In the wake of an unprecedented COVID-19 widespread, there is a massive development in the media and entertainment industry through OTT (Over-the-Top) platforms which offer video streaming directly to viewers via the internet without cable, broadcast, and satellite television supports. During the self-isolation period, OTTs have increased the overall media consumption to a real high and are now gradually becoming mainstream entertainment destination amidst the growing internet users. This mass intrusion has given an opportunity for many independent platforms to grow and run alongside the likes of already established biggies, Netflix and Amazon Prime. The telecom operators chipped in this aspect and are extensively working on optimizing their operations with advertising revenue and bringing in effective content strategies in order to reach out to more people. The present study focuses on this new development by using the technique of quantitative content analysis in order to know the cause of this sudden increase in OTT channels' viewership among millennials during the lockdown period in India and its impact on traditional modes of communication.

Published: October 2021

This study aims to develop a theoretical approach to define the culture of peace and its dimensions in the workplace based on De-Rivera’s peace culture dimensions at the international level. This study offers an organizational model in the workplace and it needs empirical tests in further studies. This paper is an attempt to develop a theoretical framework for peace culture in the workplace. Peace culture will be analyzed in four underlying dimensions: liberal development, violent inequality, state use of violent means, and nurturance. This study transfers De Rivera’s peace culture dimensions into the organizational level, and it is assumed that peace culture in the workplace could be a remedy for a harmonious and peaceful workplace. Peace culture in the workplace is also expected to be a beneficial factor to employees’ behavior, job performances, and organizational commitment as well as work outcomes. In a conclusion, it is expected that this study fills the gap in the literature and will have a leading role for further studies
Does credit access matter for household livelihood diversification in Ethiopia?
Authors: Tsegay Kiros , Fan Hongzhong , Shifare Hailay , Adikari Priyangani
Published: October 2021

This study examines the effect of credit access on both agricultural and off-farm activities based on a household survey of 371 rural farmer respondents in Ethiopia.it was analyzed using a logistic regression model and statistical description. Findings demonstrated that the demographic factors; gender, age, level of education, and family size have a positive and significant effect on credit access. Agricultural credit access is impacted by each of the demographic variables as independent variables. On the other hand, the result indicated that the relationship between credit access and non-farm economic activities has a negative relationship. Credit access has a significant effect on agricultural intensification and specialization rather than diversification. Therefore, a comprehensive policy and strategy needs for credit access in both the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors. The Ethiopian government should follow the integration policy between both sectors and participate in livelihood diversification strategies and achieve sustainable development goals by 2030 at large.

Published: November 2021

Introduction. Many aspects of the pathogenesis and pathomorphology of pneumonia associated with novel coronavirus require a comprehensive study using modern diagnostic methods.The aim of the study was to study the microbiota of the lower respiratory tract in community-acquired pneumonia associated with SARS-CoV-2, to assess the antibiotic and phage resistance of circulating strains of microorganisms.Materials and methods. The analysis of biosamples from 486 patients undergoing inpatient treatment in five mono-hospitals in Tyumen and Tyumen region with a diagnosis of moderate and severe community-acquired pneumonia was carried out. In almost 90% of cases patients received oxygen therapy, about 8% of patients were connected to ventilators. The inoculation of the cultures with clinical samples was carried out for six months (from April to October 2020). The isolated bacterial strains were identified by mass spectrometry. The resistance to antimicrobial drugs and bacteriophages was assessed for identified isolated.Results. Gram-positive cocci, mainly opportunistic microorganisms of the genus Streptococcus and Candida fungi predominated in the microbiota of the lower respiratory tract of patients diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia associated with SARS-CoV-2. At the same time, bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family and nonfermenting gram-negative bacteria were less common compared to patients without coronavirus infection. In the structure of pathogens, the leading position was occupied by the bacteria K. pneumoniae and Acinetobacter spp. The analysis of the sensitivity of microorganisms to antimicrobial drugs showed the highest resistance rates in strains of Acinetobacter spp., Enterococcus spp., Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus. It has been established that in the group of patients with community-acquired pneumonia associated with SARS-CoV-2, the risk of infection with Streptococcus spp. with high level of antibiotic resistance was 1.5 times higher, and taking into account the 95% confidence interval, the value of this indicator ranged from 1.1 to 2.1 times.Conclusion. The data obtained indicate that the microbiota of the lower respiratory tract in community-acquired pneumonia associated with SARS-CoV-2 is represented mainly by bacteria of the genus Streptococcus, which have a high level of resistance to antimicrobial drugs.

