Second Isaiah
Authors: Mckenzie John L.
Published: October 2021

This is Volume 20 of The Anchor Bible, a new translation in fifty-six volumes, each with an introduction and notes. John L. McKenzie, S.J., Professor of Old Testament Theology at DePaul University, Chicago, has prepared The Anchor Bible translation of Second Isiah, including Chapters 34-35, and 40-66 of the Book of Isaiah.

With its focus on the events surrounding the fall of Babylon to the forces of Cyrus of Persia, Second Isiah is a prophetic book of immense and exultant belief in the renascence of Israel, as the prophet foresees a new age after the long exile. Father McKenzie does justice to the literary sophistication of this book in his translation and he discusses the questions of authorship, dating, purpose, and the audience of Second Isiah in an extensive introduction. In accordance with the aims of The Anchor Bible, Father McKenzie's translation applies new material from the Dead Sea Scrolls, and reflects as closely as possible the mood, sense and style of the Hebrew poetry.
Mark 8–16
Authors: Marcus Joel
Published: October 2021

In the final nine chapters of the Gospel of Mark, Jesus increasingly struggles with his disciples’ incomprehension of his unique concept of suffering messiahship and with the opposition of the religious leaders of his day. The Gospel recounts the events that led to Jesus’ arrest, trial, and crucifixion by the Roman authorities, concluding with an enigmatic ending in which Jesus’ resurrection is announced but not displayed.

In this volume New Testament scholar Joel Marcus offers a new translation of Mark 8–16 as well as extensive commentary and notes. He situates the narrative within the context of first-century Palestine and the larger Greco-Roman world; within the political context of the Jewish revolt against the Romans (66–73 C.E.); and within the religious context of the early church’s sometimes rancorous engagement with Judaism, pagan religion, and its own internal problems. For religious scholars, pastors, and interested lay people alike, the book provides an accessible and enlightening window on the second of the canonical Gospels.

The authors attempt to conduct interdisciplinary research in epidemiology demography and pension economics. A literature was selected upon its relevance to the following key words: COVID-19, ageing and retirement system. The following methods are used: Historical content analysis, information, and analytical, comparative analysis. The analysis part is mainly based on secondary data of Committee on Statistics of the Republic of Kazakhstan and world recognized institutions’ reports such as World Health Organization, United Nations and World Bank. In the demographic analysis the traditional and alternative indices of population ageing such as Old Age Dependency Ratio (OADR) and Prospective Old Age Dependency Ratio (POADR) were widely used. By August 5, 2020, Kazakhstan has 94,882 registered cases of CVI, 67031 people recovered and 1058 deaths. Confusion in the demographic statistics of COVID-19 cases showed all the shortcomings. Even though the OADR and POADR ratios are rising in accordance with UN forecast, the global pandemic will adjust the population ageing, since the mortality of the elderly population from this disease is higher than in other age groups. The Kazakhstani retirement system has been suffered by the COVID-19 as well. Human losses, income poverty and increase in pension costs put a burden on state budget. The research presents recommendations on supporting measures in several directions that need to be taken by policy makers during post COVID-19 period in retirement system.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the biggest health problems in the world because every year there is an increase in cases. In addition to the increasing number, DM is also known to cause many complications which are divided into two, namely acute complications and chronic complications. The emergence of complications and leading to death in DM patients is due to the low self-efficacy and self-care behavior of DM patients themselves. Self-efficacy is an important factor that is defined as a patient's confidence in maintaining and improving his medical condition. Seeing the importance of self-efficacy in the care of DM patients, increasing patient self-efficacy is needed, namely through the Diabetes Self Management Education (DSME) program. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the WhatsApp-based DSME application on the self-efficacy of Type 2 DM patients. This type of research is a Quasy Experiment and the sampling technique used in this study is purposive sampling (Non-Probability sampling). The research design used was Pre-Experiment With Only one Group Pretest - Postest Design. The number of samples was 22 DM type 2 patients. Demographic data collection through questionnaires distributed via google form. The statistical test used was the Paired t test. The results of statistical tests found that there was an effect of WhatsApp-based DSME on the self-efficacy of Type 2 DM patients, with a p value of 0.000 (p <0.05). This shows that there is an effect of WhatsApp-based DSME on the self-efficacy of Type 2 DM patients at the Hamparan Perak Community Health Center.
Competing effects of aerosol reductions and circulation changes for future improvements in Beijing haze

