Ranking heterogeneous US consumer beef attribute preferences
Authors: Schroeder Ted C. , Osman Eliyasu Y. , Lancaster Phillip A. , White Brad J. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Consumer preferences for beef products are diverse and progressing with societal changes. Long-standing product quality attribute preferences are being extended with increased attention to sustainability – especially environmental impacts and social concerns of cattle and beef production. Cattle producers need to understand this evolution to make informed production and marketing decisions. This study reports results of a nationally representative survey of 3,001 US consumers measuring beef product preferences. While beef product freshness, safety, price, and flavor are most often cited as most important, environmental and societal concerns are important to a notable segment of consumers. Heterogeneous consumers suggest multiple strategies to satisfy diverse preferences will be most successful.
Gesetzlicher Mindestlohn: Auswirkungen auf Frauen und Männer
Authors: Ohlert Clemens 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Since its introduction, minimum wage has led to greater increases in average hourly wages and monthly earnings for women than for men. The effects of minimum wage on the hourly wages of women and men affected by the minimum wage have been similar on average. However, women are more frequently employed in the minimum wage sector than men and therefore benefit from it more often. Reductions in working hours due to the introduction of minimum wage were lower for women than for men in the short term. Minimum wage did not have a significant effect on employment for women or men and therefore contributes to reducing pay inequality by gender.
Euphemistic Means of the Erotic Narrative in the Cycle <i>Dark Alleys</i> by I. Bunin
Authors: Isachenko O. M. , Sin He 
Published: February 2024

Purpose. The article analyses the features of the erotic narrative of I. A. Bunin in his cycle Dark Alleys, which became a phenomenon in Russian classical literature – a kind of artistic “encyclopedia of love”, written in defiance of ethical and ideological prohibitions.Results. Erotica in this cycle is presented in descriptions of the physiology of sex and sexual communication. The research examines 209 contexts extracted from the cycle. They describe actions of a sexual nature, including violent or commercial ones, human physiology and anatomy (59 contexts), which determine human sexual behavior. The writer widely uses various methods of euphemization of erotic meanings: synonymous replacements, generalization techniques, allusion, ellipsis, silence. Quantitative data show that the main speech strategy in the Bunin cycle is silence, which is implemented in a whole series of stylistic tropes and figures. I. A. Bunin uses a diverse arsenal of units of the lexical, lexico-morphological and syntactic levels. Euphemisms appear in areas of maximum erotic tension. With their help, the author reduces the “emotionogenicity” of erotica in accordance with his own ideas about the boundaries of what is acceptable and permissible.Conclusion. In the vertical context of Russian culture, I. Bunin’s erotic narrative, his restraint and precision in the choice of linguistic means, the deliberate exclusion of naturalism and reduced style serve to preserve harmony in the triad “LOVE – PASSION – SEX”. The Bunin language of Dark Alleys can be considered a classic standard of the sacrament of physical love, which the writers of the 20th century were guided by, accepting or rejecting it.
Reminiscence of A. S. Pushkin’s <i>Tale about the Dead Princess</i> in B. L. Pasternak’s Poem <i>Hoarfrost</i>
Authors: Aksionova A. A. 
Published: February 2024

Purpose. The poem Hoarfrost among the other works of B. L. Pasternak shows a problem of borders in three different ways: as the inner world of the lyrical hero, as a correlation of a fairy-tale and casual aspects of life, and as a state of nature. It is no coincidence that Hoarfrost is included in the “boundary”, transitional to the late stage of Pasternak's work, the Peredelkino cycle.Results. On the one hand, the theme of an end of a unique human life (in contrast to the endlessly reproduced cycle of death and rebirth of nature) is revealed in images of fear, deceptive order and mistrust. On the other hand, the creative gift of poetic (and childlike) vision brings semantics of consolation. The most surprising thing that happens to the lyrical hero is the discovery of correlations: all the solemn harmony of the environment turns out to be a living representation of the poetical harmony, such as Pushkin's quatrain in The Tale of the Dead Princess.Conclusion. Thus, the everyday world is an extension of the ideal, sacred sense. This discovery requires the efforts of the hero, who moves from a sense of discord between a human and the world to a dialogue with nature and the hope of being heard.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Manufacturing industries struggle to devise precise planning and scheduling solutions due to unpredictable business situations. Additionally, uncertainties in production such as machine breakdowns, labour absenteeism, cycle time deviations, etc., would further deteriorate production plans and lead to uncertainty in decision-making processes. Flow shops with bottlenecks are particularly susceptible to these disturbances. Moreover, the random variations in cycle time variations can cause the bottleneck to shift between different stages. Literature indicates that conventional job release methods are ineffective in addressing these difficulties. In contrast, workload control methods would provide better solutions. Hence, a flow shop model has been developed and simulated using the variables like process time variations and bottleneck shifting on the discrete-event simulation software. The flow shop model incorporates realistic shop characteristics which are subjected to random process time variations, so as to assess the performance. The outcomes of the experimentation demonstrate that order release methods play a pivotal role in improving the performance of flow shops in more volatile situations.
Investigation of the effects of machining parameters on cutting conditions during orthogonal turning of austenite stainless steel

