Published: December 2020

В статье проведен анализ радиационного фона в зданиях и общежитии Атырауского университета имени Х.Досмухамедова. Исследования проводились дозиметром ДРГ-Т101 в декабре 2019 года на трех уровнях: на полу, в 50 см и 100 см от пола. Исследования показали, что все результаты измерения не превышают предельно-допустимой дозы. Радиационный фон был измерен в 4 учебном корпусе, в спортивном комплексе «Жайык», в главном учебном корпусе и общежитии №3. В 4 учебном корпусе на уровне пола в холле и некоторых аудиториях значения радиационного фона выше чем на других уровнях, что возможно связано с использованием материалов, обладающих небольшой активностью. В главном учебном корпусе отмечаются небольшие превышения в отличие от других в некоторых кабинетах на уровне пола. В спортивном комплексе «Жайык» отмечаются наименьшие показатели по сравнению с другими зданиями. В то же время в самом здании наибольшие показатели характерны для спортивного зала. В доме студентов общежития №3 сравнительно низкие показатели во всех комнатах и холлах. Небольшие увеличения отмечаются с наружной части общежития. Самые высокие результаты были показаны в деканате главного корпуса и кабинете русской филологии, самые низкие - в холле спорткомплекса.В общем радиационная обстановка на территории университета стабильная и находится в пределах нормы.

Authors: Singh Prof. Pradeep
Published: December 2020

Social reputation and personal liberty are two important things in life human beings which are most dear and most respected. Whenever any person has enmity with another person, he tries to affect the social reputation and personal liberty of later person and usually for the purpose criminal justice system is misused. Vested interests file the false case, thereby, the alleged person may be arrested and kept in custody which may cause a loss of reputation and personal liberty of the alleged person. Such misuse of the criminal justice system is a reality. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the criminal justice system itself to protect innocent persons falsely alleged in a criminal case. Indian criminal justice system has prescribed anticipatory bail to protect the falsely alleged person. This article will analyze the legal regime provided in the Indian criminal justice system about anticipatory bail.

Published: December 2020

In fish farming, feeding rate is an important factor affecting the growth of fish, and thus determining the optimal feeding rate is important to the success of any aquaculture operation. This study which lasted for 99 days investigated the effect of varying feeding rates on the growth response of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus fingerlings. One hundred and eighty fingerlings were randomly distributed into nine experimental tanks giving 20 fingerlings per tank with an initial weight of 5.92±0.006 g. Three feeding rates were employed as treatments – 3%, 5%, and 7% of fresh body weight, with three replicates per treatment. The fishes were fed three times daily with commercial feed (Aller-aqua) of 42% crude protein. Growth and water quality parameters were measured fortnightly and feed ration adjusted according to the biomass in each tank. Results show that Final Mean Weight, Mean Weight Gain, Specific Growth Rate, Performance Index and Protein Efficiency Ratio were significantly higher (p<0.05) in fish fed 7%. However, Feed Conversion Ratio were better at 3% body weight (p<0.05). Based on the growth performance and feed efficiency data obtained, the study suggests the optimum feeding rate of 5% bw/day for African catfish, C. gariepinus fingerlings.

Improving Software Modularity using AOP
Authors: Vasundhara B , Rao KV Chalapati
Published: December 2020

Software modularity is a software design technique that increases the level to which software is composed of separate interchangeable components called modules. The modules are devised by breaking down the program functions. Each module accomplishes one function and contains all that is necessary to accomplish it. Modules represent a separation of concerns, and improve the maintainability by enforcing logical boundaries between the components. Languages that formally support the module concept include Java, AspectJ, etc. OOP supports modularity, i.e., the source code for an object can be written and maintained independently of the source code for other objects. Once created, an object can be passed around inside the system. When compared to OOP, AOP is more finely grained, making it more functional for software engineering. In OOP, a software module corresponds directly to a block of executable code. Whereas in AOP, a crosscutting concern, can be located in multiple code blocks. This can turn modules into a tangled mess of crosscutting concerns. AOP is a programming paradigm that increases modularity by allowing the separation of cross-cutting concerns. AOP does not replace OOP in the maintenance of the systems but adds certain decomposition features that address the domination of crosscutting concerns. The effectiveness of AOP is illustrated by discussing the logging function in the online shopping catalogue application.
Model Based Software Development: Issues & Challenges
Authors: Basha N Md Jubair , Moiz Salman Abdul , Rizwanullah Mohammed
Published: December 2020

