Distribution and Use Patterns of Small-Scale Rice Mills in Kampar Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Milling process is the most completely mechanized in rice farming operations in Kampar Regency, Indonesia. Small-scale rice mills are the most popular used by rice farmers and widely distributed over paddy areas in the region. Accordingly, a survey was conducted to recognize the distribution and use patterns of the small-scale rice mills. A total of 20 small-scale rice mills were observed from selected districts of the regency and the machines’ owners and operators were interviewed to collect field data. The results showed that the distribution of the small-scale rice mills was concentrated in a wider area of paddy field with a high level of production due to a high demand of milling rice in the areas. Because of most farmers are subsistence in production and the rice will be milled when being consumed, so the small-scale rice mills could be operated along the year. The number of paddy milled in total for a year was 16.4 tonnes for rice mills with a capacity of 750 kg/h and 3.9 tonnes for rice mills with a capacity of 500 kg/h. However, the number of milled paddy varied across months with the peak demand for milling rice occurred after harvesting and before fasting month.
Tourism Mobility at the Summer Olympic Games Rio 2016

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Sports tourism as a segment is growing exponentially in Brazil. The sports mega-events that occurred in the period from 2007 to 2016 helped strengthen this sector significantly. This article examined tourism mobility during the Summer Olympic Games Rio 2016, hosted by the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This study expands the understanding of the relationship between tourism and city infrastructure, therefore being relevant to academics, professionals of the area, and to the whole society due to its multidisciplinary field. The existence of a relationship between means of transportation and the Olympic regions as well as tourist attractions for a possible legacy was observed. Data were collected from official sources, field research, and through participant observation and semistructured interviews. Data were coded and analyzed. The results indicate that the city was overall successful in its execution of sufficient mobility. New means of transportation were added and others updated. Bus rapid transits (BRTs) were the main use of mass transport to Olympic sites. However, a lack of public transport access was observed for the touristic sites.
Addressing the challenges of heritage surface seismic data in a complex shallow water environment for improved overburden imaging and reservoir characterization

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

We present an integrated workflow that involves broadband reprocessing, high-resolution model building, and depth domain inversion, aiming to reduce some of the uncertainties of the Cook reservoir, located in the West Central Graben of the North Sea. Adaptive deghosting and recent noise attenuation techniques are used to optimize the value of the heritage seismic data. Full waveform inversion is used to reveal the shallow velocity complexity and compensate for seismic distortions beneath. Multilayer tomography is used to resolve the deeper velocities, incorporating checkshot constraints to guarantee sensible borehole ties. A preliminary depth domain inversion suggests that low acoustic impedance values may be due to irregular illumination rather than a change in petrophysical properties. The products from this streamlined strategy will facilitate a new reservoir characterization and support future geohazard analysis.

Perceived stress and performance of daily activities among emergency healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers were exposed to intense stress in the emergency departments and sudden changes in their daily lives. Objective The study aimed to investigate the impact of the pandemic on performance and participation in the activities of daily living, personal lives, and overall well-being of the healthcare workers in an emergency department. Methods Seventy-eight people working in an emergency department of a university hospital (100% of those eligible) participated in the study during June-July 2022. A self-report survey, cross-sectional design was used to collect data. Participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS) and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Independent sample t-tests, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results There was a significant negative correlation between PSS and COPM Performance (r = −0.524) as well as between PSS and COPM Satisfaction (r = −0.508), indicating that higher levels of stress were associated with lower performance and satisfaction. In addition, work-related factors, including working experience, daily working hours, and time available for rest at work, were significantly associated with PSS, COPM Performance, and Satisfaction (p < 0.05). The strongest multivariate associations (p = 0.001) were found between lacking time to rest at work and PSS (direct) and COPM Performance and Satisfaction (inverse). Conclusion The stress experienced by emergency healthcare workers during COVID-19 negatively impacted their performance, daily activities, personal lives, and well-being. A potential implication is that policy-makers addressing work-related factors and implementing regulations could improve the well-being of these workers in their professional practices.
Effects of electrical and thermal pre-treatment on mass transport in biological tissue

