The most shocking situation which is the cause of sorrow for the whole universe is Covid-19. This virus was first detected in Wuhan City, China. This pandemic has shown its ramification on us in different ways and in different ways in this world. We are recently facing the second wave of Covid-19. Till the date there is no full proof medicine for corona virus (SARS-CoV-2), but scientists around the world have succeeded in developing some vaccines which would help to protect us against the deadly virus (SAR-CoV-2). It is very much important for us to improve our physical as well as mental conditions, the best way to do so is by doing physical exercises, yoga , maintain proper diet, drinking plenty of water and maintain distance from others. Covid-19 mostly affects our lungs. People experience physical problems like breathing problem , chest pain, cold, fever etc. due to covid , and those people having serious symptoms are more prone to death. Yoga is one of the best way for improving the immunity as prescribed by several doctors, scientists, virologists and even by the scientists of WHO. Many Researches have been conducted and it shows yoga improves immunity, improves respiratory competence, mental power and increases body’s strength which is very much essential to fight against covid virus. In this study focus has been given on the importance of yoga in fighting against covid.
Comparative Study of Some Numerical and Semi-analytical Methods for Some 1D and 2D Dispersive KdV-type Equations
Authors: KELİL Abey Sherif
Published: January 2022

This paper aims to investigate an approximate-analytical and numerical solutions for some 1D
and 2D dispersive homogeneous and non-homogeneous KdV equations by employing two reliable methods namely reduced differential transform method (RDTM) and a classical finite-difference method. RDTM provides an analytical approximate solution in the form of a convergent series. The classical finite-difference method (FDM) to solve dispersive KdV equations is employed by primarily checking Von Neumann’s stability criterion. The performance of the mentioned methods for the considered experiments are compared by computing absolute and relative errors at some spatial nodes at a given time; and to the best of our knowledge, the comparison between these two methods for the considered experiments is novel. Knowledge acquired will enable us to build methods for other related PDEs such as KdV-Burgers, stochastic KdV and fractional KdV-type equations.

Development of algorithms that simulate the solution of a problem by a person
Authors: Filatov Iurii V.
Published: January 2022

Some algorithms, which are often based on the use of elements of higher mathematics, possessing high speed and compact coding in algorithmic languages, are poorly mastered by most students. It can be assumed that this is due to the difficulty of presenting the principles of their work in the form of human actions in ordinary situations. Thus, a certain contradiction arises between the way of solving the problem that a person resorts to without using a computer and the way we force our computer to solve this problem. Comparison of the process of explaining algorithms speaks in favor of algorithms imitating human thinking. The discussion of the advantages of the algorithms themselves is beyond the scope of this article and undoubtedly deserves a separate study. If artificial intelligence is created, then its creator or creators will certainly be ranked among the outstanding geniuses in the history of civilization, no matter what algorithms it uses. However, so far there is no one to solve problems for us and create algorithms, so we will use all available means and try to teach this to children.

Authors:   Oil and Gas Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia, Sidorchuk E. A. , Seliverstova M. E. ,   Oil and Gas Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia
Published: January 2022

The paper considers the improvement in classification of oil and gas traps formed in non-anticlinal conditions. The relevant aim is to expand the areas where hydrocarbon accumulations are searched for and to take into account the new search attributes. Evaporite rocks, widely developed in many oil and gas basins, have properties that contribute to the preservation of hydrocarbon deposits. Depending on the structural features of the salt formations, their impact on the location of oil and gas deposits varies. The deposits associated with the evaporite rocks are analyzed. Types of traps, the main factor in formation of which are evaporites, are defined. Such traps are proposed to be treated as a separate category. Keywords: evaporite rocks; non-structural and combined traps; hydrocarbon accumulations; classifications of traps; tectonic style; sealed reservoirs.

