Published: August 2022

IBA57 is the protein-coding gene that involves in the functional activity of mitochondria. IBA57 protein is related to the iron-sulfur cluster assembly pathway that regulates specific proteins. Mutation in the IBA57 gene damaged the functional activity of mitochondria and respiratory complexes. Heredity spastic paraplegia is a heterogeneous group of neurological disorders that affect the spinal cords and nerves in the human body. In this study, we use bioinformatics tools to analyze the structural and functional information of the IBA57 gene. Advanced in-silico approaches apply to find the pathogenic variants. To find these novel mutations, IBA57 protein data is retrieved through UniProt and gnomAD databases. Pathogenicity of variants was prognosticated through these software (SNP2, PhD-SNPg, and SNPs&go). Furthermore, the strategy applied to these variants is to check out the stability of IBA57 protein, by using DynaMut, CUPSAT, I-Stable, MAESTRO, and YASARA. IBA57 proteins are affected during the splicing mechanism. If mutation gets repeated on the splicing sites then there is a probability that the mutation can disturb the gene sequence as a result the protein formed also gets changed. ScanProsite protein databases and UCSF Chimera (PDB ID: 6QE4) were used to analyze the structural and functional domains of the protein. The deleterious effect of mutations on the structure of IBA57 protein with different parameters and contact/clashes among mutated residues also presented by chimera. These findings conclude that 34 high-risk pathogenic missense variants can cause the change of amino acid properties of IBA57 protein. Hence, this study revealed the importance of bioinformatics algorithms to figure out highly pathogenic variants linked with the structural and functional relationship of IBA57 protein.

Published: August 2022

The purpose of present investigation was to formulate bioadhesive pulsatile release tablet (BPRT) of lisinopril drug belong to antihypertensive category for chronotherapy of cardiac disorder. The concept behind this dosage form development is to investigate effect of coating polymer concentration on lag time and drug release from directly compressed tablet. The core tablets prepared by using various concentrations of disintegrants found suitable for complete release of drug in acidic medium indicating its solubility in gastric fluid. The FT-IR studies indicate that selected polymers are compatible with lisinopril since no interaction found in drug-excipient compatibility studies. The dissolution study clearly indicates that higher concentration of polymers which is HPMC K100M and Carbopol reduces free water volume and increase viscosity of the tablet coat causes reduction in drug release. The prepared Bioadhesive pulsatile release tablets showed desired hardness and good mucoadhesion strength. The obtained results showed capability of formulated bioadhesive pulsatile drug delivery system in a drug release for a programmable period of time to attain drug release after minimum 3 hr of Lag time. A stability results clearly indicate that developed pulsatile product was sufficiently stable under accelerated and controlled conditions. Thus, the developed pulsatile tablet can be considered to be a promising formulation for the relief of early morning surge in blood pressure and other cardiac disorders which follows a circadian rhythm.

A novel approach for visual tracking based on occlusion recognition
Authors: Luo Donghai , Wang Daobo , Xia Shengji , Bai Tingting
Published: August 2022

Visual object tracking is an extremely challenging task. Many existing trackers cannot handle various challenges simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a novel tracking framework based on an occlusion recognition mechanism to improve the performance in occlusion situations. Firstly, we design an occlusion recognition mechanism based on patch pool and local correlation to describe the occlusion of objects in each frame of an image sequence. Secondly, taking advantage of the occlusion recognition mechanism, we construct a specific training set to train the filter. Thirdly, combining global correlation, we implement our own tracker based on the traditional discriminative correlation filters. Finally, we evaluate it on both OTB and VOT platforms, and the experimental results demonstrate that our design is advanced and effective.

