Authors: Huu Tho Nguyen
Published: February 2023

Revised 28 March 2022; Accepted 14 July 2022

Abstract: The structure and bonding situation in the complex of zinc with 4,4’-diacetylcurcumin and methanol ligands, [Zn(L)2(CH3OH)2], were examined by DFT calculations with the levels of TPSSH/def2-SVP and TPSSH/def2-TZVP in gas phase and methanol solvation. For each phase, four isomers with octahedral geometrical structures were found. The complexes were stabilized by Zn-O metal-ligand bondings and the support of hydrogen bondings. The bonding characters were analyzed in detail by the QTAIM and NBO theories. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of the structure and electron properties of the [Zn(L)2(CH3OH)2] complex that was experimentally synthesized and predicted to have significant antiproliferative activities for the human MCF-7 breast and HepG2 liver cancer cells.

In Vietnam general education curriculum 2018, a learning model called STEM education is being interested in and encouraged in teaching and learning. Choosing a STEM topic will  engage students to explore knowledge. The  topics which selected need to be linked to reality and have a direct impact on human life. In the era of industry 4.0, besides data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, etc., the role of automation is indispensable. The previously developed STEM topics are quite diverse, including topics on physics, chemistry, biology, informatics, etc. However, STEM topics about automatic control field are rarely exploited to increase students' awareness of the role of automation in life in the era of technology revolution 4.0, and also enrich the topics of learning and experience in the contents of smart home, warning system, etc. in the general education program issued in 2018. In this paper, therefore, we propose a new STEM project in the field of smart models, which is the smart night-lamp. Furthermore, we use the 6E teaching model to design the teaching process, which emphasis on two elements of technical design and practice in STEM-oriented teaching. After proposing a new STEM topic and designing a teaching process according to the 6E process, we also conducted a pedagogical experiment to ensure the feasibility of the proposed topic in STEM education.
Struktur dan Makna dalam Model Historiografi Radikalisme Islam di Minangkabau Abad ke-19
Authors: Andoni Yudhi
Published: February 2023

Model merupakan salah satu wujud struktur menjelaskan fenomena dalam ilmu pengetahuan, terutama pada paradigma sosial-budaya yang membentuk makna. Hampir seluruh model historiografi Indonesia yang diproduksi tentang masa ini mengesankan bahwa seluruh orang-orang Minangkabau yang hidup dalam tradisi Surau merupakan pengikut Padri atau paham Wahabisme yang tidak toleran terhadap adat istiadat setempat. Artikel ini bertujuan memberikan gambaran satu model historiografi sebagai legitimasi pemaknaan proses radikalisme yang melanda kaum ulama Surau di Minangkabau sejak awal abad ke-19, yang menunjukkan peran keberadaan gagasan kolonialisme di dalamnya. Kesimpulan artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa berbagai karya historiografi sepanjang kurun pasca Perang Padri sampai hari ini telah membentuk satu model historiografi bermakna pseudo-kritis. Historiografi model ini dibentuk oleh paradigma historiografi Indonesia-sentrisme, konsumerisme akademik, dan pewacanaan kebangsaan.

Wisdom is one of the Arabic words which is of one origin for it means bridling beasts and preventing impudence as well. This word has been reported in both poetry and prose. The word wisdom in holy Quran implies a lot of meanings. It is identified in the Quranic context as having the following meanings :( Quran, the prophetic Sunnah, prophecy, understanding, the Bible, credibility in talk and action, knowledge in religion, Quran sciences, preaching, mind, devoutness, and lest). All these words and the ones that are similar to them refer to wisdom because of Quranic context. It is to be mentioned that some interpreters disagree in interpreting the meaning of the word (wisdom) reported in one verse due to the overlapping and the credibility of them more than the others; however, we can conclude the appropriate meaning through reading it thoughtfully and understanding  the whole context. In this study, I aimed at presenting all the meanings of the word (wisdom) that the interpreters have mentioned in the Quranic context. Some of them were compatible and close whilst others were so far in meaning.
The Redundant Aspects of Hafs’ Narration according to the Path of Goodness on the Shatibya: Collectively and Directively
Authors: Saleh Bilal
Published: February 2023

