Authors: Das Jayati , Das Mautushi
Published: July 2022

Limnology is the study of the aquatic system. The current research focuses on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of Bomani beel and Garjan beel in the Kampur district. The study looked into the existence of phytoplankton and compared it to two different beels. The community of plankton changes the water quality based on the parameters. The study looked at 12 water quality characteristics, as well as algae weight analysis and statistical analysis. There are no significant differences in temperature, pH, alkalinity, hardness, turbidity, or other chemical properties. The chlorophyll-a varies significantly; for example, in the winter, the Bomani beel has 10.232 and the Garjan beel has 7.312. Both beels have a Mesotrophic trophic state index. As a result, it is critical to raise public awareness and develop policy strategies for the conservation of these natural resources.

Apocalyptic earth’s last hope
Authors: Anantha Krishna R , Arjun M S , Krishnanunni T R , Arun S
Published: July 2022

With the titular robot as the protagonist, Wall-E (2008) by Andrew Stanton, revives planet Earth after a post-apocalyptic adventure through space one trash cube at a time. The spaceship Axiom houses the last survivors of human rice, drifting across space ignorant of the truth behind Earth’s destruction. The hints of poverty, inequality, famine and conflicts ruined planet Earth can be found in traces throughout the plot. In James Cameron’s Avatar (2009), humans mine the planet Pandora while the inhabitants resist the colonists’ threat against the continued existence of the Na’vi and the Pandoran ecosystem. Earth has run out of energy and is choking in greenhouse gases. Through the genetically engineered humanoid Na’vi bodies, human characters successfully unravel the culture and features of the alien social structure. While Wall-E redeems Earth, Avatar explores the materialistic mindset of man that can potentially lead life on Earth to a halt. The current study evokes the ecocritical scope of the two narratives centred on man’s bleak view of nature and its possible consequences. The Apocalypse warns us that the current Anthropocenean ideal universal, favouring the unmitigated and uncontrolled use of fossil fuels, will prove to be the end of humanity.

Authors: Abdand Sura jumah , Abbas Salma Abdul_Rudha , Abed Baydaa Ahmed
Published: July 2022

The production of free radicals is a major component of the oxidative stress that occurs in biological systems. This is linked to the development of various diseases, including diabetes and hypothyroidism. The presence of these free radicals can also affect the functioning of the antioxidant enzymes. Catalase is an important component of the antioxidant enzymes that protect cellular structures from the damage caused by free radicals. It also neutralizes the reactive oxygen species by preventing them from reacting with metal catalysts. The study was conducted to investigate the effects of Catalase on the activities of various antioxidants in people with diabetes and hypothyroidism. Depression of metabolism by hypothyroidism has been reported to decrease oxidant production and thus protect tissues against oxidant damage. The study included 120 subjects divided into four groups; the first group included 30 healthy control subjects, the second group includes 30 patient’s hypothyroidisms with type 2 DM, the third group included 30 patient’s hypothyroidisms only and the fourth group included 30 patients with type 2 DM only.

Published: July 2022

Adivasi, or tribal, indigenous cultures are home to over a hundred million Indians. Tribes now account for about 8.5 percent of the Indian population. The majority of tribal communities can be found in central India, from west to east, with a few others in the country's north and east. Tribes have left a rich legacy of folklore, ecology, agriculture, art forms and regional artisan methods. Now we'll start with the tribal’s of Andhra Pradesh. The majority of them are currently dealing with a wide range of medical health issues, including malnutrition, maternal and child health issues, hereditary diseases, mental health issues, communicable diseases, specialist disorders, and non communicable illnesses. Another major issue is that tribal people are uneducated and live in impoverished areas, so they have no idea what to do or what not to do. There is also a lack of health-related awareness, a lack of healthcare facilities in remote rural areas, a lack of emergency transportation, discriminatory behaviour by healthcare providers. All of the issues mentioned above have an impact on tribal people.

Jauss' theory of reception
Authors: Singh Raj , Pratima Pratima
Published: July 2022

This chapter tries to look at the reception theory from a lot of different angles. Background: This chapter talks about things like reader response criticism, the Konstanz school of criticism, Hans Robert Jauss, reception theory, and a lot of other things about the theory. Trying to look at Jauss' reception theory in a different way is also a goal. Reception Theory is a novel approach to the reader's role in connection to the principles of interpretation, as well as one of the most significant contributions to the history of literature and a fresh viewpoint on literary experiences. It set a new standard for writers and theorists. Although it is impossible to fully comprehend how strong and revolutionary this paradigm shift was at the time, it is evident that the notions that emerged from Reception Theory are today integral to our attempts to comprehend literature, art, and the world.

