ҐЕНДЕРНИЙ ЧИННИК ЯК ВАЖЛИВА СКЛАДОВА ФОРМУВАННЯ ТА РОЗВИТКУ ОСОБИСТОСТІ
Authors: Мамченко Світлана Петрівна
Published: August 2022

У статті розглядається ґендерний чинник як невід’ємна складова успішного розвитку особистості XXI століття. За наявності потужної законодавчої бази проблема інтеграції ґендерної складової в освітню сферу залишається недостатньо вирішеною. Забезпечення демократичного розвитку суспільства, в цілому, та кожної особистості, зокрема, можливе лише в контексті ґендерної рівності та спрведливості. Упровадження принципів ґендерної рівності у сферу вищої освіти та визначення шляхів реалізації ґендерного підходу залишаються наразі першочерговими завданнями освітнього прстору України.

Effect of Compost and Synthetic Fertilizer on Soil Fertility, Yield and Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Broccoli Crop in Arid Region of Morocco
Authors: Aouass K. , Kenny L.
Published: August 2022

Background: Soils in arid regions like Morocco are becoming increasingly degraded and polluted because of the high use of synthetic chemical fertilizers linked to population growth. Organic fertilizers such as compost remain a good alternative to improve soil quality and crop yields. Broccoli is a crop that is beginning to develop in Morocco. It is very nitrogen demanding crop; therefore, it is necessary to know nitrogen use efficiency in broccoli. Methods: In this field experimental conducted during 2015 at the horticultural complex of Agadir - Agronomy and Veterinary Institute Hassan II, different treatments were tested on broccoli as follows:TC8t/ha: compost, 8 t/ha (equivalent 200 kgN /ha), TC12t/ha: compost, 12 t/ha (equivalent 300 kg N /ha), TSYN: Synthetic chemical fertilizer (200 kg N/ha), TC+SYN: 50% compost, 4t/ha+50% Synthetic fertilizer (equivalent 200 kg N/ha) and T0: control, in order to optimize nitrogen use efficiency of compost and synthetic fertilizer. Result: Our research showed that the combination of compost and synthetic fertilizer: TC+SYN improved the growth and yield parameters of broccoli; the best main head yield of broccoli was 13.5 t/ha for TC+SYN. Compost improved the chemical properties of soil. Total N content was 266 kg/ha for TC+SYN, 253 kg/ha for TSYN, 244 kg/ha for TC8 t/ha and 234 kg/ha for TC12 t/ha. For Nitrogen use efficiency, apparent recovery efficiency (ARE) was higher with TSYN: 0.91 followed by TC+SYN: 0.88 followed by TC8t/ha with 0.77 and T C12 t/ha: 0.48.
A Ten Year Retrospective Study on Cor Triatriatum Sinister Associated Heart Failure in Dogs
Authors: Kumar K. Satish , Nagaraj P. , Ambica G. , Jyothi J.
Published: August 2022

Background: Although cortriatriatumsinister (CTs) represents a well-known and widely described cardiac malformation in humans, its description in the canine population is rare. The aim of this ten-year study is to place on record about the most unusual congenital cardiac malformation, cortriatriatum sinister that was sporadically reported among veterinary patients. Methods: The dogs were examined clinically, physically and later subjected for chest radiograph and echocardiography to confirm CTs. All were showing regular femoral pulse that was strong and synchronous to the heart beat, pale mucosa, mean systolic arterial blood pressure of 145 mm Hg and with normal hemato-biochemical parameters. Cardiomegaly with increased sternal contact, elevated trachea, pulmonary congestion and engorged caudal vena cava were radiographic findings. 2d-echocardiography revealed a left atrium that was subdivided by a transverse membrane into two distinct compartments, one proximal and one distal, thus confirming the cortriatriatum sinister. Result: Cor triatriatum sinister (CTs) was diagnosed in 4 dogs with a prevalence of 4.59% amongst those suffering from congenital heart anomalies, that were aged between 5y-7y and the breeds include Boxer, Doberman and Cocker spaniel. All these dogs were presented with similar signs suggestive of heart failure viz., exercise intolerance, dyspnoea at rest, cough that was dry nocturnal type, generalised weakness and syncope. All of these patients were successfully managed with frusemide, benazapril and pimobendan. Hence, it may be concluded that the CTS, a rare congenital cardiac anomaly in dogs should also be included in the differential diagnosis of heart failure, particularly if presented at early life, which also helps to prevent further breeding from such stock.

