PRODUÇÃO CONTRADITÓRIA DO ESPAÇO URBANO: considerações sobre o loteamento Santa Cruz em Vitória da Conquista/BA
Authors: Ferreira Santos Mariluce
Published: December 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar que a cidade ilegal surge porque espaço urbano tornou-se mercadoria. Uma mercadoria inacessível para uma expressiva parcela da população, porque a riqueza tem sido apropriada de maneira desigual.  A cidade é o lugar que reúne as condições essenciais, para concretização das relações capitalistas. Para esse modo hegemônico de produção morar na cidade é sinal de modernidade. O espaço urbano não está preparado para atender de maneira satisfatória a demanda de moradia porque a cidade tem sido pensada para servir aos desígnios do capital. O Estado trabalha para legitimar o ordenamento da espacialidade urbana, todavia ele não é neutro, visa beneficiar a classe dominante detentora dos meios de produção. O objeto de estudo para elaboração dessa pesquisa é o Loteamento Santa Cruz localizado no bairro Bateias em Vitoria da Conquista no estado da Bahia. Originou-se por meio de um processo de ocupação numa espacialidade de nascente de rio. A ocupação é uma das formas de reprodução dos agentes sociais os Excluídos. A localidade a qual se encontra o loteamento é avaliada como imprópria para construção de moradia. É uma área de preservação ambiental denominada como Parque Municipal Lagoa das Bateias. Instalando assim um conflito socioambiental na localidade.
Collective personality of top listed firms in Australia and its impact on financial and market performance
Authors: Chandrakumara Anil , Wickramasuriya Rohan , McCarthy Grace
Published: December 2020

This paper examines three research problems. First, what collective personality traits are reflected in CEOs’ statements in firms’ annual reports? Second, is there any impact of collective personality on financial (ROE – return on equity) and market (TQ – Tobin’s Q) performance? Third, whether attributes of CEOs or collective personality makes a greater impact on firm performance? Using the machine learning approach employed by IBM’s Personality Insights service, we performed a content analysis of 804 CEO’s annual report statements in 402 firms to estimate collective personality scores and adopted hierarchical multiple regression analysis to examine the intended relationships. The study found that collective conscientiousness and agreeableness impact positively on ROE and TQ and collective openness and neuroticism impact negatively on either or both ROE and TQ. Further, the collective personality tends to show a greater impact on ROE and firm size by assets than the impact of CEOs attributes. Besides exploring a relatively less-researched concept, the study highlights the practical value of developing intellectual and human capital through governance practices and leadership towards enhancing firm performance.
Modified NRCS Abstraction Method for Flood Hydrograph Generation
Authors: Almedeij Jaber
Published: December 2020

The NRCS abstraction method is based on two assumptions. The first is
that the ratio of actual water retention after ponding to maximum
potential retention after ponding is equal to the ratio of actual
surface runoff to potential surface runoff. The second assumption is
that the initial abstraction for the watershed is twenty percent of the
maximum potential retention. This study shows that both assumptions
violate continuity principles and proposes a modification that renders
an elementary relationship accounting for all abstraction forms by
dividing them into a variable and constant components. Consequently, the
surface runoff computation becomes dependent on the soil initial
moisture content and implicitly influenced by the initial abstraction,
while retaining the advantage of the subjective selection of curve
number from extensive database from which the NRCS method has gained
popularity. A new time of concentration model is also proposed to extend
the computation for flood hydrograph generation.
A framework to quantify riverine dissolved inorganic nitrogen exports under changing land use pattern and hydrologic regime
Authors: Zhang Zhenyu , Huang Jr-Chuan , Huang Jinliang
Published: December 2020

