Published: February 2024

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental contaminants that are produced by the incomplete combustion of organic sources and are widely found in soils. This present research was carried out to evaluate the concentrations and toxicological risk assessment of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's sixteen priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (16 priority PAHs) in soils from the vicinity of an oil spillage site in Delta State of Nigeria. The level of pollution and potential toxicological health hazards of the PAHs were assessed in surface soil samples using soxhlet extraction of and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Thirteen out of the sixteen USEPA priority PAHs were detected in the soil sample. The concentrations of PAHs in the petroleum-contaminated soils in this investigation ranged from 0.01181 ppm to 1.16054 ppm, with the total estimated concentration of the 16 priority PAHs being 5.6713 ppm. Furthermore, the distribution of the PAHs in the study area was predominated by LMW PAHs (62%) over HMW PAHs (38%). Additionally, the total toxicity equivalency quotients TEQ (B[a]Peq) result of the carcinogenic potency of the USEPA priority PAHs was calculated as 0.08689 ppm (8.689%) and was discovered to be within the Canadian TEQ (B[a]Peq) threshold of 0.6 ppm. This suggests that the soil in the study area is safe based on the Canadian TEQ (B[a]Peq) standard and does not constitute a carcinogenic risk. However, the long-term bioaccumulation of these low quantities of PAHs in human has been found to constitute a potential health concern due to bioaccumulation in living systems.

Published: February 2024

Fungi were isolated from effluent released by petrochemical refinery and screened for their tolerance to 50 mg/L concentration of naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene under agitation condition of 150 rpm and ambient temperature over a period of 21 days. Samples were analysed for residual PAH concentrations using HPLC and tolerance ability were calculated in percentages. Fungal growth in mineral salt medium supplemented with PAH was measured in dry weight of mycelial biomass was used as index for assessing their tolerance ability. Out of the 22 fungi isolated, only four were identified as Aspergillus, Talaromyces, Fusarium and Trichoderma species to exhibit tolerance to naphthalene (94.6, 96.9, 99.7 and 99.8%), phenanthrene (91.1, 92.2, 99.5 and 99.8%) and pyrene (89.4, 90.5, 92,6 and 94.2%) respectively. Low molecular weight PAHs (naphthalene and phenanthrene) were better tolerated compared to high molecular weight pyrene. Based on findings made in this study, the four isolates with higher tolerance to PAHs could be recommended for bioremediation of PAH contaminated environments.

Authors: Muhammad Binta Aminu
Published: February 2024

Carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is becoming a more significant pathogen because of the grave clinical risk it poses which affects patient’s treatment outcome. This study aimed to survey for carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) among patients attending Aminu  Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano State, Nigeria. A total of 600 clinical samples including urine, sputum and swabs were collected and screened. Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated and confirmed using culture, microscopy and biochemical test according to standard microbiological techniques. Phenotypic carbapenem resistant and carbapenemase production were detected using meropenem discs diffusion method and modified Hodge test respectively. Genotypic carbapenemase productions were confirmed by detecting the presence of blaKPC genes using PCR and Gel electrophoresis. Antibiotics susceptibility profiles of the CRKP isolates were evaluated using disc diffusion method and interpreted using CLSI protocols. The study revealed the incidence of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection as 14% with the highest occurrence in sputum (18%) and the lowest in swab (10%). Of the total number of isolated K. pneumoniae, 14.3% were found to be carbapenem resistant. Up to 75% of CRKP isolates were found to produce carbapenamase and harbor blaKPC genes. Antibiotic susceptibility profile of these isolates revealed colistin and tigecycline as the most active antibiotics in vitro (92%).The isolates were found to be generally resistant  to cefepime, ceftriaxone, cefuroxime, cotrimoxazole and ciproflaxin (100%). Up to 8% of the isolates were sensitive to Gentamicin and Nalidixic acid, 25% to Nitrofurantoin, 50% to Minocycline and 17% to Amikacin. This study verifies the existence of carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates that are highly resistant to other antibiotics in patients attending AKTH Kano which is an indication of increase in drug resistance. This requires the need for newer tactics in infection control to prevent the spread of carbapenem resistant isolates.

