Phytochemicals and Antidiabetic, Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Activities of Ethanol Flower Extract of Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & Perry (Myrtaceae)
Authors: Buddhakala Nopparat , Yongkhamcha Butsara , Rattanaloeadnusorn Sukhan , Talubmook Chusri
Published: November 2022

Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr. & Perry is a spice that has been used traditionally for centuries to preserve food and treat for a number of ailments. This research was carried out to analyze phytochemicals and to determine antidiabetic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of 95 % ethanol flower extract from S. aromaticum (FESA). The GC-MS analysis demonstrated the presence of 17 bioactive compounds in FESA, with eugenol (56.17 %) the most active compound. Antidiabetic activity study revealed that the inhibitory activity of the FESA against α-glucosidase enzyme was stronger than the activity of Acarbose, an antidiabetic drug. In addition, the FESA exhibited potent antioxidant activity by inhibiting 2, 2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazylhydrate (DPPH) free radicals higher than butylated hydroxyltoluene (BHT), a synthetic antioxidant. Furthermore, the FESA potentially inhibited the nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells but less effective than Diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The activities of FESA are partly due to the presence of active compounds. The results obtained confirm the antidiabetic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and the traditional used of S. aromaticum for the treatment of diabetes and oxidative and inflammatory-related diseases.
HIGHLIGHTS

The most predominant bioactive compound in FESA is eugenol (56.17 %), analyzed by GC-MS
FESA inhibits α-glucosidase activity significantly higher than acarbose, an antidiabetic drug. The FESA is therefore helpful to delay or possibly prevent the development of the diabetic complication
The FESA exhibits DPPH radical scavenging activity is more potent than BHT, an antioxidant compound
The FESA can provide a novel natural anti- inflammatory agent resource, as evidenced by the inhibitory effect of FESA on nitric oxide (NO) production

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Determinism, "Ought" Implies "Can" and Moral Obligation
Authors: Elzein Nadine
Published: November 2022

Haji argues that determinism threatens deontic morality, not via athreat to moral responsibility, but directly, because of the principlethat "ought" implies "can". Haji's argument requires not only that weembrace an "ought" implies "can" principle, but also that we adopt theprinciple that "ought" implies "able not to". I argue that we havelittle reason to adopt the latter principle, and examine whether deonticmorality might be destroyed on the basis of the more commonly embraced"ought" implies "can" principle alone. I argue that despite what looklike initially compelling reasons why we might suppose that this weakerconclusion is similarly destructive to deontic morality, we actuallyhave good reason to doubt that it has any practical relevance for moraldeliberation at all.
Grounding, Essential Properties and the Unity Problem
Authors: O'Conaill Donnchadh
Published: November 2022

A common conception of facts is as worldly entities, complexes made upof non-factual constituents such as properties, relations andproperty-bearers. Understood in this way facts face the unityproblem, the problem of explaining why various constituents arecombined to form a fact. In many cases the constituents could haveexisted without being unified in the fact---so in virtue of what arethey so unified? I shall present a new approach to the unity problem.First, facts which are grounded are unified by the obtaining of theirgrounds. Second, many ungrounded facts are such that they must obtainif their non-factual constituents exist (e.g. if the property $F$nessis essential to a particular, $a$, then if $a$ exists the fact that$a$ is $F$ must obtain). In this way the obtaining of these facts isexplained by the essence of some of their constituents. I alsoaddress the possibility of facts which are brutely unified(i.e. neither grounded nor essentially unified), and compare theaccount I offer with some of the main alternatives.
Strevens's Counterexample to Lewis's "Causation as Influence", and Degrees of Causation
Authors: Goh Joshua
Published: November 2022

Sungho Choi has criticised Michael Strevens's counterexample to David Lewis's final theory of "token" causation, causation as "influence." I argue that, even if Choi's points are correct, Strevens's counterexample remains useful in revealing a shortcoming of Lewis's theory. This shortcoming is that Lewis's theory does not properly account for *degrees* of causation. That is, even if Choi's points are correct, Lewis's theory does not capture an intuition we have about the *comparative* causal statuses of those events involved in Strevens's counterexample (we might, for example, intuit that Sylvie's ball-firing is *as much*/*more*/*less* a cause of the jar's shattering as/than is Bruno's ball-firing).
Consistency, Obligations, and Accuracy-Dominance Vindications
Authors: Daoust Marc-Kevin
Published: November 2022

