Authors: Liu Zhenghong , Zhao Huiliang , Lv Jian , Chen Qipeng , Xiong Qiaoqiao
Published: October 2022

Due to the difference in distance cognition between virtual and real symmetric space, it is difficult for users to accurately interact with the target in the Digital Twin system. In order to study the cross-effects of interaction task, target size and target location on the accuracy of egocentric peripersonal distance cognition, a 2 × 5 × 9 × 5 asymmetric experiment was designed and carried out. There were two kinds of interaction tasks, five kinds of interaction target widths and nine kinds of spatial locations set to estimate the five egocentric peripersonal distances. Based on the experimental data, with interaction task, target width and the actual spatial location as independent variables and virtual interaction location as a dependent variable, the mapping model between the actual physical location and virtual interaction location of different interaction targets was constructed and evaluated by multiple linear regression method. The results showed that the prediction model constructed by stepwise regression method was simple and less computationally intensive, but it had better stability and prediction ability. The correlation coefficients R2 on xp, yp and zp were 0.994, 0.999 and 0.998, RMSE values were 2.583 cm, 1.0774 cm and 1.3155 cm, rRMSE values were 26.57%, 12.60% and 1.15%, respectively. The research of relevant experiments and the construction of models are helpful to solve the layout optimization problem of virtual interactive space in the Digital Twin system.
Features of Fermion Dynamics Revealed by SU2 Symmetry
Authors: Plastino Angelo , Ferri Gustavo Luis , Plastino Angel Ricardo
Published: October 2022

We deal here with the notion of statistical order and apply it to a system of interacting fermions endowed with an SU2 × SU2 symmetry. The discussion takes place in a thermal quantum statistical scenario. Two distinct fermion–fermion interactions are at play. One of them is a well-known spin–flip interaction. The other is the pairing interaction responsible for nuclear superconductivity. We used novel statistical quantifiers that yield insights regarding changes in the statistical order produced when the values of the pertinent coupling constants vary. In particular, we show that judicious manipulation of the energy cost associated with statistical order variations with the fermion number is the key to understanding important details of the associated dynamics.
Basic Notions of Poisson and Symplectic Geometry in Local Coordinates, with Applications to Hamiltonian Systems
Authors: Deriglazov Alexei A.
Published: October 2022

This work contains a brief and elementary exposition of the foundations of Poisson and symplectic geometries, with an emphasis on applications for Hamiltonian systems with second-class constraints. In particular, we clarify the geometric meaning of the Dirac bracket on a symplectic manifold and provide a proof of the Jacobi identity on a Poisson manifold. A number of applications of the Dirac bracket are described: applications for proof of the compatibility of a system consisting of differential and algebraic equations, as well as applications for the problem of the reduction of a Hamiltonian system with known integrals of motion.

Published: October 2022

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is still one of the most dangerous viral illnesses. HBV infects around 257 million individuals worldwide. Hepatitis B in many individuals ultimately develops hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is the sixth most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The innate immunity acts as the first line of defense against HBV infection through activating antiviral genes. Along with the immune responses, pro-inflammatory cytokines are triggered to enhance the antiviral responses, but this may result in acute or chronic liver inflammation, especially when the clearance of virus is unsuccessful. To a degree, the host innate immune and inflammatory responses dominate the HBV infection and liver pathogenesis. Thus, it is crucial to figure out the signaling pathways involved in the activation of antiviral factors and inflammatory cytokines. Here, we review the interplay between HBV and the signal pathways that mediates innate immune responses and inflammation. In addition, we summarize current therapeutic strategies for HBV infection via modulating innate immunity or inflammation. Characterizing the mechanisms that underlie these HBV-host interplays might provide new approaches for the cure of chronic HBV infection.

