The paper deals with the syntax of focalization in Kakabe (Mokole < Western Mande). By default, the argument focus is marked by a specialized particle lè following the focused constituent which remains in situ. To mark the sentence focus, lè usually follows the subject. lè cannot appear inside adverbial and relative subordinate clauses, in infinitive constructions; it cannot follow most of adverbial expressions. At the same time, it can be hosted by adverbs and postpositional phrases of time, manner and place.

Authors: Borisevich Olga O. , Fesyun Anatoliy D. , Kotenko Natalya V.
Published: May 2023

INTRODUCTION. Chronic inflammation in the uterine cavity is a fairly common problem in women of reproductive age, which negatively affects the state of the reproductive potential of the population. AIM. To present a scientific review of domestic and foreign literature covering modern methods and approaches of physical medicine used in the rehabilitation treatment of women with chronic endometritis. CONCLUSION. After analyzing the studied sources, we can conclude that the use of restorative medicine factors significantly expands the possibilities of treating chronic endometritis. Due to the use of complex or monotherapeutic techniques based on natural and preformed physical factors, it is possible to achieve outstanding results in restoring the morphofunctional potential of the endometrium. The main obstacle to the introduction of physical medicine approaches in practical healthcare is their low background, insufficient number of randomized studies that allows to use these methods as part of clinical recommendations. Further search and study of suitable non-drug regimens for chronic inflammation in the uterine cavity is needed, which will reduce the need for drug therapy.

AIM. To focuses on the relevance of using, along with natural healing factors, traditional and innovative transformed physical factors, which can significantly improve the effectiveness of health resort treatment.
INTRODUCTION. Globally recognized achievements of Russian balneology are first of all connected with strictly scientific approaches to development of therapeutic methods and complex programs of physiotherapeutic treatment, implemented for many decades in health resort organizations throughout the country. The richest deposits of natural mineral waters and mud were mastered, studied and adapted for treatment of chronic diseases of inflammatory and degenerative-dystrophic nature, for rehabilitation of patients after vascular accidents, injuries and operations, as well as for rehabilitation of virtually healthy persons with reduced functional reserves.
The results obtained on the basis of randomized clinical trials represent the evidence base for inclusion of various methods of physiotherapy in the Clinical Guidelines for various nosologies. The successful development of physiotherapy requires not only a profound scientific approach, consolidation of researchers, manufacturers of physiotherapy equipment and practitioners, but also further improvement of the regulatory framework. Thus, a great achievement of 2022 can be considered the drafting of an Order on providing medical care to the population in the profile of «physiotherapy».
Methodological Problems of Psychometric Tests in Clinical Studies of Cognitive Disorders in Patients with Cerebral Vascular Lesions: a Review
Authors: Aizenshtein Alina D. , Trofimova Alexandra K. , Mikadze Yuri V. , Ivanova Galina E.
Published: May 2023

AIM. To assess cognitive dysfunction in clinical practice, depending on the task being solved in the examination, different neuropsychological research methods are used. To identify the specific cause of the dysfunctions in the structure of various mental functions (neuropsychological characteristics of the defect) and in the brain functions (topical diagnosis), methods of qualitative analysis of the detected symptoms of the disorder are used. Psychometric (quantitative) methods are used to assess numerically the severity of disorders and the dynamics of changes in the state of individual mental functions, as well as for screening assessment of e possible cognitive decline level in general. Methods of cognitive dysfunctions qualitative assessment are focused on the search for a «missing link» in the structure of the examined mental functions. Psychometric tests, in most cases, describe the general state of either individual mental functions, or, in the case of screening, a set of cognitive functions. Thus, one or more aspects of mental functions are evaluated, in which several cognitive functions are involved at once.
The article presents the results of a literature review with a description and analysis of preferences, methods used and corresponding techniques for neuropsychological examination of cognitive disorders in domestic clinical practice in vascular brain lesions.

