Convertirse en especialista en cultivo y uso terapéutico de cannabis. Contextos, conocimientos y formas de asesoramiento entre activistas cannábicos en Argentina
Authors: Díaz María Cecilia
Published: May 2021

El presente trabajo resulta de una etnografía entre activistas que impulsaron demandas de acceso al cannabis para uso terapéutico en Argentina. Como tal, considera el desarrollo de conocimientos sobre la planta y sus derivados en términos procesuales y con relación a distintos contextos de interacción social. Así, se describen las labores de estudio y dedicación en el marco de tiendas de cultivo y agrupaciones cannábicas, y la configuración de dispositivos y modelos que integraban a cannabicultores con usuarios terapéuticos y/o sus cuidadores, profesionales de la salud y científicos. Además, se analizan actividades colaborativas en seminarios y jornadas de cannabis medicinal que se realizaron entre los años 2015 y 2017. En esas interacciones y prácticas, los activistas crearon formas de asesoramiento y acompañamiento basadas en experiencias de cultivo y uso de la planta, reconvirtieron sus conocimientos en experticia e insumos para su profesionalización, y participaron de la construcción de conocimiento científico sobre cannabis y sus derivados.
La regulación del cannabis medicinal en Uruguay y los desafíos para la conformación de circuitos innovativos
Authors: Zeballos Camila , Rodales Matias , Milanesi Alejandro , Repetto Lorena
Published: May 2021

A partir de la promulgación de la Ley Nº 19.172 Uruguay comenzó un proceso nacional de regulación de cannabis. Ello involucró modificaciones institucionales trascendentes como la creación del Instituto de Regulación y Control del Cannabis (IRCCA). Así también, se sucedieron instancias de aprendizaje, adaptación y momentos de incertidumbre política y sucesivos bloqueos provenientes de diversos sectores. El artículo busca analizar cómo el esquema elegido para la regulación del mercado de cannabis genera incentivos para la instalación de circuitos innovativos (CI) y, concomitantemente, micro-procesos innovadores destinados a resolver problemas de distinto tipo. Partiendo de una aproximación metodológica cualitativa que comprendió, por un lado, la realización de entrevistas a informantes calificados y protagonistas de la implementación de la política, así como actores de la gobernanza de la política y por otro la revisión de fuentes documentales, el documento argumenta que el diseño institucional y regulatorio que se desprende del marco normativo escogido habrían generado una serie de nudos o complejidades que condicionaron la aparición de CI.
A multiaxial evaluation of the headache patient
Authors: Magnoux Eric , Zlotnik Gregorio , Justine LaFerrière
Published: May 2021

Background: Primary headaches are considered a complex medical problem. They usually appear as isolated episodes but can progress into chronic headaches entailing significant functional disability for the patient. With the objective of upgrading the quality of care given to headache patients, there have been several proposals to integrate the wide array of variables which influence headache experiences into a systemized evaluation model. Such a system should prevent key elements from being overlooked, aid diagnosis and facilitate treatment plans. However, as of yet, no such model has been widely adopted. Method: In the present paper, we propose integrating The International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICDH) into a multiaxial assessment system similar to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) which is used in psychiatry. The contents of the different axes found in the DSM cover many of the fundamental clinical variables which have been supported by the medical literature for the past twenty years. Our discussion focuses mainly on chronic headache and migraine since they are clinically relevant to this form of evaluation. We believe our proposed model could be applied generally to all headache types. Conclusion: Headache disorders require an evaluation method flexible enough to reflect the multiple dimensions influencing the course of the disease. In order to achieve a systemized, widely accessible evaluation, we propose a headache patient evaluation structure that is familiar and generally accepted by the medical community. Implementing such a system would be beneficial as it could lead towards building a more uniform evaluation system, facilitate student learning and communication among practitioners, all of which are important steps for improving patient care.
Problemas de desenho urbano em Brasília: ruas ou vias e a luta contra a topografia
Authors: Galbinski José
Published: May 2021

O presente artigo versa sobre os espaços-públicos de Brasília, com ênfase nas relações entre a morfologia e o uso das “ruas” do Plano Piloto, em especial, das chamadas comerciais, tal como hoje se encontram. Por se tratar de cidade tombada pelo IPHAN e considerada Patrimônio Cultural da Humanidade pela UNESCO, aflora aqui uma questão conceitual: trata-se de um estudo positivo, com base em dados extraídos da realidade, com vistas a um entendimento descompromissado e proativo dos espaços públicos de Brasília. Não se trata de aplicar teorias adrede formuladas ou de criar uma nova teoria urbanística sobre Brasília pois como sugeriu o Mestre Lucio Costa, em 1988: “o que é preciso agora é compreendê-la”.
Mapping local and regional governance: reimagining the New South Wales Aboriginal sector
Authors: Norman Heidi , Apolonio Therese , Parker Maeve
Published: May 2021

