Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19. Outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2)) started in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province, Republic of China, and has spread worldwide. Pandemic 11 March 2020 is closely related to the pangolin and the bat virus and is also believed to be of zoonotic origin.Symptoms include cough, muscle aches, sputum production, headache, hemoptysis, diarrhea, shortness of breath, and in some cases, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sudden heart damage, or secondary infection can happen to affected people. This study provides evidence that inflammation reflected by cytokine storms in COVID-19 patients could have contributed to disease exacerbations, so we analyzed the gene expression predictive values of (IL-6 and INF α). A cytokine storm can occur due to an infection, autoimmune condition, or other diseases. It may also occur after treatment with some types of immunotherapy. Symptoms include high fever, inflammation (redness and swelling), severe fatigue, and nausea. Sometimes, a cytokine storm may be severe or life-threatening and lead to multiple organ failures. Also called hyper cytokines. Recent studies on COVID-19 infected patients have shown that these individuals exhibit high levels of both pro-inflammatory cytokines, which include IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-2, and chemokine's

Democrazia, sviluppo, stato di diritto ed organizzazioni criminali in America Latina
Authors: Mazzitelli Antonio
Published: June 2022

La nascita e lo sviluppo delle organizzazioni criminali moderne sono spesso riflesso delle dinamiche economiche, politiche e sociali dei territori nei quali queste operano. La storia recente dell’America Latina e delle industrie criminali in Messico e Colombia ne sono un chiaro esempio. Soltanto un’amministrazione giudiziaria trasparente e democratica potrà consolidare i progressi compiuti nella costruzione di moderni stati di diritto democratici.

Hybrid composite laminates (HCL) were prepared by lay-up molding using a hot-press bed for reinforcing epoxy-based woven flax and basalt fabric composites. Mechanical properties and moisture absorption of HCL were measured, and the fracture surface was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The present results indicated that the mechanical properties of HCL are strongly dependent on the sequence of fiber reinforcement. HCL (S2, S3, S4, S5) with symmetric stacking sequences that increase with basalt fibers (wt %) showed a positive hybridization effect on mechanical properties and curve characteristics. However, the mechanical properties of S7 (asymmetric stacking) were lower than S3, S4, S5 (symmetric stacking), which indicated that symmetric stacking sequences of HCL had superior mechanical performance compared with the cross arrangement of HCL. The moisture absorption of HCL samples immersed in water at 26 °C showed the Fickian behaviour up to 42 days and were not affected by altering the stacking sequence on HCL. The SEM of the fracture surface, fiber-matrix bonding, and interfacial bonding of flax-basalt fabric HCL were also presented.

Published: June 2022

This paper investigates the response of high strength concrete (HSC) beams subjected to reversed cyclic loading using carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP), and hybrid FRP/steel bars as bottom tensile reinforcement. Five HSC beams with a rectangular cross-section were prepared and poured using with a 28-day concrete compressive strength of 60 MPa (8.7 ksi). A displacement-controlled reversed cyclic loading has been applied to all the beams. The test setup has been designed to represent seismic effect on structures. Flexural capacity, concrete and reinforcement steel strains, cracking behavior, and ductility results were obtained. The hybrid steel/FRP has shown an improved performance in terms of flexural capacity, strains, and ductility. While the inclusion of FRP grids reduces the flexural capacity, this can be improved by adding more layers of FRP. Overall, the nominal moment of the hybrid sections were the highest between all beams. The ACI 318 code’s empirical equations showed close results in terms of the tensile strength of the FRP. The ACI 440R has shown overestimated nominal moment values compared to the experimental results.

