Published: April 2023

Different spices have been reported containing antimicrobial compounds that can prevent or reduce the microbiological spoilage or pathogenic bacteria in meat or poultry products with various results. This study evaluated the effect of essential oils and extracts of spices in reducing bacteria in meat/poultry products using a meta-analysis approach by comparing the Hedges'd effect size (standardized mean difference, SMD, and 95% confidence interval, CI). A total of 240 data, extracted from 10 articles that were selected by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) from 121 full-text articles, were analyzed using Meta Essential tools. The results showed that essential oils had a better cumulative significant effect in reducing bacterial loads of meat/poultry products (SMD=-4.37, 95%CI=-5.63 to -3.10) in comparison to the extracts (SMD=-3.66, 95%Cl=-4.56 to -2.76). As essential oils, cassia (SMD=-58.17, 95%CI=-109.88 to -6.47) showed the best effect size, whereas as extract, ganghwayassuk (SMD=-4.19, 95%CI=-6.22 to -2.16) was the most significant. Furthermore, the total plate count was significantly affected by cassia (SMD=-58.17, 95%CI=-109.88 to -6.47), Enterobacteriaceae by sage (SMD=-5.93, 95%CI=-8.32 to -3.54), and coliform also by sage (SMD=-3.79, 95%CI=-6.76 to -0.82). In general, Salmonella spp. was found as pathogenic bacterium that was the most affected (SMD=-19.68 and 95%CI=-39.01 to -0.35). In the form of essential oils, dipping was the best way in reducing microorganisms, while as extracts, adding them in the products was the best method. This study provided reliable data in selecting spices for applications to improve the quality and safety of meat and poultry products.
ON THE CLASSIFICATION OF SANDSTONES
Authors: DRUMMOND CARL N.
Published: April 2023

Over the last three-quarters of a century various grain-based classification systems have been developed in order to categorize sandstones on the basis of the relative abundances of their three most common components: quartz, feldspar, and rock fragments. A review of the historical development of sandstone classification is undertaken to elucidate evolution in geological understanding represented by various methodologies of classification. The compositional fields defined in traditional sandstone classifications are found to be largely incompatible with subpopulations of sandstones grouped according to interpreted sedimentary tectonic provenance. The origin of this incompatibility between descriptive classifications and genetic classifications arose from the fact that neither approach established classification field boundaries on the basis of processes known to control the origin and evolution of sandstone composition. The development of the study of a range of factors that influence sandstone petrogenesis and grain composition are reviewed along with the introduction of several critical statistical techniques applicable to multicomponent grain abundance analysis. From the understandings gained by the evaluation of these advances in classification practice a set of potential topics for future consideration are introduced.
‘EX PEDE HERCULEM’: SLOTHS, SLAVERY, AND SOUTHERN FOSSIL COLLECTION IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY
Authors: SMITH LAURA ELIZABETH , ALLEN DRIGGERS E.
Published: April 2023

The Megatherium was thought to be a massive sloth-like creature that roamed different parts of the world including South America and coastal Georgia of the United States. Several nineteenth century naturalists collected and described fossilized remains of these large animals. Among those, the philosopher Samuel Latham Mitchell described them as ‘relics’ and new additions to the ‘giant brood’ of large animals in America. In his accounts, Mitchell did not acknowledge the original discoverers, enslaved African Americans. The discovery of the Megatherium in Georgia contributed to the discussion about distribution of those fossils; that discussion took place at venues such as the Lyceum of Natural History in New York. Using this case study, we seek to contextualize the importance of the Megatherium fossils collected in Georgia to the discourse about fossilized animals in the nineteenth century. The importance of slavery to fossil collecting in the South will also be analyzed.
ALBERT KOCH’S HYDRARCHOS: A HOAX OR A BONA FIDE COLLECTION OF BONES
Authors: BRUCE MCMILLAN R.
Published: April 2023

