THE IDEAS OF POWER, SLAVERY AND FREEDOM IN SHAKESPEARE’S 'THE TEMPEST': A POLITICAL RE-READING BASED ON HIS CHARACTERS’ TENDENCIES
Authors: Salas-Lleal Jordi
Published: December 2020

Power, slavery, freedom are three words that define some insistently frequent semantic fields in William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. These are very large figures: an extraordinary frequency, which is obviously not coincidental. This article aims to show that these three semantic fields define the three main pillars that enable a re-reading of the characters in The Tempest based on the analysis of the life positions of each of them, and ultimately in light of contemporary political thought.
COGNITIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF INCONGRUENT L2/C2 PEDAGOGIES IN TERTIARY EDUCATION. TEACHING ENGLISH LITERATURE TO SPANISH UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN SPAIN HOSTING L2 CONCEPTUAL METAPHORS
Authors: Guerra Juani
Published: December 2020

Enactive knowledge is knowledge acquired when an organism acts in an environment. Enactivating for the first time any experimental literary text is an awkward cognitive task in a first language/culture L1/C1 environment, but situated in a L2/C2 teaching/learning context it constitutes a real cognitive Gordian knot. This complex sociocognitive situation is framed in a view of language as a central aspect of human socio-cultural situatedness. From a general view of cognition as action, in this paper we are concerned with the organization of a method that facilitates this challenging teaching/learning situation:  a culture-specific L1 Spanish learning process of a L2 experimental English literary text in Tertiary Education in Gran Canaria (Spain). The case study described here explores the crosslinguistic and crosscultural conditions in which Spanish undergraduates understand the way English experimental writers think, during tasks of reading 17th or 20th c. English texts from the Enlightenment, Modernism, and Postmodernism. So far, related Spanish academic practices have mostly relied on unidirectional conduit and transmission metaphors, thus breaking the conceptual, linguistic, and cultural organization of original texts that further artfully break the organization of ordinary English language to enhance the reader’s perception of other living minds and experiences. Both Cognitive Poetics and its more dynamicist extension Biopoetics seem to be a true-to-life methodological framework for a unifying reading of texts from different cultures, times and genres. Moreover, Cognitive Semantics resumes 17th c. foundational inquiries related to thought, language and culture, as altered by human perception, in the most advanced transversal framework of Cognitive Sciences. This paper is initially framed within a contrastive Conceptual Metaphor dynamics of meaning and knowledge of the World constructions in search of a congruent first immersion by L1/C1 Spanish students into the cultural differences of these innovative  L2/C2 English texts.

The osmotic resistance of erythrocytes and the content of hemoglobin in the blood of carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and pike (Esox lucius L.) under the action of Fe3+ ions at concentrations of 0.2 and 0.5 mg/dm3, were under study which corresponded to 2 and 5 maximum permissible concentration (MPC). The research demonstrated that increased concentrations of Fe3+ ions lead to changes in the osmotic resistance of erythrocytes and the content of hemoglobin in the blood of carp and pike. The findings suggest that high concentrations of Iron (5 MPC) in carp lead to a decrease in the resistance of erythrocyte membranes, and in pike it led to increased osmotic resistance of erythrocytes, which is apparently due to different mechanisms of adaptation of fish erythrocyte membranes to adverse aquatic environment. Species-specificity is also characterized by changes in the content of hemoglobin in the blood of fish species which were researched. An increased amount of pigment in the blood of carp and a decreased amount of hemoglobin in pike under the action of 5 MPC of metal ions was established. The obtained results can be used to assess the physiological condition of fish and water quality under conditions of contamination of watercourses with metals.

Potentialities of botulinum therapy in cosmetology
Authors: Kapuler O. M.
Published: December 2020

The desire to maintain youth as long as it possible in modern society, especially among women of working age, is primarily due to the desire to be in demand, well-groomed and attractive. Currently, there are 5 main methods that contribute to improving the condition of the skin of the face, namely: the method using professional cosmetics, chemical peels, mesotherapy, treatment with an injection of botulinum toxin type A (BTA) and intradermal implants based on hyaluronic acid.

