Social Adjustment among Rural Geriatric Female Population: A Comparative Study

Ageing population is becoming a major cause of concern not only for developing country but also for developed countries since decades. India is not isolated with it and more facing demographic changes on social, economic and political front. Globally number of aged persons has increased in recent years, there were 901 million people aged 60 years or above in 2015. Elderly constituents an integral part of a population of any country including India who owe respect and attention equally like any other section. These age groups are also known as “geriatric age groups”. Due to dependence for personal requirement, old age is sometimes called “second childhood” (Pankajam, 2004). The changing economic structure had reduced the dependence of rural families on land which had been providing strength to connect from one to another generation. The older generation is caught between the decline in traditional values on one hand and the absence of adequate social security system on the other (Gormal K., 2003). It has been observed that the elderly feel increasingly neglected and are often cast away as burden. Consequently, physical hardships and psychological stress, security in general and financial security, better health maintenance facilities etc. are the areas which ask for International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 12 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
Dissipation of Pymetrozine and Penconazole On and In Pea Fruits

Estimate the residues of pymetrozine and penconazole in pea fruits were determined by using GC-ECD and HPLC-DAD with QuEChERS method. The application was carried out using knapsack sprayer equipped with one nozzle. The samples were taken after one hour, 1, 3, 5, 8, 11, 15 and 21 days of treatment. Obtained data revealed that the residual level of pymetrozine was less than the maximum residue limit (MRL= 0.02 mg/kg) which recommended by Codex Alimentation Commission, as well as penconazole (MRL= 0.05mg/kg). Data showed that penconazole residues were high persistence (t =3.6 days) than pymetrozine residues (t½=2.5 days) on pea fruits respectively. The pre-harvest interval (PHI) of pymetrozine and penconazole were 8 and 12days after treatments for pea fruits respectively. Results of household processing (washing with water, peeling and boiling) of pea fruits indicated that there are some safety methods to decrease the residues level of pymetrozine and penconazole.
Vulnerable narcissism and body image centrality in cosplay practice: A sequential mediation model

In recent years, the cosplay practice has become a ubiquitous activity, representing a pivotal way to get in touch with the so-called geek culture and its media content (such as videogames, comics, manga). Cosplaying appeared related to narcissistic fragility which in turn is strictly linked to social appearance anxiety and self-objectification experiences. However, despite the body image centrality in cosplay practice, no studies evaluated cosplayers’ narcissistic vulnerability in association with these body image-related issues. A total of 926 young adults (73.2% female; 47.3% cosplayer; mean age=25.3 years) participated in the study. Results confirmed the direct and indirect effect of narcissistic vulnerability on social appearance anxiety (via body surveillance and body shame) among both cosplayers and non-cosplayers. Overall, narcissistically vulnerable individuals, regardless of their involvement in cosplay practice, seem to experience higher body surveillance and body shame, which in turn might promote social appearance anxiety.
BEHIND A MASCULINE SPACE: THE EXPERIENCES OF WOMEN IN MALE-DOMINATED ENVIRONMENTS IN THE STATE OF QATAR

Background: The experiences of women, especially those in male-dominated environments in Qatar, may either be positive or negative. It is an arising topic in the 21st century to hopefully remediate gendered barriers and acknowledge womens struggles in the workplace. Method: This research utilizes a qualitative approach specifically, it uses the phenomenological approach to deeply understand the participants experiences, which are Filipina workers who are working in male-dominated environments. The phenomenology aims to answer the central question: What are the experiences of Filipina migrant workers in a male-dominated profession? The researchers used 25 semi-structured interview questions to obtain the data needed, transcribing, and analyzing the studys themes. Findings: Findings show that we can categorize the lived experiences of Filipina workers in male-dominated environments into four main themes: Cultural Adaptation, Foreign Circumstances, Work Difficulties, and Professional Adjustments. Women in male-dominated environments face various challenges however, these challenges are vital in helping women adapt to their work environment and succeed. Conclusion:Women have been eradicating gender norms and are fighting to normalize treating men and women as equals in the workforce, despite these gendered barriers. Recommendation:The paper recommends interviewing female migrant workers with diverse nationalities and focusing on females specific work and working status in different male-dominated institutions.
Business Process Improvement Using Service Blueprint Method on Sharia Account Opening PT Bank Syariah XYZ

This paper describes how the Service Blueprint method can be used to improve the business process of Sharia account opening in PT Bank Syariah XYZ. In this era of connectivity and digitalization, customers do not want to be faced with the complicated process, including a process in account opening. By using the Service Blueprint method, we can sort out which activities provide non-value added, identify potential service failures and risk of excessive wait. This paper proposes a new service design that can eliminate non-valued added activities, reduce the number of service failures and reduce cycle time, so it can increase productivity and customer satisfaction. By using qualitative and quantitative research methods through indepth interview with Bank Officials and survey to 403 repondents, it can be known which activities are bottlenecks and potentially lead to service failure. Based on this, the authors propose a new service design using digitalization with regard to customer preferences in opening accounts. Beside reducing time delivery in opening account, this new design also has an impact on cost reduction.