Published: February 2024

The Yolanda Permanent Housing Program (YPHP) in the Philippines was designed to resettle the poor families affected by typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan in 2013. There were 1,992 units granted to the component city but as of July of 2022, only 1,067 units were awarded. Hence, this study determined the satisfaction of the beneficiaries of YPHP and identified the challenges they encountered when they resettled at the site. Likewise, it investigated the difference in their satisfaction relative to length of stay and family size. Using the descriptive-comparative approach, this study was responded by 283 beneficiaries determined using simple random sampling. It utilized a validated and reliability-tested researcher-made questionnaire and checklist. Generally, their satisfaction was rated high. However, the areas that need continuous improvement are community development and relocation process which were rated low. Meanwhile, there were challenges identified in terms of application and documentation processing, relocation and transfer, occupancy, and livability. Also, there was no difference in their satisfaction as to length of stay and family size. However, in terms of length of stay, there was a difference in safety and suitability of location. Given the findings, continuous improvement by the implementers is necessary.
DSF Cryptography by Rotating Left the Samples Binary Values
Authors: Al Qadi Ziad , Jaber Qazem , Abu Zalata Mohammad
Published: February 2024

A novel method of digital speech file cryptography will be proposed. The method will apply speech encryption-decryption at the bit level. The binary values of the speech samples will be shifted left to a defined number of rotating left digits. The private key will determine the length of the set of the bits to be rotated will be selected, the starting bit from where to start rotating and the number of rotating digits. The speech sample value will be represented in binary using 64_bits binary representation. Because of the fractional decimal value of the speech sample, changing the LSBs of the binary value may not affect the speech sample, so the starting bit for selecting the bits to be rotated will be investigated, and this bit will be used in the encryption-decryption process to get a damaged encrypted speech file. The private key will contains the starting bit; the bits set length and the number of rotating left digits, conditional selections of the private key value will be provided based on analyzing the quality of the encrypted speech files. The encryption and decryption process of the proposed method will be implemented in one round using a simple rotate left operation. The proposed method will not need key generation process; the values included in the private key will be directly used to apply speech encryption-decryption. The proposed method will be implemented using various speech files, the obtained results will be analyzed using quality, speed and sensitivity analysis to prove the efficiency of the proposed method.
INFLUÊNCIA DOS DIFERENTES TIPOS DE FADIGA NAS RESPOSTAS FISIOLÓGICAS, PERCEPTIVAS E NO DESEMPENHO ATLÉTICO EM JOGADORES DE BASQUETEBOL
Authors: Vretaros Adriano
Published: February 2024

Treinamentos sistemáticos e competições são gatilhos fisiológicos para o desencadeamento da fadigabilidade. Portanto, o objetivo desta pesquisa é explorar a influência dos diferentes tipos de fadiga nas respostas fisiológicas, perceptivas e no desempenho atlético em jogadores de basquetebol através de uma revisão de literatura. A consulta em quatro bases eletrônicas (Science Direct, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scielo) permitiu-nos eleger 36 artigos científicos primários para discussão acerca da fadigabilidade em conjunto com 50 referências secundárias suplementares. Fadiga é um fenômeno multifacetado que se expressa regularmente nas sessões de treinamento e jogos. Quanto à tipificação, é classificada em periférica (neuromuscular e metabólica), central e mental. Todavia, alguns estudos investigaram a fadiga de forma agrupada, a saber: neuromuscular e metabólica, neuromuscular e central e, neuromuscular com mental. Boa parte dos procedimentos de indução da fadiga eram agudos e com características funcionais, respeitando a validade ecológica. Os resultados preferiram enfatizar análises em cima de variáveis objetivas em detrimento as subjetivas. Sofreram influência da fadiga aspectos fisiológicos (concentração de biomarcadores, intensidade do esforço), perceptuais (autopercepção do esforço, avaliação da ansiedade e estresse) e de desempenho (avaliações cinemáticas, habilidades específicas, respostas eletromiográficas, testes de rendimento atlético), denotando efeitos de queda, elevação ou neutralidade. Contudo, torna-se difícil estabelecer correlações interpretativas mais aprofundadas destes resultados, devido à dissimilaridade existente entre procedimentos de indução, tipos de fadiga analisadas e, categorias competitivas. Enfim, monitoramento da fadigabilidade atrelado a estratégias recuperativas compatíveis consegue otimizar a aptidão física, reduzir o estresse fisiológico e cognitivo, minimizando a incidência lesional.
Miedos y olores. Emociones y sentidos en una cárcel de varones
Authors: Guzmán Ramírez Gezabel
Published: February 2024