The aim of the literature review was to analyze the latest scientific data on the possibility of botulinum therapy in cosmetology.

Wrinkles of open areas of the body (primarily on the face and in the decollete) have a negative effect on the emotional background and quality of life of women. In this regard, recently there has been a significant increase in demand for aesthetic medicine services, one of the areas of which is botulinum therapy (BT). Botulinum toxin type A (BTA) is a powerful neurotoxin that inhibits the release of acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junction. Injections of small doses of botulinum toxin type A into targeted mimic muscles cause their relaxation, which smoothes the underlying layer of the skin, thereby regressing mimic wrinkles. Today, according to officially approved indications, it is used in cosmetology, botulinum therapy is used to correct mimic wrinkles in the upper third of the face, drooping corners of the mouth, in the complex correction of the face oval, in the treatment of axillary and palmar hyperhidrosis. Blocking a tear mediator like acetylcholine, not only the presynaptic membranes of neuromuscular synapses are rich, but also many anatomical structures, such as glandular tissue (sweat, other glands, etc.). This commonality of the mechanism of action on various physiological processes in our body allows us to make an assumption about the great potential of botulinum therapy in the treatment of a number of diseases associated with impaired neuromuscular conduction.

Published: December 2020

Background. Acne is one of the most common chronic dermatoses, which occurs in almost 8590% of the population. The disease manifests itself as polymorphic eruptions and is characterized by a recurrent and torpid course. Acne treatment is constantly improving, requires an integrated approach and long courses of therapy.
Aims. To increase the effectiveness of acne therapy using new opportunities and promising methodological approaches using a combination of the therapeutic effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and topical bacteriophage therapy.
Materials and methods. The study included 30 patients with papulopustular acne of mild and moderate severity. Patients with mild acne were treated with PRP procedures as monotherapy. For moderate acne, PRP therapy was combined with regular applications of a staphylococcal bacteriophage (NPO Microgen, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia). The treatment was carried out on an outpatient basis: at least 3 procedures with an interval of 12 weeks (up to a maximum of 6 procedures within one year). The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the parametric Student's t-test. Data processing was carried out using the Biostat software. The value of the level of statistical significance of differences was taken as p 0.05.
Results. Evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment was carried out on the basis of an analysis of the immediate outcomes of the disease, the dynamics of clinical symptoms and the severity of acne: regression of inflammatory elements of acne, a decrease in the phenomenon of seborrhea, improvement of the skin relief. As a result of the therapy, a transition to remission was noted in 16.6% of patients, an improvement in their condition 36.7%, a significant improvement 46.7%.
Conclusions. An integrated approach combining PRP procedures and bacteriophage therapy can serve as a pathogenetically substantiated strategy for treating acne. A promising direction for further research is the development of new regimens and combinations of alternative therapeutic strategies using bacteriophages.

Published: December 2020

Clinical reasoning. There is a need to optimize the use of UV-B-311 nm and PUVA-therapy in patients with mycosis fungoides to determine the duration of the treatment regimen, the number of sessions per week, and ultraviolet irradiation regimen.
Goal of research. Evaluation of the effect of the type and duration phototherapy on efficacy in patients with mycosis fungoides.
Principle. A comparative, non-randomized study of the effectiveness of phototherapy in patients with mycosis fungoides in the early stages. Evaluation of the effectiveness of UV-B-311 nm and PUVA therapy was performed using the BSA index (area of skin lesions) and Modified Severity-Weighted Assessment Tool (mSWAT), as well as according to the criteria proposed by the International Society for Skin Lymphomas (ISCL), the European Organization for the Study and Cancer Treatment (EORTC) and United States Cutaneous Lymphoma Consortium (USCLC).
Results. The study included 14 patients with mycosis fungoides, 5 of whom received treatment with UV-B-311 nm, 9 PUVA therapy. A strong correlation was found between the duration of UV-B-311 nm therapy with mSWAT delta (R = 0.90; p = 0.038) and BSA delta (R = 0.90; p = 0.038), while similar correlation was not found in the PUVA-therapy group (mSWAT (R = 0.24; p = 0.527); BSA (R = 0.09; p = 0.823)). When comparing the effectiveness of therapy between the treatment group UV-B-311 nm and PUVA therapy, delta mSWAT and BSA at the 20th procedure, delta mSWAT and BSA after the end of therapy did not have a statistically significant difference between the UVB-311 nm and PUVA groups.
Conclusion. Statistically significant correlation was found between the number of procedures and the effectiveness of therapy In the UV-B-311 nm group. An increase in the number of PUVA therapy procedures (after 20) does not lead to a statistically significant increase in the effectiveness of treatment. Additional research is needed to increase the level of evidence of the results and develop optimal phototherapy regimens.

