The Riemann mapping theorem from Riemann’s viewpoint
Authors: Kim Kang-Tae
Published: July 2022

The Riemann Mapping Theorem (RMT for short) is in every Textbook on Complex Variables.
It was first announced in Riemann’s lecture in 1851, the lecture notes of which are available even on
the internet. Nevertheless, what one finds in the textbooks is the proof by Carathéodory, which takes
a viewpoint quite different from Riemann’s original. On the other hand, Riemann’s original viewpoint is
novel and rich, but too sketchy to be accepted as precise proof, as many experts say. Then in 2017,
Robert E. Greene of UCLA and I gave detailed proof of the general case following the ideas of
Riemann [1]. The purpose of this presentation is to give a comprehensive report on it.
Food inequality: One part of a much larger problem [Book review]
Authors: Hathaway Jules
Published: July 2022

First paragraph: In 2014, researchers ascribed the growing nutrit­ional inequality in America to two factors: the price of wholesome foods and geographic inaccessibility for families living in food deserts (Wang et al., 2014). Priyah Fielding-Singh believed that the causes had to be much more complex than that. As a doctoral student in sociology at Stanford University, she conducted an ethnographic study that involved interviewing 160 parents and children and extensively observing four families. Her findings, reported in How the Other Half Eats: The Untold Story of Food and Inequality in America, reveal the complexity of causes, as she was expecting, of growing nutritional inequality. She also addresses the need to see food inequality as one intercon­nected facet of socioeconomic inequality rather than as a standalone problem. . . .
Regenerative agriculture and racial justice [Book review]
Authors: Shannon Natasha
Published: July 2022

First paragraph: At a time when regenerative agriculture has come under increasing scrutiny for murky definitions (Newton et al., 2020), corporate dilution (Nargi, 2020), and a lack of attention to racial justice and land access (Fassler, 2021), Liz Carlisle’s Healing Grounds: Climate, Justice, and the Deep Roots of Regenerative Farming (2022) offers an expansive, justice-oriented understanding of regenerative agriculture. In Healing Grounds, Carlisle makes the case that the regenerative farming practices gaining popular traction are not new but are instead deeply rooted in the agricultural traditions of Black, Indig­e­nous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities across the globe. To unearth these deep roots, Carlisle features the stories and work of several BIPOC women leaders in regenerative agriculture, weaving in a wealth of interviews, archival research, and historical data to examine structural agricul­tural injustices and the multitude of regenerative farming practices sustained by BIPOC commu­nities. . . .
Works for Works, Book 1
Authors: Keeney Gavin
Published: July 2022

Works for Works, Book 1: Useless Beauty tackles “legacy” issues of intellectual property rights (IPR) in artistic production and academic scholarship and proposes a category or class of works that has no relation to IPR nor to proprietary regimes of copyright and academic privilege. Keeney’s book is a structuralist argument for establishing new forms of artistic scholarship that operate in direct opposition to established norms in both the art world and neoliberal academia, and is also rigorously contextualized within past and present-day arguments for and against patrimonial and paternalistic, avant-garde and normative, forms of censure and conformity across cultural production.

Works for Works, Book 1: Useless Beauty privileges an iterative, generative, and aleatory methodology for artistic scholarship, with transmedia proposed as a “tutelary form” of editioning works against the dictates of the art-academic complex. This focus on generativity also invokes the dialectical operations historically associated with past avant-gardes as they have negotiated an elective nihilism as an avenue for exiting established and authorized forms of conceptual and intellectual inquiry in the Arts and Humanities.

