Published: July 2022

Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is a multidisciplinary field whose objective is to mechanize exercises that by and by require human knowledge. Late accomplishments in A.I. incorporate mechanized clinical diagnosticians and frameworks that naturally redo equipment to specific client prerequisites. The serious pain points tended to in A.I. can be summed up as Perception, Manipulation, Reasoning, Communication, and Learning. Discernment is worried about building models of the actual world from tactile information (visual, sound, and so on) Control is worried about articulating extremities (e.g., mechanical arms, velocity gadgets) to affect an optimal state in the real world. Thinking is worried about more significant level mental capacities like preparation, reaching inferential determinations from a world model, diagnosing, planning, and so on Correspondence treats the issue comprehension and passing on data using language. At long last, Learning treats the issue of consequently further developing framework execution after some time in view of the framework's insight. Various huge particular thoughts have risen up out of A.I. that bind together these different trouble spots and that structure the underpinning of the logical discipline. By and large, A.I. frameworks work in view of a Knowledge Base of realities and decides that portray the framework's space of capability. The components of a Knowledge Base comprise of autonomously legitimate (or if nothing else conceivable) lumps of data. The framework should naturally sort out and use this data to tackle the particular issues that it experiences. This association cycle can be for the most part described as a Search coordinated toward explicit objectives. The pursuit is made complex in light of the need to decide the significance of data and in view of the incessant event of unsure and uncertain information. Heuristics give the A.I. framework with a component for centering its consideration and controlling its looking through processes. The fundamentally versatile association of A.I. frameworks yields the necessity for A.I. computational Architectures. All data utilized by the system ought to be tended to inside such a plan. The obtaining and encoding of true information into A.I. design contains the subfield of Knowledge Engineering

Published: July 2022

Fatigue crack growth (FCG) in Z2CND18-12N austenitic stainless steel and its heat-affected zone (HAZ) in the Z2CND18-12N/16MND5 dissimilar metal weld joint has been investigated in room temperature air and 325°C water. The dependence of FCG rates on specimen orientation in room temperature air got somewhat evident as ΔK decreased to 13 MPa√m. However, for Z2CND18-12N steel, the influence of specimen orientation on the FCG in room temperature air and the corrosion fatigue crack growth (CFCG) in 325°C water was slight and negligible. A moderate increase in the FCG rate was observed for the Z2CND18-12N HAZ in room temperature air at a low ΔK = 13 MPa√m (near ΔK threshold), compared with its base metal. However, the CFCG rate difference between the Z2CND18-12N HAZ and its base metal was minor. The CFCG in the Z2CND18-12N in 325°C water (without the addition of H2) was consistent with a slip-oxidation-rupture mechanism and the oxide film on the corrosion fatigue crack tip mainly consisted of Fe3O4.

Authors: Popova Evguenia S. , O’Brien Jane C. , Taylor Renée R.
Published: July 2022

Importance: Responsive communication is critical to ensuring family-centered care in early intervention (EI). The Intentional Relationship Model (IRM) offers a framework for examining therapist–parent communication and offers strategies for supporting therapist responsiveness.

Objective: To explore family-centered care and therapists’ communication in EI using the IRM.

Design: Prospective descriptive study.

Setting: Illinois EI program.

Participants: Convenience sample of 101 therapists and 19 parents enrolled in an EI program. Therapist disciplines included developmental (n = 24), occupational (n = 32), physical (n = 17), and speech (n = 28) therapy.

Outcomes and Measures: Demographic questionnaire, Early Interventionist Self-Efficacy Scale, Early Intervention Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale, Measure of Processes of Care (MPOC)–Short Form, MPOC–Service Provider, Clinical Assessment of Modes (CAM), and Clinical Assessment of Suboptimal Interaction–Short Form (CASI–SF).

Results: Therapists used family-centered practices specific to relationship building more frequently than information sharing (especially sharing of general information). Therapists used the empathizing, encouraging, and instructing modes most frequently in their interactions with families. Participants’ scores on the MPOC, CAM, and CASI–SF were significantly correlated.

Conclusions and Relevance: Therapist–parent interactions were aligned with family-centered care. Opportunities for practitioners were identified in (1) sharing specific and general information and (2) expanding the use of collaborating, problem-solving, and advocating modes.

