We did 194 epochs of simultaneous 2.25/8.60 GHz observations of XTE J1810−197 in 926 days shortly following its reactivation in 2018 with Shanghai Tian Ma Radio Telescope (TMRT). Although its integrated profiles changed with both time and frequency during this period, they could be classified into 12 types according to phase areas of active radiation components. After MJD 59015, XTE J1810−197 turned from the normal emission state into the spiky emission state that was manifesting as a series of bright narrow sub-pulse bursts at both 2.25 and 8.60 GHz. Due to its variable integrated profiles and unsteady rotations, we got the spin frequency ν and spin-frequency derivatives

We found its flux densities went through three stages: sharp decrease, stabilization, and day-to-day fluctuations in our dual-frequency observations. Although the flux density showed different stages, XTE J1810−197 showed a relatively flat spectrum (α > –1) in most observations. Assuming an ideal dipole magnetic field as some previous research works, we obtained the emission heights of XTE J1810−197 were about 7.5(9) × 104 km and 2.38(7) × 104 km at 2.25 and 8.60 GHz, respectively. We also found that its emission heights would decrease rapidly with the degree of magnetic field twisting.

We present an analytic model for the cool, T ∼ 104 K, circumgalactic medium (CGM), describing the gas distribution, and thermal and ionization states.

Let’s Sweep: The Effect of Evolving J
2 on the Resonant Structure of a Three-planet System
Authors: Faridani Thea H. , Naoz Smadar , Li Gongjie , Inzunza Nicholas
Published: October 2023

Short and ultrashort period planets are peculiar types of exoplanets with periods as short as a few days or less. Although it is challenging to detect them, already several have been observed, with many additional candidates. If these planets have formation pathways similar to their longer-period counterparts, they are predicted to reside in multiplanet systems. Thus, gravitational perturbation from potential planetary neighbors may affect their orbital configuration. However, due to their close proximity to their host star, they are also subject to general relativity precession and torques from the stellar spin quadrupole moment (J
2). Here we show that an evolving J
2 due to magnetic braking affects the magnitude and location of secular resonances of the short-period planet in a multiplanet system, thus driving the short-period planet into and out of a secular resonance, exciting the planet’s eccentricity and inclination. The high inclination can hinder transit observation and, in some cases, the high eccentricity may result in an unstable configuration. We propose that evolving J
2 in a multiplanet system can be critical to understanding the detectability and stability of short-period planets.
Non-universality of the Turbulent Spectra at Sub-ion Scales in the Solar Wind: Dispersive Effects versus the Doppler Shift
Authors: Sahraoui Fouad , Huang Shiyong
Published: October 2023

Large surveys of the power spectral density of the magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind have reported different slope distributions at MHD, sub-ion and sub-electron scales: the smaller the scale, the broader the distribution. Here, we review briefly some of the most relevant explanations of the broadening of the slopes at sub-ion scales. Then, we present a new one that has been overlooked in the literature, which is based on the relative importance of the dispersive effects with respect to the Doppler shift due to the mean flow speed. We build a toy model based on a dispersion relation of a linear mode that matches at high frequency (ω ≳ ω
ci) the Alfvén (respectively whistler) mode at high oblique (respectively quasi-parallel) propagation angles θ

The Role of Digital Health in the Early Detection and Management of Obstetric Complications in the Community: A Systematic Review
Authors: Latifah Ermiza , Siregar Kemal , Delmaifanis Delmaifanis
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: According to the World Health Organization, obstetric complications are thought to be the cause of death for 10.7 million mothers worldwide. In developing countries like Indonesia, maternal mortality rates are still high. Compared to 2019, there were 418 more incidents of maternal death in 2020.
AIM: The goal of the study was to explain how much digital technology contributed to the early identification of risk factors for obstetric complications.
METHODS: The work stages were observed while conducting the review, and relevant publications from databases were used. These databases  included PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and Scopus. The papers were retrieved between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2022, using the keywords “pregnant lady” AND (Telemedicine OR “Mobile Health” OR Telehealth OR mHealth) AND (“Labor Complication” OR “Pregnancy  Complication” OR “Puerperal Disorder”). Forty-five articles that discussed early obstetric detection and management were obtained based on the established inclusion criteria and met the inclusion requirements.
RESULTS: The term “telemedicine applications” refers to the use of health communications technology to provide remote consultation, diagnosis, education, and treatment services to detect and diagnose pregnancy complications and manage pregnancy and care during pregnancy. Applications  for smartphones offer a tremendous deal of potential to enhance pregnant women’s health. Support is required for maternal health services to help with antenatal care services in the community setting. The program can identify and manage pregnancy-related issues like weight gain, diabetes mellitus, nausea, vomiting, HIV, hemolysis, and depression.
CONCLUSION: It is expected that this review would be able to identify any difficulties that mothers may face early on in their pregnancies. In addition, it is believed that existing applications would be able to manage the moms’ health and perform the necessary interventions and tactics to reduce difficulties.