The importance of the topic stems from the fact that the Qur’anic readings and narrations are among the important tributaries of Qur’anic and Arabic studies, with their different directions, phonetic, morphological, grammatical, semantic, and jurisprudence, From it the researcher derives the various linguistic knowledge, and how not, and its source is the Noble Qur’an, which falsehood does not come to it from before it nor from behind it, a revelation from the Wise Hamid, In it is the knowledge of the first and the last, so it was necessary for us Muslims to roam around in its sports of gaze, and scoop from it what our souls yearn for in terms of science and knowledge, so that it will help us in every time and place. For all this, I thought that the subject of my message should be in the Qur’anic readings

The science of the fundamentals of jurisprudence is one of the necessary sciences, as it is the basis on which jurisprudential rulings are built, and from this accurate science many sciences branch out, including analogy. Islamic law, as it deals with new issues and events in all areas of life, and the importance of measurement in worship is of great importance because it relates to knowing the extent of the legitimacy of analogy in worship, and the reader of Islamic schools finds a great disagreement in their sayings, some of them deny it and some of them allow it, so the study aims to address this topic To achieve this goal, the researcher used the analytical inductive method, and in this research a new addition in the field of studies related to the principles of jurisprudence, and the study concluded with the most important results, including that analogy is a legitimate argument to prove judgments, which is the fourth evidence of judgments, and this is the opinion of the public, the permissibility of analogy in acts of worship with reasonable meaning. That is, whatever the cause is known, and as for acts of worship whose meaning is unknown, it is not permissible to measure them, such as measuring the night fast over the day, and this is what the majority of scholars went to.

Objetivo: Analisar a eficácia da radiofrequência como alternativa para o tratamento de disfunções sexuais. Revisão Bibliográfica: A disfunção sexual feminina (DSF) compromete a vida sexual e a qualidade de vida das pacientes, de modo a limitar e restringir suas atividades. Nesse contexto, o tratamento desta disfunção é muito amplo, com opções farmacológicas ou não e procedimentos invasivos ou não. A radiofrequência é um método não invasivo de emissão de ondas eletromagnéticas de alta frequência. Essa técnica estimula a  neocolagênese e a neoelastogênese da mucosa vaginal, e, dessa forma, auxilia na cicatrização de feridas, promove maior elasticidade, integridade epitelial e umidade. A literatura também já descreve melhora da sensibilidade nervosa nesses procedimentos, o que, consequentemente, aprimora a função sexual e a qualidade de vida da paciente. Por fim, a radiofrequência é uma ótima alternativa para o tratamento e pode ser utilizado associado a outros, como a psicoterapia, a qual é essencial para disfunções de origem psicogênica. Considerações finais: A radiofrequência é uma alternativa propícia, segura e eficaz para tratar a DSF em todas as pacientes, principalmente nas pacientes que possuem contraindicações ao tratamento de terapia hormonal.

Методами петрографии, минералогии и электронной микроскопии в Отделе монументальной скульптуры ГОСНИИР и частично в Лаборатории кристаллохимии минералов имени академика Н. В. Белова ИГЕМ РАН исследован вещественный состав фрагментов сине-белых облицовочных плиток и изразцов из собрания Государственного Исторического музея. Несмотря на некоторые различия данных предметов, связанные с освоением и вовлечением разных слоев сырья и изменением технологии производства, выявленные текстурно-структурные особенности черепка и декоративного покрытия, их элементный состав, характер включений и технико-технологические признаки позволяют определить исследованные фрагменты сине-белых керамических изделий XVIII в. как фаянсовые, изготовленные на одном производстве

Utilizing the methodologies of pertrographic, mineralogical and electron-microscopic analysis, the author has studies the material composition of fragments of blue-white facade tiles and glazed tiles from the collections of the State Historical Museum. The analysis was carried out at the Department of Monumental Sculpture, State Research Institute for Restoration (GOSNIIR), and in part at the N. V. Belov Laboratory of Crystal Chemistry of Minerals. There is a good deal of difference between various fragments due to the use of a range of raw materials and to changes in production technologies. However, the structural details of the texture of the pieces and of heir coating, as well as the elemental composition of the piece, types of inclusions and design and engineering details - all of these prove that the fragments of white-and-blue 18th century ceramics are all faience ware made at one and the same factory.

