Objective:

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may have psychological impacts on patients with mental disorders and their caregivers. In this study, we intended to explore whether female, previous trauma, lack of social support, additional life stress, and nonpsychotic symptoms, can predict to develop probable posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during COVID-19 pandemic among outpatients with psychiatric disorders and their caregivers.

Methods:

In this cross-sectional study, we recruited outpatients with psychiatric disorders and their caregivers and collected their sociodemographic variables and levels of PTSD-related symptoms with a copy of self-reported questionnaire. Potential predictors associated with the levels of probable PTSD were identified using simple linear regression analyses. We used logistical regression analysis and multiple linear regression analyses to identify those variables for the independent predictors. Due to the nonnormality of distribution, we used simple and logistic linear regression analyses with 1,000 bootstrap samples to verify the results.

Results:

We analyzed the study data of 145 participants. Logistic regression analysis showed that activity (odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval (CI)] = 1.409 [0.178–3.711], p < 0.01) and panic symptoms (OR [95% CI] = 20.778 [18.509–23.638], p < 0.01) were significant predictors of developing probable PTSD. Multiple regression analyses showed that individuals with higher education (β = 0.210, p < 0.05) and stressor (β = 0.233, p < 0.05) were significantly associated with higher level of probable PTSD symptoms in the nonprobable PTSD group. Individuals with more chronic physical illness (β = 0.512, p < 0.05) were associated with significantly higher level of probable PTSD symptoms.

Conclusion:

In the current study, we identified that activity, panic symptoms, high education, stressors, and more chronic physical illness were predictors either in developing probable PTSD or severe probable PTSD symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further studies are warranted to extend the application and generalizability of our study results.

Authors: Lydia Adeleke M. , Adewale Fagbenro O.
Published: May 2021

This study examined gender participation in fisheries and sustainable livelihood in the coastal areas of Ondo State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was used to select the respondents and the study area. Data were collected from 100 fisher folks from Ilaje and Ese-Odo Local Government Areas (LGAs), using a well-structured questionnaire and interview schedule. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Kruskal Wallis test (KWt) was used to determine the level of livelihood diversification among the fisher folks. The most prominent roles of men in the study area are fishing both offshore and inshore (66%), boat owners (61%), and gear preparation (56%). On the other hand, the participation of women in fisheries is mostly sorting of fish caught (81%), salting for processing (79%), washing of fish and fishing gears (69%), and smoking (66%). Women also dominate fish distribution and marketing activities which include transporting of fish from home to the market place, display and bargaining. The result of the Kruskal Wallis test (KWt) revealed that the main occupation of the different groups is fishing, where the married class was the most predominant group. For gender, fishing remains the most engaged main occupation with more male than female at 0.01 level of significance.

Tetrazole exerts anti-hepatitis effect in mice via activation of PI3K/Akt pathway, inhibition of cell autophagy and suppression of inflammatory cytokine expressions
Authors: Chen Bin , Yang Junshan
Published: May 2021

Purpose: To investigate the effect of tetrazole on concanavalin A (Con A)-induced hepatitis in mice, and the underlying mechanism(s).

Methods: Thirty 5-week-old, male BALB/c mice (mean weight, 30.5 ± 1.04 g) were used for this study. They were randomly assigned to six groups of five mice each: control group, hepatitis group and four treatment groups. With the exception of control group, hepatitis was induced in all mice with Con A (20 mg/kg) via their tail veins. The treatment groups received varied doses of tetrazole (1.0 - 6.0 mg/kg) within 1 h after hepatitis induction, while mice in the control group received an equivalent volume of normal saline in place of tetrazole. Serum activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were determined while expressions of interleukin-2 (IL-2), tumor necrosis factor ߙ) TNF-ߙ ,(and interferon gamma (IFN-ߛ (were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Expressions of protein kinase B (Akt), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), nuclear transcription factor- ߢB (NF-ߢB), and autophagy-related genes were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting.