With reference to four case study localities in New South Wales, this paper offers new insights into calls from Indigenous Australians for recognition within the national political discourse. Examining the literature on the history of the Aboriginal sector that emerged following the 1970s self-determination policy era, this paper argues earlier conceptions of the ‘Aboriginal sector’ are insufficient and do not grasp the wider shift that Aboriginal people seek within the political life of the nation. Instead, the four case studies reveal Aboriginal initiative and interest in creating a sense of association and being, drawing on pre-colonial patterns of identification and shaped by new imaginings of ‘nations’ and ‘political communities’.

Published: May 2021

Recent years have been marked by the development of dairy farming in Kazakhstan. The number of small farms is growing, but their equipment with modern milking machines remains at a low level. Due to the lack of total control over livestock, their productivity is decreasing. In addition, poor coverage of communication networks has a negative impact on the introduction of IoT technologies. However, the emergence of energy-efficient long- and short-range networks allows the development of devices for remote digital monitoring of certain livestock production parameters, in this case, associated with milk yield. The developed device is implemented on accessory board for Arduino Mega, and includes milk meter on the reed switch, LF RFID tag reader, RFM95W module for data transfer via LoRa protocol and controller based on Atmega 2560. The device is installed on a mobile milking machine and keeps track of milk productivity of each milking cow individually. The device has been tested in laboratory conditions and on a dairy farm. The test results did not reveal any discrepancies in the milk yield automatically obtained via the LoRa wireless channel and the milk volumes physically measured by the beaker.
IMPROVING THE SURFACE STRUCTURE OF MASSIVE PARTS BY THE PLASMA METHOD
Authors: I.M  Kossanova.Т.Кanayev,A А.U.Аkhmedyanov,I.P. Mazur,
Published: May 2021

An increase in the reliability of the operation of large-sized and massive parts by plasma hardening of their surfaces is substantiated. It has been established that the formation of several structural zones of different microhardness is observed in detail along the depth of hardening, indicating the formation of a gradient-layered structure. It has been proved that at ultrafast heating rates, which occur during surface plasma hardening, phase and structural changes move to the high temperature region, changing the kinetics of the appearance and growth of new phase nuclei. In this case, fine-grained austenite is formed, which is transformed into a highly dispersed martensitic structure, which increases the strength and reliability of the surfaces of the parts.

Authors: U. Umbetov A.B. Shinykulova G.S. Morokina
Published: May 2021

This paper is concerned to the development of tourism companies, which occurs through their merger and the creation of a complex branched structure. Management should be carried out with a scientific justification of the merger processes. This situation requires the development of new approaches to the management of such companies to build management using digital technologies. Since in recent years, tourism in Kazakhstan has become one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy, and has become more leading, it is necessary to coordinate the actions of the structure on the basis of developed digital methods based on the construction of mathematical management models, which taking into account the various structural components of business processes. Thus, to analyze the state of tourism in Kazakhstan, it is necessary to justify the use of numerical methods and, above all, mathematical approaches to many processes of the tourism business, the algorithm of hierarchical management decisions in the case of limited resources needed for the tourism industry, to give a general description of the content and a formal statement on the allocation of resources.

From Antagonism to Acknowledgment: Development of Gender and Women’s Studies as Academic Discipline in Pakistan
Authors: Rabbia Aslam  , Sarfraz Khan
Published: May 2021

