Authors: Rahul Parihar  , Suman Dadhich
Published: December 2020

Nasa (Nose) is an Indriya, which works not only to perceive the smell but also to provide the main breathing pathway, along with this, Nasa is one of the drug administration pathways. Acharyas have been placed Nasya as one of the Panchkarma procedures, which signify the importance of Nasya as Shodhana Karma (Purification procedure) especially for Urddhva-jatrugata Vikara (disease which affect the body above clavicle). Nasya Karma is a therapeutic measure in which the drug (Medicated Oil/Ghee/ Decoction/ Powder/Smoke etc.) is administered by Nasa (Nose) essentially to remove the vitiated Dosha found in Shira and its constituent parts. Indirectly, by enhancing the functions of the endocrine glands and nervous system, Nasya can operate on the entire body. In classics Nasya is mentioned in different type of supra-clavicular as well as in systemic diseases. So present review article focused on the therapeutic uses of Nasya Karma in different diseased condition which are proven by clinical researches.

Authors: Shahid Arisha  , Riyazuddin Mohd  , Siddiqui MA
Published: December 2020

Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a reversible condition of the liver, wherein large vacuoles of triglyceride fat accumulates in liver cells via the process of steatosis, despite any evidence of excessive alcohol consumption. In view of present scenario of high prevalence and limited treatment options, this study was conducted to assess the effect of Murabba-i- Zanjabīl in NAFLD. Present study was designed as a randomized placebo controlled trial with 30 patients in test group and 10 patients in control group. Participants in test group were administered with Murabba-i- Zanjabīl, 5 gm twice daily, 30 minutes before food for 45 days and those in control group were given 1 capsule of 500 mg each containing wheat flour twice daily, 30 minutes before food for 45 days. All the participants were asked to follow up at every 15 days for assessment of subjective parameters. Objective parameter was assessed before and after the trial period. On statistical analysis the test formulation showed significant reduction in scores (p<0.05) for most of the parameters on both inter and intra group analysis, while the reduction in control group was not found to be statistically significant (p.0.05). This study lays out that Murabbā-i Zanjabīl in a dose of 5gm twice daily given for 45 days is more effective than placebo in treating NAFLD. There was no adverse effect reported during the trial. It was thus concluded that Murabbā-i Zanjabīl is effective and safe in therapeutic management of NAFLD.
A REVIEW ON COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF APASTAMBHA MARMA AND ITS CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Authors: Daiarisa Rymbai  , Anju Thomas
Published: December 2020

The word Marma denotes the vital spots of the body. Marma Shareera is widely discussed in Ayurveda. The structural entity of these spots is not clearly explained in the classical texts so we cannot rule out the exact structural components involved. Apastambha Marma is one among 107 Marma explained in Classical textbooks. According to Sushruta, it is classified under Sira variety and it is an Urogata Kalantara Pranahara Marma. But Vagbhata has mentioned it as a type of Dhamani Marma on the basis of its structural entity. It measures about 1/2 Angula Pramana. Acharya Sushruta mentions its location as Uras, bilaterally where two Vatavaha Sira (tubular structures carrying air) are seen. Vagbhata says that it is situated in the Uras on both sides of the Parshwa. The Viddha Lakshana of this Marma as per Sushruta is Vatapoornakoshtataya, Kasa, Shwasa and Marana. However, there is a difference of opinion with Vagbhata; he has explained Raktena Poornakoshta instead of Vatapoornakoshtataya. Result: The marked area for the Apastambha Marma is at the level of 3rd costal cartilage on both the sides of the chest just lateral to the midline. As the measurement in Angula (1 cm) is not apparent so it is taken as the lengthwise, breadth wise and depth-wise. Conclusion: The area of about 2 cm lateral to carina which is the common site of injury in the bronchus can be taken as the site of Apastambha Marma as rupture of the bronchus leads to pneumothorax and the individual will show symptoms of breathing difficulty such as Kasa, Shwasa and in severe cases it may lead to the death. This explanation holds true for the Viddha Lakshana mentioned by Sushruta. Taking Shonitapoornakoshta this into consideration, pulmonary and bronchial vessels can be taken as the structures involved in Apastambha Marma which also holds good for the explanation of structural composition as per Vagbhata also i.e., it is a Dhamani Marma. Thus, we can conclude that the two Principal Bronchus along with the pulmonary vessels and bronchial vessels should be considered as the site of Apastambha Marma.

