There are many strategies for noting the priority of various tasks on your to do lists. One technique is to feature stars or exclamation marks next to the high-priority responsibilities. Another technique is to apply numbers or letters to rank duties. You can also use underlining or circling or maybe change the size of your writing to indicate crucial gadgets. In this undertaking we can work at the information provided by means of the consumer and perform movements consisting of adding, prioritizing, and putting off. It makes one’s work-lifestyles and private life organized. It answers our queries by using marking the tasks which can be already executed with a checked symbol by using clicking at the listing. Additionally, the application may even list down the full number of To-do lists which are available and will also have a choice to filter project based totally on priorities. The priority drop-down box has three priorities low, medium, and excessive. A net software that prioritizes to-do listing for consumer comfort.
Libisosa. Historia congelada
Authors: Uroz Rodríguez Héctor
Published: May 2022

Los resultados de las excavaciones arqueológicas llevadas a cabo de forma ininterrumpida desde 1996 en el yacimiento de Libisosa, en la localidad de Lezuza, han marcado un hito en el conocimiento del Patrimonio histórico-arqueológico albacetense. Esta obra constituye una ventana a la historia de la que fuera colonia romana de derecho itálico, antes oppidum de los oretanos y, finalmente, enclave estratégico bajomedieval, poniendo el foco en la fase que sin duda brilla con luz propia: la iberorromana. Las últimas intervenciones aportan una documentación privilegiada prácticamente sin parangón en ningún otro rincón de la geografía hispana.
Recovering time-dependent diffusion coefficients in a nonautonomous parabolic equation from energy measurements
Authors: Favini Angelo , Mola Gianluca , Romanelli Silvia
Published: May 2022

Let \begin{document}$ \left(H, \langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle \right) $\end{document} be a separable Hilbert space and \begin{document}$ A_{i}:D(A_i) \to H $\end{document} (\begin{document}$ i = 1, \cdots, n $\end{document}) be a family of nonnegative selfadjoint operators mutually commuting. We study the inverse problem consisting in the identification of the function \begin{document}$ u:[0, T] \to H $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ n $\end{document} time-dependent diffusion coefficients \begin{document}$ \alpha_{1}, \cdots, \alpha_{n}:[s, T] \to {\mathbb{R}}_+ $\end{document} that fulfill the initial-value problem

   \begin{document}$ u'(t) + \alpha_{1}(t) A_{1}u(t) + \cdots + \alpha_{n}(t) A_{n}u(t) = 0, \quad s \leq t \leq T, \quad u(s) = x, $\end{document}

and the additional conditions

   \begin{document}$ \langle A_{1} u(t), u(t)\rangle = \varphi_{1}(t), \quad \cdots \quad, \langle A_{n} u(t), u(t)\rangle = \varphi_{n}(t), \quad s \leq t \leq T. $\end{document}

Under suitable assumptions on the operators \begin{document}$ A_i $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ i = 1, \cdots, n $\end{document}, on the initial data \begin{document}$ x\in H $\end{document} and on the given functions \begin{document}$ \varphi_i $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ i = 1, \cdots, n $\end{document}, we shall prove that the solution of such a problem exists, is unique and depends continuously on the data. We apply the abstract result to the identification of diffusion coefficients in a heat equation and of the Lamé parameters in an elasticity problem on a plate.
Apología de los marginados. Miguel de Lardizábal y la igualdad en el siglo XVIII
Authors: Ibarra González Ana Carolina
Published: May 2022

Partiendo de la necesidad de llamar la atención sobre la dimensión histórica de los problemas actuales, el artículo se propone analizar uno de los grandes temas de la época de la Ilustración: el tema de la igualdad en sociedades del Antiguo Régimen en las que el discurso igualitario se fue abriendo camino. Toma como centro de su reflexión la obra de un criollo mexicano, Miguel de Lardizábal y Uribe, Apología por los agótes de Navarra, y los chuetas de Mallorca, con una breve digresión á los vaqueiros de Asturias, para ahondar en su comprensión a la luz de la trayectoria de su autor y de las discusiones contemporáneas. Es parte de una investigación en curso en torno a los hermanos Lardizábal y sus redes de relaciones en España y América.
La toilette d’Atalante. Érotiser le corps féminin sur la céramique du banquet (Athènes, époque classique)
Authors: Villard Flavien
Published: May 2022