Whole and halved strawberries were dried by using three methods, which were solar tunnel drying, shade drying, and microwave drying (180W, 540W, and 900W) to determine drying characteristic and modelling. The researchers measured solar irradiation at ambient and drying air temperatures and air velocity at specific intervals in various parts of the dryer. How microwave drying (180, 540, and 900 W) affected the drying time and drying ratio of the whole and halved strawberry samples was investigated. In addition, the data on the drying process were applied to 5 different mathematical models, which were Weibull distribution, Midilli et al., Jena and Das and Aghbashlo et al. Equation Models. The researchers compared the performance levels of the models according to correlation coefficient (R2), chi-square value (χ2), besides the root mean square error (RMSE) between moisture ratios that were observed and predicted. Furthermore, the Weibull Distribution and Midilli et al. models were found to reveal the ratio of drying in a satisfactory way for all the methods of drying.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of pre-slaughter time about some blood constituents used as stress indicators in the evaluation of animal welfare in cattle. In the practice of ethology, animal welfare is assessed through physiological and behavioral indicators. For the determination of serum biomarkers of animal stress, a total of 180 animals was used, divided into two major groups according to the time of pre-slaughter. In the acceptable group, the animals had a pre-slaughter time up to 24 hours and in the not acceptable group the pre-slaughter time was greater than 24 h. These two groups were split up into three animal categories (males, females and castrated males). In this study, 30 samples were collected from each animal category of the two groups, acceptable and not acceptable, totaling 180 samples. Samples were separated for analysis of muscle enzymes creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase (CK and LDH), glucose and cortisol. Physiological values, regardless of the animal category and pre-slaughter time, were higher than the normal values of reference, expressing the prior management effect on animal welfare. The data clearly show a need to update and adapt the entire production chain to animal welfare practices, with the objective of producing competitive quality meat in the world market.

Published: June 2022

Dementia is a serious form of cognitive impairment that is currently untreatable and can decline rapidly over time. Beginning with mild cognitive impairment, such as memory loss, poor judgment, difficulty in task performance, misplacement of things, disorientation, language problems and loss of initiative, the severity of cognitive loss becomes gradually more apparent. In fact, dementia impacts five key cognitive functions: attention, executive function, memory, language, and processing speed. In this case study of a female Singaporean octogenarian was suspected to suffer from dementia. The authors administered three projective drawing tests – i.e., the Human-Figure Drawing Test for Cognitive Impairment (HFD-CI), the Human-Figure Drawing Test for Dementia Screening (HFDT-DS), and the Clock Drawing Test (CDT) – and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) in their dementia identification procedure to make an immediate referral to a geriatric psychiatrist for the client’s mental health follow-up.
Style in the Print Media: Perspectives from the Editorials of a Ghanaian Newspaper
Authors:   Department of English Education, Adjei Amma Abrafi ,   University of Education, Winneba -Ghana
Published: June 2022

The study employs linguistic stylistic analysis, specifically, Leech and Shorts’ (2007) stylistic categories to identify the stylistic features used predominantly in selected newspaper editorials. The corpus used is made up of thirty editorials which are randomly selected. It employs the qualitative research design to analyse selected texts. The analysis reveals that the editorial of the Daily Graphicabounds in the use of stylistic features through the use of lexical items. Among others, the study discusses that the editorial makes use of major lexical items such as nouns, adjectives, adverbs and verbs, with nouns dominating the lexical choices and adjectives, the least. It adds that the use of different linguistic and stylistic features in the packaging ofinformation is motivated and purposeful, because the features help in the interpretation and meaning of the editorial. The analysis of lexical items has helped to provide an interpretation to the editorials in addition to showing the communicative relationship between author and reader. Pedagogically, the study is significant in the sense that it provides an avenue for students and teachers of language to observe how the appropriate selection of lexical items helps in text construction and meaning creation. The study recommends that stylistic features are helpful in the packaging and interpretation of texts (editorials included), therefore, language users: writers, teachers, students and other users of language, especially in ESL and EFL contexts, should beguided in authentic use of linguistic items in the packaging of information in the language classroom and in other contexts.This study makes a modest contribution to understanding the relationship between collective action and collective identity in CBNRM and similar institutions.

Published: June 2022

ABSTRACTOngoing studies in the Namaqua Sector, situated in the Namaqua-Natal Metamorphic Province (NNMP), have been vital in understanding the geological activities that occurred during the Rodinia supercontinent assembly. These geological activities are usually key to discovering new mineral raw materials. The Tschaukaib Granitic Suite, which is believed to be part of the Gordonia Thrust Stack (GTS) of the Kakamas Domain, crops out within Tschaukaib Mountains and was characterized in this study on the basis of surface mapping, petrographic and major element geochemistry. Three types of granites were identified, namely: granodiorite, quartz monzonite and granite with SiO2 content ranging from 64.9 wt % to 69.8 wt %. Whole rock geochemistry further shows that they are calc-alkaline, alkali-calcic, ferroan, peraluminous (Al2O3 > K2O + Na2O + CaO) and have >1 % Cross, Iddings, Pirsson and Washington (CIPW) corundum. The geochemical characteristics indicates that the granitoids were emplaced during the continental collision and are formed from partial melting of recycled crustal material which took place during the Rodinia supercontinent. The geochemistry shows a conspicuous fractional crystallization signature. Geological mapping and structural analysis of the Tschaukaib Granitic Suite area shows a NW-SE and E-W trending regional foliation in the Tschaukaib Augen Gneiss (quartz monzonite) which corresponds to the main D2 Namaqua metamorphic event. Several shear zones were mapped and are consistent to the Pofadder Shear Zone which runs in the NW-SE and E-W directions, parallel to the study area. Petrographic analysis of the granitoids has identified mineral assemblages which shows that the granitoids have undergone high strain and alterations, however, it is not clear which Namaqua deformation episode brought about these features.
An exploratory foreign language curriculum: The creative application of RICH in senior high school English instruction
Authors: Fu Yu
Published: June 2022

