My lovely forbidden rooms y Adrenalina bendita con mis pollos son los títulos de las exposiciones indivi- duales que presento de forma conjunta en la Sala de Exposiciones de la Facultad de Bellas Artes de Málaga y en el espacio ColumnaJM, las cuales recogen parte de mi producción entre 2013 y 2016. En ellas he trabajado con dos temáticas diferentes de las que me sirvo para revisitar la Historia de pintura: la ha- bitación (pintura de género) y la granja (pintura de paisaje). Estos proyectos quedan enlazados por una tratamiento tanto representacional como puramente pictórico que oscila entre lo irónico y lo agresivo, lo “pasteloso” y lo ácido, donde, por ejemplo, aparecen aspectos infantiles en un entorno lisérgico o se ha tra- tado lo doméstico desde un punto de vista casi bélico.

A few reports indicate the beneficial effects of organic acids and their salts on anti-infective immunity in fish species. In the role of immunostimulants, inorganic acids may prove to be a much cheaper alternative to their organic equivalents. However, no report has described the effect of using inorganic acid as a feed additive on fish immunity. This study is the first attempt to evaluate the effect of hydrochloric acid (HCl) as a fish feed supplement on cellular immunity in the stomachless fish, cypriniform vimba bream, Vimba vimba (L.). Two groups, three replicates each, of juvenile vimba were fed a commercial dry fish diet or its variant containing a 1.5% additive of HCl for 55 days. The experiment was conducted in a recirculating aquaculture system at 25°C. Mortality, growth, condition factor, feed conversion ratio, respiratory burst activity (RBA), potential killing activity (PKA), and the proliferative response of head kidney lymphocytes were determined for both groups at the end of the experiment and compared. The PKA was higher in the group fed the diet with HCl. For all other parameters studied, there were no significant differences between the experimental groups. The results of the current study prove that the dietary additive of inorganic hydrochloric acid can substantially improve immune response to bacterial infections in juvenile vimba bream.

Published: February 2024

Mass fish kills caused by wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) failure are uncommon. In this study, we analyzed the recovery of the fish community in the Czarna Hańcza River after a fish kill caused by a WWTP incident in Suwałki in 2018. The research focused on brown trout, the dominant fish species in this river. The incident lasted about six hours and accounted for 7% of the mean river’s flow during the accident. The fish population recovered quickly, and ten months after the fish kill, the number of fish species and their abundance were similar to the pre-incident state, but the species structure was different. In subsequent years, fish species richness decreased conspicuously, while their numbers remained at a high, relatively constant level. Species that are more resistant to difficult environmental conditions, such as white bream and European perch, returned to the river first. Concurrently with the improvement of environmental conditions, more demanding species, including brown trout, began to dominate in the river. Fulton’s condition factors decreased significantly as the river self-purified and the density of the brown trout population increased (P < 0.05). Our results indicated that the brown trout population was able to recover relatively quick, presumably because of stocking. Other species that were not stocked required more time to recover.
Length-weight relationships and condition factors of three freshwater fish species – Bangana dero (Ham.), Cyprinus carpio L., and Sperata seenghala (Sykes) – from the Sutlej River, India
Authors: Rana Anjali , Kaur Ravneet
Published: February 2024

Waterbodies are polluted by human activities or the increasing intensity of these activities, and this affects fish populations. The quality of the water fish inhabit directly impacts their growth and overall health. Length-weight relationships (LWRs) and relative condition factors (Kn) were estimated for three freshwater fish species from the Sutlej River of India from October 2020 to May 2022. A total of 232 fish specimens were caught with cast and gill nets in Gobindsagar Reservoir, Himachal Pradesh and Ropar Wetland, Punjab. Total length was strongly correlated with all the morphological characters (p < 0.001). The growth coefficients calculated (b) for Bangana dero, Cyprinus carpio, and Sperata seenghala were 2.858, 2.506, and 2.555, respectively, and indicated negative allometric growth. The correlation coefficients (r) indicated strong linear relationships between the weights and lengths of all three fish species. The outcomes of this study will help fisheries researchers, environmentalists, and scientists to develop future monitoring and conservation strategies for these fish species.
The Primacy Position of the Comparison Question
Authors: Monge Carlos
Published: February 2024

