Alogliptin was initially approved to treat T2DM in Japan in 2010 and then approved by FDA and by EMA in 2013. Alogliptin, a highly potent and selective, noncovalent inhibitor of DPP-4. Inhibition of DPP-4 activity, alogliptin slows the inactivation of incretin hormones, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). In terms of drug safety alogliptin is generally well-tolerated, with a low risk of hypoglycemia, weight gain, acute pancreatitis, and hepatotoxicity. Alogliptin has been effectively combined with Metformin or Pioglitazone to provide better glycaemic control. The drug can be used in mild hepatic or renal impairment with appropriate dosage adjustment. Treatment with alogliptin has shown less weight gain compared with sulfonylureas. Alogliptin and FDC of Alogliptin + Metformin approved and available in India with brand name Aloja & Aloja M/Forte, with well documented safety and efficacy through phase IV study conducted in India.

An investigation into the effect of Coronavirus‐2019 (SARS‐CoV‐2) on active transportation as an opportunity to develop a sustainable tourist destination in the postpandemic era with an emphasis on the local community (Case study: Dorood City, Lorestan Province, Iran)
Authors: Hosseini S. S. , Gholami Y. , Dolvand H. , Ataev Z. V.
Published: July 2024

The aim of this study is structural modeling of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on active post‐pandemic transport in Dorood City, Iran, emphasising both tourism and development of a long‐term tourist market through the promotion of low‐carbon travel markets.The research tool was a researcher‐made questionnaire randomly distributed among citizens of Dorood City. The impact of various factors, including economic, social, medical, and accessibility, on active transportation during the pandemic and its impact on transportation in the post‐COVID‐19 era has been investigated.The social factor has the highest factor load with a weight of 0.94. In contrast, with the lowest factor load i.e., 0.60, the economic factor proved to have the least impact on the choice of active transportation. It was found that the variable of active transport use in the post‐pandemic era with a factor load of 0.66 is the most influential factor, while the social consequences of the pandemic in the post‐pandemic era with a factor load of 0.49 turned out to be the most significant. The least effective ariable was found to occur in the post‐pandemic era.Active transport links during the pandemic in Dorood City with a regression coefficient of 0.77 had a statistically significant impact on the use of this type of transport in the post‐pandemic period. This data can be incorporated in the transport development plan with an emphasis on active transfer as an effective option for the development of sustainable tourism.

Published: July 2024

Modeling based on a digital relief model of the spatiotemporal change in the amount of total solar radiation and the assessment of the contribution of locations to the distribution of meteorological elements.DEM analysis was conducted in a GIS environment to assess the spatial and temporal distribution of total solar radiation, and statistical analysis of retrospective climatic and actual (2023) meteorological data was conducted.Based on a digital model of the relief of average spatial resolution in a GIS environment, changes in the spatial and temporal magnitude of solar radiation were estimated. A prospective analysis of climatic conditions made it possible to assess the general features of the climate of the Makazhoy basin Field observations made it possible to characterize modern climatic conditions, as well as to calculate gradients.Depending on the locations, it was determined that the amount of total solar radiation in the Makazhoy basin varies by almost 3 times. Within the same altitude intervals, the difference between the slopes of the southern and northern exposures reaches up to 50 %. The smallest differences in the amount of radiation were observed on the days of the summer solstice, and the largest on the days of the winter solstice. The average annual air temperature in the altitude range of 1960–2264 m in 2023 varied from 8.6 to 5.8°, and the amount of precipitation – from 481 to 525 mm, respectively. The intra‐annual course of meteorological parameters (air temperature and leaf surface, precipitation and relative humidity) within the meteorological transect has been revealed. The data obtained make it possible to proceed to the formation of a GIS system for monitoring the climatic conditions of the carbon landfill of the Kadyrov Chechen State University.

The aim is to analyse the landscape diversity (LD) of the northern sub‐area of the Volga River delta landscape using a series of mathematical operations.The work is based on full‐stack landscape works including field experiments. Descriptive method, GIS‐analysis and remote sensing data were used in the work.A set of landscape diversity indices was calculated for the northern sub‐area of the Volga Delta landscape on the basis of mathematical apparatus and the entropic complexity of landscape pattern (or Shannon diversity index) of the studied region was estimated. The results of the analysis made it possible to identify two habitats with rather high landscape diversity indices in this region.LD is one of the most important geographical characteristics of the region and allows assessment of the stability of geosystems to anthropogenic loads, reflection on the nature of economic development and use of geosystems and their conservation potential. By comparing HR indicators and retrospective analysis of economic development of the Volga River Delta, it was found that areas with low landscape diversity index were more often used for agriculture, as single large tracts are easier to adapt to economic needs. Areas with a complex morphological structure and, accordingly, a high level of landscape diversity are generally not subject to most types of economic impact.

