Published: November 2024

In India, given the rising trend of population growth, climate change and the need to increase agricultural production with efficient utilization of water, It is crucial to execute precise water management strategies in the farmland. In this study, efforts were made towards development of an automated system for irrigation scheduling on real-time basis considering the soil moisture conditions and crop parameters, and evaluation of performance under different irrigation methods in tomato crop. The soil moisture sensor was integrated with decision support system (DSS) and microcontroller using internet and global system for mobile communication (GSM) module for automated irrigation. The developed sensor was compared with Frequency Domain Reflectometer (FDR), tensiometer, and watermark sensor and was calibrated using the gravimetric method. The crop and irrigation water productivity of tomato crop ranged from 5.2–12.6 kg m-3 for control and automated systems, and 7.7–18.7 kg m-3 for the latter under different methods of irrigation. By using an automated drip irrigation system instead of a manually operated check basin irrigation system, cultivators of tomatoes were able to save 39.61% of the water. In terms of economics analysis, highest benefit cost ratio were obtained under manually operated drip irrigation (2.61) followed by automated drip irrigation system (2.50) in tomato crop.

Rice is the predominant crop in coastal regions and serves as a vital source of livelihood and income security for millions of people residing in these areas. However, coastal regions are highly vulnerable to climate change and face numerous abiotic stresses, including soil and water salinity, erratic rainfall, saline mangroves, heavy rainfall, prolonged dry spells, saline water intrusion, cyclonic disturbances, high temperatures, and high humidity. These challenges expose rice crops to both biotic and abiotic stresses, with the unpredictable and dynamic nature of these threats amplifying their impact. Coastal ecosystems play a crucial role in agricultural production, but they are increasingly at risk due to waterlogging and salinity caused by rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and human interventions. Currently, nearly 200 million people live in coastal areas that are less than 5 meters above mean sea level (MSL), a number that is projected to rise due to the ongoing effects of climate change, including increasing soil salinity, seawater intrusion, soil pollution, and the use of low-quality water. By the end of this century, the population in coastal regions may reach 400-500 million. Since rice is often the only crop cultivated in these areas, providing a lifeline to millions of resource-poor farmers in stress-prone environments, it is essential that crop improvement efforts for rice in coastal regions be given higher priority. This review examines the crop improvement strategies aimed at addressing these challenges, with a focus on genetic, biotechnological, and management approaches. Advances in breeding for salt-tolerant and waterlogging-tolerant rice varieties, along with the use of molecular markers and gene-editing technologies, offer promising solutions. By integrating these strategies with sustainable agronomic practices, it is possible to enhance crop resilience and ensure food security in coastal regions affected by salinity and waterlogging stress.

Published: November 2024

The integration of self-regulated learning (SRL) with Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has the potential to significantly enhance language learning by providing tools for independent study. However, there is a limited understanding of how EFL learners effectively utilize SRL strategies in conjunction with ICTs to improve their speaking skills. The main objective of this research is to investigate the use of SRL cognitive strategies and ICTs among EFL learners to enhance their speaking proficiency. This qualitative phenomenological study employed semi-structured interviews to gather data on learners’ experiences and practices. The interviews were analyzed using IN VIVO coding to identify categories and themes directly from the participants' own words. Results indicate that learners leverage SRL strategies such as repetition, translation, self-correction, and spoken interaction, alongside various ICT tools, to improve their fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, spoken grammar, and accent. These findings highlight the significant, often unconscious, impact of SRL strategies and digital tools on the enhancement of speaking skills. In conclusion, the study underscores the crucial role of SRL and ICTs in optimizing EFL speaking proficiency, suggesting a step-by-step approach for learners to effectively utilize these resources for language development.

