Authors: Cavalcante Rangel Sousa , Furquim Késsio Guerreiro , Campos Neto Tiago Ferreira
Published: June 2024

Quirinópolis é uma cidade do interior do estado de Goiás que vem apresentando um crescimento populacional impulsionado pela implantação de indústrias sucroalcooleiras na região. Atualmente ela não dispõe de um planejamento urbano adequado que estimule o uso da bicicleta, sobretudo como meio de transporte. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a implantação de um sistema cicloviário na cidade. A partir de um levantamento de informações sobre a realidade urbana e requisitos normativos para implantação de infraestruturas cicloviárias, foi elaborada uma proposta de malha cicloviária com extensão de 9,05km, dividida em onze rotas. Em seguida, foram detalhados os perfis viários nos quais se identificaram os maiores desafios para futura implantação do sistema. Por fim, foi feita avaliação da proposta elaborada através de formulários online divulgados entre os moradores da cidade, o qual permitiu também demonstrar a carência da população por políticas urbanas voltadas para o uso da bicicleta. Observou-se, ao final, que comparado com capitais brasileiras a cidade de Quirinópolis ocuparia posição de destaque no ranking de quilômetro de ciclovia para cada 100 mil habitantes, caso fosse implantada toda a infraestrutura pensada neste estudo. Com tudo isso, o presente trabalho contribui para a criação de uma infraestrutura de mobilidade mais sustentável no município, além de servir como subsídio para outras políticas urbanas, sobretudo aquelas relacionadas ao crescimento da cidade. A partir disso, a malha cicloviária proposta poderá ser consolidada e ampliada, direcionando a expansão urbana para a priorização de infraestruturas destinadas não apenas aos modais motorizados, mas também àquelas voltadas para os ciclistas e pedestres.

Published: June 2024

Background: vitamin D deficiency has long been associated with decreased immune function and can lead to viral infections. Studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 infection. However, it is unclear whether treatment with vitamin D can reduce the associated risk of COVID-19 infection. Objective: the current meta-analysis aimed to determine whether vitamin D supplementation had a positive or negative impact on COVID-19 patients. Materials and methods: for this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched the following databases; CENTERAL, Medline (PubMed), Web of Science, EMBASE and Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB, for studies published till February 20, 2022, using key terms. Besides, reference lists of relevant studies were identified. We considered randomized trials (RCTs) and cohort studies as potentially eligible when patients were tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection and received vitamin D supplementation versus a placebo or standard-of-care control. We identified a total of 718 articles, of which 4 RCTs and 3 cohort studies which meet eligible criteria. The seven studies included in our meta-analysis involved 1238 subjects. We considered 7 outcomes to be measured in our meta-analysis which are duration of COVID-19 illness till recovery, need for O2 therapy, need for ICU admission, need for artificial ventilation, fatal prognosis, time to negative PCR and need for hospitalization. Results: vitamin D supplement decreased the period of hospital stay in SARS-CoV2 positive patients. There was no clear protective effect of vitamin D supplementation on the need for oxygen therapy. There was no reduction on need for ICU admission in SARS-CoV2 patients treated with vitamin D supplementation. There was a significant reduction on need for artificial ventilation in patients treated with vitamin D supplementation. Our meta-analysis showed that there is no reduction on fatal prognosis in patients treated with vitamin D supplementation. Only one RCT evaluated time to negative PCR; this study was conducted in India and showed that vitamin D supplementation helped to achieve SARS-CoV-2 RNA negativity in greater proportion of COVID-19 patients with vitamin D supplementation. Conclusion: administration of vitamin D after diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection reduces the period of hospital stay and also reduces the need for artificial ventilation.

The dopaminergic system plays a major role in consolidating the effects and dependence of abused substances. Unlike monogenic diseases, psychiatric disorders – including substance abuse and addiction – are multifactorial disorders in which genetic factors, with varying contributions to the phenotype, and environmental factors are involved. This study aimed to investigate the association between polymorphisms in genes involved in the dopaminergic signaling pathway and substance abuse, as well as to assess the prevalence of human anelloviruses. Individuals hospitalized for substance abuse (n = 15) and healthy subjects (n = 15) were recruited for the study. Blood samples were collected and used for isolating DNA and genotyping two polymorphisms in dopamine signaling genes (i.e., DRD2 TaqI A, DAT1 VNTR) using PCR-RFLP. Anelloviral DNA was detected using hemi-nested PCR. The distribution of polymorphisms did not differ from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the investigated groups. A slightly higher frequency of the A1 allele of DRD2 TaqI A polymorphism was found in the substance abuse group, consistent with literature. The DAT1 VNTR 12R allele associated with lower expression of DAT1 and slower dopamine reuptake at the synapse level, appears to be protective against this type of behavior. Additionally, anelloviral DNA was present in all study participants, in line with previous reports. DAT1 VNTR genotypes might be associated with substance abuse. However, replication of results in larger groups, study of other genes, environmental factors, and their interactions are important to obtain a broader understanding of this behavior.

