Authors: Toshima Fumihito , Yoneda Norihide , Terada Kanako , Inoue Dai , Gabata Toshifumi
Published: November 2022

Evaluating the similarity between two entities such as primary and suspected metastatic lesions using quantitative dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) numbers may be useful. However, the criteria for the similarity between two entities based on DECT numbers remain unclear. We therefore considered the possibility that a similarity in DECT numbers within the same organ could provide suitable standards. Thus, we assumed that the variation in DECT numbers within a single organ is sufficiently minimal to be considered clinically equivalent. Therefore, the purpose of this preliminary study is to investigate the differences in DECT numbers within upper abdominal organs. This retrospective study included 30 patients with data from hepatic protocol DECT scans. DECT numbers of the following parameters were collected: (a, b) 70 and 40 keV CT values, (c) slope, (d) effective Z, and (e, f) iodine and water concentration. The agreement of DECT numbers obtained from two regions of interest in the same organ (liver, spleen, and kidney) were assessed using Bland–Altman analysis. The diagnostic ability of each DECT parameter to distinguish between the same or different organs was also assessed using receiver operating characteristic analysis. The 95% limits of agreement within the same organ exhibited the narrowest value range on delayed phase (DP) CT [(c) −11.2–8.3%, (d) −2.0–1.5%, (e) −11.3–8.4%, and (f) −0.59–0.62%]. The diagnostic ability was notably high when using differences in DECT numbers on portal venous (PVP) and DP images (the area under the curve of DP: 0.987–0.999 in (c)–(f)). Using the variability in DECT numbers in the same organ as a criterion for defining similarity may be helpful in making a differential diagnosis by comparing the DECT numbers of two entities.

Moringa oleifera Lam. contains numerous essential constituents found in all plant parts (leaves, pods, and seeds). From all its edible parts, the leaf represents an effective remedy with high potential for medicinal applications. Ecuador is part of the new promising cultivation areas for Moringa, and therefore our study is emphasized to determine the influence of soil nutrition, toxicity (excess), and deficiency, from three main areas of this country, correlated with its climatic characteristics, on the mineral components, bioactive compounds’ synthesis, and antioxidant capacity of Moringa. Different analyses were performed in soil and especially leaf samples for phytochemical content, antioxidant activity, calcium, protein, and vitamin C determination to identify the relationship between soil nutrients, abiotic conditions, and the therapeutic potential of this species cultivated in Ecuador. The obtained values using methods such as DPPH, FRAP, and ABTS showed a high antioxidant capacity of the leaves from the Coastal Ecuadorian region, related with total phenolic compounds’ content (through the Folin–Ciocalteu method) and flavonoids in samples, with results obtained under the positive influence of high soil nutrients such as Ca, Mg, Mn, and Fe. We can conclude that M. oleifera from the coastal area of Ecuador presents the right environmental and soil conditions to positively influence its mineral and phytochemical content, making it suitable for incorporation into foods and medicines to solve the nutritional and medical problems in Ecuador and worldwide.

Published: November 2022

We explore wormhole geometry in spiral galaxies under the third order Lovelock gravity. Using the cubic spline interpolation technique, we find the rotational velocity of test particles in the halo region of our spiral galaxy from observed values of radial distances and rotational velocities. Taking this value of the rotational velocity, we are able to show that it is possible to present a mathematical model regarding viable existence of wormholes in the galactic halo region of the Milky Way under the Lovelock gravity. A very important result that we obtain from the present investigation is that galactic wormhole in the halo region can exist with normal matter as well as exotic matter.
Ritonavir Blocks Hepatitis E Virus Internalization and Clears Hepatitis E Virus In Vitro with Ribavirin

