Film
Authors: Baioun Abeer , Kellawi Hassan 
Published: May 2022

Aim:
Construction of electrochromic device via Prussian yellow nanofilm on glass electrode.

Background:
Energy conservation is one of the primary research topics nowadays. Electrochromic
devices with low power consumption and short stable switching periods are well suited to energyefficient
applications, e.g., smart windows, car mirrors, displays, and electronic papers.

Objective:
Preparation of electrochromic Prussian yellow nanofilm on ITO glass by a simple chemical
facile method and study of its electrochromic features.

Methods:
Prussian yellow nanofilm (iron (III) hexacyanoferrate (III)), was prepared by immersing the
substrate in a solution of ferric nitrate and Potassium hexacyanoferrate. Prussian yellow nanofilm is
characterized by ultraviolet-visible (Uv-Vis) spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical
impedance spectroscopy. Prussian yellow nanofilm shows an intense yellow color when it is in a pristine
state.

Results:
Resultant Prussian yellow nanofilm underwent reversible redox reactions accompanied by
color changes from Prussian yellow to Prussian green to further Prussian blue, then to Prussian white.
The transmittance of Prussian yellow nanofilm varies from 21% for colored state at 450nm to 81 %
(for fully bleached) at 0.9V. The contrast ratio and ratio of optical density to charge density were examined
and the coloration efficiency was calculated to be 299.6 cm2C-1.

Conclusion:
Prussian yellow can be very simply prepared and used as an efficient, fast switching electrochromic
device with high color contrast.
Análisis morfométrico de cinco especies del complejo Gracilaria mammillaris (Gracilariaceae, Rhodophyta) en el Atlántico mexicano
Authors: Vilchis Martha Isabel , Dreckmann Kurt M. , Sentíes Abel 
Published: May 2022

Antecedentes y Objetivos: El complejo Gracilaria mammillaris es un conjunto de especies de algas rojas cuya identificación resulta complicada debido al reducido número de caracteres morfológicos que las delimitan. Esta problemática se acentúa cuando se encuentran distribuidas en una misma región. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar, mediante análisis morfométricos, la existencia de caracteres que permitan la delimitación de cinco especies del complejo Gracilaria mammillaris en el Atlántico mexicano.
Métodos: Veinticuatro caracteres morfométricos de cinco especies del complejo Gracilaria mammillaris fueron sometidos a un análisis de componentes principales para evaluar la existencia de un patrón de variación morfológica. Los componentes resultantes fueron analizados mediante un NP-MANOVA. Se calculó y graficó la media aritmética y los intervalos de confianza para los caracteres con un mayor peso en la discriminación. Se realizó un análisis de agrupamiento UPGMA para sustentar los resultados anteriores.
Resultados clave: Los análisis mostraron que la única especie del complejo que se segregó fue Gracilaria curtissiae, el resto no mostraron diferencias significativas entre ellas. En promedio, el largo y ancho de las células corticales de la porción media del talo fueron más grandes en G. curtissiae que en las otras; y el largo y ancho de las células medulares en la porción media del talo resultaron ser en promedio más pequeñas en G. curtissiae que en los demás miembros del complejo. El análisis de agrupamiento sustentó los resultados anteriores.
Conclusión: Un proceso de especiación en curso podría ser la respuesta a que las propiedades morfológicas de cuatro de las cinco especies estudiadas aún no sean distinguibles, pero sí las filogenéticas. Análisis futuros de reloj molecular y filogeográficos permitirán entender mejor el estado de divergencia en el que se encuentran estos taxones.

Published: May 2022

Background
Cancer and its treatment can adversely affect male fertility. Although sperm banking is an effective fertility preservation method, there is an unmet need for information and support surrounding these issues.

Objective
This usability study evaluates a mobile health app providing male patients with cancer with credible information about the impact of cancer and its treatment on fertility and fertility preservation.

Methods
Participants were recruited by a market research firm. Eligibility criteria were men who were 18-45 years of age, identified as male, diagnosed with new or recurring cancer within 1 year, not in fertility treatment, able to read and write in English or French, and had internet access. App usage was tracked for 2 weeks. After app use, participants provided qualitative feedback about their experiences using the app as well as quantitative data regarding their sperm banking decisions, perceived change in fertility knowledge, evaluation of the app’s information on the Information Assessment Method, and the app’s quality on the user version of the Mobile App Rating Scale.

