Authors: Hussein Abdulhakeem D. , Mohammed Manal Q. , Hussein Hajer , Mejbil Hajer A.
Published: March 2023

Back Ground: Amylases are a group of enzymes that hydrolyze starch into simple sugars. Amylase is secreted in the human body from saliva and the pancreas. Abnormal levels of the enzyme amylase indicate pancreatitis. Enzyme purification eliminates various proteins and other forms of biomolecules while restoring the majority of enzyme activity.

Objectives: Isolation and purification of the alpha-amylase enzyme from the serum of a patient with pancreatitis and a healthy human, and estimation of the values ​​of Michalis constant Km as well as the maximum velocity Vmax to determine the affinity of the enzyme towards the substrate in both cases.

Materials and Methods: The enzyme was purified by several steps, including precipitation, by adding ammonium sulfate at a concentration of 30-70%, then dialysis. The extract was transferred through the separation column by gel chromatography containing Sephadex G100 gel.

Results: The gel separation chromatography results indicated the appearance of four protein bands, one of which (the third peak) belongs to the amylase enzyme. The specific activity of the enzyme in the last step after concentration of the product was 38 units/gm for the patient and 11.62 U/gm for a healthy human. The yield was 44.67% and 50.53%, while the number of purification times was 9.11 and 9.3 for the patient and the healthy human, respectively. The kinetic constants (Km and Vmax) were estimated using the Leinweaver-Burke plot, Vmax for the patient and the healthy human was 149.3 and 83.3, respectively. the Km for the patient and the healthy human was 1.39 and 2.56, respectively.

Conclusion: It is inferred from the results that the affinity of the enzyme to bind to the substrate of patient with pancreatitis is higher than that of the healthy human.

Viral Vaccine Strategies
Authors: Khalaf Noorulhuda F.
Published: March 2023

Background: Lately, many viruses emerged or re-emerged from the obscurity and became considerable threats to the global health, raising alarms concerning their constant epidemic transmissions. A very important public health concern of those viruses is the continuous circulation amongst the population of the immunologically naive, susceptible hosts. With each one of the new viral emergences or re-emergences, there appears a call for a fast development of a vaccination and induction of a protective immunity thus could be one of the most powerful tools for the prevention of that concern through conferring the protection to the endangered population.

  Vaccinations have been considered one of the crucial components of disease preventions towards the emerging virus infections due to the fact that, often, other options for the medical solutions are non-existent or limited. Whereas the conventional methods for developing a vaccination remain amenable to the emerging viruses, advents of the newest technologies in the molecular methods have a profound influence on the understanding of the biology of the viruses, as well as immune responses and methods of vaccination that are based upon attenuated, replicating, and non-replicating virus vector methods became beneficial platforms for vaccination.

Conclusion: In combination with a continuous understanding in biology of the newly appearing viral illnesses, a many different recent strategies of vaccination have been developed for protecting from the re-emerging and new viruses could become possible. It was found that the biggest challenge in all strategies used in the preparation of viral vaccines is to find vaccines that have a low cost, are highly specialized, and have high efficiency for the purpose of confronting emerging viral diseases.  In this paper we focus on different viral vaccines strategies.
A Brief Review of the History of Global and Croatian Neurosurgery
Authors: Splavski Bruno
Published: March 2023