Vindicating the claim that agents ought to be consistent has proved to be a difficult task. Recently, some have argued that we can use accuracy-dominance arguments to vindicate the normativity of such requirements. But what do these arguments prove, exactly? In this paper, I argue that we can make a distinction between two theses on the normativity of consistency: the view that one ought to be consistent and the view that one ought to avoid being inconsistent. I argue that accuracy-dominance arguments for consistency support the latter view, but not necessarily the former. I also argue that the distinction between these two theses matters in the debate on the normativity of epistemic rationality. Specifically, the distinction suggests that there are interesting alternatives to vindicating the strong claim that one ought to be consistent.
Yehova’nın Şahitleri’nin Cemaat Yapıları ile İbadet Biçimlerinin Sosyolojik Boyutları

Published: November 2022

Yehova’nın Şahitleri 239 ülkede asgari 8,5 milyon aktif mensubu ve her yıl küresel olarak gösterdiği istikrarlı büyüme ile önde gelen dünya dinlerinden biridir. Sosyoloji yazınında Şahitler ekseri, inanç ve örgütsel özellikleri üzerinden ele alınmış, geniş topluma karşıt tavırları bağlamında “sekt” kategorisi altında sınıflandırılmışlardır. Bu yazıda Yehova’nın Şahitleri’nin cemaat organizasyonları “yerleşikleşmiş sekt” ve “aşırı talepkar din” kategorileri üzerinden tartışılacak, bu bağlamda daha az vurgulanmış olan özgün ibadet biçimleri ile yerel cemaat yapılanmaları arasındaki ilişkiye dikkat çekilecektir. Bu makalede söz konusu boyutlar, Yehova’nın Şahitleri’ni ortak kategoriler altında sınıflandırıldığı diğer tüm topluluklardan ayıran kritik boyutlar olarak önerilmekte, istikrarlı küresel büyüyüş başta olmak üzere bir dizi sosyolojik vasıfları bu perspektiften açıklanmaktadır. Çalışma ağırlıklı olarak cemaatin kendi yayınlarının analizine dayanmakla birlikte, birkaç noktada İstanbul Kurtuluş cemaatinden kaynak kişilerin yorumlarından da faydalanılmıştır.
Türkçede İletişim Fiilleri: Fiillerin Sınıflandırılmasında Hibrit Yaklaşım
Authors: DOĞAN Nuh
Published: November 2022

