Authors: Souza Fábio Araujo de
Published: November 2022

This article presents a research whose objective is to analyze, in the light of the Federal Constitution of 1988 and other legislation, the application of revenues from the minimum percentage of taxes on the maintenance and development of education in municipal networks of the Middle Paraíba region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, in the context of the pandemic of COVID-19, in the financial year of 2020, in which school units were closed due to social isolation adopted as a prophylactic measure to contain the spread of the virus. We collected, systematized and analyzed the reports of accountability of municipal governments and other budgetary, accounting and financial documents available on the websites of the Audit Court of the State of Rio de Janeiro and the transparency portal of the governments. As a result, it was found, among other elements, that in most of the municipal governments analyzed, part of the education resources was applied illegally, for example, with the expenditure of foodstuffs. Furthermore, the presence of various payments for services and acquisition of materials was verified which raise doubts about their effective execution, given the context of social isolation and, therefore, of schools closed for classes during most of the year 2020.

Published: November 2022

The present study discusses the culture of institutionalization of children and adolescents developed in Brazil, based on the questioning of the time of issuance of reception and dismissal guides by the judiciary and the reasons that justified the application of this measure by guardianship council, as revealing aspects of remnants of the doctrine of irregular situation. A total of 144 personal records of children and adolescents attended by an institutional care service in a municipality in the State of Pará were analyzed, from 2009 to 2020, based on descriptive analyzes (frequency, mean and standard deviation) and t test, considering the level of statistical significance at p<0.05. It is concluded, based on the results, that echoes of the culture of institutionalization of children and adolescents are observable in the reasons and justifications presented by guardianship council, almost always validating the poverty-risk binomial and with moralizing and pathologizing discourse of the family's housing conditions, as well as by the difference between the time of issuing the reception and dismissal guides by the judiciary.
Ataques e retrocessos na política de saúde mental, álcool e outras drogas, no período de 2016 a 2021, no Brasil
Authors: Santos Cristiane Medeiros dos , Moraes Carlos Antonio de Souza
Published: November 2022

This article discusses the Policy of Mental Health, Alcohol, and other Drugs in the period from 2016 to 2021, considering a conjuncture of attacks and setbacks linked to a society project characterized by the appropriation of the public fund and the strengthening of the private health market, to serve economic interests. Since 2020, this reality is impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, which, in Brazil, is associated with the virus denialism, the overcrowding and the exhaustion of health services and of the professionals, with direct implications for mental health policy. In general, the results indicate that attacks and setbacks in mental health policy, alcohol, and other drugs have been characterized by the process of strengthening psychiatric hospitals, social organizations and therapeutic communities with religious ties in the provision of mental health services, in a logic of re-institutionalization of services and commodification of life.

Multi-Poverty and Deprivation in Chad: Multidimensional Approach Using the Fuzzy Set Theory
Authors: Demsou Themoi
Published: November 2022

The general objective of this paper is to analyze the configuration of poverty in Chad using a multidimensional approach, while previous work has for the most part favored the monetary or one-dimensional approach. The multidimensional approach adopted is based on the fuzzy-set also called the fuzzy set theory. To achieve this objective, multidimensional poverty indices are calculated by the formulations of membership functions called "totally fuzzy approach (TF)" by Cerioli and Zani. They are broken down according to the Camilo Dagum’s method. The data are the Household Budget and Consumption Surveys in 2003 (ECOSIT2) of 7,008 households and in 2011 (ECOSIT3) of 10,200 households. The results show that the multidimensional poverty index (fuzzy poverty index) is 48.47% in 2003 and increases unlike in 2011 to 58.89% while monetary poverty is 55% in 2003 and 46. 67% in 2011. In Chad, in all areas, poverty persists. The energy dimension is the one where we find more poor people followed in descending order of housing, sanitation and education. We recommend that the public authorities prioritize, within the framework of the fight against poverty, the electrification of all regions because energy contributes more than 90% to the construction of poverty in 2003 and 2011, etc.