Neurosurgery is the oldest, but also the youngest medical discipline. Namely, archaeological findings confirm the existence of cranial bone trepanations in the Late Stone Age, while neurosurgery as a separate discipline was founded only at the beginning of the 20th century. Descriptions of head/spinal injuries, and trepanations, date back to ancient Egypt (Edwin Smith papyrus) and physicians like Hippocrates, the Alexandrian school, and Galen, who described his classification of cranial fractures, perfected trepanation and contributed to neuroanatomy and physiology. Unfortunately, with his disappearance, the study of the central nervous system ceased during the next millennium. Medieval contribution to neurosurgery is due to the work of Arab and Persian physicians (Albucasis, Avicenna), who collected, preserved, and improved the medical knowledge of ancient times, including neuroscience. With the arrival of the Renaissance in the early 16th century, significant advances in anatomy, medicine, surgery, and neuroscience began. Berengario da Carpi, Andreas Vesalius, and Ambroise Paré stood out as progenitors of this era. During the 19th century, at a time of progress in medicine and surgery, preconditions were created for more extensive and long-lasting neurosurgical procedures, while the era of modern neurosurgery began in the early 20th century with the pioneering activities of MacEwan, Horsley, Cushing, Elsberg, Dandy and many others. Further progress in neurosurgery was made through the use of an operating microscope, which from 1965 marked the era of modern microneurosurgery, founded by Yaşargil. The beginnings of neurosurgical activity in Croatia date back to the end of the 19th century when Theodor Wickerhauser published a record of the first craniotomy done in our country in 1886. In conclusion, modern neurosurgery as one of the most advanced medical professions is based on the achievements of its historical leaders, and on the cutting-edge diagnostic and surgical armamentaria, together with the superior neurosurgical service organization.

Female Representation on Banknotes: A Semiotic Analysis of 2022 Indonesia Banknotes
Authors: Hadylaya Michael Herdi
Published: March 2023

Besides their economic value, banknotes have a symbolic value through an expression of cultural identity that forms a nation. Generally, the customary design of banknotes in most countries issued by financial authorities is the portrait of notable male leaders. This research examined the banknotes for the 2022 emission yearissued by Bank Indonesia to emphasize the frequent representation of male and female images used in the issued currency. Using the interpretivism paradigm with semiotic methods, this research found that on the surface, Indonesian banknotes in the 2022 emission year seem to show a sense of appreciation for women and femininity in Indonesia but in essence still lack a sense of justice towards women.

Authors: Kurere William
Published: March 2023

This research aimed to analyze the influence of strategic leadership on the operational efficiency of the County Government of Kenya: a case of Baringo County. The investigation was based on a study by Curteanu and Constantin (2010). This study adopted a descriptive research design. The target population of the study was the 33 members of top management in the County Government of Baringo. The justification for the choice of the county Chief Officers and County Directors is that they are directly in charge of the implementation of the county government strategic plan and operations under their dockets. The researcher took a census of all the thirty-three members of top management (Chief Officers and Directors) by means of self-administered questionnaires. First, there was empirical evidence to prove that resource allocation influenced the operational efficiency of the County Government of Baringo. Secondly, it confirmed that there was empirical evidence to prove that integrity and ethical issues influenced the operational efficiency of the County Government of Baringo. Thirdly, the study established that strategic control influenced the operational efficiency of the County Government of Baringo. Finally, there was empirical evidence to prove that organizational culture influenced the operational efficiency of the County Government of Baringo. The study recommended that the office of the Auditor General should use the results from this investigation to update the management policy of the County Governments as a means of helping the County Governments to achieve more operational efficiency for optimal service delivery and optimized value for money in the County Governments in Kenya. Again, the study recommends that the County Assemblies, in their role of oversight and legislation, should also use the findings from the study to make laws that will enable the County Governments to enhance their performance and governance and be more operationally efficient. Such legislation should encompass resource allocations and internal control principles. Finally, County Chief Officers and County Directors, being senior managers charged with investment portfolios, are subject to fiduciary laws with strict requirements and controls. Therefore, the findings from this study are relevant to inform their undertaking.

Published: March 2023

De lo oscuro, de la profundidad de un alma, salen los poemas de este libro. Partiendo de esa siempre presente herencia del surrealismo, un poeta del Tolima elabora una poesía que no deja de ser nuestra. Con frecuencia la poesía de estos tiempos es pura floritura, un malabarismo de palabras, lo que encontramos en Consumaciones es una palabra hecha de verdad, que en poesía quiere decir una palabra que ha encontrado la subterránea fuente de agua. Son estos unos poemas de no fácil acceso, sin embargo el lector sabe que allí hay algo hondo, sugerido por unos versos de inusitada frescura: “Mientras la tarde se toma el cuerpo de mi padre, / él penetra a un universo esquivo, como un viejo ángel que no sabe de su materia”. O “No estoy seguro si la belleza se escribe pero a través de mis letras se cumplen tus formas, / los humos de tu voz, la gracia de tu acento, / el extraño equilibrio de tus pies desnudos”
Celeste vicio de mis días
Authors: Naizara Rodriguez Hortensia
Published: March 2023

