Distributed cognition in oral poetry improvisation: a semiosis-centered approach
Authors: Atã Pedro , Queiroz João
Published: March 2023

We propose a semiotic externalist approach that takes cognition as semiosis, gives central importance to the notion of temporal distribution, describes the elements of distributed cognitive systems (DCSs) as signs, and identifies the DCS itself as a system that enacts a sign. This is a semiosis-centered, and thus a non-agent-centered account of DCSs. In order to develop and illustrate our argument, we describe an example of DCS — the Brazilian verbo-musical improvisational tradition of repente — considering it first as embodiment of the formal structure of a cognitive task, and then as embodiment of a semiotic process. The latter corresponds to a semiotization of the description of repente sessions as DCSs, that focuses on how the DCS can embody a metasemiotic process, semiosis that supervenes on, and determines, distinct types of smaller-scale semiotic process.
Agreement attraction in grammatical sentences and the role of the task
Authors: Laurinavichyute Anna , von der Malsburg Titus
Published: March 2023

This study evaluates two broad classes of language processing accounts that make predictions for sentences like “The admirer of the singer(s) apparently thinks...”. Feature distortion accounts predict increased processing difficulty at the verb in sentences with a plural distractor noun (singers) while similarity-based interference accounts predict the opposite: increased difficulty in sentences with a singular distractor noun (singer). Neither of these effects was reliably observed in earlier research, and the Bayesian meta-analysis of 31 published studies reported here is almost perfectly inconclusive. An explanation may be that both effects occur simultaneously and therefore mask each other. To test this idea, we conducted three single-trial self-paced reading experiments (N1 = 4, 296, N2 = 3, 920, N3 = 3, 559) which orthogonally manipulated agreement attraction and inhibitory interference. Surprisingly, all three experiments produced evidence for agreement attraction but none for inhibitory interference, which supports feature distortion but not similarity-based interference accounts. Experiment 4 (N4 = 3, 535) tested the role of the expected task by preparing participants for a comprehension question (vs. acceptability judgment in Experiments 1–3). It showed neither agreement attraction nor inhibitory interference effects. Our findings demonstratethat agreement attraction effects can arise in grammatical sentences – contra earlier research – but also that these effects crucially depend on the task. This explains inconsistent results in prior research and supports feature distortion as the driving force behind attraction effects in grammatical sentences.

As social creatures, our relationships with other people have tremendous downstream impacts on health and wellbeing. However, we still know surprisingly little about how our social interactions regulate how we think and feel through life’s challenges. Getting help from other people to change how one thinks about emotional events – known as “social reappraisal” – can be more effective in down-regulating negative affect than reappraising on one’s own, but it is unknown whether this regulatory boost from social support persists when people face the same events alone in the future. In a pre-registered study of 120 young adults (N = 60 same-gender dyads, gender split sample) involving in-lab emotion regulation tasks and a follow-up task online approximately 1 day later, we found that participants responded less negatively to aversive images that were socially regulated (i.e., reappraised with the help of a friend) both immediately and over time, as compared to images that had been previously solo regulated (i.e., reappraised on one’s own) or not regulated (i.e., passively viewed). Interestingly, the regulatory boost from social support observed both in the lab and at follow-up was driven by women dyads. This work highlights one important mechanism explaining how support from others can facilitate emotional wellbeing: by changing peoples’ lasting impressions of distressing events, interactions with others can help prepare them to cope with future exposure to those events on their own, underscoring how valuable others’ perspectives can be when navigating ongoing emotional stressors.

Rubber dam application during routine clinical procedures enhance the dental treatment. Attitude and practice of rubber dam application among dental interns during clinical procedure plays an important role in providing quality treatment and avoiding medicolegal consequences. The aim of this study was to determine the attitude and practice of dental interns towards rubber dam use. A questionnaire-based study was conducted using pre-structured questionnaire among 138 dental interns of three different colleges affiliated to Kathmandu University of Kathmandu District. The results showed that 97.1% study participants believe rubber dam gives good isolation, moisture control and safety. Positive attitude was shown by 55.1% of intern toward rubber dam use during all procedures and 64.5% during root canal treatment. Of the total, 73.2% believed they lacked training and 92.2% were willing to take more training. Most of the interns (85.5%) believe rubber dam as helpful tool. In conclusion, majority of the interns believe rubber dam gives good isolation, moisture control and safety but their lack of rubber dam use in clinical practice could be due to insufficient training, patients’ objection and extra time needed for placement. To overcome this, more trainings, preclinical and clinical demonstration and mandatory use during all clinical posting should be done in dental colleges.

