The Social and Cultural Challenges of Political Development in Kurdistan Region of Iraq
Authors: Rahman Ahmad Mohammed , Faraj Sharif Amin
Published: March 2022

The Kurdistan Region society of Iraq is in a transitional phase, it is neither a completely traditional nor a completely modern society. Therefore, it becomes a reason for the emergence of a state of anomy and conflict between traditional and modern forces on political and social levels. Traditional forces such as clans have joined dominant political parties in order to preserve their traditional customs, law and power. In addition, ruling parties abuses those traditional forces during the elections and take advantages of them in the military conflicts. In other words, both ruling parties and traditional forces influence one another. In this perspective, it will be challenging for the political parties to carry out a radical social change to make political and social developments because they mainly depends on those traditional forces. To put it in another way, if the ruling forces do so, the traditional social forces will not comply, consequently they go to join other political parties as an important social force. In a nutshell, there is a backward social structure in the Kurdistan Region on which the political parties have been made that has an effect on the nature and formation of political parties. Since democracy and the election mechanism, in particular, will make the people’s vote to be measured to achieve political authority, as such, the main functions and focus of political parties will be designed to attract the people and harmonize themselves with the backward social reality rather than trying to change the backward social structures. That being so, the same backward structure will reproduce over and over which is a huge challenge in the way of political and social development.

Authors:   SSIAR Bangalore, PR Arjun
Published: March 2022

The challenge of modern machining industries is focused mainly on the achievement of high quality, in terms of work piece dimensional accuracy, surface finish, high production rate, lubrication medium, vibration of tool, less wear on the cutting tools, economy of machining in terms of cost saving and increase the performance of the product with reduced environmental impact. In metal cutting industries, surface roughness (SR) of a product is very crucial in determining the quality. Good SR not only assures quality, but also reduces manufacturing cost. In machining operation, the quality of SR is an important requirement for many turned work pieces. In Drilling operation, there are many parameters such as cutting speed, depth of cut, point angle, vibration of tool and feed rate that have great impact on the SR. The quality of the drilled part is greatly influenced by the cutting conditions, tool geometry, tool material, machining process, chip formation, work piece material, tool wear, and vibration during cutting, etc. Thus in material removal processes, improper selection of cutting conditions will result in rough surfaces. Moreover, it is necessary to optimize the cutting parameters to obtain an extended tool life and better productivity, which are influenced by cutting force. Hence in this work, experimental works were conducted on 304 L Stainless Steel for optimal setting of drilling parameters such as cutting speed, feed, lubricating medium and point angle with the objective of minimization of surface roughness, cutting force, vibration of tool, tool wear, tool temperature and torque. The selected drill was TiN coated HSS twist drill grade. The drilling process carried out as dry machining. Index Terms— radial drilling, optimization, 304L stainless steel, tool wear, surface roughness

"The continuous development of oil exploration and exploitation leads to the need to highlight the early effects of hydrocarbons, especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on marine organisms. In this regard, there are worldwide biomonitoring programs that aim to assess the effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The physiological response of marine organisms is investigated both at functionally (reproductive, respiratory, cardiovascular and neurological disorders), tissular, cellular and molecular levels (histopathological evaluation, DNA damage, cytochrome P4501A, ethoxy resorufin-O-deethylase (EROD)). This paper reviews the changes induced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in marine organisms and their potential to be used as suitable biomarkers to assess the health of aquatic ecosystems.

