Silver (Ag) doped ZnO (SZO) nanomaterials were synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized. ZnO nanostructures were doped with 0.0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5mol% Ag. These obtained SZO nanomaterials were analyzed using X-ray diffraction measurement (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dissipative X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The structural analysis confirmed the formation of synthesized SZO samples having a hexagonal ZnO wurtzite phase. The morphology of SZO samples changed partially and the ZnO nanorod length increased somewhat as the Ag doping ratio increased. Despite this increase, it was seen that the average crystal sizes first increased and then decreased. The crystallite sizes calculated from XRD data for 0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5mol% SZO were obtained as 41, 42, 38 and 37 nm, respectively. Ag doping concentration has increased the absorbance of SZO nanomaterials increased and the transmission decreased was observed. The band gap of the 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5mol% SZO nanomaterials were measured 3.19, 3.18, 3.16 and 3.19 eV, respectively. Then dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were fabricated using these SZO nanomaterials, Z907dye, N719 dye and examined their photovoltaic performances. The calculated efficiencies of DSSCs fabricated using Z907 dye for 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5mol% SZO were 0.005, 0.51, 0.46 and 0.22%, respectively. Then the calculated efficiencies of DSSCs fabricated using N719 dye for 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5mol% SZO were 0.06, 0.17, 0.07 and 0.06%, respectively. In both works, DSSCs with ZnO film doped with 0.5mol% SZO showed the best photovoltaic performance. Consequently, these results indicated that the synthesized SZO nanomaterial for DSSCs of the optimum ratio of Ag doping is 0.5mol% clearly.

The transmission of parasites is very common in spring and summer not only because of the increase in temperature but also as a sequence of winter confinement in which the holidays encourage interaction between infants. In the Covid-19 era, the problem will exacerbate the situation. The objective of the present work was to specify a model for the study of the problem. A documentary and cross-sectional research was carried out with a selection of sources indexed to international repositories, considering their updating and specialization. The axes, dimensions, trajectories and relationships between the categories and variables that explain and anticipate the phenomenon were established, although it is suggested to extend the discussion towards self-care as an intervention strategy rather than health promotion or risk prevention.

Background: Melasma is a chronic acquired hypermelanosis of the skin and relatively common skin disorder that primarily affects sunlight-exposed areas in women. While etiology of melasma is not yet well understood, a possible factor is thyroid hormones. Few studies have been conducted in order to find the relationship between melasma and thyroid disorders with varying results. This study is conducted to investigate the association between thyroid parameters (triiodothyronine and thyroid stimulating hormone) and melasma severity. Aim:To determine the relationship between triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) serum level into severeity of melasma. Subject and method: Thirty six women with melasma aged >18 years old are included in the study group indoor at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang. Exclusion criteria: pregnancy/lactation, using oral contraception, using hormonal therapy, taking photosensitizer systemic antifungi and anticonvulsant and taking topical/systemic of melasma treatment. History of sun protection usages and MASI score are recorded. Triiodothyronine and TSH level are measured by electrochemiluminescence-immunoasay (ECLIA) method. Result: Mean age of melasma patients in this study: 47.52±8.11 years old. Malar type is more common than centrofacial (61,1%) and we did not find mandibular type. The most common severity of melasma: mild (19 out of 36 people). MASI score: 21.46±10.40. Mean serum level of T3 and TSH: 1.578±0.282nmol/L and 1.773±1.457 μIU/L (p>0,05). Conclusion: Mean serum levels of T3 and TSH hormones are not related to the severeity of melasma. Nevertheless, increasing levels of hormones are in accordance with the increase of melasma’s severeity degree, although it is not statistically significant. Further study could be done by adding hypothyroidism to patients who have melasma and comparing them with control group by using cross-sectional comparative sampling. An equal sample number of each severity degree of melasma would be ideal and then evaluate psychological/stress factors to the subjects