Disporre del passato: contributi della psicologia allo studio della memoria nella relazione sociale / To dispose of the past: contributions of psychology to the study of memory in the social relationship

L’articolo propone alcune riflessioni sull’apporto che gli studi psicologici possono fornire agli storici che intendano operare a contatto diretto con i mutamenti della mentalita e delle appartenenze. Mettendo in dialogo contributi di psicologia cognitiva, di storia della psicologia e di epistemologia della storia, vengono ricostruite le dinamiche essenziali del processo mnestico, chiarendo le modalita attraverso cui la memoria intesse un rapporto di interdipendenza e di continua costruzione e ricostruzione con gli individui, i gruppi e la collettivita piu in generale. The article proposes some reflections on the contribution that psychological studies can provide to historians who intend to operate in direct contact with changes in mentality and belonging. By bringing together contributions from the cognitive psychology, the history of psychology and the epistemology of history, the essential dynamics of the memory process are reconstructed, clarifying the ways in which memory weaves a relationship of interdependence and continuous construction and reconstruction with individuals, groups and the community
Cadmium Toxicity and some Target Organs: A Review

Cadmium is dangerous pollutant in environment because it is difficult to excrete out of the body. It causes disease in humans and animals. When the body absorbs large quantities of cadmium or when constantly exposed to small quantities, it is toxic to the body. Cadmium affects many parts of the body, the most important of which are the liver, kidneys, lungs, and testes. Both the liver and the kidney are considered organs to excrete toxins, such as heavy metals. Therefore, they are most influenced by cadmium. This study focuses on the toxicity of cadmium in the liver, kidneys, lungs and testes and its toxic effects on the histological, cellular, and functional level of each organ. We will discuss the mechanism through which cadmium causes damage to the organs of the body and the interaction that results from it.
Avaliação do potencial de mitigação das mudanças climáticas com o uso de colmos de bambu na construção civil brasileira

Among the non-conventional materials used in the construction sector, bamboo has potential for application due to its mechanical properties, fast growth, low cost, great availability and CO2 sequestration and storage capacity. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the potential of climate change impact reduction with the use of bamboo culms applied in housing. The Dynamic Life Cycle Assessment (DLCA) methodology was employed. The functional unit chosen was: "1 meter of Phyllostachys pubescens culm with minimum compressive strength of 46 MPa and a service life of two years". Greenhouse gas emissions were quantified at the following stages: plantation, cut of the culm, treatment and its transportation to different locations in the country. Three different end-of-life scenarios were considered: (1) recycling, (2) landfilling and (3) incineration. The production data of the culms were associated with the number of the future Brazilian housing deficit, adopting the application of culms as scaffold for the construction of dwellings. In the end, it was possible to map which Brazilian regions are the most suitable for the use of these bamboo culms. The use of culms as scaffold to overcome the Brazilian housing deficit between 2020 and 2040 can result in -0.10 MtCO2-eq (Recycling) to +0.08 MtCO2eq (Incineration). For negative emission scenarios, the use of bamboo culms can be seen as a strategy of climate compensation, thus an important reason for the incentive of bamboo in the construction sector.

FLASH CHROMATOGRAPHY: AN OVERVIEW

Flash chromatography is a rapid purification technique used to purify compounds of wide ranging polarity; often reaction mixtures, where the target (synthesized) molecule must be separated from excess reagents and reaction by-products. It is an established technique that can have a very positive impact on productivity in the pharmaceutical research and development chemistry laboratory . Finding the optimal conditions for a normal phase or reverse phase Flash-LC separation can be a laborious process. The aim of this work was to develop a screening system to enable automated, rapid and reliable method development for preparative Flash chromatography.
Personal information management systems: a user-centric privacy utopia?

Personal information management systems (PIMS) aka personal data stores (PDSs) represent an emerging class of technology that seeks to empower individuals regarding their data. Presented as an alternative to current ‘centralised’ data processing approaches, whereby user data is (rather opaquely) collected and processed by organisations, PDSs provide users with technical mechanisms for aggregating and managing their own data, determining when and with whom their data is shared, and the computation that may occur over that data. Though arguments for decentralisation may be appealing, there are questions regarding the extent to which PDSs actually address data processing concerns. This paper explores these questions from the perspective of PDS users. Specifically, we focus on data protection, including how PDSs relate to rights and the legal bases for processing, as well as how PDSs affect the information asymmetries and surveillance practices inherent online. We show that, despite the purported benefits of PDSs, many of the systemic issues of online/data ecosystems remain.
Effect of salt concentration and temperature on the rheological properties of guar gum-dead sea salt gel

