El Greco: Laocoonte
Authors: Sepp Hans Rainer
Published: February 2021

En este artículo, Hans Rainer Sepp estudia el cuadro de El Greco, Laocoonte, pasando desde la descripción puramente formal del cuadro (análisis de capas, juegos entre naturaleza, ciudad, cielo y Laocoonte y sus hijos) y el análisis simbólico del mismo (anticipación de la caída de Troya) hasta el análisis fenomenológico del conjunto pictórico. Análisis que reflejará no sólo la realidad de un mundo cambiante que se mueve entre el todo y la nada sino también la presencia del autor dentro del cuadro, creando un mundo aparente, una Troya toledana, que refleja el drama del artista, hostigado por el compromiso ético y la alternativa de la huída. Por ello, tal vez Laocoonte pueda ser visto como la respuesta de El Greco ante el dilema de la obra de arte. In this paper, Hans Rainer Sepp studies El Greco's Laocoon, from the purely formal description (layer analysis, games between nature, city, sky and Laocoon and his sons) and symbolic analysis (anticipation of the fall of Troy) to the phenomenological analysis of the pictorial whole. Analysis that highlights not only the reality of a changing world that moves between all and nothing, but the author's presence in the picture, creating a seeming world, a Troy-Toledo, and reflecting the drama of the artist, harassed by the ethical commitment and the alternative of the escape. Perhaps Laocoon can be seen as El Greco's answer to the dilemma of art.
Cuestiones terminológicas y comentarios de algunas cuestiones clave en la traducción de Análisis reflexivo de Lester Embree
Authors: Serra Pàges Carles Conrad
Published: February 2021

En esta ponencia presentaremos la traducción al catalán del libro Análisis Reflexivo, de Lester Embree, quien es probablemente el representante vivo más influyente y líder de la corriente fenomenológica que empezó con la New School For Social Research y cuya primera generación fue la de Dorion Cairns, Aaron Gurwitsch y Alfred Schutz. Esta tradición empieza con la publicación de Ideas de Husserl en 1913, por lo que la traducción de este libro no deja de ser un pequeño homenaje al libro en el año de su centenario. Contaremos cómo surgió y por qué decidimos emprender la traducción del libro, para pasar a exponer luego algunas dificultades terminológicas que aparecieron a lo largo de la traducción, así como justificar algunos de los términos que usamos para su traducción. Nos centraremos en los términos que pertenecen estrictamente a la tradición de la New School, como son ‘intentivity’ and ‘intentive process’, acuñados por Cairns, para pasar a explicar luego el término que Lester prefiere para referirse a aquello a lo que se refieren estos conceptos: ‘encounterings’. Finalmente, acabaremos por comentar la traducción de los términos ingleses ‘experience’ (que en catalán y en castellano se traduce por ‘experiencia’, que es un nombre pero no un verbo) y ‘objects as intended to’. En resumen, nuestra intención es presentar la traducción del libro Análisis Reflexivo al catalán y que esta presentación sea un humilde homenaje al autor.In this paper we are going to present the Catalan translation of the book Reflexive Analysis, by Lester Embree, who is probably the most influential living representative and leader of what once was the New School tendency in phenomenology headed by Dorion Cairns, Aron Gurswitch and Alfred Schutz. This tendency began with the publication of Husserl’s Ideas in 1913. In this way, the translation of this book is a small tribute to Ideas in the year of the celebration of its centenary. We will explain how and why we decided to translate Embree’s book, followed by an exposition of some of the terminological difficulties that came up during its translation, as well as the justification for some of our terminological decisions. We will focus on the terms that strictly belong to the tradition of the New School tendency, such as ‘intentiveness’ and ‘intentive process’, coined by Cairns, so as to proceed then to explain the term that Lester prefers to use to refer to what those terms refer to: ‘encounterings’. Finally, we will close this talk by commenting on the translation of the English words ‘experience’ (which in Catalan and in Spanish is translated as ‘experiència’, and which can act as a noun but not as a verb) and ‘objects as intended to’. Summarizing, our intention is to present the translation of the book Reflexive Analysis into Catalan and we expect this presentation to be a humble tribute to the author.

semiótica de Greimas na pesquisa brasileira em Design e Moda: triagem e mistura entre disciplinas
Authors: Barreto Bogo Marc , Braga Clemente Mariana
Published: February 2021

