This article demonstrates a new approach of multiple additions direct potentiometric determination of nitrate ion in natural and potable freshwater. The main feature of this approach is no need to pre-calibrate the electrode and to use the slope in the calculations. The experimental procedure is very similar to one of classic potentiometric titration. To test and illustrate the approach, ion-selective electrodes with tridodecylmethylammonium nitrate as ion-exchanger in plasticized membrane were produced. The application of the proposed mathematical algorithm for processing of data obtained by the method of multiple standard additions simplifies and speeds up the analysis by reducing the number of required manipulations, while maintaining high accuracy of analysis. The work of the method and calculation algorithm were tested on real samples of natural river water taken from the rivers Saone and Rhone (Lyon, France); possibility of nitrate determination in low mineralized natural waters at the level of 10 mg L-1 corresponding to 1/5 of maximum allowable concentration was shown.

Authors: De Oliveira Renê Pomilio , Augusto Foronda Lourival Aparecido de Góis,
Published: July 2022

Scheduling Algorithm is a key Radio ResourceManagement (RRM) mechanism to achieve Quality of Service(QoS) requirements and to optimize system performance of LongTerm Evolution (LTE) network. The LTE standard does notspecify a scheduling algorithm and some schedules have beenproposed in the literature. Most of them consider the channelstate or some QoS metric, however, they do not consider thePF characteristics and the delay required by the user. Then, anenhanced scheduling algorithm was proposed based on Latency-Rate (LR) server theory and system characteristics specifiedby the LTE standard. Properties of this proposal have beeninvestigated theoretically and through simulations. A simulationis presented with video traffic and also performance comparisonswith Proportional Fairness (PF) and Modified Largest WeightedDelay First (MLWDF) schedulers. The results show that theproposed schedule has a better performance compared with theabove schedulers.
Capacity Enhancement of Multiuser Wireless Communication System through Adaptive Non-Linear Pre coding
Authors: Kumar Neeraj , Kaur Dalveer
Published: July 2022

Multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear pre coding techniques face the issue of poor computational scalability of the size of the network. But by this nonlinear pre coding technique the interference is pre-cancelled automatically and also provides better capacity. So in order to reduce the computational burden in this paper, a definitive issue of MU-MIMO scalability is tackled through a non-linear adaptive optimum vector perturbation technique. Unlike the conventional (Vector Perturbation) VP methods, here a novel anterograde tracing is utilized which is usually recognized in the nervous system thus reducing complexity. The tracing of distance can be done through an iterative-optimization procedure. By this novel non-linear technique the capacity is improved to a greater extend which is explained practically. By means of this, the computational complexity is managed to be in the cubic order of the size of MUMIMO, and this mainly derives from the inverse of the channel matrix. The proposed signal processing system has been implemented in the working platform of MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simulation results of proposed communication system and comparison with existing systems shows the significance of the proposed work.

Authors: Abdellaoui Ayoub , Elmhamdi Jamal , Berradi Halim
Published: July 2022

Increasing stability is one of the main objectives in designing routing protocols for Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANETS). Various research schemes have been addressed to this challenge and to support it. In fact, some papers have considered modifications to MPRs selection mechanism in OLSR. In this paper, the author proposes a new mechanism to elect stable and sustainable nodes relay between all nodes in MANETs. In this mechanism, a mobility function is used as the main selection criterion based on the calculation of the spatial relation of a node relative to its neighbor. This mechanism is applied in OLSR protocol to choose stable and supportable MPRs nodes. This mechanism significantly finds more stable MPRs and it promises QoS metrics such as lost packets and delay. Simulation results reveals a significant performance gains and it motivates further examinations to develop the mechanism in order to improve the routing protocol requirements. Performances are evaluated based on Random Waypoint model and network simulator ns3.
Numerical Simulation of Optimized Placement of Distibuted Generators in Standard Radial Distribution System Using Improved Computations
Authors: Pawan Kumar Tiwari Puneet Sharma,
Published: July 2022