A simple question for many, idle for others, but necessary to answer for everyone, is why the comparison question occupies a first position based on the relevant question when it comes to format sequences corresponding to deception polygraph techniques. Th is questioning is transcendent when it occurs in the context of the scientific, legal debate, or due to the scrutiny of polygraph consumers who make administrative decisions based on the diagnostic results. However, within the polygraphy union it seems that the answer has been dealt with in informal settings, in hallway talks or as a classroom topic, but the truth is that its documentary formality seems to be scarce, for this reason, this discussion has the intention of providing basic knowledge to field examiners about this procedural unknown, of which, we are convinced that they are the ones who must be prepared to answer this and other procedural questions in order to maintain the scientific reputation of our profession.
The accompanying dialogue and the follow-up interview: the analysis of trans-interactional management
Authors: Hoffmannová Jana
Published: February 2024

The accompanying dialogue (realized while the participants are engaged in work activities together) provides very suitable material for the in-depth analysis of interaction and its relational, content, self-presentation and conative aspects, above all in the case of asymmetrical roles (superior – inferior). This contribution uses a video recording and a transcript of two collaborators in a violin workshop and, in addition, a follow-up interview, which forms an interesting complement to the original recording. Here it is possible to trace how, in the interview, the workshop leader tries to balance out the relational, content and conative aspects, weaken the expressions of his own superiority, mitigate the command-like tone of the communication, and to cooperate with his partner as much as possible; however, he himself labels these methods as “manipulation”. Methods of interactional linguistics were utilized in the analysis of both interviews. The theoretical framework for the empirical analysis consists of ego-linguistics as conceived by J. Dolník (emphasis on the egocentrism of the participants, their ego-motivation and ego-mobility) and language management theory with a focus on communicative (organized, trans-interactional) management.
The concept of inclusive communication style on the way to inclusive stylistics
Authors: Orgoňová Oľga
Published: February 2024

The contouring of inclusive stylistics as a new key concept of this discipline is inspired by panchronic continuity (especially) with rhetorical and stylistic considerations, as well as with considerations originating in the wider context of social sciences in the intersection of scientistic and antiscientist methodological frameworks. The inclusive style is a pillar of stylistics that aims to meet the communication needs of civil society of the 21st century. I integrate considerations on the way to inclusive stylistics (as a subset of interactional stylistics) in the spirit of the cognitive pluralism of the time (Gajda 2022, p. 8) as my contribution to the plurality of stylistic considerations in the name of unity in the diversity of the discipline. The attached text is an entry “shoot” to the team project of inclusive stylistics.

Published: February 2024

Water is one of the key ecological factors that has a great impact to development and productivity of lowland species such as Quercus robur. This paper deals with water regime influence to site conditions of these species and how actually changeable soil moisture affects Q. robur. Studied area includes a protective embankment built on the river bank in order to eliminate flooding effect, which means that all needs for water these associations provide from rainfalls and groundwater. Water regime was monitored during two critical years (extremely dry and extremely wet) on four soil types – Planosol, Fluvisol and Gleysol that belong to hydromorphic (three experimental plots) and Chernozem which belongs to automorphic soils (three experimental plots), respectively. It was studied the distribution of rainfalls and groundwater during the growing seasons and how it affects total and available water amount in the soil. The main focus should be given to available water, because it is located in capillary pores and plants can utilize it. Bearing in mind rainfalls makes just 15–20% of the total water amount in the soil it is much more significant to evaluate its proportion in available water. Based on obtained results, we can deduce that much more suitable site conditions for Q. robur are present on hydromorphic soils due to much greater proportion of groundwater.
Spectral analysis of oscillatory wind wave parameters in fetch-limited deep-water conditions at a small reservoir and their prediction: Case Study of the Hulín Reservoir in the Czech Republic
Authors: Kotaška Stanislav , Duchan David , Pelikán Petr , Špano Miroslav
Published: February 2024