Results: Con A-induced hepatitis significantly increased the activities of serum ALT and AST in the mice. However, after treatment with tetrazole, the activities of these enzymes were significantly and dose-dependently reduced in the treatment groups, relative to hepatitis group (p < 0.05). The levels of IL-2, IFN-ߛ and TNF-ߙ were significantly increased in hepatitis group when compared with the control group (p < 0.05). However, treatment with tetrazole significantly inhibited the expressions of these parameters. There were no significant differences in the levels of expressions of Akt mRNAs among the treatment groups (p > 0.05). The levels of expressions of LC3II and Beclin 1 were also significantly upregulated in hepatitis group, when compared with control group (p < 0.05). However, expression levels of LC3II and Beclin 1 were significantly and dose-dependently reduced by tetrazole treatment

Conclusion: Tetrazole is effective in the treatment of hepatitis via mechanisms involving the activation of PI3K/Akt pathway, inhibition of cell autophagy and suppression of inflammatory cytokines expressions.

Purpose: To investigate the antidepressant effect of methanol extract of smokeless tobacco and identify its bioactive compounds.

Methods: Adult Wistar rats were randomly assigned to five groups of five rats each: normal control group, standard (reference) control group as well as 100, 200 and 500 mg/kg extract group. The extract, standard drug (imipramine) and normal saline were administered via the intraperitoneal (i.p.) route. The rats were subjected to forced swim test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) to assess the antidepressant effect of methanol extract of smokeless tobacco. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to identify the bioactive compounds of the extract.

Results: The oral LD50 of the extract was > 2000 mg/kg. Significant decrease in immobility time was observed after single administration of imipramine (p < 0.05). The extract significantly and dosedependently decreased the immobility time, but increased climbing and swimming times, when compared with normal control group (p < 0.05). The immobility time of stressed rats regardless of sex was significantly and dose-dependently lowered, relative to normal control group (p < 0.05). Four major compounds were identified in the extract: nicotine (45.88 %); 1,5-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidinone (23.00 %), nhexadecanoic acid (11.31 %) and vitamin A aldehyde (9.38 %).

Conclusion: These results demonstrate that the methanol extract of smokeless tobacco possesses antidepressant and mood-elevating effects in rats. However, its use should be discouraged since it contains a number of hazardous and carcinogenic components such as N-nitroso compounds and benzo(a)pyrene which are categorized as Class-I carcinogens.
Selfies in the public art gallery and copyright permissions
Authors: Barrett Jonathan
Published: May 2021

Public art galleries have traditionally prohibited visitors from photographing exhibited artworks. Today, however, photography in the gallery is invariably permitted and commonly encouraged, including visitors taking selfies. Copyright law and practice has generally responded to new techniques of reproduction, such as etchings and photographs, and how those technologies are used in commerce and general society. The selfie is a cultural phenomenon that invites re-examination of some areas of copyright law and practice, notably, permitted acts. Has copyright law, in particular freedom of panorama, kept pace with the phenomenon of selfies in the gallery? This article seeks to answer that question and also considers whether the photography policies of leading public galleries present better ways of engaging with the selfie phenomenon than does the current law.

On a theorem of Erdos and Szemeredi
Authors: Narlikar Mangala J
Published: May 2021

K. F. Roth proved in 1957 that if $1 = q_1 < q_2 <q_3\ldots$ is the sequence of square-free integers, then $q_{n+1} - q_n = O(n^{\frac{3}{13}}(\log n)^{\frac{4}{13}})$. P. Erd\"os set the problem in more general conditions. If $2 \leq b_1 < b_2 < b_3\ldots$ is a sequence of mutually coprime integers, and $\sum\frac{1}{b_i} < \infty$, he proved that if $1 = q_1 < q_2 <q_3\ldots$ is the sequence of integers not divisible by any $b_i$, then
$$ q_{n+1} - q_n = O\left(q_n^{\theta}\right),$$
where $0<\theta<1.$ C. Szemeredi made an important progress and proved that if $Q(x)=\sum_{q_i\leq x} 1$, then $Q(x+h)-Q(x) >\!\!> h,$ where $h \geq x^{\theta}.$

