Published: August 2023

Artificial light, as one of the environmental factors, plays a significant role in regulating the synthesis and secretion of hormones related to the coordination of parameters of life, growth, immunity, and reproductive functions of hens. The article aims to study the influence of monochrome light with different wavelengths on the biochemical parameters of hens` blood serum. Four groups of "Hy-Line W-36" crossbred hens were formed. Hens of the 1st group were kept using monochrome light with different wavelength lamps with a wavelength of ~ 460 nm, the 2nd group ~ 600 nm, the 3rd group ~ 630 nm, and the 4th group ~ 650 nm. It was found that the use of light with different wavelengths for keeping hens in cages of multilevel batteries affects hen' biochemical parameters, according to the research results. It was established that when using light with a wavelength of ~ 630 and ~ 650 nm, the indicators of clinical biochemistry of hens' blood serum were within the normal physiological values. Whereas, with the use of light with a wavelength of ~ 600 nm, an increase in the level of glucose, creatinine, total protein, total bilirubin, and phosphorus, a decrease in the ratio of calcium to phosphorus, in the activity of alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase, were observed in the hens’ blood serum. The use of light with a wavelength of ~ 460 nm was accompanied by a further increase in the level of glucose, creatinine, total protein, urea, total bilirubin, phosphorus, the activity of alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and gamma-glutamyltransferase, a decrease in the ratio of calcium and phosphorus.

Published: August 2023

A large part of leadership research has been conducted to have a greater impact on the development of human resources. This research aims to investigate the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation on the relationship between transformational leadership and human resource development. For this purpose, 259 completed questionnaires from government employees in the Agricultural Jihad Organization (Ministry of Agriculture in Iran) were collected and analyzed using the maximum likelihood method and based on Baron and Kenny’s four-step analysis; the adequacy of the model and its indicators were confirmed (RMSEA=0.073). Structural equation modeling with Baron and Kenny’s four-step method showed that transformational leadership has a positive and significant impact on human resource development and entrepreneurial orientation, and entrepreneurial orientation significantly mediates the effect of transformational leadership on human resource development. The results of this research can help managers to consider the entrepreneurial orientation in organizational management even in government and public institutions; furthermore, they can benefit from it as a variable in facilitating the development of human resources. It can also be considered as one of the predictor variables of individual growth in the organization with regard to other organizational and individual variables.

Authors: Dukhnytskyi Bogdan
Published: August 2023

Among the most important regional allies of Ukraine, it is worth highlighting the United Kingdom, which first as an EU member state, and then, from 2021, independently, within the framework of a bilateral agreement, contributes in every possible way to the development of free trade, in particular, agricultural, between the two countries. This is evidenced by the constantly growing volumes of exports and imports of agricultural raw materials and food products for Ukraine and the United Kingdom until 2022. The purpose of the study is to examine the dynamics of foreign trade in agricultural and food products between Ukraine and the United Kingdom, including the relationship between the development of mutual trade and the liberalisation of its conditions. Generalisation, analysis, and synthesis, comprehensive assessment, historical, graphic, and tabular methods were used. The general socio-economic characteristics of the UK are given, considering its withdrawal from the European Union and focusing on the current state of trade in agri-food products on the international market. The quantitative and cost indicators of foreign trade in agri-food products between Ukraine and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland since 2012 are analysed, the characteristic features of the commodity structure of export sales and import purchases of Ukraine are considered, including in 2022, the prospects for agricultural trade between the parties in the near future are assessed, in particular, areas for deepening foreign economic cooperation between Ukraine and the United Kingdom are proposed, and groups of products that will remain a priority even in war conditions, considering the needs of internal food markets of both countries are identified. The provisions of the study are aimed at providing information on the possibilities of developing trade in agricultural and food products with the UK for Ukrainian food sector enterprises and public authorities that ensure foreign policy and international cooperation.

