Introduction. The profitability of the dual-purpose system (DPS) is affected by low production efficiency andhigh production costs generated in traditional management. Studies based on the reduction of expenses and increaseof income, could suggest strategies to improve economic efficiency. Objective. Determine the technical y profitableefficiency of three production alternatives for bovine DPS in Meta, Colombia. Materials and methods. Seventy-twoBos taurus x Bos indicus cows were selected, starting lactation, fed under grazing, during the period 2016-2017, in a farm in Meta, Colombia. The cows and their calves were distributed in three groups; alternative 1 (MA1): milking 2 times a week until weaning (100 days), alternative 2 (MA2): milking 2 times a week until weaning (240 days), andtraditional (MT): milking daily until weaning (240 days). In the calves, the weight at birth and at 252 days of age (W252) were measured, and the daily weight gain (DWG) was estimated. In the cows, the birth rate (BR) and themilk produced per lactation (MPL) were measured. The productive response fed the economic analysis projected for a breeding stock of 100 cows. Results. The W252 and DWG between MA1 (189.30 kg; 0.64 kg/animal/day) and MA2(186.10 kg; 0.63 kg/animal/day) were similar (P>0.05), but higher (p<0.05) than those of the MT (155.10 kg; 0.54 kg/animal/day). BR presented the highest benefit for MA1 (0.84 calves/cow/year), followed by MA2 (0.74 calves/cow/year) and MT (0.68 calves/cow/year). The MPL was 1204.36 kg for MT, 303.74 kg for MA2 and 158.75 kg for MA1.MA1’s profitability outperformed MA2 and MT by 9.5 and 9.2 %, respectively. Conclusions. The MA1 reflected thegreater economic efficiency mainly due to the effect of the increase in the BR and the decrease in production costs.
Full study of characteristics of morphological adaptations in response to chronic exercise across musculoskeletal tissues: a systematic review
Authors: León Felix , Mestre Andres , Priego Lorelu , Vera Juan Carlos
Published: June 2023

To date, there is no systematic review that summarizes the morphological adaptations of the musculoskeletal system in response to chronic exercise. This systematic review selected original articles published in English between 2000 and 2020, with a clear exercise intervention and presenting a morphological change in the tissue under study, and covering human participants irrespective of age, gender or health condition. In total, 2819 records were identified. After removal of duplicates, title and abstract screening and full-text review, 67 records were included in the final analysis (6 for inter-vertebral disc, 6 for cartilage, 36 for bone, 2 for ligament, 9 for tendon and 7 for muscle). The most used interventions were aerobic, resistance, and plyometric exercise. Population ranged from children and healthy active people to individuals with a health condition. In conclusion, as a response to chronic exercise there are morphological adaptations in the tissues of the musculoskeletal system which vary from increased stiffness to an increase in cross-sectional area. Although tissues can adapt, several questions still linger, such as optimal dose and type of exercise, whether adaptations can occur in an injured tissue, and functional implications of these adaptations. Future research should address these questions.

Authors: Paździor-Czapula Katarzyna , Fiedorowicz Joanna , Otrocka-Domagała Iwona
Published: June 2023

This study presents a case of a primary hepatic myofibroblastic tumour in a 15-year-old European Shorthair female cat. The cat showed a gradual increase in liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase), and an abdominal ultrasound revealed a tumour located within the left lateral lobe of the liver. The tumour was surgically excised and sent for histopathology. Histopathological examination showed that the tumour was composed of homogeneous fusiform cells with low mitotic count, crowded within the perisinusoidal, portal and interlobular spaces, and entrapment of hepatocytes and bile ducts. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the tumour cells expressed vimentin and α-SMA, and were negative to desmin and cytokeratins. Based on the histological and immunohistochemical features, as well as some similarities with analogous entities in humans and animals, the tumour was classified as a myofibroblastic neoplasm originating from the liver.
The role of pension funds in capital market development in the new EU member states: An empirical panel cointegration approach
Authors: Kjosevski Jordan , Petkovski Mihail , Stojkov Aleksandar
Published: June 2023