Published: March 2023

Knowledge regarding changes of proteoglycans (acid mucins) in human osteoarthritis (OA) meniscus may help in understanding development of meniscal degeneration. Therefore, present study was planned to know changes in acid mucins in human knee OA menisci by histochemical analysis of different parts of medial and lateral menisci of both legs. Medial and lateral OA menisci were collected from 110 human knee joints of both sexes. Normal meniscal tissue of sheep was taken as control and studied for histological stain with alcian blue pH 2.5, to find acid mucins changes in OA menisci. Data were analyzed by bivariate and one-way ANOVA using MS-Excel. Osteoarthritis is more common in females than males. OA changes were found to be more on right side in females and on left side in males, while OA was more common in both legs in number of cases in 60-69 years. Further, decreased staining intensity for acid mucins was observed in different parts of medial and lateral OA menisci of both legs than control meniscus. A significant change in level of acid mucin was observed at anterior, middle, and posterior parts of medial and lateral OA menisci of both legs (P-value=0.0306). Significant changes in acid mucins in human OA meniscus provide information on scientific evidence of OA progression, which could help health professionals in development of structure-modifying drugs for OA therapy.

Baking Soda as A Fixation of Remasol is an Effective Method for Colouring Batik to Be Combined eith Other Types of Colours
Authors: Karsam Karsam
Published: March 2023

Batik dyes are made from natural dyes and chemical dyes (rapid, indigosol, naptol, and remasol). Each batik dye requires a fixation material according to the type of colour used. Remasol colour (vinyl sulfone) is one type of reactive colour whose use is the most suitable to smear. Fixation of Remasol colour is using waterglass/sodium (Na2SiO3). Waterglass has a liquid nature, although it hardens easily after being exposed to the sun, it melts quickly when it contacts with water. Therefore, Remasol with waterglass fixation is not suitable when it is used with other colour combinations. For instance, it is combined with naptol. To produce a suitable combination, it is necessary to use baking soda [sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)] as a fixation of remasol. In this study, it is explained about the method of baking soda as a fixation of remasol as a baik dye combined with other types of colours. The result of this research is that baking soda as a fixation of remasol requires a ratio 1 : 1 (1 gram of baking soda : 1 gram of remasol). To produce a colour that matches the quidelines, after being applied, 72 hours of drying is required, after that it is blocked (covered with hot wax). This method can be used to colour batik with the dip dye technique which can be combined with naptol, rapid, and indigosol colours. The result of this study is expected to increase the number of colour variations in one sheet of cloth. For example, one sheet of cloth can use naptol, rapid, and indigosol. Because naptol, rapid, and indigosol have different colours, for example, naptol, rapid, and indigosol do not have turquoise blue. Turquoise only exists in remasol, and vise versa. The shortcoming in this research is that the experimental method carried out is still simple and has not used detailed laboratory test.

Published: March 2023

Madura Island has natural resource potential, one of which is the result of mining excavations, including class C. Bangkalan Regency has aggregates that could be used in concrete mixtures, including fine aggregate (sand) and coarse aggregate (gravel). The compressive strength of concrete using Bangkalan aggregate, on the other hand, is just 20 MPa, or the regular concrete category. High-quality concrete is one of the most frequently utilized building materials nowadays. Admixture is required to build high-strength concrete, particularly in Bangkalan Regency. In this research, a polymer admixture was used.The goal of this study was to determine the proportion of polymer additives used in the concrete mixture when fine aggregate from Lumajang, coarse aggregate 10/20 from Bangkalan, and coarse aggregate 5/10 from Pandaan were used to achieve a concrete compressive strength of 45 MPa.Based on the findings of research on the usage of polymer-type additives in concrete mixtures using fine aggregate from Lumajang, 10/20 coarse aggregate from Bangkalan, and 5/10 coarse aggregate from Pandaan, a concrete compressive strength of 0.95% Fc '45 Mpa was obtained from cement weight. At the design concrete quality of Fc '45 Mpa, the average compressive strength of concrete aged 28 days is 45.54 Mpa.

