Authors: Nazari Mojgan , Rostami-Moez Masoumeh , Ebrahimi Fatemeh
Published: May 2020

Background and aims: Fennel is often advocated for primary dysmenorrhea. Whether this herb has a real effect on pain relief is still a matter of debate in medicine. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of fennel on primary dysmenorrhea. Methods: This systematic review was conducted on clinical trials (non-randomized, randomized, historical study with concurrent control) published in PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), ProQuest, and Persian databases (Magiran, IranMedex, SID, Irandoc) regarding the effect of fennel on pain intensity in primary dysmenorrhea from 1990 to 2019. Nine studies met all inclusion criteria. Any clinical trials on young women with primary dysmenorrhea were included in the study. Studies that used fennel plus other products investigated fennel effect on premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and bleeding; studies without a control group and nonclinical trials were excluded. In all studies, participants were young female university or high school students. All of them had moderate to severe primary dysmenorrhea. Results: In all of the studies except for one, fennel had been more effective than placebo in pain relief (P<0.01). Non-steroidal drugs had the same result as fennel for pain relief. However, in one study, the difference between non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and fennel in pain relief was observed. Only one study reported increasing vaginal bleeding after fennel consumption in some cases. Conclusion: Collectively, these studies favored fennel over NSAID, other herbal drugs, and placebo. But more investigation is needed to draw a firm conclusion.
The potential for large-scale, subsurface geological CO2 storage in Denmark
Authors: Frykman Peter , Nielsen Lars Henrik , Vangkilde-Pedersen Thomas , Anthonsen Karen Lyng
Published: May 2020

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is increasingly considered to be a tool that can significantly reduce the emission of CO2. It is viewed as a technology that can contribute to a substantial, global reduction of emitted CO2 within the timeframe that seems available for mitigating the effects of present and continued emission. In order to develop the CCS method the European Union (EU) has supported research programmes for more than a decade, which focus on capture techniques, transport and geological storage. The results of the numerous research projects on geological storage are summarised in a comprehensive best practice manual outlining guidelines for storage in saline aquifers (Chadwick et al. 2008). A detailed directive for geological storage is under implementation (European Commission 2009), and the EU has furthermore established a programme for supporting the development of more than ten large-scale demonstration plants throughout Europe. Geological investigations show that suitable storage sites are present in most European countries. In Denmark initial investigations conducted by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland and private companies indicate that there is significant storage potential at several locations in the subsurface.
Water budget of Skærsø, a lake in south-east Jylland, Denmark: exchange between groundwater and lake water
Authors: Nilsson Bertel , Engesgaard Peter , Kidmose Jacob , Karan Sachin , Looms Majken Caroline , Schou Frandsen Mette Cristine
Published: May 2020

The European Union’s Water Frame - work Directive aims to achieve a ‘good’ ecological status for groundwater bodies, for groundwater-dependent terrestrial ecosystems, and for aquatic surface water bodies by the year 2015. In Denmark, this goal will most likely not be fulfilled within such a short time frame due to the current poor ecological condition of Danish lakes (Søndergaard et al. 2008). However, public concern about the protection of aquatic environments has increased, and so has interest in improving lake water quality by reducing nutrient loading. Effective and sustainable lake restoration and conservation depend on the ability to (1) point out sensitive catchment areas for the lake, (2) estimate its total water and nutrient budgets and (3) relate observed differences in seepage rates to the abundance and distribution of macrophytes in the lake and to the topography and land-use of the surrounding terrain. In seepage lakes, i.e. lakes without inlets or outlets, the influence of the surrounding terrain, regional hydrogeology and lake geometry on the overall lake water budget has been studied in some detail (Krabbenhoft et al. 1990; Anderson & Cheng 1993; Cheng & Anderson, 1994; Kratz et al. 1997; Winter 1999; Townley & Trefry 2000). However, little efforthas been made to understand and quantify how riparian zones (wetlands) surrounding lakes may control the water flow and nutrient transport to the lakes. Although groundwater inflow to seepage lakes is suspected to be smaller than inflow from drainage ditches, it may still account for a significant nutrient influx.