Cerebral venous thrombosis in pregnancy: A case report
Authors: Shatry Naima , Wright Andrew , Selim Eskandar Osama
Published: July 2022

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a very rare condition. The incidence of CVST in general is 3–4 per million, however, in pregnancy the incidence ranges from 1/2500 to 1/10,000. Headache is the most common and first symptom of presentation of CVST. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis can be associated with other neurological manifestations such as papilledema, focal neurological signs, diplopia, cranial nerve palsy, and psychosis. This is a case of a 28-year-old woman in her second pregnancy who presented at 38+2 weeks gestational age with migraine-like headache associated with nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision. She was diagnosed with CVST by magnetic resonance venography (MRV) which demonstrated thrombotic venous sinus occlusion. The condition was treated with therapeutic dose of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). Although CVST is a rare condition, it should be excluded in women who present with headache in pregnancy particularly when presenting with associated neurological symptoms and signs.
The Effect of Beta-Hydroxy-Beta-Methyl Butyrate in Response to Exercise and High-Fat Diet on Body Weight, Body Composition and Characteristics of Metabolic Syndrome in Male Wistar Rats
Authors: Jahan-mihan Alireza , Wrightson Natalie
Published: July 2022

Purpose: To examine the effect of HMB on body weight and body composition and characteristics of metabolic syndrome. Methods: Newly weaned Wistar rats (n=36) received a regular diet for 4 weeks. Thereafter, rats were allocated to three groups (n=12/group).  All groups received a high-fat diet for 8 weeks. Group one received HMB (320mg/kg BW /d) and an exercise regimen; group two received HMB with no exercise and group three received a placebo with no exercise (control group). Bodyweight (BW), body composition, systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, pulse rate, fasting blood glucose (FBG), and blood glucose (BG) response to a glucose load were measured.   Results: BW and food intake were not affected by either HMB supplement or exercise. Body fat was lower in HMB and HMB + exercise compared with the control group at week 12. The glucose response to glucose preload was lower in HMB and HMB + exercise groups compared with control at week 12. No effect of either HMB or exercise on systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse was observed.     Conclusion: The results of this study support the beneficial effects of HMB supplements on body composition and glucose metabolism. However, the HMB supplement did not have any additional effect when combined with an exercise regimen.

A Review on E-Learning During Covid-19 Pandemic Situation
Authors: Moran-Suarez Sofia
Published: July 2022

As a result of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in Mexico, there has been a pressing need to rethink how pupils receive their education. Students were required to keep a social distance from their peers and families, but they also had to adapt to online study. To avoid the spread of the dangerous disease, remote learning has become the standard. Educators around the world were obliged to transition to online instruction, particularly at the university level, due to the unexpected spread. There are some pupils that are open to the idea of online education. It's true that some people have reservations about the transition from traditional to online learning. There appear to be a number of ways in which educators might contribute to improving the quality and efficiency of virtual education. The following are summaries of a number of publications discussing ways to improve online teaching and learning. In the vast majority of studies, it has been shown that adapting to remote learning was a wise decision. However, a study found that some students dislike online learning because of personal and technological concerns. The stress and worry that students experience as a result of distance learning is another concern. According to current studies, online learning may also have psychological effects in conjunction with a difficult learning process. It highlights significant academic articles, recognizes ideas, and points to areas in need of additional research.
Of Parole and Public Emergencies: Why the Victorian Charter Override Provision Should Be Repealed
Authors: Debeljak Julie
Published: July 2022

This article examines the override provision under the Victorian Charter. Relevantly, Parliament has used the override on two occasions regarding laws enacted to prevent parole being granted to prisoners except in extremely limited circumstances. Conversely, Parliament responded to the COVID-19 threat without resorting to temporarily suspending the Charter via an override. This article analyses the parole-setting uses of the override within the international context of the temporary suspension of rights, against the Charter mechanisms that allow for restrictions on rights, and against the principles underlying the Charter – the retention of parliamentary sovereignty and the creation of an inter-institutional dialogue about rights. These uses test the transparency of and accountability for rights-limiting decision-making, and the culture of justification the dialogue is supposed to engender. By way of contrast and conclusion, the article highlights the curiosity between the use of the override with parole legislation and the non-use of the override with COVID-19 legislation, and revisits the case to repeal the override.
Renovating the Orthodox Theory of Australian Territorial Sovereignty
Authors: Lavery Daniel
Published: July 2022

