Recovering the bioactive components from pomegranate peel (PP) in the fruit-processing industry has attracted great attention in terms of minimizing the waste burden, as well as providing a new source of a multitude of functional compounds. The present study aimed to develop a feasible microencapsulation process of PP extract by using pectin and a pectin/2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) blend as coating materials. Microsized powders obtained by a spray drying technique were examined in terms of technological characteristics, exhibiting high powder yield and desirable moisture content, flowability, and cohesive properties. Assuming that the interactions with the used biopolymers occur on the surface hydrophobic domain, their presence significantly improved the thermal stability of the microencapsulated powders up to 200 °C. The health-promoting effects of PP have been associated with its high content in ellagitannins, particularly punicalagin. The obtained PP powders exhibited strong antioxidant and hypoglycemic potential, while an antimicrobial assay revealed their potent activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Additionally, an in vitro release study suggested that the used biopolymers can modify the release of target bioactive compounds, thus establishing a basis for developing an oral-controlled release system. Altogether, biowaste valorization from PP by the production of effective multifunctional microsized powders represents a sustainable way to obtain novel nutraceuticals and/or pharmaceuticals.

Published: January 2024

Black knot (BK) is a deadly disease of European (Prunus domestica) and Japanese (Prunus salicina) plums caused by the hemibiotrophic fungus Apiosporina morbosa. Generally, phytopathogens hamper the balance of primary defense phytohormones, such as salicylic acid (SA)–jasmonic acid (JA) balance, for disease progression. Thus, we quantified the important phytohormone titers in tissues of susceptible and resistant genotypes belonging to European and Japanese plums at five different time points. Our previous results suggested that auxin-cytokinins interplay driven by A. morbosa appeared to be vital in disease progression by hampering the plant defense system. Here, we further show that such hampering of disease progression is likely mediated by perturbance in SA, JA, and, to some extent, gibberellic acid. The results further indicate that SA and JA in plant defense are not always necessarily antagonistic as most of the studies suggest but can be different, especially in woody perennials. Together, our results suggest that the changes in phytohormone levels, especially in terms of SA and JA content due to BK infection and progression in plums, could be used as phytohormonal markers in the identification of BK-resistant cultivars.

Published: January 2024

Recently, suitably sized polymer-based nanogels containing functional groups for the binding of biologically active substances and ultimately degradable to products that can be removed by glomerular filtration have become extensively studied systems in the field of drug delivery. Herein, we designed and tailored the synthesis of hydrophilic and biodegradable poly[N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide-co-N,N′-bis(acryloyl) cystamine-co-6-methacrylamidohexanoyl hydrazine] (PHPMA-BAC-BMH) nanogels. The facile and versatile dispersion polymerization enabled the preparation of nanogels with a diameter below 50 nm, which is the key parameter for efficient and selective passive tumor targeting. The effects of the N,N′-bis(acryloyl) cystamine crosslinker, polymerization composition, and medium including H2O/MetCel and H2O/EtCel on the particle size, particle size distribution, morphology, and polymerization kinetics and copolymer composition were investigated in detail. We demonstrated the formation of a 38 nm colloidally stable PHPMA-BAC-BMH nanogel with a core–shell structure that can be rapidly degraded in the presence of 10 mM glutathione solution under physiologic conditions. The nanogels were stable in an aqueous solution modeling the bloodstream; thus, these nanogels have the potential to become highly important carriers in the drug delivery of various molecules.
Direct Pellet Three-Dimensional Printing of Polybutylene Adipate-co-Terephthalate for a Greener Future
Authors: Karimi Armin , Rahmatabadi Davood , Baghani Mostafa
Published: January 2024