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Le champ electrique d'une puissance suffisante peut provoquer une augmentation de conductivite et permeabilite de la membrane cellulaire. L'effet est connu comme l'electroporation, attribuee a la creation de voies aqueuses dans la membrane. Quantifier le transport de la matiere dans le cadre d'electroporation est un objectif important. Comprendre ces processus a des ramifications dans l’extraction du jus ou l’extraction selective des composes de cellules vegetales, l'amelioration de l'administration de medicaments, et des solutions aux defis environnementaux. Il y a un manque de modeles qui pourraient etre utilises pour modeliser le transport de la matiere dans les structures complexes (tissus biologiques) par rapport a l'electroporation. Cette these presente une description mathematique theorique (un modele) pour etudier le transport de la matiere et le transfert de la chaleur dans tissu traite par l’electroporation. Le modele a ete developpe en utilisant les lois de conservation et de transport et permet le couplage des effets de l'electroporation sur la membrane des cellules individuelles au transport de la matiere ou la chaleur dans le tissu. Une solution analytique a ete trouvee par une simplification, mais le modele peut etre etendu avec des dependances fonctionnelles supplementaires et resolu numeriquement. La these comprend cinq articles sur l'electroporation dans l'industrie alimentaire, la creation de modele pour le probleme de diffusion, la traduction du modele au probleme lie a l’expression de jus, validation du modele, ainsi que des suggestions pour une elaboration future du modele. Un chapitre supplementaire est dedie au transfert de la chaleur dans tissu.
Energy Utilization Task Scheduling for MapReduce in Heterogeneous Clusters

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Nowadays, energy costs are the most important factor in cloud computing. Therefore, the implementation of energy-aware task scheduling methods is of utmost importance. A task scheduling framework considering deadlines, data locality and resource utilization is proposed to save on energy costs in heterogeneous clusters. The framework consists of task list construction, task scheduling and slot list updating. In terms of deadline constraints, number of job slots allocated and possible processing times of jobs, a new job sequence is proposed to construct an reasonable task list. Tasks are scheduled to promising slots from their rack-local servers, cluster-local servers and remote servers in the produced task scheduling, which greatly improves data locality. After the assignment among tasks and slots, an update of available slots in clusters is proposed not only to find available slots but also to improve server resource utilization using fuzzy logic with the available number of slots according to current CPU, memory and bandwidth utilization. Experimental results show that the proposed heuristic results in lower energy consumption than the adapted existing algorithms with a variable total number of slots.
Extracting Collocations from Syntactically Annotated Corpora

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper the extraction of collocations from biomedical text sources is described. The extraction of uninterrupted collocation candidates is introduced and for interrupted candidates a new technique using suffix tries is developed. It reduces computational complexity, compared to previous approaches to this task. Extraction is further extended to annotated biomedical corpora, which enables the discovery of patterns with mixed attributes like base forms combined with syntactical categories. Finally, different common approaches for evaluating candidates are explained, and their applicability to interrupted and mixed attribute candidates is discussed.
Evaluating the Effect of Microcredit on Rural Livelihoods: A Case Study of Farming Households in Southwest Nigeria

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Access to credit is an important thing in improving the livelihoods of rural families in developing international locations, enabling them to triumph over monetary barriers and spend money on productive activities. This observation evaluates the impact of microcredit on the livelihoods of rural farming households in Southwest Nigeria, specializing in assets of credit and elements influencing credit access. Descriptive facts and multinomial logistic regression were used to analyse the information. Results show that informal credit sources, such as family and friends, are predominantly utilized by 97.5% of respondents, while only 8.3% accessed microfinance banks. The average credit amount received was ₦167,000, with limited utilization primarily due to constraints like market access and lack of technical knowledge. Agricultural activities such as crop production and livestock farming dominate rural livelihoods, suggesting that microcredit plays a crucial role in improving productivity. However, findings indicate that higher education levels, income, and household size significantly influence the likelihood of accessing formal and informal credit. The study concludes that microcredit has the potential to improve rural livelihoods, but formal credit systems must be expanded to reduce reliance on costly informal sources and enhance the overall welfare of rural households.
Allocation flexibility for agribusiness supply chains under market demand disruption

