Published: July 2020

The nature endowed with hidden resources of biodiversity comprises of various flora and fauna. The indigenous knowledge about the ethnobotanicals is vital for the conservation of traditional medicine as well as for future research. The documentation of indigenous medicine through botanical studies is also one of the aspects of the conservation and utilization of biodiversity. Kerala has many diverse ethnic tribal communities, and they are still following the traditional system of healing with the help of various biological resources. Each tribal communities have different lifestyles, and they are distributed in the various parts of Kerala. The tribals possess a traditional knowledge of uses of medicinal plants and employ different plants for curing diseases and infections. But, this valuable information is not documented properly. The tribal communities, along with their knowledge, have been diminishing due to the vanishing of forests as well as rapid modernization. But, the proper documentation and utilization of indigenous knowledge of tribes about the diverse medicinal plants will be useful for the development of novel drugs. Hence, we have attempted for the documentation of valuable tribal knowledge on medicinal plants, which would potentially serve as a useful reference for future researches. This article provides the list of plants used by the selected primitive tribal group of Kerala such as Kani, and Kurichiyar to treat various diseases.
Air Pollution – A Problematic Issue

Published: July 2020

Air pollution is considered as a universal issue with consequences varying from the deaths of people and plants to declining crop yields and damaged buildings. “Poems that clean the air we breathe could help tackle pollution.” This paper presents a new poem about air pollution. This paper also indicates that most of the poems in the area of air pollution are embodied in magazines/ websites rather than academic journals. Hence, the present author hopes to find more poems in academic journals in the future about air pollution and related sciences.
Inequalities in Farm Sector Labour Force in India
Authors: Chakraborty Sonali
Published: July 2020

The back bone of the rural economy in India is the farm sector or agricultural sector. It also contributes an overall economic and social development towards the nation. Farm activities include agriculture (crop production), plantation, animal husbandry (milk, meat, egg, etc.), forestry & logging, and fishing. In India, the lion share of the labor force is engaged in the farm sector(Pal and Dutta.Though the female labor force participation is typically low in our country, their share in agriculture is commendable and not decreasing as it has been noticed in all other sectors in the recent past. But whether this participation in true sense is in gain full economic activities is to be looked into. Wage discrimination, stereotyping of works, working hours are some inequalities that females are facing at the workplace. In this analysis, an attempt has been made to see the inequality in malefemale participation in farm sectors. Their wage differentials in rural-urban sectors, in different states, have been computed following NIC(National Industry Classification) and NCO(National Classification of occupation) using unit-level data of NSS(National Sample Survey,68th round 2011-12 and Periodiclabour force survey, 2017-18). From preliminary observations, it is noted that there is an increase of rural females as market-oriented crops producers or animal producers and related workers from 2011-12 to 2017-18. The NIC gives the industry-specific picture, where they mainly engaged in mixed farming, plant propagation, post-harvest activities along with perennial and non-perennial crop production. Reduction in a rural male in all these industries is noted as an opposite criterion. In both the rural and urban sectors, gender inequalities persist in wages in almost all NIC activities. Some exceptions like raising of cattle, supporting activities for crop production, fresh water aquaculture, growing of bush fruits and nuts where average earnings of females are a little bit higher than male workers working as either casual labor or regular waged salaried person.

Authors: Demuyakor John
Published: July 2020

Ghana has deployed high-speed technology and digital initiatives for the daily management of all the sectors of the country under the theme ‘’Ghana Go Digital Agenda’’ policy initiative. These digital governance initiatives include the electronic or digital-health care systems, e-justice system paperless clearing of goods at port-banking, and other online services. Paramount among the many digital initiatives is the introduction of drones for emergency digital health delivery. Access to medical supplies in Ghana has been hindered by the difficulty of getting the supplies from the central points to other areas that are remotely located to enable the patients who need the services to get them. To overcome this challenge and deliver affordable and accessible health care services to the Ghanaian populace, the Government of Ghana engaged a US-based company Zipline Technology to use Drones in the supply of medical supplies for emergencies and hard-to-reach areas of the country. Since the introduction of this initiative in 2019, it has attracted mix-reactions from various stakeholders on the relevance of the drone technology project on health delivery in Ghana. This study used the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to assess drone technology’s impact on Ghana’s emergency health delivery system. The study utilized an online survey questionnaire to solicit data from participants. From the hundred (100) health facilities, located within the operational zone of the drone, twenty (20) were purposively sampled. Out of 550 questionnaires distributed, a total of 533 health workers (participants) validly responded to the online questionnaire. One key finding of our study indicates that the introduction of drone technology for medical supplies in Ghana has significantly impacted positively on the emergency health delivery system in Ghana.
Como Era Gostoso o Meu Francês e Iracema, a virgem dos lábios de mel: a mulher indígena no cinema
Authors: Carvalho Vívian , Neves Ivânia
Published: July 2020

