Abstract: Natural wetland such as marshes ,swamps and bogs protect water quality . constructed or artificial wetland system mimic the treatment that occurs in natural wetlands by rellyilng on plants and a combination of naturally occurring biological , chemical and physical processes to remove pollutants from water . As of 1999,there were more than 500 constructed wetland in Europe and 600 in north America . constructed wetland are a less energy intensive and more environmentally sound way of treating waste water and conserving potable water . The first single family home constructed wetland in southern Nevada was completed Eighth years ago. A constructed wetland (CW) is an artificial wetland to treat sewage, greywater, stormwater runoff or industrial wastewater. It may also be designed for land reclamation after mining, or as a mitigation step for natural areas lost to land development constructed wetlands also act as a biofilter and/or can remove a range of pollutants (such as organic matter, nutrients, pathogens, heavy metals) from the water. Constructed wetlands are designed to remove water pollutants such as suspended solids, organic matter and nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus).

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to implement a Simple Algorithm to detect the range and shape of a brain tumor in MR images. There are many types of tumors, all of which are uncontrolled growths of tissues in any part of the body. Tumors are classified according to their types and they are treated differently according to their characteristics. It is well known that brain tumors are inherently dangerous due to their location within the skull's limited space (the intracranial cavity). According to the majority of research done in developed countries, people who die due to brain tumors are often mistakenly diagnosed. Generally, Imaging of the brain produced by CT scans or MRIs directed into the intracranial cavity is considered complete. During visual examination of this image by the physician, a brain tumor is detected & diagnosed. However, this method of detection limits the ability to accurately determine the stage & size of the tumor. To avoid that, by combining two algorithms, this study uses computer-aided segmentation (detection) of brain tumors as a means of avoiding that issue. Through the use of this method, tumor tissues can be segmented with similar accuracy and reproducibility as that achieved through manual segmentation. This method can also reduce the analysis time. As a result, a tumor is extracted from the MR image and its location and shape determined, and the tumor's stage is calculated from the amount of area calculated from the cluster.

Published: May 2022

Abstract: The COVID’19 pandemic, recent spike of Omicron variant and the upsurge in air pollution in metropolitan cities like Delhi has highlighted the importance of oxygen cylinders andother equipment’s. The various units in the health system such as: General wards, Emergency transport, Delivery rooms, Operatingtheaters, Intensive care units (ICU) also require a regular supply of oxygen. Thus, timely and powerful planning for reliable oxygensupply and delivery is needed to protect and save lives of people who are in need. Due to the unavailability of a proper channel of acquiring Oxygen during the pandemic, forced people to search for the supply of oxygen through phone calls and various social media platforms. But only few people got reliable suppliers and many could not get their demand satisfied at the right time. Evenhospitals faced the same situation. To combat such problems,in this project we propose a unique system for Oxygen Supply Management to people and hospitals which can meet the crisisin an effective way. In order to overcome the shortage of oxygen in the coming times, this proposed system will be launched as a digital platform to fast-pace the supply chain to both people and hospitals.

Published: May 2022

Abstract: In the agribusiness area, the splashing of pesticides is a significant assignment to shield the harvests from bugs for getting high returns. Be that as it may, ranchers have been fundamentally utilizing customary ordinary procedures like handworked and fuel worked sprayer frameworks for splashing pesticides. Fuel is costly and in many spots, fuel may not be accessible. Assuming that hand-worked splash frameworks are utilized, the work efficiency diminishes and the effectiveness will be low. The utilization of sun based energy framework is a substitute answer for these restrictions. Subsequently, a sun-based controlled horticultural pesticide sprayer is planned and created. The framework was planned and manufactured by considering boundaries like wanted splashing limit, low weight, minimal expense, easy to use nature, high working time, and quicker inclusion of region. Along these lines, the sunlight-based sprayer was created to be an incentive for cash items in the farming area. For planning the model, the regular sprayer framework was examined to figure out the instrument for the showering process. Numerical models were created in the wake of embracing appropriate suspicions for computation of force of the engine expected for showering a known amount of liquid. The parts expected for the framework were chosen by settling for known input esteems and thinking about their accessibility in the market. The framework was created and plans were made on the framework to make it versatile and to permit the client to convey it on his back while inactivity. The framework was created by the plan boundaries and field tried by the standard test conditions. Keywords: Pesticide, Solar sprayer, Application rate, Field capacity, Solar Energy