Riverine dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), when elevated by human
activities (e.g., land-use change), can accelerate the nitrogen cycle
and downstream dispersal. However, estimating DIN export coefficients
for individual land-use types can be complex due to mosaic land-use
patterns and interactions between fertilizers and hydrological
processes. We propose a framework that integrates an empirical model, a
moving-window method with an elasticity method to quantify seasonal DIN
export coefficients for each land use in the Shixi Creek catchment,
southeast China. Our model showed good agreement with field observations
according to root mean square error and a normalized objective function.
The DIN export coefficients of farmland and forest were the highest
(9.16 mg/L) and lowest (2.91 mg/L), respectively, resulting in DIN
exports for farmland and forest of 1,951 kg km-2 yr-1 and 619 kg km-2
yr-1, respectively. Urbanization was a dominant factor influencing DIN
export represented by the export coefficient of built-up areas with the
highest elasticity and highest uncertainty. This study can shed light on
how to improve riverine N management in a catchment by considering the
interactive effects of climate and land use changes.

Adjuvant low-dose ketamine for pediatric sickle cell vaso-occlusive episodes in the emergency department
Authors: Cooper-Sood J. Bryan , Hagar Ward , Marsh Anne , Hoppe Carolyn , Agrawal Anurag
Published: December 2020

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) vaso-occlusive episodes (VOEs) are
managed primarily with opioids that can lead to dependence and
tachyphylaxis. Ketamine mitigates opioid tolerance and appears
efficacious for all-cause pain in the adult emergency department (ED).
We hypothesized that ED treatment with low-dose adjuvant ketamine (LDK)
for acute VOE is safe and decreases opioid usage in children and young
adults with SCD. Procedure: In this exploratory study, patients with SCD
aged 10-25 years presenting to UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland
ED with VOE were eligible for a single 0.2 mg/kg IV dose of LDK, after
receipt of the first IV opioid dose. Safety, tolerability, and
subjective experience were assessed prospectively. Pain scores, length
of stay, likelihood of discharge from the ED, time to 50% pain
reduction, and morphine equivalent usage (mg/kg/h) for the intervention
visits were compared to the patient’s historical data within the year
prior. Results: No serious treatment emergent adverse events occurred in
the 62 enrolled patient-encounters in 25 individual patients. LDK
decreased morphine equivalent usage by 0.06 mg/kg/h (15%; 95% CI
[2.3%, 28%], p=0.004), but did not affect pain scores on
discharge, time to or likelihood of 50% pain reduction, or likelihood
of discharge. Subjectively, when assessed in their first LDK encounter,
the majority of patients reported faster pain relief (60%) and desired
LDK in the future (68%). Conclusions: LDK for SCD VOE in the pediatric
ED is safe, subjectively improves the experience of pain, and decreases
opioid usage. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.
The Gender Dimension of Sustainable Consumption and Production: A Microsurvey-Based Analysis of Gender Differences in Awareness, Attitudes, and Behaviors in the People’s Republic of China
Authors: Fan Li , Mendizabal Joffre Veronica
Published: December 2020

Using microsurveys conducted in the People’s Republic of China over the past 2 decades, this paper explores the individual preferences among men and women toward sustainable consumption and production—the concept of doing more with less and decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation. The study finds that women exhibit greener living and working habits than men. However, women—regardless of education, rural–urban setting, or age—are impacted by time poverty, low political participation, limited awareness, gender norms, and, for younger and older women, financial limitations. To encourage and increase women’s capacity in shaping environmental solutions, economic and political gender gaps must be addressed and awareness on the impact of consumption needs to be strengthened.
Intrusion prevention with attack traceback and software-defined control plane for campus networks
Authors: Guo Guangfeng , Zhang Junxing , Ma Zhanfei
Published: December 2020

