Authors: Ramal Majeed Mattar , Jalal Arkan Dhari , Abdulhameed Uday Hatem
Published: December 2021

This study goals to assess the concentrations of specified Heavy Metals (HMs) and quality of taps drinking water of Ramadi city, western Iraq. Heavy Metal Pollution Indices like heavy metal pollution index (HMPI ), heavy metal evaluation index (HMEI) and contamination degree (CD) were applied to assess the supplied water. The average concentrations of Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), Arsenic (As) and Cadmium (Cd) in most stations exceed the maximum admissible concentration, while Iron (Fe) in most of stations was within the maximum admissible concentration according to local and global guidelines. (HMPI ) values of most stations were exceed the maximum critical value of 100. (HMEI) values of most stations were exceed the value of 10 recommended for drinking water. (CD) values of most stations were exceed the value of 1 recommended for drinking water. The pollution origins were assessed using principal component analysis (PCA) and clustering analysis (CA). The results indicate that contamination comes from anthropogenic causes being the most common and lithogenic sources being the least common. The present concentration of (HMs) in taps water is causing health and environmental problems, water with high (HMs) concentrations would need to be treated before being supplied to consumers.
Mixed Land Use in Delhi: Impact on Infrastructure and Environment and Suggestions for Sustainable Planning
Authors: Bindal Nidhi , Talwar Swati
Published: December 2021

Mixed-use has been a part of our cities since historic times where retail, workshop, etc. all co-existed with the residence. Industrialization and associated adverse impacts led to overtaking of mixed-use concept by zoning. However, the ills of segregation started showing in the cities, and urban planners, sociologists and anthropologists started advocating in favor of re-introducing mixed-use. Now it is being planned worldwide to attain vibrant and cohesive urban development. Despite the well-established benefits of mixed-use, the Master Plan of Delhi’s approach of increasing the ambit of ‘permitting’ mixed-use as against the strategy of ‘planned mixed-use development’ adopted in other global cities makes us question the likely impacts of this liberal shift. Thus the study aims at investigating the environmental implications of such mixed-use development in the city of Delhi. From the assessment of two case study areas, it can be inferred that the nature and magnitude of impact on a mixed-use area is determined by the type of mix and its intensity, for example, in Lajpat Nagar numerous retail establishment led to vehicle-related issues while in Naraina the issues were infrastructure-related due to type of activities. It was recommended that the policies guiding the mixed-use development are in dire need of a mechanism to assess the impacts, identify demand-supply gaps and future needs, and thereafter augment accordingly to mitigate the implications in a case-specific manner.
Spermidine Enhances Nutritional Indices ofBombyx mori(Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) Larvae

Published: December 2021

The demand for silk increases as its economic value rises. Silk production by the silkworm, Bombyx mori L., is linked to the quality of the silkworm diet, leading to efforts to nutritionally enrich the mulberry (Morus alba L.) diet of silkworm larvae. Previous studies have established that spermidine, a polyamine, enhances larval growth in B. mori, subsequently increasing silk production. However, its role in improving the nutritional quality of the silkworm diet is not known. In this study, we evaluated the effects of spermidine-treated diet on the nutritional indices, polyamine levels, and antioxidant potential in fifth-instar larvae. We also assessed the effect of consumption of the spermidine-treated diet on the larval gut microbiome, which impacts digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Larvae consuming the spermidine-treated diet showed a significant increase in the efficiency of conversion of ingested food and digested food, intracellular polyamine levels (especially the conjugated and free fraction), antioxidant potential and cell viability, and both diversity and number of bacterial communities. These findings suggest that feeding mulberry leaves fortified with spermidine enhances nutritional efficiency in the B. mori larvae and may represent a method of increasing silk production by B. mori.