One of the goals of software design is to model a system in such a way that it is easily understandable. Nowadays the tendency for software development is changing from manual coding to automatic code generation; it is becoming model-based. This is a response to the software crisis, in which the cost of hardware has decreased and conversely the cost of software development has increased sharply. The methodologies that allowed this change are model-based, thus relieving the human from detailed coding. Still there is a long way to achieve this goal, but work is being done worldwide to achieve this objective. This paper presents the drastic changes related to modeling and important challenging issues and techniques that recur in MBSD.
TESTING PROCESS OVERVIEW EXPLORATION FOR A SOFTWARE PRODUCT IN A LARGE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Authors: G SRIHARSHA , E NARESH
Published: December 2020

Software testing is a process where you have the stated requirements, pre-requisite software that is to be installed and the configuration of the machine that need to be done as per the test data for the test case and for a specific platform which when verified works perfectly. This paper describes about Manual test case process overview in the testing life cycle for a large software development project and how you track the effort for the same. A Tester need to know about the fundamentals of testing concepts. Documentation of the testing concepts and the process overview of the testing life cycle for a software product need to be done initially so that a new tester when recruited can understand the basic flow as to how it is carried out in real time in an organization practically. Initially a tester need to execute the manual test case for few platforms and some tougher manual test cases need to be learnt from the tester who is having some experience. The tougher manual test cases need to be identified initially from the experienced tester who will be giving a session for the execution of such test cases. So when the foundation for a new tester is powerful the plan assigned for the execution of test cases is met. The effort tracking for the testing can be captured for a tester and should be matched with planned effort for the execution of test cases. Measurement of the testing effort plays a very important role as to how comfortable a new tester is and further root cause analysis is done if required when the new tester does not meet the planned effort.
A FUZZY BASED DIVIDE AND CONQUER ALGORITHM FOR FEATURE SELECTION IN KDD INTRUSION DETECTION DATASET
Authors: DAS ANISH , SATHYA S. SIVA
Published: December 2020

This paper provides a fuzzy logic based divide and conquer algorithm for feature selection and reduction among large feature set of KDD intrusion detection data set, since a reduced feature set will help to evolve better mining rules.This algorithm introduces a fuzzy idea of dividing the normal record by attacks records or vice-versa, and then considers the feature sets for every attack type separately. Actually, this algorithm is applied on KDD CUP 99 dataset having 37 attack types and selecting important feature among 41 feature of KDD dataset. The selected features are used in TANAGRA [11, 12] data mining tool to classify the dataset (i.e. KDD 99) for every attack vs. normal using various classification algorithms [5, 6]. The result for feature selection and classification shows a reduced set and maximized classification rate respectively.
POWER FACTOR IMPROVEMENT AND HARMONIC CURRENT REDUCTION IN DUAL FEEDBACK PWM CONTROLLED AC/DC DRIVES.
Authors: PATIL V.P. , SAOJI B.P. , GAIKWAD S.D , WANKHADE C.M.
Published: December 2020

The electrical power industry has grown rapidly and loads are changing from simple, non-electronic loads to electronic ones. These electronic loads draw a non-sinusoidal current even when the supply voltage is perfectly sinusoidal. In this paper PWM controller with dual feedback loop with simple single-stage single-switch input-current shaping circuit was designed, simulated and tested for AC/DC drives which generates input current harmonics due to its non-linear characteristics. A sinusoidal input current with nearly unity distortion factor was achieved through current harmonics reduction by using PWM boost regulator. The circuit utilizes the charging and discharging increments of boost inductor current to shape a sinusoidal input current. Inductor current was controlled by means of PWM controller. The controller accepts two feedback signals, the first is the inductor current and the other is the output voltage of the AC/DC drives. The simulation results of fast Fourier transform (FFT) show the great reduction in current harmonic which in turns tends to a great improvement in power factor and the sinusoidal shape of input current and hence overall performance of AC/DC
drives.