"Nawawi Farm" Breeder Group of Nogosari Village is one of the breeder's groups community in Jember Regency which has a focus on layer rooster’s commodity business. Members of this group are approximately 100 breeders. Production of laying hens has a final weight of around 800 g. Meanwhile, feeding during maintenance requires quite a lot of cost. The existence of expenditures made and income generated is unbalanced, of course, become quite serious problems in the world of the livestock business. This is due to the lack of understanding of the Nawawi Farm livestock group regarding the maintenance management of Laying Roosters. Therefore, training and educations are needed regarding the maintenance management of laying hens. The service of the community dedication stage begins with analyzing community needs, training in the management of laying hens, to guiding the maintenance of laying hens in the Nawawi Farm Livestock Group. The main results of the implementation of this service carried out is that all Nawawi Farm breeders can understand the maintenance management of Laying Hens properly and correctly. The service activities that have been carried out can be carried out properly and run smoothly in accordance with the planned activities that have been prepared. This community service activity was well-received by all apparatus of the Nawawi Farm breeder group. The suggestion of this activity is a follow-up activity in the form of training on making rations with the use of local feed ingredients, especially in the face of the new normal era now to maintain the economic stability of the Nawawi Farm livestock group.

One of the livestock groups engaged in raising male laying hens is the "Nawawi Farm" Farmer Group, which is located in Nogosari Village, Jember Regency. This group is chaired by Mr. Ainul and consists of approximately 100 breeders. Based on discussions with members of the livestock group, breeders have several problems. Farmers experience a lack of standard information on feed nutrient requirements, feed amount and feed conversion. The unknown standard of feed nutrient in male layer hens causes breeders to find it difficult to achieve the target harvest. Therefore, it is necessary to provide counseling on the production standards of male layer hens in the "Nawawi Farm" livestock group. The method of implementing the activity is in the form of a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with stages, namely the analysis of community needs, counseling on the production standards of male laying hens, and guiding the maintenance of male laying hens. The output of this dedication is that all breeders of the "Nawawi Farm" livestock group can understand the production standards of male laying hens. Rations with protein, namely 18% crude protein, had no effect on feed consumption, FCR, mortality, production index. Rations with 18% crude protein can replace rations with 21% crude protein for feeding male layer hens. This service activity was welcomed by all breeders from the "Nawawi Farm" livestock group so that the service that has been carried out is well organized. Suggestions from this activity are expected that this service will be held at the next meeting in the form of competency training for making rations with the use of local materials in meeting the nutrient feed standards in raising male layer chickens in the "Nawawi Farm" livestock group of Jember Regency, in order to increase the production standards of male layer chickens so that they get greater profit.

Published: December 2020

O segmento Acesso ao Espaço do Programa Nacional de Atividades Espaciais (PNAE) é um instrumento de desenvolvimento econômico e tecnológico, e de fundamental importância para a manutenção da soberania nacional. Neste trabalho, realizou-se uma análise dos investimentos previstos nos projetos do segmento de acesso ao espaço nos últimos vinte anos, com foco no desenvolvimento e industrialização de veículos lançadores nacionais. Dessa forma, aborda a evolução do programa de lançadores nacionais Cruzeiro do Sul e do empreendimento Cyclone-4. Analisa e efetua considerações acerca da implementação das políticas e estratégias brasileiras para acesso ao espaço, os acordos entre o Brasil e os Estados Unidos da América e principalmente entre o Brasil e a Ucrânia para o empreendimento Cyclone-4 e, finalmente, os impactos no desenvolvimento nos programas nacionais de veículos lançadores. A metodologia adotada comportou uma pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e qualitativa com especialistas envolvidos nas atividades espaciais do nosso país. O campo de estudo delimitou-se aos impactos em investimento e prazo. A conclusão indica que o problema de baixo aporte de recursos nos projetos nacionais de segmento Acesso ao Espaço do PNAE é histórico, mas o advento Cyclone-4 causou, indiretamente, redução do investimento e alargamento do prazo para o desenvolvimento e industrialização dos projetos nacionais de lançadores para acesso ao espaço.
UM MUSEU A CÉU ABERTO:
Authors: Agostinho Michele de Barcelos
Published: December 2020

