Authors: Kemabonta Kehinde A. , Ikerodah Ayodeji A. , Anumud Prudence C.
Published: September 2020

Background: Petrol, xylene, and thinner are volatile organic compounds (VOCs), a major class of pollutants that affect the chemistry of the atmosphere and animals including man. The principal mode of contamination is via inhalation. This study aims to elucidate the effects of these compounds on bio-chemical functions in the body of the mouse, Mus musculus
Methods: One hundred and twenty adult albino Mus musculus species were randomly assigned to groups (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, and D1) based on their weights (8-13g for juveniles and 15 – 21g for adults) with specific treatments. The control treatment, A1, was housed in a plastic experimental house free from the test chemical vapor while groups A2 and B1; B2 and C1; C2 and D1 were exposed to pet-rol, thinner, and xylene respectively in wooden exposure chambers for six hours daily for sixty days. Levels of oxidative stress markers (GSH, SOD, CAT, and MDA) were determined using the spectrophotometry.
Results: A significant decrease in the values of GSH, activities of SOD and CAT, were observed when compared to the mice in the control experiment as daily exposure to the selected vapor increased. On the other hand, MDA levels increased significantly with increasing daily exposure to vapor from the test chemicals, when compared to the control rats.
Conclusion: Based on the findings from this study, the decrease in the SOD, CAT and GSH levels are indications of toxic build up in the blood implying that exposures to these VOCs inhibit natural processes. Thus, VOCs are detrimental to human health and long-term exposure to these organic com-pounds could result in deleterious sub-lethal effects, especially to individual exposed occupationally to them
In-Vitro Effects of Ricinus Communis Seed Kernel Extract On Some Antioxidant And Hydrolytic Enzymes In Nymph And Adult Zonocerus Variegatus (Grasshopper)
Authors: Adeleke Gbadebo E . , Adedosu Olaniyi T. , Adeyi Rachael O. , Fatoki John O.
Published: September 2020

Background: Many plants have been identified for their insecticidal properties as alternatives to synthetic ones, which are toxic to untargeted organisms and environment. Ricinus communis (Castor) has been re-ported to exhibit insecticidal properties against insect pests. Zonocerus variegatus (Grasshopper) is a notable pest of several crops, and has been linked with great economic losses to farmers. The present study investigates the in-vitro toxicity of R. communis seed kernel extract (RCSKE) on the activities of selected antioxidant and hydrolytic enzymes in nymph and adult Zonocerus variegatus (Grasshopper), using cypermethrin (CYPER-M) and chlorpyrifos (CPF) as standard conventional pesticides.
Methods: Seed kernel of Ricinus communis (Castor) was subjected to acidified aqueous extraction to obtain the extract (RCSKE). Crude enzyme preparations were obtained from nymph and adult Z. variegatus grass-hoppers. The in-vitro effects of different concentrations (15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 and 105μg/ml) each of RCSKE, CYPER-M and CPF on the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and carboxylesterase (CES) in crude enzyme preparations were estimated spectrophotometrically. The level of statistical significance was 0.05.
Results: The RCSKE significantly reduced the in-vitro SOD activity (p < 0.05) in nymph Z. variegatus at all the concentrations, whereas both CYPER-M and CPF significantly reduced the activity only at certain concentrations. The CAT activity in the nymph was significantly decreased by RCSKE and CPF at all the concentrations, but CYPER-M decreased it only at certain concentrations. In adult Z. variegatus, SOD activity was not significantly affected (p > 0.05), while CAT activity was significantly increased (p < 0.05) by the three agents at all the concentrations. The AChE and CES activities in the nymph were significantly reduced by RCSKE, CYPER-M and CPF at all the concentrations. The RCSKE and CPF significantly increased the CES activity, while CYPER-M caused a significant decrease in the activity in adult Z. variegatus.
Conclusion: The seed kernel extract of Ricinus communis is an effective pesticidal agent and hence, it could be a source of biopesticide alternative with greater potential than cypermethrin and chlorpyrifos. In addition, the antioxidant, acetylcholinesterase and carboxylesterase enzymes in the nymphs of Z. variegatus grasshoppers are more susceptible to the effect of the extract than in the adult grasshoppers.