Published: July 2024

To study the chemical composition of four species of valuable fish reared in aquaculture conditions in South Vietnam.Individuals of Channa striata, Channa gachua, Oreochromis niloticus, a hybrid of Clarias gariepinus and Clarias macrocephalus were purchased in markets from farmers of cage farms and directly in the farms of Khanh Hoa province. The fish were measured, weighed, and then muscle tissue was dissected for chemical analysis. The water content in the tissue was determined by a two‐stage method for determining moisture, while lipids were determined by the fat‐free residue method in a Soxhlet apparatus. The amount of protein was obtained according to the principle of the Kjeldahl method, using a semi‐automatic distillation unit UDK 139 (Velp Scientifica, Italy, 2011); minerals were determined by the gravimetric method, and carbohydrates – by calculation. The index of physiological state was calculated according to the standard method.Hybrid catfish muscles are characterised as having the greatest nutritional value. In terms of lipid content, the individuals studied belonged to fish with a low fat content, Channa striata, which belongs to the category of lean fish. A high index of physiological state in Oreochromis niloticus was found to be associated with increased water content in muscle tissue. No significant differences were found between the biochemical parameters in the muscles of fish with an increase in body size, and only in Channa striata did the proportion of minerals increase. The data obtained can be used in the organisation of rational feeding and maintenance of aquacultural species.

Published: July 2024

Objectives: Porcelain chipping and delamination are among the shortcomings of all-ceramic restorations. This study aimed to assess the effect of laser irradiation and sandblasting on shear bond strength (SBS) of zirconia to veneering porcelain.
Materials and Methods: In this in vitro, experimental study, 60 zirconia blocks were randomly divided into three groups (n=20) for surface treatment with Er:YAG laser, sandblasting, and no surface treatment (control). Each group was randomly divided into two subgroups (n=10) for porcelain application by the layering or the pressing technique. The surface roughness, SBS, and failure mode were determined and analyzed using two-way ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD test, Chi-square test, and Pearson’s correlation test (alpha=0.05).
Results: The mean SBS was 8.16±3.66 MPa, 9.32±2.7 MPa, and 11.85±3.06 MPa in the control, laser, and sandblasting groups, respectively. The SBS was significantly different among the three groups (P=0.002). The failure mode of the three groups was not significantly different (P>0.05). The sandblasted group showed significantly higher surface roughness than the control and laser groups (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Sandblasting yielded higher SBS particularly when the porcelain was applied by the layering technique. Although laser irradiation increased the SBS, the difference with the control group was not statistically significant.

Published: July 2024

Background: Busulfan plus cyclophosphamide (Bu/Cy) is considered one of the classical myeloablative conditioning regimens. However, its toxicity can significantly increase mortality rates. To reduce both acute and long-term complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), newer conditioning regimens are being investigated. The purposes of this study were to assess the efficacy and safety of busulfan plus cyclophosphamide (Bu/Cy) and busulfan plus fludarabine (Bu/Flu) conditioning regimen for allogeneic HSCT (allo-HSCT) in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).
Materials and Methods: We conducted a single-center, retrospective analysis of AML, both adults and children, who underwent either Bu/Cy or Bu/Flu conditioning regimen for allo-HSCT and received peripheral blood stem cell transplants from HLA-matched donors.
Results: From 2005 – 2019, 49 AML patients receiving Bu/Cy and 21 receiving Bu/Flu were identified, meeting inclusion criteria. The two groups showed no significant differences in age, gender, disease status pre-transplant, the median time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment. Bu/Flu patients had a shorter duration of neutropenia (median 7 days vs 10 days, p = 0.001) and shorter duration of thrombocytopenia (median 10 days vs 15 days, p = 0.016) than Bu/Cy.  No difference was observed in disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) between the two groups. Both univariate and multivariate analyses showed that age, disease status pre-transplant, and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) are related to worse DFS and OS.
Conclusion: With similar efficacy to Bu/Cy but faster neutrophil and platelet recovery time, Bu/Flu is suitable as a pre-HSCT conditioning regimen for patients with AML.