Published: May 2022

Society has been transformed by technology advances, such as virtual reality in leisure sports. We analyzed the leisure benefits, flow experience, and life satisfaction of players of actual golf and virtual golf. The 281 participants were divided into two groups according to whether
they played actual or virtual golf. Data validity and reliability were confirmed, and between-group differences were statistically verified with a multivariate analysis of variance. There were significant differences, namely, physical leisure benefits were relatively higher in the actual golf
group, and social leisure benefits and flow experience were relatively higher in the virtual golf group. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of life satisfaction. It is significant that both actual and virtual golf offer physical and social benefits.
¿Campesinos? “Hoy somos quien somos por la resistencia que nos hemos dado”. Formación de identificaciones al calor de una lucha opositora en María la Baja, Colombia, 2014-2020
Authors: Ávila González Natalia Estefania , Zendejas Romero Sergio
Published: May 2022

Esta etnografía se centra en la lucha de unos cultivadores de María la Baja para defender sus formas de vida contra la expansión agroindustrial de la palma aceitera y propone un enfoque sobre la formación de reivindicaciones autoidentificatorias campesinas en situaciones conflictivas. Analizamos la contenciosa formación de los aspectos compartidos y los no compartidos de dichas reivindicaciones como parte de su lucha, como expresión y punto de apoyo discursivo de sus prácticas opositoras y organizadoras de alternativas mediante una ONG. En lugar de suponerlos cohesionados a partir de una identidad esencial, preexistente a la acción colectiva y garante de esta, estudiamos sus intentos por acotar sus desacuerdos reivindicativos, y por promover y estabilizar lo compartido a fin de fortalecer la organización de su lucha.
Concurrencia de acuerdos y visiones en la provisión de infraestructuras como forma de reparación a víctimas y de construcción de paz en el Oriente antioqueño
Authors: Ramírez Zuluaga Luis Antonio
Published: May 2022

A partir de un trabajo etnográfico, conjugado con una revisión documental, se evidencia que en el Oriente antioqueño diversas obras de infraestructura son realizadas como formas de reparación a víctimas del conflicto armado y de construcción de paz. El artículo analiza la concurrencia de visiones y acuerdos que hay en torno a ello, y encuentra que existen dos agenciamientos particulares. Uno en el que la reparación a las víctimas y la construcción de paz a través de las infraestructuras constituyen un medio de construcción de Estado, así como un restablecimiento del discurso del desarrollo económico. Y otro en el que la construcción y el mantenimiento de la infraestructura tienen que ver con la cimentación de la vida en comunidad en la que coexisten procesos materiales y afectivos.
poder secreto de los archivos audiovisuales: etnografías del tiempo y la infraestructura en el Alto Magdalena
Authors: Garcia Aguilera Jesus Alejandro
Published: May 2022

Los estudios sociales de la infraestructura han dado cuenta de la naturaleza no-lineal, múltiple y contradictoria de las temporalidades de estos aparatos técnico-científicos. No obstante, nuestro conocimiento sobre su pluralidad contrasta con la escasa comprensión que tenemos de su capacidad para sincronizar múltiples experiencias temporales en narrativas históricas hegemónicas. Con base en una etnografía de archivo del documental 50 años de historia para una realidad, este artículo analiza los principales dispositivos y operaciones de producción temporal de la represa de Betania en la cuenca alta del río Magdalena. El trabajo contribuye a la literatura sobre las temporalidades no-lineales de la infraestructura, en cuanto pone de presente que la multiplicación de experiencias temporales y la producción de narrativas históricas hegemónicas son operaciones paralelas y coconstitutivas, cuyos efectos políticos deben ser leídos de manera conjunta.
Evaluating the Causal Effect of Multimedia and Affective Temperament in Felt Emotion and Liking
Authors: De Amorim Barbosa Silva Rafaela , Torres Pereira Eanes
Published: May 2022