A Semiótica de linha francesa desenvolvida por A. J. Greimas e seus colaboradores tem como um de seus princípios colocar-se a serviço das outras ciências sociais e humanas. O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar um levantamento e entender como a arquitetura conceitual da teoria semiótica de Greimas é usada nas pesquisas das áreas de Design e Moda no Brasil. Nosso corpus de pesquisa são as teses e dissertações defendidas até o ano de 2019 em 25 programas de pós-graduação dessas áreas, filtradas segundo o uso ou menção de autores do campo da teoria semiótica francesa. O problema foi compreender se e como a Semiótica de Greimas apresenta-se em interdisciplinaridade com as pesquisas desenvolvidas nos programas de pós-graduação em Design e Moda brasileiros. De um universo total de 2.854 teses e dissertações disponíveis nos bancos de dados online, encontramos 90 trabalhos que fazem uso da Semiótica de Greimas. Partindo da oposição entre os modos do fazer científico por triagem ou por mistura, identificamos nos resultados localizados uma tipologia das relações entre disciplinas, que podem se dar tanto como operações de separação ou de comparação (lógicas de triagem), quanto como operações de combinação ou de indiferenciação (lógicas de mistura). No geral, encontramos uma quantidade maior de trabalhos pertencentes à lógica da mistura do que à lógica da triagem, o que evidencia a própria natureza interdisciplinar das áreas de Design, Moda e Semiótica.
(Re)criar Fashion Contextual Studies:uma visão gerativa da Sociossemiótica no ensino superior de Moda e Design
Authors: Jardim Marilia
Published: February 2021

O artigo apresenta uma abordagem pedagógica no Ensino Superior de Artes e Design que não se fundamenta exclusivamente na Pedagogia, mas se desenvolve em torno da Sociossemiótica que deixa de ser uma teoria de análise crítica para se tornar uma ferramenta explorada em seu potencial gerativo, construindo práticas que serão colocadas em discurso. Desde a concepção do programa até a dinâmica nas sessões presenciais e online, o programa que constitui o caso principal deste trabalho foi idealizado, projetado e executado utilizando os princípios da Semiótica de Greimas (1986, 1987, 2002; GREIMAS & COURTÉS, 1993 ) e a Semiótica dos discursos e das interações desenvolvidas por Landowski (2004, 2005, 2009, 2010) e Oliveira (2002, 2013). O percurso pelas três marcas da discursivização – tempo, espaço e pessoa – permitirá a apresentação das teorias utilizadas na construção do programa e, ao mesmo tempo, a construção de pontes com outras áreas do conhecimento, incluindo a Pedagogia Crítica de Freire (1970), refletindo sobre a importância destas marcas no processo de construção de práticas educacionais que “fazem sentido”.
Um olhar sobre formas e composições no design de interiores sob a ótica da arte
Authors: De Oliveira Ana Beatriz Alonso , Felipe Luciene Contiero , Pereira Marcus Vinicius
Published: February 2021

Este artigo objetiva comunicar uma monografia de pós-graduação.  Trata- se de uma análise do livro “Universos da Arte” da Fayga Ostrower e sua relação com o design de interiores. Para tanto, utilizou-se como base o experimento mostrado no livro, onde a autora aborda sobre as aulas que ministrou para operários de fábrica sobre conceitos de composição e forma com o objetivo de auxiliá-los a compreender obras de arte. No primeiro momento da pesquisa contextualiza-se como foi feito este experimento e quais são esses conceitos, para em seguida demonstrar sua aplicabilidade no design de interiores. Esta pode ser observada através da análise feita entre a correlação dos projetos da arquiteta e designer Patricia Urquiola com a aplicação sob a ótica central do tema.
Ensino da Arte: contribuições semióticas
Authors: Buoro Anamelia
Published: February 2021

Este artigo apresenta algumas reflexões sobre o ensino de arte, pautando-as no processo construção de materiais didáticos e paradidáticos que foram concebidos a partir da teoria semiótica de linha francesa – individualmente ou de modo coletivo pela autora. A partir da conjectura das duas disciplinas, arte e semiótica, foram estabelecidos parâmetros para a produção dos referidos materiais, sempre com o objetivo de propor um aprofundamento na compreensão da arte, por parte dos alunos, bem como ampliar o modo de aprender e ensinar arte, por parte dos professores. Assim, a leitura de imagem orientada pelo arcabouço teórico e metodológico da semiótica francesa, conforme será apresentada no artigo, foi o ponto de partida para a produção dos materiais discutidos neste trabalho: arte br, a coleção O leitor de imagens, Eco Arte, Todo passado dentro do presente e o Arte na Escola.
A experiência docente de Mário de Andrade no Instituto de Artes da Universidade do Distrito Federal ― RJ (1938-1939)
Authors: Peres José Roberto Pereira
Published: February 2021

