Post harvest losses of fresh produce, including fruits and vegetables, have continued to be high. This realization has triggered numerous efforts to address this issue. One proposition is to utilize maize stover to produce sustainable moulded pulp bio-based packaging as a possible replacement for single plastics packaging. Maize stover is considered a burden to farmers to dispose after harvesting leading to its wastage. The objectives of this study were; to ascertain the current ways in which maize stover is utilized by farmers, the major packaging materials they use, and the determinants of demand for the quantity of packaging materials that farmers use. A total of 200 smallholder maize farmers from Kamuli district were interviewed. Findings show that a good percentage of farmers destroy the stover through burning, some farmers plough it back to replenish the lost soil nutrients, while others use it as livestock fodder. Polypropylene and polyethylene packaging materials are the most used and preferred packages due to availability, and affordability. The covariates that determine the demand for the number of packages purchased annually were; quantity of maize marketed, distance to the market, funds spent on marketing, and annual income. To increase the demand for maize stover packaging materials formal education, regular training, access to capital and formation of farmer groups are recommended.
On New Probabilistic Hermite Polynomials

Published: July 2023

In the theory of differential equation and probability, Probabilistic Hermite polynomials Hr(x) = {r=0,1,2,…,n} are the polynomials obtained from derivatives of the standard normal probability density function (pdf) of the form α(x)=1/√2π e^(-1/2 x^2 ). These polynomials played an important role in the Gram-Charlier series expansion of type A and the Edgeworth’s form of the type A series (see [18]). In this paper, we obtained new Probabilistic Hermite polynomials by considering a standard normal distribution with probability density function (pdf) given as β(x)=1/(2√π) e^(-1/4 x^2 ). The generating function, recurrence relations and orthogonality properties are studied. Finally, a differential equation governing these polynomials was presented which enables us to obtain the expression of the polynomial in a closed form.

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as barreiras e desafios no acesso aos serviços de saúde reprodutiva para mulheres em áreas rurais, com o objetivo de contribuir para o desenvolvimento de políticas e ações direcionadas que garantam o acesso equitativo à saúde nessas regiões. A metodologia utilizada neste estudo consistiu em uma revisão sistemática da literatura. O objetivo era buscar estudos relevantes abordando as barreiras e desafios no acesso a serviços de saúde reprodutiva para mulheres em áreas rurais. Para isso, foi realizada uma busca em bases de dados eletrônicas como PubMed, Scopus e Google Scholar, utilizando os seguintes termos de busca: "barreiras", "desafios", "acesso", "saúde reprodutiva", "mulheres" e " áreas rurais". Critérios de inclusão foram estabelecidos para a seleção dos estudos. Foram incluídos estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, escritos em inglês, português ou espanhol, abordando especificamente as barreiras e desafios no acesso a serviços de saúde reprodutiva em áreas rurais. Foram excluídos estudos não relacionados ao tema, duplicados e estudos com amostras restritas a regiões geográficas específicas. A escassez de profissionais de saúde capacitados também foi apontada como um desafio significativo. É importante enfatizar que a equidade no acesso aos serviços de saúde reprodutiva é um direito humano fundamental. As mulheres das áreas rurais têm o mesmo direito à saúde de qualidade e aos cuidados reprodutivos que as mulheres das áreas urbanas. Portanto, é responsabilidade dos governos, das instituições de saúde e da sociedade como um todo trabalharem juntos para superar essas barreiras e garantir que todas as mulheres tenham acesso justo e digno aos serviços de saúde reprodutiva.

