Reduced order ﬁnite diﬀerence scheme based on POD for fractional stochastic advection-diﬀusion equation
Authors: Soori Zoleikha , Aminataei A.
Published: March 2022

This paper introduce a numerical solution of time fractional stochastic
advection-diﬀusion equa- tion (FSA-DE) wherein time fractional
derivative is described in Caputo sence of order α (0 < α
< 1). First, a L1 approximation is employed to estimate the
Caputo derivative. Then, the spatial derivative is discretized by a
second-order ﬁnite diﬀerence scheme. Moreover, we combine the implicit
ﬁnite diﬀerence (IFD) scheme with the proper orthogonal decomposition
(POD) method to reduce the used cpu time. In other words, we obtain POD
based reduced-order IFD scheme. As a result, the new scheme can be
viewed as the modiﬁcation of the exiting job (Mirzaee et al., 2020
[23]). The numerical results provide to verify the feasibility and
eﬃciency of the new method.

(CaCl ) could enhance chilling tolerance in loquat
fruit, but the molecular mechanism is still not illuminated. In this
study, CaCl treatment suppressed the increase in
firmness and lignin content, and retained higher extractable juice,
thereby alleviating chilling-induced lignification in loquat fruit.
Moreover, CaCl enhanced the
[calmodulin](javascript:;) (CaM) content, free Ca
distribution, EjCaM7, and CaM binding
transcription activators 3 ( EjCAMTA3) expression in loquat fruit
during cold storage, indicating Ca /CaM-CAMTA played
a key role in response to cold stress. The EjCAMTA3 and EjCaM7 proteins
were identified and characterized from loquat fruit. Importantly,
EjCAMTA3 bound to the CG-box in EjPODP7-like and
EjLAC12-like promoters to repress their transcription. Further
analysis revealed that EjCaM7 interacted with EjCAMTA3 in a Ca
-dependent manner, and this interaction enhanced the
EjCAMTA3-mediated transcriptional repression of EjPODP7-like and
EjLAC12-like genes. Taken together, these findings suggested that
CaCl treatment alleviates chilling-induced
lignification in loquat fruit, which probably via the synergistic role
of EjCaM7 and EjCAMTA3 in the modulation of EjPODP7-like and
EjLAC12-like genes expression, leading to the repression of
lignin polymerization.

Published: March 2022

Background Understanding the long-term psychosocial impact of
pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for
non-malignant diseases is needed in order to optimize pre-HSCT
counseling, supportive care, and long-term follow up programs after HSCT
for this group of patients and caregivers. Procedure This
qualitative study included 14 patients transplanted for a non-malignant
disease during childhood. In-depth interviews were held online to
explore patients’ perspectives on the long-term psychosocial impact of
HSCT on their lives. Results were analyzed based on the Grounded Theory
approach. Results Patients’ median age at the time of interview
was 19 years (range 14-49) and median years after HSCT was 12 years
(range 3-33). Four main themes were identified: (1) Doing okay, (2)
Experiencing persistent involvement with healthcare services, (3)
Influence on relationships with loved ones, and (4) Impact on patient’s
life course. Subthemes extracted were doing okay, feeling of being
cured, health limitations, sense of vulnerability, ongoing connection to
the hospital, acceptance, friendship, family relations, development of
own identity, not taking life for granted, social development, impact on
(school) career, and thinking about the future. Conclusions
Patients reported active coping strategies and resilience after this
high-impact treatment. The data highlight the need for patient-adjusted
supportive care, indicating more need of supportive care in the
long-term outpatient clinic.

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) is a rare clinical disorder
characterized anatomically by an abnormal right-to-left shunt (RLS) at
the pulmonary vascular level. RLS was detected by
right-heart contrast echocardiography (RHCE), and a large number of
contrast microbubbles were detected entering the left atrium and
ventricle from the left and right pulmonary veins, Intuitively prompt
bilateral pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. Computed tomography
angiography confirmed the diagnosis. We report a case of a patient with
PAVF complicated with pulmonary hypertension, RHCE with high-frequency
transthoracic ultrasound showed the typical signs of pulmonary
arteriovenous fistula. We used this method for the first time to
diagnose pulmonary arteriovenous fistula.

