Published: June 2021

Benincasa hispida (B.hispida) is a potential bioactive herb with a wide range of pharmacological actions.  Diabetes wound healing effect of effect of B.hispida is not clear. Hence the study was planned to investigate the antidiabetic and wound healing activities of methanolic and petroleum ether of B.hispida on streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus in Wistar rats. Diabetes was induced by a single intra peritoneal injection of Streptozocin (60mg/kg). The antidiabetic activity was studied at 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight (BW) of plant extracts. In this study, STZ intoxicated rats displayed increased blood glucose level, lipid peroxidation and decreased level of antioxidants. Further, lipid profiles such as total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and VLDL were significantly increased and HDL was significantly decreased in STZ diabetic rats. Treatment with B.hispida methanolic and petroleum extracts at the dose of 100 and 200mg/kg showed significant antidiabetic activity. Further, in wounded rats, B.hispida significantly increased the wound contraction rate and shorten the period of epithelization. In conclusion, B.hispida showed a significant antidiabetic and wound activities mediated through its antioxidant effect.

For the identification of the lead compounds, a molecular docking tool is used. The little structure, namely Ligand, generally holds together the protein places. It describes a similar approach that utilizes to place over another three-dimensional structure of a probable drug on its prospective object sites. Given that, it was worthwhile to build a virtual library of benzimidazole derivatives to find lead structures to test against C. Albicans. The two-dimensional structure of all planned compounds was drawn by using the current version software and pass on to the software window. The energy of all three-dimensional structures was reduced by Molecular Orbital Package up to Root mean square gradient 0.001 and put aside in MDL Molfile (.Mol) format. To assess the likely potential of the Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship models, the dataset was split into a training set comprising of 32 molecules and a test set of 8 molecules in such a way that the structural variety and an extensive range of biological action in the specific set were added. The IC50 values were transformed to pIC50 to give numerically larger data values.

Alternative Method for Analysing Hydromechanical Behaviour of Unsaturated Soils
Authors: Mascarenha Márcia Maria dos Anjos , Cordão Neto Manoel Porfírio , Moraes Guimarães Silva Tâmara
Published: June 2021

The suction-control techniques commonly used for laboratory studies of mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils are much more time consuming than standard soil mechanics tests. In addition, few laboratories have the required apparatus for testing unsaturated soils. This paper proposes an alternative method of analysing hydromechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils with high-porosity. The method is divided in three tasks: 1) verification of the effect of void ratio changes on the water retention curve using filter paper; 2) determining water content changes by evaporation under the same test conditions; and 3) performing saturated and unsaturated consolidation tests. Unsaturated tests make use of samples that are less than 100% saturated and there is no suction control during the test. Therefore, only initial water content is known. Significant suction changes take place due to void closure and evaporation while testing. The results obtained using the proposed methodology showed the stress and suction path and enhance the understanding of the hydromechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils. The results also showed that analyses of water content alone cannot explain some unexpected results, such as: 20% initial water content samples present less deformation than 16% samples.

Published: June 2021

Capillary barrier and vegetative slope covers can be used to improve slope stability during rainfall by maintaining matric suction in the slope. A study was performed to investigate the effectiveness of capillary barrier system (CBS) and vegetative slope covers (Orange Jasmine and Vetiver grass) in maintaining soil suction. Performance of slopes with and without slope covers was investigated using field instrumentations and numerical analyses. Laboratory tests were performed to measure hydraulic and shear strength properties of the soil, the soils with Orange Jasmine and Vetiver grass root, and CBS materials. Numerical analyses were performed to investigate the variation of pore-water pressure profiles at a selected location and factor of safety during low, high, and maximum rainfall intensities. Pore-water pressures measured in the field were used to calibrate the numerical models. Laboratory test results showed that the presence of root increased the shear strength of soil. Numerical analyses and field monitoring results showed that the slope with covers can maintain negative pore-water pressure better than the original slope. Performance of Orange Jasmine, Vetiver grass, and CBS in maintaining matric suction in the slope is essentially similar during low, high, and maximum rainfall intensities.
Toplumsal cinsiyet açısından Saç Adağı: Kara İyeleri kandırmak
Authors: ÇAKIR Emine
Published: June 2021

