Evaluation of Heavy Metal Concentrations in Water, Sediment and Fishes of New Calabar River in Southern Nigeria
Authors: CHRİS Davis , EKPERUSİ Abraham
Published: October 2021

The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of heavy metals in surface water, sediment and selected fish samples in New Calabar River. Samples for analyses were collected for six months across three stations between 08:00 and 12:00 hrs on each sampling day. Physicochemical parameters and metals in water, sediments and tissues of fishes were analyzed following standard procedure using a spectrophotometer. In surface waters, iron, nickel and zinc were above recommended limit while in sediments chromium, iron, nickel, lead and zinc were above the limit. No significant differences were observed in metal concentration in the tissues of the three species. The levels of heavy metals reported in Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus, Tilapia zilli and Papyrocranus afer were higher than that reported in surface waters and sediment, indicating bioaccumulation potentials of metals in fishes. Among the three species, the highest metal concentration was reported in the tissues of T. zilli followed by P. afer and C. nigrodigitatus. The presence of elevated non-essential metals like chromium and lead in fishery products of the New Calabar River requires regular assessment, regulatory and mitigative actions to reduce the burden of metal accumulation in human population through consumption of fishery products.
Конструктивизм в Иваново-Вознесенск: перипетии строительства здания Ивсельбанка
Authors: Околотин Владимир Сергеевич
Published: October 2021

Статья посвящена перипетиям истории проектирования и строительства здания Иваново-Вознесенского губернского сельскохозяйственного кредитного союза (Ивсельбанка) в городе Иваново-Вознесенске в 1927–1928 годах. Оно было построено по проекту советского конструктивиста В. А. Веснина, выбранному по итогам конкурса. В исследованиях градостроительного наследия основное внимание традиционно уделяют деятельности авторов проектов, пренебрегая ролью заказчиков и подрядчиков в осуществлении архитектурного замысла. Реализуемый в данной статье подход, напротив, стремится снять эту асимметрию: автор детально прослеживает все этапы строительства — от конкурса проектов и поиска финансирования до приемки здания, а также сеть связей между заказчиком, архитектором, финансовыми учреждениями, подрядчиками и местной прессой. Например, обсуждаются специфика поиска финансирования и территории, переговоров с подрядчиками. В центре же внимания оказывается сотрудничество председателя Ивсельбанка А. Н. Спиридонова и В. А. Веснина на всем протяжении строительства. Исследование проведено на основе архивных документов, в том числе впервые вводимых в научный оборот.

Pregnancy marks a unique milestone in woman’s life cycle enriched with an array of physical, psychological, social and even spiritual needs. In this context, an optimal level of oral health status has become fundamental to overall health and well-being of a pregnant woman. This is evident more than ever before, for preventing exacerbation of poor oral health in pregnancy, possible control of adverse pregnancy outcomes whilst ensuring low risk for early childhood dental caries for the offspring. Nevertheless, pregnancy renders special oral health needs for a woman compounded by changes in dietary habits, oral hygiene practices and hormonal changes thereby increasing the risk of dental caries and periodontitis. The possible link between Periodontitis and adverse outcomes in pregnancy is well known. The pandemic caused by acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) compounded by emergence more virulent strains not only indelibly impacted on population, countries, economies and health systems across the globe but exposed vulnerable population groups to pervasive health catastrophes. There is accumulating concerns on periodontitis linking with severe complications of Covid-19 attributed to commonalities of exacerbated inflammatory responses. Moreover, adverse Covid-19 induced maternal and fetal outcomes has garnered attention of researchers based on the previous knowledge indicating adverse outcomes attributed to epidemics of human corona viruses. However, it is not known how maternal oral hygiene status and burden of periodontitis impact on Covid-19 induced adverse outcomes in pregnancy. However, it could be rational to argue that poor oral health of a pregnant woman could elevate her risks for adverse health outcomes. Oral health care in pregnancy has received recognition as an essential element of comprehensive antenatal health care provision. However, the persistent global public health emergency of Covid-19 has profoundly impacted on availability of and accessibility to routine oral health care services. Therefore, accessing routine oral health care services poses serious causes for concern among pregnant women. Against this backdrop, present opinion attempts to explore and expound the potential of preventive oral health care could offer to mitigate the potential risks of Covid-19 induced adverse maternal outcomes embracing the context of Sri Lanka: a developing lower middle-income country.
Dijital Karşılaşmalar: Taktiksel Sanat Müdahalelerinin Politikası
Authors: AKÇIL Kevser
Published: October 2021