In this paper, we propose an approach to evaluate the causal effect of videos on subjects who watched movies from the LIRIS-ACCEDE dataset and from whom the following information was collected: affective temperaments, gender, and electroencephalography (EEG) signals. The affective temperament was obtained by analyzing their answers to the AFECT questionnaire. Evidence was collected from specialized literature to design a Structural Causal Model to be subjected to Do-Calculus Causal Inference. Video concepts were extracted to characterize the major video content after k-means clustering. Information from 15 volunteers was analyzed and the effects of video content, affective temperament, and gender on emotion response and liking were computed. Higher Order Crossings (HOC) were extracted from EEG signals and the features were clustered and used as intermediate evidence of affective influence. This research provides answers for the following questions about the specific watched videos: (i) How does gender affect the felt emotion and liking? (ii) How does the affective temperament of a person affect felt emotion and liking? and (iii) How does the content of a video affect felt emotion and liking? The main contribution of this paper is in the proposed methodology which can be applied to any similar dataset to investigate the causal relationships of video content and affective temperament on the emotion of the audience.
Del Simple Turismo... al Turismo Complejo enfocando la formación profesional para un turismo con sentido
Authors: Rivera Berrío Andrés , Vargas Valencia Luis Miguel
Published: May 2022

Para 1918, Europa vivía las consecuencias devastadoras de una pandemia, la Gripe Española. El virus se dispersó entre los soldados de la primera guerra mundial y a través de ellos a las poblaciones locales, generando decenas de millones de muertes en todo el mundo durante dos años. Un siglo después, el virus Sars-Covid19, es dispersado por los turistas que viajaban masivamente por todo el mundo desde China, suscitando la casi total parálisis del mundo. Se anhela el retorno al turismo normal, pero las condiciones para ello pueden haber cambiado de manera sustancial. Por eso, conviene revisar el proceso histórico del desarrollo turístico para identificar nuevos caminos a seguir, fijándonos en que las primeras definiciones y estudios sobre turismo surgieron en tiempos de pandemia y con ello, el surgimiento del turismo moderno. Paradójicamente, podría ser el mismo turismo el que contribuirá en la recuperación económica y social en tiempos de la pospandemia. El análisis que ofrece este libro aborda diversos spectos epistemológicos de las cuatro escuelas de pensamiento turístico (Económica, Del Ocio, Ambiental, institucional) y cómo éstas han incidido en la configuración de las propuestas de formación profesional para contribuir históricamente a la superación de la pobreza en las comunidades anfitrionas, protegiendo su patrimonio natural y cultural usufructuado por el turismo, al tiempo que se promueve la recreación dignificante del turista y se replantean las institucionalidades del turismo, entre las cuales se incluye las académicas. Los planes de estudios de pregrado y posgrado requieren de una renovación curricular que forme profesionales preparados para asumir al turismo desde el pensamiento complejo, para lo cual se debe educar desde modelos de gestión sistémicos, interdisciplinarios y participativos. Se incluye un estudio de caso con una propuesta para asumir procesos de renovación curricular para la formación en turismo.
Nuevo horizonte poético de la lengua española I la creación poética Eunice Odio
Authors: Peláez Pérez Carlos Eduardo
Published: May 2022