Refining some of Szemeredi's ideas, it is proved in this paper that
%if 0 < < 1, and $\sum\frac{1}{b_i}<\infty$, then
$$Q(x+h) - Q(x) >\!\!> h,$$
where $x\geq h \geq x^{\theta}$ and $\theta >\frac{1}{2}$ is any constant.
%In the later part, using the ideas of Jutila, Brun and I. M. Vinogradov, a stronger version (Theorem 2) is proved.

Let $K (>1)$ and $k (>1)$ be given integers. In this paper we prove that $e_K(q)\equiv0 \mod k^{[m]}$ for infinitely many primes $q$, where $m=c_k\log\log q$ for a certain $c_k>0$ and $e_K(q)$ denotes the exponent of $K$ modulo $q$. In particular, $q\equiv1 \mod k$ for infinitely many primes $q$.
A remark on $\zeta(1+it).$

Let $T\geq1000$ and $X = \exp(\log\log T/\log\log\log T)$. Consider any set $O$ of disjoint open intervals $I$ of length $1/X$, contained in the interval $T\leq t\leq T+e^X$. We prove in this paper, that $\vert\log\zeta(1+it)\vert\leq\varepsilon\log\log T$ in $O$ with the exception of $K$ intervals $I$, where $0<\varepsilon\leq1$ and $K$ depends only on $\varepsilon$.
Some local-convexity theorems for the zeta-function-like analytic functions
Authors: Balasubramanian R , Ramachandra K
Published: May 2021

In this paper we investigate lower bounds for $$I(\sigma)= \int^H_{-H}\vert f(\sigma+it_0+iv)\vert^kdv,$$ where $f(s)$ is analytic for $s=\sigma+it$ in $\mathcal{R}=\{a\leq\sigma\leq b, t_0-H\leq t\leq t_0+H\}$ with $\vert f(s)\vert\leq M$ for $s\in\mathcal{R}$. Our method rests on a convexity technique, involving averaging with the exponential function. We prove a general lower bound result for $I(\sigma)$ and give an application concerning the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$. We also use our methods to prove that large values of $\vert\zeta(s)\vert$ are ``rare'' in a certain sense.

On Riemann zeta-function and allied questions-II

In this paper, two conjectures on the mean value of Dirichlet polynomials are given and are shown to imply good lower bound for $\int_H^{T+H}\vert\zeta(\frac{1}{2}+it)^k\vert^2\,dt$, uniform in $k$ and independent of $T$.
Ramanujan's lattice point problem, prime number theory and other remarks.
Authors: Ramachandra K , Sankaranarayanan A , Srinivas K
Published: May 2021

This paper gives results on four diverse topics. The first result is that the error term for the number of integers $2^u3^v \le n$ is $O((\log n)^{1-\delta})$ with $\delta=(2^{40}(\log3))^{-1}$, using a theorem of A. Baker and G. W\"ustholz. The second result is an averaged explicit formula

\[
\psi(x) = x-\frac{1}{T} \int_{T}^{2T} \left( \sum \limits_{|\gamma| \le
\tau} \frac{x^{\rho}}{\rho} \right) \ d\tau
+ O \left( \frac{\log x}{\log \frac{x}{T}}\cdot \frac{x}{T} \right)
\]
for $x \gg T \gg 1$. It then follows, by the Riemann hypothesis, that $\psi (x+h)-\psi (x)= h+ O \left ( h \lambda^{1/2} \right )$ if $h=\lambda x^{1/2} \log x$. The third theme tightens the $\log$ powers in the zero density bounds of Ingham and Huxley, and gives corollaries for the mean-value of $\psi (x+h)-\psi (x)-h$. The fourth remark concerns a hypothetical improvement in the constant 2 in the Brun-Titchmarsh theorem, averaged over congruence classes, and its consequence for $L \left ( 1,\chi \right )$.
Disproof of some conjectures of K.Ramachandra
Authors: anderson johan
Published: May 2021