The need for energy globally has increased recently. Additionally, the idea of distributed generation is propelled by the absence of suitable transmission capacity, exaggerated transmission and distribution disasters, and the release of power advertising. Numerous benefits of distributed generation (DG) include a decrease in energy loss during force transfer and a reduction in the length and width of electrical cables. By lowering power quality and other problems, the use of the DGs with the current force distribution arrangements may enhance the intensity standard. The impacts of distributed generators (DGs) are discussed in this article in relation to various operating situations and the voltage measurement output of the regulator, which is typically accessible in grid interface. The investigation's goals are to locate the best DG connection point in the DS, reduce the power and voltage profile, and improve compliance with the power efficiency limitations. The procedure has been simulated in the MATLAB Simulink system using the Institute of Electricity's test system (IEEE), and the results are displayed using numerical simulation. As a result, the system voltage profile was improved.

Authors: Öztürk Furkan , Ceylan Bayram , Balci Şükrü Serdar
Published: August 2022

In judo tournaments, matches for each weight category are held on the same day and athletes competing at the finals have to compete at different times of the day. This study aimed to investigate the effect of time-of-day on judo specific performance and the changes in physiological load following judo specific performance. Fourteen male judo athletes (age 19.1±1.4 years) voluntarily participated in the study. At the 1st visit, anthropometrical measurements and familiarization procedures were conducted and the athletes’ chronotype was determined. Athletes performed the Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT) during 2nd and 3rd visits. Athletes randomly performed two consecutive SJFTs with 15 min intervals at 10:00h, which is the official start time of matches, and at 18:00h which is the time when the finals start. During SJFT applications, athletes heart rate (HR), blood lactate (bLA), body temperature and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were monitored. The changes in total throw numbers (F1, 13= 1.32, p=0.27) and SJFT index (F1, 13= 0.30, p=0.59) were not different between morning and evening. There were similar changes in bLA (F4, 52=0.66, p=0.63), RPE (F1, 13=1.42, p=0.26) and body temperature (F1.4, 18.0=1.18, p=0.31) which were measured before and after the tests. However, HR measured in the evening were higher compared to morning measurement at all measurement times (F1, 13=10.28, p=0.01), but there was no difference in SJFT throws (F3.8, 48.8=0.49, p=0.74). In conclusion, different times of the day did not affect judo specific performance as well as physiological variables in judo athletes.
Pharmacokinetic availability of proteolytic enzymes after oral administration: a narrative review of the literature
Authors: Shete Mohit R. , Popere Sanjay V. , John James
Published: July 2022

Orally administered serine and cysteine proteolytic enzymes are used extensively in the therapy of various inflammatory conditions. However, due to their protein nature, there have been concerns about these enzymes undergoing digestion or biotransformation in the gut and the resultant amount of active enzyme reaching blood circulation and at the site of inflammation. Research has shown that orally administered serine and cysteine proteases are able to pass through the mucosal barrier of the gastrointestinal tract and reach the blood and lymph as intact, high molecular weight and physiologically active forms. These have been studied in in vitro, animal models and further confirmed in human studies. Despite high inter-individual variability, the maximum plasma levels of the free proteases follow dose linearity. They circulate bound to plasma anti-proteases and are detectable in clinically significant concentrations. Targeted studies also indicate that paracellular transport mechanism may play a significant role in the absorption of these molecules. We present a summary of the existing knowledge from these studies.

