This research mainly concentrates on eco-friendly construction material. Production of cement and concrete industries release huge amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and greenhouse gases which affect the environment and also there is a demand in construction material by man-made or nature. The construction sector finds an economic and eco-friendly cement replacement material to achieve the demand for green concrete that improve the energy conservation and better energy saving material. In marine Bio-refinery waste produce huge quantity of calcium carbonate, whose disposal is cause of major concern. Pre-eminent solution for this problem is utilizing the marine shell waste in cement and concrete. It revises the manufacturing process to reduce the raw material usage in production and adoptable material for global warming. Therefore, the researchers focus on marine waste sea shells as the replacement material in construction industry to save the energy and also give sustainable green material. As per the previous studies by the researchers to determine the chemical composition, specific gravity, water absorption, particle size distribution of seashells and also compressive, flexural and tensile strength of concrete. It shows the seashell is filler material that slightly increases the strength when compared to the conventional materials and therefore the sea shells are suitable for the construction field to manufacture the cement and concrete with eco-friendly manner.
Identifying and disrupting problematic implicit beliefs about engineering held by students in service-learning
Authors: Delaine David , Desing Renee , Wang Linjue , Dringenberg Emily , Walther Joachim
Published: October 2021

Service-learning (SL), especially in engineering, is a promising way to engage and support local communities, educate students as holistic citizens and professionals, and strengthen the connection between higher education and society. However, within engineering education, SL as a pedagogy has yet to reach its full potential as a transformational pedagogy. To further our understanding of why SL in the context of engineering remains limited, this contribution characterizes: 1) beliefs about engineering implicit in students’ descriptions of their SL experiences, and 2) the ways in which students’ beliefs manifest within the context of SL in engineering. We used an inductive, qualitative approach to analyze focus group and interview data. Our data includes rich, contextual descriptions of SL experiences, which enabled us to generate insight into students’ implicit beliefs about engineering and how they manifest in SL contexts. We found that students predominantly draw on three implicit beliefs about engineering when engaged in SL experiences: 1) Engineering is predominantly technical, 2) Engineering requires deliverables or tangible products, and 3) Engineers are the best problem solvers. These beliefs often manifested problematically, such that they promote university-centered and apolitical practice while reinforcing social hierarchy, leading to community exploitation in support of student development. This study produces empirical evidence that such implicit beliefs are a mechanism that limits the potential of SL by hindering community-centric and justice-oriented practice. However, some students demonstrated their ability to disrupt these beliefs, thereby showing the potential for SL as a pedagogy in engineering to surface implicit and counterproductive beliefs about engineering and achieve SL goals. The beliefs that are salient in SL and the concrete ways in which they manifest for students have implications for how SL is practiced in engineering and the experiences of both students and partner communities. These beliefs impact the extent to which the socio-political elements of the service are addressed, the quality and extent to which the engineering solution is aligned with social justice, and the extent to which SL is university- versus community-centric. The implications of these findings lead to recommendations to, and the need for future research on, how engineering educators might explicitly design SL curricula to identify, address, and dismantle problematic beliefs before they manifest in problematic ways in SL contexts.

Published: October 2021

COVID-19 Pandemic has brought the world underwaters. All over the world, people were affected. The focus during this period was mostly on patients and frontline workers, with some attention also towards working adults. One cohort that has not gained much light during this pandemic is of housewives. Housewives had to manage household chores along with managing family relations – especially in India, where societal expectations lie on the female to provide family members with care and manage the household. Dealing with uncertainty, decreased availability of personal space, increased presence of and interaction with people in the household due to work from home scenarios, shifting to the online world and adapting to the change, economic disturbances, absence of domestic help, managing parental responsibility, increased stress about one’s own and family members’ health and lack of social interaction have contributed to their inconvenience. Existing evidence supports that housewives have been experiencing burnout in their homes. This qualitative study was conducted to see how the added pressure of COVID – 19 and social isolation has affected housewives mentally, leading to burnout. This narrative study includes participants of Indian origin, between the ages of 34 to 50 years. Participants were shortlisted on the basis of their scores obtained on the COVID-19 Burnout Scale, designed by Murat Yıldırım and Fatma Solmaz. The themes generated through this research study are related to understanding the impact of burnout on the mental health of housewives along the areas of physical health, financial well-being, digitization, uncertainty regarding COVID-19, parental responsibilities, social & emotional health, relationship management, and coping mechanisms. The findings of this study suggest that the mental health of housewives has significantly worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic due to constant exposure to certain stressors.