Authors: Do Nascimento Rodrigo Nunes
Published: November 2022

O artigo faz uma análise hermenêutica do encontro do Apóstolo Paulo com os filósofos epicureus e estoicos em Atenas. O encontro representa o convívio entre as duas principais escolas de filosofia do período helenístico-romano, o epicurismo e o estoicismo, com a tradição judaico-cristã, da qual Paulo é o maior representante. A ênfase do artigo é no relato de Atos dos Apóstolos com suporte de Diógenes Laércio em suas Vidas e Doutrinas dos Filósofos Ilustres, na Carta a Meneceu de Epicuro e em Flávio Josefo. A intenção é compreender, por meio do relato de Atos, as afinidades e estranhamentos entre o legado helenístico na filosofia, o politeísmo grego e o monoteísmo judaico-cristão.
A PARÁBOLA DE LUCAS 10:25-37: ENTRE O DESCUIDO E O CUIDADO
Authors: Oliveira David Mesquiati de , Schaeffer Rocha Abdruschin
Published: November 2022

O artigo analisa Lucas 10:25-37, texto conhecido como Parábola do Bom Samaritano. Destacam-se as situações de cuidado e de descuido ali expressas, tomando como referência especialmente a perspectiva de Kenneth Bailey. Não é uma exegese tradicional do texto, antes, configura-se como um ensaio crítico e teológico sobre o ensino da parábola. Em um mundo com tendências à demarcação de fronteiras geográficas, étnicas, religiosas e socioeconômicas, a reflexão busca valorizar a condição humana e o cuidado pelo outro como instâncias humanizadoras.

A proibição de amaldiçoar a Deus. Um estudo da formulação jurídica em Ex 22,27a
Authors: Grenzer Matthias , Jesus Kleber Barreto de
Published: November 2022

A formulação jurídica em Ex 22,27a oferece diversas dificuldades para sua compreensão mais exata. De um lado, é preciso entender a carga semântica do verbo que o legislador israelita usa para apresentar a proibição: o que significa "não blasfemar", "não insultar" e/ou "não amaldiçoar"? Do outro, surgem dúvidas a respeito do alvo de eventuais blasfêmias, insultos e/ou maldições; porventura o substantivo hebraico presente na formulação jurídica indica o "Deus" de Israel, todos os "deuses" e/ou "autoridades divinas" que julgam ou governam em nome de Deus? Levando em consideração o contexto literário – o Código da Aliança (Ex 20,22–23,33), o livro do Êxodo, a composição do Pentateuco e os demais escritos pertencentes à Bíblia Hebraica –, cultiva-se a expectativa de que estudos comparativos possam contribuir com a compreensão de Ex 22,27a.

ORÍGENES: ESPERANÇA ESCATOLÓGICA ONTEM E HOJE
Authors: Redua Ashbell
Published: November 2022

A compreensão da teologia na atualidade requer conhecimento da história da igreja, a formação de seus dogmas e a defesa da fé. Portanto ao estudar Orígenes, podemos entender a esperança escatologia hoje, muito mística que   mostra as mesmas influências neoplatônicas  apontadas no dualismo grego. É uma escatologia puramente espiritualista segundo a qual todos os intelectos retornarão a seu estado original de harmonia e comunhão com Deus. É evidente que com isto estamos longe de pensar que no seu contexto histórico-cultural e político-nacional não tivesse podido ser autenticamente um oásis fremente de provocação teórica e social. Por outro lado, e no que toca ao caso particular de toda a Teologia Patrística, procurámos mostrar que o seu trabalho merece apreciável destaque, pelo carácter brilhante e inusitado de Orígenes, que viveu em um período tão indefinido, pensando além de sua época caracterizada por um paupérrimo contexto da cultura e teologia helênica.
TEOLOGIA PRÁTICA, LINGUAGEM, COMUNICAÇÃO E HOMILÉTICA: A VIVA VOX EVANGELII NA PREGAÇÃO
Authors: Beling Éder
Published: November 2022

