Published: August 2022

Most people will try to find alternative solutions that can be done to solve problems or events that can cause stress. When internal resources and other external resources are unable to solve the problem, the individual will be trapped in a crisis situation. This study aims to examine the cognitive, emotional and social impacts that can be experienced by individuals with experiences facing crisis situations in their lives. The research uses a qualitative approach with the type of phenomenological research. The sample in this study were students of the Guidance and Counseling Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Ahmad Dahlan University as many as 56 students taken by purposive sampling (students who had experienced crisis situations). Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and interviews. The data were analyzed by collecting and describing all the phenomena that occurred as a result of the crisis experience experienced by the individual and grouped by type. The results of this study reaffirm that unresolved crisis conditions can have a long-term impact on cognitive, emotional and social aspects and have negative impacts. In the cognitive aspect, some of the stress reactions that arise are still often remembering events, negative self-image and difficulty concentrating. In the affective aspect, the stress reactions that arise include feelings of anxiety, fear, sadness, anger, anxiety, loss of hope and uncontrolled mood changes. On the social aspect, stress reactions that arise include withdrawing behavior from the social environment, difficulty interacting with other people and avoiding certain places or activities.

A Comprehensive Comparison between Cloud Computing and Mobile Edge Computing
Authors: Munmun Farha Akhter , Anis Adeeba , Hossain Md. Shohrab
Published: August 2022

Cloud computing provides a user-convenient, low-expense, and powerful computing platform for sharing resources like online storage, applications, and software through the internet. But with the exponential growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and massive amounts of private data in the network, the centralized and conventional architecture of cloud computing has become a bottleneck because of limited bandwidth and resources. At the same time security is also an open concern for cloud computing. Hence, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is an extended architecture of cloud computing that enables data processing and storing at the edge of mobile networks. Instead of having some unique features (distributed architecture, parallel processing, low latency), MEC has also brought some security threats and challenges. In this paper, a comprehensive comparison between cloud computing and MEC has been presented in terms of features and security threats. Also, the security mechanisms for handling the threats are analyzed.

Disposal, Destruction and Disarmament: Comparative Analysis of US Chemical Weapon and Weapons Plutonium Stockpile Reductions
Authors: Tracy Cameron
Published: August 2022

The elimination of stockpiled weaponry constitutes a key step in arms control and disarmament processes, lending permanence and irreversibility to arms reductions. Yet it has proven challenging in practice. The destruction of advanced weapon components, like lethal chemical agents and the fissile materials from which nuclear weapons are constructed, is often technically complex and costly. To elucidate the dynamics of this back-end of arms control and disarmament processes, this article compares two representative cases involving analogous challenges but divergent outcomes: the nearly complete elimination of the US chemical weapon stockpile and stalled efforts to shrink the US weapons plutonium stockpile. Drawing from both engineering and organisation theory, technical and social distinctions between these efforts are assessed to identify key factors governing their outcomes. This analysis shows that the technical bases for stockpile reductions were broadly analogous between the two cases, and thus fail to explain their divergence. Rather, differing organisational characteristics among the responsible institutions proved decisive. These fostered either adaptive (in the chemical weapon case) or path-dependent (in the weapons plutonium case) organisational planning, influencing the ability of the responsible entities to pivot from stockpile maintenance to an unfamiliar reductions mission.

The story of a summit nucleus: Hillslope boulders and their effect on erosional patterns and landscape morphology in the Chilean Coastal Cordillera
Authors: Lodes Emma , Scherler Dirk , van Dongen Renee , Wittmann Hella
Published: August 2022

