Emission of Volatile Organic Compounds from Land-Applied Beef Cattle Manure as Affected by Application Method, Diet, and Soil Water Condition
Authors: Woodbury Bryan L. , Gilley John E. , Parker David B. , Marx David B. 
Published: January 2022

HighlightsThe largest contributors to odor activity values (OAV) were heptanoic acid (23.5%), hexanoic acid (17.6%), indole (14.7%), and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) (9.50%).Measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOC) were greater from plots where manure was surface-applied than from plots with incorporated manure.Emissions of DMDS and dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) (0.318 and 0.074 µg m-2 min-1, respectively) were greater for plots with manure from beef cattle fed a diet containing 30% wet distillers grains with solubles (WDGS).Rainfall immediately after manure application influenced the types and amounts of VOC that were emitted.Abstract. Land application of beef cattle manure may result in the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC). This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of diet, land application method, soil water condition, and time since manure application on VOC emissions. Manure was collected from feedlot pens where cattle were fed diets containing 0%, 10%, or 30% wet distillers grains with solubles (WDGS). The effects of manure application method (surface-applied or incorporated) and soil water condition (saturated or wet) on VOC emissions were measured over a 48 h period. Heptanoic, hexanoic, isobutyric, and isovaleric acids contributed 23.5%, 17.6%, 9.26%, and 3.39% (0.034, 0.258, 0.030, and 0.014 µg m-2 min-1), respectively, to total odor activity values (OAV). The aromatics indole and skatole contributed 14.7% and 8.84%, (0.005 and 0.0004 µg m-2 min-1), respectively, to total OAV. Dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) contributed 9.50% (0.013 µg m-2 min-1) and dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) contributed 5.68% (0.030 µg m-2 min-1) to total OAV. Emissions of the sulfur compounds (DMDS and DMTS) were substantially greater for the 30% WDGS diet. With the exception of heptanoic acid, flux measurements were greater from the plots where manure was surface-applied than from the plots where manure was incorporated. Emissions of each VOC were greater on the first day following manure application when a saturated soil water condition was present. VOC flux values were found to rapidly decrease following manure application. Effective best management practices for reducing VOC emissions are to incorporate manure soon after application and to delay land application when there is a high probability of rainfall.

Published: January 2022

All-optical wavelength conversion technology based on two-dimensional (2D) materials has lately received keen interest. As a new 2D material, borophene displays acceptable photoelectric properties. We demonstrate the all-optical wavelength conversion through four-wave mixing (FWM) in borophene-microfiber hybrid waveguides. Borophene is deposited at the thinnest part of the tapered fiber and enhanced FWM occurs in this photonic device. By optimizing the effect of nonlinear polarization, wavelength tuning, and power variation, the conversion efficiency increases to

, corresponding to 3 dB conversion bandwidth in a range of 7.1 nm. In addition, this photonic device is employed to achieve all-optical wavelength conversion of 10 Gb/s non-return-to-zero digital sequence. The signal quality of converted light such as optical signal-to-noise ratio, bit-error-rate, and eye diagram are investigated, which indicates that the proposed wavelength converter has high conversion efficiency and remarkable stability. This study shows that the borophene-microfiber waveguide has potential application prospects in all-optical signal processing.

Objective
The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations between breastfeeding and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in community-dwelling parous women and to clarify whether the associations depend on age.

Methods
The present cross-sectional study included 11,118 women, aged 35–69 years. Participants’ longest breastfeeding duration for one child and their number of breastfed children were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire, and their total breastfeeding duration was approximated as a product of the number of breastfed children and the longest breastfeeding duration. The longest and the total breastfeeding durations were categorized into none and tertiles above 0 months. Metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia) were defined as primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. Associations between breastfeeding history and metabolic syndrome or each cardiovascular risk factor were assessed using multivariable unconditional logistic regression analysis.