Background: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality among children under one year old, in the context of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) of viral etiology. RSV belongs to the family Pneumoviridae, order Mononegavirales and is a filamentous enveloped virus in the genus Orthopneumovirus. Methods: We screened PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), ScienceDirect and Google Scholar clinical trials in different phases and several national and international guidelines on the subject of treatment and prevention of RSV infections, using specific keywords. Results: Several methods have been tried over time to achieve primary prophylaxis in the case of RSV. Longacting monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), active immunization of children and passive immunization of newborns through maternal immunization were among the tested methods. For the geriatric and immunocompromised patients, three approaches were used in the search for a vaccine: nucleic acids, subunits of the nucleic acids and other vectors to create a safe and efficient product. For the groups at risk, RSV immunization would be the most efficient form of prevention. As a result, understanding the viral structure and its interaction at the cellular level is critical. The virus can connect to a variety of receptors, demonstrating the complexity of the pathogenic process by which it expresses itself, CX3 chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1), annexin II and Toll-like receptors being among the most well-known. Conclusions: Although multiple vaccines are being tested in clinical trials for neonates, geriatric patients and patients with comorbidities, none is currently licensed. Palivizumab, a monoclonal antibody authorized in 1998, is now used for prophylaxis.
A Review of Research on Algorithms for Solving SAT Problems
Authors: Guo Mengyu
Published: June 2024

The SAT problem solving algorithms are an important research area in computer science aimed at solving the Boolean satisfiability problem. With the wide application of SAT problems in the fields of hardware design, automated planning, and artificial intelligence, researchers have proposed a variety of efficient solution algorithms. The classical algorithms include exhaustive search and backtracking search, but they are less efficient when dealing with large-scale problems. Heuristic search methods accelerate the search process by introducing randomization or evolutionary algorithms to improve the solution efficiency. Learning-based methods utilize learning and memorizing the explored search space or learning heuristic information to guide the search process. The CDCL algorithm, on the other hand, is an efficient conflict-driven learning algorithm that achieves impressive results by learning and applying conflict information to prune the search space. Parallel and distributed solving as well as quantum computing methods are hot research topics in recent years, which provide new ideas and technical support for solving large-scale problems. The research on algorithms for solving SAT problems continues to innovate, providing powerful tools and technical support for real-world problem solving.

Soft Foundation Treatment Based on Xiangjiaba Project Slag Yard
Authors: Zhang Yunhao
Published: June 2024

Foundation treatment is a crucial aspect of practical engineering. A stable foundation plays a vital role in enhancing building stability, ensuring structural durability, and minimizing environmental impact. However, dealing with soft foundations presents a challenging problem in foundation treatment. This paper aims to study common methods for treating soft foundations based on data analysis, exploring the fundamental mechanisms and advantages and disadvantages of various treatment methods. Simultaneously, the paper combines new methods for treating soft foundations in China, analyzing the practical treatment of the Xiangjiaba Project slag yard. The study identifies that, in practical engineering, the overall soft layers of the site are treated using the replacement method. Sections requiring treatment employ the block-stone replacement (squeeze consolidation) method, functioning as integral structural retaining walls. Additionally, due to the local precipitation reaching 1003.1 to 1305.6mm, drainage treatment is necessary for the site. By combining these three treatment methods, the study achieves the requirements for structural load-bearing capacity and stability while simultaneously achieving the effects of shortening construction time and saving costs. This research on soft foundation treatment is beneficial for providing insights into achieving the development goals of Western China.

