Published: July 2024

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma in adults, with a growing increase in prevalence in some countries, but to date with little information from studies in the Colombian population. Objective: To describe the characteristics of a population of patients diagnosed with MF in a specialized reference center in the city of Cali, Colombia. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study that included patients older than 18 years of age of both sexes with a diagnosis of MF, defined by biopsy and analyzed by a complete team of pathologists, oncologists, dermatologists, treated in the outpatient and hospitalization services in the Hematoncologos , clinic based in Cali, between the years 2013 - 2023. Result: A total of 21 patients met all the criteria for entry into the study, 76% of them were women, the vast majority from the city of Cali 14 (66%), the median age was 66 years (23- 81), the average in months from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis was 23.2 months. The vast majority of patients were in early stages of the disease, the presentation in plaques was the most common (47.6%). Conclusions: In our study, a higher prevalence of the disease was observed in women, a particularly important fact because it is not the usual distribution worldwide, with an age of presentation similar to that of global studies. A very important fact in our study is that the diagnosis was established earlier compared to the global average.
Sarcoma de Ewing extrapulmonar de gran tamaño, un reto diagnóstico. Reporte de caso
Authors: Burbano Andrade Gissel Alejandra , Rojas Torres Juan Pablo , Rosero Ruiz Martín Andrés
Published: July 2024

Ewing's sarcoma is a type of primary bone tumor, typically found in long and flat bones. It is less frequently located in the thoracic wall. It is noteworthy that the occurrence of a significantly large tumor in the rib cage is uncommon. Additionally, it is important to highlight that the prognosis is inversely proportional to the size of the tumor. Clinical case: We present the case of an 11-year-old Afro-descendant patient with no pathological history, presenting with fever, pleuritic pain, and dyspnea. Imaging studies, including a biopsy, revealed a tumor in the right costal arch (13 x 11 cm). Biopsy confirms Ewing's sarcoma. Chemotherapy is initiated with significant improvement by week 6. Pediatric oncological surgery successfully resects the tumor (6x7 cm) in the seventh costal arch with no complications. The patient continues with antineoplastic management and shows clinical improvement by week 12. Conclussion: Emphasizing the importance of clinical-pathological correlation, immunohistochemical studies are crucial for a definitive diagnosis, considering the histological characteristics specific to this sarcoma. Few cases in the literature report initial tumor size and its reduction post-chemotherapeutic therapy, highlighting the favorable outcome observed in the patient by week 12 of chemotherapy.

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy and one of the 19 most frequent types of cancer. Its diagnosis is a challenge due to the low rate of disease recognition, and diagnosis delays lead to the characteristic end-organ damage of the disease. New approaches to tackle that diagnosis challenge are required. Emerging evidence shows that Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNA) promote increased methylation in MM cells. In this analysis, we delve into the latest discoveries surrounding piRNA biogenesis and functions, offering fresh perspectives on the possible uses of piRNAs in detection and diagnosis in MM. piRNA-823 increases in MM cells and positively correlates with the disease stage. Its tumorigenic actions in MM relate to intercellular communication between MM and vein endothelial cells. These findings provide the necessary information to highlight the possible role of piRNA-823 as a biomarker for MM diagnosis.

A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DA PSICOLOGIA SISTÊMICA A MULHERES VÍTIMAS DE VIOLÊNCIA DOMÉSTICA
Authors: Souza Leila Maria de , Silva Diego da
Published: July 2024

A Violência doméstica é considerada um grande problema social e de saúde pública, visto que diante dos fatos acarretam impactos na trajetória tanto daquele que sofre a violência quanto daquele que somente assiste. Levando em consideração o fato de haver filhos que indiretamente se englobam na mesma violência praticada, causando um prejuízo ainda maior. O objetivo deste trabalho é trazer informações recentes sobre o tema abordado, estatísticas atuais e avaliar quais são as contribuições que a Psicologia sistêmica pode beneficiar dentro de um contexto familiar violento. Tendo em vista que dentro de uma dinâmica familiar com base na teoria sistêmica, várias partes não se forma um todo, nunca é a soma das partes e sim um sistema se relacionando. Se existe a complexidade, existe a instabilidade, e pode ser a partir desta instabilidade que em uma visão sistêmica possa vir às práticas de violência doméstica que, significativamente, vem aumentado às estatísticas no Brasil e fora dele. Sendo que a prática dessa violência, seja contra a mulher ou familiar envolvendo mais de uma pessoa, é praticada desde sempre, e muitas vezes ficando-se impune. A importância de um acompanhamento médico e psicológico familiar é de extrema importância para entender a dinâmica dessa família e o contexto da violência sofrida, além de um lugar de escuta, empatia e acolhimento para as vítimas de tais violências sofridas.