Published: July 2023

Abstract. Having higher adaptability against abiotic stress, which
is characterized in rural areas in developing countries, local farm animal
genetic resources (FAGRs) are increasingly precarious for random and
unsystematic crossing with exotic breeds. In this study, 85
microsatellite loci were utilized to assess genetic diversity among native
Algerian rabbits (NARs) sampled from an area of 753 km (from north
to south) and 919 km (from east to west). Those distances covered
25 significant geographical points in seven rural areas (El Taref, Mostaganem,
Sidi Bel Abbès, M'Sila, Dar Chioukh, Faidh El Botma, and Laghouat). A
total of 558 alleles were observed in this study. The highest genetic
diversity was registered in the southern direction among NAR populations. The
mean number of alleles per locus (MNa) and the inbreeding coefficient (FIS)
were highest in Laghouat (4.482 and 0.232), while they were lowest in El Taref
(4.000 and 0.149). In the current study, the number of private alleles (Pa)
ranged from 9 to 23. In addition, the average of observed heterozygosity
(0.427) was lower than the expected value (0.524) due to high levels of
inbreeding. The discriminant analysis of principal components
(DAPC), the neighbor-joining tree (NJ), and the analysis of STRUCTURE software confirmed the
classification of populations according to geographical zones into four
main groups (east, west, south, and middle). The results of the current
study are useful for breeding improvement and conservation plan research in relation to
local animal genetic resources in Algeria.
Opinion: Should high resolution differential mobility analyzers be used in mainstream aerosol studies?
Authors: Fernandez de la Mora Juan
Published: July 2023

Abstract. High Resolution Differential Mobility Analyzers (HRDMAs) are defined here as plain DMAs maintaining a steady flow over an unusually broad range of sheath gas flow rates Q. HRDMAs, first developed by Georg Reischl and his students (Winklmayr et al, 1991), have existed for a long time, yet have not been widely adopted. Here we question the notion that HRDMAs are necessarily complex, bulky and expensive machines, mainly of interest in exotic applications outside mainstream aerosol research. Rather, many studies central to aerosol research could be carried out with HRDMAs with considerable advantage in size range, resolution, sensitivity and measurement speed. DMA manufacturers will hopefully take the challenge of developing commercial HRDMAs of complexity and cost comparable to those of today’s commercial instruments, adapted for broad use by aerosol scientists, though with greatly improved flexibility and performance.
Fog formation, smog situations and air quality in high school physics education
Authors: Molnár Beáta , Weidinger Tamás , Tasnádi Péter
Published: July 2023

Abstract. It has become a worldwide expectation that the physics
curriculum includes everyday knowledge as well. One important field that can
make the curriculum more colourful and exciting is the field of meteorology.
In our paper, a three-lesson-long curriculum for high schools will be
presented on how to teach the connection between fog formation and air
quality. The international educational experience of this particular topic
will be surveyed, mainly in the countries of the Carpathian Basin, moreover,
the measurement processes and education methods used in the GLOBE Program
will also be presented. The experimental curriculum consists of three parts.
In the first part air humidity and the concepts of absolute and relative
humidity are discussed. Through a few specific exercises, the students
participating in the program learn to specify relative humidity and become
acquainted with fog formation. It is shown via an experiment that air
cooling at a saturated state is not enough to form fog because
condensational nuclei are needed for the formation of tiny water drops. In the 2nd lesson, the concept of temperature inversion and its connection
to fog and air pollution are discussed. Using Internet websites the students
collect information about the formation of smog, its types, occurrence, and
the conditions for declaring smog alerts. In the 3rd lesson, the methods of air pollution analysis and different air
pollutants are discussed. Websites, where the students can follow the air
pollution data of their area, are used. Based on these, problems related to
the interpretation of the data will be solved. The information which is
available on the website of the European Environment Agency is also touched
on.

Abstract. Understanding seismic risk at both the national and sub-national levels is essential for devising effective strategies and interventions aimed at its mitigation. The National Earthquake Risk Model of Switzerland (ERM-CH23), released in early 2023, is the culmination of a multidisciplinary effort aiming to achieve, for the first time, a comprehensive assessment of the potential consequences of earthquakes on the Swiss building stock and population. Having been developed as a national model, ERM-CH23 relies on very high-resolution site-amplification and building exposure datasets, which distinguishes it from most regional models to-date. Several loss types are evaluated, ranging from structural/nonstructural and contents economic losses, to human losses, such as deaths, injuries and displaced population. In this paper, we offer a snapshot of ERM-CH23, summarize key details on the development of its components, highlight important results and provide comparisons with other models.
A comparison of RCMs and meteorological time series (1950–1996) of southern Italy as a fine calibration for hydrogeological scenarios

