علاقة نائب الشام تنكز الحسامي بالسلطان المملوكي الناصر محمد بن قلاوون (712- 740هـ/ 1312- 1339/1340م)
Authors: العملة عبدالجبار أحمد
Published: October 2022

يتناول هذا البحث علاقة الأمير تنكز الحسامي بالسلطان المملوكي الناصر محمد بن قلاوون، هذه العلاقة التي بدأت ترتسم ملامحها منذ وجود السلطان الناصر في الكرك، وقبل توليه منصب السلطنة المملوكية للمرة الثالثة عام 709هـ/1309م، ثم تطورت بتعيينه نائباً للشام عام 712هـ/1312م، وعلى أثر ذلك توثقت هذه العلاقة بشكل كبير عندما تزوج الناصر إحدى بنات الأمير تنكز، فتكررت زيارات تنكز للسلطان في القاهرة، وفي المقابل تكررت زيارات السلطان لدمشق، ووصل الأمر إلى أن عرض السلطان على الأمير تنكز أن يزوج بناته لأولاد الأمير، كما تناول هذا البحث كيفية تحول هذه العلاقة الوثيقة وهذا الود الكبير الذي ربط السلطان الناصر بالأمير تنكز، إلى عداوة وكره شديدين، دفعا بالناصر في نهاية المطاف إلى التخلص من الأمير تنكز وقتله. إن هذه النهاية المأساوية التي آلت إليها شخصية الأمير تنكز، تثير الكثير من التساؤلات والجدل عن إشكالية العلاقة التي ارتسمت ملامحها بين الأمير والسلطان وانتهت بهذا الشكل التراجيدي، فلم يشفع لتنكز دوره في الجهاد ضد أعداء الدولة المملوكية (المغول والأرمن)، في معركتي شقحب ووادي الخزندار، وكانت هذه المشاركة في الفترة التي سبقت حكمه لدمشق، ودوره في الجهاد ضد الأرمن(ملطية وسيس) في فترة ولايته على دمشق، خاصة حملته العسكرية الشهيرة على ملطية عام 715هـ/1315م، ومشاركة القوات الدمشقية في الحملة على بلاد سيس عام 737هـ/1337م، هذه العلاقة المثيرة، وهذه النهاية المحزنة لتلك العلاقة، ما هي إلا صورة مصغرة عن طبيعة العلاقات التي كانت قائمة بين السلاطين أنفسهم، والسلاطين والأمراء، والأمراء فيما بينهم، تلك العلاقة التي كانت قائمة على الشك والريبة فيما بينهم، وكانت في كثير من الأحيان تؤدي إلى قتل أحد الأطراف.

Published: October 2022

Excitonic chromophore aggregates have wide-ranging applicability in fields such as imaging and energy harvesting, however their rational design requires adapting principles of self-assembly to the requirements of excited state coupling. Using the well-studied amphiphilic cyanine dye C8S3 as a template—known to assemble into tubular excitonic aggregates—we synthesize several redshifted variants and study their self-assembly and photophysics. The new pentamethine dyes retain their tubular self-assembly and demonstrate nearly identical bathochromic shifts and lineshapes well into near-infrared wavelengths. However, detailed photophysical analysis finds that the new aggregates show a significant decline in superradiance. Additionally, cryo-TEM reveals that these aggregates readily form short bundles of nanotubes that have nearly half the radii of their trimethine comparators. We employ computational screening to gain intuition on how the structural components of these new aggregates affect their excitonic states, finding that the narrower tubes are able to assemble into a larger number of arrangements, resulting in more disordered aggregates (i.e. less superradiant) with highly similar degrees of redshift.
Convergence in Determining Enzyme Functional Descriptors across Kemp Eliminase Variants

Published: October 2022

Molecular simulations have been extensively employed to accelerate biocatalytic discoveries. Enzyme functional descriptors derived from molecular simulations have been leveraged to guide the search for beneficial enzyme mutants. However, the ideal active-site region size for computing the descriptors over multiple enzyme variants remains untested. Here, we conducted convergence tests for dynamics-derived and electrostatic descriptors on eighteen Kemp eliminase variants across six active-site regions with various boundary distances to the substrate. The tested descriptors include the root-mean-square deviation of the active-site region, the solvent accessible surface area ratio between the substrate and active site, and the projection of the electric field on the breaking C–H bond. All descriptors were evaluated using molecular mechanics methods. To understand the effects of electronic structure, the electric field was also evaluated using quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics methods. The descriptor values were computed for eighteen KE variants combined with six active-site regions. Spearman correlation matrices were used to determine the region size condition under which further expansion of the region boundary does not substantially change the ranking of descriptor values. We observed that protein dynamics-derived descriptors, including RMSDactive_site and SASAratio, converge at a distance cutoff of 5 Å from the substrate. The electrostatic descriptor, EFC–H, converges at 6 Å using molecular mechanics methods and 7 Å using quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics methods. This study serves as a future reference to determine descriptors for predictive modeling of enzyme engineering.

