Die Armut, der Pöbel und der Staat: Über ein vermeintlich ungelöstes Problem der Hegel'schen Philosophie
Authors: Kobe Zdravko
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Rabble, it is commonly argued, indicates one of the very few places in Hegel's system where he produced an inevitable contradiction that he was, however, unable to “sublate.” In this paper, I purport to prove this narrative wrong. Relying on a close reading of Hegel's reasoning in his book and his lectures on the philosophy of right, I first attempt to determine what the problem of rabble consists in: I demonstrate that Hegel was perfectly aware of the mechanism of necessary impoverishment in (unrestricted) civil society, and that in his view the poor were actually justified in developing a rabble mentality. I then show, on the one hand, that civil society was from the very beginning conceived as self-sublating, and on the other, that Hegel was, at least in principle, able to find a solution for the rabble: the state.
Thomas Mores Utopia als Philosophie: Plädoyer für eine dialogische Lesart
Authors: Jeschke Thomas
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Thomas More’s Utopia is an iridescent and enigmatic work which evades a consistent interpretation. Throughout the entire dialogue, many contradictory positions are argued for, and More’s play with telling names makes it difficult to determine which person’s position we should embrace. In order to evade these problems, the paper suggests reading More’s work as a philosophical dialogue with the reader, in which More invites us to evaluate the different positions contained in the work against our own back- ground. In this sense, More’s Utopia is a proper piece of philosophy.
Braucht die Moralphilosophie den Begriff der Verpflichtung? Über Anscombes Kritik an der Moralphilosophie der Moderne
Authors: Schadow Steffi
Published: September 2022

Abstract. In her much debated article Modern Moral Philosophy Elizabeth Anscombe is known to argue that we are best advised to abandon the concept of moral obligation from moral discourse. This paper offers a step by step analysis of her argument against the concept of moral obligation by considering all of her relevant writings in moral philosophy and action theory. In doing so, it discusses her critical account of morality which turns out to be based on a non-homogeneous theory of practical normativity that has fundamental roots in Modern Moral Philosophy. Finally, it appears that Anscombe’s arguments against central concepts of modern moral philosophy show inner inconsistencies and weaknesses that give also reason to criticize her general philosophical position.

Authors: Al-Hadeithi Zeina S M , Jasim Saade Abdalkareem , Salahldina Omar Dheyauldeen
Published: September 2022

Background: Cervical cancer (CC) is linked to human papillomavirus (HPV). Globally, the prevalence and genotype distribution differ significantly. Objectives: The goal of this study was to find HPV 14, 16, 18, and 45 genotypes in urogenital swabs by using a real-time PCR amplification test for quantitative genotyping of HPV DNA types 16, 18, and 45 and for simultaneous quantitative detection of HPV DNA types 31, 33, 35, 39, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68, for a total of 14 HPV genotypes. Methods: This case-control study included 86 cervical swabs from Iraqi women referred by the Al-Yarmook teaching hospital in Baghdad, Iraq. The ages of cases varied from 23 to 70 years and specimens were obtained between March 2020 and March 2021. The DNA was extracted for molecular assay. Fourteen HPV genotypes were detected using real-time PCR (16, 18, 45, 31, 33, 35, 39, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68). The detection protocol was based on the commercial Kit V31-100/F FRT as follows. For each sample reaction, 10х(N+1) μL of PCR-mix-1-FRT HPV 14 was added into a new tube. Then, 5.0х(N+1) μL of PCR-mix-2 buffer and 0.5х(N+1) μL of TaqF DNA polymerase were added. The tubes were vortexed. Finally, the prepared tubes added 10 μL of DNA samples from test or control samples. The statistical analysis was conducted using the statistical package for SPSS and Excel 2016 software. Results: Genotype 16 had the highest frequency, followed by genotypes 45 (22%), 18 (14%), 35 and 59 (6%), 52 and 58 (4%), and 31 (2%), while genotypes 33, 39, 51, 56, 66, and 68 had the lowest frequency (1%). Conclusions: The real-time PCR was efficient for detecting and genotyping HPV-DNA and could help in earlier detection and clinical care of HPV-infected patients by reducing costs and workload.

