Acute and chronic cutaneous wounds caused by traumas, surgical interventions and a range of chronic diseases such as, for example, diabetes mellitus or chronic venous insufficiency, are widely distributed among the population all over the world, first of all among the aged patients. The treatment of acute and chronic cutaneous wounds is a current challenge for the medicine, which is not completely solved for the present day. Medicines with regenerative activity used currently have certain disadvantages, of which can be mentioned particularly the difficulties in technology and standardization of the drugs of biological origin. A range of zinc compounds (e.g., oxide, sulfate etc.) are used for a long time for the treatment of various skin diseases. Nevertheless for the present time there are some important aspects of the biological activity of zinc coordination compounds which are still not studied in detail enough, particularly the regenerative activity. In this study we investigated the regenerative activity of zinc salicylate. Zinc salicylate was prepared by reaction of an excess of zinc carbonate with salicylic acid in ethanol. Zinc salicylate activity in vitro on metabolic, proliferative and migration state of fibroblasts was investigated in cell culture. It was shown that zinc salicylate stimulates metabolic activity, increases migration state of fibroblasts, contribute to proteins adaptation to damage. Wound healing action of zinc salicylate as an active principal of a polyethyleneglycol-based ointment was studied on the model of linear wound in rats. It was shown high regenerative activity of zinc salicylate vs a standard medicine (“Levomecol”).

This work presents the results of studying the content variability of polysaccharides, flavonoids, luteolin-O-7-glucoside and luteolin in Bur marigold herb for 24 months of storage in whole and cut form in two types of packaging – paper bags and parchment bags, packed in cardboard boxes. It was found that a change in the content by 5% of the initial content of the pharmacological marker recommended by the herbal medicines committee of the European Medical Agency, in Bur marigold herb, was observed for polysaccharides when it was stored in whole form in closed paper bags after 6 months, when it was stored in cut form months in closed parchment bags packed in cardboard boxes – after 9 months; for flavonoids, these periods were respectively 6 months and 3-6 months. In Bur marigold herb stored in whole form for 24 months in closed paper bags, the content of polysaccharides is 79.80-85.58%, flavonoids – 58.24-82.05%, luteolin-O-7-glucoside – 44.54-70.60% of the initial, luteolin – 57.14-61.02% of the value determined after 12 months of storage. In Bur marigold herb stored in cut form for 24 months in closed parchment bags packed in cardboard boxes, the content of polysaccharides is 74.60-85.00%, flavonoids – 55.87-77.98%, luteolin-O-7-glucoside – 51.56-65.08% of the initial, luteolin – 44.99-54.82% of the value determined after 12 months of storage. Thus, the preservation of flavonoids (total and individual components), the type of packaging used for storage, and Bur marigold herb size have a significant effect, these factors do not affect the variability of the polysaccharide content during storage.
Thermal stability of polyurethane coating prepared by using diphenylolpropane
Authors:   Kazan National Research Technological University, Bakirova Indira N.
Published: February 2021

Thermal stability of polyurethane varnish coating prepared by using diphenylolpropane, polyetherpolyol and polyisocyanate with an equimolar ratio of isocyanate and hydroxyl groups was assessed in the air. The polyurethane weight loss thermogram shows three temperature regions: I – (217-275)°С, II – (275-380)°С, and III – above 380°С. For interpreting thermogram of the polyurethane under study the model substances simulating the urethane groups of a polymer were synthesized. The substance containing the urethane group formed by phenolic hydroxyl of diphenylolpropane was shown to demonstrate relatively low thermal stability and gets broken down into isocyanate and bisphenol. Decomposition of the substance containing the urethane group formed by alcoholic hydroxyl occurs at the higher temperature. The data obtained allow interpreting the occurrence of thermal decomposition step I in TGA curve by structural changes in the blocks formed by diphenylolpropane and polyisocyanate being the least stable when exposed to elevated temperatures. The next step can be attributed to decomposition of more thermostable urethane groups formed by functional groups of oligooxypropylenetriol and polyisocyanate. Transition to the step III accompanied by severe sample weight loss due to decomposition of urethane groups is explained by thermal oxidation of oligoether units of polymer. Based on the data obtained the conclusion was made that the presence of urethane groups formed by phenolic hydroxyl of diphenylolpropane in polymer structure results in the decreased thermooxidative decomposition onset temperature of polymer. At the same time, a deceleration of thermooxidative processes due to the stabilizing effect of diphenylolpropane released at the beginning of thermal decomposition of polyurethane is observed in a high-temperature region. The proposed polyurethane coating is inferior to commercial counterparts in thermal decomposition onset temperature but superior to them in the temperature corresponding to a 50% polymer weight loss.
Chemical method of eliminating odors in commercial pig production

