Published: November 2021

This study aims to prepper stable thermodynamically dilutable nanoemulsion formulation of Beauveria bassiana with the lowest surfactant concentration that could improve its solubility stability. Formulations were prepared from oil in the water nanoemulsion region of phase diagrams subjected to thermodynamic stability tests. We found propanetriol was the highest germination rate at 5% and 10% concentration, 46.66 and 53.33%, respectively. Castor oil achieved a 43.00 germination rate at 1%. Tween 80 gave 54.33 % germination rate at 10%. While Tween 20 showed a 48 % germination rate at 5%. At the concentration, 1% Term 1284 gave 43.33% rate germination. Nanoemulsion composed of propanetriol and nonionic surfactants, with a mean particle size ranging from 25.08 to 75.35 nm, was formulated for various concentrations of the oils and surfactants. Water in oil emulsion was prepared using propanetriol oil, Tween 20, Tween 80, Term 1284, and water. Nanoemulsion of 25.08, 33.75, and 75.35 nm size was obtained at a 45: 15 % ratio of oil and surfactant, and it was found to be stable. The larger droplet size 75.35 nm of formulation Tween 20 and the smaller size was 25.08 nm in the formulation of Term 1284. The higher viscosity value was 16 mPas of formulation Tween 80, and the lowest value was 7.80 in the formulation of Term 1284. To demonstrate the possible employment of these systems, they were used to formulate a nanoformulation pesticide.
Interaktif Masyarakat Terhadap Hukum Dalam Kehidupan Normal Baru Pasca COVID-19
Authors: Fransisco Wawan
Published: November 2021

Hukum yang berlaku dalam masyarakat, pada dasarnya berasal dari masyarakat itu sendiri agar terciptanya keamanan, keselamatan dan secara sengaja pula dibebankan kepadanya, agar masalah/konflik kesehatan serta keselamatan dapat diminimalisirkan. Metode dalam tulisan ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normative. Hukum yang diterapkan selalu memperhatikan kaidah yuridis, kaidah filosofis, kaidah sosiologi sehingga tidak bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai yang hidup dalam masyarakat. Hukum yang dibuat dalam masyarakat mempunyai tujuan untuk menciptakan perdamaian, ketentraman, dan ketertiban dalam masyarakat serta memberikan kepastian hukum. Tujuan hukum dapat dirasakan secara komprehensif dalam masyarakat, jika hukum itu dapat berfungsi dalam masyarakat. Dengan demikian hukum dan masyarakat mempunyai korelasi yang sangat signifikan. Masyarakat tanpa hukum, maka akan terjadi kacau balau serta terjadi tindakan yang sewenang-wenang, begitu pula sebaliknya hukum tanpa ada masyarakat, maka hukum itu tidak berarti sama sekali. Bukan negara yang membatasi, tapi COVID-19 yang sulit dilihat dengan mata melukiskan derita kita yang diterjang tiga krisis: medis (epidemi itu sendiri), ekonomi (yang terpukul keras apapun dampak epidemi) dan psikologis.

Densus 88 AT is a special police unit that has the duty and authority to enforce the law on criminal acts of terrorism. As law enforcers, Densus 88 AT has the authority to carry out the arrest of suspected terrorists based on Law No. 5/2018. Based on the theory of law enforcement by Joseph Goldstein, law enforcement is divided into three areas, namely: total enforcement, full enforcement, and actual enforcement. This paper is a law-normative research which aims to identify and understand the arrest of suspected terrorists by Densus 88 AT from the perspective of law enforcement by Joseph Goldstein. The conclusions are as follows: the status of a suspect is unknown in the Indonesian Criminal Code; Densus 88 AT has the authority to arrest suspected terrorists based on RI Law Number 5 of 2018; and in the three areas of law enforcement, Densus 88 AT has discretionary power in three areas of discretion, namely: choosing objectives, intervention methods, and field procedures.

