Published: July 2023

Abstract The slaughter process produces carcasses, which are of greater commercial value, and by-products, which can be separated into edible or non-edible products. The latter is intended for the preparation of products not fit for human consumption, such as animal meal. The use of animal meal as feed ingredients reduces the environmental damage caused by the waste from the slaughterhouses and supplies nutritional and economic characteristics in the poultry sector. However, contamination by microorganisms such as Salmonella spp. plays an important role in the spread of the pathogen in poultry farms. This in turn negatively impacts poultry performance and can be a consumer health risk. In this report, we review the process for extracting proteinaceous waste from these by-products and the risk of contamination by Salmonella spp. in the food chain of animal products.

Published: July 2023

Abstract Substance use disorder (SUD) is related to several psychosocial factors, such as grief. This study aimed to find an association of SUD among bereaved individuals based on a systematic review. The research was registered in the PROSPERO platform and the following databases were used: MEDLINE, PsycNET, LILACS, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and SciELO. The Rayyan software tool was used and this study was performed under the guidelines of the PRISMA protocol. In total, 17 articles were eligible, of which more than 88% showed an association between SUD and the grieving process and almost 60% associated grief and drug use with depression and anxiety. Alcohol was the most used substance. These findings may contribute to future studies on grief and substance use and underlie the elaboration of preventive actions for drug use.

Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: To explore the association between chronological, dental and skeletal ages and early diagnosis of third molars agenesis. Material and Methods: This retrospective radiographic study comprised a sample of 282 Portuguese patients (122 males and 160 females) who sought orthodontic treatment between 2007 and 2018. Each participant had panoramic and lateral cephalometric radiographs performed before and after the age of 14 years. The chronological age was categorized into three intervals between 11.0 and 13.11 years of age. The full eruption of the four-second molars was used as a criterion in determining dental age. Skeletal age was verified by the vertebral maturation method. The diagnosis of agenesis of third molars was initially performed by observation of the initial panoramic radiography undertaken before the age of 14 years. Subsequently, the diagnosis of agenesis of third molars was confirmed by visualizing the second panoramic radiography, obtained after the age of 14 years. The association between the accuracy of the diagnosis and the chronological, dental and skeletal ages was evaluated using the chi-square test, at a 5% significance level. Results: No significant association between chronological age and alterations in the diagnosis of third molar agenesis was identified. However, there was a significant association between third molar agenesis and both dental age (p<0.001) and skeletal age (p=0.006). Conclusion: The eruption of the four-second molars and the peak of growth could be considered as criteria for early diagnosis of third molar agenesis, whereas chronological age is not a reliable diagnostic indicator.

Published: July 2023

Abstract Introduction The prone position is frequently adopted for surgical or critically ill patients in intensive care. Cardiorespiratory arrest in these patients may pose an operational challenge, in which delays resulting from mobilization to the supine position culminate in worse outcomes. Objective To provide clinical insight based on the synthesis of evidence from reports or case series on reverse cardiopulmonary resuscitation (reverse CPR) in surgical patients or invasive ventilatory support in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Methods This is a systematic review of reports or case series in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar databases, in addition to a search of the gray literature. Case reports published in any language, reporting at least one case of prone cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients of any age and in any care context, were considered eligible. Results Thirteen studies of fourteen cases of successful reverse resuscitation were retrieved. Three patients died within 30 days, while the others survived without complications or neurological sequelae. Conclusion Despite limited evidence to support clinical decision-making, prone resuscitation appears to be a feasible alternative in exceptional circumstances, where patient mobilization may result in additional harm, delay or interrupt advanced life support (compressions, high-quality early chest surgery, and defibrillation) or incur occupational risks to the health team.
Evolutionary computing-based models for predicting seismic shear strength of RC columns
Authors: Ismail Mohamed K. , Yosri Ahmed , El-Dakhakhni Wael
Published: July 2023