What This Article Adds: In this study, we explored how the IRM can inform family-centered practices in EI through examination of therapists’ interpersonal competency and therapeutic mode use.

अस्मिता और स्त्री चेतना का प्रश्न कोई नयी घटना नहीं है। भारत में इसके सूत्र पुराने साहित्य में मिल जायेंगे। यों कहा जाय तो स्त्री अस्मिता को लाने का काम वींसवी सदी में ही हुआ। यह काल भारत में स्वाधीनता आन्दोलन के साथ ही नवजागरण का काल है। स्त्रियों की इच्छाओं, कामनाओं और अपने अस्तित्व को लेकर उनमें आई नवीन चेतना की गवाह भी बनी। यही कारण है कि विभिन्न माध्यमों से अभिव्यक्ति करना शुरू किया। साहित्य की विधाएँ उनका कारगार उपकरण बन गयी। यह न केवल भारत बल्कि दुनियाभर के समाज और इतिहास का सच है। कहना चाहिए कि स्त्री लेखन प्रमुखतया प्रतिरोध का लेखन है। अस्मिता का निर्माण गद्य, व्यक्ति और व्यक्तित्व की चेतना के विकास के साथ होता है। इसमें तीन चीजें होती हैं। पहला शोषण दूसरा मातहत भाव लिंगबोध और तीसरा वर्ग की पहचान। इन सबके मूल में स्वतंत्रता बोध। ये सारे क्षेत्र एक साथ ही 19वीं शताब्दी में सामने आते हैं। इस समूची प्रक्रिया में विचारधारा के आधार पर सोचने, जनता की माँगो को पेश करने, एकजुट होने तथा संघर्ष करने की प्रवृत्ति का जन्म हुआ। इन सब में अस्मिता के पूरे परिवेश की सृष्टि की।
Power of Language and Radio Listening: The Indigenous Peoples’ Sense of Connection Outside their Community
Authors: Avengoza-Almadrones Rosalie J.
Published: July 2022

This study investigated whether radio listening gives the indigenous peoples, the Bihug, of Tuaca, Basud, Camarines Norte, Philippines, a sense of connection to the world outside their own community. A multi-level approach using three methods was utilized for the research design namely: in-depth or focused interview, focused group discussion, and narratology. To reaffirm the Bihug’s concern for each other, they used the radio to build a sense of connection outside their own community, a connection that assisted them in augmenting their income, provided some comfort and a feeling that they were wanted and that they belonged to a larger community, and let them momentarily forget their hardships. When listening to news, they felt concern for those who suffered from calamities and those who were victims of crimes. Tuning in to radio connected the Bihug to incidents happening in other places. These incidents involved not only lowlanders but their tribal members, as well. Moreover, the Bihug depended on radio broadcasts about weather conditions to secure them from typhoons.

Published: July 2022

"This study aimed to find out the extent of teachers’ use of strategies in teaching reading skills. The respondents in this study were the 49 Grade 5 teachers teaching English in the 48 schools of North and South districts of Sibalom, Antique, Philippines. The data on the extent of teachers’ use of strategies in teaching reading skills was determined using a jury validated researcher-made questionnaire. The questionnaire was subjected to pilot testing to ascertain face and content validity and reliability. Frequency, percentage, mean, rank, and standard deviation was used for descriptive statistics while t-test for Independent Samples, One –way ANOVA, Scheffe, and Pearson’s –r for inferential statistics. The findings of the study revealed that when teachers are taken as an entire group and when they were classified according to educational qualifications, length of service, level of language enhancement experiences, and type of school, the extent of their use of strategies in teaching vocabulary, comprehension, and study skills was “to a slight extent”. Results further showed that there was no significant difference in the extent of teachers’ use of strategies in teaching vocabulary, comprehension, and study skills when the teachers were grouped according variables. Highly significant differences also existed in the vocabulary and study skills when respondents were grouped according to length of service in favor of those who are “long” in service. "