This paper aimed to analyze historically the development of Gender and Women’s Studies as a separate academic discipline in Pakistan. We employed to the secondary data resources that included archives, official gazettes of the Government of Pakistan, notifications and, organizational records for data collection. The historical analysis with the feminist research method focused on the evolution of the discipline. The research revealed that gender and women’s studies on an academic discipline have been established in different public sector universities after international pressure and the struggle of Pakistani women’s movement. Further, the research documented the discipline’s voyage from resentment to an acknowledgement of gender studies as academic field. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a potential for transformation in the everyday lives of the students and teachers, nevertheless braced with limitations, challenges, and prospects for the growth of this as a discipline. Although discipline does reflect a commitment to the contribution towards the society concerning to the subject matter, these are; however, not rooted in feminist ideology. There are bigger questions rather than concluding thoughts that require additional research related to discipline, its scope, and local knowledge production and so forth. Besides, it requires sincere efforts from a policy planning perspective to generate research and theory on gender issues in a local context.
Towards monitoring CO2 source-sink distribution over India via inverse modelling: Quantifying the fine-scale spatiotemporal variability of atmospheric CO2 mole fraction
Authors: Thilakan Vishnu , Pillai Dhanyalekshmi , Gerbig Christoph , Galkowski Michal , Ravi Aparnna , Anna Mathew Thara
Published: May 2021

Abstract. The prospect of improving the estimates of CO2 sources and sinks over India through inverse methods calls for a comprehensive atmospheric monitoring system involving atmospheric transport models that make a realistic accounting of atmospheric CO2 variability. In the context of expanding atmospheric CO2 measurement networks over India, this study aims to investigate the importance of a high-resolution modelling framework to utilize these observations and to quantify the uncertainty due to the misrepresentation of fine-scale variability of CO2 in the employed model. The spatial variability of atmospheric CO2 is represented by implementing WRF-Chem at a spatial resolution of 10 km × 10 km. We utilize these high-resolution simulations for sub-grid variability calculation within the coarse model grid at a horizontal resolution of one degree (about 100 km). We show that the unresolved variability in the coarse model reaches up to a value of 10 ppm at the surface, which is considerably larger than the sampling errors, even comparable to the magnitude of mixing ratio enhancements in source regions. We find a significant impact of monsoon circulation in sub-grid variability, causing ~3 ppm average representation error between 12–14 km altitude ranges in response to the tropical easterly jet. The cyclonic storm Ockhi during November 2017 generates completely different characteristics in sub-grid variability than the rest of the period, whose influence increases the average representation error by ~1 ppm at the surface. By employing a first-order inverse modelling scheme using pseudo observations from nine tall tower sites over India and a constellation of satellite instruments, we show that the Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) flux uncertainty solely due to unresolved variability is in the range of 6.3 to 16.2 % of the total NEE. We illustrate an example to test the efficiency of a simple parameterization scheme during non-monsoon periods to capture the unresolved variability in the coarse models, which reduces the bias in flux estimates from 9.4 % to 2.2 %. By estimating the fine-scale variability and its impact during different seasons, we emphasise the need for implementing a high-resolution modelling framework over the Indian subcontinent to better understand processes regulating CO2 sources and sinks.

Abstract. Even though desert dust is the most abundant aerosol by
mass in Earth's atmosphere, the relative contributions of the world's major
source regions to the global dust cycle remain poorly constrained. This
problem hinders accounting for the potentially large impact of regional
differences in dust properties on clouds, the Earth's energy balance, and
terrestrial and marine biogeochemical cycles. Here, we constrain the
contribution of each of the world's main dust source regions to the global
dust cycle. We use an analytical framework that integrates an ensemble of
global aerosol model simulations with observationally informed constraints
on the dust size distribution, extinction efficiency, and regional dust
aerosol optical depth (DAOD). We obtain a dataset that constrains the
relative contribution of nine major source regions to size-resolved
dust emission, atmospheric loading, DAOD, concentration, and deposition
flux. We find that the 22–29 Tg (1 standard error range) global loading of
dust with a geometric diameter up to 20 µm is partitioned as follows:
North African source regions contribute ∼ 50 % (11–15 Tg),
Asian source regions contribute ∼ 40 % (8–13 Tg), and North
American and Southern Hemisphere regions contribute ∼ 10 %
(1.8–3.2 Tg). These results suggest that current models on average
overestimate the contribution of North African sources to atmospheric dust
loading at ∼ 65 %, while underestimating the contribution of
Asian dust at ∼ 30 %. Our results further show that each
source region's dust loading peaks in local spring and summer, which is
partially driven by increased dust lifetime in those seasons. We also
quantify the dust deposition flux to the Amazon rainforest to be
∼ 10 Tg yr−1, which is a factor of 2–3 less than inferred from
satellite data by previous work that likely overestimated dust deposition by
underestimating the dust mass extinction efficiency. The data obtained in
this paper can be used to obtain improved constraints on dust impacts on
clouds, climate, biogeochemical cycles, and other parts of the Earth system.
Coupling a gas chromatograph simultaneously to a flame ionization detector and chemical ionization mass spectrometer for isomer-resolved measurements of particle-phase organic compounds