Published: June 2024

With the improvement of people's living conditions and the advancement of urbanization, the transformation of old residential areas has attracted more and more social attention. The climate in different regions of china is very different, and the long-term ultra-low temperature and snow in the cold region are particularly serious to the damage of the buildings, which has also become the important and difficult point of the reconstruction project. In order to scientifically evaluate the implementation effect of the renovation project of the old residential area in cold region, a scientific post-evaluation index system is constructed by using the judgment matrix and membership degree analysis from five dimensions of safety benefit, comfort benefit, environmental benefit, economic benefit and social benefit. With the opinions of residents, government workers and relevant experts, a post-evaluation model based on AHP and grey clustering is constructed. The model will be applied to the residential renovation project of Harbin Keda community to verify the scientificness of the constructed index system and model, in order to provide suggestions and norms for the subsequent improvement of the residential area and the evaluation of similar projects in the future.

Authors: Bneni Mohamed Khalifa , Ashour Samir Hasuna
Published: June 2024

Over the last twenty years, many investigators are used finite element software, to validate and compare the FE results with their experimental research.  This work focused on the development of a numerical model implemented by the ANSYS 2022R2 software, to simulate the flexural behavior of the RC beam. Numerical models are tested under four-point bending.  To investigate the influence of reinforcement steel ratio and compressive strength of concrete on the flexural capacity of the model. The results indicated that the Finite Element model was able to predict the flexural behavior of the experimental test beam. Furthermore, the influence of different tensile reinforcement ratios has the most effect on the flexural behaviour of the FE models at maximum loads. While the change in concrete compressive strength has affected the flexural performance of the models. This influence shows slight increases in the first crack load and maximum loads of the models. Furthermore, cracking pattern behaviour at the final stage for numerical models showed a good agreement with experimental cracks behaviour.

Published: June 2024

The research was carried out with the aim of making it easier for companies to record and make depreciation reports on factory machines by utilizing existing information systems, to apply the service hours and production unit method in determining depreciation reports on factory machines in companies, to carry out analysis of depreciation data on factory machines in companies, to design and build a system for calculating depreciation of factory machines using the service hour method and the production unit method and to implement a comparison of the service hour method and the production unit method in the factory machine depreciation system. The problem faced by the company is that there is no application program for calculating depreciation on factory machines every month, so it takes quite a long time to determine the amount of depreciation on factory machines and the accumulated depreciation of factory machines every month and the reports obtained are less effective and less efficient. And in determining depreciation of processing factory machines, a special method has not been used to calculate depreciation of factory machines. The company still has many weaknesses, including recording errors, calculation errors, and also the process of making reports which takes a relatively long time.

Authors: Domagała-Zyśk Ewa
Published: June 2024

Learning a foreign language is a process in which not only the cognitive competencies possessed by the student, but also his social and emotional experiences and competencies play an important role. This is of particular importance with regard to students with special educational needs, who may experience numerous difficulties during the learning process and, consequently, negative emotions. The purpose of the text is to present the issue of the joy of learning English as a foreign language of deaf and hard of hearing people. The research was carried out in a group of 16 participants of the Langskills Summer School. Their results indicate a high positive involvement of deaf and hard of hearing people in the learning process, both in the context of the organization of the process, relationships with others and emotions experienced towards oneself. Conclusions of the study indicate the need for continued research into the process of learning a foreign language, including in the context of affective and relational factors especially among people with different educational and developmental needs.

Edukacja emocjonalna dzieci przedszkolnych i wczesnoszkolnych w perspektywie rozwijania inteligencji emocjonalnej
Authors: Lendzion Anna , Lendzion Marcin
Published: June 2024

The aim of the diagnostic survey was to seek an answer to the question: what characterises the emotional education of pre-school and early school children based on the concept of emotional intelligence in the light of the opinions and experiences of female students of preschool and early school pedagogy. The technique used in the presented research within the framework of the diagnostic survey method is a questionnaire under the title „Supporting emotional development of preschool and early school children”. Twenty-four female students of early childhood and pre-school pedagogy at the Academy of Applied Sciences in Biala Podlaska participated in the study conducted in May 2022. Students participating in the 301 diagnostic survey correctly defined the goals of emotional education, such as: the ability to accurately perceive one’s own emotions, the ability to empathise with and understand the experiences of another person, the ability to adequately express emotions, etc. The students surveyed mentioned a wide range of methods that could be used within the framework of emotional education, but most of them limited themselves to just pointing them out without any characterisation and without establishing links with this type of education. In justifying the importance of emotional education, the respondents were quite unanimous in pointing to issues such as the acquisition of emotional and social maturity, preparation for dealing with difficult situations, constructive psychosocial functioning in life, etc. Difficulties of the surveyed female students in giving examples of specific situations of effective emotional education of children and behaviours contrary to emotional education of children aged 3–9 years may indicate insufficient practical experience in this field or low reflexivity in analysis and interpretation of observed reactions and actions. Social skills training, assertiveness training, parenting skills training for parents and fairy tale therapy should be more widely included in the training process of female kindergarten teachers and early childhood education teachers.

