One of the most common public liver diseases over the world is fatty liver which contain alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver. One-fourth among general population are impact Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in the worldwide.Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) is known as an adipokine, mainly synthesized and secreted from the liver and form adipose tissues. RBP4 acts as a transporter and specifically bound to retinol from liver to others tissues. Visfatin is an adipocytokine and mainly produced from visceral fat tissue, skeletal muscles as well as liver. Vitamin A absorbed, transported as retinyl esters to the liver then hydrolyzed to the retinol form and storage in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) after reesterified with riglycerides. Hepatic retinyl esters are hydrolyzed to retinol and binds to its carrier RBP4 then transport to the target tissues. Methods: Ninety  serum blood samples were collected and distributed into three groups: First group (G1) contained of (34) patients of obese NAFLD. Second group (G2) contained of (26) non obese NAFLD and control patients (G3) contained of (30) patients. Ultrasound was used to confirm the diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease by examining the abdomen.

Authors: Gokhale Sanika , Kunte Sanket , Patil Krishna , Shah Rohan , Lakade Laxmi , Chaudhary Shweta
Published: September 2022

Dentigerous cyst is a type of odontogenic cysts and generally occurs in the ages of twenties or thirties. Dentigerous cyst always includes a tooth which cannot complete the eruption process and occurs around the crown by the fluid accumulation between the layers of enamel organ. In rare cases, dentigerous cyst occurs in the first decade of life and develops in an immature permanent tooth as a result of a chronic inflammation of overlying nonvital primary tooth. In this report, a case of dentigerous cyst in primary dentition in a 9-year-old child patient and its treatment were presented. The standardized treatment for a dentigerous cyst is enucleation and extraction of the involved tooth. In cases of larger cysts, an initial marsupialization to diminish the size of the osseous defect, followed by enucleation and tooth extraction, has been advocated. However, if the patient is a child and the cyst is small, removal of cystic lining followed by extraction of deciduous tooth usually results in disappearance of the cyst and preservation of the permanent tooth. When dealing with larger lesions, enucleation and tooth extraction have been favored. This can lead to functional, cosmetic, and psychologic consequences for the child.

Published: September 2022

Small-capacity refrigeration has got an increasing attention of the consumermarket. In addition to the efficiency of electric equipment, the demand forcompactness has also become a relevant requirement. Among thealternatives available to cool down small cabinets, mechanical vaporcompression refrigeration remains prominent due to its satisfactoryperformance when compared to other cooling technologies. Compressorindustries have invested in the development of compact and efficientproducts, exploring different compression principles for small-capacityapplications, as is the case of mini-rotary compressors. In this context, theobjective of the present work is to assess the thermodynamic performanceof a 38-liter portable vapor compression refrigeration system running withtwo different compressors designed for small-capacity applications: minirotaryand reciprocating. Experimental tests were carried out at threedifferent ambient temperatures (16, 25 and 32 °C) in order to obtain the keyperformance parameters for each compressor (e.g., power consumption,cooling capacity, internal air temperature, and the condensing andevaporating temperatures). Finally, thermodynamic analyses wereconducted to account for the internal and external irreversibilities by meansof second law efficiencies, allowing for a comparison of the systemperformance running with both compressors in the same thermodynamicgrounds. Albeit a refrigeration (second law) efficiency by 25% higher wasobserved for the reciprocating compressor, it provided a smaller coolingcapacity and, therefore, led to a higher pull-down time.