Esse artigo parte da compreensão que os discípulos diretos de Jesus tiveram dificuldade em responder quem Jesus era. A partir da pergunta dirigida por ele aos discípulos: “E vós, quem dizeis que Eu sou?” (Mc 8.29; Mt 16.15; Lc 9.20). Por isso, quer-se refletir sobre ideias e conceitos que tomam por base o trabalho desenvolvido pelo pesquisador Mikhail Bakhtin, desde a literatura, a filosofia da linguagem, a linguística e a comunicação e seus desdobramentos nos fenômenos ligados ao discurso, ou seja, ao uso da linguagem a partir dos romances literários. Do ponto de vista teológico quer-se relacionar alguns conceitos bakhtinianos e usá-los na pesquisa sobre a homilética. Abordando a relação entre linguagem, comunicação, teologia prática e homilética e alguns elementos importantes da pesquisa oriunda das concepções bakhtinianas. Isso se dará através de um levantamento bibliográfico sobre a situação da teologia prática e da linguagem a partir do discurso da prédica, enquanto evento comunicativo da Igreja. O que se quer compreender é a relevância dos estudos linguísticos de Bakhtin no âmbito da teologia prática e alguns de seus desdobramentos dentro do campo da homilética. Para, assim, evidenciar e apreender que as diferentes vozes que compõem a sinfonia homilética, transformam a prédica em viva voz e comunicação do Evangelho

Flash flood potential risk zone identification by using GIS-based spatial multi-index model: A case study of Sunamganj District (Wetland), Bangladesh
Authors: Saha Gourab , Kabir Md. Najmul , Khandaker Afrin , Chowdhury Piash
Published: November 2022

Heavy downpours in Meghalaya and Assam regions are causing flash floods in Bangladesh's northeastern Haor region at regular intervals. A high volume of water access to the Surma river through the downstream river network, the Haor region faces heavy damage almost every year. Literature review of past flood scenarios have shown that Sunamganj District directly faces the wrath of flash floods each year and witnesses tremendous damage. The major focus of the study was to assess the risk of flash floods in the greater Sylhet region. A geospatial multi-index model was developed which considered four major indices (hazard, exposure, sensitivity, and resilience) for the risk assessment. This model systematically accounted for various flood risk indicators related to the economic, social, and physical environment of the Sunamganj District. Geostatistical methods were used to calculate the risk from the indicators and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used for composite analysis. The result showed that the high- and very high-risk zones occupied almost 40% (~ 1452.51 Km2), while the very low- and low-risk zones covered about 45% (~ 1554.66 Km2) of the Sunamganj District. Based on the risk rank, Dharampasha upazila had high percentage (~ 60%) which followed by Sulla, Derai, Jamalganj, Daksin Sunamganj, and Tahirpur upazilas respectively. The proposed methods will help the researchers to identify the causes of flash floods and the results will be helpful for policymakers and developers to take steps for flash flood risks reduction.
The origin of maars at the type locality Eifel (Germany): H2O or CO2?
Authors: Schmincke Hans-Ulrich , Sumita Mari , CHAKRABORTY Sumit , Hansteen Thor
Published: November 2022

