Published: June 2021

We at SEA believe that the pandemic has a granularity of meta, non-linear narratives that become useful in making sense of the relational complexities of the pandemic and society. Thus, we set out to collect stories of fears, joys, agilities, fragilities, friendships, networks, collectives, home, work, infrastructures, entrepreneurship, privileges, marginalizations, migrations, desperation, gender, equity, etc. The glossary as a method became useful to reflect on this granularity of experiences and account for slippages during these times. These spatiotemporal stories, when read together or as individual instances produce a new sense of the emergent contemporary. This framework also allows us to speculate on the kind of world we will inhabit once the storm has passed.

We draw on multiple readings to bring out the nuances and patterns of social life produced in a pandemic. This we hope would allow us to collectively reflect on the restructured ideas of the self, the collective, society, space, and time.

In the midst of the pandemic, locked in, people searched for virtual escapes. The idea of role and gameplay was utilised to inhabit fictional worlds.

Background: The relationship between smoking and Coronavirus
Disease-2019 (COVID-19) is still topical with mixed epidemiological
evidence. However, the pandemic may affect people’s beliefs towards
smoking as well as smoking behavior and quit intentions. Considering
high smoking rates in Jordan, our current study aimed to assess (i) the
beliefs that surround smoking and COVID-19, (ii) the pandemic impact on
smoking behavior and quit intention. Methods: A cross-sectional study
was conducted in Jordan utilizing an online questionnaire. The
questionnaire comprised 13 items on sociodemographic, health, and
smoking profiles, 14 items to assess beliefs surrounding COVID-19 and
the use of combustible cigarettes (CC), waterpipe (WP), and electronic
cigarettes (EC), and 12 items to assess the pandemic impact on smoking
behavior and quit intention. Results: 1163 never-smokers, 1044 current
smokers, and 217 ex-smokers have participated in our study. The mean age
of participants was 35.2 years (SD:11.06). Most participants have shown
anti-smoking beliefs with around 72.9% believed that WP smoking is
related to the risk of contracting COVID-19. Also, 71.7% believed that
smoking CC may worsen the COVID-19 clinical course, while 74.1% of
respondents believed that smoking has no protective effect against
COVID-19. During the pandemic, about 28.1% and 19.3% of current
smokers reported increased or reduced smoking, respectively, and many
smokers reported their willingness to quit smoking due to the pandemic.
Conclusion: Most participants reported anti-smoking beliefs during the
pandemic. Nevertheless, the double-edged effect of the pandemic on
smoking habits should be carefully considered, and reliable anti-smoking
measures should be strengthened and sustained.
Altered precipitation regimes mitigate N2O flux response to nitrogen addition in an alpine steppe
Authors: Yang Yang , Xiao Yuanming , Changbin Li , Wang Bo , yongheng Gao , Guoying Zhou
Published: June 2021

Anthropogenic-driven global change, including changes in atmospheric
nitrogen (N) deposition and precipitation patterns, is dramatically
altering N cycling in soil. How long-term N deposition, precipitation
changes, and their interaction influence nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions
remains unknown, especially in the alpine steppes of the Qinghai-Tibetan
Plateau (QTP). To fill this knowledge gap, a platform of N addition and
altered precipitation experiments was established in an alpine steppe of
the QTP in 2013. N addition significantly increased N2O emissions, and
alterations in soil NO3-N, pH, temperature, and belowground biomass
modulated N2O emissions. In addition to abiotic parameters,
ammonia-oxidizing bacteria dominated N2O emissions in nitrification
compared with ammonia-oxidizing archaea. Changes in the denitrifying
microbial community, namely a high ratio of (nirS+nirK) gene-containing
to nosZ gene-containing organisms, were responsible for N2O emissions in
denitrification. Altered precipitation did not affect N2O emissions.
This unexpected finding, which is inconsistent with the conventional
view that N2O emissions are controlled by soil water content, indicates
that N2O emissions are particularly susceptible to N deposition in the
alpine steppes. Notably, whereas N2O emissions were affected by N
addition as a single factor, they were not significantly affected by the
combination of precipitation changes and N addition, indicating that
altered precipitation patterns may mitigate the positive feedback effect
of N addition on N2O emissions. Consequently, our study suggests that
the response of N2O emissions to N deposition in future global change
scenarios will be affected by precipitation regimes in the alpine
steppes.