Sur plusieurs vases du ve siècle, les peintres attiques ont représenté des figures féminines partiellement ou totalement dénudées qui manipulent différents accessoires athlétiques. Dans certains cas, qui constituent l’objet de cette étude, la jeune femme peut être identifiée comme l’héroïne Atalante. L’article montre comment ces images ne témoignent pas de pratiques réelles, mais sont créées pour exciter les banqueteurs qui utilisent les vases sur lesquels elles sont dépeintes.
« Naked as a sign ». Comment les Quakers ont inventé la nudité protestataire
Authors: Cavaillé Jean-Pierre
Published: May 2022

Dans les années 1650, l’Angleterre fut le théâtre d’une longue série d’exhibitions prophétiques et protestataires, d’hommes et de femmes nues en des lieux publics (rues, églises, universités...), provoquant le scandale et l’incompréhension de la plus grande partie du public. Ces femmes et ces hommes allaient nus « as a sign », renouvelant ainsi un épisode de l’Ancien Testament (Ésaïe 20.2-3) pour dénoncer la « nudité » spirituelle de ceux devant lesquels ils s’exhibaient. Cette pratique visait à montrer ce que Dieu était sur le point de leur infliger : une mise à nu, un dépouillement complet de tous leurs biens, pouvoirs et prérogatives sociales. Une approche genrée de ces exhibitions de nudité éclaire les enjeux théologico-politiques et sociaux d’un phénomène qui accompagna la naissance et le développement du mouvement quaker et se prolongea jusqu’en Nouvelle-Angleterre
Se déshabiller sur scène au tournant du siècle.Le Coucher d’Yvette (Paris, 1894)
Authors: Paillet Camille
Published: May 2022

Cet article interroge les aspects sociaux et symboliques du dénudement des artistes féminines sur les scènes des cafés-concerts parisiens à la fin du xixe siècle. L’étude de ce geste scénique prend appui sur l’exemple du Coucher d’Yvette, un spectacle dont le succès renouvelé par de nombreuses imitations préfigure la postérité du genre de l’effeuillage dans la programmation des spectacles parisiens au xxe siècle. L’analyse des manuscrits de spectacle d’effeuillage conservés dans les archives de la censure dramatique, l’exploration de sources iconographiques, ainsi que l’appui de plusieurs discours de réception sur la pratique féminine du déshabillage sur scène permettent de saisir l’engouement suscité par l’érotisation de ce geste et l’impact de cette réception sur l’histoire du corps et du genre à cette période.
Plus nue qu’Isadora Duncan. La nouvelle danse russe après la révolution d’Octobre
Authors: Manko Polina
Published: May 2022

Cet article aborde le rôle de la nudité sur scène dans l’émergence des modernités en danse, en se penchant plus particulièrement sur le contexte peu étudié de la Russie après la révolution d’Octobre 1917. À travers l’étude des discours et de la réception de l’œuvre de deux protagonistes de la « nouvelle danse » russe des années 1920, Kassian Goleïzovski et Lev Loukine, cette contribution interroge le sens que ces chorégraphes cherchaient à construire autour du dénudement de couple et de groupe sur scène. On montre que ce dénudement reflétait une rupture non seulement avec l’héritage impérial de la danse classique et ses relations genrées entre partenaires, mais aussi avec la « danse libre » introduite auparavant par Isadora Duncan lors de ses tournées dans le pays.
A Public Cervix Announcement. Une performance pro-sexe et post-porn d’Annie Sprinkle (New York, 1990)
Authors: Aulombard-Arnaud Noémie
Published: May 2022

Au tout début des années 1990, Annie Sprinkle présente, à l’Harmony Theater de New York, sa performance la plus célèbre A Public Cervix Announcement dans laquelle elle invite le public à observer son col de l’utérus. Prônant la réappropriation féministe du sexe féminin, cette performance subvertit les codes andro et hétérocentrés de l’iconographie pornographique. Cet article montre de quelle manière les images de sexualité mises en scène dans cette performance contribuent, dans le sillage des démarches pro-sexe et post-porn, à élaborer de nouvelles monstrations des corps et des sexualités minorisés.
Pour une géographie historique du bouton de culotte
Authors: Pitte Jean-Robert
Published: May 2022