Published: November 2022

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is increasingly recognized as the leading cause of acute hepatitis. Although HEV infections are mostly self-limiting, a chronic course can develop especially in those with immunocompromised state. Ribavirin is currently used to treat such patients. According to various reports on chronic HEV infections, a sustained virological response (SVR) was achieved in approximately 80% of patients receiving ribavirin monotherapy. To increase the SVR rate, drug combination might be a viable strategy, which we attempted in the current study. Ritonavir was identified in our previous drug screening while searching for candidate novel anti-HEV drugs. It demonstrated potent inhibition of HEV growth in cultured cells. In the present study, ritonavir blocked HEV internalization as shown through time-of-addition and immunofluorescence assays. Its combination with ribavirin significantly increased the efficiency of inhibiting HEV growth compared to that shown by ribavirin monotherapy, even in PLC/PRF/5 cells with robust HEV production, and resulted in viral clearance. Similar efficiency was seen for HEV genotypes 3 and 4, the main causes of chronic infection. The present findings provide insight concerning the advantage of combination therapy using drugs blocking different steps in the HEV life cycle (internalization and RNA replication) as a potential novel treatment strategy for chronic hepatitis E.

Published: November 2022

Asthma symptoms are often exacerbated by the common-cold-causing rhinovirus (RV). In this study, we characterized the temporal behavior of circulating exosomal microRNAs (ExoMiRNAs) in a longitudinal bi-phasic case-control study of mild asthmatics (n = 12) and matched non-atopic healthy controls (n = 12) inoculated with rhinovirus. We aimed to define clinical and immunologic characteristics associated with differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs. In total, 26 DE ExoMiRNAs, including hsa-let-7f-5p, hsa-let-7a-5p, hsa-miR-122-5p, hsa-miR-101-3p, and hsa-miR-126-3p, were identified between asthmatic and healthy subjects after inoculation with RV. Time series clustering identified a unique Cluster of Upregulated DE ExoMiRNAs with augmenting mean expression and a distinct Cluster of Downregulated DE ExoMiRNAs with mean expression decline in asthmatic subjects upon RV challenge. Notably, the Upregulated Cluster correlated with Th1 and interferon-induced cytokines/chemokines (IFN-γ and IFN-γ-inducible protein-10) and interleukin-10 (IL-10). Conversely, the Downregulated Cluster correlated with IL-13, a Th2 cytokine, pulmonary function measurements (FVC%, FEV1%, and PEF%), and inflammatory biomarkers (FeNO, eosinophil%, and neutrophil%). Key ExoMiRNA–target gene and anti-viral defense mechanisms of the Upregulated and Downregulated Clusters were identified by network and gene enrichment analyses. Our findings provide insight into the regulatory role of ExoMiRNAs in RV-induced asthma.
Integrating Hydrological Connectivity in a Process–Response Framework for Restoration and Monitoring Prioritisation of Floodplain Wetlands in the Ramganga Basin, India
Authors: Singh Manudeo , Sinha Rajiv
Published: November 2022

Floodplain wetlands are critical for sustaining various ecological and hydrological functions in a riverine environment. Severe anthropogenic alterations and human occupation of floodplains have threatened these wetlands in several parts of the world. A major handicap in designing sustainable restoration and monitoring strategies for these wetlands is the lack of scientific process-based understanding and information on the basin-scale controls of their degradation. Here, we offer a novel approach to integrate the connectivity of the wetlands with the surrounding landscape along with other attributes such as stream density, hydrometeorological parameters, and groundwater dynamics to explain their degradation and then to prioritise them for restoration and monitoring. We hypothesise that the best possible connectivity scenario for the existence of a wetland would be if (a) the wetland has a high connectivity with its upslope area, and (b) the wetland has a low connectivity with its downslope region. The first condition ensures the flow of water into the wetland and the second condition allows longer water residence time in the wetland. Accordingly, we define four connectivity-based wetland health scenarios—good, no impact, bad, and worst. We have implemented the proposed method in 3226 wetlands in the Ramganga Basin in north India. Further, we have applied specific selection criteria, such as distance from the nearest stream and stream density, to prioritise the wetlands for restoration and monitoring. We conclude that the connectivity analysis offers a quick process-based assessment of wetlands’ health status and serves as an important criterion to prioritise the wetlands for developing appropriate management strategies.