Abstract. While landscapes are broadly sculpted by tectonics and climate, on a catchment scale, the density of bedrock fractures can influence hillslope denudation rates and dictate the location of topographic highs and valleys. In this work, we used 10Be cosmogenic radionuclide analysis to measure the denudation rates of bedrock, boulders, and soil, in three granitic landscapes with different climates in Chile, with the hypothesis that high fracture density reduces grain size and increases denudation rates. Denudation rates range from 10 to 15 m Myr-1 for bedrock and boulders and from 15 to 20 m Myr-1 for soil in the humid and semi-arid climates, and are higher in the mediterranean climate (~40–140 m Myr-1), likely due to steeper slopes. We found that hillslope bedrock and boulders erode more slowly than the surrounding soil in the diffusively-eroding study sites. Furthermore, across a bedrock ridge in the humid site, bedrock denudation rates increase with fracture density. These findings are consistent with the observation that streams in our field sites follow the orientation of at least one major fault orientation. Our results suggest that tectonically-induced fractures and faults dictate landscape evolution through reducing grain size and thus enhancing differential denudation rates.
Application of bagging, boosting and stacking ensemble and EasyEnsemble methods to landslide susceptibility mapping in the Three Gorges Reservoir area of China
Authors: Wu Xueling , Wang Junyang
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Since the impoundment of the Three Gorges Reservoir area in 2003, the potential risks of geological disasters in the reservoir area have increased significantly, among which the hidden dangers of landslides are particularly prominent. To reduce casualties and damage, efficient and precise landslide susceptibility evaluation methods are important. Multiple ensemble models have been used to evaluate the susceptibility of the upper part of Badong County to landslides. In this study, EasyEnsemble technology was used to solve the imbalance between landslide and nonlandslide sample data. The extracted evaluation factors were input into three ensemble models, bagging, boosting, and stacking models, for training, and landslide susceptibility maps (LSMs) were drawn. According to the importance analysis, the important factors affecting the occurrence of landslides are altitude, terrain surface texture (TST), distance to residents, distance to rivers and land use. Comparing the influences of different grid sizes on the susceptibility results, a larger grid was found to lead to the overfitting of the prediction results. Therefore, a 30 m grid was selected as the evaluation unit. The accuracy rate, area under the curve (AUC), recall rate, test set precision, and Kappa coefficient of the multigrained cascade forest (gcForest) model under the stacking method were 0.958, 0.991, 0.965, 0.946, and 0.91, respectively, which were significantly better than the values produced by the other two models.

