Authors: Dinsa Temesgen , Balcha Urgaya , Benya Fayisa , Fufa Mihratu
Published: February 2022

Mung bean is a useful crop in drier areas and has a good potential for crop rotation and relay cropping with cereals using residual moisture. The experiment was conducted at Adami Tulu Agricultural Research Center (ATARC), Lume and Dugda during 2018 and 2019 with the objective to identify adaptable and high yielder mung bean varieties for East Shewa Zone and similar agro ecologies. Four released mung bean varieties Shewa robit, Beroda, N-26 and Arkebe used as planting material. The experiment was laid down in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The plot size was 1.8m × 2.5 m (4.5 m2) having 6 rows and a spacing of 0.30 m between rows and 50 cm between replication, 1 m between blocks. Data’s like  height (cm), number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, days to days to flowering, days to maturity, grain yield (kg ha-1), 100 seed weight (g) were collected and analyzed using SAS software.  The combined analysis of variance showed that there was significant variation at (P≤0.05 and P≤0.01) among the studied varieties, locations, and year main effect. There were also significant interaction effect on location by year, varieties by year and location by varieties by year for grain yield and other yield components. But non-significant on varieties by location for all traits except plant height and indicated those varieties were performed similarly across the locations.  Shewa Robit variety had a higher grain yield (1607.4 kg ha-1) followed by N-26 (1542 kg ha-1) and Beroda (1466.1 kg ha-1). While Arkebe Variety had a lower grain yield (893.4 kg ha-1) as compared with other varieties. Therefore Shewa Robit and N-26 were recommended for the study area and similar agro-ecologies.

The level of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, As, Cr, Ni, Co, Zn) and physicochemical parameters in borehole water sources within selected mining sites in Ebonyi State, Nigeria were determined using FS240AA Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) according to the method of American Public Health Association (APHA). Water samples were collected from Enyigba mining site, Ikwo mining site, Ameri Amekamining site, Izza mining site, Mkpume Akwatakwa mining site and Mpume Akwaokuku mining sites. Composite water samples were collected within the mining locales and 500 metres away from the mining locations using two liters plastic jars. Similarly, the control samples were taken from Abakaliki (about 15 km away from mining area) where there was no evidence of mining activity. A total of 14 sub-samples were collected for this study. Generally, the levels of heavy metals in the borehole water samples were higher than the values recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). This however suggests a possible mobility of the metals from mining sites into the groundwater sources through leaching. The findings from this study have revealed the need to purify borehole water within mining areas prior to industrial and domestic use.

Authors: Oviedo-Gómez Andres , Londoño-Hernández Sandra Milena , Manotas Duque Diego Fernando
Published: February 2022

Los procesos de liberalización de los mercados eléctricos en diferentes países generaron una nueva forma de definir los precios de la electricidad, lo que ha aumentado la dificultad para modelar y analizar su dinámica. Este estudio presenta un análisis bibliométrico de los determinantes del precio de la electricidad en mercados no regulados. La investigación sistemática a través de la base de datos Scopus, para el período enero de 1979 - abril de 2021, permitió observar 636 documentos indexados. Los resultados mostraron un aumento en el número de documentos por año en las últimas dos décadas. Además, los países con mayor producción fueron China, Estados Unidos y Alemania según su número de publicaciones. Sin embargo, Estados Unidos, Canadá e Irán tuvieron el mayor impacto según la relación entre el número de documentos y el número de citas. Los principales determinantes fueron las condiciones económicas y de mercado, el clima, el funcionamiento del sistema eléctrico y la demanda de los clientes. Del mismo modo, la tendencia de investigación en los últimos años se enfoca en pronosticar el precio con mayor eficiencia.

