Authors: Kovalevsky Pavel I.
Published: February 2022

This monograph is devoted to the study of jealousy in its physiological and pathological state. Physiological jealousy is a passion that does not find sufficient resistance and opposition from the will of this person. Pathological passion is mental illness. Pathological passion can manifest itself in the form of insanity, delusions of jealousy, monomony of jealousy in the form of delusions of persecution of automatic impulsivity, pure monosthesia and hyperesthesia of jealousy. The author analyzes jealousy from the point of view of physio-psychological, clinical and forensic.

Authors: Pribadi Firman , Abilawa Aldi
Published: February 2022

Research aims: This research aims to determine whether there is a significant difference in the average abnormal return on the Jakarta Islamic Index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2020 before and after the Eid al-Fitr holiday and find out whether there is a significant difference in the average trading volume activity on the Jakarta Islamic Index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2020 before and after the Eid al-Fitr holiday.Design/Methodology/Approach: By utilizing an event study, the only significant difference was in the Average Trading Volume Activity (ATVA), showing that trading activity before the holiday was higher, and the opposite occurred in the 2020 period.Research findings: The first research result is that investors could not earn any abnormal return on post- and pre-event windows since the differences between post- and pre-average abnormal returns were insignificant. The second result is a significant Eid al-Fitr anomaly through trading volume activity patterns in companies listed on the Jakarta Islamic Index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results also indicate that the capital market in Indonesia is efficient in a semi-strong form of event in the pandemic era.Theoretical contribution/Originality: The anomalies in the market prove that the market is not always efficient, and it defies the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH). These anomalies have addressed non-economic factors, such as religion or culture. As one of the anomalies in the market, this study on holiday had mixed results. In addition, the Jakarta Islamic Index was used since the event studied in this research was the Islamic holiday, and Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world.Practitioner/Policy implication: This study is expected to be a reference material and information for companies about how investors respond to the Ramadan effect.Research limitation/Implication: Regarding the sample, this study was still limited to companies listed in the Jakarta Islamic Index, which only consists of 30 companies, so it is advisable to use companies listed on the Indonesian Sharia Stock Index.
Periostat as a host modulating agent in the downregulation of matrix metalloproteinase {MMP} activity: A review
Authors: Bharadwaj Pooja , Chouhan Alankrita Singh
Published: February 2022

Chronic Periodontitis is defined as the infection and the inflammation of the supporting tissues of the teeth with the progressive loss of attachment. As a result of this inflammation, the immune system gets activated leading to the release of various immunoinflammatory cells which in turn leads to release of cytokines which amplify the immune response leading to the clearance of infection. But if there is a release of cytokines over a longer period of time, it leads to the release of inflammatory mediators and one of such inflammatory mediators, is the matrix metalloproteinase, which leads to degradation of extracellular matrix. Periostat is one of the FDA approval host modulating agent which acts by downregulating the destructive aspect of matrix metalloproteinase and thus upregulate the protective aspect of host response.

Published: February 2022

In recent years, a new optical technology known as in vivo microscopy (IVM) has emerged as a promising and non-invasive diagnostic adjunct. IVM includes high-resolution, microscopic imaging of intact tissue for disease detection without the need of tissue removal. IVM offers the opportunity to carry out a ‘real time’ inspection at a microscopic level during the clinical examination of both soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. It make use of the refracted light emitted after being hit by incident light at a specific wavelength. As it is a non-invasive method it could in bypass all the difficulties and problems related to a biopsy and the subsequent histological examination, which still represents the gold standard for definitive diagnosis.

Published: February 2022

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) or granuloma pyogenicum is a tumor like lesion in the oral cavity primarily seen around gingiva. PG is considered to be a non-neoplastic in nature. It is manifested as a painless sessile or pedunculated, erythematous, exophytic with specific papular or nodular with a smooth or lobulated surface, which may have a fibrinous covering. The lesion usually bleeds easily on a slight provocation. It is a reactive lesion, also classified in pregnancy associated gingival diseases. It occurs due to irritation or physical trauma from calculus or cervical restorations as also some contribution by hormonal factors and usually affects the gingiva. The growth is typically seen on or after the third month of pregnancy and may grow rapidly to acquire a large size, thus, requiring surgical removal.
Algunas razones y elementos para hacer una reforma pensional en Colombia
Authors: Cañón Ortegón Leonardo
Published: February 2022