Published: October 2021

Kondisi Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia yang dilanda oleh pandemi virus corona telah memicu pemerintah untuk bertindak lebih responsif. Salah satu upaya dalam ranah pembelajaran yaitu diterbitkannya Surat Edaran Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Nomor 4 Tahun 2020 Tentang Pelaksanaan Kebijakan Pendidikan dalam Masa Darurat Penyebaran Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19). Penerapan media komunikasi secara online dalam pembelajaran rupanya berdampak secara siginifikan terhadap kondisi psikologis siswa. Dominasi paham tingkatan berfikir dalam teori Van Hiele terhadap geometri memberikan kesempatan pada psikologi warna untuk memainkan perannya, namun demikian warna kerap kali masih disalahpahami nilainya dalam pembelajaran. Penelitian ini difokuskan untuk mengetahui relevansi penerapan psikologi warna terhadap praktik pembelajaran geometri pada siswa kelas VIII SMP/MTs secara online. Adapun metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur. Artikel ini berargumentasi bahwa psikologi warna tidak relevan dengan pembelajaran geometri pada siswa kelas VIII SMP/MTs secara online. Hal ini bisa terjadi karena dominasi platform yang diakses oleh siswa bukanlah platform edukasi serta minimnya penggunaan fitur warna bahkan dalam platform yang dikhususkan untuk geometri, yaitu geogebra.

Music and Social Interaction in the Treatment of Post-Stroke Aphasia
Authors:   , Stahl Benjamin
Published: October 2021

Cerebrovascular disease is a leading cause of disability and death worldwide, with about one third of stroke survivors initially suffering from communication disorders, including aphasia. Symptoms in aphasia vary from person to person, ranging from repeated failures in verbal expression to comprehension deficits that may occur in both the spoken and written modality. The current work synthesizes almost a decade of research on aphasia following left-hemispheric stroke in individuals with preserved right-hemispheric function: musical skills and formulaic expressions embedded in social interaction. Moving beyond the traditional scope of clinical linguistics, this work argues that preserved right-hemispheric function not only provides valuable resources in speech-language therapy, but also a possible foundation for psychotherapy in individuals with post-stroke aphasia and concomitant depression. An integrative summary introduces key developments in a line of research spanning from 2013 to 2021, to conclude with an outlook on forthcoming contributions and a commentary on the underlying conceptual framework. Each separate piece of research has been published previously in peer-reviewed journals. Here, the selected studies are assembled in an interdisciplinary context at the intersection of clinical neuroscience, speech-language pathology, and psychotherapy.

Authors: Tóth András
Published: October 2021

A szociális szabályozás területén Sparrow által kidolgozott problémamegoldó mechanizmus a versenyjogba is átültethető a károk megelőzése érdekében. A versenyhatóságok (mint védelmi jellegű állami szervek) célja is a közérték-teremtés kell, hogy legyen. Ennek sikere a hatóságok arra való képességében rejlik, hogy mennyire tudják a valós társadalmi problémákat megragadni, azokat megelőzni, illetve hatékonyan felszámolni. A versenyhatóságok a közértéket úgy teremtik, ha biztosítják a versengő piaci környezetet a piaci erő visszaszorításával, a belépési akadályok felszámolásával. A megelőzés fokozása különösen fontos, amikor a piacok koncentrálódása tendenciaként jelentkezik a világgazdaságban. Annak érdekében, hogy a maximális preventív hatás a versenyjogban elérhető legyen, minden megelőzésre szolgáló eszközt hatékonyan kell működtetni. Ez magában foglalja a strukturális kötelezések alkalmazását, illetve az ex-ante szabályozásra való átváltást, amikor az ex-post intézkedések hatástalannak bizonyulnak.

Computational Design and Lab-Based Investigation of a Novel Small-Molecule Inhibitor That Targets CadA Metal Efflux Pump Activity in Hospital Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus: A Research Protocol
Authors: Wang Jason , Chen David , Wong Lucus , Chung Eugene
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Heavy metal exposure has been previously reported to decrease bacterial growth. During the growing antibiotic crisis in healthcare settings, metals may reduce bacterial burden in hospital environments. Despite proving successful, this has driven the evolution of metal-resistant strains like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). By expelling cadmium and zinc through surface efflux pumps such as CadA, MRSA is able to thrive in metal-rich environments. This protocol investigates the inhibitory activity of Scinapsin, a novel small-molecule inhibitor designed to bind the catalytic site of CadA. Scinapsin could be applied to clinical settings to combat metal resistance in MRSA populations amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: Computational biochemistry is used to characterize the structure of the S. aureus CadA protein. Small-molecule library screening generated a hit compound, which after modification to improve binding affinity produced the final Scinapsin structure. Several MSRA strains were screened for the presence of CadA from which the most favourable strain for the experiment is chosen (i.e. prevalence in hospitals, CadA expression levels). For the experimental protocol, MRSA strains with metal resistance are incubated with increasing concentrations of Scinapsin, either in the presence or absence of zinc and cadmium (at 50% of predetermined MIC). Samples are then diluted and plated to allow for CFU counting.
Results: Scinapsin is anticipated to have an inhibitory effect on MRSA growth in the presence of metals at 50% MIC, confirming the successful inactivation of CadA function. A saturation point may also occur at higher concentrations of Scinapsin where no further growth inhibition is achieved.
Discussion: Docking analysis has confirmed the theoretical feasibility for Scinapsin to act as a CadA-specific inhibitor. In an in vitro setting like the one presented, Scinapsin should allow for excess zinc and cadmium to accumulate in the cytoplasm and ultimately cause cell death. Further experiments could aim to confirm the proposed biological mechanism of antibacterial activity. Conclusion: Scinapsin holds promise in reversing metal resistance in hospital MRSA populations and may pave the way for other small-molecule antibacterial drugs. Future research is needed to determine safe levels of Scinapsin exposure for humans and how this inhibitor affects other hospital microbes.

