Authors: Holanda Júnior Francisco Wilson Nogueira , Lopes Fívia de Araújo , Silva "In Memorian" Lillian Karla Felix da , Fernández-Calvo Bernardino
Published: January 2024

Introdução: A pandemia da COVID-19 exacerbou o comportamento ansioso da população geral, com efeitos particulares para os estudantes universitários, um seguimento populacional reconhecidamente vulnerável a alterações clínicas de saúde mental. As queixas de dificuldades cognitivas são efeitos deletérios notáveis nesse contexto, a despeito da necessidade de mais informações sobre como a pandemia da COVID-19 se relaciona com a ansiedade e com as falhas no funcionamento cognitivo dos estudantes universitários. Objetivo: Este estudo avaliou a relação entre falhas cognitivas, sintomas de ansiedade generalizada e a percepção da pandemia da COVID-19 em estudantes universitários. Método: A amostra foi composta por 111 participantes, cujas respostas aos questionários foram analisadas a partir de estatística descritiva, correlação e análise de variância não paramétrica. Resultados: Houve uma associação forte e positiva entre a expressão de falhas cognitivas e os sintomas de ansiedade generalizada. Essas variáveis também se relacionaram à percepção do impacto da pandemia: uma percepção mais negativa se associou a um nível maior de falhas cognitivas e de ansiedade generalizada. Cerca de 50% da amostra apresentou sintomas graves de ansiedade generalizada. Conclusão: De forma geral, esses achados sugerem que a pandemia da COVID-19 trouxe efeitos deletérios aos estudantes universitários quanto às falhas cognitivas e à ansiedade generalizada. Esses indicativos podem ser importantes para implementar intervenções que mitiguem as dificuldades acadêmicas e diminuam o risco de evasão acadêmica.
Regional Mobilities, Technology and the Status of Myth in Africa
Authors: Mhlambi Thokozani
Published: January 2024

This article tracks my intellectual journey in trying to understand the role played by craft specializations before the colonial era in KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), which is the area where I come from. I do this by a comparative look at how craft specializations happened in other parts of the African continent, an approach prompted by the absence of older written or documentary sources on KwaZulu-Natal, prior to the advent of European colonialism. A key finding of the research is that the cultural and ritual repertoires of craft specialists reveal conceptual domains of expertise that are derived from intra-African regional dynamics. This contrasts with the colonial belief that implied that notions of expertise were as a result of European or Asian human contacts. In looking at craft guilds, I am interested in how ritual, technological skill and the mastery of certain musical/creative acts played a part in the formation of regional blocs in ancient Africa. Such a historical understanding may be crucial to our present-day understanding of emergent processes of regionalization and identity formation.
Introduction – Towards Third Worlding
Authors: El Zein Rayya , Kanuga Malav
Published: January 2024

In a well-known formulation, Vijay Prashad wrote that, “The Third World was not a place. It was a project.” This forum feels out ways to understand and remember the Third World project as a collective horizon of freedom enacted by ordinary people in their daily lives. Beyond the political leadership of the iconic leadership of Third World state leaders and the foundational conferences they convened, we seek to explore how the Third World was lived and imagined. We do so as an invitation to fellow teachers and students to deepen collective imagining through a twin process of learning and unlearning. Formulated as a practice of Third Worlding, this invitation is a proposal to make historical precedents familiar and make progressive visions of intersectional, anti-racist, decolonial struggle strange. It seeks out other ways of calling comrades into political practices by exploring the ways in which Third World subjects imagined and related to each other. In this introduction, we lay out what Third Worlding might offer as a tool for reorientation in the political present.

