Hybrid Teaching Reform of Veterinary Microbiology Based on the Combination of Virtual Simulation and Problem-Based Learning
Authors: Liao Jiedan
Published: September 2024

The Veterinary Microbiology course is centered around the diagnosis and testing of pathogenic microorganisms, with the core value of “moral education and character development.” It reconstructs multidimensional teaching resources by integrating disciplinary achievements with clinical cases and implements a hybrid teaching approach combining virtual simulation and problem-based learning (PBL) through the “three stages + four models + three reflections” framework. Dual-qualification teachers employ various teaching methods, create a “six-in-one” model for ideological and political education, and conduct formative assessments based on the principles of diversified objectives and process emphasis. The hybrid teaching reform addresses issues such as fragmented knowledge, insufficient class hours, weak animal disease diagnostic abilities among students, limited application and expansion of knowledge points, and students’ lack of proactive critical thinking skills. The application of hybrid teaching has shown significant advantages and effectiveness, providing a reference for teaching reform in similar microbiology courses.

Authors: Song Xiwen , Wang Zhuoqun , Mijiti Rehelaimu , Zeng Shan , Huang Chuanyi , Sun Haonan , Liu Hangkuan , A Geru , Li Yongle
Published: September 2024

Objective: To investigate the association of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) with the long-term prognosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients and to determine whether the combination of obesity indices can be used for risk stratification. Method: A multifactorial Cox regression analysis was performed using 3-year follow-up data from 220 STEMI patients to explore the relationship between obesity indicators and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). The incidence of MACEs was also compared by combining BMI and WHtR. Results: WC was found to reduce the risk of MACEs within 25 months after myocardial infarction [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.92–0.98, P < 0.001]. However, this effect was not significant beyond 25 months (HR = 0.98, 95% CI = 0.97–1.07, P = 0.49). Neither BMI nor WHtR were significantly associated with the risk of MACEs. The incidence of MACEs was highest in patients with low body weight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2) and WHtR > 0.5, and lowest in obese patients (BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2) with WHtR > 0.5. Conclusions: BMI, WC, and WHtR were not significantly associated with the long-term prognosis of STEMI patients. However, the combination of BMI and WHtR can be useful for further stratifying patient risk.

Ultrasonic-Assisted Extraction of Fucoxanthin from Marine Macroalga Padina australis: Optimization, Bioactivity, and Structural Characterization
Authors: Flora L. Antony Catherine , Shanmugam Kirubanandan , Sahadevan Renganathan
Published: September 2024

Macroalgae serve as a potential feedstock for fucoxanthin extraction. Fucoxanthin, a bioactive pigment found in the chloroplasts of marine algae, exhibits significant pharmacological properties. As a member of the carotenoid family, fucoxanthin plays a crucial role in both the food and pharmaceutical industries. This research explores the effects of ultrasonics on the extraction of fucoxanthin from the marine macroalga Padina australis. In addition, various extraction techniques and the influence of solvents on the efficient separation of fucoxanthin from algae have been studied and compared. Using methanol, chloroform, and a combination of methanol and chloroform (1:1, v/v), conventional fucoxanthin extraction from Padina australis yielded 8.12 mg of fucoxanthin per gram of biomass. However, the ultrasonic-assisted extraction resulted in a significantly higher yield of 16.9 mg of fucoxanthin per gram of biomass, demonstrating that the use of ultrasonics enhances the extraction rate compared to conventional methods. Therefore, the efficient separation of fucoxanthin from Padina australis is highly dependent on ultrasonic-assisted extraction. The process conditions for the extraction were optimized to maximize the yield of fucoxanthin from seaweeds. The following parameters were selected for optimization studies: moisture content, particle size, mixing speed, extraction temperature, extraction duration, and solid-to-solvent ratio. The extracted fucoxanthin exhibited various biological activities, including antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, and its structure was elucidated through FTIR and NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, thin-layer chromatography of the crude algae extracts confirmed the presence of fucoxanthin in the marine algae. Given these findings, the optimized extraction process holds the potential for scaling up to large-scale fucoxanthin production. Fucoxanthin, as a potent pharmacological agent, offers promising applications in the treatment of various ailments.