Dannelsens værdifylde
Authors: Wiberg Merete
Published: September 2022

The paper discusses how theories of ‘Bildung’ can contribute to the pedagogical professions. The point of departure is to view Bildung as a concept with a content of values which contributes to discussions about norms and value-orientation in education. Inspired by the philosopher Nicolai Hartmann, the paper introduces ‘fullness of value’ [Wertefülle] as an educational and analytical concept that helps to support a systematic study of value content in educational theory and practice. In order to provide an example, the paper offers a brief systematic analysis of the Bildung theorist Dietrich Benner’s concept of the non-affirmative. Theories of Bildung are not to be translated and directly applied in educational practice but provide a co- and counterplay to this. Theories of Bildung contribute to draft models of coherent educational views. In this way, the theories of Bildung propose, give the reason for and discuss the ideals of Bildung for future education in order to create reflection and discussion in public and the pedagogical profession.
Free Berlin
Authors: Smith Briana J.
Published: September 2022

An alternative history of art in Berlin, detaching artistic innovation from art world narratives and connecting it instead to collective creativity and social solidarity.

In pre- and post-reunification Berlin, socially engaged artists championed collective art making and creativity over individual advancement, transforming urban space and civic life in the process. During the Cold War, the city's state of exception invited artists on both sides of the Wall to detour from artistic tradition; post-Wall, art became a tool of resistance against the orthodoxy of economic growth. In Free Berlin, Briana Smith explores the everyday peculiarities, collective joys, and grassroots provocations of experimental artists in late Cold War Berlin and their legacy in today's city.

These artists worked intentionally outside the art market, believing that art should be everywhere, freed from its confinement in museums and galleries. They used art as a way to imagine new forms of social and creative life. Smith introduces little-known artists including West Berlin feminist collective Black Chocolate, the artist duo paint the town red (p.t.t.r), and the Office for Unusual Events, creators of satirical urban political theater, as well as East Berlin action art and urban interventionists Erhard Monden, Kurt Buchwald, and others. Artists and artist-led urban coalitions in 1990s Berlin carried on the participatory spirit of the late Cold War, with more overt forms of protest and collaboration at the neighborhood level. The temperament lives on in twenty-first century Berlin, animating artists' resolve to work outside the market and citizens' spirited defenses of green spaces, affordable housing, and collectivist projects.

With Free Berlin, Smith offers an alternative history of art in Berlin, detaching artistic innovation from art world narratives and connecting it instead to Berliners' historic embrace of care, solidarity, and cooperation.
On the Trail of Blackbody Radiation
Authors: Lemons Don S. , Shanahan William R. , Buchholtz Louis J.
Published: September 2022

An account of Max Planck's construction of his theory of blackbody radiation, summarizing the established physics on which he drew.

In the last year of the nineteenth century, Max Planck constructed a theory of blackbody radiation—the radiation emitted and absorbed by nonreflective bodies in thermal equilibrium with one another—and his work ushered in the quantum revolution in physics. In this book, three physicists trace Planck's discovery. They follow the trail of Planck's thinking by constructing a textbook of sorts that summarizes the established physics on which he drew. By offering this account, the authors explore not only how Planck deployed his considerable knowledge of the physics of his era but also how Einstein and others used and interpreted Planck's work.

Planck did not set out to lay the foundation for the quantum revolution but to study a universal phenomenon for which empirical evidence had been accumulating since the late 1850s. The authors explain the nineteenth-century concepts that informed Planck's discovery, including electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics. In addition, the book offers the first translations of important papers by Ludwig Boltzmann and Wilhelm Wien on which Planck's work depended.
Analyzing perceptions of a global event using CNN-LSTM deep learning approach: the case of Hajj 1442 (2021)
Authors: Shambour Mohd Khaled
Published: September 2022

Hajj (pilgrimage) is a unique social and religious event in which many Muslims worldwide come to perform Hajj. More than two million people travel to Makkah, Saudi Arabia annually to perform various Hajj rituals for four to five days. However, given the recent outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and its variants, Hajj in the last 2 years 2020–2021 has been different because pilgrims were limited down to a few thousand to control and prevent the spread of COVID-19. This study employs a deep learning approach to investigate the impressions of pilgrims and others from within and outside the Makkah community during the 1442 AH Hajj season. Approximately 4,300 Hajj-related posts and interactions were collected from social media channels, such as Twitter and YouTube, during the Hajj season Dhul-Hijjah 1–13, 1442 (July 11–23, 2021). Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) deep learning methods were utilized to investigate people’s impressions from the collected data. The CNN-LSTM approach showed superior performance results compared with other widely used classification models in terms of F-score and accuracy. Findings revealed significantly positive sentiment rates for tweets collected from Mina and Arafa holy sites, with ratios exceeding 4 out of 5. Furthermore, the sentiment analysis (SA) rates for tweets about Hajj and pilgrims varied during the days of Hajj. Some were classified as positive tweets, such as describing joy at receiving the days of Hajj, and some were negative tweets, such as expressing the impression about the hot weather and the level of satisfaction for some services. Moreover, the SA of comments on several YouTube videos revealed positive classified comments, including praise and supplications, and negative classified comments, such as expressing regret that the Hajj was limited to a small number of pilgrims.