Published: October 2021

Abstract. Despite local emission reductions, severe haze events remain a serious issue in Beijing. Previous studies have suggested that both greenhouse gas increases and aerosol decreases are likely to increase the frequency of weather patterns conducive to haze events. However, the combined effect of atmospheric circulation changes and aerosol and precursor emission changes on Beijing haze remains unclear. We use the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) to explore the effects of aerosol and greenhouse gas emission changes on both haze weather and Beijing haze itself. We confirm that the occurrence of haze weather patterns is likely to increase in future under all SSPs and show that even though aerosol reductions play a small role, greenhouse gas increases are the main driver, especially during the second half of the 21st century. However, the severity of the haze events decreases on decadal timescales by as much as 70 % by 2100. The main influence on the haze itself is the reductions in local aerosol emissions, which outweigh the effects of changes in atmospheric circulation patterns. This demonstrates that aerosol reductions are beneficial, despite their influence on the circulation.

Abstract. This study presents the first full annual cycle (2019–2020) of ambient surface aerosol particle number concentration measurements (condensation
nuclei > 20 nm, N20) collected at Summit Station (Summit), in the centre of the Greenland Ice Sheet (72.58∘ N, −38.45∘ E; 3250 ma.s.l.). The mean surface concentration in 2019 was 129 cm−3, with the 6 h mean ranging between 1 and 1441 cm−3. The highest monthly mean concentrations occurred during the late spring and summer, with the minimum concentrations occurring in February (mean: 18 cm−3). High-N20 events are linked to anomalous anticyclonic circulation over Greenland and the descent of free-tropospheric aerosol down to the surface, whereas low-N20 events are linked to anomalous cyclonic circulation over south-east Greenland that drives upslope flow and enhances precipitation en route to Summit. Fog strongly affects particle number concentrations, on average reducing N20 by 20 % during the first 3 h of fog formation. Extremely-low-N20 events (< 10 cm−3) occur in all seasons, and we suggest that fog, and potentially cloud formation, can be limited by low aerosol particle concentrations over central Greenland.
Exploring the use of compound-specific carbon isotopes as a palaeoproductivity proxy off the coast of Adélie Land, East Antarctica

Published: October 2021

Abstract. The Antarctic coastal zone is an area of high primary productivity,
particularly within coastal polynyas, where large phytoplankton blooms and
drawdown of CO2 occur. Reconstruction of historical primary
productivity changes and the associated driving factors could provide
baseline insights on the role of these areas as sinks for atmospheric
CO2, especially in the context of projected changes in coastal
Antarctic sea ice. Here we investigate the potential for using carbon
isotopes (δ13C) of fatty acids in marine sediments as a proxy
for primary productivity. We use a highly resolved sediment core from off
the coast of Adélie Land spanning the last ∼ 400 years and
monitor changes in the concentrations and δ13C of fatty acids
along with other proxy data from the same core. We discuss the different
possible drivers of their variability and argue that C24 fatty acid
δ13C predominantly reflects phytoplankton productivity in open-water environments, while C18 fatty acid δ13C reflects
productivity in the marginal ice zone. These new proxies have implications
for better understanding carbon cycle dynamics in the Antarctica coastal
zone in future palaeoclimate studies.
Orbital Insolation Variations, Intrinsic Climate Variability, and Quaternary Glaciations