Os prolactinomas são adenomas hipofisários secretores de prolactina, sendo mais frequentes em mulheres, mas apresentando características específicas quando aparecem em homens. Em geral, os prolactinomas masculinos tendem a ser de maior diâmetro e mais agressivos no curso clínico. Geralmente o que leva ao diagnóstico nos homens são alguns dos efeitos de massa  tumoral, como distúrbios visuais e cefaléia, e menos frequentemente devido aos efeitos da hiperprolactinemia. Os prolactinomas no sexo masculino podem impactar a saúde cardiovascular, metabólica, a fertilidade e saúde óssea. O manejo dos prolactinomas em homens envolve predominantemente uma farmacoterapia com agonistas da dopamina, visando a redução dos níveis de PRL, reversão dos sinais clínicos, redução do tumor, restauração da função gonadal e outras deficiências hormonais hipofisárias e prevenção da recorrência ou progressão do tumor. Apesar de sua agressividade, esses tumores são em sua maioria benignos e respondem bem ao tratamento e a normalização da prolactina é alcançada na maioria dos casos. Em suma, embora menos comuns em homens, os prolactinomas apresentam características clínicas específicas e frequentemente desafiadoras no sexo masculino, exigindo abordagens terapêuticas adaptadas às suas necessidades específicas. A compreensão dessas particularidades é essencial para melhorar os resultados clínicos e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes do sexo masculino.

Abstract. This article gives the overview of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) level 2 (L2) Standard and Research algorithms and products by Japanese science teams for EarthCARE Clouds, Aerosols and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE), which is a JAXA and the European Space Agency (ESA) joint satellite mission. First three single sensor algorithms for 94GHz cloud profiling radar (CPR)-only, 355nm-atmospheric lidar with high spectral resolution function (ATLID)-only, and multi-spectral imager (MSI)-only retrievals, and their products were briefly reviewed. CPR-echo algorithms provide radar reflectivity factor, Doppler velocity, normalized radar cross section and path integral attenuation. CPR-only, CPR-ATLID synergy and CPR-ALTID-MSI synergy algorithms for standard cloud products provide cloud detection, cloud particle type and cloud microphysics, and the research products further provide Doppler velocity, terminal velocity and vertical air motion inside clouds. ATLID standalone algorithms produce aerosol, cloud and clear sky classification products as well as total aerosol extinction and extinction and number concentration of each aerosol types. ATLID-MSI synergy algorithms are developed to retrieve effective radius for each aerosol species in addition to the ATLID-only products. MSI algorithms retrieve cloud effective radius, ice and water content and cloud top pressure. Four sensor algorithms are prepared to produce shortwave and longwave radiative fluxes at the top of atmosphere, those at the surface and also heating rate profiles by using the outputs from CPR, ATLID and their synergy algorithms. The shortwave and longwave fluxes from the four sensor algorithms will then be compared with broad band radiation (BBR) to examine the consistency of the JAXA L2 retrievals. The algorithms are developed and evaluated by using observational data from satellites and ground-based instruments, and simulation data from the Japanese global cloud-resolving model, the Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM) with Joint simulator. As for space-borne data, existing space-borne satellites data such as CloudSat, CALIPSO, MODIS and CERES datasets are intensively used. For ground-based observations, High-sensitivity Ground-based Super Polarimetric Ice-crystal Detection and Explication Radar (HG-SPIDER) with a minimum sensitivity of -40 dBZ at 15 km and over -60 dBZ at 1 km, Electronic Scanning SPIDER (ES-SPIDER), 355 nm high spectral resolution lidar, multiple-field-of-view multiple scattering lidar and Doppler lidars are installed at EarthCARE super-site in Koganei, Tokyo and offers unique opportunities to evaluate and analyse EarthCARE data.