The people actively participate in it and most people even consider it as their career option. Although these sports has both positive and negative effects on the life of an individual. Aim: To investigate the relationship between E-sports, anxiety, aggression, and psychological well-being among adolescents and young males and females. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Delhi and National Capital Region (Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad), from November 2020 to April 2021, included 102 participants within the age range of 16-27 years. The quantitative research method was adopted using descriptive survey method. The following questionnaire were used i.e. Problematic Online Gaming Questionnaire ShortForm (POGQ-SF) Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A); Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ) and Psychological Wellbeing scale-Short Form (PWB-SF). All these questionnaires were free to use. Pearson’s correlation method was used to assess the correlation between E-sports, anxiety, aggression, and psychological well-being and the p-value of 0.01 was considered as statistically significant. Results: There was no significant relationship found between eSports and anxiety among participants (r-value=0.112, p-value>0.01). There was a significant positive correlation between eSports and aggression (r-value=0.377; p-value<0.01). Which indicated that participants with high level of problematic gaming had high level of aggression. Also, a significant negative correlation was found between eSports and psychological wellbeing (r-value=-0.259; p-value<0.01). Conclusion: From the present study, it can be concluded that participants who scored higher in problematic E-sports had higher level of aggression and poorer psychological well-being.
Comparative Study of Efficacy of Kutaja Beeja Churna and Ayurvedic Herbal Compound in the Management of Mutrashmari (Urolithiasis)- A Research Protocol
Authors: Kumar Akshay , Dasar Devyani
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Acharya Sushruta, the father of surgery has included Ashmari in Astamahagada due to its fatal nature. “Ashman” the Sanskrit word, literally means “structure resembling stone”. While the word ‘Ari' means ‘enemy,' so it refers to a sickness in which stones grow and inflict intense pain, as if caused by an adversary. Mutrashmari can be associated with Urolithiasis which is the third most common affliction of the urinary tract. Acharya Sushruta has described medicinal treatment in the initial stage of the disease and advised that surgery to be done only on failure of conservative treatment and when death becomes inevitable if not operated. In Yogaratnakar, Ashmari chikitsa, Kutaja is described to be more effective in the treatment of Mutrashmari. Need of study: In modern medicine, the treatment of urinary stones is non surgical as well as surgical interventions but both have some limitations and also stone formation reoccurs after removal. There is a need for safe, cost effective and simple method of management of urolithiasis which is curative as well as preventive. Aim: Comparative assessment of efficacy of Kutaja Beeja Churna and Ayurvedic Herbal Compound in the management of Mutrashmari (Urolithiasis). Materials and Methods: A randomised control trial (single blind parallel) with 1:1 ratio on 2 groups and will be conducted in Mahatma Gandhi Ayurved College Hospital and Research Centre Salod (Hi) Wardha. Expected duration of the study is one and half year (February 2022 - August 2023). Approval from the Institutional Ethical Committee has been taken and for this trial the registration number is CTRI/2021/09/036297. For statistical analysis Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Mann Whitney U test, Student’s t-test and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software will be used in the study. After doing drug analysis, a total of 60 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be selected and distributed in two groups having 30 each. In group A, Kutaja Beeja Churna and in group B, Ayurvedic Herbal Compound will be given twice a day for 45 days. Assessment will be done on day 15, 30 and 45 and after the intervention; follow-up will be taken on days 60 and 90. Results will be drawn from the observations of subjective parameters like pain and dysuria and objective parameters like size of the stone, site of the stone and haematuria.

Authors: Ukpong Ekpeno Sunday , Onyeka Eucharia Uloma , Omeire Gloria C. , Ogueke Chika C.
Published: September 2022