"The management of marine areas are guided by environmental policies, such as European Union’s Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), Water Framework Directive (WFD) and Habitats Directive, all requiring periodic assessment and reporting. In 2020, the macrozoobenthos was monitored on the entire Black Sea Romanian shelf at depths ranging between 10 and 100 m. Out of the 43 sampling points of the marine monitoring network, 56 samples were collected in 22 selected stations distributed among broad sedimentary habitat types in Romanian waters in three marine reporting units (variable salinity waters, coastal waters and marine waters). Six types of sedimentary habitats were identified in the above-mentioned marine reporting units according to Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) clearly specifies that assessment must take into consideration benthic broad habitat types, including their associated biological communities. To assess the ecological status according to the MSFD of macrozoobenthos from the Romanian shore, M-AMBI*(n) index was used. Following the assessment, the ecological status of the macrozoobenthic communities was determined as good in all three marine reporting units. The data collected in 2020 will contribute to the six-year assessment of the benthic broad habitats and establishment of thresholds for different sub-types.

Native forage legumes may have potential for summer/fall grazing in semiarid prairie regions in mixture with grasses. The objective of this study was to evaluate two native clovers in binary mixtures with the introduced grasses when harvested in July and September to simulate late summer or fall stockpile forage. Eight binary clover–grass mixtures were seeded in a split-plot design with 4 replications at Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada. Mixtures included (i) AC Antelope white prairie clover (WPC)-Admiral meadow bromegrass (MBG), (ii) WPC-AC Success hybrid bromegrass (HBG), (iii) WPC-Bozoisky Russian wildrye (RWR), (iv) WPC-TomRWR, (v) AC Lamour purple prairie clover (PPC)-AdmiralMBG, (vi) PPC-AC SuccessHBG, (vii) PPC-BozoiskyRWR, and (viii) PPC-TomRWR. Clover establishment differed (p = 0.03) in July where WPC had 77.8% greater proportion in mixture than PPC, although both clovers increased (p < 0.001) in September to similar legume proportions, 663.2 and 876.1 kg/ha, respectively. Clovers with bromegrasses produced 41.9% more forage dry matter yield in summer than clovers with Russian wildryes (p < 0.001), though the latter mixtures had slightly better nutritive value (avg. 7.0% vs. 5.2% crude protein (CP). Clover–MBG exhibited higher (53.6%) in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) than Clover–HBG (51.2%) (p = 0.04). Purple prairie clover with grass or both clovers in mixture with bromegrasses, produced adequate forage biomass for summer and fall grazing, except clovers with Bozoisky RWR, while clovers with both RWR cultivars had acceptable forage nutritive value for summer in this semiarid prairie region.

Statelessness Among Former Bhutanese Citizens: An Issue of Public Concern
Authors: Karki Ram
Published: March 2022

Much has been studied and written on Gross National Happiness (GNH) and Bhutanese Refugee Issue in the past decades, but scholars and researchers are yet to write on the issue of statelessness among the former Bhutanese Citizens. In this article, I have attempted to study and analyze this issue to find the root cause of Bhutanese Citizens becoming stateless in their own country and in the diaspora. An attempt has been made to find the suitable answer of how a country that propagates the philosophy of happiness could revoke the citizenship of its people and escape from crime. This paper mainly focuses on the issue of statelessness among the former Bhutanese Refugees in their country of resettlement and studies the activities of respective community organizations that make the issue public for its resolution. A phenomenological approach was followed to write this article.
Medicaid Reimbursement of Pediatric Surgeries
Authors: Eckhoff Michael , Tadlock Joshua
Published: March 2022

Intro: Medicaid is an important means of health care insurance for millions of people in the United States and 49.5% of Medicaid patients are children. . Reimbursements in Medicaid have been shown to be a limiting factor in access to health care in pediatric patients. This study investigates the amount of difference in reimbursement between Medicaid and Medicare, as well as state to state variability.

Methods: Medicaid and Medicare fee reimbursements were collected from each state for 10 different common pediatric orthopedic procedures. The difference between and variability of reimbursement were calculated for both Medicaid and Medicare.

Results: There was an average difference of -22.2% ± 26.9 or -$184.14 ± $226.89 in Medicaid reimbursement compared to Medicare. New Jersey had the greatest difference at 72.7% less reimbursement with Medicaid, while Delaware had higher Medicaid reimbursement of 95.2% compared to Medicare. Only three states had higher reimbursement with Medicaid compared to Medicare for all 10 procedures. Additionally, there was statistically higher coefficient of variation with Medicaid reimbursement compared to Medicare (0.26 vs 0.46) among states.

