Published: December 2022

A carcinicultura é uma atividade econômica de destaque no Brasil. Na região Norte Fluminenses diversas iniciativas surgirão nos últimos anos. Sistemas de Informações Geográficas (SIG) e a técnica de integração de Avaliação Multicritério (AMC) são reconhecidos como um sistema de apoio à decisão, sendo a utilização do Processo de Análise Hierarquica Padrão (AHP) uma poderosa ferramenta para descrever, explicar e prever locais adequados para o estabelecimento de empreendimentos. O presente estudo tem como objetivo desenvolver mapas temáticos para a identificação de áreas propícias a implementação e expansão da carcinicultura na região Norte Fluminense do estado do Rio de Janeiro (RJ), considerando adequar sua localização às características ambientais e socioeconômicas desejáveis. O modelo foi estruturado em categorias hierárquicas com dois critérios (fatores e restrições), sendo o modelo de fatores, subdivido em cinco submodelos: de disponibilidade hídrica; ambiental; logístico; infraestrutura; e econômico. As modelagens foram confeccionadas a partir de dados obtidos dos órgãos detentores das informações públicas mais confiáveis (ANA, SGB, IBGE, DNIT, INEA e IBAMAMMA), ou digitalização a partir de imagens de alta resolução. Os pesos atribuídos para cada critério e submodelos, foi obtido a partir das respostas dadas por 29 colabores, através da aplicação de questionário on-line, elaborado baseando-se no conhecimento descrito em literatura. Para a confecção do modelo restritivo foram incluídas as vedações encontradas na legislação vigente (Lei 12.651/12 - Novo Código Florestal), incluindo as disposições de zoneamento costeiro, das áreas de reserva da Mata Atlântica e matas ciliares. Os submodelos foram reclassificados em cinco classes de adequação (0,8) em um intervalo de 0 a 1 do menos adequado para o mais adequado, e sobrepostos ao modelo restritivo, sendo então calculadas as áreas referentes as categorias em cada município. As análises indicaram um grande potencial para a implementação da carcinicultura na região Norte Fluminense, com uma área total de 695.110 ha classificados entre moderadamente a muito adequada (>0,4 a 1), representando 35% da área total avaliada. Destacam se os municípios de Campos dos Goytacases (334.921 ha), seguido por São Fidélis (95.767ha), São Francisco de Itabapoana (74.358ha) e Macaé (51.350ha). Essa abordagem demonstrou a utilidade do desta ferramenta na identificação dos potenciais locais para implantação e desenvolvimento da carcinicultura, podendo auxiliar na elaboração de propostas de políticas públicas e planos para o desenvolvimento da atividade na região.
Levantamento sobre o conhecimento e o consumo da carne de elasmobrânquios na alimentação

Published: December 2022

As populações de peixes elasmobrânquios vêm sofrendo significativo declínio nos últimos anos, sendo a sobrepesca, principalmente a ilegal, não reportada e não regulamentada, o principal fator que contribui para esse declínio. Isso costuma ocorrer, seja pela prática de shark finning, que consiste na retirada exclusiva de nadadeiras de tubarões, estruturas que possuem alto valor comercial, seja para a exploração da carne desses animais, destinadas ao consumo humano (DULVY et al, 2021; PACOUREAU et al, 2021; BANK; DUARTE; SONNE, 2022). Nesse cenário, o Brasil está entre os principais produtores de carne de elasmobrânquios, vigorando também no ranking dos países que mais importam carne desses animais (RANGEL et al, 2021). No país, o produto é amplamente comercializado com o termo genérico “cação”, o que causa confusão entre os consumidores e dificulta tomadas de decisões mais sustentáveis por parte dos brasileiros. O termo é utilizado para classificar o produto, independentemente da espécie e do porte, o que acaba por mascarar a comercialização de espécies com algum grau de ameaça, uma prática comum, porém ilegal (BORNATOWSKI et al, 2015; BERNARDO et al, 2020; ALVARENGA; SOLÉ-CAVA; HENNING, 2021). Diante disso, e da escassez de dados sobre o tema, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar um levantamento, na população brasileira, por meio de um questionário on-line, acerca do consumo desse pescado, identificando se essa população tem conhecimento de que “carne de cação” se refere à carne de tubarões e raias, e se têm conhecimento sobre a importância ambiental desses animais. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a carne de cação não é frequentemente consumida pelos participantes e que também não está entre seus três tipos de pescado preferidos. Ademais, sugeriram que existe uma confusão por parte dos consumidores de cação sobre o produto ser carne de tubarão e/ou carne de raias. Também se verificou que os participantes não consumiriam carne de animais considerados ameaçados caso tivessem ciência de se tratar de espécies com populações vulneráveis. Assim, concluiu-se que uma correta nomenclatura do produto, uma rígida legislação – tanto para o monitoramento e o regulamento da pesca desses animais como para a rotulagem adequada do produto – e campanhas de educação e conscientização da população sobre o tema são essenciais para a sustentabilidade do estoque das populações mundiais desses animais.