Este trabalho trata da construção da Praça dos Ex-Combatentes do município de São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro, e analisa os elementos que a compõem, buscando compreender os usos e os sentidos a ela atribuídos naquele espaço urbano. Erguida durante a ditadura militar, em 1970, portanto vinte e cinco anos após o retorno dos expedicionários, a construção da referida praça contou com o apoio dos governos estadual e municipal, da sociedade e, obviamente, dos militares, os quais cederam as peças que fizeram da praça um monumento aos heróis da Segunda Guerra Mundial. A edificação de imaginárias urbanas em memória dos ex-combatentes foi uma prática comum em diversas cidades do Brasil. A praça em questão, entretanto, possui a particularidade de apresentar aos transeuntes objetos usados durante o conflito, transformando-a em um museu a céu aberto e em um lugar de memória. Além disso, nela encontramos valorados elementos da educação cívica e militar, tais como o apelo ao patriotismo, à ordem e ao trabalho.
Analysis of out-of-pocket health expenditure using the WHO Global Health Expenditure Database (GHED): A systematic review
Authors: González R Marino J
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Tracking out-of-pocket (OOP) health
expenditure is a very useful reference for knowing
the progress of countries in the goal of universal
health coverage (UHC) in 2030. The World Health
Organization (WHO) has developed the Global Health
Expenditure Database (GHED) to facilitate analysis
of health financing in countries or regions. The paper
explores the use of GHED in the analysis of OOP health
expenditure in the specialized literature. Objective:
To perform a systematic review of the studies in which
GHED is used to analyze OOP health expenditure
in countries or groups of countries. Methods: The
systematic review followed the guidelines of the
Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review
and Meta-analyses (PRISMA). The database used
was PubMed. All publications that were available on
PubMed by July 30, 2020, were identified. Results:
Twenty-five papers were identified. The use of the
GHED to analyze OOP health expenditure was
reported in five studies, one country study, and four
studies with regional comparisons. The included
studies cover the period 1995-2016. Discussion:
The use of the GHED for the analysis of the evolution
of OOP health expenditure in countries or regions
is not very widespread in the specialized literature.
The GHED has proven to be a very useful instrument
for international comparison, although the fact that
there are differences with national reports (public
expenditure reviews) makes it advisable to combine
both sources of information in the analysis of country-
specific health policies. Conclusion: The systematic
use of the GHED can be useful to improve the quality
of information and estimates, such as country-specific
expenditure analyses. To this end, it is particularly
important to characterize the levels of OOP health
expenditure and to incorporate policy monitoring
into the analyses.
C-peptide as a biomarker in preeclampsia
Authors: Camacho Elsa , Matos María , Cortez Rafael , Israel Anita
Published: December 2020