Published: December 2021

In August 2019, Georgians were provided the opportunity to participate in a pollinator census, called the Great Georgia Pollinator Census (https://GGaPC.org). This initiative evolved from two pilot projects conducted in 2017 and 2018. Citizen scientists counted insects and placed them into one of eight insect categories: (1) carpenter bee, Xylocopa sp. (Hymenoptera: Apidae); (2) bumble bee, Bombus sp. (Hymenoptera: Apidae); (3) honey bee, Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae); (4) small bee (Hymenoptera); (5) wasp (Hymenoptera: Vespidae); (6) fly (Diptera); (7) butterfly or moth (Lepidoptera); or (8) other insects. This project was a yearlong effort that included assisting Georgians in creating sustainable pollinator habitat and increasing participant knowledge of insects and insect-mediated ecosystem services. A sustainable education effort involved the use of a website, newsletters, social media, University of Georgia Extension personnel, and project partners. Over 4,500 participants recorded over 151,000 insect counts in 135 Georgia counties, including 134 schools. Data analysis indicated a significant difference between pollinator counts in rural and urban areas (e.g., carpenter bees were more abundant in urban than in rural areas). Analysis also showed a significant influence of the local presence of honey bee hives on relative proportion of other pollinators as represented in the survey counts.

Published: December 2021

Climate change is an extreme natural change condition due to global warming that cannot be avoided, and will have a broad impact on various aspects of life, including the agricultural sector. The impact of climate change that occurs in the agricultural sector, namely flood and drought that cause plants to crop failure , is becoming greater, causing significant reduction in agricultural production, especially rice, requiring that farmers have the ability to adapt to climate change. The purposes of this study are to analyze the relationship between the performance level of agricultural extension workers and the capacity level of farmers in regard to climate change adaptation, and to analyze the relationship between the level of farmer capacity in climate change adaptation and rice productivity. The research was conducted in Central Lampung Regency in 2019 using a total of 100 rice farmers. The data analysis method used is Spearman rank correlation analysis. The results show that the performance level of agricultural instructors is significantly related to the level of knowledge capacity, attitude, and skills of farmers in climate change adaptation. Knowledge capacity, attitude, and skills of farmers in climate change adaptation are significantly related to rice productivity.

Currently, there are many studies devoted to the problems of immunity in space flights. It has been proven that both short-term and long-term stay in space significantly reduces the immune function of the body. There are cases of the development of infectious diseases in astronauts during the flight, there is evidence of an increase in the activity of viruses and microorganisms that can affect the health of crew members. In the light of the upcoming expedition to Mars, it is especially important to study exactly what changes in the immune system can be triggered by prolonged stay in zero gravity and other factors of space flight and what preventive measures can help preserve the health of astronauts both during the flight itself and after its completion. The state of the immune system in space has been studied at various levels, from molecular to organ. There was a change in the morphological parameters of the immune system organs, violations of the ratio of their morpho-functional zones, and cellular composition. Various disorders in signaling pathways of differentiation, activation and death of immune system cells are shown. One of the most studied topics is the decrease in the activity of T-lymphocytes recorded by many researchers, however, even in this matter, the mechanisms of the violations occurring and their connection with the conditions of space flight have not been fully clarified. The relevance of methods for modeling microgravity conditions, such as various types of hanging, rotation on a clinostat, and immobilization is due both to their greater availability for research compared to space flights, and the importance of studying the role of various factors associated with flight in changes occurring in the human and animal bodies. This article presents an overview of publications devoted to a wide range of issues related to the state of the immune system in space flights and ground simulation conditions and attempts to combine the results of various levels of research – molecular, cellular and morphological.

Published: December 2021

The aim is to study macro- and microscopic structure, as well as the cellular composition of the glands of the sphincter zones of large intestine of adults of different age groups.

Material and methods. On autopsy material obtained from 30 people, without signs of pathology of the digestive tract of three age groups: 20–29 years, 50–59 years, 90–99 years, the structure of the glandular apparatus of the sphincter zones was studied. The areas of the Gerlach flap, Girsch sphincters, Payr–Strauss, Bally, O'bern–Pirogov–Moutier were considered. Quantitative morphometry was performed on histological preparations stained with methylene blue, followed by fixation in a saturated solution of ammonium molybdenum (picric acid), hematoxylin-eosin, picrofuchsin according to Van Gieson. Methods of parametric statistics based on the Statistica 6.0 program were used for statistical data processing.