With the rapid development of globalization, foreign language learners are supposed to have the ability to use the language in intercultural communication accurately and appropriately. However, guided by the traditional teacher-centered language teaching and learning model, learners cannot meet the requirements of social development because the knowledge that students acquire is rather limited, let alone learning and applying abilities. Meanwhile, their interest in learning a foreign language cannot be fully stimulated. RICH, a creative curriculum concept, combines Research-based Learning, Integrated Curriculum, Cooperative Learning, and Humanistic Outcomes. The new curriculum concept aims to lead students to enter the language classroom as thinkers and researchers, developing their humanistic qualities and their abilities to use the English language in practice through interdisciplinary studies so as to promote their intercultural communicative ability eventually. To test the applicability of RICH in senior high English school instruction, qualitative and quantitative research methods were employed, including one academic year’s teaching experiment lasting from 2020 through 2021, video recordings of instructing cases, and semi-open interviews with some subjects. Research data has demonstrated that RICH can be of great help in creatively designing and implementing key competence cultivation-oriented English instructions in the context of the New Curriculum Standards for senior high school English instruction.
Specific features of the immune status of patients with bronchial asthma and COVID-19.
Authors: Баубекова Айгерим , Розенсон Рафаил
Published: June 2022

Aim: to study the specific features of changes in the immune status of patients with bronchial asthma and COVID-19

Materials and methods: Study date: 08.2021-04.22. Study design: a review. A literature review was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library databases, as well as a manual search for suitable articles. We analyzed immunological differences that may influence the pathophysiological process in patients with COVID-19 and asthma, including immunoglobulins, interferons, and local immune cells.

Results: Through a study of 39 studies, including retrospective analyses, it was found that it is still unknown whether the asthma phenotype contributes to some protection of patients from COVID-19. Several immune differences have been found between COVID-19 patients with and without comorbid asthma: decreased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-12), impaired production of type I and III interferons ( IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-λ), which is a priority produced to fight the COVID-19 virus.

Conclusions: Several of the research that have been reported so far are retrospective and do not differentiate between asthma phenotypes. Extensive therapeutic and immunological markers are severely lacking. To obtain a better knowledge of the immunological and metabolic link between COVID-19 and asthma, comprehensive endotyping of individuals with COVID-19 and asthma would be necessary. Furthermore, further information on the transcriptional and translational level of receptors modulation is needed at the level of virus-host contacts in relation to the virus's cellular entrance process. Furthermore, longterm prospective investigations are lacking. Additional knowledge on COVID-19 in asthmatic and allergy individuals is fast becoming available. Recent asthma treatment guidelines in the framework of COVID-19 should not be modified, according to current thinking. If indicated, patients will receive pharmacological therapy based on guidelines, including ICSs and biological treatments.