Türkçede fiiller son zamanlarda çoğunlukla tematik ya da anlamsal olarak tasnif edilmektedir. Fiil sınıflarının, dar anlamda ise iletişim fiillerinin tematik esasa dayalı sınıfları hem sayı hem de nitelik açısından araştırmacıdan araştırmacıya farklılık gösterir. Fiil sınıflarının araştırmadan araştırmaya farklılaşmasının nedeni fiil sınıflamalarının çoğunlukla araştırmacıların sezgilerine dayanmasıdır. Bu tutum anlamları, söz dizimi, üye ve rol yapısı, söz dizimsel davranışları farklı olan fiillerin aynı sınıfta değerlendirilmesine yol açmıştır. Fiillerin gerçek anlam sınıfları araştırmacıların sezgilerine değil daha güvenilir, tutarlı dil bilimsel esas ve ölçütlere göre belirlenebilir. Bugün dil bilimi araştırmalarında tematik esasa dayalı tasnif çalışmaları çoktan terkedilmiş, fiiller genellikle dillere özgü geliştirilmiş dilsel esas ve ölçütlere göre tasnif edilmekte ve hibrit yaklaşımlar kullanılmaktadır. Bu tür yaklaşımlar, fiillerin eş anlamlılık, yakın anlamlılık, alt anlamlılık, çok anlamlılık gibi anlam ilişkilerini de betimleyen, anlam duyarlı fiil sınıflarının belirlenmesini kolaylaştırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada iletişim fiillerinin alt sınıflarını belirleyebilmek için Türkçeye özgü beş (5) farklı dilsel esas ve ölçüt geliştirilmiştir: üye ve rol yapısı, üye yapı yapıları, olay yapı zinciri, söz dizimsel yapı ve sözlüksel yapı. İletişim fiillerinin alt sınıfları bu esas ve ölçütlere dayanarak belirlenmiş, tematik esasa dayalı sezgisel fiil sınıflamalarına nazaran daha tutarlı ve hassas sınıflar oluşturulmuştur. İletişim fiilleri dilsel ölçütler ışığında yedi (7) ana sınıfa ayrılmıştır. Sonra her ana sınıfın fiillerin söz dizimsel yapı ve davranışlarına göre belirli söz dizimsel alt sınıflara ayrılmıştır. Diğer ölçütlerin yardımıyla her ana anlamsal ve alt söz dizimsel fiil sınıfı dört (4) farklı fiil tipiyle etiketlenmiştir. En son aşamada sınıfı en iyi temsil edebilecek prototip bir fiil ve anlamına göre sınıflandırma yapılmıştır. Bu süreç, anlam duyarlı I. tip otuz bir (31) iletişim fiil sınıfını ortaya çıkarmıştır.

Published: November 2022

In this method, the Automatic fake Currency Recognition System is used to identify fake paper money and determine if it is genuine or not. The current counterfeit issue brought on by demonetization has an impact on the financial system as well as other sectors. This strategy, which is comparatively superior to earlier image processing methods, examines a novel Convolution Neural Network approach for the identification of fake money notes through their images. This approach is based on Deep Learning, which has recently shown outstanding results in image categorization problems. Through the use of an image of the fake money note, this approach can assist both humans and machines in instantly recognizing the note. In this system original and fake notes images are used to perform training and classification operation. The proposed system achieved an accuracy of 99.46% and loss of 0.0033 using CNN algorithm.

Published: November 2022

Technological importance has been a great support for making decisions in various fields especially in farming. The main aim of this system is to accomplish farmer's primary needs and to make them financially independent. E-Agriculture is a platform for farmers to promote their products. All farmers who want a specific value for their agricultural products, as well as end customers who require precise pricing for each product, will benefit from this. This would help them improve their daily lives while also aiding those in need by giving meals. Various government-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs) collaborate with them to reach out to people who have surplus food (that they previously squandered) and can share eatable food with the NGO to address their basic requirements while also preventing food waste. The system's purpose is to build a community where all intermediaries are removed and the estimated value of agricultural products is sold directly to farmers. Finally, we provide leftovers to underprivileged individuals through a non-profit organization.

Authors: Al Risi Elham , Zadjali Fahad , Mula-Abed Waad-Allah S.
Published: November 2022

Objectives: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a glycoprotein that belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily, is important for women’s health. We aimed to determine the age-specific reference range of serum AMH in healthy Omani women from reproductive ages to menopause. Methods: This cross-sectional cohort study was conducted among a group of healthy 20–50 years old Omani women. The participants were required to have body mass index < 32 kg/m2 regular periods, no history of chronic illness, polycystic ovary syndrome, or gynecological operation. They were also required to not be using any hormonal contraceptive. Serum concentrations of AMH, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, progesterone, and hemoglobin A1c were measured. AMH-age nomogram and AMH levels were compared between the six selected age groups. Results: The subjects were 319 Omani women aged 20–50 years. Serum AMH concentrations were found to decrease progressively with increasing age. An exponential model defined as √AMH = 479.02 × 0.91age was selected to explain the reduction in AMH with age (R2 = 0.298). The median AMH levels were 26.61 pmol/L for those aged 20–25 years, 20.89 pmol/L for 26–30 years, 19.92 pmol/L for 31–35 years, 13.71 pmol/L for 36–40 years, 9.24 pmol/L for 41–45 years, and 0.68 pmol/L for 46–50 years. The recommended 2.5thto 97.5thpercentiles of AMH level, as reference ranges for various age groups, were found to be: 10.63–55.64 pmol/L (20–25 years), 3.74–61.88 pmol/L (26–30 years), 5.49–47.56 pmol/L (31–35 years), 2.15–48.91 pmol/L (36–40 years), 0.92–41.26 pmol/L (41–45 years), and 0.14–5.10 pmol/L (46–50 years).Conclusions: This study (the first in Oman) determined the age-specific reference ranges of serum AMH in healthy Omani women in the age range of 20–50 years.
Leiomyomatous Lesions of the Colon: Two Case Reports with Radiological Features, Pathological Correlations, and Literature Review