Results. The analysis of the number, size and cellular composition of the glands of the sphincter zones of the large intestine revealed an increase in both the number of glands and their size in all age groups compared to the proximally adjacent areas of the intestine, on average by 1.3–1.5 times. In a similar range, individual indicators of the number of epithelial cells in the glands of the sphincter zones of the colon increased. At the same time, the cellular composition of the glands of the sphincter zones and adjacent areas of the intestinal wall was similar to neighboring areas, with predominant goblet-shaped epithelial cells (52.9–54.2% of cells on the longitudinal section of the gland) and the presence of absorption cells (29.9–31.2%), undifferentiated – 11.9–13.2% and argyrophilic endocrinocytes – 1.4–5.3%.

Conclusion. Against the background of narrowing of the lumen of the large intestine in the area of the sphincters and changes in the nature of the mucous membrane, there is an increase in the size and density of the localization of glands in all age groups. This confirms the thesis about the formation of a protective barrier that provides a local adaptive potential of this area of the intestinal wall, against the background of increased mechanical effects of intestinal masses.

Published: December 2021

O documento normativo Base Nacional Comum Curricular - Ensino Fundamental (BNCC-EF), promoveu muitas mudanças no currículo de Ciências, com destaque para a Botânica e a Educação Ambiental, que sofreram um enorme apagamento. Esse documento norteia o quê e o como ensinar, por meio da lista de objetos do conhecimento, competências e habilidades listadas nele. Além dos conteúdos, as práticas pedagógicas são fundamentais para a construção do conhecimento no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, principalmente em Botânica, que muitas vezes, limita-se ao método conteudista, sem proporcionar experiências práticas significativas. Desse modo, como forma de propor um Ensino de Ciências inovador e propositivo em relação às problemáticas envolvendo a BNCC, fomos desafiados na componente curricular de Fundamentos da Educação, no Curso de Licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas, da Universidade Federal do Pampa, a desenvolver uma proposta pedagógica inovadora, para a qual escolhemos trabalhar casando estas duas temáticas. Assim, objetivando popularizar o conhecimento sobre a importância ecológica das Briófitas, promover e motivar a Educação Ambiental dos educandos, propusemos uma intervenção pedagógica que visava educar ambientalmente a partir dos conhecimentos prévios e do protagonismo. A metodologia da proposta baseia-se em três momentos pedagógicos, sendo eles: o levantamento dos conhecimentos prévios, construção do conhecimento conceitual e aplicação prática e o levantamento dos conhecimentos construídos, amparados pela Teoria da Aprendizagem Significativa, promovendo o protagonismo estudantil e a motivação para a aprendizagem. Consideramos a promoção da autonomia estudantil e o trabalho com as temáticas escolhidas de suma importância, apontando a necessidade do trabalho pedagógico ser planejado para além da BNCC.

Brand as an innovation—The case of Czech wine
Authors: Zavodny Pospisil Jan
Published: December 2021

The Czech Republic is not a typical wine-growing country, yet winemaking and viticulture are among the oldest Czech crafts. Although the situation is slightly improving today, domestic wine production is not very preferred by Czech consumers since more than two-thirds of the wine that Czechs drink each year is imported. In the long term, the worst situation prevailed with the sales of a young wine. The cause was twofold: On the one hand, the market was already penetrated by imported Beaujolais nouveau, which became a synonym for the young wine. On the other, a peculiar Czechs’ taste for young wine was also an obstacle. As a young wine, many Czechs drink partially fermented must from grapevine fruits called “Burčák”. The young wine market was therefore seemingly penetrated with a low possibility of new brands entering it. The proposed case study will describe an ongoing campaign in which a new brand, “Svatomartinské víno”, was created. With this brand, it was possible to change the Czech consumers’ view of immature wines fundamentally. Thanks to the innovative branding approach, the product, which Czech consumers had neglected for many years, became a superior and must-have product for broad consumers. Also, the relationship between the brand and consumers has been established. The new brand has become a potential for many other related events. Last but not least, the consumption of domestic wine increased, which led to the support of local wineries and related regions.