Rational Design of Near-infrared Fluorescent Carbon Nanotube Biosensors with Covalent DNA-Anchors
Authors: Metternich Justus Tom , Sistemich Linda , Nißler Robert , Herbertz Svenja , Kruss Sebastian
Published: February 2023

Semiconducting single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are versatile near infrared (NIR) fluorophores. They are non-covalently modified to create sensors that change their fluorescence when interacting with biomolecules. However, non-covalent chemistry has several limitations and prevents a consistent way to molecular recognition and reliable signal transduction. Here, we introduce a widely applicable covalent approach to create molecular sensors without impairing the fluorescence in the NIR (>1000 nm). For this purpose, we attach single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) via guanine quantum defects as anchors to the SWCNT surface. A connected sequence without guanines acts as flexible capture probe allowing hybridization with complementary nucleic acids. Hybridization modulates the SWCNT fluorescence and the magnitude increases with the length of the capture sequence (20 > 10 >> 6 bases). Incorporation of additional recognition units via this sequence enables a generic route to NIR fluorescent biosensors with improved stability. To demonstrate the potential, we design sensors for bacterial siderophores and the SARS CoV-2 spike protein. In summary, we introduce covalent guanine quantum defect chemistry as rational design concept for biosensors.

Published: February 2023

Fusarium oxysporum f.sp lycopersici is a soil borne pathogen of economic importance that reduces quality and quantity of tomatoes. Various fungicides have been utilized in the control of the pathogen however, resistance still remains a problem. However, biological control has been found as a promising alternative that suppresses F. oxysporum f.sp lycopersici. In vitro and in vivo experiments were carried out to determine the efficacy of Trichoderma harzianum as a bio-control agent against F. oxysporum. In the in vitro experiment, treatments (Trichoderma only, Dual culture, Fusarium only and Mancozeb) were laid in a randomized complete block design to evaluate radial mycelial growth of F. oxysporusm. Trichoderma harzianum significantly (p<0.001) reduced radial mycelium growth to 9.88 mm which is an inhibition of 86.8 % in a dual culture. On the other hand, Mancozeb (positive control) moderately reduced radial mycelium growth by 32.58% hence less effective compared to the Trichoderma treatment. Under greenhouse conditions, plants treated with 4 g T. harzianum exhibited least disease severity and incidence of 17.67 % and 43.7 %, respectively. High severity of 57.33 %, 80.67 % and incidence of 79.2 % and 85.4 %, respectively were recorded for positive and negative controls. In addition, 4 g T. harzianum treated plants recorded significantly higher plant height and total yield per plant for three weeks of harvest than the positive and negative control treatments. In conclusion, 4 g T. harzianum suppressed F. oxysporum development in tomato plants and further research can be done to study its effect on tomato plants under field conditions.

Published: February 2023

South Asia region has the largest agricultural land area and has the largest irrigated system for agriculture – abstracts groundwater for irrigation purposes. The world is facing water scarcity issues and South Asia is also facing the water-stressed due to high population growth. This study tried to examine the impact of water utilization in the agriculture sector and examined the agriculture sector impact on economic growth in South Asian countries. Water utilization means growth in the agriculture sector and it may cause an increase in economic growth. The study used data from South Asian countries (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and Maldives) from 2001 to 2018. Data has been observed through graphical representation to understand the relationship of variables of interest. The results of the research showed that the utilization of water in analyzed countries is one of the reasons for the development of agriculture. Moreover, the development of agriculture may, among other factors, positively affect economic growth. In all the South Asian countries, utilization of water is not efficient some countries utilized the maximum amount of water and get more agricultural growth. Some countries utilized the minimum amount of water and got less agriculture growth. Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka utilized a large amount of water and got more agricultural growth. Afghanistan, Nepal and Bangladesh utilized less amount of water and got less agriculture growth. So, this is not an efficient way of getting agricultural output. Due to old techniques of agriculture production in South Asia, it causes the wastage of water. The developed countries use less input and get more outputs because of this modern era of technology. Also, results revealed that agriculture growth has a positive impact on economic growth for all these countries such as Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Nepal and Bangladesh. It means South Asian countries are agricultural base countries.