Authors: Cahuapaza-Gutierrez Nelson Luis , Campos-Escalante Tsuriel Sofía
Published: July 2024

Aplastic anemia (AA) is the prototypical bone marrow failure syndrome due to the destruction of hematopoietic stem cells by cytotoxic T cells. According to case reports, vaccines could lead to the development of AA. We conducted the present systematic review to evaluate cases of AA following vaccination against coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
We searched the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, and EMBASE in English, Portuguese, and Spanish languages until April 24, 2023. Published reports and case series on the occurrence of AA following vaccination against COVID-19 were included. The Joanna Brigs Institute was used to assess study quality and risk of bias.
Six studies were selected from 102 research studies and data were extracted according to the inclusion criteria. All case reports and case series reported the occurrence of AA following COVID-19 vaccination. AA events were mainly observed in vaccines with messenger ribonucleic acid technology (Moderna; Pfizer-BioNTech). AA was diagnosed by bone marrow biopsy and severity was determined by Camitta criteria.
All cases of AA were properly diagnosed. The sample size was small; therefore, further investigations are required to demonstrate and elucidate the complete pathophysiological mechanisms of AA development after receiving COVID-19 vaccination.
İNGİLİZ-RUS NÜFUZ ÇEKİŞMESİ ORTASINDA İSTENMEYEN BİR OSMANLI ELÇİSİ: MEHMED NAMIK PAŞA (1834-1835)
Authors: Dönmez Ahmet
Published: July 2024

Bu çalışmada, Tanzimat ve I. Meşrutiyet döneminin önde gelen devlet adamlarından Mehmed Namık Paşa’nın Londra elçiliği Osmanlı ve İngiliz arşiv belgelerine göre analiz edilmiş ve değerlendirilmiştir. Namık Paşa, devletin çeşitli kademelerinde görev almış, padişahlara danışmanlık yapmış bir diplomat, asker ve devlet adamıdır. Babıâli kalemlerinde başladığı kariyerine askerî sınıfa geçerek devam etmiş, Mehmed Ali Paşa isyanı ardından 1832 yılında yardım talebi için özel elçi olarak İngiltere’ye gönderilmiştir. İlk elçiliği ardından iki yıl sonra yeniden Londra elçiliğine tayin edilmiştir. Bu sırada Osmanlı Devleti’ni himayesine almaya ve Batı Avrupa devletleriyle ilişkisini kesmeye çalışan Rusya, elçi tayinini engellemeye uğraşmış; başarılı olamayınca Namık Paşa’yı kontrol altında tutmaya çalışmıştır. İngiltere ise Ahmed Fevzi Paşa gibi Rus taraftarı kişilerle bağlantısı ve daha önce Rusya’da görev alması sebebiyle Namık Paşa’ya şüpheyle yaklaşmıştır. İstanbul’daki İngiliz elçisinin onun Rus taraftarı olduğu yönünde gönderdiği raporlar sonucu Osmanlı elçisine karşı İngiliz yönetiminde bir güven sorunu oluşmuştur. Namık Paşa’nın görevlerini yerine getirebilmek için yaptığı girişimler ve kendine güvenen tavırları, fazlaca kibirli olan ve karşılarında kendine güvensiz bir kişi bekleyen İngilizleri rahatsız etmiştir. Namık Paşa’nın Rus taraftarı olduğu iddialarıyla bu sorunlar bir araya gelince onun İngiliz hükümetince istenmediği düşüncesi Babıâli’de değerlendirilmeye başlanmıştır. II. Mahmud, İngiltere’ye Mısır ve Cezayir meselelerinde duyulan ihtiyaç sebebiyle bulunduğu ülkede istenmeyen Namık Paşa’nın yerine başka bir elçi gönderilmesini kabul etmiştir.
GEÇ TUNÇ VE DEMİR ÇAĞI'NDA ANAIA: ARKEOLOJİK VE EPİGRAFİK VERİLER IŞIĞINDA YORUMLAR
Authors: Ürkmez Özden
Published: July 2024