Published: October 2022

2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrins (HP-β-CDs) ability to form inclusion complexes with lipophilic compounds is important both to treat Niemann Pick Type C disease and as part of a more general drug-formulation as a drug carrier. Theoretical studies of inclusion complexes with classical molecular dynamics simulations of HP-β-CDs are hampered by the fact that there are more than 2 million possible isomers to consider. We construct a general GLYCAM06 (Kirschner, K. N. et. al., J. Comput. Chem. 2007, 29, 622–655) compatible force field to treat all possible isomers of HP-β-CDs and investigate the effect on free energies of binding obtained from the MM/GBSA approach when increasing the degree of substitution. We find improved binding proportional to the added side chains. To show the applicability of the HP-β-CD force field, we generate an ensemble of simulations guided by experimentally determined distributions of isomers from mass spectrometry. Our results for ibuprofen and ketoprofen shows that acceptable accuracy in free energies of binding can be obtained with ensembles generated from around 40 isomers, but this is dependent on the guest molecule. We also investigate a simple linear relation between molecular log(P ) and free energy of binding for inclusion complexes of HP-β-CD. The linear model is promising but we find that the accuracy is too dependent on a single simulation. The presented force field and computational approach should provide for more realistic simulations.
Dithioacetal Polymers Capable of Chemical Recycling to Macrocyclic Monomers and Formation of Vitrimers
Authors: Kariyawasam Lasith S. , Rolsma Julian , Yang Ying
Published: October 2022

Polymers capable of chemical recycling to monomers are highly desirable to produce sustainable materials with a circular economy. We here report a highly efficient ring-chain recycling of polydithioacetal (PDTA) via ring-closing depolymerization (RCD) and entropy-driven ring-opening polymerization (ED-ROP). Pristine PDTAs can be conveniently synthesized via a one-step reaction using 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde and α,ω-alkyl dithiols with an acid catalyst. The resulting PDTAs undergo acid-catalyzed RCD with refluxing toluene to yield a mixture of macrocycles of various sizes with conversions of 75-95%. ED-ROP of these macrocyclic monomer mixtures in solution at room temperature affords virgin PDTAs, reaching high conversions of 80-95% within 2 h. Owing to the stability of dithioacetals, PDTAs are far more stable than the acetal counterparts, resisting hydrolysis under both acidic and basic conditions. With a floor temperature below 0 °C, depolymerization is not a concern in the bulk state even in the presence of residual catalysts as polymerization is favored at higher temperatures for ED-ROP. Once crosslinked, the network behaves as a vitrimer enabled by temperature-activated interchain exchange of dithioacetals in the bulk state. The vitrimer depolymerizes into macrocyclic monomers in solvent which can repolymerize to regenerate the vitrimer.

Rising Rap Music Fury on Digital Platforms; What Does the Youth Want to Say?
Authors: BERKER Deniz
Published: October 2022

In this study, it has been examined the relationship between music and society from the point of view of the songs that young people listen to the most and how these songs overlap with the young people's feelings about the society and system they live in. İndividuals, tend to prefer music that is coherent to their emotional state, known as the mood-congruency. Therefore there is a deep connection between the musical styles listened to periodically and social dynamics. In this context, in the Spotify application, which is a digital platform, six rap songs that young people listen to the most were selected and qualitative content analysis method was applied in the study. At the same time, the "System-Based Emotions Scale" questionnaire was applied to the 77 young people studying at the İstanbul Topkapı University Faculty of Fine Arts, Design and Architecture at the undergraduate level, which includes the feelings they may feel towards the system they live in. In this way, the relationship between the political attitudes and feelings of young people and the lyrics they listen to can be looked at more deeply. When we look at the results of the qualitative content analysis and the "System-Based Emotions Scale" questionnaire, the harmony between the two data draws attention. It is revealed that young people, as members of the current system and order, express their feelings, they want to say through Rap music.