Conclusion: Medicaid reimbursement is significantly lower compared to Medicare for several common pediatric orthopedic procedures across the United States. The lower Medicaid reimbursement fees may contribute as a barrier to care access for an at-risk population of children.

Authors: Pinochet Cobos Carla , Muñoz-Retamal Javiera
Published: March 2022

En este artículo analizamos los resultados de un estudio cualitativo que documenta los efectos subjetivos de la indistinción entre tiempos laborales y tiempos de ocio en el sector creativo, poniendo atención a las experiencias de las mujeres que se desenvuelven en el campo de las artes visuales de Santiago de Chile. Discutiremos, a la luz de los datos empíricos, los obstáculos conceptuales y prácticos de pensar un tiempo de ocio propiamente tal para las mujeres. En ese marco, y retomando el concepto de “trabajo fronterizo” desarrollado por Christena Nippert-Eng (1996), buscaremos visibilizar cómo estas gestiones permanentes impactan de modos específicos en su quehacer profesional y en su subjetividad artística. Reflexionaremos aquí acerca de cómo dicho trabajo fronterizo las lleva a enfrentar una sobrecarga que se agudiza con la maternidad y las empuja a desarrollar diversas estrategias para habitar estas temporalidades intersticiales.
Análisis de las políticas sociales en el multiculturalismo neoliberal chileno. Reconocer, proteger y activar
Authors: Navarrete Saavedra Rodrigo
Published: March 2022

En el artículo presento un análisis de tres configuraciones discursivas que es posible identificar desde un corpus de fuentes estatales, supra-estatales y para-estatales de etnogubernamentalidad, resultados que son parte de un estudio sobre las políticas sociales en el multiculturalismo neoliberal de la posdictadura chilena. Teóricamente intento extender elementos de la analítica foucaultiana del gobierno de las poblaciones hacia la nueva cuestión étnica y el multiculturalismo neoliberal, pero situados y apropiados desde un posicionamiento decolonial latinoamericano. Del análisis del corpus textual producido, presento y discuto las tres configuraciones discursivas que mejor expresan la racionalidad etnogubernamental y sostienen las tecnologías de intervención de las políticas sociales multiculturalistas del período estudiado, relativas al reconocimiento, la protección y la activación del sujeto indígena.
Hacer morir-Dejar morir. Bio-Necropolítica y Antagonismo Capital-Trabajo
Authors: Fuentes Díaz Antonio
Published: March 2022

A partir del contexto de la violencia en México impulsada por la Guerra contra el narcotráfico (2006-2012) y la difusión de repertorios de alta letalidad y suplicio corporal, una serie de interpretaciones han enfocado su estudio, basadas en las derivas de la biopolítica —necropolítica y tanatopolítica—. El artículo discute con esas interpretaciones proponiendo que la utilización de este marco conceptual gana capacidad heurística para entender fenómenos contemporáneos de producción de nuda vida, comprendiendo esta categoría más allá de la soberanía y vinculándola con los estudios sobre el trabajo y la acumulación de capital. El artículo propone entender la biopolítica como un dispositivo diferenciado de acuerdo con contextos históricos específicos, que es atravesado por las formas concretas de la contradicción capital-trabajo. Sostiene que la producción de vidas prescindibles se puede entender por la precariedad del trabajo y las dinámicas de la acumulación de capital, que generan ganancia aún con la muerte.