The main goal of this paper is to analyse the impact of pension funds on capital market development in 11 new EU member states from Central and Eastern Europe using annual data for the period between 2000 and 2019. Given the geographical, institutional, political and economic differences across these countries, we split them into three homogenous groups: Balkan, Baltic and Visegrad countries. We use three different variables as a proxy for capital markets growth: stock market capitalization, the value of stock traded, and private bond market capitalization. We apply dynamic and fully-modified ordinary least squares to examine the relationship between the variables. The empirical results indicate that pension funds have a positive effect on the bond markets growth in all sub-groups but they do not impact the stock market growth in the Balkan and Baltic countries.
Sustainability change management in inter-organizational innovation networks
Authors: Csedő Zoltán
Published: June 2023

Managing sustainability-oriented organizational changes has received increasing attention in the international literature from the perspectives of corporations and universities. Nevertheless, researching sustainability change management (SCM) from the perspective of the cooperation of corporations and universities, especially the underlying factors of the cooperation, remained overlooked until now. Based on the change management (CM) literature, this research focuses on an international inter-organizational network with universities and corporations, and empirically studies their autonomous SCM characteristics and the collaborative planning dynamics of a sustainability-led innovation (SLI) project. Results show that SLIs cannot only come from SCM strategies, but emerging opportunities within inter-organizational networks could also induce them. Important contextual factors of CM, i.e., regarding strategy, structure, and capabilities, however, could and should be interpreted during SCM and SLI project planning, as these underlying factors force cooperation partners to compromise with each other in project scope. The results suggest that compromises could not undertake autonomous strategy alignment or capability building, only minor changes in the project scope which will still allow leveraging existing capabilities or require a few additional structural coordination mechanisms. The findings contribute to the literature by highlighting empirical examples of inter-organizational SLI challenges, deriving from autonomous balancing needs during SCM.
Impacts of channel curvature on drag, mixing, and stratification in estuaries
Authors:   , Bo Tong
Published: June 2023

Estuaries often have sinuous planforms, and channel curvature can lead to distinct flow processes in bends, e.g., secondary circulation and flow separation. An integrated approach combining field observations, idealized modeling, and realistic modeling is used to understand how curvature-induced flow processes affect hydrodynamic drag, salinity mixing, and stratification in estuaries. In the North River (MA, USA), a sinuous, tidally-dominated estuary, drag is observed to be much greater than typically found in straight channel estuaries, and data analysis points to links between the high drag and curvature-induced processes. Idealized models and a realistic North River model are developed to investigate the mechanisms of drag increase in sinuous estuaries. Two key processes are found to dominate. First, flow separation leads to low-pressure eddies on the lee side of bends and thus creates bend-scale form drag. Second, curvature-induced secondary circulation transports higher momentum fluid from the surface toward the bed. Consequently, the near-bed shear and bottom stress are enhanced compared with a logarithmic velocity profile. The form drag due to flow separation and enhanced bed stress due to secondary circulation combine to increase the drag in the North River by a factor of 2-5 compared to the expected values. In addition to increasing the drag, channel curvature also affects the salinity distribution, mixing, and stratification. During ebb tides, secondary circulation in bends interacts with the salinity field to create bottom salinity fronts upstream of bend apexes. Intense mixing occurs at these curvature-induced fronts and leads to overall decreased stratification in sinuous estuaries compared to straight channels. In addition, flow separation in bends and at channel constrictions can create sharp lateral salinity gradients through differential advection during flood tides, and the resulting baroclinic forcing influences secondary circulation. Surface convergence fronts are generated at bends and constrictions as secondary circulation interacts with the laterally sheared flow, resulting in intensified mixing near the fronts. This thesis advances our understanding of how flow curvature affects the hydrodynamics, salinity, and mixing in estuaries with complex topographic features found in natural systems.
Examining coral reef ecosystem dynamics using microorganisms and metabolites
Authors:   , Becker Cynthia
Published: June 2023