Published: November 2024

Liquefaction is a process of changing soil properties when the solid state becomes liquid caused by cyclic loads as a result of an earthquake so that the pore water pressure increases, approaching and even exceeding the magnitude of the total pressure. Liquefaction occurs due to earthquakes that occur in the area. Tectonic earthquake is one type of earthquake that can trigger liquefaction. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential for liquefaction in Kulon Progo Yogyakarta as the location of the New Yogyakarta International Airport, analyze the safety score (FS), and the value of the liquefaction potential index (LPI). The method used is the Idriss – Boulanger (2014) method using SPT data which is tested at three test points, namely BH-01, BH-03, and BH-06. For this study earthquake data were obtained from the USGS site and the 2017 Earthquake Hazard Map with variations in the earthquake magnitude used were 5.00; 6.30; and 8.10 and ground acceleration data using a probability of 7% in 75 years with a return period of 1000 years. Soil classification based on USCS shows that the soil at the study site is poorly graded sand which contains little fine grain. The results of the study indicate that the research location is prone to liquefaction. Liquefaction occurs at each test point at depth of 4.00 m and 6,00 m, especially at Mw 8.1 and amax 0,48 g with variation where soil resistance is low. Then, based on the classification of the liquefaction potential index numbers which are in the low to high range and the estimated decrease that occurs is up to 23,6 cm.

Os sistemas integrados surgem como uma alternativa para a produção ruminantes, pois fornecem serviços ambientais e propiciam o bem-estar animal. Em função do cenário mundial que cada vez mais preocupa-se com o sistema de produção ambientalmente adequado, investir em novas tecnologias é fundamental para o sucesso da exploração, e a inclusão de leguminosas arbóreas tem um papel central na melhoria da eficiência desses sistemas. As leguminosas contribuem de forma significativa para a fixação biológica de nitrogênio (FBN), um processo simbiótico que permite a conversão do nitrogênio atmosférico em formas assimiláveis pelas plantas. Essa fixação diminui a necessidade de fertilizantes nitrogenados, promovendo a sustentabilidade do sistema. Portanto, o uso de leguminosas arbóreas em sistemas silvipastoris não apenas aumenta a produtividade pecuária e reduz os custos com insumos, mas também promove uma integração agroecológica que resulta em sistemas mais resilientes e sustentáveis, tanto em termos econômicos quanto ambientais. Diante do exposto, objetiva-se com o presente trabalho, fornecer informações a respeito da importância dos sistemas integrados, principalmente em relação a importância das leguminosas nesses sistemas, com foco na produção de ruminantes e seus impactos ambientais através de uma revisão sistemática de literatura. Foram selecionados 56 trabalhos acadêmicos sobre os temas relacionados em diversos meios de produção técnico e científico, como artigos publicados em periódicos, livros, teses, dentre outros tipos de trabalhos técnicos disponíveis na comunidade científica. Os sistemas integrados têm sido adotados em áreas de produção da pecuária de clima tropical, e seus benefícios no conforto térmico e desempenho têm sido reconhecidos e incentivados pelas pesquisas científicas devido à promoção da sustentabilidade no campo.

The dynamics of acculturative change: The potential of a developmental perspective in acculturation science
Authors: Titzmann Peter F. , Jugert Philipp
Published: November 2024

Acculturation processes are, by definition, processes of change over time. Yet, acculturation science is dominated by static and a-developmental theorizing that makes no specific assumptions about temporal change processes. This review paper presents concepts and methods that utilize a developmental science perspective and demonstrates how these concepts can make acculturation science more dynamic and embedded in contextual developmental theorizing, particularly (but not exclusively) for studying immigrant youth. The described concepts include the life stage principle (e.g., how acculturative experiences may differ in their effects depending on the developmental stage in which individuals face them), the concept of phase transitions from Dynamic Systems Theory (e.g., acculturation may be seen as a phase transition with higher susceptibility to risk factors), ideas about distal and proximal sources of ontogenetic (acculturative) change, dynamic approaches to pubertal development (i.e., novel concepts of acculturation timing), insights on nonergodicity (i.e., a discussion on whether between subject effects indeed present within-person processes in acculturation), and a person-in-context perspective. This review presents the background of these concepts, describes the benefits for acculturation research, and suggests methodological approaches to use them in studies on immigration and acculturative change. Overall, this overview will instigate a novel understanding of acculturation research, which is arguably more in line with earlier aims of acculturation research: A better understanding of change in cultural patterns due to continuous first-hand contact between individuals from different cultures.