Transverse sacral fracture is a rare entity in the pediatric age group, primarily resulting from a fall from height. This case report stresses the importance of proper neurological assessment, adequate imaging and highlights different modalities of management of this fracture. We report a case of a 13-year-old child with type III Roy-Camille sacral fracture with associated bladder and bowel dysfunction. The patient underwent spinopelvic fixation and decompression of the sacral canal. The patient partially regained bowel and urinary function and had improved motor function after three months of follow-up. Operative management is generally advocated for such fractures.

Based on a study of the dimensional structure of phytoand zooplankton, it is demonstrated that fi trophic press leads to a decrease in the population and size of zooplankton. Th isolation of fi zooplankton from planktoneating fi favors the development of largesize fi in particular, Daphnia magna and Daphnia longispina, which can consume cyanobacteria. In cases of high abundance, zooplankton breaks up large colonies and improves its food base. Planktoneating fi and hatchlings eat fi zooplankton, thereby indirectly contributing to the development of cyanobacteria. In cases of higher nutrient input in the absence of planktoneating fi fi zooplankton can regulate the development of phytoplankton, contributing to higher water transparency. Th main consumers of colonial cyanobacteria are largesize fi D. magna, D. longispina, etc.

Anthropological Reconstruction Laboratory of the Center for Physical Anthropology, Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology RAS. The article relates the current state of the M.M. Gerasimov Laboratory of Anthropological Reconstruction of the Center for Physical Anthropology, Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology, Russian Academy of Sciences. Emphasizing the role of the founder of the method of face reconstruction from the skull, the author discusses the latest improvements to this method. The data bank on the thickness of the facial integument in representatives of various ethnic groups, and the accumulated experience with regard to the relationships between facial features and the underlying structures of the skull, made it possible to create a program of craniofacial correspondence ‘The Algorithm of Appearance’, which significantly improves the process of reconstructing in vivo appearance based on the skull. The visual reconstruction of the appearance is supplemented by an anthropological description of the lifetime appearance, in terms of the ‘verbal portrait’ used in forensic science. A description of a unique collection of more than 300 sculptural and graphic portraits made on the basis of the skulls of ancient people and historical figures is given. Based on the examples of specific projects, the possibilities of anthropological reconstruction for solving applied and theoretical problems of science are shown. The reconstruction of the appearance of soldiers killed in the Second World War is the key patriotic direction of the Laboratory s work. Based on the results of these reconstructions, several fi were identifi Th Laboratory is currently at work on reconstructing the lifetime appearance of A.V. Suvorov on the basis of a death mask.

Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, GROMALOVA Natalya , CHEKOVICH Peter ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: October 2021

For the first time, a study of the chemical composition and diagnostic properties of gemstones of the main collection of the Earth Science Museum at Moscow State University has been carried out. The modern non-destructive analytical methods were used. These were the optical and scanning electron microscopy, which make it possible to study material composition without special sampling or probing, the latter fact being highly relevant in the museum field. Optical microscopy data showed that the majority of the studied gems contain a lot of fluid and solid inclusions of other minerals, indicating the natural origin of the examined samples. Typomorphic features of emerald crystals show a shale genetic type of this species. Data from scanning electron microscopy revealed the presence of boron impurity in the composition of diamond single crystals.

“Deus seja louvado por tudo"
Authors: Meulenberg Leonardo
Published: October 2021

Os ideais caracterizam a vida de um homem. Isto vale também para João Crisóstomo († 407). Sabe-se que naquela época o Império Romano era o protetor da Santa Igreja. Seus prepotentes governadores intrometiam-se cada vez mais em assuntos eclesiásticos. Mas qual desses poderosos se interessava deveras pelas necessidades do povo? Mesmo durante a administração de Teodósio se vê como este Imperador piedoso favorecia o interesse do Estado, das classes altas. Uma boa parte dos cristãos deixava- se arrastar pela cobiça, pela ganância, pelo desejo do poder. Também no seio do Episcopado, do clero. João Crisóstomo, porém, protestava contra a exploração dos humildes. E este posicionamento ganha relevo dentro de um contexto de eventos que nos mostram qual foi, naquela época de confusão social, política e eclesiástica, a atribulada caminhada de um homem que se manteve fiel ao chamado do Evangelho até a morte. Talvez este pregador popular dos primeiros séculos nos ofereça um exemplo válido para os dias de hoje.