Maar deposits of the late glacial iconoclastic Pulvermaar at the type locality Eifel (Germany) are interpreted to have been initiated pyroclastically at midcrustal depth. Cognate mafic nodules (amphibole, phlogopite, clinopyroxene, apatite and minor olivine) up to 35 cm in diameter, and accompanying metamorphic nodules, are mantled by melilite nephelinite crusts. Nodules are probably derived from a nearly fully crystallized intrusion (a MUSH zone), and gneiss carapace, respectively. Fluid inclusion barometry of the igneous nodules indicate depths of about 20 km, corresponding to the Conrad discontinuity. Replenishment of CO2-rich melilite nephelinite magma fragmented, abraded and rounded cognate and metamorphic rocks at depth. Rounded nodules were covered by compositionally identical lava rinds up to 3 cm thick that consist of minute sub-mm lava spheres interpreted to have formed by fluidized CO2-rich magma spray. Subround melilite nephelinite lava pellets up to 5 cm in diameter, make up >50 vol % in the bedded upper 8 m upper maar deposit. Tightly welded melilite nephelinite agglutinates in the tephra ring rising above the 70 m-deep funnel-shaped maar crater represent co-eruptive lava fountains. CO2-jetting probably transported the nodule and pellet cargo at 2m/sec (7km/h) to the surface, the igneous cargo becoming strongly enriched in Devonian sandstone and slate clasts during conduit formation. Nearby melilite nephelinite maars (Daun maar cluster) contain similar nodules and pellets. A high CO2-concentration is indicated by the magma composition and by fragments of carbonatite consisting of alkali feldspar intergrown with carbonate in several maar cluster deposits. CO2 is regarded as the dominant factor triggering and sustaining maar-explosions in these Eifel maars, as in silica-undersaturated, ultramafic and carbonatitic volcanic fields elsewhere.

Objective:
To analyze and find risk factors associated with the development of DI using a multicenter case series via TSE.
Materials and methods:
Medical records of patients who underwent TSS for PA resection between 2010-2021 at three different neurosurgical centers by four experienced neurosurgeons were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups (DI Group or Control Group). Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify risk factors associated with postoperative DI. Univariate logistic regression was performed to identify variables of interest, and covariates with a p-value < 0.15 were incorporated into multivariate logistic regression models to identify independently associated risk factors for DI. All statistical tests were conducted using RStudio.
Results:
344 patients were included; 68% were women, the mean age was 46.5 years, and non-functioning adenomas were the most frequent (171, 49.7%). The mean tumor size was 20.3 mm. Covariates associated with postoperative DI were female gender, cavernous sinus invasion (left or bilateral), intraoperative CSF leak, endoscopic surgery, left preoperative visual field involvement, complete tumor resection, Knosp score of 2 and 4, and macroadenomas. Age was associated with a lower OR for postoperative DI. Multivariable model showed female gender (OR 3.34 CI 1.50-7.99, p=0.004) and intraoperative CSF leak (OR 3.25 CI 1.25-8.85, p=0.017) were found to be independently associated with higher OR of developing postoperative DI. Age was not shown to be a protective factor for DI (OR 0.97; CI: 0.94-1.00; p=0.038).
Conclusions:
The independent risk factors for the development of DI were female patients and intraoperative CSF leak.
AUTHENTIC MATERIALS IN FRENCH LANGUAGE LEARNING AS A PRACTICE OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
Authors: Bigun Olga , Yatskiv Nataliia
Published: November 2022

The theoretical aspects of the use of authentic materials in the study of foreign languages are mainly focused on the problem of forming the language and speech competence of the methodological provision of separate components of intercultural students' education. However, the context of intercultural communication actualises the question of the functional filling of authentic educational materials for the implementation of linguocultural and socio-cultural aspects in the study of a foreign language. The purpose of the article is to study the effectiveness of authentic educational materials in the formation of foreign communicative competence, which has a complex structure and acts as interaction and interpenetration of linguistic, sociocultural and communicative competences, the level of formation of which allows a student or a future specialist to effectively implement a foreign language, and, therefore, interlingual, intercultural and interpersonal communication. The study uses a wide range of theoretical methods, including discursive analysis, intercultural studies, pragmatic and sociolinguistics approaches, systematisation of scientific research that studies this issue, as well as a survey method, including observation, conversion analysis and a statistical method during the calculation of results. The effectiveness of authentic materials such as authentic textbooks, written and oral texts from the media, video and audio materials, and the advantages of the IT network in the teaching of the French language have been analysed. It has been found that authentic materials in the teaching of Frenchlanguage promote the implementation of intercultural communication
Interbank liquidity and short-term yields in an emerging market economy – the experience of Hungary in 2016–2020
Authors: Péter Kolozsi Pál , Horváth Gábor , Lentner Csaba
Published: November 2022