Abstract. We present an extensive dataset of ice thickness measurements from Jostedalsbreen ice cap, mainland Europe's largest glacier. The dataset consists of more than 351 000 point values of ice thickness distributed along ~1100 km profile segments that cover most of the ice cap. Ice thickness was measured during field campaigns in 2018, 2021, 2022, and 2023 using various ground-penetrating radar (GPR) systems with frequencies ranging between 2.5 and 500 MHz. The large majority of ice thickness observations were collected in spring using either snowmobiles (90 %) or a helicopter-based radar system (8 %), while summer measurements were carried out on foot (2 %). To ensure accessibility and ease of use, metadata were attributed following the GlaThiDa dataset and follows the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) guiding principles. Our findings show that glacier ice of more than 400 m thickness is found in the upper regions of large outlet glaciers, with a maximum ice thickness of ~630 m in the Tunsbergdalsbreen outlet glacier accumulation area. Thin ice of less than 50 m covers narrow regions joining the central part of Jostedalsbreen with its northern and southern parts, making the ice cap vulnerable to break-up with future climate warming. Using the point values of ice thickness as input to an ice thickness model, we compute 10 m grids of ice thickness and bed topography that cover the entire ice cap. From these distributed datasets we find that Jostedalsbreen has a mean ice thickness of 154 m ±22 m and a present (~2020) ice volume of 70.6 ±10.2 km3. Locations of depressions in the map of bed topography are used to delimitate the locations of potential future lakes, consequently providing a glimpse of the landscape if the entire Jostedalsbreen melts away. Together, the comprehensive ice thickness point values and ice cap-wide grids serve as a baseline for future climate change impact studies at Jostedalsbreen.

High-spatiotemporal reconstruction of biogeochemical dynamics in Australia integrating satellites products and in-situ observations (2000–2022)
Authors: Zhang Xiaohan , Wang Lizhe , Yan Jining , Wang Sheng
Published: July 2024

Abstract. The marine biogeochemical time-series products, which include total alkalinity, inorganic carbon, nitrate, phosphate, silicate, and pH, constitute a foundational support mechanism for the ongoing surveillance of oceanic biogeochemical changes. These products play a critical role in facilitating research focused on dynamic monitoring of marine ecosystems and fostering sustainable oceanic development. However, existing monitoring methodologies are hampered by inherent limitations, notably the paucity of observational products that simultaneously offer high spatial and temporal resolutions. Furthermore, the interpolation methods typically employed in these contexts frequently prove low-effective on a large scale, resulting in data with extensive temporal and spatial expanses that are difficulty for applications aimed at monitoring large-scale ocean dynamics. A novel integration of the CANYON-B and Random Forest regression methods was explored to address these challenges in reconstructing key marine biogeochemical parameters. This work reconstructs the concentrations of these marine biogeochemicals at the sea surface within Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone over the period from 2000 to 2022 on a 1-kilometre scale. The approach involves the amalgamation of multi-source in-situ ocean chemistry time-series observations with MODIS Terra ocean reflectance imagery and ocean water colour product distributions. This research highlights the substantial capabilities of machine learning for the large-scale reconstruction of ocean chemistry data, introducing a new, viable method for utilising in-situ measurements and optical imagery in reconstructing marine biogeochemical elements, thereby significantly enhancing our ability to monitor large-scale ocean dynamics. The datasets generated and analysed in this study are available on Science Data Bank (https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.09331) (Zhang et al., 2024)
µID-TIMS: Spatially-resolved high-precision U-Pb zircon geochronology