Published: March 2022

The scale-up of bioprocesses is still one of the major obstacles in
biotechnological industry. Scale-down bioreactors were identified as
valuable tools to investigate the heterogeneities observed in
large-scale tanks in laboratory-scale. Additionally, computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) simulations can be used to gain information about fluid
flow in tanks used for production. Here we present the rational design
and comprehensive characterization of a scale-down setup, in which a
flexible and modular plug-flow reactor is connected to a stirred tank
bioreactor. With the help of CFD the mixing time difference between
differently scaled bioreactors were evaluated and used as scale-down
criterium. Additionally, it was used to characterize the setup at
conditions were experiments could technically not be performed. This was
the first time a scale-down setup was tested on high cell density
Escherichia coli cultivations to produce industrial relevant
antigen-binding fragments (Fab). Reduced biomass and product yields were
observed during the scale-down cultivations. Additionally, the
intracellular Fab fraction was increased by using the setup. The results
show that including CFD in the design and characterization of a
scale-down reactor can help to keep a connection to production scale and
also gain intensive knowledge about the setup, which enhances usability.
Analysis and design of a single layer double square slot frequency selective surface with single stopband between double passbands
Authors: Pae * Ji-Song , Im Song-Jin , Han Yong-Ha , Song Kil-Song
Published: March 2022

Square loop and square slot are the simplest and commonly used elements
of frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) providing bandstop and bandpass
responses, respectively. Despite it is already known that employment of
a double square slot structure presents a tunable stopband between two
passbands, it is not clear which parameters of the structure are crucial
for tunning the inbetween stopband. We propose an analysis of a double
square slot FSS considering its element as a parallel connection of
square slot and square loop predicting two geometrical parameters of the
constituent square loop are crucial for tunning the inbetween stopband.
The stopband is tunable by changing geometrical parameters of the
constituent square loop and does not depend on geometries of the
constituent square slot. The validity of this analytical prediction is
verified by full wave EM simulation results.

Relative bradycardia in patients with COVID-19
Authors: Jung Lae-Young , Kim Jae-Min , Ryu Sukhyun , Lee Chang-Seop
Published: March 2022

Introduction: Relative bradycardia(RB) is a relatively low heart rate
response to rise in body temperature that occurs in several infectious
diseases and can be an important clinical sign. In previous case
reports, RB was presented in some patients with COVID-19. Objective and
Methods: To investigate the correlation between temperature and heart
rate, we retrospectively reviewed 249 febrile patients with documented
COVID-19 patients. RB was defined as a rise in the heart rate (HR) from
a basal HR of less than 10 beats/minute/°C rise in temperature. Results:
In this study, the prevalence of RB in patients with COVID-19 was
60.6%. When the HR at peak temperatures for patients with COVID-19 were
compared with reference valve (general temperature-heart rate response
in infectious disease), our findings demonstrate a relatively lower
heart rate at all peak temperatures recorded. Despite differences in HR
response, there were not significant differences in clinical outcomes
(pulmonary manifestation, ICU care, Death). Conclusion: Most patients
with COVID-19 are associated with relative bradycardia, not related to
clinical outcomes. RB in COVID-19 can be considered as the clinical
features for differential diagnosis from other febrile conditions.
High level bioprotection against infective aerosols: How medical face masks compare against respirators
Authors: Sterr Christian , Dick Aline , Schellenberger Lena , Zirbes Julian , Nonnenmacher-Winter Claudia , Günther Frank
Published: March 2022

Face masks and respirators are commonly used to prevent the transmission
of infectious diseases that spread by respiratory droplets and aerosols.
However, there is still uncertainty about the protective effect of the
different types of masks against virus containing aerosols. To determine
the as-worn bioprotection efficacy of different face coverings and
estimate the possible protective function against airborne diseases, we
challenged different respirators and medical masks on a standardized
dummy head with a bioaerosol containing MS2 bacteriophages as virus
surrogates. In our experiments, FFP2 respirators showed the highest
filtration efficacy 94.45±4.47 (SD) % followed by medical masks
92.83±3.34 (SD) % and KN95 respirators 90.08±6.64% (SD) %.
Nevertheless, we found no statistically significant difference between
respirators and medical masks in terms of provided protection against
infective aerosols. Our findings indicate, that both respirators and
medical masks provide a high as-worn bioprotection efficacy against
virus containing aerosols, and therefore, a very high protection against
airborne diseases. Considering the higher comfort, better availability,
and lower price of medical masks in contrast to respirators, it is
recommendable to use medical face masks especially in low risk
situations and in general public.