The main constraints in potato production were shortage of irrigational structure followed by low information on use of chemical fertilizer, lack of labour at the time of harvesting, insufficient quantity of manure, prevalence of middle man, high cost of transportation and unavailability of improved seed. The mean difference between the farm gate price and market price of Siddicharan and Molung was 7.33 and 5.96 respectively which were statistically significant at p value less than 0.1. The overall average benefit cost ratio was found to be 1.23 in which Siddicharan and Molung had BC ratio of 1.55 and 0.99 respectively which was significant at p value less than 0.01 which indicated that farming in Molung was not profitable. Overall the seed cost, labour cost, FYM cost and bullocks cost should be increased by 900%, 186.95%, 101.88% and 626.31% respectively and chemical cost, machinery cost and transportation cost should be decreased by 99.98%, 73.11% and 99.57% respectively. Return to scale was found to be 0.227 which implies that it was increasing at decreasing rate of return. This study will enable the marketing institutions to orient their efforts towards efficient Production and Marketing of potato in Okhaldhunga.

Wheat is the second most important cereal crop in the world. It has a vital role in the human diet globally, contributing to the daily calorie and protein intake than any other cereal crops. The productivity of wheat is low because of different biotic and abiotic factors. Weeds are one of the most important competitors of wheat crop. Understanding the nature of weeds is important to develop techniques to reduce their effects on the crops. Weeds, through competition with other crops, almost always have a deleterious effect on them and may be economically and environmentally detrimental. For world food sustainability controlling the weed-induced yield losses in the wheat is of prime importance because the weeds compete with the crop and also possess deleterious effects. There are various weed species that occur in the wheat crop field and they possess effects on the growth phases of wheat. Allelopathic effects of weeds on the germination, growth and yields on the crops are recorded. The variation in the vegetative traits such as the number of fertile tillers, spike length, grains/spike due to weeds is reflected ultimately in grain yield and quality. Both broad leaf weeds and narrow leaf weeds infest the wheat crop causing a 13.1% reduction in total grain yield globally. Although tillage operations and herbicides use have played an important role in weed control, but their indiscriminate use has resulted in unacceptable consequences on humans as well as vital ecosystems along with the evolution of herbicides resistance genotypes. Through a combination of integrated weed management approaches the crop competitiveness against the weed can be increased which results in the reduction of the weed-induced yield losses in wheat. The main purpose of this study is to review the competition of weeds in wheat crops as well as its effects on wheat growth and yield components. It also highlights the management strategies which could minimize the inhibitory effect of weeds on wheat crops.

The research was conducted to study on value chain analysis of kidney beans in the Api-Himal region of the Darchula district to gain information from kidney beans producers and traders. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect the primary data from 50 households, and 15 from traders by using the purposive sampling technique. Out of 641 ropani, 255 ropani were used for Beans production. 255 ropani of land needed 1,020 kg of seeds, and productivity was 1.29 mt. /ha. It was found that 72.92% of the members were engaged in agriculture. The study showed that 1 kg of seed cost 120 Rs. The average yield was 202 kg. The average farm-gate price was Rs 141 per kg, and the market was Rs 160 per kg. The mean b/c ratio was 1.3. The land use and productivity of beans is in an increasing trend in recent years. Various problems in the production and trading system gave low returns. There was a large gap between farm gate price, and market price because of many middleman channels and higher transportation costs.
OVERVIEW OF AGRICULTURE IN DIFFERENT PERIODIC PLANS OF NEPAL
Authors: Gaihre Suraj , Dhakal Shiva Chandra
Published: February 2023

