Authors: Sham Shaharuddin Mohd , Yusof Muhammad Azri Mat
Published: June 2021

Nitrate is one of the compounds of nitrogen found in the nitrogen cycle that is which originates from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Most rural areas in Kelantan state still depend on well water as their primary water source. Their main economic activity is agriculture which uses high amountsof nitrate fertilizer to nurture their crops. The increased use of nitrate fertilizers has a possible risk factor associated to health problems such as methemoglobinemia and cancers. Health risk assessment can be conducted to quantify the probability of harmful effects of nitrate to individuals or populations from certain human activities. To determine levels of nitrate in groundwater and to perform health risk assessment among respondents in Keting village, Bachok district, Kelantan state. A total of 47 respondents were chosen for this study and groundwater samples in duplicates were collected from the respondents’ houses. The samples werethen analyzed by using a portable Hanna Instrument multimeter model HI98191 and probe model HI4113. while a set of questionnaireswereusedto collect information for health risk assessment of the exposure. Nitrate levels in groundwater did not exceed the maximum concentration value of Drinking Water Quality Standard (44.3 ppm nitrate – NO3) with a mean ± sd of 5.34 ± 4.94 (ppm). Spearman’s rho correlation analysis shows that only depth of well (meter) is correlated (r = - 0.348) to nitrate levels (p0.05). The Hazard Quotient (HQ)for the study population was less than 1. In terms of nitrate, the groundwater analyzed in the study area was considered safe for drinking and cooking purposes. The result for HQ indicated that the non-carcinogenic risk related to nitrate was not significant to the study population. However, nitrate levels in drinking water should be concerned by the consumers as it will give bad health impact to them in long-term exposures.

„РАВНОЗНАМЕНОВАТЕЛНИТЕ РEЧИ“ IN NAYDEN GEROV’S DICTIONARY
Authors: Georgieva Tsvetelina
Published: June 2021

N. Gerov’s dictionary impresses with an abundance of different names for the same concept collected from the living vernacular. The accumulation of these so-called „равнознаменаменователни речи“ (e.g. 67 words for [SNAIL] in the entry for рóглë, 30 for [CORN] in кукурýз, etc.) reveals the author’s design. At a time when no literary language had yet been created, N. Gerov presented this variety of names with the intention for them to serve as “equally” legitimate building material for the creation of the modern Bulgarian literary language. The author argues that these names are heteronyms (not synonyms) as they belong to different dialect systems.
Keywords: dictionary, dialects, heteronyms, modern Bulgarian literary language

Authors: Ribeiro da Silva Bianca , Albergaria Estrela Maria Amélia
Published: June 2021

A hipertensão arterial ou pressão alta como é popularmente conhecida, é uma doença crônica que afeta o aparelho circulatório que se caracteriza por valores de pressão arterial igual ou maior que 140/90 mmHg. O primeiro fármaco desenvolvido para tratar a hipertensão arterial foi o captopril. A prática de partição de comprimidos é comumente utilizada por profissionais de saúde, principalmente no tratamento de idosos e crianças. Dentre as desvantagens observadas nessa prática, a que mais causa preocupação é a de imprecisão na dosagem. O objetivo do estudo foi verificar se o teor de princípio ativo em comprimidos partidos de captopril 50 mg é uniforme nas metades obtidas. A quantidade de captopril foi determinada utilizando-se o método de titulação direta com iodo, descrito na Farmacopeia Brasileira. Os resultados demonstraram que, das quatro amostras analisadas, apenas uma apresentou diferença significativa entre as metades. Já nas análises feitas com comprimidos inteiros, os resultados mostraram que todas as amostras apresentaram teor de princípio ativo acima do limite máximo permitido pela agência reguladora.

