Evolución y desafíos de las editoriales universitarias de El Salvador en la democratización del conocimiento
Authors: Hernández Escobar Norma Estela
Published: July 2022

Conjugar la producción científica académica de las universidades y el acceso abierto es un camino inevitable en la actualidad, antes de llegar la pandemia del COVID- 19 en 2020, el sector educativo ya venía equipándose con la tecnología que las nuevas generaciones de estudiantes demandaban. Pero el año 2020 fue el empujón definitivo para que las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) dieran el salto para impartir sus clases en línea en un 100 por ciento, la pandemia llego a cambiar todas las formas de socializar y el sector educativo no fue la excepción. Según la historia de las editoriales universitarias, inicio según el Acuerdo de creación de la Editorial Universitaria Estatal en 1958, posteriormente en 1975 se crea la Editorial de la Universidad Católica Centroamericana José Simeón Cañas (UCA). A finales de los 90 e inicio del nuevo siglo, surgen otras apuestas editoriales de universidades privadas como la Universidades Evangélica de El Salvador (UEES), Universidad Don Bosco (UDB), Universidad Francisco Gavidia (UFG), Universidad José Matías Delgado (UJMD), entre otras. Generalmente iniciaron con revistas científicas-académicas o anuarios de investigaciones en formatos impresos, que paulatinamente se fueron transformando en revistas electrónicas, que paso a paso han ido cumpliendo los criterios editoriales exigidos por los sitios indexadores internacionales.Además, algunas publican libros de especialidad, literarios y manuales de cátedra, cumpliendo con los requisitos legales, estructura física y recurso humano, ya no solo como un ejercicio académico de difusión esporádico, sino visualizando la internacionalización y democratización de lo generado a través de procesos editoriales bien definidos.

Existe información limitada sobre el cultivo de caracoles de agua dulce del orden Mesogastropoda y familia Ampullaridae en El Salvador. La mayoría de la población desconoce este recurso y los beneficios potenciales que tiene para la familia de las zonas rurales. El alojamiento y la densidad del caracol Pomacea flagellata Say fue evaluado durante 180 días en la Piscigranja de la Escuela de Biología de la Universidad de El Salvador. Los tratamientos fueron: tanque de asbesto con densidad de 1 caracol / 3 litros de agua, tanque de asbesto con 1 caracol / 6 litros de agua, recipientes plásticos con 1 caracol / 3 litros de agua y recipientes plásticos con 1 caracol / 6 litros de agua. Se utilizó el diseño estadístico completamente al azar, con cinco repeticiones por tratamiento. La cantidad de caracoles por repetición varió según la densidad. La regresión lineal se usó para conocer la relación entre peso y tamaño. Además se realizó un análisis  bromatológico y un parasitológico. Las variables evaluadas fueron: peso, tamaño, sobrevivencia, rendimiento de material comestible y comparación de peso con tamaño. También se realizó una comparación económica (presupuesto parcial). No se observó diferencia significativa en peso y tamaño. En el rendimiento se obtuvo significancia estadística (p=0.028) y el valor mayor fue 59.44% en recipientes plásticos con 1 caracol / 6 litros de agua. La mayor sobrevivencia correspondió al recipiente plástico con 1 caracol / 3 litros de agua con un 97.95%. Se obtuvo una relación lineal positiva entre el peso y el tamaño (r²=0.96, 0.96 y 0.95% para altura, diámetro y eje de la concha, respectivamente). En el presupuesto parcial todos los tratamientos resultaron con beneficios netos negativos, debido a las bajas densidades, el costo de los alojamientos y transporte. Según el análisis bromatológico, la proteína y grasa en base seca del material comestible fueron 51.50 % y 5.60 %, respectivamente. En el parasitológico únicamente se observaron quistes de amibas de vida libre de Endolimax nana. La principal conclusión fue: el peso y tamaño de los caracoles durante el crecimiento fue similar estadísticamente para todos los tratamientos.

poesía de Ernesto Mejía y sus vínculos con la estética del romanticismo: una aproximación comparativa
Authors: Ruiz Víctor
Published: July 2022

Partiendo de un enfoque comparativo, en el siguiente trabajo interpretativo se analiza la poesía de Ernesto Mejía Sánchez y sus vínculos estéticos con tres poetas del romanticismo europeo: Novalis, Charles Baudelaire y Stéphane Mallarmé. La relación de Novalis con el nicaragüense se ve reflejada en la concepción de la poesía como magia, ritual y embrujo, así también en la importancia que Mejía Sánchez atribuye a lo nocturno. Con Charles Baudelaire el vaso comunicante es el juego de las correspondencias y de la analogía. De Mallarmé, nuestro poeta tomará la visión del poema como un objeto artístico, es decir, libre de las ataduras del significado, ambos poetas imaginan al poema como un ejercicio del silencio y el vacío.