Published: December 2021

Background: Melasma is a common acquired hyperpigmentation of sun-exposed areas. It is highly treatment resistant and with high chances of recurrence. Treatment of melasma using oral tranexamic acid (TA) with antioxidants and glycolic acid is a novel concept. Objective: Aim of the study was to assess efficacy and safety of novel combination therapy for the treatment of resistant melasma. Method: It was a prospective interventional trial conducted on a total of 10 patients with melasma, who did not respond to topical skin lightening therapy. The severity and extent of pigmentation was assessed by modified melasma area severity index (mMASI). Patients were then prescribed oral TA with high dose of vitamin C, Iron & folic acid along with local glycolic acid. The response to treatment was assessed by mMASI and clinical photographs at 8th week and after 3 months on completion. Result: Significant difference between mMASI was observed among the study population. 60% patients showed 100% improvement and 40% showed 75% improvement from the baseline mMASI at 8 weeks after commencing treatment and 100% patients showed 100% improvement on 3 months completion. Conclusion: Based on the study results, oral TA in combination with antioxidants and glycolic acid can be used as a potential new, effective, and safe treatment for resistant melasma

Published: December 2021

In early 2019, retailers had reason to be optimistic. Unemployment was low and while many retailers closed branches, overall, retailing rose. The hospitality and travel industries were at their highest revenue levels in more than 16 years and consumer spending was at a high. Traditional retail formats were no longer working as Omni channel retailing took hold. Very few could have predicted that retail employees would become essential workers as a pandemic hit the world. The retailing industry took a major hit and experts are unsure about a total recovery. In this paper we examine the impact of COVID-19 on retail environments and what the future of retailing may hold

The ectopic pelvic kidney is defined as a kidney placed atypically due to abnormal migration from the fetal pelvis during development embryological. Ectopic kidneys can be more exposed to trauma, since they are in a less protected anatomical position. Today, these anomalies are generally noted as fortuitous discoveries during the initial assessment by ultrasound or computed tomography (CT scan). A post-traumatic renal artery pseudoaneurysm rarely occurs after abdominal trauma blunt. Common symptoms include acute hematuria, abdominal pain, a lump pulsatile in the abdomen or flank, or arterial hypertension. We report the case of a patient with post traumatic renal artery pseudoaneurysm on two fortuitously discovered ectopic pelvic kidneys

Published: December 2021

Objective: To determine risk-group-specific rate of becoming COVID-19-positive among healthcare workers having had contact with COVID-19 cases.
Methods: The retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Ege University Hospital, Bornova, Turkey, and comprised all healthcare workers who had come into contact with COVID-19 cases between March 11 and May 31, 2020. The contacts were classified as low-risk, medium-risk and high-risk using the guidelines of the Turkish Ministry of Health. The outcome measures were the incidence of infection among contacts and the incubation period and serial interval among the new cases. Data was analysed using SPSS 23.
Results: Of the 845 cases, 312(37%) had high risk, 263(31%) medium and 270(32%) low. Overall, there were 490(58%) females, 355(41%) males, 565(67%) aged <40 years, and 277(33%) aged >40 years. Of the total, 27(3.20%) healthcare workers tested COVID-19-positive and distribution among the risk-based groups was significant (p=0.037). There was a significantly increased risk of incidence among repeated contacts, no mask use, and the source being a colleague (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The detection of high-risk contacts was found to be important for controlling COVID-19 infection in a hospital setting.

CORRUPÇÃO DE AGENTES PÚBLICOS
Authors: Jorge de Carvalho Maia Ana Beatriz
Published: December 2021

Resumo:Atualmente, a sociedade vem passando por uma crise existencial, quando se trata de ética e valores, principalmente, quando se refere aos órgãos públicos, onde boa parte do dinheiro público vem sendo desviado, através de práticas sistêmicas de corrupção, deixando de ser aplicado em benefício da população. Nesse sentido o objetivo principal desse artigo é analisar como atua a política criminal no combate à corrupção dos agentes públicos, no Brasil e em Portugal, tendo em vista suas características e seu papel na sociedade. A metodologia utilizada é bibliográfica comparativa/descritiva, sendo possível, por meio desta, abordar como se dá o tema, tanto no Brasil, quanto em Portugal. Os principais resultados demonstraram que há várias diferenças nas legislações entre os dois países, em relação as sanções administrativas ou penais específicas para contratos públicos, pois, enquanto Portugal não traz previsões, no Brasil além de prever penas e regras processuais no que concerne a contratação de bens e serviços pelos órgãos públicos, inclui também os crimes de licitações públicas, podendo considerá-los como crimes de corrupção. Existem diferenças também nas legislações entre Brasil e Portugal no que diz respeito à fiscalização, a evolução patrimonial, que vão, desde a titularidade do patrimônio, até no que que concerne ao período de apresentação/atualização da declaração relacionado aos bens e valores dos agentes públicos. Em se tratando das penas previstas para os casos de corrupção, Portugal é mais rigoroso que o Brasil, tanto nas penas quanto nos prazos prescricionais.
PRINCÍPIOS DO DIREITO AMBIENTAL E A DOUTRINA DA ENCÍCLICA PAPAL LAUDATO SÍ’
Authors: Reis Clóvis
Published: December 2021