La géographie historique du bouton est plus complexe qu’il n’y paraît. Son usage reflète le perfectionnement culturel des sociétés depuis l’Antiquité car il montre une manière de porter le vêtement plus facilement. Il est identifié en Chine durant l’Antiquité et se retrouve en matériau dur en Europe au Moyen-Age avant de connaître une diffusion plus large à partir du XIXe siècle. Son évolution dans l’espace et dans le temps témoigne de sa lente appropriation par les sociétés sous des formes et pour des raisons diverses.
Régimes de justification et processus de reterritorialisation de l’alimentation
Authors: Le Bel Pierre-Mathieu , Houdart Marie
Published: May 2022

La reterritorialisation de l’agriculture et de l’alimentation pose la question de la coexistence ou de l’hybridation des modèles de gouvernance alimentaire. Cette hybridation est susceptible de nous mettre en porte-à-faux face aux réalités de terrain sur lesquelles il est difficile d’appliquer des modèles préétablis. Nous suggérons qu’en tenant compte des mondes de référence des acteurs, cela nous permet de mieux comprendre les motivations des acteurs et les mécanismes qui soutiennent la cohabitation de modèles agro-alimentaires. Dans cette logique, nous proposons d’étudier la théorie de la justification, puis de nous intéresser aux régimes de justification mobilisés par ces acteurs. L’Association pour le développement des monnaies locales (ADML63) et le Projet Alimentaire Territorial du Grand Clermont et du Parc Naturel Régional du Livradois Forez (PAT) serviront de cas d’étude. En nous appuyant sur de l’observation participante et des entretiens semi-dirigés, notre article fait ressortir 1) les registres de justifications mobilisés par les acteurs des deux cas, qui permettent un certain nombre de points d’arrimage entre modèles d’action, et 2) les modalités de coordination d’acteurs qui sous-tendent ces modèles.
La lutte pour la sécurité alimentaire vue à travers l’approche de l’initiative locale : le modèle d’action de Parole d’excluEs à Montréal
Authors: Klein Juan-Luis , Enríquez Darío
Published: May 2022

Ce texte porte sur la lutte contre l’insécurité alimentaire dans les villes des pays considérés comme développés. Il cible les actions collectives qui innovent socialement et qui proposent des alternatives face aux systèmes alimentaires dominants. Ces systèmes, qui visent avant tout les consommateurs solvables, favorisent la désertification alimentaire laquelle affecte surtout les populations les plus vulnérables. En réponse à ces inégalités, de nouveaux modèles d’action se mettent en œuvre portés par des mouvements citoyens territorialisés et imbriqués à diverses échelles. À partir de la perspective de l’innovation socio-territoriale, le texte analyse les initiatives mises en œuvre à Montréal, dans l’arrondissement de Montréal-Nord, par l’organisme Parole d’excluEs, initiatives qui ont conduit à la proposition d’un système alimentaire pour tous.

Authors: Umudi E.Q. , Adaikpo E. , Obukohwo I.E. , Igborgbor J. , Egheneji A.
Published: May 2022

This paper evaluates the use of three Nigerian clay types Otorho (OT, Abbi (BB) and Umutu (UM) as adsorbent for the reduction of chlorine in seawater from (Forcados/Ogulagha aix in Southwest Delta State using XRD X ray diffraction and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The alumino silicate nature of the clays was confirmed by the presence of SiO2 and Al2O3 and the presence of other elements (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe and Ti) in trace quantities. Percolation rate studies showed that clay UN had the lowest while OT had the highest. Clays fortified with stone pebbles in ratios 1:3 in columns in one flow-through and three flow troughs were used in different arrangements. Fortified clay (UM) gave the highest percentage reduction of 99.9%, BB clay 98.0% and OT clay 99.2%. The results showed that clay UM removed >99% of chloride.