Published: November 2022

Sargassum beds ensure sustainable environmental, social, and economic benefits in the coastal areas around the world. They can provide shelter ground to different species of fish juveniles. To investigate these, we conducted field surveys in a peaking growth period of Sargassum horneri from May to June 2010 to evaluate them on Gouqi Island, Ma’an archipelago, China. The study indicated that the light attenuation rate inside the S. horneri beds was higher than that in the surrounding areas. The light attenuation rate was highest in Ganxie, the second highest in Huangshidong, and the lowest in Houtouwan. We found that the average length of Sebastiscus marmoratus corresponded to the average height of S. horneri. This study improves our understanding of the function of sheltering grounds provided by Sargassum beds. Additionally, this study is relevant to the development of the regulations and directives to ensure the sustainable exploitations and protection of wild seaweeds and the accompanying organisms resources.

Published: November 2022

Membrane fouling can cause severe flux drops and affect the quality of produced water, which is a major obstacle for membrane applications. Great efforts have been made to examine theoretical models and numerical simulations for fouling behavior and mechanisms in the past decades, but there is a lack of literature providing a systematic summary. This work aims to present a state-of-the-art review of the principles, applicability and advantages of fouling theoretical models (i.e., the concentration polarization, cake layer formation and blocking models), and numerical simulations (i.e., computational fluid dynamics, Monte Carlo simulation, and artificial neural networks) for fouling behavior and mechanisms. Through these models and simulations, the behaviors of foulant particles at the microscopic level are analyzed in detail from the perspective of force, energy, and particle trajectory during the fouling process. The concise summary of fouling modeling in this review gives guidelines for the selection and application of models to simulate the membrane fouling process accurately, and the optimization of the operation in membrane-based processes.

Published: November 2022

Although urea placed deep reduces nitrogen (N) loss and increases rice yield, its use is not expanding due to the lack of effective application methods. A study was carried out to determine how different urea application techniques affected the yield and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of transplanted Aman rice (cv. BRRI dhan46). The experiment was set up in a RCBD design with seven treatments: T1 (deep placement of urea briquettes (DPUB) by hand), T2 (DPUB by battery-powered applicator), T3 (deep placement of prilled urea (PU) briquettes by BRRI applicator), T4 (DPUB by injector applicator), T5 (DPUB by push-type applicator), T6 (broadcast application of PU), T7 (zero-N), and three replications. Findings showed that the NH4+-N concentration in field water peaked on day 3 and then rapidly fell as time passed, while the NO3−-N concentration in the water and soil was minimal. T1 reported the highest grain yield, total N content and uptake, whereas T7 had the lowest values. On T1, the apparent N recovery reached its highest level (73.5%). The NUE varied from 13.26% in T3 to 29.38% in T1. Based on this finding, deep placement of urea briquette by hand is recommended for increasing the yield and NUE of T. Aman rice.
Effects of Temperature and Food Concentration on the Population Recruitment of Acartia bifilosa (Copepoda, Calanoida): Implications for the Over-Summering Life History Strategy in Jiaozhou Bay
Authors: Zhang Zhan , Tao Zhencheng , Gao Xiaotong , Wang Lei , Sun Song
Published: November 2022

To obtain a clear understanding of the over-summering life history strategy of the dominant species A. bifilosa in the Jiaozhou Bay, the effects of high temperature and food concentration (represented by chlorophyll a, Chl a) simulating in situ summer conditions on the reproduction and post-embryonic development of A. bifilosa were studied. We found that the A. bifilosa population did not disappear from the seawater column in summer, and its abundance increased from June to July, and then sharply declined in August. Both temperature and food concentration had a significant influence on the reproduction of A. bifilosa. The results showed that 20 °C could not trigger the decline in population abundance and the resting egg strategy, and 28 °C was the upper threshold of A. bifilosa in the Jiaozhou Bay. Higher food concentration was essential for A. bifilosa to maintain population recruitment at a higher temperature. Nauplii could develop to adults in the higher-food-level treatments (10 and 15 μg/L Chl a). However, nauplii could not develop to copepodite at 28 °C with 5 μg/L Chl a. Neither temperature nor food concentration could induce resting eggs, and no resting eggs were detected in our study. A principal components analysis showed that temperature plays a more vital role than food concentration in determining the population recruitment of A. bifilosa. We suggest that A. bifilosa populations could sustain the high-temperature season independent of producing resting eggs in the Jiaozhou Bay, and implications for the over-summering life history strategy of A. bifilosa in the Jiaozhou Bay should be further discussed.

