THE MIGRATION OF THE POPULATION OF UKRAINE DUE TO A FOREIGN INVASION
Authors: Malynovska Оlena
Published: August 2023

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 led to the mass displacement of the Ukrainian population. It is estimated that more than 14 million people were forced to leave their homes, including nearly 8 million people, primarily women and children, who went abroad. The analysis of the dynamics, directions, and composition of forced migration flows from Ukraine abroad is the focus of this article. Based on the available statistical and sociological data, the author identifies the patterns of the current migration process and its principal characteristics. Traditional migration channels, in particular the inclusion of Ukraine in the European migration system as one of the elements of the country’s European integration, are taken into account when examining the decision-making process, the choice of destination, and the plans of displaced persons for the future.

The current situation does not enable predictions regarding whether displaced persons will remain in their destinations, return home, or migrate further within the country or abroad. Despite this lack of clarity, it can be assumed that the number of international migrants from Ukraine will increase for security and economic reasons. The intensification of migration will occur due to the non-repatriation of portions of refugee populations and the growth of temporary labor migration abroad, which may become a vital strategy among Ukrainians to overcome the consequences of war, accumulate funds to rebuild destroyed housing, and compensate for lost property.

As migrants from Ukraine are typically working age, active, and educated people, the outflow of them can significantly complicate and decelerate the post-war reconstruction of the country. Therefore, creating conditions for the return of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) should be the central task of the state as well as the crucial subject of cooperation between Ukraine and the host countries.

Revisiting the Kantian legacy in Habermas: the philosophical project of modernity and decolonial critiques to rationality and cosmopolitanism
Authors: Consani Cristina Foroni
Published: August 2023

This paper deals with Amy Allen’s critique of Habermas's theory of modernity, democracy, and cosmopolitanism. I will focus on her arguments that touch on the role of rationality. Allen's critique of Habermas will be presented, especially where she argues that focusing on rationality is ethnocentric and promotes the political exclusion of subaltern groups. The extent to which Allen's critiques affect the emancipatory potential of Habermasian theory will next be assessed. It is finally argued that Allen's position leads to a denial of the distinction between social rationality and irrationality as legitimate criteria. The consequences of such a position for the political sphere will then be analyzed.

Impact of Exposure Status on the Diversity and Successional Pattern of Cadaverous Arthropods on Slaughtered Juvenile Pig (Sus scrofa Linn.) Carcasses in Wukari, Nigeria
Authors: Alexander Timothy Chukwu , Okrikata Emmanuel , Tidi Jummai Amos
Published: August 2023

Knowledge of successional colonization of cadaver is important in medico-legal studies especially with regards to postmortem interval (PMI) estimation. Paucity of data especially as it relates to juveniles has limited the appropriate application of this knowledge for the benefit of man. To bridge this knowledge gap, juvenile human cadaver was modeled using 2 slaughtered juvenile pigs – Sus scrofa Linn. (≈ 10 kg mean weight) at the study site. One pig was exposed to sunlight while the other shaded under a tree. Both pigs were protected from scavengers and allowed through the decay stages and sampling for adult arthropods continued till the dry-remainstage of decomposition. Data collected were used to compute frequency of occurrence and relative abundance. Paleontological Statistical Tool (Past3) was used to compute diversity indices. Of the 2032 arthropods of 20 species, across 17 families retrieved, the exposed carcass attracted 44.1% comprising 16 species within 15 families while the shaded carcass attracted 14 species within 12 families. Over 50% species similarity on the contrasting carcasses was observed. Calliphoridae, Muscidae, Dermestidae, Histeridae and Formicidae made-up the dominant families sampled. While Musca domestica L. (Muscidae) and Anochetus sp. (Formicidae) wereexclusively dominant for the shaded carcass, Crematogaster sp. (Formicidae) was exclusively dominant for the exposed carcass. Both carcasses completed decomposition in 14 days but exhibited a shorter advanced-decay stage for the shaded carcass and shorter dry remain stage for the exposed carcass. We thus conclude that, there was little distinction in the diversity and succession pattern of the arthropods colonizing both carcasses (shaded and exposed).