Authors: Kostenko Elena V. , Petrova Lyudmila V. , Nahrapov Dmitry I. , Pogonchenkova Irena V.
Published: May 2023

INTRODUCTION. The prevalence of upper limb dysfunction and cognitive impairments are frequently observed following stroke, but are often considered as distinct entities, and there is little evidence regarding how they are related, as well as rehabilitation methods are aimed at monodomain restoration of any of these impairments.
AIM. To analyze the data of recent years on the impact of rehabilitation interventions on cognitive and the upper limb (UL) motor functions in patients with stroke, and to establish how they are related.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. The search was carried out in the Medline, Web of Science, PubMed and Scopus sources in accordance with the PRISMA principles and initially revealed 2,841 records. Of these, 35 articles were included in the study with publication 2011–2022. Keywords were used: stroke, movement, motor, upper limb, cognition, cognitive, cognitive-motor, motor-cognitive function. The relationship between cognitive impairments and the degree of restoration of the UL motor function under the influence of various rehabilitation interventions was assessed.
RESULTS. Five studies were selected for meta-analysis with the inclusion of 180 stroke patients. It is shown that the improvement of cognitive tests (MoCA) is accompanied by an improvement in UL motor impairments (FMA, Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test), while hand dexterity (Box and blocks, NHPT, Minnesota manual dexterity test) remained without statistically significant changes during medical rehabilitation.
CONCLUSION. The meta-analysis provides evidence of the relationship and mutual influence of cognitive functions on motor recovery and manual dexterity. However, the small sample size and heterogeneity of available studies are still limiting factors for obtaining unambiguous conclusions.

Electron Reacceleration via Ion Cyclotron Waves in the Intracluster Medium
Authors: Tran Aaron , Sironi Lorenzo , Ley Francisco , Zweibel Ellen G. , Riquelme Mario A.
Published: May 2023

In galaxy clusters, the intracluster medium (ICM) is expected to host a diffuse, long-lived, and invisible population of “fossil” cosmic-ray electrons (CRe) with 1–100 MeV energies. These CRe, if reaccelerated by 100× in energy, can contribute synchrotron luminosity to cluster radio halos, relics, and phoenices. Reacceleration may be aided by CRe scattering upon the ion-Larmor-scale waves that spawn when ICM is compressed, dilated, or sheared. We study CRe scattering and energy gain due to ion cyclotron (IC) waves generated by continuously driven compression in 1D fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations. We find that pitch-angle scattering of CRe by IC waves induces energy gain via magnetic pumping. In an optimal range of IC-resonant momenta, CRe may gain up to ∼10%–30% of their initial energy in one compression/dilation cycle with magnetic field amplification ∼3–6×, assuming adiabatic decompression without further scattering and averaging over initial pitch angle.

We present the first spatially resolved measurements of galaxy properties in the JWST ERO SMACS 0723 field. We perform a comprehensive analysis of five 5 < z < 9 galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts from NIRSpec observations. We perform spatially resolved spectral energy distribution fitting with Bagpipes, using six NIRCam imaging bands spanning the wavelength range 0.8–5 μm. This approach allows us to study the internal structure and assembly of the first generations of galaxies. We find clear gradients both in the empirical color maps and in most of the estimated physical parameters. We find regions of considerably different specific star formation rates across each galaxy, which points to very bursty star formation happening on small scales, not galaxy-wide. The integrated light is dominated by these bursty regions, which exhibit strong line emission, with the equivalent width of [O iii]+Hβ reaching up to ∼3000–4000 Å rest frame. Studying these galaxies in an integrated approach yields extremely young inferred ages of the stellar population (<10 Myr), which outshine older stellar populations that are only distinguishable in the spatially resolved maps. This leads to inferring ∼0.5–1 dex lower stellar masses by using single-aperture photometry, when compared to resolved analyses. Such systematics would have strong implications in the shape and evolution of the stellar mass function at these early times, particularly while samples are limited to small numbers of the brightest candidates. Furthermore, the evolved stellar populations revealed in this study imply an extended process of early galaxy formation that could otherwise be hidden behind the light of the most recently formed stars.

We present a first look at the MRS observations of the nucleus of the nearby galaxy M83, taken with MIRI on board JWST. The observations show a rich set of emission features from the ionized gas, warm molecular gas, and dust. To begin dissecting the complex processes in this part of the galaxy, we divide the observations into four different regions. We find that the strength of the emission features varies strongly from region to region, with the southeast region displaying the weakest features tracing the dust continuum and interstellar medium (ISM) properties. Comparison between the cold molecular gas traced by the 12CO (1–0) transition with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array and the H2 S(1) transition shows a similar spatial distribution. This is in contrast to the distribution of the much warmer H2 emission from the S(7) transition found to be concentrated around the optical nucleus. We use the rotational emission lines and model the H2 excitation to estimate a total molecular gas mass accounting for the warm H2 component of M(>50 K)