Published: July 2023

Abstract. Nowadays the phenomenon of Global Warming is unequivocal, as confirmed by the latest reports of the IPCC and studies of the climate-change impacts on ecosystems, global economy, and populations. Among these analyses the effect of climate change on groundwater is a very relevant task especially for regions whose economic and social development depends chiefly on groundwater availability, as for the southern Italy. In such a territorial framework, this research was focused on analyzing: i) comparison of precipitation and air temperature obtained by Regional Climate Models (RCMs) and meteorological time series recorded in a part (1950–1996) of the “historical experiment” period (1950–2005); ii) effects of climate change on scenarios of air temperature (T) and precipitation (P) and, consequently, on scenarios of actual evapotranspiration (ETR) and effective precipitation Pe (P – ETR). The latter was considered as a proxy of groundwater recharge of the principal aquifer systems of the region, represented chiefly by the karst aquifers. To achieve a detailed hydro-climatological characterization, an Ensemble of 15 RCMs (E15) derived from the European Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (EURO-CORDEX), at a spatial resolution of 0.11° (~12 km), was analyzed. Specifically, two IPCC Representative Concentration Pathways of greenhouse gases (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) were considered. The E15 was calibrated in the validation period (1950–1996) by a statistical comparison with data observed by the regional meteorological network managed by the former National Hydrological Service (SIMN), Department of Naples, which was active in the period 1921–1999. As a principal result, the E15 was found with a statistical structure very similar to those of observed annual precipitation (OBSP) and mean annual air temperature (OBST), characterized by a very similar frequency distribution. Accordingly, an inferential statistical approach was performed for calibrating E15 precipitation (E15P) and air temperature (E15T) based on the compensation of the difference with OBSP (+7 %) and OBST (-16 %). The E15 projects a reduction in precipitation and an increase in air temperature under both RCPs, with a divergence point between the two scenarios occurring by about 2040. As a principal result, Pe shows declining trends for both RCP scenarios, reaching a decrease of the 11-yrs moving average down to -20 %, for RCP4.5, and -50 %, for RCP8.5, even if characterized by relevant inter-annual fluctuations.

Abstract. Cosmic-ray neutron sensing (CRNS) allows for the estimation of root-zone soil water content (SWC) at the scale of several hectares. In this paper,
we present the data recorded by a dense CRNS network operated from 2019 to 2022 at an agricultural research site in Marquardt, Germany – the first
multi-year CRNS cluster. Consisting, at its core, of eight permanently installed CRNS sensors, the cluster was supplemented by a wealth of
complementary measurements: data from seven additional temporary CRNS sensors, partly co-located with the permanent ones; 27 SWC profiles (mostly
permanent); two groundwater observation wells; meteorological records; and Global Navigation Satellite System reflectometry (GNSS-R). Complementary
to these continuous measurements, numerous campaign-based activities provided data by mobile CRNS roving, hyperspectral imagery via UASs, intensive manual sampling of soil properties (SWC, bulk density, organic matter, texture, soil hydraulic properties), and
observations of biomass and snow (cover, depth, and density). The unique temporal coverage of 3 years entails a broad spectrum of
hydro-meteorological conditions, including exceptional drought periods and extreme rainfall but also episodes of snow coverage, as well as a dedicated
irrigation experiment. Apart from serving to advance CRNS-related retrieval methods, this data set is expected to be useful for various disciplines, for example, soil and groundwater hydrology, agriculture, or remote sensing. Hence, we show exemplary features of the data set in order to highlight the
potential for such subsequent studies. The data are available at

