Authors: Dantara Tri Wahyudi Iman , Aritonang Deddy Christian 
Published: March 2023

Background Sikari is a remote district in Papua, Indonesia, which is malaria-endemic. Malaria infection during pregnancy has been linked to poor birth outcomes.
Objective To evaluate for an association between malaria infection in pregnancy and birth outcome.
Methods This cohort study compared the outcomes of newborns from mothers infected with malaria during pregnancy vs. uninfected controls. We included clinical data of 82 pregnant women from January to December 2020 at the Batavia Public Health Center, Sikari District, Mamberamo Raya, Papua. Malaria diagnosis was established based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria and positive rapid diagnostic tests. The maternal and infant characteristics analyzed were years of formal education, antenatal care (ANC) visits, gestational age, obstetric history, diagnosis of malaria, birth weight, APGAR score, and newborn mortality.
Results Forty-six mothers (56.1%) were diagnosed with malaria during pregnancy, of whom 33 (71.7%) had tropical malaria, 7 (15.2%) had tertian malaria, and 6 (13.0%) had mixed malaria. Malaria infections of any type were associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (OR 5.34; 95%CI 1.10 to 25.91; P=0.04), low birth weight (LBW) (OR 49.00; 95%CI 28.62 to 838.89; P=0.00), newborn mortality (OR 13.86; 95%CI 0.76 to 251.37; P=0.04), and low 5-minute APGAR score (OR 23.65; 95%CI 1.34 to 416.61; P=0.03). Tropical malaria was associated with a higher risk of preterm birth (OR 5.44; 95%CI 1.06 to 27.86; P=0.04), LBW (OR 15.22; 95%CI 1.82 to 127.02; P=0.01), newborn mortality (OR 14.09; 95%CI 0.75 to 265.48; P=0.04), and low APGAR (OR 24.33; 95%CI 1.34 to 440.77; P=0.03). Mixed malaria was associated with a higher risk of LBW (OR 35.00; 95%CI 2.73 to 449.10; P=0.01) and low APGAR score (OR 40.56; 95%CI 1.67 to 985.39; P=0.02).
Conclusion Malaria infections are associated with an increased risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, newborn mortality, and low 5-minute APGAR scores.

Of all various kinds of natural resources that provide vital activity of all kinds of living organisms, people, society and state, the most important are water resources without the presence of which it is impossible not only for human life itself but also for the whole environment.
Waters are the most important components of the environment, renewable, limited and vulnerable natural resources. They are used and protected as the basis of life and activities of the peoples living on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan, provide economic, social, environmental well-being of the population, the existence of fauna and flora (Fedtsov, V.G., Fedtsova, A.V. and Ezhov, Y.A. 2005).
Occupying the 9th place in the world in terms of the size of its territory, the Republic of Kazakhstan due to its geographical location, local climate, dependence on transboundary water resources and other reasons, belongs to the category of one of the poorly water-secured regions of the globe. This fact entails the need to organize the processes of the most careful attitude to water resources, the legal provision of its rational use and all-round protection from pollution, littering and depletion, in order to ensure water security not only for the citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan, but also for all mankind.

Authors: AKBULAEV Nurkhodzha 
Published: March 2023

Tourism is a dynamically developing branch of the national economy of both developed and developing countries, which, accordingly, have the necessary potential of recreational resources. The purpose of standardization in the field of tourist services is to increase the level of safety of a tourist product or a separate tourist service, to ensure the declared level of quality, as well as to protect the interests of consumers of tourist services from unfair competition in the market. Compliance of tourist services sold to the consumer with the requirements of legislative and regulatory documents, established standards is confirmed by a certificate issued by an authorized certification body. One of the effective methods of branding of the territory (region) is outsourcing of foreign services of certification, standardization and Metrology, including in the field of tourism. In this regard, the issues of financing of certification, standardization and Metrology processes in the field of tourism are particularly relevant. It is worth noting that in the situation of developing countries, where the national system of voluntary certification is not always trusted by foreign investors, the most relevant analysis of the best practices of developed countries and the outsourcing of relevant services from specialized transnational corporations. In this study, we analyzed the certification programs in the field of tourism and their financing models, as well as clarified the role of outsourcing of foreign certification services, standardization and Metrology in the field of branding of the territory and developed recommendations for optimizing financial flows. The results of the study will be useful to the General scientific community around the world.