A aquicultura costeira desempenha um papel importante na subsistência e no desenvolvimento econômico local entre as comunidades costeiras de países em desenvolvimento. Recentemente, num diagnóstico realizado pela FIPERJ foram identificados diversos gargalos, com destaque para ações de regularização e ordenamento e falta de planejamento de expansão. Como outras modalidades de aquicultura, o cultivo de mexilhões pode ter grande alcance social e econômico. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os empreendimentos que estão em desconformidade com a legislação vigente e apoiá-los na regularização conferindo acesso as políticas públicas específicas, apoio técnico e financeiro de projetos. Os produtores foram identificados através de imagens de satélite com alta resolução espacial, nos registros do Sistema Nacional das Autorizações de Uso de Espaço Físico de Águas da União para fins de Aquicultura, e nos registros do Instituto Estadual do Meio Ambiente. Foi feita uma análise da área ocupada pelo cultivo, avaliando dados técnicos e legais como localização da área ocupada e atendimento as normas específicas para cada tipo de cultivo referente a distância entre as estruturas de cultivo, distância de costão rochoso e praias. A Associação Livre dos Maricultores de Jurujuba (ALMARJ) foi o estudo de caso deste trabalho. Os polígonos atuais foram delimitados considerando a disposição atual das estruturas de cultivo. Área 1 com 5,5 hectares e área 2 com 3,2 hectares. Algumas irregularidades nas áreas de cultivo foram identificadas: bloqueio da navegação, desrespeito aos limites de expansão, distância do costão rochoso inferior ao permitido e falta de sinalização. Através da elaboração de um projeto, as áreas foram reprojetadas respeitando as normas vigentes e os limites préestabelecidos pelas autoridades portuárias. Uma terceira área com 2 hectares foi projetada, levando em consideração a demanda dos maricultores da ALMARJ e permitindo futuras expansões. Com os polígonos existentes reprojetos e uma terceira área sugerida, a área total passa de 8,7 hectares para pouco mais de 12 hectares, comportando 468 estruturas de cultivo (long-lines de 50m cada). Existem diversos produtores na mesma situação ou processo completamente abandonados. Critérios que conduzem este tipo de processo, em alguns municípios, para competência estadual, fazendo com que a legalização desses empreendimentos fique atrelados a taxas altas e critérios de impacto mais rigorosos. Alguns municípios conduzem o licenciamento na esfera municipal, o que normalmente agiliza o processo e aplicam taxas compatíveis com a realidade social da grande maioria do maricultores regionais. Políticas públicas consistentes são necessárias para estimular a regularização da maricultura costeira.
FACTORS IN THE FORMATION OF SUPER-CYCLES IN WORLD COMMODITY MARKETS
Authors: HRABYNSKA I. , KOSARCHYN M.
Published: December 2022

Over the past few years, the world’s leading commodity markets have seen an upward trend in prices, which may indicate the beginning of a new super-cycle or may be of a short-term nature, driven by current changes in demand and supply. Commodity super-cycles are important for the global economy, especially for macroeconomic policies in commodity-exporting countries, and are also reflected in the dynamics of international financial markets. The purpose of the article is to determine the essence and features of super-cycles in world commodity markets as well as to identify the factors that led to the increase in commodity prices in 2020-2022. To solve the objectives set in the article, a number of general scientific and special methods of scientific cognition are used, namely the method of theoretical generalization, historical and logical methods, descriptive-analytical method, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, abstractlogical method and method of economic-statistical analysis. The article outlines the mechanism of deployment of the conjunctural cycle in commodity markets and its connection with long cycles of business activity, which are conditioned by the implementation of revolutionary technological innovations. It discusses the dynamics of the main composite commodity indices. The factors influencing the growth of prices for commodity assets at the micro and macro levels are identified. The article traces changes in the course of commodity super-cycles during the 20th and early 21st centuries and investigates their causes. It is revealed that global inflationary processes, the dynamics of the US dollar index as well as the disruption of supply chains in international trade due to the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the global growth of commodity prices in 2020-2022. At the same time, forecasts about the recession of the global economy caused by the large-scale military aggression of russia in Ukraine and the long-term consequences of the pandemic as well as macroeconomic policies of large economies aimed at overcoming excessive inflation may somewhat cool the prices of commodity assets. To assess the sentiments and expectations of economic entities, the dynamics of the basis for WTI oil is analyzed, which gives grounds to conclude that the price fluctuations in global commodity markets in 2020-2022 are short-term in nature as well as to question the beginning of a new super-cycle. Identification and forecasts of conjunctural fluctuations in global commodity markets are important without any exaggeration for all economic entities – both for producers in making strategic as well as tactical management decisions on the development of production and in the formation of structural and macroeconomic policies of the country in order to increase the export potential of the national economy and to ensure its competitiveness.