This is the second essay of a two-part series on the life and collecting activities of Albert Koch. After Koch traveled to England where he sold his Missourium to the British Museum, the American mastodon that now stands in the Natural History Museum of London, he then went to his homeland in Germany. Koch left his family in Dresden, when he again departed for the United States to pursue some additional paleontological adventures. Following several weeks of travel, he arrived in Alabama where he excavated the remains of a large, archaeocete whale, that he named the Hydrarchos. Koch displayed the skeleton in New York, and several other eastern cities before taking it to Europe. When in Berlin, Koch was able to sell the skeleton to King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia who placed it in the Royal Museum. Soon thereafter, Koch returned to the United States and Alabama to discover a second whale skeleton. He took this skeleton to Europe where it was exhibited in several cities but, having received no offers, Koch returned with his second Hydrarchos to the United States where it was initially displayed in New Orleans, then St. Louis, and eventually Chicago. In his later years, Koch turned his attention to the Academy of Science of St. Louis where he became an active member and curator, as well as a prospector for minerals. This essay examines the final chapters of Koch’s life and his entrepreneurial showmanship tendencies versus contributions he may have made to science. This narrative is a sequel to an article published in Volume 41 Number 2 of Earth Sciences History that focused on Albert Koch’s Missourium. Together, the two essays capture the life and career of Albert C. Koch.
Detention in the disciplinary battalion: comparative legal analysis of punishment in Ukraine and in Great Britain
Authors:   Academy of the State Penitentiary Service, Chernihiv, Ukraine, Nesterenko V.
Published: April 2023

This article is devoted to a comparative legal analysis of the procedure and conditions of execution and serving of punishment in the form of detention in a disciplinary battalion in Ukraine and punishment in the form of detention in a military corrective training center in Great Britain. Legal regulation of the responsibility of servicemen for committing offenses is reflected in the laws on the Armed Forces and articles of normative legal documents, such as criminal codes of different countries of the world. The current state of the reform of the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the background of the Russia's military aggression on the sovereign territory of Ukraine leads to a more thorough analysis of the existing system of servicemen' punishment for offenses committed by them, and any issue related to bringing the national Armed Forces to NATO standards is of high public interest and has a privileged significance. The conducted comparative legal analysis of the procedure and conditions of execution and serving of punishment in the form of detention in a disciplinary battalion in Ukraine and a similar unit of the Armed Forces of a NATO member country will provide scholars and other interested parties with an objective analysis of the effectiveness of this type of punishment, ensure the quality of execution of this type of punishment and inform national legislators about the existing models of functioning of this type of punishment. According to the results of this study, we proposed directions for the development of the disciplinary battalion of Ukraine, as well as measures for correction and resocialization of convicted servicemen, which will meet the needs of the servicemen themselves and ensure the protection of their rights and interests, as well as contribute to the formation of mechanisms of legal socialization and law-abiding behavior in their personality. Thus, the positive practices of correction and re-socialization of servicemen, quantitative indicators of recidivism, peculiarities of the material and technical base of the military corrective training center in Great Britain, proposed amendments to the legislation, as well as options for additional independent subjects of monitoring and control over the order and conditions of serving the sentence in the form of detention in a disciplinary battalion were highlighted.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: The potential benefits of anaesthesia techniques in the parameters of cellular immunity and prevention of metastasis in various types of cancer are attracting increasing attention.
OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to estimate the influence of the epidural blockade as a component of the anesthesia support on the immunity indexes in the patients operated for gastric cancer.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 89 patients operated on for gastric cancer, divided into two groups were investigated: in the 1st group (n=27) there was general anesthesia (GA) in combination with extended epidural blockade; in the 2nd group (n=24) GA with postoperative intravenous administration of analgesics. T-cell counts (CD3+, CD4+ CD8+, CD4+/CD8+) and cytokines (IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, INF-y and TNF-a) were determined.
RESULTS: The CD3+ T-cell levels in both groups were significantly (р 0.05) reduced immediately after surgery. On the 2nd and 3rd day the decrease in CD3+ T-cells was more pronounced (р 0.05) in the 2nd group compared to the 1st group. The content of CD4+ T-cells decreased by the 1st day of the postoperative period (р 0,05) but then gradually increased, the CD4+ level in the 1st group was significantly (р 0.05) higher than in the 2nd group. The changes of CD8+ content between the studied groups were not statistically significant. The immunoregulatory index in both groups decreased by1st day (р 0.05). On the 9th day the index in the 1st group returned to the basic values, while in the 2nd group it remained significantly lower. On the 1st and 3rd day, the levels of IL-4 and IL-6 significantly (р 0.05) increased, while in the 2nd group the levels were higher than in the 1st group (р 0.05). On the 9th day IL-4 and IL-6 indices returned to their initial values. The changes of IL-10 level had a similar pattern, while in the 1st group the rate was significantly higher (р 0.05). At all stages of investigation, the level of IFN- was significantly (р 0.05) higher in the 2nd group, the level of TNF- was higher in the 1st group (р 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The use of postoperative epidural analgesia during gastric resection for malignant neoplasm is associated with a less suppressive effect on the content of subpopulations of T-lymphocytes and cytokines in comparison with intravenous administration of analgesics and may contribute to the activation of antitumor immune response. Prospective long-term studies are needed to evaluate physician epidural analgesia for oncological outcomes after surgery for gastric cancer.