Published: November 2021

Introduction. Partially hydrogenated derivatives of xanthone, dihydroxanthones, are being intensively studied. They are of interest due to their antimicrobial, antitumor, and antioxidant effects. Many researches are focused on the study of the cytotoxicity of dihydroxanthones and very little information is available on their antimicrobial activity. Therefore, the study of the antimicrobial activity and mechanism of action of new synthetic derivatives of 4,4a-dihydroxanthone is relevant. Preliminary studies have demonstrated that 4,4a-dihydroxanthones are active against gram-positive bacteria and have a pronounced anti-staphylococcal effect. Namely, 5-bromo-4,4-dimethyl-7-chloro-4,4a-dihydroxanthone (BDC-DX) was shown to be the most active derivative.Aim of the study was to determine the possible target of action of the active derivative of BDC-DX in bacterial cells and its acute toxicity.Materials and methods. The method of measuring the intensity of absorption of the crystal violet dye by bacteria cells was used to prove the effect of BDC-DX on the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane in bacterial cells. The plasma coagulase activity of Staphylococcus aureus was tested under the action of dihydroxanthone to determine the effect of dihydroxanthone on the process of protein synthesis. Plasmid DNA digestion method was used to study the effect of the compound on bacterial DNA. The acute toxicity of BDC-DX was determined by the express method of V.B. Prozorovsky.Results and discussion. BDC-DX increased the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane of S. aureus. Dihydroxanthone did not directly affect the plasma coagulase activity of Staphylococcus and showed a weak damaging effect on bacterial DNA. The compound induced breaks in plasmid DNA at a very high concentration — 1 mM or 384 pg/ml and higher. BDC-DX is a low-toxic compound (the average lethal dose for oral administration of the compound is 1710 ± 170 mg/kg, the average lethal dose for intraperitoneal administration of the compound is 116.9 ± 13.3 mg/kg).Conclusion. For the first time, in-depth study of the possible mechanism of action of a new synthetic biologically active compound from the group of 4,4a- dihydroxanthones, BDC-DX, was conducted. A likely target of 5-bromo-4,4-dimethyl-7-chloro-4,4a-dihydroxanthone in S. aureus cells is the cytoplasmic membrane. BDC-DX did not affect the process of protein synthesis, namely the activity of the plasma coagulase enzyme. The compound had no pronounced damaging effect on bacterial DNA. It was found that 4,4a-dihydroxanthone refers to low-toxic compounds.

The objective of this study was to characterize and compare antigenic and genetic characteristics of Streptococcus pneumoniae strains isolated from patients with invasive and non-invasive pneumococcal infections (PIs) by using the data of high-throughput sequencing.Materials and methods. A total of 158 S. pneumoniae strains were studied. All of them were isolated during different stages of the PEHASus multicenter study performed in 2015-2020. The data analysis was based on the information about whole-genome sequences of 46 strains isolated during the above study. Real-time PCR methods and high-throughput sequencing (the Illumina platform) were used for identification of serotypes. The SeroBA, PneumoCaT software and PubMLST.org website resources were used in the data processing.Results and discussion. The serotypes of all the studied strains were identified. A number of discrepancies among serotypes in serogroup 6 and one discordant result were revealed by the analysis of whole-genome sequences using 2 programs. The PCR methods were effectively used to characterize serotypes in 87% and 69% of the pathogens of invasive and non-invasive PIs, respectively. The serotypes contained in PCV13 accounted for 59% and 37%, while PPV23 serotypes accounted for 78% and 53% of the strains isolated from patients with invasive and non-invasive PIs, respectively. The data analysis was unable to identify either the dominant sequence type (a total of 81 sequence types have been identified) or clonal complexes, except for serotype 3 strains, thus demonstrating consistency with the data from previous studies suggesting the absence of a well-represented clonal structure of S. pneumoniae associated with pneumococcal meningitis in Russia.Conclusion. The obtained data made it possible to identify the distribution of the circulating serotypes and genetic characteristics of the strains isolated from PI patients, thus being instrumental for assessment of the effectiveness of the existing polyvalent vaccines and providing information for improvement of the PCR-based methods of serotyping.