Authors:   The Korea Association of Yeolin Education, Jung Minsoo
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this study is to propose a design and operation plan for a curriculum consulting program by exploring the components of the curriculum maturity of elementary school teachers participating in the curriculum conference. To this end, prior research related to curriculum consulting was analyzed and a teacher-learning community centered on the same grade was formed to reconstruct the teacher-level curriculum. In addition, elementary school teachers participating in the curriculum conference were interviewed and a basic survey on the maturity of the curriculum was conducted through an open questionnaire. After that, 24 component factors needed for elementary school teachers were derived through a Delphi survey on the expert group and the selection of component factors of curriculum maturity. However, through the selection meeting of the curriculum expert group, the final 20 component factors were selected by excluding the component factors that were difficult to reinforce the reconfiguration capacity through curriculum consulting.
Specifically, in order to compose a systematic curriculum consulting program, the curriculum maturity that elementary school teachers should have was classified into four core scales: curriculum diversity, curriculum systems, curriculum specificity, and curriculum effectiveness. In addition, the curriculum maturity reflected in the curriculum consulting program was refined into the competency and execution level of the curriculum for each core scale, and the curriculum consulting program was devised by modularizing it. In other words, in order to effectively operate the curriculum consulting program, each module consists of 4 stages: Diagnosis, Deliberation, Development, and Advancement. In conclusion, it could be said that the reconstruction of the teacher-level curriculum of the teacher learning community through curriculum consulting became a useful scaffolding strategy for improving curriculum literacy and strengthening the professionalism of participating teachers.

Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE), chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and other prothrombotic complications remains a challenge due to various clinical manifestations. In recent years, numerous studies have focused on finding reliable biomarkers to confirm pathology. It was shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression in a wide range of pathophysiological processes, and their profile can change in different cardiovascular diseases. miRNAs are involved in many biological processes, including proliferation, apoptosis and cell differentiation, and angiogenesis. Therefore, circulating miRNAs are considered as new biomarkers. The paper presents basic information on the role of microRNA in the genesis of PE and postthromboembolic complications.
Kharif Onion Production in India- Present Status and Future Potential: A Review
Authors: Sharma Deepa , Chauhan Aanchal
Published: July 2022

Onion is one of the most important commercial crops in India which is used as a vegetable, spice and rich in medicinal properties. In India major onion producing states are Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Gujrat, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan. In South India onion is cultivated three times in a year as rabi, kharif and late kharif crop whereas, in North India it is generally cultivated as rabi crop. Major portion (60%) of onion produce comes from rabi season while kharif and late kharif crops contributes to a little extent (40%) in some parts of country. Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Rajasthan are major kharif onion producing states. Rabi onion is generally harvested in April-May whereas kharif onion and late kharif is harvested in the month of October-November and January-February, respectively. Major portion of rabi season produce is stored upto October month for domestic consumption. There is a critical gap in supply of onion from the months of October to December. Therefore, kharif onion plays an important role not only in fulfilling consumers demand but also in controlling market price of onion. So far kharif onion production in India is limited to three four states only and it should be prioritized in other states too by keeping in view its importance. Various research perspectives, challenges and management strategies involved in kharif onion production has been reviewed in this article.

Authors: Sowmya K. , Bindhu J.S. , Pillai P.  Shalini
Published: July 2022

Pulses, endowed with unique ability of nitrogen fixation constitute an important component of crop diversification and resource conservation in farming systems. System of crop intensification (SCI) is an agricultural production strategy that seeks to increase and optimize the benefits that can be derived from making better use of available resources: soil, water, seeds, nutrients, solar radiation and air. System of crop intensification practices enable the crop to grow and develop potentially which provides enhanced production in sustainable and eco-friendly manner. Therefore, classical crop cultivation practices need to overhaul by adopting system of crop intensification for more profitability and sustainability. It includes ecosystem services taking full account of the factors and interactions of time and space so that field operations are conducted in a timely way. System of crop intensification has emerged as a next generation agro-ecological innovation. System of crop intensification principles and practices build upon the productive potentials that derive from plants having larger, more efficient, longer lived root systems and from their symbiotic relationships with a more abundant, diverse and active soil biota. Adoption of system of crop intensification practices in pulses may enhance the productivity and ecological sustainability of the system and reduce the gap between per capita availability and consumption of pulses and also enhancing the resource use efficiency of the system.