Este artigo analisa como as obras cinematográficas Como Era Gostoso o Meu Francês (1971) e Iracema, a virgem dos lábios de mel (1979) constroem as personagens indígenas de suas tramas. Tendo como base teórica-metodológica os preceitos arqueológicos desenvolvidos por Michel Foucault, investigamos os discursos materializados nas personagens indígenas Seboipepe e Iracema. Para isto, identificamos as regularidades e dispersões entre os enunciados presentes nessas duas produções fílmicas e as formações discursivas que eles compõem. Compreendemos que essas obras cinematográficas colocam em circulação diferentes discursos sobre as mulheres indígenas brasileiras. Esses discursos estão inseridos em redes de memórias historicamente construídas e que têm suas bases alicerçadas no século XVI, época em que os portugueses chegaram ao Brasil e objetivaram o corpo e a identidade dessas nativas. A partir da análise das condições de possibilidades históricas dos discursos compreendemos também que o período da Ditadura Militar foi bastante propício para que Como Era Gostoso o Meu Francês e Iracema, a virgem dos lábios de mel se irrompessem nas telas do cinema brasileiro.

Authors: Carmo Carlos Eduardo Oliveira do
Published: July 2020

Este artigo apresenta a “bipedia compulsória”, conceito em desenvolvimento pelo autor, como uma estrutura social, política, econômica e cultural que determina padrões excludentes pautados na normatividade do corpo, subjugando e inferiorizando as potencialidades da pessoa com deficiência, tomadas por incapazes e inaptas. Estabelece diálogos com autores da Teoria Crip, que compreende a deficiência em seus aspectos históricos e culturais, em contraposição ao modelo social. Observa o fenômeno da “bipedia compulsória” pelo viés da Dança, trazendo uma análise dos espetáculos “Striptease-Bicho” e “O Corpo Perturbador”, que abordam o devoteísmo – fetiche pela deficiência – associando-o a determinados comportamentos hierárquicos recorrentes na Dança e nas relações sociais estabelecidas com as pessoas com deficiência. Entende tais relações pautadas pelo pensamento abissal (SANTOS, 2010), que determina diferenciações entre corpos  aptos ou não para dançar.

This study aims to determine the views of physics and non-physics teachers on the challenges and opportunities of education now and in the future, namely the entry of Indonesia in industry 4.0. Education is not a simple thing that we can ignore because basically education is the basis of the formation of a character. Countries are said to be developed if the quality of human resources possessed is high quality. In this study we used a participatory qualitative research method. The instrument used was a questionnaire response to the challenges and educational opportunities which amounted to 25 statements and was given to 10 educators in West Java. The results of this study indicate the profile of respondents' responses to educational challenges and opportunities is varied and the indicator profile of educational challenges and opportunities is at 70%. This study concludes that the level of educator response to the nature of education is quite low at 70%. The most dominant aspects of challenges and opportunities include the role of globalization and technological development. This study recommends that teachers improve the individual quality of each student and the placement of learning systems that are compatible with the education system in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0.

