Health Deficits and (the Absence of) Popular Mobilization in Brazil
Authors: Gupta Madhvi
Published: June 2022

The article explains why Brazil’s popular sectors made claims for health during the 1970s and why they did not do so during the 1990s. I argue that the intervention of “external actors”—better situated individuals and social groups—makes all the difference for popular mobilization. This is because they have the skills and resources to challenge dominant ideas, construct mobilization frames and inspire belief among the popular sectors that their actions can be successful. Health movements emerged in the mid-1970s with the intervention of doctors, medical students and the Catholic Church. During the 1990s, however, these external actors largely retreated from an activist role and took up more routine activities. Based on my research in Sapopemba (São Paulo), I argue that without the engagement of middle-class professionals and progressive Church officials, the popular sectors were caught in a “cognitive trap” so that they did not believe their actions would be successful.

A carnavalização do Nordeste no romance Sargento Getúlio, de João Ubaldo Ribeiro: revisando as identidades e desconstruindo estereótipos
Authors: Silva José Lindomar
Published: June 2022

Este trabalho é o resultado de um estudo feito com o romance Sargento Getúlio, de João Ubaldo Ribeiro. Apresenta-se como nosso objetivo geral analisar a construção da identidade nordestina, pela desconstrução de estereótipos, a partir da carnavalização e dos aspectos cômicos e paródicos presentes na obra. Os nossos estudos, referentes ao romance descrito, evidenciaram, de antemão, a desconstrução estereotipada do cangaceiro, das secas, bem como uma (re)valorização cultural do Nordeste, mediante a identificação de uma “nova” paisagem e da linguagem de um povo cuja identidade faz parte da diversidade social nacional. Assim, mostramos um Nordeste carnavalizado, no qual as mascaras da injustiça e das ideologias opressoras não encontram mais espaço.

Viagens e leituras japonesas em Rakushisha, de Adriana Lisboa
Authors: Vejmelka Marcel
Published: June 2022

Resumo: No romance Rakushisha (2007), Adriana Lisboa representa várias dimensões da experiência da alteridade. Os dois protagonistas brasileiros que viajam ao Japão – Haruki em busca de suas raízes culturais, Celina em busca dela mesma – refletem a estadia da própria autora em Quioto, experiência necessária para poder escrever o livro, como afirma ela. A viagem do protagonsitas ao Japão também funciona como guia para os leitores na descoberta e no diálogo com as obras dos poetas japoneses Matsuo Bashō (1644-1694) e Sei Shōnagon (966-1025) – particularmente o Saga Nikki e o Livro de cabeceira – assim como a experiência do Japão relatada por Roland Barthes em L’Empire des signes. Abstract: In her novel Rakushisha (2007), Adriana Lisboa reflects different dimensions of experiencing alterity. The two Brazilian protagonists travelling to Japan – Haruki in search of his cultural origins, Celina in search of herself – reflect the author’s own stay in Kyoto, which has been necessary, as she claims, to be able to write the book. The two protagonists’ trip to Japan also serves as a guide for the readers in the novel’s discovery of and dialogue with the works of the Japanese poets Matsuo Bashō (1644-1694) e Sei Shōnagon (966-1025) – namely the Saga Nikki and The Pillow Book – as well as the Japanese experience related by Roland Barthes in L’Empire des signes.
Deslocamentos urbanos na literatura brasileira contemporânea
Authors: Dalcastagnè Regina
Published: June 2022

Se toda narrativa é “um relato de viagem – uma prática do espaço”, como propunha Michel de Certeau, a intenção aqui é entender os sentidos possíveis dessa prática na literatura brasileira contemporânea, observando personagens que se constituem justamente a partir de seus deslocamentos pelo espaço urbano. A discussão acompanhará os percursos de personagens pobres, detendo-se sobre as especificidades de seus movimentos e os significados de seus relatos. Serão analisados os livros Guia afetivo da periferia, de Marcus Vinícius Faustini, Passageiro do fim do dia, de Rubens Figueiredo, Estação terminal, de Sacolinha, e A máquina de revelar destinos não cumpridos, de Vário do Andaraí
Seven Cold Cities: The Milonga of Vitor Ramil
Authors: McCann Bryan
Published: June 2022