Published: November 2021

The aim of comparing the TUN judicial system in France with the Indonesian state is to provide an analysis of the competence of state administration justice in France (its administrative court), particularly regarding the administrative or technical implementation of the judiciary. This can provide direction for the ius constituendum in the competence of the Indonesian State Administrative Court, as well as explain contempt of court actions in the implementation of TUN Judicial decisions between Indonesia and France. The research was conducted using a normative juridical approach and has a literary nature. The Indonesian state administration court system still expects an ius constituendum regarding contempt of court regulation. The French state is known as a country that has judicial authority in the world so that the French state does not recognize contempt of court in the application of the TUN court decision.
The Influence of Family Leadership on Girl- Child School Dropout
Authors: Kamau Mary Wambui , Nyakwara Simon
Published: November 2021

Family leadership is one of the vital aspects that influences and determines both the wellbeing and successful education of a girl-child. Unfortunately, the role of family leadership in ensuring girls' education is oversimplified into getting girls enrolled in school rather than warranting their perseverance in learning and successful completion. As a result, many communities in Tanzania, especially those in rural and marginalized areas are experiencing persistent girl–child school dropouts. It is against this standpoint that we sought to find out how family leadership may influence secondary school girls’ dropouts. We also explored possible measures which should be employed to eliminate girl-child school dropouts. In conducting this study, we employed a mixed research approach and convergent parallel design. We collected data through interviews and questionnaires involving 143 respondents including girl students, teachers, heads of schools, and district educational officers. Our findings from this study indicate that while the government of Tanzania has made remarkable efforts to ensure girls’ continuity and successful completion of secondary education, there are a number of factors hindering girls’ continuity and completion of secondary education. Weak family leadership, the improper raising of the children, less emphasis and interest on the importance of girls’ education, limited cooperation between family leadership were among the reason for continuous girl-child school dropout. Hence, based on our findings and the significance of girl’s education as well as the role which parents should play in ensuring girls achievement of education, we appeal to various educational leaders, to make strategic efforts in raising more awareness among rural and marginalized communities about the importance of educating girls and the role of family leadership in bringing to an end the phenomena of girl-child school dropout which is catastrophic to the long-awaited sustainable development. Moreover, we call upon all parents, to make intentional efforts in mentoring and influencing girls to strive towards achieving formal education

Published: November 2021

Lack of adequate water leading to drought stress is a common constraint in upland cultivation system ofrice. a rice mutant line (MT58) was developed in previous research after mutagenesis of cv. Neda by ethylmethane sulfonate (EMS) and selected for dwarfism (18 cm shorter than Neda). The extent of its molecularchanges relative to parental cultivar was assessed by SSR and ISSR markers, and the response of the linealong with parental cultivar and another mutant line (MTA) to mild and severe water deficit, was evaluated ina field experiment. a molecular assessment by using 41 SSR markers showed that stunt line MT58 had significantmolecular difference with two other lines as confirmed by cluster analysis. ISSR assay also proved theconsiderable mutational effect of EMS on two mutant lines compared to original wild line. Field experimentsrevealed that limited irrigation caused mild to severe decrease in all the studied traits including chlorophyllcontents. In both mild and sever water stress (S1 and S2) dwarf mutant MT58 had not significant differencesin plant yield from parental cultivar Neda. In mild water stress cultivar Neda and mutant line MT58, respectively,showed highest (14%) and lowest (3%) yield loss, while in sever water stress mutant lines MTA andMT58, respectively, showed highest (33%) and lowest (19%) yield loss. In severe stress, cultivar Neda hadhighest plant height, tiller number and plant yield, and mutant MT58 had highest panicle length, total kernelsper panicle, fertile kernels and chlorophyll contents. Reduction in chlorophyll content at drought stress conditionwas correlated with yield loss (0.64 and 0.697 for chl.a and chl.b, respectively). The results of this researchobviously confirm that mutant line MT58 despite of its stunt figure did not show yield difference fromits parental cultivar in drought stress.

Published: November 2021

Low temperature stress is one of the limiting factors of seed germination. In order to investigate the effect of lowtemperatures on germination of barley cultivars, identification of traits related to low temperature stress at germinationstage and the effect of calcium chloride on these traits, 44 Iranian and European barley cultivars were evaluatedin a factorial experiment within completely randomized design with 3 replications in the Laboratory of Plant Physiology,Agronomy and Plant Breeding department, Razi University. The first factor was 44 Iranian and European barleycultivars, the second factor included four temperature (0, 5, 10 and 20°C), and the third factor was the use of calciumchloride (10 mM) and its non-use (distilled water). Analysis of variance showed that there was a significant differencebetween cultivars for all traits except root length and seed vigor. Applying calcium chloride treatment ata concentration of 10 mM did not significantly affect the traits under the studied temperatures. Reducing temperaturefrom 20°C to 10°C and 5°C reduced root length, shoot length, coleoptile length, root number, coefficient of velocityof germination, seed vigor and promptness index. The results of correlation analysis showed that there wasa significant positive correlation between promptness index with average velocity of germination, coefficient ofvelocity of germination and seed vigor, germination percentage and root number in all studied temperatures. Therewas little differentiation between Iranian and European cultivars by both cluster and discriminant analysis.
COLORIMETRIC VS. CHROMATOGRAPHIC ANALYSES OF ALKALOIDS IN LUPIN SEEDS
Authors: Wilczura Paulina , Święcicki Wojciech , Kamel Katarzyna , Wasiak Wiesław
Published: November 2021

