С целью определения влияния крупных городских агломераций на среду обитания при ИДГ РАН с 2014 г. функционирует Центр геофизического мониторинга г. Москвы, в котором систематически выполняются инструментальные наблюдения за геофизическими полями и метеорологическими характеристиками приземной атмосферы. С учетом возникновения новых задач, а также необходимости расширения технических возможностей Центра в 2022 г. проведена его модернизация: расширен перечень регистрирующих средств и обновлены методики наблюдений и анализа данных. Получаемые в Центре данные позволяют оценить взаимосвязь энергетических параметров приземного слоя атмосферы с возмущениями геофизических полей природного итехногенного происхождений и уровнем загрязнения атмосферы мелкодисперсными частицами.

In order to determine the impact of large urban agglomerations on the habitat, the Moscow Geophysical Monitoring Center has been operating at the IDG RAS since 2014, where instrumental observations of geophysical fields and meteorological characteristics of the surface atmosphere are systematically carried out. Taking into account the emergence of new tasks, as well as the need to expand the technical capabilities of the Center in 2022, its modernization was carried out: the list of recording tools was expanded and the methods of observation and data analysis were updated. The data obtained at the Center allow us to assess the relationship between the energy parameters of the surface layer of the atmosphere with disturbances of geophysical fields of natural and man-made origin and the level of atmospheric pollution by fine particles.

Описаны инструментальные наблюдения за уровнем инфразвукового фона в полосе частот 1-20 Гц от работающей техники при вывозе руды из карьеров Лебединского и Стойленского ГОКов. Ежедневно в карьерах работают более 130 единиц основной горной техники, которые являются источником интенсивных инфразвуковых колебаний. Измерения проводились в период с июня по октябрь 2022 и 2023 гг. Проведенные исследования показали, что увеличение количества массовых взрывов в 2023 г. и, как следствие, интенсификация вывоза руды, привело к возрастанию инфразвукового фона на 4-9 дБ по сравнению с 2022 г. Однако его значение не превышает предельно допустимые уровни для территории жилой застройки 75÷90 дБ.

Instrumental observations of the level of the infrasound background in the frequency band of 1-20 Hz from working equipment during the export of ore from the Lebedinsky and Stoilensky quarries are described. More than 130 units of basic mining equipment operate in the quarries every day, which are a source of intense infrasound vibrations. The measurements were carried out between June and October 2022 and 2023. The conducted studies have shown that an increase in the number of mass explosions in 2023 and, as a result, the intensification of ore export, led to an increase in the infrasound background by 4-9 dB compared to 2022. However, its value does not exceed the maximum permissible levels for residential areas of 75-90 dB.
И. С. Бах — А. Г. Шнитке: цитата как форма диалога в музыке анимационного кино
Authors: Х. Мэгуми
Published: May 2024

Статья посвящена одному из важнейших аспектов творческой деятельноти Альфреда Гарриевича Шнитке — его рецепции музыки Иоганна Себастьяна Баха. Проблема исследуется на основе наименее изученной области в наследии Шнитке — его сочинений к анимационным фильмам Андрея Хржановского (р. 1939). Аргументируется точка зрения, что в данной сфере складывались основные формы цитирования и подходы, характерные для претворения композитором определяющих компонентов стиля лейпцигского мастера. В публикации рассмотрены примеры точной, переработанной и виртуальной цитат в киномузыке Шнитке. Подчеркивается, что художественный диалог с творчеством Баха и эпохой барокко сложился у него во многом под влиянием кинематографических идей Хржановского. Исследование основано на изучении автографов партитур, хранящихся в нотной библиотеке Российского государственного симфонического оркестра кинематографии, архивных материалов, воспоминаний композитора и режиссера о создании кинолент, а также интервью, данного Хржановским в личных встречах с автором статьи в январе 2023 г.

