Accounting for the effect of pressure on the permeability of gases through polymer membranes
Authors: Askadsky A. A. , Matseevich A. V.
Published: July 2024

The calculation scheme is proposed for analyzing the effect of pressure on the permeability of various gases through polymeric membranes. The calculation scheme is based on the proposed equation, in which the activation energy of the permeability process decreases under the action of pressure according to a power law. The adequacy of the calculation scheme was verified on the example of CO2 permeability through polyimide-based membranes. A good agreement was found between the calculated and experimental data on the increase in permeability with increasing pressure. The performance of the scheme was also tested using the example of three polyimides for two cases-growth and non-monotonic change in permeability. The decrease in permeability and the absence of dependence on pressure are analyzed.

The sibling species composition of Simulium damnosum sensulato and abundance of these sibling species in two communities (Opeji and Imala-Odo) of Ogun State south-western Nigeria was carried out in the wet months (May to October). Morphological identification of black flies using standard protocol was done from 07:00hr-18:00hr twice every two weeks. Climatic data like temperature, rainfall and relative humidity were documented for each month. A total of 1543 flies were dissected, 1228(79.6%) in Opeji and 315(20.4%) in Imala-Odo with a statistical significance (p<0.05). The result revealed an allopatric existence of forest dwelling flies. All the flies identified had dark fore coxa but there was variation in the colours of their wing tuft where wing tuft grade 05 was predominant and no fly had wing tuft grade 01 and there was significant difference (p<0.05) in the wing tuft colours observed among the flies. In Opeji, 477(38.8%) flies were parous while 155(49.2%) parous flies were recorded in Imala-Odo. However, no black fly was infected with the larva of Onchocerca volvulus. Relative diurnal distribution of flies caught revealed a bimodal peak between 10:00-11:00hr and 15:00-16:00hr in both communities. Monthly data on abundance also revealed a bimodal peak in the study sites in June and September with a significant difference (p<0.05) in the abundance across the months. Highest biting rate was recorded in June (Opeji=4492.5; Imala-Odo=780) while August recorded the lowest monthly biting rates (Opeji=284; Imala-Odo=62). The relationship between flies abundance and climatic data showed no significant relationship in both communities (p>0.05). This study revealed that there is high abundance of forest black flies during wet season which have epidemiological implication on humans living in these areas and efforts should be made towards constant monitoring of the siblings species

The availability and quality of water system in 21st century plays a vital role in the growth and survival of all living organisms. Eleyele Lake is a general-purpose water body which supplies water to various communities in Ibadan metropolis. This research aimed to investigate the quality of the water using physico-chemical parameters and their influence on the diversity, abundance and distribution of aquatic macro-invertebrates of the lake. Monthly, sample of water and macro-invertebrates from April to September, 2021 at eight sampling points were done, using standard APHA and Winkler’s methods. Macro-invertebrates collected were identified using standard identification guides. Relationship between physico-chemical parameters and aquatic macro-invertebrates was determined using Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r). Species diversity, taxa richness, evenness and similarity were determined using Simpson, Shannon-Weiner, Margalef, Evennes and Equitablity. A total number of 670 macro-invertebrates belonging to 7 orders namely, Hemiptera (47%), Odonata (20%), Diptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Trombidiformes and Hygrophila were collected and identified during the study period. Positive correlations occurs between BOD, EC, TDS, Nitrate and Phosphate and Chironomus sp. Also, pH was positively correlated with Lestes sp. and Aeshna sp. while DO have negative correlation with Lethocerus sp., Physa sp. and Lymnaea sp. The physico-chemical parameters and the diversity indices of macro-invertebrates encountered indicated that the lake was moderately polluted and tends toward degradation as a result of indiscriminate discharge of domestic, agricultural and industrial effluents into the Lake. Therefore, proper management of the lake is required to prevent further deterioration.