Microorganisms and metabolites are foundational to the success and productivity of biodiverse and economically important coral reef ecosystems and are also tightly connected. Metabolites are small organic compounds produced by reef organisms and are the chemical currencies exchanged by unicellular microorganisms (bacteria and archaea) within the seawater. Although central to reef biogeochemical cycling, we still lack fundamental information on the dynamics of these components of reefs. In this dissertation, I analyzed microorganisms in Caribbean coral reef habitats over temporal, spatial and reef health gradients as well as metabolites in a spatial reef study. In Chapter 2, I applied a rapid sequencing methodology to corals afflicted with the lethal stony coral tissue loss disease and identified specific microorganisms which were biological indicators of the disease. In Chapter 3, I investigated the dynamics of microorganisms over short temporal tidal and diurnal cycles, as well as spatially across US Virgin Island (USVI) coastal habitats. In these habitats, I found tidal cycles were driving changes in microbial communities within mangroves, but diurnal patterns were more important in reef habitats. In Chapter 4, I examined reefs over a longer temporal scale by contributing to the building of a 7-year time-series of USVI reef ecology and found that reef water microorganisms were predictive of hurricane and stony coral tissue loss disease impacts. Finally, in Chapter 5, I combined analyses of untargeted and targeted metabolomics, microbial taxa, and functional genes from metagenomics across 300 km of reefs in Florida, in addition to microorganisms in healthy and diseased corals. With this unprecedented combination of ‘omics datasets, I found that biogeographic zones, environmental features, and underlying habitat characteristics were related to microbial and metabolite features in the reef ecosystem. Further, I identified microorganisms and metabolites which were characteristic of specific reef biogeographic zones. Collectively, my work advances our understanding into the dynamics of microorganisms and metabolites in biodiverse coral reef habitats across natural temporal and spatial gradients and in the face of unprecedented stress and disturbance.
ANALYSIS OF THE HEAT TRANSFER BY LAMINAR FLOW IN THERMAL ENTRANCE REGION OF A CONDUIT WITH WAVY SURFACE SUBJECTED TO A UNIFORM WALL HEAT FLUX
Authors: Elalaoui Soaad , Oubarra Abdelaziz , Lahjomri Jawad , Zniber K.
Published: June 2023

Thermal developing laminar Poiseuille flow via a conduit with wavy surface is studied taking plane and cylindrical
geometries as a case in point. A transformation procedure from the original system with wavy walls heated by a type
of heat change to the one of straight walls subjected to periodic heat flux of the same period is proposed. Then, by the functional analysis method the solution in thermal entry area is obtained with regard to uniform inlet temperature and neglecting both viscous dissipation and the axial conduction. Mean and local Nusselt numbers from Nusselt as well as temperature in the entrance region are obtained for a conduit with small amplitude of the wavy walls. The principal results presented show that the solution regarding the two geometries has the same form and describe completely the original problem, and the optimization of the system for walls with low amplitude corresponds to large dimensionless
pulsation for great values of Péclet number.

Published: June 2023

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is widely regarded as one of the most extensively applied photocatalytic semiconductor materials. However, conventional powdered titanium dioxide exhibits certain limitations, including relatively weak light absorption capability, a small surface area and insufficient active sites. This study successfully prepared flexible and porous silicon dioxide (SiO2)–titanium dioxide nanofiber membranes (NFMs) by implementing electrospinning technology and calcination processes. The porous membranes demonstrate remarkable performance in water treatment, featuring a high specific surface area (49 m2/g) and porosity, enabling efficient adsorption and removal of organic pollutants in water. Remarkably, the NFMs-800 variant exhibits outstanding photocatalytic performance, achieving complete removal of adsorbed organic compounds under ultraviolet irradiation. The design and fabrication methods of this porous membrane are simple and scalable, providing a potential solution for practical water-treatment applications. Consequently, the silicon dioxide–titanium dioxide porous membrane holds significant prospects in the field of water treatment, offering a promising contribution to the attainment of efficient and sustainable water resource management.
Semi-analytical method to estimate boundary shear stress in smooth rectangular and trapezoidal open channels
Authors: Beygi Pouria , Lashkar-Ara Babak
Published: June 2023