Conditions for the formation of hydrocarbon systems and prospects for searching for accumulations of oil and gas in the waters of the Eastern Arctic are considered. Significant hydrocarbon potential is predicted in the sedimentary basins of this region. All known manifestations of oil hydrocarbons are installed on land adjacent to the south, as well as on the east of the shelf. The East Arctic waters are included in a single model in order to perform an adequate comparative analysis of the evolution of hydrocarbon systems. The purpose of the research was to build space-time digital models of sedimentary basins and hydrocarbon systems, and to quantify the volume of generation, migration, and accumulation of hydrocarbons for the main horizons of source rocks. To achieve this goal, a spatiotemporal numerical basin simulation was carried out, based on which the distribution of probable hydrocarbon systems was determined and further analyzed. Following to the data obtained the most probable HC accumulation zones and types of fluids contained in potential traps were predicted. Keywords: numerical space-time basin modeling; modeling of hydrocarbon systems; evidence of oil and gas presence; Eastern Arctic; elements of hydrocarbon systems; oil and gas reservoirs; migration; accumulation; perspective objects
Integrated Carbon Policy Design for Achieving Net-Zero Targets
Authors: Acharya Abhijeet
Published: January 2022

Several countries have set net-zero targets, and many more will announce in the next few years. Countries have used carbon pricing as an instrument to cut Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and provide a price signal to attract private investments to achieve net-zero targets. However, current carbon policy in countries with net-zero targets remains inadequate and asymmetrical to overcome net-zero challenges; there are visible gaps in the carbon price level, sectoral coverage, and mechanism to reward carbon-neutral initiatives. This paper proposed an integrated carbon policy design covering economic, technical, and social dimensions and discussed how an integrated policy design approach could be effective in helping countries achieve net-zero objectives. The paper makes recommendations for net-zero policymakers. First, a stable and appropriate carbon price must be in place to attract private investments in carbon offset measures and commercialize clean technologies. Second, governments should use an effective revenue recycling mechanism to engage firms and citizens in mitigating the side effects of the carbon price regime and win their trust. Third, countries should promote behavioral changes and carbon footprint reduction measures through citizen participation. 
The Grotesque World in The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
Authors: Liu Huimin
Published: January 2022

This article is going to explore the reasons leading the figures grotesque and the way out of such world, with the help of Bakhtin’s theory of grotesque realism, via linking the duality of physical part with the grotesque to analyze the three main characters’ physical characteristics, social relationships and mental world. Singer, Mick and Biff are the distinct characters in Carson McCullers’s novel The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. Their lives are shot through with frustration and discouragement and the intense privacy of their inner lives gives the reader the impression that they are isolated, lonely beings. They try to build connections with others but eventually they fail. The following are the reasons: Firstly, they cannot identify themselves with the majority due to their physical problems, which further lead to their mental crisis. Secondly, they are alienated from the majority in society while they communicate with the ones who cannot end their isolation, which enforces their alienation. Finally, loneliness grips them so powerfully that they cannot come out of their grotesque dreaming world centering on the truth or idea or purpose they have created for themselves. Therefore the way out is to experience the social reality, to express ideas, share care and love with others. Through the interpretation of this novel, the point of this article is to explain the reasons and the ways out of alienation, the keyword in the grotesque world.

HERA, de nieuwe EU-autoriteit voor de levering van schaarse medische producten ten tijde van gezondheidscrises

Recentelijk kondigde de Europese Commissie de oprichting van HERA aan, een Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority voor de Europese Unie. Het gaat om een autoriteit die zal werken aan de leveringszekerheid van (medische) producten die voorhanden moeten zijn tijdens een gezondheidscrisis op EU-niveau. HERA opereert daarmee op het snijvlak van het Europese noodrecht, het gezondheidsrecht en het internemarktrecht. Welke nieuwe bevoegdheden kent de Uniewetgever aan HERA toe? En wat zijn de implicaties voor private actoren en de Nederlandse overheid?
Impact of host factors on susceptibility to antifungal agents
Authors: Plotkin Balbina , Konaklieva Monika
Published: January 2022

