Published: August 2023

Health maintenance will be considered one of the major challenges for
effective livestock production in the next decades. The demand of the world for food
products from animals is estimated to increase by more than 70% by the end of 2050.
To meet the increasing demand, such advanced methods and techniques are required,
which have minimal effect on the environment. Over the last 10 years, the selection of
genomics has been presented in various major livestock species. This selection has
shown almost double the progress in genetics. Though, extra improvements in the field
of genetics are required. The information on genomics with increased complexity
(including epigenomic, genomic, microbiome data and transcriptomic) have been
combined with the advanced biotechnologies for the purpose of a cost-effective method
of collection and use, which will be then responsible for a most important contribution.
Such technologies on implementation will permit genetic gains in the traditional traits
of milk production along with low heritable traits, i.e., fertility and health.

Globally, livestock production is growing faster than any other sector and by
2025, livestock is predicted to become the most important part of the agricultural sector
in terms of its added value to the national economy. The use of biotechnology will lead
to a distinct shift in economic returns from livestock. 43% gross value of agricultural
production is currently held by livestock. If we speak about the role of livestock in
developed countries, then it holds more than 50% of total agricultural production. At
the same time, in the case of developing countries, this share reduces to almost 30%
due to a lack of biotechnology or not using enough modern sources. In most developing
countries, biotechnological applications relating to livestock need to be suitable for
animal owners who are resource-poor small-scale operators who own little or no land
and few animals. The rapid increase, in developing countries, of livestock population is
due to a rise in population growth, and a desire to change their lifestyle. Urbanization is
also a source of passive or active income for them.

The improvement of animal health can be achieved through variations in
local and regional conditions (e.g., altitude). In addition to biotic stress, abiotic stresses
include changes in the temperature, illnesses, pests, and enhancing biotic stress.
Effective farm animals must maintain fitness as one of their main responsibilities. As
the demand for animal protein, resistance to the previous drug, and the drive to reduce
antibiotic use in agriculture grow, this task will only become more difficult. The
susceptibility to all disorders may differ genetically, but the variation has not yet been
fully utilized. It is difficult and costly to measure this alteration in part because it is
difficult and expensive. Therefore, genomics can contribute to the refinement of animal
fitness. In this chapter, we will examine the concept of resistance, variation in
susceptibility, and elasticity, as well as provide examples, present a few of the most
recent developments in livestock and pigs, and briefly discuss the application of gene
enhancement to addressing disorder resistance. Ensure clients can select from
conventional meals, healthy choices (lean meats), dietary improvements, and food
raised using preferred farming practices (natural, without antibiotics).
Monitoring Animal Behavior and Control Using Wireless Sensor Technologies
Authors: Hamid Muhammad , Ahmad Hafiz Ishfaq
Published: August 2023

The constantly rising need for dairy productivity farm automation is a key
concern in today's world. A necessity for technology that would result in lower costs
and labor inputs while increasing agricultural output exists, and cattle health
monitoring should be given top attention to achieve this requirement. Remote
monitoring of animal behavior in the environment can aid in managing both the animal
and the animal's influence on the environment. Geographical positioning systems
(GPS) collars that record animal whereabouts with high temporal frequency enable
researchers to study animal behaviour and environmental interactions. This paper has
discussed how to track and control animals using wireless detector strategies. For a
long time, the only mode to track wildlife was to objectively check and notice the
program and habits of a beast and set a label on it, and optimism that eventually that
same beast would be recalled. But that’s not sufficient to study the performance of
animals. The study and nursing of animals have always been a subject of great
curiosity, but studying the behavior of animals is a tough task due to the problems of
shadowing and classifying their action. Currently, technology allows designing WSN,
making these tasks easier to carry out. Studying the conditioning of wild animals is
grueling due to the difficulties of shadowing and classifying their conduct. In this work,
we have discussed the behavioral and hierarchical wireless detector network mounted
in the demesne to collect information about beast behavior using a device enforced on
them. Tracking is one of the most effective ways; with minimum trouble and lower
charges, we get a detailed position or movements of similar animals through GPS on a
daily basis through computer data.

Published: August 2023

In this work we studied the auto-oscillation mode of structures based on magnetic tunnel junctions. During the experiment we studied how different values and orientation of the magnetic field affect the efficiency of the auto-oscillations regime for samples of various shapes. The auto-oscillation mode in samples was observed near the transition from one state of magnetization of the free layer to another. It was found that the maximum value of the power spectral density and its position relative to the frequency axis can be controlled by changing the magnitude and orientation of the external magnetic field. Keywords: Magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ), auto-oscillations, power spectral density, nanooscillator.