El miedo es inherente a nuestra naturaleza humana. Sin embargo, para Zygmunt Bauman (2008) existen tres peligros que lo acrecientan: 1) los que amenazan el cuerpo; 2) los que amenazan el orden social, y 3) los que afectan el lugar de la persona. En este artículo se abordan algunas amenazas al cuerpo que propician el miedo en un escenario en particular: la cárcel. 
Para ello, se empleó el método cualitativo de historias de vida a través de entrevistas abiertas, en las cuales se rescata la narrativa de Raúl, Alberto y Manuel, quienes estuvieron privados de su libertad en una prisión de la Ciudad de México. La experiencia narrada está enmarcada por sentidos como el olfato que acompañan lo vivido en la cárcel. 
La apuesta metodológica está orientada desde la antropología de las emociones y de los sentidos a partir de las siguientes preguntas: ¿qué amenazas al cuerpo se experimentan en prisión?, ¿a qué se le teme al estar privado de la libertad?, y ¿qué relación existe entre el miedo y el olfato en un ámbito carcelario?
Las respuestas versan en torno a la enfermedad y su olor, el miedo al contagio y la presencia de plagas, así como el miedo al olvido, el “olor a cárcel” y el miedo constante de morir en reclusión.

Published: February 2024

La COVID-19 reveló que la operación del sistema capitalista y el modelo neoliberal depende de mantener las desigualdades sociales y de sexo en la división del trabajo. En este contexto de crisis sanitaria, las mujeres experimentaron una mayor carga en el cuidado doméstico y de personas. Las estudiantes universitarias no fueron la excepción, por lo que vieron afectadas sus trayectorias educativas y experimentaron estados emocionales que requirieron de apoyo profesional. El presente trabajo analiza las condiciones socioestructurales y el peso de los imaginarios de género en estudiantes universitarias de pregrado y posgrado de una institución de educación superior en México, a través de la exploración de la gestión emocional desarrollada para cumplir con las demandas académicas, domésticas y remuneradas. Se aplicaron 13 entrevistas semiestructuradas (vía Zoom) a estudiantes de entre 20 y 40 años. Los datos se analizaron desde un marco socioantropológico de las emociones y feminista.
Las estudiantes enfrentaron la exigencia del cumplimiento de las responsabilidades domésticas; la mayoría las asumieron como suyas e incluso las actividades académicas fueron relegadas. Las estudiantes que también realizaron labores remuneradas desarrollaron estrategias para cumplir con las tres actividades. El cuidado y la convivencia familiar se destacó como un factor crucial en la vida de estas mujeres, influyendo las formas en cómo equilibraban sus responsabilidades académicas, familiares y remuneradas. Se identifica una gestión emocional pendular entre la culpa, la depresión, la felicidad y la esperanza para lidiar con estas tensiones. Los espacios terapéuticos representaron espacios seguros para expresar sus sentimientos y desafiar las expectativas sociales de género. La reconfiguración de los procesos socioemocionales para mediar el agotamiento, la molestia, la culpa y el miedo fue central y revela el lugar que las mujeres ocupan en la estructura social y no sólo su vida intrapsíquica.

Published: February 2024

La microfluídica, disciplina que estudia el comportamiento de fluidos en canales microscópicos, ha permitido importantes avances en campos tan diversos como la microelectrónica, la biotecnología o la química. La investigación en microfluídica se basa fundamentalmente en el uso de chips microfluídicos, dispositivos de bajo coste que permiten realizar experimentos de laboratorio utilizando una cantidad reducida de fluido. Estos sistemas, no obstante, requieren mecanismos avanzados de control para poder alcanzar con precisión los caudales y presiones necesarios en los experimentos. En este artículo presentamos el diseño de un controlador predictivo basado en modelo destinado a regular los flujos de fluido en uno de estos sistemas. Los resultados obtenidos, tanto mediante simulaciones como en experimentos reales realizados sobre el dispositivo, demuestran que el control predictivo es una técnica idónea para controlar estos sistemas, especialmente teniendo en cuenta todas las restricciones existentes.