To study the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions, to study the health effects, and to investigate the concentration of Pb and Cd in indoor dust samples, drinking water samples, and personal air samples and to assess the health risk among workers who worked at e-waste recycling shops in the southern region, Thailand. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among workers from 136 electronic waste recycling stores in Southern Thailand, between January and July 2021. The study questionnaire was given to the 272 e-waste workers participating. Indoor dust, drinking water, and personal air samples were collected 27 e-waste shops and the concentrations of Pb and Cd in all samples were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Descriptive statistics and the simple linear regression were used to analyze. Overall, 176 employees (64.7%) suffered nasal irritation, 181 employees (66.5%) reported coughing/sneezing, and 163 employees (59.9%) had inconvenient breathing/jamming symptoms. Also, 158 employees (58.1%) had skin peeling symptoms, and 188 employees (69.1%) had muscle aches. The results indicate the positive influence of increasing knowledge and attitudes on the average practice score. The hazardous index (HI)-values of indoor dust samples, drinking water samples, and personal air samples were less than 1, was considered health-protective. The results will provide the direct evidence needed by e-waste managers to warn learners. Thus, there is a need for education programme to increase knowledge among the workers. In addition, information dissemination, involvement with organizations and associations is a necessity for workers in this study.
Quantifying the Shape of the Greater Sciatic Notch Using Elliptical Fourier Analysis
Authors: Byram Jessica , Nawrocki Stephen , Latham Krista
Published: March 2022

The greater sciatic notch is a well-established, sexually dimorphic feature in humans. The traditional anthropological perspective describes females as having wide and shallow notches, while the male notch is described as being narrow and deep. However, the size and shape of the notch can vary between populations, which can complicate the use of this feature as a sex determinant in forensic analyses. The current study investigates the relative contributions of sex, ancestry, and age at death to the shape of the greater sciatic notch using a morphometric approach called elliptical Fourier analysis (EFA). The study sample includes 975 dry bone specimens obtained from three skeletal collections, including three ancestral groups. The results indicate that the notch varies systematically with each of the aforementioned variables, with sex having the greatest contribution. While classical anthropological descriptions of notch shape differences between the sexes arepartially confirmed, the relationship between sex and notch shape is more complex than previously assumed. Females tend to displayshallow and symmetrical notches, while those of males are deep, asymmetrical, and tend to demonstrate a piriform tubercle. A smallerproportion of the variation in notch shape is attributable to the other variables. The results for ancestry indicate that African Americanstend to have short and narrow notches, while European Americans tend to exhibit short and wide notches. Chilean notches tend to be tall and wide. When considering age at death, the notch appears to deepen and widen with increasing age, suggesting that the changes are resorptive rather than depositional.

A VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA AS MULHERES E A PORNOGRAFIA ATRAVÉS DA TEORIA DE CATHARINE MACKINNON
Authors: Barcelos Aciely Mendes
Published: March 2022

O presente trabalho trata da questão cultural prevista nas sociedades patriarcais, referentes à submissão e dominação das mulheres, à luz da teoria proposta pela feminista Catharine MacKinnon. Dessa forma, a autora destaca em suas obras o papel da mídia pornográfica na representação da figura feminina como um objeto, isto é, elas assumem papeis vinculados à sexualidade, visando a satisfação de desejos masculinos. Assim, vê-se que a pornografia se constrói como um instrumento responsável pela naturalização da perspectiva discriminatória em relação às mulheres nos diversos âmbitos da sociedade. Nesse sentido, fica claro os obstáculos para a efetivação da igualdade de gênero. Além disso, também se apresenta como um importante aspecto de seu estudo, especialmente no seu livro Only Words, a questão do direito e regulamentação da pornografia. Sob essa ótica, Mackinnon é contrária ao entendimento de que as cenas pornográficas seriam apenas reconhecidas como um discurso responsável por gerar difamação. Portanto, em oposto ao que é declarado pela lei, ela busca demonstrar que a pornografia constitui atos de discriminação, uma vez que implicam verdadeiras ações de violência, que geram segregação. Dessa maneira, explicita que o direito não pode assumir uma posição neutra, a fim de garantir meios para que as mulheres possam ser reconhecidas como sujeitos de direito da sua própria história.

