Le jeu de la feuillée d’Adam de la Halle :
une sournoise noise contre la pathologie virale
de l’idéologie courtoise féodale
Authors: SARR Diokel
Published: November 2022

The present study provides a better understanding of the affinities between literature and
history. This is to say more explicitly that the defects assimilated to viral pathologies which
have infected the populations of Arras, the authorities (political, religious, paternal) in
particular, are similar to that which the world has known for a few months, to namely the
Coronavirus pandemic, also called the COVID-19. The new social order, which the latter
requires, justifies the focus on the aristocratic elite who happens to be in perfect connivance
with the clergy. The structural or hierarchical rearrangement of social relations accounts
for a certain weakening or annihilation of the unconditional supremacy of which this elite
claims the prerogative through courtly ideology. The downfall of the said elite infected with
viral defects allows Adam de la Halle to initiate, through his main character Adam, a
healing odyssey, under the prism of generic subversion.
This translates, moreover, in a dramatic form tested positive which rubs shoulders and
harmoniously forms one with many other literary genres of the medieval period, considered
in turn as contact cases.
Portraits, Politics and the Picturesque
in the Art of Colonial India
Authors: PRIYANKA Prachi
Published: November 2022

Colonial art of India highlights a remarkable blend of east and west – converging on
grounds of matter and manner of expression. An important intervention of colonial
experience on the cultural life of India was the establishment of art colleges in Calcutta,
Madras and Bombay with an intent to ‘elevate’ the status of Indian art by teaching them
western theories and finer taste. This paper examines the politics behind establishment of
art institutions and how company paintings, portraits and representation of the
picturesque became perfect examples of the amalgamation of east and west on canvasses.
The paper also explores how this cross-cultural exchange revolutionized modern Indian art
in the process.

Some things can cause a person to have a dependence on using a computer just like office work or in terms of getting entertainment such as playing video games among adolescents. Some research leads to the duration of playing video games which is one of the risk factors of the MPS. The prevalence of MPS in general population varies by up to 85%. The method used in this study is an analytical observational method with a cross sectional approach. This study used simple random sampling techniques and the study subjects were observed with a one-time measurement of dependent variables. This research design was used to find out whether there was a relationship between the duration of playing video games and myofascial pain syndrome of upper trapezius muscle in adolescents in Denpasar City. The results showed from the total of 59 study samples, there were 46 samples (78.0%) who had upper trapezius MPS and as many as 13 samples (22.0%) who did not experience upper trapezius MPS. The distribution of research samples that experienced MPS was more in adolescents who had excessive duration of playing video games (>2 hours / day) which was 45 samples (76.3%) than samples who had MPS with a normal duration of playing video games (<2 hours / day). The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant correlation (p = 0.000) between the duration of playing video games and MPS of the upper trapezius muscle in adolescents in Denpasar City.

Effect of Fly ash powder on the physical properties of expansive soils
Authors: Talar Rashid  , Nadhmiah Majeed
Published: November 2022

Expansive soils have a large variation in volume depending on the quantity of water in them, causing structural and geotechnical problems. Fly ash powder could be used as a stabilizing material for high-plasticity clay in five different locations in Erbil city that has caused damage to different buildings and roads. Grain size analysis, specific gravity, and Atterberg limit were the main methods of physical testing of soils. The expansive soil was stabilized by adding three different percentages of Fly Ash Powder (5%, 10%, and 15%). The results show that liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index were decreased with increasing Fly ash powder to expansive soil. Mineralogically these soils are composed of Montmorillonite, Chlorite, Chlorite- swelling, Kaolinite, Illite, Palygoriskite, and mixed layer - dominated clay mineral components ,and the non-clay minerals consisting of calcite, muscovite, and quartz, and Fly ash powder composed of Muscovite and Calcite.

