Study was conducted to determine the heavy metal concentration in 5 freshwater fishes Heteropneustes fossilis, Clarias batrachus, Anabus testudineus, Oreochromis niloticus, and Mystus gulio during autumn and winter. Most widely eaten five freshwater fish species were selected for this purpose. These fish species were Among the heavy metals estimated in this study (Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn) the Cd, Cu, Zn were within the acceptable level but Cr and Pb concentration was above the maximum allowable limit. The Cd, Cr, Pb concentration in the fish muscle was higher in winter as compared to that of autumn but the Cu and Zn concentration was higher in autumn when compared to that of winter. Result of the present research indicates that the heavy metal concentration in fish muscle significantly varies with season. Some heavy metal were within the acceptable level in autumn season but above the maximum allowable limit in winter season. In H. fossilis, C. batrachus, and O. niloticus, heavy metal concentration was within the acceptable level but in A. testudineus and M. gulio heavy metal concentration was above the maximum allowable limit. So heavy metal concentration varied with season as well as with species of fish.

Present study was conducted in three different Upazilas viz., Batiaghata, Dacope and Rupsha of Khulna district, Bangladesh from August 2016 to May 2017. Data were collected through personal contact, farms and market survey and discussion with shrimp farmers and drug sellers. Farmers of the research areas used Oxolinic acid, Renamucin, Oxytetracucline, Lime, Salt, Formalin, Eco-solution, Basudin and Timsen to treat the viral, bacterial and fungal diseases. Average recovery of 55-60% and 35-40% were recorded from bacterial and fungal diseases of shrimp respectively, but there was no recovery in case of viral diseases. Shrimps of nontreated ghers were affected by WSSV, Black gill disease, Black spot disease, Zoothumnium and external fouling but almost no disease were observed in aqua drugs-treated ponds. Histological findings showed that shrimp muscles and hepatopancreas in drug treated ponds and ghers had some pathological changes like necrosis, vacuums and hemorrhages which were severe in winter season, whereas, normal structure of muscle and hepatopancreas were observed during summer season. Production of shrimp in the study areas was recorded 6916 Kg/ha in probiotics and aqua-drugs treated ponds, whereas, 543 Kg/ha in non-treated ghers. From the present study it could be concluded that aqua-drugs and chemicals have positive effect on shrimp health and production except some pathological changes in the investigated organgs of shrimp especially during winter season.

Though Asian Seabass, which is locally known as "Koral"/"Vetki," is a vital species in terms of its popularity and price, little is known about the location of breeding and nursery ground, peak breeding season, peak harvesting season, population dynamics, harvesting operation (gears and crafts used for harvesting) of this species in Bangladesh. An investigation was carried out to enlist the group of crafts and gears that are being operated on the Bay of Bengal coast by the fishermen for Asian seabass harvesting. The survey was based on interviews with the local fishermen and secondary data collected from the regional fisheries offices. The study revealed a total of 10 distinguishing fishing gears, including seven nets and two types of hook and lines were used for harvesting this fish. Some are selective for harvesting Seabass, but most of them are involved in multi-species exploitation. Four types of motorized and two types of non-motorized traditional boats are being used for harvesting the seabass in Bangladesh. The seabass fishery extends almost throughout the year at different life stages. The Koral net, Mela Barshi (Single Hook and line), and Push net were found to be effective for catching adult, pre-adult, and juvenile Asian seabasses, respectively. The Sampan boat and Mela barshi were reported for the first time as fishing boats and fishing gear in Bangladesh.