Authors: Fadhel Zahraa Hassan , Zghair Khawal Hori
Published: July 2022

The present study was set to demonstrate the prevalence of toxoplasmosis infection and its effects on patients with systemic  lupus erythematosus (SLE) through determining their serum levels of anti-dsDNA and IL-18 antibodies. For this purpose, the sera from 132 SLE and/or toxoplasmosis patients and 30 healthy women, were collected. The study sample was divided into four groups of SLE, toxoplasmosis, SLE coinfected with toxoplasmosis, and healthy control. Anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibodies were examined for all the samples using ELISA kit. The results showed a high mean level of anti-Toxoplasma IgG among SLE patients coinfected with toxoplasmosis (104.8792±12.31585pg/ml) in comparison to that in toxoplasmosis patients (91.1705±12.57746pg/ml). However, the mean value of anti-dsDNA antibodies showed significant (P≤0.01) elevation  in SLE patients and SLE patients coinfected with toxoplasmosis (71.2134±9.22131pg/ml and  72.3699±9.67917 pg/ml, respectively), compared to those infected with toxoplasmosis only and healthy control. Furthermore, the IL-18 mean value in the sera of the studied patients showed significant (P≤0.01) elevation (418.4000±43.18072pg/ml) in SLE patients with toxoplasmosis in comparison to  SLE patients (354.4400±35.29257pg/ml). The present investigation suggests that the  levels of anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibodies seem to increase in patients with SLE.

El presente artículo tiene el objetivo de analizar la seguridad en las transacciones del protocolo Bitcoin, sus ataques y contramedidas. En cuanto a la metodología se exhibe una investigación documental basada en la importancia de la seguridad en las transacciones del protocolo entre iguales (P2P) Bitcoin entre nodos de la red que conforman el ecosistema de monedas digitales. La revolución actual en cuanto al mercado de las criptomonedas ha impulsado el desarrollo de transacciones sin fronteras y sin intermediarios, lo que ha roto paradigmas en cuanto a libertad económica. Se estudia las características técnicas de las transacciones entre nodos P2P, se identifican los ataques en las transacciones y se describen las contramedidas que mitiguen posibles brechas de seguridad en el sistema. Como conclusión se menciona que, con la masificación actual del bitcoin es conveniente implementar mejoras en cuanto a los ajustes de la propagación de la información entre los nodos de la red, la gestión de las comunicaciones y los tiempos de propagación de la información entre ellos. Se pudo conocer que un adversario tiene por objetivo apropiarse de la red ofuscando a los nodos honestos para ganar tiempo de cómputo y energía para provechar estos recursos y apoderarse de las transacciones, teniendo un comportamiento de minado egoísta (selfishmining). Para evitar este comportamiento, es importante aplicar técnicas que mitiguen ataques de denegación de servicios que afecten a la red previniendo la entrega deliberada de bloques maliciosos en el sistema.

DA ENTREVISTA À OBSERVAÇÃO DA AÇÃO – Como o cinema brasileiro mudou para capturar a opressão do contexto sobre os personagens
Authors: Feix Daniel
Published: July 2022

O documentário de entrevistas, proeminente no Brasil dos anos 2000, apresentou diversos personagens fabuladores. Porém, na virada da década de 2010, tomou forma no país outro tipo de filme, caracterizado não mais unicamente pela entrevista, no qual a fabulação passaria a se dar pela observação da ação. Essa hipótese é aqui examinada levando em consideração o afastamento da câmera, que permitiu a inserção da intriga à trama (KRACAUER, 1997), levou ao esvaziamento da presença (RAMOS, 2008) e reconfigurou a relação personagem-espaço (BURCH, 2015), dando a ver a opressão do contexto sobre o personagem. Várias produções do período exemplificam essa mudança, mas a análise se concentra em três filmes da produtora Teia que a sugerem em processo: A falta que me faz (2009), O céu sobre os ombros (2010) e Girimunho (2011).

Published: July 2022

De que forma o cinema pode mobilizar modos de ocupação pelas próprias operações cinematográficas de imagem e de som? A inserção de novos protagonistas no circuito exibidor marca o cinema brasileiro dos últimos dez anos, criando e formando espaços para realizadores, atores e atrizes que antes estavam alocados às margens. Neste artigo, investigamos como o cinema enseja formas de ocupação por meio da interlocução de dois filmes contemporâneos brasileiros: Inabitáveis (Anderson Bardot, 2020) e Esse amor que nos consome (Allan Ribeiro, 2012). A noção de ocupação diz respeito à maneira como os corpos desfazem e refazem uma partilha do sensível. Por meio da dança, os dois filmes criam modos de ocupar os espaços públicos e privados e de conjugar a ficção e o documentário, reconfigurando assim aquilo que é dado a ver, a falar e a sentir.
Electromagnetic Characteristics of the Magmatic Ni-Cu Sulfide Deposits in the Orogenic Belt: A Case Study from Kalatongke Deposits in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt
Authors: Zhou Nannan , Xue Guoqiang , Li Hai , Chen Wen , Lei Kangxin
Published: July 2022