Published: October 2023

Stingless bees (Hymenoptera, Meliponini) are a large and diverse group including 59 extant groups, representing the main pollinators of Amazon forests. Among those, Trigona is one of the largest endemic genera of Neotropical Meliponini. In this work, we updated the molecular phylogeny of Trigona proposed by Rasmussen and Camargo (2008), including data from 59 new specimens collected in 2020 in the forests of northern Peru, through a multigene phylogenetic approach combining sequences from four gene fragments (16S, ArgK, EF-1a, opsin). Our results confirmed the monophyly of Trigona and of all proposed subgenera, except Aphaneura. In addition, most Trigona species-groups resulted monophyletic but the ‘spinipes’ and ‘pallens’ groups appeared paraphyletic and polyphyletic, respectively. Moreover, the cohesion of the “fulviventris” species group was hindered by the inclusion of T. williana (previously included in the “pallens” group) within this clade. Finally, we provided further evidence for a subdivision into two (geographically) distinct clades within T. guianae in northern Peruvian Amazon, which highlighted the importance of Neotropical biogeographical barriers in Meliponini divergence and evolution. Finally, to avoid misidentifications of Trigona specimens, the need for a robust taxonomic revision based on a cladistic approach of the whole genus is discussed.
Economic analysis of lithium-ion battery recycling
Authors: Jorges Eduardo Enrique Martinez , Quintino António M.N. , Santos Diogo M.F.
Published: October 2023

Battery needs are increasing due to the exponential growth in demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy generation. These factors lead to the growing waste management of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Thus, recycling or finding a second life for LIBs is a growing industry due to its environmental and economic benefits. This work compares the benefits, economic advantages and disadvantages of battery recycling, including second-life battery applications. Different reports and case studies are analyzed to define the materials that may be recovered and the efficiency of the recycling process. To understand the economics of using recycled, second use, or new LIBs, this work evaluates three distinct projects, namely residential, commercial, and solar farm storage. The investigation aims to calculate and compare the net present value (NPV) for the residential storage project and the equivalent annual cost (EAC) for each project to determine the most viable industrial process within those parameters. The data analysis demonstrated that the second-life battery project has the lowest EAC, making it the most viable industrial process. However, although the second-life battery project presents the highest NPV for the project's first 10 years, the recycled battery project shows the highest NPV for the remainder of a typical 20-year project.
A sustainable scheduling system for medical equipment: Towards net zero goals for green healthcare
Authors: Wu Baotong , Tang Qi
Published: October 2023

Shortages of medical equipment, growth in medical waste and carbon emissions have increased healthcare pressures and has a huge impact on the environment. An efficient scheduling of medical equipment will effectively reduce the pressure on healthcare and improve the healthcare system's ability to respond to unexpected disasters. A medical equipment scheduling system was established to improve the sustainable utilization of medical equipment within the healthcare network and to reduce the carbon emissions of the healthcare process. First, this paper combines medical equipment information to establish a medical equipment scheduling decision model that considers pollution to filter qualified medical equipment for scheduling. Then, this paper constructs and solves a multi-objective robust optimization model by collecting the patient's travel information and the medical pressure information of each region. In addition, to meet dynamic healthcare needs, a dynamic medical equipment configuration framework was constructed to enhance the flexibility of equipment scheduling and the resilience of the healthcare network. Combined with case studies, the results show that the medical equipment scheduling system can help decision makers make quick scheduling decisions and achieve sustainable use of medical equipment, with a corresponding increase in medical equipment utilization of 12.25% and a reduction in carbon emissions of 26.50%. The study will help enhance healthcare resource utilization and contribute to the net-zero goal of green healthcare.
Design and implementation of a smart Internet of Things chest pain center based on deep learning
Authors: Li Feng , Bi Zhongao , Xu Hongzeng , Shi Yunqi , Duan Na , Li Zhaoyu
Published: October 2023