Authors: Bera Sanchari , Muhiuddin Ghulam , Pal Madhumangal
Published: August 2023

Graph theory plays a crucial role in the era of computer science, medical science and information technology. The fundamental motivation behind this paper is to present some availability ideas in the m polar interval-valued fuzzy graph (m-PIVFG), which are utilized to portray the interval of the uncertainty of items. What’s more, the m-PIVFG graphs are utilized to portray the underlying connection between ideas in which the vertices and edges are of multi-poles and in the form of interval values to feature the uncertainty conditions. The dominating set involves a basic situation in graph analysis. This paper essentially adds to expanding the idea of double domination in the fuzzy graph to the m-PIVFG and getting the related extended ideas of m-PIVFG. In the interim, the ways to get the particular double dominating sets are introduced. At long last, a numeral model on ambulance service on some villages information in India is introduced to clarify the necessity of double domination in m-PIVFG in the particular application.

Research on quality evaluation of online teaching platform based on RS-BP Neural Network
Authors: Zhu Yiping , Huang Jiajia , Zhu Yi , Guo Yang
Published: August 2023

Online teaching platforms have developed into mainstream knowledge learning and exchange platform. The research on the quality evaluation of online teaching platforms and the construction of an applicable and scientific evaluation index system model can help explore the key factors affecting the quality of online teaching platforms and provide some references for evaluating online teaching platforms and improving online teaching quality. This study combines the rough set theory (RS) with the BP (Back Propagation) neural networks to build an RS-BP neural network model to evaluate the quality of online teaching platforms. Firstly, an initial online teaching platform quality evaluation index system is constructed based on knowledge transfer theory from four aspects: course content, knowledge transmitter, knowledge receiver and teaching platform. Then, 12 core evaluation indicators were generated by attribute reduction using rough set theory, and the weights of each core indication were determined. The normalized data input was then trained, validated, and tested to generate a rough set neural network quality evaluation model for online teaching platforms. After that, three representative online education platforms of content, interaction and compatibility are selected for empirical research. The accuracy of the model is first tested by the error between the simulated and output values, after which the core metric scores and the overall scores are calculated for the three types of platforms. The empirical results demonstrate that the model has certain advantages in terms of index simplification and adaptive training when evaluating online teaching platforms, as well as strong operability and practicality. The evaluation results show that the content online teaching platform has the highest comprehensive score, followed by the compatible and interactive online teaching platforms. According to the index scores, the quality of the course content, stage assessments, and contact between professors and students were identified as major elements influencing the quality of the online teaching platform. Finally, suggestions for optimization for each of the three types of online teaching platforms were made based on the core indicators and their weights, as well as the scores and characteristics of the three types of online teaching platforms, with the goal of improving the quality of online teaching platforms.
Intuitionistic fuzzy normalized weighted geometric Bonferroni means with reducibility and boundedness and application in decision making1
Authors: Liu Weifeng , Chang Juan , He Xia
Published: August 2023

Bonferroni mean (BM) is an important aggregation operator in decision making. The desirable characteristic of the BM is that it can capture the interrelationship between the aggregation arguments or the individual attributes. The optimized weighted geometric Bonferroni mean (OWGBM) and the generalized optimized weighted geometric Bonferroni mean (GOWGBM) proposed by Jin et al in 2016 are the extensions of the BM. However, the OWGBM and the GOWGBM have neither the reducibility nor the boundedness, which will lead to the illogical and unreasonable aggregation results and might make the wrong decision. To overcome these existing drawbacks, based on the normalized weighted Bonferroni mean (NWBM) and the GOWGBM, we propose the normalized weighted geometric Bonferroni mean (NWGBM) and the generalized normalized weighted geometric Bonferroni mean (GNWGBM), which can not only capture the interrelationship between the aggregation arguments, but also have the reducibility and the boundedness. Further, we extend the NWGBM and the GNWGBM to the intuitionistic fuzzy decision environment respectively, and develop the intuitionistic fuzzy normalized weighted geometric Bonferroni mean (IFNWGBM) and the generalized intuitionistic fuzzy normalized weighted geometric Bonferroni mean (GIFNWGBM). Subsequently, we prove some properties of these operators. Moreover, we present a new intuitionistic fuzzy decision method based on the IFNWGBM and the GIFNWGBM. Two application examples and comparisons with other existing methods are used to verify the validity of the proposed method.

