Published: May 2023

Introduction

Trunk muscle endurance (TME) tests are commonly used by clinicians to assess muscle performance changes in response to rehabilitation in patients with low back pain (LBP). The aim of this study was to assess the responsiveness of three TME-tests in patients with LBP and to evaluate the relationships between changes in TME and improvement in self-reported function.

Materials and Methods

Eighty-four LBP patients were evaluated at baseline and after completion of a 6-week training program. Function was assessed with the modified Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) while TME was estimated using three tests: (1) the Biering-Sørensen, (2) the side bridge endurance tests (both sides), and (3) the trunk flexor endurance test. The standardized response mean (SRM) and the minimal clinical important difference (MCID) for each TME-test, and the relationships between changes in TME and improvement in ODI were calculated.

Results

SRMs were small to large for TME-tests (range: 0.43–0.82), and large for the ODI (2.85) and no clinically useful MCID was identified for the TME-tests (area under the curve below 0.70). No significant correlations were found between changes in the TME and change in ODI scores (r < 0.15; all P > 0.05).

Conclusion

Our results show a weak responsiveness of TME-tests in patients with LBP. There was no association between endurance performance change and self-reported functional change. TME-tests may not be a key component of rehabilitation monitoring in patients with LBP.
Exploring Public Attitudes and Acceptance of CCUS Technologies in JABODETABEK: A Cross-Sectional Study

Published: May 2023

One of the most essential elements of environmental protection is an appropriate policy towards carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS). On the one hand, these technologies are being dynamically developed. Still, on the other hand, we often encounter social resistance to change and new technologies, which is one of the main barriers to their implementation. This research examined public acceptance and awareness of Indonesia’s CCUS technologies. Five hundred respondents completed an online survey representing Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Bekasi, and Tangerang. The study found that the respondents had more favourable feelings towards carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) than CO2 capture and storage (CCS), perceiving CCU as more innovative, necessary, cost-effective, secure, environmentally friendly, and beneficial to regional and national economies than CCS. However, in Indonesia, most respondents did not embrace the development of CCUS technology due to a lack of knowledge and fear, which can lead to violence. The results indicate that an individual’s awareness of perceived risks and the ability to safeguard the environment are crucial to their acceptance of CCUS technology. These findings contribute to understanding the public perception of CCUS technologies in Indonesia and can help to develop effective communication strategies to improve public understanding and acceptance of CCUS initiatives.

Published: May 2023

In this article, the probiotic strains of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei ABK and Lactobacillus helveticus H9 were cultured in reconstituted skim milk (RSM medium) and MRS broth, and the cell biomass was removed at the end of fermentation in order to obtain postbiotic substances. In postbiotics, the composition of total amino acids, and also the content of free amino acids and organic acids were analyzed. It was shown that in all RSM-based postbiotic substances the concentration of all free amino acids increased. On the contrary, in the MRS-based postbiotics free amino acids were mostly consumed during fermentation; however, a substantial, two-fold, decrease in methionine concentration was observed in postbiotics obtained with L. paracasei ABK. Both L. paracasei ABK and L. helveticus H9 strains showed change in their fermentation profile from homofermentative in MRS broth to mix-acid fermentation in RSM medium. Both strains produced lactic acid in the investigated media and produced lactate together with acetate in RSM. L. helveticus H9 additionally synthesizes succinic acid on both media. Thus, it has been shown that RSM is more preferable than MRS for fermentation with L. paracasei ABK and L. helveticus H9 for obtaining postbiotics enriched with free amino acids and organic acids.

Authors: Siles Gabriela Llanet , Leconte Robert
Published: May 2023

Reservoir ice can have an important impact on the watershed scale and influence hydraulic operations. On the other hand, hydropower generation can also impact the ice regime. In this study, multi-source satellite and ERA5-land data are used to evaluate ice conditions. Specifically, ice-controlling variables (temperature, water levels), ice regime (cover/deformation, thickness) and their interrelations are assessed for a 5-year period from 2017 to 2021. The methodology is applied to the Manicouagan reservoir, one of the largest hydropower reservoirs in Quebec, Canada. The satellite-based land surface temperatures (LSTs) suggest that winter 2021 was the hottest one. Overall, MODIS and Landsat LSTs agree with the ERA5-land temperatures. Ice backscatter from Sentinel-1 indicates that, in general, the reservoir is completely covered by ice from January to March. A correlation of 0.6 and 0.8 is observed between C- and Ku-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) signal and ice thickness, respectively. Important ice changes inferred from Differential Interferometric SAR (D-InSAR) occur approximately at the position where the largest ERA5-land ice thickness differences are observed. Winter water levels are also evaluated using satellite altimetric data to verify their influence on the ice dynamics. They show a decreasing tendency as the winter advances.