Investigating the Relationship between the Opinions of Mothers with Infants in Intensive Care Unit on Human Milk Banking and their Religious Attitudes
Authors: ALPARSLAN Özgür , BOZKURT Gülçin
Published: December 2020

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the opinions of mothers with newborns in intensive care unit on human milk banking and their religious attitudes. Designed in a descriptive and cross-sectional type (June–November 2015). The study was conducted on 200 mothers who agreed to participate in the study. The data were collected using the Religious Attitude Scale and an information form. It was determined that the mothers' 4% gave another mother's milk to their babies, and that 95% did not give their own milk to other babies. It was found that 32% of the mothers stated they would not be willing to donate milk if a milk bank opened, while 69% of this proportion did not favor the donation due to religious milk kinship. No statistically significant relation was found between parents' education, employment status, family type, number of children and scale scores (p>.05). It was concluded that the religious orientations of the mothers influenced their attitudes towards human milk banks, and that did not have a positive perspective on human milk banking. When the test results were examined, it was found that the only variable that was a significant predictor on the religious attitude was “obtaining milk from the bank when needed”.
Modeling of 2D Functionally Graded Circular Plates with Artificial Neural Network
Authors: DEMİRBAŞ Munise Didem , ÇAKIR Didem
Published: December 2020

The thermo-mechanical properties of the functionally graded material (FGM) depend on the volumetric distribution that determines the material character, which is very important in order to overcome different operating conditions and stress levels. Three different training algorithms are used in an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to determine the equivalent stress levels of a hollow disc that is functionally graded in two directions. The data set was created by choosing the most important four different equivalent stress values (σ_(eqv max max) ,σ_(eqv max min) ,σ_(eqv min max) ,σ_(eqv min min)) that determine the material structure in thermo-mechanical analysis. Performance estimation was performed in three different training algorithms (Gradient Descent Backpropagation, Gradient Descent with Momentum Backpropagation, BFGS Quasi-Newton Backpropagation Algorithm). In this study, termomechanical behaviour was numerically determined by using finite difference method at different compositional gradient upper values to train ANN.
Russian Bogatyrs: Mission Impossible. Social Function of Giftedness
Authors: Pesina Evgeniya
Published: December 2020

The article examines the role of gifted people and their place in the Russian society. The prospects of individual-centered approach to conceptualizing giftedness are analyzed. As giftedness has social nature, so the hypothesis is advanced that to define this concept one should start by identifying the function that gifted people are called to perform in society. It is noted that this function is not reflected clearly in contemporary social consciousness; therefore its traces should be sought at deeper levels of collective consciousness, viz. in the ancient epic literature. This task is performed by means of analysis of an epic tale plot – the struggle of a bogatyr (an epic hero) with a grotesque creature (the text "Alyosha Popovich and Tugarin [Serpent]"). The resemblance between bogatyrs’s characteristic traits and the modern idea of gifted people is demonstrated. The conclusions are drawn about the subjective activity of bogatyrs, their function in the social reality and the connection of epic tale character to the modern concept of giftedness.

Bolşevik İhtilâli Arifesinde Çarlık Rusya’da Müslümanlar Meselesi
Authors: ÖZTÜRK Mustafa
Published: December 2020