Published: October 2021

Abstract. The relative role of external forcing and of intrinsic variability is a key question of climate variability in general and of our planet’s paleoclimatic past in particular. Over the last 100 years since Milankovitch’s contributions, the role of orbital forcing has been well established for the last 2.6 Myr and their Quaternary glaciation cycles. A convincing case has also been made for the role of several internal mechanisms that are active on time scales both shorter and longer than the orbital ones. Such mechanisms clearly have a causal role in Dansgaard-Oeschger and Heinrich events, as well as in the mid-Pleistocene transition. We introduce herein a unified framework for the understanding of the interplay between internal mechanisms and orbital forcing on time scales from thousands to millions of years. This framework relies on the fairly recent theory of nonautonomous and random dynamical systems and it has been successfully applied so far in the climate sciences for problems like the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, the oceans’ wind-driven circulation, and other problems on interannual to interdecadal time scales. Finally, we provide further examples of climate applications and present preliminary results of interest for the Quaternary glaciation cycles in general and the mid-Pleistocene transition in particular.
Identification of linear response functions from arbitrary perturbation experiments in the presence of noise – Part 2: Application to the land carbon cycle in the MPI Earth System Model
Authors: Torres Mendonça Guilherme L. , Pongratz Julia , Reick Christian H.
Published: October 2021

Abstract. The response function identification method introduced in the first part of this study is applied here to investigate the land carbon cycle in the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology Earth System Model. We identify from standard C4MIP 1 % experiments the linear response functions that generalize the land carbon sensitivities β and γ. The identification of these generalized sensitivities is shown to be robust by demonstrating their predictive power when applied to experiments not used for their identification. The linear regime for which the generalized framework is valid is estimated, and approaches to improve the quality of the results are proposed. For the generalized γ sensitivity, the response is found to be linear for temperature perturbations until at least 6 K. When this sensitivity is identified from a 2×CO2 experiment instead of the 1 % experiment, its predictive power improves, indicating an enhancement in the quality of the identification. For the generalized β sensitivity, the linear regime is found to extend up to CO2 perturbations of 100 ppm. We find that nonlinearities in the β response arise mainly from the nonlinear relationship between net primary production and CO2. By taking as forcing the resulting net primary production instead of CO2, the response is approximately linear until CO2 perturbations of about 850 ppm. Taking net primary production as forcing also substantially improves the spectral resolution of the generalized β sensitivity. For the best recovery of this sensitivity, we find a spectrum of internal timescales with two peaks, at 4 and 100 years. Robustness of this result is demonstrated by two independent tests. We find that the two-peak spectrum can be explained by the different characteristic timescales of functionally different elements of the land carbon cycle. The peak at 4 years results from the collective response of carbon pools whose dynamics is governed by fast processes, namely pools representing living vegetation tissues (leaves, fine roots, sugars, and starches) and associated litter. The peak at 100 years results from the collective response of pools whose dynamics is determined by slow processes, namely the pools that represent the wood in stem and coarse roots, the associated litter, and the soil carbon (humus). Analysis of the response functions that characterize these two groups of pools shows that the pools with fast dynamics dominate the land carbon response only for times below 2 years. For times above 25 years the response is completely determined by the pools with slow dynamics. From 100 years onwards only the humus pool contributes to the land carbon response.

Published: October 2021

The aim of the work was to explore the antioxidant potential and antibiofilm activity of the Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil. The DPPH method was used to determine the antioxidant activity. The agar microdilution method was used to determine the minimum biofilm inhibiting concentration (MBIC). The MALDI-TOF MS Biotyper was used to evaluate the antibiofilm activity on the wood and glass surface. Vapor phase antimicrobial analysis was used to determine the effect on the food model. The antioxidant activity was 28.76 % ± 2.68 %. The MBIC for Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was 25 µL.mL-1 and for Bacillus subtilis 12.5 µL.mL-1. Analysis of the mass spectra of S. maltophilia revealed an inhibitory effect from the 5th, which persisted until the end of the experiment. Analysis of the mass spectra of B. subtilis showed an inhibitory effect from the 7th of the experiment. The experiments showed an effect on both tested surfaces. The food model showed a more pronounced effect of the Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil against B. subtilis. We assume that the effect of the essential oil is to disrupt the polysaccharide structure of the biofilm and consequently reduce the resistance of the biofilm. We have established that MALDI-TOF MS Biotyper is a suitable tool for evaluating changes in biofilm structure and could find more significant application for the study of biofilms in food and clinical practice.

Published: October 2021

The use of natural ingredients is one of the ways to handle the problems related to the development of new technology for specialized domestic bakery production, whereas in case of their deficit the complete use of food nutrients becomes rather difficult.
So, we have set up a goal to develop a technology for functional biscuit production by using semi-finished fig products and at the same time replacing sugar with sugar substitutes of natural origin and low cost price.
Since the production of such food varieties is rather restricted in our country, the new product obtained through the recommended technology would provide an additional opportunity to develop the sector of dietary food production.