İnternetin sağladığı ağ ortamı, yeni etkileşim ve iletişim biçimlerinin oluşmasına neden olmuştur. Katılımcıların artmasıyla gelişen ağ ortamı sayesinde sanatçılar bilgisayar teknolojileri ile çalışarak hem sanal ortamda sanatsal ifade biçimlerini deneyimlemiş; hem de güncel ekonomik, sosyal ve politik konuları taktiksel açıdan gündeme getirip, mevcut kapitalist sistemlere meydan okuyan, geçici müdahalelerde bulunmuşlardır. Dijital medya aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilen taktiksel yöntemleri incelemeden önce makalede taktiksel sanat hareketlerinin düşünsel ve tarihsel zeminini oluşturan 1960’lardaki gündelik hayatın içinde gerçekleşen, anlık etki yaratan avangart hareketler incelenmiştir. 1990’larda tanımlanan taktik, strateji, taktiksel medya ve taktiksel eğlence kavramları açıklanmış ve taktiksel sanat müdahale yöntemleri Christian Scholl’ün sanatsal müdahale, Nicholas Bourrioud ve Claire Bishop’ın ilişkisel estetik metinleri, Hardt ve Negri’nin çokluk, Antonio Gramsci’nin kültürel hegemonya teorileriyle ilişkilendirilmiştir. Son bölümde ise, Paolo Cirio’nun Loophole for All çalışmasının taktiksel yapısı incelenerek dijital ortamda sosyal ilişkilerle gerçekleşen ilişkisel estetik ve katılımcı çalışmalara benzer şekilde ilişkilerin, çatışma ya da uzlaşma sağlanarak dijital ağ üzerinde ve ağ sayesinde karşılaşmalar kurulabileceği öne sürülmüştür. Ancak aktivist, sanatsal, anlık hareketler sokakta ve hayatta fiilen toplumsal dönüşüme yönelik ve müdahaleye açık gerçekleştirilirken; taktiksel medya ile karşılaşmaların internet ve teknoloji sayesinde sanal ortamda toplumsal dönüşümü hedefleyen salt pragmatist tavırla ya da salt sanatsal ve sosyal söylemlerin ötesinde bir özerklik üretimi potansiyeli taşıdığı ifade edilmiştir.
Teaching of Great Seljuk history subjects in secondary school history textbooks of Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Iraq, and Turkey
Authors: KURT Burak , TURAN Refik
Published: October 2021

Due to the understanding of national history, states give priority to their national history in history textbooks. However, nations with a common past, interconnected and regionally close have historically similar aspects and common pasts. Another factor that facilitates this phenomenon is the great states in history that dominated large geographies. In this sense, the Great Seljuk State has the feature of being a state that is mentioned both in Turkish history and in the geography where it was founded and under its rule. In this study, it is aimed to analyze the Seljuk history subjects in the history and social studies textbooks recently taught in Iran, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Iraq, and Turkey secondary schools located in the Seljuk geography. In the research the descriptive screening method, which is widely used in the social sciences, was used. The historical subjects of the Great Seljuk State were divided into periods and a comparison was made between the textbooks. On the history of the Great Seljuks in the textbooks, it has been focused on which subjects are mentioned and how the subjects are depicted with an image. Are questions that reinforce historical subjects and measure students' success included in the textbooks? Are there reading passages and visuals, where the student can better understand historical subjects, etc. The answers to the questions were sought. The results obtained in the study are tabulated. As a result of the study, there are differences in the information outside of some basic topics such as the Battle of Manzikert, the topics focused on, and the educational layout of textbooks.