Published: February 2021

According to the Federal Waste Classification Catalogue swine manure and slurry are classified as hazardous wastes of class 3. When stored these wastes emit various gases into the atmosphere including greenhouse gases. It is possible to solve this problem by using a chemical approach. For binding pollutants of acidic nature it is proposed to use sodium hypochlorite showing the properties of bases, while for the substances having basic properties it is possible to use sulfuric acid. The distinctive feature of this method is the technology of using the wastes of chemical industry. This paper proposes and justifies the technological scheme of the chemical method for cleaning the air polluted by emissions from industrial pig enterprises. The research was performed under laboratory conditions, taking into account the technological specifics of pig industry. In the course of the study, gravimetric and potentiometric methods were used. The object of the study was native manure obtained from 4-month-old pigs. In the experiment, we used waste sulfuric acid and alkaline solution of sodium hypochlorite produced By "HaloPolymer Kirovo-Chepetsk". The handbook of best available methods in pig industry recommends using low-waste technologies, while it is possible to use waste products from local chemical enterprises for recycling agricultural waste. The technological solution will make it possible to reduce the concentration of odorigenic substances in the air of livestock premises, to eliminate odors from ventilation emissions, to reduce the toxicity of manure effluent and to process toxic fresh pig manure into granular organic fertilizer. The introduction of this scheme into industrial pig farming will dramatically reduce the amount of malodorous animal waste, significantly reduce odor pollution and improve the environmental situation in the areas adjacent to pig farms.

The work is devoted to the study of the sorption properties of hierarchical composite materials with a core-shell structure. The composites contained a core of SiO2 or Fe3O4@SiO2 obtained by sol-gel synthesis, on the surface of which a layered double hydroxide (MgAlFe-LDH) was deposited. The phase composition of the obtained materials was determined, and the textural characteristics and particle morphology were studied. It was found that hierarchical materials had larger surface and demonstrated high sorption capacity towards both cationic and anionic dyes in aqueous solution in comparison with individual systems (SiO2 and MgAlFe-LDH). It was shown that the sorption equilibrium in the system “dye solution – sorbent” for dye methylene blue was achieved faster in comparison with Congo red. The obtained kinetic data were analyzed using chemical kinetic models. The sorption of both Congo red and methylene blue on composite materials was found to be described by a pseudo-second order kinetic equation. Isotherms of sorption of Congo red and methylene blue on synthesized materials were plotted. The sorption capacity of Fe3O4@SiO2@LDH and SiO2@LDH towards Congo red were 0.19 mmol/g and 0.27 mmol/g, respectively. In the case of sorption of methylene blue, the sorption isotherms did not reach a plateau in the studied concentration range. However, it can be noted that at an initial methylene blue concentration of 0.051 mmol/L the sorption capacity of Fe3O4@SiO2@LDH and SiO2@LDH were 0.040 mmol/g and 0.033 mmol/g, respectively. The obtained data indicate that hierarchical composite materials containing LDH in their composition are effective bifunctional sorbents and can uptake both anionic and cationic forms of pollutants from a solution. An advantage of the Fe3O4 core system is its ability to be easily separate from a solution under the influence of an external magnetic field. It is important that the Fe3O4@SiO2@LDH sample exhibits a typical superparamagnetic behavior with zero coercitivity and residual magnetic induction.