Germinated brown rice (GBR) was produced from FARO 44 rice cultivar by sterilizing the paddy in sodium hypochlorite solution, steeping it in potable water and germination of the de-husked grain. Germination temperatures were maintained at 30 and 40oC for 12 and 36 h. The mould content, functional, cooking and sensory properties of the GBR were compared to non-germinated brown rice (BR) and non-germinated parboiled milled rice (MR) which were used as controls. The results showed that germination temperatures did not significantly affect (p<0.05) the parameters analyzed. The germinating conditions did not encourage the growth of moulds. The foaming capacity (55.73%), foam stability (43.11%), water absorption capacity (1.24 g/g), and oil absorption capacity (1.07 g/g) of BR did not differ significantly (p<0.05) from that of MR but they increased significantly in GBR to the range of 66.43-73.05%, 60.48-74.715%, 2.15-2.88 g/g, and 1.95-3.08 g/g respectively. These values were significantly higher (p<0.05) at germination duration of 36 h than 12 h. The bulk density (0.93 g/cm3) and swelling power (6.78 g/g) of BR did not differ from that of MR but they decreased significantly (p<0.05) in GBR to the range of 0.61-0.90 g/cm3 and 2.67-4.70 g/g respectively. Much significantly lower (p<0.05) values were obtained at a germination duration of 36 h. The cooking time was least in MR (11.0 min) against BR (18.0 min) and GBR (12.0-15.0 min), and the water uptake ratio (g water/ g rice) was also least in MR (2.00) against BR (2.19) and GBR (2.20-2.37). MR and GBR germinated for 12 h were accepted while BR was rejected.
Marbug Virus Disease: An Overview
Authors: Nyenke Clement Ugochukwu , Konne Felix Eedee , Nwalozie Rhoda , Precious-Ogbueri Ruhuoma
Published: September 2022

Marburg virus disease (MVD) is a highly fatal, but uncommon viral disease which causes viral infection accompanied by hemorrhage and fever. It is caused by Marburg virus (MARV), a zoonotic virus belonging to the family of viruses known as Filoviridae, a single stranded RNA negative-sense virus, of the Marburg marburgvirus species. Marburg virus was established to have up to 88% fatality rate. Fruit bat is thought to be the natural host for Marburg virus as well as other non-human primate such as the grivet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops), however noted that fruit bat could be the actual host for the MVD. Marburg virus has two recognized variants, Lake Victoria marburgvirus and Ravn Marburgvirus with up to 20% overall divergence. The zoonotic transmission of Marburg virus occurs through prolonged exposure to an infected host animal through bites, or contact with fluid, faeces, droplets, or blood from an infected animal host, whereas the human-to-human transmission is as result of prolonged contact with an infected person, or contact with surfaces contaminated with MARV. MVD has the incubation period of 2 - 21day period after initial exposure to the virus and is marked with abrupt and rapid manifestation of symptoms such as high fever, chills, severe headaches, malaise and myalgia, possibility of nausea, vomiting, chest pain, and sore throat, jaundice, pancreatic inflammation, extreme weight loss, disorientation, shock, liver failure, extensive bleeding, and multi-organ malfunction. MVD can be diagnosed using a variety of methods, including culture, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT- PCR), serology, and immunohistochemistry for confirmation. Since no vaccine has been approved so far for MVD, it can be prevented by avoiding contact with the suspected fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) host as well as their habitats and by avoiding handling of, and contact with sick animals, and contact with persons suspected to be infected with MVD. MVD treatment can be done with supportive therapy which includes electrolyte and fluid balancing, oxygen status and blood pressure maintenance, lost blood and clotting factors’ replacement in instances of excessive bleeding, and complicated or secondary infection treatment. This study focuses on creating more awareness on Marburg virus disease following the recent outbreak in some regions of the world.
Evaluation of Maize Varieties for Resistance to Field Pests: Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda JE Smith) and Stem Borer in a Tropical Rainforest Agro-Ecology
Authors: Oluwaranti A. , Olaifa G. , Bakare A. M. , Akanmu B. B.
Published: September 2022

Aims: To evaluate newly improved maize varieties for fall armyworm and stem borer resistance and determine the relationship among traits for increased productivity in a rainforest location in Nigeria.

Study Design: The experiments were laid out in a 10 x 10 triple lattice design with three replications and Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in four replicates.

Place and Duration of Study: Field experiments were conducted during the late seasons of 2018 and 2019 at Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching and Research Farm, Ile Ife, Osun State, Nigeria.

Methodology: Hundred newly improved maize varieties were evaluated during the late season of 2018 for fall armyworm resistance, while ten stem borers resistant varieties were evaluated during the late season of 2019. Data were collected on emergence, flowering, vegetative, armyworm, and grain yield traits. Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA), descriptive statistics, correlation and cluster Analysis.

Results: Differential responses for resistance to fall armyworm traits were observed for all the varieties evaluated. Fall armyworm trait was observed to be negatively correlated with emergence percentage and ear number and positively correlated with flowering traits and moisture content. Furthermore, the results from the stem borer varieties evaluation indicated varietal differences for emergence percentage, plant height, ear height and kernel number. Stand count, ear number and weight per plot, moisture content had a significant positive correlation with yield while days to tasseling and silking and kernel row number had a significant negative correlation with yield.