Published: July 2024

Abstract. We present a novel methodology for spatially-resolved high-precision U-Pb geochronology of individual growth domains in complex zircon. Our approach utilizes a combined plasma (Xe+/Ar+) focused ion beam (PFIB)–femtosecond (fs) laser system equipped with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). This system enables micrometer resolution sampling of zircon growth domains with real-time monitoring by cathodoluminescence (CL) SEM imaging. Microsamples are then extracted, chemically abraded, dissolved and analyzed by isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) to obtain high-precision U-Pb dates. Because of its superior beam precision (~8–20 µm diameter), cleaner cuts, and negligible, nanometer-scale damage imparted on the zircon structure, PFIB machining (30 kV) is preferred for microsamples of sizes expected in most future studies focusing on texturally complex natural zircon (20–120 µm length scales). Femtosecond laser machining is significantly faster and therefore more appropriate for larger microsamples (>120 µm length scales) but it is also coarser (≥20 µm probe size), produces rougher cuts, and creates a minimum of two orders of magnitude wider (micrometer-scale) structurally damaged zone along the laser cuts. Our experiments show that PFIB machining can be conducted on zircon coated with carbon (minor drift of ion beam during machining) and protective metal coatings (no CL signal) as neither offset the U-Pb systematics nor do they introduce trace amounts of common Pb. We used Xe+ PFIB and femtosecond laser to obtain U–Pb dates for Mud Tank and GZ7 zircon microsamples covering a range of sizes (40 × 18 × 40 µm – 100 × 80 × 70 µm) and found that microsampling does not bias the accuracy of the resulting µID-TIMS U-Pb dates. The accuracy and precision of µID-TIMS dates for zircon of any given age and U concentration depend, as for non-microsampled zircon, on Utotal/Ublank and Pb*/Pbc – both a function of sample size. Our accompanying open-source code can aid researchers in estimating the necessary microsample size needed to obtain accurate dates at precision sufficient to resolve the processes under study. µID-TIMS bridges the gap between conventional bulk-grain high-precision dating and high-spatial resolution in situ techniques, enabling the study of the timescales of a variety of processes recorded on the scale of individual growth zones in zircon. This method can be applied to zircon of any age and composition, from terrestrial systems to precious samples from other planetary bodies.
Wind farm structural response and wake dynamics for an evolving stable boundary layer: computational and experimental comparisons
Authors: Shaler Kelsey , Quon Eliot , Ivanov Hristo , Jonkman Jason
Published: July 2024

Abstract. The wind turbine design process requires performing thousands of simulations for a wide range of inflow and control conditions, which necessitates computationally efficient yet time-accurate models, especially when considering wind farm settings. To this end, FAST.Farm is a dynamic-wake-meandering-based mid-fidelity engineering tool developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory targeted at accurately and efficiently predicting wind turbine power production and structural loading in wind farm settings, including wake interactions between turbines. This work is an extension of a study that addressed constructing a diurnal cycle evolution based on experimental data (Quon, 2024). Here, this inflow is used to validate the turbine structural and wake-meandering response between experimental data, FAST.Farm simulation results, and high-fidelity large-eddy simulation results from the coupled Simulator fOr Wind Farm Applications (SOWFA)–OpenFAST tool. The validation occurs within the nocturnal stable boundary layer when corresponding meteorological and turbine data are available. To this end, we compared the load results from FAST.Farm and SOWFA–OpenFAST to multi-turbine measurements from a subset of a full-scale wind farm. Computational predictions of blade-root and tower-base bending loads are compared to 10 min statistics of strain gauge measurements during 3.5 h of the evolving stable boundary layer, generally with good agreement. This time period coincided with an active wake-steering campaign of an upstream turbine, resulting in time-varying yaw positions of all turbines. Wake meandering was also compared between the computational solutions, generally with excellent agreement. Simulations were based on a high-fidelity precursor constructed from inflow measurements and using state-of-the-art mesoscale-to-microscale coupling.