Slip casting is a ceramic processing technique which can be used to produce complex-shape ceramic object. In the present work, slip casting was applied to produce the 70 mm × 10 mm × 15 mm green samples from recycled soda-lime glass. The slip with 60% solid loading was prepared from 100 g of recycled cullet, 1 g of sodium silicate as a binder, 50 ml of DI water, and 16.7 ml of deflocculant. The deflocculant for slip casting was 0.1 wt% sodium tripolyphosphate solution.  After slip casting, the samples were dried at room temperature for 3 days. Then the samples were sintered at 680, 700, and 720 °C with the soaking time of 1 and 2 hrs with 5 °C/min heating rate. The results from statistical analysis showed that there was a high variation on flexural strength which should be from the high closed porosity and high pore-size variation of the samples. Therefore, our glass produced from slip casting is not suitable for load bearing applications. However, this technique still can be used to produce other art products such as Buddha amulets.

Aim: In our study, we investigated the relationship between placental thickness and weight, umbilical cord diameter and length, and placental cord insertion site with fetal distress, and its effects on the baby's APGAR score and cord blood gas.
Materials and methods: In our study, the data of the patients who gave birth in our hospital, whose gestational patient was between 37+0- 41+6 weeks, and between the ages of 18-45 were recorded prospectively. 385 patients (196 patients fetal distress and 189 patients elective cesarean section) were included in the study. Demographic characteristics, placental thickness and weight, umbilical cord diameter and length, insertion site of the umbilical cord into the placenta, newborn gender, first- and fifth-minute. Apgar score, and umbilical cord blood gas values were recorded. All parameters were compared between both groups.
Results: When both groups are compared, Maternal age (29.13 ± 5.20 vs. 25.67 ± 5.27, p<.001) and body mass index (30.10 ± 4.20 vs. 27.15 ± 3.97, p<.001) were found to be statistically lower in Group I than Group II. Placental weight (515 [IQR, 430 – 582.5] vs. 610 [IQR, 520 – 710], p<.001) and thickness (2.42 ± 0.91 vs. 2.72 ± 0.91, p<.001) were found to be statistically lower in Group I than Group II. In Group I patients, umbilical cord length (24.02 ± 10.02 vs. 57.35 ± 13.95, p=.008) was found to be significantly shorter than Group II.
Conclusion: Young maternal age, low body mass index, short umbilical cord, low placental weight and thin placenta were found to be positively correlated with fetal distress. More careful follow-up of pregnant women with these features in terms of fetal distress is important for better perinatal and neonatal outcomes.
Indian South Africans as a middleman minority: Historical and contemporary perspectives
Authors: Johnson Vernon D.
Published: August 2023

Beginning in the 1940s, a literature on middleman minorities emerged to demystify the intermediary economic niche that Jews had occupied in medieval Europe. They were viewed as ethnic entrepreneurs occupying the economic status gap. In the 1960s, scholars began to apply middleman minority theory to colonial societies and to American society. More recently, Coloureds in South Africa have been identified as a middleman minority of another type: semi-privileged proletarians occupying an economic status gap in labour between whites and Africans. A political status gap between whites and Africans, both seeking alliances to achieve hegemony, is also occupied by Coloureds. Among South African Indians, one finds ethnic entrepreneurs: a small shopkeeping and trading class from South Asia. But there are also Indian semi-privileged proletarians who emerged from the indentured labour population in the early twentieth century. This article employs a historical institutional approach to analyse political tensions among Indians, and examines the cleavage between Indians and other races over political rights vis-a-vis the South African state. It also offers a typology contrasting ethnic entrepreneurs with semi-privileged proletarians in terms of the differing economic status gaps they occupy. Furthermore, it illustrates how Indians occupy a political status gap in a complex settler colonial society like South Africa.
The golden opportunity: Recruitment of “foreigners” into the Witwatersrand by mining corporations, 1913-1933
Authors: Mangena Amanda T.
Published: August 2023