Photosynthetic activity in the leaf of ten grape varieties was studied in the conditions of the northern part of Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. From 2019 to 2020 meteorological data were recorded by the ‟Meteotrekˮ meteorological station. The influence of weather conditions of the spring-summer period at the beginning of the vegetation phases, which in 2019 took place on average 12 days earlier than in 2020, was noted. Analysis of changes in the induction of chlorophyll fluorescence (ICF) in leaves revealed the more efficient use of quantum energy of absorbed light by F0 in the leaves of most varieties was noted in the phase “the beginning of berry ripening”. During the three periods of the study, the varieties Aromatnyj, Zagadka, Ilichevskij rannij, and Kardishah showed a lower content of chlorophyll molecules, which do not have a functional connection with the reaction centers (RC). According to the Fp index the highest intensity of photosynthesis on average for all varieties was observed in the phase “the beginning of ovary growth”, the lowest – “the inflorescence is visible”. The potential productivity of grape plants determined by the ICF coefficient for all varieties was at a very high level and had a weak or moderate correlation with weather conditions during the growing season. The hydrothermal coefficient and Σ act t ≥10 °С had a weak effect on the efficiency of the light phase of photosynthesis (Ki) and a noticeable one (correlation coefficient r = 0.50 – 0.69) on the efficiency of dark photochemical processes (Rfd) in the leaves of most grape varieties.

Akhir-akhir ini banyak permasalahan rumah susun yang mencuat dipermukaan, hal tersebut dikarenakan tingginya infestasi rumah susun yang tidak dibarengi dengan pengetahuan hukum yang terkait dengan rumah susun di kalangan masyarakat luas. Perumahan merupakan salah satu kebutuhan dasar manusia baik itu sebagai tempat tinggal, usaha perkantoran, usaha berjualan dan lain sebagainya. Kita semua mengetahui bahwa untuk mencari rumah yang layak diperkotaan sangatlah sulit yang hal ini disebabkan karena terbatasnya lahan  tanah didaerah perkotaan.

Undang Undang No 41 Tahun 2004 Tentang Wakaf pada mulanya dilatarbelakangi dengan tujuan memajukan kesejahteraan umat, maka UU ini manjadikan hak milik atas satuan rumah susun sebagai harta benda wakaf. Mengingat bahwa tujuan dari rumah susun adalah untuk sebagai tempat tinggal dan atau hunian, maka tentu saja hak milik atas satuan rumah susun memiliki nilai ekonomis yakni dengan menyewakan kemanfaatannya kepada pihak lain, dan diperuntukkan untuk tujuan wakaf. Pembangunan rumah susun merupakan salah satu alternatif pemecahan masalah kebutuhan perumahan dan pemukiman terutama di daerah perkotaan yang jumlah penduduknya terus meningkat.

¿Pueden los remedios difundidos por las redes sociales prevenir y curar la COVID-19?
Authors: Neyra Enrique
Published: July 2021

La pandemia de COVID-19 no solo nos viralizó con un nuevo agente patógeno sino también con un sinfín de desinformación difundida mayormente por las redes sociales destacándose la promoción de una variedad de remedios caseros y medicamentos a los que se les atribuía propiedades curativas y efectivas contra la COVID-19. En este artículo se abordaron cuatro de los principales productos difundidos: azitromicina, hidroxicloroquina, ivermectina y el remedio casero a base de ajo, kion, cebolla, y miel. Se comprobó que la azitromicina no es un antibiótico natural sino sintético y combate las infecciones bacterianas producidas por la COVID-19. Además, tanto la hidroxicloroquina como la ivermectina carecen de estudios suficientes que prueben su eficacia contra esta enfermedad. Así mismo, si bien es cierto que a cada ingrediente del “brebaje milagroso” se le atribuye beneficios antinflamatorios y antimicrobianos, su mezcla no garantiza un efecto sobre la COVID-19.