Evaluation of Bozem and Drainage Channels of Jade Hamlet Residential in Gresik
Authors: Caroline Jenny , Syafiarti Arintha Indah Dwi
Published: March 2023

Drainage refers to a vital component for water disposal so that a region or area can hinder potential puddle due to excessive water on the land surface. Therefore, a good plan adjusting the land condition of residential area belongs to a fundamental matter. Jade Hamlet Residence is located on Hulaan highway, Hulaan Urban Village, Menganti District, Gresik Regency, covering an area ±20 hectares and consisting of housing area, park, public facility, and catchment area. The drainage channel at this residence serves as the drainage for rain water and household dirty water disposal. During the rainy season in 2018 and 2019, the channel and bozem or drainage basin of this residence encountered overflowing and eventually caused puddle. To overcome this problem, the capacities of bozem and channel are in need of analysis and evaluation so as to figure out the runoff volume that can be accommodated in the bozem and investigate the discharge planned in the drainage channel by employing Log Person III method, chi-square distribution fit test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, rational formula, and exponential method. The results of analysis and evaluation demonstrated that the bozem capacity could not afford the runoff discharge (298.35 m3 309.55 m3), thereby demanding additional length and depth against the existing bozem. Meanwhile, the calculation of flood discharge planned for the drainage channels of S4.Ry3, S6.Ry1, S6.D1, S6.I2, S6.Cs1, S6.Rc1, S6.Rc2 indicate that they need redesigning by altering the channel dimension as the discharge capacity exceeds the channel.

Smart Camps: The Digital Revolution’s Dark Creation
Authors: Gibson Kyle
Published: March 2023

Within the history of penal systems, China represents a special case that initially adopted western penal models in the early 20th century but subsequently diverged onto a separate and unique path. Upon Mao Zedong’s victory in 1949 over the ruling Nationalist government, the focus on a western prison reform model shifted to one based on ideological purity and correct political thought, resulting in re-education camps known under the blanket term “laogai.” This change in penal practice occurred during the embryonic stages of the digital revolution, where humanity discovered ever more powerful methods of computation and data processing. The fixation on punishing incorrect thought led the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to adopt data collection and observation methodologies that could be easily digitized, allowing for exponential growth in oppressive systems. This comingling of laogai camp practices with computing power harnessed by the digital revolution has resulted in a new system of penal camps that is a stark break from traditional models. Using the PRC as a historical case study, this paper will explore the history of re-education camps, contextualizing the evolution towards the modern “smart camp” that is unique within the history of penology.

Published: March 2023

Unreasonable (Unjustified), excessive and uncontrolled use of antibiotics in the field of healthcare and agriculture sectors has become the main reason for the formation of antibiotic resistance (AR) and the spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms in the environment.

Every year the growth of AR is recorded in the world, which has become a challenge for humanity. The WHO (World Health Organization) has recognized the problem of AR as one of the 10 global threats to public health facing humanity, which causes about 700,000 deaths per year in the world, and endangers the possibility of achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular goal No. 3 " Ensuring healthy lifestyles and promoting well-being for everyone at all ages."

And it also causes(carries) significant socio-economic losses and unpredictable environmental consequences. The purpose of the research is to analyze modern data on the formation and spread of AR and modern approaches to solving the AR problem at the global level. By using a systematic approach, content analysis, bibliosemantics and scientometrics methods, analysis and generalization of data from modern scientific sources, statistics (statistical data) of leading international organizations involved(engaged) in monitoring AR and solving the problem of spreading AR were carried out.

