EXPERIMENTAL AND MODELING ANALYSES OF STABILITY AND THERMOPHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GRAPHENE OXIDE, CARBON NANOTUBE, AND SILICON CARBIDE DISPERSION IN PROPYLENE GLYCOL
Authors: Khakpour Mohammad , Vaferi Behzad
Published: April 2023

Determining nanofluids' properties by theoretical or experimental analysis has attracted significant attention. This study synthesizes and characterizes propylene glycol-graphene oxide (PG-GO), PG-carbon nanotubes (PG-CNT), and PG-silicon carbide (PG-SiC) nanofluids. All nanofluids were prepared by a two-step procedure with the nanoparticles' concentrations of 0.10, 1.05, and 2.00 wt.%. The nanofluids' stability, thermophysical (heat capacity and surface tension), and transport (thermal conductivity and viscosity) properties are measured at a temperature range of 20-80°C. Zeta potential and average nanocluster size approved that the nanofluids are stable. Increasing the temperature enhances thermal conductivity and heat capacity and reduces viscosity and surface tension. Nanoparticles addition to PG decreases surface tension and heat capacity and increases the viscosity and thermal conductivity. The PG-GO nanofluids have the best average values for viscosity, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity. Several simple models are also suggested to relate nanofluids' thermophysical properties to the temperature and nanoparticles' dose. These correlations simulate the experimental data with reasonable accuracy (correlation coefficient > 0.93).

Background: Obesity is of huge concern worldwide. Bariatric surgery is effective in managing morbid obesity and its associated complications. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the pre-operative as well as postoperative phases of bariatric surgery. Lack of physical activity in patients who are obese, patients who are posted for bariatric surgery and those who have undergone bariatric surgery can be accounted to a lot of factors. Identifying their perceived level of physical activity along with the facilitators, barriers and beliefs will help in addressing these issues and thereby increasing adherence to physical activity. Objective: To evaluateperceived level, along with barriers, enablers and beliefs of physical activity in patients posted for bariatric surgery. We also evaluated their awareness about the role of physiotherapy in pre and post-operative phases of bariatric surgery. Method:A questionnaire was designed to gain an insight aboutfactors contributing as barriers and enablers, under the domains of physical, psychological, interpersonal and environmental. It also included perceived level and the existing level of physical activity in the study participants.Questions were also designed to understand their awareness about the role of physiotherapy in the pre and post bariatric surgery phase. It was administered to patients posted for bariatric surgery on an interview basis. Sample size was calculated to be 96. The data was then analysed and represented as descriptive statistics. Results: All study participants failed to meet the recommended level of physical activity. The predominant barriers perceived by the study participants belonged to physical, psychological and interpersonal domains; whereas environmental barriers were found to be of least significance. 72.92% of the study participants lacked the knowledge about the role of physiotherapy in the pre-operative phase of bariatric surgery. Conclusions:Interpersonal, physical and psychological being the predominant barriers faced by the study participants highlight the scope of physiotherapeutic intervention. Also these factors can be modified at an individual level, thereby improving the adherence. There is lack of awareness about the role of physiotherapy in the pre-operative phase of bariatric surgery. Thus there is need to increase awareness about the role of physiotherapy in managing obesity and related complications in pre and post op phases of bariatric surgery. KEY WORDS: Facilitators, Barriers, Beliefs, Awareness, Bariatric Surgery, Physical Activity, Questionnaire based, Physiotherapy, Obesity.

Background: Liver is a major metabolic organ, interfering with the function of all organs and systems. So, the patients with severe liver disease may display wide manifestations of metabolic disorders, loss of muscle mass and function. Combination of these factors leads to decreased exercise tolerance and physical inactivity and it may be exaggerated with increasing severity of liver disease. The functional capacity could be severely affected due to multiple physiological derangements in these population. Hence, a liver transplant is the only cure for end stage liver disease. Currently only few literature are available that evaluated and described the status of frailty and functional capacity in these population. So we have tried to evaluate the same in Indian Population. Methodology: After ethical committee approval and written inform consent, 85 cirrhotic patients who fulfilled the Inclusion and Exclusion criteria were included in the study. Disease specific history, Severity of Liver disease, Physical evaluation of frailty via Hand grip strength, Balance and time taken to do 5 chair stands , subjective functional capacity evaluation was done through Duke activity status Index (DASI). Result: In 85 patients, the average Hand grip strength was 23.70 ± 10.60kg in males and 15.02± 5.08kg in females , average value of timed chair stands (TCS) was 18.18± 6.60 in males and 14.18± 8.65 in females , average balance score was 28.00 ±4.99 in males and 29.33± 2.58 in females and the average value of MELDNa was 22.2± 6.9. Conclusion: When compared with normal Indian standard Liver cirrhotic patient, form of frailty and reduced functional capacity non predominant. That stressed emphasis on rehabilitation and nutritional counselling during waiting period for Transplantation.
Violences de genre et situation des femmes incarcérées en prison au Brésil, pendant la pandémie de Covid-19
Authors: RIBEIRO DE OLIVEIRA Josilene , ROCHA Rosilene Oliveira
Published: April 2023