Published: June 2021

Carbon sequestration of organic materials and biochar in soil is a vital
way to increase soil organic carbon (SOC), but the stability of SOC
especially the humic substances (HS) is different with these amendments.
In this study, cotton straw, compost derived from cotton straw (compost)
and biochar derived from cotton straw (biochar) were added with
equivalent carbon content into soil and incubated for 180 days. The
structural characteristics of humic acid (HA), fulvic acid (FA) and
humin (Hu) was studied by solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR) spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
The results showed that the aryl C of Hu and FA increased by biochar
treatment or biochar incorporated straw or compost and decreased with
low ratio of biochar incorporated straw or compost. In addition,
phenolic C of Hu and HA increased by straw treatment or biochar
incorporated straw and increased with low ratio of biochar incorporated
straw or compost. However, O-alkyl C of Hu and HA increased by compost
treatment or biochar incorporated compost and increased with low ratio
of biochar incorporated straw or compost. These results suggest that the
stability of FA amended with straw or compost can be enhanced by
incorporating biochar through increasing aryl functional groups, but the
stability of HA amended with straw or compost can be enhanced by
incorporating biochar through increasing alkyl groups. Biochar was in
favor of aryl C formation of FA and Hu, while straw or compost was
beneficial to alkyl C formation of HA and Hu.

Published: June 2021

Dextransucrase (DS) is a glucosyltransferase (E. C. 2.4.1.5) that catalyzes the transfer of glucosyl residues from sucrose to dextran polymer and liberates fructose. This enzyme isassociated with a wide application range of dextran and oligosaccharides. DS production by Leuconostoc mesenteroidesT3 was optimized using a Central Composite Design under the Response Surface Methodology. Three variables were chosen for optimization: distillery stillage, sucrose and manganese concentration. The results showed that sucrose and manganese concentrations had a positive linear effect on DS production while all variable interactions (stillage-manganese, stillage-sucrose, and sucrose-manganese) had significant influences on the DS production. The maximal DS yield of 3.391?0.131 U cm-3, was obtained in the medium with 64.33 % distillery stillage concentration, 5.30% sucrose concentration and 0.022 % manganese concentration. Our study revealed the potential of distillery stillage combined with sugar beet molasses, supplemented with sucrose and manganese to be employed as a valuable medium growth for lactic acid bacteria and production of DS. Also, taking into consideration the origin of the substrates, utilization of industrial by-products in this way has a great environmental relevance and is in accordance with circular economy.

Published: June 2021

Heat dissipation is a foremost issue in machining of materials and to
overcome this different cooling techniques are adopted to improve the
surface integrity and diminish microstructural damage and to effectively
flush chips produced. In this research, machinability of titanium grade 5
(Ti-6Al-4V) was carried out through drilling process considering three
different cooling procedures like cryogenic cooling (CO2), palm oil based
minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and wet/flood cooling with general
cutting fluid (emulsifiers). Experiments were prearranged in par with
Taguchi?s technique and a suitable L18 orthogonal array was formulated and
the outputs obtained viz., interface temperature and cutting forces
(torque/thrust force) were analyzed by adopting response surface methodology
(RSM). For interface temperature, type of coolant is the most influencing
factor, whereas for cutting forces, the impact of feed rate, drill speed and
type of coolant are significant. Response surfaces were fitted for the
outputs and subsequently a higher polynominal regression equation was
developed for prediction. The optimum condition obtained for constraint
multiobjective optimization using desirability approach was: drill speed of
42.49 m/min, feed rate of 0.05 mm/rev and cooling type as cryogenic cooling.
The main objecive is to minimize the interface temperature and torque
subjected to the constraint thrust force (?1500 N). Confirmation experiment
performed with optimum condition displays a significant enhancement in
output results.
Residential domestic hot water consumption analysis for multifamily buildings supplied by district heating
Authors: Vamos Viktoria , Horvath Miklos
Published: June 2021