Lipomas account for 50% of soft-tissue tumors and may compress adjacent structures. We report the case of a 49-year-old female patient with intense anal pain associated with defecation urgency, tenesmus, incontinence and dyspareunia. A soft tumor was present in the right buttock suggestive of lipoma. On magnetic resonance imaging an apparently encapsulated mass with a size of 15.7 × 9 × 6 cm was identified extending through the ischioanal fossa and ischiorectal fossa, displacing the levator ani muscle and rectum. The lesion was excised en bloc and the patient was discharged 48 hours later without complications. The pathology report concluded that the lesion corresponded to a lipoma. We performed a bibliographic search in PubMed to assess the association between lipoma and fecal incontinence; Of the 87 articles retrieved, none of them responded to the subject of the study. These symptoms are exceptional in the literature. The diagnosis is made mainly with magnetic resonance imaging and endoscopic ultrasound. An excellent functional outcome was achieved with surgical excision.

Published: February 2022

Background: Percutaneous drainage is an alternative to surgery in the management of pelvic abscesses. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the transgluteal approach. Material and methods: Transgluteal percutaneous drainages were performed by 3 surgeons using computed tomography guidance. The Seldinger technique was used with 8 Fr and 10 Fr catheters under local anesthesia. Drainage was considered successful if the abscess regressed and did not recur. Results: Mean age was 49.2 years. Escherichia coli was the most common microorganism identified. In 50% of the cases, the abscesses occurred postoperatively. Mean duration of drainage was 9.2 days. Drainage was successful in all the cases and there were no major complications. Conclusion: Transgluteal computed tomography-guided approach is safe and well-tolerated for the treatment of deep pelvic abscesses
A Camper Shade of Roar: Ronald Firbank’s Concerning the Eccentricities of Cardinal Pirelli and Ivy Compton-Burnett’s Pastors and Masters
Authors:   Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (España), Díaz-Lage José María
Published: February 2022

This paper looks at some of the manifestations of camp in two very different novels from the 1920s: Ronald Firbank’s Concerning the Eccentricities of Cardinal Pirelli and Ivy Compton-Burnett’s Pastors and Masters. Emphasis is placed on those elements which derive from camp’s detachment, theatricalization and fixation on the surface. Two specific aspects are examined in both novels: their use of dialogue (particularly its discontinuity) and their use of static, tableau-like plots. The final considerations address the relationship between camp and irony as seen in camp’s rejection of moral judgement.
A Girl’s Life in English Interwar Suburbia: Evadne Price’s Just Jane
Authors:   Universidade da Coruña (España), Lasa-Álvarez Begoña
Published: February 2022

Just Jane, the first of a series of books for young female readers written by the Australian-English writer Evadne Price, was published in 1928. The young heroine starring in the book and the members of her family represent the typical middle-class family living in an English suburban area, a type of neighbourhood which underwent an unprecedented growth during the 1920s. This article analyses Price’s text in the light of the new lifestyle fostered in English interwar suburbia, as it illustrates how, together with the building of new houses and neighbourhoods, new values concerning family relations, gender roles, social networking and leisure activities were generated and promoted.
Fractional carbon dioxide LASER for acne scars
Authors: Bhalla Mala , Arora Astha
Published: February 2022

Acne is a common disease and patients frequently suffer from its distressing sequela of scarring which affects their quality of life. The treatment strategy for acne scars is usually influenced by multiple factors and we need to choose the best fit from amongst the various therapeutic modalities available. Lasers are increasingly being used and fractional ablative lasers create microthermal zones leading to collagen regeneration and reorganization in the target area. Fractional carbon dioxide laser has shown clinical efficacy in skin renewal in atrophic acne scars. Patient selection, counseling, pre, and postprocedure care guidelines form essential factors influencing the procedure outcomes. Here we discuss practical aspects of the use of fractional carbon dioxide laser in acne scar management along with pointers on patient selection, pre and postprocedure care, and side effects.
Event-related potentials in traffic policemen
Authors: Khaliq Farah , Vaney Neelam , Indora Vipul
Published: February 2022

Objectives:

Occupational exposure to environmental factors has various adverse effects on health. The traffic policemen are exposed to the higher health risk as they are constantly working in the noisy and polluted environment. Since the job of traffic policemen demands concentration and attention, we planned to study event-related potentials (ERPs) in them to assess this aspect of their cognitive ability.