Results
Among a total of 11,118 women, 10,432 (93.8%) had ever breastfed, and 1,236 (11.1%) had metabolic syndrome. In participants aged <55 years, an inverse dose–response relationship was found between the number of breastfed children and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome; multivariable-adjusted odds ratios for 1, 2, 3, and ≥4 breastfed children were 0.60 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.31 to 1.17), 0.50 (95% CI: 0.29 to 0.87), 0.44 (95% CI: 0.24 to 0.84), and 0.35 (95% CI: 0.14 to 0.89), respectively. The longest and total breastfeeding durations of longer than 0 months were also associated with lower odds of metabolic syndrome relative to no breastfeeding history in participants aged <55 years. In contrast, all measures of breastfeeding history were not significantly associated with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk factors in participants aged ≥55 years old.

Conclusions
Breastfeeding history may be related to lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome in middle-aged parous women.

Published: January 2022

Background
In drug trials, adverse events (AEs) burden can induce treatment non-adherence or discontinuation. The non-adherence and discontinuation induce selection bias, affecting drug safety interpretation. Nested case-control (NCC) study can efficiently quantify the impact of the AEs, although choice of sampling approach is challenging. We investigated whether NCC study with incidence density sampling is more efficient than NCC with path sampling under conditional logistic or weighted Cox models in assessing the effect of AEs on treatment non-adherence and participation in preventive antimalarial drug during pregnancy trial.

Methods
Using data from a trial of medication to prevent malaria in pregnancy that randomized 600 women to receive chloroquine or sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine during pregnancy, we conducted a NCC study assessing the role of prospectively collected AEs, as exposure of interest, on treatment non-adherence and study non-completion. We compared estimates from NCC study with incidence density against those from NCC with path sampling under conditional logistic and weighted Cox models.

Results
Out of 599 women with the outcomes of interest, 474 (79%) experienced at least one AE before delivery. For conditional logistic model, the hazard ratio for the effect of AE occurrence on treatment non-adherence was 0.70 (95% CI: 0.42, 1.17; p = 0.175) under incidence density sampling and 0.68 (95% CI: 0.41, 1.13; p = 0.137) for path sampling. For study non-completion, the hazard ratio was 1.02 (95% CI: 0.56, 1.83; p = 0.955) under incidence density sampling and 0.85 (95% CI: 0.45, 1.60; p = 0.619) under path sampling. We obtained similar hazard ratios and standard errors under incidence density sampling and path sampling whether weighted Cox or conditional logistic models were used.

Conclusion
NCC with incidence density sampling and NCC with path sampling are practically similar in efficiency whether conditional logistic or weighted Cox analytical methods although path sampling uses more unique controls to achieve the similar estimates.

Alors que la croissance de l’économie belge fut très soutenue durant une large partie de l’année écoulée, nos estimations indiquent que celle-ci a considérablement ralenti en fin d’année, comme le montre l’encadré 2. Les principaux facteurs explicatifs de ce ralentissement sont la dégradation de la situation sanitaire, les difficultés rencontrées par les entreprises pour accroître leur production, et une forte hausse de l’inflation.
Ces facteurs devraient continuer à freiner considérablement la croissance de l’économie belge début 2022. Le risque sanitaire posé par la variant Omicron a ainsi contraint la Belgique et ses voisins européens à réinstaurer des mesures sanitaires strictes. Les contraintes d’offre sont par ailleurs encore importantes.
Au-delà du court terme, en comptant sur une amélioration des conditions sanitaires à partir de la fin de l’hiver et sur une diminution des perturbations dans les chaînes mondiales d’approvisionnement, la croissance économique belge se raffermirait, sans pour autant être aussi soutenue qu’elle ne l’a été en 2021.
Selon nos prévisions, l’économie belge progresserait de 3,0 % en 2022, après une forte progression de 6,1 % en 2021 (Encadré 1). L’emploi, qui a fortement augmenté en 2021, augmenterait encore de manière significative en 2022, de sorte que le chômage continuerait à reculer (Encadré 1). Enfin, la hausse des prix devrait progressivement ralentir en 2022.
Venous thrombosis risk factors in pregnant women

