Published: January 2022

This descriptive analytical legal study aimed to clarify the position of international treaties in the Jordanian constitution and judiciary by shedding light on the theoretical trends that determined the status of international treaties in comparative legislation, in addition to verifying the constitutionality of the Jordanian side's signature on some international treaties that occupied Jordanian public opinion. The study revealed that the difference of international law jurists in determining the legal status of international treaties in constitutions and positive laws resulted in three directions: the trend of the unity of the two laws, the trend of the Dual-law, and the trend of reconciling the two laws. The study also showed that the Jordanian constitution did not adopt an explicit provision for the legal status of treaties. International conventions, leaving room for jurisprudential and judicial jurisprudence that affirmed the supremacy of international treaties over domestic law. The study also found that the Jordanian legislator’s neglect of determining the legal status of treaties, and the double signature of them by the executive authority alone or in combination with the legislative authority in accordance with two conditions under Paragraph B of Article 33 of the Jordanian Constitution, has opened the door wide for controversy over any treaty to be signed by the Jordanian side, To demonstrate this, the study mentioned practical applications from international treaties signed by Jordan, namely: the Israeli Gas Supply Agreement, the Casino Agreement, and the CEDAW Agreement. In light of the results were reached, the study presented a set of recommendations that were such as issuing a law for international treaties to regulate international treaties in all the stages through which they pass, adding a constitutional text confirming the oversight role of the National Assembly over international treaties, provided that this constitutional text includes informing the National Assembly of any treaty or agreement that is concluded by Jordan.

Published: January 2022

The poet "Ghazi bin Abdul Rahman Al- Gosaibi" is considered one of the figures of Saudi literature in particular, and Arab literature in general. I tried to reach in this book the literary depth, which made with Mina Al- Qusaibi broadcast his book the juice of an experience that was not a little in literature, and the same is true that the exploration of the literary depths that we discussed in this book, did not come to Al- Qusaibi that he is only a poet, but that he combined politics And literature, and this is what brings us to the beautiful literary eras, when the poet combined literature and politics, for example: to be a minister, or a prince, in the Abbasid era, for example, and a poet at the same time. When you stand with the Diwan of Sunset Garden, you can stand with Al- Qusaibi's biography, as if he wanted to summarize the stations of his life, and his lost companions, and he is fully aware that, today, he laments those who lose his comrades, and tomorrow he laments. In this research, we found out how political life played a major role in making Al- Gosaibi see things that the public did not see. Had it not been that he came out for us with a literary- political book he called "In My Humble Opinion", which is not the field of our research now, but the follower of Al- Qusaibi's production knows how much he had a view of life different from that of the ordinary human being. As for the title of the Diwan, Al- Gosaibi combined two opposites with it. It is as if he wanted to summarize great things in himself, through this title, as he came at the beginning “The Garden” and it is known to us that the garden denotes greenery and psychological comfort; As it bears a natural divine beauty, it restores calm to the human soul. As for “sunset” it indicates the end, indicates the end of the day, and comes after sunset the night, and the worries and pain that the poets endured since the pre- Islamic era. As for Al- Qusaibi: He tried to say through the title of the Diwan: His condition is like that of the owner of any house who takes care of him and makes him in the best condition, and takes care of his garden, but at the end he sits in this garden waiting for his day.

Hydrazide- and Diazole-Linked Covalent Organic Frameworks and Their Water Harvesting Properties
Authors: Nguyen Ha , Gropp Cornelius , Möckel Anna , Hanikel Nikita , Lund Alicia , Yaghi Omar
Published: January 2022