Published: October 2021

This research sets out to assess both the antibiotic exposure via milk produced in the Republic of Armenia and the associated human health risks. As established, the milk of domestic production contains residual antibiotics (streptomycin, chloramphenicol, tetracyclines). The estimated daily intake (EDI) and the margin of exposure (MOE) for the antibiotics identified upon this research were assessed. It has been indicated that for the population of Yerevan, the daily intake of antibiotics via milk does not exceed the acceptable daily intake (ADI). Moreover, the derived MOE values point to the absence of health risks
associated with shop-bought milk.

A interferência de plantas daninhas na cultura do amendoim é um dos principais fatores limitantes do crescimento, desenvolvimento e produtividade da cultura. Em virtude disso, a busca por alternativas para o controle de plantas daninhas é necessária para realização do manejo da cultura. Desta forma, objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos fitotóxicos de diferentes formulações comerciais e doses de 2,4-D em genótipos de amendoim rasteiro. Os genótipos estudados foram: IAC-OL3, IAC-870, IAC-505 e IAC-OL4. Para isso, o experimento foi conduzido em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições, em esquema fatorial 2 x 8 (formulações comerciais x doses). As doses isoladas de 2,4-D aplicadas foram: 0, 228, 456, 910 e 1370 g e.a. ha-1, aos 25 dias após a emergência (DAE), e as sequenciais foram: 114+228, 228+228, 228+456 g a.i. ha-1, aplicadas aos 25 e 40 DAE. A fitointoxicação foi avaliada visualmente aos 7, 14, 21, 28 e 35 dias após a aplicação dos tratamentos (DAA). Aos 35 DAA foram determinados o comprimento da haste principal, número de ramos primários, comprimento do ramo primário mais desenvolvido e massa seca da parte aérea, raiz e total. Constatou-se que as plantas submetidas às maiores doses apresentaram intoxicação inicial alta. Além disso, observou-se comportamento morfológico diferencial entre os genótipos. Independente do tipo de formulação do herbicida (sal de colina e sal de amina), a aplicação de 2,4-D nas doses 228, 456, 114+128; 228+228 g e.a. ha-1 não foram fitotóxicas. Por outro lado, as doses 1370; 910 e 228+456 g e.a. ha-1 foram fitotóxicas para as cultivares estudados.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands has historically been known for its high malaria transmission in the past. The aftermath of tsunami (2004), increased its risk and vulnerability, due to stagnant water bodies. Anopheles sundaicus is the predominant vector responsible for the perennial transmission of malaria in these islands. The Great Nicobar Island being one of the Tehsil of Nicobar District, is an important tourism centre attracting both national and international visitors in large numbers throughout the year. Community knowledge on malaria and its vectors is a pre-requisite for any successful malaria control programme. In order to determine the community knowledge regarding malaria transmission and control, a cross sectional survey was carried out in three villages of Great Nicobar Island, having high malaria incidence. A total of 170 individuals, viz., 70 Nicobarese (tribal) and 100 non-Nicobarese (non-tribal) were enquired. Both quantitative (KAP) and qualitative (FGD) survey methods were employed to collect the data. Among the Nicobarese, 98.6% were aware of the disease, 94.2% had knowledge of its symptoms. Similar observation was found among the non-Nicobarese community. However, knowledge on the bionomics of malaria vector and transmission was observed to be low in both the groups (17-23%). In the community based awareness campaign, field visits to the vector breeding sites is to be emphasized. Involvement of Self Help Groups and school children would facilitate easy dissemination of knowledge on vectors to the community. This improved awareness could help in reducing vector proliferation and form a basis for effective implementation of malaria control programme.