Authors: Simon-Oke Iyabo A.
Published: September 2020

Background: Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) represent a good transient environment for development of pathogenic microbes. Investigation on the level of bacterial contaminants on keypads of ATMs was carried out in Akure, Nigeria.
Methods: A total of sixty ATMs keypads were sampled in two major locations (main market and Federal University of Technology, campus) in Akure. Samples were collected from key-pad and screen parts of the ATM devices with sterile swab sticks and was cultured immediately on Nutrient agar, Manitol salt agar, and MacConkey agar mediums for Microbial examination. Standard bacteriological methods were employed in the analysis of the sample. Presumptive identification of bacterial isolates was by cellular morphology, Gram staining reaction, motility, catalase, coagulase test, oxidase strip test and MICROBACT Biochemical Identification system was used to identify the species of the oxidase negative Gram negative bacteria.
Results: Out of 30 ATMs keypads examined in the two locations, 28 and 22 yeilded bacteria growth in Akure main Market and FUTA Campus respectively. The organisms isolated were Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella species, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas and Bacillus species. All the bacterial isolates showed high resistance to Ampicillin but low resistance to Ciprofloxacin.
Conclusion: The study confirmed the presence of pathogenic bacteria species on ATM key-pads with possible health implications in Akure, Nigeria. Daily and regular cleaning regimen of the key-pads with sanitizers, and public enlightenment on the hygienic usage of the keypads is necessary to reduce health risks to the users.

Class-based Flow Scheduling Framework in SDN-based Data Center Networks
Authors: Zaher Maiass , Alawadi Aymen , Molnar Sandor
Published: September 2020

The emerging technologies leveraging Data Center Networks (DCN) and their consequent trafﬁc patterns impose more necessity for improving Quality of Service (QoS). In this paper, we propose Sieve, a new distributed SDN framework that efﬁciently schedules ﬂows based on the available bandwidth to improve Flow Completion Time (FCT) of mice ﬂows. In addition, we propose a lightweight sampling mechanism to sample a portion of ﬂows. In particular, Sieve schedules the sampled ﬂows, and it reschedules only elephant ﬂows upon threshold hits. Furthermore, our framework allocates a portion of the ﬂows to ECMP, so that the associated overhead can be mitigated in the control plane and ECMP-related packet collisions are fewer as well. Mininet has been used to evaluate the proposed solution, and Sieve provides better FCT up to 50% in comparison to the existing solutions like ECMP and Hedera.
El argumento de la pobreza del estímulo, una vez más
Authors: Skidelsky Liza
Published: September 2020

El argumento más conocido en favor del innatismo de ciertas estructuras mentales sigue siendo el ‘Argumento de la Pobreza del estímulo’ (APE). La idea general del APE es que el conocimiento que se requiere para desarrollar una cierta capacidad cognitiva excede en gran medida la información disponible en el entorno, de manera que el organismo contribuye con información innata. Un examen de la literatura del APE lingüístico muestra que aún no está del todo claro qué clase de argumento es y lo que realmente muestra. Mi objetivo en este trabajo es ofrecer un diagnóstico de la estrategia innatista que utiliza el APE. Así, distingo tres tipos de APE y argumento, en primer lugar, que la versión más apropiada, según ciertos criterios empíricos y teóricos, no parece ser suficiente para el innatismo lingüístico y, en segundo lugar, que para ser suficiente, suele complementarse con un argumento ‘de sillón’, cuya consecuencia es que convierte al innatismo en una hipótesis empírica debilitada.
Una teoría del concepto de primera persona
Authors: Vidal Javier
Published: September 2020

Siguiendo la aproximación de Peacocke a la naturaleza de los conceptos, este artículo presenta una teoría del concepto de primera persona en términos de su condición de posesión. Propongo que tal condición de posesión es cuestión de, necesariamente, estar dispuesto a realizar un juicio de orden superior con el contenido  cuando uno tiene un pensamiento consciente con el contenido . Consecuentemente, intento motivar y defender esta concepción respondiendo a supuestos contraejemplos. Adicionalmente, proporciono una teoría de la determinación del valor semántico respecto a cómo esa condición de posesión individúa el concepto de primera persona dando la condición que alguien tiene que satisfacer para ser su referente.
Modelando la aserción relativista
Authors: Caso Ramiro
Published: September 2020