Mabo v Queensland [No 2] opened for re-examination the fundamental principles underpinning the colonial foundations of Australia, stating the native title of Indigenous peoples could survive the assertions of territorial sovereignty by Great Britain. Finding their territories were ‘sovereign’-less because they were ‘backward peoples’, an original, plenipotent sovereignty swept across the 3,000,000 square kilometres of ‘New South Wales’ on 7 February 1788, and across the balance of continental Australia in 1824 and 1829. This orthodox theory of sovereignty was unchallenged until Members of the Yorta Yorta Aboriginal Community v Victoria in 2002, where the High Court stressed the traditional laws and customs sourcing these native titles must be housed in pre-existing yet vital normative systems which likewise survived the assertions of sovereignty. Each native title determination thus acknowledges an Indigenous society whose laws and customs are sourced outside of the formal constitutional framework. The orthodox theory needs renovating in order to achieve a legally congruent and historically coherent framework.
Regulating Volunteer Directors’ Duties in Companies Registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission
Authors: Nel de Koker Jeanne
Published: July 2022

Australian directors, whether volunteering or serving a commercial or charitable company, have similar legal responsibilities and exposure to personal liability for unintentional mistakes. In 1991, the Supreme Court of Victoria awarded $97 million, equivalent to almost $200 million today, against a volunteer director of a not-for- profit charitable company. More recently, the Federal Court imposed a $90,000 penalty on a former Tennis Australia director, Harold Mitchell. Should volunteer charity directors and their fee-earning corporate counterparts be subject to the same legal duties, obligations and liability exposure? This article considers the potential impact of the 2018 Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (‘ACNC’) Legislation Review Recommendation 11, that the statutory directors’ duties in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) be turned ‘back on’ for directors of ACNC registered charitable companies, with specific reference to individual directors, charities, and the regulation of the charity sector. It cautions against regulatory changes that impose unrealistic compliance obligations and complexity that could do significant long-term damage to the sector.

Pharmacovigilance: Significance and challenges
Authors: Brahmbhatt Shruti , Rajput Mahavirsingh
Published: July 2022

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Pharmacovigilance as the science & activities relating to detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug related problem. The National Pharmacovigilance Programme (NPVP) was launched in 2004 with World Bank funding till 2009, which was renamed as Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI). With advancement in the field of science and technology, India is emerging as a hub for clinical trials and new drug development, which challenges the monitoring of safety concerns in the use of new drugs. It has been difficult to identify or track the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) that occur in the patients due to polypharmacy, use of over the counter (OTC) preparations, change in physician etc. Hence the national programme has gained importance in our country off late. Yet it is observed that the importance of this programme is not realized by all health care professionals. Therefore, to support & strengthen the national programme which aims to identify, report & analyze the identified ADRs, it would be essential to sensitize the health care professionals through various means & faculty development programmes.

Published: July 2022

Backgrounds: Autoantibodies against C1q are strongly linked to immune-complex disorders like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Although anti-C1q antibodies have received much interest in the recent years, their biological functions remain unclear. Aim and objectives: The main aim of this study was to analyze the phenotype of systemic lupus erythematosus at first presentation and during follow-up at Qena university hospital. Subjects and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Qena university hospital. The study was conducted on 100 systemic lupus erythematosus patients. Results: Regarding the relation between lupus activity and anti-C1q antibody we found that there were highly statistically significant differences between lupus activity groups according to anti-C1q antibody. We also found that there were highly statistically significant differences between lupus activity groups according to anti-C1q with highly increasing in anti-C1q in patients with lupus activity when comparing with patients without lupus activity. Conclusion: Anti-C1q antibodies were strongly associated with lupus disease activity in SLE patients, suggesting that it may be a reliable, sensitive and non-invasive serological marker for identification of SLE patients with active SLE disease.