Published: November 2022

Aquatic macrophytes are generally recognized to influence fish–prey interactions. We assessed how fish consume particular foods, and how their foraging efficiency, trophic niche breadth, and niche overlap respond to gradients of macrophyte density and diversity. We sampled fish and macrophytes in 30 stands distributed over a 13.7 km stretch of the littoral zone of a river in Brazil. By generating generalized linear models, we showed that increasing macrophyte density (from 366 to 7066 g DW m−3) favored herbivory and fish foraging efficiency. Beta regressions showed that fish reduced their trophic niche breadth along the gradient of macrophyte density, while niche overlap increased until a certain extent of plant density when species started to segregate the niche more strongly. However, niche breadth responses varied according to the trophic guild considered, with omnivorous and herbivorous fish generally showing opposite responses. Macrophyte diversity was important for the preferred food items of the fish, with stomach contents shifting from higher plants, algae, and detritus to insects with increasing macrophyte diversity. Therefore, in addition to the presumable effects of macrophyte density on resource availability and prey encounter rates, our findings highlight the importance of maintaining diverse macrophyte stands for the conservation of fish diversity.
DNA-Based Tracers for the Characterization of Hydrogeological Systems—Recent Advances and New Frontiers
Authors: Zhang Yuran , Huang Tianming
Published: November 2022

Tracer technologies based on naturally occurring substances or intentionally introduced compounds have a broad spectrum of applications in hydrogeological research and subsurface resource management. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)-based tracers, with unlimited unique variations and exceptional specificity, could potentially map the complex intricacies of subsurface flow networks in greater detail than traditional tracer methods. Here, we review recent advances in DNA-based tracer research involving modern culture-independent (i.e., molecular) measurement techniques for subsurface/flowpath characterization purposes. The two broad categories of DNA-based tracers, i.e., synthetic and naturally occurring, are further classified into four specific types: “naked DNA”, “encapsulated DNA”, “barcoding microbial communities”, and “indicator microbial communities”. We summarize and compare the basic methodological workflows for each type of DNA-based tracer and provide an overview of research developments in the past two decades, covering both laboratory/field-scale experiments and data interpretation methods. Finally, we highlight remaining questions and challenges for each type of DNA-based tracer in terms of practicality. Future research directions are also identified, including the application of emerging DNA tracer methods to a wider range of geological formations. Fundamental characteristics of these novel tracers need to be better understood, and their applicability under a broader range of engineering scenarios requires further validation.

L’Écriture en mouvement, le mouvement de l’écriture : de Marcel Mauss et Pierre Bourdieu à Christian Dotremont
Authors: Dirkx Paul
Published: November 2022

According to Marcel Mauss, bodily practices are based on “ techniques of the body” which result from a learning process built upon the social legitimacy of the model. Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of “ incorporation” allows us to characterize this socialization as being a “ learning by body” of the social world, which shapes a practical sense in each social agent boosting his behaviour in harmony with the embodied social world. One may study literary writing as an incorporated practice with inseparably social and kinesic dimensions. The work of the Belgian writer Christian Dotremont is among those who inspire in depth this corpopoetical approach. His heterodox relationship with literary writing, resulting from a socialization marked by “ antinomic” tensions, has made his work a rehabilitation in action of the writer’s body, a body that had been erased by two centuries of typography and textocentrism.
Vérité littéraire et vérité scientifique
Authors: Nouvel Pascal
Published: November 2022

