The Use of Geomaterials to Restore the Utility Value of Post-Mining Areas

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Post-mining deformations that occur on the surface pose a significant threat to natural environments and urbanized areas. Preventing the effects of deformation is a significant challenge for specialists in geotechnical and civil engineering. Geomaterials, such as geosynthetics or geopolymers, could minimize the damage that occurs. The first section of the article explores the securing of an area, strengthening the rock mass with geosynthetic materials. We provide descriptions of the properties of these materials and the method surrounding their introduction into the soil. The second section presents the research problem, i.e., we describe the damage caused by underground mining. In the last section, we propose a solution for securing the ground with the use of geogrids and geopolymer injections into the rock mass. The analyses led us to conclude that an area subjected to mining influences may be strengthened by the use of geosynthetic materials. The use of geosynthetics in a mining area is a well-known topic, but the additional use of geopolymers may be innovative. Research is still being conducted on the use of geopolymers to fill post-mining voids, in combination with geosynthetics.

Demographic and genetic collapses in spatially structured populations: insights from a long‐term survey in wild fish metapopulations

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Unraveling the relationship between demographic declines and genetic changes over time is of critical importance to predict the persistence of at‐risk populations and to propose efficient conservation plans. This is particularly relevant in spatially structured populations (i.e. metapopulations) in which the spatial arrangement of local populations can modulate both demographic and genetic changes. We used ten‐year demo‐genetic monitoring to test 1) whether demographic declines were associated with genetic diversity declines and 2) whether the spatial structure of a metapopulation can weaken or reinforce these demographic and genetic temporal trends. We continuously surveyed, over time and across their entire range, two metapopulations of an endemic freshwater fish species Leuciscus burdigalensis : one metapopulation that had experienced a recent demographic decline and a second metapopulation that was stable over time. In the declining metapopulation, the number of alleles rapidly decreased, the inbreeding coefficient increased, and a genetic bottleneck emerged over time. In contrast, genetic indices were constant over time in the stable metapopulation. We further show that, in the declining metapopulation, demographic and genetic declines were not homogeneously distributed across the metapopulation. We notably identify one local population situated downstream as a ‘reservoir’ of individuals and genetic variability that dampens both the demographic and genetic declines measured at the metapopulation level. We demonstrate the usefulness of long‐term monitoring that combines both genetic and demographic parameters to understand and predict temporal population fluctuations of at‐risk species living in a metapopulation context.
Branched Chain Amino Acid Supplementation to a Hypocaloric Diet Does Not Affect Resting Metabolic Rate but Increases Postprandial Fat Oxidation Response in Overweight and Obese Adults after Weight Loss Intervention

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Branched chain amino acids (BCAA) supplementation is reported to aid in lean mass preservation, which may in turn minimize the reduction in resting metabolic rate (RMR) during weight loss. Our study aimed to examine the effect of BCAA supplementation to a hypocaloric diet on RMR and substrate utilization during a weight loss intervention. Methods: A total of 111 Chinese subjects comprising 55 males and 56 females aged 21 to 45 years old with BMI between 25 and 36 kg/m2 were randomized into three hypocaloric diet groups: (1) standard-protein (14%) with placebo (CT), (2) standard-protein with BCAA, and (3) high-protein (27%) with placebo. Indirect calorimetry was used to measure RMR, carbohydrate, and fat oxidation before and after 16 weeks of dietary intervention. Results: RMR was reduced from 1600 ± 270 kcal/day to 1500 ± 264 kcal/day (p < 0.0005) after weight loss, but no significant differences in the change of RMR, respiratory quotient, and percentage of fat and carbohydrate oxidation were observed among the three diet groups. Subjects with BCAA supplementation had an increased postprandial fat (p = 0.021) and decreased postprandial carbohydrate (p = 0.044) oxidation responses compared to the CT group after dietary intervention. Conclusions: BCAA-supplemented standard-protein diet did not significantly attenuate reduction of RMR compared to standard-protein and high-protein diets. However, the postprandial fat oxidation response increased after BCAA-supplemented weight loss intervention.