Published: July 2022

The cross-linking chitosan modified by citric acid has been studied for sorption of U(VI) from aqueous solution in a bath system. The effects of parameters such as pH, initial U(VI) concentration, contact time and temperature on the sorption of U(VI) were analyzed using response surface methodology (RSM). The Minitab was used to conduct the regression analysis and the analysis of nvariance of the U(VI) adsorption by modified chitosan. The U(VI) concentration of 100 mg/L, pH 4.2, temperature of 313 K and contact time of 211 min were determined as optimum conditions for U(VI) adsorption by acid citric grafted chitosan (C-GCh). The maximum efficiency of U(VI) removal by CGCh was 97,35 % at the optimum sorption conditions. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG, ΔH, ΔS for U(VI) adsorption process in aqueous solution were also determined.
A Critical Review of the Applications and AI Techniques for Anomaly Detection
Authors: Chalhoub Sidny
Published: July 2022

In the process of analysing data, outlier detection (i.e., anomaly detection or novelty identification) is often misinterpreted to an identification of rare observations, occurrence or an item, which deviates highly from enormous data and never conforms to well- defined ideologies of a normal behaviour. The samples could stimulate more suspicion of being produced from various techniques, or appear unpredictable with the remaining portion of the specific dataset. Anomaly detection draws application in different domains such as neuroscience, statistics, machine vision, medicine, financial fraud, law enforcement and cyber security. The data that has been collected from real-life applications are rapidly increasing in dimension and size. As the aspect of dimensionality keeps increasing, data items become significantly sparse, amounting to an identification of variances becoming problematic. In addition, more conventional approaches for anomaly detection cannot function in a proper manner. In this paper, we have evaluated the applications and methods of anomaly detection.
Donne e Regimi. Differenti storie e tanti tratti comuni
Authors: D'Amico Marilisa
Published: July 2022

The paper focuses on women’s condition in totalitarian regimes, in the light of the principles of the Italian Constitution. To this end, the paper will examine three main aspects. Firstly, the analysis will focus on the condition of women during the Nazi and Fascist totalitarian regimes. The proposed historical and legal reconstruction aims at identifying some key traits featuring the condition of women in the context of totalitarian regimes: the exclusion of women from the labour market and, more broadly, from the public sphere; the propaganda of an ideal-type of woman; the segregation of minority women (e.g. prostitutes, homosexuals, women with disabilities); the creation of masses of refugees fleeing regimes. Secondly, the paper will hinge on the Italian Constitution, that promoted a vision in clear rupture with the previous fascist regime with regard to women’s condition and to the strong protection granted to people fleeing regimes set forth under Article 10, paragraph 3 of the Italian Constitution.  At the outset, the paper aims at reflecting on the current system of human rights protection in light of the 2021 takeover of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, by way of underlying the specifics of the actual status of Afghan women

Incorporating instructional design to pre-service online teaching English as a Foreign Language in Moodle.
Authors: Velasco Zárate Kalinka , Contreras Hernández Roger
Published: July 2022

Implementing virtual ﬁeld experiences for online language learning has long been recommended as part of an early English language teachers’ preparation, by authors like Compton and more recently Ottenbreit-Leftwich et al. This article reports a case study whose general objective was to obtain theoretical and practical experience elements, for the design and implementation of a didactic sequence for online teaching of English as a foreign language (EFL), B1 level in a course hosted in Moodle. A preliminary research cycle, where a group of experts in online learning was interviewed (n=11), helped a pre-service teacher to do further documentary research to learn about the concept of instructional design. The result was designing and implementing a didactic sequence for a university English language course following David Merrill’s Model of instructional design. This way the pre-service language teacher identified and practiced the necessary knowledge and basic skills for online language learning and teaching via Moodle, as well as the interactions and roles that were promoted. Finally, awareness was also raised about the need of incorporating content and activities that better account for the needs posed by different ability levels in the classroom.
Rekviem egy ágazatért – a fogyasztóvédelmi igazgatás alakváltozatai

Why should we integrate income and employment support?
Authors: Asenjo Antonia , Escudero Verónica , Liepmann Hannah. ,   International Labour Organization. Research Department.
Published: July 2022

The integration of active labour market policies within income support schemes – such as unemployment insurance and social assistance – has been a key component of social protection in high-income countries since the 1990s, with a rich literature reviewing its effects and implementation characteristics. More recently, this approach has spread beyond high-income economies, and is prominent today in many middle-income economies. Yet, despite the increasing adoption of integrated approaches, their conceptual and practical applications have not been studied in detail outside of high-income countries. This paper conceptualizes, for the first time, the implementation of integrated approaches, focusing on low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). We first develop a conceptual framework to understand how integrated policies can address labour market challenges, exploring the theoretical effects they exert on selected labour market and social dimensions. We then contrast these theoretical expectations with findings from the empirical literature on the effectiveness of integrated approaches. While many empirical studies find positive effects across different labour market dimensions, this is evidently not always the case. To reconcile this discrepancy, we investigate the design and implementation of integrated approaches across LMIC and identify factors which contribute to their effectiveness.