Published: August 2022

Background: The overpopulation of free dogs represents a risk to public health in some countries. However, current strategies for its control are insufficient; it is convenient to devise new alternatives. Methods: To determine the effects of a single oral administration of coumestrol (COU) on vaginal epithelial cells, serum progesterone and estradiol levels and clinical parameters: periovulatory bitches received a biscuit that contained 600 mg COU/kg diluted in DMSO or with DMSO alone or without additives. Each group was subdivided into animals that had ovulated on day 0 and those that had not. Result: In animals that ovulated, COU did not affect hormonal profiles. In contrast, animals that did not ovulate showed lower circulating P4 concentrations on days 21 and 28 after treatment than the control group. Furthermore, COU reduced parabasal cells and increased superficial anucleate cells. COU and DMSO are estrogenic and their actions depend on the ovulatory status of the animals.
Reaction of Chickpea Germplasm Lines against Root-knot Nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood and its Management using Bioagents under Field Condition
Authors: Lala Rayanta Kumar , Ghosh S. Mondal , Chakraborty G.
Published: August 2022

Background: Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is one of the most important food legumes grown worldwide. Its cultivation in India is hampered considerably due to regular occurrence of root knot nematode and reported to reduce the chickpea yield by 9-40%. Methods: The present study was conducted to evaluate some chickpea germplasm for resistance against root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita. The field experiment was also conducted for the management of root-knot nematode infesting chickpea with seven treatments including an untreated control. Mainly the experiment was conducted to check the efficacy of some biopesticides. Result: The screening result revealed that none of the germplasm was found highly resistant against the root knot nematode, however three germplasms exhibited moderately resistant reaction having root gall index between 2.1 to 3.0. All the treatments were significantly superior over the untreated control in reducing the root-knot nematode population, gall index and increasing yield of chickpea at termination. However, soil application of Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 20 g/m2 + Neem cake @ 100 g/m2 was found to be the most effective in reducing root-knot nematode population (47.88%) and increasing the yield of chickpea (50.20%) at termination. This was followed by soil application of Perpureocillium lilacinum @ 20 g/m2 + Neem Cake @ 100 g/m2. The reduction in root knot nematode population and increase of yield over control were 37.46% and 36.40% respectively.

Authors: Thakur Kuldeep S. , Yadav Nitin , Kansal Sandeep
Published: August 2022

Background: French bean is an important legume vegetable crop. Due to its low ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, excess amount of nitrogenous fertilizers are required by this crop as compared to other legumes. Overwhelming application of inorganic inputs has severely impacted environment and soil. So, there is a need to reduce inorganic inputs by adding organic nutrient sources. Methods: A three-year field experiment was laid comprising of eight treatment combinations and was replicated thrice during Kharif season of 2018, 2019 and 2020. Seeds of French bean cv. Green Wonder were sown at a spacing of 45 × 15 cm in each plot of size 3.0 m × 1.8 m. Recommended dose of fertilizers (NPK 50:100:50 kg ha-1) was followed as per different treatment details. Result: Application of 75 per cent NPK through inorganic and 25 per cent N through vermicompost resulted in minimum days to first pod harvest (61.89 days), maximum pod width (7.67 mm), number of pods per plant (30.96), plant height (51.29 cm), average pod weight (5.70 g), marketable pod yield (130.53 q ha-1) and highest benefit cost ratio (2.18) along with maximum net returns (Rs. 313061.43 ha-1).

Published: August 2022

Socio-scientific issues take their content from situations that can be encountered in daily life. Therefore, teaching these subjects is among the important aims of science education. This study aims to determine the views of science teachers on socio-scientific issues. The study was carried out with 26 science teachers (18 women and 8 men) working in schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in the city centre of Kayseri in the 2020–2021 academic year. Open-ended document questions were used as a data collection tool in the study. Content analysis was used in the analysis of the qualitative data obtained in the study. It was concluded that some science teachers did not take any courses related to socio-scientific issues and their teaching in education faculties during their undergraduate education, while the content of existing courses only provided information on some socio-scientific issues.