Cravados do tempo: entre territorialidades e conjugar partidas e(m) um tatear fotografias
Authors: Negretti Natalia
Published: July 2022

Este ensaio tateia entrelaçamentos de emoções e “interlocução partilhada”. A contar de um conjunto de imagens capturadas em dois cemitérios busco fazer memória em dois tempos: processos de luto e modos de lidar com as emoções em campo a partir de fotografias e plantas. Fotografias vinculadas a uma exposição e ao que poderia ser compreendida como uma dimensão externa da atividade etnográfica, mostram sua face permeável. A articulação entre jardins e cemitérios do trabalho artístico visitado se desdobrou em trajetos de temas com os quais eu lidava com aproximação e afastamento, respectivamente. O conjunto fotográfico, revisitado após a partida de Luara e Amanda, duas mulheres com quem partilhei interlocução, uniu, a um só tempo, a revisita do lidar com imagens e vegetais nos processos subjetivos, vínculos de plantas e fotografias como temas de trabalho vinculados à interlocução partilhada e atribuição de sentido aos dois espaços cemiteriais.
Antropologizando a cartografia afetiva: práticas de cuidado como formas de resistência e re-existência
Authors: Pereira Joselaine Raquel da Silva , Registro Milena
Published: July 2022

A cartografia afetiva é uma metodologia recém arquitetada desde uma abordagem transdisciplinar, que estabelece uma ponte entre os conhecimentos de diversas áreas das ciências humanas na tentativa de suprir as demandas evidenciadas pela chamada crise epistemológica. Nossa proposta é utilizar a cartografia afetiva a partir das lentes da antropologia, realçando as práticas de cuidado como centrais para o bem viver, de maneira que inclua os seres não humanos na conformação de uma circularidade do cuidado. Faremos uma relação entre a antropologia e a arte, tendo em vista a cartografia como uma expressão artística que se constrói com base nos encontros e nos afetos produzidos nos processos de territorialização. Consideramos que há uma relação intrínseca entre os corpos-territórios que são afetados pelas dinâmicas multisensoriais e por conflitos que se dão pela extrema valorização da ética positivista, desse ponto surgem ações de resistência que ressignificam a própria existência através do cuidado.

Radicalization has endured as a grave contemporary threat to peace in the world, given the constant rising numbers of terrorist attacks. Youth are at risk of radicalization and recruitment to militant groupings that carry out diverse forms of extreme violence. The surge of youth radicalization into violent extremism across the globe has become a worrying trend. Despite all the efforts to counter radicalization among the youths, more are still being radicalized. This study sought to investigate the role of forgiveness in countering youth radicalization into violent extremism in Eastleigh, Kenya. This study adopted mixed methods sequential explanatory design, combining experimental, correlational and phenomenological research methods. This study was conducted in Nairobi County, Kamukunji Sub- County, Eastleigh suburb, in St Theresa’s Catholic Church and Riyadh Mosque, since Churches and mosques traditionally are the center for community activities and ideas. The study employed both probability and non-probability sampling methods. The sample size for the study was 222 respondents comprising of 212 youths and 10 key informants. The review found that there was weak, negative and insignificant correlation between self-forgiveness and extremism. The study concluded that the level of forgiveness among the respondents was above average. The study recommends that the Heartland Forgiveness adds to the known levels of forgiveness by virtue of its different elements that can be measured. Dispositional forgiveness is likely to be a method that make it possible for people to turn their focus away from unfavourable personal responses to rewarding dimensions of their lives. Therefore, the tendency to forgive, as gauged by Heartland Forgiveness scale contributes to the existing comprehension of significant personality distinctions Keywords: Forgiveness, Radicalization, Youth & Violent Extremism
NGOisation in Exile: Necessity, Professionalisation, and Subjective Space in the Case of Syrian Women Activists in Berlin
Authors: Alhamed Hiba
Published: July 2022