In this article the strategies used by mining corporations to facilitate the illegal entry of mine-workers into South Africa between 1913 and 1933 are discussed. In 1913 the government banned the outsourcing of mine-workers from areas that were located north of the 22 degrees line of latitude, but despite this, mining corporations devised ways of sourcing cheap labour to maximise their profits. These workers were referred to as “tropical migrants” and were brought in from neighbouring British colonies and the Portuguese East Colony. Through the Witwatersrand Native Labour Association (WNLA)’s efforts to provide stable workforce and maximise its profits, the prevalence of illegal recruiters bringing in tropical migrants was discouraged. In this article I discuss how the mining corporations facilitated the illegal entry of workers into the country and investigate the role played by WNLA, which benefited immensely from the cheap labour provided by foreign mine-workers.

Published: August 2023

The management of gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) and coccidiosis of livestock relies on the use of commercial anthelmintic; however, the excessive and frequent usage of these drugs has led to the substantial and dramatic development of anthelmintic and anticoccidial resistance. The present study aimed to evaluate the anthelmintic and anticoccidial efficacy of chitosan nanoencapsulated bromelain (CNB) against a wide spectrum of GIN and coccidia in goats. Additionally, the study assessed the safety of CNB in the goats. Bromelain was extracted from the pineapple peels and then encapsulated using chitosan. A total of 20 healthy male goats naturally infected with GIN and coccidia were used. The goats were separated into four treatment groups, with five goats per each. The CNB was orally administered at dosages of 270 and 90 mg/Kg, once daily for 60 days. Fecal egg counts (FEC), fecal oocyst counts (FOC), packed cell volume (PCV), aspartate aminotransferases (AST), alanine aminotransferases (ALT), urea, and creatinine were determined weekly. The goats were monitored for clinical signs daily, and their body weight was recorded weekly. The findings revealed that FEC reduction rates in the group that received 270 mg/Kg CNB and the group that received Albendazole were 73.41% and 79.54% at day 7 post-treatment. Also, the reduction of FOC in the group receiving 270 mg/Kg CNB at day 7 (84.12%) did not show a significant difference with Diclazuril (82.12%). The FEC and FOC were zero (reduction of FEC and FOC was 100%) at 28 days of treatment in goats treated with 270 mg/Kg CNB. During the monitoring period, no mortalities and no clinical signs were observed in the treated goats. The PCV, AST, ALT, creatinine, and urea levels for the goats in all groups were within normal limits. No pathological lesions were observed in the goat’s organs. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that repeated (60 days) dosages of 270 mg/Kg had anthelmintic and anticoccidial effects and were safe for goats. The study recommends further investigation in a field setting involving more animals. This would allow the development of a novel product for managing helminthiasis and coccidiosis in ruminants.

Published: August 2023

The success of artificial insemination (AI) in small ruminants, especially goats, depends on the quality of frozen semen. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine the quality of various diluents, including tris-egg yolk, AndroMed®, and OviXcell®, on semen quality. The fresh semen samples from three male Saanen goats aged 1.5-2 years were collected and the mean individual motility of samples was recorded at 70%. The cryopreservation quality of the semen was evaluated based on motility, viability, abnormality, and total sperm motility (TSM) indexes. The present laboratory experiment was performed with 3 treatments and 10 repetitions. The treatments in this study were T0 (tris-egg yolk), T1 (AndroMed®), and T2 (OviXcell®). The results showed no significant difference in the parameters of motility, viability, abnormality, and TSM among the treatment group. The kinematic parameters’ average path length, velocity curved linear, and linearity showed a significant difference in all treatment groups. However, there were no significant differences among the three groups in terms of motility, progressiveness, distance curved line, distance straight line, average velocity path, velocity straight line, straightness, amplitude lateral head, beat cross frequency, and wobble kinematic parameters. Motility was higher in T2 than in T0 and T1, viability was higher in T1 than in T0 and T2, and abnormality was lower in T1 than in T0 and T2. In conclusion, the use of various diluents, such as tris-egg yolk, AndroMed®, and OviXcell®, can maintain the quality of frozen spermatozoa for over 24 hours, including motility, viability, abnormality, and TSM. Kinematic parameters obtained using CASA IVOS II can provide relevant information for various parameters using these diluents.