Abstract. Atmospheric oxidation products of volatile organic compounds consist of
thousands of unique chemicals that have distinctly different physical and
chemical properties depending on their detailed structures and functional
groups. Measurement techniques that can achieve molecular characterizations
with details down to functional groups (i.e., isomer-resolved resolution)
are consequently necessary to provide understandings of differences of fate
and transport within isomers produced in the oxidation process. We
demonstrate a new instrument coupling the thermal desorption aerosol gas
chromatograph (TAG), which enables the separation of isomers, with the
high-resolution time-of-flight chemical ionization mass spectrometer
(HR-ToF-CIMS), which has the capability of classifying unknown compounds by
their molecular formulas, and the flame ionization detector (FID), which provides a
near-universal response to organic compounds. The TAG-CIMS/FID is used to
provide isomer-resolved measurements of samples from liquid standard
injections and particle-phase organics generated in oxidation flow reactors.
By coupling a TAG to a CIMS, the CIMS is enhanced with an additional
dimension of information (resolution of individual molecules) at the cost of
time resolution (i.e., one sample per hour instead of per minute). We found
that isomers are prevalent in sample matrix with an average number of three
to five isomers per formula depending on the precursors in the oxidation
experiments. Additionally, a multi-reagent ionization mode is investigated
in which both zero air and iodide are introduced as reagent ions, to examine
the feasibility of extending the use of an individual CIMS to a broader
range of analytes with still selective reagent ions. While this approach
reduces iodide-adduct ions by a factor of 2, [M − H]− and
[M + O2]− ions produced from lower-polarity compounds increase by
a factor of 5 to 10, improving their detection by CIMS. The method
expands the range of detected chemical species by using two chemical
ionization reagents simultaneously, which is enabled by the pre-separation of analyte
molecules before ionization.

Published: May 2021

Abstract. The Italian earthquake waveform data are here collected in a dataset suited for machine learning analysis (ML) applications. The dataset consists of near 1.2 million three-component (3C) waveform traces from about 50,000 earthquakes and more than 130,000 noise 3C waveform traces, for a total of about 43,000 hours of data and an average of 21 3C traces are provided per event. The earthquake list is based on the Italian seismic bulletin (http://terremoti.ingv.it/bsi) of the ``Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia'' between January 2005 and January 2020 and it includes events in the magnitude range between 0.0 and 6.5. The waveform data have been recorded primarily by the Italian National Seismic Network (network code IV) and include both weak (HH, EH channels) and strong motion recordings (HN channels). All the waveform traces have a length of 120 s, are sampled at 100 Hz, and are provided both in counts and ground motion units after deconvolution of the instrument transfer functions. The waveform dataset is accompanied by metadata consisting of more than 100 parameters providing comprehensive information on the earthquake source, the recording stations, the trace features, and other derived quantities. This rich set of metadata allows the users to target the data selection for their own purposes. Many of these metadata can be used as labels in ML analysis or for other studies. The dataset, assembled in HDF5 format, is available at http://doi.org/10.13127/instance (Michelini et al., 2021).
The wave geometry of final stratospheric warming events
Authors: Butler Amy H. , Domeisen Daniela I. V.
Published: May 2021

Abstract. Every spring, the stratospheric polar vortex transitions from its westerly wintertime state to its easterly summertime state due to seasonal changes in incoming solar radiation, an event known as the “final stratospheric warming” (FSW). While FSWs tend to be less abrupt than reversals of the boreal polar vortex in midwinter, known as sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events, their timing and characteristics can be significantly modulated by atmospheric planetary-scale waves. While SSWs are commonly classified according to their wave geometry, either by how the vortex evolves (whether the vortex displaces off the pole or splits into two vortices) or by the dominant wavenumber of the vortex just prior to the SSW (wave-1 vs. wave-2), little is known about the wave geometry of FSW events. We here show that FSW events for both hemispheres in most cases exhibit a clear wave geometry. Most FSWs can be classified into wave-1 or wave-2 events, but wave-3 also plays a significant role in both hemispheres. The timing and classification of the FSW are sensitive to which pressure level the FSW central date is defined, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) where trends in the FSW dates associated with ozone depletion and recovery are more evident at 50 than 10 hPa. However, regardless of which FSW definition is selected, we find the wave geometry of the FSW affects total column ozone anomalies in both hemispheres and tropospheric circulation over North America. In the Southern Hemisphere, the timing of the FSW is strongly linked to both total column ozone before the event and the tropospheric circulation after the event.
Habitat differentiation and geographic separation of Isoetes velata populations in central Iberian Peninsula
Authors: Molina José Antonio
Published: May 2021