Abstract. Global studies of climate change impacts that use future climate model projections also require projections of land surface changes. Simulated land surface performance in Earth system models is often affected by the atmospheric models' climate biases, leading to errors in land surface projections. Here we run the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator Earth System configuration (JULES-ES) land surface model with the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project second-phase future projections (ISIMIP2b) bias-corrected climate model data from four global climate models (GCMs). The bias correction reduces the impact of the climate biases present in individual models. We evaluate the performance of JULES-ES against present-day observations to demonstrate its usefulness for providing required information for impacts such as fire and river flow. We include a standard JULES-ES configuration without fire as a contribution to ISIMIP2b and JULES-ES with fire as a potential future development. Simulations for gross primary productivity (GPP), evapotranspiration (ET) and albedo compare well against observations. Including fire improves the simulations, especially for ET and albedo and vegetation distribution, with some degradation in shrub cover and river flow. This configuration represents some of the most current Earth system science for land surface modelling. The suite associated with this configuration provides a basis for past and future phases of ISIMIP, providing a simulation set-up, postprocessing and initial evaluation, using the International Land Model Benchmarking (ILAMB) project. This suite ensures that it is as straightforward, reproducible and transparent as possible to follow the protocols and participate fully in ISIMIP using JULES.
The effects of exclusive on-street carsharing parking on carsharing perception and car ownership: A structural equation modeling approach
Authors: Czarnetzki Felix
Published: July 2023

Carsharing is considered an effective tool for reducing car ownership, especially in high-density urban areas. Dedicated on-street carsharing parking spaces (CPS) are a promising but under-researched approach to increase the attractiveness and impact of carsharing. Since 2017, Hamburg, Germany, has focused on providing small clusters of such carsharing parking spaces in inner-city residential neighborhoods. This paper is based on survey data of users of these parking spaces. A structural equation model is applied to examine the effects of exclusive carsharing parking spaces on the perception of carsharing as well as on car ownership of carsharing users. The results confirm that the provision of exclusive and conveniently accessible carsharing parking spaces promotes the perception of carsharing as a viable substitute for private cars, which ultimately leads to lower actual car ownership. However, perceived usability constraints of these facilities, such as long access distances or parking violations, lead to significant losses in their effectiveness.

La configuración territorial de los espacios residuales y del “Tercer Paisaje” en un municipio castellano-manchego, de la provincia española de Toledo: Yepes

Published: July 2023

A lo largo de la presente investigación nos aproximamos al estudio e interpretación de los espacios residuales integrantes del denominado “tercer paisaje”, de un territorio, el que se enmarca y conforma el denominado municipio de Yepes, en la provincia castellano-manchega de Toledo (España). Su configuración territorial nos muestra cómo los elementos integradores del paisaje, en el entorno sobre el que se asientan, se pueden encuadrar o delimitar en una triple dimensión: los volúmenes y áreas, las líneas y las tramas (con doble dimensión). Las características primigenias que se perciben a la hora de valorar e interpretar el paisaje son las denominadas “visuales”, dado el carácter escénico del territorio, determinando o definiendo el atractivo del mismo. Igualmente, el espacio humanizado y su “puesta en escena” en el propio territorio, remarcan el afán del observador por descubrir el arraigo de sus gentes, el devenir de sus vidas, la razón de su existir y vivir. Todo ello sin olvidar que, las no siempre positivas externalidades generadas por el planeamiento, tienen consecuencias; sirvan como ejemplo, las iniciativas privadas de la mano del ocio, las cuales generan construcciones de poco valor urbanístico que, tras el paso de los años, y el cese de actividad, quedan reducidas a espacios residuales. De esta forma si los espacios urbanos o los suburbios de las ciudades, de los pueblos,…, recogen las huellas del pasado, procesos que pueden medirse y tienen límites definidos y perceptibles (generan espacios discontinuos, en principio, cerrados, estáticos, pueden forman composiciones seriales). Aparecen, igualmente, los denominados “antiespacios”; territorios informes, continuos, carentes de bordes formales perceptibles. Como consecuencia, los espacios residuales acaban generando unas realidades, poco o nada estéticas, de dudosa ética, especialmente importantes en el caso de Yepes.
Una reflexión psicoanalítica en torno a la identidad, el cuerpo y la máscara
Authors: Conde Alonso Beatriz
Published: July 2023