An obstacle to drug development, particularly in this era of multiple drug resistance, is the under-appreciation for the role the host environment plays in microbial response to drugs. With the rise in fungal infection and drug resistance, particularly in individuals with co-morbidities, the influence serum and its components have on antimicrobial susceptibility requires assessment. This study examined the impact of physiologically relevant glucose and insulin levels in the presence and absence of 50 % human plasma on MICs for clinical isolates of Candida lusitaniae, Candida parapsilosis, Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata, Candida krusei and Cryptococcus neoformans. The addition of insulin or glucose at physiologic levels in RPMI medium alone altered the MIC in either a positive or negative fashion, depending on the organisms and drug tested, with C. glabrata most significantly altered with a 40, >32- and 46-fold increase in MIC for amphotericin B, itraconazole and miconazole, respectively. The addition of candida-antibody negative plasma also affected MIC, with the addition of glucose and insulin having a tandem effect on MIC. These findings indicate that phenotypic resistance of Candida and Cryptococcus can vary depending on the presence of insulin with glucose and plasma. This modulation of resistance may help explain treatment failures in the diabetic population and facilitate the development of stable drug-resistant strains. Furthermore, these findings indicate the need for a precision approach in the choice of drug treatment and drug development.

: Heavy metals cause significant issues when people are exposed to many specific types of them. They can cause many disorders and affect the biochemical pathways in the body. Herbs are known as one of the richest sources of modern patented drugs, particularly in Iranian references. Many metals, particularly heavy metals, are toxic. Various studies have shown a higher level of heavy metals than standards in some countries like Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, and Nigeria. A preliminary study was conducted to determine some toxic elements in powdered Ziziphora (Ziziphora persica) collected from the local market in Lahijan city, northern Iran. Twenty random samples were gathered from various markets, and a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (FAAS) was used to detect some featured toxic elements, including copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and mercury (Hg). The results showed higher Pb, Cd, and Hg levels than standards. Besides, Cu and Zn were detected to be lower than standards.
Mystical knowledge: anthropology and language
Authors: Sancho Francisco
Published: January 2022

The mystical experience is not something reducible simply to the private experience sphere. The force of the Mystery that is revealed in the subject opens up to the need to understand and communicate that experience. This helps us to perceive the levels inherent to the mystical experience until it transforms into communication. And so, we speak of two ways of language linked to the mystical experience: written language, with its peculiarities and creative connotations, and anthropological language, communicable through the experienced transformation and the way of life of the subject.
A probe inside the poetic form of mysticism of Slovak Romantic Messianists
Authors: Kaizerová Petra
Published: January 2022

The Slovak Romantic Messianism is perceived by us as a phenomenon growing from a specific current epochal situation relating to a relatively rich tradition, which existed in the Slovak cultural context already in previous historical periods. By considering the characteristic features of production, its existence was often relativised. Nevertheless, it represents an important testimony of a concrete epoch. Its artistic implementation (perhaps today more than in the past) is being well appreciated, thanks to its interesting form and to its expressive and narrative strength or value. By focusing our attention on its expressive and thematic means, it is possible to prove that the authors tried to mediate a mystical experience to the readers. As mystagogues, they introduced and initiated the readers to the mysteries of God’s plans aiming at transformation of this world. In this sense, through their literary production, they invoked and prayed God to give them a chance to live a direct mystic experience in the reality. By pursuing this purpose, they filled their poetry with curious archaisms and neologisms (the so-called self-creation of language). They gave way to a speculative etymologism and poetical forms. Generally, they were syncretically stylying poetical shapes. And they often exploited experiments or complex strophic structures.
Der Schatten der Tugend. Kant über die unergründliche Tiefe des Herzens
Authors: Renz Ursula
Published: January 2022

Among the most peculiar traits of Kant’s critical philosophy is the contention that, while we can know our moral maxims and can thus reflect on our actions from a moral point of view, we cannot really know whether in a given situation our actions are actually motivated by those maxims. This means that, although we have a firm sense of our moral duties, we can never be certain whether some particular action of ours is done from duty or simply in accordance with it. This view is voiced in several of Kant’s writings. Most prominent is its appearance in the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, but we also find it in Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason and in The Metaphysics of Morals, and it is even present in smaller writings such as “On a Miscarriage of all Philosophical Trials in Theodicy” or “On the Common Saying: That may be correct in theory, but is of no use in practice”. It is against this background that I revisit Kant’s remarks on the lack of self-knowledge regarding the motives of our proper actions. I suggest a reading of Kant’s views on this issue in the light of a tradition reaching back to Plato, in which man’s (moral) self-relation is shaped in an irreducible way by both self-consciousness and self-ignorance.
Spontaneities and Singularities: Kant’s Hypothetical Approach to the Supersensible and the Re-Foundation of Metaphysics
Authors: Zovko Marie-Élise
Published: January 2022