The widespread use of conventional plastics in various industries has resulted in increased oil consumption and environmental pollution. To address these issues, a combination of plastic recycling and the use of biodegradable plastics is essential. Among biodegradable polymers, poly butylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) has attracted significant attention due to its favorable mechanical properties and biodegradability. In this study, we investigated the potential of using PBAT for direct pellet printing, eliminating the need for filament conversion. To determine the optimal printing temperature, three sets of tensile specimens were 3D-printed at varying nozzle temperatures, and their mechanical properties and microstructure were analyzed. Additionally, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) was conducted to evaluate the thermal behavior of the printed PBAT. Furthermore, we designed and printed two structures with different infill percentages (40% and 60%) to assess their compressive strength and energy absorption properties. DMTA revealed that PBAT’s glass–rubber transition temperature is approximately −25 °C. Our findings demonstrate that increasing the nozzle temperature enhances the mechanical properties of PBAT. Notably, the highest nozzle temperature of 200 °C yielded remarkable results, with an elongation of 1379% and a tensile strength of 7.5 MPa. Moreover, specimens with a 60% infill density exhibited superior compressive strength (1338 KPa) and energy absorption compared with those with 40% infill density (1306 KPa). The SEM images showed that with an increase in the nozzle temperature, the quality of the print was greatly improved, and it was difficult to find microholes or even a layered structure for the sample printed at 200 °C.

Published: January 2024

The synergistic effect between different fillers plays a crucial role in determining the performance of composites. In this work, spherical boron nitride (BN) and flaky BN are used as hybrid fillers to improve the thermal conductivity (TC) of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites. A series of HDPE composites were prepared by adjusting the mass ratio (1:0, 4:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, and 0:1) of spherical BN and flaky BN. The SEM results indicate that the spherical BN (with a particle size of 3 μm) effectively filled the gaps between the flaky BN (with a particle size of 30 μm), leading to the formation of more continuous heat conduction paths with the composite. Remarkably, when the mass ratio of spherical BN to flaky BN was set to 1:4 (with a total BN filling amount of 30 wt%), the TC of the composite could reach up to 1.648 Wm−1K−1, which is obviously higher than that of the composite containing a single filler, realizing the synergistic effect of the hybrid fillers. In addition, the synergistic effect of fillers also affects the thermal stability and crystallization behavior of composites. This work is of great significance for optimizing the application of hybrid BN fillers in the field of thermal management.
Ribāṭ in the Furthermost Coasts of Early Al-Andalus
Authors: Negre Joan
Published: January 2024

In recent decades, the concept of ribāṭ and its practice have been the subject of intense debate. Recent summary papers on the eastern Mediterranean, Ifrīqiya, al-Maghrib al-Aqṣà, and al-Andalus, among others, have made it possible to compare different realities that express strong links with their local historical contexts. In this paper, we present the results of a new study that analyses the specific case of Northern Sharq al-Andalus, where the practice and institutionalisation of ribāṭ took shape from the early 9th century. There are three elements that lead us to corroborate this hypothesis: the documented presence of numerous individuals and groups voluntarily involved in the active and passive defence of the furthermost frontier of al-Andalus; the confirmation of a construction programme with homogeneous characteristics aimed at building fortified enclosures along the coast, and, lastly, the founding, in the early 9th century, of the Ribāṭ Kashkī centre at the mouth of the Ebro, a building were these practices would become centralised. In conclusion, we propose a much more complex scenario than that proposed previously, which enables us to characterise local forms of armed spirituality and sacralisation of the land that globally enriches the historical reading of ribāṭ.

Published: January 2024

Methane gas concentration detection faces the challenges of increasing accuracy and sensitivity, as well as high reliability in harsh environments. The special design of the optical path structure of the sensitive element provides an opportunity to improve methane gas concentration detection. In this study, the optical path structure of the sensitive element was newly designed based on the Pyramidal beam splitter matrix. The infrared light source was modulated by multi-frequency point-signal superimposed modulation technology. At the same time, concentration detection results and confidence levels were calculated using the four-channel methane gas concentration detection algorithm based on spectral refinement. Through the experiment, it was found that the sensor enables the full-range measurement of CH4; at the lower explosive limit (LEL, CH4 LEL of 5%), the reliability level is 0.01 parts-per-million (PPM), and the limit of detection is 0.5 ppm. The sensor is still capable of achieving PPM-level detections under extreme conditions in which the sensor’s optical window is covered by two-thirds and humidity is 85% or dust concentration is 100 mg/m3. Those improve the sensitivity, robustness, reliability, and accuracy of the sensor.
Fixed Point and Convergence Results for Contractive-Type Self-Mappings of Metric Spaces with Graphs
Authors: Zaslavski Alexander J.
Published: January 2024

