Authors: Kirici Muammer , Kirici Mahinur , Taysi Mehmet Resit , Ispir Unal
Published: December 2022

The aim of this study was to investigate the response of different doses of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and extracellular product (ECP) antigens (25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 µg) obtained from Flavobacterium psychrophilum to changes in oxidative stress parameters (catalase [CAT], superoxide dismutase [SOD], glutathione peroxidase [GPx], glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase [G6PD], glutathione reductase [GR], and malondialdehyde [MDA]) in juvenile rainbow trout. For this purpose, 6 different doses of F. psychrophilum (102–106) were applied to the fish, and the lethal dose 50 % (LD50) value was determined as 1.33·104. Changes in MDA levels and antioxidant enzymes were determined by applying 25 % of the LD50 value to fish for 14 days. Accordingly, while F. psychrophilum increased GR, G6PD, GPx, and SOD activity, it decreased MDA levels and CAT activity. Initially, 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 µg doses of ECP and LPS were applied to the fish; after 21 days, a 25 % dose of LD50 was applied to these fish. Fourteen days later, the fish were taken, and the changes in MDA levels and antioxidant enzymes were examined. As a result, it was determined that while ECP and LPS application decreased GR, G6PD, GPx, and SOD activity, there was an increase in MDA levels and CAT activity.
Design, microwave-assisted synthesis, biological evaluation, molecular docking and ADME studies of pyrrole-based hydrazide-hydrazones as potential antioxidant agents
Authors: Mateev Emilio , Georgieva Maya , Zlatkov Alexander
Published: December 2022

In this study, one novel N-pyrrolyl carboxylic acid (3), the corresponding N-pyrrolyl hydrazide (5), and four new hydrazide-hydrazones (5a-d) bearing electron donating moieties were designed, synthesized, and fully elucidated by 1H NMR, FT-IR, and HRMS. The hydrazide-hydrazones were produced in five steps, which were optimized by applying microwave heating. The microwave-assisted synthesis significantly decreased the reaction times and increased the yields of the title molecules. In addition, all novel compounds were assessed for their radical scavenging properties by employing DPPH and ABTS assays. The most promising agent was obtained after condensation of the title hydrazide (5) with a 3,5-dimetoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (5d). The latter compound showed better antioxidant properties than Trolox (6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid) and could serve as a prominent lead structure for future optimization as an antioxidant agent. A possible binding conformation of 5d in the active site of NADPH oxidase was also identified through molecular docking simulations. Analysis of the major interactions showed the importance of the hydroxyl moiety for the antioxidant activity. Finally, the virtual calculations of the ADME properties of the synthesized compounds displayed good drug-like properties. Overall, an optimized synthetic protocol through MW irradiation was employed. The newly synthesized ethyl (E)-5-(4-bromophenyl)-1-(1-(2-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzylidene)hydrazineyl)-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)-2-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate (5d) was found to possess the most prominent radical-scavenging capacity, which identifies it as a promising lead compound for the development of novel antioxidants.

Authors: Altun Özlen , Boz Mesut , Tetik Övul
Published: December 2022

In the current study, firstly, a new pyrrole-based ligand (3,4-(ethylenedimercaptodiacetoxy)-N-(benzyl)-diethyl-2,5-pyrroledicarboxylate (L) was synthesized in the presence of diethyl-N-benzyl-3,4-dihydroxy-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dicarboxylate and 2,2'-(ethane-1,2-diylbis(sulfanediyl))diacetylchloride. Then, the palladium(II) complex of the synthesized ligand was obtained, and its structural features were examined by spectral (HRMS, ESI-MS, UV-Visible, FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, XRD-POWDER, SEM, EDX) and thermogravimetric (TG-DTA) techniques. The spectral and thermal measurements of the ligand and its Pd(II) complex show that the ligand is coordinated to the Pd2+ ion. Antimicrobial activities of both the ligand and its palladium complex were examined. It was determined that whereas the ligand indicated modest antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans at a concentration of 6.25 µg/ml, the palladium complex was significantly effective against C. albicans at a concentration of 6.25 µg/ml.
Synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles using Sphaerophysa kotschyana fruit and the assessment of their antioxidant activity
Authors: Genc Nusret
Published: December 2022