Published: September 2022

Nowadays, several scientific studies aim to improve the refrigeration systems commonly used to reduce the consumption of electric energy as well as the environmental impact caused by this equipment. However, it is desired that this be done together with increased efficiency and reduced production cost of the system. Absorption refrigeration systems offer this opportunity to save energy, as they can use thermal energy to produce, residual heat and geothermal energy as primary energy. In addition, they use very ecological working fluids, drawing the attention of the scientific academic world in recent decades. Currently, thermodynamic analyzes based on exergy are increasingly being implemented to calculate the performance of thermodynamic systems, where just considering COP as an efficiency parameter is no longer sufficient. The exergetic analysis takes into account the irreversibility of the system and can indicate which components need to be improved to have a better system performance. Taking this into account, this paper presents the modeling and exergetic optimization of an absorption refrigeration system that uses ammonia and water as working fluids. The thermodynamic model of the refrigerator was developed based on the principles of mass and energy conservation under the steady-state, and was implemented using the Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software. Regarding the performance of the modeled refrigerator, a value of COP = 0.4571. A parametric analysis of the system was carried out with the results obtained numerically from the proposed model, where the relevance of some operating parameters for the performance coefficient and the exergetic efficiency of the system was evaluated. An exergetic analysis of the system was also carried out, where it was shown that the generator and the absorber are responsible for 56.4% and 29.2%, respectively of the total destroyed exergy. Moreover, based on the proposed thermodynamic model, an exergetic optimization of the cooling system was performed based on parameters such as generator temperature and absorber pressure. Thus, it can be concluded that the model developed can be used as a useful tool in the study of absorption chillers possible to predict the impact on the system performance, taking into account various operating conditions.

Is the head of the investigative body the subject of criminal procedural evidence?
Authors: Махтюк Святослав Олегович
Published: September 2022

В статье автор анализирует содержание понятия субъекта уголовно-процессуального доказывания. Обозначена проблема отнесения тех или иных субъектов уголовного судопроизводства к субъектам доказывания. По результатам сопоставления различных точек зрения, присутствующих в науке уголовного процесса, делается вывод об отнесении к субъектам доказывания тех участников судопроизводства, которые выполняют хотя бы один элемент доказывания: собирание, проверку или оценку доказательств. Оспорена идея отнесения к полноправным субъектам доказывания лиц, не наделенных правом принятия процессуальных решений. Наличие такого права презюмируется в качестве обязательного обстоятельства для признания лица субъектом доказывания. Рассмотрены полномочия руководителя следственного органа как субъекта собирания, проверки и оценки доказательств. Сопоставлено содержание процессуального контроля руководителя, оценки им доказательств и принятия процессуальных решений. Обосновано предложение считать принятие процессуальных решений обязательным итогом оценки доказательств руководителем следственного органа и осуществления им процессуального контроля. Сделан вывод, согласно которому руководитель следственного органа является полноправным субъектом доказывания не только при принятии уголовного дела к производству, но и при осуществлении функций процессуального контроля и процессуального руководства.

In the article, the author analyzes the concept of the subject of criminal procedural proof. The problem of referring certain subjects of criminal proceedings to the subjects of proof is outlined. Based on the results of comparing the various points of view present in the science of the criminal process, it is concluded that those participants in the proceedings who perform at least one element of evidence: collecting, verifying or evaluating evidence are classified as subjects of proof. The article disputes the idea of classifying persons who are not entitled to make procedural decisions as full subjects of evidence. The existence of such a right is presumed as a mandatory circumstance for recognizing a person as a subject of evidence. The author considers the powers of the head of the investigative body as a subject of the collection, verification and assessment of evidence. The content of the procedural control of the head, his assessment of the evidence and the adoption of procedural decisions are compared. The proposal to consider the adoption of procedural decisions as a mandatory result of the assessment of evidence by the head of the investigative body and the exercise of procedural control by him is substantiated. The article concludes that the head of the investigative body is a full-fledged subject of evidence not only when accepting a criminal case for proceedings, but also when exercising the functions of procedural control and procedural guidance.

Published: September 2022

Several types of chemical bactericides have been used to control fire blight. However, their excessive usage leads to environmental deterioration. Therefore, several researchers have analyzed antagonistic microorganisms as promising, effective, and safe biological control agents (BCAs). The primary aim of this study was to screen for potential antagonistic bacteria that suppress Erwinia amylovora. Among the 45 isolates studied, 5 strains showed the largest inhibition zone against E. amylovora. 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified them as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (KPB 15), B. stratosphericus (KPB 21), B. altitudinis (KPB 25), B. safensis (KPB 31), and B. subtilis (KPB 39). KPB 25 and 31 reduced the lesion size of fire blight by 50% in immature apple fruits, and did not show antagonism against each other. Therefore, KPB 25 and 31 were selected to develop an antagonistic mixture against fire blight. Although the mixture with KPB 25 and 31 showed a slightly increased ability to reduce lesion size on immature fruits, they did not exhibit a synergistic effect in reducing E. amylovora population compared to each strain alone. Nevertheless, we have identified these two strains as useful and novel BCAs against fire blight with additional benefits safety and potential in developing a mixture without loss of their activity, owing to the absence of antagonism against each other.