Published: March 2023

This article is purposed to address the vital research aims: (1) to examine the impact of the growth in tourism on economic and human development; (2) to understand the current state of research between three observed variables in the development process; (3) to find out the research gap in population, that is the bulk of research concentrate to “tourism led growth hypothesis” but less of “relationship between tourism, economic and human development” in the same study. This research is a systematic literature review using a search-strategy-developing that is based on the PICOC concept. The data collection follows the Prisma diagram sequence. The main keywords are “economic growth”, “tourism development”, “human development” in the 1975 - 2021 period, the 90 articles with at least one citation for the review are collected to clarify the research aims. Some main results are highlighted: (1) A short-term, long-term, and causal relationship between observed variables of tourism in developing countries, developed countries, and emerging countries. (2) A set of quantitative research methods in time series was used for analysis. (3) propose some future research directions. The former results contributed to the identification of the role of tourism in economic development, thereby building a strategy for exploiting and developing sustainable tourism. The latter is to measure the level of human development (in a positive view) through economic development and tourism. Furthermore, it is also to complete a comprehensive economic development strategy on human welfare, quality of life, and sustainability.
Selected numerical methods to model the fractional-order system behavior of nonlaminated magnetic actuators
Authors: Seifert Robert , Hecht Martin , Hofmann Wilfried 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Nonlaminated magnetic actuators are highly influenced by eddy currents and minor perturbations like e. g. hysteresis. Known analytical models lead to trans-cendental system descriptions with fractional-order characteristics, not suited for the actuator control. Although analytical approximations resolve the issue, the inclusion of minor perturbations leads to impractical model orders, which require simplifications and compromise the model accuracy. This article studies numerical methods to directly approximate the transcendental systems or measurement data, allowing for a high accuracy with sufficiently low orders. We improve existing approaches like Levy’s method and vector fitting and apply them to a fractional-order system. Using measurement data, a comparison shows that the numerical approaches match or excel our previously studied analytical approximations.
Machine learning for the perception of autonomous construction machinery
Authors: Heide Nina Felicitas , Petereit Janko 
Published: March 2023

AbstractRobotic systems require holistic capabilities to sense, perceive, and act autonomously within their application environment. A safe and trustworthy autonomous operation is essential, especially in hazardous environments and critical applications like autonomous construction machinery for the decontamination of landfill sites. This article presents an enhanced combination of machine learning (ML) methods with classic artificial intelligence (AI) methods and customized validation methods to ensure highly reliable and accurate sensing and perception of the environment for autonomous construction machinery. The presented methods have been developed, evaluated, and applied within the Competence Center »Robot Systems for Decontamination in Hazardous Environments« (ROBDEKON) for investigating and developing robotic systems for autonomous decontamination tasks. The objective of this article is to give a holistic, in-depth overview for the ML-based part of the perception pipeline for an autonomous construction machine working in unstructured environments.
Beiträge zur Regelung des VGF-Kristallzüchtungsprozesses
Authors: Ecklebe Stefan , Gehring Nicole , Woittennek Frank , Winkler Jan 
Published: March 2023

Zusammenfassung
Das VGF-Verfahren ist ein moderner Prozess zur Züchtung von Einkristallen, der Grundlage für nahezu alle elektronischen Anwendungen. Die sukzessive Erstarrung der Schmelze zum Einkristall wird dabei durch geeignete Ansteuerung der als Aktoren in der Anlage zur Verfügung stehenden Heizer realisiert. Dieses Regelungsproblem ist Gegenstand des Beitrags, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf einer anschaulichen und einführenden Darstellung der Thematik und weniger den mathematischen Details liegt. Basierend auf einem Modell des Kristallzüchtungsprozesses, das partielle Differentialgleichungen für die Wärmediffusion in Schmelze und Kristall beinhaltet und aufgrund der Übergangsbedingung an der Phasengrenze als zweiphasiges Stefan-Problem bezeichnet wird, werden zwei Entwürfe von Folgereglern vorgestellt. Ein flachheitsbasierter Ansatz nutzt eine endlichdimensionale Approximation des Modells, während eine mittels Backstepping entworfene Zustandsrückführung unendlichdimensional ist. Beide Regler werden in umfangreichen Simulationsstudien validiert und miteinander verglichen.
Crisis alert: (Dis)information selection and sharing in the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Klebba Lea-Johanna , Winter Stephan 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
High levels of threat and uncertainty characterize the onset of societal crises. Here, people are exposed to conflicting information in the media, including disinformation. Because individuals often base their news selection on pre-existing attitudes, the present study aims to examine selective exposure effects in the face of a crisis, and identify right-wing ideological, trust-, and science-related beliefs that might influence the selection and sharing of disinformation. A representative survey of German internet users (N = 1101) at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak showed a confirmation bias in crisis-related news selection and sharing. It revealed right-wing authoritarianism and political mistrust as significant predictors of disinformation selection. The influence of social dominance orientation, mistrust in politics, and perceived certainty of knowledge were significant for sharing disinformation. The present results extend previous knowledge about people’s (dis)information behavior in times of crisis, and shed light on groups particularly vulnerable to disinformation.
Say what you want, I’m not listening!