Authors: Lapkina Irina V. , Ovechkin Alexey M. , Alekseeva Tatyana M. , Kozlov Vasily V. , Bezrukov Evgenii A. , Slusarenko Roman I.
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic kidney surgery is performed mostly under general anesthesia. Regional techniques, primarily epidural anesthesia / analgesia (EA), help improve the surgical results. However, EA is often accompanied by several complications and side effects. The thoracic paravertebral block (PVB) is considered a reasonable and effective alternative.
OBJECTIVE: To conduct a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of general anesthesia (GA) + PVB, GA alone, and GA + EA in laparoscopic kidney surgery.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: An open-label randomized clinical study enrolled 180 patients who underwent laparoscopic kidney surgery. By using an online tool (https//www resource.studyrandomizer.com), the patients were divided into three groups in a 1:1:1 ratio. Group 1 (n=60) underwent surgery under GA + PVB, group 2 (n=60) under GA, and group 3 under GA + EA. In each group, the intra-, and postoperative need for opioids, pain intensity on a visual analog scale (VAS) 1, 6, 12, and 24 h after surgery, and activation time were assessed. The results of the groups were compared. The frequency and nature of complications when performing and working with PVB were studied.
RESULTS: The intraoperative need for opioids was greater in the GA group and comparable in the GA + PVB and GA + EA groups (p=0.137). The postoperative pain in the PVB group remained consistently low (VAS score 2 points) during the observation period. In the GA group, it reached 5 points after 1, 6, and 12 h and 4 points 24 h after the surgery; in the EA group, it was 4 points (1, 6, and 12 h) and 3 points 24 h after the surgery. The prolonged PVB in the postoperative period significantly lowered the opioid need (p=0.045) and contributed to earlier activation of the patients (p=0.001). Under ultrasound control, PVB is safe, and effective.
CONCLUSION: The study showed that PVB in the complex of anesthetic support for kidney surgery provides an effective and safe anesthesia / analgesia and can be used as an alternative to EA.

Engineering application of BIM in saving water and energy conservation
Authors: Wen Xiangbin , Wang Zhenghui
Published: April 2023

With the improvement of living standards, people are more and more eager to improve the efficiency of energy conservation and emissions reduction of buildings. Pursuant to this, the application of BIM technology in the water supply and drainage engineering of green buildings is proposed. Firstly, the BIM model is built to draw the axis network and axis height and transform the spatial position of family components, which is conductive to addressing the problem of the loss of engineering information. Then, the energy-saving pathways of green building water supply and drainage projects are analyzed, Concretely, the drainage energy consumption can be reduced by decreasing the overall head of the water pump. The pipe resistance and drainage efficiency can be respectively reduced and improved through reasonable selection of parallel drainage pipelines. Also, the principle of "avoiding the peak and filling valley" can be adopted to reduce pump operation in peak period and water draining in valley period, thereby saving drainage cost. By optimizing the control strategy of the drainage system and improving the utilization rate of water resources, the final results of the study show that BIM technology can realize 69% energy saving of the total savings in water supply and drainage engineering of green buildings, decrease cost consumption and improve the quality of water supply and drainage system, so as to make full use of limited water resources to achieve the effect of energy conservation and emission reduction.

Published: April 2023

The software package IBM code for interacting boson model-1 and Neutron Proton Boson NPBOS code for interacting boson model-2 have been used to calculate energy levels for, for by estimating a set of parameters which are used to predict the behavior of even-even isotones within the current scope of work there is clear competition between the two parameters (ε and a2) in isotones, as an inverse relationship. This means that vibrational qualities are continuous mixed with the rotational properties. In interacting boson model-2 parameters(ε, κ, χπ and χν) have been shown similarity with interacting boson model-1 expected. The Majorana parameter effect (ζ2) on the calculated excitation energy level for isotones has been accomplished by vary the ζ2 around the optimum-matches to practical data. The effect of increasing ζ2 on mixing symmetry states is the same in all isotones but different from state to another, we find the state J+ = 23+ was the lowest mixing symmetry states still approximately constant in the all. In that time,isotones have 1+, 3+1, 5+1 mixed symmetry states, rapidly increasing with increasing ζ2. The results of the calculated energy levels were in acceptable agreement with the experimental data. There is no pure vibrational property of these isotones