Internet overuse is a growing global concern, with addiction and social isolation becoming increasingly prevalent. This study aims to examine the problematic Internet usage and its link to social isolation among the students by assessing their attitudes towards Internet use, its purpose, social isolation, and Internet addiction. A quantitative approach utilizing a questionnaire survey was employed and 440 students from University Putra Malaysia was selected using a stratified random sampling method. The majority of participants (78.3%) fell within the younger age bracket of 18 to 23 years. The study sample predominantly comprised Malay (66.8%) and Muslim (68.9%) students. Chinese students constituted 25% of the sample, while Indians represented 3.9%. The largest religious minority were Buddhists (19.1%), followed by Christians (7.5%). 30% of respondents reported a monthly income between 2100 to 3000 Malaysian Ringgit. Significant associations were found between attitudes towards Internet use and both social isolation and Internet addiction. Similarly, statistically significant relationships were observed between the purpose of Internet use, social isolation, and Internet addiction. However, no significant correlations were found between age, income, Internet addiction, and social isolation. Additionally, ANOVA results indicated no significant mean differences between religion and Internet addiction, although a significant difference was noted for social isolation. This study provides valuable insights for educators, counselors, and policymakers to develop effective programs combating internet addiction among students. By understanding the link between internet use, attitudes, and social isolation, targeted interventions can be created to promote healthy online habits and student well-being. Keywords: Internet Addiction, Social isolation, Attitudes and Purpose of using Internet, Religion, Age and Income

Published: November 2024

Context: Alternative medicine has been used for thousands of years in Latin America, but there are no updated reports in Honduras, a Central American country. Aims: To characterize and find the factors associated with the use of medicinal plants in Honduras. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out by means of Physicians in Social Service (MSS) in hospitals and health institutions; 16,379 respondents were reached in all departments of Honduras, who were asked about their general characteristics, use of medicinal plants and other similar characteristics; descriptive and analytical statistics were obtained. Results: 87.9% (14,398) mentioned that they had used medicinal plants. Their use was higher in the female population (p<0.001), living in a rural area (p<0.001), having been treated with natural medicine (p<0.001), among those who recommended that others be treated with medicinal plants (p<0.001) and those who thought that plants are cheaper than pharmacological treatments (p=0.042); on the contrary, those who thought that drugs were cheaper (p<0.001), those who did not know about the prices (p<0.001) and those who perceived that natural medicine care was cheaper (p<0.001) used fewer natural treatments; adjusted for four variables. Conclusions: The study identified key characteristics and factors associated with the use of medicinal plants in Honduras. These findings offer valuable insights for public health officials and policymakers, especially in countries with similar cultural and socioeconomic contexts within Central America. Understanding the prevalence and types of alternative medicine used across urban and rural populations can help guide health interventions and integrate traditional medicine into public health strategies.

Structural proteins are essential for preserving the shape and functionality of the heart muscle because of their fibrous nature and repeating amino acid sequence, forming stable structures. The sarcomere is the fundamental unit of muscle contraction, primarily composed of structural proteins like troponin, myosin, actin, and titin. An intracellular cascade that upsets calcium homeostasis and activates proteolytic enzymes, which break down these vital structural proteins, is set off by an oxygen shortage during a myocardial infarction. Ischemia, or low blood flow to the heart, is a condition that compromises oxygen and nutrition-dependent cellular functions. Emerging cardiac biomarkers for myocardial infarction MI, include proteins viz, serpina3n, Nppa, and Anxa1. Therefore, this review explores their roles for clinical use and advantages over common cardiac biomarkers for MI.
Traditional biomarkers like troponins and creatine kinase-MB are widely used but have limitations, due to delayed elevation or specificity issues. Recent reports have identified Serpina3n as a valuable biomarker for MI. Anxa1 is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and Nppa is a peptide hormone primarily secreted in response to atrial stretch and increased blood volume. Further research is needed to explore the roles of these structural proteins in the diagnosis of cardiac injuries.