The Conditions of 'Savages'? Statelessness, Politics, and Race in Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism
Authors: Bot Michiel
Published: July 2020

This article explores the ways in which race enters our analyses of statelessness when we build those analyses (partly) on Hannah Arendt’s arguments in ‘Imperialism’. Through close readings of Arendt’s ambivalent use of race in this text, the article demonstrates that critically confronting Arendt’s repeated comparison of stateless people to ‘barbarians’ and ‘savages’ is useful for confronting the connections between statelessness, politics and race in the present. The article argues that such a critical confrontation can yield three things. First, the realisation that thinking through the politics enacted by de jure or de facto stateless people who have been forced to live in the conditions of ‘savages’ requires that we situate this politics within the history of imperialism and post-colonialism. Second, an awareness of the need to consider the connections between the political production of statelessness and the political production of race. And third, the realisation that an effective politics of people who have been forced into de jure or de facto statelessness must include a politics of anti-racism.
Mapping Minorities’ Vulnerability to Hate Speech and Denationalisation with a Focus on East and Southeast Asia
Authors: Berényi Katalin
Published: July 2020

This paper explores whether minority groups are more vulnerable to hate speech, human rights violations, denationalisation and mass atrocities in light of the deliberate lack of state protection through the lens of recent incidents in East and Southeast Asia. The paper also examines the roleof social media giant Facebook in spreading hate speech online and whether it may have had any liabilities in relation to the hateful posts that were spread online against the Rohingyas in Myanmar and, more recently, against the Muslim minorities living in the State of Assam in India. The paper concludes by (1) advising policy-makers to adopt and implement strong anti-hate speech laws, clearly criminalising both online and offline hate speech on the national level, as well as to (2) refrain from denationalising minority groups leaving them stateless or at the risk of statelessness and thus avoid instrumentalising nationality for political gains
Feminist Foresight in Statelessness: Century-Old Citizenship Equality Campaigns
Authors: Brennan Deirdre
Published: July 2020

It may have appeared to many working in the statelessness sector, or those campaigning against gender discriminatory nationality laws, that until the launch of the Global Campaign for Equal Nationality Rights in 2014, efforts to eradicate such laws were largely only coordinated on a national level. This article, however, uncovers a hidden period in statelessness history: the citizenship equality campaigns of the early 1900s. Through an exploration of these campaigns, their vibrant tactics and eccentric characters, this article provides a feminist revisionist history of statelessness activism and academia that aims to adjust dominant narratives in contemporary statelessness literature.
‘Rainbow Statelessness’ — Between Sexual Citizenship and Legal Theory: Exploring the Statelessness–LGBTIQ+ Nexus
Authors: McGee Thomas
Published: July 2020

This article responds to the literature gap within both discourses on ‘sexual citizenship’ and statelessness studies on the nexus between statelessness and sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics (‘SOGIESC’). It explores the intersectional experiences of stateless lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer plus (‘LGBTIQ+’) individuals as well as circumstances in which discrimination on SOGIESC grounds can cause statelessness for LGBTIQ+ persons or their children. In addition to rare reports of arbitrary deprivation of citizenship from LGBTIQ+ persons, the non-recognition of post-transition statuses and intersex realities may lead to situations of statelessness. Finally, complex legislation and administrative practices around assisted reproductive technology — and especially international commercial surrogacy — can leave children born within ‘rainbow families’ at particular risk of statelessness. In arguing that a global nexus does indeed exist between SOGIESC and statelessness, this article calls for further empirical research in order to provide greater nuance and context-specific understandings of the intersectional experiences and causes of statelessness for LGBTIQ+ individuals around the world.
Identifying the ‘Outsider’: An Assessment of Foreigner Tribunals in the Indian State of Assam
Authors: Rahman Talha Abdul
Published: July 2020

The State of Assam in the Union of India has a peculiar history of the movement of people from across India’s international borders into Assam. There is no credible way to arrive at specific numbers. Arrival of people in Assam has become a point that has been abused by those in power to utilise local sentiments regarding the dilution of ‘Assamese culture’. This article briefly discusses the timelines leading up to the preparation of the Assam’s National Register of Citizens that presently excludes approximately 1.9 million residents. The citizenship status of those excluded is to be determined by Foreigners Tribunals (‘FT’) functioning under the Foreigners Act, 1946 — a post-Second World War and pre-Constitution legislation whose validity is also in doubt. This article examines the Foreigners Act, 1946, as well as the constitution and performance of the FTs with reference to the yardsticks of the rule of law and constitutional values. Towards this end, the article analyses the law discernible from the judgments of the Indian Courts as well as some judgments of the Assam High Court and the FTs. It concludes by stating that the framework of adjudication by FTs is not able to keep up with the promise of effective adjudication under the Constitution of India. It calls for an urgent need for academic scrutiny of all aspects of the citizenship verification process in India.

