On the possibility of creating a unified law of motion of matter
Authors: Rukhlyada Vladimir , Rukhlyada Oksana
Published: May 2022

In work [1] a hypothetical model of the Universe is given and some laws of objective and subjective interaction of matter are given, preserving maternal chaos and daughter orders. Chaos and order in the Galaxy and the Solar System, as a way of existence of matter, are possible in interactions. A homogeneous maternal environment, as a subject, exists observing a single law of motion of particles, the population of which is organized by chaos. The main advantage of the unified law is the quantitative diagnosis of violation of the law and its restoration by the counter movement of particles. The number of particles participating in the oncoming motion is equivalent to the number of particles that have disturbed the movement of matter, which leads to the restoration of a single law of particle motion. The work shows the restoration (treatment) of the law by the planets of the solar system.

Authors: Ouhmad Nawal , El-Hage Wissam , Combalbert Nicolas
Published: May 2022

"Background: PTSD causes alterations in cognitive functioning like in emotional regulation and the production of cognitive distortions. Objective: To determine how PTSD impacts emotional regulation and the production of cognitive distortions. Method: An intergroup comparison was performed on the 180 participants divided into 3 groups. First group (n=60) was recruited from a psychotrauma center, second group (n=60) was recruited from victim support associations, and third group (n=60) was recruited from the general population. All participants completed a questionnaire validated by the ethics committee, including the PCL-5, LEC 5, CERQ, DES, and EDC-A. Results: Outcomes indicate that individuals with PTSD produce more negative cognitive distortions and use more maladaptive emotion regulation strategies. Furthermore, the production of negative cognitive distortions and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies are positively correlated. This relationship maintains the severity of PTSD symptoms. Conclusion: The results confirm that the PTSD group has the most unfavorable clinical picture, which gives indications on the management to be put in place. Moreover, the presence of the intermediate group remains relevant since it allows us to identify changes in the observed alterations. It would be relevant to extend the experimental design used here to the study of traumatic events that may cause a specific type of disorder."
SELF-DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIORS, SELF-ESTEEM, ANXIETY, AND SOCIAL DESIRABILITY IN PEOPLE WITH PERSONALITY AND MOOD DISORDERS
Authors: Kleszczewska-Albińska Angelika
Published: May 2022

"Personality and mood disorders impede everyday functioning, cause serious problems with relationships and work. They interfere with everyday situations generating problems with adaptive ways of coping with stress. The rigid and unhealthy way of thinking and behaving characteristic for personality or mood disorders creates many problems relating to situations and people. It also provokes many difficult reactions in response to stress, such as self-destructive behaviors. As it is stated in the literature, self-destructive behaviors are related to self-esteem, social approval, and anxiety level. In the presented study the analysis of relations between data on self-destruction, self-esteem, social desirability, and anxiety level was conducted. A group of 100 respondents, including 79 women, and 21 men age 18-60 (M=31.91; SD=8.22) were asked to fill in set of questionnaires. Among all subjects there were 43 persons without any diagnosis, 22 people with mood disorder diagnosis, and 35 respondents with personality disorders. All diagnosis were conducted by psychiatrists based on ICD-10 diagnostic criteria. The test battery filled in by each subject consisted of Self-Destruction Questionnaire, Self-Esteem Scale, State Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Social Desirability Questionnaire. It was discovered that there is a positive correlation between self-destructive behaviors and anxiety. Negative relationship was found between self-destructive behaviors, self-esteem, and social desirability. Additional analysis concerning the link between personality disorder, repression and/ or sensitization of emotional stimuli uncovered that people diagnosed with personality disorders are more prone to high anxiety level and sensitization of emotional stimuli than are the people without such diagnosis. On the other hand, many people without any clinical diagnosis recruit themselves from repressors group."
POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT IN SLOVENIA: TEST OF A MODEL
Authors: Kozina Ana , Pivec Tina
Published: May 2022

