Mothers certainly know that the main intake for babies is breast milk. However, in some cases, babies are forced to be fed infant formula to replace breast milk if according to medical indications and on the advice of medical personnel. Always consult a medical professional for the use of infant formula. Although the content is different from breast milk, now infant formula has been formulated with various kinds of nutrients that are good for baby's growth and development. For this reason, so that babies get adequate nutrition for their growth and development, the dose of baby's milk must be adjusted to their age and weight. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with formula feeding in infants aged 0-6 months. The research method used in this study is a cross sectional survey method. The population in this study were all mothers who had babies 0-6 months totaling 34 people. Samples were taken by total sampling, that is, the entire population was sampled. The results of this study prove that there is a relationship between information media, education, work and knowledge with the provision of formula milk to infants aged 0-6 months at the Rengas Health Center in 2019.

Employment Problems of Muslim Migrants in France (Exemplified by Paris). Part 1
Authors:   Kemerovo State University, Zholudeva Natal’ya R. , Vasyutin Sergey A.
Published: January 2022

The first part of the article briefly covers the history of immigration to France, social conflicts associated with migrants, and the results of French research on discrimination of immigrants in employment. In spite of the high unemployment rate, compared with other European Union countries, France remains one of the centres of migration and receives a significant number of migrants and refugees every year. The origins of immigration to France go back to the mid-19th century. Initially, it was mainly for political reasons, in order to find a job or receive an education. Between the First and the Second World Wars, France accepted both political (e.g. from Russia, Germany and Spain) and labour migrants (from Africa and Indo-China). After World War II, the French government actively invited labour migrants from the French colonies, primarily, from North Africa (Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco). When the Algerian War ended, the Harkis – Algerians who served in the French Army – found refuge in France. By the late 1960s, the Moroccan and Tunisian communities were formed. Up to the 1980s, labour migration was predominant. However, with time, the share of refugees and those who wanted to move to France with their families started to increase. This caused a growing social and political tension in French society resulting in conflicts (e.g. the 2005 riots in Paris). Moreover, the numerous terrorist attacks and the migration crisis of 2014–2016 had a particularly negative impact on the attitude towards migrants. All these issues have to a certain extent affected the employment of the Muslim population in France.
Interaction of the Synod and Its Institutions with the Secret Chancellery in the First Half of the 1720s
Authors:   Vologda Law and Economics Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia (VILE of the FPS of Russia), Pavlushkov Aleksandr R.
Published: January 2022

This article studies the mechanism of interaction of the Synod, its institutions and bodies of the central church administration with the Secret Chancellery during the first half of the 1720s. The analysis is based on the documents of the Synod containing correspondence with the Secret Chancellery. This study is a continuation of the research on the relationship between the Secret Chancellery and the Russian Orthodox Church, whose resluts had been published earlier. A deeper immersion in the topic provided greater insights into the joint activities of the synodal institutions and Russia’s main penal body at the time, as well as revealed the details of the most important contacts and pertinent problems. Of particular importance is the activity of the Chancellery of the Most Holy Synod, through which official correspondence with the Secret Chancellery and control over the implementation of its decisions as well as defrocking of priests before the start of investigation were carried out. Further, the paper describes the categories of convicts who were sent to the Synod from the Secret Chancellery and looks into the differences in their position. Contrary to the prevailing opinion about the absence of relations between the Synod and the Secret Chancellery, the author concludes that in practice there was a certain mechanism of interaction, which concerned investigations regarding the accused from among the clergy and their commital, as well as granting official requests from both parties, sending ecclesiastical experts, and enforcing sentences of the Secret Chancellery. In addition, facts are considered that testify to extremely complex and contradictory relations between the Synod and the Secret Chancellery. The author concludes that the relationship between these institutions was not systemic, but developed in the context of the state’s general advance on the church and subordination of the latter and the clergy to state interests. The mechanism of interaction between the Synod and the Secret Chancellery was formed in line with this trend as well.