Taraxaci folium and Matricariae flos plant extracts contain a wide range of bioactive compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of the study was to evaluate the phytochemical and antioxidant profile of the two plant extracts to obtain a mucoadhesive polymeric film with beneficial properties in acute gingivitis. The chemical composition of the two plant extracts was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. To establish a favourable ratio in the combination of the two extracts, the antioxidant capacity was determined by the method of reduction of copper ions Cu2+ from neocuprein and by reduction of the compound 1.1-diphenyl-2-2picril-hydrazyl. Following preliminary analysis, we selected the plant mixture Taraxaci folium/matricariae flos in the ratio of 1:2 (m/m), having an antioxidant capacity of 83.92% ± 0.02 reduction of free nitrogen radical of 1.1-diphenyl-2-2picril-hydrazyl reagent. Subsequently, bioadhesive films of 0.2 mm thickness were obtained using various concentrations of polymer and plant extract. The mucoadhesive films obtained were homogeneous and flexible, with pH ranging from 6.634 to 7.016 and active ingredient release capacity ranging from 85.94–89.52%. Based on in vitro analysis, the film containing 5% polymer and 10% plant extract was selected for in vivo study. The study involved 50 patients undergoing professional oral hygiene followed by a 7-day treatment with the chosen mucoadhesive polymeric film. The study showed that the film used helped accelerate the healing of acute gingivitis after treatment, with anti-inflammatory and protective action.
Exploring Routes to Enhance the Calculation of Free Energy Differences via Non-Equilibrium Work SQM/MM Switching Simulations Using Hybrid Charge Intermediates between MM and SQM Levels of Theory or Non-Linear Switching Schemes
Authors: Schöller Andreas , Woodcock H. Lee , Boresch Stefan
Published: May 2023

Non-equilibrium work switching simulations and Jarzynski’s equation are a reliable method for computing free energy differences, ΔAlow→high, between two levels of theory, such as a pure molecular mechanical (MM) and a quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) description of a system of interest. Despite the inherent parallelism, the computational cost of this approach can quickly become very high. This is particularly true for systems where the core region, the part of the system to be described at different levels of theory, is embedded in an environment such as explicit solvent water. We find that even for relatively simple solute–water systems, switching lengths of at least 5 ps are necessary to compute ΔAlow→high reliably. In this study, we investigate two approaches towards an affordable protocol, with an emphasis on keeping the switching length well below 5 ps. Inserting a hybrid charge intermediate state with modified partial charges, which resembles the charge distribution of the desired high level, makes it possible to obtain reliable calculations with 2 ps switches. Attempts using step-wise linear switching paths, on the other hand, did not lead to improvement, i.e., a faster convergence for all systems. To understand these findings, we analyzed the solutes’ properties as a function of the partial charges used and the number of water molecules in direct contact with the solute, and studied the time needed for water molecules to reorient themselves upon a change in the solute’s charge distribution.
Impact of the Addition of Fruits of Kamchatka Berries (L. caerulea var. kamtschatica) and Haskap (L. caerulea var. emphyllocalyx) on the Physicochemical Properties, Polyphenolic Content, Antioxidant Activity and Sensory Evaluation Craft Wheat Beers

Published: May 2023

Kamchatka berry (Lonicera caerulea var. kamtschatica) and haskap (Lonicera caerulea var. emphyllocalyx) fruit are important sources of bioactive compounds, mainly polyphenols, but also macro- and microelements. Physico-chemical analysis showed that wheat beers with added fruit were characterised by an average 14.06% higher ethanol content, lower bitterness and intense colour compared to the control, which was a wheat beer without added fruit. Wheat beers enriched with kamchatka berry fruit, including the “Aurora” variety, had the highest polyphenolic profile (e.g., chlorogenic acid content averaged 7.30 mg/L), and the antioxidant activity of fruit-enriched wheat beers determined by the DPPH method showed higher antioxidant activity of wheat beers enriched with kamchatka berry fruit, while those determined by the FRAP and ABTS methods showed higher antioxidant activity of wheat beers enriched with haskap fruit, including the “Willa” variety. Sensory evaluation of the beer product showed that wheat beers enriched with kamchatka berry fruits of the “Duet” variety and haskap fruits of the “Willa” variety were characterised by the most balanced taste and aroma. On the basis of the conducted research, it follows that both kamchatka berry fruits of the “Duet” and “Aurora” varieties and haskap fruit of the “Willa” variety can be used successfully in the production of fruity wheat beers.