The exact knowledge of DHW and heat consumption is necessary in the process
of heat cost allocation and planning. In Hungary, heat cost allocation is
based on summer months? heat demand. This method doesn?t lead to an accurate
result due to the fact that the DHW demand varies throughout the year. There
are several studies dealing with consumption data analisys, but only some of
them have exact estimations on DHW usage patterns the Central-Eastern
European countries. In this paper the DHW consumption was analysed in 115
?commi block? buildings, which are common in Central-Eastern Europe and
Russia and are usually connected to the district heating network. The
examined buildings are located in Budapest, Hungary. The installation of the
monitoring system has started in December 2012. The consumption data is
collected since March 2014. The DHW usage was calculated in different cases
for every month: per heated area, per heated volume and per flat. Average
daily and annual data was also determined, the share of yearly DHW
consumption over the months was calculated. The average daily and annual DHW
consumption are 126 l/flat and 892 l/m2, respectively. The average net heat
consumption is 28.2 kWhm-2a-1. Different DHW demand influencing factors were
examined: the outdoor temperature and the residents? travelling habit is
clearly influencing the DHW usage but no connection was found between the
DHW consumption and economic indicators. The DHW consumption is
approximately 30% higher in the winter than in the summer.

In this research article details the hydrogeo chemical process characterization and ecological impact of groundwater was carried out around the Noyyal river, Coimbatore region, India. In pre and post monsoon region, the surrounding shallow wells groundwaters are used for this trial experiments (50 samples) and its major cations and anions are also observed. From the analytical results it?s identify that majority of ions pursue the succeeding sequence Cl > Na > Ca > Mg > HCO3 > SO4 during both seasons. About 6% of the groundwater samples was lying in under saline water group during both seasons. The dying industries use many chemicals throughout the dyes process, resulted in high content of Cl and sodium within the groundwater. During the post and pre monsoon, 42% and 45% of samples were affected. It revealed that the absorption of Na and Cl were surpassed the allowable percentage. About 55% of the examples fall in Na-Cl sort, which plainly demonstrates the prominent impact of enterprises profluent and geochemical measures on the nature of water. Spatial distribution indicates that all the major ions increase towards northern and central part of the region. Strong positive correlation for Cl with EC, Ca, Mg, and Na were observed during both seasons due to influence of anthropogenic impact and natural processes. The Kelly?s and Magnesium Hazards about 50% of the samples exceeded above the limit indicates unsuitable for agriculture purpose during the season of pre and post monsoon. In current location, the process like silicate weathering and reverse ion exchange establishing the groundwater chemical properties. This study further reveals that in the proximity of industries the ground water possesses higher concentration of associated ions is found around the industries due to the ecological impact of effluents. Hence it is realised that to recover the groundwater quality of this region, it is essential to treat the effluent effectively.

Authors: Vera-Rozo James , Riesco-Avila Jose , Elizalde-Blanca Francisco , Cano-Andrade Sergio
Published: June 2021

This work presents a polynomial regression model for the optimization of the content of fatty acid methyl esters and the conversion yield of waste vegetable oil to biodiesel. The equations are optimized to obtain the maximum fatty acid methyl esters yield, which is the product of the conversion yield and the fatty acid methyl esters content in the biodiesel. The independent variables considered are the type of catalyst used (KOH and NaOH), percentage of catalyst (0.6%, 1.0%, and 1.5% w/w with respect to oil), and the methanol: oil molar ratio (6:1, 7.5:1, and 9:1). The prediction models are obtained by using nine experimental points for each catalyst. The validation is developed with four main experimental points from the mapping. A polynomial relation is obtained as a consequence, which correlates each of the experimental variables with the fatty acid methyl esters and conversion yield. The optimization of the proposed models shows an error of 2.66% for the fatty acid methyl esters, and an error of less than 1% for the conversion yield are obtained. This work presents a straight forward methodology to obtain the best chemical conditions in the production of biodiesel by using a small number of experiments, obtaining good results. This methodology can be applied for biodiesel production from any raw material, recalculating each of the regression constants thus allowing to obtain the highest quantity of oil to be converted in fatty acid methyl esters.
Critical heat flux analysis of divertor cooling flow channel in fusion reactor with CFD method
Authors: Li Xiangyu , Wang Guanghuai , Guo Yun , Li Songwei
Published: June 2021

Situated at the bottom of the vacuum vessel, the divertor extracts heat and ash produced by the fusion reaction, minimizes plasma contamination, and protects the surrounding walls from thermal and neutronic loads. The vertical targets of divertor are designed to be able for up to 20 MW/m2 high heat flux. It is a great ordeal for both the material performance and the cooling ability. Critical heat flux margin is very crucial during the design of divertor. The ANSYS FLUENT is used in this paper to predict the critical heat flux on a monoblock structure with a twisted tape inside the tube. Numerical results are validated with the corresponding sets of experimental results. In this paper, CFD method used to predict critical heat flux of divertor cooling channel was first introduced. On the other hand, influence of inlet subcooling on critical heat flux is studied in detail. The inlet subcooling affect the critical heat flux much complicated for the single-side heated and swirl flow channel. Whether the influencing trend or the locations of critical heat flux occurrence are different under different inlet sub-cooling. The derivations between the simulation and experimental results were no more than 32%. This study proves the CFD tools can provide efficient help on the understanding of the critical heat flux phenomenon of complex construction.