The Story of Coraline(s): A Gothic Coming of Age
Authors: Torres-Fernández J. Javier
Published: January 2022

This study deals with Coraline (2002), the novel by Neil Gaiman, and Coraline (2009), the animated adaptation directed by Henry Selick based on Gaiman’s book. While Gothic stories often emphasize and question human morality, children’s literature usually holds a moralizing value. Neil Gaiman’s Coraline presents a story within the genre of children’s literature that seems to be deeply rooted in the Gothic tradition. Some of the fundamental gothic elements in Coraline’s story are the presence of ghosts, grotesque beings, and the existence of a parallel and dark universe that serves as the setting for the story. Coraline deals with anxieties related with personal development, growing up, and the environments that surround her. Gothic content within both the book and the film contribute to the undermining of the idealization of Coraline’s family, her own process of growing up, and her coping with moving to a completely different place. The creation of the gothic world is exploited in both works to represent Coraline’s coming-of-age experience and her conflict with her family. However, despite Selick’s film being a faithful and well-delivered adaptation of Gaiman’s novel, there are considerable differences that affect how the audience interprets Coraline as a character and her story, which this analysis will highlight.
Norms for Outer Space: A Small Step or a Giant Leap for Policymaking?
Authors: West Jessica , Azcárate Ortega Almudena
Published: January 2022

Space is increasingly critical to modern life on Earth. But there is growing concern that, as it becomes more economically and strategically important, tensions between different space actors are heightening in a manner that could lead to conflict. The accelerating proliferation of counterspace capabilities, as well as the enactment of national policies that deem space an operational or warfighting domain, underlines the very real nature of threats that exist and highlights the importance of keeping space peaceful. To address these challenges, some experts in space security have called for more robust norms of behaviour in outer space. This report explores the role of norms as a tool for outer space governance, as well as their challenges and limitations.

Authors: Rastogi Verma Smita , Yadav Saanya , Luthra Ritika
Published: January 2022

There has been an increase in the incidence of diseases and injuries which has encouraged the advancements in treatments that could repair tissues as well as minimize the dependence on organ transplantation and tissue loss. Regenerative medicine based on stem cells is a newer integrative domain that has the potential to facilitate the regeneration of diseased and damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells can be effectively exploited for medical purposes with no severe challenges, according to a wide range of literature as well as long-term human and animal studies conducted on them. Amongst several types of stem cells, placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells possess unique immunomodulatory characteristics as well as the potential to differentiate into various cell types, which make them suitable candidates for cellular therapies for many chronic diseases including cancers, heart and liver disorders, ulcers, bone damage, and neurological diseases, etc. The present study thus aims at providing a comprehensive overview of placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells, their types, and potentially therapeutic for various chronic and non-chronic diseases. Recent pre-clinical and clinical studies conducted on them have also been incorporated.

What is social economic planning?
Authors:   University of Utah, Campbell Al
Published: January 2022

The attempts to build post-capitalist societies in the twentieth century all used variations of the material-balances economic planning procedures developed first in the USSR. Most advocates of transcending capitalism came to accept the idea that the desired new society could operate only with some variation of such an economic planning tool. One part of the current thorough reconsideration of how to build a human-centered post-capitalist society is reconsidering how it should carry out, in a way consistent with its goals, the social economic planning that all systems of production require. This brief work first addresses a number of misconceptions and myths connected with the identification of planning for socialism with the material-balances planning system. After that, and connected to real-world experiments now going on in a few countries in the world, the work considers if the required social economic planning could occur through conscious control of markets, for countries attempting to build a socialism that uses markets for both the necessary articulation of all the steps in its many production chains and for the distribution of consumer goods.