Published: March 2023

Abstract
We present a conversational social robot behaviour design that draws from psychotherapy research to support individual self-reflection and wellbeing, without requiring the robot to parse or otherwise understand what the user is saying. This simplicity focused approached enabled us to intersect the well-being aims with privacy and simplicity, while achieving high robustness. We implemented a fully autonomous and standalone (not network enabled) prototype and conducted a proof-of-concept study as an initial step to test the feasibility of our behaviour design: whether people would successfully engage with our simple behaviour and could interact meaningfully with it. We deployed our robot unsupervised for 48 h into the homes of 14 participants. All participants engaged with self-reflection with the robot without reporting any interaction challenges or technical issues. This supports the feasibility of our specific behaviour design, as well as the general viability of our non-parsing simplicity approach to conversation, which we believe to be an exciting avenue for further exploration. Our results thus pave the way for further exploring how conversational behaviour designs like ours may support people living with loneliness.
GRS contributions to flow-induced vibrations related activities in Europe
Authors: Papukchiev Angel 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Flow-induced vibrations in nuclear power plants may lead to material fatigue, fretting wear, and eventually to loss of component integrity. The consequences might be substantial costs due to long unplanned outages or a fault that requires safety provisions to perform as intended. To avoid these, Fluid-Structure Interaction analyses are performed to understand and predict the complex thermal-hydraulic and structural mechanics phenomena. To further advance the knowledge of solving FSI problems with the help of numerical tools, in the beginning of 2020, the joint industry VIKING project was established in Europe. Further, OECD/NEA initiated in 2021 an FSI Benchmark on FIV that should be finished by the end of 2022 and the final synthesis report should be published in 2023. This paper provides a short overview of the GRS contributions within these two international activities on the prediction of FIV in nuclear power reactors.
The content of this article was initially presented at the 33rd German CFD Network of Competence Meeting, held on March 22–23 at GRS in Garching, Germany.
Das sich wandelnde Selbstverständnis des Vereins für Socialpolitik im Spiegel seiner Jahrestagungen 1950 bis 2000
Authors: Schefold Bertram 
Published: March 2023

Zusammenfassung
Nach seiner Wiedergründung war man im Vorstand des Vereins für Socialpolitik bis in die sechziger Jahre bestrebt, es dem alten Verein gleichzutun, wie er bis zur Selbstauflösung unter dem Nationalsozialismus bestanden hatte. Der Verein sollte nicht nur eine Berufsvereinigung von Ökonomen sein, sondern durch seine Tagungen und Publikationen auf die Öffentlichkeit im Sinne einer aufklärenden und wachstumsfördernden, an aktuelle Fragestellungen anknüpfenden Wirtschaftspolitik wirken. Tagungen wurden durch Materialsammlungen vorbereitet, Vorträge und Diskussionen publiziert. Die liberale Presse pflegte darüber ausführlich und mit engagierter Kritik zu berichten. Mit der Zunahme der Zahl der Universitäten und Hochschullehrer wurde es notwendig, die Tagungen für eine breitere Teilnahme zu öffnen, es wurden neue Ausschüsse gegründet, und die Teilnehmer veröffentlichten ihre Ergebnisse zunehmend selbstständig in internationalen Zeitschriften.

AbstractMitophagy is a fundamental quality control mechanism of mitochondria. Its regulatory mechanisms and pathological implications remain poorly understood. Here, via a mitochondria‐targeted genetic screen, we found that knockout (KO) of FBXL4, a mitochondrial disease gene, hyperactivates mitophagy at basal conditions. Subsequent counter screen revealed that FBXL4‐KO hyperactivates mitophagy via two mitophagy receptors BNIP3 and NIX. We determined that FBXL4 functions as an integral outer‐membrane protein that forms an SCF‐FBXL4 ubiquitin E3 ligase complex. SCF‐FBXL4 ubiquitinates BNIP3 and NIX to target them for degradation. Pathogenic FBXL4 mutations disrupt SCF‐FBXL4 assembly and impair substrate degradation. Fbxl4−/− mice exhibit elevated BNIP3 and NIX proteins, hyperactive mitophagy, and perinatal lethality. Importantly, knockout of either Bnip3 or Nix rescues metabolic derangements and viability of the Fbxl4−/− mice. Together, beyond identifying SCF‐FBXL4 as a novel mitochondrial ubiquitin E3 ligase restraining basal mitophagy, our results reveal hyperactivated mitophagy as a cause of mitochondrial disease and suggest therapeutic strategies.

