MICROPLASTIC IN INDIA A SHODDY AFFAIR
Authors: MUKHERJEE ABHISHEK , BHATTACHARJEE ARCHISMAN , ROY AOISHIK
Published: December 2022

Small sized fragmented plastic or microplastic contamination is widespread and considered as one of the major problems of aquatic environment. Ability to resist bio-degradation amplifies longevity, long transportation and aggregation, enables microplastics to find their sink in the drinking water. The situation in India is more critical as sources of microplastics are far too many and the high sediment flux in the rivers may easily facilitate the process of fragmentation during typical tropical climate, making the aquatic ecosystem of India extremely vulnerable. Detailed research and careful monitoring activities could bring clearer picture of the scenario and assess the impact of plastics on environment and biota. Some mechanism through which the emissions at the source could be checked or some other ways to reduce and reuse plastic waste or some new novel business solutions are essential to tackle this problem.

Authors: Alotaibi Manar A. , Alotaibi Haifa A. , Bin Abdulrahman Khalid A.
Published: December 2022

Background: Topical corticosteroids are the first line of treatment for many dermatological disorders. Patients frequently have excessive concerns about the side effects of steroids and may even refuse to use topical steroids to treat their dermatological conditions due to their fear of steroids. This study aimed to explore knowledge and phobias regarding using topical corticosteroids among the Saudi population. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the public knowledge and their fears about using topical corticosteroids in 2022. A previously developed questionnaire was adapted and used in this study. Binary logistic regression was conducted to identify factors that affect participants’ fear of using topical corticosteroids. Results: A total of 1,889 people participated in the study. Around half of the study participants (46.2%) reported using topical corticosteroids. The vast majority (88.8%) reported that topical corticosteroids effectively managed their dermatological condition. Approximately half (47.1%) reported worrying about side effects when using topical corticosteroids. About 15.0% reported having delayed a hospital visit due to concern about prescribing topical corticosteroids. Although 16.4% of them refused to get prescribed topical corticosteroids, 17.0% have not applied corticosteroids. The study participants showed a low level of phobia about using topical corticosteroids, with a mean phobia score of 1.7 (SD: 1.6), representing 28.3% (out of the maximum phobia score). The mean phobia score showed a statistically significant difference between the participants who reported having experienced or are presently experiencing skin disease (p <0.05). Conclusion: Phobia about topical corticosteroids is a common problem that warrants further investigation. It affects patients’ compliance with corticosteroid therapy, which ultimately will result in worsening their clinical outcomes. Healthcare professionals should focus on education on topical corticosteroids and correct any misconceptions about this group of medications. Keywords: Topical corticosteroids; Fear; Phobia; Skin diseases; Saudi Arabia

Published: December 2022

Background: Medical students’ mental health is a significant problem, as research has shown that their mental health was comparable to, if not better than, the general population before attending medical school. The study aimed to examine emotional intelligence and burnout and their associated factors and identify their predictors among medical students at Imam Mohammed Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU). Methods: A cross-sectional study targeted medical students at the college of medicine of IMSIU. The invited students were requested to respond to the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) and TEI Que-SF questionnaires. Sociodemographic and personal life data were also evaluated. Results: Out of the 350 invited medical students, 280 (80%) completed the study questionnaires. More than half (53.2 %) were females, while 66.8 % were aged between 21 and 23. Generally, the mean score of the four scales of the tool were 4.56 (Out of 6), 4.31 (Out of 6), 4.72 (Out of 8), and 4.62 (Out of 6), where higher scores mean better emotional intelligence. According to the results of the MBI-SS tool, 19.3 % of the students had a high-level burnout considering the exhaustion subscale, 76.4 % in the depersonalization subscale, and 77.5 % in the personal achievement subscale. Emotional intelligence is negatively correlated with exhaustion and depersonalization burnout and positively related with personal achievement burnout. Conclusion: A significant correlation was found between medical students’ emotional intelligence with burnout components, positively with academic achievement, and negatively with exhaustion and depersonalization burnout. Improving the student’s ability to deal successfully with different situations (increasing emotional intelligence) is associated with a lower level of burnout and better academic achievement.

