Programmable logic controller-based automatic control for municipal wastewater treatment plant optimization
Authors: Ning Shunli , Hong Siyuan 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
The treatment of industrial wastewater can effectively protect the water environment and maintain sustainable development. This paper introduces an incremental proportion and integration (IPI) control algorithm-based programmable logic controller (PLC) used to adjust the aeration tank's dissolved oxygen content automatically in the wastewater treatment process. The control algorithm was improved by a back-propagation neural network (BP-NN). An instance analysis was carried out on a wastewater treatment plant in Zhejiang Province, China. This showed that the BP-NN improved control algorithm made the aeration tank's dissolved oxygen content more stable at the set value than it was with manual adjustment and the conventional algorithm. The total nitrogen content in wastewater treated in the aeration tank under the control of the improved IPI algorithm was minimized and fluctuated least. The aeration tank blower's power consumption was also at its lowest under the control of the improved IPI algorithm.
Predicting H2S emission from gravity sewer using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system
Authors: Salehi R. , Chaiprapat S. 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
A predictive model to estimate hydrogen sulfide (H2S) emission from sewers would offer engineers and asset managers the ability to evaluate the possible odor/corrosion problems during the design and operation of sewers to avoid in-sewer complications. This study aimed to model and forecast H2S emission from a gravity sewer, as a function of temperature and hydraulic conditions, without requiring prior knowledge of H2S emission mechanism. Two different adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) models using grid partitioning (GP) and subtractive clustering (SC) approaches were developed, validated, and tested. The ANFIS-GP model was constructed with two Gaussian membership functions for each input. For the development of the ANFIS-SC model, the MATLAB default values for clustering parameters were selected. Results clearly indicated that both the best ANFIS-GP and ANFIS-SC models produced smaller error compared with the multiple regression models and demonstrated a superior predictive performance on forecasting H2S emission with an excellent R2 value of &gt;0.99. However, the ANFIS-GP model possessed fewer rules and parameters than the ANFIS-SC model. These findings validate the ANFIS-GP model as a potent tool for predicting H2S emission from gravity sewers.
Advances in treatment of coking wastewater – a state of art review
Authors: Tamang Markus , Paul Kakoli Karar 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Coking wastewater poses a serious threat to the environment due to the presence of a wide spectrum of refractory substances such as phenolic compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic nitrogenous compounds. These toxic substances are difficult to treat using conventional treatment methods alone. In recent years much attention has been given to the effective treatment of coking wastewater. Thus, this review seeks to provide a brief overview of recent developments that have taken place in the treatment of coking wastewater. In addition, this article addresses the complexity and the problems associated with treatment followed by a discussion on biological methods with special focus on bioaugmentation. As coking wastewater is refractory in nature, some of the studies have been related to improving the biodegradability of wastewater. The final section focuses on the integrated treatment methods that have emerged as the best solution for tackling the highly unmanageable coking wastewater. Attention has also been given to emerging microwave technology which has tremendous potential for treatment of coking wastewater.

Взаимосвязь значимых жизненных событий и переживаний в юношестве
Authors: Шилова Наталья П. 
Published: December 2021

Введение. Целью представленного в данной статье исследования стало изучение взаимосвязи значимых для юношей и девушек жизненных событий с их переживаниями. Новизна исследования заключается в выявлении переживаний, характерных для юношей и девушек поколения Z в зависимости от того, какие события в их представлениях о собственной жизни являются наиболее значимыми. Впервые было показано, что существует взаимосвязь между тематикой значимых жизненных событий, выделяемых юношами и девушками, и особенностями их личностных переживаний. Методы. Для проведения исследования применялись проективные методики: «Прошлое, настоящее, будущее» (А. Л. Венгер, Ю. М. Десятникова) и авторская проективная методика «Взросление». Выборку исследования составили 1394 юношей и девушек в возрасте от 14 до 23 лет. Результаты. Исследование показало, что 85 % респондентов интересуют жизненные ситуации, в которых демонстрируются классические представления о взрослении, при этом особое внимание юноши и девушки уделяют творчеству, достижению успехов, относительности взрослости и краткосрочности жизни. Тема относительности взрослости напрямую связана с осознанием юношеских переживаний о поиске смысла жизни, ее успешности и неуспешности. Было показано, что представители поколения Z выделяют значимые для своей жизни события в среднем во временном промежутке 15 лет, при этом большую их часть они связывают с профессиональной деятельностью и учебой, что отражает ожидания современного общества, в котором профессиональные достижения являются незаменимым инструментом для социальной адаптации. Обсуждение результатов. Многоэтапный анализ выявил четкую взаимосвязь между юношескими переживаниями успешности и/или неуспешности и жизненными событиями, связанными с учебой и профессиональной деятельностью респондентов. Заключение. В целом данные проведенного исследования демонстрируют необходимость развития в образовательных программах для представителей юношества ситуаций, позволяющих переживать успех/неуспех.
Regulation of Tumor Immune Microenvironment by Sphingolipids and
Lysophosphatidic Acid
Authors: Vishwakarma Supriya , Arya Neha , Kumar Ashok 
Published: December 2021