Published: April 2023

This research discusses and analyses cutting-edge applications for water-energy-food nexus system analysis. It is axiomatic that substantial data should be acquired for a comprehensive model. The WEF nexus simulator may therefore be built to any extent by using simulated data future integral field spectroscopic (IFs and THENs) for WEF nexus interaction. The required data was then organized, and interactions (IFs and THENs) between the three subsystems were investigated. These IFs and THENs aid in our understanding of and ability to address the intricacy of the WEF. Given that the present study’s objective is to review various solutions for WEF Nexus We can now use these classifications to simplify the WEF nexus idea. In other words, the relationship between the three subsystems is demonstrated by the IFs and THENs variables. It would make sense to remove one of the following THEN variables from one subsystem if one of the IF variables in another subsystem remained. Because earlier Nexus initiatives did not provide information on how to initiate and discover interactions, it will be simple to determine interactions. This study demonstrates how a thorough nexus simulation model can access and communicate a wide range of data. The nexus model's interrelationships and interactions with other subsystems can be easily recovered thanks to this classification approach, and none of them will be missed because of ignorance of the nexus system. These IFs and THENs variables are also seen to be an excellent way to simplify the implementation of the Nexus system. The overall score for each project was then calculated by adding the weighted scores, which provided a methodical and objective way to rank the 29 irrigation and hydroelectric dam projects. This study is the first study in Iraq about water-energy and food nexus and helping to streamline decision-making at the nexus due to the size of the several sectors in the Iraqi human society Following input from NWDS stakeholders, three new factors to take into account when deciding which irrigation project options to pursue were identified: a) Fighting poverty; b) Building irrigation projects close to Iraq's borders to ensure border security. 3) Rural Population Decline or Poverty Exodus. It's important to note that the nation places the highest priority on these three factors (Key Priorities National). Irrigation projects may now be planned in a deliberate manner that takes into account the observations of the relevant authorities thanks to the adoption of these aims together with the strategic assessment criteria. It takes scientific input to create "resource indexes".
Metal Oxide Coating On Biodegradable Magnesium Alloys

Published: April 2023

Magnesium is a biodegradable metal that has potential in orthopaedics. It has several advantages over other metallic materials because it is biocompatible and degradable now being used for biomedical applications, including elimination of stress shielding effects, enhancing degradation properties and enhancing biocompatibility concern in vivo, eliminating the second surgery for implant removal. Bioabsorbable magnesium (Mg) and related alloys have been limited in their usage because of its lower corrosion resistance. Surface alteration and functionality, in addition to basic alloying, is an important technique to deal with Mg and its alloys' reduced corrosion resistance. Magnesium's rapid depreciation however is a double-edged sword because it's critical to match bone renewal to material corrosion. As a result, calcium phosphate coatings have been proposed as a way to slow down corrosion. There are various possible calcium phosphate phases and their coating methods and can give a few distinct properties to various applications. Despite magnesium's lower melting point and greater reactivity, calcium phosphate coatings require precise settings to be effective. Because of their toxicity, non-biodegradability, and much higher cost, the recently used inorganic conversion coatings are less appealing and their application is limited. Conversion coatings are a viable alternative technology that is based on a cost- effective, environmentally friendly, and biodegradable organic component. Surface chelating functional groups in these compounds allow them to link with the magnesium/surface hydroxide layer while also providing anchoring groups for the polymer topcoat. Nanoreservoirs with multilayer inhibitors for active self-healing corrosion resistance thrive in this environment. This study examines the organic conversion coatings for Mg and its alloys in depth.

Researchers describe the extracellular manufacture of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from Phomatropica and its effectiveness against certain multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacteria that were obtained from the Central Laboratory of Quran Hospital. These bacteria were pathogenic. The AgNPs were synthesized and characterized by scan electrons microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-visiblespectrophotometer that established the mostly spherical nanoparticles synthesis with size range between 55-99 nm. The potential antimicrobial activity was reported vs (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Escherichia coli)by well diffusion method.AgNPs showed different inhibitory areas at different concentrations, the 50μg/mlconcentration of AgNPsappeared inhibition zones varied from(0-21 mm), while at 100 μg/mlofAgNPs varied between (13-25mm) vs the tested pathogenic bacterial strains in this investigation. Nevertheless, the synergetic impact of AgNPs with antibiotics have beendetected in the increasing the inhibitory impact vs the pathogenic bacteria. In conclusion, Extracellular biosynthesis appears to be a scalable and sustainable process. Because of their biogenic nature, these Ag-NPs might be a better medication candidate and have the potential to completely eliminate the issue of chemical agents.Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are proliferating at an alarming rate. To address this issue, the development of bactericidal agents is critical. AgNPs may provide a solution for drug-resistant bacteria.