Authors: Dalenz Lorieto Natalia A.
Published: May 2020

This research considers the current situation for the settlement of investment disputes in MERCOSUR member states. To achieve greater results, the current international legislation has established principles and a broad range of procedures that must be implemented on the trade bloc member states regarding the recognition and execution of foreign arbitral awards. This study applies a descriptive qualitative method. The findings of this study show that there are still some obstacles for the development of investment arbitration, despite its recognition in the current legislations. In this sense this work recommends harmonizing the legal procedures for the institution of arbitration and implementing a Supranational Arbitration Court inside MERCOSUR to increase and make effective the institution of international commerce in the region.

The mixing ratio of gac – syrup – passion fruit juice was randomly arranged into six groups with differing parameters such as; Pasteurization temperature set at varyinglevels (70oC, 80oC and 90oC), pasteurization times (5, 10 and 15 minutes), and storage times (temperature 4oC, normal temperature). Each treatment group were analysed and had three replicate samples per group. The results showed that the optimal mixing ratio is 40% gac + 25% passion fruit + 35% syrup. The best pasteurization temperature and time for the product is 80oC and 5 minutes. The product should be stored at a cold temperature (4oC) for 10 days to ensure that it has a strong, aromatic and pleasant taste.
“State standards and IEP goals. A lot of TPT products.” What Early Childhood Educators Report Using to Plan Mathematics Instruction
Authors: Peltier Corey , Peltier Tiffany K , Werthen Taylor , Heuer Andy
Published: May 2020

Access to high-quality resources is integral for educators to provide research-aligned mathematics instruction. Identifying the supplemental resources educators use to plan mathematics instruction can inform the ways researchers and organizations disseminate research-based practices. The goal of this study was to identify the frequency in which early childhood educators (i.e., pre-Kindergarten through third grade) reported using various resources to plan for mathematics instruction. Furthermore, we investigated whether differences were observed based on teacher factors (i.e., general or special education, route to certification, years of experience) and locale (i.e., rural, urban, suburban). We retained data from 917 teachers for data analysis. The three most frequently reported resources by educators were colleagues, Teachers Pay Teachers, and Google/Yahoo. The three least frequently reported resources were the typical outlets researchers use to reach teachers: What Works Clearinghouse, Teaching Exceptional Children, and Teaching Children Mathematics. General and special education teachers differed on their self-reported usage of five resources: colleagues, Google/Yahoo, teaching blogs, Teaching Exceptional Children, and the What Works Clearinghouse. Rural educators self-reported that they were less likely than suburban educators to use colleagues or specialists at the district to plan instruction. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Authors: Weibing Wu
Published: May 2020

Agricultural automation and intelligence have a wide range of connotations, involving navigation, image, model, strategy and other engineering disciplines. With the development of modern agriculture are applied in many engineering areas. The operating environment of agricultural vehicles is very complex, especially as they often face obstacles, affecting the intelligent operation of agricultural vehicles. The traditional obstacle detection mostly uses the limited detection algorithm, in the case of which it is difficult to achieve the moving target detection of panoramic vision. In this paper, mean shift algorithm is selected to detect the moving obstacles of intelligent agricultural vehicles, and adaptive colour fusion is introduced to optimize the algorithm to solve the problems of mean shift. In order to verify the effect of the improvement and application of the algorithm, the video image obtained by the intelligent agricultural vehicle is selected for the simulation experiment, and the best combination (- 0.8.0.2) is obtained for the unequal spacing sampling method. In the process of colour selection, the coefficient needs to be adjusted continuously to improve the tracking accuracy of the algorithm. Further it can be seen that when using a variety of different quantitative methods for comparative analysis, the quantitative method of HIS-360 level is determined.