In a recent paper K. Ramachandra states some conjectures, and gives consequences in the theory of the Riemann zeta function. In this paper we will present two different disproofs of them. The first will be an elementary application of the Szasz-M\"unto theorem. The second will depend on a version of the Voronin universality theorem, and is also slightly stronger in the sense that it disproves a weaker conjecture. An elementary (but more complicated) disproof has been given by Rusza-Lazkovich.
Notes on the Riemann zeta-function-IV
Authors: Balasubramanian R , Ramachandra K , Sankaranarayanan A , Srinivas K
Published: May 2021

In earlier papers of this series III and IV, poles of certain meromorphic functions involving Riemann's zeta-function at shifted arguments and Dirichlet polynomials were studied. The functions in question were quotients of products of such functions, and it was shown that they have ``many'' poles. The main result in the present paper is that the same conclusion remains valid even for finite sums of functions of this type.
Some diophantine problems concerning equal sums of integers and their cubes
Authors: Choudhry Ajai
Published: May 2021

This paper gives a complete four-parameter solution of the simultaneous diophantine equations $x+y+z=u+v+w, x^3+y^3+z^3=u^3+v^3+w^3,$ in terms of quadratic polynomials in which each parameter occurs only in the first degree. This solution is much simpler than the complete solutions of these equations published earlier. This simple solution is used to obtain solutions of several related diophantine problems. For instance, the paper gives a parametric solution of the arbitrarily long simultaneous diophantine chains of the type $x^k_1+y^k_1+z^k_1=x^k_2+y^k_2+z^k_2=\ldots=x^k_n+y^k_n+z^k_n=\ldots,~~k=1,3.$ Further, the complete ideal symmetric solution of the Tarry-Escott problem of degree $4$ is obtained, and it is also shown that any arbitrarily given integer can be expressed as the sum of four distinct nonzero integers such that the sum of the cubes of these four integers is equal to the cube of the given integer.
On the Riesz means of $\frac{n}{\phi(n)}$
Authors: Sankaranarayanan A , Singh Saurabh Kumar
Published: May 2021

Let $\phi(n)$ denote the Euler-totient function. We study the error term of
the general $k$-th Riesz mean of the arithmetical function
$\frac {n}{\phi(n)}$ for any positive integer $k \ge 1$, namely the error
term $E_k(x)$ where

\[
\frac{1}{k!}\sum_{n \leq x}\frac{n}{\phi(n)} \left( 1-\frac{n}{x} \right)^k
= M_k(x) + E_k(x).
\]
The upper bound for $\left | E_k(x) \right |$ established here thus improves the earlier known upper bound when $k=1$.

Let k ≥ 1 be an integer. Let δ k (n) denote the maximum divisor of n which is co-prime to k. We study the error term of the general m-th Riesz mean of the arithmetical function δ k (n) for any positive integer m ≥ 1, namely the error term E m,k (x) where 1 m! n≤x δ k (n) 1 − n x m = M m,k (x) + E m,k (x). We establish a non-trivial upper bound for E m,k (x) , for any integer m ≥ 1.

We consider the k-higher Mahler measure $m_k (P) $ of a Laurent polynomial $P$ as the integral of ${\log}^k |P | $ over the complex unit circle and zeta Mahler measure as the generating function of the sequence ${m_k (P)}$. In this paper we derive a few properties of the zeta Mahler measure of the polynomial $P_n (z) := (z^N − 1)/(z − 1) $ and propose a conjecture.