Polexit – Is the Exit of Poland from the EU a Viable Option?
Authors: Florea Dumitrita , Gales Narcisa
Published: December 2021

States must respect the interests of the international community since they must exercise their powers in a manner consistent with the general rules of international law; the territorial competence of the State is in this case limited, not only to foreigners, but also to their own residents, this means that the role of the state is to protect its own citizens, but also foreign citizens. The State must also exercise its competence in a manner that maintains the freedom of international communications. From the outset, the European Communities have sought to achieve forceful cooperation between Member States than that resulting from co-oping organizations. To this end, the states put themselves in a more similar perspective to the federal aspirations, which were, conceived at the Hague Congress in May 1948, and were then struck by the conceptions of proponents of institutionalized cooperation. Initially, in the West, the European construction took the form of co-operation organizations conceived in the late 40 years, some of which were due to American-inspired initiatives. After years of sustained efforts to recover and rebuild Europe, it faces the creation of a actually broader Community than that of industrialized countries, made up of multiple organizations operating on a solidarity basis and finding a balance in their development. The cooperation organizations set up in the West come to add new, restricted organizations in the early 50 years, not other than the European Communities, which contribute to a new federal vision.

Published: December 2021

Society, in general, and every local collectivity, in particular, needs public administrations to carry out administrative activities dedicated to concrete social needs. Starting from this necessity, through its content, this paper aims to analyze the opinions of dignitaries and civil servants, as well as members of the local community regarding the administration activity carried out at the Institution of Horodnic de Sus City Hall in Suceava County. Achieved by ensuring the comparability of the data collected, this micro-research reveals that both those who manage and those who are managed show a favorable attitude in relation to almost all aspects surveyed: the adaptation of administrative activities to the needs of the local community, the promptness and efficiency of the administrative activity in the City Hall Institution, the, the satisfaction regarding the management of both the City Hall Institution and the locality. However, the study highlights the fact that regarding the existence of bureaucracy in the administrative activity and in the relation with the members of the local community, the opinions expressed by the two categories of respondents are different. If in the perception of dignitaries and civil servants alignment of the administrative activity with the development priorities of the locality, the answers are unfavorable to the bureaucratic phenomenon, by contrast, from the opinions expressed by the locals, it results that the City Hall-citizens relation is affected by bureaucracy.

Meanings of the Autonomy Concept
Authors: Terec-Vlad Loredana
Published: December 2021

The concept of autonomy has a long way to go as it is used as a synonym for the terms self-government or self-determination (Crudu, 2007). This concept is placed in the context of debates on morality, bioethics, law or political philosophy, and it also appeals to self-awareness, to the right of the individual to live life freely, in his own way, provided it does not harm other people. In this paper we will bring to the fore the Kantian perspective of the concept of autonomy, while making the connection with the concept of freedom.
GENDERED GEOGRAPHIES OF POWER
Authors: Krstić Višnja I.
Published: December 2021

This paper poses a parallel analysis of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway and Jean Rhys’s Voyage in the Dark, two novels set in London around the First World War that complement one another with regard to representation of women in the city. In focus are Woolf’s and Rhys’s heroines who belong different social classes. With a view to producing a fuller picture of the London strata of the time, the essay concentrates on a dual front: it examines the position the protagonists enjoy in respect to their gender as well as in respect to their social status. While Rhys’s Anna is a young woman from a distant colony, that is an outsider with no permanent residence in London, Woolf’s Clarissa Dalloway, however seemingly privileged, is greatly disadvantaged by her restricted experience of the metropolis. The essay argues that in these two novels London is a source of double marginalisation – a city unjust to the colonial subjects but unjust to women of all strata. As a theoretical background, the essay uses the concept of gendered geographies of power, which are supposed to help us reveal how different power structures affect the cityscape on both macro and micro level.
LOKUCIONI, ILOKUCIONI I PERLOKUCIONI ČINOVI I POLIFUNKCIONALNOST JEZIKA DRAME
Authors: Ranđelović Jovana
Published: December 2021