Toplumsal cinsiyet; bireyin doğuştan getirdiği biyolojik, fizyolojik ve genetik özellikleri ifade eden cins kavramının dışında doğduğu toplumda kendisine öğretilen beklendik ve istendik kültürel stereotip davranış, rol, görünüm ve sorumlulukları ifade eden bir kavramdır. Bu çalışmada, geçiş dönemlerinden doğum geleneği özelinde, genellikle erkek çocuğu doğmayan ya da uzun süre yaşamayan ailelerin çocuklarını yaşatmak için başvurduğu inanç ve ritüellerden biri olan saç adağı âdeti, toplumsal cinsiyet ve ritüel ilişkisi kapsamında incelenmiştir. Türk kültüründe çocuğa bazı koruyucu adların verilmesi, çocuğun türbeye adanması ya da başkasına satılması ritüeline rastlanır. Bu pratikle, Şamanizm’e göre bireye ve tabiata zarar verdiğine inanılan kötü ruhlardan bir başka ifadeyle kara iyelerden, yaşam eşiği olarak görülen yedi yaşına kadar, çocuğun korunarak yaşaması amaçlanır. Pratiği, toplumsal cinsiyet odağında tartışmaya değer kılan ise erkek çocuğun yaşaması için “kız çocuğu gibi” saçının uzatılmasıdır. Çalışmada, türbeye adanan fakat yedi yaşına girdiği hâlde maddi imkansızlıklar nedeniyle saçı ve kurbanı kesilemeyen, toplumsal cinsiyet algısına aykırı görünümü nedeniyle medyada gündeme gelen bir örnekleme yer verilmiştir. Zira geleneğin varlığı ya da sorgulanması bağlamla doğrudan ilgilidir. Sorgulanan gelenek, zamanın ve bağlamın ruhuna yanıt vermiyor, herkes tarafından bilinmiyorsa ister istemez “Bu ne biçim gelenek”, “Böyle gelenek olmaz olsun” ya da “Bu zamanda böyle âdetler mi kalır?” gibi protest söylemi de beraberinde getirmektedir. Geleneğin reddi doğal olarak, geleneği besleyen dinamiklerin ortadan kalkmasına neden olmaktadır. Çocuksuzluk olgusuyla iç içe olan bu ritüelde, günümüzde geleneğin herkes tarafından bilinmemesi, iletişim teknolojisinin gelişmesi, çocuksuzluk durumunda modern tıbba başvurulması, kentleşme, çocuk gelişimi hakkındaki farkındalık gibi birçok etken, geleneğin sorgulanmasına ve eleştirilmesine neden olmakta ve konuyu toplumsal cinsiyet tartışmaları odağına taşımaktadır.

Shame by Salman Rushdie from a postmodern frame
Authors: GÜNAYDIN ALBAY Neslihan
Published: June 2021

Postmodern fiction, which appeared in a post-World War II period, bears distinctive qualities from other literary movements such as realism and modernism structurally, stylistically and thematically. It can be perceived as a challenge against or attack on fixed language systems, subject matters, narrative style, plot development in the face of modernist and realist quest for meaning in a fragmentary world. One of the principal works of postmodern literature published in 1983, Shame by Salman Rushdie exhibits the best features of a post-modern novel by a style of magic realism by touching some political issues and some significant characters in a turbulent Pakistan in the way of historiographic fiction. Although language seems to reflect real historical events, an imaginative and subjective narrative style betrays its break with reality. Shame deserves being called as ‘a postmodern novel’ in the light of the key characteristics of postmodern fiction such as narrative fragmentation and reflexivity, the decentring of the subject, fictional framing of devices and the plurality of worlds, the displacement of the real by simulacra, magic realism and historiographic metafiction. Therefore, in the novel Shame where the loss of reality and meaning is celebrated rather than lamented, I will try to demonstrate how it is worth the title of “a postmodern novel” by resorting to its comparisons and contrasts with such movements as realism and modernism.
An in-depth analysis of the professionalization process of the translation profession in Turkey from the perspective of the sociology of professions
Authors: UYSAL Nazan Müge
Published: June 2021