El trabajo poético de Eunice Odio se podría indicar como la transfiguración de la luz, porque para ella ese fue su periplo vital, “ser espía de la luz”. Este personaje vital toma las encarnaciones para realizar quizás el poema dramático más original de la lengua castellana del S.XX. Sus personajes tienen el carácter que los hace permanecer o desaparecer, de representarnos o no tener la dignidad de hacerlo. La fábula devenida de la luz tiene como fuente la tragedia de los héroes humanos, ya sean los del evangelio o los de la tragedia griega. Esa luz paralela a la de Luis de Góngora, que desaprenden las cosas y quedan con el nombre, para donarle las relaciones más esenciales de la imaginación. Este trabajo, como los realizados por los críticos Juan Liscano, Peggy Von Mayer, Jorge Chen Sham, Carlos Zener y otros, solo puede concluir que la poesía de Odio representa el núcleo de la invención, la importancia de la rebeldía, la mediación de la materia y el espíritu, la palabra que es también un acto. La poesía de Tránsito de Fuego, la opera prima de la poeta, nos contiene, nos rodea y en esa forma inmanente de sujetarnos nos concede la trascendencia como el secreto de un oráculo que señala el futuro como la sustancia que se despliega en la poesía. Señalar las fuentes de la necesidad de aprender el mundo, de instaurar el roto diálogo con nosotros mismos, de compartir la alegría de la poesía, que no es más que la “respiración de la manzana, / sin la cual no estaría repitiéndose el cobre, No multiplicarían su número las aguas/ Y no habría una manzana repetida”

Authors: Shi Jinghua , Gu Zhi , Wu Yu , Li Xiaoyan , Zhang Jing , Zhang Chen-Yu , Yan Hai , Dai Yi , Leng Jinhua
Published: May 2022

Background: Adenomyosis (AM) is a common benign gynaecologic disease
characterized by dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding and requires
for long-term management. Levonorgestrel - releasing Intrauterine System
(LNG-IUS) is a long-acting hormone-releasing uterine device which has
benefits in relieving pain and reducing bleeding. Objectives: To
summarise the current available evidence regarding the LNG-IUS for the
treatment of AM and to identify potential research gaps. Search
Strategy: We performed a systematic search in electronic databases
including MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, CBM, CNKI and Wanfang.
Selection Criteria: We included studies of adult patients with a
diagnosis of AM and focused on treatments with the LNG-IUS combined with
conservative therapy. Data Collection and Analysis: A random-effects
model was used for meta-analysis. Quality and risk of bias were assessed
using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale for non-RCTs and Cochrane risk of bias
tool for RCTs. Main Results: Thirty-nine studies compared the LNG-IUS
with other conservative therapeutic drugs, and 32 studies investigated
LNG-IUS as the post-operative therapeutic management. In patients who
received conservative therapies, the most reported comparison was
GnRHa+LNG-IUS versus LNG-IUS alone, followed by LNG-IUS versus
mifepristone, gestrinone, blank control, GnRH-a, and androgen.
Conclusions: Compared with COC and GnRHa, LNG-IUS could maintain a
long-term effect in reducing dysmenorrhea and bleeding. Combined
therapeutic treatment with GnRH-a and LNG-IUS was more efficacious than
LNG-IUS alone in patients with an enlarged uterus and moderate to severe
dysmenorrhea. Moreover, in patients undergoing post-operative therapy,
the LNG-IUS showed a significant long-term benefit. Keywords: LNG-IUS

Microbial seed coating: an attractive tool for sustainable agriculture
Authors: Paravar Arezoo , piri Ramin , Balouchi Hamidreza , Ma Ying
Published: May 2022