Authors: Mata Prasad  , Sutanu Maji
Published: January 2022

Off-season onion production of is an important issue to challenge the price fluctuation during different time of year and in different location of the country. The present experiment was conducted at sub-tropical region of central Uttar Pradesh (Lucknow) during kharif, late kharif season of 2018-20 to find out the optimum date of transplanting and choice of suitable cultivar of onion for off-season production. The experiment consisted of eight dates of transplanting (30th August, 10, 20, 30th September, 10, 20, 30th October and 10th November) and two cultivars (Agrifound Dark Red and L-883) which was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. Transplanting on 30th September showed maximum vegetative growth in terms of plant height (66.93 cm), number of leaves per plant (14.99), maxi-mum length of leaf (47.60 cm), neck thickness (23.19 mm) at 120 days after transplanting as well as highest average bulb weight (79.53 g) and bulb yield ( 10.02kg/plot and 382.68 q/ha). Among the two varieties L-883 showed the better performance in respect of growth and yield in off season production. Therefore, it may be concluded that the cultivation of L-883 variety and transplanting on 30th September was found best for off –season production in the sub –tropical agro- climatic region of Center Uttar Pradesh (Lucknow) which may be beneficial for increasing farmers’ income as well as for benefit of costumers keeping the balance between demand and supply.

Published: January 2022

Camel milk has been noted to have medicinal properties treating allergies, diarrhea, microbial infection and Crohn's disease.The aim of this study is to identify and characterize the intestinal microbiota of BALB/c mice sensitized to α-lactalbumin (α-la) and fed with camel milk. For this, 30 females BALB/c mice aged between 4 and 6 weeks were divided into two groups. The first one designated as control group did not receive any treatment (n=10). The second group (n=20) was immunized intraperitoneally with α-la. On day 35 of sensitization protocol, mice of the second group were divided into two subgroups of 10 mice each. Animals of the first subgroup were sacrificed, whereas, mice of the second subgroup were fed camel milk for one week. In order to analyze the effect of camel milk on α-La-sensitized mice, two studies were carried out: a histological analysis of the jejunal tissues and microbiolo-gical study in the intestine and faeces of mice of different groups. Our results showed that drinking camel milk significantly reduced the alteration of in-testinal epithelium induced by α-la immunization as demonstrated by a signi-ficant increase of villus height (p<0.05). The microbiological results showed a very significant increase in enterobacteria and anaerobic bacteria (1 to 2 log ufc/g) in bacterial flora of mice immunized to α-la. However there was no significant difference in the level of enterobacteriaceae and anaerobic bacte-ria in the faeces of α-la-immunized mice treated with camel milk. In conclu-sion, Camel milk reduced the microscopic lesions caused by α-lasensitization and play an antibacterial role againstpathogenic bacteria in the intestinal mucosa of mice immunized to cow’s milk proteins especially α-la.

Spinacia oleracea “Spinach” is a plant rich in antioxidants; it leads to improved male reproduction. For this reason, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the aqueous extract of this plant on the fertility of adult male rabbits after their administration with ethanol. The rabbits were divided into four groups: control group, group treated with 150 mg / kg / day of aqueous Spinacia oleracea extract (Ep), group treated with 40% ethanol (EtOH), and group treated with 150 mg / kg / day of aqueous Spinacia oleracea extract + 40% ethanol (Ep + EtOH), for a period of five successive weeks. Treatment was administered orally. After sacrificing the rabbits, the reproductive organs were removed and weighed. Certain sperm parameters (concentration, mobility, speed, and vitality), the testosterone level and the weight of the testes and epididymis were assessed. The results obtained showed a decrease in the concentration, mobility, speed and vitality of sperm, accompanied by a decrease in testosterone levels, and in the weight of the testes and epididymis in the group treated with ethanol, on the other hand, treatment with aqueous Spinacia oleracea extract revealed an increase in these parameters. In conclusion, treatment with aqueous Spinacia oleracea extract can repair the damage caused by ethanol.