Çarlık Rusya, tarihinde ilk kez Birinci Dünya Savaşı ile Almanlara ve Türklere karşı aynı anda zorlu bir mücadeleye girişti. Kabul etmek gerekir ki milyonlarca insanın kaderini etkileyecek olan bu boğazlaşmada Osmanlı Devleti, rakiplerine kıyasla askeri ve ekonomik bakımdan daha hazırlıksız ve zayıf olmasına rağmen Rusya, İngiltere ve Fransa’nın iç huzurunu ve hammadde ekonomisini yakından ilgilendiren stratejik bir kartı elinde bulunduruyordu. Çarlık Rusya topraklarında İdil-Volga Tatarları başta olmak üzere Türkistan, Kafkasya ve büyük Rus şehirlerinde milyonlarca Müslüman ikâmet etmekteydi. Meseleye bu yönden baktığımız zaman Rusya’nın savaş stratejisinde halifeliğe olan yaklaşımı İngiltere ve Fransa’ya nazaran oldukça farklı bir karaktere bürünmüştü. Kezâ, İngiltere ve Fransa’nın Müslüman tebaaları ekseriyetle koloni topraklarında hayatlarını sürdürmekteydi. Osmanlı Devleti’nin Müslümanlar üzerindeki tesiri ya da Müslümanların Osmanlı Devleti’ne olan bağlılıkları tartışma götürmekle birlikte halifelik makamını elinde bulundurmasının düşündürücü etkileri olabilirdi. Nitekim yayınlayacağı cihat fetvası ile sadece İngiltere ve Fransa kolonileri için değil aynı zamanda Rusya’nın topraklarında yeni mücadele alanlarına ya da siyasal İslam akımlarının durdurulamaz eylemlerine kapı aralayabilirdi. Almanlar ise ustalık gerektiren hamleler sayesinde maddi destek ve algı yöntemleriyle cılız halifelik kozunu aşamalı olarak derinleştirebilirdi. Tehlikenin farkında olan Rusya, Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nın bazı dönemlerinde Müslüman tebaaya yönelik genelde basın yayın organlarında sansür başta olmak üzere kontrollü yöntemler bazı dönemlerinde ise esnek ve sert askeri/politik hamlelere başvurmuştur. Sert ve orantısız uygulamaların hafızalardan silinmeyen, izahtan vareste ve tartışmalı örneği ise şüphesiz 1916 Türkistan Olaylarıdır.Bu makalede Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nın başlangıcından 1917 Bolşevik İhtilâli’ne kadar ki zaman diliminde Çarlık Rusya sınırları dâhilinde yaşayan Müslüman ahalinin haber alma organlarına yönelik uygulamalar, Çarlık Rusya ordularında görevli Müslüman askerlerin sorunları, Müslüman entelektüellerin çalışmaları, Müftülüklerin Petrograd ile olan iletişimleri, Müslümanlar üzerindeki güvenlik önlemleri, Türkistan havalinde zuhur eden isyan ile dış müdahale ve propaganda çalışmalarının Petrograd üzerindeki etkisi Rusça kaynak ve eserler ışığında nesnel bir bakış açısıyla irdelenmiştir.
A REPRESENTAÇÃO DOCENTE EM DIÁRIO DE BITITA, DE CAROLINA MARIA DE JESUS
Authors: Melo Lorena Ribeiro
Published: December 2020

Este artigo propõe-se a analisar a representação literária da professora em Diário de Bitita (1982), da escritora mineira Carolina Maria de Jesus. Buscaremos mostrar que a forma como a educadora é representada relaciona-se com o momento histórico em que estava inserida, a Primeira República Brasileira. Do mesmo modo, analisaremos os meandros de resistência simbolizados pela imagem da docente: a possibilidade, ainda que reduzida, de acesso ao mundo dos letrados para quem formava parte do universo da classe negra e pobre e a apropriação do letramento, enquanto forma de ascensão e como divisor social em uma sociedade que tinha uma grande parcela da população analfabeta. Partiremos, inicialmente, da problematização da escrita autobiográfica como viabilidade de representar a profissão de docente e seu contexto sócio-histórico. Por fim, mostraremos que o professor está representado tradicionalmente a partir de práticas pedagógicas conservadoras e autoritárias, que mesmo que limitadoras permitem a aquisição do letramento como forma de resistência ao universo opressor da raça branca.
EXÍLIO, UTOPIA E POLIFONIA EM O BRUXO DO CONTESTADO DE GODOFREDO DE OLIVEIRA NETO
Authors: Silveira Suzane Morais da Veiga
Published: December 2020

