Authors: Singh Nimmi , Singh Swati , Singh Priyankar , Singh Devika , Mishra Navin , Sharma Arbind 
Published: November 2023

Objectives:
COVID-19 pandemic is considered to be highly transmissible disease that can cause severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2), as dental operatory has a unique environment. Oral surgeons, who are continuously working on mouth-related conditions, are at maximum risk of direct and indirect exposure to these potentially infectious viruses. Therefore, the objective of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of Rapid antigen tests (RATs). RATS are helpful in identifying the viral pathogens and anticipate the need for pathogen testing in the dental operatories.

Material and Methods:
A total of 103 subjects were enrolled, who reported to Oral Medicine and Radiology (OMR) and Out Patient Department (OPD) at our institute. All patients who reported to our OPD with and without symptoms were sent for RAT before entering the operatory. Demographic data and symptoms such as cold, cough, fever, and breathlessness were recorded for all subjects.

Results:
In our study, the predominant age groups that were affected by COVID-19 were 21–40 and 41–60 years. Males were affected more as compared to females in these age groups. The most common symptoms observed were cold, cough, fever, and breathlessness. The symptom which was of most concern for us was breathlessness; 1.9% subjects had breathlessness, and all were RAT positive.

Conclusion:
Unique environment of dental setup possesses a high risk of infection with COVID-19 virus, for both the staff and the patients. RAT delivers immediate, accurate, and appropriate results to dental clinics and their teams, which help to reduce the transmission of disease. It also contributes to the free flow of patients in hospitals.

Abstract
The livestock industry and animal scientists have long recognized the importance of proper nutrition for cattle to achieve reproductive success. Timely resumption of estrus following parturition is a major milestone that a cow must reach for optimal reproduction. Dynamic interplay among all strata of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal-ovarian axis occurs during the cow's transition from postpartum anestrus to reproductive competence. The reproductive axis integrates a milieu of nutritionally related signals that directly or indirectly affect reproduction. Directing nutritional inputs toward anabolic processes is critical to stimulating key events that promote reproductive success. Although prepartum and postpartum energy balance are the most important factors affecting duration of the postpartum interval to first estrus in beef cows, other nutritional inputs likely impinge on the hypothalamo-hypophyseal-ovarian axis to influence reproduction. For example, feeding fat to beef cows for approximately 60 d before calving may improve pregnancy rates in the upcoming breeding season. Supplementing postpartum diets with lipids high in linoleic acid can impede reproductive performance of beef cows. Precise mechanisms through which nutritional inputs mediate reproduction have not yet been fully elucidated. Scientists investigating nutritional mediators of reproduction, or how nutritional inputs affect reproduction, must be cognizant of the interactions among nutrients and nutritional cues responsible for mediating reproduction.
Simulation of Horizontal and Vertical Integration in Digital Twins
Authors: Simon Carlo , Haag Stefan 
Published: November 2023

Horizontal integration describes the linkage of processes to simplify the flow of materials and information between different corporations. Vertical integration describes the connection or merging of processes between top and shop floors inside the very same organization to enable comprehensive possibilities for optimization, allowing – virtually as side effect – for the customized production of batch size one orders.
Both fields offer interesting issues, for example how to gain insight into what kind of effects a possible transformation could have prior to conducting said transformation – maybe assembly of a new production line, reengineering of a supply chain or managing the change of a business process due to new market constraints. Alterations naturally come at a price, thus, testing the consequences by implementation is nearly always infeasible.
To lessen the cost of change, transformations can be analyzed using digital twins – by modelling real world machinery, work pieces and processes, then simulating them and their interaction.
The authors present a possibility to implement digital twins in arbitrary magnitude and level of detail. A web-based specification and simulation environment allows for modelling both high-level business processes and field level as well as activities across companies' borders, comprising everything between.

El limón sutil es un cultivo de alta demanda e importancia en el desarrollo socioeconómico en Perú, empleándose mayormente fertilizantes inorgánicos que generan incrementos constantes en los costos de producción, siendo necesario el uso de alternativas orgánicas e inocuas para su producción. El objetivo fue evaluar el efecto de diferentes dosis de biol o biofertilizante, y su correlación en los parámetros productivos y de calidad en el cultivo de limón sutil. Se evaluaron cuatro tratamientos: T0 (testigo: manejo convencional), T1 (Biol 10%), T2 (Biol 20%) y T3 (Biol 30%) aplicados cada 15 días, evaluando los siguientes parámetros: 1) productivos: diámetro del fruto (DF), grosor de cáscara (GC), peso del fruto (PF), rendimiento por ha (RHa) y 2) calidad: acidez (AD), porcentaje de sólidos solubles (PSS), pH, zumo o jugo de limón (ZL). Se realizó análisis de correlación, análisis de componentes principales-ACP, un ANOVA, y se analizó la relación Beneficio/Costo. En el ACP se obtuvo dos componentes: C1 (71.40%) y C2 (11.80%) explicando el 83.20% de la variabilidad. El C1 explica la mayor variabilidad y agrupó variables: G-I (ZL, AD), G-II (DF, GC, PSS) y GIII (PF, RHa). Los tratamientos con Biol 10%, 20%, 30% en ZL, AD (G-I) presentaron los mejores resultados (P < 0.05); el T2 presentó los mayores valores de PF y RHa, y fue el tratamiento más rentable (B/C=3.84). El Biofertilizante es una alternativa para reducir el uso de fertilizantes sintéticos y los costos de producción. El biofertilizante al 20% resultó más rentable y mejoró variables evaluadas.