En este libro resulta sustancial la meditación sobre la poesía misma, sobre la creación del poema, y entreverando en ello la imagen del tejido como centro de elaboración, de unificación; va en todo esto la respiración de un imaginario femenino que hace del amor uno de sus vertimientos predilectos. Aun cuando estén la soledad, las inevitables ausencias, los puentes luminosos pero transitorios del amor, hay, por sobre todo ello, eso que Freud nombró bellamente como “sentimiento oceánico”, sentimiento de participatividad, de efusión casi mística, que dulcifica las negaciones y finalmente se resuelve en cordialidad de la palabra. De allí esa cuota de sueño en la configuración de Celeste vicio de mis días, en el juego de las imágenes. De sueño, de buen sueño.

Apparent treatment resistant hypertension. The drug could be culprit
Authors: Okeahialam Basil Nwaneri
Published: March 2023

Treatment of hypertension to goal should be the goal if its morbi-mortality consequences are to be curtailed. Notwithstanding, this ideal however, sub-optimal control plagues clinical practice largely due to non-adherence, adverse side-effects, and outright intolerance. When there is apparent treatment failure, the tendency is to consider these. If adjudged to be resistant or refractory to treatment, device therapy is contemplated notwithstanding cost implications and its invasive nature. Little attention is paid to the phenomenon of paradoxical hypertension, wherein in the presence of certain antihypertensives, blood pressure actually rises rather than falls. How much of this that occurs in clinical practice is not exactly known, but continuing to add new drug classes or increase doses in such situations will increase cost and possibility of side effects without optimal control. Target organ damages would persist with worse outcomes. The evolving area of pharmacogenomics is showing that for some genetic reasons, certain individuals would respond to certain drugs and not others. This may manifest in the occasional instances of paradoxical rise in blood pressure with the introduction of certain blood pressure drug classes. The authors encountered a few such cases and considered them of interest to other clinicians who manage difficult to treat hypertension. When hypertension treatment is sub-optimal especially rising with new drug introduction, it may be worth switching drugs just in case a paradoxical response to a drug class is responsible for non-response.
Generative Music Theory in Relation to the Schenkerian and Riemannian Traditions
Authors: Лердал А.У.
Published: March 2023

Генеративная теория музыки относит теорию музыки к разделу когнитивистики и, через посредство системы <определенных> правил, моделирует структуры, которые слушатель имплицитно выводит из поверхностной музыкальной структуры. В данной работе обсуждаются сходства и различия между этим подходом и двумя крупнейшими предшествующими подходами в истории теории музыки, изложенными в трудах Генриха Шенкера и Хуго Римана. Анализ песни Шумана помогает выявить осязаемые различия в упомянутых подходах более основательно.

Generative music theory treats music theory as a branch of cognitive science and, through a rule system, models the structures that listeners implicitly infer from a musical surface. This paper discusses commonalities and differences between this approach and those of two major predecessors in the history of music theory, Schenker and Riemann. An analysis of a Schumann song helps make the comparisons tangible.

В статье рассматриваются особенности художественного течения «Новая волна» в Китае (с 1980-х годов до наших дней), их проявление в творчестве известного композитора Сюй Чанцзюня. На примере его пьесы «Тишина», в которой находят отражение даосское и буддийское понимание философских категорий «молчания» и «пустоты», показаны принципы сочетания элементов древней китайской музыки и современных композиторских техник.