Economía Conductual: revisión teórica desde la interdisciplinariedad y la complejidad
Authors: Pérez Martínez Armenio , Rodríguez Fernández Aimara
Published: August 2022

El artículo analiza varios supuestos de la Economía Conductual, realizando aportes para su aplicación y comprensión teórica. La investigación es básica pura, documental y exploratoria. Se analizan los principales referentes teóricos de la Economía Conductual mediante el método hipotético deductivo. La investigación señala la necesidad de complementar la perspectiva de la racionalidad limitada, analiza el Sistema Dual de Razonamiento (SDR) y se enfoca en la experimentación como forma de generar nuevos conocimientos. Las conclusiones promueven la comprensión de la racionalidad desde una visión interdisciplinaria y compleja, con componentes como las potencialidades cognitivas, la optimización de resultados, la información suficiente y el control. Se considera que el SDR es complejo, donde los elementos reflexivos y de autocontrol hacen que la rapidez de la respuesta sea menor. Estas consideraciones generan nuevas oportunidades para el análisis y la reflexión acerca de las determinantes psicosociales del comportamiento de los agentes económicos.

Competências socioemocionais do professor universitário na pandemia da covid-19: um estímulo ao “novo” normal?
Authors: Jesus Djanires Lageano Neto de , Gonçalves Débora Fittipaldi , Silus Alan
Published: August 2022

Professores universitários estão sofrendo de esgotamento mental e psicológico, impulsionado pela pandemia da covid-19, que provocou o fechamento provisório das Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) e mudou drasticamente o modo de ensinar e aprender. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste artigo é apresentar alguns discursos socioemocionais a partir dos olhares dos professores universitários brasileiros durante a realização do Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE). Para fundamentar este texto, utilizamos autores como Bardin (2016), Charlot (2020), Dewey (1959) e Perrenoud (2000). Como metodologia, teve abordagem qualitativa, descritiva, bibliográfica, documental e exploratória, buscando ancorar as respostas dos entrevistados com a utilização de um recurso virtual denominado “nuvem de palavras” para, posteriormente, aplicação da análise do discurso e conteúdo. Os resultados, baseados nas 510 pessoas entrevistadas, no período de junho a novembro de 2020, apontam o perfil comportamental, os níveis de estresse e de adaptabilidade das competências socioemocionais dos professores universitários, nativos do ensino presencial, que enfrentam os desafios impostos ao uso excessivo das tecnologias educacionais para fomentar discussões e alternativas de ensino e aprendizagem, a fim de lidar com esse “novo normal” no contexto educacional.
BNCC e avaliações em larga escala: enunciados em discursos midiáticos
Authors: Pereira Talita Vidal , Bibiani Anna Clara Rodrigues Sondahl
Published: August 2022

O estudo assume como empiria artigos de opinião publicados durante o ano de 2017, em dois grandes jornais, O Estado de S. Paulo e O Globo, abordando as temáticas BNCC e avaliações em larga escala. A partir de uma abordagem pós-estrutural, especificamente a Teoria do Discurso de Ernesto Laclau e Chantal Mouffe, os artigos são assumidos como práticas discursivas atravessadas por múltiplas relações de poder na sociedade e que contribuem para o processo de hegemonização de sentidos de qualidade da educação. Os artigos selecionados são assumidos como discursos e analisados com o objetivo de interpretar a produção e a circulação de sentidos de qualidade de educação articulados a sentidos de avaliação que favorecem a hegemonização de um discurso em que a BNCC é significada como capaz de gerar melhoria na qualidade da educação. A escolha da empiria se justifica na medida em que os meios de comunicação se configuram em um espaço privilegiado de produção e articulação de discursos políticos que estão em disputa na sociedade, por sua popularização como fonte de informação.
Trajetórias formativas dos ex-bolsistas do PIBID-Educação Física da Universidade Feevale sobre as práticas inclusivas e a percepção do ex-professor supervisor
Authors: Bartochak Ântony Vinícius , Sanfelice Gustavo Roese , Heidrich Regina de Oliveira
Published: August 2022