The article is devoted to one of the most important aspects of Alfred Schnittke’s creative activity — his reception of music by Johann Sebastian Bach. The author explores this problem on the basis of the least studied field in Schnittke’s legacy — his works for animated films by Andrey Khrzhanovsky (b. 1939). It is argued that main ideas of quoting Bach’s works and principal methods of using his stylistic devices have been formed in this sphere. The publication discusses examples of exact, revised and virtual quotations in the film music by Schnittke. It is emphasized that Schnittke’s artistic dialogue with the oeuvre and epoch of the great German composer was formed under the significant influence of Khrzhanovsky’s cinematographic ideas. The research is based on the study of the composer’s handwritten scores kept in the music library of the Russian State Symphony Cinema Orchestra, archival materials, composer’s and director’s memoires about the films production, as well as interviews given by Khrzhanovsky in personal meetings with the author of the article in January 2023.
Boosting the Modeling of InfraRed and Raman Spectra of Bulk Phase Chromophores with Machine Learning
Authors: KEBABSA Abir , MAUREL François , BRÉMOND Éric
Published: May 2024

In the field of vibrational spectroscopy simulation, hybrid approximations to Kohn-Sham density-functional theory (KS-DFT) are often claimed as computationally prohibitive due to the large effort required to evaluate the exchange-correlation potential in planevawe codes. In this Letter, we show that by taking advantage of KS-DFT porting on GPU and machine-learning techniques, simulating IR and Raman spectra of real-life chromophores in bulk aqueous solution becomes a routine application at this level of theory.
Multiscale Simulation of Plastic Transformations: The Case of Base-Assisted Dehydrochlorination of Polyvinyl Chloride
Authors: Ezendu Sophia , Soyemi Ademola , Szilvasi Tibor
Published: May 2024

Plastic transformations are critical to ongoing recycling and upcycling efforts, but the complexity of the reactions makes it difficult to understand the effect of individual factors on reaction rates and product distributions experimentally. In this work, we report on a multiscale simulation framework for studying polymer transformations that incorporates affordable high-level coupled cluster calculations combined with benchmarked density functional theory calculations, detailed conformer search, and lattice-based kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to provide the temporal and spatial evolution of the polymer during transformations. Our framework can match experimentally observed reaction times within an order of magnitude without any parameter estimation in base-assisted dehydrochlorination of polyvinyl chloride. We determine that the E2 reaction mechanism dominates the reaction and demonstrate that different structural defects can inhibit or promote directional polyene growth as well as affect the structure of the dehydrochlorination product.

Published: May 2024

Frontal ring-opening metathesis polymerization (FROMP) involves a self-perpetuating exothermic reaction, which enables the rapid and energy-efficient manufacturing of thermoset polymers and composites. Current state-of-the-art reaction-diffusion FROMP models rely on a phenomenological description of the olefin metathesis kinetics, limiting their ability to model the governing thermo-chemical FROMP processes. Furthermore, the existing models are unable to predict the variations in FROMP kinetics with changes in the resin composition and as a result are of limited utility towards accelerated discovery of new resin formulations. In this manuscript, we formulate a chemically meaningful model grounded in the established mechanism of ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Our study aims to validate the hypothesis that the ROMP mechanism, applicable to monomer-initiator solutions below 100°C, remains valid under the non-ideal conditions encountered in FROMP, including ambient to >200°C temperatures, sharp temperature gradients, and neat monomer environments. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate that our mechanism-based model accurately predicts FROMP behavior across various resin compositions, including polymerization front velocities and thermal characteristics (e.g., Tmax). Additionally, we introduce a semi-inverse workflow that predicts FROMP behavior from a single experimental data point. Notably, the physiochemical parameters utilized in our model can be obtained through DFT calculations and minimal experiments, highlighting the model's potential for rapid screening of new FROMP chemistries in pursuit of thermoset polymers with superior thermo-chemo-mechanical properties.

Higher education institutions worldwide show an interest in enhancing their internationalisation initiatives by integrating innovative teaching approaches into formal curricula. A main concern is to ensure that preservice teachers enter future classrooms with a high level of civic competence. The aim of this study was to investigate the challenges and opportunities confronted within a professional development programme designed to promote preservice teachers’ competencies for democratic culture. The professional development programme was a three-year Erasmus+ KA2 programme involving the development of teacher training modules inspired by and aimed at developing competencies from the Reference Framework of Competencies for Democratic Culture. Its objective was to integrate digital resources within practicum-based learning modules based on democratic citizenship values. Following the implementation of the programme, a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) was conducted to gather data on the programme’s potential to support preservice teachers’ civic competencies. The SWOT analysis was completed by ten teacher educators from five different university departments located in two metropolitan cities in central and northern Greece. Thematic analyses were used at a case and group level. The results showed that the online affordances of the programme, combined with each department’s practicum-based learning modules, could effectively support the development of preservice teachers’ civic competencies, provided that resources were adapted with a human-centred sensitivity to the specificities of each context. In alignment with worldwide teacher education trends, we advocate for the implementation of similar programmes in the future as a ‘participatory internationalisation at home’ strategy for supporting teacher online collaboration and peer learning.