Cet article analyse les défis imposés par les mesures de prévention face à la propagation du coronavirus à la population carcérale féminine. Il s’agit d’une étude qualitative qui, à partir de données et de documents officiels, ainsi que d’entretiens réalisés auprès de femmes détenues et de professionnels d’une unité carcérale de l’État de Paraíba (Brésil), cherche à attirer l’attention sur la naturalisation de la violence et des inégalités qui marquent généralement les trajectoires de vie de ces femmes. L’analyse de la violence (re)produite dans les pratiques du système pénitentiaire et du système judiciaire, par l’intermédiaire d’agents du pouvoir de l’État, met en évidence l’intersectionnalité entre le genre, la « race » et la classe sociale, et l’aggravation due au contexte de la pandémie de Covid-19.
Pandémie, sexualité et contrôle des corps au travail

La pandémie de COVID-19 a été le théâtre d’une répression accrue envers les personnes les plus marginalisées. Pour celleux dont le sexe est la principale source de revenu, un (faux) choix s’est imposé : continuer à travailler en s’exposant au virus, au shaming collectif et à la répression policière ou cesser de travailler et ainsi dire adieu à leur revenu. Depuis le début de l’état d’urgence sanitaire, le virus sert de prétexte pour intensifier le contrôle de l’État sur les corps des TDS.
Biopouvoir, parrhésie et invisibilité des femmes : écouter la parole des petits crimes.
Authors: IORIS Amanda Luara de Carvalho , DA SILVA Stela Maris
Published: April 2023

Ce chapitre se propose de faire une discussion sur l'invisibilité des femmes, à partir des références de Foucault. La politique des corps, ou comment on traitera ici la biopolitique, a rapidement montré son visage avec l'avènement de la distance entre les personnes. La culture numérique, les virtualités, les médiations, l'emprise du biopouvoir ont nourri les mouvements néo-fascistes conservateurs. Le «biopouvoir» et la gestion de la vie sont désormais disciplinés dans les écoles, les collèges, les ateliers et dans les pratiques politiques, juridiques et économiques. D'un point de vue juridique, le biopouvoir découle de la société normalisatrice qui contrôle, exclut et interdit, qui génère ou fait taire dans les formations médical et juridique des thèmes tels que le suicide, l'euthanasie, vivre, mourir, la faim et la violence de l'invisibilité sociale. Le documentaire Bagatela met en lumière les faiblesses et dispositifs existant dans le système judiciaire brésilien et la relation difficile entre ceux qui veulent aider et ceux qui ont besoin d'être aidés. Il nous incite à réfléchir sur les cas de femmes emprisonnées à cause de petits vols et également sur les conséquences de l'incarcération dans leur vie.

Civil society plays an important role in the management of national parks, but there needs to be more literature on the interactions of civil society with government. The participatory management strategy has been criticized for articulating the ideals of failed collaboration in the management of national parks. The implementation of a collaborative management strategy has provided significant opportunities and roles for civil society in the management of the national park, taking into account the social, economic, and cultural conditions and expectations of the local community. The aim of this study is to empirically examine the participation of civil society and challenges in the management of Tesso Nilo National Park in Riau Province. Using qualitative and quantitative approaches through snowball interviews and social network modeling, and conducting a case study analysis, our findings show that the community is still given a secondary role. The involvement of civil society in the collaborative management of Tesso Nilo National Park still needs to be strengthened. However, the institutional formation and the nature of their involvement in supporting and implementing activities still needs to be improved. In some cases, community empowerment has already begun. The main challenges are related to regulations or policies, community capacity, resources and governance relationships, therefore the objectives of collaborative national park management activities have not been achieved.