H

2

= 67.90 (±5.43) × 106
M
⊙. We compare this value to the total gas mass inferred by probing the cold H2 gas through the 12CO (1–0) emission, M(CO)

H

2

= 17.15 × 106
M
⊙. We estimate that ∼75% of the total molecular gas mass is contained in the warm H2 component. We also identify [O iv] 25.89 μm and [Fe ii] 25.99 μm emission. We propose that the diffuse [Fe ii] 25.99 μm emission might be tracing shocks created during the interactions between the hot wind produced by the starburst and the much cooler ISM above the galactic plane. More detailed studies are needed to confirm such a scenario.

Published: May 2023

Background
 
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of preventable and treatable diseases, in which soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are among the most common infections worldwide.  Most affected are the children and this review aims to identify the prevalence, risk factors and impact of STH in an urban area. 
 
Methodology
 
This review was guiding using PRISMA review protocol incorporating the research question of “What is the prevalence, risk factors and impact of helminth infection among urban children in tropical countries?". The databases used in this review include SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE, OVID MEDLINE and PUBMED. The articles used include observational and interventional studies conducted among children aged 18 years and less from 2010 to 2020. The main outcome measure was risk factors of STH infection seen in urban children includes social backgrounds, sanitation and policy.
 
 
Results
 
From the initial 973 articles found in the database searching, only 13 articles selected for qualitative synthesis after exclusion and screening for eligibility done. The overall prevalence of helminth infection among urban children ranges from 4.8-48.9%. The associated factor that influences helminth infection among children living in an urban area are age, male more common than female, low socioeconomic status, low parents’ education level, living in an urban slum or crowded area, low water quality and sanitation practice and poor hygiene practice. The deworming tablets consumption acts as protective factors for helminth infections. The medium haemoglobin value was significantly lower in helminth-infected children compared to uninfected children and the stunting, underweight as well as moderate acute malnutrition were attributable to helminth infections.
 
 
Conclusion
 
The prevalence and intensity of helminthiasis were heterogeneous among urban areas of developing countries, however, the endemicity is still high. Further efforts including healthy policies, continuous national deworming programmes and multi-sectoral partnership are required to reduce the prevalence of helminthiasis in the urban area.

Authors: Sopianah Yayah , Murdiastuti Kwartarini , Amalia Rosa , Nugroho Lukito
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND: Examiner training and calibration in clinical measurement of important variables is carried out to equalize perceptions among examiners.

AIM: This study aims to obtain intra- and inter-examiner perception similarities after training and calibration in measuring dental caries, tooth mobility, periodontal pockets, and tooth loss in the elderly.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of ten examiners performed clinical measurements of dental caries, tooth mobility, periodontal pockets, and tooth loss. The measurement was carried out by a researcher to examine 25 elderly respondents. The calibration process was carried out twice for each respondent who was examined by each researcher. The results of the assessment were compared with one of the researchers as a reference for assessment (gold standard). Pearson correlation was used to determine the level of intra-examiner agreement, while Cohen’s kappa was used to determine inter-examiner reliability.

RESULTS: The results of the intra-rater for calibrations I and II using the Pearson correlation showed significant (p = 0.000). The inter-examiner showed almost perfect agreement and increased between calibrations I and II for examination of dental caries (I = k 0.829–1.000, and II = k 0.871–1.000), examination of tooth mobility (I = k 0.886–0.944 and II = k 0.886–1.000), periodontal pocket examination (I = k 0.855–1.000, and II = k 0.855–1.000), and tooth loss examination (I = k 0.955–1.000, and II = k 0.955–1.000).

CONCLUSION: The results of intra-examiner measurements showed agreement (p = 0.000) and inter-examiner reliability (k = 0.829-1.000).