A characteristic trait of lupins is a production of alkaloids, which are a toxic and bitter taste compound ofseeds. Due to the lack of fast, sensitive and inexpensive screening techniques to identify and reject high alkaloidplant material, development of suitable tools is important challenges for lupins breeding and seed production.The aim of this study was to compare two alkaloid content estimation methods in Lupinus angustifoliusL. and Lupinus albus L.During the Wagner’s colorimetric test, which is recommended by the UPOV, seed halves were stained onfour colors depending on the alkaloid content but only the level of 0.5% – 0.6% showed clear color change.Gas chromatography allowed accurate quantification and qualification of alkaloid content.Since safe alkaloid content for consumption is 0.02% of seed dry weight, colorimetric method is less usefulfor dividing lupin cultivars into sweet and bitter, than gas chromatography but can be used as a screeningtechnique.

The Affect Balance Scale (ABS) was developed to assess the affective component of subjective well-being. This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of ABS in a non-probabilistic sample composed of 2241 individuals in the general population in Argentina, ages ranging from 18 to 89 years (M = 37.53; SD = 14.80). The results suggest acceptable psychometric properties within the sample. Excellent adjustment to the data of the two-dimensional model is observed through confirmatory factor analysis. Results of the factorial invariance analysis of gender conducted indicate that both groups are equivalent in terms of the factor structure under investigation. Internal consistency was also found to be adequate. As a result, the study contributed to assessing positive and negative affect in Spanish speaking populations.
POSITIVE COGNITIVE TRIAD AND COVID-19 FEARS: AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION
Authors: Jafri Md Hassan
Published: November 2021

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) disease has produced both physical and mental health crisis at an unprecedented level forcing the global community to take actions to deal with the pandemic. Various mental health issues have cropped up in people since the spread of the highly contagious disease. The present empirical study examined the role of the positive cognitive triad in coping with mental health problems, especially the fears of the pandemic. Using а cross-sectional research design, data were collected from the 240 participants in a northern state in India at the time when the positive cases were increasing. Regression analysis showed significant variation explained by positive cognitive triad on the outcome variable, i.e. positive cognitive triad reduces the perception of fears of the COVID-19 disease. The study revealed that the positive cognitive triad might be used as one of the coping strategies with the fears and anxiety of the disease. Regression analysis further revealed that two dimensions of the positive cognitive triad i.e. positive cognition of the self and positive cognition of the future, had a significantly negative influence on the fears of the disease. Thus, people who have positive cognition of the self and the future are less likely to experience fear of the novel COVID-19 diseases.
TECHNOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY: THE APPLICATION OF VR TECHNOLOGY
Authors: Angelova Natasha Virmozelova
Published: November 2021

The development of technologies and their use in various fields of life and for different purposes have recently increased because of mandatory restrictive measures implemented by worldwide governments (to limit the spread of Covid-19). In this editorial are presented some notions about artificial reality and virtually created environments. It is discussed the opportunity to experience authentic emotions through virtual scenarios where people immerse themselves for teaching, training skills, or even when the real environment cannot be reproduced and only a simulated environment can help to enrich the experience and overcome some fears. It is shown that personal experience in a simulated reality, not only as an observer but also as a protagonist, stimulates and helps to acquire specific practical skills, and develop behavioral models leading to better learning and psychotherapeutic outcomes.

Técnicas para memorização - sobre as células de engramas
Authors: de Abreu Rodrigues Prof. Dr. Fabiano
Published: November 2021

Uma reclamação recorrente nos dias atuais está relacionada à cultura que vivenciamos: a dificuldade na memorização. A perda de memória ou da capacidade de memorizar, têm relação direta com a ansiedade e todas as suas consequências. A ansiedade é crucial para nossa sobrevivência, mas, quando fora da homeostase, o organismo requer a atuação de neurotransmissores e hormônios que, quando desproporcional pela não possibilidade de trazer um melhor equilíbrio, acarreta em mais ansiedade causadora de disfunções que interferem na vida do ser humano, assim como na necessidade crucial para o bem-estar que é da memorização. O objetivo deste artigo, mediante ao conhecimento em inteligência que está relacionada à memória, é suscitar técnicas e estratégias para uma melhor memorização.