As traditional networks, the software-defined campus network also suffers from intrusion attacks. Current solutions for intrusion prevention cannot meet the requirements of the campus network. Existing methods of attack traceback are either limited to specific protocols or incur high overhead. To protect the data center (DC) of the campus network from internal and external attacks, we propose an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) based on the coordinated control between the detection engine, the attack traceback agent, and the software-defined control plane. Our solution includes a novel algorithm to infer the best switch port for defending different attacks of varied scales based on the inverse HSA (Header Space Analysis) and the global view of the software-defined controller. The proposed scheme can effectively and timely block the malicious traffic not only protecting victim hosts from attacks but also preventing the whole network from suffering unwanted transmission burden. The proposed IPS is deployed on the bypass of the DC switch and collects network traffic by port mirroring. Compared with the traditional serial deployment, the new design helps defend the DC internal attacks, reduce the probability of network congestion, and avoid the single point of failure. The experimental results show that the overhead of our IPS is very low, which enables it to meet the real-time requirements. The average defense time is between 10 and 14 ms for the data center internal attacks of different scales. For external attacks, the maximum defense time is about 76 ms for a large-scale network with 100 switches.

Published: December 2020

Two new heather (Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull.) sites, located in Djerdap
National park, on plagioclastic gneiss and podsolised dystric brown soil are
described in this paper. Heather is the dominant species in the plant
community with beech on these sites (Calluno-Fagetum moesiacae Cvj. 2003).
This community is floristically poor and edaphically conditioned. Beech
(Fagus sylvatica. subsp. moesiaca (Maly) Czeczott) is the only species in
the tree layer, while heather dominates in the ground layer. According to
the spectrum of areal types, mesic plant species of middleeuropean
distribution type are dominant, with a significant share of plants of the
xerothermous submediterranean distribution type. According to the biological
spectrum, hemicryptophytes dominate in this community with a significant
share of chamaephytes, which indicates deteriorated site conditions.
According to the moisture requirements, the community is xeromesophillous,
acidophillous according to soil reaction, according to the nitrogen content
in soil it is highly oligotrophic, according to the light it is
semi-tolerant, and according to the warmth requirement the community is
mesothermic. The community of beech and heather represents a degradation
stage of beech forests.

Published: December 2020

The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of low heating
temperatures with two different retention times to optimize the process for
obtaining nanosized hydroxyapatite material that can possibly be used in the
fields of biology and pharmacy. Nanosized hydroxyapatite was successfully
obtained by wet chemical precipitation. The annealing of the material
performed at 300 oC with two different retention times i.e. 3 and 6 hours in
air atmosphere. Low annealing temperature with extended retention time was
selected in terms to reduce energy consumption. FTIR spectroscopy was used
to confirm characteristic vibrational bands of hydroxyapatite samples, and
presence of carbonate bands of hydroxyapatite annealed for 3h and 6h. X-Ray
powder diffraction analysis were used to examine phase composition,
determine the size of unit cells and crystallite sizes, and SEM-EDS methods
were used to obtain particle size and arrangement also grain growth
morphology and confirmed the presence of calcium, phosphorous oxygen and
carbonate peaks. The results show that different retention time has
influence on particle growth as well as unit cell parameters and crystallite
sizes changes of hydroxyapatite material
Thermodynamic aspect of sodium carbonate mechanical transformations under different environment
Authors: Djordjevic Natasa , Mihajlovic Slavica , Pataric Aleksandra
Published: December 2020

During mechanical activation, the energy of treated material is raised to a
higher level that can lead to the chemical transformation of the activated
material. This is the point that should be considered as a phenomenon of the
mechanochemical transformations appearing as a result of mechanical
activation. Sodium carbonate as a substance that is often subjected to
mechanochemical synthesis was mechanically activated in this study. The
subject was the monitoring of changes in the physico-chemical
characteristics of sodium carbonate after exposure to different degrees of
activation time within the range of 1-28 minutes. After activation, the
samples were deposited in three environments, CO2, air, and vacuum, at room
temperature, in a period of 64 days. The mass changes occurring during the
treatment were measured depending on the processing environment. Increasing
the mass was evident and was attributed to the chemisorption of moisture and
carbon dioxide present in the air as a consequence of the sodium carbonate
activation. The methods also used were calcimetric chemical analysis and
X-ray structural analysis. According to obtained results, it was found that
activated sodium carbonate is mass-transformed into sodium bicarbonate,
whereby these changes are functionally dependent on activation time and the
processing environment.