Published: May 2022

The pollution load and anthropogenic pressure on different water sources may be reflected in the physicochemical quality evaluation of drinking water sources. This study was undertaken to evaluate the physicochemical quality of the Iyi-Etu River and other water sources such as well and borehole used by the Amansea livestock market settlement for drinking and domestic purpose. A total of 96 (36 river, 12 well, 12 borehole, 12 effluent, and 24 sachet water samples) samples were collected from these sources over 12 months. The water samples were collected using a composite sampling technique and temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, and total dissolved solids were measured onsite in triplicates using a water quality meter. Temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, and total dissolved solids recorded in this study ranged as follows: 23.8-32.6 ˚C, 5.2-8.6, 3.9×101 to 3.8×103 µS/cm and 1.9×101 to 1.9×103 mg/L respectively. The mean pH and temperature of all sample types were within WHO standard guidelines for drinking water. All sample types except well and effluent samples were within the limit of WHO guidelines for electrical conductivity of drinking water. Measurements of EC and TDS were lower upstream (112.2 µS/cm; 56.5 mg/L) than downstream 1 (203.3 µS/cm; 108.2 mg/L) and downstream 2 (197.1 µS/cm; 98.1 mg/L). These figures reveal the possible contamination of the Iyi-Etu River with abattoir effluent coming from the Amansea abattoir that is near the river. The Iyi-Etu River and well water are contaminated with different sources of contamination and serve as a public health hazard to all those using it for drinking and or domestic purposes.

Published: May 2022

The aim of the study was to investigate efficient sterilization methods for reducing microbial contamination and phenolic compound of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) leaf culture. The non-chlorophyllous immature coconut leaves explant used were taken from unopened spear leaves tissue of the coconut seedling, from the apical growing regions close to the meristem of the palm sucker of about 15 months old. Murashige and Skoog (MS medium) supplemented with 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) at concentration of 30 mg/L and 6-Benzyl amino purine (BAP) at concentration of 1.5 mg/L were used for morphologic responses. Mercuric chloride, ethanol, calcium hypochlorite and sodium hypochlorite were usedto sterilize the explants at concentrations of 0.1 %, 0.2 %, 0.3 % and 0.4 % and 70-95 % of ethanol for 5 minutes. This was followed by rinsing the explants with distilled water four successive times. The sterilized explants were inoculated on MS media and were incubated at 25±2oC in the dark. Results showed that contamination was less in the cultures, particularly in explants sterilized with 70 % ethanol. Although, all the steriliants did well, but ethanol is more preferable than the rest steriliants, in solving both problems.
Physalin A alleviates inflammation and oxidative stress in mouse infantile pneumonia by inhibiting JAK/STAT3 and NF κB pathways
Authors: Ling Zhenhua , Zhao Jinhua
Published: May 2022

Purpose: To investigate the effect of physalin A on infantile pneumonia in mice.

Methods: A mouse model of infantile pneumonia was established via intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide and verified using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated mice were then administered physalin A. The total protein content, number of cells, and levels of inflammatory-factor in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were determined. Inflammation and oxidative stress levels in lung tissues were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Results: Lipopolysaccharide injection induced shrinking of pulmonary alveoli in mice, but physalin A administration ameliorated the histopathologic damage in lung tissues and significantly reduced the total protein content and number of cells in the BALF of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated mice (p < 0.001). Moreover, physalin A also significantly down-regulated the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-18, and IL-1β in BALF and lung tissues of lipopolysaccharide-treated mice (p < 0.001). Physalin A attenuated lipopolysaccharide-induced increases in malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase as well as decreases in superoxide dismutase and glutathione in mouse lung tissues. Additionally, physalin A reduced the levels of p-JAK1, p-STAT3, and p-p65 in lung tissues of lipopolysaccharide-treated mice.

Conclusion: Physalin A exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effect on lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury in mice through the inactivation of JAK/STAT3 and NF-κB pathways. However, the effect of Physalin A on inflammation and oxidative stress in lipopolysaccharide-induced A549 cells will need to be investigated in further studies.

Published: May 2022

Hydraulic drive systems are commonly used in many different industrial sections. In the underground mining industry, in addition to ensuring transmission for big equipment, hydraulic equipment also must be fire safety. During the working process, the hydraulic oil gets hot and the viscosity decreases, it make the transmission power decrease. Due to the harsh actual working conditions of hydraulic equipment such as high working intensity, high working environment temperature, the oil cooler cannot cool the hydraulic oil to the required temperature. In order to choose the right type of oil cooler for hydraulic actuators, it is necessary to calculate the working parameters of the oil cooler according to specific working conditions. Currently, the selection of hydraulic oil coolers is often based on the experience of the designer, so it can lead to errors. In order to increase the reliability of the hydraulic oil cooler, this paper has built a calculation formula based on the thermodynamic theory and the heat transfer characteristic graphs in the catalogs of the hydraulic oil cooler. At the same time, the paper made an illustrative example for the selection of the hydraulic oil cooler of the JKYB hydraulic explosion-proof hoist used at Duong Huy coal company.
Características de la co-delincuencia sexual femenina vs. las delincuentes sexuales en solitario
Authors: De la Torre Laso Jesús
Published: May 2022