This article analyzes popular composer Vitor Ramil's work in the musical genre of milonga. The article argues that the structural syncopation of the rhythmic cell in milonga brings leveza, or lightness, to the music, one of the qualities Ramil identifies as guiding principles in his "aesthetics of cold." The article places Ramil's exploration of milonga in the context of his long, varied and continuously evolving career.
A flight over histories: about indians and historians in Brazil and America
Authors: Dornelles Soraia Sales , Melo Karina Moreira Ribeiro da Silva e
Published: June 2022

Brazilian and North American historiography share many aspects when it comes to indigenous issues. In both cases, the histories of native groups changed the ways of producing knowledge about them, creating and transforming public policy. Games of complex influences guided the ways of dealing with the knowledge about inter-ethnic relations. In many cases, such knowledge served as a fulcrum for the survival of the implicated groups. Historiographical trajectories, here and there, are full of convergence, divergence, dynamism and political complexity. That said, the purpose of this article is to present a vision of the two parallel processes of construction of historical discourses about Indians and trace from there, agendas and possibilities of mutual contributions.
Utopia, Heterotopia, Dystopia – Water in Portuguese and Brazilian comics
Authors: Scholz Janek
Published: June 2022

The article tends to analyze several comics from the Portuguese-speaking world regarding the symbolic functions of water within the stories. Therefore, the text picks on the ideas of the Brazilian philosopher Vilém Flusser about mutual interference of nature and culture, combining it with the theory of Foucault’s heterotopias and Deleuze’s and Guattari’s ideas on smooth and striated spaces. The question on the different functions of water is raised, depending on its appearance as rain or ocean. Furthermore, it will be discussed whether a general approach to the topic is intelligible or if differences between Brazilian and European tendencies can be detected. To compare the results of the analysis with comic-stories from other countries, British and French comic-authors will be referred to, whenever necessary.
Water and the Struggle for Public Space: Social Negotiations in the Usage of Colonial Rio de Janeiro’s Waterworks
Authors: Poettering Jorun
Published: June 2022

The urban space of colonial Rio de Janeiro was to a large degree structured by a water supply system drawn from European models, including aqueducts, fountains, and a network of underground pipes. This infrastructure, however, worked hand in hand with innumerable slaves responsible for the distribution of water from the fountains to individual households. The article analyzes the continuous social negotiation between white elites and Afro-Brazilian slaves regarding the localization, construction, usage, and valorization of the water works and the spaces produced by them. While the elites possessed the power, means, and traditions to design the infrastructure in the first instance, the slaves gave life to it, defined their eventual application and appearance, and more than once caused the white elites modify the works. Thus, by studying the city’s water supply, the article brings to the forefront the slaves’ ability to actively participate in the configuration of the physical and cultural identity of a colonial city.
On the Complexity of Axiom Pinpointing in Description Logics
Authors:   Institut für Theoretische Informatik TU Dresden, Peñaloza Rafael , Sertkaya Barış ,   SAP Research Center Dresden
Published: June 2022

We investigate the computational complexity of axiom pinpointing in Description Logics, which is the task of finding minimal subsets of a knowledge base that have a given consequence. We consider the problems of enumerating such subsets with and without order, and show hardness results that already hold for the propositional Horn fragment, or for the Description Logic EL. We show complexity results for several other related decision and enumeration problems for these fragments that extend to more expressive logics. In particular we show that hardness of these problems depends not only on expressivity of the fragment but also on the shape of the axioms used.
SAT Encoding of Unification in ELHR+ w.r.t. Cycle-Restricted Ontologies
Authors: Baader Franz , Borgwardt Stefan , Morawska Barbara
Published: June 2022