Published: October 2022

Isolates of three endornavirus species were identified co-infecting an unidentified species of Ceratobasidium, itself identified as a symbiont from within the roots of a wild plant of the terrestrial orchid Pterostylis vittata in Western Australia. Isogenic lines of the fungal isolate lacking all three mycoviruses were derived from the virus-infected isolate. To observe how presence of endornaviruses influenced gene expression in the fungal host, we sequenced fungus-derived small RNA species from the virus-infected and virus-free isogenic lines and compared them. The presence of mycoviruses influenced expression of small RNAs. Of the 3272 fungus-derived small RNA species identified, the expression of 9.1% (300 of 3272) of them were up-regulated, and 0.6% (18 of 3272) were down-regulated in the presence of the viruses. Fourteen novel micro-RNA-like RNAs (Cer-milRNAs) were predicted. Gene target prediction of the differentially expressed Cer-milRNAs was quite ambiguous; however, fungal genes involved in transcriptional regulation, catalysis, molecular binding, and metabolic activities such as gene expression, DNA metabolic processes and regulation activities were differentially expressed in the presence of the mycoviruses.

Published: October 2022

Immunocompromised patients experience reduced vaccine effectiveness and are at higher risk for coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) death. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) aims to protect these patients. So far, only tixagevimab/cilgavimab is authorized for use as PrEP. This paper aims to provide real-world data on the use of tixagevimab/cilgavimab and sotrovimab as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) PrEP in immunocompromised patients, comparing the evolution of antibody levels and reporting the incidence of breakthrough infections. A retrospective, single-center analysis was conducted including 132 immunocompromised patients with inadequate vaccine response, who received COVID-PrEP at our clinic between January and June 2022. Initially, 95 patients received sotrovimab while 37 patients received tixagevimab/cilgavimab. Antibody levels after first PrEP with sotrovimab remain high for several months after infusion (median 10,058 and 7235 BAU/mL after 1 and 3 months, respectively), with higher titers than after tixagevimab/cilgavimab injection even 3 months later (7235 vs. 1647 BAU/mL, p = 0.0007). Overall, breakthrough infections were rare (13/132, 10%) when compared to overall infection rates during this period (over 30% of the Austrian population), with mild disease course and rapid viral clearance (median 10 days). Sotrovimab may be an additional option for SARS-CoV-2 PrEP.

Published: October 2022

A study was conducted to determine stable cortical contrast response functions (CRFs) accurately and repeatedly in the shortest possible experimentation time. The method consisted of searching for experimental temporal aspects (number and duration of trials and number and distribution of contrasts used) with a model based on inhomogeneous Poisson spike trains to varying contrast levels. The set of values providing both short experimental duration and maximizing fit of the CRFs were saved, and then tested on cats’ visual cortical neurons. Our analysis revealed that 4 sets of parameters with less or equal to 6 experimental visual contrasts satisfied our premise of obtaining good CRFs’ performance in a short recording period, in which the number of trials seems to be the experimental condition that stabilizes the fit.
A New Approach for Assessing Heat Balance State along a Water Transfer Channel during Winter Periods

Published: October 2022

Ice problems in channels for water transfer in cold regions seriously affect the capacity and efficiency of water conveyance. Sometimes, ice problems such as ice jams in water transfer channels create risk during winter periods. Recently, water temperature and environmental factors at various cross-sections along the main channel of the middle route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project in China have been measured. Based on these temperature data, the heat balance state of this water transfer channel has been investigated. A principal component analysis (PCA) method has been used to analyze the complex factors influencing the observed variations of the water temperature, by reducing eigenvector dimension and then extracting the principal component as the input feature. Based on the support vector machine (SVM) theory, a new approach for judging the heat loss or heat gain of flowing water in a channel during winter periods has been developed. The Gaussian radial basis is used as the kernel function in this new approach. Then, parameters have been optimized by means of various methods. Through the supervised machine learning process toward the observed water temperature data, it is found that the air–water temperature difference and thermal conditions are the key factors affecting the heat loss or heat absorption of water body. Results using the proposed method agree well with those of measurements. The changes of water temperature are well predicted using the proposed method together with the state of water heat balance.

