Avaliação analgésica da metadona, em duas doses associada a lidocaína sem vasoconstritor, por via epidural em cães submetidos a orquiectomia eletiva
Authors: Antunes Junior Henrique Jorge
Published: October 2020

Several drugs have used to control pain through various routes, such as epidural. Methadone is a synthetic morphine-like opioid and has used epidurally for pain control, especially during surgical procedures such as orchiectomy. Nine male dogs were selected for epidural methadone analgesic action study in two concentrations, 0.1mg/kg (M01) and 0.3 mg/kg (M03), associated with lidocaine without vasoconstrictor, the control group was appended. epidural lidocaine (LID). To evaluate the groups were measured and statistically analyzed the values of heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, temperature and systolic blood pressure. The groups M01 and M03 did not differ statistically, the LID group presented different means of the groups M01 and M03 for the values of heart rate, oxygen saturation and diastolic blood pressure, confirming the need to use analgesic drugs in surgical procedures, especially at times of increased nociceptive stimulation.

Three new species, two new genera, and new family Biphragmosagittidae (Сhaetognatha) from Southwest Pacific Ocean
Authors: Kassatkina A.P.
Published: October 2020

Resuming published and own data, a revision of classification of Chaetognatha is presented. The family Sagittidae Claus & Grobben, 1905 is given a rank of subclass, Sagittiones, characterised, in particular, by the presence of two pairs of sac-like gelatinous structures or two pairs of fins. Besides the order Aphragmophora Tokioka, 1965, it contains the new order Biphragmosagittiformes ord. nov., which is a unique group of Chaetognatha with an unusual combination of morphological characters: the transverse muscles present in both the trunk and the tail sections of the body; the seminal vesicles simple, without internal complex compartments; the presence of two pairs of lateral fins. The only family assigned to the new order, Biphragmosagittidae fam. nov., contains two genera. Diagnoses of the two new genera, Biphragmosagitta gen. nov. (type species B. tarasovi sp. nov. and B. angusticephala sp. nov.) and Biphragmofastigata gen. nov. (type species B. fastigata sp. nov.), detailed descriptions and pictures of the three new species are presented.
L’humanisme et la question du langage
Authors: Seki Hiroaki
Published: October 2020

Résumé : Cet article examine un dialogue important mais peu étudié entre Sartre et le philosophe du langage Brice Parain. Les deux écrivains constatent un mal du langage, issu de la Grande Guerre de 1914-18 et de ses traumatismes que les mots proférés par les survivants sont incapables de prendre en charge. Dans ce monde « inhumain », où trouver un remède ? Pour Parain et Sartre le retour à n’importe quel humanisme implique une réflexion sur le langage. A travers sa lecture de Parain et ce qu’il propose, Sartre repense les bases de sa propre conception du langage d’une manière qui lui permet de développer son propre humanisme et les principes de la littérature engagée. Mais la dimension religieuse de l’argumentation de Parain, écartée par Sartre, laisse-t-elle des traces sur la conception sartrienne de l’auteur ?

Abstract: In this paper we examine the dialogue between Sartre and one of his contemporaries, the philosopher of language, Brice Parain. First, after clarifying what is common and different in their backgrounds, we will see that Sartre and Parain share a common belief that language itself has taken ill, as a result of the First World War, an illness for which both feel a need to find a remedy. Secondly, we will show how Sartre’s reading of Parain allowed him to construct a theory of language that is consistent with his own humanism and the principles of committed literature. Finally, we will examine the influence of the religious dimension of Parain’s argument on Sartre’s theory of authorship.
Comparison of Schema Modes in Clinical and Non-Clinical Individuals: A Preliminary Finding
Authors: Siddique Meh Para Siddique , Hanif Rubina
Published: October 2020

