Published: January 2023

Bangladesh is experiencing an increasing prevalence of diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Considering daily total requirement of 5 servings as minimum recommended amount, 95.7% of people do not consume adequate fruit or vegetables on an average day in the country. Imposition of lockdown during COVID-19 created disturbance in fresh fruits and vegetable production and their retailing. This incident can make these dietary products less affordable by stimulating price and trigger NCDs. However, little is known about the supply chain actors of healthy foods such as vegetables and fruits in urban areas, and how they were affected due to pandemic. Aiming toward the impact of COVID–19 on the business practices and outcomes for the vegetables and fruits retailers in Bangladesh, a survey of 1,319 retailers was conducted in two urban areas, namely Dhaka and Manikganj from September 2021 to October 2021. To comprehend the impact of COVID-19 on the profit margin of the retailers and on the percentage change in sales, a logistic and an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression were estimated. Significant difference in the weekly business days and daily business operations was observed. The average daily sales were estimated to have a 42% reduction in comparison to pre-COVID level. The daily average profit margin on sales was reportedly reduced to 17% from an average level of 21% in the normal period. Nevertheless, this impact is estimated to be disproportionate to the product type and subject to business location. The probability of facing a reduction in profit margin is higher for the fruit sellers than the vegetable sellers. Contemplating the business location, the retailers in Manikganj (a small city) faced an average of 19 percentage points less reduction in their sales than those in Dhaka (a large city). Area-specific and product-specific intervention are required for minimizing the vulnerability of retailers of vegetables and fruits and ensuring smooth supply of fruits and vegetables and increasing their uptake to combat diet related NCD.

Aiming to evaluate the effects of increased body energy reserve (BER) in Nellore cows’ reproductive efficiency, cows were fed with different nutritional plans to obtain animals with high BER (HBER; Ad libitum diet) and moderate BER (MBER: cows fed 70% of HBER group ingestion). To evaluate the BER, cows were weekly weighted and evaluated for subcutaneous fat thickness and insulin serum concentration along the experimental period. At the end of the experimental period, animals were submitted to estrous synchronization and artificial insemination. Animals were slaughtered approximately 120 h after ovulation induction and the reproductive tracts were collected for embryo recovery and samples collection. Cumulus-oocyte-complexes (COC) and follicular fluid were collected from 3–6 mm in diameter ovarian follicles to perform miRNA analysis of cumulus cells (CC) and extracellular vesicles from follicular fluid (EV FF). As expected, differences were observed among MBER and HBER groups for body weight, fat thickness, and insulin serum concentration. HBER animals showed lower ovulation and embryo recovery rates compared to MBER animals. Different miRNAs were found among CC and EV FF within groups, suggesting that the BER may influence follicular communication. This suggests that small follicles (3–6 mm diameter) are already under BER effects, which may be greater on later stages of follicular development.

Published: January 2023

Complement Receptor Type 1 (CR1) is a malaria-associated gene that encodes a transmembrane receptor of erythrocytes and is crucial for malaria parasite invasion. The expression of CR1 contributes to the rosetting of erythrocytes in the brain bloodstream, causing cerebral malaria, the most severe form of the disease. Here, we study the history of adaptation against malaria by analyzing selection signals in the CR1 gene. We used whole-genome sequencing datasets of 907 healthy individuals from malaria-endemic and non-endemic populations. We detected robust positive selection in populations from the hyperendemic regions of East India and Papua New Guinea. Importantly, we identified a new adaptive variant, rs12034598, which is associated with a slower rate of erythrocyte sedimentation and is linked with a variant associated with low levels of CR1 expression. The combination of the variants likely drives natural selection. In addition, we identified a variant rs3886100 under positive selection in West Africans, which is also related to a low level of CR1 expression in the brain. Our study shows the fine-resolution history of positive selection in the CR1 gene and suggests a population-specific history of CR1 adaptation to malaria. Notably, our novel approach using population genomic analyses allows the identification of protective variants that reduce the risk of malaria infection without the need for patient samples or malaria individual medical records. Our findings contribute to understanding of human adaptation against cerebral malaria.
Evaluation of a stepped, fixed-height magnification marker stand for use with a 100-mm marker in implant sizing prediction in 52 total hip replacement procedures in dogs
Authors: Siemon Heather K. , Liska William D. , Israel Sarah K.
Published: January 2023

Objective

To describe the use of a 100-millimeter marker placed on a stepped, fixed-height magnification marker stand to measure radiographic magnification on accuracy of implant size prediction when used for canine total hip replacement (THR) implant size selection.