Medical insects pose significant health risks, transmitting disease causing agents with significant morbidity and mortality globally. Understanding their genetic composition and evolutionary relationship is crucial to developing control techniques to combat them. This study aims to compare the stop codon usage of gustatory, odorant and kinase genes, and assess their use as markers for evaluating the phylogenetic relationship between selected medical insects. Fifteen genes from three gene families including gustatory receptors, odorant receptors, and kinases were studied in thirty-four insect species. Gene and transcript sequences were retrieved from Ensembl Metazoa database. The stop codon usage was obtained by identifying the stop codon present at the end of the transcript sequences. Multiple sequence alignment of the gene sequences was performed and phylogenetic trees were computed. There were variations in the stop codon usage across the different insect species. The odorant receptor and kinase genes grouped the insects into two major clusters. The stop codon usage highlighted the variation within and among the species. The phylogenetic analysis results supported existing insect classification. These approaches could be considered for phylogenetic analyses of other arthropod groups. Accurate measurement of stop codon usage will be important for understanding natural selection, the genetic variation of coding sequences of genes, and useful in design of more efficient expression constructs in gene-editing techniques for vector control.

Field trials were carried out at Samaru, Zaria in the 2022 and 2023 cropping seasons to study the effect of weeding frequencies for the management of flea beetles (Podagrica spp.) on the production and yield of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench). A randomized complete block design (RCBD) replicated four times was used to evaluate the four weeding frequencies: no weeding, one weeding, two weeding, three weeding, and four weeding. Data were collected on the number of beetle populations, the number of flowers produced, number of damaged fruits, number of leaves damaged and the weight of the fruits. The results of the present findings demonstrated that, in comparison to other weeding frequency, fruit yield were higher in plots that were weeded four times, while the populations of flea beetles (Podagrica spp.), number of flowers and leaves damaged were significantly (P<0.05) higher in one, two and four weeding compared with no and three weeding frequencies. Fruit damaged weight was considerably (P≤0.05) decreased in two and three weeding. Thus, as part of integrated pest management (IPM) techniques to optimize flea beetle control, this study highlighted the significance of two and three weeding frequencies

The rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae is a cosmopolitan and economic pest of stored rice and other cereals. This study
assessed the phytochemical composition and entomotoxic effect of powders and ethanolic oil extracts of Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides and Anacardium occidentale on S. oryzae. Phytochemical screening and Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis were carried out on the oils of Z. zanthoxyloides and A. occidentale, while powders and oils of both plants were further assessed for their toxicity to S. oryzae at 1.0 g, 1.5 g, 2.0 g and 0.0625 ml, 0.125 ml, 0.50ml concentrations for both powders and oils respectively. Qualitative phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and terpenoids, in the oils of both plants, with higher quantity of flavonoids (18%) detected in the oil of A. occidentale. The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 24 and 9 chemical compounds, among which Pellitorine;2,4 Decadienamide, N-isobutyl-,(E, E)-, a potent insecticidal compound, was identified in the oil of Z. zanthoxyloides. Mortality rates of S. oryzae treated with the powder and oil extracts increased with higher concentrations and duration. Powder of Z. zanthoxyloides displayed mortality rates ranging from 6.67 ± 6.67 % to 100.00± 0.00% within 24 to 96 hours, whereas A. occidentale powder exhibited rates from 6.67 ± 3.33% to 80.00 ± 15.28%. Similar trend was observed in the oil treatment. These findings highlight the potential of Z. zanthoxyloides and A. occidentale extracts as ecofriendly alternatives for S. oryzae control in stored grains.

Published: July 2024

The idea of the existence of atoms begins with natural philosophy in the simplest way as an answer to the daily observation of the divisibility of material objects and to the question of the extreme limit to which this divisibility can really be pushed. Retracing the history of the idea of atomism is a fascinating adventure because it allows, over a very long period of time, to revisit the cultural, philosophical, artistic, socio-economic and scientific environments in which the various ideas regarding atoms have been discussed, contrasted and matured. The history of atomism, which is not yet finished, also offers a picture of the way in which science has progressed through attempts and ever new and even unpredictable acquisitions.
Come cambia il lavoro organizzato nell’epoca della digitalizzazione. Una lettura eliasiana
Authors: Albano Roberto
Published: July 2024