Nanoparticles have attracted great interest recently due to their application in many fields. In this study, an eco-friendly, scalable, cost-effective method was used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (s-AgNPs) using the fruit extract of Sphaerophysa kotschyana as a reducing agent, and their structure was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic techniques. The color change from yellow to dark brown indicated the formation of s-AgNPs. In the UV-Vis spectrum, the maximum absorption was observed at 437 nm. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy displayed the functional group of the natural compounds in the extract that capped and stabilized the s-AgNPs. The characteristic hydroxyl vibrational signal appeared at 3168 cm–1. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern indicated that the s-AgNPs were face-centered cubic crystalline structures. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) exhibited the spherical-shaped nanoparticles with an average size of 67.37 nm. The antioxidant activity of the extract and s-AgNPs was established using the DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays. In the DPPH test, the effect of s-AgNPs was observed to be significantly higher than that of the extract, and the activity of s-AgNPs in the FRAP test was also reported to be higher than the extract. In the ABTS assay, the s-AgNPs displayed outstanding activity, which was even better than the standards. Consequently, s-AgNPs synthesized from S. kotschyana are promising drug products for diseases caused by oxidative stress.

Interrogating the association between current account and economic complexity
Authors: Molele Sehludi , Ncanywa Thobeka
Published: December 2022

The study was meant to provide a comparative analysis of the association between economic complexity and the current account performance for selected Sub-Saharan Africa and the BRICS group. Economic complexity measures the sophistication of a country’s productive structure by combining information on the diversity of a country (the number of products it exports), and the ubiquity of its products (the number of countries that export that product). The objective was to investigate whether a short- and long-term relationship exists through a Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (PARDL) for 1994 – 2018. Additionally, agricultural exports were also incorporated to measure against the economic complexity Index (ECI). On the current account-ECI relationship, the PARDL estimates exposed a positive and significant impact from ECI on the current account performance in both groups in the long run, while short-run results were insignificant. On the other hand, agricultural exports were an insignificant predictor of the current account in both groups in the long run. However, only the BRICS realised a significant negative contribution in the short-run. Hence, it is essential, especially the still developing selected SSA, to improve upon its ECI to facilitate a current account improvement better. There is a need to modernise the agricultural and agro-industries in the selected SSA. The region should harness the full potential of its agricultural sector and also the overall, abundance of raw resources to advance process-led products for the export market.

Published: December 2022

Society plays a vital role in guiding human behaviours; as a result, the public needs to adhere to societal rules. This then gives primal importance to institutions, especially mass media, which communicate to the public. The accuracy of the institutions' information influences how well the public adheres to societal rules. This paper uses COVID-19 as a case study to investigate how mass media influences society's compliance with societal rules. This paper aims to examine both the positive and negative impacts of the media during COVID-19 and massages out how the media bring about social change through their influence on human behaviour. This paper is guided by strategic communication theory. The paper concludes that moving forward, the ethics of mass media is the best approach as it would go a long way to ensure that the industry's standards are high.

Preservation of internal security in Namibia: Challenges for the Namibian Police Force
Authors: Kennedy K. Mabuku  , Olutola Adewale A.
Published: December 2022

This study argues that preservation of internal security of Namibia should not be the primary responsibility of only the Namibian Police Force (NamPol). The issue of security has been the subject of interest throughout human existence and still reserves its principal occupation in the public domain. However, the challenges of insecurities and increased threats to human existence domestically and globally have triggered incessantly renewed security inquiry by scholars, security practitioners, politicians and public administrators. The study employed a qualitative approach; interviews were used to purposively collect data from 20 participants which comprised of the heads of directorates, the regional commanders in the Namibian Police Force, Legal Assistance Centre, NamRights, Namibian Defence Force, Namibian Correctional Service and Windhoek Municipal Police. The data was analysed using thematic analysis, which led to the development of the Framework for Performing Internal Security [FPIS] model. The findings indicate that due to the nature of factors linked to insecurities, such as technology, porous borders, political factors, environmental factors, inequality, poverty, unemployment and lack of provision for essential services, the Namibian police alone cannot preserve internal security effectively. As such, the study recommends that constitutional amendments to incorporate other stakeholders in the preservation Namibia’s internal security.
Assessing the effect of education levels on economic growth in South Africa
Authors: Molaodi Vivian Thuso
Published: December 2022