The boundary shear stress is obtained from the continuity and momentum equations in smooth prismatic open channels. Shear stress is a function of gravity, secondary flow, and gradient velocity. In this research, semi-analytical equations were obtained to estimate the average boundary shear stress in smooth rectangular and trapezoidal open channels by 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 side slopes using conformal mapping techniques. After dividing the channel cross section into the bed and wall sub-sections, the present study used the method by Guo and Julien (2005) to estimate the average shear stress of the bed and the wall in open channels. For the studied case, by the first shear stress estimation, secondary current and constant eddy viscosity were neglected. After recommending two secondary current and eddy viscosity correction factors, a second approximation well matched the experimental measurements of the average shear stress for all aspect ratios.
Pathologies d’altitude
Authors: APPRIOU C. , BOURRILHON C. , MILLIAT G.
Published: June 2023

L’altitude expose l’organisme à deux grandes contraintes, l’hypoxie et le froid, responsables de pathologies telles que le Mal Aigu des Montagne (MAM) et les gelures.
Les militaires composant la 27e Brigade d’infanterie de montagne (BIM) sont spécialisés dans le combat au sein de cet environnement exigeant. L’objectif de cette étude est, premièrement, de connaître la prévalence de ces pathologies au sein de cette population. Deuxièmement, il est utile d’évaluer leurs connaissances en ce qui concernent les méthodes de prévention.
Cette étude prospective observationnelle a consisté en la distribution d’un questionnaire à 265 chasseurs alpins issus de quatre unités de la 27e BIM entre avril et juin 2013.
Notre étude montre que les gelures et le MAM sont des pathologies réellement présentes au sein de la brigade avec respectivement 20,4 % et 9,1 % de sujets déjà touchés par ces affections. Et 73,2 % des chasseurs alpins reconnaissent n’avoir l’enseignement militaire comme seule source d’information à ce sujet. Certains symptômes du MAM tels que l’insomnie ne sont connus que d’une minorité. D’autre part, beaucoup imaginent encore que les gelures ne peuvent apparaître qu’à des températures de -5 °C, voire -10 °C.
Cette étude confirme que les chasseurs alpins représentent une population victimes des pathologies d’altitude et pour qui il existe encore des lacunes dans la connaissance des moyens de prévention. Il est donc important de revoir les modalités des formations qui leur sont apportées, ainsi que de créer des référentiels validés à ce sujet.
Effects of a disordered urbanization: “the cities with their backs to the river” in the Cuiabá River Valley Metropolitan Region - RMVRC/MT
Authors: Zili Salmoria Fabiana , Rombi de Godoy Jeane Aparecida
Published: June 2023

The growing and disorderly Brazilian urbanization caused a series of impacts on the environment, among them the rivers pollution and the irregular banks occupations, being a characteristic phenomenon of the Cuiabá River Valley Metropolitan Region, where “the cities turned their backs to the river” developing without considering the different potentials of the existing watercourses in its territory. With this approach, this article aimed to understand this dynamic, considering that this river is responsible for the water supply of both cities, and a Pantanal Mato-Grossense affluent, making it important to identify the contradictory relationships between socio-environmental issues and the application and urban legislation supervision, by mapping PPAs, carried out in order to verify the degradation of the Cuiabá River and urban water streams in the Cuiabá-Várzea Grande conurbation. The applied methodology, based on bibliographical, documentary, and empirical research, involved studies about the theme and the region history, analyzes the legislation, maps, satellite images, thematic maps preparation from the studied areas (multiple cases) and on-site visits generating photographic records for analysis the socio-environmental impacts arising from irregular occupations verified in the protection strips (PPAs). The results demonstrated the importance of continuing new research, as well as being able to subsidize decision-making processes, formulation of urban and environmental legislation, public policies aimed at socio-environmental protection of remaining areas, which are relevant for improving the quality of life and the region environment.