A number of regression-based models have been proposed to quantify the seismic shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) columns. However, most of these models suffer from a high degree of uncertainty as a result of the limited datasets used in their development and/or the classic approaches used to capture the non-linear interrelationships between the shear strength and influencing factors. To address these issues, in this work, the power of multi-gene genetic programming (MGGP), guided by mechanics, was harnessed to identify the primary influencing factors and subsequently develop efficient shear capacity prediction models for rectangular and circular RC columns. Comprehensive published datasets for the shear strength of cyclically loaded RC columns were compiled and employed to develop the MGGP-based models. The efficiency of the developed models was assessed and their performance was also compared with that of other relevant prediction models. The results showed that the developed mechanics-guided MGGP approach produced more accurate and consistent prediction models to describe the complex shear behaviour of RC columns under cyclic loading than the models available in the relevant design standards and literature.

This research was conducted to investigate the saproxylic Coleoptera fauna found in oak trees of different ages in Mersin/Gülnar in the Eastern Mediterranean Region in 2017. Fourty-five window traps were used to sample the beetles on the oak trees. Traps were checked five times, once a month, from June to October. In total, 13 217 individuals from the order Coleoptera were collected and 242 saproxylic beetle species belonging to 44 families were found. In the material, 33 beetle species were identified as new records for the Turkish fauna. Most beetle species were from the Buprestidae (24 species), Anobiidae (23 species) and Tenebrionidae (18 species) families. The highest numbers of individuals were from the Dermestidae (2 354), Elateridae (2 325) and Curculionidae (1 531) families. The highest number of individuals were Xyleborus dryographus (Ratzeburg, 1837) (Curculionidae) and Cardiophorus (Cardiophorus) parvulus Platia & Gudenzi, 2000 (Elateridae) with 1 109 individuals each. Three species were found; namely Protaetia (Eupotosia) mirifica (Mulsant, 1842), Chromovalgus peyroni (Mulsant, 1852) (Cetonidae) and Propomacrus bimucronatus (Pallas, 1781) (Euchiridae), which appear on the IUCN European and Mediterranean red list as Vulnerable (VU).
“Sensini”, narrar el horror: el arte de Bolaño
Authors: Chandia Araya Marco
Published: July 2023

El universo narrativo de “Sensini” (1997) de Roberto Bolaño, se mueve por una tensión ética que trascurre desde el plano anecdótico metaliterario hasta el político. En ambos correlatos existe un reclamo contra el poder del sistema aniquilador. El oficio de escritor y el trauma del hijo detenido-desaparecido exigen una postura vital y comprometida que está dada por un lenguaje sugerente y por un lugar de enunciación de un narrador que habita los límites que le otorga una consciencia histórica para resituar el valor ético y estético entre literatura y vida. El camino es la narración épica de un relato colectivo cuya nutriente es la memoria.
Comparison of remimazolam–remifentanil and propofol–remifentanil during laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Published: July 2023

Background: Remimazolam is a novel benzodiazepine with fast onset and short half-life. We compared the effects of remimazolam and propofol on recovery profiles for general anesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods: We randomly assigned 108 patients to either a remimazolam (n=54) or propofol (n=54) group. Remimazolam and propofol were used for induction and maintanance of anesthesia. Following anesthesia, we recorded the time until an Aldrete score of 9 was achieved as the primary surrogate marker of complete recovery. The time to reach a Modified Observer’s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S) score of 2 and the time from the end of anesthesia to eye opening time, recovery time of orientation, time to spontaneous breathing, extubation time, and the time required for analgesics were measured. Heart rate, blood pressure, and bispectral index were assessed before, during, and after pneumoperitoneum.Results: We included 101 patients in the analysis. In the remimazolam group, it took longer to reach an Aldrete score of 9 after the drug infusion ended (P = 0.031). There was no difference in the time to reach MOAA/S 2 between the two groups. The time to eye opening, recovery time of orientation, and time required for analgesics were longer and heart rate was higher in the remimazolam group. Neither blood pressure, nor extubation time differed between groups.Conclusions: Remimazolam and propofol provided safe induction and maintenance of anesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The recovery time from anesthesia was longer than that with propofol. Fewer hemodynamic changes were observed with remimazolam, but further studies are needed.