Today, the issue of crop yield and quality is one of the many challenges
facing societies. Residues of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, hormonal
compounds, and preservatives have caused many environmental issues. It
is necessary to reduce these environmental crises by paying attention to
the development of sustainable agriculture. Seed coating is considered
one of the best methods to promote sustainable agriculture where the
physical and physiological properties of seeds can be improved to
facilitate planting, increase growth indices and alleviate abiotic and
biotic stresses. Several methods of seed coating (e.g., dry powder
coating, seed dressing, encrusting, seed pelleting, and film coating)
are used to attain good application uniformity and adherence in the seed
coating process. Seed coating has been tested in seeds of various plant
species (e.g., vegetables, medicinal and other plants with small seeds)
with different dimensions, forms, textures, and germination types. Plant
beneficial microorganisms (PBM), such as rhizobia, bacteria, and fungi
inoculated via seed inoculation can increase seed germination, plant
performance and tolerance across biotic (e.g., pathogens and pests) and
abiotic stress (e.g., salt, drought, and heavy metals) while reducing
the use of agrochemical inputs. In this review, the microbial seed
coating process and their ability to increase seed performance and
protect plants from biotic and abiotic stresses are well discussed and
highlighted in sustainable agricultural systems.
The role of ipsilateral tonsillectomy in the extirpation of branchial cleft anomalies- A retrospective monocentric analysis over 13 years
Authors: Fiedler Lukas , Fiedler Lorenz
Published: May 2022

Introduction. Branchial cleft anomalies (BCA) can occur as sinuses,
fistulas or cysts. They arise from the first, second, third or fourth
pharyngeal cleft due to non-fusion or subinvolution. Mostly, located in
Robbin’s neck-level II, BCA clinically present as a painless
compressible swelling, cutaneous draining sinus, or fistula. Surgical
treatment is the gold standard to prevent recurrence, though the
necessity of ipsilateral tonsillectomy is discussed. Study Design. We
conducted a retrospective comparative cohort study. Setting.
Monocentric. Methods. In retrospect, data was collected from patients,
that were admitted with the diagnosis BCA between 2006 and 2020 in an
academic tertiary care center. Main outcome measures. 160 patients met
inclusion criteria, the data was further evaluated, the focus was set on
the occurrence of recurrence with or without tonsillectomy. Results.
Recurrence of BCA was observed in 2 out of 160 surgically treated
patients (1,25%), one of them with simultaneous tonsillectomy, the
other without. Conclusion. A statistically significant difference in the
recurrence-rate between these two groups (with/without tonsillectomy)
could not be shown. The performance of an ipsilateral simultaneous
tonsillectomy in the surgical workup of BCA cannot be recommended at the
basis of our data.
Niche differentiation in both microhabitat and trophic interactions contributes to high local diversity of Euphorbiaceae in a tropical tree assemblage

Published: May 2022

Understanding the mechanisms that drive community assembly in
species-rich tropical forest remains a fundamental challenge in ecology.
Here, we integrated trait dimensions, metabolomics, and phylogeny to
test whether interspecific variation over multivariate trait dimensions
contribute to coexistence among Euphorbiaceae species. We measured 41
functional traits related to resource acquisition, photosynthetic
capacity, hydraulic safety and efficiency, and defense in all 26
Euphorbiaceae species in a 20-ha forest dynamics plot in tropical
southwestern Yunnan, China. Network analysis revealed that a small
number of traits with high network centrality reflected variation in
ecological strategy among the Euphorbiaceae. Further, we observed
significant turnover with respect to these high-centrality traits over
environmental gradients at distinct spatial and temporal scales. Whereas
resource-utilization traits and the habitat associations they mediate
exhibited consistent phylogenetic signal. Phylogenetic divergence in
chemical defenses likely represents an additional trait dimension that
enhances local diversity of closely related Euphorbiaceae in
southwestern China.
Intestinal metabolites of Farfarae Flos produce antitussive effect via modulation of gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids
Authors: Yu Shuting , Fan Jianxin , Dong Xianlong , Yang Linjiao , He Pan , Qin Xuemei , Li Zhenyu
Published: May 2022