For the deaf population that speaks Arabic, Arabic Sign Language (ArSL) is an essential means of communication. This research presents a convolutional model for recognizing Arabic sign language because of the importance of clear communication. We hope to improve the deaf community's access to communication and broaden its sense of belonging by harnessing deep learning's power and fine-tuning the model to ArSL's particularities. To represent the complex hand movements and visual patterns that are characteristic of ArSL, the proposed model makes use of a variety of carefully made architectural decisions, such as the number of layers, the size of the kernels, the activation functions, and the pooling approaches. Our model outperforms state-of-the-art machine learning techniques, as shown by experimental findings on a large dataset. These results not only lay the groundwork for future developments in sign language recognition, but also demonstrate the promise of our technique in improving communication for the Arabic-speaking deaf community.

Published: August 2023

Background: Patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) often have transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT). Inadequate TURBT, floating tumor cell implantation theory, and non-visualized microtumors are major factors for the recurrence of bladder cancer. According to guideline recommendations, after primary TURBT, there is a role of restage TURBT within 2–6 weeks in high-risk patients. The present study’s goal was to assess the role of restage TURBT in high-risk NMIBC.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to identify the group of patients with high-risk NMIBC who may skip the commonly performed restage TURBT operation.

Materials and Methods: In this prospective and observational study, biopsy-proven NMIBC patients with gross total painless hematuria secondary to urinary bladder mass from October 2017 to June 2019 were enrolled. Patients with high-risk disease will undergo restage TURBT after 2–6 weeks of primary TURBT. Residual/recurrent disease and tumor upstaging were recorded. To investigate the risk variables for tumor upstaging after restaging TURBT and residual/recurrent disease, logistic regression analysis was utilized.

Results: A total of 250 patients (deep muscle involvement, n = 237 and no muscle involvement, n = 13) with histopathologic ally-confirmed high-risk disease following re-TURBT were included in the final analysis. During re-TURBT, 18% of patients had residual or recurrent tumors. The presence of upper tract changes, presence of perivesical fat stranding and tumor size >3 cm, high-grade histopathology, and positive urine for malignant cytology had a higher risk of residual or recurrent disease. Histopathological specimens showing the absence of muscle in the primary TURBT specimen, the presence of recurrent/residual growth in restage TURBT specimen, and bladder tumor antigen increased the risk of upstaging.

Conclusion: Despite the low recurrence rate of tumors in restage TURBT, restage TURBT within 2–6 weeks of primary TURBT is an essential step for the accurate diagnosis among NMIBC patients. This further aids in deciding the subsequent treatment step in patients having upstaging and recurrent/residual tumors.

La violencia contra la mujer es una emergencia mundial de salud pública, esta involucra la violencia en el noviazgo. El estudio buscó establecer relación entre los diferentes tipos de violencia y los mitos del amor romántico. La metodología fue cuantitativa no experimental, diseño transversal-correlacional. La muestra fue de 163 mujeres estudiantes de enfermería de una Universidad Pública. Las escalas utilizadas validadas fueron: cuestionario de violencia entre novios adaptado por Rodríguez et. al (2017), (DVQ-R) (i.e., Desapego, Humillación, Coerción, Violencia Física y Violencia Sexual) y la escala de “mitos del amor romántico” de Ramírez-Carrasco et. al (2021), (media naranja; emparejamiento; exclusividad; celos; omnipotencia; libre albedrío; matrimonio; pasión eterna), para los análisis de correlación se utilizó el coeficiente rho de Spearman. Se determinó que; el 26,7% de las estudiantes declaran sufrir algún tipo de violencia por parte de su pareja, sin embargo, al aplicar la escala DVQ-R, se determina que al menos un 40% padece conductas violentas en su relación. Los mitos de los celos tuvieron las mayores correlaciones con las violencias de: desapego, coerción, humillación y violencia sexual; el mito de emparejamiento se correlacionó con desapego, coerción y violencia física; el mito de libre albedrío con desapego y coerción, los demás mitos no se relacionaron con ningún tipo de violencia. Se concluye que los mitos del amor romántico se relacionan con la violencia en la pareja y es urgente desarrollar un programa de intervención para erradicarlos, además que se considere visibilizar las violencias por coerción y desapego, muchas veces desestimadas.