Heparinization and inferior vena cava filters were used to treat and prevent PTE. Transesophageal echocardiography and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) sheaths were inserted as a precaution in case of emergencies during surgery; the procedure was performed without any specific event.Conclusions: COVID-19-infected patients suffering from a hip fracture have a high risk of thromboembolism, and therefore, require utmost attention for appropriate evaluation and prevention.
Effect of interfascial pressure on block success during anterior quadratus lumborum block application: a prospective observational study
Authors: Ökmen Korgün , Yıldız Durdu K.
Published: July 2023

Background: The quadratus lumborum block (QLB) has recently been used frequently for postoperative analgesia after abdominal surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pressure changes between the middle thoracolumbar fascia layers to which the anterior QLB (aQLB) is applied at the level of the sensory block.Methods: A total of 67 patients planned to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy were evaluated in the context of this prospective study. Bilateral aQLBs were administered to all patients, and a peripheral nerve block catheter was placed between the psoas and quadratus lumborum muscles. The correlation of interfascial pressures (IFPs) during block application, 30 min intraoperatively, and 30 min postoperatively with the sensory block level was determined as the primary outcome measure. Secondary outcome measures were the sensory block levels 30 min after block application and 30 min postoperatively; visual analog scale scores 30 min and 6, 12, and 24 h postoperatively; and 24 h tramadol consumption.Results: The preoperatively and intraoperatively measured IFPs differed significantly between the right and left sides (P < 0.05). The preoperative and postoperative block levels also differed significantly between the right and left sides (P < 0.05). The preoperative and postoperative block levels and preoperatively measured IFPs showed a weakly negative correlation (right: r = 0.374; left: r = 0.470).Conclusions: The results of this study show that pressure changes between the fasciae may be effective in aQLB application.

Published: July 2023

Background: Refractory angina pectoris (RAP) is a chronic, severe chest pain associated with coronary artery disease that cannot be resolved using optimal medical or surgical approaches. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a suitable treatment option. Conventional waveforms of SCS have shown a potent effect on the tempering of RAP. However, SCS is associated with undesired paresthesia. The new burst SCS waveforms have been reported to have fewer adverse effects.Case: We reviewed a case in which RAP was successfully treated with burst SCS in a middle-aged male, with a tonic waveform employed for breakthrough pain as needed.Conclusions: Appropriate use of tonic and burst stimulations according to the symptoms is expected to maximize the effect of relieving chest pain induced by RAP.

Authors: Ardyansyah Ananta , Rahayu Sri
Published: July 2023

The lack of knowledge integration about the learning environment is one of the causes of the low environmental awareness. The purpose of this study was to develop learning media for carbon compounds based on augmented reality and environmental literacy and to find out student learning outcomes after using media, students' perceptions of the media, and their environmental insight. This research is a research and development (R&D) research by following the ADDIE model. One group pre-test post-test research design was used to examine the effect of using the media. The research instruments were multiple choice test, questionnaires, and interviews which were developed independently and tested for validity & reliability. The analysis technique was the paired sample t-test and content analysis. The results of this study showed that the learning media was very eligible with a validation score reaching 88.1%. The result of the implementation of the final product of ChemiCa shows that there is an impact of using media on student learning outcomes (Sig. 0.000<0.05). Students' perception of the media are very good, learning media can increase their understanding of carbon compounds concepts, as well as their motivation to learn chemistry. This study implies that teachers can use augmented reality-based card game as a supplementary learning media to improve students’ understanding of others relevant chemistry concepts and their environment literacy.