Materials and Methods:

The present study was conducted on 35 traffic police personnel from the area of East Delhi who were posted at busy traffic intersections for more than 3 years. ERPs were recorded using the oddball paradigm. They had to respond to target stimuli by pressing a button on the response pad with a thumb of their dominant hand.

Results:

The latencies of N100, P200, N200, and P300 waves were not significantly different between controls and subjects. P300 latency was 266.41 ± 39.21 in controls and 254.20 ± 30.84 in subjects (P = 0.15). P300 amplitude was also not significantly different in both groups.

Conclusion:

There are no changes in the latencies of different components of ERP’s of traffic policemen, indicating preserved concentration and attention in our study.

Cette étude a évalué la dynamique spatio-temporelle des espaces verts en réponse à la croissance spatiale urbaine au niveau des sept communes de la ville de Lubumbashi en République Démocratique du Congo, entre 1989 et 2014. L’approche cartographique couplée aux indices de structure spatiale a révélé que, depuis 1989, la proportion du bâti a progressivement augmenté dans les communes au détriment des espaces verts qui ont enregistré une dynamique régressive. En 25 ans, la superficie des espaces verts a régressé dans toutes les communes, conséquence d’une pression démographique rapide couplée à l’absence de programme approprié pour leur préservation. En termes de processus de transformation spatiale, leur dynamique a été dominée par l’attrition, la fragmentation et la dissection; ceci par opposition à la création et l’agrégation qui ont caractérisé les zones bâties. Nos observations justifient le besoin d’une politique de gestion durable des espaces verts qui tienne compte du contexte socio-économique de chaque commune.

Green Spaces in the Urban and Peri-urban Area of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This study evaluates the characteristics of green spaces subject to peri-urbanization in Kinshasa. It analyzes their typology, spatial pattern, vegetation, management, state of maintenance and potential ecosystem services. The analysis is based on a random sample of 87 green spaces situated in urban and peri-urban areas of the city and is mainly based on Fisher exact tests and analysis of variance. Results show that the studied green spaces have similar characteristics along the urbanization gradient with a relatively high plant species diversity in peri-urban areas. Peri-urban areas stand out for gardens while green spaces with collective courts characterize most urban areas. As for the expected ecosystem services, they show little variation along the urban-rural gradient. Nevertheless, the dominant ecosystem services are less related to the improvement of the environmental quality of inhabited areas than to economic and or socio-cultural population needs. It seems necessary to establish a multifunctional green network through the maintenance and development of green spaces responding to the social demand and environmental challenges of the city.

Published: February 2022

Оценена пространственная вариабельность содержания металлов в водах южных притоков Байкала, рассчитан вклад малых рек в формирование состава металлов байкальской воды, рассчитаны коэффициенты водной миграции ряда микроэлементов, включая тяжелые металлы. Составлена схема районирования территории южного Прибайкалья по способности обеспечивать тот или иной состав металлов в водах. Оценена загрязненность поверхностных вод и скорости ассимиляции ими загрязнителей. По данным о содержании металлов в снеговом покрове озера Байкал и дельты реки Селенга выявлены преобладающие антропогенные источники металлов. Установлено, что и в фоновых, и в антропогенных ландшафтах главным фактором формирования состава вод является химический состав их геологических фундаментов. В меньшей степени состав вод зависит от подземных вод регионального стока. В антропогенных ландшафтах состав вод, помимо геологических условий, зависит от интенсивности загрязнения, специфики источников загрязнения и способности водных объектов к самоочищению. Установлено также, что способность вод к самоочищению от конкретного металла зависит от его сродства к органическому веществу вод.