O presente estudo busca examinar as trajetórias formativas de ex-bolsistas do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) da Universidade Feevale, do subprojeto de Educação Física, sobre as práticas inclusivas, e analisar a percepção do ex-professor supervisor. A partir disso, a fundamentação teórica é estruturada mediante a contextualização histórica da educação especial no Brasil. Sendo assim, utilizou-se como método de pesquisa a etnografia da trajetória social, com abordagem qualitativa, por meio de coletas de dados de entrevistas não diretivas realizadas com três ex-bolsistas e um ex-professor supervisor. Analisando-se os dados, na primeira categoria – construção e a execução de práticas inclusivas –, concluiu-se que, nos esportes e nas atividades adaptadas, os alunos precisavam incluir os colegas nas diferentes deficiências, exercer a cidadania e a alteridade. Contudo, as limitações do projeto PIBID vincularam-se na centralidade das práticas inclusivas somente nas aulas de Educação Física. Com efeito, sobre a segunda categoria – para além de práticas inclusivas do projeto PIBID e suas contribuições –, evidenciou-se que essas práticas inclusivas tornaram os sujeitos do estudo mais conscientes diante da diversidade humana e mais preparados para trabalhar com a inclusão social em diversos contextos escolares e não escolares.
Community, society, and property: REDD+ and indigenous groups in Mato Grosso (Brazil)
Authors: Eimer Thomas R.
Published: August 2022

The article investigates the impact of REDD+ programs on indigenous livelihoods. Referring to Ferdinand Tönnies’ distinction, it argues that the involvement of indigenous groups with REDD+ fosters a transition from locally oriented, self-sustaining “communities” towards individualistic and market-oriented “societies” that are integrated into the global REDD+ architecture. Although international REDD+ initiatives attempt to integrate indigenous perspectives with the help of consultative procedures, the necessary conditions for a context-sensitive transformation remain unfulfilled, as long as indigenous groups do not obtain secure property titles for their lands. The inherent contradictions of the prevailing REDD+ approach create social tensions and dilemmas both for the participating indigenous groups and the initiators of these projects. Based on semi-structured interviews and participant observations, these dynamics are illustrated by the interplay between indigenous groups, public officials, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and international REDD+ financers in Mato Grosso (Brazil).

Pineal bez metastazları oldukça nadirdir. Çalışmamızın amacı, pineal bez metastazlarının manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulgularını değerlendirmektir. Bu çalışmada Eylül 2010 ile Aralık 2019 tarihleri arasında hastane/ radyoloji arşivindeki beyin manyetik rezonans görüntülemelerinin raporları retrospektif olarak tarandı. Olgular belirlendikten sonra, hastaların cinsiyet, yaş, tanı, sağkalım süresi gibi özellikleri ve boyut (en büyük kesit çap), T1 ağırlıklı, T2 ağırlıklı sinyaller, kontrast tutulumu, ek beyin metastatik tutulum alanları gibi özellikler değerlendirildi. Araştırmamızda pineal metastazlı 7 hasta tespit edildi. Altta yatan maligniteler akciğer (N 2), meme (N 2), prostat kanseri (N 1), nöroblastom (N 1), non-Hodgkin lenfoma (N 1) idi. Pineal metastaz saptandıktan sonra ortalama yaşam süresi 3.14 aydı. Lezyonların boyutları 0.8 ile 1.8 cm arasında değişiyordu. Altı tümör, hem T1 ağırlıklı hem de T2 ağırlıklı olarak gri cevhere göre izointens idi. Biri T1 ağırlıklı ve T2 ağırlıklı görüntülerde heterojen sinyal intensitesi gösterdi. 7 tümörden 6'sı homojen solid kontrastlanma gösterirken, bir tümör nekroza bağlı heterojen kontrastlanma gösterdi. İki hastada leptomeningeal, bir hastada hipofiz sapı, bir hastada parankim, bir hastada kalvaryum-dural metastaz vardı. Kalan 3 hastada ise beyinde eşlik eden metastaz izlenmedi. Bilinen malignitesi olan hastalarda pineal lezyonların varlığı metastatik tutulum şüphesini artırmalıdır.