This paper first describes the types of motors and the corresponding speed regulation methods, and then introduces the motor speed regulation. PWM is regulated by PID, which regulate it from the beginning of the emergence of the parameters kp, ki, kd of the PID according to the empirical adjustment, to later development to adjust the parameters of the PID according to modern optimization algorithm. In this way, parameter control becomes accurate. Thus, the speed control of the motor is faster, which is of great significance for the application and development of the motor.
Study on A face detection method based on elliptic skin color model
Authors: Li Yan , Liu Hongmei
Published: August 2022

Human face is a natural structural target with abundant details, and its detection results are easily affected by facial details, expressions and posture changes. In color images, the distribution of skin color is not affected by the changes of facial details, expression and posture, and the speed of skin color detection is very fast. This paper proposes a face detection algorithm based on elliptic skin color model. In YCbCr color space, the elliptic skin color model and logistic regression analysis were used to determine the skin color probability of each point, and the pixels of each point were mapped to [0, 1]. Based on Ostu method, a parallel genetic algorithm was used to determine the threshold of skin color segmentation to segment the face region. The results show that this method improves the speed of face detection and has good robustness to posture and expression changes.
NEW GROUP OF TOURNAISIAN ADVANCED SIPHONODELLA (CONODONTS, LOWER CARBONIFEROUS)
Authors: N. PLOTITSYN ARTEM
Published: August 2022

A new morphological group of advanced Siphonodella with diagonal or/and longitudinal ribbed ornamentation on the upper side of the platform of the P1 elements was identified and described based on the author's paleontological material from the Polar Urals and published data from East European, Central, and Northeast Asian successions. The group includes two valid species Siphonodella nandongensis Li and Siphonodella vladimirovi Plotitsyn nom. nov. Due to the low representativeness of the paleontological material, eight taxa are described in an open nomenclature under the species names Siphonodella sp. A-H. Siphonodella vladimirovi is described as a nomen novum in accordance with the recommendations of the International code of zoological nomenclature (previously identified species appeared under the invalid species names Siphonodella diagonalica Pazukhin or Siphonodella zeravshanica Bardasheva). It is assumed that the species Siphonodella nandongensis Li, Siphonodella vladimirovi Plotitsyn, and Siphonodella sp. A-H came from morphologically similar species from the cosmopolitan group or as descendants of the East European group.

Allegory and Autobiography
Authors: Freccero John
Published: August 2022

This chapter discusses how autobiography is represented schematically in Dante's poem by the synthesis of Platonic allegory with traditional biblical motifs. Dante's descent into Malebolge—and particularly the figure of Geryon, which epitomizes it—is an allegorical motif claiming no existence outside the text. They structure elements of Dante's experience in such a way that an account of his life has at the same time a moral significance for “nostra vita.” The protagonist of the story is at once Dante Alighieri and “whichever man,” meaning not the abstract “everyman” of morality plays, but rather a historical individual, elected by grace. If we were to ask about the “truth” of such an account, in the everyday, biographical sense, the answer would certainly not be found in these allegorical motifs—rope, dragon, abyss—but rather in the existential realities underlying them.

Introduction:

The incidence of nontraumatic spinal cord injury (NTSCI) is reported to be higher than that of traumatic spinal cord injury in many countries, making it an area of growing significance.

Objectives:

With the aging of the global population in coming decades, it is anticipated that the incidence of NTSCIs will increase dramatically. Our aim was to identify and report the causes, patterns, and outcomes of NTSCI in a tertiary care center.

Methods:

We have reviewed all adult patients who had a NTSCI and were surgically treated with a minimum follow-up of 12 months postoperatively. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Preoperative and postoperative American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scales and past follow-up outcomes were assessed.

Results:

Of 164 patients, 95 (58%) had full recovery and reached ASIA E score at their last follow-up while 69 (42%) were not able to achieve full recovery till ASIA E score. Urinary incontinence and/or bowel incontinence on admission, degenerative pathologies, and thoracic injury level were all notable indicators of limited ASIA score improvement at the last follow-up.

Conclusions:

Surgically treated NTSCI could result in good neurological recovery with a low complication rate.

