Authors: Porankiewicz Bolesław , Wieloch Grzegorz
Published: July 2023

In this paper the dependencies of the degree of surface burning and intensity during disc sanding perpendicular to the wood grains of Fagus silvatica L. were examinedfor several machining parameters. Significant impacts of sanding load, thickness, and width of a wooden specimen on the surface burning and disc sanding intensity were evidenced and analyzed by evaluation of multi-factor, non-linear relations. Less important influences of cutting speed and size of grit on the surface burning and the sanding intensity, as well as single sanding cycle time and total sanding operating time on the surface burning were observed.
Alfred Beit
Authors: Albrecht Henning
Published: July 2023

Alfred Beit (1853–1906) has been called a financial genius. When he went to South Africa in 1875, no one could imagine that the son of converted Hamburg Jews would soon become one of the richest men of his time – thanks to the diamonds of Kimberley and the gold of the Witwatersrand.

As a co-founder of De Beers Ltd. and close friend of Cecil Rhodes, the charismatic promoter of British imperialism in southern Africa, Alfred Beit became one of the colonial fathers of Rhodesia. A British subject from 1898, he tried to mediate politically in the conflicts that developed between Germany and Britain with their respective empires, but failed to achieve a reconciliation between the two powers.

Alfred Beit was himself a very prominent art collector and throughout his career he generously supported countless nonprofit-making institutions. The

Hamburg Scientific Foundation itself owes its founding to one of his major donations. Beit’s will passed on his wealth to a trust, which has financed development aid projects since 1906.

This is the first comprehensive biography of this outstanding businessman, art collector and internationally active philanthropist.

Abstract. Salinity and heavy metals pollution are the root causes of many environmental problems. This study aims to determine the effect of NaCl-induced salinity and Pb(NO3)2 on chlorophyll, proline content, and lead accumulation in shoots and roots of Atriplex canesens. Sowing was carried out in plastic pots (16 cm in diameter and 13.8 cm high) containing a mixture of sand/compost. The irrigation of plants was performed with distilled water and Hoagland nutrient solution. After four months of growth, the plants were subjected to either 0.50 or 3% of NaCl combined with 800, 1600, and 2400 ppm of Pb(NO3)2 for a duration of one month, then we performed biochemical and chemical analyses on the plants. Results showed that the combined influence of strong salinity and lead caused a reduction of chlorophyll and increased proline and lead accumulation in plant tissues. Lead significantly accumulated in the roots compared to the shoots of the plants.
Braided-river architecture of the Triassic Swartberg Member, Katberg Formation, South Africa: assessing age, fluvial style, and paleoclimate after the End-Permian Extinction

Published: July 2023

The Triassic Katberg Formation has played a central role in interpreting the end-Permian ecosystem crisis, as part of a hypothesis of aridification, vegetation loss, and sediment release in continental settings. We use drone images of an inaccessible cliff near Bethulie to investigate the Swartberg member, a 45 m thick braided-fluvial body, describing remote outcrop facies to identify geomorphic units and using spatial analysis to estimate their proportions in 2D sections. Here the Swartberg member comprises three channel belts within shallow valleys, the lowermost of which is ~500 m wide and incised into lacustrine deposits. The component channel bodies consist mainly of trough cross-bedded sand sheets (48%) and channel-scour fills (28%). Recognizable bars (15%) comprise unit bars with high-angle slipfaces and mounded bar cores (components of mid-channel compound bars), bars built around vegetation, and bank-attached bars in discrete, probably low-sinuosity conduits. Abandoned channels constitute 8% and 16% of flow-parallel and -transverse sections, respectively. When corrected for compaction, the average thalweg depth of the larger channels is 3.9 m, with an average bankfull width of 84 m, scaling broadly with the relief of the bars and comparable in scale to the Platte and South Saskatchewan rivers of North America. The fluvial style implies perennial but seasonably variable flow in a vegetated landscape with a humid paleoclimate. The northward paleoflow accords with regional paleoflow patterns and deposition on a megafan sourced in the Cape Fold Belt, where the Swartberg member represents the avulsion of a major transverse-flowing river. U-Pb dating of in situ and reworked pedogenic carbonate nodules from below the base of the Swartberg member yielded Anisian to Ladinian ages (Middle Triassic), younger than the previously assumed Early Triassic age and implying that considerable gaps in time exist within the succession. An assessment of the interval spanning the lower to mid Katberg Formation is needed to reevaluate the inferred unidirectional trend in fluvial style, aridification, and fossil distributions in this condensed, disjunct succession.

