Water Management Issues in Indian Cities: Case Study of Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India
Authors: Kushwaha Ar. Dilip Singh
Published: February 2022

Abstract: Urban development has a substantial role for depleting and polluting surface water sources along with contamination of ground water sources. It creates several uncertain circumstances due to reduction in quantity of water and this land become barren on surfaces. As a result, people started to encroach it, which further impact on water bodies in undesirable way. These water bodies are anguish due to continuous pollution and change the way of treatment of urban water bodies, even government also converted these water bodies and rivers in to drain and area for dumping garbage. These are also miss used by local communities for many purposes like open defecations, occasionally these are used for immersion of idol due to lack of facilities and other reasons too. Besides all of these Industrial effluents, run off from nearest agricultural fields, refuse from sewage and other domestic wastes provide a nice platform for eutrophication. (http://spaenvis.nic.in/index1.aspx?) Now everyone is worried about the potential water scarcity in the face of increasing, mainly population-driven, water demands, and its consequences on our energy and food production. The Over 900 recognized professionals conducted a survey for under the heading “Global Risk Perception Survey”, it is directed by the World Economic Forum. They found that reports that the highest level of common impact over the next 10 years will be from water crises. (http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Global_Risks_2015_Report15). So, this paper is an attempt to see challenges in Indian fast-growing cities and how we can manage water resource those are engulfed by rapid urbanization. Principally focused on the depleted source and characterize their conditions. Keywords: Urban Water Bodies, Water management, Water Crisis, Urbanization, Globalization, Indian Cities, Gwalior.

El capital cultural es todavía la distinción de las clases medias. Entrevista a Ana Wortman
Authors: Giaimo Mariangela
Published: February 2022

Desde 1994 es investigadora del Instituto Gino Germani, del área de Estudios Culturales de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Ha trabajado en el tema de los consumos culturales y, particularmente, su encarnación en las clases medias y las clases populares. Afirma que la función de cohesión social que tenían ciertos productos de la industria cultural —como el folletín o el libro— no la tienen hoy los medios masivos. Sin embargo, las clases medias empobrecidas tienden a consumir cultura —en especial por las políticas culturales ofrecidas por el Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires— para diferenciarse de las clases populares. Mientras tanto, los mensajes publicitarios apelan a imaginarios de una nueva clase media que se dedica al trabajo intelectual y y tiene por metas el éxito, la juventud y el hedonismo.

La comunicación intercultural es un campo de estudio vasto, complejo y aún hoy bastante indefinido, a pesar de tener una trayectoria de investigaciones y teorías que se remontan a los años 50. En el marco de los estudios organizacionales que se enfocan en la problematización de la gestión intercultural a principios de este siglo, la comunicación no aparece como un objeto de estudio, sino como un tema transversal que atraviesa otros fenómenos organizacionales como el liderazgo, el trabajo en equipo, la generación y transferencia de conocimiento o el cambio. La interpretación de los mensajes y la construcción de sentidos conjuntos aparecen como los procesos clave a analizar para evitar conflictos interculturales.Palabras clave: comunicación intercultural, organización, interpretación de mensajes, construcción de sentido.Intercultural communication is a vast and complex field of study, relatively undefined to this day, despite having a research and theoretical background that goes back to the 1950s. In the context oforganizational studies that focus on the problem of intercultural management at the beginning of this century, communication studies do not appear as a subject of research, but as a cross topic among other organizational phenomena such as leadership, team work, knowledge creation and transfer or change. The interpretation of messages and the construction of common meanings appear as the key processes to analyze in order to avoid intercultural conflict.Key words: intercultural communication, organization, message interpretation, meaning construction

Authors: Avila Diana
Published: February 2022

INTRODUCTION: Rhabdomyolysis is a clinical and paraclinical syndrome characterized by the presence of skeletal muscle necrosis that leads to the consequent release of intracellular muscle components with a variable clinical  presentation and  complications that put life at risk such as acute kidney injury

METHODS: We present a case report of a patient with a rhabdomyolysis with a severe elevation of muscle enzymes and secondary acute kidney injury who was subsequently documented (initial Total CK 189,000 u/L) after  extreme physical activity (CrossFit), who developed multiple complications and the need for support in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with satisfactory outcome.

RESULTS: Patient with  and kidney failure, receiving renal therapy with a favorable evolution and survival at discharge from the intensive care unit of a third-level hospital in the city of Pereira, Risaralda, Colombia.