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third most common cause of death on Earth after myocardial infarctions and strokes, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Pregnancy is a unique condition of woman, when enormous changes occur in functioning of the most important systems of homeostasis in a relatively short time. These are physiological hypercoagulation, slowing of blood flow, increase in circulating blood volume, etc. However, while being physiological, these changes increase the risks of venous thromboembolism by almost 6 times. In some cases, there appears an imbalance or dissociation between the functioning of natural antithrombotic systems and the activation of coagulation as a consequence of genetically or acquired determined causes (genetic thrombophilia, antiphospholipid syndrome, comorbidities, obstetric complications and other exogenous and endogenous factors). Accordingly, identification of risk factors, their systematization, and determination of VTE risks in pregnancy and puerperium is one of the most important tasks of clinical medicine. Various recommendations have appeared for practitioners during the last 10–15 years on the basis of the risk factors analysis in order to prevent VTE in pregnant women more effectively. Nevertheless, none of these recommendations can yet take into account all risk factors, although convenient scoring systems have emerged for risk assessment and clear recommendations on anti-thrombotic prophylaxis regimens in risk groups in recent years. This article will review historical understanding of thrombosis in pregnant women, progress in understanding VTE risk factors in pregnant women, and available reserves in identifying new risk factors during pregnancy and puerperium in order to stratify risks more efficiently.

Published: January 2022

Cultural attractions, cultural sites and events are an important motive for travel. The participation of museums in cultural tourism is linked to their activities. Museums, adapted to the challenges of modern society: digitization, increasing the number of services for visitors, presenting and selling new educational programs, adapting to a diverse audience, have the potential to attract more visitors. The needs of the today’s user of cultural tourism are high, and museums seek to reveal cultural content in an interesting, engaging, unexpected way.
The aim of the research is to evaluate the opinion of the visitors of the Budgetary Establishment (BE) “Neringos muziejai” about the attractiveness of the museum for cultural tourism. To achieve this goal, the criteria for assessing the attractiveness of the museum as an object of cultural tourism were identified. On the basis of these criteria, the visitors’ opinions about the attractiveness of the BE ,,Neringos muziejai” for cultural tourism were evaluated.
The results of the research confirmed that the visitors of the BE “Neringos muziejai” are educated, middle-aged and higher-income people, for whom it is important to spend leisure time in meaningful and interesting ways, gain knowledge and experience. In their opinion, the attractiveness of this museum for cultural tourism would be enhanced by the overall museum environment, updated exhibitions, competent staff, events in the museum, innovativeness in using modern innovations and technologies such as multimedia, virtual tours, 3D projections, smart guides.
Optimization of Invariant Ellipsoid Technique for Sparse Controllers Design

Published: January 2022

The paper deals with the method for the design of linear controllers with sparse state feedback matrices for control the plants under conditions of unknown and bounded disturbances. The importance of the sparsity property in feedback can be explained by two factors. First, by minimizing the columnar norm of the feedback matrix in the control it becomes pos- sible to use a minimum number of measuring devices. Secondly, by minimizing the row norm of the feedback matrix, the required number of executive (control) devices is minimized. Both properties, if they are achievable in the synthesis of the controller, reduce the cost of the system and improve the fault tolerance and quality of regulation by reducing the structural complexity. The search algorithm for sparse matrices is based on the method of invariant ellipsoids and is formulated as a solution to a system of linear matrix inequalities with additional constraints. A special set of optimization conditions is proposed which for a disturbed system minimizes overshoot and overshoots in transient processes of the disturbed closed- loop system simultaneously with minimizing errors in the steady state. The proposed method also assumes the possibility of minimizing both the row norm of the feedback matrix and the column one, while preserving the robustness properties, which makes it possible to solve the sparse control problem (a sparse control is understood as a linear controller with a sparse feedback matrix). The efficiency of the proposed control scheme is confirmed by the results of computer modeling and comparison with some existing ones.
PRODUÇÕES ACADÊMICAS SOBRE OS INSTITUTOS FEDERAIS DE EDUCAÇÃO NO RS: análise dos movimentos dos sentidos