Ethical-Psychological Theory by Erich Fromm as a Tool of Social Transformation
Authors: Zakharov Aleksandr Dmitrievich
Published: November 2022

Social transformation is an up-to-date concept in current philosophical and social circumstances being considered with problematization and the creation and development of social philosophy several centuries ago. A specific contribution to this problem was made within the framework of improving the quality of human knowledge with the development of psychology as a science and methodology, psychoanalysis and neo–Freudianism in particular. This article is devoted to the problem of society’s ethical transformation using the example of Erich Fromm's radical humanistic psychoanalysis – a neo-Freudian concept that requires clarification and explanation despite the abundance of content covering the topic. Qualitative analysis of primary empirical data, processing of secondary empirical data, analysis of various views on the chosen topic were used as research methods. This article examines the basic concepts of Fromm's humanistic psychoanalysis within the framework of the issue under study, as well as an assessment of the conceptual applicability of his theory to the problem of social transformation. In the course of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that the theoretical constructions by Erich Fromm are not studied scrupulously enough, contain a unique idiographic point of view and have practical applicability for a wide range of users of the provided information – philosophers, psychologists, sociologists, historians, religious scholars.
Data-Driven Unsteady Aeroelastic Modeling for Control
Authors: Hickner Michelle K. , Fasel Urban , Nair Aditya G. , Brunton Bingni W. , Brunton Steven L.
Published: November 2022

Aeroelastic structures, from insect wings to wind turbine blades, experience transient unsteady aerodynamic loads that are coupled to their motion. Effective real-time control of flexible structures relies on accurate and efficient predictions of both the unsteady aeroelastic forces and airfoil deformation. For rigid wings, classical unsteady aerodynamic models have recently been reformulated in state space for control and extended to include viscous effects. Here, we further extend this modeling framework to include the deformation of a flexible wing in addition to the quasi-steady, added mass, and unsteady viscous forces. We develop low-order linear models based on data from direct numerical simulations of flow past a flexible wing at a low Reynolds number. We demonstrate the effectiveness of these models to track aggressive maneuvers with model predictive control while constraining maximum wing deformation. This system identification approach provides an interpretable, accurate, and low-dimensional representation of an aeroelastic system that can aid in system and controller design for applications where transients play an important role.
Impacts of Unsteady Flow Environments on the Propulsive Performance of Oscillating Foils
Authors: Poudel Naresh , Yu Meilin , Hrynuk John T.
Published: November 2022

A numerical study is conducted to understand the impact of an unsteady freestream on the aerodynamic performance of an oscillating airfoil. The unsteady flow environment is generated by placing a stationary inline circular cylinder array upstream of the oscillating airfoil. The dependence of thrust with variation of Reynolds numbers and Strouhal numbers is investigated, and it is revealed that the unsteady flow environment enhances thrust production of a pitching airfoil. This increased thrust production was related to an effective increase in the Reynolds number experienced by the airfoil. With airfoil–vortex interaction analysis, the increase in average thrust coefficient was shown to be caused by constructive interaction of freestream vortex structures and the oscillating airfoil. Drag-inducing interactions were also observed but were less common than thrust-increasing events, resulting in a higher average thrust. A simple scaling law is expanded to include the effects of unsteadiness, where thrust is found to be linearly dependent on turbulence intensity. It is demonstrated that the thrust generated by the pitching airfoil when operating in highly unsteady flow environments is more accurately represented as a function of Reynolds number, Strouhal number, and turbulence intensity.

Three-dimensional evaluation of condylar position in skeletal Class I and Class II malocclusions along with vertical facial morphology
Authors: Sharma Aditi , Pai Vinaya , Hegde Manjunath , Rajaram Shreyas
Published: November 2022

Objectives:

This study aimed to three-dimensionally evaluate and compare anatomic condylar position to glenoid fossa in skeletal Classes I and II malocclusions along with vertical facial morphology (VFM).

Material and Methods:

Full skull 50 cone-beam computed tomographies (CBCTs) were taken with teeth in maximum intercuspation of patients aged 18–45 years who were grouped as skeletal Classes I and II, 25 each based on ANB angle and the patient’s right condyle was analyzed on CareStream-3D viewing software. The VFM was categorized based on the Jarabak ratio. Statistical analysis was performed using Mann–Whitney and Chi-square test.

Results:

In skeletal Class II when compared to Class I, the condyle in the glenoid fossa was anteriorly positioned with reduced anterior (P = 0.006) and increased posterior (P = 0.04) distance showing eccentric position. The condyle was also positioned lower suggesting an increased distance in the upper joint space (P = 0.04). The reduced height of the articular eminence indicated the condylar path and its position. The angle of articular eminence (P = 0.44) was decreased. Statistically, significant difference was not found between the various vertical facial morphologies.