Conclusion: The best resistant varieties to fall armyworm were F2SCA 1413-36, ACR. 06 TZL COMP. 3C4 and 2013 TZEE-W POP STR with 6.01 tons/ha, 5.11 tons/ha, and 4.87 tons/ha of yield respectively while that of stem borer were TZBR Comp 1 –W C2 and Ama TZBR-W C4 with grain yield of 3.7 tons/hectare and 3.5 tons/hectare respectively.

Published: September 2022

Background: Complementary feeds have serious impact on the growth, development, well-being and long term health of individuals.

Objective: We examined the complementary feeding practices of mothers resident in southeast Nigeria.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1610 mother-child pairs seen at immunization clinics in southeast Nigeria.

Results: A substantial proportion of the mothers were income earners (88.0%), and completed secondary or tertiary education (95.2%). The prevalence of underweight, severe underweight and overweight were 11.2%, 3.7% and 4.5%, respectively, among the children. More than one-third (38.9%) of the mothers initiated cereal in an untimely manner. Mothers’ educational status (p=0.044), profession (p=0.020), social class (p=0.001) and exclusive breastfeeding (p<0.001) were significantly associated with timing of cereal initiation. The most commonly used cereal was locally prepared pap (97.6%) which was predominantly fortified with commercial formula (79.7%). One 400g tin of formula lasted beyond 7 days for 40.5% of children. More than half (58.2%) of the mothers were bottle-feeding, 27% did not regularly wash their hands before preparing feeds, and 32.6% were not giving the recommended daily complementary feed frequency. Bottle-feeding was mainly due to need to return to work (37.9%), convenience (36.5%) and perception that suckling mother’s nipple was inadequate (12.4%). Cereal and family foods were not given fresh by 35.5% and 50.1% of mothers, respectively. Age at complementary feed (p=0.008) or family feed (p=0.002) initiation, feeding frequency (p<0.001), type of cereal (p<0.001) or pap fortifier (<0.001), timespan one tin of formula (p<0.001) and breastfeeding status (p<0.001) were significantly associated with child’s weight-for-age. Apart from timespan of one tin of formula, these factors remained significant after binary logistic regression.

Conclusion and Recommendations: The rate of untimely complementary feed initiation, unsafe/unhygienic practices, and fortification with expensive imported formula is high in southeast Nigeria. Urgent innovative interventions are needed to address these potential barriers to optimal complementary feeding.
Action Research on Use of Bilingualism (English & Dzongkha) as Medium of Educational Instruction for Teaching Social Studies in Grade Six Students
Authors: Phuentsho .
Published: September 2022

The Education System of our country, Bhutan has initiated for intersection of Geography and History curricula as Social Studies in lower classes for providing opportunities to explore students’ prior learning with historical and geographical content designed to support in acquisition goals of learning History and Geography as segregated subjects in higher classes. Such integration of subject is deemed as socio-cultural, geographical and historical knowledge are gathered and accumulated from home and community settings.

Therefore, to instill concepts and facts in the children at early stage, bilingual educational instruction has felt very necessary for primary students so that they can grasp the essential and core concept of subjects to determine for enhancing their cultural and historical facts. This miniature action research will evaluate the outcome of using bilingualism as an educational instruction for imparting concept of social studies contents. The targeted population for this action research was grade VI children studying in Dangchu Primary School under Wangduephodrang Dzongkhag.

This study will also explore the benefits of using bilingualism as an educational instruction for teaching social studies by adopting National Language (Dzongkha) as an alternative medium of instruction for explaining and discussing for clarifying contents in subject. The Scaffolding and Trans-language strategies were applied during the social studies teaching periods and positive results were recorded after the intervention strategies were used and the academic performance was drastically improved with intervention strategies and also encouraged students for more classroom participation and concepts were clarified. Bilingualism as medium of educational instructions proved to be the best teaching strategies to improve herself/herself in teaching in turn it enhances learning outcome of the students.
Visual disturbance as occult communication
Authors: Appel Stephen
Published: September 2022

This article is an elaboration of an idea of Nina Coltart to do with using one's first impressions of a patient. I consider this a form of phantasy communication and link it to a classic, but neglected, text which considered such matters, Psychoanalysis and the Occult (Devereux: 1953). Next I provide clinical and other examples of such visual disturbance. My thinking is that transference/councertransference often involves fleeting, visual eruptions of primary process which can be thought of as occult communications.