Liquidity has an impact on short-term yields, which makes it a key determinant of monetary transmission. The aim of the research was to examine how the increase in the banking system’s liquidity and its distribution within the banking system affects yields. To better understand this relationship, this analysis gives an econometric estimate of the interbank liquidity demand function. The research covers Hungary being a representative of small, open, emerging market economies. The analysis is based on segmented regressions, the study covers the period 2016–2020 regarding overnight interest rates. The slope of the demand function is negative, the coefficients decrease with the increase in excess reserves. The most significant breakpoints of the demand curve are detected around 0.83% and 1.53% of M2 in excess liquidity. There is a correlation between the level of excess reserves and its distribution and concentration. The distribution of liquidity became more balanced along with the increase in excess liquidity. The saturation of the banking system depends on the concentration of liquidity among banks. The results can be useful for other small and open emerging market economies with abundant liquidity, especially in the coming tightening cycle.
The sustainability transparency index of sovereign wealth funds: their asset size, SDG country rankings and cross-region comparison
Authors: Cavagnetto Stefano , Makarenko Inna , Brož Václav , Rivera Lucie , Filatova Hanna
Published: November 2022

Sovereign wealth funds accumulate the largest resources to bridge the financial gap under the Sustainable Development Goals. The basic mechanism for accelerating sustainability progress is the effort of sovereign wealth funds to incorporate environmental, social, governance and ethical criteria and targets of these Goals disclosed in their sustainability reports. This study aims to develop a methodology for assessing the Sustainability Transparency Index in a sample of sovereign wealth funds, as well as to investigate how this transparency is influenced by the size of funds’ assets and sustainability progress with a cross-regional comparison. Five groups of sustainability disclosure metrics, such as the main pillars of novel Sustainability Transparency Index, were tested and analyzed for 91 funds using binary variables and normalization method. Three hypotheses regarding the statistical association of funds’ sustainability transparency index with the size of the funds’ assets, countries’ sustainability progress, and the region of a fund were checked for 87 funds using multiple regression. The overall results of the Sustainability Transparency Index show an insufficient level of funds’ transparency. Sustainability disclosure in 57% of funds surveyed should be fully enhanced in terms of greater sustainability transparency. There is strong evidence of the correlation between the volume of funds’ assets and sustainability transparency as well as the leadership of European funds in a cross-regional comparative study. However, data on the progress of the country’s sustainability and the funds’ Sustainability Transparency Index are limited and can be used as evidence of the insufficient role of fund transparency in promoting sustainability.
How do Gestures Actualize Young Learners’ Affection: Sympathizing George’s Gestures as Depicted in The Slithery Day
Authors: Sumekto Didik Rinan
Published: November 2022

The research targets articulating George’s gestural expressions that contribute to young learners’ affection. Teaching values become the turning point in children’s behavioral learning processes where they can comprehend the values as adaptable as possible towards supportive environments. Data collection was primarily undertaken from George’s The Slithery Day episode linked to the YouTube web. Data analysis was adjustably analyzed through George’s visually gestural expressions that initiated its positive and constructive speech acts accordingly. However, Oliveira’s (2009) directives options use of imperatives, declarative, and interrogatives were attributed to accomplishing the content analysis. The results record that George’s gestural expressions might teach young learners about showing hospitality and helping to each other, setting off innovativeness with the variously tiring endeavors, eagerly willing to know something new as addressing life skills, and respecting someone else creations, as well as performing the capability of conveying, promising, asking, demanding, commanding, requesting, complaining, and announcing that supported the empirical speech acts. These gestural expressions afford the functional, observable, workable, concrete, and empirical positions as if showing the recognizable relationships and the goodness in George’s interactions with others. However, George’s experientially gestural expressions symbolized non-verbal communication agreements to the significance of young learners’ sensitive adaptability in their daily learning and interaction processes.

