The Education of Gifted Pre-School Children Using Information Communication Technology: the Opinions of Teachers
Authors: Jacynė Reda , Žukauskaitė Evelina
Published: July 2022

The 21st century is identified in the country’s strategic documents as a century of rapid technological, climatic and economic change, and countries must not be afraid of innovation and knowledge of the world through information technology. According to strategic documents, the education of gifted children is also one of the country’s priorities. Gifted pre-school children need to develop and continuously improve their abilities, and the stimulation of these abilities can be enhanced by information and communication technologies. The article analyses the educational possibilities for gifted pre-school children using information communication technology, the characteristics of gifted pre-schoolers, and the possibilities for the identification of gifted pre-schoolers. The study suggests that gifted pre-school children are educated in an individualised way according to their needs, they are identified by their abilities which stand out from their peers, information communication technologies are used to diversify the education of gifted pre-school children, and that the biggest problem educators face while developing gifted children is the lack of information and the lack of communication tools.
Fighting Against Climate Change. An Overview of European Union and Spanish Law
Authors: Ortiz María Lidón Lara
Published: July 2022

The inclusion of the fight against climate change as a target of sustainability determines the need to adopt forceful measures to reduce the effects of climate change. The current situation allows us to see that in the near future its effects will be devastating and irreversible unless drastic measures are adopted imminently. This paper aims to evaluate the legal measures taken through Spanish law, framed in the legal context of the European Union, to assess their real effectiveness. The methods of the research are the scientific methodology of legal disciplines, mainly regulatory analysis and other legal instruments, as well as case law. The results obtained show that some specific actions have been adopted through formal and informal current regulations, but much more could still be done to enforce more drastic measures in the fight against climate change. In this sense, this paper makes some recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the measures taken with this purpose.
The Influence of Corporate Social Responsibility Micro-Level Processes on Meso-Level Performance: the Case of Hospitality
Authors: Ņikadimovs Oļegs
Published: July 2022

The relevance and importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) have long been recognised in the business sector. Previous research has shown that CSR has a positive impact on a company’s financial performance, value, reputation, brand image, customer loyalty, and a variety of other factors. CSR has been studied from a variety of viewpoints, with the bulk of studies focusing on the meso-level dimensions of CSR. The number of studies on micro-level CSR processes has so far been limited, but has recently increased. For CSR to be effective, it is necessary to understand the correlation of the processes on both levels. The purpose of the research is to investigate CSR micro-level processes and their impact on meso-level performance, with additional attention to the hospitality industry. Research methods: analysis of scientific publications, analysis of previously conducted research and results, and other scholarly literature. The results of this study indicate that the micro-level processes of the stakeholder groups involved, mostly customers and employees, have a direct impact on internal and external CSR initiatives and their meso-level outcomes, which might be both positive and negative. The results also indicate a possible research gap, as the number of studies on micro-level CSR processes in hospitality has so far been limited, and the findings cannot be considered exhaustive or conclusive.
The Complexity of Co-Creation Through Corporate Social Responsibility in Business
Authors: Pacevičiūtė Aušra
Published: July 2022

Nowadays, managing co-creation has become an important topic among practitioners and researchers, but there has been little research on addressing and managing the challenges faced by the complexity of co-creation. The paper argues that co-creation should also be understood as a complex, dynamic phenomenon. The purpose of the paper is to summarise and classify extant research into co-creation. The paper reviews complexity as a new way of understanding co-creation processes for corporate social responsibility in business. A review of the literature has established that corporate social responsibility, along with the complexity of co-creation, can produce successful results for businesses.