The main objective of this study was to assess the quality and quantity of roof-harvested rainwater to overcome the water shortage problem in the study area. We also aimed to find health hazards associated with rainwater in the study area. For this purpose, rainwater samples were collected from five sites in the study area. The samples were analyzed using standard methods of the World Health Organization and the American Public Health Association in a laboratory. The analysis showed that all the physicochemical parameters were within the permissible limits of the WHO’s guidelines except pH, turbidity, and some trace metals such as iron (Fe) and lead (Pb). The mean values of pH range from 5.18 to 6.26, indicating slight acidity, while the highest mean turbidity was found at 5.77 NTU. Similarly, the highest mean concentrations of Fe and Pb were 0.95 mg/L and 0.056 mg/L, respectively, which was above the permissible limit of the WHO’s guidelines for drinking water. The annual rainwater-harvesting potential was assessed using the formula annual rainfall × roof area× runoff coefficient. The annual rainwater-harvesting potential of the study area was 56.803 L per household. At the same time, the average monthly rainwater-harvesting potential was 4733 L in the study area. This shows the potential for roof-harvested rainwater in the study area. A risk assessment of heavy metals showed that the rainwater of the study area is safe and does not pose any risk. This study concludes that rainwater is suitable for drinking and other domestic consumption if proper care is taken to clean the roof area and storage system and divert the first flush from the storage system.

Published: October 2022

Formaldehyde residues in muscle tissue were determined for Nile tilapia Tilapia niloticus which had been treated indefinitely with formalin at rates of 25 mg·I·1, and bath treatments of 125mg·l·1 for 1.5 h or 250 mg-1-1 for 1 h. In the indefinite treatment, formaldehyde in treated fish in­creased slightly from 48 to 72 h, and levels were back to normal at 96 h. There were, however, no statistical differences in the formaldehyde residue between formalin indefinitely treated fish and control fish. In the bath treatments, there were no significant differences in muscle formalde­hyde residue between treated and control fish, and between fish treated with 125 and 250 mg·l·1 formalin. Formalin degraded more quickly at high temperature than at low temperature. No effect of salinity on formalin degradation was found in water at 25 ± 1°c.

Published: October 2022

Observations on the activity, survival and penetration or first-stage larvae of the nematode Procamallanus heteropneustus to the gut wall or the copepod intermediate host were made. Survival was influenced by temperature. Larvae survived 9 d at summer (32 ± l °C) and 14 d at winter (23 ± l°C) temperatures. Penetration decreased with the age of larvae and was more rapid at winter temperature. Larval activity rates also decreased with age. Activity was found to be the most important factor for penetration of the copepod gut wall.
Statistical Relations Between Lengths and Weights of Green Tiger Prawns, Penaeus semisulcatus, in Kuwait Waters
Authors: XU XUCAl , GHAFFAR A.R. ABDUL
Published: October 2022

A quadratic model was found appropriate in describing the relations among the total, body and carapace lengths of green tiger prawns (Penaeus semisulcatus De Haan), irrespective of maturity, in Kuwait waters; whereas a linear model fitted well the length-length relations when the data for mature and immature female shrimp were analyzed separately. Residual analysis suggested that the logarithm of the allometric form fitted well the weight-length data of large green tiger prawns with total length larger than or equal to 55 mm, whereas a linear model fitted well the weight-length data of small shrimp with total length less than 55 mm. Significant negative and positive deviations from isometric growth were found, respectively, for weight-carapace length and weight-total length relations for large shrimp; whereas tail weight-body length relations followed nicely the isometric growth. We suggest that the length-length relations of other shrimp species be reexamined using regression analysis with a model adequacy test. A variance estimator for predicted weight from length using regression equation was proposed.

During the current Covid-19 pandemic, which makes the community's economy difficult, the home industry is a brilliant solution, especially for people with disabilities. There is no stipulation on how much minimum capital to start, let alone age limit. Enough with a modest injection of funds, will, and persistence. The home industry can help people with disabilities in meeting the costs of their daily needs. The assumption that work must be a worker in a company or institution needs to be felt is not true. Building a home industry can also provide a large income, without having to work in someone else's place. Not only profit for ourselves, the home industry can also provide benefits to the people around us. If the home industry has grown large, it can absorb labor so as to improve the welfare of the community. With the good development of home industries in an area, it is hoped that in the future there will be many home industry units that produce similar products, such as the Independent Skilled UPPKS chaired by Mrs. Titi Sayekti, SKM which has the ability to process starfruit into syrup and can be developed into industry. Household Products Starfruit Syrup with high economic value.