Study design

Retrospective study.

Animals

Fifty-two hips in 45 dogs.

Methods

This study evaluated 52 consecutive canine total hip replacement surgery pre-planning procedures involving 45 dogs with 7 undergoing staged bilateral THRs. Data collected included demographic information, measured radiographic magnification for magnification recalibration, implant size prediction of the cups (52) and the stems (52) based on digital templates superimposed on digital radiographs, and the actual implant sizes used during surgery.

Results

Use of the magnification marker stand (MMS) and template application system resulted in an accurate prediction of implant size of 98/104 implants (94.2%) implants.

Conclusion

A 100-mm marker placed on a magnification marker stand was a viable method to measure and recalibrate for magnification on digital radiographs during the template process to predict the THR implant sizes that should be available when the surgery begins.

Clinical significance

This stepped calibration marker stand is helpful in determination of an accurate preoperative THR implant size prediction, lowering implant stock thresholds, operating time, and associated complications. Additionally, the radiographic documentation of the marker’s step height allows for indefinite confirmation of the magnification marker height used and for accurate repeatability for all follow-up imaging examinations and contralateral procedure planning.

Innovating Respirators: PPE Lessons for Global Catastrophic Biological Risks
Authors: Montazeri Nadia Xenia , Sandbrink Jonas
Published: January 2023

Covid-19 taught us a great deal about respiratory Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that is relevant for future global biological catastrophic risk (GCBR) events. For example, an equally infectious outbreak of MERS could have caused at least 28.5 million fatalities in the first year of the pandemic.Problems with PPE that arose during Covid-19 include insufficient protection, discomfort, and shortages. Healthcare workers and frontline workers were infected disproportionately often. Causes of discomfort among workers included skin reactions, headaches, and elaborate donning and doffing routines. Worldwide shortages increased this discomfort, as workers improvised with what was at their disposal.One possible solution would be creating strategic stockpiles of reusable, durable, and affordable PPE with high protection and comfort, universal fit, and ease of use. So far, such a product does not exist, but prototypes have been developed, and further innovation could be incentivized. Especially neglected is PPE supply and research for frontline workers not part of the healthcare system. When planning GCBR response, plans must include non-healthcare staff, to keep critical infrastructure from collapsing.
A Predictive Negative Sequence Current Control Algorithm for Voltage Imbalance Compensation and Power Oscillation Minimization under Unbalanced Conditions
Authors: Helaly Nehal
Published: January 2023

The predictive-based strategy employed in this paper allows an inverter to simultaneously inject positive and negative sequence reactive current to compensate for voltage imbalance, taking into account imbalance adverse effects on power oscillations. A suggested optimization cost function of a predictive-based controller is formulated to solve the trade-off problem between grid voltage support and voltage imbalance compensation by determining the optimal negative sequence reactive power to be injected to the reference current of a generator. The proposed predictive-based control strategy is evaluated under various distributed generation operating conditions in terms of injected active to reactive power ratio. Additionally, its performance is compared with the performance of an active power oscillations minimization (p̃-minimization) control strategy, where the active power oscillations due to reactive power disappear. In contrast with p̃-minimization control strategy, the proposed predictive-based strategy managed to reduce the active power oscillation. The adequacy of the proposed strategy is verified via simulations of a distributed energy resource (DER) grid-connected inverter under voltage imbalance caused by an unbalanced load. The simulation work presented in this paper was conducted using MATLAB/Simulink software. As a part of a smart inverter functions to preserve the energy supply under unbalanced conditions, this research would serve as a platform for studying the inverter optimal control of negative sequence component.