Authors: Shih Wei-Liang , Tung Yi-Ching , Chang Luan-Yin , Fang Chi-Tai , Tsai Wen-Yu
Published: June 2021

OBJECTIVE

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been linked to enterovirus infection in small population-based epidemiological studies. We investigated the secular relationship of T1D incidence with enterovirus infection and enterovirus species using nationwide population-based analysis.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We accessed the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan to identify T1D and enterovirus infection cases from 2001 to 2015. Enterovirus serotype isolation rates were obtained from the nationwide laboratory surveillance systems. Negative binomial regression models assessed the incidence trend, and extended Cox proportional hazards models analyzed the association of enterovirus infection with T1D incidence. Spearman correlation coefficients evaluated the correlation between T1D incidence and circulating enterovirus species.

RESULTS

T1D incidence rates in youth younger than 20 years were 6.30 and 5.02 per 100,000 person-years in 2001 and 2015 (P = 0.287), respectively. T1D incidence increased significantly in children aged 0–6 years (P < 0.001) but decreased in adolescents aged 13–19 years (P = 0.011). The T1D risk in children aged 0–6 years with enterovirus infection was significantly higher than that in noninfected subjects (hazard ratio 1.46; 95% CI 1.35–1.58; P < 0.001). Additionally, TID incidence in children aged 0–6 years was significantly correlated with the isolation rates of coxsackievirus A species (r = 0.60; P = 0.017), but no association was found beyond the age of 7.

CONCLUSIONS

We demonstrated that T1D incidence increased in children aged 0–6 years but decreased in adolescents aged 13–19 years in Taiwan. Enterovirus-infected subjects younger than 7 years had a higher risk of T1D than noninfected subjects.

Monetary Policy Spillovers Under Covid-19: Evidence from U.S. Foreign Bank Subsidiaries
Authors:   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Spiegel Mark M.
Published: June 2021

This paper uses Call Report data to examine the impact of home country monetary policy on foreign bank subsidiary lending in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. Examining a large sample of foreign bank subsidiaries and domestic U.S. banks, we find that foreign bank lending growth was positively associated with both lower home country policy rates and negative home country rates. Our point estimates indicate that a one standard deviation decrease in home country policy rates was associated with a 3.5 percentage point increase in lending growth while negative home country policy rates added an additional 3.0 percentage points on average. Disparities in sensitivity to home country rates also exist by bank size, as large banks exhibited more responsiveness to home country policy rate levels, but were less responsive to negative policy rates. Easier home country policy rates are also found to impact negatively in growth in capital ratios and bank income, in keeping with expanded foreign subsidiary activity. However, income responses to negative home country rates are mixed, in a manner suggestive of sophisticated adjustment of global bank balance sheets to changes in relative home and host country monetary policy stances. Overall, our findings confirm that the bank lending channel for global monetary policy spillovers was active during the pandemic crisis.

Authors: COROȘ Monica Maria , BODE Oana Ruxandra , SĂVAN Emanuel-Emil , CIUCIOIU Tudor Alexandru
Published: June 2021

The current restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic have a strong impact on all forms of tourism. Rural tourism holds certain advantages over alternative/classical forms, which reduce the risk of infection i.e. unpolluted air and tranquility, low population density, reduced human interaction, easy social distancing and smaller lodgings. This paper analyzes the rural tourism potential for a village situated in North-Western Transylvania (Romania): Mănăstireni. The data was captured by developing and distributing a questionnaire consisting of 34 question. The results indicate that, whilst the local infrastructure is deficient, respondents are generally satisfied or very happy with the rural tourism in the analyzed area. Among the most frequently quoted advantages were found to be tranquility, clean air, beauty of landscapes, and the hosts’ hospitality. These identified characteristics represent clear advantages that rural tourism holds over classical/ alternative forms (e.g. city breaks), especially in the current pandemic conditions.