Conclusion:

CBCT provides precise diagnostic values of joint spaces in skeletal Classes I and II to differentiate ideal condylar position from non-ideal according to different skeletal patterns, VFM, and also to notice minor discrepancies in joint spaces quantitatively. Depending on increased or decreased distances in the joint spaces, one can identify any temporomandibular joint-related discrepancies.

Given the widespread use of self-defense gas weapons in the modern world, articles covering the effects of irritants on the human body are increasingly found in medical periodicals. At the same time, it is worth noting that the vast majority of cases of exposure to gas weapons occur in people of working age. The described severe lesions are more often accompanied by damage to the respiratory organs and eyes. From the side of the eyes, these manifestations are accompanied by signs of blepharitis, conjunctivitis and pronounced corneal syndrome, even in the absence of epithelial defects. Given the atypical development of the clinical picture, the question of the pathogenesis of the development of signs of lesion becomes fundamental. This is important for understanding approaches to the therapy of this type of damage and the fastest possible recovery of performance. At the moment, ophthalmologists most often use symptomatic therapy, which does not always give a stable positive therapeutic effect.

Despite the fact that the injury of the lacrimal canaliculi occupies about 3.5% of the pathology of lacrimal drainage, the problem of restoring them while maintaining patency is a rather urgent problem of dacryology. The use of traditional methods of patency restoration with the use of a «pig tail» type probe can lead to injury to the mucous membrane of the lacrimal canaliculi or the formation of false passages. Sometimes, with successful recanalization after removal of stents from the lacrimal tract in the postoperative period, it is possible to preserve their obstruction and the manifestation of symptoms of lacrimation. The aim of our work was to evaluate various methods of surgical treatment of patients with lacrimal canaliculi ruptures after their injury. The materials and methods of the study were presented variants of surgical aids performed in patients with lacrimal canaliculi damage. In total, we examined 28 patients: 16 in the first and 12 in the second group, respectively. The purpose of the applied surgical aids was the reconstruction of the lacrimal canaliculi and their simultaneous stenting using various techniques. After the surgical aid and prolonged stenting, we differentially evaluated the functional result in the study groups. As a «positive» result of the study, not only anatomical restoration of patency of the lacrimal pathways was accepted, but also the absence of lacrimation in patients. As a result of our work, we concluded about the anatomical and functional effect of the studied methods of surgical treatment in groups of patients with different severity of injury and different methods of treatment in patients with traumatic pathology of lacrimal drainage. As a conclusion of the study, a differentiated approach to choosing a surgical aid for traumatic damage to the lacrimal canaliculi is proposed.

Authors: Dangwal Anjali , Sharma Anjali
Published: November 2022

Increasing frequency and intensity of floods caused lives of 6.7 million people between 1920-2020. Rapid urbanization and climate change are the two leading causes of urban flooding. During the past several years, India has seen an increase in the number of urban flooding catastrophes. The city of Dehradun in Uttarakhand, India situated in a valley in the Himalayan foothills, suffers from the contradictory problems of urban flooding due to increase in the builtup area and water supply gaps. The aim of the study is to mitigate urban flooding through blue-green infrastructure development. The study uses Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing to understand Land Use Land Cover (LULC) change in the period 1995-2020 and to estimate the surface run-off generation of this period using the weighted co-efficient and Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) methods. The result reveals that with the blue-green infrastructure, rainwater harvesting potential can be increased to 82.03 MLD and groundwater recharge would increase to 2.66 MLD. With this, the rainwaer harvesting potential becomes equivalent to 37% of the water supply for the design period of 2031.

Published: November 2022

Increased earthquakes have caused massive destruction and collapse of structures around the world in recent decades as a result of inadequate seismic design. In this way, creative work has received special attention with a focus on constructing the structure in such a way that harm to the structures is minimized. The goal is to construct structures that are safe, longlasting and durable for future generations. Active protective systems, hybrid protective systems and passive protective systems have all evolved as earthquake protection systems. The passive protection system keeps the structure elastic during large earthquakes and has a fundamental frequency that is lower than the predetermined base frequency of ground movement. The passive protective system includes base isolation as a component. Base isolation is currently the most innovative solution for seismic building protection in earthquake-prone areas. It has been successfully used for earthquake protection in a variety of buildings and other structures around the world. The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of a G+8 building constructed of RCC and equipped with a high-damping rubber bearing and a lead rubber bearing isolation system. Two models are depicted in the work. The first model shows a conventional structure whereas the second model represents a base isolation structure. The goal is to use Time history in the ETABS-2017 software to compare the seismic response of a fixed base and base separated structure. The ground motion data from the Nepal earthquake of 2015 is used to do time history analysis.

