Published: June 2021

La investigación tuvo por objetivo evaluar la inhibición del crecimiento de líquenes y musgos presentes en los elementos líticos empleados en la construcción de fachadas de iglesias patrimoniales cusqueñas aplicando nanoburbujas de aire. Para dicho estudio se tomó una muestra de 20 elementos líticos provenientes de las canteras de origen para evitar experimentar en elementos pétreos de dichas iglesias. La longitud de cada muestra estuvo en el rango de 7 a 10 cm con presencia de agentes bióticos; la aplicación de nanoburbujas de aire se realizó por periodos de 10 minutos. Una vez concluido el experimento, las muestras fueron expuestas durante 04 semanas a factores climatológicos como lluvia, temperatura y presión atmosférica natural. En los resultados cualitativos se observa que las muestras con exposición de más de 10 min. lograron desprendimientos y secado del agente biótico. De las fotografías analizadas se puede concluir que las nanoburbujas de aire siguen surtiendo efecto en periodos prolongados en las muestras analizadas hasta el punto de eliminar la patología mientras que en la muestra control se observa propagación y crecimiento de los mismos.

Authors: López Martínez Teresa , Blanc García Mª del Rosario , García Bueno Ana
Published: June 2021

Para el estudio de una pintura mural arqueológica resulta de gran importancia el análisis de su soporte, esto es, del mortero. En este artículo se muestra la metodología seguida para el estudio comparativo de morteros procedentes de diversos ejemplos de pintura mural cuya cronología comprende desde época romana hasta época califal. Para su examen se ha llevado a cabo un análisis visual y una toma de muestra; las muestras seleccionadas han sido estudiadas con diferentes técnicas instrumentales: microscopía estereoscópica, microscopía óptica, microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM-EDX) y difracción de rayos X. Además, dada la similitud de los resultados obtenidos en estos primeros análisis, se procedió también a la realización de un estudio para establecer la distribución granulométrica y la relación entre aglomerante y árido. Todo ello ha permitido la caracterización de los diferentes estratos de mortero así como establecer diferencias y semejanzas entre los morteros pertenecientes a las distintas cronologías.

La falta de una fórmula común entre los profesionales y estudiosos que trabajan con los brocados aplicados ha llevado al grupo de trabajo europeo de especialistas en escultura policromada a definir un procedimiento para el examen, registro y representación gráfica que permita profundizar en el estudio de esta delicada y frágil técnica a través de una información normalizada. Este trabajo recoge los aspectos del brocado aplicado que han de ser examinados; cómo éstos pueden ser recogidos y registrados atendiendo a las condiciones y estrategias más inocuas para la obra y propone, por último, un procedimiento para su representación gráfica.
Principales patologías de degradación y técnicas de restauración de las vidrieras de hormigón
Authors: Cubillo Pepe
Published: June 2021

El presente estudio se centra principalmente en las llamadas vidrieras de hormigón, su historia, técnica de realización, los materiales que las componen, las principales patologías de deterioro que les afectan y una serie de directrices básicas para afrontar las tareas de conservación y restauración. El objetivo es poner de relieve la necesidad de impulsar el estudio, catalogación, restauración, conservación y valoración de esta parte importante de nuestro patrimonio vidriero entre los diferentes agentes implicados: escuelas, instituciones culturales, organismos oficiales, historiadores, restauradores, conservadores y talleres de creación de nuevas vidrieras.Entre las principales conclusiones que pueden extraerse en este documento destaca la vital importancia de realizar tareas periódicas de mantenimiento, pues de esta manera no sólo se garantiza una vida sana y duradera de la vidriera, sino que también pone de manifiesto que sin una regularidad en las inspecciones, los daños ocasionados pueden llegar a ser irreversibles.
Esquecer, para não lembrar: o patrimônio negro invisibilizado no centro legalmente protegido da Laguna, Brasil
Authors: Rocha Benício Danielle , Mesquita Ivie , Damazio de Jesús Letícia , Dos Santos Sebastião Maria Laura
Published: June 2021

