Role of Notch Signaling in Ciliated Cells of the Airway Epithelia
Authors: Khare Myra , Joy Ms. Neenu
Published: September 2022

Abstract: Multiciliated cells of airway epithelium are terminally differentiated cells which are involved in the mucociliary clearance and trapping pathogens and particulate matter. Previous works have shown the transdifferentiation of secretory club cells to ciliated cells upon inhibition of Notch signaling. But, none of the existing literature reports presence or role of Notch signaling in multiciliated cells of airway epithelium. Immunostaining for Notch Intracellular Domain (NICD) revealed the presence of Notch signaling in multiciliated cells of the airway. The basic aim of this paper is to understand whether there is a role of Notch signaling in ciliated cells, by doing a cell autonomous ablation of Notch in this particular cell type using FOXJ1 CreErtm/+ RBPJkflox/flox animals. We didn’t observe any obvious change in cellular architecture of lung or any difference in club or ciliated cell numbers.

Published: September 2022

Abstract: Concrete is the world’s most versatile, durable and reliable construction material. Next to water, concrete is the most used material, which required large quantities of Portland Cement. Ordinary Portland Cement production is the major generator of carbon di oxide, which polluted the atmosphere. In addition to that large amount energy was also consumed for the cement production. Hence, it is essential to find an alternative material to the existing most expensive, most resource consuming Portland Cement.The study describes experimental investigation on flexural behavior of reinforced GPC. A total of eighteen beams were tested. From this, nine were of M20 mix, i.e., conventional concrete beams while nine were of geopolymer concrete,from this nine beams, three beams with the ratio of binder i.e., flyash:GGBS ratio as 75:25, other three with 70:30 while remaining three beams with 65:35. Also, 12 cubes & 12 cylinders were also casted and tested for compressive strength and split tensile strength respectively. From them, three were of conventional concrete while other nine of GPC with three different ratios as mentioned above. The reinforcement was designed considering a balanced section for the expected characteristic strength. All the beam specimens were tested under two point static loading. The studies demonstrated, the study of conventional and geopolymer concrete beams related to deflection, first load at which crack appeared and their crack patterns.

In learning English, speaking aspect has an important role when communicating. The development of children's language skills underlies the ability to read. Tthe more they read, the easier it will be for children to understand writing, and the more fluent their speaking skills will be. However, in developing their English speaking, children have difficulty because of the limited vocabulary. Heving difficulty in expressing ideas and lack of courage to speak because they are afraid of being wrong are factors that prevent children from speaking English well. In addition to the factors mentioned above, internal factors, such as the lack of seriousness of children in learning English itself as well as inadequate learning methods and lack of media are obstacles for children in learning English. This is felt by the children of TPA RT 004/RW 04 Pabuaran Tumpeng Tangerang. The low interest in reading in the environment where they live is the basis for the lack of development of language skills, especially English. Therefore, the Community Service team (PKM) Universitas Pamulang (UNPAM) offers a problem solution in the form of teaching English with the method of storytelling by using digital media with illustrated stories in English. From the results of the PKM activities at Taman Alquran Pabuaran Tumpeng with a series of activities, it seems that the children are happy, interested, and active. If proves that the use of storytelling method through pictures can improve children's English speaking skills.

SIMPLIFIED MODEL FOR DETERMINING THE STRESS-STRAIN STATE IN MASSIVE MONOLITHIC FOUNDATION SLABS DURING CONSTRUCTION
Authors: Chepurnenko Anton , Nesvetaev Grigory , Koryanova Yuliya , Yazyev Batyr
Published: September 2022

The article proposes the simplified method for determining stresses in massive monolithic foundation slabs arising from the heat release of concrete during the hardening process. The proposed technique makes it possible to reduce a three-dimensional problem to a one-dimensional one based on the features of the distribution of stresses and strains in the structures under consideration, identified during finite element modeling in a three-dimensional setting. The resulting resolving equations take into account the creep and shrinkage of concrete, the coefficient of reinforcement of the structure. The strength and deformation characteristics of concrete are assumed as functions of the degree of maturity of the concrete, which in turn is determined by the time and temperature of curing. Approbation of the developed model is carried out by comparison with the calculation in a three-dimensional setting in the ANSYS software package. The influence of creep and contraction shrinkage of concrete, the degree of concrete maturity and the coefficient of reinforcement on the stress-strain state of structures is investigated.