As encíclicas papais são documentos que exercem influência na comunidade internacional, pois extrapolam o debate que a Igreja Católica promove internamente a respeito de questões de fé. Um exemplo é a encíclica Laudato Si’ [Louvado sejas, em português] (2015), a chamada Carta Verde, a qual versa sobre meio ambiente e desenvolvimento sustentável, tema que integra a agenda política, econômica e social do mundo contemporâneo. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho analisa a relação entre os princípios do Direito Ambiental e as orientações doutrinárias de Laudato Si’. Os dados são apresentados e discutidos através da técnica de análise de conteúdo, a qual relaciona as características de um texto à fonte produtora da mensagem. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam as contribuições da encíclica para a promoção de um modelo de desenvolvimento comprometido com o meio ambiente e a qualidade de vida.
DISCRIMINAÇÃO BRANCA
Authors: Da Silva Jonas Henrique
Published: December 2021

A transgressão dos direitos humanos das pessoas com albinismo, normalmente ignorada pela sociedade, é um fato. O albinismo, conforme a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), decorre de várias anomalias genéticas do sistema de pigmentação melânica, que afetam a pele, folículos pilosos e olhos. É uma rara condição genética, não contagiosa, comum a ambos os sexos, independentemente de etnia, em todo mundo. As pessoas albinas enfrentam, além dos problemas de saúde que lhes são peculiares, muitos outros, como os estereótipos negativos criados pelo cinema com as pessoas albinas. Representadas de forma negativa, geralmente exercendo papel de vilões, com poderes diabólicos ou paranormais. A Associação Nacional para o Albinismo e Hipopigmentação (NOAH) - organização norte-americana defensora da causa - catalogou 68 (sessenta e oito) produções cinematográficas, desde 1960, contendo personagens albinos, e destes, analisou-se 10 (dez), visando avaliar a conduta do cinema ante pessoas albinas. O atual trabalho resultou de um estudo bibliográfico de autores que que tratam desta temática. Buscou-se, também, em conteúdo de sites da internet, de organizações ligadas à causa, como NOAH, OMS, Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU), blog do Albino Incoerente, relatos orais de brasileiros albinos. Os resultados mostraram que existem muitos aspectos que requerem reflexão e estudos aprofundados, haja vista o grave problema que vai além do preconceito e da discriminação albina no cinema. É necessário pensar o albinismo sob as visões antropológica, sociológica e jurídica, para se compreender o processo de (in)visibilidade, preconceito e discriminação das pessoas com albinismo na sociedade atual.

The Socio-religious Construction: The Religious Tolerance among Salafi Muslim and Christian in Metro
Authors: Setyawan Dharma , Nugroho Dwi
Published: December 2021

Salafi Islamic community has been negatively constructed as puritan, extreme, and exclusive group separated itself from the social space. This justification precludes possibility that Salafi groups can synergize with surrounding socio-religious conditions. This article reveals the socio-religious life among Salafi community of Ma’had Ittiba’us Salaf in Purwoasri Village, Metro City to maintain the Islamic Salafi concept and expanding network of its followers. The research methodology is qualitative using observation, interviews, and documentation studies to expose the Salafi movement. This study shows that the presence of Salafi in Purwosari can build good relations with other religious communities, both Muslims and non-Muslims (Chrisrtian). The synergy between Salafi Muslims and Christians in building a strong social construction in maintaining the peace values is facilitated by the FPKM organization. This study concludes that Salafi da’wah is not entirely around the radical activities and leads to violence. Salafis in Metro City use a lot of social networks, technology facilities, and local organizations to preach, be economically, and socially.