It is known that a strict contraction on a complete metric space with a graph possesses a fixed point. In the present paper, we show that this property holds for single valued and set-valued self-mappings of metric spaces with graphs that are of the contractive type. We also show the convergence of iterates of these mappings to fixed points. In particular, our results are true for metric spaces with symmetric graphs.
Research on Supply Chain Coordination Decision Making under the Influence of Lead Time Based on System Dynamics
Authors: Zhang Mingli , Wang Yanan , Zhang Yijie
Published: January 2024

Supply chain coordination has been a research hot spot in supply chain management. This paper constructs a secondary supply chain system. Taking the abatement of the bullwhip effect and the double marginal effect as the coordination objective, a simulation study of supply chain decision coordination was conducted using system dynamics. First, by controlling the lead time, it was found that in the decentralized decision-making model, the profit of the supplier and the whole supply chain increases with the shortening of the lead time, and vice versa for the retailer. In the centralized decision-making model with the addition of information sharing and contract, it was found that the retailer’s profit is consistent with the trend of the supplier and the supply chain as a whole, and the supplier’s profit is lower than that of decentralized decision making in the pre-cooperation period. In addition, it is also found that adjusting the contract parameters can effectively improve the situation. Finally, the above models were analyzed for supply chain coordination decisions based on two scenarios: “cooperative stability” or “balance of effects”.

Published: January 2024

Limited studies have demonstrated that inorganic arsenic exposure is positively associated with serum vitamin D levels, although the correlation between urinary arsenic species and serum vitamin D has not been investigated in areas of water-borne arsenicosis. A cross-sectional study of 762 participants was conducted in Wenshui Country, Shanxi Province, a water-borne arsenicosis area. The results showed a positive relationship between urinary arsenic species (inorganic arsenic (iAs), methylarsonic acid (MMAV), dimethylarsinic acid (DMAV) and serum 25(OH)D. Log-binomial regression analysis indicated a 0.4% increase in the risk of vitamin D excess for every 1-unit increment in the Box–Cox transformed urinary DMAV after adjustment for covariates. After stratifying populations by inorganic arsenic methylation metabolic capacity, serum 25(OH)D levels in the populations with iAs% above the median and primary methylation index (PMI) below the median increased by 0.064 ng/mL (95% CI: 0.032 to 0.096) for every one-unit increase in the Box–Cox transformed total arsenic (tAs) levels. Serum 25(OH)D levels increased by 0.592 ng/mL (95% CI: 0.041 to 1.143) for every one-unit rise in the Box–Cox transformed iAs levels in people with skin hyperkeratosis. Overall, our findings support a positive relationship between urinary arsenic species and serum 25(OH)D. It was recommended that those residing in regions with water-borne arsenicosis should take moderate vitamin D supplements to avoid vitamin D poisoning.

Domperidone is used as an immunomodulatory drug for Leishmania infantum infection and disease in dogs. However, a pro-arrhythmic side effect, caused by prolonged QT intervals, is reported in humans. This pilot study evaluated the corrected QT (QTc) interval in dogs treated with domperidone for preventive or therapeutic management of leishmaniosis. The electrocardiogram and blood concentration of creatinine, urea nitrogen, sodium, potassium, and chloride were evaluated seven days before the start and on the last day of therapy in 17 dogs receiving domperidone for four weeks. In two dogs, the QTc interval was measured before and 2 h, 3 h, and 12 h after administration of the drug on the first day of treatment. After treatment, QTc measures and chloride concentrations increased significantly, although the QTc value slightly exceeded the upper reference limit only in one dog, and chloride concentrations were always normal. Creatinine concentrations significantly decreased after therapy. In the two dogs monitored at different times on the first day of treatment, QTc values were always normal. Domperidone caused a slight prolongation of QTc interval, and further studies should be made for a risk assessment in dogs with cardiac diseases, electrolytic imbalance, and in those receiving drugs increasing QT interval or competing with domperidone metabolism.
A Photovoltaic-Powered Modified Multiport Converter for an EV Charger with Bidirectional and Grid Connected Capability Assist PV2V, G2V, and V2G
Authors: Gopalasami Ramanathan , Chokkalingam Bharatiraja
Published: January 2024