This study characterizes the tourist who performs Mountain Bike (BTT) activities and walks in Levadas (G1) and Veredas (G2) in Madeira Natural Park. Through a survey, we collected 449 surveys from participants from 21 different nationalities. The sample was characterized (mean, standard deviation and percentage), the association between variables was tested (Chi-Square) and the differences between groups (Anova to one factor) according to the practiced activity (Post Hoc, Bonferrioni). G1 (41.5 ± 16.1 years) and G2 (42.9 ± 16.1 years) present a higher average age than BTT (36.73 ± 9.0 years); more women participated in G2 (58%) and G1 (56.8%) activities and more men in BTT (92.2%); the sample is mostly composed by foreign tourists (G1-73.4%; G2-82.3% and BTT-96.1%). In general, the sample is mostly active (between 67.5% to 89.5%), with higher education (54.1%) and performs regular physical activity (86.4%). 80.6% performs at least thirty minutes of daily physical activity. BTT practitioners are more involved in organized physical activity (98%), presenting a lower risk factor (3.9%) (USDHHS, 2018) and higher values of weekly physical activity (8.6 ± 4.9 hours), compared to G1 and G2. These data will allow address the offer to specific groups of tourists and to develop safety standards. It is necessary to deepen the study, expanding the sample and the number of routes in Levadas, paths and BTT.

Published: June 2021

The objective of this study was, in a first step, to translate and adapt the “Método de Información De Excursiones (MIDE)”, and in a second step, to verify the reliability and consistency of the instruments for the aspects of Hiking and Mountain Bike (MB). The semantic translation and analysis of the “MIDE” was carried out into the Portuguese language, having also adjusted the construct of the questions and the necessary adaptation to the Portuguese reality (Practical Validity and Construction Validity). Then, an expert meeting was held, in order to validate the adequacy and clarity of the specific content of the modalities (Content Validity and Apparent Validity). After this step, the instruments were tested in real conditions, by male MB specialists (n = 3), with an average age of 50.33 ± 11.24 years and an experience level of 4.33 ± 0.57, in a male and Hiking specialist (n = 5), aged average of 36.20 ± 12.07 years and with an experience level of 4.60 ± 0.54 on a Likert scale (1 to 5), carrying out a small exploratory study, in the “field”. The field of application was in the “Carso Route (West)”, composed of eight (8) Hiking Trails and two (2) of MB. The data were collected and analyzed in order to obtain the final version of the instrument, for Hiking and MB. Thus, it seems reasonable to say that this instrument can be used, with confidence, in the characterization of Hiking and MB Trails, constituting itself as an important tool to support the monitors and practitioners of these activities.
Atividades Físicas e Desportivas em Estudantes Universitários com Deficiência: Perspectiva dos Gestores da Universidade de Coimbra
Authors: Barreto Ricardo , Rosado António , Martins Raul
Published: June 2021

This paper aims to identify barriers and facilitators of participation in physical and sports activities (AFD) by students with disabilities of the Coimbra University (UC), describing the perspective of the various sports management bodies of UC and the Coimbra Academic Association of (AAC). The perspective of the UC and AAC leaders was analysed.
A qualitative methodology was used, based on semi-structured interviews and using Thematic Analysis as the methodological approach.
The managers consider that the UC intends to promote the development of this area and has facilities and equipment appropriate to the existence of these AFD, although the offer is incipient. The main barriers to the development of adapted sport are linked to management processes, namely the offer / demand relationship, student registration and the existence of qualified instructors.
It can be concluded that there is currently no systematic offer of any specific activity for these students, with some occasional activities offered within the scope of the Faculty of Sport Sciences and Physical Education. This does not hide the lack of a more general University strategy, which would be desirable given the recognized importance and vision of the University on this subject.

Titanium dioxide TiO2 nanorods were successfully grown on conductive glass FTO substrate using the hydrothermal method at a temperature of 160 oC. Surface topography, structure, and optical characteristics were studied according to the influence of annealing temperature (450, 550, and 650) oC. The surface topography results reveal that the TiO2 had nanorods structure with a tetragonal shape, and the rod diameter increases from 84.2 nm to 116.6 nm with increasing the annealing temperature. The crystal structure of the grown TiO2 NRs exhibits a high crystallinity of polycrystalline nature with anatase and rutile phases. The preferential orientation was along (204) plane for anatase tetragonal structure. AFM image shows an intense edge, uniform surface morphology, and increased grain diameter with annealing temperature. The optical properties of TiO2 NRs were investigated, and the absorption edge shows a blue shifting as the annealing temperature increases when considering the crystallinity and morphology changes. The energy band gap was found to be lower than 3 eV, which can be attributed to the presence of anatase and rutile phases with an increment range from 2.72 to 2.86 nm alongside the increase in the annealing temperature. The results indicate that the adopted hydrothermal method and the synthesized TiO2 NRs were suitable for photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications.