Este artigo traz uma reflexão sobre a experiência docente de Mário de Andrade, quando o renomado poeta assumiu a cadeira de Filosofia e História da Arte no Instituto de Artes da Universidade do Distrito Federal (RJ) ― IA/UDF. A referida universidade foi criada por Anísio Teixeira em 1935 na Cidade do Rio de Janeiro, à época Capital Federal. A UDF era uma instituição diferenciada porque tinha como carro chefe a formação de professores para diferentes áreas do conhecimento. Muitos foram os embates enfrentados por esta instituição que teve curta existência (1935 a 1939). Nessa instituição, além de Mário de Andrade, também atuaram como professores figuras eminentes da arte modernista brasileira. Dessa forma, o objetivo central desta pesquisa é compreender quais foram as contribuições de Mário de Andrade como professor no Instituto de Artes da UDF para formação de professores de Artes (Desenho e Pintura) da referida instituição. O referencial teórico que norteia as reflexões desta pesquisa baseia-se nos trabalhos dos seguintes autoras: Bomeny (2012), Coutinho (2002), Lopes (2006, 2009) e Mendonça (2002). A metodologia consistiu-se em análise documental dos acervos das seguintes instituições: Programa de Estudos e Documentação Educação e Sociedade da UFRJ; Projeto Portinari da PUC-Rio e Hemeroteca Digital da Biblioteca Nacional. A análise das fontes permitiu confirmar o caráter modernista do ensino do Instituto de Artes da UDF, além de que Mário de Andrade intencionava despertar em seus alunos uma consciência artística a partir do desenvolvimento de uma técnica pessoal, sem limitar o artista a padrões estabelecidos rigidamente.

Policentryczność regionów miejskich w Polsce = Polycentricity of urban regions in Poland
Authors: Bartosiewicz Bartosz , Marcińczak Szymon
Published: February 2021

Studies dealing with the issue of polycentric urban development, both functional and morphological, often promote different approaches to the measurement of polycentricity. Relying on data on commuting patterns and the intra-regional distribution of population in Poland in 2011, we apply two measures of polycentricity to shed more light on the functional and morphological development of urban regions in Poland. We also explore the relationship between the two dimensions of polycentricity, using a functional/morphological primacy index and a general functional polycentricity index. The results reveal regions for which the different measures suggest divergent conclusions, while also implying that the measure used can determine the strength and statistical significance of the relationship between the two dimensions to polycentricity. As, in our view, it is the measure advocated by Burger et al. (2011) that best seems to differentiate between the different forms of urban structure, we use this to summarise patterns of polycentric urban development in Poland. The results illustrate: the statistical significance of the relationship between the two (morphological and functional) dimensions to polycentricity in Poland’s urban regions, and the way in which the level of functional polycentricity is higher than the degree of functional polycentricity.
Se mobiliser contre l’expulsion d’un bidonville en région parisienne
Authors: Véniat Céline
Published: February 2021

Comment les familles d’un bidonville menacées d’expulsion se mobilisent-elles pour remédier à un trouble qui les touche de manière sensible et transposent-elles des émotions ressenties sur le terrain en problème public ? Pour le comprendre, cet article sera articulé autour des différentes étapes de la mobilisation, de la réaction à l’annonce de l’expulsion à l’élaboration d’un communiqué de presse, puis à l’expression de la parole des habitants dans un espace de discussions publiques. La description de la mobilisation permet de suivre la constitution d’un micro-public, tous en rendant compte de négociations en coulisses et tout en distinguant plusieurs « cercles de concernement ». Dans un cercle central, les habitants du bidonville subissent l’événement en première ligne, en anticipant des conséquences matérielles directes sur leur vie. Dans un cercle plus ample, les militantes du collectif de soutien en tirent un préjudice affectif, moral et politique car elles ont consacré du temps et de l’énergie à aider les familles au quotidien, avec lesquelles elles ont noué des relations de sociabilité. À la périphérie de ce cercle, un certain nombre de personnes qui partagent un sentiment d’injustice à l’égard du sort des familles vont l’exprimer en participant à la mobilisation.
L’émergence de la cause des pauvres
Authors: Cortinas Muñoz Joan
Published: February 2021