Okul yaz tatilleri birçok öğrenci için mutlu ve kaygısız bir zaman olarak tanımlansa da düşük gelirli aileye sahip çocuklar için okul yaz tatilleri can sıkıntısı ve hareketsizlik anlamına gelebilmektedir. Kimi öğrenci okul yaz tatillerinde kampa veya kursa giderek, tatile giderek geçirirken kimi öğrenci kendilerinin veya başkalarının bahçesinde, işyerinde çalışarak, evlerinde televizyon izleyerek, internette gezinerek yaz tatillerini geçirebilmektedir. Bu araştırmada düşük ve yüksek gelirli anne babaların okul yaz tatillerine ilişkin görüşleri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu araştırmada veriler düşük ve yüksek gelirli anne babalardan elde edilmiş, araştırma sonuçları bu verilere dayandırılmıştır. Bu amaçla yaşları 22 ile 64 arasında değişen 75 anne baba ile nitel görüşme yapılmıştır. Yapılan nitel görüşmelerin tematik analizi sonucunda ‘yapılan aktiviteler, yapılması arzu edilen aktiviteler, yaşanan öğrenme kayıpları’ temaları belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda çocukların daha çok yaz tatillerinde televizyon izledikleri, internette gezindikleri, zamanlarını boşa harcadıkları anne babalar tarafından ifade edilmiştir. Anne babaların çocukların yaz aylarında öğrenme kaybı yaşadıklarını düşündükleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Düşük ve yüksek gelirli anne babaların çocuklarına farklı imkanlar sağlamak istedikleri, ancak düşük gelirli anne babaların bu imkanları sağlayamadıkları görülmüştür. Elde edilen bulgular çerçevesinde araştırmacılara ve yetkililere pratik öneriler sunulmuştur.

Published: December 2022

Uvod: Granulomatozni poliangitis, poznatiji pod ranije korištenim nazivom Wegenerova granulomatoza, rijetka je bolest karakterizirana nekrotizirajućim vaskulitisom koji zahvaća male arterije i vene, te dovodi do stvaranja granuloma. Simptomi ovise o zahvaćenim organima, a najčešće je riječ o gornjim i donjim dišnim putovima, te bubrezima. Obostrana akutna upala srednjeg uha, uz obostranu parezu ličnog živca, izrazito je rijedak prvi simptom granulomatoznog poliangitisa. Pregledom literature na engleskom jeziku uspjeli smo naći desetak do sada opisanih slučajeva. Prikaz slučaja: U slučaju naše bolesnice radi se o iznimno rijetkim prvim simptomima granulomatoznog poliangitisa. Riječ je o tridesetrogodišnjoj bolesnici, bez ranije poznatih sistemskih bolesti, koja se inicijalno javila otorinolaringologu zbog akutne upale oba uha, praćene parezom ličnog živca na desnom uhu. Usprkos provedenom liječenju, koje je uključivalo obostranu miringotomiju i sistemsku antibiotsku i kortikosteroidnu terapiju, došlo je do pogoršanja upale lijevog uha, uz razvoj pareze ličnog živca i s te strane. Radiološkom obradom (CT, MR) nije nađen lokalni uzrok pogoršanja bolesti, te je učinjena daljnja obrada. Nađene su povišene vrijednosti ANCA-e, a naknadnom imunološkom obradom potvrđena je dijagnoza granulomatoznog poliangitisa. Zaključak: Pareza ličnog živca uzrokovana akutnom upalom uha izrazito je rijetko prvi simptom granulomatoznog poliangitisa, no ovu bolest treba uzeti u obzir u diferencijalnoj dijagnostici kod bolesnika bez odgovarajućeg poboljšanja na liječenje.