In this study, a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) nanobiosensor was designed to quantify anti-Brucella antibodies in the human sera. Smooth Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was extracted from Brucella melitensis via a modified hot phenol water method and fixed on the surface of the gold nanoparticles by covalent interactions with the functionalized nanoparticles. To obtain the best performance from the designed probe, the ratio of LPS to gold nanoparticle was optimized. Dynamic light scattering was used for the characterization of the probe. The reduction of the LSPR peak at 600nm was used to quantify the amount of captured anti-Brucella antibody. Finally, satisfactory results were obtained when the nanobiosensor was used to analyze the control and patient sera for the presence of anti-Brucella antibodies.

This study attempts to find out the curative effects of Allium siculum (A. siculum) on ethylene glycol (EG) induced kidney stone in male albino rats. Throughout this study, twenty-two male albino rats were taken and divided into four experimental groups. Group A is a control group, while the rest of the groups, namely group B, C, and D animals, received 1% EG in water for 14 days, then from day 15 to day 28, the treatment of EG stopped and group C and D animals from day 15 to day 28 received A. siculum (5g of dried powder in 100 ml water and 950 g standard diet) and cystone (2.5 tablets in water and standard diet) respectively. Serum uric acid, creatinine, urea, lipid profile measurements, and glucose were evaluated besides the kidneys' weight and body weight gain. Allium siculum and cystone treatments indicated a significant reduction in serum uric acid, creatinine, urea, glucose, very low-density lipoprotein, and triglyceride compared to EG-treated rats. The kidneys' weight and body weight gains significantly increased in group B compared with A, C, and D. In conclusion: A. siculum has curative effects on ethylene glycol induced kidney stone which resembled the cystone drug.

Sensitivity Analysis of the most advanced four compartmental mathematical model explaining solute kinetic in the hemodialysis patients was performed on the basis of the data collected from six patients with different Body Mass Indices (BMIs). The toxin concentration in all compartments increases with the decrease in the BMIs of the patients. The clearance rate, kclear, and the volume of extracellular compartment, VE, are the most sensitive while the volume of the muscle tissue compartment, VMT, and the clearance rate, kMT, are the least sensitive parameters during dialytic interval. The production rate, G, and the volume of the extracellular compartment, VE, are the most sensitive while kclear and kE, AT are the least sensitive parameters of all parameters during the interdialytic interval.

An efficient micropropagation protocol facilitates successful conservation and improvement of Nanorrhinum ramosissimum (Wall.) Betsche by biotechnological means. Shoot tip explants exhibited optimal organogenic response when inoculated on half-strength(1/2) Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with kinetin (KN) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) (0.5 mg/L each). Shoot organogenesis was further enhanced when the multiplication medium was fortified with dextrose (1%) (2.6 shoots/explant; 7.9 cm shoot length). The regenerated shoots formed roots; however, the best rooting frequency (87%) was achieved on half-strength MS medium containing only IAA (0.5 mg/L). Four-week-old in vitro plantlets were acclimatized with 95% survival under greenhouse conditions. The regeneration protocol developed in this study can be utilized for germplasm conservation of this elite traditional medicinal plant.