Published: August 2023

Polymorphic modification of iron oxide, known as ε-Fe2O3, exists only in the form of nanoparticles with characteristic sizes up to several tens of nanometers. Particles of these sizes exhibit a large coercive force, about 20 kOe at room temperature. In the temperature range of 80-150 K, a magnetic transition occurs in ε-Fe2O3, accompanied by a sharp decrease in the coercive force. At the same time, there are significant differences in the magnetic behavior of "large" (~20 nm) particles and ultra-small particles (up to 6 nm). A number of experimental facts indicate the manifestation of size effects that lead to a change in the magnetic structure in particles of these sizes. In addition, a surface effect is also manifested for such particles --- a significant contribution to the magnetic behavior is governed by surface magnetic anisotropy. In this paper, a brief review of the manifestation of these size and surface effects in the magnetic properties of ε-Fe2O3 nanoparticles is carried out. Keywords: iron oxide ε-Fe2O3, nanoparticles, size effect, surface magnetic anisotropy.

Published: August 2023

The possibility of frequency-selective propagation of spin waves in a magnonic microwave guide with a magnonic crystal consisting of two layers with different values of the saturation magnetization in the layers is demonstrated. It is shown that multimode propagation of spin waves can occur inside a two-layer structure in two frequency ranges, while the presence of a magnonic crystal on the surface of the structure leads to the manifestation of a band gap in one of the frequency ranges. At the same time, the process of propagation of a spin-wave signal is accompanied by a strong nonreciprocity, which manifests itself in a change in the amplitude-frequency characteristics when the direction of the external magnetic field is reversed, while the frequency range of the band gap differs depending on the direction of the field. The proposed concept of a two-layer spin-wave waveguide can underlie the manufacture of multichannel filters or magnonic logic devices. Keywords: magnonics, nonlinearity, nonlinear systems, multilayer systems, spin waves.

Luminescent hybrid spherical microresonators of two types consisting of monodisperse spherical silica particles with a diameter of 3.5 μm coated with either FITC dye molecules or a 200 nm thick mesoporous silica shell containing DCM dye are fabricated. The luminescence spectra of microresonators are studied and the experimental emission spectra are simulated using the method of spherical wave transfer matrices. The ratio of intensities of emission lines into whispering gallery modes with different polarizations and the same polar and radial indices is analyzed. It is shown that the ratio depends on the orientation of the dipole moment of the radiative transition of dye molecules relative to the surface of spherical silica particles. Keywords: spherical microresonator, whispering gallery modes, organic dyes, photoluminescence.

Published: August 2023

Parenting ideas and practices are highly influenced by culture. However, when parents move to another country, their parenting ideologies and practices are often questioned by their children and the larger society. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the concept of good parents and its origins from two generation Hmong parents. Twenty-one parents (9 first-generation and 12 second-generation) from a midwestern state in the United States (14 mothers and 7 fathers), ages ranging from 19 to 50 (mean=31.57, SD=8.29), participated in the study. Results show that good parents provide for their children’s basic needs, are involved in their children’s daily lives, communicate with their children without yelling, discipline their children with age-appropriate techniques, and teach their children to be responsible and independent. Additionally, we also found that parents learn about parenting from their family members instead of professionals. Suggestions for parent education and future studies are discussed.

Numerical Study of Critical Recirculation Ratio for Achieving Unconditional MILD Combustion
Authors: Cardona Sepúlveda Luis Fernando , Sanín-Villa Daniel
Published: August 2023

Moderate or Intense Low Oxygen Dilution (MILD) combustion is a regime in which fuels burn in a distributed reaction zone generating ultra-low emissions and no visible flame front. Also known as flameless combustion, it can be achieved by recirculating flue gases into the reaction zone. A recirculation factor based on the mass recirculated is used to characterize a flameless regime. However, the original definition of MILD is based on the temperature levels of a reactor. This work connects both criteria by introducing a parameter called recirculation ratio derived theoretically from a mass balance. The ratio was numerically calculated by simulating a network of perfectly stirred reactors and performing an energy balance using open-source software. This methodology was validated against experimental and simulated data from the literature. Simulations were carried out for methane, ethane, propane, and hydrogen under adiabatic conditions and equivalence ratios from 0.6 to 1. Results indicate that a critical recirculation ratio is required for establishing unconditional MILD combustion, which changes with fuel type and equivalence ratio. In all cases studied, the critical ratio diminishes as the equivalence ratio is reduced. Hydrogen and methane require the highest and lowest critical ratio, respectively. Results suggest that externally diluting hydrogen with carbon dioxide could potentially reduce recirculation requirements for MILD combustion.

