Abstract
Temporary or stationary wetlands (Ponds) are bodies of shallow water that experience periodic droughts and an irregular flood cycle throughout the year. Although these wetlands are widely distributed in the Colombian territory, there have been few studies on their ecology. The aim of this research is to determine the effects of hydroperiod on the functional diversity of aquatic and semiaquatic macroinvertebrates in five temporary ponds in the department of Magdalena (Colombia). The samplings were performed during the hydroperiods of filling and drying phase. Samples were collected from all the microhabitats present (coastal, sediment, and lacustrine). Correlation analyses were performed between the traits and sites in the two hydroperiods, and a multidimensional and comparative analysis of functional diversity was performed, where indices of distance, richness, and functional dispersion were calculated in each hydroperiod. Statistical differences in functional replacement were found for only one of the ponds; however, the other ponds showed a similar trend. These results fit the functional turnover ecological hypothesis in that the response of the aquatic and semiaquatic macroinvertebrate communities was associated with the hydroperiod of the ponds based on the habitat “templet” theory.

Abstract
Background: There has been an increase in the consumption of fast food as well as overweight/obesity in recent decades.
Methods: The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of fast food consumption (FFC), soft drink consumption (SDC) and to evaluate its association with abdominal and general obesity. We conducted an analysis of cross-sectional study by selecting 724 students randomly from 2 largest universities in Zahedan, southeast of Iran, who were studying medical and basic sciences in 2018. Data collection through filling out an modified version of NELSON’s fast food questionnaire and measurement of anthropometric indices, such as waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist circumference (WC) and Body Mass Index (BMI) was conducted. Statistical analysis were conducted using chi-square, kruskal wallis tests and multivariate logistic regressions.
Results: According to our results, 85.5% (83.6% of girls and 87.8% of boys) had at least one type of fast food consumed in the recent month including sandwich 46.0%, pizza 17.0%, and fried potatoe 9%. FFC was related to WHtR (OR: 3.4, 95 CI: 1.5, 8.0) as abdominal obesity and was associated to WC (p< 0.05 ) as central obesity, but was not related and associated to BMI (OR: 1.8, 95% CI: 0.9, 3.0) as general obesity. Moreover, a significant relationship was observed between obesity and SDC (OR: 1.5, 95% CI: 1.1, 2.3).
Conclusion: consumption of fast foods was associated to central obesity based on WC and abdominal obesity based on WHtR, but did not associated to general obesity based on BMI. Also, consumption of soft drinks was associated to central obesity.

Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to clarify the correlation between the number of AMs and prognosis and to examine the gene expression of AMs in lung squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC).
Methods: We reviewed 124 stage I lung SqCC cases in our hospital and 139 stage I lung SqCC cases in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort in this study. We counted the number of AMs in the peritumoral lung field (P-AMs), and in the lung field distant from the tumor (D-AMs). Moreover, we performed a novel ex vivo bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) analysis to select AMs from surgically resected lung SqCC cases and examined the expression of IL10, CCL2, IL6, TGFβ, and TNFα (n=3).
Results: Patients with high P-AMs had significantly shorter overall survival (OS) (p<0.01); however, patients with high D-AMs did not have significantly shorter OS. Moreover, in TCGA cohort, patients with high P-AMs had a significantly shorter OS (p<0.01). In multivariate analysis, a higher number of P-AMs was an independent poor prognostic factor (p=0.02). Ex vivoBALF analysis revealed that AMs collected from the tumor vicinity showed higher expression of IL10 and CCL2 than AMs from distant lung fields in all 3 cases (IL-10: 2.2, 3.0, and 10.0-fold; CCL-2: 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2-fold). Moreover, addition of recombinant CCL2 significantly increased the proliferation of RERF-LC-AI, a lung SqCC cell line.
Conclusion: The current results indicated the prognostic impact of the number of peritumoral AMs and suggested the importance of peritumoral tumor microenvironment in lung SqCC progression.
A new methodology in constructing no-reference focus quality assessment metrics
Authors: Jie Song , Mengjun Liu 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This paper proposed a new methodology which converts a full-reference focus quality assessment metric into a no-reference one. The methodology consists of three hypotheses which describe the relationship in focus quality between the original image and its variants. Using the proposed methodology, two no-reference metrics were constructed. The first used Brenner Gradient and the second used a full-reference metric proposed by ourselves. Evaluation was conducted on a public dataset and our own proposed dataset. Comparing with other no-reference metrics, our second one exhibited best performance on both datasets, with calculation time comparable to some fastest metrics considered.
High precision machining of a displacement sensor for helicoidal motions
Authors: ELRAWASHDEH Zeina , REVEL Philippe , PRELLE Christine , LAMARQUE Frédéric 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This research study presents the design and the high precision manufacture procedure of a fiber-optic displacement sensor. It is composed of two fiber-optic probes associated with a structure of a cones’ grating. The sensor is characterized by its ability to measure the linear displacement for an axis performing a helicoidal motion. This motion has been demonstrated on a high precision lathe; where the spindle provided the rotational motion, associated to a translational motion on the linear stage. This allowed to obtain the two simultaneous motions. The displacement of the translational stage is measured by the sensor in real time.
Firstly, a highly precise geometric model of the reflector part for the sensor was developed. This model provided a specific geometry for the cones-assembled grating, which has been precisely manufactured. The geometric parameters and the surface characteristics of each step in the fabricated grating were both identified in situ on the lathe. The agreement between simulation and experimental results is excellent. The performances of the fiber-optic displacement sensor were identified in-situ on the lathe. The analysis of the voltage output signals from the two fiber-optic probes is used to measure the grating displacement. The unbalanced rotation due to non-centered axes was also characterized. The sensor provided a micrometric resolution, on a measurement range of more than one centimeter.