En Colombia se debe hacer una reforma integral en materia pensional para dar protección a la población mayor, en la cual se  aborden múltiples razones expuestas por diversos sectores de la sociedad y se tengan en cuenta elementos relacionados con la estructura demográfica de la población, la nueva composición del mercado de trabajo y una evaluación del actual Sistema General de Pensiones, a partir de los parámetros establecidos por la Constitución Política de 1991, de manera que se revisen los ajustes que se han hecho al actual sistema, se haga una reflexión profunda sobre el contenido del derecho a las pensiones de invalidez, vejez y de sobrevivencia, sin que se limite al reconocimiento de las mesadas pensionales, dejando de lado las necesidades asistenciales de salud, hospitalización y demás servicios sociales complementarios que requiere la población mayor; los mecanismos establecidos para mantener el poder adquisitivo de las pensiones; se replantee la eficacia de las indemnizaciones sustitutivas y las devoluciones de saldos, frente a la garantía del derecho pensional de las personas; se adopte una política integral de pensiones que pueda ser ejecutada al más alto nivel del Estado y se establezcan mecanismos financieros permanentes que garanticen la sostenibilidad financiera del sistema pensional en Colombia, mediante una metodología que incorpore esquemas de tipo contributivo y distributivo de los recursos para que el Estado pueda garantizar los derecho irrenunciables a la seguridad social y a la protección social en condiciones de igualdad para todos los habitantes.
Pensión esencial en Colombia. Aspectos a tener en cuenta en una futura reforma
Authors: Amador Mauricio
Published: February 2022

El alto porcentaje de personas con edades superiores a los 65 años en Latinoamérica, que no tienen un ingreso asegurado, obliga a pensar en un mecanismo que solucione este problema, pero que a la vez reconozca el esfuerzo que hagan las personas por cotizar durante su etapa productiva. Es por ello que, frente a la posibilidad de que este tema se aborde en una futura reforma, que ojalá sea de protección integral a la vejez y no se limite a una pensional, se plantean los principales elementos que a mi juicio deberían ser tenidos en cuenta en dicha reforma.
A Pilot Single Cell Analysis of the Zebrafish Embryo Cellular Responses to Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Infection
Authors: Rawson Ashley , Saxena Vijay , Gao Hongyu , Hooks Jenaya , Xuei Xiaoling , McGuire Patrick , Hato Takashi , Hains David , Anderson Ryan , Schwaderer Andrew
Published: February 2022

Background: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) infections are common and when they disseminate can be of high morbidity.
Methods: We studied the effects of UPEC infection using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) in zebrafish. Bulk RNA sequencing has historically been used to evaluate gene expression patterns, but scRNAseq allows gene expression to be evaluated at the single cell level and is optimal for evaluating heterogeneity within cell types and rare cell types. Zebrafish cohorts were injected with either saline or UPEC,and scRNAseq and canonical pathway analyses were performed.
Results: Canonical pathway analysis of scRNAseq data provided key information regarding innate immune pathways in the cells determined to be thymus cells, ionocytes, macrophages/monocytes, and pronephros cells. Pathways activated in thymus cells included interleukin 6 (IL-6) signaling and production of reactive oxygen species. Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis was a leading canonical pathway in the pronephros and macrophages. Genes that were downregulated in UPEC vs saline exposed embryos involved the cellular response to the Gram-negative endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and included Forkhead Box O1a (Foxo1a), Tribbles Pseudokinase 3 (Trib3), Arginase 2 (Arg2) and Polo Like Kinase 3 (Plk3).
Conclusions: Because 4-day post fertilization zebrafish embryos only have innate immune systems, the scRNAseq provides insights into pathways and genes that cell types utilize in the bacterial response. Based on our analysis, we have identified genes and pathways that might serve as genetic targets for treatment and further investigation in UPEC infections at the single cell level.
CContemporaneidade, universidade e resistência: o paradoxo da crise
Authors: Nez Egeslaine de , Souza Warley Carlos de
Published: February 2022

Este ensaio teórico analisa o dilema da universidade no que tange a sua modernização, sem perder sua essência de produtora de conhecimento, e, ao mesmo tempo questionar sobre a construção e socialização do mesmo. Para isso, problematiza o processo de produção intelectual em suas relações com os processos mais amplos da sociedade, ou seja, as transformações sociais. A metodologia se constitui numa pesquisa bibliográfica que busca garantir fundamentos para uma discussão sobre o papel da universidade na sociedade contemporânea e oferecer elementos para se pensar uma proposta de resistência ao que ocorre em seu interior. Assim, reflete sobre a existência de crises no interior da universidade, bem como, se ocorre interferência na produção do conhecimento em função dessa crise. Esse esforço teórico-analítico não busca esgotar a discussão sobre o dilema de modernização da universidade e da crise, mas polemizar as temáticas que envolvem diretamente as Instituições de Educação Superior. Esse movimento busca construir respostas e os avanços devem ser ancorados em um campo do conhecimento que discuta dialeticamente o contexto e o processo.