:
The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of cancer cells that interact with stromal
components such as the extracellular matrix, blood, and lymphatic networks, fibroblasts, adipocytes,
and the cells of the immune system. Further, the tumor immune microenvironment, majorly
represented by the tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIIC), plays an important role in cancer therapeutics
and patient prognosis. In fact, a high density of TIICs within the tumor microenvironment
is known to be associated with better outcomes in several types of cancers. Towards this, two bioactive
lipid molecules, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), regulate the
homing of immune cells to the TME. In the present review, we will uncover the role of LPA and
S1P signaling in the tumor immune environment, highlighting the latest progress in this field.
Type 2 Diabetes in Women: Differences and Difficulties
Authors: Kesavadev Jothydev , Abraham Georgi , Chandni R. , Chawla Purvi , Nambiar Anita , Deshpande Neeta , Joshi Shilpa , Jothydev Sunitha , Krishnan Gopika , Das Ashok Kumar 
Published: December 2021

Background:
Lifestyle modification, along with medication, has improved the quality
of life of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the treatment of diabetes in women still lacks a
gender-centric approach.

Methods:
Expert opinions to improve diabetes management in women were collated from the open
discussion forum organized by the sixth Jothydev’s Professional Education Forum Diabetes Convention,
which included global diabetes care experts and the general public. The review is also
based on the studies published in electronic databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar that discussed
the problems and challenges faced by the Indian diabetes care sector in treating women
with diabetes.

Results:
The complex interplay of biological, socioeconomic, psychosocial, and physiological factors
in women with type 2 diabetes has not been well addressed to date. Biological factors such as
neurohumoral pathways, sex hormones, genetic predisposition as well as gender-based environmental
and behavioural differences must be considered for modern personalized diabetes treatment.
Most importantly, pregnant women with diabetes deserve special attention. This vulnerable phase
has a marked impact on the future health of both the mother and the offspring.

Conclusion:
The review provides an overview of the challenges and issues that exist in the clinical
management of diabetes and its complications among women in India. Women-centric clinical approaches
should be encouraged for the effective management of diabetes in Indian women.
Ameliorative Effect of Acetyl L-carnitine in Alzheimer's Disease via Downregulating
of Homocysteine Levels in Hyperhomocysteinemia Induced Cognitive
Deficit in Mouse Model
Authors: Verma Nisha , Gupta Jeetendra Kumar , Varshney Krishna Kumar , Srivastava Rajnish 
Published: December 2021

Aim:
The study was aimed at exploring the role of Acetyl L-Carnitine supplementation
attenuating dementia and degradation of cognitive abilities in Hyperhomocysteinemia induced AD
manifestations in the mouse model.

Background:
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurological disorder that is marked by dementia, and
degradation of cognitive abilities. There is great popularity gained by natural supplements as the
treatment for AD, due to the higher toxicities of synthetic drugs. Hyperhomocysteinemia causes
excitotoxicity to the cortical neurons, which brought us to the point that amino acids possibly have
a role in causing cholinergic deformities, which are an important etiological parameter in AD.
Acetyl L-Carnitine a methyl donor with the presence of three chemically reactive methyl groups
linked to a nitrogen atom was found to possess neuroprotective activity against experimental models
of AD.

Objective:
The objective of the present investigation was to investigate and evaluate the pharmacological
effect of Acetyl L-Carnitine against hyperhomocysteinemia induced Alzheimer’s disease
(AD) in the mouse model.

Material and Method:
The animals were divided into normal control (vehicle-treated), HHcy
(dl-Homocysteine thiolactone treated) negative control, test group i.e., low dose (50mg/kg, p.o) of
acetyl L-carnitine (L-ALC), high dose (100mg/kg,p.o) of acetyl L-carnitine (H-ALC), L-ALC+
SOV (Sodium orthovanadate) and H-ALC+SOV. HHcy was induced by administration of dl-Homocysteine
thiolactone (dl-HCT; 1 g/kg, p.o.) on day-1 to day-15 of experimental schedule to all
animals except normal control. The changes in the behaviour pattern of the animals due to neuroinflammation,
and cholinergic dysfunction were examined in rotarod, novel objective recognition,
passive avoidance, elevated plus maze, and morris water maze analysis. Biochemical investigation
includes the estimation of total homocysteine (tHcy), Creatinine Kinase (CK), Acetylcholinesterase
(AChE), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), reduced glutathione (GSH) and IL-6
and TNF-α.