What is literary truth ? More specifically : is literary truth of the same kind as scientific truth or is it a different kind ? To answer this question, the work of Annie Ernaux is carefully examined. It is shown that this autobiographical work aims to restore the truth of the atmospheres encountered by its author more than the truth conceived as a matter of facts. These atmospheres form the background on which everything is revealed. From there, a difference is established between the truths that science deals with (defined as factual truths) and the truths that literature deals with (defined background truths). In this way, a new conception of the relationship between the two kinds of truth is proposed.
PROLIFERATION OR REGENERATION OF THE ENDOMETRIUM?
Authors: Khaskhachikh D. A. , Potapov V. O.
Published: November 2022

The article deals with the physiology of endometrial regeneration after its desquamation phase during the menstrual cycle in women, as well as an overview of studies of endometrial mesenchymal/stem cells as the main source of endometrial tissue regeneration. The processes that take place during the first phase of the menstrual cycle in their physiological essence are the processes of repair and regeneration, in contrast to proliferation, which is based on the regenerative neoplasm of tissues, which can be observed in various hyperplasias, and finally, cell proliferation is the basis of tumor growth of tissue. Regeneration of the endometrium occurs due to the division of stem paravasal cells. The unique properties of mesenchymal/stem cells, including high proliferative capacity, self-renewal, differentiation into mesodermal clones, secretion of angiogenic factors, and many other growthpromoting factors, make them useful candidates for cell therapy. Further studies of endometrial stem cells have great prospects for their effective use in practical medicine.
Miyazaki a través de Jameson: la alegoría en El Viaje de Chihiro
Authors: Naccarato Mauro Daniel
Published: November 2022

Argumento que la película japonesa El viaje de Chihiro del director Hayao Miyazaki es una alegoría nacional en términos de Jameson. Esto es así porque, en primer lugar, el destino individual de su protagonista representa una aporía entre nacionalismo y globalización; en segundo lugar, la alegoría es consciente y voluntaria; en tercer lugar, la forma de representación constituye una alteridad cultural frente a las formas occidentales; en cuarto lugar, porque la película es síntoma de una oposición entre cultura y Naturaleza. Realizo esta lectura inscribiéndome en el campo de los estudios culturales. Además, el modelo cuaternario de explicación alegórica al que suscribe Jameson me permite explicar qué sentido tiene que una película pensada para niños/as pueda tener estas características.

A mediados del 2021 emprendimos, junto con otrxs colegas, la tarea de organizar de manera virtual las primeras Jornadas Internacionales “Literatura, Artes, Revolución y Poder en América Latina”, en las cuales coincidimos muchxs de lxs que aquí escribimos. Dicha iniciativa pretendió ser un espacio colectivo de intercambio y reflexión acerca de las vinculaciones, muchas veces imprevistas e inagotables, entre el campo político y las producciones literarias y artísticas latinoamericanas. Un tema que desbordaba por completo las jornadas en sí, pero que intentamos, de alguna manera, puntualizar con la introducción del término “Revolución”. Al respecto entendíamos que, en el espacio latinoamericano, este signo lograba condensar una serie de problemas, narrativas y temporalidades en las cuales nos interesaba enfocarnos. Así fue que, de la mano de la palabra “Revolución”, en varios de los simposios sobrevino el nombre de Ernesto Che Guevara, como un signo que no solo se repetía con llamativa insistencia sino que exponía las concomitancias entre la literatura, el arte y lo político, de un modo potente y singular.