Published: August 2023

Chalcopyrite CuInSe2 (CISe) and Cu(In, Ga)(S, Se)2 (CIGS) absorber layers, have emerged as promising alternatives in the solar cell field due to their unique properties such as power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) above 20 %, direct bandgap, and high absorption coefficient. This enables the making of high-quality PV devices with absorbers from 2 μm thick, significantly reducing the use of raw materials. Additionally, the CISe absorber layer is a desirable material for Perovskite/CIS tandem configuration with a narrow band gap at the bottom that has demonstrated PCEs close to 25 %, and potential applications in lightweight and/or flexible substrates. Recently, the addition of alkali elements such as sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium via post-deposition techniques (PDTs) has demonstrated an improvement in CIGS-based solar cells’ performance. In this study, 10, 20, and 30 nm thick layers of rubidium fluoride were post-deposited on CISe-films made by solution processing techniques and then selenized under a selenium-argon atmosphere to improve the CISe photoelectronic properties such as the number of charge carriers collected and grain growth, critical characteristics to ensure useful photovoltaic devices. Thus, the effect of rubidium fluorine on CISe-based solar cells was analyzed using several characterization techniques. According to the results, thin films made by an amine-thiol mixture with uniform atomic composition were obtained. The crystallinity and grain growth improved with an increase in rubidium fluoride addition. Moreover, with 10 nm of rubidium fluoride, an improvement in the lifetime of the charge carrier, photoluminescence intensity, and the number of carriers collected by the solar cells was obtained.

Authors: Parera Nanda Rosi
Published: August 2023

The objectives of this research were to describe the language learning strategies used by nursing academy students in learning English and to describe the classification of language learning strategies used by higher and lower score students in learning English. A questionnaire was used as the instrument for this research. The participants of this research were 57 students of the nursing academy (AKPER Bina Insani Sakti Sungai Penuh). The researcher used the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) by Oxford (1990) to determine the student’s language learning strategy. The result revealed that the students used all strategies (memory, cognitive, compensation, metacognitive, affective, and social), which were categorized as high and medium. The highest mean value was Metacognitive strategies (3.64). The higher scores of nursing academy students also used all six learning strategies, with the highest mean values referring to Metacognitive and Social strategies (4.10).

A experiência dos estudantes na Pandemia de COVID-19 e a categoria sociológica de Juventudes: entre o mal-estar coletivo e o "novo normal"
Authors: Cortilho Gabriel Cavallari
Published: August 2023

Com o fechamento das escolas, o ensino à distância e híbrido, a Pandemia de COVID-19 trouxe diversos impactos para a formação e a participação dos estudantes na esfera escolar, marcando diversas gerações e toda a população. Com a volta às aulas presenciais, tais impactos incidiram de formas distintas sobre as  classes, sobretudo entre as e os jovens estudantes da classe trabalhadora. Este artigo orienta-se pelas seguintes perguntas de pesquisa, a saber: quais alterações e mudanças ocorreram na participação e na formação das juventudes do Ensino Médio nesse período? Como a categoria sociológica de juventude pode nos auxiliar na compreensão desse fenômeno? O objetivo é compreender as experiências, a formação educativa e a participação   das atuais gerações das e dos jovens em um momento profundamente adverso, marcado por um mal-estar coletivo profundo. O referencial teórico-metodológico poderá ser utilizado como ferramenta de análise para a compreensão do cotidiano, bem como dos sentidos atribuídos pelos estudantes às suas experiências. Trata-se do início de uma pesquisa qualitativa, a partir de textos que se debruçaram sobre as relações entre Pandemia e Educação. Conclui-se que os desdobramentos da pandemia levaram ao mundo dos jovens o aparecimento do fenômeno “novo normal”, em que a competência socioemocional da resiliência, em detrimento da resistência social, foi privilegiada nas escolas.
Reforma do Ensino Médio e Teoria do Campital Humano: uma aproximação
Authors: Munarolo Ana Beatriz , Piovesana Gabriel Franco , Mendonça Samuel
Published: August 2023