Published: November 2022

Colonic leiomyomatous lesions are smooth muscle tumors including both benign leiomyoma and malignant leiomyosarcoma. They usually occur in elderly and middle-aged groups. They are rare, representing 3% of all gastrointestinal leiomyomas. Descending and sigmoid colon are the most commonly affected segments of colon. Patients are usually asymptomatic but occasionally they may present with abdominal pain, hemorrhage, and intestinal obstruction. Radiological findings for these lesions are variable and overlapping with other diagnoses but usually manifest as large lesions with lobulated margins, extra-colic growth, and heterogeneous enhancement. Final diagnosis is achieved by tissue diagnosis in which immunohistochemistry is used to differentiate them from other types of mesenchymal tumors like gastrointestinal stromal tumor. A complete surgical/endoscopic resection is usually curative with an excellent prognosis in cases of benign leiomyoma. In cases of leiomyosarcoma, post-surgical chemotherapy and radiotherapy are usually needed with a five-year survival of about 50%. We report the radiological findings with pathological correlation and literature review of two cases of colonic leiomyomatous lesions that presented with nonspecific abdominal pain. The lesions were resected surgically and confirmed histopathologically as leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma of the colon, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, these cases are the first of colonic leiomyomatous lesions to be reported in Oman.

Digital Well-Being Scale Validity and Reliability Study
Authors: ARSLANKARA Veysel Bilal , DEMİR Aylin , ÖZTAŞ Ömer , USTA Ertugrul
Published: November 2022

The aim of this study is to develop a reliable and valid scale that aims to measure the hedonic and oedonomic state of happiness of individuals who use digital environments and technologies while using these environments and arising from their use. Digital well-being describes the subjective well-being of individuals in a social environment where digital media and technology are ubiquitous. In this context, a general framework for the link between digital media and technology use and well-being is presented. This framework attempts to identify three important constructs and their interconnections: digital media and technology tools, harms/hedonic happiness and eudonomic happiness. Individuals' digital use story emerges within socio-cultural and technical conditions, shaping environmental conditions. However, it usually causes simultaneous or prolonged harm and benefit. By analysing the studies in domestic and foreign literature, 140 antecedent items were prepared, grouped and transformed into scale statements and 21 items were determined. The scale was applied to 367 digital technology users. As a result of exploratory factor analysis, 16 items grouped in 5 factors and having sufficient factor loadings (>.40) were selected. The construct validity test for whether the scale consisting of 16 items in total measures a general construct (digital well-being) and five sub-dimensions named by experts (personal satisfaction, awareness, safe (responsible) behaviour, personal relaxation, negative emotions) was conducted using confirmatory factor analysis. Spearman Brown, Guttmann Split Half and Cronbach Alpha values were calculated for the reliability of the whole scale and its sub-dimensions. The Digital Well-Being Scale (DWBS), which was determined to be valid and reliable in the analyses, consisting of five sub-factors and 16 items, is intended to be a scale that fills the gap in the literature, can be developed and used. It is important that future studies on digital well-being prioritise identification, measurement and theory development.