El planteamiento psicoanalítico aborda el malestar psíquico desde una perspectiva que no apunta a eliminar el síntoma sino a cuestionarlo e indagar a qué se debe su aparición. Por molesto que sea, responde a algo particular de quien lo padece y en el proceso de búsqueda, es decir, de análisis, se trata -entre otras cosas- de ir disolviendo identificaciones, se podría decir de ir quitándose máscaras, apuntando a algo más auténtico, ¿un rostro propio? La identidad como ficción viene impregnando nuestra tradición Occidental desde su fundación, persona en griego es prosopon, máscara. Si la identidad personal es una máscara, aquello que deja su impresión en el otro y esconde el verdadero rostro, ¿qué podemos esperar si los personajes no cambian? ¿de qué personajes disponemos en nuestra cultura hoy? ¿hay un rostro “verdadero”? La máscara supone cierta libertad puesto que se puede intercambiar, ¿nos la podemos quitar? Se trata de abordar estas preguntas a través de tres psicoanalistas y autores: Sigmund Freud, Jaques Lacan y Luce Irigaray. Lo que se desarrollará brevemente son las diferencias que existen entre Freud (1856-1939) y Lacan (1901-1981) y la novedad que Irigaray (1930) propone a ambos, todo ello para pensar la identidad, cuánto tiene de rostro y cuánto de máscara, qué suponen las máscaras en los escenarios y personajes que se nos proponen y cómo el teatro se hace eco de esta pregunta.
El teatro como filosofía en Himmelweg y Hamelin, de Juan Mayorga: shock estético, zona gris y silencio
Authors: Sánchez Elena Cano
Published: July 2023

En el presente trabajo propongo una búsqueda de los elementos metateatrales presentes en el teatro de Juan Mayorga cuyo propósito es producir un shock estético que revierta la sensibilidad del espectador actual hacia la injusticia social. Para ello comenzaré con un análisis sociopolítico de la formación de la ciudad moderna y el cambio de paradigma en la recepción del espectador contemporáneo. Tomaré como referente la filosofía de Walter Benjamin y su interés por el teatro dialéctico de Brecht por la idoneidad de los efectos de extrañamiento para producir un pensamiento dialéctico. Por último, nos detendremos en Himmelweg y Hamelin, para estudiar como la metateatralidad, la zona gris, y el silencio, como gestus brechtiano, producen un distanciamiento en el espectador que fomenta su conciencia ética hacia la otredad.
Nietzsche en la Aurora de Domingo Miras: cualidades ultrahumanas
Authors: Badea Violeta Catalina
Published: July 2023

El presente artículo versa sobre una obra de teatro, Aurora, que fue publicada en el 2002 por el dramaturgo español Domingo Miras (Premio Nacional de Literatura Dramática en el año 2000). En primer lugar, presentamos la pieza y el hipotexto que da origen a la misma. Y, en segundo lugar, ahondamos en la influencia del filósofo alemán Friedrich Nietzsche en la obra centrándonos en aquellas cualidades ultrahumanas que aúnan los personajes, sobre todo, la protagonista Aurora, quien podría encarnar algunas de las características de la ultramujer nietzscheana, pero también, en Don Quinito, quien se proclama a sí mismo como el ultrahombre a lo largo del texto. Así pues, utilizaremos algunas de las líneas del pensamiento de Nietzsche como metodología para comprobar la forma en la que se manifiestan en esta obra de Domingo Miras.

Authors: Enăchescu Mihai
Published: July 2023

Este trabajo pretende analizar la fraseología empleada por Benito Pérez Galdós en una de sus obras de teatro más conocidas, Electra. Se procederá a una recopilación y análisis de las locuciones, que representan una muestra de la naturalidad y expresividad del lenguaje empleado por el escritor. Luego pasaremos a comprobar el uso actual de estas unidades fraseológicas, para destacar la actualidad de la lengua del autor. Se hará una investigación en los corpus del español actual de la Real Academia Española, para destacar el uso actual de estos fraseologismos, frente a otros ya desaparecidos del uso cotidiano.
Change of direction speed under two loading conditions among female police officers: Association with body morphology