This paper contributes to the debate on the relationship between managerial control and organizational autonomy of employees, by highlighting the general directions in which this relationship has developed over time since the post-Fordist turn of half a century ago. These changes are accelerated and made more evident by the processes that go by the names of automation (1980s-1990s), informatization (mid-1990s-early 2000s), and digitization/Fourth Industrial Revolution. To this end, primary research data will not be analyzed here; instead, a rather diverse literature will be reviewed, both theoretical and empirical, addressing key themes for interpreting the changing situations of organized labor. The interpretative framework is primarily constituted by some conceptual categories borrowed from Norbert Elias’ processual sociology, summarized in the following points: a) the processual conception of social reality; b) power relations; c) the process of civilization; d) the relationship between I-identity and We-identity in contemporary society. Digitalization in organized work accentuates a most general trend, already clearly observable in the past but especially from the post-Fordist turn, towards forms of managerial control based more on employees self-control and assessment of outcomes than direct supervision of the work processes.
La ricerca sociale pubblica in Italia attraverso i percorsi di istituzionalizzazione: una ricostruzione introduttiva
Authors: Diana Paolo , Ferrari Giovannipaolo
Published: July 2024

This introductory essay examines the development and nuances of public social research in Italy, focusing on the influence and reception of Michael Burawoy’s ideas and the institutionalization of public sociology in the Italian context. Through a historical and critical analysis, important phases in the development of public sociology in Italy up to the present were identified. Finally, a systematic literature review was presented to quantify and analyze the scientific contributions in the field of public sociology and to show how the discipline has resonated in the debate within the Italian academic community. This work not only provides a historical and theoretical overview, but also contextualizes the current challenges and the role of sociology in the Italian public arena.

The Privatization of Protest: Demobilization and the Emergence of Political Violence in the Aftermath of Local Protest Campaigns
Authors: Lundstedt Mans
Published: July 2024

The processual approach to political violence suggests a close link between nonviolent and violent tactical repertoires. Yet in doing so it excludes cases where violence appears to appear in the absence of public protest activity. This article traces how political violence emerges in the aftermath of local protest campaigns against migrant accommodation. Developing the concept of the privatization of protest, the article shows how the demobilization of protest contributes to a process where grievances are reframed into private frustrations rather than objects of political contention. Transformed as such, persistent patterns of intermittent political violence can sometimes grow out of private interactions, even in the absence of any consistent public protest. Applying the conceptual apparatus of frames, emotions, opportunities and to a paired process tracing of episodes of protest against Swedish migrant accommodation in 2007-2008 and 2012-2017, the article maps the causal mechanisms that create facilitative conditions for violence, sometimes long after the decline of nonviolent protest. Extending its discussion beyond the case of Sweden, it links the processual approach to adjacent discussions on the link between micro- and meso-level causes of political violence.
Between Cooptation and Surveillance: Varieties of Civic Monitoring in Spain
Authors: Lo Piccolo Alessandra
Published: July 2024

Civic monitoring is a democratic practice that allows citizens to hold accountable powerholders and enhance the accountability of democratic systems. To date, democratic theorists and collective action scholars have stressed the relevance of monitoring by NGOs, social movement organizations, and alternative media to increase civil society’s watchdog potential, filter publicly relevant information, and ensure the inclusion of new voices and the representation of new instances in democratic arenas. However, little is known about how such diverse collective actors leverage monitoring practices, particularly in interaction with monitored actors and their constituencies. Focusing on the Spanish case (2011-2021), often considered a prominent example of monitory democracy, the study employs Situational Analysis and builds on semi-structured interviews and document analysis to discuss differences within the Spanish monitoring field. The results contribute to ongoing discussions on the hybridization of civic efforts and classifications of civic monitoring initiatives.
Working From the Backstage: A Longitudinal Analysis of the Save Sheikh Jarrah Campaign
Authors: Stagni Federica
Published: July 2024

This article explores the evolution of protests in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem, focusing on the shift in dynamics and the movement’s composition. The research employs a longitudinal perspective, utilizing Protest Event Analysis (PEA) and Qualitative Social Network Analysis (SNA) to trace changes in protest networks from 2000 to 2021. The study introduces the concept of a backstaging mechanism, highlighting the movement’s ability to strategically step aside to achieve its goals. This mechanism is examined through a triangulation of data, combining PEA and SNA results with insights from 20 interviews with activists from diverse ethnonational groups. The paper contributes to the literature on social movements by offering nuanced insights into the dynamics of protests involving varied groups and international organizations.
L’analisi scientifica del potere: il contributo della sociologia politica
Authors: Costabile Antonio
Published: July 2024