Ciencia ilustrada y el temor a lo divino
Authors: Quintero O. David
Published: November 2021

Este artículo busca analizar la documentación elaborada entre 1782 y 1783 por el arzobispo-virrey del Nuevo Reino de Granada Antonio Caballero y Góngora, sobre la epidemia de viruela vivida durante su regencia. A partir de su carta pastoral emitida en 1782 y sus posteriores informes al ministro de India, José de Gálvez, se puede ver la coexistencia de dos discursos, por un lado, el que promovía la inoculación para enfrentar la transmisión de la viruela, siendo el resultado de los avances de la ciencia ilustrada, y otra, dirigida a la población en general en la que la peste se presentó como un castigo divino luego del episodio de infidelidad que sacudió al virreinato. La unión de ambos elementos no representó una contradicción, sino al contrario, da cuenta de la mentalidad de una época en la que el peso del catolicismo y el impulso de la Ilustración convivían fácilmente en los sujetos.

In this research work we have coated WC (tungsten carbide) tool inserts with diamond like carbon coatings. The deposition was done using the thermal Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) method. We have used bagasse of sugarcane which is an agriculture waste as a carbon precursor for developing the diamond like carbon coatings. Surface finish, cutting temperature and cutting forces of as-developed diamond like carbon coatings on the WC inserts were examined and analyzed in this research work. For confirming the presence of diamond like carbon coatings on the surface of coated tungsten carbide (WC) tool inserts substrate we have used Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (Fe-SEM). The increase in the hardness on the developed coated samples were inspected by performing the hardness test on the coated substrates. The average evaluated Vickers Hardness number were found to be 1455.24 HV and 950.65 HV for both coated as well as un-coated samples respectively. This shows 53% rise in the hardness of the un-coated WC inserts.

The main intention of this research work is to study the derailment response of high speed railway vehicle (HSRV) cruising on a curved track. In previous research work, lower degree of freedom (DOF) has been considered for the derailment analysis which may not give more accurate results. Hence, a 31 DOF bondgraph model of HSRV has been developed which consist of carbody, two truck frames and two selfsame wheelsets for each truck frame. Vertical, lateral, roll, yaw and pitch motion are considered for carbody and bogie and except pitch motion all the other motion are considered for wheelsets. Non-linearities in terms of heuristic nonlinear creep model and flange contact has been employed to simulate the derailment response at high speed. The effect of vehicle speed running on a curved track was investigated for derailment quotient. The main aim of present research work to evaluate derailment quotient at the speed range of 150 kmph to 600 kmph for hard and soft suspension parameter. Derailment quotient has been calculated for both linear and nonlinear creep models and it is seen that DQ for linear model has a lower value compare to non linear creep. The major advantages of the proposed model are that, the presented model can actively predict the derailment of a railway vehicle, and also precisely determine the nonlinear critical hunting speeds.