In 2016, 95 % of the collected wastes are taken to 156 disposal facilities that are distributed throughout the Peninsular Malaysia, yet municipal solid waste (SPP) open dumping of is common wherever land is available. Previous studies show that the land use activities influence the waste generation. The issue of non-compliance such as illegal change of land use zoning and conflicts in development plans are among others that affect the environment sustainability. Therefore, the objective of this study is to calculate the reliability and coefficient of kappa value of municipal solid waste management criteria for land use planning in Malaysia. It is to identify the most important SPP management indicators during land use planning by valuing its reliability and kappa coefficient. This list of indicators can be used as references for land use planning by local authorities as well as one of SPP management steps towards sustainable development. Content analysis techniques were used in this study where journals, thesis, project reports and research report have been used in this research. The results show that waste collection, landfill, 3R, governance, education, stakeholders and services (n=7) are an important indicator of land use planning to ensure the sustainability of SPP management with alpha value, α=0.887. The results also show that governance is the most commonly used criteria in the MSW management as their role as decision makers and financial aspect needs, with a value of κ=0.837.

Pinkwashing Policies or Insider Activism? Allyship in the LGBTIQ+ Governance–Activism Nexus
Authors: Duplan Karine
Published: April 2023

While there has been an increase in the rights and visibility of LGBTIQ+ people in (most) European countries, critiques of what is denounced as instrumentalization by public policies of LGBTIQ+ issues have also developed. In this context, one can ask how to qualify the strengthened relationships between governance and activism. In this article, I propose to explore the paradoxical articulation of the multiple sites from where the cause support can be enacted. Drawing on a Geneva-based ethnographic research project, I use the concept of governance–activism nexus to reflect on the liminal position of public officials in charge of implementing equality agendas. Troubling further the insider–outsider binary divide, I argue that they act towards a discrete queering of municipal governance from the inside, through the practice of allyship in solidarity. In so doing, this article offers future research perspectives for the study of urban/regional LGBTIQ+ activism and politics, while allowing us to question our own position as critical or activist researchers in the field of feminist and queer geographies.
Destructions of the Anti-religious Strategy of the Soviet Period in the Civilization Choice of Ukraine
Authors:   Hryhorii Skovoroda University in Pereiaslav, Potapenko Ruslana
Published: April 2023

In the conditions of building a Soviet society, the Council of People’s Commissars of the RSFSR adopted a decree on the separation of the church from the state, the school from the church. Since then, the decree has become the basis of legislative acts, which determined the relations between the Soviet authorities and religious associations of Ukraine. Having announced the separation of church and state, the Soviet government gave society/citizens the right to independently choose any religion, or choose none. That is, the attempt to build an atheistic ideology of the USSR began. The decree caused the indignation of religious communities of all denominations without exception, because it legitimized open persecution both against the Orthodox Church and against religious societies, Christian and non-Christian. The decree referred to the strengthening of measures with a bias towards scientific and educational and anti-religious propaganda. In this direction, a huge amount of work was launched to establish the publication of a variety of religious press, the study of fundamental Marxist historical and philosophical problems in religious studies was introduced, ethnographic expeditions and sociological studies were conducted, the works of the classics of bourgeois religious studies were translated. And what was remarkable was the appearance of a number of «talented» experts who interpreted all of this in a way favorable to Soviet atheistic propaganda. Primary attention in atheist education was given to women. The problem was that the woman-mother brought up the future generation and had a greater influence on the formation of the worldview of the child than the man. That is why the propagandists of atheism paid the main attention to the formation of a scientific and materialistic worldview in women, often individually. The situation with «legality» in the Ukrainian SSR was interesting. The law was interpreted arbitrarily and was frankly decorative in nature, as a rule, this was done in order to be able to keep in subjection the party leadership, officials, representatives of the Council, the average citizen, who had religious beliefs. The abnormality and duplicity of the situation in which religious communities, parishioners and part of the party leadership were found was a common phenomenon. The situation changed somewhat with the coming to power of M. Gorbachev and his policy of «perestroika» and the course towards glasnost. Whole layers of previously forbidden, unknown history were discovered, which received the name «white spots», the crimes of Stalinism, repression became known, nationalist movements, the issue of the national language, etc. became more active. Liberalization and democratization of society took place, which ultimately led to the collapse of the USSR.