Published: September 2022

Introduced in 2018 the generalized bifractional Brownian motion is considered as an element of the quasi-helix with approximately stationary increment class of real centered Gaussian processes conditioning by parameters. This paper proves that the generalized bifractional Brownian motion is an element of the above mentioned class with no condition on parameters. The quasi-helix with approximately stationary increment class of real centered Gaussian processes is extended to two-dimensional processes as the fractional Brownian sheet, the sub-fractional Brownian sheet, and the bifractional Brownian sheet. This generalized presentation of the class of stochastic processes is used to augment the training samples for generative adversarial networks in computer vision problem.
FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS FOR THIN-WALLED MEMBER SUBJECTED TO COMBINED LOADING
Authors: Galishnikova Vera , Gebre Tesfaldet
Published: September 2022

Thin-walled structures are widely used in various structural engineering applications due to their advantage of high bearing strength when compared to self-weight and used in a complex loading situation where subjected to combined loadings. When a thin-walled section is subjected to a combined load with restrained torsion, they are ineffective at resisting, resulting in a reduction in beam capacity due to torsion and additional warping stresses. A finite element calculation can be used to analyze a 3D bar of thin-walled structural sections. Different commercial software and studies commonly consider six degrees of freedom at each node of a member for a space frame without considering the effect of warping restraint at the member's ends. This paper presents a finite element calculation for thin-walled sections with restrained torsion using the 14x14 member stiffness matrix, which includes warping as an additional degree of freedom and is commonly used for open thin-walled sections. In this study, we considered two different methods for including the additional degree of freedom for the stiffness matrix, which are very close to each other for small values of characteristics number.

This paper explains the disharmony of intra-Islamic religious life at the women Majelis Ta’lim in Aceh. Majelis Ta’lim as one of the local wisdoms in Aceh which is still practiced as a community school that educates women/mothers in the community. This should be able to become a pillar that strengthens the peaceful role of women. However, this becomes difficult, because of there is disharmony situation in religious interactions in the women's  Majelis Ta’lim. Whereas the peaceful energy possessed by women should be maximized to build intra-Islamic religious harmony. This study used a qualitative approach, using data collection techniques through interviews, observations and FGDs. The results of the study showed that there were three issues of disharmony experienced by women in the Majelis Ta’lim. They were 1) the immature attitude in responding to various differences in practice among members of PERTI, NU and Muhammadiyah, 2) the resistance of women's groups to the presence of salafi/Wahabi groups, which according to them, had taught a different understanding of religion and were not familiar with their religious understanding, and 3) the emergence of competition between the followers of the Teungku Majelis Ta’lim, both in terms of teaching substance and in terms of popularity, which caused disharmony.Keywords : disharmony, majelis, ta’lim, women

M-UNet for Segmentation of Brain Images
Authors: Saro Vijendran Anna , Ramasamy Kalaivani
Published: September 2022

A mass or progress of unusual cells in the brain is termed as brain tumor. Several categories of brain tumors occur in human. Certain types of brain tumors are non-cancerous which is indicated as benign, whereas certain brain tumors are cancerous, called malignant. In this paper, images are segmented using Modified- Universal Education and Training, Ltd. (M-UNet). The main aim is to investigate network architectures (MUNet) based on deep learning which is used for enhanced classification and segmentation of brain tumor images. Segmentation of brain cancer images is the procedure of splitting the tumor from usual brain muscles; in medical routine, it offers valuable information for analysis and treatment planning. It is still a complex job due to the asymmetrical arrangement and perplexing borders of tumors. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Universal Education and Training, Ltd.(UNet) are considered to be notable techniques in segmentation of images. The concept of CNN is a dominant technique for recognition of images and forecasts. CNN is typically utilized for brain cancer separation, classification, and estimate of existence period for infected people. UNet is a familiar image separation method established mainly for analyzing clinical images that can exactly divide images using an unusual quantity of preparation facts. These qualities make UNet efficient in clinical imaging forum and support wide-ranging implementation of UNet in performing separation jobs in therapeutic imaging. M-UNet is recommended in this paper to slice the given input images in a well-defined manner. Experimental results have shown that the proposed M-UNet achieves accuracy of 97% which is notably better when compared to the existing CNN and UNet techniques. The results are also compared based on Dice Coefficient, Jaccard Coefficient and time period. It is evident that the M-UNet outperforms the existing techniques on all assessment parameters. A novel frame work using M-UNet that includes extraction of both global and local features is proposed to increase the segmentation accuracy. The outcomes show better performance in segmenting the 5 tumor areas on the huge BRATs 2018 dataset. The performance of the network is assessed by comparing the forecast segmentation of tumor areas to the ground truth offered by the dataset. Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) and Jaccard Coefficient (JC) give the like nessamid the anticipated tumor area and ground truth by associating the overlay areas. In this paper, brain image segmentation is performed using UNet and M-UNet methods and the proposed method efficiently predicts the border of then segmentation pixel..