Relevance. Corneal transplantation with entire cornea or anormal layers replacement remains the only treatment option for patients with corneal endothelium pathology. Selective endothelial replacement was introduced into practice two decades ago, namely posterior lamellar keratoplasty, which has advantages over penetrating keratoplasty. Improvements of this method led to technique creation where isolated Descemet's membrane with endothelium monolayer without stromal layer is transplanted. This technology is associated with risks of intra- and postoperative complications, and is difficult to perform. Nowadays, development is in progress of introducing corneal endothelial cells (CECs) transplantation without stromal layer and even without Descemet's membrane. CECs transplantation in suspension form has potential to change treatment approach of corneal endothelium pathologies giving possibility of rapid eyesight recovery and reducing need for graft material. Purpose. To evaluate effectiveness of corneal CECs suspension transplantation on cadaver eye in ex vivo experiment. Material and methods. CECs suspension was obtained by modified enzymatic method. CECs transplantation experiment consisted of 3 stages. Firstly, CECs loss was calculated depending on cell administration method. Secondly, corneoscleral button was used as recipient for the obtained suspension. The third stage was carried out on cadaver eyeball. Results. The viability of transplanted CECs and their effective adhesion to Descemet's membrane was confirmed in this experiment. The characteristic markers of CECs ZO-1, Na+/K+ -ATPase, Ki67 were determined in corneal samples by immunohistochemistry assay and single cells expressing Vimentin were detected after one-week cultivation. Conclusion. Based on transplantation experiment results, it can be noted this technique is quite promising in surgical rehabilitation of patients with corneal endothelial dysfunction. Thus, it seems relevant to continue research to achieve the main goal – to fully cover the defect of central zone of corneal posterior surface with isolated CECs given that their morphology and functional activity are preserved. Key words: cornea, endothelial corneal dystrophy, endothelial cell suspension, corneal endothelial cell transplantation

Authors: Nuo Xu
Published: January 2024

In the history of the origin and development of aesthetic ideas, refl ected in music psychology in China, two historical stages should be highlighted: the fi rst one – from antiquity to the beginning of the 20th century, and the second stage – from the beginning of the 20th century to the present, when the Chinese civilisation turned to the assimilation of Western forms of culture, including music. The article presents the view of one of the main researchers of musical psychology of the fi rst third of the 20th century, professor Wang Guangqi, and analyses the signifi cance of his ideas for the formation and development of musical psychology as a new science, as well as their relevance in the current problem fi eld of this area of musicology.
Unveiling Groundwater Quality in Bilaspur City: Statistical Insights and Physicochemical Analysis
Authors: Singh Sanju , Jain Bhawana , Upadhyay Manish
Published: January 2024

Water is a vital natural resource for all living things, ecological systems, human health, food production, and economic growth. Chemical and microbiological pollutants endanger the safety of drinking water and cause major health problems. Therefore, water quality must be ensured by routine testing for both kinds of contaminants. In this research, comprehensive statistical analyses to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics of groundwater are employed. Groundwater samples were collected from four Selected Areas of Bilaspur City, Chhattisgarh, India. The Water indexes parameters such as pH, Total hardness (TH), total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, alkalinity, chloride (Cl-1), fluoride (F-1), calcium, magnesium, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) are observed on the post-monsoon season with Standard methods and compared with IS: 10500 standards established by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for drinking water in India. The findings reveal generally favourable water quality, with slight variations observed in some values. Post-statistical measures such as Pearson Correlation and Descriptive Statistics are applied to explore the significant relationships among various variables and to provide a deeper understanding of the interplay between different parameters. The study underscores the importance of continuous monitoring to safeguard groundwater resources. It proposes future research to investigate factors influencing groundwater quality and assess the efficacy of remediation strategies in specific areas.
Modular synthesis of heterobenzylic amines via Carbonyl Azinylative Amination
Authors: Gaunt Matthew , Rafaniello Alex , Kumar Roopender
Published: January 2024

The synthesis of α-alkyl, α’-2-azinyl amines by addition of 2-heteroaryl-based nucleophiles to alkyl substituted iminium ion is typically a challenging synthetic transformation due to mismatched reactivities and competing deprotonation adja-cent to the carbon-nitrogen double bond. Here, we report a solution to this problem through the development of a multi-component coupling process wherein a putative 2-azinyl indium nucleophile, generated in situ from the corresponding 2-iodo heteroarene and indium powder, adds to an iminium ion that is also formed directly in the reaction. This modular and operationally straightforward carbonyl azinylative amination (CAzA) displays a broad scope, does not require a tran-sition metal catalyst and only a metal reductant is needed to generate a reactive 2-azinyl nucleophile in the reaction. Beyond the addition to iminium ions, the 2-azinylation of polyfluoromethyl ketones to form the corresponding tertiary al-cohols is also disclosed. Together, the products of these reactions possess a high degree of functionality, are typically challenging to synthesize by other methods, and contain motifs recognized as privileged in the context of pharmaceuti-cals and agrochemicals.