Stiprinant pradinių klasių mokinių sveikatą ypatingas vaidmuo tenka tėvų vykdomai savo vaikų sveikatos elgsenos stebėsenai ir korekcijai. Straipsnyje išryškinamas tyrimo tikslas – ištirti tėvų nuomones dėl jaunesniojo mokyklinio amžiaus vaikų sveikatos elgsenos stebėsenos ir korekcijos šeimoje. Tyrime dalyvavo 303 tėvai, auginantys jaunesniojo mokyklinio amžiaus vaikus. Atliktas kiekybinis tyrimas, taikyta apklausa raštu. Gauti tyrimo rezultatai atskleidžia, kad beveik visi tyrime dalyvavę tėvai dažnai stebi ir koreguoja savo vaikų asmens higienos įpročius, emocinę būseną bei netinkamą elgesį. Beveik trečdalis tėvų dar nepakankamai dažnai stebi ir koreguoja savo vaikų sėdėseną, laikyseną, kuprinės svorį. Maždaug pusė apklaustų tėvų nepakankamai dažnai domisi savo vaikų mityba ne namuose. Nors didesnė tėvų dalis stebi ir koreguoja pradinių klasių mokinių dienotvarkę bei vaiko buvimo prie ekranų laiką, tačiau dar maždaug penktadalis tėvų tai daro kartais arba retai.
Confirmation of Decreased Rates of Cerebral Protein SynthesisIn Vivoin a Mouse Model of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
Authors: Saré Rachel Michelle , Torossian Anita , Loutaev Inna , Smith Carolyn Beebe
Published: July 2022

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder that results in intellectual disability and, in ∼50% of patients, autism spectrum disorder. The protein products that are altered in TSC (TSC1 and TSC2) form a complex to inhibit the mammalian target of rapamycin [mTOR; mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1)] pathway. This pathway has been shown to affect the process of mRNA translation through its action on ribosomal protein S6 and 4-elongation binding protein 1. It is thought that mutations in the TSC proteins lead to upregulation of the mTORC1 pathway and consequently an increase in protein synthesis. Unexpectedly, our previous study of a mouse model of TSC (Tsc2Djk+/−) demonstrated decreasedin vivorates of protein synthesis throughout the brain. In the present study, we confirm those results in anotherTsc2+/−mouse model, one with a different mutation locus and on a mixed background (Tsc2Mjg+/−). We also examine mTORC1 signaling and possible effects of prior isoflurane anesthesia. Because measurements of protein synthesis ratesin vivorequire surgical preparation of the animal and anesthesia, we examine mTORC1 signaling pathways both under baseline conditions and following recovery from anesthesia. Our results demonstrate regionally selective effects of prior anesthesia. Overall, our results in bothin vivomodels suggest divergences from the central hypothesis regarding TSC and show the importance of studying protein synthesisin vivo.

Published: July 2022

Low-temperature and anaerobic conditions are two major limiting factors in the germination of direct-seeded rice. Sixteen hybrid Indica rice varieties were screened and subjected to two different temperatures and oxygen levels. The results revealed that relative to anaerobic conditons,
low-temperature is the key limiting factor for seed germination. For all varieties, relative to normal temperature (30°C) and aerobic conditions (89.0% germination), the germination percentages when seeds were germinated under anaerobic (normal temperature), low-temperature (15°C)
or combined anaerobic and low-temperature conditions were 64.0, 46.0 and 23.2%, respectively. Under the three latter treatments, the soluble sugar (SS) and gibberellin (GA) was significantly decreased, the abscisic acid (ABA) had significantly increased by 14.6–251.8%, and the superoxide
dismutase (SOD) initially increased by 30.2–49.7% and decreased thereafter by 34.7%. Seeds of 'Shen 9 you 28' and 'Jingliangyou 534' performed better than seeds of the other varieties, with high germination percentages, SS, SOD, GA and low ABA. Correlation analysis revealed that the
germination percentages were significantly correlated with the SS, SOD, GA, ABA and GA/ABA. Elevated SS, GA and SOD, as well as reduced ABA content were thought to account for the high germination of rice varieties resistant to combined low-temperature and anaerobic stress.
Hypoxic preconditioning induces neuroprotection against oxidative stress
Authors: Millán Iván , Corral-Debrisky Marisol , Vento Máximo , Torres-Cuevas Isabel
Published: July 2022