Published: October 2022

In light of the rapid and increasing spread of technology in all aspects of life, developing the skills for producing e-courses for teachers has become an important need. This empirical research aims at designing a digital repository based on interactive learning objects and measuring its impact on developing the skills necessary for producing e-courses based on Quality Matters (QM) standards for middle school mathematics teachers. We apply both a descriptive analytical approach and an experimental approach to achieve this objective. This empirical research was conducted on a random sample of 60 schoolteachers, who were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental one, consisting of 30 schoolteachers who were trained using the digital repository based on interactive learning objects; and the control, consisting of 30 schoolteachers who were trained using the traditional training method. The research tools consisted of an achievement test and a quality assessment card for e-courses based on QM standards. To analyse the data, an independent sample t-test was used. The results revealed that, in contrast with the control group, the experimental group acquired superior skills in designing and producing e-courses, as well as in the quality of e-courses. These results confirm the importance of using digital repositories based on interactive learning objects as one of the modern directions for future development in the production of e-courses based on QM standards for middle school teachers.

Published: October 2022

This study aims to determine the mediators’ and moderators’ roles in the adoption of the Madrasati (M) learning management system (LMS) among teachers in Riyadh. This study used the survey approach; it and involved 374 teachers, that use M LMS to deliver their instructions. The study’s samples represent the larger population of 13,782 public school teachers in Riyadh; 413 responses were collected after distributing 500 questionnaires. The independent variables are performance-expectancy (PE), effort-expectancy (EE), social-influence (SI), and facilitating conditions (FC); while Madrasati (M) LMS utilisation is the dependent variable. Meanwhile, behavioural intention serves as a moderator variable, while age and gender functions serve as mediators. This study discovered that behavioural intention, age, and gender all play mediating or moderating roles in M LMS utilisation among Riyadh teachers. In terms of mediation variables, this study found that the links between PE, SI, and FC and M LMS utilisation are significantly mediated by behavioural intention. However, there is no evidence that BI plays a moderating role in the relationship between EE and M LMS. Regarding age, all age groups’ moderating effects on M LMS- utilisations showed significant beta values, except on PE, which is not significant. However, EE had a substantially moderating effect on M LMS usage for teachers aged 30 and younger and teachers aged 31–40, while the beta values for teachers aged 41–50, and 51 and above, were not significant. It is suggested that future research should consider other variables, such as years of experience, which could influence the link between the variables and other components.
Economic and Management Sciences as the Ground Rule for Grades 10 to 12 Accounting Learners in South Africa
Authors: Jonda Nombulelo Dorah , Alfred Modise Motalenyane
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this study was to explore economic and management sciences (EMS) as ground rule for Grades 10 to 12 accounting learners in South Africa. The objective of introducing EMS in schools was to equip learners with basic real-life skills in accounting, economics, and business. This requires educators who are highly skilled and well vested with the content of EMS to impart knowledge to learners. However, research has shown continuous challenges in accounting, as it is regarded as a difficult subject due to a high failure rate. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews from six EMS educators who were purposively sampled. The results revealed that EMS educators are qualified for either one or two EMS disciplines, resulting in EMS being taught by unqualified educators with inadequate content knowledge (CK) due to the scarcity of qualified educators. The study revealed a continuous neglection of accounting content, as EMS educators focus more on economics and business studies. The study also revealed that the time allocated to teach EMS is insufficient and that accounting should not be merged with other subjects as it requires more time. We recommend that the way in which EMS educators are trained should be reviewed. In addition, we suggest that a special program should be designed to fully equip EMS educators in all three areas to ensure the availability of qualified EMS educators. We further recommend that the Department of Education should review time allocation for EMS.

Objective: To determine plasma omentin-1 levels in pregnant females suffering from gestational diabetes mellitus. Study Design: Case Control study. Setting: Outpatient Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Tertiary Care Hospital of Karachi, Pakistan. Period: June 2021 to December 2021. Material & Methods: Ninety-nine gestational diabetic and ninety-six healthy pregnant women were included in this study. A diagnostic criterion for gestational diabetes was oral glucose tolerance test between 24th to 28th weeks of pregnancy. ELISA was performed at KIBGE lab for estimation of plasma omentin-1 levels. Data was analyzed by SPSS software version 22. Results: Mean age of the patients was 30.8±6.4 years. GDM patients had increased BMI (36.0± 6.6vs 32.3 ±4.7; p=0.001), FBG (110 ±14 vs 77± 9; p=0.001), however, plasma omentin-1levels (4.90±9.01vs 9.56±12.11; p=0.001) were found reduced in GDM as compared to nGDM females. Statistically significant negative correlation was found between plasma omentin-1 and body mass index (BMI) (p=0.02). Simple and multi variable regression analysis revealed the statistically significant association of plasma omentin-1 with GDM. Conclusion: Our study has concluded that reduced plasma omentin-1 levels may play a significant role in the development of GDM during pregnancy, so it might be a new possible biomarker for early GDM diagnosis.