Populations of Isoetes velata were studied in order to provide more information on their habitat and distribution in the Western and Northwestern Iberian Peninsula. Habitat together with morphology of megaspores were used as diagnostic features. The form I. velata subsp. velata f. lereschii is considered here as a synonym of I. velata subsp. asturicense and therefore only two taxa remain within the species: I. velata subsp. velata and I. velata subsp. asturicense. Intermediate individuals have been found in the Western Central System. The differentiation within the I. velata group appears to be the result of gradual genetic divergence after isolation. Palaeobotanical data confirm the presence of I. velata subsp. asturicense in Late Glacial lake sediments in northwestern Spain. Cluster classification of the soft-water vegetation with Isoetes velata subsp. asturicense revealed two main groups in the Spanish Central System. A single association, the Sparganio angustifolii-Callitrichetum fontqueri which includes Iberian Atlantic stands of Sparganium angustifolium and Isoetes velata subsp. asturicense, is here recognized. Besides, a variant of the association with Eleocharis acicularis is identified in shallow temporary waters in the Western Sierra de Gredos.

An in Vitro Study Elucidating the Effect of Oxidative Stress on Melanocytes
Authors: Mansuri Mohmmad Shoab , Singh Mala , Jadeja Shahnawaz D.
Published: May 2021

Oxidative stress plays a major role in melanocyte destruction in vitiligo, however the exact mechanism responsible for melanocyte death remains uncertain. We aimed to examine the effect of oxidative stress on melanocyte viability by MTT assay and expression of antioxidant genes (CAT, GPX1, G6PD and PRDX3), stress related genes (HSP60, HSP70, SERP1, SIRT1 and POLH) and melanocyte specific genes (MITF, TYR, TYRP1, TRPM1, EDN1, EZR and LAMP1) by real-time PCR upon exposing the normal human melanocytes (NHM), immortalized melanocytes derived from healthy human (PIG1) and from vitiligo patient (PIG3V) to cumene hydroperoxide (CHP). The transcript levels of selected genes were estimated by using real-time PCR. The NHM, PIG1 and PIG3V melanocytes showed significant decrease in viability under CHP (10-100μM) induced oxidative stress. PIG3V displayed significantly increased expression of PRDX3, HSP70, SERP1, POLH as well as decreased expression of CAT, MITF, TYR, TYRP1, TRPM1, EDN1 and LAMP1 under CHP (10 & 20μM) treatment, as compared to NHM and/or PIG1 melanocytes. These results suggest that vitiligo melanocytes are more sensitive to CHP induced oxidative stress, as compared to normal melanocytes. The present study demonstrates that vitiligo may result from an insufficient response of melanocytes to oxidative stress induced by high H2O2 levels.

Keywords: Vitiligo; melanocyte; PIG1; PIG3V; oxidative stress; cumene hydroperoxide (CHP).

Natural products are gaining much importance in light of the serious side effects posed by drugs of chemical origin. High intake of foods rich in antioxidants reduces the risk of neurodegenerative disorders. Traditionally, Allium sativum L.(garlic) and Allium cepa. L (onion) has received considerable attention for their therapeutic benefits around the globe. The present study assesses the free radical scavenging role of Allium sativum and Allium cepa in cerebral cortex, striatum, and hippocampus. Adult wistar rats of either sex were grouped as control group (Group I) treated with normal saline and the two experimental group were treated with the aqueous bulbous extracts of dehydrated Allium sativum (Group II) and Allium cepa (Group III) was considered as treated groups. Homogenates of hippocampus, striatum and cerebral cortex were analyzed for biochemical and neuronal analysis. LD50 value of these extracts in rats was found at a dose of 500 mg/kg BW. A Significant decline (P<0.05) in the MDA level was observed in the hippocampus, striatum and cerebral cortex in group II when compared to group III. Total antioxidant level, GSH, SOD level was significantly high (P<0.001) in the treated groups. Neuronal increase was significant in Group II (P < 0.01) when compared to Group III. Allium sativum and Allium cepa was found to have a challenging role in hampering oxidative stress in Hippocampus, striatum and cerebral cortex, the target regions in neurological disorders. However, ample number of studies are required to establish their mechanism of action as a progression to clinical approach.