À partir des années 1970, avoir un revenu inférieur au seuil de pauvreté est progressivement devenu dans plusieurs pays européens la justification d’un nouveau type de politique sociale : le « Revenu minimum d’insertion ». Celui-ci est pensable grâce à une série d’acteurs qui élaborent, à travers la notion de pauvreté, une nouvelle représentation des situations de nécessité, tout en militant pour des politiques destinées à les arrêter : les politiques de lutte contre la pauvreté. Pour ces militants de la cause des pauvres, les situations de nécessité ne sont pas seulement liées au fait d’avoir ou non un emploi, mais aussi à une multitude de facteurs interdépendants (formation, situation familiale, état de santé, etc.). Les travaux constructivistes existant sur les promoteurs de la cause des pauvres pointent les transformations du catholicisme d’après-guerre et de la pensée de gauche des années 1960 comme les deux conditions de possibilité de cette nouvelle cause. Cependant, le cas espagnol nous permet de constater que l’émergence de la cause des pauvres s’explique également par des éléments propres au contexte sociopolitique national et international : fin du franquisme, transformations au sein de l’Église vaticane et construction de la Communauté économique européenne.
Del suicidio de Judas al salto de Pármeno: codicia, traición y caídas mortales en La Celestina
Authors: Beltrán Rafael
Published: February 2021

El artículo se propone el estudio de las influencias de los motivos de la traición y suicidio de Judas Iscariote en las caídas mortales de cuatro personajes principales de La Celestina. Judas encarna, mejor que ningún otro personaje bíblico, la trayectoria del pecador, desde la lealtad y la traición hasta la desesperación y la muerte suicida. Se examina la figura literaria e iconográfica de la codicia, traición y suicidio de Judas en la Edad Media, centrándonos en los dos tipos de suicidio que refleja la Biblia. Se analizan las caídas accidentales (Calisto), los saltos mortales al  vacío (Sempronio y Pármeno) y el suicidio (Melibea); las imágenes de representación de la traición (la bolsa de las monedas); y, finalmente, la trayectoria de Pármeno, que va, como la de Judas, desde fidelidad del buen criado, pasando por la codicia y la traición, hasta el salto mortal hacia el vacío desesperado.
La Celestina como modelo de Rafael Chirbes en Crematorio
Authors: Llamas Martínez Jacobo
Published: February 2021

Chirbes manifestó su inclinación por La Celestina principalmente en el artículo «Sin piedad ni  speranza. (Revolución literaria en La Celestina)», pero también en entrevistas promocionales de En la orilla, en entradas de A ratos perdidos, sus diarios inéditos, y en las marcas de lectura de las dos ediciones de la obra conservadas en la Fundació Rafael Chirbes (la de Peter E. Russell del año 1991 y la de Francisco J. Lobera et alii del año 2000). En este artículo se comparan los juicios de Chirbes sobre el texto de Rojas con la estructura y la forma monologada de Crematorio; con los tipos, las relaciones y el registro de sus personajes; y con su tono y ambiente ruin.

Published: February 2021

La lista es larga y variada: princesas a las que no dejaron reinar, guerreras denostadas, escritoras bajo pseudónimos masculinos, científicas invisibles… Los historiadores y la sociedad, en general, no les dieron –ni les dan todavía– el lugar correspondiente. Los relatos que nos han llegado sobre sus vidas distan mucho de la realidad. Afortunadamente, y movidas por la fuerza del movimiento feminista, las industrias culturales y del entretenimiento están reinterpretando su verdadera historia, otorgando a estas mujeres el sitio que les fue arrebatado.

Intuitionistic fuzzy based regular and normal spaces
Authors:   Department of Mathematics, Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology, Prova Tamanna Tasnim , Hossain Md. Sahadat ,   Department of Mathematics, University of Rajshahi
Published: February 2021

In this paper, we define the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy based regular and normal spaces. We also study that classical regular and normal spaces are also intuitionistic fuzzy based regular and normal spaces but the converses are not true in general. This notion opens up a new conception of generalization of classical regular and normal spaces. The hereditary and topological properties of intuitionistic fuzzy based regular and normal spaces have been also investigated. Moreover, by setting some examples we show that every intuitionistic fuzzy based regular space as well as intuitionistic fuzzy based normal space need not be T1 spaces. Finally, it is shown that under some conditions the images and homeomorphic images are preserved in intuitionistic fuzzy based regular and normal spaces.
Robustness of the microtubule network self-organization in epithelia
Authors: Płochocka Aleksandra Z , Ramirez Moreno Miguel , Davie Alexander M , Bulgakova Natalia A , Chumakova Lyubov
Published: February 2021