La participación de las mujeres en la delincuencia sexual ha tenido un escaso seguimiento por parte de las investigaciones. Se ha realizado una revisión sistemática de las investigaciones que han comparado la delincuencia sexual femenina en solitario frente a las mujeres que participan en grupo. Se encontraron 10 estudios que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Los resultados muestran que las mujeres participan del comportamiento co-delictivo en una mayor proporción que de manera individual. Así mismo, la actividad delictiva sexual de las mujeres suele implicar, con una mayor frecuencia, a otros delincuentes, que suelen ser hombres y, en la mayoría de las ocasiones, son su pareja sentimental. Las mujeres que actúan en solitario suelen atacar a víctimas masculinas con las que no tienen relación, mientras que las que actúan en co-delincuencia actúan, sobre todo, contra sus hijos o contra menores que están a su cargo.

This research looked into the indicators of sustainability reporting and the performance of non-financial Companies in Nigeria. The researchers looked at the impact of sustainability reporting indicators on the Return on Asset (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Profit Margin (NPM) performance indicators all at the same time. Ex-post facto design was used in this study. Out of 168 non-financial companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange, a total of 64 listed enterprises were researched, and secondary data was taken from their yearly financial statements as presented in the fact book. The data was analyzed using the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model. The probability value p-value was the statistical technique used to assess the hypotheses. Findings from this study show that Sustainability reporting indicators impacted positively but not statistically significant on Return on Asset (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE) and Net Profit Margin (NPM) of non-financial companies investigated. Companies are therefore, encouraged to align sustainability disclosure objectives with other performance and shareholders profit maximization objectives of the firm.
Color Healing the Balinese Mandala Color in Painting Practice
Authors:   ISI Denpasar Jalan Nusa Indah Denpasar 80235, Karja I Wayan
Published: May 2022

Color is very essential in life; it is hard to imagine this world without color or only black and white. All colors appear between black and white because they exist due to the effects of light and energy. This article focuses on how to use color as a medium of healing. The color of the Balinese mandala in form of the circle color wheel, each direction has its color, meaning, gods, place in the body, day, and number. The color is related to balance human emotion and healing psychology. Psychology is part of the field of science and applied science about human behavior, mental function, and mental processes. At first, color healing is only considered as a discourse in the development of visual art, but over time, gradually the understanding of using color healing began to develop. Painting becomes a pleasure that is very useful in developing and exploring various layers of life, both physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. The main methods of using color as healing are play, flow, and freedom. There are several steps I used to practice using color healing; (1) study the psychological level of feelings of the participant; (2) classify the problem and search for the methods of expression; (3) interpretation and analysis of the artworks produced by participants; and (4) interpreting the colors and interviewing according to the participant's needs. In this case, the aspects of generating internal awareness and high sensitivity within the participant become the main focus.
(De) Constructing Patriarchal and Sexist Discourses: Re-Reading Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye and Sula
Authors:   PhD Department of English and Cultural Studies, University of Buea, Republic of Cameroon ORCID ID: 0000-0003-2704-5949, Tiambei Francis
Published: May 2022

Patriarchal and sexist discourses have come under scorching attacks from most feminist writers since the advent of modern feminism. This work analyses Toni Morrison’s attempt at deconstructing patriarchal and sexist discourses in The Bluest Eye and Sula. It adds its voice to the ever vibrant conversation on the issue of patriarchy and sexism especially as portrayed in the works of African American female writers who see their stories as twice-told tales - victims of both racism and patriarchal dominance. Tony Morrison challenges patriarchal and sexist values which she sees as monolithic discourses that hold no ground. She portrays female characters whose never-say-die attitudes go a long way towards deconstructing this monolithic system. By showing her male characters as weak, irresponsible, and social misfits, and her female characters as dynamic, strong, and hardworking individuals on whom their different families rely for security and sustenance, Morrison is not only rejecting the prevailing patriarchal values of our society, she is as well on a crusade towards its deconstruction. In so doing, she does not try to paint spotless alabaster heroines, but rather she shows ordinary women in their struggle for survival in an indifferent and often times cruel environment.

