Authors: Sarasa Camacho Hodei
Published: October 2022

La adolescencia es una etapa en la que el apoyo del grupo de pares supone un potencial para el desarrollo psicosocial de las y los menores. Cuando el sistema de protección a la infancia y adolescencia considera que un/a menor está en desamparo, sumerge a este/a en un proceso de institucionalización que, en muchas ocasiones, supone el alejamiento para con su grupo de iguales y su contexto originario de interrelación. En este artículo, se exploran las consecuencias de tal distanciamiento, investigando cómo evoluciona la situación de aislamiento social vivenciada durante los meses o años de institucionalización, qué supone para el vínculo afectivo y el potencial protector de la relación con el grupo de pares, y qué factores propician dicho distanciamiento.

Published: October 2022

Caffeine is a psychoactive compound used widely to enhance cognitive functions in human or animal studies. The present study examined the effects of caffeine on cognitive performance and inflammatory factors in mice with medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) ischemia. Mice underwent a photothrombotic mPFC ischemic stroke and were treated with normal saline or caffeine at different doses intranasally for 7 days. The sham surgery animals received normal saline intranasally. The Morris water maze test and social interaction test were performed to assess spatial and social memories, respectively. In addition, the levels of inflammatory proteins, including tumor necrosis factor‑alpha, interleukin‑6, and interleukin‑10, were measured in the mPFC using immunoblotting. The results showed that mPFC ischemia impaired spatial memory and social behaviors, and caffeine at doses of 0.05 and 0.1 mg improved behavioral outcomes in the ischemic groups. Also, caffeine reversed ischemia‑induced high levels of pro‑inflammatory biomarkers and enhanced
the expression of the anti‑inflammatory mediator. Our findings indicate that caffeine alleviated mPFC ischemia‑induced memory disturbances, probably through the modulation of the inflammatory mediators.

Authors: Díaz‑Barba Alejandro , Calvillo‑Robledo Argelia , Gallegos-Vieyra Priscila , Quintanar J. , Marichal‑Cancino Bruno
Published: October 2022

GPR55 is an orphan receptor whose endogenous agonists include lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) and N‑acetylethanolamides (NAEs), such as palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and anandamide. Furthermore, its physiology in the central nervous system involves motor coordination, procedural and spatial memory, pain, and anxiety, among others. Recent reports indicate that
systemic injections of O‑1602 (a GPR55 and GPR18 agonist) blocked the reinforcing effects of morphine and nicotine in the conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm, suggesting a possible participation of peripheral and/or central GPR55/GPR18 in brain reward/anti‑reward systems. In this pilot study, the endogenous GPR55 agonists LPI and PEA, the highly selective GPR55
synthetic agonist ML184 or the selective GPR55 antagonist ML193 were injected to examine their pharmacological effects on the reinforcing actions of nicotine in the CPP paradigm. Our preliminary study shows that injections of LPI, PEA, ML184 and ML193 interfered with the change in place preference induced by nicotine via mechanisms that remain to be identified (which probably include central GPR55).

Published: October 2022

Memory and cognitive impairment induced by oxidative stress are among the main hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease’s (AD) pathology. The present study aimed to investigate the potential neuroprotective effects of Thymus daenensis (T. daenensis) extract against scopolamine‑induced memory impairment and oxidative stress in rats. T. daenensis, widely distributed in Iran and Europe, is known to be a rich source of natural antioxidants and has been traditionally used for various medical purposes. The present study investigated the post‑treatment effects of T. daenensis on learning and memory functions, antioxidant cellular defense, and oxidative stress using the scopolamine rat model of AD. The experiments were performed by intraperitoneal injection of scopolamine for 10 consecutive days in Wistar male rats (180–220 g). Additionally, the animals received T. daenensis extract (50‑200 mg/kg) by gavage for 14 consecutive days after induction of memory impairment. The animals were divided into 8 groups, namely: control, 200 mg/kg of T. daenensis extract (D200), donepezil (DON), scopolamine (ALZ), ALZ animals treated with different doses of the extract (ALZ+D50 or 100 or 200 mg/kg)
and ALZ animals treated with (ALZ+DON). The animals were then subjected to the Morris water maze (MWM) paradigm as a standard criterion for memory function assessment, and after extracting the brain tissues, the related biochemical oxidative stress parameters were determined in the brain. Our results indicated that T. daenensis extract significantly improved animals’ performance in the MWM while significantly reducing oxidative stress and antioxidant imbalance. Furthermore, the extract did not show hepatotoxic effects on treated animals. In addition, the extract treatment significantly decreased both cellular malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyl
(PCO) content while conversely increasing the total reduced glutathione (GSH) content and also the levels of total and endogenous
antioxidants in the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. It seems that the administration of T. daenensis significantly improved both cellular biochemical aspects and memory performance in animal models. Conclusively, it could be beneficial for scopolamine‑induced neurotoxicity.