The hypothetical approach to the supersensible developed by Kant in his three Critiques, exemplified by his analysis of the aesthetic and reflective judgment in his third Critique, with their principle fortuitous purposiveness, can be considered as the basis for a new foundation of metaphysics. According to Kant’s limitation of cognition to the realm of sense intuition, theoretical knowledge of God, the subject, things-in-themselves, transcendental ideas is impossible. This leads to a kind of “negative theology” of the highest principle and the supersensible as a whole. The reasons are rooted in the character of propositional thought, which can only circumscribe a singular, supersensible reality by means of predicative sentences and discursive thought. Taking Kant’s lead, but in contrast to his terminology, I call really existent singularities, including the thinking, knowing, desiring, feeling unique individuals we know as human beings, spontaneities, in order to distinguish them from descriptive characteristics attributed to them by predicative thought. Kant’s “practico-dogmatic” account of the postulates of God and immortality of the soul, based on the “fact of freedom” and its connection to the moral imperative, ensure the possibility of the “highest good” as final aim of moral behaviour — but cannot satisfy our need for knowledge of the supersensible. To “lay the groundwork” for experience of our own self-conscious reality, the reality of others like ourselves, of things which transcend the boundaries of sense intuition, and of true reciprocity, a different method is needed, one which leads us “beyond being and thought” to the unconditional beginning of conditional reality.

The Structure Separation Project is a multi-level project to assess structure-to-structure fire spread in Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) communities. The project is divided into three phases with each phase assessing radiant and convective heat exposures from different sizes of source terms. Phase 1 is considering sheds from 1.39 m2 to 24.8 m2 (15 ft2 to 267 ft2) as source terms while Phase 2 and Phase 3 will study heat exposures from auxiliary dwelling units [40.9 m (440 ft2)] and single-family homes 92.90 m (1000 ft2), respectively. This experimental series is an extension of the indoor shed burn experiments performed to measure heat release rates and mass loss rates at the National Fire Research Laboratory (NFRL). These outdoor full-scale shed burn experiments will be conducted in the presence of an artificially generated wind field. Varying sizes of structures containing wood cribs (source of fire) will be used to generate typical radiative and convective heat exposures on a target structure (assembly of an exterior wall with a window and a roof to represent a single-story residential building). The spacing between the source and target structure will be varied to identify safe structure separation distance SSD (SSD) which is defined as the shortest distance between the source and the target structure. The safe SSD for combustible (wood) and non-combustible (steel) sheds will be identified.
SOURCE LOCATION MECHANISM OF MICROSEISMIC MONITORING USING P-S WAVES AND ITS EFFECT ANALYSIS
Authors: Wang Zhigang , Li Ji , Li Bo
Published: January 2022

Seismic source location is the most fundamental and most important problem in microseismic monitoring. However, only P wave has been mostly applied in the existing microseismic monitoring networks, with low location accuracy and poor stability of location result for the microseismic events occurring beyond monitoring networks. The seismic source location was implemented using P wave and S wave in this study to expand the effective monitoring area of a microseismic monitoring network and improve its location accuracy for microseismic events nearby the monitoring network. Then, the seismic source location mechanism using P-S wave was revealed through theoretical derivation and analysis. Subsequently, the program development and numerical simulation were combined to analyze and compare systematically the location effects of differently distributed monitoring networks, those consisting of different quantities of sensors, and those with S wave contained in some sensors under two circumstances: combination of P wave and S wave and single use of P wave. Results demonstrate that adding S wave in the plane enhances the accuracy control in the radius direction of the monitoring network. After S wave is included, the location accuracy within a certain area beyond the monitoring network is improved considerably, the effective monitoring area of the whole network is expanded, and the unstable location zones using only P wave are eliminated. The location results of differently distributed monitoring networks and the influence laws of the quantity of sensors constituting the networks on the location results are acquired. This study provides evidence for microseismic monitoring to realize accurate and stable location within a larger range.

