The emergence of ICT has provided an unrivalled opportunity for women to exploit their capabilities to improve their quality of life as well as to contribute to the welfare of the society. Internet has also become a social and communication tool with e-mails being an efficient communication tool. Internet offers new possibilities for networking and participative democracy but feminists are failing to challenge the use of the Internet for furthering more dangerous and discriminatory agendas, including Internet crime committed against women and the proliferation of pornography. Many youth are engaging socially through common social network like WhatsApp, Facebook, twitter, msn, my space and are actually addicted to these Internet social activities, making them vulnerable to Internet crimes. The increased dependency of individual / organisations on cyberspace has led to the increase in the cybercrimes. In India we find there is minimal proper training and education regarding such developments and the ignorance towards these advancements has paved way for cybercrimes. Even the authorities and officers who handle such cases have no proper training and the essential expertise for undertaking cybercrimes against women and girls in particular. India should consider adopting a coactive approach wherein technology and proper legislative framework combine to fight the cybercrime in the society. The threatening atmosphere created by such heinous cybercrimes against women and girls need radical change in technology, behaviour and legal affairs; facilitated by proper education and training. This study examines the problems and issues of cybercrime against women and girls in order to exhibit preventive strategies and means to fight back with the support of cohesive forces.
An Analysis of Cropping Pattern and Crop Combination Regions of
Thiruvarur District (2011-2016), Tamilnadu, India
Authors: Geetha S. , Maniyosai R.
Published: January 2020

India is an Agricultural Nation. Its primary occupation is Agriculture. Today, India ranks second worldwide in farm output. Agriculture and allied sectors like forestry and fisheries accounted for 13.75% of the GDP in 2013, about 50% of the workforce. The crops are generally grown in combination and a particular crop occupies a position of
total isolation from other crops. The studies of crop combination regions constitute an important aspect of agricultural geography as it provides a good basis for agricultural regeneration. Through different regions may have different climate and soil conditions. But each region is Individual to crops. For a comprehensive and better understanding of agricultural system the study of crop combination is of great significances and is essential for agricultural planning. The present study enlights to the crop combinations in Thiruvarur District. Agricultural Geography is very need for rural planning, because high density of population and increasing annual growth rate of population. It is necessary to producer cultivate more crops in the same field. So diversification and suitable combination of crops with short duration is necessary for an increase in the production. The study of crop combination is also helpful for the study of the comprehensive area development planning particularly for the rural areas.
Cat Swarm Optimization Algorithm - A Survey and Performance Evaluation
Authors: Ahmed Aram M. , Rashid Tarik A. , Saeed Soran AM.
Published: January 2020

This paper presents an in-depth survey and performance evaluation of the Cat Swarm Optimization (CSO) Algorithm. CSO is a robust and powerful metaheuristic swarm-based optimization approach that has received very positive feedback since its emergence. It has been tackling many optimization problems and many variants of it have been introduced. However, the literature lacks a detailed survey or a performance evaluation in this regard. Therefore, this paper is an attempt to review all these works, including its developments and applications, and group them accordingly. In addition, CSO is tested on 23 classical benchmark functions and 10 modern benchmark functions (CEC 2019). The results are then compared against three novel and powerful optimization algorithms, namely Dragonfly algorithm (DA), Butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA) and Fitness Dependent Optimizer (FDO). These algorithms are then ranked according to Friedman test and the results show that CSO ranks first on the whole. Finally, statistical approaches are employed to further confirm the outperformance of CSO algorithm.
Linguistic Variation Issues: Case and Agreement in Northern Russian Participial Constructions
Authors: Civardi Antonio
Published: January 2020

This study offers a novel approach to a longstanding problem in Slavic Linguistics, the formal representation of the Northern Russian participial constructions in -n(o)/-t(o). Unlike previous works, the methodological stance adopted by the author focuses on singling out all the relevant patterns of variation and on pursuing a unified explanation for them. The key to the solution of the puzzle is the idea that the participial affix -n-/-t- and the agreement inflections are not just pieces of morphology inserted post-syntactically, but true heads that enter the computation and are able to manipulate the argumental roles of the verb and to check the EPP. The author’s proposal is properly framed in the context of current debate on interlanguage variation.