Professionalization of translation has emerged as a recent field of research in the sociological approach in the relevant literature in translation studies. Professionalization can simply be described as a process covering several occupational attributes at the end of which an occupation upgrades its status. Studies investigating the translation profession and the status of translators in different countries are not high in number in translation studies literature. The present study aims at analyzing the current status of the translation profession in Turkey, drawing on the the professionalization process in the sociology of professions which aims to describe certain factors (traits, criteria) for an occupation to be accepted as a profession in this process. Translation is currently not a full-fledged profession in Turkey, like in most other countries around the world. However, the existence of translator education programs in universities, various translator associations and other developments related to legal procedures, particularly recent attempts of the Vocational Qualifications Institution suggest that the profession of translation in Turkey is a promising example on the way to professionalization. Especially recent developments linked to the release of a National Professional Standard for Translators/Interpreters established in 2013 and national qualifications in six different fields of translation (draft versions released in 2019) indicate the establishment of a well-founded translator certification system in Turkey soon.

Published: June 2021

Introduction:
The subject of the study is analyzing of the temperature distribution on the lower limbs in patients with discopathy of the lumbosacral spine requiring surgery.

Aim:
The answer to the question whether surgical treatment reduces temperature differences on the lower limbs of patients undergoing surgery.

Material and methods:
Thermograms of the lower limbs were performed before and on the second day after microdiscectomy or microdiscectomy with posterior lumbar interbody fusion. The study group consisted of 37 patients of the Neurosurgery Department, while the control group consisted of 18 healthy people. Comparative analyzes of temperatures on the lower limb with pain with the temperatures on the lower healthy limb in the same patient indicate significant statistical differences in temperature distribution. Based on the thermograms, two region of interest’s (ROI) of the same area were determined on the thigh and the lower leg. The maximum, minimum and average temperatures were determined for those areas.

Results and discussion:
Comparative analyzes showed statistically significant differences for both areas and all temperatures between healthy and affected limbs in the group of patients before surgery. In turn, after surgery, no statistically significant differences were observed between the respective limb temperatures for both ROI areas. The analysis of the temperature parameters determined for analogous ROIs in the control group did not show statistically significant differences for all measured temperatures.

Conclusions:
After selective surgical treatment of lumbar discopathy by microdiscectomy previous significantly statistical temperature differences between the lower limbs in analogical ROIs in those patients decreased to not statistically significant differences.

The study of employment location and transportation accessibility in the Huntsville Metropolitan area
Authors: Fola Ayokanmbi  , Rolandrea Russell  , Jacob Oluwoye
Published: June 2021

The main purpose of a transportation system is to connect people to their communities and specifically to connect employees to jobs. The Huntsville Metropolitan region’s transportation system is without a doubt almost exclusively automobile dependent due to the limited availability of public transportation along with the Regions’ 2000 and 2010 Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPOs). Journey to work report. In an automobile dependent region, the level of car ownership is crucial in determining accessibility as well as the ability to utilize employment opportunities. Increased job decentralization and suburban employment throughout various metropolitan areas across the United States decreases the level of employment accessibility resulting in the need for efficient accessibility to the existing transportation system and employment opportunities. Employment accessibility is an issue of great concern in urban areas across the United States significantly in major metropolitans, which is evident based on the continued study, evaluation, analysis, and scrutiny by numerous scholars. In evaluating employment accessibility, the concept of automobile dependency is a relevant factor for the presence of spatial and/or modal mismatch. The purpose of this paper therefore is to examine the relationship between transportation accessibility and employment location in the metropolitan area of Huntsville, Alabama. In doing this the author examines the attributes of residential location, car ownership, house value and other demographic factors of the Huntsville, Metropolitan region to answer the research question of “what, if any is the relationship between these attributes and factors?” Data was obtained from the US Census Bureau for the 2000 and 2010 periods and was extracted then exported and saved as an SPSS document where it was manipulated and analyzed. The Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficients (r) were calculated to give an indication of the suggested relationships between variables as the author assesses the employment accessibility in the Huntsville Metropolitan Region. The number of vehicles available which reflects the level of car ownership within the sample is positively related to the residential location indicating that one’s residential location is indeed related to owning a car. This paper concludes that spatial mismatch encompasses the economic restructuring of the Huntsville Metropolitan Region’s whereby employment opportunities are located far away from areas of residence. Modal mismatch is due to the challenges and/or inabilities faced by individuals in their travels between home and work or place of potential employment.