Authors: Zhang Xuemei , Huang Shaomin , Lin Lian , Lei Yan , Zhong Xiaochun
Published: January 2022

Objective Intradialytic hypotension complicates up to 30% of all dialysis treatments and is linked to increased morbidity and mortality. Intravenous fluid infusion is effective to restore blood pressure, yet the optimal replacement fluid remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of 50% glucose as the treatment for intradialytic hypotension in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods Thirty-five MHD patients with intradialytic hypotension from February 2019 to March 2020 were enrolled in this study. The control group (n=17) received 100-200ml normal saline infusion, while the experimental group (n=18) received 100-200ml 50% glucose infusion. The blood pressure before and after hemodialysis was compared to determine the efficacy rate of the treatments. Results The efficacy rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (efficacy rate: 94.4% vs 64.7%, p=0.028). Patients in the experimental group restored their blood pressure faster than those in the control group (time to relief of symptoms: 12±6.5 vs 7.6±2.9 mins, p=0.014), indicating that 50% glucose infusion are more effective than the isotonic saline in treating intradialytic hypotension. Conclusions Compared with isotonic normal saline, 50% glucose might be a better option for the treatment of hypotension during hemodialysis.
A Comparative Study of Intramedullary Nailing and Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Plate Osteosynthesis for Type A Tibial Fracture Healing

Published: January 2022

Objective This study aimed to retrospectively compare the efficacy of intramedullary nailing and minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) on the fracture healing of patients with type A tibial fractures. Methods Patients who had been diagnosed with type A tibial fracture (AO classification method) and treated with minimally invasive surgery in our hospital from January 2016 to January 2019 were included in the study. There were 21 patients in the MIPPO group and 27 patients in the intramedullary nailing group. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, surgical incision length, callus formation time, and fracture healing time of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Results In the intramedullary nailing group, the callus formation time and the fracture healing time were shorter than those in the MIPPO group (P<0.005). Their operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and the surgical incision length were comparable between the two groups. Conclusions For patients with type A tibial fracture and poor wound tissue conditions, intramedullary nailing fixation treatment may be a better choice than MIPPO. Because in patients receiving intramedullary nailing treatment, the callus formation time and fracture healing time are short, and functional exercises can be performed soon after the surgery, which can reduce the occurrence of related complications.

Published: January 2022

Objective Penicillin allergy skin test is a common procedure in nursing care. Many patients can only do an allergy skin test on fasting due to the disease condition. However, whether or not the fasting state has any effects on the skin testing results remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effects of fasting on the results of penicillin allergy skin tests. Methods This observational cohort study analyzed the clinical data of 200 patients undergoing a penicillin skin test in the emergency center of The Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from August 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020, of which 100 cases were fasting patients and 100 were non-fasting patients. The information including gender, age, allergy, skin test results, dizziness, and gastrointestinal symptoms were collected and compared. Result Among the 200 patients, five patients (2.5%) tested positive for the penicillin-allergy skin tests. Three patients (3%) tested positive in the fasting group, while two patients (2%) in the non-fasting group tested positive (Relative Risk: 1.5; 95% Confidence Interval: 0.3055 to 7.397; P=0.65). Conclusion These data suggest that fasting may have limited impacts on the results of penicillin allergy skin tests.