This review demonstrates the relevance of the problem of resistance of microorganisms (problem of antimicrobial resistance) to antibiotics, the main mechanisms of the development and spread of AR, the global scope(scale) and consequences of AR, and aims to provide an insight into international initiatives to reduce AR, in particular the Concept of "One Health" (the "One Health" Concept) and the strategies that are currently being implemented.

Solving the AR problem requires a comprehensive (an integrated) approach, which includes mandatory systematic monitoring of the state of resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics, control of the use of antimicrobial drugs and educational programs to prevent the misuse of antibiotics, environmentally safe methods of waste disposal of medical, food and other industries that produce or use antibiotics, and their safe disposal, etc. In perspective (In the future), it is relevant to study the environmental consequences associated with the waste of(from) medical, food, and agricultural enterprises that produce or use antibiotics, and their safe disposal.
POLLEN QUALITY AND SELECTION OF POLLINATORS OF CULTIVARS OF COLUMNAR TYPE APPLE
Authors: Havryliuk O. , Kondratenko T. , Mazur B. , Petrenko D.
Published: March 2023

The apple tree (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a flowering tree whose productivity depends on successful cross-pollination. The efficiency of the pollination process significantly affects the quantity and quality of apple fruits. In addition to the basic requirements for fruit set and tree productivity, the presence of different pollen sources (different cultivars of the orchard) has a positive effect on fruit quality parameters. It is possible to make a profit from an apple orchard several years after planting, so the choice of cultivar is very important, because the economic feasibility of growing plants depends on it. The purpose of this study was to determine the viability of pollen of columnar apple cultivars and the selection of pollinator cultivar. The research was carried out during 2019–2022 at the V. L. Symyrenko Department of Horticulture of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. According to the results of the research, it was established that in the conditions of the Western Forest Steppe of Ukraine, the investigated columnar varieties form pollen of medium viability, pollen tubes reach a medium length, insufficient cross-fertility is observed, and the best pollinators for them are universal pollinators, Golden Gem’ and Professor Springer’ cultivars. In general, columnar fruit set is good from free pollination. Several conditions are necessary for satisfactory cross-pollination, namely: flowering of the pollinator cultivar must be simultaneous with the main cultivar; the pollinator cultivar must have pollen of high viability; the location of the pollinator cultivar should be near the fruit-bearing tree; the garden requires the presence of bees and other insects during flowering.
PHENOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE PHASES OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF CHEEPA VARIETIES

The yield of chickpea seeds depends on the biological characteristics of the variety and the cultivation technology. Increasing the effectiveness of the factors for the intensification of chickpea cultivation should be carried out on the basis of modern requirements. For the cultivation of chickpeas, the duration of the growing season is important, since the growth, development and formation of the harvest of this crop can last from 60 to 130 days. The duration of the growing season is influenced by the genetic characteristics of the variety, the soil and climatic conditions of the region, and the use of certain elements of growing technology. Studying the rates of growth and development of chickpea plants in ontogeny makes it possible to reveal the most important dependencies of the process of formation of high productivity of this crop. In the conditions of the Right Bank Forest-Steppe, the difference between the varieties in the time of interphase periods was insignificant and was 2–3 days, so the duration of the growing season in the Triumph variety was 97 days, and in the Rosanna variety - 100 days. In the intensive technology of growing chickpeas, the use of soil herbicides is a mandatory measure. Treatment of chickpea seeds with biological preparations before sowing and application of soil herbicides affected the growth and development phases of chickpea plants. The duration of the ripening phase of chickpea varieties depended on the treatment of seeds with biological preparations and the level of weediness of these areas. It was established that the duration of the growing season depends on the genetic characteristics of the variety and the elements of the growing technology. The duration of the growing season in the Triumph variety was 103-104 days and in the Rosanna variety - 105-106 days. Treatment of chickpea seeds with Rhizobophyt inoculant and biofungicidal drug Biopolicid and application of soil herbicide Frontier Optima, 72% er, at the rate of 1.2 l/ha helped to obtain the yield of chickpea seeds of the Triumf variety within 2.20 t/ha, which by 1.67 t/ha higher compared to the level of productivity on the weedy control. The yield of Razanna chickpea seeds was correspondingly higher and amounted to 2.28 t/ha, which is 1.73 t/ha more than in the control plots.

