El abordaje del consumo problemático de sustancias en comunidades terapéuticas religiosas: el caso de las fazendas
Authors: Azar Benjamin
Published: July 2022

De acuerdo con diversos relevamientos, las problemáticas en salud mental vinculadas al consumo de sustancias se han constituido en las últimas décadas como uno de los mayores problemas de salud pública en general y de salud mental en particular, tanto a nivel regional como global. Esta compleja situación ha sido enfrentada a través de múltiples –y a veces contradictorios- paradigmas y dispositivos. El siguiente artículo tiene como objeto analizar las comunidades terapéuticas religiosas a partir del estudio de dos fazendas en la provincia de Tucumán, Argentina. Para ello, se realizó un estudio descriptivo-exploratorio en el que se entrevistó a exinternos, referentes de las fazendas y profesionales de la salud vinculados al consumo problemático de sustancias. Las fazendas son comunidades terapéuticas caracterizadas por una fuerte impronta religiosa, largas internaciones, aislamiento del medio familiar e incompatibilidad con tratamientos profesionales. Se busca ubicar a las comunidades terapéuticas religiosas en el contexto actual de abordajes del consumo de sustancias y poner en tensión a este particular dispositivo con los lineamientos de la Ley Nacional de Salud Mental, basada en tratados internacionales de Derechos Humanos.
¿A qué delincuentes juzga el diario Época? Un análisis sobre la construcción discursiva de un enemigo público
Authors: Barrios Noelia Irene
Published: July 2022

El objetivo del presente artículo es determinar los estereotipos que subyacen en el discurso periodístico policial del diario Época cuando representa a las personas que delinquen, los cuales repercuten en el grado de supuesta peligrosidad que se les atribuye. Para ello, se describió el tipo de contrato de lectura imperante en el matutino sobre los sujetos delincuentes, en clave de enemigo/adversario discursivo en común con el lector tipo, y la descripción del estereotipo de sujeto delincuente que Época construye y naturaliza en sus discursos y su relación con la estigmatización. Se analizaron, para tal fin, piezas publicadas por ese medio entre noviembre y diciembre de 2018 y enero de 2019, teniendo en cuenta dos supuestos que guiaron el trabajo: a) que a través de un contrato cómplice el Época construye y refuerza la idea de un tipo de delincuente que supone un enemigo común con sus lectores, y b) que mediante el empleo de recursos argumentativos el discurso del medio estigmatiza a estos sujetos/enemigos por medio de la naturalización de estereotipaciones negativas que refuerzan ideas preconcebidas sobre ellos. El estudio sociosemiótico, como tal, intentó brindar un aporte al estudio de las operaciones discursivas de diarios sobre hechos cotidianos, en este caso, la construcción diaria sobre los sujetos delincuentes y los hechos delictivos en el medio gráfico más vendido de la provincia de Corrientes, así como dejar abiertas nuevas preguntas y líneas de investigación para continuar esta clase de abordajes.

The Present challenge is to find a potent vaccine candidate for HIV-1 Virus. Thetherapeutic interventions for the prevention and elimination for HIV-1 infection requirenovel anti-HIV drugs and vaccines for immunization that can protect the people at riskand infected populations while providing them with a good quality of life and healthysociety. HIV/AIDS is endemic in South Africa and has the highest number of peopleliving with HIV in the world and has impacted other parts of the globe as well. Thisstudy focused on finding vaccine candidates against the HIV-1 virus. We can screentotal 24 HIV related protein by using different tools and parameters and only 5 proteins(VIF, VPU, SP2, RT and In.) qualified our screening condition and we use 5 proteinsfor vaccine construction. The constructed vaccine has successfully qualified all thescreening condition and have ability to activate our immune system against HIV-1 virus.