Published: June 2023

The choice of therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) could be influenced by the tumor’s molecular subtype. Currently, well-defined consensus subtypes are based on tumor microarray mRNA data. Clearly defined and easy-to-use surrogate molecular subtypes, based on immunohistochemistry (IHC) performed on whole slides, are needed to make subtyping cost-effective and useful in routine work and future research. To aid in the development of a simple immunohistochemical classifier, a retrospective single-center series of 92 cases of localized bladder cancer was identified. Routine IHC for GATA3, cytokeratins 5 and 6 (CK5/6), and p16 was performed on whole tissue blocks containing muscle-invasive disease. Electronic medical records were retrieved and searched for clinical variables, treatment, and survival data. The mean age was 69.6 years, and 73% were males. Conservative treatment was used in 55% of cases, while cystectomy with chemotherapy was used in 45%. GATA3 and CK5/6 expression divided cases into broad luminal and basal subtypes, respectively, while p16 expression was used to subclassify luminal cases into luminal papillary and luminal unstable types according to the consensus molecular classification. When subtyped in this way, GATA3 and CK5/6 negative cases showed worse overall survival. Molecular subtyping of MIBC on whole slides containing muscle-invasive tumor using only three commonly used, consensus-based antibodies, is a feasible and cost-effective method for detecting subtypes of invasive bladder cancer. Future work combining morphological analysis and IHC is needed to fully translate the consensus molecular classification into a comprehensive, cost-effective subtyping strategy.

Clear aligners have gained popularity in orthodontic treatment as a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional braces. The use of clear aligners has increased due to their advantages, including improved aesthetics, easy removability, and minimal soft tissue irritation. The treatment process involves sequential aligners custom-made for each patient, using computer-aided design and manufacturing technology. Clear aligners employ controlled forces to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. However, clear aligners have limitations, such as the need for patient compliance and their effectiveness in addressing complex malocclusions. Clinical considerations include thorough assessment, regular follow-up visits, and patient education. Treatment outcomes vary depending on the specific malocclusion characteristics. Clear aligners have demonstrated benefits in treating mild malocclusions, spacing issues, and certain types of malocclusion corrections. Treatment duration may be shorter compared to fixed appliances in mild cases. Stability and periodontal health can be influenced by clear aligner therapy, which has effects on plaque levels and gingival inflammation. Root resorption is a concern, but aligners have shown a lower prevalence compared to fixed appliances. Compliance, eruption of permanent teeth, and limitations in visualizing hard and soft tissues are important considerations. Overall, clear aligners offer an aesthetic orthodontic treatment option for a variety of dental abnormalities and mild to moderate orthodontic issues.

The Arabic Language of Resistance to Polygamy on Social Media: Study on Hastag Ta’addud al-Zaujat
Authors: Astari Rika , Mukhlis Abdul , Yusroh Yusroh , Faturrahman Muhammad Irfan
Published: June 2023

The issue of polygamy in Arab society is rarely published in the media. Since the emergence of social media platforms in 2004, such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, the public has communicated and disseminated information freely. On social media, the polygamy controversy is a common subject. The video explanation by Sheikh Doctor Ahmad Karimah Yajib regarding polygamy is one of the videos about the practice that has generated a lot of controversy. This qualitative research relies on primary data from the hashtag Ta’addud al-Zaujat post data (1000 and 5000 posted from 2019 to 2022). The data is disaggregated by expressions in the comments column indicating polygamy resistance. The reasons for resistance to polygamy are not just prompted by Arab netizens' psychological experiences in doing so. However, it is also influenced by the opposition expressed by other internet users from various cultural backgrounds. Expressions of resistance posted in the hashtag Ta’addud al-Zaujat have formed a public opinion to fight against polygamy. This expression of resistance is legitimized by sharing an explanation of the fatwa of Arab Ulama on social media, which only reveals a part of the explanation regarding the polygamy law.
Günümüz Ortadoğu İslâm Coğrafyasında Şîa ve Şiîlerin Durumu Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Published: June 2023

İtikadî İslâm mezheplerinin önde gelenlerinden biri olan ve özellikle hilafet konusundaki görüşleriyle diğer İslâm fırkalarından ayrılan Şîa, günümüzde dünyanın pek çok yerinde mensubu bulunmakla birlikte Irak bölgesinde ortaya çıktığı ilk dönemden bugüne özellikle Ortadoğu İslâm coğrafyasında yayılmıştır.

