Cactus pear (Opuntia spp.) species and cultivars cultivated in the world: A review
Authors: Mohamed Arba
Published: June 2022

Cactus pears are succulent plants resistant to drought and Opuntia Mill. Is the typical genus. This genus includes a group of cactus pear plants which are economically the most important in the cactus family. Cactus pears are originated from Mexico. Adapted to harsh and dry conditions, they are cultivated in the arid and semi-arid areas of the world and are now part of the agricultural systems of these areas. Opuntia ficus−indica (L.) Mill. is the most important economic species worldwide. It is cultivated in many countries of the world and naturalized in certain regions, as in the Mediterranean basin. The spineless species O. ficus−indica resulted from a long selection process in cultivation, and several Opuntia species are mentioned to be its ancestors, in particular O. megacantha Salm−Dyck and O. streptacantha Lem. Several taxa are often confused due to ambiguous descriptions and a lack of types. Molecular studies are a useful tool in plant taxonomy, and most of the taxa in the subfamily Opuntioideae are polyploid and Opuntia species are tetra, hexa or octoploids taxa. This paper describe the most important anatomical and morphological characters of cactus pears as cladodes, flowers and fruits, and the area of their cultivation and distribution in the world is presented. The taxonomic features of the genus Opuntia are highlighted and DNA molecular analysis of its taxa is discussed. Species and cultivars cultivated in the most producing countries are described.
Importance of the Encyrtidae Family (Insecta: Hymenoptera) for biological control
Authors: Carlos Henrique Marchiori
Published: June 2022

The specificity of the host of many Encyrtidae remains uncertain, as some members of the family seem develop very well in different species of insects, while others appear to be parasites of a specific host. Most of the time, the species are oviposited in the host in its larval or nymph stage, but some species are known to oviposit in the pupa or even in adults. The larvae of most are parasitoids of Hemiptera, although they also have other ticks. His mini review is to demonstrate the importance of the Encyrtidae Family (Insecta: Hymenoptera) for biological control. With emphasis on conceptual and taxonomic aspects was carried out in the years 1940 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international were considered. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Scielo Frontiers, Qeios, Pubmed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSeek, Microsoft Academic and Science.
Australian Transfer-Pricing in the Aftermath of Glencore Investment Pty Ltd v Commissioner of Taxation of the Commonwealth of Australia (2019)
Authors: Borg Christian N
Published: June 2022

Glencore Investment Pty Ltd v Commissioner of Taxation of the Commonwealth of Australia (2019) 272 FCR 30 has dominated the Australian transfer pricing landscape for the past two years, with international tax specialists awaiting the outcome with great anticipation. The decision in the Federal Court of Australia and its subsequent appeal to the Full Federal Court and the High Court are of great importance to Australian transfer pricing due to its direct implications on the Australian Commissioner of Taxation’s powers of reconstruction. While dealing with older statutory legislation, the insights of the court and the methods utilised to come to a decision have the potential to provide a strong interpretative precedent in future transfer pricing disputes. It is the opinion of the author that the outcome in Glencore will affect the current transfer pricing regime despite the gradual strengthening of the Commissioner of Taxation’s powers under the new legislation. This article revisits the decision in Glencore and aims to provide a frame of reference for the use of members of the tax community and other individuals interested in understanding the context of the appeal and the implications this will have for Australian transfer pricing.
Recording Africa: Charles Ball’s 1836 Narrative of Enslavement and Encounters
Authors: McCorkle James
Published: June 2022

Charles Ball’s 1836 slave narrative is not only an example of an autobiographical narrative of escape from enslavement, it includes narratives of Africans who have been captured and brought to North America. Ball’s narrative records the heterogeneity of Africans arriving—from Muslim West Africans to those from the Congo, a ubiquitous term given more specificity in his narrative. Defining a distinction between an arrivant and someone, like himself, who may be a second generation enslaved person is Ball’s purpose, suggesting he belongs to a new culture. Ball’s descriptions parallel Zora Neale Hurston’s description of Kossola, a record of the last African brought to North America as an enslaved person. Ball’s role recording his encounters parallels that of Hurston as ethnographer and W. E. B. DuBois as a social historian.
The Effectiveness of Multimedia Gloss Modes and Languages for Chinese Learners’ Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition
Authors: Teng Xuan
Published: June 2022