Teorija govornih činova nesumnjivo je zaslužna za jedan od najvećih pomaka u razumevanju jezičkog fenomena. Kao lingvistička teorija primarno ukorenjena u pragmatici ona predstavlja koncept čija se primena može proširiti i na jezik književnosti čime bi se nadomestio manjak koji u ovoj oblasti postoji. U ovom radu biće posmatrano kako se teorija o lokucionom, ilokucionom i perlokucionom činu, koju definiše Džon Ostin (John Austine), može primeniti na polifunkcionalnost jezika drame, model koji uvodi Manfred Pfister (Manfred Pfister). Prvi deo rada pre svega će se pozabaviti sličnostima i razlikama između svakodnevnog jezika i jezika drame, nakon čega će uslediti kratak prikaz šest funkcija jezika drame i Ostinove klasifikacije govornih činova. U drugom delu rada lokucioni, ilokucioni i perlokucioni činovi biće posmatrani u okviru pojedinačnih funkcija jezika drame, sa ciljem da se utvrdi kada je i u kojoj meri moguće govoriti o njima.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tinjauan hukum ekonomi syariah terhadap kenaikan harga masker pada masa Pandemi Covid-19. Metode penelitian menggunakan penelitian lapangan (field reseach) dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, dokumentasi, dan kepustakaan. Selanjutnya data dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa penyebab kenaikan harga masker tersebut dikarenakan adanya ketidakseimbangan antara penawaran (supply) dan permintaan (demand). Bahwa jika adanya kenaikan harga barang ini disebabkan karena adanya faktor konsumsi masyarakat yang tinggi akan suatu komoditas barang dan terjadinya ketidakseimbangan antara supply dan demand di pasaran. Tinjauan hukum ekonomi syariah terhadap kenaikan harga masker bahwa dalam mekanisme pasar ini penetapan harga jual berlaku secara alami, harga tersebut bergantung pada supply dan demand yang ada. Ketika permintaan naik dan pasokan rendah maka harga-harga akan naik dan jika permintaan rendah dan pasokan tinggi maka harga-harga akan turun.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kandungan najis mutawassithoh dan mukhoffafah sebagai suatu studi awal pengembangan inovasi berupa desain alat deteksi najis yang nantinya dapat dimanfaatkan untuk mendeteksi keberadaan najis yang melekat pada tubuh, pakaian, tempat/alat ibadah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode framing dan studi literatur. Penelitian ini dimulai dari kegiatan penetapan sampel. Total sampel ditentukan yakni air seni bayi laki-laki yang belum diberi makan apa-apa selain ASI dan air seni orang dewasa. Selanjutnya data akan dianalisis melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan verifikasi. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan pada urine kategori mutawassithoh dan mukhoffafah dari segi koefisien serapan liniernya, kandungan amonia dan persentase bakteri. Mendeteksi najis dapat menggunakan sensor fisika dan sensor kimia. Sensor fisika mendeteksi suatu besaran berdasarkan hukum-hukum fisika, yaitu seperti sensor cahaya, suara, gaya, kecepatan, percepatan, maupun sensor suhu. Sensor kimia mendeteksi jumlah zat kimia dengan jalan mengubah besaran kimia menjadi besaran listrik yang melibatkan beberapa reaksi kimia, seperti misalnya pada sensor pH, sensor oksigen, sensor ledakan, serta sensor gas.

Formal methods (FM) are mathematics-based software development methods aimed at producing ``code for a nuclear power reactor''. That is, due application of FM can produce bug-free, zero-defect, correct-by-construction, guaranteed, certified software. However, the software industry seldom use FM. One of the main reasons for such a situation is that there exists the perception (which might well be a fact) that FM increase software costs. On the other hand, FM can be partially applied thus producing high-quality software, although not necessarily bug-free.