The data input process for most chest pain centers is not intelligent, requiring a lot of staff to manually input patient information. This leads to problems such as long processing times, high potential for errors, an inability to access patient data in a timely manner and an increasing workload. To address the challenge, an Internet of Things (IoT)-driven chest pain center is designed, which crosses the sensing layer, network layer and application layer. The system enables the construction of intelligent chest pain management through a pre-hospital app, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) positioning, and in-hospital treatment. The pre-hospital app is provided to emergency medical services (EMS) centers, which allows them to record patient information in advance and keep it synchronized with the hospital's database, reducing the time needed for treatment. UWB positioning obtains the patient's hospital information through the zero-dimensional base station and the corresponding calculation engine, and in-hospital treatment involves automatic acquisition of patient information through web and mobile applications. The system also introduces the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM)-Conditional Random Field (CRF)-based algorithm to train electronic medical record information for chest pain patients, extracting the patient's chest pain clinical symptoms. The resulting data are saved in the chest pain patient database and uploaded to the national chest pain center. The system has been used in Liaoning Provincial People's Hospital, and its subsequent assistance to doctors and nurses in collaborative treatment, data feedback and analysis is of great significance.

Managing Nematode Infection in Fruit Orchards
Authors: Abobatta Waleed Fouad , Abdel-Raheem Mohamed
Published: October 2023

Plant-parasitic nematodes are one of the biggest threats to the production of various fruit crops worldwide. Nematodes cause adverse impacts on various crops, such as declining plant growth, and may lead to the destruction of large areas, like in banana, peach, and citrus orchards. Yellowing, stunting, and wilting are common symptoms of nematode infection in fruit orchards, and they are all associated with tree decline and decreasing yield. The efficiency of controlling nematodes varies due to many biotic and abiotic factors, such as soil type, nematode species, host plant physiology, and climate conditions, which affect nematode dynamics and infestation in the soil. Therefore, using integrated strategies with new management practices for controlling nematode infection is required to reduce economic loss for fruit producers. Hence, using biological control field management practices such as fallow, cover crops, and mulching, could be an effective way to inhibit nematodes' growth. Thus, they sustain the production of various crops, protect the environment, and preserve human health.

To build this professional capacity, highly effective teachers may engage in instructional coaching to help teachers gain the necessary skills to increase efficacy and effectiveness. When teachers take on the role of instructional coach, there must also be an intentional purpose toward the relationships that take place between the principal, coach, and teacher to ensure an effective approach in commitment to teacher growth. Thjs chapter posits that elementary literacy is critical in building the foundational skills that are necessary for student success as they progress into secondary settings, providing college and career readiness. This chapter will address a conceptual framework for evidence-based instructional coaching to improve writing instruction in elementary schools.
Guidelines for Effective Implementation of the Developing Strategic Learners Writing Approach
Authors: Traga Philippakos Zoi A. , Voggt Ashley , Grace Linda
Published: October 2023

Effective leaders support and promote teacher learning and student academic success. Even though policies address teacher instruction and preparation on reading, less attention is given to writing and even less to the role of principals and literacy leaders on the implementation of evidence-based practices on writing. Drawing from research on effective principals, and on guidelines offered by principals, who have engaged in genre-based strategy instruction on writing, the authors will provide suggestions for those who are interested in sustainable reform efforts on writing. The chapter will explain the genre-based strategy instruction approach, its professional development model, will comment on “lessons learned” across collaborations, and offer specific recommendations for district-wide and school-wide applications. Finally, implications for teacher-preparation programs will be discussed as those address literacy within leadership programs.
Expanding Potential for Written Engagement With the Visual and Textual
Authors: DeHart Jason D.
Published: October 2023