Authors: Portero Ibeth
Published: November 2024

El desarrollo de habilidades motoras finas en la infancia temprana es fundamental para el crecimiento y la autonomía de los niños, ya que estas habilidades son esenciales para realizar tareas cotidianas como vestirse, escribir y manipular objetos pequeños. El objetivo de esta investigación fue explorar cómo se favorece el desarrollo de estas habilidades en el hogar, mediante la percepción de los padres. Para ello, se utilizó una metodología mixta que incluyó encuestas y entrevistas a padres de niños en edad temprana. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que las actividades más comunes en el hogar para fomentar las habilidades motoras finas incluyen el juego con bloques, rompecabezas y la manipulación de objetos pequeños, lo cual pone énfasis en actividades de construcción y aprendizaje práctico. Sin embargo, actividades que implican el uso de utensilios o el dibujo fueron reportadas como menos frecuentes. En cuanto a los recursos disponibles, los padres mencionaron que los juguetes educativos y juegos de construcción son los más utilizados, aunque también destacaron la necesidad de disponer de más materiales de arte y libros interactivos para estimular la creatividad y la alfabetización temprana. A partir de estos hallazgos, se concluye que un enfoque equilibrado entre actividades prácticas y creativas puede ser crucial para un desarrollo motor fino integral. Además, se subraya la importancia de involucrar a los padres en la elección y provisión de recursos que amplíen las oportunidades de aprendizaje y expresión de los niños.
E cald si bine langa tine. Atasamentul
Authors: Chiracu Alina
Published: November 2024

Mai intai, ne atasam pentru ca trebuie sa supravietuim. Apoi pentru ca trebuie sa supravietuim in continuare. In relatiile noastre. Ne atasam acolo unde simtim caldura si disponibilitate si iubire. Ne construim modele de functionare. Si functionam. Mai bine sau mai putin bine. Cautam cu asiduitate un om langa care sa ne adapostim, la care sa ne putem intoarce de cate ori plecam in explorarea lumii. Si daca gasim acest om, atunci ne vom elibera de orice constrangeri, interioare sau exterioare... si vom fi liberi tocmai prin legatura stransa cu el. Paradoxal, nu-i asa? Cu cat mai legat, cu atat mai liber. Si totusi, cu cat mai nelegat de om am fi, cu atat mai limitate ne vor fi cautarile. Si ne vom bloca in propriile angoase si semne de intrebare. Stilul de atasament nu ni-l alegem... ni-l construim, se construieste in noi, si ne impune stari, si ganduri si emotii si actiuni. Ne ghideaza in alegerea partenerilor. Este rezultatul istoriei noastre. Hai sa-l cunoastem si sa i-l intelegem. Ne va fi mai usor sa ne explicam, atunci cand suntem in situatii critice, de ce ne retragem sa plangem singuri cu noi sau de ce ne repezim la telefon sa sunam pe cineva sau ne agatam de omul de langa noi, sau oscilam intre a lupta si a renunta. Eu nu cred ca atasamentul este incarcat valoric. Nu cred ca este bun sau rau. Eu cred ca este ceea ce este si ca, daca nu ne face sa ne fie bine, atunci poate ca ar fi mai bine sa-ș reconfiguram. Prin analiza personala, prin explicatii, prin psihoterapie, prin alegeri de viata vindecatoare si constructive.

The Philippines remains in the minority of countries in the world that have yet to make a net zero emissions pledge. This policy gap leaves the country without a proper roadmap to keep pace with the global energy transition that will take place in the coming decades. In this perspective paper, we discuss the adverse implications of the failure to come to terms with deep decarbonization.