A breastfeeding program with the slogan "Love Babies, Give ASI" has been launched by the government. However, the coverage of ASI has not reached the national target. 80%. One of the causes of the failure of exclusive breastfeeding is due to the problem of adequacy of breast milk. Neck massage is believed to help expel breast milk. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of neck massage on increasing the amount of postpartum breast milk from the first day to the third day. This type of research is quantitative with the static group comparison research design. The sampling technique used is Systematic Propionate Random Sampling. The sample in this study was 52 and the sample per group was 26 respondents. The population members affected by the sample in PMB A are patients whose number is multiple of 2, and PMB B is multiple of 2. The results of the study of the effect of neck massage on increasing the amount of postpartum breast milk on the first to third day from the analysis of comparative data of the experimental group and the comparison group obtained p -value 0.000, meaning that neck massage is more effective than pectoralis major muscle massage in increasing breast milk production in postpartum mothers on the first to third day. Therefore, health workers, especially physiotherapists, make neck massage in breast care for postpartum mothers with complaints of breast milk not coming out and teach mothers and families how to massage the neck properly and correctly.

NORMATIVE AND LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS OF STANDARDIZATION OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF COMPUTER SCIENCE TEACHERS IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Pavlova N.
Published: November 2022

The regulatory and legislative documents outlining the procedures for the standardization of teacher professional training in higher education institutions were analyzed. Professional standard for the professions "Teacher of elementary classes of a general secondary education institution", "Teacher of a general secondary education institution", "Teacher of primary education" were considered; standard of professional preliminary education in the specialty 014.09 Secondary education (by subject specialties) of the field of knowledge 01 Education/Pedagogy of the educational and professional degree "professional junior bachelor" were analyzed; state standard of basic secondary education was reviewed. It was concluded that the identification of the standard with the parameters accepted as the state norm of the education determines the structure and content structure of the educational process, as well as the volume of the educational load, the level of professional training of the student and the qualification they obtained. Attention is drawn to the cooperation of employers and educational institutions as equal partners, who are endowed with the same degree of trust in the student of education, as an individual and as a future specialist. The value of the teacher's professional standard is revealed due to the general, special, subject competencies defined in it and the professional one highlighted in the list of special competencies, the content of which is determined by the subject field, job duties and functions of the specialist. The content of the teacher's professional competence is described through the typical professional tasks he solves. To achieve the goals of the research, the list of abilities and knowledge of the computer science on the basis of the professional standard of education, the standard of professional preliminary education, the standard of basic secondary education was composed. The lack of updated standards at the bachelor's and master's levels of specialty 014.09 Secondary education (CS) is outlined as an urgent problem. It was concluded that the procedures of standardization of education are complex, accordingly, the development of standards (by subject specializations) is ambiguous. The system-forming normative-legislative document is called the professional standard, which contains requirements for knowledge, skills, professionally significant qualities, and competences of a specialist and is the basis for the development and implementation of a number of other documents, in particular, education standards, on the basis of which, in turn, educational and professional programs are developed.
INCLUSIVE MUSIC EDUCATION: PERSPECTIVES AND PROBLEMS
Authors: Bovsunivska N.
Published: November 2022

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And – which is more – you'll be a Man, my son!"
("If" by Rudyard Kipling)
The article is devoted to the topic of introducing inclusive education in Ukrainian art institutions. The historical background of the genesis of the phenomenon of inclusion in society is presented, as well as a description of the state of art education during the Soviet totalitarianism. It is noted that inclusion in art is a synthesis of a number of components, among them relevant are: legislation (national and international), historical background, mental features, socio-cultural context. The content of inclusive education in art schools and specialized music schools operating at conservatories is also considered. Attention was drawn to the problems of implementing inclusion in such educational institutions, because just a few years ago, such a model of education with its equal opportunities and barrier-free access was not a priority and was not even considered. It is noted that the new paradigm in general (and, in particular, in art education) is a complex system of knowledge in pedagogy, medicine, psychology, which is necessary for the integration and adaptation of a special contingent of people into society.
One of the pedagogical art programs for working with children with disabilities in educational institutions, created by direct participants in the educational process – music teachers of one of the regional art schools, was presented. It is noted that the document approves the education system for children with special educational needs as vertical-horizontal (in fact, the usual simple Descartes coordinate system), because the level of the program takes into account the age qualification of the applicant (child) and is directly related to the psychophysical development of the applicant. The main provisions, goals and principles, directions of implementation of the "Concept of inclusive art education" are also outlined, which cover the entire spectrum of this paradigm in education.
The article highlights the non-institutional form of inclusion in art: festivals, creative competitions. It is noted that this form of entry of a child into society is no less important than the actual education in educational institutions.
The study uses empirical research methods: observation, synthesis, and analysis.
The paper concludes that the needs of society (including the humanization of education, Ukraine's attempts to join the European community), which required urgent solutions, created a situation in which professionally high-quality personnel of art educational institutions were psychologically unprepared to work with children with special educational needs. That is why the presented work indicates that the teaching staff prepared for specific working conditions is the primary link, the basis for further successful development of inclusion in art education.