To reduce the burden of electric vehicle (EV) charging power requirements, photovoltaic (PV) infrastructure EV charging has grown in recent years. The Z-Source Inverter (ZSI) allows tapping the boosted DC and AC by adjusting the switching shoot-through. However, it has only one DC tapping, thus limiting multiport charging options. This can be overcome by splitting the boosting capacitors used at the load terminal, which supports multiple charging ports, enabling simultaneous charging of multiple EVs, thereby increasing capacity and improving overall system efficiency. This paper presents a novel PV-tied Adaptable Z-Source Inverter (AZSI) for multiport EV charging. The modified split capacitor Z-source impedance networks ensure power availability at the charging station by regulating PV generation and grid supply. The performance of the AZSI was evaluated with experimentations that achieved an efficiency of 93.8% with three charging ports. This work contributes to developing sustainable and efficient charging infrastructure to meet the growing demands of the electric vehicle market.
Connecting the Dots: A Comprehensive Modeling and Evaluation Approach to Assess the Performance and Robustness of Charging Networks for Battery Electric Trucks and Its Application to Germany
Authors: Balke Georg , Zähringer Maximilian , Schneider Jakob , Lienkamp Markus
Published: January 2024

The successful introduction of battery electric trucks heavily depends on public charging infrastructure. But even as the first trucks capable of long-haul transportation are being built, no coherent fast-charging networks are yet available. This paper presents a methodology for assessing fast charging networks for electric trucks in Germany from the literature. It aims to establish a quantitative understanding of the networks’ performance and robustness to deviations from idealized system parameters and identify crucial charging sites from a transportation planning perspective. Additionally, the study explores the quantification of adaptation effects displayed by agents in response to charging site outages. To achieve these objectives, a comprehensive methodology incorporating infrastructure, vehicle and operational strategy modeling, simulation, and subsequent evaluation is presented. Factors such as charging station locations, C-rates, mandatory rest periods, and vehicle parameters are taken into account, along with the distribution of traffic according to publicly available data. The study aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of charging networks’ performance and resilience. This will be applied in a case study on two proposed networks and newly created derivatives. The proposed network offers over 99% coverage for long-haul transport but leads to a time loss of approximately 7% under reference conditions. This study advances the understanding of the performance and resilience of proposed charging networks, providing a solid foundation for the design and implementation of robust and efficient charging infrastructure for electric trucks.

Hosseinian Yousefkhani S. S. 2023. Ecological niche differentiation among three subspecies of the vulnerable Russian tortoise Testudo horsfieldii through its distribution range 2023. Folia Biologica (Kraków) 71: 171-180. T. h. horsfieldii, T. h. rustamovi
and T. h. kazakhstanica – are all allopatric. In the present study, the ecological niche divergences among three subspecies were evaluated using a bioclimatic dataset. Suitable habitat predictions and niche similarity tests indicated that the three subspecies have significantly
different ecological niches. Temperature is an important factor for the presence of a subspecies, but the threshold is different for each subspecies. Temperature appears to limit the range for the northern subspecies T. h. kazakhstanica, but not for the two southern subspecies T.
h. rustamovi and T. h. horsfieldii, which have relatively wide ranges in Central and Southwest Asia. Local adaptations to distinct climates and the microevolution process may have played important roles in this differentiation. It is recommended to evaluate these subspecies using
molecular markers, in order to estimate the demographic relationships amongst them and to make taxonomic decisions.