This work is the first report of a very simple and fast one-pot synthesis of
nickel oxide (NiO) and hematite (?-Fe2O3) nanoparticles by thermal
decomposition of transition metal aqua complexes with camphor sulfonate
anions. Obtained nanopowders were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction,
Fourier transform IR analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and
Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. X-ray powder diffraction confirmed the
formation of high purity NiO and ?-Fe2O3 crystal phases. In the case of
?-Fe2O3, about five times larger average crystallite size was obtained.
Fourier transform IR spectra of synthesized materials showed characteristic
peaks for NiO and ?-Fe2O3 nanostructures. To visualize the morphology and
the chemical composition of the final products Scanning electron microscopy
and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were performed. The
thermogravimetric analysis was done for a better understanding of the
general thermal behavior of precursor compounds. This easy-to-perform and
fast preparation method opens a broad range of obtained materials? usage,
particularly due to its economic viability
Anthropomorphic amulets from Viminacium
Authors: Milovanovic Bebina , Dankovic Ilija
Published: December 2020

The paper focuses on a group of five anthropomorphic pendants, deposited in
graves of sub-adult and female individuals, discovered in cemeteries of
ancient Viminacium (Serbia). The selection of raw materials (jet and amber),
as well as other parts of the necklaces these pendants were incorporated in,
suggest their apotropaic character. Various data sources have been employed
in order to answer questions regarding the identification of the depicted
beings, reasons for their usage by certain population groups, etc. A
comparison has been made with analogous specimens from across the Roman
world, which are not numerous but are prominently widespread. Three examples
from Viminacium originate from recent archaeological campaigns, meaning that
osteological material was available for analysis.
From an element to a composition: Reconstruction of a vault of terracotta tubes from Timacum Minus, Serbia
Authors: Bjelic Igor , Nikolic Emilija
Published: December 2020

The renewal of the archaeological excavations of Timacum Minus in 2019
initiated extensive analyses and an additional interpretation of the results
of previous excavations of its buildings. One of the buildings outside the
fortification has attracted special attention, because of both its
constructive solutions and its dimensions. Although the archaeological
research of ?the building with a hypocaust? has never been completed, there
are enough discovered segments that indicate the applied building techniques
and constructions. In addition to under-floor and wall heating systems, this
building had vaults built of terracotta tubes. The rarely discovered and
insufficiently documented examples of this type of vaulted structure in
Roman architecture in south-eastern Europe necessitate a deeper analysis of
their remains in Timacum Minus, with the aim of obtaining relevant
information important not only for the reconstruction of the construction
process and appearance of ?the building with a hypocaust?, but also for
future architectural analyses of Roman buildings in the territory of Serbia
and in the surrounding region.
Early medieval burial of woman and fox at the slog necropolis in Ravna (Timacum Minus) in Eastern Serbia

Published: December 2020

On the eastern slope of Slog Hill in Ravna, some 400 m to the west of the
Roman fortification of Timacum Minus, a multilayered necropolis was
investigated from 1994 to 1996 and from 2013 to 2015. There are two main
horizons of the necropolis - Late Roman and Early Medieval. The late Roman
necropolis has three phases dated from the middle of the 4th to the middle
of the 5th century. The early medieval necropolis, according to the new
excavations, has two phases, the earlier dated to the 8th - 9th centuries
and the later from the end of the 9th to the beginning of the 11th century.
An interesting grave (G 159), belonging to the earlier medieval phase of
necropolis, was discovered in 2014. It is a unique burial of a woman and a
fox, which has its only analogy in a disturbed woman and fox grave (grave
16) at the early Avar necropolis in Becej. The burial with a fox could be
interpreted in two ways - that the animal has a cult - ritual - magic
meaning or that the fox was a pet of the deceased.
The hot cracking susceptibility subjected the laser beam oscillation welding on 6XXX aluminum alloy with a partial penetration joint
Authors: Kang Minjung , Cheon Jason , Kam Dong Hyuck , Kim Cheolhee
Published: December 2020