Authors: Gonçalves Talita dos Santos , Sabia Claudia Pereira de Pádua
Published: February 2022

The Youth and Adult Education (YAE) modality was established by the Law of Guidelines and Bases for National Education (LDBEN) in 1996. YAE is intended for people over 18 years of age who have not completed elementary and secondary education and this type of education it is the opportunity for them to continue or start schooling. The objective of the study was to identify how the offer of this modality is organized in the city of Marília between 2009-2019 and to verify its characteristics, its possible advances and/or setbacks. The research had a Scientific Initiation grant from the Foundation for Research Support of the State of São Paulo (FAPESP). The methodology uses a qualitative approach and bibliographic and documentary research. The documentary research consisted of the National Education Plan (PNE 2014-2024) and the Municipal Education Plan (PME 2015-2025) and the Statistical Synopsis of the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (INEP). As a result, we identified a mismatch between the goals established in the PME (2015-2025) and the enrollments carried out in the YAE in the studied municipality, which have been decreasing sharply between 2009-2019. We also verified in the PPP of two surveyed schools, which both bring in their Teaching Plan for YAE, repetitive content and a language aimed at children, constituting an inadequate methodology for the target audience, mostly composed of adults and elderly people above 60 years old, disregarding the life context of its students, their trajectories and experiences, contrary to what Paulo Freire proposes in his method and adult literacy for “reading the word and reading the world”.

Published: February 2022

The main purpose of the study is to define and characterize the system of out-of-school education in modern conditions of development. The urgency of the topic is due to the fact that out-of-school education began to be considered as one that reveals the immediate prospects for personal development in various social and educational institutions, where out-of-school institutions were to become centers of motivational development, self-realization and professional self-determination. The question arose about the place of out-of-school education in the single educational space, determining its relationship with other levels of education, the prospects for the functioning of out-of-school institutions in the market of educational services. Economic and political instability of socio-cultural systems, increasing negative effects of natural factors, the residual principle of financing out-of-school institutions have led to a decrease in their efficiency and decline of educational facilities, which significantly hindered the full use of out-of-school education. According to the results of the analysis, a study of the main aspects of the functioning of out-of-school education in modern conditions of development was conducted

Published: February 2022

The purpose of our study was to assess the proportion of teachers with different work experience in relevant positions in higher education institutions in the total number of university teachers in each of the regions of Russia. In the course of the work, the indicators characterizing the proportion of teachers belonging to five groups by work experience of up to five years, from five to ten years, from ten to fifteen years, from fifteen to twenty years and more than twenty years in the total number of teachers working in higher educational institutions were evaluated. The study used official statistical information for 82 regions of Russia. We used the density functions of the normal distribution as models. The results of the study allowed us to draw conclusions: approximately every fourteenth teacher has worked in a teaching position for less than five years, every ninth teacher has worked in this position for five to ten years, every seventh teacher has worked in this position for ten to fifteen years, every fifth teacher has worked in this position for fifteen to twenty years.  It is proved that the number of teachers with work experience up to twenty years was 52% and was slightly more than the number of teachers with work experience of more than twenty years (48%). The analysis showed the presence of a certain differentiation of the values of the considered indicators by region. The proposed methodological approach and the results obtained have originality and scientific novelty.

Published: February 2022

The purpose of the article is to characterize current status of state control (supervision) in higher education in accordance with the implementation of the regulatory guillotine measures. The results of the research led the authors to the following conclusions. First of all, foreign expertise results in understanding the necessity of lobbying by non-governmental organizations. Otherwise, state regulators will operate precisely in their interests. Secondly, current administrative regulation of higher education is based on an inefficient monitoring system with redundant permissions of the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science (Rosobrnadzor). Thirdly, there is no reason to believe that the implementation the regulatory guillotine model can change the situation efficiently. It is more probable that the reduction of the intensity of control will lead to a net rise of latent offenses for educational institutions’ management. To eliminate these problems, the authors suggest implementing of monitoring system for the activities of higher educational establishment as well as for regulator’s actions with a monetization of these relations.