Published: July 2022

Insulin Resistance is a pathophysiological function of Type II Diabetes Mellitus which can be comprehended by quantifying the parameters critical in the insulin signaling pathway. Serum has a profound role in evaluating cellular growth and metabolism in vitro. The growth factors present in serum such as IGF, EGF, FGF affects the regulatory components of insulin signaling pathway that leads to insulin resistance. This study explores the effect of growth factors present in Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) in insulin signaling and endothelium regulation in endothelial cells (Ea. hyp926). The dose-dependent and time-dependent treatment of FBS on the cells displayed changes that were detected by MTT and 2-NBDG assays for assessing cell viability and glucose uptake. Spectrophotometric analysis of nitric oxide (NO) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) determined vascular homeostasis and no cytotoxic effects of serum, respectively, in endothelial cells. These findings indicate that FBS at higher levels could possibly lead to loss of NO activity which in turn could impair endothelium-mediated dilation. The inhibition of enzymatic activity of eNOS may activate the release of LDH in endothelial cells. In conclusion, our findings indicate a specific concentration of serum enhances insulin signaling and endothelium cell regulation by modulating glucose uptake and NO production.

Authors: Selim Mohammad , Sinha Anant , Mandal Lopamudra , Modak Purab , Behera Joshil
Published: July 2022

Background: Peer review is one of the cornerstones of sound scientific publication. When a paper is submitted to a journal, after an initial assessment, the editor sends the article to reviewers with similar research experiences for comprehensive comments.

Aims and Objectives: In this article, we aimed to analyze the pattern of peer review by the reviewers in the physiology domain from India as found in publons.com.

Materials and methods: We searched https://publons.com and clicked on “Browse” to search the profile of “Researchers.” The research field was selected as “Physiology” and the country as “India.” A total of 158 profiles were found with the search criteria. The number of publications, citations, peer review, H-index, and the editorial record was obtained for further analysis. The number of the peer review was tested with the number of publications and citations for any existing correlation.

Results: Among the 158 researchers in the physiology domain, an average verified review was 8.09 ± 32.12 and an average number of publications were 15.7 ± 31.1. Their number of citations was 359.75 ± 1296.24 with an average H-index of 4.15 ± 7.85. There was a significant positive correlation with peer review versus number of publication (0.39 [95% CI: 0.24 to 0.51], P < 0.0001) and peer review versus number of citation (0.26 [95% CI: 0.11 to 0.41)], P = 0.0008).

Conclusion: Peer reviewers in the physiology domain from India have contributed by reviewing an average of 8 peer reviews. However, many of the profiles showed zero contribution. More publications and more citations would expose the researchers to a wider audience worldwide, including the editors. Hence, they would get peer review requests.

Published: July 2022

Background: E-learning or electronic learning is a popular modality to address the educational needs of a population. In the context of medical education, E-learning is useful but has its limitations.

Aim and Objectives: This study was conducted among 2-year MBBS students of a Government Medical College in South India to know their knowledge, attitude, and practice of E-learning and also to learn from their experiences during the COVID pandemic.

Materials and Methods: After obtaining informed consent, students were asked to fill up a questionnaire containing 15 questions in Google Forms and submit it.

Results: This study shows that more than 70% of students consider themselves capable of using computers for everyday activities. They also reported using search engines and online animations for updated medical information. However, they preferred their course content to be delivered through blended learning, a combination of classroom and E-learning. The students reported poor internet connectivity as a major limitation in E-learning. They also suggested having a separate website for each college where the teaching material can be uploaded by the faculty and can be accessed by all the students of the institution.