Kadıkalesi Höyüğü kazılarında gerek sur dışından gerekse sur içinde bulunan hiçbir arkeolojik buluntu insitu değildir. Buna karşın çeşitli türlerdeki arkeolojik malzeme hem höyük hem de çevresi hakkında çok önemli bilgiler vermektedir. Seramik, plastik, mimari ve epigrafik tüm bu arkeolojik materyal, bölgenin en azından Kalkolitik Dönem'de iskân edildiğini gösterir. Höyüğün yaklaşık altı bin yıllık yaşamında onun nispeten altın çağı olarak Geç Tunç Çağı'nı görmek yanlış olmaz. Kadıkalesi'nin bu çağdaki adı belki de Nanuwasa'dır. Demir Çağı ile tüm Akdeniz Dünyası değişmiştir. Nanuwasa'da(?) bu değişimden nasibini olumsuz bir biçimde almış gibidir. Hiçbir zaman kesin olarak bağımsızlığını tam olarak kaybettiği söylenemese de sırasıyla en güçlü Ion kentlerinden olan Kolophon, Ephesos ve Samos tarafından İÖ. I. binyıl boyunca kontrol altında tutulduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Ayrıca bu dönemde isminin muhtemelen evrimleşerek Nanaia ve Anaia'ya dönüştüğü anlaşılır. Anaia ile ilgili diğer önemli bir husus ise onun yalnızca küçük bir kenti nitelemediğidir. Anaia aslında güneyini Mykale Dağı'nın sınırladığı, Kuşadası Körfezi'nin en güneyindeki tüm bölgenin antik adıdır. Kadıkalesi Höyüğü ise bu toprakların akropolisi/merkezi olmalıdır. Onun bu konumu en azından Roma Çağı'na gelindiğinde buradaki Hera ve Artemis kültlerinin filizlenmesine de neden olmuştur. Bu çağdan itibaren muhtemelen artık Neapolis olarak anılan kentin gerçek adının da aslında hiçbir zaman kaybolmadığı anlaşılır. Bu ad günümüze Anya olarak ulaşmıştır. Geç Tunç ve Demir Çağı'nda jeopolitik olarak son derece önemli bir kent olan Anaia'nın İÖ I. binyılın sonunda daha çok kutsal bir alana doğru evrilmesi, sonrasındaki Bizans Çağı'na da etki etmiş gibidir.
A DEZUMANIZAÇÃO NAZISTA: os processos de violência descritos por Elie Wiesel
Authors: Gonçalves Gustavo Reis , Rocha Ana Lila Carvalho
Published: July 2024

This work aims to reflect about the dehumanization described in survivor’s testimonies of nazism and the process used by regime to dehumanize the Jews that process began in the ghetto and ended in the concentration camp. It is bibliographical research, and the focus is the steps of the dehumanization process by survivors, especially, in Wiesel’s description. Also, the description by scholars of the area. To support this work, it approaches some authors as Rego (2014), Arendt (2012), Agamben (2002), Bauman (1998), Afonso (2017), Rocha (2018), and Fédida apud TESHAINER (2011), these authors have been reflecting about dehumanization, humanization, and the process of them. This is qualitative research and aims to reflect about the dehumanization process that was used in the twenty centuries, focusing on the nazism dehumanization description by Elie Wiesel. In that discussion we could perceive how the nazism uses that process to dehumanize Jews during the Third Reich (1933-1945), and this regime is considered a bigger historical catastrophe with new descriptions nowadays.
LAS CONFIGURACIONES DE LA MEMORIA EN LA NOVELA INDIGENISTA LA SERPIENTE DE ORO
Authors: Albuquerque Rosalia Dos Santos , Pereira Wagner Monteiro
Published: July 2024