Streptomycetes are prolific producers of biologically active secondary metabolites with great structural and functional diversity, which are widely used as pharmaceutical products. The strain Streptomyces sp. PU-12M was investigated for its potential to produce antioxidant, antimicrobial and antitumor compounds. For this purpose, the laboratory scale fermentation (10 liters working volume) of the strain was performed followed by cell separation, solvent extraction and partial purification of biologically active compounds by silica gel fractionation column chromatography and preparative TLC. The antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH radical scavenging assay, antimicrobial activity by agar well diffusion assay while in vitro antitumor activity was determined by MTT and SRB assays. Altogether 24 partially purified compounds or fractions were retrieved from the extract of strain Streptomyces Sp. PU-12M and were subsequently investigated for biological activity. Among them, three fractions were found to have potent antioxidant activity. The crude extracts and the partially purified fractions were found to have promising antimicrobial activity with MIC up to 3.2mg/ml. The partially purified fractions exhibited varied cytotoxicity ranging from 40% to 100% mortality against brine shrimp (Artemia salina) larvae and 22% to 67% growth inhibition of HCT 116 colorectal cancer cell lines. The study reveals that Streptomyces antioxidans PU-12M is a proliferent producer of bioactive secondary metabolites and can be exploited further to produce the commercially useful bioactive molecules.

About 40 to 90% of the population in many developing countries uses traditional medicine. The use of traditional medicine is increasing in developing countries because of the high cost and fear of side effects of allopathic medicine. Especially for treating lifestyle diseases like diabetes, the number of people adopting traditional medication is increasing yearly. Bitter gourd is grown in tropical and subtropical regions and is one of the important plant species used for treating diabetes due to its antidiabetic, anti-lipidemic and antioxidant properties. Fruits of bitter gourd are the main plant parts used for treating diabetes. Bitter gourd fruits are used as a vegetable and consuming them regularly is likely to help in diabetes management with less drug dependency. However, the bitter taste of the fruits is deterrent. Between Momordica charantia var. charantia and Momordica charantia var. muricata, muricata is relatively less bitter. In this study, we extracted the secondary metabolites from the outer rind, inner pulp and seeds from the fruits of both varieties and profiled them by GC-MS analysis. We identified several secondary metabolites and for some of them, biological activities were reported earlier. Identification of these compounds supported the medicinal properties of bitter gourd and formed the basis for the characterization of purified compounds in the future.

Moringa oleifera is native to India and being used as medicinal and nutritive plant for thousands of years. The plant is an important source for essential nutrients and biochemical constituents. The present study is carried out to investigate the biochemical constituents through FT-IR, GC-MS analysis. The antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of the M. oleifera leaves extract are studied using DPPH assay and antimicrobial activity is observed by selecting various indicator microorganisms. In the present study, the methanolic extract is evaluated for its antioxidant activity and free radical scavenging activity was found through DPPH assay. The IC50 value is found to be 275μg/ml. The antimicrobial activity is studied through well diffusion assay and highest inhibitory activity is observed for E. coli and K. pneumoniae. Further, the biochemical constituents are identified through FTIR and GC-MS analysis and the presence of fatty acids such as dodecanoic acid, n-hexadecanoic acid, 11-octadecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid trimethyl silyl ester and α-Linolenic acid trimethylsilyl ester are found. The fatty acids occupied major portion of the leaves and the other compounds identified through this analysis are diterpenoids, carotenoid pigments, silanes and diterpene alcohol. The leaves consist of a rich source of bioactive components with antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. The carotenoid pigments and omega fatty acids are considered as food supplements for boosting the immunity and also for scavenging of free radicals.
N-acetylcysteine elevates Nrf-2/ARE-regulated antioxidant response and mitochondrial biogenesis in different brain regions of monocrotophos exposed rats