Abstract. Leaf chlorophyll content (LCC), a prominent plant physiological trait and a proxy for leaf photosynthetic capacity, plays a crucial role in the monitoring of agriculture and carbon cycle modeling. In this study, global 500 m LCC weekly dataset (GLCC) for the period 2003–2012 to 2018–2020 were produced from ENVISAT MERIS and Sentinel-3 OLCI satellite data using a physically-based radiative transfer modeling approach. Firstly, five look-up-tables (LUTs) were generated using PROSAIL-D and PROSPECT-D+4-Scale models for woody and non-woody plants, respectively. For the four LUTs applicable to woody plants, each LUT contains three sub-LUTs corresponding to three types of crown height. For the one LUT applicable to non-woody vegetation type, it includes 25 sub-LUTs corresponding to five kinds of canopy structure and five kinds of soil background. The average of the LCC inversion results of all sub-LUTs for each plant function type (PFT) was considered as the retrieval. The LUT algorithm was validated using the synthetic dataset, which gave an R2 value higher than 0.79 and an RMSE value lower than 10.5 μg cm−2. Then, the GLCC dataset was generated using the MERIS/OLCI multispectral data over 2003–2012 and 2018–2020 at a spatial resolution of 500 m and temporal resolution of one week. The GLCC dataset was validated using 161 field measurements, covering six PFTs. The validation results yielded an overall accuracy of R2 = 0.41 and RMSE = 8.94 μg cm−2. Finally, the GLCC dataset presented acceptable consistency with the existing MERIS LCC dataset developed by Croft et al. (2020). OLCI, as the successor to MERIS data, was used for the first time to co-produce LCC data from 2003–2012 to 2018–2020 in conjunction with MERIS data. This new GLCC dataset spanning nearly 20 years will provide a valuable opportunity for the monitoring of vegetation growth and terrestrial carbon cycle modeling. The GLCC dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.25452/figshare.plus.20439351 (Qian et al., 2022b).
Comparison and evaluation of updates to WRF-Chem (v3.9) biogenic emissions using MEGAN
Authors: Morichetti Mauro , Madronich Sasha , Passerini Giorgio , Rizza Umberto , Mancinelli Enrico , Virgili Simone , Barth Mary
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emitted from
the natural ecosystem are highly reactive and can thus impact air quality
and aerosol radiative forcing. BVOC emission models (e.g., Model of
Emissions of Gases and Aerosols from Nature – MEGAN) in global and regional
chemical transport models still have large uncertainties in estimating
biogenic trace gases because of uncertainties in emission activity factors,
specification of vegetation type, and plant emission factors. This study
evaluates a set of updates made to MEGAN v2.04 in the Weather Research and
Forecasting model coupled with chemistry (WRF-Chem version 3.9). Our study
considers four simulations for each update made to MEGAN v2.04: (i) a
control run with no changes to MEGAN, (ii) a simulation with the emission
activity factors modified following MEGAN v2.10, (iii) a simulation
considering the changes to the plant functional type (PFT) emission factor,
and (iv) a simulation with the isoprene emission factor calculated within
the MEGAN module instead of being prescribed by the input database. We evaluate
two regions, Europe and the southeastern United States, by comparing WRF-Chem
results to ground-based monitoring observations in Europe (i.e., AirBase
database) and aircraft observations obtained during the NOMADSS field
campaign. We find that the updates to MEGAN v2.04 in WRF-Chem caused
overpredictions in ground-based ozone concentrations in Europe and in
isoprene mixing ratios compared to aircraft observations in the southeastern
US. The update in emission activity factors caused the largest biases. These
results suggest that further experimental and modeling studies should be
conducted to address potential shortcomings in BVOC emission models.
Predicting Water Retention Curves for Binary Mixtures – Concept and Application for Constructed Technosols
Authors: Willaredt Moreen , Peters Andre , Nehls Thomas
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Constructed Technosols are important means to substitute natural soil material such as peat and geogenic material to be used in urban green infrastructure. One of the most important features of such soils is related to the water cycle and can be described by the soil water retention curve (WRC). The WRC depends on the composition of the constructed Technosols e.g. their components and their mixing ratio. The diversity of possible components and the infinite number of mixing ratios practically prohibit the experimental identification of the optimal composition regarding the targeted soil functions. In this study we propose a compositional model for predicting the WRC of any binary mixture based on the measured WRCs of it’s two pure components only (basic scheme) or with one additional mixture (extended scheme). The model is developed from existing methods for estimating the porosity in binary mixtures. The compositional model approach was tested for four data sets of measured WRCs for different binary mixtures taken from the literature. To assess the suitability of these mixtures for typical urban applications, the distribution of water and air in 50 cm high containers filled with the mixtures was predicted under hydrostatic conditions. The difference between the maxima of the pore-size distributions ∆PSDmax of the components indicates the applicability of the compositional approach. For binary mixtures with small ∆PSDmax, the water content deviations between the predicted and the measured WRCs range from 0.004 to 0.039 m3 m−3. For mixtures with a large ∆PSDmax, the compositional model is not applicable. The knowledge of the WRC of any mixing ratio enables the quick choice of a composition, which suits the targeted application.

Racism is as old as human history. It gives rise to different shapes such as race, caste, color, creed, nationality and origin. Ancient philosophers, namely, Aristotle, Rousseau, Hobbes and Locke have been against racism and supported humanity. Discrimination against humanity is a dark chapter for human rights. Art 1(3) of UN declaration presents to accomplish global collaboration by promoting and encouraging reverence for all human freedoms and rights devoid of difference as to race, sex, language or religion. Art 2 of UDHR speaks that “every person is entitled for all the rights and liberties mentioned in this declaration, without any sorts of distinction.’ 20th Century witnessed the abolition of slavery and trafficking of men in all forms. All the constitutions of the world have provisions of fundamental human rights without any discrimination and distinction, more than that, the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as well as his Last Sermon are the sources of fundamental rights, equality of all races with reference to ancient and modern laws of the world.

He has given us the code of conduct for this life in His book and through the life of His messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم . Those who fulfill this responsibility will be rewarded with the Paradise which is so beautiful that no eye has ever seen anything like it nor any mind has mind ever imagined. It would be a great loss for the ones who live a lifestyle contrary to the commands of their Creator and get deprived of the great rewards that He has prepared for the successful ones. There are certain people about whom it is mentioned in the ahadith of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that they would be the ones who would not even smell the fragrance (or perfume) of Paradise. It is accordingly very important to identify all the reasons that lead to this outcome and avoid them in our lives. With this objective in mind, we have surveyed hadith literature to identify all narrations that are linked to this topic. As a result, twenty-five types of actions and behaviors have been identified and reported in this paper. May Allah swt enable us to avoid these behaviors, attributes, actions, and attitudes and enable us to live a life of purity and righteousness.