Presento una extensión del marco de Stalnaker (1978) para modelar los efectos conversacionales de la aserción, de modo que este pueda aplicarse a la aserción de proposiciones cuya verdad es relativa a parámetros adicionales respecto de un mundo posible. Desarrollo dos maneras de aplicar este marco a la aserción de proposiciones evaluativas, según la apreciación de las emisiones evaluativas mismas refleje una concepción relativista moderada de sus condiciones de corrección o una concepción radical. Argumento que, en virtud de la diferencia que existe a la hora de concebir la aserción, el relativismo radical tiene una ventaja por sobre el relativismo moderado, dado que el relativismo moderado tiene inconvenientes a la hora de interpretar los desacuerdos evaluativos.
Hacia una genealogía de la mente: una aproximación filosófica a los conceptos psicológicos: Acerca de Sentir, desear, creer de Diana Pérez
Authors: Gomila Antoni
Published: September 2020

En Sentir, desear, creer: Una aproximación filosófica a los conceptos psicológicos, Diana Pérez se plantea una empresa ambiciosa, análoga a la de Ryle en The Concept of Mind: dar cuenta de manera integral de la ontología, la epistemología, la semántica y, en parte, la psicología de los conceptos de los diversos estados y procesos psicológicos. La aportación principal consiste en una perspectiva genealógica, basada en el modo en que se atribuyen tales conceptos, desde una posición realista. Para ello, se desarrolla como contribución más original la idea de una perspectiva de segunda persona, la perspectiva de la interacción intersubjetiva, como el modo en que uno se introduce en el ámbito de lo mental. En conjunto, una aportación muy relevante.

Authors: Tian Juan , Han Tao , Pan Minjuan
Published: September 2020

Neonatal pneumonia is caused by inflammation mediated by lipopolysaccharide from gram negative bacteria. This type of pneumonia is characterized by inflammatory and apoptotic responses. In this study, we have examined the effect of friedelin on lipopolysaccharide-induced pneumonia and the role of nuclear factor kappa B in this process. Also, using the human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells as a model we examined the effect of lipopolysaccharide on the cell apoptosis and its protection by friedelin. The results show that friedelin prevented lipopolysaccharide-induced acute pneumonia in neonatal rats and cellular apoptosis by suppressing the nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway. In summary, this study shows that the friedelin exhibits a remarkable protective effect on lung tissues exposed to lipopolysaccharides.

Authors: Miroshnik D. M.
Published: September 2020

Ophthalmic lesions in Sjogren's disease are among the most pronounced, they significantly complicate the patient's life. Along with Sjogren's disease, there is the so−called Sjogren's syndrome, which is a similar lesion of the salivary and lacrimal glands, which develops in 5−25 % of the patients with systemic connective tissue diseases and in 50−75 % with chronic autoimmune diseases. The main sign of damage to the lacrimal glands is the development of dry keratoconjunctivitis, which in severe cases can lead to complications in the form of corneal ulcers, up to the threat of perforation. The study of the effectiveness of various drugs in the treatment of symptomatic therapy showed that the problem of achieving a lasting effect of correction of ophthalmic manifestations has not been currently solved. In order to study the effectiveness of the drug "Encad−Biolik®" (Kharkiv, Ukraine) to stimulate the reparative processes of the cornea as part of the complex therapy of Sjogren's disease were examined 15 patients (30 eyes) who received the drug "Encad−Biolik®" in the form of intramuscular injections and bath phonophoresis. The duration of treatment was 8.0 days, the time of complete epithelialization of the cornea made 7.4 days. In the eyes of two patients who had corneal ulcers, the process was stopped, resulting in a slight cloud−like turbidity. The results of the study demonstrate that the use of the drug "Encad−Biolik®" in the patients with Sjogren's disease was not accompanied by side effects and reduced the duration of corneal epithelialization, duration of treatment, and improved structural results in corneal healing.

Key words: Sjogren's disease, "Encad−Biolik®", cornea, epithelialization.

Mechanochemistry is an emerging and reliable alternative to conventional solution (batch) synthesis of complex molecules under green and solvent-free conditions. In this regard, we report here on the conjugation of a dextran polysaccharide with a fluorescent probe, a phenylboronic acid (PBA)-functionalized boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) applying the ball milling approach. The ball milling formation of boron esters between PBA BODIPY and dextran proved to be more efficient in terms of reaction time, amount of reactants, and labelling degree compared to the corresponding solution-based synthetic route. PBA-BODIPY dextran assembles into nanoparticles of around 200 nm by hydrophobic interactions. The resulting PBA-BODIPY dextran nanoparticles retain an apolar interior as proved by pyrene fluorescence, suitable for the encapsulation of hydrophobic drugs with high biocompatibility while remaining fluorescent.