Authors: CHEN Kaiyin , XIAO Ping , WANG Tingwei , LI Shaofang
Published: January 2022

Objective This study aimed to explore the prevalence of hyperuricemia among the general adult population in Shenzhen and to determine the risk factors of hyperuricemia. Methods A total of 9337 cases who underwent physical examination in The Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University in 2020 were enrolled in this study. The binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine potential risk factors of hyperuricemia. Result The overall prevalence rate of hyperuricemia in the studied population was 40.5% (3783/9337). Subgroup analysis showed that the prevalence of males was 52.8% (3046/5769) and the prevalence of females was 20.7% (737/3568). Moreover, among different age groups (≤29 years old, 30-39 years old, 40-49 years old, 50-59 years old, and ≥60 years old), the prevalence rate of males was significantly higher than that of females (P<0.05). To further determine the relationship between the body mass index (BMI) and hyperuricemia, the population with normal BMI was set as the control group. After controlling for gender and age, the prevalence rate of hyperuricemia in the overweight population increased by 1.799 times; and the prevalence rate in the obese and very obese population increased by 3.283 times and 3.830 times, respectively. Conclusion The data presented in this study demonstrated that the prevalence rate of hyperuricemia is high in Shenzhen, espeially in males. Moreover, the level of BMI is significantly linked to the prevalence of hyperuricemia. Therefore, early interventions should be carried out to address the high prevalence of hyperuricemia in male and obese populations.

En se focalisant sur le roman Dans ma chambre (1996), la contribution examine ce qui motive l’autopornographie dans l’œuvre de Dustan et comment la pornographie et l’autofiction sont liées l’une à l’autre, avançant la thèse selon laquelle l’autopornographie est conditionnée par deux facteurs principaux : premièrement, la défense de l’identité en tant qu’homosexuel sexuellement actif et puissant dans le « ghetto » parisien ; deuxièmement, l’infection par le VIH du narrateur, qui entraîne une aliénation du corps, de sorte que le narrateur, en contre-réaction, tente de regagner sa propre autonomie et indépendance en vivant sa liberté sexuelle.

Uno no puede –o no debe– dar la espalda al tiempo en el que vive. Y nuestra época es, desgraciadamente, víctima de una enfermedad, el SIDA, que no cesa de causar bru­tales estragos en nuestro entorno, estragos tanto más dolorosos cuanto que afectan a hom­bres y mujeres llenos de vitalidad, de fuerza, de juventud. El SIDA, en muchos casos encarnación real de la metafórica unión de Eros y Thanatos –como dice Pascal de Duve–, es el gran escándalo de este fin de siglo y de milenio, y ha marcado con su sello no sólo los cuerpos de tantos y tantos jóvenes sino también la producción cultural de nuestra época: las artes plásticas, la escritura, la cinematografía, la publicidad, etc.Este libro reúne una serie de trabajos en los que se analiza, desde perspectivas distin­tas (estética, literaria, sociológica, lingüística, etc.) las relaciones que en los últimos dece­nios se han ido estableciendo entre el SIDA y la cultura contemporánea. El tema es tan ex­traordinariamente amplio que no se han podido abarcar todos sus aspectos, pero el lector interesado y preocupado por este tema hallará aquí variadas reflexiones sobre los discur­sos terapéuticos, culturales y publicitarios del SIDA, así como numerosos análisis de las interacciones que se establecen entre el arte y la experiencia de la enfermedad. Todos estos trabajos ponen de manifiesto que el SIDA es actualmente en nuestra cultura un lugar excepcional de significación, un nudo de metáforas a través de las cuales se proyecta, como consecuencia de la enfermedad, una visión diferente de la vida, de la muerte y del arte. Se verá aquí que el SIDA es, en muchos casos, el detonante que configura la especi­ficidad de la obra de arte, el tipo de escritura, las imágenes y las metáforas que la susten­tan, en una lucha contra una muerte inevitable en la que el artista descubre frecuentemente la victoria del arte y de la conciencia.
La fi de l'hegemonia neoliberal i el renaixement populista. L’antropologia neoliberal com a origen de l’actual moment populista.
Authors: Gómez Rincón José Francisco
Published: January 2022