Published: August 2023

To study the effects of the anisotropic matrix and structural planes on the splitting strength and failure mode of rocks, Brazilian splitting tests were carried out with seven different loading angles on specimens of rock-like materials with rough structural planes. The surface strains of the samples during the failure process were monitored and analysed with the help of a high-speed camera and digital image correlation (DIC) technology. The test results showed that the Brazilian splitting strength (BSS) decreased gradually with an increased loading angle. According to the crack morphology, the samples showed three failure modes, and the structural plane and the loading angle (θ) had an important effect on the failure mode. When θ < 75°, the sample failure was mainly affected by the matrix, and when θ > 75°, the sample failure was mainly controlled by the structural plane. The numerical simulation of the sample with a structural plane was carried out by the PFC2D particle flow program, the micro parameters were calibrated using a back propagation (BP) neural network model. The internal cracks of the sample under a splitting load were mainly matrix tensile microcracks and structural plane shear microcracks, and the tensile microcracks in the side with the weak matrix appeared significantly earlier than those in the side with the strong matrix. With increasing loading angle, the proportion of tensile microcracks in the matrix increased, while the proportion of shear microcracks in the matrix decreased, especially in the weak matrix. The microcracks at the structural plane mainly changed from tensile microcracks to shear microcracks, and the development degree of microcracks along the structural plane was more significant than that on the weak matrix with increasing loading angle. The results of the study can provide a reference for rock stability evaluation and utilization.
The coordinated fuzzy control of hierarchical power balance of new energy microgrid
Authors: Yao Jingkun , Guo Beibei , Pang Zheng
Published: August 2023

In order to improve the coordinated control effect of hierarchical power balance of new energy microgrid, this paper applies fuzzy control method to this system, and proposes a hierarchical control strategy based on event-triggered communication. Each DG is regarded as a proxy, and the continuous actual value of output is replaced by the state prediction value. Moreover, two different event trigger condition functions for frequency and voltage are designed based on Lyapunov method respectively. At the same time, each DG only communicates with its neighbor DG aperiodic at the event trigger time, and finally all DG are restored to the reference value provided by the virtual leader. Finally, this paper constructs a coordinated fuzzy control simulation system for hierarchical power balance of new energy microgrid. Combined with the simulation results, the method proposed in this paper is feasible.

Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: Financial distress is a primary concern for young adults with cancer. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify material resources, physical and psychological health, and workplace variables that are associated with financial distress in young adult cancer survivors. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted using the Cancer Survivor Employment Needs Survey. Participants were young adults (18–39 years of age) who lived in the United States and had a cancer diagnosis. Multivariable linear regression was used to model relations between financial distress and material resources, physical and psychological health, and workplace variables. RESULTS: Participants (N = 214) were mostly non-Hispanic White (78%), female (79%), and had a mean age of 31 years and 4.6 years post-diagnosis. Material resources, physical and psychological health, and workplace variables were all identified as contributing to study participants’ financial distress. Among the young adults surveyed, financial distress was prevalent, and an array of problems were associated with financial distress. CONCLUSION: Oncology and rehabilitation providers should openly discuss finances with YAs with cancer and guide them to resources that can address their financial, benefits, and vocational needs to ultimately improve quality of life.

Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: A sense of compassion has a core importance in health service delivery. Research on the psychological impact of being compassionate on healthcare workers is limited. OBJECTIVE: This research aims to examine the effect of compassion levels of healthcare workers on their psychological well-being. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional and descriptive study. The population of the research consists of health personnel working throughout Ankara, the capital. The study was carried out with 414 healthcare workers. A personal information form, compassion scale and psychological well-being scale were used in the research questionnaire. RESULTS: A positive and significant relationship was found between compassion and psychological well-being scores. It was determined that compassion positively affected psychological well-being levels. The level of compassion showed that there was a significant difference between the groups according to the variables of gender, family structure, job satisfaction and whether they would choose the same profession again. The level of psychological well-being was found to be significantly different between the groups in education, job satisfaction and making the same profession choice again. CONCLUSION: It is a professional requirement that health professionals in patient care have a sense of compassion and reflect this feeling in their conduct. Research shows that the greater the compassion, the higher the psychological well-being. Therefore, undertaking training initiatives to make healthcare workers more compassionate can contribute to patient care and at the same time to the psychological well-being of healthcare workers.

Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: The impact of patient aggression on primary health care employees is underexplored, yet imperative to address, given high rates of burnout. OBJECTIVE: We qualitatively explore perceptions of patient aggression among staff in women’s health primary care at the Veterans Health Administration (VA). Our objective is to identify coping strategies that staf devised in response to aggressive behavior. METHODS: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 60 VA women’s health primary care employees in 2021 and 2022. Informed by the Job Demands-Resources theoretical model, we used rapid qualitative analysis to identify themes related to patient aggression and employee coping strategies. RESULTS: Disruptive behaviors reported by participants included verbal and physical aggression. Staff cited disruptive patient behavior as emotionally draining and perceived a lack of consequences for low-level aggression. Respondents used coping strategies in response to patient aggression at three time points: before, during, and after a negative interaction. At each point, support from team members emerged as a dominant coping mechanism, as well as rapport-building with patients. CONCLUSION: Patient aggression can negatively impact the work experiences of primary care employees. At VA, women’s health primary care staff have devised multiple strategies to cope with these interactions. However, the ability to effectively prevent and manage patient aggression is limited by the lack of meaningful repercussions for aggression at the organizational level, which has important implications for employee well-being and retention. Retention of women’s health employees in VA is critical given the need for a highly specialized workforce to address the complex health needs of women veterans.
CPTED for a Safe Basti: A Case of Nardan Camp
Authors: Bajaj Vanshika
Published: August 2023

Rapid urbanization has led to the incremental growth of Bastis in Delhi, and these Bastis have become major grounds for crime due to negligence, as well as spaces that become prone to dumping of garbage, criminal activities, and drug addiction. These spaces are generally located near the periphery, which often coincides with the entry to the forest or restricted areas, as in the case of Nardan Camp, Delhi. The residents have faced criminal activities such as theft, eve teasing, robbery, etc. on a daily basis, and women have been the easiest target for the same. The primary research, including the site visits, revealed that the crime was due to easy access to the Basti, lack of physical infrastructure, and behavioral changes in the youth. The study indicated that the problems may be addressed by a few interventions based on the concepts of CPTED. These interventions were proposed after a thorough understanding of the needs and the activity pattern with community participation to bring in a sense of belonging to the dwellers. The public spaces could be made safer by providing basic physical infrastructure such as streetlights, boundary walls, creating buffer zones on the periphery, installing cameras, etc. Also, by providing safe spaces for all age groups. These small interventions can bring a change in the Basti through CPTED and can help transform gloomy dysfunctional public spaces into celebrated community spaces while increasing livability and the quality of life.
Examining GITAM (Deemed to be University), Hyderabad Campus for Crime Prevention through Environmental Design Measures: A Foundation Towards a Safe CPTED Exterior Campus Model
Authors: Reddy Sneha
Published: August 2023

In the present scenario, Campus violence in India is a significant public health issue that needs to be adopted. It affects the user groups physically and psychologically. On 6th February 2020, during the annual cultural fest of Gargi College in New Delhi, a group of men entered the campus and created violence (molestation) on a massive scale. Probable reasons investigated were lack of security, political issues, signal jammers placed on campus, etc. The paper attempts to highlight various frequently emerging problems occurring on various campuses and, as an architect, what has to be adopted while planning for spaces on campuses to prevent crime or violence through environmental designing in the future is explained. These are achieved by choosing the GITAM Hyderabad campus for examining and primarily conducting surveys based on users' perceptions during day and night times, along with the author’s analysis of different spaces in the campus, thereby obtaining secondary data from published papers and finally, formulating findings from the best practices to prevent crime for future safe exterior campus model. The scope for future research would be a detailed study of interior campus CPTEDmeasures. The result of this paper has important implications for any college authorities in India to find practical solutions and plan student-friendly frameworks to prevent violence on a macro level on campuses.
Understanding How the Design of Urban Areas Can Negate Anti-Social Behaviour and Criminal Activity: Taking the Example of Hyderabad Urban Areas as Case Studies
Authors: Bhanja Tapati
Published: August 2023