The dams and banks of small water reservoirs face significant erosion from wind-generated oscillatory waves. Proper design of structure height is crucial to protect such banks against erosion, considering the maximum characteristics of wind waves. Long-term measurements at the Hulín reservoir revealed that the wave spectrum aligns best with the Bretschneider type. This spectrum serves as a basis for simulating oscillatory waves and their impact on shore protection structure design. Empirical models were evaluated using wind and wave data from Hulín reservoir in the Czech Republic. The measured wind speeds attained a maximum of 8 m/s, and wave heights reached up to 15 cm. The Bretschneider (SMB) empirical formula provided the most accurate estimation of wave height (H
m
0), with an average underestimate of RMSE = 0.038 m. On the other hand, Wilson revisited (WIL rev.) performed less effectively, with an average RMSE = 0.304 m. For wave period (T) estimation, Bretschneider (SMB) yielded the best results, with an average RMSE = 0.062 s. Conversely, Wilson revisited (WIL rev.) showed poorer performance, with an average underestimate of RMSE = 2.196 s. The discrepancy between the empirical formulas and measured values, particularly in underestimating H
m
0, can be attributed to inaccurate determination of fetch length and wind speed.
Uncertainty analysis of discharge coefficient predicted for rectangular side weir using machine learning methods
Authors: Seyedian Seyed Morteza , Kisi Ozgur
Published: February 2024

The present study used three machine learning models, including Least Square Support Vector Regression (LSSVR) and two non-parametric models, namely, Quantile Regression Forest (QRF) and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), to quantify uncertainty and precisely predict the side weir discharge coefficient (Cd) in rectangular channels. So, 15 input structures were examined to develop the models. The results revealed that the machine learning models used in the study offered better accuracy compared to the classical equations. While the LSSVR and QRF models provided a good prediction performance, the GPR slightly outperformed them. The best input structure that was developed included all four dimensionless parameters. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to identify the effective parameters. To evaluate the uncertainty in the predictions, the LSSVR, QRF, and GPR were used to generate prediction intervals (PI), which quantify the uncertainty coupled with point prediction. Among the implemented models, the GPR and LSSVR models provided more reliable results based on PI width and the percentage of observed data covered by PI. According to point prediction and uncertainty analysis, it was concluded that the GPR model had a lower uncertainty and could be successfully used to predict Cd.

Authors: Cuilan Jhordan T.
Published: February 2024

The study generally determined the literary conventions in contemporary Ibaloi ba’diw as a genre. It aimed to draw the figurative language and theme reflected in the ba’diw text; and, classify valuable insights contained by the select ba’diw pieces by occasion. It employed a qualitative approach to research specifically the text analysis method highlighting formalistic and sociolinguistic approaches in literary criticism. The pieces were found to be replete with the following figurative language: character, symbolism, connotation, repetition, personification, apostrophe, and family-name wording. Themes considered the occasion where these are chanted. Alongside these are valuable insights on “adivay” or social gathering, high regard for elders and the spirit of the dead, sacredness of marriage and family life, and the group’s daily activities. It is recommended that audio-visual documentation on the ba’diw may be designed purposely for information, persuasion, and entertainment; studies to determine the foreign influence on Ibaloi ba’diw in pursuit of discovering the Ibaloi poetics may be conducted; a center on Ibaloi language may be established; and, further research like ways of documenting oral literature, in general, may be further explored.

Published: February 2024

Managing dyslipidemia is a crucial approach to reducing the likelihood of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The Food and Drug Administration has approved Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors for the treatment of dyslipidemia. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the latest information on developing medicines that target PCSK9 to decrease cholesterol levels. PCSK9 attaches to the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, leading to the receptor\'s breakdown in the lysosome. Individuals with gain-of-function mutations in PCSK9 exhibit reduced expression of LDL receptors on the surface of hepatocytes, leading to elevated levels of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C). Conversely, mutations that cause PCSK9 to lose its activity are linked to reduced levels of LDL-C and a notably decreased lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease.Monoclonal antibodies that target PCSK9, such as evolocumab and alirocumab, were created and found to significantly decrease LDL-C by as much as 60% in various populations, whether used alone or in conjunction with statins. These findings have expanded the range of pharmaceutical methods available for managing the remaining cardiovascular risk associated with LDL-C. PCSK9 antibodies exhibit a low risk of adverse effects. Emerging strategies for blocking PCSK9 show great potential. Novel PCSK9 inhibitors have been researched and are being implemented for therapeutic applications. Additional clinical trials are necessary to yield valuable data regarding the effectiveness of these substances and their function in the treatment of dyslipidemia.