Soil degradation and the use of urban biosolid wastes to soil restoration have an economic, social-environmental and health impact. Therefore, there is interest worldwide in the use and comparison of methodologies to establish soil quality indexes (SQIs) based on physical, chemical, and biological indicators of soils. Considering that more than 60% of the territory in the Bajío region of Mexico in the State of Guanajuato is affected by some type of soil degradation, three methodologies for the establishment of SQIs—additive, weighted and unified weighted indexes—were compared in this study to evaluate the short-term effects—30 days—of the addition of biosolids as soil improvers. The methodologies were applied in experiments on carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) mineralization dynamics in a sodic agricultural soil. The ammonium indicator (N-NH4+) was established as the one that is most related to the quality of the soil. The additive and unified weighted indexes differentiated the level of soil quality with respect to time and treatment. The developed SQIs can be used for short-term assessment of the quality of agricultural soils under amendment addition treatments with biosolids or similar organic products.
On the Total Edge Irregularity Strength of Odd and Even Staircase Graphs
Authors: Susanti Yeni , Haq Muhammad Arinal
Published: August 2022

A total $m$-labelling $\alpha$ on graph $\Gamma$ is called an edge irregular total $m$-labelling if for any two different edges of $\Gamma$, their weights respect to $\alpha$ are distinct, where the weight of any edge is defined as the sum of its label and the labels of its end vertices. We determine the minimum $m$ such that $\Gamma$ can be labelled by an edge irregular total $m$-labelling whenever $\Gamma$ is an odd staircase graph or an even staircase graph.
Numerical Simulation of Unsteady Flow Field around Monopile under the Combined Influence of Wave and Vibration
Authors: Shi Yuxuan , Cheng Yongzhou , Huang Xiaoyun
Published: August 2022

The unsteady flow around the monopile under the influence of wave and vibration is studied by numerical method. Based on VOF model and SST Turbulence model, combined with Intermittent Transition model and dynamic mesh method, wave generation and pile vibration in numerical flume are simulated. The flow field around vibrating monopile in a calm water flume and a wave flume is simulated and the simulation results are compared. The calculation results show that the monopile vibration has a great disturbance to the unsteady flow around the pile, and the disturbance degree intensifies with the increase of the vibration amplitude of the monopile: Under the action of inertia, the vibration of the monopile leads to the reattachment of the shedding vortices; Under the influence of the reattachment vortices, the asymmetry of the vorticity on the side wall of the monopile intensifies; The intensification of the disturbance causes the reduction of the phase lead angle of the bed shear stress on the side of the single pile, and an additional high bed shear stress appears on the side of the monopile. In addition, the vortex structure formed alternately around the monopile during the vibration process leads to the periodic change of the high bed shear stress.

Significance. Cataracts are the second most common cause of low vision and blindness. In this regard, development of a new analytical approach is required to optimize algorithms of preventive measures. The purpose of the study is to develop a method of screening diagnostics of age-related cataract among people aged 40-99, based on comorbid pathology, as well as an algorithm for stratification into target groups depending of the risk for senile cataract development. Material and methods. The study is based on information extracted from electronic medical records (EMRs) of patients aged 40-99 residing in Tambov and assigned to the city polyclinic (n=38328). The technique was developed using a binary logistic regression analysis with a step-by-step algorithm for including variables, where age-related cataract acted as the dependent variable, and age-related cataract risk factors associated with chronic diseases were used as independent variables. The models were compared by building ROC curves with calculations of the area under the curve (AUC). Results. A screening technique has been developed to identify individuals at high risk for developing age-related cataract among people aged 40 -99 based on data on chronic diseases associated with age-related cataract, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular diseases, varicose veins of the lower extremities, and diabetes mellitus, taking into account age standardization. Data on the level of risk for developing age-related cataract made it possible to develop an algorithm for stratifying population into target groups, depending on the required level of sensitivity and specificity. Conclusion. Based on the data on cardiometabolic diseases associated with age-related cataract, a methodology was developed that allows to establish the risk level for developing age-related cataract among people aged 40-99, and an algorithm for stratification into target groups. Scope of application. The acquired knowledge can be used in the process of developing differentiated measures of primary prevention of age-related cataract, taking into account target groups and the established modifiable risk factors.