Unification in Description Logics has been proposed as an inference service that can, for example, be used to detect redundancies in ontologies. For the Description Logic EL, which is used to define several large biomedical ontologies, unification is NP-complete. An NP unification algorithm for EL based on a translation into propositional satisfiability (SAT) has recently been presented. In this report, we extend this SAT encoding in two directions: on the one hand, we add general concept inclusion axioms, and on the other hand, we add role hierarchies (H) and transitive roles (R+). For the translation to be complete, however, the ontology needs to satisfy a certain cycle restriction. The SAT translation depends on a new rewriting-based characterization of subsumption w.r.t. ELHR+-ontologies.
Thermally Activated Tunneling in the Two-Water Bridge Catalyzed Tautomerization of Phosphinylidene Compounds
Authors: Nandi Ashim , Martin Gershom
Published: June 2022

Phosphinylidenes are an important class of organophosphorus compounds that can exhibit tautomerization between tricoordinated P(III) hydroxide (R1R2POH) and a pentacoordinated P(V) oxide (R1R2P(O)H) form. Herein we show, using the canonical variational transition state theory combined with multidimensional small-curvature tunneling approximation, the dominance of proton tunneling in the two-water-bridged tautomerizations of phosphinous acid and model phosphinylidenes comprising phosphosphinates, H-phosphonates, H-phosphinates and secondary phosphine oxides. Based on the studied system, the contribution of thermally activated tunneling is predicted to speed up the semiclassical reaction rate by ca. threefold to as large as two orders of magnitude at 298.15 K in the gas phase. The large KIE and the concavity in the Arrhenius plots are further fingerprints of tunneling. The simulations also predicted that the rapid tunneling rate and short half-life span for the forward reaction, as opposed to the reverse reaction in fluorinated secondary phosphine oxides, would result in P(V) being fleetingly stable and only P(III) being isolable, which agrees with previous experiments where only P(III) was detected by IR and NMR spectroscopy. We also explored the role of solvent and predicted tunneling to be substantial.
Fast-Track Computational Access to Reaction Mechanisms Provides Comprehensive Insights into Aminolysis Postpolymerization Modification Reactions
Authors: Matsubara Kiho , Chou Li-Chieh , Amii Hideki , Kakuchi Ryohei
Published: June 2022

With the aim of providing a computational guideline for activated ester–amine chemistry, a series of activated esters commonly used in polymer synthesis have been systematically analyzed at the DLPNO-CCSD(T) level of theory by taking advantage of the recently developed density functional theory-based semiempirical method GFN2-xTB. The fast-track computational analysis based on the GFN2-xTB and DLPNO-CCSD(T) methods can explain well the experimentally observed reactivity in aminolysis postpolymerization modification reactions. Moreover, transition state search calculations can be performed with realistic model structures consisting of more than a hundred atoms, offering a new approach for reaction profiling for large molecular systems without further approximations. The realistic reaction profiling allows a preliminary assessment and visualization of the polymer effect during the postpolymerization modification at the DLPNO-CCSD(T) level of theory. This study offers a computational compass for activated ester–amine chemistry for application in postpolymerization modification reactions.
A Mixed-Precision Implementation of the Density Matrix Renormalization Group
Authors: Tian Yingqi , Xie Zhaoxuan , Luo Zhen , Ma Haibo
Published: June 2022

Using the mixed precision strategy to optimize quantum chemistry codes has been proved promising in saving computational cost and maintaining chemical accuracy. Here, an efficient mixed-precision density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) scheme, containing a two-level mixed-precision hierarchy, is developed and demonstrated. At the coarse-grained level, based on the discovery that the single-precision orthogonalization may cause the DMRG generate a totally wrong answer, a feasible single-precision-sweep DMRG method with double-precision orthogonalization process is implemented. At the fine-grained level, a mixed-precision diagonalization algorithm is developed. This algorithm runs specific operations in the single-precision while preserving double-precision accuracy. Combining these two method, a hybrid mixed-precision scheme is presented. By applying this scheme, the DMRG single-point energy calculations are accelerated up to 131%. Mixed-precision DMRG yielded energies are accurate and deviate less than 0.01 kcal/mol compared with standard DMRG calculations.
SARS-CoV-2 RdRp Follows Asynchronous Translocation Pathway for Viral Transcription and Replication
Authors: Wang Xiaowei , Yao Yuan , Gao Xin , Zhang Lu
Published: June 2022

RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is the replicase machinery for SARS-CoV-2 and thereby it has become one of the most promising drug targets to combat the pandemic as well as the healthy threat posed by the novel coronavirus. Translocation is one essential step for RdRp to exert the viral replication and transcription, and it describes the dynamic process in which the double-stranded RNA moves upstream by one base pair position to empty the active site for the continuous substrate incorporation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the dynamic translocation of SARS-CoV-2 RdRp remain elusive. In the current study, we have elucidated the molecular insights into the translocation dynamics of SARS- CoV-2 RdRp by constructing a Markov State Model based on extensive molecular dynamics simulations. We have identified two previously uncharacterized intermediates which pinpoint an asynchronous and rate-limiting translocation of the nascent-template duplex. The movement of the 3’-terminal nucleotide in the nascent strand lags behind its upstream nucleotides due to the uneven protein environment while the translocation of template strand is delayed by the hurdle residue K500. Although the motions of the two strands are not synchronous, they share the same “ratchet” to stabilize the system in the post-translocation state, suggesting a coupled Brownian-ratchet model. Overall, our study has provided the intriguing insights into the translocation dynamics with unprecedented molecular details, which would significantly deepen our understanding about the transcriptional mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2.
Cheap turns superior: A linear regression-based correction method to reaction energy from DFT
Authors: Nandi Surajit , Busk Jonas , Jørgensen Peter Bjørn , Vegge Tejs , Bhowmik Arghya
Published: June 2022

Workflows to predict chemical reaction networks based on density functional theory (DFT) are prone to systematic errors in reaction energy due to the extensive use of cheap DFT exchange-correlation functionals to limit computational cost. Recently, machine learning-based models are increasingly applied to mitigate this problem. However, machine learning models require systems similar to trained data, and the models often perform poorly for out-of-distribution systems. Here, we present a simple bond-based correction method that improves the accuracy of DFT-derived reaction energies. It is based on linear regression, and the correction terms for each bond are derived from reactions among the QM9 dataset. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this method with three DFT functionals in three different rungs of Jacob's ladder. The simple correction method is effective for all rung but especially so for the cheapest PBE functional. Finally, we applied the correction method to a few reactions with molecules significantly different from those in the QM9 dataset that was used to fit the linear regression model. Once corrected by this method, we found that the DFT reaction energies for such out-of-distribution reactions are within 0.05eV of the G4MP2 method.
Modelling of Electrocatalytic Double Layers with Refined Treatment of Metal-Water Interactions and Chemisorption
Authors: Huang Jun
Published: June 2022

The double layer on transition metals features chemical metal-water interactions and chemisorption of partially charged adsorbates, which have not been adequately described in previous double layer models developed for mercury-like metals. A new model with an improved description of both is developed herein. The first water layer is treated statistically, considering chemical interactions with the metal and a continuous spectrum of water orientational states. Chemisorption processes are described using Langmuir adsorption isotherms with distributed equilibrium potentials. In addition, the surface dipole moment induced by partially charged chemisorbates, markedly changing double layer behaviors, is considered. The model is then used to study how the potential of zero charge and the double-layer capacitance are influenced by the first-layer water molecules and partially charged chemisorbates. The model provides an alternative interpretation for recent capacitance data of Pt(111)-aqueous solution interfaces calculated from cyclic voltammetry (CV). The present interpretation is appealing for it does not introduce any unknown metal-ion interactions as previously, and for it resolves the discrepancy that the CV-based capacitance is several fold higher than that obtained using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The implications and limitations of the model are discussed.