This chapter focuses on the extended possibilities of considering what is textual and written alongside the visual, a move that has been noted by literacy scholars for some time. In the author's state of residence, writing has become an overlooked aspect of the curriculum and, in the author's high school context, writing engagement itself exists on an uneven continuum among students. Moreover, literacy is becoming a closed venture as book bans increase and authors are absent on shelves, yet resonant and intriguing for adolescent readers who are seeking authentic voices.
Cognitive Warfare
Authors: Yu Szde
Published: October 2023

Information warfare is one crucial aspect of cyber security. Unlike physical targets, such as network systems or electronic devices, information warfare is aimed at manipulating what people believe to be true and thereby swaying public perceptions. A more organized and advanced form of information warfare is called cognitive warfare. It is a psychological strategy intended to gradually influence the targeted public's belief, opinion, and perception about a subject, such as an event, a politician, a government, or an ideology in general. This chapter discusses the tactics commonly used in cognitive warfare. Using the China-Taiwan relationship as an example, this chapter illustrates how such warfare is carried out.

Published: October 2023

Cooperative financial institutions operate under general cooperative principles, with a vision for economic, social, and environmental balance. In Ecuador, this model of finance gained momentum in 2012 with the creation of the superintendence of the social and solidarity economy, which regulates the country's cooperative sector. This research focuses on segment one, institutions with assets greater than $80 million. Currently, developments in the environmental area, or green finance, fall under the control standard for the management of environmental and social risk in savings and credit cooperatives and mutualists. The regulation provides the guidelines for implementing the social environmental risk management system (SARAS), which classifies risk based on the environmental impact of economic activities. It also includes a list of activities of activities excluded from financial services due to their negative implications for the social and environmental areas. This research analyzes and critiques the aspects, requirements, and conditions of the implementation of these regulations.

Published: October 2023

In this paper, the effect of rotary friction welding on hardness and microstructures of weld zones and base metal zones of Ti-6Al-4V and Cu have been investigated. A rotary friction welding technique was used to perform dissimilar joining of Cu and Ti-6Al-4V bars. Friction welding process parameters were optimized process parameters of a 5-ton rotary friction welding machine. The upset pressures were applied from 30 kg/mm2, 40 kg/mm2 and 50 kg/mm2. The dissimilar joint was successfully formed at upset pressure of 50 kg/mm2. The friction welded joints were failed in drop test after welding at the lower upset pressures (30 kg/mm2 and 40 kg/mm2).The hardness and microstructures were characterized for weld joint formed at 50 kg/mm2. The weld zone, base metal and weld interface and base metals were analysed to understand microstructures and elemental diffusion of Ti and Cu. The welded specimens were examined by using an optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. Grain refinement was seen in Cu near the interface of the joint whereas in the case of titanium circular patterns of grains were seen near the interface of the joint. The micro hardness of Ti-6Al-4V was increased from 307 HV to 365 HV and for Cu increased from 240 HV to 290 HV. Intermetallic compounds such TiCu4 and Ti2Cu were found at weld zone by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Published: October 2023

Waste management is a globally relevant issue of absolute importance. Awareness of the reuse and use of waste, as well as the implementation of methodologies that promote these ideologies, are vital to solving this problem to a large extent. By merging this project with the issue of waste management, specifically the handling of single-use plastics, the authors focus on researching and developing a material that replaces plastic in product packaging, seeking to take advantage of the waste generated in cassava agriculture and promoting the concept of circular economy. Bacterial cellulose is analyzed, considering it a natural and renewable material capable of replacing polypropylene in single-use packaging. A biocellulose manufacturing plant from cassava is proposed. To do this, the research begins with an analysis of the properties of this product, its production methods, the conditions and factors that influence its growth, and its possible applications. The design of a productive pilot plant of bacterial cellulose is studied, with the necessary machinery, elements, sizing, and raw materials required for the described production volumes. Finally, a simulation of the production lines is carried out using the software program Anylogic Simulation, to obtain validation of the proposed plant. Throughout the work, the relationship with the Sustainable Development Goals, the reduction of CO2 emissions, and the replacement of single-use plastics are considered.
On-Machine CIS SoC-Based Layerwise Inspection System for MEX Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Fernández Alejandro , Fernández Pedro , Peña Fernando , Blanco David
Published: October 2023