Published: September 2024

Driver sleepiness is one of the most contributing factors in car accidents. Preventions to this problem have been made with various types of driver’s sleepiness detection system, such as systems based on face detection and electrocardiography approaches. However, these approaches require sophisticated systems and impractical design that are not suitable for the low-cost wearable device for daily use. Photoplethysmography based sensor is very favorable to be implemented in the low-cost wearable device to monitor the driver’s heart rate due to its reliability in measurement and simplicity in design. In this study we propose a photoplethysmography based wearable device that is low-cost, wearable, simple to build, and good reliability. We have shown that our wearable device exhibits less than 4% difference in average heart rate with the standard instruments, moreover, our low-cost wearable device is successfully detecting sleepiness based on heart rate reduction of the subjects, which in sleepy condition the heart rate decreases typically ~30 % from the normal condition. Here, we design a sleepiness detection device with 3 levels of sleepiness alarm based on heart rate reduction, furthermore, our wearable device is low-cost and practical to be used daily for the car driver.

DISCLOSING MONETARY TERMS OF R&D ALLIANCES
Authors: Levitas Edward , Singh Sarthak , McFayden M. Ann , Ahsan Mujtaba
Published: September 2024

We investigate how biotechnology and pharmaceutical R&D alliances operating in an emerging and uncertain environment affects the partner’s decisions to provide unmandated alliance monetary terms. We identify factors promoting R&D alliance partners' desire to disclose monetary arrangements, and factors compelling firms to conceal these arrangements. Voluntarily disclosed monetary arrangements of R&D alliances may impact the overall success of the alliance, partners' performance independent of the alliance, and future R&D costs. Disclosure likely lowers the future cost of capital for certain partners, reducing future R&D costs; yet, disclosure may inadvertently provide proprietary information to competitors. Biotechs seek partnership with pharmaceuticals with established track records in getting drugs to market. Pharmaceuticals seek partnerships with biotechs possessing skills, (i.e. R&D research). We contend the biotech partner's stock price uncertainty and near-term financial capital needs and the larger pharmaceutical firm's market experience will impact the decision to disclose alliance monetary arrangements. We find support for our hypotheses using Probit regressions.

GenerationZ, born between 1996 - 2010, are the most diverse generation, inclusive, digital natives andknown for their strong sense of individuality, social consciousness, and preference forauthenticity. Reports have estimated their global spending power of around $4.5 trillion by2025, making them one of the most significant target group. In this zeitgeist, there aremarket opportunities for fashion and beauty brands to capitalise on growing demand forgender-inclusive and emotionally resonant products. Through a comprehensive,mixed-methods research, this study observed a notable openness towards embracing soft masculinity and beauty-related products traditionally associated with femininity. However, the influence of peer pressure or gender stereotypes appeared to be less pronounced in beauty and skincare domain compared to fashion consumption.

Modern trends in the food industry target on nutritionally fortified food product development. The research concerns the development of a semi-finished product technology from sprouted wheat in catering establishments using a steam convection device for subsequent application to smoothies based on carrot juice with the sea buckthorn berries added. To obtain a semi-finished product, a man soaked and sprouted the grain until 1.8–2.0 mm seedlings appeared. The authors determined main parameters of soaking and germination (duration, grain-to-water ratio, wheat layer thickness) and wheat grain germination parameters (root length, humidity). They ground sprouted wheat grain to a homogeneous mass, packed in vacuum bags, treated with high pressure (HP technology) at a pressure of 3000 and 5500 MPa, exposure of 300 c and temperature (21 ± 3) °C to ensure shelf life. A man determined organoleptic, physico-chemical and microbiological parameters in the manufactured semi-finished product; developed recipes for smoothies with sprouted wheat grain. When adding 15% of chopped sprouted grain, the fiber content in the apple– carrot–sea buckthorn smoothie was 2.7 g/100 g, in the apple–kiwi smoothie – 4.1 g/100 g, whereas in the control sample the fiber content was 1.1 and 2.0 g/100 g, consequently. The sprouted wheat grain use in smoothies is an effective way to increase the nutritional value of ready-made drinks, as well as to improve its organoleptic properties.
The Teaching of Scandinavian Politics in Canadian Universities
Authors: Ugland Trygve
Published: September 2024