Published: May 2024

The aim of this paper is to greatly decrease the use of physical devices. To achieve this, the approach of human- computer interaction was employed, implementing a system that uses only finger movements to control the mouse pointer on the screen without relying on any hardware like a physical mouse. This system uses OpenCV as a medium for input obtained from a live camera and uses media pipe models to convert plane inputs from OpenCV into useful data, which is more efficient compared to traditional models like object and color detection. Along with the contactless mouse, this paper also implemented a voice system to support the contactless mouse in its activation and deactivation. This is achieved with the help of modules like speech recognition and PyAudio. This system also assists the user with simple tasks, such as opening Google or browsing content. By combining both voice recognition and a contactless mouse using hand movements, the system was converted into a seemingly contactless device.
The effect of vacuum-packaging on nutrient and Salmonella growth of sautéed
vegetables
Authors: Sefrina L.R. , Fikri A.M.
Published: May 2024

Low consumption of vegetables was associated with a lack of cooking and preparation
skills. In addition, in modern times, people tend to choose foods that can be served quickly.
Vacuum packaging is a simple method of preserving food that can be done at home.
Therefore, sautéed vegetables in vacuum packaging were developed and evaluated for their
nutrients and microbiological properties. The vegetables, including spinach, carrots, and
water spinach, were sautéed before being vacuum packaged. The related parameters,
including carbohydrate, protein, ash, moisture, vitamin C, pH, and Salmonella sp., were
evaluated. Some parameters were measured at 0, 7, and 14 days. The results showed that
the samples contained carbohydrates ranging from 8.26-17.08%, 0.145-1.90% protein, 2.23
-2.49% fiber, 1.46-3.10% fat, 0.13-0.10% ash and 82.44-86.08% moisture. The Vitamin C
content was similar during storage time, at day 0, 7 and 14. The pH of sautéed vegetables
was relatively constant on days 0, 7 and 14. A high Salmonella sp. content was found
during storage time on days 7 and 14. The vacuum-packaging of sautéed vegetables
potentially maintained the nutrients during storage time until day 7. However, the results of
this study indicated that there is still a possibility that vacuum packaging has not been able
to reduce the growth of micro-bacteria in the package. Overall, this study implied that
vacuum packaging with other treatments is needed for food safety reasons.

Published: May 2024

Infant mortality rate (IMR) remains a serious issue in Indonesia, and it continues to increase every year. In 2021, Puskesmas (community health center) Kandangan in Temanggung Regency had the second-highest rate of low birth weight (LBW) cases, which was 5.37%, with as many as 38 cases. In addition, there were also two neonatal deaths attributed to LBW. Anemia during pregnancy increases the risk of mothers giving birth to LBW babies due to insufficient hemoglobin, which is essential for oxygen transport and nutrient intake. Furthermore, pregnant women with chronic energy deficiency (CED) suffer from inadequate nutrient intake, which leads to reduced fetal nutrition. This research aimed to investigate the relationship between anemia, CED, and the incidence of LBW among pregnant women in the working area of Puskesmas Kandangan in Temanggung Regency. This research employed analytical observational method with retrospective approach. The population included all live-born infants in the working area of Puskesmas Kandangan in 2022, totaling 657 infants. The researchers employed a 1:1 case- control sampling method, which resulted in 102 samples—51 LBW cases and 51 normal birth weight (NBW) infants as the control group. Data analysis was done using the Chi-square (X2) formula. The findings reveal the relationship between anemia and LBW incidence which has a p-value of 0.0060.05 and an odds ratio (OR) of 0.324. Similarly, the relationship between CED and LBW incidence has a p-value of 0.0020.05 and an OR of 0.264. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between anemia, CED, and LBW incidence among pregnant women. Mothers with anemia are three times more likely to give birth to LBW babies compared to non-anemic pregnant women. Meanwhile, mothers with CED are twice more likely to give birth to LBW babies compared to pregnant women without CED.

