Published: September 2023

The exponential growth of scientific data has led to an increasing demand for effective data management and storage solutions. Academic computing infrastructures are often fragmented, which can make it challenging for researchers to leverage cloud-native principles and modern data analysis tools. To address this challenge, a new distributed storage platform called Aruna Object Storage (AOS) was developed. AOS is a cloud-native, scalable, and domain-agnostic object storage system that provides an S3-compatible interface for a variety of data analysis tools like Apache Spark, TensorFlow, and Pandas. The system uses an underlying distributed NewSQL database to manage detailed information about its resources and can be deployed across multiple data centers for geo-redundancy. AOS is designed to support modern DataOps practices, including the adoption of FAIR principles. Resources in AOS are organized into Objects, Datasets, Collections and Projects, which represent relations of data objects. Additionally, these can be further annotated with key-value pairs called Labels and Hooks to provide additional information about the data. The system's event-driven architecture makes it easy to automate actions and enforce data validation checks, significantly improving accessibility and reproducibility of scientific results. AOS is open source and freely available via https://aruna-storage.org.

The increasing amount of data generated by scientific research poses the challenge of providing an adequate infrastructure and tools that facilitate FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) data access, manipulation, analysis and visualization. Often, the burden of managing the metadata associated with the original data and the analysis lies with the researchers. 
The open source Galaxy platform [1] is well-known for supplying tools and workflows for reproducible and transparent data analysis across scientific disciplines. It is a multi-user environment which facilitates sharing of e.g. tools, workflows, notebooks, visualizations, and data with others. There are three large Galaxy instances (US, Europe [2] and Australia) used by hundreds of thousands of researchers worldwide and that are using PBs of data. Galaxy handles the metadata transparently, releasing scientists from the burden and making it less prone to human errors. These features can be used without technical background by using a web browser or, for experts, through the Galaxy API.

Published: September 2023

The present study prepared Dendrobium officinale flower oligosaccharides and investigated their added value in vitro. The crude oligosaccharides obtained by water extraction and alcohol precipitation were purified by ultrafiltration, and the value-added effects of different concentrations of D. officinale flower oligosaccharides on Saccharomycetes, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Streptococcus thermophilus were examined. The in vitro growth kinetic models for the three types of probiotics were established according to the logistic equation. Our results showed that a concentration of 8 g/L D. officinale flower oligosaccharides was most suitable for promoting the growth of the three types of probiotics, and the growth rates were significantly improved compared to the control group. Nonlinear fitting was performed for the in vitro growth kinetic models of the three bacteria according to the logistic equation, and the degrees of fit reached 0.9895, 0.9899, and 0.99, respectively, indicating a good fit. These kinetic models suitably depicted the in vitro growth processes of the three bacteria. D. officinale flower oligosaccharides promote the growth of Saccharomycetes, L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus and improve the physiological activities of these microorganisms. This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of D. officinale flower oligosaccharides in the development of probiotic products.

Вхождение армянской легенды в европейскую историко-литературную традицию
Authors: Карагёзян Гоар
Published: September 2023

Many European chroniclers included in their narrations the legend of the Tatar Khan and the Armenian king’s daughter, who gave birth to a monster, which, as a result of baptism, turned into a beautiful baby, prompting the Khan and the people to accept Christianity. Mainly the same elements constitute the plot of the legend. However, their correlations and combinations change in individual chronicles and annals, as well as in the chivalric novel "The King of Tars". The narrative is often augmented with supplementary events, such as the capture of Jerusalem by the Tatar Khan, the expulsion of the Saracens from Jerusalem, the capture of Aleppo, Damascus, and other cities by the combined armies of the Tatars, Armenian and Georgian kings. The main source of such additions, brought into the plot, was the well-known history by Hethum "La Flor des es-toires de la Terre d'Orient", to which Giovanni Villani refers as well, recommending the book by monk Hayton, written upon the commission of Pope Clement V, to get acquainted with the deeds of the Mongols. As for the Armenian trace of this legend in the European historical-literary tradition, there are obvious parallels between the plots of the first branch of "David of Sassoun" and the legends, concerning the story of the Armenian king's daughter, given in marriage to a non-Christian, which circulated in the West. Veselovsky's excerpt, cited from an Armenian folk poem called "The Lament of Susanna", which he had taken from the collection of "Armenian Popular Songs" published by G. Alishan, is fully consistent with the first part of the legend spread in the West.
Algeria’s "Hirak" Movement (2019): Achievments and Faillures
Authors: Gasparyan Aram
Published: September 2023