Authors:   Full Professor in Business Administration, Management Department- Ca’Foscari Venezia S. Giobbe – Cannaregio 873- 30121 Venezia (Italy), Avi Maria Silvia
Published: May 2022

On 29 March 2022, the International Sustainability Standard Board (ISSB), an emanation of the IASB, issued two Exposure Drafts: IFRS S1 General Requirement for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosure. This article will only deal with Draft S2, which proposes a very comprehensive formal and substantive reporting structure concerning the issue of the climate impact of companies' production activities. It must read Draft S2 in the light of Draft S1 since both documents refer to the same rules of conduct and the same formal structure of the external report. The two Drafts S1 and S2 interpreted as documents that form part of a single global vision of corporate communication, show how the ISSB wants to overcome the duality of financial reporting/sustainable disclosure and propose a unified idea of corporate communication. This is also demonstrated by the proposal, contained in Draft S1 and taken up by Draft S2 as an explicit reference to what was stated in the First Draft, to communicate financial reporting and all reports on sustainability and climate change to third parties on the same date and with the same communication tool.

Authors: Sana Nazish , Rashid Anila
Published: May 2022

Objective: To determine the aetiologies of pancytopenia based on bone trephine biopsy among paediatric and adult patients.
Method: The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the Haematology Department of Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and comprised data from June 1, 2016, to October 31,2019 related to pancytopenia patients who underwent bone marrow biopsy. Data included age, gender, presenting symptoms, physical examination, complete blood count, peripheral smear, bone marrow aspirate and trephine biopsy findings and final diagnosis. Data was analysed using SPSS 19.
Results: Of the 2852bone marrow biopsies done, 255(9%) related to evaluation of pancytopenia. Of them, 208(82%) were adult and 47(18%) were paediatric patients. The median age for adults was 38.8 years (range: 16-92years) and that in paediatric patients was 10.9 years (range: 2-15 years). Presenting symptoms were available for 182(71.4%) patients, and the commonest symptom was generalised weakness 128(70.3%). Overall, pallor was the most frequent sign 233(93.2%). Anisocytosis was predominant blood smear finding 156(61.1%), while the commonest aetiology was aplastic anaemia in both paediatric 23(49%) and adult 57(27.4%) groups. Bone marrow biopsy established the diagnosis in 253(99.2%) cases, while 2(0.95%) adult cases were not diagnostic. Of the diagnosed cases, 103(40.4%) were malignant; 15(32%) paediatric patients and 88(42.3%) adults. The rest were benign; 31(67.4%) paediatric patients and 119(3%) adults.
Conclusion: Bone marrow biopsy helped in diagnosing all but 2 pancytopenic patients. Aplastic anaemia was the commonest cause in both paediatric and adult patients.

Neonatal haemolytic disease with co-existing Anti-D and Anti-C antibodies: an unusual experience
Authors: Durrani Hafiza Mehreen , Zaman Zubia , Mansoor Raza Imran , Jamali Munira , Saleem Ayesha , Muzammil Ejaz Shabana
Published: May 2022

Neonatal haemolytic disease in the new-born remains of prime importance for paediatricians due to high perinatal morbidity and mortality rates. The Rh antigen family comprises several different antigens, out of which, D antigen incompatibility is well known for causing severe haemolytic disease in the foetus. Although the current literature shows anomalous cases where coexisting non-D-Rh and D-Rh antigens are the causative agents, there is very little information regarding post-natal outcomes in neonates bearing two different incompatibilities simultaneously. Herein, we discuss an unusual case of anti-D as well as anti-C antibodies (non-D-Rh) in a male neonate born to a Rh-negative mother, who developed jaundice and haemolysis in post-natal life. The neonate underwent exchange transfusion and photo therapy due to raised serum bilirubin levels, supplemented with repeated blood transfusions, intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, and immunosuppressive therapy.