Brain is an oxyregulator organ, however extremely vulnerable to oxygen. Both high and low oxygen concentrations generate free radicals and may cause oxidative stress and damage because of an insufficient response of the antioxidant system. Hypoxic preconditioning (HP) exerts neuroprotective effects and may be a protecting tool against oxygen fluctuations, thus preventing neuronal damage in events such as ischaemia, acute hypoxia, stroke, or traumatic brain injury, among others. This review aims to discuss the molecular mechanisms involved in the neuroprotective action of HP against oxidative stress and subsequently upon the brain under pro-oxidant conditions. Activation of the antioxidant defences represents the first line to neutralize oxidative stress and is characterized by low reactive oxygen species, reduced oxidative damage biomarkers, and increased level of reduced glutathione. These protective mechanisms decrease cell death activating anti-apoptotic signalling pathways and reducing neuroinflammation by the inactivation of microglia and astroglia cells. HP could be considered a new approach to reduce oxidative stress derived damage caused by a great variety of brain pathologies. Despite our intriguing findings, further experiments are needed for a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the neuroprotective actions of HP.

Published: July 2022

Thermal decomposition of the copolymer of polyethylene glycol fumarate with acrylic acid (p-EGF:AA) of two different compositions synthesized earlier was studied in the present work. TG and DTG curves prove that decomposition takes place in several stages. According to thermogravimetric curves it has been found out that for the copolymer with higher content of acrylic acid the decomposition of the copolymer’s sample is started at higher temperatures. It has been shown the shift of the temperature of decomposition’s start to the higher area with the increase of heating rate which is necessary for the detorsion of macromolecular coil. Experimental data processed using graphical methods of Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose and Friedman allowed us to calculate the activation energy of the thermal decomposition process. It has been established that the copolymer with the composition of 21.03:78.97 mass.% has lower meaning of activation energy than the one with the composition of 68.96:31.04 mass.%. As a result of calculation one can see that the meanings found out using these methods depend slightly on conversion. Using Achar-Brindley-Sharp method and the method of invariant kinetic parameters the kinetic triplet of the decomposition process has been found which was used to build the calculated curve. The dependences of g(α) on α using these parameters showed a satisfactory agreement of calculated curves with the experimental ones. One can conclude that the decomposition process of the copolymer of polyethylene glycol fumarate with acrylic acid is well described with of D3 (three-dimensional diffusion) model.

Authors: Mumtaz Jihadin Rasyadi , Harriyati Zeti , Adhiyanto Chris , Hiedayati Nurul , Mimanda Yona , Muniroh Muniroh
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Infertility is a condition which is described by WHO as inability for having children after one year of relationship without birth control. this condition can be caused both from inside and outside the body. One of the major outside factors is exposure to chemical substances, which in this case nicotine substance that came from cigarettes. The CYP2A6 gene is a coding gene for the xenobiotic metabolic enzyme, in this case nicotine which can cause infertility in men. Mutations in this gene can lead to nicotine buildup, increasing nicotine effect thus increasing the risk of infertility in men. The aim of this study was to determine whether there were variations in the CYP2A6 gene in male infertile patients.Methods: The method used was the isolation of infertile and fertile sperm DNA samples (five samples each) which were then amplified at the target DNA (CYP2A6) by PCR method and then sequenced to see the nucleutide sequence.Result: The results of this study showed that there were variations in the CYP2A6 gene that occurred only in infertile patients, heterogeneous mutations in the 7788th(C-A), 8040th (C-T), 7661st (G­-C) nucleutide sequence of the CYP2A6 gene and SNP mutations in the 8250th(T>C), 8409th (T>G/C), and 8428th(C>T) nucleutide sequence of the CYP2A6 gene.Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that there are CYP2A6 variations that found only in infertile male patients.
El discurso sionista-costarricense sobre el derecho de propiedad y asentamiento judío en Palestina (1943-1945).
Authors: Pérez Navarro Ricardo Antonio
Published: July 2022

