The effectiveness of using noise-resistant codes with spectrum expansion in small-sized communication networks
Authors: Sidelnikov G.M
Published: July 2024

The noise immunity of codes with spectrum expansion is considered on the basis of their correlation properties, which determine the signal distances. The noise immunity of the codes was compared on the basis of theoretical and experimental data on the propagation of radio waves in rooms. The classification of the constructed models makes it possible to determine the effectiveness of using various codes. It is shown that the bandwidth of the channel is determined by both the propagation model and the code used and it is limited, which requires the use of either directional antennas at reception or spaced reception, both at transmission and reception.
Grounding resistance of a single earthing electrode
Authors: Butenkov V. V.
Published: July 2024

On traditional (copper) and fiber-optic communication lines, grounding is installed to protect the lives of workers and subscribers, as well as equipment and communication cables. For better protection, the grounding resistance should be low. Therefore, grounding is performed by a multi-electrode circuit of parallel connected single earth electrodes. The grounding resistance of a single earthing electrode depends on its dimensions (length and diameter), the depth of the earthing electrode and the resistivity of the soil. The research and calculation estimation of the change in the value of grounding resistance of a single earthing electrode have been carried out. The results are analyzed and recommendations are given.

There have been limited studies conducted on the anatomy, physiology, and histology of the skin of non-human primates (NHPs). The majority of this research was done by William Montagna and his colleagues in the 1960s and 1970s. Understanding the skin characteristics of NHPs is important for comprehending their biology and behavior, as well as for conducting complementary dermatological examinations and various experiments. This knowledge is particularly important in the diagnosis of specific zoonoses. However, veterinary dermatology for NHPs faces a challenge in obtaining information from both human and veterinary dermatology disciplines, which can lead to diagnostic and therapeutic decisions based on two distinct bodies of literature. Therefore, an integrated approach to dermatology in NHPs is critical, without assuming that the pathology in NHPs is identical to that in humans. This review article aims to highlight the key scientific studies related to the skin of NHPs, with the goal of expanding knowledge about their dermatological characteristics. It also seeks to provide valuable insights for researchers in the field, contributing to a better understanding of dermatology in non-human primates.

Authors: Portella Daiane Aparecida Camargo
Published: July 2024

Solanum L. trata-se do gênero mais robusto de Solanaceae e embora uma quantidade representativa de seus membros seja considerada invasora, muitos de seus representantes permanecem incompreendidos do ponto de vista reprodutivo. Estudos da biologia floral são importantes para a compreensão dos aspectos ecológicos e funcionais, assim como dos eventos que culminam na reprodução e dispersão de plantas. No presente estudo foram conduzidas análises da biologia floral de Solanum seaforthianum, presente em uma área urbana de Maringá, Paraná. As análises permitiram identificar a presença de inflorescências pendentes do tipo cimeira paniculada, composta por flores em diferentes estágios de desenvolvimento reprodutivo, com sequência floração iniciando da base. Na fase de botão floral, as pétalas são esverdeadas, carnosas e unidas pelas margens e assumem a função de proteção do botão. As flores são pentâmeras, diclamídeas, heteroclamídeas com pétalas de coloração lavanda, repletas de tricomas birrefringentes e sépalas reduzidas, apresentam dicogamia e hercogamia, sendo os estames heterodínamos e abertura poricida. A espécie em questão apresenta termogênese floral, que pode estar relacionada a manutenção de um microclima e volatilização de odores. Insetos dos táxons Formicidae, Hemiptera e Coleoptera foram identificados como visitantes florais durante o estudo. Desse modo, as flores de S. seaforthianum dispõem de especializações estruturais na abertura de suas flores, disponibilidade de atrativos e recursos florais e mecanismos temporais e estruturais para evitar a autogamia, além disso, pode se tratar de uma espécie entomófila generalista.