Background: The native chicken breeds were evolved over natural selection since time immemorial. The immunocompetence status of chicken breed tells us about its general response to diseases. It was assumed that the native birds survive in harsh climatic conditions and has a higher degree of resistance to diseases as compared with other exotic breeds. Methods: Indian native chicken breeds viz. Black Nicobari, Ghagus and exotic breed, Dahlem Red were studied for their growth and immunocompetence traits under deep litter management system. The native and exotic breeds were evaluated for Cutaneous Basophil Hypersensitivity (CBH) response against Phytohaemagglutinin-P (PHA-P), humoral immune response against Newcastle disease virus (NDV) antigen and Flow Cytometry analysis of CD8+ Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Result: The Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL/µl) population significantly differed (P less than 0.05) between native Ghagus (2132.34±69.526) and Black Nicobari (2023.53±75.14) vs exotic breeds Dahlem Red 1649.49±64.54) of chicken.CBH response to PHA-P significantly differed (P less than 0.05) between Ghagus (375.836±15.04) and Dahlem Red (267.603±13.99). Sex wise CBH response (based on pooled samples across breeds) showed that females had significantly higher response as compared to males. Serum haemagglutination inhibition titre (log2) in response to ND vaccine was significantly (P less than 0.05) higher in Dahlem Red chicken (2.44±0.12) as compared to the two native breeds. Females were having significantly higher HI titre compared to males. In conclusion, the NDV response was considerably higher in exotic breeds as compared to native breeds; however, the trend was just the reverse in case of CBH response.

Cholangiocarcinoma: early detection and screening in high-risk population
Authors: Muñoz-Martínez Sergio , Rimola Jordi , Londoño María Carlota , Cárdenas Andrés , Forner Alejandro
Published: July 2022

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly lethal malignancy that comprises approximately 15% of all the primary liver tumors and 3% of gastrointestinal cancers. Diagnosis is often done when the disease is already at advanced stages, resulting in poor outcomes. Prevention of risk factors and early diagnosis are the cornerstones for improving survival. Early diagnosis is feasible in the setting of surveillance programs in patients at high risk of CCA such as patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis. Regrettably, surveillance of CCA in this population is hampered by the low diagnostic accuracy of current tumor markers at earlier stages, the difficulties of imaging techniques for the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant biliary strictures, and the need for invasive procedures for diagnostic confirmation. In this review we discuss the rationale for surveillance of CCA in high-risk populations, particularly patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis, the recommended tools for surveillance and diagnostic work-up, and future perspectives.

Published: July 2022

In the exploitation of shale gas in deep and ultradeep formations, the mechanical properties of shale change under the action of high temperature and pressure. High-temperature stimulation can effectively release the damage of water phase trapping, which was caused during the drilling and completion of hydraulic fracturing of shale gas reservoirs. In this paper, the experiments have twelve groups of shale samples (three samples per group) under four target temperatures, 25, 200, 400, and 600°C as well as the confining pressure set as 0 MPa, 15 MPa, and 30 MPa. The servo testing machine is used to perform triaxial compression tests on the shale specimens that have undergone high temperature. The porosity, permeability, and velocity are also obtained under different temperatures. A statistical constitutive model of shale after temperature thermal damage under triaxial compression is established. Based on the characteristics of the random statistical distribution of rock strength and strain strength theory, apply relevant knowledge of damage mechanics as well as consider the failure of the microprotocol and the nonlinear relationship between elastic modulus and temperature. According to the test results, the relationship between the mechanical parameters of the shale and the temperature is discussed. The parameters of the statistical constitutive model considering temperature thermal damage are given also; a comparison with the results of uniaxial compression experiments shows the rationality and reliability. This work not only enriches the theory of shale failure pattern but also contributes to the deep shale development at high temperature.