ПЛОТИН О РОДАХ СУЩЕГО
Authors: Н.П. Волкова 
Published: November 2022

Посредством анализа первых трех трактатов шестой «Эннеады» рассматривается учение Плотина о родах сущего, то есть о категориях. Особое внимание уделяется критике аристотелевской категории сущности. Показано, что не только Порфирий, но и сам Плотин отождествляли категории с родами сущего, опираясь на традицию такого отождествления, имевшую место в платонизме и берущую свое начало в «Софисте». Следуя плотиновской постановке вопроса о возможности мыслить в рамках той или иной системы категорий, рассмотрение начинается с платоновских категорий, то есть «величайших родов» «Софиста», и их интерпретации, предложенной Плотином. Вторая часть работы посвящена Аристотелю: проблеме предмета первой философии как «строгой науки» и системе категорий. Она представляет собой введение к рассмотрению критики категории сущности, высказанной Плотином. И, наконец, в последней, третьей части, обсуждается критика Плотином сущности как рода, который включает в себя материю, форму и составное.
Through the analysis of the first three treatises from the sixth Ennead, Plotinus’ doctrine of the genera of being, that is, categories, is examined. Special attention is paid to the criticism of the Aristotle’s category of substance. It is demonstrated that not only Porphyry, but Plotinus as well identified categories with the genera of being, relying on Platonic tradition of such identification originated in Plato’s “Sophist”. Following Plotinus’ belief of the possibility to think by using a certain set of categories, the analysis begins from Plato’s categories proposed in the Sophist and their interpretation by Plotinus. The next section of the article discusses Aristotle’s view on the subject of the first philosophy as a proper science and his system of categories. This discussion passes to the examination of Plotinus’ criticism of the categories. And, finally, in the last part of the article, Plotinus’ criticism of substance as a kind of being, which includes matter, form and the compound, is under consideration.
ОБРАЗ ИНОЗЕМЦЕВ-ХРИСТИАН В «ОБОЗРЕНИИ ИСТОРИЙ» ИОАННА СКИЛИЦЫ И «ИСТОРИИ» МИХАИЛА АТТАЛИАТА
Authors: М.И. Дробышев 
Published: November 2022

Статья посвящена обзору упоминаний иноземцев-христиан в двух византийских сочинениях ΧΙ века — «Обозрении историй» Иоанна Скилицы и «Истории» Михаила Атталиата. Показано, что в сочинении Иоанна Скилицы отсутствуют какие-то подробные характеристики представителей этих народов; в сочинении Михаила Атталиата, напротив, присутствуют относительно подробные описания некоторых иноземцев-христиан на службе у византийских императоров. Более того, Атталиат иногда транслирует свои личные впечатления об отдельных личностях, например, Русселе де Бейле. Отмечается, что рассматриваемые две выборки известий об иноземцах-христианах в Византии позволяют лучше понять механизмы имагологических моделей византийских интеллектуалов XI в.
The article gives a review of different references about foreigners of Christian faith in the Byzantine chronicles of the 11th century — “A Synopsis of Byzantine History” by John Skylitzes and “The History” of Michael Attaleiates. John Skylitzes lacked any detailed characteristics of persons of these peoples. On the contrary, in Michael Attaleiates’ text there were relatively detailed descriptions of some foreign Christians, who served Byzantine imperators. Moreover, Michael Attaleiates sometimes used personal impressions of some foreigners, for example, Roussell de Bailleul. These two sets of accounts about foreign Christians in Byzantium allow us to understand better the mechanisms of imagological models of Byzantine intellectuals of the 11th century.
CITY SPACES AND HOUSE SPACES IN DRACONTIUS’ “ORESTIS TRAGOEDIA”
Authors: Пичугина В.К. , Можайский А.Ю. 
Published: November 2022