Published: July 2024

1730 yılında Osmanlı Devleti’nde Patrona İsyanı olarak adlandırılan bir ayaklanma zuhur etmiş, eğlenceyi ve şatafatı temsil eden Lale Devri’ne sona vermişti. İsyancılar devrin padişahı III. Ahmed’i tahtından indirmişler ve uzun zaman iktidarda kalan sadrazam İbrahim Paşa’yı öldürtmüşlerdi. Sonrasında iki ay müddetle, tahta çıkardıkları padişah I. Mahmud ve sadrazam üzerinde zorba idaresi tesis etmişlerdi. Zevk ve sefa düşkünlüğünün emaresi olarak değerlendirdikleri önceden inşa edilen köşkleri yıktırmışlar ve beğenmedikleri idari uygulamaları kaldırmışlardı. Hususi olarak bu isyanı ve sonrasındaki gelişmeleri günü gününe anlatan, Diyarbakır Ziya Gökalp Yazma Eser Kütüphanesinde kısa bir yazma eser mevcuttur. Bu yazma kütüphane kataloğunda Patrona Halil İsyanı adıyla kaydedilmiştir. Eser isyanı çok canlı ve yalın bir dille tasvir etmesi, ihtilalcileri değişik bir bakışla değerlendirmesi bakımlarından vakaya ilişkin diğer kaynaklardan farklılık arz etmektedir. Bu makalede esasen Patrona Halil İsyanı adlı eserin Osmanlıca metninin transkripsiyonu yapılmıştır. Bununla beraber eserin müverrihinin veya müstensihinin kim olabileceği üzerine kanaat beyan edilmiş ve isyana ilişkin diğer eserler de dikkate alınarak muhteviyatı bakımından bazı karşılaştırmalar yapılmıştır.

De Gonzalo de Berceo (1963) a Nebrija (2022). La cultura escrita medieval y la historieta histórica en España.
Authors: Hernando Morejón Jacobo
Published: July 2024

Esta investigación tiene por objetivo explorar la recepción y uso del conocimiento que la paleografía pone a disposición de la sociedad en el ámbito de la historia de la cultura escrita de la Edad Media. Para ello estudiaremos dicho impacto a través de un medio de comunicación de masas como el cómic y la novela gráfica, producto adscrito a la cultura popular, que hace uso de elementos reconocibles y relativos a la escritura y documentos del medioevo.
Para llevar a cabo nuestro objetivo hemos hecho uso de un corpus extenso de más de 100 títulos del género de la historieta histórica publicadas en España. Se han seleccionado los ejemplos más importantes que se han encontrado, así como el concepto general que los autores de cómic tienen acerca de la comunicación escrita y su presencia en este periodo, la representación de documentos y el papel que reciben las diferentes letras que en el periodo se desarrollan.
Los resultados muestran que existe una cierta arbitrariedad a la hora de emplear referentes gráficos que estéticamente ayuden a reforzar la experiencia lectora en la evocación de épocas del pasado medieval mediante el uso de tipografías que, siendo adaptaciones de letras capitulares, intentan imitar estética y visualmente la escritura manuscrita original de los códices. Es una estrategia especialmente comercial, al ser la portada el primer contacto entre público y obra. Dentro de las narrativas gráficas, la carta brilla como medio de comunicación preferente, con un espacio propio dentro de las propias estructuras, que permiten el avance de la trama o, incluso, es la génesis de esta. Es especialmente notable cómo el elemento escrito tiene una presencia más destacada durante el periodo democrático en una forma más detallista acerca del libro, el documento y la importancia del conocimiento transmitido. Socialmente, se observa cómo el pueblo llano parece ajeno a los circuitos de los lectoescritores, pero disfrutan de sus propias redes culturales y de aprendizaje gracias a la oralidad. El desarrollo de la historieta histórica en España ha comportado que, según la intencionalidad divulgativa de sus autores, se exploren otros tipos de ejemplos escriturarios, como la del gran Otro de la península ibérica medieval, en al-Ándalus. Es en estos ejemplos donde se reconoce un mayor compromiso por reivindicar la cultura escrita de esta sociedad extinta, más que en la tradición de presentar las historietas desde el punto de vista cristiano, centrada en temáticas político-militares.

Published: July 2024

Este articulo aborda el fenómeno de la conversación que la generación de los centennials (‘generación muda’) desarrolla a través de la mensajería instantánea WhatsApp. El análisis de veintitrés entrevistas a personas de diferentes generaciones (centennials, millennials y generación X) sobre su uso conversacional de WhatsApp permite identificar las características de la conversación de la generación muda: la presencialidad, la no presencialidad, las emociones y el respeto, así como las diferencias que se registran en estos valores entre las tres generaciones. Los resultados también muestran un rasgo distintivo en las formas de conversación de los centennials (18-25 años). Estos jóvenes prefieren la mediación tecnológica y utilizan el móvil como escudo protector: la naturaleza simultánea y presencial de la conversación convencional les resulta incómoda.