El objetivo de este ensayo es analizar el discurso sionista-costarricense sobre el derecho de propiedad y el asentamiento judío en Palestina divulgada en el HATIKVA (1943-1945), con el propósito de entender en perspectiva histórica el posicionamiento de la comunidad judía en Costa Rica sobre el territorio palestino y la población árabe. La investigación sigue el enfoque de etnicidad centrado en la “condición de existencia similar” caracterizada por la condición judía, la afinidad ideológica y de las formas simbólicas del colectivo. Además, se parte del análisis de las relaciones semánticas de nivel superior y de la evaluación de las estrategias de legitimación del discurso. Esto ha mostrado un discurso con una lectura teleológica y lineal de la historia judía a partir de la perspectiva etnocéntrica askenazi, donde, se creó un nuevo paradigma identitario mediante la exaltación del ethnos-milenario y la hebraización del territorio palestino como herramienta legitimadora del derecho de propiedad y asentamiento judío en Palestina. Adicionalmente, se identifica una lógica binaria en la que se explota la otredad de lo árabe-oriental, bajo una visión hegemónica y de dominación del grupo ashkenazi sobre el resto de grupos étnicos judíos y de la población árabe.
Memoria histórica del río Ocloro, Barrio Luján, San José, Costa Rica, 1960-2017
Authors: Chaves Villalobos María Del Carmen
Published: July 2022

Barrio Luján es un barrio que se ubica al sur de la capital de Costa Rica, siendo parte del distrito Catedral desde 1868, en este barrio la clase trabajadora encontró un hogar, que a pesar del creciente desarrollo urbanístico de las últimas décadas, preserva características de un barrio obrero, con actividades tradicionales que han sido heredadas de generación en generación. Además, se ha caracterizado por su organización comunal en dos grandes frentes: el desarrollo comunitario y la gestión de eventos de inundación provocados por el río Ocloro. Este río ha sufrido transformaciones a lo largo de los años, no solo por la carga de contaminación de residuos sólidos y líquidos que recibe actualmente, sino también, por las obras de entubado que ha experimentado en algunos segmentos del cauce, para intentar controlar las inundaciones.

Este documento pretende describir el proceso dinámico que ha experimentado Barrio Luján, para facilitar la comprensión de la situación actual del río Ocloro y su impacto sobre el ambiente y la comunidad.
De colegios y conventos de la Península Ibérica al virreinato del Perú. Una aproximación de los franciscanos embarcados durante los años 1577 a 1620
Authors: Rivasplata varillas Paula Ermila
Published: July 2022

El continuo envío de franciscanos a las Indias españolas entre 1577 a 1620 era una prueba de su necesidad para la  consolidación del Imperio, sobre todo en los lugares donde no había tanta presencia de autoridades laicas. Los comisarios fueron, al menos entre los franciscanos, los encargados de traer a Indias misioneros de los distintos conventos y casas de formación de la Metrópoli en la Península Ibérica. El número de franciscanos que llegaron a Indias prácticamente duplicó a los dominicos, sus más cercanos antagonistas. En este contexto se realizara una aproximación de los 40 grupos de franciscanos que vinieron al virreinato del Perú de los 133 grupos, enviados a América y Asia entre 1577 a 1620. Algunos  religiosos de estos grupos se convirtieron en obispos, cronistas e incluso santos.

Análisis jurídico de la implementación de la protesta social en Colombia
Authors: Jaraba Fernández Valentina , Marimón Rodríguez María Paz , Pereira Ortega Duanys Liesel
Published: July 2022