That fantastic and mysterious flow of electrons that we call LIFE
Authors: Bruno Riccardi
Published: October 2022

The aim of this article is to present a personal conception on the structure and evolution of matter and to examine critically the one theorized by physics and quantum biology. The fundamental questions I am going to try to answer are: · What is a life? · Why is it difficult, elusive to understand its inner molecular mechanism? · Is it possible to formulate a comprehensive theory of the molecular mechanism that guides it, without resorting to abstract mathematical equations, true transcendental transpositions of the real world? · What does mysterious and powerful feeling push us in the search for its essence, despite the limited cognitive tools we have? Is love for knowledge an end in itself? The narrative I’m going to present is based on the assumption that all the elementary particles of matter and the forces with which they interact use a proper means of communication a universal molecular code, that informs them and guides them in the random evolution towards infinite possible solutions. I have also theorized that the evolution of life on earth had been possible thanks to the formation of a barrier, called the cell membrane, capable of containing within it, a set of organized and coordinated molecules, separated from the chaotic external world. To this hypothesis shared by many authors, I have associated the concept that the cell membrane has perfected the process of biological communication. Finally, I have hypothesized as the basis of life processes an incessant flow of electrons, which regulates communication and provide the energy they need. The substrate of this mechanism is formed by electromagnetic waves, the only ones capable to transport electrons and orchestrate the cosmic symphony. I may consider myself sufficiently gratified of the concepts presented here if they find some adhesion and theoretical contribution from the readers.
Detection and isolation of bacteria from the lid of some selected canned drinks from retail shops sold at plateau state polytechnic Barkin Ladi Heipang campus

Published: October 2022

Beverages in aluminium cans are widely available, and for convenience, drinks are often consumed directly from the orifice of the can. Cans are exposed to various environments during production, storage, transportation and handling at retail shops during which the lid may be contaminated with microorganisms. This study was aimed at isolating and identifying bacteria from the surfaces of canned drinks offered for sale on the main campus of Plateau State Polytechnic Barkin Ladi. For this purpose, a total of fifty canned drinks were randomly purchased from five different kiosks/ shops for laboratory investigations. Results of analyses indicated that all the canned drinks examined were contaminated with various microorganisms representing a 100% contamination rate. The highest bacterial count was recorded in shops 5 and 9 where the cells were too numerous to be counted (TNC) and were closely followed by shop 8 which had 162 colony-forming units of bacterial count on the colony counter. The shop with the least bacterial count was shop no 10 which had 47 bacterial counts per 100 ml. The biochemical test indicated the presence of Escherichia coli, Streptococcus spp, Bacillus spp and Staphylococcus aureus on the surfaces of the cans. These organisms are of significant public health risk once ingested from any contaminated surface. It is therefore recommended that proper cleaning of surfaces of canned drinks should be done before consumption to safeguard the health of consumers.

This case report describes a rare delayed presentation of posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of superficial femoral artery (SFA). A 22-year-old man presented with a painful expanding mass over the anteromedial aspect of the distal thigh three months after a motor traffic crash. The lump was tender and pulsatile on examination. CT angiogram revealed a pseudoaneurysm of distal SFA. Open surgical repair was done and the recovery was uneventful. It is to emphasize that absence of physical signs of vascular injury on immediate assessment following trauma does not exclude vascular injury and it can manifest as pseudoaneurysms even after months.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between school principals' mind types and their organizational citizenship behaviors[OCBs]. This research was carried out by the quantitative relational survey model. The study was conducted with 346 school administrators who work in different regions of Turkey. The data of this research has been collected by employing “Mind Types Scale” and “OCB Scale”. According to the perceptions of administrators, the disciplinary, synthesizing and creating mind types of the administrators were high, respectful and ethical mind types and OCBs of the administrators were found to be very high. A high level relationship was found between the disciplinary and synthetic mind types of administrators. A positive moderate level relationship between the disciplinary mind and OCB, a positive intermediate level relationship between the synthetic mind and OCB, a positive weak level relationship between the creating mind and OCB, a positive medium level relationship between respectful mind and OCB, and a positive high level relationship between the ethical mind and OCB have been found. Ethical, respectful, synthetic mind were found to be a significant predictor of OCB, while disciplinary and creating mind type were not found to be a significant predictor of OCB.