A laser beam oscillation method using Galvano mirrors, which allows wide weld beads and controls thermal stress distribution, was suggested to suppress the formation of solidification cracks in laser welds. In order to understand the solidification cracking behavior in relation to the bead shape, laser beam oscillation welding was performed under various oscillation widths and frequency conditions. To evaluate the effect of the oscillation parameter on solidification cracking susceptibility, a regression analysis based on the shape of the bead was performed. Stress distribution generated during the laser beam oscillation welding process was also analyzed using finite element modeling simulation. From the results, it was demonstrated that a high shrinkage stress field at the bottom of the partial penetrated bead suppresses the solidification cracking.

Al-Qurâ€™an is the text that contains iâ€™jÄz. However, there are disagreements about iâ€™jÄz criteria. Some people think that iâ€™jÄz is outside the text, while others assume iâ€™jÄz is in the Qurâ€™an itself. One of the scholars who agreed that iâ€™jÄz al-Qur'an is in the text of the Qurâ€™an is Abd al-QÄhir al-JurjÄnÄ«. However, al-JurjÄnÄ«â€™s explanation explaining this problem is still widely misunderstood and sometimes directs understanding of the irrational aspects. This study aims to find the reasoning iâ€™jÄz al-Qurâ€™an according to al-JurjÄnÄ« by using the linguistic relativity approach. This study found that the problem of iâ€™jÄz al-Qurâ€™an according to al-JurjÄnÄ« lies in the aspect of the language structure (al-naáº“m) which covers the whole concept contained in the language convention. With the form of iâ€™jÄz in the form of this language allows the inability of other people to make the same thing that becomes the sign iâ€™jÄz can be explained through the concept of language relativity. Therefore, al-Qurâ€™an as when Allah made it has a special reality that excels every human language.

Authors: Deryabin Yuri A.
Published: December 2020

The article presents a study of technological partnership with the participation of industrial enterprises. Special attention is paid to the partnership in the technical and technological sphere between industrial entities and higher education organizations. To conduct the research there were used scientific methods of constructing concepts, analyzing regulatory documents and statistical materials. The main results of the study are to clarify the concept of technological partnership and its relationship with other related concepts, including "technological exchange", "technological cooperation" and "technological clustering". The principles of implementing technological partnership, including the principles of openness, partnership relations, and mutual benefit, are summarized. As part of the analytical part of the study, the main normative and legal documents describing the conditions and incentives for the formation of cooperative relations between industry and subjects of science and education are highlighted. Data on the current performance of economic entities within the framework of the considered documents are presented. The analysis of statistical information showed the interest of industrial enterprises and universities in the "project" format of interaction, which is more active at a higher technological level of both subjects. It is noted that since 2011, the share of industrial enterprises participating in joint projects with higher education organizations has increased. Using the example of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, it is shown that the multidirectional nature of the university's research and its clear focus on modern global trends in technological development is a key factor in building close cooperation "organization of higher education - industrial enterprise".

Introduction. The relevance of the article is due to the development of cross-border trade relations with the participation of residents of the United States of America and other states, in particular, and interest in questions about the correct choice of the applicable law in the framework of legal relations with the participation of US residents carried out in the territory or under the jurisdiction of the United States. Purpose. The author aims to consider the basic concepts, as well as some features of resolving conflicts arising between the provisions of federal law, the laws of certain states with the laws of other states, as well as, in some cases, with international law. Methodology. In the framework of the study, the author used various methods, in particular, the dialectical method, methods of analysis, synthesis, the formal legal method, the comparative legal method, as well as the method of interpretation of legal acts and judicial precedents. Results. The author examined the features of conflict resolution in accordance with statutory legislation, judicial precedents, as well as US doctrinal sources. The author provides the basic concepts regarding conflict law, which contain the main approaches to resolving the conflict of various jurisdictions in the United States. Conclusion. Based on the results of the study, the author concludes that even if there are separate (special) legal acts, court cases, as well as doctrinal sources that, it would seem, should help overcome conflicts between different legal systems, given the diversity of legal relations, such collisions will arise in the future, which will push lawmakers to further develop issues of US conflict law.