Subchondral raft plate fixation for lateral tibial plateau fractures - A prospective study
Authors: KA Kumar , SSS Kumar , N Jayachandran , R Shibu
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Tibial plateau fractures are often complex fractures that are difficult to stabilize. Subchondral raft technique is used to prevent depression and reduction loss using Kirschner wires, lag screws or locking screws with or without plates. The study aimed to assess the functional outcome of lateral tibial plateau fractures fixed with raft plate and the associated complications. Materials and methods: A prospective observational study of 45 consecutive patients with depressed lateral tibial plateau fractures treated with raft plate were studied at a tertiary care centre for a period of one year. Patients were followed up for a minimum period of 6 months. The Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale (LKSS) was used to assess the functional outcomes. Results: The mean age of the patients was 43.8 ± 10.54 years (range 18-60 years). Male- Female ratio was 2.75:1 (M=33, F=12). Proportion of type II Schatzker fractures was 44.4%. 35 patients (77.8%) sustained injury due to road traffic accident and the rest due to fall. Bone grafting was done in 18 patients (40%). Knee stiffness and flexion less than 95⁰ were noted in 5 patients (11.1%). Superficial wound infection was noted in 2 patients (4.4%). Knee pain was observed in 7 patients (15.6%). Conclusion: Laterally placed raft plate with periarticular locking screws through it offers an excellent method of fixation of tibial plateau fractures, which preserves the anatomical joint line and the normal mechanical axis with minimal complications. Raft plating may obviate the need for dual plating in most of the tibial plateau fractures.

Authors: M Krishnegowda , P Unki , LM Manuja , MP Kerudi
Published: April 2023

Pain is often a subjective sensation having physiological, psychological and emotional implications for an individual. In a hospital setting, children usually perceive unpredictable pain which is often procedure related that can impact both emotionally and psychologically. Perception of pain varies with multiple factors such as age, gender, intellectual level, personality, parental care and previous experience of painful procedure/ suppression of pain using pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic measures. Our study aimed to assess the effectiveness of animated cartoons as a distraction strategy to reduce behavioral response to pain perception among children undergoing venepuncture and to assess and compare pain perception in children with and without cartoon distraction. We had total of 60 children participated in the study group, we found that children who were distracted perceived less pain (p < 0.001), also the number of attempts required to do venepuncture also reduced significantly (p < 0.001). We concluded that, distraction technique is a simple yet effective tool in alleviating pain during venepuncture in preschool children. This technique can help in reduction of anxiety among children.
The Claim for Pluralism in Economics: What is Behind It?
Authors:   Moscow State Lomonosov University, Tambovtsev Vitaly L.
Published: April 2023

The purpose of the article is to analyze the grounds for the demand for pluralism in economics put forward by some economists. In this paper we analyze various interpretations of economic pluralism, focusing on ‘paradigmatic’ or ‘strategic’ type of pluralism. This ‘paradigmatic’ or ‘strategic’ pluralism implies such requirement as ensuring equal access for supporters of various heterodox streams of economic thought to various capitals of the prevailing stream – the economics mainstream. The characteristics of competition in science as the basis for the growth of scientific knowledge are considered in the paper, as well as the changes that have occurred in the competition process as a result of the spread of neoliberal science policy. The emergence of a new type of competition – the competition between government departments that finance basic research – is revealed. It is demonstrated that this type of competition among scientists results in opportunistic behavior which is expressed in the concentration of academic workers on indicators rather than on work itself. This tendency hinders the growth of scientific knowledge and creates incentives for unfair competitive actions. Measures of the above mentioned type of scientific policy also create organizational and economic difficulties for representatives of heterodox economics research programs, to overcome which the demands for achieving economic pluralism were launched. From the point of view of competition in science, these requirements are an attempt at unfair competitive actions. Based on this, alternative proposals for the development of heterodox research programs are proposed.