The motivation behind this research work is to improve car safety and efficiency.The concept of self driving cars is heard from years, it has not come into usage in many countries because of the lack of complete intelligence in the vehicle. Some of the modern vehicles provide partially automated specifications such as keeping the car within its lane, speed controls or emergency braking..According to statistics most of the accidents occur due to lack of instant response to traffic signs and obstacles ahead. In case of self driving car this problem can be addressed by detecting the traffic signals using high end camera. Real time traffic sign detection model accomplishes its objective by identifying the traffic signals and obstacles. A high end camera is used to capture the image, raspberry pi 3 is used as hardware and open computer vision library is used to process the image and identify the patterns in the image to properly detect the signals. Ultra sonic distance sensor is used to identify the obstacles.

This study utilized remote sensing data products and software’s for LULC mapping and LULC change. Landsat data has been utilized in ENVI for the classification of LULC and LULC change detection during the period 1991-2020. The LULC classification was achieved through Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC) which is a widely preferred classificatory method. Image change detection was achieved through ENVI thematic change workflow. On top of that ArcGIS version 10.2 was used for preparing all map layouts. Results reveal that the study area has undergone significant changes in its LULC pattern. Substantial increases were recorded in agricultural area (862.4 sq. km to 1186 sq. km), built up area (473.4 sq. km to 699.5 sq. km) and waterbodies (81 sq. km to 146.7 sq. km). A declining trend was evident in degraded vegetation (772.2 sq. km to 274.3 sq. km) and barren land (798.8 sq. km to 641 sq. km). In the short study period, the study area already seems to be changing in its LULC pattern due to anthropogenic activities. The steady increases to the agricultural land and built up area (BUA) is a potential threat to the LULC balance and it may have manifold impacts to LULC dynamics in the future if proper land utilization policy is not adopted.

Finding out the vulnerability of each district in the state of Andhra Pradesh for determining which districts are at risk and which districts are in safe for livelihood. Based on nine important factors such as crop yield, employee, literacy, livestock, population, rainfall, roads, and social along with sub factors associated with them we can obtain efficient results. Based on these we can determine the vulnerability scores for each district and find out best and worst districts. Further we can develop the vulnerable district by using suitable measures. Also we must find out the most impacting attributes on the final score so that those attributes can also be considered for reducing the risk of livelihood associated with a district.

Pile-raft foundation is a modern approach in place of conservative method for multi-storey buildings or in some special circumstances. In pile-raft analysis the load settlement behaviour of pile foundation, raft foundation and combination of pile-raft foundation is determined. The use of combination of pile-raft is basically a new technique for economy of foundation resting on the sand. Model Study is carried out to determine the suitability of the pile raft foundation for sand. In this modal study we have studied load deflection behavior of pile-raft foundation by making a prototype of a footing and applying a static load in each case and settlement of footing is noted in 2 dial gauges fixed at alternate edges of footing. As an observation the settlement behaviour of pile-raft foundation is being found less as compared to other two types of foundations tested. The pile-raft foundation is very important and helpful for everyone because if we have soil of low bearing capacity then stabilization of soil is need to be done using different material but the use of pile-raft in sand can eliminate this kind of expenses occurs during construction.

Сдерживающим фактором в развитии животноводства является применение зерновых смесей при кормлении животных. Это приводит к снижению привеса и конверсии комбикорма. При производстве комбикормов в России на долю зерновых культур приходится 66,2%, в Германии – 30%, во Франции – 43,7%, в США – 53%, в других странах ЕЭС – 38%.Выявляется важная проблема в комбикормовой промышленности, связанная с сокращением доли зерновых культур в сырьевых ресурсах. Россия по сравнению с развитыми странами отстает в производстве комбикормов как по объему, так и по ассортименту и качеству готового продукта. Сократить долю зерновых культур в комбикорме можно, только повысив его кормовую ценность. Один из способов повышения ценности зерновой смеси – микронизация: повышается переваримость крахмала, изменяется белковый комплекс зерна, инактивируются ингибиторы пищеварительного тракта, образуются ароматические вещества, которые улучшают вкусовые свойства зерна. Происходит пастеризация зерновой смеси, благодаря этому снижается уровень грибной микрофлоры на 99,5%.Благодаря тепловой обработке нативный крахмал становится  модифицированным. Происходит увеличение соединения сахаров и декстринов в два-три раза. Возрастает до 35% степень клейстеризации. Это делает крахмал более доступным для организма животных, так как его гидролитическое расщепление повышается в два-пять раз. Но из-за отсутствия отечественного оборудования на комбикормовых заводах микронизация зерна применяется редко.
El reto de educar en tiempos de la digitalización de la vida: hacia una pedagogía de las relaciones entre cuerpo, texto y tecnología
Authors: Riveros Solórzano Hernán Javier
Published: May 2020