Charme de la vulnérabilité
Authors: Fabre Nicole
Published: November 2021

Après m’être expliquée sur le caractère ambigu de mon titre, je me suis attachée à en analyser le sens à travers des exemples cliniques (séances en psychothérapie et récits publiés). Dans une première série d’observations, le charme qui agit est celui de deux fragilités qui se rencontrent. Il s’agit d’une sorte de fascination qui s’inscrit dans une identification projective de celui qu’on pourrait assimiler au prédateur. Fantasmes archaïques, fusion, confusion, pulsion de vie et angoisse de mort, toute puissance et impuissance. La question se pose du devenir éventuel de ces personnalités qui risquent ou non de devenir des prédateurs accidentels ou des prédateurs/prédateurs. A la lumière du conte du Petit Chaperon Rouge et du Loup Prédateur j’ai étudié trois témoignages publiés de fillettes ou jeunes filles soumises à l’emprise d’un prédateur/prédateur (abus sexuels et spirituels). Je fais l’hypothèse qu’il s’agit de la rencontre de deux faux-self, ce qui, une fois encore, s’inscrit au temps de l’archaïque, l’effet de charme étant celui-là même de l’emprise.
Effraction du psychisme chez les enfants victimes de violence sexuelle
Authors: Smida Samia
Published: November 2021

Un grand nombre d’enfants sont victimes de violences graves et criminelles qui ont un impact psychotraumatique sur la mémoire des enfants et dont les conséquences sont directement liées à l’installation de troubles psychotraumatiques sévères. Ces troubles impactent la santé physique et psychique de ces enfants à court, moyen et long terme, en entraînant souvent des risques de suicide, de dépressions à répétition, d’anxiété, de phobies scolaires, d’angoisse de séparation, d’hyperactivité, d’irritabilité, de difficultés d’apprentissage, de conduites addictives, de troubles alimentaires, cognitifs et physiologiques. Quand on parle de traumatisme, on évoque généralement un événementiel, et plus particulièrement sa trace, c’est-à-dire son impact sur le fonctionnement psychique et sur sa mémoire. Une réflexion sur la notion de mémoire du traumatisme en lien avec celle de la résilience est proposée. A la lumière d’une vignette clinique la place du « temps de mémoire » est également mise en avant dans la dynamique du souvenir et de l’oubli ainsi que le destin des traumas infantiles qui ne peuvent être repris dans un processus d’après-coup.

A propos des violences sexuelles, les médias s’intéressent souvent à la biographie des prédateurs, rarement à celle de leurs victimes. Parmi elles, se trouvent pourtant des femmes qui subissent de telles violences durant de longue période. Pourquoi et qu’est-ce que la psychanalyse peut en dire ? C’est ce que nous tâcherons de voir avec des cas cliniques, ainsi qu’à la lumière de Freud, Bourdieu, Racamier et Lacan.
Nouveaux « regards » psychocriminologiques sur le passage à l’acte et la perversion. À propos d’un cas « extrême »
Authors: Chagnon Jean-Yves
Published: November 2021

A travers l’étude d’un meurtre ayant défrayé la chronique il y a quelques années par sa mise en acte / scène macabre (victimes homosexuelles enterrées vivantes, bâillonnées, en face à face), l’auteur soutient la perspective psychocriminologique psychanalytique « française ». Le passage à l’acte criminel a du sens au triple sens de signification, direction, sensorialité. Ces perspectives complexifient l’utilisation « aveuglante » du concept de perversion / perversité pour rendre compte de ce type de criminalité.
Second-order stabilized semi-implicit energy stable schemes for bubble assemblies in binary and ternary systems
Authors: Choi Hyunjung , Zhao Yanxiang
Published: November 2021

In this paper, we propose some second-order stabilized semi-implicit methods for solving the Allen-Cahn-Ohta-Kawasaki and the Allen-Cahn-Ohta-Nakazawa equations. In the numerical methods, some nonlocal linear stabilizing terms are introduced and treated implicitly with other linear terms, while other nonlinear and nonlocal terms are treated explicitly. We consider two different forms of such stabilizers and compare the difference regarding the energy stability. The spatial discretization is performed by the Fourier collocation method with FFT-based fast implementations. Numerically, we verify the second order temporal convergence rate of the proposed schemes. In both binary and ternary systems, the coarsening dynamics is visualized as bubble assemblies in hexagonal or square patterns.