We report a retrosynthetic strategy and its implementation to making covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with irreversible hydrazide and diazole (oxadiazole and thiadiozole) linkages. This involved the synthesis of a series of 2D and 3D hydrazine-linked frameworks, followed by their oxidation and dehydrative cyclization. Each linkage synthesis and functional group transformation—hydrazine, hydrazide, oxadiazole, and thiadia-zole—was evidenced by 15N multi-CP-MAS NMR. In addition, the isothermal water uptake profiles of these frameworks were studied, leading to the discovery that one hydrazide-linked COF is suitable for water harvest-ing from air in arid conditions. These COFs displayed characteristic S-shaped water sorption profiles, a steep pore-filling step below 18% relative humidity at 25 °C, and a total uptake capacity of 0.45 g g–1 at P/Psat = 0.95. In addition, a total of ten 2D and 3D structures with various such linkages were studies for their affinity to water. We found that even small changes made on the molecular level can lead to major differences in the water isotherm profiles and therefore pointing to the utility of water sorption analysis as a complementary analytical tool to study linkage transformations.
Predicting the Redox Potentials of Phenazine Derivatives using DFT Assisted Machine Learning
Authors: Ghule Siddharth , Dash Soumya , Bagchi Sayan , Joshi Kavita , Vanka Kumar
Published: January 2022

Here, four machine-learning models were employed to predict the redox potentials of phenazine derivatives in DME using DFT. A small dataset of 189 phenazine derivatives having only one type of functional group per molecule (20 unique groups) was used for the training. Models were validated on the external test-set containing new functional groups and diverse molecular structures and achieved reasonable accuracies (R2 > 0.57). Despite being trained on the molecules with a single type of functional group, models were able to predict the redox potentials of derivatives containing multiple and different types of functional groups with reasonable accuracy (R2 > 0.6). This type of performance for predicting redox potential from such a small and simple dataset of phenazine derivatives has never been reported before. Redox Flow Batteries (RFBs) are emerging as promising candidates for energy storage systems. However, new green and efficient materials are required for their widespread usage. We believe that the hybrid DFT-ML approach demonstrated in this report would help in accelerating the virtual screening of phenazine derivatives saving computational and experimental resources. This approach could potentially identify novel molecules for green energy storage systems such as RBF.
Dynamic Wetting of Photo-Responsive Arylazopyrazole Monolayers is Controlled by the Molecular Kinetics of the Monolayer
Authors: Honnigfort Christian , Topp Leon , García Rey Natalia , Heuer Andreas , Braunschweig Björn
Published: January 2022

Smart surfaces that can change their wetting behavior on demand are interesting for applications such as self-cleaning surfaces or lab-on-a-chip devices. In order to functionalize aluminum oxide surfaces, we have synthesized arylazopyrazole phosphonic acids (butyl-AAP-C18PA) that represent a new class of photoswitchable molecules for these oxide surfaces. Butyl-AAP-C18PA monolayers were deposited on alpha-Al2O3(0001) and show reversible E/Z photo-switching with UV (Z) and green (E) light that can trigger contact angle changes of up to ~10°. We monitored these changes on the macroscopic level by recording the dynamic contact angle while the monolayer was switched in situ from the E to the Z state. On the molecular level, time-resolved vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy provided information on the kinetic changes within the AAP monolayer and the relevant characteristic time scales for E to Z switching and vice versa. In addition, vibrational SFG at different relative humidity indicates that the thermal stability of the Z configuration is largely influenced by the presence of water and that water can stabilize the Z state and, thus, hinder the AAP monolayer to switch into the E state when it is immersed in H2O. Having established the characteristic times for switching on the molecular scale from SFG spectroscopy, we additional measure the dynamic contact angle. Further, we reveal the time scales of the coupled substrate and droplet dynamics which we have extracted individually. For that, we report on a relaxation model, that can be solved analytically and which is verified via comparison with simulations of a Lennard Jones system and a comparison with experimental data. Indeed, our modelling of these coupled relaxation processes allows us to predict the non-trivial variation of the time-dependence of the contact angle when changing the size of the droplet. The observed slowing-down for E to Z switching upon the presence of the droplet is rationalized in terms of specific interactions of water with the exposed AAP moieties.

