Energy Transport in SiO2 Crystals: Luminescence Excitation Spectra of Stishovite and α-Quartz
Authors: Trukhin A. N. 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The migration of elementary electronic excitations was studied in a single crystal of stishovite and compared with migration in a crystal of α-quartz and polycrystalline stishovite powder. The research method is based on comparing the transfer of absorbed energy to luminescence centers, used as detectors of quasiparticles, and the near-surface nonradiative annihilation of electronic excitations. A sign of migration is the appearance of some minima in the photoluminescence (PLE) excitation spectrum in the region of maxima in the intrinsic absorption spectrum. The PLE spectrum of stishovite contains the first minimum at 9.8 eV, indicating the migration of electronic excitations and the existence of an intrinsic absorption band in stishovite at 9.8 eV. In α-quartz, the first minimum in the PLE spectrum is located at 10.5 eV and corresponds well to the intrinsic absorption band of the exciton.
Analysis of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Payload for Oil Spill Detection
Authors: Zavtkevics V. , Urbaha M. 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Operational monitoring of large sea aquatorium areas with the aim of detecting and controlling oil pollution is now carried out using various technological systems, such as satellite remote sensing, sea-going vessels, various aircraft and remotely piloted aircraft (RPA). Currently, the use of RPA for the fulfilment of monitoring tasks in the aquatorium is being intensively developed and can eliminate problems of remote sensing performed by satellites and piloted aircraft, such as short presence in the monitoring area, very long delay of information (up to 48 hours) and low quality of imagery. This paper presents mathematical modelling of RPA multi-sensor pay-loads for oil spill detection, monitoring and control. Information obtained from payload sensors is critical for increasing effectiveness of detection and monitoring of oil spills. Nowadays, many types of sensors are used for oil spill detection and monitoring. The most common sensors for detection of oil pollution are optical, multispectral, hyperspectral, thermal and laser fluorometers. Some oil pollution detection sensors have limitations, such as false alarm, only daytime operation, weather restrictions. Airborne remote sensors cannot provide all information required for detection of and response to oil spills, and water quality monitoring in the spill area. A model for selecting sensors for multi sensor payload that will make it possible to optimize the application of RPA for oil spill detection was developed. The RPA payload can be increased/reduced to the greatest possible extent with the help of different types of equipment at various parameters. The mathematical model of the integrated payload considers detection capability of sensors, weather conditions, sensor characteristics, and false alarm rate. The optimal multi-sensor payload will optimize the application of RPA for oil spill detection and monitoring.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Throughout the centuries, Riga has been the city with dynamic development. Its territory has unceasingly expanded, whereby previously unused territories have been urbanized. Managers of the city understood already at the end of 19th century that unified geodetic network had great importance in the development of the city. Since then, Riga’s local geodetic network has evolved with the city, several coordinate and height systems have been replaced, but the task has remained the same – to provide a flawless, homogeneous geodetic foundation for various surveying activities. In 2018, the development of the local geodetic network in several parts of the city was completed, whereby the problem arose – altitude values of surveyed terrain points determined by using the improved geodetic network did not coincide with altitude values determined using the GNSS method. Considering the above-mentioned problem, the objectives of this study were set: to plan and carry out control measurements of the improved local geodetic network in the vicinity of Grizinkalns, to provide analysis of the obtained results and recommendations for further development of a local geodetic network. The difference between the heights determined by the geometric levelling method and the heights determined by the GNSS method shall not exceed 2 mm. According to the GNSS method, using the quasi-geoid model LV’14 v2, the determined heights of the geodetic grid points differ from the given ones by 0.062 m on average. The differences are systematic. To overcome these differences, the quasi-geoid model needs to be refined.