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in spatial modeling, and flood hazard prediction is a major area of interest within the field of hydrology. It is necessary to consider return periods for identifying the flood hazard zones. In hydraulic modeling such as HEC-RAS, this is usually done, but in the spatial modeling with machine learning (ML) models this has not been taken into account so far. This study seeks to obtain data that will help to address this research gap. The Sentinel-1 Radar images have been used for identifying the flooded locations in different return periods. An embedded feature selection algorithm (i.e., recursive feature elimination random forest; RFE-RF) was used in the current research for key features selection. Then, three ML models of Neural Networks using Model Averaging (avNNet), Classification and Regression Tree (CART), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) were employed. The flood hazard prediction demonstrated a great performance for all the applied models (i.e., accuracy and precision > 90%, Kappa > 88%). Sensitivity analysis disclosed that the variables of elevation and distance from stream are in the first importance order, the variables of precipitation, slope, and land use are in the second importance order, and other variables are in the third importance order in all return periods. The modeling results indicated that among man-made land uses the irrigated area between 17.7% and 31.4%, dry farming from 0.5% to 2.4%, and residential areas between 8.3% and 25.1% are exposed to high and very high flood hazard areas. The current findings add to a growing body of literature on the spatial modeling of floods.

BackgroundSchizophrenia Spectrum disorders cause suffering for patients, relatives, and the surrounding society. Paranoid ideations, encompassing ideas of social reference and manifest persecutory delusions, are among the most frequent symptoms in this population and a cause of significant distress. Recent meta-analyses of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for psychosis show small to moderate effect sizes in reducing paranoid ideations. Virtual Reality based CBT (VR-CBT) could improve therapy efficacy as exposure and behavioral experiments in VR can be optimized, individualized and carried out in a safe environment. Few VR-CBT studies exist for paranoid ideations and there is a need for large scale, methodological rigorous trials.MethodsThis study is a randomized, assessor-blinded parallel-groups multi-centre superiority clinical trial, fulfilling the CONSORT criteria for non-pharmacological treatment. A total of 256 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia spectrum disorder, including schizotypal disorder (ICD-10 F20-29), will be allocated to either 10 sessions of symptom specific CBT-VR plus treatment as usual - versus 10 sessions of standard symptom specific CBT for paranoid ideations (CBT) plus treatment as usual. All participants will be assessed at baseline, treatment end (3 months post baseline) and then 9 months post baseline. A stratified block-randomization with concealed randomization sequence will be conducted. Independent assessors blinded to the treatment will evaluate outcome. Analysis of outcome will be carried out with the intention to treat principles.The primary outcome is ideas of social reference measured with Green Paranoid Thought Scale Part A (GPTS-A) at cessation of treatment at 3 months post baseline. Secondary outcomes are ideas of persecution (GPTS-B); ﻿Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS); Personal and Social Performance scale (PSP); Safety Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) and CANTAB Emotion Recognition Task.Discussion: The trial will elucidate whether VR-CBT can enhance therapy efficacy for paranoid ideations. Additionally, Trial findings will provide evidence on effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of VR-CBT for paranoid ideations that can guide the possible dissemination and implementation into clinical practice.

“Face” in Retrospective: A Survey of Thanking in Old Saxon and Old High German
Authors: Concu Valentina
Published: August 2022

Despite being often criticized, the notion of face has recently started to be applied in diachronic pragmatic investigations. These studies focus on speech acts such as explicit directives, requests, apologies, and terms of address. This trend suggests that “face” can be used as a valid tool to understand speakers’ behaviors in historical contexts. This study also uses the notion of face to investigate the speech act of thanking in Old Saxon and Old High German, filling a long-standing gap in the literature. The results of this study suggest that, although the expression of gratitude was common and perceived in a positive way in these two societies, this speech act could only be found when the addresser was in a lower social position than the addressee. On the one hand, these findings provide evidence to the claim that the effects of a speech act on the speaker’s or hearer’s face are mostly determined by the situation in which a specific behavior takes place. On the other hand, they also point to the strictly hierarchical structure of the Old Saxon and Old High German societies.