Authors: Bessonova V. , Ivanchenko O.
Published: March 2023

We studied the range of woody and shrubby plants in the park of urban-type settlement Petropavlivka, their taxing characteristics, phytosanitary state, and compliance with the ecological conditions of the area. We carried out an assessment of the floral design and the level of improvement of the park and garden object. The territory of the park is divided into zones – children’s, memorial, walking, zone of quiet rest and cultural events. There are no small architectural forms, there is practically no park and garden equipment. The flower decoration of the park is unsatisfactory. Rectangular-shaped flower beds are located in the middle of the alleys. Apart from flowering plants, they include Juniperus sabina and Rose garden gr. Floribunda. The range of flowering plants is represented by 7 species of perennials from 7 genera, with Iris hybrida and Viola reichenbachiana dominating.

523 specimens of woody and shrubby plants grow in the park, which belong to 23 species from 11 families. The share of coniferous species is 7.27% in relation to all plants of the park. The species diversity index is 7.72, which characterizes it as an object with an insufficient level of dendro diversity for the park. The dominant tree species in plantations is Robinia pseudoacacia, there are somewhat less Acer platanoides trees, Ligustrum vulgare dominates among shrubs. Five families (Aceraceae, Salicaceae, Oleaceae, Pinaceae, and Rosaceae) are represented by three species each; the rest are represented by 1–2 species. The most numerous families in terms of the number of specimens are Oleaceae, Fabaceae and Aceraceae. 10 introduced species grow in the park, which is 40.15% in terms of the percentage of specimens. Trees with a height of 10.0 to 12.0 m predominate among plantings of the park. Their share is 27.08% of the number of all trees. The groups of 8.1–10.0 and 12.1–14.0 m are represented by a smaller number – 19.05% each. Most often there are trees with a trunk diameter of 28.1–34 cm, which is 27.38% of the total number of trees in the park. Robinia pseudoacacia dominates in this group. There are fewer woody plants in the groups of 22.1–28 and 34.1–40 m, which is 17.56 and 20.24% respectively. Only 3 specimens have a trunk diameter of more than 52 cm. Populus balsamifera. The vast majority of trees in the park of urban-type settlement Petropavlivka (69.8%) are classified as “healthy”, 21.4% are with signs of damage. 8.2% of trees are severely damaged. Only about half of the park’s woody plants are able to endure a long drought without damage, while others require additional watering during the dry period. 54.29% of plantations are not demanding for soil fertility, 39.57% are megatrophs.

Height-diameter (h-d) relationships in forest stands are commonly used in various scientific and practical forestry applications. Accurate h-d models combined with tree stem volume equations are recognised to be effective in growing stock volume estimation. The purpose of the study was threefold: 1) development of a set of mathematical models of the h-d relationship in young and middle-aged forest stands for ten forest-forming species in Ukraine; 2) modelling stem volume in above mentioned forest stands; 3) comparison of established mathematical models with corresponding ones for premature, mature, and overmature forest stands. The study was based on permanent and temporal sample plots data (about 600) established in forest stands during 1950s-2020s within the most forested regions of Ukraine (Polissia, Forest-Steppe, Carpathians). In total, about 10,000 sample trees were measured on the sample plots to accurately estimate their stem volume outside bark. The h-d models demonstrated very similar relationships between stem heights and diameters for most of our species except for spruce and fir in mountain Carpathian forests where the steeper h-d curves were obtained. The study revealed that birch and hornbeam tree stems had the lowest volumes among surveyed species. The results also indicated that tree species tend to have higher volumes (up to 7% for coniferous, and up 10% for aspen and birch forests) in young and middle-aged forest sands than in older ones. For the other species, a statistically significant difference between stem volumes of trees of different ages was not observed. The developed mathematical models can complement the corresponding models for older groups of forest stands since they revealed an important aspect of relationships between the key tree stem parameters. These models are also applicable for a more precise stem volume estimation during thinning operations in the young and middle-aged forests in Ukraine