Published: November 2022

Economic development is basically a series of policy efforts that have the aim of increasing the standard of living of the people, directing income distribution, and expanding employment opportunities. In efforts to develop the economy, employment is still a major issue. This is due to inequality in getting job opportunities. The growth in the number of the workforce with progress in various economic sectors is not balanced. The research aimed to study the effect of gross regional domestic product (GRDP), provincial minimum wage (PMW), and inflation on the open unemployment rate in East Java province. The research used secondary data for the period 2006 - 2017 which consists of the value of GRDP, East Java PMW, East Java province inflation, and East Java province open unemployment rate. By applying regression using panel data regression analysis, the research results show that GRDP and Inflation has a negative and significant effect on the open unemployment rate in East Java. The PMW has a positive and significant effect on the open unemployment rate in East Java Province. Nevertheless, the research highlights effect relation and government policy instruments.
Different tolerance of three typical riparian plants (Cynodon dactylon, Alternanthera philoxeroides, and Acorus calamus) to different depths of waterlogging caused variations in soil nutrient release and microbial diversity
Authors: Wang Zhenlin , Ge Zhengkui , Wang Ying , Wang Qi , Han Xiaoxiao , Li Ming
Published: November 2022

Water-level changes in the water-level fluctuating zone (WLFZ) promoted soil and plants to release nutrients into the water, threatening the water health in the reservoir. Plant restoration in the WLFZ is also an important way to reduce the nutrient release in order to select plants that can effectively reduce the release of soil nutrients under changing water levels. This study conducted a flooding experiment to reveal the difference in the change in soil physico-chemical properties and microbial communities with various plants under different water-level conditions. The flooding experiment began at the end of September 2020 and was planted with three dominant plants common to reservoirs, namely Cynodon dactylon, Alternanthera philoxeroides, and Acorus calamus. Our study found the three common dominant plants along the reservoir, and C. dactylon had a good adsorption capacity for nitrogen and phosphorus when it was flooded with shallow water, decreasing soil nutrients during the drying period. After a wetting–drying cycle, there was an obvious and significant (p <  0.05) divergence among soil microbial community structures between N0 and D1, D2, and D3, respectively. This study could provide sufficient reference information for plant selection and the assessment of nutrient release of WLFZ in restoration work.

Protease Inhibitors (PIs): Candidate Molecules for Crop Protection
Formulations against Necrotrophs
Authors: Nair Aswati R. , Pillai Padmesh , Raj Sharmila
Published: November 2022

Necrotrophic phytopathogens pose a serious challenge to the productivity of several crops
causing seedling damage, pre- and post-emergence damping-off and root rot thus reducing plant
growth and yield. They are known to gain nutrition by secreting a diverse array of hydrolytic enzymes
and thereby causing extensive host plant tissue maceration. Amongst the diverse hydrolases, proteases
play a pivotal role in the necrotrophic mode of nutrients and thereby in determining pathogenic
virulence. Host plants often counteract the necrotrophic proteolysis events by proteins (peptides),
particularly through protease inhibitors (PIs). PIs play an important role in host innate immunity
function by functioning as anti-metabolic proteins inhibiting the activity of phytopathogenic secretory
proteases. Their abundance in plant storage organs explains their anti-nutritional interaction which
stalls pathogenic invasion. PIs, therefore, constitute potential candidates that can be deployed as
effective antimicrobials in agriculture, particularly against necrotrophic soil-borne pathogens. The
present review traces the progress made in the identification of PIs from plants, and their inhibitory
potential against necrotrophic phytopathogens and explores prospects of utilizing these molecules as
effective anti-necrotrophic formulations for disease management.

step and one-pot reaction using 2-naphthol and quinolinium salts with the catalyst, 1‑butyl‑3‑
methylimidazolium hydroxide ([bmim]OH), at room temperature. This protocol's specific advantages
are environmentally benign media, high yield, easy purification and short experimental time.
In silico Identification of Putative Drug Targets in Mycobacterium ulcerans
Virulence Proteins
Authors: Mohinani Taruna , Saxena Aditya , Singh Shoor Vir , Pathak Amita
Published: November 2022

Background:

Buruli ulcer (BU), caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans is a neglected tropical
disease characterized by necrotic skin lesions. Antibiotic therapy and excision of the lesions are the treatments
for this chronic disease. During the management of the disease, the emergence of drug resistance in
these bacilli is a major challenge. Therefore, there is a need to identify new drug targets against this important
pathogen.