Authors: Elsebai Doaa Ibrahim Ibrahim , Eid Hany Ibrahim , Osama Ahmed Mohamed , Mohamed Hebatallah Tarek
Published: May 2023

Aim: this study was to investigate the effect of reinforcing material on the fracture resistances of Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) BIOHPP (Bio High Performance Polymer) and Zirconia-reinforced maxillary complete dentures under fatigue loading. Materials And Methods: BIOHPP and Zirconia framework-reinforced maxillary complete dentures were fabricated using silicone moulds and acrylic resin. A control group was prepared with no reinforcement (n =5 per group). After cyclic loading was applied using a chewing simulator, fracture resistance was measured by a universal testing machine. The fracture resistance was measured for each denture. Results: After cyclic loading, none of the dentures showed cracks or fractures. During fracture resistance testing, all unreinforced dentures experienced complete fracture. The framework-reinforced dentures showed fracture of the acrylic without framework fracture. BIOHPP reinforced maxillary denture showed the highest fracture resistance (1705.70±213.75), followed by the Zirconia reinforced maxillary denture (1690.10±135.40) (p<0.001). Conclusion: CAD/CAM Zirconia and BIOHPP frameworks used as reinforcement for maxillary complete denture shows higher fracture resistance and more retentive dentures under cyclic loading. Maxillary complete denture reinforced by BIOHPP framework show higher fracture resistance than Zirconia. The BIOHPP and Zirconia-reinforced denture exhibits a fracture resistance higher than that of the unreinforced denture, with dentures maintaining their shape even after fracture, indicating the possibility of easier repair.
The overview of lithobiomorph centipedes (Chilopoda, Lithobiomorpha) from caves of Slovenia
Authors: Kos Anja , Delić Teo , Kos Ivan , Kozel Peter , Polak Slavko , Zagmajster Maja
Published: May 2023

Centipedes of temperate regions can be found in various habitats, including forest litter, soil or caves. Slovenia, situated in the Northwestern Balkans, has rich centipede fauna, with one of the earliest scientific descriptions of a cave centipede, Lithobius stygius Latzel, 1880, from Postojnska jama. Many lithobiomorph species have been reported from Slovenian caves, but the data on their occurrence are scattered in the literature or public collections, and several specimens have even remained unexamined. Here we present the overview of lithobiomorph centipedes found in Slovenian caves. Altogether, 21 lithobiomorph species were found in 160 localities. The majority of the records, 319 out of 410, are published for the first time. Only three species are considered exclusively subterranean species, L. stygius, L. zveri and Eupolybothrus obrovensis, while other species are surface dwellers. The potential explanation of surface species presence in caves is discussed. We comment on cases of unresolved taxonomical status and present suggestions for further research needed to resolve them. Even though lithobiomorph centipedes often occur in caves, their role and importance in subterranean habitats remain to be studied.

La fidélisation des jeunes à faible capital scolaire initial dans les TPE/PME de l’hôtellerie-restauration : une mission impossible ?
Authors: Fournier Sandrine , Chakor Tarik
Published: May 2023

Secteur d’activité en tension, caractérisé par un nombre pléthorique d’offres d’emplois et une pénurie de main-d’œuvre, l’hôtellerie-restauration fait face à des enjeux RH majeurs. Marqué par un management directif, un rythme de travail intense, empreint d’une culture professionnelle transmise par mimétisme depuis des générations et d’une éthique métier stricte, la fidélisation des salariés, notamment des plus jeunes, constitue un enjeu de premier plan. Cette recherche a pour objectif d’analyser la question de la fidélisation des jeunes à faible capital scolaire initial (JFCSI) au sein des TPE/PME. Pour répondre à cet objectif, nous mobiliserons un cadre théorique articulant théorie des échanges sociaux et attentes individuelles. Nous présenterons notre démarche exploratoire interprétativiste et qualitative, réalisée à partir d’entretiens semi-directifs menés auprès de 37 jeunes en début de parcours professionnel et de 10 responsables, et d’observations participantes. Nos résultats mettront en lumière une fidélisation dans l’impasse, entre non-réciprocité perçue des échanges sociaux et attentes paradoxales des JFCSI et des encadrants. Ces résultats seront enfin mis en discussion, autour de la nécessité de repenser l’intégration et la socialisation organisationnelle des nouveaux entrants au prisme des spécificités du secteur.
La résilience organisationnelle face à la crise de la Covid-19 : le cas de deux entreprises dans le secteur du tourisme
Authors: Altintas Gulsun
Published: May 2023

Dans la littérature sur le tourisme, les travaux ont principalement porté sur la résilience des systèmes touristiques. Les études sur la résilience des entreprises sont plus rares d’une part, et, d’autre part, elles énoncent des facteurs de résilience sans préciser si ceux-ci sont communs aux entreprises ou s’ils peuvent être différents en fonction des caractéristiques organisationnelles. Notre étude qui porte sur la gestion de la crise liée à la Covid-19 par deux tour-opérateurs permet de comprendre que le processus de résilience est identique pour les deux entreprises. Il est composé de quatre phases : l’impact de la crise, les réponses pour réduire l’impact de la crise, les réponses pour relancer les activités et l’apprentissage. En revanche, certains facteurs de résilience s’avèrent différents. Les différences s’expliquent par quatre caractéristiques organisationnelles : la spécificité de l’offre, la taille de l’entreprise, la gouvernance d’entreprise et les valeurs managériales.