Directions, Forms And Assessment Of The Development Of Interregional Economic Relations
Authors: Pavlov Konstantin
Published: March 2023

The paper deals with various problems of socio-economic and environmental development of inter-regional interaction and mutual influence as an important and promising area of regional studies. This is especially true for assessing the economic interaction that exists between the border regions of different countries. The economy of border regions is currently one of the least studied aspects of the theory of regional economy. The development of the border economy and border ecology is especially important for large countries – for example, such as Russia, China, Kazakhstan, which also have a very long border. As you know, Russia borders on a large number of countries, both friendly at present (Belarus, China, etc.), and with states that currently have serious problems and disagreements with Russia, both political and economic (Ukraine, Baltic States).
One More Time about the Age of Teachers in Russian Universities: Old Problems and New Trends
Authors: Pugach V. F.
Published: March 2023

The paper presents results of analyzing age structure of Russian state universities teaching staff and its dynamics in the post-Soviet period. It is shown that due to the rapid decline after 2010 in the proportion of young people under 30 years of age and increasing share of population over 65 years of age, the imbalance is growing in favor of older people. Comparing average age of university professors and that of the employed population in dynamics shows some exceedance of the former. At the same time, for more than two decades their ratio stayed constant – the average age of teachers was 20 percent or about 8 years more than that of the employed population, which is caused, among other things, by a longer-term professional training. Analyzing age structure for various positions reveals its overall balance, with professors being the oldest in terms of average age, and assistants being the youngest.

The study found significant changes of a position structure, affecting primarily professors, whose share has increased several times, as well as assistants and teachers, who occupy two lower positions in the teaching staff. Their share has decreased even more. Insight into teaching staff age structure and osition structure in Russian universities shows that changes in age characteristic, especially shrinking young people population, are associated with job positions, especially with almost complete disappearance of the teaching staff on assistant and lecturer positions. A teaching staff distribution by position also shows that more than three-quarters of the total staff have positions no higher than associate professor. It means this position is actually a “glass ceiling” for teachers in Russian higher education. This fact and almost complete lack of assistants and lecturers result in a two-stage career ladder (senior lecturer – associate professor) for the vast majority of teaching staff in Russian universities, which will inevitably have a negative impact on the level of his qualifications.
Comparative Analysis of Entrepreneurial Competencies Development among University Students
Authors: Pesha A. V. , Shavrovskaya M. N. , Lapina T. A.
Published: March 2023

The article presents the results of an empirical study aimed at a comparative analysis of the level of students’ entrepreneurial competencies of various forms of education (full-time, parttime, correspondence courses forms). The sample included 564 students of Ural State University of Economics (Yekaterinburg) and Omsk State University named after F.M. Dostoevsky (Omsk) of non-core areas of training. Empirical data were collected using an online survey and the method of narrative essays. The data obtained were interpreted and processed using qualitative and quantitative analysis methods, including descriptive statistics, correlation analysis (Pearson correlation coefficient, R), one-factor analysis of variance, factor analysis and qualitative analysis of student histories. The conducted research makes it possible to assess the differences in the level of assessed competencies of students depending on the form of study, to determine the correlation of the presence of entrepreneurial intentions and assessments of students’ entrepreneurial competencies, as well as to analyze the attitude of students to the importance of the formation of entrepreneurial competencies at the university. As a result, statistically significant differences in the values of indicators of competence development by the factor of the education form by university students were revealed. Based on the data obtained on the research issues, the authors actualize the importance of attention to the development of entrepreneurial intentions and competencies of university students in non-core areas of training, including through the introduction of special disciplines into the curricula, which can become one of the predictors of the economic and social well-being of the country.
Shear stimulated red blood cell microparticles: Effect on clot structure, flow and fibrinolysis
Authors: Buerck James P. , Foster Kylie M. , Larson Preston R. , O’Rear Edgar A.
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND:

Microparticles (MPs) have activity in thrombus promotion and generation. Erythrocyte microparticles (ErMPs) have been reported to accelerate fibrinolysis in the absence of permeation. We hypothesized that shear induced ErMPs would affect fibrin structure of clots and change flow with implications for fibrinolysis.