La protesta social es un derecho constitucional que complementa el ejercicio práctico de otros derechos como la libertad de expresión, la libertad de reunión y la libertad de asociación, lo cual da cabida a la existencia de sociedades democráticas y a la consolidación de estas como garantía del Estado colombiano. Sin embargo, en la práctica resulta ser contrario a su propósito, debido que las instituciones encargadas de salvaguardar este derecho atentan contra quienes lo ejercen. Por medio del método documental, basado en la búsqueda de información y en la revisión doctrinal, legal y jurisprudencial, se evidencia la implementación de la protesta social en Colombia. A causa de la pandemia por covid-19, el derecho a la protesta se limitó. Desde que se tuvo conocimiento del primer caso registrado de coronavirus, el Gobierno colombiano adoptó una serie de medidas para prevenir, controlar y mitigar los efectos de salud en medio de un estado de excepción. Sin embargo, el descontento de los ciudadanos frente a las constantes problemáticas del entorno social generó múltiples protestas como mecanismo de rechazo. Esto permite afirmar que no existe regulación expresa sobre el accionar que debe tener la fuerza pública en el marco de la protesta social.

Revisiting Rural Economic Structural Transformation from the Viewpoint of Regional Linkages
Authors:   University of Economics and Law, Truong Cong B. ,   Vietnam National University
Published: July 2022

Regional studies, particularly in rural areas, have attracted great attention from scholars and policy-makers. However, almost all existing literature focused on the growth of these areas while giving little consideration to converting economic activities or economic structural transformation, which plays the main role in sustainable development. Additionally, the studies about economic structural transformation mainly mention the factors, which are changes inside certain economic areas and ignore the outside effects while any geographical area also has spatial relationships. To fill this gap, this study blends the economic structure and regional linkages theories to supply a comprehensive view of the relationship between inside and outside factors that influence rural structural transformation by using systematic reviews and meta-analysis methods. The study’s findings consolidate the importance of urban areas and regional linkages, especially spatial interaction, in rural economic structural transformation. More specifically, this study shows that the motivation for structural transformation of rural areas is emanated from urban areas and is transmitted through spatial flows, which are then absorbed in rural areas. The mechanisms through which the motivation affects rural economic structure are productivity, income, and agricultural land. Based on the review, the study lists several further research questions regarding empirical research of rural economic structural transformation through the relationship between rural and urban areas.
Les ateliers thématiques de Méthodologie en Anthropologie Sociale Critique (MASC)
Authors: LÉONARD Jean Léo
Published: July 2022

En 2010, l’équipe du projet MAmP, de l’IUF (cf. http://jll.smallcodes.com/home.page) mis à profit sa libre coopération avec une institution universitaire de formation des instituteurs bilingues de l’Etat de Oaxaca, au Mexique (la ENBIO et l’association issue de celle-ci, la Red-EIBI, cf. https://redeibi.wordpress.com/enbio/), pour créer une méthodologie intitulée M.A.S.C. (Méthodologie d’Anthropologie Sociale Critique). Il s’agissait d’une méthode innovante, à finalité diagnostique, pour cerner les crises socioculturelles dans les sociétés autochtones contemporaines, en ce qui concerne les questions suivantes : (a) perte de la langue ou substitution sociolinguistique ; (b) inégalités entre genres et grilles d’analyse du stigmate selon diverses modélisations d’Erving Goffman ; (c) préservation des savoirs encyclopédiques sur l’environnement (notamment la faune et la flore) ; (d) mise à plat des stratégies discursives de manipulation, de la propagande et des tactiques d’inversion des causalités en situation de stigmatisation et de spoliation des populations minoritaires par les secteurs majoritaires ou des intérêts privés ou de castes.
La présente contribution décrit ces techniques et rend compte des résultats de divers ateliers thématiques réalisés avec des étudiants d’écoles normales ou d’universités interculturelles au cours des années 2010, mais aussi d’élèves de l’enseignement secondaire communautaire alternatif au Mexique. Il en résulte que la M.A.S.C. est une méthode puissante pour révéler et analyser les crises socio-politiques, mais aussi les contradictions internes des collectifs de travail – ce qui le rend d’autant plus utile comme outil réflexif, y compris pour les chercheurs de la LDS.
La question de la terminologie dans l’enseignement des langues africaines
Authors: FRATH Pierre , SOW Ndiémé
Published: July 2022