The temperature dependence studies on the binary and ternary system are very few. The densities of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), L-arginine, 2-amino butyric acid in water and SDS mixed with L-arginine and 2-amino butyric acid solutions have been measured precisely at five equidistant temperatures ranging from 293.15K to 313.15K at an interval of 5K. The variety of different thermo- dynamics properties of SDS were observed in the low concentration region. The density of all the studied system was found to increase with the increase of molar concentration of the solution and decrease with the increase of temperature. SDS acts as structure breaker for both regions in aqueous L-arginine and 2-amino butyric acid solvent system at studied temperature.

Low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors (poly-Si TFTs) have been studied because of their high performance in Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays (AMLCD's) and Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode (AMOLED) applications. The purpose of this work is to simulate the impact of varying the electrical and physical parameters (the interface states, active layer's thickness and BBT model) in the transfer characteristics of poly-Si TFT to extract the electrical parameters like the threshold voltage, the mobility and to evaluate the device performance. The device was simulated using ATLAS software from Silvaco, the results show that the electrical and physical parameters of poly-Si TFT affect significantly its transfer characteristics, choosing suitable parameters improve high-performance transistor. Such results make the designed structure a promising element for large-scale electronics applications.
Projects on Tyumen region "cultural framework": main results

Cultural heritage is an essential component of a socio-economic complex. Cultural  heritage  topic  should  be  addressed  within  the  context  of  the  development  of  regional social and economic processes, and be based  on  principles, that allow integration  of all  available  resources  of  the  territory.  This  concept,  based  on  the  use  of  cultural  heritage as  a  structural  element  of  a  socio-economic  complex,  was  developed  on  the  example  of  the Tyumen  region.  It  was  assumed,  that  the  organizational  and  economic  basis  for  the  use  of heritage  was  a  cultural  framework,  that  could  form  the  basis  of  a  new  strategic  direction for the development of both historical cities and small rural settlements.

Within  the  framework  of  the  project,  practical  research  works  were  carried  out  to identify  cultural  heritage  objects  in  all  districts  and  urban  territories  of  the  south  of  the Tyumen  region.  About  150  settlements  were  examined  in  detail,  with  the  fixation  of  architectural  buildings  and  structures,  that  have  signs  of  cultural  heritage  objects.  Design  proposals have been developed for the use of existing and newly identified heritage sites, in order  to  form  the  cultural  and  landscape  environment  of  historical  settlements,  the  development  of  museum,  cultural,  educational  and  tourist  activities.  Proposals  have  been  formulated  for  the  socio-economic  development  of  urban  settlements  and  municipal  rural  areas, based  on  the  identified  potential  of  cultural  heritage.  As  an  example  of  how  the  use  of  cultural heritage and cultural practices can affect the life  of a  particular historical  settlement, design  developments  for  the  village  of  Usalka  in  the  Yarkovsky  district  are  given.  This branch work within the Tyumen Industrial University may become the basis for creation of its own scientific school for the preservation and use of cultural heritage objects, for the development of a methodology for integrating heritage into modern economic reality.