Published: May 2021

Background: Escherichia coliresistance to ceftriaxone in UTIs is an emerging health problem.Our objectives were to determine prevalence, distribution and determinants of E. coliresistance to ceftriaxone in adult indoor UTI population of District Peshawar, Pakistan.

Materials & Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted in Department of Medicine, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan from 1st January 2017 to 30th June 2017. 380 UTIs cases were selected from population at riskconsecutively.Sex and age groups were demographic, while presence of E. coli resistance to ceftriaxone was research variable. All variables were nominal.Prevalenceand distribution were analyzed by count, percentage and confidence intervals for proportion for population. Hypotheses for distribution were substantiated by chi-square goodness-of-fit and of association by chi-square test of association.

Results: Out of 380 patients with UTI, 136 (35.80%) were men,244(64.20%) women, 262 (68.95%) in age group 18-45 years and 118 (31.05%) in age group 46-65 years. Frequency/ prevalence of E. coli resistance was 287/380 (75.53%, 95%CI 71.20-79.85). Out of 287 patients with E. coli resistance to ceftriaxone, 101 (26.58%) were men and 186 (48.95%) women, 198 (52.11%) in age group 18-45 years and 89 (23.42%) in age group 46-65 years. Our prevalence of E. coli resistance to ceftriaxone was higher than expected (p<.00001), our distribution by sex(p<.00125) and age groups (p<.00001) were different than expected. Presence of E. coli resistance to ceftriaxone was not associated to sex (p=.669333) and age groups (p=.975097).

Conclusion:Prevalence of E. coli resistance to ceftriaxone in adult UTI population of District Peshawar, Pakistan was alarmingly high 75.53%. Prevalence was more in women than men and more in younger age group (18-45 years) than older age group (46-60 years) population.Overall prevalence of E. coli resistance to ceftriaxone was higher than expected. Distribution by sex showed higher prevalence than expected in men and lower than expected in women, and higher than expected in younger age group and lower than expected in older age group. Presence of E. coli resistance to ceftriaxone was not associated to sex and age groups respectively in adult UTI population of District Peshawar, Pakistan.

Amaç: Öğretmenlerin yaşam amacı ve anlamı düzeyleri ile iyi oluşları arasındaki ilişkide özduyarlık değişkeni alt boyutlarının (özsevecenlik, özyargılama, paylaşımların bilincinde olma, izolasyon, bilinçlilik ve aşırı özdeşleşme) aracı rolünün incelenmesidir.

Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini, çok aşamalı örnekleme tekniği ile belirlenmiş olan 138’i (%30,8) kadın, 287’si (%69,2) erkek toplam 415 ortaokul ve lise kademesinde çalışan öğretmenden oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcılara veri toplamak için Yaşamın Anlam ve Amacı Ölçeği (PPMI), Beş Boyutlu İyi Oluş Modeli Ölçeği (PERMA), Özduyarlık Ölçeği (Self-Compassion Scale) ve sosyodemografik veri formu uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan istatistiksel veriler; Pearson Momentler Çarpımı Korelasyonu, Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli (YEM) ve Bootstrapping analizleridir.

Bulgular: Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre; öğretmenlerin yaşamda anlam ve amaç ile iyi oluş düzeylerinin anlamlı bir şekilde ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yapısal eşitlik modeline göre yaşamda anlam ve amaç ile iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkide özduyarlık değişkeninin kısmi aracı rolü bulgulanmıştır. Modele göre; kişilerin yaşamda anlam ve amaç düzeylerinin yüksek oluşu özsevecenliği arttırmakta, özduyarlığın alt boyutu olan özsevecenliğin farklılaşması da iyi oluşu arttırmaktadır. Yaşamda anlam ve amaç ile izolasyon arasında negatif yönlü ilişki bulunmakta ve iyi oluşu da negatif yönde yordamaktadır.