181-194. Water inflows from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea are recognized as a significant factor influencing the diversity of fish species in the region. In this report, we present findings on three newly discovered fish species (Solea solea, Merluccius merluccius, and Limanda
limanda) and the presence of species that were previously seldom observed in the Pomeranian Bay and the associated oligohaline waters of Szczecin Lagoon. These fishes were incidentally captured during monitoring surveys of commercially important fish species. Species identification relied
on partial sequences of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), cytochrome b (cytb), and rhodopsin (rho) genes, as well as morphometric diagnostic characteristics. Upon comparing the obtained sequences with GenBank records, it was revealed that the sequences for Merluccius
merluccius (rho, GenBank acc. no. OM737733) and Chelidonichthys lucerna (cytb, GenBank acc. no. OM737734) constitute new DNA barcodes. The majority of sequences obtained in our study matched those available in GenBank for fishes inhabiting the North Sea, suggesting
spatial and temporal linkages between the two seas. The remaining sequences exhibited similarity to data from the Cantabrian Sea, the coasts of France, and the Norwegian Sea. The study results, in conjunction with information on the inflows of saline waters and data from previous studies on
reported fish occurrences, indicate that the bycatch species could serve as potential bioindicators of environmental changes in the study area.

Aspas de conotação autonímica: uma proposta sobre as heterogeneidades enunciativas do sujeito no discurso
Authors: De Macedo Ezequiel Bezerra Izaias
Published: January 2024

Este artigo é sobre o fenômeno das heterogeneidades enunciativa do sujeiro no discurso. O trabalho se situa no campo da Linguística da Enunciação. Partimos da defesa de que a língua não deve ser vista somente como um sistema de combinação de signos, mas, sobretudo como linguagem engendrada por um sujeito. Em seguida, visitamos os principais postulados de Bakhtin e de Lacan, por meio dos quais buscamos uma articulação entre a linguística e a psicanálise, para chegarmos à teoria de Authier-Revuz sobre as heterogeneidades enunciativas do sujeito no discurso,  as quais se apresentam de dois tipos: a heterogeneidade mostrada, que pode ser marcada ou não marcada e a heterogeneidade constitutiva. Investigamos excertos de enunciados que contêm aspas de conotação autonímica, tais como as aspas de diferenciação, de condescendência, de proteção, de questionamento ofensivo e de ênfase. Os resultados atestam que as aspas não se propõem ao dizer explícito. Cada discurso aparece dialeticamente como unitário, de um lado, e como plural, se considerarmos a outra face do mesmo, sendo isso que o faz heterogêneo. Nos termos que são aspeados, o sentido que as aspas produzem no enunciado do sujeito é guardado à distância. Nas considerações finais, podemos perceber que as aspas são uma espécie de sinal a ser decifrado no fio do discurso.

Através desse estudo será apontado os pontos que diferenciam a função de Correição exercido pela Corregedoria-Geral da PMPR com as ações do ramo da Contrainteligência, desenvolvidas pelo Sistema de Inteligência da PMPR, esclarecendo a finalidade da Contrainteligência, mais especificamente no limiar do segmento de Segurança de Assuntos Internos. De maneira transversal entre o campo teórico e os aspectos da prática diária, este ensaio ainda ousará indicar um ponto de congruência entre os campos de atuação, indicando uma abordagem sinérgica de assessoramento, apresentando um extenso número de conhecimentos e informações que poderão auxiliar o decisor durante o processo de gestão, fornecendo dados que possam servir de subsídios para as deliberações que compõem o todo do processo decisório. Apresentará exemplos hipotéticos de tipos de conhecimentos e informações que poderiam ser úteis as decisões de nível operacional, tático, estratégico e político, demonstrando que algumas informações servem para entendimento de contexto e não necessariamente para atuação correcional do autor da conduta. O juízo central desta obra é refletir quais são as competências da atividade de contrainteligência e quais são os campos de atuação da correição, evitando a equivocada percepção que as atividades possuem o mesmo fim, além de indicar que elas não são apenas alternativas de cunho meramente reativo, posterior a identificação do desvio de conduta do ativo humano da Corporação, indicando que a mitigação e o tratamento das vulnerabilidades de uma organização, sendo elas pontuais ou sistêmicas, tem condições de extrapolar a dimensão disciplinar e criminal, alcançando um viés prospectivo preventivo no cenário decisório.
Citizenship and housing cultures after COVID-19
Authors: Ciampi Marina , Marci Tito
Published: January 2024