Result:
Supplementation of ALC in mouse considerably lowered the HHcy-induced AD manifestations
in the experimental animals. It was found that ALC and SOV successfully diminished the
behaviour abnormalities and lessened the Hcy-induced alteration in systemic Hcy levels, CK activity,
and cholinergic dysfunction with improved bioenergetics in the Prefrontal cortex of the mice.

Conclusion:
ALC was found to improve the HHcy-induced cognitive disabilities which was found
to be associated with the decreased systemic levels of Hcy, CK, and cholinergic abnormalities. It also
combats the oxidative stress-induced neuroinflammation with diminished pro-inflammatory
markers in the pre frontal cortex. The outcomes collectively indicate ALC's potential to be used as
a supplementation in the pharmacotherapy of AD.
Physician Rating Websites in the United States: A systematic review (Preprint)
Authors: Bhilwar Meenakshi , Boren Suzanne A , Bhatia Kunal 
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Physician rating websites are gaining popularity, however, data on their usability and influence on healthcare quality is limited.

OBJECTIVE

to provide an overview of physician rating websites in the US and find answers for the following questions:
1.	What are the most commonly studied/rated physician rating websites in the US?
2.	Which specialty of physicians/providers are most commonly studied/rated?
3.	How many physicians were rated on the studied PRWs?
4.	What is the average number of ratings on these websites and are they positive or negative?
5.	How does the profile of providers influence their rating?
6.	How are PRWs associated with healthcare quality?
7.	How PRWs are associated with patient-physician relationship?

METHODS

A systematic literature search was conducted through Medline for peer-reviewed articles in the English language on studies conducted in the US.

RESULTS

33 articles published in peer-reviewed journals were included in the final review. Most of the studies were conducted on surgeons. A significant number of studies observed no correlation of online ratings with gender, geographic location, and years of experience. Additionally, no significant correlation was found between PRWs and healthcare quality.

CONCLUSIONS

It has been observed that with the current structure of these websites, the reliability of information available on them is rather questionable, and hence more research is required to assess the credibility of these websites along with their cost-effectiveness, effect on the patient-physician relationship, and quality of healthcare delivery.
Criação artística e metáforas bíblicas: uma relação de experiência | Artistic creation and biblical metaphors: a relationship of experience
Authors: Azeredo Jéferson Luís , Silveira Edivan Waterkemper 
Published: December 2021

Neste artigo, evidenciamos que, para que possamos pensar as metáforas como um campo de experiências para a criação artística e, com isso, possamos usá-las como possibilidade aberta de repensar o mundo em que vivemos, é necessário destacá-las como lugar de experiência; para que isso aconteça, nosso objetivo aqui é indicá-las como uma disposição da compreensão. Procuramos, com isso, convocar o potencial da disposição para que nunca deixemos de empreender uma intensa e inesperada experiência nova, pois, quando as palavras se abrem para novas possibilidades, ao acessá-las pela via da compreensão e experiência, podemos ressignificar o mundo em que vivemos e, sobretudo, a nós mesmos. Alijamos essa compreensão a partir de alguns autores, especialmente Paul Ricoeur, Aristóteles e Friedrich Nietzsche, pois a partir deles,somos capazes de realizar o diálogo com as metáforas bíblicas, como um tipo mais específico de experiência, aproximando a experiência religiosa e o pensamento, no que se refere à criação artística.Palavras-chave: Metáforas bíblicas. Experiência estética. Diálogo. Lugar. AbstractIn this article, we show that, so that we can think of metaphors as a field of experiences for artistic creation and, therefore, also as an open possibility of rethinking the world we live in, it is necessary to highlight them as a place of experience, and for this happen, our aim here is to indicate them as a disposition of understanding. With this, we seek to summon the potential of disposition so that we never stop undertaking an intense and unexpected new experience, because, when words open up to more possibilities, by accessing them through understanding and experience, we can reframe the world in which we live and, above all, ourselves. We jettisoned this understanding from some authors, especially Paul Ricoeur, Aristotle and Friedrich Nietzsche, because from them, we are able to carry out a dialogue with biblical metaphors, as a more specific type of experience, bringing together religious experience and thought in the which refers to artistic creation.Keywords: Biblical metaphors.