«Трагедия Ореста» является одним из сочинений Драконция — поэта второй половины V в., обращавшегося как к языческой, так и христианской тематике. Это сочинение традиционно рассматривается как не слишком талантливый синтез существовавших версий трагедий об Оресте с добавлением стилистических украшений из сочинений Овидия, Лукана, Стация, Ювенала, Вергилия и других авторов. Нами будет обосновано то, что Драконций не только объединяет в одном сочинении разные мифологические сюжеты об Оресте и его взрослении, но и выделяет, сопоставляет, а часто и противопоставляет пространства города и пространства дома, где имеют место ключевые трагические события. Тем самым, он задает особую сетку пространственных координат, которые до сих пор не попали в спектр исследовательского внимания. Главный герой у Драконция возвращается в дом, где произошло убийство его отца Агамемнона. Совершив серию преступлений, Орест, с одной стороны, становится частью трагической линии дома Атрея, а с другой — не вписывается в существующие в городе представления о том, кого можно назвать наделенным властью представителем этого дома. Драконций выстраивает сюжетную линию таким образом, что его Орест свободно перемещаются между Микенами, Афинами и Тавридой. Это является не только драматическим приемом, указывающим на его мечущуюся натуру, но и своеобразным ответом, который Драконций дает на вопрос: в чем именно заключается трагедия Ореста?
“Orestis Tragoedia” is one of the works of Dracontius, a poet of the second half of the 5th century, who addressed both pagan and Christian themes. This work is traditionally regarded as a not too talented synthesis of the existing versions of the tragedies about Orestes with the addition of stylistic embellishments from the works of Ovid, Lucan, Statius, Juvenal, Virgil and other authors. In this work, Dracontius not only combines different mythological stories about Orestes and his growing up, but also highlights, compares, and often contrasts the city spaces and the house spaces, where the key events of the tragedy take place. Thus, it sets a special grid of spatial coordinates, which have not yet attracted the attention of researchers. Dracontius’ protagonist returns to the house where his father Agamemnon was murdered. Having committed a series of crimes, on the one hand, Orestes becomes part of the tragic line of the house of Atreus, and on the other hand, he does not fit into the existing ideas in the city about who can be called an empowered representative of this house. Dracontiusbuilds the storyline in such a way that his Orestes move freely between Mycenae, Athens and Tauris. This is not only a dramatic device that indicates his rushing nature, but also a kind of answer that Dracontiusgives to the question: what exactly is the tragedy of Orestes?
Coordinate data in medieval descriptive geographical writings
Authors: Коновалова И.Г. 
Published: November 2022

В статье дается анализ одного из приемов характеристики земного пространства в средневековых географических сочинениях, когда в состав описания тех или иных объектов вводятся указания на их географические координаты. Сочетание описательной и астрономической информации рассматривается на материале географических сочинений арабских ученых Ибн Са‘ида ал-Магриби (вторая половина XIII в.) и Абу-л-Фиды (первая треть XIV в.), которые при составлении собственных трудов использовали трактат крупнейшего географа арабского средневековья ал-Идриси (XII в.). Географические координаты, приводимые Ибн Са‘идом и Абу ал-Фидой, рассматриваются в историографии как «дополнение» этих авторов к текстовой информации ал-Идриси, своего рода усовершенствование, позволившее географам XIII–XIV вв. сделать шаг вперед по сравнению с трудом ал-Идриси. В статье делается вывод о том, что применение Ибн Са‘идом и Абу-л-Фидой географических координат для локализации тех или иных объектов не может рассматриваться как простое дополнение к делению ойкумены на климаты и секции, воспринятому им от ал-Идриси, а соединение астрономических и описательных данных в сочинениях авторов XIII–XIV вв. следует считать чисто механическим
The article provides an analysis of one of the methods of characterizing the terrestrial space in medieval geographical writings, when indications of their geographical coordinates are introduced into the description of certain objects. The combination of descriptive and astronomical information is considered on the basis of the geographical works of the Arab scientists Ibn Sa‘īd al-Maghribī (the second half of the 13th century) and Abū al-Fidā’ (the first third of the 14th century), who, when compiling their own works, used the treatise of the greatest medieval Arab geographer al-Idrīsī (12th century). The geographical coordinates given by Ibn Sa‘īd and Abū al-Fidā’ are considered in historiography as an addition of these authors to the textual information of al-Idrīsī, a kind of improvement that allowed geographers of the 13th – 14th centuries to take a step forward compared to the work of al-Idrīsī. The article concludes that the use of geographical coordinates by Ibn Sa‘īd and Abū al-Fidā’ for the localization of certain objects cannot be considered as a simple addition to the division of the ecumene into climates and sections, which they adopted from al-Idrīsī, but the connection astronomical and descriptive data in the writings of authors of the 13th – 14th centuries should be considered purely mechanical.