Authors: Shatalova Olga , Kuzmenko Yulia
Published: January 2023

The article presents a method developed by the authors for assessing regional indicators of sustainable development in the field of industry and innovation. The proposed method is based on the understanding of sustainability from the standpoint of Sustainable Development, as laid down in the UN concept. The authors’ method includes a structural model of decomposition of the corresponding national indicators and an algorithm for assessing the integral indicator of sus-tainable development of a region in the field of industry and innovation (SDind(9)). The structural model of decomposition of national indicators of sustainable development has been developed in the context of the existing system of state regional statistics. The estimation of the integral indica-tor SDind(9) is implemented using an intelligent procedure of fuzzy inference. The SDind(9) integral in-dicator serves the purpose of comparative characteristics of regions (in the studied population) ac-cording to criteria that are important for achieving the goal of the country's industrial and innova-tive development and are fixed in the system of national indicators of sustainable development. A comparative assessment allows to form reasonable judgments about the best practices of regional management in the field of industrial and innovative development and the possibilities of their scaling in similar regions of the Russian Federation.

Published: January 2023

Abating the air emission related to the transportation sector by operation of the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) system has been adopted in Indonesia. This study was conducted to obtain an overview of the implementation of BRT, the success of shifting private vehicles to BRT, and the number of emissions resulting from the operation of BRT. The study was conducted using a questionnaire and observations in BRT vehicles. A questionnaire survey was conducted randomly across Semarang sub-districts for 701 private vehicles consisting of cars and motorcycles in a parking lot. Questionnaires were distributed to BRT users in the waiting room and among those who left the BRT. The emission quantity is obtained from GPS observations installed in the BRT and quantified by the emission generation equation based on the bus speed. Even though they are not BRT users for daily activities, motorcycle users use BRT more frequently than private car users. For the private car and motorcycle users, the BRT coverage area is the first barrier to using the BRT system, followed by travel time (due to congestion and traffic jams). Based on current BRT users, the shifting of motorcycle users is far higher than private car users. About 30% of public transport users (besides BRT) shift to BRT users. The BRT emissions (CO and TSP) in the east-west corridor on weekdays and weekends are higher than those in the south-north corridor. Based on this study's results, the BRT application has not significantly reduced the use of private vehicles. Instead, shifting occurs from former public transport to BRT. BRT emissions are related to traffic route conditions and topography. BRT implementation needs to comprehensively consider social, economic and technical (infrastructure) aspects.

Published: January 2023

Among various diseases in humans, diabetes is one of the most complicated disorders resulting either from the malfunctioning of β cells, causing a poor discharge of insulin from them, or poor functioning of the liberated insulin. A wide array of chemical compounds so-called secondary metabolites are present in plants. These phytochemicals are produced as by-products of metabolism and play a key role in plant protection. However, in humans, they offer several beneficial functions. Polyphenols are an important class of phytochemicals and apart from fruits, they are also found in their major wastes mainly including the peel, pomace, and seed. The current review is aimed to focus on the potential sources, distribution, and extraction/isolation of polyphenols from major fruit wastes along with highlighting their medicinal and therapeutic benefits, especially in the management of diabetes.
Long-term state-driven atmospheric corrosion prediction of carbon steel in different corrosivity categories considering environmental effects
Authors: Ji Ziguang , Ma Xiaobing , Cai Yikun , Yang Li , Zhou Kun
Published: January 2023

This study investigates an environment-centered, state-driven corrosion prognosis framework to predict the long-term atmospheric corrosion loss of metal materials, and this paper takes carbon steel as an example to show the establishment process of the framework. Unlike traditional power-linear prediction models that seldomly consider environmental impacts, the proposed model quantitatively establishes the correlations between corrosion loss and dynamic atmospheric environmental factors. A comprehensive power-linear function model integrating multiple atmospheric environmental factors is constructed, following the corrosion kinetics robustness. Under the proposed framework, the steady-state start time is evaluated, followed by the long-term corrosion loss prediction under different corrosivity categories and test sites. The applicability is justified via a case study of long-term field exposure tests of metal materials in China, as well as the experimental results of the ISO CORRAG program. By comparing with the traditional power model and ISO model, the experimental results demonstrate the capability and effectiveness of the proposed prognosis methodology in acquiring accurate corrosion state information and corrosion loss prediction results with less input corrosion information.