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar as estratégias textuais de O Bruxo do Contestado (1996), romance de Godofredo de Oliveira Neto, para trabalhar ficcionalmente os temas do exílio e da utopia. Em diálogo com um importante evento da memória nacional, a Guerra do Contestado, o livro desenvolve uma reflexão sobre as heranças culturais resultantes de processos históricos de violência, em que o Estado aparece como agente violador contra os revoltosos, colocando-os em situação de subalternidade. Assim, a metodologia empregada consiste no estudo da construção da narrativa e de sua polifonia, tendo por base as experiências das personagens face ao poder institucional, em especial o protagonista Gerd. Para isso, utilizamos como embasamento teórico a contribuição crítica de Edward Said (2003), Julia Kristeva (1994) e Gayatri Spivak (2010), a fim de examinar o relato memorialístico de Tecla, narradora-escritora, observando como ela reconstrói o seu passado e o de sua família, os Jonhasky, cuja história se mistura com a do próprio Brasil.

An Analysis of Factors Affecting on Growth of Organic Food Perception of Consumers in a Metro City of India
Authors: Patil Pratap G.
Published: December 2020

Purpose: Food gives us essential nutrients to lead a healthy lifestyle but lately it has been found that many food products have become hazardous due to contamination and lead to many diseases. The rampant use of pesticides and chemical-based fertilizers in agriculture has, increased the productivity but at the same time they have created an alarming situation for the environment. The demand of the hour is to therefore to encourage organic farming and offer a better choice to consumers as well as save the environment. The purpose of this paper is to explore and understand the factors affecting perception of consumers on organic food products in Indian context.
Design – Methodology – Approach: The study used a structured survey of 300 respondents covering metro city (India). Exploratory research was used to know the variables from the literature that affect the perception of consumers regarding organic food. Descriptive research was used to understand the demographic profile of the organic food consumer’s. Conclusive research design was used to test the hypothesis based upon the motivating and inhibiting factor in the growth of organic food.
Findings: The data collected from the survey were analyzed using percent analysis and ANOVA tests. Results indicated that the intention to purchase organic products was impacted by the consumer’s belief on the safety and health aspect of the product, trust and certification, information and availability and lifestyle and are hence drivers of growth. And certain impeding factors were identified like doubt in the professed quality of organic food, lack of awareness and price parity.
Social Implications: There are enough evidences of fertile land being converted into wasteland because of use of agro- chemical-based fertilizers in farming. There are also enough incidents of polluted water (ground and surface) due to agrochemical-based farming. Heavy use of pesticides leads to adverse effect on the health of farmers also. There were many reports of farmers committing suicide because of debt due to heavy investment on pesticides and fertilizers. Organic farming is a win-win proposition for environment, farmers and consumer’s. Originality/value – The study was an effort to understand awareness and perception of organic food consumers in urban India post-agriculture revolution. The result would help the organic food producing and marketing companies to understand the factors that influence the belief of consumers when they purchase organic food and henceforth they can formulate communication strategies and marketing policy based on consumer’s expectations.

Authors: Martín-Macho Harrison Ana , Neira-Piñeiro María del Rosario
Published: December 2020

Dada la importancia del género lírico en la educación literaria y la necesidad de una buena formación en poesía infantil y su didáctica para los futuros docentes, se pretende conocer la formación en didáctica de la poesía de los graduados en Maestro de Educación Infantil en dos universidades españolas. Así, se aplicó un cuestionario cualitativo a una muestra de 83 estudiantes de 4º curso de las universidades de Oviedo y Castilla-La Mancha, con preguntas relativas a los conocimientos adquiridos sobre la poesía, y a su autopercepción sobre su formación en este ámbito. Aunque son conscientes del atractivo de la poesía para los niños y poseen ciertos conocimientos y habilidades relativos a la educación poética en el aula de infantil, se declaran inseguros en la selección de textos líricos, consideran insuficiente su conocimiento de la poesía infantil y la mayoría posee una autopercepción negativa sobre su formación en didáctica de la poesía. Ante los resultados obtenidos, se apuntan algunas propuestas de mejora para que la formación permita a los docentes de educación infantil llevar la poesía al aula de manera efectiva.