L'enseignement des langues africaines est confronté à de nombreux défis politiques, linguistiques, pédagogiques, organisationnels et en ce qui concerne la formation des enseignants. Nous les passons brièvement en revue dans la première partie. Une seconde partie est consacrée à un domaine essentiel, celui de la terminologie, que nous analysons et pour lequel nous faisons diverses propositions. Notre argument est que la compilation des terminologies africaines devrait être confiée à un consortium d'universités francophones, qui sera également chargé de produire le dispositif didactique et linguistique pour toutes les langues concernées. L'objectif sera de développer une pédagogie bilingue français/africain qui sera utilisable dans tous les pays d'Afrique francophone et qui permettra aux générations futures de maîtriser leurs langues maternelles à l'écrit en plus du français. En l'absence d'une telle politique, il est à craindre que la plupart des langues africaines s'affaiblissent et disparaissent d'ici une cinquantaine d'années.
Biocementation promoted by bacteria in concrete recovery and soil stabilization
Authors: Batista Teles Ismar , Aparecida Florentino Ligiane
Published: July 2022

The use of intelligent and adaptable materials has been gaining ground in the construction industry, due to the ecological market demand and the awareness of investing in sustainable techniques, with low energy consumption and anthropogenic emission of carbon dioxide. The development of materials and construction methods, with energy efficiency, adaptable to environmental conditions and non-polluting has become a requirement for the progress of the sector and the future of cities. Thus, the objective of this bibliographic review is to provide an overview of the application of biocementing promoted by bacteria in the recovery of structures and soil stabilization. This technique uses minerals resulting from bacterial metabolic activities, which occur at room temperature, such as microbiologically induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP), to produce cementitious materials with structural functionalities, durability and without harming the environment. Several applications of this process have been proposed in civil engineering, such as the bioconcrete in the remediation of fissures, in the restoration of stones cultural heritage and in the improvement of the physical-mechanical properties of the soil, changing its resistance and permeability. Understanding how this biotechnology can change current construction strategies and solutions, integrating nature-based systems into construction projects, will be discussed in this study.

Published: July 2022

The experiment was conducted to evaluate different Brachiaria brizantha accessions at the Wondo genet agricultural research center to identify species/accessions so as to use the better performing ecotype for wider distribution among livestock producer communities in the country. Seven Brachiaria grass accessions (B. brizantha, 13151; B. brizantha, 13368; B. brizantha, 13653; B. brizantha, 16550; B. humidicola, 9222; B. brizantha, 13379 and B. mutica,) were used as treatments in randomized complete block design with three replications. The overall dry matter yield for B. humidicola, 9222 (5.95t/ha), and B. mutica, (5.61t/ha) accessions didn’t show a significant difference (p > 0.05) but significantly (p < 0.05) lower than all other accessions. Mean plant heights for the accessions were significantly different (p < 0.05) throughout the harvesting cycle period and overall yield with a lower plant height of B. mutica (63.2 cm) while non-significant (p > 0.05) overall mean height was recorded among other accessions. B. brizantha, 13151; B. brizantha, 13368; B. brizantha, 13653; B. brizantha, 16550 and B. brizantha, 13379 accessions outperformed in terms of overall dry matter yield. Further studies on agronomic performances of promising B. brizantha accessions under on-farm conditions and nutritional evaluation involving live-animal experiments are recommended.

Authors: SİPAHİOĞLU Hilal , ŞAHİNGÖZ Merve , SARI Ali , TEMEL Şahin
Published: July 2022