ANNULAR CHAMBERS IN CRETACEOUS ORBITOLINIDAE (LARGER BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA): AN OVERVIEW
Authors: SCHLAGINTWEIT FELIX
Published: October 2022

Annular chambers, if present, are usually confined to ultimate chambers within some Orbitolinidae, and were therefore regarded of subordinate importance not being included in the family diagnosis. However, this peculiar chamber type in some agglutinated conical foraminifera forms almost the entire post-embryonic part of the test. This may either be due to the general plan of test construction (e.g., in genus Coskinolinella Delmas & Deloffre, species Pseudorbitolina schroederi Luger) or represent a special test adaptation to changing environmental conditions during transgressive events (e.g., in genus Palorbitolinoides Cherchi & Schroeder). An emendation of the diagnosis of the family Orbitolinidae is here proposed to include tests that may consist completely or almost exclusively of post-embryonic annular chambers. As a result, the genus Coskinolinella Delmas & Deloffre, up to now treated as a genus of uncertain status or deleted in foraminiferal classifications, is now included in the family Orbitolinidae. Uniserial chambers with distinct concave apertural faces (appearing as stacked-cones) have erroneously been interpreted as annular chambers in the case of the late Albian-early Cenomanian Heterocoskinolina bariensis Luperto Sinni & Reina and therefore misassigned to Coskinolinella. Besides the different chamber arrangement, such an assignment would also contradict the established latest Aptian–early late Albian Coskinolinella lineage (C. daguini-C. santanderensis-C. navarrensis), and its palaeogeographically restricted occurrence.

FORMATION OF THE PLOT STRUCTURE OF MAGIKA 2010 MUSICAL FILM THROUGH CHARACTERISTICS AND FUNCTIONS OF SONGS IN TODOROV'S NARRATIVE ELEMENTS
Authors: Saddi Faezahnor , Dawam Zairul Anwar , Hisham Fazmi
Published: October 2022

The musical film genre is a form of entertainment film guided in the form of singing and accompanied by diagetic and non-diagetic music that forms the plot structure of a story. Each song that is sung works in moving the plot of the story so that it is easily understood and accepted by the watching audience. However, the difficulty in deepening and understanding the musical arrangement of the narrative plot will cause the plot narrative to be uninteresting and boring. Therefore, to understand the formation of the plot structure through the characteristics and functions of the song, the researcher has applied Todorov's narrative elements to 2 songs from the musical film Magika (2010) as a case study analysis. The selection of Magika films is based on the achievements of films that have won awards for best film and best original music score at the 23rd Malaysian Film Festival. The research method is conducted through interviews in stages by interviewing several film directors and composers, notes and observations of the film Magika (2010). Then the analysis study is also done by using the theory of Conceptual Integration Networks in studying the meaning of the lyrics. As a result of the research update, the researcher found that the narrative formation of the plot of the musical film Magika is due to the songs sung by all the characters that are built from song elements and plot structure through Todorov's narrative theory. The results of this study also provide implications for film makers, educators, and students in understanding the importance of song functions in the musical film genre.

The study of peer feedback in enhancing learning has been evident in the literature. Notably, its value has left marked improvement in language learning. Although there have been critics about its significance, it undeniably has significant traces in learning. This study looked into the practice of peer feedback implemented during a writing course program that took four weeks to complete. The study aimed to explore learners' perceptions about the practice and the challenges they faced while engaging in peer feedback practices. The study adopted a qualitative approach in which data were obtained from 10 participants' reflective writings collected at the completion of the writing programme. The results indicated that learners found they had a positive experience with the practice because the feedback from peers complemented feedback received from the teacher. Furthermore, the practice provided more opportunities for class interaction between peers, thus making English class more meaningful. However, setbacks like time constraints and students' acceptance of peer comments are challenges that need to be addressed in the future. Nevertheless, peer feedback in ESL classrooms, particularly in writing class, is worth considering in enhancing English language learning experience.
SOCIAL MEDIA: THE ‘FORM OF LIFE' OF THE POST-MILLENNIAL GENERATION IN THE PHILIPPINES
Authors: De Guzman Eugene Victoriano
Published: October 2022

Meaning and use is one of the most notable accounts of Ludwig Wittgenstein in his Philosophy of language. This idea paves a way to consider the form of life in determining and understanding the meaning of a words or language. In ordinary use of language, the meaning of a word is to be understood by knowing its use (see Hartnack 1962, 69). Thus, the meaning of a word is its use in the language-game. Social Media has become indispensable in quotidian existence of every individual in 21st century particular for the post-millennial generation. This occurrence generated to the fact that social media has become the form of life of them. A form of life that yielded new meaning to some words due the agreement of the linguistic community within the language-game. This work is dedicated to explain the misunderstanding occurrences between the past generation and post-millennial generation especially when using words in social media and their attitudes. Likewise, this paper will explicate the meaning-use phenomenon on language in the social media platforms that everyone is conventionally encountering at.