Published: January 2022

Resiliência é um termo originalmente empregado na Física que, posteriormente, passou a ser utilizado também pela Psicologia para descrever a capacidade do indivíduo de recuperar, no contexto de saúde mental, sua própria homeostase e evitar o desenvolvimento de um resultado psicopatológico após exposição aguda ou crônica ao estresse. Um indivíduo com alta resiliência tem, portanto, maior capacidade de manejar suas dores e problemas e, consequentemente, adotar uma postura positiva diante, por exemplo, do diagnóstico de doenças crônicas, como as doenças reumáticas autoimunes. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o grau de resiliência de pacientes com Lúpus Eritematoso Sistemico (LES) Artrite Reumatóide (AR) e Esclerose Sistêmica (ES) acompanhados no ambulatório especializado de um hospital universitário, buscando identificar os possíveis fatores associados à baixa resiliência e investigar a relação desta com depressão e ansiedade. MÉTODOS: Estudo observacional transversal e descritivo, utilizando-se de questionários de resiliência (Escala de Resiliência de Wagnild Young), ansiedade e depressão (Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão – HADS) em pacientes acompanhados no ambulatório especializado de reumatologia. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos neste estudo 44 pacientes (23 com LES, 17 com AR, 4 com ES). Destes, 27,3% tinham grau de resiliência baixo e a prevalência de depressão foi 16,25 maior nestes pacientes do que aqueles com grau moderado e 13,75 vezes maior comparado aos de grau elevado. Também apresentaram prevalência 9,78 vezes maior de distúrbios de ansiedade do que pacientes com grau moderado, e 16,50 vezes maior do que pacientes com grau elevado de resiliência.CONCLUSÃO: Pacientes

Authors: Ahmed Sara A. , Mubarak Mohamed , Abbas Mahmood , Hamid Shaikh A. , K.Singal Arbinder
Published: January 2022

Background & Objectives: Un-descended testis (UDT) is the most common congenital anomaly in male newborns. Spontaneous descent of testes does not occur beyond six months of age. As Bahrain has a universal child screening program, primary care physicians are the first physicians to encounter these children. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge of UDT, its work up and management among primary care physicians in Bahrain. Awareness of recent guidelines and current recommended practices in management were evaluated. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was based on a self-administered 12-item questionnairewith questions about incidence, pathophysiology, examination, management and complications of undescended testes, which was distributed among 101 among primary care physicians. Data was expressed as mean±standard deviation and measures of central tendency were used for descriptive analysis. P value was set at <0.05. Results: An equal number of family physicians and pediatricians completed the survey, while general practitioners formed the lowest proportion of responders. Most of the responders had at least 5 years of experience (72.3%) and encountered an average of one to four cases of UDT per year (70.3%). With respect to the knowledge of UDT and specialty (p >0.05), work experience (p >0.05) or annual case load (p >0.05) was observed. The average score in this cohort was 5.9 out of a maximum of 10 points. About 50.5% of the respondents scored between 5 and 6 points (50.5%). Conclusions:A remarkablegap in the knowledge about the different aspects of UDT amongst primary care physicians was documented.

Published: January 2022

The article deals with the issue of improving the preparation of pre-service teachers of choreographic course of study for the independent arrangement of their educational activities in the process of professional education. The author defines that the ability to self-organization is one of the key competencies of pre-service teachers, which is based on the skills of educational self-organization. With these skills, students gain the opportunity to effectively plan, diagnose, monitor, adjust and evaluate their learning and its effectiveness. The paper substantiates the essence of the concept of «skills of educational self-organization» and discloses its content, taking into account the specifics of special disciplines and the nature of educational (scientific-theoretical, methodological, creative-interpretive, pedagogical, ballet-master, artistic and performing) activities of pre-service teachers-choreographers. Focusing on the current trends in the increase in the number of academic hours planned for independent work, and the gradual transition in the training of specialists to distance and mixed forms of education, the article emphasizes the importance of developing and applying special pedagogical principles and conditions for organizing vocational education of students-choreographers based on educational self-organization and self-education. It has been determined that scientific principles underlie the study of pedagogical theories, processes and phenomena and guide the strategy of their development. In the context of the formation of the skills of educational self-organization of pre-service teacher of choreographic course of study, expedient pedagogical principles are determined: the principle of personal-semantic coordination, the principle of professional self-presentation, the principle of personalization of training. It is indicated that the developed special pedagogical conditions can create favorable circumstances in the educational process for achieving the set goal. Effective pedagogical conditions for the successful formation of the skills of educational self-organization of pre-service teacher of choreographic course of study are: activation of students’ motivation for independent activity, support for the initiative of self-education of future specialists, ensuring the development of the volitional sphere of students.