Preeclampsia (PE) is a syndrome exclusive to
human pregnancy and responsible for high perinatal
morbidity and mortality, whose manifestations include
hypertension, proteinuria, and edema. There is
evidence that PE incidence is four times higher in
diabetic type 1 women than in non-diabetic women;
and increases in women with metabolic syndrome
and insulin resistance. C-peptide is a 31 amino acid
residue polypeptide part of the proinsulin, which is
enzymatically cleaved into insulin and C-peptide
molecule. Both are simultaneously secreted in
equimolar concentrations into blood, thus serum
C-peptide level might reflect real insulin production.
Little is known about the relationship between
circulating levels of C-peptide and the increase in
blood pressure in PE. For this reason, we assessed
serum levels of C-peptide, and insulin in women with
normal pregnancy and with PE, in a population of 30
Venezuelan women. Serum samples were evaluated by
multiplex microsphere analysis (Bio-Plex Pro Assays).
Our results show increased insulin and C-peptide
serum levels in women with PE. Spearman correlation
analysis in all subjects showed a positive association
between SBP and C-peptide (r= 0.4841; P<0.0251)
and insulin (r= 0.4386; P<0.0221), associated with
a positive correlation between SBP and proteinuria
and glucose. Our results suggest that an increase in
C-peptide could be associated with the development of
hypertension and insulin resistance in PE. Therefore,
the quantification of this peptide could be a promising
biomarker to predict the onset of pregnancy-induced
hypertension.
Dominican Republic: The response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020
Authors: Rathe Magdalena
Published: December 2020

The paper presents the situation in the Dominican
Republic in terms of pandemic preparedness, the
policies implemented to respond to it, the achievements
made, and the challenges for the future. The COVID-19
pandemic found the Dominican Republic unprepared
to deal with it, with significant deficiencies in the areas
of prevention, early detection and notification, rapid
response and mitigation, compliance with international
standards, risk environment and health system strength.
The country had the most infections in the entire
Caribbean region and one of the most important in
Latin America, however, the policies implemented were
appropriate and the country faced lower rates of both
serious illness and mortality, compared to the rest of
the region. The health system, so far, has been able to
respond, without exceeding the installed capacity in
terms of beds and intensive care units. The worst part
of the response preparedness is the weakness of the
first level of care and its underfinancing, concluding on
the necessity of investing adequately in strengthening
the first level of care, implementing the population
assignment using geographical criteria, developing
payment for results mechanisms to increase quality and
efficiency and putting in place the unified electronic
medical record, in order to make it feasible to establish
a prevention strategy.
Effects and sequencing of COVID-19 pandemic control policies in Latin America
Authors: González R Marino J
Published: December 2020

Introduction: The extraordinary impact caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic in Latin America gives special
importance to the analysis of the control policies
implemented. Objectives: 1) To update the evolution
of the characteristics of COVID-19 control policies
in Latin America, and 2) to analyze the sequence in
which these policies are implemented. Methods:
Data from the Government Response Stringency
Index (GRSI), developed by the Blavatnik School of
Government at Oxford University, was analyzed for
the 20 Latin American countries in the period January
21 to November 9, 2020. The evolution of the GRSI,
as well as of some of its components, was taken into
account. The sequence of implementation in three
countries (Uruguay, Argentina, and Panama) was also
analyzed. Results: The vast majority of the region’s
countries recorded an average GRSI of over 57 (out
of 100) for the period. In 15 countries of the region,
the mandatory closure of educational institutions
was in effect on 75 % of the days. Eighteen countries
implemented mandatory closures of businesses at
some point. Ten countries applied requirements to
remain in the home on more than 80 % of the days.
The sequence of policies implemented by Uruguay
reveals greater flexibility in application than those
implemented by Argentina and Panama. Discussion:
Uruguay’s experience shows that control of the
pandemic was possible, and that differences with other
countries may be related to structural (pre-pandemic)
factors, and management performance. Conclusions:
Health systems in the region must identify in detail
the institutional constraints evident in controlling the
pandemic, both to meet the challenges of health services
in the coming months, and to improve preparedness
for future pandemics.