Abstract. One promising design solution for increasing the energy production of modern horizontal axis wind turbines is the installation of curved tip extensions. However, since the aeroelastic response of such geometrical add-ons has not been characterized yet, there are currently uncertainties in the application of traditional aerodynamic numerical models. The objective of the present work is twofold. On the one hand, it represents the first effort in the experimental characterization of curved tip extensions in atmospheric flow. On the other hand, it includes a comprehensive validation exercise, accounting for different numerical models for aerodynamic loads prediction. The experiments consist of controlled field tests in the outdoor rotating rig at the Risø campus of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and consider a swept tip shape. This geometry is the result of an optimized design, focusing on locally maximizing power performance within load constraints compared to an optimal straight tip. The tip model is instrumented with spanwise bands of pressure sensors and is tested in atmospheric inflow conditions. A range of fidelity of aerodynamic models is then utilized to aeroelastically simulate the test cases and to compare with the measurement data. Those aerodynamic codes include a blade element momentum (BEM) method, a vortex-based method coupling a near-wake model with a far-wake model (NW), a lifting-line hybrid wake model (LL) and fully resolved Navier-Stokes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Results show that the measured mean normal loading can be captured well with the vortex-based codes and the CFD solver. The observed trends in mean loading are in good agreement with previous wind tunnel tests of a scaled and stiff model of the tip extension. The CFD solution shows a highly three-dimensional flow at the very outboard part of the curved tip that leads to large changes of the angle of the resultant force with respect to the chord. Turbulent simulations using the BEM code and the vortex codes resulted in a good match with the measured standard deviation of the normal force, with some deviations of the BEM results due to the missing root vortex effect.

Objectives: To investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the frequency of provision of dental appointments and types of dental care services.Methods: The dental records of three dental health services, over 3 months, in the year before (2019) and a year during (2020) the pandemic were retrieved. The dental records were categorized according to the referral after diagnosis into prosthodontics, pedodontics, orthodontics, conservative, endodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery. The demographic variables and types of treatment provided were recorded and analyzed. The frequency of appointments was determined from overall dental records and departmental dental records. Chi square test was used to determine the effect of gender and age on dental appointments.Results: According to the dental records for 2019, 7286 appointments were provided, and this number decreased by 2.4-fold to 3090 appointments in 2020. The records indicated that the highest decreases were in non-urgent dental appointments in the periodontics, orthodontics and conservative departments (8, 8, and 4.6-fold, respectively). Statistically significant differences in dental pre-pandemic and pandemic appointments were identified for gender and age group. Female and older (>64 years old) subjects appeared to be less willing to attend dental appointments (OR=1.2 and 1.3, respectively) compared to their male and younger counterparts.Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant influence on decreasing attendance at dental appointments and the records show that the highest decreases were in non-urgent dental departments.

Published: May 2022

This article focuses on the problem of functions performed by semiotic resources in a multimodal literary text. Semiotically heterogeneous components in a multimodal text form a single whole and have a complex effect on the addressee; nonverbal components are an organic part of the text that does not interfere with its perception by the reader. The functions of various semiotic resources in Mark Haddon’s novel “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” are analyzed.

Published: May 2022

In this work, the spatial and temporal distributions of small thermal and electromagnetic perturbations in a plane semi-infinite superconducting sample are studied. Based on a system of equations for temperature, magnetic induction, and vortex motion, a dispersion relation was obtained that determines the growth (or decay) increment of small perturbations. It was shown that, under certain conditions, depending on the values of the parameters of the system, flux jumps of the magnetic flux is observed.
La lengua de las Babiloníacas de Jámblico: aspectos fonéticos y morfológicos
Authors: Amado Román Carlos
Published: May 2022

La novela fragmentaria Babiloníacas, escrita por Jámblico a finales del siglo II d.C. y de la que se conserva un largo epítome de Focio en el códice 94 de su Biblioteca, más un cierto número de fragmentos literales, aún no ha sido estudiada desde un punto de vista lingüístico. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo subsanar, en la medida de lo posible, esa laguna a través de la descripción y caracterización de la lengua de Jámblico, al menos en lo tocante al plano fonético y morfológico. A partir de un estudio pormenorizado de las principales características de ambos planos, puede concluirse que Jámblico hace uso de una prose grecque classicisante, mezclando así rasgos propios del ático con otros pertenecientes a la koiné.
CONSTITUIREA NUMELOR DE FAMILIE DE LA PRENUME MASCULINE

"The denominative formula first name + last name was made official only at the end of the 19th century. Previously, for the identification and individualization of people, the denomination with unique name was used, based on a baptismal name. When the unique name failed to fulfill its identifying role, a complementary name was added, used occasionally at first. The reconfiguration of the anthroponymic formula developed a typology of nicknames: various qualifiers (nicknames) that indicated personal descent, local descent, ethnicity, occupation, etc. Many surnames with personal descendants originate from male first names that are presented today as primary or derived family names."