Published: October 2021

Glucose-6 Phosphatase activity was studied in the air breathing fresh water catfish (Clarias batrachus) by giving the probiotic feed. The experiment was conducted in laboratory condition with glass jar aquarium. Bacteriological and different biochemical tests like cytochrome oxidase, fermentative and catalase test were analysed along with certain physiological parameters of water samples. Clarias batrachus was fed by prepared four diets, F1, F2, F3 and F4. The diets were prepared using fishmeal, soyabean meal, groundnut oil cake, rice bran, vitamin mineral mixture and different concentration of probiotics. The Clarias batrachus in experimental treatments were fed by the prepared diets upto six weeks. The significant amount of Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) was found in the gut microflora of the experimental fish. Glucose 6- phophatase activity was decreased in liver with increase in probiotic concentration in feed. But the enzyme activity in kidney, gill and stomach did not follow any trend. The water quality parameters like pH, CO2, DO, alkalinity, ammonia concentrations of the experimental tanks were varied significantly with treatment time.

Some insects cause high losses of the common bean during storage, namely, Acanthoscelides obtectus Say. Chemical insecticides are commonly used to control insects, but their overuse adversely affects the environment and consumers' health. There is, therefore, the need for an alternative control method. This study was aimed to evaluate the chemical characterization and insecticidal property of Moringa oleifera seed extract on the developmental stages of A. obtectus in stored beans. Three types of M. oleifera seed extracts, namely methanol, ethanol and acetone extracts, were used at doses of 12.5, 25 and 50 µl/ml each. HPLC-MS was used to characterize these extracts. The toxicity of extracts against the adults, the number of eggs and the viability rate of laid or emerged eggs of A. obtectus were evaluated. The results show that M. oleifera seed extract is rich in Hesperidin, Quinic acid, gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, 4-OH benzoic acid, cynaroside, isoquercitrin, cosmosiin, quercitrin, luteolin, naringenin, salicylic acid, Apigenin and Fumaric acid. The acetone extract, from day 2, showed a 100% mortality rate in all doses compared to about only 14% in the control treatment. The number of eggs laid in control (236.67) was higher than the null (0) in acetone treatment at 50 µl/ml. M. oleifera seed extracts contain chemical molecules. They significantly reduced the damage caused by A. obtectus on stored P. vulgaris grains. Therefore, they can be used as an alternative to chemicals for the protection of stored foodstuffs.

Los recursos digitales son una herramienta importante en la vida cotidiana de toda la sociedad, por lo cual es necesario conocer la calidad de estos recursos, en especial en el ámbito educativo, como los propuestos por el Ministerio de Educación en los textos escolares. Esta investigación, de tipo cualitativa, da cuenta de los recursos educativos digitales propuestos en los textos escolares de Biología y Química de Educación Secundaria chilena del año 2018. Para ello se buscó conocer la disponibilidad; rol pedagógico y calidad de dichos recursos, a través de análisis de contenido en una muestra de tres textos escolares de Biología: 1, 2 y 3-4 de secundaria y tres de Química: 1, 2 y 3-4, también de secundaria. Se evidencia que existen 24 recursos no disponibles en los textos de Biología, de un total de 76; y 67 recursos de 148 en los textos de Química. En el rol pedagógico de los recursos predomina el informativo en desmedro del demostrativo e interactivo en ambas disciplinas. Finalmente, en cuanto a la calidad de los recursos definida como excelente, regular y deficiente, se observa que los textos de Química proporcionan recursos de mejor calidad.
Implementación de soluciones informáticas en Colombia
Authors: Castilla Orozco Carlos Hernando
Published: October 2021

Debido a la especificidad y diversidad del contexto colombiano, nos enfrentamos a una serie de retos al momento de diseñar, implementar y validar la efectividad de soluciones tecnológicas en nuestro país. En Colombia, como en otros países del sur global con una creciente penetración tecnológica, nos topamos con barreras que la Interacción Humano-Computador (HCI) históricamente no se ha planteado por ser concebida desde el norte global. Miradas alternativas como Interacción Humano-Computador para el Desarrollo (HCI4D), han sido claves para lograr diseñar tecnología en poblaciones históricamente desatendidas. Esto junto con una tercera ola dentro de HCI, ha generado discusiones alrededor de la importancia de situar, como centros de estudio, las culturas y los contextos desde donde las personas le dan sentido a las tecnologías digitales; gracias a las prácticas vernáculas que estas poseen. Lo anterior, ha hecho explícita la necesidad de no solamente traspasar, sino repensar y localizar la manera de conducir investigación, evaluación y la formulación de conceptos centrales de dicho campo de estudio. Así esta investigación persigue, en su primera fase, entender el fenómeno de la implementación de un campo de investigación en diseño como HCI en contextos del sur global y los retos que esto conlleva.