Item set extraction without using constraints
Authors: Neelima K. , lakshmi Y.Naga , Suman Mr.M.
Published: December 2020

This paper presents the Item set extraction without using constraints, a general and compact structure which provides tight integration of item set extraction in a relational DBMS. Since no constraint is enforced during the index creation phase, It provides a complete representation of the original database. To reduce the I/O cost, data accessed together during the same extraction phase are clustered on the same disk block. The index structure can be efficiently exploited by different item set extraction algorithms. In particular, data access methods currently support the FP-growth and LCM v.2 algorithms, but they can straightforwardly support the enforcement of various constraint categories. show the efficiency of the proposed index and its linear scalability also for large data sets. Item set mining supported by the IMine index shows performance always comparable with, and often (especially for low supports) better than, state-of-the-art algorithms accessing data on flat file.
An Efficient Algorithm for Mining Of frequent items using incremental model
Authors: Panigrahi Nibedita , Pattnaik P.K. , Padhi S.K.
Published: December 2020

Data mining is a part of know ledge Discovery in database process (KDD). As technology advances, floods of data can be produced and shared in many appliances such as wireless Sensor networks or Web click streams. This calls for extracting useful information and knowledge from streams of data. In this paper, We have proposed an efficient algorithm, where, at any time the current frequencies of all frequent item sets can be immediately produced. The current frequency of an item set in a stream is defined as its maximal frequency over all possible windows in the stream from any point in the past until the current state. The experimental result shows the proposed algorithm not only maintains a small summery of information for one item set but also consumes less memory then existing algorithms for mining frequent item sets over recent data streams.

Authors: Amin S Intekhab , Alam Dr M.S.
Published: December 2020

Virtual Fabrication of sub-40nm Bulk MOSFET is carried out under channel engineering and source drain engineering process. These structures enable more aggressive device scaling in nano-scale region because of their ability to control short channel effects. How ever during scaling the junction depth should also be scaled down, which increases parasitic resistance so silicidation technique has been applied to reduce their effects on device. Analog performance has been measured in terms of gm, gds ,Av ,fT and fmax .The simulation result predict that gm is 3.75ms for engineered MOSFET as compared to nonengineered MOSFET with gm of 2.9ms for similar gate length, similarly Av for engineered device is 17.5db and for non-engineered device is 6.96db,fT is 146GHz and for non-engineered fT is 65GHz,fmax is 299GHz for engineered device and for nonengineered device fmaxis 170GHz and a comparison of an engineered device is done with a non engineered device to investigate the improved performance of an engineered device as compared to a non engineered device. Silvaco TCAD Tool is used for Virtual fabrication and simulation. ATHENA process simulator is used for virtual fabrication and ATLAS device simulator is used for device characterization.

Authors: Lakhani Hardik K. , Arun N.
Published: December 2020

In this paper, an approach to generate robust control algorithm for the single phase PFC boost converter is presented. This control rules provide fast output response while maintaining high power factor. This approach is based on derivation of the control functions for both current loop and voltage loop which is multi-loop control structure.
Designing of the control parameters are based on the required transient and the steady-state responses. Due to application of feedback linearization the performance of the of this control scheme is robust under all practical conditions. This method eliminates the nonlinearity and the dependence of the error dynamics on the input disturbance.
Experiments are conducted to evaluate the control performance.
A New Formulation for Load Flow Solution of Power Systems With Series FACTS Devices
Authors: Kumar P. sravan , Rao A. Appa , Kumar Dr. K. Sarat
Published: December 2020

This paper addresses the solution of load flow equa-tions for a power system with series flexible ac -transmission systems(FACTS) devices. A novel formulation of equations using dual state variables (current magnitude and angle) and dual controlvariables (series injected real power and series voltage in quadra-ture with current) for series devices is proposed. These specifica-tions can be related to transmission line loading and device limits.Specifications like power flow through a series device can also be handled using this formulation. The load flow equations are solved using Newton-Raphson technique. A decoupled formulation is also proposed. Case studies are carried out on IEEE test systems withseveral types of specifications to validate the method.