The spatial variability of metal content in the waters of the southern tributaries of Baikal has been estimated, the contribution of small rivers to the formation of the metal composition of Baikal water has been calculated, and the coeffi cients of water migration of a number of trace elements, including heavy metals, have been calculated. A scheme has been drawn up for zoning the territory of Southern Baikal region in terms of its ability to provide some form of metal composition in waters. The contamination of surface waters and their assimilation rates have been assessed. According to the data on the content of metals in the snow cover, the predominant anthropogenic sources of metals have been identifi ed. It has been established that in both background and anthropogenic landscapes the main factor in the formation of water composition is the chemical composition of their geological foundations. To a lesser extent, the composition of the waters depends on the groundwater of the regional drain. In anthropogenic landscapes, the composition of waters, in addition to geological conditions, depends on the intensity of pollution, the specifi city of pollution sources and the ability of water bodies to self-clean. It has also been found that the ability of waters to self-clean from a particular metal depends on its affi nity for the organic matter of waters.

The Role of Agent in Islamic Financing: A Critique
Authors: Shah Burhan Ali
Published: February 2022

This study explores the role of agent in the Islamic modes of financing in order to identify ambiguities/issues related with the role of agent in Murabaha, Salam, Istisna and Tijara. The research further discovers the view of the Shari’ah experts with respect to such ambiguities so that they can either be verified as Shari’ah issues or non- Shari’ah issues. The role of agent was examined using content analysis of the model documents used by Islamic banks followed by soliciting the views of the Shari’ah specialists through interviews. No Shari’ah issue was found in hiring the customer as agent by the bank in any Islamic modes or binding the agent to act as an “undisclosed agent”. Conversely, the supplier’s risk, was declared to be the obligation of the bank and transferring this risk to the agent was observed as a real issue from Shari’ah point of view in the practice of Murabaha. Similarly, the principal is not allowed to charge any penalty to the agent if he is working without negligence and in good faith. Shifting charges like transportation, storage, etc., to the agent is not correct. However, no Shari’ah issue was found in binding the agent to provide collateral/security, etc., to the bank. Nevertheless, no consensus was observed on binding the agent to provide corporate guarantee. This research appears to be a preliminary but important attempt of its nature examining the critical role of agent in Islamic modes of financing adding value to the body of knowledge in Islamic banking.
Rebuilding Islamic Economics on New Foundations
Authors: Zaman Asad
Published: February 2022

Massive amounts of confusion exists regarding the definition of Islamic Economics. This has blocked progress in terms of the development of the discipline, since there is no agreement on what its proper subject matter and methodology is. This paper shows that the confusion arises because of our attempts to borrow foundational concepts and methodology from conventional capitalist economics. Modern economists advertise their discipline as a positive, objective, and factual science. However, it is actually a branch of moral philosophy, built on concealed moral foundations of competition, selfishness, individualism, and hedonism. Islamic economics cannot be built on such foundations. We can build the discipline of Islamic Economics on the diametrically opposite foundations of cooperation, generosity, brotherhood of mankind, and social responsibility. Instead of the methodology of Newtonian physics currently in use, we need to use the methodology of Ibne-Khaldun, created for studying the process of social change. With new moral foundations, and a new methodology, it is possible to rebuild Islamic Economics on new foundations. As a first step towards doing so, we examine thirty different definitions of Economics available in the literature. We show that most of them are in harmony with our conceptualization of new foundations for the discipline. Most of the remaining can be harmonized by considering them as specialized branches of the broad definition of Islamic Economics. It is hoped that achieving consensus on goals and methods for Islamic Economics will open the path to rapid progress in the field.

A 71-year white male presented to pulmonologists with progressively worsening respiratory problems with a chronic productive cough, asthma symptoms and malaise. The patient was subjected to the traditional treatment of antibiotics, cough suppressants, and inhaled bronchodilator and corticosteroids. After multiple failed combinations of antibiotics, cough suppressants, and inhalers, the patient had a sputum sample, which was analyzed by special stains and targeted Next Generation DNA Sequencing (NGS). Fungal eukaryotic (18S) NGS identified by ‘best match’, Candidae parapsilosis and C. viswanathii and an organism in the Glomerulaceae family, Funnelformis mosseae. The patient was prescribed an antifungal in tandem with an antibiotic, Terbinafine and Doxycycline. The patient rapidly improved to his baseline. This communication communicates the potential of NGS microbial sequencing in pathogen identification in chronic pulmonary disease and improved clinical outcome.
Predicting the future of excitation energy transfer in light-harvesting complex with artificial intelligence-based quantum dynamics
Authors: Ullah Arif , Dral Pavlo O.
Published: February 2022