This paper presents a model for finding optimal pandemic control policy considering cross-region human mobility. We extend the baseline susceptible-infectious-recovered (SIR) epidemiology model by including the net human mobility from a severely-impacted region to a mildly-affected region. The strategic optimal mitigation policy combining testing and lockdown in each region is then obtained with the goal of minimizing economic cost under the constraint of limited resources. We parametrize the model using the data of the COVID-19 pandemic and show that the optimal response strategy and mitigation outcome greatly rely on the mitigation duration, available resources, and cross-region human mobility. Furthermore, we discuss the economic impact of travel restriction policies through a quantitative analysis.
On the numerical discretization of a tumor progression model driven by competing migration mechanisms
Authors: Qiao Yangyang ,   Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Stavanger, Stavanger, NO 4068, Norway, Li Qing , Evje Steinar
Published: November 2021

In this work we explore a recently proposed biphasic cell-fluid chemotaxis-Stokes model which is able to represent two competing cancer cell migration mechanisms reported from experimental studies. Both mechanisms depend on the fluid flow but in a completely different way. One mechanism depends on chemical signaling and leads to migration in the downstream direction. The other depends on mechnical signaling and triggers cancer cells to go upstream. The primary objective of this paper is to explore an alternative numerical discretization of this model by borrowing ideas from [Qiao et al. (2020), M3AS 30]. Numerical investigations give insight into which parameters that are critical for the ability to generate aggressive cancer cell behavior in terms of detachment of cancer cells from the primary tumor and creation of isolated groups of cancer cells close to the lymphatic vessels. The secondary objective is to propose a reduced model by exploiting the fact that the fluid velocity field is largely dictated by the draining fluid from the leaky tumor vasculature and collecting peritumoral lymphatics and is more weakly coupled to the cell phase. This suggests that the fluid flow equations to a certain extent might be decoupled from the cell phase equations. The resulting model, which represents a counterpart of the much studied chemotaxis-Stokes model model proposed by [Tuval, et al. (2005), PNAS 102], is explored by numerical experiments in a one-dimensional tumor setting. We find that the model largely coincides with the original as assessed through numerical solutions computed by discrete schemes. This model might be more amenable for further explorations and analysis. We also investigate how to exploit the weaker coupling between cell phase dynamics and fluid dynamics to do more efficient calculations with fewer updates of the fluid pressure and velocity field.
Men in Women’s Clothes: Some Curious Cases of Protection from Arabic Literary Sources
Authors: Gelder Geert Jan van
Published: November 2021

Disguise is a form of protection. Women’s clothes, which normally hide more of the body than men’s clothes, sometimes provide a suitable disguise. The article presents and discusses some cases, taken from classical Arabic sources, of men receiving the protection and assistance of women who enable them to escape in women’s clothes or to hide under them (as did the pre‑Islamic brigand‑poet al‑Sulayk who hid under a helpful woman’s skirt). The stories and anecdotes, some perhaps wholly or partly fictional, are taken from a variety of literary and historical sources and date from the pre-Islamic period and the early Islamic centuries.
Acts of Protection Represented in Bactrian Documents
Authors: Huseini Said Reza
Published: November 2021

This paper addresses the concept and mechanism of protection represented in Bactrian documents. Based on the analysis of these documents, it discusses two main procedures for obtaining protection practiced in late antique Bactria. The first was the presentation of petitions by an individual or a group of people to the local authorities with the aim of asking for protection for their lives, properties and honour. In this mechanism oral petitions, letters, and intermediaries played the main role. The second procedure for obtaining protection was to ask for “a contract of undertaking” which was issued by the court of law and witnessed and sealed by court officials. The contract of undertaking had specific legal clauses which guaranteed protection for the petitioners and their dependants. In both cases the petitions were issued by the authorities through a set of standard administrative procedures. The systems suggested in these documents show that a sophisticated system for redressing wrongs and providing protection was provided by governmental administrations that reached even the smallest villages in Bactria.
.”No One Can Give You Protection“ The Reversal of Protection in a Persian Decree Dated 562/1167
Authors: Azad Arezou , Firoozbakhsh Pejman
Published: November 2021