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper develops a multi-commodity multi-period optimisation model to analyse market demand disruption risk in agribusiness supply chains. It investigates the role of allocation flexibility and the effectiveness of multiple risk management strategies for achieving allocation flexibility. A robust optimisation formulation is used to obtain risk-averse solutions for an objective combining expected profit and risk. Numerical results are presented for a real-life case study of Zespri’s kiwifruit supply chain. The results show that allocation flexibility is effective for mitigating market demand disruption risk. Three proposed risk management strategies, namely diversified demand market, backup demand market and flexible rerouting, improve both expected profit and risk measures. While diversified demand market and backup demand market strategies are equally important for all decision-makers, flexible rerouting is especially significant for less risk-averse decision-makers.
BATF2 activates DUSP2 gene expression and up-regulates NF-κB activity via phospho-STAT3 dephosphorylation

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Abstract Growing evidence has revealed that the transcription factor basic leucine zipper transcription factor ATF-like 2 (BATF2) has unique transcriptional activities, including regulating cytokines via TLR signals in macrophages, which affect mortality due to infection and cancer. On the basis of genome-wide analyses using the chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing technique, we found that dual-specificity phosphatase 2 (Dusp2) had a significantly lower acetyl-histone status in Batf2−/− bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) compared with wild-type (WT) BMDMs. The phosphatase DUSP2 has been reported to play a critical role in inflammatory responses. Therefore, we evaluated the BATF2 transcriptional activities on the Dusp2 promoter. We found that the DUSP2 and IL-12 p40 expression levels were significantly lower in Batf2−/− BMDMs than in WT controls following their stimulation with TLR7 ligands. Further in vitro studies revealed that phospho-STAT3 was up-regulated and NF-κB p50/p65 were down-regulated in Batf2−/− BMDMs compared with their levels in WT controls. Additionally, Th1 immunity was impaired in Batf2−/− mice following their stimulation with TLR7 ligands. We also found that BATF2 interacts with NF-κB p65 and promotes DUSP2 expression through the NF-κB-binding site in the Dusp2 promoter at −203 to −121. Collectively, our findings suggest that BATF2 activates DUSP2 gene expression and up-regulates NF-κB activity via phospho-STAT3 dephosphorylation.
From ‘the’ Precautionary Principle to Precautionary Principles

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The precautionary principle has been widely discussed in the academic, legal, and policy arenas. This paper argues, however, that there is no single precautionary principle and we should stop referring to 'the' precautionary principle. Instead, we should talk about 'precaution' and 'precautionary approaches' more generally and identify and defend distinct precautionary principles of limited scope. Drawing on the vast literature on 'the' precautionary principle, this paper further argues that the challenges of decision making under conditions of uncertainty necessitate taking a precautionary approach to decision making that will enable us to understand what particular precautionary principles require of us on a case-by-case basis.
How are Sensory Features associated with seven anxiety disorders in boys with Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract The association between Sensory Features (SF) and seven anxiety disorders was investigated using self‐reports and parental reports about 140 young males with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Although there were significant correlations between SF and self‐ and parent‐ratings of some of the seven anxiety disorders, overall, SF was found to have an inconsistent association across the seven anxiety disorders and this was also found for the 8 symptoms of Generalised Anxiety Disorder. These data challenge the practice of assessing SF and anxiety via global measures and argue for individualized disorder‐specific assessments to develop more effective diagnoses and treatments for the effects of SF.
[Fluorescence spectra analysis of papain structure treated by dynamic high pressure microfluidization in low pressure ranges].