Educação Indígena: formação continuada para professores da Escola Municipal Tritopá visando fortalecer a ancestralidade dos alunos e a Identidade Indígena Xavante
Authors: Guimarães Ueudison Alves
Published: May 2024

Foi objetivo dessa dissertação propor uma formação continuada para professores da Escola Municipal Tritopá com o intuito de fortalecer a ancestralidade dos alunos e a identidade indígena Xavante. Em relação à metodologia, inicialmente foi realizada uma pesquisa para elaboração da fundamentação teórica, fazendo a busca dentro da base de dados Scielo, Lilacs e Google acadêmico. Posteriormente foi aplicado uma entrevista semiestruturada com 20 (vinte) professores da Escola Municipal Tritopá. Como resultados notou-se que na escola, os professores trabalham a ancestralidade no desenvolvimento do currículo para que os alunos não percam a linguagem materna, e na escola o ensinamento do aluno é voltado para a preservação da cultura, costumes e tradições da comunidade, mas os professores também disseram que precisam de formação continuada e que esses programas formativos ainda são escassos. Mediante a esse cenário, propôs-se a realização de um seminário, que foi intitulado “A incorporação do conhecimento indígena na Escola Municipal Tritopá”. O objetivo do seminário é instrumentalizar os professores para realizarem uma intervenção educacional intercultural, por intermédio da incorporação do conhecimento educacional indígena no currículo escolar, para construir um diálogo intercultural entre o conhecimento educacional indígena e escolar. Concluiu-se que a formação docente deve percorrer o longo caminho que a educação indígena vem perfazendo em sua jornada para se tornar uma educação que reconhece e expressa as culturas que representa. Essa formação é de suma importância, pois os professores são influenciadores e formadores de opinião, e são agentes de grande importância na perpetuação dos valores indígenas. A formação de professores para a educação dos povos indígenas é uma necessidade premente que deve ir além do discurso da interculturalidade e atender aos aspectos substantivos relacionados às condições em que essas práticas devem ser desenvolvidas.

Memoria, Contuitus, et Expectatio : Revisiting Augustine of Hippo
Authors: Berger Martin
Published: May 2024

Abstract: Since the Middle Ages, Augustine and the wealth of his writings have had an enormous impact on Western philosophical thinking. His approach to time and memory, which he sets out in his eleventh book of the Confessions , is one of the most important sources for research about the philosophy of time. Augustine describes time as a permanent movement in which the future passes unceasingly through an unrelated present into the past. Only the very present moment exists, but this present moment is infinitely short. If the past is no more, the future is not yet, and the present is indivisibly brief, memoria becomes the determining factor of human consciousness. Augustine’s theory of memory and time reveals an epistemological connection with the functioning of human consciousness. Since his understanding of time and memory is already of great relevance in many interdisciplinary approaches, it can also become important to the philosophy of music education. Revisiting Augustine’s concept of memoria can give us new impetus on questions about aesthetic education, cancel culture, and utopian thinking.
Reimagining Inclusive Music Education: Reflections from a Black Music Educator
Authors: Hall Suzanne
Published: May 2024

Abstract: The Eurocentric canon remains the predominant focus of music education often excluding the role of music and experiences of Black individuals and people of color. This singular perspective creates an incomplete and inaccurate understanding of the comprehensive nature of music and the humans who create, perform, and engage with it. In this article, the author shares her experience as a Black music educator and her aspirations for a music profession that incorporates the full range of human music engagement and expression. The paper begins with a reflection on W.E.B. DuBois’s double consciousness followed by an exploration of the nuances, complexities, contradictions, and beauty of being a Black educator in a primarily white field. Subsequently, the essay presents four conceptual principles for a reimagined, inclusive music education approach, drawing inspiration from Sylvia Wynter’s “new science of the Word.” These principles advocate retelling the music education narrative to incorporate historically marginalized voices, reorienting music education to be human-centered, embracing interdisciplinary approaches to view music teaching and learning, and acknowledging the power of music in uplifting the human condition. Finally, this paper proposes a pathway for reconciling diverse identities prevalent in American culture with music education and academia.

There is a need for improved understanding of aerosol-acquired disease due to the increasing environmental load of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are examples of bacteria for which the role of exposure to aerosolized organisms in disease transmission should be more closely evaluated globally. This study is aimed at evaluating the prevalence and antibiogram of S. aureus and E. coli present in market bioaerosols, located in Nwagu-Agulu, Anambra Nigeria. Impaction sample collection method was used to collect bioaerosol samples within the market using nutrient agar as the collection media, A combination of the cultural and microscopic features as well as selected biochemical tests were employed to identify the isolates. The Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method was used to determine antibiotic resistance to selected commonly used antibiotics. A total of 76 S. aureus and 24 E. coli were isolated. Both organisms have been implicated in community-acquired infections. The most common bacteria isolated were Staphylococcus aureus. Varying levels of resistance were observed by these isolates to selected commonly use antibiotics. There is high prevalence of S. aureus and E. coli within Nwagu market Agulu, Anambra State, Eastern region of Nigeria. The organisms have very high rates of resistance to antibiotics (MDR) as reported by other workers. The government as well as Health professionals must play an important role in the prevention of community acquired infections via regular environmental monitoring of open markets bioaerosol and establishing a common permissible limits or concentration for bioaerosols within the markets.