Change of direction speed (CODS) is an important performance ability for police officers. This is even more emphasized when officers perform tasks while carrying their occupational load (e.g., protective vest, weapon, radio, cuffs, etc.). The absolute weight of the equipment remains the same regardless of the officer’s body size and weight, which is of importance for female police officers whose morphology is different than in males. This study investigated the associations between selected measures of the body morphology and CODS among female police officers under two loading conditions. The sample consisted of 29 female police officers (age = 32.00±5.09 yrs, body height = 162.92±5.01 cm, and body mass = 70.88±13.42 kg). Anthropometric variables included height, weight, and body mass index (BMI), while body composition characteristics included percent body fat, (PBF), percentage of skeletal muscle mass (PSMM), and index of hypokinesia (IH). CODS was assessed using the Illinois agility tests under loaded (LIAT) (10 kg vest) and unloaded (IAT) conditions. Participants CODS times were significantly slower in the LIAT condition (p < 0.001). IAT correlated to BMI (r=0.479, p<0.05), PBF (r=0.647, p<0.001), PSMM (r=-0.655, p≤0.001), and IH (r=0.462, p<0.05). Similarly, LIAT was associated with BMI (r=0.446, p<0.05), PBF (r=0.651, p<0.001), PSMM (r=-0.672, p<0.001), and IH (r= 0.503, p<0.01). These findings highlight the need for developing specific physical training programs aimed at improving and maintaining healthy body composition levels among female officers if improved CODS is the goal.
Pandemic business interruption insurance coverage: Insights from WSB [Wisconsin School of Business] survey of insurance experts
Authors: Czajkowski Jeffrey , Leverty Tyler
Published: July 2023

As businesses across the country (and the globe) have been forced to shut down to contain the spread of COVID-19, many have turned to their insurance policies for indemnification of their losses through business interruption (BI) insurance coverage. However, only about 40% of small businesses in the U.S. purchase BI coverage, and for many policies in place, pandemics are excluded or not explicitly covered. As a consequence of this significant coverage gap, there have been state and federal legislative proposals to either: i) retroactively provide coverage regardless of policy existing policy language; or ii) create a government-backed pandemic insurance program to provide BI coverage for pandemics moving forward. The Wisconsin School of Business (WSB) Insurance Experts Panel explores the extent to which insurance experts agree or disagree on major public policy issues affecting the insurance industry. We turned to the more than 50 insurance experts on the WSB Insurance Experts Panel to obtain their insights on this significant BI coverage issue.
Assessment of COVID-19 recession on health insurance coverage enrollments
Authors: Zhang Hanchun , Czajkowski Jeffrey
Published: July 2023

To date, three main studies by Health Management Associates (HMA), the Urban Institute and the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) have provided estimates by state of COVID-19’s impact on health coverage status and eligibility, as well as enrollment in employer-based coverage, Medicaid and ACA marketplaces. Given that assessing this health insurance market impact is important for state insurance regulators, here we provide a comparison between the values from the three studies and the reported ACA marketplace enrollment outcomes in March, April and May from data available for 12 state-based marketplaces.
Preference of Internet Usage versus Textbook Usage for Diagnosis and Treatment Planning in Physiotherapy Students: A Cross Sectional Study
Authors: P Patel Neha , B Suvagiya Suhasi
Published: July 2023

Background and need of study: This study aims to evaluate the frequency with which physiotherapy students experience; the need of digital information resources and academic textbooks to diagnose and treat patients. The widespread availability of internet-connected smart devices in the health care setting has the potential to provide physiotherapy students' information needs.
Methodology: 140 physiotherapy students, selected by convenience sampling. Students studying in third year, final year and Interns of Physiotherapy students were included. The participants filled a Google self-designed, close-ended questionnaire which was circulated via WhatsApp around different physiotherapist groups. Descriptive analysis was done using Microsoft excel.
Results: Out of 140 subjects, 53% use internet for diagnosing and treatment of the patients; 70% find internet useful for understanding the patient’s condition better while 84% find textbooks reliable for diagnosis. 48% think maybe internet is hindering their academic performances, 31% think it’s definitely hindering while 21% think it’s not.
Conclusion: Physiotherapy students frequently experience need of internet for diagnosis and treatment for their patients. This also departs a thought that the students are not aware regarding the authenticity of materials given on internet. This study also implies that despite textbooks being safe, internet is being used for the sake of convenience by students.