This study compares the schema modes between the clinical and non-clinical individuals. A purposive convenient sampling technique was used for the data collection from one hundred and fifty healthy community volunteers, and sixty diagnosed psychiatric patients. The "Schema Mode Inventory (SMI)" was utilized for the mode assessment and group comparison. A series of independent sample t-test depicted that, the clinical group had a significantly higher score on ten out of twelve dysfunctional schema modes and significantly lesser score on both functional schema modes. Identically, Fisher's r-to-z transformation confirmed that the association between dysfunctional schema modes was significantly higher in clinical individuals in comparison to non-clinical individuals. Thus, the present study describes a tendency of individuals with psychiatric disorders to rely more on dysfunctional schema modes in comparison to non-clinical individuals. These findings strengthen the empirical provision of the "schema mode model" for the assessment and treatment of psychiatric disorders.
On Properties of the (2n+1)-Dimensional Heisenberg Lie Algebra
Authors: Kurniadi Edi
Published: October 2020

In the present paper, we study some properties of the Heisenberg Lie algebra of dimension . The main purpose of this research is to construct a real Frobenius Lie algebra from the Heisenberg Lie algebra of dimension . To achieve this, we exhibit  how to compute the derivation of the Heisenberg Lie algebra by following Oom’s result. In this research, we use a literature review method to some related papers corresponding to a derivation of a Lie algebra, Frobenius Lie algebras, and Plancherel measure. Determining a conjecture of a real Frobenius Lie algebra is obtained. As the main result, we prove that conjecture. Namely, for the given the Heisenberg Lie algebra, there exists a commutative subalgebra of dimension one such that its semi direct sum is a real Frobenius Lie algebra of dimension . Futhermore, in the notion of the Lie group of the Heisenberg Lie algebra which is called the Heisenberg Lie group, we compute the generalized character of its group  and we determine the Plancherel measure of the unitary dual of the Heisenberg Lie group. As our contributions, we complete some examples of Frobenius Lie algebras obtained from a nilpotent Lie algebra and we also give alternative computations to find the Plancherel measure of the Heisenberg Lie group.

Bermudagrass Production in Florida
Authors: Chambliss Carrol G. , Johnson Freddie A.
Published: October 2020

The improved hybrid bermudagrasses (Cynodon dactylon L.) are used for both hay and grazing. Coastal was the first hybrid bermudagrass developed at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station in Tifton, Georgia, and was released in 1943. Several other bermudagrass varieties have been developed since then by both public agencies and private individuals. Hybrid bermudagrasses have been popular for hay production because they are very responsive to nitrogen fertilizer, have high yield potential, and usually dry or cure faster than most other forages that could be used for hay. Bermuda makes good use of animal manures and so has been widely used by the poultry and dairy industries. Overseeding of winter forages has generally been more successful on bermudagrasses than on bahiagrasses. Many research studies have shown high animal weight gains per acre when bermuda is well fertilized.

Poultry Manure as a Fertilizer
Authors: Davis Michael A. , Sloan Doug R. , Kidder Gerald , Jacobs R. D.
Published: October 2020

Animal manures have been used as natural crop fertilizers for centuries. Because of poultry manure’s high nitrogen content, it has long been recognized as one of the most desirable manures. Besides fertilizing crops, manures also supply other essential plant nutrients and serve as a soil amendment by adding organic matter, which helps improve the soil’s moisture and nutrient retention. Organic matter persistence will vary with temperature, drainage, rainfall, and other environmental factors. This 2-page fact sheet was written by Michael A. Davis, D.R. Sloan, Gerald Kidder, and R.D.

What is urea-triazone nitrogen?
Authors: Liu Guodong , Williamson Jeffrey
Published: October 2020

Foliar application of nitrogen and other nutrients essential for plant growth and development is an important practice for crop production. Most foliar nutrient N products contained the traditional N sources such as ammonium, nitrate and/or urea before urea-triazone N was available on the market. The traditional N sources have a greater salt index and leaf-burn potential than urea-triazone N. To avoid or minimize leaf burning, urea-triazone N fertilizers can be used instead of the traditional N sources. But growers have concerns about the safety of using triazone N fertilizers for commercial crop production because the fertilizers are still new to them. This 2-page fact sheet provides basic information on urea-triazone-based fertilizer for county faculty, crop consultants and advisors, growers, and students interested in commercial crop production.