Além do Devir-animal: a co-criação egoísta da individualidade em um enterro budista de cachorros robôs | Beyond becoming-animal: the egoist co-creationof individuality in a robot-dogs Buddhist funeral
Authors: Mesquita Guilherme Castro Nunes , Lima Newton De Oliveira 
Published: December 2021

O pensamento egoísta de Max Stirner povoou a reflexão críticadesde oséculo XIX até à contemporaneidade, servindo como uma das bases para o movimento do anarco-individualismo. Entretanto, sua estrutura serve como início para uma aceleração da desconstrução da noção de individualidade– não mais lida, aqui, como uma essência presente em cada ser, mas como uma categoria viva que transpassa os corpos de quaisquer tipos de entidades que povoam o real e imaginário. Esteartigo é uma tentativa de expor tais significados e compreender essa relação como uma possibilidade de cocriação da individualidade, a partir do estudo da noção de devir-animal, em Julian Langer, e do evento do funeral budista de cachorros robôs no templo budista Kofuku-Ji, em Chiba,no Japão, em 2018.Palavras-chave: Egoísmo. Individualidade. Budismo. Devir-animal. AbstractMax Stirner’segoist thought populated the critical thinking fromthe XIX centuryup to the present, serving as one of the bases for the individualist anarchism movement. However, its structure serves as a start for an acceleration of deconstruction of the notion of individuality – here no longer read as an essence present in everybeing, but as a living category that permeates the bodies of any kindsof entities that populates the realityand the imaginary. This article is an attempt to expose these meanings and understand this relationship as a possibility forthe co-creation of individuality, from the study of the notion of becoming-animal, in Julian Langer, and the Buddhist funeral for robot dogs at the Kofuku-Ji Buddhist temple in Chiba, Japan, in 2018.Keywords:Egoism.

Do imaginário para a literatura: a confusão feminina na mentalidade do cristianismo europeu | From the Imaginary to Literature: female confusion in the mentality of European Christianity
Authors: Cunha Melo André Luiz Silveira da 
Published: December 2021

Foi graças à perpetuação de certos preceitos de feminilidade que uma mentalidade antifeminina vingou no imaginário do cristianismo primitivo, enraizando-se na cultura europeia e revelando-se nas demonstrações de arte e literatura desde o baixo-medievo. Neste artigo busca-se discorrer sobre uma importante parte dessa maneira de pensar – a associação do feminino a um estado confuso ou à propagação da confusão, seja através da fala ardilosa ou da simples exposição à presença do feminino, que, para o cristianismo primitivo, estava intimamente ligado ao pecado original e à Queda. Dessa maneira, tenciona-se demonstrar como uma mentalidade antifeminina transpassou para a representação literária de feminino e de amor na Europa medieval, apresentando-se em cantigas e trovas variadas.Palavras-chave: Imaginário. Confusão Feminina. Cristianismo. AbstractIt was due to the perpetuation of certain precepts of femininity that an anti-feminine mentality took hold in the imagination of primitive Christianity, taking root in European culture and revealing itself in art and literature demonstrations since the low-medieval period. This paper seeks to discuss an important part of this way of thinking – the association of the feminine with a confused state or the spread of confusion, whether through cunning speech or through simple exposure to the presence of the feminine, which for early Christianity was closely linked to the original sin and the Fall. This paper seeks, then, to demonstrate how an anti-feminine mentality was transferred to the literary representation of the feminine and of love in medieval Europe, presenting itself in different lyrics and songs.Keywords: Imaginary.

W. G. Sebald: reino dos mortos e espetáculo midiático | W. G. Sebald: realm of the dead and mediatic spectacle
Authors: Klein Kelvin Falcão 
Published: December 2021

O objetivo do artigo é investigar as possíveis relações entre a reflexão teórica de Friedrich Kittler (especialmente em seu livro Grammophon Film Typewriter) e a produção literária de W. G. Sebald (especialmente seu último romance, Austerlitz). Minha hipótese é que Sebald mescla dois registros diagnosticados por Kittler: acessa o “reino dos mortos” (codificado com base nos resíduos materiais das fotografias) a partir tanto do paradigma técnico-midiático inaugurado com o gramofone, o filme e a máquina de escrever quanto do paradigma anterior, literário e alucinatório, apreendido por Kittler nas obras de Poe e Balzac, entre outros.Palavras-chave: W. G. Sebald. Friedrich Kittler. Mídia. Fotografia. Romance. AbstractThe aim of the article is to investigate possible contacts between Friedrich Kittler's theoretical reflection (especially in his book Grammophon Film Typewriter) and the literary production of W. G. Sebald (especially his latest novel, Austerlitz). My hypothesis is that Sebald merges two fields diagnosed by Kittler: he accesses the “realm of the dead” (coded from the material residues of photographs) from both the technical-media paradigm inaugurated with the “gramophone, film and typewriter” and from the previous paradigm, literary and hallucinatory, apprehended by Kittler in the works of Poe and Balzac, among others.Keywords: W.