हमारी भारतीय संस्कृति एवम परंपराओं के गर्भ में अनेक रत्न छुपे हुए हैं उन्हीं रत्नों में एक ऐसा रत्न है जो हमारे समाज में प्रचलित अनेक समस्याओं का निराकरण करने में सक्षम है| परंतु कुछ भ्रांतियों के प्रचलन के कारण यह विकृत रूप लेता चला गया| यह रत्न है तंत्र ,यह वास्तव में बहुत ही गूढ़ और प्राचीन विद्या है| हमारे विद्वानों का यह मानना रहा है कि इस तंत्र साधना के द्वारा हम अनेक प्रकार की शक्ति प्राप्त करते हैं जिसके द्वारा हम अनेक रोगों आदि से समाज को सुरक्षित रख सकते हैं| यदि हम सकारात्मक दृष्टिकोण लेकर चलते हैं तो यह कोई जादू टोना या अहित करने वाली क्रिया नहीं है, बल्कि यह बहुत ही उच्च स्तरीय साधना है जो व्यक्ति के जीवन को सुव्यवस्थित करकी उनकी दैनिक समस्याओं से लेकर अनेक विषम परिस्थितियों में एक सहायक के रूप में सदैव साथ है, यदि साधक इन क्रियाओं का सदुपयोग करता है तो वह इन शक्तियों के द्वारा समाज के प्रत्येक व्यक्ति, वर्ग ,समूह आदि की सेवा कर सकता है, उनके दुख दूर कर सकता है ,उन्हें रोग मुक्त कर सकता है, वास्तव में यह एक ऐसा सरल और सुगम मार्ग है इसका अनुसरण करके व्यक्ति अपने व्यक्तित्व को व्यवस्थित और उच्च स्तरीय व प्रभावशाली बना सकता है, साथ ही साथ वह सभी की सहायता भी कर सकता है, विद्वानों का ऐसा मानना रहा है कि इस विद्या के द्वारा प्रकृति की शक्ति पर भी काबू पाया जा सकता है और आनंददायक स्थितियां भी उत्पन्न की जा सकती हैं और उनका मनमाना उपयोग उपभोग भी किया जा सकता है| परंतु इसके लिए हमें बहुत ही सावधान रहना होगा, इन क्रियाओं का सावधानी से और सही रूप में प्रयोग करना होगा| अत: इस विषय में इतना ही कहा जा सकता है कि कोई भी क्षेत्र क्यों ना हो तंत्र से अछूता नहीं है क्योंकि लोक कल्याण से लेकर सिद्धि समृद्धि तक आत्मा से परमात्मा तक तंत्र का महत्व फैला हुआ है जो साधक जिस उद्देश्य को लेकर अपनी साधना करता है उसे वैसा ही फल प्राप्त होता है| ​

War and Social Conflicts in Early Modern Border Areas: Colonel Ludovicus de La Borde and Satu Mare (Szatmár) Fortress (1673–77)
Authors: Ardelean Florin Nicolae
Published: May 2021

The social and economic dynamics of early modern borders in central and southeast Europe were marked by endemic warfare. The border between Habsburg Hungary and the Principality of Transylvania in the second half of the seventeenth century was affected by an almost constant state of war. The presence of an Ottoman province in the vicinity (Oradea, conquered by the Turks in 1660) further complicated the political and military situation. Large-scale military campaigns were accompanied by various forms of frontier warfare and rebellions. The aim of this article is to analyze the social impact of war on the fortress of Satu Mare (Szatmár) and the two neighboring market towns, Satu Mare (Szatmár) and Mintiu (Némethi), as reflected by three documents issued by, or referring to, Colonel Ludovicus de La Borde. In the first part of the article, I have presented a short overview of the history of the early modern fortification of Satu Mare (Szatmár) during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, emphasizing the frequent border changes between Habsburg Hungary and the Principality of Transylvania.
Aromanian Ethnicity in the Accounts of British Travelers through the Balkans (approx. 1800–1860)
Authors: Crețulescu Vladimir Constantin
Published: May 2021

Nineteenth-century western-European travel literature constitutes a potentially rich historical source, which has, to date, been insufficiently exploited from the perspective of Aromanian studies. In exploring several British travelogues from the first half of the nineteenth century, the author sets out to identify specific Aromanian self-images containing essential markers of the Balkan Aromanians’ ethnicity, as it presented itself on the eve of its morphing into a mere aspect of Romanian or Greek nationality. Several important topoi of the Aromanian ethnic identity come to light; the idea of the ethnic community’s Roman origins, the endonyms being used, the social practice of endogamy, and the circulated stories of potential Aromanian folk-hero figures in the making (pending possible incorporation into the Aromanian collective memory) all function as identity markers, articulating the ethnic boundary that ensures the internal coherence of the Aromanian ethnic community and sets it apart from other ethnic groups.
Master Artisan Certificates of the Practical Fishermen’s School in Bulgaria (1921–1933)
Authors: Kozhuharov Asen Nikolov
Published: May 2021

Based on data from the archival funds of the Naval Museum in Varna (VNM) and private collections, the article presents the results of an historical analysis of personal academic documents issued to graduates of the Practical Fishermen’s School (PFS) in the period 1921 to 1933. The application of the method of historical typology has established a total of three types of document emissions, the status of some of which were changed after the end of World War II, thus granting their holders the rights of secondary education graduates. The appearance and contents of these types of documents, the continuity between the different emissions, and their value as a source for the historical science are analyzed in accordance with the methodology of the auxiliary historical discipline “Attestatology.”