The pancreas is a mixed exocrine and endocrine gland. Diabetes currently afflicts about 200 million people all over the world, and it is well known that the endocrine component of the pancreas has a direct correlation with the severity, morbidity, and treatment of the disease. Studies conducted in human fetal pancreas are very limited owing to ethical and technical issues. In cases of type I Diabetes mellitus, the knowledge of stepwise histogenesis of the endocrine component would be largely helpful to the surgeons for pancreatic transplant, and planning treatment protocols for pancreatic cancer.Study was performed on 30 aborted fetuses from 12 to 40 weeks, collected from Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Institute, after due permission from institutional research and ethical committee. Pancreatic tissue was processed and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin stains and examined for different components of pancreas correlating with development and distribution of islets.The parenchyma, exocrine and endocrine component of pancreases were observed. There was correlation between histogenesis of pancreas with regard to gestational age, gender, diabetic history of mother, congenital anomalies in fetus and distribution of islets throughout pancreas. Study would be helpful to know about the changes in histological development of fetal pancreas in relation to different gestational age and for planning treatment modalities for Diabetes and pancreatic diseases.

Plants have an important role, especially at this time where people cannot do normal activities due to the Covid situation. Plants can reduce stress caused by this pandemic. Demand for plants, especially landscape plants has increased in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic situation in Denpasar by 80%. However, not all people understand the selection of plants that are appropriate with the conditions of their yard/planting area. The conditions referred to plant ecology, plant habitus, plant characters and functions to be achieved by the user. Therefore, to facilitate the selection of plants based on the conditions, a site-specific database was compiled to be inputted into applications that can be accessed by the general public. The preparation of this database is carried out gradually starting with Badung Regency. The results obtained parameters for landscape plant growth, including land type and topography, land slope level, rainfall and plant water requirements, light needs, land use and landscape plant functions. The types of landscape plants that were processed amounted to 50 species in Petang District and 60 species in South Kuta District. The system design that is made begins with the preparation of data flow designs, data preparation in the form of plant types and plant parameters, data grouping, data implementation and lay-outing, and system testing. The system design uses two ways of searching for data, namely by searching for data based on geographic/location that the user wants to choose and searching for data based on keywords (plant names, plant characters, and plant functions in the landscape).

Squeak and Rattle problems seriously affect the quality of the vehicles. In the adjustment stage of the automobile development process, engineers mainly rely on subjective evaluation to diagnose squeak and rattle noises, which is prone to misjudgment, missed judgment and time-consuming problems. There are gaps in relevant objective evaluation methods. This article proposed that speaker identification is used to identify squeak and rattle noises from the audio recorded in the test, to achieve objective and accurate results. In this paper, four kinds of squeak and rattle noise audios are used as samples, Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient is extracted as feature vector to construct target Gaussian mixture models (GMM). The expectation, variance and correlation coefficient of the Gaussian mixture model can be calculated to describe the difference of multiple squeak and rattle noises. Using samples to judge accuracy rate, the results indicated that the acceptance accuracy rate reaches 100 %, and the rejection accuracy rate reaches more than 95 %.

Six specimens of high strength concrete columns with butt-welded closed composite stirrups were tested under cyclic lateral loads, to study the structural performance (deformation) and hysteretic characteristics of the columns. The influences of the axial compression ratio and the volume-stirrup ratio were considered. According to the regression analysis of the test results, it was determined that the unloading stiffness and strength degradation rate under repeated loading conditions are mainly dependent on the two parameters of the “displacement ductility factor” and “axial compression ratio”. According to the test results, the skeleton curves were determined by the section layer and the statistical regression analysis methods. By considering the influence of axial compression ratio and the volume-stirrup ratio to the hysteretic characteristics of high strength concrete columns confined by butt-welded closed composite stirrups, the shear force-lateral displacement restoring force model was established. The results show that the axial compression ratio has a great influence on the strength degradation of the columns. As the axial compression ratio increases, the strength degradation of the columns occurs faster. On the other hand, the volume-stirrup ratio has a reverse effect on the strength degradation of the columns, with the increase of the volume-stirrup, the strength degradation of the column is observed gradually and slowly. The stiffness degradation of the columns increases as the axial compression ratio increases while the volume-stirrup ratio decreases.