Published: June 2021

Love and romance have always been very popular in the history of mankind, as a result of which participation in romantic tourism is not new to tourists. The best known types are the wedding and honeymoon tourism. It is also a known fact that changes in the macro environment have a significant impact on tourism. Terrorist acts, particular speeches of a politician, the instability of the political environment, forms of governments can affect the number of tourists visiting a given country. Of course, the natural environment can also significantly influence the entrepreneurial spirit of tourists, not only in a negative but also in a positive way: disaster tourists travel specifically to places where there has already happened or may happen a natural disaster. However, a pandemic is a phenomenon which impact on tourism is a dramatic one. The aim of this paper is to answer the following questions: (1) can the demand for romantic tourism be perceived via advertising campaigns made during the pandemic? Furthermore, (2) what are the criteria of differentiation of the most popular four-star hotels for wedding venues or accommodation compared to their rivals? More specifically, what can create the added value of hotels?

CRITICAL PHENOMENOLOGY AND PHENOMENOLOGICAL CRITIQUE
Authors: POPA Delia , REYNOLDS Iaan
Published: June 2021

Phenomenological critique attempts to retrieve the lived experience of a human community alienated from its truthful condition and immersed in historical crises brought by processes of objectification and estrangement. This introductory article challenges two methodological assumptions that are largely shared in North American Critical Phenomenology: the definition of phenomenology as a first person approach of experience and the rejection of transcendental eidetics. While reflecting on the importance of otherness and community for phenomenology’s critical orientation, we reconsider the importance of eidetics from the standpoint of Husserl’s genetic phenomenology, highlighting its historical and contingent character. Contrary to the received view of Husserl’s classical phenomenology as an idealistic and rigid undertaking, we show that his genetic phenomenology is interested in the material formation of meaning (Sinnbildung), offering resources for a phenomenological approach to a materialist social theory.
PHENOMENOLOGICAL VARIATION AND INTERCULTURAL TRANSFORMATION: MERLEAU-PONTY’S PHENOMENOLOGY AND ABU-LUGHOD’S ETHNOGRAPHY IN DIALOGUE
Authors: McMAHON Laura
Published: June 2021

This paper develops phenomenological resources for understanding the nature of intercultural understanding, drawing on the work of Merleau-Ponty in dialogue with feminist anthropologist Abu-Lughod. Part One criticizes Western framings of non-Western violence against women that render the experience of non-Western Others inaccessible. Part Two discusses how certain strains in Western feminism reinforce some of these problematic framings. Part Three offers a phenomenological account of our experience of other persons, and Part Four argues that intercultural understanding takes the form of a “variation” between one’s own and the other’s experience. Part Five explores the implications of this phenomenology of cross-cultural understanding for interpreting dynamic cultural transformations, and the politics of violence against women, in an interconnected and unequal world.
THE RHYTHM OF REORGANIZING THE WORLD. MALDINEY AND THE THEORY OF CRISIS
Authors: MURAKAMI Yasuhiko
Published: June 2021

This article examines the work of French phenomenologist Henri Maldiney (1912-2013), a philosopher who shed light on the phenomenon of interrogation by a world that has lost its pre-existing coordinates. While Maldiney himself referred to paintings and mental illness, we try to read his theory as an analysis of social situation and action. His theory helps us understand end-of-life situations in which caregivers encounter scenes where it is difficult to break out of a stalemate. It is a theory of practice based on an innovative understanding of the concept of rhythm.
HERMENEUTISCHE ÜBERLEGUNGEN ZU HEIDEGGERS „SCHWARZEN HEFTEN“ UND ZUM NEUDENKEN SEINES DENKWEGS (I)
Authors: FEHÉR István M.
Published: June 2021

Hermeneutical Considerations on Heidegger’s Black Notebooks and on the Revisiting of his Path of Thinking (I). Starting with preliminary philological-hermeneutical considerations concerning the way Heidegger’s Black Notebooks can and should be dealt with, as well as concerning the question what tasks may be derived from them for future research, the paper attempts to discuss the Black Notebooks applying a variety of methods and multiple approaches. Themes that are discussed at more or less length include: Time factor and the formulation of our task; explanation and understanding or the way a philosophical path should be approached and dealt with methodically (hermeneutically); the theme related to “Heidegger and anti-Semitism” and the question concerning individuality; prejudices from a hermeneutical perspective and the way to deal with them; relapses and their philosophical explanation; missing and increased sensibility; Heidegger and Hegel; equivocality and the dark side of the “formal indication”; Lukács, Scheler and the devil; Heidegger’s great being-historical treatises and their greatness; suggestions for a reconsideration of Heidegger’s way of thinking. -- One important hermeneutical claim brought to bear on the various discussions is this: just as it would be in-appropriate in our dealing with Heidegger’s texts to disregard Heidegger’s own self-interpretations, it would be no less inappropriate to consider those self-interpretations--which themselves call for interpretation--as telling us the sole and ultimate truth.
ROMAN INGARDEN’S EGOLOGY AND CARTESIANISM
Authors: STARZYŃSKI Wojciech
Published: June 2021