This article aims to analyse the dynamics of NGOisation in the context of women’s mobilisation in exile. It focuses on Syrian women activists who were displaced to Berlin after 2011 as a result of the Syrian conflict. Based on twenty-two semi-structured interviews that were carried out and participant observations, the article analyses the professionalisation dynamics of mobilisation on both the individual and institutional levels, aiming to understand how this professionalisation may be impacting the work of women activists, while examining the functions it may be playing for Syrian activists and for the movement in general. The paper illustrates how the phenomenon of NGOisation plays a different, more complex role in the context of exile, by impeding the activist’s complete disengagement from the Syrian context. Through different types of activities such as advocacy, research, and service provision, NGOisation allows activists to remain part of the mobilisation for the rights of the Syrian people while providing them with a space for solidarity and support through their subjective and emotional engagements with other Syrian women.

Published: July 2022

The objective of this study was to evaluate the educational policy of citizen participation in regular basic education, aimed at the formation of a student political culture, in educational institutions in Chiclayo. It was proposed as a quantitative research, non-experimental design, descriptive cross-sectional type. Based on a sample made up of 298 fifth grade high school students in Educational Institutions of the Chiclayo District, who applied two questionnaires, one on educational policy of citizen participation, and another on political culture. Among the results, it was observed that 39% of the students presented a low level of citizen participation, from the perspective of knowledge and participatory intervention both inside and outside the institution. Likewise, 36% showed a regular level in political culture, in relation to the cognitive aspect, and high in the affective aspect. They did not know the mechanisms that exist to participate in public affairs, but despite this they showed interest in political issues. The implementation of an educational policy of citizen participation from regular basic education will contribute significantly to the formation of a student political culture in the educational institutions of Chiclayo.

Authors: Zhu Qianwen , Zhang Jianmin , Wang Xingnan , Fang Yueying
Published: July 2022

Background & Objective: To explore the influencing factors for cognitive impairment in patients with dorsolateral frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) and the correlation between cognitive function and abnormal electroencephalograms.
Methods: Eighty-two patients with dorsolateral FLE treated from April 2018 to April 2020 were selected. According to cognitive function test results, they were divided into a normal group (n=47) and an impairment group (n=35). Their general data were compared. The factors affecting cognitive function were assessed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. A nomogram prediction model was constructed for predicting cognitive impairment, and the predictive accuracy was assessed. The cognitive function and electroencephalogram results were compared. The correlation between abnormal electroencephalograms and cognitive function was analyzed.
Results: Onset age ≥20 years old, educational years ≤12 years, course of disease ≥8 years, seizure frequency ≥once every 4 months, seizure duration ≥1.5 min and medication type were independent risk factors influencing the cognitive function of patients with dorsolateral FLE. The nomogram prediction model was highly accurate for predicting cognitive impairment. The levels of directional memory, associative learning memory, free recall of images, re-recognition of meaningless images, recall of character features, digital symbol substitution test, verbal fluency test, and backward digital span test of the impairment group were significantly lower than those of the normal group, and the number of patients with abnormal electroencephalograms was remarkably larger in the former group. Abnormal electroencephalogram had a significant negative correlation with cognitive impairment.
Conclusion: Onset age, educational years, course of the disease, seizure frequency, seizure duration and medication type influence the cognitive function of patients with dorsolateral FLE. Abnormal electroencephalograms are closely correlated with cognitive function.

Published: July 2022

Background: Persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP) is one of the most challenging diseases to management. This retrospective comparative analysis is to compare the outcome of trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurolysis combined with sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) neurolysis versus SPG neurolysis. The neurolysis was performed under CT guidance with oxygen-ozone gas.
Methods: A retrospective clinical study was performed of retrospectively acquired data between January 2008 and January 2020 at our Pain Management Center. Patients were allocated into two groups; Group A: SPG neurolysis; Group B: TG neurolysis combined with SPG neurolysis. The baseline prognostic factors were equalized between the two groups using propensity score matching (PSM).
Results: A total of 84 patients were enrolled in the two groups. Based on pain assessment by visual analogue scale (VAS), there was significant reduction for Group B versus Group A by one week that persisted till 1 year. The treatment success rate in Group A was 85.2% (29 of 34), 64.7% (22 of 34), 52.9% (18 of 34), 58.8% (20 of 34) and 47.1% (16 of 34) at 1 day, 1 week, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after surgery, respectively. And in Group B was 94.1% (32 of 34), 82.4% (28 of 34), 70.6% (24 of 34), 76.5% (26 of 34), and 70.6% (24 of 34) respectively. No serious complications or side effects were observed.
Conclusions: CT-guided TG neurolysis combined with SPG neurolysis has a relatively better reduction of pain score than SPG neurolysis only.
A case of probable chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy presenting as unilateral lumbosacral plexopathy
Authors: Lim Julia , Abhishek Malhotra
Published: July 2022

