Authors: Alattar Saja Abdulhadi , Sukkar Khalid Ajmi , Alsaffar May Ali
Published: April 2023

In the ozonation process, the phenol degradation in wastewater undergoes a low mass transfer mechanism. In this study, ozonized packed bubble column reactor was designed and constructed to remove phenol. The reactor’s inner diameter and height were 150 and 8 cm, respectively. The packing height was kept constant at 1 m in accordance with the reactor hydrodynamics. The gas distributor was designed with 55 holes of 0.5 mm. The phenol removal efficiency was evaluated at ozone concentrations of 10, 15, and 20 mg/L, contact times of 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, and 120 min, and phenol concentrations of 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 mg/L. The results indicated that the highest phenol removal efficiency of 100% was achieved at 30 min in presence of packing. Moreover, the use of packing improved the contact between the gas and liquid, which significantly enhanced the phenol degradation. Actually, a thin film over a packing surface enhances the mass transfer. Also, it was found that the phenol is degraded into CO2 and H2O through a series of reaction steps. Additionally, a kinetic study of a first-order reaction provided an efficient estimation of reaction parameters with a correlation factor of 0.997.

Published: April 2023

The influence of poly(2-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (PDMAEMA) block on the thermo- and pH-responsive behavior of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)-block-poly[(2-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)] (PNIPAM-b-PDMAEMA) was studied. The block copolymers were synthesized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization by varying the chain length of the second block (PDMAEMA). 1H-NMR and FTIR spectra confirmed the formation of block copolymers PNIPAM21-b-PDMAEMA2 and PNIPAM21-b-PDMAEMA7 with the corresponding molar masses from the GPC data. Thermo- and pH-responsive behavior of block copolymers was investigated in phosphate buffer with various pHs. Interesting results showed that the hydrophilic carboxyl end group and the hydrophobic dodecyl end group of the RAFT agent affected the resulting phase transition temperature (Tc), while the Tc was found to be low in the acidic environment. Moreover, larger particle sizes of PNIPAM21‑b‑PDMAEMA2 were found with a pH of 9. It is noteworthy, that the resulted block copolymers might have the potential use in a drug delivery system.

Published: April 2023

Bioactive peptides play an important role in targeting cancer cells. Venom protein from Naja sumatrana can be explored as a source of bioactive peptides. This research aims to identify and study the molecular docking of bioactive peptides (BPs) from trypsin hydrolysate of N. sumatrana venom protein which was fractionated using an SPE C18 column. The venom of N. sumatrana was hydrolyzed with trypsin enzyme. The protein hydrolysate was then fractionated using an RP-SPE HyperSep Retain PEP column, and the peptide fractions were tested for their anticancer activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells using the (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. Identification of peptides in the active fraction was carried out through high-resolution mass spectrometry. The identified peptides were molecularly docked with the EGFR receptor using AutoDock Vina. The results showed that the degree of hydrolysis was 74.7%. The 75% methanol fraction is the active fraction against MCF-7 cells, with an IC50 value of 4.80 μg/mL and a selectivity index of 5.00. Peptide-active anticancer fractions with the sequence of NSLLVK, SSLLVK and TVPVKR were successfully identified and exhibited high binding affinity values, good RMSD values, and the most suitable model for the epidermal growth factor receptor.

Published: April 2023

Environmental consequences during the COVID-19 pandemic have attracted attention due to the excessive use of antibiotics which lead to the release of the drug's residue, such as amoxicillin (AMX), into the environment. In this work, an advanced oxidation process based on a visible, active N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst was carried out to eliminate AMX. Nitrogen with different initial doping concentrations (15, 30, 45% w/w) was doped into TiO2 by the sol-gel method. The characterization technique such as XRD, FTIR, UV-SRS, and SEM-EDX revealed that nitrogen with 30% doping concentration improved the TiO2 response in the visible region, attributed to the lower band gap energy (2.97 eV). In the photodegradation processes, the TiO2-N (30%) photocatalyst possessed higher AMX degradation than undoped TiO2 for both UV and visible light irradiation. In an aqueous solution, the degradation percentage of AMX by TiO2-N (30%) was 68.5 and 84.12%, while the degradation percentage of AMX by TiO2 was 38.7 and 78.01% under visible and UV light, respectively.
Violence, Its Roots, and How to Stop It
Authors: Avny Amos
Published: April 2023