The article considers the features of the New wave movement in China (from 1980s up to the present day) and their embodiment in the works of the famous composer Xu Changjun. On the example of his play "Silence" in which the Taoist and Buddhist understanding of philosophical categories of "silence" and "emptiness" find their reflection, the principles of a combination of elements of ancient Chinese music and modern techniques of composition are shown.
Magnetic Coupling Control in Triangulene Dimers
Authors: Yu Hongde , Heine Thomas
Published: March 2023

Triangulenes with inherent spin polarization are promising candidates for realizing metal-free magnetism. However, controlling and enhancing the magnetic interactions between the monomers are required for their application in molecular spintronics. Herein, we investigate 24 triangulene dimers using first-principles calculations and demonstrate their tunable magnetic coupling (J), achieving strong J values of up to -128 meV. We further establish a positive correlation between bandgap, electronic coupling and antiferromagnetic interaction. By twisting the molecular fragments, we regulate and boost the J at planar configurations. We realize ferromagnetic coupling in nitrogen-doped triangulene dimers at both planar and largely twisted configurations, representing the first example of ferromagnetic triangulene dimers. We provide a practical strategy for enhancing magnetic coupling and open up new avenues for metal-free ferromagnetism.

Published: March 2023

El desarrollo de la creatividad en los estudiantes se ha convertido en uno de los asuntos centrales de los procesos de formación, dado que le permite al estudiante crear desde el pensamiento posibilidades de abordar la realidad de maneras distintas; con la intención de intervenir sobre estas, generando cambios y transformaciones. Por ello, se hace necesaria una reflexión sobre la relación enseñanza- aprendizaje, para lograr modificar algunas prácticas en el aula en pro del desarrollo de la creatividad. De dicha reflexión surgió este trabajo investigativo, con el objetivo de evaluar si la metodología del aprendizaje basado en proyectos (ABP) permitía aumentar la creatividad en los estudiantes. La investigación se desarrolló en dos fases: en la primera, se aplicó el cuestionario de creatividad CREA de Corbalán (2003) a 178 estudiantes de Psicología, de primer año y último año, y se observó que no había diferencias en la creatividad de los grupos de estudiantes. En la segunda fase, se desarrolló la metodología de ABP bajo un enfoque constructivista, donde los estudiantes asumen un rol activo.

Las musáceas son muy importantes para fines de alimentación a nivel mundial, en el Ecuador estas ocupan el 20,57 % de la superficie plantada, siendo el cantón El Carmen, uno de los principales sitios dedicados a esta explotación. Por otra parte, Ralstonia solanacearum, es la causante de la enfermedad conocida como Moko de plátano, la cual puede desaparecer el 100 % de una plantación. El objetivo fue, realizar una caracterización morfológica y bioquímica de R. solanacearum Raza 2, bacteria patógena en cultivos de banano y plátano en El Carmen, Manabí, Ecuador. El análisis bioquímico y morfológico, se realizó en los laboratorios de la Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas-ESPE considerando los protocolos establecidos por diversos autores, las muestras se tomaron de plantaciones de plátano y banano (suelo y pseudotallo georeferenciadas), con síntomas de infección del Moko. Como resultado, se identificó virulencia en la mitad de las muestras, se confirmó que la bacteria es Gram negativa, en forma de bacilo, positiva a catalasa, indol negativa, con carácter oxidativo (energía en medios anaeróbicos); y fermentativos de lactosa y glucosa, sin presencia de ácido sulfhídrico, quien no fue capaz de hidrolizar almidón, in vitro; se confirmó que la temperatura de 4°C y pH de 4,5 inhiben el aumento de estas poblaciones bacterianas, sin embargo, los rangos de 25 y 37°C con pH de 6,5 a 8,5 no resultaron ser restrictivos para su propagación, por lo que se afirma, que El Carmen cumple con los estándares requeridos, para que el patógeno prolifere de manera óptima.
La territorialización de la lucha de las comunidades indígenas por el desarrollo en el municipio de Ayutla de los Libres, Guerrero (México), 2011-2021