The Construction, Deconstruction and Reconstruction of Marital Relationship in Shashi Deshpande’s That Long Silence
Authors: Alka Rani Purwar
Published: October 2022

Over the years, Indian English Fiction has entered a new phase of an incomparable portrayal of the New Indian woman who is not always happy with the constraining cultural, natural, and sexual duties allocated to her by patriarchal India's unconscious dawn. In her parental house, the woman may be a daughter or sister, and in her husband's family, she can be a wife and mother. She will also be required to perform a professional role. Above all, Nature gave her a sex-based position in which she is naturally limited. Divided between her natural and cultural roles, a woman can be only a daughter, sister, wife, or mother but never her real ‘she’. She wants the freedom to think and live for herself as a human being and liberation from her womanhood. She sometimes escapes her culture-bound duties since there is no way out of her nature-bound responsibilities, particularly her function as a procreator and sexual partner.
Dr. Jernail S. Anand’s “Lustus: The Prince of Darkness” A Universe of Magic Poetry
Authors: Tamali Neogi
Published: October 2022

Lustus: The Prince of Darkness, the first book in Dr. J.S. Anand's Mahakaal Trilogy, is said to be a living picture of a nightmare, apocalyptic, postmodern world that has been torn apart by the evil-incarnate Lustus, who is Satan's successor, and his destructive artefacts. Satan anoints Lustus, whose evil plans are the underground forces that move human civilization toward its destruction. The poet focuses his lens on horrible and blatant social, political, ethical, religious, and moral decadence of the modern world, which makes for a fascinating and engrossing study of evil and a fascinating and engaging look at the modern human condition. Dr. Anand has skillfully dealt with the moral problems of the war between good and evil. He has done this by using a lot of metaphors, symbols, and multiple layers of identification. For example, Ravana is the head of the postmodern corporate world, Adam wears postmodern clothes, and Lustus is the Satan of postmodern times. These characters are well-versed in modern science, humanities, technology, and artificial intelligence.

Published: October 2022

Herbicide resistance in little seed canary grass (Phalaris minor Retz.) in wheat is the major sustainability issue, which puts the rice-wheat (R-W) system in north-western Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) under serious threat. To assess the resistance level, a questionnaires based survey with a systematic approach was conducted during rabi 2017-18 in five districts (Yamuna Nagar, Kaithal, Karnal, Fatehabad and Rohtak) of Haryana. The study revealed that at present, farmers of Haryana are closely back to square one, similar to the situation of herbicide resistance in P. minor like 1990's and currently, no herbicide is satisfactorily effective against resistant P. minor. Farmers are using every possible combination of herbicides in a hit and trial way. In 2017-18, half of the farmers (50%) went for the second spray, 13% applied the third spray, and even 3% of farmers opted for the fourth spray. The same pattern followed in the case of herbicide dose; in 2017-18, 38% of farmers opted for 2-4 X-dose, 16% of farmers for 4-6 X-dose, 3% of farmers for 6-8 X-dose, and even one percent farmers applied 8-10 X-dose. Negative relationship between percent control with higher dose (X) (Chi-Square value 72.560a, DF = 12 and p = <0.001) and multiple sprays (Chi-Square 67.076a, DF = 8 and P = <0.001) recorded during 2017-18 also indicates strong chances/evidences of herbicide resistance development.

In the design of reinforced concrete structures, the bond property is crucial. This is important for achieving the composite action between the two materials constituents, allowing loads to be efficiently transmitted. The higher strain hardening and ductility capacity of stainless steel over mild steel are one of its major benefits. International design codes, such as Eurocode 2, do not provide a separate design model for concrete structures with stainless reinforcing bars. The background paper to Eurocode 2 highlighted that there is no technical reason of why the Eurocode 2 design model cannot be used in conjunction with other types of reinforcement, provided allowance is made for their properties and behaviour. While this notion is valid when using a mild steel reinforcing bar, it produces erroneous results when a stainless reinforcing bar with a lap splice is used in a reinforced concrete section. Even though there has been a large number of studies on the behaviour of structure with stainless steel in recent years, most of it has been on plain stainless-steel members rather than reinforced concrete or stainless-steel reinforced concrete with lap splice. As a result, the purpose of this chapter is to evaluate and compare the behaviour of stainless and mild steel reinforced concrete with and without lap splices.

Quantum dots (QDs) are spherical particles with a size of <10 nm and, due to their unique properties, have good potential for use in the food industry. Among the various QDs, food industry researchers have highly regarded carbon quantum dots (CQDs) due to their nontoxicity and environmental friendliness. Food analysis is essential for quality assessment as well as safety control. In this regard, QDs-based fluorescence sensors can provide faster, more accurate, more sensitive, and cheaper analysis methods. The use of QDs to detect food additives, pathogens, heavy metals, nutrients, antibiotics, and insecticide residues is investigated in this chapter. QDs in packaging materials, due to their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and inhibitory properties, increase product shelf life, reduce the growth of microorganisms, improve mechanical properties, prevent gases and UV light, and reduce food waste. Their application in improved, active, intelligent, and bio-packaging will also be described. Then, their application in water treatment will be discussed. QDs, due to properties such as high aspect ratio, reactivity, electrostatic, hydrophilic, and hydrophobic interactions, have good potential for use in various water treatment methods, including membranes in filtration, adsorbents, and photocatalysts. Finally, their use to track protein will be investigated.