Review of Agricultural Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Obstacle Avoidance System
Authors: Emmanuel Uche
Published: December 2022

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being used for commercial, scientific, agricultural and infrastructural enhancement to alleviate maladies. The objective of this chapter is to review existing capabilities and ongoing studies to overcome difficulties associated with the deployment of the agricultural unmanned aerial vehicle in obstacle-rich farms for pesticides and fertilizer application. By review of various literature, it is apparent that the potential for real-time and near real-time exists but the development of technology for quality imagery and rapid processing leading to real-time response is needed. The Infrared, time of flight and millimeter wavelength radar sensors for detecting farm and flight environment obstacles appear promising. The autonomous mental development algorithm, and the simultaneous localization and mapping technology are, however, ahead of others in achieving autonomous identification of obstacles and real-time obstacle avoidance. They are, therefore, found fit for further studies and development for deployment on agricultural unmanned aerial vehicles for obstacle-rich farms.
The Effect of Laundering on the Physical and Thermal Properties of Phase Change Textile Materials
Authors: Scheepers Ricardo
Published: December 2022

Phase change materials (PCMs) have been integrated into clothing and textiles to provide added value in terms of thermoregulation and thus added comfort to the wearer in intensely hot and cold weather conditions. Since clothing is laundered several times during the service life of the textile, the effects of simulated domestic laundering on the physical and thermal properties of a non-woven textile that contains PCMs were investigated. The thermal properties, such as the thermal degradation, melting, evaporation, and crystallisation were measured by the Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analytical techniques. The physical properties, such as the microcapsule size distribution, and the microcapsule morphologies of the PCM microcapsules, were measured by the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Raman analytical techniques. The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of repeated laundering at different wash temperatures.

Published: December 2022

Autoimmune diseases have emerged as a pandemic in our modern societies, especially after World War II. There are currently more than 80 autoimmune diseases that compromise the lives of millions of patients around the world. There is a variety of factors that are involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases that vary from environmental factors to genetic susceptibility. The GI tract is one of the most susceptible sub-systems in human bodies for autoimmune organ-specific diseases. There are five autoimmune GI tract diseases that are most common. This review consists of two chapters. In part I, we shed the light on introducing the concept of autoimmunity, the description of the disease’s pathogenesis and the diagnosis, the link between the gut and brain through what is known as the gut-brain axis, and the relationship of this axis in GI autoimmune diseases. In part II, we will shed light on the role of antibodies as markers for the prediction of the disease, artificial intelligence in GI autoimmune diseases, the nutritional role and implications in the five GI autoimmune diseases, and finally the treatment of those diseases.

Published: December 2022

Among the 62 Bothriocline plant species, Bothriocline auriculata is the only endemic species in Uganda. Although this species is capable of thriving in diverse agroecosystems including mountainous areas, bamboo thickets, montane and tropical rainforests, it is only sited along Mt. Elgon slopes, the species’ native ecosystem. Unfortunately, for the last two decades, the species’ native ecosystem is undergoing very rapid deterioration as the increasing human populations have no option for survival but to clear protective forests and vegetation for arable farming, grazing and settlement. Despite the proven ecological importance of Bothriocline auriculata as a fodder plant, nutrient recycling and biodiversity in contributing to ecosystem balance, the species is declining at unprecedented rates. Consequently, the Bothriocline auriculata is now on the blink of extinction and is classified as critically endangered. This project aimed to rescue and conserve this species to ensure its full recovery, restoration and conservation under protected ecosystems. The specimens were rescued from the native ecosystem and multiplied into 150 juvenile seedlings. The seedlings exhibited a faster growth rate under well-nourished and moist soil conditions and vice versa. The data confirm the species’ ability to thrive in protected ecosystems with favorable weather and soil conditions for ex-situ conservation.

Authors: Muthusamy Dharani
Published: December 2022

Milk Fat Globular Membrane comprises less than 1% of the total milk lipids, but the technological significance and health benefits of MFGM are immeasurable. MFGM as a bioactive compound present in milk, constitutes the majority of indigenous enzymes and plays vital role in stability of fat globules while processing. Due to its benefits, MFGM and its fractions became a hot topic in functional food especially in the infant food formula category. MFGM contributes several health benefits such as anticancer, anticholesterolemic and improves physical and dermal health. Food application of the MFGM can be highlighted as an emulsifier and stabilizer with excellent water holding capacity in dairy products. Beyond its technological significance, MFGM is also used in food emulsion and lactic acid bacteria encapsulation techniques. MFGM is considered to be a nutraceutical ingredient which gives more opportunity for exploration of milk lipids.