In recent years, student stress has become very visible. Academic stress is triggered by various circumstances, such as heavy workloads, lots of teaching materials or material to study, students need to excel academically, and academic demands that are reinforced by pressure from parents, school, and classmates. It is necessary to have group counseling for students to overcome these problems. The purpose of this study is to find out how effective the application of group counseling services is in minimizing academic stress in high school students. This research belongs to the type of experimental research, with a total sample of 6 high school students. Data collection in the study was carried out using questionnaires and interviews, with the research instrument being a questionnaire regarding academic stress. The data obtained in the study were then analyzed using the paired simple t-test. The results of the data analysis showed that the results of the Shapiro-Wilk normality test were pre-test 225 and post-test 099. It can be concluded that the data was > 0.05 or normally distributed. Furthermore, the paired sample t-test results showed a two-tailed significance score <0.05, meaning there was a significant difference between the initial and final variables. It indicates a significant effect on the difference in the treatment given to each variable. Based on these results, group counseling services are quite effective in minimizing academic stress on students.

Published: July 2023

The curriculum 2013 requires students to be more active and independent in learning so that teachers must facilitate teaching materials that are able to make students learn independently. Along with the development of technology, teachers are required to provide innovation in teaching materials. In this situation, the current pandemic conditions require online learning. The results of observations at SMP Negeri 7 Padang show that the teaching materials used have not been able to help the learning process. Based on these problems, electronic teaching materials are a solution to support the learning process, one of which is an electronic module (e-module). This study aims to produce an integrated science e-module with an ethnoscience approach to valid and practical. The type of research used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model consisting of five stages, namely analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation, but thisresearch is limited until development stage. The research subjects were 3 lecturers of Science Education, FMIPA UNP, teachers and students of SMP Negeri 7 Padang. The instruments used in this research were validity and practicality questionnaires. The results of the validity test obtained an average kappa moment value (k) of 0.87 with a very high validity category. The results of the practicality test on the teacher obtained an average kappa moment value (k) of 0.88 with a very high validity category and the results of the practicality test on the students obtained an average kappa moment value (k) of 0.86 with a very high validity category. Based on these results, it is concluded that the e-module with an ethnoscience approach on additives and addictive substances is valid and practical.

Published: July 2023

Regardless of ethnicity or geographical distribution, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome affects 1 in every 100,000 live male births. It has been established that Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome may potentially be a source of autoimmune illnesses and reticuloendothelial malignancies, even though most patients present with the traditional triad of thrombocytopenia, eczema, and recurrent bacterial infections. This case report introduces a 4-year-old boy born with hematemesis, thrombocytopenia, eczema, recurring infections, and, most surprisingly, normal platelet size. Genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis, primarily based on clinical suspicion. Thus the case study attempts to increase awareness among doctors in Bahrain and globally in considering the diagnosis of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome in any patient with eczema, recurrent infections and thrombocytopenia regardless of having a normal mean platelet volume .

ARE ORIENTATIONS OF NATIONAL CULTURE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GREEN ECONOMY INTERRELATED?
Authors: Sova Alona , Rožman Maja , Korez-Vide Romana
Published: July 2023

Green economy, as an environmentally sound, low-carbon economy, brings benefits not only to the natural environment but also to business and society. Decreasing environmental problems and promoting sustainable development are critical objectives of the green economy that seeks to balance the social, economic, and environmental pillars. Culture is an important supporting pillar of social development since it shapes the identity of a society, and there can be no sustainable development without considering this important factor. Most of the Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by the United Nations in 2015, emphasize the role of culture at its core. The primary purpose of this paper is to explore the interconnectedness of national cultural orientations and the stages of green economy development. In the research, we gathered secondary data from 60 countries from different parts of the world. The data for national cultural orientations were collected from the Hofstede insights website, whereas the values for the green economy indicators we gathered from the Green Growth Index Report. The research is based on descriptive statistical analysis. Its findings show that for some green economy indicators, there are statistical differences between different groups of countries with different national cultural orientations. For some indicators, there were no significant differences.