The article examines the evolving field of political sociology and highlights the need for a modern reassessment in the context of rapid global changes. The aim is to distinguish the framework of political sociology from that of other social sciences such as history, law and economics. The article emphasises the importance of understanding political power and its transformations in the context of crises such as economic downturns, pandemics and geopolitical conflicts. Reflecting on the seminal theories of Max Weber and Talcott Parsons, the discussion highlights how political power, legitimacy and the interplay with other forms of power (economic, technological, etc.) shape contemporary governance. Finally, the article suggests a focus on the dynamics of political power and its legitimacy in the globalised era, noting the growing influence of technological power and the complex challenges posed by modernity.
Per una storia del Movimento 5 Stelle incentrata sul nesso comunicazione-potere
Authors: Barbieri Giovanni , Montesanti Lucia , Veltri Francesca
Published: July 2024

This study aims to reconstruct the history of the Five Star Movement by taking the connection between communication and power as our main reference point. This choice is not accidental, given that this connection has acquired a greater relevance in our epoch, characterized by the emergence of mass self-communication and the so-called web society. Furthermore, so-called digital parties, whose activities are mainly based on digital technology, are currently spreading in many areas of the world. The main goals of this study consist of understanding how the communication-power link in the Five Star Movement has changed over time, identifying who actually holds power within it, and evaluating whether it is possible to still define it as a digital party.
Contentious Interation in Ultima Generazione (Last Generation). A Preliminary Analysis on Radicalization and Spin-off Movements
Authors: De Nardis Fabio , Galiano Angelo
Published: July 2024

With this article, we attempted to analyze the radicalization process of the Italian environmental movement with a particular focus on the birth and the practices of the group called Ultima Generazione (Last Generation). Using a qualitative-quantitative approach that integrated PEA (Protest Event Analysis) and participant observation, we tried to understand how a new insurgent consciousness emerged from the experience of the mobilizations promoted by Extinction Rebellion. In this sense, Last Generation is analyzed as a specific case of spin-off movement.
Oltre il “paradosso di genere”: l’identità di genere come “schema culturale” e “risorsa simbolica” nell’era delle singolarità
Authors: Cervia Silvia
Published: July 2024

The analysis of the so-called gender paradox represents the starting point of a theoretical-interpretative framework which, through a structuralist analysis of gender identity, intends to introduce understanding criteria capable of shedding new light on a paradox that only appears to be such. After examining the achievements of the most recent sociological literature on gender, with particular reference to the multidimensional perspectives that look at gender as a structure in the Giddensian sense, the article proposes an original interpretative framework that explores the potentialities of structuration theory, delving into the dual nature inherent in structures, through the recurrence of “cultural patterns” and “symbolic resources”. The second part of the article proposes a theoretical shift that assumes gender identity as a structure, to thematize the processes of social structuring that, starting from modernity, have led to the emergence of individuation processes, then declined, in late-modern societies, into individualization and singularization. The proposed interpretative framework allows, in the concluding part of the article, both to highlight how the gender paradox is not paradoxical at all, and to read the strong polarisation of the public debate around the redefinition of possible gender identifications as an expression of the new cleavage between hyper-culture and cultural essentialism.
Politicizzare la cura per curare la democrazia
Authors: Fariello Sara , Strazzeri Irene
Published: July 2024

“Taking care” involves a politics of relationships. Care has both a subjective and a relational dimension: starting from subjectivity, everyone opens up to vulnerability, dependence, fragility. Care is above all a practical path of spillage from the self and return to the self, enriched by the experience of the other. This paper proposes a reflection that starts from the founding myth of the essentiality of care and crosses the feminist critique of essentialism and the dialectical tension between mysticism and de-valuation. Focusing on the analysis provided by the so-called second school of ethics of care, it wants to reflect on the current possibility of making care a political paradigm for change and democratization of relationships and society.