Published: February 2024

Abstract
The 1.4306 austenite stainless steel has been prominently utilized as a material in the automotive and aerospace industry. Considerable interest has been garnered in the machinability of stainless steel owing to its high strength and poor thermal conductivity. The aim of this study is to ascertain the influential cutting parameters, specifically the cutting speed and feed rate, on cut-ting forces, cutting temperature, and chip evaluation. Thus, austenite stainless steel was subjected to free-cutting using a carbide recessing tool under dry conditions. The principle of measuring cutting temperature, a complex procedure due to varying thermal homogeneity, was elucidated. For the turning experiments in question, the standard Taguchi orthogonal array L9 (32), featuring two factors and three levels, was employed. The experimental results were analyzed using MiniTab 17 software. The findings reveal a substantial effect of feed rate on cutting force, cutting temperature, and chip evaluation. The highest cutting force and cutting temperature were observed at a feed rate of 0.15 mm/rev. Conversely, the cutting force was minimized at a cutting speed of 100 m/min, indicating potential for increasing the cutting speed. The augmentation of feed rate led to chip compression and discoloration, attributed to elevated cutting force and a larger chip cross-section that efficiently dissipates heat from the cutting zone.

Published: February 2024

Four species of the family Ranunculaceae were collected from Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park (SNNP). These were Aconitum ferox Wall ex Ser, Clematis smilacifolia Wall, Ranunculus scleratus L. and Thallictrum foliolosum DC. Among these Aconitum ferox is threatened plant and are widely collected for medicinal purpose. The plant is used for curing many diseases.
Nepal is rich in biodiversity and it harbors 2% of the world’s flowering plants and it boasts around 6200 species. Floral diversity is quite high in SNNP due to its location, altitudinal and climatic variations. However its detailed study is not undertaken till now. Human survival primarily depends upon the plant resources. Plants and plant product form an integral part of our life and it is extremely difficult to imagine the survival of human without it. The area shows climatic variation from subtropical to lower temperate. Indigenous knowledge and traditional practice about the use of plants of SNNP has not been documented.

The effect of personalized orthopedic insoles on plantar pressure during running in subtle cavus foot
Authors: Ma Mujia , Song Qingquan , Liu Hui 
Published: February 2024

Objective: This study aims to investigate the patterns of plantar pressure distribution during running for patients with subtle cavus foot (SCF) and determine the impact of personalized orthopedic insoles with forefoot wedge on plantar pressure distribution in patients with SCF.Methods: Sixteen undergraduate participants (8 with SCF and 8 with normal arches) were recruited based on arch height index measurements. Two full-length insoles were personalized for each SCF based on plantar pressures during running, an arch support insole (ASI) and an arch support with forefoot wedge insole (AFI). Foot pressure data collected during different insole conditions in running, analyzing ten regions of footprints for peak pressure and pressure-time integral.Results: Higher peak pressures were observed in patients with SCF at the medial forefoot (p = 0.021), medial heel (p = 0.013), and lateral heel (p = 0.025), with a higher pressure-time integral also noted at the medial forefoot (p = 0.025), medial heel (p = 0.015), and lateral heel (p = 0.047) when compared to normal arches. Compared with without-insole, both the AFI and the ASI reduced peak pressure at the medial (AFI p = 0.011; ASI p = 0.024) and lateral heel (AFI p = 0.028; ASI p = 0.032). The AFI reduced peak pressure at the medial heel (p = 0.013) compared with the ASI. Both the AFI and the ASI reduced pressure-time integral at the medial forefoot (AFI p = 0.003; ASI p = 0.026), central forefoot (AFI p = 0.005; ASI p = 0.011), medial heel (AFI p = 0.017; ASI p = 0.005), and lateral heel (AFI p = 0.017; ASI p = 0.019). Additionally, the ASI reduced pressure-time integral at the big toe (p = 0.015) compared with the without-insole.Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that during running in patients with SCF, plantar pressures are concentrated in the forefoot and heel compared to the normal arch. The personalized orthotic insoles can be used to effectively redistribute plantar pressure in patients with SCF running. Incorporating a forefoot wedge to specifically address the biomechanical abnormalities associated with SCF may enhance the effectiveness of orthopedic insoles.

Background and aimsFavourable clinical data were published on the efficacy of CT-P13, the first biosimilar of infliximab (IFX), in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); however, few studies have compared the effect on endoscopic healing (EH) and drug retention rate between the IFX originator and CT-P13. Therefore, we aimed to compare EH and the drug retention rate between the IFX originator and CT-P13.MethodsChildren with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)/IBD-unclassified (IBD-U) at 22 medical centers were enrolled, with a retrospective review conducted at 1-year and last follow-up. Clinical remission, EH and drug retention rate were evaluated.ResultsWe studied 416 pediatric patients with IBD: 77.4% had CD and 22.6% had UC/IBD-U. Among them, 255 (61.3%) received the IFX originator and 161 (38.7%) received CT-P13. No statistically significant differences were found between the IFX originator and CT-P13 in terms of corticosteroid-free remission and adverse events. At 1-year follow-up, EH rates were comparable between them (CD: P=0.902, UC: P=0.860). The estimated cumulative cessation rates were not significantly different between the two groups. In patients with CD, the drug retention rates were 66.1% in the IFX originator and 71.6% in the CT-P13 group at the maximum follow-up period (P &gt;0.05). In patients with UC, the drug retention rates were 49.8% in the IFX originator and 56.3% in the CT-P13 group at the maximum follow-up period (P &gt;0.05).ConclusionsThe IFX originator and CT-P13 demonstrated comparable therapeutic response including EH, clinical remission, drug retention rate and safety in pediatric IBD.