Published: March 2022

Objectives: Pulmonary artery pressure measurement is key to verifying
the success of a rat model of pulmonary hypertension(PH). Herein, a
novel method for measuring pulmonary artery pressure through
high-frequency ultrasound-guided transthoracic puncture was demonstrated
in rats. The efficacy and time of this novel method were also discussed.
Methods: A single subcutaneous injection of monocrotaline was
used to establish a rat model of PH. The tip of that puncture cannula
was maintained at a certain angle after the needle core was removed
through heat shaping method. In the short-axis section of the
parasternal aorta, in-plane real-time guided trocar puncture of the
right ventricular outflow tract was performed. The external pressure
sensor was used to record the real-time waveform, right ventricular
systolic pressure, pulmonary artery systolic pressure, and diastolic
pressure. Results: The success rates of using this novel method
in the model group and the control group were 88.5% and 86.7%,
respectively, and the puncture pressure measurement times were 164 ± 31s
and 235 ± 50s, respectively. The model group’s right ventricular
systolic blood pressure, pulmonary systolic blood pressure, and
diastolic blood pressure were higher than those of the control group.
Conclusions: The modified method for trocar is helpful for
accurately positioning pulmonary artery manometry. The method described
in this paper has a high success rate and short operation time. It has a
broad application prospect in verifying rat PH model and pulmonary
artery pressure monitoring.

Published: March 2022

Death rate is increased in type 2 diabetes. Unraveling biomarkers of novel pathogenic pathways capable to identify high-risk patients is instrumental to tackle this burden. We investigated the association between serum metabolites and all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetes and then whether the associated metabolites mediate the effect of inflammation on mortality risk and improve ENFORCE (EstimatioN oF mORtality risk in type2 diabetic patiEnts) and RECODe (Risk Equation for Complications Of type 2 Diabetes), two well-established all-cause mortality prediction models in diabetes. Two cohorts comprising 856 individuals (279 all-cause deaths) were analyzed. Serum metabolites (n = 188) and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines (n = 7) were measured. In the pooled analysis, hexanoylcarnitine, kynurenine, and tryptophan were significantly and independently associated with mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.60 [95% CI 1.43–1.80]; 1.53 [1.37–1.71]; and 0.71 [0.62–0.80] per 1 SD). The kynurenine-to-tryptophan ratio (KTR), a proxy of indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase, which degrades tryptophan to kynurenine and contributes to a proinflammatory status, mediated 42% of the significant association between the antiatherogenic interleukin (IL) 13 and mortality. Adding the three metabolites improved discrimination and reclassification (all P < 0.01) of both mortality prediction models. In type 2 diabetes, hexanoylcarnitine, tryptophan, and kynurenine are associated to and improve the prediction of all-cause mortality. Further studies are needed to investigate whether interventions aimed at reducing KTR also reduce the risk of death, especially in patients with low IL-13.

English abstract
Local Implementation of the National Curriculum
The learning Norwegian students experience depend on both the national curriculum framework and local curriculum plans. The Norwegian curriculum is constructed as a national framework which leaves plenty of room for local impact. Local curriculum development entails specific competence within the teacher profession, but in what sense has the process of reforming the national curriculum, “Kunnskapsløftet”, lead to changed expectations? The theme of this article is how the national curriculum in Norway, “Læreplanverket for Kunnskapsløftet av 2020” function as management tool and as a pedagogical resource in the development of local curriculum plans. The article is based on a thematic document analysis of policy documents concerning the evaluation and revision of the educational reform. The aim of the analysis has been to investigate the policy documents as management framework and management tools within a curriculum-theoretical, didactical and political perspective.