Neste presente artigo visa-se estudar a limitação do poder empregatício, tendo em vista a teleologia do ordenamento jurídico pátrio, que tem como fim último proteger a dignidade inerente aos seres humanos. Expõe-se a construção histórica do Estado Democrático de Direito deflagrado pela Constituição da República de 1988. Analisa-se como a principiologia jurídico-axiológica elaborada em torno do princípio da dignidade humana, fundamento do paradigma constitucional atual, serve de limitação ao poder empregatício, por intermédio de todas as garantias fundamentais, especificamente, trabalhistas (ou não), que resguardam os indivíduos em seu ambiente laboral. A metodologia é analítica interpretativa de investigação bibliográfica e é utilizado o método indutivo ao longo do texto.
PINK TAX NO BRASIL

Published: March 2022

O termo Pink Tax, em tradução livre para o português significa “imposto rosa” ou “tributorosa” e é uma expressão que faz referência ao sobrepreço de certos produtos destinados àsmulheres. Pressupõe-se que, muitas vezes, o fato de um produto ser da cor rosa ou apresentaralgumas especificações que possam identificá-lo como feminino, o torna mais caro do queprodutos idênticos ou similares, mas considerados como neutros ou com característicasmasculinas. A presente pesquisa pretende testar a seguinte hipótese: os produtos de usodestinado às mulheres são mais caros que os produtos destinados aos homens. Para tanto,foram levantados dados para analisar a (in)existência dos impostos rosas, comparando preçosdos produtos e monitorando os valores por meio do comércio online e mediante pesquisa doproduto no sítio eletrônico das lojas.
CONSENSUALISMO ADMINISTRATIVO

Published: March 2022

Ninguém desconhece o cenário de crise do Judiciário em que hoje se vive em que o estado decoisas que vigora é o de um excessivo volume de processos e uma ausência de mecanismosprocedimentais adequados para resolvê-los em tempo útil. Nesse contexto, recrudesce noBrasil um movimento pela implementação de uma política pública de tratamento adequado deconflitos no Brasil, em que são confiadas grandes esperanças em mecanismos amigáveis desolução de conflitos, como a mediação, para que se possa trazer às pessoas do povo àpossibilidade de terem um acesso à ordem jurídica justa. A garantia de tal direito supõe adisposição dos meios adequados para que a sociedade e as instituições possam ser ouvidas emjuízo e terem seus problemas jurídicos atendidos da mais eficiente possível. Neste sentido,detectando que ainda vigora uma grande resistência na utilização dos mecanismosconsensuais no âmbito administrativo, o objetivo da presente pesquisa consiste em anunciarque tal oposição é infundada, não se coadunando com as premissas da doutrina administrativamoderna ou com a verdadeira noção de interesse público. Para além disso, será apresentadatambém um debate inicial acerca do fato de que utilização dos métodos adequados deresoluções de controvérsias pela Administração Pública fornece uma via amparada por lei quepode ser extremante importante para garantir a eficiência e a facilitação do acesso à justiça,não podendo ter suas potencialidades negligenciadas por aqueles sujeitos da AdministraçãoPública. No âmbito de debate acerca dos contextos conflituosos que envolvam aAdministração Pública, não se duvida que a mediação desponta como uma opção que possaoferecer economia de dinheiro e tempo, além de dispensabilidade do paternalismo estatal, secomparada com a opção por sentenciamento.
The Biology and the Evolutionary Dynamics of Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli Pathotypes
Authors: U. Lawal Opeyemi , R. Parreira Valeria , Goodridge Lawrence
Published: March 2022

Escherichia coli is a commensal of the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals, and a leading cause of gastroenteritis, bloodstream, and urinary tract infection, among others. Pathogenic E. coli causing diarrhea is delineated into six different types (pathotypes) based on the type of infection they cause. While these pathotypes have similar mechanisms to colonize the intestinal epithelial layers and cause diseases, they differ in their capacity to acquire virulence, resistance determinants, and other accessory genes essential for niche adaptation. The advent of whole-genome sequencing technologies has greatly enhanced our understanding of the physiology, emergence, and global spread of multidrug-resistant and pathogenic clones of E. coli. In this chapter, we provided a snapshot of the resistome and virulome, as well as their contributions to the ecological adaptation, evolution, and dissemination of E. coli pathotypes.