Day-lighting is correlated to the optimum output of the specific purpose of any interior space for which the building infrastructure is constructed. When it comes about designing a studio for student of architecture, it becomes more important because of its connection to creative work. The close link between daylight and productivity is evident from many literatures. However, due to the availability of electricity and provision of different artificial lighting, natural lighting strategies became negligible by designers. But with the rising concern of achieving sustainability, designers now try to revitalize day-lighting strategies in building construction. For this purpose, we need to evaluate the current situation of a space and find out the problem. This paper focuses to evaluate the current day-lighting quality of an architecture studio at two different days: one is typical clear sky day and another is overcast sky day. The finding indicates that adequate windows are provided in this studio which causes it illuminate within range during typical clear sky days but artificial lighting is required when the sky is over casted. Key Words: lighting, studio, illuminance level, window

Estimating the Chiasma Frequency in Diplotene-Diakinesis Stage
Authors: Singh Anjali
Published: August 2023

Chiasma is the point of crossing over or site where the exchange of genetic material takes place between two homologous, non-sister chromatids. The crossover occurs in the pachytene stage, however, it is observed in the diplotene stage of meiosis-I[2]. The cross-over between the two homologs also creates a new combination of parental genes, forming recombinants. The recombination of the genes causes variation in the population and exert a profound effect on genomic diversity and evolution. Meiotic recombination and variation in the population have been a concern for scientists to understand the impact and significance of crossing over in a population. Over time, various techniques, such as immunolocalization and electron microscopy of recombination nodules[2], were discovered for the analysis of meiotic recombination and quantification of crossing over. However, estimation of chiasma frequency is the traditional method followed widely to understand the phenomenon. Chiasma Frequency is defined as the estimation of the level of genetic recombination in a population. It is especially very effective to estimate the genetic recombination in organisms in which genetic analysis is impossible/difficult to perform[2]. So, this article is a layout of the origin of the concept of chiasmata, the factors affecting chiasma frequency, and its distribution in chromosomes. Also discussed, is the procedure for estimating chiasma frequency in plants as well as animals.

Double Big Mac – Evidence-based policing and McDonaldization

This paper focusses on the central position of evidence-based policing (EBP) both in the police, and in police science over the past 25 years. In his paper he shows that this can be seen as a double process of McDonaldization. The four core elements as distinguished by Ritzer can be found both in EBP police research, and in EBP tries to have an impact on police work and police profession. In both cases a central assumption is that context and differences in context can be ignored. However, both are based upon a misunderstanding of the importance of the ‘human factor’. For that reason, both may result in what Ritzer has called dehumanization and irrationalities.
A REVIEW ON ASHARYA ASHRAYI BHAVA RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DOSHAS & DHATU W.S.R. TO ASTHIKSHAYA JANYA VATA VRIDDHI
Authors: Kumari V.  , Khatri M.
Published: August 2023

Ayurveda is the science of life that insists upon equilibrium state of all elements like Dosha, Agni, Dhatu, Mala, Atma, Mana, Indriya. The human body is made up of Doshas, Dhatus (tissue) and Malas (Excreta). These three entities are responsible for the maintenance of structural and functional integrity of body. The equilibrium state of these Dhatus results in Arogya, where as any imbalance in it produces Vikara. Among Dhatus, Asthi (bone) does Sharira dharan. The function of Asthi Dhatu is to support the body along with nourishing majja. Any upheaveal in equilibrium of Dhatus leads to disease. Asthikshaya is a condition described by Acharya Charak under 18 types of Kshaya. According to the principle of Ashraya-ashrayi bhava, Asthidhatu is the seat of Vata Dosha and inversely related to each other. Increase of Vata is the main factor responsible for Asthikshaya. Asthikshaya is condition in which there is Kshaya of Asthi Dhatu. It is a state where the functional capacity of Asthi is compromised due to decrease in its Guna, Karma and structure of Asthi. Understanding of Asharya Ashrayi Bhava is important because they have a working principle and supports the body frame.