When Is a Partnership Not a Partnership? Reflecting on Inherent Challenges in University-Community Collaborations on Educational Programs
Authors: King Alyson E. , Eamer Allyson , Fernando Shanti
Published: August 2022

In our research on supported education (SEd) programs in Canadian psychiatric hospitals, community-university partnerships have offered hopeful findings that demonstrate the potential for improved social and educational outcomes for patients in these programs. There were inherent challenges associated with conducting academic research on these programs alongside nonacademic partners. While some of our research collaborators, who were patient-educators with varying backgrounds, were fully engaged in the research process, others were only somewhat engaged, and some wanted minimal involvement. Because most psychiatric hospital–based research involves medical or pharmaceutical research, we did not locate established frameworks that could be used as models for our educational qualitative research. Although we encountered some obstacles to fully engaged partnerships, we still conducted productive collaborations that resulted in rich, broadly useful qualitative and quantitative data from interviews with students, teachers, and administrators. That being said, we found that in trying to respect the limited time availability of our partners, we ended up with less input from our partners than we had originally hoped for. The lessons we learned—such as the need for clearer role definitions and strategies to manage power imbalances, conflicting objectives, and time constraints faced by nonacademic collaborators—may be applied to other projects that engage community partners whose time and capacity constraints may inhibit their full engagement, such as municipalities supporting long-term care homes or emergency shelters.

Harnessing Potential: The Role of Public and Land-Grant Universities’ Commitment to Engagement
Authors: Martin Sheila A. , Steele Douglas L.
Published: August 2022

While many articles have been written about land-grant universities (LGUs) and their tripartite mission, the objective of this article is to place that mission within a broad historical overview of the role of engagement within LGUs, to familiarize readers with the influence of engagement on higher education, and to discuss the important role of Cooperative Extension as the LGUs’ key mode of connection with stakeholder communities. With the passage of the Morrill Act of 1862, Congress created a national system of LGUs that made public higher education available and affordable to the American working class, with a focus on agriculture, mechanical arts, and military science. Subsequent congressional legislation firmly established LGUs’ tripartite mission of teaching, research, and extension. Later, Extension was included in the broader engagement missions of LGUs. However, the characterizations of this broader notion of university engagement were often obscure and lacked clarity, with no agreed-upon framework for assessment. Reports from the Kellogg Commission in 1999 and subsequently the Carnegie Foundation in 2005 helped to define, clarify, and socialize meaningful university engagement. With common criteria established, it became obvious that LGU leaders must align their engagement resources toward the common goal of deepening engagement to address important societal issues. It also became evident that for Cooperative Extension to be recognized as an engaged organization within the university mission, it must constantly evolve to stay current with the scholarship of engagement, embrace transdisciplinary practices, and focus on the public value created when universities and their community partners find common ground on what matters to academics, practitioners, administrators, elected officials, and community members. The benefits of an aligned set of engagement resources can only be realized if strategy, investment, and incentives reinforce a commitment to engagement.
Open Science, Open Data, and New Opportunities for Cooperative Extension
Authors: Woteki Catherine E.
Published: August 2022

The array of problems presented to Extension professionals is broad and growing in number and complexity. As Extension has demonstrated its adaptability in addressing these issues, new ways of working have emerged. Access to an expanding pool of scientific reports and data can potentially provide Extension professionals with the greater tools and knowledge they need to collaboratively engage with their communities. However, a key challenge and possible impediment will be access to rapidly emerging research and data. Open science and open data can broaden the evidence base available to Extension educators, and the emerging field of data science offers new tools to help Extension stakeholders make data-informed decisions. A new data-sharing partnership among Canada, Mexico, and the United States may serve as a model for other countries’ rural advisory services and national Extension systems. Fully implementing this expanded role for Extension will require resources to establish a National Community Learning Network and a national data commons as well as advocacy for open access policies at all levels of government. As abstract as open science and open data may seem to local and regional Extension practitioners, equal access to scientific knowledge and underlying research data is not only imperative for local community engagement but also integral for locally appropriate decision-making. Widening access to research and data directly supports the democratization of science and Extension. Opening scientific research and providing effective access to publicly financed data will become essential platforms for university engagement and Extension. It is critical for Extension professionals to understand the analytic powers and emerging policies that easily-accessed research and data can bring to collaborative community engagement.
TITLE: Is parenting style transmitted across generations
Authors: Xu Weihan
Published: August 2022

As the development of the influence of parenting style, what influence parenting style remains a question. Thinking of human’s learning from experience and parents’ role of children’s first teachers, this study aims at examining the intergenerational transmission of parenting style by survey (n = 122). Linear regression is used to analyze the data collected. The results suggest that 1. parenting style can transmit to the next generation; 2. what parents think of their scale “rejection” and “over protection” is different from what children think, while parents’ thought about their “emotional warmth” toward children and children’ though are quite same. These finding have implication on further study and society.