Published: July 2023

Soybean is the main oilseed cultivated in the Middle-west region of Brazil, once geoclimatic conditions favor its cultivation and underexplored species such as crambe, oilseed radish, and niger too. These species can be alternatives to eliminate the conflict between food and energy production, so the study aimed to evaluate and compare the fatty acids content of soybean, crambe, oilseed radish and niger oils by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector using two quantification methods, followed by multivariate statistical analysis to determine the similarity between the selected species and to provide safe information for the best selection and application of these oilseeds. The oil content in crambe, oilseed radish and niger seeds were 44.7% (m/m), 42.45% (m/m) and 28.19% (m/m), respectively. The major fatty acid in niger and soybean oils was linoleic acid (66.9% and 52.07% m/m, respectively), in crambe and oilseed radish was erucic acid (65.29% and 33.54% m/m, respectively). In addition, for saturated fatty acids, the presence is minor (<17%), except for niger seeds with 19.5% (m/m). Niger oil has greater similarity with soybean oil, whereas crambe and oilseed radish oils are more similar to each other. In this way, it was possible to discriminate the different fatty acids present in the oil samples by the proposed method contributing to the objective of the study and enabling better decision-making in the context like biofuels production.

Three-dimensional simulation of earthquakes on the Los Angeles fault system
Authors: Olsen Kim B. , Archuleta Ralph J.
Published: July 2023

We have used a 3D finite-difference method to simulate ground motion from elastodynamic propagating ruptures with constant slip on faults in the metropolitan area of Los Angeles, California. Simulations are carried out for hypothetical M 6.75 earthquakes on the Palos Verdes and Elysian Park faults and, for comparison, an approximation to the 17 January 1994 M 6.7 Northridge earthquake. The dominant subsurface features of this area are the deep sedimentary Los Angeles basin and the smaller and shallower San Fernando basin. Simulated ground motions are restricted to the frequency range 0.0 to 0.4 Hz.

Ground-motion time histories show that, in general, sites associated with the largest particle velocities and cumulative kinetic energies are located (1) in the epicentral area, (2) above the deepest parts of the basins, and (3) near the steepest edges of the Los Angeles basin. We find maximum particle velocities for the Palos Verdes, Elysian Park, and Northridge simulations of 0.44, 0.67, and 0.58 m/sec, respectively. In each case, both the directivity of the rupture and the lower impedance of the basins significantly amplify the ground motion. Although the gross radiation pattern from these ruptures is observable, the 3D basin structure distorts the wave field and becomes a source for edge-generated waves. Signal durations at some basin sites last beyond 90 sec due to Love waves and refracted S waves that propagate into the sediments from the basin edges. Compared with the Palos Verdes event, the durations are generally smaller for the Elysian Park earthquake due to a smaller amount of Love waves generated at the basin edges.

A simple approximation to the Northridge earthquake reproduces the overall spatial pattern of the long-period particle velocities, successfully predicts the timing of late-arriving waves, and matches the peak velocities with discrepancies generally less than a factor of 2. However, for localized areas immediately north and south of the Santa Monica Mountains, the computed ground motion underpredicts the observed horizontal peak velocities but matches the vertical ones. The pattern of simulated total cumulative kinetic energies is similar to that for the damage intensities observed near the epicenter of the Northridge event. While the Northridge earthquake caused damage in the Los Angeles area, the 3D simulations show that earthquakes with the same magnitude on the Palos Verdes or Elysian Park faults produce more severe ground shaking in the Los Angeles basin.
Liquefaction-related ground failure: A case study in the New Madrid seismic zone, central United States
Authors: Tuttle Martitia , Barstow Noël
Published: July 2023

Large, curvilinear sand blows, resulting from earthquake-induced liquefaction, commonly occur along the margins of fine-grained channel-fill deposits in the St. Francis Basin of the New Madrid seismic zone. One such example identified on aerial photographs and satellite images was studied in detail by examining relations of sedimentary deposits and liquefaction features in the field and by compiling borehole data previously collected by the Army Corps of Engineers. Ground failure in this example included liquefaction of subsurface sandy deposits, development of en echelon fissures in the overlying channel-fill deposit, forceful venting of sandbearing water to the ground surface resulting in the formation of sand dikes and sand blows, and differential ground subsidence across the sand dikes. A combination of mechanisms, including the development of a water-rich zone below the clayey surficial deposits, may have contributed to the failure.