This paper offers a first status report and an analysis of the teaching of Scandinavian politics in Canadian universities. Based on a questionnaire sent out to the 57 affiliated member departments of the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA) in 2022, the paper identifies a clear mismatch between the attention paid to various aspects of the Scandinavian political model among academics and society more generally in Canada, and the very limited number of courses specifically dedicated to Scandinavian politics at Canadian universities during the 2018-2022 period.  The paper makes some recommendations on how to promote and integrate Scandinavian politics content more actively into university teaching. Moreover, the paper presents a dedicated course on Scandinavian politics at a Canadian university as an example. The importance of a comparative and interdisciplinary approach to Scandinavian politics is here highlighted.

The emergence of the epidemic in Poland at the beginning of 2020 was reflected in the economic activity, including the operationof mining enterprises. Many of them were forced to take immediate measures to protect the health and life of employees and theirfamilies, as well as maintain financial stability in connection with the economic slowdown that took place in the initial period of theepidemic. Preventive measures taken by the management contributed to limiting the spread of the coronavirus among mine workers.The article presents the characteristics of the crisis caused by the epidemiological situation due to the SARS-Cov-2 virus, the challengesfaced by mining enterprises during the pandemic, the directions of actions aimed at stopping the spread of the coronavirus amongemployees, and the epidemiological situation in one of the hard coal mining companies.
The Possibilities of Utilising Postoptimal Analysis for the Decision-Making on the Trends and Concentration of Coal Sales
Authors: Fuksa Dariusz
Published: September 2024

When developing optimal coal production and sales plans for coal mines, one is often faced with the necessity to modify them, whichimplies the rationality of such plans. This is achieved through postoptimal analysis, which allows coal mines’ production plans, formallyoptimal, to be modified. The article presents the possibilities of utilising postoptimal analysis developed as part of a method for therationalisation of production decisions with regard to the management of a coal company. The algorithms resulting from this analysis,accompanied by examples of their practical application, illustrate the possibility of presenting the economic effects of adjustments, ifany, quantitatively, which also includes adapting the coal production and sales plans to actual demand, both in terms of quantity andquality. The provided examples of adjustments to the optimal plan concern the “producer-recipient” relationship and the concentrationof coal sales.

Ocena stanu technicznego obudowy szybów i szybików, zgodnie z obowiązującym w Polsce od listopada 2016 r. przepisami, wymagawykonywania badań obmurza zarówno metodami nieniszczącymi jak i niszczącymi. Szczególne trudności sprawia pobieranie materiałudo badań niszczących z uwagi na brak urządzeń przystosowanych do wykonywania w szybach odwiertów rdzeniowych. Abyumożliwić bezpieczne i precyzyjne pobieranie prób do badań wytrzymałościowych w specyficznych warunkach szybów górniczychopracowano innowacyjny zestaw wiercący o napędzie pneumatycznym. Dla potwierdzenia skuteczności opracowanego urządzeniawykonano próby ruchowe w warunkach dołowych. Pobrane z obmurza rdzenie oceniono pod kątem jakości i precyzji wykonania.Następnie, w oparciu o wyniki badań niszczących popranych prób rdzeniowych, określono możliwości ich wykorzystania do ocenyparametrów wytrzymałościowych obudowy szybów.