Published: May 2022

O uso de condicionadores de solo tem sido cada vez mais frequente nas lavouras com culturas de grãos pelos produtores no Alto Vale do Itajaí, SC. Neste aspecto, este estudo objetivou avaliar atributos químicos e físicos do solo e rendimento de grãos da soja (Glycine max) e milho (Zea mays) após a aplicação de doses de condicionador de solo em lavoura de plantio direto consolidado. O experimento foi conduzido em uma propriedade rural no munícipio de Agronômica, SC, em duas áreas experimentais, uma cultivada com milho e outra com soja na safra de verão 2017/2018, ambas em sistema de plantio direto consolidado. O delineamento foi em blocos casualizados com três repetições. Os tratamentos avaliados foram a aplicação das doses de 0 (testemunha), 10, 20 e 40 litros por hectare do condicionador de solo à base de Lignita, aplicadas sobre a palhada de ervilhaca e aveia antes da semeadura da soja e do milho. Avaliaram-se os teores de K trocável, de matéria orgânica, CTCpH 7,0, pH em água na camada de 0-5cm de profundidade, a macro, micro e porosidade total e a densidade do solo nas camadas 0-5, 5-10, 10-15 e 15-20cm. Também se avaliou o rendimento de grãos do milho e da soja. Conclui-se que a aplicação de condicionador de solo não melhora os atributos químicos e físicos do solo, e não tem efeito sobre o rendimento de grãos de milho e soja nas doses avaliadas.

Published: May 2022

A possível ocorrência de Thekopsora minima causando ferrugem em mirtilileiro foi observada em três pomares em Santa Catarina. Observações morfológicas e moleculares, bem como teste de patogenicidade, foram consistentes em mostrar que T. minima é o agente causal da ferrugem nos pomares de mirtilo. Diante da confirmação de T. minima no mirtileiro, fruticultores terão um grande desafio para manejar a ferrugem nos pomares catarinenses devido às condições ambientais adequadas à doença e a predominância de cultivares suscetíveis ao patógeno.

o objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar o escurecimento da polpa de maçãs ‘SCS427 Elenise’, ‘Fuji’ e ‘Cripps pink’ após serem cortadas, simulando o preparo de alimento minimamente processado. Foram conduzidos dois experimentos, o primeiro utilizando frutos recém-colhidos e o segundo com frutos armazenados por 75 e 120 dias em atmosfera do ar a 1ºC. Os frutos foram cortados transversalmente na região equatorial e a cor da polpa analisada por sensores colorimétricos digitais, periodicamente, entre 0 até 48 horas após o corte. Maçãs ‘Cripps pink’ apresentaram maior escurecimento da polpa, em ambos os experimentos. A polpa das maçãs ‘SCS427 Elenise’ exibiu escurecimento mais lento até o ponto de escurecimento máximo em ambos os experimentos, o que sugere serem mais apropriados ao processamento mínimo sem o uso de substâncias antioxidantes que maçãs ‘Fuji’ e ‘Cripps pink’.
On Fanaticism and Funding: Obeah Acts in Jamaican Moravian Missionary Communities
Authors: McGeary Stephen A.
Published: May 2022

From the outset of the post-emancipation period in Jamaica, Moravian missionaries were forced to develop new and creative ways to acquire support for their evangelical efforts. Missionaries documented accounts of their interactions to rationalize their presence across the island and secure funds necessary to expand their outreach. During this period, Moravian missionary documents exhibited a stark increase in mentions of Obeah, a multifaceted Afro-Caribbean spiritual practice that held both restorative and destructive potential. Through an analysis of Moravian missionary documents coming out of Jamaica during the post-emancipation period, the author argues that Moravian missionaries portrayed Obeah as the antithesis to Moravian missionary work to justify their presence across Jamaica and, in turn, documented the forced confessions of Obeah practitioners to emphasize the power of their evangelical outreach for Moravian congregants and other potential supporters.
A Moravian Creed from 1731
Authors: Peucker Paul
Published: May 2022

In December 1731, Zinzendorf wrote a creed for the Herrnhut congregation. In a way, the creed can be considered a response to the Augsburg Confession, but it also deals with issues that were of concern to (radical) Pietists of the time. A close reading of the 1731 creed, which has not been published in English before, will reveal that the theology of the Herrnhut community differed from the orthodox Lutheran position in important points. This is all the more significant, as the 1731 creed was written at a time when Zinzendorf was trying to convince the public that the community at Herrnhut adhered to the Augsburg Confession.