Este trabalho objetiva averiguar o status da preservação do patrimônio imóvel referente à cultura negra, partícipe da história de Laguna (território luso, lócus do Tratado de Tordesilhas e terceira cidade mais antiga do Estado de Santa Catarina, no Brasil). Considera-se a hipótese de que o discurso histórico positivo de enaltecimento do branco, português cristão, fundamentou as ações preservacionistas no município lagunense, ignorando e desprezando os demais povos: a hegemonia do legado de descendência portuguesa cristã leva à invisibilização dos legados sobretudo indígena e negro. Questiona-se: o que configura o patrimônio imóvel dos negros na Laguna? A resposta a tal questão recorre à pesquisa histórica, incluindo a análise bibliográfica e iconográfica, e ao levantamento de dados in loco. Entre as principais conclusões preliminares, constata-se que, a despeito das sobrevivências dos espaços de presença negra no Centro legalmente protegido, estas não são deveras reconhecidas e valorizadas - em geral, não são legalmente protegidas.
Student Use of Library-Provided Materials in EdD Dissertations
Authors: Thomas William Joseph , Shouse Daniel
Published: June 2021

One of the tools collection managers can use to guide the selection and retention of books and journals is citation analysis. Although time-consuming to collect and analyze, citations by library users provide compelling evidence for keeping certain titles or growing collection support for specific subject areas, and may provide a good sense of which materials may be safely weeded. Citation analysis can also give an indication of how well the collection is meeting the needs of the students of the home institution. Research at East Carolina University confirms that the library provides substantial electronic journal coverage and somewhat less satisfactory monograph availability. Future research on the impact of open access is suggested, as well as an examination of the methods dissertation authors are using to access materials.

Kegiatan ini dikenal dengan pembelajaran daring/ online yang biasanya dilakukan melalui Zoom, Cisco Webex, Whatsapp Group (WAG), Google Meet, dll. Meskipun penggunaan platform komunikasi virtual ini dapat menunjang pembelajaran, pada suatu hari keberadaannya justru dapat membuat kelelahan di kalangan mahasiswa. Kondisi ini disebut dengan Zoom fatigue. Sementara itu, keberfungsian sosial pada setiap orang juga patut diperhitungkan dalam kondisi pandemi ini, apalagi jika mengalami Zoom fatigue. Sehubungan dengan hal tersebut, maka penelitian ini diarahkan untuk mengetahui bagaimana keberfungsian sosial mahasiswa setelah mengalami Zoom fatigue. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa mengalami kesulitan, baik dalam memenuhi kebutuhan dasarnya, menjalankan peran sosialnya, maupun dalam mengatasi permasalahannya.
On the representation by bivariate ridge functions

Published: June 2021

UDC 517.5
We consider the problem of representation of a bivariate function by sums of ridge functions. It is shown that if a function of a certain smoothness class is represented by a sum of finitely many arbitrarily behaved ridge functions, then it can also be represented by a sum of ridge functions of the same smoothness class. As an example, this result is applied to a homogeneous constant coefficient partial differential equation.

Recently, substantial progress has been made in diagnosis and treatment, complicated ectopic pregnancy is a not negligible cause of maternal mortality, being the leading cause of maternal death in the first trimester of pregnancy and responsible for 6% of maternal deaths. The aim of this study is to evaluate patients with ectopic pregnancy from a clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic point of view and to compare the influence of the management on hospitalization days and the preservation of patients fertility. This paper presents a prospective case-control study for 65 patients, who have been diagnosed serologically and ultrasonically. In the group of patients studied, 25% patients were treated with methotrexate, 65% were required surgical treatment, 4% required surgical and medical treatment, and 2% the management of expectation. Laparoscopy significantly reduces the hospitalization period, contributing decisively to the rapid reintegration into society, increasing patient comfort, an excellent mental tone that promotes earlier healing, the number of complications decreases.