Focal chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is rare but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic progressive neuropathy affecting a single limb. We report here a 66-year-old male presented with progressive right lower limb weakness and sensory deficits in keeping with a lower right lumbosacral plexopathy. His electrophysiological studies, whilst the distal motor latency and conduction velocities were within normal limits, showed marked asymmetry of right tibial and peroneal nerves with minimum F wave latency significantly prolonged on the right (greater than 120% upper limit of normal and also compared to the opposite side). This raised possibility of proximal demyelination. MRI with contrast revealed a diffused thickening of the right lumbosacral plexus and proximal right sciatic nerve. A lumbosacral plexus biopsy would have been helpful but was not undertaken due to patient’s preference. No alternative cause was detectable upon extensive investigation. Patient was initiated on intravenous immunoglobulin for probable focal CIPD and has remained stable over a short period of follow up. In conclusion, even though lower limb involvement has rarely been described in literature, focal CIDP should be considered as a differential diagnosis of patients with focal neuropathies including unilateral lumbosacral plexopathy.

Is there a relationship between upper limb function and swallowing function in children with cerebral palsy? A cross-sectional study
Authors: Guzel Sukran , Aykin Yigman Zeynep , Umay Ebru
Published: July 2022

Objective: Despite the association between gross motor and swallowing functions in patients with cerebral palsy (CP), there have been no studies examining the relationship between upper limb functions and swallowing in detail. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between upper extremity skills and swallowing function in children with CP.
Methods: The study included a total of 71 patients with CP who were attending the rehabilitation clinic. Upper limb functions were assessed using the Bimanual Fine Motor Function (BFMF) scale, and swallowing function with the Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS). The Nine-hole peg test (NPHT) was used to assess manual hand dexterity. Grip strength was measured with a Jamar hand dynamometer and pinchmeter. Correlation analysis was applied to outcome parameters.
Results: The BFMF classification was level 1 in 6 patients (8.5%), level 2 in 22 patients (31.0%), level 3 in 27 patients (38.0%), level 4 in 12 patients (16.9%) and level 5 in 4 patients (5.6%). Nutrition was provided through oral intake in 59 (83.1%) patients and 12 (16.9%) were tube dependent. While a negative correlation was determined between swallowing function and BFMF and NHPT, a positive correlation was determined between swallowing function and grip strength values.
Conclusions: The findings of this study demonstrated that there is a relationship between swallowing functions and upper limb functions. These findings may help in predicting functional improvement in terms of swallowing and/or if the patient needs further intervention such as upper limb rehabilitation in addition to oral motor training to improve oral intake, and thereby nutritional intake.
Is increased intracranial pressure a reason for headache in COVID-19 patients? Evaluation with optic nerve sheath diameter
Authors: Ozer simsek Zuhal , Guzeldag Seda , Ketenci Ertas Sule , Dincaslan Yasemin
Published: July 2022

Objective: Headache occurs in 10-15% of COVID-19 patients. The optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is an indirect measurement of the intracranial pressure (ICP). This study aimed to determine whether there was a relationship between ICP and headache in COVID-19 patients by measuring the ONSD.
Methods: The study included a total of 91 people: 68 COVID-19 patients and 23 healthy volunteers as a control group. The two groups were first compared in terms of the ONSD using the ultrasonography (US) technique. Second, the severity of headache in the COVID-19 group was numerically evaluated (from 0 to 10) and the group was then divided into low, moderate, and high subgroups according to headache severity. Afterwards, the ONSD measurements of participants in the COVID-19 group were compared in between the subgroups.
Results: We found that the COVID-19 patients had higher ONSD levels than healthy controls (4.7±0.7 mm vs. 4.1±0.4 mm, p <0.001). In the COVID-19 patients, there was a significant difference of ONSD levels between the low and moderate as well as the low and high groups. However, no significant difference was observed between the moderate and high groups. There was also a positive correlation between the headache intensity and ONSD diameter level (p=0.01 r=0.39).
Conclusion: COVID-19 patients with headache had higher ONSD levels than healthy volunteers, consistent with increased intracranial pressure. The latter may be one of the causes of headache in COVID-19.
Guillain–Barré syndrome with weakness confined to the bilateral upper extremities after ChAdOx1-S/ nCoV-19 vaccination
Authors: Chang Min Cheol
Published: July 2022

