В рамках научной статьи актуализируется задача определения качества и подлинности воды, поставляемой из природных источников. Рассматривается основа разработки инновационных методов идентификации воды из естественных водоемов на примере оз. Байкал. Приведены органолептические и микробиологические показатели воды из Байкала. Сделан краткий обзор методов определения качества природной воды, из которого следует, что химический со-став по ГОСТ не является уникальным свойством воды из природных источников. Рассмотрена редчайшая особенность бактерий образовывать ферменты эндо-нуклеазы рестрикции (ЭР) – рестриктазы как реакцию на попадание в среду оби-тания посторонней микрофлоры. Данный метод, широко применяемый в научных исследованиях, практически не реализуется как контроль качества и подлинности воды при ее розливе на продажу. Нами установлено, что в пробах воды, отобранных в районах антропогенного влияния, были выделены штаммы бактерий, обладающих ферментами ЭР, в то время как в чистых фоновых районах (пелагиаль озера, глубоководные осадки) бактерии с ферментами ЭР не обнаруживаются. Таково свойство бактерий – образовывать ферменты ЭР как защиту от аллохтонной (посторонней) микрофлоры. В данной статье обосновывается факт выявления в бактериальных штаммах ферментов ЭР – это свидетельство того, что вода отобрана либо в районах, куда поступает посторонняя микрофлора, либо вода не из природного источника – оз. Байкал. Предложенный метод дает возможность определения качества и подлинности байкальской питьевой воды, а также исключения подделок природной воды на рынке.

Published: February 2023

Экологическая безопасность функционирования животноводческих и птицеводческих промышленных комплексов является приоритетным направлением успешного развития сельского хозяйства. При хранении органических отходов (навоз, навозные стоки, помет) в лагунах в течение 6–12 мес. происходит эмиссия N-содержащих соединений, в том числе аммиака. К негативным экологическим последствиям образования данных соединений относятся изменение биоразнообразия флоры и фауны водных водоемов, химическая и микробная деградация пахотных земель сельскохозяйственных угодий и загрязнение атмосферного воздуха, в том числе запаховое. Существенная роль в микробиологическом разложении органических компонентов навозных стоков принадлежит микроорганизмам-аммонификаторам родов Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Clostridium, Proteus. Изучение их функции в эмиссии аммиака, а также влияния различных условий хранения на видовое разнообразие и численность аммонификаторов является перспективным направлением, позволяющим контролировать эмиссию N-содержащих соединений. В ходе наших исследований обнаружено, что в свежих навозных стоках доминируют аммонификаторы Peptostreptococcus anaerobius. Количественный и качественный состав микроорганизмов изменяется в зависимости от сроков и условий хранения (подкисление навозных стоков). При хранении наибольшей численности аммонификаторы достигают на 14-й день. На 7-й день отмечено превалирование Clostridium spp., а на 14-й – E. Сoli. Подкисление навозных стоков 10%-ным раствором серной кислоты до рН 5,3±0,2 значительно снижает численность микроорганизмов-аммонификаторов на 98,89 % на 7-й и 89,05 % – на 14-й дни, соответственно, в сравнении с исходными значениями. Активность Proteus spр. подавляется полностью, что приводит к абсолютному исчезновению микроорганизма из навозных стоков. Наиболее устойчивыми к подкислению оказались Clostridium sрр. Применение технологии подкисления навозных стоков позволит уменьшить негативное воздействие свиноводческих предприятий на экосистемы благодаря значительному снижению NH3, попадающего в окружающую среду.
Анализ напряженного состояния звеньев базового механизма технологической машины
Authors: Сукиасов Владимир Георгиевич , Федоров Сергей Васильевич
Published: February 2023