Published: September 2022

This study explores the use of Social Networking Sites (SNS) as a performance-enhancing method of teaching and learning of English in the classroom via cell phones and mobile devices, as well as its effect on students' motivation to learn. A survey was disseminated to 176 students. The analysis showcases that Instagram is the most useful learning tool that students enjoy, and its use on mobile devices has the potential to become a significant teaching tool in the classroom. Because the most popular social networking sites, such as Instagram, are predominantly accessible via mobile devices, this is the case. Given that students currently utilize social networking sites to boost their learning informally, their acknowledgment of social networking sites as learning tools demonstrates their understanding of the learning potential given by technology.

Como Ler Weber em Português? Uma Proposta de Tradução Comparada das Obras Sobre Algumas Categorias da Sociologia Compreensiva (1913) e Conceitos Sociológicos Fundamentais (1921)
Authors: Sell Carlos Eduardo , Bolda Bruna dos Santos
Published: September 2022

Desde as primeiras publicações da Max Weber-Gesamtausgabe, a discussão sobre a tradução dos escritos de Weber adquiriu nova relevância: nos Estados Unidos, com Keith Tribe; na França, com Jean-Pierre Grossein; na Itália, com Michele Basso e Reinhard Schmidt; e no México, com Álvaro Laiz e Gill Villegas. Imbuídos pela mesma motivação de contribuir com o debate sobre as traduções do léxico weberiano no Brasil, propomos rediscutir a tradução canônica dos conceitos centrais de Sobre algumas categorias da Sociologia Compreensiva (texto publicado originalmente em 1913 e traduzido no Brasil por Augustin Wernet), à luz da análise comparativa com Conceitos Sociológicos Fundamentais (ensaio de 1921, tradução brasileira realizada por Regis e Karen Barbosa). Tendo em vista que o texto de 1921 é de uma versão aprimorada e atualizada, ao compararmos sua estrutura conceitual com a de 1913, propomos traduções que revelam a inter-relação entre os conceitos de mesmo nível em um e em outro texto.
Surveillance Capitalism in an Age of Neoliberal Rationality
Authors: Bricalli Iafet Leonardi
Published: September 2022

The Surveillance Capitalism concept explains the capitalist accumulation logic of large digital companies in tracking internet users, extracting personal data and in changing behavior. This article aims to question the concept from a perspective that considers the participation of internet users in their own surveillance. The proposed new approach results from the conception of neoliberalism as the rationality of the contemporary capitalism that requires a new subjective order anchored in the production of a society formed by enterprise units involved constantly in the development of their human capital to compete in social relationships in all spheres of existence. Accordingly, it is believed that the online surveillance conducted by the large corporations and the expropriation of the human experience that results is only one part of the story. The other part is the perpetual search for individuals performance in relationships with others and with themselves.

Authors: Kaushal Lovely , Goyal Swati , K. S. Vetrivel
Published: September 2022

Introduction– Obstructive uropathy is one of the most urgent clinical entities that has to be diagnosed and treated on time. Ultrasonography [USG] is cheap and easily accessible for determining the cause of obstructive uropathy. Magnetic Resonance Urography [MRU] has the potential to provide an excellent noninvasive examination of a wide range of urinary tract disorders, congenital anomalies and neoplasms without contrast administration.

Aims- To assess the role of USG in obstructive uropathy patients and compare its finding with MRU static fluid.

Design- Cross sectional study

Materials and methods- This study was conducted on all patients referred to the Radio-Diagnosis department with any clinically suspicious obstructive uropathy symptoms. They underwent USG KUB and those with confirmed obstructive uropathy, underwent static fluid MR urography.