Currently, vaccination against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is being conducted worldwide, and studies on its side effects are required to evaluate its safety. We report a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) after vaccination with ChAdOx1/nCoV-19. A healthy 32-year-old man presented with mild weakness in his bilateral upper extremities 19 days after the vaccination. At 24 days after the vaccination, nerve conduction study showed demyelinating neuropathy in the bilateral upper and lower extremities. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) was administered over 5 days, and at the 2-week follow-up after finishing IVIg treatment, the weakness in the upper extremities was fully resolved. Although GBS is an uncommon side effect after COVID-19 vaccination, clinicians should be aware of its possible occurrence. When a patient complains of weakness after COVID-19 vaccination, clinicians should consider the possibility of GBS development.

2. 2,6-Di-tert-butylo-4-metylofenol. Dokumentacja proponowanych dopuszczalnych wielkości narażenia zawodowego
Authors:   Jan Gromiec, Soćko Renta
Published: July 2022

2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) is an organic chemical compound from the group of phenols, which occurs in the form of white crystals or in the form of a light yellow powder. This substance is manufactured and/or imported into the European Economic Area in quantities of 10.000–100.000 t/year. BHT due to its antioxidant properties is used, e.g., in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic industries to protect materials from oxidation during long-term storage. Despite the widespread use of BHT, reports of the consequences of exposure to this substance in humans are sporadic and are generally limited to skin reactions. BHT is characterized by low acute toxicity after a single intragastric or cutaneous administration. Experimental studies have shown that in both rodents and primates, the liver is a critical organ of BHT action. In vitro and in vivo studies of the mutagenicity and genotoxic effects of BHT have shown that BHT does not pose a significant mutagenic and genotoxic risk to humans. In offspring of mammals who were exposed to BHT by the oral route during pregnancy, effects of the compound on developmental toxicity including fetotoxic and embryotoxic effects were observed. There was no effect of BHT exposure on reproduction parameters. The basis for calculating MAC was a NOAEL of 25 mg/kg/day obtained from a chronic study in rats. After applying several uncertainty factors, MAC of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol of 10 mg/m3 was proposed. The established value should protect employees from the effects of systemic action and possible irritating relationship. There are no grounds for establishing the value of STEL and the value of the permissible concentration in biological material.

Authors:   Małgorzata Kucharska, Pisarska Anna
Published: July 2022

1-Ethyl-2-pyrrolidone (NEP) is a colorless liquid with ammonia-like odor. It belongs to the organic compounds from the lactam group, i.e., the ethyl derivative of 2-pyrrolidone. 1-Ethyl-2-pyrrolidone, due to similar physicochemical proper-ties, is used in industry as a substitute for 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). It is used as a solvent in polymer, petroche-mical, paint and varnish, and electronic industries. Moreover, it has been used as a cleaning agent for removing paints, varnishes, adhesives, oil or grease. 1-Ethyl-2-pyrrolidone can be absorbed through the skin as well as through inhalation and food. The aim of the this study was to develop and validate a method for determining 1-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone in work-place air. The developed method of NEP determination consists in adsorption of vapors of this substance on coconut shell charcoal, extraction with a dichloromethane and chromatographic analysis of the obtained solution. The study was performed using a gas chromatograph coupled with mass spectrometer (GC-MS), equipped with a polar ZB-WAXplus capillary column (length 60 m, diameter 0.25 mm and the film thickness of the stationary phase 0.5 µm). The developed method is linear in the concentration range of 15.0–320.0 µg/ml, which corresponds to the range of 1.5–32.0 mg/m3 for a 10-L air sample. The analytical method described in this paper makes it possible to determine 1-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone in workplace air in the presence of comorbid substances. The method is precise, accurate and it meets the criteria for procedure for measuring chemical agents listed in Standard No. PN-EN 482. Developed method of determining 1-ethyl- 2-pyrrolidone at workplace air has been recorded as an analytical procedure (see Appendix). This article discusses the problems of occupational safety and health, which are covered by health sciences and environmental engig.