Esta investigación analiza la territorialización de la lucha de las comunidades indígenas por el desarrollo en el municipio de Ayutla de los Libres, en Guerrero, México, como punto de partida, y de llegada, de un proceso de cambio político para revertir las condiciones de marginación social imperantes en las comunidades indígenas. A través de un diseño de estudio de caso, sustentado en el trabajo de campo, el seguimiento de redes sociodigitales, la obtención de datos abiertos oficiales y la geolocalización de los resultados, se encontró que esta territorialización supuso el despliegue, mediado por la llegada del Concejo Comunitario al gobierno municipal de Ayutla, de dos procesos de afirmación espacial interrelacionados: la conformación de un territorio acotado culturalmente mediante la politización de la etnicidad y la producción de espacio, que permitió a la lucha por el desarrollo alcanzar una territorialización efectiva mediante la construcción de obra pública a nivel municipal. Por tanto, esta territorialización de la lucha ha de ser entendida como un curso multifacético en el que se imbrican una dimensión político-cultural y una político-material, en distintas escalas y temporalidades.
Türkiye’nin İİT Üyeleri İle Ticaretinde Linder Hipotezi’nin Geçerliliği / The Validity of the Linder Hypothesis in Turkey's Trade with The Members of The OIC
Authors: YÜKSEL Halit Gökhan
Published: March 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2002-2021 döneminde Türkiye’nin İslam İşbirliği Teşkilatı (İİT) üyelerinden 37’si ile olan dış ticaretinde Linder Hipotezi’nin geçerliliğini analiz etmektir. Uluslararası ticareti talep yönünden inceleyen Linder’e göre, talep yapıları benzer olan ülkelerin aralarında daha fazla ticaret gerçekleşmektedir. Talep yapılarının benzerlik durumları ise ortalama gelir seviyesiyle ele alınabilmektedir. Bu kapsamda, Türkiye’nin İİT üyeleriyle olan ikili ticareti genişletilmiş panel çekim modeliyle incelenmektedir. Analizde zamanla değişen değişkenlerin yanı sıra, zamanla değişmeyen değişkenleri de tahmin edebilme olanağı sunan Hausman-Taylor yöntemi kullanılmaktadır. Yapılan tahmin sonuçlarına göre, ilk olarak çekim modeli ile uyumlu şekilde, Türkiye’nin üye ülkelerle dış ticaretine Türkiye’nin ve ticaret partneri ülkenin kişi başına düşen GSYH büyüklüklerinin pozitif, ülkeler arasındaki mesafenin ise negatif yönde etki yaptığı anlaşılmıştır. İkinci olarak, Türkiye’nin söz konusu ülkelerle ikili ticaretinde Linder Hipotezi’nin geçerli olduğu dikkat çekmektedir. Son olarak, söz konusu ikili ticarette ortak sınır ve serbest ticaret anlaşmalarına ilişkin kukla değişkenlerin anlamsız olduğu görülmektedir.

Üretim ve lojistik süreçlerinde çevreye verilen zararlar ve oluşan atıklar, ömrü tamamlanan veya tüketici tarafından artık tercih edilmeyen ürünlerin atık olarak değerlendirilmesi, doğada kendi başına çözünmesinin beklenmesi doğa ve
toplum için zarar verici faaliyetler olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu açıdan da işletmelerin üretimlerinde, lojistik süreçlerinde ve ömrü tamamlanmış ürünleri ele almalarında çevreyi düşünerek “yeşil” felsefesine bağlı hareket
etmeleri; yeşil uygulamaları benimsemeleri ve toplumları bu konuda bilinçlendirerek, toplumdan gelecek talepleri de en üst seviyede uygulayabiliyor olmaları gerekmektedir. Yeşil uygulamaların temelini oluşturan yeşil lojistik çevreyi
koruma ve doğada kayıp olarak değerlendirilen unsurların geri kazanımı veya kayıpların azaltılması için çabaları tanımlama ve organize etmede yüksek oranda önemlidir. Özellikle ürün taşıması aşamasında çevreye verilen zararın bertaraf
edilmesine odaklanmasıyla büyük bir katkı sağladığı bilinen yeşil lojistik, devlet politikaları ile işletmeler ve tüketiciler nezdinde de dikkat çekmektedir. Devlet politikaları söz konusu olduğunda işletmeler de üretim ve taşıma
süreçlerini buna göre yönlendirmektedir. Ayrıca tüketicinin her geçen gün bilinçlenmesi ve tüketimini yaptığı ürünlerin çevreye duyarlı bir süreçle gerçekleştiğinden emin şekilde tüketici ürünün kendisine ulaştırılmasını beklemektedir.
Bu çalışma yeşil lojistik kavramını detayları ile ele alarak ülkeler açısından yürütülen projeleri, sürelerini ve bütçe miktarlarını ele almış; yeşil lojistik kavramını alt başlıkları ile beraber vurgulamayı amaçlamıştır. Ayrıca
sektörel uygulamalarda ele alınarak mevcut durumun ortaya konulması hedeflenmiştir.