"The PYD framework is based on Relational Developmental System Theory, which focuses on the importance of the interplay between individual characteristics and contexts (e.g., school, family, community, society) (Lerner, 2007). In the study, we will put this model through an empirical test using structural equation modelling. We will test a path leading from developmental assets (internal and external assets) to the 5Cs and further on to the positive (contribution) and negative (bullying, anxiety) outcomes. The basic assumptions are that the amount of developmental assets present is related to the PYD outcomes, the 5Cs, and these to the lower level of risky and problem behavior and to greater contribution. We will test three alternative models with variations in the 5Cs part: 5Cs model, one-factor model, two-factor model. The rationale for testing 5Cs as one factor originates in the studies (e.g., Holsen et al., 2017) showing that the associations between the 5Cs and negative outcomes appear to depend on how the 5Cs are treated in data analysis, i.e., as separate Cs or as one PYD factor. Similarly, proofs of a two-factor model can be found in the literature (Årdal et al., 2018). We will use Slovenian youth sample (N = 1982; 57.4% female; Mage = 15.35, SD = 1.21) participating in PYD-SI-MODEL study and a selection of self-report measures: Developmental Assets Profile (Scales, 2011), PYD questionnaire (Geldof et al., 2013), LAOM Anxiety Scale (Kozina, 2012); Adolescent Peer Relationship Index Bully-Target (Parada, 2000), and Thriving and Contribution Indicators (Benson, 2003). The findings show better fit of the 5C model. The study is the first of this kind to test the model on Slovenian data therefore together with scientific added value, the study has direct implications also for practice and for the promotion of positive youth development in Slovenia."
MIGRATORY GRIEF, COPING, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS OF VULNERABLE GROUPS IN MOBILITY IN SPAIN
Authors: Lopez de Leon Alexander , Puertas Susana
Published: May 2022

"The present study aims to analyse migratory grief, coping (focusing on the problem, negative self-focus, positive reappraisal, open emotional expression, avoidance, search for social support, and religion), and psychological distress of people according to their main reasons for migrating. The sample consisted of 454 participants (48.7% men and 51.3% women) aged between 18 and 74 years (M = 35.48; SD = 11.06). The methodology used was quantitative and non-experimental design. The Migratory Grief Assessment Questionnaire, the Coping with Stress Questionnaire, and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale K10 were used. The results indicate a significant and positive relationship between migratory grief, the passive coping styles, and psychological distress, as well as a negative relationship between migratory grief and the strategy focused on the problem. In addition, students are the group with the least migratory grief compared to groups who migrated for economic reasons, insecurity (wars, violence, threats), and sexual orientation. In addition, people fleeing because of security reasons are the ones who use less the strategy of seeking social support compared to the group of people studying. People migrating for economic reasons use religion more as a coping strategy compared to the groups motivated by sexual orientation and educational background. Regarding psychological distress, people who flee because of their sexual orientation have higher levels of psychological distress compared to those who have migrated for economic and academic reasons. The relevant and significant findings related to the variables investigated are discussed."
THE FRAGILITY OF REMEMBERING – DATA FROM CLINICAL CASES
Authors: Staniloiu Angelica , Markowitsch Hans J.
Published: May 2022

"False memories, memory distortions, confabulations, and other forms of memory aberrations and deficits occur in everyday life and – more frequently – in neurological and psychiatric patients. We studied such changes of memories in 42 patients with alcoholic Korsakoff’s syndrome, 18 with clipped or ruptured aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery [ACoA], 41 with a diagnosis of dissociative amnesia, and 52 healthy control individuals. All three patient groups had severe memory deficits. The neurological patients had deficits both with respect to acquiring new semantic and episodic memories, while the psychiatric patients were unable to retrieve episodic memories only. Both the neurological and the psychiatric patients had major problems in retrieving old episodic memories. However, the groups differed in that way, that the neurological patients tried to compensate their deficits by showing numerous confabulations (especially patients from the Korsakoff’s group), while the group with ruptures and repairs of their ACoAs showed a considerably tendency towards producing false memories. The psychiatric patients, on the hand, demonstrated a total lack of retrieving episodic memories from their past and showed no efforts to invent or generate alternative memories. It is concluded that especially the prefrontal cortex (frontal lobes) and its associated structures (mediodorsal thalamus, which is regularly degenerated in patients with Korsakoff’s syndrome) are relevant in controlling proper and accurate retrieval of information. This statement also seems to be confirmed from functional imaging results in patients with dissociative amnesia who show a reduced prefrontal metabolism. For normal individuals, states which reduce alertness (e.g., fatigue, sleep deprivation) and consequently dampen prefrontal control functions, similarly can lead to a heightened degree of fragile memory retrieval."