Leptospirosis vaccine candidates still need to be identified, which was a challenge. One such candidate, however, is OmpL37, a potential surface-exposed antigen with the highest elastin-binding capacity yet observed, indicating that it likely contributes significantly to host colonization. Cell viability is frequently evaluated using high throughput metabolic viability assays like MTT and MTS. Utilizing genomic, proteomic data, and computational methods, particularly deep learning systems, can be crucial in identifying vaccine targets. A new computational method for identifying and evaluating novel vaccination targets, which paves the way for the creation of a multi-epitope subunit vaccine candidate was using Vax-Elan. In order to uncover prospective vaccine candidates, the system screens genomic and proteomic datasets of multiple diseases, including leptospirosis species, using reverse vaccination and immuno-informatics. It uses supervised machine learning-based methods for vaccine discovery and an immuno-informatics approach. To computationally analyze and assess the pathogenic proteomes that were developed followed by narrowing down proteins that exhibit particular traits in order to rank them as prospective vaccination candidates. In this study, we developed new leptospirosis vaccine targets. Where the protein sequence of ligA [Id-ach98094.1] was extracted from the NCBI protein database. And the predicted amino acid sequence for LigA is a set of 90-amino-acid tandem repeats encoded by a 3,675-bp open reading frame. By using the Vax-Elan server to evaluate important properties, to check the suitability of this protein as a potential vaccine candidate. As per VaxElan, the protein is predicted to be 1 for Target p, if it is a signal peptide ligA is predicted to be a signal peptide and hence scored 1 as being a signal peptide is a criterion for a potential vaccine candidate. In the case of mTP and cTP, VaxElan gives a score of 0 and for 1TP VaxElan gives 0.05 which is followed by various research studies.

Assessment of Suitability of Mucin Associated Surface Protein as a Potential Vaccine Candidate for Chagas Disease
Authors: Walanju Aditi , Benny Joel , P Preeti , rawal kamal
Published: July 2022

Chagas' disease is anthropozoonosis caused by flagellated protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. American trypanosomiasis earned the name in honor of Dr. Carlos Chagas, described in his work, in 1909, the etiologic agent of the disease, the evolutionary cycle of parasites and vectors, and clinical manifestations of the critical stage (Chagas, 1909). Chagas disease causes significant morbidity and mortality in Latin America. The disease has recently become a public health concern in non-endemic areas such as the United States and Europe. MASPs are glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked glycoproteins encoded by a multigene family with hundreds of members. MASPs are among the most abundant antigens set up on the exterior of the pestilent trypomastigote stage of T.cruzi, making them an alluring target to vaccine development. In this study, the assessment of the suitability of MASP for Chagas disease as a potential vaccine candidate is done with the application of VaxELAN and VaxiDL. The entire proteome of TC-CLB (T. cruzi CL Brener) was screened using a computational pipeline to identify sets of PVCs. Following that, the B-Cell and T-cell epitopes were analyzed for various parameters, and the highest-scoring ones were shortlisted based on their antigenicities. Cross-protection studies with other Trypanosoma species and strains were also conducted to investigate the cross-protection potential of the selected epitopes. Several vaccine constructs were created by combining the various shortlisted epitopes with appropriate adjuvant and linker sequences. These were then evaluated for their physicochemical properties and subjected to structural studies, codon optimization, and immune modulation studies. In summary, the suitability of the MASP is checked using VaxELAN and VaxiDL as a potential vaccine candidate for Chagas disease.

Published: July 2022

Infants’ attention to the mouth is thought to support language acquisition, yet this relation has been scantly tested longitudinally. This study assessed attention to the mouth and the eyes at 5.5 (n=91; Polish, 49% females) and 11 months, between time-point changes and their associations with language development in infancy (11 months) and toddlerhood (24 months). Sex differences were also explored. Results showed an age-related increase in looking to the mouth and the magnitude of this change was associated with productive language, but only intoddlerhood. By contrast, looking to the eyes did not change and its duration at 5.5 months correlated with language development at 2 years. Exploratory analyses showed that in females, but not males, reduced mouth looking was related to better language outcomes in toddlerhood. Thus, looking to the mouth in infancy likely plays a long-term role in language acquisition and is potentially modulated by participant sex.