Results
The sample included 40 men aged 27-45 years. Approximately 68% (27/40) indicated that no one had previously spoken to them about the impact of cancer on fertility, and 85% (34/40) had not received information on fertility preservation. Approximately 83% (33/40) found the app’s information relevant, and 85% (34/40) said that it increased their fertility knowledge. Approximately 23% (9/40) made a decision about sperm banking after using the app. Participants rated the app’s quality highly, with mean scores (out of 5) of 4.14 for information, 4.06 for functionality, 3.84 for aesthetics, and 3.63 for engagement.

Conclusions
The app proved to be useful for male patients with cancer, suggesting that mobile health resources could be beneficial to incorporate into clinical care to enable shared decision-making about fertility.
Key to the Atlantic Gates of the Arctic

Published: May 2022

We consider the decomposition of water temperature fields into the Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOFs), also known as Principal Components (PCs). We use the GREP data (Global Reanalysis Ensemble Product) in this study and we examine water temperature at the horizon of 457 m for the period 1993–2019 in the area limited to 50°–80°N, 50°W–20°E. It is shown that the first two Principal Components of decomposition (PC1 and PC2) are responsible for 48% of the total variance, and all subsequent ones are smaller by an order of magnitude. The time series of PC1 and PC2 are further considered as indicators responsible for the transfer of Atlantic heat to the Arctic. Transport and heat fluxes have been calculated through the cross-section 64.5°N, which connects Iceland with Scandinavia. It is shown that PC1 characterizes transport through the cross-section, and PC2 is responsible for heat fluxes. The analysis of the spatial distribution of PC1 and PC2 loadings allowed us to introduce three new NAT, NAHT1, and NAHT2 indices determined by water temperature anomalies. The NAT index is responsible for the transport of Atlantic waters to the Arctic, and two identical indices NAT1 and NAT2 characterize the corresponding heat transfer by these waters. The time series responsible for heat transfer to the Arctic [https://doi.org/10.2205/2022ES000792-data] in text format are available at the website of Earth Science Data Base (ESDB) repository [http://esdb.wdcb.ru/] located in Geophysical Center RAS.

Deformability and self-adaptability are important for soft robots in
order to deal with uncertain and varying situations and environments
during movement and navigation. Droplet-based robots are great
candidates to travel inside narrow and constrained spaces without
damaging the interfaces due to their extreme deformability and liquid
nature, which enables smooth contact between robots and target spaces.
Here, we propose magnetic liquid metal droplet robots, comprising liquid
metal and carbonyl iron, that can perform reversible telescopic
deformation, bending, and on-demand locomotion. The magnetic liquid
metal-based robots can perform on demand and reversible coalescence and
splitting by intricately applying magnetic fields. Importantly, the
liquid metal robot can perform phase transition to fix the desired shape
after the programmable shape encoding. The liquid metal-based soft
robots can serve as dynamic and recyclable switches for complex
circuits, and are capable of repairing damaged sections of microcircuits
by remote actuation, controllable coalescence, and on-demand circuit
welding. The technology provides a new application scenario of
droplet-based soft robots for on-demand circuit welding and transient
recyclable electronics.

Authors: Loguercio AD , Vargas LJC , Favoreto MW , Andrade HF , Borges CP F , Dávila-Sánchez A , Reis A , Mora CP 
Published: May 2022

SUMMARY
Purpose: This study evaluated hydrogen peroxide (HP) diffusion within the pulp chamber, as well as color change and the surface morphology of teeth subjected to various microabrasion (MA) protocols associated or not with in-office (IO) bleaching. Methods: Forty sound premolars were randomly divided into the following four groups (n=10): no treatment (NC); IO bleaching only; IO immediately after MA (IMA), and IO seven days after MA (7MA). After treatments, the HP concentration (μg/mL) within the pulp chamber was determined using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry. The color change (ΔE*) was evaluated using the digital spectrophotometer before and 1 week after bleaching. The surface morphology was evaluated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Data from each test were submitted to one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests (α=0.05). Results: All experimental groups exhibited higher HP concentrations compared to the NC group (p&lt;0.00001). However, higher amounts of HP were observed for the IMA group compared to the IO and 7MA groups (p&lt;0.00001). No significant difference in color change was observed among the groups (p&lt;0.001). Pronounced grooves in enamel were found in the IMA and 7MA groups. However, enamel erosion areas were observed only in the 7MA group. Conclusions: The association between MA and IO bleaching could significantly affect the amount of HP inside the pulp chamber. Therefore, it is highly recommended to wait for 1 week after MA procedures before performing IO bleaching.