Conclusion: From this study, it can be concluded that a majority of students have good knowledge and are already using E-learning modalities. They are also open to the idea of blended learning for clinical cases.

Published: July 2022

Background: Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis has become more prevalent worldwide and is often associated with a poor prognosis. Numerous guidelines highlighted surgical interventions as treatment for carotid artery stenosis, but only a few recommendations were made regarding non-surgical interventions due to its limited data.
Aims: This study aims to develop a mice model for research in non-surgical interventions of asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis.
Methods: Adult male Rattus Norvegicus, Wistar strain models with bilateral asymptomatic common carotid artery stenosis (BACAS) were created by ligating the common carotid artery with a 0.6 mm diameter needle and then removing the needle. The mice’s body weight, clinical signs and symptoms, and post-mortem brain analysis were compared between the sham-operated group and the BACAS group. Results: The mortality rate among BACAS group is 11.11%. There is no significant difference in mean body weight before surgery, after the observation period, and percentage of weight decrease between sham-operated and BACAS groups (p=0.710, 0.632, and 0.806, respectively). None of the surviving mice in this study exhibit signs of motor paralysis. Gross examination of the brain reveals no signs of infarction or hemorrhage.
Conclusion: We have established a novel BACAS mouse model which is cost-efficient, easy to produce, and with no significant alteration in body weight, clinical parameters, and brain morphology.

Published: July 2022

Toplumsal gelişim ve etkileşimler ile yaşam alanları sürekli bir değişim geçirmektedir. Tarım uygulamalarıyla başlayan bu değişim sanayi devrimiyle doğal çevreyi olumsuz yönde etkilemeye başlamıştır. Kaynakların bilinçsizce tüketimi, kentlere göçlerin artması çeşitli çevre sorunlarının ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Özellikle kentleşmeyle birlikte oluşan yollar ve yapılaşmayla artan geçirimsiz yüzeyler, doğal peyzaj yapısının bozulmasına, kent içerisindeki doğal su döngüsünün kırılmasına ve hatta önemli habitatların yok olmasına, sonuç olarak iklimin değişmesine neden olmuştur. Kentleşme ve nüfus artışlarının devamıyla birlikte iklim değişikliğinin insan yaşamı üzerinde etkileri büyük olacaktır. Bu çalışma, iklim değişikliğinin Samsun iline etkilerini değerlendirmek amacıyla yürütülen doktora çalışmasına ek olarak iklim değişikliğine yönelik farkındalığın da değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Özellikle iklim değişikliğinin etkileri, sonuçları ve toplumsal bilincin oluşmasına yönelik konular üzerinden üniversite öğrencilerinin görüşleri alınmıştır. 28 sorudan oluşan bir anket çalışması hazırlanmış; Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Mimarlık Fakültesi Mimarlık, Şehir ve Bölge Planlama Bölümlerinde eğitim alan birinci-dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerinden gönüllülük esasına bağlı olarak yapılmıştır. Geleceğin planlama ve tasarım alanlarında görev alacak mimar, şehir bölge plancısı adaylarının yaşadıkları kenti nasıl algıladıkları, iklim değişikliği etkileri ve nedenlerine yönelik düşünceleri, etkilerin azaltılmasına yönelik çalışmaları nasıl takip ettikleri, toplum bilinçlendirmesine yönelik yapılan çalışmalara bakış açıları, yaşadıkları bölgenin etkilenebilirliğine ilişkin düşünceleri değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, genel farkındalığın erken yaşlarda oluşmaya başladığı, üniversite öğrenimiyle birlikte iklim değişikliğine yönelik bilgi ve eğitimlerinin geliştiği, öğrenilen bilginin yüksek oranda yakınlarına aktarıldığı, toplumsal bilincin iklim değişikliğinde ne kadar önemli olduğu, bunun yerel yönetimlerin denetim mekanizmasının kurması ve gerekli yasal düzenlemelerle sağlayabileceği, iklim değişikliğiyle mücadelede hala geç kalınmadığı düşünüldüğü görülmüştür.