KAPITALISME DAN KOMODIFIKASI JILBAB SYAR’I DI KALANGAN ARTIS DALAM PERSPEKTIF KARL MARX
Authors: Sucipto Agung Drajat
Published: July 2021

The trend of Hijrah in Indonesia has made several fashion industries develop rapidly. This is strengthened by artists or public figures who decide to ‘hijrah’, so that their fans will follow. Not a few artists who left the entertainment world have transformed into businessmen of Muslim clothing, headscarves to hijabers on instagram. On the other hand, fulfilling the need for Islamic dress makes it more expensive to follow the development of increasingly diverse fashion models. This consumptive behavior paradigm is caused by a shift and change in the values of capital. This research examines how Karl Marx's approach to historical materialism is related to the proposition that production and distribution are the basis of humans in helping to develop their existence. For him, the process of human life in history is divided into two factors, namely the basis (economic factors) and the superstructure (religion). In principle, Marx emphasized that the economic basis is what will determine the superstructure of society. Marx said religion was like opium. The more people serve their religion, the more they lose themselves. Because man made religion, not religion made man.
FASAHAH SEBAGAI ASPEK KEMUKJIZATAN DALAM AL-QUR’AN (‘Abd al-Jabbar Dan Pemikirannya)
Authors: Ridlo Abdullah
Published: July 2021

‘Abd al-Jabbar sebagai tokoh Mu’tazilah yang terkenal sebagai aliran rasional dalam Islam, ia tetap mempertahankan prinsip rasionalitas tersebut. Ia dalam memahami aspek kemukjizatan al-Qur’an terlihat bahwa ia adalah orang yang konsen dan ahli dalam bidang bahasa Arab. Hal ini terlihat dalam upayanya menunjukkan fasahah adalah aspek kemukjizatan al-Qur’an yang sesungguhnya. Karena menurutnya, fasahah itu mencakup seluruh ungkapan tanpa melihat tema atau tujauan, dengan tanpa memandang bentuk, tipe ataupun jenis. Penetapan Fasahah sebagai aspek kemukjizatan al-Qur’an dapat dilihat melalui tiga dimensi dalam struktur bahasa, yaitu, pertama; penggantian yang hanya terjadi pada kata-kata, maksudnya adalah pemilihan kata-kata tertentu yang mungkin cocok untuk dipergunakan dalam konteks tertentu, kedua; posisi yang menjadi monopoli uslub, tentang mendahulukan dan mengakhirkan, ketiga; tentang i’rab yang hanya terjadi pada peristiwa gramatikal dari sebuah kata. ‘Abd al-Jabbar, Linguistik Arab, Fasahah, al-Sarfah, I’jaz al-Qur’an

Authors: Nurindarwati Rismiyati
Published: July 2021

Salah satu tugas Pengawas adalah melaksanakan supervisi di sekolah yang menjadi tanggung jawabnya. Supervisi sama sekali bukan penilaian unjuk kerja guru. Apalagi bila tujuan utama penilaiannya semata-mata hanya dalam arti sempit, yaitu mengkalkulasi kualitas keberadaan guru dalam memenuhi kepentingan akreditasi guru belaka. Hal ini sangat berbeda dengan konsep supervisi, secara konseptual, supervisi adalah serangkaian kegiatan membantu guru mengembangkan kemampuannya mengelola proses pembelajaran demi pencapaian tujuan pembelajaran. Supervisi merupakan upaya membantu guru-guru mengembangkan kemampuannya mencapai tujuan pembelajaran. Dengan demikian, berarti, esensi supervisi itu sama sekali bukan menilai kinerja guru dalam mengelola proses pembelajaran, melainkan membantu guru mengembangkan kemampuan profesionalismenya.Meskipun demikian, supervisi tidak bisa terlepas dari penilaian unjuk kerja guru dalam mengelola pembelajaran. Apabila di atas dikatakan, bahwa supervisi merupakan serangkaian kegiatan membantu guru mengembangkan kemampuannya mengelola proses pembelajaran, maka menilai unjuk kerja guru dalam mengelola proses pembelajaran merupakan salah satu kegiatan yang tidak bisa dihindarkan prosesnya.Penilaian kinerja guru dalam mengelola proses pembelajaran sebagai suatu proses pemberian estimasi mutu kerja guru dalam mengelola proses pembelajaran, merupakan bagian integral dari serangkaian kegiatan supervisi kunjungan kelas. Agar supervisi dapat membantu guru mengembangkan kemampuannya, maka untuk pelaksanaannya terlebih dahulu perlu diadakan penilaian kemampuan guru, sehingga bisa ditetapkan aspek yang perlu dikembangkan dan cara mengembangkannya. Kata Kunci: Pengawas, Supervisi dan Kinerja Guru