Education is generally considered to be the core source of individuals’ better life and countries' economic and social development. Consequently, attending university and getting high qualifications are perceived as tools that generate and enhance economic growth. The current study aimed to analyse the effect of various educational levels on South African economic growth. The study employed quarterly data from 1995Q1 to 2021Q4. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model was employed to assess both long-run and short-run relationships among variables. The long-run results revealed that people who completed their grade 12 (with matric certificate) and bachelor's degrees contribute positively to South African economic growth. However, honours and higher degrees (master's and PhD) were found to have an inverse relationship with economic growth in South Africa. On the other hand, the short-run relationship indicated that all education levels contribute to economic growth in the short term. Based on these findings, the author suggests that the South African higher education curriculum should be revised as the negative effect of high education towards economic growth should be resulting in growing unemployment and graduates waiting to be employed rather than creating jobs themselves. Additionally, increasing job creation for graduates with higher qualifications would reduce the number of graduates that leave the country looking for employment abroad.
Is retail leadership what the economy needs today? Key factors for effectiveness
Authors: Wiid Johannes Arnoldus , Cant Michael Colin , Senooane Belinda
Published: December 2022

Leadership effectiveness is critical for organisational success. An assessment of the factors which promote leadership effectiveness is therefore warranted. The study sought to investigate the attributes of effective leaders within the retail industry and reveal how they influence the perceptions of subordinates of the level of leadership in the sector. A self-administered questionnaire was hand-delivered to a sample of managers employed by retailing firms in the greater Tshwane area. The researchers analysed survey data from 104 respondents, using exploratory factor analysis to tease out the factors representing the attributes of effective leaders relative to the level of leadership. The findings suggest that subordinates believed the level of leadership among retail managers to be average. The results of the multiple-factor analysis revealed four categories of attributes, namely skilful, inspiring, compassionate and persistent. The correlation analysis between the level of leadership and attributes of leadership/management team revealed the level of leadership to be significantly and positively related to skilful, inspiring and persistent. Our discussion highlights the importance of understanding the qualities that make an effective leader. The study furthers the results of the inquiry into leadership and suggests avenues for future research on enhancing leadership effectiveness among retail managers.

Published: December 2022

This study explores the application of the Village Customary Law called Awig-Awig in Tenganan Pegringsingan Village to manage the Ulayat Forest. The myth of Lelipi Lem Bukit is still believed to be a forest guard. A snake will peg the "Niskala" sanction for those who dare to commit theft of forest products. Meanwhile, "Skala" sanctions in the form of "fines" are given to those caught stealing forest products. The legal issue is how is the power of Awig-Awig in utilizing the Ulayat Forest in Tenganan Pegringsingan Village before state law. The method used is empirical legal research with an analytical approach, legislation, and customary law. Observation, Focus Group Discussion, and interviews obtained primary data. Secondary data was collected using documentation and recording techniques and analyzed by interpreting and qualitative techniques from the beginning until the Decree of the Minister of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia No. SK.1546/MENLHK-PSKL/PKTH/KUM.1/2/2019 stipulates the Ulayat Forest of Pegringsingan Village as a Customary Forest, the regulation in the management and utilization of forest products is still based on Awig-Awig both as a regulatory and coercive rule. Obedience and observance of villagers are still very high because violations are scarce. Awig-Awig is a law that grows and is developed in the life of villagers in the ulayat village area, which is relevant to Von Savigny's thought, namely volkgeist and has a pliable and supple nature. The customary forest utilization model is relevant to Bentham's utility principle with several novelties.
Bank-firm relationship in a developing country: Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Muhammad Fuad  , Husnan Suad
Published: December 2022

This study aims to examine the association between banks and firms in a loan. Our data set was pooled cross section data from 2014 to 2016, with long-term loans of firms listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange as a unit of analysis. We estimate our regression model using ordinary least square (OLS) estimator. The results revealed that lower-risk banks tend to associate with riskier but well-performing firms. Similarly, lower-capital banks tend to associate with riskier but well-performing firms. These results are quite contrary to previous studies conducted in developed countries. Lower risk banks have relationship with riskier and well-performing firms in condition that the amount of loan is small enough to be considered safe. Meanwhile, lower capital banks in this study, especially in Indonesia, may face the geographical problem which drives cost so high that makes banks charge higher interest to possibly riskier firms. This study makes contribution by providing evidence from a relative fragmented credit market. Future research on this topic is encouraged to look out more detail especially in the causality interpretation.

