Published: December 2021

Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) as been used as traditional medicine for many years and they possess antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. Clove is known for its anticancer property on various cancer cell lines and is well established, but its anticancer effect on OSCC cell lines is less known.  Aim of the study was to determine the anticancer and antioxidant effect of Syzygium aromaticum extract on OSCC cell lines (KB cell lines) and compare the same with normal mouse fibroblasts cell lines (L292 cell lines). KB cell lines and L292 cell lines were commercially obtained.  Clove was obtained from local market and ethanolic extract (EC) of clove was prepared. Anticancer activity was assessed by MTT, neutral red, DAPI and Double staining assay and antioxidant assay was carried out by FRAP, PM and DPPH assay. The antioxidant property of EC of clove increased with increase in the concentration in a dose dependent manner. Both MTT and Neutral Red assay showed increase in cell death with increase in concentration of EC of clove. Double staining and DAPI showed increase in cell death when treated with EC of clove. The anticancer and antioxidant activity of EC of clove was comparable with standard drug used in the assay. This in vitro study demonstrates effective anticancer and antioxidant activity on KB cell lines when compared to standard control. However, further studies are to be conducted in order to characterize other potential antitumor components of the clove, so that it can be used as therapeutic agent in treating oral carcinoma.

In Ayurvedic texts, Jayapala or croton tiglium seeds are well known as khumbini for its toxicity (severe purgative action) and are used for the treatment of constipation after shodhana (detoxification) of the seed with godugdha (cow milk). The oil content of the seeds was responsible for the purgative property, and its reduction enhances its medicinal usage. The presence of Crotonoside or iso-guanosine in seed extract was identified in HPTLC and quantified using high pressure liquid chromatography technique both before and after the purification process of the seed. The phytochemicals and physicochemical parameters of seeds were analyzed to find the level of changes in the processed seeds. The other chemical constituents of the seed extracts are studied using different techniques like HPTLC, HPLC, LC-MS, and GC-MS. The study has revealed that the detoxification process, as per classical texts, has shown an effective depletion in the quantity of crotonoside in processed seeds.

A SOUNDNESS ANALYSIS OF ZENO’S OF ELEA DICHOTOMY
Authors: Berestov Igor
Published: December 2021

We are studying three basic interpretations of the Dichotomy aporia, in which Zeno tries to prove the impossibility of movement. In all these interpretations, the key assumption is the dubious statement about the impossibility of performing an infinite sequence of actions in a finite time. However, we show that in the two interpretations of the Dichotomy it is possible to get rid of the dubious key assumption, replacing it with the seemingly much more reliable assumption that covering the distance is representable as a sequence of displacements. Our approach is based on the thesis proved by P. Benacerraf that completing an infinite sequence of movements in an interpretation of the Dichotomy is not sufficient to arrive to the end of the distance.
ON EDGINGTON’S FORMALIZATION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF KNOWABILITY
Authors: Borisov Evgeny
Published: December 2021

The formalization of the principle of knowability suggested by Dorothy Edgington is examined. This formalization has been suggested as a solution to the Fitch problem. It is interesting in that it blocks the Fitch argument and, in informal reading, makes a clear and intuitively appealing sense. On the other hand, as is shown in the paper, the semantic theory behind this formalization has two significant gaps: 1) it does not define the interpretation of actuality operator, and 2) it does not define the semantic way of representing the agent’s knowledge. The main outcome of the papers is critical. It is to the effect that unless those gaps are filled, Edgington’s theory cannot count as a solution to the Fitch problem.