O estudo analisa a Reforma do Ensino Médio, instituída no Brasil pela Lei n° 13.415 após a conversão da Medida Provisória n° 746 durante o governo de Michel Temer, e sua relação com a Teoria do Capital Humano. O artigo assume como ponto de partida uma revisão de literatura realizada na Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Portal de Periódicos da CAPES e na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) a partir dos descritores Reforma do Ensino Médio, Liberalismo e Capital Humano, associada à análise documental da Lei n° 13.415 em paralelo a pesquisas que angariam a perspectiva da sociedade brasileira sobre a reforma. Problematiza-se a submissão de documentos educacionais brasileiros a teorias econômicas. A hipótese é de que a Teoria do Capital Humano dialoga com a esfera educacional para obter resultados econômicos. O panorama histórico da Teoria do Capital Humano foi crucial na comunhão entre as ciências econômicas e o potencial produtivo reservado à educação. Os resultados evidenciam que a reforma educacional brasileira tem sido palco da aplicação infundada de princípios mercadológicos liberais, marcadamente a flexibilidade, a produtividade e a eficiência, repercutindo alterações em ambas as formações estudantil e docente.

Authors: Carvalho Antônio de , Ferraz Dalvani Magnavita , Mororó Leila Pio
Published: August 2023

O presente artigo apresenta uma discussão sobre a formação e a valorização docente no Brasil, no campo das políticas públicas educacionais, tendo como base a análise da legislação, da história e da produção de autores nacionais e internacionais que pesquisam sobre o tema. O texto problematiza as descontinuidades de políticas e a disputa de projetos na formação e na política de valorização de professores. A partir da análise, conclui que a política de formação e de valorização docente ainda é uma questão que precisa ser discutida e debatida no país e que é necessário compreender os desafios existentes, como a necessidade de um Sistema Nacional de Educação que possa reduzir a incidência de descontinuidade das políticas públicas de formação docente, bem como a revogação de leis que tentam adequar a educação e a formação a interesses de grupos empresariais ao invés dos interesses públicos nacionais.

Published: August 2023

This article aims to describe the cultural elements of Palestinian people in Radhwā ‘Āsyūr's novel, ath-Thanthūriyyah, which depicts Palestinian refugees' misery, Palestinian culture, and the struggle to defend Palestinian national identity as experienced by its main character, Ruqayyah. This study uses a literary anthropology perspective through the seven cultural elements defined by Koentjaraningrat. It employs a descriptive-qualitative approach with the data collected in the from words, phrases, sentences, and dialogues in the novel. According to the findings, there are seven elements of Palestinian culture, namely language, knowledge system, technology system, art, religious system, social organization, and livelihood system These cultural elements are presented as a form of resistance to cultural appropriation that happens because of the Israeli occupation.

Background: Accurate prediction of SARS-CoV-2 severity remains
a challenge. Torque Teno Virus (TTV), recognized as a surrogate marker
for cellular immunity in solid organ transplant recipients, holds
potential for assessing infection outcomes. Objectives: We
investigated whether quantifying TTV in nasopharyngeal samples upon
emergency ward (ED) admission could serve as an early predictor of
SARS-CoV-2 severity. Study design: Retrospective single-center
study in the ED of Saint-Louis Hospital in Paris, France. TTV DNA was
quantified in nasopharyngeal swab samples collected for SARS-CoV-2
testing. Results: Among 295 SARS-CoV-2 infected patients, 92
returned home, 160 were admitted to medical wards, and 43 to the
intensive care unit. Among 295 SARS-CoV-2 patients, 92 were discharged,
160 hospitalized, and 43 admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).
Elevated TTV loads were observed in ICU patients (Median: 3.02 log
copies/mL, interquartile range [IQR]: 2.215-3.825), exceeding those
in discharged (2.215, [0; 2.962]) or hospitalized patients (2.24,
[0; 3.29]) (p=0.006). Multivariate analysis identified diabetes,
obesity, hepatitis, fever, dyspnea, oxygen requirement, and TTV load as
predictors of ICU admission. A 2.91 log copies/mL TTV
threshold independently predicted ICU admission. Conclusion:
Nasopharyngeal TTV quantification in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients is
linked to the likelihood of ICU admission and might reflect respiratory
immunosuppression.
Robust Bounds on the Eigenvalues of Linear Systems with Delays and Their Applications
Authors: Verriest Erik
Published: August 2023

We review some known bounds for eigenvalues of matrices and use similar
techniques to derive bounds for nonlinear eigen problems and the
eigenvalues for LTI systems with delays as a special case. There are two
classes of results. The first are based on Hermitian decompositions, the
second on Gershgorin’s theorem. The bounds are easily computable. We
reflect on implications for stability theory, which may be contrasted
with bounds that have been obtained via Riccati stability based on
Lyapunov-Krasovskii theory.