LINGUAGEM E RESISTÊNCIA EM MULHERES DE CINZAS, DE MIA COUTO E AMERICANAH, DE CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE
Authors: Alves Lopes Flois Cleonice
Published: December 2020

Neste estudo analiso as obras Mulheres de Cinzas, do escritor moçambicano Mia Couto e Americanah, da escritora nigeriana Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ancorada nas teorias Pós-coloniais sob o enfoque da resistência e da subversão a um modo único de ver a linguagem e a identidade das personagens que compõem a narrativa. Objetivo apresentar a importância do conceito de escritura que abarca relações éticas e estéticas que se presumem no ato de ler e é norteada pelos sentidos que se constroem nas condições sociais e culturais diversas pressupostas na leitura (Barthes, 2004). Devido à presença de movimentos políticos e culturais centralizadores viso desconstruir, com o auxílio da escritura dupla de Adichie e Couto, as tentativas de manter a leitura e a escrita subordinadas a determinadas utilidades sociais e históricas, dando espaço ao diferente e tratando o texto como híbrido e multilíngue. Para tanto conto com o poder destas duas narrativas contemporâneas que se caracterizam pela habilidade de subverter, de alterar e reconstruir sentidos que a tradição cultural produz. Ao entender que a leitura torna-se assertiva na medida em que a escritura se constitui como lugar de deslizamentos entre múltiplos e distintos universos, percebo que esse fenômeno ocorre por meio de estranhamentos, concordâncias, apropriações, pactos e rupturas uma vez que a escritura apresenta traços de resistência essenciais para a subversão dos discursos hegemônicos. Assim, entendo que essa escritura múltipla instrumentaliza a linguagem utilizada por Adichie e Couto, de modo a torná-la ferramenta de poder.
MEMÓRIA E IDENTIDADE NO CANCIONEIRO POPULAR NORDESTINO
Authors: Leonardeli Poliana Bernabe
Published: December 2020

A poesia popular preserva, por meio da oralidade, a memória e a identidade do povo do Nordeste. Os cantadores populares, imersos na realidade subalterna, sofrem a influência do contexto cultural e linguístico desses ambientes e em contrapartida utilizam os signos dessa realidade em suas produções literárias. O artigo se propõe a compreender esse fenômeno por meio da análise de textos de Patativa do Assaré a fim de comprovar que na produção desse poeta ocorre a influência dos signos culturais nordestinos e que estes, alinhados à mente criativa do trovador, foram responsáveis pela criação de uma obra literária cujo sentido preserva a memória e a identidade do povo sertanejo, subvertendo, na grande maioria das vezes, uma narrativa hegemônica que se quis incutir acerca daqueles indivíduos e daquela região.

A vigilância como prática e valor jornalístico na cobertura da #VazaJato
Authors: Dalmonte Edson Fernando , Queiroz Caio Cardoso
Published: December 2020

Quando discutimos a conformação dos valores morais em sociedade, reconhecemos que tanto o jornalismo quanto a vigilância se estruturam em padrões de virtudes, deveres ou “bens” sociais específicos. A partir da análise dos valores profissionais jornalísticos presentes em 98 publicações da cobertura da #VazaJato por oito mídias, entre junho de 2019 e março de 2020, buscamos verificar se tais características estarão refletidas na formação de um sistema de vigilância amplo. As ações de monitoramento, acompanhamento e crítica sobre as esferas de poder são vistas, ao longo da cobertura, como principais definidoras de um dever jornalístico fundamental. Observamos, assim, como a dinâmica de discussão de padrões morais na profissão nesta cobertura tem reforçado a presença da vigilância como aspecto central nas formas de justificação da estruturação do jornalismo.

Este artigo analisa como a imediatez característica do rádio migra para as lógicas instantâneas e efêmeras das mídias sociais, que assumem, em boa medida, o espalhamento informativo do próprio jornalismo. Para tanto, analisamos o caso da reverberação instantânea do comentário sexista do locutor de rádio e apresentador de TV Gustavo Negreiros contra a ativista ambiental Greta Thunberg, através de postagens públicas no Facebook e de mensagens em grupos privados do Whatsapp. O comentário sexista foi respondido com uma onda de mobilização em mídias sociais, repercutindo na retirada de patrocinadores do programa de rádio e consequente afastamento do locutor. Observa-se a alteração do tempo da audiência, que tensiona para uma reacomodação das lógicas do jornalismo no rádio, tendo em conta a ascensão de fluxos informativos da ordem da circulação, que redefinem o efêmero, o interesse público e o atual.
Construction of the Functional Voxel Model for a Spline Curve
Authors: Tolok Alexey , Tolok Nataliya , Sycheva Anastasiya
Published: December 2020