Authors: Sari Rena Armita , Sugiharti Rr Retno
Published: December 2022

LFPR is an important factor that can show how large the workforce is already working. The large number of workers who do not work causes the burden of dependence to be greater. In this study, it is shown that LFPR is influenced by growth in the number of MSMEs, household consumption, and minimum wages. In data processing, an ECM (error correction model) approach is used which looks at its long-term and short-term effects. In the long term and in the short term, the growth in the number of MSMEs and the minimum wage has a significant negative effect, while household consumption has a significant positive effect simultaneously or partially, except for the minimum wage variable in the short term which has an insignificant negative effect.

Introdução: O câncer do colo do útero (CCU) é considerado como um grave problema de saúde pública em todo o mundo, sendo que o número de casos é de aproximadamente 570 mil, com 311 mil mortes. No Brasil, no biênio 2018-2019, o câncer do colo do útero foi responsável por aproximadamente 16.370 casos para cada ano. Para o rastreamento CCU é utilizado, desde 1943, o Papanicolaou ou exame citopatológico Objetivo: avaliar a concordância entre os métodos de rastreamento do câncer do colo do útero: citologia, colposcopia e histologia. Métodos: Estudo do tipo coorte transversal, realizado no Complexo Laboratorial da Saúde, Unidade de Anatomia Patológica e Citopatologia, referência em citopatologia e histologia em Palmas-TO. A pesquisa compreendeu os anos de 2019, 2020 e 2021. Foram incluídos neste estudo um total de 926 amostras, todas positivas já confirmadas na citologia, colposcopia e histologia, sendo 359 referente ao ano de 2019, 272 referente ao ano de 2020 e 295 referente ao ano de 2021. Resultados: A citologia apresentou 64% (n=595) de resultados positivos e 36% (n=331) de negativas (não concordantes com resultado da histologia posterior à citologia em grau de lesão, NIC I, NIC II, NIC III e outras, porém positivas). 85% (n=783) apresentaram achados colposcopicos maiores e 15% (n=143) apresentaram achados colposcopicos menores. Quando a citologia foi comparada à histologia, observou-se que a citologia apresentou 64% (n=595) de resultados positivos e 36% (n=331) de resultados negativos (Não concordantes com resultado da histologia posterior à citologia em grau de lesão, NIC I, NIC II, NIC III e outras, porém positivas) e o exame histopatológico foi alterado em 100% (n=926) dos exames analisados. Foram encontrados achados colposcópicos anormais em 100% (n=926) das mulheres com o histopa­tológico alterado. Conclusão: A citologia, quando bem realizada, produz resultados com altos índices de concordância com a colposcopia e a histologia, favorecendo o diagnóstico das neoplasias do colo do útero e o tratamento eficaz e seguro.

“O SONHO É O LUGAR DO FUTURO”: NOTAS ETNOGRÁFICAS SOBRE A “CIÊNCIA PANKARARU” A PARTIR DAS MULHERES REZADEIRAS
Authors: Rayis Lovo Arianne
Published: December 2022

As lógicas espaciais e corporais que informam a cosmovisão indígena são forças contra- hegemônicas que resistem face ao “feitiço do capitalismo” (STENGERS, 2005). Nesse aspecto, como outros modos de existir, habitar e cuidar podem nos ensinar sobre práticas subversivas frente ao nosso modelo ocidental predatório e civilizatório? Caminhando com as rezadeiras Pankararu que habitam a cidade de São Paulo, pretendo demonstrar como as ontologias em disputa são negociadas em suas relações com humanos (indígenas e não indígenas) e outros que humanos (encantados). Assim, aspectos da “ciência pankararu”, como “dom”, “chamadas”, “corpo aberto” e “corpo fechado”, são importantes porque nos informam sobre a organização da vida social do grupo.
Entrevista con José Luis García Rúa

Esta entrevista con José Luis García Rúa forma parte de una serie de setenta entrevistas con anarquistas que pasaron la Guerra civil en España. Fueron llevadas a cabo y grabadas entre 1989 y 1991 en varias ciudades de España. Hasta ahora, ninguna ha sido publicada. Tuve la suerte de tener una magnífica comunicación con los entrevistados; tenían una excelente memoria y hablaron largamente sobre sus experiencias en la guerra y en la postguerra. Lógicamente, también abordamos otros asuntos contextuales. Me interesaba especialmente saber cuál fue el camino que los llevó a la ideología anarquista, cuál era su interpretación del anarquismo y qué pensaban sobre la actualidad y el futuro de las ideas libertarias.