V. S. NAIPAUL’S THE MYSTIC MASSEUR; THE PORTRAIT OF A TRICKSTER
Authors: YILDIZ Firat
Published: December 2021

Colonization is a long-term economic exploitation process with a wide range of consequences in many parts of the world. This process has influenced numerous literary works. Naipaul’s country of birth has been colonized for ages, which is why he produced outstanding works in this genre. The colonial process had a significant impact on subjugated society members' character development. In his works, Naipaul successfully shows this character structure. One of such characters is the main character of The Mystic Masseur. The novel's most notable feature is that Naipaul does not openly criticize this character, instead portrays him as a hero. This is not true heroism; there is a severe critique of the character structure that the society has developed. There are specific reasons why society has regressed, deteriorated, and deprived of a strong identity. This is primarily due to the colonization process. As a result, through the Ganesh character, Naipaul criticizes both society and the colonial forces that caused the society to fall into this state. The issue of a trickster character who has emerged as a result of the system and conditions will be examined in this article.
A laranjas e a pandemia: a poética da mistura nas aquarelas de Maria Esmênia
Authors: Souza Ana Maria Alves de
Published: December 2021

Neste ensaio, intentamos apresentar uma reflexão acerca da poética da “mistura”, (COCCIA, 2018), costurando a leitura de uma série de obras artísticas produzidas pela aquarelista Maria Esmênia, que foram postadas em sua página no Facebook durante o início da pandemia  em 2020, relegando-nos ao distanciamento físico e levando-nos a uma proximidade virtual. Nosso objetivo é problematizar aqui uma leitura que pretende ser estética e política ao mesmo tempo, ao abordar as formas e cores da passagem do tempo pandêmico na vida e na obra dessa artista. Vemos na série de pinturas/colagens/fotomontagens de laranjas realizadas por Maria Esmênia, e nas cores que se transformam (CRUZ, 2001), um detalhe (RANCIÈRE, 2009), um biografema (BARTHES, 2003), um instante-já (LISPECTOR, 1973), que contam a história.  Assim procedendo, procuramos fazer uma leitura de um fragmento de obra de uma artista com sua singularidade, mas também remetendo-nos a um coletivo, aos elos dessa poética com um comportamento social comum a outros artistas, cada um em seu momento de vida e singularidade, todos compartilhando em seus corpos as marcas do processo do tempo (GOLDEMBERG, 2013) que passa, misturando-se com a prática artística na vida cotidiana da cidade, num movimento estético urbano espalhado pelo mundo.
Winning the Digital War: Cyber Ideology and the Spectrum of Conflict
Authors: Flynn Matthew
Published: December 2021

Cyberspace allows ideology to dictate who wins a war. That technological medium has marginalized violence to such an extent that a belligerent must make a cognitive effort a priority. That focus means humanity has at last reached a coveted threshold where ideas determine a war’s outcome. This article traces that evolution along the “spectrum of conflict,” a military categorization encompassing all of war. This act of reductionism must confront cyber realities that alter an understanding of war as one driven by acts of violence. This feat means a digital peace finds an equal footing with war arising from a cyber ideological conflict. That conflict rests on cyber rebellions derived from an online interface contested in content but able to withstand the pull of government oversight. Stripped of violence as an absolute defining war, cognitive war becomes of paramount importance as a broad intellectualism compels a state of war. Ideology comes less from a meaning shaped by political context and more from online access impacting political norms. This contest in cyberspace means winning the digital war requires an open interface to pressure authoritarian regimes into reform, all the while allowing for much of this same friction that arises in states favoring democracy. Finding that balance arrests the endless process of war as the chief means of human interaction.

Esta pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa teve como finalidade investigar se os objetivos e metas presentes no projeto político pedagógico de uma escola de anos iniciais da rede pública do Recife refletem uma concepção de gestão democrática. Este estudo está fundamentado, sobretudo, em Veiga (1998, 2004, 2009), Paro (2007, 2010), Vasconcellos (2014) e Ficagna (2009). A Análise do PPP permitiu chegar à conclusão de que a escola vislumbra ser um espaço de diálogo e participação popular, por meio da implementação de uma gestão democrática, mas necessita rever suas propostas de ação para que obtenha êxito nesse processo e na oferta de um ensino de qualidade.
MECANISMOS DE DEFESA DO EGO
Authors: Maidana Dionísio Fleitas
Published: December 2021