Objective:

The study aimed to investigate novel drug targets exploring virulence factors of M. ulcerans by
in silico analysis.

Methods:

Virulence proteins encoded by the chromosome of Mycobacterium ulcerans strain Agy99 were
retrieved and analyzed for their cellular localization, human non-homology and essentiality. Further, proteins
were analyzed for their physio-chemical characterization, drug resistance analysis, protein interaction
analysis, metabolic pathway prediction, and druggability prediction by various databases and online
software to find their suitability as drug targets. The structure of the predicted drug targets was also modeled
and validated. Among three predicted drug targets, MUL_4536 was subjected to molecular docking
with some known inhibitor compounds also. Receptor-ligand complex with the highest binding energy
was selected for molecular dynamic (MD) simulation to determine the structural stability of the complex.

Results:

Three virulence proteins MUL_4536, MUL_3640, and MUL_2329 encoding enzymes iso-citrate
lyase, lysine-N-oxygenase, pup-protein ligase, respectively were predicted as a drug target against M.
ulcerans. Isocitrate lyase has been identified as a potential drug target in many other mycobacterial and
non-mycobacterial diseases. Lysine-N-oxygenase is the enzyme of mycobactin biosynthesis pathway and
pup-protein ligase is associated with the pup-proteasome system. Proteins of these pathways have been
studied as attractive drug targets in previous research works, which further support our predictions.

Conclusion:

Our computational analysis predicted new drug targets, which could be used to design drugs
against M. ulcerans. However, these predicted proteins require further experimental validation for their
potential use as drug targets.
Adsorption of Chromium (VI) from Aqueous Solution Using Nano TiO2
Doped Strong Base Anion Exchange Resin
Authors: Koujalagi Prasanna S. , Revankar Harish N. , Gurjar Vijayendra R. , Kulkarni Raviraj M.
Published: November 2022

Background:

The evolution of environmentally-safe methods for treating hazardous chemicals
in wastewater, particularly urban and industrial wastewater, has increased interest over recent
years. The chromium-containing wastewater is produced by industries from steel, metallurgical, electroplating,
chemical, refractory, leather tanning, dye manufacturing, mining, cementing, textiles, etc.
Consequently, advanced techniques are essential for treating chromium-polluted water.

Objective:

The prime objective of this effort was to assess the adsorption performance of nanoTiO2
(nanoparticles of average crystallite size 19.15 nm) doped strong base anion exchange resin (TDTulsion)
for Cr(VI)to that of the host Tulsion A-62 (MP).

Methods:

The tests were carried out in batches in the temperature-controlled water bath shaking unit,
with 30 ml of the aqueous solution containing Cr(VI) and a certain amount of resin being stirred for 6
hours at 303 K. Using a standard diphenylcarbazide (DPC) procedure at 540 nm, the solution was
spectrophotometrically analyzed for Cr(VI).

Results:

The majority of the Cr(VI) ions are adsorbed by the anion exchange resins Tulsion A-
62(MP), and TD-Tulsion is in the pH range of 4.0 to 5.0. The maximal sorption capacity of Cr (VI)
was established to be 181.5 and 204.8 mg/g for Tulsion A-62(MP) and TD-Tulsion, respectively.

Conclusion:

The TD-Tulsion has a substantially better adsorption capacity than Tulsion A-62(MP) under
similar conditions. The outcomes show that modifying anion-exchange resin with nano titanium dioxide
improves adsorption performance in Cr(VI) removal from drinking water and contaminated water.