Pancreatic cancer is a significant public health concern, with increasing incidence rates and limited treatment options. Recent studies have highlighted the role of the human microbiome, particularly the gut microbiota, in the development and progression of this disease. Microbial dysbiosis, characterized by alterations in the composition and function of the gut microbiota, has been implicated in pancreatic carcinogenesis through mechanisms involving chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and metabolic disturbances. Researchers have identified specific microbial signatures associated with pancreatic cancer, offering potential biomarkers for early detection and prognostication. By leveraging advanced sequencing and bioinformatics tools, scientists have delineated differences in the gut microbiota between pancreatic cancer patients and healthy individuals, providing insights into disease pathogenesis and potential diagnostic strategies. Moreover, the microbiome holds promise as a therapeutic target in pancreatic cancer treatment. Interventions aimed at modulating the microbiome, such as probiotics, prebiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation, have demonstrated potential in enhancing the efficacy of existing cancer therapies, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy. These approaches can influence immune responses, alter tumor microenvironments, and sensitize tumors to treatment, offering new avenues for improving patient outcomes and overcoming therapeutic resistance. Overall, understanding the complex interplay between the microbiome and pancreatic cancer is crucial for advancing our knowledge of disease mechanisms and identifying innovative therapeutic strategies. Here we report phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rDNA microbial sequences of the pancreatic cancer mice microbiome and corresponding age matched healthy mice microbiome. We successfully identified differentially abundant microbiota in pancreatic cancer.

Published: June 2024

COVID-19 raised a rapid progressing health problem. Iraq has taken drastic steps to combat the pandemic, including suspending all in-person educational activities. The consequent integration of e-learning into universities has issued student evaluation challenges. Electronic exams were implemented to evaluate medical college students.: A cross sectional study reviewed recorded marks of 275 fourth grade medical students in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology/ Mustansiriyha University in the form of a single best answer. In addition, their means were compared with the standards of the same students in three electronic exams that were performed at the time of the health ban.Analysis showed a mean mark for the attendance exam was 70.54±24.8 versus 91.51±17.35out of 100 marks for the electronic exam. The rate of achieving high grades in E exams was 79.3% versus 20.4% of students in electronic exams. The success rate in the electronic exam was 95.6%, whereas in the attendance exam, 82.9%.In view of the present health crisis, including integral E-learning and implementing attendance examinations may be the best possible choice. Still, the unacceptably high success rates with high-grade scales in electronic exams necessitate accurate assessment models to avoid this negative consequence.

Authors: Saad Saleh Amer Al-Hajj
Published: June 2024

The research aims, through the descriptive and photographic approach, to study climate migration and its impact on sustainable development in the regions of the Mountain and the West Coast. It has reached a number of results that can be summarized in the following points: 1- Climate change is no longer of interest to specialists in meteorology and geography, and as a result of its global impacts, it has become a matter of interest for many applied, social, political, and economic sciences, etc. 2- Climate migration is one of the most important aspects of the twenty-first century, as a result of the world's exposure to climate changes resulting from rising temperatures and global warming, which in turn has led to desertification and drought, increased natural disasters, decreased agricultural and animal production, and increased health, social and economic risks, and has become a threat to sustainable development in the Western Mountain region. 3- The clear impact of climate change on the inhabitants of the Western Mountain, as desertification, drought, water shortages, harsh climate, and thoughts of migration and departure towards the West Coast have spread. 4- As a result of climate change and climate migration, agricultural lands that constitute the natural resources of the Western Mountain region have been exposed to erosion and desertification. Olive, almond and fig trees that depend on seasonal rains and have been widespread in the Western Mountain region for several decades have also been damaged and neglected, which in turn negatively affects food security. 5- As a result of climate migration from mountainous areas to the Western Coast regions, many residential subdivisions have emerged and agricultural lands have been divided into small subdivisions, which in turn negatively affects sustainable development and the rights of future generations. 6- As a result of climate migration from mountainous areas to the Western Coast regions and the spread of random residential areas without planning and the exploitation and depletion of groundwater resources, which in turn affects water security. 7- Most of the inhabitants of the Western Mountain practice rain-fed agriculture that depends on seasonal rains, as well as raising sheep and camels in open desert pastures, which in turn has been affected by climate change and the exposure of lands to drought, and climate migration from the mountain to the coast, which negatively affects the future of these two activities and the culture of future generations.