At the study site, located in southeastern Missouri, the near-surface sedimentary geology can be described as a two-layered system with a sandy channel deposit below and a less permeable clayey overbank deposit above. The contact between the two layers is roughly horizontal, except where embedded by a channel-fill deposit. The basal contact of the channel-fill deposit is inclined along its margin and extends below the base of the overbank deposits. Sand blows are abundant in the overbank deposits, which are about 6-m thick. In contrast, sand blows rarely occur within the 18+ -m-thick channel-fill deposit, except along its margin. Here, feeder dikes of the sand blows are concentrated within 15 m of and arranged in an en echelon pattern subparallel to the margins of the channel-fill deposit. On the side of the feeder dikes toward the edge of the channel-fill deposit, the ground surface is displaced downward as much as 1.2 m.

Large ground displacements often pose the greatest threat to the integrity of engineered structures. As demonstrated in this case study, the spatial relations of sedimentary deposits, as well as their permeability and thickness, appear to influence both the location and mode of ground failure. A better understanding of factors contributing to liquefaction-related ground failures can help to identify sites that may be prone to large ground displacements and thus to mitigate the hazard posed by earthquakes in this region.
Differential analysis of codaQusing similar microearthquakes in seismic gaps. Part 1: Techniques and application to seismograms recorded in the Anza Seismic gap
Authors: Aster Richard C. , Slad George , Henton Joseph , Antolik Michael
Published: July 2023

A large but conflicting literature exists that suggests that the scattering properties of the Earth in seismogenic areas may be temporally variable and that this variability could be correlated with the nucleation times of moderate to large earthquakes. To search for temporal variations in coda Q in the vicinity of an expected moderate earthquake nucleation region along the San Jacinto fault zone, pairs and clusters of earthquakes recorded by the Anza Seismic Network between 1982 and 1992 are examined. To minimize differences arising from path and source variability, only the most similar examples of microearthquake wave fields are intercompared. To assess coda Q differences between similar microearthquake signals, we search for systematic temporal changes in moving-window spectral amplitude ratios. For a single-scattering coda model with an envelope decay function of the form t−me−πft/Qc, the relationship between the natural log amplitude spectral ratio and ΔQ−1 = Q−1c2 − Q−1c1 is linear; i.e., ln r(f, t) = πftΔQ−1(f) + W(f), where W(f) is a time-independent relative source term. To obtain robust uncertainty estimates of ΔQ−1(f) and W(f), we utilize multi-taper spectral analysis coupled with a nonparametric Monte Carlo confidence interval estimation procedure. For the most similar events in the Anza region (coda cross-correlation values of approximately 0.7 for 16 sec of coda), we find that coda Q as a function of time is stable at a typical 1σ resolution of only between −25% and +50% of the reference coda Q value for the area, even in the best-constrained frequency bands. Comparison of similar microearthquake coda signals with both short- and long-temporal separations indicates that all of this variability can be reasonably attributed to random fluctuations in the coda that are driven by source variability and is not indicative of any systematic temporal variability in coda Q. To obtain estimates of relative coda Q that are more precise than this level, the spectral ratio analysis technique requires significantly more similar earthquakes than are produced by seismogenic processes in the Anza region. Such earthquakes have been observed to occur in other regions of the San Andreas Fault system and are analyzed in Antolik et al. (1996).
Probability gain due to foreshocks following quiescence tested by synthetic catalogs
Authors: Console Rodolfo , Murru Maura
Published: July 2023