Published: June 2023

Based on several studies, sexual violence in higher education institutions remains a critical issue. To overcome this, the government enacts Regulation Number 30 of the Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology for the year 2021 on Sexual Violence Prevention and Handling in Higher Education. This regulation obliges universities in Indonesia to form a Task Force, the so-called Satuan Tugas PPKS or PPKS Task Force. This regulation stipulates that each member of the task force attend training organized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (MoECRT). This study aims to evaluate the PPKS Task Force training program organized by MoECRT. The evaluation of the PPKS task force training was carried out using the CIPP (context, input, process, and product) learning program evaluation. This study uses a quantitative approach and data were collected through questionnaires involving training participants as the respondents. According to the data response in all components of the training (i.e., context, input, process, and product), lecturers were more optimistic that the knowledge and skills gained through this training can be used as initial knowledge on the prevention and handling of sexual violence than students and the education staff. Based on the research findings, the following suggestions were developed for the implementation of the task force training program in the future: (1) the advanced training curriculum in the future needs to pay attention to differences in ability or understanding between lecturers, students, and education staff, and (2) there is a need for further in-depth research to map the training needs for more advanced knowledge about the prevention and handling of sexual violence for each element of the task force (lecturers, students, and education staff).

Authors: Mukhlisah Fauziah
Published: June 2023

A fundamental transformation in competency development is needed to create a smart civil servant and smart governance in the context of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity). The first step in the transformation is to define the competencies that are needed to address the challenges that occur. The findings of this study suggest new competencies to target for upskilling—the process of continuous learning for new skills—through formal training, self-learning, internships, and benchmarking. A focus group discussion with three ministries (the Ministry of Communication and Informatics, the National Research and Innovation Agency, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology) and a survey with a total of 416 Civil Servant from ministries, non-ministries, and provinces/districts, revealed that there is a change in the work environment nowadays, which makes the existing competencies need to be improved through upskilling. Based on the data finding there are two policy recommendations: 1. First, improvements are needed in the substance of upskilling/competency development so that it is more relevant to today’s changing environment. Collaboration was found to be the most important competency, and this finding supports the need to achieve the target of smart governance. Digital IT competency is needed in terms of smart governance through the collaboration. 2. Second, change in competency development methods from analog to digital, from pedagogy to heutagogy, and from training to learning.

Through Local Wisdom: A Policy Road for Bali's Post Pandemic Economic Recovery

Published: June 2023

As a tourist area where most of its income comes from the tourism sector, Bali is the worst hit area as a result of Covid-19 pandemic. Mobilization restrictions eliminate tourists who come to Bali, both domestic and foreign. Bali’s economy declined drastically, and its government inevitably tried to adapt through leading sectors other than tourism. Economic strengthening is then carried out through a number of policies that prioritize local wisdom in managing regionally superior products in various sectors, especially in the local industrial sector and the creative economy. Endek’s traditional fabric industry is considered the ‘savior’ of Bali’s economy in the pandemic era. Those who lost their jobs in the tourism sector turned into craftsmen or marketers of Endek products. This research analyzes the efforts of Balinese Government in revitalizing the economy after Covid-19 pandemic. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive data obtained from statements, written words, and observed behavior. The data used consist of primary and secondary data obtained through research in the field. The result of the study shows that Bali’s economic recovery policy by highlighting Endek cloth is in line with the Bali Government’s vision. Through “Nanung Sat Kerthi Loka Bali” all policies should maintain the sanctity and harmony of Bali’s nature. The vision focuses on three main aspects, namely nature, manners, and culture, which implement the value of Tri Hita Karana (three causes of prosperity). It consists of six pillars of leading sectors targeting the industrial sector, SME sector, the creative and digital economy sector and also the tourism sector. The Balinese Government has also succeeded in creating an ecosystem that supports the Endek fabric industry. Bali is expected to be economically independent by utilizing its local potential. This is shown by the policy on the use of traditional cloth and the IKM Bali Bangkit Expo, which was held this year. The recommendation offered is the implementation of priority development programs carried out by the Balinese Government based on the concept of custom-based on local wisdom, tradition, and cultural arts. In addition, there is a need for further policy strengthening by involving the Bali Provincial Government, Dekranasda Bali, relevant ministries, the private sector, and Endek actors/craftsmen.