OBJECTIVE:

To determine the effect of ErMPs on clot structure and fibrinolysis.

METHODS:

Plasma with elevated ErMPs was isolated from whole blood or from washed red blood cells (RBCs) resuspended in platelet free plasma (PFP) after high shear. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) provided size distribution of ErMPs from sheared samples and unsheared PFP controls. Clots were formed by recalcification for flow/lysis experiments and examined by confocal microscopy and SEM. Flow rates through clots and time-to-lysis were recorded. A cellular automata model showed the effect of ErMPs on fibrin polymerization and clot structure.

RESULTS:

Coverage of fibrin increased by 41% in clots formed from plasma of sheared RBCs in PFP over controls. Flow rate decreased by 46.7% under a pressure gradient of 10 mmHg/cm with reduction in time to lysis from 5.7 ± 0.7 min to 12.2 ± 1.1 min ( p < 0.01). Particle size of ErMPs from sheared samples (200 nm) was comparable to endogenous microparticles.

CONCLUSIONS:

ErMPs alter the fibrin network in a thrombus and affect hydraulic permeability resulting in decelerated delivery of fibrinolytic drugs.

Type-2 evolving fuzzy Kalman filter design based on unobservable spectral components space for interval tracking of non-stationary experimental data
Authors: Gomes Daiana , Serra Ginalber
Published: March 2023

In this paper, an interval type-2 evolving fuzzy Kalman filter is designed for processing of unobservable spectral components of uncertain experimental data. The adopted methodology consider the following steps: an initial model of the interval type-2 fuzzy Kalman filter, which is off-line identified from an initial window of the experimental data; the updating of antecedent proposition of interval type-2 fuzzy Kalman filter by using an interval type-2 formulation of evolving Takagi-Sugeno (eTS) clustering algorithm and the updating of consequent proposition by using a type-2 fuzzy formulation of Observer/Kalman Filter Identification (OKID) algorithm, taking into account the multivariable recursive Singular Spectral Analysis of the experimental data. The computational results for tracking the Mackey-Glass chaotic time series illustrate the efficiency of proposed methodology as compared to relevant approaches from literature, and the experimental results for tracking a 2DoF helicopter demonstrate its applicability.

Authors: Guzmán Carla , Muñoz Gloria , Araneda Paola , Arancibia Paulina , Gacitúa Felipe
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND:

Polyphenols are a group of compounds distributed in foods of plant origin and have been considered as effective protective agents against chronic diseases. To date, there are limited data on polyphenol intakes worldwide.

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of the present study was to describe the intake of polyphenols and their subclasses in Chile based on data extracted from the National Food Consumption Survey 2010 –2012 (ENCA).

METHODS:

A total of 3658 participants were selected from whom information on food consumption frequency, anthropometric, clinical, socioeconomic and lifestyle variables were available.

RESULTS:

The mean intake value of total polyphenols was 979.5 + 695.5 mg/day. A higher intake was observed in men than in women. In addition, among adults, there is a higher consumption in the South macrozone. An increase in the intake of total polyphenols was evidenced when the population belonged to the high socioeconomic stratum, and the most consumed types were flavonoids and phenolic acids.

CONCLUSION:

Due to the growing evidence that shows a protective effect of polyphenol consumption, it is necessary to carry out more research related to the consumption of these compounds, promoting the consumption of foods that provide them and thus contributing to improve the current epidemiological.

Published: March 2023

One of the ways that celebs maintain their fame in the modern era is by posting updates and photos to social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Comments left on their posts, however, expose them to cyberbullying. Cyberbullying, as a form of electronic device-based harassment, negatively impacts the lives of individuals. Thirty famous people from the fields of acting, art, music, politics, sports, and writing were chosen for this research. These notable figures include the top five Twitter followers of Turkey in each demographic. Between December 2019 and December 2020, comment responses for each celebrity were collated. Using the Deep Learning model, we were able to detect abuse content with an accuracy of 89%. Additionally, the percentage of celebrities exposed to cyberbullying by group was presented.