Published: July 2024

Drying kinetics, along with mathematical modeling, provides means for simulations and predictions to achieve process optimizations. This study investigated the drying kinetics of Criollo and Forastero cocoa beans, varieties cultivated in the Amazon region, at three different temperatures (50 °C, 60 °C, and 70 °C). The results showed that the two varieties exhibited distinct behaviors during the drying process. The temperature of 60 °C was the most effective, as it provided seed water content closer to 8% for the Criollo (8.15% d.b.) and Forastero (8.89% d.b.) varieties. Mathematical models were fitted to the experimental data to analyze the drying kinetics. The Midili model (R² > 0.998, DQM < 0.02) provided the best fits for both varieties at all tested temperatures. The model parameters indicated that the drying rate increased with higher temperature and longer exposure time to drying air. Internal resistance to water transfer varied in some models, indicating a possible influence of thermal conditions. This study contributes to a better understanding of cocoa bean drying, providing important information for optimizing industrial drying processes. The results emphasize the importance of considering the specific characteristics of different cocoa varieties when developing efficient drying strategies.
Ativismo judicial no constitucionalismo brasileiro contemporâneo
Authors: Pereira Joel de Matos
Published: July 2024

Este artigo pretende identificar como o ativismo judicial surgiu e quais são os seus efeitos no constitucionalismo brasileiro contemporâneo. Para tanto, no primeiro tópico, apontou-se como se dá a disposição constitucional do Poder Judiciário, destacando suas funções, garantias e missões. Além disso, buscou-se realizar um apanhado doutrinário com o intuito de identificar como a clássica literatura constitucionalista interpreta o Poder Judiciário. No segundo tópico, analisou-se como o direito responsivo, característico da experiência jurídica contemporânea, foi responsável por criar um ambiente favorável ao ativismo judicial. No terceiro tópico, verificou-se que a atuação desmedida do Poder Judiciário e a politização da justiça acabam por violar direitos fundamentais e comprometer a separação dos poderes. Conclui-se que o ativismo judicial deve ser controlado pelo Estado. Esse controle constitui um grande desafio para a teoria da separação dos poderes na contemporaneidade, sendo essencial para garantir o equilíbrio entre as funções dos diversos poderes e proteger a ordem democrática.

Published: July 2024

Atualmente as taxas de transtorno depressivo maior (TDM) durante a gestação mostram-se relevantes, porém existe uma carência de evidências claras e objetivas sobre a segurança do uso de antidepressivos durante o período. Este estudo objetiva compreender se existe associação entre uso de antidepressivos durante a gestação e o desenvolvimento de transtorno do espectro autista (TEA) como desfecho. Além disso, verificam-se achados conflitantes na literatura no que diz respeito à relação entre o uso antidepressivos e o desenvolvimento de autismo. Em razão de tais controvérsias, foi realizado uma revisão integrativa da literatura utilizando as plataformas PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e o ScienceDirect, com artigos publicados entre 2014 e 2024 e que tratem do uso de antidepressivos durante a gestação e o autismo como possível desfecho. Como conclusão, sugere-se que o uso de antidepressivo durante a gestação não aumenta, de maneira significativa, o risco do desenvolvimento de autismo na prole, de forma que a maioria dos estudos que promoveram o controle dos fatores de confusão, não encontraram aumento significativo do risco de desenvolvimento de TEA. Além disso, mesmo os estudos que encontraram associações positivas, não demonstraram dados consistentes. No entanto, a depressão materna mostra-se um importante fator de confusão, pois a doença materna referida, isoladamente, aparenta fornecer o risco de TEA na prole.