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of the addition of calcium bentonite (CaB) supplementation on growth performance, hygienic con-ditions of livestock buildings, dropping characteristics and health of broiler chicks. One hundred and fifty 1 day-old male Hubbard ISA broilers were allo-cated to 3 groups, reared for 50 days, designated as follows: soy-corn based diet without addition of bentonite (control), 2% CaB and 5% CaB. At 50th day, body weight was about 13% (P<0.05) higher in broilers groups feeding bentonite than in the control group. The CaB 5% diet decreased significantly (P<0.05) the moisture proportion of dropping characteristics. Thereby, the results of microbiological analysis (total germs, yeast and mould, total coliform, fecal coliform, Staphylococcus aureus, fecal streptococci) showed that the microbial load is reduced in the groups receiving bentonite compared to the control group. The HDL cholesterol was higher 0.64 g/l (P<0.05) in the groups receiving bentonite compared with the LDL cholesterol which was higher in the control group. Erythrocytes, leucocytes and thrombocytes cell count, and hematocrit percentage were significantly (P<0.05) lower in CaB2% group of broilers, but these levels increased (P<0.05) in CaB5% group. Microscopic observations made on histological sections of groups CaB2% and CaB5% show more scar tissue in the foci of lymphoid necrosis in the Fabricius bursa than the control group. The results from this experiment suggest that the addition of calcium bentonite in broiler diets has the beneficial effects by improving the hygienic conditions of livestock buildings and the health of animals.
Effects of temperature, water stress and saline stress on seeds germination of Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) Masters in SaÃ¯da, Algeria
Authors: Zohra Ghazouani Fatima , Mohamed Terras , Mohammed Djebbouri
Published: February 2021

Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) Masters is a coniferous tree, endemic to North Africa and considered as an endangered species in Algeria despite having ecological, socio-economic and environmental interests. Ecologists and foresters today insist on the eminent place that this forest essence plays in the structuring of the vegetal landscapes of the Maghreb, but also on its forest and economic value (Terras et al., 2008). The objective of this work is mainly to define the main saline and water concentrations promoting the multiplication and the regeneration of this essence since the process of its degradation is gradually accentuated. The effect of incubation temperature and the impact of saline and water stresses on seed germination were studied. The salinity treatments used were 0, 25, 50,100, 150 mm/L of NaCl, while water deficits of 0, -0.5, -1, -1.5, -2 and -3 Bars were induced using PEG-6000. The maximum germination percentage (85%) was obtained under control condi-tions. A negative correlation was obtained between NaCl concentration and seed germination, while at the concentration of 150 mm/L germination was 5%, suggesting that T. articulata is moderately salt tolerant at the germina-tion stage. The results of water stress impact test indicate that T. articulata seeds are quite tolerant to water stress, with a germination capacity of 40% when the seeds are exposed to a PEG solution of -2 Bars, this is a rather remarkable low value compared to other Mediterranean tree species from arid and semi-arid areas.
God in Jewish and Fante Religious Thought
Authors: Korsah Leo Andoh , Tsibu Maxwell Kojo
Published: February 2021

This paper focuses on the Jewish concept of God from the Hebrew Bible and also God in the thoughts of the Fante from Oguaa (Cape Coast). The methodological approaches adopted for the study were phenomenology and the narrative method. Instruments used in the collection of data were observation and semi-structured interviews using the purposive sampling technique. The paper deals with the question of the existence of God, names, and the nature of God from both Jewish and Fante thoughts. Questions about the existence of God are taken for granted in the Hebrew Bible: it is a foundational knowledge embedded in their very consciousness and praxis. The same established understanding is found among the Fante from Oguaa, as expressed in the popular maxim: Obi nkyerε abɔfra Nyame, literally meaning, ‘no one shows the child God’. The study contends that the Jewish concept of God in the Hebrew Bible is not much different from God in the life and thought of the people of Oguaa. The paper also brings out some shared similarities and differences between the Jewish and Fante in their conceptions about God. The sharp dichotomy between these two sets of religious groups is that among the Jewish people, there is a consistent emphasis on the oneness of YHWH and exclusive devotion unto him as attested to in the Hebrew Bible whereas in the Fante thought, devotion to the Supreme God is diffused with that of other transcendental beings such as gods and ancestors.