Katika utafiti huu tulikusanya data kutoka kwenye Kamusi Kuu ya Kiswahili (2015) ambapo nomino ambatani thelathini zinazokiuka Kanuni ya Kufuta Mabano zilitumika kama data ya msingi. Nomino hizi zilichaguliwa kwa kuzingatia sifa bainifu za ukiukaji wa Kanuni ya Kufuta Mabano (KKM). Utafiti huu uliongozwa na mhimili mmoja wa nadharia ya Mofolojia Leksia iliyoasisiwa na Kiparsky (1982) na kuendelezwa na Katamba na Stonham (2019): Kanuni ya Kufuta Mabano. Nadharia ya Mofolojia Leksia iliibuka kufidia mtazamo wa Chomsky wa Sarufi Zalishi ambao haukutambua kiwango cha mofolojia kama kiwango mahususi cha lugha. Kimsingi nadharia hii inaonesha uhusiano wa sheria zinazojenga maumbo ya kimofolojia na sheria zinazodhibiti namna maumbo hayo yanavyotamkwa. Data iliyohusiana na mada ya utafiti ilikusanywa maktabani. Baadhi ya makala ambazo zilitumika katika utafiti huu ni tasnifu za awali, makala ya mtandaoni na majarida. Utafiti huu uliongozwa na usampulishaji kimakusudi ili kufikia maneno husika ya nomino ambatani yaliyo na sifa bainifu. Matokeo ya utafiti huu yaliwasilishwa kwa njia ya michoro, majedwali na maelezo. Utafiti huu unachangia isimu hasa kupitia kuelewa na kueleza mbinu za mwambatano katika lugha ya Kiswahili, kuwahami waundakamusi za Kiswahili na maarifa, na kukuza mofolojia ya Kiswahili.

Ferula assa-foetida and F. gummosa, Apiaceae, are important endemic and endangered medicinal plants. Survival of the species is threatened by climate change, overexploiting (as source of oleo-gum resin and for-age) and lack of organized cultivation. Cultivation of these valuable medicinal plants is restricted by insuffi-cient domestication knowledge. Germination characteristics of different populations of Ferula taxa were studied with the aim of describing and comparing their responses to continuous cold stratification condition. Germination cues for the species were complex, with dormancy mechanisms present to restrict germination until cold stratification are fulfilled. Results indicated that a period of 4 weeks of stratification is sufficient for germination of F. assa-foetida, but optimal germination of F. gummosa require stratification for periods of 8 weeks. Both species were able to germinate at very low temperatures (4°C). Within-taxon differences in dor-mancy breaking and seedling emergence may interpret as local adaptations. The continued regeneration and propagation of the species in the wild will depend on the temperature and moisture status of the soil during winter and the maintenance of conditions suitable for stratification for an appropriate length of time.

Mengingat Masa Lalu di Saat Krisis: Pemaknaan terhadap Sosok Anak Kecil dalam Matius 18:2

Published: October 2021

Injil Matius ditujukan bagi komunitas yang tengah mengalami krisis yang sangat hebat. Dalam merespons situasi tersebut, penulis injil menuliskan peraturan komunitas (Gemeindeordnung), yang tertulis dalam Matius 18. Hal yang menarik dari peraturan tersebut adalah, Matius mengawali tulisannya dengan mengangkat kisah Yesus yang menempatkan seorang anak kecil (Mat.18:2). Kisah ini menjadi sebuah kisah yang sangat fenomenal mengingat pada masa itu anak kecil adalah kelompok masyarakat yang rendah dan dianggap tidak begitu penting. Dari kisah yang menarik dan fenomenal ini memunculkan pertanyaan: Mengapa Yesus menggunakan anak kecil? Sejumlah penafsir menyimpulkan bahwa itu adalah semacam simbol. Penafsir lain menyatakan bahwa itu merupakan semacam model. Namun demikian, ada sejumlah penafsir yang menyimpulkan dengan sangat berbeda namun menarik yaitu bahwa penggunaan anak kecil ini adalah terkait dengan masa lalu. Sayangnya penjelasan mengenai pendekatan “masa lalu” yang digunakan oleh Yesus ini belum diuraikan lebih jauh. Melalui tulisan ini, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa Yesus sedang menggunakan sebuah pendekatan pastoral yaitu nostalgia. Dengan memanfaatkan sejumlah penelitian empiris dalam penelitian psikologi, penulis menilai bahwa penggunaan anak kecil adalah agar para murid dapat kembali kepada masa lalu mereka yang penuh dengan narasi penyertaan Allah, baik kepada para leluhur mereka maupun kepada diri mereka sendiri. Sebagai komunitas yang tengah mengalami krisis, pendekatan ini diharapkan akan menghadirkan harapan. Tema utama Injil Matius - Allah Bersama Kita - dan penelitian empiris tentang nostalgia dalam psikologi akan digunakan sebagai bingkai kerja penafsiran.
Opera Trinitatis Ad Extra Indivisa Sunt: Kontribusi Teologi Trinitas Agustinus dalam Percakapan Teologi Agama-Agama
Authors: Putra Yeremia Yordani
Published: October 2021