Published: October 2021

To study the heterogeneity of complex tissues by joint profiling of gene expression and its regulation, we require an accurate and high-throughput method. Here we described improved high-throughput combinatorial indexing-based single-nucleus chromatin accessibility and mRNA expression sequencing 2 (SNARE-Seq2) co-assay. This protocol involves fixing and permeabilizing the nucleus followed by tagmentation, chromatin barcode ligation, reverse transcription, pooling and splitting for the next rounds of cell barcode ligation into cDNA and accessible chromatin (AC) on the same nucleus. The captured cDNA and AC are co-amplified before splitting and enrichment into single-nucleus RNA and single-nucleus AC sequencing libraries. The protocol can also be applied to both nuclei and whole cells to capture mRNA in the cytoplasm. This improvement allows us to generate hundreds of thousands of data set of each assay and can be scaled up to half a million cells from a single experiment. The entire procedure can be complete in 3.5 d for generating joint single-nucleus RNA and single-nucleus ATAC sequencing libraries.
Strengthening External Emergency Assistance for Managing Extreme Events, Systemic, and Transboundary Risks in Asia
Authors: Prabhakar Sivapuram Venkata Rama Krishna , Tamura Kentaro , Okano Naoyuki , Ikeda Mariko
Published: October 2021

External emergency assistance (EEA) provided in the aftermath of a disaster has costs and benefits to the donor and recipient countries. Donors benefit from quick recovery feedback effects from the trade and cultural links, and recipient countries have additional resources to manage the emergency. However, EEA costs could outweigh the benefits. Costs include dependency, low development of risk reduction capacity, and staff burdened with managing the assistance as opposed to managing the recovery. Current efforts to reduce dependency on EEA are not sufficient; they are based on limited past experiences with extreme events and are not based on the understanding of future risks. In this article, we present the concept of a climate fragility risk index showing factors that affect a country’s predisposition to be fragile to climate change threats and we suggest that countries with a high climate fragility risk index tend to depend on EEA. Further, the article presents the concept of critical thresholds for extreme events as a metric to identify possible dependency on EEA. In addition, based on expert and policy consultations organized in the Philippines and Pakistan, we identify measures that can enhance the effectiveness of EEA including targeted EEA provision, better integration of lessons learned from the relief stage into the rest of the DRR operations, proper documentation of past assistance experiences and consideration of these lessons for the improvement of EEA in the future, as well as developing tools such as critical threshold concepts that can better guide the donor and recipient countries on more effective delivery of EEA.

Published: October 2021

The procedure for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in agricultural products on the example of five crops (rapeseed, sunflower, flax, corn, soybeans) by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed. It was showed the advantage of using binary mixtures of organic solvents "hexanedichloromethane" for PAH extraction. The time of Soxhlet extraction is from 6 to 8 hours at optimized conditions. The fractionation and purification of extracts by column chromatography on deactivated alumina was optimized. The article presents the optimization of sample injection in the programmed temperature vaporization (PTV) mode, parameters of gas chromatographic separation and mass spectrometric detection in determining 16 priority PAH in agricultural products. The recoveries, correctness and accuracy of the proposed method were checked by “spikes” with concentrations 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 μg kg-1. The linearity of the method was determined by calibration curves obtained for three measurements of calibration solutions with concentrations of 0.5-100 ng mL-1. The effectiveness of the proposed combination of sample preparation and analysis by PTV-GC-MS was studied for linearity, accuracy, matrix effects and reproducibility. The method was validated by linearity, accuracy, matrix effect and reproducibility.
In-Vessel Headspace Liquid Phase Microextraction Coupled to Spectrophotometry for Iodate Determination
Authors: Tamen Aimad-Eddine , Vishnikin Andriy
Published: October 2021

A new, highly sensitive and selective method for the spectrophotometric determination of iodate is developed based on the in-vessel mode of headspace liquid phase microextraction (IV-HS-LPME). The approach involves converting iodate to vapor iodine with excess of iodide and extracting it into a 50 μL of 1 % potassium iodide, which exposed to the headspace in a specially designed vessel. The extraction proceeds from 8 mL of aqueous solution containing 0.24 mmol L-1 of iodide and 0.5 mol L-1 of Na2SO4 after injection of 2 mL of 25 % H2SO4. The complete equilibrium is established after the aqueous solution stirred at 1200 rpm for 20 minutes. After that, the triiodide complex formed in the acceptor phase is withdrawn with a microsyringe and transferred to a 50 μL quartz micro cell with a 10 mm path length, where the absorbance is measured at 288 or 350 nm. The calibration graph is linear (r2 = 0.9998) in the range of 4 to 180 μg L-1 (as IO3-) with a detection limit of 1.5 μg L-1. The developed method has a high precision of 0.5 – 1.4 %. It was successfully applied to the determination of iodate in table salt, sea, and mineral water samples.