The database obtained from the observations of the Italian Seismological Network over more than 15 yr was analyzed by a simple algorithm to determine the rate of occurrence of major events after the precursors called foreshocks: moderate earthquakes following a period of quiescence. The number of observed foreshocks depends, among other factors, on the spatial (R1) and temporal (T1) ranges of the quiescence used to define the foreshocks. These parameters can be optimized to get the highest value of the success rate of the precursor for a given data set. In our case, the optimization process led to a probability gain (G) higher than 100. In order to estimate the factors that influence the value of G, we tested our method on synthetic catalogs obtained from the real one by randomizing the origin times of the events, or the spatial coordinates, or both of them. The analysis showed that the apparently high value of the probability gain obtained optimizing the parameters. R1 and T1 is the result of (a) shortness of the catalog, (b) uneven spatial distribution of seismicity, and (c) real variation in time of the occurrence rate.
Influence of Host plants on longevity, fecundity and Y-tube olfactometer response of Bemisia tabaci B (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)
Authors: Shah M Mostafizur Rahman
Published: July 2023

The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci B (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is one of the serious sucking pest insects throughout the world on vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and broad leaf agronomic crops. In this experiment, we observed fecundity and adult longevity of B. tabaci on four different host plants and compare its host plant attraction through a Y-tube olfactometer. Results showed that daily fecundity was different in the entire period of B. tabaci life and more number of total eggs laid on eggplant and medium on tomato and cucumber and lower on pepper. Female life longevity was higher than male life where both of them survive longer on eggplant, medium on tomato and cucumber, and lower on pepper. The Y-tube olfactometer results showed that comparison preferences between cucumber vs. eggplant and tomato vs. eggplant did not differ significantly.  Host plant attraction between tomato vs. cucumber, eggplant vs. pepper, cucumber vs. pepper, and tomato vs. pepper differed significantly. The olfactometer results confirmed that eggplant, cucumber, and tomato are preferred hosts where pepper is the non-preferred host for B. tabaci B. These basic results will provide important information for a better understanding of B. tabaci biology as well as dispersal subject to the development of management strategies to successfully combat infestations of the whitefly in a cropping system with different crops.
Morgellons Disease and Its Association with Spirochetes and Lyme Disease
Authors: Grimm Jase
Published: July 2023

Morgellons' pathophysiology is uncertain, threads ring, embed, or extend from the skin. Parasitism was traditionally considered a delusional illness. A Caucasian and female majority of 3.65 per 100,000 individuals in North California. Skin development, with or without cutaneous lesions, is a prominent symptom, affecting patients' health. Recent serological and clinical research tying Morgellons to Lyme corroborate its somatic nature. Borreliosis (Morgellons disease) causes skin sores in the hoof. Cattle with BDD have burgdoferi antigen reactivity. Lyme disease is spread by infected ticks. This inspired spirochete-Morgellons research. Fatigue, arthralgia, and neuropathy are Morgellons symptoms. The study revealed that it can be seen seed-like things or specks in lesions and healthy skin, as well as thin thread-like fibers in lesions and healthy skin. Morgellons illness causes filaments in hair follicle roots. They are cellular in nature, not textile in origin. Morgellons fibers have a crest that suggests they are vegetative spirochetes. Spirochetes can adapt and alter their shape. Borrelia can form a biofilm-like aggregation that is drug-resistant. If enlarged 50 times or more, they resemble textile strands.

Agri-Food System and Artificial Intelligence: Reconsidering Imperishability
Authors: Vadlamudi Siddhartha
Published: July 2023

This research work aims to investigate the function of artificial intelligence (AI) in the agri-food industry, considering their effects on the sustainable development of the environment and society, as well as to understand the role of stakeholders in its supply chain. For more than a decade, scholars, technology experts, and practitioners have paid rapid attention to artificial intelligence (AI) technology innovations and their roles in operational processes management and its challenges for new business models, in a sustainable and socially responsible perspective. Therefore, these stakeholders of agri-food organizations can now assume a proactive or marginal role in the value creation for businesses based on their individual environmental awareness. Although the issues associated with the adoption of new technologies still appear “open” in some industries, such as the agri-food system, rethinking and redesigning the whole business model is required for sustainable development. Methodologically, an in-depth survey and review of the scholar’s literature of relevant information about this subject matter were carried out following two major phases: firstly, was the extraction of related articles from scientific databases (Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar) while the second phase involved analyzing the selected articles. The findings denoted major issues about Artificial intelligence towards a “space economy” to achieve sustainable and responsible business models.
Multimodal Learning Analysis via Machine Learning and Deep Learning Methodologies
Authors: Neogy Taposh Kumar
Published: July 2023