Artikel ini merupakan penggalian prinsip teologis Opera Trinitatis Ad Extra Indivisa Sunt (karya Allah Trinitas dalam ekonomi sejarah penebusan tidak terbagi) dalam pemikiran Trinitas Agustinus dan membawanya ke dalam konteks percakapan pemikiran para teolog agama-agama Trinitarian kontemporer, di antaranya seperti Jacques Dupuis, Amos Yong, dan Raimundo Panikkar. Dalam pemikiran Dupuis dan Yong didapati adanya upaya untuk memisahkan karya Roh Kudus dari karya Anak. Sedangkan dalam pemikiran Panikkar, adanya upaya serupa yang memisahkan karya Yesus (logos ensarkos) dari karya Kristus atau Firman yang kekal (logos asarkos). Dengan menggunakan metode kepustakaan penelitian, artikel ini menemukan bahwa prinsip teologis Agustinus tersebut dapat dinilai masih sangat relevan dan dapat berperan sebagai pagar ortodoksi yang mengingatkan segala upaya konstruksi teologi agama-agama Trinitarian kontemporer untuk menjaga kesatuan ketiga pribadi Trinitas, di mana Bapa, Anak, dan Roh Kudus berkarya bersama di dalam ekonomi keselamatan yang tunggal. Dengan kata lain, prinsip teologis tersebut dapat menolong kita dalam mengevaluasi segala upaya reinterpretasi Trinitas dalam pemikiran para teolog agama-agama kontemporer.
Hadir Tanpa Pamrih: Arah Pastoral Gereja di Era Pandemi

Published: October 2021

Pandemi COVID-19 tidak hanya menimbulkan masalah kesehatan dan kematian jasmaniah, tetapi juga melahirkan masalah-masalah yang sifatnya spiritual. Kehadiran gereja melalui karya pastoralnya di tengah jemaat amatlah diperlukan. Akan tetapi, norma physical distancing yang diberlakukan di mana-mana selama masa pandemi COVID-19 membuat pihak gereja amat terhalang untuk dapat hadir secara fisik dalam melakukan karya pastoralnya. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membaca profil situasi tersebut dengan data akurat yang diperoleh berdasarkan suatu penelitian kuantitatif (survey) dan diteguhkan melalui penelitian kualitatif (in depth interview) terhadap salah satu gereja di kota metropolitan, yaitu Gereja Kristen Jawa Joglo Jakarta. Hasil penelitian tersebut adalah ditemukan bahwa kehadiran gereja yang tanpa pamrih melalui para pelayan pastoral dalam kegiatan-kegiatan yang diselenggarakan secara on-site dan online di tengah kehidupan jemaat merupakan wujud konkret karya pastoral yang menyejahterakan bagi jemaat. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa kegiatan online memiliki bobot rohani yang sama dengan kegiatan on-site. Keduanya dapat digunakan oleh para pelayan pastoral sebagai sarana mengembangkan kehidupan spiritual jemaat. Tulisan ini hendak menyodorkan suatu refleksi teologis tentang sikap dasar rohani yang menjadi arah pastoral kehadiran gereja yang lebih berbobot di tengah situasi pandemi COVID-19 ini, yaitu dengan sikap tanpa pamrih.
