Renovabio: Innovation and Sustainability at the New Brazilian Biofuels Policy or The Emperor’s New Clothes?
Authors: Lima Arnoldo S. , Fabiano Toni
Published: October 2020

Biofuel policies are an ongoing matter for both developed and developing countries. Brazil, a giant world producer, has a historical roll of regulations and laws that affect the sector. Nevertheless, studies from a political ecology perspective, which pay attention to the impacts of power relations and discourses in political outcomes are scarce. In this sense, we focus on the National Biofuel Policy (Renovabio), launched in 2017, to analyze discursive coalitions as well as perceptions from social actors settle in a biofuel production territory. We sought to understand contradictions between discourses and practices within Renovabio and how they reproduce traditional Brazilian Biofuel policies. To answer these questions, we used Atlas.ti software to support a content and critical discursive analysis in order to detect distinct perspectives, narratives and interests during Renovabio’s implementation. We draw on: i) statements from stakeholders, lobbyists, and Congress members; ii) Bills, Law Projects and ordinances texts from the special commissions and committees; iii) speeches from plenary sessions occurred on the National Congress; iv) Public Audiences contributions; v) articles from biofuel magazines and specialized websites; and, vi) digital platforms from lobbies and interest groups; We also conducted 24 interviews with community members, farmers, local government officials, civil associations, and industry representatives in the state of Goiás, a large ethanol/ sugar-energy production territory. Results pointed to a strong ecological modernization discourse deployed to justify the rapid policy implementation and to legitimize economic incentives, particularly ecological labeling/certification. Renovabio’s goals, speeches and practices are in many senses contradictory and reproduce problems detected in previous biofuel policies that dim legislative transparency, weakens accountability and tramples society participation and representativeness over biofuel development.

Authors: Sule Halima , Gyang Mark , Oyebode Tinuade , Tersoo Margaret
Published: October 2020

Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus from a pregnant HIV-infected woman to her unborn child is one of the ways through which new HIV infections can be acquired. Utilization of contraceptives among HIV-positive women can prevent unintended pregnancies, and the use of dual methods reduces the risk of transmission of sexually transmitted infections including HIV, hence the need to support contraception in them. This study sought to describe the various choices of contraception used by women accessing family planning services integrated with the antiretroviral therapy facility of Jos University Teaching Hospital. In a retrospective study, relevant information was extracted from the records of all women who had sought contraception in the Family Planning unit of the facility from 1st March 2019 – 29th February 2020. The data obtained was analysed using EPI info 7 statistical software. Results: A total of 137 records were reviewed. The most frequent choice of contraception was hormonal implants (61.3%), while the least frequent choice was using condoms alone (1.5%). Less than half (46.7%) of them used dual contraception. Secondary and tertiary educational status, as well as disclosure of HIV-positive status to partner were significantly associated with utilization of dual contraceptive methods (P value =0.0010 and 0.0245 respectively; Odds ratio =5.8199 and 4.3307 respectively). Conclusion: Integration of family planning services with HIV care as a strategy for the prevention of unintended pregnancy is promoted in this facility but there is need to improve the uptake particularly of dual method of contraception. There is also need for inclusion of IUCD in the choices of contraception offered as this method is highly effective, long lasting and has been proven to be safe in well selected HIV patients. Furthermore, screening the clients to identify unmet needs and implementing strategies to meet those needs would enhance the impact of family planning.

Authors: Mhlanga M. , Chidzonga M. , Haruzivishe C.
Published: October 2020

Globally, there has been a heated debate on the effectiveness of community mobilization in improving maternal and child health outcomes. Sustainable Development Goal number three aims at attaining Universal Health Coverage to improve health outcomes to the most marginalized and vulnerable populations. This paper outlines the key lessons that we learnt from the implementation of a novel community mobilization model, the Integrated Care Model (ICM) in Zimbabwe. The keys lessons were:

To determine effect of community models, set parameters of measuring the effect at protocol development.

Effective community mobilization in maternal and child health needs saturation coverage.

Meaningful community engagement is critical throughout the mobilization cycle.

Community Health Workers derive motivation from different things that are cheap and cost-effective.