Authors: Rincón-Barón Edgar Javier , Torres-Rodríguez Gerardo Andrés , Cuarán Viviana Lucia , Carreño-Olejua René , Passarelli Lilian M. 
Published: March 2023

Introducción: Estudios sobre la microsporogénesis de la planta del chocolate son inexistentes y poco se conoce sobre la ultraestructura de los granos de polen. Objetivos: se describe por primera vez y de manera pormenorizada el proceso de microsporogénesis, destacándose aspectos ultraestructurales de los granos de polen en T. cacao. Métodos: Se procesaron más de 30 flores por cada uno de los estadios del desarrollo floral de acuerdo con los protocolos para embeber y seccionar en parafina. Las secciones obtenidas se tiñeron con Safranina-Azul de Alcian, PAS-Amidoblack y Lacmoid. Se procesaron muestras adicionales en resina y se tiñeron con azul de toluidina y se observaron secciones ultrafinas con microscopía electrónica de transmisión (TEM). Para la observación con microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM), el material se fijó y deshidrató en 2,2 dimetoxipropano, luego se secó hasta un punto crítico y se recubrieron con oro. Resultados: las anteras se diferencian de una masa celular en los extremos distales de los filamentos estaminales. Durante el desarrollo la pared de las anteras presenta varios estratos celulares y al madurar se reducen a la epidermis y al endotecio. Las células madre de microsporas se dividen por mitosis y luego experimentan meiosis para formar tétrades. El tapete es secretor y se mantiene hasta antes de la liberación de los granos de polen, posteriormente degenera. Durante la formación de la esporodermis, primero se deposita la exina y luego la intina. Los granos de polen son isopolares, pequeños, esferoidales, tricolpados. La esporodermis es semitectada, con ornamentación reticulada, retículos heterobrochados, los muros sin ornamentación. Los orbículas son individuales, lisas y de diferentes tamaños. La ultraestructura muestra que los granos de polen son semitectados, la ectexina formada por tectum, columelas y capa basal que constituye la ornamentación reticulada y una endexina muy delgada y compacta. El polenkit es abundante sobre el tectum y entre las columelas. La intina es muy delgada, pero se desarrolla ampliamente en las zonas de los colpos formando una intina compacta interna y una inusual intina externa de apariencia columelada. Conclusión: La estructura y desarrollo de las anteras sigue los patrones conocidos de las angiospermas. La microsporogénesis simultánea y el depósito centrípeto de la esporodermis se han descrito previamente para Malvaceae. Las características de la intina son novedosos para la familia.

AbstractTurkish red pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) is an important tree species that grows widely in Türkiye. In this study, Box-Behnken experimental design was created and optimised for ultrasound assisted extraction of bioactive components of Turkish red pine waste bark. Extraction yield, total phenolic content (TPC), total concentrated tannin (TCT), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) were determined at experimental points. As a result of the optimisation process, optimum parameter values were found at 34.8 °C temperature, 6.5 min time and 116.3 W ultrasonic power. Under optimum conditions, the extraction efficiency was 13.16%, TPC 103.09 mg GAE/g, TCT 13.29 mg CE/g, FRAP 602.14 mg TEAC/g, and ABTS 624.51 mg TEAC/g activity results were obtained. The extracts obtained showed low in vitro toxicity against healthy cell lines (HEK-293, human embryonic kidney), proliferation of CaCo-2 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma) and MIA PaCa-2 (human pancreatic adenocarcinoma) cancer cells was significantly reduced. It was also determined that this extract has lower activity against Alzheimer's disease (AD)-associated AChE (acetylcholinesterase)-BChE (butyrylcholinesterase) than diabetes disease associated ɑ-glucosidase and ɑ-amylase. The extracts also showed significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Escherichia coli.
Le culte de sainte Agathe entre Catane et Constantinople
Authors: Nonveiller Elena 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis paper aims to examine some aspects of the history of the official cult of Saint Agatha in Sicily and Constantinople, starting with the Greco-Roman cults of Isis, and then focusing in particular on the unofficial or the initiatory women's festival, celebrated in Constantinople, attested by only one literary source from the 11th century AD. This source, consisting of a short philosophical treatise ascribed to Michael Psellos, informs us about some interesting aspects of the religious and social life of women in Constantinople in the mid-Byzantine era.