Published: January 2024

Background and Aims Anemia in pregnancy leads to poor outcomes. The Indian government has reduced anemia only at a marginal level from 58 in the National Family Health Survey NFHS-3 to 50.4 in the NFHS-4 survey. This study aims to determine the predictors of anemia among pregnant women in the maternal antecedents of adiposity and studying the transgenerational role of hyperglycemia and insulin MAASTHI cohort of Bengaluru. This will help provide valuable information to design the appropriate intervention to lower the prevalence of anemia.Method The study was nested in the MAASTHI cohort study in public health facilities in Bengaluru. The present study was a multi-center prospective cohort study. Pregnant women attending health facilities for antenatal care were included in the study after obtaining their written consent. Socio-demographic information obstetric details smoking status and alcohol consumption among participant and their spouse were noted. Social support psychosocial stress and detailed anthropometry were recorded. All eligible pregnant women were asked to undergo a blood hemoglobin and oral glucose tolerance test after the completion of 26 weeks of gestation.Results A total of 2447 study participants with a mean age of 24.28 plusmn 4.07 years were included in the study. The overall prevalence of maternal anemia was 44.4 N 1375. Among them 24 had mild Hb 10ndash10.9 gmdl 15.8 had moderate Hb 7-9.9gmdl and 0.4 had severe anemia Hb lt7gmdl. Multivariate analysis showed that obstetric factors such as parity had a significant association with anemia. In contrast nutrition-related factors such as not consuming iron and folic acid IFA supplements and being underweight were positively associated with anemia.Conclusion Our study found a higher prevalence of maternal anemia during pregnancy in urban Bengaluru. The government should take proactive health promotion initiatives such as effective campaigns and nutrition-specific interventions especially iron supplementation. Integrated dietary interventions such as food fortification with iron and folate and IFA supplementation targeting from childhood to adolescence and reproductive age rather than targeting pregnant women may help to reduce the burden of anemia.

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has recently been identified as a common complication in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are undergoing hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD). The risk factors for the development of PAH in those patients are not well understood. Objective: To investigate the risk factors for the development of PAH in patients with ESRD on HD. Patients and Methods: This is a hospital-based cross-sectional study of 50 ESRD patients undergoing HD. The pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) was measured using echocardiography. PASP ˃ 25 mmHg at rest was defined as PAH. As a result, patients were divided into two groups: those who had PAH and those who did not. Each patient's demographic, biochemical, and echographic findings were documented. Results: Out of 50 patients, 19 (38%) had PAH, while the remaining 31 (62%) had normal PASP. In multivariate analysis, HD duration > 3.4 years (OR= 2.13, 95%CI=1.45-31.38, p= 0.025), hypertension as a cause of ESRD (OR=6.12, 95%CI=1.4-26.77, p=0.031), hemoglobin (Hb) ≤ 10.0 g/dl (OR= 4.35, 95%CI=1.88-9.84, p= 0.018), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)≤ 55% (OR= 6.75, 95%CI=1.87-23.74, p=0.021) were independent factors associated with PAH. PASP had a significant positive correlation with the rate of fistula flow (r= 0.295, p= 0.038) and E/A ratio (r= 0.368, p= 0.008), but a significant negative correlation with LVEF (r= -0.345, p= 0.014). PASP had a positive significant correlation with each of rate of fistula flow (r= 0.295, p= 0.038) and E/A ratio (r= 0.368, p= 0.008), while it has a negative significant correlation with LVEF (r= -0.345, p= 0.014). Conclusion: Longer duration of HD, hypertensive nephropathy as a cause of ESRD, Hb≤ 10 g/dl, and LVEF ≤55% are among the demographic, biochemical, and clinical factors associated with the development of PAH in patients with ESRD under HD. The PASP has a positive correlation with fistula flow rate and E/A ratio and a negative correlation with LVEF. Keywords: Pulmonary arterial hypertension, End stage renal disease, Hemodialysis.