Published: December 2022

The desire for pregnancy in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which was previously considered a potentially lethal enemy for the mother and the product, today is part of the success of advances in the treatment and control of the disease. In this chapter, we will talk a little about the pathophysiology of the pregnancy of the patient with lupus, going through the relationship with the treatments received, and the way in which these can directly affect fertility and pregnancy. We will also briefly comment on the compromise of the product in the case of neonatal lupus, and if it really has to do indirectly or directly with the existence of SLE in the mother. We will address pregnancy-related complications along with biomarkers and clinical signs that could indicate inherent risks already widely known in the literature.

Published: December 2022

Food contains several components that are essential for health. Dietary fibres are nondigestible foods that play an important role in the maintenance of health. Nondigestible carbohydrates are an important constituent of the diet. Intestinal immunity is the bedrock of host health and holistic health maintained by nutrition and the existence of the host supported by immunity. The gastrointestinal immune barrier is exposed to the environment or food, and immunity is maintained by several factors. Dietary fibres exert molecular effects through the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and gut microbiota. Dietary fibres and microbial communities secrete metabolites that have the potential to regulate intestinal immunity. The gastrointestinal immune barrier is a primary target for dietary fibre metabolites, and these molecules exert a signalling effect on immune cells in the intestine. In the proposed chapter, we will discuss the molecular impact of dietary fibers on intestinal immunity and how innate immune response and gut microbiota are regulated by metabolites.

The creation of strongly interacting dense state of matter is expected in heavy-ion accelerators at relativistic energies, such as Relativistic Heavy Ion collider and Large Hadron Collider experiments. These experiments are believed to provide us the signature of the formation on quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and possible QCD phase transition. The charged particles directly and indirectly measured by detectors located near the collision point bear the signals of QGP and hint toward the occurrence of QCD phase transition going from hadronic phase to the QGP phase and vice versa. The observation of large particle density fluctuations in the JACEE experiment and its explanation by normalized factorial moments triggered investigations of multiplicity fluctuation patterns with decreasing domains of phase space (one-, two-, or three-dimensional phase space) invoked special interest to analyze such events. Fluctuations of dynamical origin are reflected in probability density as intermittency behavior and indicate toward the creation of QGP. Various fluctuation observables were proposed on theoretical basis, and their measurements became possible by the availability of detector facility in these modern and technologically rich experiments. A careful measurement and examination have been carried out over past years with many discoveries and are still in progress to address many new physics issues.

Published: December 2022

A systematic review was undertaken to evaluate and critically appraise literature pertaining to prevalence and treatment of upper limb pain in the spinal cord injured (SCI) population using manual wheelchair. Data extraction tables were compiled, then an in-depth data on the types of injury, level of injury, type of wheelchair used, type of treatment sought and the impact on Activities of Daily Living were recorded. A Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies tool was used to critically appraise the quality of studies included in this review. 994 papers in total were screened, 46 full text studies were assessed with 14 studies included in the final synthesis: four cohort studies and ten cross-sectional studies. Shoulder pain was the most common type of pain reported (30–71%) followed by wrist, hand, and elbow. Functional limitations reported because of upper limb pain included interference with mobilizing, transferring, and Activities of Daily Living, primarily personal care tasks. There is clear evidence that upper limb pain is prevalent in the SCI manual wheelchair using population which impacts on functional tasks. Further research is required to explore the perceptions of those with upper limb pain and techniques used to manage pain.

Published: December 2022

South Africa yet again faces an upsurge of a national crisis. Approximately 13,774 deaths were reported in 2019 as a result of suicide. In total, 10,861 of the deaths were men. It has been said men usually take time to seek healthcare services. Most regard their problems to be solved over a few bottles of alcohol. Most of the suicides are linked to mental health issues. This poses an inquiry on the current services offered to address men’s mental health issues. Therefore, this shows the significant urgency to access modified men-centered mental health services to address men’s sensitive issues in the communities of South Africa (SA). However, this chapter seeks to review the prevalence of suicides, health-seeking behavior among men, and factors to poor utilization of mental health services in men. In addition, it discusses the proposed strategies to improve access to men-centered mental healthcare services.
Citrus Virus and Viroid Diseases