Published: January 2022

Sexual hormones are determinant players in cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of testosterone deficiency, induced by castration, on oxidative status and the histopathology of the aor-tic media tunica. The experiments were undertaken on a batch of 30 Wistar males’ rats randomised into 3 groups, 10 control (Con), 10 castrated (Cas) and 10 castrated then supplemented with testosterone (Cas-T). Our results showed that testosterone deficiency induced a significant decrease in myeloperoxidase activity (19,95 ± 1, 79 vs 34,86 ± 1,13, p˂0,0001) this was maintained even after testosterone replacement. Furthermore, testosterone deficiency decreased the antioxidant capacity by reducing GSH in plasma (0,118 ± 0,003 vs 0,15 ± 0,011, p˂0,05). Our results also indicate that testos-terone supplementation leads to a significant increase in ceruloplasmin lev-els (62,37 ± 15,89 vs 148,12 ± 27,77, p ˂0.05). The histomorphometric exami-nation of the aortic tunica media in castrated rats showed a significant de-crease of media thickness (274,7 ± 2,96 vs 317,6 ± 5,19, p ˂0.0001) and VSMC count (108,1 ± 6,47 vs 130 ± 6,147, p ˂ 0.05) associated with damaged and broken elastic lamina. Testosterone supplementation restores the media thickness and the count of VSMC. Our findings demonstrate that testos-terone deficiency leads to a decrease in the count of VSMC and a rupture of elastic lamina. Testosterone altered the plasma oxidative status through ac-tions on GSH, MPO and ceruloplasmin.

With the rapid development of online social networks, text-communication has become an indispensable part of daily life. Mining the emotion hidden behind the conversation-text is of prime significance and application value when it comes to the government public-opinion supervision, enterprise decision-making, etc. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a text emotion prediction model in a multi-participant text-conversation scenario, which aims to effectively predict the emotion of the text to be posted by target speaker in the future. Specifically, first, an affective space mapping is constructed, which represents the original conversation-text as an n-dimensional affective vector so as to obtain the text representation on different emotion categories. Second, a similar scene search mechanism is adopted to seek several sub-sequences which contain similar tendency on emotion shift to that of the current conversation scene. Finally, the text emotion prediction model is constructed in a two-layer encoder-decoder structure with the emotion fusion and hybrid attention mechanism introduced at the encoder and decoder side respectively. According to the experimental results, our proposed model can achieve an overall best performance on emotion prediction due to the auxiliary features extracted from similar scenes and the adoption of emotion fusion as well as the hybrid attention mechanism. At the same time, the prediction efficiency can still be controlled at an acceptable level.
Fast reactions with non-interacting species in stochastic reaction networks
Authors: Hoessly Linard ,   Department of Mathematics, Universitetspark 5, 2100 Copenhagen, Denmark, Wiuf Carsten
Published: January 2022

We consider stochastic reaction networks modeled by continuous-time Markov chains. Such reaction networks often contain many reactions, potentially occurring at different time scales, and have unknown parameters (kinetic rates, total amounts). This makes their analysis complex. We examine stochastic reaction networks with non-interacting species that often appear in examples of interest (e.g. in the two-substrate Michaelis Menten mechanism). Non-interacting species typically appear as intermediate (or transient) chemical complexes that are depleted at a fast rate. We embed the Markov process of the reaction network into a one-parameter family under a two time-scale approach, such that molecules of non-interacting species are degraded fast. We derive simplified reaction networks where the non-interacting species are eliminated and that approximate the scaled Markov process in the limit as the parameter becomes small. Then, we derive sufficient conditions for such reductions based on the reaction network structure for both homogeneous and time-varying stochastic settings, and study examples and properties of the reduction.