Hedonic modeling to facilitate price reporting and fed cattle market transparency
Authors: Schroeder Ted C. , Coffey Brian K. , Tonsor Glynn T.
Published: September 2022

Livestock Mandatory Price reporting, enacted to increase market transparency, has been in place for more than 20 years. However, immense structural change in cattle and beef markets has challenged market information over that time. Large variation present in cattle transaction prices, especially those in the Formula purchases category, on any given day has made traditionally United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)‐reported weighted‐average prices less meaningful. Using nearly 6 years of The Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act of 1999 transactions data from USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (USDA AMS), we demonstrate use of hedonic modeling to facilitate price reporting. While the models show promise to provide useful information, they reveal substantial weaknesses associated with current transaction information collected by USDA from packers. We offer suggestions for improved data collection which would make hedonic modeling of transactions prices a more valuable tool to increase usefulness of reported market prices.
Forest age‐associated change in Zanthoxylum planispinum ‘dintanensis’ pericarp quality
Authors: Yu Yanghua , Song Yanping , Li Yitong
Published: September 2022

The present study clarified the forest‐age associated change in the pericarp quality of Zanthoxylum planispinum ‘dintanensis’ (ZPD) and aimed to provide a theoretical foundation for formulating management strategies. The studied forest age groups consisted of 5‐to‐7‐, 10‐to‐12‐, 20‐to‐22‐, and 28‐to‐32‐yr‐old ZPD plants growing in rocky desertified areas of karst dry‐hot valleys in Guizhou, China. By measuring the pericarp quality indices of the plants present in the stands, the changes in pericarp quality were determined. The quality traits were optimal when the forest age was 28–32 yr, and the quality did not degrade with increased forest age. The sensitivity levels of ash contents and vitamins to the forest age were weak, whereas the levels of amino acids and trace elements were more affected by forest age. The latter two compounds were, therefore, more suitable for quality grading. The comprehensive quality index of the 28‐to‐32‐yr‐old plant group was the highest, followed by the 10‐to‐12‐yr‐old, 5‐to‐7‐, and 20‐to‐22‐yr‐old plants.

Published: September 2022

In 2019, the US ornamental horticulture industry had a farm gate crop value of roughly $17 billion, contributed $348 billion in total output to the nation's economy, and created 2.32 million employment opportunities. However, as the industry matures and reaches a slow‐growing stage, interfirm rivalry may appear among grower firms for marketing channels and sales opportunities. Independent garden centers and retailers report facing increased competition from mass merchandisers. Market channel choices, as part of the competitive strategy, are alternative ways for ornamental production to reach consumers. However, marketing practices of this industry have not received adequate attention from researchers despite the economic significance of the industry. Combining four waves of the National Green Industry Survey from 2004 to 2019, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of factors influencing firms' market participation and market channel choices. Over the survey period, traditional wholesale market channels such as landscape services companies, rewholesalers, and single‐location garden centers have remained mainstream channels. The direct‐to‐consumer (DTC) channel showed the potential to gain significant market share. Thirty percent of the firms participated in DTC channel in 2018, and their sales represent about 22% of total sales by all survey firms. Our empirical results show firms' wholesale market participation and choices of market channels are largely influenced by plant types and firm perceptions (variables potentially affecting firms' assessment of the “size” of their market) and variables approximating the market size such as regional dummies and housing price index, confirming the impact of market size on entry decision.

Ionic liquids (ILs) as promising green solvents were first proposed to extract polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) diesel. The COSMO‐RS model was used for preliminary screening of IL extractants. The liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) experiments were performed to show that the IL [BMIM][BF4] has a high selectivity for the model oil system. Further, the LLE experimental results show that the solubility of 1‐methylnaphthalene in [BMIM][BF4] is relatively low, while the IL exhibits a high selectivity of n‐hexadecane to 1‐methylnaphthalene. This means that the use of [BMIM][BF4] can obtain the high‐purity products when considering the almost nonvolatility of IL. Compared to the benchmark process, the multistage countercurrent–reflux extraction process can improve the PAHs purity by about 2% at the expense of 5.06% total annual cost and 6.42% energy consumption, rendering the use of IL to extract PAHs from FCC diesel more feasible in industry.
Management of relapsed/refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Authors: Woyach Jennifer A.
Published: September 2022