The purpose of the study. To clarify the possibilities of using radiation research methods in the framework of complex diagnostics of local peritonitis for timely recognition and treatment of intra-abdominal abscesses and infiltrates.Materials and methods. The analysis of the results of a complex radiation examination in 61 patients with local peritonitis of various etiologies who were treated at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine was carried out. The complex of radiation diagnostics included ultrasound and X-ray examinations, computed tomography (CT). The studies were performed both initially at admission and in dynamics.Results. The diagnostic algorithm for local peritonitis is analyzed, three stages are identified with the determination of the method of choice on each of them. Ultrasound and X-ray examination methods are mainly used at the stage of primary diagnostics and for dynamic control. CT allows you to clarify the type, localization and volume of inflammatory changes, their relationship with the surrounding organs and structures. When analyzing the results of radiation diagnostics, it was determined the need to identify and evaluate the main signs of local peritonitis, both direct: the presence of voluminous formation of inflammatory genesis (infiltrate and/or abscess); and indirect: changes in the source organ of peritonitis; changes in structures adjacent to the infiltrate /abscess; the presence of reactive effusion into the thoracic and abdominal cavities.Conclusion. Comprehensive radiation diagnostics for local peritonitis makes it possible to obtain complete information about the nature of both inflammatory changes in local peritonitis and the causes of them. The obtained data of complex diagnostics help the surgeon to choose a rational treatment strategy for these patients, including minimally invasive. Diagnostic monitoring allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and carry out timely correction of tactics.

Objectives:
Liver disease is a serious public health problem. There are many causes of liver disease and the liver is a vital organ in the body, so when it is damaged, its function can be affected. Cochlospermum tinctorium is a plant commonly used by Central African populations to relieve liver-related ailments such as jaundice and hepatitis. This study aimed to assess the hepatoprotective activity of aqueous leafy stem extract of C. tinctorium against liver injury induced by subacute exposure of rats to carbon tetrachloride (CCl4).

Material and Methods:
Thirty rats were distributed into six groups including control (H2O), healthy control (H2O), positive control (silymarin 25 mg/kg), extract control (aqueous leafy stem extract 50 mg/kg), and tests (aqueous leafy stem extract 50 or 25 mg/kg). Liver injury was induced by CCl4 (0.5 mL/kg) on the 4th and 11th days of the treatment. Rats were sacrificed on the 15th day, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT) activity, and serum levels of total bilirubin, creatinine, and tissue oxidative stress markers (malondialdehyde, glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase) were evaluated. Histological examinations of the liver and kidney were performed. A phytochemical study of C. tinctorium aqueous leafy stem extract was done.

Results:
This study showed that C. tinctorium aqueous leafy stem extract (50 or 25 mg/kg) significantly reduced (P < 0.01) ALT (94.79 ± 14.99 U/L) and γ-GT (10.08 ± 5.40 U/L) activity, and decreased the serum total bilirubin level compared to control. The aqueous leafy stem extract significantly diminished (P < 0.01) tissue MDA level (2.67 ± 0.05 µmol/mg protein), increased glutathione level (347.08 ± 10.81 nmol/mg protein), catalase (131.03 ± 6.99 µmol/ min/mg protein), and SOD activity (86.0 ±1.50 U/mg). Liver microphotography showed hepatic parenchyma with almost no leukocyte infiltration in the portal and perisinusoidal spaces, and an important reduction of cell necrosis following treatment with the aqueous leafy stem extract compared to the control.

Conclusion:
These results demonstrate that the hepatoprotective activity of the aqueous leafy stem extract of C. tinctorium may be due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may, therefore, justify the use of this plant as a candidate for complementary study to proceed with the development of medicine against liver diseases.
Fearsome Horses: the nightmares that wrecked Lambton Quay
Authors: Humphris Adrian , Mew Geoff 
Published: August 2022

The 1970s saw an unprecedented wave of building demolition along the western side of Lambton Quay as well as in other parts of central Wellington. A 1972 survey carried out by the City Corporation identified buildings they determined to be at risk of collapse in a moderate earthquake, with "A" being the highest risk category. Those classified as "A" were then targeted for demolition. The survey followed a Chamber of Commerce discussion paper produced in November 1971 that was concerned with future regional development. As a result, many small buildings were replaced with fewer, much larger tower blocks. These tower blocks were built to maximise returns on investment according to the size of the footprint (with little or no regard for aesthetics). Although some were completed in the 1970s, others were not topped off until the 1980s.
This paper evaluates the reasons for the apparent sudden upsurge in awareness of "awesome forces," the publicity given to the survey, and the likely outcomes for building owners. It traces the building history of a varied selection of "at risk" commercial premises; a few of which have survived - at least partially in façade form - and some of the buildings that succeeded them. At the time there seems to have been little historical consideration or awareness of what was being lost, and strengthening options were seldom explored in depth. Hence many varied two- to five-storey buildings erected in late Victorian and early Edwardian times were irreversibly pulled down to be replaced by characterless, anonymous and overbearing tower blocks.
Virtual Reality in Festivals: A Systematic Literature Review and Implications for Consumer Research
Authors: Lee Daisy , Ng Peggy M.L. , Wut Tai Ming 
Published: August 2022