Published: August 2022

Background: Human Anatomy always causes major hindrances to the learning of nursing students. We designed this study to observe the effectiveness of the "two-line and six-stage" (TLSS) teaching mode based on model making in teaching Human Anatomy in nursing.Methods: One class in the nursing major in Grade 20 was randomly selected as the control group, in which the traditional teaching mode was adopted; while, another class in the same major and grade was selected as the observation group, in which the TLSS teaching mode was adopted. After the course teaching was completed, these students in both groups were compared from the perspective of the final theoretical examination and physical specimen assessment. Besides, the evaluation of the teaching effectiveness of these students from both groups was also investigated. Results: The observation group outperformed the control group in both theoretical examination and physical specimen assessment, which was specifically manifested in six evaluation items, including the novelty of teaching methods, the elimination of the difficult points of the course, the mobilization of the learning enthusiasm, the interestingness of the course teaching, its effects on clinical thinking training, and the interpretation of the knowledge. Conclusion: The TLSS teaching mode based on model making can improve the effectiveness in teaching Human Anatomy.

Although Mean Motion Resonances (MMRs) only reflect the orbital relations between part planets of some systems, the discovery of MMRs feature has promotes the study of the evolution of multi-planet systems. To better study orbital relations between all planets, we calculated planetary observation data of all multi-planet systems with the concept of ratio parameter and deviation rate. In this way, orbital relations between all planets of any system can be displayed in a clearer quantification way, including MMRs planets. Through comparing ratio parameters and counting deviation rates, we found more orbital features and summarized them into the Shared Rules between Planetary Orbits. The Shared Rules describe common regularities between planetary orbits, embodying the essence of logarithmic spiral. From the Shared Rules, we derived related equations and principles. We will show explanations. Although all systems are controlled by the same central gravitation, not every system clearly displays the Shared Rules because of varying disturbances and observation limitations. Calculations show, of the discovered 96 systems containing four and more exoplanets, 83 display the Shared Rules. Of the 335 period ratios consisting of 431 confirmed exoplanets of the 96 systems, 16.12% ratios show the absolute values of the deviation rates bigger than 40 per cent. Big deviation rates usually suggest some influences, imply planetary absence and migration, and affect the display of the Shared Rules. The Shared Rules can help to show planet migration and absence, calculate the orbits of migratory, disappeared and undetected planets, learn about the changes of planetary configurations, and study the evolution of multi-planet systems.

Using passwords, pin-codes, facial recognition, voice recognition, and the OTP (One Time Password) two-way verification protocol, work fine but are subject to easy access due to human errors. Thus, it is very easy for a hacker to gain access to systems using social engineering techniques. According to SANs, the weakest vulnerability in every system is the end user. We propose a system to patch and reduce the human errors that make these user authentication and verification systems vulnerable. A proposed security API system, verifies user identity remotely and instantaneously using artificial intelligence and facial recognition authentication process where a real-time image and video feed of the user’s face will be matched by comparing the records of the user in a software’s database (three-way verification). This is different from the usual facial recognition system as it uses real-time facial gestures by using different levels of security during user authentication and verification. The standard password authentication is an auxiliary to this new type of authentication, where the two-factor authentication is taken into consideration. The real-time face capture does not take pictures but rather records the facial gestures of the end-user. This is done to prevent hackers from using images to trick the system into thinking the authentication is satisfied. According to research, it is realized that people give out their passwords and pin-codes to others to perform transactions on their behalf. For example, in the case of banking, a user can give out his or her banking credentials to his or her friend to make a withdrawal on his or her behalf. In this scenario, there is no way the banking system will be able to identify the person making the withdrawal since it assumes it is the actual customer due to a successful login. The propose system eliminates these flaws in existing authentication systems by adding a visual authentication.