Robustness of biological systems is crucial for their survival, however, for many systems its origin is an open question. Here, we analyze one subcellular level system, the microtubule cytoskeleton. Microtubules self-organize into a network, along which cellular components are delivered to their biologically relevant locations. While the dynamics of individual microtubules is sensitive to the organism’s environment and genetics, a similar sensitivity of the overall network would result in pathologies. Our large-scale stochastic simulations show that the self-organization of microtubule networks is robust in a wide parameter range in individual cells. We confirm this robustnessin vivoon the tissue-scale using genetic manipulations ofDrosophilaepithelial cells. Finally, our minimal mathematical model shows that the origin of robustness is the separation of time-scales in microtubule dynamics rates. Altogether, we demonstrate that the tissue-scale self-organization of a microtubule network depends only on cell geometry and the distribution of the microtubule minus-ends.
Pre-existing bilayer stresses modulate triglyceride accumulation in the ER versus lipid droplets
Authors: Zoni Valeria , Khaddaj Rasha , Campomanes Pablo , Thiam Abdou Rachid , Schneiter Roger , Vanni Stefano
Published: February 2021

Cells store energy in the form of neutral lipids (NLs) packaged into micrometer-sized organelles named lipid droplets (LDs). These structures emerge from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) at sites marked by the protein seipin, but the mechanisms regulating their biogenesis remain poorly understood. Using a combination of molecular simulations, yeast genetics, and fluorescence microscopy, we show that interactions between lipids’ acyl-chains modulate the propensity of NLs to be stored in LDs, in turn preventing or promoting their accumulation in the ER membrane. Our data suggest that diacylglycerol, which is enriched at sites of LD formation, promotes the packaging of NLs into LDs, together with ER-abundant lipids, such as phosphatidylethanolamine. On the opposite end, short and saturated acyl-chains antagonize fat storage in LDs and promote accumulation of NLs in the ER. Our results provide a new conceptual understanding of LD biogenesis in the context of ER homeostasis and function.
Lumbosacral Spondylodiscitis- An Atypical Localisation of SalmonellaTyphi Infection: A Case Report
Authors: Vinayan Sruthi , Karnaker Vimal , Sreelatha V , Nair Sanjana
Published: February 2021

Salmonella belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. The various members of the genus cause diseases that are important public health problems. Apart from causing typhoid, Salmonella can cause an array of diseases ranging from osteomyelitis to meningitis, though rare. Herein, authors report one such uncommon scenario, in an otherwise healthy 40-year-old female who presented with lower back pain. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was suggestive of lumbosacral spondylodiscitis and she underwent a spine stabilisation surgery. The pathogen was confirmed to be Salmonella Typhi by microbiological workup. She responded well to treatment with ceftriaxone. This case report implies the significance of culture studies in the early management of the patient. It is imperative for the diagnosis, as the symptoms of the aforementioned disease are usually non-specific and imaging studies are indiscernible from spine tuberculosis.

Este artigo traz resultados de estudos e pesquisa sobre as mudanças e as permanências da história de Soure como componente curricular nas séries iniciais do ensino fundamental, entre os anos de 1985 a 1989, por meio da experiência da Escola em Regime de Convênio Instituto Stella Maris. Constituída como pesquisa do tipo histórico educacional, ancorou-se no referencial teórico da história das disciplinas escolares e da história do currículo propostas por André Chervel e Ivor Goodson, respectivamente. As análises sinalizam que, durante o processo de redemocratização no Brasil, os estudos da História, nesse nível de ensino, são apresentados com mais centralidade, contudo a concepção de história nacional centrada na história dos grandes centros urbanos é responsável pela diminuta presença da história local no currículo escolar.
Physicochemical Research of Mineral and Mountain Spring Waters in Bulgaria
Authors: Ignatov Ignat
Published: February 2021

In Bulgaria is observed a great variety of spring waters. They are mineral and mountain spring waters. According to their temperature they can be cold (up to 37° С), warm (from 37° C to 60° C) and hot (over 60° C). This is Bulgarian standard, European Union.

The mountain spring waters are cold with temperature up to 25° С.

In Bulgaria for drinking mineral and mountain spring waters are valid Ordinance No 9 / 2001, Official State Gazette, issue 30, and decree No. 178 / 23.07.2004.

By their chemical composition they fall into three categories – low mineralized (up to 2 g/L), moderately mineralized (2 to 15 g/L) and highly mineralized (15 – 30 g/L). According to their chemical composition the mineral waters are divided into sulphate, sulfide, hydrogen carbonate, chloride and carbonic. With regards to their gas composition they are nitrogen, sea and carbonic waters.