Factors Influencing Male Partner’s Knowledge on Their Role during Antenatal Care in Mangu, Nakuru Country
Authors: Warugongo Evalyn , Walekhwa Michael , Otieno Filex , Yegon Nourine
Published: March 2022

Male participation is key in the implementation and use of Antenatal Care (ANC) amenities. Over the years, there has been a slight increase in male participation in reproductive health. However, there is evidence that majority of those who participate do not understand their role in ANC. This study aimed to establish males' knowledge regarding their role in the ANC continuum. The study design was cross-sectional. The study population consisted of males with female partners aged 18-49 years who live in Mangu town, Nakuru County, Kenya, and have had a full-term delivery within the past 5 years. A sample of 73 respondents was recruited for the study. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Majority of the respondents (45.2%) were between ages 31-40 years. The main source of credible knowledge on ANC were health care providers, 71.2% of the respondents who escorted their female partners to ANC clinics waited outside the consultation room as their female partners sought medical attention hence, they either had little or completely no knowledge on ANC. Male's knowledge of ANC is influenced by age, type of family (monogamy or polygamy), level of education and caregiver’s attitude. Male partners should be provided with targeted education regarding their role in the ANC continuum.
Ethical Principles of Biomedicine Correlate with Prevalence of Antimicrobial Resistance
Authors: Suge Titus , Kimeto Pamela , Kagia Richard , Walekhwa Michael Nyongesa
Published: March 2022

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has and continues to pose both development & public health threats across the world. While the scourge is well disseminated globally, persons living in low- & middle-income countries (LMICs) are most at risk. In Kenya, AMR represents a pivotal driver of morbidity & mortality as infections that are resistant to antibiotics have continued to rise lately. Empirical data on the state of AMR in Kenya and other LMICs is conspicuously low or completely lacking. This has significantly muffled intervention strategies as explicit understanding of AMR faculties remains a bottleneck. We conducted a scoping review to understand the nexus between practice of ethical principles of biomedicine & occurrence of AMR. PRISMA guidelines were strictly referenced at every step of this review. PubMed, EMBASE & Cochrane databases were searched using google for relevant articles. A total of 187 articles were initially generated. Several filters were applied in order to develop a shortlist of the most relevant articles. They include: conformity to the stated study objective & research design, publication in highly refereed journal type, consistency with medical subject headings (MeSh) and lack of potential conflict of interest (CoI). Finally, a total of 5 articles were identified and the results they represent well synthesized. Balancing provisions of the practice of ethical principles of biomedicine by clinicians & other critical players remains an important challenge. A prescription & practice model that considers a balance of provisions of the four ethical principles of biomedicine should be developed and implemented. Empirical research should be continuously conducted to generate updated knowledge that informs progressive policy formulation and development of effective intervention strategies.

Published: March 2022

In this study, the low‑grade pineapple and lime key from Sob Prab Cooperative Limited, Lampang, Thailand were selected to investigate the anti‑ageing activities. The pineapple (PA‑J) and lime key juices (LM‑J) were squeezed and then the pineapple and lime key residues were extracted by maceration in 95% (v/v) ethanol (PA‑E and LM‑E) and boiled in distilled water (PA‑W and LM‑W). The extraction yields from all extracts ranged from 14.58 to 23.01, with the presence of terpenoids as a phytochemical. For anti-ageing activities of all extracts, it was found that the LM-J extract showed the highest antioxidant activity including free radical scavenging, metal chelation and lipid peroxidation activities, whereas the PA‑E extract exhibited the whitening effect including tyrosinase inhibition activity and anti-melanogenesis on B16F10 cells, and the stimulation of collagen biosynthesis on human dermal fibroblasts. In addition, all extracts did not show cytotoxicity on human dermal fibroblasts at 0.1 mg mL-1. This study suggested that the PA‑E and the LM extracts might be beneficial to be an active ingredient for anti-ageing cosmetics.
The Why and the How of Renewal in Philosophy of Religion
Authors: Draper Paul , Schellenberg John L.
Published: March 2022