Published: May 2023

Data generated from modern applications and the internet in healthcare is extensive and rapidly expanding. Therefore, one of the significant success factors for any application is understanding and extracting meaningful information using digital analytics tools. These tools will positively impact the application's performance and handle the challenges that can be faced to create highly consistent, logical, and information-rich summaries. This paper contains three main objectives: First, it provides several analytics methodologies that help to analyze datasets and extract useful information from them as preprocessing steps in any classification model to determine the dataset characteristics. Also, this paper provides a comparative study of several classification algorithms by testing 12 different classifiers using two international datasets to provide an accurate indicator of their efficiency and the future possibility of combining efficient algorithms to achieve better results. Finally, building several CBC datasets for the first time in Iraq helps to detect blood diseases from different hospitals. The outcome of the analysis step is used to help researchers to select the best system structure according to the characteristics of each dataset for more organized and thorough results. Also, according to the test results, four algorithms achieved the best accuracy (Logitboost, Random Forest, XGBoost, Multilayer Perceptron). Then use the Logitboost algorithm that achieved the best accuracy to classify these new datasets. In addition, as future directions, this paper helps to investigate the possibility of combining the algorithms to utilize benefits and overcome their disadvantages.
Role of TVET in Reducing Gender Inequality
Authors: Bala Shashi , Khurania Meghna
Published: May 2023

The chapter looks into the unequal development parity which is excluding the equal participation of women in the labour market. Technical, vocational, education, and training are considered means to encourage women's participation. However, India continues to witness a declining labor force participation rate. In this context, this chapter throws light on the role TVET in empowering females. There is a wide gender gap in education and labour market. There are overwhelming distinctions in education between the sexes in some developing countries. In the economics of education literature, an important explanation of gender inequality in education is that the labour market rewards women's education less well than men's, especially in developing countries. Unequal access to education and training perpetuates gender inequalities in the labour market, restricting the choices and bargaining power of women in particular.

Published: May 2023

The present study followed a reading-level match design to investigate group differences in eye movements between grade three and grade six Greek-speaking children with reading difficulties (RD) and controls (chronological age (CA) and reading-level (RL)-matched groups), examining their performance on RAN tasks of different modalities (phonological vs. visual) and complexity levels (confounding vs. not-confounding conditions). Three eye movements (fixations, saccades, and regressions) were recorded using the EyeLink 1000 Plus eye-tracking system. The results showed that both grade three and grade six RD groups produced more and longer durations and regressions and more saccades compared to their CA controls in all tasks. However, no differences were observed between the grade six RD and the RL-matched groups in the eye-tracking measures. The present findings have important implications for determining the contribution of the reading level match design in eye-tracking reading-related research and exploring the causality of reading difficulties in consistent orthographies.

Published: May 2023

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of lambs fed two roughage: concentrate (R:C) ratios, with or without the liquid residue of cassava (LRC) on carcass traits and meat quantity. Forty lambs (19.5 ± 1.45 kg body weight), non-castrated, crossbred Santa Inês were distributed in a completely randomized 2 × 2 factorial design. There was no effect (p > 0.05) of the inclusion of LRC on the variables. The roughage:concentrate ratio of 40:60 promoted higher values for empty body weight, hot carcass weight, cold carcass weight, subcutaneous thickness fat, cooling loss, Longissimus muscle area, carcass morphometric measurements, and commercial cuts. Higher weight of leg, muscles, fat, bone and other tissues, as well as for the ratio muscle:fat, and muscle:bone was observed in lambs fed 40R:60C. For the meat chemical composition, there was the effect (p < 0.05) only for ether extract (EE) for lambs fed 40R:60C ratio. The redness (a*) of meat was greater (p < 0.05) for lambs fed 80R:20C. The other physicochemical characteristics were not influenced. The roughage:concentrate ratio of 40:60 improves the carcass traits and commercial cuts, but does not promote changes in meat quality, independent of supplementation with liquid residue of cassava.