The objective of the current study is to show springs examined by physicochemical parameters and correspond to Ordinance No 9 / 2001, Official State Gazette, issue 30, and decree No 178 / 23.07.2004 about the quality of water intended for drinking and household purposes.

In the current study mineral waters and mountain spring waters from mountain regions of Bulgaria have been studied. It is well known that in the mountain areas of Bulgaria live the most of long-living people and centenarians. The studies are conducted by microbiological laboratory of Trakia University, Stara Zagora headed by Nedyalka Valcheva, accredited laboratory Eurotest Control, and the laboratory of Scientific Research Center of Medical Biophysics.
Utilization of ICTs in Agricultural Marketing Information Delivery in Charland of Bangladesh

Published: February 2021

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays a significant role in delivering agricultural marketing information to the door-steps of the agrarian community for effectively managing the farming practices and getting maximum profitability. However, the agrarian community in the rural areas, particularly in the Charland areas are yet to exploit this opportunity. Hence, this study was conducted to assess the status of ICT’s utilization in receiving agricultural marketing information in a selected Charland area of Bangladesh. The study was descriptive and diagnostic type research, conducted through primary data collection from the 120 farmers by a face to face interview technique. Findings revealed that almost 60% of the sampled respondents seek information related to agricultural marketing.  Although a significant number of the farmers had access to different ICT tools such as mobile phones, radio, and television, the majority of them depends on peer-group farmers and the union digital center as the key sources of marketing-related information. Nonetheless, 26.58% of ownership farmers utilized ICTs for getting agricultural marketing information. Low access to electricity connection and their interrupted supply, lack of sales and customer delivery center for ICT-based tools in the rural areas, and insufficient training and awareness building initiatives are major challenges for effective utilization of ICTs by the rural Charland farmers.

The climate is changing at a fast rate and the impact of the same can now be felt across all the world. The worst hit is the Asian countries which are the most vulnerable when it comes to extreme events. To cope with same, local level actions are the most effective if originated from local community and local context. Traditional wisdom originates from deep cultural and environmental considerations along with generations transformation that transcends these traditional practices to a much-suited action with respect to resiliency. The paper establishes the role of such traditional practices in the achievement of climate resilience in communities. The authors draw insights from the existing indigenous practices from various Asian countries and try to analyze the various challenges and potential in adoption of such practices on larger scale. The paper concludes with recommendations to overcome such challenges.
Pollution of Mpanga River by Kabundaire Abattoir Effluents, Fort Portal Tourism City, Uganda
Authors: Businge Fred , Kagoya Sarah , Omara Timothy , Angiro Christopher
Published: February 2021

Aim: Abattoirs are one of the most pronounced but yet ignored sources of highly recalcitrant wastewater that has significant impacts on the environment. The aim of this study was to assess the impacts of Kabundaire abattoir effluents on the quality of water in the receiving Mpanga river, Fort Portal tourism city of Uganda. The study also estimated the amount of water used and wastewater generated in the facility between December 2018 and December 2019, and the number of animals slaughtered per month in the abattoir.

Study Design: This research employed a quantitative research design.

Place and Duration of Study: Samples were collected from six different sites of Mpanga river at intervals of 2 km from Fort Portal town: upstream (Kahungabunyoni and Kagote A), midstream/ effluent discharge point (Kabundaire and Mpanga market) and downstream (Rwabuhinga and Kitumba) along Mpanga river stretch in the morning and evening hours. The analyses were done at National Water & Sewerage Corporation, Fort Portal, Uganda. The sampling and experimental work was done between May 2019 and August 2019.

Methodology: The physicochemical properties (pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, total nitrates and total phosphates) and microbiological (Escherichia coli and total coliform) profile of the water samples were determined following standard methods. To quantify the amount of water used and wastewater generated, the number of cattle, goats and sheep slaughtered per day between December 2018 and April 2019 were retrieved from abattoir records and extrapolated.

