley
Published: April 2024

Highlighting past and present film curatorial and programming projects by Black women, the roundtable conversation printed here featured Ina Archer, Cheryl Chisholm, Monica Freeman, Jennifer Lawson, O.Funmilayo Makarah, and Yvonne Welbon. Moderated by Allyson Nadia Field and Hayley O’Malley, the conversation began at the 2023 Sojourner Truth Festival of the Arts in Chicago and offered an occasion for curators of Black feminist film and media work to reflect on their careers and the labor involved in connecting films with audiences. Even as Black feminist media has gained more critical and popular attention in recent years, the behind-the-scenes labor of film programming—especially in earlier periods—remains largely underappreciated and understudied. This roundtable is one attempt to center those curatorial histories as vital for the understanding of American film culture.

Manufacturers, Printers and Booksellers in the 1872–1918 Records of F. M. and A. G. Dostoevsky
Authors: Zavarkina Marina
Published: April 2024

Abstract The Dostoevsky couple’s book trade is a separate, vast topic that has recently attracted increasingly greater attention of researchers. Starting in 1872 — the period of preparation of the novel “Demons” (1873) for publication — the Dostoevskys dealt with various publishers, printers, manufacturers and booksellers. The article is based on the 1872–1881 notebooks of F. M. Dostoevsky and the 1876–1918 notebooks of A. G. Dostoevskaya, as well as on scientific literature on publishing and book trade of 19th-century Russia, expanded comments and biographical references to such representatives of the book business as the Vargunin brothers and separately father and son Alexander Ivanovich and Konstantin Alexandrovich Vargunin; the Glazunov brothers and separately Alexander Ilyich and Ivan Ilyich Glazunov. The last representatives of the Glazunov publishing clan, Konstantin Ilyich and Ilya Ivanovich Glazunov, with whom, judging by the notebooks, A. G. Dostoevskaya interacted after the writer’s death, are being discussed for the first time. The article expanded the comment on the surname “Mamontov.” In the research literature on Dostoevsky, the emphasis is placed either exclusively on the writer’s relationship with Nikolai Ivanovich Mamontov, or with Anatoly Ivanovich Mamontov. Based on the notebooks of A. G. Dostoevskaya of 1876–1881, the article demonstrates that the Dostoevskys communicated with both representatives of the Mamontov family at that time. It is also suggested that in the late receipts issued by A. G. Dostoevskaya to a subscriber of the bookstore of a certain N. G. Mamontov, most likely refer to the bookseller N. G. Martynov. A. G. Dostoevskaya’s notebooks of the period after Dostoevsky’s death shows that the widow continued to cooperate with many publishers, booksellers and manufacturers after her husband’s death.