Wajo Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, which is seen from the aspects of opportunities and challenges. To enact
such a purpose, a case study was used in this research. Participants involved were silk entrepreneurs in Wajo Regency,
South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data were garnered through three stages: 1) observation, 2) documentation, and
3) semi-structured in-depth interviews. Findings suggest that the silk weaving business as a cultural heritage continues
to grow and gives an identity to Wajo Regency as a city of silk and a centre for selling silk fabrics in Indonesia. This is
evidenced by a large number of silk weaving business units and the large number of workers absorbed, especially
women, who can contribute to regional income and economic growth. This finding is influenced by several factors that
provide opportunities, such as family economic education which continues to be passed down from generation to
generation, capital assistance from banks, gender equality for weavers, and the adaptability of silk entrepreneurs.
However, there are challenges in the sustainability of the silk weaving business in terms of limited local raw materials
and the use of the Gedogan traditional loom which is rarely used even though it is a typical loom in silk weaving and is
a cultural heritage in weaving. Based on the findings, the study suggests adaptive skills training for silk entrepreneurs
and making silk weaving as an educational tourbe.

For the purpose of the research on the acceptability of the dual model of education in higher education, 30 companies
from the textile sector were selected. The obtained results show that the respondents accept the dual model of education
in a large percentage, ranging from 80% to 83.33%. From the answers related to decision-making on accepting the dual
model of education in their companies, the respondents showed a positive attitude in the percentage ranging from
56.66% to 73.33%. A lower percentage of eligibility indicates that respondents will not make an immediate decision
without additional information. From the answers related to the large administration and the number of documents for
the inclusion of the company, the respondents believe that this administration is unnecessary. Only 13.33% of
respondents believe that the existing administrative conditions are not an obstacle to companies’ acceptance of dual
education

Involvement in agricultural circulation of unused and unproductive lands and the formation of a rational structure of land is possible only if the conditions necessary for the growth and development of crops are created. he latter is impossible without land reclamation, which is carried out in order to increase the productivity and sustainability of agriculture, ensure guaranteed agricultural production based on the conservation and increase of land fertility. The purpose of the research is to carry out agroecological typification of the lands of the reclaimed area. The object of research is the territory of the Kondratovsky rural settlement, located in the Perm municipal District of the Perm Kray. Agricultural land use is of great importance in providing the region’s population with vegetable products. The total research area was 5815.6 ha, including 2682.79 ha of reclaimed land. The site includes 43 fields, the area of which was 2173.1 ha. For soil mapping, a large-scale soil map on a scale of 1:10,000 of the Verkhnemulinsky state farm was used. Based on the raster soil map, 1010 soil cartographic units were identified. Marsh lowland, alluvial marsh, soddy-gley, soddy podzolized soils, as well as their reclaimed analogues, were distinguished. According to the granulometric composition, heavy soils (clay and heavy loamy) predominate. An agroecological typification of the lands of the reclaimed territory of the Kondratovsky rural settlement was carried out. Agroecological typification is based on spatial data characterizing the relief of the floodplain, the soil cover and the current boundaries of the agricultural use of the territory. The agroecological grouping of soils was performed using the Aggregation GIS-analysis function. On the reclaimed territory, one agroecological group has been identified—floodplain. Two agroecological land types have been identified: 1) elementary soil areas and patchiness of alluvial-meadow and alluvial-soddy soils; 2) complexes of alluvial meadow and alluvial-marsh and marsh lowland soils. The limiting factors and features of the use of these types of land have been established. To bring the research results to the administrations of a rural settlement, the Perm regions and land users, a Web-GIS application has been developed, access to which is organized through the GitHub platform.