Cities and towns are developing into well-defined, heavily populated areas, but these areas have advantages and disadvantages of their own. With more residents, a city becomes more diverse, with individuals of all different classes and races. Yet, this diversity frequently breeds crime and a fear of victimization for the people living in urban areas. Most of these antisocial behaviors occur in public and neighborhood areas. This paper tries to identify why public spaces are frequently the scene of antisocial behavior and other approaches to criminal and antisocial behavior beyond simply installing surveillance cameras. It examines the root causes and pressing needs for CPTED and offers a critical assessment of the evidence supporting this approach's effectiveness in crime prevention. It also discusses situational and dispositional approaches to preventing crime based on urban design modules and how designing cities based on opportunity reduction techniques with key themes of activity, surveillance, territorial, definition, and control impacts criminal activity in public spaces based on existing models.

A mixed DESIGN TECHNIQUE/METHODOLOGY is employed, which includes the following steps:
1. Qualitative method – Insights and analysis of other publications and research papers. 2. Quantitative analysis in the form of a survey and an analysis of the existing urban area with and without the CPTED design measures incorporated in the metropolitan area.

LIMITATIONS
Despite lacking conclusive empirical evidence, the paper concludes that a substantial body of research supports the idea that environmental design is a practical and successful strategy for preventing crime.

Authors: Fill Jennifer M. , Miller Hope M. , Crandall Raelene
Published: August 2023

There is an increase in reported tick-borne illnesses as the tick geographic range expands past historical boundaries. Prescribed fires, ignited intentionally for specific management goals, can indirectly affect tick abundance by disrupting tick predator and prey interactions and altering suitable tick habitat. The high temperatures during prescribed fires can also directly induce tick mortality. Repeated prescribed fires in southeastern United States tick habitat can be an affordable and environmentally conscious management option.

Authors: Gutierrez Sergio , Sanchez Tatiana , Tong Zhaohui , Liu Guodong
Published: August 2023

Garcinia humilis is an emerging tropical fruit crop in South Florida commonly known as achachairu. Achachairu has attracted much interest as a healthy fruit crop because it is rich in many nutrients such as foliate, vitamins, riboflavin, minerals, and antioxidants. The current use is limited and localized. To help Extension faculty, growers, and students better understand the potential of achachairu (Garcinia humilis [Vahl] CD Adam)  and Garcinia madruno as profitable crops and their health benefits, this publication is synthesized from literature sources and has been networked with farmers, food processors, chefs, and photographers. This publication provides an overview of achachairu and ocoro (Garcinia madruno [Kunth] Hammel)—two common species in the Garcinia genus—including cultivation methods and use of the two crops grown in Florida.

Keamanan konstruksi menjadi salah satu tujuan dalam perancangan karena berkaitan dengan faktor keamanan dalam lingkungan kerja. Dumping table merupakan alat bantu yang digunakan dalam proses penuangan oli dari tangki IBC menuju tempat penimbangan. Mekanisme kerja dumping table hidrolik adalah untuk memiringkan tangki IBC kapasitas 1000 liter yang berisi oli Shell Catenex S-579. Massa total tangki IBC tersebut adalah 900 kg. Material rangka penyusun dumping table hidrolik adalah ASTM A36. Rangka dudukan tangki IBC dan dudukan silinder menjadi beban utama dalam konstruksi ini. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah simulasi finite element dengan software solidwork. Keamanan konstruksi dilihat melalui factor of safety (FOS), tegangan von misses, serta strain. Konstruksi ini memiliki tegangan von misses pada dudukan silinder hidrolik sebesar 1.222,582 Mpa dan pada rangka dudukan tangki sebesar 116.223 Mpa atau lebih kecil dari kekuatan yield. Dari hasil simulasi diketahui bahwa tidak terjadi regangan serta hasil simulasi pada FOS secara umum berwarna merah menunjukan jika keseluruhan konstruksi berada dalam batas aman.