Aum-Ma-Rit recipe (R-AMR), a traditional Thai drug, has been recorded for treatment of GI disorders for several decades. It has been clinically applied as a complementary treatment for taking care of colon cancer patients. However, there are no scientific studies to confirm its traditional use. Therefore, this study was aimed to primarily screen biological properties of RAMR on anti-oxidation as well as anticancer against HT-29 human colon cancer. The recipe with and without tamarind as an aqueous adjuvant was extracted using two types of solvents, water and ethanol. Total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of all tested extracts were evaluated. LC-MS/MS was also performed. DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, and ORAC scavenging assays were used to measure an in vitro antioxidant activity and the property of extracts on killing HT-29 human colon cancer cells was investigated using MTT assay. The result revealed that all sample extracts were composed of a huge source of phenolic and flavonoid. RAMR2.2 possessed an intense antioxidant property against DPPH (17.45 ± 0.3 µg/ml), ABTS (4.04 ±0.01 µg/ml), FRAP (6859.26 ± 0.00 µM of FeSO4 equivalent/mg of extract), ORAC (334.06 ± 18.52 µM of trolox equivalent/mg of extract), and also inhibiting lipid peroxidation (88.78 ± 1.11 %). MTT assay revealed that extracts have no cytotoxic effects on HT-29 human colon cancer cells. R-AMR had a strong ability on anti-oxidation even if it had less cytotoxic effects on HT-29. Therefore, the current study exhibited that the recipe may act as a chemopreventive agent for taking care of cancer patients.

COVID-19 first emerged in late 2019 in Wuhan, a city in the Hubie Province of China. Typical COVID-19 symptoms include fever, shortness of breath, and cough, whereas less common symptoms involve sudden onset of ageusia and or anosmia, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. The primary objective was to compare the severity of symptoms among individuals infected with COVID-19 who have been vaccinated and those who have not. The second objective is to describe individuals' post-vaccination side effects and complaints to understand Saudis' aversion to vaccinations. This is a cross-sectional study among residents of Saudi Arabia including Saudis and non-Saudis. An online questionnaire was distributed via several social media channels. Univariate analysis was used to compare respondents' demographic, COVID-19 infection, and post-vaccination characteristics. Bivariate associations were assessed using Chi-square . Adjacent categories logit model was used to compare severity reported levels and COVID-19 related and demographic factors. A total of 1,432 respondents completed the survey. Most of the infected individuals were not immune at the time of infection and reported more than four symptoms. There was no significant association between vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals in terms of reporting COVID-19 severe infection. On the other hand, there were several significant predictors of reporting severe COVID-19 infection level as number of symptoms, hospitalization, gender, marital status, and education attainment. Men are more likely to report severe COVID-19 complications. Participants who hold a higher degree are more likely to report severe COVID-19 infection. Local side effects included pain, swelling, itchiness, warmth, and bruising at the site of the injection.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Leukemia is a malignant proliferation of lymphoid
cells blocked at an early stage of their differentiation that can invade
the bone marrow, blood, and extramedullary sites. It is due to an
underlying genetic alteration that affects many genes that encode
proteins and play a crucial role in developing lymphoid cells. The
study’s objective is to determine the role of the standard karyotype and
molecular biology for the diagnosis of ALL. Patients and
methods: We conducted a retrospective study over 13 years, between
January 2006 and December 2019, at the hemato-oncology unit at
Abderrahim Harouchi’s university children’s Hospital in Casablanca. All
the patients diagnosed with ALL de Novo during this period were included
in this study. Their data were collected from the oncology unit’s
registry, and the medical information were extracted from the files.
Statistical analysis was performed. Their results were discussed and
compared to the literature data in the diagnosis part. However, patients
who died before chemotherapy or were transferred to another facility
were excluded from the outcome analysis. Results We conducted a
retrospective study over 13 years, between January 2006 and December
2019, at the hemato-oncology unit at Abderrahim Harouchi’s university
children’s Hospital in Casablanca. An unsuccessful karyotype was
observed in 24.7%, whereas a successful karyotype was found in 75.3 %
of our patients. In the latter normal karyotype was observed in 54%,
and an abnormal one was retrieved in 46%. Numeral abnormalities were
found in 48% of the cases (especially hyperdiploidy). Structural
abnormalities were observed in 36% of the cases, and complex karyotype
in 16% of the cases. The relapse risk among patients with unsuccessful
standard karyotype after the first line of chemotherapy was higher than
in the group with a successful one. Discussion: Compared to the
literature, the findings contribute widely to the diagnosis of
successful karyotype and help to adjust the risk group, adapt the
treatment and improve the outcome in children with ALL. The unsuccessful
standard cytogenetic was observed with a significantly higher risk of
relapse and death in the statistical analysis in this group of patients.
Those results suggest the use of molecular cytogenetics such as FISH,
RT-PCR, and SKY to go beyond the limits imposed by the resolution of the
banding and reveal cryptic anomalies essentially in unsuccessful
standard cytogenetic cases to find out the underlying genetic
abnormality that might refine the diagnosis and improve the prognosis in
children with leukemia. Conclusion: Standard cytogenetics is
useful for the diagnosis and needs to be completed by molecular
cytogenetics to refine the diagnosis, especially in unsuccessful
cultures.