Published: July 2024

The tomato, a rich source of essential nutrients such as vitamins A and C, potassium, and antioxidants, plays a crucial role in human nutrition, promoting health and preventing diseases. In Brazil, its production is vital, involving significant resources and labor. The correct nutritional management of the crop can improve the nutritional attributes of tomato fruits, therefore the correct use of fertilizers is of great importance due to the high need for phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium, throughout the crop cycle. Nutritional management is of great importance in tomato fields due to its high fertilizer requirements throughout the entire crop cycle. This study aimed to assess the effect of different fertilizer doses and management systems on the physicochemical characteristics of tomatoes. The experiment followed a factorial design with five fertilizer doses (A0: 0%; A1: 50%; A2: 100%; A3: 150%; A4: 200% of the recommended dose) and four conduction systems, with three replications. Productivity, lycopene content, total soluble solids (TSS), nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium fruit contents were evaluated. The results showed that higher fertilizer doses increased lycopene levels, reaching 80 μg g-1 with 200% fertilization, while 0% provided 30 μg g-1. Total soluble solids above 4°Bx were observed at doses above 150%, regardless of planting density. Nitrogen content reached 26 mg·100 g-1f.m., favored by lower densities. Calcium was influenced by fertilizer doses, with higher concentrations at 150%. In conclusion, the application of 150% fertilizer dose improved the nutritional quality of tomatoes, and the 200% dose provided suitable levels of TSS and lycopene for processing.

Published: July 2024

Uma das grandes complicações para a Medicina Veterinária é identificar certas hemoparasitoses devido a sua semelhança com outras enfermidades e pela ausência de pesquisas que reúnam as características gerais dessas doenças de forma isolada. Portanto, a presente revisão sistemática teve por objetivo reunir e avaliar os artigos publicados acerca das características gerais do protozoário Rangelia vitalii em cães. O trabalho teve como metodologia a revisão sistemática nas bases de dados PubMed, Scielo, Google Scholar, Lilacs e Plataforma Lume, dos artigos científicos publicados no período de 2019 a 2024. Observa-se que as características da rangeliose canina assemelha-se com diversas outras hemoparasitoses, mas com o devido diagnóstico feito o mais rápido possível que viabilizará o tratamento adequado, o animal não sofrerá com os diversos sinais clínicos, o que resulta na sua rápida recuperação. Após a avaliação de todos (15) os artigos, conclui-se que não há muitas pesquisas voltadas à Rangelia vitalii em cães, dificultando, assim, na propagação das informações sobre hemoparasitose. Ressaltamos que está doença está reemergindo no Brasil.
Exploring the Icebergs of Adult Learning: Findings of the First Canadian Survey of Informal Learning Practices
Authors: Livingstone D.W.
Published: July 2024

This paper provides empirical estimates of the extent and distribution of self-reported
learning activities in the current Canadian adult population, based
on a recent country-wide survey, and briefly addresses some implications of
these adult learning patterns. The basic finding from the survey is that most
Canadian adults are spending a great deal and increasing amount of time in
learning activities, most of this in informal learning on their own. The major
implications are that Canada is an increasingly knowledge-based society in
any reasonable sense of the term and that Canadian adults' informal learning
practices should more explicitly be taken into account in shaping educational,
economic, and other social policies. As well, adult educators should take this
detectable informal learning into greater account to develop more responsive
further education opportunities.

Résumé

Ce texte propose une estimation empirique de l'importance et de la distribution
des activités d'apprentissage auto-rapportées, selon une enquête pan
canadienne récente. On a trouvé que la majorité des adultes canadiens
consacrent de plus en plus de temps à leurs activités d'auto-apprentissage,
dont la majeure partie demeure informelle. Le Canada apparaît ainsi comme
une société fondée sur le savoir. Or, les pratiques d'apprentissage informel des
adultes canadiens doivent être davantage liées à l'élaboration de politiques
éducatives, économiques et sociales. Les éducateurs d'adultes eux-mêmes
doivent tenir compte du phénomène de l'autoformation dans I'élaboration de
leurs programmes et activités d'apprentissage.
Global Vision or Corporate Nightmare? The Privatization of Adult Education in the New Millennium
Authors: Sumner Jennifer
Published: July 2024

Adult education in the new millennium is examined through a critical lens:
Whose interests will it serve? After discussing corporate globalization, the
World Bank, and the UNESCO World Conference on Higher Education, this
paper focuses on the implications for adult education of the privatizing
agenda. It then argues that adult education can open blocked public space
which, in turn, can enhance civil capital and help people and communities
to build the healthy civil society they require to resist the colonizing effects
of corporate globalization.