Physical Activity and Vaccine Response
Authors: Suzuki Kotaro
Published: December 2022

Over the past decade, numerous research studies have shown that the immune system’s capacity for creating antibodies after getting vaccinated is better in those who exercise are physically active. Authoritative studies show that exercise is an important ally of the vaccine, amplifying its effectiveness. The immune response to vaccines is usually lower in the elderly population. Several strategies have been used to help overcome this problem. Recently, studies in humans and animals have shown that exercise increases antigen-specific blood antibody levels following vaccination. Exercise has been considered as an effective way to improve vaccine response in the elderly population. In this chapter, we will discuss the effect of exercise on vaccine response. This study summarizes the current understanding of exercise and antibody production. In order to develop intervention strategies, it will be necessary to further elucidate the predisposing factors and mechanisms behind exercise induce antibody response.
Economic Growth and Environmental Pollution; Testing the EKC Hypothesis in Brazil
Authors: Ampomah Asiedu Benjamin
Published: December 2022

The study looks at Economic growth and environmental pollution: an assessment of the Environmental Kuznets Curve in Brazil from 1990 to 2018. The ADF-Fisher, PP-Fisher, Im Pesaran, and Chin unit root tests checked stationarity. The VAR model was used to check the influence of individual endogenous variables, and the Wald test was used to determine the variables’ combined impact. The researchers used the Pairwise Dumitrescu Hurlin panel causality (PDHPC) and Pairwise Granger causality tests to assess all of the hypotheses. At order one, the variables are integrated. The lag order used for further calculations is the Akaike Information Criterion. The Fisher cointegration test revealed the cointegration according to the individual cross-section result. According to the Pairwise Dumitrescu Hurlin panel causality (PDHPC) and Pairwise Granger causality tests, economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions are bidirectional. Both the PDHPC and the PGCT support the environmental Kuznets curve theory. Because the EKC hypothesis exists in Brazil, the study concluded that both pure and filthy productions coincide. When Brazil reaches a particular level of development, however, its population may seek a healthier environment, and governments in these countries may pass stricter environmental regulations to encourage cleaner industry. When followed, the procedures may help to improve environmental quality.
Marine Free-Living Nematodes as Tools for Environmental Pollution Assessment: A Special Focus on Emerging Contaminants Impact in the Tunisian Lagoon Ecosystems
Authors: Nasri Ahmed , Hannachi Amel , Allouche Mohamed , Aydi Abdelwaheb , Aïssa Patricia , Beyrem Hamouda , Mahmoudi Ezzeddine
Published: December 2022

Coastal ecosystems are exposed to pollution by various contaminants due to several anthropogenic activities. Numerous pollutants, such as pesticides, drugs, metals, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), Brominated flame retardants (BFRs), and Microplastics (MPs), transported in the water column tend to persist in the sediments. Among the Tunisian coastal areas, the Bizerte and Ghar El Melh lagoons are exposed to several pollutants resulting from different activities, such as agriculture, urbanization, and industrialization. Consequently, sediments are intensely dirtied by a wide range of pollutants. Due to their relatively short life cycles and high turnover rates, free-living nematodes reacted quickly to environmental changes. This most dominant meiobenthic taxon, has been mainly exploited as indicator of disturbance because of its ubiquity, high abundance, and taxonomic diversity. In this current chapter, we cited the different environmental pollutants effects and show the importance of nematodes as bio-indicator species in environmental monitoring.
Ecotoxicity Effects of Lead Bullets in Human and Wildlife: The Consequences of Environmental Pollution, Low Intelligence Quotient, Brain Damage and Brain Overclaim Syndrome
Authors: Alhaji Saganuwan Saganuwan
Published: December 2022

Bullets from gunshots made of lead are used to kill and arrest criminals, as they are also used by criminals to intimidate or kill innocents for psychosocial gains. So the increased environmental pollution caused by lead from industries, firearms, gasoline, among others is a source of concern for environmental health specialists, clinical toxicologists, experimental toxicologists, industrial toxicologists and ecotoxicologists. Lead can get into body system accidentally via oral, inhalational, epidermal, dermal, intraperitoneal, and intravenous routes. The toxicokinetic data of lead disposition via various routes of administrations are quite inconsistent. Hence the set blood limit concentration has been considered to be incorrect. In view of this, toxicokinetic data analysis of lead was carried out with intent to determine toxic doses of lead in various organs, and its toxicological consequences. Findings have shown that at lower doses, kinetics of lead is linear (first order), and at higher doses the kinetics becomes non-linear (zero-order). Metabolic processes modulated by lead could be either rate limiting or non–rate-limiting causing induction and inhibition of a myriad of metabolizing enzymes in liver, brain, kidney, intestine and lung. The LD50 of lead bullet in human was 450 mg/kg, which caused death in 9.1 days, and penicillamine (18 mg/kg) can be used for treatment. Mean residence time (MRT) and elimination half-life (T12β) were 25.8 and 18 days, respectively.