Published: June 2024

This study examines the understanding and implementation of Pancasila values among 11th-grade students at SMA Bina Dharma using a qualitative approach and case study method. The research subjects, selected through purposive sampling, are 11th-grade students considered mature enough to comprehend Pancasila values. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using thematic analysis and triangulation to ensure validity. The results show that students' understanding tends to be theoretical and superficial, due to less interactive teaching methods and a lack of activities linking theory to real-world practice. It is necessary to integrate Pancasila values into the curriculum, employ more interactive teaching methods, and foster cooperation with families and communities to enhance the understanding and practice of Pancasila values in schools.

Published: June 2024

For the perturbative model of a plane gravitational wave on a flat background of Minkowski space-time, electromagnetic radiation from a charged cloud in the field of a gravitational wave, detected by a remote observer, was found. It is shown that the charge density in the cloud does not change, and the radiation is generated by currents induced by the gravitational wave. The angular distribution of the radiation is obtained. If the refractive index of the cloud medium is greater than unity, Cherenkov-type radiation is generated.
Для пертурбативной модели плоской гравитационной волны на плоском фоне пространства-времени Минковского найдено электромагнитное излучение заряженного облака в поле гравитационной волны, регистрируемое удаленным наблюдателем. Показано, что плотность заряда в облаке не меняется, а излучение генерируется токами, индуцированными гравитационной волной. Получено угловое распределение излучения. Показано, что если показатель преломления среды облака больше единицы, то генерируется излучение черенковского типа

Postpartum is a vulnerable period for women's health, and postpartum mental health issues, including postpartum depression, are growing concerns. Despite the increased awareness of mental health, several factors hinder women from seeking help for mental health concerns during the postpartum period. Hence, this qualitative study used the World Health Organization's Social Determinants of Health Framework to examine the structural and intermediary determinants that shape women's help-seeking behaviors regarding mental health during the postpartum period. A thematic analysis of interviews with 12 new mothers revealed that the structural determinants of help-seeking behaviors for postpartum mental health include employment status and working conditions as enablers and social perceptions of mental health, societal expectations of motherhood, and financial capabilities as barriers. This study also showed that intermediary determinants that enable help-seeking for postpartum mental health include effective communication, familiarity, informational support, perceptions of formal sources of help, and the severity of the situation. Conversely, hindrances include gaps in communication, inadequate emotional support, fear of being misunderstood, being gossiped about, and being a burden, belief in the responsibilities associated with motherhood, and belief in self-reliance. These findings can be used to develop initiatives to promote postpartum mental health.

La ocurrencia positiva que constituye el desarrollo científico de cualquier país, puede estar representada por diversos indicadores de medición, teniendo como uno de sus principales a los procesos formativos de investigadores desde la acción e influencia de los programas de posgrado de alta calidad. En el caso mexicano, se identificaron en 2022 un total de 722 programas de doctorado que a través de diversas políticas científicas se adhieren a procesos de evaluación y financiamiento provenientes del entonces Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACYT), renombrado como Consejo Nacional de Humanidades, Ciencias y Tecnologías (CONAHCYT), de los cuales, a través de un muestreo aleatorio estratificado permitió identificar 86 programas de posgrado de investigación (excluyendo programas profesionalizantes), mismos que fueron analizados de acuerdo a la caracterización de diversos rasgos de cultura científica y alfabetización científica en dos dimensiones generales: (1) la concentración científica (distribución geográfica nacional, institución ofertante, tipo de institución, programas académicos, área de conocimiento y nivel de acreditación del programa); y (2) la influencia en la formación de investigadores (requisitos de ingreso, perfil de ingreso, asignaturas relacionadas a la cultura científica y perfil de egreso). A partir de los resultados obtenidos a través de un método mixto, fue posible derivar un análisis nacional que identifica modelos conceptuales que definen la dimensión de cultura científica y alfabetización científica en la admisión, formación y egreso de capital humano a nivel de doctorado con enfoque a la investigación.