State Power and the Procedure for Creating Public Organizations in Russia in the Second Half of the 19th Century
Authors: Popov Dmitry I.
Published: December 2020

The article reveals the evolution of legal regulation of the procedure for creating public organizations in Russia in the second half of the 19th century. It is established that the main criterion for the legality of public organizations in Russia was the presence of a charter approved by the state authority. Legislative regulation of the creation of private initiative societies was reduced to determining the list of state authorities authorized to approve the charters of new societies. Through the publication of a wide range of secondary legislation, the state authority established the requirements for the content of statutory norms and determined the procedure for their approval. The author found that in the second half of the 19th century there was a decentralization of the mechanism for creating private initiative societies and simplification of the administrative licensing procedure.

Affective Factors in the Manifestation of Discriminatory Attitudes of the Personality in Behavior
Authors:   Saratov State University, Grigoryeva Marina Vladimirovna
Published: December 2020

The paper presents the results of an empirical study of affective factors in the manifestation of discriminatory attitudes of a person in behavior. The analysis revealed the following facts. As an affective basis for discriminatory behavior, negative emotional reactions towards people with non-traditional sexual behavior and politicians are expressed. Positive and/or altruistic emotions are associated with pensioners, children, adolescents, people with disabilities, handicapped people, representatives of other ethnic groups and religions, victims of crime, members of the opposite sex, physically unattractive people and people with low income. In relation to persons of no fixed abode and people with mental disorders, conflicting affective reactions are manifested: from sympathy and pity to anxiety and disgust. The strength of prejudice has a broad affective determination for the following social groups: migrants, representatives of other ethnic groups, physically unattractive people, representatives of another social community and youth subcultures. However, only in relation to representatives of youth subcultures, broad affective determination is the real basis for the increase in the strength of discriminatory attitudes and the manifestation of discriminatory behavior associated with the restriction of their activity.

“La isla en peso” de Virgilio Piñera: metamorfosis de un tigre que no existe
Authors: Hernández María de las Nieves
Published: December 2020

Este artículo aborda los tópicos de la cubanidad y la muerte en el poema "La isla en peso" del escritor cubano Virgilio Piñera. Es un ejercicio de lectura que focaliza adrede aspectos temáticos, si bien no excluye acercamientos a los planos formales o compositivos. La estrategia piñeriana enmarca o devela el punto de vista del sujeto lírico, respondiendo a una tensión entre el yo y lo otro que no halla nunca soluciones definitorias, y que constituye el mecanismo discursivo central de lo que aquí llamaremos ‘retorica del silencio’, opuesta y complementaria de otra, la ‘retórica del énfasis’.

Authors: Gutiérrez León Anabel
Published: December 2020

Este artículo se concentra en un tema tan particular como la comida y los aspectos anexos a este ritual social. Se analiza cómo, para estos autores, la alimentación guarda mayor relevancia en su dimensión estetizadora y reguladora de las relaciones sociales que establece una clase social con el mundo, antes que como medio de alimentación y subsistencia.

“Babelia” y El País. Los suplementos culturales en la transición española
Authors: Lafón Zuriñe
Published: December 2020

La renovación artística que vivió España durante la llegada de la Democracia provocó cambios en la prensa cultural. El aumento de acontecimientos artísticos en el país hizo que los diarios prestasen más atención a los contenidos culturales. A finales de los 70, los periódicos decidieron inaugurar las secciones de “Cultura” y “Espectáculos”, inexistentes hasta la fecha. En la década de los 80, adjuntaron a las publicaciones unos cuadernillos especializados, llamados suplementos. Este hecho dividió a los periodistas y expertos en soportes diferentes. Debido al éxito que tuvo esta especialización periodística, los suplementos se multiplicaron y, a su vez, se dividieron según las áreas –deportes, literatura, cine, arte...– hasta que en los 90 se volvieron a reunificar. El caso paradigmático analizado en este artículo es el suplemento cultural “Babelia”, editado porEl País.