Este artículo se ocupa de presentar una propuesta educativa para el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico en relación con los procesos de avance de la biotecnología y la digitalización de la vida. Para cumplir con este propósito se toma como punto de partida la relación entre cuerpo, texto y tecnología como un elemento de tipo estético y ético que permite comprender las diversas transformaciones de la existencia con el avance de diferentes herramientas en el ámbito de las tecnociencias y sus implicaciones en las transformaciones de la corporalidad y la subjetividad en su conexión con las condiciones sociales y culturales contemporáneas. Así mismo, a partir de un marco teórico y un diseño metodológico sintonizados con los debates actuales en el campo de los estudios sociales, educativos y tecnológicos, el documento presenta las formas en las que sería factible consolidar acciones en el aula que permitan construir procesos pedagógicos, en clave de convergencia entre diversas disciplinas, para generar acciones educativas que respondan a las necesidades crítico – creativas de un contexto en el que la episteme de la vida como información exige de nuevas prácticas para pensar las formas de vivir y educar en una época de cambios y transformaciones como la contemporánea. Finalmente se presenta la biopragmática como posibilidad de trabajo educativo en el que se apuesta a una función crítica de la imaginación como elemento para proponer los procesos de apropiación de la existencia como obra de arte y del cuerpo como textualidad, los cuales son requeridos para asumir pedagógicamente un momento histórico transformado por condiciones como la aceleración del tiempo, la virtualidad del espacio y la racionalidad molecular propias del desarrollo de las tecnologías capaces de leer y modificar el código de la vida.
Support for a Multidimensional Model of Study Abroad Immersion Preference
Authors: Goldstein Susan B.
Published: May 2020

Students seeking to study abroad are increasingly able to select their preferred level of immersion in such areas as program dur ation, similarity of classmates, language of instruction, and housing environment . As researchers endeavor to understand the relative contribution of these decisions to intercultural learning outcomes, information is needed regarding the student characteristics associated with these program choices. Questionnaire data from 252 undergraduates yieldeddemographic, social, personality, and intercultural predictors of preference for level of immersion across seven study abroad dimensions and supported a mult idimensional model of immersion. Implications are discussed for outcome research methodology, study abroad advising, pre departure training, and program design.
Synchronization of Reactive Power in Solar Based DG and Voltage Regulated Elements Using Stochastic Optimization Technique
Authors: P. Dr. Karrupusamy
Published: May 2020

As the distribution generation (DG) based on the solar has attained more prominence and are broadly utilized by multitudes of client and the manufacturers of power on distribution system that is radial. The solar based distributed generation for the radial distribution system affects the changeover functions of the tap changers that are less laden as well as the capacitors connected in shunt and further causes loss of power. The paper attempts in developing an innovative process of synchronization using the stochastic optimization technique the particle swarm optimization to bring together the reactive power of the distribute generation of the solar and the elements that are regulated using the voltage. The synchronization is performed by predicting the load. The procedure for the performing the synchronization is framed on the operational cost and the cost of power loss as multi-objective function. The methodology followed in the paper is examined in the MATLAB over 10 kV, sixteen buses. The observed results were compared with the traditional methodologies to determine the efficacy eluding any failures in the conditions of the GRID.