The present work has the purpose of planting the configurations of memory in the novel La Serpiente de Oro, by the Peruvian author Ciro Alegría, considering the Latin American indigenist movement, its context and importance, especially in Peru, seeking to highlight primarily the changes in the political scenario and social development of Latinoamérica, and the more active participation of indigenous peoples in Latin American society during the 19th century. In this way, with the aim of understanding the field of the literary production of the indigenist movement, Indigenism, the investigation is based on conjectures of anthropologists and historians such as Menezes (2015), who in the light of Baud (2003) support the conjecture of that Indigenism was a political and literary movement. In addition, this investigation analyzes the memorialistic questions in the previously mentioned narrative, considering, for example, the assumptions of Maurice Halbwachs in “A Memoria Coletiva” (2006). The literary critic manifests the idea that memory, when at a certain moment it is lost in new societies, the only way to keep them safe is through a narrative. In this sense, the indigenist soap operas, as well as the (authentic) indigenist movement, had the function of keeping indigenous memories safe, because it considers the reality of the indigenous person, as a man of the land.
CATÁSTROFE E RESISTÊNCIA NA AMAZÔNIA CONTEMPORÂNEA: uma análise discursiva do conto Mamí tinha razão, de João Meirelles Filho
Authors: Souza Irisvaldo Laurindo de , Sarmento-Pantoja Tânia
Published: July 2024

This communication proposes to analyse, from the perspective of comparative studies and landscape theory, the poem Canción de jinete, by Federico García Lorca, and the Brazilian resistance poetry produced after the military coup of 1964 (Ferreira Gullar, Thiago de Mello, mimeograph generation, etc.). To this end, theoretical and philosophical contributions on landscape and complexity (Claudio Guillén, Michel Collot, Anne Cauquelin, Agustín Berque, Alain Roger, Gilles Deleuze, Manuel Ángel Vázquez-Medel, Èdouard Glissant) will be taken as support to seek parallels and similarities, in the construction of the forbidden landscape, between the Spanish poet and Brazilian poetry. Military dictatorships have disastrous consequences on any community and one of the most persecuted segments, due to its power of persuasion, is the artistic/intellectual. Murders, torture and exile are the main resources used by usurpers to silence the voices of those who resist living under the shadow of totalitarianism. As a cultural construct, the literary landscape is influenced by the space-time circumstances in which the poet finds himself. The landscape apprehended in experiences of oppression and exile records the violence that human beings can exercise in situations of power, remaining as a historical testimony of a tragedy that should not be repeated, nor forgotten.
ASPECTOS DO MARAVILHOSO EM CONTOS AMAZÔNICOS E EM CEM ANOS DE SOLIDÃO
Authors: Almeida Keury Naiane Silva de , Almeida Carlos Henrique Lopes de
Published: July 2024

Comparative study that points out aspects of the marvelous in the works Contos Amazônicos (2014), by Juan Carlos Galeano and One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967), by Gabriel Garcia Márquez, both Colombian authors. According to Irlema Chiampi (1980), the marvelous is traditionally described in literary creation as the intervention of supernatural beings: gods, angels, fairies, demons, causing amazement and surprise in the listener or reader. The methodological procedures were based on qualitative analyzes of a bibliographic nature, as follows: reading of the corpus Contos amazônicos (2014) and Cem anos de solitude (1967), reading of the theorists who supported this work and which we will see below and finally, the fragmentary and reflective exposition of this aspect, the Marvelous, in the works. To this end, the main theorists who supported this research are: Rodrigues (1992); Chiampi (1980); Paes Loureiro (1994); Pizarro (2005) and Fernandes (2015). From the observation of the myths in Galeano's work and the scenes in Márquez's novel, we conclude that the Marvelous is a common aspect between the works and even more so, that it is an identity aspect of Latin America, as both authors deal with the Latin America in his works points out this reality that mixes the natural and the supernatural, that is, a Wonderful reality.
VIOLÊNCIA E MEDO EM A ILHA DA IRA DE JOÃO DE JESUS PAES LOUREIRO
Authors: Costa Dyellem Silva da , Sarmento-Pantoja Tânia
Published: July 2024

This work intends to analyze some representations of violence and fear in the dramaturgical narrative A Ilha da Ira (1975), by João de Jesus Paes Loureiro. This investigation is built on the hypothesis that the character “A Velha”, the ruler of the island where the actions of the narrative are developed, is characterized according to the elements of the Dictator and strongly associated with Sovereignty. To account for this hypothesis, we use two formulations to analyze the narrative, namely: the relationship between history and fiction; the appropriations directed to the mythical imaginary as a response to the conflicting reality, associated with the history-fiction relationship. As for the story-fiction pair, we note that the narrative dialogues with a set of references to authoritarianism in the Amazon – the uprising of Cabanagem and the 1964 Civil-Military Dictatorship. In relation to the real-imaginary, intertextual dialogues with elements of classical mythology – the Medusa myth; and mythical-legendary – the Amazonian legend of Matintaperera. In this way, we consider some theoretical questions, to understand the study about violence and fear and its ramifications in the process of understanding and analyzing the narrative. In this context, our starting point is the reflections of Walter Benjamin, Jaime Ginzburg, Elias Canetti and Tânia Sarmento-Pantoja to articulate the studies of violence and fear in the literary work.
MEMÓRIA E TESTEMUNHO EM BATISMO DE SANGUE, DE FREI BETTO
Authors: Santos Maria Fátima Paula dos
Published: July 2024