Subalternità siciliana nella scrittura di Luigi Capuana e Giovanni Verga
Authors: Virga Anita
Published: January 2020

The volume explores the work of two classic authors such as Capuana and Verga under the lens of the postcolonial perspective, accepting the thesis of the Italian unification process as an internal colonisation process. The author investigates the effects of colonisation on the representation of the Sicilian rural life, highlighting areas of ambiguity and hybridism in the writings of Capuana and Verga. The two writers, living between the colonised world and the colonising world, sometimes take part in the realisation of the hegemonic national discourse, sometimes create counter-discourses, in a never definitive alternation that makes the texts of the two Veristi rich and fascinating.
Dal Caucaso al Mar d’Azov
Authors: Pubblici Lorenzo
Published: January 2020

This essay is republished ten years later because, on the one hand, the current geopolitical situation has radically changed compared to then. The Caucasus represents a decisive political and social link between Western societies and Asia, as well as the historical link between Christianity and Islam, today even more than ten years ago. On the other hand, over the last two decades, particularly in the last ten years, scholars have been paying increasingly more attention to the history of the Mongols. Research and publications have multiplied in Europe, the United States, Russia and all those countries having direct or indirect relationships with the empire created by Genghis Khan. Many works published in past years had been confined to the local dimension, because they were written in hard-to-access languages, from Hungarian to Persian, from Russian to Chinese. However, since the beginning of the 2010s, there have been intense translation works of the sources into English, as well as a significant research activity, whose results are often being published in English, therefore becoming accessible to the international scientific community.

Lettere e Rime
Authors: Matraini Chiara
Published: January 2020

The commentary of Lettere e rime which Chiara Matraini (1515-1604) published in Venice with the editor Moretti in 1597, when she was 82, intends to provide an organic analysis of the composition, of the relationship between the genres, of the modalities of the “imitatio” and of the philosophical, social and cultural substrate acting as a background in her last chansonnier. The study also focuses on her stylistic changes over a period of forty years (1555-1597), from the adherence to Petrarch and Bembo’s canon to the end-of-the-century Mannerism, as well as on the counter-reformist twist characterizing a parallel writing of philosophical and devotional nature, which can be seen here between the lines. The investigation also takes the liber of Lettere e rime as a deliberately organic and structured whole in the meeting between the letters and the poems. By virtue of its ‘marginality’ as well, this shows a complex work, emerging together with the many afterthoughts which animated the long, almost century-long, life of the author from Lucca.
Antonio da Borgonuovo. L’ascesa di un notaio a Trento fra Trecento e Quattrocento
Authors: Malfatti Stefano
Published: January 2020

This volume reconstructs the professional biography of a notary from Trento named Antonio di Bartolasio da Borgonuovo between the end of the 14th century and the first decades of the 15th century. The volume retraces his social ascent, with his entrance in Trento’s ruling class of the early 15th century and the advantageous marriages of his daughters with members of the powerful Calepini family, as well as his professional ascent, which would lead him to work for the most important institutions of the city (from the Episcopate to the Municipality of Trento) and to be the trusted notary of the Cathedral Chapter for over forty years. His biography and his modus operandi constitute, given the quality and quantity of the documentation he produced, a significant case study to draw a picture of the late medieval notaries in Trento.

Monaci scrittori San Salvatore al Monte Amiata tra Impero e Papato (secoli VIII-XIII)
Authors: Marrocchi Mario
Published: January 2020

The royal monastery of San Salvatore on Mount Amiata, which, according to tradition, was founded in the 8th century by the will of the Lombard kings near the papal lands, has been the focus of numerous researches in recent decades dedicated not only to some famous codices preserved for centuries in his library, but also to the documentary writings handed down in the Diplomatico, which collects documentation from the mid-eighth century. In this volume, the paleographic and diplomatic interpretation of the writings elaborated by the abbots and the Amiata monks intertwines with the reconstruction of the practices of power management, both in its local dimension and in that of relations with popes and emperors.
Modelling of spectroscopic and structural properties using molecular dynamics
Authors: Muniz-Miranda Francesco
Published: January 2020