The proposed system is a decentralized authentic platform that aims to leverage blockchain along with other technologies to design a trusted framework which would enable charity donations to be as accountable, trustworthy and transparent. The paper explores the potential for deploying blockchain within existing organizations to support smooth conduction of charity funds from the donor to the actual needy person using a stable Ethereum based Blockchain oriented platform. In this fast developing world of modernization, some people are becoming too competitive to earn money while others have no clue about getting even a penny. But at the same time, there exist people who wish to contribute to the society out of altruism. There exist many online donation platforms in the world and yet issues concerning extra fees, accountability and processing delay still exist as well as these existing centralized systems for charities are so corrupt that people lose belief in these trustless systems and hence the charities become futile. This paper explores how the blockchain can be leveraged in the philanthropic sector, through charitable donation services via a web- based donor platform.

Green buildings are relatively new in the construction industry, especially in Kenya and serious questions regarding their maintenance beg answers as little has been documented. This study therefore, sought to assess the impact of maintenance factors on sustainability of green buildings in Nairobi County. A survey to investigate; maintenance problems, maintenance policies, maintenance strategies and maintenance management tools/techniques in relation to sustainability of green buildings was delimited to a sample size of 25 LEED certified buildings in Nairobi County and 86 registered green building practitioners. The survey achieved 53% response rate and data analysis was carried out using a quantitative approach. The findings indicate that, the maintenance strategy variable seemed not to have a significant relationship with the outcome variable, hence it was dropped from the model. The final logistic regression model shows that, the odds for sustainability of green buildings are 1.44, 3.72 and 2.89 times higher when there is proper management of maintenance problems, adequate maintenance policies and proper maintenance management tools/techniques respectively, holding all other factors constant. The results highlighted the need of a paradigm shift in maintenance management of green buildings hence, the proposed framework in figure 2 that will enable maintenance personnel to execute their work in an efficient manner. From an academic perspective, the findings contribute to the pool of knowledge available in the area of green buildings maintenance.

Postmodernidad, tecnología y comunicación humana
Authors: Souza y Machorro Mario
Published: July 2020

El vínculo postmodernidad tecnológica/comunicación humana tiene en los mass-media, la TV, el cine, el internet y sus derivados; en las publicaciones sin censura y en la publicidad, herramientas de distorsión educativa y de salud comunitarias. La postmodernidad impacta en la organización social y en la cultura con su dicotomía de racionalismo vs. irracionalismo. La visión kantiana de la ciencia, la moral y el arte en pro de una sociedad más justa, libre y feliz, se desmorona en el intento de «superar la modernidad».La sociedad cibernética burocratiza e impide la libertad del hombre. Los mass media y la sociedad de la comunicación no han generado una sociedad más «transparente» o consciente de sí misma, sino más compleja y caótica. Las dicotomías sujeto-objeto y público-privado hacen al individuo ajeno a su vida, un elemento de ciencia ficción, inmerso en un proceso virtual que lo desplaza a mundos electrónicos. En el éxtasis de la comunicación el medio predomina con su dispersión sobre el mensaje; el saber científico se orienta al desarrollo tecnológico y al poder, destacando su aspecto lingüístico, que no impide que cada vez más se hable y se escriba peor. El impacto de los mass media impulsa conductas antisociales y una «búsqueda de sensaciones intensas», para aplacar estados emocionales derivados del vacío existencial, de la frustración e insatisfacción vital de ciertas poblaciones.La persistencia de la divulgación enajenante, alienadora de la autoconciencia y falseadora de la realidad, no fomenta el desarrollo de una función personal, vincular y social saludables.
Fusion of Elliptical Extended Object Estimates Parameterized with Orientation and Axes Lengths
Authors: Thormann Kolja , Baum Marcus
Published: July 2020