Authors: Nuñez Ruiz Gabriel , Núñez Molina Gabriel
Published: December 2020

En este ensayo llevamos a cabo una aproximación histórica en torno al modo en que se ha ido construyendo el corpus de la literatura infantil hasta llegar a convertirse en una disciplina moderna. Con tal fin, analizamos dos de los grandes hitos que han contribuido a perfilarla y delimitarla tal y como hoy la conocemos, con sus aciertos y sus oquedades. Del primero, retomamos algunas obras del organicismo literario feudal para estudiar la manera en que, con otra función ideológica, la burguesía decimonónica trasladó esta literatura a las aulas de nuestro sistema educativo. Y en segundo lugar, nos detenemos en el análisis de los planes educativos que generalizan la implantación de esta disciplina y, en concreto, de algunas de las obras de mayor éxito en las aulas de la España de entonces. Finalmente, describimos cómo se apropian los escolares de los cuentos de los escritores decimonónicos más señeros y cómo estos contribuyen a perfilar la historia de la literatura infantil.
Osmanlı borçları hakkında İngiliz Lordlar Kamarası’nda yapılan 21 Mayıs 1924 tarihli oturumun incelemesi
Authors: Yüksel Çağdaş
Published: December 2020

Sanayi Devrimi sonrasında zenginleşen Avrupa devletleri 19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından itibaren ekonomik sıkıntı içindeki ülkelere borç vermeye başlamışlardır. Borçların devamında Avrupa sermayesi bu ülkelere akın etmiş ve ülkeler neredeyse sömürge haline getirilmişlerdir. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu da 1854 yılında Kırım Savaşı’nın getirdiği yük nedeniyle dış borç almak zorunda kalmıştır. Alınan borçlar verimli kullanılmadığı için borç yükü hızla artmıştır. Bu dönemde Avrupa sermayesi Osmanlı topraklarında demiryolu yatırımlarına da başlamıştır. İmparatorluğun dış borç serüveni 1876 yılında mali iflasla sonuçlanmıştır. Borçları ödeyebilmek için Duyun-u Umumiye İdaresi kurulmuştur. Bu kuruluş devlet gelirlerinin bir kısmını kontrolü altına almıştır. Böylece yatırımlarını arttıran Avrupa sermayesi, Duyun-u Umumiye İdaresi ve kapitülasyonlar kısa süre içerisinde Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun ekonomik bağımsızlığına son vermişlerdir. Milli Mücadele sonrasında Lozan Antlaşması ile Duyun-u Umumiye İdaresi ve kapitülasyonlar kaldırılmış ve Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin tam bağımsızlığı sağlanmıştır. Ancak borçlar meselesi 1928 yılına kadar sorun olmaya devam etmiştir. Bu tarihte yapılan antlaşma ile borç ödemeleri başlamış ve 1954 yılına kadar devam etmiştir.

Published: December 2020

A simple and eloquent procedure for the synthesis of a new series of thienyl benzo[b]1,4-diazepines is reported. They were synthesized by the condensation of o-phenylenediamine (o-PDA) with distinct hetero chalcones using NaOH in polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as green and alternative reaction solvent. The significances of this present method are shorter reaction time, easy work-up, high yields, and mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, this method is environment friendly and without use of an expensive catalyst. The all newly synthesized compounds are characterized by the spectroscopic methods.