CONCLUSIONS: Rhabdomyolysis is a clinical and paraclinical syndrome characterized by the presence of skeletal muscle necrosis. The main cause is a severe direct traumatic injury or crushes injuries, however, other conditions such as infections, intoxication, muscle ischemia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, malignant hyperthermia, metabolic disorders, and genetic pathologies can also cause it, and particularly the Prolonged rest or immobilization or strenuous exercise. The clinical presentation and complicatios are variable.

“Trouble with the Transition: The Transfer of Power from Carter to Reagan“
Authors: Anslover Nicole
Published: February 2022

The transition between presidents – especially when changing parties – is a wildcard in U.S. foreign policy that often confuses or concerns nations engaged with the United States. Though there are systems in place to ensure information gets passed from one administration to another, ideas and their execution can change dramatically when a new president takes office. Using the Carter-Reagan transition as a case study, this paper explores how the successes and failures in presidential transitions had long term effects on U.S. foreign policy, grand strategy, and international position, such as the definitive end of détente and a more hardline foreign policy.
From the Hood to the White House: The Cultural Imaginary of Presidential Blackness in Head of State
Authors: Gerhard Atalie
Published: February 2022

This article analyzes the film Head of State’s cultural imaginary of presidential blackness that signifies national progress while sublimating social conflict. The plot imagines a black man from the hood successfully running for presidency, living the American dream, and becoming an unconventional national icon. His symbolic blackness comprises two markers of difference: his identification with the disenfranchised hood and the black diaspora. As he challenges racial inequality in the U.S. as well as moral corruption among the élite, he unifies one historical fiction of America. I focus on how the film attributes an anti-establishment legacy to a minority president based on his countercultural identity performances although he remains complicit with foundational institutions of government. While the film projects hopes for future racial and economic equality upon a fictional black president and strategically redefines the American dream, I argue that it appropriates and revives American exceptionalist myths.

Immunopathology of Terminal Complement Activation and Complement C5 Blockade Creating a Prosurvival and Organ-protective Phenotype in Trauma
Authors: Yang Zhangsheng , Nunn Miles , Le Tuan , Simovic Milomir , Edsall Peter , Liu Bin , Barr Johnny , Lund Brian , Hill-Pryor Crystal , Pusateri Anthony , Cancio Leopoldo , Li Yansong
Published: February 2022

Background and Purpose: Traumatic hemorrhage (TH) is the leading cause
of potentially preventable deaths that occur during the prehospital
phase of care. No effective pharmacological therapeutics are available
for critical TH patients yet. Here, we identify terminal complement
activation (TCA) as a therapeutic target in combat casualties and
evaluate the efficacy of TCA inhibitor (nomacopan) on organ damage and
survival in vivo. Experimental Approach: Complement activation products
and cytokines were analyzed in plasma from 54 combat casualties, and the
correlations between activated complement pathway(s) and the clinical
outcomes in trauma patients were assessed. Nomacopan was administrated
to rats subjected to lethal TH (blast injury and hemorrhagic shock).
Effects of nomacopan on TH were determined using survival rate, organ
damage, physiologic parameters, and laboratory profiles. Key Results:
Early TCA was found to be associated with systemic inflammatory
responses and clinical outcomes in this trauma cohort. Lethal TH in the
untreated rats induced early TCA that correlated with severity of tissue
damage and mortality. The addition of nomacopan to a damage control
resuscitation (DCR) protocol significantly inhibited TCA, decreased
local and systemic inflammatory responses, improved hemodynamics and
metabolism, attenuated tissue and organ damage, and increased survival.
Conclusion and Implications: Our findings reveal that early TCA
represents a rational therapeutic target for trauma patients; and
nomacopan as a prosurvival and organ-protective drug, could emerge as a
promising adjunct to DCR that may significantly reduce the morbidity and
mortality in severe TH patients while awaiting transport to critical
care facilities.
On block diagonal majorization and basic sequences
Authors: Eshkaftaki Ali , Eftekhari Noha
Published: February 2022

In this paper we generalize (finite) block diagonal matrices to infinite
dimensions and then by using block diagonal row stochastic matrices (as a
special case), we define the relation < bdr on c0, which is said block
diagonal majorization. We also obtain some important properties of Pbdr, the
set of all bounded linear operators T : c0 ? c0; which preserve < bdr :
Further, it is obtained necessary conditions for a bounded linear operator T
on c0 to be a preserver of the block diagonal majorization < bdr. Also, the
notion of the basic sequences correspond to block diagonal row stochastic
matrices with description of some relevant examples will be discussed.
Analysis of a tritrophic food chain model with fear effect incorporating prey refuge
Authors: Saha Sangeeta , Samanta G.P.
Published: February 2022