Capsella bursa-pastoris has been analyzed for nutritional composition, antioxidant and cytotoxic potential to reveal its nutraceutical and medicinal importance. Methanol and chloroform extracts were used for preliminary phytochemical analysis following quantification of total phenolic, flavonoid, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids. Antioxidant activity was determined by using DPPH, phosphomolybdate, and reducing power assays. Proximate and elemental analysis was performed by using standard methods. Brine shrimp larvae assay was used to determine the cytotoxicity of chloroform and methanol extract. Chloroform and methanol extract of the plant indicated the presence of 1.56×10-4 mg g-1 and 1.28×10-4 mg g-1 phenolic, respectively. The plant was found to have high carbohydrate and protein contents. The high-level mineral composition was determined containing Potassium, Sodium, Iron, Zinc, and Copper. Results of antioxidant activity by the DPPH method indicated IC50 of 235.37 μg ml-1 and 552.01 μg ml-1 for chloroform and methanol extract, respectively. Brine shrimp larvae assay was used to determine the cytotoxicity resulting LD50 of 246.4469 μg ml-1 and 169.85 μg ml-1 of methanol and chloroform extract, respectively. The study inferred that C. bursa-pastoris could serve as a good source of protein and energy as well as micronutrients in the form of a leafy vegetable for human consumption.

The mobile device has become an essential utility tool for more effective computation, storage, and power, making it suitable for mobile cloud computing. The cloudlet is used as a connectivity establishment link between the mobile device and the cloud. The objective of this paper is to focus on mobile cloud computing facilitated with cloudlet-based computation. The latter possesses inter-cloudlet communication, which had been proposed within the mobile cloudletbased computing environment framework. The same had been further enhanced to scalable critical parameter yield of resources framework. Nevertheless, this was not taken to the criteria, which would impact the yield factor, in terms of availability. The present research endeavor aims to improve the algorithm by considering some more criterion and provides a new mobile cloud computing framework for data execution as a service using cloudlet. The outcome shows a positive result in the cloud- cloudlet based computation.

Anemopaegma kawense (Bignoniaceae), a new species from the Kaw Mountain (French Guiana), with notes on related species and a key to the genus in the Guianas
Authors: Lachenaud Olivier , Firetti Fabiana , Lohmann Lúcia G.
Published: June 2021

Background and aims – The genus Anemopaegma (Bignoniaceae) includes around 47 species and has its centre of diversity in Brazil. Here, we describe and illustrate a new species from French Guiana, Anemopaegma kawense, and compare it to the two most similar species, A. foetidum and A. granvillei. We further assess the conservation status of all three species.Material and methods – Morphological descriptions are based on herbarium specimens deposited at BM, BR, CAY, INPA, K, MO, P, SPF, and U, and, in the case of the newly described species, also on field observations. The conservation status assessments follow the IUCN Red List criteria.Key results – Anemopaegma kawense differs from both A. foetidum and A. granvillei by its densely villose twigs, longitudinally plicate leaflets with secondary veins not or hardly prominent below, and tertiary veins impressed below. It is further separated from A. foetidum by the leaflets that are villose below and the calyx that is entirely pubescent outside. On the other hand, A. kawense differs from A. granvillei by the densely lepidote outer surface of the corolla, shorter petiolules, leaflets with midrib impressed above, shorter bracts and bracteoles, inflorescence peduncle exceeding the rachis, and pedicels densely puberulous, not lepidote or only sparsely so at the apex. This species is endemic to the Kaw Mountain in north-eastern French Guiana, where it grows in low stunted forest on laterite; it is assessed as Endangered according to the IUCN criteria. New descriptions are provided for A. granvillei, which is newly reported from Suriname, and for A. foetidum, which is newly reported from French Guiana; these two species are assessed as Endangered and Least Concern, respectively. Lectotypes are designated for A. maguirei, which is here synonymised with A. foetidum, and for A. umbellatum, another synonym of that species. A key to the 12 species of Anemopaegma occurring in the Guianas is presented.
The devil is in the detail
Authors: de Jong Irene

The passage about Cambyses’ murder of his sister who is also his wife (Histories 3.32.2) is used by way of example to discuss the possibilities and problems of a narratological commentary on the Histories. Particular attention is paid to the – often neglected – question of how to deal with the tension between the linearity of the text (which means that narratees may only hear about things at a later moment) and the duty of the commentator to inform her narratees at an early point.

Although his canvas is gigantic, Herodotus is essentially a miniaturist. It is at the level of the paragraph, the sentence or even in the choice of a single word that his subtlety is most apparent.

Wie goed doet, goed ontmoet?