Authors: Alojayli Anas , Haloob Rahim
Published: September 2022

Objectives: The aim of the study is to identify the success rate of a
repeat cycle of induction of labour (IOL) with prostaglandins, and any
association between smoking and patient response to prostaglandin.
Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Basildon and Thurrock
University Hospital, UK. Sample: IOL data from patients at Basildon
University Hospital, between 01/01/2021 and 30/03/2021 were included.
Methods: Data were retrieved from hospital records and categorised by
prostaglandin cycle(s), administration of oxytocin, artificial rupture
of membranes (ARM), spontaneous rupture of membranes (SROM), smoking
status, patient BMI, age, ethnicity, gestation age, Bishop score, and
delivery method (assisted, unassisted, or Caesarean (C-)section). The
data were analysed using chi-square, binomial and multinomial logistic
regression. Main Outcome Measures: Success rate was interpreted from
relative frequencies of delivery method (unassisted, assisted or
C-section). Results: Unassisted vaginal delivery (n =121; 48.0%) was
the most common outcome with prostaglandin IOL followed by C-section (n
= 105 41.7%). Only 10.3% had an assisted vaginal delivery. Of those
who had a repeated IOL cycle, 85.7% had a C-section. There was no
difference in prostaglandin administration by smoking status or any
association between smoking status and mode of delivery in IOL.
Conclusion: Repeat cycle of IOL does not enhance the vaginal delivery
with only 14.3% unassisted vaginal births. There was no evidence that
smoking impacted on response to prostaglandins or method of delivery.
Funding: There was no funding for this study. Keywords: artificial
rupture of membranes; C-section; repeat induction of labour; spontaneous
rupture of membranes; Unassisted vaginal delivery.

Objective To test whether A-PACs in cranberry juice have an anti-Candida
effect in the vagina of women. Design An open, randomized, parallel
design study. Setting West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University
in China. Population 300 women with Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).
Methods At baseline, all patients were randomly divided into three
groups. Patients in Group1 were treated with standard antifungal
therapy; Patients in Group2 received oral Azmasol® (cranberry juice)
16ml daily for 6 days based on the treatment regimen of Group1; Patients
in Group3 were given oral Azmasol® 16ml daily for 6 days and vaginal
Miconazole suppository 400mg at bedtime for 3 days. Patients who were
clinically cured at 7th day follow-up in Group2 received maintenance
therapy by oral Azmazol® 8ml every day. Main Outcome Measures The
clinical cure rate and disease-free survival were the primary outcomes,
and the secondary outcomes included microbiological eradication rates
and symptom scores. Results At the 7th day follow-up, both the clinical
cure rate in group 2 and group 3 were not-inferior to group 1. Cox
regression analysis showed maintenance therapy was not significantly
associated with short-term recurrence (HR 0.44 [0.11–1.67]; P=0.23)
but significantly associated with long-term recurrence (HR 0.57
[0.33–0.99]; P<0·05). Conclusions A-PACs in cranberry

Cardiac involvement of hydatid cyst disease is a rare presentation but
may lead to life-threatening complications such as cyst rupture and
should be treated surgically A 10-year-old male patient with cranial and
complicated cardiac hydatid cyst disease lesions that caused lower
extremity peripheral arterial occlusion and aneurysmatic dilatation in
the left ventricular apex is presented. Although the patient was in the
pediatric age group, the Dor procedure was successfully applied to
preserve the ventricular geometry. The Dor procedure for a ventricular
aneurysm caused by a cardiac hydatid cyst was rarely applied in the
pediatric age group. Inconclusion, this case differs from other cardiac
hydatid cysts previously reported in the literature due to the advanced
stage of the disease, atypical clinical presentation, and rare
complications despite the young age of the case. The surgical method
used in treating the patient makes the subject more interesting.