Özet
Amaç: COVID-19 tanısında bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) bulgularının RT-PCR (real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain-reactio) testinden daha spesifik olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmadaki amacımız SARS-CoV-2 virüsünü RT-PCR ile gösteremediğimiz ancak klinik ve BT bulguları ile COVID-19 tanısı konulan yoğun bakım hastalarının demografik, klinik özelliklerini ve mortalite oranını araştırmaktır
Gereç ve Yöntemler: 14 Mart 2020 ile 1 Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında üçüncü basamak yoğun bakım ünitelerinde tedavi edilen, RT-PCR negatif olduğu halde klinik ve BT bulguları ile COVID-19 tanısı alan 97 hastanın, demografik, klinik özellikleri ve mortalitelerine ilişkin verileri değerlendirdik
Bulgular: Hastalarımızın ortalama yaşı 67±15 ve hastaların %67’sini erkekler oluşturmakta idi. Hastalarımızın %82’sinde en az bir komorbidite eşlik etmekteydi ve en fazla görülen komorbidite ise hipertansiyon ve diabetes mellitus (DM) idi. Hastalardaki en yaygın BT bulguları iki taraflı buzlu cam (%61),
konsolidasyon (%23), tek taraflı buzlu cam (%11) görünümü idi. Yoğun bakımda tedavi edilen RT-PCR negatif kritik COVID-19 hastalarımızın mekanik ventilasyon ihtiyacı %54, vasopressör kullanımı %43, mortalite oranı %40 idi .
Sonuç: Yoğun bakımda tedavi edilen RT-PCR pozitif COVID-19 hastalar gibi RT-PCR negatif olan ve BT, klinik ile COVID-19 hastalığı tanısı alan hastalar şiddetli hastalık ve kötü sonuçlar açısından yüksek risk altındadırlar. BT ile tanı alan hastalar da RT PCR pozitif hastalar gibi değerlendirilmeli, korunma
önlemleri alınmalı ve tedavi planı yapılmalıdır.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of metformin on pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures and the neuroprotective effect of metformin on neuronal damage after pentylenetetrazole administration.
Material and Methods: Thirty-five (35) Male BALB-c Albino mice weighing 35-38 g were divided randomly into five groups: Control group (1), Saline+PTZ group (2), Valproic Acid (VPA, 200 mg/kg intraperitoneal-i.p.)+PTZ group (3), Metformin (200 mg/kg i.p.)+PTZ group (4), and VPA+Metformin+PTZ
group (5). The PTZ (60 mg/kg, i.p.) was injected 30 min after drugs injection to induce seizures and seizure stages and behavioral scoring were evaluated. After completing procedure, brain tissues were removed and analyzed with biochemical and histopathological procedures. The hippocampal Cornu Ammonis (CA) 1, CA2, CA3 and DG (dentate gyrus) regions were histopathologically evaluated and oxidative stress markers (total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS)) were measured.
Results: Compare to Saline+PTZ group, metformin administration alone did not affect the onset time of the first myoclonic jerk (FMJ), but combination of VPA and metformin significantly increased FMJ onset time (p<0.05). Additionally, the treatment of metformin with or without VPA reduced the brain oxidative
stress (p<0.05). Furthermore, histopathological assessment demonstrated that metformin administration and the combination of VPA and metformin decreased dark neuron formation in the hippocampal CA1, CA2, CA3, and DG areas (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Metformin was found to be significantly effective in reducing epileptic seizures, brain oxidative stress, and preventing neural damage after PTZ-induced seizure

Published: July 2022

The spread of COVID-19 has resulted in reports of increase in stress, anxiety, and depression across society, especially in people who have tested positive for COVID-19, which affects their mental health and well-being. This article reports a quasi-randomized controlled study conducted in the COVID wards of a hospital to examine the efficacy of add-on yoga intervention in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression in COVID-affected patients under quarantine. The peripheral capillary oxygen saturation level and heart rate of the COVID-19-affected patients were also measured. A total of 62 COVID-19-positive patients participated in the study. The participants were randomized into a control group (n = 31), which received conventional medical treatment alone, and a yoga intervention group (n = 31), which received 50 minutes of yoga intervention along with the conventional medical treatment. Standardized Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder–7 Item, Patient Health Questionnaire–9, and Perceived Stress Scale were administered at the beginning and end of the quarantine period. A significant decrease in stress, anxiety, and depression was observed in the patients who undertook the add-on yoga intervention. There was also a significant decrease in anxiety in the control group, but the intervention group had a larger decrease compared to the control group. Further significant improvements in oxygen saturation and heart rate levels were observed in the group of patients who were practicing yoga, but no significant improvement was observed in the control group. Findings of this study suggest that yoga intervention can be an effective add-on practice in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression levels of COVID-19 patients.
A New Approach in Expanding the Hash Size of MD5
Authors: Maliberan Esmael Verano , Sison Ariel M , Medina Ruji P
Published: July 2022