Published: March 2022

In the poultry industry, the demand for safe and quality meat in the market has increased considerably. The type of feed used and the management of poultry have a significant impact on the safety and quality characteristics of poultry meat. The use of additives that increase productivity and improve meat quality has generated much research. Nanoparticles, prebiotics, and probiotics have been used as growth promoters to increase and improve growth rate, performance, immunity, resistance to pathogens, as well as to improve meat quality. The type and level of these additives incorporated in the diets influence the animal’s development and meat quality parameters. The aim of the study was to report the results of scientific research on the use of food additives used in broiler nutrition and their effect on meat quality.
Dependence of Corrosion Resistance of Austenitic Chromium-Nickel Steels on the Magnetic State of Austenite
Authors: Snizhnoi Gennadii
Published: March 2022

Corrosive behavior of austenitic chromium-nickel steels from the magnetic state (parameter χ0) of austenite, pre-formed to interact with aggressive media are research. Correlation between the rate K of pitting corrosion and the specific magnetic susceptibility χ0 of austenite was experimentally established. It is experimentally established that the corrosion resistance of austenitic steels AISI304, 08Cr18Ni10, AISI 321, 08Cr18Ni10Тi (containing a low amount of δ-ferrite ∼0.005…0.5%) depends on the magnetic state of austenite: the corrosion rate of steel decreases with increases χ0 austenite. The tendency of change in the corrosion rate of austenitic alloy with a high nickel content 06Crh28NiMoCuTi (not contain δ-ferrite) has the opposite character: with increasing χ0, the corrosion rate of the alloy increases is revealed. For austenitic chromium-nickel steels, the corrosion rates of the individual (austenite (A), δ-ferrite (F), strain-induced α′-martensite (M)) and total (A + F, A + M and A + F + M) phases are determined. It is proposed to predict corrosion according to the specific magnetic susceptibility χ0 of austenite and the amount δ-ferrite.
Electrocardiographic Differential Diagnosis of Narrow QRS and Wide QRS Complex Tachycardias
Authors: Gun Song Bong
Published: March 2022

Narrow QRS complex tachycardias or Wide QRS complex tachycardias are common problems encountered in clinical practices. Although such tachycardias often occur in patients with a normal anatomy and/or function of heart and rarely represent life-threatening conditions, they are common sources of morbidity and/or mortality. Narrow QRS complex tachycardias are fast cardiac rhythms with QRS duration of 120 ms or less while wide QRS complex tachycardias are fast cardiac rhythms with QRS duration of 120 ms or more. Origins of narrow QRS complex tachycardias are above or within the His bundle. Wide QRS complex tachycardias can be ventricular tachycardias, supra-ventricular tachycardias with bundle branch block or accessory pathway. The purpose of this chapter is to present the differential diagnosis of narrow and wide QRS complex tachycardias.

Agricultural production depends on so many things. Proper nutrient management is one of them. It becomes a trend to apply excess amount of fertilizer for enhancing productivity without considering its effect on soil health. Vermicomposting is a process of scientifically decomposing agricultural, municipality, and industrial wastes into nutrient enriched compost by earthworms. Vermicompost not only balance underground soil environment and makes is a suitable habitat for soil micro biota but also improves above ground environment. Microbes are the fundamental element of ecosystem. Use of vermicompost increases growth and proliferation of microbes that amplify environment’s betterment. Vermicomposting is also affordable for resource poor small and marginal farmers. Therefore, vermicompost use is more economical than synthetic organic fertilizer. So, economic viability, environmental stability, and enhancing livelihood quality are the major causes for its worldwide adoption in food production.