This paper covers the design, algorithm and simulation of an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) designed for Pakistani industries. The AGV is named as ‘Mover’ and it is designed to carry a load of 30Kg in shortest time possible. Two algorithms were studied and implemented to test its overall productivity. Shortest Job First (SJF) schedules maximum number of jobs in given shift time, based on production time of each job on each station. These scheduled jobs then transported to individual workstations using shortest path using A* routing algorithm. The simulation results state that the comparison between a Mover having capabilities of scheduling and shortest part following with manual labour display a difference of around 80% when it comes to efficiency in a production line. Furthermore, the results also that single AGV processed jobs with 95% efficiency while the two labour processed same jobs with 10.85% of efficiency rate

Given the challenges that fast-changing SARS-CoV-2 variants have caused in terms of rapid spread and reduced vaccine efficacy, a rapid and cost-effective assay that can detect new and emerging variants is greatly needed worldwide. We have successfully applied the xenonucleic acid-based molecular-clamping technology to develop a multiplex RT-qPCR assay for SARS-CoV-2 multivariant detection. The assay was tested on 649 nasopharyngeal swab samples that were collected from California and Ohio. The assay was able to correctly identify all 36 Delta variant samples as it accurately detected D614G, T478K and L452R mutations. In addition, the assay was able to correctly identify all 34 Omicron samples by detecting K417N, T478K, N501Y and D614G mutations. This technique reliably detects a variety of variants and has an analytical sensitivity of 100 copies/mL. In conclusion, this novel assay can serve as a rapid and cost-effective tool to facilitate large-scale detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants.
HealthBlock: A Modular Framework for a Collaborative Sharing of Electronic Health Records Based on Blockchain
Authors: abdelgalil LEINA Nazar , Mejri Mohamed
Published: August 2022

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) play an important role in our life. However, most of the time, they are scattered and saved on different databases belonging to distinct institutions (hospitals, laboratories, clinics, etc.) geographically distributed across one or many countries. Due to this decentralization and the heterogeneity of the different involved systems, the medical staff are facing difficulties in correctly collaborating by sharing, protecting, and tracking their patient’s electronic health-record history to provide them the best cares. Also,

patients have no control on their private EHRs. Blockchain has many promising futures useful for the healthcare domain because it provides a better solution for sharing data while preserving the integrity, the interoperability, the availability, and even the privacy than classical client-server architectures used to manage EHRS.

This paper proposes a modular framework called HealthBlock for a collaborative sharing EHRs and their privacy-preserving with a granular access control. Different technologies have been combined to access this goal. the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) technology stores and shares patients’ EHRs in distributed Off-Chain storage and ensures the record’s immutability; the Hyper-ledger Indy gives patients full control over their EHRs and the Hyper-ledger Fabric store the patient access control policy and delegations.
New evidence on the quagga mussel spread south to the Alps from an eDNA approach

The dreissenid quagga mussel, Dreissena rostriformis bugensis, is an invasive species native to the Black Sea region that has recently spread to Western Europe. This organism has recently colonized Swiss northern perialpine lakes, causing major changes to aquatic ecosystems and impacts on human activities. Due to its competitiveness, the quagga mussel takes advantage of human mediated transport to reach new environments. Therefore, the management of quagga mussel should seek to prevent further spread and minimize its negative impact. With this aim, the early detection by environmental DNA (eDNA) methods is increasingly applied in freshwater systems. Here, an approach based on species-specific primer targeting the quagga mussel from eDNA was applied to Lake Lugano and Lake Maggiore, two large perialpine lakes at risk of invasion due international tourism. Our results are the first to show that the quagga mussel has spread south of the Alps and suggest that in both the lakes the colonization is in the early stages. Additionally, they indicate that the eDNA approach is a powerful tool for the early detection of quagga mussel invasions, and may be applied to reduce the resulting ecological and economic impacts.

Studies in genetically modified mice establish that essential roles of endogenous neuromedin U (NMU) are anorexigenic function and metabolic regulation, indicating that NMU is expected to be a potential target for anti-obesity agents. However, in central administration experiments in rats, inconsistent results have been obtained, and the essential role of NMU energy metabolism in rats remain unclear. This study aims to elucidate the role of endogenous NMU in rats. We generated NMU knockout (KO) rats that unexpectedly showed no difference in body weight, adiposity, circulating metabolic markers, body temperature, locomotor activity, and food consumption in both normal and high fat chow feeding. Furthermore, unlike reported in mice, expressions of Nmu and NMU receptor type 2 (Nmur2) mRNA were hardly detectable in the rat hypothalamic nuclei regulating feeding and energy metabolism, including the arcuate nucleus and paraventricular nucleus, while Nmu was expressed in pars tuberalis and Nmur2 was expressed in the ependymal cell layer of the third ventricle. These results indicate that the species–specific expression pattern of Nmu and Nmur2 may allow NMU to have distinct functions across species, and that endogenous NMU does not function as an anorexigenic hormone in rats.