Authors: Zhou Qianyin , Diao Xinyu , Hou Yiyao , Xu Jingyi
Published: August 2022

By analyzing the consumer feedback after the implementation of the Wuhan consumption voucher policy in 2020, this paper finds that consumers are satisfied with the design of the policy factors, including the convenience of receiving the vouchers. Meanwhile, combining theoretical and empirical analyses, this paper clarifies the mechanism of the consumption voucher policy and its effects. By evaluating the basic contradiction between consumers' demand for affordable consumption and the policy supply's pursuit of leverage and rapid market response, the paper proposes targeted suggestions such as coordinating, optimizing the process of issuing and collecting consumption vouchers, expanding the policy's beneficiary area, and strengthening publicity and supervision.

Analysis of the economic problems after the unification of Germany
Authors: Yang Quanzhou
Published: August 2022

The fall of the Berlin Wall, one of the eight major political upheavals in Eastern Europe in 1989, fueled popular enthusiasm for reunification, directly undermined the East German government's plans for control and reform, and put the German question back on the international political agenda. The different economic paths and outcomes between the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany led to different social outcomes, resulting in different social structures and social problems. In the end, the economic and social model of federal Germany came to the fore, but the after-effects of reunification and the new national environment forced Germany to embark on a different economic path after reunification. Such new changes in the economic sphere constantly triggered corresponding changes in the structure of German society. How to view these changes is a new problem facing contemporary German studies.

A study on the impact of administrative division adjustment on regional economy based on synthetic control method
Authors: Ke Rong , Chen ZhiPeng , Li HuiLing
Published: August 2022

In recent times, the regional planning of Huizhou has been adjusted relatively frequently, from six counties in one province to Wuyuan and Jixi, until 1987, when Huizhou was renamed Huangshan City and Jixi was transferred to Xuancheng. Since then, "Huizhou" in the sense of administrative division has ceased to exist. To study the impact of this event on the regional economy, this paper compiles data from Jixi, Qimen, Yixian, Shexian, and Xuning counties since the founding of the country and uses a synthetic control method to empirically study the economic impact of the 1987 transfer of Xuancheng on Jixi. The results found that the economic development gap between Jixi and the other three counties was not significant before 1987, but after 1987, Jixi's economic development was significantly better than that of the other three counties, indicating that the 1987 administrative division promoted Jixi's economic development.

En este reporte se presentan los resultados de una investigación que exploró las teorías implícitas docentes sobre la evaluación en matemáticas. Para ello, se empleó una metodología cualitativa en la que se combinó el análisis de contingencias para el análisis de contenido de textos y la representación gráfica de forma automatizada mediante Redes Asociativas Pathfinder para destacar las principales categorías de análisis obtenidas y su relación.  Los participantes fueron 87 maestros en formación inicial, para la exploración de las teorías implícitas se tomó como marco teórico el de las teorías implícitas. La recogida de datos se realizó mediante la técnica de relatos en la cual se solicitó a los participantes que redacten sus percepciones sobre la evaluación en matemáticas. Los resultados indican que el uso de esta metodología es apropiada para el estudio de las teorías implícitas docentes, ayuda en la obtención de datos con una mínima intervención del investigador y puede ser aplicada a múltiples temas de investigación; además, se evidencia que las teorías implícitas que poseen los docentes de la universidad peruana, participante, están mejor relacionadas con la pedagogía tradicional y las teorías implícitas que tienen los maestros de la universidad Española, quienes están más próximos a la pedagogía contemporánea.