Keywords: salafi, socio-religious construction, religious relation, tolerance

 

Pandangan masyarakat tentang komunitas Islam Salafi telah terkonstruksi negatif sebagai kelompok puritan, ekstrim, dan ekslusif yang memisahkan dari lingkungan sosial. Justifikasi tersebut menutup kemungkinan Salafi dapat bersinergi dengan keberagaman sosial-keagamaan sekitarnya. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap realitas kehidupan sosial-keagamaan komunitas Salafi Ma’had Ittiba’us Salaf di Kelurahan Purwoasri Kota Metro dalam mempertahankan konsep Islam Salafi dan memperluas jaringan pengikutnya. Metodologi penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan menggunakan data observasi, interview, dan studi dokumentasi untuk menjelaskan gerakan Salafi. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa keberadaan Salafi di Purwoasri mampu membangun hubungan baik dengan komunitas kegamaan lainnya, baik Muslim maupun non-Muslim (Kristen). Sinergisitas antara Salafi dan Kristen dalam membangun konstruksi sosial yang kuat dalam menjaga nilai-nilai perdamaian difasilitasi dengan adanya Paguyuban FPKM. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa ternyata dakwah Salafi tidak secara keseluruhan terkonsentrasi dengan aktivitas radikal dan mengarah kepada kekerasan. Salafi di Kota Metro banyak menggunakan jaringan sosial, fasilitas teknologi, dan bergabung dalam Paguyuban untuk berdakwah, berekonomi, dan bersosial. Artikel ini masih terbatas pada skala penelitian di kota Metro, sehingga masih sangat mungkin untuk dilengkapi oleh kajian pada tempat lain dengan skala dan pendekatan yang berbeda.

In search of preservation strategies for the historic cultural landscape of Karabağlar Yaylası in Muğla
Authors: Koca Feray
Published: December 2021

Historic cultural landscapes consist of pattern of layers reflecting mutual interaction of the local people with the land through time. They have material and immaterial traces of collective practices of the initial inhabitants and a local culture. Traditional determinist approach has a tendency to split material and immaterial, natural and cultural values and evaluate them separately. However, the concept of cultural landscape has been arisen as a criticism against this duality and distinction and thereafter landscapes started to be regarded as cultural representations that are shaped by both natural and cultural values. This article explores the historic cultural landscape of Karabağlar Yaylası in a rural-urban continuum in search of preservation strategies regarding changing relations with modernization and urbanization. Karabağlar Yaylası is a semi-urban and semi-rural settlement close to Muğla city centre. The seasonal migration and socio-economical interdependency have been two significant facts that sustain the settlement. However, the historic cultural landscape of Karabağlar is under threat of urban sprawl and increasing development pressures with urbanization. Modernization tools and implementations have fragmented and transformed the distinct socio-spatial pattern of Karabağlar and destroyed its character defining features over the last five decades. In order to reveal socio-spatial transformations in Karabağlar, a survey analysis was conducted. Two similar face-to-face questionnaires carried out in 2006 and 2020 are evaluated comparatively. The questionnaires have been structured over how the inhabitants of Karabağlar perceive the space, how they develop land use and the symbolic meaning they attribute to the space. Findings related to field research and the empirical results of the questionnaires are evaluated holistically and changing social, economic and environmental relations are elaborated. To combat with the problems arising due to socio-spatial transformations, the article proposes some preservation strategies that care cultural values as far as natural values, perception of residents, collective memory, sense of community and their interaction with the land. This study has a potential to set up a research agenda in terms of preservation strategies for similar geographical settings.
Association between home layout connectivity and cognitive ability in community dwelling older adults: Implication for occupational therapy

Physical environment has long been recognized within occupational therapy as a key factor contributing to residents’ functional abilities. However, the specific aspects of the physical environment that matter and the extent to which they do so remain less understood. This paper reports a quantitative study of the relationship between a characteristic of the physical home environment—the degree of interconnectedness of its rooms—and the cognitive ability of adults. Working with demographic, health, and home layout data collected from a sample of community-dwelling older adults in Atlanta, Georgia (N=72, Mage=69.5), we found that the cognitive functioning determined by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score was significantly associated with the average connectivity and mean depth of the homes while controlling participants’ age and education. Regression analysis suggested home connectivity independently explained a little more than 4% of the variance in the MoCA scores. The results further revealed that the relationship may be better modeled using non-linear models, and that the increase in the numbers of circulation rings as average room connectivity rises may be partly, but not entirely, responsible for its association with cognitive ability. The study points to directions for further work, including causal modeling, based on recommendations that could be developed for homes to support older adults’ abilities to continue to reside in their own homes as they grow older.
Transformation of urban form in Shkodër during the Ottoman period
Authors: Shpuza Ermal
Published: December 2021