Exploring excitation energy transfer (EET) in light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) is essential for understanding the natural processes and design of highly-efficient photovoltaic devices. LHCs are open systems, where quantum effects may play a crucial role for almost perfect utilization of solar energy. Simulation of energy transfer with inclusion of quantum effects can be done within the framework of dissipative quantum dynamics (QD), which are computationally expensive. Thus, artificial intelligence (AI) offers itself as a tool for reducing the computational cost. We suggest AI-QD approach using AI to directly predict QD as a function of time and other parameters such as temperature, reorganization energy, etc., completely circumventing the need of recursive step-wise dynamics propagation in contrast to the traditional QD and alternative, recursive AI-based QD approaches. Our trajectory-learning AI-QD approach is able to predict the correct asymptotic behavior of QD at infinite time. We demonstrate AI-QD on seven-sites Fenna–Matthews–Olson (FMO) complex.
Homochiral β-CF3, -SCF3 and -OCF3 secondary alcohols: catalytic stereoconvergent synthesis, bioactivity and flexible crystals

Published: February 2022

An optimized catalytic protocol for enantio- and diastereoselective reduction of racemic α-CF3, α-SCF3 and α-OCF3 aryl ketones is described. The reaction involves a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) based on ruthenium catalyzed Noyori–Ikariya asymmetric transfer hydrogenation for simultaneous construction of two contiguous stereogenic centers. A range of previously inaccessible fluorinated secondary alcohols was prepared in excellent stereomeric purity (up to above 99.9% ee, up to above 99.9:0.1 dr) and in high isolated yield (up to 99%). The origin of DKR (exceptional stereoselectivity and racemization mechanism) is rationalized by density functional theory calculations. Pharmaceutically relevant further transformations of the products are demonstrated including incorporation into heat shock protein 90 inhibitor with in vitro anti-cancer activity. Moreover, needle-shaped crystals of representative stereopure products are mechanically responsive: either elastically or plastically flexible, opening the door to novel class of functional materials based on chiral molecular crystals.
Can fluorine form triple bonds?
Authors: Kleber Julian M.
Published: February 2022

A central dogma is that fluorine is the most electro negative element in the PSE and would thusact as a pure electron acceptor. However, to some chemists it is known, that fluorine can bond induality. This means fluorine can act as a donor and an acceptor of bonds and thus electrons. Thedonor/acceptor properties of fluorine are known from the NF molecule, where a partial double bondcharacter is present[1]. Up to now, however, chemists are not aware that fluorine may form even triple bonds, something that other elements from the second row of the PSE do as well. The subsequent work investigates theoretically the possibility of triple bonds between fluorine and Mn in a heterodimer MnF. Moreover, mono fluorides isoelectronic to MnF and higher oxidation states of MnFare investigated. Furthermore, the tendency to form singlets and possibly multi–bonded states is investigated for higher transition metals and halogens as well. It is concluded that first the naive methodology of using Wigner-Witmer rules may find their limit in the case of MnF and isoelectronic compounds as well as higher homologues. Secondly, it is demonstrated that using ECP may lead to misleading results on higher transition metals when calculating heterodimers with halogens.

Este artigo se ocupa de investigar o papel da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos na reconstrução da identidade constitucional no Brasil pós-1988. A pesquisa desenvolveu-se segundo uma abordagem qualitativa, com amparo em método hipotético-dedutivo e mediante técnica de revisão bibliográfica. Para tanto, a dogmática de Carl Schmitt e Michel Rosenfeld são revisadas, argumentando-se a inadequação da leitura schmittiana de identidade constitucional, de modo a balizar o estudo segundo uma concepção desconstrutivista e pluralista. Conclui-se, ao cabo, que a transnacionalização da identidade constitucional encontra obstáculos de natureza estrutural e sócio-histórica, que, no Brasil, restringem a incorporação do discurso jurídico interamericano.

