The results of a comparative study are presented on the influence of the mineral Basacot Plus 6 (N15P8K12 kg/ha a. i.) and domestic biological fertilizers ‒ nitrogen-fixing and phosphate-mobilizing microbial MaKloR in 5 and 10 % concentrations, as well as organo-mineral Ecohum complex on the microbiological properties of the substrate under plantings of virginal and generative plants of early-ripening Ben Lear and late-ripening Stevens varieties of large-fruited cranberries in the experimental culture in the recultivated areas of top-type peat excavation in identical experiments in the Smolevichi district of the Minsk region, geographically distant 250 km from each other and in the more northern Dokshitsy district of the Vitebsk region.It has been established that fertilizers have a predominantly inhibitory effect on the totality of the main characteristics of the microbiota under plantings of an early-ripening variety and, on the contrary, a stimulating effect under those of a lateripening variety. Under plantings of an early ripening variety in the Smolevichi district, regardless of the age of plants, the most significant deterioration in the state of microbial cenoses was found when applying mineral fertilizer and treating with the Ecohum complex, and in the Dokshitsy district ‒ when using MaKloR, especially in a 5 % concentration.Under plantings of a late-ripening cranberry variety in the both areas under study, the tested fertilizers, on the contrary, contributed to the predominant activation of microbiological processes in the rhizogenesis zone. At the same time, in the Smolevichi district, regardless of the age of plants, the greatest stimulating effect on them was the application of mineral fertilizer, as well as the use of Ecohum complex on virginal plants and 5 % MaKloR on generative ones. As we moved north, there was a noticeable increase in the positive effect of the tested fertilizers on the formation and functioning of the microbiota of the root zone of the late-ripening cranberry variety, the greatest efficiency of using exclusively biological fertilizers, especially bacterial MaCloR in a 10 % concentration on virgin plants and 5 % on generative ones.

Published: November 2024

The definition and methodological principles for creating an adaptive mechanical-information system for cow milking are provided, developed within the framework of the complex determined interaction of elements in the triune system of human-machine-animal. An iterative life cycle model of the adaptive control algorithm for the milking process is presented, implemented through the decomposition and aggregation of components and elements of the engineering object subsystem. Based on fluid mechanics theory, general principles of mathematical modeling of the milk extraction process are formulated, using standard mathematical functions to describe the dynamics of cow milk flow rate. Equations for the flow and volume of milk extracted per pulsation cycle are provided. The priority influence of the duration and ratio of cycles on milk flow rate intensity, compared to the magnitude of vacuum pressure, is substantiated. Based on the developed model, an analysis of specific production situations related to the peculiarities of physiological processes and ethological reactions of animals is conducted. Examples of the production research methodology using the capabilities of adaptive control systems for the milking process are described. The obtained results confirm the possibility of increasing the milk flow rate and cow productivity through the use of an original methodology for selecting parameters for differentiated stimulation and dynamic pulsation depending on the milk flow rate and productivity of cows in the herd. The developed methodological principles are aimed to create an original control algorithm for the milking process, adaptive to the individual physiological characteristics and ethological reactions of animals, ensuring increased cow productivity.
Evolution of the mental model of “homeland” in belarusian television programs 1956 – mid. 1990s: pragmatic componen
Authors: Marozawa A. I. 
Published: November 2024

The cognitive construct “homeland”, which is important for self-identification and socialization of a linguistic personality, has been studied. A discourse analysis of microphone folders and video recordings of Belarusian television programs from 1956 to 1995 was conducted. To reconstruct the extralinguistic context, unstructured and in-depth interviews were conducted with the creators of the programs. The process of semantic and syntactic construction of the cognitive metaphor “The Soviet Union (goal) is the Homeland (source)” is shown. A change has been established in the terms “family” and “land” of the source area when they are projected onto the target area.It is concluded that the concept of “homeland” explicates a pragmatic component associated with introspection of the immanent interaction of a linguistic personality with the natural environment and critical understanding of experience. The evolution of syntactic macrostructures of discourse from the image of a global nation to a geographical place as a historical landmark is revealed. The weakening of the communicative role of recognition episodes, the presentation of Soviet specialists and public figures as world-famous Soviet songs, the increase in the frequency of using retrospective scenes, newsreels, and live interviews have been determined. The displacement of the leitmotif of the Globe in the discourse by the image of the house and the associated culture-specific images of the Tree of Eternity and the Stork Man is shown.