Results: Analytical results indicated that the  evaluated water quality parameters were in the range of 6.93 ± 0.02 to 7.90 ± 0.16, 22.0 ± 0.14 ℃ to 23.6 ± 0.26 ℃, 0.01 ± 0.00 mg/L to 0.26 ± 0.02 mg/L, 6.30 ± 0.03 mg/L to 10.00 ± 0.03 mg/L, 4.20 ± 0.05 mg/L to 9.70 ± 0.02 mg/L, 4 × 102 CFU/mL to 48 × 103 CFU/mL, 1.4 × 104 CFU/mL to 6.6 × 106 CFU/mL for pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, total phosphates, total nitrates, Escherichia coli and total coliforms, respectively. Most of the parameters were above permissible limits except pH, temperature and total nitrates. An average of 133 cattle, 78 goats and 33 sheep are slaughtered in Kabundaire abattoir every month. The actual number varies by month, depending on the demand for meat. The amount of water used, and the wastewater generated were estimated at 15,768 m3/year and 18,396 m3/year, respectively.

Conclusion: Discharge of effluents from Kabundaire abattoir into Mpanga river negatively affects its water quality. Mpanga river water is not safe for domestic use without further treatment/purification. We recommend that an anaerobic wastewater treatment facility should be installed at Kabundaire abattoir to enhance environmental conservation. Further studies should determine the actual amount of water used and wastewater generated at the facility.

Gongronema latifolium is a herbaceous plant consumed as a traditional folk medicine. The aim of this work is to evaluate the anti-lipid peroxidation activity and other antioxidant effects of the plant leaf extract of Gongronema latifolium using various in vitro models. Lipid peroxidation was first induced in egg yolk and bovine liver homogenate using the ascorbate-ferrous system and incubated with the plant extract at different concentrations. In another experiment, hydrogen peroxide was used to induce erythrocyte hemolysis and lipid peroxidation and those erythrocytes were incubated with the extract. Finally the potential ferrous reducing ability, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities of the plant extract were also analyzed. It revealed that the leaf extract significantly reduced chemically-induced lipid peroxidation in both homogenates when compared to quercetin. The extract also reduced both hydrogen peroxide-induced hemolysis and lipid peroxidation in erythrocytes. The extract also possessed significant abilities to reduce ferric ions, scavenge both hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide. In most cases, the responses were concentration-dependent (p < 0.05). The findings are ascribed to the important phytochemicals which are antioxidant in nature hence the plant could be exploited both pharmacologically and neutraceutically.

Published: February 2021

The number of the elderly is increasing globally, and as a consequence the number of geriatric health problems also increased, including parasitic infection. The skin and the GI tract were among the most common locations of parasitic infections of the elderly. Underlying biological and social problems can prevent their independence in maintaning basic personal hygiene which made them depend on other’s help, permanently. These seniors sometimes become the permanent residence of nursing homes. their dependence made them attached very close to the staff or other helper, even maintaining the basic function of life like eating. If this helper actually a parasitic agent carrier, parasitic infection transmission will be made easy by this symbiotic relationship. Besides behavior, some biological factors, e.g immunosenescence and or organ dysfunction, may contribute to infection.

Authors: Rajapakshe Wasantha
Published: February 2021

The study investigates how to work satisfaction influences workers' life satisfaction with job attribute assessment. Two hundred ninety-five operational level employees from 03 insurance companies in Sri Lanka were selected through Simple Random Sampling. The structural equation modeling approach (SEM) was applied to test the hypotheses. It has been discovered that employees' work satisfaction depends on work hazards; job characteristics and job attribute assessment, while job attributes assessment affected work benefits and cost, work hazards and job characteristics. The paper's findings revealed a strong positive relationship between work satisfaction and life satisfaction. It can be concluded that even though labor turnover is high among insurance workers, their life satisfaction depends on work satisfaction. These results denote that managers should speciﬁcally attempt to target enhancing work satisfaction by eliminating work hazards and setting job tasks along with building a good rapport with supervisor and employee, according to employee’s job position. The study recommends that policymakers identify workers' felt needs and satisfy those needs for a contented workforce to minimize labor turnover.

Weeds are the major reason for economic losses in paddy production. Despite advances made in weed control, they continue to cause serious crop losses. Presently in India, majorly weeding in machine transplanted paddy fields was done by manually operated cono weeder which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. The objective of this research was to design and develop a self-propelled unit for manually operated cono weeder. A self-propelled power unit is developed at the workshop of CAE, JNKVV, Jabalpur, with the power by the Honda engine of 1.3 (hp) petrol engines. It is a compact low weight machine, self-propelled with a positive drive system by using a chain and sprocket transmission system. The working width of the developed weeder was 150mm. It was found that the self-propelled power unit with cono weeder has a field capacity of 0.033ha/h with 73.92% weeding efficiency and 89 % field efficiency. Similarly, for manually operated cono weeder has a field capacity of 0.0202 ha/h with 76.68 % weeding efficiency and 86 % field efficiency. Among the two weeders, man-hours are required for a hectare field is 30.35 man-h/ha for a self-propelled unit with a cono weeder as compared with a manually operated cono weeder i.e., 49man-h/ha. The operational cost of weeding was maximum in manually operated cono weeder of 1531.25 Rs/ha as compared with self-propelled unit cono weeder of 1403.43 Rs/ha.