Community models should be integrated into the mainstream health delivery system for sustainability.

Community models should be integrated into the mainstream health delivery system for sustainability.

Participatory facilitation approaches yield better results that lectures in community health promotion.

Community Health Workers should have comprehensive kits that are continually replenished for effectiveness in early diagnosis and treatment of childhood illnesses

We conclude that integration of the ICM model into the main health delivery system ensures the consistent transference of correct knowledge and skills for better maternal and child health. The Government of Zimbabwe and other developing countries should consider implementing such an approach in their respective community health strategies in order to reduce preventable child morbidity and mortality.

A Psychoanalysis Reading of Mary Turner’s Character in Lessing’s The Grass is Singing
Authors: Herouach Sofian
Published: October 2020

Lessing’s work The Grass is singing sheds significant light on several socio-cultural, political, gender, feminist and psychological issues. Racism is probably one of the most important themes of the work. However, the psychological dimension of this novel is also predominant. This aspect is embodied mainly through the protagonist, Mary Turner. Mary’s troubled experiences and unconscious accumulations cause her much suffering and pain in her adult life. The present study is an attempt to investigate the character of Mary from a psychoanalytic perspective. It aims to shed light on the variables that overlap during Mary’s successive life stages to end up in her being murdered. In other words, the study analyses how the accumulated experiences of Mary’s childhood past, reinforced by present hardships, led her to develop psychological complexes and act upon them to end in her tragic death. This study is important in the sense that it may help explaining numerous psychological disorders by referring them to childhood events and socio-cultural factors. In other words, the present study builds on the following question: to what extent childhood events and socio-cultural troubles could lead to psychological traumas and disorders? Briefly, the study findings proved that Mary’s traumatic childhood and its unconscious painful memories were determinant factors to manifest character aberrations like hatred and aggressiveness. Moreover, the study concludes that Mary’s subsequent socio-cultural pressures intensified her psychological reactions until coincided with the avenging character, Moses who murders her.
Convolutional Neural Network based Intelligent Network Intrusion Detection System
Authors: Bisen Levina , Sharma Sumit
Published: October 2020

Today cyberspace is developing tremendously, and the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) plays a key role in information security. The IDS, which operates at the network and host levels, should be able to identify various malicious attacks. The job of network-based IDSs is to distinguish between normal and malicious traffic data and trigger an alert in the event of an attack. In addition to traditional signature-based and anomaly-based approaches, many researchers have used various deep learning (DL) techniques to detect intruders, as DL models are capable of automatically extracting salient features from the input data packets. The application of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which is often used to solve research problems in the visual and visual fields, is not much explored for IDS. In this research work the proposed model for intrusion detection is based on feature selection and reduction using CNN and classification using random forest. As compared to some existing work the proposed algorithm proves its efficiency in terms of high accuracy and high detection rate.
PROBABILITY MODEL OF POVERTY CALCULATION SUBJECT TO DIFFERENT FORMS OF INCOME TAXATION
Authors: Mikheev Andrej Vyacheslavovich
Published: October 2020

The article highlights a probabilistic model constructed for calculating the number of poor and the total income tax levied on all taxpayers under different income tax systems. There is considered the proportional income tax system adopted in the Russian Federation, as well as single-stage systems with both fixed and variable tax rates, in which individuals with low incomes are exempted from income tax. For these tax systems there have been found the dependences of the expected value of the number of the poor and the total income tax on the tax rate, tax-free minimum, and also on the laws of probabilities distribution of total income and the living wage of an individual. A numerical simulation of the found dependences was carried out. The conditions under which the abolition of income tax for individuals with low incomes reduces the number of poor were determined. Mathematical criteria are formulated with the help of which it is possible to assess the feasibility of moving from a proportional system to single-stage income tax systems.