The influence of harvest method on proximate composition, protein oxidation, and texture profile of beef from Nellore cattle were investigated. Longissimus lumborum (LL) muscles were obtained from twelve grain-fed Nellore carcasses. The animals were slaughtered after stunning (STU; n=6) or without stunning (WST; n=6) and after 24 hours postmortem, the LL was sliced into 2.54-cm steaks, packed under aerobic conditions, and stored at 4°C for nine days. Proximate composition was analyzed on day 0, whereas protein oxidation (carbonyl content) and texture profile (hardness, chewiness, cohesiveness, and springiness) were evaluated on days 0, 3, 6, and 9. STU and WST steaks exhibited similar proximate composition, hardness, and chewiness (p > 0.05). WST steaks exhibited greater protein oxidation and lower cohesiveness than their STU counterparts on day 0 (p < 0.05). Concerning the storage period, WST steaks demonstrated a decrease in springiness and a more pronounced increase in cohesiveness than their STU counterparts (p < 0.05). These results indicated that the harvest method influenced LL protein oxidation and texture profile from Bos indicus cattle.

The objective was to assess the physiological and behavioral variables of pasture-raised Holstein heifers on the basis of their coat color. Eight heifers were used, four with black coat, and four with white coat. In the morning and afternoon periods, their physiological variables were measured, namely respiratory rate (RR, mov min. -1), rectal temperature (TR, ºC), and coat surface temperature (TS, ºC). The behavior analysis considered the site (sun or shade), position (standing or lying down), and activities (idleness, rumination, grazing, and others). The data of the physiological variables were assessed through analysis of variance, and significance, through Tukey’s test at 5%, while behavioral data were assessed using the Chi-squared test (SAS Software). There was a difference for all of the heifers’ physiological variables as a function of coat color (p < 0.0001) and period (p < 0.0001), with black ones showing greater results than white ones as to all physiological variables in the afternoon period (p < 0.0001). Grazing behavior is reduced during the hottest hours of the day. We conclude that solar radiation changes the physiological variables and grazing behavior of pasture-raised Holstein heifers.

The evaluation of the carcass composition of livestock generates relevant information on the quality and final yield of the meat products. The objective of this work was to evaluate correlations the ultrasound measurements in vivo of the Longissimus lumborum with the physical-chemical components of one-year-old Santa Ines sheep bred in extensive systems. The ultrasound evaluation was performed of the rib eye area (USrea), loin depth (USld), loin width (USlw) and subcutaneous fat thickness (USsft). After slaughter, meat cuts were weighed and carcass yield was calculated. The 12th rib on the left side was separated from the carcass and dissected, after which individual bones, muscles and fat were separated and weighed. The components were regrouped, ground and collected for centesimal evaluation. Significant positive correlations (p < 0.05) were found between the ultrasound measurements and meat metrics, except for the loin length, which had low correlation. Significant correlations (p < 0.05) were found between muscles and the measurements of USld, USrea and USsft. The correlations (p < 0.05) between the bones and USld and USrea were negative and significant. USsft presented correlation (p < 0.05) with carcass yield. Thus, the ultrasound measurements associated with the Longissimus lumborum could constitute a valuable tool for evaluating the physical-chemical components and carcass of one-year-old Santa Inês sheep created in extensive systems.

Macrobrachium amazonicum is a species of freshwater shrimp of great importance for aquaculture and to know its reproductive potential, through the study of its fertility is necessary. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of two different diets on the reproductive performance of the species, whether or not adopting the ablation procedure. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement, with two types of feed (inert and fresh) and two conditions (ablated and non-ablated females), using six replicates per treatment. After 10 days of spawning, the eggs were removed and counted in their entirety. For each female, three spawns were obtained, totaling 72 samples. The fertility rate, the interval between spawning and the weight gain of the females were analyzed. There was no interaction between the studied factors, except for weight gain, in which ablated females that received fresh feed gained up to three times more weight than non-ablated females. Females that received fresh feed obtained higher fertility (1,373.9 eggs) than those that received only inert feed (1,084.1 eggs). The interval between spawns was 1.6 days shorter in ablated females.