Multi-photon polymerization using upconversion nanoparticles for tunable feature-size printing

Published: January 2023

The recent development of light-based 3D printing technologies has marked a turning point in additive manufacturing. Through photopolymerization, liquid resins can be solidified into complex objects. Usually, the polymerization is triggered by exciting a photoinitiator with ultraviolet (UV) or blue light. In two-photon printing (TPP), the excitation is done through the non-linear absorption of two photons; it enables printing 100-nm voxels but requires expensive femtosecond lasers which strongly limit their broad dissemination. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have recently been proposed as an alternative to TPP for photopolymerization but using continuous-wave lasers. UCNPs convert near-infrared (NIR) into visible/UV light to initiate the polymerization locally as in TPP. Here we provide a study of this multi-photon mechanism and demonstrate how the non-linearity impacts the printing process. In particular, we report on the possibility of fine-tuning the size of the printed voxel by adjusting the NIR excitation intensity. Using gelatin-based hydrogel, we are able to vary the transverse voxel size from 1.3 to 2.8 μm and the axial size from 7.7 to 59 μm by adjusting the NIR power without changing the degree of polymerization. This work opens up new opportunities to construct 3D structures with micrometer feature size by direct laser writing with continuous wave inexpensive light sources.
Mechanical modification of RAFT-based living polymer networks by photo-growth with crosslinker
Authors: Anderson Bainbridge Chris William , Hye Lee Chloe Eun , Broderick Neil , Jin Jianyong
Published: January 2023

In this work we present a study into the usage of crosslinker growth of Reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization (RAFT)-based Living Polymer Networks (LPNs) for the purpose of mechanical strengthening. Previous work with LPNs has thoroughly covered growth with monomers for various goals, and has touched on using a small amount of crosslinker during growth to retain mechanical strength after growth. Herein, we demonstrate growth with both purely crosslinker and purely monomer for the sake of comparison. We also show this across both symmetries of RAFT agent to see how their different growth behaviors affect the results. The asymmetric RAFT underwent a mesh-filling process during growth which resulted in both crosslinker and monomer strengthening the parent network to a similar degree. However, with the symmetric RAFT agent we saw that the crosslinker and monomer growth caused opposite effects due to their impact on the average crosslinking density; while monomer growth lowered it, growth with crosslinker increased it and strengthened the gel accordingly.
Grundlagen der Gasfeuchte Teil 2 (Kenngrößen der Gasfeuchte)
Authors: Mitter Helmut
Published: January 2023

Die Gasfeuchte wird in der messtechnischen Praxis je nach Anwendungsfall durch eine Reihe unterschiedlicher Kenngröen beschrieben. Dabei ist die Nomenklatur je nach Fachgebiet oft nicht einheitlich, was manchmal zu Missverständnissen führt. All diese Kenngröen haben ihre Berechtigung und können jeweils ineinander umgerechnet werden, wobei meist noch der jeweilige Gaszustand (Druck und Temperatur) eine Rolle spielt. Basierend auf dem Sättigungsverhalten von Wasser in einem Trägergas (Grundlagen der Gasfeuchte Teil1) werden die wichtigsten Kenngröen der Gasfeuchte definiert und hergeleitet. Dabei wird immer vom Stoffmengenanteil des Wassers im feuchten Gas ausgegangen, sodass im Allgemeinen alle Messgröen auch bei realem Zustandsverhalten des Gases korrekt sind. Für einige der Kenngröen, speziell der relativen Feuchte, werden manchmal verwendete alternative Definitionen angegeben und diskutiert.

The Cultural Legacy of the Pre-Ashkenazic Jews in Eastern Europe
Authors: Taube Moshe
Published: January 2023

This book uncovers cultural traces of the ancient Jewry of Eastern Europe from the tenth to the fifteenth centuries in translations from Hebrew into East Slavic. These translations range from accounts of Old Testament prophets and other historical figures important to both Jews and Christians, such as Alexander the Great, to scientific and philosophical texts on subjects spanning astronomy, physiognomy, and metaphysics. Moshe Taube’s fine-grained analysis teases out a robust picture of this massive cultural enterprise: the translators, their erudition, their biases, and their collaborative methods of translation with neighboring Christians. Summarizing over thirty years of the author’s philological and linguistic research, this book is a substantial original contribution to the cultural history of Jews in Eastern Europe and their interaction with, and influence on, Slavic culture in the Middle Ages and Early Modern period.