Published: September 2022

Increasing rice yield has always been one of the primary objectives of
rice breeding. However, panicle degeneration, a complex phenomenon
regulated by many genetic and environmental factors, often occurs in
rice-growing regions and severely curbs rice yield. In this study, we
obtained a new apical panicle degeneration mutant named ym48, which
induces a marked degeneration rate and diminishes the final grain yield.
Cellular and physiological analyses revealed that the apical panicle in
ym48 undergoes programmed cell death, accompanied by excessive
accumulations of peroxides. Following, the panicle degeneration gene
OsCAX1a was identified, which was involved in Ca2+ transportation in the
ym48 mutant. In OsCAX1a, a relative conserved T to A substitution was
noted at the 64th amino acid, which disrupted Ca2+ transport.
Hydroponics assays and Ca2+ quantification confirmed that Ca2+
transportation and distribution to apical tissues were restricted and
over-accumulated in mutant sheath. RNA-Seq data indicated that the
abnormal CBLs (calcineurin b-like proteins) pathway mediated by Ca2+
might occurred in mutant, resulting in the burst of ROS. In general,
Ca2+ deficiency in the apical panicle of ym48 mediated by OsCAX1a
stimulated the peroxide accumulation and led to the programmed cell
death, finally resulted to panicle degeneration. Our results explained
the key role of OsCAX1a in Ca2+ transportation and distribution and laid
a foundation to further explore the genetic and molecular mechanisms of
panicle development and differentiation in rice.

Published: September 2022

Background The Organ Care System (OCS) is a revolutionary ex
vivo organ perfusion technology that can potentially expand the organ
retrieval range. The OCS Lung device uses packed red blood cells (pRBC)
with a proprietary solution. We report the ability to reduce blood waste
during this procedure by using a thermal packaging solution in
conjunction with the OCS platform. Methods We retrospectively
reviewed all OCS Lung recoveries performed by our recovery team, using
packed red blood cells (pRBC) from May 2019 to January 2021. Initially,
units were stored using passive refrigeration with the Performance
cooler at a temperature range of 1 to 6 °C for 4 hours. Subsequently,
thermal control technology with the ProMed cooler was utilized to
maintain the same temperature range for 72 hours. Results
Twenty-three recoveries were initiated with 63 pRBC. The Performance
cooler was used for eight while the ProMed cooler for thirteen. 37.5%
of pRBC transported with the Performance cooler was used within the
validated time range, while 25.0% were used beyond the validated time
range based on clinical judgment. In addition, 37.5% of pRBC
transported with the Performance cooler were returned to the institution
after canceled recoveries with an estimated loss of $1,800; the ProMed
cooler had no wastage. Conclusions This study showed that using
an advanced thermal packaging solution facilitates proper storage of
pRBC and represents an advancement for extended donor lung preservation.
The elimination of blood wastage in this initial study portends ongoing

Authors: Carapito Ana C. , Brás I. , Rocha Paula
Published: September 2022

In this paper, we consider switched systems that allow discontinuous
jumps in the state when switching occurs. In particular we analyze the
case where these jumps are dictated by a state reset rule. We show that
it is possible to study the state trajectories of a switched system with
state reset by means of some switched systems without state resets,
i.e., with continuous state trajectories. We establish some sufficient
conditions for stability of switched systems with state reset using the
associated systems without reset. The obtained results are used in
numerical examples to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
The Theorem of Union of Axiological Systems
Authors: Parra Luna Francisco , Caselles Antonio , Martinez de la Rosa Felix
Published: September 2022