We report a new free-floating planet (FFP) candidate, KMT-2017-BLG-2820, with Einstein radius θ
E ≃ 6 μas, lens-source relative proper motion μ
rel ≃ 8 mas yr−1, and Einstein timescale t
E = 6.5 hr. It is the third FFP candidate found in an ongoing study of giant-source finite-source point-lens (FSPL) events in the KMTNet database and the sixth FSPL FFP candidate overall. We find no significant evidence for a host. Based on their timescale distributions and detection rates, we argue that five of these six FSPL FFP candidates are drawn from the same population as the six point-source point-lens (PSPL) FFP candidates found by Mróz et al. in the OGLE-IV database. The θ
E distribution of the FSPL FFPs implies that they are either sub-Jovian planets in the bulge or super-Earths in the disk. However, the apparent “Einstein desert” (10 ≲ θ
E/μas ≲ 30) would argue for the latter. Whether each of the 12 (six FSPL and six PSPL) FFP candidates is truly an FFP or simply a very wide-separation planet can be determined at first adaptive optics (AO) light on 30 m telescopes, and earlier for some. If the latter, a second epoch of AO observations could measure the projected planet–host separation with a precision of

We have used the Habitable Zone Planet Finder (HPF) to gather high-resolution, high signal-to-noise near-infrared spectra of 13 field red horizontal branch (RHB) stars, one open cluster giant, and one very metal-poor halo red giant. The HPF spectra cover the 0.81–1.28 μm wavelength range of the zyJ bands, partially filling the gap between the optical (0.4–1.0 μm) and infrared (1.5–2.4 μm) spectra already available for the program stars. We derive abundances of 17 species from LTE-based computations involving equivalent widths and spectrum syntheses, and estimate abundance corrections for the species that are most affected by departures from LTE in RHB stars. Generally good agreement is found between HPF-based metallicities and abundance ratios and those from the optical and infrared spectral regions. Light element transitions dominate the HPF spectra of these red giants, and HPF data can be used to derive abundances from species with poor or no representation in optical spectra (e.g., C i, P i, S i, K i). Attention is drawn to the HPF abundances in two field solar-metallicity RHB stars of special interest: one with an extreme carbon isotope ratio, and one with a rare, very large lithium content. The latter star is unique in our sample in exhibiting very strong He i 10830 Å absorption. The abundances of the open cluster giant concur with those derived from other wavelength regions. Detections of C i and S i in HD 122563 are reported, yielding the lowest metallicity determination of [S/Fe] from more than one multiplet.

Elevated interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels have been found positively associated with markers of physical frailty as well as identified as a potential biomarker of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Thus, we explored the levels of plasma IL-6 at baseline in a cohort of older subjects with or without cognitive impairment, which results may have also implications for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) clinical management. This is a retrospective study including a cohort of over 60 years old-age subjects, 72 healthy controls, 95 mild cognitive impairment, and 73 AD were included in the study. Plasma IL-6 was measured in all subjects. The sample population included 240 subjects, mostly women with a mean age of 78.61±6.30 (range: 60-93) years. Age significantly correlated with IL-6 plasma levels (r=0.204, P=0.002) even after controlling by gender. No difference was found in body mass index (BMI), nutritional status (assessed by mini nutritional assessment), and comorbidity indices (cumulative illness rating scaleseverity and comorbidity index) among groups. Instead, IL-6 significantly differed, having patients affected by AD higher levels compared to the other groups. Final linear regression analysis showed that independently of age, gender, BMI, nutritional status, number of clinically relevant concomitant diseases, the diagnosis of AD was associated with higher IL-6 plasma levels. These data indicate that serum IL-6 is more elevated in AD, supporting that IL-6 may have also a potential role in response to COVID-19 in old age subjects with cognitive impairment.