All 115,025 unique file attachments found in the entire sample (0.5% of all spam) were also scanned and 31.4 percent (36,405) were compromised with various forms of malware. The majority of compromised attachments were found in images (55.6%), followed by PDFs (15.0%) and binary files (10.0%). Various trojans and ransomware were the most common malware, and these and others identified in the sample are described.
The impact of arrest and seizure on drug crime and harms: A systematic review
Authors: Eggins Elizabeth , Hine Lorelei
Published: July 2021

Drawing on the Global Policing Database (GPD), this review assesses the impact of supplier arrests and seizures on drug crime, drug use, drug price, drug purity, and drug harm outcomes. Just 13 impact evaluation studies (reported in 18 documents) met inclusion criteria. An evidence and gap map was constructed, showing that research to date relates primarily to drug harms, followed by drug crime and drug price, and that there are significant gaps in the impact evaluation literature. The results of this review demonstrate the limited amount of high-quality scientific evidence that can be used to examine the impact of supplier arrest and seizure on a range of drug-related outcomes.
É assim, porque é assim que tem que ser: a retórica galante nos motetes de José Maurício, observada no uso da pedagogia dos partimenti, da gramática das schemata e da oratória musical
Authors: Machado Neto Diósnio , Tavares Fernando , Lopes da Silva Rodrigo , Caum e Silva Gustavo
Published: July 2021

A música no universo galante tinha como teleologia objetivar processos sociocomunicativos através da experiência compartilhada de figuras musicais, campos expressivos, esquemas harmônicos (contrapontísticos) e modelos dramáticos transformados em oratória musical (onde a forma se inclui). Estes parâmetros se desdobravam por uma técnica composicional onde cada elemento estava devidamente articulado com uma ideia a se expressar; ou seja, cada elemento tinha uma função e objetivo dentro da estrutura. Assim, frases e cadências, campos expressivos e figuras de retórica, existiam sempre numa relação das partes com o todo. Era o que, na música, se desprendia do esforço de se alinhar a uma ideia hegemônica nos círculos cultos setecentistas: uma lógica de invenção pelo princípio da Ars Combinatória de Leibnitz. O presente texto trata de mostrar, primeiro, como a regência desse processo se dava sob uma mentalidade cognitiva operada pela ideia de Retórica Musical. Segundo, como era assimilada e operacionalizada como pedagogia, processo criativo e expressão ideológica, enquanto discurso musical. Para tanto, usaremos excertos de motetes do compositor carioca José Maurício Nunes Garcia (1767-1830) para decantar vários elementos expressivos relacionando-os com modelos aprendidos através da pedagogia dos partimenti e, também, dos processos combinatórios dos esquemas retóricos para construção de pictorialismos naturais da escrita motetistica. Neste sentido, o estudo mostra como tonalidades, cadências, harmonia, schemata e métricas estão articuladas como processos oratóriais que interpretamos ser a ideia de redenção. O texto, diga-se, apresenta resultados de uma linha de pesquisa desenvolvida no Laboratório de Musicologia da EACH-USP sobre processos discursivos na música de José Maurício. Segue a tese das representações de valores e crenças que, metaforizados em música, se alinham com estruturas ideológicas de controle no exercício do espetáculo litúrgico nos domínios luso-brasileiros.