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The present research investigated the effect of dynamic high pressure microfluidization (DHPM) in low pressure ranges (60-100 MPa) on the molecular structure of papain with the help of fluorescence spectra as the detection method. The result showed that after the treatment of DHPM at 60-100 MPa, the fluorescence intensity of papain, tryptophan (Trp) and tyrosine (Tyr) residues all decreased to different extents. Meanwhile, with the increase in the treatment pressure, their fluorescence intensity would gradually increase and the fluorescence emission peak would gradually red shift from 334 and 277. 5 nm before treatment to 335 and 278 nm after 100 MPa treatment for papain and Trp residue respectively; after the treatment, with the samples being placed at 0-4 degrees C for 24 h, the fluorescence spectra of papain, Tyr and Trp residues in various experiment groups basically maintained the same changing tendency compared to that of newly treated samples. Hence, it showed that after the treatment of DHPM in low pressure ranges, the Trp residue of papain was gradually brought to light and formed new and comparatively stable molecular conformation.

Simple HPLC-Fluorescence Determination of Raspberry Ketone in Fragrance Mist after Pre-Column Derivatization with 4-Hydrazino-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Raspberry ketone {RK, 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-one} is a natural compound contained in raspberry, and is added to cosmetics for skin whitening. It is very important to measure the RK level in cosmetics for quality assessment, since RK structurally resembles 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanol, which causes leukoderma on consumers’ skin. Here, we present a simple HPLC-fluorescence method for determination of RK in a fragrance mist by pre-column derivatization with 4-hydrazino-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole hydrazine (NBD-H), which reacts with the carbonyl group of RK. The NBD-RK derivative was eluted from a reversed-phase ODS column, and detected with excitation at 470 nm and emission at 550 nm. The retention time of NBD-RK derivative obtained by reaction with NBD-H at 80°C for 20 min was 10.3 min. The standard curve was linear in the range of 0.2 to 10 μg/mL, with a correlation coefficient (r2) value of 0.9980. The lower limit of detection was 0.018 μg/mL (absolute amount of 1.8 pmol). The coefficients of variation were less than 8.1%. The content of RK in fragrance mist (1.00 mL) was 1.18 ± 0.07 mg (range: 1.12 to 1.28 mg, n = 5). Recovery tests were satisfactory (83.9% ± 3.9%; range: 79.6 to 88.8%, n = 5).

As we wait: coping with an imperfect nomenclature for extracellular vesicles

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

There is increasing evidence that secreted vesicles play important roles in numerous aspects of biology (e.g. intercellular vesicle traffic, immunity, development, neurobiology and microbiology), contribute to many human diseases (e.g. cancer, neurodegenerative disorders and HIV/AIDS) and have significant biotechnological potential. This expanding interest in extracellular vesicles has also highlighted some vexing problems related to their nomenclature. At the first meeting of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) in Gothenburg, Sweden (April 2012), the authors chaired a session on the issue of vesicle nomenclature.

Conflict and dialogue on filial piety by Confucianism and Catholicism——An exploration on the True Meaning of the Lord of Heaven

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In late Ming dynasty,a debate goes on three ways for being unfilial,and the worst for not producing off-spring between Confucianism and Catholicism.In order to conciliate the discrepancy,Matteo Ricci simulates Confucianism and compares the Confucian filial piety to relationship between human and God.In this simulation,infinity disappears between God and man.Catholicism attaches importance to individual salvation while Confucianism blood ties.So it is a dialogue for true meaning according to hermeneutics.
Group Mobility-Based Optimization of Cache Content in Wireless Device-to-Device Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Content caching in Device-to-Device (D2D) wireless cellular network can be considered an attractive solution to decrease network load during peak time hence improve network performance. In such network, predicting users' movement pattern allows proactive caching to alleviate its congestion leading to load decrease. Optimizing caching process is one important issue to enhance network performance and thus increase offloading probability. In this work, a caching policy strategy is introduced where the network jointly recognizes group mobility and user preferences to solve the caching optimization problem. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to minimize the overall network load by optimizing the amount of data cached in users devices. Simulations are carried out to evaluate performance of presented optimal caching policy. Numerical results in terms of network gain show that the proposed caching scheme optimized by PSO outperforms both baseline scenario and random mobility-based schemes.