Published: April 2023

Antioxidants are chemical compounds that donate one or more electrons to free radicals to inhibit free radical reactions. One of the potential antioxidant sources is gandaria fruit (Bouea Macrophylla Griff). This research aims to determine the antioxidant activity and vitamin C content of the gandaria fruit extract. Gandaria fruit was macerated with ethanol as a solvent. Furthermore, the rotated extract was carried out for the phytochemical screening. The results of the phytochemical screening of the gandaria fruit extract showed a positive of flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, saponins, and phenolics. The gandaria fruit extract was tested for antioxidants and quantitative analysis of vitamin C levels to obtain IC50 values and vitamin C levels using spectrophotometry UV-Vis at a wavelength of 517nm with vitamin C as a positive control. The results of spectrophotometric measurements revealed that the gandaria fruit extract had an IC50 value of 5.72 g/ml, and vitamin C had an IC50 value of 2.260 g/ml, indicating that the gandaria fruit extract and vitamin C had very strong antioxidants.

Oxidative stress is characterized by an imbalance in the generation of free radicals and their subsequent elimination by endogenous antioxidants. It is a characteristic of several diseases, especially during the progression stage, which can lead to fatal effects. This study aims to investigate the phytochemical components and antioxidant capability of Tamarindus indica and assess its capability as a candidate for managing diseases associated with oxidative stress. The gravimetric method detected and quantified phytochemicals, while the reducing power assay determined the antioxidant potential. Saponins, steroids, and flavonoids were detected in 6.83 ±0.44, 4.30 ±0.60, and 10.17% ±0.60, respectively, without alkaloids, glycosides, and terpenoids. The antioxidant test showed a concentration-dependent increase in absorbance of both the extract and standard (Ascorbic acid). However, Ascorbic acid had higher absorbance. At 100% concentration, the sample had an absorbance of 0.388 ±0.022, which was lower than the absorbance of Ascorbic acid (0.411 ±0.009) at 40% concentration. It can be concluded that Tamarind leaves could be utilized to manage diseases associated with oxidative stress, evidenced by their antioxidant potential credited to the phytochemical content of the leaves. However, there is a need for further studies to ascertain the exact compounds and their modes of action.

Authors: Hoffmann Bridget , Pulido Xiomara , Vera-Cossio Diego A.
Published: April 2023

We investigate the unequal impact of environmental shocks on high-stakes test scores across income levels to document that climate change will exacerbate inequality. We show that low-income students systematically score lower than high-income students and also have greater exposure to extreme heat. We show that extreme temperatures in the week leading up to the exam reduce test scores only for low-income students, indicating one channel through which climate change will exacerbate inequality.
Chemical process modelling from a micro to a macro approach: Closing the gap
Authors: Chejne Farid , Camargo-Trillos Diego , Álvarez Hernán , Maya Juan C.
Published: April 2023

The present study discusses the multiscale modeling of chemical processes. Despite the existence of very good models for chemical processes from a macroscopic point of view, they can be limited due to the use of poorly estimated transport and transfer coefficients that reduce the accuracy needed for good technology development. Even if models are supported by fundamental relations, there is an unclear connection between their transport coefficient and molecular dynamics. The microscopic models can model several phenomena at atomic or molecular sizes with extreme precision. However, creating a link between the micro and the macro scale takes a huge computation time, as the way they link is not direct. We study this in detail here.

El potencial que emerge : cognición, neurociencia y aprendizaje en adolescentes universitarios
Authors: Pease D. María Angélica
Published: April 2023

El estudio del aprendizaje de los adolescentes en la universidad requiere cada vez más de un enfoque interdisciplinario. Los últimos hallazgos en el estudio del cerebro no solo han permitido desterrar la idea de que este alcanza su máximo desarrollo en la niñez sino también comprender qué sucede durante la adolescencia y valorar el rol central que tiene el entorno para el desarrollo cognitivo del adolescente (y para el desarrollo del cerebro adolescente). En el presente artículo se revisa el debate sobre la conceptualización de la adolescencia como etapa de desarrollo y aquellas características vinculadas al desempeño académico durante los primeros años de educación superior. No pretendemos proponer fórmulas mágicas sobre cómo enseñar en los espacios de educación superior, sino principalmente brindar elementos que permitan comprender qué sucede —desde el aprendizaje— con el adolescente que ingresa a la universidad, y por ende cómo servirlo mejor. Empezaremos por el recuento de algunas inquietudes respecto a la educación superior, así como algunos mitos sobre esta etapa que prevalecen cuando se accede a la vida universitaria. Posteriormente, enfocaremos aquellosaspectos vinculados al desempeño académico intentando desmitificar algunas afirmaciones que lejos de aportar, desinforman y llevan a tomar medidas erróneas.