Published: November 2024

Entre febrero y julio del 2013, se realizaron muestreos de mariposas diurnas en las instalaciones de la Escuela de Policía Rafael Reyes del municipio de Santa Rosa de Viterbo, Boyacá, Colombia. El área de estudio se dividió en tres sitios de muestreo de acuerdo a sus características de paisaje: Asentamiento Humano (AH), Bosque Maderable (BM) y Matorral Nativo (MN). El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar la fauna de mariposas diurnas y conocer su diversidad en un ecosistema alto-andino. Fueron observadas 1.049 individuos distribuidos en 37 especies, 31 géneros, 11 subfamilias y 4 familias, utilizando red entomológica en 216 horas/persona de muestreo. Los sitios AH, BM y MN se registraron 27 especies en 545 individuos, 20 especies en 356 individuos y 11 especies en 148 individuos respectivamente. La familia más abundante en la zona de estudio fue Nymphalidae (62,5%), seguido de Pieridae (25,2%), Hesperiidae (9,43%) y por último Lycaenidae (2,76%). En general, Pedaliodes phaea (Hewitson, 1862) y Colias dimera Doubleday, 1847, fueron las dos especies más abundantes. De las especies registradas, cuatro son considerados como registros nuevos, dos en la familia Nymphalidae, un Pieridae y un Hesperiidae. Este trabajo contribuye con un nuevo listado de especies de mariposas diurnas para el departamento, esperando que sea utilizado en futuros trabajos de investigación sobre la biodiversidad en áreas andinas para establecer e implementar estrategias de conservación en estas zonas.

Cardiac amyloidosis
Authors: Laptseva Natallia , Benz Dominik C. , Schwotzer Rahel , Flammer Andreas J.
Published: November 2024

Cardiac amyloidosis is a disease characterised by the accumulation of amyloid protein in the heart tissue. There are several types of amyloidosis, but the most common types affecting the heart are ATTR amyloidosis (caused by transthyretin protein) and AL amyloidosis (caused by abnormal immunoglobulin light chains). Cardiac amyloidosis causes typical signs and symptoms of heart failure. Diagnosis involves a combination of imaging tests such as echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, as well as nuclear imaging scans and tissue biopsies to confirm the presence of amyloid deposits in the heart. Treatment of cardiac amyloidosis depends on the type and severity of the disease and includes medications to manage symptoms as well as treatments targeting the underlying cause of amyloidosis. Importantly, cardiac amyloidosis is a serious condition requiring specialised care from a multidisciplinary team including cardiologists and haematologists as well as other specialists familiar with the management of this rare disease. This is crucial, as early diagnosis and treatment are important for improving outcomes.
Investigating Conditioning Factors for Transparency in Software Ecosystems
Authors: Zacarias Rodrigo Oliveira , Gonçalves Rodrigo Feitosa , Santos Rodrigo Pereira dos , Lago Patricia
Published: November 2024

Software Ecosystems (SECO) are a set of actors interacting with a distributed market centered on a common technological platform to develop products and services. In this context, transparency allows third-party developers to learn processes and elements that integrate the SECO platform. This non-functional requirement impacts the coordination of developers and the management of requirements that emerge in SECO. Although it is an essential requirement, there is still a lack of a roadmap on what constitutes transparency in SECO. Thus, this article aims to characterize conditioning factors for transparency in SECO. To do so, we conducted a systematic mapping study (SMS) and a field study to identify and analyze such factors. After investigating the literature, we selected 23 studies to analyze the state-of-the-art about transparency in SECO. Next, we conducted interviews with 16 software developers to characterize the importance of conditioning factors for transparency identified in their interaction with GitHub, a platform to support project-based ecosystems. As results, we obtained a comprehensive view of solutions, conditioning factors, processes, and concerns related to transparency in SECO, whose discussion is centered on three main topics: access to information, communication channels, and requirements engineering. We also present a conceptual framework that structures all the knowledge about transparency in SECO obtained in both studies. Regarding implications for academia and industry, researchers can find a conceptual framework to be used as a foundation for systematic approaches to understanding transparency in SECO. Practitioners can find solutions and conditioning factors that help them to adopt initiatives to contribute to the open flow of information in a SECO and, thus, attract and engage new actors to a common technological platform.

Published: November 2024

Der folgende Beitrag kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass auch bei der telemedizinischen Behandlung die gleichen allgemein anerkannten fachlichen Standards des § 630a Abs. 2 Hs. 1 BGB gelten. Der bloße Einsatz von Telemedizin führt nicht per se zu einer Standardunterschreitung. Auch wird nicht konkludent eine Standardabweichung vereinbart. Werden von ärztlicher Seite nicht-ärztliche Personen eingesetzt, gelten die bekannten Grenzen zulässiger Delegation, dessen Grundlagen im Beitrag ebenfalls dargestellt werden.