In this work, we have introduced a tritrophic food-chain model where consumer
hunt for prey with Holling type-III functional response. The birth rate of
the prey population has been reduced due to the fear of predation, i.e., a
fear effect is considered in the prey population. Moreover, a fraction of the
prey is available to the consumer for consumption and this has been done by
incorporation of prey refuge term. The predation between consumer and
predator follows Beddington-DeAngelis response. Boundedness and positivity
of the system prove that the proposed model is well-posed. Also, there are
some parametric restrictions under which the system is permanent.
Routh-Hurwitz criterion shows the local stability conditions of the
equilibrium points and on the other hand Lyapunov LaSalle theorem guarantees
that the locally stable equilibrium points are globally stable. Also, Matlab
validates the analytical results with the help of diagrams. The occurrence
of transcritical bifurcations have been shown and conditions for the
existence of a limit cycle in the system through Hopf bifurcation also have
been stated. Both the analytical and numerical results suggest that a
certain amount of fear can make the system steady. It is also noted that the
prey refuge has both stabilizing and destabilizing effect on the system.
The nonlinear effects of ownership concentration and board structure on bank performance
Authors: Vural Gamze , Bacha Simoes
Published: February 2022

This study looks into the relationships between the banks? ownership structures, the characteristics of their boards, and their performance. A bank?s performance varies depending on a series of different factors. In recent years, the evaluation of performance in the context of corporate governance practices has gained importance. This study considers the issue from the perspective of developed nations, looking at the examples of the United States and the United Kingdom. The findings demonstrate that adopting certain corporate governance practices improves a bank?s performance levels over previous periods. Having a duality in the board structure and increasing its proportion of nonexecutive board members improve a bank?s performance. In contrast, a statistically significant negative relationship was found between bank performance and board size, board members appointed for their specific skills, and the number of board meetings. It was also discovered that there is no linear relationship between the proportion of strictly independent board members on a board of directors and performance. A nonlinear relationship was found between bank ownership concentration and their performance. The discovery of a nonlinear relationship between performance and increasing concentration in a bank?s ownership structure and the proportion of strictly independent board members on its board is a sign that there is an optimal level for these variables.
AN AUSTRALIAN INDIGENOUS ADVANCEMENT AGENDA
Authors: Gamble Denise D.
Published: February 2022

This paper distills arguments by Indigenous public intellectual Noel Pearson in support of an “uplift” agenda for remote Australian Aboriginal communities suffering corrosive disadvantage and intergenerational dysfunction. Pearson draws on Amartya Sen while prioritizing personal responsibility, and attempts a synthesis of liberalism, social democracy, and capabilities building. The present paper also draws on Martha Nussbaum’s and Rutger Claassen’s capabilities approaches, with points of resonance and/or agreement with Pearson’s arguments highlighted. Under a charitable reading, Pearson’s position is defensible against prevailing criticisms, including the criticism that his responsibility emphasis leads him to misunderstand and misapply Sen’s capabilities theory, and that his policies are illiberally perfectionist and paternalistic, ultimately assimilationist, and in breach of Kant’s humanity principle.
IMPURE SEMIOTIC OBJECTIONS TO MARKETS
Authors: Dick David G.
Published: February 2022

Semiotic objections to markets urge us not to place a good on the market because of the message that doing so would send. Brennan and Jaworski reject them on the grounds that either the contingent semiotics of a market can be changed or the weakness of semiotic reasons allows them to be ignored. The scope of their argument neglects the impure semiotic objections that claim that the message a market sends causes, constitutes, or involves a nonsemiotic wrong. These are the most compelling class of semiotic objections and are the kind actually advanced in the literature. Rather than focusing on the necessity or contingency of a market’s semiotics, we should instead attend to a semiotic objection’s most important feature: its purity or impurity.
BLAME IT ON DISAPPOINTMENT
Authors: Menges Leonhard
Published: February 2022

Blame skeptics argue that we have strong reason to revise our blame practices because humans do not fulfill all the conditions for it being appropriate to blame them. This paper presents a new challenge for this view. Many have objected that blame plays valuable roles such that we have strong reason to hold on to our blame practices. Skeptics typically reply that non-blaming responses to objectionable conduct, like forms of disappointment, can serve the positive functions of blame. The new challenge is that skeptics need to show that it can be appropriate (or less inappropriate) to respond with this kind of disappointment to people’s conduct if it is inappropriate to respond with blame. The paper argues that current blame-skeptical views fail to meet this challenge.
Plasma Industrial and Ruminant Trans Fatty Acids and Incident Type 2 Diabetes in the EPIC-Potsdam Cohort
Authors: Prada Marcela , Wittenbecher Clemens , Eichelmann Fabian , Wernitz Andreas , Kuxhaus Olga , Kröger Janine , Weikert Cornelia , Schulze Matthias B.
Published: February 2022