The therapeutic landscape for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has changed dramatically over the past decade as our understanding of the biology of CLL has advanced, allowing the development of oral therapies targeting key drivers of CLL. Currently, inhibitors of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase and the BH3 mimetic venetoclax are standards of care for both frontline and relapsed/refractory CLL. Sequencing of available therapies, therefore, has become a major challenge of therapy. In this review, we will focus on the current landscape for the treatment of relapsed/refractory CLL. We will also discuss important considerations when sequencing these available treatments. The recent advances in this disease are significant steps forward, and raise new questions of how these available drugs should be given as well as how we can continue to improve the treatment of CLL.
The dietary impacts of drought in a traditional pastoralist economy
Authors: Prall Sean , Scelza Brooke
Published: September 2022

Objectives

Arid pastoralism is often understood as an adaptive strategy to marginal environments. As pastoralists become increasingly market integrated, novel dietary preferences and access to low quality market foods can erode traditional diets. These market‐based dietary shifts are particularly problematic during sustained drought, where reductions in traditional foods make pastoralists increasingly reliant on a cash economy. Among the Himba of the Kunene region in Namibia, colonial policies prohibiting access to livestock markets inhibit access to a cash‐based economy, leaving them vulnerable to food insecurity when nontraditional foods are needed to supplement traditional lifeways during drought. To understand the impacts of long‐term drought on diet and food insecurity, we collected longitudinal survey data on diet breadth and food insecurity across 4 years during a multi‐year drought.

Methods

Participants completed a five‐item food insecurity survey and recalled diet breadth survey over the course of 4 years (N = 191–234). Additionally, women completed a short survey of recent stressors, including health and resource stressors (N = 127). We used a set of multilevel models to estimate changes in food insecurity items and diet breadth changes over the course of the study period.

Results

Multilevel models predicted score outcomes, as well as individual item responses, by year of data collection. Results indicate a 43% increase in average food insecurity and a 15% decline in average diet breadth over the study period. Dietary recall indicates that drought caused a reduction in sour milk intake, and an increase in nontraditional foods, but no change in meat or maize consumption.

Conclusions

Sustained drought in the Kunene region is having long‐term impacts on food insecurity, which could result in dietary shifts that outlast the current period of drought. We consider the implications of this change, especially as it relates to increasing market integration and reliance on a cash‐based over a subsistence‐based economy.
Physics‐based deep neural network model to guide electrospinning polyurethane fibers
Authors: Rahman S. Mashfiqur , Tafreshi Hooman Vahedi , Pourdeyhimi Behnam
Published: September 2022

Electrospinning is an inexpensive room‐temperature method of producing nanofibers from polymer granules. While it is quite easy to produce electrospun nanofibers, it is very difficult to control properties of the resulting fibers without conducting laborious trial‐and‐error experiments. In this work, a mass‐spring‐damper (MSD) model was used to simulate formation of electrospun fibers for different combinations of electrospinning conditions such as voltage, needle‐to‐collector distance, and polymer concentration. The sparse data from the CPU‐intensive MSD model were then used in developing a deep neural network (DNN) model that could guide the electrospinning experiment toward producing fibers with a desired diameter. The accuracy of the MSD‐DNN hybrid model was examined via comparison with experimental data obtained by electrospinning polyurethane fibers.
Towards sustainable development: Coupling green marketing strategies and consumer perceptions in addressing greenwashing
Authors: Rahman Saleem ur , Nguyen‐Viet Bang
Published: September 2022

To understand how consumers perceive greenwashing, this study examines the impact of green advertising receptivity (GAR), non‐deception (ND), green brand image (GBI) and transparency (TR) on green brand trust (GBT) and subsequently the impact of GBT on consumers' purchasing intentions (PI). We also consider the mediation role of GBT between the relationship of the independent variables (GAR, ND, GBI and TR) and the dependent variable (PI). At the same time, we examine the moderating impact of ND on the GAR and GBT and of TR on the GBI and GBT relationship. Using the Stimulus–Organism–Response (SOR) framework, we test a number of hypotheses. A survey‐based questionnaire was utilized to gather the data from Vietnamese respondents (n = 262). We analysed the data using the partial least squares (PLS) method, which is a structural equation modelling (SEM) technique, with the assistance of the SmartPLS computer program 3.0. The data results show that GAR and GBI positively influence GBT, but the influence of ND and TR on GBT is insignificant. Again, the data show that GBT has a positive influence on PI, and as a mediator variable, it facilitates GAR, GBI and PI, but not the link between ND, TR and PI. A significant interaction effect of ND demonstrates that it strengthens the GAR‐GBT relationship. However, the TR has no impact on the GBI–GBT relationship. The findings of this study provide insights into the theory and the essential managerial implications for successfully managing the implementation of green marketing strategies.
Green core competence and firm performance in a post‐conflict country, Iraq
Authors: Al Halbusi Hussam , Klobas Jane E. , Ramayah T.
Published: September 2022