International migrants’ home countries often play an integral part in protecting their citizens’ labor and human rights abroad. At the same time, institutions such as labor unions, worker centers, and legal aid groups are among the most visible actors holding governments of immigrant destinations accountable. Focusing on Mexico and the United States, Scaling Migrant Worker Rights analyzes how these organizations pressure governments to defend migrants. The result is a multilayered picture of the impediments to migrant worker rights and the possibilities for their realization.

Published: January 2023

In the context of the public sector, projects are implemented to fulfil the government's social responsibility to ensure more balanced growth with equity in a developing country. Even though the country has entered the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), there are still inefficiencies in the financial and physical performance of public projects due to the weaknesses at the project planning stage. This study examines the influence of human/personnel, project management, technical, and organisational factors on project planning for physical projects in Sabah. This study utilised a quantitative method using a questionnaire and the respondents involved 273 officers from the Management and Professional group (Grades 41- 54) at the Federal Government and Sabah State Government levels. Data were analysed using descriptive analysis. The study found that the factors influencing project planning are at a very agreeable level of 4.08 mean (81.50%) which explains that these four factors greatly influence the planning of a project. The organisational factor is the most dominant factor, with the highest mean of 4.35 (86.8%). Therefore, it can be concluded that the top management of the Ministry/Agency needs to enhance support and commitment to the project team where this support can give a positive signal to the parties involved with the project.

Modern digitalization technology known as Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) has the potential to enhance business operations and communication networks across a variety of sectors. The lack of high-tech processes and technology in the construction industry, however, is growing the distance between the industry and IR 4.0 change. There has not been any prior research on the drivers and challenges of the IR 4.0 transition in the construction industry using DEMATEL. Therefore, the DEMATEL method was utilised to assess the interaction between the drivers and barriers of the IR 4.0 revolution in the construction industry. From the literature review, a list of factors that influence and hinder growth was taken. During interviews, 17 experts provided data using the DEMATEL questionnaire, which was subsequently used for analysis. The impact-relation map diagram showed key elements and their relationships. The outcome demonstrates challenges with the Incompatibility of Innovations (P) is the most significant issue, which is a major barrier that must be overcome. As a result, the listed drivers can be improved further, and the mentioned barriers can be overcome.
Promethean struggle: Shelley, Keats, and Norwid in search of rescue in the risky world
Authors: Niemirycz Aleksandra
Published: January 2023

The myth of Prometheus sacrificing his freedom to give men authority over a powerful element of nature despite the will of the gods has, in modern times, inspired authors of different languages who kept transforming it according to their views. Both Western and Polish poets of Romanticism favoured the Promethean idea. In their Promethean – or Messianic – visions Mickiewicz and Słowacki emphasized the importance of armed or spiritual struggle for Polandʼs independence against Tsarist Russia, while English language poets praised the individualʼs rebellion in the face of the oppressive society. Cyprian Norwidʼs interpretation of the myth combined the individual and the collective. He saw Prometheus as a craftsman whose gift, fire – ʻteacher of all artsʼ - is a tool for ultimate salvation through Beauty incorporated in mas terpieces. Norwidʼs philosophy is profoundly rooted in Christian soteriology. According to the poet, the revival of both his nation and of the individual is possible only through arduous work, through creative effort understood as cooperation with Christ the saviour in the attainment of salvation leading to both individual and national resurrection.
Street art and protest under pandemic conditions in Colombia: A visual semiotic approach
Authors:   The Pontifical Bolivarian University, Medellín, Colombia, Blandón Gómez Hernando
Published: January 2023