Published: June 2022

A photoswitchable ligand based on azobenzene is self-assembled with palladium(II) ions to form a [Pd2(E-L)4]4+ cage. Irradiation with 470 nm light results in the near quantitative switching to a monomeric species [Pd(Z-L)2]2+. The assembled structures improve the selectivity of photoswitching towards the metastable isomer and increase its thermal lifetime.
PRMT1 is required for the generation of MHC-associated microglia and remyelination in the central nervous system

Published: June 2022

Remyelination failure in multiple sclerosis leads to progressive demyelination and inflammation, resulting in neurodegeneration and clinical decline. Microglia are innate immune cells that can acquire a regenerative phenotype to promote remyelination, yet little is known about the regulators controlling the regenerative microglia activation. Herein, using a cuprizone (CPZ)-diet induced de- and remyelination mice model, we identify PRMT1 as a driver for MHC-associated microglia population required for remyelination in the central nervous system. The loss of PRMT1, but not PRMT5, in microglia resulted in impairment of the remyelination with a reduction of oligoprogenitor cell number and prolonged microgliosis and astrogliosis. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we found eight distinct microglial clusters during the CPZ diet, and PRMT1 depleted microglia hindered the formation of the MHC-associated cluster, expressing MHCII and CD11c. Mechanistically, PRMT1-KO microglia displayed reduced the H3K27ac peaks at the promoter regions of the MHC- and IFN-associated genes and further suppressed gene expression during CPZ diet. Overall, our findings demonstrate that PRMT1 is a critical regulator of the MHC- and IFN-associated microglia, necessary for central nervous system remyelination.

The article considers the theoretical and practical importance of using general scientific methodology and, in particular, a systematic approach as a methodological basis for understanding the essence of innovative education and the ability to identify, structure and organize the body of knowledge about all its components. It is noted that innovations in education should be focused primarily on the spiritual, human nature of innovative transformations, cultural and professional development of students, stimulate creative thinking, form a spiritual value system, willingness to make decisions and be responsible for them in constant change, risk, innovation. The concept of «principles of innovative education» as a starting point of a systemic nature aimed at improving the quality of innovative education, in particular, improved or new educational systems, components of the educational process, educational technologies, scientific and methodological developments, technical means of educational institutions. The content of the principles of innovative education is defined, substantiated and characterized through the prism of a systems approach: the principle of global goal, the principle of integrity, the principle of structure, the principle of hierarchy, the principle of functionality, the principle of functionality, uncertainty.
The study of certain principles of innovative education in the perspective of a systems approach shows that their implementation in the modern educational space will ensure the integrity of transformations of innovative education and integrative outcome, which will significantly exceed significant changes in individual components of its system.
PERSONAL READINESS TO CHANGE OF THE MANAGERS OF INSTITUTION OF GENERAL SECONDARY EDUCATION IN KYIV: RESULTS OF ANALYTICAL RESEARCH
Authors: Lynov Kostiantyn , Sabol Diana , Kotsiuba Hanna , Merzliakova Olena
Published: June 2022

The article presents the results of an analytical research of personal readiness for change of the administrators (principals and their assistants) of Institutions of general secondary education, conducted by the Chair of Educational Leadership of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University in October-November 2021. In organizing the research we used the method of "Personal Change Readiness Survey", created by A. Rolnik, S. Heather, M. Gold, K. Hall in the adaptation of N. Bazhanova, G. Bardier. The phenomenon of psychological readiness for changes is considered. This phenomenon was studied through the research of personal characteristics of the administrators of the schools and the identification of dominant psychological factors that affect the process of their adaptation to change. Respondents demonstrated a medium-level of advantage in such indicators as "passion", "ingenuity", "confidence". The indicator of "optimism" was defined as insufficient to implement changes in educational institutions. Also, the slow pace of education reforms can be explained by the low level of indicators "courage", "adaptability", "tolerance for uncertainty". The results of the research revealed also contradictions between the high self-esteem of respondents regarding their attitude to change and towards the introduction of innovations in general secondary education, and low levels of such components of personal readiness of school managers for change as "courage", "adaptability", "tolerance for uncertainty". These factors are especially important for the effective transformation of schools and for the implementation of reforms in Ukraine. Low indicators may indicate a distorted and unconstructive system of motivation in the work of the administrators of the institutions of general education and, therefore, be a deterrent in making changes and implementing new ones.
Industrial PhD Education – Exploring Doctoral Students Acting in the Intersection of Academia and Work-Life
Authors: Bernhard Irene , Karin Olsson Anna
Published: June 2022