This article aims to discuss memory and testimony in the book Baptism of Blood, by Frei Carlos Alberto Libânio Christo, aka Frei Betto, based on the intersection between memory and testimony. To better understand the relationship presented in this work, we resort to the concepts of memory and testimony in light of studies by Bérgson (1999); Halbwachs (1990); Sarmento-Pantoja (2019, 2021); Seligmann-Silva (2001, 2003) and others. In the case of Baptism of Blood, we studied the testimony from the perspective of values, ethics and respect for individuals, thus imbued in the Dominican order. It is a narrative of resistance by Frei Betto, which stands out for narrating his and his confreres' experience during the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship. This account of memories is presented in the testimony through testis, superstes and arbiter. The first is the one who witnesses the facts narrated, but is not the survivor; the second is the one who witnesses what he experienced, he is also the survivor; and the last, as Sarmento-Pantoja highlights, is the one who has the power to narrate while knowing the fact that was previously narrated to him. As a result, we observed that testimonial voices help to understand the memory and experiences of Dominicans, lived during the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship.
PRECARIEDADE, OUTRIDADE E MEMÓRIA: OUTRA PERSPECTIVA DE ANÁLISE EM ANTES DO PASSADO, O SILÊNCIO QUE VEM DO ARAGUAIA
Authors: Silva Deurilene Sousa
Published: July 2024

This article aims to analyze the relationship between precariousness, otherness and memory, in the narrative Antes do Past, o silencio que vem do Araguaia (2012), by Liniane Haag Brum. For theoretical-methodological basis on memory, we used the discussions by Halbwachs (1990); Butler (2019), as a reference for analyzing precarious life; Benjamin (1987), on experience and poverty, and also Lévinas (1988), on the status of the Other. In this reflection we point out how the precariousness of silencing interferes with the narrator's remembrance, and equally makes it difficult to establish the otherness of the missing uncle.

Authors: Guin Aritra , Korav Santosh , Hirani Akshay Kanjibhai , Banik Biswajyoti
Published: July 2024

Background: In India, mustard, an essential oilseed crop, encounters several challenges including diminished yield and environmental apprehensions. The diligent mix of micronutrients and plant growth regulators indicates the potential for enhancing mustard crop output while retaining environmental sustainability. Manganese and salicylic acid play a vital role in plant metabolism. Methods: The trial was planned with ten treatments with three replications under randomized complete block design. The treatments consisted of control, varying concentrations of salicylic acid (75, 150, 300 ppm), varying concentrations of manganese (0.25, 0.5, 0.75 mM MnSO4) and combinations of both. Result: The experimental findings indicate the synergistic use of salicylic acid and manganese resulted in enhanced growth dynamics and improved yield potential compared to the separate treatments of manganese and salicylic acid. The exogenous application of 0.5 mM manganese with 150 ppm salicylic acid increased plant height by 10.83%, total dry matter by 49.6%, chlorophyll content by 51.61%, number of siliquae by 81.94%, test weight by 5.8%, grain yield by 41.26% and stover yield by 48.76% over the control. Growth and yield attributes positively correlated with grain and stover yield. Hence the application of both 0.5 mM Mn with 150 ppm SA is feasible for enhancement of Indian mustard productivity.
Forest Fire Hazards and Livelihood Vulnerability Assessment of Ghumsur Forests in Ganjam District of Odisha
Authors: Behera Sudarshan , Jena Damodar , Dibiat Nibal , Mohapatra Debasish , Mishra Abha , Rout Rajkishore
Published: July 2024