Authors: Shuravin Alexander Petrovich , Vologdin Sergey Valentinovich
Published: October 2020

The article discusses the problems of energy-saving, which can be solved by using mathematical optimization methods, and the mathematical optimization algorithms related to these problems. There has been given the review of Russian and foreign works on energy saving and energy optimization. The need for solving the problems of optimizing the thermohydraulic regimes of buildings is explained. There is given the mathematical formulation of the problem of optimizing the temperature regime of indoor areas using adjustable devices and two methods for solving the problem: the directed search method and the genetic algorithm. The above algorithms including the mathematical apparatus are described. The objective function is described as the standard deviation of the temperature of the heated rooms. Various options for using the genetic algorithm have been investigated. A modification of the genetic algorithm is proposed, which allows obtaining the best results in relation to the problem under consideration. The results of a computation experiment for the considered optimization methods are presented. The calculations were carried out for a typical building in Izhevsk under average design conditions, taking into account the actual condition of the enclosing structures, the heating system of the building, and heating devices of indoor areas. A comparative analysis of the convergence of the iterative process for various options for the application of the genetic algorithm and directional search has been carried out. It is concluded that the new modification allows us to improve the quality of the genetic algorithm. The dependence of the convergence of the genetic algorithm on its parameters was investigated and a modification of this algorithm was proposed in relation to the problem of optimizing the thermo-hydraulic modes of heated rooms. The study is of practical value in terms of using the proposed methodology of saving heat energy in the system of housing and communal services.Practical value is the ability to use in the housing and communal services to save thermal energy.
SEMANTIC NETWORK TRANSFORMATION METHOD FOR AUTOMATION OF PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS SOLUTIONS EVALUATION IN E-LEARNING
Authors: Fedorov Alexander , Shikov Alexey Nikolaevich
Published: October 2020

The article presents a semantic network transformation method for a programcode into an N-dimensional vector. The proposed method allows automating the quality assessment of solving programming problems in the process of e-learning. The method includes the authentic algorithms of building and converting the network. In order to determine the algorithm in the program code there is a template of this algorithm, presented in the form of a subgraph of abstract concepts of the language in the semantic network, built on the basis of this code. The search for the algorithm by comparing the subgraph of the network with the template network helped to identify the BFS algorithm with a given accuracy: the cutoff threshold for the perceptron outputs is 0.85, which is based on the calculation of accuracy of the single-layer perceptron in the classification of the MNIST base equal to 88%, which confirms the effectiveness of the developed method and requires further research using machine learning methods to find the optimal value of the coordinates of the nodes of the semantic network and templates of algorithms.

Narcissism is a growing issue in modern society. Society values external, objective successfulness, overindulgence in hedonism, and superficiality more than inner emotional life. Individuals in modern society are faced with an inner emptiness, resulting in narcissistic, grandiose fantasies sometimes being the last defensive mechanism against that painful confrontation. Persons with borderline disorder are envious because they lack the strength of the narcissists, causing them to feel even more empty and powerless. When there is trauma and guilt between two groups of people, it is hard to deal with the issues directly and it is easier to take a narcissistic position projecting everything that is negative onto a person with borderline disorder. This creates a hot-and-cold relationship that constantly replays itself. This brings us to the social aspects of the relationship between narcissistic and borderline personality disorder, which is the topic of this article. Creating an environment and culture of forgiveness is a difficult, but not impossible path. It consists of healthy mourning, sublimating aggression, and encouraging good experiences and new interests. Additionally, it is important to encourage socialization and dialogue because this is the only way to achieve the empathy and altruism that we are trying to evoke and which lead to a better relationship.

Authors: Canpolat Elif , Biterge-Süt Burcu
Published: October 2020

Microbial and chemical contamination is one of the biggest environmental problems since exposure to pathogenic microorganisms, such as food poisoning bacteria and their biological by-products, are often associated with disease and allergic reactions. Paenibacillus lautus is an aerobic or facultative anaerobic opportunistic bacterial pathogen, which is found in a variety of sources. In this study, we isolated and characterized P. lautus from Niğde Province, which is a wastewater disposal area and therefore presents a great source of contamination. The bacterial isolate was grown, colony morphology and Gram-reactions were observed. Bacteria were identified by 16S rDNA sequencing analysis, which was performed using DNA samples isolated from pure cultures and amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Sequencing results were compared against known bacterial strains using BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) across databases. Antibiotic resistance against 20 different antibiotics and heavy metal resistance against different concentrations of zinc, copper, iron, cobalt, chromium and silver containing compounds were tested via disk diffusion method. Inhibition zones were examined and minimum inhibitory concentrations were recorded. Our results indicated that P. lautus was resistant to a certain set of antibiotics, while it was sensitive against others. Similarly, the bacteria were resistant against high concentrations of most metals tested. In summary, this study provided the first data regarding the isolation and characterization of Paenibacillus lautus strain from a local source in Turkey, which will account as preliminary data and guide our future efforts to fight against microbial contaminations.