This article considers the fusion of target estimates stemming from multiple sensors, where the spatial extent of the targets is incorporated. The target estimates are represented as ellipses parameterized with center orientation and semi-axis lengths and width. Here, the fusion faces challenges such as ambiguous parameterization and an unclear meaning of the Euclidean distance between such estimates. We introduce a novel Bayesian framework for random ellipses based on the concept of a Minimum Mean Gaussian Wasserstein (MMGW) estimator. The MMGW estimate is optimal with respect to the Gaussian Wasserstein (GW) distance, which is a suitable distance metric for ellipses. We develop practical algorithms to approximate the MMGW estimate of the fusion result. The key idea is to approximate the GW distance with a modified version of the Square Root (SR) distance. By this means, optimal estimation and fusion can be performed based on the square root of the elliptic shape matrices. We analyze different implementations using, e.g., Monte Carlo methods, and evaluate them in simulated scenarios. An extensive comparison with state-of-the-art methods highlights the benefits of estimators tailored to the Gaussian Wasserstein distances.

Authors: Shaheen Najma , Jan Mir Rooh , Khan Saghir , Riaz Shazia
Published: July 2020

Background: Long-term survivors of childhood malignancies are at increased risk of experiencing treatment-related morbidities. Survival into late adulthood in these children provides ample time for the acquisition of long-term sequelae. This study aimed to determine late adverse effects among long-term survivors of childhood cancer from a low-income country perspective. Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from review of charts of patients aged under 18 years at the time of their primary diagnosis between January 1, 1995, to December 31, 2008, and who survived for at least 5 years after completion of their treatment. Analyzed data included demographics, cancer type, treatment modality, types of chemotherapy agents administered and specific late morbidities including frequency of azoospermia, oligospermia, endocrine abnormalities, hearing and pulmonary function impairment, and cardiac dysfunction among the long-term survivors of cancer. Results: The total number of patients was 300 with a mean age of 18 ± 2 years. The male to female ratio was 2.7:1. Median follow up duration was 18 years (range: 5-25 years). Seventy-seven percent of patients were from Punjab, 20% were from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 3% were from other provinces. Fifty percent had a diagnosis of Hodgkin Lymphoma, 17% Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, 13% Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, 10% Germ cell tumors and 10% had other tumors. Fifty-seven percent received chemotherapy, 23% chemotherapy and radiotherapy, 15% chemotherapy and surgery, 3% chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy and 2% had only surgery. Notable long-term documented sequelae were; azoospermia/oligospermia in 64%, endocrine abnormalities in 25% with hypothyroidism in 13.5% and follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone abnormalities in 11.5%, ototoxicity in 6.5%, impaired pulmonary function tests in 4.6%, cardiotoxicity in 2.4% and second malignancies (acute myeloid Leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome)  in 1%. Conclusion: Childhood cancer survivors are at increased risk of adverse treatment-related sequelae and a long-term follow-up plan should be in place in centers where they receive treatment for their primary disease.

Biotremology in arthropods
Authors: Cividini Sofia , Montesanto Giuseppe
Published: July 2020

Effective communication is essential in animal life to allow fundamental behavioral processes and survival. Communicating by surface-borne vibrations is likely the most ancient mode of getting and exchanging information in both invertebrates and vertebrates. In this review, we concentrate on the use of vibrational communication in arthropods as a form of intraspecific and interspecific signaling, with a focus on the newest discoveries from our research group in terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea), a taxon never investigated before in this context. After getting little attention in the past, biotremology is now an emerging field of study in animal communication, and it is receiving increased interest from the scientific community dealing with these behavioral processes. In what follows, we illustrate the general principles and mechanisms on which biotremology is based, using definitions, examples, and insights from the literature in arthropods. Vibrational communication in arthropods has mainly been studied in insects and arachnids. For these taxa, much evidence of its use as a source of information from the surrounding environment exists, as well as its involvement in many behavioral roles, such as courtship and mating, conspecific recognition, competition, foraging, parental care, and danger perception. Recently, and for the first time, communication through surface-borne waves has been studied in terrestrial isopods, using a common Mediterranean species of the Armadillidae family as a pilot species,Armadillo officinalisDuméril, 1816. Mainly, for this species, we describe typical behavioral processes, such as turn alternation, aggregation, and stridulation, where vibrational communication appears to be involved.
Sample-size determination for the Bayesian t test and Welch’s test using the approximate adjusted fractional Bayes factor
Authors: Fu Qianrao , Hoijtink Herbert , Moerbeek Mirjam
Published: July 2020