Urban form in Shkodër is studied according to six stages during the period 1479-1913, which are reconstructed based on historical descriptions, maps, photographs, and the spatial interpretation of the Venetian cadastral registry in 1416. Like other Ottoman cities in the Balkans, the old quarters in Shkodër evolved by preserving the original medieval street network, while the new part of the city grew by expanding suburbs with dendritic street patterns and large plots along existing intercity arterial roads. The unique location of the city confined by hilly ranges and surrounded by three rivers and a lake produced a distinctive urban form due to the position of the external bazaar and the crisscrossing of arterial roads. The comparative space syntax analysis of the street network for each stage reveals a gradual transformation in the spatial structure of the city broken by two stark changes: during the early Ottoman period when the bazaar became distinctively more central in comparison to the living quarters, and after the opening of new boulevards during the late Ottoman period when the new urban center that emerged in the new city drew the spatial integration away from the historical bazaar.

Purpose: The menstrual cycle has been reported to influence many other physiological processes in women. This study ascertained the effect of menstruation on oculovisual status with emphasis on tear production among young female undergraduates of Madonna University, Elele Campus Rivers State Nigeria.  

Methodology: The study involved 103 female undergraduates with fairly regular menstrual cycle selected through convenience sampling technique. Their age ranged from 16-30 years with a mean age of 20.82 ± 3.205 years and a median age of 20 years. A well-structured interviewer administered questionnaire was used to elicit oculovisual symptoms associated with the menstrual cycle. Schirmer’s test strip was used to measure tear volume at pre-determined intervals of the menstrual flow period. External and internal eye examinations were also carried out using the Pen torch and ophthalmoscope respectively. Data collected were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 and results were expressed using tables and correlation of variables expressed using Dunnett’s multiple comparison test.

Findings: There was a significant increase (p ˂ 0.05) in tear production during the first two days of the flow and a slight decrease during the last two days. Comparison of the right and left eyes showed no statistically significant (p ˃ 0.05) difference. Variation in tear production associated with menstruation with respect to age showed statistically significant (p ˂ 0.05) differences for all age groups except for the right eye of subjects within age group 26–30 years. While 52.4% (n=54 ) of the ladies have no oculovisual complaint, the  most common oculovisual complaint was headache 42.7% (n = 44) followed by blurry vision 2.91 % (n = 3) and excessive tearing 1.94% (n = 2).

Contribution to Knowledge: The study revealed that physiological changes likely resulting from hormonal variation  during the menstrual flow influences tear volume and may cause visual discomfort among women within the reproductive age and recommended the need for tear volume assessment and detailed case history prior to management of complaints associated with dry eye and dispensing of contact lenses for pre and post-menopausal women.

В статье производится анализ эффективности тепловой работы энергоблока проведено на основании тепловых испытаний турбоагрегата К-500-240-2 с целью оценки текущего изменения экономичности оборудования в процессе эксплуатации. Тепловое испытание турбоагрегата включало в себя две серии опытов при режимах: питание турбопитательного насоса от отбора главной турбины и от быстродействующего редукционно-охладительного устройства. Получены зависимости: расхода пара на турбопривод и внутренней мощности турбопривода от расхода питательной воды и давления отработавшего пара в конденсаторе турбопитательного насоса-А от расхода пара на турбопривод. Быстродействующее редукционно-охладительное устройство питательного турбонасоса позволяет подать пар к приводным турбинам питательных насосов и к деаэратору при сбросе нагрузки или при нагрузке ниже 30 %, когда давление пара в отборе на турбонасосы недостаточно. При подключении турбопитательного насоса к четвёртому отбору турбины наблюдается рост расхода пара на турбопривод на 11 % в сравнении с нормативным, причинами чему могут быть снижение внутреннего относительного коэффициента полезного действия, снижение располагаемого теплоперепада, неудовлетворительная работа насоса и повышенное гидравлическое сопротивление сети.