Published: February 2024

Fruits classification is demanded in some fields, such as industrial agriculture. Automatic fruit classification from their digital image plays a vital role in those fields. The classification encounters several challenges due to capturing fruits’ images from different viewing angle, rotation, and illumination pose. In this paper a framework for recognition and classification of fruits from their images have been proposed depending on texture features, the proposed system rely on three phases; firstly, pre-processing, as images need to be resized, filtered, color convert,  and threshold in order to create a fruit mask which is used for fruit’s region of interest segmentation; followed by two methods for texture features extraction, first method utilize Local Binary Pattern (LBP), while the second method uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to generate features vector for each fruit image. Classification is the last phase; two supervised machine learning algorithms; K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) are utilized to identity and recognize the fruits images classes. Both methods are tested using 1200 fruits images, from 12 classes acquired from Fruits-360 database. The results show that combining LBP with K-NN, and SVM yields the best accuracy up to 100% and 89.44% respectively, while the accuracy of applying PCA with K-NN and SVM reached to 86.38 % and 85.83% respectively.

Abstract
 
Gender estimation based on fingerprints is often required to identify unidentified corpses before being confirmed by DNA testing. For this purpose, fingerprints of the body are taken digitally and subsequently identified. The difficulty in digital fingerprint examination is determining reliable features unaffected by translation or rotation. In addition, some preprocessing is required on the dataset to obtain high accuracy. This study aims to estimate gender based on fingerprints using wavelet transform and Support Vector Machines (SVM). The features are the  Energy values generated by the Haar wavelet transform of six-level. The features are then used as training data for the SVM to be classified. This study used datasets from NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), as many as 1000 samples consisting of 500 male fingerprints and 500 female fingerprints. Based on the experiments' results, this method produces an accuracy of up to 70.3% with a TPR (True Positive Rate) of 80.6% for female fingerprints and 60.0% for male fingerprints. This method shows a fast computational time because it does not require preprocessing; the computation is simple and with a small amount of sample data.

This study determines the effectiveness of using JSON format, the bandwidth saved for distributing data on the Internet from Zlib data compression and Base64 encoding, and analyzes additional memory usage due to compression and the impact of data simplification through a visual approach on transport network graphs with the Douglas-Peucker algorithm. This study suggested that the use of JSON format is effective as a communication medium, and the use of data compression allows clients to save bandwidth usage by up to 64.61% with an additional 0.44% of memory load for data compression. Additionally, visually simplifying the graph data improved the system's performance; it reduced the average processing time to recommend transportation routes by 81.24% and reduced memory usage by up to 72.99%.

The objective of this article is to address the historical contextualisation of rural tourism in Mexico, within the framework of socio-structural change and its territorial manifestations. Analysis was applied from the theoretical-methodological perspective of problem-history posed by Erik Hobsbawm, who focuses his analytical interest on the history of structures and transformations in societies and cultures. It was concluded that, although several authors have made historical traceability on the deployment of public policies in Mexico, which impacted on agrarian and tourism issues, it is still necessary to focus on the communities where these interventions took place and account for the changes and modifications that have been generated as a result of the new economic dynamics inserted in the territory, which gave rise to the so-called New Ruralities.

Covid‑19 pandemic has been a multi‑dimensional challenge for tourism industry globally for more than 15 months now, but even so, there is a lack of information about the impacts of pandemic on different destinations and tourism enterprises. To contribute to the scientific endeavors to understand, explain, and explore the impacts of this disease on tourism, this research investigates the impacts of the pandemic on local small and medium tourism enterprises (SMTEs) in Cappadocia Region, a globally well‑known Heritage Tourism destination in Turkey, and their survival strategies. Primary data was collected through structured interviews conducted with 97 respondents from two participant groups including respondents from small and medium accommodation facilities and tourism enterprises including auxiliary tourism services. We found that heritage tourism destinations and SMTEs located in these destinations seem to be much vulnerable to the impacts of Covid‑19 owing to destination characteristics. Findings show that great majority of the SMTEs has established solidarity based new business relations for survival but they also have spent their resources for future growth and investment which seem to jeopardize the recovery efforts