The decidual tissue performs numerous functions during pregnancy to provide for the progress of pregnancy and embryo development. These numerous functions initiate the participation of several cell types in the realization of decidual functioning. Decidual cells replace uterine epithelium and form a new cell barrier between the mother and the fetus. Proliferation activity of endometrial cells of front and back walls of uterus is changing different types during the implantation. The implantation of embryo into a back wall of uterus is a signal for increasing of proliferation activity of endometrial cells into the front wall of uterus.

Unlike from this, the implantation of embryo into the front wall of uterus is not accompanied with increasing proliferation activity of endometrial cells of back wall of uterus.

While pregnancy continue the process of placentation starts and it is accompanied with decreasing of proliferation activity of endometrial cells of a back wall of uterus.The placentation into the front wall of uterus result in high level of endometrial cells death into the front wall of uterus.

Para determinar la prevalencia de clamidiosis en un rebano caprino con problemas de aborto en el centro de Sinaloa, México, se realizó un estudio transversal que incluyo a siete machos y 135 hembras con parto o aborto reciente. Adicionalmente, 32 de las 135 hembras fueron seleccionadas para realizar un estudio longitudinal por dos periodos consecutivos de partos/abortos. Chlamydia abortus se identifico mediante aislamiento y las muestras positivas se confirmaron mediante PCR. La prevalencia de clamidiosis fue de 55.6 % en las hembras (75/135), en las cuales se presentaron 69 partos y seis abortos. Únicamente 10/75 muestras positivas fueron confirmadas por PCR. En los machos, 2/7 muestras resultaron positivas mediante aislamiento. En el estudio longitudinal, se incrementó en 41.6 veces la posibilidad (OR=0.024, IC 95 %: 0.002-0.299) de tener un resultado positivo durante el segundo periodo de evaluación. De acuerdo con el análisis multivariado, se presentó una asociación entre la positividad a clamidiosis, la edad de las hembras y el número de partos. Estos resultados representan el primer reporte de C. abortus en un rebano caprino del estado de Sinaloa. Se requieren más estudios que evalúen la prevalencia y distribución de C. abortus en México para comprender mejor el impacto de la clamidiosis sobre la salud y producción animal.
The Effects of Natural Landscapes on Inspiration: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Daniel Brad , Shores Jim , Faircloth W. Brad
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the relationship between natural landscapes and inspiration through the lens of topophilia—the affinity people have for certain places or landscape features. Participants were students on a traveling college field course called American Ecosystems. The 2015 course (n=15, 26 days) visited 19 U.S. National Parks, Monuments, and Grasslands. The 2017 course (n=15, 18 days) visited 14 locations. On both courses, students studied the flora, fauna, ecology, climate, geology, landforms, and environmental issues associated with each location. Four factors emerged that encouraged inspiration: 1) vertical landscape features, 2) direct and varied experience of place, 3) overcoming personal challenges provided by the landscapes, 4) novel experiences. Students ranked landscapes as more inspirational if they spent more time there, had opportunity to see and learn about them from a greater number of vantage points, and had more direct and varied experiences within them.

Evaluation in Interaction: The Pragmatic Approach to Artistic Judgement
Authors: Lewandowska Kamila
Published: October 2021

The aim of this paper is to discuss the pragmatic approach to studying artistic evaluation. The paper engages with recent literature and examines current trends in research on amateur and expert artistic judgement, arguing that the pragmatic scholarship has much to offer to the sociology of art and culture. It demonstrates the growth of qualitative research inspired by interpretivist approaches and symbolic interactionism, highlighting the main areas of researchers’ interest, such as (1) (Social) interaction between evaluators and artistic objects, or (2) Pragmatic rules and the situational character of artistic evaluation. This paper also identifies research gaps and provides directions for future research.
Dilip Kumar: An Auteur Actor
Authors: Rehman Sharaf
Published: October 2021