When We Fail to Understand Ourselves
Authors: Bergem Ragnar M.
Published: November 2022

The mobilization of Christian discourse by versions of nationalism, na­tivist populism, and champions of "Western civilization" puts new pressure on the question of how theologians should relate Christian resources for imagining communal identity to the general processes of representation in society at large. In this article, I analyze the contemporary crisis of rep­resentation as a problem on the symbolic level of societies: as a crisis of social intelligibility. I do so in order to develop a theological perspective on how churches can respond to these crises and what resources theol­ogy may offer to the larger project of understanding our contemporary political crises. In particular, I suggest that we develop a theological analysis of the limits of representation, which will, among other things, involve attention to the times and places of social unintelligibility.
Sovereignty, Sedition, and Sacrament in the Affair of the Placards (1534–1535)
Authors: Reed Julia
Published: November 2022

In October 1534 and January 1535, placards were posted in French cities attacking the Mass, prompting official backlash and altering the course of the Christian Reformations in France. This paper argues that the re­sponse to the posting of the placards expressed a specifically Gallic anxiety about the popularization of sacramentarian critiques of the Mass and the Eucharist. France's history of sacral kingship and Gallican independence from the papacy were the key contexts and causes of the official response to the posting of the placards, which affirmed the importance of Eucharistic devotion in the political theology of early modern France and transferred heresy prosecutions to secular courts. Focusing on three key responses – the royal processional in January 1535, the empowering of secular courts to prosecute "seditious" heresy, and the defense of the Mass by the Sorbonne theologian Jérôme de Hangest, I argue that the responses to the posting of the placards reflected an understanding and fear of popular receptions of sacramentarian arguments and the threat they posed to the political, social, and institutional cohesion of the early modern French nation-state. The placards both reflected and mobilized a nationalist identification of a sacred and secular nation with the state headed by the monarch charged with protecting the nation.
The Freedom of Religion Is a Divine Idea
Authors: Hoult Jason
Published: November 2022

In this essay I examine the concepts of democracy and religion as devel­oped by Baruch Spinoza and Jacques Derrida. In taking up the argument for the relationship between philosophy and theology that Spinoza makes central to his Theological-Political Treatise, I undertake to show that, in separating philosophy (what he calls natural knowledge) from theology, Spinoza demonstrates that they are equally based upon moral principles that advocate for the autonomy of all human beings. I also in­voke Spinoza's distinction between religion and superstition before turn­ing to Chapter 16 of the Theological-Political Treatise, in which Spinoza demonstrates that political democracy does not have its origin in the state of nature but in the articulation of moral laws that are at once divine and human. Just as the origin of religion is not supernatural for Spinoza, so the civil state does not have its source in the natural evolution of human beings but in a respect for the rights and freedoms of all persons. In developing my argument, I make use of Derrida's concept of religion as well as his notion of the promise of democracy in order to continue to show that the source of both religious concepts and the democratic state in modernity is neither natural nor supernatural but moral. Through­out my paper, then, I point out the relationship between the values that underpin the concepts of religion and democracy for these two thinkers. Consequently, I undertake to show as the overall argument of my paper that biblical religion (as conceived by Spinoza) is democratic in principle in the beginning and that the principles of modern democracy (the rights and freedoms articulated in democratic states, including the freedom of religion) are religious unto the end.
Abraham against the Political
Authors: Pan Lucilla
Published: November 2022

This article is concerned with Søren Kierkegaard's implicit critique of Christian nationalism in Fear and Trembling (1843). By comparing the story of Abraham and Isaac to the stories of three tragic heroes, Kierkegaard unveils the problems of Christian nationalism: that it seeks to system­atize what should not be systematized and that in such a political system, the individual is subsumed under the communal. The example of Abraham – someone who forgoes both his ethical duty to his child and to his promised nation for the sake of his relationship with the divine – reflects Kierkegaard's concerns about nationalism: that humans would be forced to sacrifice their individuality out of a so-called good of the whole. Instead, Kierkegaard praises Abraham because he obeys God instead of the ethical. For Kierkegaard, interpersonal relationships are what are most important for communal and political living. Abraham's faith enables him to preserve his relationships with God and with Isaac because he does not fall into the temptation of the ethical qua universal.