This article engages in a visual critical semiotic analysis of Medellín street art and its interpretation as political action in the Colombian social mobilisation of 2021. I explore three epistemological turns towards a descriptive and contrastive methodology to contextualize street art and its transformative potential. Firstly, the spatial turn leads us to understand how space and street art function as a framework of life and conflict that challenges viewers socially and politically. Secondly, following Peirceʼs ideas, I reinter preted some images. I explain how they function as theoretical objects related to indices, signs and symbols. According to Mitchell's image turn, the image functions as a significant semantic unit. Thirdly, I read the political turn based on Rancièreʼs works in which he equates the political and the aesthetic as an act of visibility, always existing together at a conceptual and substantive level, and with which emancipation is objective. The article does not try to argue whether street art has a transformative power as this has been widely discussed in the literature. The article looks at street art that appeared in the context of the social mobilisation of 2021-2022, and partially in the context of the recent pandemic as a social transformation, the fact of which was proven by the recent elections.

This paper aimed to genetically analyse German surnames. The origin of the surnames was established with the use of onomastic dictionaries or lexicons of place names. In the manuscript material under examination, existing variants of the surnames were identified, and an attempt was made to establish the source of their origin, such as the Polonisation of the surnames. Based on two publications, it was determined whether the analysed surnames were preserved until the 18th and 20th centuries. These surnames are derived from: the place of origin, names of localities, given names, names of professions and nicknames. Only six surnames have variants (alternatives). The reasons for surname variants include Polonisation, including the reduction of doubled conso nants in the rime, the omission of the silent h, metathesis and the doubling of consonants without justification. Only six names out of 26 were preserved until the 18th century, and only two until the 20th century.

The article examines the semantic dynamics of the concept of “household economy” in the Old Russian language, and establishes cognitive attributes in relation to its logical-rational, figurative-perceptual and value components. The naive household economy, reflected in lexical and phraseological units, contains (explicitly or implicitly) signs of the conceptualization of the East Slavic notion of household economy as an organization of domestic life through the figure of the main, first person. The paper uses the method of semantic-linguistic and linguistic-cultural analysis. The proto-concept “household economy” evolved through the expansion of the semantics and accentuation of the attribute ‘setting in/home improvement’, ‘house keeping’ since new lexemes domoustroystvo, domovodstvo convey the main goal of economic activity. Peripheral attributes verbalized in specific and generalized nominations of household items (skarb, dobro, pozhitki etc.) confirm the stability of the conceptualization of the household economy as an organization of domestic life, and economic activity as an activity to ensure the preservation and increase of household property of the community. The axio-categories of the proto-concept “household economy” are such characteristics of running a household as thrift, careful spending, diligence, and rationality, which would later be verbalized in the lexemes khozyaystvennyy, khozyaystvennik [economic, business manager].
Intuicja jako zdolność mentalna i metoda badawcza językoznawcy
Authors:   Uniwersytet Szczeciński, Piegzik Wioletta A.
Published: January 2023

The main purpose of this article is to discuss intuition as a mental capacity of every language user and as a research method used by the linguist that can bring deeper insights into the nature of language. The linguist-language researcher has a privileged position: on the one hand, he/she is a user of language and has the ability to use it in practice; on the other hand, he/she has in-depth explicit knowledge of language and methodological compe tence to support its analysis. The paper points out that language is a complex psychological reality residing in the structures of the mind, which is often extra-logical and relies more on intuitive than logical processing. Inductive reasoning and collocational analysis are given as examples of intuitive processing. Postulating the role of intuition in the study of language, the author draws on the intuitionism of Henri Bergson and cites arguments taken from the works of the French scholar and Nobel Prize winner.

The object of interest of the present study is the teaching of Russian as a foreign language in remote form during the pandemic period. The author has made it the aim of the article to determine the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning Russian at a higher education institution in Poland. The analysis was based on the experience and opinions of the academic community of Russian philology at the University of Bialystok. The qualitative empirical data were obtained from an interview with subjects participating in the process of teaching and learning a foreign language – lecturers and students. The information obtained highlights a number of problems hindering remote work in language education: technical, methodological, psychological, as well as ethical troubles. Nevertheless, the experience of the respondents also shows that online learning has many advantages, such as increasing one’s own skills in operating educational platforms and programs, making classes more attractive by using the latest digital technologies and interactive teaching methods, etc.