The Essay opens with the claim that personal Aggression, Violence and Hostility became permanent visitors in our place. This sad situation was the main reason for writing this paper. Along a short historical review, the Author explains the difference between the former well-organized 20th Century and the current Chaotic world perception of the 21st Century. The Author further reminds that the 20th Century contained two World Wars, that killed tens million people and the Cold War, that had divided the world into two large blocs. Further, the essay explains that in this regard the current century is different. No-more big world-wide armed conflicts, but many end-less small disturbing disorders, violent and terror cases. The difference referred also to the personal prominence of the leaders of the wars. The eminence Winston Churchill—the great outstanding leader of the West, Joseph Stalin—the sadist Communist Dictator who killed tenths millions, and Adolf Hitler—the mentally-ill Tyrant of the Nazi regime who was a horrendous, barbaric and murderer of millions. Comparing to these leaders the nowadays villains and terrorists are sick, confused and weak persons who seek recognition. Abstract cut. The Author assumes that criminal Violence and Terror expand at present as result of three reasons: (1) The termination of political debates due to the political parties’ deterioration, (2) A wrong understanding of today’s developments, and (3) an erroneous feeling, about equality that causes much frustrations and lead to wrong expectations. The Author supports countries’ current initiative for fighting against present terrorists by establishing special Polce and Military units, which know the job, professionally and effectively.  However, for (a cut) improving the treatment of this sick phenomenon at the future, the Author emphasizes the need to collect reliable information about the relevant population and its personal weaknesses. At the end a six steps therapeutic program is proposed: (a cut), 1) Revealing and Building the Individual’s Inner-self, 2) Pursuing the “Meaning for life” as Life’s Goal, 3) Endorsing Collaboration and Togetherness, 4) Developing and Empowering the Self-esteem, 5) Recognizing and Accepting Social Heterogeneity, and 6) Sharing actively Social Rights and Commitments. Violence and Terrorism are like Malaria mosquitos, small, unseen but very dangerous. Decisiveness, Consistency and Determination are required for successfully eradicate them.

Reconfigurable Smart Water Quality Monitoring System in IOT Environment
Authors: Pranathi Banuri
Published: April 2023

Abstract: The quality of water refers to its suitability for different applications based on specific physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. Depending on its intended use, water may need to meet certain requirements, such as maximum levels of toxic substances for drinking water or specific temperature and pH ranges for supporting aquatic life. Therefore, water quality can be defined by various variables that limit water use. Balancing the demands of different users for quantity and quality often requires compromises when trying to improve or maintain a certain water quality.Preserving natural ecosystems is increasingly recognized as a crucial aspect of water quality management. These ecosystems are valuable for their intrinsic worth and also serve as sensitive indicators of changes or deterioration in overall water quality, providing useful additional information alongside physical, chemical, and other data.Wi-Fi is a wireless technology that uses radio frequency to transmit data through the air. With initial speeds of 1-2 Mbps, Wi-Fi transmits data in the frequency band of 2.4 GHz and uses frequency division multiplexing technology. Its range typically extends between 40-300 feet. In this project, a temperature sensor measures the water temperature, a pH sensor measures the pH level, and a turbidity sensor measures the amount of light scattered by suspended solids in the water. All three parameter values are continuously fed to a microcontroller and displayed on an LCD screen. If any value exceeds a preset threshold, a buzzer alerts the user. The microcontroller sends these measured values to the user's Android phone through a Wi-Fi module.

Published: April 2023

Abstract: Combining evolutionary algorithms with additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, new material approaches, in aerospace and industrial applications can result in advanced design procedures. This combination adds extra degrees of flexibility to the final design concept, enabling multifunctional designs. Aerospace, which is heavily focused on customised production, is a perfect fit for AM due to its effects on economies of scale and scope. These technologies are prepared to be included within the generative design process for safety-critical contexts, including the aerospace, thanks to novel structural materials and advanced AM processes. The three primary phases of conventional aircraft design are conceptual design, preliminary design, and detailed design. Multidisciplinary optimization processes are currently being developed to support designer in assessing the optimal solution. Generative Design is a novel form-finding process that takes into account structural performance, material properties and ergonomic demand. Evolutionary design approaches limits to numerical optimization, while Topology Optimization seeks to find an optimal structural configuration within a given design domain for specified objectives, constraints, loads and boundary conditions. This paper focuses on creating appropriate generative design models which can sustain same amount of stresses as of the original model. In the current study the optimization of Boeing 747’s nose landing gear is depicted using solidworks and fusion 360. Static structural analysis is utilized to evaluate the effects of stresses and failure mode produced by various materials, in order to figure out a materials characteristic as well as for material selection. Additionally, this paper examines original and generative design models