The learning method is considered as one of the most important components in the learning process. A teacher should be able to choose and use learning methods that are in accordance with learning objectives and needs of students because it can increase interest and learning outcames. This study aims to determine the effect of applying the nazam memorization method in qawa’id  learning on students` interest in learning and the ability to undestand Arabic rules at the Al Hikmah Islamic Boarding School Tasikmalaya. This research is a quantitative reseach with correlational descreptive method. The result showed that the application of the nazam memorization method in qawa’id learning reached an average of 83,16% (very good category), students` interest in learning qawa’id reached an average of 74,8% (good category), the ability to understand the rules of Arabic reached an average of 75,9% (good category), the effect of applying the nazam memorization method in qawa’id learning on students` interest reached 35% meaning that there are other factors of 65% that can affect students` interest in learning, and the effect of applying the nazam memorization method in qawa’id learning on the ability to understand qawa’id  reached 36% meaning that there are other factors of 64% that can affect the ability to understand qawa’id.

Based on 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) data, as many as 250,715,502 positive Covid-19 confirmed cases, the death rate of Covid-19 sufferers is 5,062,106 (COVID-19 Handling Acceleration Task Force, 2020). The increase in the number of people suffering from Covid-19 proves that Covid-19 spreads easily and quickly (World Health Organization, 2021). The Covid-19 virus attacks all ages, including vulnerable groups, one of which is pregnant women. During the Covid-19 pandemic, health services must continue to run optimally and be safe for patients and midwives with various adjustments based on Covid-19 handling guidelines or health protocols. Implementing antenatal classes during pregnancy and the role of the midwife or health worker is essential in identifying pregnant women class participants who will attend antenatal classes during pregnancy, including in the preparation phase. The objective is to systematically map research conducted in this field and identify the role of midwives in implementing class services for pregnant women during the pandemic. The method used is Prisma Flowchart (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analyses) to describe the literature search flow. The article search uses four databases (Google Scholar, Pubmed, Wiley, and Science Direct).
BİLSEM MÜZİK SINAVINDA ÖĞRENCİLERİN VE VELİLERİN SINAVA İLİŞKİN FARKINDALIKLARINI ARTTIRMAYA YÖNELİK BİR ÇALIŞMA (AKSARAY İLİ ÖRNEĞİ)

İlköğretim (6-12) çağı yetenek alanlarının, yaşanan deneyimlere göre farklılaştığı, deneyimlemelerden edinilen tecrübenin oldukça önemli olduğu bir dönemdir. Seçme sınavları çocuklar için bu farklılaşmanın gerçekleştiği önemli anlardandır ve bu noktada sınav hakkında bilgili olmak, sınava bilinçli katılmak gibi kavramlar ön plana çıkar. Bunu farkındalık olarak tanımlarsak, bu kavramı çocuğun sınavda kendisinden beklenenlerden ve sınav ortamından haberdar olması, seçme sınavında kendini ifade edebileceği bir duruma ulaşması olarak tanımlayabiliriz. Bu araştırmanın amacı BİLSEM müzik yetenek değerlendirme sınavında öğrencilerin sınavla ilgili farkındalıklarını arttırmak için neler yapılabileceği ile ilgili bir örnek çalışma yapmaktır. Bu amaçla saha çalışması için Aksaray seçilmiş ve BİLSEM müzik yetenek değerlendirme sınavına girmeye hak kazanmış öğrenci ve velilerinden, gönüllü olanlar ile farkındalık kazandırmayı amaçlayan 2 saatlik bir seminer gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcılarla seminer öncesi ve sonrası ile BİLSEM sınavı sonrası görüşmeler yapılmış bu görüşmeler betimsel analiz yapılarak çözümlenmiştir. Seminerin öğrencilerin sınav anında kendilerini daha iyi ifade etmelerine yardımcı olduğu, seçilme endişesini azaltarak sınavın asıl amacı olan yeteneklerini ortaya koyma konusunda öğrencilerin ihtiyacı olan zihinsel hazırlamaya yardımcı olduğu görülmüştür.