Published: May 2022

"There are many schools of couple therapy, but none has emerged yet that would clearly dominate the rest. Therefore, it is extremely important to constantly search for new therapeutic practices and verify them in empirical research. The purpose of this study was to check the link between women’s self-esteem and their satisfaction in a relationship and well-being. Attempts have also been made to verify if there is a correlation between relationship satisfaction and well-being, and with the components of love: intimacy, passion and commitment (IPC). There were 116 women, aged 19 to 45, in a heterosexual, romantic relationship who participated in the study. A self-developed questionnaire was used to identify the phases of the relationship, as well as Polish adaptations of tools measuring self-esteem, life and relationship satisfaction. The results indicate a positive correlation between the level of women's self-esteem and their well-being (strong) and relationship satisfaction (moderate). Results confirming a positive correlation between women’s relationship and life satisfaction and strong positive correlations between love components and relationship satisfaction were also obtained. Moderate correlations between self-esteem and its subscales were also established: self-liking and a self-competence with intimacy. There was also a positive correlation of self-acceptance with the sum of the components of love as well as of passion and intimacy with well-being. Additionally, a positive relationship was found between self-esteem and self-acceptance subscale and life satisfaction. The data from regression analysis showed that the predictors of life satisfaction are self-esteem, relationship satisfaction and the sum of the love components. The results of this study contribute to research on close relationships, as well as to the therapeutic practice of couples. They can also have a practical dimension for individual psychological or therapeutic help. There is a chance that by developing self-esteem, as well as intimacy and passion in a client’s relationship, the therapist will not only enable her to increase satisfaction with the relationship, but also with life."
LEARNING HABITS: DOES THE DIGITAL GENERATION HAVE DIGITAL STRESS AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT THE LEARNING OF MATHEMATICS?
Authors: Cunska Aija
Published: May 2022

"Mathematics is one of the most important subjects that students learn at all levels of education. Understanding and competence in mathematics allows to integrate better into the labour market, perform complex calculations and model significant processes. It is mathematics that has been proven to be the most sensitive to compulsory distance learning as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to the state of emergency in Latvia, all schools were periodically closed for a total of 9 months, when the learning process could only take place in the e-environment. In this context, the study was motivated by the question ""Does digital stress exist for the digital generation and how does it affect the learning of mathematics?"" The aim of the study is to determine the initiators of digital stress by using the Stressor-strain-outcome framework and the consequences that students face when learning math remotely. Using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling with SmartPLS, a survey data of 185 students were analyzed. Anxiety, lack of instantaneous feedback, risks of self-directed learning and social isolation were found to contribute to digital stress, which in turn has a negative impact on interest and performance in learning mathematics. The study helped to delve into students' feelings and needs, as well as to develop recommendations to reduce the effects of the pandemic, to manage learning processes more effectively, to gain students' respect and to promote better learning in mathematics."
LOVE AND INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS IN ADOLESCENTS AND ADULTS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS
Authors: Beato Ana , Correia Mariana
Published: May 2022

"Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized, among other criteria, by the presence of repetitive/stereotypical behavior, interests, or activities, and by difficulties in interpersonal relationships and verbal and non-verbal communication with interference in various areas of functioning, such as intimate relationships and sexuality. Preliminary studies reveal that although most wish to relate to other people on an intimate level, several people with ASD tend to isolate themselves and engage in lonely sexual behaviors. Despite the importance of the subject, few studies have looked at it in depth, nor included the meanings of people with ASD about love relationship and sexuality. The main objective of this study is to explore the experience of love relations and intimacy in teenagers and adults with ASD. The design is qualitative, cross-sectional and exploratory. The study included 22 teenagers and adults diagnosed with ASD (63,6% female), to which a semi-structured interview was applied individually, specifically constructed for this study. The interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results highlight the presence of three main themes: Love relationships, Sexuality and Sexual education. Understanding the difficulties and needs of people with ASD will enrich assessment and interventions with teenagers and adults in this area, as well as identifying sex education themes and tools adapted to these populations. The main results show that ASD symptoms negatively affect experiences in love/intimate relationships and in their sexuality. In this way, it becomes imperative to develops a more adequate Sex education program directed to the difficulties presented."

"The purpose of the present study was to describe the stereotypical images of a career counsellor through drawings. The research was based on a sample of Estonian (N=22), Finnish (N=18) and Latvian (N=22) initial teacher training students who participated in international career guidance e-learning course lasting one academic semester. At the end of the course students were asked to draw their images of a career counsellor, and their drawings were analyzed systematically based on the modified version of the checklist developed by Barrow (2000). Respondents’ drawings were scored independently by two raters with the overt features in drawings by a frequency count basis. Findings from present study using the Draw a Career Counsellor Test (DACCT) showed that preservice teachers drawings reflected several stereotypical imagines: the stereotypes of the career counsellor, the client stereotypes, and stereotypic elements of configuration of the working environment of the career counsellor."
HOW INNOVATION DRIVES INCLUSION: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF ONLINE PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVENTION
Authors: Mora Diletta , Girardi Damiano , Grinko Natalia , De Carlo Alessandro
Published: May 2022

"The current pandemic has had a huge impact on people’s psychophysical health with repercussions on the job dimension, leading to high levels of dissatisfaction and fear for the future. Online interventions have become very popular especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, in fact many psychologists and patients switched from face-to-face to online sessions to continue their psychological therapies. The scientific literature has shown strong evidence for online psychotherapy, with this application being used both as an alternative to traditional healthcare and as an enhancement of face-to-face treatment. Many studies highlight that online therapy, and the quality of therapeutic alliance seem to be equivalent in both modalities. There are additional barriers such as public stigma, cultural and language barriers, geographic isolation in rural areas and social isolation, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and online psychology interventions allow inclusion as they enable to involve many people who need psychological support, as well as to continue the psychological paths interrupted by the pandemic. A study was conducted to specifically analyze the implications that online psychology has on today's society. Through a structured interview, 23 psychologists were questioned with the aim to investigate different thematic areas relating to online psychological interventions. A qualitative analysis was conducted using the Atlas.ti software. All participants were part of a platform specifically designed for the provision of psychological services, managed by a structure registered with the NHS. One purpose of the study was to investigate psychologists' perceptions of online psychology rather than traditional therapy. Some limitations comprise the small sample of psychologists which may not be generalizable to the population at large. Further, another limitation is related to the digital divide ? the cultural bias inherent in accessing the Internet and all information and services that exist online as well as the lack of awareness of how the Internet can be used in a functional way. An interesting future discussion for counseling psychologists may be explored: blending online therapy into regular face-to-face sessions. In fact, the scientific literature shows that the combination between these two modalities has potential in secondary mental health care. The existing literature and the study we have conducted methodically highlight the social responsibility of the intervention, which has an impact on the society and is consistent with the key objectives of the 2030 agenda."
MOMS IMMERSED IN THEIR WORK: VIRTUAL REALITY AND MENTAL HEALTH PROMOTION AFTER MATERNITY LEAVE
Authors: Rapisarda Sebastiano , Falco Alessandra , De Carlo Alessandro , Barbieri Barbara , Dal Corso Laura
Published: May 2022