Published: November 2022

Monocrotophos (MCP) is reported to induce the reactive oxygen species-mediated oxidative stress, which is supposed to be one of main mechanisms of MCP-induced neurotoxicity. The present study depicts the positive role of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) against oxidative damage via nuclear factor-erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) pathway and mitochondrial biogenesis in different brain regions of rat. Male Albino Wistar rats were divided into control, NAC-treated, MCP and NAC+MCP-treated groups. An intragastric dose of MCP (0.9 mg/kg b.wt) and NAC (200 mg/kg b.wt) was administered for 28 days. Results showed that MCP significantly decreased the activities of mitochondrial complexes, altered the gene expression of Nrf-2/ARE-mediated phase-II detoxifying enzymes and mitochondrial biogenesis factors (peroxiredoxin 1, glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit, heme oxygenase, NAD(P)H: quinine oxidoreductase 1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha, mitochondrial transcription factor A, nuclear respiratory factors-1 and -2 and manganese superoxide dismutase). The co-administration of NAC modulated these altered mitochondrial biochemicals, restored the gene expressions of phase-II enzymes and mitochondrial biogenesis factors in different regions of rats’ brain. The finding of the present study suggest that NAC administration might protect against the MCP-induced neurotoxicity in rodents.

Authors: Geißler Fabian
Published: November 2022

This thesis presents the design of a miniature frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar with a frequency range of 50 MHz to 3 GHz using only commercial off the shelf (COTS) components. The system is intended for use as ground penetrating radar (GPR) as part of a lunar lander. State of the art topologies for ultra wideband signal synthesis are presented and compared. The theoretical background of split frequency ramps and the thus required stitching of baseband signals is discussed. The schematic design, layout and software development is described. The characterization of the radar system shows that the speciﬁcation is met within a temperature range of −40 °C to 75 °C and while exposition to radiation with an accumulated dose of up to 168 Gy. The use of COTS components does not impair the performance. Finally suggestions for hard- and software improvements are given, that resulted from working with the radar system.
He, she, it - Vertrauen muss mit? : Auswirkungen geschlechtsneutraler Stimmen in Sprachassistenten auf ihre Vertrauenswürdigkeit
Authors: Mooshammer Sandra
Published: November 2022

Almost 70 % of the currently existing language assistance systems only use female voices. Assistants with male voices or with the option to choose between different options, on the other hand, are clearly in the minority. Technologies that emit social cues are treated like social actors in accordance with the CASA paradigm. As a result, stereotypes, for example, can be applied to voice assistants who indicate a specific gender - an effect that has already been observed in various research. With the development of the gender-neutral voice Q through a merger of Danish companies and organizations, the question arose in 2019 whether this would avoid the use of stereotypes or, on the contrary, neutral voices are perceived as unpleasant. This was considered in the master's thesis with regard to trust in a language assistance system. For this purpose, a gender-neutral voice was developed and compared in an online experiment with a male and a female voice that spoke about a stereotypically male, a stereotypically female or a neutral topic. It was found that the neutral voice was assigned a lower level of trustworthiness in some variables - even if it was perceived as male or female. The gender assignment, in turn, was dependent on which gender the test subjects assigned the topic about which the voice was speaking. The results suggest that the ambiguity and unfamiliarity of the neutral voice leads to a poorer rating. It must therefore be doubted that such projects can lead to a broad-based overcoming of stereotypes, but on the contrary even bring about and consolidate negative reactions to entities that do not correspond to the gender norm.
Advanced applications of cellulose nanocrystals: a mini review
Authors: Abbasi Moud Aref
Published: November 2022

Cellulose that has been acid hydrolyzed is what makes up cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). Due to CNCs biodegradability, renewability, sustainability, and mechanical properties, they have a wide range of applications in the biomedical, photonics, and material engineering fields. Rheology, or the flow behaviour of CNC dispersion, is integrally tied to the processing and design of CNC-based products, thus it is important and warrants inquiry to carefully examine the relationship between rheology's flow behaviour and their attributes. In this paper, we report the most recent findings on the advanced application of CNC suspension, aerogel, and hydrogels. Applications to technology and material science for developing advanced materials such as photonic tunable crystals, responsive materials, and thermal insulation packing materials were also covered.