Splitting merupakan salah satu tahapan proses produksi bambu laminasi. Splitting dilakukan dengan mesin pembelah bambu untuk mengubah batang bambu menjadi bilah-bilah bambu. Dalam proses splitting, komponen booster bergerak maju-mundur di sepanjang rel untuk mendorong bambu yang terletak pada bagian penopang sampai ujung bambu bertumbukan dengan pisau pembelah sehingga batang bambu terbelah menjadi bilah-bilah (bamboo strips). Pada mesin pembelah bambu terdapat track roller bearing yang berfungsi sebagai guide roller. Salah satu komponen penting dalam rangkaian track roller bearing adalah poros. Kasus kegagalan komponen berupa patahnya poros track roller bearing telah dijumpai pada mesin pembelah bambu yang terdapat di sentra kerajinan bambu, Rosse Bambu Yogyakarta. Kerusakan komponen mesin tentu menghambat berjalannya proses produksi bambu laminasi, oleh sebab itu dilakukan analisis kegagalan dalam penelitian ini dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui faktor penyebab kegagalan yang dialami oleh poros track roller bearing pada mesin pembelah bambu sekaligus sebagai upaya antisipasi untuk menghindari terjadinya kasus kegagalan yang serupa. Analisis kegagalan dilakukan dengan melakukan pengujian komposisi kimia material dengan metode Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (AES), pengamatan visual dan pengamatan skala makro terhadap permukaan patahan yang terbentuk, pengujian metalografi untuk mengetahui struktur mikro material poros track roller bearing yang patah, dan pengujian kekerasan Vickers. Permukaan patahan poros tampak terang dan berbentuk granular menunjukkan karakteristik patah getas. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa material poros terbuat dari baja karbon tinggi AISI 1080 yang telah menerima perlakuan quenching dengan nilai kekerasan material sebesar 311,59 HV sehingga material bersifat keras dan getas. Sifat tersebut mengakibatkan poros tidak mampu menahan beban kejut yang diterima saat proses pembelahan bambu berlangsung. Kesimpulan yang diperoleh yaitu kegagalan yang terjadi disebabkan oleh faktor pemilihan material dan perlakuan panas yang dilakukan tidak sesuai untuk aplikasi poros track roller bearing pada mesin pembelah bambu.

Pada zaman ini, penggunaan bahan bakar minyak minyak (BBM) merupakan kebutuhan energi yang tidak dapat diperbarui yang tidak sebanding dengan meningkatnya jumlah kendaraan sehingga pasokan volume BBM semakin menurun. Selain itu, masalah lingkungan berupa peningkatan jumlah sampah yang juga semakin tinggi dikarenakan proses penguraian yang memerlukan  khususnya pada sampah plastik. Oleh karenanya diperlukan cara mengatasi permasalahan tersebut dengan membuat bahan bakar minyak dengan mengekstrak energi yang terdapat pada sampah menggunakan termal. Pirolisis adalah proses dekomposisi secara kimia-termal pada keadaan tanpa oksigen yang terjadi didalam reaktor. Produk utama dari teknologi ini adalah MHP (Minyak Hasil Pirolisis). Minyak inilah yang diharapkan mampu mengatasi berkurangnya bahan bakar fosil dengan dilakukan pengujian performa MHP pada mesin secara langsung. Pengujian dilakukan dengan melihat kinerja yang dihasilkan dengan melakukan variasi campuran bahan bakar. Emisi gas buang juga dilakukan guna mendapatkan data dari efek penggunaan MHP sebagai campuran BBM. Hal ini ditujukan untuk mengetahui secara keseluruhan bagaimana potensi dari MHP agar nantinya bukannya menghasilkan energi terbarukan tetapi juga ramah lingkungan sehingga menghasilkan energi yang bersih dan berkualitas.