Authors: Plonsker Jillian , Brandel Michael , Khan Usman , L. Levy Michael
Published: December 2022

Penetrating head trauma is rare in the pediatric population, and rarer still in the civilian pediatric population. The high rehabilitation potential of children and the higher likelihood of a low-velocity, survivable injury necessitates careful management to minimize morbidity due to secondary injury from ischemia or infection. Management of penetrating injuries includes patient stabilization, appropriate imaging, and if surgery is needed, entry/exit site debridement with dural closure to prevent cerebrospinal fluid leak. Post-operative care includes infection prevention, intracerebral pressure management, and early identification of vasospasm and pseudoaneurysm formation.

Aflatoxin B1: An Immunomodulator and Cancer Agent
Authors: Mutocheluh Mohamed , Williams Narkwa Patrick
Published: December 2022

The type I interferon signaling pathway of the innate immune system plays a key role in the first line of defense in eliminating pathogens and other chemical agents that are introduced into the body and is also known to exhibit the anticancer properties. Therefore, any agent being chemical or components of microorganisms that tend to inhibit or suppress the type I interferon response pathway will weaken the innate immune system and predispose individuals to infectious agents and cancers. Aflatoxin B1 has been reported to modulate the immune system by suppressing inflammatory cytokines, monocytes, lymphocytes and the type I interferon signaling response pathway. Aflatoxin B1 contamination of food is very high in most sub-Saharan African countries. Aflatoxin B1 contamination of diet coupled with subsequent prolonged heavy exposure is one of the major risk factors for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. Aflatoxin B1 is known to cause hepatocellular carcinoma by inducing mutation in the tumor suppressor gene TP53. We present in this review the mechanism by which aflatoxin B1 inhibits the type I interferon signaling pathway thus pre-disposing exposed individuals to cancers and other infections.

Authors: Sghaier Nizar
Published: December 2022

This chapter proposes another scaled-down receiving wire for Radio Frequency Identification uses of 2.45 GHz. Our design comprises of a roundabout microstrip fix radio wire which integrates two concentric annular openings imprinted on multi-facet substrates. The transmission capacity, one of the main qualities of radio wire, can be essentially improved by utilizing a multi-facet dielectric setup. We point by this review to show that the impact of emanating structure stacked by annular rings for the fixed size decrease as well as the benefit of this construction is to make a roundabout polarization toward maximal radiation design. The wave idea iterative method is utilized to examine this new radio wire. Utilizing the proposed technique, less figuring time and memory are expected to work out the electromagnetic boundaries of our plan. The approval of the consequences of our created model was checked with realized business programming called “CST Microwave Studio Software” trailed by a trial test. As per the arrived results, we can decide that our new plan radio wire is reasonable for RFID applications in the 2.45 GHz band.
The Chemistry of Benzo and Carbocyclic Derivatives of Pyridine
Authors: D. Adesina Adebimpe
Published: December 2022

The chemistry of pyridine and its derivatives is of considerable importance in the synthesis of intermediates leading to biologically active compounds and novel materials. Generally, derivatives of pyridine are stable and relatively unreactive but can be attacked by electrophiles at ring nitrogen and certain carbon atoms. Pyridines undergo radical substitution reactions preferentially at the 2-position. Simple pyridines and their benzo derivatives are weak bases that form salts with strong acids. Various Lewis acids form complexes with pyridine and its benzo derivatives. The quaternization of pyridine and its benzo derivatives using alkyl and acyl halides have been used as versatile synthetic intermediates to biologically active compounds as final products. Precursors to cyanine dyes have been prepared by means of the 1,4-addition of pyridines and quinolines to acrylamide. N-oxides, obtained by the oxidation of pyridine and its benzo analogues, are versatile intermediates in organic synthesis.

The methodological process is divided into six stages; in the first stage called planning, through bibliographic and audio-visual documentary analysis, four probable futures are established and studied by articulating timelines using retrospective and prospective data; in the second stage called anticipation, the most relevant historical milestones are identified to outline these futures; in the third stage, called temporisation, the formal patterns are studied through the redesign of the facades of the selected case studies; in the fourth stage, called deepening, the possible causes of futures that could develop are studied in depth and verified; in the fifth stage, the scenarios with the greatest plausibility and scientific evidence are presented; and in the sixth stage, the prospective scenarios are proposed to the experts to be validated by consensus. The results obtained with this research are a set of prospective scenarios of the morphological evolution of single-family dwellings and their formal design strategies.
Aflatoxins in the Era of Climate Change: The Mediterranean Experience
Authors: Daou Rouaa , Claude Assaf Jean , El Khoury André
Published: December 2022