Published: May 2023

In this paper, the copolymerization of poly (p-dioxanone) (PPDO) and polylactide (PLA) was carried out via a Diels–Alder reaction to obtain a new biodegradable copolymer with self-healing abilities. By altering the molecular weights of PPDO and PLA precursors, a series of copolymers (DA2300, DA3200, DA4700 and DA5500) with various chain segment lengths were created. After verifying the structure and molecular weight by 1H NMR, FT-IR and GPC, the crystallization behavior, self-healing properties and degradation properties of the copolymers were evaluated by DSC, POM, XRD, rheological measurements and enzymatic degradation. The results show that copolymerization based on the DA reaction effectively avoids the phase separation of PPDO and PLA. Among the products, DA4700 showed a better crystallization performance than PLA, and the half-crystallization time was 2.8 min. Compared to PPDO, the heat resistance of the DA copolymers was improved and the Tm increased from 93 °C to 103 °C. Significantly, the rheological data also confirmed that the copolymer was self-healing and showed obvious self-repairing properties after simple tempering. In addition, an enzyme degradation experiment showed that the DA copolymer can be degraded by a certain amount, with the degradation rate lying between those of PPDO and PLA.
Provenance-Based Trust-Aware Requirements Engineering Framework for Self-Adaptive Systems
Authors: Lee Hyo-Cheol , Lee Seok-Won
Published: May 2023

With the development of artificial intelligence technology, systems that can actively adapt to their surroundings and cooperate with other systems have become increasingly important. One of the most important factors to consider during the process of cooperation among systems is trust. Trust is a social concept that assumes that cooperation with an object will produce positive results in the direction we intend. Our objectives are to propose a method for defining trust during the requirements engineering phase in the process of developing self-adaptive systems and to define the trust evidence models required to evaluate the defined trust at runtime. To achieve this objective, we propose in this study a provenance-based trust-aware requirement engineering framework for self-adaptive systems. The framework helps system engineers derive the user’s requirements as a trust-aware goal model through analysis of the trust concept in the requirements engineering process. We also propose a provenance-based trust evidence model to evaluate trust and provide a method for defining this model for the target domain. Through the proposed framework, a system engineer can treat trust as a factor emerging from the requirements engineering phase for the self-adaptive system and understand the factors affecting trust using the standardized format.

Complete coverage path planning requires that the mobile robot traverse all reachable positions in the environmental map. Aiming at the problems of local optimal path and high path coverage ratio in the complete coverage path planning of the traditional biologically inspired neural network algorithm, a complete coverage path planning algorithm based on Q-learning is proposed. The global environment information is introduced by the reinforcement learning method in the proposed algorithm. In addition, the Q-learning method is used for path planning at the positions where the accessible path points are changed, which optimizes the path planning strategy of the original algorithm near these obstacles. Simulation results show that the algorithm can automatically generate an orderly path in the environmental map, and achieve 100% coverage with a lower path repetition ratio.

The article deals with the problem of defining an invariant for the category of territorial economic security. The study proposes a logical scheme to solve the problem. It consists of three research objectives, with their solution determining the direction for further research on the problem in question. As a result of their solutions, universal definitions of such categories as security and territory were developed, resulting in the authors’ definition of territorial security. Using a specified economic concept and based on the classification of vital goods, the authors propose to define the territorial economic security as a reflexive and valuable subjective determination (perception) of a physical space separated from other spaces with borders as one that is resistant to certain known internal and external existing and (or) potential exposures aimed at reducing the ability of society to meet its life necessities. With the definition proposed, it is possible to differentiate a place of the territorial economic security problem among the general problem of the territorial security.
La idiosincrasia educativa española en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje y su impacto en los actores implicados
Authors: Rial Costa Manuel , Rial Costa Sandra , Sánchez Oropeza Gregorio
Published: May 2023

España ha vivido en el último siglo dos grandes períodos de cambios educativos. El primero de ellos vinculado a leyes reguladoras de la educación, donde todo giraba en torno al docente, el cual desempeñaba su función a través de un aprendizaje memorístico.
El segundo surge tras el acercamiento a instituciones internacionales como la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos y la Unión Europea. La firma del tratado de adhesión en 1986 trajo consigo un cambio de corte social y a nivel metodológico con un cambio del rol del docente, cada vez más considerado como una guía en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje del alumnado.
La alternancia política en casi medio siglo ha promovido diversas leyes educativas. La última de ellas, la LOMLOE, que ha reforzado la tendencia de un cambio donde la educación significativa cobra relevancia. A esto hay que sumar una división administrativa, que ajusta el currículo más que a su idiosincrasia al color político, lo que ha provocado una deriva educativa marcada por una brecha entre comunidades del norte y del sur, reflejada en informes como el PISA o estadística acerca del abandono escolar. Todo esto motiva este estudio relacionado con el complejo en el escenario educativo español.