"Mental health, well-being, performance, and numerous other variables in the workplace are frequently managed through a multidisciplinary approach aimed to make the organization more productive. New technology, such as virtual reality (VR), can be adapted to very different needs. It can enhance psychological intervention on workers, making them more effective and efficient. Several studies have analyzed the effectiveness of training with VR in the workplace. VR can be used mainly for: learning relaxation techniques, promoting stress reduction; enhancing personal resources, managing difficult situations; reducing anxiety and depression, both on its own or combined with exposure therapy, which allows to use scenarios and situations that are impossible to implement in vivo. Return to work (RTW) after maternity leave is a common transition in women’s lives that may be a challenge. Several mothers leave their job to devote themselves to their children’s care and development. However, that choice is not always a free and personal decision: it may be based on issues related to work-life balance and employment after childbirth or on supervisors’ and colleagues’ messages about motherhood being inappropriate in the work context. Expectations and responsibilities related to the role of mother are intertwined with those related to the world of work. With the aim of exploring and enhancing the personal and professional resources of working mothers and deconstructing irrational beliefs on the role of mother and worker, a psychological protocol based on VR was proposed to a small number of working mothers currently engaged in the caregiving of preschool children. The four-step VR-based training comprises two sessions focusing on body consciousness, and two focusing on psychological techniques. The efficacy of the protocol is evaluated through the comparison of questionnaires administered pre and post intervention. We assumed that: the reinforcement of personal resources may trigger a spiral of “gain” capable of leading the person to positive outcomes both in the work and in the private sphere; the increase of work resources may activate a motivational process with positive outcomes for health. The limitations of the study are related to the number of participants and to the lack of a control group. Future research could include longitudinal studies involving participants from different organizations. The VR protocol can be a useful contribution to support mothers’ RTW after maternity leave while, at the same time, helping organizations to be healthier and more efficient."
POLYAMOROUS TRIOS IN FAMILY LAW AND CANADIAN SCHOOLS WHAT IS NORMAL FOR STUDENTS IN TODAY’S CLASSROOM?
Authors: Sadownik Stephanie A.
Published: May 2022

"Culturally significant norms and acceptance play a role in what is considered ‘normal’ activities compared to pathology. Recent reports of domestic slavery have occurred in West Vancouver elite homes in British Columbia paralleling earlier accounts in Hong Kong where documented cases of international domestic servants have been mistreated. Confusing messages are portrayed to children with conflicting movies and stereotypes regarding sexual health and healthy work relationships. Agiliga (2013) contemplated if Black women could use BDSM as a way to regain sexual agency; while literature records poly relationships as evident in First People’s culture (TallBear, 2020) and Maori Indigenous story telling (Hutchings & Aspin, 2007). Religion is also a consideration for the acceptance of polygamy (Foster, 2010) and marital discipline (Deshotels et al. 2019); despite a 2014 court ruling in Britain, that “singled out spanking as an unacceptable BDSM activity” (Khan, 2020, p. 367) for unwedded couples. Khan (2020) notes that Family Law is a “sticky area”. In one comparison, Khan (2020) notes “The judge justified the branding of his (the husband’s) initials into his wife’s buttocks ‘because the participants were a wedded couple and the incident took place in the sanctified space of the ‘marital home’ (p. 366). This qualitative study asked stakeholders in the field of education to respond to questions regarding surveillance in schools on personal devices while at school and while using school electronic resources. Participants were asked questions related to their understanding of bring your own device (BYOD) policies at school and away from school as well as their understanding of inappropriate behaviour as it is defined by their school and school board. Various stakeholders responded to the questions from an accountability and personal responsibility perspective, noting a typology of “reporter” for each stakeholder group, noting students seldom reported on each other. Participants were further asked to reflect on their personal knowledge of privacy and personal devices through a background survey that asked stakeholders to select one or more options from a provided list (brand new, don’t know anything, still learning, feel comfortable using it in education settings, have questions, know a little, have more to learn, am an expect, help other people, other). Data collected during the study indicated surveillance is attributed to five themes: well-being, assessment, policy, security, punitive, with the majority of responses attributed to policy, security and punitive and one participant relating the use of surveillance for monitoring well-being and useful for student assessment."