Se planteó un ejercicio bajo la idea de desmaterialización para entender como las actividades cotidianas podrían ser el medio para reducir la cantidad de materia, el tipo de material y la forma en que se usan los objetos, todo esto integrando los principios de la economía circular.
En el proceso, se analizaron temas como la sostenibilidad y la responsabilidad social frente a la creación de nuevos productos, lo cual permite concluir que el rol del diseñador juega un papel de alta responsabilidad en el desarrollo de objetos. Para este proyecto, se determinó una necesidad básica, la preparación de alimentos; A partir de esto se definió que el proceso debía contener una parte de investigación en fuentes y otra se realizaría a modo de exploración en un taller para preparar alimentos usando las manos como única herramienta. En la actividad se encuentran formas alternativas para pelar, mezclar, servir, entre otros, usando los residuos propios de los alimentos que se usaron en la elaboración. Al final se concluye que hay muchos objetos que pueden ser simplificados e incluso eliminados, los objetos inundan el entorno, por ello es necesario pensar ¿Cuántos de ellos verdaderamente necesitamos?

La presente ponencia es el resultado de la primera fase de investigación del proyecto denominado “Aplicación de sistemas electrónicos modulares como alternativa en el diseño de tecnologías asistivas para la inclusión de personas en condición de discapacidad física en actividades de manufactura (caso en empresa local), la cual consiste en el diagnóstico de la situación laboral de las personas en condición de discapacidad actualmente el área metropolitana centro occidente de la ciudad de Pereira, en relación a los múltiples factores que intervienen en los datos y apreciaciones que sobre esta problemática existe a nivel local. Para el desarrollo de esta investigación ha sido usado el método ERTDM “Empirical Research Through Design Method (Método de Investigación empírica a través del Diseño). Los instrumentos utilizados parten de la indagación y comparación de cifras oficiales, y procesos de abordaje cualitativo como entrevistas que permitieron la consolidación de un marco de referencia desde el cual analizar la problemática de la inclusión laboral de personas en condición de discapacidad, para posteriormente iniciar con una fase proyectual que permita el desarrollo de un instrumento de investigación representado en un artefacto para medir las posibilidades de implementación de esta tecnología en entornos manufactureros locales.
Heurísticas en la etapa de investigación y conceptualización aplicada por los estudiantes de diseño industrial de la Universidad del Norte para el diseño y desarrollo de productos
Authors: Salas Acuña Neytan Luis
Published: October 2021

Durante la formación para el desarrollo de productos, los estudiantes de Diseño Industrial conceptualizan propuestas con el fin de traducir la información proveniente de un proceso de indagación del mercado y la tecnología. En esta toma de decisiones se involucran heurísticas, o sea, procesos mentales rápidos que devienen del inconsciente y que se tornan indispensables en la mayoría de decisiones de un diseñador. Para comprender las heurísticas en los estudiantes de Diseño Industrial, se desarrolló un estudio con 20 estudiantes de la asignatura Taller 4 desarrollo de nuevo producto; esta es la etapa que determina el éxito de las heurísticas y la que, posiblemente, determine el éxito de las siguientes entregas. El proyecto de diseño desarrollado por los estudiantes, fue producto de cocción bajo el concepto No más salpicaduras, para la empresa IMUSA. Se acogió un enfoque cualitativo y la teoría fundamentada; con observación de los sujetos en su entorno real, comparando características y situaciones con el fin de definir, categorizar e identificar las heurísticas empleadas al momento de la conceptualización posterior a una indagación. Como resultado, se evidenció que los estudiantes involucraron un pensamiento general, al dirigir su atención al sartén y, luego, dirigirla a un problema específico, siendo etapas o modificaciones básicas. El abordaje del problema específico es una variable dependiente del pensamiento general; al no tener un antecedente representativo o de un estado del arte claro, hace que la formulación de la solución de diseño, sea común y no se involucren necesidades identificadas para un mercado.