Исследуется напряженное состояние звеньев базового кривошипно-коромыслового механизма, обусловленное действующими при движении нагрузками. Исходными данными для рассмотрения являются нагрузки, найден-ные ранее в результате динамического анализа механизма при равномерном вра-щении кривошипа. Конечноэлементное решение задачи поиска напряжений в звеньях механизма осуществляется с использованием 10-узлового тетраэдрального элемента. Достоверность численных результатов обоснована путем сопоставления решений для сеток исходной и повышенной густоты. Выполнены расчеты движущегося механизма для трех вариантов внешних нагрузок, учитывающих: 1) только силы инерции; 2) силы инерции и силы тяжести; 3) силы инерции, силы тяжести, а также трение в кинематических парах. Получены распределения эквивалентных напряжений в каждом из звеньев механизма. Изучен характер изменения напряжений в звеньях в течение цикла движения механизма, при этом наибольший уровень напряженного состояния отмечен вблизи положения нижней мертвой точки (НМТ), т. е. 0,5 оборота кривошипа от исходного положения. Установлено, что при одновременном учете сил инерции и сил тяжести преимущественное влияние на напряженное состояние звеньев для заданной скорости вращения кривошипа оказывают силы тяжести. Показано, что учет трения в кинематических парах принципиально не меняет результаты расчета напряжений, исключая локальную область положений механизма вблизи НМТ. Количественные данные о напряженном состоянии звеньев являются основанием для оценки их прочности. Полученные зависимости напряжений от положения механизма указывают на их циклический характер. Данное обстоятельство означает необходимость исключения концентраторов напряжений в конструкции звеньев с целью снижения опасности усталостного разрушения.

Background: Estimation of stature from mutilated body parts, as in mass disasters and in many heinous crimes, has always intrigued the Forensic Pathologist and investigating agencies. Every part of human being grows in correlation to each other. Many authors have conducted various studies to find the correlation amongst various body parts and found positive correlation. The present study has correlated the length of all fingers with the stature of the individual. Methodology: The study was carried out on 150 healthy voluntary subjects (75 male and 75 female) of age 18-25 years. Instruments like Stadiometer and Vernier caliper was used for height and finger length measurements respectively. Result: Mean values of stature and finger length were larger in males as compared to females. Positive and strong correlation was found between stature and right index finger length in females and left middle finger length in males whereas right and left middle finger length in total subjects showed statistically significant correlation (P-value < 0.05). Conclusion: The findings of the study can be useful only when an intact finger is examined. As very less information is available related to correlation between finger length and stature of individual, there is need of more research from different geographical locations.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an entity that promotes the formation of autoantibodies that trigger immune complexes that damage various organs of the body. Worldwide, SLE has a prevalence of 13-7000 per 100,000 people and leads to a high mortality from cardiovascular diseases, as well as the risk of developing lupus nephritis (LN) in 60% of cases. We present the case of a 41-year-old patient with a history of recently diagnosed arterial hypertension and bronchial hyperreactivity of 20 years of evolution, admitted for 1 month of evolution with asthenia, myalgia, arthralgia and fever; she identifies malar erythematous dermatosis and systolic murmur in a pulmonary focus. When presenting with proteinuria, microhematuria and renal functional impairment, positive ANAs were performed, which is why it was classified as lupus nephropathy, and she needed to start hemodialysis. In the presence of the murmur, an echocardiogram was performed, which showed a pulmonary valve with a 1cm image of vegetation, causing moderate regurgitation. With the diagnosis of Libman-Sacks endocarditis, anticoagulant treatment, steroids, and mycophenolate were started, evolving to normal renal function.

Beyond the Agricultrual Paradigm in Regional and Rural Australia
Authors: Allison Janelle , Douglas Jock
Published: February 2023

Regional and'rural Australia is undergoing significant change. Among the drivers for change are: (I) an emerging discourse on nature that challenges the agricultural centric view which has dominated regional and rural Australia; (2) transforming agricultural landscapes, which are increasingly multifunctional and complex; and (3) a search for a contemporary bush identity which is relevant and inclusive and which accommodates the diversity of views about rural Australia. The paper describes two illustrative initiatives: the Australian Landcare Management System (ALMS); and the Roma Bush Gardens Project (RBG). These initiatives have been developed to assist individuals and communities to learn - to develop awareness and understanding of the dimensions of change now effecting significant inapact on rural landscapes. These initiatives provide examples of the basis to chart a new course, and to create and build individual and broader community capacity to enable regional communities to  engage strategically with change and to consider an 'unknown' or new future through the promotion of environmental and educational learnings.