While we know from historical texts that authorities in pre‑Mongol Iran and Central Asia issued letters of protection (amān‑nāma), no original has survived. In this article, we introduce one newly purchased document at the National Library of Israel catalogued as Ms.Heb.8333.86 and dated 562/1167, which refers to an act of protection (ḥimāyat)—or rather, its reversal. This is the closest we get to an actual documentary reference in Persian to an act of protection in the pre-Mongol period, and the document, therefore, merits closer study. The document offers an alternative history of protection far from the centres of power, at a very local level in the Ghūrid domains of today’s Central Afghanistan and northern India, and the survival of the document offers clues as to the longevity of acts of protection and their archival value. The study, by extension, highlights the dynamism of reciprocal loyalties between citizens and administrative officials in local communities.

Assessing Consumer Awareness and Opinion Toward Food Safety Practices and Policies in the Maldives
Authors: Khairatun Siti Nurhayati , Nuzla Fathmath
Published: November 2021

The Maldives relies completely on imported food for its staples such as rice, flour, and sugar. It is reported that the Maldives produces less than one-tenth of its overall food requirements. Due to its huge dependence on imported food products, Maldives is exposed to a high risk of contaminated food and foodborne illnesses caused within the supply chain. This chapter aimed to investigate the level of awareness among the public of the Maldives relating to food safety practices in the food industry. An online survey was developed and administered to the consumers in the Maldives. A total number of 369 usable responses were analyzed statistically. The findings highlight that even though there was a high level of awareness of the participants towards food safety in general, participants were poorly aware of the activities and the consumers' roles in the food safety practices. This study serves as a baseline study for future research in this area, particularly in the Maldives.
E-Platform-Enabled Transnational E-Entrepreneurship
Authors: Duan Carson
Published: November 2021

This paper examines transnational e-entrepreneurs enabled by e-platforms through the lens of entrepreneurship process theories. The authors argue that transnational e-entrepreneurs engaging in necessity-driven e-entrepreneurship have been neglected in current related literature. This paper first proposes that transnational e-entrepreneurship research should be conducted in a framework of cross-country e-entrepreneurial ecosystem that combines host- and home-country entrepreneurial ecosystems and digital ecosystems. Then the framework was tested by case studies and proved to be valid. The paper found that e-platforms enabled necessity-driven transnational entrepreneurs to operate in the same manner with opportunity-drive entrepreneurship. The authors also conclude future research themes for transnational e-entrepreneurship study should separate necessity-driven and opportunity-driven entrepreneurs. It suggests the policymaker needs to emphasize necessity-driven e-entrepreneurs.
Does Gender Really Matter in Crowdfunding Campaigns?
Authors: Bernardino Susana , Santos J. Freitas , Silva Rita
Published: November 2021

The research aims to understand whether gender can or not influence the success of crowdfunding (CF) campaigns. To attain this objective, entrepreneurs that launch a CF campaign in the PPL platform are surveyed in order to examine if gender influences the characteristics of the projects, the motivations and satisfaction with the campaigns, and the use of social media. The paper uses a quantitative approach, based on an online survey sent to the entrepreneurs who have used the Portuguese CF platform (PPL) for funding. The results indicate that there are no major significant gender differences in the use of CF through the Portuguese platform, the motivations for using CF or the success achieved. In both cases, social media play an essential role in CF campaigns. Only culture-related projects exhibit an association with gender. The results show that CF is a tool that can contribute to reducing the gender gap in entrepreneurship. The design of CF operations and capacity building programs for women could either be improved in accordance with the new insights of the study.
Chemical Composition of Alloys as Primary Material Property Influencing the Accuracy of Measurements Obtained in Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Wavelength-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (WDX) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)

The properties of the material affect the quality of the manufactured product. Before transferring the finished product to the production phase and sending it to the customer, material tests should be carried out. Examined material properties such as chemical composition, phase composition, grain boundaries influence results obtained after measurements of the chemical composition. The spectrometers used in SEM or as separate XRFs can be compared due to the principle of operation. The main difference in EDS/WDX or XRF is the types of a beam that excite the characteristic X-rays radiation peaks. Unfortunately, both types of spectroscopy have limitations due to materials properties such as the application light chemical elements in alloys an example of B. As well as small quantities of chemical elements in used alloys that affect the obtained results.