Published: July 2024

Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar a desigualdade de oportunidade educacional dos jovens por meio do cálculo dos determinantes do investimento em capital humano para famílias brasileiras que tinham filhos estudantes e não estudantes, mas aptos a cursar a educação básica. O procedimento econométrico utilizado foi o método de dois estágios de Heckman. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a decisão das famílias pelo investimento e pelo volume de investimento em educação é influenciado por: renda familiar, proporção de crianças e adolescentes na família, frequência na rede pública de ensino e a não frequência em instituições de ensino, a condição do filho e região do domicílio. Além disso, também foram significativas as variáveis de interação entre cor do chefe com renda familiar e arranjo familiar monoparental feminino com a renda familiar.
Reliability and Validity of Gujarati Version of the Vertigo Symptom Scale – Short form in Menopausal Women
Authors: Kuldeep Gehlot Nandini , Thakrar Gira
Published: July 2024

Background: Vertigo, a sensation of dizziness and spinning, can occur in menopausal women due to hormonal changes. To measure these vertigo symptoms, a tool called the Vertigo Symptom Scales Short-form (VSS-SF) is commonly used. The VSS-SF is currently not available in Gujarati language so there is a need to develop a scale which can be used by the Gujarati language speaking population.
Material & method: An observational study was conducted, translating the scale VSS-SF comprises 15 items, each scored on a 5-point scale (0–4) into Gujarati through double forward and backward translation. Experts scored each question as accepted or rejected. The finalized Gujarati version's reliability were assessed with a sample of 20 menopausal women.
Result: Result calculated by using SPSS. The Gujarati version of the VSS-SF has high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α=0.873).
Conclusion: The translation of the VSS-SF into Gujarati successfully maintained the semantic and measurement properties of the original version. The resulting Gujarati version proved to be a valid and reliable scale for assessing vertigo symptoms in the Gujarati population.

Pathogenesis of Amraz-e-Riya (Lung Disease) in Unani Medicine - A Review
Authors: Hasan Farukh , Rahman Azizur , Idreesi Zeenat
Published: July 2024

Background & objective: In the Unani system of medicine (USM), the lungs are considered an essential organ that plays a crucial role in maintaining health by respiration. The lungs are closely associated with the sanguine humour, and, any imbalance in this humour may lead to various respiratory disorders and other health issues. In USM, the diseases are understood based on Asbāb (Causes), Alamat (signs, and symptoms), and Mahiyat-e-Mardi (pathogenesis). This study aims to describe the pathogenesis of Amraz-e-Riya (lung disease) for a better understanding of the disease and proper treatment.
Methodology: Literature related to the pathogenesis of lung disease was surveyed from classical books of Ṭibb-i-Unani, their translations, commentaries, previous dissertations, journals, proceedings, etc.
Result and conclusion: Unani physicians explained respiration is completed by two movements and two resting phases. The inhaled air moderates the heat of Rūḥ(Pneuma), which is very important for maintaining health and life because its disturbance has immediate consequences on health. By exhalation, the lungs expel smoky vapours from the body because inappropriate or bad air is likely to dissolve the Ḥarārat Gharīziyya (innate heat). So, it can be concluded that respiration plays an important role in the survival and continuation of life.

RELIGIOSITY IN KAZAKHSTAN: VALUES AND MEANINGS
Authors: Zabirova Aigul ,   Kazakhstan Institute for Strategic Studies under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Published: July 2024

This paper's goal is to examine Kazakh religiosity through a comparative analysis of Turkic religiosity, as the two cultures are closely related in terms of origin, history, language, and religion. Based on an empirical description of representative data collected in both countries in 2018 by the World Values Survey, the analysis of religiosity has been carried out. The paper's subject is defined through considering religion as a value and pointing out the similarities and differences between the meanings and ideas of religion in Kazakh and Turkish. A typological classification of the two groups as believers is attempted, based on empirical analysis; the Turks are categorized as practicing Muslims, while the Kazakhs remain classified as nominal or non-practicing Muslims. This essay also illustrates the key variables shaping Kazakhstan's religious environment, including radical Islamism, the view that "failed" modernization is to blame for the growth in religiosity, and religious rebirth as a part of national revival process.