We are evaluating the proposition that compounds with pronounced tendencies to crystallize as kryptoracemates contain molecular fragments responsible for such a property. Why Sohncke space groups display such a tendency is not currently known, but one such fragment is the [tris(2-aminoethyl)amine-N,N',N'',N'''] ligand when attached to cobalt(III). Therefore, proceeding to test the concept further, we examined the title compound and found a previously unknown kryptoracemic species, described in what follows. It seems then that the prescription has some merit and should be examined further inasmuch as guidelines for the occurrence of kryptoracemic crystallization are scant, if any exist. Crystal data for C6H20Cl3CoN4O: monoclinic, space group P21 (no. 4), a = 7.6672(3) Å, b = 15.7153(5) Å, c = 10.7170(4) Å, β = 92.964(2)°, V = 1289.59(8) Å3, Z = 4, T = 100(2) K, μ(CuKα) = 16.026 mm-1, Dcalc = 1.697 g/cm3, 13406 reflections measured (8.26° ≤ 2Θ ≤ 133.402°), 3976 unique (Rint = 0.0300, Rsigma = 0.0519) which were used in all calculations. The final R1 was 0.0220 (I > 2σ(I)) and wR2 was 0.0459 (all data).

Published: December 2020

Three new halide bridged copper(I)complexes [Cu2(µ-L)(µ-X)2)(PPh3)2]n {X: I (1), Br (2) and Cl (3)} have been synthesized by the reaction of Cu(I)X (X: I, Br and Cl) with PPh3 and the polydentate imino-pyridyl ligand L. Interestingly, copper(I) forms coordination polymers with the ligand L and the co-ligand PPh3. These complexes 1, 2 and 3 have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis, and NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of the complex 2 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Crystal data for complex 2: triclinic, space group P-1 (no. 2), a = 9.471(10) Å, b = 11.043(11) Å, c = 13.215(18) Å, α = 65.853(18)°, β = 69.94(2)°, γ = 67.350(14)°, V = 1135(2) Å3, Z = 2, T = 296.15 K, μ(MoKα) = 2.806 mm-1, Dcalc = 1.535 g/cm3, 4059 reflections measured (3.462° ≤ 2Θ ≤ 44.818°), 2639 unique (Rint = 0.0637, Rsigma = 0.1621) which were used in all calculations. The final R1 was 0.0700 (I > 2σ(I)) and wR2 was 0.2207 (all data). Hirshfeld surface analysis of the complex 2 showed H···H, N···H and Br···H interactions of 55.9, 14.4 and 4.1%, respectively. MEP of ligand L reflects the whole molecule is reddish yellow in color because of equally distributed electron density over the molecule. For this reason, the ligand is supramolecularly arranged via -{CuI2-µ-X2} rhomboid core in the complex 2. The ligand L is non-emissive at room temperature in dichloromethane, whereas the complexes 1, 2 and 3 are photoluminescent. DFT and Hirshfeld surface studies have also been performed for complex 2.
Mechanistic insight into propane dehydrogenation into propylene over chromium (III) oxide by cluster approach and Density Functional Theory calculations

Published: December 2020

A preliminary study to provides insight into the kinetic and thermodynamic assessment of the reaction mechanism involved in the non-oxidative dehydrogenation (NOD) of propane to propylene over Cr2O3, using a density functional theory (DFT) approach, has been undertaken. The result obtained from the study presents the number of steps involved in the reaction and their thermodynamic conditions across different routes. The rate-determining step (RDS) and a feasible reaction pathway to promote propylene production were also identified. The results obtained from the study of the 6-steps reaction mechanism for dehydrogenation of propane into propylene identified the first hydrogen abstraction and hydrogen desorption to be endothermic. In contrast, other steps that include propane’s adsorption, hydrogen diffusion, and the second stage of hydrogen abstraction were identified as exothermic. The study of different reaction routes presented in the energy profiles confirms the Cr-O (S1, that is, the reaction pathway that activates the propane across the Cr-O site at the alpha or the terminal carbon of the propane) pathway to be the thermodynamically feasible pathway for the production of propylene. The first hydrogen abstraction step was identified as the potential rate-determining step for defining the rate of the propane dehydrogenation process. This study also unveils that the significant participation of Cr sites in the propane dehydrogenation process and how the Cr high surface concentration would hinder the desorption of propylene and thereby promote the production of undesired products due to the stronger affinity that exists between the propylene and Cr-Cr site, which makes it more stable on the surface. These findings thereby result in Cr-site substitution suggestion to prevent deep dehydrogenation in propane conversion to propylene. This insight would aid in improving the catalyst performance.