La dimensión 1 de la propuesta de Wild y Pfannkuch, (1999), el ciclo PPDAC promueve la generación y análisis de datos cuando se da solución a una situación problemática que requiere la recopilación de datos. Este trabajo de investigación entrega evidencia sobre el trabajo realizado por un grupo de docentes de secundaria cuando son enfrentados a una situación problemática referida: a “Hábitos de lectura” que busca abordar la construcción e interpretación de las tablas de frecuencia. Dichas soluciones se orientan en el enfoque del desarrollo del pensamiento estadístico; es decir, implica que los docentes identifiquen cada una de las etapas del ciclo PPDAC. Además, entrega evidencia sobre la capacidad creativa de los maestros al elaborar una nueva situación problemática para trabajar tablas de frecuencias con estudiantes de primer año de secundaria. Las situaciones propuestas fueron evaluadas a través criterios para analizar la capacidad creativa; en base los trabajo de Torreancce (1974) y Guilford (1969).

PENDEKATAN HERMENEUTIK DALAM STUDI ISLAM
Authors: Abdulloh Labib
Published: August 2022

This article aims to explain and provide insight that hermeneutics is one of the approach or theory that can help someone to understand the text of the scriptures. the presence of hermeneutics is also very influential on Islamic studies which basically have the nuances of "multi-interpretation". The hermeneutic approach in Islamic studies, especially as a new alternative in interpreting the meaning of the verses of the Qur'an, should be understood as a way to bring out a deeper meaning from the verses of the Qur'an. In addition, the hermeneutic approach has its own characteristics and gives rise to great hermeneutic figures in Islam and their works have different principles on a meaning and language to be achieved in order to explain the intent of a text from the author with a clearer and better understanding.

Dialogue in Lockdown: Online Dialogue and its Lessons Amidst Rising Popularism
Authors: Smith Andrew
Published: August 2022

In March 2020, the UK government imposed a national lockdown in an attempt to halt the spread of Coronavirus. The measures came into force overnight causing people to adapt rapidly to a new and unprecedented situation. Faith groups responded quickly broadcasting services online and setting up systems of support for members of their community. In Birmingham, a number of interfaith events were initiated using online meeting platforms such as Zoom. This paper will analyse three online interfaith dialogues that I was involved in. The first was a series of weekly dialogues I hosted, the second was an interfaith iftar hosted by the Bishop of Birmingham, organised by myself and the third were youth dialogues run by The Feast youth organisation. The events will be described and analysed taking into consideration their structure, content, and philosophy, drawing on dialogue theories to explore their methodologies and intended outcomes. The analysis of the events considers the challenges and opportunities of developing constructive group dialogue online, power dynamics that were exposed, and how access and familiarity with software raised issues of inclusion. Safeguarding is discussed with reference to the intersection between safeguarding and power to control conversation. The paper was written as Black Lives Matter protests took place challenging the effectiveness of online activity to counter popularism and prejudice. The physical protests came shortly after several major religious festivals were obliged to be held online, consequently, the paper will conclude with a reflection on this phenomenon and the connection between online and offline activity.
Notes from a Black and White Island, Personal Reflections on Dialogue and Black Lives Matter
Authors: Wiseman David
Published: August 2022

During the first lockdown, the decision of the Diocese of Hereford to initiate discussions entitled, ‘Racial Justice and the Church’, as a response to the re-emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement was heartening. As a priest in the Church of England, who came to Craven Arms, a small agricultural town in the Hereford Diocese, after over thirty-six years’ stipendiary ministry in urban and inner-city ministry in diverse communities and congregations, it was encouraging to realise that less diverse communities were addressing the same issues. The third of these sessions was with Dr Joel Edwards and called for the creation of safe spaces where white people could be set free from ‘White liberal nervousness of getting things wrong’. I write as a white liberal with plenty of experience of getting things wrong. I write as a Christian involved in interfaith relations for many years and am aware that issues of intolerance and racism are encountered within and across different faiths, not least the long history of anti-Semitism within the Church. These comments and reflections on my personal journey explore a vision of a safe space.