1q44 microdeletion syndrome (1q44 monosomy) is a newly described genetic syndrome characterized by the haploinsufficiency of a 6 Mb locus on the long arm of chromosome 1. The main features are global developmental delay, seizures, hypotonia and craniofacial dysmorphism. With a prevalence below one in a million cases, this syndrome is very rare and, hence, often passes undiagnosed. We present the case of a one year old girl admitted to our hospital with global developmental delay and several congenital abnormalities suggesting a plurimalformative syndrome. Microarray analysis detected a 967 kb deletion in the 1q44 region as well as a a 530 kb microduplication in the 14q31.1q31.2 region, the latter having unknown clinical significance as it contains no currently known OMIM genes. The patient’s phenotype was in accordance to 1q44 microdeletion syndrome. Furthermore, after studying the 1q44 microdeletion syndrome cases reported so far in the literature, we have noticed that our patient presented previously undescribed features of this syndrome, namely prenatal hydronephrosis, bifid hallux and grey matter heterotopy. Based on the cerebral, renal and skeletal involvement in 1q44 microdeletion syndrome, we suspect these might be additional, previously unreported features of 1q44 microdeletion syndrome.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), including the severe subtype premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), DSM-5 category, represents a challenging combination of hormonal, environmental and neuroendocrine dysfunctions with menstrual cycle-related pattern. Controversies around the role of daily stress and associated anomalies of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis are related to the fact that stress is all the time, not just a fluctuating element. This is a narrative review on PMS/PMDD and cortisol profile. 46 articles are cited (between 2009 and 2020). PMD/PMDD underlines multiple imbalances and anomalies of the cortisol levels or its secretory pattern may be a few of them, despite the fact that multiple controversies are still present and most of studies are of limited statistical power. Women with PMS may have higher levels of cortisol in relationship to stress independently of the cycle phase, also a delay of CAR (cortisol awakening response) peak and a delayed cortisol slope during day time. It does not seem that CAR pattern is related to the phases of menstrual cycle. CAR anomalies may be associated with pain perception disturbances in PMS females. The most modern area of interest is related to allopregnanolone, a progesterone metabolite with neuroactive profile. The diurnal serum baseline cortisol and the values of cortisol after dexamethasone suppression test may be similar between patients with PMS and without, but the females with PMS that have higher allopregnanolone associate blunted values of cortisol during the night versus control (without PMS) and versus women with low allopregnanolone levels, thus proving a suboptimal response to stress. Allopregnanolone modules GABA receptors on a paradoxical manner inducing anxiety and irritability during luteal phase on women with a specific predisposal configuration of GABA receptor as those confirmed with PMDD. Overall, PMS/PMDD impairs the quality of life, thus the more we understand about its pathogeny, the easier it gets to control it.

After the acute period of the infection with SARS-CoV-2, new symptoms may appear. Alternatively, those present might persist. Medium-term symptoms and complications of COVID-19 infection have been reported to persist in several organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and brain. Subsequent monitoring varies from one week to three months, depending on the symptoms and risk factors present. During the initial follow-up assessment, a comprehensive history of the patient's COVID-19 disease, including disease history, duration and severity of symptoms, types and severity of complications has to be obtained. The need for laboratory tests is determined by the severity of the disease, previous results during their illness and current symptoms.

Vitamin D has antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities playing an essential role as an adjuvant treatment to reduce the incidence and severity of various conditions, including influenza and recurrent respiratory infections. Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency are reported by many countries, especially in the elderly population, requiring intervention by vitamin D supplementation even before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. From the beginning of the pandemic, it was considered that vitamin D has a role in preventing and treating COVID-19. The few available studies show a perspective of vitamin D therapy in preventing and early treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The increase in the incidence of ectopic pregnancy in the last 20 years, with the serious compromise of the woman's obstetric future and the life-threatening complications caused by it, makes ectopic pregnancy a very current problem, frequently encountered in Obstetrics-Gynecology clinics The aim of this study is to compare how risk factors and management can influence the incidence and the risk of recurrence of ectopic pregnancy. This paper presents a prospective case-control study for 65 patients, who have been diagnosed serologically and ultrasonically. In the present study, the most common risk factors involved were: pelvic inflammatory disease (46%), ectopic pregnancy (20%), smoking (85%), abortions (55%), and abdominal surgery (43%). In the group of patients studied, patients required surgical and medical treatment, and also a management of expectation. The risk factors that influence recurrence were smoking (100%), pelvic inflammatory disease (84.6%), abortions (53.8%), abdominal surgery (46%). By the type of surgery (laparoscopy or laparotomy), the risk of recurrence varies between 6 and 10% and does not seem to be influenced by it.