Technological advancements in virtual reality have influenced festivalgoers, performers, and festival organizers. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, organizers of cultural and tourism festivals have sought to deliver festivals online using virtual reality to provide an immersive experience from home. However, despite growing interest in virtual reality for festivals, there is no current systematic review to synthesize knowledge from academic papers within the festival context. This paper aims to provide a structured understanding of extant virtual reality research regarding festivals by using a systematic literature review. After a comprehensive review of extant literature from major databases, 19 relevant articles were extracted and synthesized according to the types, venues, roles, and objectives of the virtual reality applications. This study is the first systematic literature review to examine the current landscape of consumer research on virtual reality in festivals. Our results show that the limited numbers of extant literature concerning virtual reality in festivals indicates that this is an important yet significantly under-researched topic for future research. Current literature on virtual reality in festival contexts also lacks an in-depth understanding of consumer engagement and experiences. This paper recommends incorporating the application of theory and robust consumer research methods into future virtual festival research. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-06-05-016 Full Text: PDF

This study describes the effect of operating conditions such as weight ratio (H2O2/COD), the initial pH of waste and molar ratio fenton reagent (H2O2/Fe2+) to the degradation of waste alkylbenzene sulfonate (ABS). The degradation of ABS with the Electro Fenton process (E-Fenton) conducted in a laboratory scale batch reactor. The increasing doses of the weight ratio the production of hydroxil radicals will be increase and of course will increase the rate of organic degradation. Using a weight ratio that exceeds the theoretical calculations tend to decrease the degradation of ABS concentration. The weight ratio of 2,1 resulted in a decrease of ABS concentration, COD and BOD5 of 94,075%, 94,040%, 81,273%, respectively. Medium acidity (pH) is one of the most decisive factor of Electro-Fenton process, at a pH 3 yield degradation of ABS amounted 98,093%. ABS removal efficiency increased with the increase of ferrous ion dosage at fenton’s reagent molar ratio and reached highest of ABS concentration, COD and BOD5 of 99,05%, 96,64%, and 91,18%, respectively, for the operating time for 60 minutes. A kinetic study was carried out using first order reaction kinetics model. Temperature changes that occur when the research generates activation energy of 80,811 J/K.mol through the Arrhenius equation.

Authors: Kovácsné Madar Á. , Takácsné Hájos M. 
Published: August 2022

Among the leafy vegetables, lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is the most widely grown species in the world. Wide ranges of physical properties of the products are used to assess the degree of maturity. In this study, different lettuce varieties were grown under an unheated plastic tunnel in springtime. We evaluated the agronomic properties of different lettuce varieties, evaluated the condition of the plants, and determined the bioactive substances. Larger head weight can be achieved by the ‘King of May’ butterhead (259.31 g) and ‘Great Lakes 659’crisphead (220.40 g) genotypes. A very strong correlation (r = 0.995) was observed between the lettuce head index, and leaf index and both had a strong positive correlation (r = 0.828 and 0.760) with NDVI. The highest SPAD values were measured for cos lettuce ‘Romaine lettuce’ (44.01) and iceberg lettuce ‘Great Lakes 659’ (42.71). However, these genotypes showed the highest (9.52%; 8.74%) dry matter content, too. The red leaf variety 'Lollo Rosso' had the highest total polyphenol content (181.53 GAE/100 g FW). Among the evaluated properties, iceberg lettuce showed favorable morphology, plant condition, and good dry matter content. In addition, between the loose-leaf lettuces, the red leaf lollo type was outstanding with bioactive content.