Compounds that prevent or slow down the oxidation of lipids or other molecules like free radicals are known as antioxidants. The Study evaluated the antioxidant capacity, hydrogen peroxide scavenging capacity, and total flavonoid and phenol contents of six spices. Dried samples of spices were extracted in distilled water and analyzed using spectrophotometric and titrimetric methods. TAC results ranged from 232.79 - 64.32 mg/100g, with clove and black cardamom exhibiting the highest and lowest antioxidant activity respectively. The H2O2 scavenging activities result had clove and rosemary with the highest scavenging activity. Rosemary had the highest total phenol (5060 mg/100g) and flavonoid (1339 mg/100g) contents while black cardamom had the lowest values in both. Spices could be substituted for synthetic antioxidants in the food industry and as dietary sources of natural antioxidants.

Alpine ecosystems are distinct and demanding settings that are defined by severe climatic extremes, such as frigid temperatures, intense radiation, and restricted nutrition supply. The adaptations of alpine plants are finely tuned responses to the unique environmental challenges they face. By delving into the intricate interplay between temperature, UV radiation, soil conditions, and precipitation patterns, are valuable insights into the resilience of alpine ecosystems. Such knowledge is not only crucial for advancing ecological understanding but also for informing conservation and management strategies in the era of global environmental change. We have covered all the abiotic factors affecting plant growth and development in alpine and subalpine area in this mini review. It will be beneficial for researchers, industrialists, ecologists and agriculturists.

The impetus for this study is the need to understand factors influencing the use of insect pest control methods in North Central Nigeria. Specifically, the study described the socioeconomic characteristics of respondents, assessed awareness and use of insect pest control methods, examined farmers’ considerations and investigated factors influencing insect pest control decisions. Using a structured interview schedule to elicit information, data was collected by means of multi-stage sampling technique to select a total of 384 cowpea farmers for this study. A purposive selection of Kwara and Niger States paved way for the purposive choice of two agricultural zones in Kwara state and one agricultural zone in Niger state. Percentages, frequency counts, ranks, mean, and ordinary least square regression was used to analyze the data. The study revealed that the intended time of sale, time required to apply method, and time of application were the factors most considered for store insect pest control. Ordinary Least Square regression estimates demonstrate positive significant relationship between farm size (t=4.681), group membership (t=4.688), and quantity stored in tons (t=2.312) and intensity of use. Conversely, years of education (t=-2.196), years of cowpea farming experience (t=-3.419), and frequency of extension contact (t=-.534) had significant negative relationship with intensity of use. In conclusion, it is recommended that policy makers and extension staff put into consideration farm size, group membership, quantity stored, years of education, years of cowpea farming experience and frequency of extension contact in optimizing extension strategy for promotion of indigenous and alternative insect pest control methods.

The study was conducted in Kirehe District, Mpanga Sector. The major objective of this study was to assess the impact of native tree species reforestation in Rwanda. A Case Study of Ibanda Makera Natural Forest. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey research design as its framework to guide the process of data collection. The target population was households living closer to the forest. The study adopted a purposive sampling approach to select four villages. Twenty (20) households were randomly selected from each village making a total sample size of 80 respondents. Descriptive analysis was done using SPSS version 20, and regression using STATA version 17. A logistic regression model was mostly adopted for this study to determine the factors influencing native tree species in the study area. The result of the regression analysis indicated that age, gender, occupation, household size, price of fuel, tree product use, and distance to the forest influenced negatively native tree species. This study revealed that the most common social-economic benefits of native tree species reforestation are community benefits, soil protection, carbon sequestration, increased research activities, habitat restoration, climate resilience, job creation, water regulation, increased tourism demand, and infrastructure development. Additionally, native tree species require less maintenance, are more tolerant of local conditions, and require fewer pesticides and fertilizers to thrive. Native tree species often require less water and can be used to create natural buffers that reduce noise and air pollution. Finally, from an economic perspective, native plants can improve property values, reduce energy costs, and create a more desirable living environment. Native tree species may also reduce the risk of invasive species, which can be costly and difficult to remove. Policymakers and planners should consider the importance of incorporating native tree species into their plans to ensure a more sustainable and resilient of native tree species for both urban and rural natural environments.