Özgünlük: Yaşamda anlam ve amaç ile iyi oluş ilişkisinde özduyarlığın aracı rolü araştırmasının sonucu olarak, kişilerin yaşamlarındaki anlam ve amaç düzeyinin artması ile psikolojik iyi oluşun arttığı ve bu ilişkide özduyarlığın kısmi aracı rolü olduğu belirlenmiştir.

A Comparative Study of de Certeau and Fiske: Based on the Concepts of “Tactics and Strategies”
Authors: KARAKUŞ Hüseyin
Published: May 2021

This paper will particularly deal with the practices of cultural consumption based on de Certeau’s most notable two concepts: “strategy” and “tactics”. Though acknowledging that “consumption is never a passive enterprise”, as emphasized by De Certeau in the Practice of Everyday Life; this study will try to oppose to some idealized conception of the everyday consumption;principally focusing on the ideas of John Fiske, in Understanding Popular Culture and Reading the Popular, as one of “the most enthusiastic supporters” of de Certeau, and will try to challenge to the wide-known perception of him “as a theorist of the little victories” by suggesting that “the tactics that de Certeau makes mention arenot libratory in the material sense of the word as they do no more than disrupt the fatality of the established order” (Buchanan, 2000: 99). Moreover it is important to note that though de Certeau and Fiske tend to be evaluated within the same “empowerment discourse” in the study of popular culture, what seems to have been underestimated is the very fact that de Certeau’s theory of “resistance” differs from the one that is greatly employed by Fiske in the sense that de Certeau’s interest is in “subtle movements of escape and evasion” (Buchanan, 2000: 94).

Assim, espera-se que por meio da presente pesquisa se possa perceber os reais entraves que impossibilitam o desenvolvimento harmônico da Educação de Jovens e Adultos, a obtenção de dados que fomentem os obstáculos enfrentados pelos alunos dessa modalidade e evidenciar a relevância do papel do professor como forma de levar o aluno ao êxito escolar.
Understanding Radicalists and Fundamentalist Islamic Groups in Indonesia: Ideology and Model of Movement
Authors: Faiq Muhammad
Published: May 2021

Abstract: Since the Reformation Era, various Islamic organizations or groups have emerged in Indonesia with different ideologies and movement models, such as Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), the Indonesian Mujahidin Council (MMI), the Indonesian Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), and Jemaah Islamiyah. Most Indonesian Muslims do not warmly welcome their presence as the spirit of their struggle is not appropriate with the character and culture of the Indonesian people. They often use violence and even terror in struggling for Islam with the reason of amr ma’ruf nahi munkar (enjoining good and forbidding evil). So it is not surprising that the government recently dissolved the HTI and FPI. By using a qualitative approach, this study aims to uncover their ideology and movement model and the ideologies that influence them. From the data obtained from various related literature such as textbooks, journals, and the web, this study finds that these Islamic groups are ideologically influenced by trans-national Islamic groups with fundamentalism and even radicalism characters. They disagree with the Indonesian government system, which is considered secular and incompatible with Islamic values. They often use violence and terror to enforce Islamic shari'ah and even change the NKRI system with the system of Khilafat Islamiyah (Islamic caliphate).

Keywords: Radicalist, fundamentalist, Islamic caliphate, shari'ah.