Stimulated by market demand and technological progress, the audio industry is booming. Many high-fidelity earphones are no longer satisfactory with simply providing customers with products but tend to provide customers with more opportunities to adjust their own tuning, one of which is to add the earphones with different acoustic silencer foam. This study begins by introducing the different types of earphones and their development history. After that, the specific research content is raised by questioning the prevailing perception of acoustic silencer foam in earphones. By comparing and analyzing the differences reflected by the frequency response curves of headphones equipped with different types of acoustic silencer foam, it is concluded that the smaller the cells of acoustic silencer foam and the presence of membrane will increase its ability to reduce the loudness at high frequency. This study reveals two significant characteristics which affect the performance of acoustic silencer foam and provides a reliable theoretical basis for the tuning technology of foam.
Research on the heat transfer and internal residual stress of multi-phase systems

The incompatibility of inherent physical properties of the individual constituents often leads to the failures of the whole multi-phase system during the service. We need to investigate the residual stress caused by different inherent properties of the constituents that could finally cause the failure of the whole system and predict the severe time. This paper synthesized a special network-structure composite as the investigated system. The hybrid composites have a honey-comb structure with the high thermal conductivity HfB2 encapsuling the low thermal conductivity B4C. Although the overall thermal conductivity is greatly improved, the different thermal expansivity of the composites can result in a severe residual stress within the composite, which will finally evolve into macroscopy cracks and becomes a threat to the normal operation of the whole system. It is therefore necessary to investigate the magnitude of residual stress and its corresponding distribution. We employed the real-situation modeling and finite element analysis to probe the residual stress caused by the incompatibility of thermal expansivity. This method is effective and has its practical value when applying in relevant industries applications for the prediction and preventing the possible accidents.

With excellent thermal conductivity and unique two-dimensional structure, the graphene heat dissipation film (GHDF) has been a potential photoacoustic (PA) material for multiple applications. In this study, we apply the GHDF into laser ultrasonic detection of seismic physical model (SPM). The PA effect of the GHDF is theoretically analyzed and experimentally demonstrated. The GHDF is physically attached to the upper surface of SPM, and excited effectively by a 532 nm pulsed laser. Distinguishable layered echo signal of SPM verifies the feasibility of the ultrasonic excitation approach using GHDF. This work opens up a new application of GHDF in ultrasonic detection of SPM.

Published: February 2022

A damage localization method based on natural frequency was proposed in order to complete the nondestructive diagnosis of a composite plate. The relationship between the damage position and the natural frequency of the composite plate was studied both qualitatively and quantitatively. Furthermore, the damage localization method proposed in this paper was proved by simulation and experimentation, with the results showing that this method can locate the position where the stiffness of the composite plate decreased in both simulation and experiment. Finally, the damage localization method based on natural frequency can be applied for non-destructive diagnosis of a delamination composite plate.

The noise and vibration of large oil-immersed reactor is usually controlled and reduced by using high-strength pretensioned steel rods to fasten iron cores. But the effect of uneven temperature increase in the reactor on the pretension relaxation of steel rods is rarely discussed in previous literatures. A combined fastening device of high-strength steel rod and disc spring is designed to conduct temperature experiment in this paper. And three-dimensional (3D) finite element model is developed to reproduce the experiment process. After the numerical simulation method is verified, finite element analysis of a real BKD-6700/20 oil-immersed reactor is performed. The prestress loss proportion of the high-strength pretensioned steel rods in the oil-immersed reactor under practical operating state is 17.91 % owing to its uneven temperature rise, which can result in significantly weakening of its vibration and noise reduction function.
Relationship between personality and academic performance among ethnic Khmer students in Vietnam: The mediating role of teacher confirmation

Published: February 2022

Understanding factors associated with students’ achievement in higher education is critical for planning interventions and services to improve their performance. The aim of this work was to explore the relationship between personality traits and academic performance of Khmer students and examine the role of teacher confirmation of this association. The design was randomly sampled once by a cross-sectional study. A sample population of 426 Khmer students from the first to the third year of three universities in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam completed the Big-Five personality dimension test, the teacher confirmation scale, and reported their college grade point average (GPA). Results revealed that all five personality traits were positive significantly related to academic performance. The results of the current study are also in line with what other studies have confirmed that personality traits are important predictors of academic achievement. Further, Bootstrapping and Sobel's analyses indicated that teacher confirmation mediated the association between openness to experience, conscientiousness, agreeableness traits, and academic performance while the association of extraversion, emotional stability, and academic achievement was not mediated by teacher confirmation. The findings were interpreted within the classroom context in a multicultural environment in the Mekong delta of Vietnam where instructors could encourage and nurture the Khmer students’ achievements based on their personality traits and through the role of teacher confirmation in the classroom.