Gaussian Mutation Specular Reflection Learning with Local Escaping Operator Based Artificial Electric Field Algorithm and Its Engineering Application

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

During the contribution of a metaheuristic algorithm for solving complex problems, one of the major challenges is to obtain the one that provides a well-balanced exploration and exploitation. Among the possible solutions to overcome this issue is to combine the strengths of the different methods. In this study, one of the recently developed metaheuristic algorithms, artificial electric field algorithm (AEFA), has been used, to improve its converge speed and the ability to avoid the local optimum points of the given problems. To address these issues, Gaussian mutation specular reflection learning (GS) and local escaping operator (LEO) have been added to the essential steps on AEFA and called GSLEO-AEFA. In order to observe the effect of the applied features, 23 benchmark functions as well as engineering and real-world application problems were tested and compared with the other algorithms. Friedman and Wilcoxon rank-sum statistical tests, and complexity analyses were also conducted to measure the performance of GSLEO-AEFA. The overall effectiveness of the algorithm among the compared algorithms obtained in between 84.62–92.31%. According to the achieved results, it can be seen that GSLEO-AEFA has precise optimization accuracy even in changing dimensions, especially in engineering optimization problems.
Preparation and Performance of Fluorocarbon Polyurethane Amino Baking Paint for Graffiti-Resistant Whiteboards

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Fluorocarbon polyurethane amino baking paint for graffiti-resistant whiteboards was designed and prepared. Firstly, perfluorohexylethyl alcohol (TEOH6) and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) were reacted under certain conditions to obtain fluorocarbon mono-isocyanate, then fluorocarbon diols were obtained by reacting with trimethylolpropane, and finally fluorocarbon polyurethane hydroxy resin was formed by reacting with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and polyester diols. The synthesized hydroxyl resin was used as the basis to configure fluorocarbon polyurethane amino baking paint for graffiti-resistant whiteboards and was upgraded by adding hydroxyl silicone oil. Secondly, a series of performance tests, such as hardness, adhesion, flexibility, and corrosion resistance, were conducted to verify that the baking paint possessed excellent properties for use on writing whiteboards. The graffiti resistance of each paint film was evaluated by different methods, and it was found that the graffiti resistance was mainly due to the excellent hydrophobicity and oleophobicity of the paint films after the enrichment of fluorocarbon chains on their surfaces, and the combined effect of low surface energy caused by hydroxyl silicone oil crosslinked with amino resin. This study provides a theoretical basis and technical support for the preparation of fluorocarbon polyurethane baking paint for graffiti-resistant whiteboards.

Education Policy in the Context of Economic Sciences – Human Capital in the Process of Production and Consumption

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

In economic relations, man acts both as creator and consumer of values. As a creator he applies his human capital in them. The aim of the study is to contribute to clarifying these starting points from the aspect of economic theory. The first chapter is devoted to man and his education in the process of value production. W. Petty viewed man directly as (human) capital; A. Smith viewed man as the bearer of this capital; but in the latter case it can be assumed that part of the investment in education is consumed. The second chapter is devoted to a man in the process of consumption of the goods of education. Man as a consumer of the values (goods) of education can be seen in terms of cardinalist or ordinalist theory. The result of the study is a better understanding of these theoretical underpinnings of economic science, allowing practical questions about the financing of education to be addressed with greater competence.

HUBUNGAN ANTARA DERAJAT HIPERTENSI DENGAN KUALITAS TIDUR PADA PASIEN HIPERTENSI DI RUMAH SAKIT PMI KOTA BOGOR

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: According to the Ministry of Health (2021), Hypertension or high blood pressure is characterized by an increase in systolic blood pressure exceeding 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure exceeding 90 mmHg in two measurements taken five minutes apart in a sufficiently rested/quiet state. Poor sleep quality occurs due to increased cortisol hormone, caused by the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which enhances vasoconstrictor effects (epinephrine and norepinephrine) that influence the increase in blood pressure. Individuals with good sleep quality tend to experience a better quality of life. This study aims to determine the relationship between the degree of hypertension and sleep quality in hypertensive patients at PMI Hospital Bogor City in 2023. Method: This is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional analytical study design. The sampling technique used in this study is non-probability sampling with a sample size of 82 individuals using accidental sampling. Sleep quality was measured using the PSQI questionnaire. Data analysis employed univariate and bivariate analyses with the chi-square statistical test. Results: The Chi-square test analysis for the relationship between the degree of hypertension and sleep quality in hypertensive patients yielded a p-value of 0.115 (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of this research, it is concluded that there is no significant relationship between the degree of hypertension and sleep quality in hypertensive patients at PMI Hospital Bogor City in 2023.