We present new, near-infrared (1.1–2.4 μm) high-contrast imaging of the debris disk around HD 15115 with the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO) system coupled with the Coronagraphic High Angular Resolution Imaging Spectrograph (CHARIS). The SCExAO/CHARIS resolves the disk down to ρ ∼ 0.″2 (r
proj ∼ 10 au), a factor of ∼3–5 smaller than previous recent studies. We derive a disk position angle of PA ∼ 279.°4–280.°5 and an inclination of i ∼ 85.°3–86.2.°. While recent SPHERE/IRDIS imagery of the system could suggest a significantly misaligned two-ring disk geometry, CHARIS imagery does not reveal conclusive evidence for this hypothesis. Moreover, optimizing models of both one- and two-ring geometries using differential evolution, we find that a single ring having a Hong-like scattering phase function matches the data equally well within the CHARIS field of view (ρ ≲ 1″). The disk’s asymmetry, well evidenced at larger separations, is also recovered; the west side of the disk appears, on average, around 0.4 mag brighter across the CHARIS bandpass between 0.″25 and 1″. Comparing Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) 50CCD optical photometry (2000–10500 Å) with CHARIS near-infrared photometry, we find a red (STIS/50CCD−CHARIS broadband) color for both sides of the disk throughout the 0.″4–1″ region of overlap, in contrast to the blue color reported at similar wavelengths for regions exterior to ∼2″. Further, this color may suggest a smaller minimum grain size than previously estimated at larger separations. Finally, we provide constraints on planetary companions and discuss possible mechanisms for the observed inner disk flux asymmetry and color.

We analyze data cubes of over 60 emission lines in the HH 32 stellar jet acquired with the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI). The data cover the less explored blue portion of the spectrum between 3586 and 6351 Å and have both high spectral (R ∼ 10,000) and spatial (≲1″) resolution. The study includes all three major ionization states of oxygen, three Balmer lines, multiple lines of Fe ii and Fe iii, and the first data cubes ever acquired for important unblended diagnostic lines such as He ii
λ4686, Ca i
λ3933, and Mg i] λ4571. The data cubes generally sort according to excitation and have a relatively continuous progression from the highest-excitation ions (He ii, O iii) through the intermediate-excitation ions (O i and H i) to the lowest-excitation ions (Ca ii and Mg i). Merging the KCWI cubes with Hubble Space Telescope images leads to several new insights about the flow, including evidence for bow shocks, partial bow shocks, spur shocks, Mach disks, jet deflection shocks, a wiggling jet, and potential shock precursors. The most surprising result is that one of the velocity components of Fe ii in the Mach disk suddenly increases in flux relative to other lines by a factor of two, implying that the Mach disk vaporizes dust in the jet. Hence, jets must accelerate or entrain dust to speeds of over 300 km s−1 without destroying the grains.

Most previous efforts to calibrate how rotation and magnetic activity depend on stellar age and mass have relied on observations of clusters, where isochrones from stellar evolution models are used to determine the properties of the ensemble. Asteroseismology employs similar models to measure the properties of an individual star by matching its normal modes of oscillation, yielding the stellar age and mass with high precision. We use 27 days of photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite to characterize solar-like oscillations in the G8 subgiant of the 94 Aqr triple system. The resulting stellar properties, when combined with a reanalysis of 35 yr of activity measurements from the Mount Wilson HK project, allow us to probe the evolution of rotation and magnetic activity in the system. The asteroseismic age of the subgiant agrees with a stellar isochrone fit, but the rotation period is much shorter than expected from standard models of angular momentum evolution. We conclude that weakened magnetic braking may be needed to reproduce the stellar properties, and that evolved subgiants in the hydrogen shell-burning phase can reinvigorate large-scale dynamo action and briefly sustain magnetic activity cycles before ascending the red giant branch.