Résumé

Quels intérêts l'éducation des adultes servira-t-elle dans le prochain
millénaire? Dans le contexte de la mondialisation des marchés, de
l'influence croissante de la Banque Mondiale, et de la Conférence mondiale
sur l'éducation supérieure de l'UNESCO, ce texte se penche sur les
conséquences, pour l'éducation des adultes, de la tendance à la
privatisation. On soutient en outre que l'éducation des adultes peut faire
revivre le débat public, et reconstruire le capital civil nécessaire pour
résister aux effets colonisateurs de la mondialisation du commerce.
The International Adult Literacy Survey: How Well Does It Represent the Literacy Abilities of Adults?
Authors: Sticht Thomas
Published: July 2024

In the mid-1990s nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD) conducted the first International
Adult Literacy Survey (IALS). The IALS used two different methods for
assessing adult literacy. One method used performance scales to
measure prose, document, and quantitative literacy. The second method
measured perceived abilities by having adults rate the extent to which
their literacy and numeracy skills met their work and daily life
requirements for these skills. This paper reviews evidence that
challenges the validity of the IALS standardized performance scales,
including the construct validity of the measurement scales (the question
of just what it is that the IALS scales measure), the standards validity
(the question of how good is good enough to be considered competent at
whatever the scales measure), and the use validity (the extent to which
the findings are useful for various purposes and do not produce social
harm). The author concludes that in future assessments more attention
should be given to the use of self-perceptions of skills so those who
believe they are in need of additional literacy development can be
identified and provided with information about educational
opportunities.

Résumé

Au milieu des années '90, les pays membres de l'Organisation de
coopération et de développement économique ont mené, selon deux
méthodes distinctes, une première enquête internationale sur le niveau
d'alphabétisation des adultes. L'une des méthodes choisies a utilisé des
échelles de performance pour évaluer de manière quantitative la prose,
l'argumentation et l'alphabétisation. Le seconde méthode a mesuré les
habiletés perçues en demandant aux adultes eux-mêmes d'évaluer à
quel point, chaque jour, ils étaient confrontés à leur analphabétisme
ainsi qu'à leurs difficultés avec les nombres. Cet article remet en
question la validité de ces échelles de performance standardisées pour
les adultes, de même que la façon dont ces échelles ont été bâties, c'est-à-
dire; leur objet de mesure et la justesse des critères utilisés. En
d'autres mots, à quelle compétence correspond un niveau donné sur
cette échelle et quelle utilisation sera faite de ces mesures
ultérieurement et enfin, si ces découvertes seront-elles utiles à d'autres
usages et n'entraîneront-elles pas de conséquences négatives ? On y
conclut que lors de prochaines évaluations, il faudra faire plus attention
à l'utilisation des habiletés perçues par les adultes eux-mêmes de sorte
que ceux qui pensent avoir besoin de plus de formation puissent être
identifiés et qu'on puisse leur procurer de l'information sur les
possibilités de s'instruire qui leur sont offertes.

Introduction: spiritual Wellness promotion is primordial at a fundamental level.  For Indigenous Peoples across the world spiritual wellness is their way of life. In India we have many traditional and tribal communities that practice a holistic, nature-centric spiritual wellness. Towards learning more about Indigenous communities and their spiritual wellness conducted this exploratory study among the Irulas of the Nilgiris District in Tamil Nadu India. Being one of earlier settlers of the Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve, the Irulas have played an important role in the maintenance of the forests and environment of the Nilgiris.Methods: the study design is an ethnography qualitative study using In-depth interviews conducted using Dr. Kovach’s Conversation methodology for researching and documenting Indigenous Ontology. The Indigenous peoples are one of the Primitive Tribes of the Nilgiris District in Southern India known as the Irulas. The settlements that were accessed for the interview include villages in the eastern and western slopes of the Nilgiris. Results: using basic qualitative analysis of coding and theme generation, data allowed to derive 4 themes about spiritual wellness namely: What is Spirituality, Importance of participation, Sustaining Practices and Conviction. There is a shift and adaptation to contemporary spiritual practices driven by lack of access to their forests and grasslands and also because of education and exposure of the younger generation.Conclusion: development over time has resulted in changes in their natural environment as well as social environment leading to generational perception and practices of spirituality among women of the Irula tribes of the Nilgiris