This study examines the effects of different gloss types, namely L1 text-only, L2 text-only, L1 text plus picture, and L2 text plus picture on vocabulary retention in a multimedia reading environment. This investigation is based on the cognitive theory of multimedia learning and the revised hierarchical model with image. Sixteen participants read a computerized text under one of four gloss conditions and took an immediate and delayed vocabulary retention test. Quantitative analyses in this study were based on responses to a survey, and performance data drawn from the recognition and production tasks in the vocabulary retention test. Qualitative evidence was obtained through interviews with the participants regarding their attitudes to the use of multimedia glosses. Results of this study suggested that L1 and L2 did not differ in terms of their effects on vocabulary retention. In addition, a combination of text and picture was more effective than text-only in sustaining recall of the glossed words. Survey and interview responses indicated the participants’ mixed opinions about L1 and L2 definitions and their strong preferences for pictures. The positive effect of L2 plus picture type glosses for long-term retention suggested the possible important role of mental involvement in the process of L2 vocabulary acquisition.

El sultanato Nazarí de Granada y la frontera (S. XIII-XV)
Authors: Melo Carrasco Diego
Published: June 2022

El presente artículo ingresa en la complejidad de las relaciones fronterizas entre Castilla y Granada durante los siglos XIII-XV. A partir del nacimiento del sultanato Nazarí, pareció definirse una relación, a ratos contradictoria y otras veces, colaborativa, entre ambos mundos. La frontera, espacio que se configura a partir de realidades distintas que se enfrentan, se percibió, desde siempre, como un ámbito dinámico en donde la violencia se hizo presente, sobre todo manifestada a partir del “azote” de la cautividad, pero donde, a la vez, llegaron establecerse vinculaciones pacíficas a partir del mecanismo de las treguas.
La relación bilateral Chile-Perú: Un caso de visiones geopolíticas opuestas.
Authors: Cabrera Toledo Lester
Published: June 2022

El presente trabajo está enfocado a analizar, bajo el marco conceptual que establece la geopolítica critica, diversos discursos que se han planteado dentro de la relación bilateral que han generado diferentes visiones geopolíticas entre Chile y Perú, teniendo en consideración para el caso algunos aspectos que, a lo largo de la relación, han establecido una especie de ethos geopolítico en el discurso de personeros gubernamentales y académicos en ambos países. Aquello da como consecuencia una percepción de constante competencia entre las partes, las cuales dependiendo de las condiciones tanto internas como externas, añaden nuevos factores de conflictividad. No obstante lo anterior, también se observa que si bien existen elementos de cooperación entre las partes, estos poseen una ubicación periférica en el discurso, debido principalmente tanto a una tendencia de maximizar lo negativo y minimizar lo positivo, así como también a seguir elementos geopolíticos constantes dentro de un discurso histórico.
Nominando candidatos con “encuestas en mano”: El uso de las encuestas como mecanismo de selección de candidatos.
Authors: Dockendorff Andrés , Salinas Alejandro , Figueroa Pedro
Published: June 2022

La inexistencia de mecanismos institucionalizados que permitan seleccionar a los aspirantes a cargos de representación política en Chile, ha transformado a las encuestas en verdaderos dispositivos de elección de candidatos al interior de los partidos y coaliciones, que compiten en los distintos niveles de representación popular. De esta manera, en algunos casos, las encuestas electorales se han transformado en virtuales ‘primarias’ al constituirse en un elemento decisivo del proceso de selección de candidatos, que ha alcanzado un inédito rol en Chile durante el periodo 2005 - 2009. El presente artículo contrasta los métodos tradicionales de selección de candidatos con este “nuevo mecanismo” cada vez más utilizado. Para ello, se analizará el proceso de selección de candidatos presidenciales y parlamentarios realizado el año 2005 y las fórmulas utilizadas para escoger a los candidatos a Alcaldes en el 2008 al interior de los principales conglomerados políticos del país (Alianza por Chile y Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia). A nivel presidencial, se estudiará el impacto de las encuestas nacionales más importantes realizadas en el país (CEP, CERC, ADIMARK) en la selección de abanderados presidenciales. También se revisarán algunos de los casos más emblemáticos ocurridos a nivel parlamentario y municipal que sirven para ilustrar la creciente centralidad de las encuestas electorales.
Uso de Internet por parte de las FARC–EP: nuevo escenario de confrontación o último espacio de difusión política
Authors: Trejos Luis Fernando
Published: June 2022