The Hirak protest movement in Algeria began in February 2019, sparked by wide-spread anger and frustration over the government's handling of the country's economic and political situation. The protests were initially triggered by President Abd al-Aziz Boutef-lika's announcement that he would seek a fifth term in office despite his advanced age and declining health. The Algerian people had long been dissatisfied with the ruling elite and the govern-ment's perceived corruption, economic mismanagement, and lack of political freedom. The Hirak movement was a response to these grievances, and it quickly grew into a massive protest movement that brought together people from all walks of life, including students, professionals, workers, and retirees. The protesters called for an end to the Bouteflika regime and demanded an overhaul of the country's political system. The movement was peaceful and largely decentralized, with no clear leaders or formal organization. One of the important points of the paper is the position of the Algerian authorities, particularly the army, the structure that has real power in the country. Along with the progress and development of the opposition movement, the tactics of the authorities changed too. The Algerian political elite chose a tactic appropriate to the moment to maintain their position, influence and wishing to prevent the situation from escalating at the same time.

Published: September 2023

In the ever-changing modern world, Pakistani healthcare and educational organizations must find a way to draw and keep top talent while still providing outstanding services. The research investigates the effects on employee retention of a number of employer branding factors, such as pay, job security, authority, work-life balance, corporate social responsibility, and brand reputation. The mediating role of organizational identity is taken into account in order to fully evaluate this relationship and offer insights into the overall impact of these variables on staff retention within Pakistani firms that operate in the healthcare and education sectors, 130 employees make up the research sample. Employer branding, organizational identification, and employee retention are complex dynamics that require a solid theoretical framework, which this study provides by drawing on social identity theory, resource-based theory, signaling theory, and social exchange theory. Based on preliminary studies, it appears that healthcare companies are more affected by employee branding when it comes to staff retention than are educational organizations. In the end, the knowledge gained from this study project will have a significant impact on companies looking to improve their capacity to draw in and keep people, especially in Pakistan's crucial healthcare and education sectors.

Is Man a Part of Biodiversity?
Authors: Gole Prakash
Published: September 2023

The article explores the complex relationship between humans and biodiversity within protected areas (PAs) in India. PAs are intended to safeguard non-human beings and ecosystems, yet they often coexist with human populations that interact with these environments. The article discusses the competing demands on these areas, including commercial and technological interests, and questions whether it is justifiable to allocate a portion of the remaining natural habitats to humans who live close to nature.

The author presents arguments from both sides, highlighting the challenges and contradictions inherent in this debate. On one hand, social activists argue for local communities' rights to share in the benefits of these areas, while on the other hand, nature conservationists emphasize the need for strict protection of these ecosystems to preserve biodiversity.

The article points out that a lack of comprehensive data on the needs and habitat requirements of various species complicates decision-making. It argues that the nearness of market forces and the market economy significantly impact the transformation of these areas and the lifestyles of their inhabitants.

Ultimately, the article suggests a collaborative approach where nature conservationists and social activists work together to protect biodiversity and restore natural ecosystems. This would involve a nationwide, labour-intensive program of environmental regeneration, funded by the market economy, and a shift in the philosophy of education to promote sustainability.