Resum: A què es deu l'actual ressorgiment dels discursos populistes arreu del món? Aquesta és la pregunta que pretenem respondre en aquest article. Si avui vivim un “moment populista” és perquè la fallida del relat neoliberal ha obert una escletxa entre les expectatives dels individus i les veritables possibilitats d’un món finit on els recursos per satisfer una societat obsessionada amb la satisfacció de desitjos superflus és insostenible, des del punt de vista tant polític com econòmic. La crisi econòmica de l’any 2008 ha deixat orfes uns subjectes que, a causa d’un profund treball de formació de la subjectivitat de marcada arrel neoliberal, són incapaços de renunciar a un estil de vida insostenible i que, com a conseqüència, recorren a les promeses d’uns partits que s’aprofiten de les circumstancies creades per aquestes condicions post-Gran Recessió per guanyar poder.
Abstract: What is the reason for the current resurgence of populist discourses around the world? This is the question that we intend to answer in this article. If nowadays we live a “populist moment” is because the failure of the neoliberal narrative has opened a gap between the individuals’ expectations and the true possibilities of a finite world where resources to satisfying a society obsessed with the satisfaction of superfluous desires is unsustainable both politically and economically. The economic crisis of 2008 has orphaned some subjects who, due to a deep work of formation of subjectivity with a marked neoliberal root, are unable to give up an unsustainable lifestyle, and who, as a result, resort to promises of parties that take advantage of the circumstances created by these post-Great Recession conditions, in order to gain power.

Cubesat Antenna Analysis and Design: Are you using the right computational electromagnetic tool?
Authors: Latachi I. , Rachidi T. , Karim M.
Published: January 2022

Antenna systems play a critical role in establishing wireless communication links and sustaining remote sensing requirements for Cubesat applications. In addition to the usual antenna design requirements, Cubesat-based spacecrafts impose additional stringent constraints related to the on-board available space, power consumption and development costs. To develop optimal antenna prototypes while considering all these constraints and decrease trial and error related costs, computational electromagnetics (CEM) simulation tools are used. The accuracy of simulation results depends to a great extent on the choice of the appropriate CEM tool for the particular antenna problem to be analyzed; ergo, identifying and answering key questions about design objectives and requirements is necessary for informed decision-making throughout the selection and design processes. However, this could be quite challenging because of existing gaps both in the practitioners’ knowledge about different CEM tools capabilities, limitations, and design know-how. This is especially true for non-specialists such as students and academics involved in student driven Cubesat projects. Therefore, the rationale of this manuscript is to bridge those gaps and clarify some common misconception commonly encountered during the selection and design processes. In that regard, first, an overview of existing antenna configurations commonly used in Cubesat communications is provided. Next, antenna design general workflow is presented. Then, capabilities and limitations of different CEM solving methods are presented. After that, CEM software selection process trade-offs and possible sources of errors are discussed from a practical viewpoint. Finally, a case study of Masat-1 antenna system design is presented as practical example.
Role of Bacterial Flora in Oral Cancer- An Insight

The human body contains about 1014 bacteria which usually colonise different parts of the body. The bacterial flora is important for a person’s health as well as normal functioning of tissue and organ systems. Bacteria are single celled organisms and are found on almost all surfaces of human body. They act in synergy with host immune mechanism and provide protection against various undesirable foreign invasions, especially in the oral cavity, where they exist in a diversified form which survive in a symbiotic relationship with the host. When there is a disturbance in this equilibrium due to various factors like trauma or tobacco smoking, betel nut chewing and alcohol intake, which makes the mucous membrane more permeable to invading microorganisms, these commensal bacterial species can become virulent and give rise to oral diseases ranging from dental caries to oral carcinoma. The effects of these bacteria can be either direct or indirect initiation of chronic inflammation, formation of procarcinogens that contribute to the development of oral carcinoma. This article focuses on the role of oral bacterial flora in initiation and progression of oral carcinogenesis. Various bacterial and fungal species associated with oral carcinoma and predominant bacterial species in oral cavity and oropharyngeal region along with measures to prevent their adverse effects are described.
Latest Advancement in the Management of Xerostomia: A Review
Authors: Aranha Venetia , Meghana SM , Kulkarni Sandip , Yadav Monica
Published: January 2022