 Abstrak: Sejak Era Reformasi, berbagai ormas atau kelompok Islam bermunculan di Indonesia dengan ideologi dan model gerakan yang berbeda, seperti Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia (MMI), Ikhwanul Muslimin Indonesia, Front Pembela Islam (FPI),  dan Jemaah Islamiyah. Sebagian besar umat Islam Indonesia tidak menyambut baik kehadiran mereka karena semangat perjuangan mereka tidak sesuai dengan karakter dan budaya masyarakat Indonesia. Mereka sering menggunakan kekerasan bahkan teror dalam memperjuangkan Islam dengan dalih amr ma'ruf nahi munkar. Maka tidak heran jika belakangan ini organisasi tersebut, khususnya HTI dan FPI, dibubarkan oleh pemerintah. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap ideologi dan model gerakan mereka serta ideologi yang mempengaruhinya. Dari data yang diperoleh dari berbagai literatur terkait seperti buku teks, jurnal, dan web, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa kelompok-kelompok Islam tersebut secara ideologis dipengaruhi oleh kelompok-kelompok Islam transnasional dengan karakter fundamentalisme bahkan radikalisme. Mereka tidak setuju dengan sistem pemerintahan Indonesia yang dianggap sekuler dan bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai Islam. Mereka kerap menggunakan kekerasan dan teror untuk menegakkan syari'at Islam bahkan mengubah bentuk NKRI (Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia) dengan sistem Khilafah Islamiyah.

Kata kunci: Radikalisme, fundamentalisme, khilafah Islamiyah, syari'at Islam.

Published: May 2021

Adverse effects of obesity are well known on respiratory functions. These effects can be due to change in respiratory mechanics, decrease in respiratory muscle effectiveness, decrease in pulmonary gas exchange and restriction in pulmonary functions. Obesity may cause decrease in respiratory compliance due to mechanical factors such as increased weight on thoracic cage and abdomen due to presence of adipose tissues. Severe obesity may be a cause of pulmonary thromboembolism, obstructive sleep apnoea, obesity, hypoventilation syndrome and respiratory failure which are associated with substantial morbidity and increased mortality. Body Mass index (BMI) provides the most useful population level measure of overweight and obesity as it is same for both the genders and for all ages of individuals. Though, it should be considered as a vague guide because it may not correspond to the same degree of corpulence in the individuals of different age group. The present study was undertaken in department of Physiology in Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College, Jabalpur MP. The subjects comprised of both male and female 50 individuals came to Physiology department for Pulmonary function test from other departments of the college. Tools used in present study were chi sqaure, t-test etc.

Uso de plantas medicinais como alternativa para o tratamento das cefaleias
Authors: Silva Amanda Araújo da , Valença Marcelo Moraes
Published: May 2021

A Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) considera a cefaleia a doença neurológica mais comum, que pode gerar incapacidades diversas. Porém, as cefaleias em geral são subestimadas e subnotificadas, dificultando o conhecimento do impacto da doença no panorama da saúde pública. A International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) considera como tipos mais comuns de cefaleia a cefaleia do tipo tensional e enxaqueca, consideradas primárias. O tratamento das cefaleias percorre desde o modelo medicamentoso (biomédico) até os métodos tradicionais, com o uso de plantas medicinais. Desde 1980, o termo "Medicina Complementar" foi inserido a fim de compatibilizar os dois modelos. Segundo a Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa), plantas medicinais são as espécies vegetais que são naturais ou cultivadas com a finalidade terapêutica, uma alternativa mais viável de muitas comunidades de tratar e prevenir doenças, além de manter a saúde. O uso das plantas ganha força também como fonte de poderes espirituais e mágica. A utilização dessas plantas varia de acordo com o problema de saúde, porém, em todos os casos, há uma falsa crença que os medicamentos naturais não têm contraindicação, o que oferece sérios riscos aos adeptos. Crenças são ideias que se consolidam com o tempo, em que as pessoas consideram mais válidas do que a própria lógica, podendo ter o cunho tendencioso e emocional. O objetivo deste estudo foi visitar mercados populares na região do Grande Recife na procura de informação sobre o uso de plantas medicinais para o tratamento da cefaleia.