Till (n=196) and stream sediment (n=60) samples were collected in the area south and west of Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories (NTS 85B, C, F, and G), over the course of 3 summer field seasons. Samples were processed to recover kimberlite and other
indicator minerals. This report summarizes results of the kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) studies, including measures of KIM mineral types, abundances, and chemistry (major, trace, and rare earth elements). KIMs were present in 24% of the samples collected, and only 183 KIM grains in total
were recovered, of which Cr-pyrope garnets were the most abundant (65.6%). Chemical analyses revealed strong similarities to the Drybones Bay and Mud Lake kimberlites which are situated 50 to >100 km to the northeast, roughly aligned with prominent glacially streamlined landform
flowsets in this field area. Results suggest there is little evidence for undetected kimberlite outcrop or sub-crop in the study area.

Published: November 2021

The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients before and after transurethral resection (TUR) in China. Clinical data from 165 male patients with NMIBC who received adjuvant intravesical chemotherapy after TUR in Neijiang First People's Hospital (Neijiang, China) between January 2010 and June 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. The sexual function of these patients was evaluated before and 1.5 years after initial TUR by the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5). An age-specific subanalysis was performed among the patients: <45 years old (Group 1, n = 19) and ≥45 years old (Group 2, n = 146). Before and 1.5 years after TUR, the incidence rates of ED in Group 1 were 15.8% and 52.6%, and those in Group 2 were 54.1% and 61.0%, respectively. The difference between groups was statistically significant at the preoperative stage (15.8% vs 54.1%, P = 0.002) but not at the postoperative stage (52.6% vs 61.0%, P = 0.562). Compared with the preoperative stage, the incidence of ED at the postoperative stage was increased significantly in Group 1 (15.8% vs 52.6%, P = 0.017) but not in Group 2 (54.1% vs 61.0%, P = 0.345). In conclusion, the incidence of ED increased in male NMIBC patients under the age of 45 years after TUR in China. These patients should be offered professional counseling during the follow-up period.

Cilium, an organelle with a unique proteome and organization, protruding from the cell surface, generally serves as a force generator and signaling compartment. During ciliogenesis, ciliary proteins are synthesized in cytoplasm and transported into cilia by intraflagellar transport (IFT) particles, where the inner counterparts undergo reverse trafficking. The homeostasis of IFT plays a key role in cilial structure assembly and signaling transduction. Much progress has been made on the mechanisms and functions of IFT; however, recent studies have revealed the involvement of IFT particle subunits in organogenesis and spermatogenesis. In this review, we discuss new concepts concerning the molecular functions of IFT protein IFT25 and how its interactions with other IFT particle subunits are involved in mammalian development and fertility.

Objective:

This study to evaluate clinicopathological parameters such as age, tumor location, tumor size, grade, depth of invasion (DOI), lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), lymph node metastasis, and stage that predict peri-neural invasion (PNI) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Material and Methods:

A retrospective study on 1716 postoperative OSCC patients who satisfied the eligibility criteria and treated from January 2009 to December 2019 was analyzed using IBM SPSS V23. Mean and percentage were assessed using descriptive statistics. Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney U-test was used to compare continuous variables, while Chi-square test was used to compare discrete variables between PNI-positive and PNI-negative groups. Two-tailed P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.

Results:

Out of 1716 patients, 553 were PNI positive. The mean age was 48.76 ± 12.42 years in PNI-positive patients while 51.52 ± 12.51 years in PNI-negative patients. Males outnumbered females. The most common primary was carcinoma buccal mucosa (204, 36.9%), followed by carcinoma of oral tongue (161,29.1%). Maximum tumor size was 3.14 ± 1.20 cm in PNI-positive patients whereas 2.78 ± 1.22 cm in PNI-negative patients. Sixty (10.84%) patients in PNI-positive group and 51 (4.38%) in PNI-negative group had LVSI positive. Lymph node involvement was observed in 305 (55.13%) patients in PNI-positive group whereas 358 (30.78%) patients in PNI-negative group. Maximum number 228 (41.3%) in PNI-positive patients were in Stage IVA disease.

Conclusion:

PNI is one of the important adverse prognostic factors having a definite correlation with anatomical subsite, tumor size, grade, DOI, LVSI, lymph node involvement, and stage of the disease. PNI should be analyzed in postoperative histopathology report of OSCC that guides the clinician for adjuvant therapy.