Presento y evalúo críticamente el análisis de las teorías de la conspiración presentado por Quassim Cassam en su libro Conspiracy Theories (2019a). Sostengo que su distinción entre los tipos problemáticos y no problemáticos de las teorías que refieren a conspiraciones resulta útil a la hora de evaluar el fenómeno, pero señalo algunas debilidades en su caracterización, así como en su tratamiento de las causas y los efectos nocivos de la creencia en estas teorías.
The Individual Mandate Tax Penalty
Authors: Kahn Jeffrey
Published: May 2022

In 2010, President Obama signed legislation that significantly altered the healthcare and health insurance markets in the United States. An integral part of that reform is the individual mandate, a provision that requires individuals to purchase and maintain healthcare insurance. Failure to maintain such coverage subjects an individual to a tax penalty. The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of that provision under Congress’s taxing power. Despite the Supreme Court upholding the individual mandate, fundamental questions remain. This Article addresses the question of whether the use of a tax penalty to encourage taxpayers to do something that the government desires is normatively a bad policy. Many commentators have contended that a tax penalty is economically equivalent to the current tax system’s use of deductions and credits to encourage behavior. This Article argues that despite some similarity, there are major differences between the two that should lead Congress to reconsider the desirability of using a tax penalty approach in the future. This Article also considers whether the use of the Internal Revenue Service to administer and enforce a penalty that has little to do with the correct baseline of income will have an adverse effect on general tax compliance. This Article explores the individual mandate tax penalty in detail. It explains the mechanics of the tax penalty provision and points out several ambiguities in the provision that will likely require clarification. It also explores whether the extent of some of the problems in the healthcare system at which the mandate is aimed have been exaggerated. The Article concludes that Congress should reexamine the pros and cons and unintended consequences of using a tax penalty to induce behavior before going down a similar road.
Are Plant-derived Flavonoids the Emerging Anti-coronavirus Agents?
Authors: Mohammad Firdous Sayeed , Patwekar Mohsina F. , Patwekar Faheem I.
Published: May 2022

The current outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has negatively impacted the global health and economy. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) shares many similarities with SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus. It has been identified that the 3C-like protease (3CLpro) enzyme in coronaviruses can be a major therapeutic target for combating these serious infections. Therefore, flavonoids are believed to hold high potential in eliminating the viruses and infections. Flavonoids are polyphenolic secondary metabolites found in plants and have been demonstrated for their notable benefits for health. The antiviral activity of flavonoids has been reported in recent studies. Flavonoids, such as apigenin, quercetin, luteolin, amentoflavone, epigallocatechin gallate, gallocatechin gallate, and kaempferol, are known to be able to fight against coronaviruses by reducing the 3CLpro activity, according to the docking studies. Besides, we also found that several flavonoids have the potential to suppress the inflammatory cytokines, which are generally expressed in the lungs of coronavirus-infected individuals. However, the studies utilizing 3CLpro using various scaffolds of flavonoids need to be performed for better understanding on the antiviral potential of flavonoid derivatives against 3CLpro.

Published: May 2022

In this paper, a flexibility adequacy assessment of the South East Europe region countries is being presented. Novel technology integration is being considered in order to provide more flexibility resources to the power system to absorb more renewable energy. A flexibility analysis based on the International Energy Agency methodology provided an overall estimation of the flexibility needs and resources of the Bulgarian and Cypriot power systems. Additionally, several flexibility indices have been calculated providing indications of the potential that both systems have to serve more volatile renewable energy sources without jeopardizing the balancing requirements for frequency regulation and security of supply. A detailed algorithm has been developed, in close cooperation with the national stakeholders in Bulgaria and Cyprus, in order to simulate the variations in demand and generation for the following years and calculate statistical indices for flexibility, such as the Insufficient Ramping Rate expectation and Flexibility Residual, apart from the traditional Loss of Load Expectation used in adequacy studies.