Xerostomia, also known as dry mouth, is a subjective sensation arising due to the reduced salivary flow. The dry mouth interferes with normal oral functions such as swallowing, chewing and speech. An increase in the incidence of dental caries and oral infections that may impact the oral health is also seen. The aetiology of dry mouth may be due to systemic diseases, drugs or by radiation to the head and neck, the causes hence being multifactorial. The prevalence of dry mouth is commonly seen in nearly half of the elderly population and one fifth of the younger individuals. Salivary substitutes are used to manage xerostomia. However, for long- standing xerostomia, a lot of potential systemic therapies exist. Oral health care providers are now making significant contributions to the diagnosis and are aware of the latest trends in the management of xerostomia. This review aimed to illustrate the current trends in the management of xerostomia.

The aim of this research was to investigate the impact of extraction solvents on the non-phenolic phytochemical profiles of selected spices (Ocimum viride, Monodora myristica, Monodora tenuifolia and Tetrapleura tetraptera) and spice-treated foods in southern part of Nigeria. The spice samples were processed into powder for antioxidant screening. The spice extracts were obtained from the samples using 5 extracting solvents [distilled water, 95 % methanol, acetone / hexane (1:1 v/v), n-hexane / methanol / acetone (2:1:1, v/v/v) and acetone / water / acetic acid (70:29.5:0.5, v/v/v)]. Water extracts were obtained from beef, pork and fluted pumpkin leaves. The alkaloid, saponin, oxalate and phytate components of the spice extracts and the spice-treated foods were evaluated using standard methods. The laboratory analyses were performed at analytical laboratory, National Centre for Energy Research and Development, University of Nigeria, Nsukka during the 3rd quarter of 2020. The percentage yield of the extracts were low (0.32 - 0.96 %) and varied widely among extracting solvents, spices and spice-treated foods. M. myristica and T. tetrpleura had the highest yield, 0.96, in methanol extracts. Phytochemical contents differed significantly (p < 0.05) among spices, extracts of the same spice and among spice-treated foods. Spices had high contents of oxalate (2.0 – 7.0 mg/100 g), alkaloid (0.8 – 5.76 mg/100 g) and phytate (2.14 – 3.88 mg/100 g) but relatively low content of saponin (0.03 – 0.736 mg/100g). Methanol alone or in combination with other solvents extracted higher amounts of phytochemicals (0.96 %) than other solvent mixtures from the spices. Phytochemical contents of spice-treated foods were in the order: vegetable > rice > pork > beef.
The First Six Registered Pediatric Cases with COIVID-19 in Libya: A Case Study

Globally, fewer cases of COVID-19 have been reported in children (age 0-17 years) compared with adults [1,2], The number and rate of cases in children have been steadily increasing since March 2020. The true incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is not known due to lack of widespread testing and the prioritization of testing for adults and those with severe illness. Hospitalization rates in children are significantly lower than hospitalization rates in adults with COVID-19, suggesting that children may have less severe illness from COVID-19 compared to adults [5,6].

Evidence suggests that compared to adults, children likely have similar viral loads in their nasopharynx, [7] similar secondary infections rates, and can spread the virus to others [8,9].

Due to community mitigation measures and school closures, transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to and among children may have been reduced during the pandemic in the spring and early summer of 2020. This may explain the low incidence in children compared with adults.

Comparing trends in pediatric infections before and after the return to child care, in-person school, youth sports and other activities may enhance our understanding about infections in children.

Children infected with SARS-CoV-2 may have many of these non-specific symptoms, only have a few (such as only upper respiratory symptoms or only gastrointestinal symptoms), or may be asymptomatic. The most common symptoms in children are cough and/or fever [11-15]. A recent systematic review estimated that 16% of children with SARS-CoV-2 infection are asymptomatic, [16] but evidence suggests that as many as half of pediatric infections may be asymptomatic [17] The signs and symptoms of COVID-19 in children are similar to those of other infections and noninfectious processes, including influenza, streptococcal pharyngitis, and allergic rhinitis. The lack of specificity of signs or symptoms and the significant proportion of asymptomatic infections make symptom-based screening for identification of SARS-CoV-2 in children particularly challenging [17].