erg s−1, identifying associated Hα emission features, and checking their [S ii] and [O iii] emission properties. Our search did not find any Balmer-dominated Type Ia SNRs in M33. This result is puzzling because M33 is 2–3 times more massive than the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), yet the LMC hosts five Balmer-dominated Type Ia SNRs and M33 has none. We have considered observational biases; interstellar densities and ionization conditions; the Type Ia SN rate expected from the star formation history and Type Ia SN delay time distribution function; and the metallicity effect. None of these can explain the absence of X-ray-bright Balmer-dominated Type Ia SNRs in M33. It is intriguing that the Galaxy has X-ray-bright and thermal Type Ia SNRs (Kepler and Tycho), as well as X-ray-faint and nonthermal Type Ia SNRs (G1.9+0.3, SN1006, and RCW86), while the LMC does not have the X-ray-faint and nonthermal ones and M33 does not have the X-ray-bright and thermal ones.
The Ultraviolet Flux Variations of ρ Puppis as Recorded by IUE
Authors: Monier Richard
Published: September 2020

The archival IUE spectra of the bright δ Scuti star ρ Puppis (HD 67523) reveal large flux variations from 2000 to 3000 Å over an 8 hr observing run. The time separating two successive flux maxima at 2900 Å is 3 hr and 19 minutes which compares well to the period of the radial fundamental mode. At 2900 Å, the flux at maximum is about 1.20 larger than at minimum which is consistent with a 260 K increase of the effective temperature between minimum and maximum. The optical brightness around 5400 Å as recorded by the Fine Error Sensor varied in phase with the ultraviolet flux, corresponding to a decrease in magnitude of −0.11 mag.
Mass Media and the postmodern urban experience. From Metropolis to Blade Runner; from cinema to virtual reality
Authors: Lus Arana Luis Miguel
Published: September 2020

Since their inception in the XIX Century, mass media have been crucial in shaping the image of the urban environment on our collective subconscious. In the early 20th Century, newspapers and magazines bustled with exacerbated but fascinating images of the city of the future, which appeared as hyperbolic portrayals of the perception that the contemporary citizen had of his own effervescing modern environment. Cinema soon joined this process, as a privileged, mechanical eye that could record, analyse and reinvent the accelerated modern city and its evolution. Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1926) epitomized the powers of the new medium, providing the viewers with a window that allowed them to see this Lacanian Other come alive, somehow encapsulating their own experience of the new urban reality. Over half a century later films such as Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982) took the torch as fictional future representations of postmodern space that provided the postmodern citizen with a suitably hyper-real substitute of reality. Three decades after that, the videogames and virtual reality experiences based on those very films promise to break the final barrier, allowing us to cross to the other side of the membrane, and freely move through that which is, literally, an augmented reality.
Aesthetic uses of the past and limits in the reconstruction of historical spaces inside a videogame
Authors: Venegas Ramos Alberto
Published: September 2020

Along the last years we have assisted to the release of a great number of videogames set in the past as, for example, Assassin’s Creed: Origins (Ubisoft, 2017). This game offered the player the possibility to tour the city of Alexandria during the first century before Christ. My intention in this text is to develop the use of the past in the reconstruction of urban digital spaces through three video-game sagas, BioShock (Irrational Games y 2K Marin, 2007 – 2013), Uncharted (Naughty Dog, 2006 – 2017) and Assassin’s Creed (Ubisoft, 2007 – 2017). Each one of them will serve us to develop and examine the aesthetic uses of the past in the reconstruction of urban digital spaces through the proposed concepts: design, consumption and production. Irrational Games’ saga will help us to understand the first concept, the Naughty Dog one the second and the Ubisoft one the third. After these three sections we will elaborate a final section where we will build the video-game as a mass culture medium with other media of same scope and shared features.
Spanish colonial architecture as selective authenticity in historical digital games
Authors: Peñate Domínguez Fede
Published: September 2020

Buildings play a major role in computer games set in the past, both as gameplay components and as elements of historical realism. Varying on the genre of the game they perform different functions, from the transition and movement possibilities they allow the player in action-adventure games like Assassin’s Creed (Dow, 2013) to sedentary headquarters in strategy and management titles such as Age of Empires and Civilization (Bonner, 2014). My goal with this paper is to analyse the purposes of Spain’s colonial architecture in computer games set in the period of the Spanish Monarchy’s rule overseas. In order to achieve it, I will use Adam Chapman’s theoretical and methodological framework to understand the games’ historical epistemologies and ludonarratives, and Salvati and Bullinger’s concept of selective authenticity to analyse the role of these buildings in evoking the past and giving meaning to it. Aided by these lenses, I will try to unravel the master narratives behind these titles and how they give meaning to the history of Spain and its former colonies.