Abstract. Formation of Ultrafine particles (UFPs) in the urban atmosphere is expected to be less favored than in the rural atmosphere due to the high existing particle surface area acting as a sink for newly-formed particles Despite the large condensation sink (CS) values, previous comparative studies between rural and urban site reported higher frequency of new particle formation (NPF) events over urban sites in comparison to background sites as well as higher particle formation and growth rates attributed to the higher concentration of condensable species. The present study aims to better understand the environmental factors favoring, or disfavoring, atmospheric NPF over Lille, a large city North of France and to analyze their impact on particle number concentration using a long-term dataset (4 years : 1st July 2017 to 31st December 2020). The results highlight a strong seasonal variation of the NPF occurrences with a maximum observed during spring (27 events) and summer (53 events). It was found that high temperature (T > 295 K), low RH (RH < 45 %) and high solar radiation are ideal to observe NPF events over Lille. Relatively high values of condensation sink (CS ~ 2.10-2 s-1) are reported during event days suggesting that high CS does not inhibit the occurrence of NPFt over our site. Moreover, the particle Growth Rate (GR15.7-30 nm) was positively correlated with the temperature most probably linked to the higher emissions of precursors. Finally, the nucleation strength factor (NSF) was calculated to highlight the impact of those NPF events on particle number concentrations. NSF15.7-100 reaches a maximum of 4 in summer, indicating an enormous contribution of NPF events to particle number concentration at this time of the year.

Abstract. Water-soluble humic-like substances (HULIS) absorb light in near-UV and visible wavelengths and exert significant influence on the atmospheric environment and climate. However, knowledge on HULIS evolution during haze bloom-decay process is limited. Herein, PM2.5 samples were obtained during a winter haze event in Guangzhou, China, and light absorption and molecular composition of HULIS were investigated by UV-vis spectrophotometry and ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry. Compared with HULIS in clean days, the absorption coefficients (Abs365) of HULIS in haze days were significantly higher but the mass absorption efficiencies (MAE365) were relatively lower, suggesting diverse and dynamic absorption properties of HULIS during haze episodes. The CHO and CHON compounds were the most abundant components in HULIS, followed by CHOS, CHONS, and CHN. Haze HULIS presented comparatively higher molecular weight, lower aromaticity index (AImod), and higher O/Cw, O/Nw, and O/Sw ratios, indicating that HULIS fractions undergo relatively higher oxidation during haze days than clean days. Moreover, CHON and CHO compounds with high AImod were the major potential chromophores in HULIS and significantly contributed to HULIS light absorption. It's worth noting that the proportions of these chromophores were decreased during haze event, mainly owing to their higher oxidation and longer aging period during haze episode. Besides, accumulated contribution of organic compounds emitted from vehicles and formed from stronger reactions of bio-VOCs also diluted light-absorbing compounds in haze HULIS. These findings help to understand HULIS evolution during haze bloom-decay process in the subtropic region of China.

Abstract. Ice nucleating particles (INPs) influence the timing and amount of precipitation in mixed-phase clouds by acting as seeds for supercooled liquid droplets to form ice upon. High-resolution, long-term measurements of ice nucleating particles (INPs) have been impeded by complex instrumentation that requires a trained on-site technician to operate or analyze offline. We have significantly updated the well-characterized continuous flow diffusion chamber (CFDC) instrument to run autonomously with minimal in-person handling and easy remote access. This new CFDC, the CFDC-Ice Activation Spectrometer (CFDC-IAS) was deployed for four months (October 2020–January 2021) at the mountain-top Storm Peak Laboratory site in Colorado and provided 5-minute resolution measurements daily at target temperatures of -20, -25, and -30 °C. Concentrations of INPs across all temperatures had a median value of 6 per standard liter (sL-1), and a mean of 10 sL-1 with a range of ~0–470 sL-1. The CFDC-IAS was served once a week by a technician who changed out diffusion dryer desiccant and replaced the nitrogen tank as needed, and otherwise was operated remotely for desired changes in the sampling routine.