The Uncertainty of the World and the Problem of Russian Civilization
Authors: Sokolova Rimma I.
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to civilizational issues, which are largely determined by the environment or background, i.e. the socio-political situation in the country and the world as a whole, which has an indirect impact on it. The author considers a new situation, which is characterized by instability in all spheres of planetary life, which is reflected in the position of a person. This situation is characterized in the literature as the end of certainty or “uncertainty,” which is reflected today in the terminology attributed to the word “new” or the prefix “post.” It has been established that, despite its relevance, this concept has a long history in philosophy, from antiquity to modern times. The author of the article states the contribution of the modern Russian civilizational theory to the state of uncertainty in Russia, due to both the terminological ambiguity and uncertainty of the key concepts of this theory, and the ideological and worldview disagreement of its representatives. Three versions of the existence of civilization in the Russian state are presented, which remain in the humanitarian discourse of new Russia for thirty years. Particular attention is paid to the third version as the most stable, according to which Russia has been and remains a part of the West, the reasons for its popularity have been identified. The concept of the Other, which has recently become very relevant after it was discovered that the movement towards the West without taking into account the historical peculiarities of Russia, was unsuccessful, and the West itself directed all its efforts to contain Russia, was taken as the basic methodological basis for the study of this version. It is concluded that a more attentive attitude to the background will help bring the positions of different authors closer and minimize the uncertainty, which takes on more and more alarming features. This can contribute to the development of worldview coordinates and values that determine vital priorities and development prospects, give an image of the future embodied in a civilizational development project that satisfies the entire society.

The article discusses the problem of cultural and civilizational self-identification in the works of Osip Emilyevich Mandelstam. According to the family legend, the Mandelstam family descended from Spanish Jews who fled from Spanish kings’ persecution, and then moved, in search of better life, further and further to the north of Europe, until they finally settled in the Russian Empire. In our view, young Osip Mandelstam was formed as a poet in the traditions of the literature of the “Russian North,” derived from Gavriil Derzhavin, Prince Peter Vyazemsky, Anton Delvig, and Alexander Pushkin. Mandelstam was a direct literary follower of the Russian symbolist poet of Swedish origin, I.I. Oreus (who published under the pseudonym of “Ivan Konevskoy”). The name of Oreus-Konevskoy, his magical poetic style, the circumstances of his death, and finally, his romantic grave on the steep bank of the Latvian river Aa (Gauja) – became truly iconic phenomena of the Russian Silver Age. Oreus-Konevskoy had a great influence not only on young Mandelstam’s verse (some of his famous poems are direct “literary duels” with the Teacher) but also on Alexander Blok, Valery Bryusov, and early Boris Pasternak. The author of the article analyzes how in the first post-revolutionary years Osip Mandelstam tried to become one of the theorists of the Soviet “Northern” literature. In the author’s view, when the repressive nature of the new regime became obvious and the “NorthernPetersburgian” Russia showed its totalitarian-Bolshevik appearance, there started a radical turn in Mandelstam’s self-consciousness, which led to an attempt to form a new personal identity, as a person belonging to the “cultural South,” who tragically found himself in the “barbaric North.”
Mandelstam: The Realm of Unexpectedness
Authors: Neretina Svetlana S.
Published: June 2021