Green core competence theory proposes that green core competence is needed for green innovation performance and, in turn, firm performance. We demonstrate that this theory applies in post‐conflict Iraq where green innovation performance was conditional on commitment to sustainable management and development of green technology and skills. Data from 238 Iraqi executives showed that green product and process innovation performance increased with green core competence, but only when the firm invested in people and R&D or, in the case of green process innovation, top management demonstrated authentic commitment to sustainable practices. The moderation effects of R&D investment and top management commitment reflect the national context in Iraq, where R&D investment is low and management is often constrained by inflexible bureaucracy. As countries emerge from conflict, investment in modernization of companies' internal structure, management, and capacity for continuous improvement is required if core competence is to be translated into innovation performance.

Published: September 2022

This study aims to determine the effect of learning in Classic Tutorial Virtual Laboratory (CT‐VLab) and Exploratory Tutorial Virtual Laboratory (ET‐VLab) on student learning outcomes, that is, Immediate Memories Learning Outcomes (IM‐LO) and Delayed Memories learning Outcomes (DM‐LO) in essential engineering competencies. Moreover, the moderating role of spatial ability in the form of High Spatial Ability (H‐SA) and Low Spatial Ability (L‐SA) has been examined to assess the change in students learning outcomes. The study used a quasi‐experimental approach with a 4 × 2 factorial design. Purdue Spatial Visualization Test to measure spatial abilities and learning outcomes has been applied using standard test instruments. Moreover, a two‐way Manova analysis was performed. The results showed that CT‐VLab was as good as ET‐VLab in improving IM‐LO learning outcomes, but for DM‐LO, CT‐VLab media was superior in maintaining learning outcomes. In addition, spatial ability showed a linear effect on learning outcomes for IM‐LO and DM‐LO, both in CT‐VLab and ET‐VLab learning. Furthermore, results revealed that for the H‐SA student group, CT‐VLab and ET‐VLab are effective for improving IM‐LO and DM‐LO learning outcomes, but for the l‐SA group, it is recommended to use CT‐VLab.

Published: September 2022

Selected traditional medicinal plants exhibit therapeutic effects in coronavirus disease (Covid‐19) patients. This review aims to identify the phytochemicals from five traditional medicinal plants (Glycyrrhiza glabra,Nigella sativa,Curcuma longa,Tinospora cordifoliaandWithania somnifera) with high potential in modulating the main protease (Mpro) activity and cytokine storm in Covid‐19 infection. The Mpro binding affinity of 13 plant phytochemicals were in the following order: Withanoside II>withanoside IV>withaferin A>α‐hederin>withanoside V>sitoindoside IX>glabridin>liquiritigenin, nigellidine>curcumin>glycyrrhizin>tinocordiside>berberine. Among these phytochemicals, glycyrrhizin, withaferin A, curcumin, nigellidine and cordifolioside A suppressed SARS‐CoV‐2 replication and showed stronger anti‐inflammatory activities than standard Covid‐19 drugs. Both preclinical and clinical evidences supported the development of plant bioactive compounds as Mpro inhibitors.

Bufadienolides are toxic components widely found in amphibious toads that exhibit a wide range of biological activities. Guided by UPLC‐QTOF‐MS analysis, several 3‐epi‐bufadienolides with unique structures were isolated from the bile of the Asiatic toad, Bufo gargarizans. However, the enzymatic machinery of this epimerization in toads and its significance in chemical ecology remains poorly understood. Herein, we firstly compared the toxicities of two typical bufadienolides, bufalin (featuring a 14β‐hydroxyl) and resibufogenin (containing a 14, 15‐epoxy group), with their corresponding 3‐epi isomers in a zebrafish model. The results of the toxicology assays showed that the ratio of maximum non‐toxic concentrations of these two pairs of compounds are 256 and 96 times, respectively, thereby indicating that 3‐hydroxyl epimerization leads to a significant decrease in toxicity. Aiming to investigate the biotransformation of 3‐epi bufadienolides in toads, we applied liver lysate to transform bufalin and found that it could stereoselectively catalyze the conversion of bufalin into its 3α‐hydroxyl epimer. Following this, we cloned and characterized a short‐chain dehydrogenase/reductase, HSE‐1, from the toad liver cDNA library and verified its 3(β→α)‐hydroxysteroid epimerization activity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first hydroxyl epimerase identified from amphibians that regulates the toxicity of animal‐derived natural products.