Since the composition of honey varies with the species of bee as well as flowering and geographical aspects, this study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical and bioactive properties of Apisand stingless bees’honey from the Brazilian Caatinga. Samples of different species of Apis mellifera L.Meliponini (Melipona subnitida, Frieseomellita varia, Melipona mandacaia, Plebeia sp.) and Apis mellifera L.werecollected from honey producersin the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Honey from A. mellifera and stingless bees showed physicochemical differences in some parameters, especially in moisture, free acidity, HMF, water activity, sugars and electric conductivity. There were no differences in color between honeys from A. mellifera and stingless bees. Honeys fromPlebeia sp., F. varia and A. mellifera showed higher antioxidant capacity followed by honeys fromM. mandacaia and M. subnitida. Flavonoids had little influence on the differentiation of antioxidant activities of stingless bees, while the opposite occurred with the phenolic content, where honeys with the highest levels of phenolic also showed higher antioxidant capacity.
Usos políticos e significados sociais da educação nos anos 1930: expedientes portugueses e brasileiro
Authors: Arboleya Arilda
Published: May 2023

Correntemente os teóricos da sociologia histórica destacam a educação como elemento de importância singular nos complexos processos da modernização, diversamente experimentada nos cenários regionais e nacionais particulares. Acompanhando essa perspectiva, aqui assume-se como objeto de análise o movimento de elaboração de políticas educacionais no início dos anos 1930 em Portugal e no Brasil, tomando-o como expoente dos dilemas modernizadores então enfrentado por tais sociedades. Resguardadas suas especificidades e posicionalidades, observa-se que, no curso das acentuadas reformulações institucionais que ambas as nações vivenciaram em tal ambiente histórico – isto é, período discricionário e reformulação constitucional –, ideários coletivos atuaram na configuração de projetos de Nação traçados em diálogo crítico entre as realidades locais e os desafios da construção de uma identidade moderna. Nisso, a formulação da legislação educacional aparece investida de peculiar valor heurístico para a compreensão dos significados sociais concorrentes que orientaram as ações políticas em cada um destes contextos nacionais. Tais semânticas são capturadas por meio de Análise de Conteúdo (AC) dos atos legislativos da Ditadura Militar, registrados nos Diários do Governo da República de Portugal no período de 1926-1933, e de documentos relativos à elaboração da Constituição de 1933 em Portugal, bem como dos Anais da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte de 1933/34 no Brasil.

With the increasing number or scale of large-scale assembly activities, emergency evacuation has become increasingly important. In order to understand the evacuation behavior of people, this paper uses European distance, simulation and other methods to optimize the research and design of evacuation in emergency. The main contents of this paper are as follows: First, based on the principle and update rules of cellular automata, determine the three key factors of gender, age and emotional intensity, and the evacuation model based on cellular automata, and then use MATLAB software to simulate the change of people flow under different anxiety conditions, and output relevant data and visual images. Finally, the differences of the experimental results caused by the key factors are discussed. Secondly, study the evacuation rate change curve, as well as the key factors and their effects. Based on the average speed and average flow model of the system, simulate and output the corresponding visual images. Thirdly, in order to study and determine the best simulated evacuation route and the dynamic process of personnel evacuation in the case of different door widths, based on the evacuation route selection model with the shortest time to reach the two doors, the best pedestrian evacuation route is selected according to the shortest time rule. Fourth, in order to study the impact of reduced visibility in the hall on the whole process. In this paper, the regional discretization method is used to establish the perception range model under visibility and analyze the factor changes in the whole process.
Process Control for Defect Mitigation in Laser Powder Bed Fusion
Additive Manufacturing
Authors: King Wayne
Published: May 2023

Success in metal additive manufacturing (AM) relies on the optimization of a
large set of process parameters to achieve materials whose properties and
performance meet design and safety requirements. Despite continuous improvements
in the process over the years, the quality of AM parts remains a major concern
for manufacturers. Today, researchers are starting to move from discrete
geometry-dependent build parameters to continuously variable or dynamically
changing parameters that are geometry- and scan-path aware. This approach has
become known as “feedforward control.”

Process Control for Defect Mitigation in Laser Powder Bed Fusion Additive
Manufacturing discusses the origins of feedforward control, its early
implementations in AM, the current state of the art, and a path forward to its
broader adoption.