Dead Sea Salt (DSS) contains 21 minerials including magnesium, calcium, sulfur, bromide, iodine, sodium, zinc and potassium etc. On the other hand, Guar Gum (GG) is a natural polysaccharide, water soluble, having highest molecular weight and good gelling property. Due to such advantageous properties of DSS and GG, it has been taken interest to prepare a user friendly medicated gel (designated as GG-DSS gel) adding additional ingredients:e.g. Glycerol, Thymol, Ethanol, Seabuckthorn oil, and essencial oils for the improvment of the gel’s medicated values and healing properties for the curing of general skin diseases/treatment. In this study, the viscoelastic behavior of GG-DSS gels were characterized by dynamic storage (G’) and loss (G”) moduli and complex viscosity as a function of angular frequency. The effect of DSS concentration and temperature on these properties of GG-DSS gels was investigated. All GG-DSS gels having different amount DSS shows G’ higher than G” over a wide range of angular frequency.

Perceptive Risk Clusters of European Citizens and NPI Compliance in Face of the COVID-19 Pandemics

Despite promising announcements on an effective vaccine, the control of the COVID-19 pandemic is critically dependent on the maximal compliance of citizens to a set of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI for short). We use statistical clustering to partition European citizens with regards to their perceptive risks and social attitudes during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and find ten segments to predict, both the extent and mix of protective behaviors adopted. Those segments demonstrate a clear divide in the population, with on one extreme, a segment (standing for 8% of the population) that is self-centered and exhibits low self-risk perception as well as low NPI compliance. The other extreme is composed of a segment (11% of the population) that is more socially oriented, and quite responsive to all protective measures. As data are survey-based, we adjust responses based on information gap (by reaction time, RT, measurement) of both worry expression and NPI compliance, to confirm the robustness of our results. Further, we extend the notion of worries to be not only health-related but to include financial risk (like losing a job) as well as psychological worries (e.g., feeling alone, or being unable to meet with family and friends), as they prove to drive different NPI behaviors among the population.
Role of Exercise Testing and Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Paradoxical Severe Aortic Stenosis

Introduction The clinical behavior and prognosis of patients with asymptomatic paradoxical low-gradient aortic stenosis (PLGAS) still remain controversial. Some authors consider PLGAS as an echocardiographically poorly quantified moderate AS (MAS). We aimed to investigate the clinical behavior of PLGAS by comparing it with that of asymptomatic high-gradient aortic stenosis (HG-AS) and MAS using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with speckle tracking imaging (STI) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). The hypothesis of our study is, unlike that described by other authors, to demonstrate the existence of clinical and echocardiographic differences between PLGAS and MAS. Methods A cohort of 113 patients was included and categorized into three groups according to AS type: MAS (n=63), HG-AS (n=29), and PLGAS (n=21). Patients’ clinical data were obtained. Patients underwent 2D TTE with STI and CPET. Results There were no significant differences in the clinical variables between the three AS groups. In the multivariate multinomial logistic regression analysis, with PLGAS being the reference category, the most powerful variable for establishing a difference with HG-AS was the left ventricular mass (LVM) indexed by body-surface area (odds ratio [OR]=1.04, confidence interval (CI)=1.01-1.06, p<0.05). The MAS group showed less abnormal CPET (OR=0.198, CI=0.06-0.69, p<0.05), and higher left ventricle global longitudinal strain rate (GLSR) (OR=0.003, CI=0.00-0.35, p<0.05) than the PLGAS group. Conclusions TTE with STI and CPET established the clear differences between patients with asymptomatic PLGAS and those with asymptomatic MAS, as well as the similarities between patients with PLGAS and those with HG-AS. Our data identify PLGAS as a completely different entity from MAS.
Dinâmicas da agenda de políticas públicas na América Latina: oportunidades teóricas e empíricas

Abstract The Comparative Agendas Project (CAP) collects, organizes, and makes freely available millions of bits of information concerning the objects of government attention over long periods of time (often back to the Second World War) for more than 25 political systems, worldwide. As researchers affiliated with the CAP expand their projects into Latin America, they confront some challenges similar to those from other regions, and some unique to their national political systems. In this introductory essay, we explore the background of the CAP and the opportunities posed by its expansion into Latin American political systems.
The effects of forest edge and nest height on nest predation in a U.K. deciduous forest fragment

It has been previously hypothesised that nest predation is higher at forest edges. This has important conservation implications for the increasingly fragmented U.K. climax community. I aimed to test the generality of this edge effect in a mixed deciduous forest fragment which borders open grassland. Artificial nests containing a combination of quail and plasticine eggs were used, at ground and arboreal levels. I found an overall edge effect on nest predation rates, however this effect was not specifically seen in ground nests. Ground nests experienced significantly higher levels of predation than arboreal nests. I suggest this edge effect is due in part to the steep productivity gradient over the ecotone.