This paper interrogated the Western media perception regarding Pakistani society, culture, image and media. It was the developing concern of Western electronic and print media to discuss the various issues related to Pakistan and mainly politics, international relations, society and culture were stressed upon. The present study explored the coverage of American and British press (the Telegraph, the Guardian, the New York Times & the Washington Post) regarding Pakistan. For this reason, the data got from the following newspapers the Telegraph, the Guardian, the New York Times & the Washington Post for the three specific months. The findings revealed that overall negative impression was found in American and British newspapers regarding Pakistani society, culture and media. Pakistani culture was attributed with patriarchal, male chauvinistic with blend of conservative’s tribal norms; extremism, rigidity, violent behavior and religious fanaticism. Women were shown as living in shabby conditions and they were deprived of their fundamental rights. The issues of crime against women, especially in the countryside about domestic violence, acid burning, and abused rape were highlighted. However, softer tone was depicted for pro-Western, liberals’ individuals, NGOs and other elements as compared to the right-wing groups which received more negative frames. Overall the negative issues related to natural disasters, over population, corruption, mismanagement, poor human rights, pervasiveness of conservative’s rightwing groups, and insecurity for journalists dominated the coverage.

Independence of judiciary is a topic of protracted debate commonly involving essentials and merits of independence added by its constituents and due execution etc. First, the word independence has been adorned only with judicial organ although the meaning of this feature as a characteristic is essential ingredient of all institutions and their constituent sectors. Importance of the word independence has been applied in a distinguish sense to mean that judiciary as an organ maintained in self-contained composition, competence, and capabilities for administer of justice in the country. Being Independent of external interference or fairly performing judicial function is a privilege and a duty. Judiciary must obtain, secure, defend and continue with its independence by virtue of establishing rule of law in the country. Judiciary shall not only administer justice, but that also must ensure continuity of its organizational capacity at all costs. Meaning thereby its professional responsibilities must continue judiciously by overpowering any obstruction from any other person or organ. That is why Judiciary has been declared guardian of the constitution as well. This study must examine to what extent independence of judiciary has been exercised in Pakistan in the context of its actual meanings and requirements. Doctrine of independence of judiciary outstandingly elaborates that judiciary is to be equipped of self-sustaining condition and can never shift the burden of failure to external factors. When a judicial system under the constitution is given independence or it claims so, responsibility of its execution and maintenance is retained on its articulatio humeri. The study will conclude that in case of failure judiciary shall have to acknowledge responsibility all alone.
Corruption and confrontation of the plague in folklore: beliefs, superstitions and magical practices (ethnocultural aspects)
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Arapu Valentin
Published: August 2022

In Romanian folklore, the personified Plague has the image of an evil creature that devours people without mercy, eating them literally. The demonic face of the plague, with its skeletal appearance in iconographic art, comes to feed the phobias of people, frightened by the fatal weapons of the plague: sword, scythe or sickle. Two diametrically opposed perceptions of the impact of the Plague on people's lives persist in folklore sources. According to the first, the plague is relentless and devastating, killing people despite their attempts to corrupt it through generous gifts. The second perception, however, offers a ray of hope to people by applying remedies of magical medicine and by facing the plague based on ingenious actions, undertaken by simple and extremely resourceful people. And if in the case of the first perception a state of mind marked by fatalism and despair predominates, then in the case of the second, the prospects of facing the Plague are optimistic and life-giving. The dialogues of the central heroes with the Plague from which both phobias and multiple prejudices and superstitions of people emerge are quasi important in folklore sources. However, the plague is fooled by a shepherd who knows some effective health measures to eradicate the disease. The method of the heroine from the legend of “The Sun and the Swallow” proves to be just as effective when the Plague literally cracked the enormous amount of milk she drank.