Aim/Purpose: The aim is to explore the benefits and challenges of industrial PhD education through the perspectives of industrial PhD students who are acting in the intersection of academia and work-life by applying a work-integrated learning (WIL) approach to highlight issues that academy and industry need to consider.

Background: Industrial PhD education is a vital part of collaboration between academia and society although still an under-researched field. This paper reveals the perspectives of the industrial PhD students who are at the same time involved in both academia and industry, with the same academic demands as traditionally enrolled academic PhD students combined with demands and expectations from their industrial employers.

Methodology: Qualitative methods were applied and 19 semi-structured interviews with industrial PhD students were conducted. The empirical context is a Swedish university profiling work-integrated learning offering PhD programs for industrial PhD students from both the private and public sectors.

Contribution: This explorative study contributes to advance the current knowledge of third cycle education to deepen the insights into benefits and challenges in industrial PhD education through the perspectives of industrial PhD students acting in the intersection of academia and work-life. By applying a WIL approach on third-cycle education, issues that academy and industry need to consider for successful collaboration within doctoral education are identified.

Findings: Findings indicate that industrial PhD students acting in the intersection of academia and work-life are developing practical and transferable skills requested by employers outside academia, hence increasing societal impact. Findings show that industrial PhD education generates several WIL benefits. Novel challenges identified include unclear financial agreements, conflicts of interest, administrative bureaucracy, work promotion opportunities, and lack of be-longing and identity, hence not exploiting the full potential of WIL. This has been further intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic with restricted travel and dependence solely on virtual connections.

Recommendations for Practitioners: It is vital to recognize that challenges do exist and need to be considered to strengthen industrial PhD education as well as collaboration between academia and society. Increased communication and continuous interactions between academia and industry during the entire industrial PhD education are needed.

Recommendations for Researchers: Future studies of WIL in industrial PhD education are encouraged.
Impact of society This study contributes insights into PhD education transforming along with societal needs based on successful university-society collaboration.

Future Research: Further research is encouraged to deepen and broaden the industry perspective of industrial PhD education.

The rivers of the Amazon are important water resources for the planet however they are gradually suffering from anthropic impacts, especially those arising from mining and industrial activity. In this study, the bioaccumulation factor of toxic elements in tissues of fish species collected in the Murucupi River, a local impacted by effluents from an alumina factory located in Barcarena, in the Brazilian Amazon, was evaluated. Twenty samples were collected from three species of fish Cichla spp, Eigenmannia sp., and Angelfish. The element Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn were analyzed in fish tissue and gills using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Regarding the concentration of the elements evaluated in the tissue, only Pb was not in compliance with the legislation. The BAF for the fish tissue samples indicated Cu bioaccumulation for the species Cichla spp (1130 L.kg-1) around seven times higher than the established limit, Eigenmannia sp. (2885 L.kg-1) fourteen times larger, and Angelfish (1640 L.kg-1) eight times larger. Ni also showed bioaccumulation for the specie Cichla spp (150 L.kg-1) and Eigenmannia sp. (145 L.kg-1) around one and a half times higher than recommended for both species. Zn showed bioaccumulation for the species Cichla spp (4212 L.kg-1), Eigenmannia sp. (3538 L.kg-1) around four times higher for both species, and Angelfish (7942 L.kg-1) around eight times higher. These elements with BAF above the recommended can present risks to the biota and consumers.