O conceito de defesa está incorporado na primeira afirmação analítica significativa de Freud (1894) ao afirmar que a neurose implica numa defesa contra ideias insuportáveis. As questões relativas ao porquê são de todo necessários os mecanismos de defesa e que função eles desempenham na economia psíquica geral pertencem ao que pode ser chamado de metapsicologia da defesa. A existência humana parece envolver, inevitavelmente, algum conflito interior. Quando Anna Freud escreveu sua obra, O Ego e os Mecanismos de Defesa, ela relacionou nove deles e acrescentou alguns próprios, tais como a identificação com o agressor e a negação na fantasia e na realidade. A lista mais longa foi traçada por Bibring e colaboradores no Instituto Psicanalítico de Boston, em conexão com um estudo de mulheres grávidas. Eles dividiram as defesas em básicas, ou de primeira ordem, e complexas, ou de segunda ordem. Terminaram com não menos do que 39 defesas, das quais 24 de primeira ordem e 15 de segunda ordem. A literatura posterior a Freud deu ênfase aos mecanismos de defesa mais destacados nas condições psicótica e fronteiriça, tais como: regressão, negação, clivagem e atuação. A lista oficial de mecanismos de defesa de maneira alguma esgota as formas pelas quais os seres humanos podem lidar com o conflito. Assim, mecanismos de defesa do ego são todas as operações utilizadas por ele para controlar, dominar, canalizar e empregar forças que ameaçam sua integridade e sobrevivência, ou que possam conduzir à neurose, provenientes do id, do superego e do mundo externo.
A DIVERSIDADE E A FILOSOFIA NUM OLHAR AFROBRASILEIRO
Authors: Maria dos Santos de Souza Edicélia
Published: December 2021

O exercício de ensinar através da filosofia, é uma prática muito presente nas atividades diárias dos professores, porque a palavra filosofia significa segundo o filósofo grego Pitágoras;” amor pela sabedoria experimentado apenas pelo ser humano consciente de sua própria ignorância.” Os professores já trabalham com apoio da filosofia inconscientemente em seu dia a dia. Todas as atividades da escola referenciam a busca do pensamento das docentes e para isso necessitamos, pensar e filosofar. ”Filosofia é a mais branca dentre todas as áreas no campo das Humanidades.” Esta é uma fala frasal segundo Charles W. Mills (1999, p.13)”. E o que esta frase no informa é o que nos provoca acerca do que está escrito nesta frase. Existem raras discussões a respeito das relações étnico raciais, envolvendo as questões do racismo antinegro e da falta de visibilidade da filosofia africana.Nestas informações claro que existem raras exceções, como as considerações da filósofa estadunidense Sandra Harding que apresenta uma crítica sobre a” epistemologia masculina”,Cornel West, nos faz refletir a questão da condição social de negros e negras nos Estados Unidos da América, que versa sobre os estereótipos e os estigmas do racismo, Angela Davis, grande filósofa americana discute sobre duas questões.
אמת ou αληθεια? JESUS COMO A ENCARNAÇÃO DA VERDADE NA HISTÓRIA E O FIM DO RELATIVISMO MORAL
Authors: Lopes Fernando dos Santos
Published: December 2021

A tese de que não existe verdade moral absoluta é contestada por meio da distinção entre Emet, Veritas e Aletheia. O não conhecimento do significado de cada um desses conceitos, aliado à criação ao longo da história de um quartum genus a partir dos mesmos, deu causa a uma crise no pensamento moderno, de onde emerge a tese do relativismo moral. A existência dos chamados conflitos de deveres, a exemplo do dever entre mentir e salvar a vida de um inocente, que foi discutido, por exemplo, por Immanuel Kant e Benjamin Constant, reforça a tese relativista de que em alguns casos mentir é correto. Contudo, a descrição de Jesus Cristo contida no evangelho de João como sendo a encarnação da verdade na história, põe fim à possibilidade de existência epistemológica do relativismo moral, na medida em que ao concretizar o conceito de Emet em sua pessoa, Cristo demonstra que a verdade jamais entra em contradição com a justiça.
Artificial intelligence based solar/diesel hybrid water pumping system