Objectives:

The objective of the study was to assess the level of awareness among health care professionals regarding interrelationships between diabetes mellitus (DM) and periodontal diseases.

Material and Methods:

A self-administered, structured questionnaire based on scientific literature, and practice was distributed among 100 non-oral health care professionals (NOHCP) and 100 oral-health care professionals (OHCP) for assessment of their awareness regarding DM and periodontitis interrelationship (DPI). One hundred fifty-four (154) participants who responded and returned the questionnaire were interviewed to avoid any obscurity pertinent to the questionnaire and to obtain their suggestions or recommendations. Twenty-seven participant’s questionnaires were excluded due to non-availability for interview to clarify the information given. Responses of 127 participants were finally statistically analyzed.

Results:

Almost 79% of OHCPs were aware of the DPI. About 9% of OHCPs did not agree with DPI and 11% of them were “unaware” about the DPI. Similarly, about 65% of NOHCPs were aware of the DPI. About 15% of OHCPs did not agree with DPI and 19% of OHCPs were “unaware” about the DPI.

Conclusion:

A limited awareness was observed among health care professionals participating in the present study for DPI, highlighting a gap of knowledge, attitude, and practice for DPI, which was higher among NOHCP than OHCPs.

Published: December 2020

Variasi diurnal adalah salah satu komponen utama variasi atmosfer di kawasan tropis yang menimbulkan dampak terhadap siklus hidrologi dan bidang terkait. Sebagai interaksi antara daratan dan lautan sekitarnya, fenomena ini dipengaruhi oleh kondisi topografi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis variasi diurnal dari akumulasi, frekuensi dan intensitas curah hujan dalam kaitannya dengan topografi di Sumatera Barat menggunakan data rain gauge dari 17 stasiun selama 2014‒2019. Pola diurnal dan semidiurnal curah hujan dimodelkan melalui metode dekomposisi harmonik menggunakan discrete Fourier transform (DFT). Secara umum, akumulasi dan frekuensi curah hujan daerah pesisir pantai dan dataran tinggi, lebih besar daripada daerah dataran rendah. Namun sebaliknya, intensitas curah hujan lebih besar di dataran rendah daripada wilayah pesisir pantai dan dataran tinggi. Secara umum puncak intensitas curah hujan terjadi pada pukul 15.00‒16.00 WIB pada daerah pesisir pantai dan pada pukul 17.00‒18.00 WIB di dataran rendah. Hujan memiliki frekuensi kemunculan tertinggi pada pukul 16.00‒18.00 WIB di sebagian besar daerah pesisir pantai dan pada pukul 19.00‒21.00 WIB di dataran rendah. Puncak akumulasi hujan terjadi pada pukul 16.00‒19.00 WIB di sebagian besar daerah pesisir pantai dan pada pukul 20.00‒22.00 WIB di dataran rendah. Puncak curah hujan pada pagi hari juga ditemukan di pulau-pulau kecil pada kawasan Sumatera Barat. Selain puncak dominan pada sore hari, beberapa lokasi memiliki puncak kedua yang intensitasnya lebih rendah. Puncak dari akumulasi, frekuensi dan intensitas curah hujan dari rain gauge konsisten dengan data integrated multi-satellite retrievals for GPM (IMERG) tetapi puncak curah hujan dari data IMERG satu jam lebih lambat daripada data rain gauge, sebagaimana pernah ditemukan oleh peneliti sebelumnya. Akumulasi, frekuensi dan intensitas curah hujan diurnal sesuai dengan pola distribusi variasi diurnal temperatur dan kelembaban relatif.
The Self-Absorption Effect of Ni-63 Beta Source to the Silicon Carbide based Betavoltaic Battery
Authors: Rahastama Swastya , Saputra Yohannes Dwi , Waris Abdul
Published: December 2020