The work described here was carried out at the European Lab. for Non-Linear Spectroscopy (LENS) to achieve a better understanding of molecular vibrations employing computer simulations. H-bonds are the main intermolecular interactions affecting vibrational spectra and here it’s shown how they usually induce a (red or blue) shift on the vibrational frequencies of the groups engaged in them, and how this shift nicely correlates with structural properties. H-bonds can be present also in a bifurcated arrangement. In systems such as confined water, this bifurcated configuration has long lifetimes, allowing it to be studied by both spectroscopic and computational means. The computational protocols implemented and adopted here allow for a direct comparison between structural features and vibrational spectra.
Ricordi
Authors: Pitti Bonaccorso
Published: January 2020

Bonaccorso Pitti (1354-1432) was a merchant, politician and ambassador, entrusted by the Republic of Florence with difficult missions to the kings of France and the emperor. He has long been the object of fascination for Italian and foreign scholars. Seduced by his multifaceted, passionate and often self-centred personality, many of them saw Bonaccorso as a precursor, among others, of Benvenuto Cellini and Casanova. His gambling skills, for example, or the autobiographical drive animating many of his pages have been therefore emphasized, at the expense of a global reading of both Bonaccorso’s Ricordi and his personality. It is precisely with the desire to invite readers to an integral and duly contextualized reflection that Firenze University Press has entrusted Veronica Vestri with a new edition of this famous 'family book', with a brief introduction by Stefano U. Baldassarri. The two of them place the book within the genre it belongs to, thus highlighting its motifs and purposes, both characterized by the prudent and tenacious concreteness which is typical of Florence’s Renaissance.
Il giardino riflesso
Authors: Salvadori Diego
Published: January 2020

In Luigi Meneghello's work, the representation of the plant world refers to a subtext of images and symbols: a network of botanical isotopies which transforms into a system while allowing for an alternative and unprecedented reading. From the pages of Libera nos a malo (1963), up to the 'posthumous letters' of L’appendistato (2012), what the author calls «inframondo verdastro» becomes the starting point for the restoration of a literary biosphere, one which is constantly crossed by a double movement: intertextual memory and continuous interaction between Italian, English and the dialect from Vicenza (Italy). Meneghello’s 'reflected garden' thus reveals itself in all its semantic value, and sheds light on a theme of surprisingly great complexity, and also a subject of particular interest for literary ecocriticism.

Il commercio delle pelli lavorate nel basso Medioevo
Authors: Fiorentino Antonella
Published: January 2020

Hides and leathers are undoubtedly one of the main sectors in which the merchant strategies of Francesco di Marco Datini focus more. The numerous accounting records (Memorials and Accounting papers) - supplemented by the very large correspondence of the merchant, in particular the one exchanged between Avignon and the other offices of the Prato business system, and according to the articulated sections of the import and export trade of raw materials towards the processing districts - have made it possible to follow the path of those hides and leathers now transformed into finished products towards the end markets for wholesaling, and in an entirely original way, retail sale. A Catalan or Provencal sheepskin transformed in the Florentine area into the most diverse products for clothing, saddlery and armament, finally a finished product that resumes the sea route to reappear right on the same Spanish or Provencal market.
Margarete Susman e i saggi sul femminile
Authors: Lozzi Giuliano
Published: January 2020

Margarete Susman (1872-1966), an important figure in German-speaking culture, was an essayist, Kulturtheoretikerin, philosopher, poet and painter. Her vast production - almost unknown in Italy - deals with a variety of topics: from literary criticism to interreligious dialogue, from the study of Romanticism to portraits of great personalities from the past and her time. This book investigates the 'feminine' in Susman from two points of view: from a formal perspective, it describes the path of a writer who, from the early 20th century, has moved between poetry and the essay, passing through the comparison with culture correspondence; from a thematic perspective, he examines the essays in which Susman deals with the sexual difference and the relationship between the 'male' and the 'female’.