Prevalence of suicidal ideation and attempted suicide amongst women and girls in South Asia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Mazumder Hoimonty
Published: July 2022

AbstractA growing body of literature suggests an increased risk of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among women and girls in South Asia. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to appraise the current evidence and estimate the prevalence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in this population. We systematically searched nine bibliographic databases and additional sources through December 17, 2021, for studies that reported the prevalence of suicidal ideation or attempted suicide. Random-effect models were used to estimate pooled prevalence. From 30 eligible studies, prevalence estimates were pooled from 27 studies that reported suicidal ideation (n = 39674) and 12 studies of attempted suicide (n = 20791). The overall pooled prevalence of suicidal ideation was 17% (95% CI:14.00- 19.00) and attempted suicide was 5% (95% CI: 4.00-7.00). Thirteen studies enrolled adult women from the general population, nine recruited adolescents, and eight studies recruited medical/university students. Pakistan and Bhutan had the highest pooled prevalence of suicidal ideation and attempts, respectively. Pooled estimate of suicidal ideation was higher among adults, whereas estimated suicide attempts was found to be higher among adolescent girls. The high burden of suicidal ideation and attempt among South Asian women and girls suggesting a heavy psychosocial burden that necessitates a gender-sensitive integrated multi-sectoral approach.
Hierarchical attentional selection under global and local conflict
Authors: Nie Qi-Yang , Conci Markus
Published: July 2022

Identifications of a target flanked by incongruent distractors are typically slower than a target flanked by congruent distractors. Such congruency effects have been frequently reported with simple symbolic stimuli (i.e., letters or arrows). However, real-world objects are often rather complex and may represent information at multiple hierarchical levels, with more global levels receiving precedence over more local levels. Here, we developed a novel hierarchical variant of the flanker task to examine how flanker interference differs across global and local levels of object representations. Our results show that target processing is involuntarily influenced by the global representation of flankers, thus revealing a robust global congruency effect. By contrast, congruency effects arising from the local object representation were relatively weaker and depended on the task-relevance. For instance, a local congruency effect was found to gradually emerge with increasing task-relevance and/or saliency of the local object representations: No local congruency effect was evident at all for redundant targets (Experiment 1) and relatively weak flanker interference was found only when task-relevant and/or salient information was presented in local target and flanker objects (Experiments 2 and 3). Finally, a strong interference effect emerged for local targets among redundant flankers (Experiment 4). This dissociation between global and local object levels provides a novel perspective for attentional selection – global object representations lead to "automatic" processing of the flankers, while local flankers only interfere when the local object representation is task relevant, indicating that whether a cognitive conflict can be registered depends on the particular level at which the conflict is represented, and its degree of task relevance and saliency.
Development of auditory tracking and speech perception in noise
Authors: Calcus Axelle , Benocci Elena
Published: July 2022

In noisy surroundings, the auditory system must parse the auditory mixture reaching the ears to selectively focus on the relevant signal while ignoring the noise. In fact, in the presence of a similar-sounding interference, adults track a target stream over time by using a moving locus of attention. In spite of their functionally mature auditory system, school-age children’s perception of speech in noise remains poorer than adults’. The main aim of this study was to better understand the mechanisms underlying this protracted development. In particular, we focused on auditory tracking of voice streams, and its relationship to speech perception in noise throughout development. Our results indicate that tracking a synthetic target in the presence of a similar-sounding interference follows a protracted development, only starting to improve at adolescence. Speech perception in noise improved from childhood to adulthood. Irrespective of their age, listeners’ tracking performance significantly predicts their intelligibility in noise. These results suggest that the slow maturation of speech perception in noise might be partly attributed to the protracted development of auditory scene analysis until late adolescence.
Knowledge and Utilization of Family Planning Methods among people living with HIV in Kathmandu Valley
Authors: Bhoosal Anshu , Parajuli Riya , Karki Namrata
Published: July 2022