Authors: De Macedo Pedro Augusto França , Albuquerque dos Santos Helcínkia
Published: February 2022

Este artigo investiga as possíveis posturas do Judiciário em face da judicialização, abordando o ativismo judicial e a autocontenção. Realiza um estudo principiológico da decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal que analisou a constitucionalidade de diversos dispositivos do Novo Código Florestal. Busca identificar quais os valores podem se colocar em rota de colisão e a solução encontrada pelo Judiciário para resolver a lide. Concluiu que, segundo o STF, a proteção ambiental não se sobrepõe ao princípio democrático, havendo tendência à deferência ao processo legislativo e à autocontenção em matéria de Direito Ambiental.

Authors: Mozzatto Natália Rosa , Faria Josiane Petry
Published: February 2022

A pobreza menstrual se relaciona a falta de acesso a recursos para aquisição de produtos de higiene, necessários ao período da menstruação, afetando 12,5% das meninas e mulheres do mundo. Objetiva-se, no método dedutivo, tratar da vulnerabilidade socioeconômica transversalizada pelo gênero, já que a falta de acesso a recursos durante o período menstrual também se relaciona a tabus culturais e sociais. Assim, busca-se relacionar o fenômeno da pobreza menstrual ao conceito da condição de agente das mulheres, trabalhado pelo economista Amartya Sen, a fim de se promover o desenvolvimento, a liberdade e o bem-estar das mulheres que enfrentam tais vulnerabilidades.

Authors: Rocha Sales Ana Débora , Mourao De Brito Marcella , Antonio Bruno Da Silva Alexandre
Published: February 2022

A reforma da previdência provocou um retrocesso frente as mudanças normativas do direito previdenciário provocadas pela Emenda Constitucional n° 103/2019. O objetivo é analisar o princípio da reserva do possível, que age como uma limitação aos direitos sociais, levando em consideração os recursos disponíveis pelo Estado. A metodologia foi o dedutivo de cunho bibliográfico, com materiais teóricos, bem como documentos normativos. Concluímos que a atual reforma conduziu a redução dos direitos já positivados o que torna claro o desrespeito ao princípio da vedação ao retrocesso.
O PARADOXO DA (IN) TOLERÂNCIA EM KARL POPPER E OS LIMITES-FRONTEIRAS DO DISCURSO DE ÓDIO
Authors: Gomes Juan Pablo Ferreira
Published: February 2022

O trabalho parte do “paradoxo da tolerância” de Karl Popper para investigar as fronteiras e os limites jurídicos ao que se concebe como (in) tolerante, no que passou a ser definido enquanto discurso de ódio na atualidade. Assim, aborda-se o que Popper considera como riscos da tolerância ilimitada e possibilidade de superação do conflito através da racionalidade no âmbito da linguagem, confrontando-se com a perspectiva e classificação adotada por Rainer Forst do conceito de tolerância e seus respectivos limites, bem como sua adequação jurídica quanto ao tratamento dado ao “discurso de ódio” como definido e explorado por Jeremy Waldron.

PERSPECTIVA CONSTITUCIONAL SOBRE O NÃO RECONHECIMENTO DA NACIONALIDADE ITALIANA PARA OS DESCENDENTES DE TIROLESES NO BRASIL
Authors: Marcolla Fernanda Analú , Arrabal Alejandro Knaesel
Published: February 2022

O presente artigo pretende analisar quais fatores impedem que os brasileiros descendentes de tiroleses obtenham o reconhecimento da nacionalidade italiana. Em decorrência da divisão territorial do Tirol entre os países da Itália e da Áustria, os cidadãos tiroleses que habitavam aquela localidade deveriam se manifestar para o governo local sobre qual nacionalidade optariam. Devido a guerra e aos problemas socioeconômicos nos países supracitados, muitos tiroleses em busca de uma condição de vida melhor migraram para o Brasil sem realizar a escolha ou sendo obrigados a renunciar a nacionalidade de origem, sendo este, um empecilho para a concessão da nacionalidade italiana.