After almost a century of investigation on the architectural value of rural buildings in all its connections with landscape, the recovery approach has not overcome the phase of ethic imperative. The effective possibilities to rehabilitation existing structures are left to the project that, through its interdisciplinarity, should specify the modalities, from the technical point of view as well as from the environmental, social, and economic advantages one.This paper aims to re-inhabit the rural buildings closer to urban centers. The methodological approach is based on a bioclimatic project integrated with green building, which had been tested in a rural house of the seventeenth century: Masseria Nicotera to Marigliano, in the province of Naples. Indeed, the bioclimatic matrix of rural architecture has been recovered and reintroduced, after being improved by the passive system and integrated by natural material. The project has been supported also by the assessment of the economic benefit and the estimation contributions that are not good for themselves but constitutes the beginning of a database available at the national level for the recovery of rural architecture.
Evaluating the planning gain in the practices of local authorities [La misura dell’accordo. la valutazione delle contribuzioni straordinarie tra norme di legge e prassi degli enti locali]
Authors: Micelli Ezio , Valier Agostino
Published: May 2021

The public/private partnerships have been a successful innovation in the implementation of urban plans and they became an ordinary instrument in city planning and management. In the partnerships, agreements on zoning allow more advantageous planning rules. The corresponding economic gain is shared between the administration and the property. Research has devoted attention to the nature of the economic gain, investigating its nature and how it should be shared. Less effort has been devoted instead to understand how general norms have found application in the administrative action of public authorities. The research focuses on these aspects and investigates methodologies and techniques with which public administrations have evaluated public/private partnerships in cities development projects. The study identified Veneto Region as a privileged area of research. We examined the administrative acts approved by the municipalities with regard to the public/private partnerships allowed by Veneto planning law (LR 11/2004) and by decree 380/2001 derogatory building permits. Attention was paid to provincial capitals and, in order to have a representative sample of smaller towns, the survey considered all the municipalities of the Vicenza province. Conclusions of the research are controversial. The economic issue seems well managed: local administrations acquired the economic ratio of the agreements and the necessity of sharing the gain resulting from administrative decisions between public authorities and landlords. Local acts focus on valuation methodologies, in particular on automatic or quasi-automatic valuations, with debatable outcomes: the application of automatic procedures does not necessarily lead to quality results. Lastly, in territories substantially homogeneous, only a few kilometers away, levy rates can be very different, posing obvious and relevant problems of effectiveness and fairness.
Kasten Terk Edilen Bir Farz Namazın Kaza Edilebileceğine Delil Getirilen Bir Hadis ve Değerlendirmesi
Authors: KAHRAMAN Hüseyin
Published: May 2021

Bir Müslümanın uyku veya unutma sebebiyle vaktinde eda edemediği bir farz namazı daha sonra kaza edebileceği hatta bunun gerekliliği konusunda ulema arasında ittifak vardır. Nitekim Hz. Peygamber’in beyanına göre bu durumun başka bir kefareti yoktur. Bununla birlikte âlimler, bir kişinin kasten terk ettiği yani kılması gerektiğine inanma-sına rağmen tembellik ve başka işlerle meşguliyet gibi sebeplere binaen vaktinde eda etmediği namazları kaza edip etmeyeceği konusunda ihtilaf etmişlerdir. Bu ihtilaf bü-yük oranda, namazın terki ile iman arasında kurulan alakaya göre şekillenmiş görün-mektedir. Uyku ve unutmaya ilaveten kasten terkedilen namazların da kaza edilmesi gerektiğine inanan âlimlerin tamamı, bu görüşlerinin delili olarak belli bir hadise işaret etmektedir. Bu hadise göre Allah Rasûlü şöyle buyurmaktadır: “Biriniz uyku veya gaflet sebebiyle namazı terk ederse onu hatırladığı vakit kılsın. Zira Allah ‘namazı, beni hatır-lamak için kıl’ buyurur”. Makale, bu hadisin söz konusu görüşün delili olup olamayacağı konusuna yoğunlaşmaktadır. Bu bağlamda dinin diğer verilerinde namaza yapılan vur-gular ve özellikle de hangi durumlarda terki için kaza öngörüldüğüne işaret edilmekte, bu bilgilerle söz konusu hadisin uyumu araştırılmaktadır.