Abstract
Current guidelines for the use of systemic antimicrobials for the treatment of superficial bacterial folliculitis in dogs include the recommendation that the disease be treated for a minimum of 3 weeks and for at least 1 week beyond clinical resolution. With increasing antimicrobial resistance being noted for bacteria involved in this condition, as well as the increased use of evidence-based medicine, this dogma needs to be reevaluated.

The results of the study of the hydrological, hydrochemical and hydrobiological state of Kondopoga Bay of Lake Onega affected by commercial trout pond farming (production rate is 5540 t/year in 7 nursery ponds) are reported. The hydrological indices of Kondopoga Bay of Lake Onega (area (243 km2, average depth 21 m, maximum depth 82 m, arbitrary water exchange 0.45, etc.) meet trout pond farming requirements. Its hydrochemical indices (percentages of oxygen, nutrients, suspended particles, etc,) show that the bay is of mesotrophic type, in which water quality meets the hydrochemical composition and maximum allowable concentration (MAC) requirements for trout production. The development level of quantitative zooplankton shows that the water masses in the water zone studied are oligotrophic. The water is characterized as b-mesosaprobic, based on its saprobity index of 1.79-1.81, which is consistent with quality class 3 (mildly polluted water). The bay corresponds to an oligo-mesotrophic type on a nutrient content scale, as indicated by the development and species composition of benthic fauna, and a mesosaprobic type, as indicated by the saprobity index (Pantle–Bukk–3.05). The nutrient load exerted by the trout farm is estimated and the scope of trout farming in the bay is recalculated. It is noted that the long-term management of fish farms, which produce great amounts of trout, requires monitoring of the bay once in three years.

Published: May 2022

On the basis of biotesting using test cultures of oats (Avena sativa L.) and peas (Pisum sativum L.), an integral assessment of the anthropogenic impact on the soil at different distances from the source of pollution was carried out. The aim is to characterize the phytotoxicity of soils of the agricultural landscape with an intensive level of aerotechnogenic load in Karelia. The object of the study was peat soils on fallow reclaimed agricultural lands in the zone of influence of industrial mining production of crushed stone from gabbro-diabases. In the course of research, it was found that at a very high level of average daily dust load (100 m – 2101.9 mg/(m2* day.); 200 – 1787,4; 300 – 1187,1 mg / (m2 * day)) there is a transformation of soil properties of the drained agricultural landscape near the mining quarry. The high content of nutrients, the slightly acidic reaction of the soil solution with a moderately dangerous total level of soil contamination caused the stimulation of the growth of test crops during biotesting (peas - by 58% and oats - by 41%). Inhibition of the development of seedlings for the studied samples is weakly expressed. As we move away from the quarry, despite a statistically significant decrease in the dust mass, the spatial gradient of changes in the analyzed indicators of peas and oats in the sample areas was not detected, which confirms the previously identified, the same level of aerotechnogenic impact on the soil cover.

Élaboration d’une typologie élémentaire des genres écrits professionnels à des fins didactiques
Authors: Pallanti Luca 
Published: May 2022

En s’appuyant sur le domaine épistémique des littéracies professionnelles, l’étude vise la construction d’une typologie élémentaire des genres écrits professionnels à des fins d’enseignement. L’enjeu consiste à catégoriser 135 textes authentiques ayant circulé dans trois entreprises dont l’activité s’inscrit dans certaines filières du secteur industriel Production. Dans une perspective descendante qui part des pratiques langagières des acteurs professionnels pour explorer enfin les phénomènes textuels, on vise l’élaboration d’une typologie des genres écrits professionnels selon des critères praxéologiques, pragmatiques et compositionnels. Quatre genres écrits majeurs ont été identifiés, à savoir le rapport, le compte rendu, la conversation écrite professionnelle et la note de cadrage. Une fois les propriétés linguistiques de ces genres analysées, la typologie a fait l’objet d’une transposition didactique. L’étude fournit également les objectifs d’apprentissage et les contenus d’enseignement prioritaires pour concevoir des formations à l’écrit à destination d’étudiants en difficulté avec l’écriture dans les filières universitaires technologiques.
Behaving Like Soldiers