Factors influencing conodont apatite δ18O variability in the Ordovician: a case study from New South Wales, Australia
Authors: Quinton Page C. , Percival Ian G. , Zhen Yong Yi , MacLeod Kenneth G.
Published: January 2024

Oxygen isotopic ratios of conodont apatite can be a robust proxy for sea surface temperatures and provide important constraints on global climate. The oxygen isotopic composition of seawater is a function of local, regional, and global processes. To determine the relative importance of regional and local influences (and therefore make global inferences), it is necessary to document high-resolution δ18O records from a variety of paleogeographic and environmental settings. Available conodont δ18Ophos records for the Ordovician, however, are biased towards North American samples, often come from multiple discontinuous sections, and tend to focus only on specific intervals (e.g., the Katian Stage). To extend the paleogeographic range and test the generality of Ordovician δ18Ophos trends, wemeasured δ18Ophos values from species-specific conodont assemblages from New South Wales, Australia. Our results from this region show that Early Ordovician δ18Ophos averages are ∼2‰ lower than those in the Late Ordovician and are consistently ∼2.5‰ lower relative to values reported from North America and central Australia. This offset suggests that regional environmental conditions influenced the δ18Ophos record from New South Wales. Despite evidence suggesting a departure from open ocean conditions, our results still show increasing δ18Ophos values through the Early Ordovician in agreement with documented trends from other regions. This similarity suggests that the δ18Ophos increase (documented on separate continental blocks and different environmental settings) reflects global cooling rather than a change in the oxygen isotopic composition of the Ordovician oceans and strengthens the argument that biodiversification and climate change in the first half of the Ordovician were related.
Just the Two of Us: Those Who Co-Teach, Co-Learn
Authors: Matlin Talitha , Carr Allison
Published: January 2024

Teaching librarians are always seeking opportunities to improve their professional practice. Traditional forms of professional and personal development—attending workshops and conferences and reading the scholarly and practitioner literature—are valuable and useful, but often ignore the powerful personal connections we have between colleagues. Using a narrative approach, this article will provide two teacher librarians’ stories about their experiences with team teaching as a method of professional development. Turning the traditional mentorship model on its head, each librarian contributed equally to the relationship and took the risk of being vulnerable in order to learn from one another. A newer librarian, looking to expand her teaching toolkit, become acculturated to her new institution, and develop her teacher identity, taught alongside an experienced librarian looking for new teaching techniques, a way to prevent “burnout,” and a more intentional and reflective approach to teaching. In addition, the authors will discuss the theoretical underpinnings of the benefits of team teaching and will provide recommendations for others through an account of how they planned, managed the classroom, and assessed student work.
Low-Hanging Fruit: Leveraging Short-Term Partnerships to Advance Academic Library Outreach Goals
Authors: Meyer Erin
Published: January 2024

For academic libraries wishing to extend their outreach, existing and potential short-term, project-based collaborations are the low-hanging fruit. Such partnerships include student organizations, various institutional offices, and councils of one kind or another. Keys to success for libraries include flexibility, personal relationships, openness to work outside of academic units and outside of the library, strategic planning, knowing the resources needed and those that already exist, and a desire and ability to move from conversation to action. Leveraging these types of collaboration can enable the library to extend its reach far more than in acting alone.

Published: January 2024

The high-quality raw materials availability in Russia today is the main determining factor in the dairy market development. High bacterial contamination leads to a deterioration in taste, a decrease in the nutritional value of raw milk and products made from it, and also contributes to a significant reduction in its shelf life. The research aims at the magnetic laser exposure use to raw milk to optimize its technological characteristics. Depending on the power, radiation frequency and exposure time, a man run the experiment with raw milk selected from one batch of cows in the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Streletskoe” of the Russian Agricultural Academy of the Oryol district of the Oryol region, in comparison with raw milk pasteurized at a temperature of (76 ± 2) °C for 20 sec. The researchers used the device “Mustang 1” (model 017) with and without a magnetic laser nozzle MLO-1 as a magnetic laser emitter. They studied the laser exposure impact on the organoleptic, physico-chemical and microbiological parameters of raw milk in order to create conditions for the high-quality, competitive fermented milk products manufacture. The magnetic laser radiation reduces the titratable acidity of raw milk by 1–2 °T, enabling an increase in the milk grade from the second to the first one and an extension of the bactericidal phase in compliance with organoleptic parameters. The authors adjusted the optimal mode of processing raw milk using magnetic laser radiation: power – 80 W, radiation frequency – 3000 Hz, exposure – 256 sec.