Günümüzde kişi tanıma için kullanılan birçok biyometrik özellik vardır. Göz, iris, kulak, parmak izi, DNA gibi fiziksel biyometrik özelliklerden farklı olarak davranışsal biyometrik özelliklerimiz zamanla öğrenilir ve gelişirler. Yürüyüş, yakın mesafeden görüntü edinimi gerektiren fiziksel biyometrilerin aksine, uzak mesafeden kaydedilmiş görüntüler üzerinden kişiyi tanımayı sağlamaktadır. Bu makalede, yürüyüşten kişi tanıma problemi için derin öğrenme yöntemi kullanan görünüm tabanlı bir yaklaşım önerilmiştir. Çalışmada, yürüyüş tanıma probleminde yaygın kullanılan girdiler olan ikili insan silüetinin ve yürüyüş enerji imgesinin kişi tanıma başarımına etkileri incelenmiştir. Ayrıca yöntemi pratik uygulamalarda kullanıma daha uygun hale getirebilmek için insan silüeti çıkarma, yürüyüş döngüsü hesaplama gibi ön işleme adımları kaldırılmış ve doğrudan RGB çerçeveleri girdi olarak kullanılmıştır. Ek olarak transfer öğrenmenin başarıma katkısı gözlemlenmiş, bu amaçla popüler bir nesne tanıma modeli CASIA-B yürüyüş veri kümesi üzerinde ince ayarlanmıştır. Yürüyüş dizisini temsil edecek öznitelik vektörünün elde edilmesi aşamasında çerçevelerden çıkarılan öznitelik vektörleri arasında farklı birleştirme yöntemleri denenmiş ve başarıları karşılaştırılmıştır. Önerilen yaklaşımın başarımı hem bu alanda sıkça kullanılan CASIA-B ve OU-ISIR Büyük Popülasyon yürüyüş veri kümelerinde hem de gerçek hayattan toplanmış yürüyüş verileri içeren PRID-2011 kişiyi yeniden tanıma veri kümesi üzerinde deneyler yapılarak ölçülmüştür. Açı farklılıklarının etkisini gözlemlemek için deneyler özdeş ve çapraz görünüm koşulları için tekrarlanmıştır. Derin öğrenme yaklaşımı kullanılarak elde ettiğimiz sonuçlar geleneksel yöntemlerin sonuçlarına göre daha başarılı bulunmuştur.

This study aimed to improve the Grade 8 students’ vocabulary skill through localized game-based activities. The participants of the study were the 35 Grade 8 students who were officially enrolled at the Mariano Marcos State University – Laboratory High School, Batac Campus, for the School Year 2021-2022. The data on students’ level of vocabulary performance were determined based on the students’ scores in the pretest and posttest, respectively, using a 20-item teacher-made test. Frequency distribution, means and mean difference were used to treat the data. Findings reveal that the Grade 8 have varied levels of vocabulary skill before and after the application of the intervention. Likewise, there is a significant change on the students’ pretest and posttest scores. Moreover, this study found that the use of localized game-based activities such as Pinoy Henyo and Bugtong Bugtong was effective in improving the students’ vocabulary skill.

The article changes the question of the mineralization of the Kazakh part of the Syrdarya River. The hydrological posts Kokbulak were chosen as the main creators, which is a border post for assessing the degree of mineralization of pine from the side of Uzbekistan and Kazaly, which in turn is the closure of the creator, taking into account the needs of the river ecosystem of the lower reaches and the Aral Sea. The article analyzes the changes in the total mineralization and the main ions of the Kazakhstani part of the river. Syrdarya, depending on the water content of the year (25%, 50%, 75%, 95% availability) both for periods with a conditionally natural and disturbed regime. A general analysis of changes in the intra-annual total distribution of minerals and groups of basic ions showed that at an important level, i.e. in the disturbed period of the absence of winter maxima and summer minima, there was more room for stochasticity alien to the conditionally natural period of the hydrological regime.

In the research work, a statistical analysis of the fogs’ repeatability in the Kazakhstan sector of the Caspian Sea, continuous duration, wind speed and direction, relative humidity was carried out. Operational data of observations from the following stations were used: isl. Kulaly, Fort-Shevchenko, Aktau and Tushchibek. The research period was from 1970 till 2020. Statistical analysis made it possible to identify the highest frequency of occurrence by seasons, half-years, to estimate the continuous duration of fogs depending on the time of the year and the location of the observation point. The maximum duration of the phenomenon and the accompanying meteorological conditions are also noted. A comparative analysis of the Fort-Shevchenko and Aktau stations was carried out. This made it possible to highlight excellent areas of wind direction with the appearance of fogs. This is a consequence of different baro-circulation conditions for the formation of the phenomenon. In the conclusion of the work, that the highest frequency of fogs on the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea is observed in the transitional seasons of the year, with the exception of Aktau station, which is located much farther south of the other stations. The longest continuous duration of fogs at the stations of Fort-Shevchenko, isl. Kulaly and Tushchibek are recorded in winter, up to 6...8 days. At Aktau station up to 6...8 days in the warm half of the year. Duration more than 60 hours on isl. Kulaly is celebrated during the cold season; the maximum duration in Aktau and Tushchibek in recent decades is significantly less than at other stations; a comparative analysis revealed that in Aktau the highest frequency of occurrence is in the western and eastern sectors, and in Fort Shevchenko in the northern.