In this paper we outline some FM related techniques whose application the cryptocurrency community should take into consideration because they could bridge the gap between ``loose web code'' and ``code for a nuclear power reactor''. We include relevant case studies in the area of cryptocurrency.

Aim: The aim of our study is to investigate the efficacy of the region of interest (ROI) and histogram analysis method in cases where distal ureteral stone and phlebolith distinction cannot be made in abdominal computed tomography (CT) with the stone protocol. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 adult patients (> 16 years old) with stones ≥3 seen in the distal third of the ureter on their tomography and 100 adult patients with pelvic phleboliths ≥3 were included in the study. For histogram analysis, the ROI measurement was conducted at the largest dimension with the most selectable edges using the hand-drawing tool. Results: A total of 100 adult patients (> 16 years old) with stones ≥3 seen in the distal third of the ureter on their tomography and 100 adult patients with pelvic phleboliths ≥3 were included in the study. For histogram analysis, the ROI measurement was conducted at the largest dimension with the most selectable edges using the hand-drawing tool. Conclusions: Histogram analysis can be used to differentiate between distal ureteral stone and pelvic phleboliths and may contribute to the diagnosis without additional examination.
A representação do movimento e o duplo estatuto do corpo
Authors: Borges Cristian
Published: December 2021

Ao traçar um breve panorama da representação do movimento, da arte parietal pré-histórica, passando pelo Renascimento e pelas vanguardas artísticas do início do século XX, até chegar à era das imagens digitais, percebemos como a figura humana passa a exercer um papel cada vez mais central nesse tipo de representação dinâmica. A partir das noções de “cinesfera” (Rudolf Laban) e “egosfera” (Oskar Schlemmer), identificamos nesse percurso um duplo estatuto do corpo: ora funcionando como ponto de ancoragem da arquitetura espacial, ora como ponto cego de um olhar móvel e maquínico que remete ao “cine-olho” vertoviano.
Pre-Hospital and In-Hospital Management of an Abdominal Impalement Injury Caused by a Tree Branch

Published: December 2021

In South Korea, most patients who visit trauma centers with abdominal injuries have blunt trauma, and penetrating injuries are relatively rare. In extremely rare cases, some patients are admitted with a long object penetrating their abdomen, and these injuries are referred to as abdominal impalement injuries. Most cases of impalement injuries lead to fatal bleeding, and patients often die at the scene of the accident. However, patients who survive until reaching the hospital can have a good prognosis with optimal treatment. A 68-year-old female patient was admitted to the trauma center with a 4-cm-thick tree branch impaling her abdomen. The patient was transported by a medical helicopter and had stable vital signs at admission. The branch sticking out of the abdomen was quite long; thus, we carefully cut the branch with an electric saw to perform computed tomography (CT). CT revealed no signs of major blood vessel injury, but intestinal perforation was observed. During laparotomy, the tree branch was removed after confirming that there were no vascular injuries, and enterostomy was performed because of extensive intestinal injury. After treating other injuries, the patient was discharged without any complications except colostomy. Abdominal impalement injuries are treated using various approaches depending on the injury mechanism and injured region. However, the most important consideration is that the impaled object should not be removed during transportation and resuscitation. Instead, it should only be removed after checking for injuries to blood vessels during laparotomy in an environment where injury control is possible.

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted the world like no other pandemic in history. COVID-19 has progressed rapidly affecting health care in the global community. In this work, we look at the web user interface for elderly patients to easily keep track of their daily temperature and their pill consumption record and see if there is a need to visit a doctor. We are going to use Efficient Net, a Deep Learning Convolution Neural Network (CNN) architecture for systematical use of model scaling and balancing network depth, width, and resolution for better performance of our model. We are using angular components to develop user interface and expressJS to write backend services and MongoDB to store user records for the application which we learn in depth throughout the paper. we have trained and developed a model that could successfully detect people from the video and confirm the pill consumption by patient with high accuracy rate connected to a THT thermal camera. This study will help medical professionals, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, in remotely monitoring the patient’s dosage and determining appropriate action in case of non-compliance.