Natural therapeutic microorganisms provide a potent alternative healthcare
treatment nowadays, with the potential to prevent several human diseases. These
health-boosting living organisms, probiotics mostly belong to Gram-positive bacteria
such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus, Saccharomyces, Bacillus and
Enterococcus. Initiated almost a century ago, the probiotic application has come a long
way. The present review is focused on the potential therapeutic role of probiotics in
ameliorating multiple infections, such as upper respiratory tract infections and viral respiratory
infections, including COVID-19; liver diseases and hepatic encephalopathy;
neurological and psychiatric disorders; autoimmune diseases, particularly rheumatoid
arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and multiple sclerosis. Apart from these, the
therapeutic exacerbations of probiotics in urinary tract infections have been extremely
promising, and several approaches are reviewed and presented here. We also present upcoming
and new thrust areas where probiotic therapeutic interventions are showing
promising results, like faecal microbial transplant and vaginal microbial transplant.

Oils
Authors: Mohammed Nameer Khairullah , Badrol Hisam Nurul Afikah , Meor Hussin Anis Shobirin
Published: November 2022

Background:

One of the significant problems with peanut butter is oil separation
when the product is opened after some time. The selection of vegetable oil, which acts as a stabiliser,
plays a significant role in nut butter's textural and sensory quality.

Objective:

This study aimed to optimise the formulation of cashew nut butter using response surface
methodology (RSM). Four different vegetable oils, namely olive oil, virgin coconut oil,
soybean oil and palm oil, were used to select efficient vegetable oil based on its effect on the
physicochemical characteristics and sensory evaluation of cashew nut butter.

Methods:

Thirteen formulations of cashew nut butter from RSM were produced to determine the
optimum amount of selected oil (olive oil) and honey.

Results:

Cashew nut butter stabilised with olive oil showed the best and similar values to commercial
peanut butter with the lowest oil separation 3.91% and lower values of texture data of
firmness (85.8 g), shear work (87.8 g.sec), stickiness (-27.44 g) and work of adhesion (-36.07
g.sec). The recommended volumes of olive oil and honey for cashew nut butter production were
1.29% and 6.16%, respectively. Consumers favor cashew nut butter, according to sensory analysis'
overall acceptance. In terms of nutritional quality, cashew nut butter contains a high amount
of fat (47.25%), followed by carbohydrates (24.51%) and protein (16.4%).

Conclusion:

The type of oil showed significant effects on the stability and spreadability of the
produced cashew nut butter.
Passive Detection Method Based on Angle Measurement
Authors: Yu Tao
Published: November 2022

This chapter first studies the relationship between angle measurement
and phase difference measurement. On the one hand, this helps to understand the
physical properties, and on the other hand, it helps to simplify the process of error
analysis. Then, two kinds of direction-finding methods which can improve the
positioning accuracy are presented. One is a double - station cross – direction-finding algorithm involving higher - order geometric parameters. The other is to
use the algorithm characteristic of adjacent path difference to virtually expand the
baseline length of the detection array, to improve the accuracy of the bi-station
direction-finding system. Whereafter, the passive ranging formula for two
detection platforms with different motion directions is researched. The analytical
formula of target distance based on angle measurement of two carriers is directly
derived in different directions and at different speeds in planar polar coordinate
system. In the end. Several methods of the azimuth-only estimation of the course
of a moving target in a straight line is presented. Its analytical process has nothing
to do with the detection of time, and the analytical formula obtained is purely
related to the azimuth angle.

High-Performance Computing is the aggregate computing application that solves computational problems that are either huge or time-consuming for traditional computers. This technology is used for processing satellite images and analysing massive data sets quickly and efficiently. Parallel processing and distributed computing methods are very important to process satellite images quickly and efficiently. Parallel Computing is a computation type in which multiple processors execute multiple tasks simultaneously to rapidly process data using shared memory. In this, we process satellite image parallel in a single computer. In distributed computing, we use multiple systems to process satellite images quickly. With the help of VMware, we are creating a different operating system (like Linux, windows etc.) as a worker. In this project we are using cluster formation for connecting master and slave: apache spark is one of the important concepts in this project. Apache spark is one of the frameworks and Resilient Distributed Datasets are one of the concepts in the spark, we are using RDD for dividing dataset on the different node of the cluster.