Recently, we co-edited a volume of essays (Draper & Schellenberg 2017) dedicated to the proposition that our field, the philosophy of religion, is not all that it could be.  The new set of essays we’re joining here shows that this sentiment is, at the least, not going away.  That’s encouraging, but how can we get beyond sentiment?  In this our own essay we hope to do so by focusing very precisely and persuasively on problems and solutions: on why our field needs renewal and how to achieve it. More specifically, we hope to get every reader to recognize and accept at least one problem from the range of problems in the field as it exists today that we propose to identify, and to select for special thought and supportive effort at least one solution from the range of solutions we’ll be promoting.  Let’s adjust that slightly: one extra problem and one extra solution – for we’re going to start by setting the right mood with some thoughts about a very basic problem/solution pair that we should all be able to recognize/support.
Liberal Naturalism without Reenchantment
Authors: Spiegel Thomas J.
Published: March 2022

There is a close conceptual relation between the notions of religious disenchantment and scientific naturalism. One way of resisting philosophical and cultural implications of the scientific image and the subsequent process of disenchantment can be found in attempts at sketching a reenchanted worldview. The main issue of accounts of reenchantment can be a rejection of scientific results in a way that flies in the face of good reason. Opposed to such reenchantment is scientific naturalism which implies an entirely disenchanted worldview. However, one of the main problems of scientific naturalism are placement problems. A reenchanted worldview does have the conceptual resources to avoid placement problems, yet seems to throw out the baby (a reasonable appeal to science as an authority) with the bathwater (placement problems). A dilemma results: the Scylla of an undesirable scientific naturalism and the Charybdis of a rampant, seemingly prescientific reenchanted worldview. In this article I argue that there is a safe middle passage between these two options, i.e. the recently proposed liberal naturalism which allows for a moderate normative reenchantment. Liberal naturalism lets us have it both ways: avoiding the placement problems while retaining a necessary and reasonable adherence to science, thereby avoiding both an all-too restrictive scientific naturalism.

The Roles of Parents for Children's Faith Education: A Catechization Review
Authors: Ahen Lukas , Cenderato Cenderato , Halawa Arius Arifman
Published: March 2022

This study aims to determine the extent to which parents at Stasi Santo Andreas Binjai, Parish of Santo Mikael Tanjung Baung, Sintang Diocese have played their role as educators of the faith of their children in the Industrial Revolution Era 4.0. This paper explores the obstacles faced by parents and how to overcome these obstacles to carry out their roles as faith educators for their children. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method that describes all the symptoms or conditions that exist. The data collection was conducted using three techniques: direct observation with observation guidance, direct communication through dialogue, and/or direct communication with participants to collect research data using tools (interview guides and documentary studies with visuals) during the study as evidence that researchers took to the field to conduct research. Based on the results, it is known that parents are not yet fully aware of their duties and responsibilities as the first and foremost faith educators for their children. Instead, the responsibility of fostering children's faith is mostly left to schools and churches as institutions (administrators of Stasi and Parish Churches). Lack of time for parents to be with their children and lack of understanding and awareness of parents about their duties and responsibilities in their children's faith education are inhibiting factors. The question exists, how to overcome the obstacles parents face as faith educators for their children. Many parents try to take advantage of family time (although it is limited) to give advice and practical teachings as a form of practical family catechesis, monitor children's activities, and encourage their children to take part in church activities.
Religion and Psychological Values in Culinary Tradition Within Local Communities of West Kalimantan
Authors: Hariansyah Hariansyah , Rosilawati Ana
Published: March 2022

The article aims to explore culinary tradition that penetrates the public space which does not give room for tolerance because it has to deal with the rules of Islamic law. Food is perceived as being in a binary opposition: having an integration effect or being a social conflict resolution. Food is presented to the public space as a duplication of scriptural sources, a marker of tradition, an ecological balancing argument, and an indication of social shift. This paper confirms that dining tradition is proven to have an Islamic ideology. It is indicated by the ijab qabul phenomenon that accompanies the culinary tradition procession as an entity enriching the concept of fiqh among people living in coastal areas regarding the concept of food. In addition, eating and its traditions have an effect on environmental conflict resolution in the coastal areas of West Kalimantan. The traditions of food, land, houses, gatherings and reciting prayers for safety are all important ethnic characteristics in West Kalimantan. These five entities, which are perceived by the people of Kalimantan as provisions for life, have proven to be of no subjective values; they are reserved only for anyone with productive land. However, farm products in the form of food are also distributed to anyone in need. When someone has fulfilled the ber-saro'an (the invitation to eat; berontang or saprahan) in a village, they are no longer treated as “strangers”. This tradition is not only about eating but also has to do with the emergence of variants of Islamic fiqh in the coastal areas indicating psychological values.
The unmet potential of artificial intelligence in veterinary medicine
Authors: Basran Parminder S. , Appleby Ryan B.
Published: March 2022