CHALLENGES AND EFFECTIVENESS OF USING CISCO PACKET TRACER SIMULATOR IN LEARNING VPN CONNECTION (VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK)
Authors: Ahmad Abdul Halim
Published: October 2022

The simulation method is the use of computer applications that contain processes or models similar to real physical ones for learning purposes or other uses. The effectiveness of learning using simulation techniques does not only depend on the development of the simulation design, but must also understand how the simulation can be implemented. The study conducted is descriptive in order to identify the challenges and effectiveness of using the Cisco Packet Tracer simulator in learning VPN (Virtual Private Network) connections. The sample for this study consisted of 30 students who took a network security course at Kuala Terengganu Polytechnic. The instrument for this study consists of 2 sets of questions. The first set is a questionnaire used to identify the challenges of using the Cisco Packet Tracer simulator and the second is a practical test question to evaluate the effectiveness of using the Cisco Packet Tracer simulator. An experimental group that went through learning using Cisco Packet Tracer and a control group that went through conventional learning was formed to evaluate the effectiveness of using the Cisco Packet Tracer simulator. Data analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 27.0. The findings of the study show that there are three main challenges faced by students in the use of Cisco Packet Tracer. First, from a concentration point of view because written instructions need to be remembered and understood. Second, the use of Cisco Packet Tracer requires high skills in simulating a complex network and third, if there is a mistake in designing the network, it will cause errors that are difficult to find and this will have an impact on student learning. The results of the study also found that there was an increase in the academic achievement of students after they followed the learning method using the Cisco Packet Tracer simulator. Continuous improvement needs to be implemented in order to help students overcome the challenges faced when using Cisco Packet Tracer and its use in learning is expected to produce competent students in the field of networking.
MOBILE ASSISTED LANGUAGE LEARNING IN THE CONTEXT OF COMMUNICATIVE CLASSROOM PRACTICES
Authors: Pool Justin
Published: October 2022

This paper presents a mixed-methods approach to researching the viability of supplementing mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) apps focusing on receptive skills with a course curriculum that emphasizes meaningful communication, mitigation of error-aversion tendencies, cultural awareness, and presentation skills. Adult language learners working for a company were assigned fifty units of the online mobile assisted language learning application, ReallyEnglish, while concurrently taking weekly hour-long lessons that focused on meaningful communication, mitigation of error-aversion tendencies, cultural awareness, and presentation skills. Many researchers have lamented the fact that most MALL applications do not take full advantage of technological affordances to create opportunities for learners to use their devices as tools of interaction. Instead, apps that focus on receptive skills including vocabulary memorization and grammatical rules are more popular. This paper acknowledges that creating more apps focusing on productive skills is necessary but focuses on how to create a robust curriculum surrounding such receptive-skills apps. Learners improved as shown by standardized test scores, learner reflection, and surveys.

Published: October 2022

Franchising has become a worldwide international business activity. Companies have moved from conventional business models to multinational ones since the beginning of the twenty-first century to leverage their profitable performance and improve their competitive edge. Franchising is the best method for businesses to broaden into new areas. Franchisees play an important role in supporting franchise companies in expanding into new markets by providing valuable resources. This paper aims to provide an overview of academic research on franchisees in the franchise literature. An extensive bibliometric analysis, including bibliometric performance analysis and a graphic mapping of the references in this area, was carried out to achieve this. This research investigates journals, documents, authors, organizations/ institutions, and countries. The study employs various bibliometric metrics, such as the number of publications and citations to conduct the franchisee research. In addition, the VOS viewer is used to map the bibliographic content graphically. The graphical analysis uses co-citation, bibliographic coupling, and keyword co-occurrence. The findings of both studies are consistent, indicating that the United States is the most influential country in franchisee research, as it is home to the most influential authors and institutions in the field. Furthermore, the field's global growth has been observed and is expected to continue. Our study is insightful and complimentary since it covers most of the important aspects of franchisee research.