Results- The study was conducted in 74 patients; 59.4% patients were males. Hydroureteronephrosis was the most common finding. MRU was superior to USG for diagnosis of stricture ureter and calculus in patients with obstructive uropathy. USG and MRI for diagnosis of VUJ, vesical, renal and pelvis calculus showed perfect agreement (κ=1; p=0.01); moderate for ureteric calculus (0.60-0.79; p less than 0.05) and minimal for ureteric stricture (0.21-0.39; p less than 0.05). MRU was superior in detailing PUJ obstruction as partial and complete.

Conclusions- Ultrasound as an initial investigation helped in finding the level and severity of urinary obstruction. However, MRU performed better, in whom ultrasound showed inadequate results. In case of malignant obstruction, it gave precise soft tissue details. MRU appears as a better tool in diagnosing both extrinsic and intrinsic causes of obstructive uropathy.
EXPLORING THE ATTRIBUTES OF OPEN PUBLIC SPACES IN THE DEVELOPING CITIES

Open Public Spaces, according to Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), are vital elements of urban fabrics that animate communities in cities. These significant spaces not only provide the residents with different facilities, but also promote social, economic, environmental and health opportunities. Successful open public spaces meet the needs of people of various social classes, ethnicities, and different backgrounds in general. Despite its importance within the city, the lack of appropriate design and planning strategies in developing cities have resulted in a degradation of the urban environment and subsequently the quality of urban life. The problem needs to be addressed with sensitivity to space as well as the people- its main users. The research, therefore, aims to explore the attributes of successful open public spaces that contributes to enhance the quality of public life from users’ perspective. The research focuses on one case study: Horsh Al-Sanawbar, Beirut, Lebanon, which is perceived as the largest green public space in the heart of Beirut, where it plays a significant role in enhancing the public quality within the city. The paper argues that open public space dimensions consist of several attributes that makes an open public space successful, where these spaces can act as catalysts for enhancing the quality of life within the developing city. To prove this hypothesis, the paper adopts a qualitative approach, first, through desk research for defining the main keyword, and examining data from previous works and articles on the same topic wrote by various architects, urban planners, and theorists. Second a field methodology will be supported by questionnaire survey, walking interviews, and onsite observations regarding the four key attributes of successful open public spaces that are: physical, social, functional, and perceptual attributes. The author finally suggests a series of dimensions found in the design and development of open public spaces, that will contribute to create a design guideline for using the attributes in achieving better open public spaces.

This paper reports the first genetic diversity analysis of Philippine traditional maize populations performed through a cost-effective DNA pooling strategy. The diversity among selected 100 traditional maize populations collected from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao was evaluated using twenty simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers at the Institute of Plant Breeding, University of the Philippines Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines. A total of 138 bands ranging from two to 12 bands per primer were detected. The average number of polymorphic alleles, polymorphism rate, effective multiplex ratio, marker index, resolving power, and expected heterozygosity are 6.283, 87.17%, 5.798, 4.104, 15.897, and 0.658, respectively. The polymorphism information content (PIC) varied between 0.141 to 0.848, with an average value of 0.620. A dendrogram was constructed with a dissimilarity coefficient ranging from 0.14 to 0.55 and a mean dissimilarity index of 0.425. Cluster analysis revealed 13 groups based on the result of Approximately Unbiased (AU) p-values from 10,000 bootstrap iterations. The cluster analysis enabled the classification of populations with ambiguous places of origin. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed higher within-population diversity (70%) than among-population diversity (30%) with PhiPT (pairwise genetic differentiation metric) of 0.298 (P = 0.001). These results revealed the significant diversity of traditional maize populations in the Philippines and the power of SSR markers in diversity and cluster analyses despite the age of this marker technology. These findings will aid plant breeders in developing approaches towards knowledgeable and efficient execution of breeding programs using traditional maize populations.