Objective: To collect clinicians’ perspectives regarding the significance of early screening, patient awareness, and telemedicine practice in routine Indian settings for diabetes management. Methodology: The study employed a 25-item questionnaire to gather insights from specialists across different Indian settings regarding their perspectives on early screening, patient awareness, and telemedicine practices among diabetologists. Results: According to the cross-sectional survey, 59% of respondents believed that regular awareness programs were helpful in the early screening of diabetes among high-risk individuals. Meanwhile, 64% of clinicians reported that clinical-level screening was a more effective tool for early screening. Around 74% of clinicians reported that microvascular complications namely diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, and diabetic kidney diseases should be targeted during early screening of diabetes. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) risk score was the most commonly used risk score for early diabetes screening, according to 54% of clinicians. Moreover, 67% of clinicians reported that 11 to 25% of diabetic individuals had complications of lipitension, and 64% reported that 11 to 20% of T2DM individuals had depression. Regarding telemedicine, 65% of clinicians preferred to use it occasionally. However, at an individual level, factors like cost, literacy, less familiarity with using the tool, and emotional reasons hindered the effective adoption of telemedicine, as reported by 56% of clinicians. Conclusion: The survey highlighted the effectiveness of awareness programs and clinical-level screening for early diabetes management, emphasizing the importance of targeting microvascular complications. Increased prevalence of complications like lipitension and depression was noted in diabetic individuals. Telemedicine, though recognized as valuable, faces challenges due to individual-level factors.

Enhancing registration systems: Implementing database systems in digital boarding schools
Authors: Haris Setyawan
Published: May 2024

Islamic boarding schools, known as pondok pesantren are specialized schools for Islamic education in Indonesia. With the community's increasing interest in religious education, some pesantren have begun to offer online learning opportunities. Pondok Pesantren Bayt Tamyiz is a Islamic boarding school that has started developing online pesantren education under the name Tamyiz Digittren. This program aims to enhance understanding and translation of the Qur'an using the Tamyiz method. The pondok pesantren requires significant changes in its administrative systems, including the registration process. Information system development is often challenging for the pesantren staffs and software developers. One of the fundamental difficulties lies in the user requirement process. Typically, pesantren need help to provide the information system they need. Such difficulties hinder the development process as developers must conduct numerous experiments. This research aims to design and implement a suitable database for the new student registration system with minimal information and limited time development. The research follows a database development method divided into three stages: Requirement Collection and Analysis, Conceptual Database Design, and Logical Database Design. Database development utilizes MySQL as the Database Management System (DBMS) and PHP as the programming language. This research results in a database design capable of storing and managing student data, payments, and other registration information. We expect the results of this database development to be effective in supporting the registration system and in the future development of information systems at Pondok Pesantren Bayt Tamyiz.

Published: May 2024

Hereditary cardiomyopathies include a diverse spectrum of myocardial disorders characterized by mechanical and electrical abnormalities, among which hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are distinguished. This paper dives into the genetic foundations of these conditions, with a focus on mutations in genes encoding sarcomere proteins, thin filament proteins, and calcium homeostasis regulators. The familial aggregation of cardiomyopathies underscores the substantial genetic component, with autosomal dominant inheritance patterns predominant in some cases. Genetic testing and counseling emerge as pivotal tools for early diagnosis, risk assessment, and the formulation of personalized treatment strategies. The integration of genetic insights into clinical management holds promise for improving patient outcomes and reducing disease burden. Further analysis of the molecular mechanisms underlying hereditary cardiomyopathies is critical for identifying novel therapeutic targets and advancing precision medicine approaches. By comprehensively exploring the genetic underpinnings of cardiomyopathies, this paper contributes to our understanding of these complex diseases and highlights the potential for innovative interventions to enhance patient care in the field of cardiovascular medicine.