A simulation–optimization framework for reducing thermal pollution downstream of reservoirs
Authors: Sedighkia Mahdi , Datta Bithin , Razavi Saman 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Thermal pollution is an environmental impact of large dams altering the natural temperature regime of downstream river ecosystems. The present study proposes a simulation–optimization framework to reduce thermal pollution downstream from reservoirs and tests it on a real-world case study. This framework attempts to simultaneously minimize the environmental impacts as well as losses to reservoir objectives for water supply. A hybrid machine-learning model is applied to simulate water temperature downstream of the reservoir under various operation scenarios. This model is shown to be robust and achieves acceptable predictive accuracy. The results of simulation–optimization indicate that the reservoir could be operated in such a way that the natural temperature regime is reasonably preserved to protect downstream habitats. Doing so, however, would result in significant trade-offs for reservoir storage and water supply objectives. Such trade-offs can undermine the benefits of reservoirs and need to be carefully considered in reservoir design and operation.
The effect of land-use type and climatic conditions on heavy metal pollutants in urban runoff in a semi-arid region
Authors: Soltaninia Shahrokh , Taghavi Lobat , Hosseini Seyed Abbas , Motamedvaziri Baharak , Eslamian Saeid 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This study examined the effects of land-use changes on heavy metal pollution in runoff in a catchment of Tehran, Iran. Urban runoff samples were collected from six stations, including five various land uses and mixed land uses. The event mean concentration (EMC) was applied to determine heavy metals, including mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), and copper (Cu), in five land uses. Sampling was done during six events with different antecedent dry days (ADDs) during 2019–2020. The result revealed higher heavy metal concentrations in runoff in the industrial land use compared to other land-use types in the catchment. The calculated EMC rates were as follows: EMC Zn &gt; EMC Pb &gt; EMC Cu &gt; EM As &gt; EMC Hg &gt; EMC Cd. This study also found that the maximum and minimum EMCs of heavy metals were associated with rainfall events with 115 and 1 dry days, respectively. In comparison to other heavy metals, mercury and arsenic were at a higher level in runoff as determined by EMC data analysis. In order to minimize the risk of heavy metal contamination of runoff, the relocation of industrial land uses from urban environments to non-urban areas is recommended.

Effects of Trunk Functional Capacity on the Control of Angular Momentum During Manual Wheelchair Braking
Authors: Garner Tyler Douglas , Ricard Mark Donald 
Published: November 2022

Background:
Manual wheelchair braking induces an upper body angular impulse which must be controlled by joint moments to prevent a forward fall.

Objective:
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of trunk functional capacity (low, high) on the rate of change in sagittal plane upper body angular momentum during manual wheelchair braking.

Methods:
Eight wheelchair users (4 low function, 4 high function) completed 10 trials of abrupt wheelchair braking. Trunk segment angles and abdominal joint angles, and normalized upper-body angular impulses were computed for each trial. Linear mixed effects models with initial velocity as a covariate were used to determine differences between groups.

Results:
The low function group had a higher angular impulse than the high function group with a mean difference (MD) ± SE of 1.59 ± 0.65 N∙m∙s/kg/m2, with a 95% CI 0.287 to 2.89, p = 0.018. The low function group also had a higher trunk segment extension angle, MD = –13.98 degrees, 95% CI: –26.27 to –1.69, p = .027. The low function group employed a greater trunk segment range of motion during braking when compared to the high function group, MD = 12.14 degrees, 95% CI: –24.48 to 0.21, p = 0.054. Lower trunk functional capacity wheelchair users had a higher fall risk during braking.

Conclusion:
Wheelchair users with less trunk function may be at increased risk of suffering a fall when bringing their wheelchair to an abrupt stop due to an impaired ability to arrest angular momentum.