Simulation of a Novel Junction-less Solar Cell Structure Using PC-1D Software
Authors: Dadesh Khaled M. , Alarabi Wafa S.
Published: November 2022

The continues demand for Photovoltaic device improvement has led us to search for new sources of photovoltaic action. For that, this paper proves the existence of other sources for photovoltaic action in addition to the main source which is the built-in electrostatic fild generated through controlled composition gradientThese new sources are uncovered through mathematical examination of a specifi material system followed by the construction of four-layer p-type semi-conducting materials (i.e., without pn-junction formation). First three layers of this specifi material system are fabricated with AlxGα1-xAs with diffrent Aluminum fractions, while the fourth layer is fabricated with Ge with a diffsed back surface fild (BSF) layer to reduce surface recombination velocities (SRV).The complete structure is analyzed using the PC-1D simulation softare, and it shows that the junctionless structure possesses the photovoltaic action with low performance.
Legionella Bacteria Activity investigation in Domestic Water Heating Systems: Tripoli-Libya as a case study
Authors: Algareu Abdulmaged , Abdunnabi Mohammad , Mabruk Maged , Elmaghrabi Adel M.
Published: November 2022

Legionella is a kind of bacteria that has been detected by many researchers in diffrent Water Heating Electrical (EWH) or solar (SWH) systems installed at various places. In the capital city Tripoli - Libya, most of water heater systems used are of electric type. Simultaneously, over 100 solar water heating (SWH) systems provided with electric heaters were installed under the supervision of the Centre for Solar Energy Research and Studies (CSERS) in the residential buildings in Tripoli in the period between (2000 and (2020). Ten hot water samples were collected from the outlet points in SWH systems and 43 water samples from diffrent water draining points at Corinthia hotel and Palm City Residences water systems, for the purpose of legionella detection and enumeration in the systems. A questionnaire was designed and distributed to be filed by the 10 SWH system users whom the ten water samples were taken from. Th purpose was to collect information about the building, the hot water system, and the user’s satisfaction. As the water source is untreated ground water from private wells, analysis of Escherichia coli (E.coli), total Coliform bacteria and total bacterial count were conducted to see whether any other probable bacteria kind is available. According to the results obtained, both 43 samples and 10 SWH samples investigated are free of legionella bacteria, while the total bacteria count for 4 out of 10 SWH systems was less than 60 CFU/g. Ths was due to water temperature not lowered to the bacteria colonisation temperature, and the daily water temperature gained from solar energy was high enough to be more than 55°C for at least an hour daily and maximum daily temperature exceeds 60°C for 80 days in addition to summer time, which is high enough to destroy legionella bacteria
Reverse Engineering and Design of a Windmill Pumping System suitable for Wind Conditions: A Case Study in a Suburb of Tajoura, Libya
Authors: Muhammad Belal Ismaeel
Published: November 2022

Water-pumping windmills are reliable alternatives to provide water in some areas isolated from the electricity network, especially those with poor wind sources that are insufficient to operate wind turbines to generate electricity. The successful design of windmills for water pumping requires careful study of many variable parameters depending on the wind pattern and topography of the site. However, in this study, the researchers relied on the application of an integrated approach between forwarding Engineering (FE) and Reverse Engineering (RE), with the aim of obtaining a 3D CAD model of a water pumping windmill system.This 3D model will be the basis for manufacturing the windmill prototype that will be installed at a pilot site in a suburb of the city of Tajoura within a research project. The FE activities cannot be neglected when applying RE for the successful manufacturing of the windmills. The wind data recorded at the Center for Solar Energy Research and Studies (CSERS) for several years was used for calculating daily and monthly average wind speed and studying the daily wind pattern. The analysis of the collected wind data showed that the minimum and maximum daily average wind speed at Tajoura varies from 2.35m/s to 4.69 m/s, and theannual average wind speed is 3.24m/s. Among the Forward design, activity is estimating the wind resources available at the site for sizing the system to provide the site water requirements of 5 m³/day. From this point on, a commercial water-pumping windmill of 4.88m (16ft and a standard tower height of 12m were chosen to be the target of a RE application to obtain a CAD model. RE is accomplished in three phases: digitizing the component (part), processing the measured data, and creating the CAD model. To adopt the 3D model for all parts, they must be compared with the original scanned data using Deviation Analysis in CATIA. Afteradopting the 3D models of all the system components, the 3D assembly models were created based on the integrated approach between RE and FE. Finally, it is worth noting that the windmills for water pumping could not be manufactured solely by just applying reverse engineering.