Background and Purpose Farfarae Flos (FF), derived from the flower buds
of Tussilago farfarae L., is used as a traditional folk medicine for the
treatment of cough, bronchitis and asthmatic disorders. However, its
antitussive mechanism is unknown yet. Experimental Approach The
antitussive mechanism of FF was investigated from the perspective of gut
microbiota. The antibiotic pretreatment and fecal microbiota
transplantation (FMT) were used to investigated the microbiota-host
interaction after FF treatment. The composition of gut microbiota was
detected by using 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences. The gut
metabolites variations were evaluated by LC-MS based metabolomic
analysis and GC-MS based targeted short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)
profiling. Key Results FF increased the abundance of SCFAs-producing
bacteria, which consequently led to the elevated SCFAs levels. SCFAs
supplementation further confirmed the importance of SCFAs for the
antitussive effect of FF. The antitussive effect of FF was gut
microbiota dependent, as demonstrated by antibiotic treatment and FMT.
FF could also probably regulate Argnine/NO metabolism by inhibiting
arginase which was confirmed by antitussive effect of Argnine
supplementation. Caffeic acid (CA) and quinic acid (QA), intestinal
metabolites of caffeylquinic acids metabolized by Lactobacillus and
Bifidobacterium, showed antitussive effect by increasing the butyrate,
and butyrate-producing bacteria (Clostridium and Ruminococcus) were also
enriched by QA. Conclusion and Implications Our study shows that CA and
QA were proved as the key bioactive metabolites for the antitussive
effect of FF. This study may present a novel approach for investigating
the antitussive mechanism of herbal drug from the perspective of gut
microbiota.

Barth, Barthes, and Bergson: Postmodern Aesthetics and the Imperative of the New
Authors: Douglass Paul
Published: May 2022

Bergsonian aesthetics give art the imperative of constantly reinventing itself and have furnished a useful key to Modernism. Here, they are applied to the continuities and disruptions of the "postmodern," with its hybrid, contradictory, pluralistic claims. Focusing mainly on John Barth and Roland Barthes, this essay argues that, despite the criticism's efforts to finish it off, the "modern era" has not ended, and perhaps cannot end until artists cease to believe they live in a constantly modernizing present. Barthes in particular validates Bergson's significance for the artist-theorist, incessantly forging writing anew, trapped by the modern era's demand for ceaseless novelty and experimentation.
Count-Time: Neoliberalism, Subjectivity, and Jimmy Santiago Baca's Prisoner Poetry
Authors: Michelson Seth
Published: May 2022

In the mapping of global struggles for subjective reemergence from state domination and oppression in the neoliberal age, one fascinating form of resistance comes from Pinta/o, or Chicana/o prisoner, poets in the United States. Written from deep within systems of carcéral control, their poetry exposes and contests the ontological, social, political, and material violence of the U.S. prison regime. It is argued that a layered network of violences is constitutive of the state, not tangential to it. Furthermore that violent process of state formation is posited as a function of neoliberal subjectivation. Consequently the prison can be theorized as an important threshold: It becomes both a site and an episteme of neoliberal (re) subjectivation. That is, the prison is a locus for the violence of subjectivation as well as a logic of it. To illuminate and critique such violence, this essay performs close readings of the Pinto poetry of Jimmy Santiago Baca to inaugurate and foreground a specifically poetic argument about the interrelation of subjectivity, neoliberalism, and U.S. carcéral culture.
“Leitkultur” and Canons: Two Aspects of Contemporary Public Debate
Authors: Rindisbacher Hans J.
Published: May 2022

What they are and more importantly in recent history, who and what they should become, has been a central question for Germans. In recent years the complex of cultural identity, social policy, and migration has significantly been shaped by Bassam Tibi's concept of "Leitkultur," the civic-democratic underpinnings of a tolerant society. Juxtaposed with the question of a literary canon, its size, content, in fact, its very possibility and desirability, "Leitkultur" has informed, often controversially, public discourse. This article explores the cultural-literary intersection between the two terms and navigates it via four recent works: Marcel Reich-Ranicki's Der Kanon; Johannes Thiele's Das Buch der Deutschen-, Dietrich Schwanitz's Bildung-, and Thilo Sarrazin's Deutschland schafft sich ab. - The result? While a canon must be premised on "Leitkultur" -a "Leitkultur" without literature would be a sorely impoverished human cultural space.