In the essay “Conversation about Dante,” Mandelstam described logic, which he defined as the “realm of unexpectedness,” which is unlike any everyday logical construction. Based on the analysis of Mandelstam’s text, it is assumed that we are talking about a tropology that arose in the Middle Ages, the principles of which can be derived from studies of St. Augustine’s treatise De Dialectica and Petrus Сomestor’s Historia Scholastica. It is this triple commonwealth (Augustine – Comestor – Dante, read by Mandelstam) that creates the multilayered logical framework of the work. Augustine created a completely different dialectic than in classical antiquity. Augustine considers dialectics as an art of discussion and describes the real steps that contribute to the emergence of speech, which corresponds to Mandelstam’s concept of conversation. According to Augustine, at the basis of any speech, is a trope-turn. In the article, attention is drawn to the sound nature of creation process. This logic, used in explaining the creation of the world according to the logos/word (tropology), assumes that, at the basis of the speech act, there is no the word as a unit of speech, but the sound itself – the sound, which was considered initially equivocal (ambiguous). In the process of pronounciation, the sound could turn into its opposite and could change the meaning of speech if the context has been changed. Dante expressed the meaning of tropology in practice. Mandelstam wrote that he had chosen Dante for the conversation (between poet and poet) “because he is the greatest and indisputable master of reversible and reversing poetic substance.” Mandelstam saw Dante as the Descartes of metaphor.

Для лечения заболеваний суставов широко применяются внутрисуставные инъекционные формы глюкокортикостероидов, многие из которых не лишены недостатков, препятствующих повышению их эффективности. Особый интерес представляют липосомальные формы глюкокортикостероидов для внутрисуставного введения при лечении артритов. Были получены липосомы с дексаметазоном, имеющие средний размер везикул 86 ± 5 нм и концентрацию дексаметазона 2,2 ± 0,007 мг/мл. Исследование терапевтической эффективности полученных липосом с дексаметазоном проводили в сравнении с внутрисуставным введением раствора дексаметазона в аналогичной дозе на модели ревматоидного артрита у крыс. Критериями эффективности были макро- и микроскопические признаки артрита в голеностопных суставах крыс. В результате липосомальная форма оказалась значительно эффективнее по сравнению с раствором при равных дозах дексаметазона как средство для уменьшения основных патоанатомических признаков воспалительного процесса в суставах.

Нижний предел количественного определения LLOQ составил 10 пг/мл, калибровочная кривая была линейна в диапазоне 10 – 1000 пг/мл, коэффициент достоверности аппроксимации был не менее 0,99. Для приготовления проб применяли метод жидкостной экстракции. Методика апробирована при исследовании биоэквивалентности воспроизведенного препарата, при однократном приеме лекарственного средства здоровыми добровольцами в дозе 0,1 мг.
Was there a Revival of Hebrew during the Hasmonean Period?
Authors: Machiela Daniel A. , Jones Robert
Published: June 2021

Since the end of the nineteenth century, many scholars have held that there was a revival of the Hebrew language during the Hasmonean period, associated with a growing nationalistic sentiment under Hasmonean leadership at that time. Other scholars have rejected this idea, opting instead for a revival of the language at different times, or for no revival at all. Though the idea of a national revival of Hebrew has often been used to explain various historical or literary phenomena in early Judaism, serious defenses of this position have been lacking. In this article, we examine much of the relevant literary, epigraphic, and archeological evidence in order to reassess the idea of a revival of Hebrew associated with Hasmonean rule. In light of this evidence, we conclude that such a revival finds strong literary and archaeological support, and may justifiably be assumed by historians of Second Temple period Judaism.

Sebagai bentuk upaya pencegahan dan peminimalisiran penularan virus tersebut, maka pemerintah Indonesia mengeluarkan anjuran social distancing/physical distancing. Keadaan ini juga kemudian menjadikan interaksi antar masyarakat menjadi sangat terbatas. Keadaan ini agaknya mampu menghilangkan hospitalitas diantara masyrakat. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menekankan tentang pentingnya tetap memelihara nilai hospitalitas Kristen dalam masyarakat ditengah pandemi Covid-19.