The ubiquitous creation process of the electron-positron pairs is brought out as being due to resonant von Karman vortex streets caused by local aether flows, as related to the Kelvin-Helmholtz vortex model of the electron and positron from fluid dynamics. The origination of electric charge is discussed as being caused by the bending and slowing of infinite velocity vortex lines, where electrons and positrons exhibit continuous charge because vortex lines are captured, always bent away from a perfectly straight line, and constantly circulate internal to these particles. The ubiquitous dis-creation (dissociation) of atomic matter due to gamma ray resonance with the given atom, can be controlled, and can produce any manner of force desired, arising from the vicinity of the atomic dissociation site. Both processes, creation and dis-creation, can produce excess electrical energy, so we think these investigations are valuable, in this regard. As these useful matter creation processes are more deeply investigated and new technologies arise from these studies, we will be able to make any amount of any kinds of atoms we like.

The relevance of the article is justified by the fact that one of the most important aspects of the development of startups is their financing. The study of global experience and systematization of the types and forms of financing allows the development of a unified concept that supports startups at all stages of functioning and creates an effective entrepreneurial ecosystem. The goal of the paper is to identify the specifics of startup financing in the Russian innovation space based on the generalization of the worldwide experience with different forms of startup financing, to study and summarize the forms and types of startup financing and to define the specifics of the startup financing situation in the innovation sphere at the current stage. The authors conclude that one of the main features of the Russian economy is the insufficient use of some forms of financing of innovative start-ups. The perspective directions of innovative start-ups financing at the current stage of development of the Russian economy are identified. The necessity of using state resources to support start-ups at the stage of their opening in order to improve the qualitative and quantitative composition of the small-scale enterprises is shown. The directions of development of innovations financing in Russian practice, including those based on the potential of the stock market, are suggested.

Leaves of Chionanthus retusus were found to be damaged by leaf spot disease associated with a fungus in Iksan, Korea. Leaf spots were angular to irregular, vein-limited, scattered, 1–8 mm diameter, brownish-gray to dark brown when dry, with heavy fructification. The pathogen causes premature defoliation of C. retusus plant and was identified as Pseudocercospora chionanthi-retusi based on morphological and molecular-phylogenetic analyses. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using multi-locus DNA sequence data of partial actin (actA), partial translation elongation factor 1-alfa (ef1A), partial DNA-directed RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (rpb2) genes, and internal transcribed spacer regions. Current study provides detail morphological description of P. chionanthi-retusi on C. retusus in Korea, with supports of phylogenetic analysis and pathogenicity test.

The incidence of Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) and biological and molecular characterization of the Palestinian isolates of ToBRFV are described in this study. Symptomatic leaf samples obtained from Solanum lycopersicum L. (tomatoes) and Nicotiana tabacum L. (cultivated tobacco) plants were tested for tobamoviruses infection by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Tomato leaf samples collected from Tulkarm and Qalqilia are infected with ToBRFV-PAL with an infection rate of 76% and 72.5%, respectively. Leaf samples collected from Jenin and Nablus were found to be mixed infected with ToBRFV-PAL and Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) (100%). Sequence analysis of the ToBRFV-PAL genome showed that the net average nucleotide divergence between ToBRFV/F48-PAL strain and the Israeli and Turkish strains was 0.0026398±0.0006638 (±standard error of mean), while it was 0.0033066±0.0007433 between ToBRFV/F42-PAL and these two isolates. In the phylogenetic tree constructed with the complete genomic sequence, all the ToBRFV isolates were clustered together and formed a sister branch with the TMV. The sequenced Palestinian isolates of ToBRFV-PAL shared the highest nucleotide identity with the Israeli ToBRFV isolate suggesting that the virus was introduced to Palestine from Israel. The findings of this study enhance our understanding of the biological and molecular characteristics of ToBRFV which would help in the management of the disease.