Background: HIV is a major global health issue, targeting the immune system and making the body prone to diseases. People living with HIV mostly face societal stigma and fear of disclosure resulting in discrimination of accessing health facilities leading to multiple sex partners, increased sexual activity and less use of condoms. HIV positive women are at risk of transmitting HIV to their infants and their partners. Thus, the family planning services if provided to PLHIV can help to improve their and families health. In addition to, it reduces the risk of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT). Family planning is seemed to be a cost effective strategy for preventing mother to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT). In Nepal, people living with HIV/AIDS were found to experience stigma and discrimination, ultimately resulting in discrimination of accessing health facilities. The purpose of this study is to explore the knowledge of family planning methods and identify factors affecting the current utilization of such methods among HIV infected men and women attending ART sites of Kathmandu Valley. The study is expected to contribute in enhancing the present understanding of PLHIV towards family planning.
Methods:  The cross sectional descriptive method was used for the research. The study followed Population proportion to size method for the calculation of the respondents from four ART sites of Kathmandu Valley. Structured questionnaire used previously in similar research has been adopted with necessary question related to dual contraceptive use.
Results: The mean age group of the respondents was (39.16 ± 6.969) years. More than two third respondents (69.5%) were Hindu. 34.8% respondents were married at the less than 20 years of age. Almost three- fourth of the PLHIV (74.4%) were literate where more than three fourth (79.3%) their spouses were literate and educated. About half of the respondents (43.9%) were found to be involved in professional/ technical/ managerial. More than half of the respondent’s spouses (63.4%) were HIV positive. All the respondents (100%) respondents had disclosed their status to their partners. Neither the respondents nor their partner had desire of further child. 28% of neither respondents nor their partners had used the family planning methods before HIV diagnosis. More than half (60.4%) of the respondents had sexual intercourse prior to last 6 months. 15.9% of the respondents positively responded to use of dual protection. Only 11% either respondents or their partners had used the emergency contraceptive pill. 17.7% respondents did not use any family planning. This study revealed that almost half of the respondents (48.8%) had the good knowledge on the use of contraception.
Conclusion: The use of dual protection is much less than the half of the respondents. Therefore, counseling and health education towards motivating PLHIV on using dual FP methods to avoid the risk of HIV, STIs and unplanned pregnancy is encouraged.
Biophilia in Kiran Desai's Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard
Authors: Tamang Dipak , Sigdel Madhusudan
Published: July 2022

This article explores biophilic consciousness in Kiran Desai’s novel, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard, from the perspective of Eco-criticism. The prime concern of this study goes to present the prevalence of biophilia representing through its main character, Sampath Chawla who escapes from the modern sense of materialism and human’s relationship with nature and others species, and comes up to the lap of nature where he gets complete happiness. Nature provides what he dreams to achieve in life. The orchard provides him shelter, animals become his friends, and nature provides him knowledge, freedom and peace putting forward the urgent need of maintaining harmonious relation between human, animals and nature. His dream of being a part of nature and its preserver gets symbolically fulfilled as he lives in the orchard with the monkeys, refusing every offer of his family. The study shows ultimate freedom, joy and happiness come from blending of human life with the nature suggesting us to go and enjoy carefully utilizing the nature. The researchers have employed eco-criticism and the eco-critics like Edward O. Wilson, Richard Kerridge and Chryll Glotfelty to form ecological ground for the analysis of the text showing much concern for perseverance, protection and promotion of the nature.

Exploring Psyche of the Gurkha Soldier in Koirala’s Soldier, Rai’s The Murderer and Bista’s The Andhikhola
Authors: Budhathoki Mahendra Kumar
Published: July 2022

Lahure, ‘Gurkha soldier’ has a unique image and personage in the World; people around the world characterise and praise the braveness and honesty of Gurkha soldiers. But no one describes and contemplates about the psyche and personality of the lahure outside the barracks and battlefields, and treat accordingly them. This research paper explored psyche, motives and mentality of lahures (“Gurkha soldiers”) in Koirala’s Soldier, Rai’s The Murderer and Bista’s The Anthi Khola. This paper exposed the pre-service, in-service and post-service conditions, thoughts and experiences of lahures, and unveils the psychological motives, intentions and personality of lahure in the stories selected. This research has exploited interpretative qualitative approach and utilised psychoanalysis theory to interpret the data from the stories; this theory exposed the mindset and mentality of a person like a lahure. Three stories of different writers are purposively selected to truly exhibit the psyche, persona and mind of lahures in the pre-service, in-service and post-service. The findings are that Koirala manifests the nature and mind sets of a lahure who is on leave and returns to the cantonment; the self of the soldier is ‘other’ to show people, and he also displays his own provocative character. Rai discloses the temperament and perception of ex-lahure in his village; circumstantial evidences and his subconscious forces him to slander and calumniate the accidental act. Likewise, Bista demonstrates the motivation, rationale and intention of lahure and village boys who wish to join army forces; their paramount intention is to pay off debts and earn for bread and butter as well as social status in the village. Rai also exemplifies how the beloveds are psychologically devastated by the lost lahure in wars. They divulged the psychic conditions, individuals’ unique thoughts and experiences of Gurkha soldiers to the particular problems outside the cantonments and battlefields. This research significantly unveils thoughts, provocation, psyche and motives of lahures to the (academic) publics who have heard and described the braveness and honesty of the Gurkha soldiers in the battle fields.
Composing the Self and Reflecting the Others in Life Writing: Theories and Practices
Authors: Gautam Mani Bhadra
Published: July 2022