A typical planar structure is the most feasible conceptual design of betavoltaic battery due to its simplicity. The self-absorption of beta source, however, causes a limitation to the geometrical efficiency.  Herein, we tried to investigate the self-absorption event in Ni-63 beta source by changing the geometrical aspects and evaluated its effect on each layer of a 4H-SiC semiconductor as the radiation-electricity converter. The design configuration from previous literature was adopted and the model was developed using Monte Carlo N-Particle X (MCNPX) consists of radioisotope source, semiconductor, and also ohmic contacts. The energy of beta emission was adjusted to the actual Ni-63 beta spectra with an isotropic distribution of ejected particles. The average beta energy deposition degrades along with the addition of source mass thickness, but the n+ substrate has a unique result where a peak is observed at 0.1246 mg/cm2 due to the self-absorption effect. Furthermore, the rectangular surface area magnification gives a positive impact on the beta energy deposition up to 2.48% and the photon average energy deposition up to 137.21%.  The results of average electron absorbed dose are consistent with Oldano-Pasquarelli semi-empirical theory of self-absorption in the beta source, where the upper layer receives a wider angular distribution of particles compared to the lower one, which corresponds to the counting geometrical coefficients.
Semi-Automated Optimization of the CHARMM36 Lipid Force Field to Include Explicit Treatment of Long-Range Dispersion

Published: December 2020

The development of the CHARMM lipid force field (FF) can be traced back to the early 1990s with its current version denoted CHARMM36 (C36). The parametrization of C36 utilized high-level quantum mechanical data and free energy calculations of model compounds before parameters were manually adjusted to yield agreement with experimental properties of lipid bilayers. While such manual fine-tuning of FF parameters is based on intuition and trial-and-error, automated methods can identify beneficial modifications of the parameters via their sensitivities and thereby guide the optimization process. This paper introduces a semi-automated approach to reparametrize the CHARMM lipid FF with consistent inclusion of long-range dispersion through the LennardJones particle-mesh Ewald (LJ-PME) approach. The optimization method is based on thermodynamic reweighting with regularization with respect to the C36 set. Two independent optimizations with different topology restrictions are presented. Targets of the optimizations are primarily liquid crystalline phase properties of lipid bilayers and the compression isotherm of monolayers. Pair correlation functions between water and lipid functional groups in aqueous solution are also included to address headgroup hydration. While the physics of the reweighting strategy itself is well understood, applying it to heterogeneous, complex anisotropic systems poses additional challenges. These were overcome through careful selection of target properties and reweighting settings allowing for the successful incorporation of the explicit treatment of long-range dispersion, and we denote the newly optimized lipid force field as C36/LJ-PME. The current implementation of the optimization protocol will facilitate the future development of the CHARMM and related lipid force fields.
Molten-Salt Flux Mediated Synthesis of ZnO-SnO2 Composites: Effects of Surface Areas and Crystallinities on Photocatalytic Activity
Authors: Austin Rachelle , Hou Feier
Published: December 2020

In this study, ZnO-SnO2 composites were synthesized using flux synthesis, a synthetic approach different from previous studies, in which molten ZnCl2 acted both as a reactant and as the flux for the reaction. Their photocatalytic properties were measured for the degradation of the organic dye, methylene blue. It was found that as the temperatures of the synthesis increase, the specific surface areas of the ZnO-SnO2 composites decrease, which would decrease their photocatalytic activities due to decreased adsorption of the dye on the surface of the composites; while their crystallinity increases, which would increase their photocatalytic activities due to the smaller concentration of defects and thus improved mobility of the charge carriers. An interplay of those two factors affects their photocatalytic activities, with the composite with the highest photocatalytic activity degrading approximately 95% of the methylene blue dye within 10 minutes. By changing the temperature of the flux synthesis alone, the crystallinity and surface area of the ZnO-SnO2 composite can be changed, which provides a possible way to obtain ZnO-SnO2 composites with relatively high crystallinity and surface area to maximize their photocatalytic activity.