IKLIM ORGANISASI, USIA DAN MASA KERJA SEBAGAI PREDIKTOR SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING GURU SMP SWASTA X DI SURABAYA
Authors: Rahayuningsih Idha 
Published: November 2024

Background: Teachers' subjective well-being is influenced by the environment and situation within the organization. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of organizational climate, age and length of service on subjective well-being of teachers at Private Junior High School X in Surabaya. Method: The study used a quantitative correlational-predictive approach. The sample of the study was 40 teachers at Private Junior High School X in Surabaya. The researcher developed a Likert scale to measure subjective well-being based on Diener (1984, 1993) and organizational climate based on Litwin and Stringer (1965). Result: Logical validity testing was carried out by expert opinion for both scales. On the subjective well-being scale, the r value ranged from 0.273 - 0.66 and the cronbach alpha reliability coefficient = 0.865. On the r value scale, the r value ranged from 0.804 - 0.825 while the coefficient was 0.822 reliability. F = 15.204 and p = 0.001 < 0.05 indicate that the regression equation model Y = 42.591 + 0.598.X1 + 0.643.X2 + 1.055.X3 is a goodness of fit to predict subjective well-being through organizational climate, age and tenure. Conclution: R² = 0.559, indicates that 55.9% of the subjective well-being variance can be explained simultaneously by changes in organizational climate, age and tenure while 44.1% is explained by other variables. The results of the study also show that partially organizational climate, age and tenure have a positive and significant effect on subjective well-being.

Published: November 2024

The Upper Frame is the most important component of the excavator because it acts as an engine mount or hose holder connected to the main control valve. So for the welding process, special attention is needed for the frame center which aims to avoid weld distortion between the right side and the left and also as a cable holder from the engine. Therefore, the welding results require special attention starting from the size of the weld and the arrangement of defects in the weld results. The welding process on the Upper Frame uses the GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) process with Lincoln Merit ER70S-6 wire, where the wire size is 1.320 mm and the welding results will be tested using the NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) method, namely Visual Testing. This study aims to determine the results of visual tests in the inside Upper Frame 6015 area using the 1E0099 standard. 1E0099 is the welding procedure used at PT Caterpillar Indonesia Batam. Visual test results from GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) welding are expected to be free of weld defects. If there are still weld defects found, the welding results are still within the acceptance criteria based on internal code 1E0099.

Published: November 2024

Biomass blends with lignite coal (LC) normally have better co-combustion property, which in turn improves electricity output and reduces emissions. Given that global warming caused by emissions of CO, NOx, SO2, CO2 and NO from manufacturing industries and power plants is growing, this study seeks to find environmentally friendly alternative fuel to be employed. Here, suitable particle size of LC was combined with tree leaves (TL), cow dung manure (CDM) and banana tree waste (BTW) in the ratio of 90:10, 80:20, 70:30 and 60:40 each to form 16 samples (4 single and 12 blends). Thermal and combustion characteristics studies conducted during their combustion in an electric muffle furnace at 700 helped declare all blends as favorable with higher heating values ranging from 521179-892952 Btu/lb to be used as fuel in coal-powered plants. For moderately low emissions of flue gases, better thermal combustion property, high heating value (i.e., 892952 Btu/lb) and the highest electricity output, LC90 + CDM10 is the best blend discovered by this study. However, LC utilization still defeats the best performing blend in terms of lower emission with LC80 + TL20 having tolerably closer emission level compared to LC and a good substitute if emission must be kept as same level. Due to this shortcoming, further ratio adjustment or optimization and catalyst/additive addition is recommended to bring the emissions to environmentally friendly levels. It is also paramount to analyze the samples for chlorine concentrations to keep at desired composition in order not to risk a high temperature chlorine corrosion during co-combustion.

The increase in the number of vehicles is one of the causes of increasing air pollution. In addition, plastic waste is a type of inorganic waste that has long decomposed, plastic waste can be recycled into fuel oil. But each type of fuel has characteristic properties, this affects the exhaust emissions resulting from the combustion process. The purpose of this study is to determine the exhaust gas emissions (CO, HC, CO2 ) from Single Cylinder R175A type diesel engines with the three kind of fuel such as 100% plastic fuel oil, dexlite, and a mixture of plastic oil fuel and dexlite with a mixture ratio of 30% plastic oil: 70% dexlite (PO30), 50% plastic oil: 50% dexlite (PO50) and 70% plastic oil: 30% dexlite (PO70). The result obtained is that carbon monoxide (CO) exhaust emissions increase with increasing rpm, hydrocarbon (HC) emissions decrease with increasing rpm. The use of plastic fuel oil produces the lowest carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Preliminary Study on the Craniomandibular Measurements of the Lesser Ricefield Rat, Rattus losea (Rodentia: Muridae) from Taiwan
Authors: Biswas Jadab Kumar , Motokawa Masaharu 
Published: November 2024

A preliminary study was conducted on craniomandibular measurements in the lesser ricefield rat (Rattus losea) collected from Taiwan, using traditional morphometrics among a total of 26 morphometric characteristics. A relatively larger mean size was detected in males for 18 (69.23%) measurements. The condylobasal length ranged from 35.35 to 40.28 mm (mean: 37.65, SD: ± 1.63) in males and 36.38 to 39.12 mm (mean: 37.50, SD: ± 1.02) in females. The mandibular length varied from 19.62 to 23.95 mm (mean: 21.40, SD: ± 0.32) in males and 20.48–22.08 mm (mean: 21.04, SD: ± 0.52) in females. Two-sample univariate analysis indicated non-significant difference between the sexes for all measurements. In overall measurements, the length of the nasal bone was comparatively longer than the length of the frontal, parietal, and inter-parietal bone. Most characteristics of the skull (72%) showed a significant correlation with condylobasal length. Although the first principal component (PC) accounted for 58.24% of the total variance, scatter plots of the principal components showed that male and female values largely overlapped. Finally, we discussed the morphological characteristics of the R. losea skull in relation to the patterns of other Rattus species.