Veterinary medicine is a broad and growing discipline that includes topics such as companion animal health, population medicine and zoonotic diseases, and agriculture. In this article, we provide insight on how artificial intelligence works and how it is currently applied in veterinary medicine. We also discuss its potential in veterinary medicine. Given the rapid pace of research and commercial product developments in this area, the next several years will pose challenges to understanding, interpreting, and adopting this powerful and evolving technology. Artificial intelligence has the potential to enable veterinarians to perform tasks more efficiently while providing new insights for the management and treatment of disorders. It is our hope that this will translate to better quality of life for animals and those who care for them.

Authors: Stollar Ori O. , Moore George E. , Mukhopadhyay Abhijit , Gwin Wilson , Ogata Niwako
Published: March 2022

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the effects of a single dose of orally administered gabapentin in alleviating stress at a veterinary visit in privately owned dogs.

Animals

22 healthy client-owned dogs (1.5 to 8.5 years old) were enrolled in this study.

PROCEDURES

Each dog received a 50-mg/kg oral dose of either gabapentin or placebo 2 hours before the beginning of each visit protocol. The dog’s behavioral responses were coded from recorded video clips during a 5-minute-long standardized physical examination and pre– and post–physical examination phases. The veterinary technician separately rated each greeting behavior at each visit. Physiological variables during veterinary visits (ie, eye surface temperature and salivary cortisol concentrations) were also compared between the pre– and post–physical examination phases. The owner was queried 24 hours after a visit to determine the incidence of adverse events.

RESULTS

The greeting test score, eye surface temperature, and cortisol concentrations did not differ substantially between the gabapentin and placebo treatment groups. Lip licking frequency during the physical examination phase was significantly lower in the gabapentin treatment group than in the placebo group (P = 0.001). Lip licking frequency during the pre– and post–physical examination phases was also significantly lower in the gabapentin treatment group than in the placebo treatment group (P = 0.004). No serious adverse events were reported by the owners following gabapentin treatment.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results showed that the 50-mg/kg dose of gabapentin was well tolerated without serious adverse effects in healthy dogs. Further studies are recommended of dogs with documented stress in response to a veterinary visit.
Sealing peri-cuff leak of a small endotracheal tube passing through laryngeal web in five dogs (2015–2019)
Authors: Kim Jiyoung , Kim Hyunseok , Kim Dalhae , Shin Donghwi , Lee Inhyung , Son Won-gyun
Published: March 2022

CASE DESCRIPTION

5 dogs with a history of ventriculocordectomy were anesthetized with isoflurane for ovariohysterectomy, dental prophylaxis, or intracapsular lens extraction.

CLINICAL FINDINGS

No remarkable, abnormal clinical signs such as exercise intolerance, respiratory distress, or stridor were found in 4 dogs. However, 1 dog had cough after drinking, which had started after the ventriculocordectomy. During intubation, laryngeal web, suspected to be a complication of ventriculocordectomy, was accidentally discovered.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME

Laryngeal web was observed during intubation, necessitating the use of a smaller-diameter endotracheal tube (ETT) for intubation. However, the smaller cuff volume of the smaller ETT did not prevent the air leak. Therefore, the ETT with the inflated cuff was pulled cranially until the narrowed laryngeal lumen was plugged with the cuff behind the vocal cords. The ETT was secured to prevent slippage. No air leakage around the ETT cuff or complications related to the ETT placement were observed in the peri-anesthetic period in any dog.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Laryngeal web can be found in patients with a history of larynx-related surgeries and may allow only a small-diameter ETT to pass through. The sealing technique used for peri-cuff air leak using a small ETT described here that can pass through a laryngeal web could be useful to seal an air leak around the cuff without complications.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science in which computer systems are designed to perform tasks that mimic human intelligence. Today, AI is reshaping day-to-day life and has numerous emerging medical applications poised to profoundly reshape the practice of veterinary medicine. In this Currents in One Health, we discuss the essential elements of AI for veterinary practitioners with the aim to help them make informed decisions in applying AI technologies into their practices. Veterinarians will play an integral role in ensuring the appropriate uses and good curation of data. The expertise of veterinary professionals will be vital to ensuring good data and, subsequently, AI that meets the needs of the profession. Readers interested in an in-depth description of AI and veterinary medicine are invited to explore a complementary manuscript of this Currents in One Health available in the May 2022 issue of the American Journal of Veterinary Research.
Microclimatic factors in urban development: The setup of an environmental observatory at the FAD STU
Authors: Hubinský Tomáš , Legény Ján
Published: March 2022