he article focuses on the problem of egology in the thought of Roman Ingarden, a conception that offers a creative and critical response to Husserl’s egology and converges with the historical conception of the ego in Descartes. It analyses the problem in two stages based on two important texts by Ingarden: Controversy over the Existence of the World and Man and Time. Starting with reflections on the status of pure consciousness, Ingarden recognises the pure ego as something solely abstract compared with the worldly and irreducible real ego. From there his reflections on the ego move on to the problem of its substantiality, specific temporality as well as the role and experience of the body to finally produce a philosophy of existence with ethical and personalistic overtones. In this way Ingarden recreates the egological journey in Descartes, who, searching for the foundation of knowledge, identified subjectivity as the union of body and soul and saw its fulfilment in the ethical experience of generosity.
El rol del FMI en la economía argentina
Authors: Rua Magdalena
Published: June 2021

Este artículo analiza el papel que ha tenido el FMI en el último ciclo de endeudamiento externo y fuga de capitales en Argentina, durante la gestión del gobierno de Cambiemos. Además, presenta una revisión de los antecedentes más cercanos del organismo como facilitador de la fuga de capitales en Argentina y en apoyo a las políticas de valorización financiera. Asimismo, se trazan conexiones entre los problemas del sistema tributario argentino y la fuga de capitales, los cuales son profundizados por las medidas adoptadas por gobiernos neoliberales —y promovidas por el FMI—, y el incumplimiento de los derechos económicos, sociales y culturales. Finalmente, se estudia el sistema tributario como una herramienta en pos de mejorar la estructura económica social y reducir los niveles de desigualdad y pobreza. Para ello, se manifiesta la necesidad de una reforma tributaria que dote de progresividad al sistema tributario y combata la evasión fiscal de las grandes empresas y de las personas de alto patrimonio.

From the time immemorial, all drastic pandemics and associated pathogens have been under the spotlight of research in our attempts to identify, characterise, control and trace back their origin. Quite often such attempts have enabled mankind to find effective solutions to overcome such pathogen outbreaks and turn them to pages of history. In the wake of repeated infections in different corners of the world, its quite essential to evaluate if they are the cruel aftermaths of nature or any manmade error. In such as scenario, recent developments in the molecular evolutionary analysis offer us more information in-depth regarding the virus emergence, molecular epidemiology, virulence and evolutionary concepts, adding to the conventional strategies in viral epidemiology. The nucleotide sequences were retrieved from NCBI. The present study revealed the genetic variability of CoV, 2019-nCoV against previously reported corona viruses. Moreover, the genetic variability of COVID-19 from different affected corners of the globe are evaluated to get a better understanding of their modes and routes of spread across our planet.Such nucleotide sequence-analyzed information gathered from this investigation will definitely assist the intention and implementation of effective pandemic control measures.

Background: Mental health care professionals across the globe should be prepared to contain the spread of COVID-19 among clients with mental illness and should adopt appropriate strategies to manage them effectively. Objective: The objective of this review was to summarize the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on mental health delivery. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was done to identify the effect of COVID-19 global pandemic in mental health delivery. Articles addressing mental health concerns of COVID-19 and its impact on preexisting mental illness and mental health care delivery, available free download in English language were included. A total of nine primary studies published from the onset of COVID-19 until 15th July 2020 were referred to prepare this narrative review. Result: There is evidence that patients with preexisting mental illnesses shows increase in stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances and COVID-19 related delusions and hallucinations during this global pandemic. The proposed drug treatment for COVID-19 and the imposed restrictions on the public to prevent the spread of the disease had resulted in exacerbation of existing mental illness or triggered new mental illness. Conclusion: There should be more research coming up to understand the real effect of COVID-19 on mental health care delivery and possible alternatives to global mental health delivery at the time of global pandemic.