Published: December 2022

Citrus are cultivated in a vast area worldwide and many countries grow it. Citrus fruits are delicious and everybody can eat it easily so many farmers like to grow them because of the good market. This plant has many diseases that induce various kinds of agents like fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and viruses. In this chapter, we discussed some citrus viral diseases that are very important and dangerous for fields. First, the Citrus Tristeza virus is explained that exists around the world. After that, you will know about other viruses like the Citrus psorosis virus. Viroids are another agent that causes diseases and reduces the amount of production. You learn some of them in this chapter like Hop stunt viroid, Citrus exocortis viroid, etc. The significant point of knowing citrus viral diseases is in the management of diseases. The control of viral diseases is difficult because there are no poisons or combinations to remove viruses from infected plants. If farmers or experts know about symptoms that cause viruses or viroids, they can report it to the related office and do some work to control it and it is important to the agriculture industry.
Recycling Gap, Africa’s Perspective for Sustainable Waste Management
Authors: Akinyi Ogutu Florence , Kathambi Bessy
Published: December 2022

Africa is a rising continent with a lot of development taking place having a youthful robust growing population. Africa’s urbanization is projected to double in the next decade with an equally increasing population in urban and cities surroundings. A growing population also intimates that waste generation will also double if not triple from the developments and human activities associated with a growing urban populace. Waste generation from a global level is expected to double by 2050 with cities and urban centers being the highest contributors to waste generation. Thus, Africa will require measures and policies that will address the future of sustainable waste management in its entirety. In this regard, Africa needs to take stock of their waste management infrastructure and highlight the gaps in existence. One of the problems that are crosscutting in Africa is the gap in full realization of the potential of recycling of waste and the economic and environmental gains attributed to recycling. In Africa, less than 10% of the countries having recycling plants that operate optimally as well as have infrastructure that can sustain proper waste management from financial to personnel. This chapter outlines the gap in recycling.

Authors: Younus Bhat Mohammad , Hamid Dar Aamir , Ahmad Bhat Altaf , Kumar Jain Deepak
Published: December 2022

Quadratic-phase Fourier transform (QPFT) as a general integral transform has been considered into Wigner distribution (WD) and Ambiguity function (AF) to show more powerful ability for non-stationary signal processing. In this article, a new version of ambiguity function (AF) coined as scaled ambiguity function associated with the Quadratic-phase Fourier transform (QPFT) is proposed. This new version of AF is defined based on the QPFT and the fractional instantaneous auto-correlation. Firstly, we define the scaled ambiguity function associated with the QPFT (SAFQ). Then, the main properties including the conjugate-symmetry, shifting, scaling, marginal and Moyal’s formulae of SAFQ are investigated in detail, the results show that SAFQ can be viewed as the generalization of the classical AF. Finally, the newly defined SAFQ is used for the detection of linear-frequency-modulated (LFM) signals.

Published: December 2022

In most countries that have reached an aging society, the feeding function among the elderly population has declined and become a serious problem. Therefore, understanding the development of human oral function is required to address this problem. However, only a few research studies have reported oral motor functions and dysfunctions in children. Our chapter describes the relationship between oral motor functions (chewing, swallowing, and breathing) and maxillofacial morphology in children. In addition, case studies on children with cerebral palsy and sleep aspiration disorders will also be introduced. This study would also like to clarify the significance of human oral function development from infancy in pediatric dentistry.
Slope Stability Analyses Subjected to Slide Head Toppling Failure Mechanisms
Authors: Mwango Bowa Victor , Samson Abdul
Published: December 2022

It is faulty to analyze the jointed rock slopes’ stability susceptible to a combination of modes of failure composed of sliding around the toe region and toppling of the rock blocks on the upper part of the slope based on the current analytical methods, which are based on assumption that the distribution of the potential failure surface bounding the potential mixed failure runs predictably from crest to toe of the slope. An Analytical model that takes into consideration the kinematic mechanism of the discontinuous rock slope with counter-tilted weak plane subjected to a combination of failure mechanisms involving sliding and toppling has hence been presented in this chapter. This involves an iterative process which involves the calculations of the dimensions of all the individual blocks as well as the forces acting on them, and then stability of every block is examined, starting at the uppermost block. The stability analysis of each block is determined. The blocks may either be stable, topple or slide. The proposed analytical methods could curtail errors incurred due to the acceptance of the single weak plane for quantifying the failure mechanisms composed of slide head toppling rock slopes in physical situations with two planar weak planes.