The presented research focuses on energy (im)balance on both global and local scale. The main emphasis is placed on microclimatic factors directly affecting public urban spaces and related physical processes regarding the city that are closely linked to energy flows and result in the formation of Urban Heat Islands (UHIs). As they are one of the main adverse effects of human activities, the paper introduces the classification of UHIs by types, describes the basic differences between the surface energy balance of rural and urban areas, and introduces climate-sensitive urban design as one of the possible ways of mitigating the undesirable anthropogenic impact on the climate change. The authors of the article present their own research, which predominantly focuses on the development of an environmental observatory situated on the rooftop of the building of the Faculty of Architecture and Design STU in Bratislava (hereafter referred to as the FAD STU). They interpret the experimental operation of sensing probe 1 and the first results and measurement data on Global Horizontal Solar Irradiation (GHSI) and their post-processing. In addition, they describe the construction of sensing probe 2, which will provide more data on the total atmospheric precipitation, wind speed and its direction, presence of dust particles and carbon dioxide in the air, or spectral characteristics of incident and reflected solar radiation. Finally, the experimental operation of a thermal and micro- camera with fisheye lenses is described. These cameras are essential for measuring the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as one of the parameters used for the assessment of vegetation vitality, which also plays a key role in the formation of the UHI effect.
Basalt fibre continuous reinforcement composite pavement reinforcement design based on finite element model
Authors: Luo Yuhu , Hasan Hafnida
Published: March 2022

The thrust of basalt fibre (BFRP) tendons will result in narrower transverse crack spacing, decreased load transfer capacity of transverse cracks and voids at the bottom of the slab, which will lead to thrust failure. The thesis uses the finite element analysis method to analyse the material characteristics of BFRP tendons. At the same time, the article determines the critical load position corresponding to the tensile stress of concrete and BFRP tendons, and analyses the influence of voids, crack spacing and other factors on the load stress of concrete and BFRP tendons. The study results found that continuously reinforced concrete and asphalt overlay composite design can reduce cracks.

This study evaluated the chemical composition of two maize varieties at different levels of green manure application. The bucket experiment was laid in 2 × 3 factorial arrangement comprising two maize varieties (Oba super 2 and Suwan I) and three green manure application levels (0, 6.3 and 12.6 t/ha). The results showed that Oba super 2 had a lower (p < 0.05) Crude Protein (CP) (8.91 %) content, but had a higher (p < 0.05) ether extract (8.83 %) and ash (9.83 %) contents as compared to Suwan I. Maize fertilised with 6.3 t/ha of green manure had the highest CP (10.13 %) and ash (9.96 %) contents. Interaction effect of variety and level of green manure application showed that the least CP content (7.61 %) was recorded for unfertilised Oba Super 2 maize, whereas the highest CP content (10.21 %) was recorded for Suwan I maize fertilised with 12.6 t/ha of green manure. There were no significant (p > 0.05) differences in the Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF), Acid Detergent Lignin (ADL), hemicellulose and cellulose contents of the two maize varieties evaluated. However, the Acid Detergent Fibre (ADF) content was significantly (p < 0.05) higher (32.33 %) in Oba Super 2 variety. The rising amounts of green manure applied significantly (p < 0.05) increased both the NDF and ADF. There was no consistent variation in the NDF content as influenced by interaction of both factors with the highest (60.67 %) NDF content recorded for unfertilised Oba Super 2 maize. Calcium, potassium and phosphorus contents declined with the increasing amount of green manure added. Our results show that the green manure application improved the nutritional qualities of the planted maize and should be used in practice.