خلال الفترة من 19 يونيو إلى 4 يوليو 2021، تأثرت مناطق شمال غرب ليبيا بأجواء حرارية لاهبة ومرهقة نتيجة تأثرها بظاهرة جوية صيفية تسمى القبة الحرارية. تستهدف هذه الورقة تشخيص أسباب حدوثها وكيفية تقييم آثارها البيئية باتباع منهجيات التشخيص السينوبتيكي والتقييم البيئي المتكامل. بينت نتائج التشخيص أن حدوث الظاهرة يرجع إلى تكون نظام من الضغط الجوي العالي المعروف بنمط حاجز اوميجا (Ω)، يتمركز على المستوى الضغطي 500 هيكتوبسكال، تتسبب هذه الوضعية في تنشيط بعض العوامل المؤثرة مثل، انبعاث التيارات الهوائية الهابطة المحفزة لانضغاط الهواء وارتفاع حرارته، انخفاض نسبة تركيز غاز الأوزون الاستراتوسفيري، وصول كمية كبيرة من الإشعاع الفوق بنفسجي إلى سطح الأرض، وزيادة نسبة الأوزون التروبوسفيري. تؤثر التغيرات المناخية على الظاهرة وتجعلها أكثر تكراراً وأطول عمراً وأشد سخونة، ونظراً لارتباط الظاهرة بجملة من الآثار البيئية والتداعيات السلبية، تؤكد الورقة على أهمية استخدام نموذج إطار التقييم البيئي المتكامل (نموذج - DPSIR)، لأجل ترتيب سلسلة مراحل تطور خطورة الظاهرة إلى جانب تحديد أنماط الاستجابة الموجهة نحو مراحل الخطورة لتفادي آثارها وتداعياتها السلبية والتقليل من أضرارها. توصي الورقة بإجراء دراسة تفصيلية موسعة للظاهرة، وتقييم آثارها البيئية، وتحديد المسار الفعال لتوجيه تدابير التخفيف من حدتها، والعمل على إصدار النشرات اليومية لمؤشر الأشعة فوق البنفسجية خلال فترة الصيف.

تحظى دراسات العزل الحراري للجدران الخارجية بأهمية كبيرة، وذلك لما لها من آثار واضحة في توفير استهلاك الطاقة في المباني. وتبحث الدراسة الحالية تأثير التكاليف المصاحبة لإضافة العازل الحراري لجدران المباني على السمك الأمثل للعازل وفترة الاسترداد. حيث تتمثل هذه التكاليف في: تكلفة الحائط الإضافي، وتكلفة اليد العاملة، والتكلفة الناتجة عن زيادة سمك السملة. هذه الدراسة مبنية على البيانات المناخية لمدينة طرابلس الغرب، وكذلك على مواصفات مواد البناء المستخدمة في المنطقة. وقد تم حساب الأحمال الحرارية باستخدام طريقة درجات حرارة أيام التدفئة والتبريد، وكان التحليل الاقتصادي على أساس تحليل تكلفة دورة الحياة. ُحيث أظهرت النتائج ان السمك الأمثل للعازل في الحالة التي فرض فيها سمك ثابت للسملة يساوي 0.6 سم، أي أنه لم يتأثر بالتكاليف المصاحبة، بينما زادت فترة الاسترداد من 14.2 سنة إلى 63.4 سنة. أما في الحالة التي كان فيها سمك السملة متغيراً، فقد أظهرت النتائج أن السمك الأمثل تراوح بين 1.5 سم و0.6 سم، وتراوحت فترة الاسترداد بين 14.2 سنة و 01.5 سنوات وذلك عند إضافة كافة التكاليف المصاحبة. وعليه فإن الدراسة قد أظهرت أهمية أخذ التكاليف المصاحبة في الإعتبار والتي يمكن تلخيصها بإنخفاض من الممكن أن يصل إلى 15 % من قيمة السمك الأمثل للعازل وارتفاع يصل إلى 134 % في فترة الاسترداد.