River systems of Canada
Authors:   Canada Surveys and Mapping Branch
Published: February 2021

The map shows the location of rivers, glaciers and the six physiographic regions of Canada. Rivers serve as the natural drainage channels for surface waters. The network formed by river systems receives water from two main sources: runoff and base flow. Runoff is
that part of precipitation which flows toward the river on the ground surface (surface runoff) or within the soil (subsurface runoff or interflow). Evapotranspiration and flow to the groundwater are excluded. To understand the evolution of the pattern of river systems seen on the map it is necessary
to assume that the physical processes which are in evidence today are the same as those which have operated throughout the earth's history. Given this assumption of continuity, it becomes apparent that river evolution may be attributed to a number of factors, including changing climate and
precipitation, tilting of the earth's surface, glaciation and other geologic processes, ground cover, and man's activities. Possibly the most important factor
Annual large river flow

Published: February 2021

The map shows the six major drainage areas in Canada, the major diversions in 1975 and the flow (in cubic metres per second) of rivers whose mean annual flow at the outlet of their river basin exceeds 400 cubic metres per second. The Mackenzie and the St.
Lawrence rivers have the two largest annual flows. The world's largest river, the Amazon, has an average discharge of 212,000 cubic metres per second; more than one-sixth of the world's total river discharge. The Congo, second largest, has an average discharge of 39,600 cubic metres per second, less
than one-fifth the flow of the Amazon. The largest river in North America, the Mississippi, has an average discharge of 17,300 cubic metres per second. Canada's largest, the St. Lawrence, discharges 10,100 cubic metres per second, at Nicolet; her second largest, the Mackenzie, flows into the Arctic
Ocean with a mean annual discharge of 9,910 cubic metres per second. Discharges for the map were estimated at the river mouth or where the river crossed the

Influence of glaciers on streamflow

The map shows the location of glaciers and ice caps and also indicates the rivers and the lakes, which are fed by a glacier (or an ice cap) meltwater. The purpose of this plate is to identify those streams which are fed by glacier meltwaters. Because of the scale
of the map, many minor glaciers have not been shown and, hence, streams fed by such glaciers are not depicted as being glacier fed. The proportion of glacier-derived to non-glacier-derived water decreases as one goes downstream from the glaciers. The map shows many short streams in the Arctic
islands and in the mountains of western Canada which are affected by glacier melt. However, the lower reaches of long glacier-fed streams, such as the Mackenzie and Columbia Rivers, are affected very little by the presence of glaciers within their catchments.The 20th century has witnessed the
shrinking of many glaciers. The release of this water from storage has produced higher discharges from many glacier-fed streams than would be expected from precip

Simple ranula is a cystic swelling confined to the floor of mouth while plunging ranula presents with extension to the neck. Congenital ranula presenting with symptoms of feeding difficulties is a very rare occurrence. There is paucity of literature regarding the management of large congenital ranula. Varied treatment options are described for the management of ranula with variable recurrence rate. In paediatric and adult patients, ranula is considered as a type of extravasation cyst and removal of sublingual gland is advocated to remove the sources of extravasation. Congenital ranula is usually a variant of retention cyst and should be treated with marsupialisation or simple excision of cyst while cyst excision with sublingual sialadenectomy should be reserved for recurrent cases.
Electrorefraction beyond the excitonic resonance in GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well structure in the Franz-Keldysh geometry
Authors: Wichtowski Marek
Published: February 2021

The Kramers-Kronig relations were used to estimate electrorefractivity near the edge of the exciton absorption peak of GaAs/AlGaAs photorefractive quantum well (PMQW) structure working in the Franz-Keldysh geometry. It was shown that for both TE and TM polarizations the change of the refractive index under an applied electric field is at least an order of magnitude greater than in bulk semi-insulating GaAs due to the classical Franz-Keldysh effect.

BuddhistRoadPaper 2.4 “On the the Use of Mudrās in Dunhuang’s Buddhist Rituals During the 9th to 10th Centuries"
Authors: Sørensen Henrik H.
Published: February 2021

This short essay is devoted to a survey and discussion of the Dunhang manuscripts which feature drawings of mudrās, gestures or hand-seals (Chin. shouyin 手印), i.e. ritualised hand gestures employed in Esoteric Buddhist Rituals. There are three known examples of manuscripts featuring such mudrās: the long roll of P. 3905, the manual of P. 3835, and the set of line drawings of OA 1919,0101,0.83*. These three manuscripts form the basis of the present discourse, including an identification of the textual sources for these sets of mudrās and a discussion of the use of mudrās more generally in the Esoteric Buddhist context of Dunhuang during the 9th to 10th centuries.
Research Paradigms and Meaning Making: A Primer
Authors: Krauss Steven
Published: February 2021