Published: July 2022

Abstract. This work uses the Disturbance Ionosphere indeX (DIX) to evaluate
the ionospheric responses to equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) events from
2013 to 2020 over the Brazilian equatorial and low latitudes. We have
compared the DIX variations during EPBs to ionosonde and All-Sky Imager
data, aiming to evaluate the physical characteristics of these events. Our
results show that the DIX was able to detect EPB-related TEC disturbances in terms of their intensity and occurrence times. Thus, the EPB-related DIX
responses agreed with the ionosphere behavior before, during, and after the
studied cases. Finally, we found that the magnitude of those disturbances
followed most of the trends of solar activity, meaning that the EPB-related
total electron content variations tend to be higher (lower) in high (low) solar activity.

Published: July 2022

Abstract. In the Arctic, the sea surface salinity (SSS) plays a key role in processes related to water mixing and sea ice. However, the lack of salinity observations causes large uncertainties in Arctic Ocean forecasts and reanalysis. Recently the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite mission was used by the Barcelona Expert Centre to propose an Arctic SSS product. In this study, we evaluate the impact of assimilating this data in a coupled ocean-ice data assimilation system. Using the Ensemble Kalman filter from July to December 2016, two assimilation runs assimilated two successive versions of the SMOS SSS product, on top of a pre-existing reanalysis run. The runs were validated against independent in situ salinity profiles in the Arctic. The results show that the biases and the Root Mean Squared Differences (RMSD) of SSS are reduced by 10 % to 50 % depending on areas and put the latest product to its advantage. The time series of Freshwater Content (FWC) further show that its seasonal cycle can be adjusted by assimilation of the SSS products, which is encouraging for its use in a long-time reanalysis to monitor the Arctic water cycle.

Published: July 2022

Abstract. As temperatures decrease in autumn, vegetation of temperate and boreal ecosystems increases its tolerance to freezing. This process, known as hardening, results in a set of physiological changes at the molecular level that initiate modifications of cell membrane composition and the synthesis of anti-freeze proteins. Together with the freezing of extracellular water, anti-freeze proteins reduce plant water potentials and xylem conductivity. To represent the responses of vegetation to climate change, land surface schemes increasingly employ ‘hydrodynamic’ models that represent the explicit fluxes of water from soil and through plants. The functioning of such schemes under frozen soil conditions, however, is poorly understood. Nonetheless, hydraulic processes are of major importance in the dynamics of these systems, which can suffer from e.g. winter ‘frost drought’ events. In this study, we implement a scheme that represents hardening into CLM5.0-FATES-Hydro. FATES-Hydro is a plant hydrodynamics module in FATES, a cohort model of vegetation physiology, growth and dynamics hosted in CLM5.0. We find that, in frozen systems, it is necessary to introduce reductions in plant water loss associated with hardening to prevent winter desiccation. This work makes it possible to use CLM5.0-FATES-Hydro to model realistic impacts from frost droughts on vegetation growth and photosynthesis, leading to more reliable projections of how northern ecosystems respond to climate change.
Sensitivity analysis of a built environment exposed to debris flow impacts with 3-D numerical simulations
Authors: Huang Xun , Zhang Zhijian , Xiang Guoping
Published: July 2022

Abstract. The characteristics of exposed built environments have a significant effect on debris flow impacts on buildings, but knowledge about their interactions is still limited. This paper presents a sensitivity analysis on the overall peak impact forces on a building resulting from the built environment parameters, including the orientation, opening scale of the target building, and azimuthal angle and distance of surrounding buildings. The impact forces were obtained using the FLOW-3D model, a computational fluid dynamics approach, verified through the physical modeling results. The results show that the surrounding buildings’ properties have significant roles in determining the peak impact forces. A shielding effect or canalization effect, which reduce or increase impact forces, respectively, can be produced by changing the azimuth angle. A deflection wall for building protection is recommended according to the shielding effect. A narrowed flow path, determined by both the azimuth angle and distance, has a significant effect on the variation in impact forces. In addition, it is concluded that a splitting wedge should be designed following a criterion of avoiding the highest flow velocity – the smallest approaching angle – appearing near the longest wall element. The protruding parts caused by changing the building’s orientation contribute to increasing impact loads within a shielding area. A limited opening effect is observed on the whole building if there is sufficient time for material intrusion. The insights gained contribute to a better understanding of building vulnerability indicators and local migration design against debris flow hazard.