Las agresiones que estudiantes sufren o ejercen repetidamente en un periodo, se considera bullying. El objetivo fue analizar el bullying en tres preparatorias: dos en el ámbito rural (una privada y otra pública) y una en la zona urbana (pública). La metodología fue cuantitativa. Las preparatorias fueron: 1) San Blas y 2) Felipe Bachomo, en El Fuerte, Sinaloa; y 3) Preparatoria Agrícola de la Universidad Autónoma Chapingo, Texcoco, Estado de México. Se hicieron estadísticos descriptivos y pruebas de Wilcoxon con Test de Kruskal Wallis (α=0.05%). Los resultados muestran presencia de bullying con diferencia altamente significativa en causas y manifestaciones. Se concluye que el bullying se presenta indistintamente en lo rural y urbano, público y privado. Sus principales condiciones son: ser indígena, homosexual, la presencia de violencia social, falta de valores y la subjetividad. Las pláticas sobre bullying disminuyen su nivel; el estudiantado fue víctima en preparatoria y secundaria.
Las estudiantes indígenas en la Universidad Autónoma Chapingo y la feminización de la agronomía
Authors: Chávez-Arellano María Eugenia
Published: October 2020

La participación de las mujeres indígenas en la educación superior y específicamente en la Universidad Autónoma Chapingo (UACh) ha cobrado relevancia, y la matrícula femenina se ha incrementado en las últimas generaciones con una presencia de alrededor del 40% del total del alumnado. En Chapingo hay un alto porcentaje de estudiantes de origen indígena (28.5% de estudiantes), las mujeres conforman alrededor del 40% también de ese grupo. El objetivo de este documento es analizar, a partir de experiencias previas de investigación sobre el tema y de datos estadísticos de la matrícula vigente entre julio 2018 y junio 2019, no sólo la presencia numérica de las estudiantes indígenas, sino los factores que orientan sus elecciones de carrera. Se concluye que, en Chapingo, como a nivel nacional, la matrícula de las mujeres se concentra en las disciplinas administrativas, lo cual puede explicarse desde el predominio del discurso masculinizado de la agronomía.

Authors: Haris Muhammad Faisal , Kahtan Muhammad Ibnu , Widiyantoro Ari
Published: October 2020

Malaria adalah penyakit yang disebabkan oleh parasit Plasmodium yang ditularkan ke manusia melalui gigitan nyamuk Anopheles betina. Banyaknya kasus resistensi obat antimalaria seperti klorokuin menyebabkan perlunya dilakukan penemuan antimalaria baru. Terung ungu (Solanum melongena L.) memiliki banyak senyawa metabolit sekunder yang berpotensi sebagai antimalaria. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas ekstrak etanol kulit buah terung ungu sebagai antimalaria terhadap jumlah eosinofil pada mencit yang diinduksi Plasmodium berghei. Kulit buah terung ungu diekstraksi dengan metode maserasi menggunakan pelarut etanol 70%. Metabolit sekunder ekstrak etanol kulit buah terung ungu dianalisis menggunakan uji tabung dan kromatografi lapis tipis. Jumlah parasitemia dan eosinofil dihitung dari sediaan apus darah tepi mencit yang diberi perlakuan ekstrak dengan dosis 0,075; 0,15; dan 0,30 mg/20 gBB. Kontrol positif diberi 3,744 mg/20 gBB dihydroartemisinin-piperaquin, sedangkan kontrol negatif diberi air suling. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak etanol kulit buah terung ungu mengandung golongan senyawa alkaloid, flavonoid, terpenoid, steroid, fenolik dan saponin. Ekstrak paling efektif menurunkan jumlah parasitemia pada dosis 0,075 mg/20 gBB, namun tidak efektif meningkatkan jumlah eosinofil pada mencit. Tidak terdapat hubungan antara jumlah parasitemia dan jumlah eosinofil. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa ekstrak etanol kulit buah terung ungu memiliki aktivitas antimalaria tetapi tidak bersifat imunomodulator pada peningkatan eosinofil.