An introduction and explanation of the epistemological differences of quantitative and qualitative research paradigms is first provided, followed by an overview of the realist philosophical paradigm, which attempts to accommodate the two. From this foundational discussion, the paper then introduces the concept of meaning ma king in research methods and looks at how meaning is generated from qualitative data analysis specifically. Finally, some examples from the literature of how meaning can be constructed and organized using a qualitative data analysis approach are provided. The paper aims to provide an introduction to research methodologies, coupled with a discussion on how meaning making actually occurs through qualitative data analysis.
“Hay Sacks Anonymous”: Living in the Shadow of the Unidentified. Psychological Aspect s of Physical Inactivity from a Phenomenological Perspective
Authors: Bergman Anni , Norlander Torsten
Published: February 2021

The present qualitative study emanates from a phenomenological perspective and has the purpose of creating an understanding for what a so-called “hay sack” is as well as understanding the experiences of a hay sack. In this context a hay sack refers to a person with low physical activity. Eight hay sacks between 36-58 years of age were interviewed about their experiences. Karlsson’s (1995) EPP-method was used. The analysis resulted in 13 categories. A hay sack wants to, but is unable to engage in regular physical activity as a consequence of something unidentified, possibly a psychological barrier. Being a hay sack involves thoughts and feelings which are expressed in a variety of ways such as excuses and anxiety about future health.

Published: February 2021

Vitiligo is a chronic skin disease, which through change of appearance and body image, exerts a devastating effect on people, especially women. The objective of this study is to explore lived experience of women with Vitiligo by the hermeneutic phenomenology method. The purposive sample consisted of 16 Iranian women. Data analysis followed Diekelmann, Allen, and Tanner (1989). The results showed four main themes: (1) Perceiving myself in a different light; (2) Vitiligo: Worry about others’ perceptions; (3) Vitiligo, Being influenced by cultural beliefs; and (4) Accepting and fighting the disease; Variations in experiences of living with Vitiligo. The women affected with Vitiligo during their marriage-ready years face various psychosocial problems such as rejection by associates, isolation, divorce, and forced choice of a single life.
Community Research Mythology
Authors: Walden Barabara
Published: February 2021

This article is dedicated to an in-depth discussion of the theme “community” and the implications the multiple meanings of community hold for the field of qualitative research. This theme surfaced from Waldern’s 2003 study entitled Resistance to Research in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, which dealt with participant resistance to joining research efforts, and deserves the attention of all social researchers. In this article, the politics of the rese arch process are discussed to evaluate and suggest improvements for reflexive methods of inquiry. Determining that the idea of “community research ” is a myth, this work is concerned about making qualitative methods more sensitive to social inequality without compromising their rigour.
A Necessary Evil: The Experiences of Managers Implementing Downsizing Programmes
Authors: Noronha Ernesto , D'Cruz Premilla
Published: February 2021

This paper presents the findings of a phenomenological study, which describes the experiences of human resource (HR) managers implementing a downsizing programme in a steel manufacturing organisation in India. Data were collected through conversational interviews. Following van Manens sententious analytic approach, the core theme of a necessary evil, emerged, which indicates that while participants were pained by their task of having to terminate workers and deprive them of their livelihood, they believed that they had no choice in the matter if they had to ensure the competitive position of the organisation and their own survival as employees. The findings of the inquiry provide insights into a virtually unstudied area and raise questions about the role of HR managers in contemporary organisations.

How Qualitative Research Changed Me: A Narrative of Personal Growth
Authors: Feuer Avital
Published: February 2021

This piece recounts personal changes I underwent while collecting data for my dissertation. Stemming from my own personal experiences of anomie and feelings of not belonging to the languages and cultures of either Canada or Israel , this inquiry examined the collusion of my attitudes with the attitudes of advanced Hebrew learners of diverse backgrounds and beliefs in a Canadian undergraduate university class. As the themes of claims and ownership of the Hebrew language emerged between clashing sub-groups in the classroom, I examined my own biases and stereotypes regarding language, and ultimately grew into a peaceful acceptance of my position between languages and cultures.