Avascular Retinal Pigment Epithelial Detachment Treated With Intravitreal Ranibizumab: Three Year Follow Up
Authors: Akram Imran , Akram Amjad
Published: January 2020

Retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED) is a common manifestation in several retinal conditions including age-related macular degeneration1. Based on retinal imaging as well as clinical examination, PEDs can be classified as drusenoid, serous or vascular2,3,4. Vascularised PEDs, as the name suggests, are associated with choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Drusenoid and serous PEDs may or may not have an associated CNV. Anti-VEGF therapy has a well proven role in the treatment of vascularized PED5,6. Less well established is the beneficial effect of anti-VEGF therapy in those PEDs where a CNV is not clearly present. Large serous PEDs were excluded from phase 3 clinical trials such as TAP, ANCHOR and MARINA7,8,9 trials . As such these trials cannot be relied upon to provide management strategies for these lesions.

Development of a rip in a PED can result in permanent damage to central vision10,11.Such a rip is often spontaneous although intravitreal therapy can also precipitate an RPE rip12,13. It is therefore desirable to reduce the height of a PED in order to minimize the risk of a rip. Furthermore a longstanding PED presumably interferes with the nutrition to the RPE and photoreceptors and thus early flattening of the PED or reducing its height was an important treatment rationale in this study. No universally agreed guidelines exist on the treatment of PEDs not associated with a CNV. One study14 looked specifically at the role of the anti-VEGF agent Ranibizumab (Lucentis) in non-vascularised PEDs but the follow-up period in that study was 12 months. The purpose of this study is to look at the long term effects of 3 Ranibizumab injections given in eyes with non-vascularised PEDs . The effects were monitored for up to 36 months and to date this is the longest follow-up published for this sub-set of treated patients.

Published: January 2020

Trauma from electric injury can be of multiple forms, ranging from mild damage to life-threatening conditions like cardiac arrest. Ophthalmic injuries are not uncommon following electrocution. We report a case of post electrocution cataract in a 24 year old male who presented to us three years after the injury. On examination his best corrected visual acuity was 1/60 in the right eye and hand movement in the left eye. Slit lamp examination revealed a white, mature cataract in the left eye and a developing anterior capsular cataract in the right eye. B-scan of left eye was normal. Fundoscopic examination of right eye was normal. Left cataract surgery was done. Per-operatively, the capsulorhexis was surgically challenging due to the adherence of the cataract with the anterior capsule. The BCVA in the left eye was 6/6 postoperatively.

Authors: Wasim Sahira , Ghayoor Imran , Shakir Munira , Zafar Shakir
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT

Background:

Glaucoma is a 2ndleading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Primary surgical procedures include trabeculectomy with or without anti-metabolites, as well as glaucoma drainage devices. Cycloablation lowers IOP by destruction of ciliary body epithelium and stroma, thus reducing aqueous production.

Objective:

To determine effectiveness of micropulse mp3 cyclodiode laser in controlling intraocular pressure without acetazolamide.

Study design: Descriptive case series study

Place and duration of study: Department of Ophthalmology, Liaquat National Hospital, Karachi for 6 months duration

Material and Methods:

In our study total 98 patients of either gender with age 20 to 50 years, following inclusion criteria (Chronic open angle glaucoma, Neovascular, Refractory, Uveitic, Trauma induced glaucoma, and Post vitrectomy induced glaucoma) and exclusion criteria (Primary angle closure and Normal tension glaucoma) were included. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Frequencies and percentages were computed for qualitative variables. Quantitative variables were presented as mean±standard deviation. The mean baseline IOP was compared with mean IOP of 3 months using student t-test. Effect modifiers were controlled through stratification. Fisher exact test was used to see the association of effectiveness with stratified groups. P-value ≤0.05 was considered as significant.

Results:

Among total 98 patients, 63.3% were male and 36.7% were female. Mean age was 48.46±13.39 years. The effectiveness of Micropulse Mp3 Cyclodiode Laser was observed in 85.7% cases. Significant mean difference was found for pre-op IOP with IOP after 3 months for right eye and left eye. Insignificant association of effectiveness was found with gender, age, type and procedure.

Conclusion:

Micro pulse MP3 appears to be a promising, safe alternative procedure with potential advantages as well as high level of effectiveness.