Published: October 2020

Fraksi diterpen lakton dari Andrographis paniculata Nees (sambiloto) (FDTLS) memiliki kandungan utama andrografolid. andrografolid diketahui memiliki bioavailabilitas buruk, bersifat sangat lipofilik, dan memiliki kelarutan yang rendah di dalam air. Penjebakan bahan sukar larut ke dalam polimer hidrofilik seperti kitosan dapat memperbaiki disolusi yang selanjutnya akan meningkatkan bioavailabilitas dan efektivitasnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan disolusi serta mengetahui pengaruh jumlah kitosan terhadap karakteristik fisik, efisiensi penjebakan dan pelepasan FDTLS dari nanopartikel FDTLS-kitosan. Nanopartikel dibuat dengan metode gelasi ionik-semprot kering menggunakan tripolifosfat sebagai penyambung silang. Nanopartikel dibuat dengan rasio FDTLS-kitosan yang berbeda, yaitu 1:2 (FK1), 1:2,5 (FK2) dan 1:3 (FK3). Evaluasi yang dilakukan meliputi morfologi, pemeriksaan differential thermal analysis (DTA), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), efisiensi penjebakan, dan uji pelepasan. Nanopartikel yang dihasilkan berbentuk sferis dan FK2 mempunyai permukaan paling halus dengan entalpi paling tinggi. Difraktogram nanopartikel FDTLS-kitosan menunjukkan perubahan kristalinitas menjadi lebih amorf. Efisiensi penjerapan FDTLS dalam nanopartikel kitosan sebesar 29,01-32,69%. Hasil uji pelepasan nanopartikel menunjukkan peningkatan kecepatan FDTLS terlarut sebesar 1,6 kali dibandingkan dengan substansi FDTLS. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pembentukan nanopartikel dengan polimer kitosan dengan metode gelasi ionik-semprot kering dapat meningkatkan jumlah FDTLS terlarut.

Authors:   School of Development Economics, National Institute of Development Administration, Thailand, Wattanasaovaluk Kritsada
Published: October 2020

A rapid demographic change to the aging and aged population in Thailand has led to a reduction in the labor force, and an increasing concern about the economic potential of the country. Therefore, a study of older adults who are capable of working, and an analysis of the significance of their work experience is vital for public policy. An analysis of the data from the 2018 Labor Force Survey in Thailand demonstrates that older adults in the age groups of 60-64 and 65-69 who are capable of working constitute 24.2% and 21.2% of the population, respectively. Among these older adults are retirees, who have the highest potential because they are well educated and highly experienced. Multinomial logistic regression was applied to correct the selectivity bias in the analysis of the return on work experience. The results indicate that the marginal return on work experience is 2.75% for high-skilled occupations. There are similar results for semi-skilled and low-skilled occupations (1.99% and 1.73%), however, diminishes more rapidly in the latter than in the former. These findings indicate that the value of experience increases with occupations that require skills, and diminishes significantly in jobs that mainly require physical strength (i.e., low-skilled occupations). This study suggests that older adults with the potential to do so should be encouraged to remain active in the labor market, and that labor demand is enhanced by emphasizing the value of their experience.

Carnophen medicine or called Zenith's drug is a drug that must be used by prescription to get it. Charnophen belongs to a group of dangerous drugs that can endanger human health and safety. Therefore the Charnophen drug has been revoked and returned to the Food and Drug Administration. The effects that can be caused by these drugs, so that there are those who abuse it as a substitute for drugs and many people are currently circulating these drugs illegally, because these drugs are banned from circulating in the market. To protect the public from consuming these drugs, the perpetrator must be accountable for his actions and be given legal sanctions. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of this study show that drug traffickers Charnophen or Zenith can be subject to penalties based on Law Number 36 of 2009 concerning Health. Keywords: Responsibility, Distributor, Carnophen Drug, Circular Permit Revoked
Gender differences in writing complex sentences: A case study of Indonesian EFL students
Authors: Suganob-Nicolau Maria Fe , Sukamto Katharina Endriati
Published: October 2020