The story of Philemon and Baucis (Metamorphoses 8.626-724) is remarkable, as humans are rewarded for their behaviour rather than punished, as is usually the case in Ovid’s epic world. An important question is therefore how we as readers should interpret this atypical story. In order to answer this question I will first analyze the story as a theoxeny. Next, I explore the narratological embedding of this story. The secondary narrator Lelex tells this story in order to prove the infinite power of the gods. He also implicitly argues that the gods show benevolence towards pious human beings. I argue that these specific goals of the narrator influence the story and how we should read it. Next, I review Ovid’s Greek literary models for this theoxeny, focusing on examples from Homer’s Odyssey and Callimachus’ Hecale. Finally, I compare the story of Philemon and Baucis with other stories in the Metamorphoses and Fasti in which gods visit human beings. This comparison shows that the story of Philemon and Baucis is also in that respect unusual.
Taalopdrachten ontwerpen bij een pensum (CE Ovidius 2019)

In the upper grades of Dutch secondary schools pupils who take Greek or Latin are required to read, translate and interpret authentic texts in the original language. As the phase of language acquisition is not completed at this stage, pupils still need to practice the recognition and interpretation of linguistic elements. In addition, they need assignments that invite them to reflect on the use and meaning of specific linguistic elements used in the texts. However, language exercises are not included in commonly used text books. In this article, I propose a way in which teachers can design exercises that meet these goals. I illustrate the design steps by means of one example concerning congruency and stylistics, and a second example concerning verb forms and (non)factuality.
Opbouw en vernietiging

In the Aeneid, the recurrent themes of ‘construction’ and ‘destruction’ (the topic of the Latin final exam of 2020) can be connected to generic roles. Dido, founder of Carthage, is presented progressively in elegiac terms, as is suggested by a number of echoes of Sapphic love poetry; as a character, she is guided primarily by personal motives. Dido’s ‘elegiac role’ forebodes her own destruction and that of her city. Aeneas, on the other hand, needs to adhere to his epic role as founder of the new Trojan/Roman nation, in order to avert destruction and the repetition of Troy’s fate. When during his stay in Carthage he starts to show signs of transforming into an elegiac lover, the gods intervene and put him back onto the epic track: the public interest should take precedence over personal feelings. This opposition between elegiac Dido and epic Aeneas may grant insight into Vergil’s message for his contemporaries.
Tacitus en het toneel van Nero
Authors: Selles Ramon
Published: June 2021

On the basis of a broad perspective on theatricality and tragedy in imperial Rome this article argues that theatrical and tragic elements play an important role in the episode on the death of Nero’s mother Agrippina in Tacitus’ Annals 14.1-10. These elements fall into three categories: 1) theatricality, 2) generic, tragic elements and 3) allusions to specific tragic texts. These evocations of the (tragic) stage serve to underscore Tacitus’ characterization of the reign of Nero and of imperial Roman society in general as fundamentally artificial. Tacitus’ use of tragic material does not reflect an Aristotelian, tragic vision of history, but rather stresses the theatricality of the historical events, drawing upon a cultural memory of Nero and Agrippina as the creators of, and actors in, their own farcical world. At the same time the episode is presented by Tacitus as the paradigmatic starting point of Nero’s engagement in various forms of spectacle entertainment (Annales, 14.11-22). In Tacitus’ presentation of the aftermath of the murder theatricality and spectacle represent a moral decline characterized by lascivia and licentia, reflecting Tacitus’ moral concerns.
Op weg naar vrijheid en burgerschap

In Rome, Ostia, and other cities of Italy in the imperial period the over-whelming majority of the grave monuments were set up by freed people. Since this predominance does not reflect demographic realities, we may infer that freedmen and freedwomen had strong incentives to set up funerary monuments. This article looks at their tombs from the perspective of freedwomen. How were they portrayed in the reliefs and inscriptions on their tombs? It will be argued that while most presented themselves according to the ideals of the Roman matrona, the respectably married citizen woman, some emphasized their profession as part of their social identity or were portrayed in the guise of female deities following the example of the empresses. Thus, the portraits and epitaphs of freedwomen show a greater diversity than those of freeborn women.