Smartphones are one of the technologies that cannot be separated from the lives of consumers, such as those in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of word of mouth and product attributes on purchasing decisions through the brand image of Vivo smartphones. This research category is analytical descriptive using Path Analysis as an analytical technique. Respondents in this study were students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Pancasila University, Special Regular Class Class 2018-2020 with a total of 66 students. From the estimation results, it is found that consumer buying decisions on smartphones are influenced by word of mouth and product attributes received by consumers through the smartphone brand image. Based on the results obtained, brand image is directly influenced by word of mouth, product attributes, and purchasing decisions. Meanwhile, indirectly, word of mouth does not affect purchasing decisions through the Vivo smartphone brand image, because consumers trust consumer reviews of smartphone users more than the smartphone brand image. Meanwhile, Vivo smartphone product attributes indirectly influence purchasing decisions through brand image. Therefore, to be able to influence purchasing decisions, Vivo smartphones must maintain product quality in accordance with current consumer needs, especially among students.

Angle-insensitive Huygens’ metasurfaces of quadrupole modes
Authors: Xu Rongyang , Takahara Junichi
Published: November 2022

Metasurfaces have attracted widespread interest owing to their ability to control light at the nanoscale level. However, the optical response of dipole mode-based metasurfaces is sensitive to changes in the resonator period and the light incidence angle; thus, the device performance typically degrades in practical applications owing to the presence of non-normal incident light. Here, we study cross-shaped Mie resonators based on quadrupole modes, whose optical response is almost independent of the variations in period and incidence angle. Based on this property of quadrupole modes, we propose a Huygens’ metasurface with stable transmissivity at different incident angles.

Background: Obesity is one of the risk factors for severe clinical COVID-19. This is because these patients tend to have comorbidities such as metabolic disease and cardiovascular disease. Obesity may result in poor outcomes, such as prolonged hospital stays, higher incidence of ARDS and mortality. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between obesity and the outcome of confirmed COVID-19 patients.Methods: This was an analytical study with retrospective cohort design on COVID-19 patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU)of RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang. Data were taken from patients’ medical records between November 2021 and February 2022. The correlation between obesity with length of stay and patient mortality was analyzed using Chi-square test. Odds ratio was also assessed.Results: This study obtained that the characteristics of obese COVID-19 patients were mainly women (54.20%). The most dominant age group was 60-69 years (31.3%). About83.3% of obese patients were found to be clinically critical. Inflammatory markers such as procalcitonin, ferritin, IL-6 and d-dimer were not significantly associated with obesity. Diabetes mellitus was significantly related to the outcome of COVID-19 patients with obesity and without obesity (0.009%). Obesity was not correlated with hospital length of stay of COVID-19 patients, but was significantly associated with length of stay in the ICU [OR 3.67 (95% CI, 1.09-12.35)]. Obesity was significantly associated with mortality [OR 2.84 (95% CI, 1.12-7.18)] and length of conversion for COVID-19 patients in the ICU [OR 30.00 (95% CI, 2.85-31, 61)]. The expansion of adipose tissue both subcutaneously and viscerally which could be observed in obese patients can increase the proinflammatory, prothrombotic, and vasoconstrictive state that might affect the clinical deterioration of COVID-19 patients. This condition also manifests as insulin resistance, hypertension, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease and immunocompromised conditions which can generate high mortality rate.Conclusion: Obesity was found to be significantly associated with mortality, conversion time and length of stay for COVID-19 patients in the ICU.