Published: January 2022

The article highlights new views on the possibilities of teachers’ professional development in postgraduate education system, due to the transition from learning management systems (LMS) to the next generation digital learning environment (NGDLE) as an ecosystem of digital tools to support the activities of subjects of the educational process. For the first time, the authors have revealed the signs of environmental friendliness of the NGDLE, have characterized it as an open, stable, safe and comfortable system for subjects of the educational process, providing information exchange between them, as well as between them and the world around them. Such digital ecosystems are created as digital twins of the real postgraduate education institutions for the efficient lifelong learning and teachers’ professional development. The practical implementation of these new generation concepts has been presented on the example of the Ukrainian Open University of Postgraduate Education, designed to organize and support non-formal postgraduate education. It has become a complex of digital solutions aimed at the implementation of EdTech with a priority in the successful functioning of virtual chairs, conducting the educational process (formal/non-formal education), professional development of students and teachers, attracting people from different regions of the country to training and teaching, highlighting innovative educational practice, etc.

Background: The emergence of acne scars due to skin damage in the acne healing process and causes psychological effects. The management of acne scars can be done in several methods. Microneedling is a very simple, safe, effective, and minimally invasive therapeutic technique compared to other therapeutic modalities in acne scars. The resulting wound is micro-sized, and promotes the growth of growth factors and collagen production. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of using microneedling as an acne scar treatment option. A systematic review and meta-analysis were qualitatively and quantitatively conducted from RCTs, assessing the effectiveness of microneedling in reducing the severity of acne scars according to Goodman and Baron in the treatment of acne scars. Methods: Medline Pubmed, PMC, Scopus, Google Scholar, and JDC library, eligible search. Ten studies (n=514) were analyzed qualitatively with 2 studies (n=53 subjects) and quantitatively analyzed by 2 studies (n=90 subjects). Both analyzes were included in the meta-analysis. The mean age of the participants was 40.5 years. The application of microneedling intervention as monotherapy or a combination in patients with acne scarring was followed for at least 16 weeks, the results obtained were the mean reduction in the degree of acne scarring after microneedling. Result: The combination of microneedling treatment obtained a qualitative decrease in the degree of acne scars according to Goodman and Baron with a Z value (-4.299) and P=<0.001 lower than the control (PRP) with a significant difference. The quantitative decrease in the degree of acne scars according to Goodman and Baron obtained a Z value (-4.681) and P=<0.001 lower than the control (PRP) with a significant difference. Quantitative reduction in the degree of acne scars according to Goodman and Baron on single therapy between treatment and control with a value of Z (-3.536) and P=<0.001 lower than control (fractional CO2) with a significant difference. The results of the degree of acne scars in the group treated with microneedling alone or in combination were lower than the control group. The mean before and after therapy compared to the control there was a significant difference. Conclusion. The results of a systematic review, concluded that the group treated with microneedling had a decrease in the degree of acne scarring according to Goodman and Baron with P=<0.001 compared to before treatment. The decrease was shown in the difference in Z values, which was significantly greater than the control given other therapies. Microneedling therapy can be an alternative therapy option for acne scar patients who are unresponsive to previous therapy or in conditions where there are contraindications to other therapies.

This researchpaper includes the incorporation of Alliin at various energy levels and angles With Metformin using Gaussian 09 and Gaussian view 06. Two computers were used in this work. Samples were generated to draw, integrate, simulate and measure the value of the potential energy surface by means of which the lowest energy value was (-1227.408au). The best correlation compound was achieved between Alliin and Metformin through the low energy values where the best place for metformin to bind was through (CH2-). This is considered to be very useful for the industrial application of drugs. This level of calculation was used for physical and quantum properties such as total energy, HOMO and LUMO orbitals energies, and power gap. Besides, the calculation of FT-IR spectra in the range 400-4000 cm-1 was calculated in addition to the essential vibrational frequencies and the intensity of the vibrational bands. Moreover, the chemical displacement of the 1H and 13C NMR of the compound in the ground state was studied.