Dilip Kumar has been praised for his sublime dialog delivery, for his restrained gestures, and for his measured and controlled underplay of emotions in tragic stories as well as in light-hearted comedies. His debut in 1944 with Jwar Bhata (Ebb and Tide) met with less-than-flattering reviews. So did the next three films until his 1948 film, Jugnu (Firefly), which brought him recognition and success. Unlike his contemporaries such as Raj Kapoor and Dev Anand, who propelled their careers by launching their own production companies, Dilip Kumar relied on his talent, his unique approach to characterization, and his immersion in the projects he undertook. In the course of his career that spanned six decades, Kumar made only 62 films. However, his work is a textbook for other actors that followed. Not only did he bring respectability to a profession that had been shunned by the upper classes in India as a profession for “pimps and prostitutes,” but he also elevated film-acting and filmmaking to an academic discipline, making him worthy of the title ‘Professor Emeritus of Acting’. Rooted in the theoretical framework of Howard S. Becker’s work on the “production of culture” and “doing things together,” this paper discusses Kumar’s approach to acting, character development, and the level of his involvement and commitment to each of his projects. The author of this article argues that more than the creative control as a producer or a director, it is the artistic involvement and commitment of the main actors that shape great works of art in cinema. Dilip Kumar demonstrated it repeatedly.
Soberanía Vs Transparencia

La deuda pública es destino. Como ejemplo basta ver un mapa de América del Norte de las primeras décadas del siglo XX. Hasta 1934, esta región continental estaba ocupada por cuatro países: México, Estado Unidos, Canadá y Terranova; esta última, era una nación independiente dentro de la Mancomunidad Británica, pero una crisis de endeudamiento transformó a este país, con bandera e himno nacional, en una provincia más dentro del vasto territorio de Canadá. Terranova era un país con 280 mil habitantes, tenía el segundo parlamento más antiguo del imperio británico y casi 80 años de tradición democrática. Ante la imposibilidad de cubrir la deuda externa y en medio
del enojo colectivo, el Parlamento decidió disolverse y reconocer a Londres como el nuevo centro de autoridad. Años más tarde, en 1949, el Parlamento de Westminster decidió que Terranova se convertiría en la décima provincia de Canadá.

y que fueron adaptados a México por Martínez Serna
y Pinzón (2009).
Material y método: Se aplicó un cuestionario a los
propietarios y/o gerentes de los establecimientos, este
utiliza la escala de Likert; los resultados son evaluados
con el paquete SPSS 15, obteniendo las medias de
cada una de las variables evaluadas para establecer
el grado de orientación al mercado.
Resultados: La investigación comprueba que el
modelo puede ser aplicado a las empresas medianas
y grandes de esta rama del sector servicios de la
economía mexicana.
Conclusiones: La mayor parte de las empresas
del sector servicio (hospitales y clínicas) de los dos
Estados, tienen un alto grado de Orientación al
Mercado, aunque el Estado de Aguascalientes cuenta
con un mayor número de empresas con un grado de
OM bajo, por lo anterior se elaboran una serie de
estrategias que al ser aplicadas podrían mejorar el
grado de OM de las empresas que se encuentran en
el nivel bajo e incrementar la competitividad.

Objective: Research shows the degree of market
orientation (MO) that the companies (hospitals and
clinics) have in the states of Aguascalientes and
Tabasco by using the model of market orientation
developed by Kohli and Jaworski (1990), and Narver
and Slater (1990), which was adapted to Mexico by
Martinez Serna and Pinzon (2009).
Material and method: A questionnaire that uses the
Likert scale is applied to the owners and/or managers
of establishments; the results are evaluated with the
SPSS 15 package to calculate the mean of each of
the evaluated variables so that the degree of market
orientation is determined.
Results: The research demonstrates that the model
can be applied to medium and large companies of this

Conclusions: Most of the companies in the service
sector (hospitals and clinics) of both states have a
high degree of market orientation, although the state
of Aguascalientes has a greater number of companies
with a low MO degree, that is why a series of strategies
are developed so that they could be applied in order