Published: July 2022

Gene therapy is a growing field in research and development that may offer a long-lasting solution to several complex diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is characterized by chronic inflammation in the lungs and the airways, leading to respiratory problems. COPD includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Optimizing treatments for gene therapy in COPD is of paramount importance given COPD's prominence as the fourth leading cause of disease-related death in the United States. We reviewed delivery methods in the current research, including liposomes, nanoparticles, electroporation, adeno-viruses, and adenoassociated viruses (AAV). The broad customizability in the diagnostic and treatment methods is evident in the recent studies. In this paper we explore each method and/or biomarker and evaluate several gene therapy avenues for COPD.

Conceptual models on combating corruption. Contemporary anti-corruption tools
Authors:   Free International University of Moldova, Cazacu Adriana
Published: July 2022

The first specialized anti-corruption bodies appeared long before the establishment of the Singapore and Hong Kong commissions in the 1950s and 1970s. However, there are several types of anti-corruption bodies that exist and operate in different countries. The issue of corruption gained international importance in the late 1990s and was accompanied by a growing debate on the role of specialized anti-corruption institutions. This process has been closely linked to the process of political democratization and economic liberalization in many parts of the world, including parts of Eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa. It is also linked to efforts to build the rule of law and good governance in many post-authoritarian and post-conflict environments, as economic and political transitions provide fertile ground for corruption.

Published: July 2022

The settlement agreement is an instrument of substantive law, with important intercalations in procedural law, with the aim of amicably preventing a potential dispute or terminating an existing dispute. In order to qualify a civil contract as a settlement agreement, the legislation in force and the doctrine provide certain preconditions and mandatory elements that such an instrument must present. Thus, the purpose of this article is to reveal the binding elements that represent the content of a settlement agreement. In order to elaborate an extensive study, only one of these elements shall be examined, namely the reciprocal concessions made by the parties in order to solve the dispute between them. Mutual concessions belong to the essence of the settlement agreement, as it shows that by solving the conflict amicably, both sides win, as they save time, resources and choose the actual way in which they settle the conflict. In this article we will analyze the concept of reciprocal concessions, the difference between reciprocal concessions and other legal institutions, such as recognition of the action or dismissing the case. Also, we will provide examples of concessions by analyzing the jurisprudence in this regard.

This study analyzes in detail the legal nature of the legal institution regarding the disciplinary liability of employees, highlighting the elements of the legal nature. Research into the legal nature of disciplinary liability of employees is a necessity, especially a legal one, because it provides the scientific and practical environment, results and guiding ideas on the correct application of the institution of disciplinary liability of employees in the field of work. In this context, reference was made to the doctrine of labor law in Moldova, Romania, Russia and it was concluded that only the person who is in a legal employment relationship with an employer can be subject to disciplinary misconduct. As a methodology in the elaboration of the article, it constituted the legislative and doctrinal analysis containing norms and interpretations on the institution of disciplinary liability of employees in the field of work. The role of the individual employment contract, the internal regulations of the unit and the collective labor contract, in determining the disciplinary liability of the employee and, as a result, the disciplinary sanction were also not overlooked.

In the last period of time, especially with the development of the real estate field, the rental of housing has experienced an unprecedented evolution, both nationally and globally, as evidenced by the accelerated growth of the categories of services in question. Consequently, there is also an increase in the state’s interest in taxing those sources of income, acquired by both individuals and legal entities. We deduct this reality from the fact of emphasizing the requirements for declaring leases to the state tax body in order to tax the income obtained from that activity, given that, for many citizens of the Republic of Moldova, the provision of rental services become a profitable occupation. Currently, the modernization of the Civil Code of the Republic of Moldova brings with it some clarifications in terms of location, which has contributed significantly to improving the legal framework in the field, similar to the European one, quite necessary in an integrationist context. In particular, the study carried out in the content of this paper may incite long and complex debates on the part of domestic and foreign doctrine, given that we find different regulations in the legislation of other states, some much more complex, others quite incomplete, but at the same time, full of essence and topicality. Obviously, the research of the subject does not stop here, intending to develop it in other works, from the category of didactic, monographic, scientific articles in journals that would ensure the continuity of research and identification of new solutions in the event of further challenges in delimiting the lease other similar reports

Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) are intestinal parasitic worms that cause infection in humans, which are transmitted through soil. Worms cause decreased health conditions and the productivity of the sufferer. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between Soil Transmitted Helminth infection and student achievement based on nutritional status in children.
This research was conducted using a combination method (mixed methods research design). Quantitative research used a cross sectional design, while qualitative research was conducted to explore in-depth information from the head of the puskesmas, the principal, the homeroom teacher (teacher), the parents of students, and students of SDN 100906 Manompas. Examination of stool samples using the Kato Katz method was carried out at the Parasitology Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University in June – November 2020. The population in this study were all children of SDN 100906 Manompas, with 60 samples that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria selected by simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using Chi square test.
The results showed that the percentage of male and female students from all classes infected with STH was the same (50.0%) with the mean age of the infected students (9.35 ± 1.82) years. Type STH with mild category Ascaris lumbricoides percentage (20%), compared with Trichuris trichiura (10%). Students infected with STH at the most were with moderate achievement (50.0%) and students infected with STH at the most were with low nutritional status (62.5%). The results of statistical tests using Chi square showed that there was no significant relationship between STH infection and learning achievement with p value = 0.340, and there was a significant relationship between STH infection and nutritional status with p value = 0.034 (p < 0.05).
The conclusion of this study is that there is no significant relationship between STH infection and learning achievement and there is a significant relationship between STH infection and nutritional status. There are other factors that affect learning achievement apart from STH infection.

The present work aimed to develop a novel liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method for the determination of Talazoparib (TZPB) in pharmaceutical forms. Analysis of TZPB was performed in mobile phase of Methanol, Acetonitrile and 0.2% Perchloric acid in the ratio of 70:28:02 (v/v) as mobile phase and separation was carried on Prontosil ODS C18 Column (150 X 4.6mm, 5μ) as stationary phase. The degradative property of the TZPB under different stress conditions were evaluated using mass spectral analysis of the eluted compounds. The characterization of column eluents was carried on mass spectrometer operated in a positive ESI (electrospray ionization) mode and analyzed in single quadrupole analyzer. The mass spectra corresponding to molecular weight of TZPB was observed at m/z of 381 and characteristic mass fragmentation was observed in the spectra (m/z of 339 to 204). The linear calibration curve for TZPB was achieved in the range of 0.1–150 ng/mL (r = 0.9994) with a very sensitive detection limit (0.03ng/mL) and quantification limit (0.1ng/mL). The method was validated for parameters such as accuracy, precision, ruggedness, robustness etc and the results of the validation parameters are within acceptable limit at all quality control levels. The forced degradation studied for conditions such as acid, base, oxidation, UV light and thermal degradation conditions. The method can separate and detect the degradation compounds formed during the stress study. The forced degradation compounds formed were characterized using mass spectral study and a total 9 different degradation compounds were identified in the study. Hence the method can apply in identification and quantification of degradation compounds of TZPB in quality control and formulations.
Metabolic and nutritional aspects of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Currently, in the structure of liver pathology, the leading position is occupied by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), ahead of viral hepatitis C and alcoholic liver disease. The previous concept of NAFLD as a harmless disease has undergone significant changes. In the modern understanding, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a progressive disease with a high risk of developing fibrosis, cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma. The number of liver transplants in patients with cirrhosis as a result of NAFLD is steadily increasing and ranks second after cirrhosis of the liver of viral etiology. Nevertheless, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is still considered a «diagnosis of exclusion» due to the lack of specific diagnostic criteria, and the term itself has been criticized since it focuses only on the absence of alcohol’s contribution to the development of the disease. For this reason, an international expert consensus statement was published in 2020, proposing a new concept – metabolically associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), highlighting the leading role of nutritional metabolic predictors in the development of disease. We performed a systematic review to summarize the clinical nutritional aspects of MAFLD. The authors discuss the fundamental clinical and functional, nutritional, metabolic, hormonal, microbiotic factors of the pathological process that determine the course and prognosis of the disease. Information on the topic was used from publications based on the disserCat, PubMed, and eLibrary databases.