Aims: Patients referred with red flag colorectal cancer symptoms are seen within 2 weeks of referral and require completion of treatment within 62 days of referral.  The demand on resources is such that the remit of this rapid access pathway (RAP) is to diagnose or exclude cancer quickly.  It is hypothesised that patients on these pathways are less likely to have their symptoms addressed and more likely to be dissatisfied with the service received.

Study Design: Questionnaire based study of all patients attending new colorectal outpatient appointments, both routine and RAP.

Place and Duration of Study: All patients referred the colorectal department at West Suffolk Hospital, a district general hospital, during January 2018 were sent a questionnaire 6 months later.

Methodology: Results were analysed for statistically significant differences between the two groups in relation to patient satisfaction.

Results: Of 273 new patients, questionnaires were returned by 78 patients attending rapid access clinics and 61 attending routine new appointments. There was no significant difference in the overall level of satisfaction with the overall investigation and management process between patients seen in rapid access clinics or routine new appointments (P = 0.867). Patients on the RAP were less likely to have been given a diagnosis (p = 0.001) or advice on managing their symptoms (P = 0.002). When assessing a number of variables, only patients whose symptoms had resolved were significantly more satisfied with the overall care pathway (P = 0.037).

Conclusion:  Patients seen on the RAP are not less satisfied with their care.

The marketing information system plays a vital role in marketing planning. Profitable development of a shipping company can only come from a continual commitment to matching the shipping enterprise’s capabilities with customers’ needs. In order that the shipping company can be certain this matching process is taking place effectively, it is necessary that a two-way information flow exists between the client and the firm. Sound shipping marketing plans rely on sound marketing strategies, and this requires the organization of information into a comprehensible, rational and systematic structure. This paper presents the structure of the Shipping Marketing Information System and examines the commercial, economical and managerial aspects ensued from its operation. No previous research has been conducted on the implementation of the marketing information system in the Cypriot shipping companies. Therefore, the importance of this research lies in the fact that it provides useful and valid data for evaluating the role of the marketing information system as a success factor of shipping business in Cyprus. More specifically, this paper aims to explore the main aspects of the marketing information system by developing knowledge, theories and procedures.

Optimal scale production of biogas from the anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic wastes (OWs) as substrates has become one of stimulating environment-friendly procedures to foster the replacement of fossil energies by renewable ones. AD of OWs generated from households is desirable as an effective method to fight against environmental pollution effects of the latter in developing countries. Notably in Africa where each year there are more than 600,000 premature deaths following the use of solid biomass energy (especially charcoal). Yet, if assessing the potential of biogas production, that is, biochemical methane potential (BMP) has played a prominent role in the choice of substrates, in the other hand the evaluation of the optimal ratio between the quantity of variety OWs and the amount of energy to be produced has not received several attentions. The latter is valuable not only for energetic productivity but also for profitability. Thus, in this report, an energetic balance between the amount of leaves and stems of Manihot Utilissima (MU) annually produced as well as the energetic potential of their biogas were investigated. Cow manure (CM) was employed as inoculum, under mesophilic conditions of the collection sites: Ngaba and Ndjili in Kinshasa City Province (KCP), Congo DR, where the leaves and stems of MU are among the most generated wastes. Furthermore, we evaluated the         fertilizing potential of digestates from the AD of the leaves and stems by their Carbon/Nitrogen (C/N) ratios.

The annual energetic potentials of biogas produced were estimated to be 1.362 ± 0.028 109 kWh for the leaves and 0.337 ± 0.006 109 kWh for the stems. These were associated to the energy needs for the KCP households corresponding to the use of charcoal. The latter was evaluated to be 166 103 tons for leaves and 41 103 tons for the stems of MU, respectively.

The fertilizing potential of digestates from the AD of the leaves and stems of MU assessed by their C/N ratios were determined to be 5 and 10, respectively; indicating that they are favorable for the cultivation of vegetables and fruit trees in KCP soils (C/N~5) but also optimal for the organisms, soil conditioning and could improve the soils hydraulic conductivity (C/N~10).