It is known that all scientific knowledge, although always open and provisional, is presented as factual, precise, verifiable, predictive... as well as applicable or useful among other characteristics, which are precisely those that define the concept of "Theorem" as a "proposition" that is mathematically provable by means of axioms. A theorem is, then, a proposition whose truth is demonstrated, or any proposition that, starting from an axiomatic assumption, asserts a non-self-evident reasonableness (Lalande). For this reason, it would come to fulfill a role of "light" and "guide" in human activities, which is what the "Theorem of  Union of Axiological Systems” (TUAS)  proposed in this work, intends. In an ongoing development by the team of AVANCES SISTÉMICOS, this theorem will be applied, albeit exploratory, to the problem of the Russia-Ukraine war.
Bilateral Alive Tubal Ectopic Pregnancy and its Management
Authors: Lubna Khan
Published: September 2022

Ectopic pregnancy is an important cause of maternal mortality. Bilateral tubal pregnancies are rare; The reported incidence is only 1 in 200 000 pregnancies. Detecting bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy is urgent because of the associated morbidity and mortality1 The management of bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancies may be medical or surgical, and depends to a large extent on the state of the fallopian tubes at presentation. The main challenge being to identify and treat as early as possible .Risk factors for ectopic pregnancy comprises of previous ectopic pregnancy, tubal damage secondary to tubal surgery, Adhesions secondary to previous laparotomies, chronic infection and Endometriosis. Other nonspecific factors that might contribute to an increased risk are cigarette smoking, age more than 35 years, and use of Assisted reproductive technology( ovulation induction). Presentation to the health care services may varies widely from mild vaginal bleeding and lower back and abdominal pain to clinically unstable condition and shock due to ruptured ectopic and life threatening internal bleeding.
Violência estatal e persistentes atrocidades em torno da questão indígena no Brasil
Authors: Almeida Bruno Rotta , Sallet Bruna Hoisler
Published: September 2022

The article studies the violations perpetrated against indigenous peoples in Brazil. We seek to inquire to what extent the Brazilian State contributes to the genocide of indigenous peoples. The relevance of the research is due to the ongoing threatening posture of the State, which legitimizes human rights violations of indigenous peoples. The article is divided into five parts. Firstly, we track the development of knowledge about the indigenous issue. Secondly, we analyze the landscape of indigenous rights in the international and national legal-normative context. Thirdly, we aim to show the importance of memory as a category for studying atrocities. Fourthly, we analyze data and information about cruel acts practiced during the civil- military dictatorship. Lastly, we point to the key players in the state violence, and show how vulnerable indigenous peoples are in the face of continued cruel behavior on the part of the state. Our methodology is based on the deductive method, bibliographic review and documentary research.
A Igualdade como Problema, a Grandeza como Solução
Authors: Teixeira Carlos Sávio Gomes , Medeiros Tiago
Published: September 2022

The article deals with the issue of equality in contemporary political philosophy. The main purpose is to identify the current state of the academic debate, in which the issue is discussed, and to propose an alternative approach as a solution to the impasses that the main currents of thought around the subject have bequeathed to real politics. We first present the premises of what we call negationist criticism, a tradition of ideas with roots in European socialism that identifies the foundations of inequality in social structures and proposes agendas for total change in society. Next, we present the premises of social democratic neoliberalism, a broad body of ideas and practices that updated eighteenth and nineteenth century liberalism, in order to deal with the problem of inequality in light of the imperative of freedom and meritocracy. This allows for a lateral concern with the economic and social distortions to which redistributive and reparative intervention agendas are dedicated, without modifying the structures of social life. As an alternative to both prevailing paradigms, we hold what we call transformative institutionalism, which identifies inequality as a problem related to the structuring of original advantages in societies, whose therapeutics relies on institutional imagination, whereby changing structures becomes an issue of reorganizing existing institutional arrangements. The ultimate goal is to enable a chain reaction of transformations. This perspective is guided by the ideal of greatness, which, translated into real politics, means the aggrandizement of common people rather than an appeal to absolute equality or supreme freedom as values in themselves.
Association of 5,5′-Dibromo-o-Cresolsulfonphthalein Anions with Dye Cations in Aqueous Solution
Authors:   V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, 4 Svobody sq., 61022 Kharkiv, Ukraine, Shapovalov Serghiy
Published: September 2022

The formation of associates in aqueous solutions between single- or double-charged anions of 5,5′-dibromo-o-cresolsulfonphthaleine and single-charged cations of cyanine dyes (quinaldine blue, quinaldine red) has been considered. Based on the spectrophotometric data, the equilibrium constants of the association were analyzed. The energy of cation-anion interactions (standard enthalpy of formation of ions and associates) was determined by the semi-empirical AM1 method and probable structures of associates were set. The consistency between experimental spectrophotometric and calculated quantum chemical data is discussed.