Geologic and geochemical results from the Ni-Cu deposits of the Central Asian orogenic belt show that carbon from carbonaceous sediments was incorporated in the magma that formed the Ni-Cu deposit. Thus, the presence of an Ni-Cu deposit may be hypothesized at localities where carbonaceous sediments are in contact with mafic intrusions. However, the widely developed carbonaceous layer in the Central Asian orogenic belt has low-resistivity and high-chargeability characteristics similar to those of massive and semimassive orebodies, which makes it difficult to detect Ni-Cu deposits by conventional geophysical methods. To test whether the frequency-domain controlled-source electromagnetic (FDCSEM) method can circumvent this problem, a survey was conducted using horizontal electric fields to map the spatial distribution of rock types around gabbro intrusions containing an Ni-Cu sulfide deposit and barren gabbro intrusions of the Central Asian orogenic belt. The recovered resistivity structure resolved two low-resistivity layers: one was located at an elevation range of 850 to 950 m (the elevation of the surface is about 1,000 m) and widespread along the survey lines, whereas the other was present between 300 and 600 m and was limited to only part of the survey line. These structures are interpreted to represent carbonaceous layers. Gabbro intrusions are present as high-resistivity formations. Based on the drilling results, in the area where the deep carbonaceous layer exists, the Ni-Cu orebodies are associated with gabbro intrusions, whereas where the gabbro intrusions are not associated with a carbonaceous layer, no Ni-Cu orebodies are present. These associations can be detected using FDCSEM with a horizontal electric field and could be used to explore Ni-Cu deposits.

Published: July 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has compelled a shift to online teaching and learning in colleges and universities around the world, requiring teachers to adapt their instruction in a very short period of time—regardless of whether they were prepared. Drawing from a sample of 30 faculty and 172 students, the study investigates the teacher’s level of readiness in teaching Mathematics in the Modern World in an online platform in terms of course design, course communication, time management, technical skills, and pedagogical skills and to compare the teacher and student’s assessments of teacher’s online teaching competencies. The study adopted the quantitative-descriptive research method. Stratified random sampling and exact population sampling were utilized. An online questionnaire was used, and the responses were analyzed quantitatively. Results revealed that teachers have a high level of ability to teach the subject online. Additionally, results showed that there is no significant difference in the assessment of online teaching as perceived by teachers and students; this infers that two groups of respondents have the same perception of faculty members’ readiness to teach Mathematics in the Modern World online. Thus, a training intervention program is recommended for teachers in order to improve their competencies in instructional development, time management, technological skills, and teaching strategies. Keywords: course communication, course design, Mathematics in the Modern World, pedagogical skills, technical skills, time management

Personal and professional experiences related to Sars-Cov-2 infection and attitudes to vaccination against COVID-19: the case of medical workers in the Republic of Moldova
Authors:   Free International University of Moldova, Rusnac Svetlana , Condraţchi Diana ,   Free International University of Moldova
Published: July 2022

Annotation: The global COVID-19 pandemic has presented huge challenges for health systems worldwide, but also for the entire population, leading to about 545 millions of infections and over 6.3 million of deaths so far. Faced with an unprecedented critical situation, front-line health workers, directly involved in the diagnosis, treatment and care of patients with SARS-CoV-2, have been exposed to the risk not only of becoming infected but also of developing psychological distress and mental health symptoms. Since the spring of 2020, they have gone through a series of experiences, which have influenced their attitudes towards health and professional activity: the growing number of confirmed and suspected cases, the overwhelming workload, the lack of personal protective equipment, the constant pressure by mass media, the lack of necessary medicines and others, which frequently created the feeling of lack of adequate social and governmental support. The studies conducted during this period have reported adverse psychological reactions among health care workers: reluctance to work or think positively, resignation due to inability to cope with the demands of the profession, symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression, which could have long-term psychological implications. The research presented in this article aimed to identify the cognitive, emotional and behavioral aspects of the attitudes of medical workers in the Republic of Moldova towards SARSCoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination, related to the experiences of the pandemic. The data were collected in a survey conducted in January-February 2022 on a sample of about 130 medical workers, employed in departments with COVID-19 profile and other medical institutions. The results show the attitudes, correlated with the professional and personal experiences within the COVID-19 pandemic.