Authors: Salampessy Yudi L.A , Suherna  , Gunawan Gugun
Published: April 2023

In recent times, small businesses have been recognized as a significant component of national economies, as evidenced by their resilience during the monetary crisis faced by Indonesia in 1999. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has presented a unique challenge due to the invisible nature of the virus, its social transmission, and the resultant threats to human safety. Small businesses have undergone several changes, including altered consumer behavior, production patterns, and product marketing, primarily due to their reliance on crowds and direct interactions between sellers and buyers. Consequently, many small businesses have either shut down or faced difficulties in maintaining their sustainability. To gain insights into the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for small business actors, we conducted a qualitative phenomenological study in Lebak Regency, Banten Province. Our findings suggest that the informants viewed the pandemic as a crisis that tested their adaptive capacity. This capacity encompassed not only the ability to adjust to changing economic conditions but also a sense of gratitude for the outcomes of their business activities. The quality of these attributes together determined the sustainability of their business.

Authors: Климов Дмитрий , Смирнова Светлана , Ткаченко Людмила
Published: April 2023

В статье анализируется опыт использования каркасного подхода в территориальном планировании Москов­ской области при формировании природно-экологического каркаса как основы устойчивого градостроительного развития региона. Впервые в отечественной градостроительной практике в 2003 году для высокоурбанизированного региона были даны предложения по выделению природных экологических и природно-исторических территорий. Идея формирования природного и исторического каркасов получила своё дальнейшее развитие в утверждённых Схемах территориального планирования Московской области на период до 2020 года (2007) и до 2040 года (2021). Планируемые природно-истори­ческие, природные экологические территории в комплексе с особо охраняемыми природными территориями формируют основу природно-экологического каркаса региона, к которому также относятся прочие залесённые территории и водные объекты. Для реализации мероприятий по сохранению природно-экологического каркаса необходимо внести изменения в Градостроительный кодекс Российской Федерации, закрепить понятие «природно-экологический каркас» и обязательность его отображения в документах территориального планирования субъектов Российской Федерации. Статья подготовлена на основании результатов многолетних исследований, выполненных в «НИиПИ градостроительства» в рамках работ по подго­товке изменений в Схему территориального планирования Московской области.

Published: April 2023

For last 2 decades Swat has witnessed changes in almost every aspect of culture, space, and ecology. Among these changes, the environmental crisis remains a major issue addressed by different media outlets and academic and nonacademic organizations. Along with popular narratives and discourses the poets also have their take on the environmental crisis of Swat though mostly ignored in research of cultural and environmental studies. This paper aims to investigate themes of Pashto poetry in context with the environmental crisis. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate how Pashto poetry is situating the environmental crisis of Swat and how poetry works for the preservation of the environment. Findings are based on published sources of poetry, interviews, and informal discussions by using the vignette method for collection of data. The framework of social poetics is used to theorize the environmental crisis and how poets take on the crises. The findings suggest that the poetic expressions point out development and militancy as instruments of environmental crisis in Swat. The paper further argues that different objects and elements in flora and fauna are romanticized and instrumentalized as symbols of beauty and love in Pashto poetry which works in the preservation of the ecological system of Swat. Moreover, poetry also produces themes of peace, condemnation of violence and unplanned development, resilience and hope to heal the wounded ecology of Swat.
Constitutional Flaws: Unrest in Swat 2007-09
Authors: Rehman Lutfur
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this paper is to explore the root cause of terrorism in Swat. It is a case study and qualitative research project. People of Swat suffered heavy human and material losses due to terrorism. The Taliban led by a local cleric; Maulana Fazlullah destroyed educational institutions, banned girls’ education, and watching television besides slaughtering innocent people. One of the causes of this phenomenon, was a constitutional crisis which prevailed in the region since the merger of Swat in 1969. Successive governments failed to integrate it in the national mainstream. On the contrary, authorities have used it as a laboratory for constitutional experiments-promoting discontent and denial of justice.
As mulheres em Lolita: um discurso violento sobre a sexualidade feminina
Authors: Wirthmann Renata , SOUZA S. S.
Published: April 2023

This article intends to construe a psychoanalytical reading about the women in the literary work Lolita, by Vladimir Nabokov, published in 1955. The book is the autobiography of Humbert Humbert, 38, whose love object is a 12-year-old girl whom that he names as a nymphet. The narrator argues for the existence of two different female categories. The first would be attributed to adult women, named as palliative agents as permitted by the Law to have sexual relations with men. The second to diabolical nymphets, their true object of desire. Starting from a Freudolacanian reading about the feminine and supported by the philosopher Simone de Beauvoir’s studies on the categories of women’s social representation, this paper will return to the narrator Humbert Humbert, creator of such categories of the feminine, to investigate concept about fetishism. At the end of the work, we were able to realize that the discourse about female sexuality is constituted for the exclusive benefit of Humbert Humbert, who determines and enjoys the naming of women, that is, by talking about the feminine, the narrator helps us to produce a knowledge, in fact, about male sexuality.