Authors: Yadav Neha
Published: February 2023

Caste has always been important in Indian society from ancient times. Its impact can be traced in all aspects of society such as- cultural, economic, social and political. In this research paper, the role of caste in Uttar Pradesh politics is being analysed. It is said that Uttar Pradesh is the political king maker in Indian politics, so caste is the king in Uttar Pradesh. This shows the importance of caste in politics. Many political parties have been formed on the basis of caste based ideology and vote bank. The dynamics of caste and politics is quite visible. Upper castes, untouchables and several dominant castes of the state are important from a political point of view. Here is an attempt to understand this equation from pre-independence to after independence and so far, how politicians have used caste to gain legitimate power to rule.

Published: February 2023

University of Harapan Medan is one of the private universities in North Sumatra which has an Informatics Engineering Study Program with Good Accreditation. With better accreditation, the number of students who register is also increasing. At the admission of new students, the committee has a huge pile of data, making it difficult in the process of whether the student passed or did not pass. Therefore, in this study, we will implement data mining with the CART (Classification And Regression Tree) algorithm. Data mining is a technique to determine the characteristic pattern of a variable or data criteria with a large amount. In the CART method, the data is first converted into testing data, which will then be used to form a classification tree by calculating the value of information gain, Gini index and goodness of split. From the results obtained, it will be re-determined terminal nodes, marking class labels and finally pruning the classification tree which produces a decision tree. In this study, the number of testing data was 75 with 3 criteria, namely the average value of report cards, CAT test scores, and interview scores. The results of testing data testing using RapisMiner 5.3 software produce 23 number of characteristic pattern rules, where node 1 is the CAT test score, level 1 branch node is the interview score criteria and level 2 branch node is the average report card value.

University of Harapan Medan is one of the private tertiary institutions in North Sumatra which has an informatics engineering study program. The informatics engineering study program is a study program that has many enthusiasts. Every year this study program graduates more than 200 students. To produce graduates who have potential, reliability and competence in the field of technology and information, it is necessary to make a selection at the beginning, namely at the time of admission of new students. There are 5 criteria used in the selection process, including the average report card score, basic ability test, computer ability test, psychological test, and interview. Each criterion has 5 weights of values, namely very high, high, medium, low and very low.  The selection process for admission of new informatics engineering students with a decision support system for the EDAS (Evaluation Based On Distance From Average Solution) method.  Where the stages in this method are by normalizing the decision matrix and looking for the average from alternatives, then from these results calculate the average positive distance (PDA) and negative distance (NDA) as well as the assessment of the weighted attribute weights of SPi and SNi, after that the normalization of positive and negative distance weights is carried out for determining the ranking score. From the results of the analysis carried out using the EDAS method, with a sample of 10 prospective students it was concluded that the 6th order student candidate had the highest score with a score of 0.519 and the lowest score in the 7th order student with a score of 0.14. Therefore, the level of accuracy of the EDAS method in selecting new student admissions is around 20%. Of course, this accuracy value will change with large data samples.

Published: February 2023

The emergence and rapid spread of Multidrug resistant isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae causing nosocomial infections, which require the great afford for the treating the patients by the clinician. The emergence of Metallo β-lactamase (MBL) producing isolates poses a challenge to routine microbiology laboratories. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of various phenotypic methods for detecting MBL production among K. pneumoniae isolate. The current study may provide the necessary data to formulate a hospital antibiotic policy and to prevent the spread of multidrug resistance in the community. Total 240 K. pneumoniae isolates were included in our study which was isolated from various clinical samples from patients visiting a tertiary care hospital in central India. A total of 148 (61.7%) of K. pneumoniae were isolated from male patients whereas 92 (38.3%) isolates were from female patients. Out of 240 K. pneumoniae, 102 (42.5%) was detected Imipenem resistance by conventional (Kirby-Bauer) disc diffusion method which was confirmed by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test (Epsilometer test). By the MIC Carbapenem resistance K. pneumoniae were confirmed for MBL producer by using phenotypic test. Combined disc synergy test (CDST) (Imipenem 10 mcg and Imipenem 10mcg + 0.5 m EDTA) and Modified Hodge test (MHT).The MHT test found most sensitive approach for detecting MBL in K. pneumoniae. This procedure is simple and clear and it may use in routine clinical labs for detection of MBL because carbapenems are last resort for treating bacterial infections. In recent years, carbapenem resistance has rampantly increased across the globe.