Published: July 2023

The Sedulur Sikep community is a community group with traditional ties that are still strong and rooted in social life. They are scattered in various areas including in Larikrejo Village, Undaan District, Kudus Regency. Their average economic standard of living is still low, making it difficult to get them politically active. This affects their political culture, including in the 2019 village head election. This study aims to determine the political culture of the Sedulur Sikep community in the village head election and the factors that influence it. This study uses the theory developed by Gabriel A. Almond and Sidney Verba as an analytical framework. This theory explains cognitive, affective and evaluative orientations which are then categorized into types of political culture such as parochial, subject/subject, and participant. The results of the study show that the political culture of the Sedulur Sikep people belongs to the parochial type. The influencing factors are the level of education and economy, the traditional understanding of society which is obtained through the teachings of Saminism, feelings of inferiority towards state policies and changes to the order of the national political system

A etnozoologia pode ser compreendida como uma área científica que busca estabelecer relações entre as comunidades tradicionais, os animais e o ambiente. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a construção de conceitos associados a insetos e vespas em uma comunidade rural em Biriricas, Domingos Martins, no interior do Espírito Santo. Para isso, compartilhamos um questionário com os moradores dessa comunidade, em que continham seis perguntas relacionadas aos insetos e vespas especificamente, bem como suas relações com o ambiente. Percebemos que a etnotaxonomia da região possui falhas na identificação entomológica, pois os domínios etnozoológicos “inseto” e “vespa” foram confundidos com outros animais, como aranha, minhoca, lombriga e cobra. Além disso, os serviços ecossistêmicos dos insetos, de forma geral, e das vespas também não foram reconhecidos pela comunidade entrevistada. Dessa forma, sugerimos que ações educativas sejam estabelecidas na região, visando o aprofundamento nos conhecimentos biológicos, já que se tratando de uma comunidade rural, esses conhecimentos poderiam auxiliar nas atividades da agricultura familiar, como polinização e controle de pragas.
Genetic testing of sperm donors in China: a survey of current practices
Authors: Huang Chuan , Wang Qi-Lin , Wu Hui-Lan , Huang Zeng-Hui , Zhang Xin-Zong , Zhu Wen-Bing
Published: July 2023

Background

The National Health and Family Planning Commission of China (NHFPCC) issued the “Measures for the Management of Human Sperm Banks,” which was revised in 2003 and is still in effect today. One of the standard guidelines is that potential donors undergo laboratory testing to exclude infectious and genetic diseases and karyotype analysis. However, patient demands for donor genetic testing have also increased, and only karyotype analysis to exclude genetic diseases is not sufficient to meet these demands.

Objective

To examine donor genetic screening practices at sperm banks in China and to evaluate the qualifications and skills of genetic counselors at the banks.

Materials and methods

An electronic survey was distributed to twenty-seven sperm banks to examine donor genetic screening practices at sperm banks in China and to evaluate the qualifications and skills of genetic counselors at the banks. Twenty-six human sperm banks responded to a 32-question survey about their current practices related to genetic testing of sperm donors.

Results

The 26 sperm banks reported that all qualified sperm donors undergo karyotype analysis; 22 banks (84.6%) collected three generations of family history from each qualified sperm donor; 10 (38.5%) reported that they attempted to accommodate special requests from donor semen recipients for particular genetic tests. Only 2 of the 26 (7.7%) sperm banks reported that they performed whole-exome sequencing. At all the sperm banks, consent for genetic testing was obtained as part of the overall contract for sperm donors. Nineteen (73.1%) sperm banks had genetic counselors on their staff, while six (23.1%) had no genetic counselors on their staff but had access to genetic counselors at the hospital. Only one (3.8%) sperm bank had no genetic counselors on their staff or at the hospital.