Relatively fast due to the large number infected and killed in a pandemic COVID-19, the World Health Organization, pointed out that this is an extraordinary event situation for public health of international importance, which certainly has an impact on society and social policy. Numerous countries around the world are implementing diverse measures to stop the spread of the virus. This inevitably affects a number of constraints in much of society and has very adverse economic consequences. The situation is so much more complex and demanding that in fact and a year after the outbreak of the pandemic yet not all the determinants of hers are always known and how to determine and implement measures to save human lives, but also to preserve the economy as much as possible. ON the complexity of this relationship is extremely interesting the book was prepared by Velimir Šonje and Kristijan Kotarski and published in 2020 by Arhivanalitika from Zagreb. On the whole, the authors very argumentatively and clearly state the economic and health costs of lockdown that may also be measurable and the loss of human lives.
Seeking Global Coherence
Authors: Bennet Alex
Published: January 2022

The historical focus on relationships based on the trust and respect of people—initially family and then moving into business associates—has become idea focused, with value built on respect for and resonance with ideas. Simultaneously, trust based on integrity and consistency over time has given way to instant virtual relationships, often built on ONE BIG IDEA, whether it is true or not. This is the concept of Idea Locking. This chapter asks: Is there something deeper at play here? Trust in government media has waxed and waned with changes in administrations, yet the continued government focus on transparency, participation, and collaboration are attributes embraced by the Millennials, the new generation of decision-makers moving into positions of power, who bring with them an inclusive culture embracing coherence. A true global generation, it is this technology-literate group that seeks connection and who, if they can be reached, offers the potential to create a global culture of coherence.
“Coherency” Alternative to the “Singularity”

The so-called “singularity” postulates that artificial intelligence technology (AI) will soon outdistance human intelligence and commandeer (Terminator-like) planetary authority from humanity. It may be stipulated that this science fiction scenario is already becoming a science-reality. However, an alternative to the threatening brain-based technological singularity is not being considered. The potential for creating a positive non-dual reality with “coherent heart entrainment” is the desirable alternative, and this alternative “heart-based coherency” can begin with healing the media-sphere. The technological singularity—perhaps the salient issue facing “healing” of the global media-sphere—is a hypothetical point in time (very soon) at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization.
Counter-Hacking the Subconscious Mind
Authors: Cools Johan
Published: January 2022

This chapter addresses the destructive impact of the media sphere on human perception. Humanity is currently facing an avalanche of cataclysmic events which have been abused by the media sphere to provoke fear and psychosis. This toxic propaganda has gradually infected the subconscious mind with false belief systems and negative habitual thinking patterns. To provide a broader perspective on some of the core working principles of conscious and subconscious perception and the role of the brain, there is a discussion about levels of consciousness, brainwaves, the RAS (reticular activating system), and neuroplasticity. The application of these principles enables the development of a benign and practical method for counter-hacking the subconscious heart-mind as an antidote for the catastrophic influence of the media sphere on human perception. The concepts of this methodology can be integrated into a PEG (psychecology educational game). Such a game holds the potential to increase global coherence by providing a timely yet symptomatic antidote for toxic intention in the media sphere.

Djerid Chott, in southwestern Tunisia, is one of the biggest salt lakes in the world. This work follows the specific precipitation of evaporites through progressive evaporation of Chott Djerid brines using geochemical, isotopic and mineralogical approaches, to explain the intricacy of the working of saline frameworks controlled basically by climatic driving and the underlying geochemical structure acquired from the geographical system. Toward the finish of every evaporation step, solid and liquid samples went through analyses. Djerid brine is remarkably saline (427.7 g/l) and it is supersaturated contrasted with halite. The outcomes indicated that the Chott Djerid brines shaped fundamentally Cl--Na+-SO4- type geochemistry. Added to halite and gypsum as significant minerals, other minor minerals including carnallite, hexahydrite and sylvite were recognized in various phases of progressive evaporation of Djerid brine. Regardless of their low costs, significant minerals are of geo-economic interest because of their high amounts of production. Then, minor valuable minerals secure their geo-economic interest from their excessive costs. In this work, we find the window of precipitation of these valuable minerals' at the evaporation paces of 80% and 100%.