The world we live in is purely multimodal in nature. We can see objects, hear sounds, smell different sorts of scents, feel things, and taste various flavors. The word ‘Modality’ refers to something that occurs or something that can be experienced. An experience is presented as multimodal only when it includes some of the modalities found in the world. In order to gain recognition in understanding our general surroundings, artificial intelligence should be able to understand such multimodal perspectives. On the other hand, multimodal machine learning refers to the development of models that can interact and correlate data from various modalities. It’s a dynamic and multi-disciplinary area of expanding significance with exceptional perspective. Rather than focusing on some limited multimodal applications, we, in this paper review the new technological developments in multimodal machine learning and present them in a typical scientific categorization. We move past the usual classifications and discuss more extensive opportunities and challenges presented by multimodal machine learning. Most of the studies conducted on multimodal learning methodologies utilize polls and surveys as their primary source of collecting quantitative data. This paper discusses the results of precise literature of observational studies on the skills of multimodal data (MMD) for human learning with the help of artificial intelligence-empowered methodologies i.e. Machine Learning and Deep Learning. This paper also gives an outline of what and in what manner MMD has been leveraged to strengthen learning and in what environmental settings. The discussion of this paper portrays the abilities of multimodal learning and the continuous advances and methods that rise out of the work of multimodal learning to enhance and further elevate the learning process. At last, we conclude that future researchers should thoroughly consider developing a system that would empower multimodal features to be lined up with the ongoing research and learning plan. These features could likewise be used on enabling theory and practice activities to further elevate the multimodal learning process. This paper sets a clear pattern to enable the adoption of multimodal data inside future learning technologies and development endeavors.
Up-gradation of Informal settlement: A Review of Comparative Evidence of Khulna and Kathmandu
Authors: Ahmed Sk. Kabir , Khan Md. Nur-Mohammad
Published: July 2023

The urban population of developing countries is increasing at an alarming rate. As a consequence, an alarming feature of this trend is an explosion of informal housing development especially in cities of developing countries. In recent times, a great deal of significance has been come forwarded to the informal housing sector. The general features of informal housing are insecurity of tenure, low standard of infrastructure and services. Housing with high standards and job absence within their catchments areas have played a vital role regarding shifting ownership to the middle-income group. The total study was composed of four major phases. In the first phase theories and policy context, adaptive up-gradation by people was studied covering international context, regional context, and local context, and the second phase-field study was conducted on informal settlements of Khulna city, Rupsha Char Slum. This phase was focused on gathering information about the existing socio-economic context and physical condition, building process indigenous adaptive measures, up-gradation scopes of the settlements. Data were collected by observing and interviewing the community and physical mapping by the residents. In the third phase information was collected under the same criteria and by the same process, which was followed in Khulna, from an informal settlement in Kathmandu, Nepal called Pathivara squatter. Lastly, in this study, a realistic and feasible policy guideline was given based on the learning from the field research and studies on theories and policy context and also informal housing practice, outlook and approach in developing countries and their changing patterns towards this sector has been deliberated.

Сходство и различие науки и философии
Authors: Хайруллина А.М , Нуриева Л.И
Published: July 2023

Наука и философия – это тесно связанные сферы знания, которые дополняют друг друга, функционируют в единых целях, при этом обладают отличительными чертами. Наука и философия направлены на то, чтобы изучать природу человека и окружающего его мира, определять взаимосвязи и закономерности, создавать прогнозы предстоящих событий и развития общества. Их отличительными чертами является то, что наука нацелена на анализ достоверных данных, четких фактов, причинно-следственных связей, на основе которых формируются закономерности. В дальнейшем эти закономерности используются для того, чтобы оценивать и прогнозировать другие события окружающего мира. Философия же направлена на то, чтобы постоянно подвергать сомнению имеющиеся факты, анализировать ситуации с точки зрения отношения человека к ним.