OBJECTIVE

Although dietary intake of trans fatty acid (TFA) is a major public health concern because of the associated increase in the risk of cardiovascular events, it remains unclear whether TFAs also influence risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and whether industrial TFAs (iTFAs) and ruminant TFAs (rTFAs) exert the same effect on health.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

To investigate the relationship of 7 rTFAs and iTFAs, including 2 conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs), plasma phospholipid TFAs were measured in a case-cohort study nested within the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition–Potsdam cohort. The analytical sample was a random subsample (n = 1,248) and incident cases of T2D (n = 801) over a median follow-up of 6.5 years. Using multivariable Cox regression models, we examined associations of TFAs with incident T2D.

RESULTS

The TFA subtypes were intercorrelated with each other, with other fatty acids, and with different food sources. After controlling for other TFAs, the iTFAs (18:1n-6t, 18:1n-9t, 18:2n-6,9t) were not associated with diabetes risk. Some rTFA subtypes were inversely associated with diabetes risk: vaccenic acid (18:1n-7t; hazard ratio [HR] per SD 0.72; 95% CI 0.58–0.89) and t10c12-CLA (HR per SD 0.81; 95% CI 0.70–0.94), whereas c9t11-CLA was positively associated (HR per SD 1.39; 95% CI 1.19–1.62). Trans-palmitoleic acid (16:1n-7t) was not associated with diabetes risk when adjusting for the other TFAs (HR per SD 1.08; 95% CI 0.88–1.31).

CONCLUSIONS

The TFAs’ conformation plays an essential role in their relationship to diabetes risk. rTFA subtypes may have opposing relationships to diabetes risk. Previous observations for reduced diabetes risk with higher levels of circulating trans-palmitoleic acid are likely due to confounding.
Perspective on light-fidelity and visible light communication

Published: February 2022

Visible light communication (VLC) is an exciting research area. VLC offers a significantly greater spectrum than radio frequency and is ideal for data communication. In VLC, the visible light spectrum, from 400 to 700 nm, is used for both lighting and communication. Gallium nitride-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes are the optical sources in visible light communications. Laser diodes have an advantage over LEDs in visible light communication. VLC has applications in underwater communication, vehicle-to-vehicle communications, among others.
Performance of Elliptical Solar Cooker Suitable for Baghdad Environment
Authors: Kreem Ola Abdul , Hussain Hazim H.
Published: February 2022

In this research, a solar cooker was manufacture from the scrap of an elliptical satellite dish, the dish was covered with reflective layer of aluminum that reflects up to up to 85% of solar radiation. This solar cooker has the ability to move horizontally in 360 degrees and vertically in 90 degrees, which makes it easier to follow the movement of the sun. Experimental investigation was carried out on this solar cooker in January, March, June, September between the hours of 9:00 AM. to 3:00 PM local time in Baghdad city in year 2020, by heating 1 L of water at every experiment, the results showed the best month for testing is June, due to the increase in the intensity of solar radiation and the reduced influence of weather factors, wind speed and cloud cover. this changing environmental conditions led to an instability in energy efficiency. The results also showed that the thermal efficiency is correlated inversely with solar radiation. This means that whenever the quantity of solar radiation was high we needed less energy to raise the temperature of the water, because the thermal efficiency is the ratio of the sensible energy required to heat the mass of water in the pot when the solar energy falls on the dish at the same time, and is correlated inversely with temperature and wind speed.

Wetting Property of Tin Nanoparticles Thin Films
Authors: Mahdi O. S. , Mohammed Nadheer Jassim
Published: February 2022

Thin film was formed by the method of thermal evaporation of tin. To studying the obtained thin film, we used a field emission scanning electron microscope. The resulting image is processed using the Gwyddion 2.20 program, which is used to determine the values of the contact angles of wetting with a tin of the substrate surface and the diameter of the drops. Droplet experiments were carried out to describe the wettability behavior of the textured surfaces used in this research. The clusters can take various forms, for example, a sphere or a hemisphere. We saw that the adhesion is good when the temperature is 250 C for a substrate. In addition, an important parameter at the stage of clusters is their size distribution, since it significantly affects the morphology of the film grown at the second stage.