Analytical models are the most accurate method of geometric information representation. Parameterized smooth curves cannot be used in the field of analytical geometry, which explains the necessity for finding of analytical representation of such curves. The article considered the construction of a smooth curve presented in an analytical form and some approaches to finding an analytical model for a parametric Bezier curve. А presentation of a function in the form of its functional areas was chosen as prototype of the analytical model. The selected representation formed on the basis of the De Casteljau's method of constructing the Bezier curve and set-theoretic modeling. The Rvachev functions (R-functions) are used as the mathematical apparatus of set-theoretic operations on function areas. The functional-voxel method makes it possible to simplify the computation of R-functional procedures. An algorithm for constructing the functional area of the Bezier curve is developed on the basis of the presented combined R-voxel approach. The obtained results allow for the conclusions about the adequacy of this approach and its development protentional to construct more complicated structures.

The article considers an example of modeling the ORCA algorithm using the functional-voxel method. An analytical description of the permissible collision zone using the set-theoretic apparatus of Rvachev functions (R-functions) is proposed. Based on graphical image models, an approach to constructing the area of permissible robot speeds on the plane and in space has been developed.
Rooms triomfalisme in de Amsterdamse straten
Authors: Poels Vefie
Published: December 2020

This article analyses the preparations and the implementation of the 27th International Eucharistic Congress, held at Amsterdam in 1924. After an introduction on the (negative) image of this congress in Dutch historiography, on the person of de papal legate (the Dutch cardinal Willem van Rossum CSSR), and on the phenomenon of the ‘Eucharistic Congresses’ and its organizing committee, the author analyses the forces pro and contra the organization of such a Congress in Amsterdam. The initiative was taken by some ultramontane clergy and laypeople, gathered around the revival of the devotion of the Amsterdam Eucharistic Miracle (1345). The bishop involved, mgr. A. Callier of Harlem, felt little of inviting the organizing committee to choose for Amsterdam, and also the (Roman Catholic) Prime Minister Ruijs de Beerenbrouck kept aloof, fearing a revival of protestant antipapism. So in advance it was already clear that the government and queen Wilhelmina would avoid every diplomatic presence – quit different as was the case at similar congresses in other countries. Besides, a grand procession through the Amsterdam streets was impossible because of the then still prevailing prohibition of public religious processions. The most important ceremonies thus were held in the Amsterdam soccer stadium. The Congress strengthened the feeling of unity of the ‘common’ Catholics with the Dutch cardinal as their shared national icon, but on the other hand it worsened the relations between the Dutch episcopate and the Prime Minister, and their ‘man in Rome’. In the end the Eucharistic Congress had no antipapistic consequences, and only limited political consequences, thanks to quite a lot of informal negotiations before and during the Congress. It nevertheless played a role on the background, when the government decided in 1925 to close the Dutch embassy at the Vatican.
De kerk als alternatief voor de natie
Authors: Harinck George
Published: December 2020

The ecumenical movement started at the time of the First World War and was molded by the nationalism that ignited this war. In 1914-1918 it became clear that the nations had become a hindrance for the churches. At first, internationalism seemed the answer to this problem, but in the 1920s and 1930s it turned out that internationalism still was too abstract, and nationalism was still too dominant. In the early 1920s W.A. Visser ’t Hooft was active in the international Christian student movement, where he learned the relevance of Christianity as an alternative for nationalism, and in the 1930s he explicitly chose for the church as an alternative for the nation. In order to make the church relevant over against nationalism and rising totalitarianism the national, liturgical and confessional differences between churches had to be overcome to enable the church to speak with one voice. This aim was not realized yet at the time of the Second World War, but the ecumenical movement encouraged churches to formulate its own identity and develop its own mission amidst nationalism and totalitarianism.
In afwachting van betere tijden1