Life writing is an art of scripting and concretizing his/her own or others images and audio-visual things with ideas, views, feelings etc. into written form. It subjectivisms on composing the self and stimulates scholars to concretize their views, ideas and feelings in the practical ground of the real world reflecting the others’ lives from narratives of an imaginary world. Oral histories cannot be long lasting as it is said that the originality of the stories, events or incidents might be missing in shifting of time and so life writing theories help to bring the views into practice from the coaxers and coaches to the listeners. Life writers write about the self reflecting on the memory, experiences, identity and embodiment. Agencies play the roles from inner selves and outer impressions and question on the truth. Life writers seek the sites through coaxers, coaches, agencies and story tellers to expose the structuring modes of self-inquiry in different forms of ‘I’ as autobiographical, narrating and historical as addressee or the media in front of the consumers or audiences from one generation to the others. Academic debates in the Writing Departments are serious in its philosophical and theoretical terms and objective of this article is to find out the gaps and reduce the confusion about its tools and techniques. Thus, this article copes to the challenges of Life Writing.
Why Academic Writing?
Authors: Gurung Raj Kumar
Published: July 2022

Yes, writing is really a challenging and a tough work. Academic writing is a technical writing. It differs from general writing. It is a coherent writing of good organization of words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, ideas and issues, whereas general writing is just the record of something like the data of information. They cannot be put in the same bucket. In academic writing, ideas and details are well combined so that the readers will not be confused to get the intended information. The general writing does not follow all these requirements. Academic writing means the incorporation of organizing, drafting and revising. Chronological order of all the elements is what academic writing is.
Religiosity and Radicalization in Don DeLillo’s Falling Man
Authors: Dhobi Saleem
Published: July 2022

This article analyzes DeLillo’s Falling Man, a 9/11 novel to explore the causes of conflict between the Muslim World and the West. How Islam impacts on their relationship has been the core aspect of discussion in the paper. The paper has found out that there are two paradigms of Islam: fundamentalist and liberal. The former has radicalized Muslim youths in the US universities as exemplified in the case of Hammad, the primary character in the novel. The agents of Islamic fundamentalism including Amir who provokes and prepares youths for suicide bombing have misused Islam for their vested interests. Geopolitics is one of the primary causes of the ongoing conflict between the West and the Muslim World. Radicalization has been found as a very devastating factor among youths as it spoils their future and blinds them to take the physical world meaningless. The author has demonstrated the problems created by the agents of both the West and the Muslim World to implant the seed of hatred against each other. Consequently, the innocent become victims of their heinous intents. Despite advocacy for human values by liberal Americans, Eurocentric mindset prevails as depicted in the novel. Thus, Islamic fundamentalism and Eurocentricism have widened the gap between the West and the Muslim World.
Lexicon of Spiritual Powers in the Nag Hammadi “Library” in the Light of the Texts of Ritual Power
Authors: Piwowarczyk Przemysław
Published: July 2022

The lexicon contains a complete list of spiritual beings (“powers”) mentioned by name in Nag Hammadi and related texts. They are presented against a broad background of ritual magic texts: “magical” papyri, defixiones, lamellae, and amulets of precious and semi-precious stones. The whole is also supplemented by extracts from patristic literature. The main part of the Lexicon is preceded by an introduction, in which the fundamental originality of the demonology of the Nag Hammadi texts is demonstrated. The book is addressed primarily to researchers interested in late antique Christianity, especially Gnosticism. Specialists in late antique magic will also benefit from it, as the lexicon juxtaposes two source corpora, which are generally considered separately. It is the first comprehensive undertaking of its kind in the world literature on the subject.