Authors: YALÇIN Abdullah Kutalmış
Published: June 2021

Yeniden Millî Mücadele Hareketi çoğunluğunu bekâr öğrencilerin oluşturduğu, kitlesellik yönü zayıf ancak yayıncılık faaliyetleri gittikçe gelişen sağ eğilimli bir teşkilattır. Mücadele Birliği Derneği adıyla 18 Kasım 1967 tarihinde dernek statüsünde kurulan teşkilatın mensupları ise milliyetçi ve muhafazakâr gençlerdir. Teşkilatın güç kazanması Türk siyasi hayatının karmaşık dönemlerinden 12 Mart 1971 muhtırasından daha sonradır. Sistematik kopuşlar ise 12 Eylül 1980 darbesine doğru yaşanmıştır. Bu süreçte Yeniden Millî Mücadele Hareketi Türk siyasetine ve bürokrasisine önemli katkılarda bulunmuştur. Teşkilatla ilgisi bulunanların bazıları belediye başkanı, bazıları da milletvekili seçilmiştir. Yeniden Millî Mücadele Hareketi'nin Türk siyasi hayatındaki yeri, kırılma noktalarının neler olduğu ve teşkilatın hangi sebeplerden dağıldığı da önemlidir. Bu çalışmada teşkilatın doğuşu, Türk sağ geleneği içindeki konumu, kullandığı amblem ve sloganları incelenmiş, teşkilatın dağılmasının başlıca sebepleri tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma hareketin 1967-1980 yıllarıyla sınırlandığı için 1980 sonrası partileşme sürecinden bahsedilmemiştir.

Introduction. Autoinflammatory diseases are a group of genetically inherited disorders and familial Mediterranean fever is the most common of this group. It is rare in other than Middle East populations. Clinical manifestations of FMF are attacks of fever usually shorter than 24 hours, associated with arthritis, pleuritic chest pain, and abdominal pain.

Case presentation. A 15-year-old female patient was included in the study. She complained of recurrent episodes of fever associated with arthritis and abdominal pain. Moreover, the patient presented dysmorphic features like hyperthelorism, prognathia, scoliosis, pectus carinatum, and hypermobility syndrome. The laboratory exam revealed mutations in both MEVF and SMAD 3.

Conclusions. An autoinflammatory disorder should be suspected in any patient who has a history of recurrent fever.  The attack patterns of FMF varies not just in different patients, but also in the same patient. Mainstay of treatment is colchicine that significantly improves the prognosis of patients with FMF.

ntroduction. The processing of most raw milk products can lead to contamination with unwanted microflora due to poor sanitation and hygienic conditions. The inadequate antibiotic use over the past decades has led to the emergence and wide spread of bacterial populations, particularly of Escherichia coli, which developed resistance to antibacterial drugs.Material and methods. Raw milk samples were obtained from clinically healthy cows on farms from Kiev and Poltava regions to identify E . coli, Staphylococcus spp., Enterococcus spp. isolates. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the EUCAST disk diffusion method and MU on “Determination of microbial susceptibility to antibacterial drugs”. Results. The examined milk samples revealed the presence of E . coli, Staphylococcus spp. and Enterococcus spp. isolates, which proves poor sanitary and hygienic conditions of milk production process. Escherichia coli isolates were found susceptible to Ampicillin/sulbactam, Cefoxitin (100%), Meropenem, Tobramycin (100%), Netilin, Tigecycline, Nitroxoline (100%), Gatifloxacin, and Nitrofurantoin (100%). The studied E. coli isolates were found resistant to Ampicillin (100%), Imipenem, Tetracycline, and Doxycycline (100%). 41.7% of isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus were found resistant to Oxacillin, of which 90% were resistant to Benzylpenicillin and 20% to Rifampicin. Conclusions.The circulation of antibiotic-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains among farm animals is a major problem requiring a strategy development aimed to prevent the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance worldwide.
Biochemical composition changes of gram-negative microorganisms under the action of new chemical compounds
Authors: LOZAN-TIRSU Carolina , ZARICIUC Elena
Published: June 2021

Introduction. It is known that the enzymes catalase (CT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) are actively involved in protecting cells of microbial pathogens against the biochemical factors produced by macrophages in vivo, in order to stop infection. Therefore, this study was aimed to quantify the parameters of the antioxidant-enzyme activities within the reference cultures under the action of selected new chemical compounds.Material and methods. Cu (II) coordination compounds, Co (II) and Zn (II) were included as “in vitro” study material, as well as aromatic propenones synthesized at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry, at State University of Moldova. The antimicrobial effects were tested on three gram-negative reference strains. The enzymatic activity of SOD and the CT activity was determined to assess the pathogen-induced changes in the antioxidant status under the action of newly tested compounds.Results. The new chemical compounds showed a significant decrease in the antioxidant enzymatic activities of SOD and CT, induced in all reference strains used, which indicates an intense oxidative stress generated by the tested compounds.Conclusions. The specific activity of new chemical compounds on primary antioxidant enzymes, which represent pathogenicity factors of infectious agents, allows us to assume the benefits of in vivo effect of new native substances, as well as to recommend the selected compounds for further biomedical tests.