Published: May 2022

Water contamination is one of the prominent issues in communities. The majority of water contaminants are from household wastewater. The researchers wanted to utilize bio-based activated carbon from various agricultural residues including corncobs, durian husks, tamarind woods, and coconut shells enhanced with Effective Microorganisms (EM) solution to boost the ability of chemical, color, and odor absorption to clean household wastewater. This study was conducted to develop EM-enhancing activated carbon that is appropriate for treating household wastewater and to investigate the effectiveness of EM-enhancing activated carbon in the treatment of household wastewater. The experiment showed the EM-enhancing activated carbon started to absorb water contaminants after 15 minutes of being soaked in household wastewater. The ability to absorb foul odors of EM and non-EM enhancing activated carbon were not different based on the blind-sensory test. However, the EM-enhancing activated carbon from tamarin wood, and coconut shell showed the highest contaminant absorption abilities displayed on Total Dissolved Solid (TSD) and Electrical Conductivity (EC) due to the greater density and the quantity of porosity in the carbon. The treated water using EM-enhancing activated carbon also displays the slowest duckweed growth in the treated water. The further investigation illustrated the highest densities and porosities on EM-enhancing activated carbon from tamarin wood and coconut shell compare to others materials. This indicates the two materials are the most eligible for producing EM-enhancing activated carbon to clean household wastewater.

Diabetic foot complications aren't exactly a hot topic. Diabetic nephropathy, heart attack and stroke aren't as common as diabetic foot complications although they are still the most common complications of diabetes. As a result of diabetic foot infections and lesions, the majority of diabetics are hospitalised and require long-term hospitalizations. In the case of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), which can lead to amputations of the limb, as well as significant social, psychological, and economic effects. A DFU can develop in up to 25% of diabetic people throughout the course of their lives, and more than half of those patients become infected. As a result, in order to avoid undesirable results, infection and ulcer recovery must be carefully managed. Doctors and patients alike should be aware of the latest developments in DFU treatment. An overview of the current assessment and treatment options for DFUs is provided here in order to assist clinicians in making educated decisions, including molecular and regenerative medicine; energy-based antimicrobial therapies; plant extracts; antimicrobial peptides; growth factors; devices; and nanomedicine.

Now a days, Social media has become a very important mode of communication. Billions of people communicate through various social networking sites. People are using these sites as a medium to express their views and opinions. As the faces of the coin, there are both pros and cons by using this medium. One of the major problems is the insulting and the abusive comments that we get on the social media. Hence, the need for good quality automated abusive language classifiers becomes important. Our project “Detecting Abusive and Insulting Comments on Social Media” aims at designing a system for automatically detecting comments on social media as abusive or non-abusive using machine learning algorithms such as Random Forest classifier and Artificial Neural Network techniques (ANN).

We characterize the Lyα halo and absorption systems toward PSO J083+11, a unique z = 6.3401 weak-line quasar, using Gemini Near-infrared Spectrograph, Magellan Folded-port Infrared Echellette, and Very Large Telescope Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) data. Strong absorptions by hydrogen and several metal lines (e.g., C ii, Mg ii, and O i) are discovered in the spectrum, which indicates the presence of: (i) a proximate subdamped Lyα (sub-DLA) system at z = 6.314 and (ii) a Mg ii absorber at z = 2.2305. To describe the observed damping wing signal, we model the Lyα absorption with a combination of a sub-DLA with the neutral hydrogen column density of

and absorption from the intergalactic medium with a neutral fraction of around 10%. The sub-DLA toward PSO J083+11 has an abundance ratio of [C/O] = −0.04 ± 0.33 and metallicity of [O/H] = −2.19 ± 0.44, similar to those of low-redshift metal-poor DLAs. These measurements suggest that the sub-DLA might truncate PSO J083+11’s proximity zone size and complicate the quasar lifetime measurement. However, this quasar shows no sign of a Lyα halo in the MUSE data cube, where the estimated 1σ limit of surface brightness is

at an aperture size of 1″, or equivalent to a Lyα luminosity of ≤43.46 erg s−1. This nondetection, while being only weak independent evidence on its own, is at least consistent with a young quasar scenario, as expected for a quasar with a short accretion timescale.