Weedy rice can severely impact rice production through yield reduction because of its competitive ability to reduce growth resources for cultivated rice. The characteristic weedy traits have made weedy rice very challenging to manage as they have the same agro-morphological characteristics with cultivated rice. The study examined the relationships between selected cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars, weedy rice biotypes, and wild rice collected from different locations in the Philippines, using simple sequence repeat markers. Cluster analysis, using UPGMA, enabled the genetic differentiation and relationships examination of the test materials. Subgroups of 13 with at least two biotypes formed 100% similarity based on post-harvest data, with the cultivated rice cultivars forming one subgroup. With polymorphic SSR markers, five major clusters range from three (group I) to 62 biotypes (group III). There was 100% similarity observed for 15 subgroups ranging from two to 10 biotypes. The wild rice cultivars formed species-specific groupings. Subgroups with 100% similarity came from the same province; likewise, one with 100% similarity came from both Iloilo and Batangas; and still another from cultivated rice cultivar and weedy rice biotype from Pangasinan. The possible relationships of weedy rice biotypes with wild rice relatives (>65% similarity) include two biotypes related to Oryza minuta, one for O. meyeriana, and 22 biotypes for O. rufipogon. Concerning cultivated rice cultivars, high similarity (>80%) was observed in 22 biotypes closely related to PSB Rc 82, 13 biotypes to NSIC Rc 222, six to NSIC Rc 160, three biotypes each to NSIC Rc 215, NSIC Rc 152, NSIC Rc 64, NSIC Rc 18, and NSIC Rc 10, and one biotype each to IR64 and NSIC Rc 14.

A recent study in 2019-2020 assessed the productivity, the quality of fatty and essential oils, and the mineral composition of eight nigella genotypes at the Federal State Budget Scientific Institution (FSBSI), Research Institute of Agriculture of Crimea, Simferopol, Russia. Of the eight genotypes, two cultivars originated from Crimea, Russia (Nigella sativa cv. ‘Krymchanka,’ and Nigella damascena cv. ‘Yalita’), and one each from six European-Asian countries, i.e., Dagestan, Uzbekistan, and Sweden (Nigella sativa), Pakistan and India (Nigella indica), and Belgium (Nigella damascena). The Russian nigella genotypes served as control. Genotypes from three European-Asian countries (Sweden, Pakistan, and Dagestan) distinguished from the rest by their highest seed productivity, i.e., 1.0-1.6 g plant-1, which was 1.7-2.7 times higher than the control cultivar ‘Krymchanka.’ The seed productivity of the genotype N. damascena cv. ‘Yalita’ control was 1.5 times greater than the nigella genotype from Belgium. The N. indica produced the highest fatty oil content (29.9%), which exceeded two other species, i.e., N. sativa and N. damascena by 16%–22%. Fatty oils of nigella also contained essential oils of 0.5% for N. sativa and 1.2% for N. damascena. The essential oil of N. sativa contained dominant components, such as, p-cymene (53.5%) and thymoquinone (19.2%), while N. damascena contained p-cymol (82.2%) and other principal components. The identified samples with the maximum accumulation of fatty and essential oils, and macro and microelements can be used to treat and replenish the deficient elements in the human body. Nigella genotype samples exhibited high accumulation of microelements, viz., potassium, calcium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, and molybdenum in the leaves and seeds.

Climate change increases the drought-affected areas, which challenge the breeders to develop adaptive and drought-tolerant rice cultivars. The study aimed to determine heritability, and gene action controlling of various traits in upland rice F4 populations derived from the cross, Sileso (high yielding and drought tolerant) × Ciherang (early maturing), and to obtain high-yielding and early-maturing rice lines. The upland rice F4 populations, along with parental and check cultivars, were planted in augmented design from July to November 2021 at the Faculty of Agriculture, Samudra University, Langsa, Indonesia. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among the check cultivars for the traits, such as, panicle length, productive tillers, filled grains per panicle, and grain yield per plant. The F4 population families revealed significant differences for the maturity, filled grain per panicle, and grain yield per plant, which confirmed greater genetic diversity, and proved potential to produce the best lines. The check vs. family interactions also exhibited significant differences for all the characters. Results revealed high heritability for the traits, i.e., maturity, filled grain per panicle, and grain yield per plant. The inheritance of all the characters was controlled by the additive gene action. Inheritance of the majority of the traits was polygenic except plant height and productive tillers. The selected and promising upland rice F4 populations revealed reduced plant height, maturity, and increased yield per plant compared with its rice parental cultivar ‘Sileso’.