The Use of Cost-Benefit Analysis in Environmental Policy
Authors: Pienaar Elizabeth F.
Published: October 2020

When analyzing environmental problems, economists consider both the benefits and costs of actions. If benefits exceed costs then economic theory supports that action. For example, if the total benefits of conserving land exceed the costs then cost-benefit analysis would support conservation of the land. However, great care must be taken to accurately identify and quantify benefits and costs to determine whether an action is cost-benefit justified. Stakeholders may have an incentive to overstate costs or benefits, in order to influence decision-making. This 5-page fact sheet was written by Elizabeth F.

This research was conducted to investigate the effect of different herbicides with weed management practices on growth and yield performance of mungbean genotypes. The experiment consisted of two factors were mungbean genotypes and weed management. There were two genotypes namely BARI Mung 6 and BARI Mung 8. While there were five weed management practices namely control/no weeding and without herbicide application (T1), hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS (T2), pre emergence herbicide (Panida) at 1-2 DAS (T3), pre emergence herbicide (Neon) at 2-3 DAS (T4), and post emergence herbicide (Neon) at 10-15 DAS+hand weeding (T5). The results revealed that BARI Mung 6 stand superior to BARI Mung 8 in respect of dry matter content/plant, pods/plant, seeds/plant, seed yield, and 1000 seed weight. Among weed management practices, maximum plant height (53.70 cm), dry matter weight/plant (17.96 g), pods/plant (18.31), seeds/plant (171.47), maximum weed control efficiency (33.78 %) obtained from T3 treatment. Based on the interaction effect showed that BARI Mung 6 weeded with pre emergence herbicide (Panida) at 1-2 DAS produced maximum seed yield (1.79 t/ha) as well as yield attributes showed 2.29 % higher seed yield.
Tax competition and the activity of the regional tax policy
Authors: Drobyshevsky S. M. , Kostrykina N. S. , Korytin A. V.
Published: October 2020

The problem of efficiency of regional tax expenditures is an actual issue of the fiscal policy and fiscal federalism in Russia. A large fiscal autonomy allows federal subjects to realize a more active tax policy to attract new investments. One cannot claim current fiscal powers of the Russian regions to be wide. However, not all the regions use even existing tax policy instruments. Moreover, out of the regions that use them only few provide incentives to stimulate investment decisions. Others use regional tax measures to support businesses that already have strong positions in the region. And it is an open question whether such tax incentives are efficient. On the other hand, an aggressive tax competition for investors can also be wasteful for regional budgets. In this paper, we calculate indicators that characterize the depth and scope of tax exemptions provided at the regional level. The calculations are based on the open tax statistics. Through the analysis of the tax legislation as well as the economic structure of selected regions, we reveal the inducements of their higher activity: federal regional tax policy, tax competition or benefits for budget-forming companies of the region.

Authors: Viana José , Sá Rosa , Araujo Tamires , Ribeiro Rafael , Rangel Elidiane , Cruz Nilson , Martinez Luis , Bock Eduardo
Published: October 2020