Citizenship appears to us as an incessant constituent process, as a dynamic that is never stabilised, as a continuous development of struggles, conflicts, tensions, relationships, contestations and negotiations between social groups and rulers, between subordinate movements and hegemonic institutions. On this level, we can already understand the city (both conceptually and practically) as a political space that crosses bodies, arranging, placing and dislocating them in a series of interactions and relations that configure sociality and power. It is from these interactions that a process of subjectification (valorisation and qualification) and social de-subjectification is initiated: a process that finds in the urban fabric the prerequisites for political realisation (individual and collective) and for the social recognition of human beings. Beyond the many aspects that accompany this discourse, what we are most interested in emphasising here is the relationship between the idea of citizenship, the exercise of political rights and the cultures of living, which after the state of emergency linked to COVID-19 has redesigned an idea of public health as a form on which to redefine social relations.
El carácter de ciudadano se nos presenta como un proceso constituyente incesante, como una dinámica que nunca se estabiliza, como un desarrollo continuo de luchas, conflictos, tensiones, relaciones, impugnaciones y negociaciones entre grupos sociales y gobernantes, entre movimientos subalternos e instituciones hegemónicas. En este nivel, ya podemos entender la ciudad (tanto conceptual como prácticamente) como un espacio político que atraviesa los cuerpos, disponiéndolos, colocándolos y dislocándolos en una serie de interacciones y relaciones que configuran la socialidad y el poder. Es a partir de estas interacciones que se inicia un proceso de subjetivación (valorización y cualificación) y des-subjetivación social: un proceso que encuentra en el tejido urbano los prerrequisitos para la realización política (individual y colectiva) y para el reconocimiento social de los seres humanos. Más allá de los múltiples aspectos que acompañan este discurso, lo que más nos interesa destacar aquí -principalmente desde un enfoque teórico- es la relación entre la idea de ciudadanía, el ejercicio de los derechos políticos y las culturas del habitar, que tras el estado de emergencia vinculado al COVID-19 ha rediseñado una idea de salud pública como forma sobre la que redefinir las relaciones sociales.
Uso político de los delitos de odio en el contexto del procés independentista
Authors: Fallada Juan-Ramon
Published: January 2024

Este artículo tiene por objeto el análisis de las acusaciones por delitos de discurso de odio en que la supuesta víctima serían miembros de las Fuerzas y Cuerpos de Seguridad del Estado en el contexto del procés independentista en Cataluña. Se pretende mostrar el uso político que se ha hecho de esos delitos y, en un plano más teórico, extraer alguna conclusión respecto a la caracterización de los estados de excepción no formales. Para ello, se ha recurrido, mayormente, a documentos de las instituciones del Estado (sentencias, instrucciones, manuales, etc.) o, en su defecto, a noticias periodísticas, todo ello complementado con bibliografía secundaria especializada en la materia. De lo expuesto, se extraen algunas conclusiones sobre las relaciones entre derecho y política.
Regulación de la desinformación digital: un estudio socio-jurídico sobre las fake news y salud en el caso brasileño
Authors: Loschiavo Leme de Barros Marco Antonio , Fucci Amato Lucas
Published: January 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar un enfoque sociológico-jurídico, sobre todo basado en la teoría de los sistemas sociales, sobre el problema de la desinformación masiva a través de redes y plataformas digitales. Para tanto, el trabajo analiza las fake news como un fenómeno emergente a partir de una transformación estructural en los medios de diseminación de la comunicación, y en seguida enfoca el caso de la regulación brasileña sobre el tema. La hipótesis directiva de la investigación es de que es posible identificar un paquete de estrategias de aprendizaje regulatoria por el sistema jurídico. El texto aborda sobretodo el caso de fake news sobre el tema de la salud. Desde el punto de vista jurídico, una cuestión importante es saber si la difusión de fake news es susceptible de control, especialmente a través de formas de prevención y no sólo a través de la represión de los daños.
Risk and danger in the introduction of algorithms to courts: A comparative framework between EU and Brazil
Authors: Hedler Luisa
Published: January 2024