Authors: Uddin Md. Sayed , Mohammed Adam Andani
Published: July 2021

The new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which spread across the globe has no effective treatment or vaccine and calls for other ways to control its infection are needed. The disease easily spread among people in close contact through cough and/or sneeze. This prompted the World Health Organisation WHO to recommend other ways of controlling the disease to include quarantine, isolation and social distancing where people without the symptoms are distanced from one another. Students may experience loneliness, anxiety, depression, and insomnia due to self-quarantine and other issues like social isolation, perceived dangers, uncertainty in relation to study, physical discomfort, fear of virus infection from others, negative news in the mass media. As such, international students who are far from home were invited as respondents to explore the effect of these control measure on those under self-quarantine. A qualitative online interview protocol was sent to the locations of these students at Sungai Chinchin in Gombak and international student hostel Sabah. To be eligible, respondents should be international students and observing self-quarantine.

Bir kurumda, çalışanların kendini iyi hissetmesi kurumun başarısı için büyük önem taşımaktadır. Kendini iyi hisseden çalışanlar işlerine daha iyi motive olur ve motivasyonun artması performans artışıyla sonuçlanır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, çalışanların maruz kaldığı kötü muamelenin motivasyonlarını nasıl etkilediğini ortaya koymak ve motivasyonun çalışanların performansı üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir.

Araştırma kapsamında, farklı kurumlarda görev yapan çalışanlardan anket aracılığıyla veri toplanmıştır. Araştırma hipotezlerini test etmek için basit regresyon analizleri yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda sözlü kötü muamele ve duygusal ihmalin motivasyon üzerinde negatif yönde bir etkisinin olduğu, ancak iş engelleme boyutunun motivasyon üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Motivasyonun çalışan performansı üzerinde ise pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu elde edilen bir diğer sonuçtur. Çalışma sonuçlarının çalışanları rencide edici sözlerin ve emeklerine değer vermemenin, işe yönelik zorluk çıkarmaktan daha fazla motivasyonlarını etkilediğini ortaya koyması açısından önem taşımaktadır.
The Egyptian Influence On Exodus 17:8–16
Authors: Peterson Brian Neil
Published: July 2021

The battle between Israel and Amalek recorded in Exod 17:8–16 is perhaps one of the most unique battle reports in the Hebrew Bible. In the brief account, victory comes when Moses stands on a hill overlooking the battlefield with his hands raised while Aaron and Hur support each arm. Scholars have offered many suggestions as to what may have influenced the author when recording this account. This article offers an alternate view by proposing that the author may have been influenced by the common Egyptian cosmological scene depicting the air god Shu holding aloft the goddess Nut while being aided by two spirit-deities.

These markets include Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Taiwan, India and china. Multivariate Cointegration and VAR procedures are performed to observe the long term dynamic relationships among these market Results show that Karachi stock exchange is best performing market for the period under study as it offers the highest return at relatively low risk level. Multivariate Cointegration analysis provides an evidence of a single cointegrating equation among the markets studied. The results of the bivariate Cointegration tests indicate that the Pakistani stock market is not individually integrated with any of the emerging Asia Pacific markets except Hong Kong and Taiwan. Granger causality tests reveal a casual flow from Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Indian indices to Karachi stock exchange index. This unidirectional causality is indicator of lead-lag relationship amongst them. Variance decomposition analysis shows that Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) is exogenous as most of its vibrations are explained by its own unique shocks. Above results explain that international investors can derive the benefits of portfolio diversification and any volatility in emerging Asia Pacific markets does not expose the international investors in Karachi stock exchange to any immediate threat of spill over effect.

Framing the societal value of community interpreting
Authors: García-Beyaert Sofía
Published: July 2021

After presenting the concept of communicative autonomy and how it can help professionals with ethical decision-making (micro), I draw on two different visual examples to analyze framing strategies for the profession by society at large (macro). One strategy relies on experiences of identity and belonging, while the other moves away from considerations of identity. I discuss what their respective advantages and disadvantages might be. I connect these strategies to the concept of “identity politics” and its counterpart “identity override”. For the final step of this article, I resort to some examples of groups that have made progress in the political agenda with their civil rights claims. It helps me make the case for a bi-faceted strategy for the advancement of community interpreting that both leverages identity group dynamics and is simultaneously able to appeal to the overarching concept of communicative autonomy.