Published: December 2020

The poultry sector plays an important role in animal production in terms of maintaining a stable production of healthy food for the population. With regard to the egg industry, sustainability refers to the treatment of laying hens and especially the systems used for hen housing. The conditions of welfare and housing of laying hens in the production of table eggs are currently of interest to most egg sellers as well as consumers as they directly affect the economy of their production and their price. At present, consumers have a choice of four types of eggs on the shelves. They can come from the cage, litter, free-range or organic farming. Each farm has well-defined rules that it must follow. Customers are increasingly interested in where and under what circumstances are produced the eggs which they bring home from the store. In addition to price, customers look for a story behind the package and make their decisions accordingly. Although recognizing that issues such as environmental consequences, food safety, and humane treatment of hens are also important, this article focuses on the relationships between hen housing and economy and market eggs production.
Comparative Analysis of in Vitro Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activity of Unripe and Ripe Fruits of Solanum sisymbriifolium
Authors: Momen Farhana , Barua Rashu , Kabir Md. Golam
Published: December 2020

Solanum sisymbriifolium Lam. (Solanaceae), commonly referred to as Kantikari (Bengali), sticky nightshade, or litchi tomato. Despite, the traditional use of this plant for several ailments, very little is known about the phytochemical and pharmacological content of the edible ripe berries of this medicinal plant. Ethanol and petroleum ether extract of the ripe and unripe fruits of Solanum sisymbriifolium were examined by using standard analytical methods to determine and compare their bioactive chemical constituents, total phenolic content, antioxidant, and cytotoxic potential. Quantitative phytochemical screening showed that the presence of medicinally active secondary metabolites like alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins were detected in both ripe and unripe fruits. Antioxidant activity and total phenolic content were found to be more pronounced in ripe fruit extract, whereas unripe fruit extracts showed moderate cytotoxic activity. DPPH free radical scavenging method demonstrated that IC50 value of ethanol and petroleum ether extract of ripe fruits were 194.40μg/ml and 436μg/ml, and for unripe fruit the values were 689.82μg/ml and 1411.23μg/ml. In brine shrimp lethality bioassay, the LC50 value of unripe fruits was 230.6559μg/ml for ethanol extract and 314.9227μg/ml for petroleum ether extract. The LC50 value of the ethanol extract of ripe fruits was 456.1021μg/ml and for petroleum ether extract was 1,017.6848μg/ml. The results of this study showed that the litchi tomato not only has the potential to be a rich source of an edible compound due to the presence of profound phytochemical constituents but also can be used as a source of pharmacological references.
Online Learning Cognition as Perceived by Undergraduate Students in China Eastern Province
Authors: LIU Zezhao , Tian Haifeng
Published: December 2020

Company with global educational reform brought by digital governance and the challenge of COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2020, it is quite necessary to explore learners’ recognition behaviors for on-line learning in the context of locked environment. By investigating on-line learning practices in China eastern provincial regions, the study attempts to disclose the undergraduate students’ perceptions on the issues pertaining to on-line learning and the innate critical factors for individual intention through the selected region of relatively-developed eastern China. A survey design was used for the study, and a close- ended questionnaire with the six point Likert scale was developed regarding the issues over on-line learning practices. The findings indicate that instructor characteristics and teaching resources are the predictors of the perceived usefulness of on-line learning, and perceived usefulness coupled with the joyfulness are the predictors of on-line learning recognition. While statistically significant, perceived adaptability was shown to own the weakest effect for on-line learning recognition among the predictors. All these results are consistent with previous studies in other China regions, proving the universal trait of learners’ perception and individual behavior towards on-line learning. Implications and future research are discussed eventually.