Conclusions

The need for larger scale genetic testing of donors and recipients and an extensive panel of genetic tests specific to the Chinese population. Additionally, professionally trained geneticists must be employed as genetic counsellors so that the results of genetic tests and their implications can be explained to donors.
A novel machine learning-based programmed cell death-related clinical diagnostic and prognostic model associated with immune infiltration in endometrial cancer
Authors: Xiong Jian , Chen Junyuan , Guo Zhongming , Zhang Chaoyue , Yuan Li , Gao Kefei
Published: July 2023

Background

To explore the underlying mechanism of programmed cell death (PCD)-related genes in patients with endometrial cancer (EC) and establish a prognostic model.

Methods

The RNA sequencing data (RNAseq), single nucleotide variation (SNV) data, and corresponding clinical data were downloaded from TCGA. The prognostic PCD-related genes were screened and subjected to consensus clustering analysis. The two clusters were compared by weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), immune infiltration analysis, and other analyses. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm was used to construct the PCD-related prognostic model. The biological significance of the PCD-related gene signature was evaluated through various bioinformatics methods.

Results

We identified 43 PCD-related genes that were significantly related to prognoses of EC patients, and classified them into two clusters via consistent clustering analysis. Patients in cluster B had higher tumor purity, higher T stage, and worse prognoses compared to those in cluster A. The latter generally showed higher immune infiltration. A prognostic model was constructed using 11 genes (GZMA, ASNS, GLS, PRKAA2, VLDLR, PRDX6, PSAT1, CDKN2A, SIRT3, TNFRSF1A, LRPPRC), and exhibited good diagnostic performance. Patients with high-risk scores were older, and had higher stage and grade tumors, along with worse prognoses. The frequency of mutations in PCD-related genes was correlated with the risk score. LRPPRC, an adverse prognostic gene in EC, was strongly correlated with proliferation-related genes and multiple PCD-related genes. LRPPRC expression was higher in patients with higher clinical staging and in the deceased patients. In addition, a positive correlation was observed between LRPPRC and infiltration of multiple immune cell types.

Conclusion

We identified a PCD-related gene signature that can predict the prognosis of EC patients and offer potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

So it becomes a challenge because old age becomes a problem when the elderly cannot do basic things. Self care is often used as an index to measure functional capacity in the elderly. Self care is defined as the daily tasks necessary to maintain an independent life or to survive. The decrease in activities of daily living or self care not only has a negative impact on physical well being but also on the social, emotional and mental well being of the elderly. Dependent activities of daily living have a correlation with poor quality of life. So it is necessary to ensure a better quality of life for the elderly, especially because the elderly are more susceptible to disease.

A Study of Selected Igbo Television Presenters’ Pronunciation of English Speech Sounds
Authors: Shede Adamu
Published: July 2023

The English language is used to solve the problem of language variation or problems emanating from language variation in Nigeria. Mass media plays a major role in conveying information to the general public. The conveyance of information is possible and easy when appropriate linguistic tools as well as the correct pronunciation of words are employed. However, there is always the implication of wrong pronunciation on the listeners whenever television presenters do not articulate words correctly. Some television presenters are faced with the problem of mother tongue interference which may lead to the incorrect articulation of English speech sounds. This is responsible for the phonological errors that are evident in the speeches of many television presenters, especially from the Igbo speech communities with significant implications on the educational performance of Nigerian youths who see them as stars and also imitate their phonological errors. The study, therefore, investigates the pronunciation of English speech sounds of selected Igbo television presenters. Data for the study were gathered from four (4) randomly selected television stations and one (1) purposively selected television station. These stations were selected because they are widely watched and some of them are award-winning television stations. The data collected were analyzed using simple percentage frequency. The result of the study reveals that the presenters in this study substitute /t/ for // and /d/ for /ð/; /Ɔ/ and /Ɔ:/ for //; /Ɔ:/, /a/, or /e/ for /ɜ:/ and /i/, /a/ or /e/ for /ǝ/. The reason for this is the fact that the central Igbo consonantal inventory has no dental fricatives // and /ð/ and at the vowel level, it has no central vowels //, /ɜ:/ and /ǝ/. So, interference occurs in the pronunciation of these sounds. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the phonological aspect of the English language should be handled by specialists; Nigerians should be sensitized on the need for proficiency in oral English hence, it should be one of the criteria for selection of television presenters.