Authors: TAŞIN Cuma , BAĞLI İhsan , ÇOLAK Hatun , ÇİFTÇİ Revan Sabri , AYTAN Hakan
Published: June 2021

Objective: We aimed to compare the platelet mass index (PMI) which is one of the indices not previously evaluated for prediction of preeclampsia patients with using other platelet indices in the healthy control group, in preeclampsia and in gestational hypertension patients.

Method: This retrospective study was conducted by scanning the files of patients hospitalized between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2020 in Mersin University Gynecology and Obstetrics clinics; 88 gestational hypertension, 210 preeclampsia and 140 healthy control patients were selected according to the study criteria. Platelet count (PC) and mean platelet volume (MPV) values were recorded from patients’ folder. Platelet mass index was calculated by the formula platelet count x mean platelet volume/103.

Results: As a result of the laboratory findings, PC, PMI and PC/MPV values differ between the groups. When the subgroups were studied, there was no difference between the GHT group and the control group. PC, PMI and PC/MPV mean values of the PE group were significantly lower than the control group (p=0.016, p=0.023, p=0.026 respectively). Sensitivity and specificity of PMI was found to be 53.6% and 52.6% respectively for the prediction of the preeclampsia, when the cut-off value of PMI is taken as 2303.35 ml/103 (p= 0.021).

Conclusion: It was found that PC, PC/MPV and firstly evaluated PMI decreased statistically significant in patients with preeclampsia.

Cilj je ovog rada komparirati poslovni rezultat
korporacija Comcast i Netflix. Comcast je najveća globalna vertikalno
integrirana medijska korporacija te koristi sve menadžerske modele starih
medijskih industrija. Comcast je u procesu transformacije te se koristi strategijama
procjena i preuzimanja kako bi razvio konkurentske strategije u novim medijskih
industrijama. Netflix je najveća i vodeća streaming platforma za distribuciju
video sadržaja. Promjene koje je sa sobom donijela postmoderna i
postindustrijsko društvo značajno su djelovale na promjene menadžerskih praksi
u već postojećim korporacijama medijske industrije. Istraživanja i analiza
poslovnih rezultata ove dvije korporacije ukazuju na promjene koje se događaju
unutar medijske industrije. Postojeće vertikalno integrirane medijske
korporacije mijenjaju menadžerske modele, kako bi se prilagodile novim tržišnim
okolnostima. Nove medijske korporacije, nastale u modelu ekonomije platformi, definiraju uvjete
i trendove razvoja cjelokupne medijske industrije. Postmoderna i
postindustrijsko društvo zahtijeva značajnu promjenu menadžerskih praksi u
medijskoj industriji.
Socijalno poduzetništvo
kao izazov društvenih promjena

Socijalno poduzetništvo
privlači sve veću pozornost javnosti te se ubrzano razvija. Ono ukazuje na
važnost poticanja društvenih promjena kroz rad poduzetnika koji prepoznaje
probleme aktualne u društvu te im pristupa na inovativan, poduzetan i socijalan
način. Osnovna razlika između poslovnog i socijalnog poduzetnika, tj.
poduzetništva je njegov krajnji cilj. Osim rasta profita i povrata uloga,
uspjeh socijalnog poduzetnika mjeri se i utjecajem na promjene u društvu. Oni
koji se bave socijalnim poduzetništvom teže dakle boljem društvu i pomaganju onima
koji pomoć najviše treba, a isto rade kroz poduzetničke akcije od kojih neće
nužno uvijek profitirati oni sami, već društvo kao cjelina. Taekwondo klub
Čigra i Udruga Poduzetni dvije su institucije koje se godinama bave socijalnim
poduzetništvom. Kroz rad s djecom s teškoćama u razvoju, Čigra se bori protiv
socijalnog isključivanja djece, ne samo iz društva, već se bori s prihvaćanjem
njihovog samog poimanja te kontinuiranog razvoja njihovih osobnih kompetencija
i socijalnih vještina. Udruga Poduzetni zalaže se za cjeloživotno obrazovanje gdje
radionicama, seminarima, tečajevima i ostalim vrstama skupova nudi pomoć
osobama svih uzrasta u poimanju i razvoju poduzetništva, razvoju poduzetničkih
kompetencija od najmlađih uzrasta te svojim aktivnostima promiče socijalno
poduzetništvo. Dugoročni je cilj ovih institucija poboljšanje sveukupne slike
društva, no promjene takvih razmjera najčešće započinju obrazovanjem pojedinaca. Kako
socijalno poduzetništvo nije ostvarilo puni potencijal, za njegov razvoj potrebno
je prikazati puniji uvid u važnost promicanja socijalnog poduzetništva. Stoga
je glavni cilj istraživanja podizanje svijesti o potencijalu socijalnog
poduzetništva i njegovom doprinosu u društvu u Republici Hrvatskoj. U svrhu
ostvarenja tog cilja, provedeno je sekundarno istraživanje (analiza sadržaja
relevantne znanstvene i stručne literature s naglaskom na iskustva dobre prakse
u Republici Hrvatskoj) te primarno istraživanje putem intervjua na uzorku od 5
osoba. Rezultati istraživanja prikazani su u radu, a ukazuju na važnost te još
uvijek slabo shvaćanje socijalnog poduzetništva u društvu kao cjelini.