A hernia is when part or even all of an internal organ protrudes through an abnormal opening in the wall of the cavity that houses that organ. An inguinal hernia, which is a protrusion of part of the intestine through the abdominal wall into the inguinal region, occurs frequently in both children and adults. Two common problems that can occur as a result of an inguinal hernia are obstruction, which refers to blockage of the intestine, and strangulation, which occurs when the blood supply to the herniated tissue is interrupted. An inguinal hernia occurs when a portion of the intestine moves through an area of low resistance in the lower abdomen, and this anatomical space is called the groin. A hernia can cause a portion of the intestine to bulge into the groin area, forming a noticeable bulge. As time progresses, hernias may experience an increase in size. An incarcerated hernia occurs when the hernia sac undergoes prolonged inflammation that prevents the herniated structures from returning to their original position. As a result, venous blood flow to the internal organs and lymphatic system is interrupted, leading to a gradual and lasting impact on the hernia. This causes compression, reduces circulation, which can lead to oxygen deprivation in the tissues (ischemia) and cell death (necrosis), and can even perforate the bowel and trigger severe inflammation of the abdominal lining (peritonitis). We report a 4-month-old male infant patient with incarcerated inguinal hernia since birth, who underwent laparoscopic surgical resolution

Objectives: the relevance of studying this topic is that memory and identity politics, or historical politics, affect the awareness of the national, cultural, civic identity of the population, which is an important factor in the consolidation of society. The purpose of this study is the analysis of political activity which is aimed at the development of national identity.
Methods: when writing the paper, the following methods were used: structural and functional, dialectical, and logical.
Results: as a result of the study, it was found that at present the Kyrgyz political elite needs to create a political programme for long-term memory, since there is no specific national policy regarding this. Such a programme should be created in the form of a single political and legal document at the state level. It will be able to ensure systematic, progressive growth based on an understanding of common goals, assuming spiritual unity, which will contribute to the development of a sense of national identity.
Conclusions: due attention should be paid to the development of the museum sphere. It is also important to investigate interethnic relations and the development of terminology of ethno-national identity. The practical significance of this study lies in the fact that all theoretical provisions, conclusions, and recommendations can be used to create a programme that will be aimed at developing collective memory and a sense of national identity

Authors: Dong Yao , Anqi Lin , Gang Yuan
Published: July 2024

This study aims to analyze the current state of Marxist youthization (青年化) in colleges and universities in Guizhou Province. The primary objectives are to identify the factors influencing the dissemination of Marxist views among university students and to determine the most significant predictors of this process. The target population comprised university students in Guizhou Province during the 2023 academic year. A stratified random sampling technique was employed to ensure comprehensive representation, resulting in a sample size of 700 students. A cross-sectional correlational research design was utilized, with a structured questionnaire distributed to collect data. Multiple linear regression analysis examined the impact of Marxist youth views' perception, identification, and practice on their dissemination. The findings reveal that all three factors—perception, identification, and practice—significantly influence the dissemination of Marxist views, with perception having the most substantial effect (B = 0.206, p < 0.001), followed closely by identification (B = 0.202, p < 0.001) and practice (B = 0.140, p < 0.001). The model explains 39.6% of the variance in dissemination, indicating robust explanatory power. These results highlight the importance of enhancing students' understanding, identification, and practical engagement with Marxist principles. The study suggests that educational strategies focusing on these areas can effectively promote Marxist ideologies among youth. The implications for educators and policymakers include adopting interactive and experiential learning methods to foster a deeper connection with Marxist views.