El presente escrito tiene como objetivo central demostrar que desde fines de los años noventa, las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia–Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP), han venido haciendo un uso estratégico de la Internet. Por este medio han intentado superar las dificultades que para el trabajo urbano y su quehacer político en Colombia y el exterior, tiene el ser considerada una organización terrorista. La Internet ha posibilitado la comunicación con otros actores sociales y políticos y otorga mayores garantías de seguridad a sus militantes. No es casual que en menos de 10 años las FARC-EP hayan creado y participado en por lo menos 8 sitios web y un número similar de Blogs. El marco de análisis teórico conceptual del escrito, se compone del trabajo realizado por las investigadoras colombianas Gisela García y Liliana Paredes, sobre el “Uso y apropiación de las nuevas tecnologías por parte de la subversión” y por las teorías e investigaciones de Manuel Castells sobre el uso social y político de las Nuevas Tecnologías de la Información.

Se estudian entonces, tanto el espacio de acción que ahora propone este movimiento neozapatista con su iniciativa del movimiento de ‘La Sexta’, como los tiempos previstos para el logro de sus objetivos, pero también sus demandas esenciales, su deslinde radical frente a la clase política, sus nuevas formas de organización, su estrategia global actual y su neta definición de los grupos, clases y sectores sociales a los que va dirigida esta nueva convocatoria suya de acción.
Instituciones y desarrollo regional: el caso de la industria acuícola en la zona lacustre de la Araucanía
Authors: Quilaqueo Jaime , Vega Francisco
Published: June 2022

El objetivo es explorar las diferentes dimensiones subsistémicas de la institucionalidad que afectan a la competitividad de un territorio, tomando como objeto de estudio las relaciones y percepciones que genera el sector acuícola en la zona lacustre de la región de La Araucanía. Desde los modelos teóricos del desarrollo económico local y la competitividad sistémica se genera una reflexión teórica sobre las capacidades de aprovechamiento de las oportunidades de crecimiento y como esta está determinada por un entorno local que permita una articulación de instituciones públicas y privadas en el territorio. Se permitió además diferenciar diferentes niveles de análisis, lo que facilitó la utilización de una metodología mixta, donde cada nivel se ha analizado bajo una técnica diferente, permitiendo así construir una mirada integral del fenómeno.

Se sostiene como proposición inicial, que el aprovechamiento de las oportunidades territoriales para el potenciamiento de la competitividad no solo está determinada por factores económicos sino por un entramado de diferentes niveles institucionales que conforman mecanismos de balance y control para la sustentabilidad y crecimiento del sector, pero que su construcción vertical (top down) genera desacoplamientos entre los diferentes niveles dados por las normativas, regulación y percepción negativas del sector acuícola en el territorio.

Minimal invasive dentistry
Authors: Fatima Nikhat , Mustilwar Rachita , Paul Rajdeep , Chauhan Prem Shankar , Mostafa Diana , Dhopte Ashwini
Published: June 2022

The ideal definition of "Minimal Invasive (MI) Dentistry" is the use of a biological method rather than a typical (surgical) operational dentistry strategy to treat dental caries. When operational dentistry is necessary, it is now done in the most conservative way possible, with the least amount of tooth structure being harmed. This novel method of caries cares shifts the focus from detecting carious lesions as cavities (and a recurring cycle of restorations) to diagnosing the oral ecological imbalance and affecting biological changes in the biofilm. After stopping the disease process, MI aims to restore lost tooth structure and function, while optimizing the tooth's healing capacity. “Caries treatment has evolved from G.V. Black's extension for prevention to minimally intrusive owing to advancements in dental adhesives and restorative materials, increased knowledge of the caries process and remineralization, and changes in the incidence of caries. A decrease in cariogenic bacteria, new classifications of caries based on the location and size of lesion remineralization, and procedures and materials for minimally invasive cavity preparation are some of the topics covered in this book.”