Published: January 2020

Drought stress affects yield formation and quality of sugar beet. The aim of this study was to identify the growing period, in which drought stress has the greatest impact on growth, and furthermore, to analyze the response of different sugar beet genotypes. Causes for a different response should be identified. In pot experiments in the greenhouse, drought stress was simulated by reducing irrigation to 60% of the water holding capacity (WHC) for four weeks at various growth stages followed by re-watering. Growth reduction was greatest when drought stress occurred early in the season: the content of the quality-determining non-sugars was highest, sugar yield and beet diameter were lowest. Responses of the genotypes in sugar yield, but primarily in the accumulation of osmotically active substances differed. Despite re-watering after drought stress the restrictions could not be compensated during growth. The transpiration coefficient of the drought-stressed treatments was only slightly different to the control, because water consumption in the control did not either increase at average air temperatures beyond 23 °C. The strong effect of early drought stress could be attributed to the high growth rates, so that a limited water supply affected yield formation more than at later growth stages. The storage losses of sugar beet genotypes are closely related to damage during harvest and subsequent infestation with mould and rots. Genetic variation for storability seems to be primarily linked to textural properties of the roots such as the resistance against mechanical damage. However, no information is available about the tissue strength, tissue composition and structural organization leading to an enhanced resistance against damage and pathogen attack. Therefore, the aims of the study were the identification of genotypic differences concerning tissue strength of the beet, the relation to damage and pathogen infestation and the underlying physiological basis of tissue strength. Field trials were carried out with 6 genotypes at 2 locations in 2018. The roots were harvested in August and November. After harvest in November, a storage trial was carried out. The root strength increased from August to November. Beets with a high puncture resistance of the periderm also had a firm inner tissue. Genotypic differences in puncture resistance were not affected by the harvest time, indicating that this trait is stable throughout the growing period. A higher puncture resistance of the beet was related to a lower mould growth during storage. Genotypes with varying tissue strength also differed in fiber content (AIR), but the composition of AIR was stable over genotypes. The number of cambium rings seems not to essentially influence the tissue strength of the beet. In the further course of the project, microscopic analyzes will clarify, whether genotypic differences in tissue strength can be attributed to cell size or cell wall thickness.

Lansia merupakan penduduk berisiko tinggi untuk terjadinya berbagai macam penyakit degeneratif, antara lain stroke, hipertensi, dan diabetes melitus. Kurangnya informasi dan pengetahuan lansia mengenai penyakit degeneratif, pola hidup sehat, dan pola pencegahan dini, merupakan penyebab utama tingginya angka kejadian komplikasi penyakit pada lansia. Ketidakterjangkauan lansia terhadap akses pelayanan kesehatan lansia juga merupakan faktor penghambat lansia dan keluarga untuk mendapatkan informasi terkait penyakit tersebut. Tujuan kegiatan ini secara umum adalah untuk meningkatkan derajat kesehatan masyarakat melalui peningkatan pengetahuan lansia tentang penyakit degeneratif di wilayah Kampung Tengah, dan secara khusus adalah (1) memberikan pengetahuan kepada lansia tentang penyakit stroke, hipertensi, dan diabetes mellitus (2) memberikan pengetahuan kepada lansia tentang cara pencegahan dan penanganan penyakit stroke, hipertensi, dan diabetes melitus. Metode kegiatan yang dilakukan pada kegiatan ini adalah ceramah, diskusi, praktek dan pendekatan edukasi. Dari hasil kegiatan penyuluhan yang telah dilaksanakan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan lansia tentang penyakit stroke, hipertensi dan diabetes melitus di wilayah Kampung Tengah dengan perbedaan nilai rerata pengetahuan sebesar 3,2. Selain itu terlihat pada antusias lansia dalam sesi diskusi dan tanya jawab menunjukkan bahwa rasa ingin tahu lansia terhadap kesehatannya cukup tinggi. Pengetahuan mengenai penyakit-penyakit degeratif ini sangat diperlukan agar lansia dapat secara mandiri menjaga kesehatannya.
APLICAÇÃO DE MODELOS TRIDIMENSIONAIS PARA O ENSINO DE FUSOS HORÁRIOS
Authors: Sobreira Paulo Henrique Azevedo
Published: January 2020