In conclusion, the article contends that while humans have distanced themselves from the rest of biodiversity, they remain dependent on nature. Therefore, it is in their best interest to protect and restore natural ecosystems to ensure a sustainable future for both humans and non-human beings.
Habù e habiù nei volgari veneti antichi: riflessioni su un caso di sovrabbondanza
Authors: Bertocci Davide
Published: September 2023

This paper aims at analysing a case of “polymorphism” in Ancient Venetan dialects, that is the free alternation of (h)abù and (h)abiù in the perfect participle of ‘to have’ attested in XIII-XIV texts of Venice, Padua and Verona. I will treat this alternation as an instance of “overabundance” in order to show that it and similar cases largely attested in Venetan varieties do not represent “canonical” irregularity; on the contrary, they are coherent with diachronic trends and well attested comparatively.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a virus that is changing habits in human life worldwide. The COVID-19 outbreaks in Indonesia have forced educational activities such as teaching and learning to be conducted online. Teaching and learning activities using the online method are familiar, but the effectiveness of this method still needs to be investigated to be applied in all educational systems. This study used the predictive modeling of Recurrent Forecasting (RF) derived from Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) to know the online learning method's practicality on the student's academic performance. The fundamental notion of the predictive fusion model is to improve the effectiveness of several forms of forecast models in SSA by employing a fusion method of two parameters, a window length (L), and a number of leading components (r). This study used undergraduate students' grade point averages (GPA) from a public university in Indonesia through online classes during the COVID-19 epidemic. The experiments unveiled that a parameter of L = 14 ( ) yielded the finest prediction using the RF-SSA model with a root mean square error (RMSE) value of 0.20. Such a finding signified the ability of the RF-SSA to project the students' academic performance according to the GPA for the forthcoming semester. Nonetheless, developing the RF-SSA algorithm for greater effectiveness is essential to acquiring more datasets, such as by gathering a bigger group of respondents from several Indonesian universities.

DROGAS E DEFENSORIA PÚBLICA NA FRONTEIRA DO MATO GROSSO DO SUL: O CASO DE DOURADOS-MS
Authors: De Jesus Thayane Brito
Published: September 2023

A criação da Defensoria Pública ampliou o direito ao acesso à justiça aos mais pobres, que são o principal alvo das criminalizações no Brasil. Tratando-se do tráfico de drogas, o Mato Grosso do Sul é o terceiro estado que mais aprisiona por esse tipo penal. Nesta localidade, Dourados-MS é uma cidade próxima à fronteira com o Paraguai que constitui especial objeto de investigação, pois ostenta alto número mensal de prisões por tráfico de entorpecentes. Baseado em levantamento bibliográfico aliado à coleta de dados qualitativos, o objetivo deste artigo foi trazer as principais nuances da atuação da Defensoria nas prisões em flagrante por tráfico de drogas em Dourados-MS. Para tanto, obteve-se: i) o número de atendimentos ao público realizados no ano de 2016 e ii) o número de flagrantes por tráfico de drogas em que houve assistência jurídica da instituição no mesmo período. Além disso, foi possível apreender as principais concepções dos Defensores acerca da temática do tráfico, bem como o resultado de alguns processos. Foi possível compreender que, apesar da Defensoria ter sido criada sob um viés garantista e que busca reverter a seletividade do direito penal, sua atuação de enfrentamento à justiça criminal encontra limitações em uma política que prioriza a prisão como a principal punição para o crime de tráfico de entorpecentes. O resultado dessa política é uma problemática preocupante, que demonstra as múltiplas limitações e os problemas da atual Lei de Drogas, especialmente, o encarceramento massivo por tráfico.

The objective of this study was to determine the nutritive value of saba banana peel silage as roughage source in weaning female dairy goat. Five Saanen dairy goats (87.5%), aged 7 months old with an average bodyweight of 14.10±1.52 kg, were studied. Five treatments, in 5×5 Latin squares Design (LSD), were designed. Treatment 1: corn silage with saba banana peel silage (80:20), Treatment 2: corn silage with saba banana peel silage (60:40), Treatment 3: corn silage with saba banana peel silage (40:60, Treatment 4: corn silage with saba banana peel silage (20:80), and Treatment 5: saba banana peel silage 100% were used in the experiment. The results show that pH, lactic acid, butyric acid, acetic acid, dry matter, protein and ash of saba banana peel silage were 4.57, 3.69, 0.00, 1.51, 11.35, 7.95 and 12.5%, respectively. The feed intake of roughage, feed intake of concentrate and total feed intake on percent body weight and metabolic weight showed no significant difference among treatment (P>0.05). Moreover, blood glucose, blood Urea nitrogen and hematocrit at 0 hr, 4hr and mean were not significant different among treatment (P>0.05). In conclusion 100% of Saba banana peel silage can be utilized for raising weaning dairy goat.