Abstract

Financial literacy is a key factor in determining an individual's financial stability and instability. For their future, youth need to have a solid understanding of financial matters. In the context of a developing economy like India, where social safety benefits beyond retirement are non-existent in contrast to many advanced nations, this is of the utmost importance. Additionally, due to the development of complex economic items, boys and girls must develop their ability to make economic decisions. Because of this, a student must be financially literate in order to make wise financial decisions. Financial awareness can be developed through teachers, classmates, friends from school, and parents at home. Financial awareness can be developed through teachers, classmates, friends from school, and parents at home.

Towards Sustainable Artificial Intelligence: An Overview of Environmental Protection Uses and Issues
Authors: Pachot Arnault , Patissier Céline
Published: February 2023

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used to create more sustainable production methods and model climate change, making it a valuable tool in the fight against environmental degradation. This paper describes the paradox of an energy-consuming technology serving the ecological challenges of tomorrow. The study provides an overview of the sectors that use AI-based solutions for environmental protection. It draws on numerous examples from AI for Green players to present use cases and concrete examples. In the second part of the study, the negative impacts of AI on the environment and the emerging technological solutions to support Green AI are examined. It is also shown that the research on less energy-consuming AI is motivated more by cost and energy autonomy constraints than by environmental considerations. This leads to a rebound effect that favors an increase in the complexity of models. Finally, the need to integrate environmental indicators into algorithms is discussed. The environmental dimension is part of the broader ethical problem of AI, and addressing it is crucial for ensuring the sustainability of AI in the long term.

Two New Traditional Neighborhoods for the Town of Rozzano, Milan
Authors: Weatherill Jonathan
Published: February 2023

A town of 42,000 inhabitants in the agricultural belt on the south side of Milan, Rozzano was developed in the 1960s and 1970s on the Soviet suburban model to house migrant workers from the south. The stock of modular cement high-rises is now deteriorating rapidly and will not be restored or replaced with similar buildings. The town council intends to replace this fabric with one that is more livable, following the principles of New Urbanism. Two projects are being developed for new mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods on municipal sites. The projects will become part of the town’s Development Plan and the sites will be offered to developers who are to build the new quarters as designed. The results will serve as examples of how to renew Rozzano – using traditional local building models of urban, rural, and agricultural architecture. The initiative is a chance to create a ground-breaking example of suburban sprawl repair.

Stereotomy and L’Art du Trait: The Guitarde as a Case Study
Authors: Moore Patrick
Published: February 2023

One example of the combination of structurally sound construction techniques and attention to pleasing aesthetics can be seen in the guitarde, an elaborate type of dormer that was developed in the Loire Valley in France during the eighteenth century. Although the traditional methods of joinery are still taught and practiced, their use in contemporary guitardes is uncommon. Historic preservation work and the insights provided by the construction practices employed in buildings being preserved may give us a new perspective, providing a more holistic and profound approach to sustainable architecture than is allowed by an exclusive reliance on new technologies.
Umbrales
Authors: Uncilla Cortaberria Lander
Published: February 2023

El término “umbral” nombra la parte inferior o el escalón, por lo común de piedra –y contrapuesta al dintel–, situado en la puerta o entrada de un edificio. Pero a su vez, evoca un lugar de la casa, un ámbito en torno a una abertura que comunica lo interior y lo exterior. Esta diferencia entre lo nombrado y lo evocado da pie a una reflexión. Se parte de ejemplos aparentemente lejanos entre sí y se buscan similitudes entre ellos: conexiones que van más allá de lo formal, y que nos acercan tanto al origen de la palabra como al trasfondo o potencial arquitectónico del umbral.
En busca de los estucos perdidos: Investigación histórica de paramentos tradicionales en edificios emblemáticos de Madrid
Authors: Prieto Pérochon César
Published: February 2023

A raíz de un estudio sobre los estucos realizados por el histórico líder socialista español Francisco Largo Caballero, estuquista de profesión, así como por otros de sus compañeros de oficio, y tras la prospección de numerosos palacios emblemáticos del siglo XIX y XX de Madrid, se puso de manifiesto la importancia de la investigación histórica en archivos, bibliografías y fotografías, unida a los testimonios de trabajadores y a la realización de calas estratigráficas para poder conocer la decoración original de los interiores de estos edificios, que han sufrido cambios radicales.