We report on Chandra, NuSTAR, and MDM observations of two International Gamma-ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) sources, namely IGR J17528−2022 and IGR J20063+3641. IGR J17528−2022 is an unidentified INTEGRAL source, while IGR J20063+3641 was recently identified as a magnetic cataclysmic variable (mCV) by Halpern et al. The Chandra observation of IGR J17528−2022 has allowed us to locate the optical counterpart to the source and to obtain its optical spectrum, which shows a strong Hα emission line. The optical spectrum and flickering observed in the optical time-series photometry in combination with the X-ray spectrum, which is well fit by an absorbed partially covered thermal bremsstrahlung model, suggest that this source is a strong mCV candidate. The X-ray observations of IGR J20063+3641 reveal a clear modulation with a period of 172.46 ± 0.01 s, which we attribute to the white dwarf spin period. Additional MDM spectroscopy of the source has also allowed for a clear determination of the orbital period at 0.731 ± 0.015 days. The X-ray spectrum of this source is also well fit by an absorbed partially covered thermal bremsstrahlung model. The X-ray spectrum, spin periodicity, and orbital periodicity allow this source to be further classified as an intermediate polar.
Atomic-scale Evidence for Open-system Thermodynamics in the Early Solar Nebula

Published: June 2021

We report a new integrated framework that combines atomic-length-scale characterization via aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy with first-principles-driven thermodynamic modeling and dust-transport models to probe the origins of some of the first-formed solids in the solar system. We find that within one of the first solids that formed in our solar system, spinel, nominally MgAl2O4, occurs as a twinned inclusion within perovskite, CaTiO3, and contains vanadium segregated to its twin boundary as atomic columns. Our results support a scenario in which spinel condensed at 1435 K in the midplane of the solar protoplanetary disk and was later transported inward to a hotter region where perovskite condensed around it at 1681 K. The spinel became twinned as a result of a displacive phase transition in the perovskite after which it was later transported to cooler regions of the disk and incorporated into its parent asteroid. The condensation, transport, and phase transformation can all be explained within the developed self-consistent framework that reproduces the observed phase assemblage and atomic-scale structure. This framework suggests that planetary materials evolved within a thermodynamically open system and, moving forward, motivates such an approach in order to understand the thermodynamic landscape on which planetary materials formed.
Wikipedia for multilingual COVID-19 vaccine education at scale
Authors: Rasberry Lane , Mietchen Daniel
Published: June 2021

We present the design of a project to develop Wikipedia content on general vaccine safety and the COVID-19 vaccines, specifically. This proposal describes what a team would need to distribute public health information in Wikipedia in multiple languages in response to a disaster or crisis, and to measure and report the communication impact of the same. Researchers at the School of Data Science at the University of Virginia made this proposal in response to a February 2021 call from a sponsor which was seeking to share public health information to respond globally to vaccine hesitancy related to the COVID-19 vaccines. This proposal was not selected for funding, and now the research team is sharing the proposal here with an open copyright license for anyone to reuse and remix. Most of the text here is from the original proposal, but there are modifications to remove the names of the funder, named partners, and for other details to make this text more reusable. The budget in this proposal has been converted from a dollar amount to equivalent descriptions in terms of labor hours, and the timeline was adapted from absolute to relative months.