Published: August 2023

INTRODUCTION: A person is diagnosed as obese if his body mass index (BMI) is greater than or equal to 30 as per definition of Obesity by WHO. As per modern science, increased intake of energy dense foods & less physical activity causes Obesity. More than 1 billion people worldwide are Obese. An obese person is more prone to noncommunicable diseases like cardiovascular disease (leading cause of death in 2012), Diabetes, Osteoarthritis, some cancers. Ayurveda has enlightened on various etiological factors (Aharaj, Viharaj, Manasik & Anya hetus) responsible for Obesity. MATERIALS & METHODS: To fulfil the moto of conceptual study, materials have been collected from Samhitas, Brihatrayis, Laghutrayis & all available commentaries & other texts of Ayurveda, Research Papers, Articles, Textbooks & Internet. Data collected from above said texts is compiled & presented in scientific manner. CONCLUSION: Ayurvedic literatures not just think about energy imbalance for hetu of Obesity. It has described Aharaj, Viharaj, Manasik & Anya hetus responsible for Obesity (Atisthaulya). Aharaj hetus are more focused on diet intake in Quantity, Quality (Guna), Time & Agni status. Viharaj hetus are focussed on physical activities. Manasik hetus have also been described accordingly. In anya hetus Bij dosha has been described which we can correlate to genetics in today`s modern era. Overall Ayurveda has covered all Hetus like Energy imbalance, Genetics, and Hormonal causes as etiological factors.

The individual transition from unemployment to employment is conditioned by various elements. If some of them concern directly the individual characteristics of workers, while others implicate indeed their environment when searching for a job. The residential location, housing status, and high travel distances to each labor market area are factors that can influence the exit rate of unemployment. This paper aims to integrate, in a job search model with endogenous intensity, the spatial horizon of prospecting. This horizon is introduced through the prospecting distance, which influences both the arrival rate of offers and the search costs. The equilibrium properties of the model lead to an indeterminate effect of the prospecting distance on the unemployment duration. The micro econometric estimation of the structural model allows us to deal with this ambiguity. The method adopted takes into account not only the selection rule on access to employment but also the endogeneity of the choice of spatial mobility. Results highlight that the exit from unemployment is shorter as the prospecting distance increases, but the increase in this prospecting distance does not lead to a decrease in the reserve wage.

A região semiárida do Nordeste tem sua história marcada por episódios de seca, sendo relatas desde o século 16, tendo o evento mais recente de 2012 a 2016, quando as chuvas ficaram abaixo da média na região. As secas causam deficiência hídrica e riscos para a segurança alimentar, energética e hídrica. No presente trabalho foram analisados os períodos chuvosos dos anos de 2012 a 2016 de cidades da Paraíba e do Ceará, identificando quais os sistemas meteorológicos que mais contribuíram com as precipitações ocorridas, e dentre estes fenômenos quais os que provocaram os maiores acumulados de chuva e foram fundamentais para as bacias desses Estados. Analisou-se a precipitação de 170 postos pluviométricos da Paraíba e 150 do Ceará dos quais foram escolhidos 25 Municípios onde ocorreram os maiores acumulados observados no período estudado. Foram analisados boletins climatológicos dos meses chuvosos para identificar quais os sistemas meteorológicos que mais contribuíram para esses acumulados de precipitação. Identificou-se que em ambos os Estados a Zona de Convergência Intertropical (ZCIT) foi um dos fenômenos que mais contribuíram para ocorrência das precipitações, mesmo estando fora da sua posição normal, além da atuação fundamental dos Vórtices Ciclônicos de Altos Níveis (VCANs); e no Ceará, destacou-se também a atuação de Linhas de Instabilidades (LI). O ano de 2014 foi o mais chuvoso nos dois Estados. Enquanto o ano de 2016, foi o ano que obteve os menores acumulados de precipitação, devido a atuação do fenômeno do El Niño, considerado o mais forte nos últimos anos.