Published: December 2020

Automation of the molecular design-make-test-analyze cycle speeds up the identification of hit and lead compounds for drug discovery. Using deep learning for computational molecular design and a customized microfluidics platform for on-chip compound synthesis, liver X receptor (LXR) agonists were generated from scratch. The computational pipeline was tuned to explore the chemical space defined by known LXRα agonists, and to suggest structural analogs of known ligands and novel molecular cores. To further the design of lead-like molecules and ensure compatibility with automated on-chip synthesis, this chemical space was confined to the set of virtual products obtainable from 17 different one-step reactions. Overall, 25 de novo generated compounds were successfully synthesized in flow via formation of sulfonamide, amide bond, and ester bond. First-pass in vitro activity screening of the crude reaction products in hybrid Gal4 reporter gene assays revealed 17 (68%) hits, with up to 60-fold LXR activation. The batch re-synthesis, purification, and re-testing of 14 of these compounds confirmed that 12 of them were potent LXRα or LXRβ agonists. These results support the utilization of the proposed design-make-test-analyze framework as a blueprint for automated drug design with artificial intelligence and miniaturized bench-top synthesis.

Discovering the problems existing in the development of fisheries, and making up and correcting them in time, has an important role in promoting the development of fisheries and social and economic development. In recent years, the issue of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” has been a hot topic of discussion. During the course of the problem, the party and the government introduced a series of safeguard measures and policy systems. Based on this, this paper focuses on the problems existing in the fishermen's social security system and the measures to solve the problems. At the same time, the reasons for the reform of the fishermen's social security system are also briefly explained. The main reasons can be divided into four points, namely the cost of living, unemployment insurance for fishermen, fishery resources, and income of fishermen, etc., which are the reasons why the fishery social security system is in urgent need of optimization, contributing to the sustainable development and progress of fisheries.

After nearly 40 years of development, private education in China has become an important growth point for the development of education and an important force for promoting education reform. Private education institutions can be divided into two categories: private schools engaged in academic education and private education training institutions engaged in non-academic education. Private non-academic education institutions have played an important role in expanding domestic demand, adjusting the structure, increasing employment and promoting social development, and thus have flourished. For example, yu minhong founded new Oriental school in 1993, and Yin xiong founded giant education in 1994. In September 2006, new Oriental education group was listed in the United States. Since then, a number of private education enterprises, such as bowen net, China net education, xuesi and xueda education, have been listed in the United States, which has pushed the private non-academic education in China to a new height. However, with the rapid development of private non-academic education enterprises, they are also facing great challenges.

Compared with traditional employment methods, the sharing economy has undergone significant changes in terms of labor. The sharing economy is extremely dependent on information technology, and the employment relationship is relatively vague. This poses great challenges to the welfare, income security, and stability of college graduates’ employment. This paper explores and analyzes the new employment methods from the perspective of the sharing economy.

Head lice (Pediculosis humanus capitis) is a parasite sticking on the scalp and in between the hair. It lives by laying its eggs on some strands of hair and sucking blood from the scalp, which results in itching, inflammation, restless sleep, and concentration degradation. Lice could also lower self-esteem. The infection may also lead to anaemia, which affects the learning pattern and cognitive function of children. However, the use of chemical insecticide may have a harmful effect. Therefore, this research tested three natural ingredients, namely garlic, black turmeric, and red betel vine, as the pediculicide. This research was aimed to find safe, natural ingredients to eliminate head lice while maintaining personal hygiene. It was an experimental research with Randomized Posttest Only Control Grup Design. This research's subject was 28 lice, which were grouped into seven treatments with four lice in each group. The seven treatments included the treatment by spraying garlic, black turmeric, and red betel vine solution. The concentration of those natural ingredients was determined at 8% and 16%. The control group was sprayed by using water. The finding showed the significance of black turmeric (p-value 0.000), garlic (p-value 0.000), and red betel vine (p-value 0.001) as the effective pediculicide. The effective concentration as pediculicide was a 16% solution.