Background: Exercise and vitamin D can improve bone density by reducing bone loss. Growth factors such as IGF-I and IGFBP-3 are appeared to increase bone turnover in response to mechanical load, and free radicals attenuate the release of these growth factors. Objectives: We assessed the effect of concurrent aerobic training and cholecalciferol administration along with hydrogen peroxide injection on the levels of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 expression in the bone tissue of rats. Methods: Thirty-six adult Wistar rats were randomized into six groups (n = 6), including healthy control, sham, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), H2O2 + aerobic training, H2O2 + cholecalciferol, and H2O2 + aerobic training + cholecalciferol. The rats were intraperitoneally administered with one mmol/kg. Body weight (BW) of H2O2 three times a week on even days and 0.5 μg/kg.bw of cholecalciferol daily. Aerobic training (at a speed of 4 - 20 m/min, for 20 - 60 minutes) was performed five days/w for eight weeks. The expression of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 was measured by real-time (RT)-PCR. Data were analyzed using the independent t-test, two-way ANOVA (exercise × vitamin D), and Bonferroni’s post-hoc test in SPSS 26 at the significance level of P ≤ 0.05. Results: The results showed that H2O2 significantly reduced the gene expressions of IGF-I (P = 0.001) and IGFBP-3 (P = 0.001) in the bone tissue. Also, exercise and vitamin D augmented the expression of IGF-I (P = 0.008) and IGFBP-3 (P = 0.0001) as post-hoc analysis showed that aerobic training had the greatest effect on the expression of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 (P < 0.05). In addition, the amplifying effects of aerobic training and cholecalciferol on the gene expressions of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 were also remarkable (P < 0.1). Conclusions: The mechanical load created by aerobic training exerted the greatest augmenting effect on the gene expression of IGF-I and IGFBP-3. Moreover, the interactive effect of aerobic training and cholecalciferol was also significant.
AI-Based Decisiona and Disappearance of Law
Authors: Razmetaeva Yulia , Satokhina Natalia
Published: October 2022

Based on the philosophical anthropology of Paul Ricoeur, the article examines, using the example of AI-based decisions, how the concept of responsibility changes under the influence of artificial intelligence, what a reverse effect this conceptual shift has on our moral experience in general, and what consequences it has for law. The problem of AI-based decisions is said to illustrate the general trend of transformation of the concept of responsibility, which consists in replacing personal responsibility with a system of collective insurance against risks and disappearing of the capacity for responsibility from the structure of our experience, which, in turn, makes justice and law impossible.
Catholic Social Teaching and Global Public Health

Published: October 2022

The novel coronavirus and its disease, COVID-19, have revealed how many health systems are ill equipped to respond to a population’s health needs. While the Catholic Church has nearly two thousand years of robust engagement in health care, it has been lacking in the realm of global public health. The Catholic Church’s health care ministries have been preoccupied with responding to illness by offering immediate relief to medical suffering. It is necessary to complement the focus on interpersonal healing by transforming the social structures that perpetuate patterns of illness. By drawing on their social teachings, Catholic health care ministries offer a unique contribution to global public health. This paper will develop four contributions for global public health and analyze them in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: The paper examines banking service quality perceived by students as a basis for determining implications for green services. The focus was on this market segment bearing in mind its potential effects on banks' long-term profitability and students' acquaintance with environmental issues. The attention was dedicated to the green banking concept taking into account the role which banks have in creating an eco-friendly society. Purpose: The aim of the research refers to identifying banking service quality aspects that are important for students. Later, those can be used as a starting point in determining actions regarding green services in the case of the student population. Study design/methodology/approach: The quality of a bank service was modeled as a hierarchical reflective-formative construct, because of which the SmartPLS software was applied. Five SERVQUAL dimensions (assurance, empathy, reliability, responsiveness, and tangibles) were specified as lower-order reflective constructs which form the higher-order formative construct (banking service quality). After testing the model, separately for reflective and formative constructs, path coefficients were presented. Finding/conclusions: The results have shown that responsiveness and assurance represent dimensions that have the largest contribution to banking service quality, i.e. the highest path coefficients to higher-order construct. In accordance with those findings, certain implications concerning green services were given. Limitations/future research: The omission of certain variables that may be related to banking services represents the limitation of this study; hereby, in future researches, some socio-demographic characteristics (such as gender, household income, etc.) could be included in the analysis.