Additive manufacturing processes build three-dimensional objects usually following a layer-upon-layer strategy. An interesting feature of this strategy is that each layer could be inspected before the next one is deposited. On-machine integration of layerwise inspection systems would not only allow for early characterization of the dimensional and geometric quality of the part, but also for the detection of intralayer defects. Contact image sensors (CIS), such as those used in desktop flatbed scanners, could be used for this purpose since they would provide bi-dimensional digital images of the whole layer and its neighborhood. CIS images combine high resolutions with a reduced acquisition time. In this work, a material extrusion (MEX) additive manufacturing system, with layerwise inspection capabilities is proposed. The system has been equipped with the CIS that Epson uses in its Perfection V39 flatbed scanner. The sensor provides two analog output signals, each one consisting on 2584 voltage levels, that represent the amount of light reflected by the material. This analog information is sent to a parallel AD converter, where an 8-bit encoding is assigned to each one of the pixels on the digitized image. To overcome microcontroller-related problems, a Zynq®-7000 system-on-chip (SoC) has been used. This SoC integrates an ARM® based processor, with the hardware programming of a field programmable gate array (FPGA). This architecture ensures an accurate and controlled readout of the various AD converters. The resultant digital image of each layer could then be then processed using different algorithms to detect defects, extract the geometry of the layer contour and characterize the dimensional and geometric quality of the object. In the example provided, a forced error consisting on 0.2 mm height local deviations, caused by a variation in extrusion temperature, was identified from 2D grayscale images obtained with the CIS sensor.
Performance of Strength and Modulii Characteristics of Ceramic Waste Aggregate Concrete (CWAC)
Authors: Giridhar Valikala , Sreenath Mahankali
Published: October 2023

Rapid industrialization in 21st century resulted in emission of both by-products and wastes which are producing at an alarming rate in India. Development cannot be ceased by referring to pollution and waste as justification; instead of it is essential to be decided how to reduce and manage the waste generated near by the industries. One of the solution is waste may be recycled or substituted to replace traditional ingredients in new concrete compositions and benefit to reduce their toxic effects on the environment. The Ceramic Industry is one of the largest industries to manufacture ceramic components. In Ceramic Industries, nearly 30% of the waste will be produced on a daily basis because of its unique characteristics of brittle nature and its clay composition. As a result of this, incorporating industrial waste into the concrete mix would help to minimize the usage of natural aggregates into the composition but due to the usage of ingredients are rapidly depleting, as well as help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The impact of replacing traditional coarse aggregates with ceramic waste aggregates in the structure of Ceramic Waste Aggregate Concrete (CWAC) is investigated in this paper. The study's parameters included replacing coarse aggregate (CA) with ceramic waste aggregates (CWA) at a rate of 0 to 100% with a regular incremental interval of 20%. Flexural strength and stress-strain behavior of CWAC are examined. Workability, Compaction Factor, Compressive Strength and Flexural Strength Tests were conducted on Regular Concrete and Ceramic Waste Aggregate Concrete (CWAC). Results of CWAC were fruitful compared to Regular Concrete. CWAC20 and CWAC40 are most feasible in replacing Regular concrete in the aspects of Young’s Modulus and Flexural Strength. This study would help to ensure that the quantity availability of CWA near ceramic industries.
Notopterol Inhibits the NF-κB Pathway and Activates the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 Pathway in Periodontal Tissue
Authors: Zhou Jianpeng , Shi Peilei , Ma Rui , Xie Xudong , Zhao Lei , Wang Jun
Published: October 2023