The research was conducted to examine the mediator role of organizational cynicism in the effect of cynicism levels of administrative personnel in foundation higher education institutions on burnout levels. Within the scope of the research, data were collected with questionnaires to determine the general cynicism, organizational cynicism, and burnout levels of the administrative staff in foundation higher education institutions. Mediator analysis was performed to test the research model. As a result of the analysis of the data, it was concluded that the employees' general cynicism and organizational cynicism increased burnout, and organizational cynicism had an important role in the effect of cynicism on burnout. According to the findings, it is seen that the general cynicism perceptions of the employees increase burnout, but some of this effect is realized through organizational cynicism. It is suggested that the burnout levels of the employees are not high. Still, since the increase in the cynicism and organizational cynicism levels will cause negative results in burnout, activities should be designed to prevent the possible negative views of the employees.

Published: June 2022

This study examined parents’ perceptions of the usefulness of various sources of parenting information including: family members and friends, professionals, and various media sources, such as books and the Internet. Applying a modification of the Comprehensive Model of Information Seeking to parenting, this study examined associations between parents’ demographic characteristics, relevant personal experiences, and their perceptions of the usefulness of parenting information sources. Data were collected using an online survey (N = 1,339 parents of children 18 years old and younger). Results indicated that parents of preschool-aged children viewed family members, professionals, and books/magazines to be more useful than did parents of teenagers. Mothers reported all sources that were included in the survey as more useful sources of parenting information than did fathers, with the exception of their spouse/partner and information pamphlets. Fathers reported their spouse/partner to be a more useful source than the other sources offered in the survey. Parents of children with disabilities viewed their own parents and professionals as more useful sources of parenting information than did parents of children with no disabilities. Implications and recommendations for family life educators to consider both demographics and parent’s experience when designing parenting information dissemination efforts are discussed.

Published: June 2022

Youths’ perspectives are often unexplored in youth program development and implementation. This article examined youths’ perspectives of a 4-H youth prevention program called “Health Rocks!” that is designed to promote healthful decision-making skills, stress coping, and socioemotional skills related to substance use. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected and analyzed. Qualitative findings reveal that participants appreciated the fun and engaging curriculum, valued program staff who were interactive, and enjoyed the hands-on program activities. Participants also reported that the program positively impacted their knowledge and skills. Quantitative results show that participants who perceived the program as fun were significantly more likely to report engagement in the program, and participants who had positive views towards the program staff were significantly more likely to report knowledge after the program and engagement in Health Rocks! Findings have broader implications for future youth prevention program development, illustrating the need for engaging adult leaders and program activities to enhance the overall program experience for youth participants.

Published: June 2022

Despite communication efforts developed to educate the public about genetic modification (GM) science designed to ensure consumers are making educated purchasing decisions, most consumers do not seek out information about GM science and make emotional purchasing decisions. GM supporters and opponents can also be very vocal about their opinions, having an impact on those within their social realms of influence. Using opinion leadership theory, this study sought to identify GM opinion leaders within the U.S. who consider themselves to be outspoken and a source of information for GM science. An online survey was deployed with the purpose of identifying GM opinion leaders, determining their views on GM science, identifying where they go for information, and determining how they want to learn so that Extension professionals can better serve their needs. The findings imply GM science opinion leaders are younger, white or African American men, with a high average family household income, that are well educated. The GM science opinion leaders have a slightly negative attitude toward GM and want to learn about GM science from universities researching GM science and organizations in support of GM science through online mediums. Recommendations are offered for how Extension professionals can reach this audience.
Swelling of asymmetric pom-pom polymers in dilute solutions

Published: June 2022

In this paper we continue our recent analysis [K. Haydukivska et al., J. Mol. Liq., 2021, 328, 115456] of complex molecules with two branching points at both ends of the linear backbone with f1 and f2 side arms starting from them, known as the pom-pom polymers. Here, we analyze the asymmetric case, f1 ≠ f2, by applying both the analytical approach, based on the direct polymer renormalization, and computer simulations using both dissipative particle dynamics and Monte Carlo methods. We study the role played by the molecular asymmetry of average polymer conformations, considering the infinite dilution regime and good solvent conditions.The quantitative estimates are reported for the set of universal size and shape characteristics of such molecules and for their individual branches, all the functions of f1 and f2. In particular, we evaluate the size ratio of the gyration radii of symmetric and asymmetric pom-pom topologies with the same molecular weight and quantitatively reveal an increase of the effective size of a molecule caused by its asymmetry. We also introduce and analyse the asymmetry factor and estimate the shift of the center of mass caused by the presence of side stars, which can serve as another characteristic of the asymmetry of pom-pom structure.