In this research work, a new and green corrosion inhibitor based on new imidazole derivate (IMD) was introduced for carbon steel in 1 M HCl medium. Its inhibition properties were fully characterised by the gravimetric, electrochemical, surface and quantum chemical analyses. The experimental results confirmed that the inhibition efficiency of IMD was over 99% at 150 mg/L, forming a protective hydrophobic film on the metal surface, which maximally blocked the cathodic and anodic corrosive processes by adsorption. The electrochemical results suggested that the IMD is a mixed-type inhibitor. The adsorption behaviour of IMD was obeyed by Langmuir isotherms. The gravimetric results show that the inhibition efficiency depends on the change of concentration and temperature. The experimental tests were supported by the DFT (density functional theory) measurements, and a good relationship was found among these tests. The observed results of the surface analysis indicated that the metal surface was seriously improved with the presence of IMD.

There is a continuous global need for more energy, which must be cleaner than energy produced from the conventional generation technologies. As such, this need has necessitated the increasing penetration of distributed generation technologies and primarily on renewable energy sources. This paper presents a dynamic modeling and control strategy for a sustainable micro-grid, principally powered by multiple renewable energy sources (solar energy, wind energy and Fuel cell), micro sources (such as diesel generator, micro-gas turbine etc.) and energy storage scheme. More importantly, a current-source-interface, multiple-input dc-dc converter is utilized to coordinate the sustainable power sources to the main dc bus. Thus, for tracking maximum power available in solar energy, maximum power point tracking algorithm is applied. The proposed system is designed to meet load demand, manage power flow from various sources, inject excess power into the grid, and charge the battery from the grid as needed. More so, the proposed converter architecture has reduced number of power conversion stages with less component count, and reduced losses compared to existing grid-connected hybrid systems. This improves the efficiency and reliability of the system. The utilization of energy storage is essential owing to the intermittent nature of the renewable energy sources and the consequent peak power shift between the sources and the load. Following this further, a supervisory control system is designed to handle various changes in power supply and power demand by managing power intermittency, power peak shaving, and long-term energy storage. The entire hybrid system is described given along with comprehensive simulation results that reveal the feasibility of the whole scheme. The system model is designed and simulated in MATLAB SimPowerSystem in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

The energy dissipation for one cycle of clay soil deformation over the area of ​​a hysteresis loop under conditions of one-dimensional deformation has been experimentally studied. Several series of trials were carried out under different conditions of soil density and moisture and different loading modes. It was established by the experiments that after several cycles of loading and unloading of the samples, the transient process of the closed loop formation ends and certain dependences of stress on deformations are established in the sections of the ascending and descending branches of the hysteresis loop. To determine these dependencies, rheological relations obtained directly from the hysteresis loop by approximating the arcs of its contour have been used. By integrating the approximating rheological dependences along the branches of the loop, the dissipated energy per deformation cycle has been obtained as a function of cyclic deformation amplitude, measured by the area of the hysteresis loop. Experiments on obtaining a hysteresis loop were carried out on a compression device with a cyclic sample. Samples with different states of density and moisture content were produced by consolidating a paste having yield point moisture under different pressures. Several series of experiments have been carried out. In the first series, soil absorption coefficients were derived for different states of density-moisture at different loading rates. In the second series, three types of clayish soil (clay, loam, sandy loam) were studied. Dissipation coefficients have been found out for the indicated soils. In the third series, three types of clay soil were tested under different conditions of density and moisture. The dissipation coefficients have been obtained. In the fourth series, the dependences of the absorption coefficient on the amplitude value of the cyclic stress for three types of clay soil were disclosed. It was found that a change in the loading rate within the range from 0.05 MPa to 0.2 MPa does not lead to the significant change in the absorption coefficient, the increase in the number of clay fractions in the sample leads to an increase in the absorption coefficient, a change in the amplitude of cyclic loading (in the indicated range of change) does not affect the absorption coefficient.