Expanding the risk assessment methodology for work-related health: A technique for incorporating multivariate curvilinear effects

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Abstract Although there is conceptual and empirical evidence that supports the existence of possible curvilinear relationships between job characteristics and health outcomes, risk assessments usually rely on linear estimation approaches. However, this approach may not be conducive to good risk management practice. Where curvilinear effects exist, it is possible for there to be too much of a beneficial work characteristic, or too little of one that is harmful. If that is the case then there will be an optimum level for health and well-being. This study explores a new risk estimation technique that can accommodate multivariate curvilinear relationships. The partial derivatives technique can provide stronger predictive utility, incorporate synergistic effects of predictors, and is supported by conceptual work and empirical evidence. To illustrate these ideas, a risk assessment was conducted on a sample of 354 police officers in Greece. Multivariate polynomial regression analyses indicated that a number of job characteristics salient to participants' experiences were related to outcomes curvilinearly. A risk index (Ri) was derived from a range of values that represent the slopes of all possible lines tangential to the curve that describes the relationship between predictor and outcome. This technique may help to refine and extend current models of risk assessment for work-related health and stimulate new interest in research into risk assessment methodology.

Pathogenetic therapy of bacterial vaginosis - priorities and focus

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Impaired vaginal microbiocenosis results in various diseases and clinical syndromes. Vaginal microflora imbalance is most often manifested in the form of bacterial vaginosis (BV) caused by the displacement of vaginal lactobacilli with pathogenic obligate anaerobes. The major problem faced by clinicians in the treatment of BV is its tendency towards frequent recurrence. Thus, according to some sources, in 30% of women recurring BV is registered on average within three months after treatment, in 50% - within six months, respectively [1]. However, as the etiology of the syndrome has not been established so far, there is not a unified therapeutic strategy for recurrent BV, neither is it included in any local and global clinical guidelines.
DLTS Studies of Carbon Related Complexes in Irradiated N- and P-Silicon

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

DLTS studies of transformation kinetics of different carbon–related complexes in electron irradiated n- and p-type silicon have been performed. It has been found that silicon self-interstitials have very low mobility even at room temperature in p-Si, but become extremely mobile under elec-tron injection. It is shown that upon annealing of interstitial carbon in p-Si a metastable state for interstitial carbon-interstitial oxygen complex is formed. This state has an energy level of about Еv+0.36 eV. The formation of the stable and metastable states takes place concurrently. The observed features of the carbon-related complexes formation are likely related to the existence of different crystallographic orientation of the equiprobable pathways through which the interstitial carbon and oxygen atoms can approach each other.
FINITE GEOMETRIES IN QUANTUM THEORY: FROM GALOIS (FIELDS) TO HJELMSLEV (RINGS)

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Geometries over Galois fields (and related finite combinatorial structures/algebras) have recently been recognized to play an ever-increasing role in quantum theory, especially when addressing properties of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs). The purpose of this contribution is to show that completely new vistas open up if we consider a generalized class of finite (projective) geometries, viz. those defined over Galois rings and/or other finite Hjelmslev rings. The case is illustrated by demonstrating that the basic combinatorial properties of a complete set of MUBs of a q-dimensional Hilbert space [Formula: see text], q = p r with p being a prime and r a positive integer, are qualitatively mimicked by the configuration of points lying on a proper conic in a projective Hjelmslev plane defined over a Galois ring of characteristic p 2 and rank r. The q vectors of a basis of [Formula: see text] correspond to the q points of a (so-called) neighbour class and the q + 1 MUBs answer to the total number of (pairwise disjoint) neighbour classes on the conic. Although this remarkable analogy is still established at the level of cardinalities only, we currently work on constructing an explicit mapping by associating a MUB to each neighbour class of the points of the conic and a state vector of this MUB to a particular point of the class. Further research in this direction may prove to be of great relevance for many areas of quantum information theory, in particular for quantum information processing.