In a context where public debate regarding technological advances has the potential to deeply impact the functioning of courts of law, both academics and practitioners regularly employ the concept of risk, which has a prominent role in both academic discourse and regulation attempts regarding this matter. Through a qualitative content analysis of the European Ethical Charter on the use of Artificial Intelligence in judicial systems and their environments, as well as the Brazilian Resolution n. 223/2020 of the National Council of Justice, which address the same issue, I compare the EU normative responses to the possibility of introducing algorithms to Courts to their heavily inspired Brazilian counterparts, especially highlighting the commonalities on how risk is communicated about through the documents.
En un contexto en el que el debate público sobre los avances tecnológicos tiene un profundo potencial de impacto en el funcionamiento de los tribunales de justicia, tanto académicos como profesionales emplean habitualmente el concepto de riesgo, que tiene un papel destacado tanto en el discurso académico como en los intentos de regulación en esta materia. A través de un análisis de contenido cualitativo de la Carta Ética Europea sobre el uso de la inteligencia artificial en los sistemas judiciales y sus entornos, así como de la Resolución brasileña n. 223/2020 del Consejo Nacional de Justicia, que abordan la misma cuestión, comparo las respuestas normativas de la UE a la posibilidad de introducir algoritmos en los tribunales con sus homólogas brasileñas, fuertemente inspiradas, destacando especialmente los puntos en común sobre cómo se comunica el riesgo a través de los documentos.

To enhance the vibration-damping performance of orchard transport trailers and reduce the damage rate during fruit transportation, this study constructed a D-level simulation pavement analyzed trailer's vibration-damping system, and optimized design of two types of three-stage vibration-damping transport trailers. The vibration mechanical properties of Fuji apples were experimentally evaluated, revealing a positive correlation between damage rate and vibratior acceleration. By utilizing vibration acceleration as a vibration-damping parameter, Adams software was employed to simulate the trailer's vibration-damping performance. The results demonstrate that the three-stage trailer with rubber vibration-damping pads in the horizontal direction exhibits superior vibration-damping effectiveness compared to existing trailers.

The establishment of crop growth models enables the simulation of the impacts of environmental changes on crop growth, providing theoretical guidance for exploring the relationship between environmental factors and crop growth. The model used the growth cycle (GC) as the simulation time step and was built upon four sub-models: topology, photosynthesis, biomass allocation, and geometric morphology. It was quantitatively utilized the concept of effective accumulated temperature (EAT) and parameters such as sink and expansion rate were used to explain the allometric growth relationships among different organs. The R2 values for the geometric morphological parameters such as leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, and internode volume ranged from 0.78 to 0.94, while the F-values for the regression equations ranged from 1533.53 to 13949.51. The R2 values for simulating leaf, internode, and earhead biomass were 0.62-0.94, 0.74-0.97, and 0.98, respectively, with RMSE values ranging from 0.02 to 0.13 g for leaf biomass, 0.03 to 0.13 g for internode biomass, and 1.71 g for earhead biomass. The results indicated that the model exhibited good performance and reliability in simulating the growth and development of leaves, internodes, and earheads. This provides a solid foundation for the development of a millet model with functional-structural feedback.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of this research is to determine the political communication of the Prosperous Justice Party Branch Leadership Council (DPC PKS) in cadre recruitment in Medan Denai. This research uses qualitative methods with a field study approach. This research is a descriptive analysis study. Data sources for this research include primary data obtained through interviews and documentation, and secondary data originating from journal articles, books and relevant research. Data collection was carried out using semi-structured interview techniques and documentation studies. Data analysis follows the Miles and Huberman scheme, involving the process of data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The results of this research indicate that the recruitment pattern for PKS DPC Medan Denai cadres involves three main approaches: open recruitment, internal selection, and informal approaches. In open recruitment, political communication is used to introduce the party's vision, mission and values to prospective cadres, build interest and encourage participation in the recruitment process. In internal selection, political communication helps explain new roles and responsibilities to potential cadres through dialogue, maintaining commitment and stability of party leadership. In the informal approach, political communication is personal and relies on personal relationships and trust, helping to motivate prospective cadres to join the party and contribute actively.