Can Artificial Intelligence (AI) replace the judge?
Authors:   Pravni fakultet Sveučilišta u Rijeci, Bodul Dejan
Published: February 2024

Even though the current financial situation of the judiciary in terms of working conditions means that a few courts have relatively satisfactory working conditions, while the majority are regularly faced with unfilled judicial and administrative positions, a lack of basic material and technical resources for smooth work, and lack of or inadequate premises for staff accommodation and work, the author will ask a doctrinally quite topical question: Can artificial intelligence replace the judge? EU law does not specify the concept of the court but leaves this question to the legislature of each state, which is why this question is regulated differently in EU states and thus represents a greater challenge for the future. In addition, the dynamic normative activity in this area at the European level requires further study and adaptation of the regulation. The main objective of this text is to present some of the potential problems, so a sketch of the challenges and possible answers that this text will offer can be considered as a modest contribution to the discussion on the inclusion of AI in litigation.

Published: February 2024

Between 150 and 200 million migrant workers are currently living and working around the globe. Most often, employment and work of migrant workers is accompanied by lack of stability and security of employment, as well as administrative, but also linguistic and cultural barriers, and finally numerous stereotypes and prejudices. On the other hand, working in agriculture also involves facing a series of specific challenges that are especially emphasized when it comes to migrants as seasonal workers in agriculture. An additional layer of complexity is introduced by once we take into account the gender perspective, considering the emphasized feminization of migration, as well as the feminization of agriculture. Of particular importance in the context of overcoming at least some of the mentioned challenges related to seasonal work of migrant women in agriculture in the Western Balkans is the Open Balkan initiative, which aims, among other, to achieve the free movement of workers and equal access to the labour market in member states.

Hâkim el-Cüşemî’nin et-Tehzîb’i günümüze ulaşmış en mufassal Mu'tezilî tefsir olması, Cârullah ez-Zemahşerî’nin el-Keşşâf’ı ise Kur’ân’ın dil bilimsel inceliklerini aktaran, diğer tefsirlere de kaynaklık eden bir başyapıt olması açısından iki önemli eserdir. Bu eserler müelliflerinin Mu'tezilî kimlikleri nedeniyle ayrı bir önemi de haizdir.
Müfessirlerin kendisinden bigane kalamadığı el-Keşşâf’a dair bazı kaynaklar, Zemahşerî’nin Cüşemî’nin tefsirinden etkilenerek ilgili eseri kaleme aldığını, müfessirler Keşşâf’ı kaynak edindiği gibi, Zemahşerî’nin de Cüşemî’nin eserini temel aldığını aktarır. Bazı kaynaklar ise Zemahşerî’nin Keşşâf-ı Kadîm ve Keşşâf-ı Cedîd şeklinde iki eseri bulunduğundan söz eder.
Çalışmada; et-Tehzîb ve el-Keşşâf’ın rivayete dayalı mukayesesinde yanıltıcı sonuçlara ulaşılabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır. et-Tehzîb aracılığı ile Keşşâf’ta aktarılan görüşlerin önemli kısmının asli kaynağına ulaşılabilecek kadar iki tefsir benzerlikler taşısa da Zemahşerî’nin tefsirini meânî ve beyân ilimlerini esas alarak kaleme aldığı, bu açıdan kendine özgü bir eser olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Zemahşerî’nin daha önce hacimli bir çalışma daha yaptığı, muhtasar tutma amacıyla Keşşâf’ta kaynak belirtmekten kaçınmış olabileceği ifade edilmiştir.