In recent years, the field of deep learning has flourished, not only breaking through many difficult problems that are difficult to be solved by traditional algorithms but also bursting with greater vitality when combined with other fields. For example, product emotional design based on deep learning can integrate users' emotional needs into the actual product design. In this paper, we aim to use deep learning and affective technology in the creation of AR interactive picture books to transform the reading process from static to dynamic, enrich visual stimulation, and increase the fun and interactivity of reading. In this paper, based on the three-level theoretical model of emotion, the emotion labeling results are input to a deep neural network for learning, to establish an emotion-based recognition model for picture book images. The results show that the model can well analyze the emotion of images in AR picture books, and the accuracy of prediction is a big improvement compared with traditional machine recognition algorithms. The application of AR virtual implantation technology in interactive picture books on the market is often just a marketing gimmick while combining deep learning and emotional technology can better create diverse interactive picture books to meet children's emotional reading needs, enhance reading engagement, and stimulate children's creativity.

Precast columns in precast concrete structures with floor heights require connections that need confident, reliable, and cost-effective design and implementation methods that can speed up both processes. At the same time, still ensure adequate strength, stiffness, and ductility to the column behavior. Columns specifically have the main role in structures for transmitting vertical and horizontal loads due to seismic effects to the base to fulfill life safety requirements, but the existence of a connection in the column cannot ensure the required. This work aims to study the performance and efficiency of mechanical bolted column connections under the action of seismic loading. In this regard, a column connection used in the precast structure of the new Karbala Provincial Council (KPC) under seismic loading is used as the case study. This building was analyzed and then designed employing special mechanical bolted connections produced by Peikko’s products (Column-shoe & Anchor bolts). The analysis gave the exact forces at the connection location and the design using Peikko’s column connection performed well under all loading cases including the seismic case. The analysis and design lead to smaller column section selection since it takes into account the interaction of applied loads using special equations.

The EU’s CBAM Implications for Korea’s GVC Exports
Authors:   Korean Academy Of International Commerce, Inc., Yoo Jinhee
Published: April 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to measure the implications of the EU’s CBAM for Korea’s GVC exports, since Korea is ranked fifth in GVC participation and is the EU’s major trading partner.
Research design, data, and methodology: This paper uses data from the OECD’s “Carbon dioxide emissions embodied in international trade” (TECO2), the IEA-EDGAR CO2, and the OECD’s Trade in Value Added (TiVA). It also uses the total probability formula and Bayes’ theorem to analyze much of the statistical data.
Results: The world’s top 10 carbon emitters are China, the U.S.A., Russia, India, Japan, Germany, Canada, Korea, the U.K., and Iran, accounting for 66% of global CO2 emissions between 1990 and 2020. The top 10 CO2 emitters are also ranked highest by their share of GVC participation, with a 22.09% influence on CO2 emissions from GVC trade. China and the U.S.A. affect most of the countries they trade with, including Korea, when it comes to CO2 embodied in intermediate and final GVC goods.
Conclusions: China, the U.S.A., Japan, and India are the closest trading partners to Korea under the GVC structure. These four countries, as top CO2 emitters, are highly interconnected with other trading partners, which means damage from the EU CBAM can have ripple effects on their partners, especially Korea. Therefore, Korea needs to develop and apply carbonreducing technology to achieve export competitiveness in response to potential EU CBAM implications.
What has been written about burnout syndrome in prison officers?
Authors: Franco Idárraga Sandra Milena
Published: April 2023

Objectives: Working with prison inmates involves constant contact with a stigmatized population, in hostile conditions where the working environment facilitates burnout syndrome among prison workers. The objective of this study is to carry out a bibliographic review to find pioneering and current publications, recognize the authors specializing in the subject and identify the most common findings of their research. Material and method: The tree of science (ToS) reference search method was used, which applies an analysis of data networks to find the most relevant scientific articles on a specific topic, in this case burnout syndrome. This tool shows the results in the form of a tree, where the root is formed by the classic publications, the trunk for the ones that have shaped the subject and the leaves are the most recent articles. Results: We found 140 published documents. The ToS selected 92 articles. The studies contained in the three parts of the ToS were analyzed; some of the determining factors were related to organizational structure, participation in decision-making, satisfaction and commitment to work, and lack of service and programs to help with depression or other mental conditions. Discussion: Some factors related to the work that these workers do, combined with the organizational shortages present in prisons, impose stress that leads to burnout syndrome in these employees. To reduce the syndrome, structural changes are needed in the institutions, as well as the strengthening of personal and professional skills and the social integration of prison workers.