This paper presents a taxonomic study of genus Vincetoxicum s.str. from southern Asia. Eleven regional endemic species are recognized on the basis of herbarium studies and fieldwork. Three new species are described: V. lenifoliumsp. nov. (endemic to Pakistan), V. stewartianumsp. nov. (endemic to India), and V. subcanescenssp. nov. (endemic to Pakistan, Kashmir and Tibet). Three species names, V. cabulicum, V. glaucum and V. kenouriense, previously treated as synonyms of V. glaucum, V. canescens and V. hirundinaria, respectively, are resurrected. A neotype is designated for the Afghani endemic V. cabulicum. A lectotype is chosen from the syntypes of V. glaucum. We resolve the long-standing taxonomic problems in three species complexes: V. arnottianum, V. luridum, V. sakesarense, and V. stocksii; V. glaucum, V. canescens and V. cabulicum; and V. hirundinaria and V. kenouriense. Geo-taxonomic distinctions of southern Asian taxa are highlighted by excluding from henceforth the long misrecognized western Eurasian taxa V. canescens and V. hirundinaria. Furthermore, a detailed account of the genus including illustrations of whole plants, leaves and corona, distribution maps, a taxonomic key, morphological descriptions, synonymy, notes, and information on phenology, distribution and habitats is provided. Finally, provisional conservation assessments are provided, which indicate that V. cardiostephanum and V. sakesarense are critically endangered.
Augustin et Wittgenstein : qu’en est-il vraiment de l’augustinisme linguistique ?
Authors: de Saxcé Anne
Published: June 2021

Cet article revient sur ce qu’on a coutume d’appeler l’augustinisme linguistique, qui consiste en la critique, livrée par Wittgenstein dans les Investigations philosophiques, d’un texte extrait du livre I des Confessions dans lequel Augustin décrit l’apprentissage du langage par le petit enfant. Nous donnons d’abord une explication de ce en quoi consiste véritablement la critique wittgensteinienne, qui est en fait principalement une critique de la théorie de l’illumination intérieure de l’esprit par la vérité. Puis, afin de comprendre pourquoi Augustin est loin de mépriser l’importance de l’usage de la langue, nous proposons une relecture de l’idée du maître intérieur, en réfléchissant notamment à ce que signifie le retour à l’intériorité et au rôle de la confession.

IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF GREEN BUILDING ASSESSMENT INDICATORS FOR MYANMAR
Authors: Lwin May , Panuwatwanich Kriengsak
Published: June 2021

To accommodate its increasing population, the Myanmar government has planned to implement smart city projects in Yangon and Mandalay by 2021 and to build 1 million homes by 2030. However, such projected growth does not coincide with Myanmar’s current level of preparedness for sustainable development. Myanmar presently has no standards and specifications for green buildings; it solely relies on the adoption of those from overseas, which may not always be compatible with the unique context of Myanmar. Hence, this study was aimed to identify appropriate green building assessment indicators for Myanmar as an important first step for future rating system development. Nine categories and forty-eight criteria were initially identified by reviewing the widely adopted seven rating systems and investigating existing certified green buildings. The Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) was used to determine and rank the importance levels of the identified assessment indicators. Results showed that “energy efficiency” and “water efficiency” are the most crucial categories with weights of 17.48% and 13.95%, respectively. Compared to other rating system standards, “waste and pollution” was distinctively found as an important category for Myanmar. Energy-efficient architectural design was ranked as the highest priority among all criteria. These findings serve as a building block for the future development of a Myanmar green building rating system by revealing assessment categories and criteria that are most relevant to Myanmar’s built environment.
Transports de matières premières par voie maritime
Authors: Carre Marie-Brigitte
Published: June 2021

Si l’on connait bien les frets antiques de produits alimentaires en amphores, les matières premières, à l’exception des métaux et des marbres, n’ont laissé que peu de traces archéologiques. On présentera ici des données récentes, issues principalement de fouilles sur les côtes provençale et languedocienne, sur les transports de brique et tuiles, de marbre et autres pierres et de verre. On tentera ensuite de faire le point sur quelques autres produits moins souvent conservés (bois, alun, poix, soufre, pigments, pouzzolane…). Ces derniers semblent ne représenter qu’une partie des frets, souvent même la plus petite partie de ce qui est conservé. Les acteurs de ces commerces sont rarement perceptibles, mais l’examen des cargaisons et des routes montre que les plus gros tonnages sont utilisés lors de liaisons en ligne directe entre des ports principaux tandis que les plus petits navires servent à la redistribution à partir de ces grands centres.