El consumidor está cada vez más interesado en su estado de salud y bienestar, por lo que ha incrementado la demanda de alimentos funcionales. La impregnación de compuestos bioactivos en productos hortofrutícolas es una tecnología reciente que abre una puerta de oportunidad a un mercado más exigente, por lo cual una revisión bibliográfica de las últimas investigaciones provee un panorama para futuros trabajos en el tema. La impregnación de compuestos bioactivos en la fracción porosa de frutas y hortalizas se logra mediante deshidratación osmótica (DO). En este sentido, conocer los factores de la DO que determinan la impregnación de compuestos bioactivos en tejidos vegetales, su estabilidad fisicoquímica durante almacenamiento y las últimas tendencias en productos hortofrutícolas osmodeshidratados que podrían ser considerados alimentos funcionales es muy importante. Por lo que en esta revisión se consideró información científica de diferentes bases de datos y fue organizada en tres secciones que se discuten: fundamentos de la DO, productos hortofrutícolas enriquecidos con compuestos bioactivos y la estabilidad fisicoquímica de estos productos durante almacenamiento.
An Exercise of Style and Power
Hans Holbein the Younger and the Painted Facade of the Hertenstein House in Lucerne (1517)
Authors: Dindar Sandes
Published: January 2024

The exercise of power through art will be presented with the case of the Hertenstein house in Lucerne (Switzerland), whose decoration was destroyed in 1825. Owner and patron Jakob von Hertenstein (1460-1527) asserted his authority in the city with signs of prestige. The facade’s exterior embellishment, done by Hans Holbein the Younger, is based on a complex set of visual means underpinned by political rhetoric (exempla, Gesta romanorum, heraldry). Faux architecture builds rapport and expresses the owner’s ethics. Hertenstein linked himself to Caesar’s grandeur with a variation on Mantegna’s Triumphs of Caesar, painted for the Marquis of Mantua.
The Object Looks Back: Paraesthetic Vision in Portrait de la jeune fille en feu and Optic Nerve
Authors: Tiwari Mansi
Published: January 2024

Focusing on Céline Sciamma’s film, Portrait de la jeune fille en feu (2019) and Maria Gaínza’s novel, Optic Nerve (2014), I turn to two texts interested in the structure of vision to interrogate gendered dynamics of power. By formalizing alternate relations between subjects and objects, the portrait offers a space to negotiate the unidirectional and subordinating logic of the seeing subject. Focusing on interventions that interrupt and collapse the positions of the viewer and the viewer, both texts employ paraesthetic articulations of the gaze to redress the imbalance inherent in our conception of vision.
Unseen Memories
Exploring Imagery in Jeremy Deller’s We’re Here Because We’re Here and the 14-18 NOW Project
Authors: Bertoli Angelica
Published: January 2024

This essay aims to investigate the intricate interplay between visual arts and theatrical events by conducting an in-depth analysis of how their convergence can create impactful imagery; it will deal with 14-18 NOW, a cultural programme that took place around the United Kingdom to commemorate the centenary of the First World War. Within this context, the author will particularly focus on artist Jeremy Deller’s performative and participatory project entitled We’re Here Because We’re Here. This case of study is significant as it represents a ‘performative apparatus’ that opens to some interdisciplinary artistic practices at the turn of the  21st century.

Application of biophilic natural lighting to reduce blue spectrum exposure in dark rooms on children’s sleep quality
Authors: Ahmad Nur Atiqah , Zakaria Safial Aqbar
Published: January 2024

Technology plays an essential role in people's lives, and gadgets have become a prevalent trend for information and communication. However, excessive gadget use among children can have negative side effects. Children often spend extended periods of time engaged with gadgets, disregarding screen brightness and maintaining a close distance to the screen. Some parents resort to gadgets as a quick way to pacify their children during tantrums. To address the challenges posed by advanced technology, this study aims to observe and interview parents with children aged 5 to 12. According to UC Davis Health in California, blue light, which is emitted by electronic devices, has the shortest wavelength and the highest energy. It can disrupt the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep. Exposure to blue light in a dark room, such as when children use electronic devices at night, further disrupts their sleep patterns. To mitigate this, the study will explore the implementation of biophilic natural lighting, which mimics the lighting found in nature. The goal is to create a harmonious and healthier environment that connects children with the natural world, promoting their well-being. By conducting a case study involving workers in biophilic and non-biophilic environments and a dark room is not an ideal choice for playing with gadgets, the study aims to investigate how biophilic natural lighting can reduce the exposure to blue spectrum in dark rooms, particularly for children. The ultimate objective is to determine the impact of biophilic natural lighting on children's sleep quality and propose effective lighting strategies to improve their overall sleep quality. The results of this study will demonstrate the significant improvement in children's sleep quality with the implementation of biophilic natural lighting, providing valuable design guidelines for creating healthier environments for children.