Efficacy of essential oil from citronella (Cymbopogon nardus Rendle) and ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) to eliminate the stick tight fleas in common pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) were divided into 4 groups as 4% citronella oil, 4% ginger oil, commercial insecticide (Trichlorfon®) and negative control (diluent). The solutions were sprayed around the area with fleas at 1 milliliter per kilogram bodyweight. Fleas were counted before treatment and after 1-day, 7-day, and 14-day treatments. According to the efficacy to eliminate the stick tight fleas, it was found that Trichlorfon® had the lowest flea detection with extremely statistically significant p value less than 0.001 after 1-day treatment while other groups did not show any significant differences. At day 7 and 14 post treatment, there was no detectable fleas in the Trichlorfon® group while the citronella and ginger oil groups showed flea reductions detected at day 7 and the highest reduction at day 14. There was extremely significant difference (p<0.001) in the reduction at day 14 between the citronella and ginger oil groups and the negative control group. The citronella oil had significantly higher flea reduction than the ginger oil (p<0.05), and no significant difference was found between the citronella oil and Trichlorfon®. In conclusion, this study found that citronella and ginger essential oils are alternative herbs that can eliminate external parasites. Although it takes longer than commercial insecticides, less residue without doing any harm to consumers is left behind and can be utilized in organic animal production.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacies of formic acid, lactic acid, malic acid and citric acid against mastitis-caused pathogens. Pathogens used in this study were Klebsiella spp, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, Streptococcus uberis and Staphylococcus aureus. Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and reduction of total bacterial count were examined. The results revealed that the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of formic acid against all tested pathogens was 0.191%v/v indicating the best bactericidal performance. In comparison, the following orders were 10.625% lactic acid, 12.37% malic acid and 12.43% citric acid, respectively. These acids at their best solutions were then used to test their antimicrobial efficacies on teats of dairy cattle. It was found that 12.43% citric acid, as well as 10.625% lactic acid, showed the best performance due to the reduction rate at 1.15 log10cfu/ml.(P<0.05) and 1.69 log10 cfu/ml (P=0.32), respectively. On the contrary, formic acid and malic acid were significantly unable to reduce the total bacteria compared with the control group. In conclusion, the results in this study revealed that citric acid and lactic acid have potential antimicrobial effects against mastitis-caused pathogens in dairy cattle.

White tiger is a tiger characterized by its white fur, which is caused by a pigmentation disorder, often found in Bengal tigers with gene abnormalities. White tiger is considered as a vulnerable (IUCN) animal species. Therefore, it is important for conservation. Thus, the objective of this study was to observe the behavior patterns of female white tiger in different captive conditions. Seven female white tigers were used in this study. Three captive conditions were studied: individual captive, dividual captive and captive with other tiger species. The tiger behavior was observed in five groups including daily routine, movement, relaxation, self-grooming and affiliative behaviors. Behavioral observations were performed at 7 hours/day for 90 days. The results showed that the individual captive tigers expressed self-grooming and relaxation higher than dividual captive tigers and white tiger captive with other tigers (P<0.001). Dividual captive showed daily routine and movement higher than individual captive and white tiger captive with the other tiger (P<0.001). White tiger captive tigers with other tiger species showed affiliative behaviors higher than individual captive and dividual captive tigers (P<0.001). This study was able to be used as a guideline for further enhancing behavior and designing display areas that may be suitable for white tigers.