The novel corona virus 2019 (COVID 19) is growing at an increasing rate with high mortality. Meanwhile, the cytokine storm is the most dangerous and potentially life-threatening event related to COVID 19. Phyto-compounds found in existing Ayurveda drugs have the ability to inhibit the Interleukin 6 (IL-6R) and Interleukin 1 (IL-1R) receptors. IL-6R and IL-1R receptors involve in cytokine storm and recognition of phytochemicals with proven safety profiles could open a pathway to the development of the most effective drugs against cytokine storm. In this study, we intend to perform an in silico investigation of effective phyto compounds, which can be isolated from selected medicinal herbs to avoid cytokine storm, inhibiting the IL-6 and IL-1 receptor binding process. An extensive literature survey followed by virtual screening was carried out to identify phytochemicals with potential anti-hyper-inflammatory action. Flexible docking was conducted for validated models of IL-1R and IL-6R-α with the most promising phytochemicals at possible allosteric sites using AutoDock Vina. Molecular dynamics (MD) studies were conducted for selected protein-ligand complexes using LARMD server and conformational changes were evaluated. According to the results, taepeenin J had Gibbs energy (ΔG) of -10.85 kcal/mol towards IL-1R but had limited oral bioavailability. MD analysis revealed that taepeenin J can cause significant conformational movements in IL-1R. Nortaepeenin B showed a ΔG of -8.5 kcal/mol towards IL-6R-α with an excellent oral bioavailability. MD analysis predicted that it can cause significant conformational movements in IL-6R-α. Hence, the evaluated phytochemicals are potential candidates for further in vitro studies for the development of medicine against cytokine storm on behalf of SARS-COV-2 infected patients.

Locke's Travel Books
Authors: Talbot Ann
Published: December 2020

Peter Martyr, papal legate to the court of Spain and learned humanist, solemnly informed his readers that children were turned into frogs on one of the newly discovered Caribbean islands. Columbus thought his ship was caught in the powerful current of one of the rivers that flowed out of Eden, when he encountered the mouth of the Orinoco. Amerigo Vespucci invented an entire voyage so that he could claim priority in the discovery of the American continent. If we were to leaf through the travel books that the philosopher John Locke had on his shelves we would find these and even stranger stories of shape-shifting enchanters, lakes of gold, Amazon warrior women, societies where equality and liberty reigned and property was held in common, as well as sophisticated, well-organized societies where the educated class were all materialists and atheists. Travel literature seems a most unsuitable body of material for John Locke, the father of British empiricism, to study, but study it he did.

Among the Malmesbury family papers in the Hampshire Record Office, Winchester, there exists a letter written by Pierre Coste to James Harris that throws new light both on Coste’s relations with John Locke and the third Earl of Shaftesbury, and on some events in the life of the first Earl of Shaftesbury.
Locke, Ideas and Abstraction
Authors: Walmsley Jonathan
Published: December 2020

The title of Yasuhiko Tomida’s paper ‘“Separation” of Ideas Reconsidered: A Response to Jonathan Walmsley’ portends sustained criticism of my analyses of Locke’s views on abstraction. The impression is misleading. My conclusion, that Locke’s theory of abstraction was one of mental separation of parts of images, is cited several times, but mainly as an opportunity for Professor Tomida to commence his own interpretation of Locke’s views. There is relatively little direct consideration of the arguments advanced for my conclusions. This observation is not intended as a criticism, but rather as a means to understand Tomida’s enterprise. He has advanced an analysis of Locke’s theory of ideas in a series of publications. His recent ‘Sensation and Conceptual Grasp in Locke’contains the kernel of this interpretation. After considering the origin and nature of important ‘simple’ ideas, viz. solidity, extension, power, existence, and unity, the paper ends with a brief discussion of the abstract idea of a triangle. His subsequent response to my work is a continuation of these arguments. Rather than immediately countering Tomida’s response to my interpretation, I will first place his views on abstraction in the context of his larger project, and only then consider his views on abstract ideas, and their relation to my position.