Published: June 2021

This paper presents research conducted in the United Arab Emirates with the management of Bareburger, the chain of sustainable restaurants, as well as among its clients. In our project, we are interested in the relation between the offer of sustainability and the culture of conscious consumption. The opinions of industry experts and customers collected in an interview session are analyzed to derive the answer to the research questions. The research focuses on finding the possibility of changing the mindset and habits of consumers and creating an impact on consumer behavior by offering a responsible and sustainable nutrition model. An experiment was conducted to analyze the effect of sustainable restaurants on consumer culture in terms of cultivating healthy food habits. In our case study, we analyze Bareburger, a healthier fast-food chain that originated in the United States, which took the concept of sustainability to a completely new level, from ideation to implementation. Observing this process, we checked whether the unhealthy eating habits that we observe in the Middle East can be changed through the carefully composed model of a responsible restaurant.
A arte de Brasília: 2000-2019
Authors:   University of Minnesota, Beal Sophia
Published: June 2021

Brasília, para aqueles e aquelas que não moram lá, tende a ser vista como uma cidade sem cultura. No entanto, como argumenta A arte de Brasília, essa reputação está desatualizada. Os artistas contemporâneos do Distrito Federal (DF) estão transformando a maneira como as pessoas usam os espaços públicos e interpretam a capital. Esses artistas do século XXI estão reformulando o DF como uma sede vibrante das artes, na qual a produção cultural afirma o direito criativo à cidade das populações marginalizadas. A arte produzida em Brasília na década de 1960 foi sancionada pelo Estado e realizada principalmente por homens brancos privilegiados. Em contraste, a arte contemporânea da capital é marcada por sua diversidade, assim desafiando padrões sobre os tipos de arte que podem simbolizar o DF. O livro analisa prosa, poesia, cinema, jornalismo cultural, música, fotografia, grafite, dança e teatro de rua que desmistificam as desigualdades da capital e imaginam formas alternativas de habitar a cidade.

Acinetobacter baumannii is such a big challenge in this modern era because of their multi-drug resistance (MDR) through their resistance mechanism, namely the production of beta lactamase enzymes, one of them is oxacillinases. Several studies have revealed that the OXA-23 gene has an important role in the production of the beta lactamase enzyme so that these bacteria are resistant to antibiotics, especially carbapenem. This study was conducted to determine the description of the resistance of the Acinetobacter baumannii by looking at the prevalence of the OXA-23 gene in clinical isolates of these bacteria at RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang.
This study was a descriptive observational study and used a cross-sectional design using polymerase chain reactions (PCR) and electrophoresis techniques. The samples were clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria stored in the Microbiology Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University with inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Of the 150 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii studied, most of the bacteria were still sensitive to the antibiotics of Amikacin (84%), Tigecycline (78.76%), and Trimethoprim / Sulfamethoxazole (76.77%). Meanwhile, all of the Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were resistant to cefazolin. In PCR and electrophoresis tests, 50 clinical isolates were positive for the OXA-23 gene. 46 of them were carbapenem resistant, while the other 4 isolates were sensitive to carbapenem. From these results it can be concluded that the prevalence of the OXA-23 gene in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang was 85.18% for carbapenem resistant isolates and 4.30% for carbapenem sensitive isolates.
Keywords : Acinetobacter baumannii, carbapenem, OXA-23 gene

Hemoglobin is one of the most important parts of blood in pregnant women because hemoglobin supplies oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, including the fetus a mother is carrying. If the hemoglobin level is outside of the normal range, newborn babies will have abnormal anthropometric features and APGAR scores.
This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between hemoglobin in pregnant women with anthropometry and APGAR score of newborns. This study uses a retrospective analytics method and is supported by statistical analysis using the Pearson correlation test to obtain the relationship of independent variables with dependent variables.
From 100 patient data taken, we found a significant relationship with a weak correlation for the relationship of hemoglobin of pregnant women with infant weight, a significant relationship with a weak correlation for the relationship of hemoglobin of pregnant women with body length, a significant relationship with a weak correlation for the relationship of pregnant women with the circumference of a baby's head, a significant association with a weak correlation for the relationship of hemoglobin in pregnant women with an APGAR score of 5 ', and a meaningful relationship with a weak correlation for an association of hemoglobin in a pregnant woman with an APGAR score of 10'. So, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between hemoglobin in third trimester pregnant women with anthropometry and APGAR score of newborns.
Keywords: anthropometry, APGAR score, hemoglobin