Published: March 2023

Panik satın alma davranışı tüketicilerin beklenmedik durumlara gösterdiği bir tepki veya savunma şeklidir. İlgili literatür incelendiğinde bu alanda yapılan araştırmaların salgın hastalık gibi sıra dışı dönemlere yönelik yoğunlaştığı
görülmektedir. Ancak afet gibi olağan dışı durumların yanında, enflasyonun yaşandığı piyasa ortamı da panik satın almaya neden olabilmektedir. Çünkü bu piyasa şartlarında, fiyatlarına artacağına, talebin aşırı olacağına veya ürün
kıtlığı yaşanacağına yönelik algılamalar oluşmakta ve bunlar tüketicilerin yaşamlarında önlemler almasına neden olmaktadır. Dolayısıyla insanların refahını olumsuz etkileyen ve piyasa dengelerini bozabilen panik satın alma davranışının,
enflasyonist ortam bakımından da incelenmesine ihtiyaç vardır. Bu çalışmada, düzenli ve yüksek fiyat artışlarının yaşandığı piyasa şartlarında panik satın alma davranışını etkileyen başlıca faktörleri ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır.
Bu doğrultuda; öz yeterlilik, çıktı değeri, algılanan kıtlık ve öngörülen pişmanlık değişkenlerinin bu davranışa etkisini test etmek üzere Kırıkkale ilinde online anket yöntemi ile birincil veriler toplanarak, SPSS paket programında
analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın veri analizi kapsamında; soru formundaki ifadeleri test etmek üzere güvenirlilik ve faktör analizi; hipotezleri test etmek üzere ise çoklu regresyon analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Buna göre; enflasyonist
ortamda öz yeterlilik, çıktı değeri ve algılanan kıtlık değişkenlerinin panik satın almayı etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, algılanan kıtlık ve çıktı değerinin panik satın almaya etkisinde öngörülen pişmanlığın aracı rol üstlendiği
tespit edilmiştir. Son olarak araştırmacılara öneriler geliştirilmiştir.

Published: March 2023

Dynamic resistance is one of the most common and important signals used to monitor and control the resistance spot welding (RSW) process. However, existing studies on the signal evolution mechanism are limited to qualitative analysis, resulting in an ambiguous interpretation of the formation mechanism for the signal features. In this paper, a collaborative simulation approach was applied for the RSW of bare DP590 steel to obtain high-precision computation of the temperature and potential distributions inside the weld. On this basis, an analytical mapping model between the dynamic resistance signal and the weld profile was developed based on basic physical laws, and the signal evolution mechanism was quantitatively revealed through the model. It was found that the main factors determining the signal evolution trend are average sheet temperature and electrode/sheet contact diameter rather than the nugget growth process. The peak resistance feature was attributed to the bilinear relationship between sheet resistivity and temperature rather than nugget formation. The resistance drop after the peak mainly arose from the increase of the electrode/sheet contact diameter rather than nugget growth. This study can help improve the comprehension of the dynamic resistance signal and the interpretability of some data-driven methods used for RSW quality monitoring and control.
Sequential treatment process in a rotary container polishing machine with periodic workpiece location changes in working abrasives areas
Authors: Mateusz Juniewicz  , Jarosław Plichta
Published: March 2023

This paper presents the process of a 3-step machining process involving pre-treatment, smoothing and polishing, placing the workpiece in different energy levels of the working load in a rotary-cascade container smoother, by moving it towards the radial direction of the working chamber of the smoother. Studies show the ability to control the course of pre-treatment, smoothing and finishing intensity, both in terms of process parameters and treatment time. Such a structure of the machining process, it also allows you to influence the structure geometry of the machined surfaces in successive stages of machining, and consequently on the final quality. The proposed organization and structure of the process allows for the creation of a new one surface treatment strategy.