This study investigated the Indonesian EFL students’ proficiency in writing complex sentences and explored the gender differences in their writing products. Thirty-eight (38) high school students – 19 males and 19 females – were instructed to write a narrative account of the silent movie, The Pear Film, immediately after watching it. The result of the study revealed that the students’ production of sentence complexity exhibited a sequential degree of difficulty from simple sentence (1 T-unit) to more complex sentences (2 T-units or 3 T-units). Female students had higher frequencies in producing T-units, and they also exhibited a more powerful imagination and creativity in building complex sentences. However, the males outnumbered the females in the production of lexical variety. This indicated that longer sentences are not always directly related to the breadth of vocabulary knowledge.

Background:

Neuroendovascular therapy is now the choice for the management of many neurovascular pathologies, and physicians with endovascular skills are in high demand. In addition to the traditional method of practicing hand movements to learn skills, a new strategy of practicing eye movements to learn skills is also attracting attention. This preliminary study explored the differences in gaze behavior depending on experience with endovascular procedures to be facilitated in future skill training in neuroendovascular therapy.

Methods:

Four physicians with experience of 3-412 neuroendovascular procedures wore eye-tracking devices during coil embolization of swine cervical arteries. Gaze metrics with direct correlations to the expertise of endovascular procedures were explored.

Results:

Gaze metrics with a positive direct correlation to experience included the proportion of fixation durations (PFD) in the screen area and the native images. Those with a negative direct correlation included the PFD in the off-screen area and the roadmap images and the average fixation durations in the off-screen and coil areas. During the parent artery occlusion procedure with detachable coils, more experienced operators preferred to look at native images rather than roadmap images and that less experienced operators tended to look down at their hands more frequently.

Conclusion:

This preliminary study demonstrated the feasibility of eye tracking to identify the differences in gaze behavior depending on the experience of endovascular procedures and may guide future eye-tracking studies in neuroendovascular therapy.
Unruptured internal carotid-posterior communicating artery aneurysm splitting the oculomotor nerve: A case report and literature review
Authors: Inoue Hirotaka , Hashiguchi Akihito , Moroki Koichi , Tokuda Hajime
Published: October 2020

Background:

Although it is well known that internal carotid-posterior communicating artery (ICA-PcomA) aneurysms compress the oculomotor nerve and cause nerve palsy, cases of ICA-PcomA aneurysms splitting the oculomotor nerve are extremely rare.

Case Description:

We present the rare case of an asymptomatic, growing, left-sided ICA-PcomA aneurysm that was confirmed to split the oculomotor nerve. We report the clinical course and discuss the underlying mechanism. The oculomotor nerve, which is an aggregate of multiple fibers, exhibits age-related loss of compactness in the arrangement of its nerve fibers.

Conclusion:

We speculate that injury to the nerve fibers by aneurysmal compression was avoided because of the rare phenomenon of splitting of the oculomotor nerve.

Authors: Shaaban Ahmed Taha Elsayed , Ibrahem Mostafa , Saleh Ahmed , Haider Abdulrazzaq , Alyafai Abdulnasser
Published: October 2020

Background:

Brown tumor (Osteoclastoma) is a rare benign, focal, lytic bone lesion most commonly attributed to a parathyroid adenoma; it occurs in approximately 5% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, and 13% of patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Most tumors are located in the mandible, pelvis, ribs, and large bones; only rarely is it found in the axial spine.

Case Description:

A 37-year-old male with primary hyperparathyroidism presented with an MR-documented T4 and T5 brown tumor (Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica) resulting in an acute paraparesis. The patient successfully underwent excisional biopsy of an expansile, enhancing, bony destructive lesion at the T4-5 level. Subsequently, he required subtotal excision of a left upper parathyroid tumor.

Conclusion:

Patient with primary hyperparathyroidism may acutely present with paraparesis attributed to brown tumors of the spine warranting emergent operative decompression.