Há vários temas astronômicos interessantes que devem ser trabalhados nos Ensinos Médio e Fundamental, nas disciplinas de Geografia e de Ciências. Entre eles, o tema dos fusos horários que é um dos mais importantes para se correlacionar a rotação da Terra e suas implicações nas atividades cotidianas dos cidadãos em escala local, regional e global, que envolvem problemas de diferenças horárias. Para o ensino dos fusos horários nas aulas de Geografia, por exemplo, há representações bidimensionais de mapas temáticos de fusos horários mundiais, nos livros didáticos e nos atlas. Ocorre que os professores enfrentam algumas dificuldades para possibilitar aos seus alunos a visão tridimensional deste fenômeno astronômico, a partir dos materiais didáticos disponíveis nas escolas. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar duas propostas para a confecção de materiais de baixo custo, que possibilitem a elaboração de modelos tridimensionais para o ensino dos fusos horários.
RELEITURA DO CONCEITO DE COSMOGRAFIA: A INTERFACE ENTRE OS ESTUDOS ASTRONÔMICOS E GEOGRÁFICOS
Authors: Sobreira Paulo Henrique Azevedo
Published: January 2020

O conceito de “Cosmografia” está em desuso desde os anos 80 do século XX, mas os temas astronômicos anteriormente abordados nas disciplinas escolares de Cosmografia e de Geografia permanecem nos atuais livros didáticos. O uso do termo “Cosmografia” foi resgatado nesta pesquisa e o estudo de sua ressignificação proporcionou o surgimento do termo Cosmografia Geográfica. A Cosmografia Geográfica é um campo de estudos da Geografia, cujo conjunto de conhecimentos e habilidades é predominantemente escolar. Estuda a interface entre os conhecimentos terrestres e os celestes e lhes atribui significância geográfica. Analisa as relações humanas e naturais com o Espaço Sideral e suas consequências para a sociedade e a natureza.

A educação inclusiva no Brasil, contemplada na Constituição de 1988 e a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (9.394/96), destaca a importância e urgência de se promover a inclusão escolar como elemento formador da nacionalidade. A educação inclusiva diz respeito a todas as pessoas que enfrentam dificuldades na escola. A inclusão deve estar em todas as instituições educacionais (formais e não formais). Nosso objetivo, no trabalho de final de curso de licenciatura, foi apresentar o relato de experiência de mediação aos alunos deficientes visuais do Instituto Benjamin Constant (IBC) no Museu de Astronomia e Ciências Afins (MAST), as modificações e novas propostas para o Programa de Visita Escolar Programada (VEP) através de um aparelho especialmente construído onde se pode perceber o céu na latitude próxima a do Rio de Janeiro.

Neste trabalho são apresentados os principais resultados de uma investigação realizada no campo da Educação em Astronomia, com professores do ensino fundamental de duas regiões do Rio Grande do Sul. O objetivo do estudo foi caracterizar o cenário regional do ensino de Astronomia, estabelecendo um comparativo com o cenário nacional. Esse estudo abordou três questões: identificar os principais temas de astronomia trabalhados em sala de aula, as estratégias metodológicas e quais as dificuldades apresentadas pelos professores ao desenvolver sua prática. Quanto aos conteúdos, encontrouse uma pulverização dos assuntos abordados, embora temas como movimentos da Terra e fenômenos astronômicos tenham sido citados pela maioria dos participantes. Sobre estratégias, são utilizadas principalmente aulas com apoio de recursos bidimensionais, como filmes, textos, mapas e pesquisa na internet. As principais dificuldades foram: falta de formação específica em relação a conteúdos de Astronomia; nível de abstração dos conteúdos, que dificultam sua compreensão, tanto pelos alunos quanto pelos próprios professores. De maneira geral, esses indicadores convergem para resultados já encontrados em outros estudos que investigam a prática docente em Astronomia, em que as deficiências da formação inicial dos professores, ou mesmo a falta dela, dificulta a adequada abordagem da Astronomia em sala de aula.