The Second World War, the Japanese military regime and the detention of Dutch Protestant and Catholic missionaries in prison camps had considerable consequences for the functioning of church life in Borneo, both within and outside the detention camps. These consequences constitute the theme of this article. Church life in the island continued to suffer some of these consequences beyond the end of the war.
A Fuzzy BI-Objective Model for SVM with an Interactive Procedure to Identify the Best Compromise Solution
Authors: Ali Yahia Hager , Moustafa Mohammed Zakaria , Mohammed Mohammed Rizk , Khater Hatem Awad
Published: December 2020

A support vector machine (SVM) learns the decision surface from two different classes of the input points. In many applications, there are misclassifications in some of the input points and each is not fully assigned to one of these two classes. In this paper a bi-objective quadratic programming model with fuzzy parameters is utilized and different feature quality measures are optimized simultaneously. An α-cut is defined to transform the fuzzy model to a family of classical bi-objective quadratic programming problems. The weighting method is used to optimize each of these problems. An important contribution will be added for the proposed fuzzy bi-objective quadratic programming model by getting different efficient support vectors due to changing the weighting values. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the α-cut with the weighting parameters on reducing the misclassification between two classes of the input points. An interactive procedure will be added to identify the best compromise solution from the generated efficient solutions.
Study of the Very Slow Speed Solar Wind Streams with Cosmic Ray
Intensity and Ae Index for Solar Cycle 24 (2008-2013)
Authors: Pokharia Meena , Prasad Lalan
Published: December 2020

The aim of this paper is to investigate the association of the variation of very slow speed solar wind streams (VSSSWS) with the cosmic ray intensity (CRI) and Ae index for solar cycle 24 (2008-2013). A Chree analysis by the superposed epoch method has been done in the study. The results of the present analysis showed that VSSSWS are not able to produce decreases in CRI. The prime source of the variation in magnetic activity near aurora zone is the wind interaction with the magnetosphere, but the speed of VSSSWS is low enough to produce any significant impact on aurora zone magnetic activity.

Published: December 2020

Using 30 years data (1986-2015) we have made an attempt to study the dependency of total column ozone (TCO) on solar activity features: solar flares (SF), solar active prominence (SAP) and sunspot numbers (SN) for two hill stations of Uttarakhand viz. Nainital (29.40 N.79.470E) and Mussorie (30.270 N 78.060 E) by Artificial neural network (ANN) technique. Our study supports the fact that solar activity features contribute to the production of ozone.
On Standard Model, Topological Skyrme Model and Revival of the Sakaton
Authors: Afsar Abbas Syed
Published: December 2020

We study the basic conflict between the standard model of particle physics and an another similarly structured but quite different model having the electric charge with color degrees of freedom, and how they connect to a consistent study of QCD for arbitrary number of colors. Further, with the imposition of the consistency with electric charges (i.e. with QED), the topological Skyrme model is shown to lead to a clear revival of the concept of the Sakaton as a physical reality which provides a new perspective to the hypernuclei.

Published: December 2020

Among several laser applications, nonlinear optical phenomena have emerged as a new area of research. Nonlinear optics of low dimensional systems such as quantum dots (0D), carbon nano tubes (1D) and graphene derivatives (2D) has been under intense scrutiny. In the present manuscript we present some of our research work in these topics carried out with a simple technique of z-scan. This technique is useful for the studies of novel materials and can be replicated in a laboratory that has a pulsed (ns or shorter duration) laser facility.

Published: December 2020

Odonata is an important group of macroinvertebrates which are highly sensitive to environmental changes and pollution. This is the reason why they are mostly studied as change in water quality pattern. The dial study of drifting behavior in such species also indicates towards the feeding behavior of fishes available in that habitat. In the
present communication an attempt has been made to view the drifting patterns in a sensitive macro zoobenthic group Odonata in the Kyunja Gad which is a tributary of the snow-fed River Mandakani.