Plants are the natural treasure of antioxidants and antimicrobial agents. Present study was intended to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of Plumeria alba leaves hydroalcoholic extract (PALHE). Study involved the phytochemical screening, antioxidant, and antibacterial activity of PALHE. The PALHE was prepared using 95% ethanol as solvent through maceration method. The antioxidant activity involved determination of total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC). DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl2-picryl hydrazyl) radical scavenging assay was used for the determination of antioxidant activity of PALHE. The PALHE was investigated for its antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli using well diffusion method. Various phytochemical screening tests were carried out and the results revealed the presence of carbohydrates, reducing sugar, mucilage, proteins, steroids, volatile oil, tannins, phenolic and flavonoids in the PALHE. Besides, moderate antioxidant activity was also revealed through the result of DPPH assay over the ethanolic leaves extract of the PALHE, where the IC50 was found to be 23.96 mcg/ml. Additionally, the TPC and TFC were found to be 71.04 mg (GAE/g of total phenol in terms of gallic acid equivalent) and 75.60 mg (RE/g of total flavonoid in terms of rutin equivalent) respectively.

Alcohol induced dose dumping in modified release formulations in vivo and in vitro studies
Authors: Rajan Jasu , Rajan Vasu , Kaur Bhupinder
Published: June 2022

Various case studies based on alcohol-induced dose dumping in modified release dosage forms both in vivo and in vitro have been studied in this review, as well as a study of numerous factors impacting it, polymers that can be used to prevent it, and a perspective of regulatory authorities. The drug from various modified release dosage forms is released in such a way that the release of the drug is tailored or delayed especially for drugs that are having a therapeutic index in a very narrow range or are opioids. These types of drugs possess a very high risk of dose dumping if co-administered with alcohol. Since the problem of alcohol-induced dose dumping (AIDD) has been caught by the regulatory agencies some of the formulations come with black box warnings and some are even withdrawn from the market. It’s been set as a benchmark by the regulatory agencies that if the formulation withstands 0-40% alcoholic condition under in-vitro release tests then the modified release formulations can be classified rugged against the dose duping.
The Role of Maturity Gaps and Short-Term Market Interest Rates on Interest Rate Risk Exposure in Commercial Banks in Kenya
Authors:   The Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Ngalawa James , Kirori Gabriel N. ,   The Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Ngare Philip ,   University of Nairobi
Published: June 2022

Commercial banks engage in maturity transformation and the term premium compensates them for bearing the associated duration risk. They are thus exposed to interest rate risk which is the bank's financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates and represents one of the key forms of risk that banks face as financial intermediaries. The study investigated the role of maturity gaps and short-term market interest rates on interest rate risk exposure in commercial banks in Kenya. This study adopted a panel data research design in methodology to analyze the critical interest rate risk drivers across the banking sector in Kenya. The study period covered 2005-2015. The study was informed by Expectations Hypothesis theory. Correlational research design was used and captured both cross-sectional and longitudinal dimensions of the effects of the variables under investigation that is Maturity gaps ratio (MGRs) and Interest Rate Sensitivity Ratio (IRSRs). The Interest rate risk (IRR) was expressed as a function of maturity gaps, interest rate sensitivity ratio and short-term market interest rates. STATA software was used as the tool for data manipulation. The findings indicated that that a rise in Maturity Gap 2, Maturity Gap 3, Maturity Gap 4, Maturity Gap 5, Interest Rate Sensitivity Ratio 2, Interest Rate Sensitivity Ratio 3, Interest Rate Sensitivity Ratio 4, 91DayTbill and 182DayTbill led to a decrease in the interest rate risk exposure for the commercial banks. However, an increase Maturity Gap 1, Interest Rate Sensitivity Ratio 1, Interest Rate Sensitivity Ratio 5 and 364DayTbill led to an increase in the interest rate risk exposure for the commercial banks. The study recommends that banks should have interest rate risk measurement frameworks that capture all material sources of interest rate risk and that measure the effect of interest rate changes in ways that are consistent with the scope of their activities. The assumptions underlying the system should be clearly understood by risk managers and bank management. Further, banks must establish and enforce operating limits and other practices that maintain exposures within levels consistent with their internal policies. The findings are important in formulation of policies and strategies for enhancing maturity transformation in the banking industry in the country. Keywords: Maturity Gap Ratio, Interest Rate Risk Sensitivity Ratio, Interest Rate Risk Exposure, Short-Term Market Interest Rates & Commercial Banks.