Published: May 2022

Training soldiers through virtual reality simulations has many benefits, two of which are reduced cost to conduct training operations and the ability to repeatedly perform activities that are not feasible in real life. The use of automated agents in place of human players or instructors has reduced cost. The sophistication of such agents can range from highly scripted scenarios designed to teach a specific concept to advanced artificially intelligent behaviors that react realistically to a wider range of in-game activities. Repeatability with realistic variation in the automated courses of action (COAs) is a primary objective, but often this comes at the cost of consistency to the doctrine (e.g., “what might I expect that support squad do in this case?”) and explainability of behaviors during after action review (e.g., “why did the enemy do that in this situation?”).

This paper describes early progress to develop advanced automated forces that are informed by a given corpus of doctrine. They anticipate future states with uncertainty to generate diverse COAs that guide higher level behaviors of nonplayer characters in a simulation, and they may be queried to explain behaviors at various points of the simulation. We are working with the US Army Combat Capabilities Command Soldier Center (CCDC-SC) to develop this technology for future integration into advanced virtual training systems.
Передумови якісної реалізації тактичної підготовки футболістів 11–12 років
Authors: Наконечний Роман , Хіменес Христина 
Published: May 2022

Анотація. Результативність виступів футболістів у змаганнях закономірно залежить від рівня їхньої підготовленості, тому формування тактичної підготовленості без сумніву визначає ефективність виконання поставлених перед ними завдань у межах змагальної діяльності. Для того щоб цілеспрямовано впливати на тактичну підготовленість юних футболістів, необхідно, щоб вони демонстрували достатній рівень розвитку фізичних якостей та інтелектуальних здібностей, зокрема, психофізіологічних властивостей та психічних процесів, що створить належні передумови для ефективної реалізації тактичної підготовки. Мета. Визначити психофізіологічні властивості та психічні процеси футболістів 11-12 років. Методи. Аналіз науково-методичної літератури, тестування, методи математичної статистики. Результати. Для футболістів 12 років характерна незначна перевага у всіх пройдених тестуваннях порівняно з 11-річними. Статистично значущі відмінності показників психофізіологічних властивостей та психічних процесів обстежуваних обох груп було виявлено лише для трьох обраних методик (реакція вибору – p ≤ 0,01, оцінювання уваги – p ≤ 0,01 та тест «Трійка» – p ≤ 0,001) на користь старших футболістів. Іспитовані в обох групах, незалежно від віку, продемонстрували високий рівень інтелекту, прояву психофізіологічних та психічних процесів. На основі цього доцільно стверджувати про наявність обґрунтованих передумов для початку реалізації цілеспрямованого процесу тактичної підготовки із футболістами 11- та 12-річного віку.
Ключові слова: футболісти 11-12 років, психофізіологічні властивості, психічні процеси, тактична підготовка, підготовленість.
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Erectile Dysfunction: A study on risk factors and their correlation to serum testosterone level.
Authors: Abdul Jalal Muhammed Jasim , John Sheena 
Published: May 2022

Background
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the major cause of erectile dysfunction (ED). Testosterone regulates nearly every component of ED and this subnormal testosterone concentration con tribute to ED.
The objective of our work was to study the age of the patient, duration of diabetes mellitus, body mass index (BMI), glycosylated haemoglobin (hbA1c) and urinary albumin creatinine ratio (uACR) in type 2 diabetic male patients as etiology for ED and their relation to the serum testosterone level.
Methodology
We studied 100 male type two diabetic patients selected from the outpatient department of the Family Medicine department in Olive Healthcare. We divided our patients into two groups. Group A: 50 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with ED and Group B: 50 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without ED. We assessed their history with special focus on the age of the patient, disease duration and lab investigations. The patients answered the five item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire.
Results
Total serum testosterone was significantly lower in type 2 diabetic male patients with ED compared to those without ED. HbA1c, diabetes duration and uACR were independently negatively correlated with testosterone level.
Conclusion
The duration of diabetes, glycemic control and uACR contributed to ED in type 2 diabetics and they are independently and negatively correlated with total serum testosterone level.