"Over the last few years, tourism and leisure have been phenomena associated with the use of free time and, therefore, are commonly approached jointly. However, when it comes to visiting tourism and leisure in municipal natural parks, there are several possibilities of analysis, one of which is from the perspective of the theory of restrictions. The objective of this study on tourism is to analyse the restrictions on visits to the Amazon Tourism Pole, in Presidente Figueiredo (AM), from the perspective of residents and non‑residents. The research techniques used were descriptive and quantitative analysis carried out with the population of visitors to the Natural Parks in the Municipalities Galo da Serra, Orquídeas and Urubuí, with a non‑probability of 400 respondents. An analysis of samples plus application of the t test of non‑independent variables were made based on Veal (2011), describing perceived restrictions on the visit and the intention of a new visit. The results are that there are restrictions overcome on the visit, such as: lack of skill, interest, company, money, security and legal permission. That said, management recommendations are made. "

In the modern era, information technology continues to develop in line with human needs who want efficiency, ease, speed and accuracy in obtaining information and sending information. Moreover, in an office building, facilities for accessing information require a fast and efficient internet network as facilities and infrastructure to support office activities. In general, Mikrotik routers are widely used in office buildings as a means of distributing the internet. With the use of a mikrotik router that requires a lot of design and simulation first to get good internet performance GNS3 can design a topology that will be used in 2 ways, namely using Qemu and Virtual Box. Both of these methods have their respective advantages over the design process and test results

In this time electrical energy is one of the most energy used. In industry electrical energy becomes a necessity that cannot be separated from the production process. Due to the need for electrical energy sources, of course, a protection system is needed to maintain the continuity and stability of electrical energy from existing disturbances such as short circuit disturbances. To overcome the short circuit, OCR is used. To assist the process of calculating loadflow and short-circuit current, ETAP12.6 is used. The results of the analysis of the ETAP 12.6 will be compared with the data obtained in the field with the aim of analyzing whether the use of the ETAP 12.6 software in assisting calculations and analysis in the selection of OCR settings. The difference in ocr settings in the ETAP 12.6 and field data has a difference of less than 2%. This difference is relatively small and can still be used to help the process in selecting the OCR settings.

Описан клинический случай пациентки с редким фенотипом в виде прогрессирующей мозжечковой атаксии в сочетании с признаками поражения верхнего и нижнего двигательных нейронов. При проведении таргетного панельного секвенирования был выявлен описанный ранее патогенный вариант c.272A>C (p.D91A, rs80265967) в 4-м экзоне гена SOD1. Варианты в данном гене являются частой причиной развития наследственных форм бокового амиотрофического склероза (БАС, MIM #105400). Сочетание клинической картины БАС с мозжечковой атаксией является крайне редким феноменом, а случаев обнаружения данной мутации у пациентов с мозжечковой атаксией ранее описано не было. Представленное клиническое наблюдение и данные литературы расширяют представления о генетическом и фенотипическом «перекресте» наследственных атаксий и болезней двигательного нейрона. В настоящее время проводится активная разработка препаратов для генной терапии SOD1- БАС, в том числе с использованием антисмысловых олигонуклеотидов, направленных на подавление экспрессии гена SOD1. В связи этим необходимо включать исследование гена SOD1 в алгоритмы диагностики наследственных мозжечковых атаксий при наличии характерного клинического фенотипа.

We report a clinical case of the patient with a rare phenotype presented by progressive cerebellar ataxia in combination with upper and lower motor neuron involvement. Target panel sequencing revealed the previously described pathogenic mutation c.272A>C (p.D91A, rs80265967) in the 4th exon of the SOD1 gene. Mutations in this gene are a common cause of the hereditary forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, MIM #105400). The combination of ALS with cerebellar ataxia is an extremely rare, and cases of association of this mutation with cerebellar ataxia have not been previously described. The presented clinical observation and literature data expand the understanding of the genetic and phenotypic “overlap” of hereditary ataxias and motor neuron diseases. The development of drugs for SOD1-ALS gene therapy, including the use of antisense oligonucleotides aimed at suppressing SOD1 gene expression, is currently underway. In this regard, it is necessary to include the study of the SOD1 gene in the algorithms for diagnosing hereditary cerebellar ataxia in the presence of a characteristic clinical phenotype.