Published: December 2021

Solar energy powered systems are increasingly being implemented in different areas due to the advances in solar energy technologies. Some of the major areas for solar energy applications include solar water heating, solar electric power generation, and solar water pumping. Solar water pumping has become the most adopted solar energy technology in the last decade. It has been considered as an attractive way to provide water in remote areas. A major advantage of using solar water pumps is that they are naturally matched with solar irradiation since usually water demand is high in summer when solar irradiation has its maximum values. However, solar energy powered systems are weather dependent. In most cases, a solar energy source has to be combined with another energy source to form a hybrid system to overcome the demerits of using solar alone. This thesis provides the detailed design, modelling and analysis of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based solar/diesel hybrid water pumping system. This research aims to develop an optimization model that uses AI techniques to maximize the solar energy output and manage the energy flow within the solar/diesel hybrid water pumping. Thus, the proposed system is composed of solar photovoltaic modules, battery bank, Variable Speed Diesel Generator (VSDG), Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) based Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controllers and an Energy Management Controller (EMC). The EMC, which is based on Fuzzy Logic (FL), is responsible for managing the flow of energy throughout the hybrid system to ensure an undisturbed power supply to the water pump. The PV array, battery bank, VSDG are all sized to power a 5Hp DC water pump and the ANFIS based MPPT controllers are proposed for improving the efficiency of PV modules. The modelling of the system components is performed in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. For evaluation of the proposed system, several case scenarios were considered and simulated in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The simulation results revealed the effectiveness of the proposed ANFIS based MPPT controllers since the controllers were able to extract maximum available power from PV modules for both steady-state and varying weather conditions. The proposed EMC demonstrated the successful management and control of the energy flow within the hybrid system with less dependency on the VSDG. The EMC was also able to regulate the charging and discharging of the battery bank.

Human Epidermal Receptor-2 (HER-2) overexpression is implicated in breast cancer progression; thus, HER-2 is widely used as the target of anticancer therapy. Lapatinib is a drug widely used to inhibit the HER-2 receptor and tyrosine kinase; however, it develops drug resistance. Lutein is promising to be developed as breast cancer therapy. This study aims to determine the mechanism of inhibition of HER-2 receptor overexpression by lutein in silico. Molecular docking was carried out by optimizing the lutein and lapatinib, preparing of protein target HER-2 (PDB ID 3PP0), validating of molecular docking protocol, and docking of lutein and lapatinib on HER-2. The study resulted in the binding energy of -12.37 kcal/mol, while the binding energy of the native ligand and lapatinib to HER-2 was -10.43 kcal/mol and -12.25 kcal/mol, respectively. The binding energy showed that lutein has potential as breast anticancer suggested from the stronger affinity to HER2.

Sediment-related disasters are terrible disasters that can catastrophically impact facilities. People must keep in mind to make sediment-related disaster information that can be predicted from rainfall and response of drainage area by using snakelike. This research produces important indices on precipitation related to debris. It shows the current status of the stage of the response of drainage area against rainfall by using a couple of short- and long-term indices. It shows the water storage volume in the soil layer with the calculation of soil water index (SWI) by using X-band MP (Multi-Parameter) rainfall radar data that has been installed at the top of Merapi Mountain (Merapi Museum). It was confirmed that from June 2018 – June 2019, with 80.28 mm SWI, maximum values do not exceed the standard reference value of SWI (120 – 160 mm) set from JMA. It means that 80.28 mm of SWI value has not yet become the maximum limit of SWI value for lahar occurrence in the Boyong drainage area (BO-D5). The maximum limit of SWI value can be generated if sediment disaster occurrences are available.