The article is devoted to the traditional ceramics of Bukovyna – one of the ethnographical regions of Ukraine, where in the XIXth–XXth centuries the pottery of high-quality technology and high artistic level was developed. The historical and cultural processes, which occurred on this territory and influenced the development of handicraft are considered. The pottery centers are highlighted and the creative works of leading potters are analyzed. The peculiarities of manufacturing technology, the local names and the purpose of clay products are recorded. The characteristic features of the traditional pottery of Bukovyna are researched: the typology and the main shapes of wares, the artistic qualities of ceramics decoration, the dominant motifs of the ornaments, the characteristics of individual techniques and of expressive methods. On the basis of art-critical analysis, by comparing the pottery vessels from Bukovyna with the ones from neighboring ethnographic regions of Ukraine (Prykarpattia, Podillia), as well as with the pottery ware from foreign countries, the local peculiarities of traditional ceramics of Bukovyna are determined and common features with the samples of pottery ware from Moldova, Romania are found. Previously unknown artworks and names of craftsmen are introduced in the scientific circulation.
“The Gypsy issue” in Hungary during the interwar years (II)
Authors:   Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary, Hajnáczky Tamás
Published: August 2022

During the interwar years in Hungary, the authorities approached the issue of Gypsy settlements mainly through regulations concerning public health. Measures to try to settle the so-called “wandering Gypsies” resulted indirectly in the creation of new Gypsy settlements. The conflicting interests of government ministries and the local authorities became all the more apparent, as they both expected the provision of the accompanying necessary funds to resolve the “Gypsy issue” from the other party. The implementation of the decrees issued by the central authorities was often obstructed and faced criticism from officials, doctors, and gendarmerie responsible for their implementation at local level. During the period in question, the content of the “Gypsy issue” gradually changed: during the 1920s it mostly meant the settlement of “wandering Gypsies”; while later, in the 1930s, along with the old ones new challenges arose related to the Gypsy settlements, which increased both in size and number. The author uses little-researched primary sources: resolutions approved by the Hungarian authorities and Hungarian interwar periodicals such as: the Csendőrségi Lapok (Gendarmerie Journals), Magyar Közigazgatás (Hungarian Public Administration) and Népegészségügy (Public Health).

Tenofovir disproxyl fumerate (TDF) is widely used drug in anti HIV treatment. The main disadvantage with TDF is its low bioavailability. To overcome this problem TDF is formulated in to nanoparticles by using nanoprecipitation method. The formulated nanoparticles were in the range of 106.8nm to 516.4nm. The effect of PLGA and TPGS on the formulated nanoparticles were also studied. It is evident that the concentration of PLGA played an important role in the entrapment and drug loading capacity. On the basis of drug loaded and entrapment efficiency the F8 formulation was considered as optimized formulation. Different analytical techniques were used to determine the amount of drug present in the optimized formulation. The optimized formulation (F8) was subjected to different drug release kinetic models and its stability studies were also conducted in accordance with ICH guidelines.

Published: August 2022

The most common case of periodontitis is chronic periodontitis. Chronic periodontitis is characterized by the destruction of junctional epithelium caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis. Junctional epithelial attached to the tooth are mediated by laminin-5. The cleavage of the γ2 chain of laminin-5 causes junctional epithelium destruction. The aim of this study is to observe the expression of laminin-5γ2 in 1% curcumin-treated rats with periodontitis. Forty-eight periodontitis rats model were divided into 2 groups. The first is control group consisted of twenty-four periodontitis rats model exposed with Porphyromonas gingivalis. The second is treatment group consisted of twenty-four periodontitis rats model exposed to Porphyromonas gingivalis and 1% curcumin administration. Each group was observed at 24 hours on days-7 and days-14. Junctional epithelium samples in sagittal direction were examined by immunohistochemistry and were statistically analyzed using t-test (α=0.05). The result showed that laminin-5γ2 expression in treatment group was significantly lower than the control group on days-7 and days-14. In treatment group, laminin-5γ2 expression at 24 hours was significantly lower than days-7 and days-14. In treatment group, laminin-5γ2 expression did not experience a significant difference in between days-7 and days-14. This study showed that 1% curcumin can reduce laminin-5γ2 expression in periodontitis.