When two independent means μ1 and μ2 are compared, H0 : μ1 = μ2, H1 : μ1≠μ2, and H2 : μ1 > μ2 are the hypotheses of interest. This paper introduces the package , which can be used to determine the sample size needed to evaluate these hypotheses using the approximate adjusted fractional Bayes factor (AAFBF) implemented in the package . Both the Bayesian t test and the Bayesian Welch’s test are available in this package. The sample size required will be calculated such that the probability that the Bayes factor is larger than a threshold value is at least η if either the null or alternative hypothesis is true. Using the package and/or the tables provided in this paper, psychological researchers can easily determine the required sample size for their experiments.
Facile Synthesis of 7-Alkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-[1,8]-naphthyridines as Arginine Mimetics Using a Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons Based Approach
Authors: Lippa Rhys A , Murphy John A , Barrett Tim
Published: July 2020

Integrin inhibitors based on the tripeptide sequence Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) are potential therapeutics for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Herein, we describe an expeditious three-step synthetic sequence of Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons olefination, diimide reduction and global deprotection to synthesise cores for these compounds in high yields (63–83% over 3 steps) with no need for chromatography. Key to this transformation is the phosphoramidate protecting group, which is stable to metalation steps.

Bounds for the right spectral radius of quaternionicmatrices
Authors: Ali I.
Published: July 2020

UDC 517.5 
In this paper  we present bounds for the sum of the moduli of right eigenvalues of a quaternionic matrix. As a consequence, we obtain bounds for the right spectral radius of a quaternionic matrix. We also present a minimal ball in 4D spaces which contains all the Gersgorin balls of a quaternionic matrix. As an application, we introduce the estimation for the right ˇ eigenvalues of quaternionic matrices in the minimal ball. Finally, we suggest some numerical examples to illustrate of our results.

Perfüzyonist: Geleceğin Mesleği Olabilir
Authors: AMAÇ Bişar
Published: July 2020

Perfüzyon kelimesi Fransızca kökenli bir kelime olup ''perfuse'' kelimesinden türemiştir ve bir şey üzerine dökmek, akıtmak ve boşaltmak anlamlarına gelmektedir. Perfüzyon ayrıca hücre, organ ve dokuların beslenmesine de denir. Perfüzyonist; ekstrakorporeal (vücut dışı) dolaşım sisteminin yönetiminden sorumlu profesyonel bir sağlık lisansiyeridir. Bugün dünyada ve ülkemizde en çok ölüme neden olan hastalıkların başında kalp hastalıkları gelmektedir. Kalp hastalıklarındaki artış ve gelişen teknoloji ile perfüzyon teknolojine de daha fazla ihtiyaç duyulacaktır. Ülkemizde her yıl artan sayıda perfüzyonist ihtiyacı oluşmaktadır. Ayrıca teknolojideki gelişmeler ile perfüzyonistlere yeni roller oluşacaktır. Bu anlamda perfüzyonistlik, yakın gelecekte Türkiye'de önemli bir iş alanı olacak gibi görünmektedir.

La transformación del índex en el cine en la era digital: análisis de la cinematografía de las películas The Matrix y The Matrix Reloaded
Authors: Castellanos Cerda Vicente
Published: July 2020

Regularmente, los debates acerca del estatuto de la imagen cinematográfica y su relación con el mundo representado, siempre han iniciado con un detallado estudio de la fotografía, pues como afirmó en 1945 André Bazin “la fotografía y el cine son invenciones que satisfacen definitivamente y en su esencia misma la obsesión del realismo” (Bazin, 2001,p 26). Un realismo vinculado al registro de la huella luminosa del que resulta el efecto de realidad de la imagen cinematográfica.

Este estudio pretende incorporar al debate de la comprensión del fenómeno cinematográfico un punto de vista semiológico, estético y comunicativo que tiene una triple condición sígnica: sonora, visual y técnica.