Objection: Hyperhomocysteine (HHcy) is considered to increase the risk of Sarcopenia (SA) and remains controversial. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between homocysteine (Hcy) and SA in the Chinese elderly population. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 441 elderly patients, who underwent the measurements of muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance, and serum Hcy from 2017 to 2021 at Geriatric Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, was carried out to assess the relationship between SA and Hcy. All baseline characteristics and laboratory examination of subjects were collected and analyzed by specific personnel. The strength of association between Hcy and the risk of SA was analyzed by multivariate logistic regression to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Among the 441 subjects, 161 (36.51%) cases were diagnosed as SA, and 343 of them were found with HHcy. A significant association was detected between SA and serum Hcy per 1μmol/L increase(adjusted OR = 1.068, 95% CI = 1.021–1.117, p =0.004). In a gender-based subgroup analysis, the subjects with HHcy had an increased risk of SA in female group (adjusted OR 1.098, 95%CI 1.009–1.197, p = 0.036), but not in males. Furthermore, HHcy had a significantly positively associated with SA in the very elderly whose age was more than or equal to 85 (adjusted OR = 1.112, 95% CI = 1.037–1.193, P = 0.003).Conclusions: Hcy has a positive association with SA in Chinese urban population, especially in the elderly females. That suggests a hypothesis that the downward adjustment of Hcy might decrease the risk of SA.

Reservoir ecological dispatching is a complex system problem with multi-objective, multiple-criteria and multiple-phase. This study establishes a multi-objective ecological dispatching model in Changchun city of Yinma River Basin based on the water demand of social economic development, river ecology, and the constraint of reservoir characteristic parameters. Taking the advantages of particle swarm optimisation (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA), a PSO-GA hybrid algorithm is proposed and applied to solve the schemes of ecological dispatching model considering different ecological flow requirements. The annual mean scheduling results show that the three scheduling schemes basically achieve the objectives of river ecological base flow scheduling. While for the ecological suitable flow, the guarantee rate of Dehui section in RGOS1/2/3 scheme is 79.79%/87.95%/96.08%, and that of Nongan section is 82.98%/90.85%/96.45%. The scheduling results of typical years show that the water security situation in the study area is not optimistic, but the river ecological environment can be greatly improved by reservoir ecological dispatching. Finally, the high quality and stable search performance of the hybrid PSO-GA proposed in this study is verified by comparing with other algorithms. The mean value and standard of the objective function of the 20 simulation results calculated by PSO-GA are 97.75% and 0.11 respectively, which are better than other algorithms.

The use of degradable chelating agents to facilitate phytoextraction is a promising low-cost method for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils. However, there are few studies on how plants and soils respond to the chelating agents. In this study, the responses of French marigold(Tagetes patula L.) and soil cadmium (Cd) to the chelator tetrasodium glutamate (GLDA) was investigated in a 180 d field trial. Five GLDA treatments (0,292.5, 585, 1170, and 2340 kg hm− 2) were carried out in a Cd-contaminated soil (0.47 mg kg− 1) under French marigold plantation. The results showed that the application of GLDA significantly increased the exchangeable Cd and cell wall Cd accumulations by 42.13% and 9.39% (p < 0.05), respectively. Furthermore, increases occurred in soil pH, as well as DOC and DTPA-Cd contents with increasing the total amount of GLDA. The composite application of GLDA (2340 kg hm− 2) with French marigold reduced the total soil Cd content by 7.59% compared with the soil background. Altogether, results of this study suggested that the application of GLDA can effectively activate soil Cd and enhance the capability of French marigold for the remediation of Cd-contaminated soils.