Published: June 2022

Clinical research using patient-reported outcome measures has been critical within the field of shoulder, elbow, and sports medicine in helping clinicians deliver evidence-based and value-based medicine. Recently, however, clinicians have advocated for improving the process of obtaining clinically meaningful information from patients while decreasing survey fatigue and increasing compliance. To that end, the National Institutes of Health created the Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Information System (PROMIS) in which a number of institutions and research investigations have adopted for reporting outcomes. A special focus has also been placed on PROMIS Computer Adaptive Testing forms, which tailor questioning through item response theory. The purpose of this study was to provide insight into the utilization, advantages, and disadvantages of PROMIS within the field of shoulder, elbow, and sports medicine and provide a comparison with legacy patient-reported outcome measure measurements.

A Hydrodynamic Thrust Bearing Lubricated By A Non-Newtonian Giesekus Fluid
Authors: Kudish Ilya I. , Volkov Sergei S. , Vasiliev Andrey S.
Published: June 2022

There exists a huge volume of studies of hydrodynamic and elastohydrodynamic lubrication problems for lubricants with Newtonian rheology. Lubricants with Newtonian rheology do not exhibit the usually observed experimentally behavior of having relatively high viscosity for low stresses and relatively low viscosity for high stresses. In this paper we extend the earlier conducted analysis of lubricants with a non-Newtonian Giesekus behavior for the case of thrust bearing modeling. The main goal of the paper is to obtain an analytical solution for a hydrodynamically thrust bearing lubricated by a fluid with the Giesekus rheology. This goal is achieved by careful application of perturbation methods. A three-term approximate analytical solution is obtained and its dependence on the problem input parameters is analyzed.

Authors: Gorshkova Valentina
Published: June 2022

The article describes the phenomenon of modern childhood in terms of the influence of information technologies on the development of the cognitive and speech mechanisms as a result of the human interaction with new virtual environments of existence at various stages of ontogenesis, starting with toddlers and ending with early adolescence. It provides a brief overview of the data of domestic and foreign studies and an analysis of their results. An attempt is made to find a "golden mean", a balance of positive and negative effects of technology. The topic of natural and focused polylinguistic development is addressed. On these grounds, general recommendations are presented for the creation and organization of effective use of educational videos for children to enhance their lexical memory capacity and speech skills.
Adaptation of the procedure for designing local learning systems to the requirements of system engineering
Authors: Pechnikov Andrey
Published: June 2022

The article clarifies the requirements of system engineering for the procedure of designing local learning systems. On the basis of comparative analysis of these requirements with the procedure of designing the learning process generally accepted in pedagogy, the essence of the inconsistencies of individual pedagogical design procedures with the requirements of system engineering is revealed. The causes of the identified inconsistencies and approaches to their elimination are analyzed. The difference in the approaches of system engineering (pragmatic approach) and pedagogy (research approach) to the definition of design goals is considered as the main cause of the identified inconsistencies. The prospects of developing a practical (pragmatic) variant of pedagogical design are substantiated and a variant of the V–model of the system engineering method is presented, which is focused on the development of local learning systems.