Первым автором, который написал загадки, связанные с историей Армении, был известный армянский средневековый автор, общественный и церковный деятель Нерсес Шнорали (XII в.). Он сгруппировал загадки по темам. Исторические фигуры из первой группы его загадок на темы армянской истории связаны с дохристианским периодом и с четвертым веком. Они наделены мифической силой и формируют могучую силу и дух народа. Во вторую группу загадок входят выдающиеся деятели, связанные с христианской верой и культурой, которые начали и проложили путь для просвещения и духовно-нравственного роста народа. Шнорали в основном остался верен использованным источникам – это историки-хронографы Агатангелос, Павстос Бюзанд, Мовсес Хоренаци; он лишь слегка интерпретировал и переосмыслил их тексты.
The first author who wrote riddles on the theme of the Armenian history was the well-known author of medieval Armenian literature, Catholicos Nerses Shnorhali (XII c.). He thematically grouped riddles. The historical figures of the first group of his riddles are connected with the themes of Armenian history of the pre-Christian period and of the fourth century. They are endowed with mythical power and form the mighty strength and spirit of the people. The second group of riddles includes prominent figures associated with the Christianity and culture, who began and paved the way for the Enlightenment and spiritual and moral growth of the people. The article shows that Shnorhali basically remained faithful to the sources used such as the chronographershistorians Agatangeghos, Pavstos Buzand, Movses Khorenatsi, he only slightly interpreted and revised their texts.

Published: July 2022

The widespread coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become a major public health problem worldwide. This epidemic
with high morbidity and mortality rates has affected the world of sports, as well as other spheres of human life. In this
situation, as a necessary measure, it was decided to cancel regular training in professional and amateur sports. However,
it was impossible not to take into account that changes in training characteristics, including their frequency, volume and
intensity, can lead to a deterioration in the physical condition of athletes, which definitely has a negative impact on their
professional sports life, including changes in both physiological characteristics and performance.1
In this regard, the goal
was set in the work: to determine the ways to reduce the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the physical
condition of athletes through the use of restorative medical technologies.

Chronic functional constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder in children with no underlying organic cause. Although reasons such as bad eating habits and early transition to solid food are blamed for constipation, the etiology of the disease has not been fully elucidated. Our study aims to determine the differences in stool microbiota between children with chronic functional constipation and healthy children. Feces samples of 49 patients and 40 healthy children who meet Rome IV criteria were analyzed by 16s rRNA /PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) method. Within the sample microbial diversity, the Shannon diversity index was calculated based on the profiles obtained using the R 2.15.2 software package programe. In our study, no statistically significant difference was found between the study group and the control group in terms of the Shannon Diversity Index (p <0.05). The species found in healthy children (n = 34) but not in constipated children were determined as Lactobacillus kefiri and Bifidobacterium infantis. In addition, Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus acidophilus were detected with a higher rate in constipated children (p> 0.005). Although there is no significant difference between microbiota subtypes, the fact that Lactobacillus kefiri and Bifidobacterium infantis were detected only in healthy children may guide the supportive treatments to be given to constipated children. The results of our study also show that there is a need for more comprehensive studies in large populations, supporting other literature studies showing that the gastrointestinal microbiota is different in constipated and normal children.

This prospective, descriptive and cross-sectional study was performed to assess the knowledge and anxiety levels of forensic science experts and technicians working at the Ministry of Justice Council of Forensic Medicine regarding the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome – Corona Virus2 (SARS–CoV2) pandemic. Research data was obtained by a questionnaire, including personal information questions, a Coronavirus 19 Phobia (C19P–S) scale, and knowledge level questions, conducted on 295 participants between 01/10/2020–30/11/2020. Knowledge scores of the participants having bachelor's degrees (16.57±7.51) were found to be lower than those of the associate degree (23.74±6.52) and postgraduate degree (23.29±6.63) groups. The professional group with the lowest knowledge score was the engineer (12.00±4.95). The knowledge score of forensic medicine specialists (24.78±5.98), forensic medicine residents (24.78±5.53), and technicians (23.84±6.61) were higher than other professional groups. The psychological sub-dimension score was 18.69±5.73, while psychosomatic 8.93±3.72, social 14.65±4.47, economic 8.54±3.39, and the total C19P–S scale was 50.80±14.56. The psychological and total C19P – S scale scores of the female participants were higher than the scores of the men. Total C19P–S scores of the participants working in the specialized departments were higher than the participants working on the specialized boards. The highest C19P–S scale total score was determined in the technician's group. In general, the knowledge and anxiety levels were determined as "moderate". The findings of this study indicate that, in addition to the stress of working with a high risk of transmission, also postponed schedules, accumulated workload, etc. may affect the psychological state of forensic science experts and technicians. However, the coping rates are strong enough to keep the stress level at “moderate”. Moderate level knowledge scores may reveal the need to do more reading on health topics and perform more studies on SARS-CoV2 while it may also be seen due to the significant information pollution.