Published: January 2022

O artigo sistematiza pesquisa que objetivou analisar a produção acadêmica sobre os Institutos Federais de Educação – IFs no Rio Grande do Sul/RS, em programas gaúchos de pós-graduação em Educação, entre 2009 e 2020. Tal estudo justifica-se pelo interesse em conhecer como está se constituindo a pesquisa nos cursos stricto sensu em EPT. Ao mesmo tempo que se descreve o estudo em cento e trinta e três trabalhos selecionados, demonstra-se como o corpus da pesquisa foi abordado, com base na Análise dos Movimentos de Sentidos (AMS). Além de indicar a dificuldade para realização desse modo de investigação em repositórios, a pesquisa permitiu que se percebesse a necessidade de uma rede de pesquisadores e de produções mais articuladas sobre Educação Profissional e Tecnológica como política educacional e, inserida nela, sobre os Institutos Federais de Educação no Estado. Quanto aos dados produzidos, a pesquisa possibilitou visualizar que os Institutos, embora mencionados nos títulos, na maior parte dos trabalhos, são apenas o contexto onde outras temáticas são estudadas, sendo as principais: formação e trabalho dos professores, currículo e PROEJA. Dessa forma, apenas dez por cento dos trabalhos versa efetivamente sobre os IFs, descrevendo-os como instituições em processo de implementação no Estado.Palavras-chave: educação profissional e tecnológica; políticas educacionais; análise dos movimentos de sentidos; pesquisa em educação.ACADEMIC PRODUCTIONS ABOUT THE INSTITUTOS FEDERAIS DE EDUCAÇÃO IN RS: an analysis of the movements of the sensesAbstractThe article systematizes research that aimed to analyze the academic production on the Institutos Federais de Educação - IFs in Rio Grande do Sul / RS, in postgraduate programs in Education, between 2009 and 2020. This study is justified by the interest in knowing how the research in stricto sensu courses in EPT is being constituted. At the same time that the study is described in one hundred and thirty-three selected works, it demonstrates how the corpus of the research was approached, based on the Analysis of the Movement of Senses (AMS). In addition to indicating the difficulty in carrying out this mode of investigation in repositories, the research allowed us to perceive the need for a network of researchers and more articulated productions on Vocational and Technological Education as an educational policy and, inserted in it, on the Institutos Federais de Educação in the State. As for the data produced, the research made it possible to see that the Institutes, although mentioned in the titles, in most of the works, are just the context where other themes are studied, the main ones being: teacher training and work, curriculum and PROEJA. Thus, only ten percent of the works effectively deal with the IFs, describing them as institutions in the process of being implemented in the State.Keywords: professional and technological education; educational policies; analysis of movements of meanings; research in education.

THE MOTIVATION TO LEARN ARABIC FOR BEGINNER PUPILS AT MAN 4 BANYUWANGI (Implementation of ARCS Model)
Authors: Istiqomah Himatul 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Arabic has an important role as the official international language. Besides, Arabic has become a sacred language for Muslims. Because most of the Islamic religious rituals involve Arabic. The text of the holy book of Muslims (al-Qur'an) also uses Arabic. However, there are still many Muslim pupils with inadequate Arabic language skills. Through qualitative research with this documentation technique, the researcher aims to measure the motivation to learn Arabic in beginner pupils at MAN 4 Banyuwangi 2020, which is focused on reading al-Qur'an skills. The instrument used was the Cunningsworth perspective ARCS model motivation questionnaire. The results of this study indicate that the beginner pupils at MAN 4 Banyuwangi 2020 who have high category learning motivation in the Arabic language are more than those who have low category learning motivation in the Arabic language.
Keywords: Learning Motivation, ARCS Model, Beginner Pupils, and MAN 4 Banyuwangi.