Approximation Error Estimates by Noise-injected Neural Networks
Authors: AKIYAMA Keito
Published: August 2023

One-hidden-layer feedforward neural networks are described as functions
having many real-valued parameters. The larger the number of parameters
is, neural networks can approximate various functions (universal
approximation property). The essential optimal order of approximation
bounds is already derived in 1996. We focused on the numerical
experiment that indicates the neural networks whose parameters have
stochastic perturbations gain better performance than ordinary neural
networks, and explored the approimation property of neural networks with
stochastic perturbations. In this paper, we derived the quantitative
order of variance of stochastic perturbations to achieve the essential
approximation order.
Constitutive Internalization and Recycling of the Delta opioid Receptor

The complex and dynamic interplay between internalization, anterograde
transport, recycling and degradation determines the density of
functional G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) at the cell surface and,
consequently, the magnitude of their associated physiological responses.
As opposed to most members of the GPCR superfamily, the delta opioid
receptor (DOP) is only weakly expressed at the neuronal plasma membrane,
thus representing a critical limitation for its use as a therapeutic
target. Although DOP appears as a promising candidate for the
development of better-tolerated analgesics, the molecular and cellular
mechanisms underlying the regulation of its cell surface expression
remain poorly characterized. This work investigates the constitutive (
i.e. ligand-independent) trafficking of DOP, an understudied
cellular process potentially involved in the control of plasma
membrane-localized receptors. In HEK293 cells stably expressing
Flag-tagged DOP, we first confirmed that this GPCR is constitutively
internalized through a clathrin-dependent and b-arrestin-independent
mechanism. Immunofluorescence experiments with selected Rab protein
isoforms indicated that internalized DOP was mainly colocalized with the
early endosome marker Rab5, as well as the rapid recycling endosome
marker Rab4. Co-transfection with Rab5 dominant-negative mutant
inhibited the intracellular distribution of the receptor, indicating
that its constitutive endocytosis is Rab5-dependent. DOP cell surface
expression and ligand-induced signaling were also significantly reduced
following Rab4-specific DsiRNA treatments, suggesting a role for this
small GTPase in the regulation of DOP constitutive recycling. Mapping of
the major region of interaction between DOP and both Rabs revealed that
Rab4 binds the third intracellular loop of DOP, whereas Rab5 seems to
preferentially interact with the distal region of the C-terminal end of
DOP. Altogether, these results show for the first time that DOP
constitutive internalization and recycling are critical to maintain its
cell surface bioavailability and responsiveness to agonists.

Botrytis cinerea (Bc), a plant pathogenic fungus, causes
gray mold disease and rapidly develops resistance to fungicides in
cultivation areas. In this study, a gram-negative, soil-borne bacterial
colony was isolated and exposed to phenol vaporization for 2 days. The
colonies treated with phenol displayed restricted growth of Bc’s
spores. The highest antibiosis effect was further confirmed using agar
bioassays based on their ability to stably suppress pathogen growth. In
vitro assays with the colonies showed an 84% inhibition of pathogen
growth at 7 dpi using a one-layer agar diffusion test, and a 70%
inhibition using a double-layer agar diffusion test, compared to the
control plates. In vivo tests involving fruit inoculation,
bacterial suspension, and filtrate showed a significant suppression of
the pathogen’s mycelium growth at 11 and 14 dpi, compared to the control
group. The bacterial strain was identified as Serratia fonticola
(EBS19) through whole genome sequence analysis. Comparative genomic
analysis using the KEGG pathway database revealed genes encoding enzymes
that play a role in inhibiting pathogen growth by S. fonticola.
Additionally, BIOLOG analyses identified specific carbon sources
utilized by the bacterial strain. This information could be advantageous
for formulating an effective biopreparate composition, ensuring the
stability of the bacterial strain’s population. Computational studies
were conducted to model the interaction between the stress regulator
protein (BAG1) of the pathogen and the bacterial glycoside hydrolase
enzyme. The predictive modeling results could complement the unclear
property of bacterial glycoside hydrolase enzyme activity and its
inhibitory effect on the pathogen’s stress regulator protein.