This study aims at assessing the prevalence of glomerular alterations in dogs with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and comparing the clinical and laboratory parameters. The tests conducted include a double-blind histopathological assay conducted by two pathologists, urine tests including inactive sediment, urinary protein-to-creatinine (UPC), serum albumin and serum creatinine, as well as measurement of the systolic arterial blood pressure. The prevalence of glomerular injuries was determined and the predominant injury was compared with a group comprised of the remaining injuries. The study included 24 dogs with CKD. The results revealed a predominance of membranous glomerular alterations 17/24 (70,83%), followed by glomerulosclerosis 3/24 (12,50%), membranoproliferative injuries 2/24, glomerulocystic atrophy 1/24 and glomerular amyloidosis 1/24. Amyloidosis presented the highest UPC while the membranoproliferative injury presented the lowest mean concentration of serum albumin. Higher values in the UPC did not correspond with lower mean serum albumin values. Glomerulosclerosis presented the highest mean systolic blood pressure and glomerular atrophy presented the highest creatinine values. When comparing membranous injuries with a group comprised of the remaining injuries, the UPC did not present significant differences between the groups. Renal amyloidosis was included in the group with the lowest systolic arterial blood pressure values while membranoproliferative injury was included in the group with highest UPC. The group called “others” presented the highest creatinine value. Dogs with CKD may present several types of glomerular injuries with similar clinical and laboratory profiles. This study observed a predominance of membranous glomerular injuries, followed by membranoproliferative injuries, glomerulocystic atrophy and amyloidosis.

Published: May 2021

Mentorship is a key aspect of medical education, but the availability and quality of mentorship varies considerably between institutions. The lack of standardization results in information asymmetry and creates notable inequities. This disparity is particularly important for students interested in pursuing competitive specialties, such as orthopaedic surgery. The purpose of this study was to (1) demonstrate the importance of mentorship in orthopaedics, (2) provide a framework for orthopaedic surgeon mentors, and (3) guide medical students interested in activating and expanding their networks.

Published: May 2021

Objectives: The incidence of infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae has increased worldwide. Limitations
in the development of new antimicrobial agents have led clinicians to reconsider the clinical efficiency of old antibiotics, such as
intravenous formulation of fosfomycin, in the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. We investigated
the fosfomycin susceptibility of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated prior to the clinical use of the
intravenous formulation of fosfomycin in Turkey.
Materials and Methods: A total of the 155 K. pneumoniae isolates which previously characterized at the molecular level for their
carbapenemase were included in this study. The minimum inhibitory concentration of fosfomycin was determined by the agar
dilution method.
Results: Overall, 65.1% of the isolates were susceptible to fosfomycin. The MIC50 and MIC90 values were 32 and 256 mg/L, respectively.
According to our results, at least two-third of carbapenemase-positive K. pneumoniae are susceptible to fosfomycin.
Conclusions: Although, the susceptibility of fosfomycin, which has just been put into the clinical use of intravenous formulation in
Turkey, is not very high, it can be considered as an alternative
Prophetic Imagination in the Light of Narratology and Disability Studies in Isaiah 40-48
Authors: Chavel Simeon
Published: May 2021

The study argues that to persuade Judeans in Babylon that Yahweh, not Marduk, authored Cyrus' victories, and they should move to Judea, the author of Isa 40-48 countered an historiographically advanced ideology that divine embodiment in royally sponsored temples proves divine will, power, and presence. The author rejects any such historiography as based in human faculties; develops a complex notion of divine irreducibility and prophetic ability; and presents it in a text to match.
The Material Turn in the Study of Israelite Religions: Spaces, Things, and the Body
Authors: Mandell Alice , Smoak Jeremy
Published: May 2021

This study discusses how a material religions approach might be applied to the study of Israelite religions. After providing a discussion of recent theory on space and the body in the study of religion, we give several suggestions for how these ideas can apply to Israelite tomb and temple spaces. Our approach brings the study of Israelite religious texts and material culture (back) into the broader study of material religion. To this end, we prioritize the role that the body plays in shaping perceptions of these spaces and in determining the use of things in ritual practice.
What are ʾElilim?
Authors: Hamilton Mark W.
Published: May 2021

The Hebrew word ᵓĕlīlîm is usually explained as the plural of the Hebrew adjective ᵓĕlīl (“useless, vain”), hence a dysphemism describing idols. However, the ancient versions did not understand the word this way. The word more plausibly is a loanword from the Akkadian illilu, itself a borrowing from Sumerian. The earliest attestations of ᵓĕlīlîm in Hebrew appear in Isaiah often as part of code-switching to signal the foreignness of the word itself.