Authors: CORREIA S. B. , MAIA L. M.
Published: April 2023

This study consists in a integrative review whose aim is to identify how social psychology has abroached the questions relating to indigenous identity. The survey was done from articles that deal with indigenous questions in the perspective of social psychology in electronic bases: SciELO, Pepsic, LILACS, BVS–Psi e APA. The descriptors were: ethnic identity, indigenous, indian, social identity and social psychology. By considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 19 national and internacional studies were compiled, referring to the last decade, published Psychology magazines, by making evident the recent character of studies that may approximate Social Psychology and indigenous identity. By means of accomplished survey, it was found that the publications about the theme were organized in four axes: (1) comprehension of ethnic identity to arise from Social Psychology; (2) Social representations, preconception and discrimination against indigenous; (3) Effects of the interethnic relationship for indigenous and (4) The challenges of the relationship between the researcher and indigenous.
Introducción a la historia de la filosofía política
Authors: Achury Torres Tayron Alberto
Published: April 2023

Consideramos que la recolección de una década de indagaciones, interacciones, elucubraciones y escritura realizadas en la cátedra de Filosofía Política del programa de Filosofía de la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia por parte del autor de este libro, constituyen un aporte necesario para la contextualización histórica del pensamiento filosófico en torno a la filosofía política. No existe en el desarrollo de este una pretensión de cuerpo enciclopédico (de hecho, hay historias de cada época a la que algunos historiadores le han dedicado volúmenes enteros), se trata más bien de acercarse a los contenidos de cada autor y de cada época con un abordaje sintético, pero contextualizado en el marco de toda la historia del pensamiento de la filosofía política.

Desde 2020, las condiciones sociales, políticas y de bienestar en el mundo se han visto vulneradas dada la pandemia del COVID-19, que le ha costado la vida a más de cinco millones de personas, y millones más han caído en la pobreza, de acuerdo con las cifras de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) para diciembre de 2021, esto sin especificar las problemáticas sociopolíticas que se levantan en Colombia en el 2021 y que desencadenaron luchas sociales que impactaron vidas, economía, y otros ámbitos en un país que tiene un largo camino para construir paz y transformar la cultura de la guerra. Sin embargo, también ha creado los retos que ha llevado a la ciencia, la academia y los gobiernos a ser estratégicos, creativos y dinámicos. Estas acciones han hecho que en la universidad se generen planes y estrategias pedagógicas, tecnológicas, psicosociales, para enfrentar y mitigar los impactos que apenas se asoman. La vida no será la misma, pero se ha venido transitando a una nueva forma de vivir, capaz de tender lazos de solidaridad, fraternidad, acompañamiento y enfrentamiento. Esta nueva versión del libro presenta las reflexiones, los análisis teóricos e investigativos desde las acciones de cambio en tiempos de crisis que vienen desarrollando investigadoras e investigadores del centro de investigación. Está estructurado en dos secciones, en la primera sección se encuentran reflexiones sobre investigación en educación y estrategias pedagógicas alternativas en las que avanza el centro de investigación a través de sus investigadores. En la segunda sección se encuentran las reflexiones sobre las praxis de las investigaciones, es decir, la investigación, la proyección o extensión social en tanto en contextos comunitarias como en las organizaciones.
The impact of international trade freedom on economic growth: Empirical evidence of the Western Balkans countries
Authors: Bajraktari Kaltrina , Bajrami Roberta , Hashani Medain
Published: April 2023

The influence of international trade freedom on economic growth is a significant factor. International trade promotes trade freedom (Unger, 2007), and most studies show the positive impacts of trade freedom on economic growth (Mercan et al., 2013). In this study, we search for the effects of international trade freedom on the Western Balkan countries’ economic growth using the Fraser Institute annual data from 2000 to 2021. The paper consists of panel data, and the results are analyzed with the following models: pooled ordinary least squares (OLS), fixed effect, random effect, and generalized method of moments (GMM). Our findings show a positive relationship between the freedom of international trade and economic growth. High tariffs on international commerce, trade barrier control, and domestic trade freedom all impacted growth; on the other hand, tariffs and trade barrier regulations harm economic growth. The gross domestic product (GDP) coefficient per capita at lag one is 0.9535, implying that a unit increase in GDP per capita at lag one increases GDP per capita by 0.9535. The ultimate conclusion is that more trade liberalization with a preference for exports, institutional reforms, foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, structural improvements, and strengthened collaboration with the European Union have a long-term influence on the Western Balkans nations’ quicker economic growth.