Notopterol, an active component isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Notopterygium incisum Ting ex H.T. Chang, exerts anti-inflammatory activity in rheumatoid arthritis. However, its roles in suppression of inflammatory insults and halting progression of tissue destruction in periodontitis remain elusive. In this study, we reveal that notopterol can inhibit osteoclastogenesis, thereby limiting alveolar bone loss in vivo. In vitro results demonstrated that notopterol administration inhibited synthesis of inflammatory mediators such as IL-1β, IL-32, and IL-8 in LPS-stimulated human gingival fibroblasts. Mechanistically, notopterol inhibits activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway, which is considered a prototypical proinflammatory signaling pathway. RNA sequencing data revealed that notopterol activates the PI3K/protein kinase B (Akt)/NF-E2–related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway in LPS-stimulated human gingival fibroblasts, a phenomenon validated via Western blot assay. Additionally, notopterol treatment suppressed reactive oxygen species levels by upregulating the expression of antioxidant genes, including heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), catalase (CAT), and glutathione reductase (GSR), indicating that notopterol confers protection against oxidative stress. Notably, inhibition of Akt activity by the potent inhibitor, MK-2206, partially attenuated both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of notopterol. Collectively, these results raise the possibility that notopterol relieves periodontal inflammation by suppressing and activating the NF-κB and PI3K/AKT/Nrf2 signaling pathways in periodontal tissue, respectively, suggesting its potential as an efficacious treatment therapy for periodontitis.

Published: October 2023

The modern society is developing rapidly, and humanity is facing unprecedented environmental pollution, global warming, climate change and various environmental problems. As a result, companies, a key social organization in modern capitalist society, are increasingly taking environmental and social responsibility. ESG management is an enterprise management that emphasizes non-financial factors (environment, society and corporate government). Recently, ESG considerations have become increasingly important in corporate management and investment. In preparation for this situation, companies are continuously releasing sustainability report to improve internal systems and build systems. As society is paying keen attention to ESG management, the number of actual management cases is increasing. However, in proportion to this interest, cases of greenwashing, which can be called fake eco-friendly marketing, have also been discovered, such as eco-friendly products or exaggerated carbon emission reductions.

Objectives : This study aimed to monitor ammonia volatilization in upland fields under different nitrogen fertilizer applications, comparing compost manure (CM) and composite fertilizer (CF) and investigate the environmental factors influencing ammonia volatilization.Methods : Ammonia was collected using the static chamber method in upland fields, and the soil analyses were conducted before and after ammonia volatilization monitoring. Pearson's correlation analysis and machine learning were utilized to determine the relationship between ammonia volatilization and environmental factors. Growth characteristics of harvested crops were analyzed, and Duncan analysis confirmed significant differences between nitrogen fertilizer treatments.Results and Discussion : In both CM and CF fertilized fields, there was no significant difference in ammonia volatilization. However, more ammonia volatilization was observed in the potato field compared to the Chinese cabbage field, attributed to higher NH4+-N content in the soil of the potato field. Machine learning identified soil temperature and moisture as significant factors affecting ammonia volatilization. The analysis of crop growth revealed a positive effect of increased nitrogen fertilizer application. The result showed that single CM application was insufficient to meet crop nutrient demands.Conclusion : This study quantified ammonia emissions, identified influencing factors, and provided valuable data for enhancing fertilizer use efficiency and nitrogen management strategies in agriculture.

. В связи с внедрением новых форматов, форм и технологий в процесс профессиональной под-готовки курсантов морского вуза, встает вопрос оценки качества профессиональной подготов-ки. Большая часть занятий выделена для самостоятельного изучения курсантами, а в норматив-ных документах прописаны требуемые компетенции, которые курсанты должны освоить за пе-риод профессиональной подготовки. Но для внедряемых современных технологий реализации образовательного процесса необходимы и современные наборы инструментов для оценки сфор-мированности профессиональной компетентности в целом и ее компонентов в частности. Мо-тивационный компонент оказывает огромное значение на формирование профессиональной компетентности курсантов морского вуза в условиях смешанного обучения, а значит необходим контроль за динамикой его изменения. Для этого требуется технология, с помощью которой можно будет отслеживать формирование мотивационного компонента профессиональной ком-петентности курсантов морского вуза в условиях смешанного обучения, подбирать оптималь-ные формы проведения занятий в рамках учебного процесса, способствовать эффективному освоению необходимых компетенций. Такой технологией может стать профессиографический мониторинг.