Background: The livelihood patterns of indigenous tribal communities residing in the Ghumsur forests are intricately interwoven with their dependence on forest-related activities. However, the degradation of forest ecosystems, particularly the incidence of forest fires, exerts a profound impact on the socio-economic dynamics and resilience of these communities. Consequently, an exigent need arises to comprehensively elucidate, evaluate and comprehend the nuanced characteristics of these areas concerning the complex interplay between forest fires and livelihoods. Methods: A thorough investigation was conducted to evaluate livelihood vulnerability to forest fires in the Ghumsur North Division forests. This assessment utilized the Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI), incorporating 34 indicators condensed into six factors for a comprehensive composite index. The factors represented various aspects of vulnerability and were based on tangible indicators reflecting the complexity of livelihood vulnerability. Data sources were primarily used, with indicators standardized on a scale from 0 to 1, where values near 1 indicated higher vulnerability. Result: The Gallery sub-region is particularly vulnerable due to factors like poor infrastructure, increased reliance on forests, close proximity to forested areas, socio-economic fragility and exposure to extreme weather events. It’s crucial to improve adaptive capacity in fire-affected regions to reduce vulnerability to forest fires. Tailored policy interventions should focus on sector-specific development programs and involve communities in adaptation planning to address the link between livelihoods and susceptibility to forest fires.

The aim of the present study was to determine the extenders such as calcium-free saline, Ringer’s solution and phosphate buffer and to determine the effect of different concentrations of cryoprotectants with different duration of exposure for short term storage of mud crab, Scylla tranquebarica sperm cells. A total of 30 mud crabs were used in the present study. In the present study, three treatments with three replicates were tested to determine the suitable extender. Besides, three treatments (dimethyl sulfoxide, glycine and glycerol) were tested to determine the suitable cryoprotectants. Eight treatments (25, 20, 16, 4, 2, -4, -20 and -80 °C) were assessed to determine the optimal cooling rate. The result showed the phosphate buffer solution produced the highest sperm viability (82.36 ± 5.84 %) after 60 min compared the Calcium free saline and Ringer’s solution. The results for sperm viability at -4 °C, -20 C and -80 °C after 24 hours were 95.63   0.13 % (5 % glycine), 91.51 ± 1.91 % (5 % DMSO) and 93.97 ± 0.43 % (5 % glycine). By using the 5 % glycine as the best cryoprotectant, the results for the sperm viability in 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, day 7, day 14 and day 21 at 80 °C were 95.17 ± 0.92 %, 94.11 ± 0.64 %, 93.31 ± 0.51 %, 90.84 ± 2.05 % and 82.82 ± 0.41 %. In a nutshell, the phosphate buffer and 5 % glycine were the best extender and cryoprotectant in the present study.

Studies were carried out in the most affected by the Chernobyl accident part of the Bryansk region, in the ecosystems of floodplains of the Iput, Besed and Unecha rivers, in zones with different 137Cs pollution density. The purpose of the work is to study the peculiarities of the vertical distribution of 137Cs in the soil–plant system of the floodplain landscape long after the Chernobyl accident. As a result of studies, it was revealed that the vertical distribution of 137Cs, in the 0–20 cm layer, is determined by the position on the relief and the genesis of the soils of floodplain subsystems. The distribution character can be uniform, decreasing with depth, or with accumulation in certain layers. In the floodplain ecosystem, the concentration of 137Cs in the 0–20 cm layer increases from the river channel to the terrace above floodplain subsystems. Currently, the use of the territory of the west of the Bryansk region with a 137Cs pollution density above 555 kBq/m2 in feed production is strictly limited. The coefficient of 137Cs transition from soil to plants decreases from the central part to the near-channel one and to terrace above floodplain.
Dunia tanpa Islam: Pergulatan Wacana Seputar Agama sebagai Sumber Konflik di Indonesia