In this study, eight promising advanced bread wheat genotypes derived from breeding programs and Ceyhan-99, Sagittario, Masaccio, and Seri-82 commercial cultivars were used as materials. The experiments were carried out in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 cropping years in a randomized complete block design with four replications. In the study, some agronomic and quality traits were investigated. Bread wheat genotypes varied significantly for all investigated traits in terms of the year, genotype, and year x genotype interactions. Based on average data, the investigated traits were determined as; plant height (PH) 90.86 cm, spike length (SL) 9.40 cm, spikelet number (SN) 18.90, grain number per spike (GNS) 56.22, grain weight per spike (GWP) 1.95 g, thousand kernel weight (TKW) 34.90 g, grain yield (GY) 654.54 kg/da, test weight (TW) 76.17 kg/hl, protein ratio (PO) 12.28%, wet gluten (WG) 34.16% and Zeleny sedimentation (ZS) 33.87 ml. According to the two-year results, the highest PH (102.8 cm) was obtained from the Ceyhan-99 cultivar, while ZDEB106 genotype had the longest spike length (9.83 cm) and the highest spikelet number (19.93). ZDEB108 genotype had the highest values in GNS (63.25), GWS (2.24 g), and test weight (77.73 kg hl-1). On the other hand, ZDEB103 genotype was the highest in PO (14 %), WGR (44.28 %) and ZS (40.78 ml). Again, ZDEB101 genotype had the highest TKW (39.255 g), while the highest grain yield (754.56 kg da-1) was obtained from the Massacio cultivar. On the other hand, principal component (PC1 and PC2) analysis explained 62.4 % of the total variation. Thus, a positive correlation was determined between GY with TKW, TW, and PH, while the other traits were negatively correlated with GY.

Cuminum cyminum L. is one of the most widely consumed spices worldwide and in Turkey. This spice, whose cultivation sites and volume are continually changing annually, is essential, particularly in dry areas. In this research, nationwide seeds cultivated in India, Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Turkey (Denizli Province) were used. This study was carried out in the production season of 2020-2021 in Bekilli city of Denizli province as a randomized block design with three replications. In this study, plant height (cm), the number of branches per plant (number), the number of umbels per plant (number), the number of umbellates per plant (number), the number of seeds per umbellate (number), the weight of 1000 seeds (grams), the seed yield (kg/da-1), fixed oil ratio (%) and fixed oil yield (%) of cumin plant were determined. The results of the two-year study have been determined as follows: plant height was 24.72 cm, the number of branches was 5.96, the number of umbels was 33.86, the number of umbellate per umbel was 3.63, the number of seeds was per umbellate 4.82, the weight of 1000 seeds was 3.4 g, seed yield was 59.88 kg/da-1, fixed oil ratio was 11.28%, the fixed oil yield was 6.67 kg/da-1. Türkiye (Denizli) population has reached higher values than other populations in terms of yield and quality characteristics.