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a well-known source of interannual variability in the climate of Santana do Livramento, Campanha Gaúcha, Brazil. It affects the agronomic responses of several crops grown in the region. Analysis of a dataset comprising observations of grape yield and sugar content in 11 white and 17 red grape cultivars over the last 3 decades revealed some patterns. In the long term (several years or decades), yield and sugar content showed a negative relationship, that is, larger crop loads resulted in lower sugar content at harvest. However, a number of calculations and principal component analyses showed that annual yield and sugar content fluctuations in the short term can be better explained by considering as reference points only the results obtained for each crop one and two years before. Based on these simple calculations, there was a clear separation between El Niño and La Niña events. In the vineyards of this region, La Niña events typically tend to result in higher grape yields and sugar content at harvest, while the opposite is true for El Niño, which tend to produce lower grape yields and sugar content at harvest. The results of neutral events are typically closer to those of El Niño events.

Published: July 2022

Askeri ve kamusal alanlarda çeşitli görevlerde kullanılmak üzere geliştirilen İnsansız Hava Araçlarının (İHA)
kullanım alanlarından biri de geniş arazi ortamlarında hedef arama çalışmalarıdır. Aranacak hedefin
boyutunun genişlemesi ve sayısının artması durumunda İHA’ ların tek başına kullanılması yetersiz kalmakta,
bu soruna çözüm olarak, İHA sürüleri oluşturulmaktadır. İHA sürülerinin hedef tespitinde kullanılması,
arama süresini kısaltmakla beraber daha büyük alanlarda arama yapma imkânı sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada
simulasyon ortamında hedef arama yapmak üzere bir sürü İHA sisteminin kurulması ve arama bölgesinden
kaçan hedeflerin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada, Parçacık Sürü Optimizasyonu’ndan
faydalanılarak sürü İHA’ların hız ve konum bilgileri güncellenmiş, sürüdeki İHA’ların hızları, komşu İHA’lar
arasındaki konum ve hız değerlerine göre hesaplanmıştır. Hedeflere ulaşmak için taranacak alanın matris
değerlerini belirlemek amacıyla oluşturulan fonksiyonlara koordinat verileri eklenmiştir. Sürü İHA’ların yol
planlaması oluşturulurken üs bölgesinde başlagıçtan-bitişe kadar Dubins ve Bezier Eğrileri kullanılarak
İHA’ların dönüşlerinin yumuşatılması sağlanmıştır. Sonuç olarak sürü İHA’ lar simülasyon haritasının -800
ile 1000 aralığındaki x ve y koordinatları içerisinde 30 km/saate varan hıza ulaşmış, 02.29 dakikada hedefin
kontrolü ve imhası gerçekleştirilmiştir. Simülasyon sonuçları çoklu İHA görevlerinde hedef arama sürecinin
azaltılmasına katkı sunmaktadır.

Published: July 2022

The dynamism that has accompanied contemporary scholarship has opened up several writers’ approach in contextualizing the biblical text, in a way that makes it look relevant to the present age and useful in proffering solution to problems; both in the present and for the future. It is in view of this that the biblical text of 1 Kings 12:1-5 will be examined in this article, looking at the request of the Israelites for a redress of grievances at Shechem during the reign of Rehoboam and comparing it with the agitations of the Indigenous People of Biafra. The article also provided practicable recommendations which would be useful for the Nigerian government in tackling the challenges posed at them by the IPOB dilemma.
READING THE FOURTH GOSPEL IN THE SOUTH ASIAN CONTEXT
Authors: Thomaskutty Johnson
Published: July 2022

This article introduces some of the themes and structural dynamics of the Fourth Gospel in closer integration with the religio-cultural aspects of the South Asian context. As John’s Gospel has the potential to appeal to and accommodate the spirituality of South Asia, a re-reading of the Gospel is possible through the means of a crosspollination of ideas. The four major parts of the Gospel, i.e., the Prologue, the Book of Signs, the Book of Glory, and the Epilogue, demonstrate several cultural and ideological parallels with that of the South Asian realities. A reading that encourages religio-cultural sensitivity can be a required formative factor in the process of interpreting the Fourth Gospel. Some of the key aspects of the Gospel such as the theme of discipleship, the sign language, the “I AM” Sayings, the characters and the characterization, mystical expressions, and dualistic tendencies can be dynamically interlocked within the South Asian ideological and cultural aspects. The universalistic language of the Gospel can have a special appeal to the common realities of the South Asian people.