BackgroundImmune-related adverse events (irAEs) are reported to be associated with better overall survival (OS) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, there may be a bias in that patients who develop irAEs must survive long enough to experience the irAEs, and no prospective studies adjusting for immortal time bias (ITB) have examined the relationship between OS and pituitary dysfunction or the two different types of thyroid dysfunction: destructive thyroiditis and hypothyroidism without prior thyrotoxicosis (isolated hypothyroidism).MethodsPatients with NSCLC who received nivolumab or pembrolizumab at Nagoya University Hospital between November 2, 2015 and February 1, 2023 were enrolled. Endocrine irAEs were prospectively assessed during scheduled evaluations of hormone levels. The association between irAE development and survival when considering ITB was examined by time-dependent Cox regression analysis.ResultsOf the 194 patients included, 11 (5.7%), 10 (5.2%), and 5 (2.6%) developed pituitary dysfunction, destructive thyroiditis, and isolated hypothyroidism, respectively. The development of pituitary dysfunction (HR 0.36, 95% CI 0.13–0.98, p = 0.045) and destructive thyroiditis (HR 0.31, 95% CI 0.10–0.97, p = 0.044), but not isolated hypothyroidism (HR 1.15, 95% CI 0.42–3.20, p = 0.786), was significantly associated with longer OS.ConclusionNSCLC patients developing pituitary dysfunction and destructive thyroiditis showed better OS even after adjusting for ITB, suggesting that these irAEs indicate a better prognosis.

IntroductionVery little is known about the role of macrophages as immune mediators during natural HIV infection. Humanized mice are an extremely valuable in vivo model for studying HIV pathogenesis. However, the presence of murine mononuclear phagocytes in these models represents a significant limitation for studying their human counterpart. Therefore, we have developed a novel humanized mouse model that allows selective depletion of human myeloid cells at a time point of our choosing.MethodsWe genetically engineered human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) to express an inducible caspase-9 (iCas9) suicide system under a synthetic myeloid promoter. Using these HSPCs, we generated humanized mice. iCasp9 induction in vivo resulted in selective human myeloid cell death in this inducible human myeloid depletion (iHMD) mouse model. In addition, we co-cultured monocyte-derived macrophages with ex vivo HIV-infected PBMCs to further mechanistically investigate the effect of macrophages on HIV replication using flow cytometry, cytokine analysis, and RNA sequencing of both macrophages and CD4+ T cells.ResultsHIV infection induced a pro-inflammatory phenotype in HIV-infected humanized NSG mice during the early and late stages of HIV infection. Myeloid cell depletion in HIV-infected iHMD-NSG mice resulted in a rapid increase in HIV RNA replication, which was accompanied by a loss of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Co-culture of macrophages with ex vivo HIV-infected PBMCs reproduced their anti-HIV effects observed in vivo. Transcriptomic data showed macrophages upregulate antiviral cytokines and chemokines in co-culture, while inducing CD4+ T cells to upregulate HIV restriction factors and downregulate pathways involved in protein expression and cell replication.DiscussionThis study describes a novel role of macrophages as effector cells, both ex vivo and in vivo, acting against HIV replication and limiting disease progression.

Published: November 2024

IntroductionWhile there is an increasing understanding of COVID-19's effect on different organs, little is known about the effect of the disease on bone turnover and remodeling so far. Osteoimmunological biomarkers have been described as potential indicators of bone remodeling in inflammatory conditions, but their potential role in evaluating the effect of COVID-19 on bone fragility has not been explored so far. MethodsThe present study aims to measure the osteoimmunological biomarkers in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery, to evaluate the potential effect of COVID-19 on the bone response to the surgery. ResultsIn our patients, the RANKL/OPG ratio indicated an increase of bone resorption in COVID-19-positive patients, confirming a strong diagnostic and prognostic value. RANKL/OPG displays a good correlation with the bone fragility maker FGF23, indicating that this parameter is a reliable maker of bone fragility in COVID-19 patients and could provide useful and comprehensive information about inflammation-induced bone loss. Consistently, the RANKL/OPG ratio showed a good correlation also with the two inflammatory markers IL-6 and sRAGE. DiscussionTaken together these results indicate that the use of an osteoimmunological biomarker like the RANKL/OPG ratio could provide a significant improvement in the clinical evaluation of the COVID-19 effect on bone loss. This aspect is extremely important in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery, which can manifest more severe effects of COVID-19 and present an increased level of age-induced bone fragility.