Since the first periodic plan, the government of Nepal has strongly emphasized the agricultural sector. This paper aims to provide an overview of the agriculture sector in different periodic plans implemented in Nepal. Agriculture gets the first priority for the first time by allocating the all-time highest proportion (34.8 %) of total outlay in the fifth periodic plan. National concern for the environment, sustainable development, and organic agriculture arises in the eighth periodic plan. The Agriculture Perspective Plan was implemented from the ninth five-year plan, which was able to achieve annual 3.2% AGDP growth against the set target of 4.7%. The fourteenth plan was quite satisfactory compared to other plans in terms of achieving an annual average economic and agricultural growth rate of 6.9% and 4.2% against the set target of 7.2% and 4.7%, respectively. Nine five-year plans and five-three-year plans have been successfully implemented till now. Despite these planned efforts, there is the dismal performance of the agricultural sector in Nepal. The fifteenth five-year plan is an ongoing plan that has national strategies to improve agriculture production and productivity through mechanization, modernization, commercialization, and industrialization. This review helps to identify the performance of the agriculture sector and the gaps or constraints in different plans. Thus, it aids in identifying policies and sectorial programs that the economy requires in the future.
The Interesting and the Pleasant
Authors: Besser Lorraine
Published: February 2023

I argue that interesting experiences are experientially valuable in the same fashion as pleasant experiences, yet that the interesting is nonetheless a distinct value from the pleasant. Insofar as it challenges the hedonist’s assumption that pleasure and pain are the only evaluative dimensions of our phenomenological experiences, my argument here serves both as a defense of the value of the interesting and as an important critique of hedonism.
A Case Report of Simultaneous Hypotensive Patients Managed with Concurrent REBOA in a Single-Surgeon Austere Combat Casualty Environment
Authors: Manley Justin D , Le Alexander T , Nam Jason J
Published: February 2023

Current trends in combat damage control resuscitation (DCR) and damage control surgery (DCS) are moving toward increased support and utilization of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). The initial reports of successful utilization in combat casualty care, spearheaded by the development of the smaller Prytime ER-REBOA™ catheter, have helped to drive further investment into expanding the use of REBOA. We present a case report that highlights the multiple benefits of REBOA in DCR and DCS. This case report involves the simultaneous management of two combat casualties with non-compressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH) and hypotension. Concurrent use of REBOA in this situation, where both patients required immediate surgery with only one surgeon and operating room table available, emphasizes that REBOA use provides temporization of immediately life-threatening NCTH, a relatively dry operative field, reduced time to operative hemorrhage control, and decreased use of blood products.

Los lugares de trabajo generalmente, son espacios en donde las personas se encuentran expuestas a riesgos que son asociados con enfermedades del sistema nervioso tanto central como periférico, lo que puede ser consecuencia de exposiciones químicas y físicas que ocurren en dicho lugar. La encefalopatía, las características extrapiramidales, las enfermedades neurodegenerativas y la neuropatía periférica se encuentran comúnmente en las presentaciones de los síndromes neurotóxicos ocupacionales. Los síndromes resultantes dependen del tipo de peligro, de la exposición (aguda o crónica) y de la organización neuronal afectada. Hallazgos epidemiológicos han sugerido el papel de pesticidas, solventes y metales en el inicio y progresión de enfermedades neurológicas. El objetivo de esta revisión es presentar las manifestaciones clínicas de los trastornos neurológicos ocupacionales y ambientales, discutir las implicaciones tóxicas de estas condiciones y dar indicaciones sobre las ramas ocupacionales y los principales trabajos involucrados. Conocer y categorizar mejor la manifestación clínica de los trastornos neurológicos y los tóxicos asociados, mejorará el manejo clínico de las enfermedades neurológicas ocupacionales. En tal sentido, se realizó una búsqueda de estudios, informes de casos y revisión, particularmente entre los más recientes, para brindar información relevante del tema a lectores, especialistas y estudiantes.