Alumina, or aluminum oxide, has several applications as Biomaterial in addition to being used in machining tools, grinding, thermal insulation, shielding, refractory for heating furnaces, electrical insulators, electronic components due to its high resistance to high temperatures, hardness, mechanical resistance and chemical resistance. Its achievement is due to intermediate processes in the manufacture of primary aluminum, as well as physical and chemical deposition processes. This work aims to obtain thin films of alumina through the Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation process, using the 5052 aluminum alloy as a substrate. This study serves as a basis for applications of thin films of alumina in Implantable Centrifugal Blood Pump rotors used as Ventricular Assist Devices developed by the Laboratory of Bioengineering and Biomaterials in the Federal Institute of São Paulo. The samples were prepared with same surface area of the rotor, in order to simulate the same behavior of the rotor film deposition, thus being able to observe the morphology at different oxidation times and energies, and how the influence of time and energy on the generation of plasma micro-arcs act in the formation of the alumina film. The film was characterized with Scanning Electron Microscopy, Dispersive Energy Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction. The ceramic films in the PEO are created by the reaction of the electrolytic solution with the electrical discharges produced by a source, being deposited on the surface of the samples through micro arcs. In the future, the films will be tested for cell viability, and will also be evaluated as an internal coating of Implantable Centrifugal Blood Pump for use as Ventricular Assist Device.

This study evaluates the impacts of urban road investment and operation in China, especially the spillover effect attributable to the investment of urban road projects. Using the synthetic control method and difference-in-differences technique and taking the opening of Jiaozhou Bay Bridge and its Subsea Tunnel in China on 30 June 2011 as a natural experiment, this paper investigates the causal effect between urban road investment and its economic impacts. Results show that the project has a positive externality in terms of its contribution to the output and employment: taken the industrial relative output as outcome variable, no matter whether the covariates are controlled or not, the parameters of the interactive terms are positive; taken the industrial relative employment rate as outcome variable, the gap between the treated unit and its counterpart indicates a direct program effect for the treated city as well as a spillover effect across the cities within the sample province. Furthermore, the permutation test ascertains that the probability of achieving a spillover effect as large as the treated city is around 5.88 per cent. Overall, the investment and operation of urban road transportation infrastructure has a noticeable spillover effect. Our results are robust across a series of placebo tests.
Analysis of Presupposition in Cosmetics Advertisements
Authors: Lihan Kang
Published: October 2020

Pragmatic presupposition focuses on the study of the relationship between the speaker and the hearer at the time of communication and the language they used. It can effectively serve advertising language from the linguistic field. In other words, pragmatic presupposition can meet some of the requirements of the advertisements. Nowadays people confront a variety of commercial advertisements, such as food advertisements, drink advertisements, digital product and cosmetic advertisements, etc. In fact, advertising language is the core factor which determines the success or failure of one commercial advertisement. Most domestic and overseas scholars have studied advertising language through cooperative principles，rhetoric and systemic-functional grammar, etc. However, they do not pay enough attention to the pragmatic presupposition manifested in both Chinese and English cosmetic advertisements. Therefore, this paper conducts a comparative study based on previous studies of pragmatic presupposition with new data. The data analyzed in this study are taken from some major fashion magazines in America, United Kingdom and China, such as VOGUE, Cosmopolitan，Trends health，etc. These cosmetic advertisements were advertised in the recent 20 years. Through the analysis, it is found that there is no significant difference between Chinese and English cosmetic advertisements in terms of types of pragmatic presupposition manifested. Both Chinese and English advertisers mainly adopt four types of pragmatic presupposition: existential presupposition, factive presupposition, state presupposition and behavior presupposition, and state presupposition takes up the largest proportion. The present study provides a more comprehensive analysis of pragmatic presupposition and classification of it. In addition, the results of this study also could help advertisers and consumers increase their mutual understanding.

This paper will explore child health care and treatment seeking behavior of villagers and presents factors that discourage them from using public health facilities. The perspective of human health is not only stay behind in the contact between the disease and the human body and the extermination of the demon by providing few medicines rather it is a complex web where multiple factors are affecting human to live a sound life. The environment has a diverse effect on human life: some indulge humans with it extravaganza while some impose serious theaters but one thing in common, every environment shares basic problems of acquiring and allocating space, food, energy and resources for health. Haor people have endless problems to meet, starting from food to basic human rights. Maintaining a healthy life does end up with some formality of going to some popular and folk treatment though going to professionals is rare. Government and non-Governmental organizations have a variety of scope to improve the situation by providing health infrastructure, awareness building measures, eradicating superstition and including health education in the school curriculum.