Published: July 2024

Meskipun banyak legitimasi yang mengatakan bahwa tidak ada agama yang mengajarkan permusuhan, namun pada kenyataannya konflik kerap mewarnai kehidupan beragama. Banyaknya konflik yang muncul dan berkaitan dengan agama akhirnya membawa diskursus akademik pada suatu pergulatan di kalangan para pemikir terkait wacana agama sebagai sumber konflik. Artikel ini menyoroti konflik-konflik yang terjadi di Indonesia sebagai buah bibir dari diskursus para pemikir. Artikel ini ditulis dengan cara mengeksplorasi sejumlah literatur terkait untuk dapat menggambarkan bagaimana wacana tersebut diperdebatkan. Beberapa ayat Al-Qur’an serta penafsirannya juga disertakan sebagai penegas argumen dan posisioning penulis dalam wacana tersebut. Di tataran nasional, para pemikir dalam negeri terbagi menjadi dua kubu antara yang mengatakan agama sebagai sumber konflik dan tidak. Dalam taraf internasional, wacana ini bahkan sampai pada anggapan atas agama terutama Islam sebagai sebuah ancaman. Beberapa pemikir Barat pun melontarkan ide dunia tanpa Islam atau bahkan tanpa agama. Artikel ini berkesimpulan bahwa konflik yang bernuansa agama memuat banyak unsur kompleks sehingga tidak bisa serta merta agama dijadikan kambing hitam atas segala persoalan. Terlebih, perilaku umat beragama akan menentukan bagaimana wajah agama di tengah masyarakat sehingga memperbaiki perilaku beragama adalah kunci daripada berandai-andai untuk menghilangkan agama itu sendiri.

This research aims to capture the efforts of the Madurese people in maintaining family resilience through a cultural approach, as well as to examine the harmony and alignment between the values of the séré pénang tradition as part of the cultural approach and the principles of Islamic law. The research employs a literature review approach, utilizing scholarly sources related to the overarching themes of tradition and Islamic law. The data analysis follows an interactive analysis model. The findings indicate that Madurese people, rich in cultural, traditional, and heritage values, have adopted a cultural approach as part of their efforts to strengthen family resilience. A concrete effort in this regard is the implementation of the séré pénang Tradition, regarded as a symbol of family commitment. This tradition has positive implications for enhancing the resilience of family components to both internal and external pressures. The evaluation of the séré pénang Tradition demonstrates its alignment with the principles of Islamic law, both directly and indirectly, without conflicting with the concepts and principles of Islamic law.

Tanulmányunkban az egyre nagyobb relevanciával bíró otthoni (home office), valamint a hagyományos irodai munkavégzési forma megítélésének implicit és explicit összehasonlítását végeztük. Kutatásunk során a két munkavégzési módhoz köthető tudatos és tudatalatti asszociációkat, preferenciákat vizsgáltuk meg implicit asszociációs teszt (IAT), valamint egy önbevallásos kérdőív segítségével. Célunk az volt, hogy bemutassuk, mik a különbségek a home office, vagyis az otthoni munkavégzés, valamint az irodai munka tudatos, illetve tudatalatti megítélése között, és igazoljuk, hogy a neuromarketing eszköztára, főképp az implicit asszociációs teszt hasznos információkat szolgáltat a munkavállalói attitűdökről. Eredményeink szerint a home office iránti implicit preferencia inkább az idősebb korosztályban azonosítható.

Nowadays, transactions carried out with digital currencies are increasing. Modern societies are asked to respond to growing challenges related to the management of digital currencies in their daily lives. However, due to the lack of digital skills of users, the management of digital currencies hides risks. To the best of our knowledge, the originality of the current research lies in the act of combining the concept of digital skills with the use of digital currencies. After all, the use of digital currencies is constantly increasing, which means that citizens should familiarize themselves with their use, an element that makes this study valuable for digital societies. Digital skills effectively contribute to the development of digital societies because they increase the employment of citizens, facilitate access to information, and contribute to the social inclusion of individuals through digital communication, while also increasing efficiency and productivity in the workplace. Also, the government and banking institutions can more effectively sensitize citizens to digital skills for more effective use of digital currencies. In this way, tax payments will be facilitated, the use of e-wallets will be safer, and e-governance will be greatly promoted, while the quality of banking services will be improved. The methodology of this study was based on the Digital Competence Framework for Modern Societies (DigComp) and was applied through a questionnaire completed by 443 respondents. The main objective was to evaluate their digital skills from the perspective of digital currency use. The analysis of the responses was carried out by using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The most important result from this research reveals that users of digital currencies are significantly capable of developing communication to solve everyday problems. At the same time, users of digital currencies mostly detect digital threats and effectively manage fake news without being affected by them. However, users of digital currencies consider that security issues are important, but only for transactions and not for their supporting functions. The study concludes with suggestions for improving the experience of digital currency users through individual actions, thus having a positive impact on the state and banking institutions.