Published: November 2023

The objective of this study is to present a preliminary study to demonstrate the importance of expanding the Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) in the city of João Pessoa. This would ensure the best level of operational comfort, safety, social inclusion, and sustainability with the existing transport network in the city. The methodology used began with the collection of data provided by public agencies that regulate urban transport modes in the city and other technical sources that report on the feasibility of implementing the LRV. Then the main bus routes used by the population were analyzed (in relation to passenger volume) and how these routes could be improved if LRV could be inserted as a viable option. With the study, it was realized that there is no possibility of replacing one mode of transportation with another to drive all passengers. The optimal solution is to make expansions in the system that can make LRV an affordable and quality alternative for people to move around the city. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-10-014 Full Text: PDF
The academic literacy journey of student writers at transition to an English Medium Instruction (EMI) university programme in Japan
Authors: Hadingham Oliver 
Published: November 2023

English Medium Instruction (EMI) has spread far and wide in recent years, becoming a prominent feature of higher education globally. One area of research is devoted to exploring how students cope with the transition to EMI university programmes. The present study traces the academic literacy challenges of 40 1st year EMI social science students during their initial 14-week academic writing preparatory course at a university in Japan. A mixed-methods approach was used to chart changes in student perceptions of academic literacy challenges via questionnaires, interviews, and written journals. No significant change was discernible in student perceptions of academic writing difficultiesover the semester. However, different patterns of fluctuation for different groups of students were evident, with beliefs about the challenges of developing academic literacy strengthening and weakening over the semester. Qualitative content analysis revealed that the transition towards academic literacy was a demanding one. Students felt unprepared for the demands of academic writing, given the high-stakes exam focus of high school English curricula in Japan. The study underlines the importance of EMI support provision focused on discipline-specific language and academic literacy development.
RELATED CONCEPTS: CULTURAL MATERIALISM, NEW HISTORICISM, CULTURAL STUDIES
Authors: MUREȘAN Maria 
Published: November 2023

Until 1988 Stephen Greenblatt practiced a kind of criticism which was closer to Cultural Materialism in its emphasis on ideology, on the exercise of state power in creating narratives supporting its desired self-image. In “Renaissance Self-Fashioning from More to Shakespeare” (Chicago University Oress, 1982), Greenblatt undertakes a Foucauldian archaeology into the imaginary which caught the public eye in an age reputed for its self-dramatization and acting.	Alan Sinfield assumed his position as cultural materialist, which he equates with political dissidence, in his book, “Faultlines” (1992) from the very title: “Faultlines Cultural Materialism and the Politics of Dissident Reading”. Included in this book is an essay on “Cultural Materialism, Othello, and the Politics of Plausibility”.	In a New Historicist approach to the play (“The Shakespearean Search for Archetypes”, 2020), Maria-Ana Tupan reads the plot against other texts that circulated at the time, and which account for the cognitive background of the characters. Neema Parvini, a scholar from the University of Surrey, is a telling example of the way New Historicism works, that is, through a historicized and theorized approach to the author in question and through meditation on the tools of his interpretation (metatheory). New Historicism too distances itself from the official canon, focusing on less known texts whose marginalization is seen as the policy of networks of power. Raymond Williams launched a concept somewhat similar to Foucault’s episteme – the “structure of feeling” – and his contribution to cultural anthropology dates back to 1961 when he published “The Long Revolution”. In Marin Sorescu’s “Vărul Shakespeare” (“Cousin Shakespeare”), for instance, Hamlet’s rage against the corruption of the Danish court swells so high because he is absolute for the humanistic ideals and values which were indeed current in the author’s time, but which do not characterize either the time of the action (dated by Saxo Grammaticus at about 1200 AD) nor the time of the author rewriting it for a postmodern audience. Similarly, D. R. Popescu produces a palimpsestic text in his 2012 novel, “Simonetta Berlusconi. Calugarul Filippo Lippi și călugărița Lucrezia Buti”, where not only do characters join a transhistorical party (the author too lapses into the chronodiegetic universe of the Italian Renaissance, visited by a refugee from Vlad the Impaler’s land) but the very ontological stability of the worlds vanishes into the faultlines separating authors, critics, editors, characters. The ongoing discussions about the sources, tenets, concepts and protocols of New Historicism, which are trying to breathe new life into a critical theory which colonized literary studies at the turn of the millennium, are revisionist and summative, locating New Historicism in the general picture assembled by William Wolfreys as editor of a book of essays on “Criticism at the 21st Century ”(Edinburgh University Press, 2002).