Abstract. Mediterranean cyclones are the primary driver of many types of surface weather extremes in the Mediterranean region, the association with extreme rainfall being the most established. Although smaller in size compared to Atlantic cyclones, they share a similar synoptic structure organised in distinct air streams, such as the warm conveyor belt and the dry intrusion, and are associated with low-level temperature fronts. The large-scale characteristics of a Mediterranean cyclone, the properties of the associated airflows, the interaction with the topography around the Mediterranean basin, and the season of occurrence, all contribute in determining its surface impacts. Here, we take these factors into account to establish statistical links between Mediterranean cyclones and weather compounds of two types, namely co-occurring rain-wind and wave-wind extremes. Specifically, compound extremes are attributed to a cyclone if they fall within the system's impact area, using a definition that is expressly tested on Mediterranean cyclones and on the compound selection. Our results show that the majority of Mediterranean compound rain-wind and wave-wind extremes occur in the neighbourhood of a Mediterranean cyclone, with peaks exceeding 80 %; the proportion of cyclone-related compounds is highest when considering transition seasons, and rain-wind events. Winter cyclones show highest compound frequency, matching with the peak winter occurrence of distinctively baroclinic cyclones. A novelty of this work, the de-construction of the cyclones' impact areas based on the presence of objectively-identified air streams and fronts, reveals a high incidence of both types of compound extremes below warm conveyor belt ascent regions, of wave-wind extremes below dry intrusions.
Modelling transient thermal processes in the lithosphere: application to the NW Pannonian basin

Abstract. The reconstruction of thermal evolution in sedimentary basins is a key input for constraining geodynamic processes and geo-energy resource potential. We present a methodology to reproduce the most important transient thermal footprints accompanying basin formation: lithosphere extension and sedimentation. The forward model is extended with data assimilation to constrain models with temperature measurements. We apply the methodology to the NW part of Hungary. Realistic past- and present-day temperature predictions for the entire lithosphere are achieved, suggesting the relatively uniform, but strong attenuation of the mantle lithosphere through extension, and relatively small variations in the present-day thermal lithosphere thickness. The new temperature model allows an improved estimation of lithosphere rheology and the interpretation of mantle xenolith origins.

Abstract. A new retrieval algorithm to obtain vertical profiles of the aerosol extinction coefficient from the measurements of the scattered solar light in the limb viewing geometry made by the OMPS-LP instrument is presented. The method employs the normalization of the limb radiances to the solar irradiance in contrast to the normalization by a limb measurement at an upper tangent height, which is used by most of the other published limb-scatter retrievals. The main advantage of this approach is a nearly complete elimination of the dependence of the retrieval results on the prior aerosol extinction profile used in the retrieval. This makes the retrieval well suitable to analyze the observation scenes with highly elevated aerosol plumes as occurred after the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption in January 2022. The results from the new approach were compared to independent data from SAGE III/ISS and OSIRIS. In general, an agreement within 25 % between the different data products was observed although larger differences were seen after very strong volcanic eruptions and wildfires. The new data product was used to investigate the evolution of the aerosol plume after the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption.

Abstract. A mixed statistical-physical approach is used to emulate the spatio-temporal variability of the Antarctic ice sheet surface mass balance and runoff of a regional climate model. We demonstrate the ability of this simple method to extend existing MAR simulations to other periods, scenarios or climate models, that were not originally processed through the regional climate model. This method is useful to quickly populate ensembles of surface mass balance and runoff which are needed to constrain ice sheet model ensembles. After correcting the distribution of equilibrium climate sensitivity of 16 climate models, we find a likely contribution of surface mass balance to sea level rise of 0.4 to 2.2 cm from 1900 to 2010, and -3.4 to -0.1 cm from 2100 to 2099 under the SSP1-2.6 scenario, versus -4.4 to -1.4 cm under SSP2-4.5 and -7.8 to -4.0 cm under SSP5-8.5. Based on a more limited and uncorrected ensemble, we find a considerable uncertainty in the contribution to sea level from 2000 to 2200: between -10 and -1 cm in SSP1-2.6 and between -33 and +6 cm in SSP5-8.5. Based on a runoff criteria in our reconstructions, we identify the emergence of surface conditions prone to hydrofracturing. A majority of ice shelves could remain safe from hydrofracturing under the SSP1-2.6 scenario, but all the Antarctic ice shelves could be prone to hydrofracturing before 2130 under the SSP5-8.5 scenario.