The degradation of transparent electrodes’ electrical conductivity under environmental conditions is considered as a major failure mode for solar cells’ long-term efficiency. In this paper, AZO thin films were subjected to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61646 test to examine their environmental stability and suitability as front electrodes for solar cells. To explore the interplay between AZO deposition parameters and environmental stability, AZO films were deposited by radio frequency magnetron sputtering at different parameters and without external heating. The conductivity stability evolution upon the testwas investigated via studying the AZO electrical, structural, and morphological characteristics at different deposition conditions. A direct dependence was identified between the samples’ conductivity degradation rates and the samples’ structural and morphological characteristics including grain size, grain boundary density, surface roughness, and compactness. The samples’ resistivity increases linearly over the test period due to both electron density and mobility degradations. Improved stability was observed for thicker AZO samples (360 nm) originating from enhanced grain size, surface profile, and compactness. These samplesmaintained solar cells' applicable sheet resistance of 21.24 Ω/sq (ρ=7.64×10-4 Ω.cm) following the test. The conducted aging studies demonstrated that manipulating the AZO films growth process via optimizing the deposition parameters is an effective pathway for low-temperature deposited electrodes with enhanced environmental stability

RESUMO: Este trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar a influência do diâmetro do folículo dominante no momento da inseminação artificial sobre a taxa de prenhes em vacas nelores, submetidas ao mesmo protocolo de IATF. Para realizar este estudo foi utilizado um lote de 95 vacas multíparas. O protocolo da IATF utilizado para sincronizar estas foi: no Dia 0 (D0) introduziu-se dispositivo intravaginal de progesterona (P4) junto a aplicação de 2mg de benzoato de estradiol por via intramuscular (IM). Oito dias depois (D8) retirou-se o dispositivo de P4 e aplicou-se por via IM 1mg de Cipionato de Estradiol (CE), 526 mcg de Cloprostenol Sódico e 300UI de Gonadotrofina Coriônica Equina (eCG). 48 horas depois da retirada do dispositivo (D10) foi realizado a ultrassonografia transretal em cada um desses animais para avaliar os ovários e medir o diâmetro do folículo dominante e após foram inseminadas. Com 30 dias foi realizado novamente a ultrassonografia transretal, mas para diagnóstico de gestação. Os dados obtidos foram comparados e calculado com o diâmetro do folículo dominante do dia da IA. Os resultados foram consideráveis sobre a taxa de prenhes.

O objetivo desse trabalho visa apontar por meio da literatura a relação existente entre dieta e prevenção do câncer. O câncer desenvolve-se quando os processos normais de controle do comportamento celular falham e uma célula mutante torna-se a progenitora de um grupo de células que compartilham seus comportamentos ou capacidades anormais. Isso geralmente é resultado do acúmulo de dano genético nas células ao longo do tempo. No Brasil, excluindo os tumores de pele não melanoma, o câncer de mama é o mais incidente em mulheres de todas as regiões, com taxas mais altas nas regiões Sul e Sudeste. O câncer tem um impacto direto no estado nutricional dos indivíduos, devido a presença de muitos fatores associados que favorecem a desnutrição. A relação entre alimentação saudável e doenças oncológicas não está presente apenas na prevenção do câncer, mas também no suporte durante seu tratamento. A realização de atividades físicas é classificada como a primeira causalidade que pode ser prevenida. A inadequação alimentar e nutricional é classificada como a segunda causalidade que pode ser prevenida, uma vez que os alimentos possuem uma capacidade de interferência no estímulo ao desenvolvimento ou na proteção contra os tumores. Este trabalho teve como metodologia uma abordagem bibliográfica descritiva e qualitativa sobre a prevenção do câncer através da alimentação por meio de análise crítica da literatura. Concluiu-se então que, existem poucos artigos científicos para em relação aos padrões dietéticos para a contribuição no processo de prevenção de saúde.