The enhanced MD5 algorithm has been developed by expanding its hash value up to 1280 bits from the original size of 128 bit using XOR and AND operators. Findings revealed that the hash value of the modified algorithm was not cracked or hacked during the experiment and testing using powerful bruteforce, dictionary, cracking tools and rainbow table such as CrackingStation, Hash Cracker, Cain and Abel and Rainbow Crack which are available online thus improved its security level compared to the original MD5. Furthermore, the proposed method could output a hash value with 1280 bits with only 10.9 ms additional execution time from MD5. Keywords: MD5 algorithm, hashing, client-server communication, modified MD5, hacking, bruteforce, rainbow table.
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS IN WIRELESS POWERED D2D- AIDED NON-ORTHOGONAL MULTIPLE ACCESS NETWORKS
Authors: Do Dinh-Thuan
Published: July 2022

This paper examine how to integrate energy harvesting (EH) to non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks. Recently, device-to-device (D2D) underlaying licensed network is introduced as novel transmission mode to perform two nearby user equipment units (UEs) communicating directly without signal processing through the nearest base station (BS). By wireless power transfer, they can be further operational to D2D communications in which a UE may harvest energy from RF signal of dedicated power beacons (PB) to help EH assisted UEs communicate with each other or assist these UEs to communicate with the BS. In particular, we investigate outage and throughput performance in a scenario of D2D communications powered by RF signal where one UE may help other two UEs to exchange information with optimal throughput.

Internet of Things (IOT) offers a new dimension of technology and information where connectivity is available anywhere, anytime, and for any purpose. IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Network group is a standard that developed to answer the needs of wireless communication technology (WI-Fi). Recently, IEEE 802.11 working group released the 802.11ah technology or Wi-Fi HaLow as a Wi-fi standard. This standard works on the 1 GHz frequency band with a broader coverage area, massive device and the energy efficiency issues. This research addresses, the influence of Doppler Effect using Random Waypoint mobility model on 802.11ah with different user speed are analyzed. The design of the simulation system is done by changing user speed and MCS. Based on the result, it can be concluded that the overall performance of the network with all of the parameter scenarios is decreasing along with the increasing user speed, RAW group, and bandwidth. In the user speed scenario, the MCS 5 with RAW group = 2 and bandwidth = 2 MHz in v = 10 km/h scenario has the worst performance with an average delay which is about 0.065463 s, throughput is about 0.328120 Mbps, and PDR is about 99.8901%.

Statistical-Based Heuristic for Scheduling of Independent Tasks in Cloud Computing
Authors: Al-Qerem Ahmad , Hamarsheh Ala
Published: July 2022

Cloud computing is an emerging and innovative technology that is used for solving large-scale complex problems. It considers as an extension to distributed and parallel computing. Additionally, it enables sharing, organizing and aggregation of computational machines to satisfy the user demands. One of the main goals of the task scheduling is to minimize the makespan (i.e. the overall processing time) and maximize the machine utilization. This paper addresses the problem of how to schedule many independent tasks when using different machines. It introduces two batch mode heuristics algorithms for scheduling independent task in the computational cloud environment, high mean absolute deviation first heuristic and QoS Guided Sufferage-HMADF heuristic. Besides, the paper presented other existing batch mode heuristics such as, Min-Min, Max-Min and Sufferage. The four heuristic modes are simulated and the experimental results are discussed using two performance measures, makespan and machine resource utilization.