Balance model of dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus transportation and metabolism in the Dniester estuary system
Authors: Ilyin Yu. P. , Berlinsky N. А.
Published: July 2022

In order to obtain quantitative estimates of water and nutrient fluxes into the Dniester estuary system, the biogeochemical modeling approach recommended by the international program LOICZ was used. The integral (reservoir) model of the system consists of balance equations for water, salinity and dissolved forms of nitrogen and phosphorus. The research involves the information of the annual cycle (from November 2003 to October 2004) of hydrochemical studies at the mouth of the Dniester River and at the exit of the estuary to the Black Sea carried out within the framework of the international project GEF/BSERP, as well as the data of hydrometeorological observations at Belgorod-Dniestrovsky hydrometeorological station, Tzargorod Gyrlo hydrometeorological post and Odesa State Environmental University training base.

The water balance equation takes into account the flows of river runoff, precipitation and evaporation. Uncertainty associated with the failure of taking into account the underground runoff still remained. The use of an independent empirical assessment of the advective water flow through the Tzargorod Strait made it possible to estimate the degree of non-stationarity of the model equations on the scale of variability from a month to a year. The flow of turbulent exchange between the estuary and the adjacent sea is estimated by means of the salt balance equation and is determined by the difference between the estuary and marine water salinity.

By calculating the monthly and yearly values it was established that, for the Dniester estuary and similar systems, the water balance equation can be considered as stationary while the precipitation and evaporation flows can be neglected: compared to the river runoff, advective and turbulent water exchange flows they are several orders of magnitude lower, that is, below the limit of errors of horizontal water flows.

The joint action of the advective and diffusion flows ensured the overall removal of nutrients from the estuary ecosystem. During the annual cycle of 2003-2004 observations 73% of total dissolved phosphorus and 92% of total dissolved nitrogen entered the sea from the estuary compared to the amount reaching the estuary with the Dniester River runoff.

Stoichiometric analysis of biogeochemical residuals showed that, for most of the year, the ecosystem of the Dniester estuary produced organic matter and consumed dissolved phosphorus, while the nitrogen fixation in the ecosystem outweighed the denitrification process.
Forecasting the atmospheric air pollution caused by nitrogen dioxide in the City of Odesa
Authors: Chugai A. V. , Terzeman V. V.
Published: July 2022

In most of Ukrainian large cities with a high concentration of population the air quality often does not meet the requirements. The air quality is also a critical component for Odesa, a recreational and resort center of Ukraine. Moreover, Odesa is a city with a million inhabitants and a large number of vehicles, freight traffic resulting from the presence of the seaport. And nitrogen dioxide is one of the main pollutants. It is emitted to the air basin mainly by motor vehicles.

The paper presents the results of testing the certain methods of short-term forecasting of the atmospheric air nitrogen dioxide-related pollution level in Odesa. The study is based on the data taken from the materials of the National Report on the State of the Environment in Ukraine and the observations of air pollution using the network of stationary observation points.

The obtained results of the forecast for the winter period using the UkrSIHMI's method indicated that the dynamics of changes in the actual values of the indicator Q coincides with the prognostic values of such indicator. In summer the actual value of Q in almost all cases coincides with the prognostic indicators. The accuracy of the forecast according to the UkrSIHMI's method for the winter period averaged 96.6 %, and for the summer period – 98.3 %. According to the method of pattern recognition for the winter and summer periods the percentage of accuracy of predictions was only 67 %.

The UkrSIHMI's method proved to be more reliable than the method of pattern recognition. The low percentage of reliability of the forecasting results obtained via the method of pattern recognition may be due to modeling problems and small variance of pollution classes in the studied sample, as well as to the focus of the methodology on determining a pollution class rather than a level of pollution. The disadvantage of using the UkrSIHMI's method is the impossibility of using it in autumn and spring.

Forecasting the air pollution is one of the main ways to solve air quality problems in both industrial and urban agglomerations. Development of an effective prognostic scheme for forecasting the air pollution in our city can prevent further air quality deterioration.