In this study, the effects of digital stories about healthy eating developed for primary school 2nd-grade students on health perception, nutritional behavior, nutritional self-efficacy, and nutrition attitude were investigated. The study, in which the quasi-experimental design with the pre-test and post-test control group was used, was carried out with 90 students studying at a public school in Istanbul. In the control group, the primary school life science textbook was used in accordance with the program. In the experimental group of the research, the teaching of healthy and balanced eating was carried out through digital storytelling for five weeks. Children's Dietary Self- Efficacy Scale, Health Perception Form, Food Behavior Scale, and Nutrition Attitude Scale were used in the study. The obtained data were subjected to parametric analysis. At the end of the study, it was observed that there was a positive change in the health perception, nutritional behavior, nutritional self-efficacy, and nutrition attitudes of the students in the experimental group. On the other hand, it was observed that the nutritional self-efficacy and nutritional behavior scores of the control group students increased in the post-tests. The results obtained showed that the digital storytelling approach was effective. Based on this, it is suggested to examine the effect of the relevant method on different variables.

O objetivo desse estudo foi identificar e sistematizar indicadores relacionados às práticas que podem favorecer os processos de alfabetização e letramento de crianças com diagnóstico de deficiência intelectual, matriculadas em escola regular. Para alcançar esse objetivo foi efetuada uma revisão sistemática, com critérios e estratégias de busca que levaram em consideração a qualidade de uma revisão de literatura e suas implicações para futuras pesquisas e para a prática educacional. Os resultados inicias (sem filtro) indicaram 3798 teses e dissertações. Após a aplicação de todos os filtros (critérios) restaram 76 pesquisas para leitura cuidadosa do método. Ao final dessa leitura, houve a exclusão de mais trabalhos, restando 15 pesquisas para análise na íntegra, considerando a presença clara de estratégias e atividades pedagógicas coletivas e individualizadas com a participação de crianças com diagnóstico de deficiência intelectual. Os principais indicadores extraídos foram: utilização de adaptações, flexibilizações e diferenciações curriculares; mediação docente como ação fundamental para a prática pedagógica com esses estudantes; a colaboração entre os professores de apoio e da sala comum para a construção de práticas com perspectiva inclusiva e práticas pedagógicas que consideram características e maneiras diferentes de acesso ao conhecimento, dentre outros aspectos. Concluímos que os estudos problematizam questões vinculadas ao campo da didática, com especial atenção para a formação docente, seja a inicial, ou a continuada. Porém, alguns estudos apontam para a necessidade de a ação docente ser desenvolvida, considerando as especificidades dessas crianças, de modo que priorizem elementos que promovam a participação delas em atividades da sala comum.

Gilles Deleuze and Bernini’s Bel Composto: From Theatricality to a Living-montage
Authors: Moreira Soares Maria João , Germana Gonçalves Clara
Published: October 2022

In The Fold (1988), Gilles Deleuze argues that if the Baroque period establishes the concept of total art or the unity of the arts, then it does so in extension. Each art form extends to another art form. To this “extensive unity” – this “universal theatre” – he adds the Elements; we can say the epigene. The philosopher writes: “[t]his extensive unity of the arts forms a universal theatre that includes air and earth, and even fire and water.” According to Giovanni Careri, writing in Bernini: Flights of Love, the Art of Devotion (1995), the interiors of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's are the most complete realisation of the bel composto. In these chapels, the interiors function as complete autonomous organisms in and of themselves. A theatrical dimension is associated with this autonomous operation. Careri adds another insight. He argues that the proliferations of composition components inherent in Bernini's chapels result in a cinematographic montage. Proceeding from Bernini’s bel composto and Deleuze’s thought, this paper proposes a new reading of the Baroque that is relevant to the present-day for architecture, taking the idea of theatrical scene as an organism supported by architecture and advancing to an idea of montage (beyond Careri’s) in which the spectator, the one who observes the small world, and the small world itself turning into an autonomous organism, makes the assemblage of the whole. A living-montage – an idea of architecture that is constantly interpreted, reinterpreted and recreated by the beholder.