Aspergilluss sp. is a fungi that attack crops on the field or during storage. Generally, those fungi are most frequent in tropical and subtropical regions where environmental factors characterized by high humidity and temperatures are favorable for their production. Aflatoxins are produced as their secondary metabolites including aflatoxin B1. Aflatoxins have been classified as carcinogenic to human by the International Agency for Research on Cancer due to their profound health effects, mainly, hepatocarcinogenicity. Hence, they contaminate a large share of the global food chain. Traditionally, aflatoxin contamination was not frequent in temperate regions such as the Mediterranean, however, with climate change patterns including elevated temperatures, increased humidity, and increased droughts, a shift in fungal attack patterns is expected in such areas in a way that favors Aspergillus sp. infestation and aflatoxin contamination. Therefore, with increased global warming more aflatoxin contamination is expected in the Mediterranean basin, specifically, the Sothern European countries.
Volcano Geology Applications to Ancient Volcanism-Influenced Terrains: Paleovolcanism
Authors: Martí Joan
Published: December 2022

This chapter discusses how to apply the most significant aspects and concepts of modern volcanology to the study the ancient volcanic terrains, where volcanic successions appear exposed in discontinuous outcrops, with various degrees of deformation, which are often manifested in the presence of metamorphosed and hydrothermally altered volcanic rock assemblages. The way to understand paleovolcanism is through the identification and interpretation of the products of past volcanic activity in terms that is equivalent to what is done in modern terrains, despite the difficulty of having to characterize and recompose all those subsequent geological processes that have been superimposed upon them. This chapter summarizes the most fundamental aspects of the study of ancient volcanic terrains, paying special attention to the definition of facies associations, the characterization of their spatial and genetic relationships, and their paleoenvironmental and paleogeographic significance, as well as to the possible causes of the original facies modification. The implications for the presence of volcanism in the dynamics of sedimentary basins and its relationship with different geodynamic environments are also analyzed.
An Adaptive Task Scheduling in Fog Computing

Published: December 2022

Internet applications generate massive amount of data. For processing the data, it is transmitted to cloud. Time-sensitive applications require faster access. However, the limitation with the cloud is the connectivity with the end devices. Fog was developed by Cisco to overcome this limitation. Fog has better connectivity with the end devices, with some limitations. Fog works as intermediate layer between the end devices and the cloud. When providing the quality of service to end users, scheduling plays an important role. Scheduling a task based on the end users requirement is a tedious thing. In this paper, we proposed a cloud-fog task scheduling model, which provides quality of service to end devices with proper security.

Because of the versatile chemical, physical, and electrical properties, graphene as well as its nanocomposites are regarded as the backbone of engineering and scientific innovation. Different physical and chemical methods are used to create sustainable carbon materials. Furthermore, fabrication methods are employed in order to produce the composites, which are of constituents with desirable properties. Because of their biocompatibility, graphene nanomaterials have enormous potential for improving biology and drug delivery. The proposed chapter provides a variety of fabrication methods for sustainable graphene composites and highlights various applications of graphene. Furthermore, graphene nanocomposites are promising multifunctional materials with improved tensile strength and elastic modulus. Despite some challenges and the fact that carbon nanotube/polymer composites are sometimes better in some specific performance, graphene nanocomposites may have a wide range of potential applications due to their outstanding properties and the low cost of graphene. Because these graphene composites have a controllable porous structure, a large surface area, high conductivity, high temperature stability, excellent anti-corrosion properties, and composite compatibility, they can be used in energy storage as electrocatalysts, electro-conductive additives, intercalation hosts, and an ideal substrate for active materials. Meanwhile, the chapter summaries the graphene nanocomposites requirements for technological innovation and scientific applied research.

Abstract. This study aim is to find out how customers feel about the atmosphere and quality of service at Sociostyle Stores. A descriptive quantitative method was used in this study. In this study, the study population was made up of people who shopped at the Temanggung Sociostyle Shop. The exact number of people who shopped there was not known because the number of people who shopped there was always growing. Because of this, the sampling strategy is based on the Lemeshow formula. Based on the numbers, the number of people in the sample is 100. For their research, the researchers used a questionnaire with a Likert scale and direct observation. After the data were collected, the instrument's validity and reliability were checked. After the instrument has been found to be valid and trustworthy, descriptive statistical analysis can continue so that the research questions can be answered. The results showed that all of the store atmosphere and service quality variables were in the very high category because their mean values were between 3.24 and 4.00.
Landscapes of architectural education -architecture, knowledge and existential wisdom (2/2)
Authors: Pallasmaa Juhani

The very essence of learning also in any creative field is embedded more in the student’s sense of self and his/ her image of the world than in information and facts. The promoters of a professionalist education seem to entirely dismiss this essential mental and existential perspective. This area of learning can appropriately be called personal growth. Education and learning in any creative field has to aim at the student’s individual and unique self, and the content of education is bound to be more existential than factual, related more with experiences and values than information.