The global population increases daily, which requires a considerable increase in food production. Bambara nut is an important staple food crop capable of supplying essential nutrients to the body and providing the farmers with income, yet it is underutilized. This study, therefore, assessed the commercialization of Bambara nut production in Nigeria to enhance food availability. Primary data were gathered from 240 respondents and analysed using descriptive statistics, household commercialization index (HCI), and the Tobit model. The results revealed that the mean HCI was 56%, indicating that there exists a gap of 44% for Bambara nut farmers to reach full commercialization. Access to credit, household size, age, farming experience, the quantity of fertilizer, farm output, and distance to the market were significant factors influencing the degree of Bambara nut commercialization. Inadequate access to credit/loan facilities, long-distance to market, high cost of inputs, poor road network to transport produce, and incidence of pests and diseases were the militating constraints to commercialization of Bambara nut production. This study advocates for the provision of credit and inputs, by government and financial institutions, to the farmers to improve their production and commercialization endeavours.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of humic acid (HA) applications on rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) growth, heavy metal uptake, bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation factor (TF), tolerance index (TI), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) enzyme activities and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content in polluted soil with lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), and zinc (Zn). Three doses of HA (Control, HA1:500 mg kg-1, HA2:1000 mg kg-1, HA3:2000 mg kg-1) were applied in pots. HA1, HA2, and HA3 applications increased plant growth parameters compared to polluted soil. Compared to the control, HA applications in polluted soil increased the Pb, Cr, Cd, and Zn concentrations in the plant. However, HA applications in polluted soil significantly decreased the heavy metal content in roots and shoots of the plant compared to polluted soil. BCF in both roots and shoots of the plants were greater than 1 for Pb, Cr, Cd, and Zn. However, specifically HA2 application decreased the shoot and root BCF values in polluted soil. TF was smaller than 1 in Pb, Cr, Cd, and Zn in polluted soil. On the other hand, HA applications for Cd increased TF values. Shoot TI decreased 17.37 %, and root TI decreased 9.09% in polluted soil. CAT and APX enzyme activities and H2O2 increased significantly in polluted soil. However, HA applications decreased CAT and APX enzyme activities and H2O2 content in rapeseed. It is concluded that HA application in Pb, Cr, Cd, and Zn polluted soil has a remedial effect on the development of rapeseed by reducing heavy metal content and oxidative stress.

Treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacteria by nanoparticles: Current approaches and prospects
Authors: Tigabu Bekele , Getachew Alamnie
Published: June 2022

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are emerging pathogens whose resistance profiles generate a serious health crisis by holding their impact on human health. Misuse of antibiotics has directed the emergence of microbes immune to presently accessible drugs. Pathogenic bacteria become resistant by employing various mechanisms, such as; antibiotic modification, target site alteration, and biofilm formation, increasing the time they spend in the intracellular environment where antibiotics are unable to succeed at therapeutic levels. Due to this, attempts are being made to develop new alternative nanoantibiotics as a promising approach to treat multidrug resistance disease-causing bacteria. Accordingly, there is considerable contemporary attention to the use of nanoparticles (NPs) as antibacterial agents against different pathogens and as target drug delivery toward specific tissues therefore microbes are eliminated by the biocidal properties of nanoantibiotics. Additionally, the utilization of nanoencapsulation systems can help to beat the issues of, those with toxicity natures, and target drug delivery problems. This review encompasses the antibiotic resistance prevalence, mechanisms, and therefore the use of nanoparticles as antibacterial and drug delivery systems to overcome the antibiotic resistance challenges of bacteria. Overall, this review paper provides a conceptual framework for understanding the complexity of the matter of emergence of antibiotic resistance bacteria even for brand spanking new synthesized antibiotics. Therefore the availability of such knowledge will allow researchers to supply detailed studies about the applications of nanoparticles in the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacteria.
JANISSARIES AND CONFLICTS OVER RURAL LANDS IN THE VIDIN REGION (1730-1810)
Authors: KOKDAŞ İrfan
Published: June 2022

The Vidin region has attracted much scholarly attention, particularly due to the bloody uprisings in the area around the middle of the nineteenth century. For a long period, Balkan historians have understood this mid-nineteenth-century crisis as an inevitable consequence of a Bulgarian national awakening. Although the recent scholarship challenges the nationalist narrative, it continues to ignore the complexities of the socio-legal structures in the Vidinese hinterland, which had developed in the course of the eighteenth century, and reduces all conflict lines to the duality of interests between peasants and proprietors. Going beyond the dualistic narratives of exploitation, this study aims to historicize the land question in the Balkans by presenting the Janissaries both as actors of the Ottoman military establishment in the Vidin region and as rural investors who enjoyed benefits from and shaped the workings of the area’s land regime thanks to their own networks and the state’s policies. By doing so, it contextualizes the ruptures and continuities in landholding patterns, and also highlights the rural entrepreneurship of the Janissaries, who in Ottoman/Middle Eastern scholarship have generally been portrayed as active historical agents of city-based riots and urban-centered commercial activities.