The study was conducted to determine the effect of aqueous extract of Mormordica balsamina and Cucumis metuliferus fruits on Newcastle disease (NCD) in pullets. Ninety (90) pullets were used for the study. The pullets were divided into prophylactic and curative groups comprising 10 birds per group. For prophylactic groups aqueous extract of the fruits at concentration of 2.5g and 5.0g per 100litres of water were given to the pullets ad-libitum for two weeks and then challenged with Newcastle disease virus kudu 113 strain via intra ocular route while for curative groups the pullets were challenged with the virus and then treated with the aqueous extracts of the fruits at 2.5g and 5.0g per 100litres of water ad-libitum. Data collected were analyzed using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Statistical Analysis Software version 9.1. The results showed that M. balsamina at 2.5g/100litres of water had very good curative abilities which recorded lower clinical signs, mortality, postmortem lesions, higher antibody titer and higher white blood cell activity with a statistically significant (p<0.05) association while the same fruit at 5.0g/100litres of water had the best results for prophylactic treatments recording least clinical signs and mortality rates and highest antibody titers, highest white blood cell count which was statistically significant (P<0.05). It is therefore recommended that Mormodica balsamina can be recommended at 2.5g/100litres and at 5g/100liters of water for the control and prevention of Newcastle disease respectively to farmers and that further studies should be carried out to establish optimum concentration levels for
EVALUATION OF OCCUPATIONAL RADIATION EXPOSURE IN A RADIO-DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY IN KATSINA- NIGERIA

Poor implementation of quality assurance programs in the radiation industry has been a major setback in our locality. Several studies revealed that occupational workers are exposed to many potential hazards of ionizing radiation during radio-diagnostic procedures, yet radiation workers are often not monitored. This study aims to evaluate the occupational exposure of the radiation workers in Federal Medical Centre Katsina, and to compare the exposure with recommended occupational radiation dose limits. The quarterly readings of 20 thermo-luminescent dosimeters (TLDs') used by the radiation workers from January to December, 2019 were collected from the facility's radiation monitoring archive, and subsequently assessed and analyzed. The results indicate that the average annual equivalent dose per occupational worker range from 0.74 to 1.20 mSv and 1.28 to 2.21 mSv for skin surface and deep skin dose, measured at 10 mm and 0.07 mm tissue depth respectively. The occupational dose was within the recommended national and international limits of 5 mSv per annum or an average of 20 mSv in 5 years. Therefore, there was no significant radiation exposure to all the occupational workers in the study area. Though, the occupational radiation dose is within recommended limit, this does not eliminate stochastic effect of radiation. The study recommended that the occupational workers should adhere and strictly comply with the principles of radiation protection which includes distance, short exposure time, shielding and proper monitoring of dose limits. Furthermore, continuous training of the radiation workers is advised.
STATISTICAL PROPERTIES OF LOMAX-INVERSE EXPONENTIAL DISTRIBUTION AND APPLICATIONS TO REAL LIFE DATA
Authors: Abdulkadir Dr. Sauta  Saidu , Jerry J. , Ieren T. G.
Published: October 2020

This paper proposes a Lomax-inverse exponential distribution as an improvement on the inverse exponential distribution in the form of Lomax-inverse Exponential using the Lomax generator (Lomax-G family) with two extra parameters to generalize any continuous distribution (CDF). The probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the Lomax-inverse exponential distribution are defined. Some basic properties of the new distribution are derived and extensively studied. The unknown parameters estimation of the distribution is done by method of maximum likelihood estimation. Three real-life datasets are used to assess the performance of the proposed probability distribution in comparison with some other generalizations of Lomax distribution. It is observed that Lomax-inverse exponential distribution is more robust than the competing distributions, inverse exponential and Lomax distributions. This is an evident that the Lomax generator is a good probability model.
